  As shown in FIG. 1, an air valve AV is provided at each predetermined position of the fluid pipe P in order to discharge air in the tap water flowing through the pipe of the fluid pipe P, or so that the inside of the pipe does not become negative pressure. The air valve AV is attached to the upper end of a branch pipe B branched from the fluid pipe P via a flange. When the fluid pipe P has a large diameter, the branch pipe B may be provided as an air valve flange lid at the upper part of the human hole.

  Normally, a repair valve V that opens and closes the flow from the branch pipe B during repair and adjustment of the air valve AV is attached to a flange provided on the branch pipe B of the fluid pipe P, and a flange is provided at the upper end of the repair valve V. An air valve AV is attached via the air valve (see FIG. 13).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the air valve AV not provided with the repair valve V, or the air valve or the like in which the repair valve V has been stopped due to failure or the like even if the repair valve V is provided may be replaced. However, there are many cases where the branch pipe B to which the air valve AV is attached is thinned or leaked due to corrosion or the like, and it is necessary to repair the branch pipe B. A branch pipe repair method is adopted.

  Hereinafter, a method of repairing the branch pipe B branched from the fluid pipe P and attached with the air valve AV and the like in a continuous flow will be described.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, after the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe P is cleaned, the sealing member 1 is attached to the fluid pipe P in a watertight manner so that the on-off valve 5 is disposed at a position facing the branch pipe B. After the sealing member 1 is attached, a flange lid is installed on the on-off valve 5 and a water pressure test is performed to confirm water tightness.

  The sealing member 1 is attached to the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P in a water-tight manner, and is a branching member in which an opening / closing valve 5 is attached to a branch flange 2b provided at the tip of the branch pipe portion 2a facing the direction substantially perpendicular to the pipe axis of the fluid pipe P. 2 and a band member 3 to which a flange portion 2c and a flange portion 3b of a branching member 2 provided opposite to each other are fastened by a fastening member 4 and attached.

  The branch flange 2b is slidably inserted into the inner peripheral surface of the branch pipe portion 2a of the branch member 2, and the water stop packing provided on the fluid pipe P side is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the pipe to stop the water. An adjustment bolt that is provided across the branch pipe portion 2a and the branch flange 2b and that is relatively moved and fixed is provided. Even after the branch member 2 and the band member 3 are attached to the fluid pipe P, the water stop packing can be pressed against the fluid pipe P by operating the adjusting bolt.

  The band member 3 is provided at a predetermined interval across the branch pipe B, and is substantially parallel to the band portion 3a formed over the outer circumference of the fluid pipe P over a substantially half circumference and the pipe axis of the fluid pipe P. And the flange portions 3b provided on both sides of the fluid pipe P, divided at the top of the pipe and integrated with bolts and nuts, and the band portions 3a and 3a are spaced apart so that they are covered from above the air valve AV. And can be attached to the fluid pipe P.

  The on-off valve 5 attached to the branch flange 2b is a gate valve that opens and closes the passage by moving the valve body by rotating the valve shaft. When the valve body 5a is closed, the fluid pipe P is watertight. A closed space is formed inside the branch pipe portion 2a of the branch member 2 attached to the.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, a known perforator 13 (perforation device) is attached to the on-off valve 5, the valve body 5a of the on-off valve 5 is opened, and the cylindrical hole saw cutter 13a is not shown in the hydraulic pressure. An insertion port 14 having a diameter larger than that of the water stop member 8 described later is drilled in the peripheral wall of the fluid pipe P by a rotation operation by a motor or the like and by a feeding action by a rotation operation of the handle 13b. After completion of drilling, the hole saw cutter 13a is pulled back to the punching machine 13 side while collecting the section by reverse rotation operation of the handle 13b, and after closing the valve body 5a of the on-off valve 5, the punching machine 13 is removed from the on-off valve 5. .

  An insertion port 14 pierced by a piercing machine 13 attached to the on-off valve 5 disposed at a position facing the branch pipe B is provided at a position facing the branch pipe B.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the insertion / ejection device 6 as an insertion / ejection means is installed in place of the punch 13. The insertion / extraction device 6 mainly inserts / discharges the insertion / extraction flange 7 attached to the on-off valve 5, the water stop member 8 having the water stop body 8a for closing the branch pipe B, and the water stop member 8 attached to the shaft 9. The apparatus 10 is comprised from the support | pillars 11 and 11 which support this actuator 10, and the clamping tools 12 and 12 which attach the support | pillars 11 and 11 to the fluid pipe P at predetermined intervals.

