Description

この発明は、内部に流体が流れる内部流路が形成されて、樹脂製管継手もしくは他の樹脂製チューブ部材と端部の溶着により連結される樹脂製チューブ部材、樹脂製チューブ部材の製造方法、樹脂製管継手及び、樹脂製配管に関するものであり、特に、樹脂製チューブ部材を樹脂製管継手もしくは他の樹脂製チューブ部材と端部で溶着した際に発生し得る、いわゆる内ビードを有効に抑制できる技術を提案するものである。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, a resin tube member in which an internal flow path through which fluid flows is formed and connected to a resin pipe joint or another resin tube member by welding at the end, a method for manufacturing a resin tube member, It relates to resin pipe joints and resin pipes, and in particular, effectively utilizes so-called inner beads that may occur when a resin tube member is welded to a resin pipe joint or another resin tube member at an end. It proposes a technology that can be suppressed.

様々な産業で用いられる薬液輸送ライン等の樹脂製配管は、溶着機を用いて、熱可塑性樹脂等からなる樹脂製管継手や樹脂製チューブ部材のそれぞれの端部を互いに突き合わせて溶着させることにより製造されることがある。 Resin pipes such as chemical transport lines used in various industries are welded by abutting each end of a resin pipe joint made of thermoplastic resin or the like or a resin tube member by using a welding machine. May be manufactured.

このような樹脂製配管の製造方法の一例を詳説すれば、たとえば、溶着機の対をなすクランプ治具のそれぞれに、二個の樹脂製チューブ部材や樹脂製管継手のそれぞれを、それらの端部が互いに対向する姿勢で保持させる。次いで、各クランプ治具に保持させた二個の樹脂製チューブ部材等のそれぞれの端部を、ヒーター等によって加熱することで、それらの端部を溶融させ、その状態で、二個の樹脂製チューブ部材等を互いに接近させて、当該端部を所要の圧力の作用により突き合わせて溶着させる。このような樹脂製チューブ部材等の端部どうしの溶着を繰り返し行って樹脂製チューブ部材等を連結していくことで、所定の形状の配管を製造することができる。 To elaborate on an example of such a method for manufacturing a resin pipe, for example, two resin tube members and resin pipe joints are attached to each of the clamp jigs paired with the welding machine at their ends. Hold the parts in a posture facing each other. Next, the ends of the two resin tube members held by each clamp jig are heated by a heater or the like to melt the ends, and in that state, the two resin tubes are made. The tube members and the like are brought close to each other, and the ends thereof are abutted and welded by the action of a required pressure. By repeatedly welding the ends of the resin tube member or the like to connect the resin tube member or the like, a pipe having a predetermined shape can be manufactured.

ここで、樹脂製チューブ部材どうしを、又は樹脂製チューブ部材と他の樹脂製管継手とを上述したようにして連結するには、十分な溶着強度を得るため、端部を溶着させるに先立って所定の高い温度で加熱するとともに、その後に端部どうしを突き合わせる際に所定の大きな圧力を作用させることが必要になる。
しかるに、この場合、そのような加熱及び加圧に起因して、突き合わせた際に溶融状態の端部で溶融樹脂の流れが生じて、そこで樹脂が内面より内周側に盛り上がった状態で硬化し、溶着部の内面に隆起部が形成されることがある。かかる隆起部は、内ビードと称されることがある。そして、配管の溶着部の内面に形成された内ビードは、部分的に管路内径を狭めるので、液体の通流時に、そこに液溜まりを生じさせるとともに流量の低下を招くという問題がある。
Here, in order to connect the resin tube members or the resin tube member and another resin pipe joint as described above, in order to obtain sufficient welding strength, prior to welding the ends. It is necessary to heat at a predetermined high temperature and then apply a predetermined large pressure when abutting the ends.
However, in this case, due to such heating and pressurization, a flow of the molten resin is generated at the end of the molten state at the time of abutting, and the resin is cured in a state of being raised from the inner surface to the inner peripheral side. , A raised portion may be formed on the inner surface of the welded portion. Such a ridge is sometimes referred to as an inner bead. Further, since the inner bead formed on the inner surface of the welded portion of the pipe partially narrows the inner diameter of the pipeline, there is a problem that when the liquid flows, a liquid pool is generated there and the flow rate is lowered.

