[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. For convenience of explanation, the arrow UP shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 7 is the upward direction.

(Rubber roll manufacturing equipment)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a mold 10 as an example of a rubber roll manufacturing apparatus according to the present embodiment is a cylinder as an example of a cylindrical first mold that coaxially surrounds a core 20 to be described later. A mold 12, and upper and lower molds 14 as an example of a pair of second molds that are attached to both ends of the cylindrical mold 12 from the outside in the axial direction and sandwich the core metal 20 from the outside in the axial direction. ing.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the upper and lower molds 14 are inserted into the cylindrical mold 12 and the outer cylinder part 15 fitted to cover both ends (outer peripheral surfaces) of the cylindrical mold 12 from the outside. The inner cylinder part 16 fitted so as to cover a shaft part 24 to be described later of the cored bar 20 is provided on the inner surface side (the surface side facing the cylindrical mold 12). A circular recess 17 is formed coaxially on the outer surface side of the upper and lower molds 14.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a circular injection port 18 for injecting unvulcanized rubber is provided in the circumferential direction at the outer peripheral edge portion in the concave portion 17 of one upper and lower molds 14, for example, the upper mold 14A. A plurality (eight shown) are formed at equal intervals. Specifically, the injection port 18 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the inner cylinder portion 16, that is, when the upper and lower molds 14 are mounted on the cylindrical mold 12, It is formed so as to communicate with a space S (see FIG. 4) between the inner wall 12A (a resin tube 13 described later).

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cored bar 20 is cylindrical and hollow (see FIG. 6), and protrudes coaxially from the center of both end faces of the main body 22 toward the outside in the axial direction. And the diameter of the shaft portion 24 is smaller than the diameter of the main body portion 22 (the diameter of the main body portion 22 is larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 24). Have been). As shown in FIG. 4, the diameter (outer diameter) of the main body portion 22 is formed substantially the same as the outer diameter of the inner cylinder portion 16.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, both ends of the cylindrical mold 12, specifically, in a state where the core metal 20 is inserted into the cylindrical mold 12, the radial direction of the shaft section 24 of the core metal 20 A concave groove 26 having a substantially semicircular cross section is formed in an annular shape on the facing inner wall 12A along the circumferential direction. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the unvulcanized rubber injected from the injection port 18 fills not only the space S but also the concave groove 26.

(Rubber roll manufacturing method)
Next, the function (a method for producing a rubber roll) of the mold 10 having the above configuration will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, first, a cylindrical resin tube 13 as an example of a coating member is attached to the inner wall 12 </ b> A of the cylindrical mold 12. The length of the resin tube 13 is such that both end portions 13A protrude slightly from the cylindrical mold 12 outward in the axial direction.

  Then, the lower mold 14 </ b> B is attached to the lower end portion of the cylindrical mold 12, and then the core metal 20 is inserted into the resin tube 13 from the upper end side of the cylindrical mold 12. That is, the core metal 20 is inserted into the cylindrical mold 12, and the lower shaft portion 24 is fitted into the inner cylinder portion 16 of the lower mold 14B. Then, the upper shaft portion 24 is fitted into the inner cylinder portion 16 of the upper mold 14 </ b> A while the upper mold 14 </ b> A is mounted on the upper end portion of the cylindrical mold 12.

  As a result, the end surface 16A of the inner cylinder portion 16 in the upper and lower molds 14 abuts on the end surface 22A of the main body portion 22 around the vertical shaft portion 24, so that the main body portion 22 of the core metal 20 is concentrically surrounded by the cylindrical mold 12. However, it is held by the upper and lower molds 14 from the outside in the axial direction toward the inside. At this time, both end portions 13A of the resin tube 13 are also pressed between the cylindrical mold 12 and the upper and lower molds 14, respectively.

  Thus, when the upper and lower molds 14 are mounted on both ends of the cylindrical mold 12, unvulcanized rubber is injected at a predetermined pressure from the injection port 18 formed in the upper mold 14A. Then, the unvulcanized rubber is subjected to the action of pressure and gravity, and the resin tube 13 attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion 16 and the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 22 of the cored bar 20 and the inner wall 12A of the cylindrical mold 12. It fills in the space S between. Then, the unvulcanized rubber is filled into the concave groove 26 formed in the inner wall 12A while pushing the resin tube 13 (see FIG. 5).

  When unvulcanized rubber is injected from the injection port 18 and filled to fill the space S (including the inside of the groove 26), the mold 10 is heated to cure the unvulcanized rubber. Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the unvulcanized rubber is cured to become vulcanized rubber (elastic rubber) 28, the upper and lower molds 14 are removed from the cylindrical mold 12 as shown in FIG. .

  At this time, the vulcanized rubber 28 exists on the outer peripheral surface side of the inner cylindrical portion 16, that is, between the inner cylindrical portion 16 and the resin tube 13, but the outer peripheral surface side of the vulcanized rubber 28 together with the resin tube 13. It has entered into the groove 26 (biting in). Therefore, when removing the upper and lower molds 14 from the cylindrical mold 12, there is no possibility that the tube covering roll 30 as an example of the rubber roll is pulled out together with the upper and lower molds 14.

