Description of the Related Art Conventionally, steel pipes such as oil well pipes (casing pipes, tubing pipes, drill pipes) or steel pipe piles for civil engineering used for well protection, oil extraction and drilling of oil (gas) wells are used for vertical construction or construction. For the tapered threaded joint for pipes to be joined in the direction, insert the tapered male thread of the pin into the tapered female thread of the box in the vertical direction, and start the initial screwing (stubbing) and the subsequent screwing work easily and quickly. FIG.
A pipe joint 50a having a configuration as shown in FIG. In the pipe joint 50a, a pipe taper angle threaded joint is used in which the tapered male screw part 52 of the pin 51 of the pipe 50 and the tapered female screw part 55 of the box 54 of the short pipe 53 fit. FIG. 9 (B) is an enlarged view of a state where the threading of the pipe taper angle threaded joint is started. In order to easily explain the stubbing property of the tapered pipe threaded joint for pipes, the male and female threads 56 and 57 of the tapered male thread portion 52 and the tapered female thread portion 55 have the same shape, and the male and female thread crests 58 and 59 have the same shape. Let it be parallel to the tapered surface Tf . The fitting cross-sectional view shown in the figure shows just the case where the male thread 56 is about to bite into the female thread 57. In other words, the tapered surface of the tapered male screw portion 52 connected to the external thread crest surface 58 and the tapered surface of the tapered female screw portion 55 connected to the female screw crest surface 59 exactly compete with each other. The position of the tapered male screw portion 52 in the circumferential direction and the tapered female screw portion 55 in the circumferential direction are aligned so as to be positioned. As is apparent from the drawing, it is impossible to screw the tapered male screw part 52 into the tapered female screw part 55 with the screw shape as it is.

As shown in the figure, A
Using a PI buttress threaded joint as an example, how the male and female threads 63 and 64 are screwed after the tapered male thread 61 is inserted into the tapered female thread 62 will be described. The API buttress screw element has a taper T = 1/16 (or 62.5 mm / m, rate of change to diameter), pitch P = 5.08 mm, thread height H = 1.575 mm, stubbing flank angle η = 10
°, road flank angle γ = 3 °, male, female thread crest surface 6
The straight portions 5 and 66 are parallel to the tapered surface T p (that is, the pitch line), and the corners R of the male and female thread crests 65 and 66 are R =
It is characterized by 0.76 mm or 0.20 mm. FIG. 10A shows a situation in which the tapered male screw portion 61 and the tapered female screw portion 62 are fitted in the most convenient circumferential direction for screwing. Unlike the case of the pipe taper angle threaded joint, the opening 68 of the valley 67 of the tapered female thread portion 62 is wider than the male thread top surface 65 of the male thread 63, and the tapered male thread portion 61 falls downward from this state. Then, the corner portion 69 of the external thread 63 of the tapered external thread portion 61 can be slightly placed on the corner portion 70 of the internal thread 64 of the tapered internal thread portion 62. The part 61 will fit along the spiral.

る。In order for the tapered male screw portion 61 to fit into the tapered female screw portion 62, the relative positions of the male screw array and the female screw array do not necessarily have to be as shown in FIG. Even when the tapered male screw portion 61 is shifted downward from the position shown in FIG. 10A until the corner R of the stubbing flank surface 63 of 63 contacts the corner R of the stubbing flank surface 72 of the female screw thread 64, The portion 61 can fit into the tapered female screw portion 62. That is, when the tapered male screw portion 61 is inserted into the tapered female screw portion 62 by an amount corresponding to the circumferential direction angle corresponding to this deviation, it is possible to have a margin in the circumferential direction range in which the screw is successfully screwed. In a normal insertion and screwing start operation, the tapered male screw portion 61 is inserted into the tapered female screw portion 62, and the male thread 63 of the tapered male screw portion 61 is satisfactorily deposited to the female thread 64 of the tapered female screw portion 62 until the circumferential position. The tapered male screw part 61 is rotated. At this time, since the male thread 63 and the female thread 64 are not yet meshed with each other, if the axes of the tapered male and female threads 61 and 62 do not coincide, galling may occur. If the rotation angle is large, the work is also difficult. Therefore, as the range of the circumferential position where the male thread 63 and the female thread 64 can bite is wider, the rotation angle for rotating to an appropriate place can be reduced, and it can be said that the tapered thread joint has a good stubbing property. The advantage that the gap G between the width W of the opening 68 of the valley 67 of the tapered female screw portion 62 and the width V of the male screw crest surface 65 is large is that the tapered female screw portion 61 is dropped by the amount of the gap G to form a tapered female screw. When deposited on the stubbing flank surface 72 of the internal thread 64 of the portion 62,
Since a margin in the radial direction of (gap G in the pipe axis direction × taper T) / 2 can be ensured, a stable screw-in is possible.

