[0002] As the protection pipe for spaceflight, aviation aircraft wire and cable, it should have the characteristics of high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, light weight and excellent distortion performance. The traditional metal hose used in the past is too heavy in quality. Although the polytetrafluoroethylene hose used later can meet the requirements of light weight, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance and easy installation, its flexural performance is not ideal, so it is not an ideal protection pipe for spaceflight, aviation aircraft wire and cable. The hose assembly made of other engineering plastics such as polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene is also limited in application in the field of aerospace due to its poor high temperature resistance and aging resistance. SUMMARY

[0005] After adopting the above structure, the steel wire reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene spiral pipe assembly has the following advantages: the spiral pipe made of polytetrafluoroethylene is provided with a spiral groove on its outer wall. The flexible cooperation between the spiral groove and the steel wire reinforcing layer makes the spiral pipe assembly maintain shape stability under repeated bending conditions, so that the spiral pipe assembly has good flexural performance. The synergistic effect of the spiral groove and the steel wire reinforcing layer forms balanced load-bearing characteristics of axial tensile and radial compression, improving the overall strength of the spiral pipe assembly. The connecting head and the connecting seat not only facilitate the connection between the spiral pipe assemblies, but also facilitate the connection between the spiral pipe assembly and other aviation components.

[0016] The following is a detailed description of a steel wire reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene spiral tube assembly according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a steel wire reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene spiral tube assembly includes a spiral tube 1, a metal connecting assembly 2, and a steel wire reinforcement layer 3. The spiral tube 1 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the outer wall of the spiral tube 1 is provided with a spiral groove 4. The steel wire reinforcement layer 3 is a mesh structure formed by several steel wires being woven together, and the steel wire reinforcement layer 3 covers the outer wall of the spiral tube 1.
[0018] Specifically, the steel wire reinforcement layer 3 includes a forward braided layer 31, a reverse braided layer 32, and an anti-wear isolation layer 33. The forward braided layer 31 is disposed on the outer surface of the reverse braided layer 32. The braiding directions of the forward braided layer 31 and the reverse braided layer 32 are opposite. That is, the angle of the forward braided layer 31 is +θ, and the angle of the reverse braided layer 32 is -θ. This allows the tensile components of the two steel wire layers, the forward braided layer 31 and the reverse braided layer 32, to be superimposed in the axial and radial directions. The bidirectional tensile design effectively disperses axial and radial stresses and improves dynamic bending performance. The opposite directions of adjacent braided layers reduce the risk of fatigue fracture of the steel wire reinforcement layer 3 due to repeated bending.
[0019] The abrasion-resistant isolation layer 33 is composed of cross-woven aramid fibers. The weaving direction of the abrasion-resistant isolation layer 33 forms an angle with both the forward weaving layer 31 and the reverse weaving layer 32. In this embodiment, the weaving direction of the forward weaving layer 31 forms an angle of +55° with the axial direction of the spiral tube 1, the weaving direction of the reverse weaving layer 32 forms an angle of -55° with the axial direction of the spiral tube 1, and the weaving direction of the abrasion-resistant isolation layer 33 forms an angle of -30° with the axial direction of the spiral tube 1, so that its fiber orientation interweaves with the steel wire layer, achieving physical bonding through geometric nesting.
[0020] In addition, for the connection between the wear-resistant isolation layer 33 and the forward braided layer 31 and the reverse braided layer 32, polytetrafluoroethylene powder is pre-coated on the surface of the aramid fiber. The powder is melted by hot pressing and forms a fusion bonding interface with the polytetrafluoroethylene body of the forward braided layer 31 and the reverse braided layer 32 to avoid the risk of delamination.
[0021] For the connection between the reverse braid layer 32 and the spiral pipe 1, the same can be achieved by coating the reverse braid layer 32 with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating, and the coating melts with the polytetrafluoroethylene material of the outer wall of the spiral pipe 1 during the sintering process, forming a continuous bonding layer without interface difference.
[0022] As shown in Figure 1 The metal connecting assembly 2 comprises a connecting head 21 and a connecting seat 22, and the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22 are connected to the two ends of the spiral pipe 1 respectively. Both the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22 are tubular structures, and the outer wall of the connecting head 21 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the connecting seat 22 is provided with internal threads for connecting with the external threads.
[0023] As shown in Figure 1 The outer wall of the connecting head 21 is provided with an annular flange 5 for abutting against the end of the connecting seat 22, and the annular flange 5 is provided with a sealing ring 6 away from one end of the spiral pipe 1. When the connecting head 21 is connected with the connecting seat 22, the sealing ring 6 is located between the annular flange 5 and the end of the connecting seat 22, and plays a sealing role.
[0024] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 Both ends of the spiral pipe 1 are provided with connecting parts 7, and the outer peripheral wall of the connecting part 7 is provided with a limiting groove 8 in the circumferential direction. The end face of the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22 close to the spiral pipe 1 is provided with an annular groove 9 for accommodating the connecting part 7. Both ends of the spiral pipe 1 are connected with the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22 through crimping. When the connecting part 7 is crimped with the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22, the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22 are deformed and clamped into the limiting groove 8, which improves the tensile strength between the spiral pipe 1 and the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22, and has a certain sealing performance. In the embodiment, the limiting groove 8 is spiral-shaped.
[0025] In the utility model, the spiral pipe 1 made of polytetrafluoroethylene is provided with a spiral groove 4 on the outer wall. The spiral groove 4 cooperates with the steel wire reinforcing layer 3 to keep the spiral pipe assembly stable in shape under repeated bending conditions, so that the spiral pipe assembly has good deflection performance. The spiral groove 4 and the steel wire reinforcing layer 3 work together to form balanced load bearing characteristics of axial tensile and radial compression, improve the overall strength of the spiral pipe assembly, and the connecting head 21 and the connecting seat 22 are convenient for connecting the spiral pipe assemblies and connecting the spiral pipe assemblies with other aviation components.
[0026] The above describes the embodiments of the utility model in detail in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned one embodiment, and all other embodiments obtained by the person skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
