Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はプラスチックパイプの接合方法及び装置に係り、特に繊維強化プラスチックパイプを接着又は圧入によることなく接合することができるプラスチックパイプの接合方法及び装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
繊維強化プラスチックパイプは、建築用ラーメン構造や回転機械の繊維強化軸等に用いられている。繊維強化プラスチックパイプは、複数のものを接合して長尺にして用いられる。また、回転機械の回転軸に繊維強化プラスチックパイプを使用する場合には、軸と継手とを接合したり、軸相互を接合することが行われている。
繊維強化プラスチックパイプを接合する場合には、接着によって接合するか、圧入によって接合することが行われている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、繊維強化プラスチックパイプを接着によって接合する場合には、接合の信頼性が低く、伝達荷重や伝達トルクが小さいという問題点があった。また、接合作業の後に使用するまでに接着剤の硬化時間を必要とするか、あるいは加熱硬化が必要となり、作業性が良くないという問題点があった。
【0004】
また、繊維強化プラスチックパイプを圧入によって接合する場合には、高荷重が必要なため、工事等大きな加圧装置での施工が必要であるという問題点があった。
【0005】
本発明は上述の事情に鑑みなされたもので、プラスチックパイプを接着や圧入によることなく接合することができ、接合部の安定した強度を確保することができるとともに簡易に接合することができるプラスチックパイプの接合方法及び装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上述した目的を達成するため、本発明のプラスチックパイプの接合方法の第1の態様は、プラスチックパイプの両端を閉塞し、該プラスチックパイプ内を真空ポンプにより減圧し、この減圧により収縮したプラスチックパイプの端部を、該プラスチックパイプの端部を閉塞する閉止板とともにジョイント部に挿入し、該プラスチックパイプ内を大気圧に戻すことにより、閉止板をジョイント部内に残した状態でプラスチックパイプとジョイント部とを接合することを特徴とするものである。
【0007】
本発明のプラスチックパイプの接合方法の第2の態様は、プラスチックパイプに、スリットを有するとともに内面に雌ねじ部を形成した縮径可能なジョイント部を挿入し、該ジョイント部の雌ねじ部に外周部に雄ねじを有する固定部材を螺合し、前記ジョイント部の挿入部を拡径することによりプラスチックパイプとジョイント部を接合することを特徴とするものである。
【0008】
本発明のプラスチックパイプとジョイント部は、第1の態様及び第2の態様のプラスチックパイプの接合方法により接合されたものである。
また、本発明のプラスチックパイプの接合装置は、プラスチックパイプの両端を閉塞する閉止板と、該閉止板の一端に接続され前記プラスチックパイプの内部を減圧する真空ポンプと、前記プラスチックパイプを減圧した状態でこの減圧により収縮したプラスチックパイプの端部を、該プラスチックパイプの端部を閉塞する閉止板とともにジョイント部に挿入した後にプラスチックパイプ内を大気圧に戻すことにより閉止板をジョイント部内に残した状態でプラスチックパイプとジョイント部とを接合するための真空弁とを備えたことを特徴とするものである。
【0009】
本発明の第1の態様によれば、プラスチックパイプ両端に閉止板を取付け、閉止板の片側より真空ポンプでパイプ内面を減圧する。減圧することでパイプの外径が収縮する。収縮したパイプ外径と同一寸法にしたジョイント部内径にパイプ端部を挿入後、真空弁を開放してパイプ内面を大気圧とする。パイプ外径は膨張しようとするため、パイプ外面とジョイント内面が接触してジョイント部分内径に反力が働き、摩擦係数×反力にて荷重伝達が可能となる。なお、接合部分の取り外しはパイプ内面を減圧することで容易に行うことができる。
【0010】
本発明によれば、工場での接合の必要がなく、減圧量で定量的に接合部の強度を設定することができる。さらに接合部の端部に溝あるいはテーパを形成することにより、大きな軸方向荷重に耐えることができ、さらに周方向にスプライン溝を付けることで大きなねじり荷重に耐えることができる。
【0011】
