Therefore, the above-mentioned terminologies shall not be interpreted as confine to the present invention.

[0030] Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, an anti-aging pipe 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated, wherein the anti-aging pipe 1 has good anti-aging performance and good strength performance. In detail, the anti-aging pipe 1 includes an anti-aging layer 10 and a reinforcing layer 20, wherein the anti-aging layer 10 is made of an anti-aging material, the anti-aging layer 10 and the reinforcing layer 20 are integrally formed, and the reinforcing layer 20 is covered by the anti-aging layer 10. The reinforcing layer 20 mainly functions to reinforce the strength of the anti-aging pipe 1.

[0031] It is understood that the anti-aging pipe 1 may be a rigid pipe or a flexible pipe, and in this embodiment, the anti-aging pipe 1 is a flexible pipe. The anti-aging material is formed by mixing a pipe matrix material with a rare earth material.

[0032] The pipe matrix material may be selected from any one of the following materials: polyamide fibers, nylon (PA) and nylon-based synthetic fibers, PVC polyvinyl chloride, PUR polyurethane, EPDM, NBR acrylonitrile butadiene copolymer/nitrile, CR neoprene, UPE/XLPE cross-linked polyethylene, UPE ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, Polyurethane (PU), polyethylene Plastic (PE), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer (ABS), unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC), post chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), polypropylene (PP), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).

[0033] The rare earth material can be a rare earth oxide material, a rare earth salt material, a rare earth metal material or a mixture of the rare earth oxide material, the rare earth salt material and the rare earth metal material.

[0034] By way of example, the rare earth material may be selected from SrCO.sub.3 (Strontium Carbonate) and Dy.sub.2O.sub.3 Dysprosium Oxide and Er.sub.2O.sub.3 (Erbium Oxide) and Nd.sub.2O.sub.3 (Neodymium Oxide), Y.sub.2O.sub.3 (Yttrium Oxide), Eu.sub.2O.sub.3 (Europium Oxide) BaMg.sub.2Al.sub.16O.sub.27, Ce.sub.0.67Tb.sub.0.33Al.sub.11O.sub.19, CeMgAl.sub.11O.sub.19, LaPO.sub.4, Y.sub.2SiO.sub.5, ReMg.sub.5BO.sub.10 and SrAl.sub.2O.sub.4 one or more of them.

[0035] For example, the rare earth element may be one selected from lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd), promethium (Pm), samarium (Sm), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy), holmium (Ho), erbium (Er), thulium (Tm), ytterbium (Yb), lutetium (Lu), scandium (Sc), and yttrium (Y).

[0036] The preparation process of the anti-aging pipe 1 can be as follows: firstly, rare earth materials are mixed into a pipe matrix material, the rare earth materials and the pipe matrix material are in a fluid state or a molten state at a certain temperature, and then the anti-aging layer 10 coated with the reinforcing layer 20 is integrally formed outside the reinforcing layer 20, wherein the mass proportion of the rare earth materials is not more than 40%.

[0037] The preparation of the anti-aging layer 10 of the anti-aging pipe 1 is very simple, and only a pipe matrix material and a rare earth material need to be simply mixed on the basis of the original pipe manufacturing. It is understood that a person skilled in the art may control the timing of mixing the rare earth material and the pipe matrix material as required, and then make the pipe matrix material and the rare earth material mixed with each other form the anti-aging layer 10 of the anti-aging pipe 1 under certain conditions.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that the requirement of the anti-aging pipe 1 on the mixing uniformity of the pipe matrix material and the rare earth material is not high, and the two materials can be simply mixed. When the mixing uniformity of the rare earth material and the pipe matrix material is good, the rare earth material is distributed on the outer wall, the inner part and the inner wall of the anti-aging layer 10.

[0039] The reinforcing layer 20 may be prepared in advance, and may be a net structure made of metal or other materials, such as high-strength fibers, so that the structural strength of the anti-aging layer 10 can be enhanced.

[0040] The anti-aging pipe 1 is formed with a transmission channel 100, and the transmission channel 100 extends from one end of the anti-aging pipe 1 to the other end to penetrate through the anti-aging pipe 1, wherein materials can be transmitted through the transmission channel 100. The reinforcing layer 20 may be coated with the anti-aging layer 10 so as not to be in direct contact with the contents of the transmission passage 100, to reduce damage of the reinforcing layer 20 made of metal by corrosive contents. In other words, the anti-aging layer 10 of the anti-aging pipe 1 may also play a role of protection for the reinforcing layer 20.

[0041] It is understood that the anti-aging pipe 1 may not include the reinforcing layer 20, that is, the entire anti-aging pipe 1 may be directly made of a pipe matrix material and a rare earth material, as shown in FIG. 3.

