  Referring to FIG. 1, a coil molded body 10 used in an embodiment of the present invention is obtained by winding a coil wire 12 in a spiral shape, and the outer diameter D1 of the coil molded body 10 is aged to be rehabilitated. It is set to be the same as or slightly larger than the inner diameter of the existing pipe 100 (not shown in FIG. 1 (FIG. 8)).

  Various existing pipes to be rehabilitated using the lining method of the present invention can be considered, for example, existing pipes for uses such as water and sewage, gas, communication cable protection or power cable protection. Alternatively, it may be made of a material such as a reinforced concrete pipe (fume pipe), a ceramic pipe, a cast iron pipe, a steel pipe, and a synthetic resin pipe such as a vinyl chloride pipe.

  A coil molded body 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a material having sufficient rigidity and elasticity, for example, a metal such as an aluminum alloy, steel or stainless steel, a synthetic resin, and GFRP (glass fiber reinforced plastic) or CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic). In this embodiment, GFRP is used as the material of the coil molded body 10.

  The coil molded body 10 is formed in a cylindrical shape by winding a rectangular wire 12 having a horizontally long cross section perpendicular to the length direction around a winding core (not shown). However, the method for forming the coil molded body 10 is not particularly limited, and the coil molded body 10 may be formed by spirally cutting a fiber-reinforced plastic tube, or a resin or the like may be formed in a dedicated mold. You may make it shape | mold by pouring. The nominal diameter D1 of the coil molded body 10 is set to a size corresponding to the inner diameter of the existing pipe as described above.

  A female screw 14a is formed at one end of the wire 12 of the coil molded body 10 shown in FIG. Although only one end is drawn in FIG. 1, it is not shown, but a female screw is also formed at the other end. For the sake of convenience, the female screw at the other end is referred to as “14b” for convenience. The female screw 14a (and 14b) is used to hold the coil molded body 10 on a core material (FIGS. 3 and 4) described later. As described above, the wire 12 of the coil molded body 10 is, for example, GFRP, and even if tapped as it is, it is difficult to form a female screw. Accordingly, the inventors prepared a metal chip having a female screw, embedded it in a hole formed at a corresponding position of the wire 12 and bonded it, and bonded both ends of the wire 12 of the coil molded body 10.

The lining material 18 can be formed of, for example, a synthetic resin (polyethylene, polybutene, polypropylene, nylon, vinyl chloride, etc.), fiber reinforced plastic, or the like. In the embodiment, a polyethylene lining material 18 is used.

  The lining material 18 is restored to a cylindrical shape by being heated to a predetermined temperature and pressurized, and is brought into close contact with the inner surface of the coil molded body 10 to form a rehabilitation pipe line (lining pipe). The lining material 18 is set so that the outer diameter when restored is equal to or substantially equal to the inner diameter of the coil molded body 10.

  Since the lining material 18 can be manufactured by various known methods, a detailed description of the manufacturing method is omitted, but simply speaking, with respect to a straight pipe extruded with a predetermined diameter, It is manufactured by heating to a predetermined temperature in the range from the softening point to the melting point (in this embodiment, for example, about 100 ° C.) to form a substantially U-shaped indented portion using a push plate, a roller, or the like. The Therefore, by heating the lining material 18 again to a temperature above the softening point and below the melting point and pressurizing from the inside, the indented portion is returned to the outer surface side, and the lining material 18 is restored to a predetermined shape (cylindrical shape, etc.) within the existing pipe.

Prevents movement and dropout in the direction.

  In the embodiment, the rails 26 and 28 each have an angle of 45 ° with respect to the vertical direction in order to ensure the running stability of the diameter expanding device 60 (FIG. 5) described later, that is, the core. If it says with the circular arc angle in the circumferential direction of the material 20, it will be provided in the position 90 degree apart, for example. However, the interval between the rails 26 and 28 is not limited to this.

  On the inner surface of the front-end ring-shaped portion 22a of the core member 20, the connection fittings 32 are fixed, for example, with bolts at positions facing away from each other by 180 °, for example. For example, the connection fitting 32 is formed in an L-shaped cross section, one side of the L-shape is fixed to the inner surface of the ring-shaped portion 22a, and a through hole 32a is formed on the other side of the L-shape.

  Similarly, on the inner surface of the rear end ring-shaped portion 22b of the core member 20, connecting metal fittings 34 are provided, for example, at opposing positions separated by 180 °. For example, the coupling metal 34 is formed in an L-shaped cross section, one side of the L-shape is fixed to the inner surface of the ring-shaped portion 22b, and a through hole 34a is formed on the other side of the L-shape.

  These connection fittings 32 and 34 cooperate with the connection member 90 (FIG. 7) in order to connect many core materials 20, as mentioned later.

  A coil molded body 10 shown in FIG. 1 is held on the core material 20 in a reduced diameter state at the front end ring-shaped portion 22a and the rear end ring-shaped portion 22b of the core material 20 at the intermediate position between the rails 26 and 28. Holding means or holding mechanisms 36a and 36b are provided.

