Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法及びその装置に関し、例えば、ゴム及び類似の材料の粘弾性等の物理的性質を連続して測定することができる連続測定方法とその装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、例えば、ゴム及び類似の材料の粘弾性等の物理的性質を測定する連続測定装置は、回転機構を有する熱盤とトルク検出機構を有する熱盤が閉じることにより構成される試料室に、試料を閉じこめて加熱し、一方の回転機構を有する熱盤を回転させたとき、他方のトルク検出機構を有する熱盤に生じるトルクを検出し測定を完了する。測定終了後、資料室から試験の完了した試料を排出し、次の試料を供給して、多数の試料を次々と連続的に測定する構成のものである。
この場合、試験の完了後に資料室から粘着性の試料を如何に円滑に取り除くかが第1の課題となる。
【0003】
従来のこの種の装置としては、回転側の熱盤に±(プラス・マイナス)0.1〜±1°、大きくとも±5°の微少角度の振動トルクを与える装置が、特開平6−109620号公報に開示されている。
この従来装置では、二枚のフィルムの間に試料を挟んで2枚の熱盤間に閉じ込め、回転側の熱盤に±(プラス・マイナス)0.1〜±1°、大きくとも±5°の微少角度の振動トルクを与えるとき、試料を介して他方の熱盤に伝達されるトルクを測定し、試験後の試料は、上下二枚のフィルムの間に粘着した状態で両熱盤から剥離して試料室から排出される。
この場合、2枚のフィルムは、2枚の熱盤の相対回転によるねじり変形に抵抗し得ること、熱盤に対して非粘着性であること、加熱に耐える熱特性を有すること、フィルムが2枚の熱盤の表面形状に正確に合致するように十分に柔軟且つ伸長性があること、等の要件を満たす必要があり、これらの条件を満たすフィルムの選択は、本質的に実験の問題であり、10〜50μm、15〜30μm、特には、20〜25μmのポリエステルフィルム、特には、ポリエチレンテレフタレートからなるポリエステルフィルムが適しており、このような好ましいフィルムを使用する場合、試料室中にフィルムがライニングとして存在したとしても、フィルムが不存在な場合と比較して大部分の場合、著しく結果を変えないとされている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来装置において、回転側の熱盤の回転角度が90°以上のように大きい場合、回転側の熱盤と試料との間に挟まれて回転側熱盤と一体に回転するフィルムはそのねじり変形に対抗することができず、引き千切れてしまい、試料を覆うことができないため、試料が熱盤に接触して粘着して剥離が困難になる。或いは、回転側熱盤と一体に回転するフィルムが丈夫で引き千切れない場合は、回転熱盤と一体に回転して周囲のフィルム連続部分を引き寄せて弛みを作るから、測定後に熱盤を開放したとき回転側熱盤に接触したフィルムだけが弛んだ状態になり、トルク検出側のフィルムとの間に試料を挟んで排出することが困難になる。のみならず、フィルムに生じる回転を阻止しようとする引っ張り抵抗力は回転側の熱盤に大きく作用し、トルク測定に大きく影響し、正確なトルク測定はできなくなる。
【0005】
また、試料を2枚のフィルムの間に挟んで熱盤と熱盤との間に供給する手段が面倒である。
即ち、例えば、下側のフィルム上に試料を置こうとすると上側のフィルムが邪魔になるから、上下のフィルムを広げた状態で下側のフィルムの上に試料を載置し、しかる後に上側のフィルムをその上方から被せて正確に試料を試験位置に載置するには、上下フィルムの連動と共に上側のフィルムの開閉操作を行う手段が必要になり、装置は相当に複雑であり、操作も面倒である。且つ、2枚のフィルムで挟んで試験をした後、2枚のフィルムで挟んだ状態のまま試料を試験室から排出するとき、その一定距離の排出移動により次の試料を2枚のフィルムで挟持可能に試験位置に供給する必要があるが、それには、複数の試料を正確な間隔で2枚のフィルムに挟んで順次に試験位置に供給する必要があり、予め2枚のフィルム間に試料を挟んだ状態で上下のフィルムに固着して試料を供給しないことには、その実現は相当に困難である。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、本発明は、回転機構を有する熱盤とトルク検出機構を有する熱盤が相対回転可能に閉じることにより構成される試料室を持ち、試料室に試料を閉じこめて加熱し、一方の回転機構を有する熱盤を回転させたとき他方のトルク検出機構を有する熱盤に生じるトルクを検出する粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法であって、トルク検出側の熱盤上に連続したフィルムを敷き、回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布し、前記熱盤上のフィルムに試料を搬送して載置し、熱盤を閉じ、フィルムを挟み込む状態で加熱し、回転側の熱盤を回転させて測定を行い、測定終了後、トルク検出側の熱盤上のフィルムを固定し、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料を剥がし、トルク検出側の熱盤に熱せられた試料をフィルムに張り付いた状態で残し、フィルムを試料室外に排出することによって試料を排出し、新たにトルク検出側の熱盤上に連続したフィルムを敷き、フィルムの上に試料を搬送して載置し、熱盤を閉じ、順次に連続測定を可能にした粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法を提供しようとするものである。
