Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rural tap water supply, and in particular to the adapter joint between PE pipe and metal pipe in water supply network. Background Technology

[0002] In municipal water supply, agricultural irrigation, and industrial water transmission, polyethylene (PE) pipes have gradually replaced traditional metal pipes (such as steel and cast iron pipes) due to their advantages such as strong corrosion resistance, high flexibility, light weight, and long service life. However, in actual engineering projects, the connection between PE pipes and existing metal pipe networks or special pipe sections (such as valve and pump station interfaces) is still unavoidable. The reliability of the transition joints directly affects the sealing, durability, and operational safety of the pipe network system.

[0003] Due to thermal expansion and contraction during daily use, PE pipes and metal pipes are usually not directly connected. Instead, adapters are typically used. Therefore, there is a need for a reliable, sealed adapter that can connect PE pipes and metal water pipes to solve the key technical bottleneck in connecting dissimilar materials such as PE pipes and metal pipes, thereby improving the overall stability and economy of the water supply network system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned problems by providing a PE pipe and metal pipe adapter for water supply networks.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a PE pipe to metal pipe adapter for water supply networks is provided. The adapter comprises a PE pipe, a locking ring, a first locking ring, a second locking ring, and a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is threaded, and the inner wall of the locking ring is provided with threaded teeth. The threads and threaded teeth engage with each other. Multiple sets of extrusion blocks are evenly distributed around the center of the connecting pipe at one end. The outer surface of each extrusion block is provided with threads that engage with the threaded teeth inside the locking ring.

[0006] Preferably, one end of the locking ring needs to be subjected to a drafting process, and the inner diameter of the end of the drafting process of the locking ring is smaller than that of the beginning end of the drafting process.

[0007] Preferably, both the draft start end and the draft end are provided with connecting rings, which are used to connect the closed-loop structure.

[0008] Preferably, the first closing ring is bolted to the end of the locking ring demolding, a sealing ring is provided between the contact surfaces of the first closing ring and the locking ring, and a first rubber ring is provided inside the first closing ring, with the inner diameter of the first rubber ring being interference-fitted with the outer diameter of the PE pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a second closing ring is bolted to the end of the locking ring away from the first closing ring, a sealing ring is provided between the contact surface of the second closing ring and the locking ring, a second rubber ring is provided inside the second closing ring, and the inner diameter of the second rubber ring is interference-fitted with the outer diameter of the connecting pipe.

[0010] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This utility model, through modifications and additions to certain structures, enables the connection of PE pipes to metal pipes. The first rubber ring prevents excessive gaps between the first sealing ring and the PE pipe, thus preventing leaks. The second rubber ring prevents excessive gaps between the second sealing ring and the connecting pipe, also preventing leaks. The sealing rings prevent excessive gaps between the contact surfaces of the first sealing ring and the locking ring, and vice versa. The connecting pipe can be connected to a metal pipe clamp or by thread. Thus, this utility model achieves the effect of connecting PE pipes to metal pipes. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a PE pipe 1, a locking ring 3, a first tight-closing ring 4, a second tight-closing ring 5, and a connecting pipe 2. The connecting pipe 2 is provided with threads 321, and the inner wall of the locking ring 3 is provided with threads 311. The threads 321 and the threads 311 cooperate with each other. Multiple sets of extrusion blocks 211 are evenly distributed around the center of the connecting pipe 2 at one end. The outer surface of the extrusion block 211 is provided with threads 321 that cooperate with the threads 311 provided in the locking ring 3.

[0020] Furthermore, one end of the locking ring 3 needs to undergo a drafting process, and the inner diameter of the end of the drafting process of the locking ring 3 is smaller than that of the beginning end.

[0021] Furthermore, both the draft start end and the draft end are provided with connecting rings 312, which are used to connect the closed-loop structure.

[0022] Furthermore, the first tight-closing ring 4 is bolted to the end of the mold release of the locking ring 3. A sealing ring 6 is provided between the contact surfaces of the first tight-closing ring 4 and the locking ring 3. A first rubber ring 411 is provided inside the first tight-closing ring 4.

The locking ring 3 is then bolted to the first closing ring 4. After connecting the connecting pipe 2 to the locking ring 3 via thread 321, the second closing ring 5 is bolted to the locking ring 3 to complete the installation. By modifying and adding some structural elements, the PE pipe 1 can be connected to a metal pipe, and the first rubber ring 411 can ensure the first closing ring 5 is bolted to the surface of the PE pipe 1. Excessive gap between the closed loop 4 and the PE pipe 1 can cause water leakage. The second rubber ring 511 can prevent excessive gap between the second tight closed loop 5 and the connecting pipe 2 from causing water leakage. The sealing ring 6 can prevent excessive gap between the contact surfaces of the first tight closed loop 4 and the locking ring 3 from causing water leakage. The connecting pipe 2 can be connected to the metal pipe clamp or by thread 321. Thus, this utility model can be used to achieve the effect of connecting PE pipe and metal pipe.
