Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric fusion pipe fittings, and more specifically, to a terminal protection electric fusion pipe fitting. Background Art
[0002] When the length of the pipe is not enough and multiple pipes need to be connected, electric fusion pipe fittings are usually used to connect multiple pipes into one pipeline through electric fusion connection. Electric fusion connection uses the resistance wire on the inner surface of the electric fusion pipe fitting to energize and heat it, so that the material on the inner surface of the pipe fitting and the outer surface of the socket pipe reaches the melting temperature. The expansion of the heated material generates welding pressure, and after molecular transfer, diffusion, entanglement, and cooling, it fuses into one, achieving the purpose of welding. Usually, the resistance wire is connected to the terminal block, and the resistance wire is energized and heated through the terminal block during welding. However, the exposed one-piece terminal block will inevitably cause collisions between pipes or collisions between pipes and other objects during transportation, which can easily cause the terminal to break, making construction welding impossible.
[0003] The prior art discloses a double-layer electric fusion pipe fitting in which the connection section of the terminal is located within a terminal accommodating slot, with the top of the connection section not extending beyond the outer surface of the outer tube. The terminal is designed to be lower than the outer wall of the outer tube. After the fitting is inserted onto the outer tube, the terminal accommodating slot can be sealed, protecting the terminal from corrosion and further preventing leakage at the terminal connection. However, the connection section of the terminal, which does not extend beyond the outer surface of the outer tube, makes it difficult to securely connect to the electric fusion welding machine, which can affect welding quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings that the power connection section of the terminal post whose top does not extend out of the outer surface of the outer tube is difficult to be firmly connected to the electric fusion welding machine, which easily affects the welding quality, and provide a terminal protection electric fusion pipe fitting that can protect the terminal and facilitates a firm connection with the electric fusion welding machine.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:

[0007] According to the above technical means, the utility model provides a terminal protection electric fusion pipe fitting. When connecting two pipes, the two pipes to be connected are respectively inserted from both ends of the prefabricated composite pipe, so that the outer wall of the inserted pipe abuts against the inner wall of the prefabricated composite pipe, the terminal is connected to the connection component, and an electric fusion welding machine is used to connect the terminal to the terminal for electrical connection. The resistance wire is energized through the terminal to allow the prefabricated composite pipe and the pipe to be heat-fused, and the two pipes to be connected are connected through the prefabricated composite pipe. By extending the terminal from the outer surface of the prefabricated composite pipe, it is possible to facilitate the electric fusion welding machine and the terminal assembly to be firmly connected. By arranging the connection component in the mounting through-hole, and the other end of the connection component being detachably connected to one end of the terminal, when heat fusion is not required, the terminal is removed, and the remaining connection component is located in the prefabricated composite pipe, so as to avoid the terminal assembly from being exposed and protect the terminal.
[0008] Furthermore, the prefabricated composite pipe includes, from the inside out, an inner layer, a reinforcement layer, and an outer layer, the inner layer, the reinforcement layer, and the outer layer being sequentially connected, and the resistance wire being wound around the inner side of the inner layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the reinforcement layer includes, from the inside out, a first reinforcement layer, an intermediate layer, and a second reinforcement layer, wherein the inner layer, the first reinforcement layer, the intermediate layer, the second reinforcement layer, and the outer layer are sequentially connected.

[0010] Furthermore, the first and second reinforcement layers each include hot melt adhesive and a steel mesh skeleton embedded within the hot melt adhesive. The hot melt adhesive connects the two sides of the middle layer to the inner layer and outer layer, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, the invention further comprises a circular sealing ring, which is arranged on the end face of the prefabricated composite pipe and is connected to the inner layer and the outer layer by heat-melting, thereby protecting the end face of the prefabricated composite pipe.

The connecting tube is detachably connected to the base, and the inner diameter of the connecting tube gradually decreases from the end proximal to the base to the end distal to the base. One end of the terminal is detachably connected to the base or the connecting tube. The resistance wire is passed through the threading space to connect the connecting tube to the base. During connection, the inner wall of the connecting tube drives the meniscuses toward the threading space, and the plurality of meniscuses abut against the resistance wire, thereby pressing the resistance wire and preventing the resistance wire from separating from the terminal assembly.
[0014] Furthermore, the connecting tube and the terminal are both threadedly connected to the base, and a cross groove is provided at one end of the connecting tube away from the base. The cross groove makes it easy to use a screwdriver to rotate the connecting tube, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the connecting tube.
