Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an anchor installation assist device for installing an anchor, an anchor installation device having the anchor installation assist device, and an anchor installation method using the anchor installation device. [Background technology]
[0002] An anchor is an anchor that is expanded in diameter to engage and fix in a hole drilled in a base material, and components such as bolts and hooks can be attached to the anchor body. Such anchors can be attached to metal components as well as concrete components, and various components can be attached to the female threads provided on the anchor.
[0003] Methods for attaching an anchor to a base material include, for example, drilling a hole in the base material and pouring adhesive into the hole to secure the anchor, or expanding the anchor body within the hole and securing the anchor by engaging the hole with the expanded anchor body, or a combination of these.
[0004] Among these, those in which the anchor body expands within a hole and the hole engages with the expanded part to secure the anchor have a built-in core material that serves as a core for expanding the anchor body, and the anchor body expands when the core material is driven in.
[0005] In the conventional method of fixing an anchor, a driving rod is used to drive in the core material, and the driving rod is struck with a hammer to push in the core material and expand the diameter of the anchor body in the anchor. However, the impact of the hammer striking the anchor can damage the base material to which the anchor is to be attached. This is especially true when the base material is an aged manhole frame.
[0006] Therefore, for example, in the anchor driving machine disclosed in the non-patent literature, a hydraulically driven piston gradually pushes in the core material to expand the diameter of the anchor body, thereby fixing the anchor. Therefore, the risk of damaging the base material due to impact is reduced.
[0007] However, the anchor driving machine is relatively expensive, which makes people hesitate to purchase it, and therefore, in order to popularize it, there is a demand for a cheaper device. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0017] Before describing the anchor installation assist device 10 in the first embodiment with reference to the illustrated embodiment, the anchor 300 will be described first. The anchor 300 has a cylindrical anchor body 310 and a locking portion 340 whose diameter can be expanded from a tip portion 320 to an intermediate portion 330 of the anchor body 310. The locking portion 340 has a plurality of slits 350 which are cuts, and the plurality of slits 350 are arranged to extend in the longitudinal direction from the tip portion 320 to the intermediate portion 330 of the anchor body 310. The inside of the locking portion 340 is tapered so that the inner diameter gradually decreases from an intermediate portion inner diameter 330A to a tip portion inner diameter 320A from the intermediate portion 330 to the tip portion 320.
[0018] The inside of the rear end 360 of the anchor 300 has an anchor female thread portion 370, which is a female thread, and can be used to attach the anchor installation auxiliary device 10. Furthermore, the female thread portion 370 can be used to attach bolts and hooks (not shown).
[0019] The anchor 300 has a columnar core 400 disposed inside the anchor body 310. The core 400 is preferably approximately half the length of the anchor body 310, and when the core 400 is pressed toward the tip 320, the inside of the locking portion 340 is configured so that the inner diameter gradually decreases from the middle portion 330 to the tip 320. The core 400, which is pressed and moved, expands the multiple slits 350, thereby expanding the diameter of the locking portion 340 disposed from the tip 320 to the middle portion 330 of the anchor body 310. The expanded locking portion 340 engages with the hole H to be attached, thereby fixing the anchor 300 to the hole H. This will be described later.
[0020] The anchor installation auxiliary device 10 in the first embodiment is attached to the above-mentioned anchor 300 and is used to press the core material 400 with the bolt 200 described below. The anchor installation auxiliary device 10 also functions as an adapter, so to speak, for attaching the bolt 200. The anchor installation auxiliary device 10 has a shaft portion 20 and a head portion 50, and has an external appearance substantially similar to the shape of a bolt.
[0021] The shank 20 of the anchor installation assist device 10 has on its exterior a male screw portion 30 which is a male screw that screws into the anchor female screw portion 370. Also, the interior of the shank 20 has a female screw portion 40 which is a female screw. That is, the shank 20 has the male screw portion 30 on its exterior and the female screw portion 40 on its interior, and is substantially cylindrical. The female screw portion 40 screws into the bolt male screw portion 222 of the bolt 200 described below.
