Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compensator technology, specifically to a compensator that is easy to install. Background Art

[0002] The main function of the compensator is to compensate for the displacement of the pipeline caused by thermal expansion and contraction, so as to ensure the stable operation of the pipeline system. The compensator is easy to install and can also play its due compensation role after installation, preventing the pipeline from being damaged due to excessive stress.

[0003] According to a patent application published on the Internet (CN 220706738 U), "An easy-to-install pipe compensator includes a fixed plate, a pipe compensator body, a connecting pipe, a positioning plate, and a positioning mechanism. The fixed plate is disposed at the top and bottom of the pipe compensator body, the positioning plate is disposed inside the fixed plate, the connecting pipe is disposed at the top of the positioning plate, and the positioning mechanism includes a fixed cylinder disposed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe, a rotating rod disposed inside the fixed cylinder, and a bent rod disposed on the surface of the rotating rod."

[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following issues exist:

[0005] In use, the connecting pipe is held by hand, the position of the positioning block is adjusted so that it is above the slot, then the positioning plate is inserted into the fixed plate, and the connecting pipe is rotated 90 degrees clockwise so that the limiting block is above the auxiliary block. Then, the fixing ring is held by hand and the rotating rod is rotated to drive the limiting block to extend into the slot, thus completing the installation of the connecting pipe to the main body of the pipe compensator. However, in actual use, this device requires repeated turning of the rotating rod to drive the limiting block into the slot to fix it. In addition, the rotating rod also needs to be turned in the opposite direction during the later disassembly process to complete the disassembly work, which further increases the installation time and makes it impossible to quickly connect the connecting pipe and the compensator, further increasing the tediousness of the work for the staff. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the compensator to be easier to install. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an easy-to-install compensator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an easy-to-install compensator, comprising a compensator body, a connecting sleeve fixedly connected to the top of the compensator body, a quick-connect positioning mechanism provided inside the connecting sleeve, and a sealing mechanism provided at the bottom of the quick-connect positioning mechanism;

[0008] The quick-connect positioning mechanism includes a quick-connect component and a positioning component, wherein the positioning component is disposed outside the quick-connect component;

[0009] The positioning component includes a connecting tube inserted into the inner side of the connecting sleeve. The connecting tube is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides with a retaining frame. A second inclined block is slidably connected inside the connecting sleeve. A sliding column is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second inclined block. A third spring is fixedly connected between the second inclined block and the connecting sleeve to facilitate fixing the connecting tube and the connecting sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, a groove is provided at the position corresponding to the card frame of the second inclined block, and the second inclined block is inserted into the groove to facilitate the positioning of the connecting pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the quick-connect assembly includes a locking block, which is slidably connected inside the connecting sleeve. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block. A first spring is fixedly connected between the locking block and the connecting sleeve. A first inclined block is slidably connected inside the connecting sleeve. A pull plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the first inclined block. A second spring is fixedly connected between the pull plate and the connecting sleeve, which facilitates quick secondary fixing of the connecting tube.

[0012] Preferably, a groove is provided at the position corresponding to the first inclined block and the card block, and the first inclined block is inserted into the groove to facilitate fixing the card block.

[0013] Preferably, a slot is provided at the position corresponding to the connecting pipe of the card block, and the card block is inserted into the slot, so that the card block can be fixed in the slot corresponding to the connecting pipe.

[0014] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a No. 4 spring, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting sleeve. The top of the No. 4 spring is fixedly connected to the connecting sleeve, and a No. 1 sealing ring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting sleeve. A retaining sleeve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting tube, and a No. 2 sealing ring is sleeved on the outside of the retaining sleeve, so as to achieve a sealing effect at the connection between the connecting tube and the connecting sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring abut against each other, and the first sealing ring and the second sealing ring abut against the inner side of the connecting sleeve respectively, which facilitates the improvement of the sealing effect between the connecting sleeve and the connecting pipe.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a compensator that is easy to install and has the following advantages:

[0017] This easy-to-install compensator uses a quick-connect positioning mechanism. The connecting pipe is inserted into the connecting sleeve, and rotating it positions it. At this point, the first inclined block inserts into the corresponding slot of the locking block, thus securing it. Once the connecting pipe is positioned, the locking block is re-inserted into the corresponding slot by the spring force of the first spring, quickly securing the connecting pipe and further reducing installation time. This allows for rapid connection between the connecting pipe and the compensator body, reducing the workload for workers.

