Description

本発明は、作業用補修弁および作業用補修弁を用いた作業方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a work repair valve and a work method using the work repair valve.

作業用補修弁として、特許文献１には、バルブ本体と、押輪と、ボールバルブと、受け口部材とを備えることにより、埋設された水道管に対して消火栓や空気弁に耐震性を持たせた状態で接続する機能を有するものが記載（耐震補修弁として記載）されている。 As a work repair valve, Patent Document 1 provides a valve body, a push ring, a ball valve, and a receiving member to make a fire hydrant or an air valve earthquake-resistant for an embedded water pipe. Those that have the function of connecting in a state are described (described as seismic repair valves).

つまり、特許文献１には、バルブ本体が、ボールバルブ、挿し口、抜け止めリング、スペーサ、バックアップリング、ゴム輪等を備えることによりバルブ本体が受け口部材に対して傾動できるように構成されている。 That is, in Patent Document 1, the valve body is configured to be provided with a ball valve, an insertion port, a retaining ring, a spacer, a backup ring, a rubber ring, and the like so that the valve body can tilt with respect to the receiving port member. ..

特開２０１７−１７２７９９号公報JP-A-2017-172799

ここで、作業用補修弁を設置する際の作業形態を考えると、特許文献１に記載されるように受け口部材に対してバルブ本体が傾動可能に構成されたものでは、例えば、特許文献１に記載されるように水道管のＴ字管の上端に接続した作業用補修弁の外端側に作業用機器を装着した場合に、作業用機器の重量によってバルブ本体が傾動することも考えられた。 Here, considering the work mode when installing the repair valve for work, if the valve body is configured to be tiltable with respect to the receiving port member as described in Patent Document 1, for example, Patent Document 1 When the work equipment was attached to the outer end side of the work repair valve connected to the upper end of the T-shaped pipe of the water pipe as described, it was considered that the valve body tilted due to the weight of the work equipment. ..

つまり、既設管に作業用補修弁を新たに設置する作業を考えると、既設管の外面に分岐管を継手やベルト等で固定し、この分岐管の外端位置に作業用補修弁を備え、この状態で作業用補修弁の外端側から穿孔機のカッターを、分岐管の基端位置まで挿入し、既設管と連通するように既設管に開口を形成する作業形態となる。 In other words, considering the work of newly installing a work repair valve on the existing pipe, the branch pipe is fixed to the outer surface of the existing pipe with a joint, a belt, etc., and a work repair valve is provided at the outer end position of this branch pipe. In this state, the cutter of the drilling machine is inserted from the outer end side of the work repair valve to the base end position of the branch pipe, and an opening is formed in the existing pipe so as to communicate with the existing pipe.

しかしながら、作業用補修弁のバルブ本体が、穿孔機の重量で傾斜する場合には穿孔機のカッターを既設管まで挿入することが困難となり改善の余地がある。 However, when the valve body of the work repair valve is tilted by the weight of the drilling machine, it becomes difficult to insert the cutter of the drilling machine into the existing pipe, and there is room for improvement.

このような理由から、作業時に適正な姿勢に保持できる作業用補修弁、及び、作業機器を適正な姿勢に保持して作業を可能にする作業用補修弁を用いた作業方法が求められる。 For this reason, there is a demand for a work method using a work repair valve that can hold the work equipment in an appropriate posture during work and a work repair valve that enables work by holding the work equipment in an appropriate posture.

本発明に係る作業用補修弁の特徴構成は、既設管から分岐する分岐管路の分岐側フランジ部に連結する基端側フランジ部と、前記基端側フランジ部より下流側の外端位置に配置される外端側フランジ部と、前記基端側フランジ部および前記外端側フランジ部の間に配置される弁ユニットと、を備え、前記弁ユニットが、前記基端側フランジ部に一体的に形成される基端側管路と、前記外端側フランジ部に一体形成される外端側管路とを有すると共に、前記基端側管路と前記外端側管路とを揺動自在に連結する可撓連結部と、前記弁ユニットの流路の開閉が自在な開閉弁機構と、を有し、前記基端側管路と前記外端側管路とを同軸芯に保持する規制機構を備えている点にある。 The characteristic configuration of the work repair valve according to the present invention is that the base end side flange portion connected to the branch side flange portion of the branch pipeline branching from the existing pipe and the outer end position on the downstream side from the base end side flange portion. The outer end side flange portion to be arranged and the valve unit arranged between the proximal end side flange portion and the outer end side flange portion are provided, and the valve unit is integrated with the proximal end side flange portion. It has a proximal side pipeline formed in the base end side and an outer end side pipeline integrally formed with the outer end side flange portion, and the proximal end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline can be swung freely. A regulation that has a flexible connecting portion connected to the flange and an on-off valve mechanism that can freely open and close the flow path of the valve unit, and holds the base end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline on a coaxial core. The point is that it has a mechanism.

この特徴構成によると、既設管から分岐する分岐側フランジ部に基端側フランジ部を連結し、例えば、消火栓の管路のフランジ部を外端側フランジ部に連結することで、既設管と消火栓との間に弁ユニットを配置できる。また、作業用補修弁を設置する際に、規制機構が基端側管路の基端側軸芯と、外端側管路の外端側軸芯とを同軸芯に保持することにより、例えば、外端側フランジ部に穿孔機等の重量物を備えても基端側フランジ部から外端側フランジ部に達する部位を直線状に保持できる。
従って、作業時に適正な姿勢に保持できる作業用補修弁が構成された。 According to this feature configuration, the base end side flange part is connected to the branch side flange part branching from the existing pipe, and for example, the flange part of the pipe line of the fire hydrant is connected to the outer end side flange part, so that the existing pipe and the fire hydrant A valve unit can be placed between and. Further, when installing the repair valve for work, the regulatory mechanism holds the proximal end side shaft core of the proximal end side pipeline and the outer end side axial core of the outer end side pipeline on the coaxial core, for example. Even if a heavy object such as a drilling machine is provided on the outer end side flange portion, the portion reaching the outer end side flange portion from the base end side flange portion can be held linearly.
Therefore, a work repair valve that can be maintained in an appropriate posture during work is configured.

他の構成として、前記外端側フランジ部のボルト挿通孔と、前記外端側フランジ部に連結する連結フランジ部のボルト挿通孔と、に挿通する連結ボルト、及び、当該連結ボルトに螺合する連結ナットにより、前記外端側フランジ部と前記連結フランジ部とが連結可能に構成され、前記規制機構が、前記基端側管路の径方向外方側に突出した突出部に形成され、前記外端側フランジ部の前記ボルト挿通孔の軸芯と同軸芯で前記外端側フランジ部に向けて開口する嵌合凹部と、前記連結ボルトの端部に形成され、前記嵌合凹部に嵌合可能な嵌合突起とで構成されても良い。 As another configuration, a connecting bolt to be inserted into the bolt insertion hole of the outer end side flange portion and the bolt insertion hole of the connecting flange portion connected to the outer end side flange portion, and a connecting bolt screwed into the connecting bolt. The outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion are configured to be connectable by the connecting nut, and the regulating mechanism is formed in the protruding portion protruding outward in the radial direction of the proximal end side pipeline. A fitting recess that is coaxial with the shaft core of the bolt insertion hole of the outer end side flange portion and opens toward the outer end side flange portion, and a fitting recess formed at the end of the connecting bolt and fitted into the fitting recess. It may be composed of a possible fitting protrusion.

