Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a protective tube made of synthetic resin and a sheath tube that protect flexible fluid tubes such as a water supply pipe and a hot water supply pipe disposed on a floor surface or a wall surface of a structure.

  In general, when a fluid pipe such as a hot water supply pipe or a heating pipe is installed in a structure such as a detached house or a high-rise house, it is made of a flexible synthetic resin that is arranged in advance on the floor or wall surface of the structure. A double piping method is employed in which a flexible fluid pipe is inserted into the protective pipe or the sheath pipe. In the case of this double piping method, although the construction and maintenance of the fluid pipe can be facilitated and streamlined, the fluid pipe is protected or sheathed by the undulation of the fluid pipe due to the water hammer phenomenon. There is a problem that a sound is generated by colliding with the inner wall surface.

Therefore, as a measure for suppressing the occurrence of collision sound due to the undulation of the fluid pipe due to such a water hammer phenomenon, conventionally, as shown in FIG. The V-shaped punching wall portion 50A is formed as a buffer protrusion that can come into contact with the inserted fluid pipe 2 from the radial direction. In addition, there has been proposed a sheath tube in which the opening width W in the circumferential direction at the base end of the V-shaped punching wall portion 50A is configured to be larger than the maximum thickness of the corrugated flexible tube 50 (for example, a patent). Reference 1).
Further, as shown in FIG. 15, a flexible synthetic resin buffer tube having buffering properties closely contacting the inner wall surface 60a of the corrugated flexible tube 60 along the valley portion 60B and the peak portion 60A thereof. The buffer projections 62 are formed in a straight line or arcuately inward in the radial direction with the same thickness as the corrugated flexible tube 60 at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction on the inner wall surface 61a of the buffer tube 61. A sheath tube is also proposed in which the fluid tube 2 is formed integrally and supported by the tips of the plurality of buffer projections 62 (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 7-43058 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-311462

  In the former former sheath tube, when the fluid tube 2 inserted in the corrugated flexible tube 50 is corrugated due to the water hammer phenomenon, a plurality of V-shapes that are in direct contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 2 are used. Although the impact expansion force caused by the undulation of the fluid pipe 2 can be buffered by the elastic expansion and deformation of the launch wall 50A and the bending deformation of the circumferential wall of the corrugated flexible pipe 50 toward the radially outer side, the corrugated flexible pipe can be buffered. Under the condition that the outer wall surface of 50 is constrained by a fixed object, the cushioning function is lowered, and the presence of the relatively rigid V-shaped launch wall portion 50A makes it difficult for the corrugated flexible tube 50 to bend. The pipe 50 and the fluid pipe 2 are likely to be deteriorated in workability of piping.

  Further, in the conventional latter sheath tube, when the fluid tube 2 inserted in the corrugated flexible tube 60 is corrugated due to the water hammer phenomenon, the buffer protrusion 62 that directly contacts the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 2. Although the fluid pipe 2 can buffer the impact force caused by the undulation by the elastic deformation of the buffer pipe 61 and the elastic deformation of the buffer pipe 61 formed on the inner wall surface 60 a of the corrugated flexible pipe 60, The buffer tube 61 that is in close contact with the 60a is integrally formed, and the buffer protrusions 62 are also integrally formed at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 61a of the buffer tube 61. The corrugated flexible tube 60 is difficult to bend, and the workability of the corrugated flexible tube 60 and the fluid tube 2 is greatly reduced.

  In particular, since the fluid pipe 2 is supported by the tip of the buffer protrusion 62 projecting in a cantilever manner on the inner wall surface 61 a of the buffer pipe 61, It is necessary to ensure the thickness in the circumferential direction at least equal to or greater than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube 60, and it is easy to promote a decrease in bending characteristics of the corrugated flexible tube 60.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its main problem is to maintain the high piping workability by suppressing the weight of the flexible tube or the corrugated flexible tube and the deterioration of the bending characteristics. However, it is effective in suppressing the occurrence of collision noise due to the undulation of the fluid pipe caused by the water hammer phenomenon.

Plurality of circumferential locations on the inner wall surface of the bendable synthetic resin flexible tube for inserting a flexible fluid tube, buffer projection projecting radially inwards a protective tube which is integrally formed,
Each of the buffer protrusions is composed of a thin plate-like piece in a cantilever state having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the flexible tube and curved or bent in a direction opposite to the inner wall surface of the flexible tube when viewed in the tube axis direction. In addition, each thin plate-like piece is curved or bent in the reverse warping direction until the tip is closer to the inner wall surface of the flexible tube than the intermediate position in the protruding direction when viewed from the tube axis direction. The tip of the piece may be configured to come into contact with the inner wall surface of the flexible tube as the thin plate-like piece is elastically deformed by contact with the inserted fluid pipe .

