Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for removing a residual cable, which is a cable for communication and electric power which is laid by being inserted into a pipeline buried underground and which is cut off and left in the pipeline. More specifically, the present invention relates to a resin injection type gripping means for a cable end having no extra length.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a tendency to improve the aesthetics of a city by burying cables for communication, electric power, etc., which have been wired by telephone poles, etc. underground. As a method for this, a pipe that is slightly thicker than the cable is buried underground, and manholes are provided at predetermined intervals in this pipe. A large number of through holes are formed in the side wall of the manhole, and a duct is tightly fitted in the through holes to connect to the duct. Then, the cable is inserted through the duct and once exposed in the manhole from the duct, and then laid again through the duct through the duct.Maintenance and expansion of the cable can be performed in the manhole. It is possible. When the cable is no longer used, it is pulled out when it can be easily pulled out, and when it is difficult to pull it out, it is cut so that it does not get in the way in the manhole and left in the pipeline.

By the way, as urbanization progresses, demand for underground cables is increasing, but construction for excavating the ground and burying new pipelines is becoming very difficult. Therefore, the reuse of the existing pipeline where the cable is abandoned is reviewed again. In this case, when the end of the remaining cable has a long extra length in the manhole, the cable end can be directly connected to the cable pulling means to easily remove the cable. However, the excess length of the cable terminal is limited to the length of the manhole, and the manhole itself does not have enough space, so the remaining cable is cut near the entrance of the duct or the pipeline side, and there is almost no excess length of the terminal. In this case, it is inevitably necessary to separately hold the cable ends.

Here, a cable is formed by bundling a large number of wire rods to form a single conductor, and further a large number of conductors are partitioned by paraffin paper or the like and divided into multiple layers like tree rings. Therefore, the weight is very large, and a large sliding resistance is applied between the pipe and the pipe when the pipe is pulled out. For this reason, when gripping a cable end with no excess length, it is necessary to grip the end with a large pull-out load that overcomes the cable weight, sliding resistance, etc., and the pull-out load is, for example, several tons or tens of tons. Further, since the cable end in this case is inserted into the duct side, the end must be grasped from the inside. Therefore, when grasping the cable end when removing the remaining cable with no excess length, it is required to firmly grasp the cable end from the inside with a pulling load of, for example, several tens of tons, by a simple work inside the manhole. To be done.

Conventionally, with respect to the removal of the above-mentioned underground cable, for example, there is a prior art of Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-114313. In this prior art, a pair of grip rollers having a petal-shaped cross section, an adjusting rod for adjusting a distance between the rollers, a hydraulic motor for rotating the grip rollers, and the like are provided, and the pair of grip rollers hold a cable while pulling the cable to draw a conduit. Has been shown to be removed from.

[0006]

By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the cable is grasped and pulled by a pair of grip rollers, when the end of the cable is first gripped, the terminal is gripped. Must have a long extra length. Therefore, if there is no extra length of the cable end, it cannot be applied to the first pulling out.

In view of such a point, the present invention provides a residual cable removing device capable of surely pulling out and removing the end of the residual cable having no extra length from its inside with a large pulling load. The purpose is to

[0008]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention relates to a residual cable that has been cut and left in a conduit communicating with a manhole and is left at the terminal end of the residual cable. In the residual cable removal device that inserts a pulling jig that protrudes from the pipe and fixes the cable end and pulls it out of the pipeline, the pulling jig is bonded to the tip of the hollow rod and to the proximal end of the rod. The hollow rod is provided with an engaging rough surface for retaining the cable and a small hole for outflow of the resin injected into the rod. With the rod tip of the tool inserted into the end of the residual cable, the adhesive resin injected into the rod is allowed to flow from the small hole to the end of the residual cable in the required area, and the resin is cured to leave the outer circumference of the rod and the residual cable. And Bull terminal unit and is characterized in that become configured to enhance the pulling power of leaving the cable bonded integrally.

Further, in the pulling jig, a taper-shaped enlarged diameter portion is formed at the base end portion of the rod to be inserted into the terminal portion of the remaining cable, and the resin discharged from the small hole by the enlarged diameter portion is rod-shaped. Another feature is that it is prevented from flowing out to the base end side of.

Further, in the pulling gripping jig, a cup having a diameter larger than the rod outer diameter and covering the end surface of the residual cable is provided at the exposed portion of the base end of the rod inserted into the terminal portion of the residual cable. Another feature is that the resin flowing out from the small holes is prevented from flowing out to the base end side of the rod.

Furthermore, the sharp head provided at the tip of the rod of the pulling jig has a cutting portion on the outer circumference of the head for cutting the terminal portion of the remaining cable into a plurality of rows along the axial direction of the rod. This is another feature.

