Description

本発明は、アース線などの導電線が内部に設けられた可撓管に関する。 The present invention relates to a flexible tube in which a conductive wire such as a ground wire is provided.

従来、この種の可撓管として、ポリウレタンにより形成された内面層と外面層との間に、補強層とアース線とが設けられ、アース線がスパイラルに巻かれてホース層内に埋設され、アース線の端部をホースの端部から突出して電気的に接続することにより、静電気を排除してホース内への帯電を防止するようにした研掃材のブラストホースがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, as a flexible tube of this kind, a reinforcing layer and an earth wire are provided between an inner surface layer and an outer surface layer formed of polyurethane, and the earth wire is spirally wound and embedded in the hose layer, There is a blast hose of a cleaning/cleaning material that is configured to eliminate static electricity and prevent charging inside the hose by electrically connecting the end of the ground wire protruding from the end of the hose (for example, Patent Document 1). 1).

実公平０７−００４１２２号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 07-004122

ところで、ホースの端部からアース線の端部を突出させてアース接続するには、ニッパーやハサミなどを用いてホースの端部からアース線のみを取り出す必要がある。
しかし乍ら、このような従来の可撓管では、ホース層内にアース線が埋設されるため、アース線の周囲からホース層の構成材料（ポリウレタン）を取り除かなければならず、この分離作業が困難で、分離作業に手間取るという問題があった。
特にホース層を構成する内面層と外面層の間にアース線が埋設される場合には、内面層と外面層が剥離しないように強固に接着されるため、内面層及び外面層の構成材料であるポリウレタンがアース線と固着しており、アース線の表面からポリウレタンを取り除くことが非常に困難であった。アース線の表面からポリウレタンを無理に取り外そうと引っ張ると、アース線も一緒に引きちぎれることがあった。
これを防止するために、ハサミやニッパー等を用いて、アース線の表面に固着したポリウレタンをギリギリまで取り除こうとすると、誤ってアース線を切ってしまうこともあり、アース線を容易に取り出すことができなかった。 By the way, in order to project the end of the ground wire from the end of the hose to connect to the ground, it is necessary to take out only the ground wire from the end of the hose by using nippers or scissors.
However, in such a conventional flexible tube, since the ground wire is buried in the hose layer, the constituent material (polyurethane) of the hose layer must be removed from the periphery of the ground wire, and this separation work is It was difficult, and there was a problem that separation work was time-consuming.
Especially when the ground wire is embedded between the inner surface layer and the outer surface layer that compose the hose layer, the inner surface layer and the outer surface layer are firmly adhered to each other so as not to peel off. It was very difficult to remove the polyurethane from the surface of the ground wire because some polyurethane was stuck to the ground wire. When pulling forcibly to remove the polyurethane from the surface of the ground wire, the ground wire was sometimes torn off together.
To prevent this, if you try to remove the polyurethane stuck to the surface of the ground wire to the last minute using scissors, nippers, etc., you may accidentally cut the ground wire, so you can easily take out the ground wire. could not.

このような課題を解決するために本発明に係る可撓管は、管本体の層内に設けられた導電線の先端部を管本体の端面から突出して電気的に接続される可撓管であって、軸方向へ連続して形成される前記管本体と、前記管本体の前記層内に軸方向へ設けられて前記管本体の前記端面から突出する前記先端部を有する前記導電線と、前記導電線の周囲に前記管本体の前記層と非粘着な材料で形成される被覆層と、を備え、前記被覆層は、前記管本体の前記層と前記導電線との境界面に配置されることを特徴とする。 In order to solve such a problem, the flexible tube according to the present invention is a flexible tube that is electrically connected by projecting a tip end of a conductive wire provided in a layer of a tube body from an end surface of the tube body. There, the tube body is formed continuously in the axial direction, the conductive wire provided in the layer of the tube body in the axial direction and having the tip portion protruding from the end surface of the tube body, A coating layer formed of a non-adhesive material around the conductive wire is provided around the conductive wire, and the coating layer is disposed on an interface between the layer of the tube main body and the conductive wire. It is characterized by that.

