Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wiring fixture that is attached to a protective tube through which wiring is inserted and includes a fixture main body for fixing the wiring inside the protective tube, a wiring fixing method, and a wiring theft prevention method. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a solar power generation facility is equipped with multiple solar panels and a collector box that collects electricity generated by the solar panels. The conductive wiring (electric wires or cables) connecting the solar panels to the collector box is inserted into a protective pipe buried underground within the facility, one end of the protective pipe is led out to the ground and one end of the wiring is connected to the solar panel, and the other end of the protective pipe is also led out to the ground and the other end of the wiring is connected to the collector box.

[0003] As an example of the above-described protective pipe, through which wiring is inserted and which is buried underground, the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 below is known.

[0004] In such solar power generation facilities, the recent rise in copper prices has led to frequent theft of wiring containing copper conductors. However, this has become a problem as managers of solar power generation facilities suffer economic losses due to theft of wiring, as well as the loss of the wiring itself, and are forced to make capital investments to prevent theft, such as installing surveillance cameras.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-240082 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Incidentally, wire theft can be carried out by cutting the wire at the point where it is led above ground and connected to the solar panel or collector box, and at the handhole (manhole) provided in the middle of the protective pipe for inspecting the wire, and then pulling out the wire on the ground. However, the technology in Patent Document 1 does not have a structure to prevent the wire from being pulled out.

[0007] Therefore, there has been a demand for a means for preventing the theft of wires by preventing the above-mentioned pulling out of wires, thereby delaying the theft of wires and causing those attempting to steal wires to give up on the theft, thereby ultimately preventing the theft of wires.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wiring fixture, a wiring fixing method, and a wiring theft prevention method that delay wiring theft and enable wiring theft prevention. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] (1) The present invention provides a wiring fixture that is attached to a cylindrical protective tube through which wiring is inserted, and that includes a fixture main body for fixing the wiring inside the protective tube, wherein the protective tube has a cutout portion formed at a desired location on its outer surface, and the cutout portion is formed by cutting out a portion of the outer surface in the circumferential direction of the protective tube and cutting out a desired range of the outer surface in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube, or by cutting out the entire outer surface at least in the circumferential direction of the protective tube, and the fixture main body is formed so as to be able to cover the cutout portion, and includes engaging means that can engage with a binding member that binds the wiring.

[0010] (2) Also, in the present invention, there is provided a wiring fixing method for fixing wiring inside a protective tube by attaching a fixing device main body to the protective tube, which is formed in a cylindrical shape and has wiring inserted therein, wherein a cut-out portion is formed by cutting away a part of the outer surface of the protective tube in the circumferential direction and a desired range of the outer surface in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube, or by cutting away at least the entire outer surface in the circumferential direction of the protective tube, and a binding member for binding the wiring is engaged with an engaging means provided on the fixing device main body, and the cut-out portion is covered with the fixing device main body.

[0011] According to the present invention as described above in (1) and (2), the fixing device main body is formed so as to be attachable to the protective tube so as to cover the cutout portion, and is provided with an engaging means capable of engaging a binding member that binds the wires, so that the binding member that binds the wires engages with the engaging means, thereby fixing the wires to the fixing device main body. As a result, even if someone who intends to steal the wires tries to pull them out, it is difficult to do so because the fixing device main body is attached to the protective tube and the wires are fixed to the fixing device main body.

[0012] (3) In addition, in the present invention, a wiring fixture is attached to a tubular member such as an FEP pipe, and the solar cable or other wiring inserted into the tubular member is fixed in a state in which it is difficult to insert or remove by engaging the wiring fixture with the wiring fixture.

[0013] According to the present invention as described in (3) above, a wiring fixture is attached to a tubular member such as an FEP pipe, and solar cables and other wiring inserted into the tubular member are engaged with the wiring fixture, thereby fixing the wiring in a state that makes it difficult to insert or remove it, making it difficult to steal the wiring by inserting or removing it. [Effects of the Invention]

[0014] According to the present invention, it is possible to delay the theft of wiring and to prevent the theft of wiring. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0016] Hereinafter, wiring fixtures according to first to fourth embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0017] Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0018] <Location of wiring fixtures> 1 , a wiring fixture 11 according to this embodiment is employed in a protective pipe 5 buried underground 100 in, for example, a solar power generation facility 1. The solar power generation facility 1, cited as an example of a facility in which the wiring fixture 11 is employed, includes a plurality of solar panels 2 and a current collection box 3 that collects electricity generated by the solar panels 2. Conductive wiring 4 connecting the solar panels 2 to the current collection box 3 is inserted into a protective pipe 5 buried underground 100 within the facility 1. One end of the protective pipe 5 is led out above ground, and one end of the wiring 4 is connected to the solar panel 2. The other end of the protective pipe 5 is also led out above ground, and the other end of the wiring 4 is connected to the current collection box 3. A handhole 6 for inspecting the wiring 4 is provided in the middle of the protective pipe 5 (reference numeral 6 a denotes a cover for the handhole 6).

