DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the tube joint structure and chimney repair method according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In addition, the components in the following embodiments include those that are replaceable and easy for a person skilled in the art, or those that are substantially the same.

[0012] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a chimney having a tube-body joint structure according to this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the chimney 100 is configured such that a plurality of tube bodies 10 made of fiber-reinforced plastic are joined in the vertical direction. The chimney 100 is supported by being suspended from, for example, a steel tower 101. The chimney 100 is supported horizontally at a plurality of support positions in the vertical direction of the steel tower 101.

[0013] Fig. 2 is an external view showing an example of a tube body joint structure 50 according to this embodiment. Fig. 3 is a view showing a configuration along the AA section (longitudinal section) in Fig. 2. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the chimney 100 has a tube body joint structure 50 in which a plurality of tube bodies 10 are joined together in the vertical direction. Hereinafter, when distinguishing between the tube bodies connected in the vertical direction, the tube body arranged on the upper side of the tube body joint structure 50 will be referred to as the first tube body 11, and the tube body arranged on the lower side of the tube body joint structure 50 will be referred to as the second tube body 12.

[0014] The tube body joining structure 50 includes a first tube body 11, a second tube body 12, a connecting mechanism 20, a laminated member 30, and a penetrating member 40.

[0015] The first cylindrical body 11 is formed using fiber reinforced plastic. A lower end portion 11a of the first cylindrical body 11 is joined to the second cylindrical body 12.

[0016] The second tube body 12 is formed of fiber-reinforced plastic, similar to the first tube body. The second tube body 12 has a recess 12b at the upper end 12a. The lower end 11a of the first tube body 11 is inserted into the recess 12b. A resin material 13 is filled between the recess 12b and the lower end 11a.

[0017] The first cylindrical body 11 and the second cylindrical body 12 are arranged such that the lower end 11a and the upper end 12a overlap in the vertical direction. The lower end 11a of the first cylindrical body 11 and the upper end 12a of the second cylindrical body 12 each constitute an overlapping portion when the first cylindrical body 11 and the second cylindrical body 12 overlap in the vertical direction.

[0018] The connecting mechanism 20 has a first ring member 21, a second ring member 22, and a connecting member 23. The first ring member 21 is attached around the outer periphery of the first cylindrical body 11. The second ring member 22 is attached around the outer periphery of the second cylindrical body 12. The connecting member 23 connects the first ring member 21 and the second ring member 22 in the up-down direction.

[0019] The laminated member 30 is formed using a resin material and laminated on the outer peripheral surfaces of the first tube body 11 and the second tube body 12. The laminated member 30 has a first laminated member 31 and a second laminated member 32. The first laminated member 31 has a first ring upper member 31a arranged above the first ring member 21 and a first ring lower member 31b arranged below the first ring member 21. The first ring lower member 31b may be configured to support the first ring member 21. The second laminated member 32 has a second ring upper member 32a arranged above the second ring member 22 and a second ring lower member 32b arranged below the second ring member 22. The second ring lower member 32b may be configured to support the second ring member 22.

[0020] The penetrating member 40 is provided between the first ring lower member 31b of the laminated member 30 and the first cylindrical body 11, penetrating the first cylindrical body 11 in the radial direction. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a main part in FIG. 3. FIG. 4 shows an enlarged view of a portion where the penetrating member 40 is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, the penetrating member 40 is disposed between the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11. The penetrating member 40 supports the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11.

[0021] The penetrating member 40 is disposed in the through hole 45. The through hole 45 penetrates between the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11 in the radial direction of the first cylindrical body 11, and is formed in a tapered shape with a diameter decreasing from the first ring lower member 31b side to the first cylindrical body 11 side. The penetrating member 40 is joined to the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11 via a resin filler 46 inserted between the penetrating member 40 and the through hole 45.

[0022] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example of the penetrating member 40. As shown in FIG. 5, the penetrating member 40 is cylindrical and has a double structure having a center side member 41 and an outer periphery side member 42. With this configuration, the load from the first tube body 11 is not biased toward the center side member 41, and can be transmitted as an evenly distributed load to the entire penetrating member 40 including the center side member 41 and the outer periphery side member 42. The penetrating member 40 has a configuration in which the center side member 41 protrudes on both sides in the axial direction relative to the outer periphery side member 42. Note that the penetrating member 40 may have a configuration in which the end faces in the axial direction are aligned between the center side member 41 and the outer periphery side member 42, or may have a configuration in which the center side member 41 is buried inside both ends of the outer periphery side member 42 in the axial direction.

