Description

本発明は、外管及び内管からなる二重管同士を連結する二重管継手に関する。 The present invention relates to a double pipe joint that connects two double pipes, each consisting of an outer pipe and an inner pipe.

消防隊による消火活動では、消防車から火点まで消防用ホースを延長し、消火剤を確実に送る必要がある。このとき消火剤の移送に用いる流路は、消防用ホースと消防車の吐出口、消防用ホースと放射ノズル、及び消防用ホース同士が、消火剤を漏らすことのないように継手(結合金具)を介して連結される。なお、日本で販売される結合金具には、差込式、ねじ式、及びツイスト式があるが、差込式の結合金具は構造が簡単で軽量であり、着脱の操作性が優れているため、多くの消防隊で採用されている。
消防車から移送される消火剤としては、近年は水以外にも、消防車内で水と薬剤と空気を混合した泡が用いられている。ただし、この泡は消防車内で混合されるため、放射ノズルでは任意に混合比率を変えることはできない。
一方、消防車から放射ノズルまでの流路が2つあれば、空気と薬剤を混合した水溶液とを放射ノズルまで別々に移送することが可能となり、放射ノズルにて混合比率を変えることができる。このことは、泡の混合比率を変更する状況において、放射ノズルを担当する筒先員から消防車の操作担当の機関員への指示が必要なく、また消防車で混合比率が変更された後に消防車から放射ノズルまで混合比率が変更された泡が到達するまでのタイムラグを省くことができ、手間と時間を大幅に削減することができる。
また、一台の消防車から消防用ホースを分岐させて複数の放射ノズルを接続した場合、火災状況に応じて放射ノズル毎に任意に空気と水の混合比を変えることができるため、流路を二つ有することによる利点はさらに大きい。
When a fire brigade is fighting a fire, it is necessary to extend the fire hose from the fire engine to the fire site and ensure the delivery of extinguishing agent. The flow path used to transport the extinguishing agent is connected to the fire hose and the fire engine outlet, the fire hose and the spray nozzle, and to each other fire hoses via joints (connecting fittings) to prevent the extinguishing agent from leaking. Note that there are three types of connecting fittings sold in Japan: plug-in type, screw type, and twist type. Plug-in type connecting fittings are used by many fire brigades because they are simple in structure, lightweight, and easy to attach and detach.
In recent years, in addition to water, foam made by mixing water, chemicals, and air inside the fire engine has been used as the extinguishing agent transported from the fire engine. However, since this foam is mixed inside the fire engine, the mixture ratio cannot be changed arbitrarily with the spray nozzle.
On the other hand, if there are two flow paths from the fire engine to the spray nozzle, it is possible to transport the aqueous solution containing the air and the chemicals separately to the spray nozzle, and the mixture ratio can be changed at the spray nozzle. This means that when changing the foam mixture ratio, the nozzle head in charge of the spray nozzle does not need to give instructions to the fire engine operator, and the time lag between when the mixture ratio is changed in the fire engine and when the foam with the changed mixture ratio reaches the spray nozzle from the fire engine can be eliminated, resulting in a significant reduction in effort and time.
In addition, if multiple fire nozzles are connected by branching fire hoses from a single fire engine, the air-to-water mixture ratio can be changed freely for each nozzle depending on the fire situation, making the advantage of having two flow paths even greater.

流路を二つに増やすには、単純に消防用ホースを二本並列に用いる方法がある。しかし、消防車から放射ノズルの使用場所まで距離が離れている場合は、複数本の消防用ホースを直列で連結する必要がある。また、階段を使用して消防用ホースを展開する場合は、階段における折り返しや、建物角部で消防用ホースが引っ掛かることを防ぐケアが必要となる。このため、消防用ホースを並列にして本数が増えると、放水を始めるまでに2倍の手間がかかり、また、消防職員が消防用ホースに躓き負傷する可能性等が想定される。
このため、二つの流路は二本のホースで賄うのではなく、一本のホースに含まれ、かつ、内外二つの結合金具同士の結合も、一つの作業で完結することが望ましい。
To increase the number of flow paths to two, one method would be to simply use two fire hoses in parallel. However, if the fire engine is far from where the nozzle is to be used, multiple fire hoses must be connected in series. Also, if the fire hose is deployed using stairs, care must be taken to prevent it from turning around on the stairs or getting caught on the corners of buildings. For this reason, if the number of fire hoses is increased by connecting them in parallel, it takes twice as much time to start spraying water, and there is a possibility that firefighters may trip over the fire hoses and get injured.
For this reason, it is desirable that the two flow paths are contained in a single hose rather than being covered by two hoses, and that the connection between the two inner and outer connecting fittings be completed in a single operation.

図9は本件発明者が検討した二つの流路を有するホースの断面図である。
図9(a)は断面が円形の流路を電気コードのように二本並列にホース内に配置する構造としたもの、図9(b)はホースの断面を半分に分割して流路を分ける構造としたもの、図9(c)はホース(外管2A)の中に一周り小さいホース(内管2B)を入れて同軸二重構造の二重管2としたものである。
図9(a)と図9(b)に示す構造、又は図9(c)に示す構造において外側のホースを空気流路とした場合は、ホース内部が圧縮空気で満たされた状態での使用中に仮にホースが破損すると、圧縮された空気によってホースが破裂する危険性がある。一方、図9(c)に示す構造において内側のホースを空気流路、外側のホースを水の流路とすれば、仮に内側のホースが破損しても、外側のホース内で破裂が収まるため安全を確保できる。したがって、ホース(特に消防用ホース)は、図9(c)に示す同軸二重構造とし、外側の流路を水等の液体の流路、内側の流路を空気等の気体の流路とすることが好ましい。
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a hose having two flow paths that the present inventors have examined.
Figure 9(a) shows a structure in which two flow paths with circular cross sections are arranged in parallel inside a hose like an electric cord, Figure 9(b) shows a structure in which the cross section of the hose is divided in half to separate the flow paths, and Figure 9(c) shows a double pipe 2 with a coaxial double structure in which a smaller hose (inner pipe 2B) is placed inside a hose (outer pipe 2A).
In the structure shown in Fig. 9(a) and Fig. 9(b), or the structure shown in Fig. 9(c), when the outer hose is used as an air flow path, if the hose is damaged during use when the inside of the hose is filled with compressed air, there is a risk that the hose will burst due to the compressed air. On the other hand, in the structure shown in Fig. 9(c), if the inner hose is used as an air flow path and the outer hose is used as a water flow path, even if the inner hose is broken, the bursting will be contained within the outer hose, so safety can be ensured. Therefore, it is preferable that the hose (especially the fire hose) has a coaxial double structure as shown in Fig. 9(c), with the outer flow path being a flow path for liquids such as water and the inner flow path being a flow path for gases such as air.

ここで特許文献1には、高圧流体を循環する内管が、低圧流体を循環する外管内に配管されるとともに、内管と外管とが一体あるいは別体で形成されてそれぞれ連結手段で連結して構成された2本の二重管を接続する二重管継手構造が開示されている。
また、特許文献2には、差し金具と受け金具とからなる消防ホースの結合金具が開示されている。
Patent Document 1 discloses a double pipe joint structure that connects two double pipes in which an inner pipe, through which a high-pressure fluid circulates, is piped inside an outer pipe, through which a low-pressure fluid circulates, and in which the inner pipe and the outer pipe are formed integrally or separately and connected to each other by a connecting means.
Moreover, Patent Document 2 discloses a connecting fitting for a fire hose, which is composed of a fitting and a receiving fitting.

同軸二重構造の二重管(二重ホース)とした場合、内側のホースと継手との接続は外側のホースの内部になる。このため、内側のホースと結合金具を予め確実に接続したのちに、外側のホースと結合金具とを確実に接続できることが求められる。特に、二重ホースが消防用ホースである場合には、ホースと結合金具が外れないように、内側のホースと結合金具との接続部、及び外側のホースと結合金具との接続部を、それぞれ針金等でかしめる必要がある。
特許文献1の二重管継手構造は、二重管の内管に雌側継手部が形成されているように、内管と継手が一体的に製造されるものである。したがって、ホースと継手が別々に製造される場合には適用することができない。
また、特許文献2の消防ホースの結合金具は、同軸二重構造の消防用ホースを連結するものではない。
そこで本発明は、二重管同士を簡便に接続できると共に、二重管継手と二重管とを強固に接続することができる二重管継手を提供することを目的とする。
In the case of a coaxial double pipe (double hose), the connection between the inner hose and the fitting is inside the outer hose. Therefore, it is required that the outer hose and the fitting can be securely connected after the inner hose and the fitting are securely connected in advance. In particular, when the double hose is a fire hose, the connection between the inner hose and the fitting, and the connection between the outer hose and the fitting must be crimped with wire or the like to prevent the hose and the fitting from coming loose.
In the double pipe joint structure of Patent Document 1, the inner pipe and the joint are manufactured integrally, such that the female joint portion is formed in the inner pipe of the double pipe, and therefore it cannot be applied to cases where the hose and the joint are manufactured separately.
Furthermore, the fire hose connecting fitting in Patent Document 2 is not for connecting a coaxial double-structure fire hose.
SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE An object of the present invention is to provide a double pipe joint that can easily connect double pipes to each other and can firmly connect the double pipe joint to the double pipe.

