回転軸シール及びその製法 Rotating shaft seal and its manufacturing method
技術分野 Technical field
[0001] 本発明は、回転軸シール及びその製法に係り、特にカーエアコン用コンプレッサ等 に使用される回転軸シール及びその製法に関する。 TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a rotary shaft seal and a method for manufacturing the rotary shaft seal, and more particularly to a rotary shaft seal used for a car air conditioner compressor and the like and a method for manufacturing the rotary shaft seal.
背景技術 Background art
[0002] カーエアコン用コンプレッサ等は、高速化'高圧ィ匕 '高温ィ匕等の傾向にあって、これ に使用する回転軸シールへの要求が厳しい状況下にあり、本発明者等はこのような 要求に答えるべく多くの回転軸シールの提案をしてきた (例えば、特許文献 2及び 3 参照)。 [0002] Compressors for car air conditioners have a tendency to increase speed, 'high pressure', 'high temperature', etc., and there is a severe demand for a rotary shaft seal used for the compressor. Many rotary shaft seals have been proposed to meet such requirements (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3).
[0003] 即ち、図 39及び図 40は、夫々、特許文献 2及び 3にて提案した回転軸シール 31を 例示し、図 41は図 40の作用説明用要部断面図であり、流体収納室側(高圧側) Aに 内フランジ部 32を有し、かつ、ノ、ウジング内面に対応する円筒部 33を有する略 L字 状のアウターケース 34に、ゴム製シール部 35をモールド成形等にて一体固着し、か つ、図 39及び図 40に実線にて示すように、アウターケース 34の上記円筒部 33の低 圧側 Bの端部 33aは薄肉として形成し、その端部 33a側から、 PTFE等のシールエレ メント 36及び金属製インナーケース 37を組み込み、矢印 Cの如くかしめ加工して、端 部 33aを 2点鎖線のように小内鍔状に折曲げて、シール部 35を一体に有するァウタ 一ケース 34と、シールエレメント 36とインナーケース 37を、一体状に組立てる構造で めつに。 That is, FIG. 39 and FIG. 40 illustrate the rotating shaft seal 31 proposed in Patent Documents 2 and 3, respectively, and FIG. 41 is a cross-sectional view for explaining the operation of FIG. Side (high-pressure side) A has an inner flange part 32 and a cylindrical part 33 corresponding to the inner surface of the louver, and a rubber seal part 35 is formed by molding or the like on an approximately L-shaped outer case 34 As shown by solid lines in FIGS. 39 and 40, the end 33a on the low pressure side B of the cylindrical portion 33 of the outer case 34 is formed thin, and from the end 33a side, PTFE A seal element 36 and a metal inner case 37 are assembled, crimped as shown by arrow C, and the end 33a is bent into a small inner bowl shape as shown by a two-dot chain line. A structure in which one case 34, seal element 36 and inner case 37 are assembled together To blink.
[0004] なお、 38はゴムリップ部であり、流体収納室側(高圧側) Aへ延伸状として、上記シ ール部 35がその一部として備えている。また、シールエレメント 36にはスクリュー溝 3 9が形成されている。アウターケース 34の内フランジ部 32を被覆する U字状の軸心 L と直交状の鉛直壁部 40をシール部 35が有し、この鉛直壁部 40の低圧側壁部と、シ ールエレメント 36の外周寄り円環部位とは、内フランジ部 32とインナーケース 37の間 に強く圧着保持されるように、前述の矢印 C方向への力しめ加工が行われる。 [0004] Note that reference numeral 38 denotes a rubber lip portion, which is extended to the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A and includes the seal portion 35 as a part thereof. Further, a screw groove 39 is formed in the seal element 36. The seal portion 35 has a vertical wall portion 40 orthogonal to the U-shaped axis L that covers the inner flange portion 32 of the outer case 34. The low pressure side wall portion of the vertical wall portion 40 and the outer periphery of the seal element 36 are provided. The offset ring portion is subjected to the above-described force-clamping process in the direction of the arrow C so that the inner flange portion 32 and the inner case 37 are strongly pressed and held.
[0005] 従来から、ゴムリップ部 38による静止時の密封作用、及び、軸の回転時の PTFEシ
ールエレメント 36 (のスクリュー溝 39)によるハイド口ダイナミック作用の両方によって、 カーエアコン用コンプレッサ等の既述の厳し 、要求に応えて 、る。 [0005] Conventionally, the rubber lip 38 has a sealing action when stationary and a PTFE shaft when the shaft rotates. In response to the above-mentioned stringent and demanded requirements for compressors for car air conditioners, etc., both by the dynamic action of the hide port by the screw element 36 (screw groove 39).
[0006] し力しながら、図 39 (特許文献 2)や図 40及び 41 (特許文献 3)に示した従来の回 転軸シール 31では、各部品をばらばらに製作し、アッセンプリを行う(組立てて一体 構造とする)ため、アウターケース 34の端部 33aを (矢印 C方向に)折り曲げる力しめ 加工を必須としており、加工工数が増加し (製造工程が煩雑ィ匕し、)、かつ、アッセン プリラインのための大きな設備費用を要していた。 [0006] With the conventional rotating shaft seal 31 shown in FIG. 39 (Patent Document 2) and FIGS. 40 and 41 (Patent Document 3), the parts are manufactured separately and assembled (assembled). Therefore, it is essential to force the end 33a of the outer case 34 to bend (in the direction of arrow C), which increases the number of processing steps (the manufacturing process is complicated) and the assembly. A large equipment cost for the pre-line was required.
[0007] なお、従来から、 V、わゆるオイルシールに於ては、力しめ加工を省略した製法が行 われている(特許文献 1参照)。しかし、接着剤を予め (インサート)金具に塗布するェ 程を要し、しかも、(インサート)金具とゴム製シール部のみ力 成る簡単な構成であ つて、図 39及び図 40のアウターケース 34とゴム製シール部 35のみを予め一体にモ 一ルド成形して 、るのと同等の技術に過ぎな 、と 、える。 [0007] Conventionally, in the V, so-called oil seal, a manufacturing method that omits the crimping process has been performed (see Patent Document 1). However, it requires a process to apply the adhesive to the (insert) bracket in advance, and it has a simple structure in which only the (insert) bracket and the rubber seal portion are used. Only the rubber seal 35 is molded in advance in one piece, and it is just a technique equivalent to this.
[0008] 上述の如ぐ従来、インサート(金具)とゴム製シール部のみ、又は、アウターケース とゴム製シール部のみの簡易な回転軸シール又は(そのための)部品に於て、モー ルド成形にてインサート (金具)やアウターケースと、ゴム製シール部とを、一体化する 技術は知られて 、たとしても、カーエアコン用コンプレッサ等の過酷な使用条件 (厳し い要求)下で使用に耐えるシールエレメントやインナーケース等の部品を具備する回 転軸シールでは、簡略ィ匕した製造工程によって、高いシール性能で安定した品質の ものを、安価に多量生産することは、至難なこととされてきた。 Conventionally, as described above, only molding (metal fittings) and rubber seals, or simple rotary shaft seals or parts (for them) only with outer cases and rubber seals are used for mold molding. The technology for integrating the insert (metal fitting) and outer case with the rubber seal is known, but even if it is used, it can withstand use under harsh conditions (strict requirements) such as compressors for car air conditioners. With rotary shaft seals that include parts such as seal elements and inner cases, it has been considered difficult to mass-produce low-quality products with high sealing performance and stable quality through a simplified manufacturing process. It was.
[0009] また、装着使用状態を示す図 41に於て、従来の回転軸シール 31のゴムリップ部 38 は流体収納室側(高圧側) Aへ大きく(L字状に)延伸して、回転軸 29の外周面に、 流体圧力 Pを受けて、摺動自在に圧接自在に圧接 (接触)していた。図 41中に、ゴ [0009] Also, in Fig. 41 showing the mounted and used state, the rubber lip portion 38 of the conventional rotary shaft seal 31 extends greatly (in an L shape) to the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A, so that the rotary shaft The outer peripheral surface of 29 was subjected to fluid pressure P and slidably slidably pressed (contacted). In Figure 41,

ムリップ部 38の接触内周端縁 38aが回転軸 29の外表面に接する接触面圧 Pを縦軸 にとり、位置を横軸にとって示したグラフ図を合わせて示す。そして、従来からこの種 の回転軸シール 31にあっては、リップ部 38の接触内周端縁 38a—摺接部—が、回 転軸 29に対して周方向に如何に均等に摺接させるか、設計上及び製造上から努力 が払われてきた。 The graph shows the contact surface pressure P at which the contact inner peripheral edge 38a of the mulip portion 38 is in contact with the outer surface of the rotating shaft 29 on the vertical axis and the position on the horizontal axis. Conventionally, in this type of rotating shaft seal 31, the contact inner peripheral edge 38 a of the lip portion 38 —the sliding contact portion—is brought into sliding contact with the rotating shaft 29 evenly in the circumferential direction. Efforts have been made from design and manufacturing.
[0010] 従来の図 39〜図 41等に示した回転軸シール 31に於て、流体収納室側 Aに高圧
が作用すると、図 41に示すように、接触内周端縁 38a (リップ先端部)は回転軸 29に 対して大きな接触面圧 Pで全周(360° )にわたつて均等に接触する。これによつて、 密封流体の中の潤滑油が回転軸 29と接触内周端縁 38aとの界面に浸入 (導入)する ことが困難となり、接触内周端縁部 38aの摩耗が促進され、この接触内周端縁 38aは 、えぐられるように摩耗が進行して、密封性 (シール性)が急に悪ィ匕し、流体の外部漏 洩を発生する。言い換えれば、高圧環境下に於て、ゴム製リップ部 38の先端部(内 周端縁 38a)力 回転軸 29に強く押し付けられることに加え、回転軸 29の全周にわた つて均一に圧接するため、冷媒等の流体中の潤滑油が、その先端部(内周端縁 38a と回転軸 29の界面に浸入できず、摩擦抵抗が増加し、発熱し、これに伴ってリップ部 38の先端部(内周端縁 38a)が早期に摩耗してしまう。 [0010] In the conventional rotary shaft seal 31 shown in FIGS. 39 to 41, etc., the fluid storage chamber side A has a high pressure. As shown in FIG. 41, the contact inner peripheral edge 38a (lip tip) contacts the rotating shaft 29 evenly with a large contact surface pressure P over the entire circumference (360 °). This makes it difficult for the lubricating oil in the sealing fluid to enter (introduce) the interface between the rotating shaft 29 and the contact inner peripheral edge 38a, and promotes wear of the contact inner peripheral edge 38a. The inner peripheral edge 38a of the contact gradually wears, the sealability (sealability) deteriorates abruptly, and external leakage of the fluid occurs. In other words, in a high-pressure environment, the tip (inner peripheral edge 38a) force of the rubber lip 38 is strongly pressed against the rotating shaft 29, and is uniformly pressed over the entire circumference of the rotating shaft 29. Therefore, the lubricating oil in the fluid such as refrigerant cannot enter the tip (the interface between the inner peripheral edge 38a and the rotary shaft 29, increases the frictional resistance, generates heat, and accompanying this, the tip of the lip 38 The part (inner peripheral edge 38a) wears out early.

