After the steel pipes of the two jacket pipes are welded together, the connecting sleeve is moved to the middle of the two jacket pipes. There are heating wires installed inside both ends of the connecting sleeve in advance. By energizing the heating wires, the two ends of the connecting sleeve and the ends of the two jacket pipes that are close to each other are heat-fused to realize the connection between the connecting sleeve and the two jacket pipes. Then, foam material is filled inside the connecting sleeve as an insulation layer structure.
