Detailed Description
In order that those skilled in the art will better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
Examples
The technical problem solved by the embodiment is that the polycrystalline alumina fiber tube is widely applied to high-temperature industrial equipment, such as a high-temperature furnace kiln, a heat exchanger and the like, and is mainly used for transmitting high-temperature gas, high-temperature molten metal and other mediums because of the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and the like. Because the connection structure of the fiber pipe needs to be kept sealed for a long time in a high-temperature, high-vibration or thermal expansion environment to prevent medium leakage, the stability of the connection structure is extremely high, and because the fiber pipe is made of certain brittle materials and is easy to break when stress is concentrated, a connecting piece is needed to complete connection of the pipeline, the sealing performance, the reliability and the structural suitability of the connecting piece are considered, and the single sealing structure of the traditional connecting piece can lead to part aging and shortened service life due to the attenuation of the high-temperature elastic connection structure.
In order to solve the above technical problems, as shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a sealing connector for a polycrystalline alumina fiber pipe, which includes a male connector 10 and a female connector 20 that are cooperatively connected with each other, wherein the male connector 10 is connected with an end of a fiber pipe a14, and the female connector 20 is connected with an end of a fiber pipe B24;
The male connector 10 is of a stepped shaft structure, and the male connector 10 comprises an external thread section 11, a limiting boss 12 and a fiber pipe connecting section 13;
The female connector 20 is of a stepped cylinder structure, and the female connector 20 comprises a sealing table 21, an internal thread section 22 and a fiber pipe sleeve connecting section 23;
The outer side of the external thread section 11 of the male connector 10 is provided with external threads 111, the inner side of the internal thread section 22 of the female connector 20 is provided with internal threads 221 matched with the external threads 111, the male connector 10 and the female connector 20 are connected in a screwing way through the external threads 111 and the internal threads 221, and the limit boss 12 is ensured to be embedded into the seal groove 211 of the seal table 21;
A double-layer sealing structure is arranged between the limiting boss 12 and the sealing groove 211, and comprises an inner-layer flexible sealing ring 40 and an outer-layer elastic buffer ring 30.
Specifically, the fiber pipe connecting section 13 of the male connector 10 is in interference fit connection with the outer wall or the inner wall of the fiber pipe a14, and the fiber pipe sleeve connecting section 23 of the female connector 20 is in interference fit connection with the outer wall or the inner wall of the fiber pipe B24.
Specifically, the limiting boss 12 of the male connector 10 is an annular boss, the limiting boss 12 is located between the external thread section 11 and the fiber pipe connecting section 13, and the outer diameter of the limiting boss 12 is larger than that of the external thread section 11.

Specifically, the double-layer sealing structure includes an inner flexible sealing ring 40 and an outer elastic buffer ring 30.
The inner flexible seal ring 40 is a high temperature resistant fibrous felt body that fills in the radial gap between the limit boss 12 and the seal groove 211. The thickness of the high-temperature-resistant felt pad body is 0.5-2mm. Specifically, high-temperature-resistant and corrosion-resistant polycrystalline alumina fibers can be selected, the high-temperature-resistant parameters are more than 1600 ℃, the fibers are interwoven to form a porous structure, and the porosity is more than 60%. The flexible material of the polycrystalline alumina fiber can be attached to the minor processing defects of the limit boss 12 and the seal groove 211, such as surface roughness and radial error to block leakage channels of gas and liquid, and when the thermal expansion of the part is uneven at high temperature, the elasticity of the fiber blanket can absorb part of deformation stress, so that structural damage caused by collision of a rigid structure is avoided.
The outer layer elastic buffer ring is made of stainless steel or other alloy materials, has high temperature resistance of at least 800 ℃, and has high elastic modulus and fatigue resistance. The outer elastic buffer ring 30 is a wave-shaped metal ring, the wave crest 31 of the wave-shaped metal ring is contacted with the inner wall of the sealing groove 211, and the wave trough 32 is contacted with the outer wall of the limiting boss 12.
Specifically, the wave-shaped section can select the height of the wave crest 31 to be 0.5-1 mm and the wave distance to be 2-3 mm, and the wave crest 31 and the wave trough 32 provide pretightening force through elastic deformation to compensate axial/radial displacement of the part caused by vibration or thermal expansion and contraction.
An annular limiting table is arranged at the tail end of the internal thread section 22 of the female joint 20, and the inner diameter of the annular limiting table is smaller than that of the sealing table 21 so as to limit the axial compression amount of the wavy metal ring. The left side of the outer layer contacts the annular limiting table of the female connector 20 to limit the excessive compression of the annular limiting table and avoid elastic failure.
As shown in fig. 2, the double-layer sealing structure may be configured such that the wavy metal ring and the inner flexible sealing ring 40 are integrated, and the crests 31 and the troughs 32 of the wavy metal ring slightly protrude from the surface of the inner flexible sealing ring 40 in the non-pressure state. The integral double-layer sealing structure has stronger integral stability under the action of pressure.

The male connector 10 and the female connector 20 of the sealing connector are additionally provided with the matching structure of the sealing groove 211 and the limiting boss 12, so that the tightness and stability of connection are further enhanced, in particular, a double-layer sealing structure is further filled in a gap between the sealing groove 211 and the limiting boss 12, a microscopic gap between the limiting boss 12 and the sealing groove 211 is limited by the matching of the inner flexible sealing ring 40 and the outer elastic buffer ring 30, a leakage channel is blocked, and the outer elastic buffer ring 30 elastically deforms through the wave crest 31 and the wave trough 32 to compensate gap change caused by thermal expansion or vibration, so that long-term pretightening force is maintained, and double-insurance sealing is formed. The inner layer felt pad body is high-temperature resistant, the outer layer metal ring is fatigue resistant, and the sealing element can adapt to high temperature of 1000-1600 ℃ and periodic expansion and contraction, and the service life of the sealing element is prolonged. The male and female connectors 20 adopt a stepped shaft/barrel structure, and connect the fiber tubes through interference fit, so that the connection strength is ensured, the stress is dispersed, and the fiber tubes are prevented from being broken due to overlarge local stress.
