Description

本発明は、ボルト連結されている両フランジ部の外側面に各別に当接可能な押圧部を備えた一対の挟持部材と、この両挾持部材の押圧部を両フランジ部の外側面に当て付けた状態で当該両挾持部材をフランジ接合方向に引き寄せて締付固定する締結手段とを備えたフランジ接合部補強治具に関する。   The present invention relates to a pair of clamping members each having a pressing portion that can be brought into contact with the outer surface of both flange portions that are bolted together, and the pressing portions of the both holding members applied to the outer surfaces of both flange portions. It is related with the flange joint part reinforcement jig provided with the fastening means which draws both the said holding members in the flange joining direction in the state where it clamped, and is fastened and fixed.

かかるフランジ接合部補強治具として、例えば、特許文献1には、両挟持部材のフランジ接合方向で相対向する部位に、両フランジ部の外周面よりも径方向外方側位置に形成された一対のボルト螺合孔(締結手段の一例)が形成され、両挟持部材においてボルト螺合孔よりも径方向内方側位置に形成された押圧部を両フランジ部の外側面に当て付けた状態で、両ネジボルト(締結手段の一例)を一対のボルト螺合孔に亘って螺合させた構成が開示されている。   As such a flange joint portion reinforcing jig, for example, in Patent Document 1, a pair formed in a radially outward position with respect to the outer peripheral surfaces of both flange portions at portions facing each other in the flange joint direction of both sandwiching members. The bolt screw holes (an example of fastening means) are formed, and the pressing parts formed at the radially inner side positions than the bolt screw holes in both clamping members are applied to the outer surfaces of both flange parts. A configuration in which both screw bolts (an example of fastening means) are screwed over a pair of bolt screw holes is disclosed.

また、かかるフランジ接合部補強治具として、例えば、特許文献2には、両挟持部材の一方が一対の脚部を備えた概略コ字形状部材で構成され、両挟持部材の他方が一対の脚部のうちの一方に螺合装着されるボルト(締結手段の一例)により構成されており、ボルトの先端及びコ字形状部材の当該ボルトが装着されていない他方の脚部の内周面が、両フランジ部の外側面を各別に押圧する押圧部とされた構成が開示されている。そして、一方の脚部にボルトを螺合させ、更に締め込むことにより、ボルトの先端及び他方の脚部の内周面をフランジ部の外側面に各別に当接させて、一対の挟持部材(コ字形状部材及びボルト)によりフランジ部を締付固定する構成とされている。   Further, as such a flange joint reinforcing jig, for example, in Patent Document 2, one of both sandwiching members is configured by a substantially U-shaped member having a pair of legs, and the other of both sandwiching members is a pair of legs. It is constituted by a bolt (an example of a fastening means) that is screwed and attached to one of the parts, and the inner peripheral surface of the other leg part to which the bolt and the bolt of the U-shaped member are not attached, The structure made into the press part which presses the outer surface of both flange parts separately is disclosed. Then, a bolt is screwed into one leg portion and further tightened, whereby the tip end of the bolt and the inner peripheral surface of the other leg portion are brought into contact with the outer side surface of the flange portion separately, and a pair of clamping members ( The flange portion is fastened and fixed by a U-shaped member and a bolt).

これらフランジ接合部補強治具を用いて、一対の挟持部材を締結手段により締付固定することで、複数のボルト・ナットによる両フランジ部の接合強度に加えて、締結手段による締結強度も付加することができ、両フランジ部に曲げ方向或いは引張方向に力が作用した場合でも、両フランジ部が離間することを防止して気密性を保持できるとされている。   By using these flange joint reinforcement jigs, a pair of clamping members are fastened and fixed by fastening means, thereby adding fastening strength by fastening means in addition to the joint strength of both flanges by a plurality of bolts and nuts. Even when a force is applied to both flange portions in the bending direction or the pulling direction, the flange portions can be prevented from separating and airtightness can be maintained.

特許第4157413号公報Japanese Patent No. 4157413 特許第4363565号公報Japanese Patent No. 4363565

ここで、両フランジ部を含む流体管路の耐震性をより向上させるために、既存或いは新設の両フランジ部を、耐震管路と同等(離脱防止力が3DkN以上(Dは呼び径))の耐震性能A級の性能を有するものに補強することが望まれる。
また、両フランジ部に曲げ方向或いは引張方向の力が作用した場合でも、両フランジ部の離間を防止し、内部を通流する流体の漏洩を確実に防止できる構成とすることが望まれる。
Here, in order to further improve the seismic resistance of the fluid pipe including both flanges, the existing or newly installed both flanges are equivalent to the seismic pipes (the separation prevention force is 3DkN or more (D is the nominal diameter)). It is desired to reinforce those having seismic performance class A performance.
In addition, even when a force in the bending direction or the tensile direction is applied to both flange portions, it is desirable that the both flange portions be prevented from separating and the fluid flowing through the interior can be reliably prevented from leaking.

さらに、両フランジ部の一方が、空気弁、補修弁、短管等の流体機器の一端側に形成されたフランジ部である場合には、当該両フランジ部にフランジ接合部補強治具を装着する際、フランジ接合部補強治具が流体機器に干渉する可能性がある。特に、流体機器の外径が両フランジ部に接続される流体管の外径よりも大径で、しかも、流体機器と当該流体機器の一端側に形成されたフランジ部とが流体管の管軸方向において近接する場合には、両フランジ部にフランジ接合部補強治具を装着する際、フランジ接合部補強治具が当該流体機器に干渉して装着が不能となることがあり、また、装着できたとしても、装着に手間が掛かるとともに、所期の装着位置からずれた不良な装着状態のまま装着されてしまう可能性がある。このような不良な装着状態では、両フランジ部に曲げ方向或いは引張方向の力が作用した場合に、フランジ接合部補強治具が、両フランジ部から離脱したり止水性能が低下したりして流体が漏洩する可能性がある。
同様に、両フランジ部の一方が流体機器の一端側に形成されたフランジ部である場合には、当該両フランジ部にフランジ接合部補強治具を装着する際、フランジ接合部補強治具が流体機器の他端側に形成されたフランジ部に干渉し、装着が不良或いは不能となる可能性もある。
Furthermore, when one of the two flange portions is a flange portion formed on one end side of a fluid device such as an air valve, a repair valve, a short pipe, etc., a flange joint reinforcing jig is attached to both the flange portions. At this time, the flange joint reinforcement jig may interfere with the fluid device. In particular, the outer diameter of the fluid device is larger than the outer diameter of the fluid pipe connected to both flange portions, and the fluid device and the flange portion formed on one end side of the fluid device are the tube axis of the fluid tube. If the flange joint reinforcement jigs are attached to both flanges, the flange joint reinforcement jigs may interfere with the fluid equipment and cannot be installed. Even if this is the case, it takes time and effort, and there is a possibility that it will be mounted in a defective mounting state deviated from the intended mounting position. In such a defective mounting state, when a force in the bending direction or the tensile direction acts on both flange portions, the flange joint reinforcing jig may come off from both flange portions or the water stop performance may deteriorate. Fluid may leak.
Similarly, when one of the flange portions is a flange portion formed on one end side of the fluid device, when the flange joint reinforcement jig is attached to both flange portions, the flange joint reinforcement jig is fluid. It may interfere with the flange portion formed on the other end side of the device, and the mounting may be defective or impossible.

これら点について着目すると、上記特許文献1に開示のフランジ接合部補強治具では、両フランジ部の外側面に各別に当接する押圧部を備えた一対の挟持部材が、当該押圧部の径方向外方側に形成された一対のボルト螺合孔に亘って螺合させた両ネジボルトにより締付固定されており、一対の挟持部材は実質的に一対のボルト螺合孔及び両ネジボルトのみで締付固定されているに過ぎず、両フランジ部に曲げ方向或いは引張方向の力が作用した際には、当該力が、フランジ部及び一対の挟持部材を介して一対のボルト螺合孔と両ネジボルトとの螺合箇所に集中し、両ネジボルトが伸長したり、螺合箇所のねじ山が破壊される場合があり、両フランジ部が離間する可能性がある。この場合、両フランジ部間から流体が漏洩する可能性があるとともに、両フランジ部を上述の耐震管路と同等の耐震性能を有する程度にまで補強することは困難となる。   Focusing on these points, in the flange joint reinforcing jig disclosed in Patent Document 1, a pair of clamping members each having a pressing portion that abuts against the outer surface of both flange portions is located radially outside the pressing portion. It is fastened and fixed by both screw bolts screwed over a pair of bolt screw holes formed on the side, and the pair of clamping members are substantially tightened only by the pair of screw screw holes and both screw bolts. It is only fixed, and when a force in the bending direction or the tensile direction acts on both flange portions, the force is applied to the pair of bolt screw holes and the screw bolts via the flange portion and the pair of clamping members. There is a possibility that both screw bolts may be stretched and the screw thread at the screwed portion may be broken, and the two flange portions may be separated. In this case, fluid may leak from between both flange portions, and it will be difficult to reinforce both flange portions to such an extent that they have the same seismic performance as the above-mentioned seismic ducts.

また、上記特許文献2に開示のフランジ接合部補強治具では、ボルトがコ字形状部材の一方の脚部に管軸方向の外方側から螺合装着され、当該ボルトの先端がフランジ部の外側面に当接する構成とされている。このため、コ字形状部材の管軸方向の外方側部位には、ボルトを一方の脚部に螺合装着させるための作業用空間が必要となり、両フランジ部の一方が空気弁や補修弁等の流体機器の一端側に形成されたフランジ部である場合には、両フランジ部にフランジ接合部補強治具を装着する際、フランジ接合部補強治具やボルトが流体機器や当該流体機器の他端側に形成されたフランジ部に干渉して装着が不能或いは不良となる可能性がある。
さらに、ボルトの先端がフランジ部の外側面に当接すると当該外側面に傷がつき腐食等の原因になるとともに、当該傷を防止するためにボルトの先端に保護部材を装着すると、当該ボルトがコ字形状部材の管軸方向の外方側部位に突出する突出代が大きくなり、当該外方側部位に大きな作業用空間を形成しなければフランジ接合部補強治具の両フランジ部への装着が、より一層不能或いは不良となる可能性がある。
Further, in the flange joint reinforcing jig disclosed in Patent Document 2, a bolt is screwed to one leg of the U-shaped member from the outer side in the tube axis direction, and the tip of the bolt is the flange portion. It is set as the structure contact | abutted on an outer surface. For this reason, a working space for screwing the bolt into one leg is required on the outer side portion of the U-shaped member in the tube axis direction, and one of the two flanges is an air valve or a repair valve. For example, when the flange joint reinforcing jig or bolt is attached to both flange parts, the flange joint reinforcing jig or bolt is connected to the fluid equipment or the fluid equipment. There is a possibility that the mounting may be impossible or defective due to interference with the flange portion formed on the other end side.
Further, if the tip of the bolt comes into contact with the outer surface of the flange portion, the outer surface is scratched and causes corrosion and the like, and if a protective member is attached to the tip of the bolt to prevent the scratch, the bolt If the protruding margin of the U-shaped member protruding to the outer side portion in the tube axis direction is large and a large working space is not formed in the outer side portion, the flange joint reinforcing jig is attached to both flange portions. However, there is a possibility of becoming even more impossible or defective.

