A method has been disclosed in which crushed pieces that have been disposed of are discarded, and crushed pieces that do not contain a heating wire are pelletized and reused (Patent Document 1).

しかし、EF継手に関する上記の方法は、何れも、加熱ワイヤと端子金具は、合成樹脂製の継手本体に組み込まれた状態で廃棄されており、資源循環の観点から好ましくないという問題があった。   However, any of the above-described methods relating to the EF joint has a problem that the heating wire and the terminal fitting are disposed in a state of being assembled in the joint body made of a synthetic resin, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of resource circulation.

図1には、本実施形態における「EF継手のリサイクル方法」のフロー図を示している。以下、図1に示す各工程について説明する。   FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of a “method of recycling an EF joint” in the present embodiment. Hereinafter, each step shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

(端子金具引き抜き工程)
端子金具引き抜き工程では、EF継手から端子金具の引き抜きを行う。
(Terminal metal removal process)
In the terminal fitting extracting step, the terminal fitting is extracted from the EF joint.

EF継手は、図2に示すように、継手本体1に、加熱ワイヤ2と、端子金具3を組み込んで構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the EF joint is configured by incorporating a heating wire 2 and a terminal fitting 3 into a joint main body 1.

継手本体1は、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリブテン等のポリオレフィンやポリ塩化ビニルなどの熱可塑性樹脂を用いて形成されている。継手本体1の内周面4側には、ニクロム線等の加熱ワイヤ2が螺旋状に埋設され、継手本体1の外周面5には、図2に示すa軸と直交する径方向で、外側に突出する一対の端子金具3が埋設されている。端子金具3は、加熱ワイヤ2の両端部に圧着接続されている。加熱ワイヤ2は継手本体1の内周面4の至近位置、例えば1mm以内の位置に埋設されている。   The joint body 1 is formed using a thermoplastic resin such as polyolefin such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polybutene and polyvinyl chloride. A heating wire 2 such as a nichrome wire is helically embedded on the inner peripheral surface 4 side of the joint main body 1, and the outer peripheral surface 5 of the joint main body 1 is formed on the outer peripheral surface 5 in a radial direction orthogonal to the a-axis shown in FIG. A pair of terminal fittings 3 protruding from the terminal are embedded. The terminal fittings 3 are connected by crimping to both ends of the heating wire 2. The heating wire 2 is buried at a position close to the inner peripheral surface 4 of the joint body 1, for example, at a position within 1 mm.

端子金具3は、図3に示すように、めねじ部6を備えた頭部7と、先端ピン部8からなり、図2に示すように先端ピン部8が継手本体1に埋設されている。頭部7は、図2に示すように、継手本体1の外周面5を突出させて形成した囲繞部9によって囲まれている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal fitting 3 includes a head 7 having a female thread 6 and a tip pin 8. The tip pin 8 is embedded in the joint body 1 as shown in FIG. 2. . As shown in FIG. 2, the head 7 is surrounded by a surrounding portion 9 formed by projecting the outer peripheral surface 5 of the joint main body 1.

端子金具引き抜き工程では、図4に示す引き抜き工具10を使用して、「てこの原理」により端子金具3の引き抜きを行う。   In the terminal fitting extracting step, the terminal fitting 3 is extracted using the extraction tool 10 shown in FIG. 4 according to the “leverage principle”.

引き抜き工具10は、図4(b)に示すように、へら状の金属材13の先端を傾斜させ、傾斜させた先端部分に、端子金具3のめねじ部6と螺合するおねじ部11を有している。また、金属材13が傾斜する直前の位置には、上記の「てこの原理」で支点として機能する支柱部12を有している。おねじ部11は、金属材13の先端に形成された長孔22に蝶ボルト20を取り付けて形成され、支柱部12は、支柱部材14を金属材13に六角ボルト15で固定して形成されている。図4に示すように支柱部12は引き抜き工具10の幅方向に2本設けられ、2点の支点を形成している。なお蝶ボルト20は長孔22よりも大径の頭部を備えており、長孔22の内部で回転及び移動可能であるとともに、金属材13に対して首振り可能となっている。これによって端子金具3を真っ直ぐに引き抜くことが可能となる。   As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the extraction tool 10 has a spatula-shaped metal material 13 inclining the tip, and the inclined tip portion has a male thread 11 screwed into the female thread 6 of the terminal fitting 3. have. In addition, at a position immediately before the metal material 13 is tilted, the column 12 that functions as a fulcrum according to the above “leverage principle” is provided. The male screw portion 11 is formed by attaching a wing bolt 20 to a long hole 22 formed at the tip of the metal material 13, and the support portion 12 is formed by fixing a support member 14 to the metal material 13 with a hexagon bolt 15. ing. As shown in FIG. 4, two support portions 12 are provided in the width direction of the extraction tool 10 and form two support points. Note that the wing bolt 20 has a head portion having a larger diameter than the elongated hole 22, is rotatable and movable inside the elongated hole 22, and is swingable with respect to the metal material 13. This makes it possible to pull out the terminal fitting 3 straight.

