Embodiment 1

[0074] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, this embodiment provides a compression teeth ring connection pipe fitting connecting between two steel pipe bodies 10. The compression teeth ring connection pipe fitting includes a pipe body 100 and a sealing component. The pipe fitting body 100 includes a middle pipe section 110, a first flared section 120 and a second flared section 130, the first flared section 120 and the second flared section 130 are extended along an axis of the pipe fitting body 100 at both ends thereof. A diameter of the first flared section 120 is greater than a diameter of the middle pipe section 110, and a first limit platform 140 is formed at a connection position between the two. The first limit platform 140 is configured to limit an installed steel pipe body 10 in an axial direction. A diameter of the second flared section 130 is greater than the diameter of the first flared section 120, and a second limit platform 150 is formed at a connection position between the two. The sealing component includes a sealing ring 200, a high temperature sealing ring 300, and a teeth ring 400 that are coaxial and sequentially arranged; inner rings of the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400 form a space for nesting the steel pipe body 10. The second limit platform 150 is configured to limit the sealing ring 200 in an axial direction.

[0075] During s specific connection, the steel pipe body 10 is inserted into the pipe fitting body 100, and an insertion end of the steel pipe body 10 abuts against the first limit platform 140. The first limit platform 140 limits the steel pipe body 10 in an axial direction to prevent the steel pipe body 10 from shifting along the axial direction. At the same time, the steel pipe body 10 can be nested in the space formed by the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400. The second limit platform 150 can limit the sealing ring 200 in an axial direction, which can prevent the sealing ring 200 from shifting along the axial direction. After the aforementioned installation is completed, the second flared section 130 can be tightened with a help of a crimping tool, the second flared section 130 is forced to contract inwardly, so that inner rings of the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400 are tightly adhered to an outer circumference of the steel pipe body 10. By setting the sealing ring 200, a connection sealing between the steel pipe body 10 and the pipe fitting body 100 can be improved; due to a melting of the sealing ring 200 in a high temperature environment and losing the sealing effect, the high temperature sealing ring 300 is provided on an outer side of the sealing ring 200. The high temperature sealing ring 300 can replace the sealing ring 200 in its sealing function after it loses its sealing effect. In a general design, the high temperature sealing ring 300 meets a certain leakage standard, and a small amount of gas can leak out from this, allowing the high temperature and high pressure inside the pipeline to be released, thereby playing a role in pressure resistance, and avoiding pipeline explosion accidents; at the same time, the setting of the teeth ring 400 can ensure a reliable and stable connection between the steel pipe body 10 and the pipe fitting body 100, and thereby playing a certain tensile and torsional role.

[0076] It can be seen that the compression teeth ring connection pipe fitting not only has good connection sealing performance, but also can be suitable for high temperature environments. In high temperature environments, it also has good connection sealing performance and plays a role in preventing leakage. In addition, during a specific installation process, the steel pipe body 10 is inserted into the pipe fitting body 100, and the insertion end of the steel pipe body 10 abuts against to the first limit platform 140. The first limit platform 140 can limit the steel pipe body 10 in the axial direction. At the same time, the steel pipe body 10 is sleeved in the space formed by the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400, which renders an entire installation process relatively simple and easy to operate.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, in combination with FIGS. 2 and 5, the second flared section 130 is inwardly formed with a first annular boss 131 in a radial direction; the second flared section 130 has a maximum wall thickness at the first annular boss 131, and a sealing ring limit groove 160 is formed between the first annular boss 131 and the first limit platform 140 to accommodate the sealing ring 200; an inner diameter of the first annular boss 131 is slightly larger than an outer diameter of the high temperature sealing ring 300.

[0078] During an installation process, it is necessary to first install the sealing ring 200 at the sealing ring limit groove 160 of the sealing ring, then install the high temperature sealing ring 300 at the first ring boss 131, and finally install the teeth ring 400. By setting the sealing ring limit groove 160, it is convenient for the sealing ring 200 to be installed in place in a timely manner, and at the same time, it can prevent its position deviation after the installation is in place; by setting the first annular boss 131, it is convenient for the high temperature sealing ring 300 to be installed in place in a timely manner; the aforementioned structure is suitable for a thick-walled pipe fitting, and it also has good pressure and impact resistance performances when adopting a design of thick-walled pipe fitting.

[0079] Furthermore, further combining FIGS. 2 and 5, a second annular boss 132 is formed inwardly at an edge of a socket of the second flared section 130 in the radial direction; a teeth ring limit groove 170 is formed between the first annular boss 131 and the second annular boss 132 to accommodate the teeth ring 400. This arrangement facilitates a timely installation of the teeth ring 400 and prevents its position deviation after installation.

[0080] During the specific installation process, the sealing ring 200, high temperature sealing ring 300, and teeth ring 400 are installed in sequence as shown in FIG. 5, and then the steel pipe body 10 is inserted into the pipe fitting body 100 as shown in FIG. 6, and the insertion end of the pipe fitting body 100 abuts against the first limit platform 140.

[0081] Based on FIGS. 7 and 8, after all of the above are installed in place, the second flared section 130 is pressed inwardly using a crimping tool, which causes the second flared section 130 to collapse, thereby squeezing the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400, which renders them tightly adhere between the steel pipe body 10 and the second flared section 130 to ensure sealing and stability. The compression teeth ring connection pipe fitting in this embodiment uses a crimping tool to crimp and deform the pipe fitting body 100, thereby instantly completing the connection between the pipe fitting body 100 and the steel pipe body 10. The crimping tool crimps the second flared section 130 of the pipe fitting, and the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400 are installed on an inner side of the second flared section 130. All three are compressed at the same time, the sealing ring 200 and high temperature sealing ring 300 inside the second flared section 130 are forced to tightly adhere to the steel pipe body 10; and thus, it has a sealing and sealing effect, and the teeth ring 400 shrinks and firmly fastens the steel pipe body 10, and thereby providing good connection, tensile and torsional resistance.

[0082] The thick-walled pipe fittings are made of carbon steel as the base material, which has a lower cost compared to stainless steel or copper pipe fitting. A surface of the pipe fitting can be processed with zinc plating and EP (Epoxy cover) anti-corrosion, and its service life is longer compared to ordinary galvanized materials.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 9, a processing method of the pipe fitting body 100 includes the following steps: [0084] S1, flaring one end of the pipe fitting body 100 using a flaring device to form a first flared section 120, and then flaring again using the flaring device on the first flared section 120 to form a second flared section 130; [0085] S2, processing a first annular boss and a second annular boss 132 in the second flared section 130.

[0086] In this embodiment, the high temperature sealing ring 300 can adopt the following structural forms. In a practical application, different structural forms or sizes of high temperature sealing ring 300 can be selected according to needs.

[0087] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, one side of the high temperature sealing ring 300 is recessed inwardly to form a groove.

[0088] Furthermore, an opening of the groove gradually increases from an inside to an outside.

[0089] For example, a cross-sectional shape of the groove is trapezoidal or triangular, and of course, it can also be other shapes, which will not be listed here.

[0090] In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 12, both ends of the high temperature sealing ring 300 are recessed inwardly to form a groove, and a cross-sectional shape of the grooves is trapezoidal.

[0091] Referring to FIG. 13, both sides of the high temperature sealing ring 300 are recessed inwardly to form two grooves, which are spaced radially along the high temperature sealing ring 300; for example, the cross-sectional shape of the groove is triangular.

[0092] Referring to FIG. 14, both end surfaces of the high temperature sealing ring 300 are planer surface and the high temperature sealing ring 300 has a same wall-thickness at each point.

[0093] In this embodiment, a material of the high temperature sealing ring 300 is not limited to stainless steel, copper, or graphite, but it can also be other high temperature resistant materials, which will not be listed here.

