Conventionally, pipe joints have been used to connect fluid tubes to fluid pressure equipment such as cylinders. The pipe joint includes a tubular joint main body, and a ring-shaped seal member is mounted therein, and a flow channel pipe that is adjacent to the seal member and inserted into the joint main body. A latching claw for latching is provided. And, when the flow channel pipe is inserted from one end side of the joint main body, a seal member having a substantially rectangular cross section comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface thereof to prevent fluid leakage through the outer peripheral side of the flow channel pipe, The locking claw bites into the outer peripheral surface of the flow channel pipe and is prevented from coming off (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-140697
However, in the pipe joint of Patent Document 1, when the fluid is supplied from the other end side of the joint body part and flows to the flow pipe connected to the other end side, the seal member is locked by the fluid. By being pressed toward the claw side and pressing the locking claw, the depth of biting into the flow path pipe is increased. Therefore, when the supply of fluid is stopped and the flow channel tube is removed from the joint body, it may be difficult to remove the flow channel tube due to excessive biting of the locking claws.
In addition, when the flow channel pipe is attached to the joint main body, the seal member may be deformed and moved by being pressed by the flow channel tube. In this case, the contact portion with the flow channel pipe moves. Since there is no space to do so, deformation of the contact portion is hindered, resulting in resistance when the flow channel tube is inserted.
Further, in a state where the flow path pipe is attached to the joint main body, the seal member is pressed and moved by the fluid flowing in the joint main body, so that the seal member contacts the outer peripheral surface of the flow path pipe. There is a concern that the area is reduced and the sealing performance is lowered.
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-described problems, and provides a pipe joint capable of improving workability when attaching or detaching a tube to or from a body and improving sealability. The purpose is to do.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a body into which a tube is inserted, and a chuck that is provided inside the body and holds the tube on the body by engaging with an outer peripheral surface of the tube. A guide member for guiding the chuck along the axial direction, a packing provided inside the body for maintaining airtightness between the body and the tube, and the chuck when the tube is removed. In a pipe joint comprising a release member to be detached from
The packing has a main body formed in an annular shape,
A seal portion that protrudes radially inward with respect to the main body portion and abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the tube;
A width dimension of the seal portion along the axial direction of the body is set to be smaller than a width dimension of the main body portion, and the chuck includes a claw portion formed at one end portion and inserted into the tube. A locking portion formed on the other end side and bent outward in the radial direction, wherein the locking portion is engaged with the guide member, and the claw portion is not in contact with the seal portion. Placed in contact ,
The guide member is formed at one end on the packing side, reduced in the radial inward direction, and formed at the other end side with a front end portion whose front end is folded back toward the other end portion side. is a bent been rear end portion is formed in a circular cross-section toward the radially inward direction, characterized in Rukoto.
According to the present invention, the body constituting the pipe joint includes a main body portion formed in an annular shape, and a seal portion that protrudes radially inward with respect to the main body portion and contacts the outer peripheral surface of the tube. Packing is provided, and the width dimension of the seal portion is set smaller than the width dimension of the main body portion along the axial direction of the body.
Therefore, since the seal portion is formed narrower than the main body portion, the tube is compared with the packing applied to the conventional pipe joint and having the main body portion and the seal portion formed with the same width dimension. The contact area of the seal part with respect to the outer peripheral surface is reduced. As a result, when the tube is attached to the body, the contact resistance with the seal portion is reduced, and the tube can be smoothly attached to the body. In addition, since the rigidity of the packing is lower than that of the conventional packing, when the tube is attached to the body, the seal portion is preferably deformed, and the deformed seal portion is disposed on the side of the seal portion. To the space part of As a result, when the tube is attached to the body, the seal portion pressed by the tube can be preferably moved in a direction away from the tube, so that the seal portion hinders the movement of the tube. The tube can be easily mounted.
Furthermore, since the contact area between the outer peripheral surface of the tube and the seal portion is small as compared with the conventional packing, the pressing force applied to the tube from the seal portion increases, and as a result, the tube It is possible to improve the sealing performance against.
Furthermore, in order to detach the tube from the body, the chuck is separated from the tube by pressing the chuck in a direction away from the tube by a release member and releasing the locking state of the tube by the chuck. Since it can be moved to the space provided between the main body part and the seal part constituting the packing, the contact between the chuck and the packing can be avoided. As a result, when the tube is detached from the body, the trouble that the chuck and the packing come into contact with each other and the tube cannot be unlocked by the chuck is avoided, and the tube can always be reliably removed from the body. Moreover, since the operating force at that time is reduced, it can be easily removed.
