特開2001−336523号公報JP 2001-336523 A 特開平9−42271号公報JP-A-9-42271 特開平7−26825号公報JP-A-7-26825

回転式ダンパとしては、粘性ダンパといわれる流体を用いたもの、摩擦を用いたものが知られている。   As rotary dampers, those using a fluid called a viscous damper and those using friction are known.

流体を用いた回転式ダンパは、大きな減衰を確保できる一方、流体の漏出というシール性の問題及び温度の相違により減衰が大きく異なるという温度依存性の問題がある。   While a rotary damper using a fluid can ensure a large attenuation, it has a problem of sealing performance such as fluid leakage and a temperature dependency problem that the attenuation varies greatly depending on the temperature difference.

摩擦を用いた回転式ダンパは、シール性を考慮する必要がない上に、減衰に関して温度変化の影響を受け難いが、特許文献1に記載の回転式摩擦ダンパでは、比較的大きな摩擦面を必要とする結果、小型化を図ることが困難であり、特許文献2及び3に記載の回転式摩擦ダンパでは、安定な摩擦力を得ることが困難である。   The rotary damper using friction does not need to consider the sealing performance and is not easily affected by temperature change with respect to damping. However, the rotary friction damper described in Patent Document 1 requires a relatively large friction surface. As a result, it is difficult to reduce the size, and it is difficult to obtain a stable friction force in the rotary friction dampers described in Patent Documents 2 and 3.

本発明は、前記諸点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、安定で比較的大きな摩擦力を得ることができ、而して、小型化を図ることができる回転式摩擦ダンパを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and the object of the present invention is to obtain a stable and relatively large frictional force, and thus a rotary friction that can be reduced in size. To provide a damper.

本発明の回転式摩擦ダンパは、径方向に突出した突起及びこの突起を受容すると共に径方向に凹んだ凹所のうちの一方を有すると共に回転軸に固定される合成樹脂製の内筒と、径方向に突出した突起及びこの突起を受容すると共に径方向に凹んだ凹所のうちの他方を有すると共に内筒を回転自在に支持する一方、ハウジングに固定される合成樹脂製の外筒とを具備しており、突起は、その外面で凹所を規定する凹所面に接触している。   The rotary friction damper of the present invention includes a synthetic resin inner cylinder that has one of a radially protruding protrusion and a radially recessed recess that receives the protrusion and is fixed to the rotating shaft. A radially projecting protrusion and the other of the radially recessed recesses for receiving the protrusion and rotatably supporting the inner cylinder, and a synthetic resin outer cylinder fixed to the housing. And the protrusion is in contact with the recess surface defining the recess at its outer surface.

本発明の回転式摩擦ダンパによれば、径方向に突出した突起とこの突起を受容する凹所とを具備し、突起の外面は、凹所を規定する凹所面に接触しているために、安定で比較的大きな摩擦力を得ることができ、而して、小型化を図ることができる。   According to the rotary friction damper of the present invention, it has a protrusion protruding in the radial direction and a recess that receives the protrusion, and the outer surface of the protrusion is in contact with the recess surface that defines the recess. Thus, a stable and relatively large frictional force can be obtained, and thus the size can be reduced.

内筒及び外筒の形成材料としての合成樹脂は、耐摩耗性に優れ、安定した摩擦力が得られる材料が好ましく、具体的には、ポリアセタール樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート樹脂、液晶ポリエステル樹脂、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル樹脂、ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂、ポリエーテルスルホン樹脂、ポリエーテルケトン樹脂のうちの少なくとも一つを含む合成樹脂等を挙げることができる。これら合成樹脂には各種充填材を配合してもよい。そして、内筒及び外筒を形成する合成樹脂の組合せ、配合する充填材を変えることにより、得られる摩擦特性を調整できる。   The synthetic resin as a material for forming the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder is preferably a material having excellent wear resistance and a stable frictional force. Specifically, polyacetal resin, polyamide resin, polybutylene terephthalate resin, liquid crystal polyester resin And a synthetic resin containing at least one of a modified polyphenylene ether resin, a polyphenylene sulfide resin, a polyether sulfone resin, and a polyether ketone resin. These synthetic resins may be blended with various fillers. And the friction characteristic obtained can be adjusted by changing the combination of the synthetic resin which forms an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, and the filler to mix | blend.

