- the upper part 2A and the lower part 2B are joined by a fastener S1 at the ends in the circumferential direction of the fluid pipe K.
- a fastener S1 consisting of a bolt and a nut is used as the fastener S1, but it is also possible to join them by welding instead.
- the valve box gasket 4 is made of an elastic material such as rubber, and is arranged in an annular shape between the upper member 2A and the outer peripheral surface of the fluid pipe K, in a position surrounding the through hole K1 formed in the fluid pipe K.

- the valve shaft 30 is connected to the base end (upper end; end in the opposite direction to the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3) of the rod-shaped portion 80, and the screw top is screwed together by the rotation of the threaded valve shaft 30, allowing the moving member 8 to move up and down.
- the second seal member 7 is provided at the tip (lower end; end in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3) of the rod-shaped portion 80.
- the second seal member 7 is a seal member provided separately from the first seal member 5, and is formed in a circular shape when viewed from a line of sight parallel to the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the fixed member 9 is a member that prevents the movable member 8 from coming out of the support member 6. It closes a part of the storage chamber 63 (described later) of the support member 6 into which the movable member 8 is inserted (see FIG. 4).
- the fixed member 9 is fixed to the support member 6 with a fastener S2 such as a bolt, but the method of fixing the fixed member 9 to the support member 6 can be changed as appropriate.
- the first seal member 5 has a first seal portion 50 for sealing the edge of the through hole K1.
- the first seal portion 50 has an annular portion that follows the edge of the through hole K1.
- the annular portion of the first seal portion 50 is formed to be larger than the through hole K1.
- the first seal member 5 has a second seal portion 51 that can deform in the radial expansion direction D3 to seal the inner wall of the fluid pipe K in the radial expansion direction D3.
- the radial expansion direction D3 is perpendicular to the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3 and expands outward in the radial direction of the fluid pipe K.
- the second seal portion 51 expands (deforms) in the radial expansion direction D3 when pressed by the moving member 8, and becomes larger than the inner diameter of the through hole K1, thereby closely adhering to the inner wall of the fluid pipe K in the radial expansion direction D3.
- the first seal member 5 has a U-shaped portion connected to the annular portion.
- the second seal portion 51 is provided in a lateral portion of the U-shaped portion.
- the first seal member 5 has a third seal portion 52 for sealing the inner wall of the fluid pipe K in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the third seal portion 52 is provided at the bottom of the U-shaped portion of the first seal member 5 (the end portion of the valve body 3 in the insertion direction D2).
- the third seal portion 52 is pressed in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3 by the pressing portion 64 (described later) of the support member 6, thereby coming into close contact with the inner wall of the fluid pipe K in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the support member 6 has an annular first groove 60 that accommodates part of the annular portion of the first seal member 5, and a second groove 61 that accommodates part of the U-shaped portion of the first seal member 5.
- the first groove 60 is formed on the outer periphery of the support member 6 so as to be annular about the valve body axis that is parallel to the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the second groove 61 is formed on a pair of side portions and the bottom of the support member 6.
- the tip of the first seal member 5 (third seal portion 52) is fixed to the pressing portion 64 of the support member 6.
- the third seal portion 52 and the pressing portion 64 can be fixed by any fixing means such as fixing with a bolt or fixing with an adhesive.
- fixing with a bolt a bolt protruding upward is fixed to the annular portion constituting the third seal portion 52 by adhesive or fitting, a bolt hole penetrating vertically through the pressing portion 64 is opened, and the upward bolt of the third seal portion 52 is passed through the bolt hole of the pressing portion 64 from below and fixed.
- the lower end portion (third seal portion 52) of the U-shaped portion of the first seal member 5 in the first embodiment is easily affected by the pressure of the fluid going from the upstream to the downstream of the fluid pipe K when the valve body 3 is opened and closed, and the lower end portion (third seal portion 52) of the first seal member 5 is easily detached from the support member 6. By fixing the third seal portion 52 to the pressing portion 64 of the support member 6, this detachment can be suppressed or prevented.
- the pair of first openings 63a of the support member 6 accommodate a portion of the second seal portion 51.
- the support member 6 has a pair of second regulating surfaces 66 (see Figures 4, 7, and 8).
- the pair of second regulating surfaces 66 sandwich at least a portion of the second seal portion 51 disposed in the pair of first openings 63a from both the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3.
- the pair of second regulating surfaces 66 regulate the deformation of the second seal portion 51 toward the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3. This makes it easier to deform the second seal portion 51 toward the outside in the pipe diameter direction of the fluid pipe K (diameter expansion direction D3).
- a communication passage 53 is formed in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, communicating with the upstream and downstream of the valve body 3. This communication passage 53 is closed by the movement of the moving member 8 relative to the support member 6 in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- a third opening 54 is formed at the end of the first seal member 5 in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, opening in three directions, the upstream and downstream of the valve body 3 and the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the third opening 54 forms the communication passage 53.