Still further, since the seal portion is formed with a cross-sectional shape that tapers from the main body portion toward the inner peripheral side, the contact area between the seal portion and the tube can be suitably reduced. The contact resistance at the time of insertion or removal can be reduced, and the pressing force applied from the seal portion to the tube can be further increased, so that the sealing performance can be further improved.
Moreover, it is good to form a seal | sticker part in cross-sectional triangle shape.
Furthermore, the tube is formed in the body by forming the seal portion at an inclination angle that is in a range of 80 ° to 100 ° with respect to an intersection at which one inclined surface and the other inclined surface constituting the cross-sectional shape intersect. Therefore, it is possible to suitably balance the operating force when inserting or removing from the seal and the sealing performance by packing.
Further, the tube is inserted into or removed from the body by forming the seal portion at an inclination angle of 90 ° with respect to the intersection where one inclined surface and the other inclined surface constituting the cross-sectional shape intersect. It is possible to achieve an optimal balance between the operating force at the time and the sealing performance by packing.
Further, by arranging the packing adjacent to the claw portion of the chuck inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the tube, the claw when the tube is locked by the claw portion of the chuck is released by the release member. The portion can be suitably accommodated in a space portion between the main body portion and the seal portion. As a result, the claw portion can be reliably separated from the outer peripheral surface of the tube, and the claw portion can be reliably and easily removed from the body without hindering the tube from being detached. it can.
That is, a packing provided with an annularly formed main body portion and a seal portion that protrudes radially inward with respect to the main body portion and contacts the outer peripheral surface of the tube is provided inside the body constituting the pipe joint. By setting the width dimension of the seal portion to be smaller than the width dimension of the main body portion along the axial direction of the body, the contact area of the seal portion with the outer peripheral surface of the tube is reduced. As a result, the body Since the contact resistance with the seal portion is reduced when the tube is attached to the tube, the tube can be smoothly attached to the body. In addition, since the contact area between the outer peripheral surface of the tube and the seal portion is small compared to the packing used in the conventional pipe joint, the pressing force applied to the tube from the seal portion increases, and accordingly The sealing property for the tube can be improved.
Further, in order to detach the tube from the body, the chuck is separated from the tube by pressing the chuck with a release member in a direction away from the tube, and releasing the locking state of the tube by the chuck. Since it can be moved to the space portion provided between the main body portion and the seal portion constituting the packing, the contact between the chuck and the packing can be avoided. As a result, when the tube is detached from the body, the tube is securely released from the state of being locked by the chuck, and the tube can be reliably and easily removed from the body.

It is an expanded sectional view which shows the state by which the tube for fluids was inserted and latched with respect to the pipe joint of FIG.
Preferred embodiments of the pipe joint according to the present invention will be described below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 indicates a pipe joint according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pipe joint 10 includes a cylindrical body 12 bent from a resin material into a substantially L shape, and the inside of the body 12 extends along the body 12. Thus, a fluid passage 14 through which the fluid flows is formed. The fluid passage 14 opens on the one end 12a and the other end 12b side of the body 12 and communicates with the outside.
One end 12a of the body 12 is fitted with an adapter 16 used when connecting the pipe joint 10 to another device S. On the other hand, the other end 12b of the body 12 is fitted with a fluid tube (tube). ) 18 is inserted, and a connection passage 22 that connects the opening 20 and the fluid passage 14 is formed. The body 12 described above is not limited to being formed from a resin material, and may be formed from a metal material such as stainless steel, for example.
The opening 20 is formed with substantially the same diameter, and is connected to and communicates with a connection passage 22 whose diameter is reduced radially inward with respect to the opening 20. In addition, the connection passage 22 communicates with the fluid passage 14 that is further reduced in diameter relative to the connection passage 22. A boundary portion 24a between the opening 20 and the connection passage 22 is formed in a stepped shape, and a boundary portion 24b between the connection passage 22 and the fluid passage 14 is also formed in a stepped shape. The fluid tube 18 is inserted into the connection passage 22 from the other end portion 12b of the body 12 through the opening 20, and is brought into contact with and locked to a boundary portion 24b between the connection passage 22 and the fluid passage 14. .