この問題に対し、特許文献1では、「合成樹脂製管状部材同士の溶着方法」で、「第1および第2の合成樹脂製管状部材の端部を加熱して溶融させた後、端面同士を突き合わせて溶着する方法であって、突き合わせ時に両管状部材に内圧をかけること」、「加熱前に、両管状部材の突き合わせ端部内径部分を面取りすること」が提案されている。そして、この方法によれば、「突き合わせ部に存在するビード部内面の凸量を小さくすることができ、こうして得られた管状部材を配管に使用することにより、接合部が液体のスムーズな流れを阻害することがなく、また、接合部が液だまりとなって液体の置換に要する時間を長くすることも防止される。」とされている。 In response to this problem, in Patent Document 1, "a method of welding synthetic resin tubular members", "after heating and melting the ends of the first and second synthetic resin tubular members, the end faces are joined to each other. It is a method of butt welding, in which internal pressure is applied to both tubular members at the time of butt welding, and "chamfering of the inner diameter portion of the butt end portion of both tubular members before heating" has been proposed. Then, according to this method, "the convex amount of the inner surface of the bead portion existing in the butt portion can be reduced, and by using the tubular member thus obtained for the piping, the joint portion allows a smooth flow of the liquid. It is not hindered, and it is also possible to prevent the joint from becoming a liquid pool and prolonging the time required for liquid replacement. "

特許文献1の提案技術では、樹脂製チューブ部材等の端部どうしを突き合わせて溶着する際に内圧をかけることから、溶着機とともに、その内圧をかけるための加圧装置が必要になって設備コストが増大するとともに、加圧による作業時間の増大を招くという他の問題があった。特に、複数個の樹脂製チューブ部材や樹脂製管継手を順次に連結して配管を構成する場合、それらの端部どうしを溶着させるたびに、加圧装置を配置しなければならず、配管の製造能率の低下が否めない。 In the technique proposed in Patent Document 1, internal pressure is applied when the ends of resin tube members and the like are butted against each other and welded, so that a welding machine and a pressurizing device for applying the internal pressure are required, which requires equipment cost. There was another problem that the working time was increased due to pressurization. In particular, when a plurality of resin tube members and resin pipe joints are sequentially connected to form a pipe, a pressurizing device must be arranged each time the ends thereof are welded to each other. It is undeniable that the production efficiency has declined.

以下に図面を参照しながら、この発明の実施の形態について詳細に説明する。
図1に例示する樹脂製チューブ部材1は、内部に、薬液等の液体もしくは気体その他の流体が流れる内部流路Pが形成された直線もしくは曲線状の直管もしくは曲管形状のチューブ本体2と、そのチューブ本体2の外周側でチューブ本体2の少なくとも本体端部2aの周囲を覆って配置されて、チューブ本体2に固定ないし固着された円筒等の筒状をなす外筒3とを有してなるものである。
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
The resin tube member 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 has a straight or curved straight tube or curved tube body 2 in which an internal flow path P through which a liquid such as a chemical solution or a gas or other fluid flows is formed. The outer tube 3 has a tubular shape such as a cylinder, which is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the tube body 2 so as to cover at least the periphery of the end portion 2a of the tube body 2 and is fixed or fixed to the tube body 2. It is made up of.

樹脂製チューブ部材1を構成するチューブ本体2及び外筒3は、それぞれパーフルオロアルコキシアルカン(PFA)、パーフルオロエチレンプロペンコポリマー(FEP)又はポリエーテルエーテルケトン(PEEK)等の樹脂材料からなるものであり、相互に同種もしくは異種の樹脂材料を用いて形成することができる。 The tube body 2 and the outer cylinder 3 constituting the resin tube member 1 are made of a resin material such as perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA), perfluoroethylene propene copolymer (FEP), or polyetheretherketone (PEEK), respectively. Yes, they can be formed using the same or different resin materials.

ここで、この樹脂製チューブ部材1では、図2に拡大図で示すように、外筒3の外筒端部3aを、その内周側に配置されたチューブ本体2の本体端部2aよりも軸線方向ADの外側に突き出るように位置させ、それにより、外筒端部3aの内面と本体端部2aの内面との間に、径方向の高さの内面段差4が形成されている。 Here, in the resin tube member 1, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, the outer cylinder end 3a of the outer cylinder 3 is more than the main body end 2a of the tube body 2 arranged on the inner peripheral side thereof. It is positioned so as to protrude to the outside of the axial direction AD, whereby an inner surface step 4 having a height in the radial direction is formed between the inner surface of the outer cylinder end portion 3a and the inner surface of the main body end portion 2a.

より詳細には、樹脂製チューブ部材1は、軸線方向ADの内側のチューブ本体2が存在する部分では、当該チューブ本体2の相対的に小さな内径Dtを有するが、樹脂製チューブ部材1の端部における内面段差4より軸線方向ADの外側では、本体端部2aよりも外筒端部3aが軸線方向ADの外側に突き出てチューブ本体2が存在しなくなって、外筒端部3aの相対的に大きな内径Dcを有する。その結果として、樹脂製チューブ部材1の端部には、内面段差4と外筒端部3aの内面とで区画される拡径スペース5が形成されている。 More specifically, the resin tube member 1 has a relatively small inner diameter Dt of the tube body 2 in the portion where the tube body 2 inside the axial direction AD exists, but the end portion of the resin tube member 1. On the outside of the axial direction AD from the inner surface step 4 in the above, the outer cylinder end portion 3a protrudes to the outside of the axial direction AD from the main body end portion 2a, and the tube main body 2 does not exist, so that the outer cylinder end portion 3a is relatively relative. It has a large inner diameter Dc. As a result, an enlarged diameter space 5 is formed at the end of the resin tube member 1 so as to be partitioned by the inner surface step 4 and the inner surface of the outer cylinder end 3a.

