【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、被接続部材の壁部に形成された開口部に取付けられ管状部材をこの被接続部材に接続するための配管の接続装置にかかり、たとえば、排水流入管を排水桝に接続するための接続装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
住宅の風呂,台所の流し台,洗面所,トイレ等から排出される排水は、宅地内の地中に埋設された排水流入管を流れ、複数の流れの合流地点に設置された宅内桝で合流したのち排水管を流れる。
そして、排水は、宅地内または宅地外に設置された公共桝と、公共桝に接続される排水流出管とを流れた後、宅地外の公共の下水道本管に排出される。
【0003】
前記宅内桝は、宅地内に設置され、各種構造のインバート部を有する桝のことであり、必要に応じてトラップが設けられている場合もある。前記公共桝は、宅地内または宅地外に設置されて、宅地内の排水を宅地外の下水道本管に流し込むための最終の桝のことである。
公共桝,取付け桝と呼ばれる排水桝も宅内桝の一種で、一般的には全て排水桝と呼ばれているものであり、これらの排水桝は、ポリプロピレンやポリ塩化ビニルなどの硬質の合成樹脂を材料として形成されている。
宅内桝,公共桝など排水桝には、上部に掃除口が取付けられ、この掃除口の上端部は蓋により閉塞されている。前記排水流入管,宅内桝,排水管,公共桝,排水流出管および公共の下水道本管等により構成される排水管路は、雨水や地下水等いわゆる不明水が浸入して排水の量が増加しないように全体的に密閉構造になっている。
【0004】
通常、自治体の行ういわゆる面整備事業等の下水道工事においては、排水の本管となる大口径の公共の下水道本管を先に道路等の地中に敷設するとともに、宅地内または宅地外にその宅地用の公共桝を設置し、下水道本管から分岐した排水流出管をこの公共桝に接続しておく。
【0005】
排水桝には、側壁に入口側接続口のソケット(または、差口)が一体的に設けられていることが多いが、入口側接続口が予め設けられていない排水桝も使用される。
後者のタイプの排水桝を公共桝として使用する場合には、入口側接続口を設けない状態で一旦埋設しておき、宅地内の排水用の配管工事でこの排水桝に排水流入管が接続されるのを待つことになる。
【0006】
図9は、このような予め入口側に開口部を設けない排水桝を公共桝として使用する場合に、排水流入管(排水管)を接続する従来技術を示す説明図である。
図9(A)に示す排水桝1は宅地内に設置されており、排水桝1の出口側接続口2に接続された排水流出管3は、宅地内から宅地外の公共の下水道本管に接続されている。面整備事業等では、排水桝1は開口部8を形成しない状態で地中に埋設される。
【0007】
住民側が行う宅地内の排水管路の設置工事では、排水桝1の周囲を掘り起こして露出させ、排水桝1の側壁4に入口側接続口5を取付けたのち排水流入管6を接続する作業を行う。
この場合、宅地内の建物の形状や配置,上水道やガス管の配置などによって、排水桝1に対する排水流入管6の接続方向は宅地毎に異なることが多い。そこで、接続作業では、排水流入管6の接続方向および接続位置に合わせて、ホールソー7により側壁4に開口部8を形成する(図9(A))。
次いで、図9(B)に示す入口側接続口5を、開口部8の位置に合わせて側壁4に接着剤で固着する。接着剤が硬化して接着強度を発揮するまでの間に入口側接続口5が動いてしまわないように、入口側接続口5を針金9などで締め付け固定する(図9(C))。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、従来は、入口側接続口5を接着剤で側壁4に固着していたので、接着作業や針金9を巻き付ける作業などが煩雑で作業時間も長くかかっていた。
また、側壁4と入口側接続口5が一体化するので、入口側接続口5と排水流入管6の位置や方向にずれがあると排水流入管6を接続するのが困難になったり、排水流入管6の設置工事後に地震などで振動すると、配管の接続部が破損する可能性もあった。
また、針金9を側壁4の全周に巻き付けるために、排水桝1の周囲の土砂を全周にわたって掘り起こす必要があり、この掘り起こし作業が面倒であった。
【0009】
図10は、雨水桝11に雨水流入管13を接続する他の従来技術を示す部分斜視図である。
図10に示す技術では、雨水桝11の側壁12に形成された開口部に、リング状でゴム製のシールパッキン10を装着している。雨水流入管13は、ゴムの弾性力に抗してシールパッキン10内に挿入されている。
【0010】
この場合には、雨水流入管13がシールパッキン10に対して位置決め保持されていないので、不安定でシール性も十分ではなくシールパッキン10の部分から水漏れを起こす恐れがある。そのため、この接続構造を排水桝における配管の接続に適用することができなかった。
また、雨水流入管13をシールパッキン10内に挿入する時に摩擦抵抗が大きいので、挿入作業が困難であった。
【0011】
本発明は、このような課題を解決するためになされたもので、接着剤を使用しなくても管状部材を被接続部材の壁部の開口部に簡単な作業で取付けることができ、また、管状部材をシール性よくかつ安定した状態で支持することができる配管の接続装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述の目的を達成するため、本発明は、被接続部材の壁部に形成された開口部に取付けられ、管状部材を前記被接続部材に接続するための配管の接続装置であって、前記開口部にこの接続装置を装着する以前は前方側がすぼまった形状をなし、装着後はこの前方側が拡径される筒状の拡径可能部材と、この拡径可能部材の内周に嵌合し、中心軸線方向に摺動可能な筒状のリング状部材と、前記開口部の周縁部に係止される係止部が前方側の外周部に形成され、前記拡径可能部材の外周に前記中心軸線方向に位置決めされて嵌合するとともに後方側には前記管状部材を嵌合可能にし、前記接続装置の装着前は前方側がすぼまった形状をなしている筒状の弾性部材とを備え、前記開口部に前記接続装置を装着する時には、前記拡径可能部材の外周と後方側の内周に前記弾性部材と前記リング状部材をそれぞれ嵌合させた状態で、前記弾性部材の前記係止部を前記開口部の前記周縁部に係合させ、その後、前記リング状部材を前方に移動させることにより前記拡径可能部材と前記弾性部材の前記各前方側を拡径してこの弾性部材を前記開口部の前記周縁部に密着させるようにした。
【0013】
前記被接続部材は排水桝および大径の配管のいずれか一方で、前記管状部材は小径の配管であり、前記拡径可能部材は、ほぼ円筒状をなす硬質の合成樹脂製で前記前方側には複数の割れ目が前記中心軸線の周囲に形成され、前方端とこの近傍には第1,第2の凸部がそれぞれ形成され、前記リング状部材は円筒状をなす硬質の合成樹脂製であり、前記弾性部材は、ほぼ円筒状をなし弾力性を有するゴムまたは合成樹脂により形成され、前記弾性部材の後方側には伸縮吸収部が形成され締結部材により前記弾性部材を前記管状部材に締め付け可能にし、前記弾性部材の前記係止部は、前記拡径可能部材の前記第1,第2の凸部にそれぞれ係合して前記周縁部の内部側と外部側にそれぞれ係合する第1,第2の係止部からなっているのが好ましい。
【0014】
また、前記リング状部材の外周には少なくとも一つの回り止めガイド部が前記中心軸線と平行な方向に形成され、前記拡径可能部材の内周には、この回り止めガイド部に係合する少なくとも一つの被係合部が前記中心軸線と平行な方向に形成されているのが好ましい。
【0015】
