Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a joint body from being cracked. <P>SOLUTION: In a pipe joint 10, a press-fitting member 34 is locked to the joint body 14 with the tip of a thin-walled part 34A pressed to a cover ring 30. The press-fitting member 34 thereby receives resilience from the cover ring 30, while the cover ring 30 is formed of a resin material of lower hardness than the press-fitting member 34 in this pipe joint 10, therefore the cover ring 30 is deformed by the pressing to suppress the deformation of the press-fitting member 34. The resilience received by the press-fitting member 34 from the cover ring 30 is thereby reduced, and in consequence, a load input to the locking portion between the press-fitting member 34 and the joint body 14 (an abutting portion between a protrusion 34B and a side face of a press-fitting groove 16A) is reduced. As a result, stress applied to the press-fitting groove 16A is reduced to prevent the joint body 14 from being cracked from the press-fitting groove 16A as a starting point. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

本発明は、管体を接続するための管継手に関する。   The present invention relates to a pipe joint for connecting pipe bodies.

従来、管体（ホース）をワンタッチで接続可能な管継手が知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。この管継手は、管体が挿入される挿入孔が形成された継手本体を備えている。挿入孔の奥側には、管体の外周面に密着するシール部材が設けられており、このシール部材の手前側には、シール部材を継手本体に保持するためのリング部材（カバーリング）が設けられている。また、リング部材の手前側には、管体の外周面に引っ掛かるロック爪が設けられており、このロック爪の手前側には、ロック爪及びリング部材を継手本体に保持するためのスリーブ（圧入部材）が内挿されている。   Conventionally, a pipe joint that can connect a pipe body (hose) with one touch is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). This pipe joint includes a joint body in which an insertion hole into which a pipe body is inserted is formed. A seal member that is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tube body is provided on the back side of the insertion hole, and a ring member (cover ring) for holding the seal member on the joint body is provided on the front side of the seal member. Is provided. In addition, a lock claw that is caught on the outer peripheral surface of the pipe body is provided on the front side of the ring member, and a sleeve (press-fit) for holding the lock claw and the ring member on the joint body is provided on the front side of the lock claw. Member) is inserted.

このスリーブは、外周部に設けられた凸部が挿入孔の内周部に形成された周溝の側面に引っ掛かることで継手本体に係止されるようになっており、一端部がリング部材に押し付けられて僅かに潰れるようになっている。これにより、各部品間の隙間を無くすようにしている。   In this sleeve, the convex portion provided on the outer peripheral portion is hooked on the side surface of the circumferential groove formed in the inner peripheral portion of the insertion hole, so that one end portion is attached to the ring member. It is pressed and slightly crushed. This eliminates the gaps between the components.

特開２００９−１４１６６号公報JP 2009-14166 A

上述の如き管継手では、スリーブの一端部の潰れ方が不十分な場合には、スリーブがリング部材から大きな反発力を受けることがある。この反発力は、スリーブの凸部を介して継手本体の周溝の側面に入力されるため、この側面と周溝の底面との間の角部に応力が集中し、当該角部を起点として継手本体に亀裂が生じる可能性があった。   In the pipe joint as described above, when the one end of the sleeve is not sufficiently crushed, the sleeve may receive a large repulsive force from the ring member. Since this repulsive force is input to the side surface of the circumferential groove of the joint body through the convex portion of the sleeve, stress concentrates on the corner between the side surface and the bottom surface of the circumferential groove, and the corner is the starting point. The joint body could crack.

本発明は上記事実を考慮し、継手本体に亀裂が生じることを防止できる管継手を得ることを目的としている。   In view of the above facts, the present invention has an object to obtain a pipe joint capable of preventing the joint body from being cracked.