  The insertion / ejection flange 7 is formed with a flange that is attached to the on-off valve 5 in a watertight manner, and a shaft 9 penetrates in a watertight manner at a substantially central portion, and a concave accommodating portion that can accommodate the water stop member 8 is formed.

  The water stop member 8 is detachably attached to a shaft 9 and a water stop body 8a made of an elastic body formed in a conical shape for stopping water by contacting a branch port BE of a connection portion of the branch pipe B with the fluid pipe P. And a support 8c that receives a reaction force when the waterstop 8a is pressed against the branch port BE. The outer diameter of the waterstop member 8 is larger than the inner diameter of the branch pipe B and is larger than that of the insertion port 14. Set small.

  A pair of struts 11 and 11 detachably attached by bolts to the flanges of the clamps 12 and 12 detachably attached to the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P on both sides of the sealing member 1 have a hollow cylindrical shape. The actuator 10 is attached to both ends of the guide portion 10a.

  The actuating device 10 is provided with a handle 10b at the center, and a guide 10a having a built-in mechanism for operating the advance / retreat member provided at both ends by rotating the handle 10b to advance and retract the feed screw 10c into the support column 11. The shaft 9 is fixed substantially at the center, and the fixing member 10d is fixed to both ends with feed screws 10c and 10c. (See Figure 5)

  When the handle 10b of the guide portion 10a is rotated, the feed screw 10c advances and retreats with respect to the column 11 by the advance and retreat mechanism, and the shaft 9 fixed to the fixing member 10d also advances and retreats with respect to the fluid pipe P.

  After installing the insertion / ejection device 6, as shown in FIG. 5, the valve body 5 a of the on-off valve 5 is opened, the handle 10 b of the guide portion 10 a is rotated forward, and the water stop member 8 is moved in the direction of the branch pipe B. When the predetermined delivery is finished, the rotation of the handle 10b is finished. The sent water stop member 8 enters the fluid pipe P from the insertion port 14 opened by the punching machine 13, contacts the branch port BE of the branch pipe B facing the insertion port 14, and the water stop body 8a is in close contact therewith. Thus, the flow from the fluid pipe P to the branch pipe B is interrupted. Since the waterstop 8a is formed in a conical shape, the centering is automatically performed with respect to the branch port BE and can be brought into close contact with the shape of the branch port BE, thereby enhancing the water stop effect. The waterstop 8a has the same effect even in a truncated cone shape with the tip cut off.

  After the water stop member 8 is sent to a predetermined position, it is confirmed whether the water stop from the air valve AV to the branch pipe B is completed. If the water stop is not sufficient, the handle 10b is further rotated forward. The water-stopping member 8 is further fed in the direction of the branch B, and the water-stopping body 8a is strengthened in pressure bonding to stop the water.

  If the operation of removing the rust around the branch port BE of the branch pipe B is performed before the water stop member 8 is sent out to stop the water, the water stoppage is improved.

  After the water stop on the side of the branch pipe B has been confirmed, as shown in FIG. 6, the branch pipe B is closed by the water stop member 8, so the root of the branch pipe B is cut with a grinder or the like. Separate from the fluid pipe P and remove. After removal, the cut surface is cleanly polished, and a rust preventive material is applied to the cut surface and its surroundings.

  Next, a new branch pipe NB is installed with the branch cores aligned, welded, and attached to the fluid pipe P. The branch pipe NB is a short pipe in which a flange is formed at an upper portion and a predetermined diameter is provided at a lower end, and a reinforcing portion NBa formed along the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P is attached with a rib NBb. Since the welding for attaching the branch pipe NB to the fluid pipe P is performed at the peripheral end of the reinforcing part NBa, there is a distance between the welded part and the water stop member 8a, and heat is taken away by the internal fluid. The heat generated by welding does not affect the water stop performance of the water stop member 8a.

  When the attachment of the branch pipe NB is completed, the repair valve V and the air valve AV are attached to the flange of the branch pipe NB as shown in FIG. The repair valve V and the air valve AV may be installed before the branch pipe NB is attached by welding.

  After the repair valve V and the air valve AV are attached to the branch pipe NB, the handle 10b of the guide portion 10a is reversely rotated to retract the water stop member 8 from the fluid pipe P, and the rear side of the valve body 5a of the on-off valve 5 The water stop member 8 is recovered from the fluid pipe P, and the valve body 5a of the on-off valve 5 is closed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the insertion / ejection flange 7 is removed from the opening / closing valve 5, a close-fitting plug 15 is attached to the shaft 9 instead of the water stop member 8, and the insertion / ejection flange 7 is attached to the opening / closing valve 5 again.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the close-fitting plug 15 is detachably attached to the water-stopping body 15 a made of an elastic body that is pinched by the pressing body 15 b and the support body 15 c and is in close contact with the insertion port 14 to stop water, and the shaft 9. A support 15c that is attached and receives a reaction force when the waterstop 15a is pinched by the movement of the pressing body 15b, and a rotation that moves the pressing body 15b along the screw shaft 15e fixed to the pressing body 15b by rotating. It is comprised from the body 15d.

