[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a hydraulic system steel pipe joint connection structure, including a steel pipe joint 1, a locking nut 2, a bushing 3, and a steel pipe 4. The left side of the steel pipe joint 1 is used for connection with hydraulic equipment, and its right side is provided with a mounting hole 101 for inserting the steel pipe 4. A stop structure 102 for limiting the steel pipe 4 is provided in the mounting hole 101. The outer peripheral surface of its right side is provided with an external thread for connecting the locking nut 2. The bushing 3 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the steel pipe 4 and located on the outer edge of the steel pipe 4. On the right side of the forming part 401, the locking nut 2 is fitted onto the outside of the steel pipe 4. The inner circumferential surface on its left side is provided with an internal thread for engaging with the external thread of the steel pipe joint 1. The right side is provided with a limiting structure 201 for engaging with the forming part 401 of the steel pipe 4. The locking nut 2 is moved along the axial direction of the steel pipe 4 toward the steel pipe joint 1, so that the limiting structure 201 of the locking nut 2 is engaged with the bushing 3, and then the locking nut 2 is locked by engaging with the external thread of the steel pipe joint 1 through the internal thread of the locking nut 2.
[0026] A primary inclined surface 301 is provided at the mating surface between the bushing 3 and the locking nut 2. The wedge-shaped clamping force of the primary inclined surface 301 achieves the locking of the locking nut 2 with the bushing 3 and the steel pipe 4. Furthermore, a secondary shoulder 302 is also provided at the mating surface between the bushing 3 and the locking nut 2. The secondary shoulder 302 is located to the left of the primary inclined surface 301, and the cone angle of the secondary shoulder 302 is larger than that of the primary inclined surface 301. The secondary shoulder 302 limits the locking nut 2. The primary inclined surface 301 enhances the contact force between the bushing 3 and the formed part 401 of the steel pipe 4 during the locking process. After the nut is locked in place, it fits tightly against the large-tapered secondary shoulder 302, enhancing the overall sealing performance.
[0027] The bushing 3 has an opening 303 on its side for easy installation and replacement, allowing for regular inspection and replacement of the bushing 3 to prevent breakage of the steel pipe 4. When the locking nut 2 is loosened and removed, the bushing 3 can be opened along the side opening 303 and taken out directly. The new bushing 3 can be inserted in the same way, saving time and effort.
[0028] The bushing 3 mentioned above can be made of metal (such as copper or iron), alloy (such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel) or resin.
[0029] A sealing ring 5 is sleeved on the steel pipe 4 and is located between the steel pipe joint 1 and the formed part 401 of the steel pipe 4.
[0030] The formed part 401 of the steel pipe 4 is weak after deformation and is prone to breakage after vibration, and the length and effective thickness of the bushing 3 can be increased to further improve the deformation resistance of the bushing 3, and the stress concentration position of the formed joint root is transferred and shared to the rear straight section position of the steel pipe 4 under the pre-tightening force of the locking nut 2.
[0031] The installation method of the steel pipe formed joint structure is as follows:
[0032] 1. Directly tighten one end of the steel pipe joint to a certain hydraulic equipment.
[0033] 2. The sealing element is sleeved into the formed part of the formed steel pipe from the left side.
[0034] 3. The locking nut is retreated to the right end of the steel pipe, and then the bushing is sleeved into the steel pipe from the right side after being expanded along the lateral opening, and is pushed to the left side to be attached to the formed part of the steel pipe.
[0035] 4. The steel pipe is inserted into the steel pipe joint together with the sealing element until the end of the steel pipe abuts against the internal stop structure of the steel pipe joint.
[0036] 5. The locking nut is clamped into the bushing and connected and locked with the threads on the steel pipe joint.
[0037] The utility model discloses a one-level inclined plane and two-level shaft shoulder design, in the locking nut thread and steel pipe joint thread spin in the fastening process, one-level inclined plane wedge clamping force, gradually bushing and steel pipe clamping, and with self-locking performance, prevent nut loosening under the vibration environment.
[0038] When the locking nut is further screwed in, the one-level inclined plane has been fastened to a certain extent, and the two-level shaft shoulder plays a limiting role at this time. Since the taper angle of the two-level shaft shoulder is much larger than that of the one-level inclined plane, when the locking nut is rotated to a reasonable torque, the formed part of the steel pipe, the bushing and the seal are all closely attached to and compressed against the steel pipe joint, and the whole pipeline sealing is completed.
[0039] When the steel pipe is regularly maintained, the locking nut is loosened and retreated, the bushing is expanded along the opening thereof and taken out, and a new bushing is replaced, and finally the locking nut is fastened again.
[0040] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present utility model patent, but the protection scope of the present utility model patent is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art, within the scope disclosed by the present utility model patent, can make equivalent replacements or changes to the technical scheme and the utility model patent concept of the present utility model patent, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the present utility model patent.
