Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、道路の地中に埋設されている例えばガス本支管から分岐して宅地内に引き込まれたガス供給管が、例えば家屋解体等にともなって不使用となり宅地境界付近で切断された後に、不使用となった供給管(これを、不使用供給管と言う。)からガスが不用意に外部に漏れ出ないように閉塞するための閉塞装置に関し、特に、不使用供給管を閉塞するための閉塞部品と該閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置(本支管にできるだけ近い内奥)に送り込むための送り込みとから構成されている不使用供給管の閉塞装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
不使用供給管は、宅地境界付近で切断した後、道路を掘削した上で、道路の地中に埋設されている本支管から切り離して撤去することが望ましいが、撤去に要する費用の面などから撤去しない場合が多い。そこで、自然劣化や水道管等の他の工事による折損などにより不使用供給管からガス漏れが発生しないように、道路を被掘削状態で不使用供給管を閉塞処理するための閉塞部品を所定位置まで送りこんで閉塞処理することが要望される。
【0003】
しかし乍ら、図4に示した如き、ゴム製の袋(閉塞部品)aを不使用供給管A内に送り込んだ後、ゴム製袋aをエアー封入管bから供給するエアーで膨らませて不使用供給管Aを閉塞する従来の不使用供給管閉塞装置では、その構造上ゴム製の袋(閉塞部品)aを不使用供給管A内の所定位置まで送りこむことが難しかった。
そこで、不使用供給管の内径より僅かに小径の円形断面に形成された弾性変形可能なシール部材(閉塞部品)を送り込み杆で不使用供給管内の所定位置まで送り込み、然る後に上記シール部材を両側から挟むことにより当該シール部材を周方向に膨出変形させて不使用供給管を閉塞させる閉塞装置が提案された。
しかしどちらの閉塞装置を用いる場合も、閉塞部品(ゴム製袋やシール部材)を不使用供給管内に挿入して不使用供給管を閉塞するまでの間にガスが外部に漏洩しないようにする為に、不使用供給管Aの挿入口側A’に流出防止機構部Cを備えたノーブローカバーと称する密閉作業用バッグDを設置し、流出防止機構部Cから作業者が腕を挿し入れながら閉塞作業を行なう必要があった。言い換えれば、不使用供給管の閉塞作業をしている間中、不使用供給管のガスがノーブローカバーDから外部に流出する危険性があると共に、不使用供給管の閉塞作業を完全に行なった後でなければノーブローカバーを取り外すことができないので、ノーブローカバーが邪魔して作業性そのものを非常に悪くしていた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような現状にあって、本発明者等が鋭意研究した結果、不使用供給管から漏洩しようとするガスは、硬度(Hvs)15〜35の単泡スポンジ材を通過することができず、係る材料を不使用供給管に挿入すれば、少なくとも不使用供給管を閉塞させるための閉塞装置で完全に閉塞するまでの間、不使用供給管からのガスの漏洩を防止することが可能であることを見出し本発明に至った。
【0005】
本発明の第1の目的は、従来では不使用供給管の閉塞作業を行なっている間中必要としていたノーブローカバー(密閉作業用バッグ)を、少なくとも閉塞部品を不使用供給管に挿入させるまでの間以外は必要とせず、閉塞部品を不使用供給管に挿入した後はノーブローカバーを撤去することが可能であり、不使用供給管の閉塞作業を簡便且つ迅速に行なうことが出来る不使用供給管の閉塞装置を提供することにある。
また、本発明の第2の目的は、不使用供給管を閉塞する閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置まで確実に送り込み設置することができる不使用供給管の閉塞装置を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
斯かる目的を達成する本発明の不使用供給管の閉塞装置は、不使用供給管を閉塞するための閉塞部品と該閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置に送り込むための送り込み杆とからなる不使用供給管の閉塞装置であって、前記送り込み杆が、前記閉塞部品に分離自在に連結される第一送り込み杆と該第一送り込み杆に分離自在に連結される第二送り込み杆とで構成され、上記第一送り込み杆の一端側には前記閉塞部品の連結部材に突設せしめた係合ピンと分離自在に係合する係合溝を形成すると共に該係合溝に連結された前記閉塞部品の連結部材を押圧する弾発バネを設け、上記第一送り込み杆の他端側には係合段部が形成された係合腕と軸方向にスライドして上記係合段部の外周を被覆する抜け止め筒を設けると共に該抜け止め筒と上記係合腕との間に介装されて該抜け止め筒を上記係合段部の外周を被覆する方向に付勢させる弾発バネを設け、前記第二送り込み杆の一端側には上記第一送り込み杆に設けられた係合腕の係合段部と適合する係合段部が形成された連結腕を設けてなる事を特徴としたものである(請求項1)。
この際、前記閉塞部品が、不使用供給管の内径より僅かに小径の円形断面を有する弾性変形可能なシール部材と、該シール部材を両側から挟んで互いに接近動作させることにより当該シール部材を周方向に膨出変形させて不使用供給管の内周面に密接させる第一・第二挟持部材と、上記シール部材の両端側または一端側に同心状に設けられる漏洩防止盤とを備え、上記漏洩防止盤が硬度(Hvs)15〜35の単泡スポンジ材を用いて不使用供給管の内径より僅かに大径の円形板状に形成されている事が望ましい(請求項2)。
また、前記第二送り込み杆の他端側は、第一送り込み杆の一端側と同様に形成することが好ましい。即ち、第二送り込み杆の他端側には、別の第二送り込み杆を分離自在に接続できるように、別の第二送り込み杆の一端側に設けられた連結腕の係合段部と適合する係合段部が形成された接続腕を設けると共に、軸方向にスライドして上記接続腕の係合段部外周を被覆する抜け止め筒と、該抜け止め筒と上記接続腕との間に介装されて該抜け止め筒を上記接続腕の係合段部外周を被覆する方向に付勢させる弾発バネを設けることが好ましい(請求項3)。
また、送り込み杆が長くなって途中で撓むことがないように、第一送り込み杆と第二送り込み杆の間または第二送り込み杆と別の第二送り込み杆との間に、不使用供給管の内径より僅かに小径の円形リング状に形成されたサポートリングを設けることが好ましい(請求項4)。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の具体的な好適実施例を図面に基づいて詳細に説明するが、本発明は図示実施例のものに限定されるものではなく、いろいろなバリエーションが考えられる。
本発明に係る不使用供給管の閉塞装置は、不使用供給管Aを閉塞するための閉塞部品Bとこの閉塞部品Bを不使用供給管A内の所定の位置まで送り込むための送り込み杆Eとから構成される。
