Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of train parts, in particular to an expansion loose joint.

Background

The pipeline on the train expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because the train has a large running distance span and the temperature difference of the running environment of the train is obvious in the running process, the deformation of the pipeline is large in the running process. For a stainless steel pipe with the length of 1m, the expansion and contraction amount of the stainless steel pipe is usually 0.35-0.38 mm in the running process of a train. Every steel pipe length sets up to 6m in the train, and the expend with heat and contract with cold flexible volume between the whole car steel pipe just can reach 5 ~ 8 millimeters.

Because the pipeline on the train does not have stress absorbing structure or can hold the space of deformation itself, the flexible volume of whole car 5 ~ 8 millimeters can only release on the loose joint that connects between the pipeline. The movable joint needs to bear the vibration of a train in the running process of the train and also needs to receive the stretching or the compression of the expansion with heat and the contraction with cold of a train pipeline, so that the movable joint is easy to deform or loosen, a medium in the pipeline is leaked, and the running of the train is influenced.

Therefore, a structure capable of absorbing the amount of deformation caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the train pipeline is needed.

The invention is connected between pipelines in a train and absorbs the deformation of the pipelines caused by thermal expansion and cold contraction. The invention comprises inner toothed pipe joints for connecting pipelines and telescopic connecting pieces arranged between the inner toothed pipe joints. The telescopic connecting piece responds to the influence of thermal expansion and cold contraction of the pipeline on the structural size of the pipeline, and the corresponding contraction is used for absorbing the expansion amount of the pipeline or corresponding stretching is used for ensuring the stable connection of the pipeline.

Fig. 1 shows an expansion loose joint according to the invention, which is arranged in a pipeline of a train, and an outer pipe joint 1 at the end of the pipeline of the train is connected by two inner pipe joints 2 and is communicated with a pipeline 11 of the train. It connects telescopic connection 3 between two interior screwed pipe joints 2, responds the influence of pipeline expend with heat and contract with cold to pipeline structure size by telescopic connection 3, corresponding promotion shrink when the pipeline is heated the expansion of telescopic connection 3 with the inflation volume of absorption pipeline, or pipeline meet corresponding tensile when cold shrink telescopic connection 3 and guarantee that the pipe connection is stable.

In a more specific implementation mode, the telescopic connecting piece is arranged in the middle of the expansion loose joint and is positioned between the internal tooth pipe joints; one end of the telescopic connecting piece is connected to the inner tooth pipe joint, and the other end of the telescopic connecting piece is connected to the other inner tooth pipe joint. The expansion joint may comprise the expansion joint shown in fig. 3:

an inner pipe joint 2 which is arranged at the end part of the expansion loose joint and is connected with an outer pipe joint 1 arranged at the end part of a train pipeline in a mode shown in figure 2, wherein the inner pipe joint can be provided with threads for connecting the pipeline, and the threads are arranged inside the inner pipe joint pipeline; the inner dental pipe joints are connected with each other:

a connection transition joint 4, which is connected with the inner dental pipe joint 2 in a sealing way and has an inner periphery and an outer periphery; in one implementation, referring to the partial cross-sectional view of the expanded loose joint end in fig. 1, the inner circumference of the connecting transition joint 4 is closer to the internal thread joint 2, the outer circumference of the connecting transition joint 4 is longer than the inner circumference, and the inner circumference and the outer circumference are welded as a whole with the internal thread joint 2 at a position close to the end of the internal thread joint internal connection pipe 21 of the internal thread joint 2 in fig. 2; the other end of the internal thread pipe joint is an external connector 22 of the internal thread pipe joint; a gap is reserved between the inner ring and the outer ring of the connecting transition joint 4, and the side wall of the telescopic connecting piece 3 can be accommodated;

the end parts of the telescopic connecting pieces 3 are respectively connected with the inner peripheries of the connecting transition joints 4 in a sealing way, and pipelines for medium circulation are formed by the communication among the telescopic connecting pieces 3, the inner peripheries of the connecting transition joints 4, the inner dental tube joint inner connecting tubes 21 and the pipelines 11; the telescopic connecting piece 3 can be correspondingly contracted to absorb the expansion amount of the pipeline or correspondingly stretched to ensure the stable connection of the pipeline in the process that the pipeline 11 is heated to expand or is cooled to contract;

and the end part of the sheath 5 is fixedly connected with the periphery of each connecting transition joint 4 respectively and surrounds the telescopic connecting piece 3, so that the telescopic connecting piece 3 is protected from collision or impact of external foreign matters.

