 以下、本発明の第1実施形態を、図1~図9に基づいて説明する。図1に示すように、路面標示リング10は平面視円環状をなしており、図9に示すように舗装面S1に形成された環状溝部M1に嵌め込んで使用される。環状溝部M1は、例えば、後述する回転掘削工具によって舗装面S1を掘削したものであり、径方向の外側部分が内側部分に対して段付き状に浅くなった円筒形構造をなしている。
[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, the road marking ring 10 has an annular shape in plan view, and is used by being fitted into an annular groove M1 formed on the pavement surface S1 as shown in FIG. The annular groove M1 is formed by, for example, excavating the pavement surface S1 with a rotary excavating tool described later, and has a cylindrical structure in which the outer portion in the radial direction is shallower than the inner portion.
 路面標示リング10は、環状溝部M1に埋め込まれる埋設筒部30と、埋設筒部30の上端部に一体形成された膨出円弧部20とを備えている。また、膨出円弧部20は、後述する線状反射部材40と線状発光部材50とを備えており、それら線状反射部材40と線状発光部材50とを除いた膨出円弧部20の本体21と埋設筒部30とが一体成形されている(図8参照)。この一体成形品である路面標示リング10の本体11は、光触媒(例えば、酸化チタン)がコンパウンドされたエラストマ(例えば、軟質塩化ビニル樹脂)の成形品であって、例えば、白、橙、青、その他の鮮明色に着色されている。 The road marking ring 10 includes an embedded cylinder part 30 embedded in the annular groove part M1 and a bulging arc part 20 formed integrally with the upper end part of the embedded cylinder part 30. Further, the bulging arc portion 20 includes a linear reflecting member 40 and a linear light emitting member 50 which will be described later, and the bulging arc portion 20 excluding the linear reflecting member 40 and the linear light emitting member 50 is provided. The main body 21 and the embedded cylinder part 30 are integrally formed (see FIG. 8). A main body 11 of the road marking ring 10 which is an integrally molded product is a molded product of an elastomer (for example, a soft vinyl chloride resin) compounded with a photocatalyst (for example, titanium oxide), for example, white, orange, blue, It is colored in other vivid colors.
 埋設筒部30は、上記した環状溝部M1の内部形状と合致した形状をなしている。即ち、埋設筒部30は、環状溝部M1の深溝部分に嵌合する円筒部31と、円筒部31の上端外周面から側方に張り出して環状溝部M1の浅溝部分に嵌合する鍔部32とを有している。また、環状溝部M1への挿入作業を容易にするために、円筒部31の下端部は先細りの円錐形となっている。そして、路面標示リング10を環状溝部M1に嵌め込んだ場合に、鍔部32の上面と、舗装面S1とが略面一になるように構成されている。なお、筒状をなした埋設筒部30を環状溝部M1に埋め込んで設置するようにしたことで、舗装面S1に設置された路面標示リング10が外れ難くなる。また、環状溝部M1に深溝部分と浅溝部分とを設けて、それらに円筒部31と鍔部32とをそれぞれ嵌合させたことで、さらに路面標示リング10が外れ難くなる。 The embedded cylinder portion 30 has a shape that matches the internal shape of the annular groove portion M1 described above. That is, the embedded cylinder portion 30 includes a cylindrical portion 31 that fits in the deep groove portion of the annular groove portion M1, and a flange portion 32 that protrudes laterally from the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the cylindrical portion 31 and fits in the shallow groove portion of the annular groove portion M1. And have. Further, in order to facilitate the insertion operation into the annular groove M1, the lower end portion of the cylindrical portion 31 has a tapered conical shape. When the road marking ring 10 is fitted into the annular groove M1, the upper surface of the flange 32 and the pavement surface S1 are configured to be substantially flush with each other. In addition, it is difficult to remove the road marking ring 10 installed on the pavement surface S1 by installing the embedded cylindrical part 30 having a cylindrical shape in the annular groove M1. In addition, the deep groove portion and the shallow groove portion are provided in the annular groove portion M1, and the cylindrical portion 31 and the flange portion 32 are respectively fitted to the annular groove portion M1, thereby further preventing the road marking ring 10 from coming off.
 図2及び図3に示すように、埋設筒部30の外周面及び内周面には、それぞれ複数の線材保持溝33が形成されている。線材保持溝33は、埋設筒部30の軸方向に延びかつ下方に開放した断面円弧形の溝状をなしている。また、線材保持溝33は、埋設筒部30の下端部から上端部に向かうに従って徐々に浅くなるように構成されている。 2 and 3, a plurality of wire rod holding grooves 33 are formed on the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the embedded tube portion 30, respectively. The wire holding groove 33 has an arcuate cross-sectional shape that extends in the axial direction of the embedded cylinder portion 30 and opens downward. Further, the wire holding groove 33 is configured to gradually become shallower from the lower end portion of the embedded cylinder portion 30 toward the upper end portion.
 詳細には、埋設筒部30の外周面に形成された複数の線材保持溝33は、埋設筒部30の周方向で等間隔に配置されておりかつ、その中心軸が埋設筒部30の下端部から上端部に向かうに従って埋設筒部30の中心軸から離れるように傾斜している。 Specifically, the plurality of wire rod holding grooves 33 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the embedded tube portion 30 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the embedded tube portion 30, and the central axis thereof is the lower end of the embedded tube portion 30. It inclines so that it may leave | separate from the central axis of the embedded cylinder part 30 as it goes to an upper end part from a part.
 一方、埋設筒部30の内周面に形成された複数の線材保持溝33は、図2に示すように、外周面に形成された線材保持溝33に対して周方向にずらして配置されており、その中心軸が埋設筒部30の下端部から上端部に向かうに従って埋設筒部30の中心軸に近づくように傾斜している。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of wire holding grooves 33 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the embedded cylinder portion 30 are arranged so as to be shifted in the circumferential direction with respect to the wire holding grooves 33 formed on the outer peripheral surface. The central axis is inclined so as to approach the central axis of the embedded cylinder part 30 as it goes from the lower end part to the upper end part of the embedded cylinder part 30.
