Japanese Patent No. 3679049 JP 2000-78720 A

  However, the coupling for unthreaded conduits in which the ring nuts (N) and (N) disclosed in Patent Document 1 are screwed and fastened to the both ends of the opening of the coupling body (C) from the front-rear direction in an “internally fitted state”. And the cap nuts (2) and (2) shown in FIGS. 19 to 22 are screwed and fastened to the both ends of the coupling body (3) in the “externally fitted state” from the front-rear direction. In any of the configurations of the coupling for the conduitless pipe, the female thread (19) (19) on the coupling body (C) side or the male thread (3a) (3a) on the coupling body (3) side is used. On the other hand, the final point of time for screwing the male screws (24) (24) on the ring nut (N) (N) side and the female screws (2a) (2a) on the cap nut (2) (2) side is unknown. Yes, there is no standard (indicator) that is necessarily constant. The tightening force of the nut (N) (N) and cap nut (2) (2), produce intensity variations among workers involved, it is impossible to ensure the stability and strength of the tightening state.

  Further, no matter how strongly the operator tightens the ring nut (N) (N) or the cap nut (2) (2), the female screw (19) (19) on the coupling body (C) side The male screw (24) (24) on the ring nut (N) (N) side is maintained in a screwed state, and the male screw (3a) (3a) on the coupling body (3) side and the cap nut ( 2) The female screw (2a) (2a) on the (2) side is still kept in a screwed state, and the compression compression of the waterproof ring packing (21) (21) and the waterproof rubber packing (1) (1) Since the restoring tension accompanying the deformation continues to act in the urging direction in which the ring nut (N) (N) and the cap nut (2) (2) are always screwed (relaxed), the waterproof ring Packing (21) (21) and waterproof rubber packing (1) (1) are deteriorated and damaged early. Of course, the ring nut (N) (N) and cap nut ( 2) (2) is easily relaxed quickly and may cause the conduit tube (P) to come off unintentionally, and the waterproof effect cannot be maintained.

  The present invention aims to improve such a problem, and in order to achieve the object, in claim 1, a substantially cylindrical joint body capable of receiving unthreaded conduit pipes inserted from both front and rear ends,

  In order to fix the conduits, at least a pair of front and rear conduit retainer bolts that are implanted and screwed so as to freely advance and retract from the outer peripheral direction of the joint body;

  A pair of male screws each engraved with a certain length on the outer peripheral surfaces of both front and rear ends of the joint body;

  A pair of front and rear cap nuts, in which a female screw to be screwed and fastened with each male screw is engraved on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion by a certain length, and a packing receiving flange is projected inwardly from the base end portion When,

  It can be pre-assembled and set in a packing receiving concave circumferential groove having a constant opening diameter secured between the end portion where the female screw is engraved in each cap nut and reaching the packing receiving flange. A waterproof elastic ring packing of a size and a sliding ring for preventing the packing from being worn out,

  By screwing the female thread of each nut, which is assembled and set in parallel with the elastic ring packing and the sliding ring in advance into the groove receiving concave circumferential groove, along the male thread of the joint body, While crimping the ring packing to the outer peripheral surface of the conduit tube in a neck-tight state,

  As soon as the final point of the screwing operation is reached, the smooth concave peripheral surface that allows the female screw of the cap nut to get over the male screw of the joint body and become non-threaded is provided with the male screw in the joint body. The outer diameter is smaller than the diameter of the ridge.

  In addition, in claim 2, the insertion screw mouth tube at the base end is inserted into and fixed to various structures such as a relay box, while the substantially cylindrical joint body capable of receiving the unthreaded conduit tube inserted from the distal end portion;

  In order to fix the conduit tube, at least one conduit tube presser bolt that is implanted and screwed so as to be freely advanced and retracted from the outer peripheral direction of the joint body;

  A male thread carved in a certain length on the outer peripheral surface of the tip of the joint body;

  A cap nut in which a female screw to be screwed and fastened with the male screw is engraved on the inner peripheral surface of the distal end portion by a certain length, while a packing receiving flange is projected inwardly from the base end portion,