にねじ込み易くしているとは言えない。As can be understood from the above description, the stubbing property is such that when the tapered male screw portion 61 is inserted into the tapered female screw portion 62, the range (θ) in the circumferential direction in which screwing can be started directly from that position. The larger the width, the more the stubbing flank surface 7 of the external thread 63 when starting screwing.
1 is larger on the stubbing flank surface 72 of the female screw thread 64, the larger the depth δ (same as the above radial deposit),
It means good. Therefore, in order to increase θ and δ that govern the stubbing property, some examples of a conventional tapered threaded joint will be described. First, API
The buttress screw joint will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG.
The angle of the stubbing flank surface 71, that is, the stubbing flank angle η, is inclined by 10 ° from a plane perpendicular to the tube axis C. The larger the inclination of the stub flank angle η, the larger the gap G for filling. Secondly, R = 0.76 mm of the corner portion 69 of the stubbing flank surface 71 of the external thread 63 of the tapered external thread portion 61 is taken.
Is spreading. In addition, the tapered male screw part 61 may be slightly (0.03 mm in diameter) thinner than the tapered female screw part 62, or the corners 75, 76 of the male and female screw crest surfaces 65, 66 and the load flank surfaces 73, 74 may be formed. The gap G is slightly widened even when R is slightly set (R = 0.20 mm in FIG. 10B). The total sum of all the gaps in this case is estimated to be about 1.75 mm. When this is converted into a range (θ) in the circumferential direction, θ = (360 ° × 1.7)
5) /5.08=124° On the other hand, depth (δ)
Is δ = 1.75 / 32 = 0.055 mm. Although the screwing range is larger than that of the square screw in FIG. 9, it cannot be said that the screwing is positively facilitated.

のがある。Further, SEAL-LOC manufactured by ARMCO, Inc.
To explain the K joint, in this special joint,
First, by inclining the stubbing flank angle η on the insertion side by 45 ° with respect to a plane perpendicular to the tube axis, the width of the valley portion of the female screw thread is substantially widened, and at the time of stubbing, the male screw thread of the tapered male screw portion is reduced. It is easy to fit in the valley of the tapered female thread. Second, when the male and female thread crests are parallel to the pipe axis, and the tapered male thread is inserted into the tapered female thread, the places where the male thread and the female thread compete with each other are reduced. further,
In a special joint manufactured by VETCO-GRAY, four screw threads can be formed at 360 degrees around the circumference by applying a four-start thread. Therefore, after inserting the tapered male thread into the tapered female thread, a slight rotation is required. It can be easily screwed in by adjustment. In addition, in the case of a normal single thread, a screwable portion is one place. Furthermore, multi-start screws (n-start)
The greatest feature of the present invention is that once screwing is started, the number of rotations until completion of tightening becomes 1 / n compared to a single thread screw. This is a very important factor for large diameter joints that are tightened with ropes or the like. As another special joint, there is a special joint in which the entrance of the tapered female thread is lengthened (provided with a stubbing guide) so that the tapered male thread is not inclined when inserted into the tapered female thread.

