In another embodiment, the sealing member is cut along the outer contour of the plurality of outer tubes 10 by a cutter to form the sealing portion 20 sealing the first ends 11 of the plurality of outer tubes 10.
In one embodiment, in step S13, the time t for heating the first ends 11 of the plurality of outer tubes 10 while being bonded to the sealing member is: t is more than or equal to 5s and less than or equal to 8s, and the temperature T is as follows: t is more than or equal to 120 ℃ and less than or equal to 200 ℃, and the pressure P applied to the outer pipe body 10 is as follows: p is more than or equal to 100Pa and less than or equal to 300 Pa.
In the present embodiment, since the adhesive is a viscous solid-liquid mixture at normal temperature, the first end 11 to which the adhesive is adhered is bonded to the sealing material at normal temperature, and the first end 11 and the sealing material cannot be firmly bonded. In this embodiment, the bonding position of the first end 11 and the sealing member is heated, so that the bonding agent at the bonding position of the first end 11 and the sealing member is completely melted, and the moisture is evaporated, thereby improving the bonding strength of the bonding agent. In addition, the joint of the first end 11 and the sealing element is heated, so that peculiar smell of the adhesive is emitted, and the joint of the first end 11 and the sealing element is free from peculiar smell when heated again. In addition, the joint of the first end 11 and the sealing member is pressurized, so that the first end 11 and the sealing member are jointed more tightly. After the joint of the first end 11 and the sealing member is cooled, the adhesive at the joint of the first end 11 and the sealing member will solidify and fixedly connect the first end 11 and the sealing member due to the evaporation of moisture. Compared with the heating and pressurizing process, after the heating and pressurizing process, the first end 11 is tightly attached to the sealing element and is bonded more firmly. Specifically, for example, the time t for heating where the first end 11 is attached to the seal is: t is more than or equal to 5s and less than or equal to 8s, and the temperature T is as follows: t is more than or equal to 120 ℃ and less than or equal to 200 ℃, and the pressure P applied to the outer pipe body 10 is as follows: p is more than or equal to 100Pa and less than or equal to 300 Pa. Wherein, the heating time should not be too long, the heating temperature is not too high easily, the pressurization is not too large easily, and the damage to the outer tube body 10 and the sealing member is avoided. The heating time is not short enough, the heating temperature is not low enough, the pressurizing is not small enough, the heating of the binder is not sufficient, and therefore the first end 11 and the sealing member are prevented from being bonded firmly.
