Description

本発明は、内側部材の外周面よりも径方向外側に位置して回転する外側部材に取り付けられ、これら内側部材及び外側部材間の環状開口を塞ぐ、環状の芯金に弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の内周側端部をシールリップとし、該シールリップが内側部材に接触する構造、又は、外側部材の内周面よりも径方向内側に位置して回転する内側部材に取り付けられ、これら外側部材及び内側部材間の環状開口を塞ぐ、環状の芯金に弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の外周側端部をシールリップとし、該シールリップが外側部材に接触する構造の接触シールに関するものである。   The present invention is attached to an outer member that rotates and is positioned radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the inner member, and covers an annular opening between the inner member and the outer member. The inner peripheral side end of the elastic body is used as a seal lip, and the seal lip is in contact with the inner member, or attached to the inner member that rotates in the radial direction from the inner peripheral surface of the outer member, A contact seal having a structure in which the annular opening between the outer member and the inner member is closed, the annular cored bar is covered with an elastic body, the outer peripheral end of the elastic body is used as a seal lip, and the seal lip contacts the outer member It is about.

例えば、自動車のオルタネータ及びエアコン等のエンジンまわりの補機は、エンジンのクランクと連結されたタイミングベルトによって駆動され、このタイミングベルトの張力調整及びレイアウトを自在に行うために、テンションプーリ及びアイドラプーリが使用される。
これらのプーリ用転がり軸受には、降雨時又は悪路等を考慮して、泥水又は塵埃等の異物が前記軸受の外輪及び内輪間へ侵入することを防止し得る高いシール性能が要求されるため、環状の金属製芯金に合成ゴム等の弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の内周側端部をシールリップとし、該シールリップを内輪に接触させる構造の接触シールが使用される。
このような接触シールにおいては、温度上昇した軸受が冷却された際に被シール部（軸受内部）が負圧になり、シールリップが内輪のシール溝に押し付けられるシール吸着現象が発生することから、軸受の回転トルクが異常に増大して回転性能が大幅に低下するとともに、シールリップの摩耗が増大することやシールリップが破損するという問題があるため、この問題解決のために、接触シールの外径装着部に切欠（スリット、空気孔）を形成してシール内外（軸受内外）を連通させるようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献１及び２参照。）。 For example, an auxiliary machine around an engine such as an alternator of an automobile and an air conditioner is driven by a timing belt connected to an engine crank, and a tension pulley and an idler pulley are provided to freely adjust the tension and layout of the timing belt. used.
These pulley rolling bearings are required to have high sealing performance that can prevent foreign matter such as muddy water or dust from entering between the outer ring and the inner ring of the bearing in consideration of rain or bad roads. A contact seal having a structure in which an annular metal core is covered with an elastic body such as a synthetic rubber, an inner peripheral side end portion of the elastic body is used as a seal lip, and the seal lip is brought into contact with the inner ring.
In such contact seals, when the temperature-increased bearing is cooled, the sealed portion (inside the bearing) becomes negative pressure, and a seal adsorption phenomenon occurs in which the seal lip is pressed against the seal groove of the inner ring. In order to solve this problem, there is a problem in that the outer surface of the contact seal is removed. There is one in which a notch (slit, air hole) is formed in the diameter mounting portion so that the inside and outside of the seal (inside and outside of the bearing) communicate with each other (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).

特許文献１及び２のようなシール内外を連通させるようにした接触シールによれば、シール内外（軸受内外）の圧力をバランスさせることができるためシール吸着現象の発生を防止することができる。
しかしながら、外径装着部に切欠を形成してシール内外を常時連通させているため、シール性能が低下して必要なシール性能を確保することができない場合があるとともに、切欠の大きさがシール性能に直結することから厳しい寸法管理が必要になるため、製造コストが増大するという問題点がある。 According to the contact seal in which the inside and outside of the seal are communicated as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the pressure inside and outside the seal (inside and outside the bearing) can be balanced, so that the occurrence of a seal adsorption phenomenon can be prevented.
However, because the notch is formed in the outer diameter mounting part and the inside and outside of the seal are always in communication, the sealing performance may deteriorate and the required sealing performance may not be ensured. Since it is directly connected to the strict size control, strict dimensional control is required, which increases the manufacturing cost.

そこで本発明が前述の状況に鑑み、解決しようとするところは、シール吸着現象の発生を防止することができながらシール性能の低下を抑制することができ、切欠の寸法を厳しく管理する必要がない接触シールを提供する点にある。   Accordingly, in view of the above-described situation, the present invention intends to solve the problem that it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the seal adsorption phenomenon while suppressing the deterioration of the sealing performance, and it is not necessary to strictly manage the notch dimensions. It is in providing a contact seal.

