Description

一种直插式压力管路接头A direct plug-in pressure pipe joint

背景技术Background technique

在过去的很长一段时间内,水泵出口或者污水提升器出口接到输出的压力管道上时,均使用带法兰的钢管与泵或提升器的法兰对接,并使用螺丝固定。在现场施工时,由于泵站出口与管线接口都是固定的要保证可靠连接和密封,要么现场焊接,需要现场设备,成熟的技术工人,需要花费较长的时间,成本很高;要么中间加一个橡胶柔性接头,价格较高。如今排水管多用承压塑料管,现场焊接不便,为改变该现状,做到价格低,使用方便,操作灵活。使用时只要将排水管直接插入该管路接头,允许排水管轴向尺寸有较大的偏差,且不影响施工,但是直插式的连接方式在使用时会由于连接牢固度差、密封性能随使用时间变长而变差的问题产生。For a long time in the past, when the outlet of the water pump or the outlet of the sewage lifter was connected to the output pressure pipe, a steel pipe with a flange was used to connect with the flange of the pump or lifter and fixed with screws. During on-site construction, since the outlet of the pump station and the pipeline interface are fixed to ensure reliable connection and sealing, either on-site welding requires on-site equipment and mature technical workers, which takes a long time and costs a lot; A rubber flexible joint, the price is higher. Nowadays, pressure-bearing plastic pipes are mostly used for drainage pipes, and it is inconvenient to weld on site. In order to change this status quo, low prices, convenient use, and flexible operation are achieved. When in use, as long as the drain pipe is directly inserted into the pipe joint, a large deviation in the axial dimension of the drain pipe is allowed without affecting the construction. A problem arises that the use time becomes longer and deteriorates.

A plurality of ring teeth 34 are provided on the inner wall of the annular clamp flap to effectively clamp the pressure pipe.

本实施例的工作原理如下:The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

使用时,将如图2所示的装置套设在压力管道的连接处,压力管道从压紧圈进入直至连接法兰座中部,然后锁紧两个螺母,螺母锁紧压着压紧圈朝连接法兰座方向运动,压紧圈通过环形沉孔结构的内壁,抵接着两个金属材质的环形卡瓣运动,金属材质不会变形,所以通过压紧间隙的设置,在挤压后可以通过间隙缩小达到环形卡瓣紧贴压力管道,而环形卡瓣内壁的环形齿在紧压后能牢牢的咬死压力管道,保证结构的牢固性,环形卡瓣抵着密封圈压向连接法兰座,由于密封圈和连接法兰座为锥面配套连接的方式,通过外壁的斜面挤压进入连接法兰座与压力管道之间,密封圈斜面的环形凸筋在挤压后与连接法兰座更加紧密,增加密封效果,内壁的环形凸筋与压力管道连接更紧密,增加密封效果。When in use, set the device shown in Figure 2 on the joint of the pressure pipe, the pressure pipe enters from the compression ring to the middle of the connecting flange seat, and then lock the two nuts, the nuts are locked and pressed against the compression ring toward The connection flange seat moves in the direction, and the compression ring passes through the inner wall of the annular counterbore structure, and moves against the two metal ring clips. The metal material will not be deformed, so through the setting of the compression gap, it can pass through after extrusion. The gap is narrowed so that the ring clip is close to the pressure pipe, and the ring teeth on the inner wall of the ring clip can firmly bite the pressure pipe after being pressed tightly to ensure the firmness of the structure. The ring clip presses against the sealing ring to the connecting flange Seat, because the sealing ring and the connecting flange seat are connected by a tapered surface, they are squeezed into the space between the connecting flange seat and the pressure pipe through the inclined surface of the outer wall, and the annular ribs on the inclined surface of the sealing ring are connected with the connecting flange after extrusion. The seat is tighter to increase the sealing effect, and the annular rib on the inner wall is more tightly connected to the pressure pipe to increase the sealing effect.

其中环形卡瓣与密封圈之间通过卡槽和卡勾连接,在不连接压力管道时,不会从接头内部掉落,保证接头的完整性,并且在不同直径的压力管道上使用时,通过缝隙收缩,也能完美的安装,成为通用件。Among them, the annular clasp and the sealing ring are connected by a card groove and a hook. When the pressure pipe is not connected, it will not fall from the inside of the joint, ensuring the integrity of the joint. When used on pressure pipes of different diameters, through The gap shrinks, and it can also be installed perfectly, becoming a universal piece.
