- Polyolefin resin In the present invention, by blending the polyolefin resin with the vulcanized rubber composition of the compressed rubber layer, the friction coefficient of the compressed rubber layer can be reduced and the wear resistance of the belt can be improved. Usually, in order to improve fuel efficiency, the friction coefficient is lowered by excessively adding short fibers, but the interface between the rubber component and the short fibers is likely to crack, and the durability may be impaired. On the other hand, when a polyolefin resin is added instead of increasing the amount of short fibers, the polyolefin resin has a relatively low specific gravity, and even when added in a small amount, the friction coefficient can be reduced, contributing to fuel saving. In particular, the friction coefficient increases when the short fiber wears off as the belt travels.
- the presence of the polyolefin resin can suppress the increase in the friction coefficient even if the short fiber wears off, and can maintain fuel efficiency for a long period of time.
- an appropriate hardness required for durability can be obtained by adding an appropriate amount of polyolefin resin.
- the volume ratio of the short fiber is reduced, and cracking at the interface between the rubber and the short fiber, which is a defect when a large amount of the short fiber is added, can be suppressed.
- the polyolefin resin becomes soft due to the heat generated during travel, and even if peeling (microcracks) occurs at the interface between rubber and short fibers, the polyolefin resin dispersed nearby relaxes the stress concentration (acts as a cushion). ), Crack growth can be suppressed.
- a polyolefin resin plays the role of a reinforcing agent when added in a small amount, unlike reinforcing agents such as short fibers and carbon black. In the present invention, by combining these actions, it is presumed that the lateral pressure rigidity can be increased while maintaining fuel efficiency, and the durability can be improved.
- Polyolefin resin is manufactured by cutting long fibers and has a relatively low material cost compared to short fibers that require an adhesion treatment to give adhesion to rubber. What can be done is also excellent in terms of economy.