  The screw shaft 15e is chamfered on both sides and fixed to the pressing body 15b. The screw shaft 15e is non-rotatably inserted into a through hole provided in the center of the water stop body 15a and the support body 15c, and the rotating body 15d is screwed into the tip thereof. ing.

  The water stop body 15a and the pressing body 15b are curved in an arc shape that follows the diameter of the fluid pipe P.

  In addition, the support 15c bulges to form a protrusion 15f that abuts the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P to prevent excessive insertion, and a screw hole 15g that is attached to a flange provided at the end of the shaft 9 with a bolt is screwed. It is installed.

  The close-contact plug 15 configured in this way is provided inside the shaft 9 and is rotated in synchronism with rotation of the angular head 10f formed at the end of the shaft 9 on the fixing member 10d side. The engaging portion formed at one end is fitted to the rotating body 15d, and is detachably fixed to the flange at the end of the shaft 9 by a bolt, and the insertion / ejection flange 7 is attached to the on-off valve.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 9, the valve body 5 a of the on-off valve 5 is opened, the handle 10 b of the guide portion 10 a is rotated forward, the close-contact plug 15 is sent in the direction of the insertion port 14, and the close-contact plug 15 is When the provided projection 15f comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe P and reaches a predetermined position, when the corner head 10f is rotated, the spindle 10e rotates and the rotating body 15d also rotates, and the pressing body 15b is supported. The water stop body 15a is clamped by moving in the direction of the body 15c, and the water stop body 15a bulges and comes into close contact with the insertion port 14 to stop water. Since the waterstop 15a is in close contact with the cut surface of the insertion port 14, it is possible to prevent rust from being generated on the cut surface.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the fastening member 4 of the sealing member 1 is removed in a state in which the close-off plug 15 is pressed by the shaft 9 to prevent it from coming off, and the branch member 2 and the band member 3 are separated.

  Thereafter, the band member 3 is removed from the fluid pipe P, and the branching member 2 and the on-off valve 5 are separated from the fluid pipe P in a state of being supported by the insertion / extraction device 6 to secure a working space around the tight plug 15 The stopper 15 and the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe P are partially welded and temporarily fixed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 11, the shaft 9, the struts 11 and 11, the sandwiching tools 12 and 12, and the insertion / extraction device 6 are removed from the fluid pipe P. The close-fitting plug body 15 closes the insertion port 14 and is fixed by welding so that it does not come out.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12, a protective member 17 covering the close-fitting plug 15 is welded to the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe P and attached in a watertight manner. The protective member 17 includes a cap portion 17a that covers the close-contact plug body 15 from the outer periphery, a reinforcing portion 17b that extends along the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe P, and a holding member 17c that contacts the close-contact plug body 15 and prevents the plug member 15 from coming out. After the protective member 17 is attached, the holding member 17c is operated from the outside, protrudes to the inner surface, and makes contact with the contact plug 15.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 13, a filler is injected into the protective member 17 from one of two sockets (not shown) to fill the inside, and then the two sockets are closed. By installing the protective member 17 in a watertight manner, the insertion port 14 is double watertightly closed, and the repairing operation of the branch pipe B is completed.

  Therefore, according to the method for repairing the branch pipe as described above, the perforator 13 can be used to connect the fluid pipe P to the fluid pipe P without installing a device such as a conventional sealed case above or around the branch pipe B or the air valve AV. Since the insertion port 14 is provided and the water stop member 8 can be inserted into the fluid pipe P from the insertion port 14 to stop the branch pipe B, the work space is provided above and around the branch pipe B and the air valve AV. Even if there is no, the attachment / detachment of the pipe connecting member can be performed with continuous water. Since the branch pipe is water-stopped by drilling an insertion port in the existing pipe, inserting a water-stopping member into the existing pipe from the insertion port, and closing the branch port, there is a problem with the existing pipe in an uninterrupted flow state. Since the existing branch pipe can be removed and a new branch pipe can be connected, the repair work of the branch pipe can be performed in an uninterrupted state with respect to the existing pipe.

  Moreover, since the insertion port 14 is pierced in the position opposite to the branch port BE of the branch pipe B, the branch port BE is stopped by simply inserting the water stop member 8 from the insertion port 14 by the insertion / ejection device 6. Therefore, the means for inserting and discharging the water-stopping member 8 can be simplified, and the structure of the inserting and discharging device 6 can be simplified.

