JP5562146B2 - Control valve for fluid pipe - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention is supported in such a manner that the outer periphery of the fluid pipe is hermetically covered in communication with a perforation formed in the fluid pipe, and the case and the fluid pipe are movably supported by rotation of a non-lifting rotation screw. And a valve for controlling a fluid pipe that shuts off a flow path of the fluid pipe by the valve body.

  In the conventional control valve, a perforation is formed in the fluid pipe in a case where the outer periphery of the fluid pipe is sealed, and the valve body provided in the case is fluidized from the perforation by rotating a rotating screw. There is one that is inserted into a pipe and blocks the flow path of the fluid pipe by elastically deforming the rubber portion of the valve body following the inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe. In such a control valve, a flange is formed in the valve body in the vertical direction, and a groove in which the flange slides in the vertical direction is formed in the case. Accordingly, the valve body can be moved up and down without rotating (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2008-95795 A (page 6, FIG. 4)

  However, in the fluid pipe flow control valve described in Patent Document 1, since both the flange portion of the valve body and the groove portion of the case must be formed, the manufacturing cost increases in the manufacturing process of the flow control valve. There is a problem of getting stuck.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems, and when the flow path of the fluid pipe is blocked by rotating the rotating screw, the valve body can be rotated with a configuration that can be manufactured at low cost. An object of the present invention is to provide a fluid pipe control valve that can be regulated.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the fluid pipe control valve according to the present invention provides:

The case has a branch pipe attached to the fluid pipe, and is connected to the branch pipe in a watertight manner, opens toward the fluid pipe, has a lower end fitted into the perforation, and can accommodate the valve body therein. A valve lid formed with a storage portion, and the storage portion rotates between a storage position for storing the valve element in the storage portion and a blocking position for blocking the flow path of the fluid pipe. It is characterized by being formed in a non-cylindrical shape so as to restrict the rotation of the valve body accompanying the rotation of the valve body.
According to this feature, even if the rotation of the rotation screw is transmitted to the valve body, the valve body is abutted against the inner wall of the storage portion formed in a non-cylindrical shape, so that the rotation of the valve body is restricted. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide a structure for restricting the rotation of the valve body on the valve body side, and the flow regulating valve can be manufactured at low cost while the valve body can be moved between the storage position and the shut-off position. Further, since the lower end portion of the valve lid is fitted in the perforation of the fluid pipe, the valve lid can be stably supported on the fluid pipe by a simple structure, and the valve body can be moved smoothly.

The flow control valve of the fluid pipe of the present invention is
The lower end portion of the valve lid is configured as a core that is fitted in the perforation and prevents the perforation.
According to this feature, the valve lid is watertightly connected to the branch pipe, and at the same time, the bottom end of the valve lid is fitted into the perforation, so that the perforation by the rust preventive member is prevented, so that the perforation is individually rust-proof. There is no need to use a means to do so, and the labor of the installer can be saved.

The flow control valve of the fluid pipe of the present invention is

  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION The form for implementing the control valve | bulb of the fluid pipe | tube which concerns on this invention is demonstrated below based on an Example.

  A water control valve for a fluid pipe according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the water control valve 10 as the current control valve of the present invention mainly communicates with the perforation Q formed in the upper part of the fluid pipe 1 through which the clean water flows. The valve 2 is moved up and down between the case 2 and the fluid pipe 1 by the rotation of the non-lifting rotating screw 4, that is, the axial direction of the rotating screw 4. And shuts off or opens the pipe of the fluid pipe 1. In this embodiment, the non-lifting turning screw 4 is provided so that the turning screw 4 itself does not move in the axial direction by horizontal turning.

The inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe is not limited to the mortar layer, and may be coated with, for example, an epoxy resin, or an appropriate material may be coated on the inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe with powder coating. In the present embodiment, the fluid in the fluid pipe 1 is clean water, but the fluid flowing in the fluid pipe 1 is not necessarily limited to clean water, and may be, for example, industrial water, or may be gas or gas-liquid. It may be a fluid pipe through which a mixed fluid flows.

  The case 2 fixedly attached to the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe 1 is a so-called split T-shaped pipe, and includes a branch pipe 12 and a valve lid 3 having an inner space in the vertical direction substantially orthogonal to the pipe axis of the fluid pipe 1. And a cover 11 covering the lower side of the outer periphery of the fluid pipe 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, first, the branch pipe 12 and the cover 11 are opposed to each other at a position sandwiching the fluid pipe 1 and fastened by a plurality of bolts and nuts 13 arranged along the longitudinal direction of the fluid pipe 1. Here, a rubber ring 22 along the outer periphery of the perforation Q is interposed between the inner surface of the branch pipe 12 and the outer surface of the fluid pipe 1 so that overflow from the inside of the fluid pipe 1 does not occur due to drilling described later. ing. Then, after attaching the cover 11 and the branch pipe 12 to the fluid pipe 1, water pressure is applied to the branch pipe 12 to appropriately confirm the water tightness of the gap between the outer surface of the fluid pipe 1 and the inner face of the branch pipe 12. Also good.

