Description

  The present invention relates to a synthetic resin spring, and more particularly, to a synthetic resin spring molded from a synthetic resin.

  Synthetic resin springs have superior corrosion resistance and electrical insulation properties compared to metal springs, and are disposed of separately when used in a synthetic resin container. Since it has the property that it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively by injection molding, it has been widely used in various applications.

As this synthetic resin spring, for example, a synthetic resin coil spring as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-73138 has been proposed. The proposed synthetic resin coil spring will be described with reference to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the synthetic resin coil spring 10, a plurality of spring coils 11a, 11b, and 11c having the same length, the same spiral direction, the same diameter, and the same pitch are combined with each other in a spiral state. Rings 12a and 12b are formed at both upper and lower ends of the spring coils 11a, 11b and 11c. The spring coils 11a, 11b, 11c and the rings 12a, 12b are integrally formed by means such as injection molding.

Since the spring coils 11a, 11b, and 11c are formed with the same length, the same spiral direction, the same diameter, and the same pitch, the lead angle θ of the spring coils 11a, 11b, and 11c (spring coils 11a, 11b, and 11c). As shown in FIG. 10, the angle formed between the axis 12 and the horizontal plane is formed at a constant angle from the ring 12a to the ring 12b.
FIG. 10 is a plan view of one of the spring coils, in which the horizontal axis represents the central angle φ, and the vertical axis represents the height (distance) of the spring coil.

  In the coil spring 10 made of synthetic resin, as shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of spring coils 11a, 11b, and 11c are combined with each other in a spiral state, so that a mold for injection molding is complicated. However, there was a problem that it could not be manufactured at low cost. Incidentally, when this synthetic resin coil spring 10 is manufactured by injection molding, it is necessary to use a die that is divided into at least about six parts.

On the other hand, a resin coil spring that can be molded using a two-part mold is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-13569. The resin coil spring will be described with reference to FIG. The resin coil spring 20 includes a base portion 21 and a coil spring-like spring portion 22 extending from the base portion 21, and a resin injection portion (gate) 23 is provided in the base portion 21.
The resin coil spring 20 is formed on the lower surface of the valve body 25, and the valve body 25 and the resin coil spring 20 are accommodated inside the coating tip portion 24.

The resin coil spring 20 is molded by an injection molding method using a mold (split mold) that opens and closes in the two directions perpendicular to the axis of the spring portion 22 over the entire length of the spring portion 22. .
The coil spring-like spring part 22 is perpendicular to the axis of the spring part 20 so that it is continuous with the hatched part 22b of the spring part 20 at the position P-P of the die dividing surface (parting). A horizontal portion 22a in the direction is provided. That is, the horizontal shape portion 22a is formed to suppress the shift of the oblique shape portion 22b of the spring portion 22 on the mold dividing surface (parting line) PP.
JP-A-10-73138

By the way, in the synthetic resin coil spring shown in Patent Document 2, a mold (split mold) that opens and closes in two directions at right angles to the axis of the spring part is molded by an injection molding method. Therefore, it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.
However, since a horizontal shape portion is formed in the spring portion on the mold dividing surface (parting line), the lead angle θ of the spring portion (the angle formed between the tangent to the axis of the spring portion and the horizontal plane) is As shown in FIG. 12, there is a portion that is formed at a constant angle from the lower side to the upper end, and the lead angle θ is 0 degree (horizontal) on the mold dividing surface (parting line). To do. Since the portion where the lead angle θ is 0 degree, that is, the horizontal shape portion 22a of the spring portion 20 does not contribute to compression and tension at all, the formation of the horizontal shape portion impairs the function as a coil spring, which is not so preferable. It was not a thing.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above technical problem, and the spiral spring portion has as few portions as possible that do not act on compression and tension, and can be manufactured with a two-part mold. An object of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin spring.

  The synthetic resin spring according to the present invention made to achieve the above object comprises a spiral spring portion formed on the lower end ring portion, and an upper end ring portion formed on the upper end of the spring portion, These parts are cylindrical synthetic resin springs integrally formed of synthetic resin, and in a state where the spring part is developed on a plane, the axis of the spring part is composed of at least a plurality of curves, The curve is characterized in that the lead angle is 0 degree at the intersection with the parting line.

