Description

本発明は、シール部材およびピストンロッドとシリンダとの間にシール部材を設けたガススプリングに関する。   The present invention relates to a gas spring in which a seal member is provided between a seal member and a piston rod and a cylinder.

従来、この種シール部材は、いわゆるガススプリングや油圧緩衝器のシリンダ内を密封状態下に保持するために使用されており、たとえば、ガススプリングや油圧緩衝器のシリンダと、シリンダに挿通されるピストンロッドとの間に配在され、シリンダ内方側に開口する凹部を有する環状に形成され、凹部を境としてピストンロッドに当接する内周側リップとシリンダに当接する外周側リップとを備えたUパッキンや、さらに、このUパッキンの内周側下方にピストンロッドに当接するダストリップを設けたものが知られている。   Conventionally, this type of sealing member has been used to keep the inside of a cylinder of a so-called gas spring or hydraulic shock absorber in a sealed state. For example, a cylinder of a gas spring or a hydraulic shock absorber and a piston inserted through the cylinder U which is arranged between the rod and is formed in an annular shape having a recess opening on the inner side of the cylinder, and includes an inner peripheral lip that contacts the piston rod and an outer peripheral lip that contacts the cylinder with the recess as a boundary. There is known a packing, and further, a dust lip which is in contact with a piston rod is provided below the inner periphery of the U packing.

そして、上述のシール部材を備えたガススプリングのシリンダ内にガスを封入する方法として、シリンダの上端開口部からガスを充填し、シリンダの上端開口部をプラグで塞ぐ方法(たとえば、特許文献1参照)があり、上述のシール部材を備えた油圧緩衝器のシリンダ内にガスを封入する方法として、ダストリップを押し開くパイプ状のスリーブを挿入しスリーブ内にガスを送り込み内周側リップを撓ませてできた内周側リップとピストンロッドとの間の隙間からシリンダ内にガスを封入する方法(たとえば、特許文献2参照)が提案されている。   And as a method of sealing gas in the cylinder of the gas spring provided with the above-mentioned sealing member, a method of filling gas from the upper end opening of the cylinder and closing the upper end opening of the cylinder with a plug (see, for example, Patent Document 1) As a method of sealing gas into the cylinder of the hydraulic shock absorber having the above-mentioned sealing member, a pipe-shaped sleeve that pushes the dust lip is inserted, gas is fed into the sleeve, and the inner peripheral lip is bent. A method has been proposed in which gas is sealed in a cylinder through a gap between the inner peripheral lip and the piston rod (for example, see Patent Document 2).

しかしながら、上記ガススプリングのシリンダ内にガスを封入する方法では、ガスを充填した後にプラグをシリンダ開口部に溶接等により蓋をする必要があるので、この点でガス封入費用が高価となり、また、油圧緩衝器のシリンダ内にガスを封入する方法ではピストンロッドとシール部材との間にスリーブを挿入する必要があるが、内径の小さいロッドガイドをシリンダ端部に配置するガススプリングには適用できない。   However, in the method of sealing the gas in the cylinder of the gas spring, it is necessary to cover the plug by welding or the like after the gas is filled, so that the gas sealing cost becomes expensive in this respect, In the method of enclosing gas in the cylinder of the hydraulic shock absorber, it is necessary to insert a sleeve between the piston rod and the seal member, but it cannot be applied to a gas spring in which a rod guide having a small inner diameter is arranged at the end of the cylinder.

