本発明は、既設流体管の分岐部と該分岐部に接続された管接続部材との間に介在するフランジが、内部に弁体を備えた取付部材で密封状に外嵌されるとともに、前記弁体が、前記フランジを接続する複数の接続具同士の間を通して、前記フランジの対向面間に挿入されることで、前記分岐部を閉塞して管接続部材を脱着する管接続部材の脱着装置に関する。 According to the present invention, a flange interposed between a branch portion of an existing fluid pipe and a pipe connection member connected to the branch portion is externally fitted in a sealing manner with an attachment member having a valve body therein, and A pipe connecting member detaching device that closes the branch portion and detaches the pipe connecting member by inserting a valve body between a plurality of connecting tools connecting the flanges and facing the flanges. About.

従来、既設の流体管（連通管）にフランジを介して取り付けられた空気弁や補修弁等の管接続部材の補修や交換を行う際には、流体管側の流れを不断流状態に維持しつつ、管接続部材が流体管に対して脱着させる。この際、内部に弁体が備えられた取付部材を有する脱着装置が、管接続部材のフランジにその外方から密封状に取り付けられたうえで、流体管及び管接続部材のフランジの対向面間に間隙が形成される。そして、この間隙に弁体を挿入して流体管を閉塞させることで、管接続部材を流体管に対して着脱可能にしている。 Conventionally, when repairing or replacing a pipe connection member such as an air valve or a repair valve attached to an existing fluid pipe (communication pipe) via a flange, the flow on the fluid pipe side is maintained in an uninterrupted state. Meanwhile, the pipe connecting member is detached from the fluid pipe. At this time, the attachment / detachment device having an attachment member provided with a valve body is attached to the flange of the pipe connection member in a sealed manner from the outside, and between the opposing surfaces of the flange of the fluid pipe and the pipe connection member A gap is formed. And by inserting a valve body into this gap and closing the fluid pipe, the pipe connecting member can be attached to and detached from the fluid pipe.

このような着脱装置としては、二分割された装着自在な作業用カバー（取付部材）を、両管部（連通管及び管接続部材）の両連結フランジ部（フランジ）にその外周側から密封状に取り付けて、この作業用カバー内で、両連結フランジ部を管軸方向に移動させて両連結フランジ部間に隙間を形成するとともに、この間隙内にある両連結フランジ部を接続するボルト（作業用ボルト）同士の間に仕切弁体（弁体）を通して、仕切弁体を流路遮断位置にまで差し入れることにより、両連結フランジ部の流路を遮断するようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 As such an attaching / detaching device, a work cover (attachment member) that is freely mounted in two parts is sealed from both outer peripheral sides to both connecting flange portions (flange) of both pipe portions (communication pipe and pipe connecting member). In the work cover, both connecting flange portions are moved in the tube axis direction to form a gap between the both connecting flange portions, and bolts that connect the two connecting flange portions in the gap (work There is one that blocks the flow path of both connecting flange portions by inserting the gate valve body to the flow path blocking position through the gate valve body (valve body) between the bolts (for example) (for example, Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、特許文献１にあっては、両連結フランジ部（フランジ）を接続するボルト（作業用ボルト）同士の間を仕切弁体（弁体）が通過するようにしているため、仕切弁体は、分岐管部（連通管）及び連結管（管接続部材）の外径よりも少し大なる幅を有すものの、仕切弁体の最大幅は、ボルト同士の隣接間隔よりも小さく形成されている。このため、既設流体管の分岐管部の実際の内径が、製造誤差や旧規格等で作業開始時の想定より大きかったり、弁体の挿入方向が分岐管部の中心からずれたりした場合には、仕切弁体の幅が不十分なために、仕切弁体の側部において両連結フランジ部の座面に対してシート面が不足して、仕切弁体の側方から流体管内の流体が漏洩するといった問題がある。 However, in Patent Document 1, the gate valve body (valve body) passes between the bolts (working bolts) connecting the two connecting flange portions (flanges). Although the width is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the branch pipe part (communication pipe) and the connecting pipe (pipe connecting member), the maximum width of the gate valve body is formed smaller than the adjacent interval between the bolts. . For this reason, if the actual inner diameter of the branch pipe part of the existing fluid pipe is larger than expected at the start of work due to manufacturing errors or old standards, etc., or if the insertion direction of the valve body deviates from the center of the branch pipe part The width of the gate valve body is insufficient, so the seat surface is insufficient with respect to the seating surfaces of both connecting flanges at the side of the gate valve body, and the fluid in the fluid pipe leaks from the side of the gate valve body.

弁収容部１２は、図２に示すように、第１円弧状部材１３の外壁から連設された略方形の筒状をなしており、末端部は、弁体１１を弁収容部１２内に配置するための開口部５７を有する。この開口部５７は、弁体１１が弁収容部１２内に配置されたのちに、略方形の板状の封止板３１により密封されている。また、この封止板の中央部には、弁収容部１２の内部から外部に貫通された貫通孔３２が設けられており、貫通孔３２には、後述する弁体１１の操作杆３３がパッキンを介して密封状に挿通されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the valve housing portion 12 has a substantially square cylindrical shape continuously provided from the outer wall of the first arcuate member 13, and the end portion has the valve body 11 in the valve housing portion 12. It has an opening 57 for placement. The opening 57 is sealed by a substantially square plate-shaped sealing plate 31 after the valve body 11 is disposed in the valve accommodating portion 12. In addition, a through hole 32 penetrating from the inside of the valve accommodating portion 12 to the outside is provided in the central portion of the sealing plate, and an operation rod 33 of the valve body 11 described later is packed in the through hole 32. It is inserted in a sealed manner through.

なお、弁収容部１２の筒状の本体の上面には、弁収容部１２内から水や空気などの流体を抜いたり導入したりする排出弁３４が設けられている。 A discharge valve 34 is provided on the upper surface of the cylindrical main body of the valve housing part 12 for extracting or introducing a fluid such as water or air from the valve housing part 12.

