Description

  The present invention relates to a jig used for mounting a packing that seals the outer periphery of a rotating, axially reciprocating or swinging member into a packing mounting groove formed on an inner peripheral surface of a housing.

As a method for mounting the packing in the packing mounting groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the housing, a method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is conventionally known. However, in this method, the packing mounting groove has to be formed in a special cross-sectional shape.
JP-A-6-58335

  On the other hand, there is a method of mounting the packing using a dedicated jig without making the packing mounting groove into a special cross-sectional shape. FIG. 14 is an explanatory view showing a packing mounting method using a conventional packing mounting jig, and FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view for explaining problems in the conventional packing mounting jig.

  In FIG. 14, reference numeral 100 is a cylindrical housing to which a packing is mounted, and a packing mounting groove 101 continuous in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface thereof. Reference numeral 110 is a rubber-like elastic material. A substantially U-shaped packing, reference numeral 120 is a flat washer-shaped backup ring made of a synthetic resin material. The packing mounting jig includes a plug 200 and a push rod 210, and the plug 200 includes a main body 201 on the inner periphery of the housing 100 and a pedestal 202 formed on the outer side in the axial direction. When the portion 201 is inserted into the inner periphery of the housing 100 and the pedestal portion 202 is in contact with the one end surface 100a of the housing 100, the tip of the main body 201 located on the inner periphery of the packing mounting groove 101 is connected to the tip. A substantially conical guide surface 201a having a smaller diameter is formed.

  A procedure for mounting the packing 110 in the packing mounting groove 101 of the housing 100 will be described. First, FIG. 14A shows a state in which the housing 100 is set on the plug 200. In this state, the housing 100 is extrapolated to the main body portion 201 of the plug 200, and one end surface 100 a is in contact with the pedestal portion 202 of the plug 200. A backup ring 120 is mounted in the packing mounting groove 101 of the housing 100.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 14B, the packing 110 is inserted from the other end opening 100 b of the housing 100. Since the packing 110 is larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the housing 100, it is inserted obliquely while being deformed. At this time, the leading portion 110a in the insertion direction of the packing 110 is guided by the guide surface 201a having a substantially conical surface of the plug 200 and is moved and fitted so as to slide onto the backup ring 120 in the packing mounting groove 101. Then, as shown in FIG. 14 (C), by pressing the portion 110b not fitted in the packing mounting groove 101 with the push rod 210, the packing 110 is elastically deformed, and the packing 110 can be flipped with its reaction force. It fits into the mounting groove 101 and is mounted.

  However, according to the conventional packing mounting jig, as in the example shown in FIG. 15, another packing is already added to the packing mounting step 102 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the housing 100 on the plug insertion side. When 130 is attached, it is necessary to make the outer diameter of the main body 201 of the plug 200 smaller than the inner diameter of the existing packing 130 in order to avoid interference with the seal lip 131 of the existing packing 130. For this reason, the gap G between the outer diameter of the main body 201 and the inner diameter of the backup ring 120 in the packing mounting groove 101 becomes large in the state where the housing 100 is set in the plug 200. When the leading portion 110a in the insertion direction slides from the guide surface 201a of the plug 200 onto the backup ring 120 in the packing mounting groove 101, the leading portion 110a is caught in the gap G, and the packing 110 cannot be mounted or is damaged by the biting. There was a risk.

  Further, when the packing 110 is caught in the gap G, the plug 200 and the housing 100 are relatively eccentric, and the seal lip 131 of the existing packing 130 interferes with the main body 201 of the plug 200 and is deformed or damaged. There was also a fear.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its technical problem is to provide a packing mounting jig capable of easily mounting the packing into the packing mounting groove on the inner periphery of the housing. There is to do.

  As a means for effectively solving the above technical problem, the packing mounting jig according to the present invention is used for mounting a packing in a packing mounting groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the housing. The plug includes a plug and a plug expanding rod, and the plug is formed with a main body portion that can be inserted into the inner periphery of the housing. A guide surface having a smaller diameter toward the tip is formed at a position on the inner peripheral side, and a circumferential direction is provided by a rod insertion hole that penetrates the inner diameter side of the guide surface in the axial direction and a slit extending from the rod insertion hole. Divided into a plurality of elastic segments, the plug expanding rod has a conical surface portion that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip, and the smallest diameter portion of the conical surface portion is formed to have a smaller diameter than the rod insertion hole. It is one in which the maximum diameter portion is formed larger in diameter than the rod insertion hole.