本発明は、かかる実情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、両フランジ部に容易且つ確実に装着できるとともに、両フランジ部を含む流体管路を所定の耐震性能を備えた耐震管路に補強でき、しかも、両フランジ部の離間やずれを簡便且つ安価に防止して止水性能を向上できるフランジ接合部補強治具を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a seismic duct having a predetermined seismic performance for a fluid duct including both flange sections, which can be easily and reliably attached to both flange sections. Another object of the present invention is to provide a flange joint reinforcing jig capable of improving the water stop performance by easily and inexpensively preventing separation and displacement of both flange portions.

上記目的を達成するための本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具は、ボルト連結されている両フランジ部の外側面に各別に当接可能な押圧部を備えた一対の挟持部材と、この両挾持部材の押圧部を両フランジ部の外側面に当て付けた状態で当該両挾持部材をフランジ接合方向に引き寄せて締付固定する締結手段とを備えたフランジ接合部補強治具であって、その特徴構成は、
前記両挾持部材のフランジ接合方向で相対向する部位に、前記両フランジ部の外周面よりも径方向外方側位置においてフランジ接合方向から嵌合する内嵌合部と外嵌合部とが形成され、
少なくとも一方の挟持部材の押圧部を、前記内嵌合部又は前記外嵌合部に対して前記両フランジ部の径方向に進退自在な進退手段を備えた点にある。
In order to achieve the above object, a flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention comprises a pair of clamping members each having a pressing portion capable of abutting against the outer surface of both flanges connected to each other by bolts. A flange joint reinforcement jig comprising a fastening means for pulling and fixing both gripping members in the flange joining direction in a state where the pressing portions of the gripping members are applied to the outer surfaces of both flanges, The feature configuration is
An inner fitting portion and an outer fitting portion that are fitted from the flange joining direction at a radially outer side position than the outer peripheral surface of the both flange portions are formed at portions facing each other in the flange joining direction of the both holding members. And
The pressing portion of at least one of the clamping members is provided with an advancing / retreating means that is movable back and forth in the radial direction of both flange portions with respect to the inner fitting portion or the outer fitting portion.

上記特徴構成によれば、一対の挟持部材におけるフランジ接合方向で相対向する各部位に、両フランジ部の外周面よりも径方向外方側位置においてフランジ接合方向から嵌合する内嵌合部と外嵌合部とが形成されているので、一対の挟持部材の各押圧部を両フランジ部の外側面に各別に当て付けた状態で締結手段を締付けると、両挟持部材がフランジ接合方向に引き寄せられるにつれて、内嵌合部が外嵌合部内に嵌合し、内嵌合部と外嵌合部とがフランジ接合方向(軸方向)で重なった状態となる。
これにより、一対の挟持部材が締結手段により締付固定された状態で、両フランジ部に曲げ方向(径方向)への力が作用した場合でも、締結手段の締結部位に加えて、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との重なり部位でも当該力を受け止めることができ、締結手段の締結部位に掛かる応力の低減を図ることができる。従って、フランジ接合部補強治具による両フランジ部の接合強度を向上させて、両フランジ部の離間やずれ及びこれらに伴う流体の漏洩を防止することができ、管路の耐震性能の向上をも図ることができる。
According to the above characteristic configuration, the inner fitting portions that are fitted from the flange joining direction at positions radially outward from the outer peripheral surfaces of the two flange portions to the respective portions facing each other in the flange joining direction of the pair of holding members. Since the outer fitting part is formed, if the fastening means is tightened with the pressing parts of the pair of clamping members applied to the outer surfaces of the flange parts separately, the clamping members are pulled in the flange joining direction. As a result, the inner fitting portion is fitted into the outer fitting portion, and the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion are overlapped in the flange joining direction (axial direction).
As a result, even when a force in the bending direction (radial direction) acts on both flange portions in a state where the pair of clamping members are clamped and fixed by the fastening means, in addition to the fastening part of the fastening means, the inner fitting The force can be received even at the overlapping portion of the portion and the outer fitting portion, and the stress applied to the fastening portion of the fastening means can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to improve the joint strength of both flange portions by the flange joint reinforcement jig, to prevent separation and displacement of both flange portions and fluid leakage accompanying them, and to improve the seismic performance of the pipeline. Can be planned.

加えて、少なくとも一方の挟持部材の押圧部を内嵌合部又は外嵌合部に対して両フランジ部の径方向に進退自在な進退手段を備えているので、フランジ接合部補強治具を両フランジ部に装着する際などに、当該押圧部を内嵌合部又は外嵌合部に対して両フランジ部の径方向に進退させて、当該押圧部がフランジ部の外側面に当て付けられる位置を適宜調整することができる。
これにより、例えば、両フランジ部のうち一方のフランジ部に接続された空気弁や補修弁等の流体機器の外径が当該フランジ部に接続される流体管の外径よりも大径で、しかも、流体機器と当該フランジ部とが流体管の管軸方向において近接する場合であっても、一方の挟持部材の押圧部を両フランジ部の径方向外方側に適宜引退させることで、当該押圧部が流体機器に干渉しない状態で両挟持部材を両フランジ部に装着することができる。また、例えば、両フランジ部のうち一方のフランジ部に空気弁等の流体機器が接続されていない場合には、当該一方の挟持部材の押圧部を両フランジ部の径方向内方側に適宜進入させることで、当該押圧部を所期の装着位置に装着させることができる。なお、当該押圧部を両フランジ部の径方向に進退させることは、フランジ接合部補強治具を両フランジ部に装着する際のみならず、両フランジ部への装着前、装着中、装着後、或いは、離脱後であってもよく、また、両フランジ部の一方に流体機器が接続されている場合でも接続されていない場合であってもよい。
よって、両フランジ部に容易且つ確実に装着できるとともに、両フランジ部を含む流体管路を所定の耐震性能を備えた耐震管路に補強でき、しかも、両フランジ部の離間やずれを簡便且つ安価に防止して止水性能を向上できる。
In addition, since the pressing portion of at least one clamping member is provided with an advancing / retracting means that can be moved back and forth in the radial direction of both flange portions with respect to the inner fitting portion or the outer fitting portion, both flange joint reinforcing jigs are provided. The position at which the pressing portion is applied to the outer surface of the flange portion by moving the pressing portion forward and backward in the radial direction of both flange portions with respect to the inner fitting portion or the outer fitting portion when mounting on the flange portion, etc. Can be adjusted as appropriate.
Thus, for example, the outer diameter of a fluid device such as an air valve or a repair valve connected to one of the flange portions is larger than the outer diameter of the fluid pipe connected to the flange portion, and Even when the fluid device and the flange portion are close to each other in the tube axis direction of the fluid pipe, the pressing portion of one clamping member is appropriately retracted to the radially outward side of both flange portions to Both clamping members can be attached to both flange portions in a state where the portion does not interfere with the fluid device. For example, when a fluid device such as an air valve is not connected to one of the flange portions, the pressing portion of the one clamping member appropriately enters the radially inner side of both flange portions. By doing so, the pressing portion can be mounted at the intended mounting position. It should be noted that the pressing portion is advanced and retracted in the radial direction of both flange portions not only when the flange joint reinforcing jig is attached to both flange portions, but also before, during, and after attachment to both flange portions, Alternatively, it may be after detachment, or may be a case where a fluid device is connected to one of both flange portions, or a case where it is not connected.
Therefore, it can be easily and securely attached to both flange portions, and the fluid conduit including both flange portions can be reinforced with an earthquake resistant conduit having a predetermined seismic performance, and the separation and displacement of both flange portions can be easily and inexpensively. It is possible to improve the water stop performance.

上記特徴構成によれば、少なくとも最大進入位置規制部及び最大引退位置規制部の一方が、進退部材の貫通孔(両フランジ部のフランジ接合方向に開口形成され且つ径方向に沿った長孔)により構成されているので、進退部材が径方向に進退した際、当該進退部材の長孔に挿通された締結ボルトの外周面に、当該長孔の径方向内方側部位又は径方向外方側部位が当接し、進退部材の移動が径方向内方側における最大進入位置又は径方向外方側における最大引退位置に規制される。これにより、締結ボルトを挿通するための長孔(貫通孔)を最大進入位置規制部又は最大引退位置規制部として兼用することができ、各規制部を簡単な構成で実現することができる。   According to the above characteristic configuration, at least one of the maximum entry position restriction part and the maximum retraction position restriction part is formed by the through hole of the advance / retreat member (a long hole formed in the flange joining direction of both flange parts and extending in the radial direction). Since it is configured, when the advance / retreat member advances / retreats in the radial direction, on the outer peripheral surface of the fastening bolt inserted through the long hole of the advance / retreat member, the radially inner side portion or the radially outer side portion of the long hole Contact, and the movement of the advance / retreat member is restricted to the maximum entry position on the radially inner side or the maximum retraction position on the radially outer side. Thereby, the long hole (through-hole) for inserting the fastening bolt can be used as the maximum entry position restriction part or the maximum retraction position restriction part, and each restriction part can be realized with a simple configuration.

上記目的を達成するための本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具は、ボルト連結されている両フランジ部の外側面に各別に当接可能な押圧部を備えた一対の挟持部材と、この両挾持部材の押圧部を両フランジ部の外側面に当て付けた状態で当該両挾持部材をフランジ接合方向に引き寄せて締付固定する締結手段とを備えたフランジ接合部補強治具であって、その特徴構成は、
前記両挾持部材のフランジ接合方向で相対向する部位に、前記両フランジ部の外周面よりも径方向外方側位置においてフランジ接合方向から嵌合する内嵌合部と外嵌合部とが形成され、
前記両挟持部材の押圧部が前記両フランジ部の径方向において相互に偏倚した位置において前記両フランジ部の外側面に当て付けられた状態で、前記両挾持部材が前記締結手段により締付固定操作可能に構成されている点にある。
In order to achieve the above object, a flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention comprises a pair of clamping members each having a pressing portion capable of abutting against the outer surface of both flanges connected to each other by bolts. A flange joint reinforcement jig comprising a fastening means for pulling and fixing both gripping members in the flange joining direction in a state where the pressing portions of the gripping members are applied to the outer surfaces of both flanges, The feature configuration is
An inner fitting portion and an outer fitting portion that are fitted from the flange joining direction at a radially outer side position than the outer peripheral surface of the both flange portions are formed at portions facing each other in the flange joining direction of the both holding members. And
The clamping members are tightened and fixed by the fastening means in a state in which the pressing portions of the both clamping members are abutted against the outer surfaces of the flange portions at a position where the pressing portions of the both flange portions are deviated from each other in the radial direction. It is in the point where it is configured.

