Beschreibung description
Es ist bekannt, dass Kunststoffrohre aufgrund ihrer vorteilhaften Betriebseigenschaften, wie Korrosions- und Chemikalienbeständigkeit, leichte Verleg-barkeit, Flexibilität, Lebensdauer, Verschleissfestig-keit, Kalt- und Warmbiegbarkeit, in den letzten Jahren mit grossem Erfolg für Trinkwasser-Hausin-stallationen, Heizwassersysteme und anderes eingesetzt wurden. Zum Verbinden von Rohrabschnitten wurde bisher mit Erfolg das Thermo-Schweiss-verfahren verwendet, das im wesentlichen in zwei Varianten vorliegt. It is known that plastic pipes due to their advantageous operating properties, such as corrosion and chemical resistance, easy to install, flexibility, durability, wear resistance, cold and warm bendability, have been very successful in recent years for domestic drinking water installations, heating water systems and other things were used. So far, the thermal welding process has been used successfully for connecting pipe sections, which is essentially available in two variants.
Einerseits verwendet man hierzu die sogenannte Elektroschweissmuffe, eine aus unvernetztem Polyethylen bestehende, hohlzylindrische Muffe mit im Verbindungsbereich eingebetteter elektrischer Heizspule. Diese Heizspule bringt im erregten Zustand den sie umgebenden Werkstoff zum Schmelzen, der sich ausdehnt und beim Kontakt mit den in die Muffe hineinragenden Rohrenden dieselben ebenfalls oberflächlich zum Schmelzen bringt. Nach dem Erstarren des geschmolzenen Materials sind die beiden Rohre durch die Muffe fest miteinander verbunden. On the one hand, the so-called electro-welding sleeve is used, a hollow cylindrical sleeve made of non-cross-linked polyethylene with an electrical heating coil embedded in the connection area. When excited, this heating coil melts the surrounding material, which expands and, when it comes into contact with the pipe ends projecting into the sleeve, also causes it to melt on the surface. After the molten material has solidified, the two pipes are firmly connected to one another by the sleeve.
Gemäss einer weiteren Variante, dem Heizele-ment-Muffenschweissen, wird die Innenfläche des einen und die Aussenfläche des anderen Rohrendes durch kurzzeitigen Kontakt mit einem entsprechend geformten elektrischen Heizelement bis zur Schmelztemperatur aufgeheizt, worauf die Rohrenden nur noch gegen einen vorgeformten Anschlag ineinandergeschoben werden müssen. According to a further variant, heating element socket welding, the inner surface of one and the outer surface of the other pipe end is heated up to the melting temperature by brief contact with an appropriately shaped electrical heating element, whereupon the pipe ends only have to be pushed into one another against a pre-shaped stop.
Es ist dem Fachmann ferner bekannt, dass Rohre aus vernetztem Polyethylen bisher als grundsätzlich nicht miteinander verschweissbar angesehen wurden, so dass sich die bekannten Schweissver-fahren auf Rohre aus Polybuten, Polypropylen und unvernetztem Polyethylen (PE) beschränkten. Die Nachteile dieser bisher als schweissbar erachteten Kunststoffe sind ebenfalls bekannt: Während das Polybuten aufgrund der Schwundmasse und schwer einhaltbarer Formtoleranzen eine schwierige Verarbeitung bzw. komplizierte Herstellung mit Neigung zur Rissbildung aufweist, benötigt das Polypropylen wegen seiner geringen Festigkeit ausserordentlich dicke Rohrwandungen und das unvernetzte Polyethylen ist nur für Kaltwasser geeignet, Polyvinylchlorid-Rohrverbindungen werden bekanntlich geklebt und werden im Hinblick auf deren Umwelt-Unfreundlichkeit (z.B. die Bildung von Salzsäure beim Verbrennen) nur ungern eingesetzt. It is also known to the person skilled in the art that pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene have hitherto been regarded as fundamentally not weldable with one another, so that the known welding methods are limited to pipes made of polybutene, polypropylene and uncross-linked polyethylene (PE). The disadvantages of these plastics, which were previously considered to be weldable, are also known: While the polybutene, due to the shrinkage and shape tolerances that are difficult to maintain, is difficult to process or complicated to manufacture with a tendency to crack, polypropylene, because of its low strength, requires extremely thick tube walls and is uncrosslinked polyethylene only suitable for cold water, polyvinyl chloride pipe connections are known to be glued and are reluctant to use them due to their environmental unfriendliness (e.g. the formation of hydrochloric acid during combustion).
