[0003] Another example is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-73785. In this joint, a joint body 90 and a tightening member 91 are preliminarily assembled as shown in FIG.
Is provided between the distal end surface of the tightening member 91 and the packing 92, and the retaining ring 93 is expanded and passed through while the flexible tube 10 is inserted.After that, the tightening member 91 is fully inserted into the joint body 90 in earnest. Pushing the retaining ring 93 and the packing 92 while retightening to prevent the diameter of the retaining ring 93 from expanding, and crushing and connecting several mountains of the flexible pipe ahead of the retaining ring 93 to the back wall 94 of the joint body This is, for example, a so-called retightening type.

Further, recently, there has been proposed a so-called one-touch type joint (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-164280) in which connection can be completed simply by pushing a flexible pipe into the joint body. Since there is no function, the tip of the flexible tube is crushed and a complete seal cannot be made. In particular, in the case of gas, those with uneasiness in sealing performance are not preferable,
Actually, as in the above two examples, a tightening type or a retightening type in which at least several tips of the flexible tube are crushed has been put to practical use.

The former conventional flexible pipe joint has a problem that it takes time and effort to perform the connection work since the joint parts are once separated and then assembled. Since this is a tightening work that originally involves friction, it also crushes several tips (2 to 5 peaks) of the flexible pipe, so this tightening work requires considerable force, and the cap nut has to be turned many times. So it takes a long time.

[0006] Next, the latter is pre-assembled in a pre-assembled state, and after the flexible tube is pushed in, the connection is completed only by retightening, so that the working time is relatively short. However, since several peaks of the flexible pipe, here three peaks, are to be crushed against the inner wall, the retightening amount of the tightening member is set to an amount corresponding to a pitch of approximately three peaks of the flexible pipe. . The problem here is that when you push in the flexible tube,
There is no guarantee that the mountain will pass through the snap ring, and there is no means to confirm it. That is, even if only one or two peaks are passed through, the same amount of additional tightening is obtained. In such a case, even if the additional tightening is performed, the amount of tightening for two or one mountain is insufficient, and there is a problem that the mountain cannot be completely crushed and leakage occurs from here. In order to solve this problem, for example, it is conceivable to provide a margin for the retightening amount. However, in this case, since the number of screwing rotations of the fastening member is further increased, there is a problem that a large amount of power and time are required for the connection work as in the previous example.

According to the above-mentioned joint for flexible pipes, the joint body and the nut are assembled in advance with an additional tightening amount such that the distance between the front end of the retainer and the back wall allows only one tip of the flexible pipe to pass. Have been. That is, when one mountain passes through the front end of the retainer, the front end collides with the inner wall and cannot move forward any further. In this state, if the user tries to pull out the flexible pipe once, the front end of the retainer is fitted and engaged with the valley next to the tip of the tip, so that the flexible pipe cannot be pulled out.
This makes it possible to confirm that the flexible tube has been inserted normally. Conversely, in the case where the flexible tube is actually pulled out while trying to be pulled out, it means that the tip has not yet passed through the retainer at all, and it is possible to know here that it is necessary to push the flexible tube further. It has such a pipe insertion confirmation function. Further, it is only necessary to crimp, that is, crush, the tip of the flexible pipe, that is, the force required for tightening the nut and the time required for connection are reduced.

The retainer 30 is a retaining member for the flexible tube, and has a locking portion 31 having four circumferentially cut grooves 35a to 35d for locking to the outer surface of the flexible tube as shown in FIG. And an annular guide body 32 having an engagement projection fixed to the rear end of the engagement portion 31 for holding the engagement portion 31 in an annular shape and engaging with the engagement groove 24 of the nut 20. The retainer 30 including the locking portion 31 and the guide body 32 is rotatably locked to the nut 20 so as to be movable in the axial direction. In this case, since the guide body 32 is made of resin, the guide body 32 is inserted into the engagement groove 24 while being slightly reduced in the inner diameter direction, so that the guide body 32 is fitted with a snap. The locking portion 31 of the retainer 30 and the guide body 32 may be integrally formed of resin as long as the strength required for crimping the distal end portion of the flexible tube is provided. 32 may be formed of a resin and fixed integrally with an adhesive, or both may be formed of an integrally elastic metal. In addition, the front end 33 of the locking portion 31 is, as shown in FIG.
Although it is a single projecting shape that locks on the ridge, a plurality of ridges that lock on the ridge except for one ridge at the tip of the flexible tube 7 may be used.

Next, the procedure for connecting the flexible pipe joint of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 shows a state before the flexible pipe 7 is inserted. First, the joint body 10 and the nut 20 are spaced apart from the front end 33 of the retainer 30 and the inner wall (including the gasket 40 in this case). However, when the tip of the flexible pipe gets over one mountain and comes into contact with the back wall, the tightening amount is left so that the front end engages with the next valley (first valley).
That is, when one mountain passes through the front end of the retainer, the front end collides with the back wall and is screwed in advance to a position where it cannot move forward any more. On the other hand, at this time, the locking portion 31 of the retainer 30 is also in a state where the diameter can be expanded in the annular concave portion 16 of the main body 10. In other words, the front end 33 of the locking portion 31 is at a position where it does not fit into the reduced diameter hole 17. A collar 34 is attached between the main body 10 and the end of the nut 20 to maintain this screwed state.

Next, when the flexible pipe 7 to be connected is inserted from the rear end of the nut 20, the first ridge 7 b at the tip of the flexible pipe 7 pushes and expands the front end 33 of the retainer 30 as shown in FIG. After passing through, the tip 7a hits the inner wall and cannot move forward any further. In this state, the front end 33 is reduced in diameter to the original state and is fitted and locked in the first valley. Therefore, even if the flexible tube 7 is to be pulled out here, the front end 33
Does not come out of the joint body by engaging with the valley. If the user further attempts to pull out, the front end is fitted into the inner diameter surface on the front side, so that pulling out can be more strongly prevented. On the other hand, if the flexible tube comes off here, one ridge of the front end of the retainer 3
3, which means that it is not passed through, and it is confirmed that it is necessary to push it further.

Next, when the collar 34 is removed and the nut 20 is rotated to tighten the joint body 10 again, the front end face 25 of the nut 20 comes into contact with the rear end face of the guide body 32 of the retainer 30 as shown in FIG. The part 31 is pushed into the reduced diameter hole 17.
Therefore, the front end portion 33 of the locking portion 31 is completely fitted into the first valley portion and is pressed against the back wall side while reducing the diameter of the first mountain portion of the flexible pipe 7. At this time, the nut 20 is rotated, but the retainer 30 is rotatably engaged with the nut 20. Therefore, the retainer 30 is locked by the frictional resistance reduced in the diameter reducing hole 17 and does not rotate. In this manner, one tip of the tip is sandwiched between the retainer and the inner wall via the gasket, and the sandwiching completely seals the flexible pipe and the joint body. After the tightening is completed, the outer seal is performed by the O-ring 50 and the T-shaped packing 60, so that corrosive water does not enter the connection portion. The connection of the flexible tube 7 is completed as described above.