According to the above Ki構 formed, when the fluid tube is inserted through the flexible tube due to the water hammer phenomenon is wavy, flexible tube shock projections fluid tube which is protruded in the circumferential direction a plurality of locations of the inner wall surface of the The impact force due to the undulation of the fluid pipe can be reduced by elastically deforming with the contact with the fluid pipe. In particular, in the present invention, each of the buffer protrusions is smaller than the thickness of the flexible pipe. Since each of the thin plate-like pieces itself is a flexible tube, it is formed of a cantilevered thin piece that is bent or bent in a direction opposite to the inner wall surface of the flexible tube when viewed in the tube axis direction. It is easy to smoothly follow and deform the bending, and the influence on the bending characteristics of the flexible tube can be reduced.

  Nevertheless, since the tip of each thin plate-like piece comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the flexible tube due to the elastic deformation of the thin plate-like piece due to contact with the inserted fluid pipe, the thin plate-like piece is in the tube axis direction view. The shape of the thin plate-like piece in which the gap is formed between the inner wall surface of the flexible tube and the thickness of the thin plate-like piece is smaller than the thickness of the flexible tube, and is close to the both-end support. The impact force received from the fluid pipe can be effectively reduced by utilizing the spring property.

  Moreover, since the base end side of each thin plate-like piece is directly formed integrally with the inner wall surface of the flexible tube, the weight of the entire flexible tube is increased compared to the case where a buffer tube is formed in the flexible tube. While being able to suppress, inhibiting the bending characteristic of a flexible tube can also be suppressed.

  Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of collision sound due to the undulation of the fluid pipe caused by the water hammer phenomenon while maintaining the high piping workability by suppressing the weight of the flexible pipe and the deterioration of the bending characteristics. In addition, since the amount of resin used per unit length of the entire flexible tube can be greatly reduced, it is possible to provide the market with a high silencing effect advantageously in terms of cost.

The first characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that the corrugated flexible tube made of a bendable synthetic resin that passes through a flexible fluid pipe has a plurality of locations on the inner wall surface in the circumferential direction, and is more radial than the inner circumferential surface of the valley portion. A sheath tube integrally formed with a buffer protrusion projecting inward,
Each of the buffer protrusions is a thin plate-like piece in a cantilever state having a thickness smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube and being curved or bent in a direction opposite to the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube when viewed in the tube axis direction. together and a respective thin plate piece is curved or bent in the opposite camber direction leading end in the pipe axis direction as viewed to near becomes state on the inner wall surface of the wave-shaped flexible tube than the projection direction intermediate position The tip of each thin plate-like piece is configured to come into contact with the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube along with the elastic deformation of the thin plate-like piece due to contact with the inserted fluid pipe ,
Each of the thin plate-like pieces is a melt whose base end is continuous over the entire area in the tube axis direction on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube along the crests and valleys constituting the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube. In the attached or fused state, it is formed integrally and continuously over the entire region in the tube axis direction .

  According to the above characteristic configuration, when the fluid pipe inserted into the corrugated flexible pipe undulates due to the water hammer phenomenon, the buffer protrusions that are formed to project at a plurality of circumferential positions on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible pipe are fluid. By elastically deforming along with the contact with the tube, the impact force due to the undulation of the fluid tube can be reduced. In particular, in the present invention, each of the buffer protrusions is less than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube. Since each of the thin plate-like pieces itself is composed of a cantilevered thin piece that is curved or bent in a direction opposite to the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube when viewed in the tube axis direction with a small thickness. It is easy to smoothly follow and deform the bending of the corrugated flexible tube, and the influence on the bending characteristics of the corrugated flexible tube can be reduced.

  Nevertheless, since the tip of each thin plate-like piece comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube as the thin plate-like piece is elastically deformed by contact with the inserted fluid pipe, the thin plate-like piece is viewed in the tube axis direction. In this embodiment, the thickness of the thin plate-like piece is smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube, but a gap is formed between the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube. The impact force received from the fluid pipe can be effectively reduced by utilizing the excellent spring property.