本発明では、内筒は、径方向外方向に突出した突起を具備し、外筒は、この突起を受容すると共に径方向外方向に凹んだ凹所を具備していてもよく、これに代えて又はこれと共に、外筒は、径方向内方向に突出した突起を具備し、内筒は、この突起を受容すると共に径方向内方向に凹んだ凹所を具備していてもよい。   In the present invention, the inner cylinder may include a protrusion protruding in the radially outward direction, and the outer cylinder may include a recess that receives the protrusion and is recessed in the radially outward direction. Alternatively, the outer cylinder may include a protrusion protruding in the radially inward direction, and the inner cylinder may include a recess that receives the protrusion and is recessed in the radially inward direction.

好ましい例では、突起は、台形状(楔状)の断面を有した少なくとも一つの円環状の突部を有しており、凹所は、突部に相補的な形状を有している円環状の凹部を有している。このような突部は、一つでもよいが、軸方向に沿って配列された複数個であってもよく、複数個の突部から突起がなっている場合には、凹部もまた、各突部を受容するために、軸方向に沿って配列された複数個であるとよい。   In a preferred example, the protrusion has at least one annular protrusion having a trapezoidal (wedge-shaped) cross section, and the recess has an annular shape having a shape complementary to the protrusion. Has a recess. There may be one such protrusion, but there may be a plurality of protrusions arranged along the axial direction. In order to receive a part, it is good to be a plurality arranged along the axial direction.

一つの例では、外筒は、軸方向において二つに分割されており、二つに分割されて軸方向の一方の分割体と軸方向の他方の分割体とからなる外筒において、当該一方の分割体と他方の分割体とは、その分割面で互いに対面されて連結手段により互いに連結されており、この例の場合、好ましくは、各分割体は、その分割面側に鍔部を有しており、連結手段は、両鍔部を弾性的に抱持する拡径自在な円環体を具備している。   In one example, the outer cylinder is divided into two parts in the axial direction. In the outer cylinder that is divided into two parts and includes one divided body in the axial direction and the other divided body in the axial direction, The divided body and the other divided body face each other at their divided surfaces and are connected to each other by a connecting means. In this example, each divided body preferably has a flange on the divided surface side. In addition, the connecting means includes a ring body having a freely expandable diameter that elastically holds both flange portions.

他の一つの例では、外筒は、周方向において少なくとも二つに分割されており、少なくとも二つに分割されて一方の分割体と他方の分割体とからなる外筒において、当該一方の分割体と他方の分割体とは、その分割面で互いに対面されて連結手段により互いに連結されており、この例の場合、好ましくは、各分割体は、外周面に周方向に伸びた少なくとも一つの溝を有した半円筒部を具備しており、連結手段は、半円筒部の夫々の溝を通って周方向に伸びた弾性環状体を具備している。   In another example, the outer cylinder is divided into at least two parts in the circumferential direction, and the outer cylinder is divided into at least two parts and includes one divided body and the other divided body. The body and the other divided body face each other at their divided surfaces and are connected to each other by connecting means. In this example, preferably, each divided body has at least one circumferentially extending on the outer peripheral surface. A semi-cylindrical portion having a groove is provided, and the connecting means includes an elastic annular body extending in the circumferential direction through each groove of the semi-cylindrical portion.

分割体を介して内筒を締め付ける弾性環状体は、好ましくは、天然ゴム製又は合成ゴム製のいわゆるOリングであってもよく、その他の弾性を有する熱可塑性合成樹脂、例えばポリエステルエラストマーであってもよい。   The elastic annular body that clamps the inner cylinder through the divided body may preferably be a so-called O-ring made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, or other thermoplastic synthetic resin having elasticity, such as a polyester elastomer. Also good.

他の好ましい例では、突起は、螺旋状突部を有しており、凹所は、螺旋状突部を受容する螺旋状凹部を有しており、外筒の内周面は、その外周面に対して軸方向に移動自在となっている。   In another preferred example, the protrusion has a spiral protrusion, the recess has a spiral recess that receives the spiral protrusion, and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder is the outer peripheral surface thereof. In contrast, it is movable in the axial direction.

斯かる螺旋状突部を有した突起と螺旋状突部を受容する螺旋状凹部を有した凹所とを具備している場合には、螺旋状突部の外面と螺旋状凹部を規定する凹所面との摩擦により大きな摩擦力を得ることができ、而して、より小型化を図ることができて好ましい。   When the projection having the spiral projection and the recess having the spiral recess for receiving the spiral projection are provided, the outer surface of the spiral projection and the recess defining the spiral recess are provided. It is preferable that a large frictional force can be obtained by friction with the surface, and that further downsizing can be achieved.

