Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a joint structure for a steel pipe pile. [Background technology]

[0002] Various types of joint structures for steel pipe piles have been developed in the past, and one related to the present invention is the pile joint structure described in Patent Document 1, for example.

[0003] The pile joint structure described in Patent Document 1 has a receiving portion having a circular axial cross section formed on the inner diameter surface of the receiving port tip side of one pile made of a tubular body, and a female transmission portion having a non-circular axial cross section formed on the inner diameter surface of the receiving port back side, which is continuous with the receiving portion in the axial direction. A male transmission part that engages with the female transmission part is formed on the outer diameter surface of the tip side of the insertion port of the other pile consisting of a tubular body, and an insertion part that engages with the receiving part is formed on the outer diameter surface of the base side of the insertion port, continuous with the male transmission part in the axial direction, When one pile is inserted into the other pile to bury the piles, the rotational torque is transmitted by the engagement between the female transmission part and the male transmission part, while the engagement between the receiving part and the insertion part prevents the two piles from bending relatively at that part.

[0013] A joint structure 100 for a steel pipe pile according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The joint structure 100 for a steel pipe pile shown in Figure 8 comprises a male joint member 10 shown in Figures 1 to 3 and a female joint member 30 shown in Figures 4 to 6.

[0014] First, a male coupling member 10 constituting a joint structure 100 for a steel pipe pile will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 3 and 8. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the male coupling member 10 is a member having a shape that is rotationally symmetric (six-fold symmetric) about the axis 10c. The male coupling member 10 has a flange-shaped pile fixing portion 11, a hexagonal cylindrical convex joint portion 12 that protrudes from the upper surface 11a of the pile fixing portion 11 in the direction of the axis 10c, a cylindrical convex joint portion 13 that protrudes from the tip of the convex joint portion 12 in the direction of the axis 10c, and six female screw holes 14 that are opened in a peripheral wall 13w of the convex joint portion 13 so as to radiate toward the axis 10c.

[0015] As shown in Figure 2, the pile fastening portion 11 of the male coupling member 10 has a circular shape in plan view, the convex mating portion 12 has a rounded hexagonal shape in plan view, and the convex joint portion 13 has a circular shape in plan view. In the male coupling member 10, the maximum outer diameter 12D of the convex joint portion 12 is smaller than the outer diameter 11d of the pile fastening portion 11, and the outer diameter 13d of the convex joint portion 13 is smaller than the minimum outer diameter 12d of the convex joint portion 12. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a cavity 10a is formed inside the male coupling member 10, penetrating in the direction of the axis 10c.

[0016] Next, the female coupling member 30 constituting the joint structure 100 for a steel pipe pile will be described with reference to Figures 4 to 6 and 8. As shown in Figures 4 to 6, the female coupling member 30 has a concave joint portion 33 and a concave mating portion 32 formed inside the cylindrical body 31 along the direction of the axis 31c so that the convex joint portion 13 and the convex mating portion 12 of the male coupling member 10 shown in Figure 1 can be fitted in an inscribed state, respectively, and bolt insertion holes 34 opened in the peripheral wall 33w of the concave joint portion 33 of the cylindrical body 31, the same number as the female screw holes 14 (see Figures 1 and 2) of the male coupling member 10. The six bolt insertion holes 34 are opened radially toward the axis 31c and are in phase with the six female screw holes 14 (see Figure 2) of the male coupling member 10.

[0017] As shown in Figure 5, the cylindrical body 31 constituting the female coupling member 30 has a circular shape in a plan view, the inner peripheral surface of the concave mating portion 32 has a rounded hexagonal shape in a plan view, and the inner peripheral surface of the concave joining portion 33 has a circular shape in a plan view. In the female coupling member 30, the maximum inner diameter 32D of the concave mating portion 32 is smaller than the outer diameter 31d of the cylindrical body 31, and the inner diameter 33d of the concave joining portion 33 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter 32d of the concave mating portion 32. As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the bolt insertion hole 34 of the female coupling member 30 is provided with a counterbore 35 for embedding the head 21 of the bolt 20 (see Figure 8).

[0018] Next, the construction process of the joint structure 100 for a steel pipe pile will be described with reference to Figures 3, 6, 7, and 8. As shown in Figure 3, the male coupling member 10 is brought into close contact with the end face of the steel pipe pile P1 with the pile fixing portion 11 facing the end of the steel pipe pile P1, and then, as shown in Figure 7, the male coupling member 10 is fixed to the steel pipe pile P1 by a weld W1. Because the outer diameter 11d (see Figure 2) of the pile fixing portion 11 of the male coupling member 10 is the same as the outer diameter of the steel pipe pile P1, after fixing, the outer peripheral surface of the pile fixing portion 11 of the male coupling member 10 and the outer peripheral surface of the steel pipe pile P1 are smooth except for the weld W1. The welding work for the weld W1 is performed in a factory.