本発明に係る接触シールは、前記課題解決のために、内側部材の外周面よりも径方向外側に位置して回転する外側部材に取り付けられ、これら内側部材及び外側部材間の環状開口を塞ぐ、環状の芯金に弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の内外周側端部をシールリップ及び外径装着部とした接触シールであって、前記外径装着部の外周面に軸方向内外に連通する切欠を形成するとともに、前記外径装着部の軸方向内面に、外径側遮断部の径方向内側面から径方向内側端部まで延びる径方向内外に連通しない切欠を形成してなり、被シール部が負圧になって前記芯金及び弾性体の内径側が軸方向内側に移動するように傾いた状態では前記遮断部が前記外側部材の径方向に延びる側壁面から離間するものである。   In order to solve the above problems, the contact seal according to the present invention is attached to an outer member that is positioned radially outside the outer peripheral surface of the inner member, and closes an annular opening between the inner member and the outer member. A contact seal in which an annular core is covered with an elastic body and inner and outer peripheral side ends of the elastic body are used as a seal lip and an outer diameter mounting portion, and communicates with the outer peripheral surface of the outer diameter mounting portion in the axial direction inside and outside. A notch that does not communicate with the radially inner and outer ends extending from the radially inner side surface of the outer diameter side blocking portion to the radially inner end portion is formed on the inner surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion. In a state where the seal portion is negative pressure and the inner diameter side of the core metal and the elastic body is inclined so as to move inward in the axial direction, the blocking portion is separated from the side wall surface extending in the radial direction of the outer member.

また、本発明に係る接触シールは、前記課題解決のために、内側部材の外周面よりも径方向外側に位置して回転する外側部材に取り付けられ、これら内側部材及び外側部材間の環状開口を塞ぐ、環状の芯金に弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の内外周側端部をシールリップ及び外径装着部とした接触シールであって、前記外径装着部の外周面に軸方向内外に連通する切欠を形成し、前記外径装着部の軸方向内面に径方向内外に連通する切欠を形成するとともに、前記外径装着部の軸方向外面に、内径側遮断部の径方向外側面から径方向外側端部まで延びる径方向内外に連通しない切欠を形成してなり、被シール部が負圧になって前記芯金及び弾性体の内径側が軸方向内側に移動するように傾いた状態では前記遮断部が前記外側部材の側面を押さえる押え部材の径方向に延びる内面から離間するものである。   Further, in order to solve the above problems, the contact seal according to the present invention is attached to an outer member that is positioned radially outside the outer peripheral surface of the inner member and rotates, and an annular opening between the inner member and the outer member is provided. A contact seal that covers an annular cored bar with an elastic body and has inner and outer peripheral side end portions of the elastic body as a seal lip and an outer diameter mounting portion. A notch communicating with the outer diameter mounting portion is formed on the inner surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion, and a radially outer surface of the inner diameter side blocking portion is formed on the outer surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion. A notch that does not communicate with the radially inner and outer ends extending from the radially outer end to the radially outer end, and the sealed portion is in a negative pressure so that the inner diameter side of the metal core and the elastic body moves inward in the axial direction Then, the blocking part presses the side surface of the outer member. It is intended to separate from the inner surface extending in the radial direction of the pressing member.

さらに、本発明に係る接触シールは、前記課題解決のために、外側部材の内周面よりも径方向内側に位置して回転する内側部材に取り付けられ、これら外側部材及び内側部材間の環状開口を塞ぐ、環状の芯金に弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の外内周側端部をシールリップ及び内径装着部とした接触シールであって、前記内径装着部の内周面に軸方向内外に連通する切欠を形成するとともに、前記内径装着部の軸方向内面に、内径側遮断部の径方向外側面から径方向外側端部まで延びる径方向内外に連通しない切欠を形成してなり、被シール部が負圧になって前記芯金及び弾性体の外径側が軸方向内側に移動するように傾いた状態では前記遮断部が前記内側部材の径方向に延びる側壁面から離間するものである。   Furthermore, in order to solve the above problems, the contact seal according to the present invention is attached to an inner member that rotates at a position radially inward of the inner peripheral surface of the outer member, and an annular opening between the outer member and the inner member. A contact seal in which an annular core is covered with an elastic body and an outer inner peripheral end of the elastic body is used as a seal lip and an inner diameter mounting portion, and the inner peripheral surface of the inner diameter mounting portion is axially Forming a notch communicating with the inside and outside, and forming a notch that does not communicate with the radially inner and outer ends extending from the radially outer surface of the inner diameter side blocking portion to the radially outer end, on the inner surface in the axial direction of the inner diameter mounting portion, In a state where the sealed portion is under negative pressure and the outer diameter side of the core metal and the elastic body is inclined so as to move inward in the axial direction, the blocking portion is separated from the side wall surface extending in the radial direction of the inner member. is there.

