[0023] The above and other embodiments and advantages of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0024] In one embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown:

[0025] The present embodiment provides a strong and tough stainless steel pipe, including an outer tube body 1, which is filled with an inner tube fitting 2, the tube diameter of the inner tube fitting 2 is smaller than the tube cavity diameter of the outer tube body 1, and a filling space 3 is formed between the inner tube fitting 2 and the tube cavity of the outer tube body 1, and the filling space 3 is filled with a composite layer 4, and the composite layer 4 includes a circular spring ring 5, and the spring ring 5 is a wave ring with inner and outer protrusions. The inner protrusion of the spring ring 5 elastically presses on the tube wall of the inner tube fitting 2, and the outer protrusion of the spring ring 5 elastically presses on the cavity wall of the outer tube body 1, and the inner and outer protrusions on the spring ring 5 are evenly arranged in the ring shape of the spring ring 5, and a warping ring 6 is fixed at the bottom end of the inner tube fitting 2, and the warping ring 6 is circular, and the outer edge of the warping ring 6 is upward Bending and locking on the tube wall of the outer tube body 1, the inner tube 2 is composed of at least four tube units 7, and the warping ring 6 is composed of at least four warping ring units 8. A corresponding warping ring unit 8 is fixed to the bottom end of each tube unit 7, and each adjacent two tube units 7 are butt-jointed together, and each adjacent two warping ring units 8 follow the two tube units 7 and are butt-jointed together. When the tube cavity of the inner tube 2 is heated, the heat is transferred to the four tube units 7, so that the four tube units 7 expand in the radial direction and separate from each other in the circumferential direction, and the heat expansion is transferred to the inner protrusion of the spring coil 5 through the outer wall of the tube unit 7, so that the spring coil 5 expands radially in the packing space 3.

[0026] The composite layer 4 also includes an expansion agent filled in the filler space 3. The expansion agent fills the filler space 3 along the height direction. The spring coil 5 is buried in the filler space 3 by the expansion agent. When the lumen of the inner pipe 2 is heated, the heat is transferred to the filler space 3 through the wall of the inner pipe 2, so that the expansion agent releases the expansion effect and acts on the spring coil 5, so that the spring coil 5 expands radially toward the lumen wall of the outer tube body 1.

[0027] The composite layer 4 also includes a mixture filled in the filler space 3 by weight, and the mixture includes C: 0.15%-0.35%, Si: 0.10%-0.60%, Mn: 1.00%-2.00%, Nb: 0.02%-0.07%, Al: 0.01%-0.06%, Ti: 0.02%-0.12%.