The holding mechanisms 36a and 36b have angles 38a and 38b that are reverse U-shaped and both ends of the holding mechanisms 36a and 36b are bent outward. It is bolted to. A through hole (which may be a female screw) is formed in the flat part of the angles 38a and 38b, and bolts 40a and 40b are inserted into the through hole.

  The ends of the bolts 40a and 40b are screwed into nuts provided on the inner surfaces of the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22b, and then passed through through holes (not shown) formed in the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22b, respectively. And can protrude on the outer surface of 22c. Handles 42a and 42b are fixed to the rear ends of the bolts 40a and 40b. By turning the handles 42a and 42b, the bolts 40a and 40b can be projected and retracted on the outer surfaces of the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22b.

  The bolts 40a and 40b can be screwed into female screws 14a (and 14b) provided at both ends of the wire 12 of the coil molded body 10 shown in FIG.

  The tips of the bolts 40a and 40b can project on the outer surfaces of the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22c through through holes (not shown) formed in the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22b, respectively. Handles 42a and 42b are fixed to the rear ends of the bolts 40a and 40b. By turning the handles 42a and 42b, the bolts 40a and 40b can be projected and retracted on the outer surfaces of the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22b.

  The bolts 40a and 40b can be screwed into female screws 14a (and 14b) provided at both ends of the wire 12 of the coil molded body 10 shown in FIG.

  However, the through holes in the flat portions of the angles 38a and 38b may be female threads. In that case, the bolts 40a and 40b are screwed into the female screw, and then are projected and retracted on the outer surface through the through holes of the ring-shaped portions 22a and 22b.

  A contact rod 44 is attached to the intermediate ring-shaped portion 22c of the core member 20 so as to extend inward at an opposing position (in the embodiment) that is 180 ° apart. Since the diameter expanding device 60 of FIG. 5 moves in the hollow portion of the core material 20, the length of the hitting bar 44 is set shorter than the radius of the core material 20 in order to secure the movement space.

  The above-described rails 26 and 28 and the sleds 66 and 68 of the diameter expansion device 60 shown in FIG. 5 function in cooperation with each other as positioning means for the relative positions of the core member 20 and the diameter expansion device 60 in the circumferential direction. On the other hand, the contact rod 44 functioning as a locking member cooperates with the upright piece 74 of the diameter expanding device 60 shown in FIG. It functions as a positioning means for the relative position in the direction. Thus, since the relative position of the core material 20 and the diameter expansion device 60 is determined by the positioning means, the diameter expansion device 60 is reliable even if the core material 20 and the diameter expansion device 60 are configured separately. It can act on the required part of the core material 20. Furthermore, the positioning means positions the relative circumferential direction position and the relative axial direction position of the core member 20 and the diameter expansion device 60, so that the diameter expansion device 60 is a hollow of the core material 20 configured separately. Positioning can be performed reliably in the part. At this time, means (in the embodiment, rails 26 and 28 and sleds 66 and 68) for moving the diameter expansion device 60 in the axial direction within the hollow portion of the core member 20 are positioned relative to each other in the circumferential direction. Since it is also used as the means, it is not necessary to provide a special configuration as the circumferential positioning means.

  Guides 46 a, 46 b, and 46 c that can be projected and retracted on the outer surface of the ring-shaped portion 22 a of the core material 20 are provided at appropriate positions in the circumferential direction of the core material 20. On the other hand, guides 48a and 46b that can be projected and retracted on the outer surface of the ring-shaped portion 22b of the core member 20 are provided at positions corresponding to the guides 46a and 46b.

  The guides 46a and 48a are attached to both ends of the connecting rod 50a. The connecting rod 50a is constantly pushed inward in the radial direction of the core member 20 by the spring 52, and the outer peripheral inner surface of the core member 20 is fixed. Is attached. In this state, the guides 46a and 48a remain sunk inward from the outer surface of the ring-shaped portion 22a. And the guides 46a and 48a are made to protrude on the outer surface of the ring-shaped parts 22a and 22b by pushing the connecting rod 50a outward in the radial direction of the core member 20 against the elastic force of the spring 52.

  Similarly, the guides 46b and 48b are attached to both ends of the connecting rod 50b, and the connecting rod 50b is also constantly pushed radially inward by the spring 54. Therefore, the guides 46b and 48b are in a state of sinking inward from the outer surface of the ring-shaped portion 22b. And the guides 46b and 48b are made to protrude on the outer surface of the ring-shaped parts 22a and 22b by pushing the connecting rod 50b radially outward of the core member 20 against the elastic force of the spring 54.

  The guide 46c is provided only on the front end side of the core member 20, and the guide 46c is attached to the connecting rod 50c. The connecting rod 50 c is attached to the inner surface of the outer periphery of the core member 20 in a state where the connecting rod 50 c is constantly pushed inward in the radial direction of the core member 20 by the spring 56. In this state, the guide 46c sinks inward from the outer surface of the ring-shaped portion 22a. And the guide 46c is protruded on the outer surface of the ring-shaped part 22a by pushing the connection rod 50c to the radial direction outward of the core material 20 against the elastic force of the spring 56. FIG.

