Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to fuel pipes, and more specifically, to a double-layer methanol high-pressure fuel pipe connector. Background Technology

[0002] Methanol fuel is a new type of clean fuel produced by blending industrial methanol or fuel methanol with denatured alcohol additives and existing standard gasoline and diesel (or component oils) in a specific volume (or weight ratio) using a strict scientific process. It can replace gasoline and diesel in various motor vehicles and stoves. The raw materials for methanol production are mainly coal, natural gas, coalbed methane, and coke oven gas. In particular, utilizing high-sulfur, low-quality coal and coke oven gas to produce methanol can improve resource utilization and reduce environmental pollution. Developing coal-to-methanol fuel to supplement and partially replace petroleum fuels is an effective shortcut to alleviate my country's energy shortage, improve resource utilization, and protect the ecological environment.

[0003] For the safety of marine engines, double-walled pipes are usually used to transport methanol fuel. When the double-walled pipe is not long enough or breaks, flanges (double O-rings) are used to weld the two ends of the double-walled pipe together, but this method is not easy to install and disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a double-layer methanol high-pressure fuel pipe joint to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, thereby solving the technical problem that the joints of the existing methanol fuel transportation channels are not easy to install and disassemble.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but this does not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Any limited modifications made by any person within the scope of the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0027] See Figures 1-6This utility model discloses a double-layer methanol high-pressure fuel pipe connector, comprising a first inner pipe mating part 1 and a second inner pipe mating part 11. Its characteristic is that it further includes a female sleeve 6 and a male sleeve 7. The female sleeve 6 is detachably mounted on the first outer pipe 2 via a first threaded sealing structure, and the male sleeve 7 is detachably mounted on the second outer pipe 10 via a second threaded sealing structure. The female sleeve 6 and the male sleeve 7 are threadedly connected. Figure 3 As shown, a first interference portion 19 is provided between the female sleeve 6 and the first inner tube docking portion 1, and a second interference portion 20 is provided between the male sleeve 7 and the second inner tube docking portion 11.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the double-layer methanol high-pressure fuel pipe includes a first inner pipe 23, a first outer pipe 2, a second inner pipe 24, and a second outer pipe 10. A first gap exists between the first inner pipe 23 and the first outer pipe 2, and a second gap exists between the second inner pipe 24 and the second outer pipe 10. The first inner pipe 23 and the second inner pipe 24 carry methanol fuel (methanol is toxic), and the inner pipes can withstand pressures of 1000-2000 bar. The first outer pipe 2 and the second outer pipe 10 can withstand pressures of 10-20 bar.

[0029] The female sleeve 6 has an inner cavity, the docking point 8 is located in the inner cavity, and the outer periphery of the docking point 8 forms an annular gap 9. The first inner tube docking part 1 has a first through hole 13 for gas flow, and the second inner tube docking part 11 has a second through hole 14 for gas flow.

[0030] The annular gap 9, the first through hole 13, the second through hole 14, the first gap between the first outer tube 2 and the first inner tube 23, and the second gap between the second outer tube 10 and the second inner tube 24 are all interconnected. The first gap, the first through hole 13, the annular gap 9, the second through hole 14, and the second outer tube 10 together constitute an inerting gas channel. The inerting gas channel is used to fill inerting gas to prevent methanol from the inner layer from flowing into the atmosphere in the event of leakage from the inner tube or joint.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the first threaded sealing structure includes a first fixing ring 3, a first limiting ring 17 fixedly installed on the first outer tube 2, the first outer tube 2 of the double-layer methanol high-pressure fuel pipe being inserted into the female head sleeve 6, the first fixing ring 3 being sleeved on the first outer tube 2, and the first limiting ring 17 being located within the first fixing ring 3, one end of the first fixing ring 3 having a first interference ring body 21 for limiting the first limiting ring 17, one end of the female head sleeve 6 having a first external thread, and the first fixing ring 3 having a second internal thread matching the first external thread, the female head sleeve 6 being threadedly connected to the first fixing ring 3. The first fixing ring 3 and the female head sleeve 6 are installed on the first outer tube 2, achieving the clamping of the first limiting ring 17 by the female head sleeve 6 and the first fixing ring 3.

[0032] A first sealing ring 4 is installed between the first limiting ring 17 and the end face of the female sleeve 6. The first sealing ring 4 is installed between the first limiting ring 17 and the end face of the female sleeve 6 to fill the gap between the threads and prevent methanol leakage.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the second threaded sealing structure includes a second fixing ring 12, a second limiting ring 18 fixedly installed on the second outer tube 10, the second outer tube 10 of the double-layer methanol high-pressure fuel pipe is inserted into the male sleeve 7, the second fixing ring 12 is sleeved on the second outer tube 10, and the second limiting ring 18 is located in the second fixing ring 12. One end of the second fixing ring 12 is provided with a second interference ring body 22 for limiting the second limiting ring 18. The other end of the female sleeve 6 is provided with a first internal thread, and one end of the male sleeve 7 is provided with a second external thread that matches the first internal thread. The male sleeve 7 and the female sleeve 6 are threadedly connected.

[0034] The other end of the male sleeve 7 is provided with a third external thread, and the second fixing ring 12 is provided with a third internal thread that matches the third external thread. The second fixing ring 12 is threadedly connected to the male sleeve 7, thereby clamping the second fixing ring 12 and the male sleeve 7 onto the second limiting ring 22, thus enabling the second fixing ring 12 and the male sleeve 7 to be installed on the second outer tube 10.

[0035] The male sleeve 7 is provided with a shoulder 16, which is used to limit the axial displacement of the threads of the male sleeve 7 and the female sleeve 6, preventing thread damage or seal failure caused by over-tightening. A third sealing ring 15 is installed between the second limiting ring 18 and the end face of the male sleeve 7. The third sealing ring 15 is provided to fill the gap between the threads and prevent methanol leakage.

[0036] A sealing ring mounting groove is provided at the connection between the female sleeve 6 and the male sleeve 7, and a second sealing ring 5 is provided in the sealing ring mounting groove. The second sealing ring 5 seals the connection between the female sleeve 6 and the male sleeve 7 to further prevent methanol leakage.

[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before transporting methanol fuel, inert gas is introduced into the inert gas channel so that the first gap, the first through hole 13, the annular gap 9, the second through hole 14, and the second outer pipe 10 are all filled with inert gas, thereby preventing methanol leaking from the inner layer from flowing into the atmosphere during methanol fuel transportation.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the structure of the present utility model. These modifications and improvements will not affect the effectiveness of the present utility model or the practicality of the patent.