[0029] 以下、図面に基づいて実施形態を説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0030] (実施形態 1) [Embodiment 1]
図 1は実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1を示す要部拡大断面図であり、図 2は図 1のさ らに拡大して示した要部断面図であり、図 3は実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1の製法を 簡略ィ匕して示す要部断面説明図である。また、図 4は図 1の正面図、図 5は図 4 (a— a )断面と、(b— b)断面の要部拡大図である。 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part showing the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 1, FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional explanatory view of a main part showing the manufacturing method of the shaft seal 1 in a simplified manner. 4 is a front view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 (a-a) and an enlarged view of the main part of the (b-b) cross-section.
[0031] この回転軸シール 1は、金属製アウターケース 2と、金属製インナーケース 3と、回 転軸 29 (図 6及び 7参照)に摺接するゴムリップ部 5を有するゴム製シール部 4と、上 記回転軸に摺接するスクリュー溝 6を有するシールエレメント 7とを、備えて!/、る。 [0031] The rotary shaft seal 1 includes a metal outer case 2, a metal inner case 3, and a rubber seal portion 4 having a rubber lip portion 5 slidably contacting the rotary shaft 29 (see Figs. 6 and 7), A seal element 7 having a screw groove 6 that is in sliding contact with the rotating shaft is provided! /
[0032] そして、金属製アウターケース 2は、図 39及び図 40にて述べたところの矢印 C方向 へのカゝしめ加工を全く省略して、全体が一体構造として組立てられている。具体的に は、シール部 4はモールド成形 (射出モールド成形又はコンプレツシヨンモールド成 形)によって成形される力 アウターケース 2とシールエレメント 7とインナーケース 3と 上記シール部 4とを、上記モールド成形によって、一体構造として成る。 [0032] Then, the metal outer case 2 is assembled as a whole with the caulking process in the direction of arrow C described with reference to FIGS. 39 and 40 completely omitted. Specifically, the seal portion 4 is formed by molding (injection molding or compression molding). The outer case 2, the seal element 7, the inner case 3, and the seal portion 4 are molded. As a result, the structure is integrated.
[0033] アウターケース 2は、円筒部 8と低圧側 Bの内フランジ部 9とを有し、断面略 L字形で ある。また、インナーケース 3は、円筒部 10と低圧側 Bの内フランジ部 11とを有する断 面略 L字形である。し力も、インナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11は、低圧側 Bへ僅かに
突出状と凸部 12が形成され、インナーケース 3の円筒部 10力 アウターケース 2の円 筒部 8内に嵌合するように組立てられた構造である力 シールエレメント 7は、ァウタ 一ケース 2及びインナーケース 3の両内フランジ部 9, 11にて挾着保持される。かつ、 図 2に示すように、両円筒部 8, 10の嵌合間隙部 Gには、シール部 4のモールド成形 の際に浸入して形成されたゴム層 13が介在して 、る。このモールド成形時に形成さ れて固化したゴム層 13によって、アウターケース 2の円筒部 8と、インナーケース 3の 円筒部 10が、一体ィ匕している。 The outer case 2 has a cylindrical portion 8 and an inner flange portion 9 on the low pressure side B, and has a substantially L-shaped cross section. The inner case 3 has a substantially L-shaped cross section having a cylindrical portion 10 and an inner flange portion 11 on the low pressure side B. Also, the inner flange 11 of the inner case 3 slightly moves to the low pressure side B. The projecting shape and the convex part 12 are formed, and the cylindrical part of the inner case 3 10 force The force is a structure assembled so as to fit into the cylindrical part 8 of the outer case 2 The sealing element 7 includes the outer case 2 and The inner case 3 is held by both inner flanges 9 and 11. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, a rubber layer 13 formed by intrusion when the seal portion 4 is molded is interposed in the fitting gap portion G between the cylindrical portions 8 and 10. The cylindrical portion 8 of the outer case 2 and the cylindrical portion 10 of the inner case 3 are integrated with each other by the rubber layer 13 formed and solidified at the time of molding.
[0034] また、他の形態について説明すると、モールド成形の前に、アウターケース 2の円筒 部 8の内周面と、インナーケース 3の円筒部 10の外周面とが、相互に圧接するように 、両円筒部 8, 10を圧入嵌合して一体ィ匕し、その後、モールド成形用金型内へ設置 して、シール部 4をモールド成形して、全体を一体化する。 [0034] Further, another form will be described. Before molding, the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 8 of the outer case 2 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 10 of the inner case 3 are in pressure contact with each other. Then, the cylindrical parts 8 and 10 are press-fitted and fitted together, and then installed in a mold for molding, and the seal part 4 is molded and integrated as a whole.
[0035] インナーケース 3とアウターケース 2の嵌合公差は、機械的に圧入して嵌合させる。 [0035] The fitting tolerance between the inner case 3 and the outer case 2 is mechanically press-fitted.
この圧入嵌合はプレス機を使用し、又は、ハンマー等で叩いて行えば良い。なお、こ のように圧入して図 3に示すような中間品を作成した場合にも、嵌合間隙部 Gが形成 されないというものではなぐそこにモールド成形の際に流動化したゴム材料が流入 して、(機械的一体ィ匕及び薄膜のゴム層 13による一体ィ匕の併用によって)一層強固 な一体構造となる。 This press-fitting may be performed by using a press machine or hitting with a hammer or the like. Note that even when an intermediate product as shown in FIG. 3 is produced by press-fitting in this way, the fluidized rubber material does not flow into the molding gap G. As a result, a stronger integrated structure is obtained (by the combined use of the mechanical integrated film and the integrated film formed by the thin rubber layer 13).
[0036] シール部 4は、 HNBR単独にて、あるいは、 HNBRを基本とする配合ゴム材にて、 構成したり、他のゴム材を用いる。シールエレメント 7は元の形状は、図 3に示すように 、円環平板状であり、回転軸を挿入状として組立てると、断面 L字状として、スクリュー 溝 (螺旋溝) 6の側が回転軸の外周面に接触する。このシールエレメント 7は、 PTFE 等のフッ素系榭脂が好適である。シールエレメント 7は外径寄りの部分力 内フランジ 部 9と、内フランジ部 11にて挾着保持されている力 凸部 12がインナーケース 3の内 フランジ部 11に形成され、シールエレメント 7の外径寄りの部位を強く押圧し (面圧が 高く)、内部リークを防止している。また、凸部 12を設けなくても、インナーケース 3の 内径を拡大することでも同じ効果を得ることができる。シールエレメント 7にスクリュー 溝 6を形成したことにより、回転軸の回転により流体を流体収納室側(高圧側) Aへ押 し戻すボンビング作用(ハイド口ダイナミック作用)をなし、回転中の密封性を向上させ
ている。 [0036] The seal part 4 is composed of HNBR alone or a compounded rubber material based on HNBR, or uses other rubber materials. As shown in FIG. 3, the original shape of the seal element 7 is an annular flat plate. When the rotary shaft is assembled as an insertion shape, the cross section is L-shaped, and the screw groove (spiral groove) 6 side is the rotary shaft. Contact the outer peripheral surface. The seal element 7 is preferably a fluorine-based resin such as PTFE. The seal element 7 has a partial force closer to the outer diameter. The inner flange 9 and the force that is held tightly by the inner flange 11 are formed on the inner flange 11 of the inner case 3. The part near the diameter is pressed strongly (surface pressure is high) to prevent internal leakage. Even if the convex portion 12 is not provided, the same effect can be obtained by enlarging the inner diameter of the inner case 3. By forming the screw groove 6 in the seal element 7, it has a bombing action (hydride port dynamic action) that pushes the fluid back to the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A by the rotation of the rotating shaft, and seals during rotation. Improve ing.
[0037] 従来例の図 39〜図 41と比較すれば明らかなように、従来のアウターケース 34の内 フランジ部 32は流体収納室側(高圧側) Aに配設されていた力 本実施形態 1の回 転軸シール 1では、アウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9は低圧側 Bに配設されている。 さらに、従来のインナーケース 37の内フランジ部は流体収納室側(高圧側) Aに配設 されていた力 本実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1では、インナーケース 3の内フランジ 部 11は低圧側 Bに配設されている。このようにして、低圧側 Bにて、シールエレメント 7 は両内フランジ部 9, 11にて挾持状に圧着保持されて 、る。 [0037] As is apparent from comparison with Figs. 39 to 41 of the conventional example, the inner flange portion 32 of the conventional outer case 34 is disposed on the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A. This embodiment In the rotating shaft seal 1, the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2 is disposed on the low pressure side B. Furthermore, the force of the inner flange portion of the conventional inner case 37 disposed on the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A In the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 1, the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3 is on the low pressure side. Located in B. In this way, on the low pressure side B, the seal element 7 is clamped and held between the inner flange portions 9 and 11.
[0038] そして、シール部 4は、相互に嵌合した両円筒部 8, 10を外周面側から被覆する外 周凹凸波状嵌着円筒壁部 15と、両円筒部 8, 10の高圧側端面 8a, 10aを被覆する 端面被覆壁部 16と、インナーケース 3の内部に対応する主要部 30としてのブロック 状部 17と、を具備し、この主要部 30 (ブロック状部 17)の高圧側 Aの高圧対応面 27 に、 U字状の凹周溝 18を形成すると共に、主要部 30 (ブロック状部 17)は高圧側 A の内周端寄りにゴムリップ部 5を有する。 [0038] Then, the seal portion 4 includes an outer circumferential concave and convex wavy fitting cylindrical wall portion 15 that covers both the cylindrical portions 8 and 10 fitted to each other from the outer peripheral surface side, and a high pressure side end surface of both the cylindrical portions 8 and 10 8a, 10a, and a block-shaped portion 17 as a main portion 30 corresponding to the inside of the inner case 3, and a high-pressure side A of the main portion 30 (block-shaped portion 17) A U-shaped concave circumferential groove 18 is formed on the high pressure corresponding surface 27, and the main portion 30 (block-like portion 17) has a rubber lip portion 5 near the inner peripheral end of the high pressure side A.
[0039] また、図 1では、このゴムリップ部 5の軸心方向位置と、端面被覆壁部 16の軸心方 向位置を、略一致させている。言い換えれば、上記シール部 4の主要部 30はインナ 一ケース 3の内部に配設すると共に凹周溝 18を凹設しない仮想状態の高圧対応面 27は軸心直交面状に形成されている。そして、凹周溝 18を形成したことにより、主要 部 30は、略 U字状断面を有している。また、回転軸 29 (図 6参照)の外周面に接触す るゴムリップ部 5の接触内周端縁 5aは、アウターケース 2の高圧側 Aの端面 8aと、軸 心方向略同一位置に配設される。この点について、従来例の図 39〜図 41と比較す れば、ゴムリップ部 5が高圧側 Aへ殆ど突出せず、回転軸シール 1の全体の幅寸法 W は、著しく減少できて、コンパクトィ匕が図られていることが判る。即ち、アウターケース In FIG. 1, the axial direction position of the rubber lip portion 5 and the axial direction direction position of the end surface covering wall portion 16 are substantially matched. In other words, the main portion 30 of the seal portion 4 is disposed in the inner case 3 and the virtual high-pressure corresponding surface 27 in which the concave circumferential groove 18 is not formed is formed in a shape orthogonal to the axis. Since the concave circumferential groove 18 is formed, the main portion 30 has a substantially U-shaped cross section. Also, the contact inner peripheral edge 5a of the rubber lip portion 5 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 29 (see FIG. 6) is disposed at substantially the same position in the axial direction as the end surface 8a on the high pressure side A of the outer case 2. Is done. Compared with FIGS. 39 to 41 of the conventional example, the rubber lip portion 5 hardly protrudes to the high pressure side A, and the overall width W of the rotary shaft seal 1 can be remarkably reduced. It can be seen that there is a habit. That is, outer case

