Abstract

A sleeve (10) has a sleeve-shaped body (12) made of thermoplastic material for joining pipes (24) made of thermoplastic material. A heat conductor (18) is embedded in the sleeve body (12), close to its inner wall (14). A ring-shaped ridge (16) projects from the inner wall (14) of the sleeve body (12), acting as a stop and additional welding point for the front faces (26) of the pipes (24) to be joined. The heat conductor (18) also extends into the ridge (16). The pipes (24) are inserted into the sleeve body (12), with their front faces (26) turned towards each other, until they are stopped by the ring-shaped ridge (16). The sleeve body (12) and the ends of the pipes (24) covered by the sleeve body (12) are partially molten and welded together by supplying energy to the heat conductor (18). Thanks to the ridge, melting is uniform and welding is reliably achieved even with large-sized and thick-walled pipes.

Zum Verbinden von Rohrleitungsteilen aus thermoplastischen Werk­ stoffen sind sogenannte Elektro-Schweißmuffen der vorstehend erwähnten Art bekannt. Zum teilweisen Aufschmelzen und Verschweißen der zu verbindenden Teile ist im Bereich der Innenwand des hülsenförmigen Muffenkörpers üblicherweise ein elektrischer Widerstandsheizdraht in Form einer Wicklung angeordnet, in wel­ chem durch Zufuhr von elektrischer Energie eine dosierte, zum Verbinden der Teile ausreichende Wärmemenge erzeugt wird.For connecting pipe parts from a thermoplastic plant so-called electric welding sleeves of the above are substances known type known. For partial melting and welding the parts to be connected is in the area of the inner wall the sleeve-shaped sleeve body is usually an electrical one Resistance heating wire arranged in the form of a winding, in wel  chem dosed by supplying electrical energy to Connecting the parts sufficient amount of heat is generated.

Insbesondere bei dickwandigen Teilen und bei großen Dimensionen kann mit den bekannten Muffen ein gleichmäßiges Aufschmelzen und gesichertes Verschweißen im Bereich der Stirnseiten der zu verbindenden Rohrleitungsteile kaum erreicht werden.Especially for thick-walled parts and large dimensions can with the known sleeves a uniform melting and secure welding in the area of the front of the connecting pipe parts can hardly be reached.

Angesichts dieser Gegebenheiten hat sich der Erfinder die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Muffe der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, mit welcher auch dickwandige Rohrleitungsteile im Bereich ihrer Stirnflächen einwandfrei verschweißt werden können.In view of these circumstances, the inventor has the task asked to create a sleeve of the type mentioned at the beginning with which also thick-walled pipe parts in the area of their End faces can be welded perfectly.

Zur erfindungsgemäßen Lösung der Aufgabe führt, daß von der Innenwand des Muffenkörpers ein ringförmiger Steg als Anschlag und zusätzliche Schweißstelle für die Stirnflächen der Rohrlei­ tungsteile abragt und der Heizleiter sich auch in den Steg er­ streckt.To achieve the object of the invention leads that Inner wall of the sleeve body an annular web as a stop and additional welding point for the end faces of the Rohrlei protruding parts and the heating element is also in the web stretches.

Unter Rohrleitungsteilen werden hier alle im Rohrleitungsbau verwendeten Elemente wie Rohrstücke, Formstücke, Ventile und andere Werkstücke verstanden, die zylinderförmige, durch eine Muffe verbindbare Enden aufweisen. Der Muffenkörper und die mit diesem zu verbindenden Rohrleitungsteile sind aus dem gleichen oder einem ähnlichen bzw. verwandten thermoplastischen Kunststoff gefertigt. Geeignete Werkstoffe sind u. a. PVDF, PFA, PPS, PE, PB, PP, FEP, PVC und ABS.Pipeline parts are all here in pipeline construction used elements such as pipe pieces, fittings, valves and understood other workpieces, the cylindrical, by a Socket have connectable ends. The sleeve body and the with this pipe parts to be connected are from the same or a similar or related thermoplastic manufactured. Suitable materials include a. PVDF, PFA, PPS, PE, PB, PP, FEP, PVC and ABS.

Der Heizleiter kann als Widerstandsheizdraht aus beispielsweise Kupfer, Edelstahl, Silber oder auch aus elektrisch leitendem Kunststoff bestehen und wird bevorzugt in Form von Windungen bzw. einer Wicklung eingesetzt.The heating conductor can, for example, be a resistance heating wire Copper, stainless steel, silver or even from electrically conductive Plastic exist and is preferably in the form of turns or a winding used.

Die erfindungsgemäße Muffe ermöglicht einen direkten Wärmeüber­ gang in die Stirnflächen der Rohrleitungsteile und durch Auf­ schmelzen des Steges sowie der angrenzenden Rohrenden ergibt sich eine optimale Verschweißung dieser Partien.The sleeve according to the invention enables direct heat transfer in the end faces of the pipeline parts and by opening  melting of the web and the adjacent pipe ends results an optimal welding of these parts.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Muffe entspricht die Höhe des Steges der Wandstärke der Rohrlei­ tungsteile, d. h. die Innenflächen der Rohrleitungsteile fluchten mit der Innenfläche des Steges.In a preferred embodiment of the invention The socket height corresponds to the wall thickness of the pipe parts, d. H. the inner surfaces of the pipe parts are aligned with the inner surface of the web.