そこで、近年ではシール部材を上記ダストリップを設けない、いわゆるUパッキンとして、スリーブを用いずにUパッキンの内周側にガスを送り込み、内周側リップを撓ませてできた内周側リップとピストンロッドとの間の隙間からシリンダ内にガスを封入する方法の提案がなされるに至っている。
特開平10−288235号公報(第2頁左欄第34行目から第37行目まで、図2(A)) 特開昭56−42733号公報(第3頁右上欄台9行目から第3頁右下欄第3頁目まで、図3)
Therefore, in recent years, the seal member is not provided with the above-mentioned dust lip, so-called U-packing, and an inner peripheral lip formed by feeding gas into the inner peripheral side of the U-packing without using a sleeve and bending the inner peripheral lip; Proposals have been made for a method of sealing gas into a cylinder through a gap between the piston rod and the piston rod.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-288235 (page 2, left column, lines 34 to 37, FIG. 2 (A)) JP-A-56-42733 (from page 9, upper right column 9th line to page 3, lower right column, third page, FIG. 3)

しかしながら、このような近年のガス封入方法でシリンダ内にガスを封入する場合には、従来のシール部材では、以下のような不具合を招来する可能性があると指摘される恐れがある。   However, when gas is sealed in the cylinder by such a recent gas sealing method, it may be pointed out that the conventional sealing member may cause the following problems.

すなわち、従来のシール部材では、ピストンロッドとシリンダとの間にシール部材を挿入するときに、シール部材がロッドガイドに対して傾いてしまう場合がある。すると、ロッドガイドとシール部材との間に隙間ができてしまい、ガスを封入するときに、シール部材の内周側リップのみにガス圧力を負荷することができずシール部材の底面にもガス圧力が負荷されてしまう。   That is, in the conventional seal member, when the seal member is inserted between the piston rod and the cylinder, the seal member may be inclined with respect to the rod guide. Then, a gap is formed between the rod guide and the seal member, and when gas is sealed, the gas pressure cannot be applied only to the inner peripheral lip of the seal member, and the gas pressure is also applied to the bottom surface of the seal member. Will be loaded.

そして、このガス圧力によりシール部材がシリンダ内方に向けて移動してしまい、途中リテーナ等によりシール部材の移動が規制されてもシール部材が全体にわたり軸方向に圧縮されて内周側リップをピストンロッドに強く押圧する事態となって、内周側リップとピストンロッドとの間に隙間が形成されず、ガスをシリンダ内に封入することができなくなってしまう場合がある。   The gas pressure causes the seal member to move toward the inside of the cylinder. Even if the movement of the seal member is regulated by a retainer or the like, the seal member is compressed in the axial direction over the whole, and the inner lip is pistoned. There is a situation in which the rod is strongly pressed, and no gap is formed between the inner peripheral lip and the piston rod, and gas cannot be sealed in the cylinder.

そこで、本発明は、上記不具合を改善するために創案されたものであって、その目的とするところは、確実にガスを封入することができるシール部材およびピストンロッドとシリンダとの間にこのシール部材を設けたガススプリングを提供することである。   Therefore, the present invention was devised to improve the above-described problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a seal member capable of reliably enclosing gas and this seal between the piston rod and the cylinder.

そして、第7の課題解決手段におけるガススプリングは、シリンダと、シリンダ内に摺動自在に挿入されシリンダ内を上室と下室とに区画するピストンと、ピストンに連結されたピストンロッドと、シリンダ端部に嵌合し軸心部にピストンロッドが挿通されるロッドガイドと、当該ロッドガイドのシリンダ内方側に向く面に着座し、シリンダとピストンロッドとの間をシールするシール部材とを備えたガススプリングにおいて、シール部材がシリンダ内方側に開口する凹部を有する環状に形成され、凹部を境としてピストンロッドに当接する内周側リップとシリンダに当接する外周側リップと、内周側リップのピストンロッドに当接する当接部とロッドガイドに対向する底部面との間の面の少なくとも一部に形成されたピストンロッドから遠ざかる傾斜面もしくは彎曲面と、を有してなり、シール部材のロッドガイドに対向する底部面を外周側より内周側が突出するように傾斜させたことを特徴とする。   The gas spring in the seventh problem solving means includes a cylinder, a piston that is slidably inserted into the cylinder and divides the cylinder into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, a piston rod connected to the piston, and a cylinder A rod guide that is fitted to the end and into which the piston rod is inserted into the shaft center, and a seal member that is seated on a surface of the rod guide facing the inner side of the cylinder and seals between the cylinder and the piston rod. In the gas spring, the seal member is formed in an annular shape having a recess that opens to the inner side of the cylinder, the inner peripheral lip that contacts the piston rod with the recess as a boundary, the outer peripheral lip that contacts the cylinder, and the inner peripheral lip It is far from the piston rod formed on at least a part of the surface between the abutting portion that abuts on the piston rod and the bottom surface facing the rod guide. It comprises a mowing inclined plane or curved surface, the inner peripheral side from the outer side bottom surface facing the rod guide of the sealing member is characterized in that is inclined so as to protrude.

