[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of helping to understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.
[0023] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0024] Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites, with their excellent properties such as lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, are widely used in piping systems in engineering fields such as chemical, construction, and energy. The reliability of FRP pipe connections directly affects the stability and safety of the system. Common connection methods in existing technologies include flange connections, socket connections, and mechanical clamp connections. Traditional connection structures are usually designed for pipes of fixed diameter and cannot flexibly adjust the connection spacing according to actual working conditions, resulting in poor adaptability to different pipe diameters. In engineering applications, when connecting FRP pipes of different specifications or when the pipe undergoes slight deformation due to changes in ambient temperature, fixed connection methods may encounter problems such as installation difficulties, decreased sealing performance, or even structural failure, limiting the application expansion of FRP pipes in complex scenarios. Therefore, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This utility model discloses an FRP pipe connection structure, including a pipe body 1 and a pipe body 2. A connection structure 3 is provided on both pipe bodies 1 and 2. The connection structure 3 includes a connecting ring 31, a connecting ring 32, and a sleeve 36. Both the connecting ring 31 and the connecting ring 32 are provided with fastening plates 33. The connecting rings 31 and 32 are arranged in two sets, and an internal rod 34 is provided between the two sets of connecting rings 31 and 32. A telescopic rod 35 is connected to the bottom surface of the internal rod 34. Both rod 34 and telescopic rod 35 are located inside sleeve 36. One set of connecting ring 31 and connecting ring 32 has a hydraulic rod 37 inside. There are two hydraulic rods 37, and each hydraulic rod 37 has a retaining ring 38. Another set of connecting rings 31 and connecting ring 32 has a hydraulic rod 39. The two hydraulic rods 39 are connected by a retaining groove 40, which realizes the quick positioning and high-strength connection of tube body 1 and tube body 2. At the same time, the sealing gasket improves the sealing of the connection.
[0025] In Example 1, the fastening plate 33 has holes, and bolts are installed inside the holes. Connecting ring 1 31 and connecting ring 2 32 are fastened to the fastening plate 33 by bolts. The number of connecting ring 1 31 and connecting ring 2 32 is set to four. The number of built-in rod 34, telescopic rod 35 and sleeve 36 is also set to four. The telescopic rod 35 extends and retracts inside the sleeve 36, thereby adjusting the distance between the two pairs of connecting ring 1 31 and connecting ring 2 32.
[0026] Specifically, bolt holes are made in the fastening plate 33, and bolts are used to detachably fasten the connecting ring 31 and the connecting ring 32. The telescopic rod 35 is set to extend and retract, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the connecting ring 31 and the connecting ring 32.
[0027] In embodiment 2, the slot 40 and the retaining ring 38 are engaged, and a sealing gasket is provided inside the slot 40. The number of fastening plates 33 and holes is set to eight, and the fastening plates 33 and holes are correspondingly set on connecting ring 1 31 and connecting ring 2 32. The number of sealing gaskets is set to two. The diameters of tube 1 and tube 2 are the same. A fixing ring is provided on the built-in rod 34. The built-in rod 34 and the telescopic rod 35 are engaged inside the sleeve 36 through the fixing ring.
[0028] Specifically, the distance between the two sets of connecting rings can be flexibly adjusted by the telescopic movement of multiple telescopic rods 35 within the sleeve 36, adapting to FRP pipes of different diameters and expanding the application range.
[0029] Specifically, the hydraulic rod 37 and hydraulic rod 39 drive the retaining ring 38 to engage with the retaining groove 40. Combined with the bolt-tightened connecting ring structure, this achieves rapid positioning and high-strength connection of the pipeline, while the sealing gasket improves the sealing performance of the connection.
[0030] Specifically, through the interlocking and synergistic effect of multiple sets of telescopic rods 35, hydraulic rod one 37 and hydraulic rod two 39 distributed in a ring, the pipeline is subjected to uniform stress during the connection process, avoiding local stress concentration and improving the stability and durability of the connection structure 3.
[0031] Working principle: First, two sets of connecting rings 31 and 32 are respectively fitted onto the outside of pipe body 1 and pipe body 2. The two sets of connecting rings 31 and 32 are fixed in the designated position of the pipeline by the bolts on the fastening plate 33. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the two sets of connecting rings 31 and 32, the extension length of the telescopic rod 35 in the sleeve 36 is manually adjusted according to the difference in diameter between pipe body 1 and pipe body 2, so that the distance between the two sets of connecting rings 31 and 32 is adapted to the pipeline connection requirements. When it is necessary to clamp and fix, the hydraulic rod 37 is activated to push the retaining ring 38, and the hydraulic rod 39 pushes the retaining groove 40 closer to each other until the retaining ring 38 is embedded in the retaining groove 40 to complete the clamping. The sealing gasket is deformed by pressure to achieve a seal.
[0032] When disassembly is required, reverse the operation of hydraulic rod 37 and hydraulic rod 39 to separate the retaining ring 38 from the retaining groove 40. Loosen the bolts to remove the connecting ring and complete the pipeline separation. At this point, the entire process is complete.