ためのものではない。However, the conventional pipe joint has the following problems to be solved. In the case of the single thread form, the insertion position is not always the screwing start position, and there is a problem that the tapered male thread must be rotated to find the screwing position. On the other hand, in the case of the form of a multi-threaded screw including a four-threaded screw, since there are only as many screwable locations as possible, the rotation for adjustment can be reduced, thereby considerably improving the stubbing property as compared with the single-threaded screw. Nevertheless, it is not always possible to immediately screw in from the insertion position. Further, in the configuration provided with the stubbing guide, troubles such as galling due to the oblique insertion of the screw can be prevented, but it is not essentially for performing the screwing immediately after the insertion.

現させるために、次の4つの要素技術を採用している。The present invention has been made based on the following concept. There are the following three cases when the tapered male screw portion is inserted straight into the tapered female screw portion. First, when male and female threads compete for each other, second, when male and female threads partially compete,
Third, the top surface of the external thread of the tapered external thread portion overlaps the valley portion of the internal thread of the tapered internal thread portion, and the side surface (stubbing flank surface) of the external thread portion of the tapered external thread portion continues to the side surface (stubbing flank) of the internal thread. It is time to land on the side. In order to enable the screwing immediately after the insertion, the shape of the male and female threads or the thread cutting so that the tapered male thread is always in the third state after the tapered male thread is inserted into the tapered female thread is aimed at by the present invention. It is necessary to devise a processing method. The present invention employs the following four element technologies in order to always reproduce the third state.

まることになる。As shown in FIG. 2, the first elemental technology is such that the tapered male screw portion 11 and the tapered female screw portion 12 are always tapered at the time of thread cutting so that the relative positions of the axial threads are always in the third state. The coordinates (r, Z m ) of the corner of the stubbing flank surface 15 on the insertion side of the thread crest surface 14 of the external thread 13 from the distal end 20 of the external thread portion 11 are determined in advance, and the pipe 16 (or the pipe) through which it passes is determined. A mark S 1 (not shown) is provided at the circumferential position of the tubing (referred to as a tube), and at the same time, as shown in FIG.
Valley 1 of female thread 17 where corner of thread starts filling
A mark S 2 (not shown) is also provided in the circumferential direction of the tip 20a of the tapered female screw portion 12 of the pipe 19 (or a short pipe) so that 8 becomes the coordinates (r, Z f ). The positions of the tapered male and female threads 11 and 12 in the circumferential direction are determined so that the marks S 1 and S 2 overlap each other, and the pipe joint 10 is screwed. The second elemental technology is to reduce the probability of male and female threads competing during stubbing by making some of the multi-threaded threads in one lead lower than the other threads. This is equivalent to considering the lower part of the thread substantially as the root of a single thread. Therefore, in the case of a double-start thread, there is a valley width that is three times the width of the thread crest of the male thread of the tapered male thread, and the male thread easily fits in the valley of the tapered female thread during stubbing. Will fit.

By inclining to the opposite side, the male and female threads are in contact at the point where they come into contact at the surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the tapered male and female threads 11, 12
The thread crests 14 and 22 of the male and female threads 13 and 17 are slightly tapered from a plane D (dashed line in FIG. 2) parallel to the pipe axis C (imaginary tapered surface T in FIG. 2). And a tapered surface E (solid line in FIG. 2) in the opposite direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the fourth element technology takes into account the thread processing tolerance,
Theoretically, the axial range in which the tapered male screw portion 11 can be screwed into the tapered female screw portion 12 from the inserted state is the stand-off tolerance of the screw (or also referred to as a relative diameter error,
This is a value obtained by converting the diameter tolerance of the taper thread in the length direction, and in the case of an API buttress threaded joint, 1/2 pitch.)
Try to be bigger.

