Specification

DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to a blow moulded pipe, and a method for manufacturing the blow moulded pipe. The blow moulded pipe may be made of a plastic material and may be used for channelling a fluid. For example, the blow moulded pipe may be employed for channelling air or gas therethrough for an air intake system or a turbocharger of an internal combustion engine.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] A vehicle forms an inseparable part of our life and are employed for transportation of people and cargo. Attempts are being made to improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicles. For example, some metal components of the vehicle are replaced with light-weight material components, wherein the light-weight material can be a plastic. More specifically, various pipes, or tubes, or conduits employed for conveying fluids such as air, fuel, oil, etc., have been replaced by plastic pipes, or tubes, or conduits (referred to as pipe(s) hereinafter) thereby reducing the overall weight of the vehicle and hence improving fuel efficiency thereof.
[003] A typical pipe comprises a hollow tubular body made of plastic material and may have one or more open ends. The pipe may be made by any technique, for example, blow moulding. The one or more open ends of the pipe may be connected to sources and sinks of fluids to be conveyed therethrough. For example, a plastic pipe may be connected between an air filter system and air intake manifold of a vehicle. The ends of the plastic pipe are received in and connected to respective connectors at the air filter system and the air intake manifold and are further secured thereto using a clamp each.
[004] To avoid collapsing or breaking of the plastic pipe ends due to tightening force of the clamps, a metal ring, which serves as a reinforcement, is fitted at and around the one or more ends of the pipe. More specifically, the metal ring is securely fitted into the ends of the pipe. The metal ring provides enough strength to the ends of the pipe so that the ends can withstand the load or force exerted thereon due to tightening of the clamps.
[005] Reference is now made to FIG. 1, wherein FIG. 1 illustrates a flow chart (100) depicting steps involved in the conventional method for manufacturing a plastic pipe with a metal ring reinforcement fitted at and around ends thereof. Typically, the method of fitting the metal ring at and around the ends of the pipe includes the following steps:
[006] Step 1: The pipe comprising the one or more open ends is manufactured by regular blow moulding process employing a blow mouldable plastic material and a suitable mould (102).
[007] Step 2: The blow moulded pipe so obtained in the step 1 is then allowed to cool for a time of about 24 hours (104).
[008] Step 3: The cooled pipe is now processed further wherein the balloon is cut (106).
[009] Step 4: The pipe so obtained in the step 3 is then bored at ends thereof creating a space for the placement of the metal ring therein (108).
[0010] Step 5: The ends of the pipe are heated to a predetermined temperature to soften the portion of the pipe at and around the end(s) thereof (110).
[0011] Step 6: A metal ring having suitable dimensions is pressed fitted into the heated softened ends and the pipe is then allowed to cool (112).
[0012] However, the above-mentioned method of fitting the metal ring is observed to have several disadvantages.
[0013] One disadvantage of the conventional method is that an additional step of boring the pipe ends is required.
[0014] Another disadvantage of the conventional method is that there is bulging of the pipe due to fitment of the metal ring. The word “bulging” herein includes deformation of the pipe or ends thereof, which may result in change in diameter and/or ovality of the pipe.
[0015] Still another disadvantage of the conventional method is that the pipe may crack rending it unusable.
[0016] Yet another disadvantage of the conventional method is that the cost of manufacturing the pipe with the metal rings fitted at and around ends thereof increases due to the additional time-consuming steps of boring, and pipe heating.
[0017] Another disadvantage of the conventional method is that the powder coating on the metal ring peels off during the fitment process.
[0018] Another disadvantage of the conventional method is that the during the step of boring plastic burr is generated which needs to be cleaned off.
[0019] Another disadvantage of the conventional method is that the metal ring may protrude outside the pipe or may be loosely fitted. It is necessary to have skilled operators to prevent the problems of protrusion and loose-fitting of the metal ring.
[0020] Further, for the pipes with the metal rings fitted therein, manufactured using the conventional method a high rejection rate is observed due to the above-mentioned problems or disadvantages. This results in loss of productivity, time, and money.
[0021] Therefore, there is an urgent need for providing a suitable alternative to the conventional method of manufacturing the pipe with the metal ring fitted thereto. There is also a need for eliminating the metal ring fitment and provide a pie with reinforced ends which can withstand load or force of clamping.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0022] Some of the objects of the presently disclose invention, of which at the minimum one object is fulfilled by at least one embodiment disclosed herein, are as follows:
[0023] An object of the present invention is to provide an alternative, which overcomes at least one drawback encountered in the existing prior art.
[0024] Another object of the present invention is to provide a plastic moulded pipe which is sturdy, especially at ends, does not collapse when clamps are secured to ends thereof and/or crack.
[0025] Still another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a plastic moulded pipe using a blow moulding process, wherein the method eliminates need for insertion of a metallic ring at the end of the metallic pipe.
[0026] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a plastic moulded pipe using a blow moulding process, wherein the method is economic, has reduced time span, does not require the steps of cooling, and then reheating for fixing the metallic ring, does not require the step of machining, and other related problems mentioned herein above
