Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、軽量・傾斜搬送または軽量・定ピッチ搬送等に使用されるベルト表面に逆T字型桟(桟部材ともいう)を取り付けた桟付樹脂ベルトと、そのベルト本体の両端部を接合すると同時に桟部材を接着する製造方法に関する。
【0002】
本発明に係る桟付樹脂ベルトは、例えば、図2に使用状況を表す側面図を示すように、ベルト本体3のベルト表面に用途により決定される所定間隔ごとに桟部材2を取り付け、駆動ローラ12と従動ローラ13との間に懸回し矢印yの方向に回転させる。搬送物15は搬送物供給位置30より各桟部材2ごとに供給され、搬送先位置31にて送り出される。この桟付樹脂ベルト1は搬送物15を一定ピッチで搬送する場合や搬送物供給位置30と搬送先位置31とが高さに相当の差がある場合(傾斜搬送コンベヤ)に好ましく使用される。
【0003】
【従来の技術】
従来、桟付樹脂ベルトは所定長さのベルト本体を作成し、個々の搬送手段(コンベヤ)の寸法に応じてベルト端部を接合して所定の長さの無端状の搬送ベルトとして使用する。この接合方法は通常、いわゆるラップジョイント法とフィンガージョイント法が用いられる。
【0004】
ラップドジョイント法は、図3(a)に接合部の平面図を、図3(b)に接合部の断面図を示すように、ベルト端部3’、3”をベルト長さ方向(矢印x)にテーパ状に切断し、切断されたベルト端部3’、3”を重ね合わせて接合する。接合作業は切断されたベルト端部3’のカバー材4を芯体5より剥離除去して両ベルト端部3’、3”の間に必要な接着材を重ね合わせて積層し加熱接着する(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
【0005】
フィンガージョイント法は、図4(a)に接合部の平面図を、図4(b)に接合部の側面図を示すように、ベルト本体3の両端部を相互に嵌め合わせ可能な形状のフィンガー8’、8”に裁断し、対応するフィンガー8’、8”を突き合わせて、その片面にカバー材4、裏側補強布6を当てて加圧・加熱して接合する(例えば、特許文献2参照)。接合部はベルト長さ方向に対して垂直な場合と傾斜する場合とがある。また、フィンガージョイント法においては、接合部破断強度を強くするために、フィンガー8’、8”のステップ長さw’を長くすることが多い。
【0006】
一方、桟部材は、図5に接合部22に取り付けた桟部材2のベルト長さ方向の断面図を示すように、逆T字型桟であってその平たい底部20をベルト本体3のカバー材4の表面に接着している。この桟部材2は、長さ方向をベルト長さ方向(矢印x)に垂直な方向(幅方向)に取り付けられる。なお、この桟部材2はポリウレタン、ポリ塩化ビニル等の弾性体を主体として成形されている。
【0007】
ラップドジョイント法では接合部と接合部以外の部位とで段差(厚みの差)を生じやすく、かつ、ベルト長さ方向に対して傾斜して接合され(図3(a)参照)、桟部材2は通常ベルト長さ方向に垂直に取り付けられる(図1(a)参照)ので、前記段差により逆T字型桟を接合部に強く貼り付けることが難しくなる。また、ベルト端部3’、3”を接合し、または、桟部材2をベルト本体3に接着するためにウエルダーや熱プレスなどを利用することが多いが、ベルト端部の接合および桟部材のベルト本体3への接着を同一箇所に行うと、接合部の熱負荷が約2倍になり接合部破断強度(接合強度ともいう)の低下を招く恐れがある。そこで通常、接合部を避けて桟部材が取り付けられる。
【0008】
更に、ベルト端部3’、3”を長いステップのフィンガー形状に裁断することは、高度の熟練した技能が必要であり、かつ、長時間を要する問題がある。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、ベルト本体の端部をフィンガージョイント法により接合して無端状の桟付樹脂ベルトとするとき、ステップ長さ〔フィンガージョイントのフィンガー(波形)部分の長さをいう〕を大幅に短くして接合作業を容易にし、かつ、必要な接合強度を確保しながら逆T字型桟を接着し、また、長期に使用してもフィンガーの端部が剥離することがない桟付樹脂ベルトとその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記した課題を解決するために請求項1に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトは、ベルト本体の両端部がフィンガージョイントされ、そのフィンガージョイントされた接合部を含むベルト表面に複数の逆T字型桟を間隔をあけて備えた樹脂ベルトであって、前記フィンガージョイントされた接合部のベルト表面に前記逆T字型桟の底部を接着するとともに、この底部の幅を、前記フィンガージョイントされた接合部のステップ長さより広くしたことを特徴とする。