さらにまた、本発明に係る接触シールは、前記課題解決のために、外側部材の内周面よりも径方向内側に位置して回転する内側部材に取り付けられ、これら外側部材及び内側部材間の環状開口を塞ぐ、環状の芯金に弾性体を被覆して該弾性体の外内周側端部をシールリップ及び内径装着部とした接触シールであって、前記内径装着部の内周面に軸方向内外に連通する切欠を形成し、前記内径装着部の軸方向内面に径方向内外に連通する切欠を形成するとともに、前記内径装着部の軸方向外面に、外径側遮断部の径方向内側面から径方向内側端部まで延びる径方向内外に連通しない切欠を形成してなり、被シール部が負圧になって前記芯金及び弾性体の外径側が軸方向内側に移動するように傾いた状態では前記遮断部が前記内側部材の側面を押さえる押え部材の径方向に延びる内面から離間するものである。   Furthermore, the contact seal according to the present invention is attached to an inner member that rotates and is positioned radially inward of the inner peripheral surface of the outer member, and an annular shape between the outer member and the inner member is provided to solve the above-described problem. A contact seal that closes an opening and covers an annular core with an elastic body and uses an outer inner peripheral end of the elastic body as a seal lip and an inner diameter mounting portion. Forming a notch communicating inward and outward in the direction, forming a notch communicating inward and outward in the radial direction on the inner surface in the axial direction of the inner diameter mounting portion, and radially inward of the outer diameter side blocking portion on the outer surface in the axial direction of the inner diameter mounting portion. A notch that does not communicate with the inside and outside in the radial direction extending from the side surface to the inside end in the radial direction is formed, and the sealed portion is inclined so that the outer diameter side of the cored bar and the elastic body moves inward in the axial direction due to negative pressure. In this state, the blocking portion pushes the side surface of the inner member. It is intended to separate from the inner surface extending in the radial direction of obtaining pressing member.

本発明に係る接触シールによれば、被シール部が負圧になった際にシール内外が連通してシール内外の圧力を瞬時にバランスさせることができるため、シール吸着現象の発生を防止することができるとともに、シール内外の圧力がバランスしている状態ではシール内外が連通しないため、前記切欠を形成してもシール性能が低下することがない。
その上、シール内外の圧力がバランスしている通常の使用状態ではシール内外が連通していないことから、従来のシール内外を連通させるようにした接触シールのようにシール性能の低下を防ぐために切欠の寸法を厳しく管理する必要がないため、製造コストの増大を抑制することができる。 According to the contact seal according to the present invention, when the sealed portion becomes negative pressure, the inside and outside of the seal communicate with each other, and the pressure inside and outside the seal can be instantly balanced. In addition, since the inside and outside of the seal do not communicate in a state where the pressure inside and outside the seal is balanced, the sealing performance does not deteriorate even if the notch is formed.
In addition, since the inside and outside of the seal do not communicate under normal operating conditions in which the pressure inside and outside the seal is balanced, a notch is used to prevent deterioration of the sealing performance as with a conventional contact seal that communicates between the inside and outside of the seal. Since it is not necessary to strictly manage the dimensions, an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, and includes all the embodiments that satisfy the requirements described in the claims. It is a waste. In the following, the axial direction of the rotating shaft is referred to as “axial direction”, and the rotational radial direction is referred to as “radial direction”.

実施の形態１．
図１及び図２は本発明の実施の形態１に係る接触シール１１を装着した転がり軸受１を示しており、転がり軸受１は、内側部材ＩＰである内輪２と外側部材ＯＰである外輪３とが、保持器４により保持された転動体５，…を介して相対的に回転するものであり、内輪２と外輪３との間には潤滑剤としてグリース１０が封入され、転動体５，…の軸受幅方向左右には、内輪２と外輪３との間の環状開口Ａ，Ａを塞ぐ、正面視略円環状の接触シール１１，１１が装着される。 Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 and 2 show a rolling bearing 1 equipped with a contact seal 11 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The rolling bearing 1 includes an inner ring 2 that is an inner member IP and an outer ring 3 that is an outer member OP. However, it rotates relatively through the rolling elements 5 held by the cage 4, and grease 10 is sealed between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3 as a lubricant, and the rolling elements 5,. On the left and right sides in the bearing width direction, contact seals 11, 11 having a substantially annular shape when viewed from the front are attached to close the annular openings A, A between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3.

