Description

  The present invention relates to a vibration isolator and relates to a vibration isolator suitable for a rammer or the like.

  In the present invention, for example, two aggregates that have a pair of rising pieces that are erected in the center of both sides of the long side of the base member having a substantially rectangular plate shape and that are curved in a C-shape inside An anti-vibration device having a (support), in which both base members are arranged in a state where these rising pieces face each other and are embedded and fixed in a block-like elastic member is known (Patent Document 1).

  If such an anti-vibration device is attached between the vibration part and the gripping part of the rammer, it is possible to obtain an anti-vibration effect, and the rising piece serves as a stopper to prevent the elastic member from being twisted more than a predetermined amount. it can.

  Further, the anti-vibration device is provided between the main body of the rammer or the like and the handle, and indentations are formed in the inner portions of the side plates (supports) bonded to both side surfaces of the anti-vibration rubber. In addition, there is a known vibration isolator in which a pin is swingably inserted into a lateral hole that penetrates a constricted portion of an anti-vibration rubber formed between these recesses (Patent Document 2).

According to such a vibration isolator, even if the handle of the rammer is lifted by the crane, the pin engages with the left and right lateral holes, so that the rammer can be prevented from falling.
Japanese Patent No. 3654575 JP 2007-224551 A

  Conventionally, vibration troubles have become a problem in vibration tools that vibrate vigorously, such as rammers, rock drills, and hammers.

  For example, in a rammer that is a kind of compaction machine, the impact plate provided at the bottom of the main body moves up and down violently to compact the ground, but the vibration is transmitted to the hands of the operator who operates the rammer. If it is not used properly, such as excessive continuous work, the peripheral nerves such as the fingers and forearms of the worker and the motor function may be impaired.

  For this reason, in this type of vibration tool, a vibration isolator using an elastic member as in Patent Document 1 is mounted between the main body and the handle to reduce the vibration transmitted to the handle, and the operator's hand and arm are burdened. I do not take it.

  Therefore, from this viewpoint, it can be said that the elastic member of the vibration isolator is preferably as soft as possible so as to absorb vibrations.

  On the other hand, since a vibration tool such as a rammer is generally a heavy object exceeding 50 kg, the handle may be hooked and loaded by a crane at the work site. However, in that case, a large load acts on the elastic member, which causes damage to the vibration isolator and performance degradation. In view of this, a vibration isolator as described in Patent Document 2 has been proposed so that there is no problem even in such a case.

  However, in the vibration isolator of Patent Document 2, only the central portion of the pin is supported by the constricted portion of the anti-vibration rubber having a small thickness, and both end portions of the pin protrude into the space in the recess. Therefore, when it is lifted by a crane, the pin swings relatively large and is unstable, and the load on the elastic body is also large, so that the original function may not be sufficiently exhibited.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the main object of the present invention is to effectively reduce the vibration of a vibrating tool that vibrates violently, and to load a vibration-proof device by lifting it with a crane. An object of the present invention is to provide an anti-vibration device that does not hinder even if it acts.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, both support bodies are elastically opposed to each other in a state in which a tip portion of a shaft provided on one support body is inserted into a shaft hanging portion provided on the other support body. Buried in the body.

  Specifically, it is a vibration isolator in which a pair of supports, one attached to the vibrating body side and the other attached to the operating body side, are embedded in an elastic body, and the pair of support bodies project against the plate-like support plate. A first support body having a columnar shaft portion provided; and a second support body having a shaft-hanging portion that opens into a plate-like support plate and engages with the shaft portion. The inner diameter of the hanging portion is formed larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion, and the first support body and the second support body face each other in a state where the tip portion of the shaft portion enters the shaft hanging section. It is set as the structure arrange | positioned.

