Piercing tool
A piercing tool can be used by optionally replacing a distal end portion, which is to be first brought into abutment against an object to be pierced such as the ground, and can facilitate a replacement operation of the distal end portion. A piercing tool includes: a distal end portion, which has a cylindrical shape, and is to be first brought into abutment against an object; and a main body portion, which has a cylindrical shape at the main body portion, and has one end portion to which the distal end portion is mounted, wherein the distal end portion is removably mounted to the one end portion of the main body portion. The distal end portion has an inner peripheral surface having a female thread formed at an end portion of the distal end portion on a side to be mounted to the main body portion.
1. A piercing tool, comprising:
a distal end portion, which has a cylindrical shape, and is to be first brought into abutment against an object; and
a main body portion, which has a cylindrical shape at at least a part of the main body portion, and has one end portion to which the distal end portion is mounted,
wherein the distal end portion is removably mounted to the one end portion of the main body portion, and has an inner peripheral surface having a female thread formed at an end portion of the distal end portion on a side to be mounted to the main body portion,
wherein the main body portion has an outer peripheral surface having a male thread formed so as to be engaged with the female thread at the end portion of the main body portion on a side to which the distal end portion is mounted,
wherein the distal end portion has a Rockwell hardness higher than a Rockwell hardness of the main body portion,
wherein the male thread includes an incomplete thread portion formed in an inner end portion area away from the one end portion of the main body portion, and
wherein the incomplete thread portion is a portion that engages with a part of the female thread of the distal end portion in a non-normal state, and is formed in a shape in which valleys of the male thread become shallower as being away from the one end portion of the main body portion.
2. The piercing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the Rockwell hardness of the distal end portion is set within a range of from 59 or more and 64 or less, and the Rockwell hardness of the main body portion is set within a range of from 50 or more and 56 or less.
3. The piercing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the main body portion includes:
a wall surface portion that stops the end portion of the distal end portion through contact, and
an outer peripheral surface portion having a groove shape in which the male thread is absent between the wall surface portion and the male thread.
4. The piercing tool according to claim 1 , wherein the main body portion includes an outer peripheral surface portion having a cylindrical shape in which the male thread is absent at the end portion on the side to which the distal end portion is mounted, and the distal end portion includes an inner peripheral surface portion having an annular shape into which the outer peripheral surface portion having the cylindrical shape is fitted on a far side of the female thread in the inner peripheral surface in which the female thread is formed.
5. The piercing tool according to claim 1 , wherein an outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion has an injection hole for injecting an adhesive, which penetrates through the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion, formed in an area in which the female thread is present.
6. The piercing tool according to claim 1 , wherein an outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion has a hook hole for inserting a projection of a hook spanner.
7. The piercing tool according to claim 1 , further comprising, as the distal end portion, a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in one or both of a size and a shape of an opening of a distal end port to be first brought into abutment against the object, or a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in a material.
8. The piercing tool according to claim 2 , further comprising, as the distal end portion, a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in one or both of a size and a shape of an opening of a distal end port to be first brought into abutment against the object, or a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in a material.
9. The piercing tool according to claim 3 , further comprising, as the distal end portion, a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in one or both of a size and a shape of an opening of a distal end port to be first brought into abutment against the object, or a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in a material.
10. The piercing tool according to claim 4 , further comprising, as the distal end portion, a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in one or both of a size and a shape of an opening of a distal end port to be first brought into abutment against the object, or a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in a material.
11. The piercing tool according to claim 5 , further comprising, as the distal end portion, a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in one or both of a size and a shape of an opening of a distal end port to be first brought into abutment against the object, or a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in a material.
12. The piercing tool according to claim 6 , further comprising, as the distal end portion, a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in one or both of a size and a shape of an opening of a distal end port to be first brought into abutment against the object, or a plurality of distal end portions of different kinds that differ in a material.
