Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipe connection technology, specifically to a heat-shrinkable tape-based quick connection method for high-strength steel strip double-wall corrugated pipes. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization, the scale of municipal infrastructure construction continues to expand. As a crucial component of urban construction, drainage pipeline engineering has garnered significant attention for its construction quality and efficiency. Steel-reinforced double-wall corrugated pipes, with their advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, and large drainage capacity, have been widely used in drainage pipeline projects. Heat-shrink tape quick-connect technology, as a novel pipe connection process, demonstrates unique advantages in addressing construction challenges in areas with large temperature differences. Its core principle utilizes the thermal shrinkage properties of heat-shrink tape to maintain stable shrinkage stress under varying temperature conditions.

[0003] Currently, in the heat shrinkable tape connection process of high-strength steel strip double-wall corrugated pipes, the interfacial bonding between the heat shrinkable tape and the plastic surface of the pipe and the steel strip reinforcement mainly relies on the hot melt physical adhesion of hot melt adhesive. This bonding mechanism is prone to creep or stress relaxation under the long-term action of complex stress and media, which will lead to the gradual failure of the sealing interface and cause media leakage. At the same time, the existing process is highly dependent on the degree of pretreatment and cleanliness of the pipe connection end face. When there are invisible grease, moisture or micro-defects on the surface, it will directly weaken the bonding foundation. However, the lack of online monitoring and real-time compensation methods for such hidden defects during construction results in a large dispersion of connection quality, making it difficult to ensure long-term reliable sealing of the joint.

[0004] Therefore, a heat-shrinkable tape quick-connect method for high-strength steel strip double-wall corrugated pipes is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0048] The preparation method of the bonding fluid includes: adding isocyanate resin and epoxy resin into a temperature-controlled reactor, controlling the temperature at 35°C, stirring at 600 r / min for 25 min to prepolymerize the resin, adding silane-modified polymer, continuing to stir for 20 min, then adding solvent and antioxidant, stirring at 800 r / min for 30 min, finally adding functional additives, increasing the speed to 1200 r / min and stirring for 50 min until uniformly mixed, filtering and storing in a sealed container, with a shelf life of no more than 7 days.

[0049] The functional additives are prepared by the following method: industrial waste ceramics or glass fibers are collected, sorted, and then soaked in a pickling tank with 10% hydrochloric acid solution for 2 hours. They are then rinsed with deionized water until neutral, dried in an oven at 100℃ for 3 hours, crushed and ground using a ball mill, and sieved to obtain ceramic microparticles with a particle size of 100 μm. These ceramic microparticles are then spread evenly in a plasma treatment chamber, and a vacuum is drawn to a pressure... The gas is introduced at a flow rate of 60 sccm using nitrogen or argon, and then treated for 20 minutes using a plasma generator at a power of 800W.

[0050] Step 3, the coating of the connecting fluid, includes: using a spraying device or an airless spray gun to uniformly spray the connecting fluid onto the surface of the pipe end, with a spraying pressure of 0.6 MPa, a spraying speed of 20 cm / s, and a coating thickness of 0.3 mm. After coating, let it stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, and then place the coated area in an 80°C environment for 5 minutes. The ambient temperature of the coating operation is controlled at 30°C and the ambient humidity is below 70%.

[0051] In step four, the heat shrink tape is wrapped with a 60% overlap to ensure no bubbles or wrinkles. The hot melt adhesive inside the heat shrink tape is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or polyamide hot melt adhesive with a melt index of 30g / 10min. Before wrapping, the heat shrink tape needs to be preheated at 60℃ for 2 minutes. After wrapping, use a pressure roller to roll out the air at a pressure of 0.3MPa.