Als Schmelzanzeiger können im Muffenkörper radial nach innen gerichtete, in den Bereich der Innenwand und in den Steg geführte Ausnehmungen, z. B. Bohrungen, angeordnet sein.As a melt indicator, radially inwards in the sleeve body directed into the area of the inner wall and into the web Recesses, e.g. B. holes can be arranged.

Zum Verbinden von Rohrleitungsteilen mit einer Muffe werden jeweils zwei Rohrleitungsteile mit gegeneinander gerichteten Stirnflächen bis zum Anschlag mit dem ringförmigen Steg in den Muffenkörper eingeschoben und der Muffenkörper sowie die von ihm übergriffenen Enden der Rohrleitungsteile durch Energiezufuhr in den Heizleiter teilweise aufgeschmolzen und miteinander verschweißt.For connecting pipe parts with a socket two pipe sections with each other facing each other End faces up to the stop with the annular web in the Inserted sleeve body and the sleeve body and that of him overlapped ends of the pipeline parts by supplying energy in partially melted the heat conductor and welded it together.

Eine wulst- und nutfreie innere Oberfläche an der Verbindungs­ stelle der Rohrleitungsteile kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß im Bereich des Muffenkörpers eine Blase in die Rohrleitungsteile eingeschoben und während des Aufschmelz- und Verschweißvorgangs durch Druckluftbeaufschlagung an die Innenflächen der Rohrlei­ tungsteile und des Steges angelegt wird.A bead and groove-free inner surface on the connection place of the pipeline parts can be achieved in that a bubble in the pipe parts in the area of the socket body inserted and during the melting and welding process by applying compressed air to the inner surfaces of the pipe parts and the web is created.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausfüh­ rungsbeispiels sowie anhand der Zeichnung; diese zeigt in ihrer einzigen Figur schematisch einen Längsschnitt durch eine Muffe mit zwei eingeschobenen Rohrleitungsteilen.Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the following description of a preferred embodiment example and based on the drawing; this shows in her single figure schematically shows a longitudinal section through a sleeve with two inserted pipe parts.

Eine Muffe 10 weist einen Muffenkörper 12 aus einem thermoplasti­ schen Kunststoff auf, von dessen Innenwand 14 mittig ein ringför­ miger Steg 16 abragt.A sleeve 10 has a sleeve body 12 made of a thermoplastic plastic, from the inner wall 14 of which a ring-shaped web 16 projects in the middle.

Im Muffenkörper 12 ist nahe der Innenwand 14 und im ringförmigen Steg 16 ein Widerstandsheizdraht 18 in Form von Windungen einge­ bettet. Der Heizdraht 18 ist mit Anschlußstiften 20 versehen, die aus dem Muffenkörper 12 herausragen und zur Energiezufuhr an eine elektrische Stromquelle angeschlossen werden können. Zur visuellen Überprüfung des Schmelzvorganges sind im Muffenkörper 12 radial nach innen gerichtete und in den Anschmelzbereich geführte Bohrungen als Schmelzanzeiger angeordnet.In the sleeve body 12 near the inner wall 14 and in the annular web 16, a resistance heating wire 18 in the form of turns is embedded. The heating wire 18 is provided with connecting pins 20 which protrude from the sleeve body 12 and can be connected to an electrical power source for the supply of energy. For visual inspection of the melting process are arranged in the socket body 12 radially inwardly directed and guided in the melting range as the melting bores indicator.

Zwei miteinander zu verbindende Rohrleitungsteile 24 sind bis zum Anschlag mit dem ringförmigen Steg 16 in den Muffenkörper 12 eingeschoben. Die Höhe h des ringförmigen Steges 16 entspricht der Wandstärke d der Rohrleitungsteile 24, so daß deren Innenflä­ chen mit der Innenfläche 17 des Steges 16 fluchten.Two pipe parts 24 to be connected to one another are pushed as far as possible with the annular web 16 into the sleeve body 12 . The height h of the annular web 16 corresponds to the wall thickness d of the pipeline parts 24 , so that their Innenflä surfaces are aligned with the inner surface 17 of the web 16 .

Im Innern der zu verbindenden Rohrteile 24 ist im Bereich des Muffenkörpers 12 eine mit Druckluft beaufschlagbare Blase 28 aus einem elastischen Material angedeutet. Diese liegt im druckbeauf­ schlagten Zustand der Innenfläche der beiden Rohrleitungsteile 24 und der Innenfläche 17 des Steges 16 stützend an. Mit dieser Maßnahme wird verhindert, daß sich im Stoßbereich der Stirn­ flächen 26 und des ringförmigen Steges 16 Wulste oder Nuten ausbilden können. Nach erfolgter Erstarrung im Schmelzbereich wird die Blase 28 druckentlastet und aus dem System entfernt.In the interior of the pipe parts 24 to be connected , in the area of the socket body 12, a bladder 28 made of an elastic material can be pressurized with compressed air. This is in the pressurized state of the inner surface of the two pipe parts 24 and the inner surface 17 of the web 16 for support.
