[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0033] A thin flange assembly includes a first flange 1, a filter element, and a second flange 2.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner side of the end face of the first flange 1 extends inward to form an annular stepped portion 3 for installing a filter element; a plurality of first connecting through holes 4 are provided on the end face of the first flange 1 in an annular array.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter element includes a filter screen 5 and a frame 6, with the frame 6 located at the outer edge of the filter screen 5; the frame 6 is disposed within the annular stepped portion 3.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the stepped portion of the first flange 1 is uniformly provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 7, and the frame 6 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions 8. The positioning protrusions 8 correspond one-to-one with the positioning grooves 7. The positioning protrusions 8 are inserted into the corresponding positioning grooves 7 to achieve positioning and prevent the filter element from sliding in the annular stepped portion 3.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the filter screen 5 has a curved surface, which effectively increases the filtration area.
[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the inner side of the end face of the second flange 2 extends outward to form an annular protrusion 9, which is adapted to the annular step portion 3. The annular protrusion 9 is inserted into the annular step portion 3 to fix the filter element. The end face of the second flange 2 is provided with a plurality of second connecting through holes 10, which correspond one-to-one with the first connecting through holes 4.
[0039] Each of the first connecting through holes 4 is provided with a bolt 11, which passes through the first connecting through hole 4 and the corresponding second connecting through hole 10, and the end of the bolt 11 is fitted with a nut 12.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the outer ends of the first flange 1 and the second flange 2 extend outward to form a connection area 13 for welding with external pipes. Further, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the end of the connection area 13 has an annular bevel 14 to facilitate welding with external pipes.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, two annular grooves 15 are provided on the end face of the first flange 1 and the end face of the second flange 2. The two annular grooves 15 on the first flange 1 correspond one-to-one with the annular grooves 15 on the second flange 2 and are compatible. Sealing rings (not shown in the figure) are inserted into the two annular grooves 15 on the first flange 1. With this arrangement, the two sealing rings achieve a double sealing effect.
[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, when installing the above-mentioned thin flange assembly, the first flange 1 and the second flange 2 are first welded to the pipe to be connected. The filter element is installed on the annular step 3 of the first flange 1. Then, sealing rings are inserted into the two annular grooves 15. The first flange 1 and the second flange 2 are connected by bolts 11 and fixed by nuts 12. The flange assembly has a filter element inside, which can filter the medium in the pipe and is convenient for installation and disassembly.
