Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline sealing technology, and in particular relates to a natural gas pipeline interface sealing device. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas is one of the safest fuels. It contains no carbon monoxide and is lighter than air. If it leaks, it immediately diffuses upwards, making it less likely to accumulate and form an explosive gas. Its safety is relatively high compared to other fuels. Using natural gas as an energy source can reduce the consumption of coal and oil, thus significantly improving environmental pollution. Natural gas pipelines are the core carrier for long-distance natural gas transportation, and the sealing performance of pipeline joints directly affects the safety and reliability of the entire transmission system. Traditional pipeline connections often use flange-gasket mechanical seal structures, relying on bolt preload to compress asbestos, rubber, or metal spiral wound gaskets to achieve a seal. Aging, deformation, and damage to the gaskets can lead to seal failure, causing natural gas leaks and potentially resulting in safety accidents. Utility Model Content

[0042] like Figure 1-6As shown, a natural gas pipeline interface sealing device includes a first pipeline 1 and a second pipeline 2. The first pipeline 1 has a first connector 3 at one end, and the second pipeline 2 has a second connector 4 at one end. The first connector 3 and the second connector 4 are snap-fitted together. It also includes clamps 5, with grooves 51 on the inner sides of the clamps 5. The first connector 3 and the second connector 4 are snapped into the grooves 51. Pressing members 6 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the grooves 51, pressing against the sides of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 respectively, making the connection between the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 tighter. Connecting blocks 52 are provided on both sides of the clamps 5, and the connecting blocks 52 are fixedly connected by fastening bolts 53 and nuts 54. A spring washer 55 is fitted on the fastening bolt 53, and the spring washer 55 is located between the fastening bolt 53 and the connecting block 52. The spring washer 55 provides pre-tightening force for the bolt connection through elastic deformation, thereby improving the connection between the two clamps 5. For tightness, one of the clamps 5 has a fixing block 56 on its outer side, which is inserted into the support frame 7; the support frame 7 has a fixing groove 74, in which the fixing block 56 is inserted; the height of the support feet of the support frame 7 is adjustable, and the support feet are in contact with the ground in the pipeline laying project. After the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 are snapped together, the outer side is covered by the clamp 5, and the pressing part 6 in the groove 51 presses against the sides of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4, making the snapping of the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 tighter, improving the sealing of the interface between the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. In addition, the support frame 7 supports the seal at the interface between the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, preventing uneven stress at the interface caused by gravity torsion of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, which could cause the interface to break and lead to natural gas leakage, thus better strengthening the sealing effect of the pipeline interface.
[0043] Furthermore, a first sealing block 31 is provided on the side of the first connector 3 near the second connector 4, and a corresponding first sealing groove 41 is provided on the second connector 4, with the first sealing block 31 inserted into the first sealing groove 41; a second sealing block 42 is provided on the side of the second connector 4 near the first connector 3, and a corresponding second sealing groove 32 is provided on the first connector 3, with the second sealing block 42 inserted into the second sealing groove 32. Both the first sealing groove 41 and the second sealing groove 32 are provided with sealing gaskets made of silicone rubber. A sealing gasket made of silicone is provided on the inner side of the slot 51. Through the cooperation of the first sealing block 31 with the first sealing groove 41 and the second sealing block 42 with the second sealing groove 32, the contact between the first connector 3 and the second connector 4 becomes tighter, and the route that natural gas needs to take to leak is longer, thus reducing the probability of natural gas leakage. In addition, the silicone rubber sealing gasket further enhances the sealing performance at the interface.
[0044] Furthermore, the upper and lower sides of the slot 51 are provided with first sliding grooves 61; the pressing member 6 includes a spring 62 and a pressing block 63. The spring 62 is disposed in the first sliding groove 61, and the other end of the spring 62 is connected to the pressing block 63. One end of the pressing block 63 is slidably disposed in the first sliding groove 61, and the other end is located in the slot 51. When the clamp 5 secures the outer sides of the first connecting member 3 and the second connecting member 4, the spring 62 is in a compressed state, pushing the side of the pressing block 63 against the first sliding groove 61. The sides of the corresponding first connector 3 or second connector 4 abut against each other and generate pressure. The side of the clamping block 63 near the center of the clamp 5 is set with an incline, that is, the clamping block 63 is set in a trapezoidal shape. When the clamp 5 tightens the first connector 3 and the second connector 4, the first connector 3 or the second connector 4 will generate pressure through the incline of the clamping block 63 when it enters the slot 51, so that the clamping block 63 slides into the first slide groove 61 without the need for manual pressing of the clamping block 63 into the first slide groove 61.
[0045] Furthermore, the support foot includes a first support rod 71 and a second support rod 72. The bottom of the first support rod 71 has a movable groove, and one end of the second support rod 72 is slidably disposed in the movable groove. An adjusting sleeve 73 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the first support rod 71, and the adjusting sleeve 73 has threads inside. The side of the second support rod 72 has threads, and the second support rod 72 is threadedly connected to the adjusting sleeve 73. By rotating the adjusting sleeve 73, the second support rod 72 can be moved in the movable groove, thereby adjusting the length of the support foot so that the second support rod 72 contacts the ground, providing better support for the pipe interface.
[0046] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the ends of the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 are connected, the sides of the first connecting piece 3 and the second connecting piece 4 are in contact. The first sealing block 31 is inserted into the first sealing groove 41, and the second sealing block 42 is inserted into the second sealing groove 32, thus completing the insertion connection between the first connecting piece 3 and the second connecting piece 4. Then, the slots 51 of the two clamps 5 are fitted onto the outer sides of the first connecting piece 3 and the second connecting piece 4. The compressed spring 62 pushes the pressing block 63 to abut against the side of the first connecting piece 3 or the second connecting piece 4 and generate pressure. Then, the clamps 5 are fixed by the fastening bolts 53, the spring washers 55 and the nuts 54, so that the fixing groove 74 of the connecting frame is inserted into the fixing block 56 of the clamp 5 located below. By rotating the adjusting sleeve 73, the second support rod 72 can be moved in the moving groove, thereby adjusting the length of the support foot so that the second support rod 72 contacts the ground, providing better support for the pipe interface.
[0047] Of course, the above description is not intended to limit the present utility model, and the present utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