図1は本実施例による二重管継手の構造を示す図であり、図1(a)は斜視図、図1(b)は側面図である。なお、内部構造を示すため外管継手は半分のみを表している。
二重管継手1は、図9(c)に示すような外管2A及び内管2Bからなる同軸二重構造の二重管2同士を連結する。二重管2は、例えば、主材質を樹脂やゴム等とし可撓性を有する消防用ホースである。
二重管継手1は、略円筒形の外管継手10及び内管継手20を備える。外管継手10の内径は内管継手20の外径よりも大きく、内管継手20は外管継手10の内部に配置される。二重管継手1は、金属製又は樹脂製とすることができる。
外管2A同士の接続に用いる外管継手10は、差し口である外管オス継手10Aと受け口である外管メス継手10Bの一対からなる。また、内管2B同士の接続に用いる内管継手20は、差し口である内管オス継手20Aと受け口である内管メス継手20Bの一対からなる。
Hereinafter, a double pipe joint according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
Fig. 1 shows the structure of a double pipe joint according to this embodiment, Fig. 1(a) is a perspective view and Fig. 1(b) is a side view. Note that only half of the outer pipe joint is shown in order to show the internal structure.
The double pipe joint 1 connects together double pipes 2 having a coaxial double structure composed of an outer pipe 2A and an inner pipe 2B as shown in Fig. 9(c). The double pipe 2 is, for example, a fire hose whose main material is resin, rubber, or the like and has flexibility.
The double pipe joint 1 includes a substantially cylindrical outer pipe joint 10 and an inner pipe joint 20. The inner diameter of the outer pipe joint 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the inner pipe joint 20, and the inner pipe joint 20 is disposed inside the outer pipe joint 10. The double pipe joint 1 can be made of metal or resin.
The outer pipe joint 10 used to connect the outer pipes 2A together consists of a pair of an outer pipe male joint 10A which is a spigot and an outer pipe female joint 10B which is a socket. The inner pipe joint 20 used to connect the inner pipes 2B together consists of a pair of an inner pipe male joint 20A which is a spigot and an inner pipe female joint 20B which is a socket.

外管オス継手10Aは、一端に外管メス継手10Bと接続する外管継手接続部としてオス外管継手接続部11を備え、他端に第一の二重管2の外管2Aと接続する接続口として外管接続部13を備える。外管接続部13の外面には鋸歯状の凹凸が設けられている。
外管メス継手10Bは、一端に外管オス継手10Aと接続する外管継手接続部としてオス外管継手接続部11よりも径大のメス外管継手接続部12を備え、他端に第二の二重管2の外管2Aと接続する外管接続部13を備える。外管接続部13の外面には鋸歯状の凹凸が設けられている。また、外管メス継手10Bにおいて、一端側の外面にはゴムバンド14が環状に装着され、内面にはゴムパッキン15が装着されている。
メス外管継手接続部12の内面は、輪切り断面(軸方向に対して垂直な断面)を真円としている。また、外管オス継手10Aと外管メス継手10Bは、接続した状態において互いの中心軸が一致する構成としている。このため、外管オス継手10Aを外管メス継手10Bに差し込む際における断面円の中心軸の回転方向の位置合わせは不要であり、外管オス継手10Aと外管メス継手10Bを迅速に接続することができる。
The outer pipe male joint 10A has a male outer pipe joint connection portion 11 at one end as an outer pipe joint connection portion that connects to the outer pipe female joint 10B, and an outer pipe connection portion 13 at the other end as a connection port that connects to the outer pipe 2A of the first double pipe 2. The outer surface of the outer pipe connection portion 13 is provided with sawtooth irregularities.
The outer pipe female joint 10B has at one end a female outer pipe joint connection portion 12 having a larger diameter than the male outer pipe joint connection portion 11 as an outer pipe joint connection portion for connecting to the outer pipe male joint 10A, and at the other end an outer pipe connection portion 13 for connecting to the outer pipe 2A of the second double pipe 2. The outer surface of the outer pipe connection portion 13 is provided with sawtooth-like irregularities. In addition, in the outer pipe female joint 10B, a rubber band 14 is attached in a ring shape to the outer surface on the one end side, and a rubber packing 15 is attached to the inner surface.
The inner surface of the female outer pipe joint connection portion 12 has a cross-sectional surface (cross-sectional surface perpendicular to the axial direction) that is a perfect circle. The outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B are configured so that their central axes coincide with each other when connected. Therefore, when inserting the outer pipe male joint 10A into the outer pipe female joint 10B, it is not necessary to align the central axis of the cross-sectional circle in the rotational direction, and the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B can be quickly connected.

内管オス継手20Aは、一端に内管メス継手20Bと接続する内管継手接続部としてオス内管継手接続部21を備え、他端に第一の二重管2の内管2Bと接続する接続口として内管接続部23を備える。内管接続部23の外面には鋸歯状の凹凸が設けられている。
内管メス継手20Bは、一端に内管オス継手20Aと接続する内管継手接続部としてオス内管継手接続部21よりも径大のメス内管継手接続部22を備え、他端に第二の二重管2の内管2Bと接続する内管接続部23を備える。内管接続部23の外面には鋸歯状の凹凸が設けられている。また、内管メス継手20Bは、一端側の開口近傍にシール部24を備える。シール部24は、例えば、Oリング、Uパッキン、Vパッキン、Yパッキン、又はXパッキン等である。シール部24は、内管メス継手20Bに差し込まれた内管オス継手20Aの外面に密着する。これにより円周方向にシールが行われ、内管2Bを流れる流体が外管2A側に漏れ出ることを確実に防止できる。
メス内管継手接続部22の内面は、輪切り断面を真円としている。また、内管オス継手20Aと内管メス継手20Bは、接続した状態において互いの中心軸が一致する構成としている。このため、内管オス継手20Aを内管メス継手20Bに差し込む際における断面円の中心軸の回転方向の位置合わせは不要であり、内管オス継手20Aと内管メス継手20Bを迅速に接続することができる。
また、オス内管継手接続部21の先端の外面には先細りのテーパー25を設け、メス内管継手接続部22の先端の内面には奥細りのテーパー26を設けている。これにより、内管メス継手20Bに内管オス継手20Aを差し込む際に、内管メス継手20Bの中心軸と内管オス継手20Aの中心軸がずれていたとしても、互いの軸が一致するように誘導されるため、内管オス継手20Aと内管メス継手20Bとの接続を円滑に行うことができる。
The inner pipe male joint 20A has a male inner pipe joint connecting portion 21 at one end as an inner pipe joint connecting portion that connects to the inner pipe female joint 20B, and an inner pipe connecting portion 23 at the other end as a connection port that connects to the inner pipe 2B of the first double pipe 2. The outer surface of the inner pipe connecting portion 23 is provided with sawtooth irregularities.
The inner pipe female joint 20B has a female inner pipe joint connection part 22 having a larger diameter than the male inner pipe joint connection part 21 as an inner pipe joint connection part that connects to the inner pipe male joint 20A at one end, and an inner pipe connection part 23 that connects to the inner pipe 2B of the second double pipe 2 at the other end. The outer surface of the inner pipe connection part 23 is provided with sawtooth-shaped irregularities. The inner pipe female joint 20B also has a seal part 24 near the opening on the one end side. The seal part 24 is, for example, an O-ring, a U-packing, a V-packing, a Y-packing, or an X-packing. The seal part 24 is in close contact with the outer surface of the inner pipe male joint 20A inserted into the inner pipe female joint 20B. This provides a seal in the circumferential direction, and it is possible to reliably prevent the fluid flowing through the inner pipe 2B from leaking to the outer pipe 2A side.
The inner surface of the female inner pipe fitting connection portion 22 has a cross section that is a perfect circle. The inner pipe male fitting 20A and the inner pipe female fitting 20B are configured so that their central axes coincide with each other when connected. Therefore, when inserting the inner pipe male fitting 20A into the inner pipe female fitting 20B, it is not necessary to align the central axis of the cross-sectional circle in the rotational direction, and the inner pipe male fitting 20A and the inner pipe female fitting 20B can be quickly connected.
Further, a tapered outer surface of the tip of the male inner pipe joint connection portion 21 is provided with a tapered end 25, and a tapered inner surface of the tip of the female inner pipe joint connection portion 22 is provided with a tapered end 26. As a result, even if the central axis of the inner pipe female joint 20B and the central axis of the inner pipe male joint 20A are misaligned when the inner pipe male joint 20A is inserted into the inner pipe female joint 20B, the axes are guided to coincide with each other, so that the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B can be smoothly connected.