[0019] <About wiring> In this specification, "wiring" refers to an electric wire or a cable. Here, an electric wire is an insulated core wire comprising a conductor and an insulating coating formed around the conductor, and a cable is a wire comprising at least one insulated core wire comprising a conductor and an insulating coating formed around the conductor, and further comprising a sheath formed around the insulating coating. Each of the conductors is made of, for example, copper.

[0020] Examples of the wiring 4 in this embodiment include solar cables and other wiring used for wiring the solar panels 2 in the solar power generation facility 1.

[0021] <About the protective tube> 2 and 3 is a corrugated tube made of resin, with recesses 8 and protrusions 9 formed on the outer surface 7, and has cutouts 10 formed at desired locations on the outer surface 7. The cutouts 10 are formed by cutting out a portion of the outer surface 7 in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5, and by cutting out a desired range of the outer surface 7 in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5.

[0022] The protective tube 5 can be called a “tubular member.” An example of a tubular member is an FEP (Flexible Electric Pipe) pipe (also called a “corrugated rigid polyethylene pipe”).

[0023] Furthermore, the cutout portion 10 can be rephrased as an “opening portion.” It can be said that the opening portion (cutout portion 10) is formed by cutting out a part of the tubular member (protective tube 5) in the circumferential direction.

[0024] <Overall configuration of the wiring fixture according to the first embodiment> 2 and 3 is attached to a protective tube 5 and includes a fixture body 12 for fixing a plurality of wires 4 inside the protective tube 5, and engaging means 14 that can engage with a bundling member 13 that bundles the plurality of wires 4. Each component of the wiring fixture 11 according to this embodiment will be described below.

[0025] <About the fixture itself> The fixing device main body 12 is a member formed in the shape of a lid that can cover the cutout portion 10, and has a flat portion 15 formed in a planar shape, abutment portions 16 formed at both ends of the flat portion 15 in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5 when it covers the cutout portion 10, and extension portions 17 extending from both ends of the flat portion 15 in the width direction of the protective tube 5 when it covers the cutout portion 10.

[0026] The flat portion 15 has an outer surface 18 formed with an insertion hole 19 (described later) and an engagement visual inspection hole 20 through which the engagement state between the binding member 13 binding the wiring 4 and the engagement means 14 can be visually inspected.

[0027] The abutment portion 16 is formed so that it is continuous with both ends of the flat portion 15 in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5 when covering the cutout portion 10, and stands upward so as to be approximately perpendicular to the flat portion 15, so as to be able to abut against the peripheral edge 10a of the cutout portion 10.

[0028] The extension portion 17 is continuous with both ends of the flat portion 15 in the width direction of the protective tube 5 while covering the cut-out portion 10, and extends so as to gradually slope downward, so that it can abut against the outer surface 7 of the protective tube 5 when the fixing device main body 12 tries to shift in the width direction of the protective tube 5.

[0029] <About the binding material> In this specification, examples of the "binding member" include a metal hose band and a binding band, but other members may also be used as long as they are capable of binding multiple wires 4 together.

[0030] <Regarding the engagement means> The engaging means 14 is configured to be detachably attached to the fixing device main body 12, and specifically includes an insertion hole 19 formed on the outer surface 18 of the flat portion 15 of the fixing device main body 12, an engaging member 21 that can be inserted into the insertion hole 19, and a fixing member 22 that can fix the engaging member 21 and the fixing device main body 12.

[0031] The engaging member 21 has an engaging portion 23 at one end in the longitudinal direction that can engage with the binding member 13, and is a component that can position the engaging portion 23 inside the protective tube 5 when inserted into the insertion hole 19. Specifically, the engaging member 21 is a so-called eye bolt, and the engaging portion 23 is formed in an annular shape (in this embodiment, an annular shape) that can be inserted into the insertion hole 19, and has a bolt portion 24 that is formed in a rod shape and is continuous with the engaging portion 23.

[0032] Fixing member 22 is formed as a nut that can be fastened to bolt portion 24 on outer surface 18 side of flat portion 15 of fixing device main body 12, but as will be described later, other members (for example, fixing member 28 shown in Figures 4 and 5) may be used as long as they can fix engaging member 21 and fixing device main body 12. Note that reference numeral 25 denotes a washer.