継手強度低下の抑制を同時に満足させることができる。If the second and third elemental technologies are satisfied, it is theoretically possible to insert the tapered male screw portion at any position in the circumferential direction without any change. In order to stably land the stubbing flank surface of the thread on the stubbing flank surface of the female thread of the tapered female thread, make sure that the standoff tolerance of the screw is in the center of the allowable range for screwing immediately after insertion, and It is preferable to perform screw processing with a small tolerance and high accuracy. According to the present invention, it is possible to screw the tapered male screw portion 11 into any position of the 360 ° tapered female screw portion 12 as it is by using only the second and third element technologies. Slightly tapered male thread 11 and tapered female thread 12
The marks S 1 , S 2 and the fourth element for designating the insertion position at the time of thread cutting shown in the first element technology so that the stubbing property can be stably secured in consideration of the inclination of each axis. It also considers the concept of the optimal insertion position in consideration of the stand-off tolerance of the screw in the technology.By applying each element technology alone or in combination, effective stubbing, quick tightening,
The suppression of the joint strength reduction can be satisfied at the same time.

(See FIGS. 6C and 6D).
Furthermore, by combining with the idea of the stubbing guide described above, it is possible to prevent the anti-seizure (cross-thread) of the screw that is expected at the time of the oblique screwing, and to perform a series of operations from stubbing to the tapered female screw part of the tapered male screw part. Labor saving is also possible.

りwは最大となる。FIG. 1 shows a threaded lead L (see FIG. 2) having a different thread height for each thread, and a tapered male and female threaded portions 11 and 12 composed of a double thread having a pitch p (L / 2). ,
With the external threads 13, 13a and the internal threads 17, 17a being in contact with the points of the respective thread crests 14, 22 and the virtual taper T, the stabbing flank 15 and the thread crest 14 of the male thread 13 are still in contact. The state where the corner portion 24 is in contact with the corner portion 27 between the stubbing flank surface 25 of the female thread 17 of the tapered female thread portion 12 and the thread crest surface 22, that is, the insertion position is shown. The external thread 13a
In the female thread 17a, those corresponding to the elements of the male thread 13 and the female thread 17 are described with the suffix a added to the figure. From this state, when the corner portion 24 of the male thread 13 of the tapered male screw portion 11 slips through the corner portion 27 of the female thread 17 of the tapered female screw portion 12, the corner portion 24
Drops downward along a plane D (shown by a broken line) parallel to the pipe axis C of the pipe joint 10, slightly deflects the immediately lower internal thread 17a, and stabs the flank surface of the lower internal thread 17 thereunder. Landing at point 28 of 25. That is, the male thread 13a having a lower height and the female thread 17a are replaced with the male thread 13 having a higher height.
However, it may be set low enough not to hinder landing on the tall internal thread 17. Thus, the stubbing flank surface 15 of the tall male thread 13 has been successfully
When overlapping the stubbing flank surface 25 of the tall internal thread 17, the overlap w of the external thread 13 and the internal thread 17 at this time becomes the maximum.

示す。The reason why the stubbing flank surface 15 of the male thread 13 can be successfully landed on the stubbing flank surface 25 of the female thread 17 is, as is apparent from the drawing, that every other lower thread is arranged. In addition to the above, the pipe axis C is set so that the thread crest surface 14 of the male thread 13 and the thread crest surface 22 of the female thread 17 having a predetermined width such as a square screw or a trapezoidal screw do not compete with each other at the time of insertion. This is because the stubbing clearance angle β is provided on the side opposite to the screw taper angle α with respect to the plane D parallel to Ideally, these thread crests 14 and 22 do not compete with each other even if they are parallel to the pipe axis C (the dashed supplementary line in FIG. 1).
There is a slight inclination when inserting the, so actually male,
The female threads 13, 17 may compete with each other. The larger the stubbing relief angle β is, the better the ease of screwing is. However, if the stubbing clearance angle β is too large, the height h of the load flank surfaces 23 and 23a which bear the load during the joint pulling becomes low, and the tapered male screw portion 11 is separated from the tapered female screw portion 12. It is not appropriate to make it unnecessarily large because there is a problem that it easily comes off. In particular, external threads 13, 13a, internal threads 17, 17
Since the thread height is sacrificed by lowering the height a, the inclination angles of the thread crests 14 and 22 are determined in consideration of this point so as to secure the required screw height. 1 and 2, reference numeral 16 denotes a pipe, 18 denotes a valley, 1
Reference numeral 9 denotes a pipe, and 26 denotes a load flank surface of the female thread 17.