Description
なお、前記補強剤の割合は、ゴム成分100質量部に対して80質量部以下であってもよい。前記ポリオレフィン樹脂の割合は、ゴム成分100質量部に対して5~40質量部であってもよい。前記ポリオレフィン樹脂の割合は、補強剤100質量部に対して15~50質量部であってもよい。前記短繊維の割合は、ゴム成分100質量部に対して15~25質量部であってもよい。前記補強剤は、アラミド短繊維及びカーボンブラックを含んでいてもよい。前記ポリオレフィン樹脂の平均分子量は、ASTM D4020に準拠して測定した方法において、20万~600万であってもよい。前記ポリオレフィン樹脂の原料の平均粒径は25~200μmであってもよい。前記圧縮ゴム層中でのポリオレフィン樹脂はアスペクト比1.6~10の長細形状であり、長軸方向がベルト幅方向に対して略平行に配向し、かつ短軸方向がベルト長手方向に対して略平行に配向していてもよい。前記ポリオレフィン樹脂は、圧縮ゴム層の表面に露出していてもよい。前記圧縮ゴム層の表面におけるポリオレフィン樹脂の占有面積は0.2~30%であってもよい。本発明の伝動用ベルトは、無段変速装置に用いられるベルトであってもよい。
本発明の伝動用ベルトは、ベルトの長手方向に延びる心線、この心線の少なくとも一部と接する接着ゴム層、この接着ゴム層の一方の面に形成された圧縮ゴム層、及び前記接着ゴム層の他方の面に形成された伸張ゴム層を備えており、前記圧縮ゴム層は、ゴム成分、ポリオレフィン樹脂及び補強剤を含む加硫ゴム組成物で形成されている。
本発明では、耐久性を向上できる点などから、ゴム成分は、クロロプレンゴムを含む。クロロプレンゴムとしては、慣用のクロロプレンゴムを利用できる。
本発明では、圧縮ゴム層の加硫ゴム組成物にポリオレフィン樹脂を配合することにより、圧縮ゴム層の摩擦係数を低下してベルトの耐摩耗性を向上できる。通常、省燃費性を向上させるためには、短繊維を過度に添加することにより摩擦係数を低下させるが、ゴム成分と短繊維の界面に亀裂が入り易く、耐久性が損なわれる虞がある。これに対して、短繊維を増量する代わりに、ポリオレフィン樹脂を添加すると、ポリオレフィン樹脂は比較的比重が低く、少量の添加でも摩擦係数を低減でき、省燃費性に寄与する。特に、ベルトの走行に伴い短繊維が摩滅すると摩擦係数が上昇するが、ポリオレフィン樹脂の存在により、短繊維が摩滅しても摩擦係数の上昇を抑制でき、長期間に亘り省燃費性を維持できる。また、ポリオレフィン樹脂を適量添加することにより、耐久性に必要な適度な硬度を得られる。さらに、短繊維とポリオレフィン樹脂とを併用することにより、短繊維の体積割合が低くなり、短繊維を多量に添加したときの欠点であるゴムと短繊維との界面での亀裂も抑制できる。詳しくは、走行の発熱によりポリオレフィン樹脂が柔軟になり、ゴムと短繊維との界面で剥離(微小亀裂)が生じても、付近に分散するポリオレフィン樹脂が応力集中を緩和し(クッションの役割をし)、亀裂の成長を抑制できる。特に、ポリオレフィン樹脂は、短繊維やカーボンブラックなどの補強剤と異なり、少量の添加で補強剤の役割を果たす。本発明では、これらの作用が組み合わされることにより、省燃費性を維持しながらも耐側圧剛性を高めることができ、耐久性を向上させることができると推定される。
補強剤は、少なくとも短繊維を含む。短繊維としては、ポリオレフィン繊維(ポリエチレン繊維、ポリプロピレン繊維など)、ポリアミド繊維(ポリアミド6繊維、ポリアミド66繊維、ポリアミド46繊維など)、ポリアルキレンアリレート繊維(ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)繊維、ポリエチレンナフタレート(PEN)繊維などのC2-4アルキレンC6-14アリレート系繊維など)、ビニロン繊維、ポリビニルアルコール系繊維、ポリパラフェニレンベンゾビスオキサゾール(PBO)繊維などの合成繊維;綿、麻、羊毛などの天然繊維;炭素繊維などの無機繊維などが挙げられる。これらの短繊維は、単独で又は二種以上組み合わせて使用できる。これらの短繊維のうち、合成繊維や天然繊維、特に合成繊維(ポリアミド繊維、ポリアルキレンアリレート系繊維など)、中でも、屈曲性、耐側圧性を維持して、摩擦係数を低減できる点から、少なくともアラミド繊維を含む短繊維が好ましい。
ゴム組成物には、必要により、加硫剤又は架橋剤(又は架橋剤系)、共架橋剤、加硫助剤、加硫促進剤、加硫遅延剤、金属酸化物(例えば、酸化亜鉛、酸化マグネシウム、酸化カルシウム、酸化バリウム、酸化鉄、酸化銅、酸化チタン、酸化アルミニウムなど)、軟化剤(パラフィンオイル、ナフテン系オイルなどのオイル類など)、加工剤又は加工助剤(ステアリン酸、ステアリン酸金属塩、ワックス、パラフィンなど)、老化防止剤(酸化防止剤、熱老化防止剤、屈曲き裂防止材、オゾン劣化防止剤など)、着色剤、粘着付与剤、可塑剤、カップリング剤(シランカップリング剤など)、安定剤(紫外線吸収剤、熱安定剤など)、難燃剤、帯電防止剤などを含んでいてもよい。なお、金属酸化物は架橋剤として作用してもよい。
