Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of expansion joints, in particular to an expansion joint connection sealing component. Background Art

[0002] An expansion joint is a flexible component that effectively compensates for axial deformation. For example, an expansion joint welded to the shell of a fixed tube-sheet heat exchanger has high axial flexibility and is easily deformed. This compensates for the thermal expansion difference between the tubes and the shell due to different wall temperatures, reducing their axial load and, therefore, minimizing the thermal stresses in the tubes, tubesheet, and shell, thus avoiding damage to the tubes, resulting in instability, and tube pull-out.

[0003] In the prior art, expansion joints are usually connected to pipes through connecting flanges. However, since expansion joints are often used outdoors, the connecting parts of the expansion joints are easily corroded by rainwater or other liquids with long-term use, resulting in poor sealing performance of the expansion joints and shortening the service life of the expansion joints. Therefore, it is necessary to improve an expansion joint connection sealing assembly to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an expansion joint connection sealing assembly to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0007] Preferably, a sliding groove is provided inside the positioning block at a position corresponding to the flange connecting rod, and the flange connecting rod is slidably installed in the sliding groove, so as to facilitate the positioning of the positioning block.

[0009] Preferably, threaded holes are provided inside the threaded plate at positions corresponding to the bidirectional threaded rods, and the bidirectional threaded rods are threadedly installed in the threaded holes to facilitate the movement of the threaded plate.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an expansion joint connection sealing assembly with the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The expansion joint connection sealing assembly, through the provided sealing mechanism, during use, through the provided positioning block, with the cooperation of the flange connecting rod, it is convenient to position the sealing cover; by rotating the stud, it is convenient to move the lifting plate; with the cooperation of the baffle, it is convenient to limit the flange connecting rod, thereby completing the limiting of the sealing cover, without the need for staff to support the sealing cover for a long time, facilitating the subsequent installation of another sealing cover; through the provided first sealing gasket and the second sealing gasket, the sealing work of the expansion joint is facilitated, thereby increasing the service life of the expansion joint.

[0012] 2. The expansion joint connection sealing assembly is provided with a stabilizing mechanism.

[0024] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism 8 includes a positioning block 801, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the expansion joint 1. A stud 802 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the positioning block 801, and a lifting plate 803 is threadedly mounted on the outside of the stud 802. A baffle 804 is fixedly mounted on the side of the lifting plate 803 close to the flange connecting rod 6. A first sealing gasket 805 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the expansion joint 1, and a second sealing gasket 806 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the arc-shaped sealing plate 7, which facilitates sealing and protection of the expansion joint.

[0025] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided inside the positioning block 801 at a position corresponding to the flange connecting rod 6 , and the flange connecting rod 6 is slidably installed in the sliding groove, which facilitates the positioning of the positioning block 801 .

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] See also Figure 5 , and combined with Example 1, it is further obtained that the stabilizing mechanism 9 includes a protrusion 901, the protrusion 901 is fixedly installed on the outside of the sealing cover 2, a limit block 902 is slidably installed inside the protrusion 901, a threaded plate 903 is fixedly installed on the outside of the limit block 902, a connecting shell 904 is slidably installed on the outside of the threaded plate 903, and a bidirectional threaded rod 905 is rotatably installed inside the connecting shell 904 to facilitate the limiting work of the sealing cover 2.