また、外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bは、内管オス継手20A又は内管メス継手20Bが挿入される内管受入部16をそれぞれの内部に有する。本実施例では、外管オス継手10Aの内部に内管オス継手20Aを収容する内管受入部16が形成され、外管メス継手10Bの内部に内管メス継手20Bを収容する内管受入部16が形成されている。なお、外管オス継手10Aの内部に内管メス継手20Bを収容する内管受入部16を形成し、外管メス継手10Bの内部に内管オス継手20Aを収容する内管受入部16を形成することもできる。
内管受入部16の内面は、輪切り断面を真円としている。また、内管受入部16に内管継手20が挿入された状態において、外管継手10の中心軸と内管継手20の中心軸が一致する構成としている。このため、内管継手20を外管継手10に挿入する際における断面円の中心軸の回転方向の位置合わせは不要である。
Further, the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B each have an inner pipe receiving portion 16 into which the inner pipe male joint 20A or the inner pipe female joint 20B is inserted. In this embodiment, the inner pipe receiving portion 16 that receives the inner pipe male joint 20A is formed inside the outer pipe male joint 10A, and the inner pipe receiving portion 16 that receives the inner pipe female joint 20B is formed inside the outer pipe female joint 10B. It is also possible to form the inner pipe receiving portion 16 that receives the inner pipe female joint 20B inside the outer pipe male joint 10A, and the inner pipe receiving portion 16 that receives the inner pipe male joint 20A inside the outer pipe female joint 10B.
The inner surface of the inner pipe receiving portion 16 has a cross section that is a perfect circle. In addition, when the inner pipe fitting 20 is inserted into the inner pipe receiving portion 16, the central axis of the outer pipe fitting 10 and the central axis of the inner pipe fitting 20 coincide with each other. Therefore, when inserting the inner pipe fitting 20 into the outer pipe fitting 10, it is not necessary to align the central axis of the cross-sectional circle in the rotational direction.

製造時などにおいて二重管2の端部に二重管継手1を取付ける際の手順例としては、まず、二重管2について外管2Aから内管2Bを引き出すように両者の位置関係をずらし、内管継手20の内管接続部23を二重管2の内管2Bの端部へ差し込み、その上から金属製等のリング、針金、又はホースバンド等を用いてかしめる。
次に、内管2Bが接続された内管継手20を、外管継手10の他端側の開口から内管受入部16に挿入する。
次に、内管受入部16に挿入した内管継手20を、軸方向に所定以上動かないように固定する。なお、固定方法の詳細については後述する。
最後に、ずらしていた外管2Aと内管2Bとの位置関係を戻して外管継手10の外管接続部13を二重管2の外管2Aの端部へ差し込み、その上から金属製等のリング、針金、又はホースバンド等を用いてかしめる。この状態において外管接続部13の軸方向位置と内管接続部23の軸方向位置は重なる位置にある。
このように、二重管2に二重管継手1を取付ける際は、内管2Bと内管継手20とをカシメ接続し、その内管継手20を外管継手10に挿入した後に外管2Aと外管継手10とをカシメ接続することができるため、二重管2と二重管継手1とを強固に接続することができる。そのため、引っ張りや、曲げ、捩じり等の外力が加わっても二重管継手1が外れる心配がない。
なお、本実施例においては、二重管2と二重管継手1との接続を、外側からかしめる外面装着式としているが、内側からかしめる内面装着式とすることもできる。内面装着式の場合は、内管2Bの端部を内管接続部23に差し込み、また、外管2Aの端部を外管接続部13に差し込むことになる。
As an example of the procedure for attaching the double pipe fitting 1 to the end of the double pipe 2 during manufacturing, first, the positional relationship between the two is shifted so that the inner pipe 2B is pulled out from the outer pipe 2A of the double pipe 2, and the inner pipe connection portion 23 of the inner pipe fitting 20 is inserted into the end of the inner pipe 2B of the double pipe 2, and then crimped from above using a metal ring, wire, hose band, or the like.
Next, the inner pipe joint 20 to which the inner pipe 2B is connected is inserted into the inner pipe receiving portion 16 from the opening on the other end side of the outer pipe joint 10.
Next, the inner pipe joint 20 inserted into the inner pipe receiving portion 16 is fixed so as not to move more than a predetermined amount in the axial direction. The fixing method will be described in detail later.
Finally, the outer pipe 2A and the inner pipe 2B are returned to their original positions, and the outer pipe connection part 13 of the outer pipe joint 10 is inserted into the end of the outer pipe 2A of the double pipe 2, and then crimped from above using a metal ring, wire, hose band, etc. In this state, the axial position of the outer pipe connection part 13 and the axial position of the inner pipe connection part 23 are overlapped.
In this way, when attaching the double pipe joint 1 to the double pipe 2, the inner pipe 2B and the inner pipe joint 20 are crimped together, and the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted into the outer pipe joint 10, and then the outer pipe 2A and the outer pipe joint 10 are crimped together, so that the double pipe 2 and the double pipe joint 1 can be firmly connected. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the double pipe joint 1 coming off even if an external force such as pulling, bending, or twisting is applied.
In this embodiment, the connection between the double pipe 2 and the double pipe joint 1 is an external mounting type in which the pipes are crimped from the outside, but it can also be an internal mounting type in which the pipes are crimped from the inside. In the internal mounting type, the end of the inner pipe 2B is inserted into the inner pipe connecting portion 23, and the end of the outer pipe 2A is inserted into the outer pipe connecting portion 13.

ここで、図2は外管継手への内管継手の収容度合いによる二重管の損傷可能性を比較した図であり、図2(a)は内管継手の全体を外管継手に収容した二重管継手を示し、図2(b)は内管継手の一部を外管継手に収容した二重管継手を示している。
図2(b)のように、内管受入部16が内管オス継手20A又は内管メス継手20Bよりも小さく、内管接続部23が外管継手10からはみ出す収容状態では、二重管継手1が地面3に落ちた際に、内管継手20と地面3の間に内管2B及び外管2Aが挟まれるため、内管2B及び外管2Aが損傷する可能性がある。
一方、図2(a)のように、内管継手20が外管継手10からはみ出さない収容状態では、二重管継手1が地面3に落ちた際に、内管継手20と地面3との間に内管2B及び外管2Aが挟まれることがないため、内管継手20による内管2B及び外管2Aの損傷を防止できる。
したがって、内管受入部16の大きさは、内管オス継手20A又は内管メス継手20Bの大きさ以上とし、内管受入部16に、内管オス継手20A又は内管メス継手20Bの全体を収容することが好ましい。
Here, Figure 2 is a diagram comparing the possibility of damage to a double pipe depending on the degree to which the inner pipe joint is accommodated in the outer pipe joint, with Figure 2(a) showing a double pipe joint in which the entire inner pipe joint is accommodated in the outer pipe joint, and Figure 2(b) showing a double pipe joint in which only a portion of the inner pipe joint is accommodated in the outer pipe joint.
As shown in Figure 2 (b), in a state where the inner pipe receiving portion 16 is smaller than the inner pipe male fitting 20A or the inner pipe female fitting 20B and the inner pipe connection portion 23 protrudes from the outer pipe fitting 10, when the double pipe fitting 1 falls to the ground 3, the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A will be pinched between the inner pipe fitting 20 and the ground 3, and the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A may be damaged.
On the other hand, in a stored state in which the inner pipe fitting 20 does not protrude from the outer pipe fitting 10 as shown in Figure 2 (a), when the double pipe fitting 1 falls to the ground 3, the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A will not be pinched between the inner pipe fitting 20 and the ground 3, thereby preventing damage to the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A by the inner pipe fitting 20.
Therefore, it is preferable that the size of the inner pipe receiving portion 16 be equal to or larger than the size of the inner pipe male fitting 20A or the inner pipe female fitting 20B, and that the inner pipe receiving portion 16 accommodates the entire inner pipe male fitting 20A or the inner pipe female fitting 20B.