【0012】
フィンガージョイントされた接合部(単に接合部ともいう)に、そのステップの長さより広い底部の幅を有する逆T字型桟を接着することにより、フィンガーの端部は逆T字型桟の底部でカバーされて、搬送ベルトとして使用されるときに、フィンガーの端部は搬送物等と接触することが無く長期間使用しても剥離することがない。
【0013】
逆T字型桟の底部はベルト本体の接合部に接着することにより補強部材の機能を果たして、フィンガーの長さが短くても必要な接合部破断強度を確保できる。即ち、フィンガージョイントされた接合部は芯体が切断され、熱履歴が多いことなどにより、通常、接合部以外の部分より強度が低下することが多いが、逆T字型桟の底部により補強され、短いステップでフィンガージョイントしても必要な接合強度を得ることができる。なお、必要な接合強度は設計された桟付樹脂ベルトの搬送条件(搬送距離、速度、傾斜など)により設計される。
【0014】
請求項2に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトは、前記フィンガージョイント部の裏面に、補強布を貼り付けていることを特徴とする。接合部の裏面に薄い帆布などの補強布を貼り付けることにより接合部の強度は一層増強されている。
【0015】
請求項3に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトは、逆T字型桟の底部接着面に底部補強布を貼り付けていることを特徴とする。伸びやすい弾性体を主体とする逆T字型桟の底部に底部補強布を貼り付けることにより、ベルト接合部に負荷される張力を底部補強布で負担して接合強度を一層向上することができる。
【0016】
請求項4に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトの製造方法は、ベルト本体の両端部がフィンガージョイントされ、そのフィンガージョイントされた接合部を含むベルト表面に複数の逆T字型桟を間隔をあけて備えた樹脂ベルトの製造方法であって、フィンガージョイントされる前記ベルト本体の両端部を相互に嵌め合わせ可能なフィンガー形状に裁断して突き合わせ、このフィンガージョイントされた接合部のベルト表面に、前記フィンガーのステップ長さより広い底部を有する逆T字型桟の底部を重ね合わせた後、前記フィンガージョイント部と前記逆T字型桟とを加圧加熱する接合装置に装着し、加圧して加熱することにより、前記ベルト本体の接合作業と前記逆T字型桟をベルト本体に接着する作業とを同時に行うことを特徴とする。
【0017】
フィンガージョイント法によりベルト端部を接合すると同時に逆T字型桟を接着するので、接合部の熱負荷を約半減できるので、接合強度は向上する。また、接合部が逆T字型桟により補強されるので、前記フィンガーの長さを短くしても必要な接合強度が得られる。フィンガーを短くすることにより、ベルト端部を裁断してフィンガーを成形し、このフィンガーを隙間無く突き合わせる作業は少ない工数で短時間で、また、非熟練者によっても容易に加工できる。また、フィンガー長さを逆T字型桟の底部の幅より短くすることにより、フィンガーの端部が逆T字型桟の底部でカバーされ、走行により剥離されることを抑制することができる。
【0018】
請求項5に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトの製造方法は、接合部裏面に裏側補強布の貼り付ける作業と、ベルト本体の接合作業および逆T字型桟の接着作業とを同時に行うことにより、接合、接着の工数の低減と接合部の熱劣化の抑制とを計ることができる。
【0019】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明に係る桟付樹脂ベルトとその製造方法について各実施の形態を図面を参考に説明する。図1は、本発明にかかる桟付樹脂ベルトの逆T字型桟(桟部材ともいう)を接着した接合部を表し、図1(a)は平面図を示し、図1(b)はA−A’断面図を示す。図1(b)に示すようにベルト本体3は、所定強度を有する帆布芯体5の上面にポリウレタン(PUともいう)、ポリ塩化ビニル(PVCともいう)などの弾性体であるカバー材4を積層している。図1(a)に示すようにベルト本体3のベルト端部は、幅w、ステップ長さw’である嵌め合わせ可能なフィンガー形状に裁断され、それぞれのフィンガー8’、8”が突き合わされ、ベルト本体3の接合部22を形成している。この接合部22の表面(搬送面をいう、図1(b)参照)に、ベルト本体3の幅に相当する長さを有し幅がWtであって断面が逆T字形である桟部材2の底部20を接着している。このように本発明の桟付樹脂ベルトでは、桟部材2の底部20の幅(Wt)が、接合部22のフィンガー8’,8”の長さw’より広く設計されている。
