[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a weather-resistant metal-coated flexible hose for connecting gas appliances, including a rubber outer tube 1, a weather-resistant layer 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rubber outer tube 1, a metal-coated layer 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the weather-resistant layer 2, and a rubber inner tube 4 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metal-coated layer 3.

[0025] refer to Figure 3 The polyurethane layer 21 is made of polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer, and the thickness of the polyurethane layer 21 is 0.5 cm.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a polyurethane layer 21 of polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer material, the anti-aging performance of the polyurethane layer 21 can be increased, making the polyurethane layer 21 less prone to aging and damage.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 The fluororubber layer 22 is made of fluoroether rubber, and the thickness of the fluororubber layer 22 is the same as the thickness of the polyurethane layer 21.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a fluororubber layer 22 of fluoroether rubber material, liquid can be blocked, preventing external liquid from penetrating into the metal coating layer 3.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 The polyethylene insulation layer 23 is made of polystyrene, and the cross-sectional shape of the polyethylene insulation layer 23 is circular.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a polyethylene insulation layer 23 made of polystyrene, the insulation performance of the polyethylene insulation layer 23 can be increased, and the internal temperature can be prevented from escaping to the outside.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 The rubber and plastic sponge layer 24 is a closed-cell rubber and plastic sponge, and the rubber and plastic sponge layer 24 is fixedly connected to the metal covering layer 3 by adhesive.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a closed-cell rubber-plastic sponge layer 24, the thermal insulation performance of the rubber inner tube 4 can be increased, and the rubber inner tube 4 can be prevented from being damaged due to temperature changes.

[0033] refer to Figure 4 The inner wall of the rubber inner tube 4 is fixedly connected with an anti-corrosion layer 5, which is made of plastic film.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the anti-corrosion layer 5, the anti-corrosion performance of the rubber inner tube 4 can be increased, and the rubber can be prevented from being corroded and damaged.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using a metal-coated flexible hose to transport gas in rainy weather, the outer rubber tube 1 first blocks rainwater, preventing it from contacting the polyurethane layer 21. When the outer rubber tube 1 is damaged, the polyurethane layer 21 blocks rainwater, preventing it from contacting the fluororubber layer 22. When the polyurethane layer 21 is damaged, the fluororubber layer 22 blocks rainwater. This prevents rainwater from penetrating into the metal-coated flexible hose. When using the metal-coated flexible hose to transport gas in cold or hot environments, the polyurethane layer 21 first blocks the external... The fluororubber layer 22 is insulated from the external temperature to prevent it from being affected by the external temperature. When the polyurethane layer 21 is damaged, the fluororubber layer 22 is used to insulate against the external temperature, preventing the polyethylene insulation layer 23 from being affected by the external temperature. When the fluororubber layer 22 is damaged, the polyethylene insulation layer 23 is used to insulate against the external temperature, preventing the rubber and plastic sponge layer 24 from being affected by the external temperature. When the polyethylene insulation layer 23 is damaged, the rubber and plastic sponge layer 24 is used to insulate against the external temperature. At this time, the metal-coated hose can be prevented from being affected by the external temperature, thereby achieving a good weather resistance effect.

[0038] In summary, this weather-resistant metal-coated flexible gas appliance connection solves the problems of poor weather resistance of metal-coated flexible hoses. It is achieved by incorporating a rubber outer tube 1, a weather-resistant layer 2, a metal coating layer 3, a rubber inner tube 4, a polyurethane layer 21, a fluororubber layer 22, a polyethylene insulation layer 23, a rubber-plastic sponge layer 24, and an anti-corrosion layer 4. Current metal-coated flexible hoses have simple structures and are easily affected by climate changes, leading to damage and gas leaks.
