Detailed Description

The present invention is further described in the following description with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings, wherein the details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but it is apparent that the present invention can be embodied in many other forms different from those described herein, and it will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The utility model provides a pipe fitting support and be used for thermal deformation compensation arrangement of pipe fitting support, can effectively solve when current pipeline clamp subassembly is fixed because of unable compensation pipeline because of the problem of the deformation that temperature variation arouses. As shown in fig. 1, the thermal deformation compensating means includes a sleeve 2, the sleeve 2 having a first end 21 and a second end 22, the first end 21 having a stepped edge on an upper surface thereof to prevent the piston rod 3 from sliding out of the sleeve when sliding; the second end 22 is provided with a small air gap communicating with the outside of the sleeve 2 and the third connection portion 7. The thermal deformation compensation device further comprises a piston rod 3, the piston rod 3 comprises a large-diameter inner end 32 and a small-diameter outer end 31, the outer end 31 is of a pull rod structure and extends out from the first end 21 of the sleeve 2 to the outside of the sleeve 2, and the end part of the outer end is provided with an annular connecting structure which is used for being hinged with a seventh connecting part 307 of the third connecting piece 30; the inner end 32 is cylindrical in shape and is located inside the sleeve 2, two sealing grooves are formed in the surface of the inner end for placing the sealing ring 9, the sealing ring 9 is matched with a sealing surface provided by the inner wall of the sleeve 2, a sealing and slidable fit between the piston rod 3 and the sleeve 2 is formed, and meanwhile, the rotation of the piston rod 3 in the sleeve 2 is not influenced.

An air chamber 10 is formed between the inner end 32 of the piston rod 3 and the second end 22 of the sleeve 2, and air in the air chamber 10 expands or contracts by heating and forms a pressure difference with air pressure outside the sleeve 2, and the piston rod 3 is pushed outwards or inwards by the pressure difference. The small air gap in the second end 22 allows the air in the air chamber to expand when heated or contract when cooled to form a pressure difference with the air pressure outside the sleeve, and at the same time, the enclosed air in the air chamber 10 can slowly flow and exchange with the outside air, and finally, the conditions of balance of the air inside and outside the sleeve, free deformation of the pipeline and no stress are achieved as time goes on. In fig. 1, the second end 22 of the sleeve 2 has an internal thread, and the third connecting portion 7 is a T-shaped external thread member whose external thread is connected with the internal thread of the second end 22, but here the thread fitting does not have a gas sealing function, and a slight gap may be formed at the thread fitting. The external thread member and the second end 22 can be bonded through glue for preventing the thread from loosening.

The structure of the pipe bracket will be explained below with reference to fig. 2 and 3. The pipe support is composed of a third connecting piece 30, a second connecting piece 20, a piston rod 3 and a sleeve 2, and a four-bar structure is formed. The second connector 20 includes fourth and fifth connection portions 204 and 205, and the third connector 30 includes sixth and seventh connection portions 306 and 307. The fourth connection portion 204 is hinged to the third connection portion 7 in the second end 22 of the sleeve 2, i.e. to the protrusion of the "T" -shaped external screw thread member shown in fig. 1, the fifth connection portion 205 is hinged to the sixth connection portion 306, and the seventh connection portion 307 is hinged to the outer end 31 of the piston rod 3, whereby the piston rod 3, the sleeve 2, the second coupling member 20 and the third coupling member 30 form a four-bar linkage. The four-bar linkage mechanism can move by means of the extension and contraction of the piston rod 3 in the sleeve 2, the extension and contraction direction of the piston rod 3 is the same as the thermal deformation direction of the pipe fitting, and meanwhile, the hinge connection of each part can allow each part of the support to rotate in a certain range, so that the compensation of a deformed pipeline is facilitated.

As shown in fig. 3, the piston rod 3, the sleeve 2, the second connector 20 and the third connector 30 are arranged in a triangular shape, wherein the second connector 20 is configured as a fixing portion to be connected with the engine case to fix the pipe bracket, and the third connector 30 is configured as a pipe connecting portion to be connected with the pipe connector. The triangular arrangement can provide a relatively stable connection mode for the pipe support, and the pipe support is ensured to move only along the motion direction of the piston rod 3. In fig. 2 and 3, the pipe coupling is configured as a pipe clamp 5 for fixing the pipe 6, and the pipe clamp 5 is hinged to the third coupling 30 to allow a certain range of relative movement between the pipe 6 and the third coupling 30, thereby increasing the deformation compensation of the pipe support to the pipeline.

