- the sleeve inclined surface 32 of the sleeve 3 slides along the inner nut inclined surface 21 of the nut 2.
- the entire sleeve 3 including the sleeve protrusion 33 moves in the tube insertion direction N against the pressing force of the spring 4.
- the operator may use the pressing part 31 of the sleeve 3 to assist in pushing the sleeve 3. Especially when you feel strong resistance, it is better to push the sleeve 3 in by hand.
- the tapered surface of the sleeve protrusion 33 is set at 45 degrees.
- the taper angle of the sleeve protrusion 33 becomes larger than 45 degrees, the end of the tube B and the tapered surface of the sleeve protrusion 33 come into strong contact, making it difficult for the tube B to slip inside the sleeve protrusion 33, and the sleeve 3 expands. Since the diameter is not large, it becomes difficult to insert the tube body B.
- the 45 degree tapered surface of the sleeve protrusion 33 allows the sleeve 3 to be pushed in by the tube body B, and the end of the tube body B to slip into the inside of the sleeve protrusion 33 using the tapered surface of the sleeve protrusion 33, thereby pushing the sleeve 3 away.

- the sleeve 3 expands in diameter due to its own elasticity, and the sleeve inclined surface 32 and sleeve protrusion 33 also gradually expand in diameter.
- the tip surface of the tube B separates from the 45-degree tapered surface of the sleeve protrusion 33.
- the sleeve 3 is pushed back in the direction opposite to the insertion direction N of the tube body B, so the end of the tube body B slides on the 45-degree tapered surface of the sleeve protrusion 33.
- the tube body B passes inside the protrusion of the sleeve 3 and is inserted until it reaches the tube abutting portion 16 of the nipple 1, as shown in FIG. 4(c).
- the sleeve 3 is forcefully pressed in the tube withdrawal direction U by the elasticity of the spring 4, and the sleeve 3 is accordingly pushed all at once.
- the inner end of the sleeve protrusion 33 is deformed to reduce its diameter and bite into the outer surface of the tube body B, and the tube body B is held between the outer circumferential surface of the guide portion 14 so as not to be movable in the tube removal direction U (FIG. 2 (see (a)).
- a connection that cannot be pulled out can be completed in a single-touch, smooth, and reliable manner without the need for any tools.
- the sleeve In conventional pipe joints, the sleeve is completely housed within the nut, so it cannot be pushed in the pipe insertion direction N.
- the sleeve 3 has an extension part that extends further than the nut 2 in the pipe exit direction U on the opposite side of the nipple 1, and the extension part has a flange. Since this functions as a pressing portion 31, the sleeve 3 can be pushed in the tube insertion direction N even when the connection of the tube body B is completed.
- FIG. 2(b) shows a state in which the sleeve 3 is pushed in. Since the ring 5 is configured to fit into the ring escape portion 17 of the nipple 1, the sleeve 3 can be pushed further into the tube insertion direction N. The sleeve 3 has an enlarged diameter, and the sleeve protrusion 33 does not bite into the tube body B. If the tube body B is pulled while the sleeve 3 continues to be pushed in, the tube body B can be easily pulled out because the resistance from the sleeve protrusion 33 is not applied to a large extent.

It shows the state transition when the internal pressure of Moreover, FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 5, specifically,
- the O-ring 6 is divided into one on the back side and the one on the front side in the insertion direction of the tube body, and is shown as an O-ring 61 and an O-ring 62, respectively.
- the water stop structure is also improved.
- a situation occurs in which the sleeve moves while tilting, and the pipe body and O-ring may not be properly compressed, resulting in insufficient water stoppage.
- such a situation is prevented from occurring. This will be explained using FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the sleeve protrusion 33 is placed above the O-ring 61 on the back side in the insertion direction of the tubular body. At this time, since the sleeve 3 has been reduced in diameter, the sleeve protrusion 33 bites into the tubular body B to prevent the tubular body B from coming off, and at the same time compresses the tubular body B and the O-ring 61 to shut off water.