  As described above, since the curve constituting the axis of the spring portion is composed of at least a plurality of curves, the curve is a curve having a lead angle of 0 degrees at the intersection with the parting line. The portion that does not act against compression or tension can be reduced as much as possible, and the whole effectively functions as a spring. Note that the axis of the spring portion may include a straight portion in a part thereof.

Here, the curve that constitutes the axis of the spring part and the parting line intersect at an interval of a central angle of 180 degrees, and the intersection of the curve that constitutes the axis of the spring part and the parting line constitutes the axis of the spring part It is desirable that the connecting points intersect with each other.
In this way, the curve that forms the axis of the spring portion and the parting line intersect with a center angle of 180 degrees, and the lead angle of 0 degree (curve connection point) is the mold parting line. Therefore, this synthetic resin spring can be formed by a two-part mold, and can be manufactured at low cost and efficiently.

  The synthetic resin spring according to the present invention made to achieve the above object includes a lower first spring portion and a lower second spring portion formed on a lower end ring portion, and the lower first spring portion and the lower second spring portion. An intermediate ring portion formed at the upper end of the spring portion, an upper first spring portion and an upper second spring portion formed on the intermediate ring portion, and upper ends of the upper first spring portion and the upper second spring portion. A synthetic resin spring having at least an upper end ring portion formed, and these portions are integrally formed of synthetic resin, the lower first spring portion, the lower second spring portion, the upper first spring portion, the upper portion In the state where each spring part of the second spring part is developed in a plane, the axis of each spring part is composed of at least a plurality of curves, Is characterized in that in the intersection of the parting line is a curve lead angle is 0 degrees.

  Thus, since the curve constituting the axis of each spring part is a curve with a lead angle of 0 degrees at the intersection with the parting line, the part of the spring part that does not act on compression or tension is minimized. The whole function effectively as a spring. Note that the axis of the spring portion may include a straight line portion.

  Here, starting from the point at which the lower first spring part is connected to the lower ring part, the lower first ring part is spirally formed to a position with a substantially central angle of 180 degrees, and the upper first spring part is in the middle A spiral shape in a direction different from the spiral direction of the lower first spring part from the central angle that is the end point position of the lower first spring part through the ring part to the central angle of 0 degree that is the start point of the lower first spring part And the lower second spring portion is spirally formed in the same direction as the lower first spring portion from a position with a substantially central angle of 180 degrees to a position with a substantially central angle of 360 degrees. The spiral of the lower second spring part is passed through the intermediate ring part from the central angle that is the end point position of the lower second spring part to the position of the approximate central angle of 180 degrees that is the starting point of the lower second spring part. A lower end of the lower first spring portion and a lower end of the lower second spring portion, a lower end of the lower first spring portion and an upper end of the lower second spring portion, and the upper portion. The upper end portion of the first spring portion and the lower end portion of the upper second spring portion, and the lower end portion of the upper first spring portion and the upper end portion of the upper second spring portion are formed so as not to overlap when compressed. Is desirable.

Since it is comprised in this way, as if one spring part is formed by the lower 1st spring part and the upper 1st spring part. In addition, the spring portion is formed in a spiral shape in the range of the central angle of 0 degrees to the central angle of 180 degrees.
Similarly, the lower second spring portion and the upper second spring portion form a single spring portion, and this spring portion is spirally formed with a substantially central angle of 180 degrees to a substantially central angle of 360 degrees (central angle of 0 degrees). It is formed in the range.
Therefore, in the synthetic resin spring according to the present invention, the two spiral spring portions are formed without entering each other in the spiral of the other spring portion. As a result, a mold for injection molding can be simplified, and a synthetic resin spring can be manufactured at low cost. In addition, the upper end portion of the lower first spring portion and the lower end portion of the lower second spring portion, the lower end portion of the lower first spring portion and the upper end portion of the lower second spring portion, the upper end portion and the upper portion of the upper first spring portion Since the lower end portion of the second spring portion, the lower end portion of the upper first spring portion, and the upper end portion of the upper second spring portion are formed so as not to overlap when compressed, they function effectively as a spring.

Here, the curves constituting the axis of each of the lower first spring portion, the lower second spring portion, the upper first spring portion, and the upper second spring portion are two curves, the curve and the parting line Are intersecting with a central angle of 180 degrees, and the intersection of the curve and the parting line is preferably a connection point where the curves constituting the axis intersect.
In this way, since the curve constituting the axis and the parting line intersect with each other at an interval of a central angle of 180 degrees, and the intersection is a connection point where the curves constituting the axis intersect, this synthetic resin spring is divided into two parts Therefore, it can be manufactured inexpensively and efficiently.

