Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to copper pipe connection structures, specifically to a connection structure for butt joints of copper alloy-lined composite steel pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Copper-lined composite steel pipe is a bimetallic composite pipe made of an outer carbon steel or alloy steel base pipe and an inner copper alloy lining layer tightly bonded together through a special process. Its design makes full use of the advantages of the two materials. The outer steel pipe provides high strength and pressure resistance, ensuring the structural stability of the pipeline under high pressure environment, while the inner copper alloy lining layer provides excellent corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and wear resistance, making it especially suitable for corrosive fluid transportation, heat exchange systems and high temperature environments.

[0003] However, most existing composite steel pipe butt joint structures are threaded joints, meaning that threads are installed at both ends of the rigid sections, and the pipes are joined by the threads. However, when using threads to connect steel pipes, the joint is exposed to air and is susceptible to environmental corrosion (rain, etc.) and impacts from debris, leading to damage and loosening of the joint. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a robust connection structure for butt joints of copper alloy-lined composite steel pipes. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this application provides a connection structure for butt joints of copper alloy-lined composite steel pipes. By setting fastening sleeves and locking sleeves, the steel pipe joints are protected in multiple ways, preventing them from being exposed to the air. This prevents the steel pipe joints from being easily damaged or loosened due to environmental corrosion and collisions with debris, thereby improving the stability of the copper pipe connection and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

This achieves protection of the steel pipe joint. At the same time, by screwing locking cylinder 3 and fastening cylinder 2 onto the steel pipe, it can also play a multiple fixing role for the steel pipe, improving the stability of the steel pipe joint.