【0020】
接合手段、接着手段としては、図示しない上面が平面である下加圧盤と、下面に逆T字型桟2の上面に対応する金型を形成している上加圧盤とを備えた接合装置を用いる。成形された接合部22の上に桟部材2を重ねて、前記接合装置に装着して加熱・加圧して接合すると同時に桟部材2を接合部22に接着する。なお、接合装置の加熱手段としては、カバー材4の流れを抑制し、接合に必要な内部内部発熱させる高周波加熱手段を用いることが好ましい。また、この接合部22の接合強度を向上するために、図5に示すように接合部22の上面に底部補強布21を、下面に裏側補強布6を貼り付けて加圧・加熱することもある。なお、底部補強布21は、予め逆T字型桟2の底部20に貼り付けておくこともある。
【0021】
上記のフィンガー8’、8”の幅wと長さw’、桟部材2の底部20の幅(Wt)を変量し、裏側補強布または底部補強布の有無、カバー材4の材質を組み合わせて実施例、比較例を下記に示す。
【0022】
〔実施例1〕
ベルト本体3の構成は、図1(b)に示すように、厚さ0.3〜0.6mm、強度50〜200N/cmのポリエステル帆布に、厚さ0.2〜1.0mmのポリウレタンシートを積層して厚さ0.5〜1.5mmのベルト本体3を作成し、このベルト本体3の両端部をそれぞれ幅w=10mm、長さw’=10mmにフィンガー形状(フィンガー8,8”)に裁断し、このフィンガー8,8”を突き合わせて接合部22とする。この接合部22のベルト表面に底部幅Wtが20mmであるポリウレタン製の逆T字型桟の底部を重ねて、高周波加熱手段を備えた接合装置に挟み込み、圧力2〜10kgで加圧しながら、高周波を20〜60秒間発振して加熱して、熱融着により接合部22の接合と桟部材2の接着とを同時に行った(実施例1は、図1(b)に示す裏側補強布6は使用していない)。
【0023】
接合部22の破断強度の測定方法は、接合部22を中心としてベルト長さ方向に長い幅2.5cm、長さ30cmの短冊状の切り取り、アムスラー引張り試験機により引張り試験して接合強度(N/mm)を測定した(JIS−K6322)。上記接合条件と評価結果を表1に示す。なお、表1中の数値は上記の単位を使用している。
【0024】
〔実施例2〕
接合部22に裏側補強布6を貼り付けた(図1(b)参照)以外は実施例1と同様にして接合し、評価した。接合条件と評価結果を表1に示す。
【0025】
〔実施例3及び4〕
ステップ長さw’および桟部材の底部幅Wtを変更した以外は実施例1と同様にして接合し、評価した。接合条件と評価結果を表1に示す。
【0026】
〔実施例5〕
桟の材質をPVCとした以外は実施例1と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表1に示す。
【0027】
〔実施例6〕
桟部材の底部に底部補強布21(図5参照)を設けている以外は実施例1と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表1に示す。
【0028】
〔比較例1〕
桟部材を使用せず、接合時に使用する接合装置の上加圧盤として、下面が平面であるものを用いる以外は実施例1と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表2に示す。
【0029】
〔比較例2〕
桟部材を使用せず、接合時に使用する接合装置の上加圧盤として、下面が平面であるものを用いる以外は実施例2と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表2に示す。
【0030】
〔比較例3〕
桟部材を使用せず、接合時に使用する接合装置の上加圧盤として、下面が平面であるものを用いる以外は実施例3と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表2に示す。
【0031】
〔比較例4〕
桟部材を使用せず、接合時に使用する接合装置の上加圧盤として、下面が平面であるものを用いる以外は実施例5と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表2に示す。
【0032】
〔比較例5〕
桟部材を使用せず、接合時に使用する接合装置の上加圧盤として、下面が平面であるものを用いる以外は実施例6と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表2に示す。
