TUBING JUNCTION ASSEMBLY
20230304615 · 2023-09-28 ·

A tubing junction assembly may include a body, and a collar coupled to the body. The body may include a head portion, a base portion, and an intermediate portion. At least a portion of an outer surface of the body at the intermediate portion may define a cross-sectional width that tapers from the head portion to the base portion. The collar may have an inner surface defining a passage. A tubing may be stretched over the outer surface of the body with a proximal end portion of the tubing stretched over at least a portion of the outer surface of the body at the intermediate portion. The inner surface of the collar may be sleeved over a portion of the outer surface of the tubing and coupled to the collar such that the proximal end portion of the tubing is sandwiched and compressed between the body and the collar.

Pipeline separation device for liquid-propellant rocket

A pipeline separation device for liquid-propellant rocket comprising a first flange pipeline, a second flange pipeline, a clamping unit, a push-and-pull unit and an actuation unit. The first flange pipeline and the second flange pipeline dock along a first direction, a docking end surface docking with each other is limited by the clamping unit, and end surfaces opposite to each other after docking of the first flange pipeline and the second flange pipeline are respectively used for connecting with different medium pipelines; the actuation unit is used for pushing the push-and-pull unit so that the clamping unit relieves limit on the docking end surface. Being provided with a clamping unit and an actuation unit, the pipeline separation device for liquid-propellant rocket is capable of quickly pushing the clamping unit out when the actuation unit works, thereby relieving the limit on the first flange pipeline and the second flange pipeline.
