Due to its flexibility and adaptability, flexible hose fluid transport plays an irreplaceable role in many industries. However, it also faces challenges such as susceptibility to breakage at bends and reduced cross-sectional area.

[0004] Existing solutions often mitigate these problems by increasing pipe wall thickness or using rigid connection structures. However, these methods sacrifice hose flexibility, making them difficult to adapt to dynamic operating conditions, and incur high installation and maintenance costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of flow protection device that can protect hose kinks while also ensuring flexible adaptability and installation efficiency to meet the fluid transport needs in complex scenarios across various fields.

[0033] The following reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment describes a fluid hose angle protection device, including a hose body assembly 10, a mounting bracket 21, an angle adjustment assembly 30, and a base assembly 40.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the base assembly 40 includes a base 42, and the mounting bracket 21 is hinged to the base 42 about a rotation axis. In one embodiment of this application, the base assembly 40 further includes a rotating disk 42, the base 42 is hinged to the mounting bracket 21 via the rotating disk 42, the axis of the rotating disk 42 is the rotation axis, and the mounting bracket 21 can rotate about the rotation axis.

[0035] In this embodiment, the base 42 is connected to the external fixed base via a second fastener 43. Specifically, the base 42 has a side-opening U-shaped structure. One end of the base 42 is used to connect to the rotating disk 42, and the other end of the base 42 is connected to the external fixed base via the second fastener 43. The second fastener 43 is a bolt and nut fastener, which can be made of stainless steel.

[0036] The tube assembly 10 includes a central connecting tube 11 and two folded hoses 12 at both ends. The connecting tube 11 is fixed to the mounting bracket 21, meaning the tube assembly 10 can rotate around its axis of rotation. One end of each folded hose 12 is connected to the end of the connecting tube 11, and the other end is connected to a pipe interface 13 for hose connection. The two hoses are connected via a fluid hose bend and flow protection device. The folded hose 12 is made of a polymer material, such as polyethylene. Those skilled in the art can select other polymer materials depending on the application. The inner wall of the folded hose 12 has a streamlined design, meaning it has a tubular structure and is thickened.

[0037] The pipe interface 13 is provided with a mounting and fixing part 14. The angle adjustment component 30 is used to adjust the angle between the folded flexible hose 12 and the connecting pipe body 11. Specifically, the angle adjustment component 30 includes multiple mounting holes 33 provided on the mounting bracket 21 and two support frames 31 respectively hinged to each mounting and fixing part 14. One end of the support frame 31 is fixed to the mounting and fixing part 14, and the other end of the support frame 31 is connected to the mounting holes 33 at different positions through a first fastener 32 to change the connection position between the support frame 31 and the mounting bracket 21, thereby adjusting the angle between the folded flexible hose 12 and the connecting pipe body 11. Specifically, the first fastener 32 is a pin, which can be quickly installed, connected, and disassembled.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting holes 33 are arranged in two rows, left and right, with each row of mounting holes 33 corresponding to a support frame 31. Based on the actual pipe bend required on site, the first fastener 32 on the support frame 31 is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 32 on the mounting bracket 21.

[0039] In addition, in the side view, both the support frame 31 and the mounting bracket 21 are "Y" shaped with semi-circular upper openings. They are fixedly connected to the mounting and fixing part 14 and the connecting pipe body 11 respectively, and there is no relative movement between them.

[0040] In some embodiments, the pipe interface 13 is configured as an adjustable interface to accommodate hoses of common pipe gauges. Specifically, the pipe interface 13 includes multiple reducing pipe fittings 131, each adaptable to hoses of different diameters. Adjacent reducing pipe fittings 131 are connected by a threaded structure, and the diameter of the pipe fitting 13 decreases from the connection point with the folded hose 12 towards the end. For a single reducing pipe fitting 131, the diameter gradually decreases from the head to the tail.

[0041] Adjacent reducing tubular fittings 131 are connected by a threaded structure, wherein, for example... Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the pipe interface 13 includes four reducing pipe fittings 131. The first reducing pipe fitting 131 connects to the folded flexible hose 12, the second reducing pipe fitting 131 is matched with a DN80 diameter flexible hose, the third reducing pipe fitting 131 is matched with a DN70 diameter flexible hose, and the fourth reducing pipe fitting 131 is matched with a DN65 diameter flexible hose. (Refer to...) Figure 3 To understand this, the threaded structure connecting adjacent reducing pipe joints 131 includes an external thread 132 provided at the tail of one reducing pipe joint 131 and an internal thread 133 provided at the head of the other reducing pipe joint 131, wherein the external thread 132 and the internal thread 133 of the threaded structure are matched.

[0042] Additionally, the reducing fitting 131 has a radially outwardly extending limiting flange 134 for hose binding. In application, a suitable reducing fitting 131 is selected according to the hose specifications and installed onto the hose assembly 10; reducing fittings 131 with smaller interfaces are removed. After fitting the hose onto the corresponding reducing fitting 131, the hose is bound to the reducing fitting 131 with a clamp; the limiting flange 134 can be used for clamp binding and limiting.

[0043] In some embodiments, the fluid hose bend protection device further includes a buffer assembly 50, which includes a pressurized water bladder 51 mounted on the connecting pipe body 11. The interior of the pressurized water bladder 51 is connected to the interior of the connecting pipe body 11. The pressurized water bladder 51 is mounted on the connecting pipe body 11 via a threaded interface 52. When fluid flows through, a vacuum buffer zone is formed inside the pressurized water bladder 51 to prevent the fluid from directly impacting the bend of the connecting pipe body and thus avoiding loss of kinetic energy. If the pressurized water bladder 51 is placed at the highest point of the bend, a water pressure difference can be formed, increasing the water flow velocity through the fluid's own weight.

[0044] The steps for using the above-mentioned fluid hose bend guard device are as follows:

[0045] S1, according to the position of the bend, a fluid hose bend protection device is set. If it needs to be fixed, the base 41 is connected to the external fixed base.

[0046] S2. Select a suitable reducing pipe fitting 131 according to the hose specifications, and fix the hose to the pipe interface 13 with an iron clamp.

[0047] S3, after connecting the two hoses to the pipe interfaces 13 at both ends, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, bend and fold the hose 12 according to the required angle, and then insert the first fastener 32 on the left and right support brackets 31 into the corresponding mounting holes 32 on the mounting bracket 21.

[0048] S4, install the pressurized water bladder 51 onto the connecting pipe 11.

[0049] S5, open the gate to supply water.

[0050] The fluid hose corner protection device in this embodiment does not easily cause corner bending like previous hoses. It can significantly reduce water leakage caused by bending, solve the problems of easy damage and reduced cross-sectional area at the corner of the hose, and improve the transportation efficiency of fluid hose.

[0051] This embodiment also presents a floating wind power platform, including the aforementioned fluid hose angle protection device.

[0052] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
