Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bellows compensators, specifically a bellows compensator with a protection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A bellows compensator is a type of compensating element that utilizes the effective expansion and contraction of its main working body, the bellows, to absorb dimensional changes in pipelines, ducts, and containers caused by thermal expansion and contraction, or to compensate for axial, lateral, and angular displacements of pipelines, ducts, and containers. It can also be used for noise reduction and vibration damping. It has a wide range of applications in modern industry. Bellows compensators are also commonly called expansion joints or telescoping joints. They consist of a bellows (an elastic element) that forms its main working body and accessories such as end pipes, supports, flanges, and ducts.

[0003] In the existing technology, the fixed mounting flange holes of the bellows compensator make it difficult to adapt to different types of pipes for installation, resulting in certain limitations. In addition, the limiting of the bellows compensator is often simply achieved by tightening the lock nut. However, due to deformation and vibration during the use of the bellows compensator, the nut is prone to loosening. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the bellows compensator by developing a bellows compensator with a protective mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a bellows compensator with a protection mechanism, including a bellows compensator body 1, an externally fixedly connected mounting flange 2, an externally fixedly connected mounting plate 3, an internally movably connected mounting stud 4, an externally provided limit protection mechanism 5 for the mounting stud 4, and an internally provided auxiliary mounting mechanism 6 for the mounting flange 2.

[0029] The limit protection mechanism 5 includes an adjustment component 51 and a limit component 52. The adjustment component 51 is located outside the mounting stud 4, and the limit component 52 is located outside the mounting plate 3.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 51 includes a connecting platform 511, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting stud 4. A bidirectional threaded rod 514 is rotatably connected inside the connecting platform 511. A first limiting rod 515 is fixedly connected inside the connecting platform 511. A movable frame 512 is slidably connected to the outside of the first limiting rod 515. An abutment ring 513 is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable frame 512, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the two sets of abutment rings 513, so as to meet the support for the bellows compensator body 1 during the contraction process and avoid damage caused by excessive contraction of the bellows compensator body 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the abutment ring 513 is movably connected to the mounting stud 4, the movable frame 512 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 514, and the movable frame 512 is slidably connected to the connecting table 511, which facilitates a more stable adjustment process.

[0032] Furthermore, the limiting component 52 includes a locking nut 521, which is threaded to the outside of the mounting stud 4. A connecting box 522 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 3. A spring 525 is fixedly connected inside the connecting box 522. A sliding rod 526 is fixedly connected inside the connecting box 522. A sliding plate 523 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 525 away from the connecting box 522. A locking block 524 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding plate 523 away from the spring 525. This facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the two sets of mounting flanges 2 and limits the contact of the locking nut 521, preventing the locking nut 521 from loosening during use and causing unexpected situations.

[0033] Furthermore, the slide plate 523 is slidably connected to the connecting box 522, the slide plate 523 is slidably connected to the slide rod 526, the locking block 524 is slidably connected to the connecting box 522, and the locking nut 521 and the locking block 524 are respectively provided with grooves, and the locking block 524 is inserted into the groove, which makes the use process more stable.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 6-7 Furthermore, in conjunction with Embodiment 1, the auxiliary installation mechanism 6 includes an installation platform 61, which is fixedly connected inside the installation flange 2. A second threaded rod 62 is rotatably connected inside the installation platform 61, and a second limiting rod 64 is fixedly connected inside the installation platform 61. An installation block 63 is slidably connected to the outside of the second limiting rod 64, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the installation block 63, thereby meeting the requirements for adapting the installation to different positions of the external pipeline.

[0036] Furthermore, the mounting block 63 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 62, and the mounting block 63 is slidably connected to the mounting platform 61, which facilitates a more stable installation process.

[0037] In actual operation, when this device is used, the threaded rod is first used as a T-type threaded rod to give it self-locking properties. The mounting flange 2 and the external connecting flange are sealed with a sealing ring. The operator moves the device to the designated installation position on the pipeline. The operator uses a hex wrench or other tools to turn the second threaded rod 62. The rotation of the second threaded rod 62, in conjunction with the second limit rod 64, causes the mounting block 63 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting block 63 until it matches the mounting hole position of the external pipeline connecting flange. Then, the locking bolts are used to complete the installation of the mounting flange 2 and the external connecting flange. After installation, the operator adjusts the movement limit range of the bellows compensator body 1 according to the connection distance between the pipelines. The locking nut 521 is turned using an adjustable wrench or other tools. To adjust the distance between the two sets of mounting flanges 2, the operator pulls the sliding plate 523. The movement of the sliding plate 523, in conjunction with the spring 525, causes the locking block 524 to move until it contacts and limits the locking nut 521. This prevents the locking nut 521 from loosening during use and causing unexpected situations. Then, according to the usage requirements of the bellows compensator body 1, the operator uses tools such as a hex wrench to rotate the bidirectional threaded rod 514. The rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 514, in conjunction with the first limit rod 515, causes the movable frame 512 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sets of abutment rings 513. This meets the support requirements for the bellows compensator body 1 during the contraction process, ensuring that the normal deformation is not affected while preventing the bellows compensator body 1 from being damaged due to excessive contraction.
