Usually, the traditional flexible composite pipe adopts a composite structure, which is composed of reinforced materials and extruded materials. Its main structure is more than three functional layer structures, among which the inner pipe layer is mainly used to manufacture the medium transport layer of the flexible composite pipe (commonly known as the inner pipe layer), the middle functional layer provides mechanical strength, and the outer protective layer provides the protection function of isolating the environment.

[0003] When the high molecular weight polyethylene material is heated and extruded into the inner tube layer, due to its flexible characteristics, it needs to be pulled to the wrapping area of ​​the coating layer with the help of external force. If this step is carried out by the extruder itself, it often gets stuck on the dredging line, which is inefficient and has a high error rate.

[0004] This patent discloses a flexible composite pipe expansion and traction device, which solves the traction problem of the medium transport layer (commonly known as the inner pipe layer) of the flexible composite pipe. The inner wall of the pipe is expanded by the clamping claws, and the outer wall of the pipe is protected from deformation due to internal expansion by a locking sleeve outside the pipe.

[0034] The beneficial effects to be expressed by this scheme are as follows: by providing a traction nut 1 on the load-bearing shaft 2, a steel wire rope can be externally connected. When in use, the outer tube locking sleeve 8 is first tightly installed on the end of the pipe that needs to be towed, and the expansion jaws 6 can be adjusted to expand outward by controlling the tightening member 3 to make it close to the inner wall of the composite pipe. At this time, due to the flexible characteristics of the flexible composite pipe, it is easy to deform, and the pre-installed outer tube locking sleeve 8 plays a good protective role. After the pipe is expanded, the steel wire rope can be passed through the traction nut 1 at the front end of the device to connect with the traction machine, and the traction operation can be carried out quickly, so that the device is small in size, simple in structure, easy to operate and install, convenient for traction operation of flexible pipes, not easy to damage the pipe body, and suitable for popularization and use.

[0035] Furthermore, the six expansion clamping jaws 6 are evenly distributed on the clamping platform 5 through six spacers 4, and the six spacers 4 are all made of hard solid resin material.

The circuit connection relationship of each device belongs to a simple series and parallel connection circuit. There is no innovation in the circuit connection. Those skilled in the art can easily implement it. It belongs to the existing technology and will not be elaborated.

[0045] Working principle: The outer tube locking sleeve 8 is first fixed to one end of the pipe to be pulled, and then the inner expansion device is installed inside the pipe through the nut locking device on it. The expansion clamp 6 is expanded outward by adjusting the clamp 3. At this time, due to the flexible characteristics of the flexible composite pipe, it is easy to deform, and the pre-installed outer tube locking sleeve 8 plays a good protective role. After the expansion device, the wire rope passes through the traction nut 1 at the front end of the device and is connected to the traction machine. The traction work is completed by setting the traction machine speed to match the extrusion speed of the pipe extruder;

[0046] When in use, first install the outer locking sleeve 8 on the end of the pipe that needs to be pulled, then place the pulling clamp in the pipe, and lock the device through the clamp 3 to make it close to the inner wall of the composite pipe. The pulling machine pulls the flexible composite pipe through the wire rope; after the composite pipe is pulled to a fixed position, the device is removed, and the pipe does not affect the continued work of the next process;

[0047] The locking device of the device has a locking nut at the upper end, which is fixed by the clamp 3 after the device is installed, which can effectively solve the problem of the device loosening due to the traction force during the traction process.

[0048] In the flexible composite pipe, the device evenly separates the six expansion jaws 6 through six spacers 4, so that the inner wall of the pipe will not be damaged due to stress concentration during the expansion process, thereby affecting the next step and causing waste of resources. The external outer pipe locking sleeve 8 also plays a certain protective role. In this way, no matter how the wall thickness of the produced pipe changes, the device can be applied. The clamp of the utility model has a simple structure, is easy to operate, saves costs, is highly practical, and has a strong value of use and promotion.
