AI Technical Summary
Existing gas hoses are prone to leakage during installation due to twisting of the inner rubber layer and gaps between the layers. Furthermore, manufacturing tolerances can cause bushing displacement, making it difficult to meet airtightness requirements.
The joint is formed in the sealing area of the hose body by injection molding. The front rubber head is fused and fixed to the inner rubber tube, and the rear rubber head is fused and fixed to the coating layer. This combination of the inner rubber tube and the coating layer prevents air leakage between layers and twisting of the inner rubber tube.
It achieves high sealing performance, prevents the inner hose from shrinking and twisting, ensures airtightness and connection strength, and solves the problems of leakage and bushing displacement.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to gas appliance technical field especially relates to a high sealing property hose. BACKGROUND
[0002] The gas pipe is a common gas appliance, which usually has a single-layer structure and a multi-layer structure. With the improvement of people's safety awareness, the gas pipe is usually a multi-layer metal clad pipe. The pipe body of the metal clad pipe has a three-layer structure, which includes an inner rubber tube formed by an extrusion process, a cladding layer formed by a weaving process, and a coating layer also formed by an extrusion process. The three layers are separated from each other and have gaps due to different processes, different materials, and different processing times. Therefore, the three points mentioned above are directly related to the feature of the pipe body, which is to overcome the separation of the pipe body, to ensure that the inner tube does not retract, the joint does not fall off, the inner rubber tube is not exposed, and the gas tightness is guaranteed.
[0003] To meet the standards, various structural design methods have been proposed on the market,
[0004] The first design method is shown in Figure 1 , in which a stainless steel bushing 15 is inserted into the pipe body to a position greater than 25 mm, and then the rear half of the rubber sleeve is sleeved on the pressing sleeve 14. The rubber sleeve with the pressing sleeve is sleeved on one end of the pipe body, and is tightly sleeved. The pressing sleeve and the bushing are overlapped and are buckled. The design concept is to clamp the rubber sleeve and the pipe wall (the inner rubber tube 11, the cladding layer 12, and the coating layer 13) by the inner and outer steel sleeves, and to relatively rivet the rubber sleeve, the pipe wall (the inner rubber tube, the cladding layer, and the coating layer) by mechanical extrusion, to meet the requirements of the inner tube not retracting, the joint not falling off, the inner rubber tube not being exposed, and the gas tightness being guaranteed.
[0005] For this method, there are problems: 1) During installation, the inner rubber tube is rotated (twisted) together with the valve's green head due to operation problems, resulting in the hose not being able to pass gas; 2) The inner end surface of the rubber sleeve and the end surface of the hose are separated and have gaps, and the position where the inner and outer steel sleeves overlap and are buckled actually also has gaps. When the green head is inserted into the hose and fastened with a hose clamp, there is still a gap between the rubber sleeve and the coating layer. When the pressure and flow are large, gas may enter the interlayer between the coating layer and the inner rubber tube, causing the coating layer to swell and having a risk of leakage; 3) Due to the large tolerance of the extrusion-formed inner rubber tube during processing and the small size tolerance of the bushing, the bushing may occasionally shift during assembly, and sometimes it may not meet the condition of an insertion depth of 25 mm.
[0006] The second design method is shown in Figure 2As shown, the pipe body includes an inner tube 21, a cladding layer 22 and a covering layer 23, a rubber head 26 is added to one end of the pipe body, a bushing 25 is inserted into the port of the pipe body to a position greater than 25mm, then a reserved pressing sleeve 24 is sleeved at the predetermined position (coinciding with the bushing 25), and finally buckling is performed.

[0013] Figure 3 As shown in the utility model technical scheme. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] As Figure 3As shown, a high sealing soft tube includes a soft tube body and a joint, the soft tube body is a multi-layer structure, the innermost layer of the soft tube body is an inner rubber tube 31, an outer layer 32 is arranged outside the inner rubber tube, the end of the soft tube body is a sealing area 36, the length of the sealing area is 1.5-2.5 cm, preferably 2.0 cm; the sealing area 36 is composed of a single layer of the inner rubber tube 31, that is, no outer layer is arranged outside the inner rubber tube at the position of the sealing area, so that the inner rubber tube is directly exposed. The sealing area needs to have a certain length space to ensure that the front rubber head 351 and the inner rubber tube 31 have sufficient contact space in this area, and the preferred interval is 1.5-2.5 cm, and the contact space of both is not enough below 1.5 cm, which affects the connection strength, and the single-layer inner rubber tube 31 area is too long above 2.5 cm, which affects the strength of the soft tube body.
[0015] The outer layer 32 here can be a woven layer or a metal layer.
[0016] The joint 35 includes a front rubber head 351 and a rear rubber head 352, the front rubber head 351 is sleeved on the inner rubber tube 31, the front rubber head 351 is in direct contact with the inner rubber tube 31 to form a sealing sleeve, and the rear rubber head 352 is sleeved on the soft tube body and in contact with the outermost layer of the soft tube body.
[0017] In the embodiment, a covering layer 33 is further arranged outside the outer layer 32 of the soft tube body, and the rear rubber head 352 is sleeved outside the covering layer 33. In the utility model, the soft tube body is a three-layer structure, wherein the inner rubber tube 31 is the main layer for gas transmission; the outer layer 32 plays a protective role, such as a stainless steel woven mesh sleeve; and the covering layer 33 is generally a plastic sheath.
