Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ガス配管や水道配管用のポリエチレン管等の熱可塑性プラスチック管を電気加熱融着によって接合するための電気融着管継手に関する。特には、配管の埋設工事の際に、地面を開削せずに、横方向のボーリング穴を掘ってその中に管を引き込んで配管を敷設する非開削工法用に適した電気融着管継手に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、小中径(25〜300mm)のガス配管としてポリエチレン管が多用されるようになってきた。ポリエチレン管は、以前は主力であった鋼管と比べて、耐食性が高く、軽く、柔軟であるといった特長が高く評価されている。さらに、このポリエチレン管の柔軟性に着目して、地中に掘った横穴(ボーリング穴)中にポリエチレン管をケーブルのような感じで引き回すことにより配管を敷設する非開削工法も採用されている。道路を長々と開削して配管を行うのは、道路交通に対する障害となり、また工事も大がかりとなるため、可能な限り非開削工法で工事を行うことが望まれている。
【0003】
ガス用ポリエチレン管の現状における一般的供給形態は、呼び径25〜75Aでは長さ90〜30mのコイル管として、呼び径100A以上は長さ5.5又は9mの直管として、工事現場に持ち込まれる。したがって、これより長い距離にわたる配管を敷設する場合には(ほとんどがそうである)、ポリエチレン管同士をつなぐ必要がある。ここで、ポリエチレン管の接続には、一般的に融着法が用いられる。
【0004】
図2は、一般的なポリエチレン管の突き合せ接続に使用されるソケット型の電気融着管継手及び、それを用いたポリエチレン管の接続作業の状態を示す断面図である。電気融着管継手101は全体として筒状をしており、その内部空間は、ポリエチレン管103の端部が挿入される接続孔115となっている。接続孔115の内面には、同面に沿って、電熱部材としてのコイル状の電熱線119が、管継手本体に埋設されている。電熱線119の内径部と接続孔115内面との間には、0.1mmオーダーの厚さの樹脂層(本体の一部)が存在する。電熱線119は、管継手外面に設けられている端子123に接続されており、同端子につないだ接続端子から給電される。
【0005】
接続孔115の奥には、ストッパー125が接続孔内面に突出するように設けられており、このストッパー125に挿入されたポリエチレン管103の端面が当接して同管が位置決めされる。接続孔115の入口付近の内面には、電熱線119が埋設されていない領域(コールドゾーン114)が存在する。この部分は、電気融着時にもほとんど温度が上昇せず融けることがない。ホットゾーンで融けた樹脂は、このコールドゾーンに流れてきて固まり、管継手外部には出ないようになっている。
【0006】
しかし、図2の従来の電気融着管継手101は、ポリエチレン管103の外表面から外側に相当程度突出しており、非開削工法で配管をボーリング穴に引き込む際の抵抗になる。そのため、この従来の電気融着管継手は非開削工法の配管の接続用には使用しえない。具体的には、呼び径25Aのポリエチレン管の外径34mmに対してその電気融着管継手の外径は45mmであり、もしこの電気融着管継手を通すようボーリングの穴を大きくするとすれば、ボーリング穴の断面積が2倍近くに広がり、工事費用が高くなるからである。なお、電気融着管継手101のターミナル123の部分は、管の接続後に削除するとしての話である。
【0007】
上述のようにソケット型の電気融着管継手を使用することはできないので、非開削工法でポリエチレン管をつなぐ場合には、次のような突き合せ融着法を採っている。まず、両管の端面を切削して変質している可能性のある表面層を取り除く。次に、両管の端面を位置合せし、再度両端面間を開く。この開いた間に、210℃に熱したヒーターを差し込み、管端面をヒーターに押し当てて同面を溶融する。一定時間後、ヒーターを抜いて、溶融した両端面を突き合せて加圧する。加圧したまま、冷却を待ち、冷却後に接合部外面にはみ出したバリを削り取る。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この従来の突き合せ融着法には、専用の接合装置を用いる必要があるが、呼び径50〜200Aのポリエチレン管を接合することのできる接合装置は、全体重量が300kg、価格が300万円と、きわめて重くかつ高価である。そのため、接合作業の段取りに時間がかかるとともに、施工単価が高くなる。さらには、接合作業管理が煩雑である。
【0009】
本発明は、小型・軽量の接合装置で熱可塑性プラスチック管の突き合せ融着作業を行うことができ、かつ作業が楽で作業時間を短縮することができる電気融着管継手を提供することを目的とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明の電気融着管継手は、電気加熱融着によって2本の熱可塑性プラスチック管を突き合せ接合する電気融着管継手であって;該管内外径にほぼ等しい内外径を有する熱可塑性プラスチック製のリング状本体と、このリング状本体の端面に布設された電熱部材と、この電熱部材に電気を供給するためのターミナルと、を具備することを特徴とする。
【0011】
つまり、従来の電気融着管継手では、ポリエチレン管(熱可塑性プラスチック管)の外側を管継手が取り巻いていたのに対して、本発明では接合する2本のポリエチレン管の端面の間に管継手が挟まれるようにしたのである。このようにすることによって、管継手がポリエチレン管の外側に突出するようなことがなくなるので、ボーリング孔内への管引き込み作業に支障を与えることがない。
【0012】
ここで“管継手本体内に埋設された電熱部材”とは、電熱線、電熱フィルム、導電性樹脂層等、通電されて発熱する部材であって、その全体又は一部が管継手本体内に埋設されたり、はり付けられたりしている部材の意味である。電気融着管継手の電気融着機能を十分実現するものであれば、その材質・構造・設置方法は問わない。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態及び実施例】
以下、図面を参照しつつさらに詳しく説明する。
図1は、本発明の一実施例に係る電気融着管継手、及び、それを用いてポリエチレン管を突き合せ接合する状態を示す断面図である。
電気融着管継手1は、リング状の本体18を有する。この本体の外径及び内径は、接続するポリエチレン管3、3´の外内径とほぼ等しい。本体18の両端面26、26´には、電熱部材としての渦巻き状の電熱線19、19´が布設(埋設)されている。この電熱線19、19´と本体端面26、26´との間には、0.1mmオーダーの厚さの樹脂層(熱可塑性プラスチック製)が存在する。電熱線19は、本体の外周に設けられているターミナル23に接続されている。同ターミナル23に外部接続端子(図示されず)をつないで、外部の電源から電気を電熱線19に供給する。
