DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a small-sized duct sleeve for connecting a special part such as a handhole or a manhole to an underground pipe in an electric wire joint groove or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An electric wire joint groove (CCBox) is for realizing underground burying of electric wires such as electric power cables, communication cables, and cables for road managers.
Special parts (connecting parts, branching parts), pipes, and ground equipment are categorized and defined. Its features are: [1] Compared to the conventional cab (cable box) method, [1] Change from concrete U-shaped grooves to multi-story pipes, [2] Compactness with narrower spacing between pipes The aim is to reduce the price (about 1/3 of the cab method) by using such methods as burying in a shallow layer, and [3] putting the electric wires together underground.

As a duct sleeve for connecting the above-mentioned special part and an underground pipe, for example, a duct sleeve having a configuration as shown in FIG. 5 is widely used. This duct sleeve 10
Numeral 0 denotes a substantially cylindrical shape formed by the first cylindrical portion 101 and the second cylindrical portion 102, and the second cylindrical portion 102 is configured to have a larger diameter than the first cylindrical portion 101. The base end portion of the first cylindrical portion 101 is fixed to the end wall portion 111 of the special portion 110 so as to penetrate therethrough.
An end of an underground pipe 112 is fitted inside the cylinder 102 so as to be movable in the pipe axis direction, and a substantially trumpet-shaped guide surface 103 is formed at one end of the first cylinder 101. Various cables (not shown) mounted on the guide surface 112
3 is guided into the special part 110 so as not to be damaged. A large-diameter portion 104 bulging outward with almost no change in wall thickness is formed at an intermediate portion of the second cylindrical portion 102, and a seal ring 113 is formed on the inner surface side of the large-diameter portion 104.
Is installed, and the underground pipe 1 is inserted through the seal ring 113.
12 and the special part 110
Intrusion of rainwater etc. into the inside is prevented.

A plurality of underground pipes 112 are usually connected to the special part 110. The center of adjacent duct sleeves 100 is arranged so that the plurality of underground pipes 112 are compactly arranged. The distance L is set to 175 mm in the Kanto Regional Construction Bureau of the Ministry of Construction. However, power pipes used in the Kanto region mainly consist of φ130
(Inner diameter 130mm, outer diameter 148mm) are used,
Such a power pipe is shown in FIG.
00, the seal ring 113 to be mounted
Including the thickness of the large diameter portion 104, the outer diameter D2 of the large diameter portion 104 is 183 m.
m, and the large-diameter portions 104 interfere with each other, so that there is a problem that the duct sleeve 100 cannot be arranged adjacently. Therefore, usually, as shown in FIG. 5, two types of duct sleeves 100 in which the position of the large diameter portion 104 is shifted in the pipe axis direction are used.
By arranging 00 alternately, the large-diameter portions 104 of the adjacent duct sleeves 100 are configured not to interfere with each other.

However, when two types of short and long duct sleeves are used, [1] the production cost of the duct sleeve is relatively high, [2] the inventory management is complicated, and [3] special. There is a problem that the arrangement of a plurality of duct sleeves to be attached to a part is easily mistaken. Also,
[4] The positioning of the duct sleeve is performed by measuring the dimensions, but the work is complicated and there is a possibility of measurement error, etc. [5] Because the length of the duct sleeve is different, Since all duct sleeves to be installed on special parts cannot be held together and are currently generally fixed individually with bolts and nuts for each duct sleeve,
There are also problems such as the complicated construction work and the increase in the number of work steps.

Accordingly, the present applicant has disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-50
As described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 480, a bell mouth buried and fixed in a penetrating portion of a special wall, and a telescopic sleeve fixed inside the bell mouth and fixed inside the end of an underground pipe. Proposed an assembled duct sleeve consisting of two parts, a telescopic sleeve that movably accommodates the part, and having a thinner wall and an annular groove for mounting a seal ring on the inner surface near the tip of the telescopic sleeve. .

[0007]

In the assembled duct sleeve described in the above publication, one kind of duct sleeve can be used by setting the outer diameter of the duct sleeve to be smaller than the duct sleeve installation interval (175 mm). However, since the duct sleeve is composed of two parts, a bell mouth and a telescopic sleeve,
At least two dies are required to manufacture them, which increases the cost of equipment and increases the manufacturing cost. It is also necessary to bond the bell mouth and the telescopic sleeve at the site. Is complicated.

