Description

管継手Pipe fitting
 本発明は、管継手に関する。 The present invention relates to a pipe joint.
 従来、管継手の一種として、フレア継手が広く用いられている。一般に、図14に示すように、雄ネジ付き継手本体30のテーパ面31と、継手本体30の雄ネジ32に螺着される袋ナット33のテーパ面34の間に、金属製の被接続パイプ35の端部を拡径テーパ状に塑性加工して成るフレア端部37を、挟持させて抜止めし、かつ、その圧接力により密封する構造である。 Conventionally, flare joints are widely used as a type of pipe joint. In general, as shown in FIG. 14, a metal connected pipe is provided between the tapered surface 31 of the male threaded joint body 30 and the tapered surface 34 of the cap nut 33 screwed to the male thread 32 of the joint body 30. A flare end 37 formed by plastic working the end of 35 into a diameter-expanded taper is sandwiched to prevent the flare from being removed, and is sealed by its pressure contact force.
 しかし、上記フレア加工が配管作業現場の作業能率アップを阻害しているという欠点があった。そこで、その問題を回避するために種々の管継手が提案されている。本発明者の内の一人は、図15、図16に示すように、外周面にU字状凹周溝40を有する円筒形状の圧縮変形用スリーブ41を、袋ナット42の内部に収納したものを提案した(特許文献1参照)。 However, there was a drawback that the above flare processing hindered the work efficiency improvement at the piping work site. Therefore, various pipe joints have been proposed to avoid the problem. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, one of the inventors has a cylindrical compression deformation sleeve 41 having a U-shaped concave circumferential groove 40 on the outer peripheral surface, and is housed inside a cap nut 42. (See Patent Document 1).
 しかし、部品点数が多く、複雑な形状の部品(圧縮変形用スリーブ41)を必要とし、組立時に手間がかかるという欠点があった。さらに、圧縮変形用スリーブ41と継手本体43とのテーパ状接触面44,45が金属同士の圧接による密封機能を発揮させる構成であるため、相互の軸心が、偏心したり、微小角度だけ傾斜すれば、そのテーパ状接触面44,45からの流体洩れの虞があった。そして、上記凹周溝40が、袋ナット42の螺進によって圧縮されて、図17(A)(B)に示す状態から図17(C)に示すように変形した際、上述の偏心や傾斜に伴って凹周溝底部47が、 360°均等にパイプ46に食い込まないという問題があった。即ち、 360°均等にパイプ46に食い込まなければ、流体洩れを起こし、かつ、パイプ46の耐引抜力が不十分となるといった問題があった。 However, there are disadvantages that the number of parts is large, a complicatedly shaped part (sleeve 41 for compression deformation) is required, and it takes time during assembly. Furthermore, since the tapered contact surfaces 44 and 45 of the compression deformation sleeve 41 and the joint body 43 are configured to exert a sealing function by pressure-contact between metals, the mutual axial centers are eccentric or inclined by a minute angle. Then, there was a risk of fluid leakage from the tapered contact surfaces 44 and 45. When the concave circumferential groove 40 is compressed by the screwing of the cap nut 42 and deformed from the state shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B as shown in FIG. Accordingly, there is a problem that the concave groove bottom 47 does not bite into the pipe 46 evenly by 360 °. That is, if the pipe 46 does not bite evenly by 360 °, there is a problem that fluid leaks and the pull-out force of the pipe 46 becomes insufficient.

Further, since the tapered contact surface between the compression deformation sleeve and the joint main body is displaced (according to the eccentricity or inclination of the shaft center), there is a risk of fluid leakage and the concave circumferential groove of the compression deformation sleeve. The bottom does not bite into the pipe evenly by 360 °, causing fluid leakage and insufficient resistance to pulling out of the connected pipe.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the illustrated embodiment.
1, 2 and 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a state immediately before the pipe P is inserted, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view in an untightened state where the pipe P is inserted. FIG. 3 and FIG. 3 are sectional views showing a tightening (connection) completion state.
