Description

  The present invention relates to a waterproof structure for a gas stopper used by being attached to a gas pipe or a gas appliance.

A normal gas stopper has a structure in which a closure (plug) incorporated in a gas stopper body is opened and closed with a handle. A handle attachment port is formed on the side of the gas plug main body in order to incorporate the closer into the gas plug main body and to connect the closure to the handle.
In the case of such a gas stopper, there is usually only a part of the metal touch between the handle attachment port of the gas stopper body and the handle, and it is not waterproof. May cause trouble.
Therefore, there is a proposal to install a waterproof packing between the gas plug body and the handle.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-37672 The waterproof structure of a gas stopper disclosed in this patent document (utility model publication) 1 passes through a main body having a fluid inlet / outlet on both sides and a tapered sliding surface. A handle having a hole and having a tapered sliding surface that matches the tapered sliding surface of the main body is mounted, and a handle that transmits rotation to the plug while pressing the plug through a spring is provided. In the cock connected to the main body and opening and closing the fluid flow path by restricting the rotation of the handle to a predetermined angle, a gap is provided between the main body and the flange of the handle, and the gap is made of synthetic resin or the like. A gasket having a V-shaped cross section made of an elastic body is mounted.

However, the waterproof structure of the gas stopper (gas cock) disclosed in Patent Document 1 has the following drawbacks.
1. Since the gasket made of an elastic body is formed in a V-shaped cross section, the gasket is deformed into a compressed state when it is attached.
For this reason, stress concentrates on the V-shaped base, and over time, fatigue concentrates on the base, and the elastic force is reduced and the adhesion is reduced.
2. Since the gasket is V-shaped, the adhesion force is determined by the elastic force of the base.
For this reason, since there is a limit to the adhesion, in Patent Document 1, a metal split ring is sandwiched between V-shaped. However, when the metal split ring is sandwiched in this way, the flexibility of the gasket is greatly restricted, and the rotational torque of the handle becomes large, resulting in poor usability.
3. In the case of a V-type gasket, there is only one point of contact on the handle side and two points on the gas plug body side, and in particular, there is only one point of contact on the handle side. As it is not so expensive.

The object of the present invention is to improve the waterproof structure of the gas stopper described in Patent Document 1 described above. The first object is to provide a gas stopper that has high adhesion and that does not decrease over time. It is to provide a waterproof structure.
Furthermore, the second object is to provide a waterproof structure for the gas stopper in which the rotational torque of the handle does not increase so much even if the adhesion force is increased by increasing the elastic force of the waterproof packing itself and increasing the elastic force. It is to be.
Furthermore, the third purpose is to devise the shape of the waterproof packing, the shape of the waterproof packing mounting portion on the gas plug body side, and the shape on the handle side so that the adhesion area is increased while increasing the adhesion force by the elastic force of the waterproof packing. It is to provide a waterproof structure in a gas stopper that has been refined.

In order to achieve the above object, in the first aspect of the present invention, a waterproof packing mounting portion having an L-shaped cross section consisting of a vertical wall and a horizontal wall is formed outside the outer peripheral surface of the handle mounting port of the gas plug body, In the handle main body attached to the handle attachment port of the gas plug main body, a waterproof packing contact surface is formed on a surface of the gas plug main body facing the horizontal wall of the waterproof packing mounting portion. The waterproof packing to be mounted between the waterproof packing mounting portion and the waterproof packing contact surface of the handle body is a cross-sectional tilt formed by bending the horizontal contact surface and the inner edge of the horizontal contact surface in the vertical direction to form the vertical contact surface. An L-shaped low-elasticity packing main body, and a compression unit that is mounted between the horizontal contact surface and the vertical contact surface and has a lower surface protruding downward from a lower end of the vertical contact surface It consists of a highly elastic ring formed a square cross section, the one in which the low elastic packing body characterized by comprising the low-elasticity material having a lower elasticity than the high elastic ring.

Furthermore, in the present invention, it is desirable that the low-elasticity packing body of the waterproof packing is made of nitrile rubber, and the high-elasticity ring is made of sponge rubber such as ethylene rubber, chlorobrene rubber, nitrile rubber, or silicone rubber.

In the present invention, to form a vertical wall and a horizontal wall waterproof packing mounting portion of the gas valve Body, waterproof packings has a vertical contact portion in close contact with the vertical wall, close contact with the waterproof packing contact surface of the handle the body by providing the low elastic packing body formed with a horizontal contact surface for waterproof packing is in close contact with each surface to the gas plug the body and handle the body.
As a result, the waterproof effect is remarkably enhanced as compared with the conventional V-shaped gasket.

In addition, the waterproof packing of this invention forms the compression part in the lower part of a highly elastic ring, the elasticity is improved by the compression action of this compression part, and the adhesive force is increased. On the other hand low elastic packing the body, the low elasticity to ensure water tightness, even if the sag in over time in this low elastic packing the body occurs, there is a lasting effect the adhesion of an elastic action of the highly elastic ring .
Further, the waterproof packing of the present invention uses a low elastic material such as nitrile rubber for the low elastic packing body that contacts the rotating surface of the handle, so that the rotational torque of the handle does not increase even if the adhesion force is increased.

The close contact surface 21 is brought into close contact with the waterproof packing contact surface 15 of the handle main body 11, and the compression portion 25 of the high elastic ring 24 is brought into close contact with the horizontal wall 8, whereby the high elastic ring 24 is compressed with the gas stopper main body 1. It is assembled between the handle bodies 11.
In this state, as shown well in FIG. 2, the low-elasticity packing body 23 of the waterproof packing 20 is changed into the gas stopper body 1 and the handle body 1 by the elastic action of the compressed high-elasticity ring 24. Extruded from the inside to increase the adhesion and secure the waterproof effect.
In the first embodiment, nitrile rubber is used for the low-elasticity packing body 23 and sponge rubber of ethylene propylene rubber is used for the high-elasticity ring 24. However, a combination of low-elasticity and high-elasticity is assumed. As long as other materials are used, they may be used.
