Description

  The present invention relates to a tire puncture repair kit for repairing a puncture emergency by sequentially injecting a puncture sealing agent and compressed air into a punctured tire.

  As a puncture repair kit that repairs puncture as soon as possible, the puncture sealant and compressed air are sequentially injected into the punctured tire and pumped up. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a technique in which a cavity surface is covered over the entire circumference and a puncture hole is sealed immediately.

  As shown in FIG. 13, this type of repair kit is a bottle comprising a compressor device a that generates compressed air, a bottle container b that contains a puncture sealing agent, and a cap c that is attached to the mouth of the bottle container b. Unit d is provided. The cap c includes an air intake nozzle portion c1 for sending compressed air into the bottle container, and a sealing agent / compressed air take-out nozzle portion for sequentially taking out the puncture sealing agent and the compressed air from the bottle container b by feeding the compressed air. c2 is formed. The air intake nozzle portion c1 is connected to a hose e1 from the compressed air discharge nozzle portion c3 of the compressor device a, and the sealing agent / compressed air extraction nozzle portion c2 is connected to the air valve Tv of the tire T at one end. The other end of the hose e2 to which the connectable fitting is attached is connected.

JP 2000-108215 A

  Since this repair kit requires two hoses e1 and e2, it is easy to mispipe, and the stability of the bottle unit d is poor. There is a problem that the agent cannot be injected.

  In view of this, the present inventor has proposed that the bottle unit d be provided with a nozzle receiving portion that can be directly connected to the compressed air discharge nozzle portion c3 of the compressor device a. As a result, the bottle unit d and the compressor device a can be integrated and the center of gravity position can be lowered, the stability can be increased and the overturning can be suppressed, and the hose e1 on the air intake side is not necessary. The fear of piping can be eliminated.

  However, when the bottle unit d is not securely fixed to the compressor device a when directly connected, there is a problem that during the puncture repair, the connection is released due to the high internal pressure, the sealing agent flows backward, and the surroundings are soiled. Therefore, it is necessary to provide means that can reliably fix the bottle unit d to the compressor device a, and to allow the operator to perform the fixing work by the means.

  Therefore, the present invention enables the bottle unit and the compressor device to be directly connected, prevents the bottle unit from overturning, eliminates one of the two hoses, eliminates the possibility of erroneous piping, and directly connects the bottle unit and the compressor device. A puncture repair kit that can securely fix the bottle unit to the compressor device and make it possible for the operator to fully recognize whether or not the bottle unit has been fixed, and prevent disconnection during puncture repair. It is intended to provide.

In order to solve the above problems, the invention of claim 1 of the present application is a puncture repair kit comprising a bottle unit comprising a compressor device, a bottle container containing a puncture sealing agent, and a cap attached to the mouth of the bottle container. Because
The compressor device is provided with a compressed air discharge nozzle portion for discharging compressed air on one side surface thereof,

While having a compressed air take-out nozzle part,
A nozzle receiver in which the compressed air discharge nozzle portion is inserted concentrically into the central hole of the air intake tube portion and can be directly connected to the compressor unit by fitting with the compressed air discharge nozzle portion. Part is formed,
In addition, a pair of locking plates each having a plate shape extending radially on both sides of the axial center of the air intake tube portion and having locking holes formed in the thickness direction project around the air intake tube portion. As well as
After the compressed air discharge nozzle portion is inserted into the air intake tube portion and the compressed air discharge nozzle portion and the nozzle receiving portion are fitted to the compressor device, the bottle unit is attached to the compressor device around the axis. And a retaining means for retaining the air intake cylinder portion from the compressed air discharge nozzle portion by engaging with the locking hole by relatively rotating at a small angle α. .

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the retaining means has a substantially fan shape sandwiched between the first and second groove wall surfaces arranged radially around the axis of the compressed air discharge nozzle portion, and the first 1 and a pair of insertion recesses into which each of the locking plate portions can be inserted between the second groove wall surfaces,
The first groove wall surface can be brought into contact with the locking plate portion by the relative rotation of the bottle unit, and the first groove wall surface is formed on the locking hole of the contacted locking plate portion. A locking projection for fitting and retaining the compressed air discharge nozzle portion of the air intake tube portion is protruded.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, the second groove wall surface is formed of an inclined surface that is inclined toward the bottom of the insertion recess so as to reduce the distance from the first groove wall surface.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the bottom surface of the compressor device and the bottom surface of the cap are flush with each other when the retaining means and the locking hole are engaged.

