Description

  The present invention relates to a cutting tool for expanding the diameter of an existing pipeline that cuts an inner wall so as to expand the diameter of the existing pipeline.

  Many existing pipes with relatively small diameters, such as for electrical wiring, are installed sideways so that both ends open into manholes, etc., and one end opens into the coffin and the other end is closed to prevent humans from entering Some open to space. Some have existing pipelines that are arranged vertically like a chimney flue. When expanding the diameter of an existing pipe line that is relatively small in diameter and cannot be entered by a person for repairs such as renewing the lining or increasing the cross-sectional capacity, around the support shaft inserted into the existing pipe line Using a cutting tool for diameter expansion in which a plurality of cutting blades are arranged radially, moving the support shaft in one direction by pulling or pushing while rotating the support shaft, and using a cutting blade having a cutting diameter larger than the inner diameter of the existing pipe line, A diameter expansion method is employed in which an inner wall of an existing pipeline is cut from one end side to the other end side (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This kind of existing pipeline is formed of concrete, a fume pipe, a synthetic resin pipe or the like. Further, the support shaft of the diameter-enlarging cutting tool is connected to a rotary traction device or a rotary push-in device arranged outside the existing pipe line by an extension rod. When expanding the diameter of a long existing pipeline, the support shaft at the time of cutting is often moved from the back side to the near side of the existing pipeline by traction so that the extension rod does not bend or buckle.

  In addition, in the cutting tool for expanding the diameter of the existing pipe line, a plurality of pedestals having cutting tips at the top are installed on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical bit body mounted on the support shaft so as to be movable in the radial direction. In addition, there has been proposed a technique in which these pedestals are urged radially outward by a spring material to partially cut a stepped portion or the like of a joint portion of an existing pipeline (for example, Patent Document 2). reference).

The cutting tool for expanding the diameter of the existing pipe described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems because the cutting diameter of the cutting blade is larger than the inner diameter of the existing pipe.
(1) When the support shaft at the time of cutting is moved by towing, a work space and an operator are required for mounting the cutting blade on the support shaft inserted to the far side of the existing pipeline.
(2) If the support shaft at the time of cutting is moved by being pushed in and the existing pipe is in a closed space where no people can enter, the cutting blade cannot be recovered.
(3) In long existing pipelines, the transmission efficiency of rotational torque to the support shaft decreases due to torsional deformation of the long extension rod.
(4) Existing pipes cannot be expanded from the middle.
(5) When trouble occurs, the support shaft cannot be returned to the opposite side.

  Therefore, the problem of the present invention is that it does not require a work space and an operator on the back side of the existing pipeline, the cutting blade can be collected in any case, and the length of the extension rod can be shortened with a long existing pipeline, An object of the present invention is to provide a cutting tool for expanding the diameter of an existing pipe line that can return the support shaft to the opposite side even when a trouble occurs.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a plurality of cutting blades arranged radially around a support shaft inserted into an existing pipe line, while rotating the support shaft provided with the cutting blades. In a cutting tool for expanding the diameter of an existing pipe that moves in the existing pipe in one direction and cuts the inner wall so as to expand the diameter of the existing pipe, a cylindrical pedestal member is prevented from rotating on the support shaft. The base member is externally fitted so as to be slidable in the axial direction, and the base member is provided with a plurality of storage portions opened to the outer diameter side in which the plurality of cutting blades are slidably stored in the radial direction. Means for urging each cutting blade radially inward, and a contact portion that protrudes from the base side of each cutting blade to the inner diameter surface of the pedestal member and contacts the outer diameter surface of the support shaft, At the part of the support shaft where the abutment part abuts, a diameter-enlarged part where the outer diameter increases monotonously in one direction is provided. When the support shaft is moved in one direction, the pedestal member is slid to the large diameter side of the large diameter portion, and the contact portion of each cutting blade is engaged with the large diameter side of the large diameter portion. The tip of each cutting blade housed in the housing portion is pushed outward in the radial direction, and the base member is slid to the smaller diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion when the support shaft is moved in the direction opposite to that during cutting. A configuration is adopted in which the contact portion of each cutting blade is engaged with the small diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion and the cutting blade is stored in the storage portion.

  In other words, a cylindrical pedestal member is prevented from rotating on the support shaft, and is externally fitted so as to be slidable in the axial direction. Means for urging each cutting blade housed in the housing portion radially inward, and projecting from the base side of each cutting blade to the inner diameter surface of the pedestal member to the outer diameter surface of the support shaft An abutting part to be abutted is provided, and a portion of the support shaft to which the abutting part is abutted is provided with an enlarged diameter part whose outer diameter monotonously increases in one direction, and the supporting shaft is moved in one direction during cutting. When sliding, the base member is slid to the large diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion, the contact portion of each cutting blade is engaged with the large diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion, and the tip of each cutting blade stored in the storage portion When the support shaft is moved in the opposite direction to that during cutting, the pedestal member is slid to the smaller diameter side of the enlarged diameter part. By engaging the abutting portion of each cutting blade with the small diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion and storing each cutting blade in the storage portion, there is no need for a work space and an operator on the back side of the existing pipe line, and any Even in this case, the cutting blade can be collected, and the length of the extension rod can be shortened by dividing a long existing pipe line so that the diameter can be expanded, so that the support shaft can be returned to the opposite side even when trouble occurs.