An object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized duct sleeve that can reduce the burden on equipment economy, can be manufactured at low cost, and can be easily installed.

[0009]

A small duct sleeve according to the present invention is a small duct sleeve for connecting an underground pipe to a special portion such as a handhole or a manhole in an electric wire joint groove or the like, and has a substantially cylindrical shape. A fixed part consisting of one part, which is embedded and fixed in the end wall of the special part in a penetrating manner, and extends from the fixed part to the outside of the special part, and has a buried underground pipe inside it movably in the pipe axis direction. A telescopic guide part to be fitted and attached, a substantially trumpet-shaped guide surface extending outwardly formed on a base inner surface of the fixed part inside the special part, and a thickness of the inner surface part of the telescopic guide part is increased. In this case, an annular groove for mounting a seal ring is formed.

[0010] In this small-sized duct sleeve, since the annular groove for mounting the seal ring is formed by partially reducing the thickness on the inner surface of the telescopic guide, the telescopic guide at the mounting part of the seal ring is formed. There is no need to increase the outer diameter. That is, since it is not necessary to set the outer diameter of the mounting portion of the seal ring having the largest outer diameter of the duct sleeve to be large, even when one type of small duct sleeve having the same shape and the same size is used, It is possible to provide a plurality of these adjacent to the special wall.
In addition, the strength of the telescopic guide portion is slightly reduced in the portion where the annular groove is formed, but this annular groove may be formed near the tip of the telescopic guide portion where a large bending load hardly acts. Since the middle buried pipe is fitted inside,
Even if the strength is slightly reduced, there is no adverse effect such as breakage. In addition, since the duct sleeve is formed of one component, the duct sleeve can be molded with one type of mold, which can reduce the facility economic load and the manufacturing cost. In addition, since it is a single component, there is no need to assemble it using an adhesive or the like at the site, so that the construction work at the site can be reduced, and the storage and transportability can be improved.

Here, in order to increase the mounting strength of the duct sleeve with respect to the special part, at least one rotation restricting part for restricting rotation of the duct sleeve with respect to the special part is formed on the outer surface of the fixing part, or the fixing part is formed. It is preferable to partially reduce the outer diameter of the tube to form a movement restricting portion for restricting the movement of the duct sleeve relative to the special portion in the pipe axis direction.

In addition, it is preferable that a positioning projection for setting an interval between adjacently disposed duct sleeves is formed at the base end of the fixed portion so that the duct sleeve can be easily installed at an appropriate position of the special portion.

Further, the duct sleeve is made as short as possible while ensuring a sufficient length of expansion and contraction of the underground pipe so that the length of the duct sleeve protruding from the special part is made as short as possible. Preferably, the distal end of the tube is configured to be insertable.

[0014]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a main part of an electric wire common groove. In a special part 1 such as a manhole or a handhole, a plurality (two in the figure) of underground pipes in which a plurality of power transmission and distribution cables and the like are bundled and installed. 2 is connected via a small duct sleeve 10 fixed to the special portion 1 so as to be movable in the tube axis direction.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the duct sleeve 10 is formed of one part, and has a substantially cylindrical fixing portion 11 penetratingly fixed to the end wall portion 3 of the special portion 1. It has a substantially cylindrical expansion / contraction guide portion 12 extending outward from the reference numeral 11 and is integrally formed using a synthetic resin material, a metal material, or the like. The duct sleeve 10 of this embodiment is integrally formed by injection molding using a synthetic resin material.

A square hole-shaped through hole 4 is formed in the end wall portion 3 of the special portion 1.
The mortar 5 is filled in the through hole 4 in a state where the required number of the duct sleeves 10 are positioned and set in the through hole 4, and the fixing portion 11 is embedded in the end wall portion 3. It is fixed to the special part 1. The underground pipe 2 is connected to the special part 1 by fitting its end inside the telescopic guide 12 movably in the pipe axis direction.

