Joint flange using thickness-increased and cutting-processed pipe and method for manufacturing same
11697145 · 2023-07-11 ·

A method of manufacturing a joint flange using a thickness-increased, machined pipe is provided. The method includes a pipe cutting operation in which a pipe is cut to a predetermined length, a flange forming operation in which a flange having a mounting hole for installing the pipe is formed by die casting, a bump-forming operation in which a thickness-increased part, which is formed by increasing a thickness of one end of the pipe, is bumped to form a first bead locked to the flange, a machining operation in which a circumference of the thickness-increased part is machined to form a sealing groove having an O-ring installed, and a fixing operation in which the pipe is inserted in the mounting hole of the flange and the other end of the pipe is pressed to form a second bead so that the pipe is pressed to a lower end of the flange.

CRIMPING PLIERS
20220388139 · 2022-12-08 ·

Crimping pliers include a clamping assembly including a left jaw and a right jaw, a control mechanism, and a rotating button mechanism. The left jaw includes a left connecting portion and a left head. The right jaw includes a right connecting portion and a right head. The control mechanism drives the clamping assembly to switch between a clamping state and an open state. The rotating button mechanism includes a first connecting plate connected to the right connecting portion, an eccentric shaft, a rotating button connected to the eccentric shaft, and a limiting structure connected to the rotating button to limit a rotating range of the rotating button. The first connecting plate is rotatably connected to the left connecting portion through the eccentric shaft. The rotating button adjusts a distance between the left connecting portion and the right connecting portion by driving the eccentric shaft to eccentrically rotate.

Structure formed by temperature difference, method of forming the structure, and lightweight rigid assembly comprising the structure

A structure formed by temperature difference includes an enveloped part, an enveloping part, and a low heat transfer layer. The enveloped part has a free section and an engagement section. The enveloping part defines at least one holding space corresponding to the engagement section. The holding space is dimensioned to be slightly less than the engagement section and can be thermally expanded to be larger than the engagement section by heating the enveloping part to reach a predetermined temperature difference over the enveloped part, so that the engagement section can be put into the holding space. When the enveloping part is cooled, the holding space can shrink, causing the enveloping part to tightly hold the engagement section. The low heat transfer layer, which has a thermal conductivity less than each of the two parts, is disposed in the holding space, between the engagement section and the enveloping part.

Press device
