Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vulcanizing mold for a laminated rubber structure and a manufacturing method of the laminated rubber structure which does not cause a position gap of respective intermediate plates in the direction perpendicular to the laminating direction and do not change an interval between the intermediate plates by a flow of an unvulcanized rubber member due to the pressurization of the vulcanizing mold. <P>SOLUTION: Since an upper shaft 14 and a lower shaft 15 are inserted into through-holes 30a and 31a of the intermediate plates 30 and 31 respectively, each of the intermediate plates 30 and 31 does not cause the position gap in the direction perpendicular to the laminating direction. Since the intermediate plates 30 and 31 are prevented from moving to the outside of securing positions where the through-holes 30a and 31a are secured to tapered portions 14a and 15a in the laminating direction respectively, even when force in the laminating direction is added to each of the intermediate plates 30 and 31 by the unvulcanized rubber member 20 flowing due to pressurization of the vulcanizing mold 10, each of the intermediate plates 30 and 31 does not cause the position gap in the laminating direction or deformation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a vulcanization mold for a laminated rubber structure used for supporting a structure such as a bridge or a building, and a method for producing the laminated rubber structure.

Generally, this type of laminated rubber structure is molded by alternately laminating a plurality of unvulcanized rubber members and intermediate plates in a vulcanizing mold in the vertical direction. In addition, if each intermediate plate is displaced in the horizontal direction in the vulcanizing mold, the intermediate plates are displaced in the horizontal direction, thereby reducing the seismic isolation performance such as vertical rigidity and horizontal rigidity. Since the intermediate plate is exposed from the vulcanized rubber and is not preferable in appearance, a positioning hole is provided in each intermediate plate and a positioning shaft formed so as to extend in the vertical direction is inserted into each intermediate plate. It is known that the plate is not displaced in the horizontal direction (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  By the way, in the said manufacturing method, when each unvulcanized rubber member and each intermediate board are arrange | positioned in a vulcanization metal mold | die and a vulcanization metal mold | die is pressurized from the upper direction, the unvulcanized | cured material in a vulcanization metal mold | die. Since the rubber member flows from the inner side to the outer side in the horizontal direction and flows upward or downward in the outer side in the horizontal direction, a large force is applied to the intermediate plate in the upward or downward direction. Deformation of the plate occurs. For this reason, there is a problem in that the vertical interval between the intermediate plates is not a predetermined interval, which is not preferable in appearance.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the object of the present invention is that each intermediate plate is not displaced in the direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, and the pressurization of the vulcanizing mold is performed. Another object of the present invention is to provide a vulcanization mold for a laminated rubber structure and a method for producing the laminated rubber structure in which the interval in the lamination direction of each intermediate plate does not change due to the flow of the unvulcanized rubber member.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention manufactures a laminated rubber structure in which a plurality of unvulcanized rubber members and intermediate plates are alternately laminated, and end face plates are arranged at both ends in the laminating direction and vulcanized and molded. The vulcanizing mold used in the present invention includes a pair of positioning shafts that can be inserted from the one and the other in the stacking direction into the positioning holes that are respectively provided in the intermediate plates and arranged in the stacking direction, and at least one of the positioning shafts. The outer shape is gradually reduced from the outer side in the stacking direction toward the inner side in the stacking direction.

  Thereby, since the positioning shaft is inserted into each positioning hole from one side and the other in the laminating direction, each intermediate plate is not displaced in the direction orthogonal to the laminating direction. In addition, each positioning shaft is formed so that the outer shape gradually decreases from the outer side in the stacking direction toward the inner side in the stacking direction. By positioning in the vulcanization mold so as to be arranged in order from the largest of each, each positioning hole is locked to the outer portion of the positioning shaft having an outer shape equivalent to the inner shape from the inside in the stacking direction, Each intermediate plate is restricted from moving outward in the stacking direction from the locking position where the positioning hole locks with the positioning shaft.

The outer shape is formed to be small.