- the third opening 54 of the first seal member 5 and the second opening 63b of the support member 6 are in communication.
- the second seal member 7 provided at the tip of the rod-shaped portion 80 of the moving member 8 advances through the third opening 54 and the second opening 63b, and the second seal member 7 comes into close contact with the inner wall of the fluid pipe K in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, and the communication passage 53 is closed.
- ⁇ Method of assembling the valve device> As shown in Fig. 4, the support member 6 is inserted into the first seal member 5, and the first seal member 5 is supported by the support member 6. Next, the movable member 8 is inserted into the inside (accommodation chamber 63) of the support member 6. The pair of protruding pieces 81 of the movable member 8 are fitted into the pair of slits 63c in the accommodation chamber 63. The pair of slits 63c allows the movable member 8 to slide relative to the support member 6 without rotating. Next, the fixed member 9 is attached to the support member 6 using a fastener S2, so that the movable member 8 does not come off the support member 6. This completes the valve body 3 of the valve device 1.
- the moving member 8 moves downward relative to the support member 6 while the support member 6 is stopped, and the moving member 8 presses the inner portion 51a of the second seal portion 51 in the radial expansion direction D3 and the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the movement of the inner portion 51a of the second seal portion 51 in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3 is restricted by the first restricting surface 65 of the pressing portion 64 of the support member 6.
- the inner portion 51a of the second seal portion 51 is sandwiched from both the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3 by a pair of second restricting surfaces 66. Therefore, the second seal portion 51 is easily deformed in the radial expansion direction D3, and as shown in FIG.
- the second seal portion 51 deforms in the radial expansion direction D3, and the gap that existed on the side of the valve body 3 is closed.
- the communication passage 53 is in an open state. If the communication passage 53 is already blocked when the second seal portion 51 closes the gap, the second seal portion 51 must also deform against the pressure of the fluid, which may require a large operating force on the valve stem 30 or may prevent the second seal portion 51 from properly closing the gap. However, the communication passage 53 is open until the second seal portion 51 has completely closed the gap, so the second seal portion 51 can properly close the gap.
- the timing at which the communication passage 53 is closed can be adjusted by the length of the rod-shaped portion 80 of the moving member 8.
- the movable member 8 moves upward relative to the support member 6, and the second seal member 7 provided on the movable member 8 moves from a state in which it had been blocking the communication passage 53 to a state in which it opens it. Furthermore, as the opening operation of the valve body 3 continues, the second seal portion 51 contracts in diameter. At this time, the communication passage 53 opens before the second seal portion 51 deforms, so the opening operation can be performed smoothly.
- valve device 1 of the second embodiment The operation of the valve device 1 of the second embodiment will be described.
- the valve body 3 assembled by the above-mentioned assembly method of the valve device 1 is inserted into the fluid pipe K, and the first seal portion 50 is brought into close contact with the edge of the through hole K1.
- the moving member 8 further advances in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, and the moving member 8 presses the first seal member 5 and the support member 6, and the third seal portion 52 is pressed against the bottom wall of the fluid pipe K.
- the fluid pipe K is not blocked, and the two side gaps of the second seal portion 51 are open, and the flow of the fluid is not stopped.
- the moving member 8 moves downward relative to the support member 6 with the support member 6 stopped, and the moving member 8 presses the inner portion 51a of the second seal portion 51 in the radial expansion direction D3 and the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the inner portion 51a of the second seal portion 51 is restricted from moving in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3 by the first restricting surface 65 of the pressing portion 64 of the support member 6.
- the inner portion 51a of the second seal portion 51 is sandwiched from both the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3 by a pair of second restricting surfaces 66. Therefore, the second seal portion 51 is easily deformed in the radial expansion direction D3, and as shown in FIG. 10, the second seal portion 51 deforms in the radial expansion direction D3, closing the gap that existed on the side of the valve body 3.
- the second seal portion 51 is expanded in diameter and is less likely to deform.
- pressing is performed with a moving member 8 separate from the support member 6, so appropriate deformation of the second seal portion 51 is possible.
- the fluid pipe K is a water pipe, but is not limited to this.
- the first seal member 5 has a shape in which an annular portion and a U-shaped portion are joined together, and the support member 6 is open (not covered) on both the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3, but the shape of the first seal member 5 can be changed as appropriate.
- the first seal member 5 may cover the support member 6 from both the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3.
- the rubber hardness of the first seal portion 50 is softer than the rubber hardness of at least a portion of the second seal portion 51, but this is not limited to the above.
- the hardness of the first seal portion 50 and the second seal portion 51 may be the same.
- the interface between the high hardness portion and the low hardness portion of the first seal member 5 can be changed as appropriate.
