Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick connection of fiberglass elbows, and in particular to a quick connection structure for fiberglass elbows. Background Technology

[0002] Fiberglass elbows are a new type of composite material pipe fitting made of glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP). They are widely used in many fields and are characterized by: lightweight and high strength; the material density is typically 1.8-2.0 g / cm³. 3 It is about 1 / 4 to 1 / 5 the strength of steel, but its circumferential tensile strength is ≥300MPa, which is higher than that of steel. It is easy to install and transport. At the same time, there are many types of fiberglass elbows, and the 90-degree fiberglass elbow is one of them. In the process of using fiberglass elbows, they often need to be connected to adapt to different working environments.

[0003] In related technologies, the connection process of 90-degree fiberglass elbows usually requires the cooperation of two workers. First, one operator is responsible for manually supporting the two 90-degree fiberglass elbows to ensure that they can be correctly aligned. Then, the other operator is responsible for the actual connection operation. This traditional connection method not only requires the participation of at least two workers, but also has relatively low connection efficiency due to the cumbersome operation steps, making it impossible to achieve rapid connection operations.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a quick-connect structure for fiberglass elbows to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a quick-connection structure for fiberglass elbows.

[0006] This utility model provides a quick-connect structure for fiberglass elbows, comprising:

[0007] Base plate;

[0008] Two clamping assemblies, one of which is slidably mounted on the base plate and the other is fixed on the base plate. Each clamping assembly includes two rings arranged vertically and rotatably connected to each other. A fan-shaped toothed plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper ring.

[0009] A fixing frame, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate;

[0010] A driving mechanism, comprising a driving component and a transmission component, wherein the driving component includes a transmission rod and a driving element, and the transmission component includes multiple transmission elements, and the driving element drives the sector toothed plate to rotate through the transmission rod and the transmission elements.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission component is a gear, the driving component is a motor, and the number of gears is four, of which three gears are sleeved on the transmission rod, and the other gear is mounted on the output shaft of the motor. Two of the three gears on the transmission rod are meshed with a sector-shaped gear plate and are elongated.

[0012] Preferably, it further includes a locking assembly, the locking assembly including a ratchet, the ratchet being sleeved on the surface of the transmission rod, a support plate being fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing frame, a limit plate being fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, and a pawl being rotatably connected to the side wall of the limit plate, the pawl engaging with the ratchet.

[0013] Preferably, a sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. A slider is sleeved on one end of the sliding rod, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to the other end. The fixing block is fixedly connected to the base plate. In one of the two clamping assemblies, the lower ring of the two rings in the sliding clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the slider, and the lower ring of the two rings in the other clamping assembly is fixedly connected to the fixing block. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the slider.

[0016] Compared with related technologies, the fiberglass elbow quick-connect structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. When connecting 90-degree fiberglass elbows, first place the two elbows inside the ring, start the electric push rod to make the slider slide, drive one ring to move to align with the other elbow. After alignment, the drive component rotates and transmits power to the transmission component. The gear meshing causes the long gear on the transmission rod to rotate, which in turn drives the sector tooth plate and the top ring to rotate, achieving stable clamping of the elbows, facilitating manual connection and quickly completing the connection. When the transmission rod rotates, the pawl meshes with the ratchet to ensure stability. After the drive component is turned off, the pawl locks the ratchet to prevent shaking.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 A quick-connection structure for fiberglass elbows, comprising:

[0025] Base plate 1;

[0026] Two clamping components 2, one of which is slidably mounted on the base plate 1 and the other is fixed on the base plate 1. The clamping component 2 includes two rings 3 arranged vertically and rotatably connected to each other. A fan-shaped toothed plate 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper ring 3.

[0027] Fixing bracket 5 is fixedly connected to the top of base plate 1;

[0028] The drive mechanism 6 includes a drive assembly 61 and a transmission assembly 62. The drive assembly 61 includes a transmission rod 611 and a drive component 612. The transmission assembly 62 includes multiple transmission components 621. The drive component 612 drives the sector toothed plate 4 to rotate through the transmission rod 611 and the transmission components 621.