図２及び図３に示すように、接触シール１１は、鋼板等からなる環状の金属製芯金１２の外周部と内周部に連続して合成ゴム等の弾性体１３を加硫接着により被覆し、弾性体１３の内周側端部をシールリップ１４とし、外周側端部を外径装着部１５としたものであり、内輪２の外周面に形成された周溝６内にシールリップ１４の先端が位置するとともに、内輪２の径方向に延びる側壁面８にシールリップ１４が圧接されることにより、軸受１内部に充填されたグリース１０の漏洩を防止することができるとともに外部からの異物の浸入を防止することができる。
また、外輪３の内周面に形成された周溝７に外径装着部１５を嵌着することにより、接触シール１１が軸受１に対して位置決め固定されるとともに、シール１１の外径部からの異物の浸入を防止することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the contact seal 11 covers the elastic body 13 such as synthetic rubber by vulcanization adhesion continuously to the outer peripheral portion and inner peripheral portion of the annular metal core 12 made of a steel plate or the like. The inner end of the elastic body 13 is a seal lip 14, and the outer end is an outer diameter mounting portion 15. The seal lip 14 is inserted into a circumferential groove 6 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 2. And the seal lip 14 is pressed against the side wall surface 8 extending in the radial direction of the inner ring 2 to prevent the grease 10 filled in the bearing 1 from leaking and foreign matter from the outside. Can be prevented.
Further, by fitting the outer diameter mounting portion 15 in the circumferential groove 7 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 3, the contact seal 11 is positioned and fixed with respect to the bearing 1, and from the outer diameter portion of the seal 11. Intrusion of foreign matter can be prevented.

ここで、弾性体１３として使用するゴム材料としては、耐油性の良好なゴム素材として、ニトリルゴム（ＮＢＲ）、水素化ニトリルゴム（ＨＮＢＲ）、アクリルゴム（ＡＣＭ）、エチレン・アクリルゴム（ＡＥＭ）、フッ素ゴム（ＦＫＭ、ＦＰＭ）、シリコーンゴム（ＶＱＭ）等のゴムから、１種、あるいは２種以上のゴムを適当にブレンドして使用することができる。
また、ゴム材料の練り加工性、加硫成形性、金属板との接着性を考慮した場合、他種のゴム、例えば、液状ＮＢＲ、エチレンプロピレンゴム（ＥＰＤＭ）、天然ゴム（ＮＲ）、イソプレンゴム（ＩＲ）、スチレンブタジエンゴム（ＳＢＲ）、ブタジエンゴム（ＢＲ）等とブレンドして使用することも好ましい使用態様である。 Here, as the rubber material used as the elastic body 13, as a rubber material having good oil resistance, nitrile rubber (NBR), hydrogenated nitrile rubber (HNBR), acrylic rubber (ACM), ethylene / acrylic rubber (AEM) One or two or more kinds of rubbers such as fluorine rubber (FKM, FPM) and silicone rubber (VQM) can be appropriately blended and used.
In consideration of kneadability of rubber materials, vulcanization moldability, and adhesion to metal plates, other types of rubber such as liquid NBR, ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM), natural rubber (NR), isoprene rubber (IR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR) and the like are also used preferably.

図２（ａ）に示すように、接触シール１１を外輪３に取り付けた状態で、上述のとおりシールリップ１４は内輪２（側壁面８）に圧接されるが、接触シール１１の芯金１２の内周面１２Ａとシールリップ１４との間には括れ部１６が形成されているため、シールリップ１４を内輪２に押し付けても、剛性が小さい括れ部１６が主に変形し、該括れ部１６が内輪２及び外輪３等の各部品の形状精度等に起因する誤差を吸収して内輪２への追従性が向上するため、安定かつ確実な接触シールを構成することができるとともに回転トルクの増大を抑制することができる。   As shown in FIG. 2A, in the state where the contact seal 11 is attached to the outer ring 3, the seal lip 14 is pressed against the inner ring 2 (side wall surface 8) as described above. Since the constricted portion 16 is formed between the inner peripheral surface 12A and the seal lip 14, even if the seal lip 14 is pressed against the inner ring 2, the constricted portion 16 having low rigidity is mainly deformed, and the constricted portion 16 Absorbs errors due to the shape accuracy of each part such as the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3 and improves the followability to the inner ring 2, so that a stable and reliable contact seal can be formed and the rotational torque is increased. Can be suppressed.