各請求項の発明によれば、従来のシール部材のように一方部材と他方部材との間にシール部材を挿入するときに、シール部材がシート部材に対して傾いてしまう場合があっても、シール部材の突起部もしくは一方部材側のシート部材に対向する端部面もしくは底部面は、シート部材に着座しており、シート部材とシール部材との間は、その一方部材でシールされているから、シート部材とシール部材との間に隙間ができず、ガスを封入するときに、シール部材の一方部材側とシート部材との間がシールされていることから、シール部材の傾斜面もしくは彎曲面にガス圧力を負荷することがきる。したがって、シール部材のシート部材に対向する端部面もしくは底部面にもガス圧力が負荷されてしまう事態を招来することがないので、このガス圧力によりシール部材が移動してガスを一方部材と他方部材で作られる空間内に封入することができなくなってしまう事がない。すなわち、このシール部材にあっては、確実にガスを上記空間内に封入することができる。   According to the invention of each claim, even when the seal member may be inclined with respect to the sheet member when the seal member is inserted between the one member and the other member as in the conventional seal member, Since the projecting portion of the seal member or the end surface or the bottom surface facing the sheet member on one member side is seated on the sheet member, the sheet member and the seal member are sealed with the one member. Since there is no gap between the sheet member and the seal member, and when the gas is sealed, the seal member is sealed between the one member side and the sheet member. The gas pressure can be loaded. Therefore, the gas pressure is not applied to the end surface or the bottom surface of the seal member facing the sheet member. Therefore, the gas pressure causes the seal member to move so that the gas is moved from one member to the other. There is no possibility of being unable to enclose in a space made of members. That is, in this seal member, the gas can be reliably sealed in the space.

請求項4の発明によれば、特に、シール部材がUパッキン形状とされ、もともと傾斜面もしくは彎曲面を備えているので、少々の設計変更のみで確実にガスを封入することができ、シール部材を低コストで製造可能である。   According to the invention of claim 4, in particular, since the seal member has a U-packing shape and originally has an inclined surface or a curved surface, the gas can be reliably sealed with only a few design changes. Can be manufactured at low cost.

また、請求項5から請求項7の発明によれば、ガススプリングを組み立てた後にガスを封入する方法において、従来のシール部材では、ロッドガイドに対しシール部材が傾いて上記方法でガス封入が行えない状態となると不良品となってしまうが、本発明のシール部材およびこのシール部材を適用したガススプリングにあっては、確実にガスを封入できるので不良品の発生を防止できるので、製造歩留まりが向上する。したがって、この点で製造コストが向上するとともに、また、シール部材の底部に突起部等を設けるだけで、確実にガスを封入することができるので、低コストでガス封入を行える。   According to the inventions of claims 5 to 7, in the method of enclosing gas after assembling the gas spring, in the conventional seal member, the seal member is inclined with respect to the rod guide, and gas can be encapsulated by the above method. However, in the seal member of the present invention and the gas spring to which this seal member is applied, it is possible to reliably enclose gas, so that the production of defective products can be prevented. improves. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is improved in this respect, and the gas can be reliably sealed simply by providing a projection or the like at the bottom of the seal member, so that the gas can be sealed at a low cost.