[0033] <About protection measures> A protective means (not shown) is provided on the outer surface 7 of the protective tube 5 at a location where the cutout portion 10 is covered by the fixing device main body 12. In this specification, the "protective means" is a member that can prevent at least one of water from entering the protective tube 5 and foreign matter from entering the protective tube 5. An example of the protective means is a tape (e.g., adhesive tape) that has at least one of waterproofing and dustproofing properties.

[0034] In addition, the above phrase "enables at least one of" means "enables either preventing water from entering the protective tube 5 or preventing foreign matter from entering," as well as "enables both preventing water from entering the protective tube 5 and preventing foreign matter from entering."

[0035] When the above-mentioned tape is used as the protective means, the protective means is provided by wrapping the tape circumferentially around protective tube 5 at the location where fixing device main body 12 covers cutout portion 10. In this case, it is more effective to wrap the tape so as to eliminate any gap between fixing device main body 12 and cutout portion 10 in order to ensure waterproofing and dustproofing performance.

[0036] <Modification of the First Embodiment> Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described. The wiring fixture according to the present invention may employ the following modified examples of embodiment 1. The modified examples of embodiment 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

[0037] The wiring fixture 26 according to the modified example shown in Figures 4 and 5 is identical in configuration and structure to the wiring fixture 11 according to embodiment 1, except that it includes a fixing member 28 as engagement means 27 instead of the fixing member (nut) 22 (see Figures 2 and 3) in embodiment 1.

[0038] Fixing member 28 is a rod-shaped member that is formed in a rod shape on the outer surface 18 side of flat portion 15 of fixing device main body 12 so that it can be inserted into engaging portion 23 when engaging portion 23 of engaging member 21 is inserted into insertion hole 19, and as described above, by inserting rod-shaped fixing member 28 into engaging portion 23, engaging member 21 and fixing device main body 12 can be fixed together just like a latch (see Figure 5).

[0039] <Method for fixing a wire using the wire fixing tool according to the first embodiment> Next, a wire fixing method using the wire fixing tool 11 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0040] The above-mentioned wiring fixing method includes a wiring fixing method in which a wiring fixture 11 is attached to a protective pipe 5 that is buried underground (hereinafter in this specification, this will be referred to as a "wiring fixing method for an existing buried protective pipe"), and a wiring fixing method in which a wiring fixture 11 is attached to a protective pipe 5 that is to be newly buried underground (hereinafter in this specification, this will be referred to as a "wiring fixing method for a new buried protective pipe").

[0041] <Method of fixing wiring in existing buried protective pipes> First, a method for fixing wiring to an existing buried protective pipe will be described. First, the protective pipe 5, which has already been buried underground 100 (see Figure 1), is excavated and exposed, and a portion of the outer surface 7 is removed in the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5, as well as a desired range of the outer surface 7 in the longitudinal direction of the protective pipe 5, thereby providing the removed portion 10.

[0042] After forming cutout portion 10, with multiple wires 4 inside protective tube 5 bundled with bundling member 13, bundling member 13 is engaged with engaging portion 23 of engaging member 21. Thereafter, bolt portion 24 of engaging member 21 in the above state is inserted into insertion hole 19 (bolt portion 24 is inserted into insertion hole 19 from the inner surface side of flat portion 15 of fixing device main body 12 toward outer surface 18).

[0043] Thereafter, the cutout portion 10 is covered with the fixing tool body 12, and a fixing member (nut) 22 is fastened to the bolt portion 24 from the outer surface 18 side of the flat portion 15, thereby fixing the fixing tool body 12 and the engaging member 21 together.

[0044] In addition, in the case where wiring fixture 26 according to the modified example of this embodiment is used instead of wiring fixture 11 according to this embodiment, the wiring fixing method employs fixing member 28 (rod-shaped member) instead of fixing member (nut) 22, and with engaging portion 23 of engaging member 21 inserted into insertion hole 19, flat portion 15 of fixing device main body 12 is inserted into engaging portion 23 on the outer surface 18 side, thereby fixing fixing device main body 12 and engaging member 21 together.

[0045] Thereafter, at the location where the cutout portion 10 is covered with the fixing device main body 12, a tape (fusible tape) is wrapped around the protective tube 5 as a protective means, thereby eliminating the gap between the fixing device main body 12 and the cutout portion 10 and achieving watertightness and dustproofness.

[0046] After wrapping the tape, the protective pipe 5 is buried again in the ground 100. This completes the process of fixing the wiring 4 in the protective pipe 5 buried in the ground 100 using the wiring fixing devices 11, 26.