[0023] The center side member 41 is formed using a metal material. The outer peripheral side member 42 is formed using a resin material and is disposed on the outer periphery of the center side member 41. Since the outer peripheral side member 42 using a resin material is disposed on the outer periphery side of the penetrating member 40, it can be firmly bonded to the resin filler 46. Furthermore, since the center side member 41 using a metal material is disposed on the center side of the penetrating member 40, it is possible to ensure higher rigidity than when the entire outer peripheral side member is formed from resin.

[0024] The penetrating member 40 has a configuration in which dissimilar materials are joined between a central side member 41 made of a metal material and an outer peripheral side member 42 made of a resin material. The penetrating member 40 is formed in advance, for example, in a factory, in order to improve the quality of the joining structure in which dissimilar materials are joined together.

[0025] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a configuration along the BB cross section (transverse cross section) in Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 6, a plurality of penetrating members 40 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first cylindrical body 11. Fig. 6 shows a configuration in which the penetrating members 40 are arranged at 60° intervals in the circumferential direction of the first cylindrical body 11, for example, but is not limited to this.

[0026] Next, a chimney repair method for forming the tube-body joint structure 50 configured as described above will be described. Fig. 7 to Fig. 10 are process diagrams showing an example of a chimney repair method. Fig. 7 shows an example of a chimney 100A before repair. As shown in Fig. 7, the chimney 100A has a first tube body 11, a second tube body 12, a connecting mechanism 20, and a laminated member 30.

[0027] From this state, a through hole forming process is performed as shown in Fig. 8. In the through hole forming process, a work scaffold (not shown) is installed at the height position of the first ring lower member 31b, and a through hole 45 is formed so as to penetrate between the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11 in the radial direction of the first cylindrical body 11. In addition, the through hole 45 is formed in a tapered shape that decreases in diameter from the first ring lower member 31b side to the first cylindrical body 11 side.

[0028] After the through hole 45 is formed, a penetrating member arranging step is performed as shown in FIG. 9. In the penetrating member arranging step, the penetrating member 40 is arranged in the through hole 45 so as to straddle between the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11. As described above, the penetrating member 40 is formed in advance in a factory or the like. In the penetrating member arranging step, the previously formed penetrating member 40 is arranged in the through hole 45. At this time, a spacer (not shown) or the like may be arranged to maintain the positional relationship between the penetrating member 40 and the inner peripheral surface 45a of the through hole 45. After the penetrating member 40 is arranged, as shown in FIG. 10, a resin filler 46 is filled between the inner peripheral surface 45a of the through hole 45 and the penetrating member 40 to fix the penetrating member 40.

[0029] As described above, the tube body joining structure 50 of this embodiment is a chimney tube body joining structure 50 in which multiple tube bodies 10 formed of fiber reinforced plastic are joined in the vertical direction and supported in a suspended state, and includes a first tube body 11, a second tube body 12 arranged at the bottom of the first tube body 11 and joined to the first tube body 11 via a resin material, a first ring member 21 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the first tube body 11, a second ring member 22 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the second tube body 12, and a connecting mechanism 20 having a connecting member 23 connecting the first ring member 21 and the second ring member 22, a first ring lower member 31b formed using a resin material and arranged at least below the first ring member 21 on the outer peripheral surface of the first tube body 11, and a penetrating member 40 provided to penetrate the first tube body 11 in the radial direction between the first ring lower member 31b and the first tube body 11.

[0030] Therefore, since the penetrating member 40 is provided between the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11 and penetrates the first cylindrical body 11 in the radial direction, it is possible to prevent the first ring lower member 31b from falling off due to the shear resistance of the penetrating member 40. This makes it possible to prevent the second cylindrical body 12 from falling off relative to the first cylindrical body 11.

[0031] In the tube body joint structure 50 according to the present embodiment, the penetrating member 40 is cylindrical and has a double structure of a center side member 41 formed of a metal material and an outer periphery side member 42 formed of a resin material and arranged on the outer periphery of the center side member 41. With this configuration, the load from the first tube body 11 can be transmitted as an evenly distributed load to the entire penetrating member 40 including the center side member 41 and the outer periphery side member 42 without being biased toward the center side member 41. In addition, since the outer periphery side member 42 made of a resin material is arranged on the outer periphery side of the penetrating member 40, it can be firmly joined with the resin filler 46. In addition, since the center side member 41 made of a metal material is arranged on the center side of the penetrating member 40, a higher rigidity can be ensured compared to the case where the entire outer periphery side member is made of resin.

[0032] In the tube body joining structure 50 according to this embodiment, the penetrating member 40 is disposed in a through hole 45 that penetrates between the first ring lower member 31b and the first tube body 11 in the radial direction of the first tube body 11, and the penetrating member 40 is joined to the first ring lower member 31b and the first tube body 11 via a resin filler 46 that is inserted between the through hole 45. With this configuration, the penetrating member 40 can be firmly fixed.