なお、前記接続装置において、前記被接続部材は排水桝であり、前記リング状部材は、前記中心軸線方向に延びた形状を有し前記接続装置の装着後には前記排水桝の内部に突出し、前記リング状部材に接続されたエルボにパイプを下方に向けて接続しかつ水封することにより前記排水桝の内部にトラップを形成してもよい。
【0016】
また、前記弾性部材は、前記後方側に形成された伸縮吸収部より後方部が前記中心軸線方向に延びた形状を有し、前記管状部材は前記伸縮吸収部より後方に装着され、前記弾性部材は前記後方側で締結部材により前記管状部材に締め付けられていてもよい。
【0017】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明における配管の接続装置の実施の形態の一例を図1ないし図8を参照して説明する。
(第1の実施形態)
図1ないし図4は第1の実施形態を示す図で、図1は配管の接続装置の分解組立平面断面図であり、図1の(A),(B)はそれぞれ取付け前,取付け後の状態を示している。図2は図1のII部拡大図、図3は図1(B)の正面断面図、図4は図3のIV線矢視図である。
【0018】
図1ないし図4に示すように、本発明の配管の接続装置20は、被接続部材21の壁部22に形成された開口部23に取付けられ、管状部材24を被接続部材21に接続するために使用される。たとえば、被接続部材は排水桝21または大径の配管であり、管状部材は排水流入管24など小径の配管である。
接続装置20は、宅内桝,公共桝など排水桝と排水流入管または排水流出管の接続のほか、公共の下水道本管(大径の配管)に対する前記排水流出管(小径の配管)の接続、雨水を集水する管路における雨水桝(雨水取付け桝,雨水浸透桝,雨水角桝,泥溜桝などを含む)に対する雨水流入管または雨水流出管の接続、およびその他の配管の接続に適用することができる。
【0019】
被接続部材の壁部22は曲面でも平面でもよいので、被接続部材の全体の形状は、排水桝21のような円筒状のほか、矩形状やその他の異形状であってもよい。また、被接続部材に接続される管状部材の断面は、排水流入管24のような円形が好ましいが、楕円形,長円形,多角形であってもよい。
下記の第1ないし第3の実施形態では、排水桝21,71がほぼ円筒形の公共桝の場合で、この排水桝21,71に断面円形の排水流入管24を接続するのに本発明の接続装置を適用した例を示している。
【0020】
住宅の風呂,流し台,洗面所,トイレなど排水発生源から排出される排水は、排水発生源に接続された排水流入管を流れる。次いで、この排水は、他の排水流入管を流れる排水と合流地点で合流して、排水主管となる排水管に流れる。
合流地点には、宅内桝など小口径の排水桝が排水発生源毎に設置されている。前記排水管は、下流側の公共桝(排水桝21)にとっては排水流入管24となってこの公共桝に接続されている。
【0021】
宅内桝を通って排水流入管24を流れた排水は、宅地内または宅地外に設置された公共桝(排水桝21)を通り、排水流出管を流れて宅地外の大口径の公共の下水道本管に合流する。この下水道本管は、宅地外の道路等の地下深く埋設されている。
排水流入管,宅内桝,排水管(排水流入管24),公共桝(排水桝21),排水流出管および下水道本管等により、地中に埋設されて所定の勾配を有する排水管路が構成されている。
下水道工事に際しては、まず、自治体の行う面整備事業等で、下水道本管から排水流出管および公共桝(排水桝21)までを接続して埋設設置し、その後、宅地内に家屋等を建築する際に、宅地内の排水管路を設置する下水道工事を行う。
【0022】
この排水桝21は、ポリ塩化ビニル,ポリプロピレン,繊維強化プラスチック(FRP)などの硬質の合成樹脂を材料として一体成形されている。排水桝21の上部には掃除口26が取付けられ、下部には排水流出管を接続するための出口側接続口29(図5)が取付けられている。
排水流入管24は出口側接続口29より上部位置に接続されるが、排水流入管24が接続されていない時には、排水桝21の壁部22には開口部23は形成されていない。開口部23は、宅地内の下水道工事で排水流入管24を接続する際に形成される。
【0023】
壁部22の上端部27はソケット状の受口になっており、この受口に掃除管28の下端部が嵌合可能になっている。
掃除管28は排水桝21に上方に向けて接続される。掃除管28の上端には、地面部に位置する蓋受枠が取付けられ、この蓋受枠には、掃除口26を閉塞するための蓋が着脱自在に取付けられる。掃除管28,蓋受枠および蓋により、排水桝21用の掃除口26が構成されている。
【0024】
排水桝21が設置された時には、排水桝21の中心軸線は縦方向(たとえば、ほぼ垂直方向)を向く。縦方向を向く壁部22に形成された開口部23には、排水流入管24を排水桝21に接続するための接続装置20が取付けられる。
接続装置20の中心軸線CLは、排水桝21の中心軸線に対して、横方向(すなわち、ほぼ水平方向)を向いているか、または排水を流れ易くするために下流側が次第に低くなるように若干傾斜している。
接続装置20の入口側接続口25はソケット状の受口になっており、排水流入管24をこの受口に嵌合接続できるようになっている。
【0025】
接続装置20は、筒状の拡径可能部材30と、拡径可能部材30の内周32に嵌合し、中心軸線CL方向に摺動可能な筒状のリング状部材33と、筒状の弾性部材34とを備えている。
拡径可能部材30は、開口部23に接続装置20を装着する以前は前方側(図1の左方向)31がすぼまった形状をなし、装着後は前方側31が拡径されるようになっている。ここで、「拡径」とは部材の直径または半径を拡大させることをいう。
弾性部材34には、壁部22の開口部23の周縁部35に係止される係止部36が前方側(図1の左方向)の外周部に形成されている。
弾性部材34は、拡径可能部材30の外周37に中心軸線CL方向(前後方向)に位置決めされて嵌合するとともに後方側の内周(または、外周)には排水流入管(管状部材)24を嵌合可能にし、接続装置20の装着前は前方側(図1の左方向)38がすぼまった形状をなしている。
【0026】
開口部23に接続装置20を装着する時には、拡径可能部材30の外周37と後方側の内周32に、弾性部材34とリング状部材33をそれぞれ嵌合させた状態で、弾性部材34の係止部36を開口部23の周縁部35に係合させる。
その後、リング状部材33を後方から前方に押し込んで(または、前方に引っ張って)強制的に移動させることにより、拡径可能部材30と弾性部材34の各前方側31,38を拡径して、弾性部材34を開口部23の周縁部35に密着させるようにしている(図1(B)参照)。
【0027】
拡径可能部材30において、前方側31には複数(たとえば、12)の割れ目40が中心軸線CLの周囲に形成され、前方端39とこの近傍には、弾性部材34の係止部36に係合する第1,第2の凸部41,42がそれぞれ形成されている。
拡径可能部材30は、リング状部材33を後方から前方に押し込んで強制的に移動させることにより前方側31を拡径できればよいので、割れ目40を設けないで弾力性を有する材質で形成することにより拡径可能にしてもよい。
【0028】
拡径可能部材30とリング状部材33はほぼ円筒状であり、ポリ塩化ビニル,ABS(アクリロニトリル−ブタジエン−スチレン共重合体),ポリエチレン,ポリプロピレン,繊維強化プラスチック(FRP)などの硬質の合成樹脂を材料として一体成形されている。
これらの材質のうち、ポリエチレンまたはポリプロピレンを使用すれば、リング状部材33が、拡径可能部材30の内周32を低い摩擦抵抗でスムーズに摺動することができる点で好ましい。
【0029】
拡径可能部材30の後方端43は中心軸線CLに直交しており、後方端43からその近傍までの範囲には、割れ目40は形成されておらず一体化している。拡径可能部材30の前方端39は、拡径した状態で、円筒状の壁部22に形成された断面円形の開口部23に対応する形状をなしている。