上記特徴構成によれば、一対の挟持部材におけるフランジ接合方向で相対向する各部位に、両フランジ部の外周面よりも径方向外方側位置においてフランジ接合方向から嵌合する内嵌合部と外嵌合部とが形成されているので、一対の挟持部材の各押圧部を両フランジ部の外側面に各別に当て付けた状態で締結手段を締付けると、両挟持部材がフランジ接合方向に引き寄せられるにつれて、内嵌合部が外嵌合部内に嵌合し、内嵌合部と外嵌合部とがフランジ接合方向(軸方向)で重なった状態となる。
これにより、一対の挟持部材が締結手段により締付固定された状態で、両フランジ部に曲げ方向(径方向)への力が作用した場合でも、締結手段の締結部位に加えて、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との重なり部位でも当該力を受け止めることができ、締結手段の締結部位に掛かる応力の低減を図ることができる。従って、フランジ接合部補強治具による両フランジ部の接合強度を向上させて、両フランジ部の離間やずれ及びこれらに伴う流体の漏洩を防止することができ、管路の耐震性能の向上をも図ることができる。
According to the above characteristic configuration, the inner fitting portions that are fitted from the flange joining direction at positions radially outward from the outer peripheral surfaces of the two flange portions to the respective portions facing each other in the flange joining direction of the pair of holding members. Since the outer fitting part is formed, if the fastening means is tightened with the pressing parts of the pair of clamping members applied to the outer surfaces of the flange parts separately, the clamping members are pulled in the flange joining direction. As a result, the inner fitting portion is fitted into the outer fitting portion, and the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion are overlapped in the flange joining direction (axial direction).
As a result, even when a force in the bending direction (radial direction) acts on both flange portions in a state where the pair of clamping members are clamped and fixed by the fastening means, in addition to the fastening part of the fastening means, the inner fitting The force can be received even at the overlapping portion of the portion and the outer fitting portion, and the stress applied to the fastening portion of the fastening means can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to improve the joint strength of both flange portions by the flange joint reinforcement jig, to prevent separation and displacement of both flange portions and fluid leakage accompanying them, and to improve the seismic performance of the pipeline. Can be planned.

加えて、両挟持部材の押圧部がフランジ部の径方向において相互に偏倚した位置において両フランジ部の外側面に当て付けられた状態で、両挾持部材が締結手段により締付固定操作可能に構成されているので、当該状態では、両押圧部を、両フランジ部の径方向において、径方向外方側の位置で当て付けられる外方側押圧部と、当該外方側押圧部よりも径方向内方側の位置で当て付けられる内方側押圧部とから構成することが可能となる。
これにより、例えば、両フランジ部のうち一方のフランジ部に接続された空気弁や補修弁等の流体機器の外径が当該一方のフランジ部に接続される流体管の外径よりも大径で、しかも、流体機器と当該一方のフランジ部とが流体管の管軸方向において近接する場合であっても、両フランジ部の径方向外方側に適宜引退した構成である一方の挟持部材の押圧部(外方側押圧部)が流体機器に干渉しない状態で、両挟持部材を両フランジ部に装着することができ、しかも、両フランジ部のうち空気弁等の流体機器が接続されていない他方のフランジ部には、両フランジ部の径方向内方側に適宜進入した構成である他方の挟持部材の押圧部(内方側押圧部)が所期の位置でフランジ部の外側面に当て付けられる状態で、両挟持部材を両フランジ部に装着することができる。
よって、両フランジ部に容易且つ確実に装着できるとともに、両フランジ部を含む流体管路を所定の耐震性能を備えた耐震管路に補強でき、しかも、両フランジ部の離間やずれを簡便且つ安価に防止して止水性能を向上できる。
In addition, both clamping members can be clamped and fixed by fastening means in a state where the pressing portions of both clamping members are abutted against the outer surfaces of both flange portions at positions where they are biased relative to each other in the radial direction of the flange portion. Therefore, in this state, the two pressing portions are arranged in the radial direction of the two flange portions in the radial direction with respect to the outer pressing portion that is applied at a position on the radially outer side and the outer pressing portion. It becomes possible to comprise from the inner side press part applied by the position of an inner side.
Thus, for example, the outer diameter of a fluid device such as an air valve or a repair valve connected to one of the flange portions is larger than the outer diameter of the fluid pipe connected to the one flange portion. In addition, even when the fluid device and the one flange portion are close to each other in the tube axis direction of the fluid pipe, the pressing of the one clamping member that is configured to be appropriately retracted radially outward of both flange portions The two clamping members can be attached to both flange portions in a state where the portion (outward side pressing portion) does not interfere with the fluid device, and the other fluid device such as an air valve is not connected to the other flange portion. The pressing part (inner side pressing part) of the other clamping member, which is configured to appropriately enter the radially inward side of both flange parts, is applied to the outer surface of the flange part at the desired position. The two clamping members on both flanges It is possible to wear.
Therefore, it can be easily and securely attached to both flange portions, and the fluid conduit including both flange portions can be reinforced with an earthquake resistant conduit having a predetermined seismic performance, and the separation and displacement of both flange portions can be easily and inexpensively. It is possible to improve the water stop performance.

本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具の更なる特徴構成は、前記フランジ接合方向における前記両フランジ部間に環状の密封部材が装着され、
少なくとも一方の挟持部材の押圧部が前記フランジ部の外側面における前記密封部材に対応する部位に位置する状態で、前記両挾持部材が前記締結手段により締付固定操作可能に構成されている点にある。
A further characteristic configuration of the flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention is such that an annular sealing member is mounted between the flange portions in the flange joining direction,
In the state where the pressing portion of at least one clamping member is located at a portion corresponding to the sealing member on the outer surface of the flange portion, the both clamping members are configured to be clamped and fixed by the fastening means. is there.

上記特徴構成によれば、少なくとも一方の挟持部材の押圧部がフランジ部の外側面において密封部材に対応する部位に位置する状態で、両挾持部材が締結手段により締付固定操作可能に構成されているので、両押圧部のうち少なくとも一方の押圧部を当該密封部材に対応する部位におけるフランジ部の外側面に当て付けた状態で両挟持部材を締付固定して、両フランジにより密封部材を確実に押圧することができ、両フランジ部間の密封性を向上して止水性能を向上することができる。   According to the above characteristic configuration, the holding members are configured to be capable of being tightened and fixed by the fastening means in a state where the pressing portion of at least one of the holding members is located at a portion corresponding to the sealing member on the outer surface of the flange portion. Therefore, the clamping members are fastened and fixed with both flanges in a state where at least one of the pressing parts is applied to the outer surface of the flange portion at the portion corresponding to the sealing member. The sealing performance between the two flange portions can be improved and the water stop performance can be improved.

本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具の更なる特徴構成は、前記両挾持部材の前記内嵌合部と前記外嵌合部とが嵌合している状態において、一方の挾持部材の押圧部と前記内嵌合部と他方の挾持部材の押圧部と前記外嵌合部とで形成される凹部が、前記両フランジ部におけるボルト連結箇所の隣接間部位に対して径方向外方から外嵌装着可能に構成されているとともに、前記外嵌合部が、両フランジ部の外周面との当接によって設定外嵌装着位置に規制する装着規制部に構成されている点にある。   A further characteristic configuration of the flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention is that, in a state where the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion of the both holding members are fitted, the pressing portion of one holding member. And a recess formed by the inner fitting portion, the pressing portion of the other holding member, and the outer fitting portion are externally fitted from the radially outer side to a portion between adjacent bolt connection portions in the two flange portions. While being configured to be mountable, the outer fitting portion is configured as a mounting restricting portion that restricts the set outer fitting mounting position by contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of both flange portions.

上記特徴構成によれば、両挟持部材の両押圧部、内嵌合部及び外嵌合部により形成される凹部を、両フランジ部のボルト連結箇所の周方向での隣接部位に対して径方向外方から外嵌装着する際、両フランジ部の外周面よりも径方向外方側に位置する外嵌合部が当該外周面に当接する状態となるので、当該外嵌合部を、フランジ接合部補強治具を設定外嵌装着位置に規制する装着規制部とすることができ、フランジ接合部補強治具の装着作業の容易化及び確実化を図ることができる。また、一対の挟持部材が締結手段により締付固定された状態では、内嵌合部が内嵌された外嵌合部の外面が両フランジ部の外周面に当接しているので、両フランジ部に曲げ方向(径方向)の力が作用した場合には、当該外嵌合部の外面と両フランジ部の外周面との当接箇所でも当該力を受け止めることができ、締結手段、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との重なり部位に掛かる応力の低減を図ることができる。
従って、フランジ接合部補強治具を、両フランジ部に容易に装着できるとともに、フランジ接合部補強治具による両フランジ部の接合強度をより向上させて、両フランジ部の離間やずれ及びこれらに伴う流体の漏洩をより確実に防止することができ、管路の耐震性能の向上をも図ることができる。
According to the above characteristic configuration, the concave portions formed by the both pressing portions, the inner fitting portion, and the outer fitting portion of the both clamping members are arranged in the radial direction with respect to the adjacent portions in the circumferential direction of the bolt connecting portions of both flange portions. When the outer fitting is performed from the outside, the outer fitting portion positioned radially outward from the outer circumferential surfaces of both flange portions comes into contact with the outer circumferential surface. The part reinforcing jig can be an attachment restricting part that restricts the set external fitting attachment position, and the attachment work of the flange joint reinforcing jig can be facilitated and ensured. In addition, in a state where the pair of clamping members are fastened and fixed by the fastening means, the outer surfaces of the outer fitting portions into which the inner fitting portions are fitted are in contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of the two flange portions. When a force in the bending direction (radial direction) is applied to the flange, the force can be received even at the contact point between the outer surface of the outer fitting portion and the outer peripheral surface of both flange portions. It is possible to reduce the stress applied to the overlapping portion between the portion and the outer fitting portion.
Accordingly, the flange joint reinforcing jig can be easily attached to both flange parts, and the joint strength of both flange parts by the flange joint reinforcing jig is further improved, and the separation and displacement of both flange parts and the accompanying them. Fluid leakage can be prevented more reliably, and the seismic performance of the pipe can be improved.

本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具の更なる特徴構成は、前記内嵌合部と前記外嵌合部とが相対回転不能な嵌合形状に構成されている点にある。   A further characteristic configuration of the flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention is that the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion are configured in a fitting shape in which relative rotation is impossible.

上記特徴構成によれば、内嵌合部と外嵌合部とがフランジ接合方向周りで相対回転不能な状態で嵌合されるので、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との相対回転、即ち、一対の挟持部材同士の相対回転を防止することができる。これにより、両フランジ部にフランジ接合部補強治具を装着する際、両挟持部材の内嵌合部と外嵌合部とを嵌合させることで、一対の挟持部材同士の相対位置関係を所期の位置関係に位置決めすることができ、両フランジ部への装着作業をより一層容易に行うことができる。   According to the above characteristic configuration, since the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion are fitted in a state in which the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion are not relatively rotatable around the flange joining direction, the relative rotation between the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion, that is, The relative rotation between the pair of clamping members can be prevented. Thus, when the flange joint reinforcing jig is attached to both flange portions, the relative position relationship between the pair of sandwiching members is determined by fitting the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion of both sandwiching members. Therefore, it is possible to perform the mounting operation on both flange portions even more easily.

