[0034] Implementation Method 1
[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment, as an optional embodiment of the present application, discloses a pipe connection device, including a first joint 1 and a second joint 2, wherein one end of the first joint 1 is integrally connected to a plug-in tube 3, and the other end of the first joint 1 is provided with a plug-in joint 4;
[0036] One end of the second connector 2 is also integrally connected to a plug-in tube 3, and the other end of the second connector is provided with a plug-in hole 5;
[0037] The shape of the plug connector 4 matches the shape of the inner wall of the plug hole 5 to ensure the sealing of the connection area; during installation, the plug connector 4 is inserted into the plug hole 5 to achieve a stable connection between the first connector 1 and the second connector 2;
[0038] It should also be pointed out that the minimum inner diameter of the plug hole 5 is larger than the inner diameter of the plug tube 3, so as to form a step surface 6 perpendicular to the axial direction of the second joint 2 in the transition area between the plug hole 5 and the plug tube 3. During installation, the end face of the plug connector 4 and the step surface 6 abut against each other along the axial direction of the second structure. On the one hand, it can accurately limit the depth of the first joint 1 inserted into the plug hole 5, thereby realizing fast and accurate docking installation; on the other hand, since the step surface 6 is arranged along the radial direction of the second joint 2, it can extend the length of the splicing area between the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 while ensuring that the inner walls of the plug tubes 3 of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 are flush, thereby avoiding obstruction to the fluid.
[0039] A first thrust surface 10 with a conical structure is further provided at the bottom of the plug hole 5, and a second thrust surface 11 is provided on the plug connector 4. The first thrust surface 10 and the second thrust surface 11 have the same taper. After installation, the first thrust surface 10 and the second thrust surface 11 are completely in contact with each other.
[0040] A mounting groove 9 is further provided on the second thrust surface 11. A sealing assembly is further provided between the second thrust surface 11 and the first thrust surface 10. The sealing assembly includes a sealing ring 8 using a rubber support, and the sealing ring 8 is embedded in the mounting groove 9. It should be noted that there can be 1 to 3 mounting grooves 9, and the mounting grooves 9 are arranged sequentially along the axis of the plug connector 4.
[0041] After the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are completely installed, the cross section of the plug connector 4 abuts against the limit surface, and the first thrust surface 10 and the second thrust surface 11 are completely fitted together. The sealing ring 8 will be compressed and deformed, completely filling the entire installation groove 9, and the upper part of the sealing ring 8 will be tightly fitted with the first thrust surface 10;
[0042] On the one hand, the above structure makes the contour line of the splicing area of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 more tortuous, which is conducive to improving the sealing performance; on the other hand, after the first thrust surface 10 and the second thrust surface 11 set in the conical structure are installed, the first thrust surface 10 will apply an extrusion force perpendicular to the second thrust surface 11 to the sealing ring, and the separation of the above extrusion force in the radial and axial directions will compress the sealing ring 8 to deform, thereby better sealing the gap between the first joint 1 and the second joint 2; at the same time, the thrust surface set in the conical structure will cause the installation groove 9 to be located inside the outer surface of the plug joint 4, thereby avoiding the sealing ring from interfering with the plug-in installation of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of installing the first joint 1 and the second joint 2.
[0043] A limit stop ring 13 is integrally connected to one end of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 where they are plugged into each other. The outer diameter of the two limit stop rings 13 is the same as the outer diameter of the external pipe, and the end faces of the two limit stop rings 13 facing each other abut against each other.
[0044] The setting of the limit ring 13 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can further optimize the contour curve of the splicing area of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2, thereby improving the sealing of the connection area between the first joint 1 and the second joint 2.
[0045] The pipe connection device further includes a hot melt assembly, which includes a plurality of heating wires 7. Along the axial direction of the plug-in tube 3, each of the heating wires 7 is sequentially embedded in the plug-in tube 3.
[0046] At the same time, a heating wire 7 is also embedded on the end surface of the plug connector 4 that abuts against the limit surface and on the outer peripheral surface of the plug connector 4, and the distance between the heating wire 7 and the sealing ring 8 is 1-2 cm;
[0047] A heating wire 7 is embedded on the end faces of the two limit rings 13 that are away from each other;
[0048] It should be noted that the heating wire 7 is a metal wire, preferably made of iron wire;
[0049] Furthermore, the hot melt assembly may not be made of metal wire, but may be made of metal powder such as iron powder mixed with the pipe and then arranged in a designated area.
[0050] On the one hand, the heating wire 7 can improve the structural strength of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2; on the other hand, when it is placed in an AC electric field, it will be heated by eddy currents, thereby achieving a hot melt connection, thereby increasing the connection strength as much as possible and avoiding water seepage in the joint.
[0051] A conical guide surface 12 is provided at the free end of the plug-in pipe 3. After installation, the large end of the guide surface 12 is completely in contact with the inner wall of the external pipe.
[0052] Since the plug-in tube 3 of the present application will be inserted into an external pipe, and the pipe wall of the plug-in tube 3 has a certain thickness, the setting of the above-mentioned guide surface 12 can form a conical transition surface between the inner wall of the external pipe and the inner wall of the plug-in tube 3, which can make the liquid flow smoother on the one hand and avoid violent collision between the liquid and the end face of the plug-in tube 3 on the other hand.
[0053] When the connection device described in the present application is used, the two interconnected pipe sections are plugged and connected to the plug-in tubes 3 of the first joint 1 and the second joint 2, respectively, that is, the two plug-in tubes 3 are respectively inserted into the two external pipes; then the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 are plugged and connected. After the connection is completed, the entire connection device is placed in an alternating electric field. The alternating electric field will cause the hot melt component to heat up, thereby heating the first joint 1 and the second joint 2 through the hot melt component, thereby achieving a hot melt connection;
[0054] Compared with existing technologies, the hot melt assembly can achieve rapid hot melt connection in the plug-in area, which is beneficial to improving the connection efficiency of the pipes. At the same time, compared with traditional adhesive bonding, hot melt connection achieves the melting and mixing of the pipe and the connection device materials, which maximizes the connection strength between the connection device and the external pipe, and helps prevent water seepage in the joints.
[0055] Secondly, the sealing component and the hot melt component can achieve a sealed connection between the connection area of the first joint and the second joint, thereby ensuring the airtightness of the connection device and avoiding leakage of the connection device.
[0056] Finally, in the technical solution described in the present application, the plug-in tube is inserted into the external pipe, so the end parts of the external pipe that are most prone to leakage and stratification will face each other or the pipe connecting device, that is, the end of the external pipe is separated from the water flow through the above-mentioned connection method, blocking the contact between the water flow and the end area from the source, thereby avoiding fluid infiltration, stratification and other phenomena in the pipe, and extending the service life of the pipe.
[0057] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