前方端39に形成された第1の凸部41と、この凸部41の近傍の後方に形成された第2の凸部42は、開口部23の周縁部35に対応する形状をなしてこの周縁部35を前後から挟み込むように形成されている。
第1の凸部41は、拡径可能部材30の外周37より外方に突出しかつ内周32より若干内方にも突出して一体形成されている。
【0030】
拡径可能部材30の内周32には、リング状部材33を前方側31の内部に位置決め保持するための戻りストッパ44が一体形成されている。戻りストッパ44は、内周32に鍵形状に一体的に突出形成され、リング状部材33が後方に移動するのを防止している。
リング状部材33の前方端45は、拡径可能部材30の第1の凸部41に係合可能なようにこの第1の凸部41に対応する形状をなしており、後方端46は中心軸線CLに直交している。
リング状部材33は、拡径可能部材30の後方側の内周32に嵌合した状態から前方に強制的に押し込まれると、戻りストッパ44を乗り越えて、拡径可能部材30の前方側31を拡径しながら移動する。
【0031】
最終的には、リング状部材33の前方端45が第1の凸部41に係止され、後方に移動しないように後方端46が戻りストッパ44により係止される。これにより、リング状部材33は、拡径可能部材30の前方側31の内方に位置決め保持され、拡径可能部材30の前方側31は、リング状部材33により拡径された状態で維持されることになり、拡径可能部材30の全体がほぼ円筒形になる。
その結果、弾性部材34の外周面が開口部23の周縁部35に強く密着するので、この周縁部35が良好にシールされる。
【0032】
リング状部材33の外周47には、一つまたは複数(本実施形態では、一つ)の回り止めガイド部48が中心軸線CLと平行な方向に形成されている。拡径可能部材30の内周32には、回り止めガイド部48に係合する一つまたは複数(本実施形態では、一つ)の被係合部49が、中心軸線CLと平行な方向に形成されている。
回り止めガイド部48が被係合部49に係合するので、リング状部材33は、拡径可能部材30内を非回転状態で中心軸線CLに沿って前方に移動する。これにより、リング状部材33の前方端45が、拡径可能部材33の前方端39の第1の凸部41に全体的に係合して密着することができる。
【0033】
弾性部材34は、弾力性とシール性を有するゴムまたは合成樹脂等により形成されており、たとえば、EPDM(エチレン−プロピレン−ゴム)のような耐老化性,耐酸化性,耐水性に優れたゴムを使用するのが好ましい。
ほぼ円筒形をなしている弾性部材34には段部34aが形成されており、この段部34aより前方側は内径が大きく、後方側は内径が小さくなっている。
弾性部材34の係止部36は、第1,第2の係止部57,58からなっている。第1,第2の係止部57,58は、拡径可能部材30の第1,第2の凸部41,42にそれぞれ係合するとともに、周縁部35を内部側と外部側から挟み込んで挟持する。
拡径可能部材30の後方端43が段部34aに当接し、第1,第2の凸部41,42が第1,第2の係止部57,58にそれぞれ係合することにより、拡径可能部材30は弾性部材34の内部に保持される。
【0034】
弾性部材34の後方側には伸縮吸収部55が形成され、締結部材56により弾性部材34を排水流入管24に締め付け可能にしている。伸縮吸収部55は、断面U形またはV形の円環状をなし、中心軸線CLに直交して一体的に突出形成されている。
伸縮吸収部55の後方には、円環状の凹部59が一体形成されている。締結部材56にはステンレス鋼製のバンドが使用されており、このバンド56を凹部59に巻き付けるようにしている。バンド56は、円環状の帯状の薄板部60とねじ部61を有しており、ねじ部61を回すことにより、薄板部60の直径が変化して弾性部材34を締め付ける。
【0035】
下水道工事に際しては、先ず、面整備事業等で、下水道本管から排水流出管を介して公共桝(排水桝21)までの配管を接続し埋設設置しておく。
その後、宅地内に家屋など建築物が建造される際に、宅地内に排水管路を設置する工事を行う。この工事では、宅地内の排水管路の排水流入管24を排水桝21に接続する。
そのためには、排水桝21および掃除口26の周囲の土砂を掘り起こして、排水桝21を露出させる。この時、接続装置20を取付けて排水流入管24を接続するのに必要な最小限の部分を露出させればよく、排水桝21の全周にわたって土砂を堀り起こす必要はない。
【0036】
次いで、図9(A)に示す場合と同様に、ホールソーを用いて、排水桝21の壁部22に開口部23を形成する。開口部23は、設置現場での排水流入管24の方向,高さ等に対応して所定位置に形成される。
一方、接続装置20においては、リング状部材33を拡径可能部材30の後方側の内周32に嵌合させ、拡径可能部材30の外周37に、弾性部材34の前方側38の内周38aを嵌合させる。
【0037】
第1,第2の凸部41,42を弾性部材34の第1,第2の係止部57,58にそれぞれ係合させ、後方端43を段部34aに係合させれば、拡径可能部材30は弾性部材34の内部前方に位置決め保持される。また、バンド56を弾性部材34の凹部59内に緩く嵌めておく。
こうして、装着前の接続装置20は、拡径可能部材30,リング状部材33,弾性部材34,バンド56が組み立てられた状態で準備されている。
この時、拡径可能部材30は、割れ目40が閉じて前方側31がすぼまった形状をなしており、弾性部材34の前方側38も、拡径可能部材30の形状に対応してすぼまった形状をなしている。第1の凸部41,第1の係止部57の外径は、開口部23の内径より小さいので、接続装置20の前方側は開口部23の内部に装着可能である。
【0038】
拡径可能部材30は、予め閉じた割れ目40を形成してすぼまった形状に成形されている。
なお、別の例として、開いた状態の複数の割れ目40を前方側31に形成し、拡径可能部材30全体が中心軸線CLと平行な円筒形になるように予め成形しておき、拡径可能部材30を弾性部材34内に装着すると、弾性部材34の弾性力により割れ目40が閉じて、弾性部材34の前方側38と拡径可能部材30の前方側31がすぼまった形状になるようにしてもよい。
【0039】
各構成部材30,33,34,56が組み込まれた接続装置20を中心軸線CLの前方側に移動させて、排水桝21の開口部23に緩く装着する。開口部23の周縁部35の内側に、第1の係止部57と第1の凸部41を係合させ、周縁部35の外側に、第2の係止部58と第2の凸部42を係合させる。
次いで、排水流入管24を弾性部材34の後方から内部に挿入し、リング状部材33の後方端46に押し当てて前方に強制的に移動させれば、リング状部材33は、拡径可能部材30の内周32を小さな摩擦抵抗でスムーズに移動する。
リング状部材33が最も前方に移動した状態では、リング状部材33の前方端45と後方端46が、拡径可能部材30の第1の凸部41と戻りストッパ44にそれぞれ係止されて位置決め保持される。リング状部材33は、回り止めガイド部48と被係合部49により案内されて回り止めがなされているので、回転して位置ずれを起こすことはない。
【0040】
リング状部材33が拡径可能部材30の前方側31に移動したので、拡径可能部材30と弾性部材34の各前方側31,38は、リング状部材33により押し広げられて拡径する。
これにより、弾性部材34の係止部36が、開口部23の周縁部35の全周にわたって強く密着するのでこの密着部が良好にシールされる。
【0041】
こうして、接続装置20と排水流入管24を排水桝21に取付けた後、バンド56のねじ部61をねじ込んで締め付けると、弾性部材34は排水流入管24に密着してシールされる。
