Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a balloon valve which allows cost reduction, miniaturization and easy handling with increased safety, an increased degree of freedom of connection to a pipe body and hard to inhibit the flow of fluid. SOLUTION: When this valve 10 opens, a balloon-shaped valve element 14 is put in a valve element storage part 12 so as not to inhibit the flow of fluid (b) passing through a pipeline (a). At the time of valve closing, with supply of compressed air from a supply/exhaust hole 13a, the valve element 14 bulges to close the pipeline (a) of a valve main body 11. Thereafter, the valve element 14 is bled of the compressed air to shrink and is put in the valve element storage part 12. The thus-configured balloon valve 10 allows reduction of production costs and miniaturization, and is easy to handle with increased safety. Moreover, since the valve 10 itself is compact in size, its degree of freedom of connection to a pipe body increases.

2. Description of the Related Art As a kind of water pipe, there are a reinforced concrete fume pipe and a steel pipe buried under a road. The diameter of these tubes is usually as large as several tens cm to several meters. Conventionally, a large actuator is attached to a tubular casing, and a rod is protruded into the casing by the actuator as a valve for blocking the conduit of these large-diameter pipes. There is known an automatic pinch valve in which a sleeve is sandwiched and a pipe is closed.

However, in such a conventional automatic pinch valve, since a large-sized actuator is individually mounted, the cost increases, and
The valve itself became larger and heavier. Therefore, when transporting the valve to the site, connecting the valve to the pipe at the site, and performing regular maintenance after the connection, several workers must be secured for each. Also, during these operations, workers were required to be careful in handling valves. That is, the handling of the valve is troublesome because of its large size and heavy weight, and it is necessary to pay sufficient attention to safety.

Further, in this automatic pinch valve,
Such a large-sized actuator taking up space protrudes outside. For this reason, depending on the surrounding environment of the pipe portion to which the valve is connected, the valve may not be connected because an obstacle may be in the way. Then, in the case of a general pinch valve, the opening area of the pipe portion sandwiched between the sleeves is small so that the pipe line can be closed in a relatively short time. As a result, there is also a problem that the flow of sewage or the like flowing through the pipeline when the valve is opened is obstructed.

According to the present invention, when the valve is opened, the valve body is housed in the valve body housing, so that the flow of the fluid flowing through the pipeline is not hindered. In addition, when the valve is closed, the valve expands by supplying a pressure fluid into the valve body, thereby closing a pipe in the casing. afterwards,
If the pressure fluid is discharged from this valve, the valve contracts,
It is stored in the valve body storage part. As a result, cost reduction and downsizing of the balloon valve can be achieved. Moreover, the handling of this valve is easy and the safety at that time is high. Furthermore, while the degree of freedom of connection to the tube is large,
It becomes difficult to obstruct the flow of the fluid passing through the inside of the casing. When a plurality of the balloon valves are provided in the same tube or a predetermined number of the balloon valves are provided in a plurality of adjacent tubes, a plurality of balloon valves are provided using one pressure fluid generating means. Can be simultaneously or sequentially closed.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, when a pressure fluid is supplied to the valve body when the valve is closed, the bellows portion gradually expands in the valve body housing portion and extends into the casing. In addition, the balloon portion gradually expands in a round shape, and the expanded balloon portion blocks the pipeline of the casing. As described above, since the bellows portion is provided at the base of the valve body, the expansion and contraction ratio is larger than that of the valve body having only the balloon portion.
As a result, the valve body housing can be designed to be more compact than the size of the pipe of the casing. Thereafter, the balloon portion is gradually contracted by discharging the pressure fluid from the valve body. At the same time, the bellows portion gradually withdraws along the inner peripheral surface of the valve element storage portion. Thereby, the valve body is housed in the valve body storage section. As a result, due to the presence of the bellows portion, the valve element can be smoothly taken in and out of the valve element storage section when the valve element expands and contracts.

Next, a method of using the balloon valve 10 of this embodiment will be described. First, when the balloon valve 10 shown in FIG. 1 is opened, the valve element 14 is stored in the valve element storage section 12. Therefore, the flow of the fluid b flowing through the pipeline is not hindered by the presence of the valve element 14. On the other hand, when the valve is closed as shown in FIG. 2, a nozzle (not shown) is connected to the supply / discharge hole 13a, and compressed air from a compressed air generator (not shown) is also supplied to the inside of the valve body 14 through the nozzle and the supply / discharge hole 13a. Supply to space. Accordingly, the bellows portion 16 gradually expands along the inner peripheral surface of the valve body housing portion 12 and extends into the casing 11. Moreover, the balloon part 1
7 gradually expands in a round shape, and the expanded balloon portion 17 closes the pipeline of the casing 11. As described above, since the bellows portion 16 is provided at the base of the valve body 14, the balloon portion 1 is provided.
The expansion and contraction ratio is larger than that of the valve element 14 having only seven valves. as a result,
Compared to the size of the conduit of the casing 11, the valve housing 12
Can be designed compactly.

Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the balloon 17 is gradually deflated by removing the nozzle (not shown) and discharging the compressed air in the valve body 14 from the supply / discharge hole 13a. At the same time, the thick bellows portion 16 withdraws along the inner peripheral surface of the valve body housing portion 12 with a relatively large force.
For this reason, the valve element 14 is accommodated in the valve element storage portion 12 without any trouble. Since the thick bellows portion 16 is provided in this manner, it is possible to smoothly put the valve body 14 in and out of the valve body storage part 12 when the valve body expands and contracts. In addition, since the valve body housing section 12 is provided in the casing 11 and the balloon-shaped valve body 14 is housed in the valve body housing section 12, the cost and the size of the balloon valve 10 can be reduced. Even when a large balloon valve 10 is used, since a large-diameter actuator is not mounted unlike a conventional automatic pinch valve, its handling is relatively easy, and safety at that time is also compared. High.

Further, as compared with the conventional automatic pinch valve, a portion protruding outward from the casing 11, specifically, a valve housing 12 for a large actuator is smaller. Therefore, even if there is an obstacle around the tubular body to which the balloon valve 10 is connected, the frequency at which the balloon valve 10 can be connected without any trouble increases. Thereby, the degree of freedom of connection of the balloon valve 10 to the tube is increased. And, only when the balloon valve 10 is closed, a nozzle for supplying compressed air is connected to the supply / discharge hole 13a so that the valve body 14 is inflated. Thus,
The balloon valve 10 is further downsized.
However, it is also possible to always connect this nozzle to the supply / discharge hole 13a. It should be noted that a manual air pump can be employed as a device for inflating the valve element 14.

According to the present invention, the valve casing is provided in the tubular casing, and the balloon-shaped valve is accommodated in the valve casing, so that the cost and the size of the balloon valve can be reduced. The effect is that the handling is easy, the safety at that time is high, the degree of freedom of connection to the pipe is large, and the flow of the fluid passing through the casing is hardly obstructed. In addition, a plurality of balloon valves can be operated to be closed by one pressure fluid generating means.
