[0022] Below, the present invention is further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The illustrated flange gasket installation tool includes a support platform 10, multiple support columns, and a fixing member 20. A connection channel 11 is provided in the center of the support platform 10, and a connection port 12 is provided on the side of the support platform 10, which extends through the connection channel 11. Furthermore, the support columns 30 are protruding from the end surface of the support platform 10 and can be connected to the flange gasket. The fixing member 20 is provided on the side edge of the support platform 10, and the connecting member can be detachably connected to the flange.

[0026] Based on the above structure, when using the flange gasket installation tool of the present invention, when replacing an old valve with a new valve, first insert the support platform 10 of the flange gasket installation tool from the side through the through-hole 12. In this way, the pipe flange of the new valve can be inserted into the through-hole 12 and the connecting channel 11 in the middle of the support platform 10. The support platform 10 is aligned with the flange, and the support column 30 of the support platform 10 is aligned with the flange hole of the pipe flange and inserted into the flange hole. Thereafter, the fixing member 20 on the support platform 10 is fixed to the pipe flange on the new valve. Afterwards, the gasket holes of the valve flange gasket are installed on the support column 30 in a one-to-one correspondence, thus completing the pre-installation of the pipe flange and gasket of the new valve.

[0027] After that, the old valve on the installation pipe is removed, and the new valve is assembled to the installation pipe with bolts and other structures. The pipe flange of the new valve corresponds to the original pipe flange on the installation pipe. After installation, the gasket is tightly attached to and connected to the original pipe flange on the installation pipe. Then the support platform 10 can be separated from the pipe through the side interface 12 to complete the valve replacement.

[0028] In this way, by setting up the flange gasket installation tool, the timeliness requirement of valve replacement can be met, the valve installation operation can be completed in a time-saving and labor-saving manner, and the operation quality and safety can be improved. In addition, during assembly, the side insertion port 12 is inserted or removed to achieve fast and firm fixation of the flange gasket, while significantly reducing installation costs and time costs. At the same time, the inner diameter of the insertion channel 11 of the support platform 10 and the outer diameter of the support column 30 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to flanges and gaskets of different sizes, meet the use requirements in different scenarios, and be suitable for pipeline connections under various working conditions, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the system.

[0029] Furthermore, a limiting structure 31 can be provided at the end of the support column 30 away from the supporting platform 10. The limiting structure 31 is protruded from the outer peripheral edge of the support column 30. In this way, when the gasket is inserted into the support column 30, it can first avoid the limiting structure 31 from entering, and then the gasket is straightened. The limiting structure 31 at the end of the support column 30 can prevent the gasket from detaching during the installation process, so that the installation process of the gasket is more stable.

[0030] Of course, the above-mentioned limiting structure 31 can also be realized by using a deformable structure such as rubber, silicone or plastic, so that it can be squeezed and penetrated during the gasket penetration process, and then reset to achieve limiting after the gasket penetrates.

[0031] More specifically, the limiting structure 31 is a limiting step, which is arranged around the circumference of the end of the support column 30 , so that the limiting step can achieve limiting and anti-slipping in the circumferential direction of the support column 30 .

[0032] Furthermore, the support column 30 is a hollow structure, which is more prone to deformation. During the gasket penetration process, the hollow support column 30 can be squeezed so that the limiting structure 31 can avoid the gasket hole of the gasket and achieve penetration.

[0033] Furthermore, a plurality of support columns 30 are provided, and the plurality of support columns 30 are spaced apart and distributed in the circumferential direction of the support platform 10. Since the existing flange generally has a plurality of holes, the plurality of support columns 30 can correspond one to one with the plurality of flange holes.

[0034] Furthermore, the fixing member 20 is a fixing buckle, so that the fixing buckle can be clamped on the periphery of the flange to achieve the detachability of the supporting platform 10 and the flange, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixing clip includes a connecting arm 21 and a hook 22. One end of the connecting arm 21 is connected to the side edge of the support platform 10, and the hook 22 is connected to the other end of the connecting arm 21. In this way, the connecting arm 21 can form a certain locking gap between the hook 22 and the support platform 10, so that after the valve flange is inserted, the peripheral edge of the flange fits into the locking gap and the hook is engaged.

[0036] Furthermore, a plurality of fixing buckles are provided on the periphery of the supporting platform 10 , so that the flange is fixed with a plurality of fixing buckles on the periphery, and the assembly structure is more stable.

[0037] Furthermore, the supporting platform 10 is annular, adapted to the structure of the flange and the pipeline, has a high degree of adaptability after assembly, and has a more stable connection structure after assembly.

[0038] Furthermore, the supporting platform 10 is made of hard plastic material. In this way, the deformability of the plastic material is utilized, and the supporting platform 10 can be deformed during the insertion or removal process, making disassembly and assembly more convenient.

[0039] Those skilled in the art can make various other corresponding changes and deformations based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all of these changes and deformations should fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
