[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The inner diameter surface of the intermediate limiting ring 40 plate 12 is flush with the pipe wall of the first long pipe 201 and the second long pipe 202.
[0037] The corrugated compensator 100 in the utility model can ensure that the compensator works within the effective compensation range, and once the expansion amount of the pipeline exceeds the compensation range of the compensator, the limiting device of the compensator itself will limit its stretching or compression, thereby protecting the safe operation of the compensator.
[0038] The corrugated compensator 100 changes the pipeline compensation from one-way to two-way, and in order to make the two-way direct-buried compensator play a compensation role, fixed supports must be arranged at both ends of the compensator to prevent the pipeline from moving outward and stretching under the influence of internal pressure thrust. In this way, the direct-buried two-way metal corrugated compensator can be placed in the middle position of the two fixed supports, so that the resistance of the pipeline to the soil is greatly reduced.
[0039] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the direct-buried pipeline 200 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes two fixed supports 203, a first long pipe 201, a second long pipe 202 and a corrugated compensator 100, the two fixed supports 203 are oppositely arranged underground; the first long pipe 201 is arranged underground, and one end of the first long pipe 201 is connected with one fixed support 203 and extends towards the other fixed support 203; the second long pipe 202 is arranged underground, and one end of the second long pipe 202 is connected with the other fixed support 203 and extends towards the first long pipe 201; the corrugated compensator 100 is the corrugated compensator 100 of any one of the above embodiments, and the corrugated compensator 100 is arranged at the joint of the first long pipe 201 and the second long pipe 202.
[0040] The corrugated compensator 100 of the utility model has super bending resistance, is not affected by pipeline subsidence, and can realize free expansion compensation under the protection of the outer cylinder. The compensator plays a very important role in the heat pipeline, and the expansion deformation of the pipeline can be absorbed by the compensator. The material of the compensator is carbon steel or stainless steel, and the corrugated pipe part is stainless steel. The compensator is connected with the pipeline and works underground.
[0041] The corrugated compensator 100 of the utility model is mainly used for axial compensation of the heat pipeline, has bending resistance, and is generally placed at the middle position of the two fixed supports to absorb a larger compensation amount. When the compensator works, the pressure thrust generated by the thermal expansion of the pipeline acts on the long pipes at both ends of the compensator, so that compression displacement ΔX' or stretching displacement ΔX' is generated at both ends of the compensator.
[0042] When the corrugated compensator 100 of the utility model is compressed, the two-direction ΔX' displacement is moved from both ends to the middle position, and when the compression reaches a certain degree, the ΔX' displacement of both ends is limited by the middle limiting ring plate 12 and reaches balance, at this time, it is also the maximum compression displacement of the compensator, that is, ΔX'+ΔX'=ΔX. With the limitation of the middle limiting ring plate 12, the displacement of the long pipes at both ends of the compensator caused by the pressure thrust of the pipeline is equal. At this time, the middle limiting ring plate 12 also plays a role of protecting the compensator from being damaged by excessive compression.
[0043] When the corrugated compensator 100 of the utility model is stretched by the thermal expansion of the pipeline, two-direction ΔX' displacement is generated, and when the stretching reaches a certain degree, the ΔX' displacement of both ends is limited by the end limiting ring plate 13 and reaches balance, at this time, it is also the maximum stretching displacement of the compensator, that is, ΔX'+ΔX'=ΔX. With the limitation of the end limiting ring plate 13, the two-side stretching displacement of the long pipes at both ends of the compensator caused by the pressure thrust of the pipeline is equal. At this time, the end limiting ring plate 13 also plays a role of protecting the compensator from being damaged by excessive stretching.
[0044] The corrugated compensator 100 has good wear resistance, is suitable for hot water pipes, steam pipes and the like, and can compensate additional stress caused by temperature difference and mechanical vibration.
[0045] The main advantages of the corrugated compensator 100 of the utility model include:
[0046] 1. The compensator can realize long-distance steam delivery, and compared with the traditional one-way compensation mode, the pressure drop is lower, so that the steam delivery distance can reach 20 kilometers, and the energy consumption is reduced.
[0047] 2. The compensator has long distance and strong compensation capacity, and can save 30% and 25%-30% of construction investment.
[0048] 3. The compensator has small pressure drop, reduced heat loss, and brings huge economic benefits in long-term operation.
[0049] 4. The compensator has super bending resistance, is not affected by pipeline sinking, and can realize free expansion compensation under the protection of the outer cylinder, the guide long pipe and the self-limiting protection.
[0050] 5. Adapt to high water level environment, the compensator can effectively resist corrosion caused by high underground water level, and is especially suitable for high ion soil corrosion environment of coastal cities.
[0051] 6. Due to the increase of the self-limiting structure, the compensator is more uniform than the traditional stress, the pressure drop is greatly reduced, and the safe operation of the compensator is well protected by limiting.