  That is, when removing the upper and lower molds 14 from the cylindrical mold 12, if the tube covering roll 30 is pulled out from the cylindrical mold 12 together with the upper mold 14A or the lower mold 14B, the tube covering roll 30 is mistakenly placed on the floor. In such a case, there is a risk that a defect such as a scratch on the surface of the tube covering roll 30 may occur.

  However, in the mold 10 according to the present embodiment, a part of the unvulcanized rubber flows into the concave groove 26 of the cylindrical mold 12 together with the resin tube 13 and is cured there. It becomes. Therefore, when removing the upper and lower molds 14 from the cylindrical mold 12, the tube covering roll 30 in the cylindrical mold 12 is not pulled out and dropped on the floor. For this reason, the surface of the tube covering roll 30 is not damaged, and it is possible to improve the take-out property when the tube covering roll 30 is taken out from the mold 10.

  In addition, in the case of such a tube covering roll 30, there is a problem that wrinkles are generated in the resin tube 13 covered on the surface (covering the outer peripheral surface of the vulcanized rubber 28). However, in the mold 10 according to the present embodiment, a part of the unvulcanized rubber flows into the concave groove 26 of the cylindrical mold 12 together with the resin tube 13, so that the resin tube 13 is in the axial direction of the cylindrical mold 12. Pulled towards both ends. For this reason, it is hard to generate | occur | produce a wrinkle in the resin tube 13 with which the surface of the tube coating roll 30 was mounted | worn.

  When the tube covering roll 30 is taken out from the cylindrical mold 12, the vulcanized rubber 28 and the resin tube 13 (diametrically opposed to the shaft portion 24) projecting in the axial direction from the end surface 22A of the main body portion 22. The vulcanized rubber 28 and the resin tube 13) may be bent inward in the radial direction, and the vulcanized rubber 28 and the resin tube 13 may be removed from the concave groove 26. Thereby, the tube covering roll (rubber roll) provided with the site | part which protruded in the cross-sectional substantially semicircular arc shape formed of the ditch | groove 26 is manufactured.

  Further, the vulcanized rubber 28 and the resin tube 13 protruding in the axial direction from the end face 22A of the main body 22 are unnecessary ones that do not function as a tube covering roll. For this reason, after taking out tube covering roll 30 from cylindrical metallic mold 12, it can also cut and remove. Thereby, the site | part which protruded in the cross-sectional substantially semicircular arc shape formed of the ditch | groove 26 is removed, and the tube coating roll 30 used as a product is manufactured.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, another embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In order to make the description easy to understand, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

  The main difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the core metal 20 in the first embodiment has a uniform cross-sectional area in the longitudinal direction (axial direction) and the lower metal in the first embodiment. The mold 14B is the same as the upper mold 14A.

  This difference will be described in more detail. The cored bar 200 is a solid cylindrical metal shaft, and is formed so that the diameter of the shaft portion 24 is uniform in the longitudinal direction. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the pair of upper and lower molds 140 is constituted by two upper molds 14A, and also on the outer peripheral edge portion in the recess 17 of the upper mold 14A below the paper surface of FIG. A plurality of circular inlets 18 for injecting unvulcanized rubber are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction (eight in the figure). That is, the inlet 18 for injecting unvulcanized rubber is formed between the core metal 200 and the resin tube 13 in both the pair of upper and lower molds 140.

  In the rubber roll manufacturing apparatus (die 100) of the second embodiment, the amount of unvulcanized rubber injected between the core metal 200 and the resin tube 13 is larger than that of the first embodiment. Since unvulcanized rubber can be injected from both the upper and lower molds 140, the tube covering roll 30 can be produced in a short time.

  Further, the inner wall 12 </ b> A that is opposed to the shaft portion 24 that sandwiches the core metal 200 with the upper and lower molds 140 in the both ends of the cylindrical mold 12, that is, in a state where the core metal 200 is inserted into the cylindrical mold 12. The groove 26 having a substantially semicircular cross section is formed in an annular shape along the circumferential direction. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, the unvulcanized rubber injected from the injection port 18 is filled not only in the space S but also in the concave groove 26. Therefore, in the second embodiment, Also, the same effect as the first embodiment can be obtained.

  The rubber roll manufacturing apparatus (molds 10 and 100) and the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment have been described with reference to the drawings. However, the rubber roll manufacturing apparatus (molds 10 and 100) and the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment are described. Are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and various modifications, changes, and improvements can be made.

  For example, the shape of the concave groove 26 is not limited to a substantially semicircular cross section, and may be formed to have a substantially triangular cross section. In particular, the resin tube 13 can be pulled outward in the axial direction, and the axially outer side is substantially perpendicular in cross section so as to prevent the tube covering roll 30 from being detached when the upper and lower molds 14 are removed from the cylindrical mold 12. It may be formed in a triangular shape (substantially right-angled triangular cross section).

  Further, the concave groove 26 may be only at one end (for example, only above the paper surface in FIGS. 4 to 7 and 8). This is because a part of the unvulcanized rubber flows into the concave groove 26 at one end of the cylindrical mold 12 together with the resin tube 13 and hardens there, so that the upper and lower molds 14 are pulled out from the cylindrical mold 12 in the axial direction. This is to prevent the tube covering roll 30 from coming off. Even in this case, since the resin tube 13 is pulled toward one end in the axial direction of the cylindrical mold 12, it is difficult to cause wrinkles in the resin tube 13 that is mounted on the surface of the tube covering roll 30. The effect is also obtained.
