【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は,ブースタシェルに,その内部を前部シェル室と後部シェル室とに仕切る隔壁板を設け,前部シェル室には,該室を前側の前部負圧室と後側の前部作動室とに区画する前部ブースタピストンを前後往復動可能に収容し,また後部シェル室には,該室を前側の後部負圧室と後側の後部作動室とに区画する後部ブースタピストンを前後往復動可能に収容し,これら前部及び後部ブースタピストン間を連結するピストンボスを隔壁板に,該板に装着された弾性材からなる軸受け・シール部材を介して摺動自在に支承した,タンデム型負圧ブースタに関し,特に,前記軸受けシール部材を前記隔壁板に取付け,この単一の部材により前記ピストンボスの支持とハウジング前後間の気密を同時に達成するようにした軸受け・シール装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
かゝるタンデム型負圧ブースタの軸受け・シール装置は,例えば実公5−47019号公報に開示されているように,既に知られている。
【0003】
上記公報に開示されたものでは,前記ブースタシェルの隔壁板に,その内周端から後方へ突出して前記ピストンボスを囲繞すると共に,後端に内向き鍔を有する円筒状のハウジングを形成し,その内向き鍔に係止される軸受け・シール部材をハウジングに収納している。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の上記構成では,隔壁板の円筒状ハウジングの後端には,軸受け・シール部材を係止するための内向き鍔が形成されているため,その内向き鍔を除くハウジングの円筒部とピストンボスとの間には,必然的に半径幅が大きい収容スペースができるので,この収容スペースに嵌装される軸受け・シール部材は,半径方向の肉厚が大とならざるを得ない。しかしながら,軸受け・シール部材の半径方向の肉厚が大となると,その部分の剛性が大幅に弱まり,該部材の軸受け機能が低下することになり,ピストンボスの進退時,姿勢変化により摺動抵抗が増加することがある。そこで,軸受け・シール部材の軸受け機能を高めるべく,それを比較的硬い弾性材で成形すると,今度はシール機能が低下するという弊害が生ずることになる。
【0005】
本発明は,かゝる点に鑑みてなされたもので,ピストンボスに対する軸受け機能及びシール機能の両方を満足させ得る,前記タンデム型負圧ブースタの軸受け・シール装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、ブースタシェルに、その内部を前部シェル室と後部シェル室とに仕切る隔壁板を設け、前部シェル室には、該室を前側の前部負圧室と後側の前部作動室とに区画する前部ブースタピストンを前後往復動可能に収容し、また後部シェル室には、該室を前側の後部負圧室と後側の後部作動室とに区画する後部ブースタピストンを前後往復動可能に収容し、これら前部及び後部ブースタピストン間を連結するピストンボスを隔壁板に、該板に装着された弾性材からなる軸受け・シール部材を介して摺動自在に支承した、タンデム型負圧ブースタの軸受け・シール装置において、前記隔壁板に、その内周端から後方へ突出して前記ピストンボスを筒状間隙を存して囲繞する内径が一様な円筒状のハウジングを形成する一方、このハウジングの内周面に嵌合されて前記ピストンボスの外周面を摺動自在に支承する円筒状の軸受け部と、この軸受け部の後端から半径方向外方へ鉤状に屈曲して、前記ハウジングの後端部を嵌合させる環状溝を画成する鉤状部と、同軸受け部の前端から半径方向外方へ突出して前記隔壁板の前面に当接する鍔部と、同軸受け部の前端に同軸で連なり、前記ハウジング外の前方に延びて前記ピストンボスの外周面に摺動自在に密接するシールリップ部とを弾性材により一体成形して、ピストンボスに対する軸受け機能及びシール機能を両方とも満足させ得る単一の部材として前記軸受け・シール部材を構成し、前記軸受け部の内周面には、周方向に配列する多数の軸方向溝と、これら軸方向溝の前端部相互を連通する環状溝とからなるグリース溜めを形成して、前記ピストンボスの外周面に摺動自在に接触し各軸方向溝の後端部を閉じる環状ランド部と、この環状ランド部から前方に各々延びて前記ピストンボスの外周面に摺動自在に各々接触する多数の軸方向ランド部とを残存させ、前記グリース溜めに潤滑用グリースを充填するようにしたことを第1の特徴とする。
【0007】