そして、図３に示すように、弁収容部１２の内部には弁体１１が配置されており、操作杆３３を紙面左右方向に進退移動させることで、弁体１１が弁収容部１２と取付部１０とを移動可能になっている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the valve body 11 is arranged inside the valve housing portion 12, and the valve body 11 is attached to the valve housing portion 12 by moving the operating rod 33 forward and backward in the horizontal direction of the paper. The part 10 can be moved.

次に、本発明に係る弁体１１について図５に基づいて説明する。以下、弁体１１の挿入及び抜出の方向を弁体１１の前後方向として説明する。弁体１１は、図５に示すように、上面視で、前方に向けて凸状をなす略弧状に形成された先端部３５と、略長方形をなす板状の板状部３６と、弁体１１を前後方向に移動操作する操作杆３３が接続される後端部中央の接続部３７とからなる。 Next, the valve body 11 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, the direction of insertion and extraction of the valve body 11 will be described as the front-rear direction of the valve body 11. As shown in FIG. 5, the valve body 11 includes, as viewed from above, a tip portion 35 formed in a substantially arc shape that protrudes forward, a plate-like plate-like portion 36 that has a substantially rectangular shape, and a valve body. 11 includes a connecting portion 37 at the center of the rear end portion to which an operating rod 33 for moving the head 11 in the front-rear direction is connected.

弁体１１の先端部３５は、その厚みが断面視で、先端側が後端側に比べて漸次小となるように形成されており、後述するようにフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に弁体１１を挿入する際に、フランジ３の座面５９に固着したガスケット３８を剥離させやすくなっている（図８参照）。 The front end portion 35 of the valve body 11 is formed so that the thickness thereof is a sectional view and the front end side is gradually smaller than the rear end side, and the valve body is disposed between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b as will be described later. When inserting 11, the gasket 38 fixed to the seating surface 59 of the flange 3 is easily peeled off (see FIG. 8).

また、板状部３６は、先端部３５から連続して金属製の板材により形成されて、略方形の薄い板状をなしており、その下面側には弾性体からなる弁体シート部材３９が設けられている。そして、弁体シート部材３９は板状部３６の両側方に延設されており、上面視で、先端側から中央部にかけて漸次幅が広がるとともに、中央部から後端側にかけて漸次幅が狭まる略円弧状をなす可変部４０を備えている。さらに、この可変部４０は、その弁体１１左右方向の幅は、後述するようにフランジ３の座面５９が覆われるのに十分な幅となっている。また、本実施例では、自然状態において、可撓部４０を含む弁体１１の最大幅が、フランジ３において隣接する作業用ボルト・ナット４７、４７の離間間隔よりも大きくなるように形成されている。 Further, the plate-like portion 36 is formed of a metal plate material continuously from the tip portion 35 and has a substantially rectangular thin plate shape, and a valve body sheet member 39 made of an elastic body is formed on the lower surface side thereof. Is provided. The valve body sheet member 39 is extended on both sides of the plate-like portion 36, and in a top view, the width gradually increases from the front end side to the center portion, and gradually decreases from the center portion to the rear end side. A variable portion 40 having an arc shape is provided. Further, the width of the variable portion 40 in the left-right direction of the valve body 11 is sufficient to cover the seating surface 59 of the flange 3 as will be described later. Further, in this embodiment, in the natural state, the maximum width of the valve body 11 including the flexible portion 40 is formed so as to be larger than the spacing between adjacent working bolts and nuts 47, 47 in the flange 3. Yes.

また、可変部４０は、流体管１内の流体を遮断可能な高い遮断性を有するとともに、変形後に所定の形状に復元可能な高い弾性を有するゴム材からなる。なお、可変部４０は、流体の遮断性および弾性が十分に高い材質であれば、ゴム材以外から構成されてもよい。 The variable portion 40 is made of a rubber material having a high barrier property that can shut off the fluid in the fluid pipe 1 and having a high elasticity that can be restored to a predetermined shape after deformation. The variable portion 40 may be made of a material other than a rubber material as long as it has a sufficiently high fluid barrier property and elasticity.

また、可変部４０は、外周面に沿って延設され板状部３６よりも上方に僅かに突出された突出部４１が設けられている。この突出部４１は、後述するように弁体１１がフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に挿入された際に、フランジ３の座面５９に圧着される圧着用のつぶし代として機能するように、突出部４１の上下方向の厚みは弾性体の弾性係数によって所定厚さに形成される。 The variable portion 40 is provided with a protruding portion 41 that extends along the outer peripheral surface and slightly protrudes above the plate-like portion 36. As will be described later, the protruding portion 41 functions as a crimping allowance for crimping that is crimped to the seating surface 59 of the flange 3 when the valve body 11 is inserted between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b. The thickness of the protrusion 41 in the vertical direction is formed to a predetermined thickness by the elastic coefficient of the elastic body.

さらに、可変部４０は、突出部４１のよりも内側に、可変部４０の外形に沿って、弁体１１の挿入方向に延設された溝状の溝部４２を備えている。この溝部４２は、後述するように弁体１１がフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に挿入される際に、ボルト等に接触して可変部４０が変形する場合に、圧縮された可変部４０の一部が逃げるための逃げ空間として機能するように、突出部４１の厚みや弾性体の弾性係数によって所定幅に形成される。これにより、可変部４０のフランジ３ｂの座面に対する追従性や密封性が向上される。 Further, the variable portion 40 includes a groove-like groove portion 42 extending in the insertion direction of the valve body 11 along the outer shape of the variable portion 40 on the inner side of the protruding portion 41. As will be described later, when the valve body 11 is inserted between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b, the groove portion 42 is formed in the compressed variable portion 40 when the variable portion 40 is deformed by contact with a bolt or the like. It is formed in a predetermined width depending on the thickness of the protrusion 41 and the elastic coefficient of the elastic body so that a part functions as a relief space for escape. Thereby, the followable | trackability with respect to the seat surface of the flange 3b of the variable part 40 and sealing performance are improved.