請求項１に記載の発明に係る管継手は、管体が挿入される挿入孔が形成された継手本体と、前記挿入孔内に収容される第１部材と、前記第１部材よりも高硬度の材料で形成され、前記挿入孔内に収容されると共に、前記第１部材に押し付けられた状態で前記継手本体に係止される第２部材と、を備えたことを特徴としている。   According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pipe joint including a joint main body having an insertion hole into which a pipe body is inserted, a first member accommodated in the insertion hole, and a hardness higher than that of the first member. And a second member that is received in the insertion hole and that is locked to the joint body while being pressed against the first member.

請求項１に記載の管継手では、第２部材が第１部材に押し付けられた状態で継手本体に係止される。この第２部材は、第１部材よりも高硬度の材料で形成されているため、第２部材が第１部材に押し付けられることで第１部材が変形し、第２部材の変形が抑制される。これにより、第２部材が第１部材から受ける反発力を小さくすることができるため、第２部材と継手本体との係止部分に生じる応力を小さくすることができる。これにより、継手本体に亀裂が生じることを防止できる。   In the pipe joint according to the first aspect, the second member is locked to the joint main body while being pressed against the first member. Since the second member is made of a material having higher hardness than the first member, the first member is deformed by pressing the second member against the first member, and the deformation of the second member is suppressed. . Thereby, since the repulsive force which a 2nd member receives from a 1st member can be made small, the stress which arises in the latching part of a 2nd member and a coupling main body can be made small. Thereby, it can prevent that a crack arises in a joint main part.

請求項２に記載の発明に係る管継手は、請求項１に記載の管継手において、前記第２部材は、前記第２部材は、外周部に設けられた凸部が、前記挿入孔の内周部に形成された溝の側面に引っ掛かることで前記継手本体に係止されると共に、前記側面と前記溝の底面との間が曲面状に形成されていることを特徴としている。   A pipe joint according to a second aspect of the present invention is the pipe joint according to the first aspect, wherein the second member has a convex portion provided on an outer peripheral portion of the insertion hole. It is characterized by being hooked to the side surface of the groove formed in the peripheral portion to be locked to the joint body and having a curved surface between the side surface and the bottom surface of the groove.

請求項２に記載の管継手では、第２部材の外周部に設けられた凸部が、継手本体の挿入孔の内周部に形成された溝の側面に引っ掛かることで、第２部材が継手本体に係止される。このため、第２部材が第１部材から受ける反発力は、第２部材の凸部を介して、継手本体の溝の側面に入力される。ここで、この側面と溝の底面との間は曲面状に形成されているため、両者の間に生じる応力を分散することができる。これにより、継手本体に亀裂が生じることを一層良好に防止することができる。   In the pipe joint according to claim 2, the convex part provided in the outer peripheral part of the 2nd member is caught in the side of the groove formed in the inner peripheral part of the insertion hole of a joint main part, and the 2nd member is a joint. Locked to the body. For this reason, the repulsive force which a 2nd member receives from a 1st member is input into the side surface of the groove | channel of a coupling main body via the convex part of a 2nd member. Here, since the space between the side surface and the bottom surface of the groove is formed in a curved surface, the stress generated between the two can be dispersed. Thereby, it can prevent much more that a crack arises in a joint main part.

以上説明したように、本発明に係る管継手では、継手本体に亀裂が生じることを防止できる。   As described above, in the pipe joint according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the joint body from being cracked.

本発明の実施形態に係る管継手の部分的な構成を示す断面図である。It is sectional drawing which shows the partial structure of the pipe joint which concerns on embodiment of this invention. 図１に示される管継手にビールホースが接続された状態を示す断面図である。It is sectional drawing which shows the state by which the beer hose was connected to the pipe joint shown by FIG. 図１に示される管継手の一部を拡大した拡大断面図である。It is the expanded sectional view which expanded a part of pipe joint shown by FIG. 従来の管継手の部分的な構成を示す図３に対応する拡大断面図である。It is an expanded sectional view corresponding to Drawing 3 showing the partial composition of the conventional pipe joint.