二重管2同士を接続する際は、二重管継手1の片割れを、対となる二重管継手1の片割れと結合することにより行う。本実施例では、図1に示すように、二重管継手1の接続方式を差込式(町野式)としている。二重管継手1は、接続固定部17として、外管オス継手10Aに押し輪17Aと凸部17Bを有し、外管メス継手10Bに爪17Cを有する。爪17Cは、外管メス継手10Bの中心軸に対して垂直な方向に移動可能である。一方で、内管継手20は接続固定部17を有さない。
二重管継手1の片割れ同士を結合する際は、外管メス継手10Bに外管オス継手10Aが差し込まれるのと同時に、内管メス継手20Bに内管オス継手20Aが差し込まれる。外管オス継手10Aが外管メス継手10Bの所定位置まで差し込まれると、凸部17Bと爪17Cが係合して外管オス継手10Aと外管メス継手10Bとの接続が固定(ロック)される。また、上述のように内管受入部16に収容された内管継手20は軸方向に動かないように固定されているため、外管オス継手10Aと外管メス継手10Bとの接続が固定されることで、内管オス継手20Aと内管メス継手20Bとの接続も間接的に固定される。
二重管2同士を引き離す際は、押し輪17Aの操作により爪17Cを凸部17Bよりも押し上げて外管オス継手10Aと外管メス継手10Bとの接続の固定を解除する。これにより、内管オス継手20Aと内管メス継手20Bとの接続の固定も同時に解除されることとなる。その後、二重管継手1の片割れ同士を離間させる。
このように、二重管継手1を用いることで、二重管2同士を簡便に接続することができる。また、二重管2同士を接続又は引き離す際において、外管オス継手10Aと外管メス継手10Bとの接続の固定又は固定解除、及び内管オス継手20Aと内管メス継手20Bとの接続の固定又は固定解除を、外管継手10に設けた接続固定部17の操作で一括して行えるため、二重管2同士の接続や分離を迅速に行うことができる。また、接続固定部17を外管継手10のみに設けることで、接続状態を容易に視認することができる。
When connecting the double pipes 2 together, one half of the double pipe joint 1 is joined to the other half of the mating double pipe joint 1. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the connection method of the double pipe joint 1 is a plug-in type (Machino type). The double pipe joint 1 has a push ring 17A and a protrusion 17B on the outer pipe male joint 10A as a connection fixing portion 17, and has a claw 17C on the outer pipe female joint 10B. The claw 17C is movable in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the outer pipe female joint 10B. On the other hand, the inner pipe joint 20 does not have a connection fixing portion 17.
When joining the two halves of the double pipe joint 1, the outer pipe male joint 10A is inserted into the outer pipe female joint 10B, and at the same time, the inner pipe male joint 20A is inserted into the inner pipe female joint 20B. When the outer pipe male joint 10A is inserted into the outer pipe female joint 10B to a predetermined position, the protrusion 17B and the claw 17C engage with each other, and the connection between the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B is fixed (locked). Also, since the inner pipe joint 20 accommodated in the inner pipe receiving portion 16 as described above is fixed so as not to move in the axial direction, the connection between the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B is fixed, and therefore the connection between the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B is indirectly fixed.
When the double pipes 2 are to be separated, the claw 17C is pushed up above the protrusion 17B by operating the push ring 17A to release the connection between the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B. This simultaneously releases the connection between the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B. The two halves of the double pipe joint 1 are then separated from each other.
In this way, the double pipes 2 can be easily connected to each other by using the double pipe joint 1. Furthermore, when connecting or separating the double pipes 2 to each other, the connection between the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B and the connection between the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B can be fixed or released all at once by operating the connection fixing portion 17 provided on the outer pipe joint 10, so that the double pipes 2 can be quickly connected or separated to each other. Furthermore, by providing the connection fixing portion 17 only on the outer pipe joint 10, the connection state can be easily visually confirmed.

なお、上記では二重管2の接続方式を差込式として説明したが、ねじ式、又はツイスト式とすることもできる。但し、国内での流通量は差込式が最も多いため、従来の差込式継手との部品の共通化等を考慮すると、差込式とすることが好ましい。また、本発明の二重管継手1は、流路が一つのみの単管が備える継手と接続することも可能である。 In the above, the connection method of the double pipe 2 has been described as a plug-in type, but it can also be a screw type or twist type. However, since the plug-in type is the most widely distributed in Japan, it is preferable to use the plug-in type in consideration of the commonality of parts with conventional plug-in type joints. In addition, the double pipe joint 1 of the present invention can also be connected to a joint provided on a single pipe with only one flow path.

上述のように、外管継手10の内管受入部16に挿入した内管継手20は軸方向に動かないように固定される。この外管継手10と内管継手20との位置関係を固定する方法として以下に四つの例を挙げる。 As described above, the inner pipe fitting 20 inserted into the inner pipe receiving portion 16 of the outer pipe fitting 10 is fixed so as not to move in the axial direction. Below are four examples of methods for fixing the positional relationship between the outer pipe fitting 10 and the inner pipe fitting 20.

図3は内管受入部に挿入した内管継手の固定方法の第一の例を示す図であり、図3(a)は分解斜視図、図3(b)は固定した状態での側断面図、図3(c)は固定した状態での外管オス継手及び内管オス継手からなる二重管継手の他端を示す正面図である。
内管オス継手20A及び内管メス継手20Bは、外面から突出した突出部として板状の突片31を複数有する。突片31は、オス内管継手接続部21又はメス内管継手接続部22と内管接続部23との間の位置において、円周方向に所定間隔で設けられ、上面が外管継手10の内面に接する。また、各突片31の高さは等しい。各突片31の高さを均等にすることで、内管受入部16に内管継手20が挿入された状態において、外管継手10の中心軸と内管継手20の中心軸を一致させることができる。
突片31は、内管継手20が外管継手10の内部で片寄らないように複数設けるが、多過ぎると流体の流れを阻害する可能性がある。そのため、内管オス継手20A又は内管メス継手20Bあたりの突片31の本数は、3本又は4本とすることが好ましい。本実施形態では、内管オス継手20A及び内管メス継手20Bに設ける突片31を各3本とし、円周方向に120度間隔で配置している。
Figure 3 shows a first example of a method for fixing an inner pipe fitting inserted into an inner pipe receiving portion, where Figure 3(a) is an exploded oblique view, Figure 3(b) is a side cross-sectional view in the fixed state, and Figure 3(c) is a front view showing the other end of a double pipe fitting consisting of an outer pipe male fitting and an inner pipe male fitting in the fixed state.
The inner pipe male fitting 20A and the inner pipe female fitting 20B have a plurality of plate-shaped protrusions 31 as protrusions protruding from the outer surface. The protrusions 31 are provided at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction at a position between the male inner pipe fitting connection portion 21 or the female inner pipe fitting connection portion 22 and the inner pipe connection portion 23, and their upper surfaces contact the inner surface of the outer pipe fitting 10. In addition, the heights of the protrusions 31 are equal. By making the heights of the protrusions 31 equal, the central axis of the outer pipe fitting 10 and the central axis of the inner pipe fitting 20 can be aligned when the inner pipe fitting 20 is inserted into the inner pipe receiving portion 16.
A plurality of protrusions 31 are provided so that the inner pipe joint 20 does not become biased inside the outer pipe joint 10, but if there are too many, there is a possibility that the flow of the fluid may be obstructed. Therefore, the number of protrusions 31 per inner pipe male joint 20A or the inner pipe female joint 20B is preferably three or four. In this embodiment, the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B are provided with three protrusions 31 each, which are arranged at 120 degree intervals in the circumferential direction.