  The diameter expanding device 60 shown in FIG. 5 is for expanding the diameter of the coil molded body 10 by releasing both ends of the coil molded body 10 held in a reduced diameter state on the outer surface of the core member 20. It is. In the rehabilitation work for one section from the manhole to the manhole, a plurality of core members 20 are used, but only one diameter expansion device 60 is required.

  The diameter expanding device 60 includes a metal base plate 62. The width of the base plate 62 is set to a size that allows the hollow portion of the core member 20 to move. Locking tools 64 a and 64 b are fixed to the front end and the rear end of the base plate 62. By pulling the locking members 64a and 64b with, for example, a rope (not shown), the diameter expanding device 60 can be moved forward or backward.

  Below the base plate 62, sleds 66 and 68 are provided that extend outward at a predetermined angle at both ends of the base plate 62 in the width direction. The sleds 66 and 68 functioning as running members are held at the end of one mounting plate 67 fixed to the lower surface of the base plate 62, for example. By mounting the sleds 66 and 68 on the rails 26 and 28 of the core member 20 as described above, the diameter expanding device 60 can remain in the hollow portion of the core member 20, or the locking tool 64a or 64b is pulled. Thus, the inside of the hollow portion of the core member 20 can travel in the axial direction.

  Two air motors 70a and 70b each incorporating a speed reduction mechanism are installed on the inner side of the locking tools 64a and 64b on the base plate 62. The output shafts of the air motors 70a and 70b are below the base plate 62, respectively. The rotating plates 71a and 71b are fixed. The air motor is, for example, such a motor that rotates the rotor when compressed air supplied from an air supply port enters a chamber partitioned by vanes.

  The rotary plates 71a and 71b are flat rectangular plates, for example, and their upper surfaces are fixed to the rotary shafts of the air motors 70a and 70b. The upper ends of the rotating rods 72a and 72b are fixed to both ends of the lower surfaces of the rotating plates 71a and 71b. Therefore, when the air motors 70a and 70b are driven to rotate, the rotating plates 71a and 71b rotate in a horizontal plane, and accordingly the rotating rods 72a and 72b attached to the lower surface are spaced apart from each other by 180 ° about the motor shaft. Hold and rotate.

  The rotary rod 72a acts on the handle 42a on the front side of the core member 20 described above. When the diameter expanding device 60 is positioned at a predetermined position of the hollow portion of the core member 20, the rotary plate 71a is moved by the air motor 70a. Is rotated, the rotating rod 72a rotates, and the rotating rod 72a hits the side surface of the handle 42a. When the rotating plate 71a is further rotated in this state, the handle 42a is rotated by the rotating rod 72a.

  When the rotating rod 72a is rotated to the left, the handle 42a is also rotated to the left, so that the tip of the bolt 40a is detached from the female screw 14a of the coil molded body 10. That is, the screw engagement between the bolt 40a and the female thread 14a of the coil molded body 10 is released, and the front end side holding of the coil molded body 10 is released. When the rotating rod 72b is rotated to the left, the handle 42b is also rotated to the left, so that the tip of the bolt 40b is detached from the female screw 14b of the coil molded body 10. That is, the screw engagement between the bolt 40b and the female screw 14b of the coil molded body 10 is released, and the holding of the rear end side of the coil molded body 10 is released.

Therefore, the air motors 70a and 70b and the rotating rods 72a and 72b that are rotated by the air motors 70a and 70b and act on the handles 42a and 42b function as releasing means for releasing the holding of the coil molded body. Standing pieces 74 are provided at both ends in the width direction. The standing piece 74 has a U-shaped cross section, for example, includes a flat portion and a side plate that rises forward from both ends thereof, and the side plate is fixed to the front shaft 76. The shaft 76 is rotatably held by a holder 78 fixed on the base plate 62.

  A stopper 80 is provided on the base plate 62 behind the upright piece 74. The stopper 80 is, for example, an “L” -shaped metal fitting, and one side thereof is fixed to the base plate 62.

  A torsion spring 82 is attached to the shaft 76 to which the standing piece 74 is fixed. Therefore, the standing piece 74 is urged rearward by the torsion spring 82 until it comes into contact with the stopper 80. However, when the standing piece 74 is pushed from the stopper 80 side (rear side), the standing piece 74 falls against the elastic force of the torsion spring 82.

  In the hollow portion of the core member 20 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the contact rod 44 extends inward from both sides as described above. The height of the standing piece 74 when it stands is set to a height at which at least the upper end of the standing piece 74 hits the hitting bar 44. Therefore, when the diameter expanding device 60 moves from the rear to the front in the hollow portion of the core member 20, the upright piece 74 is raised by the torsion spring 82, so that the upper end of the front surface of the upright piece 74 is behind the contact rod 44. It hits. When the diameter expanding device 60 moves forward as it is, the upright piece 74 is in contact with the rear side of the hitting bar 44, so that the core member 20 also moves as the diameter expanding device 60 moves.

