  By the way, in the said seismic isolation apparatus, since the plug member is shape | molded by pressurizing powder material, it is easy to form a space | gap in a plug member. Therefore, in the method for manufacturing a seismic isolation device for forming the seismic isolation device, a compression process is performed in which the plug member located in the hole is pressed and compressed in the stacking direction to reduce and eliminate the gap in the plug member. Thus, it can be considered that the plug member is accommodated in the hole portion at a high density.

  However, in the manufacturing method of the seismic isolation device, the pressure applied to the plug member is likely to increase during the compression process, and there is a risk that the plug member or the laminate may be damaged, for example.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the situation mentioned above, The objective is to provide the manufacturing method of the seismic isolation apparatus which can suppress the applied pressure in the case of a compression process low.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
The manufacturing method of the seismic isolation device according to the present invention includes a main body member having a laminate in which elastic plates and rigid plates are alternately laminated, and a hole in the main body member that penetrates in the stacking direction of the laminate. A method of manufacturing a seismic isolation device comprising: a plug member housed in a base member; and a pair of lid members sandwiched between the plug members from both sides in the stacking direction and separately fixed to the main body member A compression step of pressing and compressing the plug member positioned in the hole in the stacking direction, and a temperature difference applying step of increasing the temperature of the stacked body relative to the temperature of the plug member; After the compression step and the temperature difference applying step, the lid member is fixed to the body member, and the plug member is sandwiched between the pair of lid members from both sides in the stacking direction, The sandwiching process is Temperature of the serial laminate which comprises carrying out at higher than the temperature of the plug member.

In the present invention, the sandwiching step is performed in a state where the temperature of the laminated body is higher than the temperature of the plug member, so that the plug member is sandwiched from both sides in the stacking direction by the pair of lid members. Heat is transferred to the plug member and the surrounding environment. Then, the elastic plate of the laminated body contracts in the laminating direction, so that the main body member contracts in the laminating direction, and a pair of lid members move close to each other with the plug member sandwiched in the laminating direction. The member will be compressed.
As described above, after the compression process, the plug member can be compressed in the stacking direction to the pair of lid members by utilizing the contraction of the elastic plate. For example, the plug member or the laminated body can be prevented from being damaged.

  Moreover, you may implement the said compression process in the case of the said temperature difference provision process.

In this case, since the compression step is performed during the temperature difference applying step, the working efficiency can be improved as compared with, for example, the case where these steps are performed at different timings.
Furthermore, since the compression process is performed during the temperature difference application process, for example, the compression process is performed after the temperature difference application process, so that the temperature difference between the laminated body and the plug member is maintained large. A process can be performed. Accordingly, it is possible to easily apply a large compressive force to the plug member by utilizing the contraction of the elastic plate, and the pressure applied to the plug member can be further suppressed during the compression process.

  Moreover, the said temperature difference provision process may raise the temperature of the said laminated body relatively with respect to the temperature of the said plug member by heating the said laminated body.

  In this case, the temperature difference applying step increases the temperature of the laminated body relative to the temperature of the plug member by heating the laminated body. For example, the laminated body is heated not from the hole side but from the outer peripheral side. It becomes possible to implement a temperature difference provision process by heating etc., and the workability | operativity of the said temperature difference provision process can be improved.

  According to the method for manufacturing a seismic isolation device of the present invention, the applied pressure during the compression process can be kept low.

Hereinafter, with reference to drawings, the seismic isolation apparatus produced using the manufacturing method of the seismic isolation apparatus concerning one embodiment of the present invention is explained.
As shown in FIG. 1, the seismic isolation device 10 includes a main body member 14 having a laminated body 13 in which elastic plates 11 and rigid plates 12 are alternately laminated, and a laminating direction D of the laminated body 13 on the main body member 14. A plug member 16 accommodated in a hole portion 15 penetrating into the body, and a pair of lid members 17 sandwiched between the plug member 16 from both sides in the stacking direction D and fixed to the body member 14 separately. I have.
The stacking direction D is equivalent to the vertical direction, and the seismic isolation device 10 is interposed between a lower structure (not shown) such as a foundation and an upper structure (not shown) such as a building body, and the upper structure Is supported so as to be horizontally movable relative to the lower structure.

  The elastic plate 11 is an elastically deformable soft plate made of an elastic material such as a rubber material. The rigid plate 12 is a hard plate made of, for example, a steel plate, and has higher rigidity in the stacking direction D and the horizontal direction than the elastic plate 11. The elastic plate 11 and the rigid plate 12 are formed in a disk shape and are arranged coaxially, and the laminated body 13 has a cylindrical shape extending in the laminating direction D.