そして、図３及び図５に示すように、弁体１１の接続部３７は、断面視略コ字形状の接続部材４３からなり、接続部材４３の左右側には、上下方向に貫通する貫通孔４３ａが設けられている。さらに、弁体１１の後端部には、貫通孔４３ａに連通する比較的大径の挿通孔（図示略）が形成されており、これら貫通孔４３ａ及び前記挿通孔に、該挿通孔よりも小径のスプリングピン４５が挿入されていることで、弁体１１が接続部材４３に対し、上下方向に遊嵌状態で接続されている。また、上面側および下面側の接続部材４３の後方側の中央部には貫通孔が設けられており、この貫通孔に六角穴付き止めネジ４４が挿入されて、接続部材４３に操作杆３３が固定されている。また、操作杆３３は、弁体１１の挿入方向に延設されており、操作杆３３の端部には、操作者により把持される把持部４６が設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the connection portion 37 of the valve body 11 is composed of a connection member 43 having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional view. 43a is provided. Further, a relatively large-diameter insertion hole (not shown) communicating with the through-hole 43a is formed at the rear end portion of the valve body 11, and the through-hole 43a and the insertion hole are more than the insertion hole. Since the small-diameter spring pin 45 is inserted, the valve body 11 is connected to the connection member 43 in a loosely fitted state in the vertical direction. In addition, a through hole is provided in the central portion on the rear side of the connection member 43 on the upper surface side and the lower surface side. A hexagon socket set screw 44 is inserted into the through hole, and the operation rod 33 is provided on the connection member 43. It is fixed. Further, the operating rod 33 extends in the insertion direction of the valve body 11, and a grip portion 46 that is gripped by the operator is provided at the end of the operating rod 33.

次に、脱着装置９を用いて、流体管１の管路を上流側で遮断することなく管路内の流体の流れを維持したままの状態（不断流状態）で、管接続部材の脱着を行う脱着工程について、図１、図６乃至図１５に基づいて説明する。 Next, using the desorption device 9, the pipe connection member is detached in the state in which the flow of the fluid in the pipe is maintained without being interrupted on the upstream side (discontinuous flow state). The desorption process to be performed will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 6 to 15.

まず、図１に示すように、既設ボルト・ナット８で接続されている連通管２のフランジ３ｂ、及びフランジ短管４のフランジ３ａを清掃し、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの状態を確認する。フランジ３にパッキン等による密封性に影響をもたらすような凹凸等があれば補修を行う。また、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に挟まれているガスケットをフランジ３ｂ側から剥離させて、その剥離片をフランジ３ａ側に退避させる。 First, as shown in FIG. 1, the flange 3b of the communication pipe 2 and the flange 3a of the flange short pipe 4 connected by existing bolts and nuts 8 are cleaned, and the states of the flanges 3a and 3b are confirmed. If there are irregularities or the like on the flange 3 that affect the sealing performance by packing or the like, repair is performed. Further, the gasket sandwiched between the facing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b is peeled off from the flange 3b side, and the peeled piece is retracted to the flange 3a side.

そして、既設ボルト・ナット８を、挿通孔７から流体が漏洩するのを防止する漏洩防止機能を有する作業用ボルト・ナット４７に１本ずつ交換する。この作業用ボルト・ナット４７のうち、少なくとも第１円弧状部材１３が取り付けられる側、すなわち弁体の挿入側における２本の作業用ボルト・ナット４７の外周には、図６に示すように、筒状のポリ四フッ化エチレン製の筒状体５６が、後述する弁体１１のガイド部４８として機能するように作業用ボルト４７の周方向および軸方向に摺動可能に取り付けられている。なお、この筒状体５６は、ポリ四フッ化エチレン以外の摺動性の良好なプラスチック材、例えば、フッ素化プラスチック、そしてポリアセタール、ナイロン、高分子量高密度ポリエチレンなどからなってもよい。更になお、筒状体の縦方向に渡ってスリット状の切欠部を形成し、すなわち当該筒状体を平面視略Ｃ字状に形成することで、ボルトに対し遊嵌状態を創出して摺動性を高めるとともに、当該筒状体を複数種の径のボルトに取り付け可能として汎用性を持たせることができる。 Then, the existing bolts and nuts 8 are replaced one by one with working bolts and nuts 47 having a leakage preventing function for preventing fluid from leaking from the insertion holes 7. Among the working bolts and nuts 47, on the outer periphery of the two working bolts and nuts 47 on the side where at least the first arcuate member 13 is attached, that is, on the valve element insertion side, as shown in FIG. A cylindrical tubular body 56 made of polytetrafluoroethylene is attached so as to be slidable in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the working bolt 47 so as to function as a guide portion 48 of the valve body 11 described later. The cylindrical body 56 may be made of a plastic material having good slidability other than polytetrafluoroethylene, such as fluorinated plastic, polyacetal, nylon, high molecular weight high density polyethylene, and the like. Furthermore, a slit-like notch is formed in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body, that is, the cylindrical body is formed in a substantially C shape in a plan view, thereby creating a loosely fitted state with respect to the bolt. In addition to enhancing the mobility, the cylindrical body can be attached to bolts of a plurality of types of diameters so that versatility can be provided.

次に、本発明に係る脱着装置９の取付部１０を、嵌合溝２３に第１密封部材２４及び第２密封部材２５を嵌合させた各円弧状部材１３、１４、１５の掛止部１８にそれぞれ組付ボルト・ナット１７を挿入して、仮組み状態にする。また、各円弧状部材１３、１４、１５の膨出部２２及び間隙形成片２９を、フランジ３の外周方向からフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に挿入して、フランジ３ｂの上面に当接させるとともに、鍔部１９をフランジ３ｂの下面に配置させるようにして、各円弧状部材１３、１４、１５をフランジ３ｂに仮固定する。 Next, the attaching portion 10 of the detaching apparatus 9 according to the present invention is a latching portion of each arcuate member 13, 14, 15 in which the first sealing member 24 and the second sealing member 25 are fitted in the fitting groove 23. The assembly bolts and nuts 17 are inserted into the respective parts 18 to be temporarily assembled. Further, the bulging portions 22 and the gap forming pieces 29 of the respective arc-shaped members 13, 14, 15 are inserted between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3 a, 3 b from the outer peripheral direction of the flange 3 and are brought into contact with the upper surface of the flange 3 b. At the same time, the arcuate members 13, 14, and 15 are temporarily fixed to the flange 3b so that the flange portion 19 is disposed on the lower surface of the flange 3b.