【0014】
管継手本体端面26、26´には、ポリエチレン管3、3´の端面27、27´が当接している。なお、ポリエチレン管3、3´と管継手1との位置合せ及び押し付けは、図示されていない治具あるいは工具によってなされる。このとき、管継手本体18の内外周は、ポリエチレン管3、3´の内外周とほぼ面一となっている。この状態で電熱線19、19´に通電してポリエチレン管端面27、27´と管継手端面26、26´とを融着する。
【0015】
図1の実施例におけるポリエチレン管の接合作業についてまとめれば以下のとおりである。
▲1▼ ポリエチレン管3、3´の端面を削り取って表面の変質層を取り除く。
▲2▼ ポリエチレン管3、3´の端面27、27 ′を継手1の端面26、26′に当接する。
▲3▼ 適当なクランプ治具を用いて、ポリエチレン管3、3´及び管継手1を固定する。
▲4▼ ターミナル23に外部端子をつなぐ。
▲5▼ 電熱線19、19´に通電し、ポリエチレン管3、3´の端面27、27′と管継手1の端面26、26′とを融着して一体化する。この際、適当な温度センサ等を用いて、融着部の温度をコントロール又は管理することとしてもよい。
▲6▼ 外部端子及びクランプ治具を外す。この後でターミナル23などのポリエチレン管3、3´外に出っ張った部分を削り取る。これで接合作業完了である。
【0016】
融着時には、積極的にポリエチレン管3、3´を寄せる方向に油圧シリンダで押すようにすることもできる。また、単に両ポリエチレン管を治具で固定しておいただけでも、接合部の温度上昇及び溶融に伴う膨張に伴う圧迫力が自動的に接合面にかかることとなるので、条件によっては、積極的に圧力をかける構造としなくてもすむ場合もありうる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明から明らかなように、本発明の電気融着管継手は以下の効果を発揮する。
▲1▼ 従来の突き合せ融着(バット融着)法と異なり、ポリエチレン管を軸方向にストロークさせる装置は不要となるので、使用する装置・工具が簡単かつ軽量となる。
▲2▼ 作業管理項目が減るため作業が単純化されるとともに接合の信頼性が向上する。
▲3▼ 従来の継手に比べて形状が小さくなるため安価になり、また、融着時間も短くなる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electric fusion pipe joint for joining thermoplastic pipes such as polyethylene pipes for gas pipes and water pipes by electric heating fusion. In particular, the present invention relates to an electric fusion pipe fitting suitable for a non-cutting method for digging a horizontal boring hole and laying a pipe by digging a horizontal boring hole without digging the ground at the time of pipe burying work. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, polyethylene pipes have been frequently used as gas pipes having a small and medium diameter (25 to 300 mm). Polyethylene pipes are highly valued for their high corrosion resistance, lightness, and flexibility compared to steel pipes, which were the mainstay products before. Furthermore, paying attention to the flexibility of the polyethylene pipe, a non-cutting method is also employed in which piping is laid by drawing the polyethylene pipe around like a cable in a horizontal hole (boring hole) dug in the ground. Long-cut roads and piping are obstructive to road traffic and also require a large amount of work. Therefore, it is desirable to use non-open-cut methods as much as possible.
[0003]
The general supply form of the polyethylene pipe for gas is brought into the construction site as a coil pipe having a length of 90 to 30 m for a nominal diameter of 25 to 75A and as a straight pipe having a length of 5.5 or 9 m for a nominal diameter of 100A or more. It is. Therefore, when laying piping over longer distances (mostly), it is necessary to connect polyethylene tubes together. Here, a fusion method is generally used to connect the polyethylene pipes.
[0004]
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a socket-type electrofused pipe joint used for butt connection of general polyethylene pipes and a state of connection work of polyethylene pipes using the same. The

