[0004] The aforementioned patent can effectively improve the welding quality between the flange neck and the flange plate and enhance the connection strength. However, the installation of the necked flat welding flange plate generally uses multiple bolts and multiple nuts for connection and installation. This means that during the installation process, the mounting holes of the two flange plates need to be bolted one by one, which is time-consuming and laborious, and increases the difficulty of connecting the flange plates. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem mentioned in the above-mentioned patent, which can effectively improve the welding quality between the flange neck and the flange and enhance the connection strength. However, the installation of the necked flat welding flange generally uses multiple bolts and nuts for connection and installation. This requires that the mounting holes of the two flanges be bolted one by one during the installation process, which is time-consuming and laborious and increases the difficulty of connecting the flanges. Therefore, this utility model proposes an easy-to-install necked flat welding flange.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an easy-to-install necked flat-welding flange, comprising a first flange and a second flange, wherein the top of the first flange is symmetrically fixedly connected with positioning components, and the bottom of the second flange is uniformly fixedly connected with multiple limiting components.

[0007] The positioning component includes a movable sleeve, a positioning block is movably inserted into the inner surface of the movable sleeve, an installation groove is formed on the top of the positioning block, telescopic rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation groove, a limit block is fixedly connected between the tops of the two telescopic rods, a return spring is sleeved on the outer surface of each of the two telescopic rods, and a limit groove is formed on the top of the movable sleeve; the limiting component includes a limiting sleeve, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second flange.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the movable sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the first flange, and the outer surface of the limiting block mates with the inner surface of the limiting groove.

[0009] Preferably, a push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the limiting block, and the outer surface of the limiting block mates with the inner surface of the mounting groove.

[0010] Preferably, the inner surface of the limiting sleeve has two fixing grooves, and the inner surface of each of the two fixing grooves is fixedly connected with a movable rod.

[0011] Preferably, one end of each of the two movable rods is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped ball, and a fixing spring is sleeved on the outer surface of each of the two movable rods.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the limiting sleeve has a groove, and the outer surfaces of the two arc-shaped balls respectively mate with the inner surfaces of the two fixing grooves.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the second flange is symmetrically fixedly connected with positioning sleeves, and the inner surfaces of the two positioning sleeves are engaged with the outer surfaces of the two positioning blocks.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the first flange is provided with a plurality of first through holes evenly distributed, and the top of the second flange is provided with a plurality of second through holes evenly distributed.

[0015] Preferably, bolts are inserted into the inner surface of each of the first through holes, and the plurality of bolts respectively cooperate with the plurality of second through holes.

[0016] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the plurality of bolts are threaded with nuts, and the outer surfaces of the plurality of nuts mate with the inner surfaces of the plurality of limiting sleeves.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, after aligning the two positioning sleeves with the two positioning blocks, press the push rod downwards to move the two return springs and the telescopic rod downwards, causing the limiting block to separate from the limiting groove and move into the installation groove. Then, push the push rod inwards to move the two positioning blocks along the movable sleeve inwards until the two positioning blocks are inserted into the positioning sleeves on the second flange. Then, release the push rod. Under the force of the return springs and the telescopic rod, the limiting block is pushed out of the installation groove and engaged in the limiting groove, thus limiting and fixing the positioning block. This quickly completes the pre-installation of the first flange and the second flange, allowing the first through hole and the second through hole on the first flange and the second flange to be quickly aligned. Then, the bolts are inserted in sequence, and the nuts are tightened to quickly complete the installation of the first flange and the second flange.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, by aligning the nut with the limiting sleeve and pushing it downwards, the bottom of the nut applies a squeezing force to the arc surfaces of the two arc-shaped balls, causing the two arc-shaped balls to move into the fixing groove and compress the fixing spring and the movable rod. This pushes the nut completely into the limiting sleeve. Then, the arc-shaped balls lose external pressure and are pushed outwards by the fixing spring. The movable rod ensures the movement trajectory of the arc-shaped balls. Therefore, the nut is limited in the limiting sleeve by the two arc-shaped balls. Thus, when tightening the bolt and nut, no additional tools are needed to fix the nut, simplifying the installation steps. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0030] Example 1, as Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides an easy-to-install necked flat-welding flange, including a first flange 1 and a second flange 4. A positioning assembly 3 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the first flange 1, and multiple limiting assemblies 5 are uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom of the second flange 4. The positioning assembly 3 includes a movable sleeve 307, with a positioning block 301 movably inserted into the inner surface of the movable sleeve 307. An installation groove 304 is formed on the top of the positioning block 301, and telescopic rods 305 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the installation groove 304. A limiting block 303 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two telescopic rods 305, and a return spring 306 is sleeved on the outer surface of each of the two telescopic rods 305. A limiting groove 308 is formed on the top of the movable sleeve 307. The limiting assembly 5 includes a limiting sleeve 50. 1. The top of the limiting sleeve 501 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second flange 4, the bottom of the movable sleeve 307 is fixedly connected to the top of the first flange 1, the outer surface of the limiting block 303 matches the inner surface of the limiting groove 308, the top of the limiting block 303 is fixedly connected to the push rod 302, the outer surface of the limiting block 303 matches the inner surface of the mounting groove 304, the top of the first flange 1 is evenly provided with multiple first through holes 8, the top of the second flange 4 is evenly provided with multiple second through holes 9, the inner surface of each first through hole 8 is provided with a bolt 2, the multiple bolts 2 respectively match the multiple second through holes 9, the outer surface of each multiple bolt 2 is threaded with a nut 7, the outer surface of each multiple nut 7 matches the inner surface of each multiple limiting sleeve 501.

