Description

  The present invention relates to a pipe line, and more particularly to a pipe line buried in a soil-contaminated area or an area where there is a risk of such contamination, such as gasoline, kerosene, and organic solvents.

An example of a conventional pipe line is disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1. The composite polyethylene pipe for water supply of Non-Patent Document 1 includes an anticorrosion layer, a barrier layer, and a polyethylene layer, and has a solvent penetration preventing performance by the anticorrosion layer and the barrier layer. However, when connecting a composite polyethylene pipe for water supply with an electric fusion joint or the like, since the polyethylene layer is inserted into the electric fusion joint or the like after peeling off the anticorrosion layer and the barrier layer of the portion supplied to the joint, this The solvent penetration resistance of the composite polyethylene pipe for water supply at the joint is lost. Therefore, the joint is wound with a fluorine-based resin tape or aluminum tape to prevent the organochlorine compound from penetrating into the joint.
Proceedings of the 51st National Waterworks Conference, published by the Japan Waterworks Association, (5-35) Research on practical use of composite polyethylene pipes for waterworks (I), P.A. 336-337

  In the prior art of Non-Patent Document 1, since the shape of the joint portion is complicated, it is impossible to wind a fluorine-based resin tape or the like without a gap around the joint portion, or even if possible, it is very difficult to wind.

  Therefore, a main object of the present invention is to provide a pipe line that exhibits solvent penetration resistance and is easy to construct.

  The invention of claim 1 is a pipe line having a connecting portion in which a coating layer is removed from a portion used for joining of a cladding tube coated with a solvent permeation prevention coating layer, and the cladding tube is connected to a joint. A pipe having a solvent permeation prevention sleeve that is covered with a tape, and an end of the sleeve being taped to the cladding pipe.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, a coating tube coated with a solvent permeation prevention coating layer is used, and a portion of the solvent permeation prevention coating layer used for joining of the cladding tube is peeled off, and the portion is inserted into a joint and connected. Then, the entire connection portion is covered with a solvent permeation prevention sleeve, and the end of the solvent permeation prevention sleeve is stopped with a tape, for example, at a straight tube portion of the cladding tube away from the connection portion.

  In this way, the connecting portion of the cladding tube is not covered with the solvent penetration preventing coating layer and does not have solvent penetration resistance, but the solvent penetration preventing sleeve is covered by covering the connecting portion with the solvent penetration preventing sleeve. Since the contaminants are prevented from penetrating into the connection portion, the solvent penetration resistance of the connection portion is exhibited. As a result, the portion of the cladding tube is protected by the solvent permeation preventive coating layer, and the connecting portion is protected by the solvent permeation prevention sleeve, so that the entire conduit has a solvent permeation prevention performance.

  In addition, by covering the connection part with a complicated shape with a solvent permeation prevention sleeve, the sleeve is brought into close contact with the straight pipe part of the simple shape cladding tube and fastened with tape, so that the connection part can be covered easily without any gaps. And the inside of the sleeve is sealed.

  According to this invention, the solvent penetration prevention sleeve is put on the connection portion, and the sleeve is taped at the straight pipe portion of the cladding tube, thereby preventing the penetration of contaminants into the pipe line, and easy installation. Can do.

  The above object, other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments with reference to the drawings.

  A pipe line 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 connects a cladding pipe 12 and a branch pipe 14 with a joint 16 and covers the connecting portion with a solvent permeation prevention sleeve 18 (hereinafter referred to as a sleeve). Formed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cladding tube 12 is a straight tube in which the outer peripheral surface of the main tube 20 is coated with a solvent permeation prevention coating layer 22 (hereinafter referred to as a coating layer).

  The main pipe 20 is made of a polyolefin resin or the like. The polyolefin resin is, for example, polyethylene (low density, medium density, high density, ultra high density, etc.), polypropylene, or polybutene, and these resins include the resin composition.

  The coating layer 22 is formed of a single layer or a plurality of layers, and has excellent solvent permeation resistance. For example, it may be a single layer having a solvent permeation preventive property, or may be a plurality of layers in which a layer having a moisture proof property is superimposed on a layer having a solvent permeation preventive property via an adhesive layer. The layer having solvent permeability may be formed of a synthetic resin or a metal.

  The cladding tube 12 can be manufactured, for example, by first extruding the main tube 20 alone to cool and solidify, and coating the outer peripheral surface of the main tube 20 with a coating layer 22 by coating extrusion molding.

The branch pipe 14 is a T-shaped pipe, a Y-shaped pipe, cheese, a saddle, or the like shown in FIG. 1 and has a branch portion. For example, the T-shaped tube 14 includes a main tube portion 14a and a branch tube portion 14b.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 4A, the sleeve 18 is formed, for example, in a T-shape by bonding the end portions of the sheet 24 together. A main pipeline covering portion 18a that covers the outer periphery of the main pipeline portion, which will be described later, and a branch pipeline covering portion 18b that is integrally formed with the main pipeline covering portion 18a and covers the outer periphery of the branch pipeline portion. The size is formed such that a connecting portion such as a T-shaped tube 14 to be described later can be inserted therein.

