Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a piping clamp for clamping a plurality of hoses or pipes, and particularly to a lamp suitable for facilitating piping work.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a hose clamp having a structure shown in FIG. 4 has been generally used as a hose clamp for clamping a plurality of hoses in hydraulic piping of a hydraulic working machine 1, such as a hydraulic excavator. That is, the hose clamp 20 bundles a plurality of hoses 21 with a band-shaped plate 22.
is fixed to the frame 24 with bolts 23. On the other hand, a lamp with a structure shown in FIG. 5 has been proposed as a lamp suitable for arranging and piping a plurality of hoses (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 148851/1983).
, this hose clamp 30 has a configuration in which a plurality of hoses 31 are aligned and sandwiched between a corrugated strip-shaped plate 32 and a strip-shaped flat plate 35, and the ends of the plates 32.35 are fixed to a frame 34 with bolts 33. It is.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The hose clamp 20 shown in FIG.
Because it is difficult to tie each hose 21 evenly, it may not be possible to securely clamp all of the hoses 21 to the extent that they are properly flattened. Alternatively, there is a problem that a gap is created between the hose 21 and the plate 22, and the hose 21 and the plate 22 rub against each other due to vibrations during operation of the hydraulic working machine, causing damage.

On the other hand, the hose clamp 30 shown in FIG. 5 has an eight-piece configuration that was proposed to improve the problems of the hose clamp 20 shown in FIG.
If the number of hoses 31 is relatively small, for example about 10 in the upper and lower stages, it is not difficult to separate each hose 31 during one assembly, and it is possible to clamp them in an orderly manner.
Although it is possible to prevent straining between the hoses 31 or between the hoses 21 and the plate 32.35,
There are quite a few cases where the number of hoses 31 exceeds 10, and when there are such a large number, it is difficult to separate the hoses 31, especially when working in a narrow space such as a hydraulic excavator. The worker supports the hoses 31 with their hands using the plate 32 with the hoses 31 lined up, and then tightens the bolts 33 in this state. This makes it difficult to separate the hoses 31 and forces an unreasonable working posture, reducing assembly efficiency. It had some problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the problems of the prior art described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a clamp for piping that neatly and reliably clamps a plurality of hoses or pipes, and that is easy to assemble and facilitates piping work. do.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the piping clamp of the present invention is a piping clamp that clamps a plurality of hoses or pipes, in which a block made of an elastic body has a plurality of holes having openings on the outer surface of the block. are set at arbitrary intervals,
The opening is provided with a slit that can expand the opening width of the opening so that the hose or pipe can be inserted into the hole.

It is also preferable that the plurality of holes provided in the block be formed to have various hole diameters corresponding to the outer diameter dimensions of the hose or pipe to be fitted into the holes.

The block may be attached to a flat plate for arranging the block.

[Effect]

With the above configuration, multiple hoses or pipes can be connected to one
It is inserted into a plurality of holes having openings provided in a block made of an elastic body, with the opening width of each opening being widened. A widened hole always generates a force that tries to close the opening, so the inserted hose or pipe will fit into the hole due to the force that tries to close the opening of the hole, and the attached hose or pipe will The slit absorbs vibrations, preventing it from falling out of the hole or moving within the hole. and.

The block is clamped neatly and reliably using the holes provided in the block without using any bolts for clamping.

On the other hand, fitting a hose or tube into a hole is done by pushing the hose or tube along the opening of the hole, and on the other hand, removing it from a hole is done by widening the opening of the hole. Since this is done by pushing out the hoses or pipes in this way, the hoses or pipes can be easily separated, and even if the number of pipes increases, or even if the pipe work is directed upward, the clamping can be performed with ease of assembly.

By forming the plurality of holes provided in the block with hole diameters corresponding to the outer diameter dimensions of the hoses or pipes to be fitted into the holes, it is possible to ensure that the layers are clamped securely, and to hoses or tubes can be arranged arbitrarily.

Furthermore, by pasting the block onto a flat plate, the block is fixedly installed by welding or bolting the flat plate to the mating frame.

[Embodiment] In Fig. 0, which describes the first embodiment of the present invention with reference to Figs. Inserted,
A plurality of holes 2 having a diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the hose or pipe are provided in parallel at arbitrary intervals, and the holes 2 have an opening 2a having an opening width of dimension Ω on the outer surface 1a of the block 1. are doing. 3 is a slit attached to the hole 2. The slit 3 is provided to enable the opening width dimension a of the opening 2a to be widened, and the depth of the slit 3 is equal to that of the block 1.
It is determined by the material of the hole 2, the diameter of the hose or pipe inserted into the hole 2, etc. 4 is a flat plate to which block 1 is attached, and is used for fixing to a mating frame. Reference numeral 5 denotes a frame to which the flat plate 4 is fixed by welding, bolting, or the like.

By configuring the piping clamp as described above,
When clamping multiple hoses or pipes, frame 5
Place the hose or pipe along the opening 2a of the block 1 fixedly installed above, and insert the hose or pipe into the hole 2 with your hand or a piece of wood.
Press inward.

Due to this suppression, the opening width n of the opening 2a is widened because the block 1 is made of an elastic material such as rubber and the slit 3 is provided, and the hose or pipe is fitted into the hole 2. In this case, the hoses or tubes may be inserted into the hole 2 one by one, or several hoses or tubes may be inserted at the same time.
It is fitted into the hole 2 by a force generated by the widening of the opening 2a that tends to close the opening 2a.

In addition, since vibrations during operation of the hydraulic work machine are absorbed by the slits 3, it is prevented from falling out of the holes 2 or moving within the holes 2, and the blocks 1 are clamped neatly and reliably at the intervals between the holes 2 provided in the block 1. Ru. By fitting the hose or pipe into the hole 2 and clamping it securely, the hose or pipe can be easily removed even when the number of pipes increases or when working with upward piping. , there is no need to use any bolts when clamping hoses or pipes,
M Can be clamped with good stability.

On the other hand, when removing a hose or pipe from hole 2 when repairing or inspecting a hydraulic working machine, it can be removed by pushing out the hose or pipe so as to widen the opening 2a of hole 2, making disassembly work more efficient. It can be carried out.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the drawings, the same reference numerals as in Figs. 1 and 2 indicate the same parts. In Fig. 1, 6 indicates a hole with a larger diameter than the hole 2.

6a is the opening of 66, and the opening width of the opening 6a is a.

The clamp of this embodiment has a plurality of holes 2 and 6 of different diameters.
This configuration allows the hoses or pipes to be placed at any desired position, making it possible to clamp a larger number of hoses or pipes with different diameters at desired positions in accordance with the piping route compared to the first embodiment. can.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects described below.

The hose or tube is clamped by being fitted into holes with a plurality of slits having openings on the surface provided in a block made of an elastic body, thereby ensuring that the hose or pipe is clamped in an orderly manner at the intervals between the holes.

Easy piping work and good assembly.

By forming the hole to have a diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the hose or pipe to be fitted into the hole, the fit between the hole and the hose or pipe is further ensured, and hoses of different diameters can be fitted. Alternatively, the tubes can be arranged arbitrarily.
