Pipe connection device for repairs
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a pipe connection device for repairs that connects first and second pipes by extending a length of inner and outer connection pipes, wherein the first and second pipes are connected using the inner and outer connection pipes in a state in which the inner and outer connection pipes are fixed while extended to be proportional to a length between the first and second pipes by a detachment preventing protrusion being caught in and fixed to a detachment preventing groove while an inner catching step is caught on an outer catching step to limit sliding.
1 . A pipe connection device for repairs, the pipe connection device comprising:
an inner connection pipe ( 100 ), which has a hollow shape whose front and rear portions are open and has a connection pipe ( 101 ) formed at one end in order to be inserted into a first pipe (P 1 ) cut to have a predetermined length, a detachment preventing groove ( 101 a ) formed to be recessed along an outer surface of the connection pipe ( 101 ), and a pipe expanding part ( 102 ) formed to expand at a rear end of the connection pipe ( 101 ) and forming an outer catching step ( 102 a ) between the connection pipe ( 101 ) and the pipe expanding part ( 102 ); and
an outer connection pipe ( 200 ), which has a hollow shape whose front and rear portions are open, is inserted and coupled to surround an outer surface of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ), and has a detachment preventing protrusion ( 202 ) formed to protrude along an inner circumferential surface of one end to correspond to the detachment preventing groove ( 101 a ) and be caught in and fixed to the detachment preventing groove ( 101 a ), the other end fastened to surround an outer surface of a second pipe (P 2 ), which is cut and faces the first pipe (P 1 ), to connect the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) and the second pipe (P 2 ), and an inner catching step ( 201 ) formed on an inner circumferential surface in order to be caught on the outer catching step ( 102 a ) and prevent the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) from being inserted to a predetermined depth or more into the outer connection pipe ( 200 ).
2 . The pipe connection device of claim 1 , wherein:
the detachment preventing groove ( 101 a ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) is formed as a plurality of detachment preventing grooves ( 101 a ) spaced apart at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction of the outer surface of the inner connection pipe ( 100 );
and the detachment preventing protrusion ( 202 ) of the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) is formed as a plurality of detachment preventing protrusions ( 202 ) that are proportional to the number of detachment preventing grooves ( 101 a ), spaced apart at predetermined intervals, and caught in the detachment preventing grooves ( 101 a ).
3 . The pipe connection device of claim 1 , wherein the detachment preventing groove ( 101 a ) is formed to be recessed in a polygonal shape to allow the detachment preventing protrusion ( 202 ) to be inserted thereinto and prevent the detachment preventing protrusion ( 202 ) from being detached.
4 . The pipe connection device of claim 2 , wherein the detachment preventing groove ( 101 a ) is formed to be recessed in a polygonal shape to allow the detachment preventing protrusion ( 202 ) to be inserted thereinto and prevent the detachment preventing protrusion ( 202 ) from being detached.
5 . The pipe connection device of claim 1 , wherein the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) further includes a limiting step part ( 203 ) configured to force the other end of the pipe expanding part ( 102 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) to be caught on a rear end of the inner catching step ( 201 ) to block the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) from moving backward toward the other end of the outer connection pipe ( 200 ).
6 . The pipe connection device of claim 5 , wherein the limiting step part ( 203 ) further includes:
an inclined surface portion ( 203 a ) formed to extend to be inclined downward from the inner circumferential surface of the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) toward a central portion thereof to guide the pipe expanding part ( 102 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) to move over the inclined surface portion ( 203 a ); and
a perpendicular surface portion ( 203 b ) formed to be perpendicular from a tip of the inclined surface portion ( 203 a ) toward the inner circumferential surface of the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) to cause the other end of the pipe expanding part ( 102 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) to come in close contact with and be caught on the perpendicular surface portion ( 203 b ).
7 . The pipe connection device of claim 1 , wherein the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) further includes an insertion limiting step ( 204 ) formed to be recessed from an inner circumferential surface of a rear end toward an outer circumferential surface thereof and allow the second pipe (P 2 ) to be caught thereon to limit a depth to which the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) is inserted toward the second pipe (P 2 ).
8 . The pipe connection device of claim 1 , wherein:
the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) has a first O-ring ( 301 ) formed in a gap between the connection pipe ( 101 ) and the first pipe (P 1 ) to prevent a fluid from leaking through the gap between the first pipe (P 1 ) and the connection pipe ( 101 ); and
the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) has a first O-ring ( 301 ) formed in a gap with the second pipe (P 2 ) to prevent the fluid from leaking through the gap with the second pipe (P 2 ).
9 . The pipe connection device of any one of claim 1 , wherein a second O-ring ( 302 ) is installed in a gap between the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) and the connection pipe ( 101 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) and a gap between the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) and the pipe expanding part ( 102 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) to prevent the fluid from leaking through the gaps between the inner and outer connection pipes ( 100 , 200 ).
10 . The pipe connection device of any one of claim 8 , wherein a second O-ring ( 302 ) is installed in a gap between the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) and the connection pipe ( 101 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) and a gap between the outer connection pipe ( 200 ) and the pipe expanding part ( 102 ) of the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) to prevent the fluid from leaking through the gaps between the inner and outer connection pipes ( 100 , 200 ).
11 . The pipe connection device of claim 1 , wherein the inner connection pipe ( 100 ) further includes an adapter ( 103 ), which has a hollow shape whose front and rear portions are open and has one end inserted and fastened to surround an outer surface of the first pipe (P 1 ) and the other end into which one end of the connection pipe ( 101 ) is allowed to be inserted and fastened to connect the first pipe (P 1 ) and the connection pipe ( 101 ).
