Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an electro-

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an electric welding apparatus for a transfer tube for a fluid including a chemical substance for connecting a chemical material pipe, a gas pipe, a water pipe, or a synthetic pipe used for other purposes.

In order to obtain a perfect airtightness in joining a pipe made of a material such as a polyethylene pipe or a polypropylene which is used for a gas pipe, a water pipe or other purposes, a heat fusion method has been basically used.

Conventional heat welding methods include Butt Fusion Welding, Heat Fusion Socket Welding, and Electro Fusion Socket Welding.

The butt fusion method is a so-called butt welding method in which different pipe cross sections and cross sections are butted against each other without using a separate connection socket to join the pipes to each other, The surface to be melt-bonded is subjected to a surface treatment, the hot plate is placed therebetween, and the pipe joining section is pressurized and adhered by hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure so that a suitable melting temperature (for example, the polyethylene material is around 210 ° C ), The hot plate is quickly removed, the both ends of the molten different pipes are pressed and adhered to each other, and after a certain period of time is maintained, they are cooled and solidified.

This method dissolves and adheres the pipe base material when joining different pipes, but it does not require a separate connection socket, but it is inconvenient to transport the heat fusion machine to the work site and the structure of the heat fusion machine is complicated and difficult to use have.

Next, in order to melt the inner diameter surface of the connecting socket and the outer diameter surface of the pipe, the inner diameter surface of the connecting socket and the outer diameter surface of the pipe are fused with each other. When the heating is completed, the outer surface of the pipe is fastly inserted into the inner diameter surface of the connection socket and the inner surface of the connection socket is quickly inserted into the connection socket.

Next, the electric socket heat welding method is a method of inserting a heat source such as a heating coil into an electric connection socket formed by injection molding, inserting a pipe to be welded, The inner diameter surface of the socket and the outer diameter surface of the pipe are simultaneously melted and joined.

At this time, as the heating coil, a copper wire or a copper alloy wire or a nichrome wire which maintains a certain electric resistance is used.

As a typical method for manufacturing such an electric connection socket, a coated electric resistance wire is wound in a coil shape, an electrical connection terminal is connected to the end, and the thermoplastic resin is injected and integrated by inserting the electric connection terminal into the injection mold.

Currently, electrical connection sockets are preferred by users due to their simplicity of operation, and various techniques relating to the heating elements of such electrical connection sockets have been developed.

However, in the current electric connection socket, in order to obtain airtightness or watertightness in the case of fusion bonding, there should be no impurities on the surface to be fusion bonded. When impurities are present, the impurities act as a kind of boundary layer, The melts placed on the glass are not bonded to each other, so that the bonding efficiency is lowered.

In consideration of this point, the surface to be fusion bonded is cleaned before bonding by fusion bonding, but in the case of fine thin film type impurities, complete cleaning is difficult.

In addition, bonding by fusion bonding is basically an important factor in the work in the state of applying a proper pressure, but in the case of the butt fusion method, the fusion bonding portion is pressed and adhered, Hydraulic or pneumatic). In the case of electric fusion, since the heating element is inserted in the inner circumferential surface of the joint pipe, only the pressure due to the natural expansion due to melting can be used, and artificial pressurization can not be considered.

Also, in order to utilize the pressure due to the natural expansion, the error between the inner circumferential surface of the electric fusion welding pipe and the outer peripheral surface of the synthetic pipe inserted into the electric fusion welding pipe must be small.

For example, Korean Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 10-2009-0130562 (published on Dec. 24, 2009) discloses a connecting pipe 10 having a cylindrical coupling socket 10 into which the ends of two pipes 18a and 18b to be connected are inserted, The outer side of the heating wire 12 disposed in the inside of the coupling socket 10 in the vicinity of the inner surface of the coupling tube socket 10 is embedded in the inner surface of the coupling tube socket 10, And a temperature sensor (20) is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the synthetic resin tube.

However, the conventional electric fusion welding hose for a synthetic resin pipe as shown in FIG. 1 has a problem in that the heating wire 12 embedded in the inner surface of the joint pipe socket 10 continues to fuse the end of one pipe and the end of the other pipe Since the heating wire 12 between the two pipes is exposed to the outside even after the fusion bonding of the two pipes is finished, the coating of the heating wire 12 exposed to the outside in the environment where the chemical is used There is a problem that the chemical leaks or leaks to the outside through the heating wire 12 as it is corroded.

In other words, there is a problem in that an electric fusion welding diaphragm for a conventional synthetic resin pipe can not be used in an environment in which a chemical substance is used, and therefore, a new type of fusion welding machine is required to be developed.

Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0130562 (published on December 24, 2009)
