Background Art

[0002] When pumping a liquid through a pipe, in order to change the direction of the liquid flow, generally, an elbow (joint) having a radius of curvature for connecting pipes with different directions is used. In addition, nipples (joints) are used for extending pipes, connecting pipes, and extending pipes. In addition, a base plate is used to fix joints such as elbows and nipples. Conventionally, the joint and the base plate are each manufactured separately by casting or the like, and these are fixed by welding work or the like and molded.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, the joint according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. <First Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the elbow 11 with a base plate according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the elbow 11 with a base plate is a joint that connects a first member and a second member and discharges the liquid or gas flowing in from the second member toward the first member. In the elbow 11 with a base plate, the liquid or gas flows in from the opening of the base plate portion 23 shown in FIG. 1(B) and flows out from the opening of the elbow portion 21 shown in FIG. 1(A).

[0012] The elbow 11 with a base plate is composed of an elbow portion 21 and a base plate portion 23. One end of the elbow portion 21 is connected to the first member. The base plate portion 23 is located on the other end side of the elbow portion 21, fixed to the second member, and discharges the liquid or gas flowing in from the second member toward the elbow portion 21. The base plate portion 23 has a disk shape. Four fixing holes are formed in the base plate portion 23 at equal intervals, and bolts are passed through the fixing holes and nuts are attached to fix it to the second member.

[0013] The elbow portion 21 and the base plate portion 23 are integrally formed by casting.

[0014] The elbow 11 with a base plate is a component for changing the direction of the pipe, usually having an angle of 90 degrees or 45 degrees. Connect one end of the elbow to the pipe. Connect the next pipe to the other end of the elbow.

[0015] The base plate portion 23 is a component used when fixing the elbow 11 with a base plate. The base plate portion 23 stably fixes the elbow 11 with a base plate to the second member.

[0016] FIG. 2 is a flowchart for explaining the process of manufacturing the elbow 11 with a base plate. Step ST1: Manufacture a mold for the elbow 11 with a base plate.

[0017] Step ST2: Using the mold manufactured in Step ST1, manufacture the elbow 11 with a base plate by casting. Step ST3: Thread the pipe connection part of the elbow 11 with a base plate, and smooth the fixing part of the base plate part 23.

[0018] Step ST4: Manage inventory and sell as the elbow 11 with a base plate.

[0019] As described above, according to the elbow 11 with a base plate, since the elbow part 21 and the base plate part 23 are integrally formed by casting, there is no need to join the joint part and the base plate part by welding or the like. Therefore, the manufacturing process can be simplified. Also, inventory management can be performed for the elbow 11 with a base plate, and the management cost can be reduced.

[0020] <Second Embodiment> FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the elbow 111 with a base plate according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the elbow 111 with a base plate is a joint that connects a first member and a second member and discharges the liquid or gas flowing in from the second member toward the first member. In the elbow 11 with a base plate, liquid or gas flows in from the opening of the base plate part 123 shown in FIG. 3(B) and flows out from the opening of the elbow part 121 shown in FIG. 3(A).

[0021] The elbow 111 with a base plate is composed of an elbow part 21 and a base plate part 123. One end of the elbow part 21 is connected to the first member. The base plate portion 123 is located on the other end side of the elbow portion 21, fixed to the second member, and discharges the liquid flowing in from the second member toward the elbow portion 21. The base plate portion 123 has a rectangular thin plate shape. Four fixing holes are formed at equal intervals in the base plate portion 123, and bolts are passed through the fixing holes and nuts are attached to fix it to the second member.
