[0002] The material composition of stainless steel pipe clamps produced in my country is 8% nickel and 92% iron. However, this composition has disadvantages in special environments. The main problem is that the nickel content is low, which leads to the limited anti-corrosion ability of stainless steel pipe clamps when facing corrosive environments such as strong acids and alkalis. It cannot provide sufficient protection, which has caused limitations for some special environments, such as aerospace, ships or submarine wires and cables.

[0003] Furthermore, in the international market, foreign manufacturers usually refer to international standards to select suppliers and products. Since my country's stainless steel pipe clamps do not meet the lower limit of international specifications, the stainless steel pipe clamps produced in my country cannot be accepted by foreign manufacturers, which limits my country's competitiveness in the international market.

[0004] Therefore, the anti-corrosion effect of stainless steel pipe clamps produced in my country is limited in special environments, and the composition does not meet international standards and cannot meet the needs of foreign manufacturers, thus limiting the application scope of pipe clamps and the competitiveness of Chinese products in the international market.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a titanium metal pipe clamp 100, which comprises:

[0034] The belt body 10 is made of titanium metal and is in the shape of a long rectangular sheet. The belt body 10 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 that are oppositely disposed.

[0035] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a tooth portion 13 is provided on the surface of the belt body 10, and the tooth portion 13 is a plurality of tooth holes 131, and each tooth hole 131 is arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the belt body 10, wherein each tooth hole 131 is a long rectangle, and the long side of each tooth hole 131 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the belt body 10; in this embodiment, a plurality of silk patterns L are provided on the surface of the belt body 10, and the pattern direction of each silk pattern L is perpendicular to the short side of each tooth hole 131.

[0036] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the second embodiment of the present invention, one side of the belt body 10 has a contact surface 14, and the contact surface 14 is provided with uneven concave-convex patterns, and the uneven concave-convex patterns can be formed by embossing or rolling.

[0037] The shell 20 is made of titanium metal and is disposed at the first end 11 of the belt body 10 . The second end 12 of the belt body 10 passes between the shell 20 and the first end 11 , so that the belt body 10 is ring-shaped.

[0038] Furthermore, the shell 20 has a first portion 21 and a plurality of second portions 22, each of the second portions 22 can be bent relative to the first portion 21, so that a turning edge 23 is formed between each of the second portions 22 and the first portion 21; a plurality of silk patterns L are provided on the surface of the shell 20 (it should be particularly noted that, in response to the physical properties of titanium metal, the shell 20 is formed by hot forging, and each silk pattern L is formed on the surface of the shell 20 by hot forging), and the grain direction of each silk pattern L is inclined at an angle A to any turning edge 23 of the shell 20, wherein the grain direction of each silk pattern L is linear, and the angle A is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, so that the grain direction of the silk pattern L is not parallel to any turning edge 23 of the shell 20.

[0039] The driving body 30 is made of titanium metal and is disposed in the housing 20 . The driving body 30 and the belt body 10 are restrained with each other.

[0040] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the driving body 30 is a bolt, and the driving body 30 can be engaged with each tooth hole 131 of the tooth portion 13 of the belt body 10 .

[0041] In the second embodiment of the present invention, the driving body 30 is a steel ball; the driving body 30 can be in frictional contact with the contact surface 14 of the belt body 10, and the driving body 30 will be restricted between the first portion 21 and each second portion 22 of the shell 20, wherein the second portion 22 has a resisting effect, so that the driving body 30 can rub against the contact surface 14 of the belt body 10 but does not separate from the shell 20; when the driving body 30 is pulled back by the reverse pulling force of the belt body 10, the driving body 30 can be clamped more tightly with the belt body 10 to enhance the stress strength and tensile resistance that it can withstand.

[0042] It should be particularly noted that the present invention can use a belt body 10, a shell 20 and a driver 30 made of pure titanium metal or alloy titanium metal according to the application environment, wherein the application environment is divided into a contact environment and a non-contact environment; the contact environment refers to the titanium metal pipe clamp 100 being directly applied to a corrosive environment such as a strong acid and a strong alkali, such as: the seabed, aviation, chemical industry and the like. Since a high corrosion resistance is required in a contact environment, the belt body 10, the shell 20 and the driver 30 made of pure titanium metal can effectively meet the requirements of this environment; the non-contact environment refers to the titanium metal pipe clamp 100 being arranged in an environment adjacent to a strong acid and a strong alkali, such as: the coast. Since the requirements for corrosion resistance in a non-contact environment are not as strict as those in a contact environment, the belt body 10, the shell 20 and the driver 30 made of alloy titanium metal can reduce the manufacturing cost while still having corrosion resistance.

[0043] See also Figures 5 to 8 As shown, and can be combined with reference Figures 1 to 4 Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a titanium metal pipe clamp, which comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step 1 S1: Make the titanium metal raw material into a strip titanium material, a driving body titanium material and a shell titanium material, wherein the surfaces of the strip titanium material, the driving body titanium material and the shell titanium material all have a plurality of silk patterns L; in the embodiment of the present invention, the titanium metal raw material is pure titanium metal material or alloy titanium metal material. The present invention can use the strip titanium material, the driving body titanium material and the shell titanium material made of pure titanium metal material or alloy titanium metal material according to the application environment.

