Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of stainless steel pipe connection technology, and in particular to a stainless steel pipe connection sealing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Stainless steel pipes are widely used in fluid transport systems across numerous fields, including industrial production, building water supply and drainage, and gas transmission, due to their advantages such as corrosion resistance, high strength, and long service life. In the actual use of stainless steel pipes, the sealing of the connections between pipes is a crucial factor in ensuring the safe and stable operation of the entire system.

[0003] Currently, common stainless steel pipe connection and sealing methods include welding, flange connections, and threaded connections. While welding can achieve high connection strength and sealing performance, it is prone to deformation and stress concentration during the welding process, and is difficult to disassemble after welding, which is not conducive to later maintenance and repair. Flange connections have good sealing performance and are easy to disassemble, but require more parts, resulting in higher installation costs and larger space requirements. Threaded connections have a relatively simple structure and are relatively convenient to operate, therefore, they are also widely used.

[0004] In related technologies, the traditional method of connecting two stainless steel pipes is by threaded connection. However, the sealing performance is limited. During the threaded connection process of stainless steel pipes, the thread surface is easily damaged, such as by scratches or deformation. This damage will destroy the integrity of the thread, making it impossible for the sealing surface to fit tightly and reducing the sealing performance. Especially when stainless steel pipes are frequently disassembled and installed, the wear of the thread will be more severe, making it difficult to meet the needs of some special scenarios with extremely high sealing requirements.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a stainless steel pipe connection sealing mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solution of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] See Figures 1-6 This application provides a stainless steel pipe connection sealing mechanism, including two stainless steel pipes 1 and a connector 2 disposed between the two stainless steel pipes 1. Internal threaded mounting grooves 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the connector 2. A common connecting hole 4 is provided on the inner wall of the side of the two internal threaded mounting grooves 3 that are close to each other. The ends of the two stainless steel pipes 1 that are close to each other pass through the corresponding internal threaded mounting grooves 3 and extend into the connecting hole 4. Bearings 5 ​​are fixedly mounted on both stainless steel pipes 1. External threaded sleeves 6 are fixedly mounted on the outer rings of both bearings 5. The ends of the two external threaded sleeves 6 that are close to each other are threaded into the corresponding internal threaded mounting grooves 3. The threaded connection between the external threaded sleeves 6 and the internal threaded mounting grooves 3, combined with the bearings 5, ensures that the stainless steel pipes 1 and the connector 2 are tightly fixed and can withstand certain axial tensile and compressive forces. At the same time, the threaded connection method makes the installation and disassembly of the stainless steel pipes 1 and the connector 2 simple and convenient, reducing construction difficulty and time costs.

[0026] In this embodiment, a sealing assembly is provided between the two stainless steel pipes 1 and the connector 2. The sealing assembly includes two sealing rings 7, a frustum-shaped cover 9, a frustum-shaped cover 10, and a sealing ring 11. The two sealing rings 7 are respectively fixedly installed on the inner walls of the two internal threaded mounting grooves 3 that are close to each other. Annular grooves 8 are provided on the sides of the two external threaded sleeves 6 that are close to each other. The two sealing rings 7 are slidably sealed in the corresponding annular grooves 8. The frustum-shaped cover 9 and the frustum-shaped cover 10 are respectively fixedly installed at the ends of the two stainless steel pipes 1 that are close to each other. The left side of the frustum-shaped cover 9 extends into the frustum-shaped cover 10. The sealing ring 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frustum-shaped cover 10. The frustum-shaped cover 9 slides and seals with the frustum-shaped cover 10 through the sealing ring 11. The sealing assembly also includes a sealing ring 3. 12. Sealing ring 3 12 is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of stainless steel pipe 1. The outer ring wall of sealing ring 3 12 slides and seals against the inner wall of external thread sleeve 6. The design of sealing ring 1 7 forms an annular sealing structure between the internal thread assembly groove 3 and the external thread sleeve 6, effectively preventing liquid or gas from leaking from the transverse gap between connector 2 and stainless steel pipe 1. The design of sealing ring 2 11 forms an annular sealing structure between frustum-shaped cover 1 9 and frustum-shaped cover 2 10, further enhancing the sealing effect. The design of sealing ring 3 12 forms an annular sealing structure between the outer wall of stainless steel pipe 1 and the inner wall of external thread sleeve 6, preventing liquid or gas from penetrating along the axial direction of stainless steel pipe 1. Thus, through the synergistic effect of multiple seals, the sealing performance of the connection between the two stainless steel pipes 1 can be ensured, making it suitable for fluid transportation scenarios with stringent sealing requirements.