[0019] As shown in Fig. 6, the female coupling member 30 is brought into close contact with the end of the steel pipe P2 with the end face 31a of the concave joint portion 33 of the cylindrical body 31 of the female coupling member 30 facing the end of the steel pipe P2, and then, as shown in Fig. 7, the female coupling member 30 is fixed to the steel pipe P2 by a weld W2. Since the outer diameter 31d (see Fig. 5) of the cylindrical body 31 of the female coupling member 30 is the same as the outer diameter of the steel pipe P2, after fixing, the outer circumferential surfaces of the cylindrical body 31 of the female coupling member 30 and the steel pipe pile P2 are smooth except for the weld W2. As with the weld W1 described above, the welding work for the weld W2 is performed in a factory.

[0020] Next, as shown in Figure 7, a steel pipe pile P1 to which a male coupling member 10 is fixed and a steel pipe pile P2 to which a female coupling member 30 is fixed are arranged in series on the same straight line, and the convex joint portion 13 of the male coupling member 10 is inserted into the female coupling member 30. The hexagonal outer periphery of the convex mating portion 12 of the male coupling member 10 is aligned with the hexagonal inner periphery of the concave mating portion 32 of the female coupling member 30. Then, as shown in Figure 8, the convex joint portion 13 and the convex joint portion 12 of the male coupling member 10 are fitted into the concave joint portion 33 and the concave joint portion 32 of the female coupling member 30 in an inscribed state.

[0021] In the state shown in Figure 8, the bolt insertion hole 34 of the female coupling member 30 and the female threaded hole 14 of the male coupling member 10 are connected to each other in the same straight line, so when a bolt 20 is threaded through the bolt insertion hole 34 from the outer periphery of the female coupling member 30 and into the female threaded hole 14 of the male coupling member 10, the male coupling member 10 and the female coupling member 30 are fixed in close contact with each other, and the joint structure 100 for the steel pipe pile is completed.

[0022] The outer diameter 11d of the pile fixing portion 11 of the male joint member 10 is equal to the outer diameter 31 of the cylindrical body 31 of the female joint member 30, and since the head 21 of the bolt 20 after being screwed is embedded in the counterbore 35 of the bolt insertion hole 34, the outer surface of the joint structure 100 of the steel pipe pile has no protruding portions.

[0023] The joint structure 100 for steel pipe piles can be constructed without using large machinery, so it can be constructed even in narrow work sites. Furthermore, since the work shown in Figure 8 does not require welding, it can be constructed even in work sites where thermal power cannot be used, and no welding machine or welders are required. Furthermore, the joint structure 100 for steel pipe piles shown in Figure 8 has a simple structure, high strength, and high rigidity against torsional forces (rotational torque) of the joint.

[0024] Here, an example will be described in which a fixing pin shown in Fig. 9 is used instead of the bolt 20. Fig. 9 shows the fixing pin, with (A) being a left side view, (B) being a front view, and (C) being a right side view. Fig. 10 is a partially omitted vertical cross-sectional view showing a joint structure of a steel pipe pile using the fixing pin shown in Fig. 9. In Fig. 10, parts common to the joint structure 100 of a steel pipe pile described above are given the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0025] As shown in Figure 10, in a joint structure 101 for a steel pipe pile using a fixing pin 40, a pin hole 15 is formed in the male joint member 10 instead of the above-mentioned female threaded hole 14. On the other hand, a female joint member 30 is formed with a female threaded hole 36 instead of the bolt insertion hole 34. The pin hole 15 is a cylindrical hole, and its inner diameter is formed to be smaller than the inner diameter of the female threaded hole 36.

[0026] The fixing pin 40 has a pin portion 41 that can be inserted into the pin hole 15 of the male coupling component 10, and a male threaded portion 42 that can be screwed into the female threaded hole 36 of the female coupling component 30. A hexagonal hole 43 is formed in the end of the fixing pin 40 on the male threaded portion 42 side.

[0027] The fixing pin 40 is inserted into the female threaded hole 36 from the outer periphery of the female coupling member 30 with the pin portion 41 facing the female threaded hole 36. Then, a rotary tool such as a hex wrench is inserted into the hexagonal hole 43 to rotate the fixing pin 40 and screw the male threaded portion 42 into the female threaded hole 36, whereupon the pin portion 41 is inserted into the pin hole 15 of the male coupling member 10 through the female threaded hole 36. As a result, the male coupling member 10 and the female coupling member 30 are fixed in close contact with each other, and the joint structure 101 for the steel pipe pile is completed.

[0028] The joint structure 100 of the steel pipe pile described based on Figures 1 to 10 shows an example of the joint structure of the steel pipe pile according to the present invention, and the joint structure of the steel pipe pile according to the present invention is not limited to the joint structure 100 of the steel pipe pile described above. [Industrial Applicability]