これによると、外端側フランジ部と連結フランジ部とのボルト挿通孔に連結ボルトを挿通し、この連結ボルトに連結ナットを螺合させて回転操作することにより外端側フランジ部と連結フランジ部との連結が実現する。また、この連結を終了する以前に、連結ボルトを、基端側管路が配置された方向に突出させ、連結ボルトの端部の嵌合突起を、基端側管路の突出部の嵌合凹部に嵌合させることにより、基端側管路と外端側管路との相対的な位置関係の変位を規制する保持状態にできる。つまり、連結ボルトの形状変更によって嵌合突起を形成し、基端側管路の突出部に嵌合凹部を形成することによって規制機構を構成でき、作業時に作業用補修弁を適正な姿勢に保持できる。 According to this, the connecting bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion hole between the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion, and the connecting nut is screwed into the connecting bolt to rotate the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion. Connection with is realized. Further, before the end of this connection, the connecting bolt is projected in the direction in which the proximal side pipeline is arranged, and the fitting projection at the end of the connecting bolt is fitted with the protruding portion of the proximal end side pipeline. By fitting it in the recess, it is possible to obtain a holding state that regulates the displacement of the relative positional relationship between the proximal end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline. In other words, the regulation mechanism can be configured by forming a fitting protrusion by changing the shape of the connecting bolt and forming a fitting recess in the protruding portion of the proximal end side pipeline, and the work repair valve is held in an appropriate posture during work. it can.

他の構成として、前記外端側フランジ部のボルト挿通孔と、前記外端側フランジ部に連結する連結フランジ部のボルト挿通孔と、に挿通する連結ボルト、及び、当該連結ボルトに螺合する連結ナットにより、前記外端側フランジ部と前記連結フランジ部とが連結可能に構成され、前記規制機構が、前記基端側フランジ部に形成され、前記外端側フランジ部の前記ボルト挿通孔の軸芯と同軸芯で前記外端側フランジ部に向けて開口する嵌合凹部と、前記連結ボルトの端部に螺合し、前記嵌合凹部に嵌合可能な嵌合部を有する嵌合ナットとで構成されても良い。 As another configuration, a connecting bolt to be inserted into the bolt insertion hole of the outer end side flange portion and the bolt insertion hole of the connecting flange portion connected to the outer end side flange portion, and a connecting bolt screwed into the connecting bolt. The outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion can be connected by the connecting nut, the regulation mechanism is formed on the base end side flange portion, and the bolt insertion hole of the outer end side flange portion is formed. A fitting nut having a fitting recess that opens toward the outer end side flange portion with a shaft core and a coaxial core, and a fitting portion that is screwed into the end portion of the connecting bolt and can be fitted into the fitting recess. It may be composed of and.

これによると、外端側フランジ部と連結フランジ部とのボルト挿通孔に連結ボルトを挿通し、この連結ボルトに連結ナットを螺合させて回転操作することにより外端側フランジ部と、連結フランジ部との連結が実現する。また、連結ボルトによって連結を行う際に、連結ボルトを基端側管路が配置された方向に突出させ、この連結ボルトの突出部位に嵌合ナットを螺合させておく。そして、嵌合ナットの操作により嵌合部を嵌合凹部に嵌合させることにより、基端側管路と外端側管路との相対的な位置関係の変位を規制し、固定状態にできる。つまり、嵌合ナットの嵌合部と、嵌合凹部とによって規制機構を構成でき、作業時に作業用補修弁を適正な姿勢に保持できる。 According to this, the connecting bolt is inserted into the bolt insertion hole between the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion, and the connecting nut is screwed into the connecting bolt to rotate the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange. Connection with the part is realized. Further, when connecting with the connecting bolt, the connecting bolt is projected in the direction in which the proximal side pipeline is arranged, and the fitting nut is screwed into the protruding portion of the connecting bolt. Then, by fitting the fitting portion into the fitting recess by operating the fitting nut, the displacement of the relative positional relationship between the proximal end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline can be regulated and fixed. .. That is, the regulation mechanism can be configured by the fitting portion of the fitting nut and the fitting recess, and the work repair valve can be held in an appropriate posture during work.

他の構成として、前記外端側フランジ部と、前記外端側フランジ部に連結する連結フランジ部とが複数の連結ボルトにより連結され、前記基端側フランジ部と前記分岐側フランジ部とが複数の連結ボルトにより連結された状態において、前記規制機構が、連結状態にある前記外端側フランジ部と前記連結フランジ部とを重ね合わせ方向から挟持する第１クランプと、連結状態にある前記基端側フランジ部と前記分岐側フランジ部とを重ね合わせ方向から挟持する第２クランプと、前記第１クランプと前記第２クランプとを相対距離調整自在に連結する連結シャフトとを備えて構成されても良い。 As another configuration, the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion connected to the outer end side flange portion are connected by a plurality of connecting bolts, and the base end side flange portion and the branch side flange portion are a plurality. In the state of being connected by the connecting bolts of the above, the regulating mechanism has the first clamp that sandwiches the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion in the connected state from the overlapping direction, and the base end in the connected state. Even if it is configured to include a second clamp that sandwiches the side flange portion and the branch side flange portion from the overlapping direction, and a connecting shaft that connects the first clamp and the second clamp so that the relative distance can be adjusted. good.

これによると、連結状態にある外端側フランジ部と連結フランジ部とを重ね合わせ方向から第１クランプで挟持し、連結状態にある基端側フランジ部と分岐側フランジ部とを重ね合わせ方向から第２クランプで挟持し、これら第１クランプと第２クランプとを連結シャフトで連結することにより、基端側管路と外端側管路との相対的な位置関係を固定できる。つまり、第１クランプと第２クランプとの相対的な位置関係を連結シャフトで保持するように規制機構を構成することで設置作業時に作業用補修弁を適正な姿勢に保持できる。 According to this, the outer end side flange portion and the connecting flange portion in the connected state are sandwiched by the first clamp from the overlapping direction, and the base end side flange portion and the branch side flange portion in the connected state are sandwiched from the overlapping direction. By sandwiching the clamps with the second clamp and connecting the first clamp and the second clamp with the connecting shaft, the relative positional relationship between the proximal end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline can be fixed. That is, by configuring the regulation mechanism so that the relative positional relationship between the first clamp and the second clamp is held by the connecting shaft, the work repair valve can be held in an appropriate posture during the installation work.