そして、各組付ボルト・ナット１７を締め付けて、第１密封部材２４及び第２密封部材２５をフランジ３の外周面に密着させる。このとき、脱着装置９の取付部１０が３分割されているので、各組付ボルト・ナット１７を締め付けると、各密封部材２４、２５が少なくとも３方向から押圧されることになる。これにより、各密封部材２４、２５を密着させる力が３方向に分散されるので、第１及び第２密封部材２４、２５は、周方向に均等に押圧されてフランジ３に密着される。 Then, each assembled bolt / nut 17 is tightened to bring the first sealing member 24 and the second sealing member 25 into close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flange 3. At this time, since the attaching portion 10 of the detaching device 9 is divided into three parts, when the respective assembly bolts and nuts 17 are tightened, the respective sealing members 24 and 25 are pressed from at least three directions. As a result, the force for bringing the sealing members 24 and 25 into close contact with each other is distributed in three directions, so that the first and second sealing members 24 and 25 are pressed evenly in the circumferential direction and are in close contact with the flange 3.

また、鍔部１９のボルト孔２１に規制ボルト２０をその上端面がフランジ３ｂの下面に当接するようにねじ込み、規制ボルト２０と膨出部２２とでフランジ３ｂを上下方向から挟み込むことで、脱着装置９をフランジ３ｂに固定する（図７参照）。そして、脱着装置の弁体挿入側に、上述のガイド部４８を有する２本の作業用ボルト・ナット４７が位置するように、脱着装置のフランジ３に対する周方向位置を調整する。ここで、三分割された取付部材としての各円弧状部材１３、１４、１５が、それぞれ膨出部２２を備えることで、各円弧状部材１３、１４、１５をフランジ３ｂに仮固定しやすくなっており、更に、安定的に仮固定されるので脱着装置の位置調整が容易になっている。 Further, the restriction bolt 20 is screwed into the bolt hole 21 of the flange portion 19 so that the upper end surface of the restriction bolt 20 is in contact with the lower surface of the flange 3b, and the flange 3b is sandwiched between the restriction bolt 20 and the bulging portion 22 so as to be detached. The device 9 is fixed to the flange 3b (see FIG. 7). And the circumferential direction position with respect to the flange 3 of a desorption apparatus is adjusted so that the two working bolts and nuts 47 which have the above-mentioned guide part 48 may be located in the valve body insertion side of a desorption apparatus. Here, each arcuate member 13, 14, 15 as the mounting member divided into three is provided with the bulging portion 22, respectively, so that each arcuate member 13, 14, 15 is easily temporarily fixed to the flange 3b. Furthermore, since the temporary fixing is stable, the position adjustment of the detaching device is facilitated.

そして、図７及び図８に示すように、脱着装置９をフランジ３ｂに固定した後に、各作業用ボルト・ナット４７を１本ずつ順々に所定ピッチ量緩めて上方に夫々螺出させる。これにより、流体管１内の流体の圧力がフランジ３に作用して、フランジ３ａとフランジ３ｂとが作業用ボルト・ナット４７の緩められた所定ピッチ量分だけ相対的に管軸方向に移動して、後述するように弁体１１が挿入可能な間隙がフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に生じる（図８（ａ）参照）。ここで、本実施例の脱着装置９においては、図４に示すように、第１密封部材２４の内周面がフランジ３ｂの外周面に沿って形成されており、第１密封部材ではフランジ３ｂに比較的強く密着される。その一方で、第２密封部材２５の内周面がフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面から遠ざかるに連れて内径が漸次大となるテーパ面を有するように形成されており、第２密封部材２５ではフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面から遠い部位ほど、フランジ３ａに比較的弱く密着される。これにより、フランジ３ｂから離す方向にフランジ３ａを移動させやすくなっている。 Then, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, after the detaching device 9 is fixed to the flange 3b, the working bolts and nuts 47 are loosened one by one by a predetermined pitch one by one and screwed upward. As a result, the pressure of the fluid in the fluid pipe 1 acts on the flange 3, and the flange 3 a and the flange 3 b move relatively in the pipe axis direction by a predetermined pitch amount by which the working bolts and nuts 47 are loosened. Thus, as will be described later, a gap into which the valve element 11 can be inserted is formed between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b (see FIG. 8A). Here, in the detaching apparatus 9 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner peripheral surface of the first sealing member 24 is formed along the outer peripheral surface of the flange 3b, and in the first sealing member, the flange 3b is formed. Is relatively strongly adhered to. On the other hand, the inner surface of the second sealing member 25 is formed to have a tapered surface whose inner diameter gradually increases as the distance from the opposing surface of the flanges 3a and 3b increases. The farther from the facing surfaces of 3a and 3b, the closer to the flange 3a is relatively weakly adhered. Thereby, it becomes easy to move the flange 3a in the direction away from the flange 3b.

ここで、上述のように取付部１０が３分割された各円弧状部材１３、１４、１５からなり、第２密封部材２５が少なくとも３方向から均等にフランジ３ａの外周面に密接しているので、フランジ３ａの一部で他の部位よりも大きな摩擦力が生じることが防止されて、フランジ３ａとフランジ３ｂとが相対的に管軸方向に移動されやすくなっている。これにより、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に間隙が形成されなかったり、フランジ３ｂがフランジ３ａに対して傾いて移動されたりすることが防止され、作業効率が向上する。 Here, as described above, the mounting portion 10 includes the respective arc-shaped members 13, 14, 15 divided into three parts, and the second sealing member 25 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the flange 3 a evenly from at least three directions. A part of the flange 3a is prevented from generating a larger frictional force than other parts, and the flange 3a and the flange 3b are relatively easily moved in the tube axis direction. This prevents a gap from being formed between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b and prevents the flange 3b from being inclined and moved with respect to the flange 3a, thereby improving work efficiency.