  A size that can be pre-assembled and set into a packing receiving concave circumferential groove having a constant opening diameter secured between the end of the cap nut engraved with the female screw and reaching the packing receiving flange. And an elastic ring packing for waterproofing and a sliding ring for preventing the packing from fraying,

  By screwing the female screw of the cap nut in which the elastic ring packing and the sliding ring are preliminarily assembled and set in the packing receiving concave circumferential groove along the male screw of the joint body, While crimping the ring packing to the outer peripheral surface of the conduit tube in a neck-tight state,

  As soon as the final point of the screwing operation is reached, the smooth concave peripheral surface that allows the female screw of the cap nut to get over the male screw of the joint body and become non-threaded is provided with the male screw in the joint body. The outer diameter is smaller than the diameter of the ridge.

  In claim 3, the fixed length of the male screw carved on the outer peripheral surface of the joint body and the fixed length of the female screw carved on the inner peripheral surface of the cap nut are sized approximately equally,

  The fixed length of the smooth concave peripheral surface formed on the outer peripheral surface of the joint body is set to be larger than the fixed length on which the male screw is engraved.

  In claim 4, the constant opening diameter of the packing receiving concave circumferential groove secured on the inner peripheral surface of the cap nut is set larger than the valley diameter of the female screw,

  Similarly, the fixed length of the concave groove for receiving the packing is larger than the total dimension obtained by adding the fixed length of the elastic ring packing and the fixed thickness of the sliding ring, and the fixed length on which the external thread is engraved is added to the total dimension. Further, the relationship is set smaller than the added total dimension.

  Further, in claim 5, the elastic ring packing for waterproofing is made of ethylene propylene rubber, chloropyrene rubber, or other elastic material and has a substantially U-shaped cross section provided with a concave circumferential groove for assisting elastic deformation at the center of the outer peripheral surface. While modeling,

  The sliding ring for preventing the ring packing from being broken is made of a hard synthetic resin material into a plate shape having substantially the same outer diameter as the ring packing.

  According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, when the operator turns the cap nut and causes the female screw at the tip thereof to advance along the male screw of the joint body, the cap nut is tightened. The elastic ring packing that gradually expands and deforms in response to the compressive force is strongly pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the screwless conduit.

  And finally, when the female screw on the side of the cap nut gets over the male screw on the side of the joint body and reaches the smooth concave peripheral surface on the side of the joint body parallel to the terminal end of the male screw, The female screw and the male screw on the joint body side are not screwed.

  Therefore, as a worker, when the tightening force (resistance) that has been received by the rotating operation hand until then reaches the maximum, it feels momentarily released (disappears), so that the cap nut is screwed ( It can be known that the tightening action has ended.

  In other words, the uniform tightening state can be easily obtained by any worker using the feeling that the screwed state between the male screw and the female screw is eliminated as a constant (indicator) that is constant and constant. The problem is surely solved.

  In that case, even if the male screw on the joint body side and the female screw on the cap nut side are not screwed together, the tightening force of the cap nut is terminated under the strongest condition. As a result of the restoring tension accumulated with the elastic deformation (compression deformation by the cap nut) continues to work on the cap nut, vibration, impact, etc. Even if the external force is received, there is no possibility that the cap nut will naturally be screwed (relaxed). A complete retaining effect and waterproofing effect of the conduit are obtained, and the durability is also excellent.

  In particular, if the configuration of claim 3 is adopted, the fixed length of the male screw engraved on the outer peripheral surface of the joint body is substantially equal to the fixed length of the female screw engraved on the inner peripheral surface of the cap nut. In addition to ensuring that the cap nut tightening force is as strong as possible and ensuring a stable threaded fastening condition, the cap nut side female screw is connected to the fitting body side male screw with a smooth concave circumference. It can be moved over to the surface without difficulty, and its operability is improved.

