DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to dispersing and attenuating a jet flow from a leak hole caused by corrosion or the like by directly laying in a fluid pressure feed pipe such as a water pipe to suppress the occurrence of a sandblast phenomenon. The present invention relates to pipe protection materials.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, when a water pipe (or a fluid pressure feed pipe for supplying high-pressure fluid) is provided close to a supply pipe for gas or the like buried under the ground, the water pipe is not provided. If a hole is made due to corrosion, etc., tap water leaks from the water pipe, and due to the water pressure at the time of the leak, the tap water hits the supply pipe with the earth and sand around the supply pipe, and if this state continues for a long time The earth and sand acts as an abrasive, and eventually a hole may be formed in the wall of the supply pipe. Such a phenomenon is called a sandblast phenomenon. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a protective member 1 made of rubber containing butadiene or the like as a main component, as shown in FIG.
Is coated on the surface of the supply pipe 2 for gas or the like buried in the ground, so that the spouted water with the earth and sand from the adjacent water pipe 3 does not directly hit the pipe wall of the supply pipe 2.

[0003]

However, the water pipe 3
The pressure of the jet flow from the leak hole is high (about 5 kg / cm2
Above), if the separation distance between the supply pipe 2 and the water pipe 3 is small,
The spouting water with the surrounding earth and sand easily reaches the protection member 1 and the protection member 1 is worn out in about 10 hours, and eventually the supply pipe 2 is exposed to the spouting flow. The tube 2 is damaged. Further, even if the thickness of the protection member 1 is increased, the workability of attaching the protection member 1 is remarkably deteriorated, and the material cost increases. Therefore, it is possible to consider a preventive means for directly wrapping a protective material for dispersing and diffusing the high-pressure water jet spouted from the leak hole around the water pipe 3, which is a cause of the sandblast phenomenon. The present invention has been proposed from this point of view, and by directly laying in a fluid pumping pipe such as a water pipe, a jet water flow from a leak hole caused by corrosion or the like is dispersed and attenuated, and the occurrence of a sand blast phenomenon is prevented. An object of the present invention is to provide a pipe protection material which is made to be able to be used.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of a pipe protecting material according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a pipe protection material 10 which is directly mounted on a water pipe 12 adjacent to a supply pipe 11 for gas or the like buried in the ground, so that water leaked from the water pipe 12 is removed. This is for preventing erosion of the pipe wall caused by hitting the pipe wall of the supply pipe 11 with soil near the buried supply pipe 11. That is, the pipe protection material 10
Is configured to be laid so as to surround the outer periphery of the water pipe 12 side.
A water pipe 12, an attenuation member 13 for attenuating the flow velocity of water ejected from a leak hole (described later) formed in the pipe wall;
And a diffusion member 14 for diffusing the leaked water. The damping member 13
Is designed to cover the leak hole h caused by corrosion or the like on the pipe wall of the water pipe 12 and to allow the leaking water to permeate with the high outflow resistance of the damping member 13 so as to suppress the jetting speed. The leak water at a speed suppressed by the damping member 13 is diffused over a wide range from the position of the leak hole h.

Here, specific examples of the pipe protection member 10 constituted by the damping member 13 and the diffusion member 14 are as follows. (1) Woven cloth (woven with synthetic resin fibers (or tape)), with synthetic resin cotton (felt) and non-woven fabric planted. (2) Perforated sheet with synthetic resin cotton (felt), non-woven fabric or woven fabric attached.

[0007] In the pipe protection member 10 constructed as described above, even if the water pipe 12 adjacent to the supply pipe 11 for gas or the like has a leak hole h due to corrosion or the like, the leak water is covered with a high outflow resistance covering the leak hole h. The jetting speed of the high-pressure leakage water is suppressed by the damping member 13 having a structure that allows the passage of water. When the leaked water having the suppressed ejection speed reaches the diffusion member 14 outside the damping member 13, the water is diffused in a wide range, so that the ejection water passing through the diffusion member 14 has a suppressed ejection speed. In addition, since the amount of jet per unit area is reduced, and the jet leaks in the state of a shower, the jet does not become a jet flow accompanied by surrounding earth and sand, and the generation of sandblast can be suppressed. In addition, since the pipe protection member 10 is merely installed so as to cover the surface of the water pipe 12, the installation is easy. In addition, the pipe protection material 10 is the damping member 1
Since the 3 and the diffusion member 14 have elasticity, even if the excavation machine, the tool, or the like is accidentally hit by excavation work or the like, it can be protected from damage.

[0008] The pipe protecting material according to the present invention can also be implemented as follows. That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the pipe protecting material 20 in this case, when weaving the synthetic resin fiber (or tape), the dense woven fabric 20a having a relatively dense weave and the sparse weave are used. It is configured in combination with the sparse cloth 20b, so that the flow velocity of the water ejected from the leak hole h can be attenuated and diffused over a wider area than the leak hole h.

Further, the pipe protecting material according to the present invention can be implemented as follows. That is, although not shown, a wire (others) is formed as a conductive member between a woven fabric (woven with synthetic resin fibers (or tape)) and synthetic resin cotton (felt), which constitutes a tube protection material. , A wire formed into a coil) is laid, and the wire is cut by expanding by the fluid pressure of the fluid ejected from a leak hole formed in the pipe wall of the fluid pumping pipe, thereby cutting the leaking portion of the fluid pumping pipe. A configuration for electrically detecting (disconnection detection, change in electric resistance value) may be employed. In addition, an optical cable may be laid in addition to the conductive member.

Further, the pipe protecting material according to the present invention can be implemented as follows. That is, in the pipe protecting material 30 in this case, a member having a large swelling degree is provided between the damping member 13 (felt or the like) and the diffusion member 14 (perforated film or the like).
For example, a water-absorbing polymer 31 is laminated, and a wire 32 (in addition, a coil-shaped wire) is interposed in the water-absorbing polymer 31 (see FIG. 5). Due to the occurrence of the leak hole h in the water pipe 12, the leaked water is swollen by absorbing the water-absorbing polymer 31 through the damping member 13, thereby giving stress to the wire 32 to make the wire 32 into a cut state. (See FIG. 6). In addition to the wires 32, an optical cable is also applicable.

[0011] With this configuration, it is possible to quickly grasp the leaking point of the fluid pressure feed pipe, perform a quick repair work, and more reliably prevent the occurrence of the sandblast phenomenon. .

[0012]

As described above, the pipe protection material of the present invention disperses and attenuates the jet flow of the high-pressure fluid leaked from the fluid pumping pipe only by laying it directly on the fluid pumping pipe which is the cause of the sandblast phenomenon. Thus, the occurrence of sandblast can be suppressed. In addition, since the pipe protection material is merely applied so as to cover the surface of the fluid pressure feeding pipe, the installation process is simplified. Further, since the pipe protecting material itself has elasticity, it is possible to protect the pipe protecting material from being damaged even when the excavating machine, the tool or the like is accidentally hit by excavation work or the like. If a conductive member or an optical cable is laid on the pipe protective material, the leak point of the fluid pressure pipe can be quickly identified, repair work can be performed promptly, and the occurrence of the sandblast phenomenon can be further reduced. Can be prevented.