以下、図１〜図３を参照して、本発明の実施形態に係る管継手１０について説明する。本実施形態に係る管継手１０は、ビールを移送するためのビールホース１２（管体）を接続するための管継手であり、図１及び図２に示されるように継手本体１４を備えている（なお、図１及び図２では継手本体１４の一部のみが図示されている）。この継手本体１４は、樹脂材料によって形成されたものであり、筒状のホース連結部１６を有している。このホース連結部１６の内側は、ビールホース１２が挿入される挿入孔１８とされている。   Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-3, the pipe joint 10 which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated. The pipe joint 10 according to the present embodiment is a pipe joint for connecting a beer hose 12 (pipe body) for transferring beer, and includes a joint body 14 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. (Note that only a part of the joint body 14 is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2). The joint body 14 is formed of a resin material and has a cylindrical hose connection portion 16. The inside of the hose connecting portion 16 is an insertion hole 18 into which the beer hose 12 is inserted.

挿入孔１８の内周部は、複数段の段付き状に形成されており、軸線方向一端側（図１及び図２では左側）が大径部２０とされている。大径部２０は、軸線方向一端側が開口しており、大径部２０の軸線方向他端側（図１及び図２では右側）には、大径部２０よりも小径な中径部２２が設けられている。さらに、中径部２２の軸線方向他端側（図１及び図２では右側）には、中径部２２よりも小径な小径部２４が設けられており、小径部２４の軸線方向他端側（図１及び図２では右側）には、小径部２４よりも小径な流路２６が設けられている。なお、小径部２４の内径寸法は、ビールホース１２の外径寸法よりも僅かに大きく形成されている。   The inner peripheral portion of the insertion hole 18 is formed in a stepped shape having a plurality of steps, and one end side in the axial direction (left side in FIGS. 1 and 2) is a large diameter portion 20. The large-diameter portion 20 is open at one end in the axial direction, and the medium-diameter portion 22 having a smaller diameter than the large-diameter portion 20 is formed at the other axial end of the large-diameter portion 20 (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2). Is provided. Further, a small diameter portion 24 having a smaller diameter than the medium diameter portion 22 is provided on the other axial end side of the medium diameter portion 22 (on the right side in FIGS. 1 and 2). A flow path 26 having a diameter smaller than that of the small diameter portion 24 is provided (on the right side in FIGS. 1 and 2). In addition, the inner diameter dimension of the small diameter part 24 is formed slightly larger than the outer diameter dimension of the beer hose 12.

中径部２２の内側には、ゴム材によってリング状に形成されたシール部材２８が同軸的に嵌挿されている。シール部材２８は、大径部２０と小径部２４との間の段部によって軸線方向他側（図１及び図２では右側）への変位を制限されている。このシール部材２８は、挿入孔１８内に挿入されたビールホース１２の外周面に密着し、ビールホース１２と継手本体１４との間をシールする。   A seal member 28 formed in a ring shape with a rubber material is coaxially fitted inside the middle diameter portion 22. The seal member 28 is limited in displacement to the other side in the axial direction (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2) by a step portion between the large diameter portion 20 and the small diameter portion 24. The seal member 28 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose 12 inserted into the insertion hole 18 and seals between the beer hose 12 and the joint body 14.

一方、大径部２０の内側には、樹脂材料によってリング状に形成されたカバーリング３０（第１部材）が収容されている。カバーリング３０は、大径部２０の内側に同軸的に嵌挿されており、大径部２０と中径部２２との間の段部３２に当接した状態で配置されている。カバーリング３０の内径寸法は、中径部２２の内径寸法よりも小さく形成されており、シール部材２８は、カバーリング３０によって軸線方向一側（図１では左側）への変位を制限されている。   On the other hand, a cover ring 30 (first member) formed in a ring shape from a resin material is accommodated inside the large diameter portion 20. The cover ring 30 is coaxially fitted inside the large-diameter portion 20 and is disposed in contact with the stepped portion 32 between the large-diameter portion 20 and the medium-diameter portion 22. The inner diameter dimension of the cover ring 30 is smaller than the inner diameter dimension of the medium diameter portion 22, and the seal member 28 is restricted from being displaced to one side in the axial direction (left side in FIG. 1) by the cover ring 30. .