本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具の更なる特徴構成は、前記締結手段が、前記内嵌合部と前記外嵌合部との筒状内部空間に対して前記外嵌合部の外側から挿入される締結ボルトと、前記内嵌合部の内周面における前記外嵌合部側の一端部に形成された当該締結ボルトが螺合する雌ネジ部とから構成されている点にある。   According to a further feature of the flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention, the fastening means is configured so that the cylindrical inner space between the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion is outside the outer fitting portion. The fastening bolt is inserted and a female screw portion into which the fastening bolt formed at one end of the inner fitting portion on the outer fitting portion side is screwed.

上記特徴構成によれば、締結手段が、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との筒状内部空間に対して外嵌合部の外側から挿入される締結ボルトと、内嵌合部の内周面に形成された締結ボルトが螺合する雌ネジ部とから構成されているので、雌ネジ部を筒状内部空間内における内嵌合部と外嵌合部との重なり部位に位置させることができ、締結ボルトの長さを比較的短くすることが可能となる。これにより、フランジ部の呼び径や設計圧力に応じて各フランジ部の肉厚を変更した場合でも、締結ボルトの先端が筒状内部空間の外部に突出することを良好に防止することができ、フランジ接合部補強治具の外観を損なうことなく省スペース化を図ることができる。
また、雌ネジ部が、内嵌合部の内周面における外嵌合部側の一端部に形成されているので、当該雌ネジ部は、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との筒状内部空間に挿通された締結ボルトの頭部に近接した位置に位置することとなる。これにより、雌ネジ部と締結ボルトの雄ネジ部との螺合箇所が、締結ボルトの頭部が外嵌合部と当接する位置に近接することとなり、フランジ接合方向(軸方向)における締結ボルトの頭部と当該螺合箇所との距離を比較的小さくすることができ、両フランジ部に曲げ方向(径方向)或いは引張方向(軸方向)の力が作用した場合でも、締結ボルトの伸びや破壊を良好に防止することができる。即ち、締結ボルトの伸び等を防止できるので、両フランジ部の離間やずれ及びこれらに伴う流体の漏洩を良好に防止することができる。また、当該距離を比較的小さくすることができれば、締結ボルトとして汎用のボルトを使用することが可能となり、フランジ接合部補強治具を安価のものとすることができる。
According to the above characteristic configuration, the fastening means includes the fastening bolt inserted from the outside of the outer fitting portion into the cylindrical inner space of the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion, and the inner periphery of the inner fitting portion. Since the fastening bolt formed on the surface is screwed into the female screw portion, the female screw portion can be positioned at the overlapping portion of the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion in the cylindrical inner space. It is possible to relatively shorten the length of the fastening bolt. Thereby, even when the thickness of each flange portion is changed according to the nominal diameter or design pressure of the flange portion, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the tip of the fastening bolt from protruding outside the cylindrical internal space, Space saving can be achieved without impairing the appearance of the flange joint reinforcing jig.
Further, since the female screw portion is formed at one end portion on the outer fitting portion side on the inner peripheral surface of the inner fitting portion, the female screw portion is a cylindrical shape of the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion. It will be located in the position close to the head of the fastening bolt inserted in the internal space. As a result, the screwed portion of the female screw portion and the male screw portion of the fastening bolt comes close to the position where the head of the fastening bolt comes into contact with the outer fitting portion, and the fastening bolt in the flange joining direction (axial direction) The distance between the head and the screwed portion can be made relatively small, and even when a force in the bending direction (radial direction) or tensile direction (axial direction) acts on both flange portions, Breakage can be prevented well. That is, since it is possible to prevent the fastening bolts from being stretched, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the flanges from being separated or displaced and the fluid leakage associated therewith. Further, if the distance can be made relatively small, a general-purpose bolt can be used as the fastening bolt, and the flange joint reinforcing jig can be made inexpensive.

本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具の更なる特徴構成は、前記締結手段が、前記内嵌合部と前記外嵌合部との筒状内部空間に対して一方の外側から貫通状態で挿入される締結ボルトと、当該締結ボルトの突出雄ネジ部に他方の外側から螺合する締結ナットとから構成されている点にある。   According to a further feature of the flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention, the fastening means is inserted in a cylindrical inner space between the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion from one outer side in a penetrating state. And a fastening nut that is screwed into the protruding male screw portion of the fastening bolt from the other outer side.

上記特徴構成によれば、締結手段が、内嵌合部と外嵌合部との筒状内部空間に対して一方の外側から貫通状態で挿入される締結ボルトと、当該締結ボルトの突出雄ネジ部に他方の外側から螺合する締結ナットとから構成されているので、内嵌合部及び外嵌合部を筒状に形成するだけでよくネジ山を形成する必要がないため、フランジ接合部補強治具を簡便且つ安価な構成とすることができる。   According to the above characteristic configuration, the fastening means is inserted into the cylindrical inner space of the inner fitting portion and the outer fitting portion in a penetrating state from one outer side, and the protruding male screw of the fastening bolt Since it is composed of a fastening nut that is screwed to the outer part from the other outer side, it is only necessary to form the inner fitting part and the outer fitting part in a cylindrical shape, and it is not necessary to form a thread. The reinforcing jig can be made simple and inexpensive.

本発明に係るフランジ接合部補強治具の更なる特徴構成は、前記両フランジ部の夫々が流体管に接続され、前記両フランジ部のうち少なくとも一方のフランジ部に前記流体管の外径よりも大径の流体機器が接続されている点にある。   According to a further feature of the flange joint reinforcing jig according to the present invention, each of the two flange portions is connected to a fluid pipe, and at least one of the two flange portions has an outer diameter of the fluid pipe. A large diameter fluid device is connected.

上記特徴構成によれば、夫々が流体管に接続された両フランジ部のうち、少なくとも一方のフランジ部に流体管の外径よりも大径の流体機器が接続されているので、両フランジ部にフランジ接合部補強治具を装着する際に当該流体機器が装着の邪魔になる場合があるが、このような場合であっても、少なくとも一方の挟持部材の押圧部が当該流体機器に干渉しない状態で、両挟持部材を両フランジ部に装着することができる。   According to the above characteristic configuration, since the fluid device having a larger diameter than the outer diameter of the fluid pipe is connected to at least one of the flange parts connected to the fluid pipes, When mounting the flange joint reinforcing jig, the fluid device may interfere with the mounting, but even in such a case, the pressing portion of at least one clamping member does not interfere with the fluid device. Thus, both clamping members can be mounted on both flange portions.

And fastening means 7 for fixing.

図3、図4、図6〜図9に示すように、第1挟持部材5は、金属材料により構成され、側面視(横断面視)で外面5aが概略四角形状且つ内周面5bが円形状の概略有底角筒状(筒状の一例)に形成された内嵌合部5Aと、内嵌合部5Aの一端部において当該内嵌合部5Aの外面5aから全周に亘って外方側に延出する鍔状部5Bとを一体的に備えている。なお、図4(a)は、第1挟持部材5の側面視(横断面視)を示し、図4(b)は、第1挟持部材5の縦断面視を示す。   As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6 to 9, the first clamping member 5 is made of a metal material, and the outer surface 5 a is a substantially square shape and the inner peripheral surface 5 b is a circle in a side view (transverse view). An inner fitting portion 5A formed in a substantially bottomed rectangular tube shape (an example of a tubular shape) and an outer end of the inner fitting portion 5A from the outer surface 5a of the inner fitting portion 5A. It is integrally provided with a hook-like portion 5B extending toward the side. 4A shows a side view (transverse cross-sectional view) of the first holding member 5, and FIG. 4B shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the first holding member 5.

内嵌合部5Aは、側面視で概略正方形状に形成され、内嵌合部5A内には、後述する締結手段7の締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aを挿通可能な円筒状の筒状内部空間5cが形成されている。筒状内部空間5cの内径は、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aの外径よりも若干大径に形成されている。
鍔状部5Bは、側面視で概略正方形状に形成され、縦断面視で中央部に上記筒状内部空間5cが貫通形成されている。
筒状内部空間5cにおいて、鍔状部5Bが形成された側は開口形成され、鍔状部5Bが形成された側とは反対側は、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aが螺合可能な雌ネジ部5dが、内嵌合部5Aの底部を貫通する状態で開口形成されている。すなわち、雌ネジ部5dは、内嵌合部5Aにおける筒状内部空間5cの内周面5bにおいて、鍔状部5Bが形成された側とは反対側の端部に形成されている。
The inner fitting portion 5A is formed in a substantially square shape in a side view, and a cylindrical cylindrical inner portion into which a male screw portion 7a of a fastening bolt 7A of a fastening means 7 described later can be inserted into the inner fitting portion 5A. A space 5c is formed. The inner diameter of the cylindrical inner space 5c is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A.
The bowl-shaped portion 5B is formed in a substantially square shape in a side view, and the cylindrical internal space 5c is formed through the central portion in a longitudinal sectional view.
In the cylindrical internal space 5c, an opening is formed on the side where the hook-shaped part 5B is formed, and a side opposite to the side where the hook-shaped part 5B is formed is a female screwable threaded part 7a of the fastening bolt 7A. An opening is formed in a state where the screw portion 5d penetrates the bottom portion of the inner fitting portion 5A. That is, the female screw portion 5d is formed at the end portion on the opposite side of the inner peripheral surface 5b of the cylindrical inner space 5c in the inner fitting portion 5A from the side where the flange portion 5B is formed.

図3及び図4に示すように、鍔状部5Bには、筒状内部空間5cの延出方向(フランジ接合方向(軸方向))に対して直交する方向(両フランジ部1A、1Bの径方向)において、後述する進退部材5Cを挿通可能な形状の保持孔5eが形成され、保持孔5eは、内嵌合部5Aから外方側に延出する鍔状部5Bの四辺(四平面)のうち対向する辺(平面)同士に亘って貫通形成されている。なお、保持孔5eは、筒状内部空間5cと直交する状態で連通するように構成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the flange portion 5B has a direction (diameter of both flange portions 1A, 1B) orthogonal to the extending direction (flange joining direction (axial direction)) of the cylindrical internal space 5c. Direction), a holding hole 5e having a shape into which an advancement / retraction member 5C described later can be inserted is formed, and the holding hole 5e extends from the inner fitting part 5A to the four sides (four planes) of the flange-like part 5B. Are formed so as to penetrate between opposing sides (planes). The holding hole 5e is configured to communicate with the cylindrical inner space 5c in a state orthogonal to the cylindrical inner space 5c.

また、第1挟持部材5は、内嵌合部5A及び鍔状部5Bとは別体の進退部材(進退手段の一例)5Cを備えている。進退部材5Cは、側面視において概略長方形状で、縦断面視において概略板状の進退部5fと、側面視において若干先窄み形状で、縦断面視において先端側に行くにつれて進退部5fよりも雌ネジ部5d側に傾斜するテーパー形状の押圧部5gと、縦断面視で進退部5fよりも雌ネジ部5d側とは反対側に突出する突出部5hとを一体的に備えている。これら押圧部5g、突出部5h、進退部5fは、先端側から基端側に向かって記載順に進退部材5Cに一体形成されている。   The first clamping member 5 includes an advance / retreat member (an example of advance / retreat means) 5C that is separate from the inner fitting portion 5A and the hook-like portion 5B. The advancing / retracting member 5C has a substantially rectangular shape in a side view, a substantially plate-like advance / retreat portion 5f in a longitudinal sectional view, and a slightly tapered shape in a side view, and is more advanced than the advancing / retreating portion 5f in the longitudinal sectional view. A taper-shaped pressing portion 5g that inclines toward the female screw portion 5d side and a protruding portion 5h that protrudes on the opposite side of the female screw portion 5d side with respect to the advance / retreat portion 5f in a longitudinal sectional view are integrally provided. The pressing portion 5g, the protruding portion 5h, and the advance / retreat portion 5f are integrally formed with the advance / retreat member 5C in the order of description from the distal end side to the proximal end side.

