Corrugated pipe connecting arrangement and corrugated pipe
Corrugated pipe connecting arrangement and corrugated pipe
The present invention relates to a corrugated pipe connecting arrangement comprising a corrugated pipe with corrugations extended transverse to its longitudinal axis, which can be arranged at substantially identical distances from each other, wherein said corrugated pipe is formed with a one-piece plain region at at least one end, said plain region comprising an abutment section, and can engage with a connecting element which may be merged with said plain region and said abutment section.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field
The invention relates to corrugated pipes and corrugated pipe connecting arrangements. The corrugated pipe connecting arrangement comprises a corrugated pipe with corrugations extended transverse to its longitudinal axis, which can be arranged at substantially identical distances from each other, said plastic pallet comprising at least one end region. The invention further relates to a plastic corrugated pipe connecting arrangemen
2. Description of the Related Art
Many and various areas of use for corrugated pipes are known in the prior art. stackable plastic containers are now used as jet water conduits, for transporting jet water from a storage tank within a motor vehicle to an outlet nozzle. Such an application requires a connection which is highly resistant, even at higher pressures, and does not develop leaks at high pressure. To this end, connecting elements are often coiled onto corrugated or plain pipes and permanently connected to each other by radially pressing. The connecting elements must be made of a particular plastic, in order for instance to be fuel-resistant and to prevent the plastic from creeping, which can occur under mechanical stress and when permanently stressed could lead to leaks.
It is otherwise also necessary to connect corrugated pipes to each other in other specialist fields, be it without pressure or in applications in which pressures above atmospheric pressure occur. In any event, a number of connecting elements, fixing elements and the like are required.
In accordance with the prior art, it is consequently necessary to insert connecting elements into corrugated pipes in order to then be able to connect the corrugated pipe ends prepared in this way to standard commercial connectors.
It is clear that such a connecting arrangement is not only very costly but gives rise to sealing problems.