  In the present invention, as described above, a nozzle receiving portion that can be fitted to the compressed air discharge nozzle portion of the compressor device is formed on the cap of the bottle unit. As a result, the compressor device and the bottle unit can be directly connected, the two can be integrated and the center of gravity position can be lowered, the installation stability can be increased and the overturn can be suppressed. Since there is no need for a hose on the intake side, there is no risk of incorrect piping.

  The compressor device is provided with a retaining means for retaining and compressing the compressed air discharge nozzle portion from the air intake tube portion when the compressed air discharge nozzle portion is inserted and fitted into the air intake tube portion. Yes. In addition, the retaining is performed by rotating the bottle unit around the axis of the air intake tube after the fitting.

  That is, the connection work by inserting and fitting the compressed air discharge nozzle part into the air intake tube part and the retaining work by rotating the bottle unit around the axis are performed. Are performed by different operations. Therefore, it is possible to make the operator sufficiently recognize whether or not the retaining has been performed, and to prevent disconnection during puncture repair due to forgetting to perform the retaining operation or incomplete retaining operation. .

  It is technically possible to configure the retaining means so that the connection and the retaining can be performed at the same time only by inserting and fitting the compressed air discharge nozzle portion into the air intake tube portion. However, in this case, for example, even if the insertion is insufficient and the retaining is not securely performed, it is difficult for the operator to recognize this, and as a result, there is a risk of disconnection during puncture repair.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, the puncture repair kit 1 of the present embodiment includes a compressor device 2 and a bottle unit 3, and the bottle unit 3 includes a bottle container 4 containing a puncture sealing agent and its mouth. It is comprised from the cap 6 attached to the part 5 (shown in FIG. 8).

  And the said compressor apparatus 2 and the bottle unit 3 are directly connected, without interposing hoses at the puncture repair site. A feeding hose 29 is connected to the sealing agent / compressed air take-out nozzle portion 7 provided in the bottle unit 3 in advance, and when stored in the vehicle, the feeding hose 29 remains in the connected state. For example, it is wound around the cap 6 and stored.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the compressor device 2 includes, in a storage case 9, a compressor main body 13 having a cylinder 12 that forms a pump chamber 11 between a motor M and a piston 10 connected to the motor M. At least it is stored.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the storage case 9 has a small, flat, substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape in which the upper and lower ends of the peripheral wall portion surrounding the four sides with the side plate portion 14a are closed by the upper plate portion 14U and the lower plate portion 14L, respectively. It is formed as a box. The storage case 9 is formed in an upper and lower case part so as to be disassembled.

  As the motor M, various commercially available DC motors that operate with a 12V DC power source of an automobile can be used. A power cord provided with a power plug 15 that can be connected to a cigarette lighter socket of an automobile is connected to the motor M via a power switch SW that is attached to the upper plate portion 14U of the storage case 9. The power plug 15 is removably accommodated in a recess (not shown) provided in the lower plate portion 14L.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the compressor body 13 includes a piston 10 connected to the motor M via a crank mechanism 17, and accommodates the piston 10 so as to be capable of reciprocating. And a cylinder 12 forming a pump chamber 11 for compressing air therebetween. The piston 10 has an intake hole 19A extending through the piston 10 in the axial direction, and the intake hole 19A is closed from the pump chamber side with a spring property, for example, an elastic material such as rubber, synthetic resin, or metal. An intake valve 19 using a valve 19B such as a body is formed.

  In the present example, the cylinder 12 is a surge tank that stores compressed air from the pump chamber 11 at the rear end side of the cylindrical cylinder body 20 forming the pump chamber 11 and suppresses pressure pulsation by the piston 10. A cylinder sub-portion 21 for forming the chamber 21A is integrally provided. In this example, the surge tank chamber 21A is electrically connected to the pump chamber 11 through a small hole 20A1 formed in the partition wall 20A that closes the rear end of the cylinder body 20.

  A cylindrical compressed air discharge port 8 for discharging compressed air, a first connecting portion 24A for attaching a pressure gauge 22, and a second connecting portion for attaching a relief valve 23 are provided on the peripheral wall of the cylinder sub-part 21. 24B protrudes in different directions.

