The coupler body 10 has a hollow 11 formed along the longitudinal direction at a position for inserting a pipe P for connection, and the pipe P is inserted into the front of the hollow 11, and the pipe It is a configuration that communicates with (P).

In one embodiment of the present invention, the coupler body 10 is a straight line, and the pipe P is inserted in the direction of both ends of the hollow 11. However, it is manufactured in various shapes such as a T-shape, a cross shape, etc. can be

A first stopper fixing groove 12 for fixing the first stopper member 60 is formed in the center portion of the coupler body 10, and the second stopper member 70 is hooked and supported at the upper end of the second stopper member. The stopper engaging projection 13 and the closing cap stopping projection 14 having a shape that can be supported by the end of the closing cap 80 is formed.

On the other hand, the upper end of the coupler body 10 is bent inwardly in a state where all other components of the present invention are built into the hollow 11 of the coupler body 10, and the closing cap is formed by forming a bent fixing part 15 It is configured to be able to fix the closing cap 80 between the locking jaw 14 and the bent fixing part 15 .

The grip ring 20 is fixed to the hollow 11 of the coupler body 10, and the pipe P can be inserted into the inside, but the pipe P is held so that the inserted pipe P is not separated. In one embodiment of the present invention as a fixing configuration, for more reliable fixing of the pipe (P), the first and second grip rings (20a, 20b) are used to overlap each other with the spaced O-ring (20c) interposed therebetween. exemplified.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the grip ring 20 is fixed to the hollow 11 of the coupler body 10 at a position between the barnacle cap 80 and the second stopper member 70, and the pipe A ring-shaped ring portion through which (P) passes, and a plurality of radial pieces arranged to be inclined in a direction in which the inner diameter becomes smaller toward the rear of the ring portion so that the insertion of the pipe (P) is possible but the forward departure is prevented. provided

4 shows a state in which the pipe P is inserted into the coupler body 10. A plurality of radiating pieces inclined in a direction in which the inner diameter decreases toward the rear of the ring portion of the grip ring 20 is shown. Due to the configuration, when the pipe (P) is inserted, the radiation piece is bent backwards so that the insertion is smooth, but the forward departure is prevented, so that the pipe (P) can be fastened and fixed to the coupler body 10 with one touch. .

The first packing member 30 is made of a material having a certain elasticity in a configuration to maintain watertight or airtightness between the front end of the pipe P and the rear end in the hollow 11 of the coupler body 10 . Ancillary is supported.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the first packing member 30 has a fluid passage hole 31 , a pipe contact surface 32 , a sliding sill 33 , an elastic concave groove 34 , and an elastic inclined surface 35 . this is formed

The fluid passage hole 31 is formed through front and rear so that the fluid can pass through the center of the first packing member 30 .

As shown in FIG. 5, the front end of the pipe (P) is in contact with the pipe contacting surface (32), and the first packing member (30) is compressed to a certain extent by elasticity, and watertight or airtight is maintained therebetween. will become

The slipping bump 33 is at the front end of the first packing member 30 so that the front end of the pipe (P) can be caught on the outer circumferential surface of the front end of the pipe (P) in a state in which the front end is in contact with the pipe contact surface (32). It is configured to protrude forward from the outside of the pipe contact surface 32 .

That is, when a vacuum pressure is formed inside the pipe (P), if there is no sliding sill 33, the first packing member 30 is pushed inward by the vacuum pressure, and the diameter of the fluid passage hole 31 There is a fear that the flow of the fluid becomes narrower due to the narrowing, but the diameter of the fluid passage hole 31 can be maintained because the first packing member 30 is not pushed inward due to the configuration of the sliding sill 33 . .

The elastic concave groove 34 has a configuration that is dug to a predetermined depth in the center of the rear surface in contact with the first stopper member 60 of the first packing member 30, and the rear end of the first packing member 30 and the first stopper Not only can the sealing between the members 60 be more reliable, but the elastic compression of the first packing member 30 by the external force inserted into the pipe P becomes easier.

The elastic inclined surface 35 is configured to be inclined in the rear outward direction on the inner surface of the first packing member 30, and by the configuration of the elastic inclined surface 35, the pipe P is inserted by an external force. As well as making the elastic compression of the first packing member 30 easier, as well as the role of the slip barrier 33, even when a vacuum pressure is formed inside the pipe (P), it is formed to be inclined in the rear outward direction on the inner surface. Thus, the diameter of the fluid passage hole 31 is not narrowed.

The second packing member 40 is made of a material having a certain elasticity and is inserted into the hollow 11 of the coupler body 10 from the front of the first packing member 30. An elastic pressing means 50 to be described later ) and is configured to seal the gap between the inner circumferential surface of the coupler body 10 and the outer circumferential surface of the pipe (P).

That is, between the pipe (P) and the coupler body (10) is primarily sealed by the first packing member (30), even if the sealing by the first packing member (30) is not perfect, the It is configured to maintain a sealing force between the pipe (P) and the coupler body (10) by the second packing member (40).

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second packing member 40 is composed of a combination of a front packing unit 40a and a rear packing unit 40b that are stacked before and after the contact portions are in contact with each other, and the pipe sealing hole 41 and , the inclined tapered surface 42 and the adhesion wrinkle 43 are formed.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the inclined tapered surface 42 is formed in the contact portion of the front packing unit 40a as shown in FIG. 6, and the inclination of the inclined tapered surface 42 is the front packing unit ( When the 40a) and the rear packing unit 40b are mutually compressed, the front packing unit 40a is formed to be inclined in a direction in which the tube is expanded.

If the inclination of the inclined tapered surface 42 is formed in the direction in which the front packing unit 40a is axially formed, the front packing unit 40a is in friction with the pipe P when the pipe P is inserted. Since there is a risk of interfering with the insertion of the pipe (P) by being moved backward by the axial pipe, the inclination of the inclined tapered surface 42 is preferably formed to be inclined in the direction in which the front packing unit 40a is expanded.

On the other hand, the rear packing unit (40b) is configured in the form of an O-ring having a circular cross section in an embodiment of the present invention, and a taper corresponding to the inclined tapered surface (42) on the contact surface in contact with the front packing unit (40a) It will be said that it may be configured to form a surface.

The contact corrugations 43 form irregularities at regular intervals on the outer circumferential surface of the front packing unit 40a in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the coupler body 10, so that the outer circumferential surface of the front packing unit 40a and the coupler body 10 It is a configuration that enables more reliable sealing between the inner peripheral surfaces of the

The elastic pressing means 50 is configured to elastically press the second packing member 40 in the direction in which the second packing member 40 is compressed, and the second packing member ( 40) is compressed and it is possible to seal the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the coupler body 10 and the outer peripheral surface of the pipe (P).