 これら線材保持溝33は、軸方向の少なくとも一部で断面が優弧又は円になっており、線材保持溝33の下端部から挿入された線状部材L1(図3及び図4参照)を保持することが可能となっている。線状部材L1は断面円形をなしており、その線状部材L1を線材保持溝33に装着すると、線状部材L1の外周面の一部が線材保持溝33からはみ出して埋設筒部30の外周面又は内周面から突出する。環状溝部M1と埋設筒部30との嵌合が緩くて路面標示リング10がガタつく場合に、埋設筒部30に線状部材L1を装着することで環状溝部M1と埋設筒部30とをフィットさせることができ、路面標示リング10のガタつきを無くすことができる。なお、線状部材L1はエラストマであることが好ましい。 These wire rod holding grooves 33 have a dominant arc or circle in at least part of the axial direction, and hold the linear member L1 inserted from the lower end of the wire rod holding groove 33 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). It is possible to do. The linear member L1 has a circular cross section, and when the linear member L1 is mounted in the wire rod holding groove 33, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the linear member L1 protrudes from the wire rod holding groove 33 and the outer periphery of the embedded cylinder portion 30. It protrudes from the surface or inner peripheral surface. When the fitting between the annular groove part M1 and the buried cylinder part 30 is loose and the road marking ring 10 is rattled, the annular groove part M1 and the buried cylinder part 30 are fitted by attaching the linear member L1 to the buried cylinder part 30. The backlash of the road marking ring 10 can be eliminated. The linear member L1 is preferably an elastomer.
 ここで、上述したように、線材保持溝33は、下端部から上端部に向かうに従って浅くなっているから、線状部材L1を装着した埋設筒部30を環状溝部M1に挿入する際に、線状部材L1の下端部が環状溝部M1の縁部に引っ掛からないようにすることができ、環状溝部M1に対する路面標示リング10の嵌め込み作業をスムーズに行うことができる。 Here, as described above, the wire holding groove 33 becomes shallower from the lower end portion toward the upper end portion. Therefore, when the embedded cylindrical portion 30 with the linear member L1 is inserted into the annular groove portion M1, the wire holding groove 33 is formed. It is possible to prevent the lower end portion of the shaped member L1 from being caught on the edge portion of the annular groove portion M1, and the fitting operation of the road marking ring 10 to the annular groove portion M1 can be performed smoothly.
 路面標示リング10のうち膨出円弧部20は、埋設筒部30の周方向に延びかつ周方向の一部に水抜き用の切欠部22(図1及び図9参照)を有した平面視C字形をなしている。また、図3に示すように、膨出円弧部20は埋設筒部30の径方向内側に張り出しており、路面標示リング10を環状溝部M1に嵌め込んだ状態では、図9に示すように、膨出円弧部20の下面が舗装面S1に重ね合わされて、膨出円弧部20の全体が舗装面S1より上方に膨出する。一方、切欠部22の上面は舗装面S1と概ね面一になって、膨出円弧部20の内側に入り込んだ雨水やゴミがスムーズに排出されるようになっている。 The bulging arc portion 20 of the road marking ring 10 extends in the circumferential direction of the embedded cylinder portion 30 and has a notch portion 22 for draining water (see FIGS. 1 and 9) in a part of the circumferential direction C. It has a letter shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the bulging arc portion 20 projects radially inward of the embedded cylinder portion 30, and in a state where the road marking ring 10 is fitted in the annular groove portion M1, as shown in FIG. The lower surface of the bulging arc portion 20 is superimposed on the pavement surface S1, and the entire bulging arc portion 20 bulges upward from the pavement surface S1. On the other hand, the upper surface of the notch 22 is substantially flush with the pavement surface S1, so that rainwater and dust entering the inside of the bulging arc portion 20 are smoothly discharged.
 図3に示すように、膨出円弧部20の断面は、なだらかな山形状(蒲鉾状)となっている。膨出円弧部20の山頂部分には、複数のブロック状突部23が形成されている。また、膨出円弧部20の外面のうち山頂から径方向の外側に向かって下り傾斜した外周面と、山頂から径方向の内側に向かって下り傾斜した内周面には、それぞれ再帰反射性を有する線状反射部24(図1参照)が設けられている。線状反射部24は、路面標示リング10の中心軸回りに約270度の範囲に亘って連続して延びている。 As shown in FIG. 3, the cross section of the bulging arc portion 20 has a gentle mountain shape (saddle shape). A plurality of block-shaped protrusions 23 are formed at the summit portion of the bulging arc portion 20. Further, the outer peripheral surface of the bulging arc portion 20 has a retroreflective property on the outer peripheral surface inclined downward from the summit toward the outer side in the radial direction and the inner peripheral surface inclined downward from the summit in the radial direction. The linear reflection part 24 (refer FIG. 1) which has is provided. The linear reflecting portion 24 continuously extends over a range of about 270 degrees around the central axis of the road marking ring 10.
 線状反射部24は、路面標示リング10の本体11とは別部品の線状反射部材40(図3参照)を、膨出円弧部20に形成された反射部材収容溝26に嵌め込んで構成されている。線状反射部材40は、断面円形をなしたエラストマの線材の外周面に、再帰反射性を有する反射テープ(本発明の「反射材」に相当する)を簀巻き状に巻き付けた構造をなしている。一方、反射部材収容溝26は、図6に示すように、断面円弧形の溝状をなしており、膨出円弧部20の外周面及び内周面に沿って湾曲して延びている(図7参照)。なお、線状反射部材40は接着剤によって固着してもよい。また、線状反射部材40の芯材としての線材と埋設筒部30に装着して使用される線状部材L1とを同一径とし、それらを共通の線状部品から切り分けて製作してもよい。 The linear reflecting portion 24 is configured by fitting a linear reflecting member 40 (see FIG. 3), which is a separate part from the main body 11 of the road marking ring 10, into a reflecting member accommodation groove 26 formed in the bulging arc portion 20. Has been. The linear reflecting member 40 has a structure in which a reflective tape having a retroreflective property (corresponding to the “reflecting material” of the present invention) is wound around the outer peripheral surface of an elastomer wire having a circular cross section in a winding shape. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the reflecting member accommodating groove 26 has a groove shape with an arcuate cross section, and extends in a curved manner along the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the bulging arc portion 20 ( (See FIG. 7). The linear reflecting member 40 may be fixed with an adhesive. Further, the wire as the core of the linear reflecting member 40 and the linear member L1 used by being mounted on the embedded cylinder portion 30 may have the same diameter, and may be manufactured by separating them from common linear parts. .