  According to this configuration, first, in the case of a rammer, a vibrating body corresponding to a rammer main body constituted by an impact plate, an engine, etc., and an operating body corresponding to a handle are attached to a pair of support bodies of the vibration isolator. It is done. One support body (first support body) is provided with a columnar shaft portion, and the other support body (second support body) has a shaft hook portion that opens larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion. Is provided. The pair of support bodies are embedded in the elastic body in an opposing manner and integrated in a state where the tip end portion of the shaft portion is inserted into the shaft hook portion.

  That is, the inner diameter of the shaft hooking part is larger than the outer diameter of the shaft part, and the operating body is connected to the vibrating body through an elastic body in a normal use state. Can be reduced.

  In addition, for example, when a relatively large load is applied to the operation unit such as lifting with a crane and the support pair is relatively displaced, the shaft unit is received by the shaft hanging unit, and both supports directly apply force. It comes to work. At this time, the elastic body is also displaced in accordance with the displacement of the shaft portion, but the amount of displacement is relatively small regulated by the gap dimension between the shaft hook portion and the shaft portion. There is no need to worry about performance degradation.

  And when such a large load is applied, since it can be supported directly by both supports, the spring characteristics of the elastic body can be freely softened and the vibration generated by the vibrator can be effectively absorbed. it can.

  Specifically, in the vibration isolator of the present invention, each support plate of the first and second support bodies has a substantially long plate shape, and a shaft portion and a center portion in the longitudinal direction of each support plate are provided. Attaching portions are respectively provided on the longitudinal ends of the support plates, and attachment portions for attachment to the vibration body side and the operation body side are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of each support plate, and both support plates are arranged in a cross shape. It is good to make it.

  In this case, since both support plates have a simple substantially long plate shape, they can be easily manufactured without particularly complicated processes.

  The support plate is provided with a shaft portion and a shaft-hanging portion at the center in the longitudinal direction, and mounting portions for fixing to the vibrating body and the operating body are provided at both ends. Since the mounting portions are symmetrically arranged, the operation in the rotation direction becomes smooth. Further, if both the support plates are arranged in a cross shape in accordance with the direction in which the load is applied, the durability can be improved accordingly. The cross shape is a concept including a case where the X shape is not orthogonal.

  More specifically, the elastic body may be formed in a columnar shape having a cross-shaped cross section, and the support plates of the support may be disposed at both ends of the elastic body in the column axis direction.

  The elastic body may have various shapes such as a columnar shape and a prismatic shape. For example, if an elastic body is formed in a cross-shaped column shape and each support body is rotated around its column axis, the elastic body can be prevented. The spring characteristic in the rotation direction of the vibration device can be softened.

  The shaft-hanging portion may have a bearing wall that rises from the opening peripheral edge of the support plate of the second support, and the bearing wall is disposed on the second support with the bearing wall facing the first support. it can.

  Then, when the shaft portion is received by the shaft hook portion, a wide range of the tip end portion of the shaft portion is received by the bearing wall, so that the shaft portion does not come off from the shaft hook portion even if the shaft portion is slightly wobbled.

  A void portion without an elastic body may be formed around the tip portion of the shaft portion located inside the shaft hook portion.

  If it does so, in the space | gap part, since a shaft part can be displaced without receiving a load from an elastic body, the spring characteristic of a vibration isolator can be softened so much.

  Moreover, you may comprise the said space | gap part by a pair of partial space | gap part formed in the opposing shape on both sides of the axial part.

  In this case, for example, the spring characteristics in a specific direction in which the partial gap portion is formed, such as the front-rear direction, can be softened, which is effective when it is desired to change the spring characteristics depending on the direction.

  In addition, each cross section of the shaft-hanging portion and at least the tip portion located inside the shaft-hanging portion is made into a non-circular shape, and the second support body is relatively around the shaft section of the first support body. The torsional torque of the elastic body may rise non-linearly when rotating.

  Here, the torsional torque of the elastic body rises non-linearly. The torque increases linearly with an increase in the rotation angle around the axis, that is, the rate of increase does not become constant but increases in the middle. It means that the ratio becomes large.