端子金具引き抜き工程では、まず、図5に示すように、蝶ボルト20を回転させて引き抜き工具10の先端のおねじ部11を、端子金具3のめねじ部6に螺合させる。   In the terminal fitting extracting step, first, as shown in FIG. 5, the wing bolt 20 is rotated to screw the external thread 11 of the tip of the extraction tool 10 into the female thread 6 of the terminal fitting 3.

続いて、図6に示すように、支柱部12の下端を、継手本体1の外周面5に当接させた上で、引き抜き工具10の把持部21に下向きの力を加える。このとき、継手本体1の外周面5に当接した支柱部12の下端が「支点」、下向きの力を受ける把持部21が「力点」、おねじ部11とめねじ部6が螺合した点が「作用点」となる。「力点」に加えたれた下向きの小さな力が、「支点」を媒介して、「作用点」で上向きの大きな力となるため、小さな力で簡単に端子金具3の引き抜きを行うことができる。このとき加熱ワイヤ2は継手本体1の内部に残ったまま、端子金具3のみが加熱ワイヤ2から引きちぎられるように分離し、引き抜かれる。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6, a downward force is applied to the grip portion 21 of the extraction tool 10 after the lower end of the column portion 12 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface 5 of the joint body 1. At this time, the lower end of the support portion 12 abutting on the outer peripheral surface 5 of the joint body 1 is a "fulcrum", the grip portion 21 receiving the downward force is a "force point", and the point at which the male screw portion 11 and the female screw portion 6 are screwed. Becomes the “action point”. The small downward force applied to the "point of force" becomes a large upward force at the "point of action" via the "fulcrum", so that the terminal fitting 3 can be easily pulled out with a small force. At this time, with the heating wire 2 remaining inside the joint main body 1, only the terminal fitting 3 is separated and pulled out from the heating wire 2 so as to be torn off.

(加熱ワイヤ露出工程)
加熱ワイヤ露出工程では、前記工程で端子金具3を引き抜いた後の継手本体1から、加熱ワイヤ2の先端を露出させる。
(Heating wire exposure process)
In the heating wire exposing step, the distal end of the heating wire 2 is exposed from the joint body 1 after the terminal fitting 3 has been pulled out in the above step.

加熱ワイヤ2は、前記のように、継手本体1の内周面4側に螺旋状に埋設されているため、加熱ワイヤ露出工程では、図7に示すように、継手本体1の内周面4のうち、端子金具3の引き抜き前に端子金具3が存在した箇所に対向する箇所を中心に、半田ごて19を押し当てて継手本体1を溶出させて、加熱ワイヤ2の先端を露出させる。   As described above, since the heating wire 2 is helically embedded on the inner peripheral surface 4 side of the joint main body 1, in the heating wire exposing step, as shown in FIG. Of these, the soldering iron 19 is pressed against a location facing the location where the terminal fitting 3 was present before the terminal fitting 3 was pulled out to elute the joint body 1 and expose the tip of the heating wire 2.

端子金具3は、加熱ワイヤ2の両端部に圧着接続されているため、端子金具3を引き抜いた後の加熱ワイヤ2は、2つの「先端」を有するが、加熱ワイヤ露出工程では、いずれか一方の「先端」を露出させればよい。   Since the terminal fitting 3 is crimped to both ends of the heating wire 2, the heating wire 2 after the terminal fitting 3 has been pulled out has two “tips”. What is necessary is to expose the "tip" of.

