A rubber composition for a paper feed roller, characterized by comprising (A) a base rubber containing an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer and/or an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer and (B) a vulcanizing agent containing a thiourea compound and/or a triazine compound.

Description

Rubber composition for paper feed roller and paper feed roller
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a rubber composition for forming a paper feed roller.
Background
Various paper feed rollers are incorporated in paper feed mechanisms of machines such as an electrostatic copier, a laser printer, a plain paper facsimile machine, a combination device thereof, an image forming apparatus such as an ink jet printer, and an Automated Teller Machine (ATM). The paper feed roller rotates while contacting paper (including plastic films and the like, the same applies hereinafter), and transfers the paper by friction.
As the paper feed roller, a roller made of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) is often used. However, in the roller made of EPDM, when paper having a large amount of dust is repeatedly conveyed, the friction coefficient of the paper feed roller is reduced, and a conveyance failure such as non-conveyance may occur. Therefore, as in patent document 1, it is proposed to dope EPDM with Isoprene Rubber (IR) to suppress a decrease in the friction coefficient of the roller.
In addition, it has been proposed to use epichlorohydrin rubber as a material for a paper feed roller, and for example, patent document 2 describes a paper feed belt containing epichlorohydrin rubber and a sulfur-based vulcanizing agent.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
When a paper feed roller repeatedly conveys paper containing silica or silicate components, the friction coefficient of the paper feed roller is reduced, and a conveyance failure occurs.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a paper feed roller capable of suppressing a decrease in friction coefficient even when paper containing a large amount of silicate components such as silica and talc is repeatedly conveyed.
Means for solving the problems
The rubber composition for a paper feed roller according to the present invention is characterized by containing (a) a base rubber containing an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer and/or an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer and (B) a vulcanizing agent containing a thiourea compound and/or a triazine compound.
The rubber composition contains a specific indene alkanol (hydrin) series rubber as (A) a base rubber and a thiourea compound and/or triazine compound as (B) a vulcanizing agent, so that the obtained paper feed roller can inhibit the reduction of the friction coefficient even if the paper containing a large amount of silicate components is repeatedly conveyed. Further, although there are some indene alkanol-based rubbers which can be sulfur-crosslinked or peroxide-crosslinked, when these crosslinking agents are used, desired roll characteristics cannot be obtained.
ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
When the rubber composition for a paper feed roller of the present invention is used, a paper feed roller in which a decrease in the friction coefficient is suppressed can be produced even when paper containing a large amount of silicate components such as silica and talc is repeatedly conveyed.

< paper feed roller >
The paper feed roller of the present invention is obtained by curing the rubber composition for paper feed rollers.
The shape of the paper feed roller may be cylindrical, polygonal cylindrical, or polygonal columnar. When the paper feed roller has a cylindrical shape or a polygonal cylindrical shape, the paper feed roller preferably has a shaft. The material of the shaft is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include metal, ceramic, and resin.
Fig. 1 shows an example of a paper feed roller. The paper feed roller 1 shown in fig. 1 includes a cylindrical roller body 2 and a shaft 4 inserted through a through hole 3 of the roller body 2.
The roller body 2 can be formed by, for example, press molding, extrusion molding, or the like using the rubber composition for a paper feed roller. In the press molding method, a mold having a cavity corresponding to the three-dimensional shape of the roller body 2 is prepared, and the rubber composition is filled in the cavity of the mold and heated under pressure to crosslink the rubber composition, thereby forming the roller body 2. In the extrusion molding method, the roller body 2 is formed by extrusion molding into a cylindrical shape using an extrusion molding machine to which a die corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the roller body 2 is connected, and then crosslinking.
The roller body 2 and the shaft 4 are integrated by, for example, forming the outer diameter of the shaft 4 to be slightly larger than the inner diameter of the through-hole 3 of the roller body 2, pressing the shaft 4 into the through-hole 3, bonding the both with an adhesive, or vulcanization bonding with a vulcanization adhesive when the roller body 2 is crosslinked.
At any time before and after the integration, the both ends of the roller body 2 may be further cut as necessary so that the axial length of the roller body 2, that is, the width of the paper feed roller 1 becomes a predetermined value. In addition, the roller body 2 may be formed in a 2-layer structure of an outer layer on the outer peripheral side and an inner layer on the shaft 4 side. In this case, at least the outer layer may be formed of the rubber composition for a paper feed roller.
The paper feed roller 1 of the present invention can be used as various paper feed rollers such as a paper feed roller, a transport roller, a platen roller, and a paper discharge roller of a paper feed mechanism incorporated in an image forming apparatus such as an electrostatic copier, a laser beam printer, a plain paper facsimile, a composite apparatus thereof, or an ink jet printer, and further incorporated in a machine such as an Automated Teller Machine (ATM).