- the valve device 1 includes the valve body 3 that can be inserted into the fluid pipe K through a through hole K1 formed in the fluid pipe K, and the valve body 3 includes a first seal member 5 having a first seal portion 50 for sealing the edge of the through hole K1 and a second seal portion 51 that is deformable in a radial expansion direction D3 perpendicular to the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3 and expands outward in the radial direction of the fluid pipe K in order to seal the inner wall of the fluid pipe K, a support member 6 that supports the first seal member 5, and a support member 6 that is deformable in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- a communication passage 53 that communicates with the upstream and downstream of the valve body 3 is formed, and the communication passage 53 is blocked by the movable member 8 that moves relative to the support member 6 in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3.
- the second seal portion 51 is expanded in diameter and is less likely to deform.
- pressing is performed with the moving member 8 separate from the support member 6, so that the second seal portion 51 can be appropriately deformed.
- the communication passage 53 is closed by the movable member 8, it is possible to control the timing of closing the communication passage 53 after the second seal portion 51 has been accurately deformed in the radial expansion direction D3 first.

- the second seal portion 51 is more likely to deform in the radial expansion direction D3 without deforming in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, making it possible to more appropriately achieve close contact of the second seal portion 51 with the inner wall of the fluid pipe K.
- the first seal member 5 may be fixed to the pressing portion 64 . According to this configuration, when the valve body 3 is opened or closed, it is possible to prevent the first seal member 5 from falling off the support member 6 due to the influence of the pressure of the fluid flowing from the upstream to the downstream of the fluid pipe K.
- the support member 6 may have a pair of second regulating surfaces 66 that sandwich at least a portion of the second seal portion 51 from both the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3, and the pair of second regulating surfaces 66 may regulate deformation of the second seal portion 51 toward the upstream and downstream sides of the valve body 3.
- the second seal portion 51 is more likely to deform in the radial expansion direction D3 without deforming upstream or downstream of the valve body 3, making it possible to more appropriately achieve close contact of the second seal portion 51 with the inner wall of the fluid pipe K.

- the valve device 1 described in [5] above may have an opening (third opening 54) that opens in three directions, namely, upstream and downstream of the valve body 3 and in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, formed at the end of the first seal member 5 in the insertion direction D2 of the valve body 3, and the opening (third opening 54) forms a communicating passage 53.
- This is a preferred embodiment for blocking the communication passage 53.
- At least a part of the second seal portion 51 may be harder than the first seal portion 50. According to this configuration, sealing by the first seal portion 50 and sealing by the second seal portion 51 can be appropriately achieved.