[0094] On the basis of the above embodiments, referring to FIGS. 15 to 23, the teeth ring 400 includes a teeth ring body 410 and an inner ring protruding from the teeth ring body 410; and the inner ring is a toothed shaped structure. The teeth ring body 410 is in an open ring structure; the toothed structure is configured to insert into the steel pipe body 10 when it is compressed with the steel pipe body 10 so as to form a tight and reliable connection structure between the two, thereby effectively preventing the steel pipe body 10 from detaching from the pipe fitting body 100.

[0095] It should be noted that as long as the toothed shaped structure can be inserted into the steel pipe body 10 during a mutual compression with the steel pipe body 10, all structural forms are within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0096] In a specific implementation, the teeth ring body 410 is in a C shaped structure and is made of a radially shrinkable metal material, so that when the teeth ring body 410 is compressed by a crimping tool on the second flared section 130 of the pipe fitting body 100, it can shrink inwardly and hold the steel pipe body 10.

[0097] In this embodiment, the teeth ring 400 can adopt the following structural form.

[0098] The toothed structure includes multiple teeth 420 spaced along an extension direction of the teeth ring body 410. The teeth 420 are extended from the inner ring of the teeth ring body 410 towards its own axis direction. Of course, the form of teeth 420 extending slightly from the inner ring of the teeth ring body 410 to its own axis direction is also within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0099] Referring to FIG. 15, the toothed structure is two rows, some teeth 420 are faced with each other and some teeth 420 are misaligned with each other.

[0100] Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17, the toothed structure is arranged in two rows, some teeth 420 of one row of the toothed structure are misaligned relative to the teeth 420 of the other row of the toothed structure. Where, the structure and setting position of the teeth 420 in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17 are slightly different.

[0101] Referring to FIGS. 18 and 19, the toothed structure is set in two rows, where the teeth 420 of one row of the toothed structure are offset by a certain distance from the teeth 420 of the other row of the toothed structure.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 20, the toothed structure is arranged in a row along the extension direction of the teeth ring body 410.

[0103] Referring to FIGS. 21 and 22, the toothed structure is arranged at an edge of both sides of the teeth ring body 410.

[0104] Referring to FIG. 23, the toothed structure is located at the edge of one side of the teeth ring body 410.

[0105] When the second flared section 130 is recessed inwardly through a crimping tool, it can cause the second flared section 130 to collapse, thereby squeezing the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400. While squeezing the teeth ring 400, the teeth ring 420 can be inserted into the steel pipe body 10, which forms a tighter and more reliable connection between the two, and plays a good tensile and torsional role.

Embodiment 2

[0106] Referring to FIGS. 24 and 25, this embodiment also provides a compression teeth ring connection pipe fitting. The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the first annular boss 131 is not provided, and an edge of the socket of the second flared section 130 gradually retracts inwardly to form a smooth transition of a shrinkage section 180. A diameter of the shrinkage section 180 is smaller than an outer diameter of the teeth ring 400. This structure is suitable for a thin-walled pipe fitting having a wall thickness between 1.5 mm and 3 mm compared to a thick-walled pipe fitting. Its connection performance is consistent with that of the thick-walled pipe fitting (connection performance is not limited to tensile, torsional, seismic, bending, etc.), and which reduced material costs. Due to the wall thickness ranging from 1.5 mm to 3 mm, it can be hydraulically formed in one go without the need for mechanical processing, and reduces process costs.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 26, the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400 are sequentially connected between the second limit platform 150 and the shrinkage section 180.

[0108] Referring to FIG. 27, a processing and assembly method for the compression teeth ring connection pipe fitting includes the following steps: [0109] flaring the two ends of the pipe fitting body 100 using a flared device to form the first flared section 120, and then flaring again using the flared device on the first flared section 120 to form the second flared section 130; [0110] connecting the sealing ring 200, the high temperature sealing ring 300, and the teeth ring 400 in sequence between the second limit platform 150 corresponding to the second flared section 130 and the shrinking section 180.

[0111] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure and not to limit it; although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technical personnel in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or equivalently replace some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the various embodiments of the present disclosure.