【0007】
上記の本発明に係る粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法によれば、回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布し、トルク検出側の熱盤上のフィルムに試料を搬送して載置して、熱盤を閉じ、回転側の熱盤をフィルム等に邪魔されることなく円滑に回転させてトルクの測定を行うことができるから、回転側の熱盤を2回転(720°)回転するような回転角度が90°以上の大きい場合でも、回転側の熱盤は試料に密着して一体に回転し、トルク検出側の熱盤は殆ど回転することなくフィルムを介して試料を一体に支持してトルクの検出を確実に行うことができると共に、測定終了後には、トルク検出側の熱盤上にフィルムを固定し、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料は円滑に容易に剥がれることとなり、トルク検出側の熱盤上に試料がフィルムに張り付いた状態で残され、従って、フィルムを試料室外に排出するとフィルムと共に測定の終了した試料を試料室外に排出することができ、引き続き新たに連続したフィルムをトルク検出側の熱盤上に敷設することができ、そのフィルム上に試料を搬送して載置して、熱盤を閉じ、以下、順次に連続した測定を可能にすることができる。
【0008】

【0009】
また、試料粘着用の表面処理を施したフィルムが、試料を載置すべきフィルム面にサンドブラスト等の粗面処理を施したフィルムからなることにより、例えば、フィルム面に試料と接着性の強い金属蒸着を施したものや、接着剤を塗布したものに比較して、フィルムの加工性、操作性に優れ、廉価で取り扱いやすい、且つ、粘着性に優れたフィルムにより、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、トルク検出側の熱盤に試料がフィルムに強く張り付いた状態で容易に残ることとなる。
【0010】
また、本発明は、回転機構を有する熱盤とトルク検出機構を有する熱盤が相対回転可能に閉じることにより構成される試料室を持ち、試料室に試料を閉じこめて加熱し、一方の回転機構を有する熱盤を回転させたとき他方のトルク検出機構を有する熱盤に生じるトルクを検出する連続測定装置であって、トルク検出側の熱盤上に連続したフィルムを配するフィルム敷設手段と、回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布する離型剤塗布手段と、熱盤上のフィルムの上に試料を搬送する試料搬送手段と、熱盤をフィルムを挟み込む状態で閉じる熱盤閉鎖手段と、試料を加熱する試料加熱手段と、回転側の熱盤を回転させて他方の熱盤側でトルク測定を行うトルク測定手段と、測定終了後トルク検出側の熱盤上に前記フィルムを固定するフィルム固定手段と、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料を剥がす共にトルク検出側の熱盤に試料がフィルムに張り付いた状態で残るべく熱盤を開放して試料室を開く試料開放手段と、フィルムを試料室外に排出するフィルム排出手段とからなる粘着性試料のトルク連続測定装置を提供しようとするものである。
【0011】

【0012】

【0013】

【0030】
【実施例】
以下図示する実施例により、本発明を詳細に説明する。
図10は、粘着性試料のトルク測定装置の原理図で、回転機構を有する熱盤8とトルク検出機構を有する熱盤4が相対回転可能に上部固定ダイ9と下部固定ダイ10との間で閉じることにより構成される試料室7を持ち、試料室7に試料Sを閉じこめて加熱し、一方の回転機構を有する熱盤8を回転させたとき試料Sを介して他方のトルク検出機構を有する熱盤4に生じるトルクを検出する。3はトルク検出側の熱盤4の支軸で、軸受1、2により軸受台16を介して機体15に回転可能に軸受されており、その外周には、トルクバー5が一体に取り付けてある。トルクバー5は機体15に回転しないように一体に固定された固定ビーム12にロードセルアーム13を介してその先端部を固定されており、熱盤4に加わるトルクをロードセル・センサー6によりに検出するように構成してある。熱盤8の回転機構は、図では省略してあるが、従来公知の回転駆動機構からなり、必要に応じて熱盤8を微少角度から720°のように大きな角度まで適宜に回転することができるものである。また、熱盤8の昇降機構は、図では省略してあるが、従来公知の昇降機構からなり、熱盤8を所定の押圧力により試料室7内の試料Sに押圧することができるものである。4a、8aは各熱盤の加熱ヒーター、9a、10aは各固定ダイのヒーター、11、14は試料室密閉用の弾性シール、17、18は断熱材、19、20は熱盤8,4の温度センサーである。
【0031】
