Description

本発明は、シール材に係り、特に、医療、食品分野での薬液輸送用配管内のバルブや、半導体製造装置のゲートバルブ,チャンバーリッド等に使用される耐プラズマ性、耐腐食性を兼ね備えたシール材に関する。   The present invention relates to a seal material, and in particular, has plasma resistance and corrosion resistance used for valves in chemical transportation pipes in medical and food fields, gate valves of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, chamber lids, and the like. It relates to a sealing material.

上述のような用途のシール材としては、図9(A)に示すように、腐食性流体収納室Z側にPTFEの耐腐食用リング37をシール溝38に嵌着し、かつ、外側に弾性ゴムシール(Oリング)39を蟻溝状シール溝36に嵌着する二重溝の二重シールが公知であった
As the sealing material for the above-mentioned use, as shown in FIG. 9A, a PTFE anti-corrosion ring 37 is fitted in the sealing groove 38 on the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side, and the outer side is elastic. A double groove double seal in which a rubber seal (O-ring) 39 is fitted into a dovetail seal groove 36 has been known.

この図9(A)の二重シールでは、図10(A)の矢印のように、相手部材15の平坦面15Aが接近すると、弾性ゴムシール39と耐腐食用リング37は圧縮変形し、主として弾性ゴムシール39によって密封作用を行い、かつ、PTFEの耐腐食用リング37は腐食性流体収納室Zからの腐食性流体21が弾性ゴムシール39に接触するのを防止する役割をなしている。次に、図10(B)に示すように、相手部材15が矢印方向に分離すると、(ゴム製の)弾性ゴムシール39は元の形状に復元するが、PTFEは歪みが復元せず、図9と図10(B)とを比較すれば明らかな如く、変形が残留する。
従って、図9(A),図10(A)(B)に示した二重シールでは、次のような問題があった。(i)PTFE製リング37の残留歪みにより、複数回の使用が困 難であり、コスト高となる。(ii)シール溝36,38を2個形成せねばならず、必然的に装置全体が大型化する。(iii)PTFE製リング37の嵌着方向が装置によって異なり、そのシール溝38の方向によっては開放時に脱落の虞れがある。
In the double seal shown in FIG. 9A, when the flat surface 15A of the mating member 15 approaches as shown by the arrow in FIG. 10A, the elastic rubber seal 39 and the corrosion-resistant ring 37 are compressed and deformed, mainly elastic. The rubber seal 39 provides a sealing action, and the PTFE anti-corrosion ring 37 serves to prevent the corrosive fluid 21 from the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z from contacting the elastic rubber seal 39. Next, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the mating member 15 is separated in the direction of the arrow, the elastic rubber seal 39 (made of rubber) is restored to its original shape, but PTFE does not restore the distortion, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 10B, the deformation remains.
Therefore, the double seal shown in FIGS. 9A, 10A, and 10B has the following problems. (I) Residual distortion of the PTFE ring 37 makes it difficult to use multiple times and increases costs. (Ii) Two seal grooves 36 and 38 must be formed, which inevitably increases the size of the entire apparatus. (iii) The fitting direction of the PTFE ring 37 differs depending on the device, and depending on the direction of the seal groove 38, the PTFE ring 37 may drop off when opened.

そこで、従来、図9(B)に示すように1個のシール溝36に、横断面が半長円形の弾性ゴムシール39Aと、横断面I字形のPTFEリング37Aとを装着する複合シールが提案されている。しかしながら、このような複合シールには、次のような問題があった。(i)PTFEの残留歪みが発生し、複数回の使用が困難であり、コスト高となる。(ii)リング37Aと弾性ゴムシール39Aとを接着一体化する場合があったが、このような場合、使用温度や圧縮度合いによっては、相互の接着界面で剥がれを生ずる虞れがある。(iii)高温環境下では、接着剤の劣化による流体の洩れや、ガスの発生の問題も生ずる。
また、図11に示すように、ゴム(弾性ゴムシール)40を大気側22に配設して、耐腐食用材料(C形リング)41を腐食性流体21側に配設するシール材も提案されている(特許文献1参照)。
Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 9B, a composite seal has been proposed in which one seal groove 36 is fitted with an elastic rubber seal 39A having a semi-circular cross section and a PTFE ring 37A having an I-shaped cross section. ing. However, such a composite seal has the following problems. (I) Residual distortion of PTFE occurs, making it difficult to use multiple times and increasing costs. (Ii) In some cases, the ring 37A and the elastic rubber seal 39A are bonded and integrated. In such a case, depending on the operating temperature and the degree of compression, there is a risk of peeling at the mutual bonding interface. (iii) In a high temperature environment, there are problems of fluid leakage and gas generation due to deterioration of the adhesive.
Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a seal material is also proposed in which a rubber (elastic rubber seal) 40 is disposed on the atmosphere side 22 and a corrosion-resistant material (C-shaped ring) 41 is disposed on the corrosive fluid 21 side. (See Patent Document 1).

