Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] As indicated by the title of this application, the present invention relates to a plug assembly for pipes that is innovative and provides advantages not known to date in the present art.
[0002] Due to the design and configuration of the plug valve assembly for pipelines, this plug valve assembly for pipelines facilitates the replacement of accessories in conduits or sections of pipeline length, as it allows the flow of fluid to be cut off in any direction for accessory replacement, and then allows the fluid to pass through again in a quick and easy manner.
[0003] Therefore, this invention is limited to the manufacture of accessories for conduits and pipes, and more specifically, to the manufacture of stopcocks. Background Technology
[0004] Currently, when it is necessary to replace accessories in pipes or conduits, the flow of fluid from the main source of the pipe or conduit must be interrupted, thereby disrupting the flow of fluid through the entire loop. This leads to production chain shutdowns or causes greater inconvenience to users.
[0005] Dresser connectors are sometimes used to facilitate accessory replacement, but Dresser connectors are very expensive.
[0006] The accessories referred to here include elbows, tees, valves, faucets, etc.
[0007] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0008] The inventors are unaware of any product that has the same technical features as those of the present invention described herein. Utility Model Content
[0009] The objective of this invention relates to the creation of a plug assembly for pipelines that offers considerable innovation in the application field of the prior art, the feature details of which allow it to be properly described in the embodiments of this application.
[0010] Plug assemblies for pipelines allow for quick and easy replacement of accessories along the length of a pipeline. Accessories referred to here include elbows, tees, shut-off valves, or any other type of fitting used in passageways and sections of pipelines.
[0011] Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a stopcock assembly for a pipeline is provided, comprising: a first tubular body and a second tubular body, each having an internal shut-off valve, a connecting device at one end, and a first seat at the other end; and an accessory disposed between the first and second tubular bodies, the accessory having a second seat at each end; wherein the first and second seat are complementary, and the first and second seat are engaged in a direction transverse to the first and second tubular bodies by a removable connection. The connecting device can be threaded, heat-fused, welded, adhesively bonded, or pressed, depending on the material of the body to be manufactured.
[0012] There are shut-off valves in the first and second tubular bodies, which allow the flow of fluid to be cut off, thereby replacing the accessories located between the two bodies in a simple manner.
[0013] In an embodiment of the utility model, the removable connecting part is a screw that is inserted into a threaded hole provided in the first and second seating parts.
[0014] In the embodiments of the utility model, the internal shut-off valve is a butterfly valve, ball valve, diaphragm valve, or gate valve.
[0015] In the embodiments of the utility model, the accessories are shut-off valves, tee fittings, or elbows. Attached Figure Description
[0016] To complete the ongoing description and to help better understand the features of this utility model, the accompanying drawings are attached as an integral part of this specification, in which the following are described in an exemplary and non-limiting manner.
[0017] Figure 1 A perspective view corresponding to the valve assembly. Detailed Implementation
[0018] The stopcock assembly for a pipeline includes a first tubular body 1 and a second tubular body 4. Each of the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4 has an engagement device 2 at one end and a first seat 3 at the other end. The first seat 3 is complementary to a second seat 5 of an accessory located between the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4, to which the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4 are engaged via a removable connection, and wherein the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4 have shut-off valves.
[0019] The joining device can be made by threading, hot melting, welding, adhesive bonding or pressing, depending on the material of the body to be manufactured.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the removable connector is a screw inserted into a threaded hole, which is provided in the first tubular body 1, the second tubular body 4, and the body of the accessory. Therefore, when the first seat 3 and the second seat 5 are placed in a complementary manner, the threaded holes will coincide, allowing the screw to be screwed in. A sealing gasket may also be provided between the first seat 3 and the second seat 5 to achieve a more leak-proof seal.
[0021] The first seating portion 3 and the second seating portion 5 have contact areas that are not transverse to the direction of the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4, such that the accessory 6 can be removed in a direction transverse to the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4. In the figures, the seating portions are longitudinal. Therefore, the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4 can be held in their positions without being affected when replacing the accessory or during accessory maintenance.
[0022] The shut-off valves in the first tubular body 1 and the second tubular body 4 can be butterfly valves, ball valves, diaphragm valves, or gate valves.
[0023] In addition, the accessories may be shut-off valves, tees, elbows, or any other type of accessories or components for pipes, conduits, or channels.
[0024] Having fully described the nature of this invention and how to put it into practice, it is deemed unnecessary to provide a more extensive explanation. Those skilled in the art will understand its scope and the advantages derived therefrom. It should be understood that within the scope of the basic nature of this invention, it may be practiced in other embodiments different from the details indicated by way of example, and these embodiments will also be protected as long as the basic principles of these embodiments are not altered, changed, or modified.