請求項7の発明によれば、特に、シール部材をUパッキン形状とする場合には、もともと傾斜面もしくは彎曲面を備えているので、少々の設計変更のみで確実にガスを封入することができ、この点でシール部材を備えたガススプリングの製造コストをさらに低減できる。   According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, particularly when the sealing member has a U-packing shape, since it is originally provided with an inclined surface or a curved surface, gas can be reliably sealed with only a few design changes. In this respect, the manufacturing cost of the gas spring provided with the seal member can be further reduced.

本実施の形態の説明上、この発明がガススプリングに具現化された場合として以下詳細にこの発明について説明する。本発明が具現化されたガススプリングGの基本形態は、図1に示すように、他方部材たる有底筒状のシリンダ1と、シリンダ1内に摺動自在に挿入されたピストン3と、シリンダ1内にピストン3を介して移動自在に挿通される一方部材たるピストンロッド2と、ピストンロッド2を軸支するシート部材たるロッドガイド24と、ピストンロッド2とシリンダ1との間に挿入されロッドガイド24に着座するシール部材5とで構成され、シリンダ1内はピストン3によって、上室R1と下室R2とに区画され、この上室R1と下室R2とを連通するオリフィス3aがピストン3に設けられている。   In the description of the present embodiment, the present invention will be described in detail as a case where the present invention is embodied in a gas spring. As shown in FIG. 1, the basic form of the gas spring G embodying the present invention includes a bottomed cylindrical cylinder 1 as the other member, a piston 3 slidably inserted into the cylinder 1, and a cylinder. 1 is a piston rod 2 that is movably inserted through a piston 3, a rod guide 24 that is a seat member that pivotally supports the piston rod 2, and a rod that is inserted between the piston rod 2 and the cylinder 1. The cylinder 1 is divided into an upper chamber R1 and a lower chamber R2 by a piston 3, and an orifice 3a that communicates the upper chamber R1 and the lower chamber R2 is formed by a piston 3. Is provided.

他方、シール部材5は、図2に示すように、環状のインサートメタル20にゴム等の素材を金型内で圧縮して成形された図2中上側すなわちシリンダ内方側に開口する凹部5aを有する円環状に形成され、凹部5aを境として環状の内周側リップ5bと環状の外周側リップ5cと、内周側リップ5bのピストンロッドに当接する当接部5fよりロッドガイド24に対向する端部たる底部6との間の面に形成されたピストンロッド2から遠ざかる傾斜面5eと、を備えたいわゆるUパッキン形状に形成され、さらに、底部6すなわちロッドガイド24に対向する端部の内周側に環状の突起部5dが設けられている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2, the seal member 5 has a recess 5 a that is formed by compressing a material such as rubber in an annular insert metal 20 in a mold, and opens on the upper side in FIG. An annular inner circumferential lip 5b, an annular outer circumferential lip 5c, and a contact portion 5f that abuts against the piston rod of the inner circumferential lip 5b are opposed to the rod guide 24 with the recess 5a as a boundary. And a so-called U-packing shape having an inclined surface 5e which is formed on the surface between the bottom portion 6 which is an end portion and which is distant from the piston rod 2, and further, the inner portion of the end portion facing the bottom portion 6 or the rod guide 24. An annular protrusion 5d is provided on the circumferential side.

そして、シール部材5の内周側リップ5bの先端を一方部材たるピストンロッド2に摺接して、さらに、シール部材5の外周側リップ5cを他方部材たるシリンダ1に当設させており、これにより、シリンダ1とピストンロッド2との間がシールされている。   The tip of the inner peripheral lip 5b of the seal member 5 is in sliding contact with the piston rod 2 as one member, and the outer peripheral lip 5c of the seal member 5 is placed against the cylinder 1 as the other member. The space between the cylinder 1 and the piston rod 2 is sealed.

