Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of electrofusion fittings, specifically relating to an electrofusion fitting that eliminates the need for welding time settings. Background Technology

[0002] Electrofusion fittings are an important connection method for plastic pipes, and the quality of their welding directly affects the actual service life of the pipes. Electrofusion fittings contain a resistance wire inside; when energized, the resistance wire heats up to provide heat for welding the fitting to the pipe. Therefore, welding parameter barcodes (including welding voltage and welding time) are affixed to electrofusion fittings for welding machine identification or manual parameter setting to achieve the desired welding result.

[0003] The amount of heat output during welding is affected by the actual output voltage and time of the welding machine. If the welding machine output is unstable, reliable welding quality cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, even if the welding machine output is normal, the amount of molten material generated by the fittings and pipes is still affected by factors such as ambient temperature. When the ambient temperature changes significantly, the welding machine will make corresponding compensations. However, since it cannot make precise compensation based on the heating conditions of the material itself, over-welding or under-welding may occur.

[0004] Existing electrofusion fittings typically use the height of the pointer protruding from the observation hole as a welding indicator, but this cannot accurately indicate whether the welding is completed normally. Some construction workers perform multiple welding operations based on their construction experience, causing the fitting connections to be subjected to excessive heat and resulting in high-temperature carbonization of the material.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-8 An electrofusion fitting that eliminates the need for welding time settings includes a resistance wire 1, a fitting body 2, a temperature-sensing electronic component 3, an electrode head 4, a first terminal block 5, a second terminal block 6, a protective cap 7, a plastic electrode 8, and a sealing component 10.

[0028] Specifically, an electrode hole 2-2 and an observation hole 2-1 are provided on the outer wall of one end of the pipe body 2, which are arranged radially. The electrode hole 2-2 is connected to the inside of the pipe body 2, and the electrode head 4 is fixedly placed in the electrode hole 2-2.

[0029] The observation hole 2-1 is designed to facilitate visual inspection of the welded area, so as to observe whether the pipe fitting is welded and the quality of the weld.

[0030] Specifically, the outer wall of the other end of the pipe fitting body 2 is provided with a wiring hole 2-3 arranged radially, a pre-fabricated hole 2-4 and an installation hole 2-5 arranged axially; the wiring hole 2-3 and the pre-fabricated hole 2-4 are both connected to the interior of the pipe fitting body 2.

[0031] The first terminal 5 and the second terminal 6 are respectively located in the wiring hole 2-3 and the pre-made hole 2-4.

[0032] The mounting hole 2-5 has an open structure on one side, which is connected to the wiring hole 2-3 and the prefabricated hole 2-4 respectively; the temperature sensing electronic component 3 is inserted into the mounting hole 2-5 through the open side of the mounting hole 2-5 and placed inside the mounting hole 2-5.

[0033] Specifically, the resistance wire 1 is spirally embedded in the inner wall of the tube body 2 according to the set pitch. One end is connected to the electrode head 4, and the other end is connected to the first terminal 5 together with the left wire 3-1 of the temperature sensing electronic element 3; the right wire 3-3 of the temperature sensing electronic element 3 is connected to the second terminal 6.

[0034] Specifically, an oil protective cap 7 is welded above electrode hole 2-2 to protect the connector. A plastic electrode 8 is welded at pre-drilled hole 2-4 to protect the terminal block. A sealing element 10 is inserted into the side of the fitting body 2 at the opening of mounting hole 2-5 to prevent the resistance wire from being exposed; the sealing element 10 is a rubber plug.

[0035] In this embodiment, during pipe assembly, the temperature-sensing electronic component 3 is inserted into the mounting hole 2-5 on the side of the pipe body 2, all the way to the pre-drilled hole 2-4. A hook tool is used to hook the right-side wire 3-3 of the temperature-sensing electronic component 3 out of the hole, as well as one end of the resistance wire 1 at the electrode hole and the left-side wire 3-1 of the temperature-sensing electronic component 3. The resistance wires hooked out of the holes and the left-side wire 3-1 of the temperature-sensing electronic component 3 are securely connected via the first terminal block 5, and excess material is removed. The right-side wire 3-3 of the temperature-sensing electronic component 3 is then inserted into the second terminal block 6; the second terminal block 6 is then inserted into the pre-drilled hole 2-4, and the second terminal block 6 and the wire are then securely connected.
