[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0025] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, a reinforced PE pipe, specifically a rupture-resistant reinforced PE pipe, is described. PE pipe is also known as polyethylene pipe. This reinforced PE pipe includes an inner PE layer 2 and an outer PE structural layer 6, with the inner PE layer 2 located within the outer PE structural layer 6. The inner wall of the inner PE layer 2 is characterized by a corrosion-resistant layer 1, and the outer wall of the inner PE layer 2 is sequentially connected to a first skeleton layer 3 and a second skeleton layer 4. The outer wall of the first skeleton layer 3 and the inner wall of the second skeleton layer 4 are respectively connected to a first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and a second elastic buffer protrusion 8. Both the first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 are structures used for support, connection, and buffering, effectively enhancing the pressure resistance of the PE pipe. The inner wall of the outer PE structural layer 6 is provided with an anti-ultraviolet structural layer 5, which is immediately connected to the second skeleton layer 4.

[0026] This reinforced PE pipe combines a corrosion-resistant layer 1, an inner PE layer 2, a first reinforcing layer 3, a second reinforcing layer 4, an outer PE structural layer 6, and an anti-UV structural layer 5. The inner PE layer 2 is additionally equipped with an anti-corrosion layer, effectively mitigating corrosion problems that may occur due to long-term contact with various chemicals, significantly extending the pipe's service life. Simultaneously, addressing the issue of high fluid pressure easily damaging the pipe wall, the first reinforcing layer 3 and the second reinforcing layer 4 significantly improve tensile strength and overall strength. In particular, the opposite sides of the first and second reinforcing layers 3 and 4 are respectively equipped with a first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and a second elastic buffer protrusion 8. These elastic buffer protrusions act like "buffer airbags" inside the pipe, rapidly compressing under high pressure to effectively alleviate the compressive stress on the outer wall, thus protecting the pipe from damage. Even in the event of accidental collisions, these elastic buffer protrusions provide excellent energy absorption and cushioning, ensuring the integrity of the pipe structure and preventing pipe rupture accidents. Furthermore, to address the performance degradation of PE pipes after sun exposure, an anti-UV layer is added to improve thermal performance.

[0027] In this embodiment, the corrosion-resistant layer 1 provided inside the PE inner layer 2 is made of polyvinylidene fluoride or epoxy resin. It is added to the inside of the PE inner layer 2 using coating technology. These coatings have excellent corrosion resistance and can effectively protect the inside of the pipe from chemical corrosion.

[0028] Both the first skeleton layer 3 and the second skeleton layer 4 are structural layers with glass fiber as the skeleton. A cavity is formed between the first skeleton layer 3 and the second skeleton layer 4. A first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and a second elastic buffer protrusion 8 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the first skeleton layer 3 and the second skeleton layer 4. The first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 are both semi-cylindrical or rectangular prisms, with a simple structure and convenient design and production. Of course, other shapes of protrusions are also possible, as long as they can achieve the function of buffering and resisting pressure. For example, the first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 are preferably trapezoidal prisms, with the area of ​​the bottom surface of the first elastic buffer trapezoidal prism connected to the first skeleton layer 3 being larger than the area of ​​the opposite top surface. The first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 are staggered, with the area of ​​the bottom surface of the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 connected to the second skeleton layer 4 being larger than the area of ​​the opposite top surface. The first elastic buffer protrusion 7 has a first deformation groove, and the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 has a second deformation groove. By setting the first deformation groove and the second deformation groove, deformation cavities are formed in the first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and the second elastic buffer protrusion 8, which helps to accelerate the deformation of both, thereby achieving a good buffering effect. When encountering strong pressure, it can be quickly compressed, effectively relieving the squeezing pressure on the outer wall, thus protecting the pipeline from damage.

[0029] An anti-UV structural layer 5 is provided on the inner side of the PE outer structural layer 6, and the anti-UV structural layer 5 is tightly connected to the second skeleton layer 4. The anti-UV structural layer 5 is a structural layer with high-density polyethylene material as the base skeleton, and several black masterbatches and several anti-UV particles filled in the base skeleton, which has a good sun protection effect. The PE outer structural layer 6 is a structural layer made of glass fiber or carbon fiber and PE material. These reinforcing materials can improve the strength and stiffness of the PE outer structural layer 6, making it more resistant to impact and scratches.

[0030] If the liquid inside the PE pipe contains chemicals, prolonged contact will corrode the inner wall of the PE pipe, leading to rupture and leakage of the chemical-containing liquid. Therefore, the PE pipe inner layer 2 provided by this invention has an anti-corrosion layer, which can effectively slow down the corrosion of the PE pipe by the chemicals in the discharged liquid. When the liquid pressure inside the PE pipe is too high, it will squeeze the pipe wall. Prolonged squeezing will also damage the pipe wall, easily leading to rupture and leakage. Based on the fluid flow and the stress on the pipe, the reinforced PE pipe provided by this invention provides a double-layer skeleton layer made of glass fiber, significantly improving the tensile strength and overall strength of the PE pipe. Meanwhile, a first elastic buffer protrusion 7 and a second elastic buffer protrusion 8 are respectively connected to the opposite side of the first skeleton layer 3 and the second skeleton layer 4. When a sudden strong pressure occurs in the liquid flow inside the PE pipe, squeezing the inner wall of the PE pipe, the inner wall is compressed, causing the first elastic buffer protrusion 7 to compress. The compression of the first elastic buffer protrusion 7 reduces the squeezing force on the inner wall of the PE pipe. When the squeezing force disappears, the first elastic buffer protrusion 7 quickly rebounds and maintains its original shape. When an external object collides with the PE pipe, the strong impact force acts on the outer layer of the PE pipe and the second skeleton layer 4, compressing the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 on the second skeleton layer 4. The compression of the second elastic buffer protrusion 8 reduces the squeezing force on the outer wall of the PE pipe, thus protecting the entire PE pipe to a certain extent and preventing pipe rupture. Furthermore, since many PE pipes are exposed to the sun before or after use in daily life, the performance of PE pipes in high-temperature environments may be affected, leading to a reduction in their strength and durability. Therefore, the PE pipe of this utility model also provides an anti-ultraviolet layer, improving the thermal performance of the PE pipe.

[0031] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are protected by this utility model.