2の全幅寸法と略同一の全幅寸法 Wにコンパクトィヒされている。 It is compacted to the full width dimension W which is almost the same as the full width dimension of 2.

[0040] このように、全幅寸法 W [0040] Thus, the full width dimension W
0がコンパクトィ匕されているので、外的要因により、リップが傷 ついたり、変形したりすることが抑制される。具体的には、回転軸シールの製造工程 中や、そのシールを使ってカーエアコンのコンプレッサーを組み立てている最中に、 外的要因による不良率を格段に少なくすることが可能となる。
[0041] そして、軸心方向(高圧側 A)から見た正面図 4、及び、図 4の(a— a) , (b— b)断面 を示す図 5 (a) (b)、さらに、装着使用状態であって図 4の (a— a)断面に対応する図 6 、図 4の (b— b)断面に対応する図 7に於て、ゴム製シール部 4の高圧対応面 27の径 方向中間位置に、前述の凹周溝 18が凹設され、内周及び外周に沿って、ゴムリップ 部 5及び外周ゴム部 14を夫々円環状に形成している力 さらに、本実施形態 1の回 転軸シール 1の特徴とすべき点は、この凹周溝 18内に(内周の)ゴムリップ部 5と外周 ゴム部 14を連結する複数の径方向リブ部 41を設けている点である。図 4及び図 5に 示したものでは、 4本のリブ部 41が中心角 90° にて設けられている。これを 2本や 3 本に減らしたり、逆に、 5本以上に増加するも、自由である。また、リブ部 41の高圧側 Aの端縁は、高圧対応面 27と軸心方向同一位置とした場合を、図示しているが、所 望により、高圧対応面 27よりも低圧側 Bに存在させても、自由である(図示省略)。 Since 0 is compacted, the lip is prevented from being damaged or deformed due to external factors. Specifically, the defect rate due to external factors can be significantly reduced during the manufacturing process of rotary shaft seals and during the assembly of car air conditioner compressors using such seals. [0041] Then, a front view 4 as viewed from the axial direction (high pressure side A), and FIGS. 5 (a), (b), and 5 (a), (b) showing the cross section of FIG. In FIG. 6 corresponding to the section (a-a) in FIG. 4 and FIG. 7 corresponding to the section (b--b) in FIG. 4, the high-pressure corresponding surface 27 of the rubber seal 4 is shown in FIG. The above-described concave circumferential groove 18 is provided at a radial intermediate position, and the rubber lip portion 5 and the outer circumferential rubber portion 14 are formed in an annular shape along the inner and outer circumferences. A feature of the rotary shaft seal 1 is that a plurality of radial rib portions 41 for connecting the (inner circumference) rubber lip portion 5 and the outer circumference rubber portion 14 are provided in the concave circumferential groove 18. . 4 and 5, four rib portions 41 are provided at a central angle of 90 °. It is free to reduce this to 2 or 3 or vice versa. The edge of the rib 41 on the high pressure side A is shown in the figure when it is at the same position in the axial center direction as the high pressure compatible surface 27. Even if it makes it, it is free (illustration omitted).
[0042] なお、(図示省略したが、)この凹周溝 18内に径方向リブ部 41を設けた回転軸シー ノレ 1としては、アウターケース 2とインナーケース 3の一方を省略したり、図示のものと は相違する形状のものであっても良いと共に、シールエレメント 7を省略したり、 2枚以 上とすることも、あり得る。 [0042] It should be noted that (not shown), as the rotary shaft sheath 1 in which the radial rib portion 41 is provided in the concave circumferential groove 18, one of the outer case 2 and the inner case 3 is omitted or illustrated. The shape may be different from that of the above, and the sealing element 7 may be omitted or may be two or more.
[0043] 図 6及び図 7に於て、接触面圧 Pを縦軸にとって軸心方向位置を横軸にとって示し たグラフ図を同時に描いている力 凹周溝 18の内で径方向リブ部 41が存在する部 位では、接触面圧 Pが低ぐリブ部 41の不存在位置では、接触面圧 Pが高まる。この ようにして、接触内周端縁 5aの回転軸 29への接触面圧 Pを、周方向に不均等 (不均 一)となるようにしている。そして、図 7のように接触面圧 Pの小さい円周方向位置にて 、流体収納室側 Aの流体中の潤滑油が浸入 (導入)されやすぐ摺接部全周に行き 渡って、接触内周端縁 5aの摩擦抵抗を低減し、発熱を防ぎ、摩耗を抑制できる。 In FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the force simultaneously drawing the graphs showing the contact surface pressure P as the vertical axis and the axial center position as the horizontal axis. The contact surface pressure P is increased at the position where the rib 41 is absent where the contact surface pressure P is low. In this way, the contact surface pressure P of the contact inner peripheral edge 5a to the rotating shaft 29 is made uneven (uneven) in the circumferential direction. Then, as shown in Fig. 7, at the circumferential position where the contact surface pressure P is small, the lubricant in the fluid in the fluid storage chamber side A immediately enters (introduces) and spreads around the entire slidable contact area. The frictional resistance of the inner peripheral edge 5a can be reduced, heat generation can be prevented, and wear can be suppressed.
[0044] また、上記凸部 12について、全周にわたって連続状に形成している態様でも良い 力 好ましくは、周方向に交互に凹凸状として凸部 12を断続的に形成すれば、シー ルエレメント 7を挾圧(押圧)する面圧が増大して、シールエレメント 7の回転軸との共 廻りを防止できる。さらにシールエレメント 7と接触する部分は、のこぎりの歯状 (ギザ ギザ)のようになって!/、る方が保持力が向上するのでより好ま U、。 [0044] Further, the convex portion 12 may be continuously formed over the entire circumference. Preferably, if the convex portions 12 are intermittently formed in the circumferential direction alternately, the seal element is formed. The surface pressure for repressing (pressing) 7 increases, and it is possible to prevent the seal element 7 from rotating together with the rotating shaft. Furthermore, the part that comes into contact with the seal element 7 becomes like a saw tooth! It is more preferable because it has better holding power.
[0045] 次に、図 8、図 9、及び図 10 (図 11)は、実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1の変形例 1〜

