Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、管体の連結方法及び連結構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
地盤に複数の鋼管を挿入して地盤を補強する補強土工法などにおいては、鋼管を順次継ぎ足しながら地中に打設して行く。このとき鋼管の連結部は、短管の内周面の両端側に雌ねじ部を有するカップリングで連結される。
【0003】
従来の管体の連結方法は、先ず、工場などにおいて、管体の一端の雄ねじ部に、カップリングの雌ねじ部を機械締めにより完全に螺着する。次に、現場において、地中に挿入されている管体の露出端部に予め装着されたカップリングの雌ねじ部に、新たな管体の一端の雄ねじ部を機械締めにより完全に螺着して行われる。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述の従来技術には次のような課題がある。
<イ>管体同士をカップリングにより連結するためには、機械を用いた締結作業を2度行う必要があり、連結作業が煩雑である。
【0005】
<ロ>予め管体の一端にカップリングを機械により完全に締結してしまうため、現場において、カップリングの変形による交換やねじ溝内の清掃の際の取り外しができない。そのため、管体自体の使用ができないおそれがあり不経済であると共に、ねじ溝が詰まった状態での連結は、所定の連結強度が得られないおそれもある。
【0006】
【発明の目的】
本発明は、上記のような問題点を解決するためになされたもので、管体の連結作業を容易にし、かつ現場においてカップリングの着脱が可能な管体の連結方法及び連結構造を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するため、本発明は請求項1として、両端部に先細り状の雄ねじ部を有する管体同士を、短管の内周面に軸方向の中心部から両端部に向かって徐々に拡径する二つの雌ねじ部を有するカップリングを用いて連結する方法であって、一方の前記管体の一端側の雄ねじ部と、前記カップリングの一端側の雌ねじ部とを、機械締めの締め代を残した状態で手締めにより螺合した後、他方の前記管体を機械締めにより回転させて、この他方の管体の一端側の雄ねじ部を、前記カップリングの他端側の雌ねじ部に螺着し、さらに前記他方の管体と供回りさせて前記カップリングを回転させ、前記機械締めの締め代分を前記一方の管体の一端側の雄ねじ部に螺着すると共に、前記両管体の端面同士を突き合わせた状態で螺着作業を終了することを特徴とした、管体の連結方法を提供する。
【0008】
請求項2として、管体の端部に設けた雄ねじ部と、短管状カップリングの内周面の両端部側に設けた二つの雌ねじ部の一方とを螺合して、管体同士の端部間をカップリングにより連結する構造において、前記管体の雄ねじ部は先細り状に形成し、前記カップリングの二つの雌ねじ部は、カップリングの軸方向の中心部から両端部に向かって徐々に拡径して形成し、前記管体の雄ねじ部の基端部側近傍に前記両管体の端面同士の突き合わせ状態を確認するための目印を付したことを特徴とする、管体の連結構造を提供する。
【0009】
請求項3として、上記請求項2に記載の管体の連結構造において、前記管体の雄ねじ部と前記カップリングの雌ねじ部とは、カップリングの軸方向中心側の螺合終期位置において、機械締めの締め代を形成するようねじ径公差を設定し、かつ螺合初期位置から前記機械締めの締め代までの間を、手締め可能なねじ径公差で形成したことを特徴とする、管体の連結構造。以下、図面を参照しながら、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
<イ>管体の形状
図1、2に示すように、管体1a、1bの両端部には、先細り状の雄ねじ部11が形成されている。これらの管体1a、1bは、後述のカップリング2を用いて、それらの端面12同士が突き合わさった状態で連結される。なお、管体1a、1bの雄ねじ部11の基端部側近傍には、締結作業完了を確認するための目印13を付しておく。
【0011】
<ロ>カップリングの形状
カップリング2は短管状で、その内周面の軸方向の中心部から両端部に向かって徐々に拡径する二つの雌ねじ部21a、21bを有している。これらの雌ねじ部21a、21bは、後述のねじ径公差を以って管体1a、1bの雄ねじ部11と螺合する。なお、カップリング2の外周面の両端部側には面取り部22を形成しておき、管体1a、1bを地盤に挿入する場合などに、その挿入抵抗の低減を図る。
【0012】
<ハ>ねじ径公差
管体1a、1bの雄ねじ部11と、カップリング2の雌ねじ部21a、21bとは、図3に示すように、カップリング2の軸方向中心側の螺合終期位置において、機械締めの締め代h1を形成するようねじ径公差を設定する。
【0013】
ここで機械締めの締め代とは、手では無理で機械でなければ締結できない範囲であり、一旦締結したら、着脱が困難な程度に強固に螺着するように、雄ねじ部11と雌ねじ部21a、21bとのねじ径公差を設定した範囲を言う。
【0014】
また、螺合初期位置から機械締めの締め代h1までの間(h2)を、手締め可能なねじ径公差になるよう設定する。
【0015】
ここで手締め可能なねじ径公差とは、手で締結できる程度に設定された雄ねじ部11と雌ねじ部21a、21bとのねじ径公差を言う。この場合、一度締結しても、着脱を容易に行うことができる。
【0016】
<ニ>連結方法
以下の手順で連結する。
(1)カップリングの手締めによる螺着
図3に示すように、予め工場において、あるいは現場において、一方の管体1aの雄ねじ部11に、カップリング2の一端側の雌ねじ部21aを、手締め範囲h2に亘って手締めにより螺合する。螺着の際には、管体1a及びカップリング2のねじ清掃を行い、グリースを塗布しておくとよい。
【0017】
(2)機械締めによる螺着
図4に示すように、他方の管体1bを機械締めにより回転させて、その一端側の雄ねじ部11を、カップリング2の他端側の雌ねじ部21bに完全に螺着する。この管体1bも手締め範囲h1を経て機械締めの締め代h2の範囲で締結が完全に行われる。従って、手締め範囲h1の範囲においては、手締めにより締結しても構わない。
【0018】
さらに図5に示すように、管体1bと供回りさせてカップリング2を回転させ、機械締めの締め代h1分を管体1aの雄ねじ部11に螺着すると共に、両管体1a、1bの端面12同士を突き合わせた状態で螺着作業を終了する。
【0019】
なお、機械締めのときは、ねじ部の食いつき、摩擦によるねじかじりを防止するため、低速回転での作業を望ましい。
【0020】
また、締結完了の確認方法としては、図1に示す目印13の三角マークの底辺が、カップリング2の端縁に重なるかカップリング2内に入っている場合、どちらか一方の底辺がカップリング2内に入り、他方の底辺がカップリング2の端縁より所定距離以上離れていない場合、両マークの頂点間を測定して所定距離以内である場合に、締結が良好に行われたと判断する方法をとることができる。
【0021】
【発明の効果】
本発明は以上説明したようになるため、次のような効果を得ることができる。<イ>ほとんど手数を要しない手締め作業と、機械による締結作業により管体を連結するため、機械締めは1度で済み、連結作業を容易かつ迅速に行える。
【0022】
<ロ>カップリングは手締めによる仮止め状態であるため、現場において、カップリングの変形による交換やねじ溝内の清掃の際の取り外しが容易に行える。そのため、従来のような管体自体の使用が不可能になることがなく、またねじ溝の清掃を確実に行えるため、管体の所定の連結強度を得ることができる。

[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
<A> Shape of Tube As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, tapered male threads 11 are formed at both ends of the tubes 1a and 1b. These pipes 1a and 1b are connected using a coupling 2 described later, with their end faces 12 abutting each other. A mark 13 for confirming the completion of the fastening operation is provided near the proximal end side of the male screw portion 11 of each of the tubular bodies 1a and 1b.
[0011]
<B> Shape of Coupling The coupling 2 is a short tube, and has two female screw portions 21a and 21b whose diameter gradually increases from the axial center of the inner peripheral surface toward both ends.