【0008】
閉塞部品Bは、不使用供給管Aの内径より僅かに小径の円形断面を有する弾性変形可能なシール部材1と、このシール部材1を両側から挟んで互いに接近動作をさせることにより当該シール部材1を周方向に膨出変形させて不使用供給管Aの内周面に密接させるための第一・第二挟持部材2,3と、上記シール部材1の両端側または一端側に同心状に設けられる漏洩防止盤4等から構成されている。
【0009】
シール部材1は、弾性変形可能なゴム等のエラストマー、好ましくは耐候性に優れた合成ゴム、更に好ましくは硬度Hs(JISA)40以上の例えばクロロプレンゴム等の合成ゴム材を用いて、不使用供給管Aの内径に応じて適当な長さを有し且つその外径が不使用供給管Aの内径より僅かに小径の円形断面を有するように形成すると共に、周方向に膨出変形しやすいようにその内部に一端面側に開口する断面円形の凹部11が同軸状に形成され、その両側に配設された第一挟持部材2と第二挟持部材3を互いに接近動作させることにより当該シール部材1を周方向に膨出変形させて不使用供給管Aの内周面に密接して閉塞するようにする形成されている。
【0010】
シール部材1の両側に配設された第一挟持部材2と第二挟持部材3を互いに接近動作させることにより当該シール部材1を周方向に膨出変形させるための機構・構成としては種々考えられるが、図示実施例のものは、螺動運動を利用したものである。
即ち、図示実施例のものは、第一挟持部材2を、シール部材1の一端面側に開口形成した凹部11の口縁段部12に嵌合状に係合される円形頭部21とこの円形頭部21のセンターから突設された螺子棒22とで形成し、第二挟持部材3を、第一挟持部材2の円形頭部21とほぼ同じ外径を有する略円板形状に形成し、上記第一挟持部材2をシール部材1の一端面側に第二挟持部材3をシール部材1の他端面側にそれぞれ同心状に配設せしめて、第一挟持部材2の螺子棒22をシール部材1の凹部11内を貫通して第二挟持部材3の中央部から遊貫突出させ、第二挟持部材3から突出した螺子棒22の先端部分に連結部材5を螺動自在に螺合連結させて構成したものである。従って、連結部材5を例えば正方向(通常、ネジを締め込む方向)に螺動回転させることにより、第一挟持部材2の円形頭部21と第二挟持部材3が互いに接近動作して、シール部材1の外周面12が周方向に膨出変形するようになる。
尚、図中の符号6は、第二挟持部材3と連結部材5の間に介装されて連結部材5の螺動回転動作を滑らかにするためのスリップワッシャーであり、滑り性に優れた合成樹脂材でリング状に形成されている。
【0011】
漏洩防止盤4は、シール部材1と共に不使用供給管A内に挿入させることにより不使用供給管Aの内周面に密接してガスの漏洩を防止するものであり、柔軟弾性を有する材料を用いて、不使用供給管Aの内径より僅かに大径の円形板状に形成され、シール部材1の両端側または一端側、図示実施例においては第二挟持部材3を設置したシール部材1の一端側に、シール部材1と同心状に設けられる。この漏洩防止盤4の材質としては、柔軟弾性を有する材料、具体的には、天然ゴムやクロロピレンゴム,エチレンプロピレンゴム,ニトリルゴム等のゴム系スポンジ材、好ましくはクロロピレンゴム系の単泡スポンジ材、更に好ましくは硬度(Hvs)15〜35のクロロピレンゴム系の単泡スポンジ材を用いる。この場合、硬度(Hvs)が15以下では容易に変形してしまうので保形性に乏しくなって不使用供給管Aの内周面との密着性が悪くなり、逆に硬度(Hvs)が35以上では永久変形が多くなって不使用供給管A内周面との当たりが悪くなり、ガスの漏洩防止効果を余り期待できなくなる。
尚、この漏洩防止盤4は、閉塞部品Bの閉塞操作(第一挟持部材2と第二挟持部材3を互いに接近動作させてシール部材1を周方向に膨出変形させ、シール部材1の外周面12を不使用供給管Aの内周面に密接に緊着させる操作)時において、シール部材1の空回りを防止する役目も果たす。
【0012】
而して、不使用供給管Aの閉塞作業にあたり、シール部材1と第一・第二挟持部材2,3と漏洩防止盤4等からなる閉塞部品Bを不使用供給管A内に挿入させると、漏洩防止盤4が不使用供給管Aの内周面に密接して不使用供給管A内が直ちに閉塞され、これで取りあえず不使用供給管Aからのガスの漏洩が防止される。従って、以後の閉塞作業では、ガスが外部へ漏洩するのを防ぐためのノーブローカバー(密閉作業用バッグ)を撤去してもかまわない。
次に、閉塞部品Bを、送り込み杆Eでもって不使用供給管Aの所定の内奥、すなわち本支管に近い所定位置までに送り込み、その後に、送り込み杆Eを介して連結部材5を螺動回転させると、漏洩防止盤4がシール部材1の空回り防止の役目を果たし、シール部材1の両側に配設された第一挟持部材2と第二挟持部材3が互いに接近動作して当該シール部材1を周方向に膨出変形させ、シール部材1の外周面12が不使用供給管Aの内周面に密接に緊着するようになる。これで不使用供給管Aが、本支管に近い所定位置でしっかりと閉塞されるので、後は従来と同様に、不使用供給管A内に樹脂充填剤を閉塞部品Bに近接させて充填して閉塞作業を完了する。
【0013】
次に、本発明に係る送り込み杆Eについて説明する。
送り込み杆Eは、閉塞部品Bに分離自在に連結される第一送り込み杆7と、その第一送り込み杆7に分離自在に連結される第二送り込み杆8とで構成され、閉塞部品Bを不使用供給管A内の所定位置に送り込む距離に応じて、第二送り込み杆8に別の第二送り込み杆8を分離自在に継ぎ足し接続して使用される。
【0014】
第一送り込み杆7は、剛性に優れ且つ軽量な金属製またはプラスチック製の中空パイプ材を用いて所要の長さ(例えば、52cm位)に形成され、その一端側に閉塞部品Bを分離自在に連結し、他端側に第二送り込み杆8を分離自在に連結せしめる。
即ち、第一送り込み杆7の一端側には、閉塞部品B側に突設せしめた係合ピン51、具体的には第二挟持部材3から遊貫突出した第一挟持部材2の螺子棒22の先端部分に螺動自在に螺合連結された連結部材5に軸方向と直交する方向に突設せしめた2本の係合ピン51、と分離自在に係合される係合溝71を形成すると共に、該係合溝71を介して連結された閉塞部品Bを係合溝71から離脱しないように押圧するための弾発バネ72を設けてなる。
【0015】
上記係合溝71は、連結部材5に突設せしめた係合ピン51と対応する位置に第一送り込み杆7の端面から軸方向に沿って略Jの字形に形成してなる。また、弾発バネ72は、閉塞部品Bに突設せしめた連結部材5をその係合ピン51を介して上記係合溝71に係合連結した際に連結部材5を第一送り込み杆7から軸方向に離間させる方向に付勢させるものであり、略コイル状に形成して第一送り込み杆7の一端側内部に上記係合溝71に近接して軸方向に設置される。
尚、図中の符号73は、連結部材5の端面との当りを良くして弾発バネ72の押圧力を連結部材5に確実に伝えるための当り板である。
【0016】