[0012]

According to the above construction, in the present invention, the pulling gripping jig is inserted into the terminal portion of the residual cable left in the pipeline, and the resin is caused to flow out from the pulling gripping jig into the cable end portion. , The pulling jig and the cable end portion are firmly integrated with each other by the adhesive force of the resin, and the locking rough for retaining the cable provided on the outer circumference of the hollow rod which constitutes the pulling jig together. The surface can enhance the pulling force of the remaining cable.

Further, by providing the taper-shaped expanded portion at the base end portion of the pulling jig, the resin filling the cable is blocked by the expanded portion and leaks to the outside from the end surface of the cable. Can be prevented.

Further, by providing a cup that is pressed against the base end portion of the pulling gripping jig so as to cover the end surface of the remaining cable, it is possible to prevent the resin filled in the cable from leaking out from the end surface of the cable. It can be surely prevented.

Furthermore, by providing a cutting portion for cutting the terminal portion of the remaining cable into a plurality of rows along the rod axial direction at the rod tip of the gripping jig for towing, the wires in the cable are layered into annual rings. The arranged paraffin paper or the like can be cut, and the resin flows out from the cut place of the paraffin paper or the like and spreads over substantially the entire area of the cable terminal.

[0016]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 3, an underground laying structure of cables for communication, power, etc. will be described. First, a conduit 1 that is slightly thicker than a cable is buried in a basement such as a road for a long distance, and manholes 2 are provided in the conduit 1 at predetermined intervals. A large number of through holes 3 are formed in the side wall 2a of the manhole 2, and a duct 4 is fitted in the through hole 3 so as to project horizontally, and the duct 1 is connected to the duct 4. Then, a cable 5 for communication or the like is inserted through the long conduit 1, passes through the duct 4 while exposing the inside of the manhole 2, and again passes through the duct 4 to allow the conduit 1 to pass through.
It is laid through the inside, and it is possible to perform maintenance work and extension work of the cable 5 in the manhole 2.

In the cable 5, one wire 6 is formed by bundling a large number of wire rods, and the plurality of wire 6 is partitioned by paraffin paper 5a and divided into a plurality of layers like tree rings to cover the outer jacket. 7 is covered to have a predetermined thickness. Further, the inside of the cable 5 in use is filled with an inert nitrogen gas and its gas pressure is applied, so that it is possible to prevent water leakage into the cable 5 or detect water leakage. If the outer diameter of the cable is about 70 mm, the inner diameter is about 80 mm.
mm pipe line is used, and the cable 5 is 10 m in the pipe line 1
It is movably inserted with a clearance of m. Further, in the case of a cable that is no longer used, the cable is cut off in the middle of the manhole 2 to make it unusable, and this cable becomes the remaining cable 8.

The remaining cable 8 is cut into two parts by cutting the manhole 2 at an arbitrary position in a region where the inside of the manhole 2 is exposed and passes. In this case, when the residual cable 8 is cut near the left duct opening as shown in the figure, for example, the right residual cable 8'has a long extra length in the manhole 2 from the end of the duct 4. Since it exists, in this case, it becomes possible to easily and firmly grip and grasp the cable end portion from the outside, or to connect the cable end portion directly to the cable pulling-out means or the like. On the other hand, the left-side residual cable 8 is in a state in which the terminal portion remains inside the duct 4 and there is no extra length. In this case, the working space is limited to the gap between the duct 4 and the cable 8 and the cable terminal surface. There is no choice but to grip the cable end with the end face.

The present invention is mainly suitable for gripping the left side residual cable 8 having no excess length. As a method for this, a pulling gripping jig 10 protruding from the main body 9 of the residual cable removing device is inserted into the residual cable 8 and the cable end portion is fixed so as to be pulled out from the conduit. As is well known, the cable pulling-out means is configured to pull up the cable with a large pulling force by a driving source such as a motor and wind the cable.

