Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrugated pipes, and specifically to a corrugated connecting pipe. Background Technology
[0002] In rigid piping systems, corrugated pipes serve as a buffer zone to absorb pipe connection problems caused by installation errors, temperature, and other factors. Traditionally, the flanges at both ends of corrugated pipes are connected by bolts or quick-release couplings (pipe clamps). Bolted connections are more cumbersome to install and remove, but offer higher connection strength. Quick-release couplings (pipe clamps) are easier to install and remove, but are often suitable for pipes with lower pressure ratings. Therefore, current corrugated pipe installations cannot simultaneously accommodate both connection methods, making it difficult to quickly select the installation method based on the actual installation situation (such as situations requiring frequent disassembly and reassembly, where quick-release couplings (pipe clamps) are more suitable), thus causing some installation difficulties. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a corrugated connecting pipe that can be fixed by bolts or connected by quick-release buckles (pipe clamps).
[0004] To address the above problems, the following technical solution is provided: A corrugated connecting pipe, comprising a corrugated pipe with connecting flanges at both ends, the corrugated pipe including a corrugated section, the corrugated section including several peak rings and valley rings, the lowest point of the valley ring at the end of the corrugated pipe extending axially to form a sleeve section; the connecting flange including a disc body and a connecting pipe located at one end of the disc body, the outer wall of the end of the connecting pipe away from the disc body having a sealing groove, the sealing groove having a sealing ring; the connecting pipe is inserted into the sleeve section and its end reaches the inner sidewall of the valley ring connected to the sleeve section, the end of the connecting pipe expands to form a flared mouth and abuts against the inner sidewall of the valley ring, the sealing ring sealingly fitting against the inner sidewall of the valley ring or the inner sidewall of the sleeve section; a blocking step is provided at the connection between the connecting pipe and the disc body, the end face of the sleeve section abuts against the blocking step; the disc body has several fixing holes evenly distributed along its axial direction, and a clamping slope is provided at the junction of the side of the disc body facing another disc body and the outer edge of the disc body.
[0005] In the above structure, during assembly, after the connecting pipe is inserted into the sleeve section, the end of the connecting pipe is turned outward to form a flared structure by an expansion device or a spinning device, and it abuts against the inner wall of the valley ring to prevent detachment. At the same time, the sealing ring is used for auxiliary sealing, achieving a weld-free connection. Meanwhile, the fixing hole can be installed with bolts, while the clamping bevel can be installed with quick-release buckles (pipe clamps). The two installation methods can be freely selected according to the actual installation occasion, which makes the installation more flexible.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the side of the disc body facing away from the other disc body is provided with an annular end face groove, and the rotation radius of the end face groove is smaller than the virtual rotation radius of the fixing hole from the center of the disc body.
[0007] In the above structure, the end face groove is used to install the sealing ring when the pipeline is connected; the gyration radius of the end face groove is smaller than the virtual gyration radius of the fixing hole from the center of the disc, which ensures that the bolt is located outside the sealing ring when fixed by bolts, thus avoiding leakage.
[0008] The present invention is further provided that the side of the disc body facing away from the other disc body is provided with an annular positioning ring that is convex or concave, and the annular positioning ring is concentrically arranged with the end face groove.
[0009] In the above structure, during installation, the pipe flange will be equipped with an end face positioning ring corresponding to the annular positioning ring to achieve accurate alignment. If the annular positioning ring of the connecting flange is convex, the end face positioning ring of the pipe flange is concave; if the annular positioning ring of the connecting flange is concave, the end face positioning ring of the pipe flange is convex.
[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the rotation radius of the annular positioning ring is the same as the virtual rotation radius of the fixing hole at the center of the disc.
[0011] In the above structure, the fixing hole is drilled through an annular positioning ring to avoid the offset arrangement caused by the two parts shifting, effectively ensuring the compactness of the outer diameter of the connecting flange.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the cross-section of the annular positioning ring is trapezoidal; when the annular positioning ring is convex outward, the short side of its trapezoidal cross-section is located in the convex direction, and when the annular positioning ring is concave inward, the short side of its trapezoidal cross-section is located in the concave direction.
[0013] In the above structure, the trapezoidal cross-section annular positioning ring facilitates rapid alignment.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the end face of the sleeve segment and the blocking step are welded together by a weld.

[0017] In the above structure, the countersunk section is used to accommodate the bolt head or nut.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the countersunk section is formed on the end face of the disc body and the clamping inclined surface.
[0019] In the above structure, the recessed countersunk section can prevent the bolt head or nut from only receiving partial support due to the presence of the clamping slope, thus avoiding affecting the installation.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the top of the peak ring and the bottom of the valley ring are arc-shaped.
[0021] In the above structure, the top of the peak ring and the bottom of the valley ring are preferably semi-circular.
[0022] The present invention is further configured such that both the corrugated pipe and the connecting flange are made of stainless steel.
[0023] The above structure effectively ensures its corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various occasions and for conveying various corrosive media.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During assembly, after the connecting pipe is inserted into the sleeve section, the end of the connecting pipe is turned outward to form a flared structure by an expansion device or a spinning device, and it abuts against the inner side wall of the valley ring to prevent detachment. At the same time, the sealing ring is used for auxiliary sealing, realizing a weld-free connection. Meanwhile, the fixing hole can be installed with bolts, while the clamping bevel can be installed with quick-release buckles (pipe clamps). The two installation methods can be freely selected according to the actual installation occasion, which makes the installation more flexible. Attached Figure Description

The connecting flange 20 includes a disc body 21 and a connecting pipe 22 located at one end of the disc body 21. The outer wall of the end of the connecting pipe 22 away from the disc body 21 is provided with a sealing groove 221, and a sealing ring 222 is provided in the sealing groove 221. The connecting pipe 22 is inserted into the sleeve section 111. The connecting pipe 22 extends to the inner wall of the valley ring 112 connected to the sleeve section 12. The end of the connecting pipe 22 expands to form a flared mouth 223 and abuts against the inner wall of the valley ring 112. The sealing ring 222 seals against the inner wall of the valley ring 112 or the inner wall of the sleeve section 12.

[0047] In the above structure, the recessed countersunk section 2112 can prevent the bolt head (not shown in the figure) or nut (not shown in the figure) from only receiving partial support due to the presence of the clamping inclined surface 212, thus affecting the installation.
[0048] In this embodiment, the top of the peak ring 111 and the bottom of the valley ring 112 are arc-shaped.
[0049] In the above structure, the top of the peak ring 111 and the bottom of the valley ring 112 are preferably semi-circular.