[0022] Moreover, the head 50 is preferably hexagonal in plan view, and can be engaged with a wrench or spanner (not shown), enabling so-called screw turning. The female screw portion 40 is arranged so as to penetrate the inside of the shaft portion 20 and the head 50. In other words, the female screw portion 40 is arranged so as to communicate with the inside of the shaft portion 20 and the head 50. Therefore, the female screw portion 40 is configured to open so that the center of the female screw portion 40 is located at the center of the head 50 in plan view. Moreover, the head 50 is not limited to being hexagonal in plan view.
[0023] Next, the anchor installation device 100 will be described. The anchor installation device 100 has the above-mentioned anchor installation auxiliary device 10 and a bolt 200. The bolt 200 has a bolt shank 220 which serves as the shaft and a bolt head 250 which serves as the head. The length of the bolt shank 220 is preferably a length required to press the core material 400 built into the anchor 300, and is preferably 5 centimeters, for example.
[0024] Furthermore, bolt shank 220 has bolt male screw portion 222, which is a male screw, on its exterior. Bolt male screw portion 222 can be screwed into female screw portion 40. Furthermore, bolt head 250 preferably has a hexagonal shape in a plan view, and can be engaged with a wrench or spanner (not shown), enabling so-called screw turning.
[0025] Furthermore, the anchor installation device 100 may have a washer 280. The washer 280 has an opening 285 that opens for inserting the bolt shank 220. The outer shape of the washer 280 and the opening 285 are preferably circular in plan view.
[0026] The anchor installation device 100 can be constructed by screwing the bolt shank 220 of the bolt 200 configured as described above into the female screw portion 40 of the anchor installation auxiliary device 10. Note that it is also preferable to construct the anchor installation device 100 by screwing the bolt shank 220 into the female screw portion 40 of the anchor installation auxiliary device 10 via a washer 280.
[0027] Next, a method for attaching the anchor 300 to the base material 600 will be described. A hole forming process for drilling a hole H in the base material will be described. First, a hole H is drilled in the base material 600 with a drill P. Debris 601 accumulated in the hole H is sucked up with a suction device V. Next, the hole H is cleaned with a brush B, and the powdered base material 602 accumulated in the hole H is sucked up again. Thereafter, an adhesive K is applied to the hole H.
[0028] Next, a description will be given of a method for attaching an anchor using the anchor attachment device 100. The anchor 300 is placed in the hole H to which the adhesive K has been applied (anchor placing process). Since some time is required for the adhesive K to harden, it cannot be said that the anchor 300 is securely fixed to the base material 600 in this state.
[0029] Next, the anchor attachment device 100 is attached to the anchor 300. In other words, the anchor 300 is placed in the hole H, and the anchor attachment device 100 is attached to the anchor 300.
[0030] That is, the shaft portion 20 of the anchor attachment auxiliary device 10 of the anchor attachment device 100 is attached so as to screw into the female screw portion 370 of the anchor (anchor attachment device placement process). As described above, the shaft portion 20 has a male screw portion 30 on the outside, and the male screw portion 30 screws into the female screw portion 370 of the anchor. In this case, the bolt 200 is attached to the anchor attachment auxiliary device 10 together with the washer 280 in advance. The bolt 200 can also be attached to the anchor attachment auxiliary device 10 via the washer 280. The anchor 300 to which the anchor attachment device 100 has been attached in advance can also be placed in the hole H.
[0031] Next, the bolt head 250 of the bolt 200 is rotated by a wrench (not shown). This causes the bolt 200 to enter the female screw portion 40. The entered bolt 200 presses the core material 400 of the anchor 300. The pressed core material 400 gradually descends accordingly, widening the multiple slits 350, and the locking portion 340 arranged from the tip portion 320 to the middle portion 330 of the anchor body 310 is expanded in diameter. This causes the hole H of the base material 600 to engage with the locking portion 340 (anchor engagement process). This results in the anchor 300 being attached to the hole H. Thereafter, when the adhesive K solidifies, the anchor 300 is fixed to the hole H. Thereafter, the anchor installation device 100 is removed from the anchor 300.
[0032] In this manner, the bolt 200 is attached via the anchor attachment auxiliary device 10, and the bolt 200 presses the core material 400. This gradually expands the diameter of the engaging portion 340, thereby minimizing the impact on the base material 600 as much as possible, thereby preventing damage to the base material 600. Furthermore, the anchor attachment auxiliary device 10 configured as described above is relatively inexpensive, and the anchor attachment device 100 having the bolt 200 can likewise be constructed relatively inexpensively.
