Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-metallic compensator technology, specifically to a connection structure for a non-metallic compensator. Background Technology

[0002] Non-metallic compensators, whose main working element is made of non-metallic material, are usually made of fiber fabric, hence they are also called fabric compensators (expansion joints, telescopic joints). Rubber is also available; this material can replace fiber fabric in various operating conditions, except when it cannot meet the requirements at extremely high temperatures (400 degrees Celsius).

[0003] Traditional non-metallic compensator connection structures typically employ conventional flange connections or simple welding methods. However, these traditional connection methods often require a large number of bolts for tightening, which not only makes the installation process cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, but also makes operation extremely inconvenient in some space-constrained installation environments, seriously affecting installation efficiency. Therefore, a new connection structure for non-metallic compensators is proposed to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a connection structure for a non-metallic compensator, addressing the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a connection structure of a non-metallic compensator, including a non-metallic compensator body, two connecting rings 1 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the non-metallic compensator body, pipes respectively provided on the left and right sides of the non-metallic compensator body, a connecting ring 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of each pipe, and a connecting mechanism provided on each connecting ring 1.

[0006] The connecting mechanism includes an L-shaped clamping plate and a limiting block. The L-shaped clamping plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first connecting ring. A spring is fixedly connected to the right side of the L-shaped clamping plate. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the right end of the spring. A limiting rod is fixedly connected to the left side of the protrusion. The limiting block is fixedly connected to the right side of the second connecting ring, and the left end of the limiting rod passes through the L-shaped clamping plate and is inserted into the limiting block.

[0007] Preferably, a limiting hole is provided on the right side of the limiting block, and the left end of the limiting rod is inserted into the limiting hole.

[0008] Preferably, the right front of the limiting block is inclined, and the left end of the limiting rod is arc-shaped.

[0009] Preferably, each of the connecting rings has two sets of connecting mechanisms arranged in an equally spaced circular pattern.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing gasket is provided at the contact point between the non-metallic compensator body and the pipeline, and the sealing gasket is made of rubber.

[0011] Preferably, the two connecting rings are provided with an adjustment mechanism, which includes: a first ear plate and a second ear plate. The first ear plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first connecting ring on the right side, and the second ear plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first connecting ring on the left side. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the left side of the first ear plate, and the left end of the lead screw passes through the second ear plate and extends to the left. Two locking nuts are threaded to the outer wall of the lead screw and are located on the left and right sides of the second ear plate, respectively.

[0012] Preferably, there are two sets of adjustment mechanisms, which are arranged opposite to each other on the outside of the non-metallic compensator body.

[0013] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This non-metallic compensator connection structure involves rotating the non-metallic compensator body to rotate the first connecting ring, which in turn rotates the L-shaped clamping plate. This causes the left end of the limiting rod to move along the right inclined surface of the limiting block, pushing the limiting rod against the protrusion and stretching the spring. When the limiting rod reaches the limiting hole, the spring's own elastic force causes the limiting rod to insert into the limiting hole, thus limiting the L-shaped clamping plate and the limiting block. This achieves a quick connection between the first connecting ring and the second connecting ring, and consequently, a quick connection between the non-metallic compensator body and the pipeline. It eliminates the need for numerous bolts, making operation simple and quick, and significantly improving the installation efficiency of the non-metallic compensator body and the pipeline. It is particularly suitable for installation environments with limited space.

