Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipelines, in particular to a firmly connected aluminum-plastic pipe. Background Art
[0002] Aluminum-plastic pipe is a new type of pipe made of a middle layer of longitudinally welded aluminum pipe, inner and outer layers of polyethylene plastic, and hot melt adhesive between layers. Polyethylene is a non-toxic, odorless plastic with good impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and weather resistance; the middle layer of longitudinally welded aluminum pipe gives the aluminum-plastic pipe the compressive strength and impact resistance of metal, making it easy to bend without rebounding. Aluminum-plastic pipe has two major characteristics: the strong pressure resistance of metal pipes and the acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance of plastic pipes. Due to its light weight, durability, convenient construction, and bendability, it is more suitable for use in home decoration.
[0003] Sometimes the laying length of the aluminum-plastic pipe is long. At this time, the length of a single aluminum-plastic pipe is difficult to meet the laying requirements, and it is necessary to connect and lengthen the two aluminum-plastic pipes through a joint. When the two aluminum-plastic pipes are connected through a copper joint, the end of the aluminum-plastic pipe is usually put on the plug-in pipe part of the copper joint, and then the nut and a locking sleeve with a notch are installed on the aluminum-plastic pipe. When the nut is tightened on the joint for threaded connection, the locking sleeve is deformed and clamped on the surrounding side of the aluminum-plastic pipe to achieve connection and fixation.
[0004] However, after being connected through a conventional copper joint, the nut connection may become loose due to the influence of water pressure during long-term use, which will cause water leakage. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a firmly connected aluminum-plastic pipe, which has the function of improving the stability.
[0006] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions: a stable connection type aluminum-plastic pipe, comprising a first aluminum-plastic pipe body, a second aluminum-plastic pipe body, and a copper joint connected between the first aluminum-plastic pipe body and the second aluminum-plastic pipe body, the copper joint comprising a joint body with two plug-in pipe parts, two locking sleeves with notches, and two nuts, and a protrusion with a positioning hole is provided at one end of the two nuts that are close to each other; a protruding square part is provided on the circumferential side of the joint body, and through holes corresponding to the positioning holes of the two nuts are provided on both sides of the square part, and positioning shafts are telescopically provided at the two through holes, and an arc-shaped metal spring is provided between the ends of the two positioning shafts that are close to each other, and an adjustment structure for adjusting the deformation degree of the metal spring to control whether the positioning shaft passes through the through hole and is embedded in the positioning hole.
[0007] The utility model is further configured as follows: two metal spring sheets are arranged between the ends of the two positioning shafts that are close to each other, and the arc-shaped protrusions of the two metal spring sheets protrude in directions away from each other. The adjustment structure drives the two metal spring sheets to deform in directions close to each other to drive the positioning shaft to pass through the through hole and then be embedded in the positioning hole.
[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: the adjustment structure comprises two countersunk adjustment bolts which are threadedly connected to two sides of the square portion and whose ends respectively abut against the outside of the protruding parts of the two metal spring sheets.
[0009] The utility model is further configured as follows: a limiting groove is provided on one side of the two metal spring sheets which are away from each other, and one end of the countersunk adjusting bolt is embedded in the limiting groove.
[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: a protective cover covering the positioning shaft and the metal spring is arranged on the square portion, and the protective cover and the square portion are connected by screws.
[0011] In summary, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0012] 1. When the first aluminum-plastic pipe body and the second aluminum-plastic pipe body are connected through the copper joint, after the nut is threaded into place, the deformation degree of the metal spring is adjusted by the adjustment structure. The metal spring drives the two positioning shafts to pass through the through hole and then embed into the positioning hole, thereby limiting the two nuts along the axial direction to prevent the threaded connection of the nut from loosening and improve the stability of the connection;
[0013] 2. By setting two metal springs, and adjusting the structure to control the two metal springs to deform in a direction close to each other to drive the positioning shaft to pass through the through hole, the combination of the two metal springs can improve the stability of the two positioning shafts during extension and retraction;
[0014] 3. The adjustment structure includes two countersunk adjustment bolts which are threadedly connected to the two sides of the square part and whose ends respectively abut against the outer sides of the protruding parts of the two metal springs, so that the metal springs can be deformed in the process of the countersunk adjustment bolts gradually abutting against the metal springs; at the same time, a limiting groove is provided on the side where the two metal springs are away from each other, and one end of the countersunk adjustment bolt is embedded in the limiting groove to ensure that the countersunk adjustment bolt applies force to the middle part of the protruding part of the metal spring, which has the function of facilitating adjustment;
[0015] 4. A protective cover covering the positioning shaft and metal shrapnel is provided on the square part. The protective cover and the square part are connected by screws to ensure the coverage and protection of the positioning shaft and metal shrapnel, and also to ensure the aesthetics of the copper joint.