螺旋状突部の好ましい例は、雄ねじであって、螺旋状凹部の好ましい例は、雄ねじに螺合する雌ねじである。   A preferable example of the spiral protrusion is an external thread, and a preferable example of the spiral recess is an internal thread that is screwed into the external thread.

内周面が外周面に対して軸方向に移動自在となっている外筒の好ましい一つの例は、内周面で内筒を回転自在に支持する内径側の合成樹脂製の筒体と、この筒体の外周面に少なくとも軸方向に滑り移動自在に接触する内周面を有すると共にハウジングに固定される外周面を有した外径側の合成樹脂製の筒体とを具備している。   One preferred example of the outer cylinder whose inner peripheral surface is movable in the axial direction with respect to the outer peripheral surface is a cylindrical body made of synthetic resin on the inner diameter side that rotatably supports the inner cylinder on the inner peripheral surface; A cylindrical body made of synthetic resin on the outer diameter side having an inner peripheral surface that is slidably contacted at least in the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body and has an outer peripheral surface fixed to the housing.

斯かる外周面と内周面とで軸方向に滑り接触する内径側及び外径側の筒体を具備した外筒によれば、滑り接触する部位での摩擦力を利用できるために、更により大きな摩擦力を得ることができ、而して、更により小型化を図ることができて好ましい。   According to the outer cylinder provided with the cylindrical body on the inner diameter side and the outer diameter side that are in sliding contact with each other in the axial direction between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface, since the frictional force at the sliding contact portion can be used, A large frictional force can be obtained, and thus further downsizing can be achieved.

好ましい例では、内径側の筒体は、一方の端面から軸方向に伸びた少なくとも一つのスリットを有しており、この場合、内径側の筒体は、外周面に周方向に伸びた少なくとも一つの環状溝を有しており、当該環状溝に装着されている弾性環状体により弾性的に縮径されるようになっているとよい。   In a preferred example, the cylinder on the inner diameter side has at least one slit extending in the axial direction from one end surface, and in this case, the cylinder on the inner diameter side is at least one extending in the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface. It is good to have one annular groove and to be elastically reduced in diameter by the elastic annular body with which the said annular groove was mounted | worn.

弾性環状体により弾性的に縮径されるようになっている内径側の筒体を具備していると、内径側の筒体の締め代をもって内筒を締め付けることができ、滑り接触する部位での摩擦力を大きくでき、したがって、更により大きな摩擦力を得ることができて、更により小型化を図ることができる。   The inner cylinder can be tightened with the tightening margin of the inner diameter side cylinder when the inner diameter side cylinder is elastically reduced in diameter by the elastic annular body. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a larger frictional force and to further reduce the size.

内径側の筒体を介して内筒を回転軸を締め付ける弾性環状体は、分割体を介して内筒を締め付ける弾性環状体と同様に、好ましくは、天然ゴム製又は合成ゴム製のいわゆるOリングであってもよく、その他の弾性を有する熱可塑性合成樹脂、例えばポリエステルエラストマーであってもよい。   The elastic annular body for tightening the rotation axis of the inner cylinder via the inner diameter side cylindrical body is preferably a so-called O-ring made of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, like the elastic annular body for tightening the inner cylinder via the divided body. It may be a thermoplastic synthetic resin having other elasticity, for example, a polyester elastomer.

斯かる弾性環状体は、外径側の筒体の内周面に軸方向に滑り移動自在に弾性接触するように、又は、これに代えて、外径側の筒体の内周面に非接触となるように、内径側の筒体の環状溝に装着されていてもよい。   Such an elastic annular body is not elastically contacted with the inner peripheral surface of the outer diameter side cylindrical body, or alternatively, is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer diameter side cylindrical body. It may be mounted in the annular groove of the cylindrical body on the inner diameter side so as to be in contact.

弾性環状体を外径側の筒体の内周面に弾性接触させると、弾性環状体と外径側の筒体との摩擦力を利用でき、これにより、更により大きな摩擦力を得ることができて、而して、更により小型化を図ることができる。   When the elastic annular body is brought into elastic contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer diameter side cylindrical body, the frictional force between the elastic annular body and the outer diameter side cylindrical body can be utilized, thereby obtaining a larger frictional force. Thus, further downsizing can be achieved.