[0046] 即ち、回転軸に摺接するゴムリップ部 5を有するゴム製シール部 4を備えた回転軸 シールに於て、ゴム製シール部 4の高圧対応面 27の径方向中間位置に凹周溝 18を 円環状に凹設して、内周に沿ってゴムリップ部 5を円環状に形成し、そして、この凹周 溝 18の深さ寸法 N、幅寸法 S、断面形状の内の少なくとも 1つを、周方向に変化する ように設定して、ゴムリップ部 5の回転軸 29 (図 6及び 7参照)への接触面圧 Pを、図 1 1 (b)に示す如ぐ周方向に不均等となるように構成する。 That is, in the rotary shaft seal provided with the rubber seal portion 4 having the rubber lip portion 5 that is in sliding contact with the rotary shaft, the concave circumferential groove 18 is provided at the radial intermediate position of the high pressure corresponding surface 27 of the rubber seal portion 4. The rubber lip portion 5 is formed in an annular shape along the inner periphery, and at least one of the depth dimension N, the width dimension S, and the cross-sectional shape of the recessed peripheral groove 18 is formed. The contact surface pressure P to the rotating shaft 29 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) of the rubber lip 5 is set unevenly in the circumferential direction as shown in FIG. 11 (b). Configure to be
[0047] なお、図 8〜図 11では、図 1〜図 7にて既に説明したようなアウターケース 2とインナ 一ケース 3とシールエレメント 7を備え、かつ、モールド成形にて全ての部品を一体構 成とした構成が望ましぐ凹周溝 18及びゴムリップ部 5以外については、図 1〜図 7と 同様であるとして説明を省略する。但し、図 1〜図 7で述べたように、アウターケース 2 とインナーケース 3の内の一方を省略したり、各々の形状を種々変化させたり、シー ルエレメント 7を省略したり、逆に 2枚以上とする等の設計変更は自由である。 [0047] In FIGS. 8 to 11, the outer case 2, the inner case 3, and the seal element 7 as already described in FIGS. 1 to 7 are provided, and all the parts are integrated by molding. Except for the concave circumferential groove 18 and the rubber lip portion 5 that are desired to be configured, the description is omitted because they are the same as those shown in FIGS. However, as described in FIGS. 1 to 7, one of the outer case 2 and the inner case 3 is omitted, each shape is changed variously, the seal element 7 is omitted, and vice versa. Design changes such as making more than one are free.
[0048] ところで、図 8に示す変形例 1では、凹周溝 18の深さ寸法 Nを相違させ、 N >Nと By the way, in the first modification shown in FIG. 8, the depth dimension N of the concave circumferential groove 18 is made different, and N> N

For example, as shown in Fig. 11 (a), it is divided into 3 arcs. Deploy. Of course, it is also preferable to divide and arrange four or more arc portions. In FIG. 11, the shaded circular arc part 42 is a dimension with a large depth dimension N.

[0050] 次に、図 10に示した変形例 3では、凹周溝 18の深さ寸法 N及び幅寸法 Sを同時に 周方向に相違させている。図 10 (a)及び (b)とを比較すると、前者は、深さ寸法 N及 Next, in Modification 3 shown in FIG. 10, the depth dimension N and the width dimension S of the concave circumferential groove 18 are simultaneously made different in the circumferential direction.

[0051] なお、図 10及び図 9に於て、 4分割以上として、分割配置するも好ましい。 Formability The former is large enough. This former is indicated by the hatched area in FIG. 11 (a). The ratio of the total circumferential range of each of the former and the latter is distributed as an appropriate ratio of (1: 9) to (9: 1). [0051] Note that in FIG. 10 and FIG. 9, it is preferable to divide into four or more parts.
[0052] 図 11 (b)について追加説明する。受圧状態(図 6及び 7参照)でゴムリップ部 5の回 転軸 29表面への接触面圧 Pを、円形状に図示したグラフ図であり、図 11 (a)では深 さ寸法 N及び Z又は幅寸法 Sが大小の各々のものを 3分割として配置した場合を示 したが、図 11 (b)では 6分割として各々を配置した場合の接触面圧 Pが周方向に如 何に変化しているかを、例示している。図 11 (b)に示すように接触面圧 Pが同方向に 不均等 (不均一)となるので、小さな接触面圧の部位 (谷部)から潤滑油を、ゴムリップ 部 5の接触内周端縁 5aと回転軸 29 (図 6及び 8参照)との間に、導入及び浸入させ、 回転に伴って、摺接部位全周に潤滑油を行き渡らせ、摩擦熱の発生を防ぎ、早期摩 耗を防止し、長寿命を図ることができる。 [0052] FIG. 11 (b) will be additionally described. Fig. 11 is a graph showing the contact pressure P on the surface of the rotating shaft 29 of the rubber lip 5 in a circular shape in the pressure receiving state (see Figs. 6 and 7). In Fig. 11 (a), the depth dimensions N and Z or Although the case where each of the width dimensions S is arranged in three parts is shown, Fig. 11 (b) shows how the contact surface pressure P changes in the circumferential direction when each part is arranged in six parts. This is an example. As shown in Fig. 11 (b), the contact surface pressure P becomes non-uniform (non-uniform) in the same direction. Therefore, lubricating oil is applied from the part of the small contact surface pressure (valley part) to the contact inner peripheral edge of the rubber lip part 5. Introduce and permeate between the edge 5a and the rotating shaft 29 (see Figures 6 and 8), and with rotation, lubricate the entire circumference of the sliding contact area to prevent frictional heat and prevent early wear. Can be prevented and a long life can be achieved.
[0053] 次に、本実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1の製法を説明する。アウターケース 2とシー ルエレメント 7とインナーケース 3を、図 3に示すように、金型のキヤビティ内に装入す る。シールエレメント 7は平板円環状として装入する。つまり、図 3に示すように、ァウタ 一ケース 2の内フランジ部 9、インナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11 (特には、内フランジ 部 11に形成した凸部 12)で、シールエレメント 7を挟んで固定した状態で、金型(図 示せず)内にセットする。次に、流動化ゴム材料を金型内に射出成形させ、図 1の断 面形状に示すゴムリップ部 5を有する回転軸シール 1を作製する。 Next, a method for manufacturing the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 1 will be described. Insert the outer case 2, seal element 7 and inner case 3 into the mold cavity as shown in Fig.3. The sealing element 7 is inserted as a flat plate ring. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the seal element 7 is sandwiched between the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2 and the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3 (particularly, the convex portion 12 formed on the inner flange portion 11). Set in a mold (not shown) in a fixed state. Next, the fluidized rubber material is injection-molded in a mold to produce the rotary shaft seal 1 having the rubber lip portion 5 shown in the cross-sectional shape of FIG.
[0054] 上述の射出成形の際のゴム材料の流入と充填と加圧によって、ゴム材料は図 2のよ うに両円筒部 8, 10の嵌合間隙部 Gに浸入して、その後の加硫によって、両円筒部 8 , 10を強固に一体化する(ゴム層 13が形成される)。ところで、図 3に示すように、シ ールエレメント 7を挾持するように、アウターケース 2とインナーケース 3とが、圧入しな いで嵌合する状態 (遊嵌状)の場合には、ゴム層 13の偏肉を防止するため、アウター ケース及び Z又はインナーケースに、接着剤又は粘着剤を塗布して相互位置を固定 したり、コンピュータ制御によって相互位置を決定して、その状態下で、金型内にセッ トし、流動化ゴム材料を金型内に射出し、シール部 4を成形し、かつ、嵌合間隙部 G に全周均一厚さにゴム層 13を形成する。このゴム層 13の厚さ寸法は、ゴムの強度、 種類により異なるが、厚さは薄い方が好ましぐ厚さが大きすぎるとゴム層 13の (周方 向位置における)偏肉が起こり易い。
[0055] 他の形態としては、アウターケース 2の内周面とインナーケース 3の内周面力 圧入 状に嵌合させる場合には、プレス機やノヽンマー等にて押込むように組み立てたり、金 型の型閉め時に押込むように組み立てて、図 3に示すような中間品を作製して、これ を金型内にセットし、流動化ゴム材料を金型内に射出して、シール部 4を形成する。 微小な嵌合間隙部 Gへ流動ゴム材料が浸入して、ゴム層 13を形成し、このゴム層 13 による一体化、及び、前述の圧入状の嵌合 (圧入嵌合)による機械的一体化の共働 によって、一層強固な一体構造の回転軸シールが得られる。 [0054] By the inflow, filling and pressurization of the rubber material at the time of the above-described injection molding, the rubber material enters the fitting gap portion G of both cylindrical portions 8 and 10 as shown in FIG. Thus, the cylindrical portions 8 and 10 are firmly integrated (the rubber layer 13 is formed). By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, when the outer case 2 and the inner case 3 are fitted without press-fitting so as to hold the seal element 7 (free fitting shape), the rubber layer 13 In order to prevent uneven thickness, adhesive or adhesive is applied to the outer case and Z or inner case to fix the mutual position, or the mutual position is determined by computer control. Then, the fluidized rubber material is injected into the mold, the seal portion 4 is molded, and the rubber layer 13 is formed in the fitting gap portion G with a uniform thickness all around. The thickness dimension of the rubber layer 13 varies depending on the strength and type of rubber. However, if the thickness is preferably too small, uneven thickness of the rubber layer 13 (at the circumferential direction) is likely to occur. . [0055] As another form, when the inner peripheral surface of the outer case 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the inner case 3 are fitted in a press-fitted form, they are assembled by pressing with a press machine, a nonmmer, or the like. As shown in Fig. 3, an intermediate product as shown in Fig. 3 is manufactured, and this is set in a mold, and fluidized rubber material is injected into the mold to form a seal portion 4. . Fluid rubber material penetrates into the small fitting gap G to form a rubber layer 13, and integration by this rubber layer 13 and mechanical integration by the press-fit fitting (press fitting) described above By cooperating with each other, it is possible to obtain an even stronger, solid structure rotary shaft seal.
[0056] なお、 、ずれの製造方法にあっても、ゴムと接触する金属製のインナーケース 3とァ ウタ一ケース 2の表面に、接着剤を塗布しておけば、回転軸シールとしての強度及び 製品寿命の点で望ましい。 [0056] Even in the manufacturing method of displacement, if an adhesive is applied to the surfaces of the metal inner case 3 and the outer case 2 that are in contact with the rubber, the strength as a rotary shaft seal can be obtained. And desirable in terms of product life.
[0057] 以上述べたように、金型内でシール部 4を形成すると同時に、アウターケース 2とィ ンナーケース 3とシールエレメント 7とを一体ィ匕でき、従来の力しめ加工を全く省略し ている。つまり、シール部 4のゴムの射出成形又はコンプレツシヨン成形時に、各部品 のアッセンブリを行うことができる。 [0057] As described above, the outer case 2, the inner case 3, and the seal element 7 can be integrally formed at the same time as the seal portion 4 is formed in the mold, and the conventional crimping process is completely omitted. . In other words, each component can be assembled at the time of rubber injection molding or compression molding of the seal portion 4.
[0058] なお、インナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11に凸部 12を形成しておけば、インナーケ ース 3とアウターケース 2の両内フランジ部 11, 9の挾着面圧が(局部的に)高まって、 回転軸シール 1として内部リークを有効に防止できると共に、シールエレメント 7と回 転軸との共廻りを防止できるという利点がある。また、凸部 12を設けなくても、インナ 一ケース 3の内径を拡大することでも同じ効果を得ることができる。 [0058] If the convex portion 12 is formed on the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3, the contact surface pressure of the inner case 3 and the inner flange portions 11 and 9 of the outer case 2 is (locally). ) It has the advantage that it can effectively prevent internal leakage as the rotary shaft seal 1 and can prevent co-rotation of the seal element 7 and the rotary shaft. Even if the convex portion 12 is not provided, the same effect can be obtained by enlarging the inner diameter of the inner case 3.
[0059] 上述したように、金属製アウターケース 2と、金属製インナーケース 3と、回転軸に摺 接するゴムリップ部 5を有するゴム製シール部 4と、上記回転軸に摺接するスクリュー 溝 6を有するシールエレメント 7とを、備えた回転軸シールに於て、上記金属製ァウタ 一ケース 2のかしめ加工を省略して、上記シール部 4のモールド成形にて、上記ァゥ ターケース 2とシールエレメント 7とインナーケース 3と上記シール部 4とを一体構造と したものであるので、安価に高品質のものを多量生産可能であり、製造設備も簡略化 できて能率良く生産可能である。 [0059] As described above, the metal outer case 2, the metal inner case 3, the rubber seal portion 4 having the rubber lip portion 5 slidably contacting the rotating shaft, and the screw groove 6 slidably contacting the rotating shaft. In the rotary shaft seal provided with the seal element 7, the caulking process of the metal outer case 2 is omitted, and the outer case 2 and the seal element 7 are molded by molding the seal portion 4. Since the inner case 3 and the seal part 4 have an integrated structure, it is possible to mass-produce high-quality products at low cost, simplify production facilities, and produce efficiently.
[0060] 本実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1は以上説明したように、回転軸 29に摺接するゴムリ ップ部 5を有するゴム製シール部 4を備えた回転軸シールに於て、上記ゴム製シール
部 4が流体収納室側 Aに対応する高圧対応面 27の径方向中間位置に凹周溝 18を 凹設して内周及び外周に沿って上記ゴムリップ部 5及び外周ゴム部 14を夫々円環状 に形成し、かつ、上記凹周溝 18内に該ゴムリップ部 5と上記外周ゴム部 14を連結す る径方向リブ部 41を設けた構成であり、ゴムリップ部 5の変形が円周上異なることにな り、接触面圧 Pが円周上不均等 (不均一)となって、ゴムリップ部 5と回転軸 29との摺 接部位に、密封流体中の潤滑油が導入及び浸入しやすくなり(小さな接触面圧部位 から潤滑油が導入及び浸入しやすく)、回転に伴って、摺接部位の全周に行き渡り、 摩擦熱の発生を低減し、ゴムリップ部 5 (の接触内周端縁 5a)の早期摩擦を防ぎ、長 寿命を図り得る。特に、高速及び高圧条件下でも良好なシール寿命が得られる。 [0060] As described above, the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 1 is the above-mentioned rubber shaft seal provided with the rubber seal portion 4 having the rubber lip portion 5 that is in sliding contact with the rotary shaft 29. sticker Part 4 has a concave groove 18 in the radial intermediate position of the high pressure corresponding surface 27 corresponding to the fluid storage chamber side A, and the rubber lip part 5 and the outer rubber part 14 are annularly formed along the inner and outer circumferences, respectively. And a radial rib portion 41 for connecting the rubber lip portion 5 and the outer peripheral rubber portion 14 is provided in the concave circumferential groove 18, and the deformation of the rubber lip portion 5 is different on the circumference. As a result, the contact surface pressure P becomes uneven on the circumference (non-uniform), and the lubricating oil in the sealing fluid can easily be introduced and infiltrated into the sliding portion between the rubber lip 5 and the rotating shaft 29 ( Lubricating oil can easily be introduced and infiltrated from a small contact surface pressure part), and as it rotates, it spreads all around the sliding contact part, reducing the generation of frictional heat, and the rubber lip part 5 (contact inner peripheral edge 5a) Can prevent premature friction and prolong the service life.

