Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of flange technology, and in particular relates to a flange that is easy to position. Background Technology

[0002] A flange, also called a flange plate or flange, is a part used to connect shafts, for connecting pipe ends; flanges are also used on equipment inlets and outlets for connecting two pieces of equipment, such as gearbox flanges. A flange connection or flange joint refers to a detachable connection consisting of a flange, gasket, and bolts forming a combined sealing structure. Pipe flanges refer to flanges used for piping in pipeline installations, while equipment flanges refer to the inlet and outlet flanges of the equipment. Flanges have holes, and bolts are used to tightly connect two flanges. A gasket is used for sealing between flanges. Flanges are classified as threaded flanges, welded flanges, and clamp flanges. Flanges are always used in pairs; threaded flanges can be used for low-pressure pipelines, while welded flanges are used for pressures above four kilograms. A gasket is placed between two flange plates, and then they are tightened with bolts. Flanges of different pressure ratings have different thicknesses, and the bolts used also differ. Pumps and valves, when connected to pipelines, are also made with corresponding flange shapes, which is also called a flange connection. Any connecting part that uses bolts to connect and seal two planes is generally called a "flange," such as the connection of ventilation ducts. These parts can be called "flange-type parts." However, if this connection is only a part of a device, such as the connection between a flange and a water pump, it is not appropriate to call the water pump a "flange-type part." Smaller items, such as valves, can be called "flange-type parts."

[0003] In the use of existing flanges, the bolt holes of the two flanges need to be aligned to facilitate the insertion of the connecting bolts. However, the operation of aligning the bolt holes is cumbersome, and when there is a pipeline connected behind the flange, rotating the flange at a large angle requires rotating the entire pipeline, which is very heavy and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flange that is easy to position, solving the problem that existing flanges require the bolt holes of the two flanges to be aligned during use to facilitate the insertion of connecting bolts. However, the operation of aligning the bolt holes is cumbersome, and when there is a pipe connected to the back of the flange, rotating the flange at a large angle requires rotating the entire pipe, which is very heavy and inconvenient.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a flange that is easy to position, comprising a flange body and a fixing assembly. A hollow groove is formed on the circumferential side of the flange body. Multiple sets of mating grooves are evenly distributed on the side of the flange body. The mating grooves are connected to the hollow groove. A positioning ring plate is rotatably connected inside the hollow groove. A number of mounting holes are evenly distributed on the side of the positioning ring plate. The mounting holes are located at the mating grooves. A number of positioning insertion holes are formed on both sides of the circumferential surface of the flange body. A number of positioning screw holes are formed on the circumferential surface of the positioning ring plate.

[0007] The fixing component includes a fixing block, which is disposed on one side of the positioning ring plate. Both sides of the bottom surface of the fixing block are fixedly connected with mating rods. One end of the mating rod is inserted into the positioning hole. A positioning screw is slidably connected inside the fixing block, and the positioning screw is threadedly adapted to the positioning screw hole.

[0008] The positioning ring plate is larger than the flange body; this facilitates the rotation of the positioning ring plate to align the mounting holes.

[0009] The bottom surface of the fixing block is arc-shaped and is adapted to the arc surface of the positioning ring plate.

[0010] A welding protrusion is fixedly connected to one side of the flange body; by setting the welding protrusion, it is convenient to weld the pipes together.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] This utility model, by setting up a flange body, mating groove, positioning insertion hole, positioning ring plate, mounting hole, positioning screw hole, and fixing components, allows the positioning ring plate to be rotatably connected within the flange body. During installation, this enables the alignment of two flange bodies, and then the positioning ring plate is rotated to facilitate the alignment of the mounting holes, making the positioning insertion hole flush with one set of positioning screw holes. External bolts are then passed through the mounting holes and secured with nuts. Subsequently, the mating insertion rods on both sides of the bottom surface of the fixing block are inserted into the positioning insertion hole, and the positioning screws are tightened to thread them into the positioning screw holes, further limiting and fixing the positioning ring plate. This eliminates the need for frequent checks of the mounting hole alignment, making flange body assembly faster.

[0013] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0028] It should be further explained that in actual use, the two sets of flange bodies 1 are aligned, and then the positioning ring plate 2 is rotated to make the alignment of the mounting holes 201 easier and to make the positioning insertion hole 103 flush with one of the positioning screw holes 202. Then, the external bolts are passed through the mounting holes 201 and fixed with nuts. Then, the mating insertion rods 302 on both sides of the bottom surface of the fixing block 301 are inserted into the positioning insertion holes 103. Then, the positioning screws 303 are screwed to fix them with the threads of the positioning screw holes 202, which further limits and fixes the positioning ring plate 2. It is not necessary to frequently check the alignment of the mounting holes 201, making the connection of the flange bodies 1 faster.
