[0031] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. For ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. Technologies, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, so once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] This embodiment provides a directly buried plastic-jacketed steel insulated pipeline, comprising:

[0034] Multiple inner tubes 1, two adjacent inner tubes 1 are connected to each other;

[0035] A plurality of outer tubes 2, wherein the outer tubes 2 are sleeved on the inner tube 1;

[0036] The insulation layer 3 is provided between the inner tube 1 and the outer tube 2;

[0037] The support ring assembly 4 is disposed between two adjacent inner tubes 1, and both ends of the support ring assembly 4 respectively contact the ends of the two adjacent outer tubes 2;

[0038] The joint assembly 5 is sleeved between two adjacent outer tubes 2, and the joint assembly 5 is also sleeved on the support ring assembly 4;

[0039] In which, the support ring assembly 4 includes a first semi-ring portion 41 and a second semi-ring portion 42, and the first semi-ring portion 41 and the second semi-ring portion 42 both include a first contact end and a second contact end, and the second contact end of the first semi-ring portion 41 is folded and connected to the second contact end of the second semi-ring portion 42 by a folding portion 6, and the first semi-ring portion 41 and the second semi-ring portion 42 are both provided with a plurality of hexagonal holes 7.

[0040] In this technical solution, the inner tube 1 can be a metal pipe, such as a steel pipe, which has strong load-bearing capacity and pressure resistance.

[0041] The outer tube 2 can be made of plastic material, for example, the outer tube 2 is made of high-density polyethylene material, which has excellent chemical corrosion resistance, can effectively resist the erosion of chemical substances in groundwater and soil, and improve the service life of the pipeline.

[0042] The heat-insulating layer 3 can be made of polyurethane foam material, which has a heat-insulating effect.

[0043] The outer tube 2 is sleeved on the inner tube 1 , and the lengths of the outer tube 2 and the insulation layer 3 are both shorter than the length of the inner tube 1 , so that both ends of the inner tube 1 extend out for installing the support ring assembly 4 .

[0044] The support ring assembly 4 can be made of plastic. The first semi-ring portion 41 and the second semi-ring portion 42 are connected by a folding portion 6, so that the support ring assembly 4 can be opened and closed at the connection. The folding portion 6 is integrally formed with the first semi-ring portion 41 and the second semi-ring portion 42.

[0045] When installing the support ring assembly 4 , the support ring assembly 4 can be opened to create an opening, and pass through the inner tube 1 for easy installation. Then the opening of the support ring assembly 4 can be closed and the joint assembly 5 can be installed.

[0046] The support ring assembly 4 improves the stability of the connection between adjacent inner tubes 1 and reduces the risk of fracture. Several hexagonal holes 7 are formed in both the first and second semi-annular portions 41, 42, helping to slow heat conduction and thereby provide a certain degree of insulation, thereby enhancing the thermal insulation of the insulated pipe. The presence of several hexagonal holes 7 also reduces the weight of the support ring assembly 4, helping to reduce installation load and transportation costs.

[0047] The joint assembly 5 can be made of plastic and can be welded to the outer tube 2 so that the support ring is fixed between the joint assembly 5 and the inner tube 1. The joint assembly 5 is used to further improve the stability of the connection between the pipes, while also ensuring the sealing between adjacent outer tubes 2 to prevent liquid from leaking into the insulation layer 3 and affecting the insulation effect.

[0048] Example 2:

[0049] This embodiment provides a direct-buried plastic-sheathed steel insulated pipeline, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0050] An opening groove 8 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the support ring assembly 4 , and the opening groove 8 is located outside the folded portion 6 .

[0051] In this technical solution, if Figure 5-7 As shown, when the support ring assembly 4 is in the expanded state, the two sides of the opening groove 8 interfere with each other, which can prevent the support ring assembly 4 from expanding at too large an angle, causing installation inconvenience and breaking of the folded portion 6.

[0052] Furthermore, an arcuate groove 9 is formed on the second contact end of the first semi-ring portion 41 and the second contact end of the second semi-ring portion 42 . The two arcuate grooves 9 are opposite to each other and are located on the inner side of the folded portion 6 .

[0053] In the present technical solution, the provision of the arc-shaped groove 9 can reduce the stress concentration of the folded portion 6 , thereby preventing the folded portion 6 from breaking and increasing the service life of the support ring assembly 4 .

[0054] Example 3:

[0055] This embodiment provides a direct-buried plastic-sheathed steel insulated pipeline, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0056] A first limiting protrusion 10 is provided on the outer circumferential wall at both ends of the inner tube 1 , and a first limiting ring groove 11 is provided on the inner circumferential wall of the support ring assembly 4 . The first limiting protrusion 10 is provided in the first limiting ring groove 11 .

[0057] In this technical solution, the first limiting protrusion 10 is arranged in the first limiting ring groove 11 to limit the support ring assembly 4, avoid axial movement and separation between the inner tubes 1, and further improve the stability of the connection between the inner tubes 1.

[0058] Furthermore, the inner circumferential wall of the joint assembly 5 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 12 , the outer circumferential wall of the support ring assembly 4 is provided with a second limiting ring groove 13 , and the second limiting protrusion 12 is arranged in the second limiting ring groove 13 .

[0059] In this technical solution, the second limiting protrusion ring 12 is arranged in the second limiting ring groove 13 to limit the joint assembly 5 and prevent the joint assembly 5 from axial movement.

[0060] The joint assembly 5 may include two semi-annular connecting parts, which may be connected to each other by arranging flanges. A sealing sheet or adhesive may be used between the flanges to seal the joint assembly 5.

[0061] Example 4:

[0062] This embodiment provides a direct-buried plastic-sheathed steel insulated pipeline, which, in addition to the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, also has the following technical features.

[0063] A limiting groove 14 is provided on the first contact end of the first semi-ring portion 41 and the second contact end of the second semi-ring portion 42 , and a limiting protrusion 15 is provided on the second contact end of the first semi-ring portion 41 and the first contact end of the second semi-ring portion 42 . The limiting protrusion 15 is provided in the limiting groove 14 .

[0064] In the present technical solution, by setting the limiting protrusion 15 in the limiting groove 14, slippage or misalignment between the two semi-annular structures can be avoided, thereby ensuring a more firm and stable connection. It can also prevent the support ring assembly 4 from loosening or displacement when subjected to force, and can also effectively improve the torsion resistance of the support ring assembly 4 under torque.

[0065] The embodiments of the present application are described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other.