  The packing mounting jig having the above-described configuration is in a state where the main body of the plug is positioned and inserted into the inner periphery of the housing, while deforming the packing from the side opposite to the side where the plug is inserted to the inner periphery of the housing. By inserting diagonally, the leading portion of the packing in the insertion direction can be guided by the guide surface formed in the main body and moved so as to slide into the packing mounting groove. . And since the said main-body part is divided | segmented into the circumferential direction several elastic segment by the slit, it can carry out diameter expansion deformation | transformation by press-fitting the conical surface part of a plug diameter expansion rod to the rod insertion hole of this main body part. it can. Therefore, by expanding the diameter of the main body after the main body is inserted into the housing, the eccentricity of the plug with respect to the housing is suppressed, and the back-up ring previously mounted in the packing mounting groove or the inner diameter of the housing is reduced. The gap can be reduced.

  In a more preferred example of the packing mounting jig configured as described above, an annular elastic body is mounted on the outer periphery of the main body of the plug.

  That is, in this configuration, the annular elastic body urges a plurality of elastic segments constituting the main body portion of the plug in the direction of diameter reduction, and therefore, a synthetic resin material having poor elasticity or the like may be used as the plug material. it can.

  In another example of the packing mounting jig configured as described above, a guide protrusion that can be fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the end of the housing is formed concentrically with the main body at the base of the main body of the plug. .

  That is, according to this configuration, when the main body portion of the plug is inserted into the inner periphery of the housing, the guide protrusion at the base of the main body portion is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the end portion of the housing. Is reliably prevented.

  According to the packing mounting jig according to the present invention, after inserting the plug body into the housing, the plug is expanded and deformed by the plug expanding rod so that the inner diameter of the previously mounted backup ring or the inner diameter of the housing is reduced. Since the gap can be reduced, the packing is prevented from being caught in the gap during the mounting process, so that the mounting workability can be improved and the packing can be effectively prevented from being damaged.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a packing mounting jig according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a housing to which a packing is mounted, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of a packing mounting jig according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a plug in the packing mounting jig of FIG. 4 to 11 show a packing mounting operation using the packing mounting jig of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the process of setting the housing to the plug. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a mounting state of the backup ring, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along VI-VI ′ in FIG. 5, FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a step of expanding the diameter of the main body of the plug, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a packing inserting step into the housing, FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the packing is completely installed in the housing, and FIG. 11 is a state where the work is completed. FIG.

  First, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 100 is a cylindrical housing in which packing is mounted by the packing mounting jig according to the present invention, and a packing mounting groove 101 is formed on the inner peripheral surface, and the inner periphery of one end opening is formed. A packing mounting step 102 is formed. As shown in FIG. 11, the packing mounting groove 101 has an axial width that allows the packing 110 and the backup ring 120 to be mounted side by side in the axial direction. Further, a packing 130 different from the packing 110 to be mounted by the packing mounting jig according to the present invention is already mounted on the packing mounting step 102 (hereinafter referred to as an existing packing 130).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the packing mounting jig according to the present invention includes a plug 1, an O-ring 2 mounted on the plug 1, and a plug expanding rod 3.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the plug 1 is formed of a synthetic resin material such as MC nylon (registered trademark), and has a main body 11 that can be loosely inserted into the inner periphery of the housing 100 shown in FIG. 1. And a pedestal portion 12 which is formed at the base end portion thereof and comes into contact with one end surface 100a of the housing 100 in a state where the main body portion 11 is loosely inserted into the inner periphery of the housing 100.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main body portion 11 of the plug 1 is a conical surface having a small diameter toward the distal end in the vicinity of the distal end on the inner peripheral side of the packing mounting groove 101 in a state of being inserted into the housing 100. The cylindrical guide surface 11a is formed into a bottomed cylindrical shape, and has a rod insertion hole 11b that penetrates the inner diameter side of the guide surface 11a in the axial direction and a circumferential direction of 60 degrees around the rod insertion hole 11b. The slits 11c extending at intervals are divided into six elastic segments 11d in the circumferential direction. Further, an O-ring mounting groove 11e is formed on the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of the tip of the main body 11, and a protrusion 11f is formed along the outer periphery of the opening end of the rod insertion hole 11b on the inner diameter side of the guide surface 11a. Between the skirt of the guide surface 11a and the O-ring mounting groove 11e, a flange 11g is located on the lower inner peripheral side of the packing mounting groove 101 when the main body 11 is positioned and inserted as shown in FIG.