而して、閉塞部材Bに第一送り込み杆7を連結する場合、図2に詳しく示した通り、閉塞部材Bの連結部材5に突設せしめた係合ピン51に第一送り込み杆7の一端側に形成した係合溝71を嵌入させて、第一送り込み杆7を閉塞部材B方へ弾発バネ72の弾発力に抗して押し込み、その状態で第一送り込み杆7を周方向に少し回動させて第一送り込み杆7の押し込み動作を止める。すると、係合ピン51が係合溝71の屈曲した奥部分71aに係合すると共に、弾発バネ72の付勢力により係合ピン51が係合溝71の奥部分71aに押し付けられ、閉塞部材Bと第一送り込み杆7の連結状態が維持される。
【0017】
他方、第二送り込み杆8が分離自在に連結される第一送り込み杆7の他端側には、係合段部74が形成された係合腕75と、軸方向にスライドして係合腕75の係合段部74の外周を被覆する抜け止め筒76を設けると共に、該抜け止め筒76と上記係合腕75との間に介装されて抜け止め筒76を上記係合段部74の外周を被覆する方向に付勢させるための弾発バネ57を設けてなる。
【0018】
係合腕75は、剛性に優れた金属製またはプラスチック製の無垢の丸棒材または角棒材を用いて、第一送り込み杆7の他端側に動かないように固定状に突設せしめ、その先端部分を軸方向に半分削除した略蒲鉾形状に形成すると共に、その平坦部側に軸方向と直交する方向に係合段部74を形成してなり、係合段部74に第二送り込み杆8の一端側に突設された連結腕81(の係合段部82)が分離自在に係合連結される。
【0019】
抜け止め筒76は、第二送り込み杆8が第一送り込み杆7から分離しないようにその連結状態を保持するためのものであり、係合腕75の外径L1とほぼ同じ内径を有し且つ少なくとも係合腕75の係合段部74部分を被覆し得る長さを有する円筒または角筒形状に形成され、係合腕75の外周に軸方向にスライド自在に設けられると共に、係合腕75側に突設せしめたストッパー78を軸方向に形成した長穴79に遊嵌係合させることによりそのスライド移動量並びに周方向の回動が規制されている。
【0020】
そして弾発バネ77は、略コイル状に形成して、抜け止め筒76を常時係合腕75の係合段部74外周を被覆する方向に付勢さるように、係合腕75の外周面と抜け止め筒76の内周面との間に介装設置される。
【0021】
一方、第二送り込み杆8は、第一送り込み杆7と同様に、剛性に優れ且つ軽量な金属製またはプラスチック製の中空パイプ材を用いて所要の長さ(例えば、52cm位)に形成され、その一端側に、第一送り込み杆7の係合腕75と係合連結される連結腕81を設け、他端側を第一送り込み杆7の他端側と同様に形成してなる。
即ち、第二送り込み杆8の一端側には、第一送り込み杆7の係合腕75と同様に、剛性に優れた金属製またはプラスチック製の無垢の丸棒材または角棒材を用いて、その先端部分を軸方向に半分削除した略蒲鉾形状に形成すると共にその平坦部側に軸方向と直交する方向に第一送り込み杆7における係合腕75の係合段部74と適合する係合段部82が形成された連結腕81を、第二送り込み杆8の一端側に動かないように固定状に突設せしめる。
【0022】
そして、第二送り込み杆8の他端側には、別の第二送り込み杆8の一端側に設けられた連結腕81の係合段部82と適合する係合段部83が形成された接続腕84と、軸方向にスライドして上記接続腕84の係合段部83の外周を被覆する抜け止め筒85を設けると共に、この抜け止め筒85と接続腕84との間に介装されて抜け止め筒85を接続腕84の係合段部83外周を被覆する方向に付勢させるための弾発バネ86を設けてなる。上記抜け止め筒85は、軸方向に形成した長穴87に接続腕84側に突設せしめたストッパー88が遊嵌係合して、そのスライド移動量及び周方向の回動が規制されている。
【0023】
而して、第一送り込み杆7に第二送り込み杆8を連結させる場合には、図1に示した通り、先ず、第一送り込み杆7の抜け止め筒76を弾発バネ77の付勢力に抗してスライドさせて、係合腕75の係合段部74を露出させる。その状態で、第二送り込み杆8の一端側に突設せしめた連結腕81の係合段部82を係合腕75の係合段部74に重ね合わせるように係合させる。然る後に、第一送り込み杆7の抜け止め筒76から手を離すと、弾発バネ77の付勢力により抜け止め筒76が元の位置に復帰し、互いに重ね合わせ状に係合された係合腕75の係合段部74と連結腕81の係合段部82の外周が被覆され、第一送り込み杆7と第二送り込み杆8の連結状態が保持されるようになる。
【0024】
また、第二送り込み杆8の他端側に別の第二送り込み杆8を継ぎ足す場合も、第一送り込み杆7に第二送り込み杆8を連結させる場合と同様に、第二送り込み杆8の抜け止め筒85を弾発バネ86の付勢力に抗してスライドさせて、接続腕84の係合段部83を露出させ、第二送り込み杆8の一端側に突設せしめた連結腕81の係合段部82を接続腕84の係合段部83に重ね合わせるように係合させる。然る後に、第二送り込み杆8の抜け止め筒85から手を離せば、弾発バネ86の付勢力により抜け止め筒85が元の位置に復帰し、互いに重ね合わせ状に係合された接続腕84の係合段部83と連結腕81の係合段部82の外周が被覆され、第二送り込み杆8と別の第二送り込み杆8の連結状態が保持されるようになる。
【0025】
この際、送り込み杆Eが長くなって途中で撓むことがないように、第一送り込み杆7と第二送り込み杆8の間または第二送り込み杆8と別の第二送り込み杆8との間に、第二送り込み杆8の連結腕81の外径とほぼ同じ内径を有すると共に不使用供給管Aの内径より僅かに小径の外径を有する円形リング状に形成されたサポートリング9を設けることが好ましい。このサポートリング9は、第一送り込み杆7の係合腕75と第二送り込み杆8の連結腕81を連結する時、または第二送り込み杆8の接続腕84と別の第二送り込み杆8の連結腕81を連結する時に、予め連結腕81側に嵌めておくようにする。
【0026】
【発明の効果】
本発明の第1発明よれば、不使用供給管を閉塞するための閉塞部品を、不使用供給管の内径より僅かに小径の円形断面を有する弾性変形可能なシール部材と、該シール部材を両側から挟んで互いに接近動作させることにより当該シール部材を周方向に膨出変形させて不使用供給管の内周面に密接させる第一・第二挟持部材と、上記シール部材の両端側または一端側に同心状に設けられる漏洩防止盤とを備え、上記漏洩防止盤が硬度(Hvs)15〜35の単泡スポンジ材を用いて不使用供給管の内径より僅かに大径の円形板状に形成してなるので、閉塞部品を不使用供給管内に挿入させると、漏洩防止盤が不使用供給管の内周面に密接して直ちに閉塞され、これで取りあえず不使用供給管からのガスの漏洩が防止されるようになる。従って、以後の閉塞作業では、ガスが外部へ漏洩するのを防ぐためのノーブローカバー(密閉作業用バッグ)を撤去してもかまわなくなる。よって、従来では不使用供給管の閉塞作業を行なっている間中必要としていたノーブローカバーを、少なくとも閉塞部品を不使用供給管に挿入させるまでの間以外は必要とせず、閉塞部品を不使用供給管に挿入した後はノーブローカバーを撤去することが可能であり、その結果、不使用供給管の閉塞作業を簡便且つ迅速に行なことが可能となり、作業性を大幅に向上させることが出来る。
