When the interface distance is different, the sealing ring 18 can be adjusted. The number of layers is different to adapt to the connection firmness and sealing of the two plastic pipes.

Of course, some flaring devices have also been disclosed in previous patent documents, but the inventor has paid a huge amount of creative work and developed a more suitable device by himself, which is used to realize the flaring of the plastic pipe 19, especially for The double-layer plastic pipe commonly used at present, because two-layer inside and outside the double-layer plastic pipe has different components, its softening temperature is different, if adopt same kind of temperature to control the softening of plastic pipe 19 ends, then there will be double-layer plastic pipe in combination. Layers produce internal stress, resulting in delamination or rupture, affecting the normal use of the plastic pipe 19.

Before the end of the plastic pipe 19 is softened, a supporting device is first placed in the plastic pipe 19. The first purpose is to increase the rigidity of the plastic pipe 19 to avoid deformation of the end of the plastic pipe 19 during the operation. The mouth device is a point of leverage. For the above two purposes, the structure of the support device used by the inventor has also been carefully studied, and the traditional concept of using a backing ring as a support has been changed. The support device of the present invention includes a columnar support body 7, and the support body 7 is provided with Axially extending and passing through the first slideway of the support body 7, the cross-sectional shape of the first slideway is square, and a slider 9 is slidably installed in the first slideway, and the support body 7 is provided with two oppositely arranged and radially extending The second slideway, the second slideway is connected to the first slideway, and the contact 14 is slidably installed in each second slideway, one end of the contact 14 is against the slider 9, and the surface of the slide block 9 and the contact 14 is against For pushing the contact 14 to the wedge-shaped surface of the plastic pipe 19, the other end protrudes from the support body 7, the outer surface of the support body 7 is covered with a pressure ring 8, the pressure ring 8 is fixedly installed on the support body 7, the contact 14 Stretch out pressure ring 8 and be provided with first return spring 13 between contact 14 and pressure ring 8; The second blocking block 11 is all fixedly installed on the support body 7, and a screw rod 20 is threaded on the first blocking block 10, and one end of the screw rod 20 leans against the slide block 9, and the other end stretches out from the bell mouth, and the second blocking block 11 and A second return spring 12 is clamped between the sliders 9 , an annular protrusion is provided on the end surface of the second blocking block 11 , and the end of the second return spring 12 is sleeved on the annular protrusion.

With the flared outer body in this way, the outer heating element 5 is generally arranged not in a surrounding arrangement, but along the extension direction of the outer body monomer 2, so that it is not necessary to reassemble and disassemble the outer heating element during disassembly and assembly. 5. Further save maintenance time.

Similarly, the flaring device can also be designed in other forms, for example, the outer body monomer 2 is connected to the flaring inner body 1 through fasteners, but this operation is a little complicated, and disassembly and installation are time-consuming and laborious.

As another ingenious idea of the present invention, each outer body monomer 2 is provided with an outer support part 3, and the outer support part 3 extends out of the flared inner body 1 away from the direction of the trumpet-shaped cavity, and the outer support part 3 and the flared outer body Set as a whole, the outer support part 3 not only played the supporting role before the softening of the plastic pipe 19, but after the plastic tube 19 softened, when the flared inner body 1 was rotated, the outer support part 3 also played a holding role, and the outer support part 3 would harden Quality plastic pipe 19 wraps up, has provided enough supporting force.