本発明に係る作業用補修弁を用いた作業方法の特徴構成は、前記分岐側フランジ部に前記基端側フランジ部を連結し、前記外端側フランジ部に作業機器を連結し、前記規制機構によって前記基端側管路と前記外端側管路とを同軸芯に保持し、前記弁ユニットの前記開閉弁機構を開放した状態において、前記作業機器の作業部を前記外端側管路と前記基端側管路と前記分岐管路とに挿通して作業を行った後に前記規制機構を撤去しても良い。 The characteristic configuration of the work method using the work repair valve according to the present invention is that the base end side flange portion is connected to the branch side flange portion, the work equipment is connected to the outer end side flange portion, and the regulation mechanism. In a state where the base end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline are held in a coaxial core and the on-off valve mechanism of the valve unit is opened, the working portion of the work equipment is referred to as the outer end side pipeline. The regulating mechanism may be removed after the work is performed by inserting the base end side pipeline into the branch pipeline.

この特徴構成によると、既設管から分岐する分岐側フランジ部に基端側フランジ部を連結し、外端側フランジ部に作業機器を連結し、規制機構によって基端側管路と端部側管路とを同軸芯に保持し、弁ユニットの開閉弁機構を開放することにより、作業機器の作業部を外端側管路と基端側管路との内部を挿通して既設管に到達させることが可能となる。 According to this feature configuration, the base end side flange part is connected to the branch side flange part branching from the existing pipe, the work equipment is connected to the outer end side flange part, and the base end side pipeline and the end side pipe are connected by the regulation mechanism. By holding the path on the coaxial core and opening the on-off valve mechanism of the valve unit, the working part of the work equipment is inserted through the inside of the outer end side pipe and the base end side pipe to reach the existing pipe. It becomes possible.

つまり、この作業方法では、例えば、作業機器としての穿孔機を外端側フランジ部に連結し、この穿孔機のカッターで既設管に開口を形成する作業を行う場合に、規制機構によって基端側管路と外端側管路とを同軸芯に保持することにより、カッターを直線的に移動させて既設管の外壁に連通孔を穿設できる。また、この作業方法では、例えば、作業機器としての流路閉塞装置を外端側フランジ部に連結し、この流路閉塞装置の閉塞バッグを既設管の内部に挿入し、膨張させて既設管の流体の流れを遮断する作業を行う場合に、規制機構によって基端側管路と外端側管路とを同軸芯に保持することにより、閉塞バッグを直線的に移動させて既設管の内部に挿入して膨張させることが可能となる。
このように、作業装置を適正な姿勢に保持して作業を可能にする作業用補修弁を用いた作業方法が構成された。 That is, in this work method, for example, when a drilling machine as a work device is connected to an outer end side flange portion and an opening is formed in an existing pipe with the cutter of this punching machine, the base end side is subjected to a regulation mechanism. By holding the pipeline and the outer end side pipeline on the coaxial core, the cutter can be moved linearly to form a communication hole in the outer wall of the existing pipe. Further, in this working method, for example, a flow path closing device as a working device is connected to an outer end side flange portion, and a closing bag of this flow path closing device is inserted into an existing pipe and expanded to expand the existing pipe. When performing work to block the flow of fluid, the blocking bag is moved linearly into the inside of the existing pipe by holding the proximal end side pipeline and the outer end side pipeline on the coaxial core by the regulation mechanism. It can be inserted and inflated.
In this way, a work method using a work repair valve that enables work by holding the work device in an appropriate posture has been constructed.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。
〔全体構成〕
図１、図２には、水道管を構成する既設管１に連結する分岐管ユニット１０に支持された作業用補修弁Ｖを示している。作業用補修弁Ｖは、下端に基端側フランジ部２２を一体形成した基端側管路２１と、外端（既設管１からの水が流れる下流）に外端側フランジ部２４を一体形成した外端側管路２３とを有している。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
〔overall structure〕
1 and 2 show a work repair valve V supported by a branch pipe unit 10 connected to an existing pipe 1 constituting a water pipe. The work repair valve V has a base end side pipeline 21 in which a base end side flange portion 22 is integrally formed at the lower end, and an outer end side flange portion 24 integrally formed at the outer end (downstream where water flows from the existing pipe 1). It has an outer end side pipeline 23.

この作業用補修弁Ｖは、基端側フランジ部２２から外端側フランジ部２４に亘る領域の構成を弁ユニット２０と称しており、この弁ユニット２０に開閉弁機構４０と、可撓連結部Ｆとが備えられている。具体的には、外端側管路２３の内部に開閉自在な弁体４１を有する開閉弁機構４０を備えており、基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とを揺動自在に連結するように基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とを繋ぐ位置に可撓連結部Ｆが備えられている。 In this work repair valve V, the configuration of the region extending from the base end side flange portion 22 to the outer end side flange portion 24 is referred to as a valve unit 20, and the valve unit 20 is connected to the on-off valve mechanism 40 and the flexible connecting portion. F is provided. Specifically, an on-off valve mechanism 40 having a valve body 41 that can be opened and closed inside the outer end side pipe 23 is provided, and the base end side pipe 21 and the outer end side pipe 23 can be swung freely. A flexible connecting portion F is provided at a position connecting the base end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 so as to be connected.

図１には、外端側フランジ部２４に対して穿孔機５０（作業機器の一例）を取り付けた構成が示されている。作業用補修弁Ｖは、本来、外端側フランジ部２４に対し、地下に設置される消火栓や、空気弁等を接続する形態で用いられるものである。従って、穿孔機５０による既設管１に連通孔１ａ（図４を参照）を形成する穿孔作業の後に、穿孔機５０を取り外し、消火栓や空気弁等が外端側フランジ部２４に連結される。 FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which a drilling machine 50 (an example of working equipment) is attached to the outer end side flange portion 24. The work repair valve V is originally used in a form of connecting a fire hydrant installed underground, an air valve, or the like to the outer end side flange portion 24. Therefore, after the drilling operation of forming the communication hole 1a (see FIG. 4) in the existing pipe 1 by the drilling machine 50, the drilling machine 50 is removed, and the fire hydrant, the air valve, and the like are connected to the outer end side flange portion 24.

この作業用補修弁Ｖは、大きい地震において消火栓や空気弁が地下空間の内壁に強く接触し大きい外力が作用する状況でも可撓連結部Ｆが基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３との間で折れ曲がり方向への揺動を許容することで、分岐管ユニット１０から作業用補修弁Ｖに亘る領域の構成の破損を防止するように構成されたものである。 In this work repair valve V, the flexible connecting portion F is the base end side pipe line 21 and the outer end side pipe line 23 even in a situation where a fire hydrant or an air valve strongly contacts the inner wall of the underground space and a large external force acts in a large earthquake. It is configured to prevent damage to the configuration of the region extending from the branch pipe unit 10 to the work repair valve V by allowing the swing in the bending direction with the pipe unit 10.

A regulation mechanism R for holding the pipeline 23 on a coaxial core is provided.