  Therefore, the hitting bar 44 and the upright piece 74 cooperate to function as positioning means for fixing the relative positions of the core member 20 and the diameter expanding device 60 in the axial direction, and as moving means for moving the core member 20. Also works.

  However, when the diameter expanding device 60 is moved from the front to the rear, the rear surface upper end of the upright piece 74 hits the hitting bar 44. However, when the contact force of the hitting bar 44 exceeds the elastic force of the torsion spring 82, the upright piece 74 Fall forward. Therefore, in this case, the upright piece 74 and the contact rod 44 are not engaged.

  That is, when the diameter expansion device 60 should be moved, the upright piece 74 falls down, so that the diameter expansion device 60 can freely move the hollow portion of the core member 20. On the other hand, when the axial positioning is necessary, for example, the standing piece 74 remains in contact with the contact rod 44, and the positioning can be reliably performed when necessary.

  On the base plate 62 of the diameter expanding device 60, two e-cylinders 84 a and 84 b that are arranged obliquely so as to intersect the “X” shape at the axial center portion, and the center in the width direction of the base plate 62 forward in the axial direction. One air cylinder 84c upright is provided. The tip ends of the piston rods of these air cylinders 84a, 84b and 84c are arranged so as to act on the connecting rods 50a, 50b and 50c of the core member 20 described above. For example, when air is supplied from the air supply port (not shown) to the rear of the piston of the air cylinder 84a, the piston rod is pushed forward, whereby the connecting rod 50a is pushed and fixed to the connecting rod 50a. The guides 46a and 48a are pushed up. Therefore, the guides 46 a and 48 a protrude on the outer surface of the core member 20. Similarly, when air is supplied to the rear of each piston of the air cylinders 84b and 84c, the piston rod pushes the connecting rods 50b and 50c, so that the guides 46b and 46c fixed to the connecting rods 50b and 50c Projects on the outer surface.

  In this way, the guides 46a, 46b, 46c, 48a, 48b of the core material 20 can be operated by the diameter expanding device 60, so that it is necessary even after the core material 20 is introduced into the existing pipe 100 (described later). The guides 46a-46c and 48a-48b can be made to appear and disappear reliably.

  The guides 46a, 46b and 46c are front end side guides (first guides) for determining the front end of the coil molded body 10 having a reduced diameter on the outer surface of the core member 20, as shown in FIG. The guides 48a and 48b are also rear end side guides (second guides) for determining the rear end of the coil molded body 10. The guides 48a and 48b are used when the coil molded body 10 is expanded in diameter. This is to prevent the rear end of 10 from swinging (raising).

  As described with reference to FIG. 1, the length L2 of the coil molded body 10 when the diameter is reduced is longer than the length L1 when the diameter is increased. Accordingly, when the diameter of the coil molded body 10 is increased, the rear end of the coil molded body 10 moves forward by a distance (L2-L1). If the guides 48a and 48b are disposed at the rear end of the coil molded body 10 when the diameter is reduced, as with the guides 46a-46c, the rear end guides 48a and 48b are disposed behind the coil molded body 10 after the diameter expansion. As a result, the guides 48a and 48b do not function as rear end restrictions when the diameter of the coil molded body 10 is increased.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the positions of the guides 48 a and 48 b are arranged at positions that are predicted to become the rear end of the coil molded body 10 when the diameter is expanded. In other words, the coil formed body 10 at the time of diameter reduction is disposed forward by the distance (L2-L1) from the rear end. Then, the guides 48a and 48b are positioned at the rear end position when the coil molded body 10 is expanded, and the guides 48a and 48b swing the rear end of the coil molded body when the coil molded body 10 is expanded. Can be regulated or suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 7, adjacent core materials 20, that is, the preceding core material 20 and the subsequent core material 20 are connected by a connecting member 90 when they are drawn together into the existing pipe 100 (FIG. 8). .

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the connecting member 90 is constituted by an IT hanger. The IT hanger or connecting member 90 includes a screw body 92 and a rotating plate 96 that is rotatably supported by a shaft 94 at the tip of the screw body 92 and has the same diameter as the screw body 92. In this embodiment, furthermore, a collar 98 made of metal or plastic is put over the screw body 92 and the rotating plate 96, so that the rotating plate 96 is in the unconnected state shown in FIG. It is held in a straight line state (alphabet “I” shape) on the 92 axes.

  The screw main body 92 is inserted into a through hole 34a (FIG. 4) of the connection fitting 34 provided at the rear end of the hollow portion of the preceding core member 20, and nuts are screwed into the screw portions from both sides of the connection fitting 34. Thereby, the screw main body 92 is firmly fixed to the connecting fitting 34 at the rear end of the preceding core member 20.

  When the succeeding core member 20 is connected to the preceding core member 20, as shown in FIG. 7B from the state of FIG. 7A, the hollow portion of the core member 20 followed by the rotation plate 96 of the connecting member 90 is used. The succeeding core member 20 is brought close to the preceding core member 20 so as to be inserted through the through hole 32a (FIG. 3) of the connection fitting 32 provided at the front end. At this time, the collar 98 is pushed by the front surface of the coupling metal 32 and moves onto the screw body 92.

