Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a special polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production, and particularly to a special polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, polyurethane foam insulated pipe fittings and sealing heads are generally made of steel to ensure sufficient strength and control costs. Furthermore, due to limitations in previous pipe fitting cutting technology, only embedded axial sealing was possible, making it difficult to separate the sealing system from the insulated pipe fitting after production. Additionally, because steel and polyurethane have a certain degree of adhesion, the sealing system easily adheres to the polyurethane foam after foaming. Forcibly removing the sealing system can damage the foamed structure at the pipe end, resulting in defective products. The solution is to apply a release agent to the contact surface between the existing sealing system and the polyurethane. This technology has two main problems: firstly, the release agent is a highly flammable chemical, posing a significant safety hazard, and its high cost increases manufacturing costs; secondly, the existing steel sealing system easily attracts various contaminants, dust, and oil after long-term application of the release agent, causing contamination of the foamed pipe end and affecting the quality of the outer pipe.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, it is necessary to research and design a new type of injection polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production, so as to overcome the problems existing in the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The existing embedded axial sealing method is not conducive to separation from polyurethane insulated pipe fittings; at the same time, the steel sealing system adheres to the polyurethane, requiring the application of a release agent. Applying a release agent can lead to foam contamination at the pipe end, affecting critical quality. Furthermore, the release agent is expensive and flammable. Therefore, this invention provides a special polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production. This utility model mainly uses a sealing head composed of a high-density polyethylene-supported sealing section and a steel flat sealing end to form a complete sealing head, sealing the end of the insulated pipe. The non-adhesive property of polyethylene and polyurethane foam solves the problem of adhesion between the steel head and polyurethane, thus eliminating the need for a release agent and avoiding various adverse consequences associated with its application.
[0005] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0006] A special polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production has a split structure, including: a sealing head section and a flat sealing section;
[0007] Furthermore, the sealing section of the end cap is a ring-shaped structure with a certain thickness made of high-density polyethylene;
[0008] Furthermore, the planar sealing section is an annular plate structure made of metal with a certain hardness;
[0009] Furthermore, the head sealing section and the plane sealing section are connected by screws;
[0010] Furthermore, the end cap sealing section is placed between the steel pipe and the outer protective pipe, while the flat sealing section seals the outside of the steel pipe and the end of the outer protective pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the sealing section of the end cap is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the steel pipe, and it is in close contact with the steel pipe as much as possible to prevent foam from overflowing between the two.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the sealing section of the end cap is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the outer protective tube, and it is machined into an arc-shaped surface to facilitate the insertion of the front end of the sealing section of the end cap between the steel pipe and the outer protective tube.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the planar sealing section is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the steel pipe, and it is in close contact with the steel pipe as much as possible to prevent foam from overflowing between the two.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the planar sealing section is larger than the outer diameter of the outer protective tube, and the end of the outer protective tube is sealed to prevent foam overflow.
[0015] Furthermore, two disassembly plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the planar sealing section for the operator to install / remove the sealing head.
[0016] Furthermore, the planar sealing section is equipped with lifting lugs for lifting the sealing head using lifting equipment.
[0017] Furthermore, the lifting lugs are installed at the top of the flat sealing section and are equidistant from the two disassembly plates, so that the operator can support the sealing head with both hands during hoisting.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0019] 1. The polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production provided by this utility model can better adapt to on-site production needs and achieve a longer service life by changing the sealing structure and adding a disassembly plate structure.
[0020] 2. The special polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production provided by this utility model, by changing the sealing structure and adding a disassembly plate structure, makes it easy for operators to load and unload.
[0021] 3. The special polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production provided by this utility model utilizes the self-cleaning and self-lubricating characteristics of high-density polyethylene material, which has a large molecular weight and small molecular gaps, thereby forming a natural molecular isolation with polyurethane, making it less prone to sticking.
[0022] 4. The polyurethane foam sealing head for pipe fitting production provided by this utility model has a density of high-density polyethylene that is much lower than that of steel. Therefore, even with the same volume and the addition of end face sealing plates, its actual weight is still much less than that of an all-steel sealing system. This makes the system more adaptable to the production needs of large-diameter polyurethane foam insulated pipe fittings.
[0023] In summary, the technical solution of this utility model solves the problems of existing embedded axial sealing forms being unfavorable for separation from polyurethane insulated pipe fittings; at the same time, the steel sealing system adheres to the polyurethane, requiring the application of a release agent, which can lead to foaming and contamination at the pipe end, affecting key quality; and the release agent is also expensive and flammable.