The rotary shaft seal 1 is configured such that the rotary shaft seal 1 of the second embodiment and the modified example 5 are combined. The basic configuration is the same as that described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 24, and repeated description is omitted.

The high pressure side end 60 of 0 is arranged in a different shape so as to be on the high pressure side A! /. That is, the dimensional force S in the axial direction of the inner case 3 is set to be smaller, and the high-pressure side end 70 of the cylindrical portion 8 of the outer case 2 is set to the high-pressure side A than the high-pressure side end surface 10a of the cylindrical portion 10 of the inner case 3 The high-pressure side half 52 of the outer case 2 is not fitted by the inner case 3, but is exposed on the inner diameter side, and is covered with a rubber member. That is, the inner peripheral surface of the high-pressure side half 52 of the metal outer case 2 is exposed (uncovered) and is covered with the rubber member.
[0104] ところで、実施形態 2の回転軸シール 1及びその変形例 1〜6のいずれ(図 12〜図 25)に於ても、シール部 4は、 HNBR単独にて、あるいは、 HNBRを基本とする配合 ゴム材にて、構成したり、他のゴム材を用いる。シールエレメント 7は元の形状(自由 状態)は、図 14及び 22に示すように、円環平板状であり、回転軸を挿入状として組立 てると、断面 L字状として、スクリュー溝 (螺旋溝) 6の側が回転軸の外周面に接触する 。このシールエレメント 7は、 PTFE等のフッ素系榭脂が好適である。シールエレメント 7は外径寄りの部分力 内フランジ部 9と、内フランジ部 11にて挾着保持されているが 、凸部 12がインナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11に形成され、シールエレメント 7の外 径寄りの部位を強く押圧し (面圧が高く)、内部リークを防止している。また、凸部 12を 設けなくても、インナーケース 3の内径を拡大することでも同じ効果を得ることができる 。シールエレメント 7にスクリュー溝 6を形成したことにより、回転軸の回転により流体を 流体収納室側(高圧側) Aへ押し戻すボンビング作用(ハイド口ダイナミック作用)をな し、回転中の密封性を向上させている。 [0104] By the way, in any of the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 2 and its modifications 1 to 6 (Figs. 12 to 25), the seal portion 4 can be HNBR alone or based on HNBR. The composition is made of rubber material or other rubber material is used. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 22, the original shape (free state) of the seal element 7 is an annular flat plate shape. When the rotary shaft is assembled as an insertion shape, the screw element (spiral groove) has an L-shaped cross section. ) 6 side contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft. The seal element 7 is preferably a fluorine-based resin such as PTFE. The seal element 7 has a partial force close to the outer diameter, and is held by the inner flange portion 9 and the inner flange portion 11, but the convex portion 12 is formed on the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3, and the seal element 7 The part near the outer diameter is pressed strongly (surface pressure is high) to prevent internal leakage. Further, the same effect can be obtained by enlarging the inner diameter of the inner case 3 without providing the convex portion 12. By forming the screw groove 6 in the seal element 7, the rotating shaft rotates to push the fluid back to the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A (hydride port dynamic action), improving sealing performance during rotation I am letting.
[0105] 従来例の図 39〜図 41と比較すれば明らかなように、従来のアウターケース 34の内 フランジ部 32は流体収納室側(高圧側) Aに配設されていた力 実施形態 2の回転 軸シール 1では、アウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9は低圧側 Bに配設されている。さ らに、従来のインナーケース 37の内フランジ部は流体収納室側(高圧側) Aに配設さ れていたが、実施形態 2の回転軸シール 1では、インナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11 は低圧側 Bに配設されている。このようにして、低圧側 Bにて、シールエレメント 7は両 内フランジ部 9, 11にて挾持状に圧着保持されている。 As apparent from comparison with FIGS. 39 to 41 of the conventional example, the inner flange portion 32 of the conventional outer case 34 is arranged on the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A Embodiment 2 In the rotary shaft seal 1, the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2 is disposed on the low pressure side B. Further, the inner flange portion of the conventional inner case 37 was disposed on the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A. However, in the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 2, the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3 is 11. Is arranged on the low pressure side B. In this way, on the low pressure side B, the seal element 7 is pressure-bonded and held by the inner flange portions 9 and 11.
[0106] そして、シール部 4は、相互に嵌合した両円筒部 8, 10を外周面側から被覆する外
周凹凸波状嵌着円筒壁部 15と、両円筒部 8, 10の高圧側端面 8a, 10aを被覆する 端面被覆壁部 16と、インナーケース 3の内部に対応するブロック状部 17と、を具備し 、このブロック状部 17の高圧側 Aの端面に、 U字状の凹周溝 18を形成すると共に、 ブロック状部 17の高圧側 Aの内周端寄りから斜めに内径方向に、ゴムリップ部 5が延 伸状に連設される。 [0106] The seal portion 4 is an outer surface that covers the cylindrical portions 8 and 10 fitted to each other from the outer peripheral surface side. A circumferentially concave and convex wavy fitting cylindrical wall portion 15; end surface covering wall portions 16 covering the high pressure side end surfaces 8a and 10a of both cylindrical portions 8 and 10; and a block-like portion 17 corresponding to the inside of the inner case 3. A U-shaped concave groove 18 is formed on the end surface of the block-shaped portion 17 on the high-pressure side A, and the rubber lip portion is inclined obliquely from the inner peripheral end of the block-shaped portion 17 on the high-pressure side A toward the inner diameter. 5 is connected in an elongated shape.
[0107] また、図 12、図 15、図 17、図 20、及び図 23では、このゴムリップ部 5の軸心方向位 置と、端面被覆壁部 16の軸心方向位置を、略一致させている。言い換えれば、凹周 溝 18を形成したことにより、ブロック状部 17とゴムリップ部 5は、略 U字状断面を有し ている。また、図示省略の回転軸の外周面に接触するゴムリップ部 5の接触内周端縁 5aは、図 12、図 15、図 17、及び図 20の例示では、インナーケース 3の高圧側 Aの端 面 10aと、軸心方向略同一位置に配設される。また、図 23では、アウターケース 2の 高圧側 Aの端面 8aと、軸心方向略同一位置に、接触内周端縁 5aを配設している。な お、図示省略したが、この接触内周端縁 5aを、上記端面 10a又は 8aよりも、低圧側 B へ配設するも、好ましい場合がある。 [0107] Also, in Figs. 12, 15, 17, 17, and 23, the axial center position of the rubber lip portion 5 and the axial center position of the end surface covering wall portion 16 are substantially matched. Yes. In other words, the block-shaped portion 17 and the rubber lip portion 5 have a substantially U-shaped cross section by forming the concave circumferential groove 18. Further, the contact inner peripheral edge 5a of the rubber lip portion 5 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft (not shown) is the end on the high pressure side A of the inner case 3 in the illustrations of FIGS. 12, 15, 17, and 20. The surface 10a is disposed at substantially the same position in the axial direction. In FIG. 23, a contact inner peripheral edge 5a is disposed at substantially the same position as the end face 8a on the high pressure side A of the outer case 2 in the axial direction. Although not shown, it may be preferable to dispose the inner peripheral edge 5a on the low pressure side B rather than the end face 10a or 8a.
[0108] この点について、従来例の図 39〜図 41と比較すれば、ゴムリップ部 5が高圧側 A へ殆ど突出せず、回転軸シール 1の全体の幅寸法 Wは、著しく減少できて、コンパク [0108] In this regard, the rubber lip portion 5 hardly protrudes toward the high pressure side A as compared with Figs. 39 to 41 of the conventional example, and the overall width W of the rotary shaft seal 1 can be significantly reduced.