加熱ワイヤ露出工程では、半田ごてを用いた上記手法の他に、たがねを用いて加熱ワイヤの先端を叩き出す方法や、バーナーを用いて加熱ワイヤの先端を炙り出す方法や、継手本体を半割にして加熱ワイヤの先端を引き出す方法も考えられるが、作業負荷や安全性の観点から、半田ごてを用いた上記手法が最も好ましい。   In the heating wire exposure step, in addition to the above method using a soldering iron, a method of tapping the tip of the heating wire using a tip, a method of roasting the tip of the heating wire using a burner, The method of using a soldering iron is most preferable from the viewpoint of work load and safety.

(加熱ワイヤ取り出し工程)
加熱ワイヤ取り出し工程では、加熱ワイヤ露出工程で露出させた加熱ワイヤの先端を保持具で保持しながら、図8に示す保持具16を使用して、加熱ワイヤ2を巻き取りながら、継手本体1から、加熱ワイヤの取り出しを行う。
(Heating wire removal process)
In the heating wire taking-out step, while holding the tip of the heating wire exposed in the heating wire exposing step with the holding tool, the heating wire 2 is wound up using the holding tool 16 shown in FIG. Then, the heating wire is taken out.

保持具16は、加熱ワイヤ2を保持する保持部17を備えた電動式巻き取り工具である。   The holder 16 is an electric winding tool provided with a holder 17 for holding the heating wire 2.

図9に示すように、保持部17は金属製の円筒体であり、その先端には加熱ワイヤ2を差し込むことができる幅の溝部18が形成され、図8に示すように、基端には電動工具のチャック23に係合保持されるシャンク24を備えている。   As shown in FIG. 9, the holding portion 17 is a metal cylindrical body, and a groove portion 18 having a width into which the heating wire 2 can be inserted is formed at the distal end, and as shown in FIG. A shank 24 is provided which is engaged with and held by the chuck 23 of the power tool.

加熱ワイヤ取り出し工程では、図10に示すように、保持部17の先端が、円筒状の継手本体1の内部空間に位置するように配置して、加熱ワイヤ露出工程で露出させた加熱ワイヤ2の先端を溝部18に引っ掛けて保持した後、保持部17を電動回転させて、継手本体1の内部空間で、その中心軸方向に加熱ワイヤ2の巻き取りを行う。前記したように加熱ワイヤ2は継手本体1の内周面4の至近位置に埋設されているため、容易に内側に引き出され、保持部17の外周に巻きつくようにして取り出される。なお各図面には示されていないが、この加熱ワイヤ取り出し工程を含む各工程では、継手本体1をバイスにより固定しながら作業を行なうことが好ましい。   In the heating wire take-out step, as shown in FIG. 10, the tip of the holding portion 17 is disposed so as to be located in the internal space of the cylindrical joint body 1, and the heating wire 2 exposed in the heating wire exposure step is exposed. After the tip is hooked and held in the groove portion 18, the holding portion 17 is electrically rotated to wind up the heating wire 2 in the inner space of the joint body 1 in the direction of the central axis. As described above, since the heating wire 2 is buried at a position close to the inner peripheral surface 4 of the joint main body 1, the heating wire 2 is easily pulled out inward, and is taken out so as to wind around the outer periphery of the holding portion 17. Although not shown in each drawing, in each step including the heating wire take-out step, it is preferable to perform the work while fixing the joint main body 1 with a vise.

上記のように本発明によれば、EF継手のリサイクルに際し、熱可塑性樹脂製の継手本体1と、加熱ワイヤ2と、端子金具3を完全に分離することができるため、EF継手の粉砕後に粉砕片の比重差を利用して分別を行う従来技術に比べて、EF継手の資源循環効率を改善する技術、具体的には、EF継手のリサイクル過程で排出される廃棄物を削減し、EF継手を構成する部材(継手本体と加熱ワイヤと端子金具)を効率よくリサイクルすることができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, when recycling an EF joint, the joint body 1 made of a thermoplastic resin, the heating wire 2, and the terminal fitting 3 can be completely separated. A technology for improving the resource circulation efficiency of EF joints compared to the conventional technology of separating using the specific gravity difference between pieces, specifically, reducing waste discharged in the process of recycling EF joints, Can be efficiently recycled (the joint body, the heating wire, and the terminal fittings).