[0033] In the tube-body joining structure 50 according to this embodiment, the through hole 45 is formed in a tapered shape that reduces in diameter from the first ring lower member 31b side to the first tube body 11 side. Therefore, it becomes easier to fill the resin filler 46 between the penetrating member 40 and the through hole 45.

[0034] In the tube-body joining structure 50 according to this embodiment, a plurality of penetrating members 40 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the first tube body 11. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the first ring lower member 31b from falling off over the entire circumferential direction of the first tube body 11.

[0035] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the above-mentioned embodiment has been described by taking as an example a configuration in which the penetrating member 40 is provided so as to penetrate between the first ring lower member 31b and the first cylindrical body 11, but the present invention is not limited to this.

[0036] Fig. 11 is a diagram (longitudinal cross-sectional view) showing an example of a tube body joining structure 50B according to a modified example. As shown in Fig. 11, the tube body joining structure 50B is configured to include a tube body penetrating member 60 and a penetrating member 70 in addition to the configuration of the tube body joining structure 50 described above. One of the tube body penetrating member 60 and the penetrating member 70 may be omitted.

[0037] The barrel-penetrating member 60 is provided to radially penetrate the lower end 11a and the upper end 12a, which are overlapping portions of the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12, and the resin material 13. The barrel-penetrating member 60 has a configuration similar to that of the penetrating member 40 described above. The barrel-penetrating member 60 is disposed in a through hole 65 that radially penetrates between the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12. The barrel-penetrating member 60 is joined to the first barrel 11 and the second barrel 12 via a resin filler 66 inserted between the through hole 65. This configuration allows the barrel-penetrating member 60 to be firmly fixed.

[0038] Moreover, the barrel-penetrating member 60 has a center side member 61 formed, for example, using a metal material, and an outer periphery side member 62 formed, for example, using a resin material. With this configuration, the load from the first barrel 11 is not biased toward the center side member 61, and can be transmitted as an evenly distributed load to the entire barrel-penetrating member 60 including the center side member 61 and the outer periphery side member 62.

[0039] Moreover, since the outer peripheral side member 62 made of a resin material is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the barrel-penetrating member 60, it can be firmly joined to the resin filler 46. Furthermore, since the central side member 61 made of a metal material is disposed on the central side of the barrel-penetrating member 60, it is possible to ensure higher rigidity than when the entire outer peripheral side member is made of resin.

[0040] On the other hand, the penetrating member 70 is provided between the second ring upper member 32a of the laminated member 30 and the second cylindrical body 12, penetrating the second cylindrical body 12 in the radial direction. The penetrating member 70 has a configuration similar to that of the penetrating member 40 described above. The penetrating member 70 is disposed in a through hole 75 that penetrates the second cylindrical body 12 in the radial direction between the second ring upper member 32a and the second cylindrical body 12. The penetrating member 70 is joined to the second ring upper member 32a and the second cylindrical body 12 via a resin filler 76 inserted between the through hole 75. This configuration allows the penetrating member 70 to be firmly fixed.

[0041] The penetrating member 70 has a center side member 71 formed of, for example, a metal material, and an outer peripheral side member 72 formed of a resin material. With this configuration, the load from the second tube body 12 is not biased toward the center side member 71, and can be transmitted as an evenly distributed load to the entire penetrating member 70 including the center side member 71 and the outer peripheral side member 72.

[0042] Moreover, since the outer peripheral side member 72 made of a resin material is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the penetrating member 70, it can be firmly bonded to the resin filler 76. Furthermore, since the central side member 71 made of a metal material is disposed on the central side of the penetrating member 70, it is possible to ensure higher rigidity than when the entire outer peripheral side member is made of resin.

[0043] Thus, in addition to the configuration of the tube body joining structure 50 according to the above embodiment, the tube body joining structure 50B according to the modified example is provided with a tube body penetrating member 60 that penetrates between the first tube body 11 and the second tube body 12 in the radial direction. This allows the first tube body 11 and the second tube body 12 to be locked together. This makes it possible to more reliably prevent the second tube body 12 from falling off the first tube body 11.

[0044] Furthermore, in addition to the configuration of the tube body joining structure 50 according to the above embodiment, the tube body joining structure 50B according to the modified example is provided with a penetrating member 70 that is provided between the second ring upper member 32a and the second tube body 12 and penetrates the second tube body 12 in the radial direction. This makes it possible to suppress the second ring upper member 32a from falling off due to the shear resistance of the penetrating member 70. This makes it possible to suppress the falling off between the tube bodies, i.e., the second tube body 12 from falling off from the first tube body 11. [Explanation of symbols]