[0047] <How to fix the wiring in a new buried protective pipe> Next, a method for fixing the wiring to the new buried protective pipe will be described. First, a portion of the outer surface 7 is cut away in the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5 to be newly buried underground 100, and a desired range of the outer surface 7 is cut away in the longitudinal direction of the protective pipe 5, thereby forming a cutout portion 10, and the wiring fixture 11 or wiring fixture 26 is attached to the location where the cutout portion 10 was formed. The procedure for fixing the wiring 4 with the wiring fixtures 11, 26 and attaching them to the protective pipe 5 is the same as the procedure for attaching the wiring fixtures 11, 26 in the "method for fixing wiring in an existing buried protective pipe" explained above.

[0048] Thereafter, the buried location of the protective pipe 5 is excavated and exposed, and the protective pipe 5 is buried. This completes the work of fixing the wiring 4 inside the protective pipe 5 that is newly buried underground 100 using the wiring fixing devices 11, 26.

[0049] <Method for preventing wire theft using the wiring fixture according to embodiment 1> Here, if the wiring fixing method described above is considered as a "wire theft prevention method," and the protective tube 5 is referred to as a "tubular member such as an FEP tube," and the cutout portion 10 is referred to as an "opening," the steps of the wire theft prevention method in this embodiment are as follows.

[0050] That is, a wiring fixture 11 is attached to a tubular member (protective tube 5) such as an FEP tube, and the solar cable or other wiring 4 inserted into the tubular member is fixed in a state where it is difficult to insert or remove by engaging with the wiring fixture 11. More specifically, the tubular member (protective tube 5) is partially cut away in the circumferential direction to form an opening (cut-out portion 10), and the wiring fixture 11 is placed on the opening and attached so as to fit or cover it.

[0051] <Actions and Effects Obtained by Embodiment 1> According to the present embodiment having the above configuration, fixing device main body 12 is formed so as to be attachable to protective tube 5 so as to cover cutout portion 10, and is provided with engaging means 14 that can engage binding member 13 that binds wiring 4, so that wiring 4 is fixed to fixing device main body 12 by engaging binding member 13 that binds wiring 4 with engaging means 14. As a result, even if someone attempting to steal wiring 4 cuts wiring 4 at the location where wiring 4 inserted into protective tube 5 buried underground 100 is led out to the ground and at handhole portion 6 disposed in the middle of protective tube 5 and then tries to pull out wiring 4 above ground, fixing device main body 12 is attached to protective tube 5 and wiring 4 is fixed to fixing device main body 12, making it difficult to pull out the wiring 4.

[0052] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, a wiring fixture 11 is attached to a tubular member (protective tube 5) such as an FEP tube, and the solar cable or other wiring 4 inserted into the tubular member is engaged with the wiring fixture 11, thereby fixing the wiring 4 in a state that makes it difficult to insert or remove it, making it difficult to steal the wiring 4 by inserting or removing it.

[0053] As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to delay the theft of the wiring 4 and prevent the theft of the wiring 4.

[0054] In addition to the above-described embodiment 1, the wiring fixture according to the present invention may also employ the following embodiment 2. Hereinafter, embodiment 2 of the wiring fixture according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7.

[0055] Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing an exploded state of the wiring fixture according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a state in which the wiring fixture according to the second embodiment of the present invention is attached to a protective tube and wiring is fixed. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0056] <Overall configuration of the wiring fixture according to the second embodiment> The wiring fixture 31 shown in Figures 6 and 7 is attached to the protective tube 5 and includes a fixture body 32 for fixing multiple wirings 4 inside the protective tube 5, and an engaging means 33 that can engage with a binding member 13 that bundles the multiple wirings 4.

[0057] Wiring fixture 31 is identical in configuration and structure to embodiment 1, except that it includes fixture main body 32 instead of fixture main body 12 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) in embodiment 1. Therefore, the configuration of fixture main body 32 will be described below.

[0058] <About the fixture itself> Fixing device main body 32 is a member formed in the shape of a lid capable of covering cutout portion 10, and at least inner surface 34 that comes into contact with outer surface 7 of protective tube 5 is formed in a curved shape that is capable of covering cutout portion 10. The inner surface 34 of fixing device main body 32 is formed so that its curvature is equivalent to the circumferential curvature of protective tube 5 in the range where cutout portion 10 is formed.

[0059] Fixing device main body 32 has locking pieces 35 at both longitudinal ends of protective tube 5 when fixing device main body 32 covers cutout portion 10. Locking pieces 35 are formed so as to be able to lock onto outer surface 7 of protective tube 5. Specifically, locking pieces 35 are formed so as to be able to be hooked onto protrusions 9 when locking pieces 35 are bent downward when fixing device main body 32 covers cutout portion 10.

[0060] The fixing device main body 32 has an outer surface 36 formed with an insertion hole 37 through which the engaging member 21 can be inserted, and an engagement visualization hole 38 through which the engagement state between the binding member 13 binding the wiring 4 and the engaging means 33 can be visually confirmed.

