【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、樹脂製の被接続管から分岐管を取り出すときに用いるサービスチー等の電気融着式サドル継手であって、特に特殊管用の電気融着式サドル継手と、その製造方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、電気融着式のサドル継手としてはサービスチーやバイパスサドルが知られている(特開平8−261384号他参照)。
電気融着式サービスチーは(以下、サービスチーを例にとって説明する。)、埋設されたガス管等の本管(例えば口径100mm以上)あるいは支管(同じく口径50、75mm)から分岐管(以下、供給管という。)を取り出すときに用いられており、通常、本管あるいは支管(以下、本支管という。)の口径に対して1段以上小さい口径の供給管を取り出すようになっている。
【0003】
例えば、75×30(被接続管の呼び径×スピゴット部の呼び径)や100×50というように75や100の本支管の呼び径に対し、30や50の口径の供給管を取り出すものであった。そして、そのサドル部は、既製の本支管の外面に合うように形状寸法が予め成形されており、例えば100×50であれば外径114mmのパイプ寸法に合うようにサドル部の曲率はおよそ110mm程度に成形されている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、この電気融着式サービスチーは、標準のガス管に用いられるだけではなく特殊なガス管や異なる肉厚の管(以下、特殊管という。)にも利用することが出来る。ところが、特殊管の中にはその外径寸法が若干異なっていることがあり、標準管用のサービスチーを利用することができないことがある。かといって特殊管は数も少ないので、新たに金型を起こして製造するには費用負担が大き過ぎるという問題がある。
【0005】
そこで、本発明はこのような特殊管用のサービスチー等を簡単かつ安価に得るようにした電気融着式サドル継手及びその製造方法を提供するものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、接続管A用に成形された電気融着式サドル継手の少なくともサドル部を再結晶温度以下に加熱した後、当該サドル部が別の接続管Bの外面に合うように再成形して矯正した電気融着式サドル継手の製造方法である。尚、前記した接続管Aを径の小さい接続管Bの外径に合致するように縮小する比を、本発明では矯正率と言うことにする。
【0007】
このとき、少なくともサドル部を再結晶温度より5〜20℃、より好ましくは5〜10℃低い温度に加熱した後、当該サドル部を被接続管相当部材にクランプし、これを0〜40℃、より好ましくは20〜30℃の冷媒中で冷却して矯正することが望ましい。本発明において矯正とは、別の接続管用にサドル部の形状、寸法を成形することを言っている。尚、矯正は縮小と拡大の場合があるが、大きい呼び径のものを縮小して矯正することの方が多い。さらに、再結晶温度以下にサドル部を加熱する場合には、酸化防止剤を配合した液体にサドル部を浸漬して加熱することが望ましい。
【0008】
本発明の特徴は、予め射出成形等で大量生産された既存のサドル継手を用いて、この継手のサドル部を別の被接続管の外面形状(曲率等)に合致するようにサドル部を矯正し、新たな電気融着式サドル継手を得ることにある。これによって、数の少ない特殊品にも速やかに対応できる。
加熱炉などで再結晶温度以下に加熱されたサドル継手は、クランプしたまま急冷固化されるので、矯正後のサドル部には形状的な歪みや変形が生じにくく寸法精度が良いものとなる。但し、サドル部内部には収縮歪みが残存することになるが、実際の融着ではクランプで固定されたまま再結晶温度以上に加熱されるので収縮歪みが開放される間もなく融着が進むことになる。但し、極端な再成形は矯正範囲外であって、およそ被接続管の外径比で30%を超える場合は電熱線の断線や短絡を引き起こすので好ましくない。
【0009】
本発明の電気融着式サドル継手に用いる樹脂としては、熱可塑性樹脂であれば特に限定されるものではないが、中密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、ポリブテン等の熱融着性の良好なポリオレフィン系樹脂が好ましい。これら樹脂の再結晶温度T℃は、およそ中密度ポリエチレンではT=88〜126℃、高密度ポリエチレンではT=96〜126℃、ポリブテンではT=100〜114℃である。尚、これらの特性値は樹脂製造メーカによって若干異なってくるので、実際の樹脂特性に合わせて加熱温度を補正することが必要である。
【0010】
そして、クランプ状態のサドル継手は冷媒中で冷却されるが、この冷媒は温度管理された水浴中で冷却することが好ましく、水温は高すぎると空冷される場合と同じように時間の経過と共に歪みが表れ形状にばらつきが生じる。一方、0℃以下では水の場合液体状態を保てないし、急冷により結晶化がばらつき好ましくない。よって、通常の融着作業が行われ得る0〜40℃程度が望ましく、たとえばこれは通常の水道水でも良い。
