The plurality of thermal insulation cores 200 correspond to the plurality of cavities and are filled in the corresponding cavities. The composite material layer 300 is wound on the outer wall of the thermal insulation support layer 100. The thermal insulation pipe of the present application fills the plurality of thermal insulation cores 200 in the plurality of cavities of the thermal insulation support layer 100, which can not only reduce the heat loss of the medium and improve the thermal insulation effect, but also realize the combination of structural strength and thermal insulation function, reduce the weight of the thermal insulation pipe, and facilitate transportation. At the same time, it can ensure that the thermal insulation core 200 is not affected by the environment, and the thermal insulation material remains effective for a long time, thereby improving the life and thermal insulation effect of the thermal insulation core 200. In addition, the outer composite material layer 300 can effectively resist the erosion of various acid, alkali and salt harsh environments and the impact of external forces, greatly improving the durability of the pipe fittings.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 3In this application, the size of the insulation pipe is adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the inner diameter of the insulation pipe is 50 mm to 180 mm, such as 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm or 180 mm. In one embodiment, the insulation support layer 100 includes a first wall body 110, a second wall body 120 and a grid-like support layer 130 disposed between the first wall body 110 and the second wall body 120. In this application, there is no restriction on the shapes of the first wall body 110, the second wall body 120 and the grid-like support layer 130, for example, they can be cubes, cylinders, cones, etc. The shapes of the first wall body 110, the second wall body 120 and the grid-like support layer 130 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the first wall 110, the second wall 120 and the grid-like support layer 130 are all cylindrical, and the first wall 110, the second wall 120 and the grid-like support layer 130 are all annular cross-sections and are coaxially arranged. The first wall 110, the second wall 120 and the grid-like support layer 130 extend along the axial direction of the thermal insulation pipe. The thickness of the grid-like support layer 130 is adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the thickness of the grid-like support layer 130 is 25 to 50 mm, such as 25 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm or 50 mm. The thickness of the first wall 110 and the second wall 120 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the thickness of the first wall 110 and the second wall 120 is the same. In the present application, the volume density of the grid-like support layer 130 is 15% to 25%, such as 15%, 20% or 25%. Furthermore, in order to reduce the flow resistance of the medium in the insulation pipe, the inner wall of the second wall 120 is smoothed, for example, the inner wall of the second wall 120 is chemically vaporized and polished to form a smooth and dense layer on the side of the second wall 120 that contacts the medium.
[0026] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the first wall body 110, the second wall body 120 and the grid-shaped support layer 130 are integrally formed, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural strength of the thermal insulation pipe. The preparation method of the thermal insulation support layer 100 is not limited here. For example, the thermal insulation support layer 100 can be manufactured by an integrated molding process of a 3D printing process or a pultrusion process. 3D printing converts a digital model into a physical object by adding materials layer by layer. The pultrusion process combines glass fiber or other reinforcing materials with a resin matrix through continuous impregnation, preforming, extrusion molding, curing, pulling and cutting steps to produce a lightweight, high-strength and smooth-surfaced composite material product. Both the 3D printing process and the pultrusion process can ensure the dimensional accuracy, mechanical properties and surface quality of the product.

In this embodiment, the radial cross-sections of the grid unit 131 and the cavity along the insulation pipe are both triangular, which is beneficial to enhancing the structural strength and rigidity of the grid unit 131, and can well withstand and disperse pressure, and can better resist deformation by external forces. In the present application, the wall thickness of the grid unit 131 is adaptively adjusted according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the wall thickness of the grid unit 131 is 1.2 mm to 1.5 mm, for example, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm or 1.5 mm.

Exemplarily, the foam material is placed in a cavity, and foamed under appropriate conditions to fill the entire cavity to form the insulation core 200. In this embodiment, the material of the insulation core 200 is a modified polyurethane material. The polyurethane material has a low density, good thermal insulation effect, a large modulus, and a good filling and supporting effect, which can enhance the structural rigidity of the insulation pipe. The modified polyurethane material can be obtained by commercial means, and the foaming process can refer to the prior art, which will not be described here. In other embodiments, the material of the insulation core 200 can also be any other material that can be foamed and has good thermal insulation performance.

In the present application, there is no restriction on the material of the composite material layer 300, as long as it can meet the requirements of corrosion protection, enhanced structural strength and thermal insulation. Exemplarily, the composite material layer 300 includes a matrix material and a composite material, the matrix material can be epoxy resin or epoxy vinyl resin, and the reinforcing material is glass fiber alkali-free lattice cloth. In the present application, the thickness of the composite material layer 300 is adaptively adjusted according to the diameter of the thermal insulation pipe.