図1乃至図3の実施例において、トルク検出機構を下部に内蔵する熱盤4はその周囲を下部固定ダイ10に覆われており、回転側の熱盤8はその周囲を上部固定ダイ9に覆われて、回転側の熱盤8と上部固定ダイ9は昇降機構により上下動可能に設けてある。図10に記載のように、下部固定ダイ10に上部固定ダイ9が上方から密着して試料室7の周囲を閉鎖するとき、熱盤4及び熱盤8は、その上下を閉鎖する。このとき、図10の実施例では、下方に位置するトルク検出側の熱盤4と下部固定ダイ10とが平面的であるのに対して、上部固定ダイは回転側熱盤8に対して下方に突出した枠部を有し、試料室を形成している構成であるが、本発明ではこれに限定されることなく、例えば、下方に位置するトルク検出側の熱盤4の周囲の下部固定ダイ10に上方に突出する枠部を設けたり、熱盤4に対して周囲の下部固定ダイ10を上方に段差を設けたりして、トルク検出側の熱盤4又はその外周の下部固定ダイ10に、試料粘着補助用の凹部を設けた構成にすることができる。下部固定ダイ10に上方に突出する枠部を設けて試料室を形成する場合、回転側の熱盤8とその周囲の上部固定ダイ9を、枠部を比較的に低く又は平面的に構成することもできる。
【0032】
なお、試料粘着補助用の凹部としては、熱盤4又はその外周の下部固定ダイ10に粘着性の試料が平面より広い粘着面を以て密着し、密着抵抗を増大する凹面、凸面又は凹凸面であってもよい。また、試料粘着補助用の凹部は、トルク検出側の熱盤4上に敷設したフィルムを介して試料が密着した後で、フィルムを介して試料を容易に剥ぎ取ることができるように、凹溝部に底部より上方に狭口状の部分が存在しない、また、凸状部に底部より上方に幅広部が存在しない形態が好ましい。
図2において、前記試料粘着補助用の凹部とは別に、トルク検出側の熱盤4の上面には、摩擦抵抗用の細かい凹凸が設けてあり、その周囲の下部固定ダイ10の内周部21にも同様の摩擦抵抗用の細かい凹凸が設けてある。下部固定ダイ10の外周部には円形の枠部22が設けてあり、該枠部22を上方に立ち上げて構成することにより、下部固定ダイ10に前記試料粘着補助用の凹部を形成することができる。トルク検出側の熱盤4の測定精度への影響を考慮すると、試料粘着補助用の凹部は熱盤4に直接設けるより、下部固定ダイ10に設けることが好ましい。
【0033】
トルク検出側の熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の上面には、連続したフィルムFを敷設してある。フィルムFは、機体15底部のV字状のロール載置枠23に回転自在に載置された回転ロール24から案内ローラ25,26を介して上方に導入し、機台29上の試料検出部27の下側ガイド板28a,28bの間を通ってガイド弾力を付与され、トルク検出側の熱盤4上に連続して配置すべきフィルムFを供給側において案内するガイド手段としてのガイド部材30に導通してある。ガイド部材30はフィルムFを挿通すべく熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の上面とほぼ面一の高さに位置してガイド隙間31を具備し、上部固定ガイド板32に対して下部可動ガイド板33が上下作動することによって、フィルムFを円滑に通過させると共に、任意に固定することができるように構成してある。即ち、ガイド手段としての本実施例のガイド部材30は、熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の上面にフィルムFを固定するフィルム固定手段を構成している。
【0034】
図5において、下部可動ガイド板33の両側には、傾斜カム面34が設けてあり、これに両側からカム部材35が互いに接近して下部可動ガイド板33を上動して上部固定ガイド板32に圧着してフィルムFを固定し、互いに遠ざかる方向に避退して下部可動ガイド板33を下動してガイド隙間31を拡張するように構成してある。実施例の場合、カム部材35はエアシリンダー36により作動する作動軸37に連動して作動すると共に、両カム部材35間に拡張弾力を付与して設けたバネ部材38により、避退方向の作動弾力を付与してある。
また、上部固定ガイド板32には、測定完了後にフィルムFの上面に沿ってエアーを試料に吹き付ける手段として、細長いエアー吹き付け孔39が設けてある。エアー吹き付け孔39は図示のような細長いスリット状でも、所定間隔で設けた複数個の孔からなるノズル状のものでもよい。また、更に、エアー吹き付け手段は、フィルムFの下側に沿って吹き付けるように、設けることも可能である。また、エアー吹き付け手段は、フィルムガイド手段とは独立に、エアーパイプ等から吹き付けノズルに圧縮空気を供給して熱盤4上の試料に吹き付ける形態でも良い。
【0035】
なお、上記エアーシリンダー36及びエアー吹き付け手段へのエアー供給手段は、通常の構成であるから図では省略してある。
さて、熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の上面を通ったフィルムFは、図1及び図2に記載のように、熱盤4の排出側において可動ガイド部材40と固定ガイド部材50からなるガイド手段に案内されている。固定ガイド部材50は後述するように熱盤4の排出側に固定的に設けてあるのに対して、可動ガイド部材40は、中心の熱盤4から外れたフィルムFの両側長手方向に沿って移動可能に設けた2個1対のガイド基台41と挟持部材42とからなり、フィルムFはガイド基台41と挟持部材42との間を通過するように構成してある。挟持部材42は挟持エアーシリンダー43の流体圧により進退する作動軸49に伴って、ガイド基台41に圧着し、フィルムFを開放可能に挟持することができるように構成してある。48は押圧部材42の圧着面に設けた摩擦部材である。
