Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pneumatic conveying pipeline technology, and in particular to a novel pneumatic conveying four-way pipe. Background Technology
[0002] A four-way pipe is a fitting or connector for pipes and pipelines. It is mainly used to connect pipe joints, enabling pipes to communicate with each other and facilitating the distribution and transportation of media. Its end has a flange that connects to the pipe, and the flanges are connected by bolts.
[0003] When conveying coal ash powder or granular dust, the powder rubs against the inner wall of the four-way pipe at a high flow rate, which can easily damage the inner wall and affect its service life. Furthermore, the powder impacts the center of the four-way pipe when turning, causing it to vibrate. Since the flanges of the four-way pipe and the pipe are mostly directly connected by bolts in the current technology, long-term vibration can cause the two flanges to loosen and create gaps, reducing the sealing performance between the four-way pipe and the pipe. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to improve the problem of gaps easily generated between the four-way pipe and the pipeline due to the impact force of powder, and to improve the wear resistance of the four-way pipe to ensure its service life, this application provides a new type of pneumatic conveying four-way pipe.

[0021] This application discloses a novel pneumatic conveying four-way pipe. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The novel pneumatic conveying four-way pipe includes a four-way pipe 1 and a connecting pipe 2. The four-way pipe 1 includes a spherical pipe 11 and a conveying pipe 12. The inner walls of the spherical pipe 11 and the inner walls of the conveying pipe 12 are coated with a tungsten alloy layer with a thickness of 4-6 mm. By coating the inside of the spherical pipe 11 and the conveying pipe 12 with a tungsten alloy layer, the hardness, wear resistance and high temperature resistance of the inner wall of the four-way pipe 1 are improved, the wear on the inner wall of the four-way pipe 1 during powder conveying is reduced, and the service life of the four-way pipe 1 is guaranteed. The spherical pipe 11 has connecting holes located in four directions. One end of the conveying pipe 12 is seamlessly welded into the connecting hole. The other end of the conveying pipe 12 is connected to a first flange 3. The connecting pipe 2 is connected to a second flange 4. The first flange 3 and the second flange 4 are connected by bolts. A shock-absorbing sealing assembly 5 is provided between the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. A wrapping assembly 6 is also provided on the outside of the first flange 3 and the second flange 4.
[0022] By setting a shock-absorbing sealing assembly 5 between the first flange 3 and the second flange 4, the sealing performance between the first flange 3 and the second flange 4 is improved, while the vibration generated during powder conveying is reduced. By setting a wrapping assembly 6 on the outside of the first flange 3 and the second flange 4, the overall sealing performance can be further improved.
[0023] The vibration damping and sealing assembly 5 includes a first insertion ring 51, a second insertion ring 52, a sealing ring 53, and a vibration damping washer 54. The first insertion ring 51 is connected to the first flange 3 and is coaxially arranged with the first flange 3. The second insertion ring 52 is connected to the second flange 4 and is coaxially arranged with the second flange 4. The sealing ring 53 is sleeved on the outside of the first insertion ring 51, and the vibration damping washer 54 is sleeved on the outside of the sealing ring 53. The first insertion ring 51, the second insertion ring 52, the sealing ring 53, and the vibration damping washer 54 are of equal length. The first flange 3 has a first slot for inserting the second insertion ring 52, the sealing ring 53, and the vibration damping washer 54. The second flange 4 has a second slot for inserting the first insertion ring 51, the sealing ring 53, and the vibration damping washer 54.
[0024] When connecting the first flange 3 and the second flange 4, the first insertion ring 51 and the second insertion ring 52 are respectively inserted into the second slot and the first insertion groove, and the sealing ring 53 and the shock-absorbing washer 54 are disposed between the first insertion ring 51 and the second insertion ring 52. When the four-way pipe 1 vibrates due to the conveying of powder, the sealing ring 53 can maintain the sealing between the first flange 3 and the second flange 4, and the shock-absorbing washer 54 can absorb the vibration.
[0025] The wrapping assembly 6 includes a first hoop 61, a second hoop 62, a first connecting block 63, a second connecting block 64, a threaded rod 65, a locking nut 66, and a spring washer 67. Both the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62 are semi-circular rings with U-shaped cross-sections. When assembled, the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62 can wrap around the outside of the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. The first connecting block 63 is connected to the first hoop 61. The first connecting block 63... A first hoop 61 has one end at each end, a second connecting block 64 is connected to the second hoop 62, and a second connecting block 64 is one end at each end of the second hoop 62. One end of the threaded rod 65 is connected to the first connecting block 63 by a pin. The first connecting block 63 has a first slot for the threaded rod 65 to rotate, and the second connecting block 64 has a second slot for the threaded rod 65 to rotate into. A spring washer 67 is sleeved on the threaded rod 65, and a locking nut 66 is connected to the threaded rod 65.
[0026] A limiting block 651 is fitted on the threaded rod 65. The limiting block 651 has a through hole for the threaded rod 65 to pass through. The second connecting block 64 has a limiting groove for the limiting block 651 to be engaged. By setting the limiting block 651, the threaded rod 65 is prevented from rotating during connection, which is beneficial for the operator to install the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62.
[0027] When installing the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62, firstly, the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62 are locked together and wrapped around the outside of the first flange 3 and the second flange 4. Then, the threaded rod 65 is rotated upward and the limiting block 651 is lowered and locked into the limiting groove. Finally, the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62 are locked by rotating the locking nut 66.
[0028] Both the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62 are made of stainless steel, which improves the service life of the first hoop 61 and the second hoop 62.
[0029] The implementation principle of a novel pneumatic conveying four-way pipe in this application embodiment is as follows: The hardness and wear resistance of the inner walls of the spherical pipe 11 and the conveying pipe 12 are improved by spraying a tungsten alloy layer. When installing the four-way pipe 1 and the connecting pipe 2, the first flange 3 and the second flange 4 are mated together, so that the first insertion ring 51 and the second insertion ring 52 are respectively inserted into the second slot and the first insertion groove. A sealing ring 53 and a shock-absorbing washer 54 are disposed between the first insertion ring 51 and the second insertion ring 52. The sealing ring 53 between the first insertion ring 51 and the second insertion ring 52 ensures the first flange... To ensure a tight seal between flanges 3 and 4, the shock-absorbing washer 54 absorbs vibrations during powder conveying. Then, the first hoop ring 61 and the second hoop ring 62 are fitted together and wrapped around the outside of flanges 3 and 4. Next, the threaded rod 65 is rotated upwards to allow the limiting block 651 to fall and engage in the limiting groove. Finally, the first hoop ring 61 and the second hoop ring 62 are locked by rotating the locking nut 66. The first hoop ring 61 and the second hoop ring 62 limit the lateral displacement of flanges 3 and 4, thus improving the impact of vibration on flanges 3 and 4.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model, and the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the scope of this utility model's concept are within the protection scope of this utility model. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
