Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corrugated pipe joint technology, and more specifically, to a corrugated pipe connection joint with a flow meter. Background Technology

[0002] In today's industrial production, construction facilities, and various fluid transportation systems, corrugated pipes are widely used in pipe connections due to their excellent flexibility, extensibility, and good sealing performance, in order to adapt to pipe displacement, vibration, and installation requirements under different working conditions. At the same time, in order to achieve accurate monitoring and control of fluid flow, flow meters have also become an indispensable component in many systems.

[0003] In terms of flow meter installation, insertion flow meters usually require drilling mounting holes in the pipeline and then welding the mounting sleeve of the flow meter to the pipeline. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also only applicable to metal pipelines. It is ineffective for non-metallic pipelines such as plastic and rubber. For non-insertion flow meters, such as ultrasonic flow meters and vortex flow meters, their installation often requires additional brackets, flanges or complex fixing structures, which not only occupy a lot of space, but also the installation methods of different types of flow meters are very different, making the installation process extremely complicated and the installation and subsequent maintenance work extremely difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the problems and defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a bellows connection joint with a flow meter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a corrugated pipe connector with a flow meter, comprising a corrugated pipe connector body, both ends of which are fixedly connected to threaded connecting pipes, a flow meter fixing pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the corrugated pipe connector body, a threaded cap is installed on the top of the flow meter fixing pipe, a flow meter is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded cap, and a translation mechanism is provided on the top of the corrugated pipe connector body.

[0006] The translation mechanism includes a fixed box, which is fixed to the top of the corrugated pipe joint body. A first knob is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed box, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to one side of the first knob. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod, and a connecting slide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded sleeve. A moving plate is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting slide rod, and a pressing mechanism is provided on one side of the moving plate.

[0007] Preferably, the pressing mechanism includes a threaded hole, which is formed on the top surface of the movable plate. A screw is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole, and a pressing plate is provided at the bottom of the screw.

[0008] Preferably, a bearing is installed between the screw and the lower pressure plate, a rubber plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower pressure plate, and a movable clamping plate is fixedly connected to one side of both the lower pressure plate and the rubber plate.

[0009] Preferably, a second knob is fixedly connected to the top of the screw.

[0010] Preferably, the top surface of the fixing box is provided with a through groove, and the through groove is slidably connected to the connecting slide rod.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the threaded rod passes through the fixed box and extends to one side of the fixed box, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the fixed box.

[0012] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the movable plate is set to L-shape.

[0013] Preferably, the threaded cap is threadedly connected to the flow meter fixing tube, and a sealing ring is provided between the threaded cap and the flow meter fixing tube.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Through the combined design of the flow meter fixing tube, threaded cap, translation mechanism and pressure mechanism, it supports the direct insertion and installation of insertion flow meters through the flow meter fixing tube, and can also firmly clamp and press down on non-insertion flow meters such as ultrasonic flow meters and vortex flow meters through the moving clamp and pressure plate. It can not only monitor the flow through the flow meter, but also make the connector compatible with most types of flow meters on the market. Users do not need to customize special connectors for different flow meters, which significantly improves the versatility and applicability of the product. At the same time, it greatly simplifies the flow meter installation process. Operators only need to turn the first knob and the second knob to quickly adjust to the appropriate installation position of the flow meter, which greatly improves the installation efficiency.

[0016] 2. The rubber plate at the bottom of the pressure plate provides flexible cushioning during the fixing process, avoiding damage to the flow meter surface caused by rigid contact. At the same time, the progressive clamping method of the clamping plate ensures uniform force distribution, preventing local stress concentration that could damage the internal structure of the flow meter. It eliminates the need to purchase multiple connectors for different flow meters, reducing procurement costs. In addition, the convenient installation process reduces construction time and labor costs. The flow meter can also be quickly disassembled and replaced during later maintenance, further saving on operation and maintenance costs. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0023] As attached Figure 1-4 The bellows connector with flow meter shown includes a bellows connector body 1, threaded connecting pipes 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the bellows connector body 1, a flow meter fixing pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the bellows connector body 1, a threaded cap 4 is installed on the top of the flow meter fixing pipe 3, a flow meter 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded cap 4, and a translation mechanism is provided on the top of the bellows connector body 1.