図３に示すように、接触シール１１の外径装着部１５には、その外周面に、例えば２箇所の切欠１７Ａ，１７Ａが１８０°等分で形成され、その軸方向内面（底面）に、例えば１箇所の切欠１７Ｂが形成されている。
ここで、切欠１７Ａは軸方向内外に連通しているが、切欠１７Ｂは径方向内外に連通していない。
すなわち、切欠１７Ｂは、外径装着部１５の軸方向内面の径方向全体にわたって形成されておらず外周側には遮断部１８を残しており、遮断部１８の径方向内側面から径方向内側端部まで延びている。
したがって、図１及び図２（ａ）に示すシール内外（軸受内外）の圧力がバランスしている状態では、外径装着部１５の切欠１７Ｂが形成されていない部分の軸方向内面と遮断部１８の当接面１８Ａとが円環状に切れ目なく連続して外輪３の径方向に延びる側壁面７Ａに当接した状態が保持されることから、この状態ではシール内外が連通しないため、切欠１７Ａ，１７Ｂを形成してもシール性能が低下することがない。 As shown in FIG. 3, the outer diameter mounting portion 15 of the contact seal 11 has, for example, two notches 17A and 17A formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof at an equal angle of 180 °, and the axial inner surface (bottom surface) For example, one notch 17B is formed.
Here, the notch 17A communicates with the inside and outside in the axial direction, but the notch 17B does not communicate with the inside and outside in the radial direction.
That is, the notch 17B is not formed over the entire radial direction of the inner surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion 15, leaving the blocking portion 18 on the outer peripheral side, and from the radially inner side surface of the blocking portion 18 to the radially inner end. It extends to the part.
Therefore, in the state where the pressure inside and outside the seal (inside and outside the bearing) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A is balanced, the inner surface in the axial direction of the portion where the notch 17B of the outer diameter mounting portion 15 is not formed and the blocking portion 18. In this state, the inside and outside of the seal are not communicated with each other, so that the notch 17A, Even if 17B is formed, the sealing performance does not deteriorate.

図１及び図２（ａ）に示すシール内外（軸受内外）の圧力がバランスしている状態から、温度上昇した軸受１が冷却され軸受内部が負圧になると、図２（ｂ）に示すようにシールリップ１４が内輪２（側壁面８）に押し付けられ、その結果、芯金１２及び弾性体１３の内径側が軸方向内側に移動するように接触シール１１が傾き、この状態では遮断部１８の当接面１８Ａが外輪３の側壁面７Ａから離間することから、外径装着部１５に形成された切欠１７Ａ，１７Ｂによりシール内外が連通してシール内外の圧力を瞬時にバランスさせることができ、よって接触シール１１は図１及び図２（ａ）の状態に瞬時に復帰するため、シール吸着現象の発生を防止することができる。
また、このように接触シール１１が図１及び図２（ａ）の状態に復帰した状態では、上述のとおりシール内外が連通しないため、シール性能が低下することがない。 From the state where the pressure inside and outside the seal (inside and outside the bearing) shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 (a) is balanced, when the bearing 1 whose temperature has risen is cooled and the inside of the bearing becomes negative pressure, as shown in FIG. 2 (b). The seal lip 14 is pressed against the inner ring 2 (side wall surface 8), and as a result, the contact seal 11 is tilted so that the inner diameter side of the cored bar 12 and the elastic body 13 is moved inward in the axial direction. Since the contact surface 18A is separated from the side wall surface 7A of the outer ring 3, the inside and outside of the seal communicate with each other by the notches 17A and 17B formed in the outer diameter mounting portion 15, and the pressure inside and outside the seal can be instantaneously balanced. Therefore, since the contact seal 11 instantaneously returns to the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A, the occurrence of the sticking phenomenon can be prevented.
Further, in the state where the contact seal 11 has returned to the state shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2A as described above, the inside and outside of the seal do not communicate with each other, so that the sealing performance does not deteriorate.

