2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method for producing a porous ceramic is to use a resin sponge containing a soap solution in a bathroom or the like, that is, urethane foam, which is a polymer material, which is set in a plaster mold and then water. Slurry (hereinafter also referred to as a slurry), which is a mixed solution of the ceramic particles and the sintering aid, is poured into the gypsum mold to absorb water, and the ceramic particles and the sintering aid are gradually landed on the surface of the gypsum mold. Let it grow. In this way, a sponge containing a sponge and having the same shape as a mold is completed. On the other hand, when the cast product is just dried, the bonding force between the ceramic particles is extremely weak and it has a feeling very similar to chalk, that is, the chalk used on the blackboard, so it can be used for cutting, drilling, sandpaper finishing, etc. It can be machined easily. A cast product that has been machined and shaped is called a raw product. The porous ceramics described above are manufactured by a very general method called a mud casting method. When the green processed product is sintered, the ceramic particles are firmly bonded to each other, and the resin sponge contained therein is burned and vaporized, so that the porous ceramics can be fired by forming pores in which the originally sponge parts are connected. This is called a baked product.
The resin sponge has a structure in which mesh-like lattices are three-dimensionally connected, and at least 90% or more of them are pores. The structure is such that when foaming, it expands individually and the interface of the adjacent bubble-like bubbles is gas pressure, causing all to puncture.Because all the pores are also continuous, a large amount of water or soap solution passes through. It is a well known fact that it can be absorbed or retained.

The problems to be solved in the above-described method for producing a porous ceramic will be described. The first problem is that the resin-made sponge, which is the base material for forming the porous ceramic, is extremely flexible, has no grip, and is easily deformed. This makes shaping the sponge difficult. That is, it is difficult to fix the resin sponge before hitting the blade, and if you try to cut with the blade, it deforms before it cuts, so even if it is a simple shape it is accurate and the desired shape It is extremely difficult to obtain. Especially if it has a complicated shape, it is almost impossible. This is a drawback that a complicated and accurate ceramic partially porous body cannot be formed.

The second problem is that when the casting product is machined, the resin sponge causes the blade to entangle and expand and contract, which causes collapse of the casting product which is originally liable to collapse. It occurs at the boundary between the sponge and the ceramic particles. When porous ceramic is used as a material for hydrostatic bearings, the collapse of the porous surface layer serves as a passageway for the fluid itself, and the fluid throttling effect here has a fatal adverse effect on the performance of the fluid bearing. As a result, it is a drawback that it is difficult to apply to fluid bearings. As described above, the first problem in the prior art is the inability to process the shape of the resin sponge, and the second problem is the processing collapse of the porous part of the casting, which is caused by the flexibility or stretchability of the resin sponge. That said.

The porous ceramic is manufactured by casting ceramic sludge into a carbonized porous body that has been processed into a desired shape to produce a porous ceramic, and only a specific part is a porous ceramic structure, or this structure is used.

FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view showing an example of a porous ceramic forming base material, which is obtained by machining a carbonized porous body. Examples of the material of the carbonized porous body include a foamed phenol resin, or a felt product in which carbon fibers are entangled with each other and the intersections are adhesively bonded, and an appropriate carbonized porous body can be manufactured by firing these in an oxygen-free atmosphere. However, it is needless to say that the carbonized porous body is not limited to this, and may be a carbonized porous body having a structure in which mesh-like lattices are three-dimensionally connected as described above. When a conventional urethane foam sponge is carbonized, it is a thermoplastic resin, so it shrinks and fluidizes before it is carbonized, and the porous structure is lost. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to prevent shrinkage fluidization before carbonization. The base material for forming a porous ceramic using a carbonized porous body loses the flexibility and stretchability peculiar to the conventional resin sponge, and is provided with hardness and strength preferable as a base material for forming a porous ceramic. In other words, it is a product similar to charcoal obtained by carbonizing wood that was used in large quantities as a heat source for heating and cooking a few years ago, or a product similar to briquette or bean charcoal. This carbonized porous body has a property very similar to the dried state of the above-mentioned cast product. That is, if the ceramic cast product is chalk and the carbonized porous body is charcoal, the properties of both can be easily imagined.