[0024] The translation mechanism includes a fixed box 5, which is fixed to the top of the corrugated pipe joint body 1. A first knob 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed box 5. A threaded rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the first knob 6. A threaded sleeve 8 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 7. A connecting slide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded sleeve 8. A moving plate 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting slide rod 9. A pressing mechanism is provided on one side of the moving plate 10.

[0025] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, the pressing mechanism includes a threaded hole 11, which is formed on the top surface of the movable plate 10. A screw 12 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 11. A pressing plate 13 is provided at the bottom of the screw 12. A bearing 14 is installed between the screw 12 and the pressing plate 13. A rubber plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate 13. Movable clamping plates 17 are fixedly connected to one side of both the pressing plate 13 and the rubber plate 15. A second knob 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the screw 12, which facilitates the installation of the flow meter by pressing down the pressing plate 13 and the rubber plate 15 by rotating the second knob 16.

[0026] As attached Figure 1-3 As shown, a through groove 18 is provided on the top surface of the fixed box 5. The through groove 18 is slidably connected to the connecting slide rod 9, which serves as a limit and allows the moving plate 10 to move horizontally.

[0027] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, one end of the threaded rod 7 passes through the fixed box 5 and extends to one side of the fixed box 5. The threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the fixed box 5, so that the threaded rod 7 can rotate inside the fixed box 5. The cross-sectional shape of the moving plate 10 is set to L-shape, so that the pressure plate 13 and the rubber plate 15 are located on one side of the moving plate 10 for pressing down.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the threaded cap 4 is threadedly connected to the flow meter fixing pipe 3. A sealing ring 19 is provided between the threaded cap 4 and the flow meter fixing pipe 3 to ensure its sealing performance and prevent fluid from flowing out when the flow meter fixing pipe 3 is not in use.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The two ends of the corrugated pipe connector body 1 are fixedly connected to the threaded connecting pipe 2. The threaded structure allows for a tight connection with the corrugated pipe. During installation, the interface of the corrugated pipe is screwed into the threaded connecting pipe 2. The tightening effect of the thread ensures the sealing and stability of the connection between the corrugated pipe and the connector body, allowing the fluid to flow smoothly in the channel formed by the corrugated pipe and the connector body. For insertion flow meters, they can be inserted into the flow meter fixing pipe 3. Other flow meters can be installed on the top of the threaded cover 4. The sealing rubber ring 19 set between the threaded cover 4 and the flow meter fixing pipe 3 further enhances the sealing of the connection and prevents fluid leakage.

[0030] Rotating the first knob 6 causes the threaded rod 7 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 8, the rotation of the threaded rod 7 will cause the threaded sleeve 8 to move along the threaded rod 7, thereby adjusting the position of the moving plate 10 in the horizontal direction and providing a suitable space for the subsequent installation of different flow meters. For flow meters that need to be installed by pressing down, rotating the second knob 16 causes the screw 12 to rotate. Since the screw 12 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 11, the rotation of the screw 12 will cause it to move downward along the threaded hole 11. The pressure plate 13, which is installed at the bottom of the screw 12 through the bearing 14, moves downward accordingly. The rubber plate 15, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 13, contacts the flow meter and applies pressure. The rubber plate 15 increases the friction and buffer between the flow meter and the flow meter, preventing damage to the surface of the flow meter, while ensuring the pressing and fixing effect of the flow meter.

[0031] The movable clamping plate 17 is fixedly connected to the lower pressure plate 13 and the rubber plate 15 on one side. As the screw 12 drives the lower pressure plate 13 to press down, the two movable clamping plates 17 gradually move towards the middle, thereby clamping and fixing flow meters of different sizes and shapes. By adjusting the translation mechanism and the pressing mechanism, a stable installation of various non-insertion flow meters can be achieved, meeting the flow meter installation requirements in different usage scenarios.

[0032] In conclusion, the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