特開平11−2328号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-2328

しかし、図11に示す従来の複合シール材は、断面が円形であるため、相手部材20から圧縮荷重を受けた圧縮使用状態に於て、弾性が小さい耐腐食性材料41は、装着溝及び相手部材20に密着する範囲が少なく、シール性を十分に発揮できない。従って、シール面から腐食性流体21の漏洩が生じ、ゴム40を腐食性流体21から確実に保護することができず、ゴム40の劣化を長期間抑止することができなかった。つまり、シール面に弾性の異なる2種類の材料(フッ素樹脂とゴム)が混在すると、(i)接面漏れを起こす。
また、繰り返し圧縮・開放を行う場合は、(ii)耐腐食性材料41の残留歪みにより、ゴム40のシール性が格段に低下する。即ち、複数回の使用が困難となり、部品交換やメンテナンス作業が必要となって、コスト高となる虞れがある。(iii)ゴム40と耐腐食性材料41を接着した場合、使用温度や圧縮の度合いによって、ゴム40と耐腐食性材料41の界面で剥がれが発生する虞れがある。さらに、(iv)高温環境下では接着剤の劣化による流体への流出、ガスの発生等も考えられるという問題があった。
However, since the conventional composite sealing material shown in FIG. 11 has a circular cross section, the corrosion-resistant material 41 having low elasticity in the compression use state in which a compressive load is received from the mating member 20 has the mounting groove and the mating material. The range in close contact with the member 20 is small, and the sealing performance cannot be sufficiently exhibited. Accordingly, the corrosive fluid 21 leaks from the sealing surface, and the rubber 40 cannot be reliably protected from the corrosive fluid 21, and the deterioration of the rubber 40 cannot be prevented for a long time. That is, if two kinds of materials (fluororesin and rubber) having different elasticity are mixed on the seal surface, (i) contact surface leakage occurs.
In the case of repeated compression / release, (ii) due to the residual strain of the corrosion-resistant material 41, the sealing performance of the rubber 40 is significantly reduced. In other words, it is difficult to use a plurality of times, and parts replacement and maintenance work are required, which may increase costs. (iii) When the rubber 40 and the corrosion-resistant material 41 are bonded, there is a possibility that peeling occurs at the interface between the rubber 40 and the corrosion-resistant material 41 depending on the use temperature and the degree of compression. Furthermore, (iv) in a high temperature environment, there is a problem that outflow into the fluid due to deterioration of the adhesive, generation of gas, etc. can be considered.

そこで、本発明は、真空保持性(密封性)と耐腐食性を具備し、その真空保持性(密封性)と耐腐食性を長期間に維持して複数回にわたって使用し得るシール材を提供することを目的とする。   Accordingly, the present invention provides a sealing material that has vacuum retention (sealing) and corrosion resistance, and can be used multiple times while maintaining the vacuum retention (sealing) and corrosion resistance for a long period of time. The purpose is to do.

A corrosion-resistant ring disposed so as to approach or contact the first side wall surface on the storage chamber side; and an elastic seal body disposed so as to approach or contact the second side wall surface and the bottom wall surface. The corrosion-resistant ring has a cross section V having a first side portion and a second side portion with a top portion bent in a projecting manner toward a mating member that is relatively close to and away from the opening portion. Furthermore, the V-shaped groove formed at the first side and the second side opens toward the bottom wall surface, and the elastic seal body has a cross section in an uncompressed state. A projecting chevron projecting toward the mating member, and a side projecting bulging toward the second side wall surface, A flat bottom surface portion corresponding to the serial bottom wall, said a bayonet groove second side portion is plugged, has, the second side portion in the insertion groove, insertion without using an adhesive In the compression use state, the angle protrusion and the top are in close contact with the mating member, and the first side is in close contact with the first side wall surface. Furthermore, a gap is formed between the corrosion-resistant ring and the bottom wall surface in the uncompressed state and the compressed use state, and the corrosion-resistant ring is connected to the mating member and the bottom wall surface. The compressive load is not directly applied .

また、上記耐腐食用リングは、上記第2辺部に脱落防止用返し部を突設しているものである。
また、装着未圧縮状態で、上記平坦底面部から上記耐腐食用リングの上記頂部までの上下長さ寸法は、上記弾性シール本体の高さ寸法の0.7倍〜1.0倍に設定されているものである。
また、装着未圧縮状態に於て、上記側方突部の外端から上記第1辺部の外端に至る左右長さ寸法は、上記開口部の開口幅寸法の1.1倍〜1.5倍に設定されているものである。
Further, the corrosion-resistant ring has a fall-preventing return portion protruding from the second side portion.

