問題があった。However, in such a step-cut seal ring, when the cut ends are combined and mounted, the seal ring 100 has a difference in curvature between the inner peripheral surface 61 of the shaft hole and the main body of the seal ring 100. As shown in FIG. 5, the first and second arc-shaped convex portions 2 and 4 protrude in the outer radial direction,
There has been a problem that a gap is formed in the radial seal portion, and the sealing performance is deteriorated.

However, as shown in FIG. 6, the contact surface pressure of the first and second arc-shaped convex portions 2 and 4 with the inner peripheral surface 61 of the shaft hole of the housing 6 has a peak at the tip of the arc-shaped convex portion, so that wear is caused. However, the life of the seal ring was shortened.

からの押圧力に対して受圧側に曲げ変形することを特徴
とする。In order to achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is to attach a member to one of two members which are concentrically and relatively movably mounted and press the member into contact with the other member. A seal ring for sealing an annular gap with the other member, wherein the ring main body is cut at one location in a circumferential direction, and one cut end has an arc-shaped convex portion projecting in a circumferential direction. In the seal ring provided with, at the other cut end, a step portion fitted with the arc-shaped convex portion, the bending rigidity of the arc-shaped convex portion is reduced, and the pressing force from the other member is reduced. And bends to the pressure receiving side.

に生じる径方向の隙間が、他方の部材からの押圧力によ

の隙間によるシール性の低下がない。According to this structure, when the seal ring is mounted, a radial gap generated between the fitting portion between the arc-shaped convex portion and the step portion and the other member is caused by the pressing force from the other member. Since the arc-shaped convex portion is resolved by the deformation on the pressure receiving side, there is no reduction in the sealing performance due to the gap.

絶対値も小さくなるので、シールリングの摩耗が均一化
するとともに小さくなる。従って、シールリングの長寿
命化を図ることができる。Also, by reducing the bending stiffness of the arc-shaped projection, the contact caused when the arc-shaped projection protruding to the outer diameter side is eliminated by the pressing force from the other member to eliminate the radial gap. Since the peak of the surface pressure disappears and the absolute value of the contact surface pressure decreases, the wear of the seal ring becomes uniform and decreases. Therefore, the life of the seal ring can be extended.
【0018】また、円弧状凸部の他方の部材との圧接部
分を削った場合のように、他方の部材との間に隙間が生
じてシール性が低下することもない。Further, unlike the case where the press-contact portion of the arc-shaped convex portion with the other member is cut, a gap is not formed between the convex portion and the other member, and the sealing performance is not deteriorated.
【0019】曲げ剛性を低下させるためには、円弧状凸

円弧状凸部を成形するようにしてもよい。また、円弧状
凸部に軸方向のスリットを入れてもよい。In order to reduce the bending rigidity, the arc-shaped convex portion pressure receiving side may be cut off, or the arc-shaped convex portion may be formed of a material having low bending rigidity. Further, an axial slit may be formed in the arc-shaped convex portion.
【0020】ここで、シールリングは、外径側において
他方の部材に圧接し密封する場合に限らず、内径側にお
いて相手方部材に圧接し密封する場合であってもよい。Here, the seal ring is not limited to the case where it is pressed against the other member on the outer diameter side and is sealed, but may be the case where it is pressed and sealed against the other member on the inner diameter side.

する。According to a second aspect, in the first aspect, the other member is a housing, and the one member is a shaft inserted into a shaft hole of the housing. A seal ring mounted in the provided groove and pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the shaft hole of the housing, wherein the inner diameter side of the arc-shaped convex portion is cut out, and the arc-shaped convex portion is formed by thinning in a radial direction. The bending rigidity of the portion is reduced.
【0022】ここで、切り欠きは、成型後に切り欠いて
設ける場合に限らず、成型時に予め切り欠き部を設ける
ようにしてもよい。Here, the notch is not limited to the case where the notch is provided after molding, but the notch may be provided in advance at the time of molding.

