[0003] However, the existing ductile iron pipes have the following problems: the ductile iron pipe sockets currently used in the industry are generally protected by rope sleeves such as non-woven fabrics. Due to the soft material, they are easy to adhere to the final finishing layer and will be deformed by pressure, affecting the quality of the final finishing layer. At the same time, the rope sleeves are often broken at the connection and are easy to fall from the ductile iron pipe sockets, which cannot protect the final finishing layer of the ductile iron pipe. In addition, the rope sleeves have strict requirements on product size and are not easy to install. Therefore, it does not meet the existing needs. In this regard, we propose a PP sleeve for the outer end of the ductile iron pipe socket. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] In order to solve the existing ductile iron pipe 2 socket protection is generally non-woven rope sleeve, due to the soft material, it is easy to stick to the final coating, and will be deformed, affecting the quality of the final coating, at the same time the rope sleeve connection often breaks, easy to fall from the ductile iron pipe 2 socket, can not play the role of protecting the ductile iron pipe 2 final coating, and the rope sleeve operation has strict requirements on product size, difficult to install technical problems, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , this embodiment provides the following technical solutions:

[0021] A PP sleeve is used at the outer end of a ductile iron pipe spigot, comprising a PP protective sleeve 1 and a ductile iron pipe 2. The PP protective sleeve 1 is made of polypropylene material. The PP protective sleeve 1 is a ring composed of flat polypropylene material. The inner diameter of the PP protective sleeve 1 is equal to the outer diameter of the spigot end of the ductile iron pipe 2. The PP protective sleeve 1 is arranged at the outer end of the spigot of the ductile iron pipe 2. The inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 is tightly connected to the outer surface of the ductile iron pipe 2. The PP protective sleeve 1 is used to protect the finishing layer on the outer surface of the ductile iron pipe 2. A notch 13 is opened in the middle of the PP protective sleeve 1. The notch 13 is used for installing the PP protective sleeve 1 at the outer end of the spigot of the ductile iron pipe 2.

[0022] The technical effect of the above content: the PP protective sleeve 1 is made of polypropylene material with certain mechanical strength to form a ring-shaped protective sleeve. The unique toughness of the polypropylene material can make the PP protective sleeve 1 firmly wrapped at the plug of the ductile iron pipe 2. The PP protective sleeve 1 has high mechanical strength, good toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which is convenient for workers to install by jacking. The installation can be completed by one person. Due to the high strength and good toughness of the PP protective sleeve 1, the PP protective sleeve 1 is not easily crushed by other ductile iron pipes 2 during use, and is not easy to adhere to the finishing. The PP protective sleeve 1 is layered on the PP protective sleeve 1, and the PP protective sleeve 1 has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, so that the service life of the PP protective sleeve 1 is long. The PP protective sleeve 1 ensures that the contact surfaces of the ductile iron pipe 2 and the ductile iron pipe 2 are protected by the PP protective sleeve 1 when they are stacked together. In this way, the ductile iron pipe 2 can have a better buffering effect when a collision occurs during transportation, which is helpful to protect the finishing layer on the surface of the ductile iron pipe 2. A notch 13 is opened in the middle of the PP protective sleeve 1 to facilitate the installation of the PP protective sleeve 1, thereby improving the adaptability of the size of the PP protective sleeve 1.

[0023] The outer surface of the PP protective sleeve 1 is evenly distributed with grooves 11 in the same direction as the axis of the PP protective sleeve 1. The grooves 11 are arranged in a wave shape. The grooves 11 can increase the friction force when the outer surface of the PP protective sleeve 1 contacts other ductile iron pipes 2.

[0024] The technical effect of the above content: the outer circumferential surface of the PP protective sleeve 1 in contact with other ductile iron pipes 2 is provided with a groove 11, the groove 11 increases the friction force when the outer circumferential surface of the PP protective sleeve 1 contacts with other ductile iron pipes 2, so that the PP protective sleeve 1 is not easy to fall off from the ductile iron pipe 2 during transportation.

[0025] The inner ring shape of the PP protective sleeve 1 is divided into two cases according to the specifications of the ductile iron pipe 2, namely:

[0026] The ductile iron pipe 2 is of DN100-350 specification, and the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 is in a smooth surface state;

[0027] The ductile iron pipe 2 is of specification DN400 and above, and the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 is configured as a tooth block 12 with a concave-convex shape.

[0028] Among them, the size of the PP protective sleeve 1 is designed according to the specifications of the ductile iron pipe 2, and the shape of the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 is also designed differently according to the specifications of the ductile iron pipe 2. The outer diameter sizes of different specifications of the ductile iron pipe 2 are shown in the following table:

[0029]

[0030] Table 1 (Unit: mm)

[0031] Technical effect of the above content: the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 can be set to different shapes according to the specifications of the ductile iron pipe 2. If the ductile iron pipe 2 is DN400 or above, the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 can be set to a concave-convex tooth block 12. The purpose of the concave-convex tooth block 12 is to increase the tensioning force of the PP protective sleeve 1. The structure of the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 adopts a special design, so that the PP protective sleeve 1 can be more closely attached to the ductile iron pipe 2.

[0032] The inner ring of the PP protective cover 1 is provided with an anti-skid layer 14, the outer surface of the anti-skid layer 14 is tightly connected to the inner ring of the PP protective cover 1, and the anti-skid layer 14 can be set to a corresponding shape according to the state of the inner ring of the PP protective cover 1, and the anti-skid layer 14 plays an anti-skid role.

[0033] The technical effect of the above content: the anti-skid layer 14 can be set to a corresponding shape according to the state of the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1. If the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 is in a smooth state, the anti-skid layer 14 is also set to a smooth state. If the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 is a concave-convex tooth block 12, the anti-skid layer 14 is also set to a concave-convex shape, so that the anti-skid layer 14 can better fit closely with the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1, and the anti-skid layer 14 can further make the PP protective sleeve 1 firmly wrapped at the plug of the ductile iron pipe 2, and the anti-skid layer 14 can increase the friction between the contact surface of the anti-skid layer 14 and the ductile iron pipe 2 to which it is attached, and further prevent the PP protective sleeve 1 from falling off from the ductile iron pipe 2.

[0034] Working principle: The PP protective sleeve 1 is firmly wrapped around the plug of the ductile iron pipe 2. The PP protective sleeve 1 can ensure that the contact surface of the ductile iron pipe 2 when stacked together is protected by the PP protective sleeve 1, which can produce a better buffering effect when the ductile iron pipe 2 collides during transportation, and is helpful to protect the finishing layer on the surface of the ductile iron pipe 2. The notch 13 opened in the middle of the PP protective sleeve 1 can facilitate the installation of the PP protective sleeve 1, thereby improving the adaptability of the size of the PP protective sleeve 1. The groove 11 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the PP protective sleeve 1 can increase the friction force when the outer peripheral surface of the PP protective sleeve 1 contacts with other ductile iron pipes 2, and prevent the PP protective sleeve 1 from falling off from the ductile iron pipe 2 during transportation. The anti-skid layer 14 arranged on the inner ring of the PP protective sleeve 1 can increase the friction force between the anti-skid layer 14 and the contact surface of the ductile iron pipe 2 to which it is attached, thereby further preventing the PP protective sleeve 1 from falling off from the ductile iron pipe 2.
