Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To connect a metallic tube with safety and excellent workability by providing a welding part made of a resin which has weldability for metal on at least a part of a portion which comes into contact with a metallic tube. SOLUTION: A coupling 1 is the one which is provided with a welding part 2 which is made of a resin having weldability for metal at a portion which comes into contact with a metallic tube 5 of a coupling main body 3 having an inside diameter which is almost equal to the outside diameter of the metallic tube 5. After the metallic tube 5 is inserted into this coupling 1, the vicinity of the coupling 1 of the metallic tube 5 is heated by a heater 7. When this heating is performed, gas and moisture sucked on the surface of the metallic tube 5 can be scattered. This contributes to improvement of adhesion of the surface of the metallic tube 5 to a resin. Next, the welding part 2 is melted by heat conduction from the metallic tube 5 and the metallic tube 5 and the coupling 1 can be welded and joined with sufficient strength.

However, the above-described method of connecting the metal tubes has the following problems. That is, 1) In the connection method by brazing, the quality of the connection portion varies depending on the technical level of the operator, and becomes unstable. Also,
Since fires such as burners are used, caution must be exercised for fires and other accidents, which entails risks. 2) The connection method by mechanical screwing requires that the pipe be pre-threaded. Therefore, when the pipe length is adjusted at the site, the threading operation must be performed at the site, resulting in poor workability. Also, in the connection method by caulking, when the connection portion is in a narrow space, the connection work becomes difficult, and the workability deteriorates. 3) When the electric fusion method is used to connect the metal tubes, the resin may be melted by the heating and the heating wire may move, and the heating wire may come into contact with the metal tube. Upon contact, the metal tube is conductive, so even if the heating wire is insulated, there is a risk of electric shock due to short-circuit and fire due to overheating. In general, when a metal is bonded to a resin, it is necessary to sufficiently heat the metal to remove gas, moisture, and the like adsorbed on the surface in order to sufficiently bring out the bonding strength. However, when a heating wire is present in the adhesive resin, the heat is transmitted in the order of the heating wire, the adhesive resin, and the metal tube. In general, since the thermal conductivity of adhesive resin is much lower than that of metal, it is difficult for heat to transfer from the adhesive resin to the metal tube, and the heat transmitted to the metal tube quickly escapes from the connection part through the tube. Would. Therefore, when the metal tube is sufficiently heated, the adhesive resin is deteriorated due to overheating, and it becomes difficult to maintain the adhesive force for a long time. In order to prevent overheating of the resin, a method of changing the power supply to the joint with time so as not to overheat is conceivable. However, a dedicated power controller is expensive, and for the above-mentioned reason, the energizing time becomes longer, which is not practical. 4) In the connection method using the shape memory alloy member, the cost is high because the shape memory alloy material is expensive.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the metal tube is heated to fuse the resin having the fusibility to the metal tube and the metal, thereby connecting the metal tube. The heating does not need to be as hot as using a fire, and there is no danger of work. Also, no special tool other than the heating device is required, and workability is good. Further, since there is no need for heating by a heating wire buried in the joint body such as a conventional electric fusion joint, there is no problem of an accident due to an electric short circuit. Further, since expensive members such as a shape memory alloy material are not required, the cost is reduced.

Things. After inserting the metal tube 5 into the joint 1, the vicinity of the joint 1 of the metal tube 5 is heated by the heating device 7. When this heating is performed, first, the gas and moisture adsorbed on the surface of the metal tube 5 can be blown off. This contributes to improving the adhesion of the surface of the metal tube 5 to the resin. Then, the fusion portion 2 is melted by heat conduction from the metal tube 5, and the metal tube 5 and the joint 1 can be fusion-bonded with sufficient strength. In the joint 1, the joint 2 and the joint body 3 may be made of the same material.

As a material constituting the fused portion 2, a material which can be firmly bonded to the metal tube 5 by heat fusion is preferable, and examples thereof include a modified polyolefin resin, a polyurethane resin, a polyamide resin, and an epoxy resin. However, if a resin having a low melt viscosity that is easily melted by heating the metal tube 5 is used, the molten resin leaks from the end of the joint body 3 at the time of melting, and the resin pressure inside the joint 1 is sufficiently increased. There is a risk of disappearing. Therefore, a resin having a certain degree of viscosity even when heated to a high temperature so that the adhesive force can be sufficiently exhibited is preferable. For example, a resin mainly composed of high-density polyethylene graft-polymerized with maleic anhydride or an epoxy group is preferable.

The metal tube 5 was inserted into these joints 1, and an electric brazing machine was used as the heating device 7 to heat the vicinity of the joint 1 of the metal tube 5 and fusion-bonded to the fusion portion 2. When a pressure resistance test was performed on the connection portion of the metal tube 5 formed in this manner, a leak was found in the joint 1 in which the joint body 3 was made of a crosslinked polyolefin or PPS even when pressurized to 10 atm in 95 ° C. hot water. Was not. Further, the joint 1 in which the joint body 3 was made of a non-crosslinked polyolefin was deformed by heating at the time of fusion, but did not leak even when pressurized in room temperature water. The pressure test was performed as follows. First, a joint filled with water is left in a constant temperature water tank maintained at a temperature of 95 ° C. for a certain period of time to make the temperature of the joint uniform, and then water is pumped through a hose connected to the joint. Then, the joint pressure is maintained at 10 atm, and if no water leakage is observed for one hour, the joint is judged to be acceptable.

(Example 2) In FIG. 1, a joint 1 was prepared by injection molding using a thermoplastic polyurethane for a fused portion 2 and a crosslinked polyolefin for a joint body 3. Similarly to Example 1, the joint 1 and the metal tube 5 were fusion-bonded and subjected to a pressure resistance test. As a result, no leak was found even when pressure was applied in hot water at 95 ° C. In addition, in this example, the protrusion of the thermoplastic polyurethane constituting the fused portion 2 inside the joint 1 by heating was recognized.

The outer periphery of the joint body 3 is covered with a cover 4 made of an iron plate. When the joint 1 and the metal pipe 5 of the present embodiment are fusion-bonded, the outer shape of the joint body 3 is fixed by the cover 4, so that the shape of the fusion-bonded portion does not change, and is the same as in the first and second embodiments. When a pressure resistance test was performed, no leak was found.

(Embodiment 4) As shown in FIG.
The same resin material as above is used, and on the outer periphery of the joint body 3 at positions corresponding to both sides of the fused portion 2, fin-shaped portions 3
a, 3b. Reference numeral 6 denotes a sensor hole for detecting completion of fusion, and visual inspection of the protrusion of the molten resin from the sensor hole 6;
The completion of fusion is detected by measuring the pressure of the molten resin.
When the joint 1 of this embodiment was fusion-bonded to the metal tube 5, no leakage of the resin from the fusion portion 2 was observed inside the joint body 3, and the molten resin protruded from the sensor hole 6. The completion of the fusion could be easily known, and the fusion state was good. By the way, when the joint 1 is heated by the heat conduction from the metal tube 5, it tends to spread due to thermal expansion. However, since the end of the joint 1 has the highest temperature, the end of the joint 1 into which the metal tube 5 is inserted is Will spread. As a result, the molten resin from the fused portion 2 may leak from the end of the joint 1 before the sensor hole 6, and the resin pressure in the joint 1 may not be sufficiently increased. Therefore, when the fin-shaped portion 3a is provided and the end of the joint 1 is cooled, the joint 1 does not spread, so that the pressure of the molten resin in the joint 1 can be increased. In addition, the fusion part 2
When the fin-shaped portion 3b is provided further inside, resin leakage to the inside of the joint 1 can be prevented.