- the spring 4 pushes the sleeve 3
- the ring 5 is guided by the outer peripheral surface of the ring 5 against the inner surface of the nut 2 so that the sleeve 3 can move in the axial direction while suppressing the phenomenon that the sleeve 3 is tilted inside the nut 2.
- the parallel surfaces between the inner surface of the nut 2 and the outer peripheral surface of the ring 5 are used to stabilize the movement.
- the sleeve protrusion 33 is placed above the O-ring 61 on the back side in the insertion direction of the tube body, by setting the positional relationship such that the O-ring 61 is located between the sleeve protrusions 33 and the sleeve protrusions 33, it is possible to prevent Even if the sleeve 3 is tilted, the pipe body B and the O-ring 61 can be compressed to shut off water.
- the tube body B and the sleeve 3 move together. At this time, the diameter of the sleeve 3 is further reduced due to the contact between the nut inner inclined surface 21 and the sleeve inclined surface 32, and the sleeve protrusion 33 bites into the tube body B, thereby ensuring that the tube body B does not come off.
- the compressive force between the tube body B and the O-ring 61 increases, and water is stopped. At relatively low pressure, water is stopped by the O-ring 61 on the back side in the insertion direction of the tube (see FIGS.
- FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional front view showing the overall configuration of a pipe joint according to another embodiment of the present invention, and (a) shows the state in which the sleeve is contracted in diameter when the pipe body is connected. , (b) shows the state in which the tube is not inserted.

- the sleeve 3' has a cylindrical middle portion, and elastic deformation portions are provided at both ends of the sleeve 3' to elastically expand and contract the sleeve 3' in the radial direction.
- the sleeve 3' is similar to the sleeve 3 in that it extends further than the nut 2 in the tube removal direction U on the opposite side of the nipple 1, and this extended portion has an expanded diameter in the normal state.