  Thereby, since the positioning shaft is inserted into each positioning hole from one side in the stacking direction, each intermediate plate does not shift in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. In addition, since the positioning shaft is formed so that the outer shape gradually decreases from one side to the other in the stacking direction, each intermediate plate has a positioning hole in order from the one with the larger inner shape from one side to the other in the stacking direction. By arranging in the vulcanizing mold so that they are arranged, each positioning hole is locked from one side in the stacking direction to the outer part of the positioning shaft having the same outer shape as the inner shape, and each intermediate plate is positioned The movement of the hole in the other direction in the stacking direction is restricted from the locking position where the hole is locked with the positioning shaft.

  Further, the present invention provides a vulcanizing material for use in the production of a laminated rubber structure in which a plurality of unvulcanized rubber members and intermediate plates are alternately laminated, and end face plates are respectively arranged at both ends in the laminating direction and vulcanized and molded. The mold includes a positioning shaft that is provided in each intermediate plate and can be inserted into the positioning holes arranged in the stacking direction in the stacking direction, and at least a part of the intermediate plate is engaged with the positioning shaft from only one in the stacking direction. The latching | locking part which can be stopped is provided.

  Thereby, since the positioning shaft passes through each positioning hole in the stacking direction, each intermediate plate does not shift in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. In addition, since the positioning shaft is provided with a locking portion that can be locked to only at least one of the intermediate plates from one side in the stacking direction, the locking portion of the positioning shaft is at least part of the intermediate plate. By disposing each intermediate plate in the vulcanizing mold so as to be locked to the intermediate plate, the movement of the intermediate plate locked by the positioning shaft in one of the stacking directions from the locking position is restricted. Further, since the flow state of the unvulcanized rubber member in the vulcanizing mold is changed by restricting the movement of some of the intermediate plates in the laminating direction, the intermediate plate is not laminated by the positioning shaft. Movement in the direction is also suppressed.

  In addition, the present invention provides a laminated rubber structure by alternately laminating a plurality of unvulcanized rubber members and intermediate plates, and arranging end face plates at both ends in the laminating direction and vulcanizing them in a vulcanizing mold. In the method for manufacturing a laminated rubber structure for molding a body, the positioning holes provided in each of the intermediate plates and arranged in the laminating direction are formed so as to be respectively insertable from one and the other in the laminating direction, and at least a part thereof Each intermediate plate has a positioning hole from the outer side in the stacking direction to the inner side in the stacking direction in a vulcanizing mold having a pair of positioning shafts formed so that the outer shape gradually decreases from the outer side in the stacking direction toward the inner side in the stacking direction. Are arranged so as to be arranged in order from the largest inner shape toward the surface, and vulcanized.

  Thereby, since the positioning shaft is inserted into each positioning hole from one side and the other in the stacking direction, each intermediate plate does not shift in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. In addition, each positioning hole is sequentially arranged from the inner side in the stacking direction to the inner side in the stacking direction, and the outer shape of each positioning shaft gradually decreases from the outer side in the stacking direction toward the inner side in the stacking direction. Each positioning hole is locked from the inside in the stacking direction to the outer shape of the positioning shaft having the same outer shape as the inner shape, and each intermediate plate is locked so that the positioning hole is locked to the positioning shaft. Movement outside the stacking direction from the position is restricted.

  In addition, the present invention provides a laminated rubber structure by alternately laminating a plurality of unvulcanized rubber members and intermediate plates, and arranging end face plates at both ends in the laminating direction and vulcanizing them in a vulcanizing mold. In the manufacturing method of a laminated rubber structure for molding a body, the positioning holes provided in each of the intermediate plates and arranged in the laminating direction are formed so as to be able to be inserted from one side in the laminating direction, and at least a part of the laminating direction is one side Each intermediate plate has a positioning hole with a large inner shape from one side to the other in the laminating direction in a vulcanizing mold having a positioning shaft formed so that the outer shape gradually decreases from one to the other. They are arranged so as to be sequentially arranged and vulcanized.

  Thereby, since the positioning shaft is inserted into each positioning hole from one side in the stacking direction, each intermediate plate does not shift in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. In addition, each positioning hole is sequentially arranged from one having a large inner shape from one side to the other in the stacking direction, and the positioning shaft is formed so that the outer shape gradually decreases from one to the other in the stacking direction. Each positioning hole is locked from one side in the stacking direction to the outer shape of the positioning shaft having the same outer shape as its inner shape, and each intermediate plate is positioned in the stacking direction from the locking position where the positioning hole is locked to the positioning shaft. Movement to the other is restricted respectively.