[0061] <Regarding the engagement means> The engaging means 33 includes an engaging member 21 and a fixing member 22, similar to the first embodiment, except that an insertion hole 37 is used instead of the insertion hole 19 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) in the first embodiment.

[0062] <Modification of the second embodiment> Next, a modification of the second embodiment will be described. The wiring fixture according to the present invention may employ the following modified examples of the second embodiment.

[0063] A wiring fixture (not shown) according to a modified example of embodiment 2 may employ a configuration including a fixing member (rod-shaped member) 28 as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 instead of the fixing member (nut) 22 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) as the "engagement means" in the claims.

[0064] <Method for fixing a wire using the wire fixing tool according to the second embodiment> The method for fixing wiring using the wiring fixture 31 according to this embodiment is similar to the method for fixing wiring using the wiring fixture 11 according to embodiment 1, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted here. However, in this embodiment, after covering the cutout portion 10 with the fixture body 32, an additional step is performed in which the locking pieces 35 are bent downward so as to be hooked onto the protrusions 9.

[0065] <Actions and Effects Obtained by Embodiment 2> According to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are obtained. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are obtained.

[0066] The wiring fixture according to the present invention may employ the following embodiment 3 in addition to the above embodiments 1 and 2. Hereinafter, embodiment 3 of the wiring fixture according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 8 to 10.

[0067] Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a state in which a wiring fixture according to embodiment 3 of the present invention has been attached to a protective tube and wiring has been fixed, Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing a state in which wiring has been fixed to a fixture main body in embodiment 3, and Fig. 10 is a view showing a state in which the engaging means in embodiment 3 in Fig. 9 is viewed from the direction indicated by arrow X. Note that the same components as in embodiment 1 are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0068] <Overall configuration of the wiring fixture according to the third embodiment> A wiring fixture 41 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is attached to a protective tube 5 and includes a fixture body 42 for fixing a plurality of wirings 4 inside the protective tube 5.

[0069] Wiring fixture 41 is identical in configuration and structure to embodiment 1, except that it includes fixture main body 42 instead of fixture main body 12 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) in embodiment 1. Therefore, the configuration of fixture main body 42 will be described below.

[0070] <About the fixture itself> Fixing device body 42 is identical in configuration and structure to fixing device body 32, except that fixing device body 42 includes engaging means 43 instead of engaging means 33 of fixing device body 32 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) in embodiment 2.

[0071] The fixing device main body 42 is a member formed in the shape of a lid that can cover the cutout portion 10, and at least the inner surface 44 that contacts the outer surface 7 of the protective tube 5 is formed in a curved shape that can cover the cutout portion 10 (the curvature of the inner surface 44 is formed so as to be equivalent to the circumferential curvature of the protective tube 5 in the area where the cutout portion 10 is formed).

[0072] As shown in Figure 8, the fixing device main body 42 has locking pieces 45 formed in the same manner as the locking pieces 35 in embodiment 2 (see Figures 6 and 7) at each of both longitudinal ends of the protective tube 5 when covering the cutout portion 10.

[0073] 9 and 10, fastener body 42 has engaging means 43 provided on its inner surface 44. Engaging means 43 has engaging portions 48 formed in a bridge shape and continuing to both ends of opening 47 formed through outer surface 46 of fastener body 42, and insertion portion 49 through which binding member 50 can be inserted (in this embodiment, a cable tie (insulok) is used as binding member 50). Engaging means 43 and opening 47 are formed, for example, by punching out a portion of fastener body 42 from outer surface 46 to inner surface 44.

[0074] Fixing device main body 42 may have a configuration in which an engagement visual confirmation hole (not shown) is formed on outer surface 46, through which the engagement state between binding member 50 binding wires 4 and engaging means 43 can be visually confirmed. Alternatively, opening 47 may be formed so that the engagement state between engaging means 43 and binding member 50 can be visually confirmed.

[0075] <Modification of the third embodiment> Next, a modification of the third embodiment will be described. The wiring fixture according to the present invention may employ the following modified examples of the third embodiment.

[0076] A wiring fixture (not shown) according to a modified example of embodiment 3 has an "insertion hole" formed on outer surface 46 of fixture body 42 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 that is similar to insertion hole 19 in embodiment 1 (see FIGS. 2 to 5) or insertion hole 37 in embodiment 1 (see FIGS. 6 and 7), and may employ, instead of engagement means 43, "engagement means" having a configuration similar to engagement means 14 in embodiment 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 3), engagement means 27 in the modified example of embodiment 1 (see FIGS. 4 and 5), or engagement means 33 in embodiment 2 (see FIGS. 6 and 7).