- this portion can be used as the pressing portion 31'. Since such a sleeve 3' can be assembled from either side of the nut 2, productivity can be improved. Furthermore, sleeve exchangeability can also be improved. As mentioned earlier, the sleeve is a consumable part that deteriorates over time and needs to be replaced.When it becomes necessary to replace it, first remove the sleeve 3', turn it in the opposite direction, and then replace it. If you insert it into nut 2 again, you will get the same effect as replacing it. A reversible structure has such advantages.
- the tightening member was formed by a nut that is attached to the nipple by screwing, but there are other methods such as connecting the tightening member to the nipple in a detachable manner, or fixing it integrally by welding or the like without screwing. It is also possible to change it as follows. In the present invention, since the sleeve can be inserted and removed with the pipe joint assembled, there is no problem even if the nipple and the tightening member are welded together.

しかしながら、特許文献1の管継手は、管体を規定位置まで確実に挿入できる反面、一旦、挿入作業が完了してしまうと、管継手を破壊若しくは分解しなければ、管体を抜き取ることができないものであった。管体の設置現場では、設置した後に管体の長さが十分でないことが発覚して、適正な管体に取り換えなければならないような非常事態が生じることがあるし、このような事態が生じずとも、管体の抜け止め部材としてのスリーブは使用とともに経年劣化する消耗部品であり、交換が必要となるものであるにも関わらず、より耐用年数の長い継手部分迄をも破壊しなければならないのはコスト高となっていたし、継手が分解できる構造であったとしても相応の作業負担が生じることになる。このようなことから、本発明者らは、スリーブが外部に延出し、当該演出した部分を操作することによって、管体を抜くことも可能とする管継手を提案するに至った。
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aは、図1~図3に示すように、管体Bの内表面と対向して設けられる案内部14を有するニップル1と、案内部14の外周面と対向してその軸方向へ傾斜するように設けられるナット内傾斜面21(テーパー面)を有するナット2(締め付け部材)と、ナット2のナット内傾斜面21に沿って管体の挿入方向及び逆方向の管抜け方向へ往復動自在で且つ径方向へ弾性的に拡径及び縮径変形可能に設けられるスリーブ3と、スリーブ3をナット内傾斜面21に沿って管抜け方向へ押圧するように設けられるスプリング4を、主要な構成要素として備えている。この他、スプリング4のバネ受けとなるリング5と、止水のためのOリング6も備えている。
図1(b)及び(c)に示すように、案内部14を有するニップル1に対して、ナット2の内周に設けられた雌ネジとニップル1の筒状部13の外周に設けられた雄ネジ(図2(a)も併せて参照されたい。)が螺合されることによって、ナット2をニップル1に対して回転させて接続するように構成している。ニップル1にはナット2を螺合させる際に用いられる六角二面幅などの工具係合部12が設けられている。ナット2をニップル1に対して接続する前に、案内部14に形成されている環状凹部15内にOリング6を嵌入装着して軸方向へ移動不能に保持すると共に、スプリング4とリング5をニップル1とナット2との間に配置するようにしてから、ナット2をニップル1に接続する。しかし、スリーブ3については、ニップル1とナット2を接続する前に組付けなくともよい。従来の管継手であれば、スリーブもニップルとナットの接続前に両者の間に配置して接続作業を行うことが迫られる、つまり、後からスリーブを取り付けることはできないのであるが、本発明では、ニップル1とナット2を接続した後であっても、スリーブ3を取り付けることが可能となっている。すなわち、従来のように、ニップル1とナット2の組み立て時にスリーブを取り付けることが可能である一方で、ニップル1とナット2を組み立てた後であっても、スリーブ3をナット2の開口部から押し付けるだけで、スリーブ3が縮径し、ナット2内へスリーブ3を収めることが可能である。