[0015] 2. The connection structure of this non-metallic compensator effectively fills the gap between the non-metallic compensator body and the pipeline through the set sealing gasket to prevent media leakage. By rotating the locking nut to adjust the position of the ear plate two on the screw, the ear plate two drives the connecting ring one connected to it to move, thereby facilitating the operator to adjust the length of the non-metallic compensator body and ensuring the integrity of the device's functionality.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a connection structure for a non-metallic compensator, including a non-metallic compensator body 1, with two connecting rings 2 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the non-metallic compensator body 1, pipes 3 respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the non-metallic compensator body 1, and connecting rings 4 fixedly connected to the outer wall of each pipe 3. Each connecting ring 2 is provided with a connecting mechanism 5, and there are two sets of connecting mechanisms 5 provided on each connecting ring 2, arranged in a circumferentially at equal intervals; the connecting mechanism 5 includes: an L-shaped clamping plate 51 and a limiting block 55, the L-shaped clamping plate 51 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting ring 2, a spring 52 being fixedly connected to the right side of the L-shaped clamping plate 51, a protrusion 53 being fixedly connected to the right end of the spring 52, a limiting rod 54 being fixedly connected to the left side of the protrusion 53, the limiting block 55 being fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting ring 4, and the left end of the limiting rod 54 penetrating the L-shaped clamping plate 51 and inserted into the limiting block 55, and a limiting hole 56 being opened on the right side of the limiting block 55. The left end of the positioning rod 54 is inserted into the limiting hole 56. The right front of the limiting block 55 is set in an inclined plane, and the left end of the limiting rod 54 is set in an arc shape. The limiting rod 54 slides along the inclined plane of the limiting block 55 for easy connection. By rotating the non-metallic compensator body 1, the connecting ring 2 is rotated, and the connecting ring 2 drives the L-shaped clamping plate 51 to rotate, thereby causing the left end of the limiting rod 54 to move along the right inclined plane of the limiting block 55. This causes the limiting rod 54 to push against the protrusion 53 and stretch the spring 52. When the limiting rod 54 reaches the position of the limiting hole 56, the limiting rod 54 is inserted into the limiting hole 56 under the elastic force of the spring 52, thereby limiting the L-shaped clamping plate 51 and the limiting block 55, thus realizing the quick connection between the connecting ring 1 2 and the connecting ring 2 4, and thus realizing the quick connection between the non-metallic compensator body 1 and the pipeline 3. No need for a large number of bolts to tighten, the operation is simple and quick, and the installation efficiency of the non-metallic compensator body 1 and the pipeline 3 is greatly improved, especially suitable for installation environments with limited space.

[0026] Working principle: Rotating the non-metallic compensator body 1 drives the connecting ring 2 to rotate, which in turn drives the L-shaped clamping plate 51 to rotate. This causes the left end of the limiting rod 54 to move along the right inclined surface of the limiting block 55, thereby pushing the limiting rod 54 against the protrusion 53 and stretching the spring 52. When the limiting rod 54 reaches the limiting hole 56, the spring 52's own elastic force causes the limiting rod 54 to insert into the limiting hole 56, thus limiting the L-shaped clamping plate 51 and the limiting block 55. This achieves a quick connection between the connecting ring 2 and the connecting ring 4, and consequently, a quick connection between the non-metallic compensator body 1 and the pipeline 3.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of this utility model, a sealing gasket 6 is provided at the contact point between the non-metallic compensator body 1 and the pipe 3. The sealing gasket 6 is made of rubber. The sealing gasket 6 effectively fills the gap between the non-metallic compensator body 1 and the pipe 3, preventing media leakage. Adjustment mechanisms 7 are provided on the two connecting rings 1-2. The adjustment mechanism 7 includes: ear plate 1-71 and ear plate 2-72. Ear plate 1-71 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the right connecting ring 1-2, and ear plate 2-72 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the left connecting ring 1-2. The left ear plate 1-71... A lead screw 73 is fixedly connected to the side, and the left end of the lead screw 73 passes through the ear plate 2 72 and extends to the left. Two locking nuts 74 are threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 73, and are located on the left and right sides of the ear plate 2 72 respectively. There are two sets of adjustment mechanisms 7, which are arranged opposite to each other on the outside of the non-metallic compensator body 1. By rotating the locking nuts 74, the position of the ear plate 2 72 on the lead screw 73 is adjusted, thereby causing the ear plate 2 72 to drive the connecting ring 2 connected to it to move, so as to facilitate the operator to adjust the length of the non-metallic compensator body 1 and ensure the integrity of the device's functionality.

[0028] Working principle: The sealing gasket 6 effectively fills the gap between the non-metallic compensator body 1 and the pipeline 3 to prevent media leakage. By rotating the locking nut 74, the position of the ear plate 72 on the screw 73 is adjusted, thereby causing the ear plate 72 to move the connecting ring 2 connected to it. This makes it convenient for the staff to adjust the length of the non-metallic compensator body 1 and ensure the integrity of the device's functionality.

[0029] It is worth noting that the non-metallic compensator body 1 in the above embodiments is a commonly used device in the prior art. The model and other features can be customized according to actual usage requirements. In addition, the power supply interface of the electrical equipment in this utility model is connected to the power supply system through a switch (not shown in the figure) and a wire (not shown in the figure) to realize its control.
