Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0026] An embodiment of the present invention is shown in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] This embodiment provides a fully embedded anti-corrosion expansion joint with a corrugated structure, including an expansion joint assembly 1, an external protection assembly 3 installed on the outside of the expansion joint assembly 1, and a limiting assembly 2 detachably installed on the outside of the expansion joint assembly 1;

[0030] The expansion joint assembly 1 includes: a pipe body 101; and a corrugated joint 102 fixed inside the pipe body 101;

[0031] The external protection component 3 includes: a protective sleeve 301 fitted over the corrugated joint 102; a conical sleeve 302 fixed to one side of the protective sleeve 301; and a movable ring 303 fixed to the end of the conical sleeve 302.

[0032] Specifically, the expansion joint assembly 1 also includes a mounting ring 104 fixedly welded to the outside of the pipe body 101, with the mounting ring 104 located on both sides of the bellows 102.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the protective sleeve 301 is larger than the outer diameter of the corrugated joint 102, and the gap between the protective sleeve 301 and the corrugated joint 102 can meet the normal deformation activities of the corrugated joint 102.

[0034] Specifically, a flexible seal 305 is provided between the protective sleeve 301 and the mounting ring 104, and the flexible seal 305 is fixedly connected to the protective sleeve 301 and the mounting ring 104.

[0035] Furthermore, the flexible seal 305 can be made of existing flexible filler, which is filled between the protective sleeve 301 and the mounting ring 104 without affecting the movement of the bellows 102 inside the protective sleeve 301. The flexible filler is filled with flexible material (such as graphite, asbestos, etc.) and compressed to seal. The flexible seal 305 is compressed and fixed before leaving the factory, so that the protective sleeve 301 and the mounting ring 104 are connected through the flexible seal 305.

[0036] Specifically, a sealing ring 304 is provided between the moving ring 303 and the pipe body 101, and the sealing ring 304 is attached to the inner wall of the moving ring 303. The sealing ring 304 is movably connected to the pipe body 101, and the sealing ring 304 is made of corrosion-resistant rubber.

[0037] Furthermore, the sealing ring 304 provides a certain sealing effect between the moving ring 303 and the pipe body 101, preventing large particles of sand from entering the interior of the protective sleeve 301 through the gap between the moving ring 303 and the pipe body 101. At the same time, the sealing ring 304 is movably connected to the pipe body 101, which can satisfy the effect of the pipe body 101 sliding inside the moving ring 303.

[0038] Specifically, the bottom of the protective cover 301 is provided with multiple equally spaced and evenly distributed drainage holes 306.

[0039] Furthermore, water that seeps into the protective sleeve 301 can be discharged out through the drain hole 306, which has a built-in filter screen to prevent soil from entering.

[0040] In this embodiment, by setting an external protective component 3 outside the corrugated section 102, the protective sleeve 301 is axially aligned with the corrugated section 102, and a certain space is reserved inside to allow for the normal deformation of the corrugated section 102. Furthermore, the protective sleeve 301 can protect the corrugated section 102 and prevent soil from squeezing the corrugated section 102, which would cause the corrugated section 102 to deform and affect its normal use.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] Please see Figures 3-4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0043] This embodiment provides a fully embedded anti-corrosion expansion joint with a corrugated structure, including...

[0044] Specifically, the expansion joint assembly 1 also includes: pipe flanges 105 welded to both ends of the pipe body 101; and an inner pipe 103 welded inside the pipe body 101.

[0045] Furthermore, one end of the inner tube 103 is fixedly welded, while the other end is in a free state to allow for liquid flow.

[0046] Specifically, the inlet end of the inner tube 103 is welded and fixed to the main body of the pipe 101, and the outlet end of the inner tube 103 is a free end, with the moving ring 303 located outside the free end of the inner tube 103.

[0047] Furthermore, the welding end of the inner tube 103 is aligned with the welding end of the protective sleeve 301, and the protective sleeve 301 is welded to the outside of the mounting ring 104, which supports the protective sleeve 301.

[0048] Specifically, the limiting component 2 includes: a mounting base 201 welded to the pipe flange 105; a limiting screw 202 movably connected inside the mounting base 201; and a limiting bolt 203 threadedly connected to the outside of the limiting screw 202.

[0049] Furthermore, by rotating the limiting bolt 203 on the limiting screw 202, the position of the limiting bolt 203 can be adjusted, thereby limiting the main body of the pipeline 101. After installation, the limiting screw 202 can be removed. The mounting base 201 is made of corrosion-resistant material. If the limiting screw 202 is not removed, the limiting screw 202 needs to be given additional anti-corrosion protection.

[0050] In this embodiment, the limiting component 2 can temporarily limit the pipe body 101, and can be removed later without affecting the normal use of the pipe body 101.

[0051] Working principle: The pipe flange 105 on the pipe body 101 is used to connect other pipes. The corrugated section 102 can elastically deform inside the protective sleeve 301 according to the actual work. When installed, the protective sleeve 301 is fitted over the mounting ring 104. The protective sleeve 301 and the mounting ring 104 are filled by the flexible seal 305. The movable ring 303 at the other end can slide on the pipe body 101. The mounting ring 104 near the movable ring 303 restricts the movement range of the movable ring 303 to prevent the corrugated section 102 from being exposed. The overall length of the external protective component 3 is greater than the maximum elongation of the corrugated section 102. When buried in the ground, since the protective sleeve 301 is located outside the corrugated section 102, the corrugated section 102 will not come into contact with the soil, thus protecting the corrugated section 102.

[0052] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