[0045] It should be particularly noted that due to the physical properties of titanium metal raw materials (light specific gravity and corrosion resistance), hot forging is required to form the strip titanium material, the driving body titanium material and the shell titanium material, and each silk pattern L is formed on the surface of the strip titanium material, the driving body titanium material and the shell titanium material.

[0046] Step 2 S2 : Processing the belt body titanium material and the driving body titanium material to form the belt body 10 and the driving body 30 .

[0047] In the first embodiment of the present invention, in step two S2, the strip body titanium material is stamped to form a long strip of strip body 10, and a tooth portion 13 is provided on the surface of the strip body 10, and each tooth hole 131 is punched out; and the driving body titanium material can be processed to form the driving body 30 of the bolt at the same time or not.

[0048] In the second embodiment of the present invention, in step two S2, the strip body titanium material is processed to form a strip body 10 in the form of a long sheet, and a contact surface 14 with uneven texture is formed on the surface of the strip body 10 by embossing; and the driving body titanium material can be processed to form a steel ball driving body 30 at the same time or not.

[0049] Step three S3: stamping the titanium shell material through a stamping die of a stamping machine to form a shell plate P, wherein the shell plate P has a first portion P1 and a plurality of second portions P2.

[0050] In step three S3, the stamping direction of the shell titanium material relative to the stamping die can be adjusted according to the grain direction of each silk pattern L on the surface of the shell titanium material; it should be particularly noted that when the shell plate P is formed by the stamping die, the positions of the first part P1 and each second part P2 and the bending points between the first part P1 and each second part P2 can be known. Therefore, in step three S3, the direction of the shell titanium material relative to the stamping die can be adjusted to avoid the grain direction of each silk pattern L being parallel to the bending points between the first part P1 and each second part P2, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown.

[0051] Step 4 S4: Bend each second portion P2 of the shell plate P relative to the first portion P1 of the shell plate P to form a shell 20, wherein each second portion P2 and the first portion P1 are bent at a turning edge 23, and the grain direction of each silk pattern L on the surface of the shell 20 is inclined at an angle A to any turning edge 23, wherein the grain direction of each silk pattern L is linear, and the angle A is greater than 0 degrees and less than 180 degrees, so that the grain direction of the silk pattern L is not parallel to any turning edge 23 of the shell 20, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown.

[0052] Step 5 S5: One end of the belt body 10 is passed through between the shell 20 and the other end of the belt body 10 to make the belt body 10 annular. The driving body 30 is disposed in the shell 20 so that the driving body 30 and the belt body 10 are restrained from each other to assemble and form the titanium metal pipe clamp 100.

[0053] In the first embodiment of the present invention, in step five S5, when the driving body 30 and the belt body 10 are restrained from each other, the tooth portion 13 is meshed with the driving body 30. In the second embodiment of the present invention, in step five S5, when the driving body 30 and the belt body 10 are restrained from each other, the driving body 30 is in frictional contact with the contact surface 14.

[0054] In a possible embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 5 The steps 2 S2 and 3 S3 are performed simultaneously, the step 4 S4 is a continuation of the step 3 S3, and the step 5 S5 is a continuation of the step 1 S1 to the step 4 S4. Figure 6 As shown, step 1 S1 to step 5 S5 are performed in sequence.

[0055] Therefore, the present invention does not particularly limit the step sequence of the manufacturing method of the titanium metal pipe clamp 100. After obtaining the strip body titanium material, the driving body titanium material and the shell titanium material in step 1 S1, the subsequent steps can be adjusted according to the manufacturing requirements as described above to assemble the titanium metal pipe clamp 100.

[0056] In summary, the present invention can achieve the following effects:

[0057] 1. The present invention uses titanium metal to make the belt body 10, the shell 20 and the driving body 30 of the pipe clamp. By utilizing the light specific gravity and anti-corrosion physical properties of titanium metal, the pipe clamp can be used in special environments with strong acids and alkalis, thereby effectively extending the service life of the titanium metal pipe clamp 100.

[0058] 2. The titanium metal pipe clamp 100 of the present invention can comply with international standards and be used in special environments, thus effectively improving the competitiveness in the international market.

[0059] 3. The titanium metal pipe clamp 100 of the present invention can make the texture direction of each thread L on the surface of the shell 20 be inclined at an angle A with any turning edge 23 of the shell 20, so that the turning edge 23 has toughness, and can avoid the texture direction of the thread L being parallel to the turning edge 23, thereby reducing the structural strength and causing the problem of breakage, thereby effectively improving the structural strength.

[0060] 4. The titanium metal pipe clamp 100 of the present invention can be made of pure titanium metal or alloy titanium metal according to different application environments, which can effectively control the manufacturing cost and at the same time have sufficient corrosion resistance and structural strength in a suitable environment.

[0061] 5. The titanium metal pipe clamp 100 of the present invention utilizes the physical property of titanium metal, that is, its light specific gravity, so that when the weight is the same as that of a stainless steel pipe clamp, the thickness of each component of the titanium metal pipe clamp 100 can be greater than the thickness of each component of the stainless steel pipe clamp, thereby effectively improving the structural strength of the titanium metal pipe clamp 100.