  When the rotating plate 96 of the connecting member 90 passes through the through hole 32a of the connecting member 32 of the core member 20 that follows, the rotating plate 96 rotates by its own weight and is in a state perpendicular to the screw body 92, that is, the alphabet “T It becomes a state of "". Accordingly, the rotating plate 96 of the connecting member 90 that is rotated vertically is engaged with the connecting fitting 32 of the core member 20 that follows. That is, the preceding core member 20 and the subsequent core member 20 are connected by the connecting member 90.

  In this embodiment, the front end side connection fitting 32 and the rear end connection fitting 34 of the core member 20 are both spaced apart in the circumferential direction as described above (opposed at 180 ° in the embodiment). Provided one by one. Therefore, when the two connecting metal fittings 34 of the preceding core material and the two connecting metal fittings 32 of the following core material are connected by the connecting member 90, the preceding core material 20 follows by the connection at two locations in the circumferential direction. The core material 20 is not restrained and displaced in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the preceding core rails 26 and 28 and the following core rails 26 and 28 are straight, so that a straight line can be formed and the diameter expanding device 60 can be stably run on the rails.

  As described above, the preceding connecting member 34 of the core material and the connecting member 90 (the screw main body 92) are firmly fixed. Therefore, it can be said that the preceding core member 20 and the connecting member 90 are connected with rigidity. On the other hand, the connecting member 32 and the connecting member 90 of the subsequent core member are flexible with respect to the connecting member 90 because the screw main body 92 is only loosely inserted through the through hole 32a of the connecting member 32. It can be said that they are connected. Therefore, the connecting member 90 can be displaced in the radial direction of the through hole 32a with respect to the through hole 32a of the connecting metal 32, and the connecting metal 32 and the connecting member 90 have a certain length in the axial direction (the length of the connecting member 90). It is relatively displaceable. That is, in this embodiment, the preceding core connecting metal 34 and the connecting metal 90 are not relatively displaced, but the subsequent core connecting metal 32 and the connecting member 90 are relatively displaceable.

  The coil molded body 10 shown in FIG. 1A is laid in the existing pipe 100 shown in FIG. 8 using the core member 20 and the diameter expanding device 60 described above.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the existing pipe 100 such as a fume pipe is buried in the ground between the first manhole 102 and the second manhole 104 (one section). A roller 106 is temporarily installed in the first manhole 102, and the rope 108 is tied to a winch (not shown) installed on the ground via the roller 106. The roller 106 can be temporarily installed in the first manhole 102 by, for example, a method in which the roller 106 is provided on a member hooked on the upper end opening edge of the first manhole 102. A leading conduit 110 is connected to the rear end of the rope 108, for example, in the second manhole 104, and the leading conduit 110 is introduced from the second manhole 104 into the existing pipe 100.

  A core material 20 that is held on the outer surface in a state where the diameter of the coil molded body 10 is reduced as shown in FIG. Then, the rope 108 is pulled in the direction of arrow A (FIG. 9), that is, in the direction of the first manhole 102 by a winch (not shown). In response, first, the leading conduit 110 and one core member 20 connected thereto are drawn into the existing pipe 100 from the manhole 104.

  Before or after the first core member 20 is introduced into the existing pipe 100, as described with reference to FIG. 7, for example, an IT hanger fixed to the connecting fitting 34 on the rear end side of the first core member 20. The first core member 20 and the second core member 20 are connected in, for example, the second manhole 104 by connecting the connecting member 90 as described above to the connecting fitting 32 on the front end side of the subsequent core member 20. .

  Thereafter, similarly, before or after the preceding core member 20 is introduced into the existing pipe 100, a connecting member 90 such as an IT hanger fixed to the connecting bracket 34 on the rear end side of the core member 20 is provided. The preceding core member 20 and the following core member 20 are connected, for example, in the second manhole 104 by connecting to the connecting fitting 32 on the front end side of the subsequent core member 20. By repeating such a connecting operation, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, a plurality of core members 20 (holding the coil molded body 10) are pulled by pulling the rope 108 from the first manhole 102 side. Is drawn into the existing pipe 100 from the second manhole 104 side.

  At this time, the rear end connecting bracket 34 and the connecting member 90 of the preceding core member 20 are connected with rigidity, but the front end connecting bracket 32 and the connecting member of the subsequent core member 20 are connected with flexibility. Has been. Therefore, when the core members 20, 20,... Connected by the connecting member 90 are pulled by the rope 108, the front end of the subsequent core member can easily follow the rear end of the preceding core member. Therefore, for example, even if there is, for example, an ascending step between the site of the existing pipe 100 where the preceding core material 20 exists and the site where the subsequent core material 20 exists, the front end of the subsequent core material is the leading core. Since it is pulled up by the connecting member 90 that is firmly connected to the rear end connecting bracket 34 of the material, the subsequent core material can easily exceed the ascending step.

