SUMMARY

[0004] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a kind of composite pipe connecting structure, injection mold and implementation method, to solve the problems of possible cracking, overflow and demoulding difficulty in prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides a kind of composite pipe connecting structure, including composite pipe, the spiral reinforcing rib of composite pipe is outwardly protruding, the steel pipe layer is arranged in the inside of composite pipe, the both ends of composite pipe are cross section, flange connection type pipe fitting is injection molded in cross section, and flange connection type pipe fitting wraps the outside, inside and end of cross section.

[0006] Further, the minimum outer diameter of the tubular part of the flange connection type pipe fitting is greater than the maximum diameter of the highest point of the spiral reinforcing rib of the composite pipe, and the tubular length is greater than the pitch of the spiral reinforcing rib.

[0007] Further, the outside of the flange connection type pipe fitting is flange-shaped, and the inside of the flange connection type pipe fitting is a reinforcing ring, which is located at the end of the inner surface of the composite pipe.

[0008] Further, the reinforcing ring is provided with a certain slope at the composite position between the reinforcing ring and the inner wall of the composite pipe at the other end of the pipe fitting head of the flange connection type.

[0009] The application further provides an injection mold for processing the composite pipe connecting structure, which comprises a core and a cavity, the core comprises a front ring, an expansion ring, a rear ring and a fixed mold plate arranged in sequence from left to right, the rear ring is fixedly connected with the fixed mold plate, the expansion ring is movably connected between the front ring and the rear ring, the expansion ring is spliced by a plurality of splicing blocks, and the splicing blocks are connected with hydraulic cylinders for moving the splicing blocks; when the hydraulic cylinders are in an extended state, the outer diameter of the expansion ring is greater than the outer diameter of the rear ring and slightly greater than the inner diameter of the composite pipe; when the hydraulic cylinders are in a contracted state, the outer diameter of the expansion ring is less than the outer diameter of the rear ring.

[0010] Further, the splicing blocks comprise large splicing blocks with large outer ends and small inner ends and small splicing blocks with small outer ends and large inner ends.

[0011] Further, the cavity comprises an upper cavity and a lower cavity which can be spliced with each other.

[0012] The application further provides an implementation method of the composite pipe connecting structure, characterized by using the injection mold to perform injection molding, and comprising the following steps:

[0013] S1, the hydraulic cylinders drive the small splicing blocks and the large splicing blocks to be contracted in sequence, the composite pipe to be injection molded is sleeved on the core, and a certain spacing is left between the cross section and the fixed mold plate;

[0020] The injection mold core of this invention avoids the problem of overflow during injection by setting a telescopic ring and a rear ring. The composite tube has outwardly protruding spiral reinforcing rib grooves, which means that the cross-section at any position is not the same ring shape.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the existing composite pipe connection structure has a flange-type fitting 4 covering the outside and end of the composite pipe 1, but not the inside. This can cause cracks at the fusion joint between the inner wall of the end of the composite pipe 1 and the flange-type fitting, resulting in the steel pipe inside the composite pipe 1 being exposed and corroded. Furthermore, since the cross-section of the composite pipe is not uniformly annular, the injection molding material inevitably overflows at the raised spiral reinforcing ribs. Moreover, due to the 10-fold difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the steel core and the non-metallic material, demolding after injection molding is difficult.

[0033] Example 1 of composite pipe connection structure

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a composite pipe connection structure includes a composite pipe 1 with outwardly protruding spiral reinforcing ribs 2. The composite pipe 1 has an internal steel pipe layer. The length of the composite pipe 1 is determined according to requirements. Both ends of the composite pipe 1 are cross-sections 3, and these cross-sections 3 are injection-molded with non-metallic flange-type fittings 4 for connecting flanges. The flange-type fittings 4 enclose the outside, inside, and ends of the cross-sections 3. The outside of the flange-type fittings 4 is flange-shaped, and the inside of the flange-type fittings 4 has a reinforcing ring 401 with a wall thickness of 1-5 mm and a width of 20-50 mm. The minimum outer diameter of the tubular portion of the flange-type fittings 4 is greater than the maximum diameter of the highest point of the spiral reinforcing ribs of the composite pipe, ensuring that the reinforcing ribs are completely enclosed by the flange-type fittings 4. The tubular length is greater than the pitch of the spiral reinforcing ribs 2, and the head is injection-molded with a waterline groove.