[0109] このように、全幅寸法 W [0109] Thus, the full width dimension W

Specifically, the defect rate due to external factors can be significantly reduced during the manufacturing process of rotary shaft seals and during the assembly of car air conditioner compressors using such seals.
[0110] また、上記凸部 12について、全周にわたって連続状に形成している態様でも良い 力 好ましくは、周方向に交互に凹凸状として凸部 12を断続的に形成すれば、シー ルエレメント 7を挾圧(押圧)する面圧が増大して、シールエレメント 7の回転軸との共 廻りを防止できる。さらにシールエレメント 7と接触する部分は、のこぎりの歯状 (ギザ ギザ)のようになって!/、る方が接着力が向上するのでより好ま U、。 [0110] Further, the convex portion 12 may be continuously formed over the entire circumference. Preferably, if the convex portions 12 are intermittently formed in the circumferential direction alternately, the seal element is formed. The surface pressure for repressing (pressing) 7 increases, and it is possible to prevent the seal element 7 from rotating together with the rotating shaft. Furthermore, the part that comes into contact with the seal element 7 looks like a saw tooth! It is more preferable because it improves the adhesive strength.
[0111] 次に、実施形態 2の回転軸シールの製法を説明する。アウターケース 2とシールェ
レメント 7とインナーケース 3を、図 14又は図 22に示すように、金型のキヤビティ内に 装入する。シールエレメント 7は平板円環状として装入する。つまり、図 14又は図 22 に示すように、アウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9、インナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11 (特には、内フランジ部 11に形成した凸部 12)で、シールエレメント 7を挟んで固定し た状態で、金型(図示せず)内にセットする。次に、流動化ゴム材料を金型内に射出 成形させ、図 12、図 15、図 17、図 20、及び図 23等の断面形状に示すゴムリップ部 5 を有する回転軸シール 1を作製する。 [0111] Next, a method for manufacturing the rotary shaft seal of the second embodiment will be described. Outer case 2 and seal Insert the ment 7 and the inner case 3 into the mold cavity as shown in Fig. 14 or Fig. 22. The sealing element 7 is inserted as a flat plate ring. That is, as shown in FIG. 14 or FIG. 22, the seal element 7 is moved between the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2 and the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3 (particularly, the convex portion 12 formed on the inner flange portion 11). Set in a mold (not shown) with pinched and fixed. Next, the fluidized rubber material is injection-molded into a mold, and the rotary shaft seal 1 having the rubber lip portion 5 shown in the cross-sectional shape of FIG. 12, FIG. 15, FIG. 17, FIG.
[0112] 上述の射出成形の際のゴム材料の流入と加圧によって、ゴム材料は両円筒部 8, 1 0の嵌合間隙部 Gに浸入して、その後の加硫によって、両円筒部 8, 10を強固に一 体化する(ゴム層 13が形成される)。ところで、図 14及び 22に示すように、シールエレ メント 7を挾持するように、アウターケース 2とインナーケース 3とが、圧入しないで嵌合 する状態 (遊嵌状)の場合には、ゴム層 13の偏肉を防止するため、アウターケース及 び Z又はインナーケースに、接着剤又は粘着剤を塗布して相互位置を固定したり、 コンピュータ制御によって相互位置を決定して、その状態下で、金型内にセットし、流 動化ゴム材料を金型内に射出し、シール部 4を成形し、かつ、嵌合間隙部 Gに全周 均一厚さにゴム層 13を形成する。このゴム層 13の厚さ寸法 Tは、ゴムの強度、種類 [0112] By the inflow and pressurization of the rubber material at the time of the injection molding described above, the rubber material enters the fitting gap portion G of the two cylindrical portions 8, 10 and is then vulcanized so that both cylindrical portions 8 , 10 is firmly integrated (rubber layer 13 is formed). By the way, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 22, when the outer case 2 and the inner case 3 are fitted without press-fitting so as to hold the seal element 7 (free fitting), the rubber layer 13 To prevent uneven thickness, apply adhesive or adhesive to the outer case and Z or inner case to fix the mutual position, or determine the mutual position by computer control. Set in the mold, inject the fluidized rubber material into the mold, mold the seal portion 4, and form the rubber layer 13 in the fitting gap portion G to a uniform thickness all around. The thickness T of this rubber layer 13 is the strength and type of rubber.

により異なるが、厚さは薄い方が好ましぐ厚さが大きすぎると、ゴム層 13の(周方向 位置における)偏肉が起こり易い。 However, if the preferred thickness is too large, uneven thickness of the rubber layer 13 (at the circumferential position) tends to occur.
[0113] 他の形態としては、アウターケース 2の内周面とインナーケース 3の内周面力 圧入 状に嵌合するように組立てても良い。その場合には、プレス機やノヽンマー等にて押込 むように組み立てたり、金型の型閉め時に押込むように組み立てて、図 14や図 22の ような中間品を作製して、これを金型内にセットし、流動化ゴム材料を金型内に射出 して、シール部 4を形成する。嵌合間隙部へ流動ゴム材料が浸入して、ゴム層を形成 し、このゴム層による一体化、及び、前述の圧入状の嵌合 (圧入嵌合)による機械的 一体ィ匕の共働によって、一層強固な一体構造の回転軸シールが得られる。 [0113] As another form, the inner peripheral surface of the outer case 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the inner case 3 may be assembled so as to be fitted in a press-fitted shape. In that case, assemble it so that it can be pushed in with a press or nommer, or assemble it so that it is pushed in when the mold is closed, and make an intermediate product as shown in Fig. 14 or Fig. 22 and place it in the mold. Set and inject fluidized rubber material into the mold to form seal 4. Fluid rubber material penetrates into the fitting gap to form a rubber layer, which is integrated by this rubber layer and by the mechanical integration of the above-mentioned press fitting (press fitting). As a result, an even stronger integral rotating shaft seal can be obtained.
[0114] なお、いずれの製造方法にあっても、ゴムと接触する金属製のインナーケース 3及 びアウターケース 2の表面に、接着剤を予め塗布しておけば、回転軸シールとしての 強度及び製品寿命の点で望まし ヽ。
[0115] 以上述べたように、金型内でシール部 4を形成すると同時に、アウターケース 2とィ ンナーケース 3とシールエレメント 7とを一体ィ匕でき、従来の力しめ加工を全く省略し ている。つまり、シール部 4のゴムの射出成形又はコンプレツシヨン成形時に、各部品 のアッセンブリを行うことができる。 [0114] Regardless of the manufacturing method, if an adhesive is applied in advance to the surfaces of the metallic inner case 3 and outer case 2 that are in contact with rubber, the strength and rotational shaft seal will be improved. Desirable in terms of product life. [0115] As described above, the outer case 2, the inner case 3, and the seal element 7 can be integrally formed simultaneously with the formation of the seal portion 4 in the mold, and the conventional crimping process is completely omitted. . In other words, each component can be assembled at the time of rubber injection molding or compression molding of the seal portion 4.
[0116] なお、インナーケース 3の内フランジ部 11に凸部 12を形成しておけば、インナーケ ース 3とアウターケース 2の両内フランジ部 11, 9の挾着面圧が(局部的に)高まって、 回転軸シール 1として内部リークを有効に防止できると共に、シールエレメント 7と回 転軸との共廻りを防止できるという利点がある。また、凸部 12を設けなくても、インナ 一ケース 3の内径を拡大することでも同じ効果を得ることができる。 [0116] If the convex portion 12 is formed on the inner flange portion 11 of the inner case 3, the contact surface pressure of both inner flange portions 11, 9 of the inner case 3 and the outer case 2 (locally) ) It has the advantage that it can effectively prevent internal leakage as the rotary shaft seal 1 and can prevent co-rotation of the seal element 7 and the rotary shaft. Even if the convex portion 12 is not provided, the same effect can be obtained by enlarging the inner diameter of the inner case 3.
[0117] なお、上述の実施形態 2の回転軸シール 1及びその変形例 1〜6以外にも設計変 更自由であって、実施形態 2の回転軸シール 1と変形例 5を合わせたような構成とす るも良い。また、変形例 2と変形例 4を合わせたような構成とするも良い。また、変形例 3と変形例 4を合わせたような構成とするも良い。 [0117] In addition to the rotary shaft seal 1 of the second embodiment and its modifications 1 to 6, the design can be freely changed, and the rotary shaft seal 1 of the second embodiment and the modification 5 are combined. It may be configured. Further, the configuration may be such that Modification 2 and Modification 4 are combined. Further, the configuration may be such that Modification 3 and Modification 4 are combined.

