Description of the Related Art A conventional ceramic push rod has an elongated shape in which the length of the rod is about 20 to 30 times its diameter, so that it is easily deformed during firing. Therefore, in order to avoid the firing deformation as much as possible, a ceramic material is pressed into a columnar shape, and a hole 20a for a hanging tool is formed in the pressed push rod 20, and as shown in FIG. The hanging tool 21 is inserted and hooked on the sheath 22 of the baking furnace and hung, and the hanging tool 21 is pulled out or, as shown in FIG. 7, the hanging part 21a is hooked on the sheath of the baking furnace.

In addition, since the hooked portion 23 must be cut after firing, and the concave spherical base 24 must be roughly formed by polishing at the end on the cut side, processing time is increased and the cost is increased.

必要がなく、加工時間を短縮できコストを低減できる。When the hole for the hanging tool is divided into three equal parts in the axial direction, the hole excluding the central part is located at a distance of at least 5 mm from both the concave spherical base and the convex spherical base, and is independently and axially separated. Since it is penetrated so as to be perpendicular to, the rigidity, strength and firing deformation are not adversely affected. In addition, a hole for a hanging tool is provided through a push rod in which the spherical portions at both ends are formed in a near net shape by casting, and a hanging tool is inserted into the hole for the hanging tool,
The hanging tool is hooked on the sheath of the firing furnace to fire the push rod, and after firing, the hanging tool is removed, and the near-net-shaped concave spherical base and convex spherical base are simply polished to produce a product. In addition, there is no need to cut the hooked portion or rough-process the concave spherical base by polishing, so that the processing time can be shortened and the cost can be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 1, an elongated ceramic push rod 1 having a concave spherical base 1a at one end and a convex spherical base 1b at the other end is molded into a near net shape by casting a ceramic material made of sintered silicon nitride, zirconia, or the like. .

吊り具用孔2を設けることは避けた方が良い。A hole 2 for a hanging tool is formed at a position described below so that the rigidity, strength and firing deformation of the ceramic push rod 1 are not adversely affected. It is desirable that the hole for the hanging tool be formed on the base end side as much as possible. When the entire length is at least approximately equal to three, the Z part of the X and Z parts excluding the central Y part, and the convex spherical base part 1b From 5
At a position separated by not less than mm, the hole 2 for a hanging tool is penetrated independently and perpendicular to the axis. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, when the entire length is approximately divided into three equal parts, the hanging tool hole 2 is the X part of the X and Z parts excluding the central Y part,
Further, it may be provided at a position 5 mm or more away from the concave spherical base 1a. When the entire length is divided into approximately three equal parts, the central Y portion is subjected to a high stress during use, and, during firing, a portion protruding above the sheath of the firing furnace is likely to bend.
It is better to avoid providing the hole 2 for the hanging tool.

The ceramic push rod 1 is hooked to the sheath 4 and fired. After firing, the ceramic bar 3 is removed, and the spherical base 1a and the convex spherical surface 1b, which have been subjected to the near net shape molding, are polished to obtain a product.

択するだけで良くなる。The method and the shape of the ceramic push rod and the ceramic bar in the above embodiment and the position where the hole for the hanging tool is provided are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and departs from the object and spirit of the present invention. It can be changed appropriately within a range not to be performed. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the same effect can be obtained by providing a stepped portion on the cylindrical end side, but the protruded stepped portion 25 in FIG. Undesirably, the groove-shaped stepped portion 26 as shown in FIG. 9 must be set to a groove depth in consideration of firing shrinkage, and may be shifted from the position set in the sheath 22 during shrinkage. On the other hand, the diameter of the hanging portion must be significantly smaller than the diameter of the outer cylindrical portion, and in a push rod in which the outer cylindrical portion diameter is often set to about φ10, it is not preferable to set the groove as the hanging portion. If the hanging portion is designed as a hole, it is sufficient to select only the diameter of the hanging tool with respect to the hole diameter.

れた効果を奏するものである。As described above, the ceramic push rod according to the present invention has a convex spherical base and a concave spherical base except for the central part when the hole for the hanging tool is divided into three equal parts in the axial direction. 5 mm or more from any of the above, since it is provided alone and penetrating perpendicular to the axis, high stress is not applied to the portion where the hole for the hanging tool is provided,
The weight is reduced by the amount of the hole for the hanging tool. Further, in the manufacturing method of the present invention, a push rod shape having spherical bases at both ends is formed in near net shape, a hole for a hanging tool is formed in at least one end side, and the hanging tool is fitted into the hole for the hanging tool. After inserting, hanging and baking, after firing, it is only necessary to grind the spherical base at both ends, so that ceramic material can be saved, and compared to the conventional method, the hooked part can be cut or the concave spherical base is polished. The step of performing rough processing is omitted, and a practically excellent effect is exhibited, for example, the processing time can be significantly reduced and the cost can be reduced.