[0029] The transmission component 621 is a gear, and the driving component 612 is a motor. There are four gears, three of which are sleeved on the transmission rod 611, and the other gear is installed on the output shaft of the motor. Two of the three gears on the transmission rod 611 mesh with the sector tooth plate 4 and are long strip-shaped.

[0030] It also includes a locking assembly 8, which includes a ratchet 81. The ratchet 81 is sleeved on the surface of the transmission rod 611. A support plate 82 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing frame 5. A limit plate 83 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 82. A pawl 84 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the limit plate 83. The pawl 84 engages with the ratchet 81.

[0031] A sliding rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A slider 9 is sleeved on one end of the sliding rod 13, and a fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the other end. The fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. In one of the two clamping assemblies 2, the lower ring 3 of the two rings 3 in the sliding clamping assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 9. The lower ring 3 of the two rings 3 in the other clamping assembly 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 12. An electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the slider 9. The fixing frame 5 is rotatably connected to the transmission rod 611, and the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 5.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, during the docking of the 90-degree fiberglass elbows, the two 90-degree fiberglass elbows must first be placed inside the ring 3 to ensure they are in the correct position. Then, the electric push rod 7 is activated, and its telescopic end drives the sliding slider 9 to slide, thereby causing one of the rings 3 to move the 90-degree fiberglass elbow to precisely align with the other 90-degree fiberglass elbow. After alignment, the motor is started, and the motor's rotational power is transmitted to the gear fixedly connected to the motor output end. The gear meshes with the gear sleeved on the surface of the transmission rod 611, causing the two long gears on the transmission rod 611 to rotate. These two long gears drive the sector tooth plate 4 to rotate, which can drive the upper part of the two rings 3... The ring 3 rotates to stably clamp the 90-degree fiberglass elbow, greatly facilitating subsequent manual connection work and enabling rapid docking. The pawl 84 initially hangs naturally in the tooth groove of the ratchet 81. When the transmission rod 611 rotates clockwise, the ratchet 81 also rotates, causing the pawl 84 to rotate. After the object to be clamped is clamped and fixed, the transmission rod 611 stops rotating. Because the ratchet 81 is restricted by the pawl 84, the transmission rod 611 will not rotate back, thus limiting the position of the transmission rod 611 and fixing the object to be clamped. When it is necessary to remove the object to be clamped, the pawl 84 is moved out of the tooth groove of the ratchet 81 to release the restriction.

[0033] It should be further explained that the slider 9 and the fixed block 12 are at the same height and their tops are at the same level. This ensures that when clamping an object, the inner walls of the two lower rings 3 are at the same height, keeping the object horizontal and facilitating docking.

[0034] refer to Figure 2 As shown, the inner walls of the two upper rings 3 in the two clamping components 2 are fixedly connected with anti-slip pads 10.

[0035] Based on the above embodiments, when clamping the ring 3 and the elbow, the anti-slip pad 10 can be used to significantly increase the friction between the contact surfaces, which can effectively prevent unnecessary shaking of the elbow during use.

[0036] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the two lower rings 3 in the two clamping assemblies 2 each have a groove 11 at one end for the upper ring 3 to slide.

[0037] Based on the above embodiments, the rotation of the sector toothed plate 4 will drive the upper ring 3 to rotate. The upper ring can rotate inside the slide groove 11, so it can clamp elbows of different pipe diameters and connect elbows of different pipe diameters. The clamping efficiency is relatively stable, thus ensuring the convenience and reliability of operation.

[0038] The working principle of the quick docking structure for fiberglass elbows provided by this utility model is as follows: When clamping the objects to be docked, the objects are placed into the rings 3 respectively. The driving component 612 drives the sector toothed plate 4 to rotate through the transmission rod 611 and the transmission component 621, thereby rotating the rings 3. This, together with the lower rings 3, achieves closure, thereby clamping and fixing the objects, thus facilitating the docking of the objects.