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可撓管Ａは、図１〜図２に示すように、管本体１の層内に設けられた導電線２の先端部２ａを管本体１の端面１ａから突出させ、管継手などの導電体（図示しない）に対して導電線２の先端部２ａが電気的に接続されるものである。
詳しく説明すると、本発明の実施形態に係る可撓管Ａは、軸方向へ連続して形成される管本体１と、管本体１の層内に設けられる導電線２と、導電線２の周囲に形成される被覆層３と、を主要な構成要素として備えている。
さらに、管本体１の層内に設けられる補強線材４を備えることが好ましい。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a flexible tube A according to an embodiment of the present invention has a tip portion 2a of a conductive wire 2 provided in a layer of a tube body 1 protruding from an end surface 1a of the tube body 1. The tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 is electrically connected to a conductor (not shown) such as a pipe joint.
More specifically, the flexible tube A according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a tube body 1 continuously formed in the axial direction, a conductive wire 2 provided in a layer of the tube body 1, and a periphery of the conductive wire 2. And the coating layer 3 formed on the above.
Furthermore, it is preferable to include a reinforcing wire 4 provided in the layer of the pipe body 1.

可撓管Ａの管本体１は、例えば塩化ビニルやポリウレタンなどの軟質合成樹脂か、又はシリコーンゴムやその他のゴムなどの軟質材料で変形可能な管状に形成された例えばホースやチューブなどの可撓性を有する管体である。
管本体１は、径方向に重なり合う複数の層を有する複数層構造や多層構造か、又は単層構造に形成される。
管本体１の製造方法としては、押出し成形や共押出し成形などにより層を作成することが好ましい。
管本体１の具体例として図１〜図２に示される場合には、内層１１，外層１２を有する二層構造である。図示例の場合には、透明や半透明な軟質合成樹脂又はシリコーンゴムなどの軟質材料からなる内層１１と外層１２を、押出成形などにより積層して一体化している。
内層１１と外層１２の間には、後述する導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４を配置している。
また、その他の例として図示しないが、管本体１として二層構造に代え三層以上の多層構造や単層構造に変更することや、不透明な軟質材料で形成することや、内層１１及び外層１２の間に後述する導電線２及び被覆層３のみを配置するなどの変更が可能である。 The tube body 1 of the flexible tube A is made of a flexible synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride or polyurethane, or a flexible material such as silicone rubber or other rubber. It is a tubular body with properties.
The tube body 1 is formed in a multi-layer structure or a multi-layer structure having a plurality of radially overlapping layers, or a single-layer structure.
As a method of manufacturing the tube body 1, it is preferable to form a layer by extrusion molding, coextrusion molding, or the like.
In the case shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as a specific example of the tube body 1, it has a two-layer structure having an inner layer 11 and an outer layer 12. In the case of the illustrated example, an inner layer 11 and an outer layer 12 made of a soft material such as transparent or translucent soft synthetic resin or silicone rubber are laminated and integrated by extrusion molding or the like.
Between the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12, a conductive wire 2, a coating layer 3 and a reinforcing wire 4 which will be described later are arranged.
Although not shown as other examples, the tube body 1 may be replaced with a two-layer structure by a multilayer structure of three or more layers or a single layer structure, formed by an opaque soft material, the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12. It is possible to make changes such as disposing only the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 which will be described later.

導電線２は、電気伝導性を有する導電材料で管本体１の軸方向へ連続するように形成され、その軸方向の両側に管本体１の端面１ａから突出する先端部２ａを有している。
導電線２の具体例としては、金属繊維や金属箔の撚り糸，金属線などが用いられる。
管本体１の端面１ａから突出した導電線２の先端部２ａは、管継手などの導電体（図示しない）に対し電気的に接続されることにより、導電線２をアース線やその他の電線として用いることが可能になる。 The conductive wire 2 is formed of a conductive material having electrical conductivity so as to be continuous in the axial direction of the tube body 1, and has tip portions 2a protruding from the end surface 1a of the tube body 1 on both sides in the axial direction. ..
As a specific example of the conductive wire 2, a twisted yarn of metal fiber or metal foil, a metal wire, or the like is used.
The tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 protruding from the end surface 1a of the pipe body 1 is electrically connected to a conductor (not shown) such as a pipe joint, so that the conductive wire 2 serves as a ground wire or other electric wire. Can be used.

