The principle of floating connector is mainly based on the characteristics of its movable connecting parts, which can be divided into the following aspects:.
Telescopic characteristics: Floating joints can absorb pipe deformation caused by temperature and other factors, avoiding mechanical damage and leakage problems caused by pipe deformation. This feature also facilitates pipe handling during installation and removal. 1.
Rotation characteristics: The floating joint allows the pipeline to rotate freely within a certain range, avoiding directional deviation and mechanical damage caused by the gravity of the pipeline itself, the flow of the medium, vibration and other factors.
Anti-seismic characteristics: Under the influence of natural disasters such as earthquakes and winds, floating connectors can allow pipelines to move freely within a certain range and have certain self-protection capabilities, thereby protecting pipelines from damage by external factors.
The role of friction damping force: filling the space between the spherical surfaces and the spherical cups at both ends of the floating connector with lubricating oil or other anti-corrosion materials to form friction damping force, reduce vibration and shaking, and maintain the reliability of the connection device. 2.
Free movement characteristics: The design allows the floating connectors to rotate, move and twist, reducing the impact of waves and wind on floating objects and ensuring the stability of floating objects.
Spring or ball contact: The floating design is achieved through mechanisms such as spring or ball contact, which provides elasticity so that the connector can move freely and maintain good electrical contact, while providing shock and vibration resistance to ensure the reliability of the connection. 3.
To sum up, the floating connector achieves the flexibility, stability and reliability of the connection through the elasticity, rotation, impact resistance, friction damping force, free movement and other characteristics of its movable connectors.