分岐管路１６の中心を流路軸芯Ｘと称し、基端側管路２１の中心を基端側軸芯Ｙと称し、外端側管路２３の中心を外端側軸芯Ｚと称する。規制機構Ｒは、可撓連結部Ｆによって基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３との揺動を規制するように機能するものであり、この規制によって流路軸芯Ｘと基端側軸芯Ｙと外端側軸芯Ｚとが同軸芯上に保持される。 The center of the branch line 16 is referred to as the flow path axis X, the center of the base end side line 21 is referred to as the base end side axis Y, and the center of the outer end side line 23 is referred to as the outer end side axis Z. .. The regulation mechanism R functions to regulate the swing between the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 by the flexible connecting portion F, and the flow path axis X and the proximal end are regulated by this regulation. The side shaft core Y and the outer end side shaft core Z are held on the coaxial core.

尚、この実施形態には、分岐管路１６として、上方に延出する姿勢のものを示しているが、分岐管路１６は、水平方向や斜め下方や斜め上方に延出するものでも良い。 In this embodiment, the branch pipe 16 is shown to extend upward, but the branch pipe 16 may extend in the horizontal direction, diagonally downward, or diagonally upward.

〔分岐管ユニット〕
図１、図３、図４に示すように、分岐管ユニット１０は、既設管１の外周を取り囲む領域に配置される３つの分割継手部１１を有すると共に、これら３つの分割継手部１１の内周に配置される継手シール体１２を有しており、外面の連結体１３に継手ボルト１４を挿通し、継手ナット１５を螺合させて締結固定する構成を有している。 [Branch pipe unit]
As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the branch pipe unit 10 has three split joint portions 11 arranged in an area surrounding the outer periphery of the existing pipe 1, and among these three split joint portions 11. It has a joint seal body 12 arranged on the periphery, and has a configuration in which a joint bolt 14 is inserted into a connecting body 13 on the outer surface, and a joint nut 15 is screwed to be fastened and fixed.

分岐管路１６は、３つの分割継手部１１のうちの１つから外方（上方）に突出する姿勢で形成され、この分岐管路１６の延出端に分岐側フランジ部１７が形成されている。 The branch pipeline 16 is formed in a posture of projecting outward (upward) from one of the three split joint portions 11, and the branch side flange portion 17 is formed at the extending end of the branch pipeline 16. There is.

この分岐管ユニット１０では、継手ボルト１４の締結操作により３つの分割継手部１１が既設管１の外周を取り囲む状態で固定されると共に、複数の継手シール体１２が、分割継手部１１の内周と既設管１の外周との間に密着する。これにより、既設管１に連通孔１ａ（図４を参照）が形成された場合でも、漏水が阻止される。 In this branch pipe unit 10, three split joint portions 11 are fixed in a state of surrounding the outer circumference of the existing pipe 1 by the fastening operation of the joint bolt 14, and a plurality of joint seal bodies 12 are attached to the inner circumference of the split joint portion 11. And the outer circumference of the existing pipe 1 are in close contact with each other. As a result, even when the communication hole 1a (see FIG. 4) is formed in the existing pipe 1, water leakage is prevented.

〔弁ユニット：可撓連結部〕
図２に示すように、基端側管路２１の延出端（上端）に、この基端側管路２１の内周を拡大した拡径部を有する保持部２１ａが形成され、この保持部２１ａの内周空間に外端側管路２３の基端（下端）の挿入部２３ａが挿入状態で配置され、保持部２１ａの内周と挿入部２３ａの外周との間に可撓連結部Ｆが備えられている。 [Valve unit: flexible connecting part]
As shown in FIG. 2, at the extending end (upper end) of the proximal end side pipeline 21, a holding portion 21a having an enlarged diameter portion that expands the inner circumference of the proximal end side pipeline 21 is formed, and the holding portion 21a is formed. The insertion portion 23a at the base end (lower end) of the outer end side pipeline 23 is arranged in the inner circumference space of the 21a in the inserted state, and the flexible connecting portion F is provided between the inner circumference of the holding portion 21a and the outer circumference of the insertion portion 23a. Is provided.

可撓連結部Ｆは、挿入部２３ａの外周に嵌合する嵌合リング３１と、この嵌合リング３１に当接する位置関係で保持部２１ａの内周に嵌め込まれたゴムリング３２と、嵌合リング３１の脱落を阻止する保持リング３３とを備えている。更に、可撓連結部Ｆは、保持リング３３を基端側管路２１の保持部２１ａに固定する六角穴付型の固定ボルト３４と、挿入部２３ａの外周に支持されるシールリング３５を備えている。この六角穴付型の固定ボルト３４は、連結ボルト６１と同軸芯で保持リング３３に形成された貫通孔を上から下に挿通し、保持部２１ａのネジ穴に螺合する。 The flexible connecting portion F is fitted with a fitting ring 31 that fits on the outer circumference of the insertion portion 23a and a rubber ring 32 that is fitted on the inner circumference of the holding portion 21a in a positional relationship that abuts on the fitting ring 31. It is provided with a holding ring 33 that prevents the ring 31 from falling off. Further, the flexible connecting portion F includes a hexagon socket type fixing bolt 34 for fixing the holding ring 33 to the holding portion 21a of the proximal end side pipeline 21 and a seal ring 35 supported on the outer periphery of the insertion portion 23a. ing. The hexagon socket head cap screw 34 is screwed into the screw hole of the holding portion 21a by inserting a through hole formed in the holding ring 33 coaxially with the connecting bolt 61 from top to bottom.

この可撓連結部Ｆは、嵌合リング３１が基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが離間する方向への変位を規制すると共に、ゴムリング３２の弾性変形により基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが互いに折れ曲がる方向の揺動を許容する。また、固定ボルト３４の頭部に規制機構Ｒの嵌合凹部６３が形成されている。尚、このように固定ボルト３４の頭部に嵌合凹部６３を形成する構成に代えて、例えば、保持リング３３（突出部）の上面に嵌合凹部６３を形成する構成や、保持リング３３か上方に張り出す膨出部を形成し、この突出部の突出端に規制機構Ｒの嵌合凹部６３を形成しても良い。 The flexible connecting portion F regulates the displacement of the fitting ring 31 in the direction in which the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 are separated from each other, and the elastic deformation of the rubber ring 32 causes the proximal end side pipe. Allows the road 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 to swing in the direction in which they bend each other. Further, a fitting recess 63 of the regulation mechanism R is formed on the head of the fixing bolt 34. Instead of the configuration in which the fitting recess 63 is formed on the head of the fixing bolt 34 in this way, for example, a configuration in which the fitting recess 63 is formed on the upper surface of the holding ring 33 (protruding portion), or the holding ring 33. A bulging portion that projects upward may be formed, and a fitting recess 63 of the regulating mechanism R may be formed at the protruding end of the protruding portion.

〔弁ユニット：開閉弁機構〕
図２に示すように、この作業用補修弁Ｖでは、外端側管路２３の内部に開閉弁機構４０が収容されている。この開閉弁機構４０は、外端側管路２３での流体の流れを許す連通状態と、遮断する遮断状態とに切り換え自在なボール弁として構成されている。 [Valve unit: On-off valve mechanism]
As shown in FIG. 2, in this work repair valve V, the on-off valve mechanism 40 is housed inside the outer end side pipeline 23. The on-off valve mechanism 40 is configured as a ball valve that can be switched between a communication state that allows the flow of fluid in the outer end side pipeline 23 and a shutoff state that shuts off the fluid.