[0018] This easy-to-install compensator, through its sealing mechanism, pushes the No. 1 sealing ring and the No. 2 sealing ring housing together during the pressing down of the connecting pipe, causing both the No. 1 and No. 2 sealing rings to deform simultaneously. This results in the No. 1 and No. 2 sealing rings abutting against the inner side of the connecting sleeve, thereby further improving the sealing effect at the connection between the connecting sleeve and the connecting pipe.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an easy-to-install compensator, including a compensator body 1, a connecting sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the top of the compensator body 1, a quick-connect positioning mechanism 3 provided inside the connecting sleeve 2, and a sealing mechanism 4 provided at the bottom of the quick-connect positioning mechanism 3.

[0032] The quick-connect positioning mechanism 3 includes a quick-connect component 31 and a positioning component 32, with the positioning component 32 disposed outside the quick-connect component;

[0033] The positioning component 32 includes a connecting tube 321, which is inserted into the inner side of the connecting sleeve 2. The front and rear sides of the connecting tube 321 are fixedly connected to the retaining frame 322. The connecting sleeve 2 is slidably connected to a second inclined block 323. The outside of the second inclined block 323 is fixedly connected to a sliding column 325. A third spring 324 is fixedly connected between the second inclined block 323 and the connecting sleeve 2 to facilitate fixing the connecting tube 321 and the connecting sleeve 2.

[0034] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the corresponding position of the second inclined block 323 and the card frame 322, and the second inclined block 323 is inserted into the groove to facilitate the positioning of the connecting pipe 321.

[0035] Furthermore, the quick-connect assembly 31 includes a locking block 311, which is slidably connected inside the connecting sleeve 2. A sliding plate 312 is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking block 311. A first spring 313 is fixedly connected between the locking block 311 and the connecting sleeve 2. A first inclined block 314 is slidably connected inside the connecting sleeve 2. A pull plate 315 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first inclined block 314. A second spring 316 is fixedly connected between the pull plate 315 and the connecting sleeve 2, which facilitates quick secondary fixation of the connecting tube 321.

[0036] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the corresponding position of the first inclined block 314 and the locking block 311, and the first inclined block 314 is inserted into the groove to facilitate fixing the locking block 311.

[0037] Furthermore, a slot is provided at the position corresponding to the connecting pipe 321 of the locking block 311, and the locking block 311 is inserted into the slot, so that the locking block 311 can be fixed in the slot corresponding to the connecting pipe 321.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Please see Figure 7 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the sealing mechanism 4 includes a fourth spring 41, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting sleeve 2. A connecting cover 42 is fixedly connected to the top of the fourth spring 41, and a first sealing ring 43 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting cover 42. A retaining sleeve 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting tube 321, and a second sealing ring 45 is sleeved on the outside of the retaining sleeve 44, so as to achieve a sealing effect at the connection between the connecting tube 321 and the connecting sleeve 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the first sealing ring 43 and the second sealing ring 45 abut against each other, and the first sealing ring 43 and the second sealing ring 45 abut against the inner side of the connecting sleeve 2 respectively, which facilitates the improvement of the sealing effect between the connecting sleeve 2 and the connecting pipe 321.

[0041] In actual operation, when the device is used, firstly, the connecting tube 321 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 2 through the quick-connect positioning mechanism 3. The connecting tube 321 is rotated, causing it to rotate within the corresponding groove of the connecting sleeve 2. During rotation, the retaining frame 322 contacts the inclined block, pushing the inclined block outwards. When the retaining frame 322 aligns with the groove corresponding to the inclined block, the elastic force of the third spring 324 causes the second inclined block 323 to re-insert into the corresponding groove of the retaining frame 322, thus completing the positioning of the connecting tube 321. At this time, the first inclined block 314 is inserted into the corresponding groove of the retaining block 311, thus fixing the retaining block 311. After the connecting pipe 321 is positioned, pull the pull plate 315 forward. The pull plate 315 drives the first inclined block 314 forward, so that the first inclined block 314 is completely disengaged from the locking block 311. Under the elastic force of the first spring 313, the locking block 311 is reinserted into the groove corresponding to the connecting pipe 321, so that the connecting pipe 321 can be quickly fixed. During the installation process, the sealing mechanism 4 pushes the first sealing ring 43 and the second sealing ring 45 into contact during the pressing of the connecting pipe 321, so that the first sealing ring 43 and the second sealing ring 45 deform at the same time, and then the first sealing ring 43 and the second sealing ring 45 abut against the inside of the connecting sleeve 2.
