[0032] <Present embodiment>

[0033] Below, through Figures 1 to 9 The repair joint device according to this embodiment will be described.

[0034] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the repair joint device 10 of this embodiment includes multiple, for example, two split shells 11, 11, which cover from the outer periphery a cylindrical leakage pipe (first piping) 1 having an axis passing through the center and a cylindrical leakage pipe (second piping) 2 having an axis passing through the center.

[0035] The two split cases 11 , 11 are divided into two in the circumferential direction and are joined to each other by welding via a joining surface 13 .

[0036] The upper split shell 11 constitutes the upper half of the repair joint device 10 , and the lower split shell 11 constitutes the lower half of the repair joint device 10 .

[0037] Further, if Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, each split shell 11 includes: a semi-cylindrical split sleeve 11A covering the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 from the outer periphery, an end plate 21 provided at one end of the split sleeve 11A on the first pipe 1 side along the axial direction, and an end plate 21 provided at the other end on the second pipe 2 side.

[0038] It should be noted that the repair joint device 10 is primarily intended to address leakage of liquid from the joint surface 3 between the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, but it can also address leakage caused by damage to either the first pipe 1 or the second pipe 2. In this case, the repair joint device 10 is provided to cover the outer periphery of the damaged first pipe 1 or the second pipe 2.

[0039] As described above, a pair of end plates 21, 21 are provided at both axial ends of the split sleeve 11A of each split housing 11. Furthermore, a seal-receiving protrusion 22 is provided on the axial outer surface of each end plate 21, 21, forming a seal-receiving space 35 between the seal-receiving protrusion 22 and the corresponding first pipe 1 or second pipe 2. The seal-receiving protrusion 22 extends circumferentially along the axial outer surface of each end plate 21, 21, and a seal ring 30, described later, is inserted into the seal-receiving space 35.

[0040] However, each seal-receiving protrusion 22 does not extend to the joint surface 13 between the split housings 11. Instead, protrusion-free regions 23, 23 are formed between the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of one split housing 11 and the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of the other split housing 11 in a pair of adjacent split housings 11. The protrusion-free regions 23, 23 formed between the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of one split housing 11 and the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of the other split housing 11 are formed by the protrusion-free region 23 of one split housing 11 and the protrusion-free region 23 of the other split housing 11.

[0041] By providing the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 between the seal receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the split shells 11, 11, when the split shells 11, 11 are welded via the joint surface 13 as described later, the welding work in the split shells 11, 11, especially in the end plates 21, 21, and the work of removing the weld excess height after welding can be facilitated.

[0042] For example, if the end plates 21, 21 of the split housings 11, 11 are not provided with the non-protrusion areas 23, 23, and the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 are provided all the way to the joint surface 13, that is, the ends of the end plates 21, 21, welding the end plates 21, 21 becomes cumbersome and removing the weld bead becomes difficult. However, according to this embodiment, by providing the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 between the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the split housings 11, 11, welding the end plates 21, 21 and removing the weld bead after welding can be facilitated.

[0043] In this way, in the protrusion-free areas 23, 23 formed between the seal storage protrusions 22, 22 of the split shells 11, 11, an auxiliary protrusion device 25 is detachably assembled as described later, and an additional seal storage space 36 is formed between the auxiliary protrusion device 25 and the corresponding first piping 1 or second piping 2.

[0044] The auxiliary protrusion assembly 25 includes an auxiliary protrusion 26 that fits within the non-protrusion region 23, 23 formed between the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the split housings 11, 11, and an auxiliary fixing member 27 that holds the auxiliary protrusion 26. In this case, the auxiliary protrusion 26 of the auxiliary protrusion assembly 25 forms an additional seal-receiving space 36 between the auxiliary protrusion 26 and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. Furthermore, the auxiliary fixing member 27 is fixedly attached to the auxiliary protrusion 26 by a mounting bolt 28. Furthermore, the auxiliary protrusion assembly 25 thus constructed is attached to the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of each split housing 11, 11 by a mounting bolt 29 that extends through the auxiliary fixing member 27.

[0045] In this case, the mounting bolts 29 extending through the auxiliary fixing member 27 of the auxiliary protrusion device 25 are inserted into the openings 22b formed on the radial outer surface of the seal receiving protrusions 22 provided on the split housings 11, 11 (see FIG. Figure 7 ).

[0046] In addition, Figures 5 to 8 In the embodiment, openings 22 a are also formed in the outer surfaces in the axial direction of the seal housing protrusions 22 , 22 provided on the respective split housings 11 , 11 .