A bell mouth portion 13 having a substantially trumpet-shaped guide surface 14 extending outward toward the base end is formed at a base end of the fixed portion 11 (an end on the inner side of the special portion 1). The inner diameter d1 on the distal end side of the guide surface 14 is set to be substantially the same as the inner diameter d2 of the underground pipe 2, and the power transmission / distribution cables and the like in the underground pipe 2 are smoothly introduced into the special part 1 via the guide surface 14. It is configured to be introduced into. The inside diameter d3 of the portion of the duct sleeve 10 other than the bell mouth portion 13 is set to be substantially the same over the entire length, and the outside diameter D1 of the underground pipe 2 is set.
The bell mouth portion 13 is formed with a step portion 15 at the tip end side thereof, and the underground pipe 2 is fixed to the duct sleeve 10 until the tip end portion thereof is engaged with the step portion 15. It is configured so that it can be inserted into. In this way, by configuring the underground pipe 2 to be insertable into the fixing portion 11, the overall length of the duct sleeve 10 is set short while ensuring a sufficient length of expansion and contraction of the underground pipe 2. Thus, the projecting length of the duct sleeve 10 from the special part 1 is shortened, so that the transportability and storage property of the special part 1 and handleability during construction can be improved. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the duct sleeve 10 is protruded to the outside by a length excluding the length of the fixing portion 11 embedded in the end wall portion 3. In addition, since the step portion 15 is provided in a direction substantially orthogonal to the pipe axis of the duct sleeve 10, when the underground pipe 2 is inserted into the duct sleeve 10, a fixed length Is inserted in a state where the spacing setting tool (not shown) is arranged, and the spacing setting tool is sandwiched between the step portion 15 and the tip of the underground pipe 2 so that the insertion length of the underground pipe 2 is properly adjusted. And the insertion length of the underground pipe 2 can be easily set, and the workability can be improved. As the interval setting tool, a strip-shaped or rod-shaped member that can abut on the step portion 15 and the tip end of the underground pipe 2, a member having an arc-shaped cross section along the inner surface of the fixed portion 11, or the like can be used. is there. Further, such an interval setting tool is removed from the duct sleeve 10 after the insertion of the underground pipe 2. It can also be used for the next construction.

A movement restricting portion 16 having a small outer diameter and a small thickness is formed at an intermediate portion of the fixed portion 11, and the movement restricting portion 16 is embedded in the end wall portion 3 so that the special portion 1 is formed. The movement of the duct sleeve 10 in the pipe axis direction with respect to the direction is restricted. Further, by forming such a movement restricting portion 16, a sufficient amount of mortar 5 can be filled between the fixing portions 11 of the adjacent duct sleeves 10, and
Since it is possible to arrange reinforcing bars between the fixing portions 11, it is preferable to increase the mounting strength of the duct sleeve 10 to the rear wall portion 3. However, as long as the movement restricting portion 16 is disposed so as to be buried in the rear wall portion 3, its shape, size, number, arrangement position, and the like can be arbitrarily set. For example, it is possible to form at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, arbitrarily set the width in the tube axis direction, and arbitrarily set the position in the tube axis direction.

A rotation restricting portion 17 is provided on the outer peripheral portion in the vicinity of the front end of the fixed portion 11 at four equally spaced positions on the circumference, and the four rotation restricting portions 17 restrict the rotation of the duct sleeve 10 with respect to the special portion 1. Have been. In the present embodiment, the rotation restricting portion 17 is formed in the movement restricting portion 16 so that the outer end of the rotation restricting portion 17 does not protrude outward. However, the shape, size, number, arrangement position, and the like of the rotation regulating portion 17 can be arbitrarily set as long as the portion is buried in the rear wall portion 3.

A large-diameter portion 18 is formed in the vicinity of the distal end of the duct sleeve 10, and two annular grooves 19 are formed on the inner surface side of the large-diameter portion 18 by partially reducing the thickness. 1
Inside 9 is a seal ring 6 pressed against the outer surface of the underground pipe 2.
Are attached. And duct sleeve 1
0, the outer diameter D2 of the large diameter portion 18 having the largest outer diameter is smaller than the center distance L of the duct sleeve 10 specified by the Kanto Regional Construction Bureau of the Ministry of Construction, so that the adjacent duct sleeves 10. The same shape and the same size can be adopted as 10 to reduce the production cost of the duct sleeve 10 and simplify the inventory management, so that different types of duct sleeves are erroneously attached to the special part 1. Is ensured to be prevented.