この第1の特徴によれば、ハウジングが一様な内径の円筒状をなしているため、そのハウジング及びピストンボス間の環状間隙を充分につめて、その間に配置される軸受け部を肉厚の薄いものとすることが可能となり、これにより軸受け部は適度な剛性を持ち、良好な軸受け機能を発揮することができ、したがってピストンボスの移動姿勢を安定させ、その摺動抵抗を軽減することができる。しかも、軸受け・シール部材は、上記軸受け部と、後述する鉤状部、鍔部及びシールリップ部とを弾性材により一体成形して、ピストンボスに対する軸受け機能及びシール機能を両方とも満足させ得る単一の部材とするものであり、特に軸受け部の前後端に連設された鉤状部及び鍔部がハウジングを前後から把持することにより、ハウジングに保持されるので、専用の保持部材は不要であり、その取付け構造の簡素化を図ることができ、また、上記軸受け部の前端に同軸で連なるシールリップ部は、ハウジング外の前方に配置されて、ピストンボスの外周面に密接するので、このシールリップ部の肉厚をハウジングに干渉されることなく自由に選定することで、シール機能に適した弾性を得ることができ、シールリップ部のシール機能を効果的に高めることができる。
【0009】
また上記軸受け部の内周面には、周方向に並ぶ軸方向溝と、これら溝の前端部相互を連通する環状溝とからなるグリース溜めが形成されているため、そのグリース溜めに詰めたグリースによってピストンボスの全周面を万遍無く潤滑して、その摺動を一層スムーズにすることができる。しかも、このグリース溜めに隣接し、ピストンボスの外周面に摺動自在に各々接触する環状ランド部及び軸方向ランド部によって軸受け部の内周面の剛性は確保できるので、ピストンボスの安定支持に支障を来すこともない。
【0010】
【実施の形態】
以下,本発明の実施の形態を,添付図面に示す本発明の一実施例に基づいて説明する。
【0011】
図1は本発明の実施例に係る自動車のブレーキ用負圧ブースタの縦断側面図,図2は図1の2部拡大図,図3は図2の3−3線断面図,図4は軸受け・シール部材の内周面の一部展開図である。
【0012】
図1において,負圧ブースタBのブースタシェル1は,開放端を相互に結合する椀状の前部シェル1a及び後部シェル1bと,両シェル1a,1b間に挟止されてブースタシェル1内部を前部シェル室2と後部シェル室3とに仕切る隔壁板1cとから構成され,その後部シェル1bが自動車の車室前壁に固定され,前部シェル1aにブレーキ用マスタシリンダシリンダMが取付けられる。
【0013】
前部シェル室2は,それに前後往復動可能に収容される前部ブースタピストン4と,その後面に重ねて結着されると共に前部シェル1aと隔壁板1c間に挟着される前部ダイヤフラム5とにより,前側の前部負圧室2aと後側の前部作動室2bとに区画される。そして,前部負圧室2aは,負圧導入管14を介して負圧源V,例えばエンジンの吸気マニホールド内部と接続される。
【0014】
また後部シェル室3は,それに前後往復動可能に収容される後部ブースタピストン6と,その後面に重ねて結着され,且つ隔壁板1cと共に両シェル1a,1b間に固着される後部ダイヤフラム7とにより,前側の後部負圧室3aと後側の後部作動室3bとに区画される。
【0015】
前,後部ブースタピストン4,6はそれぞれ鋼板により環状に成形されており,これらは中心部に固着される合成樹脂製のピストンボス10を介して一体に連結される。
【0016】
ピストンボス10は,隔壁板1cに軸受け・シール部材11を介して,また後部シェル1bの中心部に形成された後方延長筒12にシール部材13を介して摺動自在に支承される。両ブースタピストン4,6の後退限は,後部ダイヤフラム7の後面に多数隆起させた突起7aがブースタシェル1の後壁に当接することにより規定される。
【0017】
ピストンボス10は,それと一体の中間隔壁10cを挟んで前後に並ぶ前部室10aと後部室10bを備える。その中間隔壁10cの後端面には有底のシリンダ孔16が形成されており,これに弁ピストン17が摺動自在に嵌合される。この弁ピストン17には,前記後方延長筒12の後端から後部室10bに挿入された入力杆19の前端部が首振り可能に連結され,またこの入力杆19の後端には,操縦者によって踏み込み操作されるブレーキペダルPが連結される。
【0018】
弁ピストン17は,その後端面から後部室10b側へ突出した円錐状の第1弁座231 を一体に備えており,その第1弁座231 を環状通路22を存して囲繞する環状の第2弁座232 が前記中間隔壁10cの後面に突設される。そして,これら弁座231 ,232 と協働する弁体24が,後部室10bの内周面に嵌着された弁体保持筒26によって保持される。
【0019】
弁体24は,第1及び第2弁座231 ,232 に対して進退し得る共通の環状弁部24aを有しており,その弁部24aと入力杆19との間に,弁部24aを両弁座231 ,232 との着座方向へ付勢する弁ばね27が縮設される。これら第1,第2弁座231 ,232 ,弁体24及び弁ばね27によって制御弁28が構成される。
【0020】
ピストンボス10には,前後の作動室2b,3b間を連通する第1連通路361 と,前後の負圧室2a,3a間を連通する第2連通路362 と,前記環状通路22に上記第1連結路361 を連通する第1ポート381 と,第2連通路362 を第2弁座232 の外周側に連通する第2ポート382 とが形成される。