また、シール部材5の図1中下方には、シリンダ1の図1中下方の管端部をかしめることによりシリンダ1内周に固定され、ピストンロッド2を軸支する有孔円盤状のロッドガイド24が設けられており、シール部材5は、このロッドガイド24の図1中上面に載置されるが、このとき、シール部材5の突起部5dは、ロッドガイド24の図1中上面に着座しており、ロッドガイド24の上面とシール部材5との間はシールされている。また、このシール部材5にあっては、ロッドガイド24に対してシール部材5が傾くことがあっても、突起部5dがシール部材5の底部6から突出しているので、突起部5dがロッドガイド24から離れることはなく、確実にシール部材5とロッドガイド24との間がシールされる。   Further, a perforated disk-like rod that is fixed to the inner periphery of the cylinder 1 by caulking the pipe end portion of the cylinder 1 below in FIG. 1 below the seal member 5 in FIG. A guide 24 is provided, and the seal member 5 is placed on the upper surface of the rod guide 24 in FIG. 1. At this time, the protrusion 5 d of the seal member 5 is on the upper surface of the rod guide 24 in FIG. It is seated, and the space between the upper surface of the rod guide 24 and the seal member 5 is sealed. Further, in this seal member 5, even if the seal member 5 is inclined with respect to the rod guide 24, the protrusion 5 d protrudes from the bottom 6 of the seal member 5, so that the protrusion 5 d is the rod guide. The gap between the seal member 5 and the rod guide 24 is surely sealed without leaving the gap.

また、シリンダ1の図1中下方であって、上記シール部材5より図1中上方には、ピストンロッド2が挿通される孔を備えた有孔円盤状のリテーナ8がシリンダ1にロールかしめを施すことにより固定され、このリテーナ8によりピストン3がシール部材5に接触することが防止される。   A perforated disk-shaped retainer 8 having a hole through which the piston rod 2 is inserted is below the cylinder 1 in FIG. 1 and above the seal member 5 in FIG. The retainer 8 prevents the piston 3 from contacting the seal member 5.

さらに、シール部材5とリテーナ8との間には、ピストンロッド2の外周を潤滑する潤滑油15が充填されている。この潤滑油15は、ピストンロッド2がシリンダ1に対して移動するときに、その外周に附着するから、ピストンロッド2とシール部材5の内周側リップ5bとの間が潤滑されるので、ピストンロッド2の移動を円滑なものとすることができる。   Further, between the seal member 5 and the retainer 8, a lubricating oil 15 that lubricates the outer periphery of the piston rod 2 is filled. Since the lubricating oil 15 is attached to the outer periphery of the piston rod 2 when it moves relative to the cylinder 1, the space between the piston rod 2 and the inner peripheral lip 5b of the seal member 5 is lubricated. The movement of the rod 2 can be made smooth.

そして、上記のシール部材5にて、シリンダ1の図1中下端開口部が封止されるとともに、さらに、シリンダ1内には気体が封入されている。したがって、このガススプリングGでは、ピストン3の図1中上面と下面との受圧面積差によりピストン3に常に伸張する方向の力が作用するので、ガススプリングGは空気バネとして機能する。   1 is sealed by the sealing member 5 described above, and gas is sealed in the cylinder 1. Therefore, in this gas spring G, a force in the direction of expansion always acts on the piston 3 due to the pressure receiving area difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the piston 3 in FIG. 1, and therefore the gas spring G functions as an air spring.

さて、上述のようにガススプリングGおよびシール部材5は構成されるが、ガススプリングGのシリンダ1内にガスを封入する方法は、以下のとおりである。まず、ガススプリングGのシリンダ1にピストン3およびピストンロッド2を挿入し、リテーナ8をシリンダ1の内周にロールかしめを施すことにより固定し、潤滑油15を充填し、さらに、シール部材5がシリンダ1とピストンロッド2との間に挿入されるとともに、ロッドガイド24がシリンダ1内周にシリンダ1の図1中管端部をかしめることにより固定される。   Now, the gas spring G and the seal member 5 are configured as described above, and the method of enclosing the gas in the cylinder 1 of the gas spring G is as follows. First, the piston 3 and the piston rod 2 are inserted into the cylinder 1 of the gas spring G, the retainer 8 is fixed by roll caulking on the inner periphery of the cylinder 1, filled with lubricating oil 15, and the sealing member 5 While being inserted between the cylinder 1 and the piston rod 2, the rod guide 24 is fixed to the inner periphery of the cylinder 1 by caulking the tube end portion of the cylinder 1 in FIG.