The number of the annular grooves 19 and the seal rings 6 provided in the large diameter portion 18 can be set to an arbitrary number according to the use conditions such as the outer diameter of the underground pipe 2. Also, the large diameter portion 18
Can be set at an arbitrary position in the pipe axis direction of the telescopic guide portion 12, but since the portion where the annular groove 19 is formed becomes thinner and the strength decreases, the It is preferable that the large-diameter portion 18 be disposed on the distal end side of the duct sleeve 10 so that a large bending moment does not act.

The seal ring 6 is formed of a general-purpose O-ring, and has an inner diameter slightly smaller than that of the underground pipe 2. In order to facilitate the insertion of the underground pipe 2 into the seal ring 6, the end of the underground pipe 2 is chamfered or rounded, and the end of the underground pipe 2 and its end are provided. It is preferable to apply a lubricant to the vicinity and the seal ring 6.

The outer shape of the base end of the duct sleeve 10 may be substantially circular when viewed from the front. For example, as in a duct sleeve 10A shown in FIG. 3, positioning protrusions projecting outward at four locations in the circumferential direction. 4A, the positioning projections 20 of the adjacent duct sleeves 10A are formed as shown in FIG.
Abutting the adjacent duct sleeves 10
If the center distance L between A is set to an appropriate value,
The work of assembling the duct sleeve 10A to the special part 1 can be remarkably simplified. However, the shape of the positioning projection 20 can be set arbitrarily. For example, as in a duct sleeve 10B shown in FIG. 4B, an octagonal positioning projection 21 may be formed at the base end so as to protrude. Alternatively, the base portion may be formed so as to protrude so as to have a square shape. Further, a configuration may be adopted in which a part of the positioning protrusion of the adjacent duct sleeve is fitted into the concave and convex portions.

[0024]

According to the small duct sleeve of the present invention, the seal ring has a simple structure in which the thickness of the expansion and contraction guide portion is partially reduced to form an annular groove for mounting the seal ring. It is possible to prevent the outer diameter of the duct sleeve from increasing in the mounting portion, and it is not necessary to use two types of duct sleeves even when the duct sleeve is disposed adjacent to the special portion. For this reason, the same shape and the same size can be used as the multiple duct sleeves to be assembled to the special part, reducing the production cost of the duct sleeve, simplifying the inventory management, and making It is also possible to reliably prevent an installation error in which the duct sleeves are installed in a different arrangement. In addition, when the duct sleeve is applied to the end wall of the duct sleeve, a plurality of duct sleeves can be collectively installed, so that the work for temporarily fixing the positioning can be greatly simplified.

Further, even if the seal ring is changed from a conventional rubber ring to an O-ring, sufficient sealing performance can be ensured. In addition, the strength of the telescopic guide portion is slightly reduced in the portion where the annular groove is formed, but this annular groove may be formed near the tip of the telescopic guide portion where a large bending load hardly acts. Since the middle buried pipe is fitted inside,
Even if the strength is slightly reduced, there is no adverse effect such as breakage.

Further, since the duct sleeve is composed of one part, it is possible to mold the duct sleeve with one type of mold, thereby reducing the economical load on equipment and reducing the manufacturing cost. Moreover, since it is a single part, there is no need to assemble the duct sleeve using an adhesive or the like at the site, so that the construction work at the site can be reduced and the storage and transportability can be improved.

[0027] At least one rotation restricting portion for restricting rotation of the duct sleeve with respect to the special portion is formed on the outer surface of the fixed portion, or the outer diameter of the fixed portion is partially reduced to reduce the diameter of the duct sleeve with respect to the special portion. By forming a movement restricting portion for restricting the movement in the pipe axis direction, the mounting strength of the duct sleeve to the special portion can be improved.

Further, when a positioning projection for setting the interval between adjacently arranged duct sleeves is formed at the base end of the fixed portion, the duct sleeve can be easily positioned at an appropriate position of the special portion when the duct sleeve is applied to the special portion. Temporary fixing becomes possible, and the work for temporarily fixing the duct sleeve can be remarkably reduced.

Furthermore, if the tip of the underground pipe is configured to be insertable into the fixed part, the duct sleeve can be made as short as possible while ensuring a sufficient length of expansion and contraction of the underground pipe so that the special part can be removed. The length of the protrusion can be set as short as possible, and the transportability and storage performance of the special part to which the duct sleeve is assembled, and the ease of handling during construction can be improved.