  Further, if the configuration of claim 4 is adopted, the elastic ring packing for waterproofing and the sliding ring for preventing packing breakage are placed in parallel in the bag of the concave groove for receiving the packing in the cap nut. It can be securely assembled and set, and from the ready state where the female screw on the cap nut side is screwed into the male screw on the joint body side, so to speak, it is smoothly stabilized along the male screw on the joint body. The elastic ring packing is subjected to the action of the sliding ring and properly compressed and deformed by itself, and the final conduit is fixed and waterproof. Will become more and more stable.

  Furthermore, if the structure of Claim 5 is employ | adopted, the elastic ring packing which received the tightening compression force of the cap nut will expand and deform more and more smoothly by the concave circumferential groove for assisting its elastic deformation, and It will be crimped to the outer peripheral surface in a neck-tight state. Moreover, there is an effect that it can be held between the packing receiving flange and the packing receiving flange so as not to be distorted and deformed illegally by sliding rings interposed in parallel.

  Hereinafter, the specific configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 11 are used as connection pipes between unthreaded thick steel conduits (cable protection steel pipes) as a first embodiment of the present invention. 1 shows a joint (coupling) (C1), wherein (1) is a joint body (coupling body) of a zinc die-cast product, and has a certain length (L1) as shown in FIGS. ), An opening diameter (d1) (for example, about 34 mm) and a thickness (t1) (for example, about 3 mm).

  (2) is a strip-shaped ring flange having a large diameter (for example, an outer diameter of about 42.5 mm) formed as a pair of symmetrically distributed arrangements, which is continuously extended integrally from the outer peripheral surface of the body portion of the joint body (1). , (3) are a pair of symmetrical front and rear convex seats that are continuously raised integrally by a certain height (for example, about 1 mm) from the large outer peripheral surface of both ring flanges (2), and have a circular shape in plan view. Presents.

  The thickness of the joint body (1) is thickest at the protruding portion of each convex seat (3), and a screw hole (4) for receiving a presser bolt is formed therethrough. Yes. (5) is a conduit retainer bolt that is implanted and screwed from the outer peripheral direction of the joint body (1) through the screw holes (4) so that the joint body (1) can be moved forward and backward. It is made of a metal material that does not rust, such as stainless steel.

  Each presser bolt (5) is provided with a conical head (5a) having approximately the same size as the convex seat (3), and a screw shaft portion (5b) screwed and fastened to the screw hole (4). In the center of the conical head (5a), a regular hexagonal locking operation groove (6) for a turning operation tool is cut out.

  By inserting and locking a thin hexagonal bar wrench (not shown) of the turning operation tool into the locking groove (6) of each presser bolt (5) and screwing along the screw hole (4), The tip of the screw shaft portion (5b) is strongly pressed and fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the screwless conduit (P).

  (7) is a waterproof flat packing set between the upper and lower sides of the large conical head (5a) of each presser bolt (5) and the flat top surface of the convex seat (3). It is made of nitrile rubber (NBR) or other elastic material, and functions as a spring washer that keeps the presser bolt (5) in a loosening-prevented state by its elasticity.

  Note that the coupling body (coupling body) (1) of the illustrated embodiment is relatively short and small in length (L1) and opening diameter (d1), as apparent from the above numerical example. Although the number of presser bolts (5), their receiving screw holes (4), and convex seats (3) is provided as a pair of symmetrically arranged distributions, the size of the joint body (1) is increased. In the case of increasing the number of these, or when they are viewed from the front-rear direction of the joint body (1), they are arranged in a symmetrical distribution arrangement that maintains a constant crossing angle (for example, about 60 degrees). You may do it.

  (8) is a conduit partition receiving center partitioning convexity that is located in the middle of the body portion of the joint body (1) and is continuously and inwardly extended from the inner peripheral surface by a certain height (h). Yes, the unthreaded conduit (P) inserted from any direction before and after the joint body (1) reliably receives the cut end face. The overhang height (h) of the center partitioning protrusion (8) is preferably set to a dimension substantially equal to the thickness of the conduit (P).

  Further, (9) is a pair of front and rear male screws carved at a predetermined length (L2) (for example, about 5 mm) on the outer peripheral surface of the body at both ends of the joint body (1), and at least 3 It has a number of threads.

