Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of welding devices, and in particular to a polyethylene pipe friction stir welding device. Background Art

[0002] Polyethylene pipes have a wide range of applications, from small-section yellow pipes for natural gas to 48-inch diameter thick-walled black pipes for industrial and urban pipelines. When extending polyethylene pipes, multiple polyethylene pipes need to be welded together through welding devices. Stir friction welding refers to the use of heat generated by the friction between the high-speed rotating welding tool and the workpiece to locally plasticize the welded material. When the welding tool moves forward along the welding interface, the plasticized material flows from the front of the welding tool to the rear under the action of the rotating friction force of the welding tool, and forms a dense solid phase weld under the extrusion of the welding tool. The temperature of the polyethylene pipe at the welding point is relatively high during stir friction welding. At this time, the welding part needs to be cooled in time by a water cooling mechanism to prevent the polyethylene pipe from changing its shape due to excessive temperature.

[0003] When some existing friction stir welding devices are used to weld pipes, a lot of debris is likely to be generated on the surface of the weld, and some of the debris is attached to the surface of the pipe, which easily affects the smoothness of the surface of the pipe. Utility Model Content
