Abstract

In a fiber-reinforced resin pipe for introducing and discharging a liquid, a pipe ( 1 ) is provided with a plurality of introduction/discharge parts ( 2 ) for introducing or discharging liquid that are arranged at intervals in the axial direction from a peripheral surface of the pipe.

Claims (20)

1. A fiber-reinforced resin pipe comprising:

a plurality of introduction/discharge parts for introducing or discharging a liquid via a peripheral surface of the pipe, the introduction/discharge parts being arranged at intervals in an axial direction, wherein each introduction/discharge parts comprises a through-hole formed in the peripheral surface of said pipe and a cylinder having a collar at one end thereof, the cylinder being provided in the through-hole;

a spacer provided between the collar of the cylinder and an internal peripheral surface of said pipe, the spacer having a curved upper surface shape that conforms to a curved shape of the internal peripheral surface; and

a first seal member for forming a seal between an external peripheral surface of the cylinder and an internal peripheral surface of said through-hole provided to the external peripheral surface of said cylinder.

2. The fiber-reinforced resin pipe according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a second seal member for forming a seal between an upper surface of the collar and a bottom surface of said spacer provided between the upper surface of said collar and the bottom surface of said spacer.

3. The fiber-reinforced resin pipe according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a third seal member for forming a seal between an upper surface of the spacer and an internal peripheral surface of said pipe provided between the upper surface of said spacer and the internal peripheral surface of said pipe.

4. An introduction/discharge part comprising:

a cylinder;

a collar disposed at one end of the cylinder; and

a spacer through which the cylinder protrudes, the spacer having a bottom surface that faces an upper surface of the collar, wherein the spacer comprises an upper surface opposite the bottom surface of the spacer, the upper surface of the spacer having a curved shape configured to conform to a curved shape of an inner peripheral surface of a pipe about a through hole of the pipe in which the cylinder is to be inserted; and

a first seal member disposed about an external peripheral surface of the cylinder for forming a seal between an external peripheral surface of the cylinder and an internal peripheral surface of the through-hole provided to the external peripheral surface of the cylinder.

5. The introduction/discharge part according to claim 4 , further comprising:

a second seal member disposed between the upper surface of the collar and the bottom surface of the spacer.

6. The introduction/discharge part according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a third seal member disposed on the upper surface of the spacer.

7. The introduction/discharge part according to claim 6 , wherein the first seal member is an O-ring, and

wherein the second seal member and the third seal member are flat packing seals.

8. The introduction/discharge part according to claim 4 , wherein the curved shape of the upper surface of the spacer is a convex shape that conforms to a concave shape of the curved shape of the inner peripheral surface of the pipe about the through hole.