【0033】
〔参考例1〕
フィンガーの形状を幅w=15mm、長さw’=80mmとした以外は、比較例1と同様にして接合し、評価し、接合条件と評価結果を表2に示す。
【0034】
このように長いフィンガーによる接合部の表面に桟部材2を接着すると、図6に示すように、フィンガーのステップが桟部材2の底部20の幅Wtより大きくなり、この桟部材2を加熱して接着すると、底部20に対応する接合部22の一部は2度加熱、溶融されることになり、接合強度が低下する問題がある。また、桟部材2の底部の幅Wtよりはみ出したフィンガー8’、8”の先端は、使用時に浮き上がり接合強度を弱くする原因になる恐れがある。
【0035】

以上の実施例、比較例および参考例を比較検討する。まず、桟部材を接合部に接着した効果について、実施例1と比較例1,実施例2と比較例2、実施例3と比較例3,実施例5と比較例4、実施例6と比較例5との対比により明らかなように、接合部破断強度は、桟部材を有する実施例は桟部材を有しない比較例に比して、12〜25N/mm(1.6〜2.2倍)大きくなる成果が得られている。なお、実施例4と参考例1との対比では、ほぼ同じ接合強度(53,65N/mm)であるにも係わらず、フィンガーのステップ長さ(w’)では大きな差(実施例=30mm、参考例1=80mm)があり、実施例4では成形作業が容易となる効果がある。
【0037】
ステップ長さによる差は、実施例1,実施例3,実施例4の比較でも見られるようにステップが長くなるに従って接合強度は大きくなり、また、実施例1と実施例2との比較により裏側補強布を貼り付けることにより、約5N/mm接合強度が大きくなり、実施例1と実施例6との比較により判るように桟部材に底部補強布を貼り付けることにより、約10N/mm接合部破断強度が大きくなることが見られる。
【0038】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したことから明らかなように、本発明の桟付樹脂ベルトおよびその製造方法には、次のような優れた効果がある。
【0039】
請求項1に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトでは、ベルト本体の接合部に重ねて逆T字型桟を接着することにより、逆T字型桟の底部が接合部の破断強度を補強する効果があり、必要な接合強度を実現するためには、従来のステップ長さを大幅に短くすることができ、フィンガー成形時間を大幅に短縮できる。更に、底部の幅をステップ長さより大きくすることにより、使用時にフィンガーの先端が浮き上がることを防止する効果がある。具体的には、ベルト本体の接合部に逆T字型桟を接着することにより、同じ長さのフィンガーでは接合強度が1.5倍を超え、同じ接合強度ではフィンガーは短くなり成形作業は簡単になる。
【0040】
請求項2または3に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトは、接合部裏面に裏側補強布を、または逆T字型桟の底部に底部補強布を貼り付けることにより接合強度は一層改善される。
【0041】
請求項4に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトの製造方法は、ベルト本体の接合と、桟部材の接着を同時に行うことにより、加工時間が短縮されるとともに、従来の繰り返し加熱された接合部が一回の加熱となり、接合部が熱劣化することが防止される。また、桟部材底部の幅がステップ長さより大きいので、接合部全体が均一に加熱され接合強度の低下を防止する。
【0042】
請求項5に記載の桟付樹脂ベルトの製造方法は、裏側補強布を接合時に同時に貼り付けるので、裏補強布接着のための特別の工数を必要としない効果がある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin belt provided with an inverted T-shaped crosspiece (also referred to as a crosspiece member) attached to a belt surface used for light weight / inclined conveyance or light weight / constant pitch conveyance, and both ends of the belt body. At the same time, the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for bonding a beam member.