なお、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間の間隙形成が不十分であった場合には、間隙形成手段１６の操作ボルト３０を下方に螺入させることで、間隙形成片２９をフランジ３ａに作用させて間隙の形成を促すことができる。尚、間隙形成手段１６は、操作ボルト３０が下方に螺入されると、間隙形成片２９の外径側端部を力点として梃子の原理によって、間隙形成片２９の内径側端部がフランジ３ａの下面に当接されてフランジ３ａに上向きの力を働かせる。この上向きの力により、フランジ３ａが連通管２の管軸方向に移動されて、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に弁体１１を挿入可能な間隙が形成される。 In addition, when the gap formation between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b is insufficient, the gap forming piece 29 is caused to act on the flange 3a by screwing the operation bolt 30 of the gap forming means 16 downward. This can promote the formation of a gap. When the operating bolt 30 is screwed downward, the gap forming means 16 has an inner diameter side end portion of the gap forming piece 29 at the flange 3a by the lever principle with the outer diameter side end portion of the gap forming piece 29 as a power point. An upper force is applied to the flange 3a. By this upward force, the flange 3a is moved in the tube axis direction of the communication pipe 2, and a gap in which the valve body 11 can be inserted is formed between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b.

次いで、図８に示すように、弁体１１の操作杆３３を押し込み、弁体１１をフランジ３の中心方向に移動させて、フランジ３ａとフランジ３ｂとの間隙に弁体１１を挿入する。ここで、弁体１１の先端が、上面視で前方に凸状をなす略弧状であり、断面視で先端側が後端側に比べて漸次小となるように形成されているので、フランジ３弁体１１の先端をフランジ３のガスケット３８の下方側に容易に挿入することができるとともに、ガスケット３８がフランジ３の座に固着されていても容易にガスケット３８を剥離させながら弁体１１を挿入することができる。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the operating rod 33 of the valve body 11 is pushed in, the valve body 11 is moved in the center direction of the flange 3, and the valve body 11 is inserted into the gap between the flange 3a and the flange 3b. Here, the front end of the valve body 11 has a substantially arc shape that protrudes forward in a top view and is formed so that the front end side becomes gradually smaller than the rear end side in a cross-sectional view. The tip of the body 11 can be easily inserted below the gasket 38 of the flange 3, and the valve body 11 can be inserted while the gasket 38 is peeled off easily even if the gasket 38 is fixed to the seat of the flange 3. be able to.

また、図８（ａ）の拡大図に示すように、弁収容部１２の挿入孔２８の下面とフランジ３ｂの上面とが段差を生じないように合わせられているとともに、弁体１１下面の傾斜により弁体１１がフランジ３ｂの座面５９上方に導かれるようになっているので、弁体１１の先端がフランジ３の座の外縁に接触しても、先端が座に引っ掛かることなく、弁体１１をフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に容易且つ円滑に挿入させることができる。さらに上記したように、弁体１１が接続部材４３に対し、スプリングピン４５を介し上下方向に遊嵌状態で接続されていることで、弁体１１が上下方向に移動し易く、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に挿入可能となっている。 Further, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 8A, the lower surface of the insertion hole 28 of the valve housing portion 12 and the upper surface of the flange 3b are aligned so as not to cause a step, and the lower surface of the valve body 11 is inclined. Since the valve body 11 is guided above the seating surface 59 of the flange 3b, even if the tip of the valve body 11 contacts the outer edge of the seat of the flange 3, the tip of the valve body 11 is not caught on the seat. 11 can be easily and smoothly inserted between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b. Further, as described above, since the valve body 11 is connected to the connection member 43 in a loosely fitted state in the vertical direction via the spring pin 45, the valve body 11 is easily moved in the vertical direction, and the flanges 3a and 3b. It can be inserted between the opposing surfaces.

そして、図９に示すように、弁体１１の操作杆３３を更に押し込み、弁体１１をフランジ３の中心方向に更に移動させる。ここで、フランジ３を接続する作業用ボルト４７同士の間を弁体１１が通過される際には、弁体１１の可変部４０は、図９（ｂ）に示すように、作業用ボルト４７に接触される。そして、可変部４０が弾性体からなるとともに上面視で略円弧状をなしているので、可変部４０が作業用ボルト４７に接触されると、接触部位を作用点として、弁体１１挿入方向と逆の方向や略円弧状の可変部４０の中心方向に向けて、可変部４０が作用点から漸次弾性変形されることになり、弁体１１はその横幅より狭い作業用ボルト４７同士の間を通過可能になっている。 Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the operating rod 33 of the valve body 11 is further pushed in, and the valve body 11 is further moved toward the center of the flange 3. Here, when the valve body 11 is passed between the working bolts 47 connecting the flange 3, the variable portion 40 of the valve body 11 has the working bolt 47 as shown in FIG. 9B. Touched. Since the variable portion 40 is made of an elastic body and has a substantially arc shape when viewed from above, when the variable portion 40 is brought into contact with the work bolt 47, the contact portion serves as an action point and the insertion direction of the valve body 11 The variable portion 40 is gradually elastically deformed from the point of action toward the opposite direction or the central direction of the substantially arc-shaped variable portion 40, and the valve body 11 is interposed between the working bolts 47 narrower than its lateral width. It is possible to pass.

