However, in a high temperature environment, especially when the temperature difference changes greatly, the protective layer is easy to fall off or separate from the steel pipe due to thermal expansion and contraction, thus losing its anti-corrosion effect and cannot be used as an anti-corrosion layer for heat exchange tubes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the invention is to solve the problem of loose bonding between the coating and the surface of the steel pipe in the background art, and to provide a method and a device for producing plastic steel pipes. The present invention can seal a layer of plastic film on the outer surface of the steel pipe, and the steel pipe and the plastic film are tightly bonded. Temperature changes do not affect the bonding between the steel pipe and the plastic film. The plastic material can be selected from polyester, fluoroplastics or polyolefins, etc., and the thickness of the plastic film can be 0.05mm-5mm. The type of plastic and the thickness of the plastic film can be adjusted according to demand. For example, fluoroplastics can be used in a high-temperature corrosive environment. If a good heat exchange effect is required, the thickness of the plastic film can be small. It also has the advantages of simple production and low cost.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention: A method for producing a plastic-steel pipe comprises the following steps: Step 1: Heating process: The processed plastic film tube is injected into the heating unit in the flow channel of the plastic film tube, and heated by the inner cavity of the heating unit. Different heating temperatures are set according to different plastic materials. Step 2, tube expansion process: the heated plastic film tube enters the tube expansion unit in the plastic film tube flow channel for continuous tube expansion; Step 3: Shaping process: After tube expansion, the plastic film tube continuously enters the shaping unit for rapid cooling and shaping, so that the plastic film tube remains in the expanded state; Step 4: Casing process: The plastic film tube in the expanded state is inserted from one end of the casing unit, and the steel pipe is inserted from the other end of the casing unit to complete the casing process and obtain a semi-finished product; Step 5: Plastic sealing process: The semi-finished product enters the plastic sealing unit. In the plastic sealing unit, a vacuum is drawn between the steel pipe and the plastic film tube, and the outside of the plastic film tube is heated. The plastic film tube shrinks after heating and plastic sealing and is tightly combined with the steel pipe to obtain a finished product.

[0005] The outside of the plastic film tube is heated by hot air on the outside of the semi-finished product, and the plastic film is tightly sealed on the steel tube; the hot air temperature is 200~380℃ for fluoroplastics, 70~190℃ for polyesters, and 70~120℃ for polyolefins.
