Description

  The present invention relates to a pipe connection method for connecting tubular bodies.

  Tubular bodies such as glass fiber reinforced resin composite pipes used in water and sewage and agricultural sewer pipes have a receiving port with a diameter larger than that of the tube body at one end, and a receiving port at the other end. An insertion slot for insertion is formed. In order to connect this kind of tubular body, a plurality of tubular bodies are connected by being arranged and inserted in the tube axis direction. However, since the weight increases when the diameter is large, a wire rope or the like is placed inside the tubular body. A connection method is adopted in which the vehicle is disposed and pulled, or is disposed outside the tubular body and pulled.

  For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a plurality of tubes are arranged, a locking rod is bridged between the open ends of the tubes at both ends, and a wire rope is locked to the locking rod through the inside of the tube. There is an inner connection method in which a tubular body is connected by pulling a wire rope using a traction machine.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an outer connection in which a wire rope 103 and a lever hoist 104 are attached to the outer peripheral surfaces of the pipes 101 and 102 to be connected, respectively, and the wire rope 103 is pulled by repeatedly operating the levers of the two lever hoists 104. There is also a method. This type of connection method is disclosed in Patent Document 2, for example, and a plurality of ice price portions 105 for hooking a hook of a lever hoist 104 are provided on a wire rope 103. The wire rope 103 is wound around the outer peripheral surfaces of the pipes 101, 102, the ice price portion 105 at one end of the wire rope 103 is passed through the ice price portion 105 at the other end, and the ice price portion 105 is connected to the lever hoist.

  The connection method as described above has problems in the following points, and there is still room for improvement. In other words, the inner connection method has a disadvantage that the locking rod is easily broken or detached from the opening end by pulling the wire rope.

  Further, in the outer connection method, an operator is arranged for each of the plurality of lever hoists, and these lever hoists must be operated simultaneously. In particular, when pulling, in order to improve the pulling balance, two wire ropes are often used for each pipe, and at least two lever hoists are usually used.

  Therefore, it is necessary to proceed with the connection work by arranging a plurality of workers and confirming that the pipe is inserted in the axial direction while checking from multiple directions, and checking the insertion amount of the pipe. did not become. At that time, it is necessary to apply a load evenly in the connecting direction to the pipes so that the axes coincide with each other, so that it is not easy to center the pipes to be connected, and skill is required. When the pipe is inserted obliquely with respect to the axial direction and connected, it is necessary to pull out the connected pipe and connect it again, which requires work and time.

  In addition, a space for the operator who operates the lever hoist is required at a plurality of locations around the pipe, and a large work space for connection must be secured.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to enable efficient and quick connection work with a small number of workers when connecting tubular bodies. Another object of the present invention is to provide a pipe connection method capable of reliably performing centering between tubular bodies.

It is characterized by interposing a traction machine of a cylindrical member, operating the traction machine to wind up the second string-like member, and pulling and connecting the other tubular body to one tubular body.

  Due to this specific matter, the towing machine operated for connecting the tubular bodies only needs to be provided on one side of the tubular bodies, enabling connection work in a small space, and even a small number of workers can perform the connection work efficiently. It becomes possible. In addition, the second string-like member is arranged along the axial direction on the outer side surfaces of both of the tubular bodies to be connected and spans in the radial direction of the non-connected end portion of the other tubular body, so that the traction machine is operated. By doing so, the non-connection end part of the other tubular body is pressed in the connection direction via the second string-like member. Further, an insertion force can be applied to the other tubular body evenly in the axial direction, so that the tubular body is not connected obliquely and centering can be easily performed. As a result, by simply operating the traction machine, the other tubular body can be easily pulled in the direction of connection with the one tubular body and reliably and quickly connected.

  In the pipe connection method, a holding jig for holding the second string-like member in the radial direction may be attached to the non-connection end portion of the other tubular body, and the second string-like member may be guided in the radial direction. preferable.

  Accordingly, the second string-like member can be easily pulled while being held at the non-connection end portion of the other tubular body, and a load in the connecting direction can be reliably applied to the tubular body.

A pair of insertion rods fixed to each other and a rotating body that is rotatably fixed to the distal end portion of each insertion rod and guides the string-like member, and the holding jig is opened at the non-connected end portion of the tubular body. It is preferable to attach to the end so as to traverse in the radial direction.