また、可変部４０は、溝部４２が設けられていることで、可変部４０が変形する場合に、圧縮された可変部４０の一部が逃げるための逃げ空間が確保されている。なおかつ、可変部４０において溝部４２が形成された部分は、肉厚が薄く撓みやすくなっており、可変部４０が略円弧状の中心方向に向けて変形しやすくなっている。これにより、可変部４０の変形に対する追従性や密封性が高められているので、弁体１１を作業用ボルト４７同士間に更に円滑に挿入することができる。なお、可変部４０が略円弧状をなしているので、後述するように弁体１１を弁収容部１２に引き戻す場合においては、弁体１１を作業用ボルト４７同士間から円滑に抜き出すことができる。 Further, since the variable portion 40 is provided with the groove portion 42, when the variable portion 40 is deformed, a clearance space is secured for part of the compressed variable portion 40 to escape. In addition, the portion where the groove portion 42 is formed in the variable portion 40 is thin and easy to bend, and the variable portion 40 is easily deformed toward the central direction of the substantially arc shape. Thereby, since the followability with respect to a deformation | transformation of the variable part 40 and sealing performance are improved, the valve body 11 can be inserted further smoothly between the volt | bolts 47 for work. Since the variable portion 40 has a substantially arc shape, the valve body 11 can be smoothly extracted from between the working bolts 47 when the valve body 11 is pulled back to the valve housing portion 12 as will be described later. .

また、弁体１１に接触される作業用ボルト４７の外周面には、筒状体５６からなるガイド部４８が設けられ、弁体１１と作業用ボルト４７との摺動抵抗が低減されているので、弁体１１と作業用ボルト４７とが接触する場合であっても、作業用ボルト４７同士間を弁体１１が円滑に通過できる。さらに、このガイド部４８によって作業用ボルト４７のネジ山が覆われているので、弾性体からなる可変部４０が作業用ボルト４７のネジ山によって疵付けられることが防止される。 Further, a guide portion 48 made of a cylindrical body 56 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the working bolt 47 that comes into contact with the valve body 11, and sliding resistance between the valve body 11 and the working bolt 47 is reduced. Therefore, even when the valve body 11 and the work bolt 47 are in contact, the valve body 11 can smoothly pass between the work bolts 47. Further, since the thread of the working bolt 47 is covered by the guide portion 48, the variable portion 40 made of an elastic body is prevented from being brazed by the thread of the working bolt 47.

なお、可変部４０において作業用ボルト４７に接触される部位に、低摩擦抵抗体が塗布等されて設けられてもよく、これにより、作業用ボルト４７同士間を弁体１１が更に円滑に通過できる。 Note that a low friction resistor may be applied to a portion of the variable portion 40 that is in contact with the work bolt 47 so that the valve body 11 passes between the work bolts 47 more smoothly. it can.

さらに、図１０に示すように、弁体１１の操作杆３３を更に押し込み、連通管２の管路を閉塞するための所定の流体遮断位置まで弁体１１を移動させる。ここで、弁体１１の可変部４０は、作業用ボルト４７同士間を通過する際には上述のように変形されるが、通過後には、自然状態の形状（閉塞形状）に弾性復元されて、弁体１１により連通管２の流路が塞がれるとともにフランジ３ｂの座面５９に対して十分に大きなシート面が確保される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the operating rod 33 of the valve body 11 is further pushed in, and the valve body 11 is moved to a predetermined fluid blocking position for closing the conduit of the communication pipe 2. Here, the variable portion 40 of the valve body 11 is deformed as described above when passing between the working bolts 47, but after passing, it is elastically restored to a natural state shape (closed shape). The valve body 11 blocks the flow path of the communication pipe 2 and ensures a sufficiently large seat surface with respect to the seat surface 59 of the flange 3b.

次いで、作業用ボルト・ナット４７を順々に少しずつ締め付ける。なお、上述の間隙形成手段１６を使用していた場合は、操作ボルト３０を操作して間隙形成片２９を初期位置に戻した後に、作業用ボルト・ナット４７を締め付ける。これにより、弁体１１がフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面によって挟み込まれて、連通管２とフランジ短管４との間の流れが完全に遮断される。 Next, the working bolts and nuts 47 are tightened little by little in order. When the gap forming means 16 is used, the operation bolt 30 is operated to return the gap forming piece 29 to the initial position, and then the work bolt / nut 47 is tightened. Thereby, the valve body 11 is inserted | pinched by the opposing surface of flange 3a, 3b, and the flow between the communicating pipe 2 and the flange short pipe 4 is interrupted | blocked completely.

ここで、可変部４０には、外形に沿って上方に突出する突出部４１が形成されているので、弁体１１がフランジ３ａ、３ｂで挟み込まれると、突出部４１の上方側が下方に向けて圧縮される。これにより、突出部４１の下方側、すなわちシート面がフランジ３ｂの座面５９に対して押圧されて強固に密着される。また、可変部４０以外のシート部は、弁体１１の挿入方向に十分に大きな接触面積をもってフランジ３ｂの座面５９に密着される。したがって、本発明に係る弁体１１により、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間の流れが確実に遮断されて、流体が漏洩することが防止される。 Here, since the protrusion part 41 which protrudes upwards along the external shape is formed in the variable part 40, if the valve body 11 is inserted | pinched by the flanges 3a and 3b, the upper side of the protrusion part 41 will face downward. Compressed. As a result, the lower side of the projecting portion 41, that is, the seat surface is pressed against the seat surface 59 of the flange 3b and firmly adhered thereto. Further, the seat portions other than the variable portion 40 are in close contact with the seating surface 59 of the flange 3b with a sufficiently large contact area in the insertion direction of the valve body 11. Therefore, the valve body 11 according to the present invention reliably blocks the flow between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b and prevents the fluid from leaking.

また、可変部４０が弾性体からなる突出部４１を有しており、弁体１１両側のシート面とフランジ３ｂの座面５９とに対する追従性と密封性が高められているので、フランジ３ｂの座面５９に比べて可変部４０の面積が小さくても、弁体１１は流体の流れを確実に遮断することができる。 Further, the variable portion 40 has a projecting portion 41 made of an elastic body, and the followability and the sealing performance with respect to the seat surfaces on both sides of the valve body 11 and the seat surface 59 of the flange 3b are enhanced. Even if the area of the variable portion 40 is smaller than that of the seating surface 59, the valve body 11 can reliably block the flow of fluid.

