Description of the Related Art An electric fusion joint has rapidly spread in recent years as a joint for a thermoplastic pipe such as a gas pipe, and is a molded article in which a heating wire is embedded in an inner peripheral surface. The fusion with the tube gives a predetermined power to this heating wire at a constant voltage,
This is performed by heating and melting the interface. The energization time must be energized for a preset time according to the diameter and type of the joint. There is a fusion method in which a change is measured by a sensor and the power is automatically stopped based on the information (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 63-111394 and 5-60288). With these methods, quantitative and stable results can be obtained.However, energization is not automatically terminated even after the specified energization time has elapsed due to insufficient insertion of pipes and joints, poor plug insertion of the sensor part, etc. was there. Excessive energization for a long time due to these causes may cause thermal deterioration of the fusion material, melting of the tube, short-circuiting of the heating wire, ignition, etc. Even if the energization does not automatically end, it is necessary to forcibly stop the energization. As a preventive measure, there is a method of forcibly stopping the energization for a uniform time regardless of the diameter and type of the joint from the start of the energization. However, the larger the bore, the longer the fusion time. There is a need to.

No. 3) and a method of discriminating from the magnitude of current detected first at the time of fusion (Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-27014).

別することはできない。In the above-described method for identifying a joint, it is necessary to add a special recognition resistance and a data recording plate to the joint, so that the manufacture of the joint is complicated. Further, in the method of identifying by setting the diameter of the energization terminal to a different diameter for each type, it is necessary for an installer to measure the terminal diameter, and the construction work is complicated. Also,
In general, a joint for a large-diameter pipe requires a larger total amount of heat at the time of fusion than a joint for a small-diameter pipe, and therefore, it is necessary to increase the output of the fusion control device for the fusion work. However, increasing the output inevitably increases the size of the device, resulting in loss of portability. Therefore, in consideration of portability, in the case of a large diameter pipe joint, it is necessary to perform fusion using the maximum output of the fusion control device regardless of the type of the diameter. In this case, the diameter of the large-diameter pipe joint cannot be identified only from the current value detected first at the time of fusion.

と大口径管用を識別することが可能となる。In general, the joint for small-diameter pipes requires less total heat in fusion than the joint for large-diameter pipes, so that fusion can be performed in a short time even if the heating value of the heating wire is suppressed. For this reason, the resistance value of the heating wire can be made larger than that for a large diameter pipe. Therefore, if the resistance value of the heating wire used in the small-diameter pipe joint is made larger than that of the large-diameter pipe joint, the current value or the resistance value at the start of energization can be measured to easily switch between the small-diameter pipe and the large-diameter pipe. It becomes possible to identify.

Therefore, the current value or resistance value after a certain period of time from the start of energization is measured, compared with the current value or resistance value at the start of energization, and if the change amount or integrated power amount is known, the type of heating wire used Can be determined. Therefore, if the type of heating wire is changed for each caliber, the caliber can be easily identified.