さらに、大径部２０の内側には、カバーリング３０よりも硬質な樹脂材料によって円筒状に形成された圧入部材３４（第２部材）が設けられている。なお、カバーリング３０と圧入部材３４の硬度は、ビッカース硬度により比較することができる。   Further, a press-fitting member 34 (second member) formed in a cylindrical shape by a resin material harder than the cover ring 30 is provided inside the large diameter portion 20. The hardness of the cover ring 30 and the press-fitting member 34 can be compared by Vickers hardness.

この圧入部材３４は、カバーリング３０に対して挿入孔１８の開口側（図１では左側）に配置されており、大径部２０の内側に同軸的に嵌挿されている。この圧入部材３４は、軸線方向他端側（図１及び図２では右側）で内径寸法がテーパー状に拡大しており、軸線方向他端部が薄肉な薄肉部３４Ａとされている。   The press-fitting member 34 is disposed on the opening side (left side in FIG. 1) of the insertion hole 18 with respect to the cover ring 30, and is coaxially fitted inside the large-diameter portion 20. The press-fitting member 34 has an inner diameter dimension that is increased in a tapered shape on the other end side in the axial direction (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2), and the other end in the axial direction is a thin portion 34A.

また、圧入部材３４の外周部には、断面略台形状に形成された凸部３４Ｂが設けられている。この凸部３４Ｂは、大径部２０の内周部に形成された圧入溝１６Ａ（周溝）内に嵌り込んでいる。この圧入溝１６Ａは、図３に示されるように、断面略台形状に形成されており、ホース連結部１６の径方向内側を向いた底面３６と、ホース連結部１６の軸線方向に対向する側面３８、４０とを備えている。また、この圧入溝１６Ａでは、一方の側面３８（挿入孔１８の開口側の側面、図１〜図３では左側の側面）と、底面３６との間が曲面状の曲面部４２とされている。   Further, a convex portion 34 </ b> B having a substantially trapezoidal cross section is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the press-fitting member 34. The convex portion 34B is fitted into a press-fit groove 16A (circumferential groove) formed in the inner peripheral portion of the large diameter portion 20. As shown in FIG. 3, the press-fitting groove 16 </ b> A has a substantially trapezoidal cross section, and has a bottom surface 36 that faces the radially inner side of the hose connecting portion 16 and a side surface that faces the axial direction of the hose connecting portion 16. 38, 40. Further, in this press-fit groove 16A, a curved surface portion 42 between the one side surface 38 (the side surface on the opening side of the insertion hole 18 and the left side surface in FIGS. 1 to 3) and the bottom surface 36 is formed as a curved surface. .

この圧入溝１６Ａ内に嵌り込んだ凸部３４Ｂは、上記一方の側面３８に引っ掛かっている（当接している）。これにより、圧入部材３４は、薄肉部３４Ａ（図１及び図２参照）の先端がカバーリング３０に押し付けられた状態で継手本体１４に係止されている。すなわち、圧入部材３４は、薄肉部３４Ａの先端がカバーリング３０に当接した状態から更に挿入孔１８の奥側へ圧入されなければ、凸部３４Ｂが圧入溝１６Ａ内に嵌り込まないように長さ寸法が設定されている。このため、上記係止状態では、圧入部材３４がカバーリング３０から受ける反発力によって、凸部３４Ｂが側面３８に押し付けられている。また、カバーリング３０は、挿入孔１８内の段部３２と、圧入部材３４との間で変位不能に保持されており、カバーリング３０と段部３２とが隙間無く密着すると共に、圧入部材３４とカバーリング３０とが隙間無く密着している。   The convex portion 34B fitted in the press-fitting groove 16A is hooked (abuts) on the one side surface 38. Thereby, the press-fitting member 34 is locked to the joint body 14 in a state where the tip of the thin portion 34 </ b> A (see FIGS. 1 and 2) is pressed against the cover ring 30. That is, the press-fitting member 34 is long so that the convex portion 34B does not fit into the press-fitting groove 16A unless it is further press-fitted into the insertion hole 18 from the state where the tip of the thin portion 34A is in contact with the cover ring 30. The dimension is set. For this reason, in the locked state, the convex portion 34 </ b> B is pressed against the side surface 38 by the repulsive force that the press-fitting member 34 receives from the cover ring 30. Further, the cover ring 30 is held so as not to be displaceable between the step portion 32 in the insertion hole 18 and the press-fit member 34, and the cover ring 30 and the step portion 32 are in close contact with each other with no gap, and the press-fit member 34. And the cover ring 30 are in close contact with each other without a gap.