このような樹脂製チューブ部材1を用いて配管を製造するには、樹脂製チューブ部材1と他の樹脂製チューブ部材もしくは樹脂製管継手とを端部で溶着することによる、樹脂製チューブ部材どうしの連結及び/又は、樹脂製チューブ部材と樹脂製管継手との連結を繰り返す。
かかる端部の溶着は具体的には、たとえば、図示しない溶着機の対をなすクランプ治具のそれぞれに、樹脂製チューブ部材1の端部と他の樹脂製チューブ部材もしくは樹脂製管継手の端部とが互いに対向する姿勢で、それらの樹脂製チューブ部材1等をそれぞれ保持させ、その後、クランプ治具に保持させた樹脂製チューブ部材1等の両端部を、ヒーターその他の加熱装置によって加熱して溶融させた状態で、樹脂製チューブ部材1等を互いに接近させ、それらの端部を、所要の圧力の作用により突き合わせることにより行うことができる。
In order to manufacture a pipe using such a resin tube member 1, the resin tube members 1 are welded to each other by welding the resin tube member 1 with another resin tube member or a resin pipe joint at an end. And / or the connection between the resin tube member and the resin pipe joint is repeated.
Specifically, for example, the end of the resin tube member 1 and the end of another resin tube member or resin pipe joint are welded to each of the clamp jigs that form a pair of welding machines (not shown). Each of the resin tube members 1 and the like is held in a posture in which the portions face each other, and then both ends of the resin tube member 1 and the like held by the clamp jig are heated by a heater or other heating device. This can be done by bringing the resin tube members 1 and the like closer to each other in the molten state and abutting their ends by the action of a required pressure.

ここにおいて、この樹脂製チューブ部材1は、図3に示すように、その外筒端部3aで、樹脂製管継手11の継手端部11a等と溶着させて連結する。
このことによれば、端部の溶着の際に、樹脂製管継手11の継手端部11aと所定の圧力で溶融状態にて突き合わせられる外筒端部3aでは、当該圧力の作用によりその樹脂部分21が径方向に流れて内周側に移動するも、図4に示すように、かかる樹脂部分21は、そこに内面段差4を介して設けられた拡径スペース5に入り込むので、樹脂部分21が、配管の管路の一部をなすチューブ本体2の内部流路Pの内面より内周側まで盛り上がることが防止される。それ故に、液溜まりや流量の低下といった問題を招く内ビードの発生を有効に抑制することができる。その結果として、内ビードの形成を考慮することなしに溶着時の加熱及び加圧条件を設定することができるので、端部どうしを十分に高い強度で溶着させることが可能になる。
Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the resin tube member 1 is welded and connected to the joint end 11a of the resin pipe joint 11 at the outer cylinder end 3a.
According to this, at the time of welding the end portion, the resin portion of the outer cylinder end portion 3a, which is abutted against the joint end portion 11a of the resin pipe joint 11 in a molten state at a predetermined pressure, is affected by the action of the pressure. Although the 21 flows in the radial direction and moves to the inner peripheral side, as shown in FIG. 4, the resin portion 21 enters the enlarged diameter space 5 provided there through the inner surface step 4, so that the resin portion 21 However, it is prevented from rising from the inner surface to the inner peripheral side of the inner flow path P of the tube main body 2 which forms a part of the pipe line of the pipe. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the generation of inner beads that cause problems such as liquid pooling and a decrease in flow rate. As a result, the heating and pressurizing conditions at the time of welding can be set without considering the formation of the inner bead, so that the ends can be welded with sufficiently high strength.