しかも、閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置に送り込む際に、ノーブローカバーがないので、すなわちノーブローカバーの流出防止機構部から作業者が腕を挿し入れながら閉塞作業を行なうようなことがなくなったので、閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置に正確に且つ簡便に送り込むことが出来るようになる。
【0027】
また、本発明の第2発明よれば、閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置に送り込むための送り込み杆が、閉塞部品に分離自在に連結される第一送り込み杆と第一送り込み杆に分離自在に連結される第二送り込み杆とで構成され、第一送り込み杆の一端側には閉塞部品の連結部材に突設せしめた係合ピンと分離自在に係合する係合溝を形成すると共に該係合溝に連結された閉塞部品の連結部材を押圧する弾発バネを設け、第一送り込み杆の他端側には係合段部が形成された係合腕と軸方向にスライドして係合段部の外周を被覆する抜け止め筒を設けると共に該抜け止め筒と係合腕との間に介装されて該抜け止め筒を係合段部の外周を被覆する方向に付勢させる弾発バネを設け、第二送り込み杆の一端側には第一送り込み杆に設けられた係合腕の係合段部と適合する係合段部が形成された連結腕を設けてなるので、不使用供給管を閉塞する閉塞部品を不使用供給管内の所定位置まで確実に送り込み設置することができる。即ち、第一送り込み杆に第二送り込み杆を簡便且つしっかりと接続することが出来ると共に、第一送り込み杆に第二送り込み杆を接続させた状態でもって送り込み杆全体を周方向に回動させて閉塞部品の閉塞操作(第一挟持部材と第二挟持部材を互いに接近動作させてシール部材を周方向に膨出変形させ、シール部材の外周面を不使用供給管の内周面に密接に緊着させる操作)を行なうことが可能となる。
【0028】
更に、第二送り込み杆の他端側に、別の第二送り込み杆の一端側に設けられた連結腕の係合段部と適合する係合段部が形成された接続腕を設けると共に、軸方向にスライドして上記接続腕の係合段部外周を被覆する抜け止め筒と、該抜け止め筒と上記接続腕との間に介装されて該抜け止め筒を上記接続腕の係合段部外周を被覆する方向に付勢させる弾発バネを設けることにより、必要に応じて第二送り込み杆に別の第二送り込み杆を継ぎ足しすることが容易となり、閉塞部品を設置する位置が不使用供給管の内奥であっても容易に対応することが可能となる。
【0029】
また、第一送り込み杆と第二送り込み杆の間または第二送り込み杆と別の第二送り込み杆との間に、不使用供給管の内径より僅かに小径の円形リング状に形成されたサポートリングを設けることにより、第一送り込み杆に第二送り込み杆を接続したり更に別の第二送り込み杆を継ぎ足して送り込み杆の全長が長くなった場合でも、送り込み杆が途中で撓むことがない。即ち、送り込み杆が途中で撓むと、その影響で閉塞部品の軸心方向が不使用供給管の軸心方向とずれてしまい、シール部材の外周面が不使用供給管の内周面にきっちりと密接しなくなるが、本発明によればその様な惧れがなくなる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention, for example, after a gas supply pipe that is buried in the ground of a road, for example, branched from a gas main branch pipe and drawn into the residential land becomes unused and cut near the boundary of the residential land, for example, when the house is demolished The present invention relates to a closing device for blocking gas from inadvertently leaking to the outside from a supply pipe that has not been used (this is called an unused supply pipe). The present invention relates to a closing device for a non-use supply pipe, which is composed of a closing part for supplying the same and a feeding pipe for sending the closing part to a predetermined position in the non-use supply pipe (inner depth as close as possible to this branch pipe).
[0002]
[Prior art]
It is desirable that unused supply pipes be cut off near the residential land boundary, then excavated on the road, and then removed separately from the main pipes buried in the road. However, due to the cost of removal, etc. Often not removed. Therefore, in order to prevent gas leakage from the unused supply pipe due to natural deterioration or breakage due to other construction such as water pipes, etc., a blocking part for closing the unused supply pipe in a state where the road is excavated is in place. It is desired that the blockage process be carried out by feeding to the end.
[0003]
However, as shown in FIG. 4, after the rubber bag (blocking part) a is fed into the non-use supply pipe A, the rubber bag a is inflated with air supplied from the air sealing pipe b and is not used. In the conventional unused supply pipe closing device that closes the supply pipe A, it is difficult to feed the rubber bag (closing part) a to a predetermined position in the unused supply pipe A because of its structure.
