ーブの製造は困難である。2. Description of the Related Art In a fuel filler tube or an air cleaner tube for an automobile, a part or all of the tube has a bellows shape for the purpose of improving impact resistance.
Because of the complicated shape of bellows, most of these products are manufactured by die molding such as indie molding. However, with such a molding method, it is difficult to manufacture a multilayer rubber tube having different rubber materials in the inner layer and the outer layer.

特公平２−１６６９２に開示されている。Rubber tubes and rubber hoses having a multilayer structure without bellows are often used for automobiles, and they can be easily obtained by extrusion molding. A method for manufacturing a vulcanized rubber tube having a bellows shape by externally fitting an extruded unvulcanized rubber tube to a mandrel having a bellows shape and having a communication hole, and depressurizing the inside of the mandrel during vulcanization is ,
It is disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 2-16692.

ラブルの原因となる危険がある。However, in the bellows tube obtained by this method, it is unavoidable that thread-like projections of about several millimeters are formed on the inner surface due to the rubber flowing along the communication holes of the hollow mandrel. There is a risk that the protrusions may obstruct the flow of fluid flowing inside or may break during use, causing unexpected trouble.

のタイミングの調整が非常に困難である。As a method for preventing the formation of these thread-like projections, Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-86246 proposes a method of forming a bellows shape by depressurization and then applying pressure until the pressure inside the mandrel becomes equal to the external pressure. . But this method
It is very difficult to adjust the softening flow of unvulcanized rubber by heating and the timing of curing by vulcanization reaction.

It is to be manufactured by a method that does not require adjustment.

することができる。The essential features of the present invention are:
It is to use the cure bug to form the bellows. That is, according to the present invention, a vulcanized rubber tube-shaped curing bag is externally fitted to a mandrel having a hollow portion and a large number of communication holes penetrating from the hollow portion to the outside, and both ends thereof are sealed, After fitting the unvulcanized rubber tube to this, it is charged into a mold having a bellows shape, pressure is applied to the inside of the mandrel while heating to inflate the curing bag, and along with this, the softened fluidized unvulcanized rubber tube. The desired rubber tube with a bellows can be molded by pressing and spreading the resin along a bellows-shaped mold and heating in that state.

な内面に仕上がる。The bellows-provided rubber tube obtained by the method of the present invention has no thread-like protrusions or parting lines on the inner surface and is pressed against the vulcanized rubber mandrel during vulcanization. , Even if the inside of the tube of the unvulcanized rubber tube that has been charged is a little rough, the inside surface will be smooth.

ゴム材料でも差し支えない。It is necessary that the vulcanized rubber tube-shaped curing material used has a certain degree of heat resistance at the vulcanization temperature and can withstand bellows-like deformation.
Specifically, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene acrylic rubber, acrylic rubber, silicon rubber, fluorine rubber, or the like can be used. The curing bag must be easily separated from the vulcanized rubber bellows with bellows,
This is achieved by treating the surface of the curing bag with oil, a mold release agent or the like. Therefore, the rubber tube with bellows and the curing bag to be manufactured may be made of the same rubber material.

待つ必要はない。The optimum pressure applied to the mandrel during vulcanization varies depending on the rigidity of the cured rubber used, the flow characteristics of the unvulcanized rubber used, the vulcanization temperature, the depth of the bellows and the like. However, 2 to 10 kgf / cm 2 is usually suitable. The timing of applying pressure to the mandrel may be before the unvulcanized rubber starts to be vulcanized, and it is not necessary to wait for heating and softening.

It is desirable to open a vent hole with a diameter of about 1 mm. In that case, a thread-like protrusion of about several mm can be formed at the corresponding location of the bellows-shaped vulcanized rubber tube, for example, the apex of the mountain, but since this protrusion is outside the rubber tube, it can be easily removed in the finishing process. Moreover, even if it is not removed, it does not affect the performance of the tube.