したがって、このようにして製造される樹脂製配管は、それが備える樹脂製チューブ部材1と他の樹脂製チューブ部材もしくは樹脂製管継手11との連結箇所Cpや、樹脂製チューブ部材1どうしの連結箇所の内側では、図4に示すように、内面段差4の少なくとも一部が外筒端部3aの樹脂部分21で充填されることになるが、その連結箇所Cpは、チューブ本体2の内径Dtと等しいか、又は内径Dtより大きな内径を有することが好ましい。つまり、製造される樹脂製配管の連結箇所Cpで、チューブ本体2の内径Dtよりも内径を小さくする内ビードのような隆起部が存在しなくなるように、樹脂製チューブ部材1の内面段差4や外筒3、チューブ本体2等の寸法形状を設計する。
具体的には、連結箇所Cpでの内径がチューブ本体2の内径Dt以上である場合、連結箇所Cpでの内径とチューブ本体2の内径Dtとの差は、好ましくは、連結箇所Cpの最も径が大きくなる部分で、0mm以上かつ1mm以下とする。連結箇所Cpでの内径がチューブ本体2の内径Dtよりも大きくなりすぎると、液溜りが生じることが懸念される。
Therefore, the resin pipe produced in this way has a connection point Cp between the resin tube member 1 provided therein and another resin tube member or a resin pipe joint 11, and a connection between the resin tube members 1. Inside the portion, as shown in FIG. 4, at least a part of the inner surface step 4 is filled with the resin portion 21 of the outer cylinder end portion 3a, and the connecting portion Cp is the inner diameter Dt of the tube body 2. It is preferable to have an inner diameter equal to or larger than the inner diameter Dt. That is, the inner surface step 4 of the resin tube member 1 and the inner surface step 4 so that there is no ridge such as an inner bead whose inner diameter is smaller than the inner diameter Dt of the tube body 2 at the connecting portion Cp of the manufactured resin pipe. Design the dimensions and shape of the outer cylinder 3, tube body 2, etc.
Specifically, when the inner diameter at the connecting portion Cp is equal to or larger than the inner diameter Dt of the tube body 2, the difference between the inner diameter at the connecting portion Cp and the inner diameter Dt of the tube body 2 is preferably the largest diameter of the connecting portion Cp. The part where is large is 0 mm or more and 1 mm or less. If the inner diameter at the connecting portion Cp becomes too large than the inner diameter Dt of the tube body 2, there is a concern that liquid pooling may occur.

なおここで、図示の実施形態では、外筒3は、チューブ本体2の本体端部2aを含む端部側部分を覆う領域に配置されている。但し、外筒は、チューブ本体の周囲を軸線方向の全体にわたって覆うように設けられた場合であっても、外筒端部に内面段差が形成されていれば、上述したような内ビード抑制効果を奏することができるので、外筒は、少なくとも本体端部を覆って配置されていればよい。 Here, in the illustrated embodiment, the outer cylinder 3 is arranged in a region covering the end portion side portion including the main body end portion 2a of the tube main body 2. However, even when the outer cylinder is provided so as to cover the entire circumference of the tube body in the axial direction, if an inner surface step is formed at the end of the outer cylinder, the inner bead suppressing effect as described above is obtained. Therefore, the outer cylinder may be arranged so as to cover at least the end portion of the main body.

外筒3は、チューブ本体2に溶着されていること、特に後述するようなインサート成形によりチューブ本体2に溶着されていることが好ましいが、これに限らず、たとえば接着剤の使用または、外筒及びチューブ本体のそれぞれに形成する図示しない凹部及び凸部等の嵌合ないし係合その他の種々の手法により固定ないし固着されていてもよい。 The outer cylinder 3 is preferably welded to the tube main body 2, and particularly preferably welded to the tube main body 2 by insert molding as described later, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the use of an adhesive or the outer cylinder. And the concave portion and the convex portion (not shown) formed in each of the tube main body may be fixed or fixed by fitting or engaging or other various methods.

外筒端部3aと本体端部2aとで形成される内面段差4は、その径方向の高さHsが0.5mm〜1.5mmであることが好適である。内面段差4の径方向の高さHsが0.5mmより小さい場合は、外筒端部3aで樹脂製継手11の継手端部11a等と溶着した際に、樹脂部分21の盛り上がりを許容する内面段差4が小さすぎることによって、そこで内ビードが内周側へ隆起して形成されるおそれがある。この一方で、内面段差4の径方向の高さHsを1.5mmより大きくすれば、溶着強度不足や液溜りが懸念される。 The inner surface step 4 formed by the outer cylinder end portion 3a and the main body end portion 2a preferably has a height Hs in the radial direction of 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. When the radial height Hs of the inner surface step 4 is smaller than 0.5 mm, the inner surface that allows the resin portion 21 to swell when welded to the joint end portion 11a of the resin joint 11 at the outer cylinder end portion 3a. If the step 4 is too small, the inner bead may be raised and formed on the inner peripheral side. On the other hand, if the radial height Hs of the inner surface step 4 is made larger than 1.5 mm, there is a concern that the welding strength may be insufficient or liquid pooling may occur.

また、チューブ本体2の本体端部2aに対する外筒端部3aの軸線方向ADの突出長さLcは、たとえば、0.2mm〜1.0mmとすることが好ましい。外筒端部3aのこの突出長さLcが長すぎる場合は、液溜りが生じる可能性があり、この一方で、突出長さLcが短すぎる場合は、溶着時にチューブ本体2まで溶融し、チューブ本体2の内面を超える内ビードが発生するおそれがあるからである。 Further, the protrusion length Lc of the outer cylinder end portion 3a in the axial direction AD with respect to the main body end portion 2a of the tube main body 2 is preferably 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm, for example. If the protruding length Lc of the outer cylinder end 3a is too long, liquid pooling may occur, while if the protruding length Lc is too short, the tube body 2 is melted at the time of welding and the tube is formed. This is because an inner bead that exceeds the inner surface of the main body 2 may be generated.