伝動用ベルトの構造は特に制限されず、プーリと接触可能な前記圧縮ゴム層を有するベルトであればよい。伝動用ベルトは、ベルトの長手方向に延びる心線、この心線の少なくとも一部と接する接着ゴム層、この接着ゴム層の一方の面に形成された圧縮ゴム層、及び前記接着ゴム層の他方の面に形成された伸張ゴム層を備えている。
伸張ゴム層は、圧縮ゴム層で例示されたゴム成分を含む加硫ゴム組成物で形成されていてもよく、圧縮ゴム層と同様に補強剤及びポリオレフィン樹脂が含まれていてもよい。さらに、伸張ゴム層は、圧縮ゴム層と同一の加硫ゴム組成物で形成された層であってもよい。
接着ゴム層を形成するための加硫ゴム組成物は、圧縮ゴム層の加硫ゴム組成物と同様に、ゴム成分(クロロプレンゴムなど)、加硫剤又は架橋剤(酸化マグネシウム、酸化亜鉛などの金属酸化物、硫黄などの硫黄系加硫剤など)、共架橋剤又は架橋助剤(N,N’-m-フェニレンジマレイミドなどのマレイミド系架橋剤など)、加硫促進剤(TMTD、DPTT、CBSなど)、増強剤(カーボンブラック、シリカなど)、軟化剤(ナフテン系オイルなどのオイル類)、加工剤又は加工助剤(ステアリン酸、ステアリン酸金属塩、ワックス、パラフィンなど)、老化防止剤、接着性改善剤(レゾルシン-ホルムアルデヒド共縮合物、アミノ樹脂(窒素含有環状化合物とホルムアルデヒドとの縮合物、例えば、ヘキサメチロールメラミン、ヘキサアルコキシメチルメラミン(ヘキサメトキシメチルメラミン、ヘキサブトキシメチルメラミンなど)などのメラミン樹脂、メチロール尿素などの尿素樹脂、メチロールベンゾグアナミン樹脂などのベンゾグアナミン樹脂など)、これらの共縮合物(レゾルシン-メラミン-ホルムアルデヒド共縮合物など)など)、充填剤(クレー、炭酸カルシウム、タルク、マイカなど)、着色剤、粘着付与剤、可塑剤、カップリング剤(シランカップリング剤など)、安定剤(紫外線吸収剤、熱安定剤など)、難燃剤、帯電防止剤などを含んでいてもよい。なお、接着性改善剤において、レゾルシン-ホルムアルデヒド共縮合物及びアミノ樹脂は、レゾルシン及び/又はメラミンなどの窒素含有環状化合物とホルムアルデヒドとの初期縮合物(プレポリマー)であってもよい。
心線は、ベルトの長手方向に延びて配設され、通常、ベルトの長手方向に平行に所定のピッチで並列的に延びて配設されている。心線は、少なくともその一部が接着ゴム層と接していればよく、接着ゴム層が心線を埋設する形態、接着ゴム層と伸張ゴム層との間に心線を埋設する形態、接着ゴム層と圧縮ゴム層との間に心線を埋設する形態のいずれの形態であってもよい。これらのうち、耐久性を向上できる点から、接着ゴム層が心線を埋設する形態が好ましい。
前記圧縮ゴム層を備えた伝動用ベルトを用いると、伝達効率を大きく向上できる。伝達効率とは、ベルトが駆動プーリからの回転トルクを従動プーリに伝える指標であり、この伝達効率が高いほどベルトの伝動ロスが小さく、省燃費性に優れることを意味する。図2に示す駆動プーリ(Dr.)12と従動プーリ(Dn.)13との二つのプーリにベルト11を掛架した二軸レイアウトにおいて、伝達効率は以下のようにして求めることができる。
なお、実際は伝達効率が1以上の値になることはないが、1に近いほどベルトの伝動ロスが小さく、省燃費性に優れていることを表す。
(アラミド短繊維)
アラミド短繊維(平均繊維長3mm、帝人テクノプロダクツ(株)製「コーネックス短繊維」)を、RFL液(レゾルシン及びホルムアルデヒドと、ラテックスとしてのビニルピリジン-スチレン-ブタジエンゴムラテックスとを含有)で接着処理し、固形分の付着率6質量%の短繊維を用いた。RFL液として、レゾルシン2.6質量部、37%ホルマリン1.4質量部、ビニルピリジン-スチレン-ブタジエン共重合体ラテックス(日本ゼオン(株)製)17.2質量部、水78.8質量部を用いた。

1,000デニールのPET繊維を2×3の撚り構成で、上撚り係数3.0、下撚り係数3.0で緒撚りしたトータルデニール6,000のコードを接着処理した繊維。
(ゴム層の形成)
表2(圧縮ゴム層、伸張ゴム層)及び表3(接着ゴム層)のゴム組成物は、それぞれ、バンバリーミキサーなど公知の方法を用いてゴム練りを行い、この練りゴムをカレンダーロールに通して圧延ゴムシート(圧縮ゴム層用シート、伸張ゴム層用シート、接着ゴム層用シート)を作製した。
補強布と圧縮ゴム層用シート(未加硫ゴム)との積層体を、補強布を下にして歯部と溝部とを交互に配した平坦なコグ付き型に設置し、75℃でプレス加圧することによってコグ部を型付けしたコグパッド(完全には加硫しておらず、半加硫状態にある)を作製した。次に、このコグパッドの両端をコグ山部の頂部から垂直に切断した。
(1)硬度
圧縮ゴム層用シートを温度160℃、時間20分でプレス加硫し、加硫ゴムシート(長さ100mm、幅100mm、厚み2mm)を作製した。硬度はJIS K6253(2012)に準じ、加硫ゴムシートを3枚重ね合わせた積層物を試料とし、デュロメータA形硬さ試験機を用いて硬度を測定した。