なお、本実施形態においては、押圧部31は、フランジ形状として形成されているが、交換作業用治具を係合させることのできる係合部を設けるようにして、押圧する際に別体として用意した交換作業用治具を係合させて押圧させるようにしてもよく、重要なことは、スリーブ3が、ニップル1と逆側の管抜け方向Uへナット2よりも延出されていることである。
案内部14の外周面には、管体Bの内表面及びスリーブ3の内周面と対向して周方向へ延びる環状凹部15を形成し、環状凹部15内にOリング6を嵌入装着して軸方向へ移動不能に保持するとともに、Oリング6の外周端を案内部14の外周面から若干突出させて、管体Bの内表面に圧接させるようにしてある。
図示される例では、案内部14の外周面において、2つの環状凹部15及び2つのOリング6がそれぞれ所定間隔を空けて配置され、環状凹部15を除いた外周面全体が管挿入方向Nへ平滑な面に形成されている。
また、その他の例として図示しないが、環状凹部15内にOリング6を案内部14の軸方向へ三組以上の環状凹部15内にOリング6を所定間隔毎に配置することも可能である。
ナット2の内周面には、スリーブ3の締め付け手段として、管挿入方向Nに向けて徐々に大径となるとともに、管抜け方向Uへ向けて徐々に小径となるように傾斜するナット内傾斜面21(テーパー面)が形成されている。
従来の管継手のナットには、その内周面において管抜け方向Uの先端側に、スリーブが管抜け方向Uへ移動することを防止するために、スリーブと対向する規制部が形成されていた。そのため、ニップルとナットを接続した後に、スリーブを取り付けることはできないし、取り付けられたスリーブを、管継手を破壊ないし分解することなく取り外すこともできなかったのであるが、本発明の実施形態では、スリーブ3の取り付け及び取り外しが可能となっている。後述するスリーブ3の材質及び構造からすれば、図2(b)において、管体Bが存在しない状況で、スリーブ3が容易に取り付け及び取り外しが可能であることは容易に理解されよう。
スリーブ3は、例えばポリアセタール樹脂やそれ以外の表面の滑り性と靭性、耐熱性に優れた合成樹脂などの弾性変形可能な材料で、径方向へ拡径及び縮径変形可能な略円筒状に形成され、その内径が、拡径時には管体Bの外径と略同じか又はそれよりも大きく、縮径時には管体Bの外径よりも小さくなるように設定している。
さらに、スリーブ3は、案内部14の外周面とナット2のナット内傾斜面21に沿って管挿入方向N及び管抜け方向Uへ往復動自在に支持されている。
スリーブ3の内周面には、周方向へ環状又は環状に近い状態で案内部14の外周面に向け突出形成されるスリーブ突起33が形成されている。
スリーブ突起33は、管体Bの挿入時には管体Bの接続端部における先端面と管挿入方向Nへ対向して突き当たるように配置されるとともに、管抜け方向Uへの移動に伴い接続端部の外表面に向けてその内端を管体Bの外径よりも小さく縮径変形させるように形成されている。
スリーブ突起33の個数は、管挿入方向Nへ複数のスリーブ突起33を配置することが好ましい。図2に示される例では、スリーブ3の内周面において、三つのスリーブ突起33がそれぞれ所定間隔を空けて一体成形されている。この三つのスリーブ突起33は、図2(a)に示される管体Bの接続完了状態において、管挿入方向Nの奥側のOリング6の上方に配置されるような位置関係とすることが好ましい。
スリーブ傾斜面32は、スリーブ3の外周面に沿って周方向へ環状又は環状に近い状態で、ナット2のナット内傾斜面21と略平行となるように形成され、ナット内傾斜面21と非接触状態においては、スリーブ傾斜面32の最大径部位をナット内傾斜面21の最大径部位と同一径又は若干小径となるように寸法設定されつつも、接触状態においてはナット内傾斜面21が小径となっている部位によってスリーブ傾斜面32が縮径を余儀なくされるような配置関係とされている。すなわち、スリーブ傾斜面32がナット内傾斜面21に対し常時弾性的に圧接するように構成されている。
詳しく説明すると、スリーブ傾斜面32は、スリーブ突起33と管体Bの先端面との突き当たりに伴いナット内傾斜面21に沿って管挿入方向Nへ一旦移動した後、スプリング4により管抜け方向Uへ逆向きに移動するように配置されている。
図示される例では、スリーブ3の軸方向一部、詳しくは軸方向中間位置から管挿入方向Nの奥側端部に亘って、スリーブ傾斜面32が膨出形成されるとともに、スリーブ傾斜面32よりも軸方向へ直線状に長く延びるすり割り(スリット)を周方向へ複数切欠形成している。