図示の樹脂製チューブ部材1では、上述したような内面段差4により形成される拡径スペース5は、軸線方向ADに直交する平面に平行な本体端部2aの端面と、外筒端部3aの突出部分の内面とで区画されて、ほぼ矩形断面の環状をなす。 In the illustrated resin tube member 1, the enlarged diameter space 5 formed by the inner surface step 4 as described above is formed by the end surface of the main body end portion 2a parallel to the plane orthogonal to the axial direction AD and the outer cylinder end portion 3a. It is partitioned by the inner surface of the protruding portion to form an annular shape with a substantially rectangular cross section.

なおここで、樹脂製管継手11の継手端部11a等に溶着される外筒端部3aの端面3bの面積は、それとの間で内面段差4を形成する本体端部2aの端面の面積の二倍以上とすることが好ましい。これにより、樹脂製管継手11の継手端部11a等と十分強固に溶着させることができる。但し、外筒端部3aの端面3bの面積が大きすぎると、ヒケ等の外観不良となることが懸念されるので、外筒端部3aの端面3bの面積は、本体端部2aの端面の面積の三倍以下とすることができる。 Here, the area of the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a welded to the joint end portion 11a or the like of the resin pipe joint 11 is the area of the end surface of the main body end portion 2a forming the inner surface step 4 with the outer cylinder end portion 3a. It is preferable to double or more. As a result, it can be sufficiently firmly welded to the joint end portion 11a or the like of the resin pipe joint 11. However, if the area of the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a is too large, there is a concern that the appearance may be poor such as sink marks. Therefore, the area of the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a is the area of the end surface of the main body end portion 2a. It can be three times or less the area.

また、溶着時の内周側への樹脂部分の盛り上がりをより有効に防止するため、外筒端部3aの端面3bは、図示の実施形態のように、径方向の内側に向かうに従って次第に軸線方向ADの内側に奥まる向きに傾斜するテーパ形状を有するものとすることができる。より具体的には、外筒端部3aのテーパ形状をなす端面3bの傾斜角度θは、軸線方向ADに直交する平面に対して5°〜10°の範囲内であることが好適である。テーパ形状の端面3bの傾斜角度θを5°未満とすると内周側へ樹脂部分21が盛り上がり過ぎる懸念があり、傾斜角度θを10°より大きくすると溶着不足となるおそれがある。但し、このような外筒端部3aの端面3bのテーパ形状は必須の構成ではない。
なお図示は省略するが、このように外筒端部3aの端面3bをテーパ形状とすることに加えて又はそれに代えて、チューブ本体の本体端部の端面を同様のテーパ形状とすることも可能である。この場合、本体端部のテーパ形状の端面も、軸線方向に直交する平面に対して5°〜10°の範囲内で傾斜するものとすることができる。
Further, in order to more effectively prevent the resin portion from rising to the inner peripheral side at the time of welding, the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a is gradually axially oriented toward the inside in the radial direction as shown in the illustrated embodiment. It can have a tapered shape that inclines inwardly toward the inside of the AD. More specifically, the inclination angle θ of the tapered end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a is preferably in the range of 5 ° to 10 ° with respect to the plane orthogonal to the axial direction AD. If the inclination angle θ of the tapered end surface 3b is less than 5 °, there is a concern that the resin portion 21 rises too much toward the inner peripheral side, and if the inclination angle θ is larger than 10 °, welding may be insufficient. However, such a tapered shape of the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a is not an essential configuration.
Although not shown, in addition to or instead of having the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a having a tapered shape, the end surface of the main body end portion of the tube body can have a similar tapered shape. Is. In this case, the tapered end face of the main body end may also be inclined within a range of 5 ° to 10 ° with respect to a plane orthogonal to the axial direction.

上述したような外筒3及びそれによる内面段差4は、樹脂製チューブ部材1の両端部に形成されることが、両端部で溶着による内ビードの発生を有効に抑制するとの観点から好ましいが、各端部に溶着される他の樹脂製チューブ部材もしくは樹脂製管継手の端部の態様等に応じて、樹脂製チューブ部材1のいずれか一方の端部のみに、外筒3及び内面段差4が形成されていてもよい。外筒端部3aの端面3bのテーパ形状についても同様に、少なくとも一方の端部に設けることができる。 It is preferable that the outer cylinder 3 and the inner surface step 4 resulting from the above are formed at both ends of the resin tube member 1 from the viewpoint of effectively suppressing the generation of inner beads due to welding at both ends. Depending on the mode of the other resin tube member welded to each end or the end of the resin pipe joint, only one end of the resin tube member 1 has the outer cylinder 3 and the inner surface step 4 May be formed. Similarly, the tapered shape of the end surface 3b of the outer cylinder end portion 3a can be provided at at least one end portion.

