11193337 · 2021-12-07 · ·

The connector body attaches to the bowl for a rotating head assembly. The connector body welded to the bowl secures the conductor pipe to the bowl. An inner aperture of the connector body accepts the bowl and the conductor pipe. Fasteners insert into the connector body to secure the conductor pipe within the connector body. An attachment shoulder that extends inward from the outer wall narrows the inner aperture. The bowl rests on top of the attachment shoulder. The bowl inserts vertically downward into an upper opening of the connector body to the attachment shoulder. The conductor pipe inserts into a lower opening of the connector body. The fasteners insert radially into the connector body to secure the conductor pipe within the connector body. The attachment shoulder limits movement of the bowl and the conductor pipe within the inner aperture of the connector body.

20220205570 · 2022-06-30 ·

Disclosed are a pipeline connecting device, a pipeline element coupling piece and a coupling method therefor. The pipeline element coupling unit comprises a plurality of coupling units, a gasket arranged at the coupling unit, and a fastening element. Each coupling unit comprises two engaging keys located at two coupling ends thereof, each engaging key has an engaging surface, and each engaging surface has a variable curvature radius. The fastening element is coupled to the coupling unit, wherein the pipeline element coupling piece is adapted to be pre-mount onto the two pipeline elements and be aligned with engaging keys and corresponding grooves of the pipeline elements. When the fastening element is operated to fasten together the coupling units, each engaging surface is deformed to change the curvature radius to substantially match the curvature radius of the groove circumference of the bottom of the groove of the pipeline element.