開閉弁機構４０は、外端側管路２３に収容される環状の弁体４１を備えており、外端側管路２３には弁体４１の位置を保持するホルダ４２を備えている。尚、ホルダ４２には、連通状態で外端側軸芯Ｚと同軸芯となる孔部が形成されている。 The on-off valve mechanism 40 includes an annular valve body 41 housed in the outer end side pipeline 23, and the outer end side pipeline 23 includes a holder 42 for holding the position of the valve body 41. The holder 42 is formed with a hole that serves as a coaxial core with the outer end side shaft core Z in a communicating state.

弁体４１は、球状の外面を有し、外端側管路２３の内周と、ホルダ４２の内周とには、弁体４１の球状外面に接触するリング状のボールシート４３を備えている。また、弁体４１の外面にステム４４の内端が嵌合しており、このステム４４の外端に操作レバー４５が連結している。 The valve body 41 has a spherical outer surface, and a ring-shaped ball sheet 43 that contacts the spherical outer surface of the valve body 41 is provided on the inner circumference of the outer end side pipeline 23 and the inner circumference of the holder 42. There is. Further, the inner end of the stem 44 is fitted to the outer surface of the valve body 41, and the operating lever 45 is connected to the outer end of the stem 44.

このように開閉弁機構４０は、弁体４１と、ホルダ４２と、ボールシート４３と、ステム４４と、操作レバー４５とを備えている。この構成から操作レバー４５の操作により図２に示すように、弁体４１によって流体の流れを許す連通状態と、流れを遮断する遮断状態とに切り換え自在となる。 As described above, the on-off valve mechanism 40 includes a valve body 41, a holder 42, a ball seat 43, a stem 44, and an operating lever 45. From this configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the operation lever 45 makes it possible to switch between a communication state in which the flow of fluid is allowed by the valve body 41 and a blocking state in which the flow is blocked.

〔穿孔機〕
図１、図２に示すように、穿孔機５０は、穿孔機本体５１と、この穿孔機本体５１の基端側に備えた穿孔機側フランジ部５２（連結フランジ部の一例）と、穿孔機側フランジ部５２の中央から外端側軸芯Ｚに沿って基端側管路２１の内部に挿入自在なカッター５３（作業部の一例）とを備えると共に、カッター５３を駆動回転するエンジン（図示せず）を穿孔機本体５１にフレキシブルシャフトで接続し、カッター５３の挿抜を人為的に行う回転操作型のハンドル５４を備えている。 [Punching machine]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the punching machine 50 includes a punching machine main body 51, a punching machine side flange portion 52 (an example of a connecting flange portion) provided on the base end side of the punching machine main body 51, and a punching machine. An engine provided with a cutter 53 (an example of a working portion) that can be inserted into the base end side pipeline 21 from the center of the side flange portion 52 along the outer end side axial core Z, and that drives and rotates the cutter 53 (FIG. (Not shown) is connected to the punching machine main body 51 with a flexible shaft, and a rotary operation type handle 54 for artificially inserting and removing the cutter 53 is provided.

この穿孔機５０では、カッター５３を駆動回転するカッター軸５３ａが穿孔機本体５１に対して駆動回転される状態でスライド移動自在に支持されている。 In the drilling machine 50, the cutter shaft 53a that drives and rotates the cutter 53 is supported so as to be slidably movable in a state of being driven and rotated with respect to the punching machine main body 51.

〔規制機構〕
図１〜図３に示すように、分岐側フランジ部１７に形成されたボルト挿通孔と、作業用補修弁Ｖの基端側フランジ部２２に形成されたボルト挿通孔とに締結ボルト２を挿通し、この締結ボルト２に螺合する締結ナット３の操作により、分岐側フランジ部１７と基端側フランジ部２２とが締結固定される。 [Regulatory mechanism]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fastening bolt 2 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole formed in the branch side flange portion 17 and the bolt insertion hole formed in the base end side flange portion 22 of the work repair valve V. Then, by operating the fastening nut 3 screwed into the fastening bolt 2, the branch side flange portion 17 and the base end side flange portion 22 are fastened and fixed.

また、外端側フランジ部２４に形成されたボルト挿通孔と、穿孔機側フランジ部５２（連結フランジ部の一例）に形成されたボルト挿通孔とに連結ボルト６１を挿通し、連結ボルト６１に螺合する連結ナット６２の操作により外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２とが連結固定される。尚、連結ボルト６１は、全ネジ型のもの（頭なしボルト、寸切ボルト）が用いられているため、締結を行うために１つの連結ボルト６１に対し２つの連結ナット６２が螺合する。 Further, the connecting bolt 61 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole formed in the outer end side flange portion 24 and the bolt insertion hole formed in the punching machine side flange portion 52 (an example of the connecting flange portion) to form the connecting bolt 61. By operating the connecting nut 62 to be screwed, the outer end side flange portion 24 and the punching machine side flange portion 52 are connected and fixed. Since the connecting bolt 61 is a full-screw type (headless bolt, threaded rod), two connecting nuts 62 are screwed into one connecting bolt 61 for fastening.

ここで、分岐管ユニット１０に作業用補修弁Ｖを取り付けた後に、穿孔機５０で既設管１に連通孔１ａを形成する作業を考えると、穿孔機５０の重量によって図３に示すように可撓連結部Ｆによって基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが互いに折れ曲がるように揺動することもある。このような揺動状態では、穿孔機５０のカッター５３を既設管１の方向に送り出しても、同図に示す如くカッター５３が基端側管路２１や分岐管路１６の内面に接触し、作業を行えないことも考えられた。 Here, considering the work of forming the communication hole 1a in the existing pipe 1 with the drilling machine 50 after attaching the work repair valve V to the branch pipe unit 10, it is possible as shown in FIG. 3 depending on the weight of the drilling machine 50. The flexible connecting portion F may cause the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 to swing so as to bend each other. In such a swinging state, even if the cutter 53 of the drilling machine 50 is sent out in the direction of the existing pipe 1, the cutter 53 comes into contact with the inner surface of the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the branch pipeline 16 as shown in the figure. It was also possible that the work could not be done.

このような不都合を解消するため、基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とを同軸芯に保持する規制機構Ｒが作業用補修弁Ｖに備えられている。この規制機構Ｒは、図１、図２に示すように、連結ボルト６１と、連結ボルト６１に螺合する連結ナット６２と、連結ボルト６１の先端の嵌合突起６１ａと、固定ボルト３４の頭部に形成された嵌合凹部６３とで構成されている。 In order to eliminate such inconvenience, the work repair valve V is provided with a regulation mechanism R for holding the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 on the coaxial core. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the regulation mechanism R includes a connecting bolt 61, a connecting nut 62 screwed into the connecting bolt 61, a fitting projection 61a at the tip of the connecting bolt 61, and a head of the fixing bolt 34. It is composed of a fitting recess 63 formed in the portion.

