Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cast steel parts technology, and in particular to a cast steel part that is easy to connect. Background Technology
[0002] Cast steel components, as key parts in the industrial field that bear heavy loads and adapt to complex working conditions, are widely used in engineering machinery, pipeline systems, heavy equipment, and other fields. In actual assembly and use, the connection efficiency and stability of cast steel components directly affect the overall equipment's installation progress, operational safety, and ease of maintenance. Especially in the modular assembly of large equipment or on-site emergency repair scenarios, the demand for rapid docking, precise positioning, and reliable locking of cast steel components is becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, developing cast steel components that are easy to connect has become an important direction for improving industrial production efficiency.
[0003] In existing technologies, the connection of cast steel parts mostly adopts traditional flange connections or welding methods. Flange connections are fixed by bolts passing through the through holes of two flanges and tightening them with nuts. The technical principle is to use the preload of the bolts to ensure a tight fit between the flange faces, relying on a gasket between the flange faces for sealing. Welding, on the other hand, involves melting the connecting ends of the cast steel parts at high temperatures, fusing the materials to form a monolithic structure, and using intermolecular bonding forces to ensure connection strength. In addition, some scenarios use pin connections, where a pin passes through the shaft holes of two cast steel parts, supplemented by cotter pins or retaining rings to restrict axial displacement, achieving a detachable connection.
[0004] However, existing technologies have significant limitations in practical applications: traditional flange connections require precise alignment of multiple bolt holes, making the positioning process cumbersome and time-consuming, especially when connecting heavy cast steel parts, where manual labor alone cannot guarantee positioning accuracy; although welding can achieve high-strength connections, it cannot be easily disassembled, and the welding process is prone to stress concentration, affecting the performance of the cast steel parts; pin connections are prone to loosening under vibration conditions, leading to decreased connection stability and making it difficult to meet the requirements for long-term reliable operation. Therefore, a cast steel part that is easy to connect is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0034] 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.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a cast steel component that is easy to connect, comprising a cast steel component 1, a cast steel component 2 disposed on the side wall of the cast steel component 1, and a fixing component disposed on the side wall of the cast steel component 1. The fixing component is used to realize the quick connection and stable fixation of the cast steel component 1 and the cast steel component 2, achieving the effect of efficient assembly and reliable load bearing; a sealing component is disposed inside the cast steel component 1 and the cast steel component 2, which is used to block the leakage of the medium, achieving the effect of sealing and preventing leakage.
[0036] The fixing components include a first retaining ring 3 and a second retaining ring 4, both made of alloy steel. Their function is to provide rigid support and enclose the connecting parts. The side wall of the second retaining ring 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first retaining ring 3. The second retaining ring 4 cooperates with the first retaining ring 3 to open and close, achieving the effect of quickly fitting or separating the cast steel parts. The side walls of the first cast steel part 1 and the second cast steel part 2 are slidably connected inside the first retaining ring 3 and the second retaining ring 4. A first retaining sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first retaining ring 3, and a first retaining hook 7 is fixedly connected inside the first retaining sleeve 5. A second retaining sleeve 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second retaining ring 4, and a second retaining hook 8 is slidably connected inside the second retaining sleeve 6. A spring 1 is installed inside the second retaining sleeve 6. 10. Spring 10 provides elastic driving force. One end of spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of sleeve 2 6, and the other end of spring 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of hook 2 8. Spring 10 moves in conjunction with hook 2 8 to achieve the effect of hook 2 8 automatically popping out and engaging with hook 1 7. A pressing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of hook 2 8. The pressing plate 9 is used to drive hook 2 8 to compress spring 10, thereby releasing the engagement. The side wall of the pressing plate 9 is slidably connected to the inside of sleeve 2 6. Hook 1 7 engages with hook 2 8. Hook 1 7 moves in conjunction with hook 2 8 to achieve the effect of temporary pre-fixation of the cast steel part.
[0037] The side wall of ferrule 5 is threaded with a fixing bolt 19, which is made of high-strength alloy and serves to provide tightening force. The side wall of fixing bolt 19 is slidably connected inside ferrule 6. The side wall of fixing bolt 19 is threaded with a self-locking nut 20, which cooperates with fixing bolt 19 to perform threaded locking movement, thereby preventing loosening and enhancing connection stability. The side wall of cast steel part 1 is fixedly connected with multiple positioning blocks 11. The positioning blocks 11 are used to embed into cast steel part 2 to achieve precise docking, thereby limiting circumferential rotation and ensuring positioning accuracy. The side wall of positioning block 11 is slidably connected inside cast steel part 2.