[0002]
For example, as shown in a side view showing a use state in FIG. 2, the crosspiece resin belt according to the present invention has the crosspiece members 2 attached to the belt surface of the belt body 3 at predetermined intervals determined by the application, and the drive roller 12 is provided. And driven roller 13 to rotate in the direction of arrow y. The conveyed object 15 is supplied from the conveyed object supply position 30 for each crosspiece 2 and is sent out at the transfer destination position 31. This resin belt 1 with a crosspiece is preferably used when the conveyed articles 15 are conveyed at a constant pitch or when the conveyed article supply position 30 and the transfer destination position 31 have a considerable difference in height (inclined conveyor).
[0003]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a resin belt with a crosspiece forms a belt main body of a predetermined length, and the belt ends are joined according to the dimensions of individual conveying means (conveyors) to be used as an endless conveying belt of a predetermined length. Usually, a so-called lap joint method and a finger joint method are used for this joining method.
[0004]
In the wrapped joint method, as shown in a plan view of the joint in FIG. 3A and a sectional view of the joint in FIG. x) The tape is cut into a tapered shape, and the cut belt ends 3 ′ and 3 ″ are overlapped and joined. In the joining operation, the cover material 4 of the cut belt end 3 ′ is peeled off and removed from the core body 5, and a necessary adhesive is overlapped and laminated between both belt ends 3 ′ and 3 ′ for heat bonding ( For example, see Patent Document 1).
[0005]
In the finger joint method, as shown in a plan view of the joint portion in FIG. 4 (a) and a side view of the joint portion in FIG. 4 (b), a finger having such a shape that both ends of the belt body 3 can be fitted to each other. 8 ′, 8 ″, and the corresponding fingers 8 ′, 8 ″ are abutted, and the cover material 4 and the back side reinforcing cloth 6 are applied to one surface thereof and pressurized and heated to be joined (for example, see Patent Document 2) ). The joint may be perpendicular to the belt length direction or inclined. In the finger joint method, the step length w 'of the fingers 8' and 8 "is often increased in order to increase the joint breaking strength.
[0006]
On the other hand, the cross member is an inverted T-shaped cross bar as shown in FIG. 5 which is a cross-sectional view of the cross member 2 attached to the joint portion 22 in the belt length direction. 4 is adhered to the surface. The beam member 2 is attached in a direction (width direction) whose length direction is perpendicular to the belt length direction (arrow x). The crosspiece 2 is formed mainly of an elastic body such as polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride.
[0007]
In the wrapped joint method, a step (difference in thickness) is likely to occur between a joint portion and a portion other than the joint portion, and the joint is inclined with respect to the belt length direction (see FIG. 3A). 2 is usually attached perpendicular to the belt length direction (see FIG. 1 (a)), so it becomes difficult to strongly attach the inverted T-shaped crosspiece to the joint due to the step. In addition, a welder or a hot press is often used to join the belt ends 3 ′ and 3 ″ or to bond the beam member 2 to the belt body 3. If the bonding to the belt body 3 is performed at the same location, the thermal load at the joint may be approximately doubled and the joint breaking strength (also referred to as joint strength) may be reduced. A crosspiece is attached.
[0008]
Furthermore, cutting the belt ends 3 ′, 3 ″ into a long-step finger shape requires a high level of skill and requires a long time.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention greatly reduces the step length (refers to the length of the finger (corrugated) portion of the finger joint) when the end of the belt body is joined by a finger joint method to form an endless resin belt with a crosspiece. A resin belt with a crosspiece that facilitates the joining work, adheres the inverted T-shaped crossbar while ensuring the necessary bonding strength, and does not peel off the end of the finger even after long-term use. The aim is to provide a method.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the resin belt with a crosspiece according to claim 1, both ends of the belt body are finger-joined, and a plurality of inverted T-shaped crossbars are provided on the belt surface including the finger-joined joint. A bottom of the inverted T-shaped bar is bonded to the belt surface of the finger-joined joint, and the width of the bottom is adjusted by the step of the finger-joined joint. It is characterized by being wider than the length.