この状態で、シリンダ1の図1中下端開口部から、ガスを流入させる。すると、シール部材5の傾斜面5eにガスの圧力が付加されるので、内周側リップ5bが変形し、僅かに当該内周側リップ5bとピストンロッド2の外周との間に隙間を生じて、ガスがシリンダ1内に封入される。このとき、従来のシール部材のようにピストンロッド2とシリンダ1との間にシール部材5を挿入するときに、シール部材5がロッドガイド24に対して傾いてしまう場合があっても、図3に示すように、シール部材5の突起部5dは、ロッドガイド24の図1中上面に着座しており、ロッドガイド24の上面とシール部材5との間は、その内周側でシールされているから、ロッドガイド24とシール部材5との間に隙間ができず、ガスを封入するときに、シール部材5の内周側リップ5bのみにガス圧力を負荷することがきる。したがって、シール部材5の底部6にもガス圧力が負荷されてしまう事態を招来することがないので、このガス圧力によりシール部材5がシリンダ1内方に向けて移動してガスをシリンダ1内に封入することができなくなってしまう事がない。すなわち、このシール部材5にあっては、確実にガスをシリンダ1内に封入することができる。なお、傾斜面5eは、ガス圧力負荷により内周側リップ5bを一部でも撓ませてガス封入の目的が果たせればよいので、当接部5fから底部6の面との間全体に設けなくともよく、また、傾斜面ではなく、凸状もしくは凹状の彎曲面としてもよい。   In this state, gas is allowed to flow from the lower end opening in FIG. Then, since gas pressure is applied to the inclined surface 5e of the seal member 5, the inner peripheral lip 5b is deformed, and a gap is slightly generated between the inner peripheral lip 5b and the outer periphery of the piston rod 2. , Gas is sealed in the cylinder 1. At this time, even when the seal member 5 is inclined with respect to the rod guide 24 when the seal member 5 is inserted between the piston rod 2 and the cylinder 1 as in the conventional seal member, FIG. 1, the protrusion 5 d of the seal member 5 is seated on the upper surface of the rod guide 24 in FIG. 1, and the space between the upper surface of the rod guide 24 and the seal member 5 is sealed on the inner peripheral side. Therefore, there is no gap between the rod guide 24 and the seal member 5, and when gas is sealed, the gas pressure can be applied only to the inner peripheral lip 5b of the seal member 5. Accordingly, there is no possibility that the gas pressure is also applied to the bottom 6 of the seal member 5. Therefore, the gas pressure causes the seal member 5 to move toward the inside of the cylinder 1 to cause the gas to enter the cylinder 1. There is no possibility of being unable to enclose. That is, in the seal member 5, the gas can be reliably sealed in the cylinder 1. The inclined surface 5e is not provided between the abutment portion 5f and the bottom surface 6 because the inclined portion 5e only needs to bend the inner peripheral lip 5b by a gas pressure load to achieve the purpose of gas filling. Alternatively, it may be a convex or concave corrugated surface instead of an inclined surface.

そして、ガス封入後には、シール部材5がシリンダ1内のガス圧力でロッドガイド2側に押圧されるので、内周側リップ5bがピストンロッド2に、外周側リップ5cがシリンダ1にそれぞれ押し付けられるので、ピストンロッド2とシリンダ1との間がしっかりシールされるので、ガスがシリンダ1内から漏れることは無い。   After the gas is sealed, the seal member 5 is pressed toward the rod guide 2 by the gas pressure in the cylinder 1, so that the inner peripheral lip 5 b is pressed against the piston rod 2 and the outer peripheral lip 5 c is pressed against the cylinder 1. Therefore, since the space between the piston rod 2 and the cylinder 1 is tightly sealed, gas does not leak from the cylinder 1.