  Specifically, the main pipe covering portion 18a is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and the inner diameter thereof is larger than the height of the T-tube 14 (the height from the bottom of the main pipe portion 14a to the upper end of the branch pipe portion 14b), The length is set longer than the length of the connecting portion in the main axis direction. Both end portions of the main pipe covering portion 18a serve as end covering portions that respectively cover both end portions of the main pipe line portion. An opening having a larger diameter than that of the branch pipe line is formed at a substantially central portion in the axial direction of the main pipe cover 18a, and a substantially cylindrical branch pipe cover 18b rising continuously from the periphery of the opening is formed. . The height of the branch pipe covering portion 18b is set larger than the height of the connecting portion in the branch axis direction.

  The sheet 24 is made of a material having a solvent penetration preventing property capable of preventing the penetration of contaminants. As shown in FIG. 5, the polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter referred to as polyethylene terephthalate is PET) on which the fusion layer 26 and the vapor deposition layer 28 are deposited. This is a laminate in which five layers of a layer 30, a nylon layer 32, and a PET layer 34 are sequentially laminated. Since each layer 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 is transparent, the sheet 24 itself is also transparent.

  The fusion layer 26 is, for example, a low-density polyethylene thin film that can be thermally fused.

  The PET layer 30 on which the vapor-deposited layer 28 is vapor-deposited has excellent solvent permeation prevention performance. For example, the PET layer 30 on which ceramics such as alumina and silica are vapor-deposited can be used. The vapor deposition layer 28 is flexible, and even when bent, the layer 28 does not crack and can maintain the solvent penetration preventing performance.

  Since the PET layers 30 and 34 have excellent wear resistance and low water absorption, the vapor deposition layer 28 and the nylon layer 32 having excellent solvent permeation prevention performance are sandwiched between them to protect them from external contact and water vapor. This prevents the deterioration of the solvent permeation preventing performance of the nylon layer 32. Therefore, these layers 28, 30, 32, 34 jointly exhibit a high solvent penetration preventing property and serve as the barrier layer 36 in the sheet 24.

  A large number of fine particles 40 mainly composed of starch or silicon are adhered to the surface of the fusion layer 26. As a result, the friction between the fusion layer 26 and others is reduced, and therefore, if the fusion layer 26 is provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 10, the cladding tube 12 and the joint 16 can be smoothly passed through the sleeve 18.

  For manufacturing the sleeve 18, for example, when a coated tube 12 having a nominal diameter of 50 to 100 is used for the conduit 10, a single sheet 24 is cut into a cross shape as shown in FIG. The sheet 24 is folded in two at the dotted line portion 38 so that the layers face each other. Then, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the end 24a of the sheet 24 is bonded to each other by heat fusion or the like, so that the T-shaped sleeve 18 is formed. In this way, the main pipe covering portion 18a and the branch pipe covering portion 18b of the sleeve 18 are cylindrical, and the seal portions 24a are provided on one side of the main pipe covering portion 18a and on both sides of the branch pipe covering portion 18b. It is formed.

  Further, when using the cladding tube 12 having a nominal diameter of 150 or 200, the sheet 24 cut into a T-shape shown in FIG. 7A and the sheet 24 cut into a rectangular shape shown in FIG. Prepare two. Then, as shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, 7A, and 7B, the low-density polyethylene layers of the T-shaped sheet 24 face each other and overlap each other. Then, the end 24b of the sheet 24 is bonded together by heat fusion or the like to form the upper part of the main pipe covering part 18a and the cylindrical branch pipe covering part 18b. Similarly, the end portions 24c of the two rectangular sheets 24 are bonded to each other by heat fusion or the like to form the lower portion of the main pipeline covering portion 18a. Then, the lower end portion 24d of the T-shaped sheet 24 and the upper end portion 24e of the rectangular sheet 24 are overlapped and bonded together by heat fusion or the like to form the T-shaped sleeve 18. As a result, the main pipe covering portion 18a and the branch pipe covering portion 18b of the sleeve 18 are formed into a cylindrical shape, and seal portions 24b are provided on four sides of the main pipe covering portion 18a and on both sides of the branch pipe covering portion 18b. 24c, 24d, and 24e are formed.