 図1に示すように、膨出円弧部20の外周面及び内周面には、蛍光性又は蓄光性を有する線状発光部25が備えられている。線状発光部25は、線状反射部24と並行して同心円弧状に延びている。また、線状発光部25は、膨出円弧部20の周方向において線状反射部24と同じ範囲、即ち、路面標示リング10の中心軸回りに約270度の範囲に亘って連続して延びている。 As shown in FIG. 1, a linear light emitting portion 25 having fluorescence or phosphorescence is provided on the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the bulging arc portion 20. The linear light emitting unit 25 extends in a concentric arc shape in parallel with the linear reflecting unit 24. Further, the linear light emitting portion 25 continuously extends over the same range as the linear reflecting portion 24 in the circumferential direction of the bulging arc portion 20, that is, about 270 degrees around the central axis of the road marking ring 10. ing.
 線状発光部25は、蛍光性又は蓄光性を有する発光剤を含有しかつ円弧状に成形された線状発光部材50(図3参照)を、膨出円弧部20(本体21)に形成された発光部材収容部27に嵌め込んで構成されている(図5参照)。なお、線状発光部材50は、例えば、エラストマで構成されている。 The linear light emitting portion 25 is formed by forming a linear light emitting member 50 (see FIG. 3) containing a fluorescent or phosphorescent light emitting agent and shaped in an arc shape on the bulging arc portion 20 (main body 21). The light emitting member accommodating portion 27 is fitted (see FIG. 5). The linear light emitting member 50 is made of, for example, an elastomer.
 図4に示すように、線状発光部材50は、反射部材収容溝26の上方に張り出して、線状反射部材40に重なっている。より詳細には、図6に示すように、線状発光部材50の上面は、線状発光部25を構成する傾斜面51となっている。線状発光部材50の下面のうち、反射部材収容溝26の上方に張り出した部分には、線状反射部材40の断面形状に対応した円弧状の凹曲面52が形成され、その凹曲面52に隣接して凹凸部53が形成されている。これら傾斜面51、凹曲面52及び凹凸部53は、線状発光部材50の全長に亘って連続している。 As shown in FIG. 4, the linear light emitting member 50 protrudes above the reflecting member housing groove 26 and overlaps the linear reflecting member 40. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper surface of the linear light emitting member 50 is an inclined surface 51 that constitutes the linear light emitting unit 25. An arc-shaped concave curved surface 52 corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the linear reflective member 40 is formed on a portion of the lower surface of the linear light emitting member 50 that protrudes above the reflective member housing groove 26. An uneven portion 53 is formed adjacently. The inclined surface 51, the concave curved surface 52, and the uneven portion 53 are continuous over the entire length of the linear light emitting member 50.
 一方、発光部材収容部27は、反射部材収容溝26よりも膨出円弧部20の山頂側に形成されており、反射部材収容溝26と並行して延びている(図7参照)。発光部材収容部27には、その全長に亘って凹凸部28が形成されており、その凹凸部28と線状発光部材50の凹凸部53とが凹凸係合している(図6参照)。反射部材収容溝26に収容された線状反射部材40に、線状発光部材50を重ねて配置したことで、線状反射部材40を反射部材収容溝26に対して抜け止めすることができる。また、線状反射部材40が車両や歩行者に直接踏まれないようにすることができるから、線状反射部材40の反射性能を長期間維持することができる。なお、線状発光部材50を接着剤によって固着或いは、膨出円弧部20の本体21と溶着(具体的には、振動溶着)してもよい。また、線状反射部24及び線状発光部25の長寿命化を図るために、それら線状反射部24及び線状発光部25を、膨出円弧部20と一体化した透明なエラストマ製の保護カバー(図示せず)で覆った構成にしてもよい。 On the other hand, the light emitting member accommodating portion 27 is formed on the peak side of the bulging arc portion 20 with respect to the reflecting member accommodating groove 26, and extends in parallel with the reflecting member accommodating groove 26 (see FIG. 7). The light emitting member accommodating portion 27 has an uneven portion 28 extending over the entire length thereof, and the uneven portion 28 and the uneven portion 53 of the linear light emitting member 50 are engaged with each other (see FIG. 6). By arranging the linear light emitting member 50 so as to overlap the linear reflecting member 40 accommodated in the reflecting member accommodating groove 26, the linear reflecting member 40 can be prevented from coming off from the reflecting member accommodating groove 26. Further, since the linear reflecting member 40 can be prevented from being stepped on directly by a vehicle or a pedestrian, the reflection performance of the linear reflecting member 40 can be maintained for a long period of time. The linear light emitting member 50 may be fixed by an adhesive or welded to the main body 21 of the bulging arc portion 20 (specifically, vibration welding). Further, in order to extend the life of the linear reflecting portion 24 and the linear light emitting portion 25, the linear reflecting portion 24 and the linear light emitting portion 25 are made of a transparent elastomer integrated with the bulging arc portion 20. You may make it the structure covered with the protective cover (not shown).
