[0027] Example 1:
[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a composite pressure-bearing cylinder connection structure, including a composite cylinder 101. A metal part 102 is sealed and installed at the top of the main body of the composite cylinder 101. A pin bolt 103 is fastened between the surface of the metal part 102 and the surface of the main body of the composite cylinder 101.
[0029] The metal part 102 is used to seal and reinforce the main body of the composite cylinder 101; the pin bolt 103 is used to fasten and connect the metal part 102 to the main body of the composite cylinder 101.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.
[0032] Specifically, the main body of the composite cylinder 101 is a cylindrical structure with a slot 105 at its top.
[0033] By setting the insertion slot 105 for installing the metal part 102, an efficient and reliable connection between the composite cylinder 101 and the metal part 102 is achieved.
[0034] Specifically, the insertion slot 105 has a circular structure, and the metal part 102 is tightly inserted into the insertion slot 105.
[0035] The metal part 102 is connected to the main body of the composite cylinder 101 by inserting a groove 105. The groove 105 is a circular structure, and its inner diameter, depth and tolerance must match the insertion end of the metal part 102 to ensure installation accuracy and tightness. The groove 105 transmits axial tensile and compressive forces, torque and lateral shear force through the contact surface between the groove wall and the metal part 102. The groove wall adopts a rounded transition design to avoid stress concentration and ensure that the load is evenly transmitted to the composite cylinder 101.
[0036] Specifically, the inner surface of the insertion slot 105 has a first mounting hole 106, which is evenly distributed around the circumference and arranged in two rows, one above the other.
[0037] By setting the first mounting hole 106 for mounting the pin bolt 103, the first mounting hole 106 serves as a key connection structure between the insertion groove 105 and the metal part 102. The first mounting hole 106 is evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner surface of the insertion groove 105, ensuring that the pin bolt 103 is subjected to uniform force and avoiding local stress concentration. The double-row staggered arrangement forms a spatial three-dimensional constraint, which significantly improves the torsional stiffness, not only improving the structural performance but also significantly enhancing the engineering applicability of the composite structure.
[0038] Specifically, the metal part 102 has a cylindrical structure with a flange at the top, which is pressed against the top of the composite cylinder body 101.
[0039] The metal part 102 is inserted into the top of the composite cylinder 101 for reinforcement. As a key reinforcing component of the composite cylinder 101, the cylindrical structure and flange design of the metal part 102 effectively reinforce the composite cylinder 101. The main body of the metal part 102 is cylindrical, and its outer diameter matches the inner diameter of the composite cylinder 101. After the metal part 102 is inserted into the top of the composite cylinder 101, its cylindrical structure significantly improves the local bending stiffness.
[0040] Specifically, the surface of the metal part 102 has a second mounting hole 107, which is a sealed fine thread hole structure.
[0041] By providing a second mounting hole 107 for mounting the pin bolt 103, the second mounting hole 107 adopts a fine thread, which has a smaller pitch than a coarse thread, enabling more precise axial positioning and higher connection rigidity, ensuring the fit with the pin bolt 103, avoiding loosening under dynamic loads, not only improving structural performance, but also significantly enhancing the engineering applicability of the metal part 102.
[0042] Specifically, the second mounting hole 107 is aligned with the first mounting hole 106, and the pin bolt 103 passes through the first mounting hole 106 and is threaded into the second mounting hole 107.
[0043] The pin bolt 103 is fastened to the metal part 102 and the composite cylinder 101 body through the first mounting hole 106 and the second mounting hole 107. The first mounting hole 106 and the second mounting hole 107 adopt a "circumferentially distributed + double-row staggered" layout to ensure that the pin bolt 103 is not eccentrically stressed after insertion. The second mounting hole 107 adopts fine thread to achieve precise engagement. An O-ring sealing groove is set at the bottom of the second mounting hole 107, which is used in conjunction with a fluororubber O-ring. The threaded part is coated with thread sealant to form a double seal. A spring washer is set between the bolt head and the composite cylinder 101 to provide anti-loosening compensation.
[0044] Example 3:
[0045] Reference Figures 1-5 This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0046] Specifically, a sealing cone 109 is fixed to the inner end of the pin bolt 103, and the sealing cone 109 has a conical structure.
[0047] By setting a sealing cone 109, the pin bolt 103 is stabilized. As a key auxiliary structure of the pin bolt 103, the sealing cone 109's conical design achieves enhanced stability and sealing protection for the bolt connection.
[0048] Specifically, a sealing ring 104 is fitted onto the surface of the pin bolt 103. The sealing ring 104 adopts an O-ring structure and fits tightly against the inside of the first mounting hole 106.
[0049] By setting a sealing ring 104, the connection between the metal part 102 and the main body of the composite cylinder 101 is strengthened and sealed.
[0050] Specifically, the outer end of the pin bolt 103 has a protruding tip and a screwing groove 108, which is an internal hexagonal structure.
[0051] The screwing groove 108 is provided for screwing the mounting pin bolt 103.
[0052] In use, the carbon fiber yarn bundle is impregnated with resin and wound onto the mold mandrel. The inner wall of the composite cylinder 101 is first wound and cured before machining. The metal part 102 is then fitted onto the composite cylinder 101. Before fitting, acetone is used to clean the mating surfaces of the composite cylinder 101 and the metal part 102. Adhesive is applied to the mating area, and sealant is applied to the R-corner area.
[0053] After the metal part 102 is fitted onto the main body of the composite cylinder 101, the machined pin bolt 103 is installed in the first mounting hole 106 and the second mounting hole 107. Using an Allen wrench, the pin bolt 103 is screwed into the metal part 102 from the inner wall of the composite cylinder 101. Before screwing in, the pin bolt 103 needs to be fitted with an FPM O-ring rubber seal 104, and PTFE tape needs to be wrapped around the threads. Finally, the circumferential wrapping is applied to the outer area of the metal part 102 to form an integral seal with the composite cylinder 101 for reinforcement. During the circumferential wrapping reinforcement, the carbon fiber yarn bundle hangs on the protruding tip at the tail of the pin bolt 103, which can increase the connection strength and rigidity between the composite cylinder 101 and the metal part 102.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