As a specific application to a hydrostatic bearing, the production of a porous ceramic used in a radial bearing that supports the rotating shaft in the radial direction will be described below as an example. Here, the porous ceramic forming base material shown in FIG. 1 is a bearing forming base material forming a hydrostatic radial bearing, and a part thereof is cut away for easy understanding. The bearing forming base material 1 has an integral structure in which the flanges 3 located at both ends of the tube 2 project toward the inside of the cylinder, provided that the inner diameter of the upper flange is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the lower flange. Needless to say, it is extremely difficult to process such a shape with a conventional resin sponge.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the structure of the casting molding jig, which is the casting molding jig of the bearing forming base material 1 shown in FIG. Reference numeral 4 is a gypsum mold in which a through hole is formed inside the tapered shaft, and the bearing forming base material 1 is fitted and fixed to the taper shaft of the gypsum mold 4 by utilizing the difference in inner diameters of the flanges 3 above and below the bearing forming base material 1. I am doing it. Reference numeral 5 denotes a container in which the slurry 6 is placed around the gypsum mold 4, and the gypsum mold 4 and the container 5 are hermetically sealed below the container 5 so as to be detachable from each other and connected by bolts 7. The above is the main body of the casting molding jig, 8 is the bench having the opening hole in the center for mounting the casting molding jig main body, and 9 is the tray. Also, a broken line 10 shown in the figure is a ceramic particle lump grown by landing on the surface of the gypsum mold 4 and showing the outer shape thereof. Since the bearing forming base material 1 made of a carbonized porous body is set in the gypsum mold 4 and the slurry 6 is poured into the container 5, the water content in the slurry 6 is gradually added to the gypsum mold 4 because of the above structure. The ceramic particles in the slurry 6 settle on the surface of the gypsum mold 4 and gradually grow. As a result, the water in the slurry 6 will eventually disappear, and a bell-shaped cast product that includes the bearing forming base material 1 around the gypsum mold 4 will be completed. In order to remove the cast product from the jig, the bolt 7 connecting the gypsum mold 4 and the container 5 is removed, and the gypsum mold 4 is pushed downward, so that the gypsum mold 4 has a taper axis. It goes without saying that the ceramic particle agglomerates 10 as the inserts and the gypsum mold 4 can be separated, and thereafter, the cast products may be dried and processed into a desired shape, and then main firing. In addition, the bearing forming base material 1
The gypsum mold 4 is set by a method of fitting on the taper shaft, that is, the gypsum mold 4 is positioned and fixed. In the conventional method, there is a problem in setting in the casting molding jig that does not lose the shape of the resin sponge.

FIG. 3 is an example of the structure of a hydrostatic radial bearing, which is a three-dimensional view with a part broken away to facilitate understanding.
It is manufactured from a cast product in which the above-mentioned bearing forming base material 1 is included. Reference numeral 11 is a bearing, 12 is a ceramic porous portion completed in the bearing 11 by burning and vaporizing a carbonized porous body by firing, and 13 is drilled from the outer cylindrical surface 14 of the bearing 11 toward the ceramic porous portion 12 before firing. One of a large number of fluid supply holes 15 is a porous ring that opens in a cylindrical shape on the inner cylindrical surface 16 of the bearing 11. The above is an integral structure because it is a fired product by cast molding. Reference numeral 17 is a rotating shaft fitted to the inner cylindrical surface 16 of the bearing 11 with a very small gap. In order to form a minute gap between the bearing 11 and the rotary shaft 17, the inner cylindrical surface 16 of the bearing 11 and the outer diameter of the rotary shaft 17 may be precisely ground by a diamond grindstone or the like after firing. With this structure,
When the high-pressure fluid is supplied from the supply hole 13, the high-pressure fluid is discharged from the porous ring 15 into the minute gap between the bearing 11 and the rotary shaft 17 through the porous ceramic portion 12 as a passage, and the high-pressure fluid rotates with the bearing due to the fluid pressure. The shaft 17 can be supported without contact, and a hydrostatic radial bearing can be configured.

As described above, it has been shown that a hydrostatic radial bearing can be extremely easily manufactured by using the conventional cast molding method by using the carbonized porous body as the forming base material. It should be noted that the radial bearing is merely an example, and the present invention can be used to significantly improve the degree of freedom in selecting the shape of the porous portion formed in the ceramic, the dimensional accuracy, the quality of the porous surface layer, etc. For example, various hydrostatic bearings using porous ceramics, such as thrust bearings that support the axial direction of the rotating shaft, slider bearings that support the feed-perpendicular direction of the straight guide, or porous static bearings that are spiral guides. It goes without saying that it can be used for manufacturing a pressure screw or the like, and gas or liquid such as air or oil can be used as the fluid.

As described above, according to the present invention,
Porous ceramic using the carbonized porous body as a base material by including a step of casting ceramic mud into a carbonized porous body processed into a desired shape, and a step of burning and vaporizing the carbonized porous body. Compared with the conventional method that uses a resin sponge as the forming base material, it is possible to easily and inexpensively form a forming base material with much more variety of shapes and dimensional accuracy using ordinary machining, and cast it. Easy to set on the molding jig. Also, in the shape processing of the ceramic cast product manufactured using this, since the mechanical strength between the carbonized porous body and the ceramic particles is similar, the blade is made of resin sponge as in the past. Since it is possible to prevent the surface layer of the cast product from collapsing due to entanglement with the ceramics, it is possible to produce a ceramic fired product containing a porous ceramic having a very good quality of the porous surface layer. Further, as described in the manufacture of a hydrostatic bearing using a radial bearing as an example, it is necessary to make only a limited specific portion of the bearing surface porous, or to use the enclosed porous portion as a fluid passage. If the manufacturing method of the present invention is used for manufacturing a hydrostatic bearing, it is possible to provide a hydrostatic bearing that has been impossible to manufacture in the past with high quality and at low cost.