The fluid passage 14 extends so that the middle of the one end portion 12 a and the other end portion 12 b of the body 12 bends in a substantially L shape corresponding to the shape of the body 12.
On the other hand, the opening 20 has an annular packing 26, a chuck 28 for locking the fluid tube 18 inserted into the body 12, a guide 30 engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20, A release bush (release member) 32 that is displaceable along the guide 30 is provided.
The outer peripheral surface of the body 12 on the one end portion 12a side is formed such that a portion where the adapter 16 is mounted is recessed inward in the radial direction. When the adapter 16 is inserted, the protrusion 16a protruding radially inward from the inner peripheral surface thereof bites into the outer peripheral surface of the one end portion 12a, so that the adapter 16 is fixed. An annular seal member 33 is mounted on the lower surface of the adapter 16, and prevents fluid from leaking outside between the adapter 16 and the other device S by contacting the upper surface of the other device S. Is done.
Further, an O-ring 35 is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the adapter 16 via an annular groove, and the O-ring 35 abuts on the outer peripheral surface of the one end portion 12a of the body 12, whereby the adapter 16 and the body 12 are contacted. Fluid leakage is reliably prevented through the gap between the two.
As shown in FIG. 3, the packing 26 is formed, for example, from an elastic material such as rubber so as to have a substantially T-shaped cross section, and is disposed in the opening 20 so as to be in contact with the boundary 24 a with the fluid passage 14. . The packing 26 includes a main body portion 34 having a rectangular cross section, a bulging portion 36 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 34 and in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20, and an inner portion of the main body portion 34. And a seal portion 38 that protrudes from the peripheral surface and slidably contacts the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18.
The main body 34 is disposed so that one side surface thereof is in contact with the boundary portion 24a and the other side surface is on the other end 12b side (direction of arrow A) of the body 12, and the inner peripheral surface and outer peripheral surface thereof are It is provided so as to be substantially parallel to the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20.
The bulging portion 36 is formed in a substantially semicircular cross section, protrudes radially outward at a predetermined height with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 34, and is formed in an annular shape along the outer peripheral surface. Further, the bulging portion 36 is formed at a substantially central portion along the width direction (arrow A, B direction) of the main body portion 34. And since the bulging part 36 is contact | abutting to the internal peripheral surface of the opening part 20, the outer peripheral surface of the main-body part 34 is spaced apart with the predetermined spacing with respect to the said internal peripheral surface.
As shown in FIG. 3, the seal portion 38 is formed in a substantially triangular cross section and protrudes radially inward at a predetermined height with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 34. The seal portion 38 is formed in a circular shape along the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 34 that is formed in a circular shape at the front end portion and in a circular shape. The seal portion 38 is formed at a substantially central portion along the width direction (the directions of arrows A and B) of the main body portion 34. That is, the width dimension W1 of the seal portion 38 is set smaller than the width dimension W2 of the main body portion 34 (W1 <W2). In other words, in the packing 26, the seal portion 38 is formed narrower than the main body portion 34. Thereby, in the vicinity of the packing 26, spaces E (see FIG. 4) respectively facing the inner peripheral side of the main body portion 34 and both side portions of the seal portion 38 are defined.
Further, the seal portion 38 is disposed so as to be substantially in a straight line with the bulging portion 36 in the packing 26 in the radial direction.
The seal portion 38 has an imaginary line extending from the two inclined surfaces 38a, 38b toward the inner peripheral side, and an inclination angle θ with respect to the intersection P intersecting each other is, for example, 80 ° to 100 °. It is formed to be within the range (80 ° ≦ θ ≦ 100 °). Furthermore, it is optimal to set the inclination angle θ to 90 ° (θ = 90 °).
In addition, this packing 26 is not limited to the case where it forms from an elastic material as mentioned above, For example, you may make it form from resin-made materials. That is, when the packing 26 is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18, the material can prevent leakage of fluid between the body 12 and the fluid tube 18. That's fine.
For example, the chuck 28 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape by pressing a thin plate material, and is formed at one end portion thereof and inclined at the radially inward direction, and is formed at the other end portion and radially outward. And an engaging portion 42 that is bent toward the front. Further, a first slit 44 is formed on one end portion side of the chuck 28 and is cut out by a predetermined length toward the other end side (direction of arrow A). The first slit 44 is formed around the periphery of the chuck 28. A plurality (for example, four) are provided at equal intervals along the direction.