上述のように、排水流入管24でリング状部材33を押して前方に移動させれば、排水桝21に対する接続装置20の取付け作業と、接続装置20に対する排水流入管24の接続作業を同時にできるので、配管工事が簡単になる。
なお、リング状部材33を前方に移動させるには、後方端46を治具で押し込んでもよい。
【0042】
こうして、接続装置20を介して排水流入管24を排水桝21に接続し、宅地内の排水管路の接続作業が完了した後、土砂を埋め戻して排水管路を埋設する。この排水管路において、住宅の流し台等から排出された排水は、自然流下で排水流入管,宅内桝,排水流入管24(排水管)を流れ、公共桝(排水桝21)を通って排水流出管から下水道本管に流れ込む。
【0043】
接続装置20に伸縮吸収部55が設けられているので、地震やその他の振動等による力が排水桝21と排水流入管24との接続部にかかっても、伸縮吸収部55が変形してこの力を吸収するので、排水桝21や排水流入管24等の破損を防止することができる。
接続装置20に装着された排水流入管24はリング状部材33に押し当てられるので、拡径可能部材30の割れ目40は、リング状部材33と排水流入管24により覆われて排水には接触しない。したがって、割れ目40が排水の流れの抵抗になることはない。

(第2の実施形態)
図5は本発明の第2の実施形態にかかる接続装置70を排水桝71に取付けた状態を示す正面断面図、図6は図5のVI部拡大断面図である。
なお、以下の各実施形態において、他の実施形態と同一または相当部分には同一符号を付してその説明を省略し、異なる部分のみ説明する。
【0045】
図5および図6に示すように、被接続部材としての排水桝71は防臭用のトラップ機能を有している。
拡径可能部材30内に嵌合するリング状部材72は、中心軸線CL方向に延びた形状を有している。リング状部材72は、接続装置70を排水桝71の壁部22の開口部23に装着した後には、排水桝71の内部に突出している。リング状部材72の前方端73は、中心軸線CLに直交する形状を有している。
【0046】
この接続装置70では、リング状部材72の前方端73に接続されたエルボ74にパイプ75を下方に向けて接続しかつ水封することにより、排水桝71の内部にトラップ76を形成している。
エルボ74は90度エルボであり、パイプ75はエルボ74の出口側に装着されている。排水桝71の内部には常に排水77が貯留されており、パイプ75の出口部は排水77の水面78より下方に位置しているので、トラップ76が形成される。
【0047】
拡径可能部材30の前方端39に設けられた第1の凸部41には、他のストッパ79が半径方向内方に突出して形成されている。リング状部材72の外周80には凹部81が形成されており、他のストッパ79が凹部81に係合可能になっている。
したがって、接続装置70を排水桝71に装着する時に、リング状部材72を押し込んで後方から強制的に前方に移動させれば、リング状部材72の後方端46が戻りストッパ44に係止され、凹部81が、拡径可能部材30の第1の凸部41の他のストッパ79に係止される。
これにより、リング状部材72は前後方向に動かないように位置決め保持されるので、エルボ74,パイプ75がリング状部材72によりしっかりと支持される。
【0048】
(第3の実施形態)
図7は、本発明の第3の実施形態にかかる接続装置90を排水桝21に取付けた状態を示す正面断面図、図8はその動作を示す正面断面図である。
図7に示す接続装置90では、弾性部材91は、後方側に形成された伸縮吸収部92より後方部93が中心軸線CL方向に延びた形状を有し、排水流入管24は伸縮吸収部92より後方に装着されている。弾性部材91は、後方部93でバンド56により排水流入管24に締め付けられる。
【0049】
排水桝21と排水流入管24は弾性部材91を介して連結され、弾性部材91は伸縮吸収部92で大きく変形できるようになっている。また、伸縮吸収部92およびその近傍は、配管の一部を構成しておりまた弾性変形に対する強度を大きくするために肉厚が厚くなっている。
後方部93には段部94が形成され、排水流入管24はこの段部94に当接して位置決めされるようになっている。
【0050】
図8に示すように、弾性変形可能な伸縮吸収部92により、排水流入管24を矢印Bに示すように比較的広い範囲で動かすことができるので、排水桝21に対する排水流入管24の位置や角度の自由度が大きくなるとともに、耐震性も向上する。
したがって、地震や振動等があっても、排水桝21と排水流入管24の接続部が破損するのを防止することができる。また、配管工事で開口部23をそれほど高精度に形成しなくても、排水流入管24を接続装置90に容易に接続することができ、配管工事が簡略化される。
【0051】
本発明の接続装置20,70,90では、接着剤を使用しないので従来の接着作業や針金を巻き付ける作業が不要になり、排水流入管24を排水桝21,71の壁部22の開口部23に簡単な作業で取付けることができる。
また、リング状部材33,72により、拡径可能部材30を介して弾性部材34,91を開口部23の周縁部35に強制的に押し付けて密着させているので、接続装置は排水桝21,71にしっかりと固定される。
したがって、図10に示すようなリング状のシールパッキンを使用する従来技術と比較して、本発明の接続装置は、排水流入管24をシール性よくかつ安定した状態で支持することができ、排水桝および雨水桝などにおける配管の接続に好適である。
特に、排水桝がポリプロピレン製などの場合には、十分な接着強度を発揮する接着剤の選定が難しいが、本発明では接着剤を使用しないので、このような材質の排水桝に排水流入管を容易に接続することができる。
【0052】
本発明では、接続装置の構成部材を組み立てた状態で開口部23に装着し、リング状部材33,72を強制的に前方に移動させるというワンタッチの簡単な作業で接続装置を排水桝に取付けることができる。
図9に示す従来技術では針金を排水桝の周囲に巻き付けていたので、排水桝の全周を堀り起こす必要があったが、本発明では、開口部の周りの最小限の部分を掘り起こせばよいので、掘り起こし作業が簡単になる。
なお、各図中同一符号は同一または相当部分を示す。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to a pipe connecting device for connecting a tubular member to an opening formed in a wall portion of a connected member to connect the tubular member to the connected member, for example, for connecting a drain inflow pipe to a drainage basin. It is related with the connection apparatus.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Wastewater discharged from the baths, kitchen sinks, washrooms, toilets, etc. in the housing flowed through drainage inflow pipes buried in the ground in the residential land, and joined together at a residential tub installed at the confluence of multiple flows Later, it flows through the drain pipe.