【0036】
また、図2,図3に記載のように、可動ガイド部材40は、熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の外側にフィルムFの長手方向に沿って設けたガイドレール44に沿って移動する移動体46に支持されており、フィルムFの長手方向に沿って設けたエアシリンダー45の作動軸47の進退移動に伴って移動するように構成してある。また、実施例の場合、ガイド基台41はフィルムFの移動方向に対し横断して移動体46に設けてあり、測定完了後に熱盤4上をフィルムFの排出側から供給側に移動するとき、熱盤4上に圧着している試料をフィルムFを介して下から掬い取るように剥がし取ることができるように構成してある。従って、このことからも、図4に記載のように、ガイド基台41の供給側のガイド傾斜面41aは、フィルムFに鋭角的に滑らかに当接するように設けることが好ましい。
【0037】
固定ガイド部材50は、排出エアシリンダー45の固定基板51に一体に固定して設けた固定エアシリンダー52の作動軸53に設けた押圧部材54からなり、作動軸53の伸長によりフィルムFを板バネ状の下面案内板55の上面に圧接するように構成してある。図3において、56は押圧部材54に設けた摩擦部材である。
上記の構成において、測定が終了後、トルク検出側の熱盤4のフィルム供給側においては、固定手段としてガイド部材30のエアシリンダー36により作動する作動軸37に連動して作動するカム部材35が互いに接近し、下部可動ガイド板33を上動して上部固定ガイド板32に圧着してフィルムFを固定し、トルク検出側の熱盤4のフィルム排出側においては、固定手段として可動ガイド部材40と固定ガイド部材50のエアシリンダー43,52が作動し、作動軸49,53が伸長して挟持部材42及び押圧部材54によりフィルムFを固定する。次いで、回転側の熱盤8が上部固定ダイと共に上方に移動すると、離型剤が塗布された上部熱盤8から試料の上面が剥がれ、検出部側の熱盤4上のフィルムFに試料の下面が粘着した状態で残されることとなる。
【0038】
ここで、固定ガイド部材50によりフィルムFを固定した状態を維持したままで、可動ガイド部材40の挟持部材42の挟持力を緩めて、ガイド基台41との間をフィルムFが通過可能なガイド状態で、排出エアシリンダー45が作動し、作動軸47の伸長に伴って、熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の外側にフィルムFの長手方向に沿って設けたガイドレール44に沿って移動する移動体46に支持された可動ガイド部材40は、図1,図4に破線で記載のように、熱盤4を越えて供給側の固定手段であるガイド部材30の近傍まで進出して、挟持エアシリンダー43により挟持部材42の挟持力を強めてガイド基台41との間でフィルムFをしっかり挟持する。
そこで、ガイド部材30の下部可動ガイド板33及び固定ガイド部材40の押圧部材54の押圧力が除去され、熱盤4上でフィルムFが自由になった状態で、排出エアシリンダー45が作動し、作動軸47の避退に伴って、図1の実線で示すように、可動ガイド部材40をフィルムFの長手方向に沿って熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10の排出側まで移動し、熱盤4上の試料をフィルムFと共に外部に排出することができ、同時に、熱盤4上に新しいフィルムFを連続的に供給することができることとなる。
【0039】
従って、本発明のガイド手段としての可動ガイド部材40は、試料排出手段を構成し、同時に、フィルムの排除と同時にフィルムを敷設するフィルム敷設手段を併せて構成することとなる。
そして、このとき、可動ガイド部材40のフィルムFによる試料の排出作動と同時に、供給側のガイド部材30に設けたエアー吹き付け手段により、フィルムFの上面に沿ってエアーを試料に吹き付けることによって、試料をフィルムと共に円滑に排出することができ、また、熱盤4及び下部固定ダイ10に残留する試料残留物等を、外部に吹き飛ばすことができることとなる。
また、本発明実施例においては、前記フィルムFの長手方向に沿って設けたガイドレール44に沿って移動する可動ガイド部材40に、回転側の熱盤8に液状離型剤を噴霧式に塗布する離型剤塗布手段60を設けてある。
【0040】
実施例の場合、離型剤塗布手段60は、噴霧方向を調整自在な2個の噴霧器61からなり、これら噴霧器61は前記2個一対の挟持エアシリンダー43間に掛け渡して両端を固定した支持枠板57に、可動ガイド部材40に対してフィルムFの排出側に変位して設けてある。即ち、図2,図4に記載のように、2個の噴霧器61を設けた噴霧器取付板58は、可動ガイド部材40に対してフィルムFの排出側に変位して設けてあり、前述の如く、可動ガイド部材40が供給側の固定手段であるガイド部材30の近傍まで進出してフィルムFを挟持する位置において、2個の噴霧器61が丁度回転側の熱盤8及び上部固定ダイの下方に位置して、噴霧した離型剤が熱盤8及び上部固定ダイに命中しやすい位置に来るように構成してある。
また、図3に記載のように、噴霧器取付板58には、2個の噴霧器61をフィルムFの長手方向を横断するように位置調節自在に取り付け得る長孔59が設けてあると共に、噴霧器61に離型剤を供給するフレキシブルな供給パイプを連結しやすいように、供給パイプ取付孔62等を設けてある。このことから、本発明のガイド手段としての可動ガイド部材40は、離型剤塗布手段を構成することとなる。
