DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a glove for a glove box used in a glove box used when handling radioactive materials and the like in a nuclear facility.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When handling radioactive materials in nuclear facilities,
The operation often uses a glove box.

As a glove for a glove box used in such a glove box, the present applicant has already proposed a glove for a glove box having a configuration shown in FIG. 3 (Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-34958).

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a box window made of a material that allows the inside of the glove box to be viewed, 2 gloves,
Reference numeral 3 denotes a glove port for attaching the glove 2, the inner wall surface of which is lined with a Teflon film or the like. The base end of glove 2 is glove port 3
The O-ring 22 is tightly fixed to an inner ring 21 that can be inserted into the inner ring 21. On the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring 21, there is provided a sealing member 23 which is in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the glove port 3.
Are arranged. Reference numeral 4 denotes a fixed ring for fixing the inner ring 21 to the glove port 3 and preventing the glove 2 from being drawn into the glove box under negative pressure.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 2A denotes an old glove which has been replaced, and reference numeral 21A denotes an old glove 2A.
2 shows an inner ring. 22A is an O-ring, 2
3A is a sealing material.

When replacing the glove for a glove box configured as described above, the fixed ring 4 is removed, and the front end of the inner ring of the new glove is replaced with the inner ring 2.
With the abutment against the rear end, the inner ring of a new glove is pushed into the glove port 3 by a dedicated pressing jig, and the glove 2 is moved to the position of the glove 2A. When the glove 2 moves to the position of the glove 2A, it falls into the glove box. Thereafter, the pressing jig is removed, and the inner ring of the new glove is fixed to the glove port 3 with the fixing ring 4, and the glove replacement operation is completed.

[0007]

In the conventional glove box glove described above, the base end of the glove 2 is positioned between the front end of the inner ring 21 and the rear end of the inner ring 21A when the glove is replaced. Therefore, the glove needs to be carefully replaced so that the base end of the glove 2 is not damaged.

An object of the present invention is to provide a glove box which can be mounted on an existing glove port using an existing pressing jig and which can be quickly replaced because there is no risk of damaging the glove at the time of replacement. Gloves.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to achieve the above object, the present invention relates to a tubular inner ring main body which can be inserted into a glove port of a glove box, wherein the inner ring main body is mounted. When the other inner ring main body is inserted into the glove port, the inner end has a shape capable of contacting the rear end of the inner ring main body to which the front end of the other inner ring main body is already mounted. A ring main body, a cylindrical glove fixing portion disposed inside the inner ring main body, and a glove having a base end fixedly adhered to the glove fixing portion, wherein the glove fixing portion includes the inner glove. It is provided at a position separated from the ring main body.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing the structure of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a box window of an existing glove box, 3 is an existing glove port, 4
Is a fixed ring. 5 is a glove, 51 is a cylindrical inner ring main body having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the glove port 3 and can be inserted into the glove port 3, 52 is a cylindrical shape disposed inside the inner ring main body 51. Glove fixing part. The base end of the glove 5 is tightly fixed to the glove fixing portion 52 using an O-ring 53. On the outer peripheral wall of the inner ring main body 51, a seal member 54 that is in pressure contact with the inner wall surface of the glove port 3 is provided.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 5A denotes a replaced old glove, and reference numeral 51A denotes the old glove 5A.
2 shows an inner ring main body. 52A is a glove fixing part, 53A is an O-ring, and 54A is a sealing material.

As shown in FIG. 1, the shape of the inner ring main body 51 is such that the front end of the inner ring main body 51 of the new glove 5 is located behind the inner ring main body 51A of the old glove 5 when replacing the glove. It is formed in such a shape as to contact the end.

In the present embodiment, the glove fixing portion 52 to which the base end of the glove 5 is fixed is separated from the inner ring body 51, and the glove fixing portion 51 is fixed.
A gap is formed between the inner ring body 51 and the inner ring body 51. Therefore, a cover for preventing the radioactive substance from adhering to the base end portion of the globe 5 can be provided by utilizing the gap.

As described above, according to the present embodiment,
When the glove is replaced, the front end of the inner ring body 51 of the new glove 5 is configured to directly contact the rear end of the inner ring body 51A of the old glove 5A. No force is applied to the part.

In the present embodiment, when replacing the glove, the replacement can be performed using the existing pressing jig 6 as shown in FIG.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the glove port can be mounted on the existing glove port using the existing pressing jig, and there is no risk of damaging the glove at the time of replacement. Can be.