Then, the wastewater flows through a public dredger installed inside or outside the housing lot and a drainage outflow pipe connected to the public dredger, and then discharged to a public sewer main outside the housing lot.
[0003]
The house basket is a basket installed in a residential land and having an invert portion with various structures, and a trap may be provided as necessary. The public dredging is a final dredging that is installed inside or outside the housing lot and flows the drainage water inside the housing lot into the sewer main outside the housing lot.
Drainage basins called public basins and installation basins are also a type of premises basin and are generally called drainage basins. These drainage basins are made of hard synthetic resin such as polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride. It is formed as a material.
A cleaning port is attached to the top of a drainage basin such as a residential tub or a public tub, and the upper end of the cleaning port is closed by a lid. The drainage pipes composed of the drainage pipes, residential traps, drainage pipes, public pipes, drainage outlet pipes, and public sewer mains do not increase the amount of drainage due to intrusion of so-called unknown water such as rainwater and groundwater. As a whole, it has a sealed structure.
[0004]
In general, in sewerage works such as so-called surface maintenance projects carried out by local governments, a large-diameter public sewer main that becomes the main drainage is laid first in the ground such as roads, and it can be applied inside or outside the residential land. Install a public dredging for residential land and connect the drainage outlet pipe branched from the sewer main to this public dredging.
[0005]
In many cases, the drainage basin is integrally provided with a socket (or outlet) for the inlet side connection port on the side wall, but a drainage basin in which the inlet side connection port is not provided in advance is also used.
When using the latter type of drainage basin as a public basin, bury it in a state without providing a connection port on the entrance side, and connect the drainage inflow pipe to this basin during plumbing for drainage in the residential area. Will wait.
[0006]
FIG. 9 is an explanatory view showing a conventional technique for connecting a drainage inflow pipe (drainage pipe) when using a drainage basin without an opening on the inlet side in advance as a public basin.
The drainage basin 1 shown in FIG. 9 (A) is installed in the residential land, and the drainage outflow pipe 3 connected to the outlet side connection port 2 of the drainage basin 1 is connected from the residential land to the public sewer main outside the residential land. It is connected. In the surface maintenance business or the like, the drainage basin 1 is buried in the ground without forming the opening 8.
[0007]
In the construction work of the drainage pipe in the residential area, the resident side digs up and exposes the periphery of the drainage basin 1, attaches the inlet side connection port 5 to the side wall 4 of the drainage basin 1, and then connects the drainage inflow pipe 6. Do.
In this case, the connection direction of the drainage inflow pipe 6 with respect to the drainage basin 1 is often different for each residential land depending on the shape and layout of the building in the residential land, the layout of the water supply and the gas pipe, and the like. Therefore, in the connection work, the opening 8 is formed in the side wall 4 by the hole saw 7 in accordance with the connection direction and the connection position of the drainage inflow pipe 6 (FIG. 9A).
Next, the inlet side connection port 5 shown in FIG. 9B is fixed to the side wall 4 with an adhesive in accordance with the position of the opening 8. The inlet side connection port 5 is fastened and fixed with a wire 9 or the like so that the inlet side connection port 5 does not move until the adhesive is cured and exhibits adhesive strength (FIG. 9C).
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Thus, conventionally, since the inlet side connection port 5 is fixed to the side wall 4 with an adhesive, the bonding work and the work of winding the wire 9 are complicated and take a long time.
In addition, since the side wall 4 and the inlet side connection port 5 are integrated, it is difficult to connect the drainage inflow tube 6 if there is a deviation in the position or direction of the inlet side connection port 5 and the drainage inflow tube 6. When the inflow pipe 6 is vibrated due to an earthquake after the installation work of the inflow pipe 6, there is a possibility that the connecting portion of the pipe is damaged.
Further, in order to wind the wire 9 around the entire circumference of the side wall 4, it is necessary to dig up the earth and sand around the drainage basin 1 over the entire circumference, and this digging work is troublesome.
[0009]
FIG. 10 is a partial perspective view showing another conventional technique for connecting the rainwater inflow pipe 13 to the rainwater tank 11.
In the technique shown in FIG. 10, a ring-shaped rubber seal packing 10 is attached to an opening formed in the side wall 12 of the rainwater tank 11. The rainwater inflow pipe 13 is inserted into the seal packing 10 against the elastic force of rubber.
[0010]
In this case, since the rainwater inflow pipe 13 is not positioned and held with respect to the seal packing 10, it is unstable and the sealing performance is not sufficient, and there is a possibility of causing water leakage from the seal packing 10. Therefore, this connection structure could not be applied to the connection of piping in the drainage basin.
Further, since the frictional resistance is large when the rainwater inflow pipe 13 is inserted into the seal packing 10, the insertion operation is difficult.
[0011]
The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and the tubular member can be attached to the opening of the wall portion of the connected member by a simple operation without using an adhesive. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pipe connecting device capable of supporting a tubular member with a good sealing property and in a stable state.

Drainage discharged from drainage sources such as baths, sinks, washrooms and toilets in houses flows through drainage inflow pipes connected to the drainage source. Subsequently, this waste water merges with the waste water flowing through the other waste water inflow pipes at the joining point, and flows to the drain pipe that becomes the drain main pipe.
At the junction, a small-diameter drainage basin such as a house pit is installed for each drainage source. The drain pipe serves as a drain inflow pipe 24 for the downstream public pit (drain pit 21) and is connected to the public pit.