【0021】
入力杆19と弁体保持筒26との間には,入力杆19を後退方向に付勢する入力杆戻しばね32が縮設される。
【0022】
前記後方延長筒12の後端には,内向きフランジ12aが一体に形成されており,この内向きフランジ12aの中心部が大気に開口する大気導入口29となっている。この内向きフランジ12aの内側面に当接して入力杆19の最終後退限を規定するストッパ30が入力杆19に前後方向調節可能に固着される。このストッパ30には通気孔31が穿設されている。
【0023】
ピストンボス10の後端部内周には,エアフィルタ34が装着され,それを通して第1弁座231 の内周は大気導入口29と常時連通している。上記エアフィルタ34は,入力杆19のピストンボス10に対する前後動を妨げないように柔軟性を有する。
【0024】
前部負圧室2aの中心部には,ブースタシェル1の前壁を貫通する出力杆46が配設され,ピストンボス10,弁ピストン17及び出力杆46の三者を連結する反力機構39がピストンボス10の前部室10aに設けられる。この反力機構39は,中間隔壁10cの前面に突設された大径ピストン40と,この大径ピストン40の前面中心部に開口するように中間隔壁10cを貫通する小径シリンダ孔41と,前記弁ピストン17の前端面に突設されて,この小径シリンダ孔41に摺動自在に嵌合された小径ピストン42と,大径ピストン40の外周に摺動自在に嵌合するカップ体44と,このカップ体44内に充填されて大径及び小径ピストン40,42に対向する,ゴム等の弾性材からなる弾性ピストン45とから構成される。カップ体44には,その前端面から突出するように前記出力杆46が一体に形成される。この出力杆46は前記ブレーキマスタシリンダMのピストンMaに連接される。
【0025】
ピストンボス10の前部室10aの中間段部49に,カップ体44の前端面を覆うリテーナ47が重ねられ,このリテーナ47とブースタシェル1の前壁との間に,ピストンボス10を後方へ付勢するピストン戻しばね48が縮設される。
【0026】
而して,車両を制動すべくブレーキペダルPを踏込めば,入力杆29は,第1弁座231 を有する弁ピストン17を伴って前進するが,当初,前,後部ブースタピストン4,6及びピストンボス10は不動であるから,第1弁座231 が弁体24の弁部24aから直ちに離れて,両作動室2b,3bに連なる第1ポート381 を環状通路22を介して大気導入口29に連通させる。一方,第2弁座232 には,弁体24の弁部24aが弁ばね27の弾発力をもって着座し,両負圧室2a,3aに連なる第2ポート382 と環状通路22間を遮断している。その結果,大気導入口29からピストンボス10内に流入した大気は第1弁座231 を通過し,第1ポート381 を経て両作動室2b,3bに導入され,該室2b,3bを両負圧室2a,3aより高圧にするので,それらの気圧差に基づく大きな前進力を得て前部及び後部ブースタピストン4,6は,ピストンボス10を伴い,ピストン戻しばね48の力に抗して前進するので,大径ピストン40が弾性ピストン45を介してカップ体44,即ち出力杆46を前方へ押動してブレーキマスタシリンダMのピストンMaを駆動する。こうして,ブレーキマスタシリンダMをブレーキペダルPの踏込み力に応じて作動させ,車両に制動かけることができる。そのとき,弾性ピストン45の後端面には,大径ピストン40に加わる両ブースタピストン4,6の前進力と,入力杆19から小径ピストン42に入力される操縦者の踏力とが作用し,またその前端面には出力杆46の作動反力が作用し,これによって弾性ピストン45は前後に圧縮される。その結果,出力杆46の作動反力の一部が弾性ピストン45から小径ピストン42を介して弁ピストン17,したがって入力杆19に伝達されることになり,操縦者は出力杆46の出力,即ち制動力の大きさを感受することができる。
【0027】
ブレーキペダルPに対する踏力を解除すると,入力杆19及び弁ピストン17は入力杆戻しばね32の反発力によりピストンボス10に対して後退するので,第1弁座231 が弁体24の弁部24aに着座すると共に,弁ばね27のセット荷重に抗して弁体24の弁部24aを後退させてその弁部24aを第2弁座232 から離座させる。その結果,両作動室2b,3bが第1ポート381 ,環状通路22及び第2ポート382 を介して両負圧室2a,3aと連通するので,両作動室2b,3bへの大気の導入が阻止されると共に,両作動室2b,3bの空気が両負圧室2a,3aに移動し,負圧限Vへと吸入される。これに伴い負圧室2a,3a及び作動室2b,3b間の気圧差が無くなると,前,後部ブースタピストン4,6及びピストンボス10はピストン戻しばね48の反発力でピストンボス10と共に後退し,マスタシリンダMの作動を解除していく。そして,前,後部ブースタピストン4,6及びピストンボス10が後退限に到達する手前で,入力杆19は先に後退限に到達して,弁ピストン17と共に停止し,その後の僅かなピストンボス10の後退により,第2弁座232 を弁体24の弁部24aに着座させ,休止状態に戻る。