  When forming the conduit 10 using these, before connecting the cladding tube 12 or the like, as shown in FIG. 8, the main conduit covering portion 18a is covered in advance with the sealing portion of the sleeve 18 on the cladding tube 12a. deep. Then, the sleeve 18 is moved toward the center of the cladding tube 12a, and a certain distance is provided from the end of the sleeve 18 to the tube end of the cladding tube 12a so that the joining of the cladding tube 12a is not hindered.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, using a cutter knife, a cut that does not penetrate through the coating layer 22 is made on the surface of the coating layer 22, and the coating layer 22 is torn off and peeled off from that portion. Only the coating layer 22 to be provided is removed from the main pipe 20.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 10, after obtaining a new clean fused surface 24 at the tube end of the cladding tube 12a and cleaning the fused surface 24, as shown in FIG. The part is inserted into one receiving port of the electric fusion joint 16a. Further, by using the T-shaped tube 14, one end of the main pipe portion 14a is inserted into the other receiving port of the electric fusion joint 16a, so that the fusion surface 24 of the cladding pipe 12a and the electric fusion joint 16a are received. The inner surface of the mouth is fused, the outer surface of the tube end portion of the T-shaped tube 14 and the inner surface of the receiving port of the electric fusion joint 16a are fused, and the cladding tube 12a and the T-shaped tube are joined by the electric fusion joint 16a. 14a is connected.

  Similarly to this, as shown in FIGS. 8-11, the other pipe end part of the main pipe part 14a of the T-shaped pipe 14 is inserted into the one receiving port using another electric fusion joint 16b. And the pipe | tube end part is inserted in the other receptacle of the electrofusion joint 16b using another cladding pipe 12b. Also about the pipe | tube end part of this cladding tube 12b, like the above-mentioned cladding tube 12a, before inserting in the receptacle of the electric fusion joint 16b, the coating layer 22 is stripped off and the fused surface 24 is taken out. In this way, the main pipe portion 14a of the cladding tube 12b and the T-shaped tube 14 are connected by the electric fusion joint 16b to form the main pipe line portion 10a. In addition, the connection part of the pipe line 10 is a part used in order to connect the cladding tube 12, Comprising: The part which does not have solvent penetration prevention property. In this case, the portions of the cladding tubes 12a and 12b from which the coating layer 22 has been peeled off, the electric fusion joints 16a and 16b, and the T-shaped tube 14 do not have durability permeability, so these are the connecting portions in the main axis direction. Equivalent to.

  After forming the main pipe line portion 10a, the sleeve 18 is moved to the position of the T-shaped tube 14 as shown in FIG. Since the inner diameter of the main pipe covering portion 18a is formed so as to allow the T-tube 14 to be inserted, the T-tube 14 can be accommodated in the main pipe covering portion 18a.

  Next, the branch pipe part 14b of the T-shaped pipe 14 is inserted into the branch pipe line covering part 18b. Then, as shown in FIG. 13, in order to connect another cladding tube 12 c to the branch tube portion 14 b of the T-shaped tube 14, the branch conduit covering portion 18 b is drawn toward the main conduit covering portion 18 a and contracted, The branch pipe part 14b of the T-shaped tube 14 is exposed from the branch pipe covering part 18b. In this state, the branch tube portion 14b of the T-shaped tube 14 is inserted into one receiving port of the newly prepared electrofusion joint 16c, and the tube end portion of the cladding tube 12c from which the coating layer 22 has been removed is connected to the electrofusion joint 16c. The branch pipe portion 14b of the T-shaped tube 14 and the cladding tube 12c are connected by the electric fusion joint 16c to form the branch pipe portion 10b. In addition, the connection part of a branch axis direction is the part by which the coating layer 22 of the cladding tube 12c was stripped off, the electrofusion joint 16c, and the T-shaped tube 14.

  After the connection, as shown in FIG. 14, the shunted branch pipe covering portion 18b is extended to cover the branch pipe portion 10b, and the main pipe covering portion 18a covers the outer periphery of the main pipe portion 10a.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the air in the sleeve 18 is discharged, and the main pipe covering portion 18 a and the branch pipe covering portion 18 b of the sleeve 18 are folded and cut short so that the sleeve 18 does not wrinkle. Secure with anticorrosion tape 42 or the like. Then, aluminum tape and anticorrosion tape are wound around each end of the main pipe covering part 18a and the branch pipe covering part 18b at the connecting part of the pipe line 10, that is, at the position of the cladding pipe 12 away from the electric fusion joint 16. These are fixed to the main pipeline portion 10a and the branch pipeline portion 10b. At this time, in order to prevent contaminants from entering the connecting portion of the conduit 10 from between the sleeve 18 and the cladding tube 12, for example, as shown in FIG. Wrap the aluminum tape 44. Further, in order to prevent corrosion of the aluminum tape 44, the anticorrosion tape 42 is wound on the aluminum tape 44 so as to cover the joint of the aluminum tape 44 as shown in FIG.