  In addition, the present invention provides a laminated rubber structure by alternately laminating a plurality of unvulcanized rubber members and intermediate plates, and arranging end face plates at both ends in the laminating direction and vulcanizing them in a vulcanizing mold. In the method for manufacturing a laminated rubber structure for molding a body, the intermediate rubber plates are formed so as to be inserted in positioning layers provided in the respective intermediate plates and arranged in the stacking direction, and are stacked on at least some of the intermediate plates. Each intermediate plate is placed in a vulcanization mold having a positioning shaft having a locking portion that can be locked only from one direction so that the locking portion of the positioning shaft is locked to at least a portion of the intermediate plate. It is arranged and vulcanized.

  Thereby, since the positioning shaft passes through each positioning hole in the stacking direction, each intermediate plate does not shift in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. Further, since the positioning shaft is provided with a locking portion that can be locked to at least a part of the intermediate plate from only one side in the stacking direction, the intermediate plate locked by the positioning shaft is positioned in the stacking direction more than the locking position. Movement to one side is restricted. Further, since the flow state of the unvulcanized rubber member in the vulcanizing mold is changed by restricting the movement of some of the intermediate plates in the laminating direction, the intermediate plate is not laminated by the positioning shaft. Movement in the direction is also suppressed.

  According to the present invention, each intermediate plate is not displaced in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction, and the intermediate plate that is locked to the positioning shaft is moved in a predetermined stacking direction from the locking position. Since the regulation is restricted, even if a force in the stacking direction is applied to the intermediate plate due to the flow of the unvulcanized rubber member accompanying the pressurization of the vulcanizing mold, each intermediate plate may be displaced or deformed in the stacking direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the interval between the intermediate plates in the stacking direction from being changed by the flow of the unvulcanized rubber member. That is, it is extremely advantageous in that the intermediate plate can be vulcanized and molded so that the interval in the stacking direction is always a predetermined interval, and a desired appearance can be obtained with certainty.

It is formed on the inner diameter. Further, an adhesive for vulcanizing and bonding the unvulcanized rubber member 20 is applied to the upper surface and the lower surface of each second intermediate plate 31.

  The lower end face plate 32 is made of a steel material, is formed in a rectangular plate shape thicker than the intermediate plates 30 and 31, and is provided with screw holes 32a penetrating in the vertical direction in the vicinity of the four corners. Each screw hole 32 a is provided at a position corresponding to each through hole 30 a of the first intermediate plate 30, and an adhesive for vulcanizing and bonding the unvulcanized rubber member 20 to the upper surface side of the lower end face plate 32. The agent is applied.

  The upper end face plate 33 is made of a steel material, is formed in a rectangular plate shape thicker than the intermediate plates 30 and 31, and is provided with through holes 33a penetrating in the vertical direction in the vicinity of the four corners.

Is applied.

  Here, the manufacturing method of the laminated rubber structure of this embodiment is demonstrated. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the lower shaft 15 is screwed into each screw hole 32 a of the lower end face plate 32, and the lower end face plate 32 is placed on the lower die 11 to which the middle die 13 is attached. Next, the second intermediate plate 31 is disposed between the first intermediate plates 30, and the unvulcanized rubber member 20 is disposed on the upper surface side and the lower surface side of each first intermediate plate 30. , 31 and each unvulcanized rubber member 20 are placed in a vulcanizing mold 10. At this time, each lower shaft 15 is inserted through each through hole 30a, 31a, 20a. Subsequently, the upper end face plate 33 is placed on the upper surface, and the upper shafts 14 are inserted into the respective through holes 33a of the upper end face plate 33 from above so that the upper shafts 14 are inserted into the positioning holes 12c. The upper mold 12 is placed.

  In this state, when the vulcanizing mold 10 is heated while being pressurized from above by a vulcanizing press (not shown), the unvulcanized rubber member 20 flows from the inner side to the outer side in the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. Flows upward or downward on the outside in the direction.

