【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、管の端部にフランジを設け、この接合面と管継手の端面とを突き合わせて接合するための管継手構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、流体を流通させる管路を形成する際、パイプと管継手とを接合する場合には、パイプの外周にスリーブとナットを挿入し、奥側に窄んだテーパ形状に形成された管継手の取付部にスリーブを挿入したパイプの端部を差し込み、パイプの外周において管継手に螺設された雄ネジとナットとを締め付けていた。
これにより、スリーブのカッティングエッジ部が、取付部のテーパ面に押し付けられてパイプの外周に食い込み、スリーブは、弾性的に湾曲して管継手とパイプの外周との隙間をなくし、管継手とパイプとを密着状態にしていた。
【0003】

小栗幸正 著「油圧と回路」理工学社、1986年3月30日、P7−14〜7−15
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来のパイプと管継手との接合部では、管継手とナットとのネジ締結による押圧力(接合力)は、スリーブを介して継手本体の取付部のテーパ面に作用しており、パイプの軸方向に対しパイプを管継手に直に押圧していない。このため、振動や衝撃等が接合部に発生すると、パイプと管継手との相対的なズレやナットの緩み等が生じ易く、結果的にスリーブによるパイプと管継手との密着状態が解除され管内における流体の密閉性が低下して、流体漏れを引き起こしてしまう場合がある。
本発明は、このような問題点を解決するために創案されたものであり、管と管継手との接合部において、従来に比して管と管継手とを堅固に接合して管と管継手との密着状態を保持させることにより、その接続状態を正確になし得る管継手構造を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を達成するための本発明の第1発明は、請求項1に記載されたとおりの管継手構造である。
請求項1に記載の管継手構造は、最端面を接合面とする端部が雄ネジ部で形成された管継手と、この管継手と接合する側の最端部にフランジが形成された管とを突き合せ、内部に押圧面が形成され、雌ネジ部を備えた締付固定具を管の外周に挿通させ、押圧面を接合面に当接させた状態にして、締付固定具と端部とをネジ締結することにより、フランジを接合面に押圧して管継手と管とを接合させる。
これにより、雌ネジ部と締付け固定具との締結による押圧力(接合力)で管継手や管の軸方向に対して管継手と管とを直に接合することができるため、管継手と管とを堅固な状態で固定することができる。
【0006】
また、本発明の第2発明は、請求項2に記載されたとおりの管継手構造である。
請求項2に記載の管継手構造は、フランジと接合面との間にはシール部材が設けられている。
これにより、フランジと接合面との間にシール部材を介在させて管と管継手とを堅固な状態で接合すれば、管継手と管との密着状態は保持され易くなり、管と管継手とが接合された管路に流体が流通しても、管継手と管との接合部での流体漏れを防止することができる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施の形態を、図1を用いて説明する。図1は、管継手1とパイプ6とが接合した状態を示す断面図である。
【0008】
本実施の形態の管継手構造は、管継手1、外形状が円によるパイプ6、締付固定具10、Oリング14で構成され得るものであり、管継手1とパイプ6とを接合する場合において管継手1とパイプ6とを突き合せて接合することができる構造である。なお、パイプ6が本発明の管に対応し、Oリング14が本発明のシール部材に対応する。
【0009】
パイプ6には、図1に示すように、管継手1の端部2と接合する側(以下、「接合側」という。)において、例えば、Wクローズドバルジ加工法によってパイプ6の外壁を曲げて折り返した形状等によって形成されたフランジ7が設けられている。フランジ7の接合側(図1の右側)の面は、例えば、スーパーロール加工法等によって研磨仕上げに相当する程度の面粗さ(一例として、面粗度Rmaxで10s程度以下に相当する面粗さ)で形成されたOリング14と当接する接合面8になっており、この反対側の面が、締付固定具10の押圧面13と当接可能な被押圧面9になっている。フランジ7は、後述するように、管継手1の端部2の外周径にほぼ相当する大きさで形成され、押圧部12の押圧面13における最外周縁(押圧部12の内径)より小さくなっている。
【0010】
管継手1は、図1に示すように、その端部2の外周において雄ネジ3が螺設されており、Oリング14を配置するための溝5を、本発明の接合面に相当する端面4側に有している。なお、溝5を形成している面についても、接合面8と同様に、研磨仕上げに相当する程度の面粗さで形成することが好ましい。
【0011】
締付固定具10は、管継手1の雄ネジ3と螺合可能な雌ネジ部11と、パイプ6と管継手1との接合時において接合側にフランジ7を押圧する押圧部12とから構成され、雄ネジ3と雌ネジ部11との締結により押圧部12の押圧面13がパイプ6の被押圧面9を押圧するようになっている。押圧部12の内周面17は、接合側に開いたテーパ形状で形成され、端面16や押圧面13との両方の角部が面取りされている。
