Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of grooved pipe fitting connection technology, and particularly relates to a grooved pipe fitting connection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Grooved pipe connections are a type of pipe connection that involves pre-grooving the pipe ends and using clamps, sealing rings, and connecting components for rapid installation. This connection method requires no welding or threading and offers advantages such as convenient installation, excellent sealing, and high detachability. It is widely used in water supply, drainage, fire protection, and industrial piping systems and is suitable for connecting pipes of various materials.

[0003] However, most existing grooved pipe fitting connection structures achieve rigid installation of the connector to the pipe through simple bolt connections during installation. But during long-term use, when the bolts loosen, adjacent pipes may loosen and fall off, causing leakage and affecting the normal use of the pipeline. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a grooved pipe fitting connection structure, which aims to solve the problem that in most existing grooved pipe fitting connection structures, the connection is rigidly installed on the pipe by simple bolt connection during installation. However, during long-term use, when the bolts loosen, adjacent pipes will loosen and fall off, causing leakage and affecting the normal use of the pipe.

[0006] The installation mechanism includes a semi-circular connector, a connecting groove, an alignment groove, a locking head, a bolt, a sliding groove, an installation groove, a spring, a locking block, and a limiting block. The semi-circular connector is tightly fitted to the surface of the pipe body. The two ends of the semi-circular connector have connecting grooves. One side of the semi-circular connector has an alignment groove. The other side of the semi-circular connector is fixedly connected to a locking head. The connecting groove is fitted with a bolt. The two side walls of the alignment groove have sliding grooves. The other side of the sliding groove has an installation groove. The installation groove is connected to a spring. The other side of the spring is connected to a locking block. The other side of the locking block is connected to a limiting block.

[0007] Preferably, the semi-circular connector is provided in two sets, and the two sets of semi-circular connectors are connected by bolts and engaging components to form a mutually closed circular structure.

[0008] Preferably, there are two sets of alignment grooves, and the two sets of alignment grooves are symmetrically distributed along the connecting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the engaging head is hexagonal, and the end of the engaging head is fitted into the alignment groove, forming a sliding structure with the alignment groove.

[0010] Preferably, the main body of the locking block is engaged in the mounting groove, and the locking block and the mounting groove form a sliding structure through a spring.

[0011] Preferably, the main body of the limiting block is fitted into the slide groove, and the limiting block and the slide groove form a sliding structure with each other through a spring and a locking block.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the grooved pipe fitting connection structure provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0015] By using a simple component assembly, the installation mechanism, based on existing bolted connections, employs a simple sliding engagement structure of locking heads and limiting blocks. This allows the device to prevent adjacent pipes from loosening or falling off for a certain period even when bolts become loose, thus improving the device's usability. Simultaneously, through the sliding engagement of components such as springs, it can absorb the forces exerted on the pipes during use to a certain extent, enhancing the device's adaptability and ensuring the normal operation of the pipes.
