Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water conservancy and hydropower engineering technology, and specifically relates to a pipeline sealing device for water conservancy and hydropower engineering. Background Technology

[0002] During water conservancy and hydropower construction, it is necessary to seal and fix two sections of pipeline together. Flanges are installed at the ends of the pipelines, and during construction, the flanges between the two sections of pipeline are assembled and fixed together using bolts and nuts.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN222085412U, a quick-connect sealing assembly for leaking pipelines is disclosed. The pipeline end is provided with a connecting platform (flange). During construction, the connecting platforms at the ends of the two pipelines are assembled and fixed by fastening bolts and nuts, and a sealing gasket is placed between the ends of the two pipelines to improve the sealing performance. However, this sealing device requires a cross-shaped tightening method during construction, which is cumbersome and makes it difficult to ensure that the tightening force of each fastening bolt is uniform, which can easily cause leakage during use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a pipe sealing device for water conservancy and hydropower projects that is easy to install, has consistent tightening force between pipes, and ensures tight sealing to solve the current technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pipe sealing device for water conservancy and hydropower projects that is easy to install, provides consistent tightening force between pipes, and ensures tight sealing.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a pipeline sealing device for water conservancy and hydropower projects, comprising two abutting pipelines, with flanges at the ends of the pipelines, and end sealing rings between the two flanges. An upper connecting sleeve and a lower connecting sleeve are fitted on the outer side of the flanges. One end of the upper connecting sleeve is hinged to one end of the lower connecting sleeve, and the other end of the upper connecting sleeve is connected to the other end of the lower connecting sleeve through a detachable connecting mechanism. Both the upper and lower connecting sleeves have locking grooves inside. The sum of the thickness of the two flanges and the original thickness of the end sealing ring is not less than the internal width of the locking groove.

[0007] The detachable connecting mechanism has an upper support at the end of the upper connecting sleeve and a lower support at the end of the lower connecting sleeve. An upper rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the upper support, and a lower rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the lower support. A connecting stud is fixedly mounted on one side of the upper rotating shaft along its axial direction. A connecting hole matching the connecting stud is opened on the lower rotating shaft. A boss is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the lower rotating shaft concentrically with the connecting hole. A fixing nut is fitted to the end of the connecting stud.

[0008] The locking groove has an inclined surface at one end near the pipe.

[0009] The outer side of the pipe is fitted with a beveled sealing ring that matches the beveled surface. The cross-section of the beveled sealing ring is an isosceles right triangle.

[0010] The flange has flange holes, and positioning posts corresponding to the flange holes are provided on both sides of the end sealing ring. The positioning posts and the end sealing ring are an integral structure.

[0011] Both the upper and lower connecting sleeves are semi-circular arc-shaped plates that match the outer side of the pipe, and the locking groove is located in the middle of the semi-circular arc-shaped plate.

[0012] The sum of the thickness of the two flanges and the original thickness of the end sealing ring is 5-20% larger than the inner width of the locking groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) In this utility model, after the end sealing ring is installed between the ends of the two pipes, the connecting sleeve and the lower connecting sleeve are fitted on the outside of the flange. Then, the ends of the upper connecting sleeve and the lower connecting sleeve are fixedly connected by a detachable connecting mechanism. The locking groove squeezes the two flanges close together, and the end sealing ring deforms and abuts against the two ends of the pipe, ensuring the tightness of the seal between the ends of the pipe.

[0015] (2) The inner width of the locking groove is consistent, the compression of the end sealing ring is consistent, the end sealing ring is subjected to uniform force, and the fastening force between the pipes is consistent, which further ensures the tightness of the seal.