【0012】
なお、押圧部12の形状において、押圧部12の端面16から押圧面13までの厚みtは、パイプ6の外周径に対する5%以上の大きさに形成することが好ましい。
【0013】
次に、管継手1とパイプ6との接合方法と共に、その作用について説明する。
はじめに、管継手1とパイプ6との接合方法を簡単に示す。
パイプ6接合側の反対側より、締付固定具10の雌ネジ部11側から締付固定具10をパイプ6の外周に挿通させて、締付固定具10をフランジ7に近づける。Oリング14を溝5に配置し、管継手1に配設されたOリング14にフランジ7の接合面8を当接させて管継手1とパイプ6とを突合わせ、Oリング14が一定の状態に変形するまで、パイプ6に挿通された締付固定具10の雌ネジ部11と管継手1の雄ネジ3とを締結させる。
これにより、管継手1とパイプ6とは、接合部15で完全に接合された状態となる(図1の状態)。
【0014】
以上により、本実施の形態の管継手構造に基いた管継手1とパイプ6との接合では、Oリング14を介して端面4と接合面8とを突合わせて、雌ネジ部11と雄ネジ3とを締結させるため、管継手1やパイプ6の軸方向に対し、その締結による押圧力(接合力)で管継手1とパイプ6とを堅固な状態で固定することができ、管継手1とパイプ6との密着状態は保持され易くなる。
また、Oリング14は、良好な面性状(面粗さが良好)で形成された溝5内の面や接合面8に配設されているため、溝5内の面や接合面8での表面形状における凸凹によって損傷し難くなり、長期間にわたって管継手1とパイプ6との密着状態を保持することができる。
また、パイプ6等にある程度の振動や衝撃等が発生しても、その振動エネルギの一部が弾性体であるOリング14によって吸収され易く、パイプ6等の動作が緩衝されて、振動や衝撃等による流体漏れを防止することができる。
また、押圧部12の内周面17を接合側に開いたテーパ形状で形成し、内周面17と端面16との角部や、内周面17と押圧面13との角部をそれぞれ面取りすることにより、管継手1とパイプ6とが接合した状態でパイプ6等に振動や衝撃等が発生しても、これらの角部が、パイプ6の外周面やパイプ6の外周面と押圧面13との角部等に局所的に接触しないため、パイプ6の破損を抑制することができる。
したがって、従来に比して管と管継手とを堅固に接合して管と管継手との密着状態を保持させることにより、その接続状態を正確になし得ることが可能となり、管継手1とパイプ6とが接合した状態の管路に流体が流通しても、接合部15における流体漏れを防止することができる。
【0015】
本発明は、上述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で適宜変更してもよい。
例えば、本実施の形態ではOリング14を配置する溝5を管継手1の端面4側に設けたが、図2に示すように、パイプ6のフランジ7にOリング14の溝5を配設しても良い。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したように、本発明による管継手構造に基いて管と管継手とを接合すれば、管と管継手とを堅固に接合することにより管と管継手との密着状態を保持することができるため、管と管継手との管路に流体が流通しても、管と管継手との接合部における流体漏れを防止することができる。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in a conventional joint between a pipe and a pipe joint, a pressing force (joining force) due to screw fastening between the pipe joint and a nut acts on a tapered surface of a mounting portion of the joint main body via a sleeve. The pipe is not pressed directly against the pipe joint in the axial direction. For this reason, when vibrations or shocks occur at the joint, relative displacement between the pipe and the pipe joint, loosening of the nut, and the like are likely to occur, and as a result, the close contact between the pipe and the pipe joint by the sleeve is released, and the inside of the pipe is released. In some cases, the airtightness of the fluid may be reduced, causing fluid leakage.
