[0031] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a multi-stage sealing connection device for process pipelines, which includes two connecting seats 1, and an outer connecting pipe 2 is welded and fixed on each of the two connecting seats 1.
[0033] One of the connecting seats 1 has a stepped concave portion 11 on one side, while the other connecting seat 1 has a stepped convex portion 13 on one side. The convex portion 13 can be inserted into the concave portion 11 so that the two connecting seats 1 can be assembled and connected.
[0034] An auxiliary sealing element 3 is also installed in the contact area between the flat end faces of the concave portion 11 and the convex portion 13.
[0035] The outer circumference of the two connecting seats 1 is also fitted with rubber rings 4 to cover the gap between them;
[0036] Multiple reinforcing components 5 are arranged in a ring shape outside the two connecting seats 1, which contact and compress the rubber ring 4.
[0037] It should be noted that in this type of pipe connection structure, there is an external pipe 2 at one end of the connecting seat 1. The external pipe 2 is used to connect to the main pipe structure. The connection method between the external pipe and the main pipe depends on the material of the main pipe itself and is connected using the corresponding traditional installation method.
[0038] The two connecting seats 1 can be connected to each other to realize the connection between the main pipes. Among the two connecting seats 1, one connecting seat 1 has a concave part 11 and the other connecting seat 1 has an convex part 13. Both the concave part 11 and the convex part 13 are stepped. After the two are assembled and connected, they have a certain sealing effect and can improve the connection compactness between the two connecting seats 1.
[0039] The flat end face area where the concave portion 11 and the convex portion 13 contact each other has an auxiliary seal 3, which further fills the gap between the two and can further improve the sealing performance.
[0040] A rubber ring 4 is provided on the outer circumferential wall area of the two connecting seats 1. The rubber ring 4 covers the gap between the two connecting seats 1, thereby achieving multi-stage sealing between the two connecting seats 1 and improving the sealing effect.
[0041] The reinforcing component 5 is designed for the rubber ring 4, and it can compress the rubber ring 4 to make the contact between the rubber ring 4 and the connecting seat 1 more compact.
[0042] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple ring-shaped fixing seats 15 are welded to the outer circumference of both connecting seats 1. The fixing seats 15 are spaced apart and fixed by bolts 6 and nuts 7.
[0043] It should be noted that the two connecting seats 1 have external fixing seats 15, which can be fixed by bolts 6 and nuts 7 to ensure their stability.
[0044] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The concave portion 11 has a first semi-annular groove 12 on its circumferential surface, and the convex portion 13 has a second semi-annular groove 14 on its circumferential surface. When the convex portion 13 is inserted into the concave portion 11, the first semi-annular groove 12 and the second semi-annular groove 14 together form a sealing ring groove.
[0045] Meanwhile, the auxiliary sealing element 3 is an inflatable sealing ring 31, which is embedded inside the sealing ring groove. An air nozzle 32 extending to the outside of the connecting seat 1 is also provided on the inflatable sealing ring 31.
[0046] It should be noted that both the concave portion 11 and the convex portion 13 have semi-annular grooves. After assembly, the semi-annular grooves form a sealing ring groove. The auxiliary sealing element 3 is mainly an inflatable sealing ring 31. The inflatable sealing ring 31 can be installed inside the sealing ring groove to seal the gap between the two. Moreover, the inflatable sealing ring 31 is adjustable and has better sealing performance.
[0047] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 The outer circumference of the two connecting seats 1 and the overlapping mating surfaces are provided with a ring groove 16, and the rubber ring 4 is fitted inside the ring groove 16.
[0048] It should be noted that the ring groove 16 is designed to install the rubber ring 4, thereby positioning the rubber ring 4 and preventing it from shifting.
[0049] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 6 The reinforcing component 5 includes a mounting base 51 with a through hole. The mounting base 51 is located between two opposing fixing bases 15, allowing the bolt 6 to pass through the hole through the mounting base 51. An elastic pressure plate 52 is also welded onto the mounting base 51, which contacts and compresses the rubber ring 4.
[0050] It should be noted that in the reinforcement component 5, the mounting base 51 is mounted on the bolt 6. That is, when using the bolt 6 to reinforce the two connecting seats 1, the mounting base 51 can be placed between the two fixed seats 15 first, and then the bolt 6 can pass through the mounting base 51. The elastic pressure plate 52 on the mounting base 51 can contact the rubber ring 4 and generate elastic compression to further reinforce the rubber ring 4.
[0051] The elastic pressure plates 52 in the multiple reinforcing components 5 can form a metal ring, thus increasing the area covering the rubber ring 4, improving the positioning effect of the rubber ring 4, and preventing the rubber ring 4 from being scratched by foreign objects.
[0052] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
[0053] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