[0038] The aforementioned fixing components consist of positioning block 11, retaining ring 1 3, retaining ring 2 4, retaining sleeve 1 5, retaining sleeve 2 6, retaining hook 1 7, retaining hook 2 8, spring 10, fixing bolt 19 and self-locking nut 20. Through the synergistic effect of initial positioning by positioning block 11, pre-fixing by retaining hook and final tightening by bolt, the effect of rapid docking, precise positioning and long-term stable connection of cast steel parts is achieved.
[0039] Reference Figures 5-6 The sealing assembly includes an O-ring 12, which is made of rubber and functions to fill gaps through elastic deformation to achieve a seal. The sidewall of the O-ring 12 is slidably connected inside cast steel part 1 and cast steel part 2. Both cast steel parts 1 and 2 have fixedly connected heat insulation rings 14, which are made of asbestos fiber composite material and have good heat insulation properties. The heat insulation rings 14 are used to block heat transfer to the sealing components, thus protecting the sealing assembly and preventing it from aging and failing due to high temperatures. An installation sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the sidewall of the heat insulation ring 14. A sealing gasket 16 is slidably connected inside the installation sleeve 13. The sidewall of the sealing gasket 16 is fitted against the sidewall of the O-ring 12, and the sealing gasket 16 is used to compress the O-ring 12 and form a seal. The sealing gasket 16 is designed to enhance the sealing effect. A second spring 15 is installed inside the mounting sleeve 13, providing continuous thrust. One end of the second spring 15 is fixedly connected inside the mounting sleeve 13, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing gasket 16. The second spring 15 works in conjunction with the sealing gasket 16 to ensure that the sealing gasket 16 always tightly fits the O-ring 12. A first sealing lip 17 and a second sealing lip 18 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the sealing gasket 16. These two lipes contact the inner wall of the cast steel parts to form a first seal, achieving initial leak prevention. The side walls of the first and second sealing lips 17 and 18 are slidably connected inside the cast steel parts 1 and 2.
[0040] The sealing assembly consists of an O-ring 12, a heat insulation ring 14, a mounting sleeve 13, a sealing gasket 16, a second spring 15, a first sealing lip 17, and a second sealing lip 18. Through the synergistic effect of the double sealing defense and the spring preload, it achieves a sealing effect that effectively blocks media leakage and adapts to changes in operating conditions.
[0041] Working principle: When it is necessary to connect cast steel part 1 and cast steel part 2, the initial positioning is achieved first by multiple positioning blocks 11 on the side wall of cast steel part 1. The positioning blocks 11 slide into the corresponding grooves of cast steel part 2, restricting the relative circumferential rotation of the two parts and ensuring accurate docking. After positioning, retaining rings 3 and 4 are placed on the outside of the connection part of cast steel part 1 and cast steel part 2. The arc-shaped structure of the retaining rings wraps around the docking point of the two cast steel parts. Through the rotational connection characteristics of retaining rings 3 and 4, the two parts are closed. At this time, the retaining sleeve 5 on retaining ring 3 and the retaining sleeve 6 on retaining ring 4 are aligned. The retaining hook 8 inside retaining sleeve 6 pops out under the elastic force of spring 10 and automatically engages with the retaining hook 7 inside retaining sleeve 5, realizing the temporary pre-fixation of the two cast steel parts and avoiding misalignment during the connection process.
[0042] After pre-fixing, the fixing bolt 19 on the side wall of the first sleeve 5 passes through the corresponding hole of the second sleeve 6, and the self-locking nut 20 of the threaded connection is tightened. The axial force of the bolt is used to further tighten the first circlip 3 and the second circlip 4, ensuring that the first cast steel part 1 and the second cast steel part 2 fit tightly together. The self-locking nut 20 can prevent loosening caused by vibration and improve the reliability of the connection. If it is necessary to separate the two cast steel parts, press the pressing plate 9 inside the second sleeve 6 to drive the second hook 8 to compress the first spring 10, so that the second hook 8 and the first hook 7 are disengaged. Then loosen the fixing bolt 19 and the self-locking nut 20 to open the circlip and complete the disassembly.
[0043] When the two cast steel parts are joined, the mounting sleeves 13 inside are fixed on the heat insulation rings 14. The heat insulation rings 14 can block the transfer of external heat and protect the sealing components. The spring 15 inside the mounting sleeve 13 pushes the sealing gasket 16 to squeeze the O-ring 12 in the middle, so that the side wall of the sealing gasket 16 fits tightly with the O-ring 12. The sealing lips 17 and 18 on the sealing gasket 16 slide in contact with the inner walls of the cast steel parts 1 and 2 respectively, forming the first sealing line. At the same time, the compression of the O-ring 12 by the two sealing gaskets 16 causes the O-ring 12 to undergo elastic deformation, filling the sealing gap and forming the second sealing line. This double protection prevents media leakage.