被覆層３は、管本体１の層と非粘着な材料からなり、管本体１の層と導電線２との境界面に、導電線２の表面２ｂに形成され、管本体１の層内に埋め込んで配置される。
被覆層３を構成する管本体１の層（軟質合成樹脂又はシリコーンゴムなどの軟質材料）と非粘着な材料としては、例えばシリコーン系や非シリコーン系の剥離剤，シリコーン系やフッ素系などの離型剤，界面活性剤，鉱物油，又はこれらと類似した材料か、若しくはこれらの組みあわせた材料などが用いられる。これにより、管本体１の層を構成する軟質材料に対する導電線２の表面２ｂの摩擦力（摩擦抵抗）が低下して、両者の非粘着性と導電線２の摺動性が付与される。
さらに管本体１が複数の層を有する複数層構造や多層構造の場合には、管本体１となる複数の層の間に、被覆層３となる非粘着な材料で覆った導電線２を埋設することが好ましい。この場合には、被覆層３となる非粘着な材料として流動可能な液状体などを用いることが好ましい。特にシリコーンオイルなどの粘性（粘度）が高い液状体が好ましい。
つまり、本発明の実施形態に係る可撓管Ａの製造方法としては、被覆層３となる非粘着な材料を導電線２の表面２ｂに塗布するか又は含浸させるなどの処理により、表面２ｂが非粘着な材料で覆われた状態の導電線２を、複数の層の間に埋設することが好ましい。
図示例のように導電線２及び被覆層３を複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に埋設する場合には、被覆層３となる非粘着な材料を導電線２の表面２ｂと複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）にそれぞれ密着させることが好ましい。これにより、切断した管本体１の端面１ａから液体が複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に浸入しないように防水処理して剥離防止される。 The coating layer 3 is made of a material that is non-adhesive to the layer of the tube body 1, is formed on the surface 2b of the conductive wire 2 at the boundary surface between the layer of the tube body 1 and the conductive wire 2, and is formed in the layer of the tube body 1. It is embedded and placed.
Examples of materials that are non-adhesive to the layers of the tube body 1 (soft materials such as soft synthetic resin or silicone rubber) that constitute the coating layer 3 include silicone-based and non-silicone-based release agents, and silicone-based and fluorine-based release agents. A mold agent, a surfactant, a mineral oil, a material similar to these, or a material combining these is used. As a result, the frictional force (friction resistance) of the surface 2b of the conductive wire 2 with respect to the soft material forming the layer of the tube body 1 is reduced, and the non-adhesiveness of both and the slidability of the conductive wire 2 are imparted.
Further, in the case where the tube body 1 has a multi-layer structure or a multi-layer structure having a plurality of layers, the conductive wire 2 covered with a non-adhesive material serving as the coating layer 3 is embedded between the plurality of layers serving as the tube body 1. Preferably. In this case, it is preferable to use a fluid liquid or the like as the non-adhesive material for the coating layer 3. In particular, a liquid having a high viscosity such as silicone oil is preferable.
That is, in the method for manufacturing the flexible tube A according to the embodiment of the present invention, the surface 2b is treated by applying or impregnating the surface 2b of the conductive wire 2 with a non-adhesive material to be the coating layer 3. It is preferable to embed the conductive wire 2 covered with the non-adhesive material between the plurality of layers.
When the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 are embedded between a plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) as in the illustrated example, a non-adhesive material for the coating layer 3 is formed on the surface 2b of the conductive wire 2 and a plurality of non-adhesive materials. It is preferable that the layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) are brought into close contact with each other. Thereby, the liquid is waterproofed so as to prevent the liquid from entering between the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) from the cut end surface 1a of the pipe body 1, and the liquid is prevented from peeling.

