DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make those skilled in the art can better understand the utility model, the utility model technical scheme is further explained below in connection with the drawings and examples.

[0025] Figures 1 to 4 A connecting pipe joint assembly is shown, comprising a first connecting body, a second connecting body and a sealing ring, the sealing ring is installed between the first connecting body and the second connecting body;

[0026] The sealing ring is a self-adjusting sealing ring that can be dynamically adjusted, the self-adjusting sealing ring comprises a sealing body, the sealing body is provided with a corrugated shape, and a spiral elastic memory body is arranged in the sealing body, the elastic memory body is used to adjust the sealing effect by changing the shape of the spiral according to the temperature and pressure. The structure of such a sealing ring allows it to have a large deformation space in both axial and radial directions. When the internal pressure increases, the corrugated or spiral part will gradually unfold, filling the possible gap.

[0027] The above-mentioned elastic memory body includes a memory alloy (copper-zinc alloy, nitinol) or a special rubber (such as fluororubber, silicone rubber), which can restore to its original shape after deformation by external force, and maintain stable performance within a certain temperature range.

[0028] Taking the pressure response mechanism as an example, the principle is as follows:

[0029] When the fluid pressure in the pipeline reaches a certain threshold (such as 0.5MPa), the sealing ring begins to swell slightly, initially filling the small gap between the pipeline wall and the joint.

[0030] If the pressure continues to rise to a higher level (such as 2MPa), the corrugated or spiral structure will further unfold, making the sealing ring fit the inner wall of the pipeline more tightly, forming a double or even multiple sealing layer.

[0031] The pressure level and shape correspondence is as follows:

[0032] Low pressure state (<0.5MPa): the sealing ring remains in the initial contracted state, relying only on its own pre-pressing force to provide basic sealing.

[0033] Medium pressure state (0.5MPa-2MPa): as the pressure rises, the sealing ring begins to swell, the corrugated or spiral structure gradually unfolds, and the sealing effect is enhanced.

[0034] High pressure state (>2MPa): the sealing ring is fully unfolded, forming the thickest sealing layer, ensuring good sealing performance even under extreme conditions.

[0035] The connecting pipe joint assembly is based on the unique properties of elastic memory materials, which can change shape after applying external force and restore to its original shape after removing the external force. By cleverly utilizing this feature, a sealing ring that can automatically adjust its shape according to the internal pressure of the pipeline is designed, not only improving the sealing effect, but also simplifying the installation process and reducing maintenance requirements.

[0036] In another embodiment, in order to improve the strength and installation stability of the sealing ring, the sealing body comprises a body section, and first and second corrugated sections are arranged at both ends of the body section.

[0037] Meanwhile, the first and second connecting bodies are respectively provided with first and second installation grooves for installing the sealing ring.

[0038] In another embodiment, in order to further improve the installation stability of the sealing ring, the connecting end face of the first connecting body is provided with an installation end portion, and the sealing ring is sleeved on the installation end portion, and the installation end portion provides a guiding and positioning basis for the installation of the sealing ring.

[0039] Meanwhile, the connecting end face of the second connecting body is provided with an inner groove matched with the installation end portion.

[0040] In another embodiment, the connecting pipe joint assembly further comprises a spring sleeved on the corrugated section of the sealing ring, and the sealing ring body itself has a certain pre-tightening pressure, and the spring is used to improve the pre-tightening force.

[0041] During installation, the compression force provided by the spring can help the sealing ring tightly fit between the first and second connecting bodies, and provide continuous elastic support for the sealing ring, so that stable sealing effect can be maintained even in the case of long-time operation or temperature change.

[0042] Moreover, the presence of the spring helps to uniformly distribute the stress applied on the sealing ring, avoids the risk of local stress concentration leading to sealing failure, and thus prolongs the service life of the sealing ring. Therefore, the addition of the spring not only enhances the installation stability of the sealing ring, but also significantly improves the working performance of the entire connecting pipe joint assembly.

[0043] The various embodiments in the specification are described in a progressive manner, and each embodiment focuses on the difference from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be mutually referred to.

[0044] In the specification, the terms "upper", "lower", "outer side", "inner side" and the like in the description and claims and the above drawings, if any, are used to distinguish the relative position relationship, and do not have to be given a nature.