[0042] Further, the tensile test was performed with the anti-aging pipe 1 made of PU as a test object, wherein the pipe matrix material of the anti-aging pipe 1 is a polyurethane material, that is, a polyurethane material, wherein the rare earth material of the anti-aging pipe 1 is SrAl.sub.2O.sub.4 Eu-2+ and Dy-3+ of the rare earth salt have the functions of protecting the rare earth salt and promoting the absorption of ultraviolet rays.

[0043] The test procedure is roughly as follows: samples of 25 cm length with connectors at both ends are prepared and the pipe samples are then mounted on a tensile tester which is opened and the tension is gradually increased until the pipe breaks and the relevant value is recorded. All tests are completed at normal room temperature of 25? C., the particle size of the rare earth material added in the experimental group can be 1-50 ?m, and the rare earth with the specification of 7 ?m is added in the test. The PU pipe has a single-layer structure, and has an inner diameter of 6.35 mm and an outer diameter of 8.35 mm.

[0044] The test results are shown in the following table, wherein test group a is a control group to which the anti-aging material was not added, and wherein test group Aa is a test group to which the anti-aging material was added.

[0045] A-1-1, a-1-2, a-1-3 (non-UV-irradiated group), a-2-1, a-2-2, a-2-3 (UV-irradiated 2000-hour group), and a-3-1, a-3-2, a-3-3 (UV-irradiated 4000-hour group) in comparative test group A revealed that UV had a greater effect on the tensile strength of the pipe. The influence of the tensile strength of the pipe subjected to the ultraviolet irradiation is remarkably reduced, and the longer the irradiation time is, the greater the influence on the tensile strength property is.

[0046] Aa-1-1a, Aa-1-1b, Aa-1-1c (with addition of 3% rare earth material), Aa-1-2a, Aa-1-2b, Aa-1-2c (with addition of 6% rare earth material), Aa-1-3a, Aa-1-3b, Aa-1-3c (with addition of 9% rare earth material), Aa-2-1a, Aa-2-1b, Aa-2-1c (with addition of 3% rare earth material, ultraviolet irradiation 2000 hours), Aa-2-2a, Aa-2-2b, Aa-2-2c (with addition of 6% rare earth material, ultraviolet irradiation 2000 hours), Aa-2-3a, Aa-2-3b, comparison of Aa-2-3c (9% rare earth added, UV irradiation 2000 hours), Aa-3-1a, Aa-3-1b, Aa-3-1c (3% rare earth added, UV irradiation 4000 hours), Aa-3-2a, Aa-3-2b, Aa-3-2c (6% rare earth added, UV irradiation 4000 hours), Aa-3-3a, Aa-3-3b, Aa-3-3c (9% rare earth added, UV irradiation 4000 hours) with the data in comparative test group A revealed the following results.

[0047] Firstly, the tensile strength performance of the pipe is enhanced by adding the rare earth material, and the tensile strength performance of the pipe can be well improved no matter 3%, 6% or 9% is added.

[0048] Secondly, the ageing resistance of the pipeline is enhanced by adding the rare earth material, and if the rare earth material is not added, the tensile strength performance of the pipe is sharply reduced under ultraviolet irradiation. After the rare earth material is added, the tensile strength performance after 2000 hours or 4000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation is stronger than that of the pipe without the rare earth material.

[0049] Finally, as the amount added increases from 3% to 6% and then to 9%, the tensile strength properties and the aging resistance of the pipe are gradually enhanced.

[0050] Further, the anti-aging pipe 1 made of PVC is used as a test object for tensile test, namely, the anti-aging pipe is made of a polyvinyl chloride material and a polyvinyl chloride material which are used as pipe matrix materials, and the rare earth material is a rare earth salt material-SrAl.sub.2O.sub.4 Eu-2+ and Dy-3+ of the anti-aging pipe 1. In addition, the anti-aging pipe 1 is manufactured as a PVC yarn wrapping pipe. The reinforcing layer 20 of the anti-aging pipe 1 is a yarn material.

[0051] The testing process is substantially similar to that of the PU pipe and will not be described in detail herein. All tests are completed at normal room temperature of 25? C., the grain diameter of the rare earth material added in the experimental group can be 5-10 ?m, and the test is added with rare earth with 7 ?m specification. The PVC pipe is a braided pipe and has an inner diameter of 9 mm and an outer diameter of 14.5 mm.

[0052] The test results are shown in the following table, wherein test group B is a control group to which no anti-aging material was added, and wherein test group Bb is a test group to which an anti-aging material was added.

[0053] In comparative test group B, B-1-1a, B-1-2B, B-1-3c (non-UV-irradiated group), B-2-1a, B-2-2B, B-2-3c (UV-irradiated 2000-hour group), and B-3-1a, B-3-2B, B-3-3c (UV-irradiated 4000-hour group), it was found that UV rays had a large influence on the tensile strength of the pipe. The tensile strength effect of the pipe subjected to ultraviolet irradiation is significantly reduced, and the longer the irradiation time, the greater the effect on the tensile strength properties. The ultraviolet irradiation experiment was performed at an ultraviolet wavelength of approximately 350 nm. It is noted that the pipes with rare earth materials added have better aging resistance under the ultraviolet irradiation test of 250 nm-400 nm, and the ultraviolet ray with the wavelength of 350 nm is taken as an example.

