DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a wear-resistant polyethylene pipe includes a main body 1 made of polyethylene, and different grades of materials are selected according to actual needs. Different from the conventional pipe structure, the outer side of the main body 1 is circumferentially distributed with wear-resistant ribs 2 arranged in a central symmetrical manner. The wear-resistant ribs 2 are in a convex structure and extend axially or spirally along the main body 1. When the pipe body 1 contacts the external plane, the wear-resistant ribs 2 are in local contact and pressure-bearing. The top of the wear-resistant ribs 2 is coated with a wear-resistant ceramic coating 3 to improve its local wear resistance, and a radial support assembly 4 is arranged in the main body 1. Compared with conventional wear-resistant pipes, the main body 1 in the present application is partially coated with a wear-resistant ceramic coating 3 to reduce the processing cost while still maintaining good wear resistance. At the same time, the wear-resistant ribs 2 cooperate with the radial support assembly 4 to maintain the overall mechanical properties.

[0024] Specifically, an auxiliary tube body 5 extending axially is arranged on the inner side of the main tube body 1, and an isolation cavity 6 is left between the main tube body 1 and the auxiliary tube body 5 to form a sandwich structure. The radial support assembly 4 is arranged in the isolation cavity 6 to improve its radial support stability, and the isolation cavity 6 between them plays a buffering and protective role for the auxiliary tube body 5 on the inner side.

[0025] In depth, the radial support assembly 4 includes support ribs 41 connected between the main body 1 and the auxiliary body 5, and a cavity with a triangular cross section is left between the support ribs 41. The main body 1, the auxiliary body 5 and the support ribs 41 are integrally formed, which are usually formed by extrusion. The support ribs 41 are divided into a plurality of independent cavities, which are arranged in a central symmetric manner and are opposite to the wear-resistant ribs 2.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to improve the corrosion resistance of the polyethylene tube, a protective layer 51 made of polyvinyl chloride is provided inside the auxiliary tube 5, and the thickness of the protective layer 51 is 1.5-2.4 mm. The polyethylene selected for the main tube 1 can be modified to further improve its chemical stability.

[0027] Furthermore, the cross section of the wear-resistant rib 2 is triangular or wavy, the height of the wear-resistant rib 2 relative to the main body 1 is 2.0-3.5 mm, and the width of the middle part of the wear-resistant rib 2 is not less than 2.2 mm. By limiting the width and height specifications of the wear-resistant rib 2, it is ensured that it has good structural strength and sufficient deformation buffering capacity.

[0028] In addition, the wear-resistant ceramic coating 3 has a thickness of 0.4-0.7 mm, and a 0.5 mm wear-resistant ceramic coating 3 is usually selected. Compared with other wear-resistant layers, it has better affinity with the polyethylene main pipe 1 and is not easily peeled off by external impact.

[0029] At the same time, the main pipe body 1 is equipped with a transfer sleeve 7 to realize the one-by-one connection of multiple groups of pipe bodies. A limiting component is set between the transfer sleeve 7 and the wear-resistant rib 2 to realize circumferential limiting. A bite component is set between the transfer sleeve 7 and the inner side of the main pipe body 1 to realize axial locking.

[0030] It can be seen that the limiting assembly includes a limiting groove 71 arranged at the end of the adapter tube sleeve 7 and for the wear-resistant rib 2 to be inserted, and a sealant 72 is filled between the limiting groove 71 and the outer side of the main tube 1. The sealant 72 completely fills the gap between the wear-resistant rib 2 and the limiting groove 71, and part of the sealant 72 squeezes into the isolation cavity 6 to play a bonding role.

[0031] Obviously, the bite assembly does not need an external locking member, and includes a bite tube 73 disposed inside the adapter tube sleeve 7, the bite tube 73 is interference fit with the inside of the main tube body 1, and anti-skid particles 74 are distributed on the bite tube 73. The bite tube 73 is usually inserted into the auxiliary tube body 5, and the anti-skid particles 74 are pressed and embedded with the inner side of the anti-skid particles 74.

[0032] Preferably, the adapter sleeve 7 is any one or more combinations of a straight pipe, a curved pipe, and a multi-way pipe. Different adapter sleeves 7 are selected according to actual pipe connection requirements. A single adapter sleeve 7 may have multiple adapter interfaces.

[0033] To sum up, the principle of this embodiment is that wear-resistant ribs 2 are arranged on the outside of the main body 1, local contact friction is performed on the top of the wear-resistant ribs 2, and the contact parts are coated with wear-resistant ceramic coatings 3 for local reinforcement, which cooperate with the radial support assembly 4 to maintain the structural strength while reducing the use of wear-resistant ceramic coatings 3.

[0034] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0035] Although this article uses more terms such as main body 1, wear-resistant ribs 2, wear-resistant ceramic coating 3, radial support assembly 4, support ribs 41, auxiliary body 5, protective layer 51, isolation cavity 6, adapter sleeve 7, limit groove 71, sealant 72, bite tube 73, anti-skid particles 74, etc., it does not exclude the possibility of using other terms. These terms are used only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the utility model; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the utility model.