 本実施形態の構成は以上である。路面標示リング10を舗装面S1に設置する場合には、まず、回転掘削工具によって舗装面S1に環状溝部M1を形成する。次に、環状溝部M1の中の掘削屑を除去して、路面標示リング10を環状溝部M1に試し嵌めする。このとき、路面標示リング10が環状溝部M1内でガタつく場合には、埋設筒部30に線状部材L1を装着して埋設筒部30と環状溝部M1とをフィットさせる。また、環状溝部M1の浅溝部分が深過ぎて、膨出円弧部20がその浅溝部分に埋まってしまう場合には、浅溝部分と鍔部32との間に板状スペーサ60(図9参照)を挟んで、膨出円弧部20が舗装面S1の上方に膨出するように高さを調節する。 The configuration of the present embodiment is as described above. When the road marking ring 10 is installed on the pavement surface S1, first, an annular groove M1 is formed on the pavement surface S1 with a rotary excavation tool. Next, the excavation waste in the annular groove M1 is removed, and the road marking ring 10 is fitted into the annular groove M1 by trial. At this time, when the road surface marking ring 10 rattles in the annular groove portion M1, the linear member L1 is attached to the embedded tube portion 30 to fit the embedded tube portion 30 and the annular groove portion M1. Further, when the shallow groove portion of the annular groove portion M1 is too deep and the bulging arc portion 20 is buried in the shallow groove portion, a plate-like spacer 60 (see FIG. 9) is formed between the shallow groove portion and the flange portion 32. The height is adjusted so that the bulging arc portion 20 bulges above the pavement surface S1.
 次に、一旦、路面標示リング10を取り外し、路面標示リング10と環状溝部M1及び舗装面S1との間の隙間を間詰めするための充填剤を環状溝部M1に注入する。そして最後に、路面標示リング10を環状溝部M1に嵌め込む。このとき、切欠部22が舗装面S1の勾配の下側になるように配置する。例えば、坂道の舗装面S1では、切欠部22が坂下側になるように路面標示リング10を配置する。また、一般的な舗装道路には、排水のための横断勾配が設けられているから、切欠部22がその横断勾配の下側になるように路面標示リング10を配置する。以上で路面標示リング10の設置は完了である。 Next, the road marking ring 10 is once removed, and a filler for filling the gaps between the road marking ring 10 and the annular groove M1 and the pavement surface S1 is injected into the annular groove M1. Finally, the road marking ring 10 is fitted into the annular groove M1. At this time, it arrange | positions so that the notch part 22 may become the lower side of the gradient of pavement surface S1. For example, the road marking ring 10 is arranged so that the cutout portion 22 is on the downhill side on the pavement surface S1 of the slope. Further, since a general paved road is provided with a cross slope for drainage, the road marking ring 10 is arranged so that the notch 22 is below the cross slope. This completes the installation of the road marking ring 10.
 路面標示リング10を環状溝部M1に埋め込んで設置すると、膨出円弧部20が舗装面S1の上方に突出する。この膨出円弧部S1は、平面視C字形をなしており、その膨出円弧部S1で囲まれた中央部が凹所となるから(図9参照)、従来のブロック状をなした道路鋲のように滑ることはなく、むしろ、滑り止めに利用することができる。また、路面標示リング10は、筒状をなした埋設筒部30を舗装面S1に形成された環状溝部M1に埋め込んで設置されるから、舗装面S1に設置された路面標示リング10を外れ難くすることができる。また、路面標示リング10の本体11、線状反射部材40及び線状発光部材50は、エラストマで構成されているから繰り返し踏まれても破損し難く、仮に欠損したとしても、その欠損片が通行の支障になることはない。 When the road surface marking ring 10 is embedded in the annular groove portion M1, the bulging arc portion 20 protrudes above the pavement surface S1. The bulging arc portion S1 has a C-shape in plan view, and the central portion surrounded by the bulging arc portion S1 is a recess (see FIG. 9). However, it can be used to prevent slipping. Further, since the road marking ring 10 is installed by embedding the cylindrical buried cylinder 30 in the annular groove M1 formed on the pavement surface S1, it is difficult to remove the road marking ring 10 installed on the pavement surface S1. can do. Moreover, since the main body 11, the linear reflecting member 40, and the linear light emitting member 50 of the road marking ring 10 are made of elastomer, they are not easily damaged even if they are repeatedly stepped on. It will not be a hindrance.
 夜間又は暗所(トンネルや地下駐車場など)で路面標示リング10(膨出円弧部20)に対して光が照射されると、その光は線状反射部24によって再帰反射される。例えば、車両のヘッドライトが線状反射部24に照射された場合、その反射光を車両のドライバーが視認することができ、夜間や暗所でも路面標示リング10の視認性を確保することができる。また、線状反射部24は、膨出円弧部20の外周面及び内周面の両方に設けられて、その周方向に沿って円弧状に延びているから、膨出円弧部20の側方、上方、斜め上方などあらゆる方向からの光を再帰反射することが可能である。例えば、膨出円弧部20の外周面のうち、切欠部22の側方(図1における紙面下方)から光が照射された場合でも、膨出円弧部20の内周面に沿って設けられた線状反射部24によって光を再帰反射させることができるから、膨出円弧部20の周囲の全方向からの光を再帰反射することができる。これにより、路面標示リング10を、その周囲のあらゆる方向から視認することが可能になると共に、舗装面S1への設置に際して、光の入射方向を考慮した細かい角度調整の手間を省くことができる。 When light is irradiated to the road marking ring 10 (the bulging arc portion 20) at night or in a dark place (such as a tunnel or an underground parking lot), the light is retroreflected by the linear reflecting portion 24. For example, when the vehicle headlight is irradiated on the linear reflector 24, the vehicle driver can visually recognize the reflected light, and the visibility of the road marking ring 10 can be ensured even at night or in a dark place. . Moreover, since the linear reflection part 24 is provided in both the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the bulging circular arc part 20, and is extended in circular arc shape along the circumferential direction, the side of the bulging circular arc part 20 is provided. It is possible to retroreflect light from all directions such as upward and obliquely upward. For example, even when light is irradiated from the outer peripheral surface of the bulging arc portion 20 from the side of the cutout portion 22 (below the paper surface in FIG. 1), it is provided along the inner peripheral surface of the bulging arc portion 20. Since the light can be retroreflected by the linear reflecting portion 24, the light from all directions around the bulging arc portion 20 can be retroreflected. As a result, the road marking ring 10 can be visually recognized from all directions around the road marking ring 10 and, at the time of installation on the pavement surface S1, it is possible to save time and effort for fine angle adjustment in consideration of the incident direction of light.