[0035] The non-metallic raw materials used in the composite pipe connection structure are selected according to different uses. For composite pipes used in coal mines, they must have flame-retardant and anti-static properties, while for non-coal mines and tunnels, they must have flame-retardant properties.

[0036] In this embodiment, the composite pipe connection structure, the flange connection type pipe fitting 4 not only wraps the outside and end of the composite pipe 1, but also wraps the inside of the composite pipe 1, so that no cracks will appear at the fusion position between the inner wall of the end of the composite pipe 1 and the flange connection type pipe fitting.

[0037] Example 2 of composite pipe connection structure

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the reinforcing ring 401 has a certain slope at the other end of the flange connection pipe fitting 4 and the composite part of the inner wall of the composite pipe 1; the slope is more conducive to the stable transportation of gas and also more conducive to processing and forming.

[0039] Injection mold Example 1

[0040] like Figures 4-7As shown, an injection mold for processing a composite pipe connection structure (Example 1) includes a core and a cavity. The core includes a front ring 5, a telescopic ring 6, a rear ring 7, and a fixed template 8 arranged sequentially from left to right. The rear ring 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed template 8. The telescopic ring 6 is movably connected between the front ring 5 and the rear ring 7. The telescopic ring 6 is composed of multiple splicing blocks, including four large splicing blocks 10 with larger outer ends and smaller inner ends, and four small splicing blocks 11 with smaller outer ends and larger inner ends. The splicing blocks are connected to a hydraulic cylinder 9 that drives the splicing blocks to move. When the hydraulic cylinder 9 is in the extended state, the outer diameter of the telescopic ring 6 is larger than the outer diameter of the rear ring 7 and 0.1-2 mm larger than the inner diameter of the composite pipe 1 to be injection molded. When the hydraulic cylinder is in the retracted state, the outer diameter of the telescopic ring 6 is smaller than the outer diameter of the rear ring 7.

[0041] The cavity includes an upper cavity 12 and a lower cavity 13 that can be spliced ​​together.

[0042] The injection mold of this embodiment can be used to injection mold the composite pipe connection structure in the above embodiment; and the injection-molded composite pipe is easy to remove.

[0043] Injection Molding Method Example

[0044] A method for implementing a composite pipe connection structure, using injection molding as described in Example 1, includes the following steps:

[0045] S1. Hydraulic cylinder 9 drives small splicing block 11 and large splicing block 10 to retract in sequence, so that the composite tube 1 to be injected is inserted into the core. A certain gap is left between the cross section 3 of the composite tube 1 and the fixed template 8.

[0046] S2. The upper cavity 12 moves downward and the lower cavity 13 moves upward, wrapping the end of the composite tube 1, and then the mold is closed.

[0047] S3, hydraulic cylinder 9 drives large splicing block 10 and small splicing block 11 to extend in sequence, telescopic ring 6 is pressed against the inner wall of composite pipe 1, and plasticized non-metallic material melt is injected through injection mold gate;

[0048] S4. After pressure holding and cooling, the hydraulic cylinder 9 drives the small splicing block 11 and the large splicing block 10 to shrink in sequence, the core moves backward, the upper cavity 12 moves upward and the lower cavity 13 moves downward to open the mold.

[0049] S5. After removing the product with the pre-molded flange connection type pipe fitting 4, the connection structure of one end of the composite pipe 1 is completed.

[0050] S6. Insert the iron flange into the composite pipe 1, and complete the forming of the connection structure at the other end of the composite pipe 1 according to steps S1 to S5.

[0051] Using the injection molding method in this embodiment, the composite pipe connection structure after injection molding is easy to remove, and no cracks will appear at the welding position between the end of the composite pipe 1 and the flange connection type pipe fitting 4.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