【0041】
なお、離型剤塗布手段としては、上昇位置にある熱盤8及び上部固定ダイに離型剤を塗布するものであるから、必ずしも可動ガイド部材40に設ける必要はなく、機体に固定的に設けることも、熱盤8及び上部固定ダイの近傍にその上昇に連動して下側に回り込む機構に設けることも可能である。
次ぎに、本発明は、上記の粘着性試料のトルク連続測定装置において、粘着性試料を試料載置コンベヤー65からトルク検出側熱盤4まで搬送して載置する試料搬送手段70が設けてある。試料載置コンベヤー65は、フィルムFの長手方向と直交する方向に図8では左から右に移動するように無端環状に設けてあり、図7で丸印で指定された試料載置位置63に粘着性資料を載置するように構成してある。64は支柱枠66に沿って上下動自在に設けた取っ手付の透明スライドドアである。67はフィルムFの長手方向に沿って機体に一体に設けた試料搬送手段70の支持背板で、その長手方向に沿ってモーター69により正逆回転するスクリュウネジ軸68が回転自在に軸受されている。また、スクリュウネジ軸68には、支持背板67に沿って移動するようにガイドされたガイド枠体71の雌ネジ部が螺合しており、スクリュウネジ軸68の正逆回転に伴ってガイド枠体71に一体に設けた試料搬送部本体72が円滑に移動するように構成してある。支持背板67の長手方向に沿っては、リニアスケール73が設けてあり、試料搬送部本体72に設けたセンサー74により移動位置を検出することができるように構成してある。
【0042】
試料搬送部本体72は、スクリュウネジ軸68の正逆回転を制御する制御機構により、試料載置コンベヤー65上の試料載置位置63と、供給側のガイド部材30の手前に設けた試料検出部27の上方位置と、トルク検出側の熱盤4の上方に停止するようにプログラムされている。
試料搬送部本体72には、試料を突き刺して保持する針部材75を針昇降エアシリンダー77により昇降自在に保持する針保持部材76と、針部材75の昇降を案内することにより針部材75の下方突出位置で試料を突き刺し上方避退位置で試料を放出する針アダプター78とからなる針昇降機構80を設けてある。79は前記針昇降エアシリンダー77と針アダプター78の支持枠81を一体に設けた針昇降機構板であり、針昇降機構板79は試料搬送部本体72に一体に設けた固定支持台83に設けた昇降機構板エアシリンダー84によって昇降するように構成してある。固定支持台83と昇降機構板エアシリンダー84は本発明に係る針アダプター昇降支持部材を構成している。85は針昇降機構板79の昇降を補助すべく針アダプター78の支持枠81を上下動自在に案内するガイドローラである。
【0043】
上記の構成からなる試料搬送手段70において、熱盤4のフィルムF上に試料を放出し載置した試料搬送部本体72は、スクリュウネジ軸68の逆転により試料載置位置コンベヤー65の予めプログラムされた所定の試料載置位置63上に移動し、針昇降機構板79を所定のそのままの高さ、又は昇降機構板エアシリンダー84によって適宜な高さに調整して、針昇降エアシリンダー77により針保持部材76を降下させて針アダプター78の下方に突出した針部材75により粘着性試料を突き刺して上昇し、試料を針アダプター78の下側に保持し、スクリュウネジ軸68の正転によりフィルムFの供給方向に移動する。試料搬送部本体72は、図1又は図4に記載のように、機台29上の試料検出部27の上方に位置して停止し、試料検出部27により針部材75に試料が有るか無いかを検出し、無ければ引き返し、有ればそのまま熱盤4上に進出する。
ここで、試料検出部27は、実施例の場合、縦波のない横波成分の光線を針アダプター78の下面に設けた乱反射板82に照射し、試料がない場合に反射光に縦波成分が含まれることにより試料のないことを検出することができるように構成してある。
【0044】
試料搬送部本体72が熱盤4上に進出するとき、熱盤4上には測定完了後の試料は既に排除されて新たなフィルムFが敷設されており、ここで、針昇降機構板79を昇降機構板エアシリンダー84によって所定の適宜な高さに降下して、試料の下面を熱盤4の近くまで降ろしてから、針昇降エアシリンダー77により針保持部材76を上昇させて、針アダプター78の下方に突出した針部材75を避退させて、試料を熱盤4のフィルムF上に転倒したり弾まないように、静かに載置することができる。
ここで、粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法においては、試料室内で試料を加熱し、形状が固定する前に粘弾性を測定する。例えば、生ゴムの粘弾性測定では、加熱温度100°Cで、2分間に4回転するときのトルクを測定する。
使用するフィルムFは、15〜30μmの厚さを持つポリエステルフィルムであることが好ましく、特には、20〜30μmの厚さを持つポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムであることが好ましい。
また、トルク検出側の熱盤上に敷設するフィルムとしては、フィルム表面にサンドブラスト等の試料粘着用の表面処理を施したフィルムを使用することが好ましい。