In some implementations, in the above expansion joint, the telescopic connection member 3 may be a corrugated pipe made of stainless steel or other metal materials. The pipeline pressure-bearing device can be arranged into a single layer or double layers or even multiple layers according to the pipeline pressure-bearing requirement so as to bear the pressure of 40kpa in the pipeline or correspond to the pipe pressure of at least 60 kilograms. The end part of the pipe wall of the stainless steel corrugated pipe can be welded on the inner periphery of the connecting transition joint 4 in a high-frequency oscillation welding mode and is communicated with the inner wall of the inner screwed pipe connector 2, so that the outer screwed pipe connector 1 connected with the inner screwed pipe connector is communicated to a pipeline 11 of a train.

Referring to fig. 2, a gasket 62 may further abut between the inner pipe joint and the outer pipe joint to seal a connection port of the inner pipe joint and the outer pipe joint, and the periphery of the gasket may be screwed and fixed by a thread 61 inside the bolt 6 and communicated to a pipeline.

In a more preferred implementation manner, in the expansion joint, the sheath 5 may be a metal braided sheath made of 304 stainless steel or the like, and an end of the metal braided sheath is welded to an outer periphery of the connecting transition joint 4. Specifically, the outer wall of the end of the metal braided sleeve is welded to the inner wall of the periphery of the connecting transition joint 4, and the connecting transition joint 4 integrally seals the ports of the sheath 5 and the telescopic connector 3, so that the ports are protected from being peeled off or disconnected by external force. Therefore, the metal braided sleeve and the periphery of the connecting transition joint 4 surround the outer side of the telescopic connecting piece 3, so that the telescopic connecting pieces 3 such as the corrugated pipe and the like are protected, the direct contact with external corrosive gas or liquid is avoided, and the influence of the perforation of the pipe wall on the sealing of the medium in the pipeline is avoided.

For guaranteeing the protection effect to pipeline and bellows structure, the metal is woven the cover and is woven by stainless steel's wire and form, and the mode of weaving makes the surface of metal is woven the cover has the hole, and the wire near the hole can relative movement, provides certain flexible deformation volume. Therefore, in the running process of the train, the metal woven sleeve can be synchronously stretched or contracted by the pipeline or the pipe joint along with the telescopic connecting piece 3, the telescopic stress of the pipeline connected with the inner screwed pipe joint 2 is absorbed, the stress is prevented from directly acting on the pipe joints such as the inner screwed pipe joint or the outer screwed pipe joint, and the gasket and the thread structure in the pipe joints are pulled or compressed, so that the pipe joints are deformed and loosened.

Under other implementation modes, for further temporarily providing a sealing effect on a medium in the pipe when the corrugated pipe in the expansion loose joint is loosened and leaked, the rubber protective sleeve can be wrapped on the outer side of the metal braided sleeve, and the rubber protective sleeve is temporarily used as a pipeline for medium circulation, so that the forced stop of the train due to the failure of the pipeline is avoided. The rubber protective sleeve can further prevent external hard objects from striking the expansion loose joint structure, buffer frequent vibration in vehicle operation and eliminate fatigue of internal mechanical structures.

Therefore, the invention can provide the deformation amount for the expansion of the pipeline through the expansion connecting piece formed by the corrugated pipe, and solves the problem that the expansion size of the pipe joint in the pipeline is small and the pipe joint is easy to be pulled, deformed and loosened by the expansion of the pipeline. According to the expansion loose joint, the length of the corrugated pipe is set to be 15-20 cm correspondingly according to the deformation amount required by the length of the pipeline, so that sufficient expansion and contraction allowance is provided, the pipeline and the loose joint in the pipeline cannot stretch and deform, and the condition that the operation of a train is influenced by the leakage of a pipeline medium is effectively avoided.

It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these changes and modifications are within the scope of the present invention.
