Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is used to connect a fluid pipe installed inside the wall of a building that passes fluids such as hot water or gas to an indoor unit such as a heating appliance. Regarding fixing blocks for connectors used in fluid outlets installed on the walls of buildings, etc., in detail, even if the case is installed with the case distorted within the wall, the connector stored in the case can still be plugged in from the room. This invention relates to a fixing block having a structure whose position is adjusted to ensure reliable connection with a plug.

(Prior Art and Purpose of the Invention) The present inventor has provided a fluid outlet for use in a system for piping a fluid pipe into a building through which a fluid such as hot water or gas passes. That is,
This outlet is connected to case 1 as shown in Figure 1.
and an L-shaped connector 2 stored inside the case 1.
and a fixing block 3 for fixing the connector 2. The connector is clamped and fixed within the case 1 by attaching a fixing block 3 that is placed over the case 1 from above.

By the way, when such a fluid outlet is installed inside a wall, it is usually fixed by tying it with wire to the supporting steel bars in the wall, but it can be damaged by the impact caused by concrete pouring. If the case is buried in a warped manner, or even if the case is not placed in a concrete wall, if the case is screwed to a batten and the screws are not placed in the correct position, the case may become distorted diagonally. It may be installed in the same condition. In such cases, the connector housed inside the case is also fixed in a distorted state, and if an outlet cover with the same shape as the plug inserted from the room is installed, a secure connection with the plug can be ensured. I can't. Also, since the plug can be connected diagonally even without an outlet cover,
It doesn't look good either.

The present invention was developed in view of these circumstances, and the present inventor has proposed an adjustment structure that allows the case of the fluid outlet to be adjusted to fit the connection with the plug even if it is installed in a distorted state. The purpose is to provide a fixing block for the connector.

(Structure of the invention) In other words, the connector fixing block according to the present invention is a fixing block for fixing an L-shaped connector used in a fluid outlet housed in a case, and the connector is not attached to the fixing block. It is characterized by comprising a holding part that holds the connector, and an attachment part that can change the attachment position to the case in order to arrange the connector held by the holding part at a predetermined position.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained according to an example shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a case, 2 is a connector, and 3 is a case.
is a fixed block.

The case 1 is formed into a box shape, and one side of the case 1 is provided with an opening 11 for accommodating the connector 2, and has a space inside for accommodating the connector 2. The side wall of the case 1 is provided with an insertion hole 12 into which a fluid pipe 40 installed in the wall of the building is inserted. One end of a protective tube 41 is fitted into the insertion hole 12 with a stopper 42 . Reference numeral 13 denotes a screw hole into which a screw for attaching the fixing block is screwed.

The case 1 is fixed using support steel bars in the wall, other construction members, and the like.

The connector 2 is made of metal and has an L-shape, and has a plug insertion port 21 at one end and a fluid pipe connection port 2 at the other end.
It has 2. This connector 2 is standardized and commercially available. Note that the fluid pipe connection port 22
A cap nut 23 having a metal sleeve inside is screwed onto the cap nut 23, and by tightening the cap nut 23, the fluid pipe 40 is held down by the metal sleeve and connected.

The fixed block 3 has an insertion hole 32 in the front wall 31 through which the plug insertion port 21 of the connector 2 is inserted.
This allows one end of the connector 2 to be rotatably held. In the case of the present invention, the structure of such a holding part is not limited to this. Further, a notch 34 is formed in the side wall 33 of the fixed block 3, through which the fluid pipe connection port 22 of the L-shaped connector 2 can pass. This notch 34 is formed wider than the pipe diameter of the fluid pipe connection port 22 of the connector 2, and allows the connector 2 to rotate around the direction of the plug insertion port 21 of the connector 2. The direction of the pipe connection port 22 is changed to facilitate connection with the fluid pipe 40. 37 is a locking piece for locking the plug inserted into the outlet.

Further, the bottom wall 35 of the fixing block 3 is provided with a screw insertion hole 36 into which a screw 15 for attaching the fixing block 3 to the case 1 is inserted. The screw insertion hole 36 is formed into a long hole so that the screw shaft can move laterally when the screw 15 is inserted therethrough. Therefore, the fixing block 3 can be moved and attached to the inner wall of the case 1 within the range in which the screw shaft can move.

Here, an example of the mounting state of the connector 2 in the above embodiment will be explained based on FIG. 2. Second
The figure shows a case where the case 1 is installed at an angle of θ degrees with respect to the reference line 50. In this case, if you try to arrange the fixing block 3 in the same way as if the case 1 were not tilted, the screws of the case 1 The mounting hole 13 must be shifted by θ degrees from the connecting line 51, but since the screw insertion hole 36 of the fixing block 3 is formed as a long hole, the threading hole 13 of the case 1 must be shifted by θ degrees from the connecting line 51.
Even if the fixing block 3 is arranged θ degrees with respect to the case 1, the screw insertion hole 36 and the screw hole 13 of the case 1 can be aligned. Therefore, the screw 15 is passed through the screw insertion hole 36 and the screw hole 13 in the inner wall of the case 1 is inserted.
The fixing block 3 can be attached to the case 1 by screwing into the case 1. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, one end of the connector 2 on the plug insertion port 21 side is held rotatably, and the notch 34 through which the fluid pipe connection port 22 of the connector 2 passes is connected to the fluid pipe of the connector 2. Since it is formed wider than the pipe diameter of the connection port 22, the fluid pipe connection port 22 of the connector 2 can be easily connected to the fluid pipe 40 by directing it toward the insertion hole of the case 1.

In the embodiment described above, both of the two screw insertion holes 36 of the fixed block 3 are formed as elongated holes, but in addition, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, one of the screw insertion holes 36 is formed as a round hole. and the other screw insertion hole 36
may be formed by a long hole. Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the fixing block 3 may be formed with a zigzag-shaped elongated hole so that the fixing block 3 can be moved laterally. Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a screw insertion hole 36 is provided in the center of the fixed block 3, and the fixed block 3 is structured to be able to rotate around the screw shaft of the screw 15 inserted through the hole. Figures 10 and 11
As shown in the figure, the screw insertion hole 36 may be formed as a vertically elongated hole so that the upper and lower fixing blocks 3 can be moved.

Now, a fluid outlet to which such a fixing block of the connector 2 is applied is used, for example, in a concrete wall as shown in FIG. 12. In other words, after burying Case 1 in a concrete wall,
Insert the plug insertion port 21 of the connector 2 into the insertion hole 32 which is the holding part of the fixed block 3, and then
The bottom wall 35 of the fixing block 3 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the case 1 so that the fixing block 3 is placed in a predetermined position while the fixing block 3 is held by the fixing block 3.
5 through the screw insertion hole 36 and screwed into the screw hole 13 on the inner wall of the case 1 to attach it to the case 1, thereby attaching the fluid pipe outlet to the concrete wall.

Note that when the outlet is used, an outlet cover 60 is provided in the opening 11 of the case 1.
is attached, and a plug 70 is inserted through the opening 61 of the outlet cover 60.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, the present invention provides a fixing block for fixing an L-shaped connector housed in a case, a holding part for holding the connector, and a connector held by the holding part in a predetermined position. By providing an attachment part that allows you to change the attachment position to the case, even if the case is installed in a distorted manner, the plug insertion port of the connector can be kept in its normal straight position. The mounting position of the connector can be adjusted and placed in the specified position. Therefore, it is possible to reliably connect the plug inserted from inside the room.