本発明によれば、安定で比較的大きな摩擦力を得ることができ、而して、小型化を図ることができる回転式摩擦ダンパを提供することができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rotary friction damper that can obtain a stable and relatively large frictional force and can be downsized.

次に本発明を、図に示す好ましい実施の形態の例を参照して更に詳細に説明する。なお、本発明はこれらの例に何等限定されないのである。   The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the preferred embodiment examples shown in the drawings. The present invention is not limited to these examples.

以上の回転式摩擦ダンパ1では、回転軸3のR方向の回転で内筒8もR方向に回転され、内筒8のR方向の回転で、ハウジング15に固定された外筒13の凹所面11を有する内周面12と内筒8の内筒本体5の外周面6並びに突起7の一対の截頭円錐面22及び円筒面23からなる外面10との間に滑り摩擦が生じて、この滑り摩擦でもって回転軸3のR方向の回転に減衰を生じさせる。そして、回転式摩擦ダンパ1では、径方向に突出した突部21の外面10と突部21の外面10に接触する凹所面11とを具備しているために、滑り摩擦面を大きくできて回転軸3のR方向の回転に減衰を生じさせる比較的大きな摩擦力を安定に得ることができ、而して、小型化を図ることができる。   In the rotary friction damper 1 described above, the inner cylinder 8 is also rotated in the R direction by the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 in the R direction, and the recess of the outer cylinder 13 fixed to the housing 15 by the rotation of the inner cylinder 8 in the R direction. Sliding friction occurs between the inner peripheral surface 12 having the surface 11 and the outer peripheral surface 6 of the inner cylinder main body 5 of the inner cylinder 8 and the outer surface 10 composed of the pair of frustoconical surfaces 22 and the cylindrical surface 23 of the projections 7. This sliding friction causes attenuation in the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 in the R direction.

図18及び図19に示す回転式摩擦ダンパ1では、筒体本体185自体の合成樹脂の弾性力に加えて弾性環状体201の弾性力により筒体本体185の雌ねじ面からなる凹所面11を内筒8の螺旋状突部171に締め代をもって螺合させることができる結果、螺旋状突部171の雄ねじ面からなる外面10と螺旋状凹部172を規定する雌ねじ面からなる凹所面11との間の滑り摩擦面での摩擦抵抗を大きくでき、而して、回転軸3のR方向の回転に減衰を生じさせる比較的大きな摩擦力を安定に得ることができ、より小型化を図ることができる。   In the rotary friction damper 1 shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the concave surface 11 formed by the female thread surface of the cylindrical body 185 is formed by the elastic force of the elastic annular body 201 in addition to the elastic force of the synthetic resin of the cylindrical body 185 itself. As a result of being able to be screwed into the helical protrusion 171 of the inner cylinder 8 with a tightening margin, the outer surface 10 made of a male screw surface of the helical protrusion 171 and the concave surface 11 made of a female screw surface defining the helical recess 172, The frictional resistance on the sliding friction surface between the two can be increased, and thus a relatively large frictional force that causes the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 in the R direction can be stably obtained, and the size can be further reduced. Can do.

斯かる弾性環状体201を用いる場合、図18及び図19に示すように、弾性環状体201は、その外周面205が筒体本体191の内周面177にA方向に滑り移動自在に弾性接触するように、環状溝202に装着されていても、図20に示すように、その外周面205が筒体本体191の内周面177に非接触となるように、環状溝202に装着されていてもよく、前者の場合は、回転軸3のR方向の回転で弾性環状体201の外周面205と筒体本体191の内周面177との間の摩擦面での摩擦を用いることができ、回転軸3のR方向の回転に減衰を生じさせる比較的大きな摩擦力を安定に得ることができ、更により小型化を図ることができる。   When such an elastic annular body 201 is used, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the elastic annular body 201 has an outer peripheral surface 205 in elastic contact with the inner peripheral surface 177 of the cylindrical body 191 so as to be slidable in the A direction. As shown in FIG. 20, the outer peripheral surface 205 is mounted in the annular groove 202 so that the outer peripheral surface 205 is not in contact with the inner peripheral surface 177 of the cylindrical body 191. In the former case, the friction on the friction surface between the outer peripheral surface 205 of the elastic annular body 201 and the inner peripheral surface 177 of the cylindrical body 191 can be used by the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 in the R direction. A relatively large frictional force that causes attenuation in the rotation of the rotating shaft 3 in the R direction can be stably obtained, and further downsizing can be achieved.
