[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This flange-type bellows joint, through the setting of positioning components, with the cooperation of positioning plug and positioning shaft, only requires inserting the positioning shaft into the corresponding positioning plug during installation to complete the automatic calibration of the joint axis, avoiding the problem of uneven load on the sealing surface caused by misalignment.

A mounting bolt 3, with one end extending to the right side of the second bellows joint 2, is threadedly connected to the left side wall of the first bellows joint 1. Four mounting bolts 3 are arranged in a ring at equal intervals. Two mounting nuts 4, symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides, are threaded onto the external threads of each mounting bolt 3. A first anti-separation device is provided between the mounting bolts 3 and the mounting nuts 4. Loose washers and the bolt thread surface is coated with molybdenum disulfide coating. The front and rear side walls of the first corrugated pipe joint 1 are fixedly connected with positioning components 5, which are respectively fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls of the second corrugated pipe joint 2. The positioning components 5 include positioning plug seats 51. The front and rear side walls of the first corrugated pipe joint 1 are fixedly connected with positioning plug seats 51, and the front and rear side walls of the second corrugated pipe joint 2 are fixedly connected with positioning shafts 52. The two positioning shafts 52 are respectively inserted into the interior of the two positioning plug seats 51. The right side wall of the positioning plug seats 51 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove that is compatible with the positioning shafts 52.

[0025] The first corrugated pipe joint 1 is externally fixedly connected to a protective component 6, which is also externally fixedly connected to the second corrugated pipe joint 2. The protective component 6 includes a fixing ring plate 61. Both the first corrugated pipe joint 1 and the second corrugated pipe joint 2 are externally fixedly connected to the fixing ring plate 61. Both the first corrugated pipe joint 1 and the second corrugated pipe joint 2 are externally fitted with mutually fitting annular protective frames 62. A corrugated buffer pad made of nitrile rubber is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular protective frame 62. The two annular protective frames 62 are located between the two fixing ring plates 61. U-shaped seats 63 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the two fixing ring plates 61. Hooks 64 are rotatably connected between the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped seats 63. The opposite sides of the two fixing ring plates 61 are connected to the two annular protective frames 62. Four compression springs 65, arranged in a ring and evenly spaced, are fixedly connected between the opposing sides. The spring constant of the compression springs 65 is 50-80 N / mm, and the spring material is stainless steel and has been shot-peened. Hook rings 66 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the two ring protective frames 62. Connecting blocks 67 are fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the two ring protective frames 62. A connecting bolt 68 extending to the right side of the right connecting block 67 is threaded onto the left side wall of the left connecting block 67. Two connecting nuts 69, arranged symmetrically on the left and right sides, are threaded onto the external threads of each connecting bolt 68.

[0026] It is worth noting that the standard parts used in this application can all be purchased from the market, and the specific connection methods of each part are all connected by conventional means such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. Furthermore, the machinery, parts, and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art, and the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art. The contents not described in detail in the description belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0027] In summary, this flange-type bellows joint, through the setting of positioning component 5, and the cooperation of positioning socket 51 and positioning shaft 52, allows for automatic alignment of the joint axis during installation by simply inserting the positioning shaft 52 into the corresponding positioning socket 51. This avoids the problem of uneven sealing surface load caused by misalignment. This structure is particularly suitable for installation at heights or in confined spaces, reducing the tedious manual alignment operation, lowering installation difficulty and time consumption, and improving the practicality of the structure. Through the setting of protective component 6, the compression springs 65 on both sides push the two annular protective frames 62 to fit together, and then the two annular protective frames 62 are fixed by the cooperation of connecting bolts 68 and connecting nuts 69, thus forming a fully enclosed shielding structure that effectively blocks external environmental factors such as rainwater, dust, and corrosive gases. The nitrile rubber corrugated buffer pad on the inner wall of the annular protective frame 62 fits tightly against the surface of the bellows, which can shield the joint from damage caused by external mechanical impact. The hooks 64 and hook rings 66 are designed so that when disassembling the joint, the two annular protective frames 62 can be pushed to both sides and fixed by the hooks 64 and hook rings 66, which facilitates the disassembly of the joint by the staff and further improves the practicality of the structure. It solves the problem that the traditional bellows joint does not have an external protective structure, and its main body is exposed to the outside, which is easy to be corroded by external environmental factors, which can lead to corrosion of the joint surface or installation structure, further causing damage to the joint and resulting in loosening of the bellows connection. Secondly, the flange joint requires manual location of the mounting holes and alignment during installation, which is tedious.