Therefore, an elastically deformable seal member (blocking part) formed in a circular cross section slightly smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe is sent to a predetermined position in the unused supply pipe with a feed rod, and then the seal member is A closing device has been proposed in which the unused supply pipe is closed by causing the sealing member to bulge and deform in the circumferential direction by being sandwiched from both sides.
However, in order to prevent gas from leaking to the outside between the time when the closing part (rubber bag or seal member) is inserted into the unused supply pipe and the unused supply pipe is closed, in either case of using the closing device. In addition, a sealing work bag D called a no-blow cover having an outflow prevention mechanism C is installed on the insertion port side A ′ of the unused supply pipe A, and an operator inserts his arm from the outflow prevention mechanism C. It was necessary to perform a blockage operation. In other words, while the unused supply pipe is closed, there is a risk that the gas in the unused supply pipe will flow out of the no-blow cover D, and the unused supply pipe is completely closed. Since the no-blow cover can only be removed after the operation, the no-blow cover obstructs the workability itself.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a current situation, as a result of intensive studies by the present inventors, the gas to be leaked from the unused supply pipe cannot pass through the single foam sponge material having a hardness (Hvs) of 15 to 35, If such a material is inserted into the unused supply pipe, it is possible to prevent leakage of gas from the unused supply pipe at least until it is completely closed with a closing device for closing the unused supply pipe. As a result, the present invention was reached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, specific preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments, and various variations are conceivable.
The unused supply pipe closing device according to the present invention includes a closed part B for closing the unused supply pipe A, and a feed rod E for sending the closed part B to a predetermined position in the unused supply pipe A. Consists of
[0008]
The closing part B includes an elastically deformable seal member 1 having a circular cross section slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe A, and the seal member 1 by causing the seal member 1 to approach each other by sandwiching the seal member 1 from both sides. Are formed concentrically on both ends or one end of the seal member 1 and the first and second sandwiching members 2 and 3 for causing the seal member to bulge and deform in the circumferential direction and closely contact the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A. The leakage prevention board 4 etc. are comprised.
