Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline connection technology, and in particular to a communication pipeline connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] In telecommunications engineering, optical cables are distributed to different areas by laying communication ducts. The communication ducts, located on the outermost layer of the optical cable, protect it from external factors such as mechanical damage, chemical corrosion, and temperature changes. The ducts provide a safe environment, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the optical cable.

[0003] When communication pipelines are laid over long distances, it is necessary to connect different pipelines. The conventional method is to connect them using flanges. This method generally requires flanges and multiple bolts to be installed at the ends of the communication pipelines. The assembly process is relatively cumbersome, and as the service life increases, the bolts are prone to loosening, the flange's sealing performance decreases, and this adversely affects the optical cables inside the communication pipelines. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model aims to provide a technical solution that can solve the problem of decreased sealing performance in different pipe connections.

[0005] A communication conduit connection structure includes an intermediate component. The intermediate component includes an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate, one end of which is rotatably connected, and the other end is fixedly connected by a locking mechanism. Both the upper and lower clamping plates have arc-shaped surfaces that mate with the communication conduit, and a rubber sleeve is provided between the arc-shaped surfaces and the communication conduit.

[0006] Furthermore, the upper and lower clamping plates are connected by hinges on the side away from the locking mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a rotating screw and a locking nut; the bottom end of the rotating screw is rotatably connected to the lower clamping plate, and the upper clamping plate is provided with an opening that cooperates with the rotating screw; the upper end of the rotating screw is provided with a threaded locking nut.

[0008] Furthermore, both the upper and lower clamping plates are provided with multiple evenly spaced reinforcing ribs.

[0009] Furthermore, a retaining strip is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped surface, and the retaining strip is attached to the end face of the communication pipe and the rubber tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the side of the curved surface away from the card strip is provided with rounded corners, and the gap between the rounded corners and the communication pipe is filled with expanding foam.

[0011] Both sides of the communication pipes in the middle component are equipped with mounting bases, and the communication pipes are fixed to the base through the mounting bases.

[0012] The mounting bracket includes a clamp and a base; the clamp is located above the base and is fixedly connected to the communication pipe by a locking bolt at the top, and the base is fixedly connected to the substrate.

[0013] An elastic pad is provided on the side of the base near the substrate; multiple symmetrically distributed anchor bolts are provided on the edge of the base, and L-shaped holes are provided on the base corresponding to the positions of the anchor bolts.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the ends of different communication pipes can be quickly connected through the intermediate component; the rubber tube fills the gap between the intermediate component and the communication pipe, and when the upper and lower clamping plates are locked by the overlocking mechanism, the rubber tube undergoes radial compression, which improves the sealing performance of the intermediate component and the communication pipe assembly; at the same time, under the action of the elastic deformation force of the rubber tube, the locking mechanism is not easy to loosen, so that the upper and lower clamping plates form a stable clamping and fixing effect on the communication pipe.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6A communication pipe connection structure includes an intermediate component 3, through which adjacent ends of different communication pipes 1 are fixedly connected. The intermediate component 3 includes an upper clamping plate 31 and a lower clamping plate 32, one end of which is rotatably connected, and the other end is fixedly connected by a locking mechanism. The intermediate component 3 allows for rapid connection of the ends of different communication pipes 1, improving the efficiency of connecting different communication pipes 1. Both the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 are provided with arc-shaped surfaces 33 that conform to the communication pipe 1. These arc-shaped surfaces 33 better fit the circular surface of the pipe, providing a better fixing effect. A rubber sleeve 5 is provided between the arc-shaped surface 33 and the communication pipe 1. The rubber sleeve 5 is generally made of elastic rubber. The outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 5 is larger than the diameter of the arc-shaped surface 33. Therefore, when the locking mechanism locks the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32, the rubber sleeve 5 undergoes radial compression deformation, improving the sealing between the intermediate component 3 and the communication pipe 1. Meanwhile, under the elastic deformation force of the rubber sleeve 5, the locking mechanism is not easy to loosen, so that the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 form a stable clamping and fixing effect on the communication pipe 1.