それにより、管体Bの挿入開始時は、管体Bの先端面の外周縁がスリーブ突起33の45度テーパー面と接触して管挿入方向Nへスリーブ3が押し込まれるものの、スリーブ傾斜面32とナット内傾斜面21の接触が解かれて、スリーブ突起33の拡径変形に伴って管体Bの先端面の外周縁がスリーブ突起33を押し上げながら通過し、管体Bが規定位置まで押し込まれた後、スプリング4により管抜け方向Uへ逆向きにスリーブ3が移動したならば、スリーブ突起33の縮径変形に伴ってその内端が管体Bの外表面に確実に食い込むように形成されている。
図示される例では、ニップル1の筒状部13と案内部14とで形成される空間の管挿入方向Nの奥側のバネ突き当り部と、スリーブ3において管挿入方向Nの手前側に配置されたバネ受けであるリング5との間に、スプリング4としてコイルバネを介装することにより、コイルバネの押圧力がスリーブ3に対し周方向へ均一に作用するようにしている。リング5はバネ受けとして機能すると共に、管挿入方向へ一定の厚みを有し、かつ、ナット2の内面に隙間なく当接しているため、ニップル1と完全に平行状態を保って往復動する。このため、スリーブ3もニップル1と完全に平行状態を保って往復動することになるため、スリーブ3が傾くようなことはない。
管体Bの具体例として、図示される例では単層構造のホースを用いている。また、その他の例として図示しないが、その透明又は不透明な外層と内層との間に中間層として、複数本か又は単数本の合成樹脂製ブレード(補強糸)が螺旋状に埋設される積層ホース(ブレードホース)や、中間層として合成樹脂製又は金属製の断面矩形などの帯状補強材と断面円形などの線状補強材を螺旋状に巻き付けて一体化した螺旋補強ホースや、金属製線材や硬質合成樹脂製線材を螺旋状に埋設した螺旋補強ホースなどを用いることも可能である。
本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aの接続工程について説明する。図4は、本発明の実施形態に係る管継手の全体構成を示す縦断正面図であり、(a)が管体の接続開始時を示し、(b)が管体の接続作業の途中の段階を示し、(c)が管体が管突き当り部まで押し込まれた接続完了の直前を示している。
図4(a)に示されるように、案内部14とスリーブ3との間に形成される挿入空間に向け、管体Bの接続端部を差し込むことで、先ず、管体Bの先端面がスリーブ3におけるスリーブ突起33の45度のテーパー面に突き当たり、この突き当たり状態を維持しながら管体Bを押し込むことで、スリーブ3のスリーブ傾斜面32がナット2のナット内傾斜面21に沿って摺動し、スリーブ突起33を含むスリーブ3全体がスプリング4の押圧力に抗して管挿入方向Nへ移動する。この際、作業がやり難いと感じた際には、スリーブ3の押圧部31を使って、作業者がスリーブ3の押し込みをアシストしてもよい。特に、強い抵抗を感じるときには、手でスリーブ3を押し込むようにした方がよい。その理由は、スリーブ突起33がOリング6の上部にある状態で管体Bを挿入すると、スリーブ突起33の45度テーパー面によって、管体Bがスリーブ突起33の内側に潜り込んだ際に管体Bの端部とOリング6が強く接触し、Oリング6がめくれ、流体漏れの原因となるからである。
一方、管体Bの挿入が完了して、管挿入方向Nへの摩擦力が解かれると、スリーブ3は、スプリング4の弾性により管抜け方向Uへ勢い良く押圧され、それに伴いスリーブ3が一気に縮径変形してスリーブ突起33の内端を管体Bの外表面に食い込ませ、管体Bが案内部14の外周面との間に管抜け方向Uへ移動不能に挟持される(図2(a)参照)。
このように、管体Bを挿入するという作業だけで、工具が不要でワンタッチかつスムーズに、かつ、確実に抜け不能な接続を完了させることができる。
次に、本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aの取り外し工程について説明する。従来の管継手は、スリーブがナット内に完全に収納されてしまっているため、これを管挿入方向Nへ押し込むことはできない。しかし、本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aでは、スリーブ3がニップル1と逆側の管抜け方向Uへナット2よりも延出される延長部を有し、かつ、延長部はフランジを有しており、これが押圧部31として機能するため、管体Bの接続が完了している状態であっても、スリーブ3を管挿入方向Nへ押し込むことができる。図2(b)は、スリーブ3が押し込まれた状態を示している。リング5は、ニップル1のリング逃げ部17に入り込めるようにされているため、よりスリーブ3を管挿入方向Nの奥側に押し込めるようになっている。スリーブ3が拡径されており、スリーブ突起33は管体Bには食い込んでいない。スリーブ3の押し込みを継続させたままで、管体Bを引けば、スリーブ突起33による抵抗が然程かかることはないので、管体Bを容易に引き抜くことができる。