サドル継手のサドル部内面には電熱線が埋設されており融着面を有しているが、加熱再成形過程でこの融着面に酸化皮膜を形成してしまうと、融着性能に図らずも悪影響を及ぼすことがあるので、酸化防止剤を加熱用液体に配合してこの酸化皮膜層を形成させなくすることが望ましい。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の一実施例を図面を参照して説明する。
図1は、矯正前のサドル部を点線で示したサービスチーの半断面側面図である。図2は図1の正面図である。
先ず、電気融着サービスチーについて説明する。このサービスチーは、中央部に穿孔具10が螺合し進退(上下動)するためのめねじ20を備えた略円筒状の胴部2と、被接続管の上に跨がるサドル部3と、胴部2から直角に分岐したスピゴット部4と、胴部2の上端にOリング9を介して螺合するキャップ5と、融着作業時にサービスチーと管を固定するクランプ装置を掛けるクランプ掛け部6と、胴部2の中に予め螺合して装着された穿孔具10とからなっている。そして、サドル部3の底部内周面には電熱線7を渦巻状に埋設し、両端をコネクターピン8R、8Lに接続した電気融着継手となっている。
【0012】
尚、上記スピゴット部4は、本例では被接続管の軸線に対して直角方向に延びているが、これを管軸線方向に延ばしたものを用いることもある。このときコネクターピンはスピゴットがない側に並列して設けられる。また、穿孔具10は回転工具係合部11とカッター部12とからなるが、回転トルクが重い場合は両者の間にベアリング等を介して両者を相対回転自在としカッターを進退させる押し切りタイプの穿孔具や、あるいは別体の穿孔具を胴体上部に取り付ける装着型を用いることもある。尚、穿孔穴は円形に限ることなく、例えば押し切り形のカッターを用いた場合は楕円等の穴も開けられる。また、25は二重シール用のOリング溝でここにもOリングを装着することが出来るようになっている。
【0013】
次ぎに、既設導管からの活管分岐の手順を簡単に説明すると、先ずガスが流れている活管状態の接続管(本支管)の外面をスクレープし、この位置にサービスチーと管をクランプ装置を用いて固定する。次ぎにコントローラとコネクターピンを接続し、電熱線に電流を所定時間流して加熱させ両者を融着接続する。他方、スピゴット部に別途電気融着継手を用いて分岐管(供給管)を融着接続する。冷却後、キャップを取り除き穿孔具を下動させて管に穿孔穴を開ける。その後、穿孔具を上動させて元の位置に戻す。このときカッター部分には被接続管の肉部分が詰まっているのでここからガスが漏れることは防がれている。以上によって本支管から供給管への活管分岐が行われる。
【0014】
さて、従来既存のサービスチーとしては、50×25(管の呼び口径×スピゴットの呼び口径、以下同様)、75×30、100×30、150×50、200×75等が用いられており、本支管の呼び50、75、100、150及び200に対してスピゴットの呼びが25、30、50及び75いずれかの組合せで合計35アイテム程が生産されている。
【0015】
図1に示すサービスチー1もその中の一つで、もともと点線で示すような外径φAのガス管Aに接続するために成形されたサドル部3を有しているものである。これを下記する実施例によって外径φBの特殊管Bを接続できるようなサドル部B’に矯正したものである。

【0018】
【実施例4】
外径φA=114mmである接続管A用の高密度ポリエチレン製サービスチー1を100℃に保たれた電気炉内で1時間加熱した後、外径φB=97mmの特殊管相当の治具に通常のクランプ工具を用いて固定した。その後、23℃の水浴中で15分間冷却してサドル部3’を有するサービスチー1’を得た。
【0019】
【実施例5】

【0020】
[比較例1]
外径φA=165mmである接続管A用の中密度ポリエチレン製サービスチー1を70℃に保たれた電気炉内で1時間加熱した後、外径φB=145mmの特殊管相当の治具に通常のクランプ工具を用いて固定した。その後、空冷してサドル部3’を有するサービスチー1’を得た。
【0021】
[比較例2]
外径φA=165mmである接続管A用の中密度ポリエチレン製サービスチー1を110℃に保たれた電気炉内で1時間加熱した後、外径φB=114mmの特殊管相当の治具に通常のクランプ工具を用いて固定した。その後、23℃の水浴中で15分間冷却してサドル部3’を有するサービスチー1’を得た。
【0022】
[比較例3]
外径φA=114mmである接続管A用の高密度ポリエチレン製サービスチー1を125℃に保たれた電気炉内で1時間加熱した後、外径φB=97mmの特殊管相当の治具に通常のクランプ工具を用いて固定した。その後、23℃の水浴中で15分間冷却してサドル部3’を有するサービスチー1’を得た。
【0023】
以上の実施例及び比較例について矯正後のサドル部の寸法測定と変形の有無を検査し、その後、常温状態において実際に特殊管Bに電気融着接続を行った。そして、このサドル部を引っ張るサドル剥離試験を行い融着強度を確認した。尚、融着強度は融着面積の75%以上が残っているか否かを良否基準とした。