圧縮ゴム層用シートを温度160℃、時間20分でプレス加硫して作製した加硫ゴムシート(50mm×50mm×8mm厚)より、内径16.2±0.05mmの中空ドリルで切り抜いて、直径16.2±0.2mm、厚さ6~8mmの円筒状の試料を作製した。JIS K6264(2005)に準じ、研磨布を巻きつけた回転円筒ドラム装置(DIN摩耗試験機)を用いて加硫ゴムの摩減量を測定した。
圧縮ゴム層用シートを温度160℃、時間20分でプレス加硫し、加硫ゴム成形体(長さ25mm、幅25mm、厚み12.5mm)を作製した。短繊維は圧縮面に対して垂直方向(厚み方向)に配向させた。この加硫ゴム成形体を2枚の金属製の圧縮板で上下に挟み込み(加硫成形体が圧縮板で押圧されていない挟み込み状態で、上側の圧縮板の位置を初期位置とする)、上側の圧縮板を10mm/分の速度で加硫ゴム成形体に押圧(押圧面25mm×25mm)して加硫ゴム成形体を20%歪ませ、この状態で1秒間保持した後、圧縮板を上方に初期位置まで戻した(予備圧縮)。この予備圧縮を3回繰り返した後、4回目の圧縮試験(条件は予備圧縮と同じ)で測定される応力-歪み曲線より、加硫ゴム成形体の厚み方向の歪が10%となったときの応力を圧縮応力として測定した。なお、測定データのバラツキを小さくするため予備圧縮を3回行なった。
圧縮ゴム層用シートを温度160℃、時間20分でプレス加硫し、加硫ゴム成形体(長さ60mm、幅25mm、厚み6.5mm)を作製した。短繊維は加硫ゴム成形体の幅と平行方向に配向させた。図3に示すように、この加硫ゴム成形体21を、20mmの間隔を空けて回転可能な一対のロール(6mmφ)22a,22b上に置いて支持し、加硫ゴム成形体の上面中央部において幅方向(短繊維の配向方向)に金属製の押さえ部材23を載せた。押さえ部材23の先端部は、10mmφの半円状の形状を有しており、その先端部で加硫ゴム成形体21をスムーズに押圧可能である。また、押圧時には加硫ゴム成形体21の圧縮変形に伴って、加硫ゴム成形体21の下面とロール22a,22bとの間に摩擦力が作用するが、ロール22a,22bを回転可能とすることにより、摩擦による影響を小さくしている。押さえ部材23の先端部が加硫ゴム成形体21の上面に接触し、かつ押圧していない状態を「0」とし、この状態から押さえ部材23を下方に100mm/分の速度で加硫ゴム成形体21の上面を押圧し、加硫ゴム成形体21の厚み方向の歪が10%となったときの応力を曲げ応力として測定した。
ベルトの圧縮ゴム層におけるポリオレフィンについて、ベルトを幅方向に沿って切断し、走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)で観察した画像に基づいて、計測ソフト(Soft Imaging System社製「analySIS」)により、ポリオレフィン(ポリオレフィン粒子)の長軸の平均径(長径)及び短軸の平均径(短径)を測定した。さらに、ベルト1周内の摩擦伝動面(圧縮ゴム層の表面)について、任意の3箇所(面積1.2mm2(1.0mm×1.2mm))で、走査型電子顕微鏡の画像に基づいて、前記計測ソフトにより、摩擦伝動面に対するポリオレフィン粒子(ポリオレフィン相)の占有面積を算出した。
(1)摩擦係数測定
ベルトの摩擦係数は、図4に示すように、切断したベルト31の一方の端部をロードセル32に固定し、他方の端部に3kgfの荷重33を載せ、プーリ34へのベルトの巻き付け角度を45°にしてベルト31をプーリ34に巻き付けた。そして、ロードセル32側のベルト31を30mm/分の速度で15秒程度引張り、摩擦伝動面の平均摩擦係数を測定した。なお、測定に際して、プーリ34は回転しないように固定した。
この走行試験では、ベルトが大きく曲げられた状態(小プーリに巻き付いた状態)で走行させたときのベルトの伝達効率を評価した。
この走行試験では、ベルトがプーリ上をプーリ半径方向外側に摺動させた状態で走行させたときのベルトの伝達効率を評価した。特に、駆動プーリの回転数が大きくなると、ベルトに遠心力が強く作用する。また、駆動プーリの緩み側(図6参照)の位置ではベルト張力が低く作用しており、上記遠心力との複合作用により、この位置でベルトはプーリ半径方向外側に飛び出そうとする。この飛び出しがスムーズに行なわれない、すなわちベルトの摩擦伝動面とプーリとの間に摩擦力が強く作用すると、その摩擦力によりベルトの伝動ロスが生じ、伝達効率が低下することになる。
耐久走行試験は、図7に示すように、直径50mmの駆動(Dr.)プーリ62と、直径125mmの従動(Dn.)プーリ63とからなる2軸走行試験機を用いて行なった。各プーリ62,63にローエッジコグドVベルト61を掛架し、駆動プーリ62の回転数5000rpm、従動プーリ63に10N・mの負荷を付与し、雰囲気温度80℃にてベルト61を最大60時間走行させた。ベルト61が60時間走行すれば耐久性は問題ないと判断した。また、走行後のベルト側面(プーリと接する面)をマイクロスコープで観察して心線の剥離の有無を調べ、剥離部位については剥離の深さをマイクロスコープで測定した。また、走行後の圧縮ゴム側面(プーリと接する面)を目視観察して亀裂の有無を調べた。さらに、高負荷耐久性走行後のベルトについて、摩擦係数及び伝動効率を測定した。
