Description

  The present invention relates to a storage tank connected to an injection site of an adhesive to a concrete structure or the like, and an adhesive injection method using the storage tank.

This type of tank is used in the construction method disclosed in Patent Document 1.
Here, an exhaust pipe is attached to the gap between the lateral outer edge of the reinforcing brace and the housing, and the brace and the housing are fixed by injecting an adhesive in a state where the pipe is connected to the storage tank. Is disclosed.
When the adhesive is injected into the gap, the air in the gap is pushed out first, and if the injection is continued, the adhesive overflows following the air and passes through the tube to the storage tank attached to the tip side. I can.
When the injection is stopped, the adhesive in the gap generates heat and shrinkage begins to cure. However, since the storage tank comes into contact with the outside air to dissipate heat, the curing of the adhesive stored in the tank is delayed.
When the adhesive volume in the gap decreases with the shrinkage of the adhesive in the gap, the uncured adhesive stored in the tank flows backward to the gap due to the negative pressure in the gap. The adhesive is replenished in the gap. Therefore, there is no occurrence of voids or skin separation due to insufficient adhesive in the gap between the brace and the casing.

This storage tank has an air vent at the top of the tank to smoothly transfer the adhesive overflowing from the gap into the tank, so if the tank is installed at a position lower than the gap, the adhesive that has reached the tank Will leak from the air vent as it is. If it does so, it will become impossible to retain sufficient adhesive agent in a crevice, and it will become impossible to adhere a brace and a case firmly.
Therefore, the above storage tank cannot be used when injecting adhesive into the injection part where the storage tank mounting space cannot be secured at a high position such as the ceiling of the frame, the side wall in the vicinity thereof, and the back of the floor slab of the bridge. Become.

If it is intended to use the storage tank, it is necessary to secure a higher mounting position than the tank and guide it with a long tube, leading to the result of increasing useless adhesive.

  The present invention relates to a storage tank connected to a site where an adhesive is injected into a concrete structure and the like, and an adhesive injection method using this tank, which prevents the leakage of the adhesive during storage and the tank during reverse flow of the adhesive It is an object to enable smooth introduction of air into the interior.

The first technical means for solving this technical problem relates to a storage tank. (A) The storage tank is a hermetically sealed type, and (b) an adhesive-blocking air filter and a non-return check for ventilation. With a valve.
The second technical means relates to the method of injecting the adhesive. The adhesive is injected by connecting a sealed storage tank with an adhesive blocking air filter and a check valve for ventilation to the injection site. It is to be.

When the injection of the adhesive into the injection portion of the gap is started, the air in the gap is first pushed out to the storage tank side. Although the storage tank is hermetically sealed, an air filter is provided on the upper portion thereof, so that the pushed-out air passes through the storage tank and is smoothly exhausted through this filter.
Although a check valve for ventilation is attached to the storage tank, if the air pressure in the storage tank increases, the valve element will be activated and the air passage will be blocked. Absent.

If the injection is continued even after the gap is filled with the adhesive, the adhesive overflows following the air and is transferred to the storage tank. Since the filter attached to the storage tank prevents the passage of the adhesive, the storage tank is full when the adhesive reaches the filter.
Since the internal pressure remains applied to the adhesive in the storage tank until the injection of the adhesive is completed, the check valve keeps the air passage closed, and the adhesive moves from the check valve side to the outside of the tank. There is no leakage.

When the injection of the adhesive is completed, curing of the adhesive injected into the gap gradually starts.
At this time, since the gap is filled with a large amount of adhesive, heat generation starts with the curing of the adhesive, and the heat accumulates in the gap to further promote the curing of the adhesive. .
However, since the storage tank in which the overflowed adhesive is retained is radiated by touching the outside air, the degree to which the generated heat is accelerated to cure the adhesive is small, and the curing in the tank proceeds more slowly than in the gap. It will be.

When the adhesive in the gap begins to harden and contract, the adhesive in the gap becomes insufficient, the inside of the gap becomes negative pressure, and the uncured adhesive in the storage tank is gradually sucked toward the gap.
At this time, if the pressure of the storage tank decreases and becomes smaller than the pressure of the outside air, the check valve operates to release the closed state of the air passage, and the outside air can flow into the storage tank. The adhesive flows back into the gap smoothly, and the adhesive is replenished in the gap.
Therefore, leakage of the adhesive overflowing the gap from the storage tank can be prevented, and air can be smoothly introduced into the tank when the adhesive flows backward due to hardening shrinkage of the adhesive in the gap.

The storage tank is configured such that a tube connected to the storage tank is directly attached to the gap, or a portion to be inserted into the gap is constituted by a pipe made of metal or the like, and this and the storage tank are connected directly or via a tube. good.
The storage tank needs to be formed of a material that can smoothly radiate heat to the outside air. A metal or plastic product can be preferably used. In addition, it is desirable to increase the contact area with the outside air, so that the tank can be formed flat, a large number of cylinders can be connected to form a tank, or irregularities can be formed on the surface. Thus, the contact area with the outside air is increased.

As a result of preventing the leakage of adhesive during storage and smoothly introducing air into the tank during reverse flow, there is an advantage that the adhesive can be injected with the storage tank positioned at an arbitrary height. There is no need to align the height.
In addition, since the storage tank can be used without being restricted by the pouring position or place, there is an advantage that a cavity or skin separation does not occur in any gap and a reliable bonding work can be performed. is there.
