[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a corrosion-resistant glass fiber reinforced plastic pipe with a sealing joint, including a glass fiber reinforced plastic pipe body, the glass fiber reinforced plastic pipe body is divided into a No. 1 pipe 1 and a No. 2 pipe 2, and the opposite surfaces of the No. 1 pipe 1 and the No. 2 pipe 2 are provided with a docking flange 4, the two docking flanges 4 are connected by bolts, and the interior of the docking flange 4 is provided with a sealing ring, a docking assembly 3, and the docking assembly 3 is used to improve the sealing of the connection between the No. 1 pipe 1 and the No. 2 pipe 2. The docking assembly 3 includes a No. 1 docking piece 301 sleeved on the outside of the connecting end of the No. 1 pipe 1 and a No. 2 docking piece 302 sleeved on the outside of the connecting end of the No. 2 pipe 2, the No. 2 docking piece 302 is provided with an annular docking sleeve 303 on the side facing the No. 1 docking piece 301, and the No. 1 docking piece 301 is opened on the side facing the No. 2 docking piece 302. There is a docking groove 3011 that is compatible with the docking sleeve 303, and a glue injection cavity 304 is opened inside the docking sleeve 303. A drainage groove 305 begins to be formed on the outer surface of the docking sleeve 303, and a glue injection hole 306 is opened inside the drainage groove 305. The drainage groove 305 is connected to the glue injection cavity 304 through the glue injection hole 306. The top of the No. 2 docking piece 302 is fixedly connected with a glue injection tube 3012, and the output end of the glue injection tube 3012 is located inside the docking groove 3011, and after the No. 2 docking piece 302 is spliced with the No. 1 docking piece 301, the output end of the glue injection tube 3012 is at the same level as the inside of the drainage groove 305, and the No. 1 docking piece 301 and the No. 2 docking piece 302 are located outside the docking flange 4. First, ensure that the docking end faces of the No. 1 pipeline 1 and the No. 2 pipeline 2 are flat, clean, and free of impurities and oil stains. The No. 1 docking piece 301 and the No. 2 docking piece 302 are respectively placed on the outside of the connecting ends of the No. 1 pipe 1 and the No. 2 pipe 2, ensuring that they fit tightly and are correctly positioned. The two docking flanges 4 are initially connected using bolts. At this point, the sealing ring inside the docking flange 4 will provide a certain sealing effect, but it has not yet reached the optimal state. Sealant is injected into the injection cavity 304 inside the docking sleeve 303 through the injection tube 3012 at the top of the No. 2 docking piece 302. The sealant enters the drainage groove 305 through the injection hole 306 and is distributed along the drainage groove 305, ensuring that the sealant can evenly fill the gap between the docking sleeve 303 and the docking groove 3011. As the sealant is injected, it will form a continuous sealing layer between the docking sleeve 303 and the docking groove 3011.After the sealant is completely cured, the connection between pipe No. 1 and pipe No. 2 will achieve extremely high sealing, effectively preventing leakage of the internal medium. After the sealant is cured, a final inspection and test is carried out to ensure that there is no leakage at the connection and that it complies with relevant engineering standards and requirements. By adding a docking component 3 and injecting sealant into it, a continuous sealing layer is formed, which significantly improves the sealing of the pipe connection and reduces the risk of leakage. The FRP pipe body itself has excellent corrosion resistance, and the addition of the docking component 3 does not weaken this performance. On the contrary, it further protects the inside of the pipe from corrosion by enhancing the sealing. When maintenance and repair are required, it is only necessary to re-inject the sealant through the injection pipe 3012 without disassembling the entire connection part, reducing maintenance costs and time. The design of the docking component 3 makes pipe No. 1 and pipe No. 2 more stable at the connection, improving the structural stability and safety of the entire pipeline system. This design can be widely used in various pipeline systems that require high sealing and corrosion resistance, such as chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other industries.
[0030] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the inner wall of the FRP pipe body is spray-coated with epoxy FRP coating, a coating made from a mixture of epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth. Epoxy FRP coating offers excellent corrosion resistance. It resists acids, alkalis, salts, seawater, untreated sewage, and a variety of chemical fluids. This property enables FRP pipes to maintain long-term stable operation in harsh operating environments, extending their service life. Epoxy FRP coating is not only corrosion-resistant but also has excellent wear resistance. During fluid transportation, the inner wall of the pipe may be subject to erosion and wear. Epoxy FRP coating effectively reduces this wear and tear, protecting the integrity of the pipe wall. Epoxy FRP coating can withstand high temperatures, which is particularly important for piping systems operating in high-temperature environments. It maintains stable performance within a certain temperature range and will not fail or deform due to high temperatures. Epoxy FRP coating strongly bonds to the inner wall of the FRP pipe, forming a durable coating. This coating not only effectively prevents direct contact between the medium and the inner wall of the pipe, but also provides support and protection when the pipe is subjected to external forces. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance, epoxy FRP coatings can significantly extend the maintenance cycle of FRP pipes. This reduces maintenance costs and improves the economic efficiency of the pipeline system. Epoxy FRP coatings do not produce any harmful substances during use, making them environmentally friendly. Furthermore, waste coatings can be properly disposed of in accordance with environmental protection requirements, without causing any pollution.
[0031] The working principle provided by the present invention is as follows: first, ensure that the butt joint end surfaces of pipe No. 1 and pipe No. 2 are flat, clean, and free of impurities and oil. The butt joint piece 301 and the butt joint piece 302 are respectively placed on the outside of the connection ends of pipe No. 1 and pipe No. 2, ensuring that they fit tightly and are positioned correctly. The two butt joint flanges 4 are preliminarily connected by bolts. At this time, the sealing ring inside the butt joint flange 4 will provide a certain sealing effect, but it has not yet reached the optimal state. The sealant is injected into the injection cavity 304 inside the butt joint sleeve 303 through the injection tube 3012 at the top of the butt joint piece 302. The sealant enters the drainage groove 305 through the injection hole 306 and is distributed along the drainage groove 305 to ensure that the sealant can be evenly filled in the gap between the butt joint sleeve 303 and the butt joint groove 3011. As the sealant is injected, it will form a continuous sealing layer between the butt joint sleeve 303 and the butt joint groove 3011. After the sealant is completely cured, the connection between pipe No. 1 and pipe No. 2 will achieve extremely high sealing, effectively preventing leakage of internal media. After the sealant is cured, a final inspection and test will be carried out to ensure that there is no leakage at the connection and that it meets relevant engineering standards and requirements.

Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.
[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