  Here, since the upper shaft 14 and the lower shaft 15 are inserted into the through holes 30a and 31a of the intermediate plates 30 and 31, respectively, the intermediate plates 30 and 31 are positioned in a direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. There will be no deviation.

  In addition, each through hole 30a of each first intermediate plate 30 is formed to have an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the substantially central portion in the vertical direction of the tapered portions 14a and 15a of the shafts 14 and 15, and each through hole of the second intermediate plate 31 is formed. Since the hole 31a is formed to have an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the tip of the tapered portions 14a, 15a of the shafts 14, 15, the through holes 30a, 31a of the intermediate plates 30, 31 are formed of the tapered portions 14a, 15a. And the movement to the outside in the stacking direction is restricted from the locking position for locking in the stacking direction.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4, after pressurizing and heating for a predetermined time, the lower mold 11, the upper mold 12 and the middle mold 13 are moved away from each other, and each upper shaft 14 is pulled out and lowered. The laminated rubber structure is released by pulling the side shaft 15 downward. At this time, since each lower shaft 15 is detachably screwed to the lower end face plate 32, each lower shaft 15 does not fall when the lower mold 11 is separated from the laminated rubber structure, and each lower shaft 15 does not fall. It becomes easy to pull out the side shaft 15. In the laminated rubber structure manufactured in this way, a plurality of holes whose inner diameters gradually decrease from the outer side in the laminating direction toward the inner side in the laminating direction are formed inside.

In addition, it is possible to prevent the interval between the intermediate plates 30 and 31 in the stacking direction from being changed by the flow of the unvulcanized rubber member 20. That is, it is extremely advantageous in that the intermediate plates 30 and 31 can be vulcanized and molded so that the interval in the stacking direction is always a predetermined interval, and a desired appearance can be obtained with certainty.

  Furthermore, since each lower shaft 15 is detachably screwed to the lower end face plate 32, each lower shaft 15 can be prevented from dropping when the laminated rubber structure is released from the lower mold 11, The release operation of the laminated rubber structure can be performed easily and reliably.

  Further, since the through holes 30a and 31a are provided in the vicinity of the four corners of the intermediate plates 30 and 31, the intermediate plates 30 and 31 that are likely to be displaced or deformed in the stacking direction due to the flow of the unvulcanized rubber member 20. The movement of the four corners of the intermediate plates 30 and 31 can be restricted, which is extremely advantageous in maintaining the intervals in the stacking direction of the intermediate plates 30 and 31 at predetermined intervals.

  In the present embodiment, the through holes 30a and 31a are formed in a circular shape and the shafts 14 and 15 are formed in a cylindrical shape. However, the through holes 30a and 31a are formed in a polygonal shape. In addition, the shafts 14 and 15 may be formed in a polygonal column shape that can be inserted through the through holes 30a and 31a.

Further, each through hole 52 a of the third intermediate plate 52 is formed with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter on the upper end side of the tapered portion 42 a of the shaft 42. Further, an adhesive for vulcanizing and bonding to the unvulcanized rubber member 20 is applied to the upper surface and the lower surface of each intermediate plate 50, 51, 52.

  The lower end face plate 53 is made of a steel material, is formed in a rectangular plate shape thicker than the intermediate plates 50, 51, 52, and has through holes 53a penetrating vertically in the vicinity of the four corners. . Each through hole 53 a is provided at a position corresponding to each through hole 50 a of the first intermediate plate 50, and an adhesive for vulcanizing and bonding the unvulcanized rubber member 20 to the upper surface side of the lower end face plate 53. The agent is applied.

  Here, the manufacturing method of the laminated rubber structure of the present embodiment vulcanizes each unvulcanized rubber member 20, each intermediate plate 50, 51, 52 and each end face plate 33, 53 as in the first embodiment. While arrange | positioning in the metal mold | die 40, after inserting the shaft 42 from upper direction in each through-hole 33a of the upper side end surface plate 33, the upper mold | type 12 is mounted.

  In this state, when the vulcanizing mold 40 is heated while being pressurized from above by a vulcanizing press (not shown), the unvulcanized rubber member 20 flows from the horizontal inner side to the outer side as shown in FIG. Flows upward on the outside in the direction.