 路面標示リング10に備えた線状発光部25が蛍光性を有するものであれば、線状発光部25に照射された光(紫外線、特にブラックライトの光が効果的である)によって線状発光部25を蛍光発光させることができ、特に、明け方や夕方の薄暗い時間帯、或いは、薄暗い場所における視認性を向上させることができる。また、線状発光部25が蓄光性を有するものであれば、太陽光や照明器具(例えば、蛍光灯、ブラックライトなど)の光(紫外線)のエネルギーを線状発光部25に蓄えて発光させることができ、夜間や急な停電時の暗闇においても、路面標示リング10の視認性を確保することができる。そして、線状発光部25は、膨出円弧部20の外周面及び内周面の両方に線状反射部24と平行に延びているから、線状反射部24と同様に、膨出円弧部20の周囲のあらゆる方向から線状発光部25の発光を視認することができる。これにより、夜間や暗所における路面標示リング10の視認性がより向上する。 If the linear light emitting part 25 provided in the road marking ring 10 has fluorescence, linear light emission is caused by light irradiated to the linear light emitting part 25 (ultraviolet rays, particularly black light is effective). The portion 25 can be made to emit fluorescent light, and in particular, visibility in a dim time zone at dawn or evening or in a dim place can be improved. Moreover, if the linear light emission part 25 has a luminous property, the energy of the light (ultraviolet light) of sunlight and a lighting fixture (for example, a fluorescent lamp, a black light) is stored in the linear light emission part 25, and it makes it light-emit. The visibility of the road marking ring 10 can be ensured even in the dark at night or during a sudden power failure. And since the linear light emission part 25 is extended in parallel with the linear reflection part 24 on both the outer peripheral surface and internal peripheral surface of the bulging circular arc part 20, similarly to the linear reflective part 24, the bulging circular arc part The light emission of the linear light emitting unit 25 can be visually recognized from all directions around 20. Thereby, the visibility of the road marking ring 10 at night or in a dark place is further improved.
 また、路面標示リング10の本体11は、白、橙、青、その他の鮮明色に着色されているから、昼間における路面標示リング10の視認性が向上すると共に、装飾性が向上する。また、路面標示リング10の本体11は、光触媒をコンパウンドしたエラストマで構成されているから、光触媒の防汚作用によって膨出円弧部20の表面に付着した汚れを分解したり、ぬめりを抑制することができる。また、タイヤとの摩擦等によって膨出円弧部20の表面が擦り減っても、内部から新たな光触媒が露出するので防汚作用を長期間に亘って持続させることができる。さらに、路面標示リング10の本体11は適度な靭性を有するから、タイヤの滑り止め効果に優れ、踏みつけたときの衝撃を緩和することができる。 Further, since the main body 11 of the road marking ring 10 is colored in white, orange, blue, or other clear colors, the visibility of the road marking ring 10 in the daytime is improved and the decorativeness is improved. Moreover, since the main body 11 of the road marking ring 10 is made of an elastomer compounded with a photocatalyst, the dirt attached to the surface of the bulging arc portion 20 is decomposed or suppressed by the antifouling action of the photocatalyst. Can do. Further, even if the surface of the bulging arc portion 20 is worn away by friction with the tire or the like, a new photocatalyst is exposed from the inside, so that the antifouling action can be maintained for a long time. Furthermore, since the main body 11 of the road marking ring 10 has appropriate toughness, it has an excellent anti-slip effect on the tire and can reduce the impact when stepped on.
 本実施形態の路面標示リング10を、例えば、道路のセンターライン、外側線、横断歩道、停止線、駐車場の区画線上に設けておけば、夜間や暗所において、それらの存在をドライバーに明示することができる。また、舗装面S1に膨出円弧部20による凹凸を形成することができるから、滑り止め効果だけでなく、振動によるドライバーへの注意喚起を行うことができる。 If the road marking ring 10 of the present embodiment is provided on, for example, a road center line, an outer line, a pedestrian crossing, a stop line, or a parking lot demarcation line, the presence thereof is clearly shown to the driver at night or in a dark place. can do. Moreover, since the unevenness | corrugation by the bulging circular arc part 20 can be formed in pavement surface S1, not only a slip prevention effect but alerting to the driver by vibration can be performed.

The outer bit 140 is formed by fixing a plurality of chips 142, 142 to an annular plate-shaped flange wall 141 (see FIG. 15) protruding to the side of the inner bit 120. The tips 142 and 142 protrude downward from the lower surface of the flange wall 141 near the outer edge, and are disposed above the tips 122 and 122 of the inner bit 120. Further, the tips 142 and 142 are made of the same material as the tips 122 and 122 provided in the inner bit 120, and the lower ends thereof are pointed, and are brazed or welded to the flange wall 141. Here, the chips 142 and 142 of the outer bit 140 and the chips 122 and 122 of the inner bit 120 are disposed adjacent to each other in the radial direction, and the chips 122 and 142 are disposed so as to partially overlap each other in the vertical direction. ing.
 上述したインナービット120及びアウタービット140は、仕様(材質や寸法)の異なる複数種類のものが備えられており、舗装材の材質や目的とする環状溝の設計寸法に応じて適宜取り替え可能となっている。また、チップ122,142が摩耗して掘削不能となった場合は、インナービット120又はアウタービット140だけを交換可能となっている。 The above-described inner bit 120 and outer bit 140 are provided with a plurality of types having different specifications (materials and dimensions) and can be appropriately replaced according to the material of the paving material and the design dimensions of the target annular groove. ing. Further, when the tips 122 and 142 are worn and cannot be excavated, only the inner bit 120 or the outer bit 140 can be replaced.
 ところで、図14に示すように、回転掘削工具110のうち、チューブ130は、上側から順に接続筒部131、中継筒部132、雌螺子筒部133を備えている。接続筒部131の内周面には雌螺子131Aが形成されており、ここに主軸195の下端部或いは、延長筒部111の螺子部113が螺合可能となっている。 Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 14, in the rotary excavation tool 110, the tube 130 includes a connection cylinder part 131, a relay cylinder part 132, and a female screw cylinder part 133 in order from the upper side. A female screw 131A is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the connecting tube portion 131, and the lower end portion of the main shaft 195 or the screw portion 113 of the extension tube portion 111 can be screwed therein.