一方、圧入部材３４の薄肉部３４Ａの内側には、バネ性を有する金属材料によってリング状に形成されたロック爪４４が同軸的に配置されている。ロック爪４４は、圧入部材３４とカバーリング３０との間で軸線方向に変位不能に保持されている。このロック爪４４は、断面略Ｖ字状に形成されており、撓み変形することで内径寸法を拡径可能とされている。このロック爪４４の自然状態での内径寸法は、ビールホース１２の外径寸法よりも僅かに小さく形成されている。   On the other hand, inside the thin portion 34A of the press-fitting member 34, a lock claw 44 formed in a ring shape by a metal material having a spring property is coaxially disposed. The lock claw 44 is held between the press-fitting member 34 and the cover ring 30 so as not to be displaced in the axial direction. The lock claw 44 has a substantially V-shaped cross section, and can be expanded in diameter by bending and deforming. The inner diameter dimension of the lock claw 44 in the natural state is slightly smaller than the outer diameter dimension of the beer hose 12.

また、圧入部材３４の内側には、ロック爪４４を撓ませるための解除リング４６が設けられている。この解除リング４６は、薄肉円筒状に形成されており、圧入部材３４の内側に同軸的に嵌合している。この解除リング４６は、圧入部材３４に対して所定の範囲内で軸線方向に相対移動可能とされており、図示しない特殊工具によって圧入部材３４の軸線方向他端側へ押し込まれるようになっている。解除リング４６が圧入部材３４の軸線方向他端側へ押し込まれると、解除リング４６の軸線方向端部がロック爪４４の内周部の傾斜と摺接し、これにより、ロック爪４４の内径寸法が拡大するようになっている。この解除リング４６の内径寸法は、ビールホース１２の内径寸法よりも僅かに大きく形成されている。   A release ring 46 for bending the lock claw 44 is provided inside the press-fitting member 34. The release ring 46 is formed in a thin cylindrical shape and is coaxially fitted inside the press-fit member 34. The release ring 46 can be moved relative to the press-fit member 34 in the axial direction within a predetermined range, and is pushed into the other end in the axial direction of the press-fit member 34 by a special tool (not shown). . When the release ring 46 is pushed into the other end in the axial direction of the press-fitting member 34, the end in the axial direction of the release ring 46 comes into sliding contact with the inclination of the inner peripheral portion of the lock claw 44. It has come to expand. The inner diameter dimension of the release ring 46 is slightly larger than the inner diameter dimension of the beer hose 12.

上記構成の管継手１０では、圧入部材３４の軸線方向一端側（図１では左側）の開口が、ビールホース１２を挿入するための挿入口４８とされている。   In the pipe joint 10 having the above-described configuration, an opening on one end side in the axial direction of the press-fitting member 34 (left side in FIG. 1) is an insertion port 48 for inserting the beer hose 12.

次に、本実施形態の作用及び効果について説明する。   Next, the operation and effect of this embodiment will be described.