[0054] Bb-1-1a, Bb-1-1b, Bb-1-1c (with 3% rare earth material added), Bb-1-2a, Bb-1-2b, Bb-1-2c (with 3% rare earth material added, with ultraviolet irradiation for 2000 hours), Bb-1-3a, Bb-1-3b, Bb-1-3c (with 3% rare earth material added, with ultraviolet irradiation for 4000 hours), Bb-2-1a, Bb-2-1b, Bb-2-1c (with 6% rare earth material added), Bb-2-2a, Bb-2-2b, Bb-2-2c (with 6% rare earth material added, with ultraviolet irradiation for 2000 hours), Bb-2-3a, Bb-2-3b, bb-2-3c (6% rare earth added, 4000 hours UV), Bb-3-1a, Bb-3-1B, Bb-3-1c (9% rare earth added), Bb-3-2a, Bb-3-2B, Bb-3-2c (9% rare earth added, 2000 hours UV), Bb-3-3a, Bb-3-3B, Bb-3-3c (9% rare earth added, 4000 hours UV) and comparative test group B, it can be concluded with the following conclusions.

[0055] Firstly, the tensile strength performance of the pipe is enhanced by adding the rare earth material, and the tensile strength performance of the pipe can be well improved no matter 3%, 6% or 9% is added.

[0056] And secondly, the ageing resistance of the pipeline is enhanced by adding the rare earth material, and if the rare earth material is not added, the tensile strength of the pipeline is sharply reduced under ultraviolet irradiation. After the rare earth material is added, the tensile strength performance after 2000 hours or 4000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation is stronger than that of the original pipe without the rare earth material.

[0057] Finally, the tensile strength and the ageing resistance of the pipe are gradually enhanced as the addition amount is increased from 6% to 9%, and the ageing resistance increased by 3% and 6% is similar.

[0058] Further, it is to be noted that the pipe matrix material of the anti-aging pipe 1 may be mixed with some auxiliary agents such as coloring agents, antioxidants, plasticizers, and the like. In addition, the transmittance of the anti-aging layer 10 of the anti-aging pipe 1 may range from 0% to 100%.

[0059] Further, the anti-aging pipe 1 made of PU is used as a test object for carrying out blasting test, namely, the anti-aging pipe is made of polyurethane material and polyurethane material as pipe matrix material, and the rare earth material is rare earth salt material-SrAl.sub.2O.sub.4 Eu-2+ and Dy-3+ of the anti-aging pipe 1.

[0060] The test procedure is roughly as follows: three sections of 45 cm-long test articles are prepared for each sample, then copper connectors are arranged at two ends of the test article of the pipe, a plug is arranged at one end, and the other end is connected with a high-pressure (water pressure) tester. Then slowly increasing the pressure, and closing the valve after the air in the pipe is exhausted. The pressure was increased at a rate of about 70 bar/min until the pipe burst and the burst pressure was recorded. All tests were done at normal room temperature 25? C., the particle size of the rare earth material added in the experimental group could be 5-10 ?m, 7 ?m was added in this test. The PU pipe had a single-layer structure, and had an inner diameter of 6.35 mm and an outer diameter of 8.35 mm.

[0061] The test results are shown in the following table, in which test group C is a control group to which no anti-aging material is added, and test group Cc is an experimental group to which an anti-aging material is added.

[0062] The comparative test group C, C-1-1, C-1-2, C-1-3 (non-UV-irradiated group), C-2-1, C-2-2, C-2-3 (UV-irradiated 2000-hour group), and C-3-1, C-3-2, C-3-3 (UV-irradiated 4000-hour group) showed that the UV-rays had a large effect on the strength of the pipe. The intensity effect of the pipe subjected to ultraviolet irradiation is significantly reduced, and the longer the irradiation time is, the greater the effect on the intensity performance is.

[0063] Cc-1-1a, Cc-1-1b, Cc-1-1c (with 3% rare earth added), Cc-1-2a, Cc-1-2b, Cc-1-2c (with 6% rare earth added), Cc-1-3a, Cc-1-3b, Cc-1-3c (with 9% rare earth added), Cc-2-1a, Cc-2-1b, Cc-2-1c (with 3% rare earth added, for 2000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation), Cc-2-2a, Cc-2-2b, Cc-2-2c (with 6% rare earth added, for 2000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation), Cc-2-3a, Cc-2-3b, Cc-2-3C (9% rare earth added, UV irradiation 2000 hours), Cc-3-1a, Cc-3-1b, Cc-3-1C (3% rare earth added, UV irradiation 4000 hours), Cc-3-2a, Cc-3-2b, Cc-3-2C (6% rare earth added, UV irradiation 4000 hours), Cc-3-3a, Cc-3-3b, Cc-3-3C (9% rare earth added, UV irradiation 4000 hours) and comparative test set C, it can be concluded with the following conclusions.