進退部材5Cは、進退部5fが鍔状部5Bの保持孔5eに挿通された挿通状態で、保持孔5eに沿って保持案内された状態で進退可能に構成されており、両フランジ部1A、1Bの径方向に進退自在に構成されている。そして、進退部材5Cを当該径方向において径方向外方側に引退(進退部5fを保持孔5e内に挿入する方向に移動)させると、突出部5hが鍔状部5Bにおける保持孔5eの開口周縁部に当接可能に構成されており、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aが筒状内部空間5c内に挿通されていない場合であっても、当該進退部材5Cの引退位置を最大引退位置に規制する最大引退位置規制部として機能するように構成されている。これにより、締結ボルト7Aを筒状内部空間5cに挿通する前に、進退部材5Cを保持孔5eに仮組みしたとしても、進退部材5Cが保持孔5eから離脱することを良好に防止することができる。   The advancing / retracting member 5C is configured to be capable of advancing / retreating in a state where the advancing / retreating part 5f is inserted through the holding hole 5e of the hook-shaped part 5B and is held and guided along the holding hole 5e. It is configured to advance and retract in the radial direction of 1B. Then, when the advancing / retracting member 5C is retracted radially outward in the radial direction (moving in the direction in which the advancing / retracting portion 5f is inserted into the holding hole 5e), the protruding portion 5h opens the holding hole 5e in the hook-like portion 5B. Even when the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A is not inserted into the cylindrical inner space 5c, the retracted position of the advance / retreat member 5C is set to the maximum retracted position. It is configured to function as a maximum retraction position restricting portion that restricts. Thereby, even if the advance / retreat member 5C is temporarily assembled in the holding hole 5e before the fastening bolt 7A is inserted into the cylindrical inner space 5c, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the advance / retreat member 5C from being detached from the holding hole 5e. it can.

また、進退部5fには、側面視で当該進退部5fの長手方向(両フランジ部1A、1Bの径方向)に沿って長く形成された長孔(貫通孔の一例)5iが、縦断面視で当該進退部5fを貫通する状態で開口形成されている。この長孔5iは、進退部5fが保持孔5eに挿通され、締結ボルト7Aが当該長孔5iに挿通され且つ筒状内部空間5c内に挿通された際に、縦断面視で、保持孔5e内における進退部5fの進退により、当該締結ボルト7Aの径方向外方側部位(図示せず)に当接して進退部5eの位置を最大進入位置に規制する内径側内壁部(図示せず)と、当該締結ボルト7Aの径方向内方側部位(図示せず)に当接して進退部5eの位置を最大引退位置に規制する外径側内壁部(図示せず)とを備えている。つまり、長孔5iの内径側内壁部が進退部材5Cを最大引退位置に規制する最大引退位置規制部として機能し、外径側内壁部が進退部材5Cを最大進入位置に規制する最大進入位置規制部として機能する。
従って、図6に示すように、締結ボルト7Aが長孔5i及び筒状内部空間5cに挿通されると、進退部材5Cの押圧部5gは、両フランジ1A、1Bの径方向において最大引退位置と最大進入位置との間の所定範囲L内における進退が許容される。ここで、例えば、最大進入位置は、後述する押圧部5gの押圧面5jがフランジ部1Bの外側面1aにおいてガスケット2に対応する部位に設定でき、最大引退位置は、押圧部5gがフランジ部1Bの外側面1aから離脱しない部位に設定できる。
Further, in the advance / retreat portion 5f, a long hole (an example of a through hole) 5i formed long along the longitudinal direction of the advance / retreat portion 5f (the radial direction of both flange portions 1A, 1B) in a side view is shown in a longitudinal sectional view. Thus, an opening is formed so as to penetrate the advance / retreat portion 5f. The long hole 5i has a holding hole 5e in a longitudinal sectional view when the advance / retreat portion 5f is inserted into the holding hole 5e and the fastening bolt 7A is inserted into the long hole 5i and into the cylindrical inner space 5c. An inner wall portion (not shown) on the inner diameter side that abuts against a radially outer portion (not shown) of the fastening bolt 7A and restricts the position of the advance / retreat portion 5e to the maximum entry position by the advance / retreat of the advance / retreat portion 5f. And an outer diameter side inner wall portion (not shown) that contacts the radially inner side portion (not shown) of the fastening bolt 7A and restricts the position of the advance / retreat portion 5e to the maximum retracted position. That is, the inner wall portion on the inner diameter side of the long hole 5i functions as a maximum retraction position restriction portion that restricts the advance / retreat member 5C to the maximum retraction position, and the maximum entry position restriction that the outer diameter side inner wall portion restricts the advance / retreat member 5C to the maximum entry position. It functions as a part.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the fastening bolt 7A is inserted through the long hole 5i and the cylindrical internal space 5c, the pressing portion 5g of the advance / retreat member 5C is set to the maximum retracted position in the radial direction of both flanges 1A, 1B. Advancing and retreating within a predetermined range L between the maximum approach position is allowed. Here, for example, the maximum entry position can be set to a portion corresponding to the gasket 2 on the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1B with a pressing surface 5j of the pressing portion 5g, which will be described later, and the pressing portion 5g is set to the flange portion 1B. It can set to the site | part which does not detach | leave from the outer side surface 1a.

押圧部5gには、縦断面視で雌ネジ部5d側の面の先端部位に、内嵌合部5Aの外面5aと垂直な押圧面5jが形成され、当該押圧面5jには、フランジ部1Bの外側面1aに当て付けられた際、当該外側面1aとの摩擦保持を促進可能な加工(例えば、押圧面5jに細かな凹凸を形成する加工)が施されている。   The pressing portion 5g is formed with a pressing surface 5j perpendicular to the outer surface 5a of the inner fitting portion 5A at the distal end portion of the surface on the female screw portion 5d side in a longitudinal sectional view. The pressing surface 5j has a flange portion 1B. When applied to the outer surface 1a, a process capable of promoting friction retention with the outer surface 1a (for example, a process of forming fine irregularities on the pressing surface 5j) is performed.

図3、図5〜図9に示すように、第2挟持部材6は、金属部材により構成され、側面視(横断面視)で外面6a及び内面6bが概略四角形状の概略有底角筒状(筒状の一例)に形成された外嵌合部6Aと、外嵌合部6Aとは別体の進退部材(進退手段の一例)6Bとを備えて構成されている。なお、図5(a)は、第2挟持部材6の側面視(横断面視)を示し、図5(b)は、第2挟持部材6の縦断面視を示す。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 to 9, the second clamping member 6 is made of a metal member, and has a substantially bottomed rectangular tube shape in which the outer surface 6 a and the inner surface 6 b are substantially quadrangular when viewed from the side (transverse sectional view). The outer fitting part 6A formed in (an example of a cylindrical shape) and an advancing / retreating member (an example of advancing / retreating means) 6B separate from the outer fitting part 6A are configured. 5A shows a side view (transverse sectional view) of the second clamping member 6, and FIG. 5B shows a longitudinal sectional view of the second clamping member 6.

外嵌合部6Aは、側面視で概略正方形状に形成され、外嵌合部6A内には、第1挟持部材5の内嵌合部5Aを挿入可能な筒状内部空間6cが形成されている。筒状内部空間6cは側面視(横断面視)で概略正方形状に形成され、側面視(横断面視)で概略正方形状の内嵌合部5Aよりも若干大きく形成されている。このため、内嵌合部5Aの外面5aと外嵌合部6Aの内面6bとの嵌合形状は、内嵌合部5Aを外嵌合部6Aの筒状内部空間6cに挿入(嵌合)させると、挿入方向(筒状内部空間6cの長手方向)には摺動可能であるが、挿入方向周り(筒状内部空間6cの長手方向に沿った軸周り)での相対回転が不能となるように形成されている。
また、外嵌合部6Aの底部には、当該底部を筒状内部空間6cの延出方向(フランジ接合方向(軸方向))に沿って貫通する挿通孔6dが筒状内部空間6cに連通する状態で開口形成されており、挿通孔6dが形成された側とは反対側の筒状内部空間6cの端部は開口形成されている。挿通孔6dは、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aを挿入可能で且つ頭部7bを挿通不能に形成されている。なお、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aが挿通孔6dに挿通された状態では、雄ネジ部7aの外周面と挿通孔6dの内周面との間には、所定の隙間が形成される(図6〜図8参照)。
The outer fitting portion 6A is formed in a substantially square shape in a side view, and a cylindrical inner space 6c into which the inner fitting portion 5A of the first holding member 5 can be inserted is formed in the outer fitting portion 6A. Yes. The cylindrical internal space 6c is formed in a substantially square shape in a side view (transverse cross section), and is slightly larger than the substantially square inner fitting portion 5A in a side view (transverse cross section). For this reason, the fitting shape between the outer surface 5a of the inner fitting portion 5A and the inner surface 6b of the outer fitting portion 6A is such that the inner fitting portion 5A is inserted (fitted) into the cylindrical inner space 6c of the outer fitting portion 6A. Then, it is slidable in the insertion direction (longitudinal direction of the cylindrical internal space 6c), but cannot be relatively rotated around the insertion direction (around the axis along the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical internal space 6c). It is formed as follows.
Further, an insertion hole 6d that penetrates the bottom portion along the extending direction of the cylindrical internal space 6c (flange joining direction (axial direction)) communicates with the cylindrical internal space 6c at the bottom portion of the outer fitting portion 6A. An opening is formed in the state, and the end of the cylindrical internal space 6c opposite to the side where the insertion hole 6d is formed is formed as an opening. The insertion hole 6d is formed so that the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A can be inserted and the head portion 7b cannot be inserted. In a state where the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A is inserted through the insertion hole 6d, a predetermined gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the male screw portion 7a and the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 6d ( 6 to 8).

