Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a fixing jig for a split portion of a valve case that prevents fluid leakage by applying a pressing force to the split portion of a valve case having a valve body therein, and a method of mounting the same.

Conventionally, a valve case (repair valve case) is composed of a short pipe and a valve box. There is known a reinforcing jig that is attached to a split portion where two protruding portions are joined with bolts (see, for example, Patent Literature 1).

The reinforcing jig of Patent Document 1 includes a pair of clamping members attached to the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion, and a fastening mechanism that draws and fixes both clamping members in the joining direction of the divided portions. The clamping member has two pressing portions that press regions on both sides of the outer surface of the first projecting portion along the circumferential direction of the head of the bolt. With this configuration, even if the strength of the bolt deteriorates due to aging of the repair valve, the reinforcement jig reinforces the bolt around the split portion, preventing water leakage from the gap in the split portion. It is possible. In particular, the reinforcing jig of Patent Document 1 presses the regions on both sides of the head of the bolt, so it can be installed even when the space in the radially inner direction of the bolt is narrow, such as in a repair valve case. is possible and highly convenient.

By the way, there are various shapes of repair valve cases having divided portions. For example, there are repair valve cases in which the projection amounts of the first and second protrusions are small, and repair valve cases in which the outer peripheral surfaces of short pipes are formed continuously and do not have the first protrusion. When the reinforcing jig of Patent Document 1 is attached to a repair valve case in which the amount of protrusion of the first protrusion and the second protrusion is extremely small, the pressing area of the pressing portion becomes small, so the reinforcement around the bolt becomes insufficient. Moreover, there is a risk that the reinforcing jig will fall off.

In the case of a repair valve case in which the outer peripheral surface of the short pipe is continuously formed and does not have the first projecting portion, the flange projecting from the end of the connection pipe of the air valve case connected to the upper end of the short pipe and the first projecting portion Since a reinforcing jig is required to draw and fix a long distance between the two protruding portions, the overall size of the reinforcing jig becomes large, and the reinforcing jig becomes large as a whole. In addition, since it is difficult to attach a reinforcing jig to a portion of the valve body where the operating portion protrudes, there is a possibility that the desired detachment preventing force cannot be exhibited. As described above, it is difficult to handle repair valves having various shapes with conventional reinforcing jigs, and there is room for improvement.

Therefore, there is a demand for a fixing jig for the divided portion of the valve case that can reinforce the divided portion of the valve case and has high work efficiency.

A feature of the fixing jig for the valve case split portion is that the fixing jig for the valve case split portion prevents fluid from leaking from the split portion by applying a pressing force to the split portion of the valve case having the valve body therein. a first annular member that abuts against a first projecting portion projecting radially outward from an end portion of the first tubular member from a first direction toward the divided portion along the axial direction; a second annular member that abuts against a second projecting portion projecting radially outward from an end portion of the second cylindrical member from a second direction opposite to the first direction; A connection mechanism that connects the second annular member via a plurality of connection members, and applies a force in a direction to bring the first annular member and the second annular member closer to each other, thereby applying a pressing force to the divided portion. and a pair of operating rods that can be operated from above the valve case, the first annular member has a pair of first rotating members connected at a first rotating fulcrum, and the second The annular member has a pair of second rotating members connected by a second rotating fulcrum portion, and the pair of operating rods is connected to the first rotating member or the second rotating member. The pair of first rotating members or the second rotating members can be rotated in the opening/closing direction by engaging with a pair of engaged portions sandwiching the rotating fulcrum portion or the second rotating fulcrum portion, respectively. and a nut constituting the connecting member is integrated with the tip of the operating rod .

In this configuration, the first annular member that abuts the first protrusion from the first direction and the second annular member that abuts the second protrusion from the second direction opposite to the first direction are moved closer to each other by the connecting mechanism. A pressing force is applied to the divided portion of the valve case. Therefore, for example, even if the projection amount of the first projecting portion of the valve body as the first tubular member and the second projecting portion of the short pipe as the second tubular member are small, the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion Since at least a part of the first annular member and the second annular member can be brought into contact along the circumferential direction of the portion, a desired pressing force can be applied to the divided portion.