The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and at a joint portion between a pipe and a pipe joint, the pipe and the pipe joint are more firmly joined as compared with the related art, so that the pipe and the pipe joint can be formed. An object of the present invention is to provide a pipe joint structure capable of accurately establishing a connection state by maintaining a close contact state with a joint.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A first invention of the present invention for achieving the above object is a pipe joint structure as set forth in claim 1.
The pipe joint structure according to claim 1, wherein the end having the outermost end surface as a joining surface is formed with a male thread portion, and a pipe having a flange formed at the most end portion on the side to be joined with the pipe joint. And a pressing surface is formed inside, a fastening fixture having a female screw portion is inserted through the outer periphery of the tube, and the pressing surface is brought into contact with the joining surface, and the fastening fixture and By screwing the ends together, the flange is pressed against the joint surface to join the pipe joint and the pipe.
Thus, the pipe joint and the pipe can be directly joined to each other in the axial direction of the pipe joint and the pipe by a pressing force (joining force) generated by fastening the female screw portion and the fastening fixture. Can be fixed firmly.
[0006]
A second invention of the present invention is a pipe joint structure as described in claim 2.
In the pipe joint structure according to the second aspect, a seal member is provided between the flange and the joint surface.
Accordingly, if the pipe and the pipe joint are joined in a firm state by interposing a seal member between the flange and the joint surface, the tight contact state between the pipe joint and the pipe is easily maintained, and the pipe and the pipe joint are connected to each other. Even if a fluid flows through the pipe to which the pipe is joined, it is possible to prevent fluid leakage at the joint between the pipe joint and the pipe.
[0007]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a state in which the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 are joined.
[0008]
The pipe joint structure according to the present embodiment can be composed of a pipe joint 1, a pipe 6 having an outer shape of a circle, a fastening fixture 10, and an O-ring 14. When the pipe joint 1 is joined to the pipe 6, In this embodiment, the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 can be joined by butt-joining. The pipe 6 corresponds to the pipe of the present invention, and the O-ring 14 corresponds to the sealing member of the present invention.
[0009]
As shown in FIG. 1, the outer wall of the pipe 6 is bent at a side (hereinafter, referred to as a “joining side”) that joins the end 2 of the pipe joint 1 by, for example, a W closed bulge processing method. A flange 7 having a folded shape or the like is provided. The surface on the joining side (the right side in FIG. 1) of the flange 7 is, for example, a surface roughness equivalent to polishing finish by a super roll processing method or the like (for example, a surface roughness corresponding to a surface roughness Rmax of about 10 s or less). 2), the surface 8 is in contact with the O-ring 14, and the opposite surface is the pressed surface 9 that can be in contact with the pressing surface 13 of the fastening fastener 10. As will be described later, the flange 7 has a size substantially corresponding to the outer diameter of the end portion 2 of the pipe joint 1 and is smaller than the outermost peripheral edge (the inner diameter of the pressing portion 12) of the pressing surface 13 of the pressing portion 12. ing.
[0010]
As shown in FIG. 1, the pipe joint 1 has a male screw 3 threaded around the outer periphery of the end 2, and a groove 5 for arranging the O-ring 14 is formed in an end surface corresponding to the joint surface of the present invention. It has it on four sides. In addition, it is preferable that the surface on which the groove 5 is formed is formed with a surface roughness equivalent to polishing finish similarly to the bonding surface 8.