[0064] Firstly, the addition of rare earth materials enhances the compressive strength performance of the pipeline, and the strength performance of the pipe can be well improved no matter 3%, 6% or 9% of the rare earth materials are added. When the amount of the rare earth added is 9%, the burst strength performance is improved by 50% relative to the state of no addition.

[0065] Secondly, the ageing resistance of the pipeline is enhanced by adding the rare earth material, and if the rare earth material is not added, the compressive strength of the pipe is sharply reduced under ultraviolet irradiation. After the rare earth material is added, the compressive strength performance after 2000 hours or 4000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation is stronger than that of the original pipe without the rare earth material.

[0066] Finally, as the amount added increases from 3% to 6% and then to 9%, the compressive strength properties and the anti-aging properties of the pipe are gradually enhanced.

[0067] Furthermore, the anti-aging pipe 1 made of PVC is taken as a test object for blasting test, namely the pipe is made of polyvinyl chloride material and polyvinyl chloride material which are taken as pipe matrix materials, and the rare earth material is rare earth material-SrAl.sub.2O.sub.4 Eu-2+ and Dy-3+ of the anti-aging pipe 1. The anti-aging pipe 1 is manufactured as a PVC yarn-covered pipe. The reinforcing layer 20 of the anti-aging pipe 1 is a yarn material.

[0068] The testing process is substantially similar to the above-mentioned PU pipe, and reference is made to the above description, which is not repeated herein. The testing process is substantially similar to that of the PU pipe and will not be described in detail herein. All tests are completed at normal room temperature of 25? C., the particle size of the rare earth material added in the experimental group can be 1-50 ?m, and the rare earth with the specification of 7 ?m is added in the test. The PVC pipe is a braided pipe and has an inner diameter of 9 mm and an outer diameter of 14.5 mm.

[0069] The test results are shown in the following table, wherein test group D is a control group to which no anti-aging material was added, and wherein test group Dd is a test group to which an anti-aging material was added.

[0070] In comparative test group D, D-1-1a, D-1-1b, D-1-1c (non-UV-irradiated group), D-2-1a, D-2-1b, D-2-1c (UV-irradiated 2000-hour group), and b-3-1a, b-3-1b, b-3-1c (UV-irradiated 4000-hour group) were found to have a large influence of UV rays on the intensity of the pipe. The influence of the intensity of the pipe subjected to the ultraviolet irradiation is remarkably reduced, and the longer the irradiation time is, the larger the influence on the intensity property is.

[0071] Dd-1-1a, Dd-1-1b, Dd-1-1c (with 3% rare earth material added), Dd-1-2a, Dd-1-2b, Dd-1-2c (with 3% rare earth material added, ultraviolet irradiation 2000 hours), Dd-1-3a, Dd-1-3b, Dd-1-3c (with 3% rare earth material added, ultraviolet irradiation 4000 hours), Dd-2-1a, Dd-2-1b, Dd-2-1c (with 6% rare earth material added), Dd-2-2a, Dd-2-2b, Dd-2-2c (with 6% rare earth material added, ultraviolet irradiation 2000 hours), Dd-2-3a, Dd-2-3b, comparison of Dd-2-3c (6% rare earth added, 4000 hours UV irradiation), Dd-3-1a, Dd-3-1b, Dd-3-1c (9% rare earth added), Dd-3-2a, Dd-3-2b, Dd-3-2c (9% rare earth added, 2000 hours UV irradiation), Dd-3-3a, Dd-3-3b, Dd-3-3c (9% rare earth added, 4000 hours UV irradiation) with the data in comparative test group D, it can be concluded with the following conclusions.

[0072] Firstly, the addition of rare earth materials enhances the compressive strength performance of the pipeline, and the strength performance of the pipe can be well improved no matter 3%, 6% or 9% of the rare earth materials are added. When the amount of the added rare earth is 9%, the burst strength performance is improved by 50% relative to the state of no addition.

[0073] And secondly, the ageing resistance of the pipeline is enhanced by adding the rare earth material, and if the rare earth material is not added, the compressive strength of the pipe is sharply reduced under ultraviolet irradiation. After the rare earth material is added, the compression strength performance after 2000 hours or 4000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation is stronger than that of the original pipe without the rare earth material.

[0074] Finally, as the amount added increases from 3% to 6% and then to 9%, the compressive strength properties and the anti-aging properties of the pipe are gradually enhanced.