[0028] The upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 are connected by a hinge 34 on the side away from the locking mechanism. The opening and closing of the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 allows for the quick installation and removal of the intermediate component 3 from the communication pipe 1. The locking mechanism includes a rotating screw 321 and a locking nut 311. The rotating screw 321 is the core component of the locking mechanism; one end of the rotating screw 321 is connected to the lower clamping plate 32, providing support for rotation. The upper clamping plate 31 has an opening 36 that engages with the rotating screw 321. When the rotating screw 321 rotates into the opening 36 and the locking nut 311 at the top is tightened, the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 are locked.

[0029] Both the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 are provided with multiple evenly spaced reinforcing ribs 35. These reinforcing ribs 35 enhance the deformation resistance of the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32. A retaining strip 331 is provided in the middle of the arc-shaped surface 33, which fits against the end faces of the communication pipe 1 and the rubber tube 5. The retaining strip 331 allows for quick determination of the clamping positions of the rubber tube 5 and the communication pipe 1 within the intermediate component 3, ensuring that the intermediate component 3 applies the same degree of tightening and sealing to both sides of the communication pipe 1. The side of the arc-shaped surface 33 away from the retaining strip 331 is provided with rounded corners 332, which prevent the rubber tube 5 from being damaged due to friction when entering the intermediate component 3. The gap between the rounded corners 332 and the communication pipe 1 is filled with expanding foam 51. The expanding properties of the expanding foam 51 fill the gap between the intermediate component 3 and the pipe, improving the sealing performance of the assembly between the intermediate component 3 and the communication pipe 1. Meanwhile, the expanding foam 51 has heat insulation and waterproof properties, which provides a certain degree of protection for the glue tube 5 and extends the service life of the glue tube 5.

[0030] Both sides of the intermediate component 3 are equipped with fixing seats 2 for the communication pipes 1. The fixing seats 2 can effectively and stably fix the communication pipes 1 to the base 4. Geological changes or other external forces can easily affect the position of the communication pipes 1, thereby causing excessive load on the intermediate component 3. The fixing seats 2 can ensure that the communication pipes 1 will not move or vibrate excessively during operation, which helps to improve the overall strength of the connection structure of the communication pipes 1. The fixing seat 2 includes a clamp 21 and a base 23. The clamp 21 is located above the base 23 and is fixedly connected to the communication pipes 1 by the locking bolt 22 at the top. When the communication pipes 1 pass through the clamp 21, tightening the locking bolt 22 can fix the communication pipes 1. The base 23 is fixedly connected to the base 4 by multiple symmetrically distributed anchor bolts 233 on the side. One end of the anchor bolt 233 is generally pre-embedded in the base 4, and the other end is equipped with a nut. Tightening the nut can fix the base 23 to the base 4. The base 23 has an elastic pad 231 on the side near the base 4. The vertical deformation of the elastic pad 231 allows for fine-tuning of the height of the fixing seat 2, ensuring that different communication pipes 1 are kept at the same height. The base 23 has L-shaped holes 232 corresponding to the positions of the anchor bolts 233. With the anchor bolts 233 fixed, the fixing seat 2 can be fine-tuned on its position on the base 4 through the L-shaped holes 232, ensuring that the connected communication pipes 1 maintain coaxiality.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: a rubber sleeve 5 is fitted onto the end of different communication pipes 1, and the end of the communication pipe 1 with the rubber sleeve 5 fitted is placed on the arc surface 33 of the lower clamping plate 32; the upper clamping plate 31 is closed, the rotating screw 321 is rotated to the opening 36, and the locking nut 311 is tightened, so that the upper clamping plate 31 and the lower clamping plate 32 clamp and fix the communication pipes 1 on both sides, so that the different communication pipes 1 are connected.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