外嵌合部6Aの底部には、筒状内部空間6cの延出方向(フランジ接合方向(軸方向))に対して直交する方向(両フランジ部1A、1Bの径方向)において、進退部材6Bを挿通可能な形状の保持孔6eが形成され、保持孔6eは、外嵌合部6Aにおいて挿通孔6d及び筒状内部空間6cが開口形成される面以外の四平面のうち対向する平面同士に亘って貫通形成されている。保持孔6eは、筒状内部空間6cと直交する状態で連通するように構成されている。なお、外嵌合部6Aの底部は、挿通孔6d及び筒状内部空間6cの延出方向(フランジ接合方向(軸方向))において、保持孔6eを形成可能な程度の所定の厚みを備えた形状に構成されている。   At the bottom of the outer fitting portion 6A, the advancing / retreating member 6B is in a direction (radial direction of both flange portions 1A, 1B) perpendicular to the extending direction of the cylindrical internal space 6c (flange joining direction (axial direction)). A holding hole 6e having a shape into which the insertion hole can be inserted is formed, and the holding hole 6e is formed between the opposing planes among the four planes other than the surface in which the insertion hole 6d and the cylindrical inner space 6c are formed in the outer fitting portion 6A. It is formed through. The holding hole 6e is configured to communicate in a state orthogonal to the cylindrical internal space 6c. The bottom portion of the outer fitting portion 6A has a predetermined thickness that allows the holding hole 6e to be formed in the extending direction of the insertion hole 6d and the cylindrical inner space 6c (flange joining direction (axial direction)). It is configured in shape.

進退部材6Bは、基本的に第1挟持部材5の進退部材5Cと同様の構成を備えているので、詳細な説明は省略するが、保持孔6eに挿通可能な進退部6fと、縦断面視において先端側に行くにつれて進退部6fよりも筒状内部空間6cの開口側に傾斜するテーパー形状の押圧部6gと、縦断面視で進退部6fよりも筒状内部空間6cの開口側とは反対側に突出する突出部6hとを一体的に備えている。これら押圧部6g、突出部6h、進退部6fは、先端側から基端側に向かって記載順に進退部材6Bに一体形成されている。また、進退部6fには、側面視で当該進退部6fの長手方向(両フランジ部1A、1Bの径方向)に沿って長く形成された長孔(貫通孔の一例)6iが、縦断面視で当該進退部6fを貫通する状態で開口形成されている。この長孔6iは、進退部材5Cの長孔5iと同様に、内径側内壁部が進退部材6Bを最大引退位置に規制する最大引退位置規制部として機能し、外径側内壁部が進退部材6Bを最大進入位置に規制する最大進入位置規制部として機能する。
従って、図6に示すように、締結ボルト7Aが長孔6i及び筒状内部空間6cに挿通されると、進退部材6Bの押圧部6gは、両フランジ1A、1Bの径方向において最大引退位置と最大進入位置との間の所定範囲L内における進退が許容される。ここで、例えば、最大進入位置は、後述する押圧部6gの押圧面6jがフランジ部1Aの外側面1aにおいてガスケット2に対応する部位に設定でき、最大引退位置は、押圧部6gの先端がフランジ部1Aに接続された空気弁Vに接触せず且つフランジ部1Aの外側面1aから離脱しない部位に設定できる。
Since the advance / retreat member 6B basically has the same configuration as the advance / retreat member 5C of the first clamping member 5, a detailed description thereof is omitted, but an advance / retreat portion 6f that can be inserted into the holding hole 6e and a longitudinal sectional view. The taper-shaped pressing part 6g which inclines toward the opening side of the cylindrical internal space 6c from the advance / retreat part 6f toward the front end side and the opening side of the cylindrical internal space 6c from the advancement / retraction part 6f in the longitudinal sectional view are opposite to each other. A projecting portion 6h projecting to the side is integrally provided. The pressing portion 6g, the protruding portion 6h, and the advance / retreat portion 6f are integrally formed with the advance / retreat member 6B in the order of description from the distal end side to the proximal end side. Further, in the advance / retreat portion 6f, a long hole (an example of a through hole) 6i formed long along the longitudinal direction of the advance / retreat portion 6f (the radial direction of both flange portions 1A, 1B) in a side view is shown in a longitudinal sectional view. Thus, an opening is formed so as to penetrate the advance / retreat portion 6f. In the same way as the long hole 5i of the advance / retreat member 5C, the long hole 6i functions as a maximum retraction position restricting portion where the inner diameter side inner wall portion restricts the advance / retreat member 6B to the maximum retraction position, and the outer diameter side inner wall portion is the advance / retreat member 6B. Functions as a maximum entry position restricting unit that regulates the maximum entry position.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, when the fastening bolt 7A is inserted through the long hole 6i and the cylindrical internal space 6c, the pressing portion 6g of the advance / retreat member 6B is set to the maximum retracted position in the radial direction of both flanges 1A, 1B. Advancing and retreating within a predetermined range L between the maximum approach position is allowed. Here, for example, the maximum approach position can be set at a position where a pressing surface 6j of the pressing portion 6g described later corresponds to the gasket 2 on the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1A, and the maximum retraction position is that the tip of the pressing portion 6g is flanged. It can be set to a portion that does not come into contact with the air valve V connected to the portion 1A and does not leave the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1A.

押圧部6gには、縦断面視で筒状内部空間6cの開口側の面の先端部位に、外嵌合部6Aの外面6aと垂直な押圧面6jが形成されている。従って、内嵌合部5Aが外嵌合部6Aに嵌合した状態では、押圧面5j及び押圧面6jは筒状内部空間5c、6cの延出方向(フランジ接合方向(軸方向))で対向するように配置されることとなる。   In the pressing portion 6g, a pressing surface 6j perpendicular to the outer surface 6a of the outer fitting portion 6A is formed at the distal end portion of the surface on the opening side of the cylindrical inner space 6c in a longitudinal sectional view. Therefore, in a state where the inner fitting portion 5A is fitted to the outer fitting portion 6A, the pressing surface 5j and the pressing surface 6j are opposed to each other in the extending direction of the cylindrical inner spaces 5c, 6c (flange joining direction (axial direction)). Will be arranged.

締結手段7は、外嵌合部6Aの外側から挿通孔6dを介して筒状内部空間6c内に挿入される上述の締結ボルト7Aと、内嵌合部5Aの内周面5bに形成された雌ネジ部5dとから構成されている。
従って、フランジ接合部補強治具Pでは、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5g及び第2挟持部材6の押圧部6gの相対位置を、両フランジ部1A、1Bのフランジ接合方向において適宜調整することができる。
具体的には、図6に示すように、第1挟持部材5の内嵌合部5Aの保持孔5eに進退部材5Cの進退部5fを挿通するとともに、第2挟持部材6の外嵌合部6Aの保持孔6eに進退部材6Bの進退部6fを挿通して、内嵌合部5Aを外嵌合部6A内に嵌合し、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aを外嵌合部6Aの挿通孔6dを介して内嵌合部5Aの雌ネジ部5dに螺合した状態において、両フランジ部1A、1Bのフランジ接合方向において内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの嵌合位置(嵌合距離)を所定の移動範囲M内で適宜調節可能に構成されている。これにより、フランジ接合方向における両フランジ部1A、1Bの厚みに応じて、内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの重なり部位の大きさ(嵌合距離)、及び、両押圧面5j、6jの相対位置(相対間隔)を適宜調整して、両押圧面5j、6jを各別に両フランジ部1A、1Bの外側面1a、1aに当て付けた状態で、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aと内嵌合部5Aの雌ネジ部5dとを螺合固定し、第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6を両フランジ部1A、1Bに装着することができる。
The fastening means 7 is formed on the above-described fastening bolt 7A that is inserted into the cylindrical inner space 6c from the outside of the outer fitting portion 6A through the insertion hole 6d, and the inner peripheral surface 5b of the inner fitting portion 5A. It is comprised from the internal thread part 5d.
Therefore, in the flange joint reinforcement jig P, the relative positions of the pressing part 5g of the first clamping member 5 and the pressing part 6g of the second clamping member 6 are appropriately adjusted in the flange joining direction of both flange parts 1A and 1B. Can do.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the advancing / retreating portion 5 f of the advancing / retreating member 5 C is inserted into the holding hole 5 e of the inner fitting portion 5 A of the first clamping member 5 and the outer fitting portion of the second clamping member 6 is inserted. The advance / retreat portion 6f of the advance / retreat member 6B is inserted into the holding hole 6e of 6A, the inner fitting portion 5A is fitted into the outer fitting portion 6A, and the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A is fitted to the outer fitting portion 6A. The fitting position of the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A in the flange joining direction of both flange portions 1A and 1B in a state where the inner screw portion 5d of the inner fitting portion 5A is screwed through the insertion hole 6d. The (fitting distance) is configured to be appropriately adjustable within a predetermined movement range M. Thereby, according to the thickness of both flange part 1A, 1B in a flange joining direction, the magnitude | size (fitting distance) of the overlapping part of 5 A of inner fitting parts and 6 A of outer fitting parts, and both press surface 5j, The male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A is adjusted with the relative position (relative interval) of 6j appropriately adjusted so that the pressing surfaces 5j, 6j are respectively applied to the outer surfaces 1a, 1a of the flange portions 1A, 1B. And the female screw part 5d of the inner fitting part 5A can be screwed and fixed, and the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 can be attached to both flange parts 1A and 1B.

次に、複数の連結ボルト4A及び連結ナット4Bにより連結された両フランジ部1A、1Bに、フランジ接合部補強治具Pを装着する作業工程について説明する。   Next, an operation process for mounting the flange joint reinforcing jig P on both flange portions 1A and 1B connected by a plurality of connecting bolts 4A and connecting nuts 4B will be described.

図3、図6〜図8に示すように、まず、第1挟持部材5の保持孔5eに進退部材5Cの進退部5fを挿通し且つ第2挟持部材6の保持孔6eに進退部材6Bの進退部6fを挿通するとともに、フランジ接合方向で相対向する部位に形成されている第1挟持部材5の内嵌合部5A及び第2挟持部材6の外嵌合部6Aを、内嵌合部5Aの底部側(雌ネジ部5d側)から当該内嵌合部5Aが外嵌合部6Aの筒状内部空間6cに内嵌するように、両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cよりも径方向外方側の位置でフランジ接合方向から嵌合させる。
この際には、内嵌合部5Aの外面5aと外嵌合部6Aの内面6bとが横断面視で相対回転不能な概略正方形状に形成されているので、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5gと第2挟持部材6の押圧部6gとを同方向に延出させた状態で、容易に嵌合させることができる。
また、進退部材5Cを、進退部材5Cの突出部5hが保持孔5eの開口周縁部に当接する程度に挿入し、進退部材6Bを、進退部材6Bの突出部6hが保持孔6eの開口周縁部に当接する程度に挿入しておくと、両進退部材5C、6Bが各保持孔5e、6eから離脱することを良好に防止できる。
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6-8, first, the advance / retreat portion 5f of the advance / retreat member 5C is inserted into the holding hole 5e of the first holding member 5 and the advance / retreat member 6B of the second holding member 6 is inserted into the holding hole 6e. The inner fitting portion 5A of the first clamping member 5 and the outer fitting portion 6A of the second clamping member 6 that are inserted in the advancing / retreating portion 6f and are formed at portions facing each other in the flange joining direction are connected to the inner fitting portion. From the outer peripheral surfaces 1c and 1c of both flange portions 1A and 1B so that the inner fitting portion 5A is fitted into the cylindrical inner space 6c of the outer fitting portion 6A from the bottom side (the female screw portion 5d side) of 5A. Is also fitted from the flange joining direction at a position radially outward.
At this time, since the outer surface 5a of the inner fitting portion 5A and the inner surface 6b of the outer fitting portion 6A are formed in a substantially square shape that is not relatively rotatable in a cross-sectional view, the pressing portion of the first clamping member 5 5g and the pressing part 6g of the 2nd clamping member 6 can be easily fitted in the state extended in the same direction.
Further, the advancing / retreating member 5C is inserted so that the protruding portion 5h of the advancing / retreating member 5C comes into contact with the opening peripheral portion of the holding hole 5e, and the advancing / retreating member 6B is inserted into the protruding peripheral portion 6h of the holding hole 6e. If it is inserted so as to be in contact with the two, it is possible to satisfactorily prevent the both advancing and retracting members 5C and 6B from being detached from the holding holes 5e and 6e.

