Abstract

A sealing pipe joint made of resin includes a joint body, an inner ring, and a nut. The inner ring includes a plug head, the joint body includes a slot portion, the plug head is inserted within the slot portion to form a sealing connection. The nut is connected to the join body to maintain the plug head and the slot portion in a plugged state, the nut presses against the inner ring. In a free state, a radius thickness of the plug head is linearly changed along the axis of the inner ring, and in plugged state, the slot portion is elastically deformed and a radius changing rate of the slot portion is less than that of the plug head when the plug head is in the free state.

Claims (9)

1 . A sealing pipe joint made of resin, wherein:

the sealing pipe joint made of resin comprises a joint body, an inner ring, and a nut; the inner ring comprises a plug head, the joint body comprises a slot portion, the plug head is inserted within the slot portion to form a sealing connection; the nut is connected to the join body to maintain a plugged state between the plug head and the slot portion, the nut remains pressing against the inner ring;

in a free state, a radius thickness of the plug head is linearly changed along an axis of the inner ring, and in the plugged state, the slot portion is elastically deformed and a radius changing rate of the slot portion is less than a radius changing rate of the plug head when the plug head is in the free state; in the free state, an inner peripheral surface of the plug head and an axis of the inner ring form an angle θ; in the plugged state, the slot portion is deformed, and an outer peripheral surface of the slot portion and the axis of the inner ring form an angle α, the angle θ is greater than the angle α, and 0<θ<15°; T 2 >T 1 >D, D is a width of the slot portion, T 1 is a thickness of a front end of the plug head, and T 2 is a thickness of a rear end of the plug head.

2 . The sealing pipe joint made of resin according to claim 1 , wherein in the plugged state, a compression rate of the plug head decreases along an insertion direction, a compression rate of the front end of the plug head is greater than or equal to 0, and a compression rate of the rear end of the plug head is less than or equal to 40%.

3 . The sealing pipe joint made of resin according to claim 2 , wherein in the free state, an outer peripheral surface of the plug head and the axis of the inner ring form an angle.

4 . The sealing pipe joint made of resin according to claim 1 , wherein the joint body comprises a cylindrical portion), the cylindrical portion comprises an outer cylindrical portion and an inner cylindrical portion formed on one side thereof, extending outwardly in an axial direction of the cylindrical portion, the outer cylindrical portion has an extension length greater than that of the inner cylindrical portion, the slot portion is surrounded by the cylindrical portion, the outer cylindrical portion and the inner cylindrical portion.

5 . The sealing pipe joint made of resin according to claim 1 further comprising a pipe, wherein the inner ring is inserted into the pipe, the inner ring is provided with a protrusion protruding radially outward, and the protrusion enlarges an inlet portion of the pipe to form a sealing connection.

6 . The sealing pipe joint made of resin according to claim 5 , wherein the pipe extends between the joint body and the inner ring, the nut is mounted on the pipe and screwed to the joint body, the nut and protrusion of the inner ring clamp the pipe tightly so as to form a sealing connection.

7 . The sealing pipe joint made of resin according to claim 1 , wherein the joint body and the inner ring are made of a resin material.