 この管継手は、雄ネジ付き金属製継手本体1と、継手本体1の雄ネジ2に螺着される金属製袋ナット3と、を備える。継手本体1が、被接続用パイプPを差込むための、アキシャル外方向に開口する円筒形状の差込溝部4を、有する。差込溝部4は、内筒部5と外筒部6と奥方溝底部7によって形成される。差込溝部4の内面を形成する、内筒部5の内周面、及び、外筒部6の外周面は、(凹凸のない)平滑面をもって形成されている。 The pipe joint includes a metal joint body 1 with a male thread and a metal cap nut 3 that is screwed onto the male thread 2 of the joint body 1. The joint body 1 has a cylindrical insertion groove portion 4 that opens in the axial outward direction for inserting the pipe P to be connected. The insertion groove part 4 is formed by the inner cylinder part 5, the outer cylinder part 6, and the rear groove bottom part 7. The inner peripheral surface of the inner cylinder part 5 and the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder part 6 that form the inner surface of the insertion groove part 4 are formed with smooth surfaces (without irregularities).
 外筒部6が、鋭利な三角頂部8(図4参照)を奥側に有する断面5角形の鋭利溝S―――これを両流れ屋根付建物型溝S、あるいは、二等辺三角形と矩形を積重ねた断面5角形状の5角溝Sと、言い換えることもできる―――を有し、継手本体1の雄ネジ2と袋ナット3を螺着させる際に、継手本体1と一体の内筒部5にてパイプ先端Pの内面Pを受持しつつ、継手本体1と一体の外筒部6が袋ナット3からアキシャル方向の圧縮力F(図5、図6参照)を受けて、鋭利溝Sの底壁部Sがラジアル内方向へ塑性変形して、差込溝部4に挿入されているパイプPの外面P側から食い込んで抜止めする。 A sharp groove S having a pentagonal cross section with a sharp triangular apex 8 (see FIG. 4) on the back side of the outer cylinder portion 6—this is a building-type groove S with a double-flow roof, or an isosceles triangle and a rectangle. An internal cylinder integrated with the joint body 1 when the male screw 2 and the cap nut 3 of the joint body 1 are screwed together, which is a pentagonal groove S having a cross-sectional pentagonal shape and can be paraphrased. While receiving the inner surface P 2 of the pipe tip P 1 at the portion 5, the outer cylinder portion 6 integral with the joint body 1 receives the axial compressive force F (see FIGS. 5 and 6) from the cap nut 3. The bottom wall portion S 1 of the sharp groove S is plastically deformed in the radial inward direction and bites in from the outer surface P 3 side of the pipe P inserted into the insertion groove portion 4 so as to prevent it from being removed.
 図4の未圧縮状態から、(袋ナット3の螺進に伴って)圧縮力Fを受けると、図5に示すように、底壁部Sが、 360°全周に渡って均等に、直ちにラジアル内方向へ塑性変形していく。その後、図6に示すように、ラジアル内方向へ三角形に近い山型の閉円環状食い込み部Sを形成する。 When the compression force F is received from the uncompressed state of FIG. 4 (according to the screwing of the cap nut 3), as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom wall portion S 1 is evenly distributed over the entire 360 ° circumference. Immediately plastically deforms radially inward. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6, a mountain-shaped closed annular bite S 2 that is close to a triangle is formed in the radial inward direction.
 上述したように、「底壁部S1 が、 360°全周に渡って均等に塑性変形する」のは、以下のような理由によるものと考察される。
 (i) 塑性変形を起こす外筒部6の軸心、円筒形状の差込溝部4の軸心、(この差込溝部4に差込まれた)被接続用パイプPの軸心、パイプPの内面P2 を保持する内筒部5の軸心は、全て、継手本体1の軸心L1 と常に一致し、このように常に一致した状態下で、底壁部S1 が塑性変形してゆくため。
 (ii) 即ち、従来例の図15,図16に於て、スリーブ41が、継手本体43と別体であるが故に、スリーブ41の軸心が、継手本体43の軸心に対して、偏心したり、傾斜する虞があったが、本発明では、そのような偏心や傾斜が発生せず、外筒部6自身が、その軸心を継手本体1の軸心1と常時一致させながら、底壁部S1 が塑性変形を起こすため。
As described above, it is considered that “the bottom wall portion S 1 is uniformly plastically deformed over the entire 360 ° circumference” for the following reason.