The hardness of the cured product of the rubber composition was measured in accordance with JIS K6253-3 (2012). Specifically, a sheet having a thickness of 2mm was prepared by pressing at 170 ℃ for 20 minutes using the rubber composition. In order to prevent the influence of the measurement substrate and the like, the hardness was measured using an automatic hardness meter (manufactured by polymer instruments) in a state where 3 sheets of the sheet were stacked. The detector used a type a durometer.
(2) Tensile strength and elongation at break
The tensile strength and elongation at break (elongation at break) of the cured product of the rubber composition were measured in accordance with JIS K6251 (2017). Specifically, a sheet having a thickness of 2mm was produced by pressing the rubber composition at 170 ℃ for 20 minutes, and a test piece was produced by punching the sheet into a dumbbell shape (dumbbell No. 3 shape, thickness of parallel portion of 2mm, initial inter-reticle distance of 20 mm). The physical properties were measured using a tensile test measuring apparatus (measurement temperature 23 ℃ C., tensile speed 500 mm/min). The tensile strength was then calculated by dividing the maximum tensile force recorded during the time when the test piece was pulled until it was cut by the cross-sectional area of the test piece before the test.

[ production of paper feed roller ]
The rubber composition thus obtained was molded into a cylindrical shape by transfer molding under molding conditions of 170 ℃ for 30 minutes. A rod (outer diameter 12 mm) was pressed into a cylindrical molded article, and the molded article was polished with a cylindrical polishing machine so that the outer diameter of the rubber roller became 22mm and the width of the rubber roller portion was cut to 25mm to prepare a paper feed roller. The evaluation results of the obtained paper feed roller are shown in tables 1 and 2.
The rubber compositions Nos. 1 to 5 each contained (A) an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer or an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer as a base rubber and (B) the thiourea compound as a crosslinking agent.
The rubber compositions Nos. 6 to 8 contained (A) an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer or an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer as a base rubber and (B) a triazine compound as a crosslinking agent.
The paper feed rollers produced using these rubber compositions Nos. 1 to 8 had high initial friction coefficients for both calcium carbonate-containing paper and silica (silicate) -containing paper, and the decrease in friction coefficient after repeated paper passes was also suppressed. Therefore, it is considered that the transmission failure is suppressed even when used for a long time.
In particular, the reduction of the friction coefficient is further suppressed after the paper containing silica (silicate) is repeatedly passed through the paper by using the paper feed rollers manufactured by using the rubber compositions Nos. 1 to 3 and 6 to 7 in which the average content of the ethylene oxide component is 50% or more.
The rubber compositions nos. 9 and 10 do not contain (a) an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer and/or an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer as a base rubber.
The rubber compositions Nos. 11 and 12 do not contain the thiourea compound and/or the triazine compound (B) as the crosslinking agent.
The paper feed rollers manufactured using these rubber compositions nos. 9 to 12 had a high initial friction coefficient against silica (silicate) -containing paper, but the friction coefficient was greatly reduced after repeated paper passes. Therefore, it is considered that a conveyance failure occurs in a short time if these paper feed rollers are used.
The present invention (1) is a rubber composition for a paper feed roller, comprising (A) a base rubber comprising an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer and/or an epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer, and (B) a vulcanizing agent comprising a thiourea compound and/or a triazine compound.
The present invention (2) is the rubber composition for a paper feed roller according to the present invention (1), wherein the epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer and/or the epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer has an ethylene oxide content of 50mol% or more.
The present invention (3) is the rubber composition for a paper feed roller according to the present invention (1) or (2), wherein the total content of the epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide copolymer and/or the epichlorohydrin-ethylene oxide-allyl glycidyl ether copolymer in the base rubber (a) is 85 mass% or more.
The present invention (4) is the rubber composition for a paper feed roller according to any one of the inventions (1) to (3), wherein the amount of the thiourea compound and/or the triazine compound is 0.1 to 10 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the base rubber (a).
The present invention (5) is a paper feed roller obtained by curing the rubber composition for a paper feed roller according to any one of the present invention (1) to (4).