なお、図5に示す変形例のように、外筒33の外筒端部33aの外面側に、軸線方向の外側で外径を小さくする外面段差34を設けることができる。この外面段差34は、樹脂製管継手11の継手端部11a等との溶着時における樹脂部分の外周側への盛り上がりを効果的に抑制することができるので、配管の配置スペースや外観の観点から好ましい。外面段差34の寸法形状は、端面の大きさなどの所定の条件に応じて適宜設定することができるが、内面段差4と同様の寸法形状としてもよい。 As in the modified example shown in FIG. 5, an outer surface step 34 that reduces the outer diameter on the outer side in the axial direction can be provided on the outer surface side of the outer cylinder end portion 33a of the outer cylinder 33. Since the outer surface step 34 can effectively suppress the swelling of the resin portion to the outer peripheral side at the time of welding with the joint end portion 11a of the resin pipe joint 11, from the viewpoint of the arrangement space of the pipe and the appearance. preferable. The dimensional shape of the outer surface step 34 can be appropriately set according to a predetermined condition such as the size of the end face, but the dimensional shape may be the same as that of the inner surface step 4.

また図6に示す他の変形例のように、外筒43の外筒端部43aの内面に、外筒端部43aの内面側及び軸線方向外側のそれぞれに開口して、軸線方向の外側で内径を大きくする内側凹部46を設けることができる。これにより、内ビードをより確実にチューブ内面よりも外周側に凹ませることができる。この場合であっても、外筒端部43aの端面43bは、チューブ本体2の本体端部2aの端面よりも軸線方向の外側に突き出て位置し、外筒端部43aの内面と本体端部2aの内面との間に内面段差4が形成される。
内側凹部46の軸線方向の形成領域は、たとえば、チューブ本体2の本体端部2aの端面より軸線方向内側に0.5mmの位置から、当該端面より軸線方向外側に1.0mmの位置までとすることができる。また、内側凹部46の径方向の長さは、たとえば0.5mm〜1.0mmとすることができる。
なお図6に示すところでは、外筒端部43aに、内側凹部46とともに外面段差44を設けているが、図示は省略するが、外面段差44を設けずに内側凹部46のみを設けてもよい。
Further, as in another modification shown in FIG. 6, the inner surface of the outer cylinder end 43a of the outer cylinder 43 is opened on the inner surface side and the axial outer side of the outer cylinder end 43a, respectively, on the outer side in the axial direction. An inner recess 46 that increases the inner diameter can be provided. As a result, the inner bead can be more reliably recessed on the outer peripheral side of the inner surface of the tube. Even in this case, the end surface 43b of the outer cylinder end portion 43a is located so as to protrude outward in the axial direction from the end surface of the main body end portion 2a of the tube main body 2, and the inner surface of the outer cylinder end portion 43a and the main body end portion. An inner surface step 4 is formed between the inner surface and the inner surface of 2a.
The axially formed region of the inner recess 46 is, for example, from a position 0.5 mm inward in the axial direction from the end surface of the main body end 2a of the tube body 2 to a position 1.0 mm outward in the axial direction from the end surface. be able to. The radial length of the inner recess 46 can be, for example, 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm.
In the place shown in FIG. 6, the outer cylinder end portion 43a is provided with the outer surface step 44 together with the inner recess 46, but although not shown, the outer surface step 44 may be provided and only the inner recess 46 may be provided. ..

樹脂製チューブ部材1と端部の溶着により連結される樹脂製管継手11の、樹脂製チューブ部材1の外筒端部3aと溶着される継手端部11aにも、樹脂製チューブ部材1のものと実質的に同様の内面段差12が設けられていることが好ましい。この場合、同様の観点から、継手端部11aの内面段差12の径方向の高さが0.5mm〜1.5mmであること、継手端部11aの端面11bが、径方向の内側に向かうに従って次第に軸線方向の内側に奥まる向きに傾斜するテーパ形状を有するものとし、テーパ形状の端面11bの傾斜角度が、軸線方向に直交する平面に対して5°〜10°の範囲内であることがそれぞれ好ましい。 Of the resin pipe joint 11 that is connected to the resin tube member 1 by welding the ends, the joint end 11a that is welded to the outer cylinder end 3a of the resin tube member 1 is also the one of the resin tube member 1. It is preferable that the inner surface step 12 substantially similar to the above is provided. In this case, from the same viewpoint, the radial height of the inner surface step 12 of the joint end portion 11a is 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, and the end surface 11b of the joint end portion 11a becomes inward in the radial direction. It shall have a tapered shape that gradually inclines inward in the axial direction, and the inclination angle of the end face 11b of the tapered shape shall be within the range of 5 ° to 10 ° with respect to the plane orthogonal to the axial direction. Each is preferable.