外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bは、第一ストッパー部として段差32を内面に有する。段差32は、円周方向に亘って設けられており、段差32が設けられた部分の内径は、内管継手20のうち突片31が設けられた部分の外径よりも小さくなっている。このため、外管継手10の他端側の開口から内管継手20を挿入したとき、突片31の一端が段差32に当接した位置が内管継手20の最大進入位置となる。段差32を設ける位置は、外管継手10及び内管継手20の長さや、外管継手10への内管継手20の挿入量等を考慮して設定する。
また、外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bの内面において、段差32よりも他端側には、溝34が円周方向に亘って設けられている。段差32と溝34との間隔は、内管継手20が有する突片31の長さよりも若干大きく設定されている。
内管継手20を外管継手10に最大進入位置まで挿入した後、第二ストッパー部である止め輪33を外管継手10の他端側の開口から内管継手20の外面に沿って挿入し、溝34に嵌め込む。これにより、止め輪33と突片31の他端が近接した状態となり、内管継手20の後退は、突片31の他端が止め輪33に当接することによって阻止される。このように、段差32(第一ストッパー部)と止め輪33(第二ストッパー部)で突片31(突出部)を挟むことで、外管継手10に収容した内管継手20は軸方向の移動が制限されて所定以上動けなくなる。すなわち、外管継手10に対する内管継手20の相対位置が固定される。なお、本例では止め輪33をC型止め輪としているが、同心止め輪、又はばね材をC型にした止め輪とすることもできる。
The outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B have a step 32 on the inner surface as a first stopper portion. The step 32 is provided around the circumference, and the inner diameter of the portion where the step 32 is provided is smaller than the outer diameter of the portion of the inner pipe joint 20 where the protruding piece 31 is provided. Therefore, when the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted from the opening on the other end side of the outer pipe joint 10, the position where one end of the protruding piece 31 abuts against the step 32 is the maximum insertion position of the inner pipe joint 20. The position where the step 32 is provided is set taking into consideration the lengths of the outer pipe joint 10 and the inner pipe joint 20, the insertion amount of the inner pipe joint 20 into the outer pipe joint 10, etc.
Further, on the inner surfaces of the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B, a groove 34 is provided in the circumferential direction on the other end side of the step 32. The distance between the step 32 and the groove 34 is set to be slightly larger than the length of the protrusion 31 of the inner pipe joint 20.
After the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted into the outer pipe joint 10 to the maximum insertion position, the retaining ring 33, which is the second stopper portion, is inserted along the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20 from the opening on the other end side of the outer pipe joint 10 and fitted into the groove 34. As a result, the retaining ring 33 and the other end of the protruding piece 31 are in close proximity to each other, and the inner pipe joint 20 is prevented from moving backward by the other end of the protruding piece 31 abutting against the retaining ring 33. In this way, by sandwiching the protruding piece 31 (protruding part) between the step 32 (first stopper portion) and the retaining ring 33 (second stopper portion), the axial movement of the inner pipe joint 20 accommodated in the outer pipe joint 10 is restricted and it cannot move more than a predetermined amount. That is, the relative position of the inner pipe joint 20 with respect to the outer pipe joint 10 is fixed. In this example, the retaining ring 33 is a C-shaped retaining ring, but it can also be a concentric retaining ring or a retaining ring made of a C-shaped spring material.

図3(b)、(c)に示すように、内管継手20には第一の流体4(例えば空気)が流れ、外管継手10には第二の流体5(例えば水)が流れる。このとき、第二の流体5は、突片31と突片31との間、及び止め輪33と内管継手20の外面との間を通過する。なお、突片31は断面を翼形状にすることが望ましく、これにより流れによる抵抗を極力小さくすることができる。 As shown in Figures 3(b) and (c), a first fluid 4 (e.g., air) flows through the inner pipe joint 20, and a second fluid 5 (e.g., water) flows through the outer pipe joint 10. At this time, the second fluid 5 passes between the protrusions 31 and between the retaining ring 33 and the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20. It is preferable that the cross section of the protrusions 31 be wing-shaped, which minimizes resistance to the flow.

また、内管継手20を外側継手10の外側からビス固定しない場合において、外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bは、回転阻止部として直線溝35を内部に有する。直線溝35は、他端側の開口から段差32の手前まで軸方向に延びた直線的な溝であり、突片31の本数と同数の3本が、円周方向に120度間隔で設けられている。
内管継手20を外管継手10に挿入する際は、突片31を直線溝35に合わせて挿入する。これにより、外管継手10内に挿入された内管継手20は突片31が直線溝35に嵌合した状態となるため、外管継手10に対する内管継手20の回転が阻止される。外管継手10に対する内管継手20の回転が抑制されることで、内管継手20の回転により外管継手10の内面が損傷することを防止できる。
なお、回転阻止部を設けない場合、内管継手20は外管継手10に対して内管2Bと外管2Aとの捩じれを許容するように回転できる。回転阻止部を設けるか否かは、二重管2の用途等によって判断する。
In addition, when the inner pipe joint 20 is not fixed with screws from the outside of the outer joint 10, the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B have linear grooves 35 therein as rotation prevention sections. The linear grooves 35 are linear grooves extending in the axial direction from the opening on the other end side to just before the step 32, and three linear grooves, the same number as the number of protrusions 31, are provided at 120 degree intervals in the circumferential direction.
When inserting the inner pipe joint 20 into the outer pipe joint 10, the protrusion 31 is inserted into the linear groove 35. As a result, the inner pipe joint 20 inserted into the outer pipe joint 10 has the protrusion 31 fitted into the linear groove 35, preventing rotation of the inner pipe joint 20 relative to the outer pipe joint 10. By restricting rotation of the inner pipe joint 20 relative to the outer pipe joint 10, damage to the inner surface of the outer pipe joint 10 due to rotation of the inner pipe joint 20 can be prevented.
If no rotation preventing portion is provided, the inner pipe joint 20 can rotate so as to allow twisting of the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A relative to the outer pipe joint 10. Whether or not to provide a rotation preventing portion is determined based on the application of the double pipe 2, etc.

なお、突片31は、内管継手20ではなく、外管継手10の内面に設けることもできる。この場合は、例えば、内管継手20の一端側に、外管継手10の突片31に対応した溝を軸方向に設け、溝の終点(他端側)を第一ストッパー部とする。なお、溝の終点には段差を設けても良い。
組み立ての際は、内管継手20を、溝を外管継手10の突片31に合わせて挿入し、溝の終端に突片31が当接するまでスライドさせる。その後、第二ストッパー部である止め輪33を内管継手20の一端側から外管継手10に挿入する。
The protrusion 31 may be provided on the inner surface of the outer pipe joint 10, instead of the inner pipe joint 20. In this case, for example, a groove corresponding to the protrusion 31 of the outer pipe joint 10 is provided in the axial direction on one end side of the inner pipe joint 20, and the end point of the groove (the other end side) is made the first stopper portion. A step may be provided at the end point of the groove.
During assembly, the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted so that its groove aligns with the protruding piece 31 of the outer pipe joint 10, and slid until the protruding piece 31 abuts against the end of the groove. Then, a retaining ring 33, which is a second stopper portion, is inserted into the outer pipe joint 10 from one end side of the inner pipe joint 20.