フィルム表面に試料粘着用の表面処理を施したフィルムを使用したことにより、フィルム面に試料と接着性の強い金属蒸着を施したものや、接着剤を塗布したものに比較して、フィルムの加工性、操作性に優れ、廉価で取り扱いやすく、且つ、粘着性に優れたフィルムにより、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、回転側の離型剤を塗布した熱盤から試料を容易に剥がすことができると共に、トルク検出側の熱盤に試料がフィルムに強く張り付いた状態で容易に残こすことができる。
【0045】
【発明の効果】
以上の通り、本発明に係る粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法によれば、回転機構を有する熱盤とトルク検出機構を有する熱盤が相対回転可能に閉じることにより構成される試料室を持ち、試料室に試料を閉じこめて加熱し、一方の回転機構を有する熱盤を回転させたとき他方のトルク検出機構を有する熱盤に生じるトルクを検出する粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法であって、トルク検出側の熱盤上に連続したフィルムを敷き、回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布し、前記熱盤上のフィルムに試料を搬送して載置し、熱盤を閉じ、フィルムを挟み込む状態で加熱し、回転側の熱盤を回転させて測定を行い、測定終了後、トルク検出側の熱盤上のフィルムを固定し、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料を剥がし、トルク検出側の熱盤に熱せられた試料をフィルムに張り付いた状態で残し、フィルムを試料室外に排出することによって試料を排出し、新たにトルク検出側の熱盤上に連続したフィルムを敷き、フィルムの上に試料を搬送して載置し、熱盤を閉じ、順次に連続測定を可能にした構成を有することにより、回転側の熱盤をフィルム等に邪魔されることなく円滑に回転させてトルクの測定を行うことができるから、回転側の熱盤を2回転(720°)するような回転角度が90°以上のように大きい場合でも、回転側の熱盤は試料に密着して一体に回転し、トルク検出側の熱盤は殆ど回転することなくフィルムを介して試料を一体に支持してトルクの検出を確実に行うことができると共に、測定終了後には、トルク検出側の熱盤上にフィルムを固定し、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料は円滑に容易に剥がれることとなり、トルク検出側の熱盤上には試料がフィルムに張り付いた状態で残され、従って、フィルムを試料室外に排出するとフィルムと共に測定の終了した試料を試料室外に排出することができ、引き続き新たに連続したフィルムをトルク検出側の熱盤上に敷設することができ、そのフィルム上に試料を搬送して載置して、熱盤を閉じ、以下、順次に連続した測定を可能にすることができる効果がある。
【0046】
また、本発明は、請求項1に記載の粘着性試料のトルク連続測定方法において、試料を載置すべきフィルム表面に試料を粘着すべくサンドブラスト等の粗面処理を施した構成を有することにより、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、試料とこれを挟む熱盤との粘着力の差から、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料は円滑に容易に剥がれると共に、トルク検出側の熱盤においては試料がフィルムに強く張り付いた状態で残されることとなるから、その後のフィルムの排出に伴って測定後の試料を確実に排出することができる効果がある。
【0047】
また、試料粘着用の表面処理を施したフィルムが、試料を載置すべきフィルム面にサンドブラスト等の粗面処理を施したフィルムからなる構成を有することにより、例えば、フィルム面に試料と接着性の強い金属蒸着を施したものや、接着剤を塗布したものに比較して、フィルムの加工性、操作性に優れ、廉価で取り扱いやすい、且つ、粘着性に優れたフィルムにより、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、トルク検出側の熱盤に試料がフィルムに強く張り付いた状態で容易に残すことができる効果がある。
【0048】
また、本発明に係る粘着性試料のトルク連続測定装置によれば、回転機構を有する熱盤とトルク検出機構を有する熱盤が相対回転可能に閉じることにより構成される試料室を持ち、試料室に試料を閉じこめて加熱し、一方の回転機構を有する熱盤を回転させたとき他方のトルク検出機構を有する熱盤に生じるトルクを検出する連続測定装置であって、トルク検出側の熱盤上に連続したフィルムを配するフィルム敷設手段と、回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布する離型剤塗布手段と、熱盤上のフィルムの上に試料を搬送する試料搬送手段と、熱盤をフィルムを挟み込む状態で閉じる熱盤閉鎖手段と、試料を加熱する試料加熱手段と、回転側の熱盤を回転させて他方の熱盤側でトルク測定を行うトルク測定手段と、測定終了後トルク検出側の熱盤上に前記フィルムを固定するフィルム固定手段と、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料を剥がす共にトルク検出側の熱盤に試料がフィルムに張り付いた状態で残るべく熱盤を開放して試料室を開く試