Demgegenüber stehen die allgemein anerkannten vorteilhaften Eigenschaften des vernetzten Polyethylens, insbesondere dessen hohe Zeitstandfestigkeit, sowie Alterungs- und Temperaturbeständigkeit, dessen Einsatz bisher am Vorurteil der Nicht-Schweissbarkeit scheiterte. This contrasts with the generally recognized advantageous properties of cross-linked polyethylene, in particular its high creep rupture strength, as well as aging and temperature resistance, the use of which has so far failed due to the prejudice of non-weldability.
Es ist ferner eine der Fachwelt bekannte Tatsache, dass nur gleichartige Kunststoffe miteinander verschweisst werden können. Da das sogenannt vernetzte Polyethylen normalerweise immer noch ca. 30% unvernetzte Werkstoffanteile aufweist, wurde bereits versucht, Rohre aus einem derartigen Kunststoff mittels einer Schweissmuffe aus unvernetztem Kunststoff zu verbinden. Dies führt zwar aufgrund des unvernetzten Werkstoffanteils der Rohre zu einer Schweissverbindung, die aber wegen der geringen Dauerfestigkeit des zwangsläufig unvernetzten Muffenwerkstoffs keinen grossen Zug-und Temperaturbelastungen ausgesetzt werden darf. Das Rohrsystem würde somit im Verbindungsbereich eine unverantwortbare Schwachstelle aufweisen, deren mechanische Beanspruchbarkeit und Heisswasserbeständigkeit weit hinter denjenigen der aus vernetztem Polyethylen erstellten Rohre zurückbliebe. It is also a fact known to experts that only plastics of the same type can be welded together. Since the so-called cross-linked polyethylene normally still contains approximately 30% non-cross-linked material, attempts have already been made to connect pipes made from such a plastic by means of a welding sleeve made from uncross-linked plastic. Although this leads to a welded connection due to the non-cross-linked material content of the pipes, this must not be exposed to large tensile and temperature loads due to the low fatigue strength of the inevitably uncross-linked socket material. The pipe system would therefore have an irresponsible weak point in the connection area, the mechanical strength and hot water resistance of which would lag far behind that of the pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene.
Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Schweissmuffe zur Erstellung einer Schweissverbindung an Rohren aus vernetztem Polyethylen vorzuschlagen, wie sie im Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 beschrieben ist. Dabei soll die neue Schweissmuffe trotz Verwendung des unvernetzten Polyethylens, das sich gegenüber der vernetzten Variante durch geringere mechanische Beanspruchbarkeit auszeichnet, eine einwandfreie Abdichtung mit hoher Druck- und Zugbeanspruch-barkeit aufweisen, so dass die für vernetzte Po-lyethylenrohre bekannte hohe Zeitstandfestigkeit und Temperaturbeständigkeit nun auch für den Verbindungsbereich Geltung haben. It is the object of the present invention to propose a welding sleeve for creating a welded joint on pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene, as described in the preamble of independent claim 1. Despite the use of uncrosslinked polyethylene, which is characterized by lower mechanical strength compared to the crosslinked version, the new welding socket should have a perfect seal with high pressure and tensile strength, so that the high creep rupture strength and temperature resistance known for crosslinked polyethylene pipes are now achieved also apply to the connection area.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs 1 definierte Merkmalskombination. This object is achieved by the combination of features defined in the characterizing part of independent patent claim 1.