また、ガススプリングを組み立てた後にガスを封入する方法において、従来のシール部材では、ロッドガイドに対しシール部材が傾いて上記方法でガス封入が行えない状態となると不良品となってしまうが、本発明のシール部材およびこのシール部材を適用したガススプリングにあっては、確実にガスを封入できるので不良品の発生を防止できるので、製造歩留まりが向上する。したがって、この点で製造コストが向上するとともに、また、シール部材5に突起部5dおよび傾斜面5eもしくは彎曲面を設けるだけで、確実にガスを封入することができるので、低コストでガス封入を行える。特に、シール部材5をUパッキン形状とする場合には、もともと傾斜面もしくは彎曲面を備えているので、少々の設計変更のみで確実にガスを封入することができ、シール部材を低コストで製造可能であり、この点で、このシール部材を備えたガススプリングの製造コストをさらに低減できる。   Further, in the method of sealing gas after assembling the gas spring, the conventional sealing member becomes a defective product when the sealing member is inclined with respect to the rod guide and gas sealing cannot be performed by the above method. In the sealing member of the invention and the gas spring to which the sealing member is applied, since gas can be reliably sealed, the generation of defective products can be prevented, and the manufacturing yield is improved. Accordingly, the manufacturing cost is improved in this respect, and the gas can be reliably sealed simply by providing the projecting portion 5d and the inclined surface 5e or the curved surface on the seal member 5, so that the gas can be sealed at a low cost. Yes. In particular, when the seal member 5 has a U-packing shape, since it is originally provided with an inclined surface or a curved surface, gas can be reliably sealed with only a few design changes, and the seal member can be manufactured at low cost. In this respect, the manufacturing cost of the gas spring provided with the seal member can be further reduced.

なお、上述したところでは、突起部5dを横断面矩形に形成されているが、図4に示すように、突起部5dの形状を、内周側から外周側にかけて図4中上方に傾斜する形状としたり、図5に示すように、その横断面形状を山型に形成するとしてもよい。ようするに、突起部5dの形状は、シール部材とシート部材との間を確実にシールできる形状であればよい。   In addition, in the place mentioned above, although the projection part 5d is formed in the cross-sectional rectangle, as shown in FIG. 4, the shape of the projection part 5d inclines upward in FIG. 4 from an inner peripheral side to an outer peripheral side. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, the cross-sectional shape may be formed in a mountain shape. Thus, the shape of the protrusion 5d may be a shape that can reliably seal between the seal member and the sheet member.

また、図6に示すように、内周側に設けられた突起部5dより軸方向長さが短い環状の突起部5gをシール部材5の底部6の外周側に設けるとしてもよく、さらに、図7に示すように、環状のインサートメタル20を完全にゴム等の素材で覆うようにしたり、図8に示すように、シール部材5の底部6内周側に突起部5dを設ける換わりにシール部材5の底部6の面をその外周側より内周側が突出するように傾斜させるとしてもよい。さらに、インサートメタル20を設けないとしてもよい。いずれにせよ、シール部材5とシート部材との間をその内周側でシールすることができるので、上記作用効果を奏することができる。  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, an annular protrusion 5g having an axial length shorter than the protrusion 5d provided on the inner peripheral side may be provided on the outer peripheral side of the bottom 6 of the seal member 5. 7 instead of covering the annular insert metal 20 completely with a material such as rubber or providing a projection 5d on the inner peripheral side of the bottom 6 of the seal member 5 as shown in FIG. 5 may be inclined such that the inner peripheral side protrudes from the outer peripheral side. Furthermore, the insert metal 20 may not be provided. In any case, since the space between the seal member 5 and the sheet member can be sealed on the inner peripheral side, the above-described effects can be achieved.