(i) The axial center of the outer cylindrical part 6 that causes plastic deformation, the axial center of the cylindrical insertion groove part 4, the axial center of the pipe P to be connected (inserted into the insertion groove part 4), the pipe P The axial center of the inner cylinder portion 5 that holds the inner surface P 2 always coincides with the axial center L 1 of the joint body 1, and the bottom wall portion S 1 is plastically deformed in such a state that it always coincides. To go.
(ii) That is, in FIGS. 15 and 16 of the conventional example, since the sleeve 41 is separate from the joint body 43, the axis of the sleeve 41 is eccentric with respect to the axis of the joint body 43. However, in the present invention, such eccentricity and inclination do not occur, and the outer cylinder portion 6 itself always keeps its axis aligned with the axis 1 of the joint body 1, This is because the bottom wall S 1 undergoes plastic deformation.
 図7に示すように、鋭利溝Sの形状は、各寸法の割合を変更自在である。すなわち、図7(A)は、(アキシャル方向長さ寸法L):(矩形の深さ寸法H):(二等辺三角形の高さ寸法H)=2:1:1に設定した場合を示す。図7(B)は、アキシャル方向長さ寸法Lの割合を、図7(A)よりも小さく設定した場合を示す。図7(C)は、矩形の深さ寸法Hの割合を図7(A)よりも小さく設定した場合―――つまり、H1 <H2 ―――を示す。図7(D)は、アキシャル方向長さ寸法Lの割合、及び、矩形の深さ寸法Hの割合を図7(A)よりも小さく設定した場合を示す。 As shown in FIG. 7, the ratio of each dimension can be freely changed in the shape of the sharp groove S. That is, FIG. 7A shows a case where (axial direction length dimension L) :( rectangular depth dimension H 1 ) :( isosceles triangle height dimension H 2 ) = 2: 1: 1. Show. FIG. 7B shows a case where the ratio of the length dimension L in the axial direction is set smaller than that in FIG. FIG. 7C shows a case where the ratio of the rectangular depth dimension H 1 is set smaller than that in FIG. 7A—that is, H 1 <H 2 — . FIG. 7D shows a case where the ratio of the axial length dimension L and the ratio of the rectangular depth dimension H 1 are set smaller than those in FIG. 7A.
 図1~図3に示すように、袋ナット3がアキシャル方向外方側内周面9にシール溝10を有し、シール溝10にシール11を有する。このシール11が、仮に存在しない場合は、パイプPを図1から図2のように挿入する際、不意に抜け出そうとして、差込深さが狂ってしまう虞があるが、上記シール11を袋ナット3に設けることによって、パイプPの差込深さを、安定して、正確に保つことができ、さらには、袋ナット3に対してパイプPのセンタリングを行わしめ得るという作用効果を発揮する。図8及び図9に示すように、袋ナット3のアキシャル内方側の(雌ネジ20よりアキシャル内方に設けられた平滑内周面13の)内径Dを、継手本体1の雄ネジ基端側近傍外周面12の外径Dより、わずかに小さく(例えば、 0.1mm~ 0.3mm小さく)設定して、袋ナット3と継手本体1の雄ネジ2を螺着させる際、袋ナット3のアキシャル方向内方側の内周面13が外周面12に圧接状態で乗り上げて、メタルとメタルの接触によるメタルシールをするように構成する。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cap nut 3 has a seal groove 10 on the outer circumferential inner surface 9 in the axial direction and a seal 11 in the seal groove 10. If this seal 11 does not exist, when inserting the pipe P as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. By providing the nut 3, the insertion depth of the pipe P can be maintained stably and accurately, and further, the effect of being able to center the pipe P with respect to the cap nut 3 is exhibited. . As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the inner diameter D 1 (on the smooth inner peripheral surface 13 provided axially inward from the female screw 20) on the axial inner side of the cap nut 3 is set to the male screw base of the joint body 1. When setting the cap nut 3 and the male screw 2 of the joint body 1 to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter D 2 of the outer peripheral surface 12 near the end side (for example, 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm smaller), the cap nut 3 The inner peripheral surface 13 on the inner side in the axial direction rides on the outer peripheral surface 12 in a pressure contact state, and performs metal sealing by contact between the metal and the metal.
