Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seal packing 1 which is low in reaction force and high in compression, and hardly causes permanent set in fatigue of rubber. <P>SOLUTION: A packing mounting groove 4 is formed on a body 2 side of an air cleaner, and a seal wall portion 5 is formed on a cover 3 side. The seal packing 1 made from solid rubber has an approximately U-shaped section including a center wall portion 11 receiving the seal wall portion 5 and both side leg portions 12, 13, and is formed in an continuous shape of endless frame in advance. With the seal packing 1 mounted in a packing mounting groove 4, a tip of the leg portion 12 is brought into press-contact with a tip of the leg portion 13 to constitute a hollow portion on a back face side of the central wall portion 11. Since the seal wall portion 5 presses a center portion of the central wall portion 11, the seal wall portion is easily deformed by the presence of the hollow portion, so that the seal wall portion is low in reaction force and high in compression. Air sealed in the hollow portion gives restoring force to the seal wall portion, and the permanent set in fatigue is suppressed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

As a seal packing for an air cleaner,
For example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 6-76647, there is known one in which an elastic material such as rubber is formed into a rectangular cross section and a seal lip is extended from a part thereof to a tongue shape. . In this structure, the seal lip abuts against the air cleaner cover to seal the air cleaner cover, and the portion having a rectangular cross section functions as a stopper portion to prevent excessive compressive deformation.

In any of the above-mentioned conventional structures, the mating member has a flat contact surface, and the seal packing abuts on this contact surface, so that the reaction force acting as a whole is large. Will be things. In particular, when the amount of deformation of the seal packing increases due to various errors, a large reaction force acts. Therefore, when the mating member, for example, the air cleaner cover is made of synthetic resin, it is necessary to form the cover so as to have sufficient rigidity by increasing its thickness, adding ribs, etc. A problem such as an increase in the weight occurs.

The legs 12 and 13 have a substantially symmetrical shape,
The front end side is relatively thick thick portions 12a and 13a, and the central wall 11 side is relatively thin thin portion 12
b and 13b. The outer side surfaces 15 and 16 of these leg portions 12 and 13 are configured as linear flat surfaces, and therefore the thick wall portions 12a and 13a bulge inward from each other. Further, the thickness gradually changes in a tapered shape from the thick portions 12a and 13a to the thin portions 12b and 13b. The thick-walled portions 12a and 13a are adapted to be pressed against each other in a state where the seal packing 1 is inserted into the packing mounting groove 4, but one thick-walled portion is used to stabilize the position of the contact portion. The inner side surface 17 of the portion 12a forms a plane substantially parallel to the outer side surface 15 thereof, and the inner side surface 18 of the other thick portion 13a is an R surface, that is, a curved surface. Thereby, when the legs 12 and 13 are brought close to each other, the point that becomes the top of the arc of the inner side surface 18 is
First, it comes into contact with the inner surface 17. Also each leg 1
Beads 19 and 20 having a wedge-shaped cross section are formed on the outer side surfaces 15 and 16 of the second and the third side portions 13 and 20 so that the inner side surfaces 4a and 4b of the packing mounting groove 4 are strongly pressed against each other. The bead portions 19 and 20 are located near the tips of the leg portions 12 and 13, but are particularly aligned with the abutting portions of the leg portions 12 and 13 in the state of being attached to the packing attaching groove 4. , Its position is fixed.

The seal packing 1 constructed as described above
2 is mounted in the packing mounting groove 4 as shown in FIG. 2. In this mounting state, the left and right leg portions 12 and 13 are pressed inward with each other, and the thick-walled portions 12a and 13a at their tips are attached to each other. Press against each other. Then, the central wall portion 11 is slightly bent in an arc shape, but the central wall portion 11 and the left and right thin wall portions 12b and 13b are provided on the back side thereof.
A hollow portion 21 surrounded by and is formed. It should be noted that the depth of the packing mounting groove 4 is preferably substantially the same as the height of the seal packing 1 as shown in the figure, and therefore, the top of the sealing packing 1 is along the opening surface of the packing mounting groove 4. The surface 14 is exposed. Also, the left and right legs 1
The bead portions 19 and 20 of 2 and 13 are in pressure contact with the inner side surfaces 4a and 4b of the packing mounting groove 4 to reliably seal between the packing mounting groove 4 and the seal packing 1. Further, the reaction force caused by the pressure contact between the bead portions 19 and 20 is
Since it acts on the abutting portions of 2 and 13, each thick portion 1
The 2a and 13a are reliably pressed against each other, and the inside of the hollow portion 21 can be maintained in a sealed state.

The cover 3 which constitutes an air cleaner together with the body 2 is secured to the body 2 by suitable fastening means such as screws.
It is fixed by tightening against. In this state, as shown in FIG. 3, the seal wall portion 5 is brought into pressure contact with the seal packing 1 to seal between the two. Here, since the sealing wall portion 5 presses the central portion of the central wall portion 11, that is, the portion corresponding to the hollow portion 21, the central wall portion 11 is easily deformed inward while the hollow portion 21 is crushed. Therefore, the reaction force applied to the cover 3 is small, and a reliable seal due to a large compression deformation can be obtained. Further, since the air is enclosed in the hollow portion 21, an appropriate restoring force can be obtained and so-called "sag" is suppressed.

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, since the central wall portion having the hollow portion on the back side receives the seal wall portion, a low reaction force and a high compression force can be obtained. A seal packing can be provided. In particular, since it can be molded in a substantially U-shaped open state at the time of molding, it is possible to mold into a desired endlessly continuous shape in advance. In addition, by enclosing air in the hollow portion, the restoring force can be increased and "sag" can be suppressed.