[0027] In this embodiment, there are no fewer than two sealing rings 11 and no fewer than two sealing rings 12 on the same external threaded sleeve 6, which are used to enhance the sealing effect of the connection between the two stainless steel pipes 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, fixing blocks 13 are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the two stainless steel pipes 1. Positioning grooves 14 are provided on all four fixing blocks 13. Positioning components are provided at the top and bottom of the connector 2. These positioning components restrict the rotation of the stainless steel pipes 1. Each positioning component includes a shaft seat 15, a lead screw 16, a lifting beam 17, two positioning rods 18, and a knob 19. The shaft seat 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connector 2. The lead screw 16 is rotatably installed on the shaft seat 15. The lifting beam 17 is threaded onto the lead screw 16. The two positioning rods 18 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the lifting beam 17. One end of each positioning rod 18 is slidably installed on the corresponding positioning rod. Inside the groove 14, the knob 19 is fixedly installed at the end of the lead screw 16 away from the bearing 15. The design of the positioning component effectively restricts the rotation of the stainless steel pipe 1. The positioning component, consisting of the bearing 15, lead screw 16, lifting beam 17, positioning rod 18, and knob 19, ensures that the stainless steel pipe 1 will not be twisted due to external force during use by inserting the positioning rod 18 into the positioning groove 14 of the fixing block 13. This enhances the stability and reliability of the connection and improves the safety of the entire pipeline system. The design of the knob 19 makes it easy for operators to quickly adjust the position of the positioning rod 18, thereby achieving rapid positioning and fixing of the stainless steel pipe 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, two symmetrically arranged guide rods 20 are fixedly installed on the lifting beam 17. Two guide grooves 21 are opened at the top and bottom of the connector 2. The guide rods 20 are slidably installed in the corresponding guide grooves 21. By utilizing the cooperation between the guide rods 20 and the guide grooves 21, the stability and accuracy of the lifting process of the lifting beam 17 are ensured, making the positioning operation smoother and further improving the installation efficiency.

[0030] With the above structure, the operating principle of the stainless steel pipe connection sealing mechanism provided in this application is as follows:

[0031] When the two stainless steel pipes 1 are installed and connected to the connector 2, the ends of the two stainless steel pipes 1 with the external thread sleeves 6 are aligned with the internal thread assembly grooves 3 on one side of the connector 2. By rotating the external thread sleeves 6, the connection between the two stainless steel pipes 1 and the connector 2 is achieved by the threaded connection. At this time, the left side of the frustum-shaped cover 9 is inserted into the frustum-shaped cover 10. The sealing ring 11 inside the frustum-shaped cover 10 slides and seals against the outer wall of the frustum-shaped cover 9. The two sealing rings 7 are respectively inserted and sealed in the corresponding annular grooves 8.

[0032] After the two stainless steel pipes 1 are connected and fixed to the connector 2, the operator rotates the knob 19. The knob 19 drives the lead screw 16 to rotate. Under the threaded transmission of the lead screw 16 and the guiding action of the guide rod 20 and the guide groove 21, the lifting beam 17 drives the positioning rods 18 at both ends to gradually move towards the connector 2. When one end of the positioning rod 18 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 14, the two stainless steel pipes 1 are quickly positioned and fixed, ensuring that the connected stainless steel pipes 1 will not be twisted due to external force during use, thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0033] During use, the sealing ring 7 fits tightly against the inner wall of the annular groove 8, forming an annular sealing structure between the internal thread assembly groove 3 and the external thread sleeve 6, effectively preventing liquid or gas leakage from the transverse gap between the connector 2 and the stainless steel pipe 1. The sealing ring 11 forms an annular sealing structure between the frustum-shaped cover 9 and the frustum-shaped cover 10, further enhancing the sealing effect. The sealing ring 12 forms an annular sealing structure between the outer wall of the stainless steel pipe 1 and the inner wall of the external thread sleeve 6, preventing liquid or gas from penetrating along the axial direction of the stainless steel pipe 1. Thus, through the synergistic effect of multiple seals, the sealing performance of the connection between the two stainless steel pipes 1 can be ensured, making it suitable for fluid transportation scenarios with stringent sealing requirements.
