Description
本発明は電気接点用潤滑組成物に関し、特に、電子機器などの機構部品（スイッチ、エンコーダーなど）の摺動電気接点やそれに近接する摺動部分に用いられる電気接点用の潤滑組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a lubricating composition for electrical contacts, and more particularly to a lubricating composition for electrical contacts used for sliding electrical contacts of mechanical parts such as electronic devices (switches, encoders, etc.) and sliding portions adjacent thereto.
従来の電子機器などの機構部品（スイッチ、エンコーダーなど）の摺動電気接点の保護、及びそれに近接する摺動部分に用いられる潤滑組成物は、シリコーンオイルや合成油をシリカ粉や金属石鹸で増稠した潤滑剤である。電気的に安定な接続を得るためには、シリコーンオイルを用いた潤滑剤が有効であるが、硫化水素のような腐食性ガスを遮断する特性に欠けるので、これを補うために通常硫化防止剤を用いる（特許文献１）。
しかしながら、硫化防止剤の添加によって電気接点の表面に皮膜を形成するため潤滑性は良くなるものの接触抵抗は不安定となり、静止状態の接続安定性は確保されても、外部からの衝撃振動や摺動時のような動的な接続安定性は劣化してしまう。また、接触抵抗を重視して硫化防止を無視したとしても金属同士の接触が強くなるため、摩耗が生じてしまい電気接点の作動寿命が短くなり、昨今の１００万回を越える長寿命の要求を満足しなくなる。 However, the addition of an anti-sulfurizing agent forms a film on the surface of the electrical contact, which improves the lubricity, but the contact resistance becomes unstable, and even if the connection stability in the stationary state is ensured, external impact vibration and sliding Dynamic connection stability such as when moving will deteriorate. Even if the prevention of sulfidization is ignored with an emphasis on contact resistance, the metal-to-metal contact becomes strong, resulting in wear and shortening the operating life of the electrical contact. I'm not satisfied.
同様に、炭化水素油を始めとした合成油の場合には、シリコーンオイルに比較して潤滑油膜が強く、潤滑性やガス遮断性は良好であるが、接触抵抗は安定し難い傾向にある。過去のアナログ回路では静止接続の安定性だけも機能してきたが、近年のデジタル信号処理が電子回路の主流となっている中では使用に耐えない。特に近年の軽薄短小化の電気・電子機器の動向にあって、接触荷重も軽量化し、軽い操作が必要とされるようになって来ると一層この要求は高くなっている。 Similarly, in the case of synthetic oils such as hydrocarbon oils, the lubricating oil film is stronger and the lubricity and gas barrier properties are better than silicone oil, but the contact resistance tends to be difficult to stabilize. In the past analog circuits, only the stability of the static connection has been functioning, but it cannot be used while the digital signal processing in recent years has become the mainstream of electronic circuits. In particular, with the recent trend of light and thin electrical and electronic devices, this demand is further heightened when the contact load is reduced in weight and light operation is required.
これらの要求を溝足するために潤滑剤に研磨剤などを加えると、摺動部の摩耗が著しくなり電気接点の要求作動寿命を満足しない。一方で、シリコーン系潤滑剤は接触安定性に優れた特性は持つものの、シロキサンガスの懸念から使用に当たって制約が設けられる。このため、シリコーンオイルを用いない潤滑剤であって接触の安定性が確保できるものが必要となっている。しかしながら、接触抵抗を安定化することのできる電気接点用潤滑剤が存在しないため、接点の接触力を上げる方法を採らざるを得ないのが実状である。すなわち、２０ｇ以下程度の軽荷重接点において、電気的な接続の安定性を静止状態、摺動状態、及び外的な振動が印加される状態においても確保でき、かつ作動寿命が長い電気接点用潤滑組成物が求められている。 If an abrasive or the like is added to the lubricant in order to satisfy these demands, the sliding portion will be worn significantly and the required operating life of the electrical contacts will not be satisfied. On the other hand, silicone-based lubricants have characteristics excellent in contact stability, but are restricted in use due to concerns about siloxane gas. For this reason, a lubricant that does not use silicone oil and that can ensure the stability of contact is required. However, since there is no electrical contact lubricant capable of stabilizing the contact resistance, the actual situation is that a method for increasing the contact force of the contact must be employed. That is, for light load contacts of about 20 g or less, the electrical connection stability can be ensured even in a stationary state, a sliding state, and a state where external vibration is applied, and the operating life is long. There is a need for a composition.
本発明はかかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、軽荷重接点においても電気接点部の接触抵抗の安定化及び耐硫化性を損なうことなく、作動寿命を改良した電気接点用潤滑組成物を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides a lubricating composition for electrical contacts that has improved operating life without impairing the stabilization and sulfidation resistance of the electrical contact portion even at light load contacts. The purpose is to do.

