Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fluid transport pipeline accessories, specifically a flange kit for bottom drainage. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of fluid transport pipeline fittings technology, flange kits, as key components connecting pipelines and equipment drain outlets, directly affect the operating efficiency of the drainage system through their sealing performance and installation stability. Especially in bottom drainage scenarios of equipment such as water tanks and reactors, flange kits need to withstand multiple tests such as sewage impact, pipeline vibration, and media corrosion over a long period of time, thus placing stringent requirements on their sealing performance and structural adaptability.
[0003] In existing technologies, traditional bottom-drain flanges mostly employ a single sealing ring secured with bolts. However, this type of structure has significant limitations in practical applications: firstly, the single-seal structure is prone to aging and displacement of the sealing ring due to long-term use, or uneven bolt tightening during installation can lead to poor sealing surface contact, resulting in sewage leakage. This not only affects the normal operation of the equipment but may also cause corrosion of surrounding components due to leaked sewage, increasing maintenance costs. Secondly, some flange kits, during the docking process with the bottom drain port of the equipment, lack a restraining structure for the sealing ring. When the fluid pressure inside the pipeline fluctuates, the sealing ring is prone to shifting, further weakening the sealing effect. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a bottom-drain flange kit to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flange kit for bottom drainage to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A bottom-drainage flange kit includes a flange body, a drain pipe, an arc-shaped clamping plate, a first sealing ring, and a second sealing ring. The flange body has a first sealing groove at its upper end, in which the first sealing ring is fitted. The flange body also has a second sealing groove at its lower end, in which the second sealing ring is fitted. A central hole, penetrating vertically, is located in the center of the flange body, into which the drain pipe is inserted. Both the first and second sealing rings are fitted onto the outer wall of the drain pipe. The lower end of the flange body has two sliding grooves, each containing a slider. An arc-shaped clamping plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of each slider. A sealing groove is located on one side of each arc-shaped clamping plate, in which the second sealing ring is fitted.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: each of the sliding grooves is provided with a threaded rod, wherein the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the flange body, and the slider is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. A rotating disk is provided on the outer wall of one end of the threaded rod, wherein the rotating disk is fixedly connected to the threaded rod.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the first sealing ring is provided with several sets of through holes II, and the flange body is provided with several sets of through holes I, wherein the through holes I and the through holes II correspond one-to-one.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the flange body is provided with several sets of fixing screws, wherein the fixing screws pass through the through hole one and the through hole two, and the flange can be fixed to the drain outlet at the bottom of the water tank by the fixing screws.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: several sets of limiting blocks are fixedly connected to the second sealing groove, and several sets of limiting grooves are opened at the upper end of the second sealing ring, wherein the limiting blocks are stuck in the limiting grooves to prevent the second sealing ring from moving.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. Multiple sealing synergy: A dual sealing structure is set up with sealing groove one and the first sealing ring, and sealing groove two and the second sealing ring, to build a sealing defense line from the upper and lower ends of the flange body; the first sealing ring is inserted into sealing groove one, fitting the outer wall of the sewage pipe and the upper end face of the flange; the second sealing ring is embedded in sealing groove two, and with the sealing groove of the arc-shaped clamping plate, it accurately seals the lower end of the sewage pipe and the gap between the flange and the mounting surface. At the same time, the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove of the second sealing ring to limit the displacement of the sealing ring, ensuring continuous and effective sealing, preventing sewage leakage from multiple dimensions, and adapting to complex sewage discharge environments.
[0013] 2. Optimized sealing details: The second through hole of the first sealing ring is precisely aligned with the first through hole of the flange body. After the fixing screw passes through, it further compresses the sealing ring to enhance the fit of the sealing surface. When the arc-shaped clamping plate clamps the sewage pipe, the sealing groove wraps around the second sealing ring to form an annular sealing band, which improves the sealing reliability of the connection between the sewage pipe and the flange. Even under long-term sewage impact and pressure changes, the sealing performance remains stable.
[0014] 3. Quick pre-positioning: The drain pipe can be directly inserted into the center hole of the flange body to achieve preliminary spatial positioning; after the first and second sealing rings are fitted onto the drain pipe, they can be quickly snapped into the corresponding installation position by relying on the shape constraint of the sealing groove and the matching of the limiting block and the limiting groove, without complicated debugging, greatly shortening the pre-installation preparation time and reducing human operation errors.
[0015] 4. Simplified fixing process: The transmission design of the rotating disk, threaded rod, and slider transforms manual operation into mechanical clamping force. Workers only need to rotate the rotating disk to drive the arc-shaped clamping plate to move inward, automatically completing the clamping and fixing of the sewage pipe. This replaces the traditional complicated bolt tightening and fixture adjustment steps. The fixing screws are inserted through the through holes, and the flange and mounting surface can be fixed with simple operation using tools. No professional skills are required for the entire installation process, improving construction efficiency. Attached Figure Description