【0028】
負圧ブースタBのこのような作動中,ブースタシェル1の隔壁板1cに取付けられた軸受け・シール部材11は,ピストンボス10の軸方向移動を案内しながら,ピストンボス10の外周面において前部作動室2b及び後部負圧室3a間のシールを行う。
【0029】
さて,図2〜図4により,この軸受け・シール部材11及びその取付け構造について説明する。
【0030】
ブースタシェル1の隔壁板1cに、その内周端から後方へ突出して前記ピストンボス10を筒状間隙を存して囲繞する内径が一様な円筒状のハウジング50が形成される。
【0031】
一方,軸受け・シール部材11は,ゴム等の弾性材により一体成形されたもので,円筒状の軸受け部51と,この軸受け部51の一端から半径方向外方へ鉤状に屈曲して,該一端部外周に環状溝52を画成する鉤状部53と,軸受け部51の他端部から半径方向外方に突出する鍔部54と,軸受け部51の他端部に同軸で連なるシールリップ部55とから構成される。
【0032】
軸受け部51の内周面には,周方向に配列する多数の軸方向溝56a,56a…と,これら軸方向溝56a,56a…の前端部相互を連通する環状溝56bとからなるグリース溜め56が形成され,これに潤滑用グリースが充填される。グリース溜め56の凹設に伴い軸受け部51の内周面には,環状ランド部57と,この環状ランド部57から前方に延びる多数の軸方向ランド部58,58…とが残存する。
【0033】
この軸受け・シール部材11のハウジング50への取付に当たり,軸受け部51は,隔壁板1cのハウジング50内周面に嵌装され,鉤状部53は,環状溝52にハウジング50の後端部を係合させるように配置され,鍔部54は隔壁板1cの前面に当接するように配置される。
【0034】
こうして,軸受け・シール部材11は,鉤状部53と鍔部54とによってハウジング50の定位置に保持されるもので,この軸受け・シール部材11の内周面にピストンボス10を嵌挿すると,軸受け部51の内面,即ち環状ランド部57,58及び軸方向ランド部58,58…はピストンボス10を摺動自在に支承し,またシールリップ部55は,ハウジング50から前方に露出してピストンボス10の外周面に摺動自在に密接する。
【0035】
次に,この実施例の作用について説明する。
【0036】
前,後部ブースタピストン4,6と共にピストンボス10が前後動するとき,隔壁板1cのハウジング50に取付けられた軸受け・シール部材11の軸受け部51によってピストンボス10の姿勢が規制され,またシールリップ部55によってピストンボス10上での前部作動室2b及び後部負圧室3a間の気密が保持される。
【0037】
その際,特に,ハウジング50は,鍔を持たない単純な円筒状をなしているから,このハウジング50及びピストンボス10間の環状間隙を充分につめて,その間に配置される軸受け部51を肉厚の薄いものとすることが可能となる。これにより軸受け部51は適度な剛性を持ち,良好な軸受け機能を発揮することができるので,ピストンボス10の移動姿勢を安定させ,その摺動抵抗を軽減することができる。
【0038】
しかも,軸受け部51の内周面には,その周方向に並ぶ多数の軸方向溝56a,56a…と,これら軸方向溝56a,56a…の前端部相互を連通する環状溝56bとからなるグリース溜め56が形成されているから,これに詰めたグリースによってピストンボス10のの外周面を万遍無く潤滑することができ,したがって軸受け部51に対するピストンボス10の摺動を一層スムーズにすることができる。しかも,これらグリース溜め56に隣接する環状ランド部57及び多数の軸方向ランド部58,58…によって軸受け部51の内周面の剛性は確保できるので,ピストンボス10の安定支持に支障を来すこともない。
【0039】
また,軸受け・シール部材11は,軸受け部51の前後端に連設された鉤状部53及び鍔部54がハウジング50を前後から把持することにより,ハウジング50に保持されるので,専用の保持部材は不要であり,その取付け構造の簡素化を図ることができる。
【0040】
一方,軸受け・シール部材11のシールリップ部55は,ハウジング50外の前方に配置されて,ピストンボス10の外周面に密接するので,このシールリップ部55の肉厚をハウジング50に干渉されることなく自由に選定して,シール機能に適した弾性を得ることができ,したがって,シールリップ部55のシール機能を効果的に高めることができる。
【0041】
本発明は,上記実施例に限定するものではなく,その要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の設計変更を行うことができる。