とができる。従って、円弧状凸部と段差部との嵌合部と
ハウジングの軸孔内周面との間で径方向の隙間が生じる
ことはなく、シール性が向上する。In this way, the bending rigidity of the arc-shaped convex portion can be easily reduced by molding or cutting. Therefore, no radial gap is formed between the fitting portion between the arc-shaped convex portion and the step portion and the inner peripheral surface of the shaft hole of the housing, and the sealing performance is improved.

長寿命化を図ることができる。Further, the arc-shaped convex portion is notched on the inner diameter side to form a thin wall in the radial direction to reduce bending rigidity, so that the arc-shaped convex portion projecting to the outer diameter side is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the shaft hole of the housing. Since the peak of the contact surface pressure, which has been generated when the radial gap is eliminated by the pressing force from the contact hole, disappears and the absolute value of the contact surface pressure decreases, the wear of the seal ring becomes uniform and small. Therefore, the life of the seal ring can be extended.
【0025】また、円弧状凸部のハウジングの軸孔内周

間に隙間が生じてシール性が低下することもない。Further, unlike the case where the contact portion of the arc-shaped convex portion with the inner peripheral surface of the shaft hole of the housing is cut, a gap is not formed between the convex portion and the counterpart member, and the sealing performance is not deteriorated.

により解消するので、シール性が向上する。If the notches 25 and 45 are provided on the inner peripheral side in this way, the first and second arc-shaped convex portions 20 and 40 can be provided.
Can be easily reduced in bending stiffness. Therefore, when the seal ring is mounted, the space between the fitting portion between the first and second arc-shaped convex portions 20 and 40 and the first and second step portions 3 and 5 and the inner peripheral surface 61 of the shaft hole of the housing 6 are provided. The radial gap generated is eliminated by the bending deformation of the first and second arc-shaped projections 20 and 40 toward the inner diameter side due to the pressing force from the inner peripheral surface 61 of the shaft hole of the housing 6, thereby improving the sealing performance. .

Since the first arc-shaped convex portion 12 is eliminated by bending deformation toward the inner diameter side due to the pressing force from 1, the sealing performance is improved.

Similarly to the above, the peak of the contact surface pressure on the inner peripheral surface 61 of the axial hole of the housing 6 with which the outer peripheral surface of the first arc-shaped convex portion 12 comes into contact disappears and becomes almost uniform. And wear becomes uniform and smaller. Therefore, the life of the seal ring 10 can be extended.

る。The relationship between the curvature of the inner peripheral surface 61 of the shaft hole of the housing 6 and the curvature of the seal ring 10 determines how much the bending rigidity of the first arc-shaped convex portion 12 needs to be reduced. The shapes of the notch 126 of the broken line portion and the first arc-shaped convex portion 12 are set based on the above-described relationship of the curvature.

And the shape of the first arc-shaped convex portion 12 is a tapered shape that becomes thinner in the radial direction toward the distal end portion, but the shape of the notch 126 and the shape of the first arc-shaped convex portion 12 are as follows. It is not limited to these.

The second arc-shaped convex portion 14 is also formed with a notch 146 on the inner diameter side and formed in a tapered shape that becomes thinner in the radial direction toward the tip, so that the second arc-shaped convex portion 14 and the second step portion 15 are fitted. The sealing performance is similarly improved in the part. The above description regarding the first arc-shaped protrusion 12 applies to the second arc-shaped protrusion 14.

側への変形によって解消し、シール性が向上する。As described above, according to the first aspect, the bending stiffness of the arc-shaped convex portion is reduced, so that the arc-shaped convex portion is bent and deformed toward the pressure receiving side in response to the pressing force from the other member. Therefore, when the seal ring is mounted, a radial gap generated between the fitting portion between the arc-shaped convex portion and the step portion and the other member is formed by the arc-shaped convex portion due to the pressing force from the other member. By the deformation of the pressure receiving side, and the sealing performance is improved.

In addition, the bending rigidity can be easily reduced, and the sealing performance can be improved.