図7に示すように、両進退部材5C、6Bが各保持孔5e、6eに挿入され、内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとが嵌合している状態において、縦断面視で進退部材5Cの進退部5f及び押圧部5gと内嵌合部5Aの外面5aと進退部材6Bの進退部6f及び押圧部6gと外嵌合部6Aの外面6aとにより概略U字形状の凹部Cが形成され、当該凹部Cを、両フランジ部1A、1Bにおける周方向におけるボルト連結箇所の隣接間部位に対して径方向外方から外嵌装着可能に構成されている。そのため、上述の内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの嵌合は、一旦、フランジ接合方向において、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5gの押圧面5jと第2挟持部材6の押圧部6gの押圧面6jとの間隔が、フランジ部1Aの外側面1aとフランジ部1Bの外側面1aとの間隔よりも大きくなる程度に行われ、この状態で、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aを、フランジ接合方向における外嵌合部6Aの外側から挿通孔6dを介して筒状内部空間6c内に挿入し、当該締結ボルト7Aの頭部7bが外嵌合部6Aの外側面(図示せず)に当接するまで、筒状内部空間6cに嵌合されている内嵌合部5Aの雌ネジ部5dに螺合させ、内嵌合部5A及び外嵌合部6Aを仮固定する。   As shown in FIG. 7, in the state in which both the advancing and retracting members 5C and 6B are inserted into the holding holes 5e and 6e and the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A are fitted, they are advanced and retracted in a longitudinal sectional view. A substantially U-shaped recess C is formed by the advancing / retreating part 5f and the pressing part 5g of the member 5C, the outer surface 5a of the inner fitting part 5A, and the advancing / retreating part 6f and the pressing part 6g of the advancing / retracting member 6B and the outer surface 6a of the outer fitting part 6A. The concave portion C is formed and can be externally fitted from the outside in the radial direction to the adjacent portion of the bolt connecting portion in the circumferential direction in both flange portions 1A, 1B. Therefore, the above-described fitting between the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A is performed once in the flange joining direction by pressing the pressing surface 5j of the pressing portion 5g of the first holding member 5 and the pressing portion of the second holding member 6. The gap between the pressing surface 6j of 6g and the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1A and the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1B is larger than the interval between the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1A. Then, it is inserted into the cylindrical inner space 6c from the outside of the outer fitting portion 6A in the flange joining direction through the insertion hole 6d, and the head 7b of the fastening bolt 7A is connected to the outer surface (not shown) of the outer fitting portion 6A. Until the inner fitting portion 5A is fitted into the cylindrical inner space 6c, the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A are temporarily fixed.

そして、凹部Cを両フランジ部1A、1Bのボルト連結箇所の隣接間部位に対して外嵌装着する際には、進退部材6Bが延出する側における外嵌合部6Aの外面6a(凹部Cの一部)を、両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cの少なくとも一方に当接させることで、第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6を所期の設定外嵌装着位置に装着することができる(図8及び図9参照)。すなわち、進退部材6Bが延出する側における外嵌合部6Aの外面6aが、両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cとの当接によって設定外嵌装着位置に規制する装着規制部として機能することとなる。   When the recessed portion C is externally fitted to the adjacent portions of the bolt connecting portions of the flange portions 1A and 1B, the outer surface 6a (recessed portion C) of the outer fitting portion 6A on the side where the advance / retreat member 6B extends. 1 part) is brought into contact with at least one of the outer peripheral surfaces 1c and 1c of both flange portions 1A and 1B, so that the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are mounted at the desired setting external fitting mounting position. (See FIGS. 8 and 9). That is, the outer surface 6a of the outer fitting portion 6A on the side where the advance / retreat member 6B extends is an attachment restriction portion that restricts the set outer fitting position by contact with the outer peripheral surfaces 1c, 1c of both flange portions 1A, 1B. Will function.

第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6の設定外嵌装着位置への装着に伴って、第1挟持部材5の進退部材5Cをフランジ部1Bの径方向に進退させて、押圧部5gの押圧面5jを当該フランジ部1Bの外側面1aにおいてガスケット2に対応する部位に位置させるとともに、第2挟持部材6の進退部材6Bをフランジ1Aの径方向に進退させて、押圧部6gの先端が空気弁Vの外周面に接触せず且つ押圧面6jが当該フランジ部1Aの外側面1aに当て付けられる部位に位置させる(図8及び図9参照)。   As the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are mounted to the set external fitting mounting position, the advancing / retracting member 5C of the first clamping member 5 is advanced and retracted in the radial direction of the flange portion 1B, and the pressing portion 5g is pressed. The surface 5j is positioned at a portion corresponding to the gasket 2 on the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1B, and the advancing / retracting member 6B of the second clamping member 6 is advanced / retracted in the radial direction of the flange 1A. The pressing surface 6j is positioned at a portion that does not contact the outer peripheral surface of the valve V and is applied to the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1A (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

続いて、第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6が設定外嵌装着位置に装着され、押圧面5jが上述した位置でフランジ部1Bの外側面1aに当接し且つ押圧面6jが上述した位置でフランジ部1Aの外側面1aに当接するまで、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aを内嵌合部5Aの雌ネジ部5dに螺合させて締付固定し、内嵌合部5A及び外嵌合部6Aをフランジ接合方向で引き寄せて内嵌合部5Aを外嵌合部6Aの筒状内部空間6cに嵌合させる(図8参照)。   Subsequently, the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are mounted at the set external fitting mounting position, the pressing surface 5j contacts the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1B at the position described above, and the pressing surface 6j is the position described above. Until the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1A comes into contact with the inner threaded portion 5d of the inner fitting portion 5A and screwed into the inner threaded portion 5a. The mating portion 6A is pulled in the flange joining direction to fit the inner fitting portion 5A into the cylindrical inner space 6c of the outer fitting portion 6A (see FIG. 8).

従って、フランジ接合部補強治具Pを両フランジ部1A、1Bに装着する際に、両押圧部5g、6gを内嵌合部5A又は外嵌合部6Aに対して両フランジ部1A、1Bの径方向に進退させて、両押圧部5g、6gが両フランジ部1A、1Bの外側面1a、1aに各別に当て付けられる位置を適宜調整することができる。
これにより、図1、図7及び図8に示すように、一方のフランジ部1Aに接続された空気弁Vの外径が当該フランジ部1Aに接続される水道管1の外径よりも大径で、しかも、空気弁Vと当該フランジ部1Aとが水道管1の管軸方向において近接する場合であっても、第2挟持部材6の押圧部6gをフランジ部1Aの径方向外方側に適宜引退させることで、当該押圧部6gが空気弁Vに干渉しない状態で第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6を両フランジ部1A、1Bに装着することができる。また、空気弁Vが接続されていない他方のフランジ部1Bにおいては、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5gをフランジ部1Bの径方向内方側に適宜進入させることで、当該押圧部5gの押圧面5jを所期の装着位置であるガスケット2に対応する部位に位置させた状態で装着させることができる。
よって、フランジ部1Aに空気弁Vが接続されている場合であっても第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6を確実に装着することができ、しかも、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5gの押圧面5jによりフランジ接合方向においてフランジ部1Bの外側面1aを介してガスケット2を確実に押圧することができる。
Accordingly, when the flange joint reinforcing jig P is attached to both the flange portions 1A and 1B, the both pressing portions 5g and 6g are connected to the inner fitting portion 5A or the outer fitting portion 6A. By moving forward and backward in the radial direction, the positions at which the pressing portions 5g and 6g are respectively applied to the outer surfaces 1a and 1a of the flange portions 1A and 1B can be appropriately adjusted.
Thereby, as shown in FIG.1, FIG7 and FIG.8, the outer diameter of the air valve V connected to one flange part 1A is larger than the outer diameter of the water pipe 1 connected to the said flange part 1A. In addition, even when the air valve V and the flange portion 1A are close to each other in the pipe axis direction of the water pipe 1, the pressing portion 6g of the second clamping member 6 is placed on the radially outer side of the flange portion 1A. By appropriately retracting, the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 can be attached to both flange portions 1A and 1B in a state where the pressing portion 6g does not interfere with the air valve V. Further, in the other flange portion 1B to which the air valve V is not connected, the pressing portion 5g of the first clamping member 5 is appropriately entered into the radially inward side of the flange portion 1B, thereby pressing the pressing portion 5g. The surface 5j can be mounted in a state where the surface 5j is positioned at a portion corresponding to the gasket 2 which is an intended mounting position.
Therefore, even when the air valve V is connected to the flange portion 1A, the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 can be reliably mounted, and the pressing portion 5g of the first clamping member 5 can be mounted. The pressing surface 5j can reliably press the gasket 2 via the outer surface 1a of the flange portion 1B in the flange joining direction.

また、両押圧部5g、6gをそれぞれ両フランジ部1A、1Bの外側面1a、1aに当て付けた状態で第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6をフランジ接合方向に引き寄せて、内嵌合部5Aが外嵌合部6A内に嵌合し、内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとがフランジ接合方向(軸方向)で重なった状態で、締付固定することができるとともに、この締付固定された状態では、進退部材6Bが延出する側における外嵌合部6Aの外面6aが、両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cの少なくとも一方に当接した状態となる。
さらに、締付固定した状態では、内嵌合部5Aの雌ネジ部5dが、締結ボルト7Aの頭部7bに近接した位置に位置することから、雌ネジ部5dと締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aとの螺合箇所が、締結ボルト7Aの頭部7bが外嵌合部6Aの外側面と当接する位置に近接することとなり、フランジ接合方向(軸方向)における締結ボルト7Aの頭部7bと当該螺合箇所との距離を比較的小さくすることができる。これにより、両フランジ部1A、1Bに曲げ方向(径方向)或いは引張方向(軸方向)の力が作用した場合でも、締結ボルト7Aの伸びや破壊を良好に防止することができ、両フランジ部1A,1Bの離間やずれ及びこれらに伴う流体の漏洩を良好に防止することができる。さらに、雌ネジ部5dを筒状内部空間5c、6c内における内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの重なり部位に位置させることができ、締結ボルト7Aの長さを比較的短くすることが可能となり、締結ボルト7Aの先端が筒状内部空間5c、6cの外部に突出することを良好に防止することができ、フランジ接合部補強治具Pの外観を損なうことなく省スペース化を図ることができる。
Further, the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are pulled in the flange joining direction with the both pressing portions 5g and 6g being applied to the outer surfaces 1a and 1a of the flange portions 1A and 1B, respectively, and are fitted inside. The portion 5A is fitted in the outer fitting portion 6A, and the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A can be tightened and fixed in a state where they overlap in the flange joining direction (axial direction). In the clamped and fixed state, the outer surface 6a of the outer fitting portion 6A on the side where the advance / retreat member 6B extends is in contact with at least one of the outer peripheral surfaces 1c and 1c of the flange portions 1A and 1B.
Further, in the state of being fastened and fixed, the female screw portion 5d of the inner fitting portion 5A is located at a position close to the head portion 7b of the fastening bolt 7A, and therefore, the female screw portion 5d and the male screw portion of the fastening bolt 7A. 7a is close to the position where the head 7b of the fastening bolt 7A contacts the outer surface of the outer fitting portion 6A, and the head 7b of the fastening bolt 7A in the flange joining direction (axial direction) The distance from the screwing location can be made relatively small. Thereby, even when a force in the bending direction (radial direction) or the tensile direction (axial direction) acts on both flange portions 1A, 1B, it is possible to prevent the fastening bolt 7A from being stretched and broken satisfactorily. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent separation and displacement of 1A and 1B and fluid leakage associated therewith. Further, the female screw portion 5d can be positioned at the overlapping portion of the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A in the cylindrical inner spaces 5c, 6c, and the length of the fastening bolt 7A is made relatively short. It is possible to satisfactorily prevent the tip of the fastening bolt 7A from protruding outside the cylindrical inner spaces 5c, 6c, and to save space without impairing the appearance of the flange joint reinforcing jig P. be able to.

