[0030] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a glass fiber composite rod 100, which includes a composite rod body 10, and the composite rod body 10 includes a galvanized steel pipe 11, a glass fiber layer 12 and a heat shrinkable layer 13.
[0032] The glass fiber layer 12 includes a first glass fiber layer, a second glass fiber layer, and a glass fiber woven fabric layer.
[0033] A first glass fiber layer is disposed on the outer surface of the galvanized steel pipe 11. The first glass fiber layer comprises multiple alkali-free glass fiber yarns arranged sequentially along the circumference of the galvanized steel pipe 11. In this first glass fiber layer, the length direction of each alkali-free glass fiber yarn is consistent with the length direction of the galvanized steel pipe 11; that is, in the first glass fiber layer, a single alkali-free glass fiber yarn is arranged along the length direction of the galvanized steel pipe 11. In some optional embodiments, the length direction of each alkali-free glass fiber yarn in the first glass fiber layer is equal to the length of the galvanized steel pipe 11.
[0034] The second glass fiber layer includes at least one alkali-free glass fiber yarn, which is wound around the surface of the first glass fiber layer. The second glass fiber layer serves to initially fix the alkali-free glass fiber yarn in the first glass fiber layer, preventing it from falling off. In some embodiments, the winding direction of the alkali-free glass fiber yarn in the second glass fiber layer is the circumferential direction of the galvanized steel pipe 11 (i.e., the winding direction is parallel to the circumferential direction). In other embodiments, the winding direction of the alkali-free glass fiber yarn in the second glass fiber layer is at an angle to the circumferential direction of the galvanized steel pipe 11. Further, in some optional embodiments, the second glass fiber layer contains multiple alkali-free glass fiber yarns, which are interlaced on the surface of the first glass fiber layer to further improve the stability of the glass fiber layer 12.
[0035] A fiberglass woven fabric layer is disposed on the surface of the second fiberglass layer. The number of fiberglass woven fabric pieces can be one or more, preferably multiple fiberglass woven fabric pieces are disposed in a multi-layered staggered layup method (such as ±45° layup or a combination of 0° / 90° layup), so that the fibers can withstand shear force in different directions and avoid weak directions.
[0036] In this embodiment, the glass fiber layer 12 further includes an adhesive region for bonding the glass fiber layer 12 to the galvanized steel pipe 11 and the heat-shrinkable layer 13. This adhesive region is formed after the resin adhesive has cured. The resin material (such as unsaturated polyester resin) in the resin adhesive can bond the glass fiber and transfer stress, thus helping to improve the overall performance of the glass fiber composite rod 100.
[0037] In this embodiment, the heat-shrinkable layer 13 is disposed on the entire surface of the glass fiber layer 12. This heat-shrinkable layer 13 is formed by heating and shrinking a heat-shrinkable composite sheet. Heating causes the heat-shrinkable composite sheet to completely shrink and wrap around the surface of the glass fiber layer 12. The heat-shrinkable composite sheet can be a common mesh-backed heat-shrinkable composite sheet or an adhesive-backed heat-shrinkable composite sheet.
[0038] Continuing from the above, in the fiberglass composite pole 100 provided in this embodiment, the galvanized steel pipe 11 has high strength and rigidity, providing basic support for the fiberglass composite pole 100, enabling it to withstand greater external forces. Furthermore, the galvanized steel pipe 11 has good resistance to deformation, allowing the fiberglass composite pole 100 to maintain a stable shape and structure when subjected to bending, tension, torsion, and other external forces, preventing excessive deformation or breakage of the pole and enhancing structural stability. In addition, the galvanized layer forms a dense protective film on the surface of the steel pipe, effectively blocking contact between air, moisture, and other corrosive substances, greatly improving the steel pipe's rust resistance and extending the service life of the fiberglass composite pole 100 in harsh outdoor environments.
[0039] The glass fiber layer 12 possesses high strength and high modulus, significantly improving the tensile strength, flexural strength, and other mechanical properties of the composite rod, thus enhancing its load-bearing capacity without adding excessive weight. Furthermore, glass fiber exhibits flexibility, allowing the composite rod to possess both high strength and elasticity, as well as impact resistance. When subjected to external impacts or vibrations, it absorbs and buffers energy through deformation, preventing brittle fracture. In addition, glass fiber itself is chemically stable, exhibiting excellent resistance to corrosion from acids, alkalis, salts, and other chemicals, protecting the composite rod from external corrosive media. In this embodiment, glass fiber, as an excellent electrical insulator, also endows the glass fiber composite rod 100 with good insulation properties, making it suitable for use as an insulating rod in power engineering and a utility pole in the communications field, preventing current conduction and ensuring safe operation.
