Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of non-metallic compensator technology, specifically a non-metallic compensator that is easy to disassemble and maintain. Background Technology

[0002] A pipeline compensator is a device used in pipeline systems to compensate for linear and angular changes caused by temperature variations, vibration, and installation errors during pipeline operation. It has the following functions and characteristics: displacement compensation, vibration absorption, noise reduction, and ease of installation. Pipeline compensators typically include different types such as rubber compensators, metal bellows compensators, and spherical compensators. Selection requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as the working environment of the pipeline system, the characteristics of the medium, and the displacement conditions.

[0003] Existing compensators require alignment of their two ends with the ends of the pipes to be connected during installation. After alignment, bolts are inserted into bolt holes on the pipe surface, and nuts are used to connect one end of the compensator to the other end of the pipe. However, the bolt-fixing method of existing compensators is time-consuming and labor-intensive. When replacing or maintaining the pipe compensator, the output equipment needs to be stopped to ensure safety, resulting in long downtime and significant economic losses. Therefore, a non-metallic compensator that is easy to disassemble and maintain is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a non-metallic compensator that is easy to disassemble and maintain, in order to address the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a non-metallic compensator that is easy to disassemble and maintain, including a non-metallic compensator body, and a connecting mechanism is provided on the non-metallic compensator body;

[0006] The connecting mechanism includes: a connecting pipe, which is fixedly connected to the right side of the non-metallic compensator body; a connector is inserted into the right side of the connecting pipe, and the right side of the connector is fixedly connected to a pipe; a receiving groove is formed on the inner wall of the connecting pipe; a sliding hole is formed at the top of the inner wall of the receiving groove; a sliding rod is slidably connected in the sliding hole; a locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod, and the locking block engages with the connector; a connecting ring is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the outer wall of the sliding rod; a spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe; an external thread is formed on the outer wall of the connecting pipe, and a locking cylinder is threaded onto the outer wall of the connecting pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the connector has a slot, and the locking block is engaged in the slot.

[0008] Preferably, the top end of the slide rod is arc-shaped, the cross-section of the locking cylinder is inverted "L" shape, and the arc-shaped end of the slide rod abuts against the inner wall of the locking cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, there are two sets of each of the storage slot, slide bar, locking block, connecting ring, spring, and locking slot, and they are arranged opposite to each other.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting pipe is provided with a sealing mechanism, the sealing mechanism including: a fixing ring, the fixing ring being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe, a second spring being fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing ring, an installation ring being fixedly connected to the right end of the second spring, and a sealing gasket being fixedly connected to the right side of the installation ring.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing gasket is made of rubber, and its right side abuts against the left side of the connector.

[0012] Preferably, a positioning strip is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector, and a positioning groove is formed on the inner wall of the connecting tube, with the positioning strip slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove.

[0013] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This non-metallic compensator, which is easy to disassemble and maintain, involves inserting the connector into the connecting pipe. When the slot and the locking block are aligned, rotating the locking cylinder causes its inner wall to abut against the arc-shaped end of the sliding rod. This compresses the sliding rod, causing the connecting ring to move and compress the spring. Simultaneously, the sliding rod causes the locking block to engage with the slot, connecting the connector to the connecting pipe. At this point, the locking cylinder restricts the upward movement of the sliding rod, thus locking the connection between the locking block and the slot, completing the entire connection process. This connection method eliminates the need for complex bolt tightening, significantly shortening installation time and improving work efficiency. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the locking cylinder in the opposite direction to release the restriction on the sliding rod. Under the action of the spring, the locking block disengages from the slot, allowing the connector to be easily pulled out, achieving quick disassembly. This facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the compensator, effectively reducing downtime and economic losses.

