Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical seal technology, specifically to a metal spiral wound gasket mounting and positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Spiral wound gaskets, also known as inner and outer ring spiral wound gaskets, are a widely used type of sealing gasket and offer the best resilience among semi-metallic gaskets. They are made by alternately overlapping and spirally wound high-quality SUS304 or SUS316 ("V" or "W" shaped) metal strips and other alloy materials with soft materials such as graphite, asbestos, PTFE, and asbestos-free materials. The metal strips are secured at the beginning and end by spot welding. Additionally, the gasket may include inner and outer steel rings to control its maximum compression.

[0003] The main functions of spiral wound gaskets include: Sealing: Spiral wound gaskets are mainly used for sealing flange connections in pipes, valves, pressure vessels, condensers, heat exchangers, etc., ensuring a tight and secure seal. Adjusting pipe load: The excellent resilience of spiral wound gaskets allows for automatic adjustment to pressure, thermal cycles, and vibrations in piping systems. They are particularly suitable for applications with uneven loads, easily loosened joints, periodic temperature and pressure changes, and impacts or vibrations.

[0004] However, in practical applications, metal spiral wound gaskets, as important sealing elements, are widely used in flange connections of pipelines, valves, pressure vessels, and other equipment. However, during actual installation, factors such as uneven flange sealing surfaces, gasket size mismatch with the flange, and improper installation tools often lead to gasket misalignment, affecting sealing performance and even causing leakage accidents.

However, in actual installation, factors such as uneven flange sealing surfaces, gasket size mismatch with flanges, and improper installation tools often lead to gasket misalignment, affecting sealing performance and even causing leakage accidents.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including a connecting flange and a positioning device body, wherein fixing holes are provided through both sides of the front end of the positioning device body, and a power control box is fixedly installed at the front end of the positioning device body;

A drive shaft column is fixedly installed through the inner drive shaft of the drive motor at the outer end of the operating handle. A first synchronous pulley and a second synchronous pulley are fixedly installed sequentially from the inside to the outside on the outer curved surface of the drive shaft column. The outer ends of the first and second synchronous pulleys are respectively connected to a third synchronous pulley and a fourth synchronous pulley via a synchronous belt. A first internal threaded drive tube and a second internal threaded drive tube are fixedly installed in the middle of the third and fourth synchronous pulleys, respectively. A drive screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first and second internal threaded drive tubes, respectively. An arc-shaped extrusion plate for extruding and positioning the metal winding pad is fixedly installed on the inner side of the drive screw. Limiting sliding holes are opened through both sides of the main body of the positioning device. A limiting sliding rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the limiting sliding hole.

[0008] Preferably, there are two fixing holes, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the front end of the positioning device body, and the positions of the fixing holes match the positions of the mounting holes of the connecting flange.

[0009] Preferably, a mobile power supply is fixedly installed inside the power control box, and there are two operating handles, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the main body of the positioning device.

[0010] Preferably, the drive motor is equipped with a synchronous controller, and the inner side of the transmission shaft is rotatably connected to both ends of the positioning device body via a rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, the inner side of the limiting slide bar is fixedly installed on the outer side of the arc-shaped extrusion plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

When the transmission screw moves in a straight line inward, it will drive the arc-shaped extrusion plate to move in a straight line inward synchronously. When the arc-shaped extrusion plate moves in a straight line inward, it will clamp the metal spiral wound pad placed inside the main body of the positioning device in a centered manner, thereby facilitating the centered installation and positioning of the metal spiral wound pad.

The position of the fixing holes 3 matches the position of the mounting holes of the connecting flange 1.

[0023] Operating handles 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the positioning device body 2. There are two operating handles 5, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the positioning device body 2. A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the operating handle 5. The drive motor 6 is equipped with a synchronous controller. The transmission shaft of the drive motor 6 passes through the outer end of the operating handle 5 and a transmission shaft column 7 is fixedly installed. The inner side of the transmission shaft column 7 is rotatably connected to both ends of the positioning device body 2 via a rotating shaft. A first synchronous pulley 8 and a second synchronous pulley 9 are fixedly installed on the outer curved surface of the transmission shaft column 7 from the inside to the outside. The outer ends of the first synchronous pulley 8 and the second synchronous pulley 9 are respectively driven by a synchronous belt to a third synchronous pulley 10 and a fourth synchronous pulley 11. A first internal thread transmission tube 12 and a second internal thread transmission tube 13 are fixedly installed in the middle of the third synchronous pulley 10 and the fourth synchronous pulley 11, respectively. The first internal thread transmission tube 12 and the second internal thread transmission tube 13 are respectively rotatably connected to both sides of the positioning device body 2 through a rotating shaft. The inner walls of the first internal thread transmission tube 12 and the second internal thread transmission tube 13 are respectively threaded with transmission screws 14. An arc-shaped extrusion plate 15 for extruding and positioning the metal spiral wound pad is fixedly installed on the inner side of the transmission screw 14. Limiting sliding holes 16 are opened through both sides of the positioning device body 2, and there are four limiting sliding holes 16. Every two limiting sliding holes 16 form a group.
