[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for a flexible hydraulic joint device for the neck of an aluminum-lined carbon fiber wound gas cylinder:
[0021] The device includes a connecting rod 1. A protrusion 5 is movably installed on the outer side of the connecting rod 1 in a symmetrical structure. A flexible connector 8 is snapped onto the outer side of the top of the connecting rod 1. A sleeve 2 is snapped onto the outer side of the flexible connector 8. The protrusion 5 movably passes through the flexible connector 8 and the sleeve 2. A second connecting block 12 is threadedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 1. A detection block 4 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the top of the second connecting block 12. A cavity 7 is opened inside the detection block 4 and filled with filler. Multiple sets of openings 9 are opened inside the detection block 4. An arc-shaped guide head 11 is set on the outer side of the bottom of the connecting rod 1 at the threaded connection part. A sealing mesh is fixedly connected inside the opening 9. A first connecting block 3 is threadedly connected above the detection block 4.
[0022] Specific, the connecting rod 1 through the bottom of the arc guide head 11, the connecting rod 1 can be smoothly guided into the aluminum thread pilot portion, for the incomplete centering cylinder, can realize the trace correction, ensure the accurate connection of the subsequent connecting rod 1 thread and bottle mouth aluminum thread, the guide head can guide the connecting rod 1 to be accurately screwed in during installation, the protrusion 5 on the outside of the connecting rod 1 can provide a force point during installation, facilitate operation, after installation, the flexible connecting piece 8 is buckled on the top outside of the connecting rod 1, and the clamp sleeve 2 is buckled on the outside of the flexible connecting piece 8, the protrusion 5 penetrates the two, plays a fixing and limiting role, at the same time, the first connecting block 3 is threadedly connected above the detection block 4, and the second connecting block 12 is threadedly connected at the top of the connecting rod 1, used for fixing the detection block 4, when the water pressure test is carried out, if leakage occurs at the joint, water will enter the cavity 7 through the opening 9 in the inside of the detection block 4, since the opening 9 is fixedly connected with a sealing net, the leakage of the filler can be prevented, and the water enters the cavity 7 and contacts the filler, so that the filler changes color when water is encountered, thereby indicating that leakage occurs, the flexible connecting piece 8 and the clamp sleeve 2 cooperate, and the flexible characteristics of the flexible connecting piece are utilized, the elastic force and torque of the human hand can be simulated, the deviation of the connecting rod 1 and the aluminum thread of the bottle mouth during installation 8 can be effectively buffered, and since the split design is adopted, the connecting rod 1 can be replaced after being worn, which is beneficial to the rational utilization of resources.
[0023] The detection block 4 is made of transparent plastic material, and the filler is cobalt salt; the clamp sleeve 2 and the connecting rod 1 are made of stainless steel material; and the flexible connecting piece 8 is made of plastic printing material.
[0024] Specifically, the detection block 4 made of transparent plastic material can enable an operator to directly observe the color change of the internal filler, so that whether leakage occurs can be rapidly judged without disassembling the joint device, and the detection efficiency is greatly improved, and the accuracy of the water pressure test is prevented from being affected due to the fact that leakage is not found in time; cobalt salt, as a commonly used color-changing material, has obvious and sensitive color-changing characteristics; anhydrous cobalt salt is usually blue, and will quickly change to pink after being contacted with water; the color change can enable an operator to perceive the leakage in the first time, and timely measures can be taken; stainless steel has high strength and hardness, can withstand the pressure and impact force in the water pressure test process, is not easy to deform or be damaged, and prolongs the service life of the joint device; in the water pressure test environment, water and other possible chemical substances can corrode the joint device; the good corrosion resistance of stainless steel ensures that the clamp sleeve 2 and the connecting rod 1 will not be corroded in the long-term use process, and the sealing performance and structural stability of the joint device are ensured.
[0025] The working principle of the utility model is:
[0026] Firstly, the connecting rod 1 passes through the arc-shaped guide head 11 at the bottom, which can smoothly guide the connecting rod 1 to rotate into the leading part of the aluminum thread when connected with the cylinder mouth, and can also realize slight deviation correction for the cylinder not completely centered, ensuring the accurate connection of the subsequent connecting rod 1 thread with the cylinder mouth aluminum thread. The symmetrical protrusions 5 on the outside of the connecting rod 1 provide a force point for installation, facilitating operation. After installation is completed, the flexible connecting piece 8 is buckled on the top outside of the connecting rod 1, and the clamp sleeve 2 is buckled on the outside of the flexible connecting piece 8, and the protrusions 5 penetrate both of them, playing a fixing and limiting role. At the same time, the first connecting block 3 is threadedly connected above the detection block 4, and the second connecting block 12 is threadedly connected at the top of the connecting rod 1, completing the fixation of the detection block 4.
[0027] Secondly, when water is injected into the cylinder for water pressure test, if leakage occurs at the joint, water will enter the cavity 7 through the opening 9 on the inside of the detection block 4. Since the opening 9 is fixedly connected with a sealing net, it can prevent the filler from leaking out. After the water enters, it contacts with the cobalt salt filler filled in the cavity 7, and the cobalt salt rapidly changes from blue to pink when it meets water, thereby indicating the occurrence of leakage.
[0028] Finally, the flexible connecting piece 8 can simulate the elasticity and torque of human hand by utilizing its own flexible characteristics, effectively buffering the deviation of the connecting rod 1 and the cylinder mouth aluminum thread during installation, and improving the stability of the connection. In addition, since the device adopts a split design, when the connecting rod 1 is worn out, only the connecting rod 1 needs to be replaced, which is conducive to the rational use of resources. Moreover, the transparent plastic material of the detection block 4 facilitates the direct observation of the color change of the filler by the operator, and the leakage condition can be quickly judged without disassembling the joint device, improving the detection efficiency. The stainless steel material used for the clamp sleeve 2 and the connecting rod 1 has high strength, high hardness and good corrosion resistance, ensuring the structural stability and sealing performance of the joint device during water pressure test, and prolonging the service life.
[0029] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present patent in detail, but the present patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present patent.
