[0002] Large flanges refer to flanges that exceed the dimensions specified by relevant national departments, generally referring to flanges with a diameter of DN2000 or larger. These products are all welded and do not have threads. Threaded flanges are commonly used in sizes from DN15 to DN100. In the national flange standard GB / T9119-2010, the largest size in the pressure standard from 0.25MPa to 1.6MPa is DN2000, and in the pressure standard of 2.5MPa, the largest is DN800. The production of these flanges requires the construction party to provide drawings. There are three production processes: forging, rolling, and splicing. For products with excessively large dimensions, only rolling and splicing processes can be used. The manufacturing area is mostly in the Xinman Industrial Zone of Mengcun Hui Autonomous County, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province. Large flanges are installed at both ends of the pipeline and need to be positioned before installation to align the flange holes of the double-end flanges.

[0003] The existing large flanges are installed at both ends of the pipeline, requiring workers to manually and visually determine their position, which is inefficient and inaccurate. Utility Model Content

The flange disclosed in this utility model can quickly position the first flange and the second flange at both ends of the pipe by means of a scale ring on the back of the flange and arrows installed at both ends of the outer side wall of the pipe. The position of the first flange and the second flange can be checked by a laser pointer and a mirror with a positioning ring sprayed at the center, which are respectively slidably installed on the back of the first flange and the second flange, to check whether the installation is skewed. Moreover, the laser pointer and the mirror with the positioning ring sprayed at the center can be removed and recycled, saving costs and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flange for easy positioning, comprising a pipe, with arrows installed at both ends of the outer wall of the pipe, the arrows being located at both ends of the same vertical line, a first flange and a second flange respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the outer wall of the pipe, a scale ring installed on the back of both the first flange and the second flange, a mirror surface installed on the back of the first flange via a first sliding component, a positioning ring being sprayed at the center of the mirror surface, and a laser pointer installed on the corresponding position on the back of the second flange via a second sliding component.

[0006] Preferably, the tip of the arrow faces the scale ring.

[0007] Preferably, the first sliding assembly includes a first slide block welded to the back of a first flange, a first slider slidably connected inside the first slide block, and a mirror fixedly installed at the bottom of the first slider.

[0008] Preferably, the second sliding assembly includes a second slide block welded to the back of the second flange, a second slider slidably connected inside the second slide block, and a laser pointer fixedly mounted on the top of the second slider.

[0009] Preferably, the slots inside the first slide and the second slide are both T-shaped, and the cross-sections of the first slider and the second slider are both T-shaped.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The flange disclosed in this utility model, which facilitates positioning, uses a graduated ring on the back of the flange and arrows installed at both ends of the outer wall of the pipe to quickly locate the first and second flanges at both ends of the pipe. A laser pointer and a mirror with a positioning ring sprayed at the center, respectively, are slidably installed on the back of the first and second flanges to verify their positions and check for misalignment. Furthermore, the laser pointer and the mirror with the positioning ring can be disassembled and reused, saving costs. This invention solves the problem of low positioning efficiency and accuracy in existing large flange installations at both ends of pipes, which require manual and visual judgment by workers.
