In an embodiment, in step S20, in the step of plasticizing the material by heating of the plasticizing extrusion system, the plasticizing extrusion system may be divided into six zones for heating. Specifically, along the advancing direction of the material, the plasticizing extrusion system is sequentially divided into a feeding area, a melting area, a first homogenizing area, a second homogenizing area, a third homogenizing area and a joint area, wherein the feeding area, the melting area, the first homogenizing area, the second homogenizing area, the third homogenizing area and the joint area are different in temperature. In one embodiment, the heating temperature of the feed zone is 215 ℃ to 220 ℃; the heating temperature of the melting zone is 220-225 ℃; the heating temperature of the first homogenizing zone is 225-230 ℃; the heating temperature of the second homogenizing zone is 230-235 ℃; the heating temperature of the third homogenizing zone is 235-240 ℃; the heating temperature of the joint area is 240-245 ℃.

In one embodiment, the step of extruding the plasticized material into the molding system includes starting the motor 10 to drive the push rod 60 to reciprocate linearly, and extruding the plasticized material by the push rod 60.

In an embodiment, the extrusion structure may be a main mold in the above ultra-high molecular polyethylene pipe production equipment, step S40. The step of extruding the plasticized material in the plasticizing extrusion system into a space between a core mold and a forming pipe mold of the forming system through the extrusion structure further comprises the step of heating the extrusion structure at constant temperature in two zones to ensure that the material is formed at a certain viscosity. Specifically, along the direction that the material gos forward, the extrusion structure divide into first temperature zone and second temperature zone in proper order. In one embodiment, the first temperature zone is 240 ℃ to 245 ℃ and the second temperature zone is 235 ℃ to 240 ℃.

In one embodiment, the extrusion structure forms an annular conical channel, the tip of the annular conical channel faces the plasticizing extrusion system, and the plasticized material is extruded into a position between a core mold and a forming pipe mold of the forming system in a conical split flow mode through the annular conical channel. In one embodiment, the taper of the conical shunt may be 50 degrees to 55 degrees. For example, the main mold as the extrusion structure comprises an outer mold sleeve and a diverging cone sleeved inside the outer mold sleeve, and the annular tapered channel is formed between the outer mold sleeve and the diverging cone.

In the step S60, the cooling temperature of 55-85 ℃ is provided by a cooling device, so that the outer wall and the inner wall of the formed pipe are simultaneously cooled and shaped, and the temperature of the cooling medium in the cooling device is 55-85 ℃.

Preferably, the outer wall and the inner wall of the formed pipe are cooled and shaped at the same speed by controlling the temperature of the first cooling element and the second cooling element.

The manufacturing method further includes step S70 and step S80:

s80, pulling the pipe out of the forming die through the pulling force of the pulling device, adjusting the brake block to clamp the pipe, and adjusting the tolerance of the outer diameter of the pipe; and

and S90, measuring the length by using a caliper, and starting the cutting device to cut the pipe.

In the step S70, the magnitude of the traction pulling force is 594N-810N; the step of enabling the structure of the extruded finished product to be compact and adjusting the outer diameter tolerance of the pipe simultaneously comprises the steps of clamping the pipe by adjusting the tightness of a brake strip of a brake seat, and reducing the outer diameter tolerance of the pipe by adjusting the wall thickness and the eccentricity of the pipe by adjusting the tightness of a brake.