尚、嵌合突起６１ａは、連結ボルト６１の先端を小径化することにより軸状に形成されている。また、この規制機構Ｒでは、嵌合凹部６３を、基端側管路２１から径方向外方に張り出すように形成された部位に形成しても良い。 The fitting protrusion 61a is formed in a shaft shape by reducing the diameter of the tip of the connecting bolt 61. Further, in this regulation mechanism R, the fitting recess 63 may be formed in a portion formed so as to project outward in the radial direction from the proximal end side pipeline 21.

つまり、規制機構Ｒは、図４に示すように連結ボルト６１と一対の連結ナット６２とによって外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２とを連結する際に、連結ボルト６１の位置調整により、連結ボルト６１の先端の嵌合突起６１ａを嵌合凹部６３に嵌合させることで機能する。 That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the regulation mechanism R adjusts the position of the connecting bolt 61 when connecting the outer end side flange portion 24 and the punching machine side flange portion 52 by the connecting bolt 61 and the pair of connecting nuts 62. As a result, the fitting protrusion 61a at the tip of the connecting bolt 61 is fitted into the fitting recess 63 to function.

複数の連結ボルト６１の嵌合突起６１ａを、対応する嵌合凹部６３に嵌合させることで、基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３との相対的な姿勢変化の規制が実現する。これにより可撓連結部Ｆによって基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３との揺動が規制され、その結果として、基端側管路２１の基端側軸芯Ｙと、外端側管路２３の外端側軸芯Ｚとが同軸芯に保持される。 By fitting the fitting protrusions 61a of the plurality of connecting bolts 61 into the corresponding fitting recesses 63, the regulation of the relative posture change between the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 is realized. .. As a result, the flexible connecting portion F regulates the swing between the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23, and as a result, the proximal end side axial core Y of the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end. The outer end side shaft core Z of the side pipeline 23 is held by the coaxial core.

尚、この規制機構Ｒは、連結ボルト６１と、一対の連結ナット６２と、連結ボルト６１の先端の嵌合突起６１ａと、固定ボルト３４の頭部に形成された嵌合凹部６３とで構成されるものであるが、連結ボルト６１と一対の連結ナット６２とは、外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２とを連結するために兼用されている。 The regulation mechanism R is composed of a connecting bolt 61, a pair of connecting nuts 62, a fitting protrusion 61a at the tip of the connecting bolt 61, and a fitting recess 63 formed on the head of the fixing bolt 34. However, the connecting bolt 61 and the pair of connecting nuts 62 are also used to connect the outer end side flange portion 24 and the punching machine side flange portion 52.

〔作業用補修弁を用いた作業方法〕
図１に示すように、既設管１に分岐管ユニット１０を備え、この分岐管ユニット１０の分岐側フランジ部１７に作業用補修弁Ｖの基端側フランジ部２２を連結する。 [Working method using a repair valve for work]
As shown in FIG. 1, the existing pipe 1 is provided with a branch pipe unit 10, and the base end side flange portion 22 of the work repair valve V is connected to the branch side flange portion 17 of the branch pipe unit 10.

次に、この連結状態において、図４に示すように規制機構Ｒを機能させることで分岐管路１６と弁ユニット２０の基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とを直線状に配置する。つまり、複数の連結ボルト６１の嵌合突起６１ａを、対応する嵌合凹部６３に嵌合させるように連結ボルト６１の位置を決める。これにより、基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが同軸芯に保持され、結果として、流路軸芯Ｘの延長上において、基端側軸芯Ｙと外端側軸芯Ｚとが同軸芯に保持される。 Next, in this connected state, the branch pipeline 16, the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 of the valve unit 20 are linearly arranged by making the regulation mechanism R function as shown in FIG. To do. That is, the position of the connecting bolt 61 is determined so that the fitting protrusions 61a of the plurality of connecting bolts 61 are fitted into the corresponding fitting recesses 63. As a result, the base end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 are held by the coaxial core, and as a result, the proximal end side axis Y and the outer end side axis Z are extended on the extension of the flow path axis X. Is held on the coaxial core.

この状態で弁ユニット２０の開閉弁機構４０を開放状態に設定し、穿孔機５０（作業機器の一例）のカッター軸５３ａを伸長させ、カッター軸５３ａと一体的にカッター５３を駆動回転し、既設管１の方向に送り出すことで既設管１に連通孔１ａを形成する。 In this state, the on-off valve mechanism 40 of the valve unit 20 is set to the open state, the cutter shaft 53a of the drilling machine 50 (an example of working equipment) is extended, and the cutter 53 is driven and rotated integrally with the cutter shaft 53a. A communication hole 1a is formed in the existing pipe 1 by feeding out in the direction of the pipe 1.

この作業方法では、前述したように規制機構Ｒを機能させることにより、分岐管路１６と弁ユニット２０の基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが直線状に配置されるため、カッター５３を送り出す際にカッター５３を、基端側管路２１や分岐管路１６の内面に接触させることなく、適正な位置に導入し、既設管１に連通孔１ａを形成できる。 In this work method, by making the regulation mechanism R function as described above, the branch pipe line 16, the base end side pipe line 21 of the valve unit 20, and the outer end side pipe line 23 are arranged in a straight line. When the cutter 53 is sent out, the cutter 53 can be introduced at an appropriate position without contacting the inner surface of the proximal end side pipeline 21 or the branch pipeline 16 to form a communication hole 1a in the existing pipe 1.

また、既設管１に連通孔１ａを形成した後には、分岐管路１６及び弁ユニット２０の内側は充水状態となる。この後に、カッター５３を穿孔機本体５１の内部に収容し、弁ユニット２０の開閉弁機構４０を閉塞した状態で、穿孔機５０を取り外す。この際、穿孔機５０を取り外す時には連結ボルト６１と連結ナット６２を撤去するが、同時に規制機構Ｒの機能も解除されるため、効率が良い。また、穿孔機５０を取り外した後に、外端側フランジ部２４に消火栓あるいは空気弁等を取り付ける場合には、開閉弁機構４０を閉じた状態に設定してこれらの取付を行う。 Further, after the communication hole 1a is formed in the existing pipe 1, the inside of the branch pipe 16 and the valve unit 20 is filled with water. After that, the cutter 53 is housed inside the punching machine main body 51, and the punching machine 50 is removed with the on-off valve mechanism 40 of the valve unit 20 closed. At this time, when the drilling machine 50 is removed, the connecting bolt 61 and the connecting nut 62 are removed, but at the same time, the function of the regulation mechanism R is also canceled, which is efficient. Further, when attaching a fire hydrant, an air valve, or the like to the outer end side flange portion 24 after removing the drilling machine 50, the on-off valve mechanism 40 is set to a closed state and these are attached.

