Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an automotive bellows device that can adapt to different pipe diameters. Background Technology

[0002] A bellows is a tubular elastic sensing element made of foldable corrugated sheets connected along the folding and stretching direction. Bellows are widely used in instrumentation, primarily as measuring elements in pressure gauges, converting pressure into displacement or force. Bellows have thin walls, high sensitivity, and a measurement range from tens of Pascals to tens of megapascals. Its open end is fixed, while the sealed end is in a free state, with auxiliary helical springs or leaf springs used to increase elasticity. During operation, it stretches along the length of the tube under internal pressure, causing the moving end to produce a displacement proportional to the pressure. The moving end drives a pointer to directly indicate the pressure magnitude. Bellows are often combined with displacement sensors to form pressure sensors that output electrical signals, and sometimes they are used as isolation elements. Because the stretching of a bellows requires a large volume change, its response speed is slower than that of a Bourdon tube. Bellows are suitable for measuring low pressure.

[0003] Flange connection is one of the most common connection methods for bellows. Flanges are fixed to production equipment or pipelines with bolts, offering advantages such as easy disassembly and good sealing. The flanges at both ends of the bellows are usually of the same specification. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the flange plane fits well with the outer diameter of the bellows. Tighten the bolts with a uniform torque to avoid damage caused by uneven force.

[0004] However, the existing device still has shortcomings. It cannot adapt to different pipe diameters when connected, and cannot be adjusted when encountering mismatched pipe diameters. In addition, the existing device has insufficient fixing mechanism, which makes it prone to shaking when working in the vehicle. The cable ties used for fixing are prone to becoming brittle and breaking after a long time. To solve the above problems, we propose an automotive bellows device that can adapt to different pipe diameters. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive bellows device that can adapt to different pipe diameters, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that the existing devices cannot adapt to different pipe diameters and the fixing mechanism is insufficient.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the first rubber pad abuts against the second fixing ring, and the top of the second rubber pad abuts against the third fixing ring, thereby improving the sealing performance of the connection.

[0012] Preferably, the height of the third fixing ring is higher than the height of the second fixing ring, and the third fixing ring protrudes from the surface of the first fixing ring to facilitate device connection.

[0013] Preferably, the fourth fixing ring has locking blocks arranged at equal intervals inside, and the locking blocks are locked inside the bellows body to prevent the bellows body from sliding.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4The present invention provides an embodiment of an automotive bellows device that can adapt to different pipe diameters, comprising a bellows body 1, a diameter changing mechanism 2 provided on the surface of the bellows body 1, and a fixing mechanism 3 provided on the surface of the bellows body 1.

[0027] The variable diameter mechanism 2 includes a first fixing ring 210, which is fixed to the surface of the bellows body 1. A first fixing block 220 is fixed to the surface of the first fixing ring 210, and a first rubber pad 230 is fixed to the surface of the first fixing block 220. A second fixing ring 240 is provided on the surface of the first fixing ring 210. A second fixing block 250 is fixed inside the first fixing ring 210, and a second rubber pad 260 is fixed to the surface of the second fixing block 250. A third fixing ring 270 is inserted inside the first fixing ring 210.

[0028] The fixing mechanism 3 includes a fourth fixing ring 310, which is disposed on the surface of the bellows body 1. A connecting rod 320 is fixed on the surface of the fourth fixing ring 310, and a locking block 330 is fixed inside the fourth fixing ring 310.

[0029] The surface of the first fixing ring 210 is provided with threads, and the interior of the second fixing ring 240 is provided with a threaded hole that matches the first fixing ring 210. The first fixing ring 210 is inserted into the interior of the second fixing ring 240, and the first fixing ring 210 and the second fixing ring 240 are threadedly connected. The interior of the first fixing ring 210 is provided with a threaded hole. The surface of the third fixing ring 270 is provided with threads, and the third fixing ring 270 is inserted into the interior of the first fixing ring 210. The first fixing ring 210 and the third fixing ring 270 are threadedly connected. The threaded connection between the second fixing ring 240 and the first fixing ring 210 enlarges the connection port of the bellows body 1, allowing the bellows body 1 to be connected to pipes with larger diameters. The threaded connection between the third fixing ring 270 and the first fixing ring 210 reduces the pipe opening of the bellows body 1, allowing the bellows body 1 to be connected to pipes with smaller diameters.

[0030] The top of the first rubber pad 230 abuts against the second fixing ring 240, and the top of the second rubber pad 260 abuts against the third fixing ring 270, so that the second fixing ring 240 and the third fixing ring 270 have better sealing performance after installation, and it is not easy for objects inside the corrugated pipe body 1 to leak out. The height of the third fixing ring 270 is higher than the height of the second fixing ring 240. The third fixing ring 270 protrudes from the surface of the first fixing ring 210, so that the outside of the third fixing ring 270 can also be connected to the pipe opening, improving the connection method of the device with pipes of different diameters.

[0031] The fourth fixing ring 310 has equidistant locking blocks 330 inside. The locking blocks 330 are locked inside the bellows body 1, which fixes the fourth fixing ring 310 to the bellows body 1 and prevents the bellows body 1 from sliding inside the locking blocks 330. A connecting rod 320 is fixed on the surface of the fourth fixing ring 310. The connecting rod 320 has a circular through hole inside, which makes it easy to fix the connecting rod 320 to the vehicle with bolts, so that the bellows body 1 will not shake.

[0032] Working principle: When this device is working, both the inner and outer sides of the third fixing ring 270 can adapt to different pipe diameters. Rotating the third fixing ring 270 removes it. Figure 5 As shown, the inner side of the first fixing ring 210 can adapt to a certain pipe diameter, and the outer side of the second fixing ring 240 can adapt to a certain pipe diameter. The second fixing ring 240 is rotated and removed, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, the outer side of the first fixing ring 210 can be fitted with a pipe diameter, allowing the device to adapt to different pipe diameters. The connecting rod 320 is fixed inside the vehicle with bolts, making the device less prone to shaking inside the vehicle. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.

[0033] 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.
