  However, the conventional split collar is generally a molded product that is injection-molded with a polyvinyl chloride material. As shown in FIG. 15a, the half member b that constitutes the split collar a is caused by stress generated during the molding process. In some cases, the side edges c, c are slightly close to each other and the opening is slightly narrowed. When the half member b in such a state is to be attached to the connection portion of the connection pipe e, the adhesive d applied to the inner peripheral surface of the side edge portion c of the half member b is applied to the connection pipe e. As shown in FIG. 15 b, there is a problem that the adhesive d is not sufficiently filled in the vicinity of the side edge portion c.

  Then, an object of this invention is to provide the connection member for pipe repair which can solve the said subject.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above problems, and comprises a pair of semi-cylindrical half members having an inner surface shape corresponding to the outer shape of the connecting portion between the connected pipes to be connected, Applying an adhesive to the inner peripheral surface of each half member, and sandwiching the pair of half members into the connecting portion with both side edges of the pair of half members butted together, A pipe repair connecting member for connecting and fixing each other, wherein an adhesive reservoir portion is recessed on the inner peripheral surface of the side edge portion of the half member, and the pair of half members are sandwiched between the connection portions. A pipe repair connecting member characterized in that an adhesive remains in the adhesive reservoir.

  When the adhesive reservoir is provided as described above, the adhesive can be sufficiently filled in the vicinity of the side edge portion with the pair of halved members sandwiched between the connection portions. The half member can be securely attached to the connecting portion between the pipes to be connected.

  Further, the adhesive reservoir portion is preferably constituted by an inclined portion inclined so as to reduce the thickness of the side edge portion.

  By adopting such a configuration, it is advantageous in terms of strength because an adhesive reservoir can be provided without causing stress concentration on the peripheral wall while securing a certain thickness of the peripheral wall of the side edge portion. .

By the way, as described above, when sufficient adhesive remains in the vicinity of the side edge of the half member, the half member becomes slippery with respect to the connected pipe due to the adhesive. There is a possibility that misalignment is likely to occur during installation work. For this reason, the following configuration is proposed.
That is, it is a configuration in which the positional deviation preventing means for engaging the pair of half members clamped to the connecting portion of the pipe to be connected is disposed on the outer peripheral surface near both side edges of the half member. .

  By adopting such a configuration, the pair of halved members are brought into an engaged state when sandwiched between the pipes to be connected, so that no positional deviation occurs.

  Further, the position misalignment prevention means includes a male position misalignment prevention means and a female type position misalignment prevention means that are engaged with each other. A set of male position deviation prevention means arranged on one side and the set arranged on one side and the set of male position deviation prevention means arranged on the other side are arranged on both sides with respect to the axis of the split member. The set of female position deviation prevention means arranged on the side and the set of female type position deviation prevention means arranged on the other side are respectively symmetrical with respect to a reference point set on the axis. Further, the pair of halved members have the same size and shape, and the pair of halved members are sandwiched between the connecting portions, and the male position shift prevention member disposed on one of the halved members is arranged. Alignment means and female mold position deviation prevention means, and female mold position deviation prevention arranged on the other half member And means and male displacement prevention means configured to engage is proposed.

  In such a configuration, regardless of the left and right orientations of each half member, when both side edges of the pair of half members are brought into contact with each other, each positional deviation prevention means of one half member and the other half are prevented. Since each position deviation prevention means of a split member engages appropriately, workability | operativity in repair work is very good.

  Further, the positional deviation prevention means has a convex shape, protrudes from the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of both side edges of the half member toward the abutting direction, and one side with respect to the axis of the half member The positional deviation prevention means arranged on the other side and the positional deviation prevention means arranged on the other side are arranged so as to be symmetric with respect to a reference point set on the axis, and further With the split member having the same size and shape and the pair of half members sandwiched between the connecting portions, the misalignment preventing means disposed on one half member and the misalignment disposed on the other half member. It is good also as a structure which the prevention means adjoins and this pair of half member engages.

  Even in such a configuration, regardless of the left and right orientations of each half member, if both side edges of the pair of half members are brought into contact with each other, the pair of half members are engaged and engaged. Workability is very good. In addition, this configuration has an advantage that the shape of the half member can be simplified.

  In addition, a number guide groove that guides a number wound around the halved member may be provided on the surface of the displacement prevention means.