このように消火栓あるいは空気弁を取り付ける際に、全ネジ型の連結ボルト６１と連結ナット６２とを撤去し、頭付ボルト型の連結ボルト６１と、連結ナット６２とに取り換える作業が、ボルト毎に所定の順序で行われる。これにより、可撓連結部Ｆによる基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３との相対的な揺動が可能となり耐震性の向上を実現する。 When installing a fire hydrant or an air valve in this way, the work of removing the all-screw type connecting bolt 61 and the connecting nut 62 and replacing them with the head bolt type connecting bolt 61 and the connecting nut 62 is performed for each bolt. It is done in a predetermined order. As a result, the flexible connecting portion F enables the relative swing between the base end side pipe line 21 and the outer end side pipe line 23, and improves seismic resistance.

尚、全ネジ型の連結ボルト６１と連結ナット６２とを撤去する作業形態として、全ネジ型の連結ボルト６１のうち嵌合突起６１ａが形成された部位を切断除去しても良い。また、この撤去に代えて、規制機構Ｒを機能させないように、連結ナット６２の操作等により嵌合突起６１ａを嵌合凹部６３から分離する作業を行っても良い。 As a work mode for removing the all-screw type connecting bolt 61 and the connecting nut 62, the portion of the all-screw type connecting bolt 61 on which the fitting protrusion 61a is formed may be cut and removed. Further, instead of this removal, the fitting protrusion 61a may be separated from the fitting recess 63 by operating the connecting nut 62 or the like so that the regulation mechanism R does not function.

〔別実施形態〕
本発明は、上記した実施形態以外に以下のように構成しても良い（実施形態と同じ機能を有するものには、実施形態と共通の番号、符号を付している）。 [Another Embodiment]
The present invention may be configured as follows in addition to the above-described embodiment (those having the same functions as those in the embodiment are designated by the same number and reference numeral as those in the embodiment).

（ａ）図５に示すように、全ネジ型の連結ボルト６１Ａと、この連結ボルト６１Ａの端部に螺合する嵌合ナット６４と、嵌合ナット６４に形成された嵌合部６４ａと、基端側フランジ部２２の外側面に形成された嵌合凹部６３とで規制機構Ｒを構成する。この規制機構Ｒでは、嵌合ナット６４は袋ナットとして構成され、外面に嵌合部６４ａが形成されている。この嵌合部６４ａが嵌合するように、基端側フランジ部２２のうち連結ボルト６１Ａの軸芯の延長上に嵌合凹部６３が形成されている。 (A) As shown in FIG. 5, a full-screw type connecting bolt 61A, a fitting nut 64 screwed into the end of the connecting bolt 61A, and a fitting portion 64a formed on the fitting nut 64. The regulation mechanism R is formed by the fitting recess 63 formed on the outer surface of the base end side flange portion 22. In this regulation mechanism R, the fitting nut 64 is configured as a bag nut, and the fitting portion 64a is formed on the outer surface. A fitting recess 63 is formed on the extension of the shaft core of the connecting bolt 61A in the flange portion 22 on the base end side so that the fitting portion 64a fits.

この別実施形態（ａ）では、外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２とに４つのボルト挿通孔が形成された構成を想定しており、４つのボルト挿通孔を挿通する４本の連結ボルト６１Ａのうち、少なくとも２つに嵌合ナット６４を螺合させることにより、規制機構Ｒが構成されている。 In this other embodiment (a), it is assumed that four bolt insertion holes are formed in the outer end side flange portion 24 and the punching machine side flange portion 52, and four bolt insertion holes are inserted through the four bolt insertion holes. The regulation mechanism R is configured by screwing the fitting nut 64 into at least two of the connecting bolts 61A of the above.

これにより、連結ボルト６１Ａと連結ナット６２Ａとによって外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２とを連結固定する。また、このように連結固定する際には、嵌合ナット６４を連結ボルト６１Ａの先端に螺合させておき、この嵌合ナット６４の回転操作により嵌合部６４ａを嵌合凹部６３に嵌合させると共に、嵌合深さを調整することにより基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とを同軸芯に保持できる。 As a result, the connecting bolt 61A and the connecting nut 62A connect and fix the outer end side flange portion 24 and the punching machine side flange portion 52. Further, when connecting and fixing in this way, the fitting nut 64 is screwed into the tip of the connecting bolt 61A, and the fitting portion 64a is fitted into the fitting recess 63 by the rotation operation of the fitting nut 64. By adjusting the fitting depth, the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 can be held on the coaxial core.

また、規制機構Ｒによる規制を解除する場合には、嵌合ナット６４の回転操作により嵌合部６４ａを嵌合凹部６３から分離させることになる。尚、規制機構Ｒによる規制を解除するために、実施形態で説明したように頭付ボルト型の連結ボルト６１Ａと、連結ナット６２Ａとに取り換えても良い。 Further, when the regulation by the regulation mechanism R is released, the fitting portion 64a is separated from the fitting recess 63 by the rotation operation of the fitting nut 64. In addition, in order to release the regulation by the regulation mechanism R, the head bolt type connecting bolt 61A and the connecting nut 62A may be replaced as described in the embodiment.

この別実施形態（ａ）では、規制機構Ｒを構成するためだけに用いる嵌合凹部６３を基端側フランジ部２２に形成していたが、これに代えて、例えば、分岐側フランジ部１７に基端側フランジ部２２を連結するため、分岐側フランジ部１７から挿通するボルト（図１に示す締結ボルト２と同様に配置されるボルト）が螺合するネジ穴を基端側フランジ部２２に形成し、このネジ孔の上端部分を嵌合凹部６３に兼用するように構成しても良い。 In this other embodiment (a), the fitting recess 63 used only for forming the regulation mechanism R is formed in the base end side flange portion 22, but instead, for example, in the branch side flange portion 17. In order to connect the base end side flange portion 22, a screw hole into which a bolt inserted from the branch side flange portion 17 (a bolt arranged in the same manner as the fastening bolt 2 shown in FIG. 1) is screwed is provided in the base end side flange portion 22. It may be formed so that the upper end portion of the screw hole is also used as the fitting recess 63.

この別実施形態（ａ）の変形例として、実施形態に記載した構成と、この別実施形態（ａ）の構成とを組み合わせて規制機構Ｒを構成することも可能である。 As a modification of the alternative embodiment (a), the regulation mechanism R can be configured by combining the configuration described in the embodiment and the configuration of the alternative embodiment (a).

また、この別実施形態（ａ）の変形例として、嵌合凹部６３を、実施形態で説明した保持リング３３や、基端側管路２１から径方向外方側に突出した突出部に形成することも可能である。 Further, as a modification of the other embodiment (a), the fitting recess 63 is formed in the holding ring 33 described in the embodiment and the protruding portion protruding outward in the radial direction from the proximal end side pipeline 21. It is also possible.

（ｂ）図６、図７に示すように、第１クランプ７１と、第２クランプ７２と、これらの相対距離を調整自在に連結する連結シャフト７３とを備えて規制機構Ｒを構成する。 (B) As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the regulation mechanism R is composed of a first clamp 71, a second clamp 72, and a connecting shaft 73 that connects these relative distances in an adjustable manner.