続いて、図１１に示すように、フランジ短管４から空気弁６を取り外して、閉塞装置４９をフランジ短管４に取り付ける。この閉塞装置４９は、フランジ短管４に密封状に取り付けられる収容ケース５０と、収容ケース５０の内部に収容され、連通管２の分岐口５１を閉塞する閉塞部材５２と、閉塞部材５２を連通管２の分岐口５１に挿入する棒状の操作軸５３と、作業者が操作軸５３を操作するハンドル５４とから構成される。なお、これらの収容ケース５０、閉塞部材５２、ハンドル５４等については、具体的な構成および詳細な説明は省略する。 Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11, the air valve 6 is removed from the short flange tube 4, and the closing device 49 is attached to the short flange tube 4. The closing device 49 includes a housing case 50 attached to the flange short tube 4 in a sealed manner, a closing member 52 that is housed inside the housing case 50 and closes the branch port 51 of the communication pipe 2, and communicates the closing member 52. A rod-shaped operation shaft 53 to be inserted into the branch port 51 of the tube 2 and a handle 54 for operating the operation shaft 53 by an operator. Note that a specific configuration and detailed description of the storage case 50, the closing member 52, the handle 54, and the like are omitted.

そして、脱着装置９の各作業用ボルト４７を、上述のように１本ずつ順々に所定ピッチ量緩めて上方に夫々螺出させて、フランジ３ａ、３ｂを管軸方向に相対的に移動させ、フランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面間に間隙を生じさせる。 Then, each of the working bolts 47 of the detaching device 9 is loosened by a predetermined pitch amount one by one as described above and screwed upward to move the flanges 3a and 3b relatively in the tube axis direction. A gap is generated between the opposing surfaces of the flanges 3a and 3b.

次いで、図１２に示すように、脱着装置９の操作杆３３を引いて、弁体１１を流体遮断位置から移動させて弁収容部１２に収容する。その後、閉塞装置４９のハンドル５４を操作して、閉塞部材５２を収容ケース５０から連通管２の分岐口５１付近まで移動させて、分岐口５１を閉塞させ、流体管１と連通管２との間の流体の流れを遮断する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the operating rod 33 of the detaching device 9 is pulled to move the valve body 11 from the fluid blocking position and accommodate it in the valve accommodating portion 12. Thereafter, the handle 54 of the closing device 49 is operated to move the closing member 52 from the housing case 50 to the vicinity of the branch port 51 of the communication pipe 2 to close the branch port 51, and to connect the fluid pipe 1 and the communication pipe 2. Block the fluid flow between them.

また、図１３に示すように、閉塞装置４９の閉塞具により分岐口５１を閉塞した状態で、閉塞装置４９のハンドル５４、収容ケース５０、フランジ短管４、脱着装置９を連通管２から取り外す。ここで、本実施例の脱着装置９においては、図４に示すように、第１密封部材２４の内周面がフランジ３ｂの外周面に沿って形成されており、第１密封部材ではフランジ３ｂに比較的強く密着される。その一方で、第２密封部材２５の内周面がフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面から遠ざかるに連れて内径が漸次大となるテーパ面を有するように形成されており、第２密封部材２５ではフランジ３ａ、３ｂの対向面から遠い部位ほど、フランジ３ａに比較的弱く密着される。 Further, as shown in FIG. 13, the handle 54, the housing case 50, the flange short tube 4, and the detaching device 9 of the closing device 49 are removed from the communication tube 2 in a state where the branch port 51 is closed by the closing tool of the closing device 49. . Here, in the detaching apparatus 9 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the inner peripheral surface of the first sealing member 24 is formed along the outer peripheral surface of the flange 3b, and in the first sealing member, the flange 3b is formed. Is relatively strongly adhered to. On the other hand, the inner surface of the second sealing member 25 is formed to have a tapered surface whose inner diameter gradually increases as the distance from the opposing surface of the flanges 3a and 3b increases. The farther from the facing surfaces of 3a and 3b, the closer to the flange 3a is relatively weakly adhered.

これにより、フランジ３ｂから離す方向にフランジ３ａを移動させやすくなっている。すなわち、管接続部材としてのフランジ短管４を分岐部としての連通管２から取り外しやすくなっており、熟練を要することなく管接続部材を分岐部から取り外すことができる。 Thereby, it becomes easy to move the flange 3a in the direction away from the flange 3b. That is, it is easy to remove the flange short pipe 4 as the pipe connection member from the communication pipe 2 as the branch part, and the pipe connection member can be detached from the branch part without requiring skill.

そして、図１４に示すように、連通管２のフランジ３ｂの対向面を点検、清掃、補修した後に、連通管２に新たな補修弁５５を取り付けるとともに、補修弁５５に閉塞装置４９の収容ケース５０およびハンドル５４を取り付ける。さらに、閉塞装置４９のハンドル５４を操作して、閉塞部材５２を収容ケース５０に収容する。さらにその後、図１５に示すように、補修弁５５を閉じて、閉塞装置４９を補修弁５５から取り外し、補修弁５５に新たな空気弁６’を取り付ける。 Then, as shown in FIG. 14, after inspecting, cleaning, and repairing the facing surface of the flange 3 b of the communication pipe 2, a new repair valve 55 is attached to the communication pipe 2, and the housing case of the closing device 49 is attached to the repair valve 55. 50 and handle 54 are attached. Further, the closure member 52 is accommodated in the accommodation case 50 by operating the handle 54 of the closure device 49. Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the repair valve 55 is closed, the closing device 49 is removed from the repair valve 55, and a new air valve 6 ′ is attached to the repair valve 55.