  The laminate 13 can be sheared in the horizontal direction. The upper surface and the lower surface of the laminate 13 are constituted by the elastic plate 11. The outer peripheral surface of the laminated body 13 is configured by a covering portion 18 that covers the outer periphery of the elastic plate 11 and the rigid plate 12 over the entire periphery. The covering portion 18 is integrally formed of the same material as the elastic plate 11.

  Here, the main body member 14 is provided with a pair of flange plates 19 that sandwich the laminated body 13 in the laminating direction D. These flange plates 19 are disk-like hard plates having higher rigidity in the laminating direction D and the horizontal direction than the rigid plate 12, and are made of, for example, a steel plate. The flange plate 19 is arranged coaxially with the laminated body 13 and has a larger diameter than the laminated body 13. The flange plate 19 is fixed to the lower structure or the upper structure by, for example, anchor bolts.

  The hole 15 is formed in a columnar shape arranged coaxially with the main body member 14. The hole portion 15 includes a pair of large-diameter portions 15a formed in each of the pair of flange plates 19 and opening toward the outside in the stacking direction D, and a small-diameter portion 15b communicating these large-diameter portions 15a. It is a multistage columnar shape. The large diameter portion 15a constitutes an opening end portion of the hole portion 15 in the stacking direction D. The large diameter portion 15 a is disposed on the flange plate 19 in a limited manner and is not disposed on the laminate 13.

The size of the main body member 14 along the stacking direction D increases as the elastic plate 11 thermally expands.
Here, the main body member 14 is formed, for example, by vulcanizing the unvulcanized elastic plate 11 and the covering portion 18 together with the plurality of rigid plates 12 and the flange plate 19 so as to be vulcanized and bonded to each other. The elastic plate 11 and the covering portion 18 may be made of a material other than a rubber material, for example, a soft resin material. Further, the flange plate 19 and the rigid plate 12 may be other than a steel plate, for example, a plate material made of a hard resin material.

The lid member 17 is disposed in the large-diameter portion 15a of the hole portion 15 and is fixed to the flange plate 19, and closes the large-diameter portion 15a. The lid member 17 is formed in a two-stage disk shape in which the inner portion 17 a in the stacking direction D has a diameter smaller than that of the outer portion 17 b and is disposed coaxially with the main body member 14. The outer portion 17b of the lid member 17 is fitted into the large diameter portion 15a, and the inner portion 17a is fitted into the small diameter portion 15b. The inner portion 17a is limitedly arranged in a portion located inside the flange plate 19 in the small diameter portion 15b, and is not arranged in a portion located inside the laminated body 13.
The lid member 17 is fastened to the flange plate 19 by a bolt inserted into the outer portion 17b from the outer side in the stacking direction D. The outer surface of the lid member 17 facing the outside in the stacking direction D is flush with the outer surface of the flange plate 19. The lid member 17 may be fixed to the flange plate 19 by other methods such as welding.

  The plug member 16 is a damping plug that absorbs vibration energy by plastic deformation during the shear deformation of the laminate 13. The plug member 16 is accommodated in the plug space 20 located between the pair of lid members 17 in the hole portion 15. The plug member 16 is press-fitted into the plug space 20 and filled without a gap. The plug member 16 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose surface is in pressure contact with the inner surface of the plug space 20 and arranged coaxially with the main body member 14. Both end surfaces of the plug member 16 in the stacking direction D are positioned outside the stack 13 in the stacking direction D. In the example shown in the figure, the plug member 16 is composed of two plug divided bodies 21 divided in the stacking direction D. However, the plug member 16 may not be divided and is constituted by three or more plug divided bodies 21. Also good.

Here, the plug member 16 is formed by pressing a powder material. The plug member 16 is formed, for example, by filling and pressing the powder material in a mold (not shown). The powder material is, for example, a mixture of a hard filler and a plastic fluidizing material that fills a gap between the hard fillers. Examples of the hard filler include metal powders and metal compounds such as copper powder, stainless steel powder, zirconium powder, tungsten powder, bronze powder, aluminum powder, nickel powder, molybdenum powder, titanium powder, and iron powder. . Examples of the plastic fluid material include an elastomer component, a resin, carbon black, a plasticizer, and a softening material. Examples of the elastomer component include natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber, acrylic rubber, silicone rubber, polyurethane, and urethane elastomer. Examples of the resin include rosin resin and phenol resin. Examples of the plasticizer include phthalic acid, maleic acid, and citric acid. Examples of the softening material include castor oil, linseed oil, and rapeseed oil.
Note that the composition, content, combination, and the like of the hard filler and the plastic fluidizing material can be appropriately changed according to the performance desired for the plug member 16.