 継手本体1の外筒部6の先端面16、及び、先端面16を押圧する袋ナット3の押圧面17を、軸心直交面とする。 360°均等にかつ効率良く袋ナット3の押圧面17にて外筒部6の先端面16を押圧して、鋭利溝Sを圧縮変形させることができる。
 さらに具体的に説明する。仮に、先端面16と押圧面17を勾配面(テーパ面)とした場合には、袋ナット3の螺進に伴って、(鋭利溝Sの圧縮変形以外に)外筒部6の先端縁を、ラジアル内方向に押圧する縮径変形を生じさせることとなる。このような縮径変形を生じさせるために、余分な回転トルクを袋ナット3に付与せねばならず、袋ナット回転作業が難しくなる。言い換えると、先端面16及び押圧面17が軸心L1 と直交面状であることによって、付与すべき回転トルクは、鋭利溝Sの圧縮変形に集中的に活用できることとなる。
The front end surface 16 of the outer cylinder portion 6 of the joint body 1 and the pressing surface 17 of the cap nut 3 that presses the front end surface 16 are orthogonal to the axial center. The sharp groove S can be compressed and deformed by pressing the distal end surface 16 of the outer cylinder portion 6 with the pressing surface 17 of the cap nut 3 uniformly and efficiently 360 °.
This will be described more specifically. If the tip surface 16 and the pressing surface 17 are inclined surfaces (tapered surfaces), the tip edge of the outer cylinder portion 6 is moved (in addition to the compression deformation of the sharp groove S) as the cap nut 3 is screwed. This will cause a diameter-reducing deformation that presses in the radial inward direction. In order to cause such reduced diameter deformation, an extra rotational torque must be applied to the cap nut 3, which makes it difficult to rotate the cap nut. In other words, since the distal end surface 16 and the pressing surface 17 are orthogonal to the axis L1, the rotational torque to be applied can be intensively used for compressive deformation of the sharp groove S.
 外筒部6の外径Dと継手本体1の雄ネジ2の谷径D′を均似させる。(図1,図2参照)袋ナット3を締める際、外筒部6に案内されるようになり、スムーズに締め始めることができる。 The outer diameter D 6 and the male screw of the joint body 1 2 of the outer cylindrical portion 6 of the root diameter D 6 'is Hitoshini. (Refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) When the cap nut 3 is tightened, it is guided to the outer tube portion 6 and can be tightened smoothly.
 袋ナット3の二面幅Aを、ネジの呼び径Eの 1.3倍以上2倍以下に設定する。二面幅Aがこの範囲にある場合、袋ナット3を締めて袋ナット3が外筒部6から力を受けた際、逃げることを防止できる。二面幅Aがネジの呼び径Eの 1.3倍未満の場合、袋ナット3を締めて袋ナット3が外筒部6から力を受けた際、逃げて変形し、 360°均等に鋭利溝Sの底壁部SをパイプPに食い込ませることができず、流体が漏れる虞がある。二面幅Aがネジの呼び径Eの2倍を超える場合、袋ナット3が不必要に大きくなり、コンパクト化を図れず、取扱いにくくなる。 The width A of the cap nut 3 is set to be not less than 1.3 times and not more than twice the nominal diameter E of the screw. When the width across flats A is within this range, the cap nut 3 can be prevented from escaping when the cap nut 3 is tightened and the cap nut 3 receives a force from the outer tube portion 6. If the width across flats A is less than 1.3 times the nominal diameter E of the screw, when the cap nut 3 is tightened and the cap nut 3 receives a force from the outer tube portion 6, it will escape and deform, and the sharp groove S will be evenly 360 °. can not bite into the bottom wall portion S 1 of the pipe P, there is a risk that fluid leaks. When the width A of the two surfaces exceeds twice the nominal diameter E of the screw, the cap nut 3 becomes unnecessarily large, so that it cannot be made compact and difficult to handle.
