[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tubular structure, including a tube body 1 and a bushing 2. The bushing 2 is capable of elastic deformation. The bushing 2 is sleeved on the outside of the tube body 1. Both ends of the bushing 2 are provided with flanges 21 that are folded to the inner peripheral wall of the tube body 1.
[0039] The tubular structure of the embodiment can be used to transport gas or liquid. In use, the two ends of the tubular structure are respectively inserted into two pipelines, so that the two pipelines are connected through the tubular structure, at this time, the bushing 2 is clamped between the inner circumferential wall of the pipeline and the outer circumferential wall of the pipe body 1 to achieve sealing. The provision of the flange 21 not only avoids the impact of fluid on the joint of the bushing 2 and the pipe body 1, but also avoids the impact of the pipeline on the joint of the bushing 2 and the pipe body 1 when the pipeline is inserted into the tubular structure, thereby avoiding the separation of the bushing 2 and the pipe body 1, so as to ensure the protection and sealing effect of the bushing 2 on the pipe body 1.
[0040] The bushing 2 is sleeved on the outside of the pipe body 1, and can also protect the pipe body 1 through the bushing 2 to avoid corrosion and damage of the external environment to the pipe body 1, thereby prolonging the service life of the pipe body 1.
[0041] It should be noted that due to manufacturing and assembly errors, after the pipeline is assembled, the two pipelines may not be concentric. The tubular structure of the embodiment can connect two different concentric pipelines, and the bushing 2 can also decouple the manufacturing and assembly errors.
[0042] It can be understood that the length of the tubular structure in the axial direction can be small so that the tubular structure is used as a pipe joint, or the length of the tubular structure in the axial direction can be large so that the tubular structure is used as a normal pipeline.
[0043] In some embodiments, the tubular structure includes a first pipe segment and a second pipe segment connected to the first pipe segment, and the axis of the first pipe segment coincides with the axis of the second pipe segment, that is, the tubular structure is a straight pipe structure. In other embodiments, the axis of the first pipe segment can also be arranged at an angle to the axis of the second pipe segment, that is, the tubular structure is a bend structure, thereby realizing the turning of the pipeline and meeting various needs.
[0044] In some embodiments, the inner circumferential wall of the pipe body 1 is provided with a groove 11, and the flange 21 folded to the inner circumferential wall of the pipe body 1 is arranged in the groove 11, thereby avoiding the flange 21 from excessively protruding from the inner circumferential wall of the pipe body 1, reducing the force exerted by the fluid on the flange 21, and facilitating the prevention of the flange 21 from peeling off from the pipe body 1.
[0045] In some embodiments, the flange 21 includes a bending portion 211 and a folding portion 212, the bending portion 211 abuts against the end face of one end of the pipe body 1, and the folding portion 212 and the bushing 2 are respectively connected to the two ends of the bending portion 211; in the radial direction of the pipe body 1, the thickness of the folding portion 212 is d1, and the depth of the groove 11 is H, d1≤H, thereby further reducing the force exerted by the fluid on the flange 21 and preventing the flange 21 from peeling off from the pipe body 1.
[0046] In some embodiments, the thickness of the bending portion 211 is d2, the distance between the edge folding portion 212 and the bending portion 211 is L, and d2 < L, so that the contact area between the edge folding portion 21 and the pipe body 1 is increased, and the connection stability between the edge folding portion 21 and the pipe body 1 is improved.
[0047] In some embodiments, the thickness of the edge folding portion 21 is less than the thickness of the bushing 2, so that the edge folding portion 21 is closely attached to the pipe body 1, and the edge folding portion 21 is prevented from being raised.
[0048] Specifically, d1 = d2, that is, the thickness of the edge folding portion 21 at different positions is the same. In this way, on the one hand, the process is good, and the edge folding portion 21 is easy to form, and on the other hand, the edge folding portion 21 is prevented from being raised, and the connection stability between the edge folding portion 21 and the pipe body 1 is improved.
[0049] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the bushing 2 is provided with a protrusion 22 extending along the circumference of the bushing 2 and connected end to end. When the pipe body 1 is inserted into the pipeline, the inner peripheral wall of the pipeline can be tightly pressed by the protrusion 22, and the sealing effect is improved.
[0050] In some embodiments, the protrusion 22 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 22, and the plurality of protrusions 22 are arranged in sequence along the axis of the bushing 2. The plurality of protrusions 22 achieve multi-stage sealing, and the sealing effect is better.
[0051] In some embodiments, the plurality of protrusions 22 include a first protrusion and a second protrusion, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion are respectively located at both ends of the axis of the bushing 2. When the pipe body 1 is connected to two pipelines, the pipe body 1 is sealed with the two pipelines.
[0052] In some embodiments, the inside of the protrusion 22 is provided with a cavity extending along the protrusion 22 and connected end to end. In this way, the protrusion 22 is deformed to achieve sealing, which is easy to assemble and has a better sealing effect.
[0053] It should be noted that the edge folding portion 21 and the protrusion 22 are integrally formed on the bushing 2, and the edge folding portion 21, the protrusion 22 and the bushing 2 are made of the same material.
[0054] Specifically, the bushing 2 is made of rubber. For example, the rubber is integrally formed on the pipe body 1 by vulcanization process, that is, the bushing 2 is attached to the surface of the pipe body 1, so that the connection stability between the bushing 2 and the pipe body 1 is improved, and the bushing 2 is prevented from being peeled off from the pipe body 1.
[0055] Specifically, the pipe body 1 is made of metal, and has a long service life.
