Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of compensator, specifically is a compound free type compensator. BACKGROUND

[0002] Expansion joint is also called compensator or expansion joint. It is composed of corrugated pipe (a kind of elastic element) and end pipe, support, flange, conduit and other accessories. Expansion joint is a flexible structure arranged on the vessel shell or pipeline to compensate additional stress caused by temperature difference and mechanical vibration. The effective expansion and deformation of the working body corrugated pipe are used to absorb the size change of pipeline, conduit, vessel and the like caused by thermal expansion and cold shrinkage, or compensate the axial, lateral and angular displacement of pipeline, conduit, vessel and the like. It can also be used for noise reduction and vibration reduction, heat supply, to prevent deformation or damage of pipeline due to thermal elongation or temperature stress when the pipeline is heated, and to compensate the thermal elongation of the pipeline to reduce the stress on the pipe wall and the force acting on the valve or support structure.

[0003] Corrugated pipe expansion joint is a kind of expansion joint made of metal corrugated pipe. It can expand and contract along the axis of the pipeline, and also allows a small amount of bending, which is used for axial length compensation of the pipeline. In order to prevent exceeding the allowable compensation amount, protective pull rods or protective rings are arranged at both ends of the corrugated pipe, and guide supports are arranged on the two end pipes connected with the corrugated pipe. In addition, there are corner type and lateral type expansion joints, which can be used to compensate the corner deformation and lateral deformation of the pipeline.

[0004] The existing compensator can compensate the axial displacement. When compensating the angular displacement, it relies on the performance of the corrugated pipe, which depends on the material of the corrugated pipe. When the angular displacement exceeds the performance of the corrugated pipe, the compensator is easily damaged by the angular displacement, which reduces the fatigue resistance of the corrugated pipe, and seriously causes damage to the compensator. The damage of the compensator easily leads to the reduction of the sealing performance, which accelerates the damage of the compensator.
