Description

  The present invention relates to a water stop band attached to a pipe.

  In general, when providing a watertight member having a watertight structure in a pipe body such as a water pipe, by tightening the watertight member on the outer peripheral side toward the pipe body located on the inner peripheral side using a tightening member, A water stop band is used to secure both.

  As this type of water stop band, for example, what are called a split type band, a worm gear band, and a band it are well known.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the split-type band 10 connects the saddle members 11 and 11 by connecting the opposing flange portions 11a and 11a of the arc-shaped saddle members 11 and 11 using bolts 15a and nuts 15b. It is connected in a ring shape. By screwing the bolt 15a into the nut 15b, the water stop member (water-tight member) 2 provided on the outer periphery of the tube body p is tightened to the inner diameter side, and the water stop member 2 is in close contact with and fixed to the tube body p. .

Further, for example, there is a water stop band 10 'shown in FIG. The waterstop band 10 'is provided with a C-shaped band portion 11' covering the outer periphery of the pipe joint portion, and bolt fastening portions 12, 12 provided at opposite ends of the C-shaped band portion 11 '. Is configured.
Each bolt fastening portion 12 is formed in an annular shape by folding both ends of the band portion 11 outward in the radial direction and fixing the folded portion to the outer surface of the band portion 11 by welding or the like.

A metal washer 13 and a metal nut 14 having a shaft shape or a cylindrical shape are inserted into the bolt fastening portion 12. Each of the metal washer 13 and the metal nut 14 has a bolt insertion hole orthogonal to the axial direction in a part of its axial or cylindrical body, and among these, the bolt insertion hole of the metal nut 14 has a bolt insertion hole. A female thread portion is formed.
The C-shaped band portion 11 ′ is directed to the outer periphery of the pipe joint portion, the bolt fastening portions 12, 12 are opposed to each other in the circumferential direction, and the connecting bolt 15 is inserted into the metal washer 13.

JP-B-2-53669 JP 2001-193877 A

According to the water stop band 10 shown in FIG. 5, the arc-shaped band portions 11, 11 are configured to be fastened with bolts 15 a and nuts 15 b, and therefore a gap w between the flange portions 11 a, 11 a of the band portions 11, 11. Intervenes.
For this reason, there is a problem that the surface pressure (surface pressure tightened in the inner diameter direction) by the tightening member 5 does not act on the water stop member 2 on the outer periphery of the pipe body p corresponding to the gap w. If the water stop band 10 is tightened too much, a gap may be formed between the pipe body p and the water stop member 2.

  Similarly, when the water stop band 10 ′ shown in FIG. 6 is used, the C-shaped band portion 11 ′ is discontinuous between the bolt fastening portions 12 and 12 facing each other. There is a problem that the surface pressure by the tightening member 5 does not act on the outer periphery of the tubular body p corresponding to the portion.

In this regard, according to the worm gear band or band-it, the discontinuous portion as described above can be set to a minimum range. However, in general, the worm gear band is composed of a thin plate-like fastening member wound around the tube body and a worm gear portion that fastens the fastening member in the inner diameter direction, and is high at the connection portion between the fastening member and the worm gear portion. I cannot expect strength. For this reason, the use is limited to a small-diameter tube and a tube intended for a low-pressure fluid.
Further, since Bandit has a weak tightening force, its use is also limited to a small-diameter tube and a tube intended for a low-pressure fluid.

  Therefore, the present invention continuously applies the surface pressure by the fastening member for fixing the watertight member to the outer periphery of the tubular body on the entire outer periphery of the tubular body, and also provides a large-diameter tubular body and a high-pressure fluid. It is an issue to make a water stop band that can cope with the situation.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is configured such that a tubular member is fitted to the outer periphery of a tubular body, and the outer periphery of the tubular member is tightened to the inner diameter side by a tightening member. In the waterstop band for fixing the tubular member, the fastening member has a band portion wound around the entire outer periphery of the tubular member, and both ends of the band portion in the winding direction are pipes. Winding in an overlapping direction around the axis to form overlapping portions, and locking portions are provided at both ends in the winding direction, respectively, and around the locking portions outside the overlapping portion of the band portion. Each of the locked portions facing each other is provided, and each of the locking portions and each of the locked portions facing each of the locking portions are locked and pulled in the circumferential direction. All-round tightening characterized by having locking means for tightening the part to the inner diameter side over the entire circumference Adopting the configuration of the Yotomesui band.

Since the band member that can be wound around the entire outer periphery of the cylindrical member is used as the tightening member, an overlapping part that is wound in the direction overlapping the tube axis is formed in the band part. Including the cylindrical member and the band part can be continuously adhered over the entire circumference.
Also, locking portions are provided at both ends of the band portion, i.e., at both ends in the circumferential direction of the overlapping portion, and each locking portion and a locked portion provided outside the overlapping portion are provided. Since each is configured to be locked and pulled, the surface pressure by the tightening member can be continuously applied to the entire outer periphery of the tubular body.

When the band part is wound around the entire outer periphery of the cylindrical member, for example, the both ends in the winding direction of the band part can be overlapped in the radial direction to be doubled. However, when both end portions of the band portion are overlapped in the radial direction, the end portion on the radially inner side of the both end portions is hidden by the band portion on the radially outer side, and as a result, on the hidden side The locking portion provided at the end is also hidden, and it is difficult to lock and tighten the locked portion.
For this reason, a hole penetrating in the radial direction is formed in the band portion located on the radially outer side of the overlapping portion, and the end portion located on the radially inner side is inserted into the hole. The method of pulling out to the outer diameter side is mentioned. If it does in this way, both ends of a band part will be exposed to the outer diameter side, respectively, and it will become easy to carry out latching and tightening of a locking part and a locked part which counters the locking part.