樹脂製管継手11としては、たとえば、内部流路が略L字状に折れ曲がるエルボや、内部流路が途中で分岐してT字状等をなすチーズ、内部流路の断面積が途中で変化するレデューサ等がある。 As the resin pipe joint 11, for example, an elbow in which the internal flow path is bent in a substantially L shape, cheese in which the internal flow path branches in the middle to form a T shape, etc., and a cross-sectional area of the internal flow path changes in the middle. There is a reducer etc.

以上に述べたような樹脂製チューブ部材1を製造する方法の一例を述べると、はじめに、所定の樹脂材料から押出成形等によりチューブ本体2を形成する本体成形工程を行う。ここでは、押出成形で長尺管状素材を形成し、これを所定の長さに切断することで、チューブ本体2を形成することもできる。この切断は、たとえば、長尺管状素材を大まかにカットする一段目の切断と、その後、高い精度で所定の長さにカットしつつ端面を仕上げる二段目の切断とに分けて行うことができる。 To describe an example of the method for manufacturing the resin tube member 1 as described above, first, a main body molding step of forming the tube main body 2 from a predetermined resin material by extrusion molding or the like is performed. Here, the tube body 2 can also be formed by forming a long tubular material by extrusion molding and cutting it to a predetermined length. This cutting can be divided into, for example, a first-stage cutting in which a long tubular material is roughly cut, and then a second-stage cutting in which the end face is finished while being cut to a predetermined length with high accuracy. ..

しかる後、チューブ本体2の少なくとも本体端部2aを射出成形金型内に配置し、その射出成形金型における、チューブ本体2の周囲に形成しようとする外筒3の形状に対応する内面形状のキャビティに樹脂材料を射出し、そこで当該樹脂材料を冷却硬化させて、チューブ本体2の外周側に外筒3を形成する外筒成形工程を行う。このようなインサート成形により、チューブ本体2の周囲の所定の位置に、所定の形状を有する外筒3を溶着させて形成することができるので、別途形成した外筒3をその後にチューブ本体2に固定ないし固着させる場合に比して、容易にかつ短時間で形成できる点で好ましい。 After that, at least the end portion 2a of the main body 2 of the tube main body 2 is arranged in the injection molding die, and the inner surface shape corresponding to the shape of the outer cylinder 3 to be formed around the tube main body 2 in the injection molding die. A resin material is injected into the cavity, and the resin material is cooled and cured there to perform an outer cylinder molding step of forming an outer cylinder 3 on the outer peripheral side of the tube body 2. By such insert molding, an outer cylinder 3 having a predetermined shape can be formed by welding to a predetermined position around the tube body 2, so that the separately formed outer cylinder 3 is subsequently attached to the tube body 2. It is preferable in that it can be formed easily and in a short time as compared with the case of fixing or fixing.

上記のようにインサート成形によりチューブ本体2の周囲に外筒3を形成する外筒成形工程の前に、チューブ本体2の少なくとも本体端部2aを加熱して半溶融状態にする事前加熱工程を行うことも可能である。これにより、外筒成形工程のインサート成形時に、チューブ本体2と外筒3とが強固に一体化することになる。但し、この事前加熱工程は省略してもよい。 Prior to the outer cylinder molding step of forming the outer cylinder 3 around the tube main body 2 by insert molding as described above, a preheating step of heating at least the main body end 2a of the tube main body 2 to make it in a semi-molten state is performed. It is also possible. As a result, the tube body 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are firmly integrated at the time of insert molding in the outer cylinder forming step. However, this preheating step may be omitted.

なおここで、射出成形金型のキャビティ形状を調整することにより、端面3bが上述したテーパ形状を有する外筒3を、チューブ本体2の周囲に成形することができる。あるいは、外筒成形工程では、軸線方向ADに直交する平面に平行な端面を有する外筒3を一旦形成し、外筒成形工程の後、端面カッター等を用いて、外筒端部3aの端面を当該テーパ形状に加工する端部加工工程を行うこともできる。 Here, by adjusting the cavity shape of the injection molding die, the outer cylinder 3 having the above-mentioned tapered end surface 3b can be molded around the tube main body 2. Alternatively, in the outer cylinder molding step, the outer cylinder 3 having an end face parallel to the plane orthogonal to the axial direction AD is once formed, and after the outer cylinder molding step, the end face of the outer cylinder end portion 3a is used by using an end face cutter or the like. It is also possible to carry out an end processing step of processing the taper shape.

