Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fiberglass pipe technology, specifically to an integral independent fiberglass pipe joint. Background Technology

[0002] Fiberglass pipes are fixed-length pipes, with double O-ring socket connections. When continuously wound fiberglass pipes cannot use connectors with built-in sockets, an independent O-ring connector is required. Currently available integrated O-ring connectors are primarily for high-pressure pipelines, resulting in high resistance and installation difficulty during construction. To meet the needs of the drainage pipe market, it is necessary to develop a fiberglass pipe connector that offers excellent sealing, meets drainage pressure resistance requirements, and is easy to install. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integral independent fiberglass pipe joint for connecting fiberglass pipes, which has the advantages of good sealing performance and convenient installation.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] An integral independent fiberglass pipe joint includes a full-width rubber ring, a fiberglass sleeve wound around the outer wall of the full-width rubber ring, at least two rubber ring stops provided on the inner wall of the full-width rubber ring and spaced apart, and a water-swellable rubber ring clamped between two adjacent rubber ring stops, wherein the rubber ring stops are integrally formed with the full-width rubber ring.

[0006] When the integral independent FRP pipe joint is used to connect FRP pipes, the rubber ring stop abuts against the end face of the adjacent FRP pipe, and the full-width rubber ring is fitted on the outer wall of the two connected FRP pipes.

[0007] Furthermore, the surface on which the rubber ring stop abuts against the fiberglass pipe wall is an inclined plane.

[0008] Furthermore, the full-width rubber ring includes a body and a plurality of sealing rings disposed on the inner wall of the body. When the full-width rubber ring is fitted onto the outer wall of the fiberglass tube, the sealing rings and the outer wall of the fiberglass tube form a labyrinth gap.

[0009] Furthermore, the number of rubber ring stoppers is 2-3.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the integral independent fiberglass pipe joint provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0011] I. The integral independent FRP pipe joint of this utility model has at least two rubber ring stops on the inner wall of the full-width rubber ring. A water-swellable rubber ring is inserted between the rubber ring stops. When the integral independent FRP pipe joint is used to connect FRP pipes, the rubber ring stops abut against the end face of the adjacent FRP pipe, and the full-width rubber ring is fitted on the outer wall of the two connected FRP pipes. After water flows through the FRP pipes, the water-swellable rubber ring expands, making the contact between the rubber ring stops and the FRP pipe tighter. Together with the full-width rubber ring, it forms a double-safety sealing effect.

[0012] II. In the integral independent fiberglass pipe joint of this utility model, the surface of the rubber ring stop that abuts against the end face of the fiberglass pipe is a sloping plane, so that the rubber ring stop forms a wedge-shaped structure, resulting in a better sealing effect.

[0013] III. The integral independent fiberglass pipe joint of this utility model can be installed by inserting the ends of the two fiberglass pipes to be connected into the full-width rubber ring, so that the end face of the fiberglass pipe abuts against the rubber ring stop. It is easy to install and has low resistance. Attached Figure Description