【0042】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、ブースタシェルの隔壁板にその内周端から後方へ突出してピストンボスを筒状間隙を存して囲繞するよう形成されるハウジングが、一様な内径の円筒状をなしているので、そのハウジング及びピストンボス間の環状間隙を充分に詰めることができて、その間に配置される軸受け部を肉厚の薄いものとすることが可能となり、これにより軸受け部は適度な剛性を持ち、良好な軸受け機能を発揮することができ、したがってピストンボスの移動姿勢を安定させ、その摺動抵抗を軽減することができる。しかも、軸受け・シール部材は、上記軸受け部と、後述する鉤状部、鍔部及びシールリップ部とを弾性材により一体成形して、ピストンボスに対する軸受け機能及びシール機能を両方とも満足させ得る単一の部材とするものであり、特に軸受け部の前後端に連設された鉤状部及び鍔部がハウジングを前後から把持することにより、ハウジングに保持されるので、専用の保持部材は不要であり、その取付け構造の簡素化を図ることができ、また、上記軸受け部の前端に同軸で連なるシールリップ部は、ハウジング外の前方に配置されて、ピストンボスの外周面に密接するので、このシールリップ部の肉厚をハウジングに干渉されることなく自由に選定することで、シール機能に適した弾性を得ることができ、シールリップ部のシール機能を効果的に高めることができる。
【0043】
また上記軸受け部の内周面には、周方向に並ぶ軸方向溝と、これら溝の前端部相互を連通する環状溝とからなるグリース溜めが形成されているので、そのグリース溜めに詰めたグリースによってピストンボスの全周面を万遍無く潤滑して、その摺動を一層スムーズにすることができる。しかも、このグリース溜めに隣接し、ピストンボス外周面に摺動自在に各々接触する環状ランド部及び多数の軸方向ランド部によって軸受け部の内周面の剛性は確保できるので、ピストンボスの安定支持に支障を来すこともない。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a booster shell provided with a partition plate that divides the interior of the booster shell into a front shell chamber and a rear shell chamber. The front shell chamber is divided into a front negative pressure chamber on the front side and a front front chamber on the rear side. A front booster piston that divides into a working chamber is accommodated in a reciprocating manner, and a rear booster piston that divides the chamber into a front negative pressure chamber and a rear rear working chamber is provided in the rear shell chamber. The piston boss, which is housed so as to be able to reciprocate back and forth, and connects between the front and rear booster pistons, is slidably supported on the partition plate via a bearing / seal member made of an elastic material attached to the plate. The present invention relates to a tandem negative pressure booster, and more particularly, to a bearing / seal device in which the bearing seal member is attached to the partition plate, and the piston boss is supported and airtight between the front and rear of the housing is simultaneously achieved by this single member.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Such a tandem negative pressure booster bearing / seal device is already known as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-47019.
