[0002] In previous underwater expansion bend installation projects, divers mostly used their hands to directly operate the flange gaskets. However, due to the low underwater visibility, divers could not determine whether the gaskets were installed correctly by observation and touch. This resulted in low work efficiency, which directly affected the project progress and also easily caused hand crush injuries to personnel.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0010] Furthermore, the adjustment component includes a hand crank, which includes a handle and an adjustment rope disposed at the output end of the hand crank. By rotating the handle, the extension length of the adjustment rope can be changed, thereby adjusting the relative position between the washer and the flange.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of the third link is provided with an arc-shaped base, and the third link is connected to the second link through the arc-shaped base.

[0012] Furthermore, there are two second links, located at both ends of the first link.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0023] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0024] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 This invention describes an auxiliary installation mechanism for flange gaskets and a flange gasket docking device.

[0025] This embodiment provides an auxiliary installation mechanism for flange gaskets. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the flange gasket docking device of this utility model; the flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism is used to dock the flange 100 and the gasket 200 together. The flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism includes a first connecting rod 1 and a support component 2 connected to the first connecting rod 1. The support component 2 is inserted into the flange 100 so that the support component 2 and the flange 100 are relatively fixed. An adjustment component 3 is provided on the first connecting rod 1. The adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment rope. The adjustment rope is hung on the gasket 200 and is used to adjust the relative position between the gasket 200 and the flange 100.

[0026] This flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism has the following advantages: 1. This flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism enables remote fine-tuning of the flange 100 and gasket 200 by adjusting the rope to attach the gasket 200, thus avoiding the uncertainty of direct underwater operation by divers.

[0027] 2. This flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism reduces the risk of crush injuries by minimizing direct hand contact with the flange 100 and gasket 200.

[0028] 3. This flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism is particularly suitable for underwater low visibility scenarios, using mechanical structure to assist in replacing manual judgment.

[0029] Furthermore, Figure 2 This is a top view of the flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism in this embodiment; Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the first connecting rod and support assembly in this embodiment; as shown. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly 2 includes a second connecting rod 21, which is inserted into the flange 100 to fix the second connecting rod 21 relative to the flange 100. The second connecting rod 21 is connected to the first connecting rod 1, and the second connecting rod 21 and the first connecting rod 1 are parallel to each other. The insertion of the second connecting rod 21 into the flange 100 forms a rigid connection, ensuring that the overall mechanism does not shift during installation. The parallel connecting rod design simplifies the installation path and makes it easier for divers to quickly align the holes in the flange 100.

[0030] Furthermore, the support assembly 2 also includes a third link 22, which connects the first link 1 and the second link 21, and the third link 22 is perpendicular to both the first link 1 and the second link 21. This forms a triangular stabilizing structure to prevent the mechanism from swaying due to underwater water flow impact. The vertical link design provides a basis for subsequent telescopic adjustment.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the third link 22 includes a first telescopic part 221 and a second telescopic part 222 that are slidably connected. One of the first telescopic part 221 and the second telescopic part 222 is connected to the first link 1, and the other is connected to the second link 21. The first telescopic part 221 and the second telescopic part 222 can move relative to each other to adjust the distance between the first link 1 and the second link 21. This adapts to the installation requirements of flanges 100 of different sizes, making it more versatile. The telescopic structure allows for dynamic adjustment to address initial positional deviations between the flange 100 and the gasket 200.

[0032] Furthermore, the support assembly 2 also includes a locking part 223. At least one through hole is provided on both the first telescopic part 221 and the second telescopic part 222. The locking part 223 can adjust the distance between the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 21 by passing through different through holes on the first telescopic part 221 and the second telescopic part 222. Selecting a fixed spacing through the through holes prevents loosening during installation. Divers can manually switch the positions of the through holes without tools, improving efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment assembly 3 includes a hand-cranked turntable, which includes a handle and an adjustment rope located at the output end of the turntable. Rotating the handle changes the extension length of the adjustment rope, thereby adjusting the relative position between the washer 200 and the flange 100. The hand-cranked turntable provides torque amplification, facilitating fine-tuning of the washer 200's position. This reduces the diver's physical exertion, making it particularly suitable for deep-water, high-pressure environments.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the third link 22 is provided with an arc-shaped base 224, through which the third link 22 is connected to the second link 21. The arc-shaped base 224 conforms to the flange 100 curved surface to reduce local stress concentration. The arc-shaped contact surface increases friction and prevents slippage during underwater operations.

[0035] Furthermore, two second connecting rods 21 are provided, one at each end of the first connecting rod 1. The double connecting rods support and distribute the weight of the flange 100, improving balance. In the event of failure on one side, the other side can still maintain basic function.

[0036] Furthermore, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the first link in this embodiment, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the first link 1 includes a third telescopic part 11 and a fourth telescopic part 12 disposed at both ends of the third telescopic part 11. The third telescopic part 11 and the fourth telescopic part 12 are slidably connected. The fourth telescopic part 12 is connected to the second link 21. The third telescopic part 11 and the fourth telescopic part 12 can move relative to each other to adjust the relative distance between the two second links 21, thereby adapting to washers 200 of different diameters, expanding application scenarios, and the telescopic structure is convenient for transportation and storage.

[0037] Specifically, the first link 1 also includes a locking part 223 and a through hole. The locking part 223 can be adjusted through different through holes provided on the third telescopic part 11 and the fourth telescopic part 12 to adjust the relative distance between the two second links 21. In other words, the adjustment mode of the first link 1 is the same as that of the second link 21, so it will not be described in detail.

[0038] This embodiment provides a flange gasket docking device, including the above-mentioned flange gasket auxiliary installation mechanism, and also includes a support conduit 300 and a drive mechanism. The support conduit 300 is connected to the flange 100 and is used to support the flange 100. The drive mechanism is used to drive the support conduit 300 to move so that the flange 100 on the support conduit 300 can be docked and assembled with the gasket 200.

[0039] This flange gasket mating equipment has the following advantages: 1. The drive mechanism of this flange gasket docking equipment can drive the flange 100 to dock with the gasket 200, reducing external interference.

[0040] 2. The drive mechanism of the flange gasket docking equipment can support the conduit 300 to provide a fixed reference for the flange 100, ensuring that the docking axis is aligned.

[0041] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
