Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
Generally, the flexible tube is made of a stainless steel material and is divided into a type having a spiral shape as shown in FIG. 1 and a type having one annular shape as shown in FIG. Spiral wrinkles are mainly used for pipe joints requiring simple bending (eg, 90 degree bending), and types consisting of annular wrinkles are used for stretching in various directions (eg, axial, Displacement etc.) absorption and pipe joint.
The flexible tube of the above-described type including the spiral wrinkle and the annular wrinkle is manufactured by a hydraulic manufacturing (hydroforming) method and a roll manufacturing (mold rotating manufacturing) method.
3, the conventional apparatus for manufacturing a flexible tube of the hydraulic manufacturing method has a structure in which the
In addition, the roll manufacturing method is a method in which a spiral or annular wrinkle is continuously processed while the tube passes through the rotary mold. This method allows the tube to pass through the rotary mold at a high speed, which is much higher than that of the hydraulic manufacturing method (see Patent Document 2).
4A to 4C, a
The flexible tube manufacturing apparatus of the roll manufacturing method as described above is advantageous in productivity as compared with the flexible tube manufacturing apparatus of the hydraulic manufacturing method described above.
In the case where the first wrinkle is produced in the tube passing through the rotary mold by the above method, the
If the conventional roll manufacturing method causes the tube to reach the required depth at once, the tube will become wrinkled. If the degree is too great, the tube will be subjected to stress exceeding the rigidity limit, A processing method capable of increasing the productivity through continuous processing of the
In addition, a long flexible tube machined continuously is cut to a required length and used. The thus cut flexible tube must have a tube end that is not corrugated to engage with other mechanical elements. Such a tube end is attached in such a manner that after the wrinkle is finished, the corrugated tube is cut to the required length and then the wrinkle-free tube, i.e., the tube end, is cut and welded to the required length.
Flexible tubes having such processed tube ends have been widely used in normal expansion and contraction piping, but when applied to a high pressure (for example, an air conditioner using a refrigerant operating at about 150 kg / m 2 or more), the stress There is a problem that the end of the corrugated portion and the welded portion of the tube end are damaged.
Conventionally, a method has been developed in which a separate adapter is welded to a corrugated tube in order to increase the coupling force with the corrugated tube and to easily connect the corrugated tube to the other machine elements, apart from the method of welding the corrugated tube to the corrugated tube. In the case of a flexible tube composed of wrinkles, the contact area between the ends of the wrinkles and the adapter is not uniform, so that welding is difficult. In the case of the
That is, since the heat applied to the upper portion of the
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an adapter for smoothly flowing a fluid while improving the productivity of the flexible tube, an adapter for coupling the end of the wrinkle to another mechanical element, Tube, a manufacturing method thereof, and an apparatus therefor.