In the seismic isolation device manufacturing method for forming the seismic isolation device 10 configured as described above, first, a member forming step for separately forming the main body member 14, the plug member 16, and the lid member 17 is performed.
At this time, the plug member 16 is formed so that the outer diameter of the plug member 16 is equal to the inner diameter of the small diameter portion 15 b of the hole portion 15. Further, the plug member 16 is formed so that the weight of the plug member 16 becomes a weight calculated based on a necessary weight calculated by multiplying the volume of the plug space 20 by the density of the powder material. For example, the plug member 16 may be formed by combining a plurality of plug division bodies 21 having different sizes and adjusting the weight. The plurality of plug division bodies 21 may include plug division bodies 21 (spacers) for weight adjustment.

In the present embodiment, for example, the plug member 16 is formed so that the filling rate, which is the ratio of the weight of the plug member 16 to the necessary weight, is 0.98 to 1.00. The volume of the plug space 20 is, for example, the volume of the plug space 20 when the temperature of the main body member 14 is a design temperature (for example, 20 ° C.) when the seismic isolation device 10 is actually used.
Here, since the plug member 16 is formed by pressurizing the powder material, a gap is easily formed in the plug member 16. When the weight of the plug member 16 is adjusted in this way, the plug member 16 is plugged. The volume of the member 16 is larger than the volume of the plug space 20.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a fixing step of fixing the lower lid member 17 (one side in the stacking direction) of the pair of lid members 17 to the main body member 14 is performed. At this time, the lower lid member 17 is fixed to the lower flange plate 19, and the lower lid member 17 and the body member 14 form a plug space that opens upward (the other side in the stacking direction). A portion 20 </ b> A is defined in the hole 15. Thereafter, the inner surface of the planned forming portion 20A may be cleaned with, for example, a dry waste.
In the fixing step and the following steps, the main body member 14, the plug member 16 and the lid member 17 may be checked for visual damage, for example, for unintended bulges and scratches.

  Then, the arrangement | positioning process which positions the plug member 16 in the hole 15 is implemented. At this time, the plug member 16 is press-fitted into the hole portion 15 through the upper large-diameter portion 15a in the hole portion 15 and pushed into the formation scheduled portion 20A from above. Then, the lower end surface of the plug member 16 abuts on the lower lid member 17, and the upper end surface of the plug member 16 is positioned above the opening surface 22 on the upper side of the formation planned portion 20A.

  In addition, a temperature difference applying step for increasing the temperature of the laminated body 13 relative to the temperature of the plug member 16 is performed. At this time, the laminated body 13 is heated from the covering portion 18 by a heating means (not shown), so that the temperature of the laminated body 13 is relatively increased with respect to the temperature of the plug member 16. Then, the elastic plate 11 is thermally expanded, so that the size of the main body member 14 along the stacking direction D increases.

Further, in the temperature difference applying step, as shown in FIG. 3, a compression step is performed in which the plug member 16 positioned in the hole 15 is pressed and compressed in the stacking direction D by the pressing means 23. In the compression step, the plug member 16 is positioned so that the end surface of the plug member 16 is positioned on the upper opening surface 22 of the planned formation portion 20A when the pressure applied to the plug member 16 by the pressurizing means 23 is released. Is pressed in the stacking direction D.
In the present embodiment, when the pressurization by the pressurizing means 23 is released, the plug member 16 is pushed in from the outer peripheral side by the restoring force of the elastic plate 11 of the laminated body 13 and slightly pushed back upward. Can be pushed back. Therefore, in the compression step, the plug member 16 is pressurized so that the end surface of the plug member 16 is below the opening surface 22 in consideration of the pushback.

After the compression process and the temperature difference application process, the upper lid member 17 is fixed to the main body member 14, and a sandwiching process is performed in which the plug member 16 is sandwiched between the pair of lid members 17 from both sides in the stacking direction D.
In the present embodiment, this sandwiching step is performed in a state where the temperature of the stacked body 13 is higher than the temperature of the plug member 16.

In this way, the sandwiching process is performed in a state where the temperature of the laminated body 13 is higher than the temperature of the plug member 16, so that the plug member 16 is sandwiched from both sides in the stacking direction D by the pair of lid members 17. Then, heat is transferred from the laminate 13 to the plug member 16 and the surrounding environment. Then, the elastic plate 11 of the laminate 13 contracts in the stacking direction D, so that the main body member 14 contracts in the stacking direction D, and the pair of lid members 17 sandwich the plug member 16 in the stacking direction D. The plug member 16 is compressed by moving closer in the state.
Thus, the seismic isolation device 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is formed.