[0003]
In the above-mentioned publication, a cylindrical housing having an inward flange at the rear end is formed on the partition plate of the booster shell so as to protrude rearward from the inner peripheral end thereof and surround the piston boss. A bearing / seal member that is locked to the inward flange is housed in the housing.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional configuration described above, an inward flange for locking the bearing / seal member is formed at the rear end of the cylindrical housing of the partition plate, so the cylindrical portion of the housing excluding the inward flange and the piston Since a housing space with a large radial width is inevitably formed between the boss and the bearing / seal member fitted in the housing space, the thickness in the radial direction must be increased. However, if the radial thickness of the bearing / seal member is increased, the rigidity of that part will be significantly reduced, and the bearing function of the member will be reduced. May increase. Therefore, if it is formed of a relatively hard elastic material in order to enhance the bearing function of the bearing / seal member, this will cause a problem that the seal function is lowered.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a bearing / seal device for the tandem negative pressure booster which can satisfy both a bearing function and a sealing function for a piston boss. .
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a booster shell is provided with a partition plate that divides the interior into a front shell chamber and a rear shell chamber. A front booster piston that is divided into a pressure chamber and a rear front working chamber is accommodated so as to be able to reciprocate back and forth, and the rear shell chamber includes the front rear negative pressure chamber and the rear rear working chamber. The rear booster piston is divided into a partition plate and a piston boss that connects between the front and rear booster pistons is interposed between the partition plate and a bearing / seal member made of an elastic material attached to the plate.

[0022]
An inward flange 12a is integrally formed at the rear end of the rear extension cylinder 12, and the central portion of the inward flange 12a serves as an air introduction port 29 that opens to the atmosphere. A stopper 30 that abuts on the inner surface of the inward flange 12a and defines the final retreat limit of the input rod 19 is fixed to the input rod 19 so as to be adjustable in the front-rear direction. The stopper 30 is formed with a vent hole 31.
[0023]
The inner periphery of the rear end portion of the piston boss 10, air filter 34 is mounted, through which the inner circumference of the first valve seat 23 1 always communicates with the atmosphere introduction port 29. The air filter 34 is flexible so as not to prevent the input rod 19 from moving back and forth with respect to the piston boss 10.
[0024]
An output rod 46 penetrating the front wall of the booster shell 1 is disposed at the center of the front negative pressure chamber 2a, and a reaction force mechanism 39 that connects the piston boss 10, the valve piston 17 and the output rod 46 together. Is provided in the front chamber 10 a of the piston boss 10. The reaction force mechanism 39 includes a large-diameter piston 40 projecting from the front surface of the intermediate partition wall 10c, a small-diameter cylinder hole 41 penetrating the intermediate partition wall 10c so as to open at the center of the front surface of the large-diameter piston 40, A small-diameter piston 42 protruding from the front end surface of the valve piston 17 and slidably fitted in the small-diameter cylinder hole 41; a cup body 44 slidably fitted on the outer periphery of the large-diameter piston 40; The cup body 44 is filled with an elastic piston 45 made of an elastic material such as rubber and facing the large and small diameter pistons 40 and 42. The cup body 44 is integrally formed with the output rod 46 so as to protrude from the front end surface thereof. The output rod 46 is connected to the piston Ma of the brake master cylinder M.
[0025]
A retainer 47 covering the front end surface of the cup body 44 is superimposed on the intermediate step portion 49 of the front chamber 10a of the piston boss 10, and the piston boss 10 is attached rearward between the retainer 47 and the front wall of the booster shell 1. The biasing piston return spring 48 is retracted.