 図10~図12は、変形例を示す。すなわち、図1~図3のように、軸心方向両端に、各々、袋ナット3,外筒部6,差込溝部4等の接続機構を有するソケット型管継手以外に、エルボ型管継手(図10)、T字型管継手(図11)であっても良い。さらに、図12に示すように、ソケット型管継手のパイプ接続口18の一方を、雄ネジ付テーパ筒体19とするも良い。 10 to 12 show a modification. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, at both ends in the axial center direction, in addition to socket-type fittings having connection mechanisms such as a cap nut 3, an outer cylindrical portion 6, and an insertion groove portion 4, elbow-type fittings ( FIG. 10) and a T-shaped pipe joint (FIG. 11) may be used. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, one of the pipe connection ports 18 of the socket-type pipe joint may be a tapered cylinder 19 with a male thread.
 図13は、他の実施の形態を示す。2個の雄ネジ2を有する継手本体1と、継手本体1の各雄ネジ2に螺着される2個の袋ナット3と、を備えた管継手に於て、被接続用パイプPが差し込まれる一方の袋ナット3の内部には、引抜阻止用の圧縮変形用スリーブ15を備え、パイプPの接続(完了)状態からパイプPと圧縮変形用スリーブ15を継手本体1から取外し自在な構造とする。すなわち、接続完了状態から、パイプPと圧縮変形用スリーブ15(と袋ナット3とシール11)とを一体として、継手本体1から分離させることができる。 FIG. 13 shows another embodiment. In a pipe joint provided with a joint body 1 having two male screws 2 and two cap nuts 3 screwed to each male screw 2 of the joint body 1, a pipe P to be connected is inserted. One of the cap nuts 3 is provided with a compression deformation sleeve 15 for preventing withdrawal, and the pipe P and the compression deformation sleeve 15 can be detached from the joint body 1 from the connected (completed) state of the pipe P. To do. That is, the pipe P and the compression deformation sleeve 15 (and the cap nut 3 and the seal 11) can be integrally separated from the joint body 1 from the connection completion state.
 圧縮変形用スリーブ15が、被接続用パイプPを差込むための、アキシャル方向に開口する円筒形状の差込溝部4′を、有し、差込溝部4′は、内筒部5′と外筒部6′と奥方溝底部7′によって形成される。外筒部6′が、鋭利な三角頂部8′を奥側に有する断面5角形の鋭利溝S′を有する。その他の構成は、上述の実施の形態と同様である。 The compression deformation sleeve 15 has a cylindrical insertion groove portion 4 ′ that opens in the axial direction for inserting the pipe P to be connected, and the insertion groove portion 4 ′ has an outer cylinder portion 5 ′ and an outer cylinder portion 5 ′. It is formed by the cylinder part 6 'and the back groove bottom part 7'. The outer cylinder portion 6 'has a sharp groove S' having a pentagonal cross section having a sharp triangular apex portion 8 'on the back side. Other configurations are the same as those of the above-described embodiment.
 なお、本発明は、設計変更可能であって、例えば、外筒部6に鋭利溝Sを3つ形成するも良い。 In the present invention, the design can be changed, and for example, three sharp grooves S may be formed in the outer cylinder portion 6.