[0009]
The seal member 1 is made of an elastically deformable rubber or the like, preferably a synthetic rubber excellent in weather resistance, more preferably a synthetic rubber material such as chloroprene rubber having a hardness Hs (JISA) of 40 or more, and is not supplied. The tube A has an appropriate length according to the inner diameter, and the outer diameter is formed so as to have a circular cross section slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe A, and is easily bulged and deformed in the circumferential direction. A recess 11 having a circular cross section that opens to one end surface side is formed coaxially in the inside thereof, and the first clamping member 2 and the second clamping member 3 disposed on both sides thereof are moved closer to each other to thereby move the sealing member. 1 is formed to bulge and deform in the circumferential direction so as to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A.
[0010]
Various mechanisms and configurations for causing the first clamping member 2 and the second clamping member 3 disposed on both sides of the sealing member 1 to move closer to each other to bulge and deform the sealing member 1 in the circumferential direction can be considered. However, the illustrated embodiment uses a screw motion.
That is, in the illustrated embodiment, the first clamping member 2 is engaged with a circular head 21 fitted into a rim step portion 12 of a recess 11 formed in an opening on one end surface side of the seal member 1 and this. The second clamping member 3 is formed in a substantially disk shape having substantially the same outer diameter as that of the circular head 21 of the first clamping member 2. The first clamping member 2 is concentrically disposed on one end surface side of the seal member 1 and the second clamping member 3 is concentrically disposed on the other end surface side of the seal member 1 to seal the screw rod 22 of the first clamping member 2. The member 1 passes through the recess 11 and protrudes loosely from the center of the second clamping member 3, and the connecting member 5 is screwed and connected to the tip of the screw rod 22 protruding from the second clamping member 3. It is configured. Accordingly, for example, by rotating the connecting member 5 in a forward direction (usually a direction in which a screw is tightened), the circular head 21 of the first clamping member 2 and the second clamping member 3 move closer to each other, and the seal The outer peripheral surface 12 of the member 1 bulges and deforms in the circumferential direction.
Reference numeral 6 in the figure is a slip washer that is interposed between the second clamping member 3 and the connecting member 5 to smooth the screw rotation of the connecting member 5, and has excellent slipperiness. It is formed in a ring shape with a resin material.
[0011]
The leakage prevention panel 4 is inserted into the unused supply pipe A together with the seal member 1 to prevent gas leakage in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A, and is made of a material having flexible elasticity. The seal member 1 is formed in a circular plate shape slightly larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe A, and is provided with both end sides or one end side of the seal member 1, in the illustrated embodiment, the second clamping member 3 is installed. One end side is provided concentrically with the seal member 1. The material of the leakage prevention panel 4 is a material having flexible elasticity, specifically, a rubber sponge material such as natural rubber, chloropyrene rubber, ethylene propylene rubber or nitrile rubber, preferably a single foam of chloropyrene rubber. A sponge material, more preferably a chloropyrene rubber-based single foam sponge material having a hardness (Hvs) of 15 to 35 is used. In this case, when the hardness (Hvs) is 15 or less, it is easily deformed, so that the shape retention is poor and the adhesion with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A is deteriorated. Conversely, the hardness (Hvs) is 35. As described above, permanent deformation increases and the contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A becomes worse, so that the effect of preventing gas leakage cannot be expected much.
The leakage prevention panel 4 is used for closing the closing part B (the first holding member 2 and the second holding member 3 are moved closer to each other to bulge and deform the seal member 1 in the circumferential direction). It also serves to prevent idling of the seal member 1 during the operation of tightly attaching the surface 12 to the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A).
[0012]
Thus, when the unused supply pipe A is closed, when the closed part B including the seal member 1, the first and second clamping members 2 and 3, the leakage prevention panel 4 and the like is inserted into the unused supply pipe A. The leakage prevention panel 4 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A, and the unused supply pipe A is immediately closed, so that gas leakage from the unused supply pipe A is prevented for the time being. Therefore, in the subsequent closing operation, the no-blow cover (sealing operation bag) for preventing the gas from leaking to the outside may be removed.
Next, the closing part B is fed with a feed rod E to a predetermined inner depth of the unused supply pipe A, that is, to a predetermined position near the main branch pipe, and then the connecting member 5 is screwed via the feed rod E. When rotated, the leakage prevention panel 4 plays a role of preventing the seal member 1 from rotating freely, and the first clamping member 2 and the second clamping member 3 disposed on both sides of the sealing member 1 move closer to each other, and the sealing member 1 is bulged and deformed in the circumferential direction, and the outer peripheral surface 12 of the seal member 1 comes into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe A. As a result, the unused supply pipe A is tightly closed at a predetermined position close to the main branch pipe. After that, the unused supply pipe A is filled with the resin filler close to the closed part B in the same manner as in the past. To complete the blocking operation.
[0013]
Next, the feeding rod E according to the present invention will be described.
The feed rod E is composed of a first feed rod 7 that is separably connected to the closing component B and a second feed rod 8 that is separably connected to the first feed rod 7. Depending on the distance fed to a predetermined position in the use supply pipe A, another second feed rod 8 is detachably added to the second feed rod 8 and used.
[0014]
The first feeding rod 7 is formed to have a required length (for example, about 52 cm) using a metal or plastic hollow pipe material having excellent rigidity and light weight, and the closing part B can be separated at one end thereof. The second feeding rod 8 is detachably coupled to the other end side.
That is, at one end side of the first feeding rod 7, an engaging pin 51 protruding from the closing part B side, specifically, a screw rod 22 of the first clamping member 2 projecting loosely from the second clamping member 3 is provided. An engaging groove 71 is formed that is separably engaged with two engaging pins 51 projecting in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction to a connecting member 5 that is screwed and connected to a tip portion of the engaging member. In addition, a resilient spring 72 is provided for pressing the closing part B connected via the engagement groove 71 so as not to be detached from the engagement groove 71.
