Abstract

PURPOSE: To make the current feeding time appropriate so as to be able to identify the sort and bore of a joint by setting the electric resistance value and the current feeding time at the relationsihip of 1:1, and setting electric energy necessary for fusion- welding univocally. CONSTITUTION: After detecting environmental temperature by a temperature sensor 70, the terminal of a controller 60 is connected to the connector 65 of a joint 10, and micro voltage is applied to both ends of a connector pin to measure the resistance value R1 of a heating wire. This resistance value R1 is compared with a preset R-t chart to set the current feeding time t1, and correction corresponding to the environmental temperature is applied to set the current feeding time t2. A fushion-welding start button 73 is then switched on, and the voltage between both ends of the connector pin is taken again in a relatively early stage in the course of current application to measure the resistance value R2 at this time. The initial resistance value R1 and the resistance value R2 are compared, and at the time of R1≠R2, a buzzer is continuously sounded to inform abnormaliy. At the time of R1=R2, current feeding is stopped upon the lapse of the current feeding time t2, and a buzzer 74 is intermittently sounded to inform the completion of fusion-welding.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it is well known to connect a pipe made of a thermoplastic resin material such as polyethylene or polybutene to a joint by electric fusion. In addition, as a method for controlling the energization time at this time, first measure the electrical resistance of the heating wire embedded inside the electric fusion splicing joint to determine the joint type and diameter (the diameter is the nominal diameter of the connection port, and the type is a socket or cap). Etc. type)

Further, in this kind of electric fusion joint, there are a double-ended joint having two fusion connection ports like a socket and a single-ended joint having one fusion connection port like a cap. Conventionally, the heating wires used for these have the same characteristics and are continuously wound around the connection port. Therefore, the electrical resistance value of the joint was twice as large as that of the socket joint having both ports than that of the cap joint having one port.

However, in the above-mentioned energization time control method, since the electric resistance of the heating wire itself usually has a variation of several%, when there are many kinds,
In some cases, there was an unavoidable portion in the design where the ranges of electrical resistance for each product type diameter overlap, and it was not possible to identify the important product type diameter. Further, as described above, in the conventional electric fusion splicing joint, when trying to identify the product type and the diameter, even if the diameter is the same, the socket (both joint) and the cap (single joint) have an electric resistance value of 2: 1. Therefore, there is a case where the socket having a small diameter and the cap having a large diameter have substantially the same electric resistance value. At this time, if the identification is incorrect, the socket may be over-fused and the cap may be insufficiently fused. Therefore, from this point as well, there is a problem that the diameter of the product type cannot be identified. In addition, in general, if the electrofusion apparatus is provided with an identification function, the structure and control become complicated and the cost becomes high.

In the energization time control method of the present invention, the electrical resistance value R and the energization time t are in a one-to-one correspondence for each product diameter.
Since these are set on the R-t diagram in advance, the energization time t is obtained by measuring the electric resistance value R,
Electric energy (hereinafter referred to as fusion energy) E necessary for fusion is uniquely given. Here, if the energization time is corrected in accordance with the ambient environmental temperature, that is, the variation of the resistance value depending on the fusion site, season, etc., a better fusion state can be obtained.
In addition, the current value may be corrected and the voltage value may be corrected and controlled in the current control method and the voltage control method, respectively, instead of the energization time. This will be appropriately selected according to the fusing device and the situation.
In addition, the fact that the resistance value R1 before fusion work and the resistance value R2 during work, that is, during energization are outside the predetermined range (for example, the difference between R1 and R2 is 5% or more) means that there is an abnormality such as a resistance measurement error. It means that it has occurred, and since the energization is stopped by this, defects can be prevented beforehand.

The above fusion energy is generally proportional to the fusion area of the joint. However, if the fusion energy is determined only by the fusion area, the pipe and the joint having a large diameter have a large wall thickness, so that insufficient fusion occurs. If the diameter is small, the wall thickness is also small, resulting in over-fusion. Therefore, it is necessary to set the optimum fusion energy by considering both the diameter of the joint and the fusion area. In the present invention, the fusion energy per connection port is set to 1: 1 so as not to overlap for each diameter type of the joint, and the measured electrical resistance is irrespective of the type such as single-ended or double-ended. The energization time is uniquely determined based on the value, and as a result, the fusion energy according to the diameter and the wall thickness of the joint is supplied.

The R-t diagram may be a straight line or a curved line as long as the electric resistance value R and the energization time t have a one-to-one correspondence, but in the case of the constant current control system, the fusion energy is Since E and Rt are in a proportional relationship, it is easy to set them on the upward-sloping monotonically increasing diagrams as shown in FIGS. On the other hand,
In the case of the constant voltage control method, since Rt is in inverse proportion, it is easy to set a downward-sloping monotonically decreasing diagram. For the single-ended joint and the double-ended joint, it is easy to set a diagram such as Fig. 2 which is a combination of the R-t diagram for the single-ended joint and the R-t diagram for the double-ended joint. Although the resistance value is 2 to 1, the energization time is the same for both of them, so that the fusion energy per mouth is the same. In addition, since there is little change in the wall thickness and the fusion-bonded area where the diameter is small, it is possible to set even in a smooth diagram as shown in FIG.