  And since the operation apparatus 10 is supported by the support | pillars 11 and 11, and the water stop member 8 is inserted / discharged via the on-off valve 5 which attached the insertion / extraction flange 7 by the operation apparatus 10, it is reliably and reliably with indefinite water. The water stop member 8 can be driven.

  Furthermore, since the water stop member 8 can be driven only by rotating the handle 10b, the water stop member 8 can be inserted and discharged without requiring skill, and the branch pipe B can be repaired.

  Moreover, since the insertion port 14 is closed with the close-contact plug 15 and the close-contact plug 15 is covered with the protective member 17 in a water-tight manner, the water-tightness of the insertion port 14 is doubled and the safety against water-tightness is improved. Further, the close-contact plug 15 can be protected from external influences.

  In the above embodiment, the contact plug is fixed to the fluid pipe by welding, and then the protective member is attached. However, as described below, the contact plug is temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing member and the sealing member is fixed. May be removed and a protective member attached.

  After the fastening member 4 of the sealing member 1 is removed and the branch member 2 and the band member 3 are separated in a state in which the close-off plug 15 is pressed by the shaft 9 and prevented from coming off as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the half-cylindrical temporary fixing member 16 having a flange portion 16a that can be fastened with a flange portion 18f of a band member 18e, which will be described later, at both ends is brought into contact with the close-fitting plug body 15 to prevent it from coming out. The band member 18e and the fastening member 4 are fastened and installed.

  At this time, the band member 3 of the sealing member 1 is removed, and the branch member 2 and the on-off valve 5 separated from the band member 3 are supported by the insertion / ejection device 6, and the close-fitting plug 15 is a temporary fixing member 16. The sealed state of the insertion port 14 is maintained by being pressed and held.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 16, the shaft 9 is removed from the close-fitting plug body 15 that has been prevented from being pulled out by the temporary fixing member 16, the handle 10 b is rotated reversely, the shaft 9 is moved backward, and then inserted into the on-off valve 5. The connection with the discharge flange 7 is released, and the branch member 2 and the on-off valve 5 are removed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 17, in the state where the tightly plugged member 15 is pressed and held by the temporary fixing member 16, the handle 10 b of the actuator 10 is rotated in the forward direction at the tip of the shaft 9 through which the protective member 18 described later is inserted and held. Then, it is brought into contact with the close-fitting plug body 15 and pressed and held again by the shaft 9.

  The protective member 18 is formed in a half pipe shape, provided with a flange portion 18b corresponding to the flange portion 18f of the band member 18e, and formed with a pressing portion 18c that contacts the outer surface of the close-fitting plug body 15, A boss 18d having an insertion opening for inserting the shaft 9 is provided.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18, the fastening member 4 is removed, the temporary fixing member 16 and the band member 18e are separated, the temporary fixing member 16 is removed, and the protective member 18 inserted and held in the shaft 9 is moved. The flange portion 18b and the band member 18e of the protective member 18 are securely fixed to the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P in a state where they are in contact with one side of the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P. In this case, the band member 18e is not necessarily used, and the band member 3 as a sealing member may be used.

  After the protective member 18 is attached to the outer periphery of the fluid pipe P in a watertight manner, the shaft 9, the columns 11 and 11, the sandwiching tools 12 and 12, and the insertion / ejection device 6 are removed. Finally, as shown in FIG. The cap 18a is screwed into the inner periphery of the boss 18d in a watertight manner, whereby the insertion port 14 is double watertightly closed, the branch pipe B is repaired and replaced with the branch pipe NB, and the operation is completed.

  If the repair method as described above is taken, the protective member can be attached without welding to the fluid pipe B.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the close-contact plug 15 which plugs the insertion port 14 was installed using the insertion / extraction apparatus 6 which inserts / discharges the water stop member 8 which plugs the branch port BE, it is each another apparatus. The water stop member 8 can be inserted and discharged with an insertion / extraction device 6 ′ as shown in FIG. 20, and the contact plug 15 can be installed with the insertion / extraction device 6.

  The insertion / ejection device 6 ′ is attached to the shaft 9 ′, an insertion / ejection flange 7 ′ attached to the on-off valve 5 as in the insertion / ejection device 6, a water stop member 8 ′ having a water stop body 8 a for closing the branch pipe B, and the like. It comprises an actuating device 10 ′ for inserting and discharging the water stop member 8 ′ and struts 11 ′ and 11 ′ for supporting the actuating device 10.