  A compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is formed at the tip of the compressed air discharge port portion 8. In this example, as shown in FIG. 6, this compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is provided with a series of tapered nozzle bodies 16B at the tip of an attachment tube portion 16A that is externally fitted to the compressed air discharge port portion 8. The compressor device 2 protrudes from the side surface 14aS. In this example, the mounting cylinder portion 16A is provided with an overhanging portion 16C along the one side surface 14aS, and the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is fixed to the one side surface 14aS by, for example, screws. Is integrally fixed to the compressor device 2. The nozzle body 16B includes a main portion 16B1 having a constant outer diameter and a tapered cone-shaped taper portion 16B2 connected to the tip of the nozzle body 16B, and an outer periphery of the main portion 16B1 is provided between a nozzle receiving portion 28 described later. An O-ring 43 to be sealed is attached.

  Next, the bottle unit 3 is composed of a bottle container 4 containing a puncture sealing agent and a cap 6 attached to the mouth part 5 thereof, and is connected to the compressor device 2 in an upright state with the cap 6 directed downward. is doing.

As shown in FIG. 8, the bottle container 4 protrudes from the lower end of the bottle body 30 with a small-diameter cylindrical mouth portion 5 through which a puncture sealing agent can be taken in and out. As shown in FIG. 9, the bottle body 30 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a cross section perpendicular to the height direction surrounded by a pair of long sides 30A and a pair of short sides 30B. In this example, the case where the long side portion 30A and the short side portion 30B are formed in a convex arc shape toward the outside of the bottle is shown. At this time, when the length of the long side portion 30A is W, the radius of curvature of the long side portion 30A is RW, the length of the short side portion 30B is D, and the radius of curvature of the short side portion 30B is RD, the following formula ( It is preferable to set so as to satisfy 1) to (3).
1.3 ≦ W / D ≦ 1.7 (1)
0.5 ≦ RW / W ≦ 3.0 (2)
0.5 ≦ RD / D ≦ 20.0 −−− (3)

  Here, when considering the storability of the puncture repair kit 1 in the vehicle, for example, in the trunk, the compressor device 2 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Therefore, the bottle body 30 of the bottle container 4 is also formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape. Is preferred. However, at the time of puncture repair, a high internal pressure, for example, close to 350 kPa acts on the bottle container 4. At this time, when the bottle body 30 has a circular cross section, the bottle body 30 expands evenly in the radial direction due to internal pressure, so that deformation at the time of filling with compressed air is not recognized so much and anxiety to the user. The feeling is low. However, when the bottle body portion 30 has a rectangular cross section, the swelling due to the internal pressure is not uniform, and the deformation amount is felt to be larger than actual, for example, the bottle body 30 expands so as to approach the circular cross section. For this reason, there is a possibility of giving the user anxiety such as a rupture even though the pressure resistance is within the range.

  Therefore, in this example, the long side portion 30A and the short side portion 30B are each formed in a convex arc shape, and are formed in a shape close to the deformed shape at the time of expansion. Therefore, while improving the storage property, the deformation at the time of filling with compressed air is not recognized so much, and the user's anxiety can be kept low.

  As a result of the inventor's experiment, in order to suppress the feeling of anxiety, it is important to suppress the amount of expansion on the long side, and for that purpose, the length W on the long side is increased and the radius of curvature RW is increased. It is preferable to set a small value. If the ratio W / D is less than 1.3 or the ratio RW / W is more than 3.0, the length W is relatively small or the radius of curvature RW is large and the expansion amount on the long side is increased. Increase. On the contrary, when the ratio W / D exceeds 1.7 or the ratio RW / W is less than 0.5, the storage property is disadvantageous. If the ratio RD / D exceeds 20.0, the amount of expansion on the short side increases, and the deformation at the time of filling with compressed air increases. Conversely, if the ratio RD / D is less than 0.5, This causes a disadvantage in storage.

  The corner portion where the long side portion 30A and the short side portion 30B intersect is preferably formed by an arc 30C having a radius of curvature of 15 mm ± 5 mm in order to ease stress concentration and improve pressure resistance.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the cap 6 is disposed between the disc-shaped bottom plate portion 31 forming the bottom surface 6 </ b> S, the bottle mounting portion 32 to which the mouth portion 5 of the bottle container 4 is attached, and the cap 6. A constricted body 33 is provided integrally. The body 33 has an air intake tube portion 27 having an intake port 27a through which compressed air from the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is sent into the bottle container 4, and the bottle container 4 is fed by the compressed air. A sealing agent / compressed air take-out nozzle portion 7 having a take-out port 7a for sequentially taking out the puncture sealant and the compressed air is provided.

  In the cap 6, an air flow path 35 extending from the intake port 27 a into the mouth portion 5 of the bottle container 4, and a sealing agent / compressed air extending from the take-out port 7 a into the mouth portion 5 of the bottle container 4. An extraction flow path 36 is formed.