Further, as the sealing element 7, the screw groove 6 may be omitted at all, or a plurality of large and small circular grooves may be formed concentrically. If the inner peripheral surface of the outer case 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the inner case 3 may be fitted in a press-fit manner, assemble them so that they can be pushed in with a press or a nonmmer. An intermediate product such as 14 and 22 is manufactured, set in a mold, and fluidized rubber material is injected into the mold to form a seal portion 4. Fluid rubber material enters the minute fitting gap G to form a rubber layer 13, and it is integrated by the rubber layer 13 and mechanically integrated by press fitting (press fitting). By cooperating with each other, it is possible to obtain a rotating shaft seal with a stronger unitary structure.

In other words, each component can be assembled at the time of rubber injection molding or compression molding of the seal portion 4.

It is assembled as a structure. Specifically, the sealing part 4 is a force formed by molding (injection molding or compression molding). The outer case 2, the seal element 7, and the sealing part 4 are integrally formed by the molding. As a structure

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 29, the seal element 7 has an annular flat plate shape in a free state, and has a hole portion 26 at the center, and a screw groove 6 is formed from an inner peripheral edge of the hole portion 26. A plurality of (four in FIG. 29) through-holes 28 are formed at an equal pitch along the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge 27. As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the through hole 28 is a portion corresponding to the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2. That is, the seal element 7 is fitted in the outer case 2 having a substantially L-shaped cross section, and is in contact with one surface of the inner flange portion 9 (on the high pressure side A). A plurality of through holes 28 are formed so as to correspond to intermediate positions in the radial direction. [0141] When the seal part 4 is molded by molding, the fluidized rubber (rubber material) for molding the seal part 4 is filled in the through-holes 28 of the seal element 7, and the inner flange part 9 Adhere to one surface, and seal element 7, seal 4 and outer case 2 are integrated.
[0142] さらに具体的に説明すれば、シール部 4は断面が Uパッキン形であり、浅い凹周溝 18が高圧側(流体収納室側) Aを向くように配設され、この Uパッキン形のシール部 4 の外周面 29近傍に、低圧側 Bから、アウターケース 2の円筒部 8を差込み状に埋設さ れた一体構造である。 [0142] More specifically, the seal part 4 has a U-packing cross section, and the shallow concave groove 18 is arranged so as to face the high-pressure side (fluid storage chamber side) A. This U-packing type The cylindrical portion 8 of the outer case 2 is embedded from the low pressure side B in the vicinity of the outer peripheral surface 29 of the seal portion 4 in an integrated manner.

That is, the contact inner peripheral end is on the axis orthogonal plane P that is substantially the same as the axis orthogonal plane that is orthogonal to the axis L (of the rotation axis) and is in contact with the high pressure side end surface 8a of the cylindrical portion 8. An edge 5a is provided. Therefore, the overall width dimension W in the axial direction is significantly smaller than the conventional Fig. 39 to Fig. 41 etc.

[0144] 上述の貫孔 28内に流動ゴム材が浸入して(充填して)固化した小柱部 30は、いわ ば貝柱の如ぐアウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9の高圧側 Aの一面に、接着して、シ ールエレメント 7を強固に、アウターケース 2及びシール部 4に一体化できる。これによ つて、カーエアコン用コンプレッサ等に装着されて使用される場合に、摩擦力にてシ ールエレメント 7が回転軸と共廻りせんとしても、シールエレメント 7を確実に保持して 、強固な一体構造を維持できる。
[0145] 図 30は、実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1を断面図にて示し、かつ、同一符号は同様 の構成であることを示している力 この図 30の実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1では、凸 部を有する横断面略 L字形のインナーケース 3が付加されて 、る。インナーケース 3 は円筒部 10と内フランジ部 11を有し、その円筒部 10を、アウターケース 2の円筒部 8 に内嵌し、内フランジ部 11の凸部 12が、シールエレメント 7を押圧して、アウターケー ス 2の内フランジ部 9と共働して、シールエレメント 7を挾圧状に保持している。しかも、 この実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1も、図 39及び図 40の矢印 C方向のかしめ加工を省 略して作製され、シール部 4のモールド成形時に、両円筒部 8, 10の嵌合間隙部 G に浸入した流動ゴム材料が固化して形成された薄肉のゴム層 13にて、全体の部品を 一体化した構造である。 [0144] The small column portion 30 into which the fluid rubber material has entered (filled) and solidified into the above-described through hole 28 is a surface of the high-pressure side A of the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2 like a shell column. The seal element 7 can be firmly integrated with the outer case 2 and the seal portion 4 by bonding. As a result, when used in a car air conditioner compressor, etc., even if the seal element 7 rotates with the rotating shaft due to frictional force, the seal element 7 is securely held and firmly integrated. The structure can be maintained. FIG. 30 is a sectional view of the rotary shaft seal 1 of the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals indicate the same configuration. The rotary shaft seal 1 of the first embodiment of FIG. Then, an inner case 3 having a substantially L-shaped cross section having a convex portion is added. The inner case 3 has a cylindrical portion 10 and an inner flange portion 11. The cylindrical portion 10 is fitted into the cylindrical portion 8 of the outer case 2, and the convex portion 12 of the inner flange portion 11 presses the seal element 7. Thus, the seal element 7 is held in a negative pressure state in cooperation with the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2. In addition, the rotary shaft seal 1 of the first embodiment is also produced by omitting the caulking process in the direction of arrow C in FIGS. 39 and 40, and when the seal portion 4 is molded, the fitting gap between the cylindrical portions 8 and 10 is It is a structure in which all parts are integrated with a thin rubber layer 13 formed by solidifying the fluid rubber material that has entered the part G.
[0146] し力し、図 30の実施形態 1の回転軸シール 1のこのような構造では、インナーケース 3という部品が付加されて部品点数が増えるのみならず、次のような問題がある。即ち 、インナーケース 3の凸部 12で、シールエレメント 7を押圧して、シールエレメント 7が 回転軸と共廻りすることを防止している力 実際の作製上、凸部 12を押圧してシール エレメント 7に食い込ませる量のバラツキが大きぐ品質が安定せず、回転軸と共廻り することが(場合によって)起こるのである。 [0146] In such a structure of the rotary shaft seal 1 of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 30, not only the number of the inner case 3 is added and the number of parts is increased, but there are the following problems. That is, the force that presses the seal element 7 with the convex portion 12 of the inner case 3 to prevent the seal element 7 from rotating together with the rotating shaft. In actual production, the seal element is pressed with the convex portion 12. The variation in the amount of bite into 7 is so large that the quality is not stable, and it may rotate with the rotating shaft (in some cases).
[0147] これに対し、図 27〜図 29に示したものでは、シールエレメント 7の貫孔 28に流入( 充填)した小柱部 30が、アウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9に強固に接着して、シール エレメント 7の(回転軸との)共廻りを阻止できる。 On the other hand, in the case shown in FIGS. 27 to 29, the small column portion 30 that flows (fills) into the through hole 28 of the seal element 7 is firmly bonded to the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2. This prevents the seal element 7 from rotating together (with the rotating shaft).
[0148] シール部 4は、 HNBR単独にて、あるいは、 HNBRを基本とする配合ゴム材にて、 構成したり、他のゴム材を用いる。シールエレメント 7は元の形状は、図 29に示すよう に、円環平板状であり、回転軸を挿入状として組立てると、断面 L字状として、スクリュ 一溝 (螺旋溝) 6の側が回転軸の外周面に接触する。このシールエレメント 7は、 PTF E等のフッ素系榭脂が好適である。シールエレメント 7は外径寄りの部分力 内フラン ジ部 9と、ゴム製シール部 4のブロック状本体部 17の低圧側面にて挾着保持されて ヽ ると共に、(貝柱状の)小柱部 30にて一層強固に一体ィ匕が図られている。シールエレ メント 7にスクリュー溝 6を形成したことにより、回転軸の回転により流体を流体収納室 側(高圧側) Aへ押し戻すボンビング作用(ハイド口ダイナミック作用)をなし、回転中
の密封性を向上させている。 [0148] The seal part 4 is composed of HNBR alone or a compounded rubber material based on HNBR, or uses other rubber materials. As shown in FIG. 29, the original shape of the seal element 7 is an annular flat plate shape.When the rotary shaft is assembled as an insertion shape, it is L-shaped in cross-section and the screw groove (spiral groove) 6 side is the rotary shaft. In contact with the outer circumferential surface. The seal element 7 is preferably a fluorine-based resin such as PTFE. The seal element 7 has a partial force close to the outer diameter. The flange 9 is attached and held on the low pressure side of the block-shaped main body 17 of the rubber seal 4 and the small column (shell-shaped) At 30, the unity is further strengthened. Since the screw groove 6 is formed in the seal element 7, the rotating shaft rotates to push the fluid back to the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A (hydride port dynamic action), and it is rotating. Improves hermeticity.
[0149] 従来例の図 39〜図 41と比較すれば明らかなように、従来のアウターケース 34の内 フランジ部 32は流体収納室側(高圧側) Aに配設されていた力 実施形態 3の回転 軸シール 1では、アウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9は低圧側 Bに配設されている。さ らに、従来のインナーケース 37は、本実施形態 3の回転軸シール 1では全く省略され ている。 As apparent from comparison with FIGS. 39 to 41 of the conventional example, the inner flange portion 32 of the conventional outer case 34 is disposed on the fluid storage chamber side (high pressure side) A Embodiment 3 In the rotary shaft seal 1, the inner flange portion 9 of the outer case 2 is disposed on the low pressure side B. Further, the conventional inner case 37 is completely omitted from the rotary shaft seal 1 of the third embodiment.
[0150] そして、シール部 4は、円筒部 8を外周面側力も被覆する外周凹凸波状嵌着円筒 壁部 15と、円筒部 8の高圧側端面 8aを被覆する端面被覆壁部 16と、アウターケース 2の内部の低圧側 Bの大半部分を占めるブロック状本体部 17とを、具備し、このプロ ック状本体部 17の高圧側 Aに、端面被覆壁部 16に連結される連結部 42、及び、内 径斜め方向に延設されたゴムリップ部 5を一体形成して、浅い U字状の凹周溝 18が 形成されている。 [0150] Then, the seal portion 4 includes an outer circumferential uneven corrugated fitting cylindrical wall portion 15 that covers the cylindrical portion 8 also with an outer peripheral surface side force, an end surface covering wall portion 16 that covers the high-pressure side end surface 8a of the cylindrical portion 8, and an outer A block-shaped main body portion 17 that occupies most of the low-pressure side B inside the case 2, and a connecting portion 42 connected to the high-pressure side A of the block-shaped main body portion 17 to the end face covering wall portion 16. The rubber lip portion 5 extending in the oblique direction of the inner diameter is integrally formed to form a shallow U-shaped concave circumferential groove 18.
[0151] また、図 27では、このゴムリップ部 5の軸心方向位置と、端面被覆壁部 16の軸心方 向位置を、略一致させている。また、図示省略の回転軸の外周面に接触するゴムリツ プ部 5の接触内周端縁 5aは、アウターケース 2の高圧側 Aの端面 8aと、軸心方向略 同一位置に配設される。また、図 38に示したものでは、このゴムリップ部 5の軸心方 向位置は、端面被覆壁部 16の軸心方向位置よりも低圧側 Bに配設されている。また 、図示省略の回転軸の外周面に接触するゴムリップ部 5の接触内周端縁 5aは、ァゥ ターケース 2の高圧側 Aの端面 8aよりも、(軸心方向に)低圧側 B寄りに配設されて!/、 る。この点について、従来例の図 39〜図 41と比較すれば、ゴムリップ部 5が高圧側 A へ殆ど突出せず、回転軸シール 1の全体の幅寸法 Wは、著しく減少できて、コンパク In FIG. 27, the position of the rubber lip portion 5 in the axial center direction and the position of the end surface covering wall portion 16 in the axial center direction are substantially matched. Further, the contact inner peripheral edge 5a of the rubber lip portion 5 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft (not shown) is disposed at substantially the same position as the end surface 8a on the high pressure side A of the outer case 2 in the axial direction. In the case shown in FIG. 38, the axial direction position of the rubber lip portion 5 is arranged on the low pressure side B than the axial direction position of the end surface covering wall portion 16. Further, the contact inner peripheral edge 5a of the rubber lip portion 5 that contacts the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft (not shown) is closer to the low pressure side B (in the axial direction) than the end surface 8a of the high pressure side A of the outer case 2. It is arranged in! / In this regard, when compared with FIGS. 39 to 41 of the conventional example, the rubber lip portion 5 hardly protrudes to the high pressure side A, and the overall width W of the rotary shaft seal 1 can be remarkably reduced.

