Definitions
- the present invention relates to a coupling joint, arranged to join a first element having a substantially circular internal envelope surface to a second element, inserted into the first element, having a substantially circular envelope surface with a smaller diameter than the internal diameter of the first element.
- the object of the present invention is to disclose a coupling joint, which easily can be adjusted to actual diameter difference within a certain predetermined range, and which facilitates accomplishing of a joint which is resistant against vibrational and bending forces, and which also can be arranged having very good sealing properties.
- the joint is in particular suitable as a coupling joint between two tubular elements or hoses, but can also be used for applications when one of the elements have a substantially solid cross-section.
- the joint can be mounted quickly and simple, without use of special purpose tools.
- the coupling joint according to the present invention is arranged to join a first element having a substantially circular internal envelope surface with a second element, inserted into the first element, having a smaller external diameter than the internal diameter of the first element, and it is mainly characterized in that a helically wound and in longitudinal direction corrugated or creased stripshaped intermediate member is arranged in an intermediate position between the first and the second element, and that at least one of the elements by means of an expanding or clamping joint is pressed against the intermediate member causing same to be compressed or pressed against adjacent envelope surfaces of the elements.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective view, partly in cross-section, disclosing two tubular elements joined by means of a coupling joint according to the present invention
- Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the member located intermediately between the elements in the example of an embodiment shown in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a wall portion of the two elements shown in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of part of the intermediately located member shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 1 shows an example of an embodiment of a coupling joint according to the invention, arranged to join a first and external tubular element 1 with a second tubular element 2, inserted into the first element 1.
- the second element 2 has an external diameter which is considerably smaller than the internal diameter of the first element 1, said difference in diameter preventing establishment of a joint by use of a clamping joint, e.g. established by means of a conventional tube clamp.
- an intermediate member as a complete unit denominated 3, comprising a corrugated or creased stripshaped member having a number onto each other wound layers, almost comparable with a helically wound blade spring, which is also shown in Fig. 2.
- the intermediate member 3 is applied against the second element 2, and by applying a turning force against the outer portion of the intermediate member 3, directed against the winding direction, the adjacent turns are separated from each other, whereby application of same can be easily accomplished.
- Adjustment of the number of wound turns can alternatively be carried out either before or after mounting against said second element 2, in order to adjust the external diameter of the intermediate member 3 when mounted to the internal diameter of the first element 1.
- the second element 2 When inserting the second element 2 and onto same applied intermediate member 3 into the first element 1, the second element 2 is preferably rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow A in Fig. 1, whereby onto each other located wound turns of the intermediate member 3 take up a more adjacent position to each other facilitating insertion into the first element 1.
- the outer turn of the intermediate member 3 When such a rotary influence is terminated, the outer turn of the intermediate member 3 will be pressed against the internal envelope surface of the first element 1.
- a conventional tube clamp 4, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 3 is used to additionally press the first element 1 against the intermediate member 3. As shown in Fig. 3, such a compression will cause the wall of the first external element 1 to be plastically deformed into engagement with the outer wound turn.
- the intermediate member 3 Simultaneously can also the intermediate member 3 obviously be compressed, and thus expand to an increased width.
- This will result in that the outer free edge portions of the innermost wound turn somewhat engage with the external wall of the second element 2, and that said engagement results in a pile-up of material in front of said edge portions, as illustrated in Fig. 3.
- the intermediate member 3 is thus locked in an extremely good fashion against the embraced second element 2, and the aforementioned plastical deformation of the first element 1 also results in that said element 1 is locked in an efficient fashion in relation to the intermediate member 3.
- the corrugated shape of the intermediate member 3 results in that both vibrational influence as well as bending influence will be taken up by the joint in an extremely good fashion.
- the joint according to the present invention can be further modified.
- a layer of a sealing compound can be applied against the internal and external surfaces of the intermediate member 3, and for further improved sealing, such a compound may also be applied between adjacently located wound turns.
- the expression sealing compound also includes materials having sealing properties in another form than a compound, e.g. in the form of a tape.
- the terminating part of the strip forming the intermediate member 3 can also be arranged as a part cut in inclined direction to the centre axis, and in a similar fashion the first part of said strip can obviously be arranged with an edge portion cut in an inclined direction.
- the intermediate member 3 is as shown formed from a strip with substantially V-shaped and in relation to each other parallel corrugations or creases.
- Said corrugations can obviously be arranged having other cross-sectional configuration, e.g. U- shaped, and may also for certain applications include corrugations or creases extending substantially parallel but inclined in relation to the longitudinal direction of the strip, particularly for those cases when sealing properties are of minor interest.
- the second and inside element 2 may also comprise of a solid element.
- the first and external element 1 may also comprise of a non-deformable element, provided that one or a number of diametrically expandable means can be arranged inside the second element 2, and press the second element 2 against the intermediate member 3.
- the external edge portions of the intermediate member 3 are preferably arranged directed towards the first element 1, i.e. in an opposed directed relationship in relation to what is shown in Fig. 3.
- markings which indicate suitable points to make a cut in order to accomplish diameter changes of for example 0,5 or 1 mm.
- markings can also be arranged as fractural impressions, i.e. embossments or similar that reduce the thickness of the strip, in order to facilitate a further simplified adjustment to desired diameter.
- the described design facilitates that the established joint in an extremely good fashion can take up existing vibrations, breaking forces and similar, since the intermediate member 3 almost can be regarded as a longitudinally extending spring unit, well adapted to take up various forces, which is clearly shown in Fig. 3.
- the intermediate member is also preferably manufactured from metal, even though plastics and similar materials also can be used for certain applications.
- the coupling joint according to the present invention can further obviously be used to join elements of plastics, rubber, artificial rubber and other materials, in which cases the intermediate member 3 is manufactured from a material suitable for such fields of application.
- the intermediate member 3 is preferably arranged adapted to facilitate attachment to an embraced second element 2 having a diameter within a predetermined range, e.g. 25 - 28 mm, and with possibility for adjustment within a larger diameter range with regard to the external first element 1, e.g. 40 - 80 mm.
- a predetermined range e.g. 25 - 28 mm
- the external first element 1 e.g. 40 - 80 mm.
- fractural impressions or markings facilitate simple adjustment of the internal diameter
- same can also be adjusted in a simple fashion within a larger diameter range. Adjustment of the internal diameter is facilitated by "pulling" the internal part of the strip in a sidedirected relationship, and by cutting. Said part returns thereafter to its original position due to the resilient or elastic properties of the strip.