  However, the connecting method by the connecting member 90 is not limited to the method of the embodiment in which the connecting member 90 is rigidly connected to the preceding core member and is connected to the subsequent core member with flexibility. A method of connecting both the core material and the subsequent core material with flexibility may be employed.

  What is important is that a member having high rigidity is used between the connecting members 34 and 32, such as the connecting member 90 (IT hanger) in the embodiment of FIG. Then, even if the connecting member 90 is connected to the connecting fittings 34 and 32 in a flexible manner, the front end of the subsequent core member can follow the rear end of the preceding core member. In addition, even if the existing pipe 100 is partially swung from side to side, the subsequent core material can be easily drawn beyond that part.

  As shown in FIG. 9, by connecting a new core material to the preceding core material and pulling the rope 108, a large number of core materials 20 that hold the coil molded body 10 and are connected are continuously formed in the existing pipe 100. Be drawn into. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the core material 20 loaded with the reduced diameter coil formed body 10 is drawn in the state of being connected by the connecting member 90 over the entire length of the existing pipe 100, that is, in all one section.

  Thereafter, the roller 112 is also temporarily installed in the second manhole 104, and the tip of the rope 114 is brought into the first manhole 102 through the hollow portion of each core member 20 from the second manhole 104. And in the 1st manhole 102, the front-end | tip of the rope 114 is latched to the locking tool 64b of the rear-end side of the diameter expanding apparatus 60 as shown in FIG. By pulling in the B direction, that is, in the direction of the second manhole 104, the diameter expanding device 60 is drawn from the rear end side into the hollow portion of the core material 20 at the head (closest to the first manhole 102 side).

  FIG. 12 shows a state in which the diameter expansion device 60 is placed in the hollow portion of the core member 20 holding the coil molded body 10 having a reduced diameter on the outer surface, FIG. 12 (a) is a perspective view, and FIG. FIG. 12B is a view seen from the left side, and FIG. 12C is a view showing the inside of the core material 20 cut along the line XIIC-XIIC in FIG.

  In order for the diameter expanding device 60 to act on the core material 20 to expand the diameter of the coil molded body 10, the circumferential positioning means (in the embodiment, rails 26 and 28 and sleds 66 and 68 in the embodiment) In the hollow portion, the diameter expansion device 60 is positioned at an appropriate relative position in the circumferential direction with respect to the core material 20, and the core material 20 is hollowed by the axial positioning means (the hitting bar 44 and the standing piece 74 in the embodiment). The diameter expanding device 60 needs to be positioned at an appropriate axial relative position with respect to the core member 20 in the portion.

  Circumferential positioning can be achieved by entering sleds 66 and 68 on rails 26 and 28.

  For the positioning in the axial direction, first, the diameter expansion device 60 is pulled by the rope 114 and moved in the direction of the second manhole 104, and the contact bar 44 is passed in a state where the standing piece 74 is tilted, and then the diameter expansion device 60 is moved. This can be achieved by pulling the diameter expansion device 60 with the rope 114 and moving it in the direction of the first manhole 102 until the upper standing piece 74 hits the contact rod 44 of the core member 20.

  When the proper relative position is determined, the tips of the piston rods of the air cylinders 72a, 72b and 72c of the diameter expansion device 60 are positioned at positions where they can act on the connecting rods 50a, 50b and 50c of the core member 20. . Therefore, when air is supplied to the air supply ports of the air cylinders 72a and 72b, the connecting rods 50a and 50b are pushed against the elastic force of the springs 52 and 54, and the guide 46a fixed to the connecting rods 50a and 50b. , 48 a and 46 b, 48 b protrude on the outer surface of the core member 20. Further, when air is supplied to the air supply port of the acylinder 72c, the connecting rod 50c is pushed against the elastic force of the spring 56, and the guide 46c fixed to the connecting rod 50c protrudes on the outer surface of the core member 20. .

  That is, the guides 46a, 46b, and 46c are in contact with the front end of the coil molded body 10 held on the core member 20, and are also inside the rear end of the coil molded body 10 (depending on the above-described distance (L2-L1)). )), The guides 48a and 48b protrude. Next, the diameter of the coil molded body 10 on the core material 20 is expanded.

  When the diameter expanding device 60 is properly positioned with respect to the core member 20, the rotating rods 70a and 70b of the diameter expanding device 60 are present at the positions of the handles 42a and 42b of the core member 20, as shown in FIG. Then, by rotating the handles 42a and 42b with the rotating rods 70a and 70b, the coil molded body 10 is released from the core member 20 and expanded in diameter.

  The diameter of the coil molded body 10 is expanded in the order of first releasing (holding) the rear end side and then releasing (holding) the front end side.

  Therefore, first, when the air motor 66b is rotated to rotate the rotating rod 70b to the left, the rotating rod 70b hits the side surface of the handle 42b, and the handle 42b, that is, the bolt 40b to which the handle 42b is fixed is rotated counterclockwise. Therefore, the bolt 40b is dropped from the female screw 14b of the coil molded body 10, and the fixing and holding on the core member 20 at the rear end of the coil molded body 10 are released. At this time, the guides 48 a and 48 b can suppress the “rambling” of the rear end of the coil molded body 10.