図4は内管受入部に挿入した内管継手の固定方法の第二の例を示す図であり、図4(a)は分解斜視図、図4(b)は固定した状態での側断面図、図4(c)は固定した状態での外管オス継手及び内管オス継手からなる二重管継手の他端を示す正面図である。
製造時などにおいて、内管オス継手20A及び内管メス継手20Bのそれぞれの外面には、内管接続部23側から、一つ目の保持板41、間隔保持材42、及び二つ目の保持板41が順に嵌められる。
保持板41は、円形であり、内管継手20の外面に密着する内側リング41Aと、外管継手10の内面に接する外側リング41Bを有する。内側リング41Aと外側リング41Bとの間には所定の隙間が設けられ、内側リング41Aと外側リング41Bは三つの内外リング接続部41Cで接続されている。外管2Aを流れる流体は、内側リング41Aと外側リング41Bの間を通過する。
間隔保持材42は、円筒形であり、内管継手20の外面に密着する。なお、間隔保持材42は、内管継手20の内面に密着するようにしてもよい。また、間隔保持材42の厚みは、流体の流れを阻害しないように、内側リング41A以下としている。なお、間隔保持材42の厚みは、外側リング41B以下としてもよい。
内管オス継手20A及び内管メス継手20Bの外面には、外方へ突出した段差43が円周方向に亘って設けられており、一つ目の保持板41は段差43を越えて進むことはできない。したがって、一つ目の保持板41は段差43に当接することで位置決めされる。また、間隔保持材42は一端が一つ目の保持板41と当接するように位置し、二つ目の保持板41は間隔保持材42の他端に当接するように位置する。これにより、内管継手20は、二つの保持板41からなる突出部を外面に有することとなる。
Figure 4 is a diagram showing a second example of a method for fixing an inner pipe fitting inserted into an inner pipe receiving portion, where Figure 4(a) is an exploded oblique view, Figure 4(b) is a side cross-sectional view in the fixed state, and Figure 4(c) is a front view showing the other end of a double pipe fitting consisting of an outer pipe male fitting and an inner pipe male fitting in the fixed state.
During manufacture, a first retaining plate 41, a spacing retaining member 42, and a second retaining plate 41 are fitted in that order from the inner pipe connection portion 23 side onto the outer surfaces of the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B.
The retaining plate 41 is circular and has an inner ring 41A that is in close contact with the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20, and an outer ring 41B that is in contact with the inner surface of the outer pipe joint 10. A predetermined gap is provided between the inner ring 41A and the outer ring 41B, and the inner ring 41A and the outer ring 41B are connected by three inner and outer ring connection parts 41C. The fluid flowing through the outer pipe 2A passes between the inner ring 41A and the outer ring 41B.
The spacing member 42 is cylindrical and adheres closely to the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20. The spacing member 42 may adhere closely to the inner surface of the inner pipe joint 20. The thickness of the spacing member 42 is set to be equal to or smaller than the inner ring 41A so as not to impede the flow of fluid. The thickness of the spacing member 42 may be equal to or smaller than the outer ring 41B.
An outwardly protruding step 43 is provided in the circumferential direction on the outer surfaces of the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B, and the first retaining plate 41 cannot advance beyond the step 43. Therefore, the first retaining plate 41 is positioned by abutting against the step 43. Also, one end of the spacing member 42 is positioned so as to abut against the first retaining plate 41, and the second retaining plate 41 is positioned so as to abut against the other end of the spacing member 42. As a result, the inner pipe joint 20 has a protruding portion made up of two retaining plates 41 on its outer surface.

外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bは、第一ストッパー部として段差44を内面に有する。段差44は、円周方向に亘って設けられている。
段差44が設けられた部分の内径は、内管継手20のうち保持板41が設けられた部分の外径よりも小さくなっている。このため、外管継手10の他端側の開口から内管継手20を挿入したとき、一つ目の保持板41が第一ストッパー部に当接した位置が内管継手20の最大進入位置となる。段差44を設ける位置は、外管継手10及び内管継手20の長さや、外管継手10への内管継手20の挿入量等を考慮して設定する。
また、外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bの内面において、段差44よりも他端側には、円周方向に亘る溝45が設けられている。段差44と溝45との間隔は、保持板41同士の間隔よりも若干大きく設定されている。
内管継手20を外管継手10に最大進入位置まで挿入した後、第二ストッパー部である止め輪46を外管継手10の他端側の開口から内管継手20の外面に沿って挿入し、溝45に嵌め込む。これにより、止め輪46と二つ目の保持板41が近接した状態となる。内管継手20は、二つ目の保持板41が止め輪46に当接することにより、止め輪46を越えて後退することができない。なお、本例では止め輪46をC型止め輪としているが、同心止め輪、又はばね材をC型にした止め輪とすることもできる。また、止め輪46の抜け止めとして、外管継手10の外側からビスを立ててもよい。
このように、段差44(第一ストッパー部)と止め輪46(第二ストッパー部)で二つの保持板41(突出部)を挟むことで、外管継手10に収容した内管継手20は軸方向の移動が制限されて所定以上動けなくなる。すなわち、外管継手10に対する内管継手20の相対位置が固定される。
The outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B have a step 44 on their inner surfaces as a first stopper portion. The step 44 is provided in the circumferential direction.
The inner diameter of the portion where the step 44 is provided is smaller than the outer diameter of the portion of the inner pipe joint 20 where the retaining plate 41 is provided. Therefore, when the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted from the opening on the other end side of the outer pipe joint 10, the position where the first retaining plate 41 abuts on the first stopper portion is the maximum insertion position of the inner pipe joint 20. The position where the step 44 is provided is set taking into consideration the lengths of the outer pipe joint 10 and the inner pipe joint 20, the insertion amount of the inner pipe joint 20 into the outer pipe joint 10, etc.
Further, on the inner surfaces of the outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B, a groove 45 is provided in the circumferential direction on the other end side of the step 44. The distance between the step 44 and the groove 45 is set to be slightly larger than the distance between the holding plates 41.
After the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted into the outer pipe joint 10 to the maximum insertion position, the retaining ring 46, which is the second stopper portion, is inserted along the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20 from the opening on the other end side of the outer pipe joint 10 and fitted into the groove 45. This brings the retaining ring 46 and the second holding plate 41 into close proximity. The inner pipe joint 20 cannot move back beyond the retaining ring 46 because the second holding plate 41 abuts against the retaining ring 46. In this example, the retaining ring 46 is a C-shaped retaining ring, but it can also be a concentric retaining ring or a retaining ring made of a C-shaped spring material. Also, a screw can be set from the outside of the outer pipe joint 10 to prevent the retaining ring 46 from coming off.
In this way, by sandwiching the two retaining plates 41 (protruding portions) between the step 44 (first stopper portion) and the retaining ring 46 (second stopper portion), the axial movement of the inner pipe fitting 20 housed in the outer pipe fitting 10 is restricted and the inner pipe fitting 20 cannot move beyond a predetermined amount. In other words, the relative position of the inner pipe fitting 20 with respect to the outer pipe fitting 10 is fixed.

図4(b)、(c)に示すように、内管継手20には第一の流体4(例えば空気)が流れ、外管継手10には第二の流体5(例えば水)が流れる。このとき、第二の流体5は、止め輪46と内管継手20の外面との間、及び内側リング41Aと外側リング41Bとの間を通過する。 As shown in Figures 4(b) and (c), a first fluid 4 (e.g., air) flows through the inner pipe joint 20, and a second fluid 5 (e.g., water) flows through the outer pipe joint 10. At this time, the second fluid 5 passes between the retaining ring 46 and the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20, and between the inner ring 41A and the outer ring 41B.

また、本例における二重管継手1は回転阻止部を有さず、突出部である保持板41は軸中心の回転方向には固定されていないため、内管継手20は外管継手10に対して、内管2Bと外管2Aとの捩じれを許容するように回転することができる。 In addition, the double pipe joint 1 in this example does not have a rotation prevention portion, and the retaining plate 41, which is a protruding portion, is not fixed in the rotation direction around the axis center, so the inner pipe joint 20 can rotate relative to the outer pipe joint 10 in a manner that allows twisting of the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A.

図5は内管受入部に挿入した内管継手の固定方法の第三の例を示す図であり、図5(a)は分解斜視図、図5(b)は固定した状態での側断面図、図5(c)はリング材の正面図である。
本例において、外管オス継手10Aは、オス外管継手接続部11を有する第一外管オス継手10Aaと、外管接続部13を有する第二外管オス継手10Abとからなる。また、外管メス継手10Bは、メス外管継手接続部12を有する第一外管メス継手10Baと、外管接続部13を有する第二外管メス継手10Bbとからなる。
また、内管オス継手20Aは、オス内管継手接続部21を有する第一内管オス継手20Aaと、内管接続部23を有する第二内管オス継手20Abと、第一内管オス継手20Aaと第二内管オス継手20Abとを繋ぐ環状のリング材51とからなる。また、内管メス継手20Bは、メス内管継手接続部22を有する第一内管メス継手20Baと、内管接続部23を有する第二内管メス継手20Bbと、第一内管メス継手20Baと第二内管メス継手20Bbとを繋ぐ環状のリング材51とからなる。
Figure 5 is a diagram showing a third example of a method for fixing an inner pipe fitting inserted into an inner pipe receiving portion, where Figure 5(a) is an exploded oblique view, Figure 5(b) is a side cross-sectional view in the fixed state, and Figure 5(c) is a front view of the ring material.
In this example, the outer pipe male joint 10A is composed of a first outer pipe male joint 10Aa having a male outer pipe joint connection portion 11, and a second outer pipe male joint 10Ab having an outer pipe connection portion 13. The outer pipe female joint 10B is composed of a first outer pipe female joint 10Ba having a female outer pipe joint connection portion 12, and a second outer pipe female joint 10Bb having an outer pipe connection portion 13.
The inner pipe male joint 20A is made up of a first inner pipe male joint 20Aa having a male inner pipe joint connection portion 21, a second inner pipe male joint 20Ab having an inner pipe connection portion 23, and an annular ring material 51 connecting the first inner pipe male joint 20Aa and the second inner pipe male joint 20Ab. The inner pipe female joint 20B is made up of a first inner pipe female joint 20Ba having a female inner pipe joint connection portion 22, a second inner pipe female joint 20Bb having an inner pipe connection portion 23, and an annular ring material 51 connecting the first inner pipe female joint 20Ba and the second inner pipe female joint 20Bb.

