Description

  The present invention relates to a method and an inspection tool for more clearly confirming and inspecting the state of a water faucet with a saddle with continuous water, particularly the state of fitting a rust-proof core to a perforated portion.

  Conventionally, the internal inspection of the water faucet with a saddle has been carried out by attaching an inspection cap fitted with a transparent plate inside the cap nut to the perforator attachment port at the top of the water faucet with a saddle, and the situation inside the water faucet with a saddle through the transparent plate. If the inside of the water faucet with a saddle is difficult to see in the dark, it is also possible to check the cap of the water supply pipe on the side. Through this, the interior is illuminated from the side with a light or the like to turn on the light.

Also, when checking the condition of the drilled holes and anticorrosive core with constant water, it is difficult to see the air bubbles inside the water faucet with saddle. Air is exhausted sufficiently.

  Although the method described above is practically carried out, the literature related to this was investigated, but it was not found.

The above-described conventional method for checking the interior of a water faucet is that the interior of a water faucet with a saddle is dark at normal daytime brightness, and the state of a perforated hole or a rust-proof core may not be sufficiently confirmed. Even if the interior is illuminated with a light or the like from the water pipe attachment port side of the part, the light from the side part does not reach the perforated hole or the portion of the rust preventive core directly, and shadows or unevenness occur.

Furthermore, when checking the state of perforated holes and rust-proof core with unrestricted water, it is necessary to sufficiently exhaust the air inside the water faucet with saddle as described above, and the inspection cap is loosened, There is a problem that it is difficult for air to escape due to the loosening amount, the internal water pressure, or the amount of discharged air.

  The present invention is intended to address the above-described problems, and a transparent bar formed of a cylindrical transparent body that can see through the bottom of the tip from the top by a light condensing force is passed through an adapter that forms a gap on the outer periphery thereof. The water pressure and the volume of the transparent rod are eliminated by inserting and lowering from the top of the water faucet with saddle, and the volume of the transparent rod is eliminated while discharging the water and air through the gap between the outer periphery of the transparent rod and the adapter. The transparent rod was inserted to a predetermined position close to the inspection site, and the situation was confirmed by looking into the inspection portion from the top of the transparent rod.

  In addition, a stopper is formed at the tip of the transparent body to prevent it from coming off, and the transparent rod and adapter are assembled together. At the same time, the transparent rod is stopped when the transparent rod is inserted and lowered to the predetermined portion of the drilling hole. The inspection site is surely captured by eliminating shaking.

Furthermore, if necessary, a male screw is engraved on the outer periphery of the cylindrical transparent body (may be covered with an outer cylinder in which the male screw is engraved), and a female is formed on the inner wall of the transparent rod insertion hole of the adapter. A screw is engraved (may be covered with an inner cylinder engraved with a female screw), and the transparent rod is inserted and lowered by screwing, and the transparent rod is stopped at an arbitrary lowered position, or gradually. It was also possible to descend.

  Furthermore, a female screw that engages with a male screw engraved on the outer periphery of the transparent rod insertion port of the adapter is engraved on the inner wall of the bottom end of the handle body that holds the outer periphery of the top of the transparent body. The set cover body is formed, and at a predetermined position, the handle body of the transparent bar and the adapter are screwed and sealed by the male screw on the outer periphery of the transparent rod insertion port of the adapter and the female screw of the cover body, and the transparent bar is inserted. The discharge gap that drains water and air inside is sealed to prevent the occurrence of water leakage.

  The screwing of the handle body of the transparent bar and the adapter prevents the transparent bar inserted into the drilling hole from being pushed up by the water pressure applied from the water distribution main to the water faucet with saddle.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the transparent rod, which is a cylindrical transparent body, is inserted and lowered into the drilling hole of the saddle-equipped water faucet, the hydraulic pressure and the volume of the transparent bar are reduced. The water and air inside are forcibly removed and discharged from the gap formed between the outer circumference of the transparent rod and the inner circumference of the adapter. And air is exhausted sufficiently.

In addition, due to the sufficient drainage of water and air inside the water faucet with saddle and the condensing power of the transparent rod, the inspection section can be illuminated directly, and even with normal daylight, there are no holes or The state of the rust core can be clearly checked and inspected. Even if the interior is illuminated with a light etc. from the side of the water supply pipe on the side of the faucet with saddle due to light or light, the light enters directly into the inspection section through the transparent rod and the inspection section is more clearly visible. Visual observation was possible.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a saddle-equipped water faucet, and a saddle 12 fastened to a water distribution main pipe 2 of a water pipe having a water faucet installed at the bottom. A water passage hole 11 opens in the inner diameter portion.

  The upper part of the water flow hole 11 is a valve chamber 13, which stores a ball valve body 15 that is rotated by a ball valve body rotation shaft 14, and opens and closes a water supply path 16. The upper portion of the valve chamber 13 is an open hole 18 and is normally closed by a cap 17.

  First, when a water faucet is attached to a water distribution main pipe 2 where a water faucet 1 with a saddle is installed by a saddle 12, a cap 17 is removed, and a ball valve body 15 is opened, a water faucet upper opening hole 18 and a valve hole 19 are passed through. Since the through hole to the water passage hole 11 is opened, the perforation hole 21 is drilled in the water distribution main pipe 2 through the opening hole 18 by a punching machine (not shown).

  When the perforated hole 21 is perforated, water flows out into the drainage channel provided in the perforator by the water pressure of the main pipe 2, and impurities such as chips from the perforation are discharged together with the outflow water, so the ball valve body 15 is closed. Then, the insertion rod engaged with the rust preventive core 3 is inserted into the insertion screw into the male screw 42 at the top of the water faucet with saddle (perforating machine outlet) to which the cap 17 is screwed. By operating the machine, the rust preventive core 3 is fitted to the perforated part and the ball valve body 15 is opened.

