Detailed Implementation

[0041] refer to Figure 5 Detailed explanation of the structure of PE pipes:

[0042] A PE pipe includes a pipe body 11 and a plurality of spiral protrusions fixedly connected to the pipe body 11, as well as a plurality of spiral grooves machined on the inner wall of the pipe body 11 corresponding to the spiral protrusions. When the PE pipe is in use, the spiral protrusions and grooves corresponding to the inner wall of the PE pipe can buffer the fluid flowing inside, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the fluid and reducing the impact of the fluid on the inner wall of the PE pipe. The spiral protrusions and grooves corresponding to the inner wall of the PE pipe can also increase the ease of rotating the PE pipe.

[0043] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0044] refer to Figure 1 and 6 The detailed implementation process for manufacturing PE pipes is as follows:

[0045] The method includes the following steps:

[0046] Step 1: Thoroughly mix various raw materials and evenly disperse them to ensure uniform distribution, which facilitates the processing of PE pipes with uniform performance.

[0047] Step 2: Heat the raw materials to a molten state and push them out, so that the solid raw materials can be melted into a fluid, which facilitates the uniform dispersion of various raw materials and the subsequent molding of PE pipes;

[0048] Step 3: Add the molten raw material into the outer frame 21 and inner frame 23 for molding. The PE pipe is formed by the constraint of the outer frame 21 and inner frame 23.

[0049] Step 4: The added raw materials are repeatedly pushed to fully form the PE pipe. By repeatedly pushing the material to pressurize the formed PE pipe, the air pores inside the formed PE pipe are reduced, and a fine PE pipe is produced.

[0050] Step 5: Cool and shape the formed PE pipe to cool the PE pipe between the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 23, thereby shaping the PE pipe and preventing deformation.

[0051] Step Six: The reciprocating motion of the shaped PE pipe enables continuous transportation of the PE pipe, thereby ensuring the continuous manufacturing of the PE pipe.

[0052] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0053] refer to Figure 1 The detailed explanation outlines how the scraped-off raw materials are fully incorporated into the PE pipe manufacturing process.

[0054] In step two, when the molten raw material flows out, the attached raw material is scraped off completely to ensure that the raw material is fully involved in the manufacturing of PE pipes, prevent waste of raw materials, and save on the cost of manufacturing PE pipes.

[0055] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0056] refer to Figure 2 and 4 The following details the implementation process of reciprocating the raw material to form PE pipes:

[0057] The reciprocating pushing of the added raw materials in step four includes the following steps:

[0058] S1: Push the pressure block 42 to slide and pressurize the raw material. By pushing the pressure block 42 to slide, the space between the pressure block 42 and the formed PE pipe is reduced, thereby pressurizing the raw material and reducing the number of pores in the formed PE pipe, thus producing a PE pipe with a fine texture.

[0059] S2: Pull the pressure block 42 to reset and release pressure at the same time, to ensure that the raw material can be pressurized when the pressure block 42 is pushed to slide again, and to prevent negative pressure from being generated when the pressure block 42 is reset, which would affect the molding of PE pipe.

[0060] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0061] refer to Figure 7 , 8 Section 10 details the process of shaping the cooled PE pipe:

[0062] The cooling process in step five includes the following steps:

[0063] S1: By circulating coolant into the rotating inner bend 31, the inner wall of the PE pipe is cooled, thereby uniformly cooling the inner wall of the PE pipe through the rotation of the inner bend 31, thus shaping the inner wall of the PE pipe.

[0064] S2: The outer wall of the PE pipe is cooled by circulating coolant in the outward bend 51, thereby shaping the outer wall of the PE pipe through the outward bend 51.

[0065] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0066] refer to Figure 3 and 11 Detailed explanation of the implementation process for transporting PE pipelines:

[0067] Step six involves reciprocating the movement of the shaped PE pipe, which includes the following steps:

[0069] S2: Drive the two clamping blocks 67 to move and transport PE pipes;

[0070] S3: Drive the two clamping blocks 67 to separate and loosen the shaped PE pipe;

[0071] S4: Drive the two clamping blocks 67 to reset and repeat the transportation of PE pipe, thereby achieving continuous transportation of the formed PE pipe by reciprocating clamping of the PE pipe and reciprocating driving of the PE pipe.

[0072] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0073] refer to Figure 6 , 9 Section 14 details the implementation process of molding PE pipes:

[0074] The outer frame 21 is fixedly connected to the inner frame 23. A guide frame 22 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 21, so that the raw material is added by adding molten raw material into the guide frame 22. A valve is provided in the guide frame 22, so that the flow of the guide frame 22 can be controlled and cut off. The PE pipe is formed through the space between the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 23. The pressure block 42 is slidably connected between the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 23. The pressure block 42 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rods of two cylinders I 41. Both cylinders I 41 are fixedly connected to the outer frame 21. A pressure relief pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 21, so as to drive the two cylinders I 41. The cylinder rods of the two cylinders I 41 drive the pressure block 42 to slide back and forth, thereby reducing the formation of air holes in the formed PE pipe.

[0075] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

[0076] refer to Figure 7 , 8 Sections 10 and 14 detail the implementation process of cooling PE pipes:

[0077] The inner bend 31 is fixedly connected to the gear ring frame 32, which is rotatably connected to the inner frame 23. The inner bend 31 is located in the middle of the inner frame 23. Two eccentric wheels 33 that drive the gear ring frame 32 to rotate are rotatably connected to the outer frame 21. The outer bend 51 is fixedly connected to the outer frame 21, and two connecting pipes 52 are fixedly connected to it. The two eccentric wheels 33 are respectively fixedly connected to the output shafts of two reduction motors I. Both reduction motors I are fixedly connected to the outer frame 21. When the two reduction motors I are started, they drive the two eccentric wheels 33 to rotate. The two eccentric wheels 33 mesh and drive the gear ring frame 32 to rotate, which in turn drives the inner bend 31 to rotate. The inner bend 31 and the two connecting pipes 52 are connected to an externally installed coolant supply device. Thus, the coolant circulates between the inner bend 31 and the outer bend 51 through the externally installed coolant supply device, thereby cooling the inner and outer walls of the PE pipe and achieving the forming of the PE pipe.

[0078] In conjunction with the above embodiments, the following functions can also be achieved;

An auxiliary frame 63 is fixedly connected to the cylinder rods of the two cylinders II 62. A ring frame 64 is rotatably connected to the auxiliary frame 63. Two semi-arc plates 66 are rotatably connected inside the ring frame 64. Each of the two semi-arc plates 66 is fixedly connected to a corresponding clamping block 67. Two cylinders III 65 are fixedly connected to the ring frame 64. Thus, when transporting PE pipes, the two cylinders III 65 are activated, the cylinder rods of the two cylinders III 65 extend, and the cylinders III 65... The rod pushes the two semi-arc plates 66 closer together, and the two semi-arc plates 66 drive the two clamping blocks 67 closer together, thereby clamping the PE pipe with the two clamping blocks 67. Then, the two cylinders II 62 are activated, and the cylinder rods of the two cylinders II 62 extend. The cylinder rods of the two cylinders II 62 drive the auxiliary frame 63 to move, the auxiliary frame 63 drives the ring frame 64 to move, the ring frame 64 drives the two semi-arc plates 66 to move, and the two semi-arc plates 66 drive the two clamping blocks 67 to move, thereby realizing the transportation of the PE pipe and thus continuously manufacturing the PE pipe.