リング材51には、一方側から第一内管オス継手20Aa又は第一内管メス継手20Baのうち内管継手接続部が設けられた端部とは反対側の端部が略半分まで差し込まれると共に、他方側から第二内管オス継手20Ab又は第二内管メス継手20Bbのうち内管接続部23が設けられた端部とは反対側の端部が略半分まで差し込まれる。これにより、第一内管オス継手20Aaと第二内管オス継手20Abが一体化されてなる内管オス継手20A、及び第一内管メス継手20Baと第二内管メス継手20Bbが一体化されて内管メス継手20Bは、外面に突出部としてリング材51を有することとなる。
リング材51は、外面が外管継手10の内面に接し、内面が内管継手20の外面に密着する。また、外面と内面との間には、流体が流れる長孔51Aが形成されている。
The end of the first inner pipe male joint 20Aa or the first inner pipe female joint 20Ba opposite to the end where the inner pipe joint connecting portion is provided is inserted approximately halfway into the ring material 51 from one side, and the end of the second inner pipe male joint 20Ab or the second inner pipe female joint 20Bb opposite to the end where the inner pipe connecting portion 23 is provided is inserted approximately halfway from the other side. As a result, the inner pipe male joint 20A formed by integrating the first inner pipe male joint 20Aa and the second inner pipe male joint 20Ab, and the inner pipe female joint 20B formed by integrating the first inner pipe female joint 20Ba and the second inner pipe female joint 20Bb have the ring material 51 as a protrusion on the outer surface.
The outer surface of the ring material 51 contacts the inner surface of the outer pipe joint 10, and the inner surface is in close contact with the outer surface of the inner pipe joint 20. In addition, a long hole 51A through which a fluid flows is formed between the outer surface and the inner surface.

本例では、第一ストッパー部を、第一外管オス継手10Aaの一端の端面52Aと、第一外管メス継手10Baの一端の端面52Bとしている。また、第二外管オス継手10Ab及び第二外管メス継手10Bbは、第二ストッパー部として段差53を内面に有する。段差53は、円周方向に亘って設けられており、段差53が設けられた部分の内径は、内管継手20のうちリング材51が設けられた部分の外径よりも小さくなっている。
製造時などにおいて二重管2の端部に二重管継手1を取付ける際の手順例としては、まず、第二内管オス継手20Ab又は第二内管メス継手20Bbの内管接続部23に二重管2の内管2Bをカシメ接続する。
次に、内管2Bが接続された第二内管オス継手20Ab又は第二内管メス継手20Bbを、第二外管オス継手10Ab又は第二外管メス継手10Bbに通し、リング材51に一方側から略半分まで差し込む。また、第一内管オス継手20Aa又は第一内管メス継手20Baを、リング材51の他方側から略半分まで差し込む。なお、リング材51と第一内管オス継手20Aa又は第一内管メス継手20Baとは、予め一体的に形成されていてもよい。
次に、第一外管オス継手10Aa又は第一外管メス継手10Baの一端を、第一内管オス継手20Aa又は第一内管メス継手20Baに被せるようにして、第二外管オス継手10Ab又は第二外管メス継手10Bbに差し込む。この状態においてリング材51は端面52A又は端面52Bと段差53とに挟まれるように位置するため、リング材51が端面52A又は端面52B及び段差53に当接することによって、外管継手10に収容した内管継手20は軸方向の移動が制限されて所定以上動けなくなる。すなわち、外管継手10に対する内管継手20の相対位置が固定される。
次に、第二外管オス継手10Ab又は第二外管メス継手10Bbの外管接続部13に二重管2の外管2Aをカシメ接続する。これにより二重管2には、端部に外管継手10と内管継手20とからなる二重管継手1の片割れが取り付けられた状態となる。
In this example, the first stopper portion is an end face 52A at one end of the first outer pipe male joint 10Aa and an end face 52B at one end of the first outer pipe female joint 10Ba. The second outer pipe male joint 10Ab and the second outer pipe female joint 10Bb have a step 53 on their inner surfaces as a second stopper portion. The step 53 is provided around the circumference, and the inner diameter of the portion where the step 53 is provided is smaller than the outer diameter of the portion of the inner pipe joint 20 where the ring material 51 is provided.
As an example of a procedure for attaching the double pipe fitting 1 to the end of the double pipe 2 during manufacturing, etc., first, the inner pipe 2B of the double pipe 2 is crimped to the inner pipe connection portion 23 of the second inner pipe male fitting 20Ab or the second inner pipe female fitting 20Bb.
Next, the second inner pipe male joint 20Ab or the second inner pipe female joint 20Bb to which the inner pipe 2B is connected is passed through the second outer pipe male joint 10Ab or the second outer pipe female joint 10Bb, and inserted approximately halfway from one side into the ring material 51. Also, the first inner pipe male joint 20Aa or the first inner pipe female joint 20Ba is inserted approximately halfway from the other side of the ring material 51. The ring material 51 and the first inner pipe male joint 20Aa or the first inner pipe female joint 20Ba may be integrally formed in advance.
Next, one end of the first outer pipe male joint 10Aa or the first outer pipe female joint 10Ba is inserted into the second outer pipe male joint 10Ab or the second outer pipe female joint 10Bb so as to cover the first inner pipe male joint 20Aa or the first inner pipe female joint 20Ba. In this state, the ring material 51 is positioned so as to be sandwiched between the end face 52A or the end face 52B and the step 53, and therefore, by the ring material 51 abutting against the end face 52A or the end face 52B and the step 53, the axial movement of the inner pipe joint 20 housed in the outer pipe joint 10 is restricted and it cannot move more than a predetermined amount. In other words, the relative position of the inner pipe joint 20 with respect to the outer pipe joint 10 is fixed.
Next, the outer pipe 2A of the double pipe 2 is crimped to the outer pipe connecting portion 13 of the second outer pipe male joint 10Ab or the second outer pipe female joint 10Bb. As a result, one half of the double pipe joint 1 consisting of the outer pipe joint 10 and the inner pipe joint 20 is attached to the end of the double pipe 2.

図5(b)、(c)に示すように、内管継手20には第一の流体4(例えば空気)が流れ、外管継手10には第二の流体5(例えば水)が流れる。このとき、第二の流体5は、長孔51Aを通過する。 As shown in Figures 5(b) and (c), a first fluid 4 (e.g., air) flows through the inner pipe joint 20, and a second fluid 5 (e.g., water) flows through the outer pipe joint 10. At this time, the second fluid 5 passes through the long hole 51A.

また、本例における二重管継手1は回転阻止部を有さず、突出部であるリング材51は軸中心の回転方向には固定されていないため、内管継手20は外管継手10に対して、内管2Bと外管2Aとの捩じれを許容するように回転できる。 In addition, the double pipe joint 1 in this example does not have a rotation prevention portion, and the protruding ring material 51 is not fixed in the rotation direction around the axis, so the inner pipe joint 20 can rotate relative to the outer pipe joint 10 in a manner that allows twisting of the inner pipe 2B and the outer pipe 2A.

