る。[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a tube connecting device that is attached to ribs or protrusions provided on the outer surface of a structure and connects and holds multiple tubes in a communicating state. be.

（従来技術）上記したようなチユーブの連結装置は、例えば

すようなものがあつた。(Prior Art) The above-mentioned tube coupling device is used, for example, in a washing tank of an automobile, and the conventional structure is as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

ユーブの接続部２，３を有するパイプ状を成して
おり、ほぼ中央部分には鍔４が形成してある。 That is, the tube connector 1 has a pipe shape with tube connecting portions 2 and 3 at both ends thereof, and a collar 4 is formed approximately at the center.

軸部分を挿通する取付孔６が設けてある。 Further, a rib 5 formed on the outside of the washer tank (not shown) is provided with a mounting hole 6 through which the shaft portion of the tube connector 1 is inserted.

ル側のチユーブ８を接続する構成となつていた。 Then, one side of the tube connector 1 is attached to a rib 5.
It is inserted into the mounting hole 6 from either direction, and the tube 7 on the drive pump side is connected to one connection part 2, and the tube 8 on the cleaning liquid injection nozzle side is connected to the other connection part 3. It was becoming.

あるため、チユーブ７がねじれる恐れがあるなど
の問題点があつた。 However, in the conventional tube connecting device as described above, as is clear from the structure of the tube connecting device 1, the connecting device 1 alone cannot be attached to the rib 5. In addition, for example, when only the tube 7 on the drive pump side is attached when transporting from the factory, the tube 7 is press-fitted into the connection part 2 while being turned left and right, so the rib 5 is in between and the connection is made. The tool 1 must be held firmly, making the work difficult. Since the connector 1 is rotatable with respect to the mounting hole 6, there is a problem that the tube 7 may be twisted.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a tube connecting device that facilitates the connecting work and does not make the connecting tool unrotatable to cause twisting of the tube.

なつている。(Structure of the invention) The structure of the tube connecting device according to this invention is such that when a plurality of tubes are connected and held in a communicating state by a plate-shaped part such as a rib or a protrusion provided on the outer surface of the structure, both ends are connected to the tubes. The pipe-shaped shaft section is provided with two flanges spaced apart from each other at an appropriate interval, and a joint section that connects the two flanges, and the plate-shaped section has a diameter smaller than that of the shaft section. A shaft fitting hole is formed with a width opening toward the edge, and the shaft portion is fitted into the shaft fitting hole with the plate-shaped portion positioned between the two flanges. During installation, the joint part comes into contact with the end surface of the plate-like part, thereby restricting the rotation of the shaft part.

（実施例）以下、この考案を図面に基づいて説明する。(Example) This invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

る。 That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the tube connector 10 has a pipe shape with tube connecting portions 11 and 12 at both ends, and the shaft portion 13 is provided with an appropriate interval. Two Tsuba 14,1
5, a joint portion 16 that connects the flanges 14 and 15, and a reinforcing portion 16a are integrally molded.

１６の上面を加圧するようになつている。 Note that the joint portion 16 and the reinforcing portion 16a are
The cross-section of the two integral parts forms a T-shape, and the upper surface of the joint part 16 on the outer circumferential side of both the flanges 14 and 15 is pressurized.

Since the joint part 16 contacts the end surface of the rib 17 and the reinforcing part 16a is interposed in the opening of the shaft fitting hole 18, the shaft part 13 does not rotate and the width of the opening part is equal to that of the shaft part. Since it is smaller than the diameter of 13, it will not come off easily.

る。 Note that, as explained in the above embodiment, the reinforcing portion 1
6a is made into a T-shaped cross section, and the joint portion 1 is connected to the outer peripheral side of both the collars 14 and 15.
Since it is attached by applying pressure to the top surface of 6,
For example, attachment of the tube connector 10 by hand can be made extremely easy. Further, since the rotation of the shaft portion 13 is restricted by the joint portion 16 coming into contact with the end surface of the rib 17, a configuration may be possible in which the reinforcing portion 16a is not provided, depending on the case.

Because of the structure, only the tube connector can be attached to the plate-like part, so when connecting a tube to only one side, for example, there is no need to hold down the connector like in the past, which improves work efficiency. can be improved. Further, since the tube connector cannot be rotated after being attached, there is an advantage that the connected tubes will not be twisted.