ここで、切欠１９Ｂは軸方向内外に連通しており、切欠１９Ｃは径方向内外に連通しているが、切欠１９Ａは径方向内外に連通していない。
すなわち、切欠１９Ａは、外径装着部１５の軸方向外面の径方向全体にわたって形成されておらず内周側には遮断部２０を残しており、遮断部２０の径方向外側面から径方向外側端部まで延びている。
したがって、図４及び図５（ａ）に示すシール内外（軸受内外）の圧力がバランスしている状態では、外径装着部１５の切欠１９Ａが形成されていない部分の軸方向外面と遮断部２０の当接面２０Ａとが円環状に切れ目なく連続して円環状の押え部材９Ｃの内面に当接した状態が保持されることから、この状態ではシール内外が連通しないため、切欠１９Ａ，１９Ｂ，１９Ｃを形成してもシール性能が低下することがない。 As shown in FIG. 6, the outer diameter mounting portion 15 of the contact seal 11 has, for example, two cutouts 19 </ b> A and 19 </ b> A that are equally divided by 180 ° on the outer surface (surface) in the axial direction. For example, one notch 19B is formed, and two notches 19C and 19C are formed, for example, at 180 ° equally on the inner surface (bottom surface) in the axial direction.
Here, the notch 19B communicates with the inside and outside in the axial direction, and the notch 19C communicates with the inside and outside in the radial direction, but the notch 19A does not communicate with the inside and outside in the radial direction.
That is, the notch 19 </ b> A is not formed over the entire radial direction of the outer surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion 15, leaving the blocking portion 20 on the inner peripheral side, and radially outward from the radially outer surface of the blocking portion 20. It extends to the end.
Therefore, in the state where the pressure inside and outside the seal (inside and outside the bearing) shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A is balanced, the outer surface in the axial direction of the portion where the notch 19A of the outer diameter mounting portion 15 is not formed and the blocking portion 20. Since the state where the contact surface 20A is continuously in contact with the inner surface of the annular pressing member 9C is maintained in this annular state, the inside and outside of the seal do not communicate with each other in this state, so the notches 19A, 19B, Even if 19C is formed, the sealing performance does not deteriorate.

図４及び図５（ａ）に示すシール内外の圧力がバランスしている状態から、温度上昇した軸受１が冷却され軸受内部が負圧になると、図５（ｂ）に示すようにシールリップ１４が内輪２（側壁面８）に押し付けられ、その結果、芯金１２及び弾性体１３の内径側が軸方向内側に移動するように接触シール１１が傾き、この状態では遮断部２０の当接面２０Ａが押え部材９Ｃの内面から離間することから、外径装着部１５に形成された切欠１９Ａ，１９Ｂ，１９Ｃによりシール内外が連通してシール内外の圧力を瞬時にバランスさせることができ、よって接触シール１１は図４及び図５（ａ）の状態に瞬時に復帰するため、シール吸着現象の発生を防止することができる。
また、このように接触シール１１が図４及び図５（ａ）の状態に復帰した状態では、上述のとおりシール内外が連通しないため、シール性能が低下することがない。 When the pressure inside and outside the seal shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (a) is balanced, and the bearing 1 whose temperature has risen is cooled and the inside of the bearing becomes negative pressure, the seal lip 14 is shown in FIG. 5 (b). Is pressed against the inner ring 2 (side wall surface 8), and as a result, the contact seal 11 is tilted so that the inner diameter side of the core metal 12 and the elastic body 13 moves inward in the axial direction. In this state, the contact surface 20A of the blocking portion 20 Is separated from the inner surface of the presser member 9C, the notch 19A, 19B, 19C formed in the outer diameter mounting portion 15 allows the inside and outside of the seal to communicate with each other so that the pressure inside and outside the seal can be instantaneously balanced. 11 instantaneously returns to the state shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A, so that the occurrence of the sticking phenomenon can be prevented.
Further, in the state where the contact seal 11 has returned to the state shown in FIGS. 4 and 5A as described above, the inside and outside of the seal do not communicate with each other, so that the sealing performance does not deteriorate.