  The bottle attachment portion 32 has an attachment recess 32A for fixing the mouth portion 5 and a boss portion 32B protruding from the bottom surface of the attachment recess 32A. The mounting recess 32A can be screwed into the mouth portion 5 by an internal screw provided on the inner wall surface thereof. Further, on the upper surface of the boss portion 32B, an air channel upper opening 37 in which the upper end of the air channel 35 is opened, and a sealing agent / compressed air extraction channel in which the upper end of the sealing agent / compressed air take-out channel 36 is opened. An opening 38 is provided.

  The air flow path 35 includes a vertical air flow path portion 35a extending downward from the air flow path upper opening 37, and intersects the vertical air flow path portion 35a at a right angle at an intersection P and from the intersection P to the intake port. And a horizontal air flow path portion 35b extending to 27a. In addition, a sealing agent storage portion 39 for storing a backflow puncture sealing agent when the puncture sealing agent flows backward from the air flow path upper opening 37 is provided at a lower end portion of the vertical air flow passage portion 35a that extends downward from the intersection P. It is formed. In addition, the sealing agent accommodating part 39 is formed in a larger diameter than the said vertical air flow path part 35a.

  Here, in the puncture repair, first, using the puncture repair kit 1, the puncture sealing agent and the compressed air are sequentially injected into the punctured tire T and pumped up. Thereafter, the user once loads the puncture repair kit 1 removed from the tire T with the compressor device 2 and the bottle unit 3 connected, and travels about 10 minutes to seal the puncture hole. Thereafter, the puncture repair work is completed by reconnecting the puncture repair kit 1 to the tire T again and checking and refilling the air pressure. In these operations, the bottle unit 3 after being filled with the sealant is inclined in various directions and is subjected to vibration. For this reason, the puncture sealing agent remaining in the bottle unit 3 flows backward from the air flow path upper opening 37 to the compressor device 2 side, and the compressor device 2 may be damaged. Therefore, in order to prevent the backflowed puncture sealing agent from flowing into the compressor device 2, the sealing agent accommodating portion 39 is formed. Therefore, the capacity of the sealing agent container 39 may be about the capacity of the sealing agent remaining in the bottle unit 3, and is set in a range of 5 to 15 cc in this example. If the capacity is less than 5 cc, the back-flowing sealing agent may not be accommodated, and if it exceeds 15 cc, the cap 6 is useless, leading to an unnecessary increase in the size of the cap 6, that is, a decrease in storage performance.

  Further, in order to suppress the back flow from the air flow path upper opening 37, a throttle part 35a1 for reducing the inner diameter is provided on the upper end side of the vertical air flow path part 35a, and the inner diameter Da1 of the air flow path upper opening 37 is set to 1.0 to. It is preferable to reduce to the range of 2.0 mm. In order to suppress the back flow from the air flow path opening 37, it is also preferable to open the air flow path opening 37 above the sealing agent / compressed air take-off flow path opening 38, and in particular, the air flow path opening 37. It is preferable that the height h from the upper opening 38 of the sealing agent / compressed air take-out flow path is 5.0 to 7.0 mm.

  The sealing agent container 39 is opened on the bottom side of the cap 6, and the opening is closed by a container lid 40.

The cap 6 is provided with a pair of locking plate portions 41 projecting radially around the air intake tube portion 27 on both sides of the axis i1 of the air intake tube portion 27. In this example, the locking plate portions 41 are arranged above and below the air intake tube portion 27. The locking plate 41 is provided with a locking hole 41H in the thickness direction. In this example, in order to give the locking hole 41H a spring property so that it can be elastically deformed, a notch 41A having a substantially C-shaped locking hole 41H is provided. The front end of the locking plate 41 in the axial center i1 direction protrudes forward from the front end of the air intake tube portion 27.

  Further, the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is inserted concentrically into the central hole 27H of the air intake cylinder portion 27 and is fitted to the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 to directly connect the bottle unit 3 and the compressor device 2 to each other. A nozzle receiving portion 28 that can be connected is formed. The nozzle receiving portion 28 includes a parallel hole portion 28A having a constant inner diameter and a tapered cone-shaped tapered hole portion 28B connected to the rear end side thereof. The nozzle receiving portion 28 can be fitted to the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 and the shaft center i1. It is formed to be relatively rotatable around. In this example, the insertion depth of the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is restricted by the front end surface of the mounting tube portion 16A and the front end surface of the air intake tube portion 27 coming into contact with each other.