[0077] <Method for fixing a wire using a wire fixing tool according to the third embodiment> Next, a wiring fixing method using the wiring fixture 41 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 8 to 10. Note that the wiring fixing method is the same as that of the first embodiment in that it includes a "wiring fixing method for an existing buried protective pipe" and a "wiring fixing method for a new buried protective pipe."

[0078] <Method of fixing wiring in existing buried protective pipes> First, a method for fixing wiring to an existing buried protective pipe will be described. First, the protective pipe 5 that has already been buried in the ground 100 (see FIG. 1) is excavated and exposed, and similarly to the first embodiment, a cutout portion 10 is provided on the outer surface 7 of the protective pipe 5.

[0079] After providing the cutout portion 10, the multiple wires 4 inside the protective tube 5 are bundled with the bundling member 50, and one end of the bundling member 50 is inserted into the insertion portion 49 of the engaging means 43, and the one end and the other end of the bundling member 50 are joined, thereby engaging the bundled wires 4 with the engaging portion 48 (see Figure 9).

[0080] Thereafter, the cutout portion 10 is covered with the fixing device main body 42, and the locking piece 45 is bent downward to hook onto the protrusion 9 and lock (see FIG. 8). After the cutout portion 10 is covered with the fixing device main body 42, a tape (fusible tape) is wrapped around the covered area in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5 as a protective means, thereby eliminating the gap between the fixing device main body 42 and the cutout portion 10 and achieving watertight and dustproof properties.

[0081] After wrapping the tape, the protective pipe 5 is buried again in the ground 100. This completes the process of fixing the wiring 4 in the protective pipe 5 buried in the ground 100 using the wiring fixture 41.

[0082] <How to fix the wiring in a new buried protective pipe> Next, a method for fixing the wiring to the new buried protective pipe will be described. First, a portion of the outer surface 7 is cut away in the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5 to be newly buried in the ground 100, and a desired range of the outer surface 7 is cut away in the longitudinal direction of the protective pipe 5, thereby forming a cut-out portion 10, and a wiring fixture 41 is attached to the location where the cut-out portion 10 was formed. The procedure for fixing the wiring 4 with the wiring fixture 41 and attaching it to the protective pipe 5 is the same as the procedure for attaching the wiring fixture 41 in the "method for fixing wiring in an existing buried protective pipe" explained above.

[0083] Thereafter, the buried location of the protective pipe 5 is excavated and exposed, and the protective pipe 5 is buried. This completes the work of fixing the wiring 4 inside the protective pipe 5 that is newly buried underground 100 using the wiring fixture 41.

[0084] <Actions and Effects Obtained by Embodiment 3> According to the present embodiment described above, the same action as in the first embodiment is achieved. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment is achieved.

[0085] In addition to the above-described Embodiments 1 to 3, the wiring fixture according to the present invention may also employ the following Embodiment 4. Hereinafter, Embodiment 4 of the wiring fixture according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 11 and 12.

[0086] Fig. 11 is a perspective view showing an exploded state of a wiring fixture according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing a state in which the wiring fixture according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is attached to a protective tube and wiring is fixed. Note that the same components as those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals and detailed explanations will be omitted.

[0087] <Overall configuration of the wiring fixture according to the fourth embodiment> 11 and 12 is attached to a protective tube 5 and includes a fixture main body 52 for fixing a plurality of wires 4 inside the protective tube 5. Each component of the wiring fixture 51 according to this embodiment will be described below.

[0088] <About the protective tube> The protective tube 5 shown in Fig. 11 has cutout portions 70 formed at desired locations on the outer surface 7. The cutout portions 70 are formed by cutting away the entire outer surface 7 at least in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5. Therefore, the cutout portions 70 may be formed by cutting away the entire outer surface 7 in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5, as well as by cutting away a desired range of the outer surface 7 in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5, or by cutting away the entire outer surface 7 in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5 (i.e., cutting the protective tube 5 perpendicular to this axial direction) and arranging the cutout portions at desired intervals in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5.

[0089] <About the fixture itself> Fixing device main body 52 is a cylindrical member that can cover cutout portion 70 and has an inner diameter that is approximately the same as the outer diameter of protective tube 5, and is formed by joining a pair of half bodies 53a, 53b together.

[0090] <About the split body> The half bodies 53a, 53b have a curved portion 55 in which the inner surface 54, which contacts at least a portion of the outer surface 7 of the protective tube 5, is formed in a curved shape that can cover the cut-out portion 70, and a joint portion 56 that is continuous with both ends of the curved portion 55 in the width direction and is formed in a flat shape along the longitudinal direction of the curved portion 55.

[0091] As shown in Figure 12, the curved portion 55 has locking pieces 57 formed in the same manner as the locking pieces 35 in embodiment 2 (see Figures 6 and 7) at each of both longitudinal ends of the protective tube 5 when covering the cutout portion 70.

