本実施の形態の電気融着継手1では、電熱線51は、絶縁皮膜72の周囲に設けられた外層部73を更に有する。外層部73は、ポリオレフィン系樹脂で形成されている。
本実施の形態の電気融着継手1では、絶縁皮膜72は、ポリイミド系樹脂で形成されている。
本実施の形態の電気融着継手1では、本体部2は、筒状部21と、ストッパ22と、を有する。筒状部21は、第1樹脂管11の外側に配置され第1樹脂管11と接続される第1接続部23(接続部の一例)を有する。筒状部21は、第2樹脂管12の外側に配置され第2樹脂管12と接続される第2接続部24(接続部の一例)を有する。ストッパ22は、筒状部21の表面から突出するように形成され、第1樹脂管11の管端11a(端の一例)の位置および第2樹脂管12の管端12a(端の一例)の位置を規制可能である。
本実施の形態の電気融着継手1では、第1接続部23の内側には、第1樹脂管11が挿入可能である。第2接続部24の内側には、第2樹脂管12が挿入可能である。ストッパ22は、筒状部21の内面21aに突出するように形成され、第1接続部23の内側に第1樹脂管11が挿入された際に挿入位置を規制可能であり、第2接続部24の内側に第2樹脂管12が挿入された際に挿入位置を規制可能である。
以上、本発明の一実施形態について説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。
上記実施の形態では、第1樹脂管11の管端11aと第2樹脂管12の管端12aをストッパ22に押圧しているが、押圧しなくてもよい。ただし、施工時間を短くできるため、押圧する方がより好ましい。
上記実施の形態では、ストッパ22は、筒状部21の内面21aから径方向内側に向かって突出するように形成されているが、これに限らなくても良い。例えば、図9に示すように、ストッパ22´が筒状部21´の外面から径方向外側に向かって突出するように形成された電気融着継手1´であってもよい。
上記実施の形態では、軸線方向Aに沿って視た場合、ストッパ22の外径は円形状であるが、円に限らなくても良く、一部が面取りされていても良いし、多角形状であってもよい。
上記実施の形態では、電気融着継手1、1´の流路はいずれも直線状に形成されているが、流路が曲がっているエルボ継手であってもよい。
上記実施の形態では、発熱部3、4、5の電熱線31、41、51に同じものを使用しているため、すべての電熱線31、41、51に絶縁皮膜72が設けられているが、これに限らなくてもよい。しかしながら、少なくとも電熱線51に絶縁皮膜72が設けられているほうが好ましい。これは、第1樹脂管11および第2樹脂管12によって加圧される場合があり、電熱線51同士が接触しやすいためである。