  Next, after the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is inserted into the air intake tube portion 27 and the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 and the nozzle receiving portion 28 are fitted to the compressor device 2, FIG. As shown, by rotating the bottle unit 3 around the axis i1 relative to the compressor device 2 at a small angle α, the bottle unit 3 is engaged with the locking hole 41H and the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is engaged. A retaining means 44 for retaining the air from the air intake tube portion 27 is provided.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 10, and 11, the retaining means 44 is sandwiched between first and second groove wall surfaces S <b> 1 and S <b> 2 that are radially arranged around the axis i <b> 2 of the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16. As shown in FIG. 10, each insertion recess 45 can insert the locking plate portion 41 between the first and second groove wall surfaces S <b> 1 and S <b> 2.

  Further, the first groove wall surface S1 can be brought into contact with the locking plate portion 41 by the relative rotation K of the bottle unit 3, thereby restricting the end position of the rotation. Also, the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 is retained from the air intake cylinder portion 27 by fitting into the first groove wall surface S1 in the locking hole 41H of the locking plate portion 41 in contact with the first groove wall surface S1. A locking projection 46 is provided.

  In this example, the locking projection 46 is located between the barrel portion 46A having a constant outer diameter and substantially the same diameter as the locking hole 41H, and a tapered cone portion 46B, than the locking hole 41H. It has a slightly large diameter collar part 46C. The flange portion 46C can pass through the locking hole 41H due to the spring property of the C-shaped locking hole 41H, and the contact between the first groove wall surface S1 and the locking plate portion 41 by resistance at the time of passage. The contact state can be maintained.

  The second groove wall surface S2 is formed of an inclined surface 47 that is inclined toward the bottom 45A of the insertion recess 45 in such a direction that the distance from the first groove wall surface S1 is reduced. Such an inclined surface 47 can function as a guide surface when the locking plate portion 41 is inserted into the insertion recess 45.

  Thus, in the puncture repair kit 1, the compressor device 2 and the bottle unit 3 are directly connected without interposing hoses, and the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 and the air intake tube portion 27 are retained. And the connection state is reliably maintained. Accordingly, the bottle unit 3 can be integrated with the compressor device 2 to lower its center of gravity, and the stability of the installation can be increased to prevent overturning, and the conventional hose on the air intake side becomes unnecessary. The possibility of incorrect piping can be eliminated. Further, the retaining work by the retaining means 44 is performed by an operation different from the connecting work, such as a rotating work of the bottle unit 3 around the axis i1. Therefore, it is possible to make the worker fully recognize whether or not the retaining work has been performed, and it is possible to prevent disconnection during puncture repair due to forgetting to perform the retaining work or incomplete retaining work. .

  In the engagement state Y between the locking projection 46 and the locking hole 45H, it is preferable that the bottom surface 2S of the compressor device 2 and the bottom surface 6S of the cap 6 are flush with each other. As a result, the ground contact area increases and the frictional force with the road surface can be increased, so that not only the installation stability but also the vibration stability during compressor vibration can be improved. Further, when the retaining work is incomplete, the bottom surfaces 2S and 6S are inconsistent, so that the incomplete retaining work can be easily recognized. The angle α of the relative rotation K in the retaining operation is suitably 10 to 30 °. If the angle α is 10 ° or less, it is difficult to recognize imperfection of the retaining operation. It is hard and certainty is lost. In order to set the angle α to 10 to 30 °, the angle β between the first and second groove wall surfaces S1 and S2 is preferably in the range of 15 to 35 degrees.

  Further, in this example, in order to increase accuracy, the retaining means 44 and the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 are reinforced by blending, for example, plastic such as nylon, polypropylene or polyethylene, or short fibers such as glass fiber. It is formed as an integrally molded body 60 made of plastic. However, if necessary, for example, the compressed air discharge nozzle portion 16 can be formed integrally with the compressed air discharge port portion 8 and can be formed separately from the retaining means 44.

  Further, in order to prevent the puncture sealing agent in the bottle container 4 from flowing out when the bottle unit 3 is not used, as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. Inner plugs 52 for closing the sealing agent / compressed air extraction flow path upper openings 38 are fitted. The inner plug 52 can be detached from the boss portion 32 </ b> B by the pressure increase due to the compressed air from the compressor device 2.

  As mentioned above, although especially preferable embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to embodiment of illustration, It can deform | transform and implement in a various aspect.