本発明の第2の態様によれば、プラスチックパイプの端部に、内面に雌ねじを有するとともに中心軸方向にスリットを形成した円筒状のジョイント部を打ち込む。このとき、ジョイント部はスリットにより縮径するため、ジョイント部はプラスチックパイプの端部に容易に挿入できる。この状態で、ジョイント部に、外周部に雄ねじを有する固定部材をねじ込む。これにより、ジョイント部の挿入部は拡径するため、プラスチックパイプの内径を広げ、プラスチックパイプとジョイント部とを接合することができる。パイプ内径は収縮しようとするため、パイプ内面とジョイント部の外面が接触してジョイント部の外径に圧力が働き、摩擦係数×圧力にて荷重伝達が可能となる。
【0012】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の第1の態様におけるプラスチックパイプの接合方法及び装置の実施例を図1乃至図6を参照して説明する。
【0013】
図1はプラスチックパイプの接合装置を示す概略図である。プラスチックパイプの接合装置は、繊維強化プラスチックパイプ1の両端を閉塞するパッキン2a,2aを有した閉止板2,2と、閉止板2の一端に接続され繊維強化プラスチックパイプ1の内部を減圧する真空ポンプ3と、繊維強化プラスチックパイプ1の内部を大気圧に戻す真空弁4とから構成されている。
【0014】
次に、上記装置を使用した繊維強化プラスチックパイプの接合方法を図1及び図2を参照して説明する。
まず、図1に示すように繊維強化プラスチックパイプ1の両端を閉止板2,2によって閉塞する。次に、真空ポンプ3を作動させて繊維強化プラスチックパイプ1の内部を減圧することによりパイプ外径を収縮させる。そして、図2に示すように収縮したプラスチックパイプ1の外径と略同一寸法の内径を有するジョイント部材5を用意し、ジョイント部材5にプラスチックパイプ1の端部を挿入する。
【0015】
次に、真空弁4を開放してプラスチックパイプ1内を大気圧に戻す。これによりプラスチックパイプ1の外径は膨張しようとするため、プラスチックパイプ1とジョイント部材5の内面が緊密に接触してジョイント部分内径に反力(F)が働き、摩擦係数(μ)×反力(F)にて荷重伝達が可能となる。
【0016】
図3は本発明の第2実施例を示す図であり、図3(a)はプラスチックパイプの接合部の断面図、図3(b)は図3(a)のA部詳細を示す図である。本実施例においては、ジョイント部材5には環状溝5aが形成されている。プラスチックパイプ1は図1に示すものと同様である。なお、プラスチックパイプ1の両端部にある閉止板は図示されていない。
【0017】
本実施例によれば、図1に示すようにプラスチックパイプ1の内部を減圧することにより、収縮したプラスチックパイプ1の端部をジョイント部材5に挿入した後に、プラスチックパイプ1内を大気圧に戻すと、プラスチックパイプ1が外方に広がって環状溝5a内にふくらむ。この結果、図3(b)に示すようにジョイント部材5の環状溝5aのエッジ部5eにプラスチックパイプ1のふくらんだ部分が係合し、軸方向の大きな荷重に耐えることができる。
【0018】
図4は本発明の第3実施例を示す断面図である。本実施例においては、プラスチックパイプ1の端部に環状突起1a,1aを形成している。一方、ジョイント部材5には環状溝5aが形成されている。
【0019】
本実施例によれば、図1に示すようにプラスチックパイプ1の内部を減圧することにより、収縮したプラスチックパイプ1の環状突起1aをジョイント部材5の環状溝5aに挿入した後に、プラスチックパイプ1内を大気圧に戻すと、ジョイント部材5の環状溝5aにプラスチックパイプ1の環状突起1aが嵌合される。この結果、環状突起1aと環状溝5aの端面相互が係合するため、軸方向の大きな荷重に耐えることができる。なお、プラスチックパイプ1を減圧した際には、環状突起1aの外径は、ジョイント部材5の被挿入側の最小内径と略同一寸法になるように設定されている。
【0020】
図5は本発明の第4実施例を示す断面図である。本実施例においては、プラスチックパイプ1の端部にテーパ状突起1b,1bを形成している。一方、ジョイント部材5にはテーパ状溝5bが形成されている。
【0021】
本実施例によれば、図1に示すようにプラスチックパイプ1の内部を減圧することにより、収縮したプラスチックパイプ1のテーパ状突起1bをジョイント部材5のテーパ状溝5bに挿入した後に、プラスチックパイプ1内を大気圧に戻すと、ジョイント部材5のテーパ状溝5bにプラスチックパイプ1のテーパ状突起1bが嵌合される。本実施例によれば、テーパ状突起1bの外周面とテーパ状溝5bの内周面が緊密に係合するため、軸方向の大きな荷重に耐えることができる。なお、プラスチックパイプ1を減圧した際には、テーパ状突起1bの最大外径は、ジョイント部材5の被挿入側の最小内径と略同一寸法になるように設定されている。
【0022】
図6は本発明の第5実施例を示す図であり、図6(a)はプラスチックパイプの接合部の断面図、図6(b)は図6(a)のVI(b)−VI(b)線断面図、図6(c)は図6(b)のB部詳細を示す図である。本実施例においては、ジョイント部材5には、図6(a)及び(b)に示すように軸方向に沿ってスプライン溝5cが形成されている。プラスチックパイプ1は図1に示すものと同様である。
