としたマンホールのステップ取付用インサートの埋設固
定方法に関するものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method of burying and fixing an insert for installing a cough step when the step is installed in a manhole side wall mass of a manhole, and a method for burying and fixing the insert safely, reliably, and firmly. This invention relates to a method for embedding and fixing an insert for attaching a step in a manhole with the aim of improving workability.

するステップが固着されているが、従来のステップは、

と、成形後にマンホールの壁に貫通された孔にステップ
を後から取り付ける方法との2方法が知られている。Generally, steps are fixed to the inner wall of this type of manhole to allow workers to enter and exit.
Two methods are known: one is to embed the steps integrally during molding of the manhole, and the other is to install the step into a hole penetrated through the manhole wall after molding.
まず前者の方法は安全性において何ら問題は無いが、ス

なる。First of all, the former method does not pose any safety problems, but the formwork where the steps are attached is fine and requires a lot of time to assemble, making it difficult to take pictures when compacting the concrete. As a result, the joints of the formwork tend to become misaligned, and the molded product's no-da (skin) traps tumble, and marks of misalignment (misalignment) at the joints of the formwork occur, resulting in a poor appearance.

タル等の充填材を挿入するものである。The latter is a method devised to solve the appearance and workability of the former, but this method involves drilling a through hole in the manhole wall with a diameter approximately larger than the foot diameter of the step. After inserting the step leg directly into the manhole, bolts and nuts are tightened from the outside of the manhole, and this tightening involves inserting a filling material such as mortar around the manhole.
この方法は貫通孔の径がステップの脚部径より大である

性化が誘引され、このためステップが腐食して抜は出る
という危険性があった。In this method, the diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the leg of the step, so the entire step becomes unstable and is insufficient in terms of stable maintenance.The outer filling material is prone to cracking, and the inside and outside of the manhole There was a risk of water leakage, which induced harmful acidification, which could corrode the steps and lead to leakage.
この様に従来の方法は、安全性、確実性、強固性及び作
業性において種々の欠点が存在していた。As described above, the conventional methods have various drawbacks in terms of safety, reliability, robustness, and workability.

供することにある。The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional methods, and to provide a method for burying inserts for installing steps in manholes, which is particularly useful when forming concrete by roll compaction or centrifugal forming using only the outer frame as the formwork. The purpose is to provide a fixing method.

定保持される。Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to drawings. First, an outer frame 1 is formed as a mold for forming manholes 16a and 16b, and small holes 2 are bored at predetermined positions in this outer frame 1. A central hole 4 is formed approximately at the center of the reinforcing member 3 in a penetrating shape. Here, in the first basic step, the small hole 2 of the outer frame 1 and the center hole 4 of the reinforcing member 3 are positioned so that they are in communication, and the reinforcing member 3 is fixed to the surface 1a of the outer frame 1 by means such as welding. do. In the embodiments shown in FIG. 4 and below, the reinforcing member 3
Although only one reinforcing member 8 is shown in the figure, since there are two leg parts 20 in the step 19, a corresponding number of insert members 8 are naturally required. 3.Although a pair is required, only one of them is shown in the drawing for convenience. Further, if the pair of insert members 8, 8 are connected to each other by a flat parr 12, the insert members can be held more stably during concrete formation.

する。Then, in the insertion process, the male threaded part 7 of the insertion member 6 is screwed into the female threaded part 5 formed on the inner circumferential wall of the central hole 4 of the reinforcing member 3, and the male threaded part 7 is inserted through the central hole 4 and the small hole 2. The tip 6a of the insert member 6 is positioned inside the outer frame. It is preferable to attach a nut or the like to the portion of the insert member 6 that protrudes toward the front side of the reinforcing member 30 so as to conveniently rotate the insert member 6 with a spanner or the like. Further, a washer 13 is inserted between the reinforcing member 3 and the insertion member 6.

がある。At the tip 6a of the insert member 6, which has been pressed into position inside the outer frame in the above-mentioned insertion step, is a locking screw portion 14 (either a male thread or a female thread may be used, and a female thread is shown as an example in the figure).
is formed, the cylindrical insert member 8 is inserted from the tip 6a of the insertion member 6 in the temporary fixing step, and in this state, the plug member 9 is engaged with the engagement screw portion 14 of the tip 6a. The threaded portion 15 is screwed together and the tip opening 8a of the insert member 8 is closed with a plug member 9 to prevent concrete from entering, and the insert member 8 is stably held at a predetermined position inside the outer frame. It is preferable that the tip surface has a rounded shape. In this case, when rolling force from the rolls is applied to the plug member, the pressure can be dispersed, which has the effect of preventing damage to the plug member or the insert member.

程を完了する。After filling the outer frame with concrete in this state, the screwing state between the insert member 6, the plug member 9, and the reinforcing member 3 is released before the concrete completely hardens, and in this state, the insert member 6 or a separate dowel pin is removed. 10, tap the plug member 9 from the inside of the insert member and insert it into the manhole 16.
a, cracks 11 are formed in the concrete between the inside of 16b and the plug member 9 to serve as a mark for specifying the position, and the pounding process is completed.
ここでノックピン10によシ叩打する場合には、第5図

しておくと都合が良い。If the dowel pin 10 is to be used for striking, it is convenient to form a through hole 17 in the center of the insertion member 60 as shown in FIG.

すものである。In step b, in the removal step, the concrete in the cracked part is curetted using an appropriate jig to expose the tip of the plug member 9, and the key part 18 provided at the tip of the plug member is used. The plug member is pulled out toward the inside of the manhole 16a16b, and the outer frame 1 is removed from the manhole through a demolding process.

部旬とインサート部材8との完璧な固定が可能となる。Since the present invention embeds and fixes the insert member in concrete by the method described above, the legs 20 in step 19 are filled with a filling material 22 made of mortar, milk cement, etc.
When the step is inserted into the insert member 8, the removal stop plate 21, which is provided in advance in the insert member, engages with the recessed notch part of the leg portion 20, and the inserted step is prevented from being removed from the insert member. In addition, some of the filler 22 packed tightly into the insert member overflows from the insert member, so you can check its appearance and the condition of the filler inside the insert member, and the condition of the filler 22 in step 19. Perfect fixation between the insert member 8 and the insert member 8 becomes possible.

キング材23を充填して両者の結合を一層強固にする。After the legs of the step are inserted into the insert member, caulking material 23 is filled in the entrance gap between the legs and the insert member as necessary to further strengthen the connection between the two.

も考えられる。Furthermore, a through hole 17 is formed in the insert member 6 according to the required pressure, and this hole is used not only for inserting the dowel pin 10 but also for removing the insert member when the pressure inside the insert member decreases and the insert member is not pulled out. This is provided to prevent this from becoming difficult, and it is also conceivable that the insertion member 6 be tapered to make it easier to pull out.

有する。As explained in detail above, the method of embedding and fixing an insert for installing a step in a manhole according to the present invention allows the insert member to be safely and securely placed at a predetermined position inside the hole side wall of the manhole.
It can be buried securely and firmly, and its workability is extremely good.The step inserted into this insert member is held and fixed in an extremely stable state, which prevents workers from falling. It has excellent effects such as:
