[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0027] A thin-walled flame-retardant titanium alloy tube includes an inner tube body 1, a flame-retardant sheath 2 on the outer side of the inner tube body 1, and several vibration damping components 3 on the outer wall of the inner tube body 1. The vibration damping components 3 and the flame-retardant sheath 2 are connected by a plug-in component 4. The vibration damping component 3 includes a rubber strip 31 with an X-shaped cross section. Several pressure-reducing grooves 32 are arranged at equal intervals in the inner cavity of the rubber strip 31. Several elastic connecting strips 33 are arranged at equal intervals and fixedly connected to the bifurcations on the inner and outer sides of the rubber strip 31. The inner end of the rubber strip 31 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner tube body 1.
[0028] As a further implementation of this solution, pressure relief holes 321 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the pressure relief groove 32, and annular airbags 322 are provided between the rubber strips 31. The annular airbags 322 are segmented, and the end of each segment of the annular airbag 322 is fixedly inserted into the pressure relief hole 321 on the adjacent rubber strip 31. Each segment of the annular airbag 322 is connected to the corresponding pressure relief groove 32 through the pressure relief hole 321. The pressure relief groove 32 is connected to the annular airbag 322 through the pressure relief hole 321. This not only allows the gas in the pressure relief groove 32 to be squeezed into the annular airbag 322 when the rubber strip 31 is compressed to obtain a better buffering effect, but also disperses the gas pressure in the pressure relief groove 32 when the rubber strip 31 expands due to the high temperature medium transported in the inner tube 1, preventing the pressure relief groove 32 from rupturing.
[0029] As a further implementation of this solution, a gap is provided between the inner tube 1 and the flame-retardant sheath 2, and the annular airbag 322 is disposed in the gap and does not contact the inner tube 1 or the flame-retardant sheath 2. This arrangement can provide space for the expansion of the annular airbag 322.
[0030] As a further implementation of this solution, the number of elastic connecting bands 33 and pressure relief grooves 32 are equal and their positions correspond. The number of annular airbags 322 and pressure relief grooves 32 are equal. When the rubber strip 31 is compressed, its end bifurcates will expand outward due to the pressure, and at the same time, it will stretch the elastic connecting band 33. The elastic connecting band 33 will then drive the bifurcations of the rubber strip 31 to reset through its own rebound force, thereby buffering the pressure.
[0031] As a further implementation of this solution, the plug-in assembly 4 includes a dovetail insert 41, which is fixedly connected to the outer forked end of the rubber strip 31. The end of the flame-retardant sheath 2 is provided with several dovetail slots 42. The number of dovetail slots 42 and the dovetail insert 41 are equal, their positions are corresponding and their specifications are matched. The plug-in assembly 4 can provide a convenient connection between the vibration damping assembly 3 and the flame-retardant sheath 2, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly.
[0032] Workflow: The flame-retardant sleeve 2, fitted over the outer side of the inner tube 1, provides protection to the outer side of the inner tube 1. Therefore, when high-frequency vibrations occur inside the engine, the flame-retardant sleeve 2 will come into contact with surrounding components, preventing direct contact between the inner tube 1 and these components. Furthermore, the flame-retardant sleeve 2's own flame-retardant properties prevent localized overheating of the outer wall of the inner tube 1 due to friction. When surrounding components vibrate at high frequencies, the vibration first acts on the flame-retardant sleeve 2, causing it to compress the rubber strip 31. Under pressure, the forked ends of the rubber strip 31 expand outwards, buffering the pressure through its rubber properties. Simultaneously, it stretches the elastic connecting band 33, which, through its own rebound force, resets the forked ends of the rubber strip 31, thus mitigating the pressure. The pressure is buffered. When the rubber strip 31 is under great pressure, its own deformation will squeeze the gas in the pressure relief groove 32 from the pressure relief hole 321 into the annular air bag 322. The air pressure is used to obtain a better buffering effect, preventing high-frequency vibration generated inside the engine from acting on the inner tube body 1 and causing damage. When the inner tube body 1 transports high-temperature medium and causes the rubber strip 31 to expand thermally, it can disperse the gas pressure in the pressure relief groove 32 and prevent the pressure relief groove 32 from rupturing. The plug-in component 4 can provide a convenient connection between the vibration damping component 3 and the flame-retardant sleeve 2, so as to facilitate installation and disassembly. During installation, place the inner tube body 1 at one end of the flame-retardant sleeve 2, align the dovetail inserts 41 on the rubber strip 31 with the dovetail slots 42 one by one and push them into the flame-retardant sleeve 2. During disassembly, it can be pulled out.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