  For example, in the case of a rammer, it is necessary to tilt the rammer body by manipulating the handle when changing direction or overcoming a level difference. The operability becomes worse. Therefore, by making the shaft hook part non-circular and generating non-linear torque, it is possible to change the direction while effectively absorbing the vibration during compaction with soft spring characteristics. In this case, the handle can be operated crisply and the operability is improved.

  As described above, according to the vibration isolator of the present invention, in addition to effectively reducing the vibration of a vibrating tool such as a rammer that is vibrated vigorously, even if an excessive load is applied, such as lifting with a crane, There is no need to worry about the decline. It is easy to manufacture and suitable for mass production, and can be provided with a wide variety of spring characteristics according to the demands of the site, so that it is practically excellent.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the following description of the preferred embodiment is merely illustrative in nature, and is not intended to limit the present invention, its application, or its use.

  The vibration isolator 1 of the present invention is suitable for vibration tools such as a rammer, a rock drill, and a hammer. In the present embodiment, a rammer will be described in detail as an example.

  FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the rammer. The rammer has a rammer main body 3 (vibrating body) provided with an impact plate 2 that is displaced in the vertical direction by an engine, and is easily operated by an operator. And a handle 4 (operation body) made of a metal pipe.

  The vibration isolator 1 of this embodiment is interposed between the rammer body 3 and the handle 4 and is used in a pair of left and right forms. Although details will be described later, each of the vibration isolators 1 and 1 is fastened and fixed to the rammer body 3 or the handle 4 in a state where the axis A of the shaft portion 11 that also serves as a rotation shaft thereof is oriented in the horizontal direction.

  FIG. 2 shows an outline of the vibration isolator 1 as a whole. The vibration isolator 1 includes a rubber elastic body 5 (shown by an imaginary line in the figure) and a pair of metal supports 6 and 6 (shown by a solid line in the figure) embedded in the rubber elastic body 5. I have.

  Each support body 6 has a different structure, and a first support body 6a having a columnar shaft portion 11 protruding from a plate-like support plate 10 (first support plate 10a), and a plate-like support plate 10 (second support plate 10 b) and a second support body 6 b having a shaft hooking portion 12 that engages with the shaft portion 11.

  FIG. 3 shows the first support 6a. As shown in the figure, the first support plate 10a has a slightly long and thin plate shape cut out from a metal plate by pressing, and a through hole 13 is formed at the center in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. In this through hole 13, a separate cylindrical metal pin is caulked and fixed so as to extend in the vertical direction with respect to the first support plate 10 a, thereby constituting the shaft portion 11. Moreover, a pair of bolt holes 15 and 15 (attachment portions) for inserting bolts fastened and fixed to either the rammer body 3 or the handle 4 are formed at both ends of the first support plate 10a. Both bolt holes 15, 15 are provided at positions symmetrical with respect to the shaft portion 11.

  On the other hand, FIG. 4 shows the second support 6b, and the second support plate 10b has a long plate shape similar to the first support plate 10a. Instead of the shaft portion 11 of the first support body 6a, the shaft hanging portion 12 is formed at the center portion in the longitudinal direction and the width direction, both of which are thinner than the first support plate 10a. Is different.

  For example, if the outer diameter of the shaft 11 is 12 mm, the shaft hook 12 has a circular opening 16 having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft 11 so that the inner diameter of the shaft 12 is 24 mm. And an annular bearing wall 17 that rises substantially vertically from the periphery of the opening 16. The bearing wall 17 is formed integrally with the second support plate 10b by drawing. In order to prevent deformation due to the drawing process, flanges 18, 18,... Are formed on both the left and right sides of the intermediate portion in the longitudinal direction of the second support plate 10b.

  Thus, since each support body 6a, 6b is comprised with the simple member, it is excellent in mass-productivity. Moreover, if the thickness dimensions of both support plates 10a and 10b are made the same, they can be shared in the manufacturing process, and the members and man-hours can be reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the support bodies 6 a and 6 b are configured so that the bearing wall 17 and the shaft portion 11 face each other and face each other, and the tip end portion of the shaft portion 11 is put in the substantially central portion of the shaft hook portion 12. It is embedded in the rubber elastic body 5 in a state of being inserted.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 2 and specifically FIG. 5, the rubber elastic body 5 of the present embodiment has a cross-like columnar shape when viewed from the axial direction, and one end face is exposed at both end faces. As described above, the support plates 10a and 10b of the supports 6a and 6b are arranged in a cross shape.