On the other hand, on the other end side of the chuck 28, a second slit 46 is formed by cutting out at a predetermined length toward the one end side (in the direction of arrow B). A plurality (for example, four) are provided at equal intervals along the direction.
That is, the first slits 44 and the second slits 46 are alternately provided along the circumferential direction of the chuck 28.
One end of the chuck 28 can be radially reduced through the first slit 44 while the other end of the chuck 28 can be radially reduced through the second slit 46. It becomes. Thereby, the nail | claw part 40 and the latching | locking part 42 which comprise the chuck | zipper 28 are formed elastically so that diameter expansion and diameter reduction are possible.
The tip of the claw portion 40 is formed in a blade shape so that it can be inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18.
Similar to the chuck 28 described above, the guide 30 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by pressing a thin plate material, for example, and is disposed so as to contact the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20. One end of the guide 30 is arranged in the opening 20 so as to be on the packing 26 side (in the direction of arrow B), and is slightly reduced in diameter in the radial direction, and at the tip end on the other end side (in the direction of arrow A). A front end portion 48 is formed that is turned back toward (). Further, the other end portion of the guide 30 is disposed at the end portion of the opening portion 20, and a rear end portion 50 is formed that is bent in a circular cross section toward the radially inward direction.
The front end portion 48 is bent in the radially outward direction and is inserted into a groove portion 52 (see FIG. 5) formed on the inner peripheral surface of the body 12. As a result, when the guide 30 is inserted into the opening 20 of the body 12, the guide 30 is in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20, and the end of the front end portion 48 is engaged with the groove 52 so that the axis 30 The displacement along the direction (arrow A, B direction) is fixed in a regulated state.
Further, a chuck 28 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the front end portion 48, and the locking portion 42 of the chuck 28 abuts on the end portion of the front end portion 48, thereby the chuck 26 side of the chuck 28 ( Displacement in the direction of arrow B) is restricted.
On the other hand, the rear end portion 50 is disposed so as to be substantially at the same position as the other end portion 12b of the body 12, and the outer peripheral surface of the release bush 32 is in sliding contact with the inner peripheral side thereof. That is, the rear end portion 50 constituting the guide 30 functions as a guide means that can guide the displacement along the axial direction of the release bush 32.
As described above, the guide 30 regulates the displacement of the chuck 28 along the axial direction (arrows A and B directions) and guides the release bush 32 along the axial direction.
The release bush 32 is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape from a resin material, and one end side thereof is inserted into the guide 30 and the inner peripheral side of the chuck 28 at the opening 20. A tapered portion 54 that bulges outward in the radial direction and gradually decreases in diameter toward the distal end side is formed at one end portion, and the tapered portion 54 is provided so as to face the claw portion 40 in the chuck 28.
Further, a flange portion 56 whose diameter is increased in the radially outward direction is formed at the other end portion of the release bush 32, and the outer peripheral diameter of the flange portion 56 is formed larger than that of the opening portion 20.
Furthermore, a through hole 58 is formed in the release bush 32 so as to penetrate along the axial direction (arrow A, B direction) and through which the fluid tube 18 is inserted. The inner peripheral diameter of the through hole 58 is slightly larger than the outer peripheral diameter of the fluid tube 18 and is formed to have a substantially constant diameter.
The pipe joint 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is basically configured as described above. Next, the operation and effects thereof will be described. The pipe joint 10 is in a state in which one end thereof is screwed and fixed in advance to another device S (see FIG. 1) via the adapter 16.
When the fluid tube 18 is not attached to the pipe joint 10 shown in FIG. 1, the fluid tube 18 connected to a fluid pressure device or the like (not shown) is passed from the opening 20 to the through hole 58 of the release bush 32. The end face of the fluid tube 18 is brought into contact with the boundary portion 24b of the body 12 (see FIG. 4).
At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the packing 26 is pressed toward the one end 12 a side (in the direction of arrow B) of the body 12 by the insertion force of the fluid tube 18. The seal portion 38 that is slidably contacted with the fluid tube 18 is pressed forcibly so as to approach toward the boundary portion 24a (in the direction of arrow B).