【0023】
本実施例によれば、図1に示すようにプラスチックパイプ1の内部を減圧することにより、収縮したプラスチックパイプ1の端部をジョイント部材5に挿入した後に、プラスチックパイプ1内を大気圧に戻すと、プラスチックパイプ1が外方に広がってスプライン溝5c内にふくらむ。この結果、図6(c)に示すようにジョイント部材5のスプライン溝5cのエッジ部5fにプラスチックパイプ1のふくらんだ部分が係合し、大きな円周方向の力に耐えることができ、大きな伝達トルクを伝えることができる。
【0024】
以上のように図1乃至図6に示す方法によれば、工場での接合の必要がなく、減圧量で定量的に接合部の強度を設定することができる。なお、接合部分の取り外しはパイプ内面を減圧することで容易に行うことができる。
【0025】
次に、本発明の第2の態様におけるプラスチックパイプの接合方法の実施例を図7及び図8を参照して説明する。
本実施例においては、図7に示すように繊維強化プラスチックパイプ11と、ジョイント部材12と、固定部材13とが使用される。ジョイント部材12は挿入部12aとフランジ部12bとからなり、挿入部12aには中心軸方向にスリット12sが形成されている。またジョイント部材12の内面には雌ねじ12cが形成されている。前記挿入部12aの外径はパイプ11の内径よりやや大きく設定されている。そして、固定部材13の外周部には雄ねじ13aが形成されている。
【0026】
本実施例によれば、図8に示すようにプラスチックパイプ11の端部に、内面に雌ねじ12cを有するとともに中心軸方向にスリット12sを形成した円筒状のジョイント部材12を打ち込む。このとき、ジョイント部材12はスリット12sにより縮径するため、ジョイント部材12はプラスチックパイプ11の端部に容易に挿入できる。この状態で外周部に雄ねじ13aを有する固定部材13をジョイント部材12にねじ込む。これにより、ジョイント部材12の挿入部12aは拡径するため、プラスチックパイプ11の内径を広げ、プラスチックパイプ11とジョイント部材12とを接合することができる。プラスチックパイプ11の内径は収縮しようとするため、パイプ11の内面とジョイント部材12の外面が接触してジョイント部の外径に圧力が働き、摩擦係数×圧力にて荷重伝達が可能となる。
【0027】
図7及び図8に示す方法によれば、工場での接合の必要がなく、寸法の管理で定量的に接合部の強度を設定することができる。さらに接合部の端部に溝あるいはテーパを形成することにより、より大きな軸方向荷重に耐えることができ、さらに周方向にスプライン溝を付けることで大きなねじり荷重に耐えることができる。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明によれば、繊維強化プラスチックパイプの接合を容易に行うことができるとともに接合部分の安定した強度を確保できる。また、容易に接合荷重を計算でき、かつ接合後ただちに使用できる。さらに、接合部分の取り外しはパイプ内面を減圧することで容易に行うことができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a plastic pipe joining method and apparatus, and more particularly to a plastic pipe joining method and apparatus capable of joining fiber-reinforced plastic pipes without bonding or press-fitting.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Fiber reinforced plastic pipes are used for construction ramen structures, fiber reinforced shafts of rotating machinery, and the like. The fiber reinforced plastic pipe is used by joining a plurality of pipes to make it long. Moreover, when using a fiber reinforced plastic pipe for the rotating shaft of a rotating machine, a shaft and a joint are joined or shafts are joined together.