[0015]
The engagement groove 71 is formed in a substantially J shape along the axial direction from the end surface of the first feed rod 7 at a position corresponding to the engagement pin 51 projecting from the connecting member 5. Further, the elastic spring 72 is configured to move the connecting member 5 from the first feed rod 7 when the connecting member 5 protruding from the closing part B is engaged and connected to the engaging groove 71 via the engaging pin 51. It is energized in a direction to be separated in the axial direction, is formed in a substantially coil shape, and is installed in the axial direction in the vicinity of the engagement groove 71 inside one end side of the first feeding rod 7.
Reference numeral 73 in the drawing is a contact plate for improving the contact with the end face of the connecting member 5 and reliably transmitting the pressing force of the spring 72 to the connecting member 5.
[0016]
Thus, when the first feeding rod 7 is connected to the closing member B, as shown in detail in FIG. 2, one end of the first feeding rod 7 is engaged with the engaging pin 51 projecting from the connecting member 5 of the closing member B. The engaging groove 71 formed on the side is inserted, and the first feeding rod 7 is pushed toward the closing member B against the resilient force of the resilient spring 72. In this state, the first feeding rod 7 is pushed in the circumferential direction. Rotate a little to stop the pushing operation of the first feeding rod 7. Then, the engaging pin 51 is engaged with the bent back part 71a of the engaging groove 71, and the engaging pin 51 is pressed against the back part 71a of the engaging groove 71 by the urging force of the elastic spring 72, so that the closing member The connection state between B and the first feed rod 7 is maintained.
[0017]
On the other hand, on the other end side of the first feed rod 7 to which the second feed rod 8 is detachably connected, an engagement arm 75 formed with an engagement step 74 and an engagement arm that slides in the axial direction. A retaining cylinder 76 that covers the outer periphery of the 75 engaging step portions 74 is provided, and is disposed between the retaining tube 76 and the engaging arm 75 so that the retaining tube 76 is connected to the engaging step portion 74. An elastic spring 57 is provided for biasing the outer periphery of the spring in the direction in which it is covered.
[0018]
The engaging arm 75 is made of a solid metal or plastic round bar or square bar with excellent rigidity, and is fixedly projected so as not to move to the other end of the first feeding rod 7. The tip part is formed in a substantially bowl shape with half of the axial direction removed, and the engaging step part 74 is formed in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction on the flat part side, and the second feeding into the engaging step part 74 A connecting arm 81 (an engaging step portion 82) projecting from one end of the flange 8 is detachably engaged and connected.
[0019]
The retaining cylinder 76 is for maintaining the connected state so that the second feeding rod 8 is not separated from the first feeding rod 7, and has an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter L1 of the engaging arm 75, and It is formed in a cylindrical or rectangular tube shape having a length that can cover at least the engagement step portion 74 of the engagement arm 75, and is provided on the outer periphery of the engagement arm 75 so as to be slidable in the axial direction. The amount of sliding movement and the rotation in the circumferential direction are restricted by loosely engaging the stopper 78 projecting on the side with an elongated hole 79 formed in the axial direction.
[0020]
The elastic spring 77 is formed in a substantially coil shape, and the outer peripheral surface of the engaging arm 75 is urged so that the retaining cylinder 76 is always biased in a direction covering the outer periphery of the engaging step portion 74 of the engaging arm 75. And an inner peripheral surface of the retaining cylinder 76.
[0021]
On the other hand, the second feed rod 8 is formed in a required length (for example, about 52 cm) using a metal or plastic hollow pipe material that is excellent in rigidity and lightweight, like the first feed rod 7. A connecting arm 81 that is engaged with and connected to the engaging arm 75 of the first feeding rod 7 is provided on one end side, and the other end side is formed in the same manner as the other end side of the first feeding rod 7.
That is, on the one end side of the second feeding rod 8, similarly to the engaging arm 75 of the first feeding rod 7, a solid metal or plastic solid round bar or square bar material having excellent rigidity is used. Engagement that fits with the engagement step 74 of the engagement arm 75 in the first feed rod 7 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction on the flat portion side, with the tip portion being half cut in the axial direction. The connecting arm 81 formed with the stepped portion 82 is projected in a fixed manner so as not to move to one end side of the second feeding rod 8.
[0022]
Then, the other end side of the second feeding rod 8 is formed with an engaging step portion 83 that is compatible with the engaging step portion 82 of the connecting arm 81 provided on one end side of another second feeding rod 8. An arm 84 and a retaining cylinder 85 that slides in the axial direction and covers the outer periphery of the engaging step portion 83 of the connecting arm 84 are provided, and are interposed between the retaining cylinder 85 and the connecting arm 84. A resilient spring 86 is provided for biasing the retaining cylinder 85 in a direction covering the outer periphery of the engaging step portion 83 of the connecting arm 84. The stopper cylinder 85 is loosely engaged with a stopper 88 projecting toward the connecting arm 84 in an elongated hole 87 formed in the axial direction, and its sliding movement amount and circumferential rotation are restricted. .
[0023]
Thus, when the second feeding rod 8 is connected to the first feeding rod 7, first, as shown in FIG. 1, the retaining cylinder 76 of the first feeding rod 7 is applied to the urging force of the elastic spring 77. It slides against, and the engagement step part 74 of the engagement arm 75 is exposed. In this state, the engaging step portion 82 of the connecting arm 81 projecting from one end of the second feeding rod 8 is engaged with the engaging step portion 74 of the engaging arm 75 so as to overlap. Thereafter, when the hand is released from the retaining cylinder 76 of the first feeding rod 7, the retaining cylinder 76 is returned to its original position by the urging force of the elastic spring 77, and the engaging cylinders are engaged with each other. The outer periphery of the engagement step portion 74 of the joint arm 75 and the engagement step portion 82 of the connecting arm 81 is covered, and the connected state of the first feeding rod 7 and the second feeding rod 8 is maintained.