[0040] After being heated and shrunk, the heat-shrinkable layer 13 tightly wraps around the surface of the fiberglass layer 12, forming a sealed protective layer. This effectively prevents external substances such as moisture, dust, and oil from entering the interior of the composite rod, avoiding corrosion and damage to the internal fiberglass layer 12 and galvanized steel pipe 11. Furthermore, the heat-shrinkable layer 13 also serves to secure the fiberglass layer 12 and galvanized steel pipe 11, improving the overall mechanical properties of the composite rod, such as enhancing its compressive and torsional resistance, reducing relative displacement and friction between layers, and improving the stability and reliability of the composite rod.
[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the outer diameter of the glass fiber composite rod 100 can be 148mm to 152mm, such as 148mm, 149mm, 150mm, 151mm, or 152mm, or other values within the range of 148mm to 152mm. The inner diameter of the glass fiber composite rod 100 can be 138mm to 142mm, such as 138mm, 139mm, 140mm, 141mm, or 142mm, or other values within the range of 138mm to 142mm.
[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the inner diameter of the galvanized steel pipe 11 can be 138mm to 142mm, such as 138mm, 139mm, 140mm, 141mm, or 142mm, or other values within the range of 138mm to 142mm. The thickness of the galvanized steel pipe 11 can be 0.5mm to 1.5mm, such as 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, or 1.5mm, or other values within the range of 0.5mm to 1.5mm.
[0043] The galvanized steel pipe 11 with the above dimensions has a larger moment of inertia and stability, which can better resist bending deformation, improve the bending resistance of the glass fiber composite rod 100, reduce the possibility of torsional deformation, and make it less prone to instability when subjected to compression or lateral force.
[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the thickness of the glass fiber layer 12 can be 5mm to 7mm, such as 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm or 7mm, or other values within the range of 5mm to 7mm.
[0045] The glass fiber layer 12 of the aforementioned thickness effectively improves the specific strength and specific modulus of the glass fiber composite rod 100, significantly enhancing its strength and stiffness without substantially increasing its weight, thus strengthening its fatigue resistance. Furthermore, it improves the shear strength of the glass fiber composite rod 100, enabling it to better resist shear forces, especially when the steel pipe and glass fiber layer 12 are well bonded, effectively transferring shear stress. In addition, the glass fiber layer 12 of the aforementioned thickness also provides the glass fiber composite rod 100 with excellent insulation and weather resistance.
[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the thickness of the heat-shrinkable layer 13 can be 2.5mm to 3.5mm, such as 2.5mm, 2.8mm, 3mm, 3.2mm or 3.5mm, or other values within the range of 2.5mm to 3.5mm.
[0047] The heat-shrinkable layer 13 with the above-mentioned thickness can better seal the internal structure of the glass fiber composite rod 100, prevent moisture, dust and corrosive media from entering, protect the steel pipe and glass fiber layer 12 from the influence of the external environment, and extend the service life of the glass fiber composite rod 100.
[0048] In some typical embodiments, the outer diameter of the fiberglass composite rod 100 is 150 mm and the inner diameter is 140 mm; the inner diameter of the galvanized steel pipe 11 is 140 mm and the thickness is 1 mm; the thickness of the fiberglass layer 12 is 6 mm; and the thickness of the heat-shrinkable layer 13 is 3 mm.
[0049] The fiberglass composite rod 100 with the above dimensions can combine excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and insulation properties.
[0050] Furthermore, the glass fiber composite rod 100 provided in this embodiment also includes end caps, which include a first end cap 21 and a second end cap 22, respectively disposed at both ends of the composite rod body 10.
[0051] The end caps serve two purposes: firstly, they provide mechanical protection to prevent damage to the ends of the fiberglass composite rod 100; secondly, they effectively prevent moisture and humidity from entering the interior of the fiberglass composite rod 100 and isolate the ends of the fiberglass composite rod 100 from external corrosive media, thus preventing corrosion of the rod ends.
[0052] In summary, the fiberglass composite pole 100 provided by this utility model has the advantages of being lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant, low-temperature resistant, and insulating. It can replace traditional cement poles or wooden poles as communication poles or power poles.
[0053] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
