Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiberglass technology, and more specifically, to a fiberglass exhaust pipe connection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, fiberglass exhaust stacks are widely used in industrial emission systems due to their advantages such as good corrosion resistance, lightweight and high strength, and convenient construction. Traditionally, the connection between fiberglass exhaust stacks often uses a flange connection structure, where a flange is installed at each end of two exhaust stack sections, and then bolts are tightened to compress the sealing gasket between the flanges, thereby achieving a sealed connection.
[0003] However, existing flange connection structures have certain drawbacks. Due to the thin walls of FRP exhaust stacks, the flange typically only makes partial contact with the end of the stack wall, resulting in a small contact area and uneven stress distribution at the connection point. During long-term operation, especially under the influence of wind loads, vibrations, or temperature changes, the flange connection is prone to deformation, leading to uneven compression or even failure of the gasket and resulting in air leakage. This not only reduces the operating efficiency of the exhaust system but may also pollute the environment and affect the normal operation of the equipment. Furthermore, existing flange connection methods are cumbersome to operate, requiring the use of several bolts for fixing, and the alignment requirements during installation are high. Improper installation can easily lead to a loose connection, further affecting the overall sealing performance of the FRP exhaust stack. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a fiberglass exhaust pipe connection structure, including a fixing sleeve 1, with exhaust pipe bodies 2 connected to both ends of the fixing sleeve 1. The exhaust pipe bodies 2 are all made of fiberglass. One end of the exhaust pipe body 2 is provided with a positioning part 21. The inner wall of the fixing sleeve 1 is provided with a fixing member, which is inserted into the positioning part 21. The outer wall of the fixing sleeve 1 is provided with a plurality of fasteners along the circumference. The outer wall of the exhaust pipe body 2 is provided with a locking seat 23 corresponding to each of the fasteners, which is engaged with the locking seat 23.
[0029] The initial connection of the exhaust pipe body 2 is achieved through the cooperation of the positioning part 21 and the fixing part, followed by a secondary connection through the cooperation of the buckle and the bracket 23. This two-stage connection improves the stability and sealing of the exhaust pipe connection, enhancing the safety and environmental friendliness of the exhaust system. Furthermore, the insertion design of the positioning part 21 and the fixing part, as well as the snap-fit design of the buckle and the bracket 23, simplifies the connection steps of the exhaust pipe body 2, enabling rapid connection. The connection of the exhaust pipe body 2 through the fixing sleeve 1 reduces the impact of wind load, vibration, or temperature changes on the connection, improving its stability and sealing, and preventing leakage. The fixing sleeve 1 has sockets at both ends and a insertion port at one end of the exhaust pipe body 2. When the fixing part and the positioning part 21 are inserted, the sockets and insertion ports engage, and this multiple insertion process alters the gas flow direction, further improving the leak-proof effect.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the positioning part 21 is the same as the inner diameter of the fixing sleeve 1. The matching of the positioning part 21 and the fixing sleeve 1 improves the sealing performance of the connection between the exhaust pipe body 2 and the main body 2.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning part 21 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 22 circumferentially along the central axis of the exhaust pipe body 2, and the fixing member is a fixing protrusion 11, which corresponds one-to-one with the positioning hole 22. By using the plurality of fixing protrusions 11 to be inserted into the positioning holes 22, the connection between the fixing sleeve 1 and the exhaust pipe body 2 is strengthened, thereby improving the connection between the exhaust pipe bodies 2 and enhancing the safety of the exhaust system.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 1 is provided with a positioning groove 14, and a spring 15 is provided between the fixing protrusion 11 and the groove wall of the positioning groove 14. As the exhaust pipe body 2 is gradually inserted into the fixing sleeve 1, the fixing protrusion 11 gradually retracts into the positioning groove 14. When the positioning hole 22 of the positioning part 21 of the exhaust pipe body 2 corresponds to the fixing protrusion 11, the fixing protrusion 11 extends out from the positioning groove 14 and is inserted into the positioning hole 22, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing sleeve 1 and the exhaust pipe body 2. The connection between the two exhaust pipe bodies 2 is realized through the fixing sleeve 1.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, both the working surface of the fixing protrusion 11 and the end face of the positioning part 21 are arc surfaces. This arc surface design allows the fixing protrusion 11 to retract more smoothly into the positioning groove 14 when the positioning part 21 contacts the fixing protrusion 11.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, a sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the exhaust pipe body 2 and the fixing sleeve 1. The sealing gasket can improve the sealing performance at the connection between the fixing sleeve 1 and the exhaust pipe body 2.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing sleeve 1 includes an outer shell 16 and an inner shell 17. The outer shell 16 is made of fiberglass, and the inner shell 17 is an expansion body. The use of an expansion body allows for a movable space between the exhaust pipe body 2 and the fixing sleeve 1, satisfying the working environment of thermal expansion and contraction of the exhaust pipe body 2. That is, there is a movable or deformable space between the positioning part 21 of the exhaust pipe body 2 and the inner shell 17 of the fixing sleeve 1, which can extend the service life of the exhaust pipe. The fixing protrusion 11 is located inside the inner shell 17, and the fastener is located outside the outer shell 16.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the fastener includes a locking plate 12 and a locking ring 13. The locking seat 23 is provided with a locking groove 24. One end of the locking ring 13 is rotatably connected to the locking plate 12, and the other end of the locking ring 13 is engaged with the locking groove 24. The locking design of the locking ring 13 and the locking groove 24 can realize a quick connection between the fixing sleeve 1 and the exhaust pipe body 2, thus speeding up the installation of the exhaust pipe.
[0037] The working principle of a fiberglass exhaust pipe connection structure is as follows: The positioning part 21 of the exhaust pipe body 2 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 1. The fixing protrusion 11 inside the fixing sleeve 1 engages with the positioning hole 22 of the positioning part 21, achieving an initial connection between the exhaust pipe body 2 and the fixing sleeve 1. Simultaneously, the socket of the fixing sleeve 1 engages with the insertion port of the exhaust pipe body 2, improving the sealing performance of the connection through two locking mechanisms. Then, the retaining ring 13 on the outside of the fixing sleeve 1 is rotated, allowing the retaining ring 13 to engage with the retaining groove 24 on the outside of the exhaust pipe body 2, achieving a secondary fixation between the exhaust pipe body 2 and the fixing sleeve 1, improving the stability of the connection. Similarly, the other end of the fixing sleeve 1 is connected to another exhaust pipe body 2, achieving the connection of two exhaust pipe bodies 2. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.
[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