実施例及び比較例についての矯正の条件と試験結果を○、△、×で表1に示す。比較例において、空冷ではクランプを取り外した後、収縮歪みが開放される形となりサドル部の寸法がでない。加熱温度が高い場合は融着性能がでない。また矯正率が30%を超えるものではサドル部の歪みと電熱線の変形が見られ共に悪い結果であった。一方、本発明の実施例では共に良好な試験結果を得ることが出来た。

ここで、再成形したサドル継手の融着面に酸化皮膜が形成されてしまうと、融着接続に悪影響を与える可能性がある。従って、本実施例では継手材質のポリエチレンに悪影響を及ぼさず親和性が良く且つ引火点の高いポリエチレングリコール等の液体にハイドロキノンのメチルエーテルやブチレート・ハイドロオキシ・アニソール等の酸化防止剤を配合し、この液体にサドル部を浸漬して再結晶温度以下に加熱することにより、酸化皮膜の形成を防止している。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electric fusion-type saddle joint such as a service tee used when taking out a branch pipe from a resin-made connected pipe, and particularly to an electric fusion-type saddle joint for a special pipe and a method for manufacturing the same. is there.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Service chi and bypass saddles are known as electrofusion type saddle joints (see JP-A-8-261384 and others).
The electric fusion type service chi (hereinafter described as an example of a service chi) is a main pipe (for example, a diameter of 100 mm or more) such as an embedded gas pipe or a branch pipe (also a diameter of 50, 75 mm) to a branch pipe (hereinafter, This is used when taking out a supply pipe). Usually, a supply pipe having a diameter smaller by one or more stages than the diameter of a main pipe or a branch pipe (hereinafter referred to as a main branch pipe) is taken out.
[0003]
For example, a supply pipe having a diameter of 30 or 50 is taken out of a nominal diameter of 75 or 100 main branch pipes such as 75 × 30 (nominal diameter of connected pipe × nominal diameter of spigot part) or 100 × 50. there were. The saddle portion is pre-shaped so as to fit the outer surface of the ready-made main branch pipe. For example, if the saddle portion is 100 × 50, the curvature of the saddle portion is about 110 mm so as to fit the pipe size of an outer diameter of 114 mm. Molded to the extent.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, this electric fusion service tee can be used not only for standard gas pipes but also for special gas pipes and pipes with different thicknesses (hereinafter referred to as special pipes). However, some special pipes may have slightly different outer diameters, and the service pipe for standard pipes may not be available. However, since there are few special pipes, there is a problem that the cost burden is too high to produce a new mold.