[0021]
The wastewater that has flowed through the drainage inflow pipe 24 through the residential ridge passes through the public pit (drainage basin 21) installed in or outside the residential land, flows through the drainage outflow pipe, and has a large-diameter public sewer book outside the residential land. Join the tube. This sewer main is buried deep underground such as roads outside the residential land.
Drainage pipes with a predetermined gradient that are buried in the ground are composed of drainage inflow pipes, residential pits, drainage pipes (drainage inflow pipes 24), public dredging (drainage pits 21), drainage outflow pipes, and sewer mains. Has been.
In the sewerage construction, first, in the area maintenance project, etc. conducted by the local government, the sewage main is connected to the drainage outflow pipe and the public dredging (drainage 21), and then the house is built in the residential land. At the same time, sewerage work will be done to install drainage pipes in the residential land.
[0022]
The drainage basin 21 is integrally formed of a hard synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, or fiber reinforced plastic (FRP). A cleaning port 26 is attached to the upper part of the drainage basin 21, and an outlet side connection port 29 (FIG. 5) for connecting a drainage outflow pipe is attached to the lower part.
The drainage inflow pipe 24 is connected to a position above the outlet side connection port 29, but when the drainage inflow pipe 24 is not connected, the opening portion 23 is not formed in the wall portion 22 of the drainage basin 21. The opening 23 is formed when the drainage inflow pipe 24 is connected in the sewer construction in the residential land.
[0023]
The upper end portion 27 of the wall portion 22 is a socket-shaped receiving port, and the lower end portion of the cleaning tube 28 can be fitted into the receiving port.
The cleaning tube 28 is connected to the drainage basin 21 upward. A lid receiving frame located on the ground portion is attached to the upper end of the cleaning tube 28, and a lid for closing the cleaning port 26 is detachably attached to the lid receiving frame. A cleaning port 26 for the drainage basin 21 is configured by the cleaning tube 28, the lid receiving frame and the lid.
[0024]
When the drainage basin 21 is installed, the central axis of the drainage basin 21 faces the vertical direction (for example, a substantially vertical direction). A connecting device 20 for connecting the drainage inflow pipe 24 to the drainage basin 21 is attached to the opening 23 formed in the wall portion 22 facing in the vertical direction.
The central axis CL of the connecting device 20 is oriented in the lateral direction (that is, substantially horizontal direction) with respect to the central axis of the drainage basin 21 or is slightly inclined so that the downstream side gradually becomes lower in order to facilitate drainage. doing.
The inlet side connection port 25 of the connection device 20 is a socket-shaped receiving port, and the drainage inflow pipe 24 can be fitted and connected to the receiving port.
[0025]
The connecting device 20 includes a tubular diameter-expandable member 30, a tubular ring-shaped member 33 that is fitted to the inner periphery 32 of the diameter-expandable member 30 and is slidable in the direction of the central axis CL, and a tubular shape And an elastic member 34.
The diameter-expandable member 30 has a shape in which the front side (left direction in FIG. 1) 31 is tapered before the connection device 20 is mounted in the opening 23, and the front side 31 is expanded in diameter after mounting. It has become. Here, “expanding” means increasing the diameter or radius of the member.
In the elastic member 34, a locking portion 36 that is locked to the peripheral edge 35 of the opening 23 of the wall portion 22 is formed on the outer peripheral portion on the front side (left direction in FIG. 1).
The elastic member 34 is positioned and fitted to the outer periphery 37 of the expandable member 30 in the direction of the central axis CL (front-rear direction), and the drain inflow pipe (tubular member) 24 is disposed on the rear inner periphery (or outer periphery). And the front side (left direction in FIG. 1) 38 is in a sag shape before the connection device 20 is mounted.
[0026]
When the connecting device 20 is attached to the opening 23, the elastic member 34 and the ring-shaped member 33 are fitted to the outer periphery 37 and the rear inner periphery 32 of the diameter-expandable member 30, respectively. The locking portion 36 is engaged with the peripheral edge portion 35 of the opening 23.
After that, the ring-shaped member 33 is pushed forward from the rear (or pulled forward) to forcibly move, thereby expanding the diameters of the front sides 31 and 38 of the diameter-expandable member 30 and the elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 is brought into close contact with the peripheral edge 35 of the opening 23 (see FIG. 1B).
[0027]
In the diameter-expandable member 30, a plurality of (for example, 12) cracks 40 are formed around the central axis CL on the front side 31, and the front end 39 and the vicinity thereof are engaged with the engaging portion 36 of the elastic member 34. 1st and 2nd convex parts 41 and 42 to join are formed, respectively.
The diameter-expandable member 30 only needs to be able to increase the diameter of the front side 31 by pushing the ring-shaped member 33 forward from the rear side and forcibly moving it, so that the diameter-expandable member 30 is formed of a material having elasticity without providing the crack 40. It may be possible to expand the diameter.
[0028]
The expandable member 30 and the ring-shaped member 33 are substantially cylindrical and are made of a hard synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer), polyethylene, polypropylene, fiber reinforced plastic (FRP), or the like. It is integrally molded as a material.
Among these materials, if polyethylene or polypropylene is used, the ring-shaped member 33 is preferable in that the inner periphery 32 of the diameter expandable member 30 can smoothly slide with a low frictional resistance.
[0029]
The rear end 43 of the expandable member 30 is orthogonal to the central axis CL, and the crack 40 is not formed in the range from the rear end 43 to the vicinity thereof, and is integrated. The front end 39 of the expandable member 30 has a shape corresponding to the opening 23 having a circular cross section formed in the cylindrical wall portion 22 in the expanded state.
The first convex portion 41 formed at the front end 39 and the second convex portion 42 formed at the rear in the vicinity of the convex portion 41 have a shape corresponding to the peripheral edge portion 35 of the opening 23, and The peripheral edge portion 35 is formed so as to be sandwiched from the front and rear.
The first convex portion 41 is integrally formed so as to protrude outward from the outer periphery 37 of the diameter-expandable member 30 and slightly inward from the inner periphery 32.
[0030]
A return stopper 44 for positioning and holding the ring-shaped member 33 inside the front side 31 is integrally formed on the inner periphery 32 of the diameter expandable member 30. The return stopper 44 is integrally formed in a key shape on the inner periphery 32 to prevent the ring-shaped member 33 from moving backward.
The front end 45 of the ring-shaped member 33 has a shape corresponding to the first convex portion 41 so as to be engageable with the first convex portion 41 of the diameter-expandable member 30, and the rear end 46 is the center. It is orthogonal to the axis CL.
When the ring-shaped member 33 is forcibly pushed forward from the state where it is fitted to the inner periphery 32 on the rear side of the diameter-expandable member 30, the ring-shaped member 33 gets over the return stopper 44 and moves over the front side 31 of the diameter-expandable member 30. Move while expanding diameter.
