2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of pipe joint, for example,
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 59-32711. This conventional pipe joint includes a plug (described as a nipple in the same publication) and a socket (also described as a coupler), and the plug is applied to a valve seat by a spring force of a spring. A first valve body that contacts and closes the fluid passage is incorporated, and a small-diameter valve body (also described as a bleeder) is axially movable in a through hole formed in the axis of the first valve body. The small-diameter valve element is built-in, and is biased by a spring so that the front end of the small-diameter valve element projects from the front end of the first valve element and abuts on a valve seat provided in the through hole. On the other hand, the socket incorporates a second valve body that closes the fluid passage by abutting against the valve seat by the resilience of a spring.
When connecting the plug and the socket, the front end of the small valve body of the plug is pushed by the front end of the second valve body of the socket, whereby around the small diameter valve body, that is, the through hole of the first valve body and the small diameter valve. A fluid passage is formed between the body and the body, and the fluid remaining in the plug is instantaneously released through the fluid passage to reduce the internal pressure. For this reason, even when internal pressure is applied when connecting the socket and the plug, the plug and the socket can be connected manually.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, the small-diameter valve element is a solid member, and the small-diameter valve element receives the elastic force of the spring and the pressure of the fluid remaining in the plug. It is pressed against the valve seat. Therefore, as the fluid pressure becomes higher, a larger force is required to push the small-diameter valve body away from the valve seat to open the fluid passage. Therefore,
If the pressure of the remaining fluid becomes so high that it cannot be pressed by human power, the outer diameter of the small-diameter valve element must be reduced in order to reduce the force for pressing the small-diameter valve element. As a result, the passage cross-sectional area of the fluid passage formed around the small-diameter valve body is reduced by an amount corresponding to the reduced outer diameter, and it takes a long time for the fluid remaining inside to escape when connecting the pipe joint by human power. . Therefore, as the size of the pipe joint increases, that is, as the diameter of the pipe joint increases, the amount of fluid remaining inside increases, and the fluid remaining inside passes through the fluid passage having a small passage cross-sectional area. This requires a long time when connecting the pipe joint by human power, and there is a problem that the workability is poor. Therefore, the pipe joint according to the above conventional example, as the pressure of the fluid used increases, or as the size of the pipe joint increases,
There was a problem that it was difficult to apply. The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and the problem is not affected by the height of the fluid pressure and the size of the pipe joint,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pipe joint that can be easily connected even when an internal pressure is applied and that can increase the degree of freedom in design.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, a valve body is provided in each of fluid passages of a socket and a plug. A pipe joint which closes the fluid passage by contacting the valve seat provided by the spring with the resilient force of the spring, and when connected, the respective valve bodies push each other away from the valve seat to open the fluid passage. In one of the valve bodies, a central hole having a front end side opened in the central axial direction and a rear end side closed is formed, and a first communication hole communicating the inside of the center hole with the fluid passage is formed. An auxiliary valve body fitted movably in the axial direction in the center hole, and a spring for urging the auxiliary valve body in the distal direction and projecting the distal end from the distal end of the valve body are provided. Front inner peripheral surface of body and front outer peripheral surface of auxiliary valve body A gap is formed between the valve body and the auxiliary valve, and the valve body and the auxiliary valve are positioned axially forward and backward of the first communication hole formed in the valve body when the distal end portion of the auxiliary valve body projects from the distal end of the valve body. A pair of seal rings for sealing between the valve body and the auxiliary valve body are provided, and when the auxiliary valve body retreats, the seal of the pair of seal rings on the front side of the first communication hole is released, and the valve body and the auxiliary valve body are removed. And a gap formed between the first communication hole and the first communication hole communicates with each other. With such a configuration, when the socket and the plug are connected, the distal end of the auxiliary valve body protruding from the distal end of one of the socket and the plug is pushed by the distal end of the other valve body to retract the auxiliary valve body. As a result, the seal formed by the seal ring on the front side of the pair of seal rings provided between the valve element and the auxiliary valve element is released, and the gap formed between the valve element and the auxiliary valve element communicates with the first communication port. The holes communicate with each other, and the fluid remaining in the fluid passage of one valve element flows out into the other valve element through the first communication hole and the gap. by this,
The pressure of the fluid pressing the one valve body in the direction to close the fluid passage rapidly decreases. At this time, the auxiliary valve element
Since the space between the pair of seal rings provided therearound communicates with the fluid passage via the first communication hole, the pair of seal rings receives opposite axial forces received by the remaining fluid, that is, The pair of seal rings are pushed in the distal direction by a constant pressing force, which is a combined force of an axial force having a magnitude corresponding to a difference in seal diameter between the pair of seal rings and an elastic force of the spring. For this reason, the auxiliary valve element is not pressed to the valve seat side by receiving the pressure (internal pressure) of the remaining fluid as in the small-diameter valve element of the related art. Therefore, when using a fluid in which the pressure of the remaining fluid is too high to be pushed by human power, or
Even when the size of the pipe joint is large, there is no need to reduce the outer diameter of the auxiliary valve element in order to reduce the force for pushing the auxiliary valve element toward the valve seat, unlike the above-described conventional small-diameter valve element. The outer diameter of the body can be freely determined without being affected by the pressure of the fluid or the size of the fitting. Further, even when the size of the pipe joint is large, it is not necessary to reduce the outer diameter of the auxiliary valve body, so that the time required for the fluid remaining inside to escape as in the above-described prior art does not become long, and the pipe is manually operated. Workers do not need to keep applying force for a long time when connecting joints,
Connection can be easily made even when internal pressure is applied, and workability is good. Further, by making the seal diameters of the pair of seal rings different, the valve opening pressure of the auxiliary valve body can be set to an arbitrary value according to the difference in the seal diameters.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a second communication hole is provided at the distal end of one of the valve bodies to allow the fluid flowing toward the distal end through the gap from the inside to the outside of the valve body. It is characterized by. With such a configuration, the tip of the auxiliary valve element provided in one valve element is pushed by the tip of the other valve element, and the two valve elements are brought into close contact with each other, and the gap formed between the valve element and the auxiliary valve element is closed. Even if the state is set, the fluid pressure remaining in one of the socket and the plug flows from the inside to the outside of the one valve body through the first communication passage, the gap, and the second communication hole. When the socket and the plug are connected, the internal pressure can be reliably reduced.

The force is pushed in the distal direction by the combined force of the larger diameter of the seal and the pushing force in the distal direction having a size corresponding to the difference) and the elastic force of the spring 36. For this reason, the auxiliary valve element 35 receives the pressure (internal pressure) of the remaining fluid over the entire diameter unlike the small-diameter valve element of the related art, and is not pressed toward the valve seat. Therefore, even when a fluid whose pressure of the remaining fluid is so high that it cannot be pressed by human power, or when the size of the pipe joint is large, the auxiliary valve body 35 is connected to the valve seat as in the small-diameter valve body of the related art. Auxiliary valve element 3 to reduce the pushing force to the side

Further, even when the size of the pipe joint is large, it is not necessary to reduce the outer diameter of the auxiliary valve body 35, so that the time required for the fluid remaining inside to escape as in the above-described prior art does not become long, and human power is required. When connecting the pipe joint, the worker does not need to apply force for a long time, and can easily connect even when an internal pressure is applied, and the workability is good. Further, by making the seal diameters of the pair of seal rings 37 and 38 different, the valve opening pressure of the auxiliary valve body 35 can be set to an arbitrary value according to the difference between the seal diameters.