  According to this embodiment, since the coating layer 22 is peeled off at the connection portion of the cladding tube 12 with the electric fusion joint 16 or the like, the portion does not have the solvent penetration preventing property. For this reason, the sleeve 18 is covered here to block the penetration of contaminants into the joint. Thereby, the penetration of the contaminant into the cladding tube 12 in the pipe line 10 is prevented by the coating layer 22, and the penetration of the contaminant into the connecting portion such as the joint portion of the cladding tube 12 is prevented by the sleeve 18. The solvent penetration preventing performance of the entire pipe line 10 is exhibited.

  Further, the shape of the connecting portion of the pipe line 10 is complicated by the electric fusion joint 16 and the T-shaped tube 14, but the entire portion is covered with the sleeve 18, and the end of the sleeve 18 is covered with a simple shape of the covering tube 12. If the sleeve 18 is brought into close contact with the cladding tube 12 with a tape, the connecting portion can be easily covered without a gap. Thereby, workability | operativity improves, Moreover, since a sealing performance improves, solvent penetration prevention property can also be improved.

  In addition, 12a, 12b, and 12c of the cladding tube, and 16a, 16b, and 16c of the electric fusion joint are subscripts a, b, and c attached to 12 and 16, respectively. Since these subscripts are given to distinguish these because the connecting positions of the cladding tube 12 and the electric fusion joint 16 in the pipe line 10 are different, 12 and 16 are respectively 12a, 12b and 12c, And 16a, 16b and 16c.

  Further, the joint used for joining the cladding tube 12 and the like is not limited to the electric fusion joint 16 and may be a heat fusion joint or the like.

  Furthermore, regarding the barrier layer 36 of the sheet 24 shown in FIG. 5, the position of the PET layer 30 on which the vapor deposition layer 28 is vapor-deposited and the position of the nylon layer 32 may be reversed. That is, the barrier layer 36 is formed by laminating the nylon layer 32, the PET layer 30 on which the vapor deposition layer 28 is vapor deposited, and the PET layer 34 in this order from the fusion layer 26 side.

  Further, the barrier layer 36 can be replaced with the barrier layer 46 shown in FIG. The barrier layer 46 is a laminate of the PET layer 30 and the nylon layer 32 on which the deposition layer 28 is deposited, and the sheet 48 is sequentially laminated on the PET layer 30 on which the fusion layer 26, the nylon layer 32 and the deposition layer 28 are deposited. Formed.

  Furthermore, the barrier layer 36 can be replaced with the barrier layer 50 shown in FIG. The barrier layer 50 is the PET layer 30 on which the vapor deposition layer 28 is vapor-deposited. In this case, the vapor deposition layer 28 is disposed on the fusion layer 26 side. The sheet 52 is formed by laminating the PET layer 30 on which the fusing layer 26 and the vapor deposition layer 28 are deposited.

  In place of the sleeve 18 shown in FIG. 3A, a sleeve generally used for preventing solvent penetration can be used. As shown in FIG. 20, the sleeve 54 is formed of a material having a solvent permeation preventive property, and includes a layer made of a material such as nylon, ethylene vinyl alcohol, or aluminum film having a gas permeability lower than that of a polyolefin resin, for example. It is a sheet or film.

  Specifically, the sleeve 54 may have a five-layer structure in which an outer layer made of a polyolefin-based synthetic resin or the like is laminated above and below an inner layer made of nylon or the like by coextrusion or the like via an adhesive layer. Alternatively, it may have a three-layer structure in which a layer made of a polyolefin engaging resin is laminated on the outside of a layer made of simply nylon or the like via an adhesive layer. As commercially available products, for example, “Ipoly Oil Guard” (trade name) manufactured by Inoac Corporation and “S Protect Sleeve” (trade name) manufactured by San-S Gogo Kogyo Co., Ltd. may be used.

  21 is substantially the same as the conduit 10 shown in FIG. 1, but the connection of the conduit 10 and the shape of the sleeve are different. In the pipe line 10 shown in FIG. 1, for example, the cladding pipe 12 and the T-shaped pipe 14 are connected by three electric fusion joints 16, and this connection portion is covered with a sleeve 18 formed in a T shape. On the other hand, in the pipe line 10 shown in FIG. 21, for example, two cladding pipes 12 are connected using one electric fusion joint 16, and this connection portion is covered with a sleeve 56 formed linearly. . The other parts are the same as those of the pipe line 10 shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the sleeve 56 uses, for example, two sheets 24 that are cut into a rectangular shape and overlaps each other with the fusion layers 26 of the sheets 24 facing each other. And the edge part 24f of the sheet | seat 24 is bonded together by heat sealing etc., and the sheet | seat 24 is made into a cylinder shape. The overlapped seal portion 24 f is in the shape of a band and is formed at both ends of the sleeve 10 over the length direction of the sleeve 10.