[0092] 11, the curved portion 55 is provided with an engaging means 58 on the inner surface 54. The engaging means 58 has an engaging portion 61 formed in a bridge shape and continuing to both ends of an opening 60 formed through the outer surface 59 of the curved portion 55, and an insertion portion 62 through which the binding member 50 can be inserted. The engaging means 58 may be provided on both or either of the half bodies 53a, 53b.

[0093] An outer surface 59 of the curved portion 55 may be configured to have an engagement visual confirmation hole (not shown) formed therein, through which the engagement state between the binding member 50 binding the wires 4 and the engagement means 58 can be visually confirmed. Alternatively, an opening 60 may be formed so that the engagement state between the binding member 50 and the engagement means 58 can be visually confirmed.

[0094] 11, a plurality of bolt insertion holes 65 into which bolts 63 can be inserted are formed through joint portion 56. As shown in FIG. 12, joint portion 56 is formed so that joint portions 56 of respective half bodies 53a, 53b are in surface contact with each other when the pair of half bodies 53a, 53b are joined together.

[0095] <About joining the halves> The fixing device main body 52 is formed by joining the half bodies 53a, 53b having the above-described configuration together by inserting bolts 63 into the bolt insertion holes 65 and fastening the bolts 63 to nuts 64 while the joints 56 of the half bodies 53a, 53b are in surface contact with each other.

[0096] In addition to the above configuration, the fixing device main body 52 may be configured such that one end portion of each of the half bodies 53a, 53b in the width direction is connected to each other via a hinge portion (not shown), and the other end portion of each of the half bodies 53a, 53b in the width direction has a locking means that can be freely engaged and disengaged.

[0097] <Modification of the fourth embodiment> Next, a modification of the fourth embodiment will be described. The wiring fixture according to the present invention may employ the following modified examples of the fourth embodiment.

[0098] A wiring fixture (not shown) according to a modified example of embodiment 4 has an "insertion hole" formed on the outer surface 59 of the curved portion 55 shown in Figures 11 and 12 similar to the insertion hole 19 in embodiment 1 (see Figures 2 to 5) or the insertion hole 37 in embodiment 1 (see Figures 6 and 7), and may employ, instead of the engagement means 43, an "engagement means" having a configuration similar to the engagement means 14 in embodiment 1 (see Figures 2 and 3), the engagement means 27 in the modified example of embodiment 1 (see Figures 4 and 5), or the engagement means 33 in embodiment 2 (see Figures 6 and 7).

[0099] <Method for fixing a wire using a wire fixing tool according to the fourth embodiment> Next, a wiring fixing method using the wiring fixture 51 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 11 and 12. Note that the wiring fixing method is the same as that of the first embodiment in that it includes a "wiring fixing method for an existing buried protective pipe" and a "wiring fixing method for a new buried protective pipe."

[0100] <Method of fixing wiring in existing buried protective pipes> First, a method for fixing wiring to an existing buried protective pipe will be described. First, the protective pipe 5 that has already been buried in the ground 100 (see FIG. 1 ) is excavated and exposed, and the entire outer surface 7 is removed at least in the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5 to form the removed portion 70. Here, when forming the removed portion 70 in the protective pipe 5 that has already been buried in the ground 100, the entire outer surface 7 is removed in the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5, and a desired range of the outer surface 7 is removed in the longitudinal direction of the protective pipe 5.

[0101] After forming the cut-out portion 70, with the multiple wires 4 inside the protective tube 5 bundled with the bundling member 50, one end of the bundling member 50 is inserted into the insertion portion 62 of the engaging means 58, and the one end and the other end of the bundling member 50 are joined together, thereby engaging the bundled wires 4 with the engaging portion 61 (see Figure 11).

[0102] Thereafter, by joining the halves 53a and 53b together, the cutout portion 70 is covered with the fixing device main body 52, and the locking piece 57 is bent downward to be hooked onto the protrusion 9 and locked (see FIG. 12). The halves 53a and 53b are joined together by fastening the bolt 63 and nut 64 (see FIG. 12).

[0103] After covering the cutout portion 70 with the fixing device main body 52, a tape (fusible tape) is wrapped around the covered area in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5 as a protective means, thereby eliminating the gap between the fixing device main body 52 and the cutout portion 70 and achieving watertightness and dustproofness.

[0104] After wrapping the tape, the protective pipe 5 is buried again in the ground 100. This completes the process of fixing the wiring 4 in the protective pipe 5 buried in the ground 100 using the wiring fixture 51.

