Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flange connection technology, specifically to an adjustable angle flange universal connection assembly. Background Technology
[0002] A flange, also called a flange plate or flange, is a part used to connect shafts to each other, and is used for connecting pipe ends; flanges are also used on equipment inlets and outlets for connecting two pieces of equipment.
[0003] A search revealed that the Chinese patent "An Angle-Adjustable Channel Pipeline Flange Connection Device" (authorization announcement number CN218935605U) includes a first connecting flange, a second connecting flange, and a bellows. The bellows is positioned between the first and second connecting flanges, with its two ends connected to the first and second connecting flanges respectively. When it is necessary to adjust the assembly angle of the first or second connecting flange, the assembly angle can be adjusted by deforming the bellows. However, this method has the following drawbacks in actual use: although it can adjust the angle, the adjustment direction is fixed. When different directions need to be adjusted, the corresponding flange needs to be rotated for adaptation, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, the adjustment angle requires repeated manual adjustment, resulting in poor accuracy.
[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs an adjustable-angle flange universal connection assembly to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an adjustable angle flange universal connection assembly.

The adjusting component is a set, positioned between the two flanges and used for universal adjustment of one of the flanges. Each adjusting component includes a piston tube and a piston rod, one end of the piston rod having a ball bearing, and the outer side of the ball bearing having a ball seat slidably connected to one of the flanges.
[0008] Furthermore, the adjusting component also includes a collar, on which a clamping bolt is threadedly connected to contact the outside of the piston rod, and the collar is slidably connected to the outside of the piston rod;
[0009] Furthermore, the outer side of the piston rod is coated with graduations;
[0010] Furthermore, an annular pipe is installed on the outside of one of the flanges, one end of the piston tube is connected to the annular pipe, an air pipe is provided on the annular pipe, and a valve is provided on the outside of the air pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, a piston plate is mounted on one end of the piston rod, and the outer side of the piston plate is slidably connected to the inside of the piston tube;
[0012] Furthermore, a spring is installed on one side of the piston plate, and one end of the spring is installed to the inner wall of the piston tube;
[0013] Furthermore, a set of piston rods are evenly distributed along the axis of the flange, and the piston rods are coaxially arranged with the piston tube. Beneficial effects
[0014] 1. By setting up piston tubes and piston rods at multiple points, the extension and retraction of the corresponding piston rods can be used to adjust the flange in multiple directions, achieving a universal adjustment effect, which is more convenient.
[0015] 2. By setting a collar in conjunction with the scale value on the piston rod, the user can slide the collar to the corresponding scale value, and then use the collar to quickly drive the piston rod to move the corresponding distance, thereby completing the rapid adjustment of the corresponding adjustment angle, which is more convenient and precise.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0025] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1-4 An adjustable angle flange universal connection assembly includes two flanges 100, a connecting pipe between the two flanges 100, a corrugated section in the middle of the connecting pipe, and an adjusting component 200. The adjusting component 200 is a set, and the adjusting component 200 is disposed between the two flanges 100 and is used to adjust one of the flanges 100 in a universal manner. The adjusting component 200 includes a piston tube 210 and a piston rod 220. One end of the piston rod 220 is provided with a ball bearing 221, and the outer side of the ball bearing 221 is provided with a ball seat 222 that is slidably connected to one of the flanges 100.
[0026] In this embodiment of the present invention, when performing the docking operation, one of the flanges 100 can be pre-fixed and installed in the corresponding position, and then the remaining flanges 100 can be adjusted to the corresponding orientation and angle using the adjusting component 200, and then the docking operation can be performed.
[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the user can directly move the corresponding piston rod 220 to change the angle of the corresponding flange 100 along the moving direction. During the adjustment process, the corresponding piston rod 220 moves inside the corresponding piston tube 210. At this time, the corresponding flange 100 will drive the corresponding piston rod 220 to move. At the same time, the combination of ball bearing 221 and sliding ball seat 222 can ensure the smooth movement of the piston rod 220 and reduce the occurrence of jamming. After the angle adjustment is completed, a fixing and locking process is performed, and then the corresponding flange 100 can be connected.
[0028] It should be noted that users can adjust the piston rods 220 in two corresponding positions at a time to complete the adjustment in different directions and achieve a omnidirectional adjustment effect;
[0029] This application can be used for adjustment during pipeline connection without subsequent disassembly, allowing for long-term use. Alternatively, it can be used once during equipment connection operations, followed by disassembly and reuse.
[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting component 200 further includes a collar 230, on which a clamping bolt is threadedly connected to contact the outside of the piston rod 220, and the collar 230 is slidably connected to the outside of the piston rod 220.
[0031] Users can adjust the angle by moving the collar 230 to the corresponding position, then using the clamping bolt to connect it to the piston rod 220, and then pushing the collar 230 directly towards the end of the piston tube 210 until the two contact, thus completing the adjustment of the required angle quickly.
[0032] In this embodiment of the utility model, the outer side of the piston rod 220 is coated with scale values. By setting the scale values, the piston rod 220 slides a corresponding distance to complete the corresponding adjustment, thereby facilitating the user to quickly and accurately select the required adjustment angle.
[0033] It should be noted that there is a corresponding ratio between the movement distance of the piston rod 220 and the resulting tilt angle. Users can adjust the collar 230 to the corresponding position according to the ratio to meet different angle adjustment needs.
[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, an annular pipe 110 is installed on the outer side of one of the flanges 100, and one end of the piston pipe 210 is connected to the annular pipe 110. An air pipe 111 is provided on the annular pipe 110, and a valve is provided on the outer side of the air pipe 111. During the adjustment of the angle of the corresponding flange 100, the gas in the piston pipe 210 and the annular pipe 110 will interact with the outside along the air pipe 111. After the adjustment is completed, the user can close the valve, so that the gas in the piston pipe 210 and the annular pipe 110 is not easy to flow with the outside, thus completing the fixation and locking.
[0035] In this embodiment of the present invention, a piston plate 223 is installed at one end of the piston rod 220. The outer side of the piston plate 223 is slidably connected to the inside of the piston tube 210. During the movement of the piston rod 220, the piston plate 223 will follow the movement, thereby driving the gas in the piston tube 210 to move. After the above-mentioned fixing and locking operation is completed, the piston plate 223 will not be able to move at one end, thereby ensuring the stability of the corresponding flange 100.
[0036] In this embodiment of the utility model, a spring 224 is installed on one side of the piston plate 223. One end of the spring 224 is installed on the inner wall of the piston tube 210. After a single docking operation is completed, the user can disassemble the flange 100 at the connection point, and then use the spring 224 to deform and reset, thereby driving the piston plate 223 and the piston rod 220 to reset, which is convenient for the next adjustment and docking operation.
[0037] In this embodiment of the utility model, a set of piston rods 220 are evenly distributed along the axis of the flange 100, and the piston rods 220 and piston tubes 210 are coaxially arranged. This makes the entire connection position more distributed and the force on the flange 100 more uniform during the adjustment process.
[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