[0047] As described above, by providing the seal receiving protrusions 22, 22 on the split shells 11, 11, a seal receiving space 35 is formed between it and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. In addition, by providing the auxiliary protrusion device 25, an additional seal receiving space 36 is formed between it and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. Sealing rings 30 are installed in these seal receiving spaces 35 and the additional seal receiving space 36.

[0048] Next, the seal ring 30 mounted in the seal housing space 35 and the additional seal housing space 36 will be described. The seal ring 30 is made of elastic rubber and includes a pair of wedge-shaped, divided seal rings 31 and 32. The divided seal rings 31 and 32 contact each other via an inclined contact surface 30a.

[0049] The sealing ring 30 is assembled in the seal receiving space 35 and the additional seal receiving space 36. The seal pressing ring metal member 24 is inserted into the seal receiving space 35, and the bolt 38 is passed through the seal pressing ring metal member 24 via the bolt hole bored in the seal pressing ring metal member 24. Next, the bolt 38 is inserted and tightened into the opening 22a provided on the axial outer surface of the seal receiving protrusion 22. At this time, the split sealing rings 31 and 32 are compressed in the axial direction by the seal pressing ring metal member 24. The split sealing rings 31 and 32 also move in the radial direction via the inclined contact surface 30a, thereby forming the sealing ring 30. The sealing ring 30 abuts against the end plate 21, the seal receiving protrusion 22, the auxiliary protrusion 26 of the auxiliary protrusion device 25, and the corresponding first pipe 1 or second pipe 2.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the inclination angle (wedge angle) of the contact surface 30 a between the divided seal rings 31 and 32 is set to, for example, 45°.

[0051] In this embodiment, the repair joint device 10 seals liquid leaking from the joint surface 3 between the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 to be repaired within the repair joint device 10. An air inlet and outlet 47 is provided at the upper end of the repair joint device 10, and a drain port 48 is provided at the lower end. However, these ports are blocked during construction, and the interior of the repair joint device 10 is sealed after the repair.

[0052] The sealing ring 30 will be described in more detail below. Figure 9A cross-sectional view of the seal portion of the split seal rings 31 and 32 that comprise the seal ring 30 is shown during assembly, with no axial pressure applied. Lip-forming grooves 31a and 31b are formed on the axial inner surface and contact surface 30a of one of the opposing wedge-shaped split seal rings 31 and 32, respectively. A lip-forming groove 32a is provided on the bottom surface of the other split seal ring 32. The height of the seal ring 30 is H. When a tightening force is applied axially, the split seal rings 31 and 32 are compressed axially and expanded radially outward, sealing the upper and lower sealing surfaces of the seal receiving space 35 and the additional seal receiving space 36. When a tightening force is applied axially to the opposing contact surfaces 30a, the wedge-shaped contact surfaces 30a are compressed axially and slide radially against each other, increasing the height of the seal ring 30 and, in turn, the sealing pressure. The wedge angle α of the seal ring 30 is approximately 45°. By compressing the seal ring 30 in the axial direction, the seal ring 30 can press the end plate 21 of the divided housings 11, 11 with greater force. Furthermore, by compressing the seal ring 30 in the axial direction, the seal ring 30 presses the seal-receiving protrusion 22 and the auxiliary protrusion 26 of the auxiliary protrusion device 25, and the corresponding first pipe 1 or second pipe 2. As a result, the seal ring 30 can reliably seal the interior of the repair joint device 10.

[0053] Next, through Figures 3 to 9 A method for assembling the repair joint device having such a structure will be described.

[0054] First, if Figure 3 As shown, a pair of split housings 11 are prepared. Each split housing 11 includes a split sleeve 11A that covers the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 from its outer periphery; a pair of end plates 21, 21, provided at both axial ends of the split sleeve 11A; and a seal-receiving protrusion 22 provided on the axial outer surface of each end plate 21, forming a seal-receiving space 35 between the seal-receiving protrusion 22 and the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2. In this case, in each split housing 11, the seal-receiving protrusion 22 does not extend to the joint surface 13 of the split housing 11.

[0055] Next, if Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a pair of split housings 11 are arranged around the outer peripheries of the first and second pipes. In this case, in the adjacent pair of split housings 11, projection-free regions 23, 23 are formed between the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of one split housing 11 and the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of the other split housing 11. The projection-free regions 23, 23 formed between the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of one split housing 11 and the seal-receiving protrusion 22 of the other split housing 11 are formed by the projection-free regions 23 of one split housing 11 and the projection-free regions 23 of the other split housing 11.

