Conventionally, the most common method for vulcanizing after inserting an unvulcanized rubber hose into a molding mandrel has been to place a large number of mandrels in a vulcanization pot and directly supply pressure steam. In addition, for straight hoses that do not use a mandrel, there is a continuous vulcanization method using hot air at normal pressure.
It is known that hot air vulcanization has poor thermal efficiency and requires a long time for vulcanization.

However, with the vulcanization method using a vulcanization pot, the beauty of the rubber hose surface may be damaged due to the pressure steam.
Inner-layer-reinforced rubber hoses have the disadvantage that the reinforcing threads shrink or deteriorate significantly due to steam entering from the end face. A conventional technique to avoid this moisture-heat deterioration is to seal the end of an unvulcanized rubber hose and vulcanize it with steam (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 114041/1983).
A method using dry pressurized gas without using steam has been proposed (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-98833). However, in both cases, a vulcanizing pot was used as the vulcanizing device, which resulted in a batch type process, which prevented continuous production and resulted in poor productivity. In order to avoid such drawbacks, the present inventors investigated a method of continuous vulcanization using hot air at normal pressure. Heat absorption by the mandrel occurred at the same time, resulting in poor thermal efficiency for vulcanizing the rubber hose, and it took time for the mandrel to reach the temperature of 70°C or higher, which is suitable for vulcanizing the rubber hose, resulting in a long vulcanization time. .

The present invention was made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional method of vulcanizing rubber hoses using a molding mandrel. The unvulcanized rubber hose is inserted into a heated molding mandrel (maintained at a temperature of 70°C or higher, preferably 90°C or higher) and vulcanized with hot air at normal pressure. Here, in order to perform continuous vulcanization, the molding mandrel circulates between the vulcanization zone where the rubber hose is vulcanized by hot air and the outside air zone where the vulcanized rubber hose is removed and the unvulcanized rubber hose is inserted. In the zone, the temperature should be kept at a level (70°C or higher, preferably above 70°C, preferably
It is characterized by a continuous molding cycle that can maintain the mandrel at a sufficiently high temperature (90°C or higher).

According to the method of the present invention, heat absorption by the mandrel is eliminated, and sufficient heat can be efficiently supplied for vulcanization of rubber. Moreover, it can be obtained in a short vulcanization time.
Furthermore, in inner-layer reinforced hoses, direct steam vulcanization does not have any effect on reinforcing fibers such as vinylon fibers, polyester fibers, nylon fibers, and aramid fibers, which shrink or deteriorate during vulcanization.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to Examples. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an inner layer reinforced hose used as a heater hose for an automobile. Such a hose is manufactured by first using two bundt extruders that extrude an inner rubber layer 1 and an outer rubber layer 2, and a crosshead that is connected to these extruders and introduces a band-shaped knitted fabric in the longitudinal direction of the hose. A reinforcing layer 4 having a continuous overlapping portion 3 is disposed between the inner rubber layer 1 and the outer rubber layer 2 by coextrusion. The rubber used in this example was an EPDM compound with a Wallace hardness of 70, and the reinforcing knitted fabric was made of nylon 66 fibers that were braided and then coated with a resin and dried. This unvulcanized rubber hose with an inner diameter of φ16 and a wall thickness of 4 mm was inserted into a pre-heated iron molding mandrel and vulcanized in hot air at normal pressure. This will be explained in detail with reference to FIG. 2, which is an example of the device. The molding mandrel 5 is attached to a mandrel support 9 that circulates between the outside air zone 6 and the hot air vulcanization zone 7 by a drive unit 8, and after inserting the unvulcanized rubber hose, it is moved from the outside air zone 6 to the hot air vulcanization zone 7. entered and vulcanized. The hot air is normally controlled within a constant temperature range of 140°C to 200°C, and is
It is blown out into the vulcanization zone 7 and circulated through the circulation duct 11 to the heating section. The vulcanization zone 7 and the outside air zone 6 are separated by an opening/closing door 12 or the like. The vulcanized rubber hoses are immediately removed one after another in the open air zone 6 and the next unvulcanized rubber hose is inserted.
In this example, a φ16 iron molding mandrel was used, the number of mandrel supports was 8, and the hot air temperature was
The temperature was 170℃. Outside air zone residence time 130 at ambient temperature 12℃
The mandrel temperature immediately before inserting the unvulcanized rubber hose was at least 93°C. The hardness of the rubber of the heater hose vulcanized under the conditions of vulcanization time of 15 minutes and 10 seconds was 70 Wallace hardness, and the bursting pressure due to water pressure was 18.5 Kgf/cm 2 . As a comparative example, the same unvulcanized rubber hose was vulcanized for 15 minutes at a steam pressure of 6 Kgf/cm 2 in a steam pot.The rubber hardness of the hose was 67 Wallace hardness, and the bursting pressure due to water pressure was 17 Kgf/cm 2 from both ends. 5~
The 10mm reinforcing thread had shrunk and disappeared. In addition, in the above-mentioned vulcanization method using normal pressure hot air, the unvulcanized rubber hose was vulcanized by inserting it into a mandrel cooled to room temperature (actual temperature 25 °C) under the same conditions as in the example, and the hose had a Wallace hardness of 60 or less. There were unvulcanized rubber parts. As described above, the molding mandrel circulates between the hot air vulcanization zone and the outside air zone where the vulcanized rubber is removed and the unvulcanized rubber hose is inserted, and when the unvulcanized rubber hose is inserted in the outside air zone, the mandrel absorbs heat. 70℃ or higher, preferably 90℃
By using a cycle capable of maintaining a temperature of .degree. C. or higher, it was possible to continuously obtain a vulcanized rubber hose of satisfactory quality from an unvulcanized rubber hose in a short period of time.

As is clear from the above description, the method of the present invention is an efficient hot air vulcanization method at normal pressure, and
Since this method utilizes a normal pressure hot air vulcanization device that circulates endlessly between the outside air zone and the vulcanization zone by driving a mandrel support, it has the following excellent effects. The surface of the rubber hose is beautiful. Continuous production of molded hoses is possible in conjunction with an extruder. It is possible to use a robot to remove the vulcanized rubber hose from the mandrel. In an inner layer reinforced hose, there is no shrinkage or deterioration of the reinforcing yarn due to moist heat that occurs in steam vulcanization, and it is also possible to prevent adhesion between the inner tube rubber and the outer rubber. Because it is at normal pressure, there is no risk of disaster due to residual pressure as seen in steam kettles. Since heating air is circulated, the energy cost required for vulcanization is low. That is, according to the method of the present invention, a high quality rubber hose can be obtained efficiently and at low cost.
