Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling pipeline technology, specifically a simple flange connection liquid cooling pipe. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid cooling pipelines are mainly used for connecting liquid cooling sources with equipment, between equipment, and between equipment and other pipelines. There are two types: flexible hoses and metal hoses.

[0003] Liquid cooling pipelines are typically connected via flanges, which are then secured with bolts. However, due to the weight of the flanges, securing them with bolts and nuts requires aligning the threaded holes on both flanges, ensuring their positions are correct, and then tightening the bolts. This makes it difficult for one person to connect the two flanges. Furthermore, because there are many bolts between the two flanges, uneven stress during installation can easily cause the flanges to warp, resulting in gaps between them and potential leaks.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a simple flange connection for liquid cooling pipes to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a simple flange connection for liquid cooling pipes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a simple flange connection for liquid cooling pipes, comprising a first flange and a second flange, wherein a pre-installation mechanism is connected to the first flange and the second flange, the pre-installation mechanism comprising a plug and a retainer, the plug and the retainer cooperating, and liquid cooling pipes are fixedly connected to both the first flange and the second flange; a snap fastener is elastically connected inside the plug, and a slot for cooperating with the snap fastener is provided on the retainer; a positioning ring is provided on the first flange, and a positioning groove is provided on the second flange.

[0007] Preferably, the end of the insert is beveled, so the width of the end of the insert is less than the opening width of the card seat. The two buckles are slidably connected to the left and right ends of the insert, and the outer wall of the buckle is provided with an arc-shaped cut edge.

[0008] Preferably, the insert block is provided with an elastic element, which is connected to two snap fasteners, and the elastic element is an elastic plate.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided in the positioning groove, the positioning ring and the sealing ring are in contact, a tapered section is provided on the inner wall of the second flange, the retainer is disposed in the tapered section, the retainer is arc-shaped, and the surface of the retainer is flush with the inner wall of the pipe of the second flange.

[0010] Preferably, both the first flange and the second flange are provided with threaded holes, and bolts are threaded into the threaded holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This utility model uses a pre-installation mechanism to insert the insert blocks and the card holder before tightening the bolts and nuts. By inserting multiple insert blocks and card holders, the positioning between the two flanges can be achieved, eliminating the need for manual support of the two flanges and aligning the threaded holes on the two flanges, making installation more convenient. At the same time, the positioning of the insert blocks and card holders can prevent the problem of warping when tightening the bolts. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a simple flange connection for liquid cooling pipes, including a first flange 1 and a second flange 2. A pre-installation mechanism 6 is connected to the first flange 1 and the second flange 2. The pre-installation mechanism 6 includes a plug 61 and a retainer 601. The plug 61 and the retainer 601 cooperate. Liquid cooling pipes 3 are fixedly connected to both the first flange 1 and the second flange 2. A buckle 62 is elastically connected inside the plug 61. The retainer 601 has a slot 602 that cooperates with the buckle 62. A positioning ring 11 is provided on the first flange 1, and a positioning groove 21 is provided on the second flange 2. A sealing ring is placed in the positioning groove 21. Through the abutment of the positioning ring 11, the sealing ring can be prevented from moving when facing high water pressure.

[0020] The pre-installation mechanism 6 facilitates quick and accurate installation between the two flanges. Due to the weight of the flanges, when fixing the two flanges with bolts and nuts, it is necessary to fix the position of the two flanges, align the threaded holes on the two flanges, and then tighten the bolts. Therefore, it is difficult for one person to complete the connection of the two flanges. In addition, since there are many bolts between the two flanges, if the force is uneven during installation, it is easy to cause the flanges to warp, resulting in gaps between the flanges and leakage problems.

[0021] With the pre-installation mechanism 6, the insert block 61 and the bracket 601 are inserted before the bolts and nuts are tightened. By inserting multiple insert blocks 61 and brackets 601, the positioning between the two flanges can be achieved, so that the two flanges do not need to be manually supported to align the threaded holes on the two flanges, making the installation more convenient. At the same time, when the bolts are tightened, the positioning of the insert block 61 and the bracket 601 can prevent the problem of warping.

[0022] Please see Figure 2-4 The end of the insert 61 is set as a bevel 63, so the width of the end of the insert 61 is smaller than the opening width of the card seat 601. This design facilitates the insertion of the insert 61 and the card seat 601. The two buckles 62 are slidably connected to the left and right ends of the insert 61, and the outer wall of the buckle 62 is provided with an arc-shaped cut edge 64. The arc-shaped cut edge 64 can make the buckle 62 cooperate smoothly with the slot 602, avoiding interference between the buckle 62 and the inner wall of the card seat 601, which would prevent the buckle 602 from entering the slot 602.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 The insert 61 is provided with an elastic element 65, which is connected to two buckles 62. The elastic element 65 is an elastic plate, which provides elastic force to the two buckles 62 at all times, so that the buckles 62 and the latches 602 are tightly engaged.

[0024] Please see Figure 4 A sealing ring is provided in the positioning groove 21, and the positioning ring 11 contacts the sealing ring. A tapered section 22 is provided on the inner wall of the second flange 2, and the retaining seat 601 is disposed in the tapered section 22. The retaining seat 601 is arc-shaped, and the surface of the retaining seat 601 is flush with the inner wall of the pipe of the second flange 2. By making the retaining seat 601 flush with the inner wall of the pipe of the second flange 2, the resistance of water flow can be reduced, thereby reducing the impact force of water flow on the flange.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 Both the first flange 1 and the second flange 2 are provided with threaded holes 4, and bolts 5 are connected to the internal threads of the threaded holes 4.

[0026] Working principle: Before installing the first flange 1 and the second flange 2, the two flanges are positioned by the pre-installation mechanism 6. That is, the two flanges are pre-positioned by the insertion of the insert block 61 and the bracket 601. Thus, when tightening the bolts, there is no need to manually support the two flanges, and the problem of warping is avoided. The positioning ring 11 and the positioning groove 21 are designed to fix the sealing ring stably between the two flanges, preventing the flanges from moving when subjected to large pressure.

[0027] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
