Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline repair technology, and in particular to a plastic pipe fitting for rapid repair. Background Technology

[0002] PP-R pipes are widely used in household hot and cold water piping systems. They are typically laid in grooves in walls or floors, and then backfilled with cement after installation. In actual use, the piping system may be damaged by external impacts or have poor welds during the installation phase, leading to leaks after long-term use. In such cases, it is necessary to break open the wall or floor to carry out repairs.

[0003] Due to space constraints and the fact that both ends of the pipe to be repaired are encased in concrete, hindering movement, axial sealing methods cannot be used for repair. Existing technology uses elbows to change the sealing direction, stacking four 90° elbows to redirect the axial direction to a direction perpendicular to the pipe's axis for socket welding, resulting in a U-shaped repair section. However, this method results in two tightly fitted weld joints and connecting short pipes, leading to numerous joints, significant potential hazards, and high flow resistance due to the large number and density of elbows, affecting water flow.

[0013] Preferably, the pipe hole of the second connecting section is tapered, the inner diameter of the pipe opening into the sealing section of the second connecting section is consistent with the outer diameter of the sealing section, and the inner diameter of the pipe opening into the sealing section of the second connecting section gradually decreases towards the end closer to the rotating section.

[0014] Preferably, the inner diameter of the rotating section is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the sealing section, and the outer surface of the rotating section is a regular polygon.

[0034] The inner diameter of the heat-fusion socket section 101 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first pipe to be repaired 501. The inner wall of the pipe body 1 is provided with an inwardly extending limiting ring 102, which is located between the heat-fusion socket section 101 and the sealing section 104.

[0035] In this embodiment 2, the inner diameter of the sealing section 104 is larger than the outer diameter of the second pipe to be repaired 502. The sealing section 104 is provided with an annular positioning groove 1041, and the bottom of the annular positioning groove 1041 is provided with a plurality of sealing holes 1042 communicating with the interior of the sealing section 104.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] This embodiment 3, based on embodiments 1 and 2, describes how the various structures of this utility model are connected during the repair process of a specific embodiment.

[0039] In the actual repair process, the damaged pipe section is cut off in advance, and a certain installation distance is reserved between the first pipe to be repaired 501 and the second pipe to be repaired 502.

[0040] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the installation and positioning of the sealing locking component, the pipe to be repaired, the sealing ring, and the main body of the pipe fitting during the repair process of a quick-repair plastic pipe fitting according to this utility model application. The sealing locking component 3 is connected to the second pipe to be repaired 502; the sealing ring 2 is assembled into the sealing section of the main body 1 of the pipe fitting, wherein the positioning ring 201 is connected to the annular positioning groove 1041, and the sealing platform 202 is inserted into the sealing hole 1042. At this time, the inner diameter of the sealing ring 2 and the inner diameter of the sealing section 104 are the same and slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second pipe to be repaired 502. The main body 1 of the pipe fitting with the sealing ring 2 assembled is connected to the second pipe to be repaired 502, and the end face of the second pipe to be repaired 502 abuts against the limiting platform 102.

[0041] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the hot-melt socket section and the socket connection of the pipe to be repaired during the repair process of a plastic pipe fitting for rapid repair according to this utility model. The end face of the first pipe to be repaired 501 and the hot-melt socket section 101 of the fitting body 1 are simultaneously heated and melted using a hot-melt socket welding machine. By dragging the fitting body 1 towards the first pipe to be repaired 501, the end face of the first pipe to be repaired 501 abuts against the limiting platform 102 and is then held under pressure and cooled, achieving a molten socket seal between the first pipe to be repaired 501 and the hot-melt socket section 101.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the completed repair structure of a plastic pipe fitting for rapid repair according to this utility model. The sealing locking member 3 is slid towards the pipe fitting body 1, with its inner surface 302 contacting the outer surface of the sealing section 104, and its internal thread 103 contacting the external thread 301. Rotating the sealing locking member 3 allows the internal thread 103 and external thread 301 to engage. As the sealing locking member 3 continues to move towards the pipe fitting body 1, the inner surface 302 of the second connecting section 305, due to its conical structure, continuously applies circumferential pressure to the sealing section 104 and the sealing ring 2. Through the deformation of the sealing ring 2, the sealing hole 1042 between the first pipe to be repaired 501 and the pipe fitting body 1 is filled, achieving a circumferential seal and completing the entire repair process.

[0043] In summary, the present invention, through the design of a repair pipe fitting body with a heat-fusion socket section and a circumferential sealing section, achieves circumferential sealing of the pipe to be repaired by connecting and fixing one end through a heat-fusion socket and coordinating the other end with a gear-shaped rubber ring and a sealing locking component. This solves the problems of limited installation space and multiple joints with low flow capacity. The gear-shaped rubber ring serves both positioning and sealing functions, and the threaded connection and circumferential compression achieve circumferential sealing, significantly enhancing sealing performance. Furthermore, it is easy to operate, has fewer pipe connection sections, does not affect water flow, and eliminates potential quality issues related to joints.

[0044] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
