[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-5 A hose assembly provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a hose 1 and a joint assembly 2,

[0035] The hose 1 comprises an inner metal skeleton 11, a pipe body 13 and an outer metal skeleton 12 connected in sequence from inside to outside, the inner and outer circumferential walls of the pipe body 13 are provided with thread grooves, the inner metal skeleton 11 and the outer metal skeleton 12 are in the shape of a spiral adapted to the thread grooves; the pipe body 13 comprises an inner barrier layer 130, a reinforcing layer 131, a puncture-proof layer 132 and an anti-aging outer cover layer 133 arranged in sequence from inside to outside, the inner barrier layer 130 is connected to the outer circumferential wall of the inner metal skeleton 11, and the anti-aging outer cover layer 133 is connected to the inner circumferential wall of the outer metal skeleton 12; wherein the inner metal skeleton 11 and the outer metal skeleton 12 are steel wire coils arranged in the thread grooves of the inner and outer circumferential walls of the pipe body 13 to clamp and compact the pipe body 13, so as to ensure the connectivity and structural strength of the whole hose 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the open end of the hose 1 is connected to the threaded part in a matching manner, the threads of the outer metal skeleton 12 are adapted to the threads of the threaded part, the sleeve 22 is arranged on the outer circumferential wall of the joint body 21 and presses the hose 1 between the sleeve 22 and the threaded part, so as to realize reliable connection of the hose 1 and the joint body 21; the first sealing ring 3 is arranged between the threaded part and the sleeve 22, so as to further strengthen the sealing property among the sleeve 22, the hose 1 and the joint body, and effectively prevent the liquid in the hose 1 from leaking at the connection between the hose 1 and the joint body 21. The connecting assembly 23 is clamped in the clamping groove 210 at one end of the joint body 21, compared with the traditional cam type locking joint, there is no problem of sliding and frictional wear in the locking process, the joint is uniformly stressed, and no leakage occurs when facing large pressure and lateral force.

[0038] In the embodiment, the joint assembly 2 preferably uses a clamp 230, one end of the clamp 230 is provided with a clamping portion 2301 along the inner periphery, the clamping portion 2301 is matched and clamped in the clamping groove 210, and the inner periphery of the clamp 230 is pressed with the outer periphery of the joint body 21 with the second sealing member 4. The clamp 230 can generate a larger holding force through fastening bolts and other components, tightly fix the external device and the joint body 21 together, effectively prevent the loosening or falling of the connecting portion 2302, and ensure the reliability of the connection. When installing, only need to put the clamp 230 in the clamping groove 210, then tighten the bolt to complete the connection, without complex tools and professional skills, simple operation, can greatly improve the installation efficiency. When the connected device needs to be repaired, replaced or adjusted, only need to loosen the bolt of the clamp 230, then the clamp 230 can be conveniently taken off, so as to separate the connected components, facilitate the maintenance and upgrading of the device. In addition, the clamp 230 has various specifications and materials to choose from, which can be selected according to the size, shape and use environment of the external device. The clamp 230 is used with the sealing ring in the application, the sealing ring is deformed by the uniform holding force, so as to realize good sealing effect and prevent liquid leakage.

[0039] Further, the clamp 230 includes two semicircular clamp bodies 2303, the two clamp bodies 2303 are sequentially connected end to end, the two ends of the clamp body 2303 are respectively provided with a connecting portion 2302, a gap is defined between each two opposite connecting portions 2302, the width of the gap gradually increases from the inner side of the clamp 230 to the outer side of the clamp 230, a connecting hole is formed on the connecting portion 2302, and a fastener 231 sequentially penetrates through the opposite connecting holes to connect the opposite connecting portions 2302. That is, the opposite side of the opposite connecting portions 2302 is provided as an inclined surface to form an inclined opening after the two connecting portions 2302 are connected. The inclined opening changes the contact mode between the clamp 230 and the fastened object. During the fastening process, the inclined opening is extruded at a certain angle with the surface of the fastened object, so that the normal pressure on the contact surface increases, the friction force also increases, which helps to resist the sliding tendency of the clamp 230 during fastening, thereby increasing the pre-tightening force. Also, the clamp 230 can be more closely attached to the surface of the pipeline to prevent the pipeline from loosening under pressure. In addition, the inclined opening design enables the clamp 230 to quickly reach a higher pre-tightening force during the fastening process. Compared with the flat opening clamp 230, the inclined opening clamp 230 can be tightened faster when tightening the fastener 231 due to the guiding and extruding effect of the inclined opening, which reduces the energy loss and deformation during the fastening process, thereby more effectively converting the fastening force into the pre-tightening force, improving the fastening efficiency and the size of the pre-tightening force.