  Accordingly, the second string-like member can be stably spanned in the radial direction on the non-connection end portion of the tubular body and can be held by the holding jig, so that the connection work can be performed efficiently and in a short time. It becomes possible. In addition, the holding jig can be installed corresponding to tubular bodies of various calibers, by adjusting the length of the spacer, and can change the arrangement interval of the pair of insertion rods, and can be easily attached and detached. Can do.

  Further, in the pipe connecting method, a third string-like member is wound around the outer peripheral surface of one tubular body in the circumferential direction and fixed, and an annular portion provided at an end of the third string-like member is fixed to the fixing point. A may be provided.

  Thereby, the third string-like member is fixed to one tubular body, and the annular portion of the third string-like member can be provided at the fixing point A, and both ends of the first string-like member are connected to the third string. It can be connected to the annular part of the member and fixed to the fixing point A.

  In the pipe connecting method according to the present invention, the first string-like member is located on the outer surface on the side opposite to the fixing point A from the fixing point A on the outer side surface of one tubular body. Is also passed through the movable point B located closer to the connection end, and is wound obliquely to the original fixed point A, and both ends of the first string-like member are connected and fixed at the fixed point A to form a second string-like shape. A member is wound from the movable point B to the fixed point A via the outer surface of the tubular body, the outer surface of the other tubular body, and the non-connected end, and the second string-like member is wound on both tubular bodies. It arrange | positions along an axial direction on an outer side surface, and is spanned in the radial direction of the non-connection end part of the other tubular body. A string is connected to either the first string-like member and the second string-like member at the fixed point A, or the first string-like member and the second string-like member at the movable point B. Since the second string-like member is wound up by operating the towing machine and the other tubular body is pulled and connected to the one tubular body, the Even if the number of workers, the tubular body is not inserted obliquely, centering can be easily performed, and as a result, the tubular body can be reliably and quickly connected.

Moreover, the string-like member 23 presses the insertion port 13 of the tubular body 10b through the holding jig 5 in the tube axis direction, and the tubular body 10b is drawn in the connecting direction with the tubular body 10a. At this time, a load in the tube axis direction is evenly applied to the opening end portion of the insertion port 13 of the tubular body 10b over which the string-like member 23 is bridged via the pair of insertion rods 52.

  The tubular body 10b is evenly drawn without being inclined with respect to the connection direction with the tubular body 10a, and is connected to the tubular body 10a. Therefore, the operator can connect the tubular body 10a and the tubular body 10b very easily by operating only one traction machine 6. The connected tubular body 10a and the tubular body 10b are connected in a state in which both axial centers are matched. Since only one traction machine 6 is required, the number of workers and the work space are small, and the tubular body 10a and the tubular body 10b can be connected quickly and reliably.

  Thereafter, the above connection process is repeated for other tubular bodies, and a plurality of tubular bodies are connected to construct a pipe. Since the worker can connect the tubular bodies by work only from the outside of the tubular body, the worker can proceed the connection work safely and efficiently without being influenced by the work environment.

  When a plurality of polyvinyl chloride pipes are connected by the above pipe connection method, a large-diameter tubular body having a pipe length of 4 m and a diameter of 250 mm to 600 mm can be smoothly connected to each other. did it. The string-like member 22 used to connect the tubular bodies having these calibers is sufficient to have two types of lengths of 3 m or 4.5 m, and the string-like member 23 is one type of length of 8 m. It was confirmed that it was sufficient. That is, it was confirmed that it is not necessary to prepare various types of string-like members when connecting large-diameter tubular bodies, and that the tubular bodies can be connected efficiently and reliably with a small number of members.

  In the present invention, the traction machine 6 is not limited to being interposed between the connection of the shackle 4 and the string-like member 23 at the fixed point A, but the string-like member 22 and the string-like member 23 at the movable point B May be interposed during the connection, and it may be provided at any one of these connection portions. Moreover, the method of constructing the fixing point A with respect to the tubular body 10a is not limited to using the string-like member 21 as described above, but the annular portion 201 such as the string-like member 22 can be coupled to the outer surface of the tubular body 10a. Any configuration is possible as long as it is configured. The fixing point A may be configured using a general-purpose fixing jig (for example, ESLON insertion machine manufactured by Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.), and the annular portion 201 such as the string-like member 22 may be connected. The string-shaped member holding jig 5 is not limited to the configuration described in the above embodiment, and may be configured in any manner as long as it is a holding jig that guides the string-shaped member in the radial direction.