図７は、図６と同様の接触シール１１，１１を装着したワンウェイクラッチ２１を示しており、図４及び図５と同一符号は同一又は相当部分を示している。
図７の構成では、転がり軸受１の内輪２に連結部材２３が、外輪３に内側部材ＩＰが取り付けられ、連結部材２３に外側部材ＯＰが取り付けられ、外側部材ＯＰは内側部材ＩＰの外周面よりも径方向外側に位置して回転するものであり、内側部材ＩＰと外側部材ＯＰとの間にクラッチ機構部２２が収容される。
ワンウェイクラッチ２１は、接触シール１１の外径装着部１５を、外側部材ＯＰの径方向に延びる側壁面及び軸方向に延びる内周面により形成された段部に嵌合させた状態で、外径装着部１５の軸方向外面（表面）が連結部材２３及び押え部材２４により押さえられて位置決めされ、外側部材ＯＰにシール１１，１１が取り付けられ、内側部材ＩＰ及び外側部材ＯＰ間の環状開口Ａ，Ａを塞いでいる。 FIG. 7 shows a one-way clutch 21 equipped with the same contact seals 11 as in FIG. 6, and the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 4 and 5 denote the same or corresponding parts.
7, the connecting member 23 is attached to the inner ring 2 of the rolling bearing 1, the inner member IP is attached to the outer ring 3, the outer member OP is attached to the connecting member 23, and the outer member OP is from the outer peripheral surface of the inner member IP. Also, the clutch mechanism portion 22 is accommodated between the inner member IP and the outer member OP.
The one-way clutch 21 is configured such that the outer diameter mounting portion 15 of the contact seal 11 is fitted to the step formed by the side wall surface extending in the radial direction of the outer member OP and the inner peripheral surface extending in the axial direction. The outer surface (front surface) of the mounting portion 15 in the axial direction is pressed and positioned by the connecting member 23 and the pressing member 24, the seals 11 and 11 are attached to the outer member OP, and the annular openings A and A between the inner member IP and the outer member OP. Blocking A.

図７に示す接触シール１１は図６に示す接触シール１１と同様であり、その外径装着部１５には、軸方向外面（表面）の切欠１９Ａ、外周面の切欠１９Ｂ及び軸方向内面（底面）の切欠１９Ｃが形成されており、切欠１９Ａは、外径装着部１５の軸方向外面の径方向全体にわたって形成されておらず、内周側には遮断部２０が残されている。
したがって、図７（ａ）に示すシール内外の圧力がバランスしている状態では、外径装着部１５の切欠１９Ａが形成されていない部分の軸方向外面と遮断部２０の当接面２０Ａとが円環状に切れ目なく連続して連結部材２３及び押え部材２４の内面に当接した状態が保持されることから、この状態ではシール内外が連通していないため、切欠１９Ａ，１９Ｂ，１９Ｃを形成してもシール性能が低下することがない。 The contact seal 11 shown in FIG. 7 is the same as the contact seal 11 shown in FIG. 6. The outer diameter mounting portion 15 includes a cutout 19A on the axial outer surface (surface), a cutout 19B on the outer peripheral surface, and an axial inner surface (bottom surface). ) Is formed, and the notch 19A is not formed over the entire radial direction of the outer surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion 15, and the blocking portion 20 is left on the inner peripheral side.
Therefore, in the state where the pressure inside and outside the seal shown in FIG. 7A is balanced, the outer surface in the axial direction of the outer diameter mounting portion 15 where the notch 19A is not formed and the contact surface 20A of the blocking portion 20 are formed. Since the state where the inner surface of the connecting member 23 and the pressing member 24 is in contact with the inner surface of the connecting member 23 and the pressing member 24 is maintained continuously in an annular shape, the inside and outside of the seal are not communicated with each other, so the notches 19A, 19B, and 19C are formed. However, the sealing performance does not deteriorate.

図７（ａ）に示すシール内外の圧力がバランスしている状態から、温度上昇したクラッチ機構部２２が冷却されクラッチ機構部２２が負圧になると、図７（ｂ）に示すようにシールリップ１４が軸方向内側に押し付けられ、その結果、芯金１２及び弾性体１３の内径側が軸方向内側に移動するように接触シール１１が傾き、この状態では遮断部２０の当接面２０Ａが連結部材２３及び押え部材２４の内面から離間することから、外径装着部１５に形成された切欠１９Ａ，１９Ｂ，１９Ｃによりシール内外が連通してシール内外の圧力を瞬時にバランスさせることができ、よって接触シール１１は図７（ａ）の状態に瞬時に復帰するため、シール吸着現象の発生を防止することができる。
また、このように接触シール１１が図７（ａ）の状態に復帰した状態では、シール内外が連通していないため、シール性能が低下することがない。 When the clutch mechanism 22 that has risen in temperature is cooled and the clutch mechanism 22 becomes negative pressure from the state in which the pressure inside and outside the seal shown in FIG. 7 (a) is balanced, the seal lip is shown in FIG. 7 (b). 14 is pressed inward in the axial direction. As a result, the contact seal 11 is tilted so that the inner diameter side of the core metal 12 and the elastic body 13 moves inward in the axial direction. In this state, the contact surface 20A of the blocking portion 20 is connected to the connecting member. 23 and the inner surface of the pressing member 24, the notches 19A, 19B, 19C formed in the outer diameter mounting portion 15 allow the inside and outside of the seal to communicate with each other, and the pressure inside and outside the seal can be instantaneously balanced, so that contact is made. Since the seal 11 instantaneously returns to the state of FIG. 7A, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the sticking phenomenon.
Further, in the state where the contact seal 11 has returned to the state shown in FIG. 7A, the seal performance does not deteriorate because the inside and outside of the seal are not in communication.