図6は内管受入部に挿入した内管継手の固定方法の第四の例を示す側断面図である。また、図7は第四の例の固定方法を用いた二重管継手の外観写真であり、図7(a)は外管継手に内管継手を挿入する前の状態を示し、図7(b)は外管継手に内管継手を挿入した状態を示している。
本例は、上記した第一の例と同様に、内管オス継手20A及び内管メス継手20Bは、外面から突出した突出部として板状の突片31を複数有する。突片31は、オス内管継手接続部21又はメス内管継手接続部22と内管接続部23との間の位置において、円周方向に所定間隔(例えば120度間隔)で設けられ、上面が外管継手10の内面に接する。また、各突片31の高さは等しい。また、各突片31には、有底孔62が設けられている。
外管オス継手10A及び外管メス継手10Bは、外面から内面を貫通した貫通孔61を複数有する。貫通孔61は、オス外管継手接続部11又はメス外管継手接続部12と外管接続部13との間の位置において、突片31(突出部)に対応して円周方向に所定間隔で設けられている。
なお、貫通孔61及び有底孔62を設ける位置は、外管継手10及び内管継手20の長さや、外管継手10への内管継手20の挿入量等を考慮して設定する。
Fig. 6 is a side cross-sectional view showing a fourth example of a method for fixing an inner pipe joint inserted into an inner pipe receiving portion. Fig. 7 is a photograph of the appearance of a double pipe joint using the fourth example of the fixing method, in which Fig. 7(a) shows a state before the inner pipe joint is inserted into the outer pipe joint, and Fig. 7(b) shows a state after the inner pipe joint is inserted into the outer pipe joint.
In this example, similar to the first example described above, the inner pipe male joint 20A and the inner pipe female joint 20B have a plurality of plate-shaped protrusions 31 as protrusions protruding from the outer surface. The protrusions 31 are provided at a predetermined interval (e.g., 120 degree intervals) in the circumferential direction at a position between the male inner pipe joint connection portion 21 or the female inner pipe joint connection portion 22 and the inner pipe connection portion 23, and the upper surface contacts the inner surface of the outer pipe joint 10. The protrusions 31 are equal in height. Each protrusion 31 is provided with a bottomed hole 62.
The outer pipe male joint 10A and the outer pipe female joint 10B have a plurality of through holes 61 penetrating from the outer surface to the inner surface. The through holes 61 are provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction in correspondence with the protrusions 31 (protrusions) at positions between the male outer pipe joint connection portion 11 or the female outer pipe joint connection portion 12 and the outer pipe connection portion 13.
The positions at which the through hole 61 and the bottomed hole 62 are provided are set taking into consideration the lengths of the outer pipe joint 10 and the inner pipe joint 20, the insertion amount of the inner pipe joint 20 into the outer pipe joint 10, etc.

組み立ての際は、内管継手20を外管継手10に挿入し、外管継手10の貫通孔62の位置と有底孔61の位置を合わせた後、ビス等の挿通具63を外管継手1の外側から貫通孔62及び有底孔61に通して固定する。
これにより、内管継手20は突片31を介して外管継手10に接続され、内管受入部16に収容された内管継手20は軸方向の移動が制限されて所定以上動けなくなる。すなわち、外管継手10に対する内管継手20の相対位置が固定される。
When assembling, the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted into the outer pipe joint 10, the position of the through hole 62 of the outer pipe joint 10 is aligned with the position of the bottom hole 61, and then an insertion tool 63 such as a screw is passed through the through hole 62 and the bottom hole 61 from the outside of the outer pipe joint 1 to secure it in place.
As a result, the inner pipe joint 20 is connected to the outer pipe joint 10 via the protruding piece 31, and the axial movement of the inner pipe joint 20 housed in the inner pipe receiving portion 16 is restricted so that it cannot move beyond a predetermined distance. In other words, the relative position of the inner pipe joint 20 with respect to the outer pipe joint 10 is fixed.

また、本例における二重管継手1は、内管継手20が突片31を介して外管継手10に接続されているため、外管継手10に対する内管継手20の回転が阻止される。 In addition, in this example, the double pipe joint 1 has the inner pipe joint 20 connected to the outer pipe joint 10 via the protrusion 31, so that the inner pipe joint 20 is prevented from rotating relative to the outer pipe joint 10.

次に、本発明の他の実施例による二重管継手について説明する。なお、上記した実施例と同一機能部材については同一符号を付して説明を省略する。
図8は本実施例による二重管への二重管継手の取付け手順を示す図である。
上記実施例で説明したように、製造時などにおいて二重管2の端部に二重管継手1を取付ける際は、まず内管継手20の内管接続部23に二重管2の内管2Bをカシメ接続し、その後に外管継手10の外管接続部13に二重管2の外管2Aをカシメ接続する。
このとき、二重管2の全長が短い場合は、内管接続部23に内管2Bをカシメ接続するにあたって、比較的容易に外管2Aから内管2Bを引き出すように両者の位置関係をずらせるため、外管2Aと内管2Bの長さは同一でも構わない。しかし、二重管2の全長が長い場合は、外管2Aと内管2Bとの位置関係をずらすことに手間がかかる。
そこで、本実施例においては、内管2Bのホースをかしめる部分が内管2Aよりも外方に突出するように、内管2Bを外管2Aよりも長くしている。また、外管継手10の全長を、内管2Bの突出量に対応させて上記した実施例よりも長くしている。
Next, a double pipe joint according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. Note that the same reference numerals are used to designate the same functional members as those in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a procedure for attaching a double pipe joint to a double pipe according to this embodiment.
As described in the above embodiment, when attaching the double pipe joint 1 to the end of the double pipe 2 during manufacturing, etc., first the inner pipe 2B of the double pipe 2 is crimped to the inner pipe connection portion 23 of the inner pipe joint 20, and then the outer pipe 2A of the double pipe 2 is crimped to the outer pipe connection portion 13 of the outer pipe joint 10.
In this case, if the overall length of the double pipe 2 is short, the lengths of the outer pipe 2A and the inner pipe 2B may be the same, since the positional relationship between the two can be shifted so that the inner pipe 2B can be pulled out from the outer pipe 2A relatively easily when crimping and connecting the inner pipe 2B to the inner pipe connecting portion 23. However, if the overall length of the double pipe 2 is long, it takes time and effort to shift the positional relationship between the outer pipe 2A and the inner pipe 2B.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the inner pipe 2B is made longer than the outer pipe 2A so that the portion of the inner pipe 2B that crimps the hose protrudes outward from the inner pipe 2A. Also, the overall length of the outer pipe joint 10 is made longer than in the above embodiment in accordance with the amount of protrusion of the inner pipe 2B.

製造時などにおいて二重管2の端部に二重管継手1を取付ける際の手順例としては、まず、内管2Bの外側に外管2Aを通し、内管2Bの端部を外管2Aの端部よりも突出させる(図8(a))。
次に、内管継手20の内管接続部23を二重管2の内管2Bの端部へ差し込む(図8(b))。
次に、金属製等のリング、針金、又はホースバンド等のカシメ材60Aを用いて、内管2Bを内管継手20にかしめる(図8(c))。
次に、外管継手10の外管接続部13を二重管2の外管2Aの端部へ差し込む(図8(d))。
最後に、金属製等のリング、針金、又はホースバンド等のカシメ材60Bを用いて、外管2Aを外管継手10にかしめる(図8(e))。この状態において外管接続部13の軸方向位置と内管接続部23の軸方向位置は重ならない位置にある。
このように、本実施例による二重管継手1は、外管2Aと内管2Bとの位置関係をずらすことなく二重管2の端部に二重管継手1を取付けることができる。そのため、例えば二重管2が一般的な全長が20mと長い消防用ホースである場合など、二重管2の全長が長い場合に特に有効である。
As an example of the procedure for attaching a double pipe fitting 1 to the end of a double pipe 2 during manufacturing, etc., first, the outer pipe 2A is passed over the outside of the inner pipe 2B, and the end of the inner pipe 2B is made to protrude beyond the end of the outer pipe 2A (Figure 8 (a)).
Next, the inner pipe connecting portion 23 of the inner pipe joint 20 is inserted into the end portion of the inner pipe 2B of the double pipe 2 (FIG. 8(b)).
Next, the inner pipe 2B is crimped to the inner pipe joint 20 using a crimping material 60A such as a metal ring, wire, or hose band (FIG. 8(c)).
Next, the outer pipe connecting portion 13 of the outer pipe joint 10 is inserted into the end portion of the outer pipe 2A of the double pipe 2 (FIG. 8(d)).
Finally, the outer pipe 2A is crimped to the outer pipe joint 10 using a crimping material 60B such as a metal ring, wire, or hose band (FIG. 8(e)). In this state, the axial position of the outer pipe connecting portion 13 and the axial position of the inner pipe connecting portion 23 are not overlapped.
In this way, the double pipe joint 1 according to this embodiment can be attached to the end of the double pipe 2 without changing the positional relationship between the outer pipe 2A and the inner pipe 2B. Therefore, this is particularly effective when the double pipe 2 has a long overall length, such as when the double pipe 2 is a fire hose with a general overall length of 20 m.