When joining fiber reinforced plastic pipes, joining is performed by bonding or by press-fitting.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when fiber-reinforced plastic pipes are bonded together, there are problems in that the bonding reliability is low and the transmission load and transmission torque are small. Further, there is a problem that workability is not good because it requires a curing time of the adhesive before use after the joining work or heat hardening is required.
[0004]
In addition, when fiber-reinforced plastic pipes are joined by press-fitting, a high load is required, so that there is a problem that construction with a large pressure device such as construction is necessary.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and can connect a plastic pipe without bonding or press-fitting, and can ensure a stable strength of the bonded portion and can be easily bonded. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bonding method and apparatus.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-described object, a first aspect of the plastic pipe joining method of the present invention is that the plastic pipe is closed at both ends, the inside of the plastic pipe is decompressed by a vacuum pump, and the plastic pipe shrunk by the decompression. The end portion is inserted into the joint portion together with a closing plate for closing the end portion of the plastic pipe, and the inside of the plastic pipe is returned to the atmospheric pressure, thereby leaving the closing plate in the joint portion. It is characterized by joining.
[0007]
According to a second aspect of the plastic pipe joining method of the present invention, a joint portion having a slit and a female screw portion formed on the inner surface is inserted into the plastic pipe, and the outer peripheral portion is inserted into the female screw portion of the joint portion. A plastic pipe and a joint part are joined by screwing together a fixing member having a male screw and expanding the insertion part of the joint part.
[0008]
The plastic pipe and the joint part of the present invention are joined by the plastic pipe joining method of the first and second aspects.
The plastic pipe joining device of the present invention includes a closing plate that closes both ends of the plastic pipe, a vacuum pump that is connected to one end of the closing plate and depressurizes the inside of the plastic pipe, and a state in which the plastic pipe is decompressed After inserting the end portion of the plastic pipe contracted by this decompression into the joint portion together with the closing plate for closing the end portion of the plastic pipe, the inside of the plastic pipe is returned to atmospheric pressure to leave the closing plate in the joint portion. A vacuum valve for joining the plastic pipe and the joint portion in a state is provided.
[0009]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the closing plates are attached to both ends of the plastic pipe, and the inner surface of the pipe is decompressed by the vacuum pump from one side of the closing plate. By reducing the pressure, the outer diameter of the pipe contracts. After inserting the pipe end into the joint inner diameter that has the same dimensions as the contracted pipe outer diameter, the vacuum valve is opened to bring the pipe inner surface to atmospheric pressure. Since the outer diameter of the pipe tends to expand, the outer surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the joint come into contact with each other, and a reaction force acts on the inner diameter of the joint portion, and a load can be transmitted with a friction coefficient × reaction force. The joint portion can be easily removed by decompressing the inner surface of the pipe.
[0010]
According to the present invention, there is no need for joining at a factory, and the strength of the joint can be set quantitatively by the amount of reduced pressure. Furthermore, by forming a groove or a taper at the end of the joint, it is possible to withstand a large axial load, and by attaching a spline groove in the circumferential direction, it is possible to withstand a large torsional load.
[0011]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, a cylindrical joint portion having a female screw on the inner surface and having a slit in the central axis direction is driven into the end portion of the plastic pipe. At this time, since the joint portion is reduced in diameter by the slit, the joint portion can be easily inserted into the end portion of the plastic pipe. In this state, a fixing member having an external thread on the outer peripheral portion is screwed into the joint portion. Thereby, since the insertion part of a joint part is expanded in diameter, the internal diameter of a plastic pipe can be expanded and a plastic pipe and a joint part can be joined. Since the inner diameter of the pipe tends to shrink, the inner surface of the pipe and the outer surface of the joint portion come into contact with each other, pressure acts on the outer diameter of the joint portion, and a load can be transmitted with a friction coefficient × pressure.
