Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding elbows, in particular to a direction-adjustable elbow for oil pipelines. Background Art

[0002] The welding elbows currently used have fixed directions between the inlet and outlet after the elbows are welded to the pipeline. For oil pipelines, four elbows are needed to form a U-shaped bend to compensate for thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline. According to on-site requirements, there are many requirements for the inlet and outlet direction angles of the elbows. Currently, cutting is used to achieve the above purpose. Announcement No. CN221922464 U proposes an elbow with adjustable direction, which is connected to the external connection through a first threaded groove. After installation, the elbow body is rotated to rotate inside the slide groove. When the appropriate direction angle is adjusted, the handle is turned to move the threaded rod downward. The movement of the threaded rod causes the locking block to press against the outer surface of the elbow body to complete the fixation. However, this technical solution is only fixed with a threaded rod, and the structural strength is insufficient for oil pipelines. Utility Model Content

[0005] There is an annular groove on the straight pipe section of the elbow body, and a sealing ring is installed in the annular groove. A step hole is processed on the inner side of the tapered hole of the rotating sleeve. The step hole is connected with the straight pipe section with a clearance fit, and there is a distance between the end face of the step hole and the straight pipe section.

[0007] The straight pipe section has a scale engraved on the inner side of the positioning sleeve.

[0008] A compression spring is installed between the rotating sleeve and the positioning sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an adjustable elbow for an oil pipeline includes an elbow body 1, and both sides of the elbow body 1 have a straight pipe section 12. A positioning sleeve 2 is sleeved on the straight pipe section 12, and a rotating sleeve 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the positioning sleeve 2. The inner hole of the positioning sleeve 2 is connected with the straight pipe section 12 with a clearance fit. The outer circle of the positioning sleeve 2 is a conical cylinder 23 structure, and the contact surface of the rotating sleeve 3 and the positioning sleeve 2 is a conical hole 31 structure. The conical cylinder 23 and the conical hole 31 have the same taper. The positioning sleeve 2 is provided with a through slit 22 along the axial direction from the end face, and the positioning sleeve 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 21 from the end face. The through holes 21 are evenly arranged around the circumference. The rotating sleeve 3 is provided with a plurality of through threaded holes 34. The positioning sleeve 2 and the rotating sleeve 3 are connected by bolts 4. The bolts 4 pass through the through holes 21 and are connected with the threaded holes 34. The rotating sleeve 3 and the straight pipe section 12 are connected with a clearance fit by a sealing ring 5. The bottom surface of the conical hole 31 of the rotating sleeve 3 does not contact the conical cylinder 23.

[0018] The positioning sleeve 2 is put on the straight pipe section 12, and the positioning sleeve 2 is connected to the rotating sleeve 3 by bolts. After adjusting the direction of the other straight pipe section 12 of the elbow body 1, the bolts 4 are tightened one by one. The distance between the positioning sleeve 2 and the rotating sleeve 3 is pulled closer, and the slit 22 shrinks under the restraining effect of the tapered hole 31. The inner hole of the positioning sleeve 2 gradually shrinks until the inner hole of the positioning sleeve 2 and the straight pipe section 12 reach an interference fit. The structural strength is the same as that of integrated manufacturing, thereby achieving the purpose of adjustable direction, reducing the difficulty of welding and docking the oil pipeline, and improving the quality of the weld.

[0019] An annular groove 11 is opened on the straight pipe section 12 of the elbow body 1, and a sealing ring 5 is installed in the annular groove 11. The rotating sleeve 3 is processed with a step hole 32 on the inner side of the tapered hole 31. The step hole 32 is connected with the straight pipe section 12 with a clearance fit. There is a distance between the end face of the step hole 32 and the straight pipe section 12. The rotating sleeve 3 can be adjusted in the length direction without destroying the sealing performance. It can also be installed on the elbow body 1 after the rotating sleeve 3 is welded to prevent the sealing ring 5 from being damaged by the welding heat.

[0020] A pipe end 33 extends from the outside of the rotating sleeve 3 . The size of the pipe end 33 is consistent with that of the straight pipe section 12 and is consistent with the welded pipeline.

[0021] The straight pipe section 12 is engraved with a scale 7 on the inner side of the positioning sleeve 2 to observe the adjusted length of the rotating sleeve 3.

[0022] A compression spring 6 is installed between the rotating sleeve 3 and the positioning sleeve 2 to assist in removing the positioning sleeve 2 .