料開放手段と、フィルムを試料室外に排出するフィルム排出手段とからなる構成を有することにより、回転側の熱盤を他のフィルム等に邪魔されることなく円滑に回転させてトルクの測定を行うことができるから、回転側の熱盤を大きく回転する場合でも、回転側の熱盤は試料に密着して試料と一体に回転し、トルク検出側の熱盤はフィルムを介して試料を一体に支持してトルクの検出を確実に行うことができ、測定終了後には、トルク検出側の熱盤上にフィルムを固定し、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、離型剤を塗布した回転側の熱盤から試料は円滑に容易に剥がれ、トルク検出側の熱盤上に試料がフィルムに張り付いた状態で残され、フィルムを試料室外に排出することによりフィルムと共に測定の終了した試料を試料室外に排出することができ、以下、順次に連続した測定を可能にすることができる効果がある。
【0049】
また、本発明は、請求項3に記載の粘着性試料のトルク連続測定装置において、フィルム排除手段に回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布する離型剤塗布手段を併設した構成を有することにより、測定終了後、フィルム排除手段によって試料を試料室外に排出するときに、回転側の熱盤に離型剤を塗布することができるから、次の測定準備が円滑に確実に行われる効果がある。

また、本発明は、請求項3又は4に記載の粘着性試料のトルク連続測定装置において、トルク検出側の熱盤上に敷設するフィルムとして、フィルム表面に試料粘着用の表面処理を施したフィルムを使用した構成を有することにより、フィルム面に試料と接着性の強い金属蒸着を施したものや、接着剤を塗布したものに比較して、フィルムの加工性、操作性に優れ、廉価で取り扱いやすく、且つ、粘着性に優れたフィルムにより、熱盤を開放して試料室を開くとき、回転側の離型剤を塗布した熱盤から試料を容易に剥がすことができると共に、トルク検出側の熱盤に試料がフィルムに強く張り付いた状態で容易に残こすことができる効果がある。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a method for continuously measuring torque of an adhesive sample and an apparatus therefor, for example, to a continuous measurement method and apparatus capable of continuously measuring physical properties such as viscoelasticity of rubber and similar materials.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, a continuous measurement device that measures physical properties such as viscoelasticity of rubber and similar materials is used in a sample chamber configured by closing a heating plate having a rotation mechanism and a heating plate having a torque detection mechanism. When the sample is closed and heated, and the heating plate having one rotation mechanism is rotated, the torque generated in the heating plate having the other torque detection mechanism is detected to complete the measurement. After the measurement is completed, the test-completed sample is discharged from the data chamber, the next sample is supplied, and a large number of samples are continuously measured one after another.
In this case, the first problem is how to smoothly remove the adhesive sample from the data chamber after the test is completed.
[0003]
As a conventional device of this type, a device that applies a vibration torque with a minute angle of ± (plus / minus) 0.1 ±± 1 °, at most ± 5 °, to the rotating-side hot platen is disclosed in JP-A-6-109620. It is disclosed in the gazette.