 以上のように、本発明は、雄ネジ付き継手本体1と、該継手本体1の雄ネジ2に螺着される袋ナット3と、を備えた管継手に於て、上記継手本体1が、被接続用パイプPを差込むための、アキシャル外方向に開口する円筒形状の差込溝部4を、有し、該差込溝部4は、内筒部5と外筒部6と奥方溝底部7によって形成され、上記外筒部6が、鋭利な三角頂部8を奥側に有する断面5角形の鋭利溝Sを有し、上記継手本体1の雄ネジ2と上記袋ナット3を螺着させる際に、該継手本体1と一体の上記内筒部5にてパイプ先端Pの内面Pを受持しつつ、該継手本体1と一体の上記外筒部6が上記袋ナット3からアキシャル方向の圧縮力Fを受けて、上記鋭利溝Sの底壁部Sがラジアル内方向へ塑性変形して、上記差込溝部4に挿入されているパイプPの外面P側から食い込んで抜止めするように構成したので、以下のような著大な効果を奏する。即ち、
 (i) 部品点数が少なく、製作し易く、構造がシンプルである。
 (ii) 継手本体1の軸心L1 に、当然ながら円筒形状の差込溝部4の軸心は一致し、従って、差込まれるパイプPの軸心も一致して、鋭利溝Sの底壁部S1 は、パイプ外周面P3 に対して、 360°均等に食い込み、安定した高い密封性能、及び、パイプPの耐引抜力を発揮できる。
(iii) 鋭利な三角頂部8を有する断面5角形の鋭利溝Sは、パイプ外周面P3 に鋭く(三角山型状として)食い込み、一層、密封性能が向上できると共に、一層大きい耐引抜力を発揮できる。
 (iv) 従来例の図15~図17の袋ナット42の回転トルクに比較すると、本発明の袋ナット3の回転トルクは著しく小さくて済み、鋭利溝Sが図4から図5,図6のようにスムーズに圧縮変形して、底壁部S1 が三角山状となってパイプPの外面P3 に深く確実に食い込む。つまり、図17(C)に示した如く、従来の凹周溝40はU字状として凹周溝底部47が丸味があり、ラジアル内方向への突出変形によってパイプ外周面に食い込み難いこと、及び、従来のスリーブ41の外周面が、凹周溝40の開口角部に於て、ラジアル外方向へ小さな突隆部を生じ、袋ナット42の内周面に強く圧接し、それに伴って、袋ナット42を作業工具をもって回転させる回転トルクが増加するという問題を、本発明は解決している。
 (v) また、前記 (iv) で述べたように、従来のスリーブ41(図15,図16,図17参照)の外周面が、凹周溝40の開口角部に於て、スリーブ圧縮変形の際に、ラジアル外方向に小さな突隆部を生じて、袋ナット42の内周面に強く圧接するので、作業工具による袋ナット42の回転と共に、内部のスリーブ41及びパイプ46も回転して、パイプ捩りを発生し、配管の他の部位への悪影響を生じ、かつ、テーパ状の接触面44,45相互に空転を生じて、このメタルタッチによる密封機能が破壊する虞もあった。本発明では、このような問題をも解決して、パイプPの捩れは、全く発生しない。
 (vi) 接続パイプ46が薄肉の場合、従来例では、図17(C)に示すようにパイプPがラジアル内方向へ変形48をしてしまって、簡単に「逃げ」を行うこととなり、凹周溝底部47のラジアル方向への塑性変形部による密封性を阻害し、かつ、パイプの耐引抜力も低下するという問題が残されていた。しかし、本発明では、差込溝部4の内筒部5によって、パイプ先端P1 の内面P2 を受持する構成であるので、パイプPが、薄肉の場合であっても、図3に示す如く、パイプ先端P1 の内面P2 が、ラジアル内方向へ「逃げ」を行うことを、防止できて、高い密封性を発揮でき、かつ、パイプの耐引抜力も強大である。
(vii) 従来例(図15,図16)では、テーパ状の接触面44,45が、いわゆるメタルタッチであり、流体洩れの虞のある部位であったが、本発明では、このようなメタルタッチ部位が無い構成であり、流体洩れの虞は解消できた。しかも、外筒部6自身が、袋ナット3によるアキシャル方向の圧縮力を受けて、塑性変形する構造であるので、塑性変形の最初から終了(接続完了)まで、常に安定した姿勢をもって、鋭利溝Sの底壁部S1 がラジアル内方向へ高精度に塑性変形を生じ、パイプPの外面P3 に深く食い込んで、抜止めする。しかも、内筒部5は、パイプPの内面P2 から常に受持して、上記の食い込みを一層確実とすることができる。
As described above, the present invention provides a pipe joint including a joint body 1 with a male thread and a cap nut 3 that is screwed onto the male thread 2 of the joint body 1. It has a cylindrical insertion groove 4 that opens in the axial direction for inserting the pipe P to be connected. The insertion groove 4 includes an inner cylinder 5, an outer cylinder 6, and a back groove bottom 7. When the outer cylinder portion 6 has a sharp groove S with a pentagonal cross section having a sharp triangular apex 8 on the back side, and the male screw 2 of the joint body 1 and the cap nut 3 are screwed together Further, while the inner cylinder portion 5 integral with the joint body 1 receives the inner surface P 2 of the pipe tip P 1 , the outer cylinder portion 6 integral with the joint body 1 extends in the axial direction from the cap nut 3. in response to the compressive force F, the bottom wall portion S 1 of the sharp groove S is plastically deformed in the radial inward direction, and is inserted into the insertion groove 4 And then, is retaining fit bite from an outer surface P 3 side of type P, it exhibits the Chodai effects as follows. That is,
(i) The number of parts is small, it is easy to manufacture, and the structure is simple.
