Abstract
The composite pipe according to the present invention is made by combining the main portion and the short pipe portion, and has the advantage that the inner pipe of the main portion can be firmly coupled to the inner surface of the short pipe portion without bending or stepping.
Claims7
A composite pipe comprising:
- a main portion;
- and,
- a short pipe portion having a shorter length than the main portion;
- wherein the short pipe portion is coupled to a first end of both ends of the main portion to be watertight, and liquid or gas can move through the short pipe portion and the main portion,
- wherein the main portion comprises
- an outer pipe;
- an inner pipe inserted into the outer pipe;
- and,
- a resin layer formed to cover an outer surface of the outer pipe;
- wherein the short pipe portion and the inner pipe are made of a material having greater corrosion resistance than the outer pipe,
- wherein a groove or a protrusion is continuously formed on an outer surface of the short pipe portion along a circumferential direction,
- wherein an end side of the short pipe portion is coupled to an end side of the outer pipe so as to be watertight,
- wherein the inner pipe extends further into the short pipe portion than the outer pipe, and an extended portion of the inner pipe is bonded or welded to an inner surface of the short pipe portion, and
- wherein a length of the extended portion is shorter than the length of the short pipe portion, and a portion of the short pipe portion to which the inner pipe is not extended is exposed to the liquid or gas.

A connection structure of a composite pipe comprising:
- the composite pipe is formed by combining a main portion and a short pipe portion so as to be watertight,
- wherein the main portion comprising:
- an outer pipe;
- and,
- an inner pipe inserted into the outer pipe;
- wherein the inner pipe extends further into the short pipe portion than the outer pipe to be coupled to an inner surface of the short pipe portion so as to be watertight,
- wherein the short pipe portion has a shorter length than the main portion, and a groove is continuously formed on an outer surface of the short pipe portion along a circumferential direction, and the short pipe portion and the inner pipe are made of greater corrosion-resistant material than the outer pipe,
- wherein among both ends of the main portion, an expansion portion is formed in one of the ends of the both ends opposite to the other end of the both ends coupled to the short pipe portion, and the short pipe portion is inserted into an expansion portion of an adjacent composite pipe,
- wherein the connection structure comprises:
- a watertight ring inserted between the expansion portion of the adjacent composite pipe and the short pipe portion;
- a flange having an insertion portion inserted between the expansion portion of the adjacent composite pipe and the short pipe portion and a fastening portion extending vertically from the insertion portion;
- a support ring installed on the expansion portion of the adjacent composite pipe and having a ring shape;
- and,
- a fastening bolt fastening the flange and the support ring;
- wherein a step or a groove is continuously formed along the circumferential direction at a portion corresponding to the groove on an inner surface of the insertion portion,
- wherein a stopper ring is installed in the groove, and a part of the stopper ring protrudes from the groove, and the part of the stopper ring is caught in the step or inserted into the groove, so that the flange is fixed to the short pipe portion and separation of the short pipe portion is prevented, and
- the flange is fixed to the short pipe portion, so that the support ring presses the expansion portion of the adjacent composite pipe against the watertight ring and the separation of the short pipe portion is prevented.