[0031]
Finally, the front end 45 of the ring-shaped member 33 is locked to the first convex portion 41, and the rear end 46 is locked by the return stopper 44 so as not to move backward. Accordingly, the ring-shaped member 33 is positioned and held inward of the front side 31 of the diameter-expandable member 30, and the front side 31 of the diameter-expandable member 30 is maintained in a state where the diameter is expanded by the ring-shaped member 33. Thus, the entire diameter-expandable member 30 is substantially cylindrical.
As a result, since the outer peripheral surface of the elastic member 34 is in close contact with the peripheral edge 35 of the opening 23, the peripheral edge 35 is well sealed.
[0032]
On the outer periphery 47 of the ring-shaped member 33, one or a plurality (in this embodiment, one) detent guide portion 48 is formed in a direction parallel to the central axis CL. On the inner periphery 32 of the expandable member 30, one or a plurality of (one in this embodiment) engaged portions 49 that engage with the detent guide portion 48 are arranged in a direction parallel to the central axis CL. Is formed.
Since the rotation prevention guide part 48 engages with the engaged part 49, the ring-shaped member 33 moves forward along the center axis CL in a non-rotating state in the diameter-expandable member 30. As a result, the front end 45 of the ring-shaped member 33 can be engaged and brought into close contact with the first convex portion 41 of the front end 39 of the diameter-expandable member 33 as a whole.
[0033]
The elastic member 34 is made of rubber having elasticity and sealing properties, synthetic resin, or the like. For example, rubber excellent in aging resistance, oxidation resistance, and water resistance, such as EPDM (ethylene-propylene-rubber). Is preferably used.
The elastic member 34 having a substantially cylindrical shape is formed with a step portion 34a. The inner diameter is larger on the front side than the step portion 34a, and the inner diameter is smaller on the rear side.
The locking portion 36 of the elastic member 34 includes first and second locking portions 57 and 58. The first and second locking portions 57 and 58 engage with the first and second convex portions 41 and 42 of the diameter-expandable member 30, respectively, and sandwich the peripheral edge portion 35 from the inner side and the outer side. Hold it.
The rear end 43 of the diameter-expandable member 30 abuts on the step portion 34a, and the first and second convex portions 41 and 42 engage with the first and second locking portions 57 and 58, respectively. The diameter-possible member 30 is held inside the elastic member 34.
[0034]
An elastic absorption part 55 is formed on the rear side of the elastic member 34, and the elastic member 34 can be fastened to the drainage inflow pipe 24 by a fastening member 56. The expansion / contraction absorbing portion 55 has an annular shape having a U-shaped cross section or a V-shaped cross section, and is integrally formed so as to protrude perpendicularly to the central axis CL.
An annular recess 59 is integrally formed behind the expansion / contraction absorbing portion 55. A stainless steel band is used for the fastening member 56, and the band 56 is wound around the recess 59.

In the sewerage construction, first, in the surface improvement project, etc., the pipe from the sewer main to the public dredging (drainage 21) is connected and buried through the drainage outflow pipe.
After that, when a building such as a house is built in the residential land, a construction for installing a drain pipe in the residential land is performed. In this construction, the drainage inflow pipe 24 of the drainage pipe in the residential land is connected to the drainage basin 21.
For that purpose, the drainage basin 21 and the cleaning port 26 are dug up to expose the drainage basin 21. At this time, it is only necessary to attach the connecting device 20 to expose the minimum part necessary for connecting the drainage inflow pipe 24, and it is not necessary to dig up the earth and sand around the entire circumference of the drainage basin 21.
[0036]
Next, as in the case shown in FIG. 9A, an opening 23 is formed in the wall portion 22 of the drainage basin 21 using a hole saw. The opening 23 is formed at a predetermined position corresponding to the direction and height of the drainage inflow pipe 24 at the installation site.
On the other hand, in the connection device 20, the ring-shaped member 33 is fitted to the inner periphery 32 on the rear side of the diameter-expandable member 30, and the inner periphery of the front side 38 of the elastic member 34 is connected to the outer periphery 37 of the diameter-expandable member 30. 38a is fitted.
[0037]
If the first and second convex portions 41 and 42 are engaged with the first and second engaging portions 57 and 58 of the elastic member 34 respectively, and the rear end 43 is engaged with the step portion 34a, the diameter is increased. The possible member 30 is positioned and held in front of the elastic member 34. Further, the band 56 is loosely fitted in the recess 59 of the elastic member 34.
In this way, the connecting device 20 before mounting is prepared in a state in which the diameter-expandable member 30, the ring-shaped member 33, the elastic member 34, and the band 56 are assembled.
At this time, the diameter-expandable member 30 has a shape in which the crack 40 is closed and the front side 31 is recessed, and the front side 38 of the elastic member 34 also corresponds to the shape of the diameter-expandable member 30. It has a sunk shape. Since the outer diameters of the first convex portion 41 and the first locking portion 57 are smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 23, the front side of the connecting device 20 can be mounted inside the opening 23.
[0038]
The diameter-expandable member 30 is formed into a constricted shape by forming a closed crack 40 in advance.
As another example, a plurality of open cracks 40 are formed on the front side 31, and the entire diameter expandable member 30 is formed in advance so as to be in a cylindrical shape parallel to the central axis CL. When the possible member 30 is mounted in the elastic member 34, the crack 40 is closed by the elastic force of the elastic member 34, and the front side 38 of the elastic member 34 and the front side 31 of the diameter-expandable member 30 become concave. You may do it.
[0039]
The connecting device 20 in which the constituent members 30, 33, 34, and 56 are assembled is moved to the front side of the central axis CL and is loosely attached to the opening 23 of the drainage basin 21. The first engaging portion 57 and the first convex portion 41 are engaged with the inner side of the peripheral portion 35 of the opening 23, and the second engaging portion 58 and the second convex portion are provided on the outer side of the peripheral portion 35. 42 is engaged.
Next, if the drainage inflow pipe 24 is inserted into the elastic member 34 from the rear side and pressed against the rear end 46 of the ring-shaped member 33 and forcibly moved forward, the ring-shaped member 33 can be expanded. The inner periphery 32 of 30 is smoothly moved with a small frictional resistance.
In the state in which the ring-shaped member 33 has moved most forward, the front end 45 and the rear end 46 of the ring-shaped member 33 are respectively locked by the first convex portion 41 and the return stopper 44 of the diameter-expandable member 30. Retained. Since the ring-shaped member 33 is guided by the anti-rotation guide portion 48 and the engaged portion 49 and is prevented from rotating, the ring-shaped member 33 does not rotate and cause a positional shift.
[0040]
Since the ring-shaped member 33 has moved to the front side 31 of the diameter-expandable member 30, the diameter-expandable member 30 and the front sides 31, 38 of the elastic member 34 are pushed and expanded by the ring-shaped member 33.
