[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a corrosion-resistant petrochemical pipeline flange quick connection device, including a petrochemical pipeline 1 and a connecting pipeline 2. A flange base 5 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the petrochemical pipeline 1, and a sliding groove is opened on one side of the flange base 5. A fixed flange ring 3 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the connecting pipeline 2.

[0031] Specifically, a threaded sleeve 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed flange ring 3, so that the threaded sleeve 4 can be rotated by rotating the fixed flange ring 3.

[0032] Specifically, both the petrochemical pipeline 1 and the connecting pipeline 2 are fitted with sealing rings 18 on their outer sides. One side of the sealing ring 18 on the petrochemical pipeline 1 is fixedly connected to the flange base 5, and the sealing ring 18 on the connecting pipeline 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed flange ring 3, which can effectively prevent media leakage.

[0033] Specifically, an external threaded groove 6 is provided on the inner side of the sliding groove, and the external threaded groove 6 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 4, which facilitates the initial connection between the petrochemical pipeline 1 and the connecting pipeline 2.

[0034] Specifically, a linkage ring 7 is slidably installed on the inner side of the sliding groove. The linkage ring 7 is in contact with the threaded sleeve 4. The end of the threaded sleeve 4 abuts against the end face of the linkage ring 7. A return spring 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the linkage ring 7. The other end of the return spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right side of the sliding groove. An annular groove is opened on the outer side of the linkage ring 7 to facilitate the reset of the linkage ring 7 by the return spring 8.

[0035] Specifically, the outer side of the flange base 5 is provided with twelve tilting grooves, all of which are connected to the same sliding groove. The inner side of each of the twelve tilting grooves is fixedly installed with a fixed shaft 9. Tilting metal strips 10 are rotatably sleeved on each of the twelve fixed shafts 9. One end of each of the twelve tilting metal strips 10 is provided with a linkage groove. The inner side of each of the twelve linkage grooves is fixedly installed with a linkage shaft 11. A linkage metal block 12 is rotatably sleeved on each of the twelve linkage shafts 11. The twelve linkage metal blocks 12 are slidably installed on the inner side of the annular groove, and can be moved by the annular groove.

[0036] Specifically, each of the twelve flip metal strips 10 has an adaptation port at its other end. An adaptation shaft 13 is slidably installed on the inner side of each of the twelve adaptation ports. An adaptation spring 14 is sleeved on the outer side of each of the twelve adaptation shafts 13. The other end of each of the twelve adaptation springs 14 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the corresponding adaptation port. A clip 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each of the twelve adaptation shafts 13. Each of the twelve clips 15 clamps the same fixing flange ring 3, which facilitates quick connection.

[0037] Specifically, two fixing holes 16 are provided on one side of the two flip metal strips 10 located at the top and bottom of the twelve flip metal strips 10. Two fixing holes 16 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the two flip grooves located at the top and bottom. The same pin 17 can be detachably installed on the inner side of the four fixing holes 16 on the same side, so as to fix the flip metal strips 10 located at the bottom and top and prevent the clamping force from decreasing.

[0038] Working principle: When connecting petrochemical pipeline 1, the operator aligns petrochemical pipeline 1 with connecting pipeline 2, and then connects the threaded sleeve 4 on connecting pipeline 2 to flange base 5. The flange base 5 has an external threaded groove 6 on its inner side, which is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 4. When the threaded sleeve 4 is threadedly connected to the external threaded groove 6, the threaded sleeve 4 moves axially. This movement of the threaded sleeve 4 drives the linkage ring 7 to move. The linkage ring 7 has an annular groove on its outer side. The movement of the annular groove drives twelve linkage metal blocks 12 to move. The movement of the twelve linkage metal blocks 12 drives the corresponding linkage shaft 11 to move. The movement of the twelve linkage shafts 11 drives the corresponding flipping metal strips 10 to move. All twelve flipping metal strips 10 are rotated and sleeved on... On the corresponding fixed shaft 9, the twelve flipping metal strips 10 can only flip around the corresponding fixed shaft 9 as the center. The flipping of the twelve flipping metal strips 10 drives the corresponding clamps 15 to move. The twelve clamps 15 clamp the fixed flange ring 3. When the diameter of the fixed flange ring 3 changes, the twelve clamps 15 can move up and down through the corresponding adapting shaft 13 and adapting spring 14 to adapt to fixed flange rings 3 of different diameters, thereby increasing the self-adaptive capability of the equipment. After clamping is completed, the operator inserts two pins 17 into the corresponding fixing holes 16 to fix the clamps, preventing the clamps from dropping after long-term use, which could lead to failure of the connection between pipes, and ensuring the stability and durability of the equipment clamping.