  The O-ring 2 corresponds to the annular elastic body described in claim 2 and is made of a rubber-like elastic material. As shown in FIG. 3, the O-ring mounting groove in the main body 11 of the plug 1 is used. By attaching to 11e, each elastic segment 11d which comprises the main-body part 11 is urged | biased in a diameter reduction direction. When the main body 11 is reduced in diameter by the O-ring 2, the outer diameter of the flange 11g, which is the maximum diameter of the main body 11, is the inner diameter of the existing packing 130 of the housing 100 and a backup ring 120 (described later). 5)).

  The plug diameter-expanding rod 3 is made of SUS steel, and includes a rod body 31 that can be press-fitted into the rod insertion hole 11b of the body portion 11 of the plug 1 and a bowl-shaped head portion 32 formed at one end thereof. Have. The vicinity of the tip of the rod body 31 (near the end opposite to the head 32) is a conical surface portion 31a that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip, and the minimum diameter portion of the conical surface portion 31a is the rod insertion hole 11b. The diameter is smaller and the largest diameter portion is larger than the rod insertion hole 11b.

  In other words, the plug diameter-expanding rod 3 is formed by pressing the rod body 31 into the rod insertion hole 11b, so that the conical surface portion 31a pushes open the rod insertion hole 11b, and each elastic segment constituting the body portion 11 of the plug 1 is inserted. 11d is subjected to diameter expansion deformation against its elasticity and the tight force of the O-ring 2. Further, the head 32 of the plug expanding rod 3 has a shape that can be fitted to a protrusion 11 f formed on the inner diameter side of the guide surface 11 a of the plug 1.

  In order to mount the packing in the packing mounting groove 101 on the inner peripheral surface of the housing 100 using the packing mounting jig configured as described above, first, as shown in FIG. The O-ring 2 is fitted in the O-ring mounting groove 11e, and the plug 1 is installed on a work table (not shown) with the main body 11 facing upward, and the housing 100 is mounted with the existing packing 130. The main body part 11 is extrapolated (in other words, the main body part 11 is loosely inserted into the housing 100) so that the opened end part is on the lower side, and the one end surface 100a is set in a state of being in contact with the pedestal part 12 To do.

  At this time, the main body portion 11 of the plug 1 is in a reduced diameter state by the tight force of the O-ring 2, and the flange 11 g which is the maximum diameter portion is connected to the inner diameter of the housing 100 and the packing mounting step portion 102 at the lower end inner periphery. Since the diameter is smaller than the installed packing 130, the housing 100 can be easily set, and there is no possibility that the seal lip 131 of the existing packing 130 is deformed or damaged due to interference with the flange 11g or the like.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the backup ring 120 is attached to the lower part of the packing attachment groove 101 in the housing 100. This backup ring 120 is formed of a synthetic resin such as PTFE, and is formed in a flat washer shape in which one place in the circumferential direction is cut, and the outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the housing 100. At this time, it is only necessary to insert into the packing mounting groove 101 from the opening 100b on the opposite side of the plug insertion side of the housing 100 with the one cutting end as the head while appropriately deforming.

  The inner diameter of the backup ring 120 is appropriately smaller than the inner peripheral surface of the housing 100 when mounted in the packing mounting groove 101. And since the flange 11g of the main-body part 11 of the plug 1 is located in the inner peripheral side of the backup ring 120 with which the lower part in the packing installation groove | channel 101 was mounted | worn, it is a smaller diameter than the internal diameter of this backup ring 120, There is a gap G between the two.