[0005]
Accordingly, the present invention provides an electrofusion type saddle joint and a method for manufacturing the same, which can obtain such a service pipe for a special pipe easily and inexpensively.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, after heating at least the saddle portion of the electrofusion saddle joint formed for the connecting pipe A to the recrystallization temperature or lower, the saddle portion is reshaped so as to fit the outer surface of another connecting pipe B. This is a method of manufacturing an electric fusion saddle joint that has been straightened. In the present invention, the ratio of reducing the connecting pipe A so as to match the outer diameter of the connecting pipe B having a small diameter is referred to as a correction rate.
[0007]
At this time, after heating at least the saddle part to a temperature 5 to 20 ° C., more preferably 5 to 10 ° C. lower than the recrystallization temperature, the saddle part is clamped to a connected pipe equivalent member, this is 0 to 40 ° C., More preferably, it is desirable to correct by cooling in a refrigerant at 20 to 30 ° C. In the present invention, straightening refers to molding the shape and dimensions of the saddle portion for another connecting pipe. Although correction may be reduced and enlarged, it is more common to reduce and correct a larger nominal diameter. Furthermore, when heating the saddle part below the recrystallization temperature, it is desirable to immerse and heat the saddle part in a liquid containing an antioxidant.
[0008]
The feature of the present invention is that an existing saddle joint mass-produced by injection molding or the like is used, and the saddle part of this joint is corrected so as to match the outer surface shape (curvature, etc.) of another connected pipe. The object is to obtain a new electrofusion type saddle joint. As a result, special products with a small number can be quickly handled.
Since the saddle joint heated to the recrystallization temperature or lower in a heating furnace or the like is rapidly cooled and solidified while being clamped, the saddle portion after correction is less likely to be distorted or deformed and has good dimensional accuracy. However, shrinkage strain remains inside the saddle part, but in actual fusion, the fusion proceeds without the shrinkage strain being released because it is heated above the recrystallization temperature while being fixed by the clamp. Become. However, extreme reshaping is out of the correction range, and if the outer diameter ratio of the connected pipe exceeds 30%, it is not preferable because the heating wire is broken or short-circuited.
[0009]
The resin used in the electro-fusion type saddle joint of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is a thermoplastic resin, but a polyolefin-based material having good heat-fusibility such as medium density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polybutene and the like. Resins are preferred. The recrystallization temperature T ° C. of these resins is approximately T = 88 to 126 ° C. for medium density polyethylene, T = 96 to 126 ° C. for high density polyethylene, and T = 100 to 114 ° C. for polybutene. Since these characteristic values vary slightly depending on the resin manufacturer, it is necessary to correct the heating temperature in accordance with the actual resin characteristics.
[0010]
The saddle joint in the clamped state is cooled in a refrigerant, but this refrigerant is preferably cooled in a temperature-controlled water bath. If the water temperature is too high, it is distorted as time passes. Will appear and the shape will vary. On the other hand, when the temperature is 0 ° C. or lower, the liquid state cannot be maintained in the case of water, and crystallization varies due to rapid cooling. Therefore, about 0-40 degreeC in which a normal fusion operation | work can be performed is desirable, for example, this may be normal tap water.
Although the heating wire is embedded in the saddle joint inner surface of the saddle joint and has a fusion surface, if an oxide film is formed on this fusion surface during the heat re-forming process, the fusion performance will not be achieved. Therefore, it is desirable to prevent the formation of this oxide film layer by adding an antioxidant to the heating liquid.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a half cross-sectional side view of a service chi showing a saddle portion before correction by a dotted line. FIG. 2 is a front view of FIG.