  Furthermore, on the upper end ring portion, the same spring portion as the lower first spring portion and the lower second spring portion, the same ring portion as the intermediate ring portion, the upper first spring portion and the upper second portion It is desirable that the same spring as the spring portion is repeatedly formed. By sequentially and repeatedly forming in this way, a synthetic resin spring having a desired height can be obtained.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a synthetic resin spring in which the portion of the spiral spring portion that does not act on compression and tension is as small as possible and can be manufactured with a two-part mold.

  An embodiment of a synthetic resin spring according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the synthetic resin spring shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a side view of the synthetic resin spring shown in FIG. Is a front view of the synthetic resin spring shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line PP in FIG. 3, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing changes in the lead angle of the spring portion shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the synthetic resin spring according to the present invention has a lower first spring portion 3 a and a lower second spring portion 3 b formed on the lower end ring portion 2. An intermediate ring portion 4 is formed at the upper ends of the lower first spring portion 3a and the lower second spring portion 3b, and an upper first spring portion 5a and an upper second spring portion 5b are formed on the intermediate ring 4 portion. Has been. An upper end ring portion 6 is formed at the upper ends of the upper first spring portion 5a and the upper second spring portion 5b. These parts are integrally formed of a synthetic resin.

Further, the lower first spring portion 3a, the lower second spring portion 3b, the upper first spring portion 5a, and the upper second spring portion 5b of the synthetic resin spring 1 will be described in detail.
The lower first spring portion 3a and the lower second spring portion 3b are formed to have the same length, the same spiral direction, the same cross-sectional shape, and the same pitch. Similarly, the upper first spring portion 5a and the upper second spring portion 5b are also formed to have the same length, the same spiral direction, the same cross-sectional shape, and the same pitch.

  Further, the lower first spring portion 3a and the lower second spring portion 3b, and the upper first spring portion 5a and the upper second spring portion 5b have different spiral directions, and are formed in the same length, the same cross-sectional shape, and the same pitch. Has been.

  Therefore, in the following description, the lower first spring part 3a and the lower second spring part 3b will be described, and an explanation of the upper first spring part 5a and the upper second spring part 5b will be added as necessary.

As shown in FIG. 5, the lower first spring portion 3 a and the lower second spring portion 3 b are formed so that the inner circumferential thickness T is larger than the outer circumferential thickness t. Yes. That is, inclined portions 3a1 and 3b1 are formed on the upper and lower portions of the cross-sectional shape of the lower first spring portion 3a and the lower second spring portion 3b. Further, linear portions 3a2 and 3b2 are formed on the inner side of the cross section of the lower first spring portion 3a and the lower second spring portion 3b, and arc portions 3a3 and 3b3 are formed on the outer side.
The upper first spring portion 5a and the upper second spring portion 5b also have the same cross-sectional shape as the lower first spring portion 3a and the lower second spring portion 3b.

Further, the axes of the lower first spring portion 3a, the lower second spring portion 3b, the upper first spring portion 5a, and the upper second spring portion 5b are formed as shown in FIG.
This axis is a line connecting the center of the cross section of the spring part, and the axis of the spring part is expressed as shown in FIG. 6 when the cylindrical synthetic resin spring 1 is developed on a plane. In FIG. 6, the connecting point between the lower first spring portion 3 a and the lower end ring 2 is used as a starting point (center angle 0 degree), and the horizontal angle is the central angle about the axis of the cylindrical synthetic resin spring, A height dimension (distance) from the lower end ring portion to the upper end ring portion is taken on the vertical axis.

The lower first spring part 3a is formed from a central angle of 0 degrees to a central angle of 180 degrees, the lower second spring part 3b is formed from a central angle of 180 degrees to a central angle of 360 degrees, and an intermediate ring part 4 is formed at each upper end. Is formed.
The axis of the lower first spring portion 3a is composed of two curves A1 and B1, and a curve with a lead angle θ of 0 degrees is selected on the parting line (partition line of the mold) PP line. ing. Here, the lead angle θ is an angle formed by a tangent to the axis of the spring portion and a horizontal plane.