  (10) is a smooth concave peripheral surface having an outer diameter (D1) smaller than the crest diameter of the male screw (9) in the body portion of the joint body (1). As shown in the figure, only a fixed length (L3) (for example, about 6 mm) longer than the length (L2) from the end (back) of the fixed length (L2) in which each male screw (9) is carved. It is formed, and at the final tightening time of the cap nut, which will be described later, the female screw is allowed to get over the male screw (9) of the joint body (1) to be in a non-threaded state. Anyone can surely know the moment of overcoming by the touch of the operator who turns and rotates the cap nut.

  In the case of the illustrated embodiment, the smooth concave peripheral surface (10) of the joint body (1) is placed between the male screw (9) and the belt-shaped ring flange (2) adjacent to each other, and the constant of about 6 mm exemplified above. Only the length (L3) is secured, as long as the fixed length (L3) of the concave peripheral surface (10) is longer than the fixed length (L2) engraved with the male screw (9). It is not necessary to form an overhang of the above-mentioned band-shaped ring flange (2). 3 and 4 indicate a certain depth from the thread of the male screw (9) to the outer diameter (D1) of the concave peripheral surface (10).

  Further, (11) is the same zinc die cast product as the joint body (1), and has a certain length (L4) (for example, about 19 mm) and an outer diameter (D2) (for example, about 46 mm) as shown in FIGS. It is a pair of front and rear cap nuts having a thickness (t2) (for example, about 3 mm) and is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape. A female screw (12) is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the tip portion of a certain length (L5) (for example, about On the other hand, a packing receiving flange (13) is formed so as to project continuously and inwardly from the remaining base end portion. The opening diameter (d2) of the packing receiving flange (13) is about 34.5 mm as an example, and is substantially equal to the opening diameter (d1) of the joint body (1).

  (14) is for a plurality of rotating operation tools (for example, a total of four distributed in a general radial symmetry type) projecting continuously and integrally from the base end portion of each cap nut (11) along the cylinder core direction. A small square operation tool (not shown) such as a monkey wrench is inserted and locked into the locking square piece, and the cap nut (11) is attached to the joint body by light labor with a relatively small tightening torque. It can be fastened to (1).

  In this case, it is assumed that the female screw (12) of each cap nut (11) is screwed and fastened to the male screw (9) on the joint body (1) side, and a fixed length (L2) of the male screw (9). ) Corresponding to the same fixed length (L5) (about 5 mm exemplified above), and as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 11, this is a male screw on the joint body (1) side by screwing operation. As soon as it gets over (9) and reaches the smooth concave peripheral surface (10) on the side of the joint body (1), the threaded state between the male screw (9) and the female screw (12) disappears. There is no possibility that the cap nut (11) is naturally screwed (relaxed) even if it receives vibration or impact during use.

  (15) is the distance from the terminal end (back) engraved by a fixed length (L5) of the female screw (12) in each cap nut (11) to the packing receiving flange (13). A packing receiving concave circumferential groove having a fixed length (L6) (for example, about 10 mm) secured in the opening diameter (d3) (for example, about 42.5 mm) larger than the valley diameter of the female screw (12). ), And a waterproof ring packing (16) and a sliding ring (17) for preventing the packing from being worn out can be received in the bag. The symbol (H) in FIG. 6 suggests a certain depth of depression from the thread valley of the female screw (12) to the opening diameter (d3) of the packing receiving concave circumferential groove (15).

  Furthermore, each waterproof ring packing (16) is made of ethylene propylene rubber (EPM), chloroprene rubber (CR), or other elastic material rich in weather resistance and rebound resilience, as shown in FIGS. The opening diameter (d1) of the joint body (1) and the opening diameter (d2) of the packing receiving flange (13) in the cap nut (11) (d4) (for example, about 34.2 mm), A fixed length (band width) (for example, about 6 mm) larger than the fixed length (L2) (L5) engraved with the male screw (9) and the female screw (12), and the cap nut (11) In the ring shape having an outer diameter (D3) (for example, about 41 mm) smaller than the opening diameter (d3) of the packing receiving concave circumferential groove (15) in The above-mentioned packing receiving concave groove (1 ) It has to be able to set embedded into the bag.