その上、以上の実施の形態１及び２におけるシール内外の圧力がバランスしている通常の使用状態（実施の形態１の図１及び図２（ａ）並びに実施の形態２の図４及び図５（ａ）並びに図７（ａ）参照。）では、シール内外が連通していないことから、従来のシール内外を連通させるようにした接触シールのようにシール性能の低下を防ぐために切欠の寸法を厳しく管理する必要がないため、製造コストの増大を抑制することができる。   In addition, a normal use state in which the pressure inside and outside the seal in the first and second embodiments is balanced (FIGS. 1 and 2A of the first embodiment and FIGS. 4 and 5 of the second embodiment). In (a) and FIG. 7 (a), since the inside and outside of the seal are not in communication, the size of the notch is set in order to prevent deterioration of the sealing performance as in the case of a conventional contact seal in which the inside and outside of the seal are in communication. Since it is not necessary to manage strictly, an increase in manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

以上の実施の形態１及び２の説明においては、内側部材ＩＰに対して外側部材ＯＰが回転する構成を示したが、本発明は、外側部材ＯＰに対して内側部材ＩＰが回転する構成に対しても適用することができ、このような外側部材ＯＰに対して内側部材ＩＰが回転する構成であっても、上述の作用効果と同様の作用効果を奏する。

A contact seal that closes an annular opening A between the outer member OP and the inner member IP, covers the annular cored bar 12 with an elastic body 13, and uses the outer peripheral side end of the elastic body 13 as a seal lip and an inner diameter mounting portion. 11 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner diameter mounting portion with a notch communicating inward and outward in the axial direction, and on the inner surface in the axial direction of the inner diameter mounting portion from the radially outer surface of the inner diameter side blocking portion to the radially outer end portion. In a state where a notch that does not communicate with the inside and outside in the radial direction extending to the inside is formed and the sealed portion (inside the bearing) becomes negative pressure and the outer diameter side of the cored bar 12 and the elastic body 13 is tilted so as to move inward in the axial direction. Inner diameter side blocking part is the diameter of inner member IP Configured so as to be separated from the sidewall surface extending direction.

また、実施の形態２の構成で外側部材ＯＰに対して内側部材ＩＰが回転する場合は、外側部材ＯＰの内周面よりも径方向内側に位置して回転する内側部材ＩＰに取り付けられ、これら外側部材ＯＰ及び内側部材ＩＰ間の環状開口Ａを塞ぐ、環状の芯金１２に弾性体１３を被覆して該弾性体１３の外内周側端部をシールリップ及び内径装着部とした接触シール１１であり、前記内径装着部の内周面に軸方向内外に連通する切欠を形成し、前記内径装着部の軸方向内面に径方向内外に連通する切欠を形成するとともに、前記内径装着部の軸方向外面に、外径側遮断部の径方向内側面から径方向内側端部まで延びる径方向内外に連通しない切欠を形成し、被シール部（軸受内部等）が負圧になって芯金１２及び弾性体１３の外径側が軸方向内側に移動するように傾いた状態では前記外径側遮断部が内側部材ＩＰの側面を押さえる押え部材の径方向に延びる内面から離間するように構成される。   Further, when the inner member IP rotates with respect to the outer member OP in the configuration of the second embodiment, the inner member IP is attached to the inner member IP that rotates while being positioned radially inward from the inner peripheral surface of the outer member OP. A contact seal that closes an annular opening A between the outer member OP and the inner member IP, covers the annular cored bar 12 with an elastic body 13, and uses the outer peripheral side end of the elastic body 13 as a seal lip and an inner diameter mounting portion. 11 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the inner diameter mounting portion with a notch communicating inward and outward in the axial direction, the inner surface in the axial direction of the inner diameter mounting portion is formed with a notch communicating with the inner side in the radial direction, and A notch that does not communicate with the radially inner and outer ends extending from the radially inner side surface of the outer diameter side blocking portion to the radially inner end is formed on the outer surface in the axial direction, and the sealed portion (bearing inside, etc.) becomes negative pressure and the core metal 12 and the outer diameter side of the elastic body 13 are moved inward in the axial direction. It is in a tilted state to configured so as to be separated from the inner surface extending in the radial direction of the pressing member in which the outer diameter side blocking unit presses the side surface of the inner member IP.