[0012]
【Example】
Embodiments of the plastic pipe joining method and apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
[0013]
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a plastic pipe joining apparatus. The plastic pipe joining apparatus includes a closing plate 2 and 2 having packings 2a and 2a for closing both ends of the fiber reinforced plastic pipe 1, and a vacuum connected to one end of the closing plate 2 to decompress the inside of the fiber reinforced plastic pipe 1. The pump 3 and the vacuum valve 4 which returns the inside of the fiber reinforced plastic pipe 1 to atmospheric pressure are comprised.
[0014]
Next, a method for joining fiber reinforced plastic pipes using the above apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, as shown in FIG. 1, both ends of the fiber reinforced plastic pipe 1 are closed by the closing plates 2 and 2. Next, the outer diameter of the pipe is contracted by operating the vacuum pump 3 to reduce the pressure inside the fiber reinforced plastic pipe 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a joint member 5 having an inner diameter substantially the same as the outer diameter of the contracted plastic pipe 1 is prepared, and the end of the plastic pipe 1 is inserted into the joint member 5.
[0015]
Next, the vacuum valve 4 is opened to return the inside of the plastic pipe 1 to atmospheric pressure. As a result, the outer diameter of the plastic pipe 1 tends to expand, so that the inner surface of the plastic pipe 1 and the joint member 5 come into close contact with each other, and a reaction force (F) acts on the inner diameter of the joint portion, and a friction coefficient (μ) × reaction force Load transmission is possible at (F).
[0016]
FIG. 3 is a view showing a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 (a) is a cross-sectional view of a joint portion of a plastic pipe, and FIG. 3 (b) is a view showing details of a portion A of FIG. 3 (a). is there. In the present embodiment, the joint member 5 is formed with an annular groove 5a. The plastic pipe 1 is the same as that shown in FIG. In addition, the closing plate in the both ends of the plastic pipe 1 is not illustrated.

[0025]
Next, an embodiment of a plastic pipe joining method according to the second aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the present embodiment, a fiber reinforced plastic pipe 11, a joint member 12, and a fixing member 13 are used as shown in FIG. The joint member 12 includes an insertion portion 12a and a flange portion 12b, and a slit 12s is formed in the insertion portion 12a in the central axis direction. An internal thread 12 c is formed on the inner surface of the joint member 12. The outer diameter of the insertion portion 12 a is set slightly larger than the inner diameter of the pipe 11. A male screw 13 a is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the fixing member 13.
[0026]
According to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, a cylindrical joint member 12 having a female screw 12c on the inner surface and having a slit 12s formed in the central axis direction is driven into the end portion of the plastic pipe 11. At this time, since the diameter of the joint member 12 is reduced by the slit 12s, the joint member 12 can be easily inserted into the end portion of the plastic pipe 11. In this state, the fixing member 13 having the male screw 13a on the outer peripheral portion is screwed into the joint member 12. Thereby, since the insertion part 12a of the joint member 12 expands in diameter, the internal diameter of the plastic pipe 11 can be expanded and the plastic pipe 11 and the joint member 12 can be joined. Since the inner diameter of the plastic pipe 11 tends to shrink, the inner surface of the pipe 11 and the outer surface of the joint member 12 come into contact with each other, pressure acts on the outer diameter of the joint portion, and a load can be transmitted with a friction coefficient × pressure.
[0027]
According to the method shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, there is no need for joining at the factory, and the strength of the joint can be set quantitatively by managing the dimensions. Furthermore, by forming a groove or taper at the end of the joint, it is possible to withstand a greater axial load, and by attaching a spline groove in the circumferential direction, it is possible to withstand a large torsional load.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, the fiber-reinforced plastic pipe can be easily joined and a stable strength of the joined portion can be ensured. In addition, the joining load can be easily calculated and used immediately after joining. Further, the joint portion can be easily removed by reducing the pressure inside the pipe.