As a specific example, it is desirable to select a quadratic curve that draws a part of a circle having the same radius as the two curves A1 and B1.
That is, the curve A1 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centering on the point C in FIG. 6 (the contact point between the parting line and the lower end ring portion). The curve B1 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centering on the point D (intersection of the parting line and the intermediate ring portion) in FIG. Therefore, at the connection point E between the curve A1 and the curve B, both the curves A1 and B1 are smooth curves, and the lead angle θ at the connection point E is 0 degree.

  Further, the lower second spring portion 3b is configured by the same curve, except that the starting point of the lower first spring portion 3a is shifted by 180 degrees in the central angle. That is, the curve A2 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centering on the point F (the contact point between the parting line and the lower ring portion) in FIG. The curve B2 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centering on the point G in FIG. 6 (intersection of the parting line and the intermediate ring portion). Therefore, at the connection point H between the curve A2 and the curve B2, both the curves A2 and B2 are smooth curves, and the lead angle θ at the connection point H is 0 degree.

Further, the upper first spring portion 5a and the upper second spring portion 5b will be described.
The upper first spring part 5a is formed from the position of the central angle 180 degrees on the upper surface of the intermediate ring part 4 to the position of the central angle 0 degree on the lower surface of the upper ring 6 part. The upper second spring portion 5b is formed from the position of the central angle 360 degrees on the upper surface of the intermediate ring portion 4 to the position of the central angle 180 degrees on the lower surface of the upper end ring portion 6.

The axis of the upper first spring portion 5a is composed of two curves A3 and B3, and a curve with a lead angle θ of 0 degree is selected on the parting line (partition line of the mold) PP line. The
As a specific example, the two curves A3 and B3 are quadratic curves that draw a part of a circle having the same radius. That is, the curve A3 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centered on the point I (intersection of the parting line and the upper ring portion) in FIG. The curve B3 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centered on the point D (intersection of the parting line and the intermediate ring) in FIG.
Therefore, at the connection point J between the curve A3 and the curve B3, both the curves A3 and B3 are smooth curves, and the lead angle θ at the connection point J is 0 degree.

Further, the upper second spring portion 5b is configured with the same curve only by the start point of the upper first spring portion 5a being shifted by 180 degrees as a central angle.
That is, the curve A4 is drawn as a quarter circle of a circle centered on the point L (intersection of the parting line and the upper ring portion) in FIG. The curve B4 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centered on the point G in FIG. 6 (intersection of the parting line and the intermediate ring portion).
Therefore, at the connection point K between the curve A4 and the curve B4, both the curves A4 and B4 are smooth curves, and the lead angle θ at the connection point H is 0 degree.

  In this specific example, as is apparent from the above description, the curves A1, B1, A2, B2, A3, B3, A4, and B4 are quadratic curves that draw a part of a circle having the same radius. It has been.

As described above, since the axis of each spring portion is formed, a minimal region having a lead angle of 0 degree central angle can be formed without forming a horizontal shape portion in the spring portion as shown in FIG. Therefore, the part which does not act on compression and tension in the spring part can be reduced as much as possible.
In addition, since the points where the lead angle is 0 degrees (the connecting points of the curves) are formed at intervals of the central angle of 180 degrees and the points are formed so that the parting line of the mold crosses, A synthetic resin spring can be manufactured at a low cost and efficiently.

  The upper first spring part 5 a forms a single spring together with the lower first spring part 3 a via the intermediate ring part 4, and the upper second spring part 5 b also forms the lower part via the intermediate ring part 4. One spring is formed together with the second spring portion 3b.

That is, the spring formed by the lower first spring portion 3a and the upper first spring portion 5a is spirally wound clockwise by the lower first spring portion 3a from the center angle position of 0 degrees to the center angle position of 180 degrees. Further, the upper first spring portion 5a is formed in a spiral shape around the left from a position having a central angle of 180 degrees to a position having a central angle of 0 degrees.
Further, the spring formed by the lower second spring portion 3b and the upper second spring portion 5b is formed in a clockwise spiral from the position of the central angle of 180 degrees to the position of the central angle of 360 degrees by the lower second spring portion 3b. Further, the upper second spring portion 5b is formed in a spiral shape around the left from a position at a central angle of 360 degrees to a position at a central angle of 180 degrees.

  Thus, the spring part formed by the upper second spring part 5b and the lower second spring part 3b inside the spring part formed by the upper first spring part 5a and the lower first spring part 3a. Since the metal does not enter the spiral, the mold can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

  In the above embodiment, a quadratic curve forming a circle is illustrated as two curves constituting each spring part, but the present invention is not limited to two curves, and a circle is also used. It is not limited to the quadratic curve that forms For example, it may be a quadratic curve forming a parabola, or may be a combination of three or more curves. Note that the axis of the spring portion may be formed linearly in the vicinity of the lower end ring portion, the intermediate ring portion, and the upper end ring portion.