  Next, the casing 35 in which the work valve 36 and the punching device 50 are disposed is connected to the upper flange 12a of the branch pipe 12 in a watertight manner. The perforating apparatus 50 is connected to a driving means (not shown) and extends in the axial direction in the branch pipe 12 toward the fluid pipe 1 and rotates around the axis, and a fluid pipe fixed to the tip of the shaft member 51. The cutter member 52 is provided with a perforating blade 52a for perforating 1 and the cutter member 52 is approached to the outer surface of the fluid pipe 1 to perforate the outer wall. To drill.

  The punching blade 52a is formed so that the tip thereof faces the center of the cutter member 52 from the upper side to the lower side. For this reason, the inner peripheral surface of the perforation Q is formed in a tapered shape that faces the center of the perforation Q from the upper side to the lower side.

  After the drilling Q is drilled by the drilling device 50, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the drilling device 50 is pulled up and disposed in the housing 35, and then the work valve 36 is operated to operate the branch pipe 12. Stop water. Then, the punching device 50 is removed from the upper end portion of the housing 35, and the outer cover 70 is connected to the upper end portion of the housing 35 in a watertight manner. The outer cover 70 is provided with a pair of openings 71, 71 facing sideways, and these openings 71, 71 are watertightly closed by lid bodies 72, 72 and bolts / nuts 73.

  An arm (not shown) is attached to an upper end (not shown) of the outer cover 70 so as to be movable up and down. A valve lid 3 in which a valve body 60 for previously blocking the flow path in the fluid pipe 1 is connected to the lower end portion of the arm via an intermediate member 75. Is attached to the upper end of the outer cover 70, the valve lid 3 is disposed in the outer cover 70. The arm and the upper end of the outer cover 70 are watertightly held by a rubber body (not shown). Further, the intermediate member 75 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and a rotation operation portion 4a described later is inserted and disposed therein.

  After the outer cover 70 is connected to the upper end of the housing 35 in a watertight manner, the branch pipe 12 and the outer cover 70 are connected by a communication member such as a hose or a bypass pipe (not shown) having an on-off valve. Then, an air valve (not shown) provided at the upper end portion of the outer cover 70 is opened, and the working valve 36 is operated to open the branch pipe 12, so that the inside of the outer cover 70 and the inside of the branch pipe 12 are connected to the fluid pipe. Fill with water that was flowing in 1.

  After the inside of the outer cover 70 and the branch pipe 12 are filled with clean water, the air valve is closed, the on-off valve is opened, the branch pipe 12 and the outer cover 70 are communicated, and the valve lid 3 is removed. The valve lid 3 is assembled in a sealed manner to the upper flange 12a of the branch pipe 12 by being pressed in a non-continuous water state by a pressing means (not shown) attached to the cover 70 in advance.

  At this time, the inside of the branch pipe 12 and the inside of the outer cover 70 are filled with the clean water flowing in the fluid pipe 1 and have the same water pressure. Therefore, when the valve lid 3 is assembled to the upper flange 12a, The drag received by the valve lid 3 from the flowing water can be kept small.

  After the valve lid 3 is assembled to the upper flange 12a, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the open / close valve of the communication member is closed and the valve lid 3 is fixed with the fixing bolt 16, and then the lid 72 , 72 is removed, and the intermediate member 75 is removed from the valve lid 3 through the openings 71, 71. And the housing | casing 35 and the outer cover 70 are removed from the upper flange 12a, and the handle | steering-wheel 76 is attached to the rotation operation part 4a.

  The valve lid 3 has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the branch pipe 12, and is watertight along the inner peripheral surface of the branch pipe 12 by an O-ring 19 provided along the outer periphery of the lower portion of the valve lid 3. Is inserted. Further, the position of the valve lid 3 is fixed by screwing a fixing bolt 16 into a screw insertion groove 3f formed on the outer peripheral surface of the valve lid 3 so that the valve lid 3 is fixed. The fixing bolt 16 is screwed into the valve lid 3 to regulate the valve lid 3 in the vertical direction. The distal end of the fixing bolt 16 is formed in a tapered shape that gradually decreases in diameter in the screwing direction, and the tapered tip is screwed into the screw insertion groove 3f. It abuts on the lower end of the groove 3f and presses the valve lid 3 downward.