  In addition, a concave circumferential groove (18) for assisting or accelerating the elastic deformation action is cut out at the center of the outer peripheral surface of the ring packing (16), so that it has a substantially U-shaped cross section. Yes. Only when the ring packing (16) receives the compression force of the cap nut (11) against the joint body (1), the ring packing (16) expands inward and crimps to the outer peripheral surface of the conduit (P). It has come to gain.

  Further, the sliding ring (17) for preventing fraying of each ring packing (16) is shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 from a hard synthetic resin material (preferably trade name: Duracon) having wear resistance and self-lubricating properties. The outer ring (D4) and the opening diameter (d5), and a constant thickness (t3) (for example, about 1 mm), which are substantially the same as the above ring packing (16), are prepared in the form of a plate. The ring packing (16) is inserted into the bag of the packing receiving concave circumferential groove (15) in (11) in parallel with the ring packing (16) as shown in FIG. ) Acts as a spacer to prevent the possibility of unauthorized deformation or scraping.

  In this case, as is clear from the numerical values of the dimensions exemplified above, the packing receiving concave circumferential groove (15) of the cap nut (11) slides with the length (band width) (L7) of the waterproof ring packing (16). It has a larger dimension (L6) (about 10 mm) than the dimension (about 7 mm) added to the thickness (t3) of the ring (17), and has a female screw on the cap nut (11) side. The male thread (9) on the side of the joint body (1) screwed to (12) is smaller than the length (band width) (L7) (about 6 mm) of the waterproof ring packing (16). (L2) (about 5 mm).

  As a result, the female thread of the cap nut (11) in which the waterproof ring packing (16) and the slip-off preventing sliding ring (17) are preliminarily incorporated and set in the bag of the packing receiving concave groove (15). If the screw 12 is screwed into the male screw (9) of the joint body (1) as shown in FIGS. 11 (I), (II), and (III), it will gradually receive the tightening compression force of the cap nut (11). The ring packing (16) that expands and deforms strongly presses against the outer peripheral surface of the unthreaded conduit (P) in a so-called neck-tight state, and the female screw (12) on the side of the cap nut (11) As shown in FIG. 11 (III), when the male screw (9) on the joint body (1) side is overcome and the smooth concave surface (10) on the joint body (1) side is reached, the female thread is finally reached. The screwed state between the screw (12) and the male screw (9) is eliminated.

  However, in such a final tightened state of the cap nut (11), as shown in FIG. 11 (III), the restoring tension accompanying the elastic deformation (compression deformation) of the waterproof ring packing (16) is the cap nut ( 11), the cap nut (11) is naturally free to play loosely with respect to the joint body (1), and further, there is no possibility of being screwed (relaxed). Moreover, the waterproof effect of the conduit (P) can also be achieved by the ring packing (16) that is firmly crimped to the outer peripheral surface of the conduit (P).

  When connecting and piping the screwless conduits (P) to each other using the joint (coupling) (C1) for unthreaded conduits of the first embodiment, a waterproof ring is provided in advance as shown in FIG. A pair of front and rear cap nuts (11) in which a packing (16) and a sliding ring (17) for preventing fraying are incorporated and set in the bag of the packing receiving groove (15) are connected to the male screw of the joint body (1). As a preparatory state partially screwed to (9), the outer peripheral surface of the unthreaded conduit (P) inserted into the joint body (1) from the front and rear directions is respectively pressed with a presser bolt (5 ) To fix the presser foot. Needless to say, the cut end face of the conduit (P) inserted from the front-rear direction is received by the center partitioning protrusion (8) of the joint body (1).

  Therefore, the male screw of the joint body (1) is then rotated by a monkey wrench or the like that locks the female screw (12) of the cap nut (11) to the locking square piece (14) for the rotating operation tool. 13 to 14 along (9), and the female screw (12) on the cap nut (11) side is male screw on the joint body (1) side as shown in the final state of FIG. Overcoming (9), tighten until reaching the smooth concave surface (10) on the side of the joint body (1).