[0052] In step five, during the heat shrinking process, the heating device moves uniformly along the circumference of the heat shrink tape. The heating time is 10 minutes, and the temperature gradient is controlled as follows: initial preheating at 120℃ for 2 minutes, then increasing to 180℃ for main shrinking for 5 minutes, and finally holding at 140℃ for 3 minutes to allow the hot melt adhesive to flow fully. The heating distance is 20 cm. After heat shrinking, the volume resistivity of the joint is not less than [value missing]. The sealing pressure shall not be less than 0.5 MPa.

[0053] In step six, during the curing and cooling process, the joint can be left to cool and cure naturally in a natural environment for 4 hours, or a forced air cooling device can be used to accelerate the cooling for 1 hour at a wind speed of 10 m / s to reduce the temperature of the joint to below 40°C. After curing, the joint should be visually inspected to ensure that the surface of the heat shrink tape is flat, the hot melt adhesive is evenly overflowing and there are no visible defects before proceeding with the subsequent trench backfilling construction.

[0054] The performance of the heat-shrinkable tape connectors of the high-strength steel strip double-wall corrugated pipes prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 was tested. The test items and test methods are as follows: Peel strength test: Under the standard environment of temperature 23±2℃ and humidity 50±5%, a universal testing machine was used to peel the overlap edge of the heat shrink tape along the axial direction of the pipe at a constant speed of 100mm / min. The force value during the peeling process was recorded and the average peel force per unit width was calculated. For the sealing test, place the connected pipe section flat, seal one end, inject clean water from the other end and remove air, then connect the pressurization system and uniformly raise the internal water pressure to 0.6MPa at room temperature, maintain the pressure for 30 minutes, and observe the change in the pressure gauge value and whether there is any leakage or cracking on the outer surface of the connection part. For the pressure resistance test, the two ends of the sample are sealed and completely immersed in the water tank. Dry compressed air is introduced into the tube, and the pressure is gradually increased to 0.02MPa and kept stable. The pressure holding time is 5 minutes. During this period, visual inspection is performed to check whether there are continuous bubbles escaping from the submerged part. For the thermal cycling test, the connection sample is placed in a high and low temperature alternating test chamber. The cycling conditions are set as follows: -20℃ for 2 hours to 60℃ for 2 hours as one cycle. Five cycles are performed continuously. After the test, the sample is allowed to recover at room temperature for 2 hours. Then, the sealing test is performed again according to the above method to check the performance changes.

[0055] The test data of the high-strength steel strip double-wall corrugated tube heat shrinkable tape joints prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are recorded in the table below: By comparing and analyzing the data in the table, it can be seen that the high-strength steel strip double-wall corrugated pipe heat shrinkable tape joints prepared using the processes in Examples 1-3 have better peel strength and sealing pressure than comparative examples 1-4. This indicates that by systematically degreasing, roughening, and drying the pipe connection ends, removing surface contaminants and forming a suitable roughness, a clean and well-anchored substrate is provided for subsequent bonding. This solves the problem of weak bonding caused by interface contamination and microscopic defects, improves the basic firmness and consistency of the connection interface, and ensures the reliability of the connection quality. By applying a special bonding fluid, it fully melts and combines with the hot melt adhesive of the inner layer of the heat shrinkable tape during the heat shrinking process. This not only achieves physical sealing but also forms a strong chemical bond and mechanical interlock at the interface, enhancing the joint's resistance to creep and stress relaxation under long-term loads, thereby ensuring the long-term durability and stability of the sealing interface under complex working conditions. By optimizing the wrapping process of heat shrink tape and controlling the temperature curve of heat shrink treatment, the heat shrink tape is ensured to shrink evenly under heat and the hot melt adhesive is fully flowed and wetted. Combined with the controlled curing and cooling process, the joints are made into a dense and stable structure that resists external mechanical stress and temperature difference changes, ensuring the uniform and reliable performance of the joints and broadening the adaptability of construction.

[0056] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the pipe joints prepared by the rapid connection method provided by this invention have excellent sealing reliability, mechanical strength, and long-term durability. This indicates that the connection method provided by this invention has a reasonable process and excellent overall performance.
