They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0030] Furthermore, the terms "second" and "first" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined as "second" or "first" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0031] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a conveying pipe, which includes a first pipe 1 and a second pipe 2 that are detachably connected. The traditional integrated conveying pipe is improved into a split first pipe 1 and second pipe 2, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the conveying pipe and the replacement of the components inside the conveying pipe.
[0032] Specifically, the first pipe 1 includes a first outer pipe 11 and a first inner pipe 12 sleeved inside the first outer pipe 11, with a first cavity 13 formed between the first outer pipe 11 and the first inner pipe 12. The second pipe 2 includes a second outer pipe 21 and a second inner pipe 22 sleeved inside the second outer pipe 21, with a second cavity 23 formed between the second outer pipe 21 and the second inner pipe 22.
[0033] The first cavity 13 of the first pipe 1 is connected to the second cavity 23 of the second pipe 2. The first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 can be used to transport fluids, or they can also be used to store fluids, solids or other media in other states.
[0034] When the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 are used for gas flow, they can be used to create negative pressure or pressurize the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23. When the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 are used for liquid flow, the liquid can act as a heat exchange medium to exchange heat with the fluid in the first inner tube 12 and the second inner tube 22. When the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 are used for storing a medium, the medium can be a heat-insulating medium, a waterproof medium, a fire-resistant medium, a corrosion-resistant medium, a sealing medium, or other functional media with specific functions.
[0035] Optionally, the conveying pipe can be used in a powder degassing device. A screw conveying mechanism is installed in the first inner tube 12 and the second inner tube 22 of the conveying pipe to convey the powder. Both the first inner tube 12 and the second inner tube 22 can be constructed as microporous tubes. The first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 of the conveying pipe are used to provide negative pressure to degas the powder in the conveying pipe.
[0036] It should be noted that the application scenarios of the conveying pipelines in the above embodiments are one possible application scenario in actual application and do not constitute a limitation on the conveying pipelines. In addition, when the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 are used to convey fluid, inlets and outlets can be opened on the first outer pipe 11 and the second outer pipe 21 respectively. The fluid is sequentially input into the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 through the inlet and then output through the outlet.
[0037] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the conveying pipeline also includes a first connecting ring 14 located at the end of the first pipeline 1 and a second connecting ring 24 located at the end of the second pipeline 2, wherein the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24 are detachably connected.
[0038] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting ring 14 includes a first main body 141, a first extension 142, and a second extension 143. The first main body 141 abuts against the end of the first outer tube 11. The first extension 142 extends from the first main body 141 into the interior of the first outer tube 11 and abuts against the end of the first inner tube 12. The second extension 143 extends from the end of the first extension 142 into the first cavity 13 and contacts the inner wall of the first outer tube 11 and the outer wall of the first inner tube 12, thereby fixing the radial position of the first outer tube 11 and the first inner tube 12 and preventing relative radial movement between them.
[0039] Furthermore, the end of the first inner tube 12 is inserted into the first extension 142 to further limit the radial and axial positions of the first inner tube 12.
[0040] Optionally, the first main body 141, the first extension 142, and the second extension 143 are all configured as annular structures.
[0041] Reference Figure 5As shown, the second connecting ring 24 includes a second main body 241 and a third extension 242. The end of the second main body 241 abuts against the end of the second outer tube 21 and the end of the second inner tube 22. The third extension 242 extends from the end of the second main body 241 into the second cavity 23. The third extension 242 fits against the inner wall of the second outer tube 21 and the outer wall of the second inner tube 22 to fix the radial position of the second outer tube 21 and the second inner tube 22, preventing the second outer tube 21 and the second inner tube 22 from moving relative to each other in the radial direction. At the same time, the third extension 242 can also improve the sealing of the second cavity 23.
[0042] Optionally, both the second main body 241 and the third extension 242 are configured as ring structures.
[0043] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24 are detachably connected by a radially arranged spring pin assembly. The spring pin assembly includes a pin body 5 and an elastic member 6. The first connecting ring 14 has a radially extending first connecting groove 147, and the second connecting ring 24 has a radially extending second connecting groove 246 corresponding to the first connecting groove 147. The elastic member 6 is disposed in the first connecting groove 147. A part of the pin body 5 is located in the first connecting groove 147 and abuts against the elastic member 6, while the other part can extend out of the first connecting groove 147 when the elastic member 6 is not compressed, and can retract into the first connecting groove 147 when the elastic member 6 is compressed.
[0044] When connecting the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24, press the pin 5. The pin 5 compresses the elastic element 6 and enters the first connecting groove 147 as a whole. Then, align the second connecting groove 246 of the second connecting ring 24 with the first connecting groove 147 of the first connecting ring 14. After releasing the pin 5, the pin 5 can enter the second connecting groove 246 under the drive of the elastic element 6, connecting the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24 together, thereby connecting the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 together. When disassembling the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24, press the pin 5 again to disengage it from the second connecting groove 246.
[0045] Optionally, the elastic element 6 can be a spring, which can be fitted onto the portion of the pin 5 located within the first connecting groove 147. A radially protruding stop is provided on the periphery of the pin 5, which, together with the bottom of the first connecting groove 147, limits the installation of the spring 6.
[0046] It should be noted that the connection method of the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24 in the above embodiments is one possible connection method in actual application and does not constitute a limitation on the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24. In other embodiments, the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24 may also be connected by detachable methods such as threaded connection, clamp connection, snap connection, magnetic connection, or interference fit.
[0047] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in order to connect the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23, the first connecting ring 14 is provided with a first connecting hole 145 that communicates with the first cavity 13, and the second connecting ring 24 is provided with a second connecting hole 244 that communicates with the second cavity 23 and the first connecting hole 145.