向となる。In the pipe joint 10 shown in FIG. 2, the position where the corner portion 24 of the external thread 13 comes into contact with the virtual tapered surface T and stops is as follows.
1 shows a state in which it advances in the screwing direction by one pitch P compared to the case of FIG. 1 and is located at the center of the screw lead L in the figure. The reason why the corner portion 24 of the external thread 13 of the tapered external thread portion 11 is set at the center of the screw lead L is that even if the stubbing operation involves a stand-off tolerance of the screw and a slight inclination, the start position of the external thread 13 is reduced. This is for stably landing the bing flank surface 15 on the stub flank surface 25 of the female thread 17 of the tapered female thread portion 12. The range of the relative displacement of the male thread 13 with respect to the female thread 17 due to the stand-off tolerance of the screw is the range of s shown in FIG. If corner 24
Is shifted to the upper end of the range of s, it is difficult to slip through the corner 27 of the female thread 17, while if it is shifted to the lower end of the range of s, the distance to the corner 27 of the female thread 17 is And the overlap between the two stubbing flank surfaces 15 and 25 at the time of landing is narrowed, so that the direction becomes less stable.

ている。FIG. 3 shows a state in which the tapered male thread 11 and the tapered female thread 12 of the pipe joint 10 have been tightened, that is, a fitted state. Pipe fitting 10 according to the present embodiment
The feature of the tapered screw shape in the case of (1) is that the height of the load flank surfaces 23, 23a, 26, 26a is lower than that of the stubbing flank surfaces 15, 15a, 25, 25a. Since this may cause the tapered male screw portion 11 to come off as described above, the following two methods are employed to increase the resistance. First, as shown in FIG. 3, it is that the tilting load flanks 23a, 26a to the person who hardly dropout from the vertical plane V s for the pipe axis C by an angle gamma. Second is the thread crest surface 1 of the male and female threads 13 and 17
Instead of making the entire surface of 4, 22 a stubbing clearance angle β,
The stubbing flank angle β is set only on the side near the stubbing flank surfaces 15, 15a, 25, and 25a, and the remaining sides near the load flank surfaces 23, 23a, 26, and 26a are parallel, or conversely, the stubbing flank surface 15, 15a, 25, 2
Only the side close to 5a is parallel, and the remaining road flank 2
By applying the stubbing clearance angle β to the sides 3, 3, a, 26, and 26a, the road flank surface 23,
The height h of 23a, 26, 26a is prevented from becoming low. The dashed line in FIG. 3 is a supplementary line when the thread crests 14 and 22 are parallel to the pipe axis C, and indicates a margin of improvement in the fitting height of the load flank surfaces 23, 23a, 26 and 26a. I have.

高い雄ねじ山を示す。Although the example of the double thread has been described in detail, the tightening becomes faster as the number of threads increases. Therefore, how to attach the three-threaded screw and the four-threaded screw to the height of the thread will be described. FIG. 4A shows a case where three high threads are arranged every two high threads, that is, every (number of threads-1) threads. The male thread 13c is at a position where the landing can be seen through the female thread 17d in a state where the male thread 13c has slipped through the female thread 17c. The overlap of the stubbing flank can be widened, and it is possible to stably land on the female thread 17d in a wide range within the screw lead L. However, when the fitting state (two-dot chain line) is imagined, the fitting height has a disadvantage that the fitting height becomes narrow as shown in the figure. Note that reference numeral 13d in FIG. 4A indicates a high male thread.

