PIPELINE COUPLING WITH DRIVE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC F16L37/12 

FIELD: pipeline transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to pipeline transport and relates to couplings and is intended for detachable connection of two adjacent flanges of pipelines, in particular, it is incorporated with loading, loading and reloading hoses, articulated pipelines and manipulators, loading levers, hose and bunkering plants and other devices for shipment and overflow of liquid and gaseous products. Pipeline coupling with drive includes a coupling flange with a sealant and a coupling housing installed on it with attachment lugs of at least three guides – centralizers and at least two clamps equidistant along the circumference of the coupling housing, where the coupling flange is, but not limited to, the pipeline hinge flange and can have inert gas purging channels and connection control sensors, wherein both clamps are of bracket-like shape with web between bracket arcs and are controlled by spring rod connected with rotary support with movable drive bracket where the latter is mounted on fixed bracket of support ring.

EFFECT: technical solution enables to use a coupling flange located directly on the pipeline or its section, which does not reduce the main characteristics of the coupling with a drive.