Further, in the case of a repair valve case in which the outer peripheral surfaces of the short pipes are continuously formed and the divided portion has only one protruding portion, for example, an air valve case in which the first tubular member is connected to the short pipe. , and the second cylindrical member is a valve box. In this case, the distance between the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion is increased, but the first annular member and the second annular member are only brought into contact with the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion, so the connection It is only necessary to change the dimensions of the members, and there is no need to greatly change the overall dimensions of the first annular member and the second annular member. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be saved without increasing the size of the fixing jig.

Further, the pair of operating rods of this configuration are engaged with a pair of engaged portions sandwiching the first pivot point portion or the second pivot point portion of the first pivot member or the second pivot member, respectively. Then, the pair of first rotating members or the second rotating member can be rotated in the opening/closing direction. As a result, work efficiency can be improved because work for attaching the fixture can be completed from the ground rather than work inside the excavation area.

In this way, it is possible to provide a fixing jig for the divided portion of the valve case, which can reinforce the divided portion of the valve case and has high work efficiency.

Another characteristic configuration is that the first rotation fulcrum portion and the second rotation fulcrum portion are connected by the connecting member so as to match when viewed in the axial direction, and the pair of operation rods are: The point is that the first rotating member and the second rotating member are integrally rotated.

In this configuration, the pair of first rotation members and the pair of The second rotating member is configured to rotate together. Therefore, after the first annular member and the second annular member are brought close to the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion in a state in which the first annular member and the second annular member are integrally opened, the first annular member and the second annular member are integrally closed. It is possible to mount the fixing jig by rotating it. Therefore, mounting of the fixing jig is extremely easy, and work efficiency can be improved compared to the case where the first annular member and the second annular member are assembled separately.

Another characteristic configuration is that the connecting member is composed only of a bolt and a nut that connect the first annular member and the second annular member along the axial direction.

As in this configuration, if the connecting member is composed only of bolts and nuts that connect the first annular member and the second annular member along the axial direction, it is possible to provide a connecting member that requires operation from the side. Compared to , the work can be completed from the axial direction and the excavation range can be made smaller, so the work efficiency is extremely high.

A method for attaching a fixing jig for a split portion of a valve case that prevents fluid from leaking from the split portion by applying a pressing force to the split portion of the valve case having the valve body therein is characterized by: is a first annular member that abuts against a first projecting portion projecting radially outward from an end portion of the first cylindrical member from a first direction toward the divided portion along the axial direction; a second annular member that abuts a second projecting portion radially outwardly projecting from an end portion of the shaped member from a second direction opposite to the first direction; a connecting mechanism that connects the members via a plurality of connecting members and applies a force in a direction to bring the first annular member and the second annular member closer to each other, thereby applying a pressing force to the divided portion; a pair of operating rods that can be operated from above the valve case, wherein the first annular member includes a pair of first rotating members connected at a first rotating fulcrum, and the second annular member includes , a pair of second rotation members are connected at a second rotation fulcrum portion, and the pair of operation rods are connected to the first rotation fulcrum of the first rotation member or the second rotation member or a pair of engaged portions sandwiching the second rotation fulcrum portion so that the pair of first rotation members or the second rotation members can be rotated in the opening/closing direction. The fixing jig is attached by engaging the pair of operating rods with the pair of engaged portions in a non-rotating state to temporarily connect the connecting members by the pair of operating rods. The first annular member and the second annular member are rotated in a direction to open the first annular member and the second annular member with the first rotation fulcrum or the second rotation fulcrum as a fulcrum . a first step of moving downward to positions facing the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion in the ground, respectively ; a second step of turning the first annular member and the second annular member to contact the first projecting portion and the second projecting portion, respectively; and a third step of moving the first annular member and the second annular member closer to each other to apply a pressing force to the divided portion.

According to this method, after the first annular member and the second annular member are brought close to the first protrusion and the second protrusion in an open state by the operating rod, the first annular member and the second annular member are moved to the operating rod. The fixing jig is mounted by rotating in the closing direction. For this reason, mounting of the fixing jig is extremely easy, and work efficiency can be improved.
Another characteristic configuration of the mounting method of the fixing jig for the valve case split portion is that the fixing jig is integrated with a nut that constitutes the connecting member at the tip of the operating rod, and constitutes the connecting member. The head of the bolt is configured to be non-rotatable by a projection formed on the lower surface of the second annular member, and in the first step, by screwing the nut onto the bolt, the pair of operating rods It is in that it is made to engage with a pair of said to-be-engaged part in the anti-rotation state.