  With such a configuration, it is not necessary to separately provide a guide means for guiding the number wire in the main body of the half member.

  The connecting member for repairing a pipe according to the present invention is filled with a sufficient amount of adhesive when attached to the connecting portion between the connected pipes, so that the connected pipe can be reliably connected and fixed.

  Hereinafter, the split collars 1A and 1B as the pipe repair connecting member of the present invention will be described.

<First Example>
As shown in FIG. 1, the split collar 1A is composed of a pair of half members 2A and 2B. The half member 2A (2B) has a semi-cylindrical shape in which a cylinder is divided in half along its central axis, and the inner surface shape thereof is the outer shape of the connecting portion 21 between the connected pipes 20 and 20 (see FIG. 4). It is set to correspond to. Specifically, the inner diameter of the half member 2 </ b> A (2 </ b> B) is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the connected pipe 20.

In the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the half member 2A (2B) is set to d1 = 100 mm (see FIG. 3), and the wall thickness at the intermediate portion is set to d3 = 4.5 mm (see FIG. 3). Yes. The half member 2A (2B) is formed of a molded body made of a vinyl chloride material.
The pair of half members 2A and 2B have the same size and shape, but for the sake of explanation, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper half member is 2A and the lower half member is 2B. .

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a cutting groove 6 is formed along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface of the half member 2 </ b> A (2 </ b> B) at the middle position thereof. It is also possible to forcibly cut the half member 2A (2B) along the line and use it as two half members having a short tube length.

Each half member 2A (2B) has side edge portions 3 and 3 in the axial direction that face each other, and the pair of half members 2A and 2B are formed on the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of the side edge portion 3. Position misalignment prevention means 10A, 10B, 11A, and 11B are provided for bringing the two into an engaged state.
More specifically, the positional deviation prevention means 10A, 10B, 11A, and 11B are composed of a male type positional deviation prevention means 10A (10B) and a female type positional deviation prevention means 11A (11B). The misalignment prevention means 10A (10B) is composed of a block body in which a number guide groove 13 for guiding a number 8 described later is recessed on the surface. Further, the female position deviation preventing means 11A (11B) includes two convex members 14 and 14 arranged in the direction of the axis L1. Further, the interval between the convex members 14 is the same as the horizontal width of the block body related to the male-type misalignment preventing means 10A (10B), and between the convex members 14 of the female-type misalignment preventing means 11A (11B). The male position deviation prevention means 10A (10B) is inserted from the upper side or the lower side so as to be fitted and engageable.

  Further, a set of male type misalignment prevention means 10A (10B) and female type misalignment prevention means 11A (11B) is arranged on both sides with reference to the axis L1 of the half member 2A (2B). . Then, the male position deviation preventing means 10A (10B) arranged on one side and the male position deviation preventing means 10A (10B) arranged on the other side have virtual reference points set on the axis L1. It is arranged so as to be point-symmetric with respect to the center. Similarly, the female position deviation preventing means 11A (11B) arranged on one side and the female type position deviation preventing means 11A (11B) arranged on the other side are also point-symmetric with respect to the reference point. Are arranged as follows.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the entire inner peripheral surface of the half member 2A (2B) is an adhesive portion 5A to which an adhesive 30 is applied, and the side edge portion 3 in the adhesive portion 5A. The adhesive reservoir portion 5B is recessed at the position. The adhesive reservoir portion 5B is applied with the adhesive 30 thicker than other portions (see FIG. 6).

  The adhesive reservoir portion 5B of the present embodiment is configured by an inclined portion that is inclined so as to reduce the thickness of the side edge portion 3, and as shown in FIG. It is set so as to be inclined at an angle of α = 15 ° with respect to a virtual vertical reference line k set at a position 10 mm (= d2) inward from the edge of the side edge portion 3. The adhesive reservoir 5 </ b> B is formed in a strip shape along the side edge 3, but may be formed discontinuously along the side edge 3.

The split collar 1A having the above-described configuration is attached to, for example, the connecting portion 21 between the pipes 20 and 20 to be connected in the construction procedure shown in FIG. 4, and connects the pipes 20 and 20 as shown in FIG. Repair is completed in a fixed state.
Hereinafter, although the construction procedure will be described in order, the above-described misalignment prevention means 10A, 10B, 11A, and 11B provided in the half members 2A and 2B are not shown in FIG.