[0015] 2. This non-metallic compensator, which is easy to disassemble and maintain, compresses the sealing gasket during the insertion of the connector into the connecting pipe. The spring is compressed, and the elasticity of the spring ensures the sealing gasket remains tightly fitted to the connector, effectively filling the gaps in the connection and preventing leakage of the medium within the pipeline. Even if slight displacement occurs in the connection due to temperature changes, vibration, or other factors during pipeline operation, the sealing gasket can still adaptively adjust under the action of the spring, maintaining good sealing performance. This ensures the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system and avoids environmental pollution and energy waste caused by medium leakage. When the connector is inserted into the connecting pipe, the positioning strip slides along the positioning groove, providing guidance and positioning, thus improving the accuracy of the connection.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a non-metallic compensator that is easy to disassemble and maintain, comprising a non-metallic compensator body 1, on which a connecting mechanism 2 is provided; the connecting mechanism 2 includes: a connecting pipe 21, the connecting pipe 21 being fixedly connected to the right side of the non-metallic compensator body 1, a connector 22 being inserted into the right side of the connecting pipe 21, and the right side of the connector 22 being fixedly connected to a pipe, a receiving groove 23 being provided on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 21, a sliding hole being provided at the top of the inner wall of the receiving groove 23, a sliding rod 24 being slidably connected in the sliding hole, and a locking block 25 being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod 24, and the locking block 25 being connected to... The connector 22 is snapped in place, and a groove 29 is formed on the outer wall of the connector 22. The locking block 25 is snapped into the groove 29. A connecting ring 26 is fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the outer wall of the slide rod 24. A spring 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 26, and the bottom end of the spring 27 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 21. The outer wall of the connecting pipe 21 has external threads, and a locking cylinder 28 is threaded onto the outer wall of the connecting pipe 21. The top end of the slide rod 24 is arc-shaped, and the cross-section of the locking cylinder 28 is inverted "L"-shaped. The arc-shaped end of the slide rod 24 abuts against the inner wall of the locking cylinder 28. The locking cylinder 28 can lock the slide rod 24. To limit the movement and prevent the slide rod 24 from accidentally falling off, there are two sets of each of the following components: storage groove 23, slide rod 24, locking block 25, connecting ring 26, spring 27, and locking slot 29, arranged opposite to each other. The structures on the left and right sides of the non-metallic compensator body 1 are identical and arranged opposite to each other. By inserting the connector 22 connected to the pipe into the connecting pipe 21, when the locking slot 29 is aligned with the locking block 25, the locking cylinder 28 is rotated so that its inner wall abuts against the arc-shaped end of the top of the slide rod 24. This causes the locking cylinder 28 to compress the slide rod 24, which in turn moves the connecting ring 26 and compresses the spring 27. At the same time, the slide rod 24 causes the locking block 25 to engage. The slot 29 connects the connector 22 to the connecting pipe 21. At this time, the locking cylinder 28 can restrict the slide rod 24 from moving upward, thereby locking the connection between the locking block 25 and the slot 29, completing the entire connection process. This connection method does not require complicated bolt tightening operations, which greatly shortens the installation time and improves work efficiency. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the locking cylinder 28 in the opposite direction to release the restriction on the slide rod 24. Under the action of the spring 27, the locking block 25 disengages from the slot 29, and the connector 22 can be easily pulled out, achieving quick disassembly. This facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the compensator and effectively reduces downtime and economic losses.

[0026] Working principle: By inserting the connector 22, which is connected to the pipeline, into the connecting pipe 21, when the slot 29 and the locking block 25 are aligned, the locking cylinder 28 is rotated so that its inner wall abuts against the top arc end of the slide rod 24. This causes the locking cylinder 28 to compress the slide rod 24, which in turn moves the connecting ring 26 and compresses the spring 27. At the same time, the slide rod 24 causes the locking block 25 to engage with the slot 29, thus connecting the connector 22 to the connecting pipe 21. At this time, the locking cylinder 28 can restrict the upward movement of the slide rod 24, thereby locking the connection between the locking block 25 and the slot 29, completing the entire connection process. When disassembly is required, simply rotate the locking cylinder 28 in the opposite direction to release the restriction on the slide rod 24. Under the action of the spring 27, the locking block 25 disengages from the slot 29, allowing the connector 22 to be easily pulled out. This enables quick disassembly and facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the compensator.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of this utility model, a sealing mechanism 3 is provided on the connecting pipe 21. The sealing mechanism 3 includes: a fixing ring 31, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting pipe 21; a second spring 32 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixing ring 31; an installation ring 33 is fixedly connected to the right end of the second spring 32; and a sealing gasket 34 is fixedly connected to the right side of the installation ring 33. The sealing gasket 34 is made of rubber and its right side abuts against the left side of the connector 22. During the insertion of the connector 22 into the connecting pipe 21, the sealing gasket 34 is squeezed, and the second spring 32 is compressed. The elasticity of the second spring 32 keeps the sealing gasket 34 in close contact with the connector 22, effectively filling the gap. The sealing gasket 34 eliminates gaps at the connection points to prevent leakage of the medium inside the pipeline. Even if the connection points experience slight displacement due to factors such as temperature changes and vibration during pipeline system operation, the sealing gasket 34 can still adaptively adjust under the action of spring 32 to maintain good sealing performance, ensuring the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system and avoiding environmental pollution and energy waste caused by medium leakage. The outer wall of the connector 22 is fixedly connected with a positioning strip 4, and the inner wall of the connecting pipe 21 is provided with a positioning groove. The positioning strip 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove. When the connector 22 is inserted into the connecting pipe 21, the positioning strip 4 slides along the positioning groove, playing a guiding and positioning role and improving the accuracy of the connection.

[0028] Working principle: During the insertion of connector 22 into connecting pipe 21, sealing gasket 34 is compressed, and spring 32 is compressed. The elasticity of spring 32 keeps sealing gasket 34 in close contact with connector 22, effectively filling the gaps in the connection and preventing leakage of medium in the pipeline. Even if the connection part undergoes slight displacement due to temperature changes, vibration, or other factors during pipeline operation, sealing gasket 34 can still self-adjust under the action of spring 32, maintaining good sealing performance. This ensures the safe and stable operation of the pipeline system and avoids environmental pollution and energy waste caused by medium leakage. When connector 22 is inserted into connecting pipe 21, positioning strip 4 slides along positioning groove, playing a guiding and positioning role, improving the accuracy of the connection.
