[0097] Specifically, the two pipe fittings are connected end-to-end into the pipe clamp 100, and the ends of the pipe fittings are positioned through the positioning protrusions. The positioning protrusions are integrally formed with the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12, and the structure is firm, which is different from the flexible positioning of the tongue portion of the sealing member, the positioning is more firm. The positioning protrusions arranged on the first coupling section 11 are symmetrically distributed with the positioning protrusions arranged on the second coupling section 12. The number of positioning protrusions can be multiple, and the size is set according to actual requirements. The positioning protrusions on the first coupling section 11 and the positioning protrusions on the second coupling section 12 are symmetrically distributed to ensure the reliability of positioning.

The first positioning protrusion 101 and the first coupling section 11 are integrally cast, and the second positioning protrusion 102 and the second coupling section 12 are integrally cast to ensure the stability of the first positioning protrusion 101 and the second positioning protrusion 102.
[0100] The first positioning protrusion 101 is arranged at the geometric center of the inner wall of the first coupling section 11; The second positioning protrusion 102 is arranged at the geometric center of the inner wall of the second coupling section 12. The inner walls of the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12 are both arc-shaped; the first positioning protrusion 101 and the second positioning protrusion 102 are both arc-shaped.
[0101] As a preferred embodiment, the arc length of the first positioning protrusion 101 is ⅓ to ⅔ of the arc length of the inner wall of the first coupling section 11, and the arc length of the second positioning protrusion 102 is ⅓ to ⅔ of the arc length of the inner wall of the second coupling section 12; materials are saved and the production costs are reduced while ensuring the positioning reliability.
[0102] Further, the height of the first positioning protrusion 101 in the radial direction is 2 mm to 10 mm. The height of the second positioning protrusion 102 in the radial direction is 2 mm to 10 mm.

[0107] One side of the outer surface of the first coupling section 11 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 113 connected with the first separated pin 109; the other side of the outer surface of the first coupling section 11 is provided with a second reinforcing rib 114 connected with the second separated pin. The first reinforcing rib 113 and the first separated pin 109 are integrally formed; the second reinforcing rib 114 is integrally formed with the second separated pin 110. A third reinforcing rib 115 and a fourth reinforcing rib 116 are respectively arranged on both sides of the outer surface of the second coupling section 12. The design of the reinforcing ribs on the first coupling section and the second coupling section can transmit the stress when the pipe clamp is locked to the other separated pin connectors and the other separated column connectors, reducing the stress concentration of the pipe clamp, and saving more materials and giving more effective play to its performance compared with the way of strengthening the strength by increasing the thickness.
[0108] Referring to
[0109] When the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12 are bridged on the end-to-end pipe fittings, the inner part of the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12 is formed in a nearly circular structure integrated closely with the pipe fittings fit. Since the contact part of the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12 in contact with the pipe fittings are both semi elliptical-shaped, the enclosed shape is an ellipse, which make the fastening force at the time of connecting the two ends of the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12 generate a centripetal deformation force through the lever torque produced by the cooperation of the longer radius and the shorter radius of the ellipse, so as to hold the pipe fittings tightly and make the inner walls of the first coupling section 11 and the second coupling section 12 fit the pipe fittings better.
