Flanged Joints TRIZ Cases

A thermosetting resin impregnated tubular element undergoes alternating fibre winding to create a laminated structure for flange production.

Prestressed spring element presses half-shells apart to resolve alignment difficulty in tight spaces.

A pipe attachment clamp uses a hinged lever latch to secure collars without screw tightening.

Curved gasket protrusions self-align within flange receiving grooves, resolving the trade-off between high dimensional accuracy and manufacturing cost.

Groove and flange design enables lateral insertion of air ducts, eliminating axial compression to simplify assembly in confined spaces.

Plastic deformation of the graphite seal prevents media contact with bare pipe ends, reducing subsea repair degradation.

An adjustable gasket clamp secures the seal to prevent hand injury during pipe alignment and simplifies replacement.

Rotational leverage amplifies user force to secure tube joints, eliminating manual alignment effort.

Segmented actuatable reaction members resist bending loads on hubs, reducing connector mass and handling costs.

A hydraulic coupler uses segmented clamping members and rods to displace connector hubs for secure pipe joining.

Segmented connector bodies with peel strips prevent biological contamination while maintaining connection reliability without excessive device complexity.

A high pressure pipe coupling uses a metallic outer sleeve to leverage the capstan effect for holding force.

Composite protrusions in a metal seal ring reduce reaction forces and maintain sealed connections across varying orientations.

A pipe coupling structure uses abutting flat sealing surfaces to create a reliable fluid seal without rubber rings.

Camming devices on end plates engage existing pipe fasteners to center the flow passage, resolving misalignment issues without additional hardware.

Merged service and emergency functions allow clamping modules to open simultaneously, reducing blockage risks during rapid disconnection.