  First, the water distribution pipe portion including the damaged portion is cut and removed at right angles to the pipe axis (FIG. 4a), and the joint member 19 is connected (FIG. 4b). The joint member 19 and the connected pipe 20 are connected to each other. A short tube 28A is newly inserted in the gap S between the two.

Next, a short pipe 28B is further inserted in the gap S between the short pipe 28A and the connected pipe 20, and the short pipes 28A and 28B are used as the connected pipe 20 to be attached with the split collar 1A. At the same time, the adhesive 30 is applied to the entire inner peripheral surfaces of the half members 2A, 2B, and the pair of half members 2A, 2B are covered so as to cover the connecting portions 21 between the pipes 20 to be connected. Is sandwiched (FIG. 4c). At this time, the male position deviation prevention means 10A of the upper half member 2A is inserted into the female position deviation prevention means 11B of the lower half member 2B, and the both position deviation prevention means 10A, 11B are engaged. At the same time, the male position deviation preventing means 10B of the lower half member 2B is inserted into the female position deviation preventing means 11A of the upper half member 2A so that both position deviation preventing means 11A and 10B are engaged. To do. And both the half members 2A and 2B will be in an engagement state, without mutually shifting in an axial direction.
The dimensions of the joint member 19, the dimensions of the short pipes 28A and 28B, and the like are appropriately set by a repair worker based on known techniques.

  A wire (annealing wire) 8 is wound around the outer periphery of the half member 2A, 2B along the wire guide groove 13 provided in the male position shift preventing means 10A, 10B, and the split collar 1A is connected to the pipe to be connected. Connect to 20 securely. Thereby, the to-be-connected pipes 20 are connected and fixed, and the repair of the water distribution pipe is completed (see FIG. 5).

  Here, as shown in FIG. 6a, the adhesive reservoir 5B can be coated with the adhesive 30 thicker than other parts, and the adhesive reservoir 5B is provided to provide the half of the adhesive. Since the opening in the member 2A (2B) is slightly expanded, when the pair of halved members 2A and 2B are attached to the connection pipe 20 as shown in FIG. The agent 30 is not scraped off by the connected pipe 20. Thus, since the pair of halved members 2A and 2B adheres to the connected pipe 20 with sufficient adhesive 30 remaining in the adhesive reservoir 5B, the split collar 1A is surely connected to the connected pipe 20. The connecting pipes 20 are securely connected and fixed to each other.

  Further, in the split collar 1A of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the male position deviation preventing means 10A (10B) is fitted and engaged with the female type position deviation preventing means 11A (11B). For this reason, when the wire 8 is tightened, the half member 2A and the half member 2B are not displaced in the direction of the axis L1. Therefore, the tightening operation of the wire 8 becomes extremely easy.

  Further, in the split collar 1A of the present invention, when the half members 2A and 2B are combined, it is not necessary to consider the left and right directions of the half members 2A and 2B. That is, the pair of halved members 2A and 2B have the same size and shape, and the positional deviation preventing means 10A, 10B, 11A and 11B are arranged so as to be point-symmetric with each other as described above. If the other half member 2B (2A) is aligned with the other half member 2A (2B) so that the side edge portions 3 face each other, the positional deviation preventing means 10A of the upper half member 2A is always maintained. 11A and the misalignment preventing means 10B, 11B of the lower half member 2B are fitted and engaged appropriately. For this reason, the repair worker can perform the repair work without checking the left and right directions of the half member 2A (2B) one by one. Therefore, the split collar 1A of the present invention has very good workability.

  Further, since the number-line guide groove 13 is provided in the male position deviation prevention means 10A (10B), it is not necessary to provide a guide means for separately guiding the number line 8 in the main body of the half member 2A (2B). .

The adhesive reservoir 5B may have another form.
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a concave stepped portion that reduces the thickness of the peripheral wall of the half member 2A (2B) may be used as the adhesive reservoir 5C. Note that the adhesive reservoir 5B, 5C can secure a certain thickness of the halved member 2A (2B) to the extent that the adhesive reservoir 5B shown in FIG. 3 has a stress around the adhesive reservoir 5B. Since concentration is difficult to occur, it is desirable in terms of strength.