次に、この発明の樹脂製チューブ部材を試作し、その性能を確認したので以下に説明する。但し、ここでの説明は単なる例示を目的としたものであり、これに限定されることを意図するものではない。 Next, the resin tube member of the present invention was prototyped and its performance was confirmed, which will be described below. However, the description here is for the purpose of mere illustration, and is not intended to be limited thereto.

比較例として、図7(a)に示すように、チューブ本体の外周側に外筒を、内面段差が生じないように端面どうしをほぼ同一平面上に位置させて溶着により固定した樹脂製チューブ部材を二本作製した。
これらの樹脂製チューブ部材を端部どうしで突き合わせて相互に溶着させて連結した。ここで、端部溶着時の加熱時間は80sec、押込み量は1.0mmとした。端部溶着後の連結箇所を確認したところ、図7(b)に示すように、径方向内側に1.5mmの大きさで起立した内ビードが形成された。
As a comparative example, as shown in FIG. 7A, a resin tube member in which an outer cylinder is placed on the outer peripheral side of the tube body and end faces are positioned on substantially the same plane so as not to cause a step on the inner surface and fixed by welding. We made two.
These resin tube members were butted against each other at the ends and welded to each other to be connected. Here, the heating time at the time of end welding was 80 sec, and the pushing amount was 1.0 mm. As a result of confirming the connecting portion after the end welding, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), an upright inner bead having a size of 1.5 mm was formed inward in the radial direction.

発明例1として、比較例と同様にしてチューブ本体の外周側に外筒を溶着固定した後、それぞれ、そのチューブ本体の本体端部を軸線方向に0.5mmずつ窪むように切削加工し、図8(a)に示すように、外筒端部の内面と本体端部の内面との内面段差が形成された樹脂製チューブ部材を二本作製した。
これらの樹脂製チューブ部材を、比較例と同様の条件の下、端部どうしで突き合わせて相互に溶着させて連結した。端部溶着後の連結箇所を確認したところ、図8(b)に示すように、内ビードは形成されていなかった。なお、連結箇所の内面に若干の溝が確認されたが、このような溝は押込み量等の端部溶着時の条件の調整により無くすことができると考えられる。
As an example of the invention 1, the outer cylinder is welded and fixed to the outer peripheral side of the tube body in the same manner as in the comparative example, and then the end portions of the main body of the tube body are cut and processed so as to be recessed by 0.5 mm in the axial direction. As shown in (a), two resin tube members were produced in which an inner surface step between the inner surface of the outer cylinder end portion and the inner surface of the main body end portion was formed.
Under the same conditions as in the comparative example, these resin tube members were butted against each other at the ends and welded to each other to be connected. When the connecting portion after the end welding was confirmed, the inner bead was not formed as shown in FIG. 8 (b). Although some grooves were confirmed on the inner surface of the connecting portion, it is considered that such grooves can be eliminated by adjusting the conditions at the time of end welding such as the amount of pushing.

発明例2として、比較例と同様にしてチューブ本体の外周側に外筒を溶着固定した後、一方のものについては、そのチューブ本体の本体端部を軸線方向に1mm窪むように切削加工し、他方のものについては、その端面に、軸線方向に直交する平面に対する傾斜角度が10°のテーパ形状になるようにテーパカットを施して、図9(a)に示すように、それぞれ外筒端部の内面と本体端部の内面との内面段差が形成された樹脂製チューブ部材を二本作製した。
これらの樹脂製チューブ部材を、比較例と同様の条件の下、端部どうしで突き合わせて相互に溶着させて連結した。端部溶着後の連結箇所を確認したところ、図9(b)に示すように、内ビードは形成されていなかった。この発明例2でも、連結箇所の内面に若干の溝が確認された。
As an example of the invention 2, after welding and fixing the outer cylinder to the outer peripheral side of the tube body in the same manner as in the comparative example, for one of them, the end of the main body of the tube body is cut so as to be recessed by 1 mm in the axial direction, and the other. For those of the above, taper cuts are made on the end faces so that the inclination angle with respect to the plane orthogonal to the axial direction is 10 °, and as shown in FIG. 9A, each of the outer cylinder end portions. Two resin tube members having an inner surface step formed between the inner surface and the inner surface of the end of the main body were produced.
Under the same conditions as in the comparative example, these resin tube members were butted against each other at the ends and welded to each other to be connected. When the connecting portion after the end welding was confirmed, the inner bead was not formed as shown in FIG. 9 (b). Also in this Invention Example 2, some grooves were confirmed on the inner surface of the connecting portion.

以上より、この発明によれば、樹脂製チューブ部材を樹脂製管継手もしくは他の樹脂製チューブ部材と端部で溶着する際に、溶着部である連結箇所への内ビードの発生を有効に抑制し得ることが解かった。 Based on the above, according to the present invention, when a resin tube member is welded to a resin pipe joint or another resin tube member at an end portion, generation of an inner bead at a connecting portion which is a welded portion is effectively suppressed. It turned out that it could be done.
