However, due to the difficulty in manufacturing composite pipe connection interfaces, currently available continuous fiber reinforced plastic composite pipes generally use pure plastic or metal fittings, which cannot meet the high-pressure requirements of pipeline systems and are relatively expensive.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the connector's inner layer is the same as the inner diameter of the composite pipe, and the outer diameter of the connector's inner layer is the same as the inner diameter of the composite pipe after part of the inner layer has been removed; the inner diameter of the connector's outer layer is the same as the outer diameter of the composite pipe, and the outer surface of the connector's outer layer is stepped.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer oxide layer on the end of the composite pipe needs to be removed.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0018] This utility model discloses a continuous non-metallic wound reinforced thermoplastic composite pipe connector structure, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, part of the inner layer 12 of the composite pipe 1 is removed from the inner wall of the end, and several through holes 3 are formed at the removal location. The connector 2 wraps around the inner and outer walls of the end of the composite pipe 1 and is divided into an inner connector layer 22 and an outer connector layer 21 by the end of the composite pipe 1. The inner connector layer 22 and the outer connector layer 21 are connected as a whole at the end and the through holes 3.
[0019] Furthermore, connector 2 is integrally injection molded.
[0020] Furthermore, the inner diameter of the inner layer 22 of the connector 2 is the same as the inner diameter of the composite pipe 1, and the outer diameter of the inner layer 22 is the same as the inner diameter of the composite pipe 1 after removing part of the inner layer 12; the inner diameter of the outer layer 21 of the connector 2 is the same as the outer diameter of the composite pipe 1, and the outer surface of the outer layer 21 is stepped.
[0021] Furthermore, the outer oxide layer 11 of the composite pipe 1 needs to be removed. This is because during the injection molding of the connector 2, the composite pipe 1 and connector 2 are firmly bonded, providing tensile strength. Combined with the thickness of connector 2, this increases the compressive strength of the connection.
[0022] Furthermore, through holes 3 are evenly distributed around the end of the composite tube 1, with 3-6 groups of 2-3 holes in each group. Their function is to fill the through holes 3 with thermoplastic plastic during the injection molding of the connector 2, forming the inner and outer layers of the connector 2 with the composite tube 1 as a single unit, thus providing stability and tensile strength.
[0023] Furthermore, half the thickness of the inner layer 12 of the composite pipe 1 is removed, with a removal length greater than 2cm, covering the evenly distributed through holes 3 at the end of the composite pipe. The purpose is to ensure that the inner and outer walls of the connector 2 are firmly bonded to the composite pipe 1 during injection molding, forming an integral whole with the plastic inside the through holes 3, thus enhancing tensile strength.
[0024] Furthermore, the end of connector 2 is a thermoplastic weld joint 4. During thermoplastic welding, the sealing line needs to be removed, and the oxide layer of the thermoplastic weld joint 4 needs to be removed as well.
[0025] Furthermore, a flange joint baffle is provided on the outer side of the end of the connector 2, which is used to limit the flange joint 5 when the two composite pipes 1 are connected.
[0026] The manufacturing and installation process of the connector of this utility model:
[0027] First, holes are drilled in the composite pipe, the outer oxide layer is removed, and part of the inner layer is peeled off. The pipe is then placed in an injection mold to injection mold the connector. During the hot-melt welding of the composite pipe... Figure 2 As shown, a flange joint is used, that is, a combined semi-circular flange is fitted onto the stop, or the flange is pre-fitted onto the composite pipe and then the connector is injection molded, and the two pipes are connected to the flange. If a heat fusion connection is used, the sealing line is removed, and the oxide layer of the heat fusion weld joint is removed, and then the joint is heat fused together.