  A pair of bolt mounting holes 19, 19 each having a relatively large cylindrical shape are formed on both end portions of the rubber elastic body 5 in the longitudinal direction of the support plate 10. The other support plate 10 extends to the other end face. The previous bolt hole 15 is disposed so as to be located at the center of the bolt mounting hole 19.

  The vibration isolator 1 is fastened and fixed to the rammer body 3 and the handle 4 with bolts through the bolt mounting holes 19 and the bolt holes 15. For example, at this time, when one support plate 10 is fastened to the rammer body 3 so as to extend in the vertical direction and the other support plate 10 is fastened to the handle 4 so as to extend in the front-rear direction, a pair along the respective flow lines. These bolts are fixed, which is preferable for improving durability.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a ring-shaped gap portion 20 is recessed over the entire circumference around the tip end portion of the shaft portion 11 positioned inside the shaft hooking portion 12, and the spring of the rubber elastic body 5. It has been devised to make the characteristics soft.

  In addition, an escape portion 21 is provided so that the tip of the shaft portion 11 is located slightly inside the one end surface where the second support plate 11b is exposed, and an axial load acts on the vibration isolator 1. Even so, the tip of the shaft portion 11 does not protrude outward from the second support plate 11b.

  As described above, the first support body 6a and the second support body 6b of the vibration isolator 1 are not in direct contact with each other in a normal state and are connected via the rubber elastic body 5 (elastic support state). The vibration of the rammer body 3 generated during compaction is absorbed by the rubber elastic body 5 and the vibration transmitted to the handle 4 is reduced.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the handle 4 is lifted by a crane and a large load is applied in the axial direction (shear direction of the rubber elastic body 5) as shown by an arrow in FIG. The tip end portion of the shaft and the shaft hooking portion 12 are relatively displaced in the radial direction, and finally the shaft hooking portion 12 receives and directly supports the tip end portion of the shaft portion 11 as shown in FIG. (Directly supported). At this time, the rubber elastic body 5 is also displaced, but the amount of displacement is slight, and an excessive load is not applied to the rubber elastic body 5.

  Accordingly, the spring characteristics of the rubber elastic body 5 are not particularly limited and can be adjusted freely and softly, so that the vibration transmitted to the handle 4 at the time of compaction can be further reduced.

  The spring characteristics around the axis A of the vibration isolator 1 can be adjusted, for example, by changing the shape of the rubber elastic body 5 as shown in (a) to (c) of FIG. (A) of the figure is the shape of the above embodiment having a cross-shaped cross section, but the rubber elastic body 5 of (c) of the figure has a cylindrical shape, and (b) of FIG. It has a shape between the shapes of a) and (c). As the cross-sectional shape from (a) to (c) is approached, the amount of wear of the rubber elastic body 5 around the axis A increases. As a result, the spring characteristics around the axis A, that is, the torsion torque can be increased.

  FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the vibration isolator 1 of the present invention. There, the gap portion 20 in the above-described embodiment is composed of a pair of partial gap portions 20a and 20a that are formed to face each other with the shaft portion 11 interposed therebetween. By forming the gap portion 20 in this way, the spring characteristics of the vibration isolator 1 can be made soft by selecting a direction. For example, according to the vibration direction of the rammer body 3, by arranging the vibration isolator 1 such that the pair of partial gaps 20a, 20a are along the vertical direction, the vibration of the rammer body 3 is further absorbed, Vibration transmitted to the handle 4 can be reduced. On the other hand, when the handle 4 is operated in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, since the rubber elastic body 5 is interposed between the shaft hooking portion 12 and the shaft portion 11, the spring characteristics are relatively hard. Therefore, the movement of the handle 4 is well transmitted to the rammer body 3 and the operability is excellent.