However, the conventional
[0007]
As described above, since a socket-type electric fusion pipe joint cannot be used, the following butt fusion method is employed when connecting polyethylene pipes by a non-open cutting method. First, the end layers of both pipes are cut to remove a surface layer that may be altered. Next, the end surfaces of both pipes are aligned and the space between both end surfaces is opened again. During this opening, a heater heated to 210 ° C. is inserted, and the tube end surface is pressed against the heater to melt the same surface. After a certain period of time, the heater is removed and the molten end faces are butted together and pressurized. While pressure is applied, the system waits for cooling, and scrapes off any burrs that protrude from the outer surface of the joint after cooling.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this conventional butt fusion method, it is necessary to use a dedicated joining device. However, the joining device capable of joining a polyethylene pipe having a nominal diameter of 50 to 200 A has an overall weight of 300 kg and a price of 3 million yen. It is very heavy and expensive. Therefore, it takes time to set up the joining work, and the construction unit cost increases. Furthermore, joining work management is complicated.
[0009]
It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric fusion pipe joint that can perform a butt fusion work of thermoplastic pipes with a small and lightweight joining device, and that is easy and shortens the work time. Objective.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the electric fusion pipe joint of the present invention is an electric fusion pipe joint in which two thermoplastic pipes are butt-joined by electric heat fusion; approximately equal to the inner and outer diameters of the pipe. A ring-shaped main body made of thermoplastics having inner and outer diameters, an electric heating member laid on an end surface of the ring-shaped main body, and a terminal for supplying electricity to the electric heating member.
[0011]
That is, in the conventional electric fusion pipe joint, the pipe joint surrounds the outside of the polyethylene pipe (thermoplastic pipe), whereas in the present invention, the pipe joint is between the end faces of the two polyethylene pipes to be joined. Is to be sandwiched. By doing in this way, since a pipe joint does not protrude outside a polyethylene pipe, it does not interfere with pipe drawing work into a boring hole.
[0012]
Here, the “electric heating member embedded in the pipe joint body” is a member that generates heat when energized, such as a heating wire, an electric heating film, a conductive resin layer, etc. It means a member that is buried or attached. Any material, structure, and installation method may be used as long as the electric fusion function of the electric fusion pipe joint is sufficiently realized.
