Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent generation of splice clock etc. and enhance durability by vulcanized molding the inner and outer layers of the rubber with a seamless cylindrical material. CONSTITUTION:Rubber inner layer A2 is continuously protruded onto the outside circumferential surface of a mandrel M by a rubber protruder for the purpose of covering, over which a fibrous reinforcement layer B is formed, and over them the rubber outer layer C2 is protruded by the protruder to make a covering and form an unvulcanized molding. This unvulcanized molding is cut into regular lengths, and vulcanized molding with a whole die will yield a seamless rubber film consisting of rubber inner layer A2 and rubber outer layer C2. Accordingly there is no such a problem likely with conventional construction that splice cracks etc. initiate at seams to contribute to enhancement of durability.

-Z type and diaphragm type, comb inner layer, reinforcing layer,
It consists of an outer rubber layer, which is integrally vulcanized and adhesively molded. Conventionally, the inner layer rubber and the outer layer rubber of the rubber membrane of these air springs are formed on an unvulcanized rubber sheet on a cylindrical drum, etc. For this reason,
During actual use, bending fatigue of the rubber membrane causes a so-called splice crack phenomenon to occur at this bonded part, and although no actual failure occurs from other parts, the function of continued use due to failure of the joint. The object of the present invention is to eliminate the initial failure of the product due to bending fatigue of the air spring rubber membrane, and to improve reliability in terms of durability.
According to the present invention, in a rubber film for air springs comprising an inner rubber layer, a reinforcing layer, and an outer rubber layer, the inner rubber layer and the outer rubber layer The above object can be achieved by vulcanizing and molding at least 10,000 parts of the seamless cylindrical material.Hereinafter, the rubber membrane for air springs of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 0 Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a conventionally known rolling seal air spring, where 1 is a g + IJ seal type fresh air spring rubber membrane 2 is an outer cylinder, 3 is a cylinder, 4 is an air chamber, and 5 is a gas chamber This is an air supply and exhaust port.This air spring seals compressed air into the air chamber 4 through the air supply and exhaust port 5, and uses its repulsion elasticity as a spring. Exactly the same e.The rubber membrane of a rolling seal type air spring with such a configuration operates while the bent portion is transferred by an external force, that is, rolling.C Therefore, when in use, this rubber membrane is subject to repeated motion due to transfer. A physical strain stress is applied.

FIG. 2 shows the rolling seal air spring rubber membrane 6 before being incorporated into the rolling seal air spring shown in FIG. Conventionally, in the manufacturing process, this type of rubber membrane was formed by bonding unvulcanized rubber sheet materials on a cylindrical drum, etc., so the cross-sectional view taken along the As shown in Fig. 3, in the unvulcanized state, the rubber inner layer A
There is a tin slice part 7 in the rubber outer layer C, and after vulcanization, as shown in FIG. 4, the surfaces of both the rubber outer layer A Contains a splice part. Therefore, the conventional rubber J product for air springs has at least one non-uniform part in the inner and outer rubber layers. As mentioned above, in the rolling seal type air spring rubber shown in FIG. 1, the repeated dynamic strain stress applied to the transfer portion due to rolling during use causes fatigue deterioration of the entire circumference of the rubber in this portion. Due to this fatigue deterioration, conventional products that include non-uniform parts are prone to so-called flow problems and splice cracks from the non-uniform parts.

Methods for producing a rubber film for an air spring having an inner rubber layer A2 and an outer rubber layer C2 without any heterogeneous portions include a method of extruding the inner and outer rubber layers using an extruder, a method using an injection molding device, and a knipping method. etc. can be mentioned. Among these methods, from the viewpoint of productivity, operability, etc., it is particularly preferable to use an extruder to form inner and outer rubber layers that do not contain the above-mentioned heterogeneous portions. A brief explanation of this extrusion method is shown in Figure 6-4.
- A rubber inner layer A2 is continuously extruded and coated on the outer periphery of the mandrel M by a rubber extruder, and a rubberized fiber reinforcement material is wound on the rubber inner layer A2 at a predetermined angle in a conventional manner. to form a fiber reinforced layer B, and this supplement 1j
A rubber outer layer Jl@C is extrusion coated onto the layer Ii by extrusion to obtain an unvulcanized molded body. When this unvulcanized molded body is cut into regular lengths and vulcanized and molded in a mold, an uninvented rubber film for air springs can be obtained. As a result of carrying out the durability comparison test described below with the air spring rubber family that has heterogeneous parts,
It has been confirmed that the product of the present invention can increase the number of initial failures by more than four times as compared to the conventional product. Compressed air was sealed in chamber 4, and the high forging pressure during excitation was 8 bf/j, the excitation frequency was 5H2, and the temperature was set at ±
As a result of conducting a comparative test under the same durability test conditions with 20 fins and an ambient temperature of 80°C, it was found that the conventional rubber film containing heterogeneous parts cracked from the tin slice part of the rubber outer layer after about 400,000 cycles, but this No failures were observed even after the air spring rubber imaged according to the invention was used approximately 1.6 million times.

The above description has typically been made regarding rolling seal type air springs, but the same applies to other types of air springs. FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the bellows type air spring rubber membrane 8, and the y-X cross section is similar to the X-X cross section in FIG. In addition, in the present invention, by constructing it as shown in #I5 in Figure 1, the conventional drawbacks can be eliminated.〇As explained above, the rubber membrane for air springs according to the present invention has a rubber inner layer. Also, since there are no seams or bonded parts in the outer rubber layer, no a-cracks or subsea cracks will occur even if repeated strain stress is applied over a long period of time. Therefore, the rubber membrane of the present invention has superior durability and reliability compared to conventional rubber membranes, and can be used in fields that require a high degree of durability and reliability, such as automobiles and industrial machinery.