Nachstehend wird anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung ein Ausführungsbeispiel nebst mehrerer Varianten beschrieben. Die Fig. 1 bis 5 der beiliegenden Zeichnung sind Schnittdarstellungen verschiedener Ausführungsformen des Erfindungsgegenstandes. An exemplary embodiment and several variants are described below with reference to the accompanying drawing. 1 to 5 of the accompanying drawings are sectional views of various embodiments of the subject matter of the invention.
Fig. 1 zeigt zwei Rohre 1 und 2 aus vernetztem Polyethylen, das hinfort der Einfachheit halber als VPE bezeichnet wird, während das unvernetzte Polyethylen als PE bezeichnet werden soll. Eine in ihrer Gesamtheit mit 3 bezeichnete Schweissmuffe ist zweiteilig aufgebaut: Eine Innenhülse 4 aus PE ist zwischen der Umfangsfläche der beiden Rohrenden und einer aus VPE bestehenden Aussenhülse 5 angeordnet. Die mit Heizdrähten 6 versehene Innenhülse 4 ist in ihrem Mittelbereich geteilt und die Endabschnitte beider Hülsenteile sind so abgewinkelt, dass sie einerseits die Randpartien der Aussenhülse 5, andererseits einen von der Aussenhülse 5 nach innen ragenden, zentralen Ringwulst 7 übergreifen. Fig. 1 shows two pipes 1 and 2 made of cross-linked polyethylene, which for the sake of simplicity is referred to as VPE, while the uncross-linked polyethylene is to be referred to as PE. A welding sleeve, designated as a whole by 3, is constructed in two parts: an inner sleeve 4 made of PE is arranged between the circumferential surface of the two pipe ends and an outer sleeve 5 made of XLPE. The inner sleeve 4 provided with heating wires 6 is divided in its central region and the end sections of both sleeve parts are angled in such a way that they overlap the edge parts of the outer sleeve 5 on the one hand, and a central annular bead 7 which projects inwards from the outer sleeve 5.
Die flüssigkeitsdichte Verbindung der beiden Rohre 1 untò 2 lässt sich erzielen, indem die Schweissmuffe über die Rohrenden geschoben und beheizt wird. Das schmelzende Material der Innenhülse 4 dehnt sich dabei aus und verbindet sich mit den durch Kontakt ebenfalls aufgeheizten Nachbarteilen der Aussenhülse 5 und der Rohrenden. The liquid-tight connection of the two pipes 1 and 2 can be achieved by pushing the welding sleeve over the pipe ends and heating it. The melting material of the inner sleeve 4 expands and connects to the neighboring parts of the outer sleeve 5 and the pipe ends, which are also heated by contact.
Die axiale Gesamtlänge der Schweissmuffe kann den zu erwartenden Längsbeanspruchungen des Rohrsystems angepasst werden. The total axial length of the welding socket can be adapted to the expected longitudinal stresses of the pipe system.
Gemäss Fig. 2 ist über die VPE-Rohre 1 und 2 eine ebenfalls zweiteilige Schweissmuffe 7 geschoben. Diese besteht aus einer Innenhülse 8 aus Polyethylen mit eingebettetem Heizdraht 8a und einer dieselbe allseitig umgebenden Ummantelung 9 aus 2, a likewise two-part welding sleeve 7 is pushed over the XLPE pipes 1 and 2. This consists of an inner sleeve 8 made of polyethylene with embedded heating wire 8a and a sheathing 9 surrounding the same on all sides

einem mechanisch beanspruchbaren Kunststoff (z.B. POM) oder Metall (z.B. Chromstahl). Je nach Material kann die Innenhülse 8 umspritzt oder das Polyethylen, das die Innenhülse 8 bildet, in die Aussenhülse 9 eingespritzt werden. Die an der Aussenfläche der Innenhülse 8 eingeformten Um-fangsrippen 10 bzw. Ringnuten 11 ermöglichen die Übertragung auch beträchtlicher Druck- und Zugkräfte in Längsrichtung. a mechanically loadable plastic (e.g. POM) or metal (e.g. chrome steel). Depending on the material, the inner sleeve 8 can be extrusion-coated or the polyethylene that forms the inner sleeve 8 can be injected into the outer sleeve 9. The circumferential ribs 10 or annular grooves 11 formed on the outer surface of the inner sleeve 8 also enable the transmission of considerable compressive and tensile forces in the longitudinal direction.