[0011]
The fastening fixture 10 includes a female screw portion 11 that can be screwed with the male screw 3 of the pipe joint 1, and a pressing portion 12 that presses the flange 7 toward the joint side when the pipe 6 and the pipe joint 1 are joined. The pressing surface 13 of the pressing portion 12 presses the pressed surface 9 of the pipe 6 by fastening the male screw 3 and the female screw portion 11. The inner peripheral surface 17 of the pressing portion 12 is formed in a tapered shape open to the joining side, and both corners of the end surface 16 and the pressing surface 13 are chamfered.
[0012]
In the shape of the pressing portion 12, the thickness t from the end surface 16 of the pressing portion 12 to the pressing surface 13 is preferably formed to be 5% or more of the outer diameter of the pipe 6.
[0013]
Next, the method of joining the pipe joint 1 to the pipe 6 and its operation will be described.
First, a method of joining the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 will be briefly described.
The fastening fixture 10 is inserted into the outer periphery of the pipe 6 from the female screw portion 11 side of the fastening fixture 10 from the side opposite to the pipe 6 joining side, so that the fastening fixture 10 approaches the flange 7. The O-ring 14 is arranged in the groove 5, the joint surface 8 of the flange 7 is brought into contact with the O-ring 14 provided in the pipe joint 1, and the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 are butted. The female screw part 11 of the fastening fixture 10 inserted into the pipe 6 and the male screw 3 of the pipe joint 1 are fastened until the pipe 6 is deformed.
As a result, the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 are completely joined at the joint 15 (the state of FIG. 1).
[0014]
As described above, in joining the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 based on the pipe joint structure of the present embodiment, the end face 4 and the joining face 8 are abutted via the O-ring 14, and the female screw 11 and the male screw 11 are joined. 3, the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 can be firmly fixed in the axial direction of the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 by a pressing force (joining force) due to the connection. And the pipe 6 can be kept in close contact with each other.
Further, since the O-ring 14 is provided on the surface in the groove 5 and the bonding surface 8 formed with good surface properties (good surface roughness), the O-ring 14 is formed on the surface in the groove 5 and the bonding surface 8. Due to the unevenness in the surface shape, damage is less likely to occur, and it is possible to maintain the close contact between the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 for a long time.
Also, even if a certain amount of vibration or impact occurs in the pipe 6 or the like, part of the vibration energy is easily absorbed by the O-ring 14 which is an elastic body, and the operation of the pipe 6 or the like is buffered, and Fluid can be prevented.
Further, the inner peripheral surface 17 of the pressing portion 12 is formed in a tapered shape open to the joint side, and the corner between the inner peripheral surface 17 and the end surface 16 and the corner between the inner peripheral surface 17 and the pressing surface 13 are chamfered, respectively. By doing so, even if vibration or impact occurs on the pipe 6 or the like in a state where the pipe joint 1 and the pipe 6 are joined, these corners are formed by the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 6 or the outer peripheral surface of the pipe 6 and the pressing surface. Since there is no local contact with a corner or the like of the pipe 13, damage to the pipe 6 can be suppressed.
Therefore, by connecting the pipe and the pipe joint more firmly than in the past and maintaining the close contact between the pipe and the pipe joint, it is possible to accurately establish the connection state, and the pipe joint 1 and the pipe Even if a fluid flows through the pipe line in a state where the joint 6 is joined, the fluid leakage at the joint 15 can be prevented.
[0015]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be appropriately changed without departing from the gist thereof.
For example, in the present embodiment, the groove 5 for disposing the O-ring 14 is provided on the end face 4 side of the pipe joint 1, but the groove 5 for the O-ring 14 is disposed on the flange 7 of the pipe 6 as shown in FIG. You may.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described in detail above, if the pipe and the pipe joint are joined based on the pipe joint structure according to the present invention, the pipe and the pipe joint are firmly joined to maintain the close contact between the pipe and the pipe joint. Therefore, even if a fluid flows through the conduit between the pipe and the pipe joint, it is possible to prevent fluid leakage at the joint between the pipe and the pipe joint.
