Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline compensators, in particular to a device for eliminating thermal expansion and contraction of PE pipelines which is convenient for maintenance. Background Art

[0002] Pipeline compensators, also known as expansion joints or expansion joints, are primarily used to compensate for the thermal expansion and contraction of pipelines due to temperature changes. If the pipeline cannot expand or contract completely freely during temperature changes, thermal stress will be generated in the pipeline. This stress must be considered in pipeline design, otherwise it may cause the pipeline to rupture and affect normal production. Pipeline compensators are widely used in PE pipelines.

[0003] When installing the pipe compensator, it is necessary to align the threaded holes of the end flange with the threaded holes of the flange on the pipe, and then connect them by bolts. However, most existing pipe compensators do not have the positioning function. During installation, it takes a certain amount of time to align the flange on the pipe compensator with the flange on the pipe. Later, after the pipe compensator is disassembled and repaired, it is not convenient to quickly position and install the pipe compensator. For this reason, we propose a PE pipe thermal expansion and contraction elimination device that is easy to repair. Utility Model Content

[0025] Next, the present invention is described in detail with reference to schematic diagrams.

Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The utility model provides a device for eliminating thermal expansion and contraction of PE pipes which is convenient for maintenance. The device positions the connecting flange by means of a positioning plate arranged on the connecting flange and a positioning groove opened on the pipe flange, so that the first threaded hole on the connecting flange is aligned with the first threaded hole on the pipe flange, so that the pipeline compensator can be quickly positioned after disassembly and maintenance is completed, thereby facilitating rapid installation on the pipeline.

[0028] Figure 1-Figure 4 The following is a schematic diagram showing the structure of an embodiment of a PE pipe thermal expansion and contraction elimination device that is convenient for maintenance. Figure 1-Figure 4 The present embodiment provides a PE pipeline thermal expansion and contraction elimination device that is easy to maintain, and its main body includes a pipeline compensator assembly 100, a pipeline body 200 and a positioning plate 300.

[0029] The pipeline compensator assembly 100 includes a pipeline compensator body 110 and connection flanges 120 provided at both ends of the pipeline compensator body 110 .

[0030] The pipe body 200 is disposed at both ends of the pipe compensator assembly 100. A pipe flange 201 is disposed on the inner side of the pipe body 200 and connected to the connecting flange 120. Multiple first threaded holes are defined in the pipe flange 201 and the connecting flange 120, each of which is provided with bolts. Positioning grooves 202 are defined in the pipe flange 201. Preferably, in this embodiment, a sealing gasket made of rubber is disposed between the connecting flange 120 and the pipe flange 201. The sealing gasket provided between the connecting flange 120 and the pipe flange 201 seals the gap between them, ensuring a tight connection between the two.

[0031] The positioning plate 300 is set on the outer wall of the connecting flange 120, and the positioning plate 300 is engaged with the positioning groove 202. The outer wall of the positioning plate 300 is rotatably provided with a limit plate 301. Preferably, in this embodiment, a threaded rod 305 is fixed to the middle part of the end of the positioning plate 300 near the connecting flange 120, and a second threaded hole 121 is provided on the outer side of the connecting flange 120. The threaded rod 305 is threadedly connected with the second threaded hole 121. The positioning plate 300 is threadedly installed on the connecting flange 120 under the action of the threaded rod 305 and the second threaded hole 121. Later, the operator can manually rotate the positioning plate 300 to remove it from the connecting flange 120 so as to disassemble and replace the positioning plate 300. A rotating rod 302 is fixed to the middle part of the inner wall of the limit plate 301, and a rotating plate 303 is fixed to the inner wall of the rotating rod 302. A slot 304 is provided on the outer wall of the positioning plate 300. The rotating rod 302 and the rotating plate 303 are rotatably arranged in the slot 304. The limit plate 301 can be rotated at the front end of the positioning plate 300 under the action of the rotating rod 302 and the rotating plate 303. After the positioning is completed, the limit plate 301 can be manually rotated so that the limit plate 301 is vertically set at the front end of the positioning plate 300, thereby limiting the entire pipeline compensator assembly 100 so that it can be subsequently installed by bolts. A protective pad is provided between the positioning plate 300 and the limit plate 301. The material of the protective pad is rubber. The protective pad provided between the positioning plate 300 and the limit plate 301 protects the two, prevents direct contact between the two and wear, and effectively extends their service life. There are two positioning plates 300, and the two positioning plates 300 further enhance the positioning of the pipeline compensator assembly 100.

[0032] Combine Figure 1-Figure 4 , a PE pipe thermal expansion and contraction elimination device that is easy to maintain in this embodiment is specifically used as follows: after the disassembly and maintenance of the pipe compensator is completed, the connecting flange 120 is positioned by setting it on the positioning plate 300 and on the pipe flange 201, so that the connecting flange 120 is positioned and installed on the pipe flange 201, thereby positioning the pipe compensator. After the positioning is completed, the first threaded holes on the connecting flange 120 and the pipe flange 201 are aligned, so that the pipe compensator after the disassembly and maintenance is completed can be quickly positioned so that it can be quickly installed on the pipe subsequently. By rotating the limit plate 301 set on the positioning plate 300, the limit plate 301 can be manually rotated after the positioning is completed, so that the limit plate 301 is vertically set at the front end of the positioning plate 300, thereby limiting the entire pipe compensator assembly 100, further facilitating its subsequent installation by bolts.

[0033] While the present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments, various modifications may be made and equivalent components may be substituted without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as no structural conflicts exist, the various features of the embodiments disclosed herein may be combined with one another in any manner, and the omission of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is solely for the sake of space and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but encompasses all technical solutions within the scope of the claims.
