[0024] The embodiment provides a pumping type pipeline connecting assembly, such as Figure 1As shown, it comprises a first connecting piece 1, one side of which is used to connect a first pipeline 2, and the other side is used to connect a second connecting piece 3; a first annular groove 101, a second annular groove 102 and a third annular groove 103 are arranged on the side wall of the first connecting piece 1 used to connect the second connecting piece 3, the first annular groove 101 is located outside the second annular groove 102, the third annular groove 103 is located inside the second annular groove 102, a first sealing piece 4 is arranged in the second annular groove 102, a first memory alloy ring 5 is arranged in the first annular groove 101, and a second memory alloy ring 6 is arranged in the third annular groove 103.

[0025] By reference, the first annular groove 101 is provided with the first memory alloy ring 5, which is made of nickel-titanium alloy material, and the shape memory transition temperature range is 0-80℃, so that the shape change can be quickly and stably realized within the common temperature fluctuation range of the pipeline, and the third annular groove 103 is provided with the second memory alloy ring 6, which is also made of nickel-titanium alloy material, and the shape memory transition temperature range is the same as that of the first memory alloy ring 5.

[0026] By reference, the first annular groove 101 is provided with the first memory alloy ring 5, which is made of nickel-titanium alloy material, and the shape memory transition temperature range is 0-80℃, so that the shape change can be quickly and stably realized within the common temperature fluctuation range of the pipeline, and the third annular groove 103 is provided with the second memory alloy ring 6, which is also made of nickel-titanium alloy material, and the shape memory transition temperature range is the same as that of the first memory alloy ring 5.

[0027] In order to prevent displacement of the memory alloy ring due to factors such as medium flow and vibration during pipeline operation, so as to accurately generate extrusion force on the annular groove wall, and further affect the pressure regulation and sealing effect of the first sealing piece 4. In one possible implementation, the inner diameter of the first memory alloy ring 5 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first annular groove 101, and it is sleeved into the first annular groove 101 after expansion by a tool. The inner diameter of the second memory alloy ring 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the third annular groove 103, and it is sleeved into the third annular groove 103 after expansion by a tool. The smaller inner diameter makes the memory alloy ring tightly fit the groove wall after being sleeved into the annular groove by the tool expansion, providing sufficient friction force to prevent displacement and ensure stable position during operation.

[0028] In the specific application process, when the temperature of the medium in the pumping pipeline rises, the second memory alloy ring 6 in the third annular groove 103 begins to expand due to heating, which will generate an outward extrusion force on the groove wall of the third annular groove 103. Because the first connecting piece 1 is a whole structure, this extrusion force will be transmitted to the second annular groove 102 through the groove wall of the third annular groove 103. As the second memory alloy ring 6 continues to expand, the extrusion force applied to the first sealing piece 4 (i.e. the graphene coating sealing ring) gradually increases, so that the first sealing piece 4 is tightly fitted with the groove wall of the second annular groove 102. The tight fitting of the first sealing piece 4 with the groove wall and the surface of the connecting piece effectively fills the small gap caused by the thermal expansion of the pipeline, thereby ensuring good sealing effect.

[0029] When the temperature of the medium in the pumping pipeline decreases, the first memory alloy ring 5 in the first annular groove 101 begins to shrink. During the shrinking process, it will generate an inward pulling force on the groove wall of the first annular groove 101, which will be transmitted to the second annular groove 102 through the groove wall of the first annular groove 101 and act on the first sealing piece 4. As the first memory alloy ring 5 continues to shrink, the extrusion force applied to the first sealing piece 4 gradually increases, further pushing the first sealing piece 4 to be tightly fitted with the groove wall of the second annular groove 102 and the surface of the abutting second connecting piece 3. When the temperature decreases, the pipeline will generate small gaps due to cold shrinkage, and the tighter fitting of the first sealing piece 4 with the groove wall and the surface of the connecting piece can effectively compensate for these gaps, thereby ensuring good sealing effect.

[0030] In a possible implementation manner, as shown in Figure 2 the other side of the second connecting piece 3 is connected with a valve 9, and the other side of the valve 9 is used to connect a second pipeline 10.

[0031] For reference, one side of the first connecting piece 1 is connected with the first pipeline 2 by welding, and the other side of the second connecting piece 3 is connected with the valve 9 by flange connection, and a sealing gasket is arranged at the flange connection position to further ensure the sealing performance. The valve 9 is a ball valve with strong corrosion resistance, which can effectively control the flow and on-off of the chemical raw materials. The other side of the valve 9 is also connected with the second pipeline 10 by flange connection. The bolts pass through the corresponding bolt holes of the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 3 to tightly connect them.

[0032] In a possible implementation manner, as shown in Figure 3 the side wall of the second connecting piece 3 used to connect the first connecting piece 1 is provided with a first protruding ring 301 and a second protruding ring 302, the first protruding ring 301 is used to be embedded in the first annular groove 101, and the second protruding ring 302 is used to be embedded in the third annular groove 103.

[0033] In the specific application process, after the first connecting piece 1 and the second connecting piece 3 are connected, the first protruding ring 301 is embedded into the first annular groove 101 to limit the first memory alloy, and the second protruding ring 302 is embedded into the third annular groove 103 to limit the second memory alloy, so as to prevent the memory alloy from being separated from the annular groove during the pipeline operation.

[0034] In a possible implementation, as shown in the figure, the first protruding ring 301 is provided with a fourth annular groove 303, and the fourth annular groove 303 is provided with a second sealing piece 7, which is used to abut against the first memory alloy ring 5. The second protruding ring 302 is provided with a fifth annular groove 304, and the fifth annular groove 304 is provided with a third sealing piece 8, which is used to abut against the second memory alloy ring 6. Figure 4

[0035] For reference, the second sealing piece 7 abuts against the first memory alloy ring 5, and the third sealing piece 8 abuts against the second memory alloy ring 6, so as to form an additional sealing layer. During the pipeline operation, even if the first sealing piece 4 (graphene coating sealing ring) has a slight leakage, the second sealing piece 7 and the third sealing piece 8 can effectively prevent further leakage of the medium, thereby improving the sealing performance of the entire connecting assembly. The second sealing piece 7 and the third sealing piece 8 can be fluorine rubber sealing rings.

[0036] The above-described embodiments only express the specific implementation of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which belong to the protection scope of the present application.​