As can be seen from the figure, the ranges of electric resistance of S13 and RS13 × 10 and S16 and RS16 × 13 overlap each other, and the conventional method cannot discriminate the type and diameter of the joint. On the other hand, in the energization time control method according to the present invention, it is not necessary to identify the product type caliber size, and the energization time t corresponding to the electrical resistance R of the electric fusion joint is given in a one-to-one manner. If the electric resistance R is 1.84Ω which is the lower limit of the tolerance, the energization time t is 26.8.

Seconds are automatically given. As a result, the optimum fusion energy set for each product diameter is given to each.

Normally, the nominal diameters of the joint and the pipe are proportional to their respective wall thicknesses. That is, as the diameter increases, the wall thickness of the joint and the pipe also increases. Therefore, the heat capacity of the fused portion also increases as the diameter increases, and a large amount of fusion energy is required. Figure 1 shows an embodiment according to the constant current control method, since the fusion energy larger along with the nominal diameter is large, according to become large diameter (E n = I 2 Rt ( I = constant) from) It increases with the electric resistance R and the energization time t. In the present embodiment, the relationship between the electric resistance R and the energization time t is set on the diagram represented by t = 20R-10, but it is not necessary to be limited to this mathematical expression, and t = 20 depending on the size and material of the joint. a 1 R + b 1 or t = a 2 R

In the case of the constant voltage control method as another method, since the fusion energy increases as the nominal diameter increases (from En = V 2 t / R (V = constant)), the electrical resistance increases. R is reduced, and the energization time t is lengthened.
Therefore, the relationship between the electric resistance R and the energization time t is t = a3 /

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the R-t diagram. In this example, a diagram t = 10R + 15 for a single-ended joint such as a cap (Ca) and a diagram t = 5R + 15 for a double-ended joint such as a socket (S) are combined. Although the ordinate represents the energization time t and the abscissa represents the electrical resistance R here, it may be as shown in FIG. As you can see from the figure, Ca20, 25, 30, 40 and S20,
The eight items 25, 30, and 40 are each set to have a one-to-one energization time t with respect to the electric resistance R. And C
Looking at a and S for each same size, the electrical resistance R is set to 1: 2 and the energization time t is set to be the same. For example, the electric resistance R of Ca20 is about 1.6Ω, that of S20 is about 3.2Ω, and the energization time t is 31 seconds for both. Therefore, since the fusion energy per mouth is the same for both Ca and S, both can perform good fusion under the same conditions.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the R-t diagram. In this example, a diagram t = 1R + 26 for a small aperture and a diagram t = 5R + 15 for a relatively large aperture are continuously combined. For example, in the case of Ca10 to S13 having a small diameter, since the fusion area and the wall thickness do not change so much, it is possible to set the electric resistance R so that it does not overlap even if the energization time t hardly changes, or even if it overlaps a little. Since the required fusion energy of the above is almost unchanged, a suitable one can be provided. Such a diagram can also be set as an example. Incidentally, the R-t diagram of the present invention is not limited to the above example, and other modified examples are possible. For example, when the diameter is 8 to 50 mm, there are about 40 types of fused portions, but in this case, the electric resistance value R can be set within the range of about 0.5 to 9 Ω. Also, as in the above example of monotonous increase, R of monotonous decrease
It goes without saying that the -t diagram can be used.

Next, the fusion control operation of the controller of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. It should be noted that the numbers attached to the drawings may not necessarily match the control order in some embodiments. Turn on the controller power. At the same time, check the input voltage, frequency and leakage. Along with the above checks, the ambient temperature is detected by a temperature sensor. Then connect the controller terminals to the connector pins of the joint. A small voltage is applied to both ends of the connector pin, and the resistance value R1 of the heating wire is measured. The energization time t1 is set by comparing the resistance value R1 with a preset R-t diagram. After the energization time t1 is set, or simultaneously with the setting, the energization time t2 is set by adding the correction according to the environmental temperature. The energization time t2 is obtained by the following equation, for example. t2
= T1 x {1- (environmental temperature -23 ° C) x temperature correction coefficient}
The temperature correction coefficient is preferably about 0.006 to 0.01, and 0.008
Is more preferable. Actually, it is not necessary to set the energization time t1 if t2 is simultaneously calculated by the above equation. When the correction based on the environmental temperature is not added, the energization may be stopped at time t1. Turn on the fusion start button. The voltage between the connector pins is again measured at a relatively early time (within about 5 seconds) while the fusion current (5.5 A) is being applied, and the resistance value R2 at this time is measured. The initial resistance value R1 and the resistance value R2 at the time of fusion are compared. 10 When R1 ≠ R2 (with 5% tolerance), an alarm signal is output as an error and the buzzer sounds continuously. 11 When R1 = R2 (with allowance 5% added), continue energizing. 12 When the energization time t2 has elapsed, the energization is stopped.
And the buzzer of fusion completion is sounded with an intermittent sound. As described above, the control of the energization time is simple in terms of control because the time is simply set based on the resistance value of the heating wire without identifying the diameter of the joint type.