 雌螺子筒部133は、中継筒部132の下端部に一体に設けられた扁平な円筒体の内周面に雌螺子133Aを形成してなる。この雌螺子筒部133に、インナービット120の上端部に備えた雄螺子筒部121が螺合されている。また、インナービット120の外周面のうち雄螺子筒部121の基端部に形成された段差部127と、チューブ130(雌螺子筒部133)の下端縁との間には、アウタービット140の鍔壁141内縁が挟持され、これにより、アウタービット140がインナービット120と一体回転可能に固定されている(図16を参照)。 The female screw cylinder part 133 is formed by forming a female screw 133A on the inner peripheral surface of a flat cylindrical body provided integrally with the lower end part of the relay cylinder part 132. A male screw cylinder 121 provided at the upper end of the inner bit 120 is screwed into the female screw cylinder 133. Further, between the stepped portion 127 formed at the proximal end portion of the male screw cylinder portion 121 on the outer peripheral surface of the inner bit 120 and the lower end edge of the tube 130 (female screw cylinder portion 133), The inner edge of the collar wall 141 is sandwiched, whereby the outer bit 140 is fixed so as to be rotatable together with the inner bit 120 (see FIG. 16).
 なお、掘削時には回転掘削工具110(主軸195)が、雄螺子筒部121と雌螺子筒部133とを締め付ける方向(上方から見たときに時計回り方向)に回転するので、掘削の過程で雄螺子筒部121と雌螺子筒部133との螺合状態が緩んでアウタービット140が外れることはない。 During excavation, the rotary excavation tool 110 (main shaft 195) rotates in the direction in which the male screw cylinder portion 121 and the female screw cylinder portion 133 are tightened (clockwise when viewed from above). The outer bit 140 does not come off because the screwed state between the screw cylinder 121 and the female screw cylinder 133 is loosened.
 図14に示すように、中継筒部132は、接続筒部131から雌螺子筒部133に向かうに従って、換言すれば、回転掘削工具110の軸方向で互いに離された接続筒部131の下端開口からインナービット120の上端開口に向かうに従って徐々に拡径したテーパー筒(円錐筒)形状をなしている。そして、中継筒部132の内面132Aは滑らかな円錐曲面となっており、回転掘削工具110の軸線に対する内面132Aの傾斜角度θは、例えば、約40度となっている。 As shown in FIG. 14, the relay tube portion 132 moves from the connection tube portion 131 toward the female screw tube portion 133, in other words, the lower end opening of the connection tube portion 131 that is separated from each other in the axial direction of the rotary excavation tool 110. The taper tube (conical tube) shape gradually increases in diameter toward the upper end opening of the inner bit 120. The inner surface 132A of the relay cylinder portion 132 is a smooth conical curved surface, and the inclination angle θ of the inner surface 132A with respect to the axis of the rotary excavation tool 110 is, for example, about 40 degrees.
 次に、回転掘削工具110を使用した路面掘削工法について説明する。まずは、回転掘削工具110を舗装面S1から離した状態で駆動源198を起動し、回転掘削工具110を高速回転させる。その状態でハンドル189を操作して可動ベース192を降下させ、回転掘削工具110を舗装面S1に対して直角に押し付ける。すると、インナービット120の下端部に備えたチップ122によって舗装面S1が掘削される。回転掘削工具110をさらに降下させていくと環状溝が徐々に深くなり、所定の深さに達すると、回転状態のアウタービット140が舗装面S1に押し付けられて、インナービット120によって掘削された環状溝の外周縁が掘削される。即ち、最初は、インナービット120だけで掘削が行われ、インナービット120が所定の深さまで掘り進んだところで、インナービット120とアウタービット140との両方で掘削が行われる。 Next, the road excavation method using the rotary excavation tool 110 will be described. First, the drive source 198 is activated in a state where the rotary excavation tool 110 is separated from the pavement surface S1, and the rotary excavation tool 110 is rotated at a high speed. In this state, the handle 189 is operated to lower the movable base 192, and the rotary excavation tool 110 is pressed perpendicularly to the pavement surface S1. Then, the pavement surface S1 is excavated by the tip 122 provided at the lower end portion of the inner bit 120. When the rotary excavating tool 110 is further lowered, the annular groove gradually becomes deeper. When the predetermined depth is reached, the outer bit 140 in a rotating state is pressed against the pavement surface S1, and the annular bit excavated by the inner bit 120 is obtained. The outer periphery of the groove is excavated. That is, at first, excavation is performed only by the inner bit 120, and excavation is performed by both the inner bit 120 and the outer bit 140 when the inner bit 120 has been dug to a predetermined depth.
 所定の深さまで掘削したら駆動源198を停止し、ハンドル189の操作により回転掘削工具110を引き上げる。これにより、図9に示すように上端部が段付き状に径方向外側に幅広となった(換言すれば、径方向の外側部分が内側部分に対して段付き状に浅くなった)環状溝部M1が、回転掘削工具110を付け替えることなく一度で形成される。 When excavating to a predetermined depth, the drive source 198 is stopped, and the rotary excavation tool 110 is pulled up by operating the handle 189. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper end portion is stepped and widened radially outward (in other words, the radially outer portion is shallower than the inner portion). M1 is formed at a time without changing the rotary excavation tool 110.
