Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an annular sealing structure for steel-lined polyurethane composite pipes, belonging to the technical field of polyurethane composite pipe sealing structures. Background Technology

[0002] Steel-lined polyurethane composite pipe is a composite pipe product with polyurethane as the base material and steel as the inner lining. It is commonly used in chemical, oil, natural gas transportation, and mining industries. The annular sealing structure of the steel-lined polyurethane composite pipe forms a physical barrier in the radial or axial direction by tightly fitting the annular structure with the pipe flange and interface, preventing the fluid inside the pipe from overflowing along the joint. This is a key component that ensures the sealing of the pipe connection and prevents media leakage, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the pipeline system. It is widely used in industrial fluid transportation scenarios.

[0003] The existing steel-lined polyurethane composite pipe annular sealing structure has many shortcomings: traditional polyurethane seals are prone to elastic decay, aging, swelling and other problems in high temperature or highly corrosive media environments, leading to sealing failure; the adhesion between the metal support skeleton and the polyurethane body is insufficient, and delamination and degumming are likely to occur. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an annular sealing structure for a steel-lined polyurethane composite pipe to solve the above problems. This structure can improve the high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance of the annular sealing structure, as well as enhance the adhesion between the metal support skeleton and the main body of the annular sealing ring.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solution: a ring-shaped sealing structure for a steel-lined polyurethane composite pipe, comprising a ring-shaped sealing ring body made of polyurethane and a metal support skeleton. The metal support skeleton is installed inside the ring-shaped sealing ring body, which is filled with silicon carbide. A ring-shaped fluororubber layer is bonded to the outside of the ring-shaped sealing ring body through a vulcanization process. A stainless steel foil is wrapped around the outside of the ring-shaped fluororubber layer, and a wave spring washer is fixedly installed on the outside of the stainless steel foil. The metal support skeleton is made of 316 stainless steel, and its overall structure is ring-shaped. A ring-shaped groove is formed on the surface of the metal support skeleton. Several ring-shaped grooves are formed during use. The wave spring washer is used to absorb the impact force generated by pressure fluctuations. The stainless steel foil is used to isolate the high-temperature medium from direct contact. The ring-shaped fluororubber layer is used to improve the oxidation resistance.

[0006] Preferably, in order to isolate the stainless steel foil from the external high-temperature medium, the thickness is 0.5 mm.

[0007] Preferably, in order to improve the oxidation resistance of the annular sealing structure, the thickness of the annular fluororubber layer is 2 mm.

[0008] Preferably, in order to absorb the impact force generated by pressure fluctuations, the thickness of the wave spring washer is 1.5mm.

[0009] Preferably, in order to make the metal support skeleton more firmly bonded to the annular sealing ring body, the depth of the annular groove is 2.5mm, and the surface of the metal support skeleton is coated with a silane coupling agent by a spraying process to enhance the adhesion between the metal support skeleton and the annular sealing ring body.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When in use, by filling the inside of the annular sealing ring body with silicon carbide and stainless steel foil, the wear resistance and high temperature resistance of the annular sealing structure are enhanced. The annular fluororubber layer with vulcanization bonding on the outside improves the oxidation resistance of the annular sealing structure, thereby increasing its overall service life. The annular groove on the surface of the metal support skeleton and the sprayed silane coupling agent coating significantly enhance the adhesion to the annular sealing ring body, preventing delamination and degumming.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-3As shown, the annular sealing structure of the steel-lined polyurethane composite pipe includes an annular sealing ring body 1 made of polyurethane and a metal support skeleton 2. The metal support skeleton 2 is installed inside the annular sealing ring body 1. The annular sealing ring body 1 is filled with silicon carbide. An annular fluororubber layer 3 is bonded to the outside of the annular sealing ring body 1 through a vulcanization process. A stainless steel foil 4 is wrapped around the outside of the annular fluororubber layer 3. A wave spring washer 5 is fixedly installed on the outside of the stainless steel foil 4. The metal support skeleton 2 is made of 316 stainless steel, and its overall structure is annular. The surface has an annular groove 6. The stainless steel foil 4 is 0.5mm thick, the annular fluororubber layer 3 is 2mm thick, the wave spring washer 5 is 1.5mm thick, and the depth of the annular groove 6 is 2.5mm. The surface of the metal support frame 2 is coated with a silane coupling agent through a spraying process to enhance the adhesion between the metal support frame 2 and the annular sealing ring body 1. During use, the silicon carbide filling amount is 2% of the mass of the annular sealing ring body 1. The silicon carbide filling inside the annular sealing ring body 1 and the outer wrapping of the annular fluororubber layer 3 are not... Stainless steel foil 4 enhances the wear resistance of the annular sealing structure and improves its high-temperature resistance. The annular fluororubber layer 3, with its excellent chemical corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, significantly improves the annular sealing structure's resistance to strong acids, alkalis, oils, and other media. The silane coupling agent coating sprayed on the surface of the metal support skeleton 2 enhances the adhesion to the annular sealing ring body 1 through chemical bonding, preventing delamination and degumming, and extending the service life of the annular sealing structure. At the same time, the annular groove 6 on the surface of the metal support skeleton 2 enhances the bond with the annular sealing ring body 1 through mechanical interlocking, allowing the polyurethane to be embedded after curing, improving shear resistance, and further enhancing the adhesion to the annular sealing ring body 1. The 316 stainless steel metal support skeleton 2 has good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Its annular structure design provides reliable support for the annular sealing ring body 1, preventing excessive deformation under high pressure. The wave spring washer 5 gives the annular sealing structure good compressive strength and vibration resistance. Under high pressure or vibration conditions, the wave spring washer 5 continuously provides stable preload through elastic deformation, preventing loosening of various components.