[0040] Further, the outer periphery of the joint body 21 is provided with a limiting boss 211 between the clamping groove 210 and the threaded portion, the sleeve 22 is in interference fit with the joint body 21, and the limiting boss 211 can limit the sleeve 22 and leave a suitable connecting position for the connecting assembly 23.

[0041] Further, the puncture-proof layer 132 comprises a plurality of glass fiber layers 1320 and a plurality of aramid fiber layers 1321, the plurality of glass fiber layers 1320 and the plurality of aramid fiber layers 1321 are sequentially stacked, and the glass fiber layers 1320 and the aramid fiber layers 1321 are bonded by an adhesive. The glass fiber has good tensile strength and toughness, the aramid fiber has good tensile strength, cutting resistance and wear resistance, and the puncture-proof layer 132 made of glass fiber and aramid fiber can provide strong puncture-proof protection for the hose 1, so that the hose 1 can maintain good performance when facing various harsh environments and sharp object impacts, and the use reliability and safety of the hose 1 are ensured.

[0042] In the present application, the glass fiber layer 1320 and the aramid fiber layer 1321 are sequentially stacked for 3-5 layers, and the thickness of the puncture-proof layer 132 is 2-3 mm, so that the thickness of the puncture-proof layer is 40% of the thickness of the entire composite hose 1. Increasing the thickness of the puncture-proof layer 132 means that there are more fiber materials to resist the impact and puncture of sharp objects. In complex environments such as fields, mountains or construction sites, a thicker puncture-proof layer 132 can better cope with the frequent impact of sand, thorns, nails, etc., reduce the risk of being penetrated, and more effectively protect the hose 1. Controlling the thickness of the puncture-proof layer 132 can ensure the protection effect while avoiding the negative effects of excessive thickness. If the puncture-proof layer 132 is too thick, although the protection performance will be improved, the flexibility of the hose 1 may be reduced, and the weight and cost may be increased. Therefore, the inventors have obtained the best number of stacked layers of the glass fiber layer 1320 and the aramid fiber layer 1321 through many experiments, which is 3-5 layers, and the best thickness of the puncture-proof layer 132 is 2-3 mm.

[0043] Further, the inner barrier layer 130, the reinforcing layer 131 and the anti-aging outer cover layer 133 each comprise a plurality of polymer films, and the adjacent two polymer films are sequentially stacked and bonded by an adhesive. Specifically, the inner barrier layer 130 is made of a polytetrafluoroethylene film, a polyethylene film or the like, so as to have good corrosion resistance and sealing performance, and can adapt to different conveying environments; the reinforcing layer 131 is made of an aramid fiber reinforced polymer film or a polyester fiber reinforced polymer film, so as to have good strength and pressure resistance, and also has flexibility and tensile resistance, so that it is not easy to be damaged in bending, stretching and other operations, thereby prolonging the service life of the hose 1; the anti-aging outer cover layer 133 is made of a polyurethane film, a polyvinyl chloride film or the like, so as to have good wear resistance, anti-aging performance and insulation performance, so as to cope with the friction of sharp objects such as sand and thorns in complex environments such as wild mountains and construction sites, prevent the internal structure of the hose 1 from being damaged, and resist the erosion of environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays and oxygen, thereby prolonging the service life of the hose 1.

[0044] Further, the inner metal skeleton 11 and the outer metal skeleton 12 have the same pitch, and the inner metal skeleton 11 and the outer metal skeleton 12 are staggered. The inner metal skeleton 11 and the outer metal skeleton 12 can clamp and compact the inner barrier layer 130, the reinforcing layer 131, the puncture-resistant layer 132 and the anti-aging outer cover layer 133, and further ensure the connectivity and structural strength of the whole.