Compared with the packing used for the conventional pipe joint, the packing 26 is thinned between the inner peripheral side of the main body 34 and the side of the seal portion 38, and therefore the rigidity of the packing 26 is low. The deformed seal portion 38 can be suitably moved to the space E provided between the seal portion 38 and the boundary portion 24a.
As a result, when the fluid tube 18 is inserted into the body 12, the seal portion 38 deformed by contact with the fluid tube 18 can be moved, and the insertion of the fluid tube 18 is not hindered. The fluid tube 18 can be smoothly inserted.
Further, when the fluid tube 18 is inserted into the packing 26, the packing 26 is pressed radially outward, and the bulging portion 36 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the opening 20 and deformed. Thereby, the airtightness between the body 12 and the packing 26 is reliably maintained. At the same time, the seal 26 is formed so that the seal portion 38 formed in a triangular cross section is in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18 and the seal portion 38 is crushed by the pressing force from the fluid tube 18. Due to the deformation, the airtightness between the packing 26 and the fluid tube 18 is reliably maintained.
Further, since the seal portion 38 of the packing 26 has a smaller contact area with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18 than the packing used in the conventional pipe joint, the fluid tube 18 is used as the seal portion 38. The resistance at the time of insertion while sliding is reduced, and the pressing force of the contact portion with respect to the outer peripheral surface increases with the reduction of the contact area, so that the sealing performance is enhanced.
On the other hand, one end of the chuck 28 is expanded radially outward by the fluid tube 18, and the claw portion 40 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18. After that, when the fluid tube 18 is slightly pulled in the direction away from the other end portion 12b of the body 12 (arrow A direction), the claw portion 40 that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18 It is inserted into the outer peripheral surface under a tensile action. As a result, the fluid tube 18 is securely locked to the body 12 of the pipe joint 10 by the claw portion 40 of the chuck 28 inserted into the outer peripheral surface thereof (see FIG. 4).
Then, by supplying the fluid to the body 12 through another device S connected to the one end portion 12 a of the body 12, the fluid flows along the fluid passage 14 to the other end portion 12 b side of the body 12. The fluid flowing into the connection passage 22 flows to the outside of the body 12 through the inside of the fluid tube 18. At this time, the packing 26 is in contact with the opening 20 of the body 12 through the bulging portion 36 and is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18 through the seal portion 38. The fluid is reliably prevented from leaking through the tube 18.
On the other hand, when the fluid tube 18 described above is detached from the pipe joint 10, the flange portion 56 of the release bush 32 is pressed toward the body 12 (in the direction of arrow B) to displace the release bush 32. The taper portion 54 presses the claw portion 40 of the chuck 28 and moves the claw portion 40 in a direction in which the claw portion 40 is detached from the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18. That is, the claw portion 40 is pushed up in the radially outward direction so as to be separated from the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18.
At this time, since the packing 26 adjacent to the claw portion 40 has a shape in which only the seal portion 38 protrudes toward the inner peripheral surface side with respect to the main body portion 34, when the claw portion 40 moves in the radially outward direction, Contact with the packing 26 is avoided (see FIG. 6). Specifically, since the packing 26 is thinned between the inner peripheral side of the main body portion 34 and the side of the seal portion 38, the claw portion 40 is movably disposed in the space E, The pressure on the packing 26 by the claw portion 40 is suppressed, and the resistance when the claw portion 40 is detached can be surely reduced.
In other words, the packing 26 has an escape portion that can avoid contact with the claw portion 40 when the claw portion 40 of the chuck 28 pressed by the release bush 32 moves in the radially outward direction.
As a result, the other end of the chuck 28 is forcibly pushed outward in the radial direction by the release bush 32, and the claw portion 40 inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the fluid tube 18 becomes the outer periphery of the fluid tube 18. The locked state of the fluid tube 18 by the chuck 28 is released away from the surface.
Then, the fluid tube 18 is removed from the pipe joint 10 by pulling the fluid tube 18 in a direction in which the fluid tube 18 is separated from the other end portion 12 b of the body 12 (arrow A direction). That is, when the claw portion 40 of the chuck 28 is pressed and released from the fluid tube 18 by the release bush 32, the packing 26 adjacent to the claw portion 40 and the claw portion 40 do not come into contact with each other. The portion 40 can be reliably and easily detached from the fluid tube 18.
