Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sleeve compensators, specifically a sleeve compensator with a self-sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Sleeve compensators, also known as pipe expansion joints, are compensation devices for hot fluid pipelines. They are mainly used to absorb and compensate for axial thermal expansion displacement that occurs after the laying of straight pipelines. They are compensators that are directly installed in any pipeline transporting non-corrosive unidirectional or multidirectional fluids. Sleeve compensators are widely used in pipelines in industries such as urban heating, mining, power generation, petrochemicals, and construction.

[0003] A search revealed that a typical example of a sleeve compensator in the prior art is disclosed in CN215674196U, which describes a high-strength sleeve compensator. This compensator includes an outer sleeve with a core tube fitted to one side. The outer sleeve has two guide rings inside, one fixedly connected to the inside of the outer sleeve and the other fixedly connected to the top of the core tube. Two auxiliary guide mechanisms are interlaced between the two guide rings and are respectively installed in the middle of the front and back sides of the guide rings. Multiple anti-pull-out mechanisms are fixedly connected to the top end of the core tube, and these mechanisms are all fixedly connected to one side of the guide rings. The gap between the two guide rings is sealed with flexible sealing graphite. This high-strength sleeve compensator is equipped with anti-pull-out mechanisms to withstand stronger axial thermal expansion during sliding motion compensation. A spring and telescopic rod are positioned between the first and second fixed blocks. When sliding occurs, the spring's compression generates a rebound force that offsets part of the sliding force, thus increasing the strength of the sleeve compensator.

[0004] In summary, the existing sleeve compensator suffers from problems such as friction between the core tube and the outer sleeve during core tube movement, leading to wear of the sealing packing and a decrease in sealing performance. To address these issues, improvements to the existing equipment are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the second protective sleeve passes through the corresponding mounting flange and the first sealing gasket via a connecting screw and extends to the outside of the second protective sleeve, while the first sealing gasket is located inside the second protective sleeve near the outer tube.

[0012] Preferably, the sealing assembly includes a support ring seat, sealing filler, a positioning rod, a buffer spring, and a third sealing gasket. The support ring seat is sleeved on the outside of the inner core tube, and the outside of the support ring seat is threaded to the inside of the outer tube.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the sleeve compensator with a self-sealing structure,

[0014] (1) In order to solve the problem that the existing sleeve compensator has a position between the core tube and the outer tube, and the friction between the core tube and the sealing packing during the movement of the core tube causes the sealing packing to wear and the sealing performance to decline, this application sets a first sealing gasket, a second sealing gasket and a third sealing gasket, so that the inner core tube has a better connection and sealing performance when it moves. At the same time, the sealing packing is filled between one end of the inner core tube and the support ring seat. When used with positioning block, positioning rod, buffer spring and third sealing gasket, the buffer spring is used to form an elastic self-sealing structure, thereby improving the sealing effect and sealing performance.

Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the inner core tube 1 is located inside the outer tube 2, and mounting flanges 201 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer tube 2. Simultaneously, a moving block 101 and a positioning block 102 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the inner core tube 1 about the middle. A limiting sleeve 3 is provided on the outer side of one end of the inner core tube 1 near the moving block 101, and one end of the limiting sleeve 3 is threadedly connected to a threaded groove on the inner side of one end of the outer tube 2. The mounting flange 201 on one side is connected to the limiting sleeve 3 via a fixing screw 4, and the fixing screw 4 passes through the limiting sleeve 3 and is connected to a fixing nut 5. A limiting groove 301 is provided on the inner side of the limiting sleeve 3, and the position of the limiting groove 301 corresponds to the position of the moving block 101. Through the limiting sleeve 3, the inner core tube 1 has a certain limiting and guiding property when moving, while reducing the impact of the inner core tube 1 on the inner tube 2. The wear of the wall is mitigated by the threaded connection of a first protective sleeve 6 to the outer side of the inner core tube 1 near the limiting sleeve 3. A second sealing gasket 10 is provided on the outer side of the inner core tube 1 and the side away from the first protective sleeve 6. The second sealing gasket 10 is located inside the outer tube 2. The second sealing gasket 10 improves the sealing performance of the connection between the pipe and the inner core tube 1. A second protective sleeve 7 is provided on the outer side of the outer tube 2 away from the limiting sleeve 3. The second protective sleeve 7 passes through the corresponding mounting flange 201 and the first sealing gasket 9 via a connecting screw 8 and extends to the outer side of the second protective sleeve 7. The first sealing gasket 9 is located inside the second protective sleeve 7 near the outer tube 2.
