Plug for hot pipe making
View Patent ↗A plug for hot pipe making includes a plurality of plug pieces which is attachable to and detachable from one another, and a connection member which connects the plug pieces by a magnetic force. One of the plug pieces connected to each other includes a column-shaped portion which extends in an axis direction of the plug for hot pipe making, and the other includes a joining hole which extends in the axis direction of the plug for hot pipe making and into which the column-shaped portion is inserted. The connection member is a permanent magnet which is attached to at least one of the column-shaped portion and the joining hole.
1. A plug for hot pipe making which is used in hot pipe making of a seamless pipe, the plug comprising:
a pair of plug pieces which is attachable to and detachable from one another; and
a connection member which connects the plug pieces,
wherein one of the plug pieces includes a column-shaped portion which extends in a direction of an axis of the plug for hot pipe making, and the other of the plug pieces includes a joining hole which extends in the direction of the axis of the plug for hot pipe making and into which the column-shaped portion is inserted, and
wherein the connection member is a permanent magnet which is attached to at least one of the column-shaped portion and the joining hole.
2. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 1 ,
wherein cross-sectional shapes of the column-shaped portion and the joining hole are circles.
3. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 1 or 2 ,
wherein the connection member is attached to a surface of an outer circumference of the column-shaped portion of one of the plug pieces, and
wherein the joining hole is formed in a ferromagnetic body which is at least a portion of the other of the plug pieces.
4. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 3 ,
wherein one or more connection members are disposed around the axis of the plug for hot pipe making in the surface of the outer circumference of the column-shaped portion.
5. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 3 ,
wherein the connection member is attached at a position away from an end of the column-shaped portion.
6. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 3 ,
wherein a groove is formed on surface the surface of the outer circumference of the column-shaped portion, and
wherein the connection member is fitted to the groove so that a gap is generated between a surface of the connection member and an opening surface of the groove.
7. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 1 or 2 ,
wherein the connection member is attached to an end surface of the column-shaped portion of one of the plug pieces, and
wherein the joining hole is formed in a ferromagnetic body which is at least a portion of the other of the plug pieces.
8. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 7 ,
wherein a mounting hole is formed on the end surface of the column-shaped portion, and
wherein the connection member is inserted into the mounting hole so that a gap is generated between a surface of the connection member and an opening surface of the mounting hole.
9. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 1 or 2 ,
wherein the connection member is attached to a surface of an inner circumference of the joining hole of the other of the plug pieces, and
wherein at least the column-shaped portion of one of the plug pieces is formed by a ferromagnetic body.
10. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 9 ,
wherein one or more connection members are disposed around the axis of the plug for hot pipe making in the surface of the inner circumference of the joining hole.
11. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 9 ,
wherein the connection member is attached at a position away from an opening end of the joining hole.
12. The plug for hot pipe making according to claims 9 ,
wherein a groove is formed on the surface of the inner circumference of the joining hole, and
wherein the connection member is fitted to the groove so that a gap is generated between a surface of the connection member and an opening surface of the groove.
13. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 1 or 2 ,
wherein the connection member is attached to a bottom surface of the joining hole of the other of the plug pieces, and
wherein at least the column-shaped portion of one of the plug pieces is formed by a ferromagnetic body.
14. The plug for hot pipe making according to claim 13 ,
wherein a mounting hole is formed on the bottom surface of the joining hole, and
wherein the connection member is inserted into the mounting hole so that a gap is generated between a surface of the connection member and an opening surface of the mounting hole.