  Moreover, since the base end side of each thin plate-shaped piece is directly formed integrally with the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube, the weight of the entire corrugated flexible tube is larger than when a buffer tube is formed in the corrugated flexible tube. Can be suppressed, and the bendability of the corrugated flexible tube can also be inhibited.

  Therefore, while suppressing the weight of the corrugated flexible pipe and the deterioration of the bending characteristics and maintaining high piping workability, it effectively suppresses the occurrence of collision sound due to the wave of the fluid pipe due to the water hammer phenomenon. In addition, since the amount of resin used per unit length of the entire corrugated flexible tube can be greatly reduced, it is possible to provide the market with a high silencing effect advantageously in terms of cost.

In addition, buffer projections projecting radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the valley portion at a plurality of locations on the inner wall surface of the bendable synthetic resin corrugated flexible tube that is inserted through the flexible fluid tube. in the sheath tube are integrally formed,
Each of the buffer protrusions is bent or bent in a direction opposite to the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube in a tube axis direction view with a thickness smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube, and in the curved or bent direction. You may be comprised from the thin plate-shaped piece integrally formed in the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube at both ends .

According to the above Ki構 formed, when the fluid tube is inserted into the waveform flexible tube due to the water hammer phenomenon is wavy, cushioning protrusions which are protruded in the circumferential direction a plurality of locations of the inner wall surface of the waveforms flexible tube Is elastically deformed along with the contact with the fluid pipe, the impact force due to the undulation of the fluid pipe can be reduced. In particular, in the present invention, each of the buffer protrusions is formed of a corrugated flexible pipe. Since it is made of thin plate-like pieces that are smaller than the thickness and are curved or bent in the direction of warping against the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube when viewed from the tube axis direction, each thin plate-like piece itself can be waved. It is easy to smoothly follow and deform the bending of the flexible tube, and the influence on the bending characteristics of the corrugated flexible tube can be reduced.

  Still, since both ends in the bending or bending direction of each thin plate-like piece are integrally formed on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube, while configuring the thickness of the thin plate-like piece smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube, It is possible to effectively relieve the impact force received from the fluid pipe by utilizing the excellent spring property of the thin plate-shaped piece in which a gap is formed between the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible pipe, and further, the corrugated flexibility. Compared with the case where a buffer tube is formed in the tube, an increase in weight of the entire corrugated flexible tube can be suppressed, and inhibition of the bendability of the corrugated flexible tube can also be suppressed.

  Therefore, while suppressing the weight of the corrugated flexible pipe and the deterioration of the bending characteristics and maintaining high piping workability, it effectively suppresses the occurrence of collision sound due to the wave of the fluid pipe due to the water hammer phenomenon. In addition, since the amount of resin used per unit length of the entire corrugated flexible tube can be greatly reduced, it is possible to provide the market with a high silencing effect advantageously in terms of cost.

The second characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that the corrugated flexible tube made of a bendable synthetic resin that passes through the flexible fluid pipe is arranged at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible pipe. A sheath tube integrally formed with a buffer protrusion projecting inward,
A plurality of the buffer projections are formed so as to have a thickness smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube, and are formed so as to have an opposing interval smaller than the opposing interval between the buffer projections when viewed in the tube axis direction. It consists of a thin plate piece,
Each of the thin plate-like pieces is a melt whose base end is continuous over the entire area in the tube axis direction on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube along the crests and troughs constituting the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube. In the attached or fused state, it is formed integrally and continuously over the entire region in the tube axis direction .

  According to the above characteristic configuration, when the fluid pipe inserted into the corrugated flexible pipe undulates due to the water hammer phenomenon, the buffer protrusions formed to protrude at a plurality of circumferential directions on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible pipe are provided. By elastically deforming with the contact with the fluid pipe, the impact force due to the undulation of the fluid pipe can be alleviated. In particular, in the present invention, each of the buffer protrusions has a thickness of the corrugated flexible pipe. Since a plurality of thin plate-like pieces each having a smaller thickness are formed as a group, the plurality of thin plate-like pieces constituting each buffer protrusion smoothly follow the bending of the corrugated flexible tube. It is easy to do and the influence which it has on the bending characteristic of a corrugated flexible tube can be made small.

  Nevertheless, while constituting the thickness of each thin plate-like piece smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube, it is possible to effectively relieve the impact force received from the fluid tube with a plurality of thin plate-like pieces formed in an aggregate, Furthermore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the weight of the entire corrugated flexible tube as compared with the case where a buffer tube is formed in the corrugated flexible tube, and also to inhibit the bendability of the corrugated flexible tube. Can do.