As a result, compared with the conventional pipe joint in which the chuck 28 comes into contact with the packing 26 and the claw portion 40 is not completely detached, the operation force when the fluid tube 18 is removed from the body 12 is reduced, and it is simple. Can be removed.
Next, a pipe joint 100 according to a second embodiment is shown in FIGS. In addition, the same referential mark is attached | subjected to the component same as the pipe joint 10 which concerns on 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and the detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
In the pipe joint 100 according to the second embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the body 102 is formed of, for example, a metal material and is formed in a straight line along the axial direction. This is different from the pipe joint 10 according to the first embodiment.
The pipe joint 100 is provided with a threaded portion 104 such as a pipe (not shown) connected to an outer peripheral surface of one end portion 102a of the body 102, and a thinned caulking portion 106 at the other end portion. After the guide 108 is formed and inserted into the opening 20 of the body 102, the guide 108 is integrally caulked by deforming the caulking portion 106 inward in a radial direction with a caulking jig (not shown). It is done.
In addition, a substantially hexagonal cross section is formed at a substantially central portion along the axial direction (arrows A and B directions) of the body 102. For example, it is used when the pipe joint 100 is connected to piping or the like using a tool (not shown). A tightening nut portion 110 is formed.
The guide 108 is formed in a cylindrical shape from, for example, a metal material, and one end portion on the body 102 side (in the direction of arrow B) expands radially outward through the inclined portion, and the other end portion of the body 102 It is fixed by crimping to 102b. On the other hand, the other end of the guide 108 is provided so as to protrude from the opening 20 of the body 102 to the outside, and is bent so as to wrap around the inner periphery.
Further, a cylindrical ring body 112 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the guide 108, and one end thereof is bent outward in the radial direction. Then, the outer edge portion of the ring body 112 is fixed by being sandwiched between the crimping portion 106 and the one end portion of the guide 108 in the body 102. The ring body 112 gradually decreases in diameter from one end to the other end and is substantially parallel to the axis of the body 102.
Inside the ring body 112, the chuck 28 is inserted, and the claw portion 40 is provided so as to be on the one end portion 102 a side (arrow B direction) of the body 102, and the locking portion 42 is provided on the other side of the ring body 112. It is provided so as to be on the end side (arrow A direction). Then, the engagement portion 42 bent in the radially outward direction comes into contact with the other end portion of the ring body 112, so that the displacement of the chuck 28 toward the one end portion 102a side (arrow B direction) of the body 102 is restricted. The The packing 26 is provided on the one end 102a side (in the direction of arrow A) of the body 102 with respect to the chuck 28.
On the other hand, the release bush 114 is formed into a substantially cylindrical shape by, for example, pressing a thin plate material, and one end portion thereof is inserted into the body 102 and the other end portion is bent radially outward. As a result, the flange 116 having an enlarged diameter is formed. The flange portion 116 is provided so as to be exposed to the outside of the body 102.
In the second embodiment configured as described above, in the pipe joint 100 made of a metal material and having a straight body 102 along the axial direction (arrows A and B directions), the main body portion 34, By using the packing 26 provided with a seal portion 38 protruding in a triangular cross section on the inner peripheral side with respect to the main body portion 34 and a bulging portion 36 protruding on the outer peripheral side of the main body portion 34, the fluid tube 18 is used. Is inserted into the body 102, the contact area between the seal portion 38 and the fluid tube 18 is reduced as compared with the packing used in the conventional pipe joint. Therefore, the fluid tube 18 is connected to the seal portion 38. In addition to reducing the resistance when inserting while sliding, the pressing force from the seal portion 38 against the outer peripheral surface increases as the contact area decreases, so that the sealing performance can be improved. The ability.
Further, when removing the fluid tube 18 locked to the body 102 by the chuck 28, the release bush 114 is pressed to move the claw portion 40 of the chuck 28 in the radially outward direction. Since it is formed in a letter shape, the amount of contact between the claw portion 40 and the packing 26 adjacent to the claw portion 40 is reduced, and accordingly, when the claw portion 40 is detached from the fluid tube 18. The resistance can be reliably reduced, and the fluid tube 18 can be reliably and easily detached. As a result, the operating force when removing the fluid tube 18 from the body 102 is higher than that of a conventional pipe joint in which the chuck 28 is in contact with the packing 26 and the claw portion 40 is not completely detached. It is reduced and can be removed easily.