る。FIG. 4 (B) shows that this disadvantage is solved.
At the expense of the stubbing position and the landing width, the height of the female threads 17g and 17h between the high female threads 17e and 17f is increased. Male thread 13e, 13f
Can land on the female threads 17h and 17f, respectively.
Note that reference numerals 13g and 13h in FIG. 4B also indicate external threads. FIG. 5 (A) shows a case where four high threads are arranged every other high thread. The stubbing property (operability from insertion to screwing) and the screw fitting condition are the same as those of the double thread, and the screwing speed can be doubled as compared with the double thread. The external threads 13i and 13k can land on the internal threads 17k and 17n, respectively. FIG. 5B shows a case in which four high threads are arranged at every three high threads, that is, at every (number of threads-1) threads. The external thread 13p is located at a position where the landing can be seen through the internal thread 17t in a state where the external thread 13p passes through the internal thread 17p. FIG.
As in (A), the stubbing properties are good, but the joint efficiency is sacrificed. If the relative positions of the screw rows of the external thread and the internal thread can be controlled in the thread cutting process, FIG.
4B and FIG. 5A, the stubbing has a sufficient margin, so that FIG. And FIG.
(A) is more appropriate if the joint efficiency is also taken into account.

2条ねじの場合と同様である。Even if the number of threads is increased as described above, in order to improve the passage of the external thread during stubbing, the thread crest of a high thread may be inclined opposite to the thread row taper surface, or may be just right. When threading to fit into the position,
The technical concept, such as marking the pipe, is the same as in the case of the above-mentioned double thread.

きた。The threaded joint processing was performed in such a manner, a tapered male thread was inserted into the tapered female thread, and it was tested whether or not screwing was possible from that state. As a result, it was confirmed that if the tapered male screw portion is carefully inserted into the tapered female screw portion so that the pipe axis C does not tilt, it can be screwed as it is at any position in 360 °. In addition, as a matter of course, the number of rotations can be reduced to half of that of a normal API buttress threaded joint because of the double thread. Furthermore, in order to eliminate axial misalignment, the tip of the tapered female thread (or the pipe end) is 200m
When the same operation was carried out by welding a cylinder of m as a stubbing guide, it was also confirmed that continuous stubbing and screwing work was possible without using a nerve for alignment.

め、差し込み及びねじ込み作業が容易に実施できる。In the pipe joint according to the fourth aspect, when the tapered male thread is inserted into the tapered female thread, the virtual tapered surface in contact with the thread crest of the external thread and the virtual taper surface in contact with the thread crest of the female thread compete with each other. In this state, if the tapered male thread portion is lowered as it is in the vertical direction, the thread crest of the male thread does not compete with the thread crest of the female thread, and the stubbing flank of the male thread may overlap the stubbing flank of the female thread. In order to reproduce the possible positional relationship between the original male thread row and female thread row, a mark is made to match in the circumferential direction of the tapered male thread part and the tapered female thread part at the time of thread cutting, so from the insertion position of the tapered male thread part The screwing operation can be performed as it is, and the screwing operation can be performed more easily and quickly. In the pipe joint according to the fifth aspect, an ideal male thread array which does not consider a machining error of a screw in consideration of a relative diameter error of a thread array taper surface of each of a taper male thread portion and a taper female thread portion during thread cutting. And, within the appropriate range of the predetermined range that allows the screwing immediately after the insertion of the male screw row, the position of the corner between the thread crest surface of the external thread of the tapered male screw portion and the stubbing flank is always at the center of the appropriate range. With this configuration, the continuous operation of inserting the tapered male screw portion and subsequent screwing can be performed regardless of the machining error of the screw. In the pipe joint according to the sixth aspect, in the ideal state, since the appropriate range is larger than the machining error of the thread, the continuous operation of the insertion of the tapered male thread and the subsequent threading is further improved. In the pipe joint according to claim 7, since a stubbing guide following the tapered female thread is provided at the pipe end of the tapered female thread, the tapered male thread is guided by the stubbing guide, and the shaft core comes out. Insertion and screwing work can be easily performed.