[0031] The overall effect of Embodiment 1 is as follows: when it is necessary to connect the first flange 1 and the second flange 4, after aligning the first flange 1 with the second flange 4, rotate the second flange 4 to align the two positioning sleeves 6 with the two positioning blocks 301, press down on the push rod 302, causing the two return springs 306 and the telescopic rod 305 to move downwards, so that the limiting block 303 separates from the limiting groove 308 and moves into the mounting groove 304. Then, push the push rod 302 inwards, causing the two positioning blocks 301 to move inwards along the movable sleeve 307 until the two positioning blocks 301 are inserted into the positioning sleeves 6 on the second flange 4. Then, release the push rod 302, and the return springs 306 and the telescopic rod 305 will move inwards. Under the action of the force, the limiting block 303 is pushed out of the mounting groove 304 and engaged in the limiting groove 308, which limits and fixes the positioning block 301, thereby quickly completing the pre-installation of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4, so that the first through hole 8 and the second through hole 9 on the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 are quickly aligned. Then, the bolts 2 are inserted in sequence, and then the nuts 7 are tightened to quickly complete the installation of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4. During the disassembly process, by rotating the bolts 2 to separate the bolts 2 from the nuts 7, the push rod 302 is installed downward and pushed outward to separate the positioning block 301 from the positioning sleeve 6, thereby facilitating the separation of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4.

[0032] Example 2, as Figures 1-7 As shown, the inner surface of the limiting sleeve 501 has two fixing grooves 503, and the inner surfaces of the two fixing grooves 503 are fixedly connected to movable rods 502. One end of each movable rod 502 is fixedly connected to an arc-shaped ball 504. The outer surfaces of the two movable rods 502 are fitted with fixing springs 505. The bottom of the limiting sleeve 501 has a slot 506. The outer surfaces of the two arc-shaped balls 504 respectively mate with the inner surfaces of the two fixing grooves 503. The bottom of the second flange 4 is symmetrically fixedly connected to positioning sleeves 6. The inner surfaces of the two positioning sleeves 6 mate with the outer surfaces of the two positioning blocks 301.

[0033] The effect achieved by the entire embodiment 2 is as follows: after the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 are pre-installed, by aligning the nut 7 with the limiting sleeve 501 and pushing it downwards, the bottom of the nut 7 applies a squeezing force to the arcuate surfaces of the two arcuate balls 504, causing the two arcuate balls 504 to move into the fixing groove 503 and compress the fixing spring 505 and the movable rod 502, thus completely pushing the nut 7 into the limiting sleeve 501. Then, the arcuate balls 504 lose external pressure and are pushed outwards by the action of the fixing spring 505, and the movable rod 502... The moving rod 502 ensures the movement trajectory of the arc ball 504. Therefore, the nut 7 is limited in the limiting sleeve 501 by the two arc balls 504. Thus, when tightening the bolt 2 and the nut 7, no additional tools are needed to fix the nut 7, which simplifies the installation steps and reduces the difficulty of operation. When the nut 7 needs to be replaced, an external tool can be inserted into the gap between the nut 7 and the second flange 4 through the slot 506, and then pushed upwards to make the top of the nut 7 apply pressure to the arc ball 504 and move it into the fixing slot 503, so that the nut 7 can be removed and replaced.

[0034] Working principle: When connecting the first flange 1 and the second flange 4, align the first flange 1 with the second flange 4, rotate the second flange 4 to align the two positioning sleeves 6 with the two positioning blocks 301, press down on the push rod 302, causing the two return springs 306 and the telescopic rod 305 to move downwards, so that the limiting block 303 separates from the limiting groove 308 and moves into the mounting groove 304. Then push the push rod 302 inwards, causing the two positioning blocks 301 to move inwards along the movable sleeve 307 until the two positioning blocks 301 are inserted into the positioning sleeves 6 on the second flange 4. Then release the push rod 302. Under the force of the return springs 306 and the telescopic rod 305, the limiting block 303 is pushed out of the mounting groove 304 and engaged in the limiting groove 308, thus limiting and fixing the positioning block 301. The pre-installation of the first flange 1 and the second flange 4 is completed quickly. Then, the nut 7 is aligned with the limiting sleeve 501 and pushed downwards. This causes the bottom of the nut 7 to exert a squeezing force on the arc surfaces of the two arc-shaped balls 504, which in turn moves the two arc-shaped balls 504 into the fixing groove 503 and compresses the fixing spring 505 and the movable rod 502. This pushes the nut 7 completely into the limiting sleeve 501. Then, the arc-shaped balls 504 lose external pressure and are pushed outwards by the fixing spring 505. The movable rod 502 ensures the movement trajectory of the arc-shaped balls 504. Therefore, the nut 7 is limited in the limiting sleeve 501 by the two arc-shaped balls 504. Thus, when tightening the bolt 2 and the nut 7, no additional tools are needed to fix the nut 7, simplifying the installation steps and reducing the difficulty of operation.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