(ii) The axis center of the cylindrical insertion groove portion 4 naturally coincides with the axis L 1 of the joint body 1, and therefore the axis center of the pipe P to be inserted also coincides with the bottom wall of the sharp groove S. The part S 1 can bite 360 ° uniformly with respect to the pipe outer peripheral surface P 3 , and can exhibit a stable and high sealing performance and a pull-out resistance of the pipe P.
(iii) A sharp groove S having a pentagonal cross section having a sharp triangular apex 8 bites into the pipe outer peripheral surface P 3 sharply (as a triangular mountain shape), can further improve the sealing performance, and has a greater pulling resistance. Can demonstrate.
(iv) Compared to the rotational torque of the cap nut 42 of FIGS. 15 to 17 of the conventional example, the rotational torque of the cap nut 3 of the present invention can be remarkably small, and the sharp groove S is shown in FIGS. The bottom wall portion S 1 becomes a triangular mountain shape so that it deeply and securely bites into the outer surface P 3 of the pipe P. That is, as shown in FIG. 17C, the conventional concave circumferential groove 40 has a U shape and the concave circumferential groove bottom 47 is round, and it is difficult to bite into the outer circumferential surface of the pipe due to the projecting deformation in the radial inward direction. The outer peripheral surface of the conventional sleeve 41 has a small protruding portion radially outward at the opening corner portion of the concave circumferential groove 40, and is strongly pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cap nut 42. The present invention solves the problem that the rotational torque for rotating the nut 42 with the work tool increases.
(v) Further, as described in (iv) above, the outer peripheral surface of the conventional sleeve 41 (see FIGS. 15, 16, and 17) is the sleeve compression deformation at the opening corner of the concave circumferential groove 40. At this time, a small protruding portion is generated in the radially outward direction, and is strongly pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cap nut 42, so that the inner sleeve 41 and the pipe 46 also rotate with the rotation of the cap nut 42 by the work tool. Further, the twisting of the pipe may occur, adversely affecting other parts of the piping, and the tapered contact surfaces 44 and 45 may slip each other, thereby destroying the sealing function by the metal touch. In the present invention, such a problem is solved, and the twist of the pipe P does not occur at all.
(vi) When the connecting pipe 46 is thin, in the conventional example, the pipe P is deformed 48 radially inward as shown in FIG. There remains a problem that the sealing performance by the plastic deformation portion in the radial direction of the circumferential groove bottom portion 47 is hindered and the pull-out resistance of the pipe is also reduced. However, in the present invention, the inner cylindrical portion 5 of the insertion groove portion 4 is configured to receive the inner surface P 2 of the pipe tip P 1 , so that even if the pipe P is thin, it is shown in FIG. As described above, it is possible to prevent the inner surface P 2 of the pipe tip P 1 from “escape” in the radial inward direction, exhibit high sealing performance, and have a strong pull-out force of the pipe.
(vii) In the conventional example (FIGS. 15 and 16), the tapered contact surfaces 44 and 45 are so-called metal touches, and there is a possibility of fluid leakage. Since there is no touch site, the risk of fluid leakage could be eliminated. In addition, since the outer cylinder portion 6 itself has a structure that undergoes plastic deformation under the axial compression force of the cap nut 3, it has a stable posture from the beginning to the end of the plastic deformation (completion of connection). The bottom wall portion S 1 of S undergoes plastic deformation with high accuracy in the radial inward direction, and deeply bites into the outer surface P 3 of the pipe P to prevent it from being removed. Moreover, the inner cylinder section 5 always responsible from the inner surface P 2 of the pipe P, the above bite to be a more reliable.
