The invention has the advantages and beneficial effects that:
1. the connection strength is high.
The glass fiber circumferential layer is used for applying prestress to the circular tube and the metal ring which are relatively weak in the inner part, so that structural stress of the circular tube and the metal ring in the service process is reduced, and the strength safety margin of the connecting part is improved. The glass fiber angle layer is used for enhancing the axial rigidity of the connecting part of the metal ring and the circular pipe spigot, and can effectively reduce structural damage of the circular pipe made of the composite material caused by middle bending in the service process. The carbon fiber circumferential layer has larger thickness and proper winding tension, can effectively protect all parts such as the inner circular tube, the metal circular ring, the glass fiber composite material layer and the like, and improves the integral strength reliability of the connecting parts.
2. The sealing performance is good. In the invention, the outer side of the round pipe spigot and the inner side of the metal ring of the composite material form a sealing surface, and the sealing surface has high enough contact pressure under the action of high-tension winding of glass fiber so as to achieve good sealing effect. The shoulder of the metal ring can limit the axial displacement of the metal ring of the round tube made of the composite material under a complex load environment, prevent the structure from loosening, prolong the length of a potential air leakage channel and further improve the tightness of the connecting part.
3. The assembly process is good. In the invention, the shoulder of the metal ring is used for bearing axial assembly force in the assembly process, so that the stress on the relatively weak annular corrugation of the metal ring is avoided, and the assembly effect is ensured. The long spigot of the circular tube can effectively increase the matching area of the metal circular ring and the circular tube, is favorable for axial guiding during plug-in assembly, and further improves the integral straightness and coaxiality of the assembled connecting part.

Example 2:
A method for forming a flexible connection structure of a thin-walled circular tube made of composite materials comprises the following steps:
s101, gluing the seam allowance of the round tube 2, sleeving one section of the round tube 2 on a core die, pushing the shoulder 3 of the metal ring 1 through an auxiliary clamp, gluing the metal ring 1 on the seam allowance of the round tube 2 in an interference fit mode, and pushing another section of the round tube 2 on the core die;

Application example 1:
A flexible connection structure prepared using the flexible connection structure molding method of the composite material thin-walled round tube in example 2, wherein:
The selected size parameters of the round tube 2 are that the spigot length is 400mm and the wall thickness is 5mm;
the shoulder 3 is selected with the dimension parameters of 80mm in length and 8mm in wall thickness;
Parameters of the glass fiber circumferential layer 4 are thickness 2mm, winding 10 layers, and winding tension of each layer is 86N/85N/84N/82N/81N/80N/79N/78N/77N/76N;
parameters of the glass fiber angle layer 5 are thickness 1mm, angle 70 degrees and winding tension 60N;
The parameters of the carbon fiber circumferential layer 6 are that the thickness is 5mm, the winding tension of each layer is 172N/172N/164N/156N/148N/140N/133N/125N/118N/111N/104N/97N/84N/77N/71N/65N/58N/52N/46N.
According to the above example, under the normal use condition of the composite material thin-wall round tube, a flexible connection structure is adopted, and the advantages are that:
(1) The connection strength is higher. The torsional failure load limit of the above examples may be increased by about 20% and the tensile failure load limit may be increased by about 40% over conventional butt-joint, shouldereless, or fiber-free high tension wound connection structures. The metal ring 1 and the round tube 2 can additionally obtain about 250MPa of prestress, and meanwhile, the residual tension of each layer of the glass fiber composite material is equal to about 50N, and the residual tension of each layer of the carbon fiber composite material is equal to about 40N. And the residual tension can effectively improve the load of the first layer failure under the working state of the connecting part. The above example has higher connection strength than the conventional connection structure.
(2) The sealing performance is better. Compared with the traditional butt joint structure, the shouldereless structure or the connection structure without fiber and large-tension winding, under the test of the helium mass spectrometer leak detector, the vacuum single-point leak rate of the above example can be improved from 10 -4Pa·m3/s to more than 10 - 6Pa·m3/s, and the use requirement of a more severe vacuum sealing environment can be met.
(3) The assembly manufacturability is better. Compared with the traditional butt joint structure, the shouldereless structure or the connection structure wound by the fiber under large tension, the assembly with larger interference magnitude of more than 0.5mm can be met by the above example, and the annular corrugation of the relatively weak metal round tube in the assembly process is ensured not to be deformed or even damaged greatly.
In summary, the invention provides a flexible connection structure of a thin-walled circular tube made of a composite material and a forming method thereof.
The foregoing examples illustrate the invention in detail, but are merely preferred embodiments of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