なお、本実施の形態においては、一方部材をピストンロッドとし、他方部材をシリンダとしているが、本発明の意図するところは、ガスを封入するにあたり、ガス圧力がシール部材のリップのみならず底部6にも負荷されて一方部材と他方部材との間を移動してガス封入が行えなくなるという不具合を改善するところにあるので、たとえば、一方部材を中空な筒体として他方部材を蓋体とするような場合には、ガス封入をシール部材の外周側から行うこととなり、シート部材とシール部材との間のシールはその外周側で行われる必要があるので、突起部をシール部材のシート部材に対向する端部の外周側に設けるとともに傾斜面もしくは彎曲面をシール部材の外周側に設ければよい。すなわち、図2から図9に示したシール部材の底部6側に設けられる突起部の形成位置を内周側と外周側で逆にし、傾斜面をシール部材の外周側に設ければよいこととなる。  In the present embodiment, one member is a piston rod, and the other member is a cylinder. However, the purpose of the present invention is that not only the lip of the seal member but also the bottom 6 In other words, the problem is that the gas cannot be sealed by moving between the one member and the other member due to the load, so that, for example, one member is a hollow cylinder and the other member is a lid. In such a case, gas sealing is performed from the outer peripheral side of the seal member, and the seal between the sheet member and the seal member needs to be performed on the outer peripheral side, so that the protrusion is opposed to the sheet member of the seal member. It is only necessary to provide an inclined surface or a curved surface on the outer peripheral side of the seal member while providing it on the outer peripheral side of the end portion. That is, the formation position of the protrusion provided on the bottom 6 side of the seal member shown in FIGS. 2 to 9 may be reversed on the inner peripheral side and the outer peripheral side, and the inclined surface may be provided on the outer peripheral side of the seal member. Become.

さらに、上述したところでは、シール部材5を、いわゆるUパッキン形状としているが、その底部6側に突起部5dが設けられ、あるいは、その底部6の面を他方部材側より一方部材側が突出するように傾斜させ、さらに、シール部材の一方部材に当接する当接部よりシート部材に対向する底部6の面との間の面の少なくとも一部に一方部材から遠ざかる傾斜面もしくは彎曲面が形成してあれば、シールとしての機能を果たすことができ、かつ、ガス封入に適する限り、その他部分の形状はどのような形状であっても差し支えない。  Further, as described above, the sealing member 5 has a so-called U-packing shape. However, a protruding portion 5d is provided on the bottom 6 side, or one surface of the bottom 6 protrudes from the other member side. In addition, an inclined surface or a curved surface away from the one member is formed on at least a part of the surface between the contact portion that contacts the one member of the seal member and the surface of the bottom portion 6 that faces the sheet member. As long as it can function as a seal and is suitable for gas sealing, the other portions may have any shape.

また、本実施の形態においては、シート部材をロッドガイドとしているが、ロッドガイド以外の部材であってもよく、さらに、このシート部材は、一方部材もしくは他方部材と一体的に形成されてもよい。すなわち、たとえば、筒状の他方部材の内周に環状溝を形成し、シール部材をこの環状溝内に嵌合し、さらに、この他方部材内に一方部材が挿入されるような場面では、シート部材は環状溝ということとなる。  In this embodiment, the sheet member is a rod guide. However, the sheet member may be a member other than the rod guide, and the sheet member may be formed integrally with one member or the other member. . That is, for example, in a situation where an annular groove is formed on the inner periphery of the other cylindrical member, a sealing member is fitted into the annular groove, and one member is inserted into the other member, the seat The member is an annular groove.

以上で、本発明の実施の形態についての説明を終えるが、本発明の範囲は図示されまたは説明された詳細そのものには限定されないことは勿論である。また、本発明はガススプリングに具現化されているが、ガススプリング以外の空圧機器の摺動部に具現化可能であるだけでなく、当然であるが、ガスを封入した圧力容器にこのシール部材が適用可能なことは無論である。  This is the end of the description of the embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is of course not limited to the details shown or described. In addition, the present invention is embodied in a gas spring, but not only can it be embodied in a sliding portion of a pneumatic device other than a gas spring, but naturally, the seal is attached to a pressure vessel filled with gas. Of course, the member is applicable.