  Next, when the air motor 66a is rotated to rotate the rotating rod 70a counterclockwise, the rotating rod 70a hits the side surface of the handle 42a, and the handle 42a, that is, the bolt 40a to which the handle 42a is fixed is rotated counterclockwise. Therefore, the bolt 40a is dropped from the female screw 14a of the coil molded body 10, and the fixing and holding on the core member 20 at the front end of the coil molded body 10 are released.

  In this way, by releasing the fixing (holding) at both ends of the coil molded body, the coil molded body 10 changes from the reduced diameter state of FIG. 1 (b) to the state of FIG. 1 (a) by its own elasticity. The diameter is expanded. As described above, since the outer diameter of the coil molded body 10 at the time of diameter expansion is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the existing pipe, the expanded coil molded body 10 has the core material 20 that holds it. In the place where there is, the outer periphery of the coil molded body 10 is laid so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the existing pipe 100. That is, the diameter of the coil molded body 10 can be easily increased and laid by the diameter expansion device 60.

  It should be noted that the rear end side of the coil molded body that is released first is still unreleased by providing a time difference so that the rear end side of the coil molded body 10 is first released and then the front end side is released. It is drawn toward the fixed front end. Therefore, if the positioning of the front end side of the coil molded body is reliably performed, the coil molded body can be laid in the existing pipe without a gap.

  In this way, the coil molded body 10 is released from the leading core material 20 of the core material 20 drawn continuously over the entire length of one section, and the coil molded body 10 is moved to its position as shown in FIG. Stay on.

  As shown in FIG. 13, a state in which the diameter of the coil formed body 10 is released from the preceding core material 20 and the diameter thereof is expanded is shown in FIG. In FIG. 14A, it can be seen that the outer surface of the coil molded body 10 which has been released from the preceding core member and has an enlarged diameter is laid in close contact with the inner surface of the existing pipe 100. At that time, the rear end of the coil molded body 10 is regulated by the rear end side guide 48b (and 48a) and is in front of it. The core material 20 holding the expanded coil molded body remains in its original position. The succeeding core member 20 is connected to the preceding core member 20 by a connecting member 90, and the coil molded body 10 is reduced in diameter and held on the subsequent core member 20.

  Next, the coil molded body 10 is released from the subsequent core material 20 and expanded in diameter, but when the diameter of the coil molded body 10 on the subsequent core material 20 is expanded in the state shown in FIG. The gap between the front end of the unexpanded coil formed body 10 and the rear end of the expanded coil formed body is widened. This is because when the diameter of the coil molded body is increased, the rear end is first released, and the front end side whose position is regulated by the front end side guides 46b and 46c (and 46a) does not move.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, after releasing the coil formed body from the preceding core member 20 and expanding the diameter, as shown in FIG. 14B, the rear end of the coil formed body whose diameter has been increased and the subsequent core The gap with the front end of the coil molded body 10 in a reduced diameter state on the material 20 is narrowed.

  Specifically, from the state of FIG. 14 (a), by pulling the rope 108 from the first manhole 102 side, the guides 46 and 46c (46a) on the subsequent core material 20 have been expanded in diameter. The preceding core material that has held the expanded coil formed body is brought toward the first manhole 102 together with the subsequent core material connected thereto until it abuts the rear end 10. That is, after releasing the coil molded body from the preceding core material and expanding the diameter, the subsequent core material holding the coil molded body not expanded in diameter is aligned in the axial direction.

  As described above, since the connecting member (IT hanger) 90 and the connecting fitting 32 are connected so as to be relatively displaceable in the axial direction, first, when pulling the subsequent core member toward the first manhole 102, Only the subsequent core material moves and approaches the preceding core material, and then the preceding core material and the subsequent core material are drawn toward the first manhole 102 together.

  When the alignment of the subsequent core material 20 is performed, the preceding core material 20 that has already released the diameter of the coil molded body 10 is pushed by the subsequent core material 20 as shown in FIG. The leading portion enters the first manhole 102.

  However, before the alignment shown in FIG. 14B, the diameter expanding device 60 is pulled from the second manhole 104 side by the rope 114 as shown in FIG. It moves to the hollow part of the core material holding the coil molded body which expands in diameter. At this time, the diameter expanding device 60 moves on the rails 26 and 28 by the sleds 66 and 68.

  After that, in the state of FIG. 15, the coil molded body 10 is released from the (second) core material 20 following the preceding (first) core material by the method described above with reference to FIG. To expand the diameter.

  Then, the step of aligning the subsequent core material and the step of expanding the diameter of the coil formed body on the subsequent core material described with reference to FIG. 14 are repeatedly executed, and finally the first All coil molded bodies in one section from the manhole 102 to the second manhole 104 are expanded in diameter. This state is shown in FIG.

  In order to expand the diameter of the coil molded body on the second core material from the top, and then expand the diameter of the coil molded body on the third core material, the third core material is placed on the second core material. When aligning with the rear end of the coil molded body whose diameter has already been increased, the leading core member is pushed by the second core member and comes out into the first manhole 102. Therefore, if the connection between the leading core material and the second core material by the connecting member 90 is released, the leading core material can be recovered from the upper opening of the position manhole 102 to the ground.