[0050] According to the above structural design, when the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 are used to transport fluid, the first connecting hole 145 and the second connecting hole 244 can connect the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23, and the fluid in the first cavity 13 can flow into the second cavity 23 sequentially through the first connecting hole 145 and the second connecting hole 244. Conversely, the fluid in the second cavity 23 can also flow into the first cavity 13 sequentially through the second connecting hole 244 and the first connecting hole 145.
[0051] Furthermore, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting hole 145 extends axially through the first main body portion 141 and the insertion portion 144. A flow groove 1431 is formed on the circumferential outer wall of the second extension portion 143. The flow groove 1431 is located inside the first cavity 13 and communicates with it. The first connecting hole 145 also extends through the groove wall of the flow groove 1431 near the first main body portion 141 and communicates with it, so that the first cavity 13 and the first connecting hole 145 are connected through the flow groove 1431.
[0052] Optionally, multiple first connecting holes 145 and flow channels 1431 are provided, and they are interconnected in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0053] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in order to improve the connection efficiency of the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24, the first connecting ring 14 further includes a plug portion 144 extending from the first main body portion 141 toward the second connecting ring 24, and the second connecting ring 24 includes a slot 243 axially recessed from its end, and the plug portion 144 is inserted into the slot 243.

[0055] Optionally, the second connecting hole 244 extends axially from the bottom of the slot 243 to the side of the third extension 242 away from the second main body 241.
[0056] It should be noted that the positions of the plug-in part 144 and the slot 243 in the above embodiments are one possible connection method in actual application. In other embodiments, the positions of the plug-in part 144 and the slot 243 can also be interchanged, with the plug-in part 144 set on the second connecting ring 24 and the slot 243 set on the first connecting ring 14.
[0057] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 As shown, a sealing ring is provided between the insertion part 144 and the slot 243 to improve the sealing between the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24.
[0058] Optionally, a first sealing ring 3 is provided between the outer peripheral wall of the plug-in portion 144 and the slot 243, and a second sealing ring 4 is provided between the inner peripheral wall of the plug-in portion 144 and the slot 243.
[0059] Optionally, a first receiving groove 1411 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the insertion part 144, and the first sealing ring 3 is at least partially fitted inside the first receiving groove 1411. A second receiving groove 2411 is formed on the inner peripheral groove wall of the slot 243, and the second sealing ring 4 is at least partially fitted inside the second receiving groove 2411.
[0060] It should be noted that the positions of the first receiving groove 1411 and the second receiving groove 2411 in the above embodiments are a design scheme that can be selected in actual application. In other embodiments, the first receiving groove 1411 can also be set on the outer peripheral groove wall of the slot 243, and the second receiving groove 2411 can also be set on the inner peripheral wall of the insertion part 144.
[0061] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting ring 14 is provided with an axially extending positioning post 146, and the second connecting ring 24 is provided with an axially recessed positioning groove 245 for the positioning post 146 to be inserted. The positioning post 146 and the positioning groove 245 can improve the efficiency of assembling the first connecting ring 14 and the second connecting ring 24.
[0062] It should be noted that the positions of the positioning post 146 and the positioning groove 245 in the above embodiments are one possible connection method in actual application. In other embodiments, the positions of the positioning post 146 and the positioning groove 245 can also be interchanged, with the positioning post 146 set on the second connecting ring 24 and the positioning groove 245 set on the first connecting ring 14.
[0063] In one embodiment, the first connecting ring 14 is fixedly connected to the first outer tube 11 and the first inner tube 12 by welding, and the second connecting ring 24 is fixedly connected to the second outer tube 21 and the second inner tube 22 by welding.

Similarly, the second connecting ring 24 can also be connected to the second outer tube 21 and the second inner tube 22 by other fixed connection methods.
[0065] When the conveying pipe in the above embodiments is applied to the powder degassing device of the packaging scale, the conveying pipe can simultaneously serve as a pipe for conveying powder and a pipe for degassing powder.
[0066] Specifically, a screw conveyor mechanism is installed in the first inner tube 12 and the second inner tube 22 to convey powder. The first inner tube 12 is configured as a microporous tube, and an opening is opened on the second outer tube 21. The opening can be selectively connected to a negative pressure system (e.g., a negative pressure pump) or a backflush system (e.g., a backflush pump) under the control of a control valve.
[0067] When degassing of the powder is required, the opening on the second outer tube 21 is connected to the negative pressure system, so that negative pressure is generated in the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23. Under the action of negative pressure and the extrusion force provided by the spiral blade, the gas in the powder can be drawn into the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23 through the microporous tube, thereby realizing the degassing treatment of the powder.
[0068] After the powder has been degassed for a period of time, the opening on the second outer tube 21 can be connected to the backflush system to introduce gas into the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23, pressurize the first cavity 13 and the second cavity 23, backflush the microporous tube, and blow the powder that is blocked in the pores of the microporous tube into the tube body.
[0069] 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.
[0070] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
