AI Technical Summary
In the existing process of rigid polyurethane sprayed polyethylene wound prefabricated direct-buried insulated pipes, the lack of a transitional composite structure between the polyurethane insulation layer and the polyethylene outer sheath makes it easy for micro gaps to form between the layers, allowing water vapor to penetrate and causing the insulation layer to absorb water and become powdery, and the pipe to corrode. This cannot meet the application requirements of high-standard, long-life pipe networks.
The process employs three-stage purification + gradient temperature control preheating, dynamic proportioning + layered gradient spraying, nano-rare earth thickening transition layer, closed-loop tension control + synchronous gradient cooling, and full-process parameter linkage closed-loop control to form a four-layer integrated composite structure, ensuring no micro gaps between layers, enhancing adhesion, and improving thermal insulation performance and durability.
It achieves a 35% or more increase in the bonding strength between polyurethane and the steel pipe substrate, a 25% increase in thermal insulation and energy-saving efficiency, no water seepage between layers, and a pipe lifespan extended to more than 30 years. It also significantly improves production efficiency and finished product qualification rate, adapts to complex working conditions, and reduces production costs and environmental pollution.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of prefabricated direct-buried insulated pipe processing technology, and in particular to the processing technology of rigid polyurethane sprayed polyethylene wound prefabricated direct-buried insulated pipes. Background Technology
[0002] Pre-insulated direct-buried pipes are core components of urban centralized heating, industrial media transportation, and underground integrated pipe networks. Their structural integrity, insulation stability, and burial durability directly determine the energy consumption and service life of the pipeline network. With the upgrading of national standards GB / T34611-2017 and GB / T50538-2020, the industry has put forward stringent requirements for the interlayer composite strength, insulation uniformity, airtightness and waterproofness, and quality control level of large-scale production of insulation pipes.
[0003] The traditional "pipe-in-pipe" filling insulation process has been gradually phased out due to its poor overall molding and weak adaptability to large diameters. Currently, the industry mainstream adopts the polyurethane spraying and polyethylene winding integrated process. This process abandons the sleeve filling mode, can achieve continuous integrated molding, and has a wide range of pipe diameter adaptability. It has obvious advantages over the traditional process and has been widely used in the production of municipal and industrial insulation pipes.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that existing processes rely solely on the physical bonding of polyurethane insulation layers and polyethylene outer sheaths, lacking a transitional composite structure. Furthermore, each process lacks refined closed-loop control involving environmental linkage and pipe diameter adaptation. This leads to the formation of micro-gaps between layers and water vapor infiltration during the underground service of the insulated pipe, resulting in water absorption and powdering of the insulation layer, pipe corrosion, and a decline in insulation performance. Consequently, the pipeline network suffers from high long-term energy consumption and a significantly shortened service life, failing to meet the application requirements of high-standard, long-life pipeline network projects. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a processing technology for rigid polyurethane sprayed polyethylene wound prefabricated direct-buried insulated pipes.