  In addition, this cutting tool for expanding the diameter of the existing pipe line naturally pushes the cutting blade by moving in the cutting direction, and does not require a separate drive source, so electric wiring, hydraulic pipes, etc. are installed in the existing pipe line. There is no need to guide it, and it can be inserted into an existing pipe line simply by connecting an extension rod, as in a conventional cutting tool for expanding the diameter.

  The expanded diameter portion of the support shaft may be a tapered portion whose outer diameter increases linearly.

  An equal-diameter portion having a constant outer diameter is provided on the large-diameter side of the expanded-diameter portion, and when the support shaft is moved in one direction during cutting, the contact portion of each cutting blade is engaged with the equal-diameter portion. By doing so, the tip diameter of the cutting blade at the time of cutting can be stably set to a predetermined cutting diameter.

  By forming the part of the support shaft with the enlarged-diameter portion with a separate enlarged member and making the separate enlarged member replaceable, the amount of enlarged diameter of the enlarged member is different. By changing the extrusion amount of each cutting blade, it is possible to cut existing pipes having different diameter expansion dimensions.

  The means for urging the cutting blade radially inward may be a tension coil spring that is mounted around the contact portion and that urges the cutting blade radially inward.

  The cutting blade can be made inexpensive by inserting the contact portion into a through-hole provided in the bottom of the storage portion and connecting or contacting the base side of the cutting blade. Can be processed.

  Means for supplying pressure water to the large-diameter side space of the enlarged-diameter portion in the pedestal member is provided, and the pedestal member is adjusted by the pressure water pressure supplied to the large-diameter side space of the enlarged-diameter portion. By sliding to the large-diameter side of the large-diameter portion, the base member is slid to the large-diameter side of the large-diameter portion by the pressure water at the start of cutting, and the cutting blade is gradually pushed outward to rotate. The blade can be smoothly cut into the inner wall of the existing pipeline to be cut.

  The pressure water supplied to the space on the large-diameter side of the enlarged-diameter portion is discharged to the outer diameter side of the pedestal member on the front side in the moving direction of each cutting blade when the support shaft is moved in one direction during the cutting. By providing the means for cutting, the pressure water discharged to the front side in the moving direction of the cutting blade can be used as cutting water, and the cutting efficiency can be increased.

  The cutting tool for expanding the diameter of an existing pipe line of the present invention has a cylindrical pedestal member that is prevented from rotating on a support shaft and is slidably fitted in the axial direction, and a plurality of cutting blades are radially attached to the pedestal member. A plurality of storage portions opened to the outer diameter side for slidably storing are provided, a means for urging each cutting blade stored in the storage portion inward in the radial direction, and a base member from the base side of each cutting blade An abutting portion that protrudes from the inner diameter surface and abuts against the outer diameter surface of the support shaft is provided, and an enlarged diameter portion whose outer diameter monotonously increases in one direction is provided at a portion of the support shaft that abuts the abutting portion. When the support shaft is moved in one direction during cutting, the pedestal member is slid to the larger diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion, and the contact portion of each cutting blade is engaged with the larger diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion. When the tip of each cutting blade stored in the storage part is pushed outward in the radial direction, the base member is expanded when the support shaft is moved in the direction opposite to that during cutting. Since the cutting blades are accommodated in the storage part by sliding the cutting part to the small diameter side and engaging the contact part of each cutting blade with the small diameter side of the enlarged diameter part, work on the back side of the existing pipe line The cutting blade can be collected in any case without the need for space and workers, and the length of the extension rod can be shortened by dividing the long existing pipe line so that the diameter can be expanded. You can return to In addition, this cutting tool for expanding the diameter of the existing pipe line naturally pushes the cutting blade by moving in the cutting direction, and does not require a separate drive source, so electric wiring, hydraulic pipes, etc. are installed in the existing pipe line. There is no need to guide it, and it can be inserted into an existing pipe line simply by connecting an extension rod.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, when the support shaft 1 is pushed to the left from the near side of the existing pipe line during cutting, the pedestal member 2 is moved to the right side of the support shaft 1 by frictional resistance with the inner wall of the pipe line. The abutting member 6 moves to the larger diameter side of the tapered portion 9a, and the tip of each cutting blade 5 is pushed out from the storage portion 4 in the radial direction. When each cutting blade 5 is pressed against the inner wall of the pipe line, the base member 2 slides further to the right due to the pressing resistance, and the flange 10b is locked to the large-diameter step portion 11b of the diameter-expanding member 1b. The member 6 engages with the equal diameter portion 9b. When cutting is started as the support shaft 1 is driven to rotate, the scissors 10b are pressed against the large-diameter step portion 11b by the cutting resistance, and the contact members 6 engaged with the equal-diameter portions 9b are used to contact each cutting blade 5 with each other. The cutting diameter is kept constant. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, when the support shaft 1 is pulled back to the front side of the existing pipeline after cutting, the base member 2 slides to the left of the support shaft 1 due to frictional resistance with the inner wall of the pipeline. The hook 10a is locked to the large-diameter step portion 11a of the base member 1a, and the contact member 6 engages with the small-diameter side of the taper portion 9a, and is urged radially inward by the tension coil spring 8. The cutting blade 5 is stored in the storage unit 4.