上記構成の管継手１０では、ビールホース１２の長手方向一端側が挿入口４８から挿入孔１８内へ挿入されると、ビールホース１２の外周面がロック爪４４と摺接しながらビールホース１２が挿入孔１８の奥側（図１及び図２では右側）へ挿入される。そして、図２に示されるように、ビールホース１２の一端部が小径部２４と流路２６との間の段部に当接すると、ビールホース１２をそれ以上挿入することができなくなり、ビールホース１２が管継手１０に接続された状態になる。   In the pipe joint 10 having the above configuration, when one end in the longitudinal direction of the beer hose 12 is inserted into the insertion hole 18 from the insertion port 48, the beer hose 12 is inserted into the insertion hole while the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose 12 is in sliding contact with the lock claw 44. 18 is inserted into the back side (right side in FIGS. 1 and 2). As shown in FIG. 2, when one end of the beer hose 12 comes into contact with the step portion between the small diameter portion 24 and the flow path 26, the beer hose 12 cannot be inserted any more, and the beer hose 12 is connected to the pipe joint 10.

この状態では、シール部材２８がビールホースの外周面に密着することで、ビールホース１２と管継手１０との間がシールされる。また、ロック爪４４の内周側端部がビールホース１２の外周面に引っ掛かることで、管継手１０からのビールホース１２の離脱が阻止される。この状態で、ビールホース１２内に液体（ビール）が流れて内圧が作用すると、ビールホース１２が管継手１０から抜ける方向の力を受けて挿入口４８側へ若干移動し、ロック爪４４の内周側端部がビールホース１２の外周面に食い込む。これにより、ロック爪４４によるビールホース１２の把持力が大きくなり、管継手１０とビールホース１２とが強固に連結される。   In this state, the seal member 28 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose, so that the space between the beer hose 12 and the pipe joint 10 is sealed. Further, the inner peripheral side end of the lock claw 44 is caught on the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose 12, so that the beer hose 12 is prevented from being detached from the pipe joint 10. In this state, when a liquid (beer) flows into the beer hose 12 and an internal pressure is applied, the beer hose 12 is slightly moved to the insertion port 48 side in response to a force in the direction of pulling out from the pipe joint 10, The peripheral end bites into the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose 12. Thereby, the gripping force of the beer hose 12 by the lock claw 44 is increased, and the pipe joint 10 and the beer hose 12 are firmly connected.

一方、管継手１０からビールホース１２を取り外す際には、圧入部材３４の内周面とビールホース１２の外周面との間に図示しない特殊工具を挿入し、解除リング４６を管継手１０の奥側へ押し込む。管継手１０の奥側へ押し込まれた解除リング４６は、ロック爪４４の内周部の斜面と摺接し、ロック爪４４の内周部を拡径方向に撓ませる。これにより、ビールホース１２の外周面に対するロック爪４４の引っ掛かりが解除され、管継手１０からのビールホース１２の取り外しが可能になる。   On the other hand, when removing the beer hose 12 from the pipe joint 10, a special tool (not shown) is inserted between the inner peripheral surface of the press-fitting member 34 and the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose 12, and the release ring 46 is connected to the back of the pipe joint 10. Push to the side. The release ring 46 pushed into the inner side of the pipe joint 10 is in sliding contact with the slope of the inner peripheral portion of the lock claw 44 and bends the inner peripheral portion of the lock claw 44 in the diameter increasing direction. Thereby, the hook of the lock claw 44 with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the beer hose 12 is released, and the beer hose 12 can be detached from the pipe joint 10.