<Second Example>
As shown in FIG. 8, the second embodiment uses two split collars 1B. One split collar 1B is composed of a pair of half members 2C and 2C, and the other split collar 1B is a pair. Halved members 2D and 2D.

  In the half member 2C (2D), one male-type displacement prevention means 21C (21D) is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the side edge 3 on one side, and one female is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the side edge 3 on the other side. Mold position deviation preventing engagement means 22C (22D) is provided. The male position deviation preventing means 21C (21D) and female position deviation preventing means 22C (22D) are the male position deviation preventing means 10A (10B) and the female position deviation preventing means 11A (11B) of the first embodiment. And the same form. Note that the cutting groove 6 is not formed in the half member 2C (2D) of the second embodiment.

  Further, each half member 2C (2D) has an inner peripheral surface as an adhesive portion 5A, and an adhesive reservoir portion 5B is recessed in the side edge portion 3 of the adhesive portion 5A, as in the first embodiment. ing.

The split collar 1B having the above-described configuration is attached to the connected pipe 20 by, for example, the construction procedure shown in FIG. 9 and is in a repair completed state as shown in FIG. The misalignment prevention means 21C, 21D, 22C, and 22D provided in the half members 2C and 2D are not shown in FIG.
First, the water distribution pipe portion including the damaged part is removed by cutting at right angles to the pipe axis (FIG. 9a), and the short pipe 28C is newly inserted into the gap S generated thereby, so that the short pipe 28C is covered. The connecting pipe 20 is assumed (FIG. 9b). Next, the adhesive 30 is applied to the entire inner peripheral surface of each half member 2C, 2D, and the split collars 1B, 1B comprising the pair of half members 2C, 2D are covered with the connection portions 21, 21. Each of them is sandwiched as shown in FIG. 9c. At this time, the respective displacement prevention means 21C, 21D, 22C, 22D are engaged with each other. Further, a number line (annealed number line) 8 is wound along the number line guide groove 13 provided in the male position deviation preventing means 21C (21D), and the split collar 1B is securely attached to the connected pipe 20 (FIG. 9d). Thereby, repair of a water pipe is completed (refer FIG. 10). Even in such a configuration, since sufficient adhesive 30 remains in the adhesive reservoir 5B, the split collar 1B is reliably attached to the connected pipe 20, and the connected pipes 20 are securely connected and fixed. .

Here, the misalignment prevention means 21C, 21D, 22C, 22D may have other forms.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 11 a to 11 c, a configuration is proposed in which the misalignment prevention means 23 </ b> C (23 </ b> D) is configured by a convex member and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of the side edge 3 toward the butting direction. .

More specifically, the positional deviation prevention means 23C (23D) is arranged on both sides with respect to the axis L2 of the half member 2C (2D), and is further arranged on one side with respect to the axis L2. 23C (23D) and the misalignment prevention means 23C (23D) arranged on the other side are arranged so as to be symmetric with respect to a reference point set on the axis L2. The pair of halved members 2C and 2D are formed into the same size and shape.
In such a configuration, as shown in FIGS. 12a to 12c, in the state where the pair of half members 2C and 2D are sandwiched between the pipes 20 to be connected, the positional deviation disposed on one half member 2C is shifted. The prevention means 23C and the positional deviation prevention means 23D disposed on the other half member 2D are in parallel with each other, whereby the pair of half members 2C and 2D are engaged. Thus, the pair of half members 2C, 2D are restricted from moving in the direction of the axis L2 and become engaged.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 13a to 13c, misalignment prevention means 24C and 24D in which the outer shape of the convex member is changed may be used. The misalignment prevention means 24C and 24D are arranged in the same manner as the configuration shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, and when the pair of half members 2C and 2D are combined, as shown in FIGS. 14a to 14c. The guide groove 13 is formed by the recesses of the respective misalignment prevention means 24C of one half member 2C and the recesses of the misalignment prevention means 24D of the other half member 2D. With this configuration, it is possible to properly guide the wire 8.

  In the above configuration, the adhesive 30 may be a PVC adhesive, an epoxy adhesive (so-called bonding agent), or another type of adhesive.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, A design change can be suitably carried out in the range which does not deviate from the main point of this invention.

  Since this invention is a connection member for pipe repair which repairs a water pipe, it can be utilized industrially.