[0028] Before the pipe fitting is used, it is heat-treated by a high-temperature heating rod, and the heating rod is inserted into the inner pipe fitting 2. When the inner pipe fitting 2 is heated, two actions will occur. First, after the inner pipe fitting 2 is heated, its four pipe fitting units 7 will expand radially (radial expansion), and the outer walls of the four pipe fitting units 7 will be used to lock the composite layer in the packing space 3; second, when the four pipe fitting units 7 are heated and expanded, they will expand radially, and the outer wall surface of the four pipe fitting units 7 will provide pressure to the spring coil 5 through the outer protrusion, forcing the spring coil 5 to radially expand in the packing space 3. Expanded, and further locked in the packing space 3; it can be seen that when the pipe is heat treated, the inner pipe 2 is used as the heat source starting position for heating, so that the four-piece pipe unit 7 radially expands and moves. At this time, the packing space 3 becomes narrower, so that the composite layer and the spring coil 5 are clamped in the packing space 3. When the four-piece pipe unit 7 is heated to martensite by the heating rod, its strength and toughness can be improved. The four-piece pipe unit 7 is used as the inner layer tube of the outer tube body 1, and is assisted by the outer tube body 1 in supporting occasions, which can improve the supporting strength of the entire pipe fitting. The composite layer 4 includes a mixture filled in the filler space 3 by weight, and the mixture includes but is not limited to C: 0.15%-0.35%, Si: 0.10%-0.60%, Mn: 1.00%-2.00%, Nb: 0.02%-0.07%, Al: 0.01%-0.06%, Ti: 0.02%-0.12%. When the inner pipe 2 is heated to martensite at high temperature, heat is transferred to these mixtures, and these mixtures exert mechanical properties. After annealing To further improve the strength and toughness of the pipe fitting, the spring coil 5 is sandwiched between the outer wall of the four-piece pipe fitting unit 7 and the inner wall of the outer tube body 1 (in the packing space 3), which is equivalent to forming an elastic connection structure between the four-piece pipe fitting unit 7 and the outer tube body 1. When the outer part of the outer tube body 1 is subjected to radial impact, the spring coil 5 releases its elasticity and reduces the destructive force, and the outer tube body 1 radially reduces vibration, thereby improving the ability of the outer tube body 1 to resist bending deformation. There are several spring coils 5, and the several spring coils 5 are arranged along the length direction of the packing space 3 ( Figure 1The spring coils 5 are buried in the mixture at equal distances (in the height direction) in the filling space 3, that is, the spring coils 5 are buried in the mixture at different length positions of the filling space 3 in an equidistant manner. When the outer wall of the outer tube body 1 is subjected to radial impact force, the spring coils 5 buffer and reduce the impact force at the same time. Since the spring coils 5 are distributed at different positions of the filling space 3, the outer tube body 1 has greatly improved anti-bending and anti-deformation capabilities when it is impacted.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the spring coil 5 is a wavy full-circle structure. Therefore, when the inner ring of the inner pipe 2 is heated and causes its four-piece pipe unit 7 to move radially, the movement force is transmitted to the spring coil 5 through the inner protrusion, and then transmitted to the outer tube body 1 by the outer protrusion on the spring coil 5. Even if the inner pipe 2 is deformed by heat treatment, the outer tube body 1 will not be deformed. The outer tube body 1 is an outer stainless tube with decorative properties. The heat-treated inner pipe 2 (four-piece pipe unit 7) is the inner core of the outer tube body 1 and can fully assist the outer tube body 1 in bearing loads. The spring coil 5 is made of flat steel. The spring coil 5 is vertically arranged in the packing space 3 in a manner that the thickness side of the flat steel is vertical, that is, the narrow side of the spring coil 5 is vertical downward, the outer wide surface is elastically contacted with the cavity wall of the outer tube body 1 by the outer protrusion, and the inner wide surface is elastically contacted with the four-piece pipe unit 7 by the inner protrusion. When the outer tube body 1 is impacted, the elastic area of ​​the spring coil 5 is increased, and the anti-bending and anti-deformation capabilities are further improved.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the outer tube body 1 is provided with release holes 9, which are arranged in several rows and are evenly arranged along the length direction of the outer tube body 1. The release holes 9 are round holes, and each tube unit 7 has at least one row of release holes 9 on its outer side. When the heating rod enters the inner tube 2 (four tube units 7) for heat treatment, the tube unit 7 releases heat, which is transferred to the packing space 3 to heat the mixture in the packing space 3 and then released to the outside through the release holes 9.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 6As shown, the four-piece pipe fitting unit 7 is composed of two first pipe fitting units 71 and two second pipe fitting units 72. The two sides of the first pipe fitting unit 71 are butted against the adjacent sides of the two second pipe fitting units 72, and the two sides of the first pipe fitting unit 71 are provided with burrs 73 butted against the adjacent sides of the two second pipe fitting units 72. The burrs 73 are L-shaped notches formed on the two sides of the first pipe fitting unit 71 and composed of an outer clamping portion 74 and an inner extension portion 75. The burrs 73 are butted against the adjacent sides of the second pipe fitting unit 72 through the clamping portion 74, and the extension portion 75 extends an arc length along the arc-shaped inner surface of the second pipe fitting unit 72 in a seamless butt-jointed manner. The first pipe unit 71 and the second pipe unit 72 move in the circumferential direction relative to the docking relationship of the flash 73, and at the same time, the four warping ring units 8 move synchronously with the first pipe unit 71 and the second pipe unit 72 in the circumferential direction. When the four pipe units 7 expand due to heat and move in the radial direction, they are still docked together by the extension part 75 and the clamping part 74. When the inner pipe 2 is heated, it not only ensures that the four pipe units 7 move effectively in four directions respectively, but also ensures that the two adjacent pipe units 7 are connected together, avoiding cracks at the docking points of the two pipe units 7, causing the mixture in the filler space 3 to flow into the inner pipe 2.

[0032] The above orientation designations do not represent the specific orientations of the components in this implementation scheme. This implementation scheme is only for the convenience of describing the scheme, and the orientations are described relatively with reference to the figures. In essence, the specific orientations of the components are described according to their actual installation and actual use as well as the customary orientations of technicians in this field. This is hereby explained.

[0033] The specific implementation methods described above further describe the invention purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