[0024]
Further, when another second feeding rod 8 is added to the other end side of the second feeding rod 8, the second feeding rod 8 is connected to the first feeding rod 7 in the same manner as when the second feeding rod 8 is connected. The retaining cylinder 85 is slid against the urging force of the elastic spring 86 to expose the engaging step portion 83 of the connecting arm 84, and the connecting arm 81 protruded from one end side of the second feeding rod 8. The engaging step portion 82 is engaged with the engaging step portion 83 of the connecting arm 84 so as to overlap. Thereafter, if the hand is released from the retaining cylinder 85 of the second feeding rod 8, the retaining cylinder 85 is returned to its original position by the urging force of the elastic spring 86, and the connection is engaged with each other in an overlapping manner. The outer periphery of the engaging step portion 83 of the arm 84 and the engaging step portion 82 of the connecting arm 81 is covered, and the connected state between the second feeding rod 8 and another second feeding rod 8 is maintained.
[0025]
At this time, the first feed rod 7 and the second feed rod 8 or between the second feed rod 8 and another second feed rod 8 so that the feed rod E becomes long and does not bend in the middle.

When connecting the connecting arm 81, the connecting arm 81 is fitted in advance.
[0026]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the closing part for closing the unused supply pipe includes an elastically deformable seal member having a circular cross section slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe, and the seal members on both sides. First and second clamping members that cause the seal member to bulge and deform in the circumferential direction by being moved closer to each other to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe, and both end sides or one end sides of the seal member The leakage prevention board is formed in a circular plate shape having a diameter slightly larger than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe using a single foam sponge material having a hardness (Hvs) of 15 to 35. Therefore, when the plugging part is inserted into the unused supply pipe, the leakage prevention panel is immediately closed close to the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe, and for the time being, gas leakage from the unused supply pipe is prevented. Will be prevented. Accordingly, in the subsequent closing operation, the no-blow cover (sealing work bag) for preventing the gas from leaking to the outside may be removed. Therefore, the no-blow cover, which was required during the closing operation of the unused supply pipe in the past, is not necessary except at least until the closing part is inserted into the unused supply pipe, and the blocking part is not used. After inserting into the supply pipe, it is possible to remove the no-blow cover. As a result, it is possible to easily and quickly close the unused supply pipe, greatly improving workability. I can do it.
In addition, there is no no blow cover when sending the closing part to a predetermined position in the unused supply pipe, that is, the operator may perform the closing work while inserting the arm from the outflow prevention mechanism part of the no blow cover. Since it has disappeared, it becomes possible to accurately and simply feed the closing part to a predetermined position in the unused supply pipe.
[0027]
According to the second invention of the present invention, the feeding rod for feeding the closing part to a predetermined position in the unused supply pipe is separable into a first feeding rod and a first feeding rod that are detachably connected to the closing part. And an engaging groove that is detachably engaged with an engaging pin that protrudes from the connecting member of the closing part. The engaging groove is formed on one end of the first feeding rod. A resilient spring that presses the connecting member of the closing part connected to the mating groove is provided, and is engaged by sliding in the axial direction with an engaging arm formed with an engaging step on the other end of the first feeding rod. A resilient cylinder that covers the outer periphery of the stepped portion and is interposed between the retaining tube and the engaging arm to urge the retaining cylinder in a direction to cover the outer periphery of the engaging stepped portion. A spring is provided, and one end side of the second feeding rod is provided with an engagement arm provided on the first feeding rod. Since conforming engagement stepped portion and Godan portion is provided with a coupling arm which is formed can be reliably fed installed occlusion parts for closing the unused feed pipe to a predetermined position of non-use supply pipe. That is, the second feeding rod can be easily and firmly connected to the first feeding rod, and the entire feeding rod is rotated in the circumferential direction with the second feeding rod connected to the first feeding rod. Closing operation of the closing part (the first holding member and the second holding member are moved closer to each other to cause the sealing member to bulge and deform in the circumferential direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the sealing member is brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe. Operation).
[0028]
Furthermore, a connecting arm having an engaging step portion that matches an engaging step portion of a connecting arm provided on one end side of another second feeding rod is provided on the other end side of the second feeding rod, and a shaft A retaining cylinder that slides in the direction and covers the outer periphery of the engaging step portion of the connecting arm, and is interposed between the retaining cylinder and the connecting arm, and the retaining cylinder is engaged with the engaging step of the connecting arm. By providing a resilient spring that biases the outer circumference of the part, it is easy to add another second feeding rod to the second feeding rod as necessary, and the position to install the blocking part is not used. Even inside the supply pipe, it is possible to easily cope with it.
[0029]
Also, a support ring formed in the shape of a circular ring slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the unused supply pipe between the first feeding rod and the second feeding rod or between the second feeding rod and another second feeding rod. Therefore, even when the second feeding rod is connected to the first feeding rod or when another second feeding rod is added to increase the total length of the feeding rod, the feeding rod does not bend midway. In other words, if the feed rod is bent in the middle, the axial center direction of the closed part is shifted from the axial direction of the unused supply pipe due to the influence, and the outer peripheral surface of the seal member is exactly aligned with the inner peripheral surface of the unused supply pipe. Although not in close contact, the present invention eliminates such concerns.