  In addition, a storage portion 3 a that opens toward the fluid pipe 1 that is below is formed inside the valve lid 3. The storage portion 3a is formed in a non-cylindrical shape that is longer in the left-right width direction than in the front-rear width direction, and the lower portion of the inner wall of the storage portion 3a has a slope that gradually decreases in diameter toward the perforation Q. A first tapered surface 3b is formed over the entire circumference of the storage portion 3a. For this reason, the lower side of the first tapered surface 3b of the storage portion 3a is a narrow portion 3c that is narrower than the upper portion of the storage portion 3a in both the left-right width and the front-rear width.

  On the other hand, the valve body 60 is mainly composed of a valve body (not shown) formed of a casting, a steel material, and the like, and a rubber body 60a made of an elastic material covering almost the entire surface of the valve body. The lower end of is formed in a substantially arc shape that protrudes downward in a front view. The valve body 60 is formed such that the left and right width dimensions and the front and rear width dimensions of the lower portion are substantially the same as the left and right width dimensions and the front and rear width dimensions of the narrow portion 3c, and the lower end portion is disposed in the narrow portion 3c. Is stored in the storage portion 3a. In the present embodiment, the position where the valve body 60 is stored in the storage portion 3a with the lower end portion disposed in the narrow portion 3c is defined as the storage position in the present invention.

  A second taper surface 60 b is formed at the upper part of the valve body 60 over the entire circumference of the valve body 60. The second tapered surface 60 b has an inclination that gradually decreases in diameter toward the lower end of the valve body 60. For this reason, the upper side of the second tapered surface of the valve body 60 is formed to be longer than the lower portion of the valve body 60 in both the left-right width and the front-rear width.

  Moreover, the lower end part of the accommodating part 3a is formed in the curve shape substantially the same as the shape of the piercing | piercing Q, and the outer peripheral surface of the lower end part of the valve cover 3 faces the center of the valve cover 3 from the upper side to the downward side. A rust preventive member 3d that is formed in a taper shape and is made of a resin material or the like for rust preventing the perforations Q is attached to the entire periphery with an adhesive or the like.

  Therefore, when the valve lid 3 is assembled to the upper flange 12a as described above, the lower end portion of the valve lid 3 is fitted into the perforation Q, and the rust preventive member 3d is a perforation where the metal base is exposed. It abuts on the inner peripheral surface of Q while being elastically deformed, and water-stopping of the perforation Q and rust prevention of the inner peripheral surface of the perforation Q are performed. The anticorrosive member 3d is formed from the lower end portion of the valve lid 3 to the inner periphery of the perforation Q by the downward pressing of the valve lid 3 by the tapered tip portion of the fixing bolt 16 and the load of the valve lid 3. Since the surface is constantly pressed toward the surface, it is possible to continue the water blocking of the perforation Q and the rust prevention of the inner peripheral surface of the perforation Q. That is, the lower end portion of the valve lid 3 constitutes the core in this embodiment.

  Furthermore, after the perforation Q is stopped by the rust preventive member 3d, the plug 3e provided on the side of the lower end of the valve lid 3 in the branch pipe 12 is opened to open the inside of the branch pipe 12 and the valve lid 3 In addition to discharging the fluid stored during the period to the outside of the water control valve 10, the amount of fluid stored between the branch pipe 12 and the valve lid 3 is confirmed, so that the perforation by the rust preventive member 3 d is performed. It is judged whether or not the water of Q is sufficiently stopped.

  The rotating screw 4 is rotatably attached to an insertion hole 32 formed in the top of the valve lid 3 so that the upper end protrudes outside the valve lid 3. The holding plate 33 is fixed to the upper end surface of the valve lid 3 with a bolt 34 and prevents the rotation screw 4 from being pulled out. With the above configuration, the rotating screw 4 is rotatable in both forward and reverse directions with respect to the case 2 but does not move up and down. Reference numeral 4b denotes a screw portion having a circumferential surface screwed over substantially the entire length except for the upper end portion of the rotating screw 4.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the screw top 63 is fitted in the guide groove 61 formed in the upper end portion of the valve body 60 and is screwed into the screw portion 4 b, and the upper end of the rotating screw 4. By rotating the screw part 4b according to the rotation of the rotation operation part 4a formed in the part, the valve body 60 can be moved up and down following the screw top 63 screwed along the screw part 4b.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the valve body 60 is formed with an insertion hole 64 into which the screw portion 4 b of the rotating screw 4 is inserted. By pressing the valve lid 3 to which the valve body 60 is attached in this way toward the branch pipe 12 by the pressing means attached in advance to the outer cover after the work valve 36 is opened, The valve lid 3 is assembled in a sealed manner to the upper flange 12 a of the branch pipe 12 while suppressing the drag received by the valve lid 3 from the fluid flowing in the pipe 1, and the fixing bolt 16 is screwed into the valve lid 3.