本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aの止水構造について説明する。図5は、本発明の実施形態に係る管継手の全体構成を示す縦断正面図であり、(a)が管体の接続状態であって、(b)~(e)は、その後に管体の内圧が次第に高くなっていく時の状態の遷移を示している。また、図6は、図5の一部拡大図、具体的には、スリーブ突起33とOリング6との配置関係が分かる部分の図であって、(a)が管体の接続状態であって、(b)~(e)は、その後に管体の内圧が次第に高くなっていく時の状態の遷移を示している。なお、一部拡大図である図6においては、Oリング6を、管体の挿入方向奥側のもの及び手前側のものに分けて、それぞれOリング61及びOリング62として示している。
本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aでは、止水構造についても改良されている。特許文献1に示される管継手においては、スリーブが傾きながら移動する事態が生じ、管体とOリングを適正に圧縮できないことがあり、止水不足となることがあった。本発明の実施形態に係る管継手Aでは、そのような事態が生じないようにされている。図5及び6を用いて説明する。
管体Bの挿入後は、図6(a)に示されるように、スリーブ突起33が管体の挿入方向奥側のOリング61の上部に配置される。この時、スリーブ3は縮径されているため、スリーブ突起33が管体Bに食込み管体Bの抜け止めを行うと同時に管体BとOリング61を圧縮して、止水を行う。スプリング4がスリーブ3を押す際に、ナット2の内部でスリーブ3が傾く現象を抑えながら軸方向に移動できるよう、ナット2の内面に対して、リング5の外周面でガイドさせる。すなわち、ナット2の内面とリング5の外周面の平行面を利用して移動を安定させる。スリーブ突起33が管体の挿入方向奥側のOリング61の上部に配置された際に、スリーブ突起33とスリーブ突起33の間にOリング61があるような位置関係とすることで、万が一、スリーブ3に傾きなどが生じた場合でも管体BとOリング61を圧縮して、止水することができる。スリーブ突起33とスリーブ突起33の間にOリング61がない位置関係の場合は、スリーブ3に傾きが生じた際に管体BとOリング61を適正に圧縮できないことがあり、止水不足となり流体漏れの原因になる。管体B内に圧力が掛かると、管体Bが継手から引きぬかれようとする力がかかり、スプリング4のバネの力と合わせて、管体Bとスリーブ3が同時に管抜け方向Uへ移動する。図5(b)~(e)及び図6(b)~(e)には、管体Bの挿入完了後に、管体の挿入方向手前側へ向かって約1mmずつ移動する様子を段階的に示している。スリーブ突起33が管体Bに食込んでいるため管体Bとスリーブ3が一体となって移動するのである。この時、ナット内傾斜面21とスリーブ傾斜面32の接触によって、更にスリーブ3が縮径し、スリーブ突起33が管体Bの食込みが強くなることによって、管体Bの抜け止めを確実に行うと同時に管体BとOリング61の圧縮力が上がり、止水を行う。比較的低い圧力では、管体の挿入方向奥側のOリング61で止水されるが(図6(a)、(b)参照)、圧力が高くなるにつれて、管体Bが移動し、スリーブ3が縮径されると同時に管体の挿入方向手前側のOリング62を利用して止水を行うことになる(図6(e)参照)。スリーブ突起33の数やOリング6(すなわち、Oリング61、62)の数、Oリング6の弾性体の面積を増やすことも可能であるが、管体Bに圧力がかかった際に管体BはOリング6の上部を移動する必要があるところ、管体BとOリング6の摩擦抵抗、スリーブ傾斜面32とナット内傾斜面21の摩擦抵抗が増えるとスムーズに管体Bが移動せず、スリーブ3も縮径しないため、止水しにくくなることを考慮して、Oリング6の数や面積を設定する必要がある。
図7は、本発明の他の実施形態に係る管継手の全体構成を示す縦断正面図であり、(a)が管体の接続完了時であって、スリーブが縮径している様子を示し、(b)が管体の挿入されていない状態を示している。また、図8は、本発明の他の実施形態に係る管継手に用いられるスリーブであって、(a)が正面図であり、(b)が左斜視図であり、(c)が縦断正面図である。
ニップル1、ナット2、及びその構成要素、並びに、スプリング4、リング5、Oリング6の構成は、第1の実施形態と全く同じであり、スリーブ3’の構成のみが、第1の実施形態と異なっている。すなわち、スリーブ3’は、中間部は円筒で、この両端にスリーブ3’の径方向へ弾性的に拡径及び縮径変形させる弾性変形部が設けられている。ただし、スリーブ3’は、ニップル1と逆側の管抜け方向Uへナット2よりも延出されている点では、スリーブ3と共通しており、この延出された部分は通常状態で拡径されているため、この部分を押圧部31’として用いることができるのである。
そして、このようなスリーブ3’は、ナット2の何れの側からも組み付けが可能であるため、生産性を向上させることができる。
さらに、スリーブ交換性についても向上させることができる。先述したように、スリーブは使用とともに経年劣化する消耗部品であり、交換が必要となるのであるが、交換が必要となった際には、一旦、スリーブ3’を外して、逆向きにしてから、再度、ナット2に差し込めば、交換と同じ効果が得られるのである。リバーシブル構造には、このような有利な面がある。