オルガノチオール化合物は、耐硫化性、接触抵抗などを考慮して、基油成分１００重量部に対して０．０１重量部〜０．１重量部の範囲で含まれる。また、接触抵抗をより安定化するためには、シリカ微粉末の含有量がオルガノチオール化合物の含有量よりも多いことが好ましい。 The organothiol compound is included in the range of 0.01 parts by weight to 0.1 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base oil component in consideration of resistance to sulfidation, contact resistance and the like. Moreover, in order to stabilize contact resistance more, it is preferable that content of a silica fine powder is larger than content of an organothiol compound.
本発明の電気接点用潤滑組成物は、基油成分及び増稠剤成分を加熱混合し、そこにフッ素オイル、フッ素樹脂微粉末、シリカ微粉末及びオルガノチオール化合物を加えて調合する。また、本発明の電気接点用潤滑組成物においては、本発明の効果を損なわない量的、質的範囲内で、他の添加物、例えば酸化防止剤などを混合しても良い。 The lubricating composition for electrical contacts of the present invention is prepared by heating and mixing a base oil component and a thickener component, and adding fluorine oil, fluororesin fine powder, silica fine powder and organothiol compound thereto. Further, in the lubricating composition for electrical contacts of the present invention, other additives such as an antioxidant may be mixed within a quantitative and qualitative range that does not impair the effects of the present invention.
本発明の電気接点用潤滑組成物において、フッ素オイルは、基油である炭化水素油と増稠剤である金属石鹸とで構成されるベースオイルと混合し難い成分である。そして、このフッ素オイルは、ベースオイルに対して上記混合量、すなわち少量加えている。ベースオイルについては、その潤滑性を向上させるためには、油膜の強度を高める必要があるが、油膜の強度を高めると、荷重に対する油切れが悪くなる。例えば、２０ｇ以下の荷重の電気接点においては、油膜の強度を高くして潤滑性を高くすると、油膜の切れが悪くなり、接触の確実性が低下する恐れがある。したがって、本発明においては、ベースオイルに混ざり難いオイルを積極的に比較的少量加えて、油切れを良くしている。これにより接触抵抗の安定化を図ることが可能となる。なお、ベースオイルに対して混ざり難いオイルであれば、フッ素オイル以外のオイルを用いても良い。 In the lubricating composition for electrical contacts of the present invention, fluorine oil is a component that is difficult to mix with a base oil composed of a hydrocarbon oil as a base oil and a metal soap as a thickener. The fluorine oil is added to the base oil in the amount of the above mixture, that is, a small amount. In order to improve the lubricity of the base oil, it is necessary to increase the strength of the oil film. However, if the strength of the oil film is increased, the oil shortage with respect to the load becomes worse. For example, in an electrical contact having a load of 20 g or less, if the strength of the oil film is increased to increase the lubricity, the oil film may be broken and the reliability of contact may be reduced. Therefore, in the present invention, a relatively small amount of oil that is difficult to mix with the base oil is positively added to improve oil shortage. As a result, the contact resistance can be stabilized. An oil other than fluorine oil may be used as long as it is difficult to mix with the base oil.
本発明の電気接点用潤滑組成物において、シリカ微粉末は、研磨材としての役割を果たし、ベースオイルやフッ素オイルを物理的に油切れする。したがって、上記フッ素オイルとシリカ微粉末とにより、油切れを良好に起こさせて、２０ｇ以下程度の低荷重でも接触抵抗の安定化を図ることができる。また、このシリカ微粉末は、研磨効果を有するので、ごく微量加えることにより、電気接点の作動寿命を長くすることができる。なお、シリカ微粉末の代わりに、フラーレン粒子などを用いても良い。さらに、シリカ微粉末は、ベースオイルとフッ素オイルのような混ざり難いオイルに対してチクソ性を持たせる働きがある。 In the lubricating composition for electrical contacts of the present invention, the silica fine powder plays a role as an abrasive and physically drains the base oil and fluorine oil. Therefore, the fluorine oil and the silica fine powder can cause oil shortage and stabilize the contact resistance even at a low load of about 20 g or less. In addition, since this silica fine powder has a polishing effect, the working life of the electrical contact can be extended by adding a very small amount. In addition, fullerene particles may be used instead of silica fine powder. Further, the silica fine powder has a function of imparting thixotropy to difficult-to-mix oils such as base oil and fluorine oil.
このように、本発明の電気接点用潤滑組成物は、電子機器などの機構部品の摺動電気接点、及びそれに近接する摺動部分に用いた場合に、フッ素オイル及びシリカ微粉末により電気接点部の接触抵抗の安定化を図ることができ、オルガノチオール化合物により耐硫化性を発揮することができる。また、各成分の含有量を調整することにより、接触抵抗の安定化や耐硫化性を損なわずに長期の作動耐久性を格段に向上させることができる。 Thus, the lubricating composition for electrical contacts of the present invention, when used for sliding electrical contacts of mechanical parts such as electronic devices, and sliding parts adjacent thereto, the electrical contact part by fluorine oil and silica fine powder. The contact resistance can be stabilized, and the organothiol compound can exhibit sulfidation resistance. Further, by adjusting the content of each component, long-term operation durability can be remarkably improved without impairing contact resistance stabilization or sulfidation resistance.
