Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of flared flange fastening devices, and in particular to a convenient fastening device for flared flange fasteners. Background Technology

[0002] A flange, also called a flange disc or flange, is a part used to connect shafts, for connecting pipe ends; flanges are also used on equipment inlets and outlets to connect two pieces of equipment, such as speed reducer flanges, while flared flanges are one type of flange.

[0003] However, the traditional flared flange installation has the following aspects that need improvement:

[0004] 1. Existing flared flanges often require the simultaneous use of a fork wrench and an Allen wrench for tightening, which makes installation or tightening impossible in confined spaces.

[0005] 2. Existing flared flange installation requires two hands to operate simultaneously, but on-site conditions are generally complex, and many locations cannot be operated with two wrenches at the same time, greatly reducing the efficiency of flange installation. Furthermore, tightening flared flanges requires a large space, and both hex wrenches and fork wrenches require consideration of hand reach, involving many operational precautions and making the operation cumbersome and unsuitable for practical application. Therefore, a convenient fastening device for flared flanges is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a convenient fastening device for flared flanges. This device can solve the problem that the installation of flared flanges in complex working conditions greatly reduces the efficiency of flange installation, and that there are many precautions to be taken, making the operation cumbersome and unsuitable for practical application and operation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a convenient fastening device for flared flanges, comprising a flared flange A and a convenient fastening device. The convenient fastening device includes a device housing, telescopic plates, hexagonal locking blocks, a return spring, a receiving groove, a limiting block, and a limiting groove. The device housing is disposed on one side of the flared flange A. There are two telescopic plates, both slidably connected inside the device housing. The number of hexagonal locking blocks is the same as the number of telescopic plates, and they are all fixedly connected to the surface of the corresponding telescopic plates. The return spring is fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two telescopic plates. The receiving groove is opened inside the device housing, and the return spring is located inside the receiving groove. There are multiple limiting blocks, each fixedly connected to both sides of the corresponding telescopic plate. The number of limiting grooves is the same as the number of limiting blocks, and they are all opened on the surface of the device housing. Each limiting block is slidably connected inside the corresponding limiting groove.

[0008] Preferably, a flared flange B is provided on one side of the flared flange A, and a plurality of flange mounting screws are slidably connected inside the flared flange A and the flared flange B.

The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient fastening device for flared flanges, including a flared flange A1 and a convenient fastening device 6. The convenient fastening device 6 includes a device housing 11, telescopic plates 12, hexagonal blocks 13, a return spring 14, a receiving groove 15, a limiting block 16, and a limiting groove 17. The device housing 11 is disposed on one side of the flared flange A1. There are two telescopic plates 12, both of which are slidably connected inside the device housing 11. The number of hexagonal blocks 13 is the same as that of the telescopic plates 12, and they are all fixedly connected to the surface of the corresponding telescopic plates 12. The return spring 14 is fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two telescopic plates 12. The receiving groove 15 is opened inside the device housing 11, and the return spring 14 is located inside the receiving groove 15. There are multiple limiting blocks 16, which are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the corresponding telescopic plates 12. The number of limiting grooves 17 is the same as that of the limiting blocks 16, and they are all opened on the surface of the device housing 11. Each limiting block 16 is slidably connected inside the corresponding limiting groove 17.

[0028] Furthermore, a flared flange B2 is provided on one side of the flared flange A1. Multiple flange mounting screws 7 are slidably connected inside the flared flanges A1 and B2. Each flange mounting screw 7 has a mounting screw head 8 fixedly connected to its surface. Each flange mounting screw 7 has a flange mounting nut 10 threaded onto its surface. The mounting screw head 8 has a hexagonal groove 9 on its surface. The hexagonal groove 9 is adapted to the shape of the hexagonal locking block 13. The hexagonal locking block 13 is slidably connected inside the hexagonal groove 9. The structures of the flared flanges A1 and B2 are completely identical. Multiple flange mounting holes 4 are provided on the surface of both the flared flanges A1 and B2. Each flange mounting screw 7 is located inside the corresponding flange mounting hole 4. Flange through holes 3 are provided on the surface of both the flared flanges A1 and B2. A flared steel pipe 5 is provided inside the flange through hole 3.

[0029] Furthermore, when installing flared flanges A1 and B2, first insert each flange mounting screw 7 into flared flange A1 and flared flange B2 through the flange mounting hole 4. Then, thread the flange mounting nut 10 onto the flange mounting screw 7. Simultaneously press both ends of the convenient fastening device 6 to bring the two telescopic plates 12 closer together, thereby squeezing the return spring 14. After adjusting the two hexagonal locking blocks 13 to a suitable distance, insert them into the hexagonal grooves 9 on the corresponding mounting screw heads 8. At this time, the rotation of the two flange mounting screws 7 on one side can be restricted at the same time. Then, use a fork wrench with one hand to rotate the flange mounting nut 10, thereby tightening flared flanges A1 and B2. When tightening one of the flange mounting nuts 10, the convenient fastening device 6 will tend to rotate. When it is about to rotate, it will be limited by the hexagonal locking block 13 on the other end and locked, so as not to affect the use of the fork wrench, reducing the use of the hexagonal wrench and adapting to flared flanges of different sizes.

[0030] Furthermore, the convenient fastening device 6 allows the flange mounting nut 10 to limit the rotation of the flange mounting screw 7 when tightening. It is easy to operate, does not take up space, and can simultaneously limit the rotation of two flange mounting screws 7, resulting in higher efficiency. It can achieve single-handed tightening, thereby avoiding the phenomenon that the flange cannot be tightened or is not tightened due to insufficient space. It solves the problem that the installation efficiency of flared flanges is greatly reduced in complex working conditions, and that there are many precautions to be taken when operating the flanges, making the operation cumbersome and unsuitable for practical application and operation.