[0012]
By bonding an inverted T-shaped bar having a bottom width larger than the length of the step to the finger-joined joint (also simply referred to as a joint), the end of the finger is fixed at the bottom of the inverted T-shaped bar. When covered and used as a transport belt, the ends of the fingers do not come into contact with the transported object or the like and do not peel off even after long-term use.
[0013]
The bottom portion of the inverted T-shaped bar functions as a reinforcing member by bonding to the joint portion of the belt body, so that the necessary joint breaking strength can be secured even if the length of the finger is short. In other words, the joints where the finger joints are formed have cores cut and the heat history is large, so that the strength is usually lower than the parts other than the joints. However, the joints are reinforced by the bottom of the inverted T-shaped bar. Even if the finger joint is performed in a short step, the required joining strength can be obtained. The necessary joining strength is designed according to the designed conditions for carrying the resin belt with crosspieces (such as the carrying distance, speed, and inclination).
[0014]
The crosspiece resin belt according to claim 2 is characterized in that a reinforcing cloth is attached to the back surface of the finger joint portion. By attaching a thin reinforcing cloth such as canvas to the back surface of the joint, the strength of the joint is further enhanced.
[0015]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a resin belt with a crosspiece, wherein a bottom reinforcing cloth is attached to a bottom adhesive surface of the inverted T-shaped crosspiece. By attaching the bottom reinforcing cloth to the bottom of the inverted T-shaped crosspiece mainly composed of an elastic body, the tension applied to the belt joint can be borne by the bottom reinforcing cloth to further improve the bonding strength. .
[0016]

Both ends of the belt body 3 are formed into a finger shape (finger 8, 8 ″) having a width w = 10 mm and a length w ′ = 10 mm, respectively. ), And these fingers 8, 8 ″ are joined to form a joint 22. The bottom of a reverse T-shaped crosspiece made of polyurethane having a bottom width Wt of 20 mm is overlapped on the belt surface of the joining portion 22 and sandwiched by a joining device equipped with high-frequency heating means. Was oscillated and heated for 20 to 60 seconds, and the joining of the joining portion 22 and the bonding of the crosspiece member 2 were simultaneously performed by thermal fusion (in Example 1, the back-side reinforcing cloth 6 shown in FIG. Not used).
[0023]
The method of measuring the breaking strength of the joint 22 is as follows. A strip having a width of 2.5 cm and a length of 30 cm long in the belt length direction centered on the joint 22 is subjected to a tensile test using an Amsler tensile tester to measure the joint strength (N / Mm) was measured (JIS-K6322). Table 1 shows the above joining conditions and evaluation results. The numerical values in Table 1 use the above units.

[0026]
[Example 5]
Bonding and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the material of the crosspiece was PVC, and the bonding conditions and evaluation results are shown in Table 1.
[0027]
[Example 6]
Joining and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the bottom reinforcing cloth 21 (see FIG. 5) was provided at the bottom of the crosspiece member. Table 1 shows the joining conditions and the evaluation results.
[0028]
[Comparative Example 1]
Joining and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Example 1 except that a bar member was not used, and an upper pressing plate having a flat lower surface was used as an upper pressing plate of a joining device used at the time of joining. Table 2 shows joining conditions and evaluation results. Shown in
[0029]
[Comparative Example 2]
Table 2 shows the joining conditions and the evaluation results, except that the cross member was not used, and the joining device was used in the same manner as in Example 2 except that the lower surface of the joining device used at the time of joining was flat. Shown in
[0030]
[Comparative Example 3]
Joining and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Example 3 except that a bar member was not used and an upper pressing plate having a flat lower surface was used as an upper pressing plate of a joining device used at the time of joining. Table 2 shows joining conditions and evaluation results. Shown in
[0031]
[Comparative Example 4]
Joining and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Example 5 except that a bar member was not used, and an upper pressing plate having a flat lower surface was used as an upper pressing plate of a joining device used at the time of joining. Table 2 shows joining conditions and evaluation results. Shown in
[0032]
[Comparative Example 5]
Joining and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Example 6 except that the upper pressing plate having a flat lower surface was used as the upper pressing plate of the joining device used at the time of joining without using the cross member, and the joining conditions and the evaluation results were shown in Table 2. Shown in
[0033]
[Reference Example 1]
Bonding and evaluation were performed in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1 except that the finger shape was set to a width w = 15 mm and a length w ′ = 80 mm, and the bonding conditions and evaluation results are shown in Table 2.