  Here, since the shafts 42 are inserted into the through holes 50a, 51a, 52a of the intermediate plates 50, 51, 52, the intermediate plates 50, 51, 52 are positioned in a direction orthogonal to the stacking direction. There will be no deviation.

  Each through hole 50a of the first intermediate plate 50 is formed to have an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter on the lower end side of the tapered portion 42a of the shaft 42, and each through hole 51a of the second intermediate plate 51 is formed of the tapered portion of the shaft 42. 42a is formed with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the substantially central portion in the vertical direction, and each through hole 52a of the third intermediate plate 52 is formed with an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter on the upper end side of the tapered portion 42a of the shaft 42.

Further, a spring 61d as an urging member is attached to the lower end portion side of each locking member 61a, and the locking member 61a is urged radially outward of the shaft 61 by the spring 61d. That is, when the shaft 61 is inserted into a through-hole 70a of the intermediate plate 70 described later from below, the locking member 61a engages with the through-hole 70a, thereby resisting the biasing force of the spring 61d and moving the shaft 61 radially inward. Rotate, immerse in the recessed portion 61b and pass through the through hole 70a. Further, after passing through the through hole 70a, the locking member 61a is rotated radially outward of the shaft 61 by the urging force of the spring 61d, and the locking member 61a protrudes out of the concave portion 61b to be on the upper surface of the intermediate plate 70. It is designed to be locked.

  Each intermediate plate 70 is made of a steel material and is formed in a rectangular plate shape. Further, through holes 70 a as positioning holes penetrating in the vertical direction are provided in the vicinity of the four corners of the intermediate plate 70, and the through holes 70 a are formed with an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the shaft 61.

  Here, the manufacturing method of the laminated rubber structure of the present embodiment is similar to the second embodiment in that each of the unvulcanized rubber member 20, the intermediate plate 70, and the through holes 70 a and 33 a of the end face plates 33 and 53. 53a, the shaft 61 is inserted from below and placed in the vulcanizing mold 60, and then the upper mold 12 is placed.

  In this state, when the vulcanizing mold 60 is heated while being pressurized from above by a vulcanizing press (not shown), the unvulcanized rubber member 20 flows from the horizontal inner side to the outer side as shown in FIG. Flows upward on the outside in the direction.

  Here, since the shaft 61 is inserted in each through hole 70a of each intermediate plate 70, each intermediate plate 70 is not displaced in the direction orthogonal to the stacking direction.

  Further, since each locking member 61a of each shaft 61 is locked to the upper surface of each intermediate plate 70 in the vicinity of each through hole 70a, the intermediate plate 70 locked to the locking member 61a is in its locked position. The upward movement is restricted. Further, when the shaft 61 is extracted upward after vulcanization molding, each locking member 61a engages with each of the through holes 70a and 33a and rotates inward in the radial direction of the shaft 61. Can be easily removed from the laminated rubber structure after vulcanization molding.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, since some of the intermediate plates 70 are restricted from moving upward by the locking members 61 a of the shafts 61, the intermediate plates 70 flow by pressurization of the vulcanizing mold 60. Even when an upward force is applied to each intermediate plate 70 by the unvulcanized rubber member 20, the intermediate plate 70 that is locked by each locking member 61a is not displaced or deformed in the stacking direction. Further, by restricting the displacement and deformation of some intermediate plates 70 in the stacking direction, the flow state of the unvulcanized rubber member 20 in the vulcanizing mold 60 changes, and the other intermediate plates 70 are changed. It is possible to suppress displacement and deformation in the stacking direction. That is, it is extremely advantageous in that the intermediate plate 70 can be vulcanized and molded so that the interval in the stacking direction is always a predetermined interval, and a desired appearance can be obtained with certainty.

  In this embodiment, the shaft 61 is provided with the locking member 61a urged radially outward by the spring 61d. However, the upper end is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 61 and the lower end. Protrudes outward in the radial direction of the shaft 61, and when the shaft 61 is inserted into the through hole 70 a from below, a lower end portion is elastically deformed radially inward of the shaft 61 and a locking member for locking to the upper surface of the intermediate plate 70 is provided. It is also possible.