  When the female screw (12) on the cap nut (11) side gets over the male screw (9) on the joint body (1) side, the screwed state disappears. You can know by the hand feeling. That is, the tightening force of the cap nut (11) with respect to the joint body (1) and the retaining strength of the unthreaded conduit (P) and the waterproof effect of the conduit (P) by the ring packing (16) Based on the touch (feeling) of the rotating operator that accompanies the final release of the combined state, it can be ensured uniformly at all times, eliminating the instability in which the above actions and effects become inconsistent for each worker. This improves the workability.

  Furthermore, even if the female screw (12) on the side of the cap nut (11) passes over the male screw (9) on the side of the joint body (1) and enters the non-threaded state at the final point, the cap nut (11 ), The restoring tension of the waterproof ring packing (16) that has received the tightening compression force continues to act on the cap nut (11). The pipe (P) can be kept fixed to the joint body (1) in a completely retaining state and waterproofed state, and is excellent in durability.

  12 to 15, the waterproof ring packing (16) and the sliding ring (17) for preventing the fraying of the cap nut (11) are assembled and set in the bag of the packing receiving concave groove (15). The conduit (P) is inserted into the joint body (1) from the prepared state in which the female thread (12) is partially screwed into the male thread (9) of the joint body (1) in advance. However, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 corresponding to FIGS. 12 and 13, the ring packing (16) and the sliding ring (17) for preventing the wear-off are provided in the packing receiving concave circumferential groove (15). The cap nut (11) set in the bag is inserted into the conduit (P) in advance and inserted into the joint body (1) from such a prepared state. Connect the conduit (P) to the presser bolt (5). The cap nut (11), which is fixed by pressing and then screwed to the male screw (9) on the joint main body (1) side, can be screwed with a turning operation tool as shown in FIGS. . The actions and effects finally achieved in such usage are the same as those in the usage shown in FIGS.

  Next, FIG. 20 shows, as a second embodiment of the present invention, a joint (connector) (C2) used for connecting and fixing a threadless thick steel conduit (P) to various structures (B) such as a switchboard and a relay box. (101) is also a zinc die-cast joint body (connector body), which has a certain length (L8) (for example, about 38 mm) and the joint body (coupling body) of the first embodiment. It is shaped into a substantially cylindrical shape having the same opening diameter (d1) and thickness (t1) as (1), but from the distal end portion of the conduit receiving flange (19) projecting inwardly at its proximal end portion. The insertion screw cap cylinder (20) having a smaller diameter than the joint body (connector body) (101) (for example, an outer diameter of about 33 mm) has a fixed length (L9) (for example, about 17 mm) along the cylinder core direction. ) Only continuous overhang It has been. (21) is a male screw carved on the outer peripheral surface of the insertion screw mouth tube (20), and (d6) is an opening diameter of the insertion screw mouth tube (20), and is sized to about 27 mm, for example. .

  And the insertion screw mouth tube (20) of such a joint main body (connector main body) (101) is inserted into various structures (B) such as the relay box as shown in the figure, and then the ring shape is formed from the inside. The lock nut (22) is fastened and fixed. (23) is a waterproof sheet packing that is interposed between the base end portion (back surface) of the joint body (connector body) (101) and the wall surfaces of the various structures (B). It has a constant outer diameter (D5) (for example, about 40 mm) and thickness (for example, about 1.5 mm), and is compressed by receiving the tightening force of the lock nut (22) to make various structures (B) waterproof. keep.

  Further, from the body portion of the joint main body (connector main body) (101), the first and second strip ring flanges (102a) (102b) having large diameters having the same meaning as in the first embodiment have a constant front-rear distance (W ) (For example, about 12 mm) are formed as a pair of parallel projections, and the corresponding first and second convex seats are formed from the large outer peripheral surfaces of the first and second strip ring flanges (102a) and (102b). Each of (103a) and (103b) protrudes continuously by a certain height.
