The guide portion 9 protrudes forward and is formed to extend to the left and right, and guides a second block 4 described later to be slidable. The first block 3 is provided with a handle 10 that extends upward (on the opposite side to the direction in which the load receiving portion extends).

  The second block 4 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, a second block main body portion 11 whose upper surface is in contact with the lower surface of the guide portion 9, and a pressing portion 12 that extends downward from the second block main body portion 11. Is provided. The pressing portion 12 is supported by the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and presses the long material 1 positioned between the load receiving portions 6 and 6 toward the groove 7 and is formed in a columnar shape. . The pressing portion 12 is formed to extend downward from the lower surface of the second block main body portion 11 in parallel with the load receiving portions 6, 6, and the tip (lower end) of the pressing portion 12 is the load receiving portions 6, 6. It is formed so as to be flush with the tip (lower end). A long material insertion port 13 for inserting the long material 1 from the side surface is formed between the distal ends of the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and the distal end of the pressing portion. The second block main body portion 11 has a support surface 14 for positioning the long material 1 on the lower surface behind the pressing portion 12.

  The moving mechanism 5 includes a bolt 15 inserted through the first block 3 and the second block 4 and a nut 16 screwed into the bolt 15. The moving mechanism 5 rotates the nut 16 in the tightening direction. Two blocks 4 are brought close to each other. The bolt 15 is preferably a hexagonal bolt, and the nut 16 is preferably a hexagonal nut. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other types of bolts and nuts may be used.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the long material 1 is welded to a plurality of vibration preventing plates 17 for suppressing vibration of the heat transfer tubes of the steam generator 40 of the pressurized water reactor, and these vibration preventing plates 17 are supported. When the long material 1 is welded in order from one end side to the vibration preventing plate 17 when the long material 1 is bent by the heat of welding and is out of the welding position of the vibration preventing plate 17 The long material 1 is bent so as to return to the welding position. Specifically, first, the portion of the long material 1 to be bent is inserted between the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and the pressing portion 12 from the long material insertion port 13 of the bending tool 2. At this time, the bending tool 2 is arranged so that the pressing portion 12 is positioned on the inner peripheral side of the portion of the long material 1 to be bent.

  Thereafter, while holding the handle 10, the nut 16 is turned with a tool such as a torque wrench 18. The second block 4 advances in a direction approaching the first block 3 while being abutted against the guide portion 9 and is prevented from rotating, and the long material 1 is supported by the two load receiving portions 6 and 6 and the load receiving portion 6. The long material 1 in the span between 6 and 6 is pushed and bent by the pressing portion 12 in the direction of the groove 7. The long material 1 is bent while drawing the long material 1 on the free end side which is not welded into the groove 7 as it is bent. The long material 1 is smoothly bent while sliding along the curved surface 8 of the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and the outer peripheral surface of the pressing portion 12.

  When it is desired to bend the long material 1 before being welded to the vibration preventing plate 17, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the long material insertion port of the bending tool 2 is used. The long material 1 is inserted between the load receiving portions 6, 6 and the pressing portion 12 from 13, and the long material 1 is brought into contact with the support surface 14 of the second block 4. Thereby, the long material 1 is positioned with respect to the load receiving parts 6 and 6 and the pressing part 12. Thereafter, while holding the handle 10, the nut 16 is turned with a tool such as a torque wrench 18.

  Furthermore, when it is desired to bend the long material 1 three-dimensionally, as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b), the linear long material 1 is bent using the bending tool 2 as described above. After bending (in-plane bending), the long material 1 is rotated by 90 ° with respect to the two load receiving portions 6 and 6, as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). The posture of the long material 1 is changed so that the bending center of the long material 1 is located above or below the bent portion of the long material 1, and the load receiving portions 6, 6 and the pressing portion 12 are connected from the long material insertion port 13. The long material 1 is inserted therebetween, and the nut 16 is turned with a tool such as a torque wrench 18 while holding the handle 10. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6A, FIG. 6B, and FIG. 6C, the long material 1 bent in the vertical direction can be further bent in the front-rear direction. 3D bending (out-of-plane bending) is possible.

  As described above, the first block 3 having the two load receiving portions 6 and 6 for supporting two points separated from each other in the longitudinal direction of the long material 1 and the groove 7 between the load receiving portions 6 and 6, The second block 4 having a pressing portion 12 that is supported by the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and presses the long material 1 positioned between the load receiving portions 6 and 6 toward the groove 7, and the first block 3. On the other hand, since the bending tool 2 is configured by including the moving mechanism 5 for moving the second block 4 forward and backward in the pressing direction of the pressing portion 12, a compact and simple structure can be achieved, and the working space in the steam generator 40 and the like is narrow. The long material 1 can be easily bent even at a place.

  Since the two load receiving portions 6 and 6 are formed to extend in parallel downward, and the pressing portion 12 is formed to extend downward in parallel to the load receiving portions 6 and 6, the long material 1 is supported by a line. In contrast, the conventional bending device such as a pipe bender can bend the long material 1 only in the in-plane direction, but can also bend in the out-of-plane direction. It can cope with various deformations.

  The tip of the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and the tip of the pressing portion 12 are formed on the same plane, and the long material 1 is inserted from the side between the tip of the load receiving portions 6 and 6 and the tip of the pressing portion 12. Since the long material insertion port 13 is formed, the bending tool 2 can be easily set on the long material 1 even when a part of the long material 1 is welded to the vibration preventing plate 17. The long material 1 can be easily bent at a desired position.

  Since the second block 4 is formed with a support surface 14 that is orthogonal to the pressing portion 12 and for positioning the long material 1, a linear length before being welded to the vibration preventing plate 17. When bending the length material 1, the posture of the length material 1 can be easily made at right angles to the load receiving portions 6, 6 and the pressing portion 12, and the length material 1 can be easily and accurately. Can be bent.

  Since the first block 3 is provided with a handle 10 that extends in the direction opposite to the extending direction of the load receiving portions 6, 6, the bending tool 2 can be easily pressed and the nut 16 can be easily tightened. it can.

  In addition, by preparing a plurality of second blocks 4 having different intervals between the load receiving portions 6 and 6 in advance and replacing the second blocks 4 as appropriate, the bending radius of the long material 1 can be freely adjusted. It can cope with local bending of the scale 1.

  In addition, although the elongate material 1 demonstrated the case where it consists of a support body welded to the vibration prevention board 17 of the steam generator 40, it does not restrict to this. The long material 1 may be a round bar or a pipe. For example, when a part of an existing pipe is replaced with a new pipe, both ends of the new pipe do not match the connection position of the existing pipe. By using the bending tool 2, piping can be easily bent on site.

  Further, although the handle 10 is provided in the first block 3, the handle 10 may be provided in the second block 4.

  Two load receiving portions 6 and 6 may be provided in the second block 4, and the pressing portion 12 may be provided in the first block 3.
