Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal-coated flexible hose technology, specifically a metal-coated flexible hose that is resistant to bending. Background Technology
[0002] Metal-coated flexible hoses, as a multifunctional tubular material, have extremely wide applications in modern industry and daily life. In the industrial sector, they are extensively used in various types of machinery and equipment. For example, in the automotive manufacturing industry, metal-coated flexible hoses protect various electrical wires and cables in the engine compartment from high temperatures, oil contamination, and mechanical damage, ensuring the stable operation of the vehicle's electrical system. In the aerospace field, metal-coated flexible hoses, with their good flexibility and certain protective properties, are indispensable components for protecting the wiring of precision electronic equipment in aircraft and for the transportation of fluids such as fuel and hydraulic fluids. In the petrochemical industry, they are used to transport corrosive chemicals and high-temperature, high-pressure fluids, ensuring the continuity and safety of production processes. In the construction field, metal-coated flexible hoses are commonly used in building plumbing and electrical installations. They protect electrical wires and cables from damage when running through walls, floors, and other structures. They are also used in water supply and drainage systems where flexible connections are required, such as the connection between sanitary ware and pipes, ensuring flexibility while preventing pipe breakage due to vibration or displacement. Metal-coated flexible hoses are also ubiquitous in daily life. For example, metal-coated flexible hoses are used for gas pipe connections in home kitchens and water inlet and drainage pipes for washing machines, providing convenience and safety for people's lives.
[0003] However, in practical use, metal-coated flexible hoses often need to be bent to adapt to different installation and usage scenarios. However, the internal structure of ordinary metal-coated flexible hoses is easily damaged under frequent or significant bending. The metal layer may crack, which not only weakens the overall strength of the hose but may also cause metal fragments to fall off, affecting the insulation performance of internal cables or blocking the fluid transport channels. The plastic coating may also crack due to bending, losing its protective function for the metal layer, accelerating metal corrosion, and shortening the hose's service life. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a bend-resistant metal-coated flexible hose to solve the problem that the internal structure of existing ordinary metal-coated flexible hoses is easily damaged under frequent or large-amplitude bending.

[0028] In this embodiment, during use, the fluid transported by the inner pipe 1 will be mixed with impurities, which will cause the pipe to become blocked over a long period of time. Therefore, a threaded cylinder 401 is provided at the connection port 3. A filter screen 402 is installed inside the threaded cylinder 401, and the threaded cylinder 401 is connected by bolts, which makes it convenient for workers to install and disassemble it.
