Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical installation technology, specifically, it relates to an installation structure and its expansion joint. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, energy transmission, and building water supply and drainage systems, pipes and equipment often change length due to changes in the working environment (such as temperature rise or fall). If this thermal expansion and contraction is not properly handled, it may lead to stress concentration, leakage, or even rupture of the pipes, seriously affecting the safe operation of the system.

[0003] Utility model CN221017242U relates to an expansion joint installation structure for a sintering vibrating screen. The expansion joint is located in the space formed between the lower screen surface of an upper screen and the upper screen surface of a lower screen. A first pressure plate is fixed to the lower screen surface, and a second pressure plate is fixed to the upper screen surface. The upper end of the expansion joint is pressed tightly between the first pressure plate and the lower screen surface of the upper screen, and the lower end of the expansion joint is pressed tightly between the second pressure plate and the upper screen surface of the lower screen. An upper sealing gasket is embedded between the first pressure plate and the lower screen surface, and a lower sealing gasket is embedded between the second pressure plate and the upper screen surface. This utility model, by using the first pressure plate to press the upper end of the expansion joint onto the lower screen surface of the upper screen and the second pressure plate to press the lower end of the expansion joint onto the upper screen surface of the lower screen, changes the rigid connection structure of the expansion joint, effectively preventing the expansion joint connection from detaching due to severe vibration during screen operation, and reducing the equipment failure rate.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patents also have the following problems: the connection between the pipe and the corrugated pipe is usually made using a spiral connection. Although this connection method is simple and quick, the contact area at the connection is relatively small, which affects the stability and reliability of the connection to some extent. Due to the limited contact area, the stress and pressure borne by the connection may be more concentrated, and loosening may easily occur after long-term use, making the device inconvenient to use.

[0042] Working principle: The first end tube 10 and the second end tube 12 are connected by a connecting structure, which includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part. The first connecting part achieves the initial connection between the first end tube 10 and the second end tube 12 through the cooperation of the first snap-fit ​​groove 15, the first threaded groove 16, the second threaded groove 17 and the first limiting bolt 18. The second connecting part further strengthens the connection between the first end tube 10 and the second end tube 12 through the cooperation of the first fixing plate 19, the third threaded groove 20, the threaded tie rod 21 and the hexagonal nut 22. (The corrugated outer tube 1...) 1. The corrugated outer tube 11 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​groove 15 of the first end tube 10 and the second end tube 12 by the second snap-fit ​​plates 31 at both ends. By rotating the first limiting bolt 18, it is screwed into the second threaded groove 17, the fourth threaded groove 33 and the first threaded groove 16 in sequence, thereby realizing the limiting of the corrugated outer tube 11 between the first end tube 10 and the second end tube 12. A set of connecting flanges 13 are fixedly installed at the other end of the first end tube 10 and the second end tube 12. Through the flange hole 14 at the bottom of the connecting flange 13, this installation structure can be connected to an external pipeline. One end of the pipe 10 and the second end of the pipe 12 are provided with a second snap-fit ​​groove 25, and a first limiting ring plate 23 and a second limiting ring plate 24 are provided inside. The first snap-fit ​​plate 26 is snapped into the inside of the second snap-fit ​​groove 25. The first snap-fit ​​ring plate 27 and the second snap-fit ​​ring plate 28 are snapped into the inside of the second snap-fit ​​groove 25 by the first limiting ring plate 23 and the second limiting ring plate 24. The pipe connection is protected by a rubber gasket 29 to reduce the gap at the pipe connection. The expansion joint body 34 includes a corrugated outer pipe 11 and a corrugated inner pipe 30. The corrugated inner pipe 30 is fixedly installed in... The inner wall of the corrugated outer pipe 11 is protected. When the pipeline system expands and contracts due to temperature changes, the corrugated outer pipe 11 and the corrugated inner pipe 30 can undergo elastic deformation to absorb these deformations. This elastic deformation can reduce the stress on the pipeline or equipment and avoid strength failure, instability failure and pull-out failure. In addition to thermal expansion and contraction, the pipeline system may also be displaced due to other external factors (such as vibration, impact, etc.). The elastic deformation of the corrugated outer pipe 11 and the corrugated inner pipe can also absorb these displacements to ensure the safety and normal operation of the pipeline system.