[0039] With the above structure, the corrosion-resistant petrochemical pipeline flange quick connection device provided in this application controls multiple clamps 15 to clamp the fixed flange ring 3 to prevent it from falling off, thereby greatly improving the connection speed and effectively preventing the pipeline from falling off, increasing the tightness of the connection. Furthermore, the provided pin 17 can prevent the clamping of the clamps 15 from dropping after long-term use, which could lead to connection failure between pipelines, thus increasing the usability of the equipment and extending its service life.

[0040] To address the problems of "low assembly efficiency, cumbersome disassembly, poor sealing, and unstable clamping" in traditional flange connection methods mentioned in the background art, this application introduces a multi-level linkage mechanism and adaptive adjustment function in the specific implementation process, further improving the rapid connection performance and reliability of the device.

[0041] In actual operation, when the connecting pipe 2 is inserted into the sliding groove of the flange base 5, the fixed flange ring 3, which is rotatably mounted on its outer side, drives the threaded sleeve 4 to screw into the external threaded groove 6. At this time, the initial connection is achieved through rotation. As the threaded sleeve 4 continues to screw in, its end pushes the linkage ring 7 to move into the sliding groove, compressing the return spring 8 and causing the annular groove on the linkage ring 7 to generate axial displacement. This displacement drives the twelve linkage metal blocks 12 to slide along the annular groove, and through the linkage shaft 11, drives the flipping metal strip 10 to flip around the fixed shaft 9, thereby causing the clamp 15 to move towards the fixed flange ring 3 and finally complete the clamping action.

[0042] To ensure synchronization and stability during clamping, all flipping metal strips 10 are designed with the same length (preferably 45mm) and are evenly distributed around the flange base 5, with a central angle of 30° between every two adjacent flipping metal strips to ensure uniform force distribution. The linkage metal block 12 and the annular groove adopt a dovetail groove fit structure, with the friction coefficient controlled between 0.1 and 0.15, which ensures smooth sliding and prevents the risk of dislocation due to vibration.

[0043] Furthermore, to accommodate fixed flange rings 3 of different diameters, each clamp 15 is provided with an adaptation port at its lower part. An adaptation shaft 13 is slidably installed within the adaptation port, and its top is elastically connected to the inner wall of the top of the adaptation port via an adaptation spring 14. The stiffness coefficient of the adaptation spring 14 is set to 15 N / mm, and the preload is 5 mm. It can automatically adjust the height position of the clamp 15 within a range of ±5 mm of the diameter variation of the fixed flange ring 3, thereby achieving self-adaptive clamping. This structure effectively solves the problem of unstable clamping caused by machining errors or installation deviations in traditional flange connections.

[0044] To further enhance stability after connection, two fixing holes 16 are respectively made on the two flip metal strips 10 at the top and bottom, and matching holes are also provided on both sides of the flip groove. After the clamp 15 has clamped the metal strip, the operator inserts the pin 17 into the fixing hole 16 to lock the position of the flip metal strip 10 and prevent the clamping force from weakening due to prolonged use or vibration. The pin 17 is made of stainless steel, has a diameter of 8mm, and an insertion depth of not less than 20mm to ensure reliable locking.

[0045] All metal components of the entire unit are made of 316L stainless steel with passivated surfaces, providing excellent corrosion resistance and suitability for acidic, alkaline, and high-salt media conditions commonly found in petrochemical environments. The sealing ring 18 is made of fluororubber with a Shore hardness of 70A, maintaining good sealing performance within a temperature range of -20℃ to +200℃, effectively preventing media leakage.

[0046] Through the above structural design and parameter configuration, this device not only significantly improves the operating efficiency of flange connections, reducing the average time from 5 minutes to less than 1 minute, but also achieves reliable sealing, stable clamping, and strong adaptability, fully meeting the petrochemical industry's dual requirements for pipeline connection safety and efficiency.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, a guide key structure is also provided between the flange base 5 and the petrochemical pipeline 1 to guide the connecting pipeline 2 accurately into the sliding groove during the initial docking stage. The guide key is 30mm long and 5mm wide, and is embedded at the entrance of the sliding groove of the flange base 5, cooperating with the guide groove on the connecting pipeline 2 to avoid thread mis-threading or jamming due to eccentric insertion.

[0048] Meanwhile, a dust cover assembly is provided on the outside of the flange base 5, including a rotatable protective cover and a flexible snap-fit ​​mechanism, used to cover the sliding groove and the area of ​​the flip metal strip 10 when not connected, preventing dust, rainwater and other impurities from entering and affecting the mechanical movement performance. The dust cover can open to an angle of up to 180°, making it easy for operators to quickly open and complete the connection operation.

[0049] In summary, this invention systematically solves several key technical problems existing in existing flange connections by introducing a linkage clamping structure, an adaptive adjustment mechanism, a pin locking device, a guide key to assist centering, and dust protection, and has good engineering application prospects and promotion value.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