Die in Fig. 3 gezeigte Variante zeigt eine beide VPE Rohre 1 und 2 übergreifende einteilige Schweissmuffe 12 aus Polyethelyen, in welche ein Armierungsnetz 13 aus Stahldraht eingebettet ist. Anstelle des letzteren liesse sich beispielsweise auch ein perforiertes Stahlrohr einbetten. Der Heizdraht ist hier weggelassen, da das System auch für Muffenschweissung geeignet ist, bei welcher die Muffeninnen- und Rohraussenflächen mittels eines Heizwerkzeugs aufgeheizt werden. The variant shown in FIG. 3 shows a one-piece welding sleeve 12 made of polyethylene that spans both XLPE tubes 1 and 2 and in which a reinforcing mesh 13 made of steel wire is embedded. Instead of the latter, for example, a perforated steel tube could also be embedded. The heating wire is omitted here, since the system is also suitable for socket welding, in which the inside and outside of the pipe surfaces are heated using a heating tool.
Auch die in Fig. 4 dargestellte Ausführungsform zeigt eine einteilige Schweissmuffe aus Polyethylen. Die Vernetzung dieses Materials nimmt hier jedoch vom Aussenbereich A nach innen ab, so dass der mit den VPE-Rohren 1 und 2 zu verschweissende Innenbereich I der Schweissmuffe 14 keine Vernetzung mehr aufweist. Auch auf diese Weise wird das angestrebte Ziel erreicht, eine gut verschweiss-bare und dennoch mechanisch und thermisch beanspruchbare Schweissmuffe zu erhalten, wobei hier der vernetzte Aussenbereich A der Schweissmuffe als Armierung dient und die auftretenden Zug- und Druckkräfte durch diesen Aussenbereich übertragen werden. The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 also shows a one-piece welding sleeve made of polyethylene. However, the cross-linking of this material decreases from the outside area A to the inside, so that the inside area I of the welding sleeve 14 to be welded with the XLPE pipes 1 and 2 no longer has any cross-linking. In this way, too, the desired goal is achieved of obtaining a weldable butt weldable but nevertheless mechanically and thermally stressable, wherein the networked outer area A of the welded sleeve serves as reinforcement and the tensile and compressive forces that occur are transmitted through this outer area.
Die Variante nach Fig. 5 zeigt eine Schweissmuffe 15 aus VPE mit zwei eingeformten Hohlräumen 16 und 17, die im Querschnitt T-förmig ausgebildet sind und demgemäss je einen ringförmigen Ver-schweissungsabschnitt V und einen radialen Kanal K aufweisen. Nachdem die Schweissmuffe auf die VPE-Rohre 1 und 2 aufgesteckt wurde, wird in die Hohlräume 16 und 17 über die Kanäle K unter Druck Polyethylen eingespritzt. Das flüssige Material soll die die Hohlräume 16 und 17 umgrenzende Muffenfläche sowie die Rohre anschmelzen und verschweissen. The variant according to FIG. 5 shows a welding sleeve 15 made of XLPE with two molded-in cavities 16 and 17, which are T-shaped in cross section and accordingly each have an annular welding section V and a radial channel K. After the welding sleeve has been placed on the XLPE pipes 1 and 2, polyethylene is injected into the cavities 16 and 17 via the channels K under pressure. The liquid material is intended to melt and weld the sleeve surface delimiting the cavities 16 and 17 and the pipes.