Next, the resin injection type towing gripping jig 10 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the pulling jig 10 is formed of a hollow rod having a resin outflow passage 11. Towing jig 1
A sharp head 12 is provided at the tip of 0 so that it can be easily inserted into the residual cable 8, and a pulling jig 10 is left on the outer periphery of the head 12 as shown in FIG. A cutting blade 12a is provided to cut the paraffin paper in the cable 8 when it is inserted into the cable 8. Further, a resin outflow small hole 13 is provided in the towing gripping jig 10 so that the resin sent into the outflow passage 11 can flow out through the outflow small hole 1.
It is designed to flow out into the residual cable 8 from 3.
Further, by providing a protrusion 14a on the outer circumference of the towing gripping jig 10, a retaining rough surface 14 for retaining is formed, and the retaining rough surface 14 is entangled with the wire 6 of the cable 8 to prevent retaining. Strength is strengthened. Furthermore, a taper-shaped enlarged diameter portion 15 and a screw portion 16 are formed on the proximal end side of the pulling gripping jig 10, and resin filled in the residual cable 8 blocks the enlarged diameter portion 15. The residual cable 8 is prevented from leaking outside from the terminal surface.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, the residual cable 8 remaining in the pipeline 1
In order to prevent the cable 8 from bulging in the outer peripheral direction at the end of the cable 8, a cylindrical cover 20 is provided on the outer periphery of the end of the cable 8.
To arrange. Then, the pulling jig 10 is inserted into the terminal portion of the remaining cable 8. In this case, a hole of a predetermined size is made in advance in the cable end portion, and the pulling holding jig 10 is inserted into this hole, or the pulling holding jig 10 is driven with a hammer or the like without the hole. At this time, the gripping jig 10 for pulling moves relatively easily inside the cable by the sharp head 12, and further moves while cutting the paraffin paper 5a inside the cable by the cutting blade 12a. After that, a bottomed cylindrical cup 17 having a screw hole is arranged so as to cover the end surface of the cable 8, and a nut 18 is screwed into the screw portion 16 of the pulling jig 10 for tightening to thereby tighten the cup. 17 is pressed against the end surface of the cable 8 to reliably seal the end surface of the cable 8.

At this time, since the pulling jig 10 is inserted into the terminal portion of the remaining cable 8 with the bulge in the outer peripheral direction being restricted by the cover 20, the wire 6 in the cable 8 is compressed. The wire 6 is securely entangled with the locking rough surface 14 of the pulling jig 10, and the pulling jig 10 is firmly retained in the cable 8.

Then, the pump 21 is connected to the base end of the pulling jig 10 for driving. Then, the adhesive resin passes through the outflow passage 11 of the pulling gripping jig 10 and is jetted from the small hole 13 into the inside of the cable end portion under high pressure. At this time, the paraffin paper 5a in which the inside of the cable 8 is divided into layers is the cutting blade 12a.
Since the adhesive resin has been cut by, the adhesive resin exudes from the cut portion and is filled in a wide range of the cable end portion. The terminal surface of the cable 8 has a pulling jig 10 for pulling.
Since it is surely sealed by the expanded diameter portion 15 or the cup 17, the adhesive resin filled in the cable 8 does not leak out from the terminal surface. When the adhesive resin hardens after a lapse of a predetermined time, the wire 6 and the wire 6 and the locking rough surface 14 of the pulling gripping jig 10 are integrally resin-bonded in substantially the entire area of the cable end portion. In addition, since a large number of the conducting wires 6 are bent in a corrugated shape, the adhesive strength in the drawing direction is also increased.

In this way, the terminal portion of the remaining cable 8 and the pulling holding jig 10 are integrated by resin bonding so as to obtain a very large pulling load. According to experiments, a pulling load of 3 tons or more was obtained in a cable having a diameter of 25 mm, for example.

After that, the pulling jig 10 is connected to the main body 9 of the residual cable removing device, and when the main body 9 of the removing device is driven, its pulling force is transmitted to the residual cable 8 by a pulling load. Therefore, the residual cable 8 moves inside the conduit 1 against the great weight and sliding resistance and is pulled out to the manhole 2, and thus the unused residual cable 8 is reliably removed from the conduit 1. .

In the above-described embodiment, it has been described that the protrusion 14a is provided on the outer periphery of the pulling jig 10 to form the retaining rough surface 14 for retaining, but the invention is not limited to this.
Rough surface for locking 1 by providing a groove or scratching with a lathe etc.
4 may be formed. Further, even when the terminal portion of the residual cable 8 is inside the duct 4, it can be gripped in the same manner as long as the above-mentioned work is possible.

[0027]

As described above, in the device according to the present invention, the pulling holding jig is inserted into the terminal portion of the residual cable left in the pipeline, and the cable end is connected from the pulling holding jig. By allowing the resin to flow into the portion, the gripping jig for pulling and the cable end portion are firmly integrated by the adhesive force of the resin, and the resin is provided on the outer periphery of the hollow rod that constitutes the gripping jig for pulling together. Since the retaining rough surface for retaining the cable can strengthen the pulling force of the remaining cable, a particularly large pulling load can be obtained by the mechanical retaining coupling and resin bonding by the rough retaining surface. Therefore, the remaining cable can be reliably pulled out from the pipe line and removed. In addition, it is possible to remove a long-distance residual cable, which is highly practical. As a result, the pipeline in which the residual cable remains can be reused, and the work cost can be significantly reduced compared to the construction work of the new pipeline.
