Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe connection technology, specifically a steel pipe docking device with a built-in sealing structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of industrial production and urban construction, pipeline systems are increasingly widely used in various fields. As a core component of pipeline systems, the quality of steel pipe connections directly determines the reliability of the entire system. Existing connection devices often use external sealing structures, such as gaskets in flange connections and sealing rings in clamp connections. These sealing structures are exposed to the external environment and are susceptible to corrosion, wear, and temperature changes, leading to decreased sealing performance and ultimately fluid leakage. Leakage is particularly problematic when transporting corrosive media or high-pressure fluids, not only wasting resources but also potentially causing safety accidents. Flange connections require welding of the steel pipe ends, and bolts need to be tightened one by one during installation, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Welded connections require professional welding equipment and technicians, and the welded joints cannot be disassembled. Later maintenance requires cutting the pipe, which increases maintenance costs and difficulty. Although some clamp-type docking devices do not require welding, the joints need to be precisely aligned during installation, and uneven force can easily occur during the tightening process, affecting installation efficiency. Existing pipe-connecting devices often use a single clamping method, such as bolt clamping or clamp clamping, when fixing steel pipes. This clamping method has limited fixing force on the steel pipe, and the steel pipe is prone to displacement when the pipeline is subjected to vibration, impact or thermal expansion and contraction, resulting in loosening at the joint. This not only affects the sealing performance, but may also cause the pipeline to fall off, causing safety hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to design a steel pipe-connecting device with a built-in sealing structure. Utility Model Content

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model discloses a steel pipe docking device with a built-in sealing structure, including a docking body 1 and a built-in sealing component; The docking body 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure with a through docking cavity inside. The two ends of the docking cavity are respectively used to insert two steel pipes 2 to be docked. The outer circumferential surface of the docking body 1 is provided with reinforcing ribs 11. The reinforcing ribs 11 are arranged along the axial direction of the docking body 1, and there are at least three reinforcing ribs 11, which are evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the docking body. The reinforcing ribs can enhance the structural strength of the docking body and prevent the docking body from deforming when subjected to external forces. The built-in sealing assembly is fixedly installed in the middle of the docking cavity. The built-in sealing assembly includes a sealing ring seat 3 and at least two sealing rings 4. The sealing ring seat 3 has an annular structure, with its outer circumferential surface fixedly connected to the inner wall of the docking cavity. Annular sealing grooves 5 are respectively formed on both end faces of the sealing ring seat 3. The sealing rings 4 are embedded in the annular sealing grooves 5, with their outer end faces protruding from the end face of the sealing ring seat 3, for tight contact with the end of the steel pipe inserted into the docking cavity. The inner wall of the docking cavity has an annular step, and the outer circumferential surface of the sealing ring seat has an annular protrusion. The annular protrusion engages with the annular step, enabling rapid fixation of the sealing ring seat within the docking cavity and facilitating its disassembly and replacement.
[0019] This utility model also includes a locking mechanism, which consists of two sets symmetrically arranged on the outer sides of both ends of the docking body 1. Each set of locking mechanisms includes an arc-shaped clamping block 6, an adjusting screw 7, and a fixing seat 8. The fixing seat 8 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the docking body 1. The adjusting screw 7 passes through the fixing seat 8 and is threadedly connected to it. The inner end of the adjusting screw 7 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped clamping block 6. The inner arc surface of the arc-shaped clamping block 6 is adapted to the outer circumferential surface of the steel pipe 2. The outer end of the adjusting screw 7 is provided with a knob 12, and the outer circumferential surface of the knob is provided with anti-slip protrusions. When the steel pipe is inserted into the docking cavity and positioned, rotating the knob will cause the adjusting screw to move the arc-shaped clamping block towards the steel pipe until the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped clamping block is tightly fitted with the outer circumferential surface of the steel pipe, thereby fixing the steel pipe in the docking cavity. For disassembly, simply rotate the knob in the opposite direction. The operation is convenient and requires no professional tools.
[0020] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a positioning component, which includes a positioning protrusion 9 and a positioning groove 10. The positioning protrusion 9 is disposed on the inner wall of the docking cavity, and the positioning groove 10 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the steel pipe. The positioning protrusion 9 and the positioning groove 10 are adapted to each other. This ensures that the steel pipe is quickly positioned after being inserted into the docking cavity, preventing circumferential rotation or axial displacement of the steel pipe within the docking cavity. The interference fit also enhances the stability of the positioning. During installation, the operator only needs to align the positioning groove of the steel pipe with the positioning protrusion on the inner wall of the docking cavity to accurately insert the steel pipe into the docking cavity without repeated adjustments, significantly improving installation efficiency.
[0021] Working principle: Insert the two steel pipes to be joined into the docking cavities at both ends of the docking body. During insertion, align the positioning protrusions on the inner wall of the docking cavity with the positioning grooves on the outer circumference of the steel pipe, ensuring they fit and engage, and guaranteeing that the ends of the steel pipes abut against the sealing rings of the built-in sealing components. Rotate the knobs at the outer ends of the adjusting screws in the two sets of locking mechanisms, driving the adjusting screws forward along the internal threads of the fixed base, pushing the arc-shaped clamping blocks closer to the steel pipes until the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped clamping blocks is tightly fitted against the outer wall of the steel pipes, completing the steel pipe locking.
[0022] In summary, this utility model significantly improves the sealing performance at the joint through the design of the built-in sealing component, effectively preventing fluid leakage; at the same time, the cooperation between the locking mechanism and the positioning component simplifies the installation process and improves the stability of the joint.