  Moreover, you may arrange | position as a process of the said overlapping part so that the band part concerning an overlapping part may be juxtaposed in a pipe-axis direction, without overlapping in a radial direction. In this way, both end portions of the band portion are not exposed and hidden on the outer diameter side.

Further, both end portions in the winding direction of the band portion are comb-toothed with a plurality of projecting pieces extending in the circumferential direction in parallel along the tube axis direction, and the overlapping portion in the winding state includes the winding portion. You may employ | adopt the structure which each protrusion piece of a rotation direction both ends alternately parallel in a pipe-axis direction.
If both ends of the band portion are comb-shaped and the protruding pieces of the opposing comb teeth are alternately arranged in the tube axis direction, the protruding pieces and the recesses of the opposing comb teeth are mutually connected. Surface pressure is applied to the expansion / contraction cover in a meshed state. For this reason, the surface pressure acting on the overlapping portion can be maintained in a more uniform state without discontinuity.

  In this invention, the surface pressure by the tightening member for fixing the watertight member to the outer periphery of the tube body is continuously applied to the entire outer periphery of the tube body, and also to a large-diameter tube body and a high-pressure fluid. It can be set as the water stop band which can respond.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the all-around fastening water stop band of this embodiment is a water pipe bridge provided by connecting the abutments A and A when the water pipe crosses a river, a road, a railroad, etc. Used for B.

  The telescopic tube 1 is provided with a tube body 1a having a diameter slightly larger than that of the tube body p on the outer periphery of a joint portion between the tube bodies p and p, and a sealing material 1b fixed by a ring-shaped fixing member 1c. Normally, the pipes p and p that are abutted are fixed to each other at a distance t. When a large external force is applied when the pipe expands or contracts due to a temperature change, a slip occurs between the sealing material 1b and the fixing member 1c and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body p, and the water pipe has its pipe axis. It can be expanded and contracted along the direction.

The outer periphery of the expansion tube 1 is covered with a rubber expansion / contraction cover (cylindrical member) 2 over the entire periphery and the entire length thereof. The stretchable cover 2 is constructed by winding a flexible watertight rubber sheet having flexibility and stretchability into a cylindrical shape. Both ends in the axial direction of the expansion / contraction cover 2 are fastened to the inner diameter side by the fastening members 5 with respect to the fixtures 3 and 3 of the pipes p and p on both sides of the expansion / contraction tube 1 and fixed in a watertight manner. Has been.
When the telescopic tube 1 is detached from the tube body p due to the earthquake motion, the telescopic cover 2 is deformed, and the water tightness of both the tube bodies p and p is maintained via the telescopic cover 2. For this reason, leakage of the water pipe bridge B is prevented, and the water flow function is not hindered.

  In this embodiment, the fixture 3 employs an annular member having an H-shaped cross section, and is fixed to the outer periphery of the pipe body p by welding. The fixture 3 may be fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the tube body p by fastening or the like. The rubber sheet may be a tube formed in a cylindrical shape in advance, or a flat sheet may be wound once (see FIG. 2 (c)) or wound twice or more. (See FIG. 2D) to form a cylinder. Further, two or more rubber sheets may be used in combination, and may be fixed by winding once or twice or more if necessary (see FIG. 2 (e)).

  The fastening member 5 employs a metal fixing band 20 shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration of the fixing band 20 is a flat metal sheet having a length L2 that is slightly shorter than the circumferential length L1 in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the fixture 3 around which the telescopic cover 2 is wound.

  The entire length of the band portion 21 including the seat portion S and the locking portions 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b (the total length in the winding direction around the tube axis of the tube body p) L5 is greater than the circumferential length L1. Is also getting longer. For this reason, in the state which wound the band part 21 on the outer periphery of the said expansion-contraction cover 2, as shown in FIG.2 (b), the winding direction both ends 22,23 of the said band part 21 overlap with the circumferential direction. An overlapping portion L4 that is a portion wound in the direction is formed.

  In addition, with the band portion 21 wound around the outer periphery of the telescopic cover 2, as shown in FIG. 2B, the locking portion 22a and the locked portion 22b corresponding thereto are also locked. The part 23a and the corresponding locked part 23b face each other with a distance L3 in the circumferential direction.

  Each of the locking portions 22a and 23a and the locked portions 22b and 23b is formed by folding a metal sheet made of the same material as the sheet S in half and welding the overlapped metal sheets. The annular portion is formed by joining with the like.

Each of the locking portions 22a and 23a becomes a protruding piece that protrudes and extends in the circumferential direction from the edge of the sheet portion S, and a plurality of the protruding pieces are arranged in parallel along the tube axis direction to form a comb tooth shape. Yes. In other words, a plurality of the locking portions 22a and 23a are provided in a comb shape in parallel.
Similarly, the locked portions 22b and 23b facing the locking portions 22a and 23a in the circumferential direction are also provided in a comb-like shape.

  In this embodiment, the locking portion 22a and the locked portion 22b are arranged at three positions in the direction orthogonal to the length L2 direction of the sheet portion S, and the locking portion 23a and the locked portion 23b are set at four equal intervals, respectively. Is provided.