以上により、本発明に係る管接続部材の脱着装置９は、弁体１１が、該弁体１１の挿入方向に対して直交する方向に変形可能な可変部４０を備えることで、既設流体管１の連通管２（分岐部）と該連通管２に接続されたフランジ短管４（管接続部材）との間に介在するフランジ３が、内部に弁体１１を備えた円弧状部材１３、１４、１５（取付部材）で密封状に外嵌されるとともに、前記弁体１１が、前記フランジ３を接続する複数の作業用ボルト・ナット４７（接続具）同士の間を通して、前記フランジ３の対向面間に挿入される際に、弁体１１がその挿入方向に対して直交する方向に変形可能となるので、作業用ボルト・ナット４７同士の間隔に制限されることなく弁体１１の横幅を広くでき、既設流体管１の連通管２の閉塞に十分なシート面が確保されるので、既設流体管１の連通管２の実際の内径が作業開始時の想定より大きかったり、弁体１１の挿入方向が分岐部の中心からずれたりした場合であっても、弁体１１により連通管２を確実に閉塞できる。 As described above, in the pipe connecting member detaching device 9 according to the present invention, the valve body 11 includes the variable portion 40 that can be deformed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the valve body 11, so The flange 3 interposed between the communication pipe 2 (branch portion) and the flange short pipe 4 (pipe connection member) connected to the communication pipe 2 includes arc-shaped members 13 and 14 each having a valve body 11 therein. 15 (attachment member) and the valve body 11 passes between a plurality of working bolts and nuts 47 (connectors) for connecting the flange 3 to face the flange 3. When inserted between the surfaces, the valve body 11 can be deformed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction, so that the width of the valve body 11 is not limited by the distance between the working bolts and nuts 47. It can be widened, and is sufficient to block the communication pipe 2 of the existing fluid pipe 1. Even if the actual inner diameter of the communication pipe 2 of the existing fluid pipe 1 is larger than expected at the start of work or the insertion direction of the valve body 11 is deviated from the center of the branching portion. The communication pipe 2 can be reliably closed by the valve body 11.

また、前記可変部４０が、前記連通管２を閉塞する閉塞形状に復元可能であるので、弁体１１が作業用ボルト・ナット４７等に接触されて変形しても、既設流体管１の連通管２を閉塞する際には閉塞形状に復元されて十分なシート面を確保でき、流体の漏洩を防止することができる。 Further, since the variable portion 40 can be restored to the closed shape that closes the communication pipe 2, the communication of the existing fluid pipe 1 is possible even when the valve body 11 is deformed by contact with the working bolts / nuts 47 and the like. When the tube 2 is closed, it is restored to the closed shape and a sufficient sheet surface can be secured, and fluid leakage can be prevented.

また、前記可変部４０が、該可変部４０の変形を開始させる作用点を少なくとも該可変部の先端側に有しているので、弁体１１を挿入する際に、弁体１１の先端側から漸次変形がなされて、弁体１１が作業用ボルト・ナット４７同士の間を通過することができる。 Further, since the variable portion 40 has at least a point of action for starting the deformation of the variable portion 40 on the distal end side of the variable portion, when the valve body 11 is inserted from the distal end side of the valve body 11. The valve body 11 can pass between the working bolts and nuts 47 by being gradually deformed.

また、前記可変部４０の作用点が、前記可変部４０の後方側に設けられているので、弁体１１をフランジ３の対向面間から抜き出す際に、弁体１１の後方側から漸次変形がなされて、弁体が作業用ボルト・ナット４７同士の間を通過させることができる。 Further, since the operating point of the variable portion 40 is provided on the rear side of the variable portion 40, when the valve body 11 is extracted from between the opposing surfaces of the flange 3, the valve body 11 is gradually deformed from the rear side. Thus, the valve body can pass between the working bolts and nuts 47.

また、前記可変部４０が弾性体からなるので、前記可変部４０を容易に該弁体１１の挿入方向に対して直交する方向に変形させることができるとともに、弁体１１を挿入させるフランジ３の座面に対する追従性及び密封性が向上するので、流体の漏洩を防止することができる。 Further, since the variable portion 40 is made of an elastic body, the variable portion 40 can be easily deformed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the valve body 11 and the flange 3 into which the valve body 11 is inserted. Since the followability to the seating surface and the sealing performance are improved, fluid leakage can be prevented.

また、前記可変部４０が凹状の溝部４２（溝）を有するので、可変部４０が弁体１１の挿入方向に直交する方向に変形する際に、変形した可変部４０の逃げ空間として凹状の溝部４２が機能するので、可変部４０を変形させやすくなり弁体１１の挿入作業を容易にすることができる。なお、本実施例では凹状の溝部４２は、弁体１１の挿入方向に沿うように形成されているが、例えば、本発明の凹状の溝は、弁体１１の挿入方向に直交する方向に形成されても構わない。 Further, since the variable portion 40 has a concave groove portion 42 (groove), when the variable portion 40 is deformed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the valve body 11, a concave groove portion serves as a relief space for the deformed variable portion 40. Since 42 functions, it becomes easy to deform the variable part 40 and the insertion operation | work of the valve body 11 can be made easy. In this embodiment, the concave groove portion 42 is formed along the insertion direction of the valve body 11. For example, the concave groove portion of the present invention is formed in a direction orthogonal to the insertion direction of the valve body 11. It does not matter.

Further, instead of the cylindrical body 56, a belt-like sealing tape made of a resin material having a high slidability may be attached to the working bolt.

また、前記実施例では、弁体１１の自然状態での最大幅を、フランジ３において隣接する作業用ボルト・ナット４７、４７の離間間隔よりも大きく形成しているが、例えば、弁体の自然状態での最大幅を、フランジ軸芯を挟んで相対向する作業用ボルト・ナットの対向間隔よりも大きく形成するようにしてもよいし、あるいは、弁体の自然状態での最大幅を、フランジにおいて隣接するボルト・ナットの離間間隔よりも小さく形成するようにしても構わない。 In the above embodiment, the maximum width of the valve body 11 in the natural state is formed to be larger than the spacing between the adjacent work bolts and nuts 47 and 47 in the flange 3. The maximum width in the state may be formed larger than the facing distance between the working bolts and nuts facing each other across the flange shaft core, or the maximum width in the natural state of the valve body may be However, it may be formed smaller than the spacing between adjacent bolts and nuts.