First, the electrofusion service chi will be described. This service chi has a substantially cylindrical body 2 provided with a female screw 20 for screwing the punching tool 10 into the center and moving back and forth (up and down), and a saddle 3 that straddles the pipe to be connected. And a spigot part 4 branched from the body part 2 at a right angle, a cap 5 screwed onto the upper end of the body part 2 via an O-ring 9, and a clamp for hanging a service device and a clamp device for fixing the pipe during the fusion work It comprises a hook 6 and a punch 10 that is screwed into the body 2 in advance. And the heating wire 7 is spirally embedded in the inner peripheral surface of the bottom part of the saddle part 3, and it becomes the electric fusion joint which connected both ends to the connector pins 8R and 8L.
[0012]
In addition, although the said spigot part 4 is extended in the orthogonal | vertical direction with respect to the axis line of a to-be-connected pipe in this example, what extended this to the pipe axis direction may be used. At this time, the connector pins are provided in parallel on the side without the spigot. The punching tool 10 is composed of a rotary tool engaging portion 11 and a cutter portion 12, but when the rotational torque is heavy, a push-cut type punching device in which both are rotatable relative to each other via a bearing or the like to move the cutter forward and backward. There is also a case where a wearable type in which a tool or a separate drilling tool is attached to the upper part of the body is used. Note that the perforated hole is not limited to a circular shape. For example, when a push-cut cutter is used, a hole such as an ellipse can be formed. Reference numeral 25 denotes an O-ring groove for double sealing, and an O-ring can be mounted here.
[0013]
Next, the procedure of branching the live pipe from the existing pipe will be briefly explained. First, the outer surface of the connection pipe (main branch pipe) in a live pipe state in which gas is flowing is scraped, and the service team and the pipe are clamped at this position. Use to fix. Next, the controller and the connector pin are connected, and a current is passed through the heating wire for a predetermined time to heat it, and the two are fusion bonded. On the other hand, a branch pipe (supply pipe) is fused and connected to the spigot portion using a separate electric fusion joint. After cooling, the cap is removed and the drilling tool is moved down to make a hole in the tube. Thereafter, the punch is moved up and returned to its original position. At this time, since the cutter portion is clogged with the meat portion of the connected pipe, gas is prevented from leaking from here. As described above, the live pipe branches from the main branch pipe to the supply pipe.
[0014]
Now, as the existing service chi, 50 × 25 (nominal diameter of pipe × nominal diameter of spigot, the same applies hereinafter), 75 × 30, 100 × 30, 150 × 50, 200 × 75, etc. are used. A total of 35 items are produced by combining any of the 25, 30, 50, and 75 spigot calls with respect to the 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 calls of this branch pipe.
[0015]

About the above Example and the comparative example, the dimension measurement of the saddle part after correction | amendment and the presence or absence of a deformation | transformation were test | inspected, and the electrofusion connection was actually performed to the special pipe | tube B in the normal temperature state after that. And the saddle peeling test which pulls this saddle part was performed, and the fusion strength was confirmed. Note that the fusion strength was determined based on whether or not 75% or more of the fusion area remained.
The correction conditions and test results for the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 1 as ◯, Δ, and ×. In the comparative example, in the air cooling, after the clamp is removed, the shrinkage distortion is released, and the size of the saddle portion is not. When the heating temperature is high, the fusing performance is not good. Moreover, when the correction rate exceeded 30%, distortion of the saddle portion and deformation of the heating wire were observed, both of which were bad results. On the other hand, in the examples of the present invention, good test results could be obtained.

Here, if an oxide film is formed on the fusion surface of the re-formed saddle joint, there is a possibility of adversely affecting the fusion connection. Therefore, in this example, an antioxidant such as methyl ether of hydroquinone, butyrate, hydroxy, anisole, etc. is blended with a liquid such as polyethylene glycol having a good affinity and a high flash point without adversely affecting the polyethylene of the joint material, The formation of an oxide film is prevented by immersing the saddle portion in this liquid and heating it below the recrystallization temperature.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, the electrofusion saddle joint and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention are reshaped so that the saddle portion is reshaped using the pre-manufactured saddle joint so as to be fitted to the outer surface of another connected pipe. And finished. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture at low cost by using a common mold and parts in common without investing in new equipment. Further, the dimensional error of the saddle portion is eliminated by heating and cooling at the time of correction, and distortion and deformation can be suppressed.