  Next, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the rod main body 31 of the plug diameter-expanding rod 3 is press-fitted into the rod insertion hole 11 b in the main body portion 11 of the plug 1. In this press-fitting process, the conical surface portion 31a of the rod body 31 pushes and opens the rod insertion hole 11b, so that each elastic segment 11d constituting the body portion 11 of the plug 1 has its own elasticity and the compressive force of the O-ring 2. Since the diameter of the main body 11 is deformed and the gap G between the flange 11g of the main body 11 and the backup ring 120 opposed to the radial direction of the main body 11 decreases, the rod main body 31 is completely press-fitted. The gap G can be almost eliminated. For this reason, the plug 1 and the housing 100 are aligned with each other via the backup ring 120. The plug expanding rod 3 is pushed into the rod insertion hole 11b until the head 32 is fitted with the protrusion 11f at the tip of the main body 11.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the packing 110 to be mounted is inserted into the backup ring 120 in the packing mounting groove 101 of the housing 100 from the opening 100 b opposite to the plug insertion side of the housing 100. This packing 110 is formed of a rubber-like elastic material, and has an inner peripheral lip 111 and an outer peripheral lip 112. The outer diameter is slightly larger than the bottom surface of the packing mounting groove 101, and the inner peripheral lip 111 has an inner diameter. The inner diameter of the housing 100 and the inner diameter of the backup ring 120 are smaller.

  Oil may be applied to the packing 110 in advance. Since the packing 110 has a larger diameter than the inner diameter of the housing 100, the packing 110 is inserted obliquely while being appropriately deformed. Alternatively, a guide cylinder (not shown) may be fitted in the opening 100b of the housing 100 in advance, and the packing 110 may be inserted into the housing 100 from the inner periphery of the guide cylinder.

  The packing 110 is inserted lightly until the leading portion 110a in the insertion direction comes into contact with the substantially conical guide surface 11a of the plug 1 in the housing 100. At this time, it is desirable that the insertion direction leading portion 110a be on the opposite side in the circumferential direction from the cut portion of the backup ring 120.

  When the packing 110 is further pushed in using the push rod 4 of an appropriate size that can be inserted into the inner periphery of the housing 100, the leading portion 110a in the insertion direction is a guide having a substantially conical surface shape of the main body 11 in the plug 1. After being guided by the surface 11a so as to slide and fit onto the backup ring 120 in the packing mounting groove 101, the portion 110b on the opposite side can snap with the reaction force of the elastic deformation of the packing 110. Is fitted into the packing mounting groove 101, and the mounting state shown in FIG. 10 is obtained.

  Here, since there is almost no gap between the flange 11g of the main body 11 and the backup ring 120 in the plug 1, the leading portion 110a in the insertion direction of the packing 110 extends from the guide surface 11a of the main body 11 to the backup ring 120. In the process of moving to, there is no possibility of being caught in the gap. For this reason, the packing 110 can be mounted smoothly, and damage due to biting can be prevented.

  When the mounting of the packing 110 is completed, when the plug expansion rod 3 is pulled out from the rod insertion hole 11b in the main body 11 of the plug 1, each elastic segment 11d constituting the main body 11 has its own elasticity and tightness of the O-ring 2 Since the main body 11 (flange 11g) has a smaller diameter than the backup ring 120 and the existing packing 130, the housing 100 can be easily removed from the plug 1 as shown in FIG. The work is completed.

  FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing another embodiment of the packing mounting jig according to the present invention, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a packing mounting operation using the packing mounting jig of FIG.

  In this embodiment, the difference from the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 described above is that the existing packing 130 in the housing 100 shown in FIG. 13 is placed on the upper surface of the base portion 12 corresponding to the base portion of the main body 11 of the plug 1. The guide protrusion 13 that can be fitted into the outer end portion 102 a of the installed packing mounting step 102 is formed continuously or intermittently in the circumferential direction concentric with the main body 11.

  According to this embodiment, when the main body portion 11 of the plug 1 is loosely inserted into the inner periphery of the housing 100, the guide protrusion 13 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the outer end portion 102 a of the packing mounting step portion 102 of the housing 100. By doing so, the housing 100 and the plug 1 are held concentrically with each other, so that the interference of the main body 11 with the existing packing 130 is reliably prevented.
