AI Technical Summary
The existing double-corrugated expansion joint suffers from problems such as inconsistent deformation of the two sets of corrugated pipes, complex structure, and high cost.
A universal proportional linkage mechanism is adopted, including a universal ring assembly, a proportional linkage assembly, a hinge seat assembly, and a saddle, which simplifies the linkage mechanism structure. Through the cooperation of the hinge seat assembly and the universal ring assembly, the bellows can be coordinated to deform and bear the weight of the intermediate tube.
The linkage mechanism structure has been simplified, costs have been reduced, ease of assembly and disassembly has been improved, the service life of the expansion joint has been extended, and coordinated deformation of the bellows and bearing of the weight of the intermediate tube have been achieved.