  FIG. 9 shows a third embodiment in which, using the above-described cutting tool for expanding the diameter, the diameter of the existing existing pipeline 22 having one end opened in the manhole 21 and the other end opened in the closed space 25 where no person can enter is expanded.

So you can easily deal with troubles.

  10 and 11 show a third embodiment. The existing pipe diameter increasing cutting tool has the same basic configuration as that of the first embodiment, and, as shown in FIG. 10, the large diameter of the diameter expanding member 1b in the base member 2 is large. The difference is that pressure water is supplied to the side space from a water supply pipe 14 connected to the hose 12 via a swivel 13.

  The water supply pipe 14 is slidably passed through the flange 10b and inserted into the pedestal member 2, and the tip is connected to the large diameter step portion 11b on the large diameter side of the diameter expanding member 1b. Pressure water is supplied from the water supply hole 14a provided at the tip to the space on the large diameter side of the diameter expanding member 1b. The space on the large-diameter side of the diameter-expanding member 1b is water-sealed by a seal ring 15a attached to the outer diameter surface of the large-diameter step portion 11b and a seal ring 15b attached to the inner diameter surface of the flange 10b. Therefore, by supplying pressure water from the water supply pipe 14 at the start of cutting, the base member 2 is moved to the larger diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion 1b by the pressure water pressure, and each cutting blade 5 is gradually pushed outward. It is possible to smoothly cut the rotating cutting blade 5 into the inner wall of the pipe line to be cut.

  The space on the large diameter side of the diameter-expanding member 1b is formed through a through hole 16 provided in the bottom of the storage portion 4 of each cutting blade 5 and a through hole 7 into which the contact member 6 is inserted. While communicating with the space on the small diameter side of the diameter expanding member 1b, the base member 2 opens from the space on the small diameter side of the diameter expanding member 1b to the outer diameter surface on the front side in the movement direction during cutting of each cutting blade 5. A drain hole 17 is provided. The space on the small diameter side of the expanded diameter member 1b is formed by a seal ring 15a attached to the outer diameter surface of the large diameter step portion 11b and a seal ring 15c attached to the outer diameter surface of the large diameter step portion 11a of the base member 1a. It is sealed with water. Therefore, by supplying pressure water from the water supply pipe 14 into the pedestal member 2 at the time of cutting, the expanded pressure member passes through the through hole 16 and the through hole 7 from the large diameter side space of the expanded diameter member 1b. The pressure water that has been fed into the space on the small diameter side of 1b and ejected from the drain hole 17 to the front side in the moving direction of each cutting blade 5 can be used as cutting water.

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the support shaft 1 is inserted leftward into the existing pipe before cutting, the supply of pressure water from the water supply pipe 14 is stopped, and the first embodiment is used. Similarly, the pedestal member 2 slides to the right of the support shaft 1 due to frictional resistance with the pipe inner wall, and the flange 10b is locked to the large-diameter step portion 11b of the diameter-expanding member 1b. The abutting member 6 that abuts on the tapered portion 9 a engages with the small diameter side of the tapered portion 9 a, and each cutting blade 5 biased radially inward by the tension coil spring 8 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 4.

  In the third embodiment described above, as in the first embodiment, the support shaft 1 is pulled to cut the inner wall, but as in the second embodiment shown in FIG. When the inner wall is cut by pushing the support shaft 1, the pressure water is moved from the side where the base member 1 a of the support shaft 1 is inserted into the space on the large diameter side of the diameter-expanding member 1 b in the base member 2. By supplying, the base member 2 can be moved to the larger diameter side of the enlarged diameter portion 1b by the pressure water at the start of cutting, and each cutting blade 5 can be gradually pushed outward.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the separate diameter-expanding member is attached to the tip of the base member of the support shaft. However, the separate diameter-expanding member may be cylindrical and attached to the outer diameter surface of the base member. . Moreover, although the enlarged diameter part of the enlarged diameter member was formed by the taper part and the equal diameter part, this enlarged diameter part should just be a thing whose outer diameter increases monotonously in one direction, and is limited to the thing of each embodiment. There is nothing.

  Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the number of cutting blades is six, and each of these cutting blades is urged radially inward by a tension coil spring. For example, the base end portion and the storage portion of each cutting blade By providing a spring seat in the opening of each and attaching a spring member such as a compression coil spring between the spring seats, each cutting blade can be biased radially inward. Further, the number of cutting blades is not limited to six.
