Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tee pipe technology, specifically an external conductor tee for nuclear power plants. Background Technology
[0002] A pipe fitting with three openings is called a tee. Tee fittings are widely used in pipeline networks for transporting liquids and gases. Depending on the medium being transported, tee fittings are made of materials such as cast iron, cast steel, cast copper, cast aluminum, plastic, and glass. As the name suggests, a tee fitting has three openings.
[0003] A search revealed that patent application CN208221859U discloses a novel external thread tee fitting, comprising a T-shaped pipe body. The pipe body includes a straight pipe and a side pipe, which are connected. The end of the side pipe is formed with a connector pipe that communicates with it. The connector pipe has external threads. The bottom end of the side pipe extends to the inner wall of the straight pipe and is integrally formed therewith. The lower end of the side pipe also has a through hole that communicates with the straight pipe, which facilitates installation and disassembly.
[0004] However, due to the design of the connector pipe, the connector pipe is connected to other pipes by threads. Threaded connections have low sealing performance, are prone to deformation at high temperatures, and have poor performance. At the same time, when using threaded connections, stripping is likely to occur during rotation installation, resulting in low installation stability, poor sealing, and poor installation effect.
[0005] Therefore, we propose an external conductor tee for nuclear power plants. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an external conductor tee for nuclear power plants, which solves the problems of low sealing performance and poor installation effect of existing devices.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an external conductor tee for nuclear power plants, comprising a tee pipe with three openings;
[0008] The three openings of the tee pipe are respectively equipped with flanges A. A fixed sleeve A of the same specification is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of flange A. A sealing neck of the same specification is fixedly installed on the top surface of flange A. An annular sealing groove is opened on the top surface of the sealing neck. A sealing gasket of the same specification as the sealing neck is installed on the top surface of flange A. A flexible gasket of the same specification as the sealing groove is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sealing gasket.
[0009] A flange B of the same specifications is mounted on top of flange A. A mounting groove of the same specifications is opened on the bottom surface of flange B. Two sets of positioning blocks with opposite positions are fixedly installed on the top surface of flange A. Six sets of through holes A with opposite positions are opened on the top surface of flange A. Two sets of positioning holes with opposite positions are opened on the bottom surface of flange B. Six sets of through holes B with the same specifications are opened on the bottom surface of flange B.
[0010] Preferably, the tee pipe is manufactured as a single piece, which can improve the overall strength and stability of the tee pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the tee is made of aluminum and has a wall thickness of 7mm, which improves the corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance of the tee.
[0012] Preferably, the sealing gasket is made of metal material and the flexible gasket is made of flexible graphite gasket material. This combination of two materials improves the gasket's high-temperature resistance and sealing performance.
[0013] Preferably, a fixing sleeve B of the same specification is fixedly installed on the top surface of the flange B, which facilitates the installation of the flange B.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom surface of flange A is fixedly equipped with uniformly distributed reinforcing blocks A, and the top surface of flange B is fixedly equipped with uniformly distributed reinforcing blocks B, which can improve the strength of flange A and flange B.
[0015] 1. This type of external conductor tee for nuclear power plants, through the setting of a sealing neck and a sealing gasket, has a sealing neck on flange A and a sealing gasket installed on the sealing neck. In this way, flange A and flange B adopt a ring connection, which has high sealing performance and can be used under high temperature and high pressure, thereby improving the practicality and performance of the device.
[0016] 2. Simultaneously, by setting up positioning blocks and through holes, the sealing neck is located in the mounting groove, and the positioning block is located in the positioning hole. This facilitates the positioning between through hole A and through hole B and prevents offset. Then, flange A and flange B are connected by locking bolts. The installation is simple and convenient, and the installation effect is good. Attached Figure Description