 ところで、路面掘削装置200のロータリージョイント196に吸引装置210を接続し、吸引装置210を作動させながら舗装面S1の掘削を行うと、図16に示すように、インナービット120の掘削部位から粉塵が吸引され、主軸195の内側を通って路面掘削装置200の外部に排出される。回転掘削工具110の内部では、吸い上げられた粉塵が中継筒部132の円錐曲面をなした内面132Aに案内されて接続筒部131の下端開口にスムーズに流れ込み、主軸195の内部を通って吸引装置210に回収される。また、回転掘削工具110の内側を吸引することにより、回転掘削工具110の外側の空気が、インナービット120の内外両側面と環状溝との隙間及び、インナービット120の下端部の隣り合ったチップ122,122の間を通って回転掘削工具110の内側に流入する。この空気の流れによりチップ122,122が冷却される。 By the way, when the suction device 210 is connected to the rotary joint 196 of the road surface excavator 200 and the pavement surface S1 is excavated while the suction device 210 is operated, dust is generated from the excavation site of the inner bit 120 as shown in FIG. The air is sucked and discharged to the outside of the road surface excavator 200 through the inside of the main shaft 195. Inside the rotary excavation tool 110, the sucked dust is guided to the inner surface 132A having a conical curved surface of the relay cylinder part 132 and smoothly flows into the lower end opening of the connection cylinder part 131, and passes through the main shaft 195 to be a suction device. Recovered at 210. Further, by sucking the inside of the rotary excavation tool 110, the air outside the rotary excavation tool 110 causes the gap between the inner and outer side surfaces of the inner bit 120 and the annular groove and the adjacent tips at the lower end of the inner bit 120. It flows between 122 and 122 and flows into the inside of the rotary excavation tool 110. The chips 122 and 122 are cooled by this air flow.
 一方、ロータリージョイント196に給水装置220を接続し、給水装置220を作動させながら舗装面S1の掘削を行うと、図17に示すように、主軸195及び延長筒部111の内側を通って回転掘削工具110内に冷却水が流れ込む。このとき冷却水の一部は、主軸195、延長筒部111及び接続筒部131の内面を伝い、さらに、接続筒部131の下端開口から中継筒部132の内面132Aを伝う。そして、回転掘削工具110の回転による遠心力によって径方向の外側に向かって流動し、インナービット120の内面を伝って掘削部位に到達する。或いは、中継筒部132の内面132Aを伝う途中で掘削部位に向かって飛散する。掘削部位に到達した冷却水は、インナービット120の隣り合ったチップ122,122同士の間に入り込んで、チップ122,122を冷却する共に掘削部位を潤滑する。 On the other hand, when the water supply device 220 is connected to the rotary joint 196 and the pavement surface S1 is excavated while the water supply device 220 is operated, as shown in FIG. Cooling water flows into the tool 110. At this time, a part of the cooling water travels along the inner surface of the main shaft 195, the extension tube portion 111 and the connection tube portion 131, and further travels along the inner surface 132 </ b> A of the relay tube portion 132 from the lower end opening of the connection tube portion 131. Then, it flows toward the outside in the radial direction by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotary excavation tool 110, and reaches the excavation site along the inner surface of the inner bit 120. Alternatively, it is scattered toward the excavation site on the way along the inner surface 132A of the relay cylinder part 132. The cooling water that has reached the excavation site enters between adjacent chips 122, 122 of the inner bit 120 to cool the chips 122, 122 and lubricate the excavation site.
 この回転掘削工具110によれば、接続筒部131を通じて吸引を行った場合に、粉塵が接続筒部131の下端開口にスムーズに流入するので、粉塵を従来より効率よく除去することができる。一方、接続筒部131を通じて回転掘削工具110内に冷却水を流し込んだ場合には、冷却水が回転掘削工具110の内面を伝うか、飛散して掘削部位に向かうので、チップ122,122を効果的に冷却することができる。 According to this rotary excavation tool 110, when suction is performed through the connecting tube portion 131, the dust smoothly flows into the lower end opening of the connecting tube portion 131, so that the dust can be removed more efficiently than before. On the other hand, when the cooling water is poured into the rotary excavation tool 110 through the connection cylinder 131, the cooling water travels on the inner surface of the rotary excavation tool 110 or scatters and travels toward the excavation site. Can be cooled.

 (9)上記第1及び第2実施形態では、路面標示リング10の本体11を構成するエラストマに光触媒がコンパウンドされていたが、例えば、路面標示リング10の本体11が汚れの目立ち難い色(例えば、黒や灰色)であったり、ぬめりの発生し難い場所に設置される場合には、光触媒をコンパウンドしたものでなくてもよい。 (9) In the first and second embodiments, the photocatalyst is compounded with the elastomer constituting the main body 11 of the road marking ring 10, but for example, the main body 11 of the road marking ring 10 has a color that is not easily noticeable (for example, , Black or gray) or in a place where sliminess is unlikely to occur, the photocatalyst may not be compounded.
 (10)路面標示リング10の埋設筒部30は、環状溝部M1の施工上、円形であることが好ましいが、膨出円弧部20はその平面視が、円(真円)の周方向の一部を切り欠いたC字形でなくてもよく、例えば、楕円や長円、卵形の周方向の一部を切り欠いたC字形(馬蹄形)であってもよい。 (10) The embedded cylindrical portion 30 of the road marking ring 10 is preferably circular in terms of the construction of the annular groove portion M1, but the bulging arc portion 20 has a plan view in the circumferential direction of a circle (perfect circle).

The main body 11 of the road marking ring 10 may be formed by If it does in this way, the whole surface of the bulging circular arc part 20 can be made to shine, and the visibility at night will improve more.
 (14)上記第2実施形態では、膨出円弧部20の内周面と外周面の両方に複数の板状反射部材45(本発明の「光反射部」に相当する)が備えられていたが、内周面と外周面の何れか一方だけに複数の板状反射部材45を設けた構成にしてもよい。 (14) In the second embodiment, a plurality of plate-like reflecting members 45 (corresponding to “light reflecting portions” of the present invention) are provided on both the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the bulging arc portion 20. However, you may make it the structure which provided the several plate-shaped reflection member 45 only in any one of an internal peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface.
 (15)回転掘削工具110の変形例として、例えば、図18に示すように、チューブ130のうち中継筒部132を、接続筒部131から下方に向かう途中で内側に弓なりに反りつつ拡径したラッパ筒状としてもよい。また、図19に示すように、中継筒部132を、接続筒部131から下方に向かう途中で外側に弓なりに反りつつ拡径したドーム筒状としてもよい。 (15) As a modified example of the rotary excavation tool 110, for example, as shown in FIG. 18, the diameter of the relay cylinder portion 132 of the tube 130 is expanded while bowing inward on the way from the connection cylinder portion 131 downward. It is good also as a trumpet shape. Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the relay cylinder part 132 may be formed in a dome cylinder shape whose diameter is increased while being bowed outwardly in the middle from the connection cylinder part 131.