[0105] <How to fix the wiring in a new buried protective pipe> Next, a method for fixing the wiring to the new buried protective pipe will be described. First, the cut-out portions 70 are formed by cutting away the entire outer surface 7 in at least the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5 that is to be newly buried in the ground 100. Here, when forming the cut-out portions 70 in the protective pipe 5 that is to be newly buried in the ground 100, the cut-out portions 70 are formed by cutting away the entire outer surface 7 in the circumferential direction of the protective pipe 5 (i.e., cutting the protective pipe 5 perpendicular to its axial direction) and arranging the cut-out portions at desired intervals in the longitudinal direction of the protective pipe 5.

[0106] After forming the cutout portion 70, the wiring fixture 51 is attached to the location where the cutout portion 70 was provided. The procedure for attaching the wiring fixture 51 is the same as the procedure for fixing the wiring fixture 51 and attaching it to the protective pipe 5 in the "method for fixing wiring in an existing buried protective pipe" described above.

[0107] Thereafter, the buried location of the protective pipe 5 is excavated and exposed, and the protective pipe 5 is buried. This completes the work of fixing the wiring 4 inside the protective pipe 5 that is newly buried underground 100 using the wiring fixture 51.

[0108] <Method for preventing wire theft using a wire fastener according to the fourth embodiment> Here, if the wiring fixing method described above is considered as a "wire theft prevention method," and the protective tube 5 is referred to as a "tubular member such as an FEP tube," and the cutout portion 10 is referred to as an "opening," the steps of the wire theft prevention method in this embodiment are as follows.

[0109] That is, a wiring fixture 11 is attached to a tubular member (protective tube 5) such as an FEP tube, and the solar cable or other wiring 4 inserted into the tubular member is fixed in a state where it is difficult to insert or remove by engaging with the wiring fixture 11. More specifically, the wiring fixture 11 attaches a plurality of tubular members (protective tubes 5) so that they are connected at each end in the axial direction.

[0110] <Actions and Effects Obtained by Embodiment 4> According to the present embodiment described above, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are achieved. As a result, according to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are achieved.

[0111] <Other Modifications 1 to 4 of the Present Invention> The configurations described in the above embodiments can be modified as appropriate within the scope of the present invention, and are not limited to the configurations of the above embodiments. Below, other modified examples 1 to 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 13 and 14, etc.

[0112] <Other Variation 1> In another modified example 1 of the present invention, a cutout portion 71 is formed at a desired location on the outer surface 7 of the protective tube 5. As shown in Fig. 13, the cutout portion 71 has a configuration in which a notch portion 72 is provided in at least a part of a rectangular peripheral edge 71a.

[0113] With the above configuration, when removing fixing device main body 12 covering excision portion 71, the worker can insert his or her fingers into cutout portion 72, thereby making it easy to remove fixing device main body 12.

[0114] <Other Variation 2> In another modified example 2 of the present invention, a cutout 73 is formed at a desired location on the outer surface 7 of the protective tube 5 (see FIG. 14). The configuration of the cutout 73 in this example can be characterized as follows: "at least one of the width of the cutout in the circumferential direction of the protective tube and the width in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube is formed so that the width length of the desired location in the circumferential direction and / or longitudinal direction is unequal to the width length of locations other than the desired location."

[0115] In addition, the above "at least one" means "either the circumferential width of the protective tube or the longitudinal width of the protective tube," as well as "both the circumferential width of the protective tube and the longitudinal width of the protective tube."

[0116] Therefore, in this example, as shown in Figure 14, the width W1 in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5 is formed so that the length of the width W3 of the desired point P1 in the circumferential direction of the protective tube 5 is unequal to the length of the width W4 of a point P2 other than the desired point P1 (i.e., so that the length of width W3 is longer than the length of width W4), and the width W2 in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5 is formed so that the length of the width W5 of the desired point P3 in the longitudinal direction of the protective tube 5 is unequal to the length of the width W6 of a point P4 other than the desired point P3 (i.e., so that the length of width W5 is longer than the length of width W6).

[0117] As described above, the cutout portion 73 is formed in a non-rectangular shape (e.g., an oval or elliptical shape) as shown in Figure 14, and is configured to have a portion such as a notch portion 72 (see Figure 13) on at least a portion of the periphery 73a of the cutout portion 73.

[0118] <Other Variation 3> Another variation 3 of the present invention employs a configuration in which fixing device main body 12 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) in embodiment 1 is provided with engaging means like engaging means 43 in embodiment 3 (see FIGS. 9 and 10).

[0119] <Other Variation 4> Another variation 4 of the present invention employs a configuration in which a locking piece like locking piece 35 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) in embodiment 2 is provided on abutment portion 16 (see FIGS. 2 and 3) of fixing device main body 12 in embodiment 1.