  In the above embodiment, the central angle of the lower first spring part is 0 to 180 degrees, the central angle of the lower second spring part is 180 to 360 degrees, and the central angle of the upper first spring part is 180 degrees. It has been explained that the central angle of the upper second spring part is 360 degrees to 180 degrees, but when the spring is compressed, the upper end part of the lower first spring part and the lower end part of the lower second spring part, The lower end of the lower first spring portion and the upper end of the lower second spring portion, the upper end of the upper first spring portion and the lower end of the upper second spring portion, the lower end of the upper first spring portion and the upper second spring In order to prevent the upper end portions of the portions from overlapping each other, it is preferable to form the angle at a slightly smaller angle.

Further, the same spring part as the lower first spring part and the lower second spring part is formed on the upper ring part, and further, the same ring part as the intermediate ring part is formed thereon, and the ring part of the ring part is further formed. On the top, the same spring as the upper first spring part and the upper second spring part may be formed, or these may be sequentially repeated.
By forming in this way, a synthetic resin spring having a desired height can be obtained.

And these parts are integrally molded with a synthetic resin and formed in a cylindrical shape as an overall shape.

When the spring portion 7b is developed in a plane, its axis can be represented as a curve in which a plurality of curves are connected as shown in FIG. This axis is a line connecting the center of the cross section of the spring portion 7b. In FIG. 8, the horizontal axis is cylindrical with the connecting point between the lower end ring portion 7a and the spring portion 7b as the starting point (center angle 0 degree). The center angle about the axis of the synthetic resin spring 7 is the center, and the vertical axis is the dimension (distance) from the lower end ring portion 7b to the upper end ring portion 7c.
In FIG. 8, the center angle is shown up to 720 degrees and is omitted thereafter.

  The axis of the spring portion 7a is composed of a plurality of curves M1 to Mn, and a curve with a lead angle θ of 0 degrees is selected on the parting line (partition line of the mold) PP line. . Here, the lead angle θ is an angle formed by a tangent to the axis of the spring portion and a horizontal plane.

As a specific example, it is desirable to select a quadratic curve that draws a part of a circle having the same radius as the plurality of curves M1 to Mn. That is, the curve M1 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centered at the point N1 (the contact point between the parting line and the lower ring portion) in FIG. The curve M2 is drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centered at the point N2 in FIG. Then, N3 point, N4 point, N5 point,... Are drawn as a quarter circle of the circle centered on NN point.
Therefore, the connection points of the plurality of curves M1 to Mn are connected at the O1, O2, O3, O4, O5,... ON points (not shown) and become smooth curves. The lead angle θ is 0 degree.

  Further, the curves M1 to Mn constituting the axis of the spring portion 7a and the parting line PP are center angle 90 degrees, center angle 270 degrees, center angle 450 degrees, center angle 630 degrees, and center angle 180 degrees. Intersect with an interval of. Further, the intersection points of the curves M1 to Mn constituting the axis of the spring part 7a and the parting line PP are the connection points O1, O3, O5, etc. where the curves constituting the axis of the spring part 7a intersect. But there is.

Therefore, since the lead angle is 0 degree even at the intersections with the parting lines such as the connection points O1, O3, and O5, the portion that does not act on compression or tension in the spring portion is minimized. Can do.
Also, the curve that forms the axis of the spring part and the parting line intersect with a central angle of 180 degrees, and the point where the lead angle is 0 degrees (curve connection point) is the intersection with the parting line of the mold Therefore, this synthetic resin spring can be formed by a two-part mold, and can be manufactured inexpensively and efficiently.

In the above embodiment, the case where the axis of the spring portion is composed of a plurality of curves has been shown. However, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 8, in the region not including the intersection with the parting line, Portions Q1, Q2 and Q3 may be included.
In the second embodiment, the quadratic curve forming a circle is exemplified as the two curves constituting each spring portion. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be a quadratic curve forming a parabola, or may be a combination of three or more curves.
Furthermore, the same spring part as the spring part may be formed on the upper ring part, and the same ring part as the lower ring part may be further formed thereon, or these may be sequentially repeated.
