Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] In this application, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, components, or parts (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, components, or parts. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0044] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0045] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a flange disassembly device 1, including a main body 11 and a cutting blade 12. The main body 11 is provided with a through hole 111, and the through hole 111 is along a first direction (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown in the X direction) Penetrating the main body 11, the inner wall of the main body 11 forming a through hole 111 is provided with a receiving groove 112. The receiving groove 112 is used to accommodate two flanges connected by bolts. The receiving groove 112 has a first side wall 1121 and a second side wall 1122 opposite to each other. The first side wall 1121 is provided with a first slot 1123 for locking a nut, and the second side wall 1122 is provided with a second slot 1124 for locking a bolt head. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 112 is provided with a cutting groove 113, which communicates with the receiving groove 112 and surrounds the receiving groove 112. A cutting blade 12 is provided in the receiving groove 112, and the cutting blade 12 partially extends into the receiving groove 112. The cutting blade 12 is configured to cut the bolt from the middle of the two flanges.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the flange disassembly device 1 is installed on the flange, the edge of the flange is accommodated in the receiving groove 112. Since the bolts used to connect the flange are typically near the flange edge, the first slot 1123 on the first sidewall 1121 can hold the nut, and the second slot 1124 on the second sidewall 1122 can hold the bolt head, thereby fixing the flange disassembly device 1 to the flange and simultaneously securing the bolts. When the flange disassembly device 1 is fixed to the flange, the through hole 111 can avoid obstructing the pipe connected through the flange, preventing interference between the flange disassembly device 1 and the pipe.

[0047] After the flange removal device 1 is installed on the flange, the cutting blade 12 rotates and cuts the bolt shank between the two mating flanges. Since the nut is held in place by the first slot 1123 and the bolt head is held in place by the second slot 1124, the flange removal device 1 can fix the bolt during the bolt cutting process, improve the efficiency of the cutting blade 12 in cutting the bolt, and at the same time prevent the bolt from being loose during the cutting process, which could cause some fragments of the bolt shank to break off and cause a safety accident.

[0048] In some embodiments, the flange removal device 1 further includes a first drive member (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the cutting blade 12 and is capable of driving the cutting blade 12 to move along the extension direction of the cutting groove 113.

[0049] It is understandable that flanges are generally connected by multiple bolts. In this embodiment, when the flange removal device 1 is installed on the flange, after the cutting blade 12 cuts one bolt, the first driving member can drive the cutting blade 12 to move along the extension direction of the cutting groove 113. Since the cutting groove 113 is arranged around the receiving groove 112, the movement of the cutting blade 12 along the extension direction of the cutting groove 113 is also the movement of the cutting blade 12 around the receiving groove 112, so that the cutting blade 12 can cut other bolts when the flange removal device 1 is not moved.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments, the main body 11 is also provided with a cutting cavity 114, which surrounds the cutting groove 113 and is used to avoid the cutting blade 12.

[0051] The cutting cavity 114 is arranged around the cutting groove 113, and the cutting blade 12 is partially housed in the cutting cavity 114. During the rotation of the cutting blade 12, the cutting cavity 114 can avoid the cutting blade 12 and prevent the cutting blade 12 from damaging other structures of the flange disassembly device 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, there are multiple first card slots 1123 and multiple second card slots 1124, and the multiple first card slots 1123 correspond one-to-one with the multiple second card slots 1124.

[0053] Understandably, flanges are generally connected by multiple bolts. In order to ensure that all bolts are fixed when the cutting blade 12 cuts all bolts, the first sidewall 1121 can be provided with multiple first slots 1123, and the second sidewall 1122 can be provided with multiple second slots 1124. The multiple first slots 1123 and multiple second slots 1124 correspond one-to-one with the multiple bolts, so that the nut of each bolt is locked in the corresponding first slot 1123 and the bolt head is locked in the corresponding second slot 1124.

[0054] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the main body 11 includes a first block 115, a second block 116, a third block 117, and a fourth block 118. The second block 116 is detachably connected to the first block 115, and the second block 116 and the first block 115 are arranged along a first direction. The third block 117 is detachably connected to the first block 115, and the third block 117 and the first block 115 are arranged along a second direction.

[0057] During the installation of the flange disassembly device 1, the second block 116 is first placed on one side of the first block 115 in the first direction. Then, the first connecting member 13, which is provided on the first block 115, extends from the first block 115 in the first direction and connects to the second block 116, thereby connecting the first block 115 and the second block 116. Similarly, the fourth block 118 is placed on one side of the third block 117 in the first direction. Then, the first connecting member 13, which is provided on the third block 117, extends from the third block 117 in the first direction and connects to the fourth block 118, thereby connecting the third block 117 and the fourth block 118.

[0058] When it is necessary to disassemble the flange disassembly device 1, the first connecting member 13 provided on the first block 115 retracts the first block 115, thereby separating the first block 115 from the second block 116, and the first connecting member 13 provided on the third block 117 retracts the third block 117, thereby separating the third block 117 from the fourth block 118.

[0059] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, both the first block 115 and the second block 116 are provided with a capability to move along a second direction (e.g., Figure 3 The second connecting member 14 moves in the Y direction. The second connecting member 14 disposed on the first block 115 can extend or retract in the first block 115 in the second direction to be detachably connected to the third block 117; the second connecting member 14 disposed on the second block 116 can extend or retract in the second block 116 in the second direction to be detachably connected to the third block 117.

[0060] During the installation of the flange disassembly device 1, the third block 117 is first placed on one side of the first block 115 in the second direction. Then, the second connecting member 14, which is provided on the first block 115, extends from the first block 115 in the second direction and connects to the third block 117, thereby connecting the first block 115 and the third block 117. Similarly, the fourth block 118 is placed on one side of the second block 116 in the second direction. Then, the second connecting member 14, which is provided on the second block 116, extends from the second block 116 in the second direction and connects to the fourth block 118, thereby connecting the second block 116 and the fourth block 118.

[0061] When it is necessary to disassemble the flange disassembly device 1, the second connector 14 provided on the first block 115 retracts the first block 115, thereby separating the first block 115 from the third block 117, and the second connector 14 provided on the second block 116 retracts the second block 116, thereby separating the second block 116 from the fourth block 118.

[0062] Please see Figure 3In some embodiments, the flange disassembly device 1 further includes a second drive member 15 and a third drive member 16. The second drive member 15 is connected to the first connector 13 and is capable of driving the first connector 13 to move in a first direction.
