Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe joint technology, specifically to an adjustable angle fiberglass pipe connection joint. Background Technology
[0002] Fiberglass pipe, also known as fiberglass spiral wound pipe, mainly uses fiberglass and its products as reinforcing materials, unsaturated polyester resin and epoxy resin as basic materials, and inorganic non-metallic particulate materials such as quartz sand and calcium carbonate as fillers. Fiberglass pipe is a rigid pipe, and two sets of fiberglass pipes need to be connected using connectors. Traditional connectors include elbows, tees, and crosses, but the bending angle of these connectors is all 90 degrees, which cannot adapt to different connection angles and is not very flexible. Furthermore, when traditional connectors are damaged and need to be replaced, the pipe needs to be sealed, which will cause equipment downtime and affect production efficiency. To improve this situation, an adjustable angle fiberglass pipe connector is proposed.
[0003] For example, the pipe connector with adjustable angle disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN219734595U includes a connector body, a first connecting end provided at one end of the connector body, a second connecting end provided at the other end of the connector body, a bending part provided in the middle of the connector body, a fixing plate connected to one side of the outer end of the first connecting end, and an extension plate movably connected to one side of the fixing plate.
[0004] Although the bending part is made of a corrugated pipe, which facilitates the bending adjustment of the first connecting end and the second connecting end, after the position angle of the first connecting end and the second connecting end is adjusted, the hook at one end of the extension plate is connected to the fixing ring on the outer side of the second connecting end, and one end of the fixing plate is hinged to the hinge seat on the outer side of the first connecting end. At this time, the fixing plate and the extension plate will be fixedly connected between the first connecting end and the second connecting end in an inclined position, so that the first connecting end and the second connecting end cannot move on their own after the position angle of the first connecting end and the second connecting end are adjusted.
[0005] However, this does not solve the problem that existing pipe fittings are not conducive to flexible adjustment to adapt to different connection angles and positions during use, are not conducive to connecting FRP pipes at different angles, and are not conducive to replacing corrugated hoses without stopping the machine, thus affecting the flexibility of use. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an adjustable angle fiberglass pipe connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the pipe connectors being inconvenient to flexibly adjust to adapt to different connection angles and positions, which is not conducive to connecting fiberglass pipes at different angles and replacing corrugated hoses without stopping the machine, thus affecting the flexibility of use.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable angle fiberglass pipe connector, comprising a valve body and a connector pipe. The valve body consists of two sets, each with a connector pipe on its outer wall. A second connector pipe is provided on the outer wall of the valve body on one side of each connector pipe, and a first connector pipe is provided on the outer wall of the connector pipe on one side of each second connector pipe. A corrugated flexible hose is provided between the two sets of second connector pipes and the two sets of first connector pipes. Connecting buckles are movably provided at both ends of the corrugated flexible hose, and these buckles are threadedly connected to the first and second connector pipes, respectively. A flow divider block is provided inside each valve body, and a linkage shaft is provided at the center of each flow divider block, extending to the outside of the valve body and movably connected to it. A first channel and a second channel are provided inside each flow divider block, and the connector pipe communicates with the second connector pipe through the second channel, and with the first connector pipe communicates with the first connector pipe through the first channel.
[0008] Preferably, each valve body has a placement ring on its side wall, and each placement ring has multiple sets of pin holes at equal intervals on its surface.
[0009] Preferably, each of the linkage shafts has a handle on its surface, and each handle has a limit bracket on its side wall.
[0010] Preferably, each of the limiting frames is provided with a pin inside, and the pin is slidably connected to the limiting frame.
[0011] Preferably, each of the pins is provided with a spring, and the upper and lower ends of the spring are respectively connected to the pin and the limiting bracket.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the pipe joint not only realizes flexible adjustment to adapt to different connection angles and connection positions, which facilitates the connection of FRP pipes at different angles and the replacement of corrugated hoses without stopping the machine, ensuring the continuity of material conveying, but also improves the flexibility of use.
