AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing bellows compensators lack an active mechanism to limit the shrinkage range, which may lead to excessive shrinkage when the temperature drops suddenly or the external pressure changes, causing local stress concentration, weld cracking or bellows rupture, especially under high-frequency vibration or extreme working conditions.

Method used

A novel bellows compensator was designed. By installing limiting sleeves and threaded rod structures at both ends of the bellows, the limiting sleeves limit the contraction end of the bellows, and the limiting position is adjusted by a buffer mechanism to avoid excessive contraction. Combined with the buffering effect of the hydraulic cylinder, the service life is extended.

Benefits of technology

This effectively avoids excessive shrinkage of the bellows, extends its service life, reduces the risk of local stress concentration and rupture, and improves the stability of the device.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of corrugated pipe compensator, specifically relates to a novel corrugated pipe compensator. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a key device for absorbing thermal expansion and contraction, vibration and displacement in pipeline systems, corrugated pipe compensators are widely used in the fields of petroleum and chemical industry, electric power, heat supply, etc. The core principle is to realize axial compensation through the elastic deformation of the corrugated pipe, thereby reducing the pipeline stress and prolonging the system life. However, the existing corrugated pipe compensators still have significant technical defects in practical application. The corrugated pipe structure of the existing corrugated pipe compensators usually relies on the elastic deformation of the material to realize expansion and contraction compensation, but lacks an active restriction mechanism for the contraction amplitude. When the pipeline produces excessive contraction due to sudden temperature drop or external pressure change, the corrugated pipe may be over-compressed due to exceeding the designed compensation amount, causing mutual extrusion between the wave crests and troughs or even plastic deformation, thereby causing local stress concentration, weld cracking or corrugated pipe rupture, especially under high-frequency vibration or extreme working conditions, such problems are more prominent.
