Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe connectors, and in particular to a high-sealing universal rotary joint for oil pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Oil pipeline systems are widely used in petrochemicals, offshore platforms, and long-distance inland pipelines. Due to the influence of factors such as thermal expansion and contraction, mechanical vibration, and terrain changes, universal rotary joints are required to achieve multi-degree-of-freedom compensation (such as axial expansion and contraction, radial offset, and angular deflection) to ensure the sealing and reliability of pipelines under complex working conditions.

[0003] However, existing rotary joints still have some shortcomings and areas for improvement in practical use. Existing universal rotary joints are prone to insufficient sealing and leakage during use and installation due to improper installation or loose tightening. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a high-sealing universal rotary joint for oil pipelines to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a high-sealing universal rotary joint for oil pipelines. This joint utilizes multiple first springs and an upper gasket on the upper surface of the first threaded connecting pipe. During installation, the upper gasket is compressed, causing the multiple first springs at the lower end to deform. The threaded connection and the combined action of the multiple first springs ensure a tight seal at the connection. Simultaneously, a sealing ring is provided on the lower surface of the lower connecting sleeve. When the second threaded connecting pipe is connected, the sidewall of the sealing ring is precisely squeezed into the gap at the connection point through rotation, preventing oil leakage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-sealing universal rotary joint for oil pipelines, comprising an upper connecting structure, a lower connecting structure at the lower end of the upper connecting structure, and movable grooves respectively provided at the center of the lower end face of the upper connecting structure and the center of the upper end face of the lower connecting structure. The upper connecting structure includes an upper connecting sleeve, a first through hole at the center of the upper end face of the upper connecting sleeve, the lower end of the first through hole penetrating the upper end face of the upper connecting sleeve and extending into the interior of the movable groove, and a...

Under the action of the threaded connection and the multiple first springs 103, the sealing of the connection can be guaranteed. At the same time, the sealing ring 203 is set on the lower end face of the lower connecting sleeve 202. When the second threaded connecting pipe 201 is connected, the side wall of the sealing ring 203 is just squeezed into the gap at the connection by rotation, so as to prevent oil leakage.

[0035] Working Principle: This utility model is a high-sealing universal rotary joint for oil pipelines. Multiple first springs 103 and an upper gasket 102 are installed on the upper end face of the first threaded connecting pipe 104. During installation, the upper gasket 102 is compressed, causing the multiple first springs 103 at the lower end to deform. The threaded connection and the action of the multiple first springs 103 ensure the sealing of the connection. Simultaneously, a sealing ring 203 is provided on the lower end face of the lower connecting sleeve 202. When the second threaded connecting pipe 201 is connected, the side wall of the sealing ring 203 is precisely squeezed into the gap at the connection point through rotation, preventing oil leakage. By connecting the second threaded connecting pipe 201 to the conveying pipe, when rotating during installation, the lower gasket 205 is compressed, causing multiple second springs 206 to contract simultaneously. When tightened to the correct position, the stability and sealing of the connection are ensured by the threaded connection and the action of multiple second springs 206 on the lower gasket 205. When connecting the upper connecting structure 1 and the lower connecting structure 2, the lower end of the upper connecting sleeve 108 is inserted into the slot 601. Multiple limiting rings 602 on both sides act on the two side walls of the upper connecting sleeve 108, which reduces the gaps generated during connection, ensures the sealing of the connection, and prevents oil leakage.
