Description

  The present invention relates to a detachable joint for an underfloor drain pipe, and more particularly to a detachable joint for an underfloor drain pipe capable of increasing the opening / closing torque by the lever principle and preventing the outer diameter of a union nut from becoming larger than necessary. It is.

Conventionally, the drainage basin installed in the residential land etc. is for each water pipe that is extended from each drainage facility of the building built in this residential land, such as bath, kitchen, toilet, washroom, laundry, etc. Are installed in each. For this reason, when a residential land is narrow and there is not enough piping place for installing a drainage basin in a residential land, installation of a drainage basin becomes difficult.
Furthermore, when installing these drainage basins in a place away from the building, piping work when installing these drainage basins becomes complicated.

In order to solve these problems, in recent years, an underfloor drain pipe structure in which drainage basins (drainage headers) are installed together under the floor of a building has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).
In this underfloor drain pipe structure, the drain pipe is piped in a state exposed under the floor of the building.

By the way, in an ordinary building, an opening is formed by cutting out a part of the fabric foundation so that an operator can dive under the floor and move to an arbitrary position under the floor for under-floor inspection or the like. However, when the drainage pipe crosses the opening, and the underfloor inspection is performed, the drainage pipe at the position of the opening obstructs the movement of the operator.

Therefore, the present applicant has proposed a method of securing a maintenance route by making a part of the drain pipe removable, but when using a union-type pipe joint for connecting pipes to each other, The screw may become hard and cannot be opened by hand force alone. In addition, the small working environment under the floor makes it difficult to apply force, increasing the need for tools.
However, tools that can be used normally, such as spanners and adjustable wrench, cannot be used under the floor because of the large screw size of drainage pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to open and close with a small tool such as a screwdriver. It becomes.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 2C to 2D, when the insertion ring 61 of the driver shaft 7 is simply provided on the outer periphery of the union nut 6, the outer diameter of the union nut 6 becomes large, and the drainage It is necessary to design the outer diameter as small as possible because it easily interferes with the surroundings of the pipe (foundation floor, joists, large pulls, etc.).

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the conventional desorption joint for underfloor drain pipes, and it is possible to increase the opening / closing torque by the lever principle and to prevent the union diameter of the union nut from becoming unnecessarily large. The object is to provide a detachable joint for pipes.

  In order to achieve the above object, the desorption joint of the underfloor drain pipe of the present invention is a union-type pipe joint that removably connects a part of the drain pipe piped under the floor, and is provided with a union screw. A receiving port, another pipe receiving port joined to the pipe receiving port, and a union nut for fastening the pipe receiving port to the union screw side, from the end of the union nut to the periphery of the pipe receiving port, A plurality of protrusions extend in the axial direction with a gap for inserting a shaft of a driver or the like between the pipe receiving port.

  In this case, a groove portion that engages with the hook wrench claw can be formed on the outer peripheral portion of the union nut.

  According to the detachable joint for an underfloor drain pipe of the present invention, in a union-type pipe joint that removably connects a part of the drain pipe that is piped under the floor, a pipe receptacle provided with a union screw, and the pipe receptacle Another pipe socket joined to the port, and a union nut that fastens the pipe socket to the union screw side, between the end of the union nut and around the pipe socket. Since a plurality of protrusions extend in the axial direction with a space for inserting a shaft of a driver, etc., by inserting a shaft of a driver or the like into the inside of the protrusion from the cut line, opening / closing torque can be increased by lever principle. Since the protrusion can be extended in the axial direction, the outer diameter of the union nut can be prevented from becoming larger than necessary.

  In addition, the hook wrench can be used by forming a groove portion that engages with the hook wrench claw on the outer periphery of the union nut.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of a desorption joint for an underfloor drain pipe according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