補強線材４としては、管本体１の層構成材料よりも硬質な材料、例えばポリエステルやナイロン（登録商標）やアラミドなどの合成樹脂製繊維からなる補強糸４ａ，４ｂが主に用いられる。
補強糸４ａ，４ｂとしては、複数本の細い合成樹脂製繊維を撚り合わせたマルチフィラメント、一本の合成樹脂製繊維からなるモノフィラメント（monofilament:単繊維）、テープ状の合成樹脂製繊維からなるフラットヤーン（又はテープヤーン）などがある。
図示例のように補強線材４を複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に埋設する場合には、補強線材４に加えて導電線２が配置された後に、接着剤をスプレー塗布やディップコーティングなどの公知手段で塗布して複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）と密着させることが好ましい。
これにより、切断した管本体１の端面１ａから液体が導電線２及び補強線材４を伝わって、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に浸入しないように処理して剥離防止される。また塗布した接着剤により複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）が強固に密着される。 As the reinforcing wire 4, a material harder than the layer-constituting material of the tube body 1, for example, reinforcing threads 4a and 4b made of synthetic resin fiber such as polyester, nylon (registered trademark), or aramid are mainly used.
As the reinforcing threads 4a and 4b, a multifilament in which a plurality of thin synthetic resin fibers are twisted together, a monofilament made of one synthetic resin fiber, and a flat made of a tape-shaped synthetic resin fiber Yarn (or tape yarn).
When the reinforcing wire 4 is embedded between a plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) as in the illustrated example, after the conductive wire 2 is arranged in addition to the reinforcing wire 4, the adhesive is sprayed or dip-coated. It is preferable to apply it by a known means such as coating and bring it into close contact with a plurality of layers (inner layer 11, outer layer 12).
Thus, the liquid is transmitted from the cut end surface 1a of the tube body 1 through the conductive wire 2 and the reinforcing wire 4 and is treated so as not to enter between the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) to prevent separation. Further, the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) are firmly adhered by the applied adhesive.

導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の配置方向は、管本体１の軸方向へ螺旋状に巻き付けることや、管本体１の軸方向へ直線状に配置することなどが挙げられる。
導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の螺旋巻き形態には、管本体１の軸方向へ単数ずつが所定ピッチで螺旋状に巻回される単条巻きや、軸方向へ離れた複数組を所定ピッチで螺旋状に巻回する複条巻きなどがある。
導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の配置方法としては、押出し成形や共押出し成形などによる管本体１の層作成と同時に、導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４を螺旋状に巻き付けることが好ましい。
特に導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４を螺旋状に巻き付ける場合には、管本体１の軸線に対する導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の傾斜角度を小さく設定することが好ましい。
一般的に理想的な導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の傾斜角度は、約１０９度であるが、具体例としては約８０度〜１００度、詳しくは８５〜９５度が望ましい。これに対して、導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の傾斜角度が８５度未満の場合には、圧力変動時に可撓管Ａの伸縮が大きくなる。また導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の傾斜角度が９５度を越える場合には、導電線２が取り出し難くなる。 The conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 may be arranged in a spiral manner in the axial direction of the tube body 1, or in a straight line in the axial direction of the tube body 1.
The conductive wire 2 and the covering layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 may be spirally wound in the axial direction of the tube body 1 in a single winding spirally at a predetermined pitch, or in a plurality of sets separated in the axial direction. There is a double-strand winding in which is wound spirally at a predetermined pitch.
As a method for arranging the conductive wire 2, the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4, the conductive wire 2, the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 are spirally wound at the same time when the layer of the tube body 1 is formed by extrusion molding or coextrusion molding. It is preferable.
In particular, when the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 are spirally wound, it is preferable to set the inclination angle of the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 with respect to the axis of the tube body 1 to be small.
Generally, the ideal angle of inclination between the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 is about 109 degrees, but as a specific example, it is preferably about 80 degrees to 100 degrees, specifically 85 to 95 degrees. On the other hand, when the inclination angle between the conductive wire 2, the coating layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 is less than 85 degrees, the flexible tube A expands and contracts greatly when the pressure changes. Further, when the inclination angle of the conductive wire 2 and the covering layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 exceeds 95 degrees, it becomes difficult to take out the conductive wire 2.