[0026]
Thus, when the brake pedal P is depressed to brake the vehicle, the input rod 29 moves forward with the valve piston 17 having the first valve seat 23 1 , but initially, the front and rear booster pistons 4, 6 Since the piston boss 10 is stationary, the first valve seat 23 1 is immediately separated from the valve portion 24a of the valve body 24, and the first port 38 1 connected to both the working chambers 2b and 3b is connected to the atmosphere via the annular passage 22. The inlet 29 is communicated. On the other hand, on the second valve seat 23 2 , the valve portion 24 a of the valve body 24 is seated by the elastic force of the valve spring 27, and the second port 38 2 connected to both the negative pressure chambers 2 a and 3 a is connected between the annular passage 22. It is shut off. As a result, the air flowing in from the air inlet 29 to the piston boss 10 in passes through the first valve seat 23 1, the first port 38 1 through to both working chambers 2b, is introduced into 3b, the chamber 2b, and 3b Since the negative pressure chambers 2a and 3a are set to a pressure higher than that of the negative pressure chambers 2a and 3a, the front and rear booster pistons 4 and 6 are accompanied by the piston bosses 10 with a large forward force based on the pressure difference therebetween, and resist the force of the piston return spring 48. Therefore, the large-diameter piston 40 pushes the cup body 44, that is, the output rod 46 forward through the elastic piston 45, and drives the piston Ma of the brake master cylinder M. Thus, the brake master cylinder M can be actuated according to the depression force of the brake pedal P to brake the vehicle. At this time, the forward end force of the booster pistons 4 and 6 applied to the large-diameter piston 40 and the driver's stepping force input from the input rod 19 to the small-diameter piston 42 act on the rear end surface of the elastic piston 45. The reaction force of the output rod 46 acts on the front end surface, and the elastic piston 45 is thereby compressed back and forth. As a result, a part of the reaction force of the output rod 46 is transmitted from the elastic piston 45 to the valve piston 17 and thus the input rod 19 via the small diameter piston 42, and the operator outputs the output rod 46, that is, The magnitude of the braking force can be perceived.
[0027]
When the depressing force on the brake pedal P is released, the input rod 19 and the valve piston 17 are moved backward with respect to the piston boss 10 by the repulsive force of the input rod return spring 32, so that the first valve seat 23 1 is moved to the valve portion 24a of the valve body 24. while seated on, thereby unseating the valve portion 24a from the second valve seat 23 2 is retracted the valve portion 24a of the valve body 24 against the set load of the valve spring 27. As a result, both the working chambers 2b and 3b communicate with both the negative pressure chambers 2a and 3a through the first port 38 1 , the annular passage 22 and the second port 38 2 , so that the atmosphere to both the working chambers 2b and 3b The introduction is blocked and the air in both working chambers 2b and 3b moves to both negative pressure chambers 2a and 3a and is sucked into the negative pressure limit V. As a result, when the pressure difference between the negative pressure chambers 2a and 3a and the working chambers 2b and 3b disappears, the front and rear booster pistons 4 and 6 and the piston boss 10 retreat together with the piston boss 10 by the repulsive force of the piston return spring 48. The operation of the master cylinder M is released. Then, before the front and rear booster pistons 4 and 6 and the piston boss 10 reach the backward limit, the input rod 19 reaches the backward limit first and stops together with the valve piston 17, and the slight piston boss 10 thereafter. , The second valve seat 23 2 is seated on the valve portion 24a of the valve body 24 and returns to the resting state.
[0028]
During such operation of the negative pressure booster B, the bearing / seal member 11 attached to the partition plate 1c of the booster shell 1 guides the axial movement of the piston boss 10 while Sealing between the working chamber 2b and the rear negative pressure chamber 3a is performed.
[0029]
Now, the bearing / seal member 11 and its mounting structure will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0030]
A cylindrical housing 50 having a uniform inner diameter is formed on the partition plate 1c of the booster shell 1 so as to protrude rearward from the inner peripheral end thereof and surround the piston boss 10 with a cylindrical gap.
[0031]
On the other hand, the bearing / seal member 11 is integrally formed of an elastic material such as rubber.