In this conventional apparatus, a sample is sandwiched between two films and confined between two heating plates, and ± (plus / minus) 0.1 to ± 1 °, and at most ± 5 ° on the rotating heating plate. When a vibration torque of a slight angle is applied, the torque transmitted to the other hot platen through the sample is measured, and the sample after the test is peeled off from both hot plates while sticking between the two upper and lower films. And discharged from the sample chamber.
In this case, the two films can resist torsional deformation due to relative rotation of the two hot plates, are non-adhesive to the hot plate, have thermal characteristics that can withstand heating, and the film has 2 It is necessary to satisfy such requirements as being sufficiently flexible and stretchable to accurately match the surface shape of a single hot platen, and the selection of films that meet these requirements is essentially an experimental matter. Yes, a polyester film of 10 to 50 μm, 15 to 30 μm, particularly 20 to 25 μm, particularly a polyester film made of polyethylene terephthalate is suitable. When such a preferable film is used, the film is placed in the sample chamber. Even if present as a lining, in most cases the results are not significantly altered compared to the absence of film.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, when the rotation angle of the rotating hot platen is as large as 90 ° or more, the film that is sandwiched between the rotating hot plate and the sample and rotates integrally with the rotating hot plate is twisted. Since the deformation cannot be countered, it is torn off and the sample cannot be covered, the sample comes into contact with the hot platen and becomes difficult to peel off. Alternatively, if the film that rotates integrally with the rotating side heating plate is strong and cannot be torn, it rotates integrally with the rotating heating plate and draws the continuous part of the surrounding film to create slack, so the heating plate is opened after measurement. In this case, only the film in contact with the rotating side heating plate becomes loose, and it is difficult to put the sample between the film on the torque detection side and discharge it. In addition, the pulling resistance force that tries to prevent the rotation generated in the film greatly affects the rotating hot platen, greatly affects the torque measurement, and the accurate torque measurement cannot be performed.
[0005]
Moreover, the means for sandwiching the sample between the two films and supplying them between the hot plates is troublesome.
That is, for example, if an attempt is made to place a sample on the lower film, the upper film becomes an obstacle, so the sample is placed on the lower film with the upper and lower films spread, and then the upper film is In order to accurately place the sample on the test position with the film covered from above, a means for opening and closing the upper film in conjunction with the upper and lower films is required, and the apparatus is considerably complicated and the operation is troublesome. It is. In addition, after the test is sandwiched between two films, when the sample is discharged from the test chamber while being sandwiched between the two films, the next sample is sandwiched between the two films by the discharge movement of a certain distance. It is necessary to supply to the test position as much as possible. To do this, it is necessary to supply a plurality of samples to the test position sequentially between two films at an accurate interval. It is considerably difficult to realize that the sample is not supplied by being fixed to the upper and lower films while being sandwiched.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the present invention has a sample chamber configured by closing a heating plate having a rotation mechanism and a heating plate having a torque detection mechanism so as to be relatively rotatable, and the sample chamber is heated by confining the sample in the sample chamber.

Since the torque can be measured by closing the heating plate and smoothly rotating the heating plate on the rotating side without being interrupted by the film, the rotating plate is rotated twice (720 °). Even if the rotation angle is 90 ° or more, the rotating platen on the rotating side is in close contact with the sample and rotates integrally, and the sampler on the torque detection side supports the sample integrally through the film with little rotation. Torque can be detected reliably, and after the measurement is completed, the film is fixed on the heat plate on the torque detection side, and the sample plate is opened when the sample plate is opened by opening the heat plate. The sample will be peeled off smoothly and easily from the hot platen on the side.

The sample after measurement can be reliably discharged.
[0009]
In addition, the film that has been subjected to surface treatment for sample adhesion is made of a film that has been subjected to rough surface treatment such as sandblasting on the film surface on which the sample is to be placed.

[0011]
According to the continuous torque measuring apparatus for an adhesive sample according to the present invention, a release agent is applied to the rotating hot platen, and the sample is transported and mounted on the film on the torque detecting hot platen that hardly rotates. It is possible to measure the torque by closing the heating plate and smoothly rotating the heating plate on the rotating side without being obstructed by other films or the like. Even if the rotation angle is as large as 90 ° or more, the rotating hot platen is in close contact with the sample and rotates integrally with the sample, and the torque detecting hot platen hardly rotates. The sample can be supported in a single piece through and the torque can be detected reliably.After the measurement, the film is fixed on the torque detection side heating plate, the heating plate is opened, and the sample chamber is opened.

Therefore, even when the rotating side hot platen is rotated greatly, the rotating side hot plate is in close contact with the sample and rotates integrally with the sample, and the torque detecting side hot platen is inserted through the film. Torque can be detected reliably by supporting the sample integrally. After the measurement, the film is fixed on the heat plate on the torque detection side, and the sample plate is released when the sample plate is opened by opening the heat plate.
