Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a clamp assembly for connecting two clamping frames which are axially offset from each other and then divided into two arc-shaped clamping assemblies, and an exhaust pipe connecting structure using the clamp assembly. The clamp assembly is particularly easy to assemble and disassemble, So that the airtightness between the two flanges can be sufficiently secured.
A conventional example of a clamp used for connecting flanges of two pipe axes in the axial direction by inserting two clamping frames divided into a substantially semicircular circular arc around a flanged portion and fastening them by means of bolts or the like is a patent Are well known including documents 1 to 5.
The clamps described in Patent Literatures 1 to 5 are formed by forming grooves whose width is narrowed radially outward at the inner diameter portion of two divided clamping frames and inclined surfaces corresponding to the grooves of the clamps are formed on the outer periphery of the two flanges, When the two clamping frames are fitted to the outer periphery of the two opposing flanges in the radial direction and then are fastened with fasteners, the grooves of the clamping frame are pressed in the direction in which the both flanges are brought close to each other to fix the two flanges tightly.
However, the clamps described in Patent Documents 1 to 5 are of a type in which two opposing clamping frames are hinged to each other at opposite ends thereof and the opposite ends are fastened with fasteners (Patent Documents 2, 3 and 4) The end portion is formed by engaging the latches and fixing the opposite end portions by fastening the fasteners (Patent Literatures 1 and 5), and it is difficult to give a uniform fastening force over the entire circumference of the flange, so that the possibility of leakage is high.
Further, since it is difficult to sufficiently tighten the clamping force in the radial direction, it is difficult to ensure sufficient airtightness because there is little force to close the two flanges. Therefore, sealing means such as a gasket or the like is additionally used between two flanges.
Further, since the hinge portion, the latch portion and the fastening portion are structured to be easily shaken in the axial direction, the two clamping frames are distorted or shifted after the fastening or fastening, so that it is difficult to provide a uniform fastening force over the entire surface of the flange, .
Since the clamp disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5 suffers from the above problems, Applicants et al. Used a clamp in which both opposite ends of two clamping frames are fastened with bolts and pressed.
However, in the process of alternately tightening both bolts, the clamping frame tilts to one side, or the bolt is crooked into the clamping frame causing the thread to wear, or it may be shaken (climbed) by a large force that axially pushes the clamping frame, And the strength is weak against a large shear force acting in the direction perpendicular to the axis.
Particularly, Patent Literatures 1 to 5 are insufficient for connecting large-diameter flanges, and the above-described problem of fastening both sides of a clamp frame with bolts has the above problems. For example, in the cylinder head of a large- It is difficult to apply to the part where the vibration of the engine is applied because the size of the connecting portion is large and requires a large fastening force.
Therefore, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a conventional engine exhaust pipe employs a configuration in which a plurality of bolts are fastened in the axial direction with the flange and the flange facing each other.
1 and 2, the
The
This connection structure is accompanied by an inconvenient operation in which a plurality of
In addition, the bolt must be fastened in the axial direction every time it is assembled and repaired. Since a cooling water pipe (not shown) or various fluid pipes pass through the
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a clamping device for clamping and fixing both bolts to both sides of two clamping frames divided into arc- It is easy and simple to secure a large clamping force, and after coupling with the two clamping frames, it is possible to precisely guide the clamping and prevent shaking or skewing so that the clamping clamp can be closely contacted with a uniform clamping force, So that the shear strength in the lateral direction can be reinforced.
Another object of the present invention is to provide By connecting the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head by using the clamp assembly as described above, it is possible to reduce the number of work steps for assembling and repairing the exhaust manifold, simplify the work, reduce the work space restriction, And to provide an exhaust pipe connecting structure that ensures excellent airtightness even when the surfaces are brought into close contact with each other.
In order to achieve the above object, a clamp assembly according to the present invention is a clamp assembly for axially returning end faces of two flanges formed with an inclined surface to an outer periphery thereof, and then clamping the outer periphery of the flange, Shaped first and second clamping frames (310, 320) having pressing slopes (311, 321) for pressurization; A

In the exhaust pipe connection structure according to the present invention, a plurality of bolts (150) pass through the first flange (100) in an axial direction and are screwed to a mounting surface around the outlet port of the exhaust port of the cylinder head (10); The
According to the clamp according to the present invention, since a large fastening force can be applied by the structure in which the both ends of the arc-shaped first and second flanges are coupled by the bolt member, it is particularly suitable for use in connection with the exhaust pipe of a marine engine .
Further, since the sleeve can precisely hold the engagement position of the first and second clamping frames and the engagement position of the bolt member by the sleeve, and the sleeve is continuously guided as the bolt member is fastened, Accordingly, the entire perimeter of the first and second flanges is pressed with a uniform force and uniformly adhered uniformly over the entire end surface of the first and second flanges, thereby providing excellent sealing performance.
In this way, uniform and large fastening force can be applied by the structure in which the both ends of the first and second clamping frames are coupled by the bolt member, in addition to the fact that they can be uniformly adhered uniformly over the entire end faces of the first and second flanges , It is possible to precisely connect the first and second flanges without interposing a sealing means such as a gasket or the like between the first flange and the second flange without concern about leakage.
Further, since the sleeve reinforces the shear strength acting in the direction perpendicular to the axis of the bolt member after the fastening is completed, sufficient rigidity can be maintained continuously even where continuous vibration is transmitted as in the engine exhaust pipe, and the first and second clamping frames It is possible to prevent shaking or skewing of the thermoplastic elastomer and thereby maintain excellent sealing conditions for a longer period of time.
When the exhaust pipe is connected to the cylinder head using such a clamp assembly, the first flange is mounted on the mounting surface of the cylinder head before tightening the clamp. Therefore, the exhaust manifold, the main exhaust pipe, It is possible to perform the mounting work without installing the line or the like, so that there is no space restriction on the fastening operation and there is no particular inconvenience.
Further, since the separation operation of the first flange is also performed after the release of the clamp and the removal of the exhaust manifold and the main exhaust pipe in advance, this operation can also be carried out with special difficulty without being restricted by the space or by the surrounding facilities.
Further, in the clamping of the clamp, since the bolt member is fastened not in the axial direction of the exhaust manifold (in the horizontal direction) but in the radial direction (in the vertical direction), the bolt member is fastened to the peripheral structures such as the exhaust manifold and the main exhaust pipe It can be easily assembled and disassembled without being disturbed.
