Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe fittings, and in particular to a D-shaped pipe. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic pipe fittings are generally made from synthetic resin, specifically polyester, with the addition of stabilizers, lubricants, and plasticizers, through extrusion processing in a pipe-making machine. They are mainly used for piping in building water supply systems, drainage, ventilation, and sewage systems; underground drainage systems; rainwater pipes; and conduits for electrical wiring. Plastic pipe fittings are divided into two main categories: thermoplastic pipes and thermosetting plastic pipes. Thermoplastic pipes include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyoxymethylene (POM) pipes; thermosetting pipes include phenolic plastic pipes.
[0003] Existing plastic pipe fittings all have circular cross-sections. When installing them, the wall needs to be excavated into deep grooves, and there are gaps between parallel pipes. Mortar needs to be filled to ensure the corrosion resistance of the plastic pipe fittings, protect the pipes, and extend their service life. This results in low installation convenience and poor installation stability. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, this utility model provides a D-shaped tube, which mainly solves the problems of low installation convenience and poor installation firmness of the existing circular tube.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A D-shaped tube includes a tube body with a D-shaped cross-section. The tube body has an arc-shaped portion, a rectangular portion, and a connecting portion connecting the arc-shaped portion and the rectangular portion. The arc-shaped portion, the rectangular portion, and the connecting portion are integral structures. The arc-shaped portion has an arc surface with a semi-circular cross-section. The rectangular portion has three straight surfaces with a U-shaped cross-section. The connecting portion has two inclined surfaces. The sidewall thickness of the straight surfaces is 1.2 to 1.5 times the sidewall thickness of the arc surface. The inner wall of the straight surfaces is provided with reinforcing ribs distributed along the axial direction of the tube body. The inner wall of the arc surface is provided with at least two spiral guide lines.
[0007] Furthermore, the tube body includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and a metal layer distributed between the inner and outer layers. The metal layer has through holes distributed in a matrix, and the inner and outer layers are connected at the through holes.
[0008] Furthermore, the inner layer and the rectangular portion are provided with rectangular through grooves that extend through the tube in the axial direction.
[0009] Furthermore, a rounded corner structure is provided between adjacent inclined surfaces and straight surfaces, and the transition arc radius of the rounded corner structure is not less than 3mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the angle between the inclined surface of the connecting part and the horizontal plane is 65 to 85 degrees, and the length of the inclined surface accounts for 1 / 10 to 1 / 8 of the height of the pipe body.
[0011] Furthermore, the number of reinforcing ribs is 3 to 5, the rib height is 1.5 to 2.5 mm, the rib width is 4 to 6 mm, and the distance between adjacent reinforcing ribs is 1 / 8 to 1 / 6 of the circumference of the tube.
[0012] Furthermore, the pitch of the spiral guide pattern is 30-50mm, the cross-section of the guide pattern is semi-elliptical, and the height is 0.8-1.2mm.
[0013] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This D-shaped pipe significantly reduces the depth of wall grooves through its D-shaped cross-section, improving the convenience of pre-embedded construction; the differentiated wall thickness design enhances structural strength and effectively resists external pressure; and the built-in reinforcing ribs greatly improve the axial bearing capacity of the pipe body; at the same time, the spiral flow guiding structure optimizes fluid dynamics performance and maintains water conveyance efficiency.

[0018] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] The embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0020] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a D-shaped tube includes a tube body 1 with a D-shaped cross-section. The tube body 1 has an arc-shaped portion 11, a rectangular portion 12, and a connecting portion 13 connecting the arc-shaped portion 11 and the rectangular portion 12. The arc-shaped portion 11, the rectangular portion 12, and the connecting portion 13 are integral structures. The arc-shaped portion 11 has an arc surface 101 with a semi-circular cross-section. The rectangular portion 12 has three flat surfaces 102 with a U-shaped cross-section. The connecting portion 13 has two inclined surfaces 103. The sidewall thickness of the flat surface 102 is 1.2 to 1.5 times that of the sidewall thickness of the arc surface 101, preferably 1.3 times. The inner wall of the flat surface 102 is provided with reinforcing ribs 2 distributed along the axial direction of the tube body 1. The inner wall of the arc surface 101 is provided with five spiral guide lines 3.
[0021] This D-shaped pipe significantly reduces the depth of wall grooves through its D-shaped cross-section, improving the convenience of pre-embedded construction; the differentiated wall thickness design enhances structural strength and effectively resists external pressure; and the built-in reinforcing ribs 2 greatly improve the axial load-bearing capacity of the pipe body; at the same time, the spiral guide pattern 3 structure optimizes fluid dynamics performance and maintains water delivery efficiency.
[0022] Furthermore, the pipe body 1 includes an inner layer 10, an outer layer 20, and a metal layer 30 distributed between the inner layer 10 and the outer layer 20. The metal layer is made of aluminum. The metal layer 30 has through holes 40 arranged in a matrix. The inner layer 10 and the outer layer 20 are connected at the through holes. The sandwich metal structure improves the overall rigidity of the pipe. The through hole 40 design achieves a stable bond between the layers and prevents delamination. The metal layer 30 effectively blocks gas permeation and extends the service life.
[0023] Furthermore, the inner layer 10 and the rectangular portion 12 are provided with rectangular through grooves 4 that are distributed in the axial direction of the pipe body 1, which enhances the flexibility of the pipe, facilitates on-site bending construction, and forms a stress buffer channel to reduce the risk of joint leakage.
[0024] It is worth noting that a rounded corner structure 5 is provided between adjacent inclined surfaces 103 and flat surfaces 102. The transition arc radius of the rounded corner structure 5 is not less than 3mm, which smooths the transition, reduces stress concentration, improves pressure resistance, optimizes fluid direction, and reduces local turbulence loss.
[0025] Furthermore, the inclined surface 103 of the connecting part 13 forms an angle of 65 to 85 degrees with the horizontal surface 102, preferably 75 degrees. The length of the inclined surface 103 accounts for 1 / 10 to 1 / 8 of the height of the tube body 1, preferably 1 / 10. The specific angle design balances lateral support and material utilization, optimizes the structural weight distribution, and achieves lightweight design.
[0026] In this embodiment, the number of reinforcing ribs 2 is 3 to 5, preferably 5. The rib height is 1.5 to 2.5 mm, preferably 1.8 mm, and the rib width is 4 to 6 mm, preferably 4 mm. The spacing between adjacent reinforcing ribs 2 is 1 / 8 to 1 / 6 of the circumference of the pipe body 1, preferably 1 / 6. The multi-rib configuration enhances the cross-sectional deformation resistance, and the scientific spacing layout ensures a balance between strength and material economy. The pitch of the spiral guide pattern 3 is 30 to 50 mm, preferably 40 mm. The cross-section of the spiral guide pattern 3 is semi-elliptical, with a height of 0.8 to 1.2 mm, preferably 1 mm. The specific pitch design improves the stability of water flow and optimizes the cross-sectional shape to reduce sediment adhesion.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