In addition, chamfered portions 22 are formed on both ends of the outer peripheral surface of the coupling 2 to reduce the insertion resistance when the pipes 1a and 1b are inserted into the ground.
[0012]
<C> As shown in FIG. 3, the male screw portion 11 of the screw diameter tolerance pipes 1 a and 1 b and the female screw portions 21 a and 21 b of the coupling 2 are at the screwing end position on the axial center side of the coupling 2. The screw diameter tolerance is set so as to form the interference h1 of the mechanical tightening.
[0013]
Here, the tightening margin of the mechanical tightening is a range that cannot be tightened by hand and cannot be tightened unless it is a machine. Once tightened, the male screw portion 11 and the female screw portion 21a, 21b means a range in which the screw diameter tolerance is set.
[0014]
In addition, a period (h2) from the screwing initial position to the machine tightening allowance h1 is set to be a screw diameter tolerance that can be manually tightened.
[0015]
Here, the screw diameter tolerance that can be manually tightened refers to a screw diameter tolerance between the male screw portion 11 and the female screw portions 21a and 21b set to an extent that can be manually tightened. In this case, attachment and detachment can be easily performed even after fastening once.
[0016]
<D> Connection method Connection is performed in the following procedure.
(1) Screwing the coupling by hand tightening As shown in FIG. 3, the female screw part 21a on one end side of the coupling 2 is manually attached to the male screw part 11 of one of the tubular bodies 1a in a factory or on site in advance. It is screwed by hand over the tightening range h2. At the time of screwing, it is preferable to clean the pipe 1a and the coupling 2 with screws and apply grease in advance.
[0017]
(2) Screwing by mechanical tightening As shown in FIG. 4, the other tube 1b is rotated by mechanical tightening, and the male screw portion 11 on one end side is completely connected to the female screw portion 21b on the other end side of the coupling 2. Screw. This pipe 1b is also completely tightened in the range of the mechanical interference h2 via the manual tightening range h1. Therefore, in the range of the hand tightening range h1, the fastening may be performed by hand tightening.
[0018]
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the coupling 2 is rotated by rotating the coupling 2 with the tube 1 b, and a margin h 1 for mechanical tightening is screwed to the external thread portion 11 of the tube 1 a, and both the tubes 1 a, 1 b The screwing operation is completed in a state where the end faces 12 are abutted with each other.
[0019]
At the time of mechanical tightening, it is desirable to operate at a low speed to prevent biting of the screw portion and galling of the screw due to friction.
[0020]
In addition, as a method of confirming the completion of the fastening, when the bottom of the triangular mark of the mark 13 shown in FIG. 1 overlaps with the edge of the coupling 2 or is inside the coupling 2, one of the bottoms is the coupling. 2 and the other base is not separated from the edge of the coupling 2 by a predetermined distance or more, if the distance between the vertices of both marks is measured and within a predetermined distance, it is determined that the fastening has been successfully performed. You can take the method.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention has been described above, the following effects can be obtained. <A> Since the pipes are connected by a manual tightening operation requiring almost no trouble and a mechanical tightening operation, the mechanical tightening only needs to be performed once and the connecting operation can be performed easily and quickly.
[0022]
<B> Since the coupling is in a temporarily fixed state by manual tightening, it can be easily replaced at the site due to deformation of the coupling or removed when cleaning the inside of the screw groove. Therefore, the conventional use of the tube itself is not impossible, and the thread groove can be reliably cleaned, so that a predetermined connection strength of the tube can be obtained.