導電線２及び被覆層３と補強線材４の具体例として図１〜図２に示される場合には、補強線材４として螺旋巻き方向が逆向きな複数の補強糸４ａ，４ｂを軸方向へ所定ピッチでずらしながら巻回している。これにより、内層１１と外層１２の間に沿って螺旋状に編組した補強層（網状のブレード構造）が形成される。補強糸４ａ，４ｂのいずれかを導電線２及び被覆層３に置き換えることで、導電線２及び被覆層３が螺旋状に巻き付けられている。
また、その他の例として図示しないが、補強層として網状のブレード構造をマルチフィラメントやモノフィラメントやフラットヤーンに代えることや、ニット編み構造に代えるなどの変更も可能である。 When the conductive wire 2 and the covering layer 3 and the reinforcing wire 4 are shown as specific examples in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plurality of reinforcing yarns 4 a and 4 b whose spiral winding directions are opposite to each other are predetermined in the axial direction as the reinforcing wire 4. Winding while shifting the pitch. As a result, a reinforcing layer (braided braid structure) braided in a spiral shape is formed between the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12. By replacing either one of the reinforcing threads 4a and 4b with the conductive wire 2 and the covering layer 3, the conductive wire 2 and the covering layer 3 are spirally wound.
Although not shown as another example, it is possible to change the braided braid structure as a reinforcing layer to a multifilament, a monofilament, or a flat yarn, or a knitted structure.

次に、本発明の実施形態に係る可撓管Ａにおいて管本体１が導電線２を除いて切断され、管本体１の層内に設けられた導電線２の先端部２ａを管本体１の端面（切断面）１ａから突出させる方法について説明する。
図２に示される切断方法では、持ち運び可能な手持ち式の管切断具Ｂを用いている。
管切断具Ｂは、従来周知のニッパーと同様な構造を有している。すなわち管切断具Ｂは、可撓管Ａ（管本体１）を径方向へ挟み込むように対向して設けられる一対の切断刃Ｂ１と、一対の切断刃Ｂ１を移動自在に支持するジョイント部Ｂ２と、一対の切断刃Ｂ１に連続して形成されるグリップ部（図示しない）と、を主要な構成要素として備えている。
一対の切断刃Ｂ１は、管本体１の外径寸法や、一対の切断刃Ｂ１で管本体１を平滑状に押し潰した時の幅寸法よりも長い幅寸法に設定され、管本体１において導電線２を除いた箇所のみ切断するための凹状部Ｂ３を有している。 Next, in the flexible tube A according to the embodiment of the present invention, the tube main body 1 is cut except for the conductive wire 2, and the tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 provided in the layer of the tube main body 1 is removed. A method of projecting from the end surface (cut surface) 1a will be described.
In the cutting method shown in FIG. 2, a portable hand-held pipe cutting tool B is used.
The pipe cutting tool B has a structure similar to that of a conventionally known nipper. That is, the tube cutting tool B includes a pair of cutting blades B1 provided to face each other so as to sandwich the flexible tube A (tube body 1) in the radial direction, and a joint portion B2 for movably supporting the pair of cutting blades B1. , And a grip portion (not shown) formed continuously with the pair of cutting blades B1 as main constituent elements.
The pair of cutting blades B1 is set to have an outer diameter dimension of the tube body 1 and a width dimension that is longer than a width dimension when the tube body 1 is crushed into a smooth shape by the pair of cutting blades B1 and is made conductive in the tube body 1. It has a concave portion B3 for cutting only the portion except the line 2.

