[0018] The present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0019] See also Figure 1-2 ,
[0020] A corrugated tube includes a tube body 101. A T-shaped protrusion 102 is arranged on one side of the tube body 101, and a groove 103 is arranged on the other side of the tube body 101. The lengths of the T-shaped protrusion 102 and the groove 103 are consistent with the length of the tube body 101.
[0021] The T-shaped protrusion 102 and the groove 103 are both integrally formed with the tube body 101 by injection molding. The conventional corrugated tube itself is elastic. When rolling up, the user needs to put the corrugated tube into a backpack or tie it with a rope, which is inconvenient to carry and wastes time to roll up. When the corrugated tube of the present application needs to roll up the tube body 101, the user curls the tube body 101 so that the T-shaped protrusion 102 on one side is inserted into the groove 103 on the other side. Then, when the tube body 101 is rolled up, it can maintain its shape with the cooperation of the T-shaped protrusion 102 and the groove 103 and will not open automatically. Compared with conventional corrugated tubes, it can reduce the occupied space and has the characteristic of being easy to carry.
[0022] See also Figure 5-8 ,
[0023] A manufacturing device for a corrugated pipe includes two forming covers 401 and a forming roller 302 . The forming roller 302 is located between the two forming covers 401 . A first forming groove 402 is provided inside one of the forming covers 401 , and a second forming groove 403 is provided inside the other forming cover 401 .
[0024] When using the manufacturing device, the two molding covers 401 are controlled to be interlocked with each other so that the two molding covers 401 wrap the molding roller 302, and there is a gap between the two molding covers 401 and the molding roller 302. At this time, molten rubber is injected into the gap between the two molding covers 401 and the molding roller 302, thereby realizing the function of injection molding of the tube body 101. At the same time, the molten rubber enters the first molding groove 402 and the second molding groove 403, and can form a T-shaped protrusion 102 and a groove 103 on the surface of the tube body 101 respectively, thereby realizing the manufacture of the corrugated tube. After the corrugated tube is cooled and formed, the two molding covers 401 are controlled to separate.
[0025] See also Figure 7 ,
[0026] The manufacturing device further comprises two embossing covers 501 , the forming roller 302 is located in the middle of the two embossing covers 501 , and a plurality of arc-shaped ridges 502 are arranged on the inner walls of the two embossing covers 501 .
[0027] After the tube body 101 is processed, the two embossed covers 501 are heated by an electric heating device, and then the two embossed covers 501 are controlled to move relative to each other and snap onto the surface of the tube body 101. The heated multiple arc-shaped ridges 502 can extrude corrugations on the surface of the tube body 101, and finally the processing of the corrugated tube is completed.
[0028] See also Figure 5 ,
[0029] The two forming covers 401 are both rotatably connected to two hinged rods 405 , and the two ends of the two hinged rods 405 are rotatably connected to the two embossing covers 501 .
[0030] When the two molding covers 401 are buckled together, the cooperation of multiple hinged rods 405 can drive the two embossed covers 501 to open automatically, which makes it easy to mold and manufacture the tube body 101. When corrugations need to be processed, the two molding covers 401 are controlled to separate. At this time, the two embossed covers 501 are automatically buckled on the tube body 101, and then corrugations can be processed on the tube body 101. In this process, it is only necessary to control the opening and closing of the two molding covers 401, and there is no need to control the two molding covers 401 separately, which reduces the operating steps and makes the overall production process more coherent.
[0031] See also Figure 4 ,
[0032] The manufacturing device also includes a base 201, to which a double-headed cylinder 202 is fixedly connected by bolts, and two forming covers 401 are respectively fixedly connected to two moving ends of the double-headed cylinder 202 by bolts.
[0033] By controlling the two moving ends of the double-headed cylinder 202 to contract, the two molding covers 401 can be driven to engage with each other, thereby realizing the function of injection molding of the tube body 101, and at the same time, the two embossing covers 501 are automatically opened.
[0034] See also Figure 3-4 ,
[0035] Feed pipes 404 are welded on the two molding covers 401 , and the feed pipes 404 are connected to the screw extruder.
[0036] The two feed pipes 404 are connected to a screw extruder, and the molten rubber is extruded by the screw extruder and enters the gap between the two molding covers 401 and the molding roller 302 through the two feed pipes 404 .
[0037] See also Figure 6 ,
[0038] The interior of the forming roller 302 is a hollow structure, a connecting pipe 301 is welded on the forming roller 302 , and a plurality of nozzles 303 are installed on the surface of the forming roller 302 .
[0039] When the bellows processing is completed, cooling oil is introduced into the connecting pipe 301 so that the cooling oil is evenly sprayed out through multiple nozzles 303, and then the cooling oil can enter between the bellows and the forming roller 302 to play a lubricating role, making it easier for the staff to remove the processed bellows from the forming roller 302.
[0040] See also Figure 3 ,
[0041] The connecting pipe 301 is rotatably connected to the base 201 via a bearing.
[0042] When taking out the bellows, the forming roller 302 is driven to rotate by controlling the connecting tube 301 and fixing the bellows, so that the bellows can be rotated out, reducing the friction between the bellows and the forming roller 302, and further speeding up the taking out of the bellows.
[0043] See also Figure 3 ,
[0044] The base 201 is fixedly connected with a driving motor 204 by means of bolts, and the output shaft of the driving motor 204 and the connecting pipe 301 are both fixedly connected with a gear 203 , and the two gears 203 are meshed for transmission.
[0045] The driving motor 204 drives one of the gears 203 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting pipe 301 to rotate. The connecting pipe 301 is connected to the hose through a bearing, so that cooling oil can be introduced into the connecting pipe 301 during its rotation.

[0047] Step 1: Control the two forming covers 401 to buckle with each other so that the two forming covers 401 wrap the forming roller 302;
[0048] Step 2: injecting molten rubber into the gap between the two molding covers 401 and the molding roller 302;
[0049] Step 3: The molten rubber enters the first molding groove 402 and the second molding groove 403 to form a T-shaped protrusion 102 and a groove 103 on the surface of the tube body 101 respectively;
[0050] Step 4: The two embossed covers 501 are heated by an electric heating device, and then the two embossed covers 501 are controlled to move relative to each other and buckle onto the surface of the tube body 101, and the heated multiple arc-shaped ridges 502 are used to extrude corrugations on the surface of the tube body 101;
[0051] Step 5: Cooling oil is introduced into the connecting pipe 301 so that the cooling oil is uniformly sprayed out through the multiple nozzles 303, thereby allowing the cooling oil to enter between the bellows and the forming roller 302, and then the bellows is removed.