[0032]
On the inner peripheral surface of the bearing portion 51, a grease reservoir 56 comprising a number of axial grooves 56a, 56a,... Arranged in the circumferential direction and an annular groove 56b communicating with the front ends of these axial grooves 56a, 56a,. Is formed and filled with lubricating grease. As the grease reservoir 56 is recessed, an annular land portion 57 and a number of axial land portions 58, 58... Extending forward from the annular land portion 57 remain on the inner peripheral surface of the bearing portion 51.
[0033]
In attaching the bearing / seal member 11 to the housing 50, the bearing portion 51 is fitted on the inner peripheral surface of the housing 50 of the partition plate 1 c, and the flange-like portion 53 is formed by attaching the rear end portion of the housing 50 to the annular groove 52. It arrange | positions so that it may engage, and the collar part 54 is arrange | positioned so that it may contact | abut on the front surface of the partition board 1c.
[0034]
Thus, the bearing / seal member 11 is held at a fixed position of the housing 50 by the flange-like portion 53 and the flange portion 54. When the piston boss 10 is inserted into the inner peripheral surface of the bearing / seal member 11, The inner surface of the bearing portion 51, that is, the annular land portions 57, 58 and the axial land portions 58, 58... Slidably support the piston boss 10, and the seal lip portion 55 is exposed forward from the housing 50 to the piston. The boss 10 is slidably in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the boss 10.
[0035]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[0036]
When the piston boss 10 moves back and forth together with the front and rear booster pistons 4 and 6, the posture of the piston boss 10 is regulated by the bearing portion 51 of the bearing / seal member 11 attached to the housing 50 of the partition plate 1c, and the seal lip The airtightness between the front working chamber 2b and the rear negative pressure chamber 3a on the piston boss 10 is maintained by the portion 55.
[0037]
At this time, since the housing 50 has a simple cylindrical shape having no flanges, the annular gap between the housing 50 and the piston boss 10 is sufficiently closed, and the bearing portion 51 disposed therebetween is made thicker. It becomes possible to make it thin. As a result, the bearing portion 51 has an appropriate rigidity and can exhibit a good bearing function, so that the movement posture of the piston boss 10 can be stabilized and its sliding resistance can be reduced.
[0038]
In addition, the inner circumferential surface of the bearing portion 51 includes a plurality of axial grooves 56a, 56a... Arranged in the circumferential direction and an annular groove 56b communicating with the front ends of the axial grooves 56a, 56a. Since the reservoir 56 is formed, the outer peripheral surface of the piston boss 10 can be uniformly lubricated by the grease packed therein, and therefore the sliding of the piston boss 10 with respect to the bearing portion 51 can be made smoother. it can. In addition, the annular land portion 57 adjacent to the grease reservoir 56 and the large number of axial land portions 58, 58... Can secure the rigidity of the inner peripheral surface of the bearing portion 51, which hinders stable support of the piston boss 10. There is nothing.
[0039]
Further, the bearing / seal member 11 is held by the housing 50 when the flange-like portion 53 and the flange portion 54 connected to the front and rear ends of the bearing portion 51 hold the housing 50 from the front and rear. No member is required, and the mounting structure can be simplified.
[0040]
On the other hand, since the seal lip portion 55 of the bearing / seal member 11 is disposed in front of the housing 50 and is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the piston boss 10, the thickness of the seal lip portion 55 is interfered with the housing 50. Therefore, it is possible to select freely and obtain elasticity suitable for the sealing function. Therefore, the sealing function of the sealing lip portion 55 can be effectively enhanced.
[0041]
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
[0042]

It has an appropriate rigidity and can exhibit a good bearing function. Therefore, the moving posture of the piston boss can be stabilized and its sliding resistance can be reduced. Moreover, the bearing / seal member is a single unit that can satisfy both the bearing function and the sealing function with respect to the piston boss by integrally molding the bearing part and a hook-like part, a hook part, and a seal lip part, which will be described later, with an elastic material. In particular, the hook-like part and the hook part connected to the front and rear ends of the bearing part are held by the housing by gripping the housing from the front and back, so a dedicated holding member is not required. There, it is possible to simplify the mounting structure and the seal lip portion continuous coaxial to the front end of the bearing portion is disposed in front of the outside housing, so close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the piston boss, this effect the thickness of the seal lip portion is free to select without interference from the housing, and it is possible to obtain an elastic which is suitable for sealing function, the sealing function of the sealing lip It can be enhanced manner.
[0043]
In addition, a grease reservoir is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the bearing portion.