本発明の実施形態に係る可撓管Ａを管切断具Ｂで切断する方法は、管本体１の導電線２に向けて一対の切断刃Ｂ１を位置決めするセット工程と、一対の切断刃Ｂ１を管本体１の径方向へ接近移動させる切断工程と、管本体１から切断分離した不要な管本体１′から導電線２の先端部２ａを引き出す分離工程と、を主要な工程として含んでいる。
セット工程では、図２に示されるように、導電線２が軸方向へ螺旋状や直線状に埋設される管本体１に対して、作業者が一対の切断刃Ｂ１の凹状部Ｂ３を導電線２と管本体１の径方向へ対向するように位置決めし、位置ズレしないように管切断具Ｂを仮止めする。
切断工程では、作業者が一対の切断刃Ｂ１を管本体１の径方向へ接近移動させて、一対の切断刃Ｂ１の間に管本体１を挟み込む。これにより、管本体１に切れ目が入って切り離し可能になっている。
分離工程では、作業者が管本体１の切断後に管本体１の端面１ａから切断した不要な管本体１′を管本体１の軸方向へ分離移動させる。これにより、切り離した不要な管本体１′の端面（切断面）１ａ′に露出する被覆層３′から導電線２の先端部２ａが引き抜かれる。
この際、導電線２及び被覆層３を螺旋状に巻き付ける場合には、管本体１の軸線に対する導電線２及び被覆層３の傾斜角度が小さくなるほど、被覆層３と導電線２における軸方向への摩擦力（摩擦抵抗）が低下して、切断した不要な管本体１′の被覆層３′から導電線２の先端部２ａから引き抜き易くなる。 The method of cutting the flexible tube A with the tube cutting tool B according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a setting step of positioning the pair of cutting blades B1 toward the conductive wire 2 of the tube body 1 and a pair of cutting blades B1. The main steps include a cutting step of moving the tube body 1 toward the radial direction, and a separation step of pulling out the distal end portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 from the unnecessary tube body 1'cut and separated from the tube body 1.
In the setting step, as shown in FIG. 2, an operator inserts the concave portions B3 of the pair of cutting blades B1 into the conductive wire 2 with respect to the conductive pipe 2 in which the conductive wire 2 is embedded in a spiral or linear shape in the axial direction. The pipe cutting tool B is temporarily fixed so that the pipe 2 and the pipe body 1 are opposed to each other in the radial direction and the position is not displaced.
In the cutting step, an operator moves the pair of cutting blades B1 closer to each other in the radial direction of the tube body 1 to sandwich the tube body 1 between the pair of cutting blades B1. As a result, the pipe body 1 is cut and can be separated.
In the separating step, the operator separates and moves the unnecessary tube body 1 ′ cut from the end surface 1 a of the tube body 1 after cutting the tube body 1 in the axial direction of the tube body 1. As a result, the tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 is pulled out from the coating layer 3'exposed on the end surface (cut surface) 1a' of the unnecessary unnecessary tube body 1'.
At this time, when the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 are spirally wound, the smaller the inclination angle of the conductive wire 2 and the coating layer 3 with respect to the axis of the tube body 1 is, the more axial the coating layer 3 and the conductive wire 2 are. The frictional force (friction resistance) is reduced, and it becomes easy to pull out from the tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 from the cut coating layer 3'of the unnecessary tube body 1'.

このような本発明の実施形態に係る可撓管Ａによると、管本体１の層内に導電線２を軸方向へ螺旋状に巻き付けた場合のように、管本体１の層に対して導電線２が一体的に設けられても、管本体１の層との境界面に導電線２が被覆層３を挟んだ非粘着な状態で配置される。
このため、図１及び図２に示されるように、管本体１の層を管切断具Ｂなどで導電線２が除かれるように切断して軸方向へ引き離すことにより、切断分離した不要な管本体１′の被覆層３′から導電線２の先端部２ａがスムーズに引き出し可能となる。この引き離しに伴って、管本体１の層内に設けた導電線２の先端部２ａのみが、管本体１の端面（切断面）１ａから突出する。
したがって、管本体１の層内から導電線２の先端部２ａを容易に取り出すことができる。
その結果、ホース層内にアース線が埋設される従来のものに比べ、管本体１の層構成材料と導電線２が切れることなく確実に分離でき、分離作業に手間取らず作業性に優れる。 According to the flexible tube A according to the embodiment of the present invention, as in the case where the conductive wire 2 is spirally wound in the layer of the tube body 1, the conductive wire 2 is electrically conductive to the layer of the tube body 1. Even if the wire 2 is integrally provided, the conductive wire 2 is arranged in a non-adhesive state in which the coating layer 3 is sandwiched at the boundary surface with the layer of the tube body 1.
Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, unnecessary layers are cut and separated by cutting the layers of the tube body 1 with the tube cutting tool B so as to remove the conductive wires 2 and separating them in the axial direction. The tip 2a of the conductive wire 2 can be smoothly pulled out from the coating layer 3'of the main body 1'. With this separation, only the tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 provided in the layer of the tube body 1 projects from the end surface (cut surface) 1a of the tube body 1.
Therefore, the tip 2a of the conductive wire 2 can be easily taken out from the layer of the tube body 1.
As a result, as compared with the conventional one in which the ground wire is buried in the hose layer, the layer constituent material of the tube body 1 and the conductive wire 2 can be reliably separated without breaking, and the separation work is easy and the workability is excellent.

