Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air duct construction in the field of building construction, and specifically relates to a component used for flange connection of air ducts in a narrow space and a connection structure thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, during the construction of air ducts in narrow indoor spaces, such as vertical air shafts, the vertical shaft is often surrounded by structural walls on three sides. Because the air ducts in vertical air shafts are mostly pressurized air supply ducts or smoke exhaust ducts for fire smoke exhaust systems, the ducts are large and often connected with flanges. The space between the ducts and the structural walls is narrow, resulting in insufficient space for duct connection and installation, making construction difficult or even impossible. The quality of the duct connection and installation cannot be guaranteed, and there is no space on both sides or the back of the duct for connection operations. This leads to poor construction quality of the vertical air shaft duct connection, loose ducting, and high subsequent maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a component for connecting flanges of air ducts in a narrow space includes a flange clamp for being arranged on the upper part of the air duct flange, and a pressure device for pressing the flange clamp.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the flange clamp consists of two parts: the left side is the pressure-bearing base 7 of the I-beam structure, and the right side is the inclined pressure piece 8. The inclined pressure piece 8 is a combination of a horizontal bottom plate 82 and a vertical vertical plate 81. The bottom plate 82 is a rectangular plate extending from the bottom of the left I-beam structure, and the vertical plate 81 is an extension of the waist plate in the middle of the I-beam structure. The vertical plate 81 is flush with the right end of the bottom plate 82. The vertical plate 81 is a right-angled trapezoid, with the left end of the vertical plate 81 forming the longer base of the trapezoid and the right end of the vertical plate 81 forming the shorter base. The upper edge of the vertical plate 81 is the hypotenuse. The angle formed by the hypotenuse and the bottom plate 82 is the clamp angle, which ranges from 0 to 30 degrees. The angle can be selected based on the specific usage conditions. Generally, for air ducts placed in an air shaft with a width of approximately 1 to 3 meters, a clamp angle θ of 10 to 30 degrees can meet the usage conditions. It is more advantageous to increase the angle as the width of the wind shaft increases. It is preferred that the left end of the vertical plate 81 is higher than the upper plane of the pressure base 7.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the pressure-applying device includes a base 4 for being arranged under the flange, a caliper track 6 vertically connected to the upper left end of the base 4, a self-locking caliper 5 with one end mounted on the caliper track 6, a fixed torque screw 2 connected to the other end of the self-locking caliper 5 and parallel to the caliper track 6, a fixed torque handle 1 arranged at the upper end of the fixed torque screw 2, and a flange clamp gasket 3 connected to the lower end of the fixed torque screw 2; the flange clamp gasket 3 is arranged above the pressure base 7.
[0026] In this embodiment, the flange fixture gasket 3 is a DAOLER diamond friction gasket. This gasket has excellent wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and high hardness. The embedded diamond particles can significantly increase the static friction coefficient, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection.
[0027] The upper surface of the pressure base 7 is a frosted surface to increase friction with the gasket and enhance stability.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] A narrow space duct flange connection structure, such as Figure 4 、 5 As shown, it includes an air duct 9 with a rectangular cross section arranged in a vertical air shaft with three sides being closed walls 10 and one side being open, and the component for flange connection of air duct in a narrow space in Example 1.
[0030] The upper and lower joints of the air duct 9 are connected by flanges 91. The pressure base 7 of the flange clamp is arranged on one side of the air shaft opening, and the inclined pressure piece 8 of the flange clamp is arranged on the side close to the closed wall 10. The flange clamp is placed on the upper part of the flange 91, and the base 4 is placed on the lower part of the flange 91. The flange clamp gasket 3 is pressed against the upper plane of the pressure base 7 by rotating the fixed torque screw 2 to achieve a sealed connection between the flanges.
[0031] The connection process is as follows: place the flange clamp on the upper part of the duct flange that has been fixed but not connected → adjust the flange clamp so that it coincides with the duct flange → place the clamp base on the lower part of the duct flange → adjust the self-locking caliper and adjust the fixing torque screw gasket to be directly above the pressure base of the flange clamp → turn the fixing torque handle → clamp the flange clamp and the duct flange → finally tighten the screw to achieve the duct connection sealing requirement.
[0032] The above embodiments are only partial embodiments of the present invention and cannot cover all of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments and drawings, those skilled in the art can obtain more implementation methods without paying any creative work. Therefore, these implementation methods obtained without paying any creative work should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