  Therefore, while suppressing the weight of the corrugated flexible pipe and the deterioration of the bending characteristics and maintaining high piping workability, it effectively suppresses the occurrence of collision sound due to the wave of the fluid pipe due to the water hammer phenomenon. In addition, since the amount of resin used per unit length of the entire corrugated flexible tube can be greatly reduced, it is possible to provide the market with a high silencing effect advantageously in terms of cost.

Further, the base end of the thin plate-like piece may be integrally formed continuously over the entire region in the tube axis direction on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube .

According to the above configuration, since the waist on the base end side of the thin plate-like piece integrally formed continuously along the crests and troughs on the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube becomes strong, the spring property of the thin plate-like piece The impact force received from the fluid pipe can be reduced more effectively.
A third characteristic configuration according to the present invention relates to a double piping structure for water supply and hot water supply, and a water supply hot water supply pipe as the fluid pipe is inserted into the corrugated flexible tube according to either the first or second characteristic configuration. It is in the point.
A fourth characteristic configuration according to the present invention is a double-pipe structure for hot and cold water supply in which a hot water supply hot water pipe as the fluid pipe is inserted into the corrugated flexible pipe described in the first characteristic configuration.
When the tip of each thin plate piece comes into contact with the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube by the contact between the water supply and hot water pipe and each thin plate piece, the inner wall surface and each thin plate piece facing each other The gap is formed such that a gap allowing elastic deformation of each thin plate-like piece outward in the radial direction is formed.

Cantilever that is curved or bent in a direction opposite to the inner wall surface 1a of the corrugated flexible tube 1 when viewed in the tube axis X direction with a thickness t3 smaller than the thicknesses t1 and t2 of the crest 1A and the trough 1B. Since the thin plate-like piece 3 itself is configured to smoothly follow and deform the bending of the corrugated flexible tube 1, the influence on the bending characteristics of the corrugated flexible tube 1 can be reduced. it can.

  Nevertheless, the tip 3a of each thin plate-like piece 3 comes into contact with the inner wall surface 1a of the corrugated flexible tube 1 along with the elastic deformation of the thin plate-like piece 3 due to contact with the inserted water supply and hot water supply pipe 2. The piece 3 is in a form close to both-end support in the tube axis X direction view, and the thickness t3 of the thin plate-like piece 3 is smaller than the thickness of the corrugated flexible tube 1, but the inner wall surface of the corrugated flexible tube 1 The impact force received from the hot water / hot water supply pipe 2 can be effectively reduced by utilizing the excellent spring property of the thin plate-like piece 3 in which the gap S is formed between 1a and 1a.

Next, a method for manufacturing the sheath tube 1 configured as described above using a blow molding machine A as shown in FIGS.
In the blow molding machine A, the upper half side of the outer wall surface 1b of the corrugated flexible tube 1 is located on both sides of the blow molding center line passing through the center line of the die 6 and the tube axis X of the corrugated flexible tube 1 to be blow molded. A first circulation path R for circulating and moving a large number of divided molds 5A having a semi-cylindrical tube wall forming surface 4A with respect to the outer wall surface, and a lower half side outer wall surface in the outer wall surface 1b of the corrugated flexible tube 1 A second circulation path L that circulates and moves a large number of divided molds 5B having a cylindrical surface-shaped tube wall molding surface 4B, and an annular ring formed in the die 6 of the circulation paths R and L.

Die 5A, 5B at the end of the molding path And it is configured to move toward and.

  Further, the die 6 of the blow molding machine A has an annular first resin extrusion port 7 for continuously extruding a heat-softened parison 8 for molding the corrugated flexible tube 1, and a first resin extrusion port 7. And an air outlet 9 for injecting pressurized air for pressing the heat-softened parison 8 continuously extruded from the pipe wall molding surfaces 4A and 4B of the split molds 5A and 5B with a blow pressure. In addition, at each of the four locations that are equally spaced in the circumferential direction of the first resin extrusion port 7 of the die 6, a heat-softened thin plate or film plate shape for forming the thin plate-like piece 3 that is a buffer protrusion is formed. In order to extrude the resin 8A on the inner wall surface of the parison 8 in a continuous fusion or fusion state, the tube axis X has a thickness t3 smaller than the thicknesses t1 and t2 at the peak 1A and valley 1B of the corrugated flexible tube 1.