  FIG. 9 shows still another embodiment of the vibration isolator 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, it has the structure without the space | gap part 20 from said embodiment so that the spring characteristic of the vibration isolator 1 may become hard. Other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment.

  10 and 11 show still another embodiment. In order to change the direction of the rammer, get over the step, etc., it is necessary to tilt the rammer body 3 by operating the handle 4. At this time, if the spring characteristics of the rubber elastic body 5 become soft due to physical properties, the handle 4 There is a disadvantage that the response at the time of the operation becomes ambiguous and the operability is deteriorated.

  Therefore, in the vibration isolator 1 of the present embodiment, the spring characteristics are changed in response to an increase in the load around the axis A of the vibration isolator 1. That is, the shaft hooking portion 12 and the like are formed into a non-circular shape so that when the first support body 6a and the second support body 6b are relatively rotated around the axis A, the torsion torque rises nonlinearly. did.

  Here, the fact that the torsional torque rises non-linearly means that the torque does not increase linearly as the rotational angle around the axis A increases, but the rate of increase increases halfway. For example, FIG. 12 conceptually shows the relationship, but when both supports 6a and 6b are relatively rotated from an unloaded state (position 0 in the figure), normally, as shown by a broken line. In this embodiment, as shown by the solid line, the generated torque changes greatly as the rotation angle increases.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, at least the tip portion of the shaft portion 11 entering the shaft hooking portion 12, and the axial section of the opening portion 16 and the bearing wall 17 of the shaft hooking portion 12 are square. While making it a shape, it arrange | positions so that the front end part of the axial part 11, the opening part 16, and the diagonal of the bearing wall 17 may orthogonally cross. A rubber elastic body 5 is interposed between the tip portion of the shaft portion 11 and the shaft hook portion 12.

  In this way, when the shaft portion 11 is relatively rotated within the shaft hooking portion 12, the torsion torque rises nonlinearly.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, at least the tip end portion of the shaft portion 11 entering the shaft hooking portion 12, and the axial section of the opening portion 16 and the bearing wall 17 of the shaft hooking portion 12 are elliptical. At the same time, the tip portion of the shaft portion 11 and the opening 16 and the major and minor axes of the bearing wall 17 may be arranged in the same direction. Even with such a configuration, the torsional torque can rise nonlinearly. In addition, since the shaft part 11 of this specific example only needs to deform | transform the front-end | tip part of the column-shaped shaft part 11 into an elliptic cylinder shape, it can be made from the 1st support member 6a of 1st embodiment, for example. Excellent versatility.

  The vibration isolator 1 according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but includes various other configurations.

  For example, the shaft portion 11 may be formed so that the portion inserted into the shaft hook portion 12 is at least smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft hook portion 12, and other portions are formed larger than the inner diameter of the shaft hook portion 12. Also good. There may be a plurality of the pair of partial gaps 20a, 20a, and the gaps 20 including these may have different depths, widths, lengths, and other dimensions and positions. Then, more various spring characteristics can be imparted.

  The material of the support 6 is not limited to metal and may be resin. The bearing wall 17 may fix a cylindrical separate member to the second support plate 10b. In that case, if the shaft portion 11 enters not only the front end portion but also the intermediate portion of the shaft portion 12, the shaft portion 11 can be reliably engaged with each other, which is effective.

  Moreover, each said embodiment can also be comprised combining suitably. For example, in the vibration isolator 1 having the configuration shown in FIG. 11 by combining the embodiments shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, the tip end portion of the shaft portion 11 located in the shaft hooking portion 12 is divided into two in the axial direction, and its base end If the side is configured as shown in the figure and a pair of partial gaps 20a, 20a as shown in FIG. 8 is formed at the tip side, the spring is relatively soft in the vertical direction and the torque rises nonlinearly in the rotational direction. The characteristics can be exhibited.