ここで、本実施形態に係る管継手１０では、圧入部材３４は、薄肉部３４Ａの先端がカバーリング３０に押し付けられた状態で継手本体１４に係止されている。このため、圧入部材３４は、カバーリング３０から反発力を受けているが（図３の矢印Ｆ参照）、本実施形態では、カバーリング３０が圧入部材３４よりも低硬度の樹脂材料で形成されているため、上述の押し付けによってカバーリング３０が変形し（潰れ）、圧入部材３４の変形が抑制される。これにより、圧入部材３４がカバーリング３０から受ける反発力が低減されるため、圧入部材３４と継手本体１４との係止部分（凸部３４Ｂと圧入溝１６Ａの側面３８との当接部分）に入力される荷重が低減される。これにより、圧入溝１６Ａに加わる応力が低減されるため、圧入溝１６Ａを起点として継手本体１４に亀裂が生じることを防止できる。   Here, in the pipe joint 10 according to the present embodiment, the press-fitting member 34 is locked to the joint body 14 in a state where the tip of the thin portion 34A is pressed against the cover ring 30. For this reason, the press-fit member 34 receives a repulsive force from the cover ring 30 (see arrow F in FIG. 3), but in this embodiment, the cover ring 30 is formed of a resin material having a lower hardness than the press-fit member 34. Therefore, the cover ring 30 is deformed (collapsed) by the above-described pressing, and deformation of the press-fitting member 34 is suppressed. As a result, the repulsive force that the press-fitting member 34 receives from the cover ring 30 is reduced. The input load is reduced. Thereby, since the stress applied to the press-fit groove 16A is reduced, it is possible to prevent the joint body 14 from being cracked starting from the press-fit groove 16A.

しかも、本実施形態では、図３に示されるように、圧入溝１６Ａの側面３８と底面３６との間が曲面状の曲面部４２とされている。このため、図４に示される従来品（比較例）のように、側面３８と底面３６との間の角部５０に応力が集中することがなく、側面３８と底面３６との間に加わる応力が曲面部４２によって分散される。したがって、継手本体１４に亀裂が生じることを一層良好に防止することができる。   In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a curved curved surface portion 42 is formed between the side surface 38 and the bottom surface 36 of the press-fit groove 16 </ b> A. Therefore, unlike the conventional product (comparative example) shown in FIG. 4, the stress is not concentrated on the corner portion 50 between the side surface 38 and the bottom surface 36, and the stress applied between the side surface 38 and the bottom surface 36. Are dispersed by the curved surface portion 42. Therefore, it is possible to more effectively prevent the joint body 14 from being cracked.

なお、上記実施形態では、本発明がビール移送用のビールホース１２を接続するための管継手１０に対して適用された場合について説明したが、これに限らず、本発明は圧入部材（第２部材）がカバーリング（第１部材）に対して押し付けられた状態で継手本体に係止される構成の管継手であれば適用することができる。   In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where this invention was applied with respect to the pipe joint 10 for connecting the beer hose 12 for beer transfer, not only this but this invention is a press-fitting member (2nd A pipe joint having a configuration in which the member is locked to the joint body in a state where the member is pressed against the cover ring (first member) can be applied.

また、上記実施形態では、圧入溝１６Ａの側面３８と底面３６との間に、曲面状の曲面部４２が設けられた構成にしたが、本発明はこれに限らず、曲面部４２が省略された構成（側面３８と底面３６との間に角部５０が設けられた構成）にしてもよい。この場合でも、カバーリング３０が圧入部材よりも低硬度の材料で形成されることによって、継手本体１４に亀裂が生じることを防止できる。   In the above embodiment, the curved curved surface portion 42 is provided between the side surface 38 and the bottom surface 36 of the press-fit groove 16A. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the curved surface portion 42 is omitted. A configuration (a configuration in which the corner portion 50 is provided between the side surface 38 and the bottom surface 36) may be employed. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the joint body 14 from being cracked by forming the cover ring 30 with a material having a hardness lower than that of the press-fitting member.

以上、実施形態を挙げて本発明について説明したが、上記実施形態は一例であり、要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々変更して実施できる。また、本発明の権利範囲が上記実施形態に限定されないことは言うまでもない。   The present invention has been described with reference to the embodiment. However, the above embodiment is merely an example, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention. Needless to say, the scope of rights of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