For weight reduction, the remaining portions of the pipe support are made of non-metallic materials, such as the third connecting member 30, the second connecting member 20, etc., except for the connecting fasteners, such as the hinged connecting portions, which are made of metallic materials. One preferred embodiment is polyimide, which can resist high temperature of more than 400 ℃, has a long-term use temperature range of-200 to 300 ℃, and is suitable for the high-temperature environment of the outer surface of the engine case. Meanwhile, the material has excellent mechanical properties, the bending strength (20 ℃) is more than or equal to 170MPa, the tensile strength is more than or equal to 100MPa, the elastic modulus can reach hundreds of GPa, and the density is 1.38-1.43 g/cm³Has good effectExcellent dielectric property, organic solvent resistance, no toxicity and the like.

It should be noted that due to the characteristics of the composite material, the pipe bracket is not suitable for the parts which bear excessive vibration and high temperature, and the extending or contracting direction of the piston rod 3 must be set to be consistent with the thermal deformation direction of the pipe 6 to realize the thermal compensation of the pipeline.

The pipe bracket and the thermal deformation compensation device for the pipe bracket shown in fig. 1 to 3 have the following specific installation steps:

(1) after the piston rod 3 is provided with the sealing ring 9, the piston rod is placed into the sleeve 2, the placing depth is determined according to specific use environment, generally about half of the depth of the sleeve 2, then the third connecting part 7 is a T-shaped external thread part as shown in figure 1, the external thread of the T-shaped external thread part is connected with the internal thread at the second end 22 of the sleeve 2 in a matching way, a small amount of glue can be added at the threaded connection part to prevent looseness of the thread, and the piston rod 3 can be moved and rotated along the axis in the sleeve 2. Note that the extension or contraction direction of the piston rod 3 in the sleeve 2 needs to be set to coincide with the thermal deformation direction of the pipe.

(3) The second connecting piece 20 is hinged with the third connecting piece 30 through a sixth connecting part 306 and a fifth connecting part 205; the second connecting element 20 is hinged to the third connecting portion 7 in the second end 22 of the sleeve 2, i.e. to the protrusion of the "T" -shaped male element as shown; the third connecting member 30 is hinged to the piston rod 3 via a seventh connecting portion 307 and an outer end 31 of the piston rod 3. Thereby, the piston rod 3, the sleeve 2, the second connecting piece 20 and the third connecting piece 30 form a four-bar linkage mechanism, the hinge joint can rotate, and the assembly of the bracket assembly is completed.

(4) The second connector 20 is used as a fixing part and can be fixed with the engine casing through fixing holes and the like on the engine. The third connector 30 is hinged to the pipe connector, which is shown in fig. 1-3 as a clip 5, which clip 5 is then connected to a particular pipe 6.

When the pipe fitting 6 deforms due to the rise of the ambient temperature, the piston rod 3 in the thermal deformation compensation device bears two forces, namely a pulling force applied by the pipe fitting 6 and a force of air in the air chamber 10 in the sleeve 2. In the initial heating stage, the pipe fitting 6 is a tensile force for extending the piston rod 3, the air in the air chamber 10 is a pushing force for extending the piston rod 3 due to thermal expansion, the piston rod 3 extends under the two forces and moves along the direction A in the figure 3, and therefore the thermal deformation of the pipe fitting support is also along the direction A, and the thermal deformation stress on the pipeline can be reduced. With the increase of time, the pulling force of the pipe fitting 6 on the piston rod 3 is gradually reduced, and simultaneously, as the air in the air chamber 10 slowly flows and exchanges with the external air through a tiny air gap, namely, a threaded connection part, finally, a stable equilibrium state is achieved with the outside. When the pipe fitting 6 is deformed due to the reduction of the ambient temperature, the pipe fitting 6 generates thrust opposite to the direction A to the piston rod 3, at the moment, air in the air chamber 10 is gradually exhausted to the outside through a tiny air gap, the volume of the air chamber 10 is reduced, and the movement of the pipe fitting 6 due to the reduction of the ambient temperature is compensated. Therefore, the pipe support and the thermal deformation compensation device for the pipe support can effectively compensate the thermal deformation of the pipe 6 caused by heating or cooling, and avoid the faults of cracks, breakage and the like of the pipe 6 caused by thermal stress, thereby prolonging the service life of the pipeline and increasing the reliability of the pipeline.

Although the present invention has been disclosed in terms of the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the invention, and variations and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, any modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention are within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present invention, unless the technical essence of the present invention departs from the content of the present invention.