第１クランプ７１は、連結シャフト７３の軸芯に沿って相対移動自在な第１主挟持部７１ａと、第１従挟持部７１ｂとで構成されている。また、第２クランプ７２は、連結シャフト７３の軸芯に沿って相対移動自在な第２主挟持部７２ａと、第２従挟持部７２ｂとで構成されている。 The first clamp 71 is composed of a first main clamp 71a and a first slave clamp 71b that are relatively movable along the axis of the connecting shaft 73. Further, the second clamp 72 is composed of a second main clamp portion 72a that is relatively movable along the axis of the connecting shaft 73 and a second slave clamp portion 72b.

連結シャフト７３は全長にネジが形成された全ネジ型のものが用いられ、第１主挟持部７１ａと第１従挟持部７１ｂとに個別にすることで、これらの位置関係を設定する一対の第１ナット７４が螺合する。また、第２主挟持部７２ａと、第２従挟持部７２ｂとに個別に当接することで、これらの位置関係を設定する一対の第２ナット７５が螺合する。 As the connecting shaft 73, a full-screw type having a screw formed on the entire length is used, and a pair of connecting shafts 73 are individually provided for the first main holding portion 71a and the first slave holding portion 71b to set the positional relationship between them. The first nut 74 is screwed. Further, by individually contacting the second main holding portion 72a and the second slave holding portion 72b, the pair of second nuts 75 that set the positional relationship between them are screwed together.

図７に示すように、第１クランプ７１は、第１主挟持部７１ａと第１従挟持部７１ｂとが連結状態にある分岐側フランジ部１７と基端側フランジ部２２とを、これらの重ね合わせ方向から挟持するように構成されている。第１主挟持部７１ａは二股状であり、連結ボルト６１の頭部の両側部を押圧している。 As shown in FIG. 7, in the first clamp 71, the branch side flange portion 17 and the base end side flange portion 22 in which the first main holding portion 71a and the first slave holding portion 71b are connected are overlapped with each other. It is configured to be clamped from the mating direction. The first main holding portion 71a has a bifurcated shape and presses both side portions of the head of the connecting bolt 61.

また、第２クランプ７２は、第２主挟持部７２ａと第２従挟持部７２ｂとが連結状態にある外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２（連結フランジ部の一例）とを、これらの重ね合わせ方向から挟持するように構成されている。第２主挟持部７２ａは二股状であり、締結ボルト２の頭部の両側部を押圧している。 Further, in the second clamp 72, the outer end side flange portion 24 in which the second main holding portion 72a and the second slave holding portion 72b are connected to each other and the punching machine side flange portion 52 (an example of the connecting flange portion) are connected. It is configured to be sandwiched from these overlapping directions. The second main holding portion 72a has a bifurcated shape and presses both side portions of the head of the fastening bolt 2.

つまり、一対の第１ナット７４の操作により分岐側フランジ部１７と基端側フランジ部２２とを第１クランプ７１で挟持し、一対の第２ナット７５の操作により外端側フランジ部２４と穿孔機側フランジ部５２を第２クランプ７２で挟持する。このように挟持する際に一対の第１ナット７４と一対の第２ナット７５との操作により挟持位置を調整することにより、基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが同軸芯に保持され、可撓連結部Ｆによって基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３とが互いに揺動する現象を規制できる。 That is, the branch side flange portion 17 and the base end side flange portion 22 are sandwiched by the first clamp 71 by operating the pair of first nuts 74, and the outer end side flange portion 24 is drilled by operating the pair of second nuts 75. The machine side flange portion 52 is sandwiched by the second clamp 72. By adjusting the pinching position by operating the pair of first nuts 74 and the pair of second nuts 75 during pinching in this way, the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 become coaxial cores. It is held, and the phenomenon that the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 swing with each other can be regulated by the flexible connecting portion F.

また、この構成の規制機構Ｒでは、規制機構Ｒによる規制を解除する場合には、第１クランプ７１と第２クランプ７２とを取り外すことになる。この構成ではフランジボルト穴を利用しない為、着脱は容易である。 Further, in the regulation mechanism R having this configuration, when the regulation by the regulation mechanism R is released, the first clamp 71 and the second clamp 72 are removed. Since this configuration does not use the flange bolt holes, it is easy to attach and detach.

この別実施形態（ｂ）では、第１クランプ７１と第２クランプ７２と連結シャフト７３とのセットの１組を規制機構Ｒとして示しており、この１組だけで規制機構Ｒを構成することが可能である。また、第１クランプ７１と第２クランプ７２と連結シャフト７３とのセットを３組以上用いたもので規制機構Ｒを構成しても良い。 In this other embodiment (b), one set of a set of the first clamp 71, the second clamp 72, and the connecting shaft 73 is shown as the regulation mechanism R, and the regulation mechanism R can be configured only by this one set. It is possible. Further, the regulation mechanism R may be configured by using three or more sets of the first clamp 71, the second clamp 72, and the connecting shaft 73.

It is fixed with a pair of fixing nuts 67 screwed into the bolt 66. As a result, the regulation mechanism R functions, and the swing between the proximal end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 is restricted. The regulation mechanism R can be removed by releasing the regulation by operating the fixing nut 67.

この別実施形態（ｃ）では、フランジ部の全てのボルト挿通孔に固定ボルト６６を挿通して規制機構Ｒとして機能させる必要はなく、例えば、単一の固定ボルト６６と４つの固定ナット６７とを用いて規制機構Ｒを構成することも可能である。つまり、フランジ部の複数のボルト挿通孔のうち平面視で２箇所のボルト挿通孔だけに固定ボルト６６を挿通し（例えば、図８のように）、これに螺合する４つの固定ナット６７により基端側管路２１と外端側管路２３との揺動を規制する。そして、穿孔機側フランジ部５２と外端側フランジ部２４とのうち、固定ボルト６６が挿通しない箇所のボルト挿通孔に連結ボルト６１を挿通して連結ナット６２で固定し、基端側フランジ部２２と分岐側フランジ部１７とのうち、固定ボルト６６が挿通しない箇所のボルト挿通孔に締結ボルト２を挿通して締結ナット３で締結することになる。 In this other embodiment (c), it is not necessary to insert the fixing bolts 66 into all the bolt insertion holes of the flange portion to function as the regulation mechanism R, for example, a single fixing bolt 66 and four fixing nuts 67. It is also possible to configure the regulatory mechanism R using. That is, the fixing bolt 66 is inserted into only two bolt insertion holes in the plan view among the plurality of bolt insertion holes in the flange portion (for example, as shown in FIG. 8), and the four fixing nuts 67 screwed into the fixing bolts 66 are used. The swing between the base end side pipeline 21 and the outer end side pipeline 23 is regulated. Then, the connecting bolt 61 is inserted into the bolt insertion hole of the punching machine side flange portion 52 and the outer end side flange portion 24 at the portion where the fixing bolt 66 cannot be inserted and fixed with the connecting nut 62, and the base end side flange portion is fixed.