[0016] (3) During installation, simply align the two pipes, then put the upper and lower connecting sleeves on the outside of the pipes, and connect and fix the ends of the upper and lower connecting sleeves through a detachable connecting mechanism, which is convenient for installation.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the pipeline sealing device for a water conservancy and hydropower project includes two abutting pipes 1. Flanges 11 are provided at the ends of the pipes 1, and end sealing rings 5 ​​are provided between the two flanges 11. An upper connecting sleeve 2 and a lower connecting sleeve 3 are fitted onto the outer side of the flanges 11. One end of the upper connecting sleeve 2 is hinged to one end of the lower connecting sleeve 3, and the other end of the upper connecting sleeve 2 is connected to the other end of the lower connecting sleeve 3 via a detachable connecting mechanism 4. Locking grooves 21 are provided inside both the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3. The sum of the thickness of the two flanges 11 and the original thickness of the end sealing ring 5 is not less than the internal width of the locking groove 21. In this embodiment, after the end sealing ring 5 is installed between the ends of the two pipes 1, an upper connecting sleeve 2 and a lower connecting sleeve 3 are fitted onto the outer side of the flanges 11. The upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 are connected together, and then the ends of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 are fixedly connected by a detachable connecting mechanism 4. The locking groove 21 squeezes the two flanges 11 closer together, and the end sealing ring 5 deforms and abuts against the two ends of the pipe 1, ensuring the tightness of the seal between the ends of the pipe 1. The inner width of the locking groove 21 is consistent, the compression of the end sealing ring 5 is consistent, the end sealing ring 5 is subjected to uniform force, and the fastening force between the pipes 1 is consistent, further ensuring the tightness of the seal. During installation, simply align the two pipes 1, then put the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 on the outside of the pipe 1, and connect and fix the ends of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 by the detachable connecting mechanism 4, which is convenient for installation.

[0025] In some embodiments, as a specific implementation of the detachable connecting mechanism 4, the detachable connecting mechanism 4 has an upper support 41 disposed at the end of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and a lower support 42 disposed at the end of the lower connecting sleeve 3. An upper rotating shaft 43 is rotatably disposed on the upper support 41, and a lower rotating shaft 44 is rotatably disposed on the lower support 42. A connecting stud 45 is fixedly disposed on one side of the upper rotating shaft 43 along its axial direction. A connecting hole 441 matching the connecting stud 45 is opened on the lower rotating shaft 44. A boss 442 is fixedly disposed concentrically with the connecting hole 441 at the bottom of the lower rotating shaft 44. The end of the connecting stud 45 is... When the ends of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 are connected, the end of the connecting bolt 45 passes through the connecting hole 441, and then the fixing nut 46 is installed at the end of the connecting stud 45. The fixing nut 46 is screwed on, and the connecting stud 45 is continuously pulled inside the connecting hole 441 to pull the ends of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 to abut against each other. Then, a nut can be installed on the end of the connecting stud 45 to lock it. During the process of pulling the ends of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3, the two flanges 11 are gradually embedded into the interior of the locking groove 21 to achieve fixation.

[0026] In some embodiments, a bevel 211 is provided at one end of the locking groove 21 near the pipe. During the process of pulling the ends of the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3, the two flanges 11 continuously approach and squeeze the end sealing ring 5 through the sliding guide effect of the bevel 211 until the two flanges 11 are completely embedded in the locking groove 21, thereby achieving the fixation between the two pipes 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, a beveled sealing ring 6 matching the beveled surface 211 is fitted on the outside of the pipe 1. The cross section of the beveled sealing ring 6 is an isosceles right triangle. The two flanges 11 are fully embedded in the locking groove 21. The beveled surface 211 abuts against the beveled sealing ring 6, further improving the tightness of the seal between the two pipes 1.

[0028] In some embodiments, the flange 11 has a flange hole 12, and both sides of the end sealing ring 5 are provided with positioning posts 51 corresponding to the flange hole 12. The positioning posts 51 and the end sealing ring 5 are integral structures. The end sealing ring 5 cooperates with the flange hole 12 through the positioning posts 51 to realize the positioning between the end sealing ring 5 and the flange 11, so as to avoid the end sealing ring 5 from shifting during installation and affecting the installation process, or even affecting the sealing effect.

[0029] In some embodiments, the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 are both semi-circular arc plates that match the outer side of the pipe 1. After the upper connecting sleeve 2 and the lower connecting sleeve 3 are fixedly fitted on the outer side of the two pipes 1, they can limit the two pipes 1 and prevent the pipes 1 from shifting. The locking groove 21 is provided in the middle of the semi-circular arc plate.

[0030] In some embodiments, the sum of the thickness of the two flanges 11 and the original thickness of the end sealing ring 5 is 5 to 20% greater than the inner width of the locking groove 21; preferably, the sum of the thickness of the two flanges 11 and the original thickness of the end sealing ring 5 is 10% greater than the inner width of the locking groove 21.