(他の実施形態)
上記の実施形態では、EF継手として、大径部と小径部とをテーパ部で接続した「異径ソケット」を用いて説明したが、本発明は、異径ソケットのみを対象とするものではなく、図11に示す「同径ソケット」や、その他、エルボ、チーズ、キャップ、サドルなどの様々なEF継手を対象とすることができる。
(Other embodiments)
In the embodiment described above, the EF joint is described using the “different diameter socket” in which the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion are connected by the tapered portion. However, the present invention is not intended only for the different diameter socket. 11 and various other EF joints such as elbows, cheeses, caps, and saddles.

図11に示す「同径ソケット」では、継手本体1の左右に形成されたEF受口25、26に、それぞれ、加熱ワイヤ2a、2bが螺旋状に埋設され、更に、これらの加熱ワイヤ2a、2bを接続する加熱ワイヤ2cも埋設されている。この「同径ソケット」の内周面4には、左右のEF受口25、26を区切るストッパ27が形成されている。   In the “equal-diameter socket” shown in FIG. 11, heating wires 2a and 2b are helically embedded in EF receiving ports 25 and 26 formed on the left and right of the joint body 1, respectively. A heating wire 2c for connecting 2b is also buried. A stopper 27 is formed on the inner peripheral surface 4 of the “same-diameter socket” to divide the left and right EF receptacles 25 and 26.

上記の実施形態では、めねじ部を備える端子金具3を前提として、端子金具引き抜き工程では、端子金具のめねじ部に引き抜き工具の先端のおねじを螺合させて作用点とし、かつ継手本体の外周面を支点として、てこの原理により、端子金具を継手本体から引き抜く方法を説明したが、端子金具3の引き抜き方法は特に限定されず、例えば、端子金具の頭部をペンチで保持して引っ張る方法や、端子金具の頭部をラチェットレンチで締込んでねじ切る方法などを採用することもできる。   In the above embodiment, assuming that the terminal fitting 3 has an internal thread, in the terminal fitting extracting step, an external thread at the tip of the extraction tool is screwed into the internal thread of the terminal fitting to make an action point, and The method of pulling out the terminal fitting from the joint body by the principle of leverage using the outer peripheral surface of the terminal as a fulcrum has been described. However, the method of pulling out the terminal fitting 3 is not particularly limited. For example, the head of the terminal fitting is held with pliers. A method of pulling, a method of tightening the head of the terminal fitting with a ratchet wrench, and cutting the terminal fitting can also be adopted.

上記の実施形態では、加熱ワイヤ露出工程において加熱ワイヤ2の「先端」を露出させる方法を説明したが、露出させる加熱ワイヤ2の位置は特に限定されず、例えば、図11に示す「同径ソケット」をリサイクルする際には、加熱ワイヤ2a、2bを接続する加熱ワイヤ2cを露出させることもできる。この場合、露出させた加熱ワイヤ2cを切断して、加熱ワイヤ2aと加熱ワイヤ2bを、それぞれ、別々に引き抜くことが好ましい。   In the above-described embodiment, the method of exposing the “tip” of the heating wire 2 in the heating wire exposing step has been described. However, the position of the heating wire 2 to be exposed is not particularly limited. When recycling "", the heating wire 2c connecting the heating wires 2a and 2b can be exposed. In this case, it is preferable that the exposed heating wire 2c is cut, and the heating wire 2a and the heating wire 2b are separately pulled out.

上記の実施形態では、保持具16の保持部17を電動回転させて、加熱ワイヤ2の巻き取りを行う方法を説明したが、加熱ワイヤ2の取り出し方法は特に限定されず、例えば、加熱ワイヤ2の一部を保持させた保持部17を、継手本体1の中心で固定し、その周りで継手本体1を回転させる等の方法によって加熱ワイヤ2の巻き取りを行うこともできる。   In the above embodiment, the method of winding the heating wire 2 by electrically rotating the holder 17 of the holder 16 has been described.
