[0039] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0040] like Figure 1-4As shown, a composite high-strength end cap includes an end cap body 1, an outer edge plate 2 is provided on the outer side of the open end of the end cap body 1, and an annular groove 10 is provided on the inner side; a reinforcing plate assembly 3 is nested inside the end cap body 1.

[0041] The reinforcing plate assembly 3 includes a base layer 31, a reinforcing layer 32, and a functional layer 33, which are sequentially composited from the inside out;

[0042] The base layer 31 serves as a supporting structure, the reinforcing layer 32 serves as a weight-reducing and reinforcing structure, and the functional layer 33 is corrosion-resistant; the base layer 31, the reinforcing layer 32, and the functional layer 33 are compositely formed by explosive welding.

[0043] After the reinforcing plate assembly 3 is connected to the head body 1, its open end surface is at the same level as the surface of the annular groove 10.

[0044] The annular groove 10 is provided with a locking ring 4 that is threadedly connected to the head body 1. The locking ring 4 is used to limit the degree of freedom of the reinforcing plate assembly 3 to move axially relative to the head body 1.

[0045] In this embodiment, during manufacturing and installation, the reinforcing plate assembly 3 is first nested inside the head body 1, and then the reinforcing plate assembly 3 is locked inside the head body 1 by threaded connection between the locking ring 4 and the annular groove 10 of the head assembly. The structure is simple and the manufacturing and assembly are convenient and quick.

[0046] In this embodiment, the base layer 31, the reinforcing layer 32, and the functional layer 33 are compositely formed by explosive welding. Compared with the multi-layer nested structure of the prior art, this eliminates the multi-layer nested assembly process, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the strength of the end cap while reducing the overall weight of the end cap.

[0047] Furthermore, as shown in 1, 2, 3, and 4, the base layer 31 is a low-carbon steel plate, the reinforcing layer 32 is a honeycomb aluminum plate or a carbon fiber reinforced composite material plate, and the functional layer 33 is a corrosion-resistant alloy layer.

[0048] In this embodiment, the base layer 31 is a 2-3mm low-carbon steel plate, the reinforcing layer 32 is a 1.5-2mm honeycomb aluminum plate, and the functional layer 33 is a 0.5-0.7mm Hastelloy alloy.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in order to achieve the threaded locking connection between the locking ring 4 and the end cap body 1, the side of the annular groove 10 is provided with a first thread (not shown in the figure), and the outer circumferential surface of the locking ring 4 is provided with a second thread (not shown in the figure).

[0050] The locking ring 4 has a second thread on its outer circumference, and the locking ring 4 is threadedly connected to the end cap body 1 through the first thread and the second thread.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in order to improve the vibration resistance and loosening resistance of the connection between the locking ring 4 and the end cap body 1, the first thread and the second thread are tapered thread structures.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in order to improve the sealing between the reinforcing plate assembly 3 and the end cap body 1, a first annular concave surface 20 is provided on the surface of the annular groove 10, and a second annular concave surface 30 is provided on the open end surface of the reinforcing plate assembly 3 near the first concave surface. The first annular concave surface 20 and the second annular concave surface 30 form a first sealing groove 40.

[0053] A first sealing element 5 is provided in the first sealing groove 40.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in order to improve sealing reliability and vibration resistance, the cross-section of the first sealing groove 40 is an inverted trapezoid.

[0055] The first sealing element 5 is made of fluororubber, and the cross-section of the first sealing element 5 is circular or inverted trapezoidal.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the surface of the locking ring 4 is provided with a plurality of auxiliary rods 41;

[0057] In this embodiment, the auxiliary rod 41 serves as the force point when the locking ring 4 is threadedly connected to the end cap body 1, making it easy to lock or loosen the locking ring 4 and the end cap body 1 by using external tools, ensuring that the locking is in place.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to restrict the rotation of the reinforcing plate assembly 3 relative to the head body 1, a limiting groove 50 is provided around the outer periphery of the opening end of the reinforcing plate assembly 3, and a limiting protrusion 60 is provided on the head body 1 to cooperate with the limiting groove 50.

[0059] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a connecting pipe 6 is provided at the end of the reinforcing plate assembly 3 away from the opening;

[0060] The connecting pipe 6 has a safety valve 7 installed at one end of the end cap body 1, and a baffle 8 installed on the outer side of the other end.

[0061] In this embodiment, the baffle 8 effectively decomposes the high-pressure impact force on the end cap, and the safety valve 7 can automatically release pressure when the upper limit of high pressure is reached inside the end cap, thereby improving safety.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a second sealing groove 70 is provided on the surface of the outer edge plate 2, and a second sealing element 80 is provided in the second sealing groove 70;

[0063] The outer edge plate 2 is provided with threaded holes 21 for connecting with external pipe fittings.

[0064] In this embodiment, the threaded hole 21 allows the outer edge plate 2 to be directly flange-connected to the round pipe to be sealed, and the second sealing groove 70 is provided with a second sealing element 80, so that the end cap can achieve a detachable sealing connection.

[0065] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