  Finally, the ring-shaped flange 9 is inserted into the valve lid 3, and the flange 9 and the branch pipe 12 are fastened with bolts and nuts 14. The flange 9 regulates the valve lid 3 in the vertical direction by engaging the inner circumferential portion thereof with the outer circumferential portion of the valve lid 3.

  Next, the operation of blocking and opening the flow path of the fluid pipe 1 by the water control valve 10 attached to the fluid pipe 1 as described above will be described. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the valve body 60 is configured so that the operator can horizontally rotate the handle 76 attached to the rotation operation unit 4 a, and thereby the fluid pipe from the storage position in the storage unit 3 a by the rotation screw 4. 1 is moved toward the inside of the fluid pipe 1 and is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe 1 while being elastically deformed, thereby blocking the flow path of the fluid pipe 1. In the present embodiment, the position where the valve body 60 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe 1 while being elastically deformed to shut off the flow path of the fluid pipe 1 is defined as a blocking position in the present invention.

  In the process of moving the valve body 60 from the storage position toward the shut-off position, the valve body 60 tries to rotate horizontally following the horizontal rotation of the rotation screw 4, and the narrow portion 3c of the storage portion 3a is moved. Contact the inner wall. The valve body 60 moves from the lower end portion to the upper end portion toward the blocking position while sliding on the inner wall of the narrow portion 3c, and is brought into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the fluid pipe 1 while elastically deforming as described above. . At the same time, the first taper surface 3b and the second taper surface 60b are brought into watertight contact over the entire circumference to complete the blocking of the flow path of the fluid pipe 1.

  In addition, when opening the flow path of the fluid pipe 1, by horizontally rotating the handle 76 attached to the rotation operation unit 4a in the direction opposite to when the flow path of the fluid pipe 1 is shut off, The valve body 60 is again brought into contact with the inner wall of the narrow portion 3c. Then, the valve body 60 is moved from the upper end portion to the lower end portion while being in sliding contact with the inner wall of the narrow portion 3c to the storage position in the storage portion 3a, and the opening of the fluid pipe 1 is completed.

  As described above, in the fluid pipe water control valve 10 in this embodiment, the case 2 is connected to the fluid pipe 1 and the branch pipe 12 in a watertight manner and opens toward the fluid pipe 1. And a valve lid 3 in which a storage portion 3a in which the valve body 60 can be stored is formed. The storage portion 3a has a storage position for storing the valve body 60 in the storage portion 3a and a flow path of the fluid pipe 1. Since it is formed in a non-cylindrical shape so as to restrict the rotation of the valve body 60 accompanying the rotation of the rotation screw 4 between the blocking position and the blocking position, the rotation of the rotation screw 4 is the valve body. Even when the valve body 60 is transmitted to the valve body 60, the rotation of the valve body 60 is restricted by contacting the inner wall of the housing portion 3 a formed in a non-cylindrical shape. There is no need to provide a structure for restricting the movement, and the valve body 60 can be moved between the storage position and the shut-off position, and water can be controlled at low cost. It is possible to produce a 10.

  The inner wall of the storage portion 3a is formed with a first taper surface 3b having an inclination that gradually decreases in diameter toward the perforation Q over the entire circumference, and the valve body 60 has a first taper surface. Since the second tapered surface 60b is formed over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction so that the valve body 60 shields the flow path of the fluid pipe 1 by coming into contact with 3b, the valve body 60 passes through the flow path of the fluid pipe 1. When blocking, the first taper surface 3b and the second taper surface 60b come into contact with each other to prevent the fluid in the fluid pipe 1 from entering the storage portion 3a, and the flow path of the fluid pipe 1 is reliably blocked. can do.

  Further, the lower end portion of the valve lid 3 is configured as a core that is fitted into the perforation Q and prevents the perforation Q from being rusted. Therefore, the lower end portion of the valve lid 3 is connected to the branch pipe 12 in a watertight manner. Since the perforation Q is rust-prevented by the rust preventive member 3d by fitting the perforation Q to the perforation Q, it is not necessary to use means for individually preventing the perforation Q and the labor of the installer can be saved. .

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the material of the rust prevention member 3d is a resin material or the like, but the material of the rust prevention member 3d may be, for example, a rubber material or may be made of another material such as an elastomer. Absent.