Specifically, the defect rate due to external factors can be significantly reduced during the manufacturing process of rotary shaft seals and during the assembly of car air conditioner compressors using such seals.
[0153] なお、アウターケース 2のゴム接触 (接着)部位には、予めショットピーユング等にて
表面粗さを大きくして、ゴム接着力を増加させるのが好ましぐ特に、内フランジ部 9の 高圧側の面の表面粗さを大きくして、小柱部 30の先端面との接着力を増加させるの が良い。 [0153] It should be noted that the rubber contact (adhesion) portion of the outer case 2 is preliminarily formed by shot peening or the like It is preferable to increase the rubber adhesion by increasing the surface roughness, and in particular, increase the surface roughness of the high-pressure side surface of the inner flange 9 to increase the adhesion to the tip surface of the small column 30. It is good to increase.
[0154] 次に、実施形態 3の回転軸シール 1の製法の一例を説明すれば、シールエレメント 7の外周沿いに貫孔 28を複数個形成し、円筒部 8と低圧側内フランジ部 9とを有する 断面略 L字形のアウターケース 2の内フランジ部 9に接触するようにシールエレメント 7 を嵌め込み状として、(図示省略の)金型のキヤビティ内に装入し、次に、流動化した ゴム材料を射出成形又はコンプレツシヨン成形にてキヤビティ内に充填して、シール 部 4をモールド成形すると同時に上記貫孔 28に充填したゴム材料にて、アウターケ ース 2の内フランジ部 9の高圧側の一面に接着させ、全体を一体化する。 [0154] Next, an example of a method for producing the rotary shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 3 will be described. A plurality of through holes 28 are formed along the outer periphery of the seal element 7, and the cylindrical portion 8 and the low-pressure side inner flange portion 9 The seal element 7 is fitted into the outer flange 9 of the outer case 2 having a substantially L-shaped cross section and is inserted into the mold cavity (not shown), and then fluidized rubber. Fill the cavity by injection molding or compression molding and mold the seal part 4 at the same time with the rubber material filled in the above-mentioned through holes 28. The high pressure side of the inner flange part 9 of the outer case 2 Adhere to one side and integrate the whole.
[0155] なお、ゴム材料のキヤビティ内への充填の後、加熱加圧にて、加硫し、全体を強固 に一体化する。また、予め接着剤を (金型装入前に)アウターケース 2に塗布 (付着) して、モールド成形後に金属製アウターケース 2とゴム製シール部 4とを、一層強固に 一体化するのが、回転軸シール 1としての強度及び製品寿命の点で、望ましい。 [0155] After filling the rubber material into the cavity, it is vulcanized by heating and pressurizing to firmly integrate the whole. It is also possible to apply (adhere) an adhesive in advance to the outer case 2 (before loading the mold) and to integrate the metal outer case 2 and the rubber seal portion 4 more firmly after molding. It is desirable in terms of strength and product life as a rotary shaft seal 1.
[0156] 以上のように、金型内でシール部 4を形成すると同時に、アウターケース 2とシール エレメント 7とを一体ィ匕でき、従来の力しめ加工を全く省略して、構成部品点数も最少 とでさる。 [0156] As described above, the outer case 2 and the seal element 7 can be integrally formed at the same time as the seal portion 4 is formed in the mold, and the conventional crimping process is completely omitted, and the number of components is minimized. I'll do it.
[0157] 次に、図 31及び図 32は、各々、実施形態 3の回転軸シール 1の変形例 1及び 2を 示し、既述の図 29に代わるものである。つまり、シールエレメント 7の貫孔 28は、図 29 では円形であつたのに対し、図 31では長方形としても良いことを例示し、また、図 32 では貫孔 28は円弧状 (又は扇型)にしても良いことを例示しており、貫孔 28の形状は これ以外にも種々設計変更可能である。 Next, FIG. 31 and FIG. 32 show Modifications 1 and 2 of the rotating shaft seal 1 of Embodiment 3, respectively, which replace FIG. 29 described above. That is, the through hole 28 of the seal element 7 is illustrated as being circular in FIG. 29, but may be rectangular in FIG. 31, and in FIG. 32, the through hole 28 is arcuate (or fan-shaped). However, the shape of the through hole 28 can be variously modified in addition to this.

An example of a rotating shaft seal is shown. That is, in FIG. 33 or FIG. 34 and FIG. 38, the outer peripheral edge 21 corresponding to the corner portion 20 between the cylindrical portion 8 and the inner flange portion 9 of the seal element 7 force outer case 2 is substantially triangular. The shape notch 22 (FIG. 33) or the substantially semicircular notch 22 (FIG. 34) is formed. In FIG. 33 or FIG. 34, each notch 22 is shown with a dotted pattern. Of course, the shape of the notch 22 You can change or increase or decrease the number. Then, by the same manufacturing method as the rotary shaft seal 1 of the above-described Embodiment 3, the rubber force notch portion 22 of the seal portion 4 is filled by molding, and the rubber of the seal portion 4 becomes the corner portion 20. Also, the inner flange 9 is bonded and integrated (see FIG. 38).
[0159] 次に、図 35は、実施形態 3の回転軸シール 1の変形例 5を示し、このシールエレメ ント 7を用いた回転軸シールの一例は、図 38を共用して、示し得る。つまり、図 38及 び図 35に於て、シールエレメント 7力 アウターケース 2の円筒部 8と内フランジ部 9と の隅部 20に対応する外周端縁 21に、波状の凹凸部 23が形成されている。図 35〖こ 於て、この凹凸部 23の凹部 23aを散点模様にて示す。この凹凸部 23は丸味のある 凹凸波型の場合を図 35に示したが、これを角張った三角形や台形や歯形の凹凸波 型や、複雑な凹凸模様とするも、 自由である(図示省略)。 Next, FIG. 35 shows a fifth modification of the rotary shaft seal 1 of the third embodiment, and an example of the rotary shaft seal using this seal element 7 can be shown in common with FIG. That is, in FIG. 38 and FIG. 35, the wavy uneven portion 23 is formed on the outer peripheral edge 21 corresponding to the corner portion 20 between the cylindrical portion 8 and the inner flange portion 9 of the seal element 7 force outer case 2 in FIGS. ing. In FIG. 35, the concave portions 23a of the concave and convex portions 23 are indicated by a dotted pattern. Figure 35 shows an example of a rounded uneven wave shape for the uneven part 23, but it is also possible to make this an uneven triangular wave shape with a triangular shape, trapezoid or tooth shape, or a complex uneven pattern (not shown). ).