図4に示すように、第1シール部材5に支持部材6を挿入して、第1シール部材5を支持部材6に支持させる。次に、支持部材6の内部(収容室63)に移動部材8を挿入する。移動部材8の一対の突出片81が収容室63内の対のスリット63cに嵌るようにする。一対のスリット63cによって移動部材8が回転せずに支持部材6に対してスライド移動可能となる。次に、締結具S2を用いて固定部材9を支持部材6に取り付け、移動部材8が支持部材6から抜けないようにする。これにより、弁装置1の弁体3が完成する。
上記弁装置の組立方法によって組み立てた弁体3を、図3に示すように、流体管K内に挿入させて、図9に示すように、第1シール部50を貫通孔K1の縁に密着させる。弁軸30の操作を継続すると、移動部材8が更に弁体3の挿入方向D2に進み、移動部材8が第1シール部材5及び支持部材6を押圧し、第3シール部52が流体管Kの底壁に押し付けられる。この時、流体管Kは閉塞されておらず、第2シール部51の側方2箇所の隙間と、連通路53が開放されており、流体の流れは止まっていない。
第2実施形態について、図12を用いて説明する。第2実施形態は、第1実施形態と比べて、連通路53が設けられておらず、そのために、移動部材8が連通路53を閉塞せず、第2シール部材7が設けられていない。それ以外の構成は、第1実施形態と同じである。
(A)上記実施形態では、流体管Kは水道管であるが、これに限定されない。
以上のように、特に限定されないが、第1及び第2実施形態のように、弁装置1は、流体管Kに形成された貫通孔K1から流体管K内に挿入可能な弁体3を備え、弁体3は、貫通孔K1の縁をシールするための第1シール部50と、流体管Kの内壁をシールするために弁体3の挿入方向D2に直交し且つ流体管Kの管径方向外側へ拡がる拡径方向D3に変形可能な第2シール部51とを有する第1シール部材5と、第1シール部材5を支持する支持部材6と、弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動可能な移動部材8と、を有し、移動部材8が弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動することで、移動部材8が第2シール部51を押圧して第2シール部51を拡径方向D3に変形させることが可能であり、第1シール部材5における弁体3の挿入方向D2には、弁体3の上流と下流とに連通する連通路53が形成されており、連通路53は、弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動する移動部材8によって閉塞される、としてもよい。
また、移動部材8によって連通路53を閉塞するので、第2シール部51の拡径方向D3への変形を的確に先に実施した後で、連通路53を閉塞するタイミングの制御が可能となる。その結果、第2シール部51が閉塞する時点では、連通路53が閉塞されておらず開いた状態にすることで、流体の圧力が第2シール部51の閉塞を阻害することを回避でき、第2シール部51の閉塞に必要な力を低減可能となり、第2シール部51の適切な変形が可能となる。
上記[1]に記載の弁装置1であって、第1シール部材5は、流体管Kにおける弁体3の挿入方向D2の内壁をシールするための第3シール部52を有し、支持部材6は、第3シール部52を弁体3の挿入方向D2へ押圧する押圧部64を有し、押圧部64は、移動部材8によって押圧される第2シール部51の内側部位51aが弁体3の挿入方向D2に移動することを規制する第1規制面65を有する、としてもよい。
この構成によれば、第2シール部51が弁体3の挿入方向D2に変形せずに拡径方向D3に変形しやすくなり、第2シール部51による流体管Kの内壁への密着をより適切に実現可能となる。
上記[2]に記載の弁装置1であって、第1シール部材5は、押圧部64に固定されている、としてもよい。
この構成によれば、弁体3の開閉時に、流体管Kの上流から下流に向かう流体の圧力の影響を受けて、第1シール部材5が支持部材6から脱落することを回避可能となる。
上記[1]~[3]のいずれかに記載の弁装置1であって、支持部材6は、第2シール部51の少なくとも一部を弁体3の上流及び下流の両側から挟む一対の第2規制面66を有し、一対の第2規制面66は、第2シール部51が弁体3の上流及び下流へ向けて変形することを規制する、としてもよい。
この構成によれば、第2シール部51が弁体3の上流または下流へ変形せずに拡径方向D3に変形しやすくなり、第2シール部51による流体管Kの内壁への密着をより適切に実現可能となる。
上記[1]~[4]のいずれかに記載の弁装置1であって、移動部材8は、第1シール部材5とは別個に形成された第2シール部材7を有し、第2シール部材7が連通路53を閉塞する、としてもよい。
この構成によれば、第1シール部材5と同一のシール部材を変形させるわけではないので、連通路53を閉塞しやすくなる。
上記[5]に記載の弁装置1であって、第1シール部材5の弁体3の挿入方向D2の端部に、弁体3の上流と下流及び弁体3の挿入方向D2の三方向に開く開口(第3開口54)が形成されており、開口(第3開口54)が連通路53を形成している、としてもよい。
連通路53を閉塞するための好ましい一実施形態である。
上記[1]~[6]のいずれかに記載の弁装置1であって、第2シール部51の少なくとも一部は、第1シール部50よりも硬い、としてもよい。
この構成によれば、第1シール部50によるシールと第2シール部51によるシールとを適切に実現可能となる。
特に限定されないが、第1及び第2実施形態のように、弁装置1の施工方法は、流体管Kに形成された貫通孔K1から流体管K内に弁体3を不断流状態で挿入させる弁装置1の施工方法であって、弁体3は、貫通孔K1の縁をシールするための第1シール部50と、流体管Kの内壁をシールするために弁体3の挿入方向D2に直交し且つ流体管Kの管径方向の外側へ拡がる拡径方向D3に変形可能な第2シール部51とを有する第1シール部材5と、第1シール部材5を支持する支持部材6と、弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動可能な移動部材8と、を有し、第1シール部材5における弁体3の挿入方向D2には、弁体3の上流と下流とに連通する連通路53が形成されており、弁体3を流体管K内に挿入させて、第1シール部50を貫通孔K1の縁に密着させることと、移動部材8を弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動させ、移動部材8で第2シール部51を押圧して第2シール部51を拡径方向D3に変形させることと、第2シール部51の変形の後、更に弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動する移動部材8によって連通路53を閉塞することと、を含む、としてもよい。
特に限定されないが、第1及び第2実施形態のように、弁装置1の組立方法は、流体管Kに形成された貫通孔K1から流体管K内に挿入可能な弁体3を備える弁装置1の組立方法であって、貫通孔K1の縁をシールするための第1シール部50と、流体管Kの内壁をシールするために弁体3の挿入方向D2に直交し且つ流体管Kの管径方向の外側へ拡がる拡径方向D3に変形可能な第2シール部51とを有する第1シール部材5を支持部材6に支持させることと、弁体3の挿入方向D2に支持部材6に対して相対的に移動可能な移動部材8を支持部材6の内部に挿入することと、移動部材8が支持部材6から抜けることを抑制する固定部材9を支持部材6に取り付けることと、を含む、としてもよい。