次に、上記フランジ接合部補強治具Pを装着後、両フランジ部1A、1Bにおける、その他の全てのボルト連結箇所の隣接間部位に対して、別のフランジ接合部補強治具Pを径方向外方から順次外嵌装着する。なお、当該外嵌装着は、必要に応じて、ボルト連結箇所の隣接間部位の一部に対してのみ行うこととしてもよい。   Next, after mounting the flange joint reinforcement jig P, another flange joint reinforcement jig P is radially attached to the adjacent portions of all other bolt connection locations in the flange portions 1A and 1B. Fit sequentially from the outside. In addition, it is good also as performing the said external fitting mounting | wearing only with respect to a part of site | part between adjacent bolt connection locations as needed.

これにより、第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6が締結手段7により締付固定された状態で、両フランジ部1A、1Bに曲げ方向(径方向)への力が作用した場合でも、締結手段7の締結部位に加えて、内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの重なり部位でも当該力を受け止めることができ、締結手段7の締結部位に掛かる応力の低減を図ることができる。また、第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6が締結手段7により締付固定された状態では、内嵌合部5Aが内嵌された外嵌合部6Aの外面が両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cの少なくとも一方に当接しているので、両フランジ部1A、1Bに曲げ方向(径方向)の力が作用した場合には、当該外嵌合部6Aの外面6aと両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cとの当接箇所でも当該力を受け止めることができ、締結手段7、内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの重なり部位に掛かる応力の低減を図ることができる。さらに、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aが挿通孔6dに挿通された状態では、雄ネジ部7aの外周面と挿通孔6dの内周面との間に所定の隙間が形成されるので、両フランジ部1A、1Bに曲げ方向(径方向)への力が作用して、万が一、締結ボルト7Aが径方向に若干変位した場合でも、当該所定の隙間程度の変位であれば、締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aが挿通孔6dに当接することがなく、締結ボルト7Aの伸びや破壊を防止することができる。   Thus, even when a force in the bending direction (radial direction) acts on both flange portions 1A and 1B in a state where the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are clamped and fixed by the fastening means 7, the fastening is performed. In addition to the fastening part of the means 7, the force can be received even at the overlapping part of the inner fitting part 5A and the outer fitting part 6A, and the stress applied to the fastening part of the fastening means 7 can be reduced. In the state where the first clamping member 5 and the second clamping member 6 are fastened and fixed by the fastening means 7, the outer surface of the outer fitting portion 6A into which the inner fitting portion 5A is fitted is the two flange portions 1A, 1B. When the force in the bending direction (radial direction) acts on both flange portions 1A and 1B, the outer surface 6a and both flanges of the outer fitting portion 6A are in contact with at least one of the outer peripheral surfaces 1c and 1c. The force can be received even at locations where the portions 1A and 1B are in contact with the outer peripheral surfaces 1c and 1c, and the stress applied to the overlapping portion of the fastening means 7, the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A is reduced. be able to. Further, in a state where the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A is inserted into the insertion hole 6d, a predetermined gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the male screw portion 7a and the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 6d. Even if a force in the bending direction (radial direction) acts on the flange portions 1A and 1B and the fastening bolt 7A is slightly displaced in the radial direction, if the displacement is about the predetermined gap, the fastening bolt 7A The male screw portion 7a does not come into contact with the insertion hole 6d, and the fastening bolt 7A can be prevented from being stretched or broken.

従って、フランジ接合部補強治具Pを、両フランジ部1A、1Bに容易且つ確実に装着できるとともに、フランジ接合部補強治具Pによる両フランジ部1A、1Bの接合強度をより向上させて、両フランジ部1A、1Bを含む流体管路を所定の耐震性能(離脱防止力が3DkN以上(Dは呼び径))を備えた耐震管路に補強しつつ、しかも、両フランジ部1A、1Bの離間やずれを簡便且つ安価に防止することができる。   Therefore, the flange joint reinforcement jig P can be easily and reliably attached to both flange parts 1A and 1B, and the joint strength of both flange parts 1A and 1B by the flange joint reinforcement jig P can be further improved. While reinforcing the fluid conduit including the flange portions 1A and 1B to a seismic conduit having a predetermined seismic performance (with an anti-separation force of 3DkN or more (D is a nominal diameter)), the two flange portions 1A and 1B are separated. Misalignment can be easily and inexpensively prevented.

また、フランジ接合部補強治具Pは、筒状に構成された外嵌合部6A内に内嵌合部5Aが嵌合し、さらに、内嵌合部5A内の筒状内部空間5cに締結手段7の締結ボルト7Aが挿通されるので、両フランジ部1A、1Bの外周面1c、1cの径方向外方側位置にある内嵌合部5A及び外嵌合部6Aの配設箇所と、締結ボルト7Aの配設箇所とを兼用することができる。これにより、両フランジ部1A、1Bに装着されたフランジ接合部補強治具P及び締結ボルト7Aのフランジ接合方向(軸方向)での寸法、及び、当該フランジ接合部補強治具Pの径方向外方側(径方向)での寸法の何れをも小さくすることができ、省スペース化を図ることができる。   Further, the flange joint reinforcing jig P has an inner fitting portion 5A fitted into a cylindrical outer fitting portion 6A, and is further fastened to a cylindrical inner space 5c in the inner fitting portion 5A. Since the fastening bolt 7A of the means 7 is inserted, the locations of the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A at the radially outer side positions of the outer peripheral surfaces 1c, 1c of both flange portions 1A, 1B, It can also serve as a place where the fastening bolt 7A is disposed. Thereby, the dimension in the flange joining direction (axial direction) of the flange joint reinforcement jig P and the fastening bolt 7A attached to both flange parts 1A, 1B, and the radial outside of the flange joint reinforcement jig P Any of the dimensions on the side (radial direction) can be reduced, and space can be saved.

ここで、上述のとおり、フランジ接合部補強治具Pは、第1挟持部材5の内嵌合部5Aと第2挟持部材6の外嵌合部6Aとのフランジ接合方向(軸方向)における重なり部位の大きさ(嵌合距離)を所定範囲内で任意に調整することで、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5gの押圧面5jと第2挟持部材6の押圧部6gの押圧面6jとの間隔を所定範囲内で任意に調整可能に構成されている。
このため、両フランジ部1A、1Bの呼び径や設計圧力に応じて、両フランジ部1A、1Bの肉厚が変更される場合、例えば、図10に示すように、両フランジ部1A、1Bの肉厚よりも厚い肉厚の両フランジ部10A、10Bにフランジ接合部補強治具Pを装着する場合であっても、内嵌合部5Aと外嵌合部6Aとの重なり部位の大きさ(嵌合距離)を調整(図10では、嵌合距離を小さく調整)することで、第1挟持部材5の押圧部5gの押圧面5jをフランジ部10Aの外側面10aに当接させ且つ第2挟持部材6の押圧部6gの押圧面6jをフランジ部10Bの外側面10aに当接させた状態で、内嵌合部5Aの雌ネジ部5dに締結ボルト7Aの雄ネジ部7aを螺合させて内嵌合部5A及び外嵌合部6A、ひいては、第1挟持部材5及び第2挟持部材6を両フランジ部10A、10Bに良好に締付固定することができる。なお、第1挟持部材5の進退部材5C及び第2挟持部材6の進退部材6Bは、両フランジ部10A、10Bの径方向に進退自在に構成されているが、両進退部材5C、6Bの両押圧面5j、6jの夫々は、両フランジ部10A、10Bの外側面10a、10aにおいて、ガスケット(密封部材の一例)10Cに対応する部位(最大進入位置)で当て付けられるように構成されている。即ち、両押圧面5j、6jは、両フランジ10A、10Bの径方向においてほぼ同位置となるように位置が調整されている。なお、両フランジ部10A、10Bは、いわゆるGF形フランジである。
Here, as described above, the flange joint reinforcing jig P is overlapped in the flange joining direction (axial direction) between the inner fitting portion 5A of the first holding member 5 and the outer fitting portion 6A of the second holding member 6. By arbitrarily adjusting the size (fitting distance) of the part within a predetermined range, the pressing surface 5j of the pressing part 5g of the first clamping member 5 and the pressing surface 6j of the pressing part 6g of the second clamping member 6 The interval can be arbitrarily adjusted within a predetermined range.
For this reason, when the thickness of both flange parts 1A and 1B is changed according to the nominal diameter and design pressure of both flange parts 1A and 1B, for example, as shown in FIG. Even when the flange joint reinforcing jig P is attached to both flange portions 10A and 10B having a thickness greater than the thickness, the size of the overlapping portion between the inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A ( By adjusting the fitting distance) (in FIG. 10, the fitting distance is adjusted to be small), the pressing surface 5j of the pressing portion 5g of the first clamping member 5 is brought into contact with the outer surface 10a of the flange portion 10A and the second In a state where the pressing surface 6j of the pressing portion 6g of the clamping member 6 is in contact with the outer surface 10a of the flange portion 10B, the male screw portion 7a of the fastening bolt 7A is screwed into the female screw portion 5d of the inner fitting portion 5A. The inner fitting portion 5A and the outer fitting portion 6A, and thus the first clamping member 5 Beauty second clamping member 6 both flanges 10A, it can be satisfactorily fastened to 10B. The forward / backward member 5C of the first clamping member 5 and the forward / backward member 6B of the second clamping member 6 are configured to be movable back and forth in the radial direction of both flange portions 10A and 10B. Each of the pressing surfaces 5j and 6j is configured to be applied at a portion (maximum entry position) corresponding to the gasket (an example of a sealing member) 10C on the outer surfaces 10a and 10a of both flange portions 10A and 10B. . That is, the positions of the pressing surfaces 5j and 6j are adjusted so as to be substantially the same position in the radial direction of the flanges 10A and 10B. Both flange portions 10A and 10B are so-called GF flanges.