Thereby, since the latching | locking part 36 of the elastic member 34 adheres strongly over the perimeter of the peripheral part 35 of the opening part 23, this contact part is sealed favorably.
[0041]
Thus, after attaching the connecting device 20 and the drainage inflow pipe 24 to the drainage basin 21, when the screw portion 61 of the band 56 is screwed and tightened, the elastic member 34 is in close contact with the drainage inflow pipe 24 and sealed.
As described above, if the ring-shaped member 33 is pushed and moved forward by the drainage inflow pipe 24, the attachment work of the connection device 20 to the drainage basin 21 and the connection work of the drainage inflow pipe 24 to the connection device 20 can be performed simultaneously. , Piping work becomes easy.
In order to move the ring-shaped member 33 forward, the rear end 46 may be pushed in with a jig.
[0042]
Thus, after the drainage inflow pipe 24 is connected to the drainage basin 21 through the connecting device 20 and the connection work of the drainage pipe in the residential land is completed, the earth and sand are backfilled to bury the drainage pipe. In this drainage pipe, the drainage discharged from the sink of the house, etc. flows through the drainage inflow pipe, the house basin, the drainage inflow pipe 24 (drainage pipe) under the natural flow, and flows out through the public pole (drainage basin 21). It flows into the sewer main from the pipe.
[0043]
Since the expansion / contraction absorbing portion 55 is provided in the connecting device 20, even if a force due to an earthquake or other vibration is applied to the connecting portion between the drainage basin 21 and the drainage inflow pipe 24, the expansion / contraction absorbing portion 55 is deformed. Since the force is absorbed, the drainage basin 21 and the drainage inflow pipe 24 can be prevented from being damaged.
Since the drainage inflow pipe 24 attached to the connecting device 20 is pressed against the ring-shaped member 33, the crack 40 of the diameter expandable member 30 is covered with the ring-shaped member 33 and the drainage inflow pipe 24 and does not contact the drainage. . Therefore, the crack 40 does not become a resistance of the flow of drainage.
[0044]
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 is a front sectional view showing a state in which the connecting device 70 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is attached to the drainage basin 71, and FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view of the VI part of FIG.

[0045]
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the drainage 71 as a connected member has a deodorizing trap function.
The ring-shaped member 72 fitted into the expandable member 30 has a shape extending in the central axis CL direction. The ring-shaped member 72 protrudes into the drainage basin 71 after the connection device 70 is attached to the opening 23 of the wall 22 of the drainage basin 71. The front end 73 of the ring-shaped member 72 has a shape orthogonal to the central axis CL.
[0046]
In this connection device 70, the trap 75 is formed inside the drainage basin 71 by connecting the pipe 75 downward to the elbow 74 connected to the front end 73 of the ring-shaped member 72 and sealing it with water. .
The elbow 74 is a 90 degree elbow, and the pipe 75 is attached to the outlet side of the elbow 74. Since the drainage 77 is always stored inside the drainage basin 71 and the outlet portion of the pipe 75 is located below the water surface 78 of the drainage 77, a trap 76 is formed.
[0047]
Another stopper 79 is formed on the first convex portion 41 provided at the front end 39 of the diameter expandable member 30 so as to protrude radially inward. A recess 81 is formed on the outer periphery 80 of the ring-shaped member 72, and another stopper 79 can be engaged with the recess 81.
Therefore, when the connecting device 70 is attached to the drainage basin 71, if the ring-shaped member 72 is pushed in and forced to move forward from the rear, the rear end 46 of the ring-shaped member 72 is locked to the return stopper 44, The concave portion 81 is locked to another stopper 79 of the first convex portion 41 of the diameter expandable member 30.
As a result, the ring-shaped member 72 is positioned and held so as not to move in the front-rear direction, so that the elbow 74 and the pipe 75 are firmly supported by the ring-shaped member 72.
[0048]
(Third embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a front sectional view showing a state in which the connecting device 90 according to the third embodiment of the present invention is attached to the drainage basin 21, and FIG. 8 is a front sectional view showing the operation thereof.
In the connecting device 90 shown in FIG. 7, the elastic member 91 has a shape in which the rear portion 93 extends in the direction of the central axis CL from the expansion / contraction absorption portion 92 formed on the rear side, and the drainage inflow pipe 24 has the expansion / contraction absorption portion 92. It is mounted more rearward. The elastic member 91 is fastened to the drainage inflow pipe 24 by the band 56 at the rear portion 93.
[0049]
The drainage basin 21 and the drainage inflow pipe 24 are connected via an elastic member 91, and the elastic member 91 can be largely deformed by the expansion / contraction absorbing portion 92. Further, the expansion / contraction absorbing portion 92 and the vicinity thereof constitute a part of the pipe, and the wall thickness is increased in order to increase the strength against elastic deformation.
A step portion 94 is formed in the rear portion 93, and the drainage inflow pipe 24 is positioned in contact with the step portion 94.
[0050]
As shown in FIG. 8, since the drainage inflow pipe 24 can be moved in a relatively wide range as indicated by an arrow B by the elastically deformable stretchable absorbing portion 92, the position of the drainage inflow pipe 24 relative to the drainage basin 21 The degree of freedom of angle is increased and the earthquake resistance is improved.
Therefore, even if there is an earthquake or vibration, it is possible to prevent the connection portion between the drainage basin 21 and the drainage inflow pipe 24 from being damaged. Further, the drainage inflow pipe 24 can be easily connected to the connection device 90 without simplifying the opening 23 by piping work, and the piping work is simplified.
[0051]
In the connection devices 20, 70, 90 of the present invention, since no adhesive is used, the conventional bonding work and the work of winding a wire become unnecessary, and the drain inflow pipe 24 is connected to the opening 23 of the wall 22 of the drainage basin 21, 71. Can be installed in a simple operation.
In addition, since the elastic members 34 and 91 are forcibly pressed and adhered to the peripheral edge 35 of the opening 23 via the diameter-expandable member 30 by the ring-shaped members 33 and 72, It is firmly fixed to 71.
Therefore, compared with the prior art using a ring-shaped seal packing as shown in FIG. 10, the connection device of the present invention can support the drainage inflow pipe 24 in a stable and stable state. Suitable for connecting pipes in dredging and rainwater dredging.
In particular, when the drainage is made of polypropylene or the like, it is difficult to select an adhesive that exhibits sufficient adhesive strength.However, since the adhesive is not used in the present invention, a drainage inflow pipe is attached to such a drainage. Can be connected easily.
[0052]
In the present invention, the connecting device is attached to the drainage basin by a simple one-touch operation in which the components of the connecting device are assembled and attached to the opening 23 and the ring-shaped members 33 and 72 are forcibly moved forward. Can do.
In the prior art shown in FIG. 9, since the wire was wound around the drainage basin, it was necessary to dig up the entire circumference of the drainage basin. However, in the present invention, if the minimum part around the opening is dug up, It ’s good, so it ’s easier to dig.
In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts.
[0053]
