They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation.

[0019] A type of corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe with socket joint includes an anti-corrosion layer 1, a steel cylinder 2, a socket 3, a T-shaped rubber ring 4, cement mortar 5, and a spigot 6. The steel cylinder 2 is a steel pipe with corrugated reinforcing ribs rolled out. The inner lining is a cement mortar anti-corrosion layer 5. The corrugated reinforcing ribs 7 of the steel pipe protrude inward and are divided into two types: single U-shaped and double U-shaped.

[0020] The outer tube is a cylindrical steel pipe formed by spiral rolling and welding to form a spiral weld joint. The corrugated reinforcing rib 7, which is rolled out by steel plate, is spirally recessed along the cylindrical steel pipe to form a corrugated outer wall. The inner lining cement mortar 5 is bonded to the outer wall by high-speed centrifugation. The spigot 6 is rolled out with two U-shaped grooves 601 for placing sealing rings. The flange end of the spigot 6 is welded to the outer steel pipe of the base pipe. The small end of the trumpet-shaped socket 3 is welded to the steel cylinder.

[0021] The outer surface of the corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe with socket joint is provided with an anti-corrosion layer 1.

[0022] The connection structure of the socket 3 and the spigot 6 is as follows: the spigot 6 of the first steel cylinder is inserted into the flared socket 3 of the second steel cylinder, and two T-shaped rubber rings 4 are placed in the U-shaped groove 601 of the spigot 6 of the first steel cylinder. The spigot 6 of the first steel cylinder is in sealed contact with the flared socket 3 of the second steel cylinder through the T-shaped rubber rings 4 thereon.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-2 This utility model discloses a corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe with a socket joint. It includes a trumpet-shaped socket, a base pipe, and a spigot. The base pipe consists of an anti-corrosion layer 1, a steel cylinder 2, and cement mortar 5. The anti-corrosion layer 1 is applied by plastic coating, spraying epoxy resin paint, or a two-oil-one-cloth process. The steel cylinder 2 is a steel plate with rolled reinforcing ribs. The steel cylinder 2 and its reinforcing ribs 201 are connected to the inner lining concrete. The inner concrete adheres to the steel pipe and forms an integral part with the steel pipe. The reinforcing ribs 201 rolled from the steel plate are spirally recessed along the outer wall of the cylindrical steel pipe to form a concrete base pipe with a corrugated outer wall and a smooth inner wall. The spigot 6 is provided with two U-shaped grooves 601 for accommodating T-shaped rubber rings 4. One end is welded to the edge of the corrugated steel pipe. The small end of the trumpet-shaped socket 3 is welded to the base pipe.

[0024] The inner and outer surfaces of the 6-corrosion reinforced spiral steel pipe with socket joint are both provided with anti-corrosion layer 1.

[0025] T-shaped rubber ring 4 is a commercially available product based on existing technology.

[0026] The U-shaped or double U-shaped corrugated structure of the socket-joint corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe can more effectively disperse and withstand internal and external pressure; at the same time, it increases the interface bonding area between cement mortar and the inner surface of the steel cylinder, and the overall strength is significantly improved.

[0027] Because the corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe with socket joint adopts a corrugated reinforcement structure, the corrugations can significantly improve the pipe's resistance to radial buckling under radial external force, increasing the pipe's radial stability by approximately 2 times. Therefore, the wall thickness of the steel pipe can be reduced under the same external load. This reduces the amount of steel used while maintaining the same design strength, thereby lowering project costs and after-sales maintenance expenses.

[0028] Due to the special shape of the corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe at the socket joint, it can reduce stress concentration caused by uneven settlement of the pipe foundation, has lower requirements for soil bearing capacity, has strong adaptability to soil layer changes, and has good shear resistance and seismic performance.

[0029] External corrosion protection uses epoxy resin paint or two-coat-one-cloth epoxy coal tar paint, etc.; internal corrosion protection uses a centrifugally coated cement mortar protective layer, using high-quality cement raw materials that have undergone strict testing. This ensures the mortar is firm, dense, smooth, adheres well to carbon steel surfaces, does not peel off, does not scale, and is of uniform thickness, guaranteeing meticulous protection for every inch of the pipe's interior.

[0030] The corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipe with socket joint adopts a double-seal T-ring socket connection method. The socket joint is produced by mold, and the overall pipeline working pressure is ≥1.6MPa; the test pressure is ≥2.1MPa. The socket joint has a self-positioning function during installation and the joint has good sealing performance. The double-seal rubber rings form two lines of defense. When one rubber ring fails to seal properly, the other rubber ring can still provide a seal, effectively preventing water leakage. At the same time, the first rubber ring can completely block various impurities in the water, so the second rubber ring only needs to serve as a backup seal. Under complex conditions such as pressure fluctuations and slight deformation of the pipeline, the double rubber rings can better adapt to and maintain sealing performance, reduce the risk of leakage, and ensure the impermeability of the pipe material.

[0031] The double sealing rings can be pressurized by drilling a hole to test the seal, allowing for timely detection and adjustment of sealing issues during installation. This avoids the need for rework due to problems discovered after installing a single sealing ring, improving construction efficiency and reducing pressure testing costs.

[0032] Corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipes with socket joints can withstand the risks of impact and load under buried conditions for a long time, and can also easily withstand the continuous reciprocating passage of trucks and heavy machinery. The contact pressure of the sealing ring increases with the increase of internal water pressure, resulting in better sealing performance and less leakage; it also has a certain range of angle deflection, which can adapt well to the settlement of the foundation and can withstand certain seismic environments.

[0033] The socket connection eliminates the need for welding during pipe laying, saving the work of digging trenches at corresponding locations on the foundation. No special foundation treatment is required, improving installation efficiency. It is minimally affected by rain or snow, and installers can perform the work after simple training. Soil backfilling and compaction are easily completed, making it suitable for longer pipelines.

[0034] Under suitable conditions, corrugated reinforced spiral steel pipes can have a service life of more than 50 years.