  Thereafter, similarly, the emptied core material may be sequentially taken out from the first manhole 102.

  In FIG. 16, the last core member 20 is pulled up from the first manhole 102, the diameter expanding device 60 is pulled up from the second manhole 104, and the coil molded body laying process is completed.

  According to the above-described embodiment, since the diameter expanding device 60 is configured separately from the core material 20, the plurality of core materials 20 that hold the coil molded body 10 with a reduced diameter are provided in the existing pipe 100. Then, the coil formed body 10 on each core member 20 can be expanded using the same diameter expanding device 60. Therefore, only one diameter expansion device is required, which is economical. And since the several core material 20 holding the coil molded object 10 in which each diameter was reduced can be prepared previously, a coil molded object laying process can be performed efficiently.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17, the lining material 18 shown in FIG. 2 is lined on the inner surface of the coil molded body laid in the existing pipe 100. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, for example, a lining material 18 folded into a heart shape is introduced into the inside of a coil molded body, and high-temperature and high-pressure steam is pumped into the lining material 18 to thereby form a lining material. The lining material 18 restored to a tubular shape is laid on the inner surface of the coil molded body 10 by utilizing the shape memory characteristics of 18.

  That is, the rehabilitation of the existing pipe 100 is performed by performing the coil molded body laying process of FIGS. 8 to 16 and the subsequent lining process shown in FIG. FIG. 17 shows a rehabilitated pipeline in which a coil molded body is laid in an existing pipe and a lining material is lined.

  As described above, since there are various steps in the existing pipe, in the core material 20A of another embodiment shown in FIG. 18, the inner side extends further forward from the front end of the core material 20 and extends forward. An arbitrary number of sleds 21 (eight in the embodiment shown in FIG. 18) are attached at an appropriate interval in the circumferential direction, for example, by welding. Since these sleds 21 have a tapered shape as a whole, even if there is a step on the inner surface of the existing pipe, the sled 21 can easily get over the step.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, since it is necessary to align the rear end of the preceding core member with the front end of the subsequent core member, the rear end of the core member 20A provided with the sled 21 When the front end of the following core material is brought close to the rear end of the preceding core material, a slit 23 as a receiving portion that receives the sled 21 is formed at a position corresponding to the position of the sled 21. Then, when the front end of the following core material is brought close to the rear end of the preceding core material, the slit 23 receives the sled 21 as shown in FIG. Instead, it can be aligned by contacting the rear end of the preceding core material.

  In the above-described embodiment, female screws 14a and 14b formed at both ends of the coil molded body 10 are screwed together as holding means for releasably holding the coil molded body 10 having a reduced diameter on the core member 20. Bolts 40a and 40b were used. Since the combination of the female screws 14a and 14b and the bolts 40a and 40b can be fixed (held) only within the thickness of the coil molded body 10, that is, there is nothing that protrudes on the outer surface of the coil molded body 10. When the core material 20 holding the coil molded body 10 having a reduced diameter is drawn into the existing pipe 100, something on the outer surface of the coil molded body 10 is not caught on the inner surface of the existing pipe 100, and the core material is drawn smoothly. be able to. That is, the resistance when the core material holding the coil molded body is pulled into the existing pipe can be made as small as possible.

  However, the holding means is not limited to that of the embodiment, and an arbitrary configuration can be adopted.

  For example, it is also conceivable to use a gel-like material that swells in the radial direction when the handle is tilted and that can be released when the handle is returned, such as a “wine cap” or “wine stopper”. A hole is formed at the end of the coil molded body, the gel-like material is inserted into the hole, and the handle is tilted to inflate and hold the gel-like material in the radial direction. What is necessary is just to cancel the swelling of a gel-like thing.

  Furthermore, you may use the holding means which pinches | interposes the edge part of a coil molded object between the outer surfaces of a core material.

  Although not described in the above embodiment, when a core material loaded with a coiled body having a reduced diameter is continuously drawn into the existing pipe 100, for example, a resin sheet is provided in advance on the inner surface of the existing pipe 100. Alternatively, the friction between the coil molded body and the inner surface of the existing pipe may be reduced.

  In the above-described embodiment, the guides 46a, 46b and 46c and the guides 48a and 48b are all provided on the core member 20 and operated on the diameter expanding device 60 side. However, these guides may be provided in the diameter expansion device 60 to restrict the front end and the rear end of the coil molded body 10 on the core member 20.

  Furthermore, although the IT hanger is used as the connection member 90 in the embodiment, the connection member 90 is not limited to this, and connection members having other arbitrary shapes and structures can be used.

  In the above-described embodiment, air-driven ones such as the air motors 70a and 70b and the air cylinders 84a, 84b, and 84c are used. However, these may be electrically driven or hydraulically driven.

  In addition, the specific numerical values such as the dimensions given above are merely examples, and can be appropriately changed according to necessity such as product specifications.