[0034]
When the bar member 2 is bonded to the surface of the joint with the long fingers, the step of the finger becomes larger than the width Wt of the bottom portion 20 of the bar member 2 as shown in FIG. When bonded, a part of the bonding portion 22 corresponding to the bottom portion 20 is heated and melted twice, and there is a problem that the bonding strength is reduced. Also, the tips of the fingers 8 ′ and 8 ″ protruding beyond the width Wt of the bottom of the crosspiece 2 may rise during use and cause a reduction in bonding strength.

Figure 2004331367
The above examples, comparative examples and reference examples will be compared and studied. First, with respect to the effect of bonding the cross member to the joint, the effects of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 2, Example 3 and Comparative Example 3, Example 5 and Comparative Example 4, and Example 6 were compared. As is clear from comparison with Example 5, the joint breaking strength was 12 to 25 N / mm (1.6 to 2.2 times) in the example having the cross member compared to the comparative example having no cross member. ) Greater results have been obtained. In addition, in comparison between Example 4 and Reference Example 1, although the bonding strength was almost the same (53, 65 N / mm), there was a large difference in the step length (w ′) of the finger (Example = 30 mm, Reference Example 1 = 80 mm), and Example 4 has the effect of facilitating the molding operation.
[0037]
As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1, Example 3, and Example 4, the difference due to the step length increases the bonding strength as the step lengthens. By attaching the reinforcing cloth, the joining strength is increased by about 5 N / mm. As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Example 6, by attaching the bottom reinforcing cloth to the cross member, the joining strength is increased by about 10 N / mm. It can be seen that the breaking strength increases.

【The invention's effect】
As apparent from the above description, the resin belt with crosspiece and the method of manufacturing the same according to the present invention have the following excellent effects.
[0039]
In the resin belt with a crosspiece according to claim 1, the bottom of the reverse T-shaped crosspiece has an effect of reinforcing the breaking strength of the joint portion by bonding the inverted T-shaped crosspiece on the joint portion of the belt body, In order to achieve the required bonding strength, the conventional step length can be greatly reduced, and the finger molding time can be significantly reduced. Further, by making the width of the bottom portion larger than the step length, there is an effect of preventing the tip of the finger from floating during use. Specifically, by bonding an inverted T-shaped crosspiece to the joint of the belt body, the joint strength exceeds 1.5 times for fingers of the same length, and the fingers are shorter for the same joint strength, making molding work easier. become.
[0040]
In the resin belt with a crosspiece according to the second or third aspect, the bonding strength is further improved by attaching a backside reinforcing cloth to the back surface of the joint or a bottom reinforcing cloth to the bottom of the inverted T-shaped crosspiece.
[0041]
In the method for manufacturing a resin belt with a crosspiece according to the fourth aspect, by simultaneously performing the joining of the belt body and the bonding of the crosspiece member, the processing time is shortened, and the conventional repeatedly heated joint portion is formed once. Heating is performed, and the joint is prevented from being thermally degraded. Further, since the width of the bottom of the crosspiece member is larger than the step length, the entire joint is heated uniformly, thereby preventing a decrease in joint strength.
[0042]
According to the method of manufacturing a resin belt with a crosspiece according to the fifth aspect, since the back side reinforcing cloth is simultaneously attached at the time of joining, there is an effect that no special man-hour for bonding the back side reinforcing cloth is required.