  As described above, the perforation hole 21 to the water distribution main pipe 2 is perforated, and the rust-proof core 3 is fitted to the perforation hole 21. As described above, the perforator operates from the opening hole 18 above the water faucet. It is inserted through the valve hole 19 of the ball valve body 15 and the water passage hole 11 in the inner diameter portion of the saddle, and the water distribution main pipe 2 is drilled. The fitting of the rust prevention core 3 is engaged with the rust prevention core. Since the insertion rod is joined to the insertion machine and is performed with the sense of a finger, it is very important to drill the perforated hole 21 and to check whether the rust prevention core 3 is attached to the perforated hole. ing.

  Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, this inspection check is carried out by attaching an inspection cap 34 in which a transparent plate 32 is fitted in a cap nut 31 with a packing 33 on a male screw 42 at the top of a water stopper with a saddle (perforating machine outlet). Installation has been done by viewing through the transparent plate 32 from the top of the water faucet.

In addition, when the inside of the inspection is dark at night or due to light rays, as shown in FIG. 8, it has been carried out by illuminating the inside with a light etc. from the side of the water supply pipe mounting port 4 on the side of the water faucet with saddle. However, there has been no positive method for discharging water or air inside the water faucet that obstructs visual inspection due to bubbles or the like other than loosening the inspection cap 34 and discharging it.

In the present invention, an adapter 6 that forms a gap 61 on the outer periphery of a transparent bar 5 made of a cylindrical transparent body 51 that can be seen from the top to the bottom with a light-collecting force, using a material such as acrylic resin or polycarbonate resin. The water and air in the perforating machine insertion hole, which eliminates the water pressure and volume of the transparent bar 5 by being inserted and lowered from the top of the saddle-equipped water faucet 1 to the perforating machine insertion hole 41 through the outer periphery of the transparent bar and the aforementioned While discharging through the gap 61 of the adapter 6, the transparent rod was inserted to a predetermined position close to the inspection site, and the inspection portion was looked into from the top of the transparent rod 5 to confirm the situation.

The transparent bar 5 is composed of a handle body 53 that holds the vicinity of the outer periphery of the top of a cylindrical transparent body 51 that is formed with a stopper stopper 52 having a slightly thicker diameter at the tip and provided with a stepped portion. The cylindrical transparent body 51 is screwed, and the lower end of the handle body 53 set with handles 54 and 54 protruding from both sides is screwed with a male screw 62 carved on the outer periphery of the transparent rod insertion port of the adapter 6. A cover body 56 in which a female screw 55 is engraved on the inner wall is formed.

  The adapter 6 has a slightly larger diameter than the outer diameter of the cylindrical transparent body 51 and is provided with an insertion hole in the center thereof that forms a gap 61 on the outer periphery of the transparent rod when inserted, and an upper end is provided with an O-ring 63 on the outer periphery. A fitting portion 64 that fits into a fitting recess 57 formed in the upper portion of the cover body 56 of the handle body 53 and a male screw 62 that engages with the female screw 55 of the cover body 56 are engraved on the outer periphery of the fitting portion 64, and a spanner hook is provided. 66 is formed. In addition, when hand-tightening without using a wrench, it becomes the shape which replaced with the wrench hook 66 and knurled the cylindrical operation part outer periphery.

  In the inspection, first, the cap 17 of the water tap 1 with saddle is removed and screwed into the water supply pipe mounting port 4, and the ball valve body 15 is rotated to open the drilling machine insertion hole 41 and the adapter. 6 is provided on the inner wall of the lower end portion of the insertion hole of the transparent rod of the adapter and the male screw 42 engraved on the outer periphery of the opening hole 18 of the upper portion of the water faucet that becomes the insertion port of the perforator insertion hole 41 at the top of the water faucet with saddle. The female screw 65 is set by screwing.

When the transparent bar 5 is inserted and lowered from the top of the adapter 6 set at the top of the water faucet with saddle, the water and air in the perforator insertion hole are pushed away by the water pressure and volume of the transparent bar 5 as it descends, and the cylinder Is discharged to the outside through a gap 61 formed by a difference in diameter between the diameter of the transparent body 51 and the inner diameter of the punching machine insertion hole. Reference numeral 68 denotes a sliding guide member made of a flexible material such as resin, which smoothly guides the insertion and lowering of the transparent bar 5 and contributes to the discharge of water and air through the gap 61.

When further lowered, the fitting portion 64 at the top of the adapter 6 is fitted into the fitting recess 57 formed in the upper portion of the cover body 56, and the lower end of the cover body 56 abuts the upper portion of the adapter. While the screw 55 and the male screw 62 of the adapter body are screwed together, the transparent rod 5 is lowered to the vicinity of the inspection site, whereby the saddle-equipped water faucet internal inspection tool is set at the top of the water faucet with saddle.

Since the water and air inside the water faucet with a saddle are eliminated by setting the inspection tool inside the water faucet with a saddle, and the cylindrical transparent body 51 having pure transparency is interposed in the insertion hole of the drilling machine, The inspection part can be clearly seen from the top of 5. In addition, when the light intensity inside the water faucet with a saddle is insufficient, such as at night, the cap 17 that is screwed onto the water supply pipe attachment port 4 may be removed, and irradiation with light from the water supply pipe attachment port 4 may be performed. .

After completion of the inspection, the transparent rod 5 is pulled up, the ball valve body 15 is rotated and closed, and the saddle-equipped water faucet internal inspection tool is removed.