特に、管本体１が径方向に重なり合う複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）を有し、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に、被覆層３となる非粘着な材料で覆われた導電線２を埋設することが好ましい。
この場合には、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に導電線２を軸方向へ螺旋状に巻き付けた場合のように、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）に対して導電線２が一体的に設けられても、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）に対し導電線２が被覆層３を挟んだ非粘着な状態で配置される。
このため、図１及び図２に示されるように、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）を管切断具Ｂなどで導電線２が除かれるように切断して軸方向へ引き離すことにより、切断分離した不要な管本体１′の被覆層３′から導電線２の先端部２ａがスムーズに引き出し可能となる。この引き離しに伴って、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に設けた導電線２の先端部２ａのみが、管本体１の端面（切断面）１ａから突出する。
したがって、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の接着強度を低下させずに管本体１の層内から導電線２の先端部２ａを容易に取り出すことができる。
その結果、管本体１を通る流体の圧力が上昇しても、複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）が剥離せず、優れた耐圧性能を保持できる。
また複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）の間に導電線２と補強線材４を配置した後に接着剤により複数の層（内層１１，外層１２）と密着させた場合でも、管切断具Ｂなどで導電線２が除かれるように切断して軸方向へ引き離すことにより、導電線２の先端部２ａのみが、管本体１の端面（切断面）１ａから突出して、容易に取り出すことができる。 In particular, the pipe body 1 has a plurality of layers (inner layer 11 and outer layer 12) that are radially overlapped with each other, and is covered with a non-adhesive material serving as the coating layer 3 between the plurality of layers (inner layer 11 and outer layer 12). It is preferable to embed the conductive wire 2.
In this case, as in the case where the conductive wire 2 is spirally wound in the axial direction between the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12), the conductive wire is applied to the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12). Even if 2 is integrally provided, the conductive wire 2 is arranged in a non-adhesive state with the coating layer 3 sandwiched between a plurality of layers (inner layer 11 and outer layer 12).
Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) are cut by the pipe cutting tool B or the like so that the conductive wire 2 is removed, and are separated in the axial direction to cut the layers. The tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 can be smoothly pulled out from the separated unnecessary coating layer 3'of the tube body 1'. With this separation, only the tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 provided between the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) projects from the end surface (cut surface) 1a of the tube body 1.
Therefore, the tip portion 2a of the conductive wire 2 can be easily taken out of the layers of the tube body 1 without lowering the adhesive strength of the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12).
As a result, even if the pressure of the fluid passing through the pipe body 1 rises, the plurality of layers (the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12) do not separate, and excellent pressure resistance performance can be maintained.
Even when the conductive wire 2 and the reinforcing wire 4 are arranged between a plurality of layers (inner layer 11, outer layer 12) and then adhered to the plurality of layers (inner layer 11, outer layer 12) with an adhesive, the pipe cutting tool B, etc. By cutting the conductive wire 2 so that it is removed and separating it in the axial direction, only the tip 2a of the conductive wire 2 projects from the end surface (cut surface) 1a of the tube body 1 and can be easily taken out.

さらに、被覆層３となる非粘着な材料が液状であることが好ましい。
この場合には、被覆層３として非粘着な液状材料で表面２ｂが覆われた導電線２を押出し成形などで、管本体１の層と導電線２との境界面に配置することにより、導電線２の周囲に非粘着な液状材料からなる被覆層３が形成される。
したがって、被覆層３を簡単に作成することができる。
その結果、製造速度の高速化と製造コストの低減化が図れる。 Furthermore, it is preferable that the non-adhesive material that forms the coating layer 3 is liquid.
In this case, the conductive wire 2 whose surface 2b is covered with a non-adhesive liquid material as the coating layer 3 is formed on the boundary surface between the layer of the tube body 1 and the conductive wire 2 by extrusion molding or the like, so that the conductive A coating layer 3 made of a non-adhesive liquid material is formed around the wire 2.
Therefore, the coating layer 3 can be easily created.
As a result, the manufacturing speed can be increased and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

さらに管本体１の層内に補強線材４を設けたが、これに限定されず、補強線材４が無くてもよい。
また可撓管Ａを持ち運び可能な手持ち式の管切断具Ｂで切断したが、これに限定されず、持ち運び不能な設置式の裁断器によって管本体１が導電線２を除いて切断されるように変更してもよい。 In the illustrated embodiment in the above-described embodiment, the tube body 1 has a two-layer structure including the inner layer 11 and the outer layer 12, but the present invention is not limited to this and has a multi-layer structure of three or more layers having an innermost layer and an outermost layer.