 (16)回転掘削工具110の変形例として、例えば、図20に示すように、インナービット120の下端部のうち、周方向で隣り合ったチップ122,122同士の間に、下方に開放した(上方に向かって凹んだ)半円形の切り欠き部126を設けてもよい。この切り欠き部126を有したインナービット120は、粉塵を吸引しつつ掘削を行う乾式工法のときに使用することも可能であるが、湿式工法のときに使用すると以下のような効果を奏する。即ち、チップ122,122が摩耗して小さくなった場合にも、冷却水が切り欠き部126に入り込むことで、チップ122の冷却及び掘削部位の潤滑を行うことができる。これにより、チップ122,122の摩耗による掘削性能の低下を抑えることができる。ここで、切り欠き部126は、図20の如く全てのチップ122,122間に設けてもよいし、一部のチップ122,122間だけに設けてもよい。 (16) As a modified example of the rotary excavation tool 110, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, among the lower ends of the inner bit 120, the tips 122, 122 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are opened downward ( A semicircular cutout 126 may be provided that is recessed upward. The inner bit 120 having the notch 126 can be used in a dry construction method in which excavation is performed while sucking dust, but has the following effects when used in a wet construction method. That is, even when the tips 122 and 122 are worn down and become smaller, the cooling water enters the cutout portion 126 so that the tip 122 can be cooled and the excavation site lubricated. Thereby, the fall of excavation performance by abrasion of the chip | tips 122 and 122 can be suppressed. Here, the notch 126 may be provided between all the chips 122 and 122 as shown in FIG. 20 or may be provided only between some of the chips 122 and 122.
 また、切り欠き部126を有するインナービット120を湿式工法専用とし、切り欠き部126を有さないインナービット120を乾式工法専用とした場合には、切り欠き部126の有無によって、そのインナービット120が湿式工法専用か否かを容易に見分けることができる。 Further, when the inner bit 120 having the notch 126 is dedicated to the wet method and the inner bit 120 not having the notch 126 is dedicated to the dry method, the inner bit 120 is determined depending on the presence or absence of the notch 126. Can be easily discriminated whether or not is dedicated to the wet method.
 (17)回転掘削工具110のうちインナービット120の内壁面に、インナービット120の回転方向の前方に向かうに従って下るような螺旋状の突条或いは溝を設けてもよい。このようにすれば、回転掘削工具110の回転により、インナービット120の内面と環状溝部M1の壁面との間で、粉塵を上方(舗装面S1)に向けて送り出すことができる。 (17) On the inner wall surface of the inner bit 120 of the rotary excavation tool 110, a spiral protrusion or groove that descends toward the front in the rotational direction of the inner bit 120 may be provided. If it does in this way, with rotation of rotary excavation tool 110, dust can be sent out upwards (paving surface S1) between the inner surface of inner bit 120 and the wall surface of annular groove M1.
 [参考例]
 図21及び図22には、本発明の技術的範囲には含まれないが、本発明と同等の効果を奏する参考例としての路面標示リング100が示されている。この路面標示リング100は、前記第1実施形態の路面標示リング10から、線状反射部24(線状反射部材40)及び線状発光部25(線状発光部材50)を排除したものであり、その他の構成は前記第1実施形態の路面標示リング10と同じである。この路面標示リング100は、舗装面S1の環状溝部M1に嵌め込んで設置したときに、平面視C字状の膨出円弧部20が舗装面S1の上方に突出して、その膨出円弧部20で囲まれた中央部が凹所となるから、従来のブロック状をなした道路鋲のように滑ることはなく、むしろ、滑り止めに利用することができる。ところで、本参考例の路面標示リング100を、顔料によって白、橙、青など鮮明色に着色すれば、昼間における視認性が向上するものの、汚れが目立ち易くなるという問題が生じ得る。これに対し、光触媒がコンパウンドされたエラストマで路面標示リング100を成形すると、光触媒を添加しなかったものに比べて、汚れやぬめりの発生を防止することができ、長期間に亘って路面標示リング100をきれいな状態に保つことができる。具体的には、軟質塩化ビニル樹脂に対して、0.5~5重量%の酸化チタンをコンパウンドして成形した路面標示リング100は、酸化チタンが含まれていない路面標示リング100よりも汚れが付着し難く、酸化チタンの増加に伴って防汚作用が大きくなることが、実地試験により確認された。また、蛍光顔料又は蓄光顔料がコンパウンドされたエラストマで路面標示リング100を成形すれば、膨出円弧部20の表面全体を光らせることができ、夜間における視認性がより向上する。

The road marking ring 100 is obtained by removing the linear reflecting portion 24 (linear reflecting member 40) and the linear light emitting portion 25 (linear light emitting member 50) from the road marking ring 10 of the first embodiment. The other configuration is the same as the road marking ring 10 of the first embodiment. When the road marking ring 100 is installed by being fitted into the annular groove M1 of the pavement surface S1, the C-shaped bulge arc portion 20 in plan view protrudes above the pavement surface S1, and the bulge arc portion 20 Since the central part surrounded by is a recess, it does not slide like a conventional road-shaped road fence, but rather can be used for slip prevention. By the way, if the road marking ring 100 of the present reference example is colored in a clear color such as white, orange, and blue with a pigment, the visibility in the daytime is improved, but there is a problem that dirt is easily noticeable. On the other hand, when the road marking ring 100 is molded with an elastomer compounded with a photocatalyst, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of dirt and slime compared to the case where no photocatalyst is added, and the road marking ring is used over a long period of time. 100 can be kept clean. Specifically, the road marking ring 100 formed by compounding 0.5 to 5% by weight of titanium oxide with respect to soft vinyl chloride resin is more soiled than the road marking ring 100 not containing titanium oxide. It was difficult to adhere, and it was confirmed by a field test that the antifouling action increased with the increase in titanium oxide. Moreover, if the road marking ring 100 is formed with an elastomer compounded with a fluorescent pigment or a phosphorescent pigment, the entire surface of the bulging arc portion 20 can be illuminated, and visibility at night is further improved.
