Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stainless steel corrugated pipe technology, specifically to a stainless steel corrugated pipe with high flexibility and fatigue resistance. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial and civil applications, stainless steel corrugated pipes are widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, automobile manufacturing, and building water supply and drainage industries due to their corrosion resistance, extensibility, and ability to absorb vibration and displacement.

[0003] Traditional stainless steel corrugated pipes exhibit significant drawbacks in practical applications: insufficient flexibility leads to excessively large bending radii, making them difficult to arrange flexibly in complex pipelines with limited space; frequent bending easily causes stress concentration at the crests and troughs; simultaneously, poor fatigue resistance means that under long-term alternating loads, high temperatures, or corrosive media, stress concentration areas such as crests and troughs are prone to microcracks that rapidly expand over time. This not only causes frequent cracking and leakage, significantly shortening the service life of the corrugated pipe, but may also lead to serious consequences such as media leakage and equipment failure, causing production interruptions, economic losses, and even threatening personal safety and environmental stability. Therefore, we propose a highly flexible and fatigue-resistant stainless steel corrugated pipe. Utility Model Content

[0025] The specific effects of this technical solution are as follows: by setting the modified polyurea elastomer coating 111, it has high flexibility and fatigue resistance; by setting the fluorocarbon resin coating 112, the flexibility of the bellows body 1 is further improved, and the fatigue resistance is good; by setting the polytetrafluoroethylene coating 121, it has high flexibility, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance; and by setting the perfluoroalkoxy resin coating 122, the flexibility, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the bellows body 1 are further improved.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the right side of the corrugated pipe body 1 is connected to the first connecting plate 2. The right side of the first connecting plate 2 is provided with the second connecting plate 3. The right side of the second connecting plate 3 is connected to the connecting pipe 4. The other side of the second connecting plate 3 is provided with the bolt 5. The left side of the bolt 5 passes through the second connecting plate 3 and the first connecting plate 2 in sequence and extends to the left side of the first connecting plate 2. The left side of the bolt 5 is threaded with the nut 6. The left side of the first connecting plate 2 and the right side of the second connecting plate 3 are both fixedly connected with the spring 7. The side of the spring 7 is fixedly connected with the connecting bracket 8. The side of the connecting bracket 8 is fixedly connected with the limit bracket 10. The surfaces of the bolt 5 and the nut 6 are both inserted with the limit bracket 10. The left side of the first connecting plate 2 and the right side of the second connecting plate 3 are both fixedly connected with the damper 9. The side of the damper 9 is fixedly connected with the connecting bracket 8. The right side of the first connecting plate 2 is provided with the sealing ring, and the right side of the sealing ring is in contact with the second connecting plate 3.

[0028] The specific function of this technical solution is as follows: During installation, the connecting frame 8 is moved outward, and the connecting frame 8 drives the limiting frame 10 to move, aligning the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3. Then, the bolt 5 is passed through the second connecting plate 3 and the first connecting plate 2 in sequence. Then, the nut 6 is connected to the bolt 5. Then, the connecting frame 8 is loosened.

By setting the perfluoroalkoxy resin coating 122, the flexibility, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the bellows body 1 are further improved.

[0030] During installation, the connecting frame 8 is moved outward, which in turn moves the limiting frame 10 to align the first connecting plate 2 and the second connecting plate 3. Then, the bolt 5 is passed through the second connecting plate 3 and the first connecting plate 2 in sequence. The nut 6 is then connected to the bolt 5. The connecting frame 8 is then released. At this time, the tension of the spring 7 and the damper 9 drives the connecting frame 8 to move, which in turn drives the limiting frame 10 to move, thereby limiting the bolt 5 and the nut 6 to prevent loosening.
