Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange technology, specifically a blind flange. Background Technology

[0002] Blind flanges, also known as blind flanges or flange covers, are flanges without a central hole. They are a type of flange connection used to seal and plug pipes. In industries such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, power, shipbuilding, and machinery, blind flanges serve to isolate and cut off pipelines, similar to end caps, pipe caps, and welded plugs. The seal of a blind flange is a removable sealing device, unlike the seal of an end cap which is not intended to be reopened. Due to their superior sealing performance, blind flanges are generally used as a reliable isolation method for systems requiring complete isolation.

[0003] The authorized publication number "CN205877580U" describes "a blind flange, including a circular base with several connection holes, characterized in that: the base is provided with an anti-corrosion layer, which is a circular plate structure adapted to the flange of the pipeline to be assembled, the anti-corrosion layer is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, an annular groove is provided on the outer circumference of the anti-corrosion layer near the base, and an annular protrusion extending outward is provided on the outer circumferential sidewall of the anti-corrosion layer near the annular groove, the annular protrusion is arranged in a guide structure in the installation direction of the blind flange, and the annular protrusion is movable relative to the sidewall of the anti-corrosion layer to compress the groove structure; the blind flange can achieve anti-corrosion sealing with the pipeline and is not easily worn."

[0004] The aforementioned patent can achieve corrosion-resistant sealing with pipelines and is not easily worn. However, during use, the flange cannot be separated under pressure to ensure its effectiveness. At the same time, the flange cannot be adjusted to ensure levelness when it is connected to the pipeline to guarantee its use. Utility Model Content

[0025] Base plate 1;

[0026] A pressure-reducing mechanism, mounted on the base plate 1, is used for pressure reduction during flange use. The pressure-reducing mechanism includes a reinforcing component and a pressure-relief arc surface 4. The reinforcing component is mounted on the base plate 1, and the pressure-relief arc surface 4 is mounted on the reinforcing component.

[0027] The mating sealing mechanism is located on the base plate 1 and is used for mating sealing between the flange and the pipe. The mating sealing mechanism includes a mating component, multiple sets of guide components, positioning components and a compression ring 10. The mating component is located on the base plate 1, the multiple sets of guide components are all located inside the mating component, the positioning components are located inside the mating component, and the compression ring 10 is located on the positioning component.

[0028] In this implementation scheme: the pressure relief arc surface 4 can guide the water flow direction, reduce the direct collision between the water flow and the wall, reduce local pressure concentration, and the pressure relief arc surface 4 has an anti-corrosion layer to ensure its use. Since the length of the pipe and the flange are not the same, the compression ring 10 is matched according to the length of the pipe to achieve a seal after the connection and ensure the use effect.

[0029] Specifically, the reinforcing component is a reinforcing base 5, which is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the outer surface of the base plate 1, and the pressure relief arc surface 4 is fixedly connected to the reinforcing base 5.

[0030] In this embodiment: the thickness of the base plate 1 is increased by increasing the thickness of the reinforcing base 5 to improve the pressure resistance.

[0031] Specifically, the mating components include a sealing outer ring 7 and a mating groove 3. The sealing outer ring 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, and the mating groove 3 is located between the sealing outer ring 7 and the reinforcing base 5.

[0032] In this embodiment: the sealing outer ring 7 wraps around the outside of the pipe, and at the same time, the pipe is connected in the docking groove 3 to complete the sealing.

[0033] Specifically, each of the multiple guide components includes a limiting sleeve 6 and a limiting rod 9. The limiting sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the docking groove 3, and the limiting rod 9 is movably inserted into the limiting sleeve 6 and fixedly connected to the extrusion ring 10.

[0034] In this embodiment, the limiting sleeve 6 and the limiting rod 9 cooperate to restrict the path of the extrusion ring 10 when it moves.

[0035] Specifically, the positioning components are multiple compression springs 8, each compression spring 8 is sleeved on each limiting sleeve 6, one end of each compression spring 8 is fixedly connected to the mating groove 3, and the other end of each compression spring 8 is fixedly connected to the compression ring 10.

[0036] In this embodiment, multiple compression springs 8 control the position of the compression ring 10 to ensure its use.

[0037] Specifically, multiple connecting holes 2 are equidistantly provided on the base plate 1 near the edge.

[0038] In this embodiment, multiple connection holes 2 facilitate the connection between the flange assembly and the pipeline.

[0039] During use, the pipe is connected in the connection groove 3, and the compression ring 10 is squeezed. The compression spring 8 seals the compression ring 10 with the pipe. At the same time, the sealing outer ring 7, the reinforcing base 5 and the compression ring 10 cooperate to ensure the sealing effect. The base plate 1 is connected to the pipe through multiple connection holes 2 to ensure use. During use, the pressure relief arc surface 4 guides the water flow direction, reduces the direct collision between the water flow and the wall, and reduces local pressure concentration.

[0040] The control method of this utility model is to control the device by manually starting and stopping the switch. The wiring diagram of the power element and the supply of power are common knowledge in the field.