  As described above, according to the manufacturing method of the seismic isolation device according to the present embodiment, the plug member 16 is attached to the pair of lid members 17 by using the contraction of the elastic plate 11 after the compression step. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the pressure applied to the plug member 16 during the compression process, and for example, damage to the plug member 16 and the laminated body 13 can be suppressed.

In addition, since the compression process is performed at the time of the temperature difference application process, it is possible to improve work efficiency compared to, for example, the case where these processes are performed at different timings.
Furthermore, since the compression step is performed during the temperature difference application step, for example, a state in which the temperature difference between the stacked body 13 and the plug member 16 is largely maintained as compared with the case where the compression step is performed after the temperature difference application step. The sandwiching step can be carried out. Thereby, it is possible to easily apply a large compressive force to the plug member 16 by utilizing the contraction of the elastic plate 11, and the pressure applied to the plug member 16 can be further suppressed during the compression process.

  Moreover, since the temperature of the laminated body 13 is relatively increased with respect to the temperature of the plug member 16 by heating the laminated body 13 in the temperature difference applying step, for example, as in the present embodiment, the laminated body 13 is It becomes possible to carry out the temperature difference applying step by heating from the covering portion 18 side (outer peripheral side) instead of from the hole 15 side, and the workability of the temperature difference applying step can be improved.

  In addition, since the plug member 16 is formed so that the weight of the plug member 16 becomes a weight calculated based on the necessary weight in the member forming step, the plug member 16 is independent of the gap amount in the plug member 16. Can be reliably accommodated in the plug space 20 with a high density, and the horizontal performance of the seismic isolation device 10 such as the secondary rigidity and the post-yield load can be easily ensured.

The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, the powder material is not limited to a mixture of a hard filler and a plastic fluid material, and the present invention may be applied to a method for manufacturing a seismic isolation device having other plug members having different configurations.

  In the embodiment, the plug member 16 is formed so that the weight of the plug member 16 is calculated based on the necessary weight in the member forming step. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the plug member may be formed so that the volume of the plug member becomes a volume calculated based on the volume of the plug space.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the compression process shall be implemented after an arrangement | positioning process, it is not restricted to this, You may implement an arrangement | positioning process and a compression process in parallel. That is, the plug member may be compressed by pressing in the stacking direction while being inserted into the hole.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the fixing process shall be implemented, it is not restricted to this. For example, without performing the fixing step, the plug member is pressed from both sides in the stacking direction by the pressing means during the compression step, and both the pair of lid members are fixed to the main body member separately during the sandwiching step. May be. Furthermore, the lower lid member may be formed integrally with the main body member, and the lower lid member may be fixed to the main body member in advance.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, in the temperature difference provision process, by heating the laminated body 13, the temperature of the laminated body 13 was made relatively high with respect to the temperature of the plug member 16, but it is not restricted to this. . For example, the temperature of the plug member may be cooled.
Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although the compression process shall be implemented in the case of a temperature difference provision process, it is not restricted to this.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the cover member 17 shall be arrange | positioned in the large diameter part 15a and the outer surface of the cover member 17 shall be flush with the outer surface of the flange board 19, it is not restricted to this. For example, the lid member may be located outside the flange plate in the stacking direction.
Further, the flange plate 19 may be omitted.

  In addition, it is possible to appropriately replace the constituent elements in the embodiment with known constituent elements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-described modified examples may be appropriately combined.

  Next, the verification test about the effect demonstrated above was implemented.

In this verification test, in the manufacturing method of the seismic isolation device shown in the above embodiment, the conditions in the temperature difference application process were varied, and the applied pressure required in the compression process was measured under each condition.
In the temperature difference application step, the temperature of the plug members was made common at 15 ° C., and the temperature of the laminate was varied. Further, the pressurizing force required in the compression step is that the end surface of the plug member is positioned on the upper opening surface of the planned formation portion when the pressurization to the plug member by the pressurizing device is released. In addition, it means a pressing force that needs to pressurize the plug member in the stacking direction.

  The results are shown in FIG. In the graph shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal axis indicates the temperature (° C.) of the laminated body in the temperature difference applying step. The vertical axis represents the ratio (%) of the applied pressure required in the compression step to the applied pressure applied to the plug member during molding of the plug member (hereinafter referred to as the applied pressure ratio). In general, the lower the ratio of the applied pressures, the harder the elastic plate is damaged. For example, it is preferably about 60%.

  From FIG. 4, it was confirmed that the higher the temperature of the laminate, the smaller the ratio of the applied pressures, and the more the applied pressure required during the compression process tends to be reduced. Moreover, when the temperature of the laminated body was 25 ° C. or higher and the temperature of the laminated body was higher by 10 ° C. or higher than the temperature of the plug member, it was confirmed that the ratio of the applied pressure was about 60%.