[0056] Next, the pair of split housings 11 are joined via the joint surfaces 13 by welding. A weld bead 13a is formed along the joint surfaces 13 of the pair of split housings 11 and on the outside of the joint surfaces 13. In this case, since the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 are formed between the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the split housings 11, 11, welding can be performed more easily in the split housings 11, 11, particularly near the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the end plates 21, 21, compared to a case where the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 are provided on the joint surfaces 13.

[0057] Next, the pair of split shells 11, 11 joined by welding via the joint surface 13 are subjected to a grinding wheel 40 to remove the weld excess 13a remaining along the joint surface 13 (see FIG. Figure 6 ).

[0058] In this case, the weld reinforcement 13a remaining on the joint surface 13 of the pair of split housings 11, 11 is removed using a grinder 40, at least in the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 of the end plate 21 and the portion corresponding to the additional seal accommodation space 36. In this case, since the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 are formed between the seal accommodation projections 22, 22 of the split housings 11, 11, the weld reinforcement 13a on the joint surface 13 can be easily removed using the grinder 40, particularly in the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 between the seal accommodation projections 22, 22 of the end plate 21 and the portion corresponding to the additional seal accommodation space 36.

[0059] In this manner, the weld bead 13a remaining in the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 between the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the end plate 21, as well as the weld bead 13a remaining in the portion corresponding to the additional seal-receiving space 36, can be reliably removed using the grinder 40. This smoothes the end plate 21 where the auxiliary protrusion 25 abuts, and the end plate 21 where the seal ring 30 abuts within the additional seal-receiving space 36. This improves the adhesion between the end plate 21 and the auxiliary protrusion 25, and between the end plate 21 and the seal ring 30. Furthermore, the use of the seal ring 30 can improve the sealing performance of the repair joint device 10.

[0060] The grinder 40 has a shape such that the working portion 40 a thereof can be inserted into the non-protrusion regions 23 , 23 between the seal-accommodating protrusions 22 , 22 .

[0061] Then, if Figure 7As shown, an auxiliary protrusion device 25 is mounted in the non-protrusion area 23, 23 between the seal receiving protrusions 22, 22, and an additional seal receiving space 36 is formed between the auxiliary protrusion device 25 and the first and second pipes 2. In this case, the additional seal receiving space 36 is formed between the auxiliary protrusion 26 of the auxiliary protrusion device 25 and the first and second pipes 1, 2.

[0062] Next, a mounting bolt 29 is provided through the auxiliary fixing member 27 of the auxiliary protrusion device 25. By inserting the mounting bolt 29 into the opening 22b of the seal receiving protrusion 22, 22, the auxiliary protrusion device 25 is fixed in the pair of split housings 11, 11 (see Figure 8 ).

[0063] Next, if Figure 9 As shown, the seal ring 30 is embedded in the seal housing space 35 and the additional seal housing space 36 of the pair of split housings 11, 11. The seal holding ring 24 that holds the seal ring 30 is then mounted on the seal housing protrusion 22, and a bolt 38 is installed through the seal holding ring 24. The bolt 38 is then inserted into the opening 22a of the seal housing protrusion 22. By tightening the bolt 38, the seal holding ring 24 can press the seal ring 30 along the axial direction.

[0064] Furthermore, by pressing the seal ring 30 in the axial direction, the seal ring 30 can be pressed against the end plate 21 , the seal receiving protrusion 22 , the auxiliary protrusion device 25 , the first pipe 1 , and the second pipe 2 , thereby sealing the interior of the repair joint device 10 .

[0065] As described above, according to this embodiment, the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the pair of split housings 11, 11 do not reach the joint surface 13, and a non-protrusion region 23, 23 is formed between the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the pair of split housings 11, 11. Therefore, compared to a case where the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the pair of split housings 11, 11 reach the joint surface 13, welding along the joint surface 13 can be performed easily and with high precision in the split housings 11, 11, particularly in the end plate 21 near the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22. Furthermore, after welding, the weld bead 13a remaining along the joint surface 13, particularly in the end plate 21 near the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22, can be easily removed.

[0066] Furthermore, the weld bead 13a remaining in the non-protrusion areas 23, 23 formed between the seal-receiving protrusions 22, 22 of the pair of split housings 11, 11 and in the portion corresponding to the additional seal-receiving space 36 can be removed and smoothed using a grinder 40. This allows the auxiliary protrusion device 25 to be mounted in close contact with the end plate 21 corresponding to the non-protrusion areas 23, 23, and the seal ring 30 in the additional seal-receiving space 36 to be reliably in close contact with the end plate 21, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the repair joint device 10 using the seal ring 30.