[0013] When connecting fiberglass pipes, connect the connector pipe to the fiberglass pipe. Then, connect the two sets of corrugated hoses to the two sets of second connecting pipes and the first connecting pipe using connecting buckles. The corrugated hoses are deformable; after being bent, they can maintain their shape. Therefore, by shaping the corrugated hoses, they can be adapted to different connection angles and positions for flexible connection of fiberglass pipes. The current internal pipe passage is connector pipe - second channel - second connecting pipe. If the corrugated hose connecting the second connecting pipe is damaged, to avoid pipe shutdown, pull the pin to remove it from the pin hole, turn the handle, and the handle will drive the linkage shaft to rotate. The linkage shaft will then drive the flow divider block inside the valve body. Rotate the first channel to the second connecting pipe position, changing the internal passage to connector pipe-first channel-first connecting pipe, allowing the material in the pipe to continue to be transported through the first connecting pipe, thus preventing the pipe from stopping. Loosen the pin, and with the elastic cooperation of the spring, the spring will drive the pin to move inside the limit frame. Insert the pin back through the handle into the pin hole to keep the diverter block in its current state, blocking the second connecting pipe. Then, remove the corrugated hose connecting the second connecting pipe and replace it with a new corrugated hose. This allows for flexible adjustment to adapt to different connection angles and positions, facilitating the connection of fiberglass pipes at different angles, and enabling the replacement of corrugated hoses without stopping the machine, ensuring the continuity of material transport and improving the flexibility of use.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides: an adjustable angle fiberglass pipe connector, including a valve body 1 and a connector pipe 2. The valve body 1 is in two sets, and a connector pipe 2 is provided on the outer wall of each valve body 1. A second connecting pipe 4 is provided on the outer wall of the valve body 1 on one side of the connector pipe 2, and a first connecting pipe 3 is provided on the outer wall of the connector pipe 2 on one side of the second connecting pipe 4. A corrugated hose 5 is provided between the two sets of second connecting pipes 4 and the two sets of first connecting pipes 3. A connecting buckle 6 is movably provided at both ends of the corrugated hose 5, and the connecting buckle 6 is threadedly connected to the first connecting pipe 3 and the second connecting pipe 4 respectively. A diversion block 7 is provided inside the valve body 1. A linkage shaft 12 is provided at the center of each diversion block 7, and the linkage shaft 12 extends to the outside of the valve body 1 and is movably connected to the valve body 1. A first channel 8 and a second channel 9 are provided inside each diversion block 7. The connector pipe 2 is connected to the second connecting pipe 4 through the second channel 9, and the connector pipe 2 is connected to the first connecting pipe 3 through the first channel 8.
[0022] Each valve body 1 has a placement ring 10 on its side wall, and each placement ring 10 has multiple sets of pin holes 11 at equal intervals on its surface.
[0023] All the surfaces of the linkage shaft 12 are provided with handles 13, and all the side walls of the handles 13 are provided with limit frames 16. All the limit frames 16 are provided with pins 15 inside, and the pins 15 are slidably connected to the limit frames 16. All the surfaces of the pins 15 are provided with springs 14, and the upper and lower ends of the springs 14 are connected to the pins 15 and the limit frames 16 respectively.
[0024] When connecting fiberglass pipes, first connect the connector pipe 2 to the fiberglass pipe. Then connect the two sets of corrugated hoses 5 to the two sets of second connecting pipes 4 and first connecting pipes 3 respectively through connecting buckles 6. The corrugated hoses 5 are deformable by bending. After being bent and deformed, they can maintain their shape. Therefore, by shaping the corrugated hoses 5, they can be adapted to different connection angles and positions for flexible connection of fiberglass pipes. The current internal passage of the pipeline is connector pipe 2 - second channel 9 - second connecting pipe 4. If the corrugated hose 5 connected to the second connecting pipe 4 is damaged, in order to avoid pipeline shutdown, pull up the pin 15 and pull the pin 15 out of the pin hole 11. Turn the handle 13, which drives the linkage shaft 12 to rotate. The linkage shaft 12 drives the flow divider 7 to move inside the valve body 1. The first channel 8 is rotated to the position of the second connecting pipe 4, changing the internal passage to connector pipe 2-first channel 8-first connecting pipe 3, allowing the material in the pipe to continue to be transported through the first connecting pipe 3, thus preventing the pipe from stopping. The pin 15 is released, and under the elastic cooperation of the spring 14, the spring 14 drives the pin 15 to move inside the limit frame 16. The pin 15 is then re-inserted into the pin hole 11 through the handle 13 to keep the diverter block 7 in its current state, blocking the second connecting pipe 4. After that, the corrugated hose 5 connecting the second connecting pipe 4 is removed and replaced with a new corrugated hose 5. This allows for flexible adjustment and adaptation to different connection angles and positions, facilitating the connection of fiberglass pipes at different angles, and making it easy to replace the corrugated hose without stopping the machine, ensuring the continuity of material transportation and improving the flexibility of use.
[0025] Working principle: When connecting fiberglass pipes, first connect the connector pipe 2 to the fiberglass pipe. Then, connect the two sets of corrugated hoses 5 to the two sets of second connecting pipes 4 and first connecting pipes 3 respectively through connecting buckles 6. The corrugated hoses 5 are deformable by bending. After being bent and deformed, they can maintain their shape. Therefore, by shaping the corrugated hoses 5, they can be adapted to different connection angles and positions for flexible connection of fiberglass pipes. The current internal pipe passage is connector pipe 2 - second channel 9 - second connecting pipe 4. If the corrugated hose 5 connecting the second connecting pipe 4 is damaged, to avoid pipe shutdown, pull up the pin 15 and pull it out of the pin hole 11. Turn the handle 13. 13 drives the linkage shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the diverter block 7 to rotate inside the valve body 1, thereby rotating the first channel 8 to the position of the second connecting pipe 4. This changes the internal passage to connector pipe 2-first channel 8-first connecting pipe 3, allowing the material in the pipe to continue to be transported through the first connecting pipe 3, thus preventing the pipe from stopping. Loosen the pin 15, and under the elastic cooperation of the spring 14, the spring 14 drives the pin 15 to move inside the limit frame 16. Insert the pin 15 back through the handle 13 into the pin hole 11 to keep the diverter block 7 in its current state, blocking the second connecting pipe 4. Then, remove the corrugated hose 5 connecting the second connecting pipe 4 and replace it with a new corrugated hose 5. The above is the complete usage of the adjustable angle fiberglass pipe connector.