Further, in the uncompressed state of mounting, the left-right length dimension from the outer end of the side protrusion to the outer end of the first side is 1.1 times the opening width dimension of the opening. It is set to 5 times.

また、装着未圧縮状態に於て、上記底壁面と上記平坦底面部が左右方向に当接する接触幅寸法は、上記底壁面の溝底幅寸法の0.3倍〜0.7倍に設定されているものである。
また、装着未圧縮状態で、上記耐腐食用リングの肉厚寸法は、0.2mm〜2.0mmに設定されているものである

Moreover, the thickness dimension of the said corrosion-resistant ring is set to 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm in the uncompressed state .

本発明のシール材によれば、耐腐食用リングは、腐食性流体が弾性シール本体側へ流れるのを抑止でき、弾性シール本体は、密封作用をなして、例えば大気が真空側(腐食性流体収納室側)に入り込むのを阻止できる。従って、弾性シール本体は腐食性流体によって劣化しないので、密封性能を長期的に維持できる。その劣化による弾性シール本体から発塵が起こらないので、半導体製造装置等に於ては、製品に不純物が付着するのを防止できる。相手部材からの圧縮荷重が耐腐食用リングにのみにかからない(弾性シール体が弾発的にサポートする)ため、圧縮荷重を開放した際、耐腐食用リングは元の状態に復元し、変形が残留せず、圧縮・開放動作部に対して多数回にわたって使用できる。装着溝が1つで済み、装置の小型化を図り得る。圧縮荷重開放時の脱落を防止でき、また、接着剤を使用していないため、接着剤の混入やガスの発生等の問題を解決できる。このように、本発明は、医療、食品分野での薬液輸送用配管内のバルブや、半導体製造装置のゲートバルブ,チャンバーリッド等に好適なシール材であって、耐プラズマ性及び耐腐食性を発揮する。   According to the sealing material of the present invention, the anti-corrosion ring can prevent the corrosive fluid from flowing to the elastic seal body side, and the elastic seal body has a sealing action, for example, the atmosphere is on the vacuum side (corrosive fluid). Can be prevented from entering the storage room side). Therefore, since the elastic seal body is not deteriorated by the corrosive fluid, the sealing performance can be maintained for a long time. Since dust generation does not occur from the elastic seal main body due to the deterioration, it is possible to prevent impurities from adhering to the product in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus or the like. Since the compression load from the mating member is not applied only to the anti-corrosion ring (the elastic seal body supports it elastically), when the compression load is released, the anti-corrosion ring is restored to its original state and deformed. It does not remain and can be used many times for the compression / release operation part. Only one mounting groove is required, and the apparatus can be miniaturized. Dropping off when the compression load is released can be prevented, and since no adhesive is used, problems such as adhesive mixing and gas generation can be solved. As described above, the present invention is a sealing material suitable for a valve in a chemical transportation pipe in the medical and food fields, a gate valve of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, a chamber lid, and the like, and has plasma resistance and corrosion resistance. Demonstrate.

以下、実施の形態を示す図面に基づき本発明を詳説する。
本発明のシール材は、攻撃性の強い流体を使用する部位に用いられ、例えば、医療、食品分野での薬液輸送用配管内のバルブシール、半導体の製造装置でのゲートバルブシール,チャンバーリッドシール等として用いられるものである。
図1〜図3に示すように、シール取付部材23には平面環状の装着溝5が形成され、この装着溝5は、開口部4と、その開口部4に近づくにつれて相互に接近する第1側壁面1と第2側壁面2と、底壁面3とを、有している。つまり、図1〜図3の装着溝5は、横断面台形の蟻溝状に形成されている。なお、本発明に於て、「環状」とは、円形状、矩形状、長円形状、及び、その他の形状も含まれる。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments.
The sealing material of the present invention is used in a site where a highly aggressive fluid is used. For example, a valve seal in a chemical transportation pipe in the medical and food fields, a gate valve seal in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, and a chamber lid seal Etc. are used.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a planar annular mounting groove 5 is formed in the seal attachment member 23, and the mounting groove 5 is a first that approaches the opening 4 and the first closes to the opening 4. The side wall surface 1, the second side wall surface 2, and the bottom wall surface 3 are provided. That is, the mounting groove 5 of FIGS. 1 to 3 is formed in a dovetail shape having a trapezoidal cross section. In the present invention, “annular” includes a circular shape, a rectangular shape, an oval shape, and other shapes.

図2と図3に示すように、本発明のシール材は、装着溝5内に装着される(全体が環状の)シール材であって、相手部材20は、シール取付部材23の平坦面23Aに相対的に接近・離間する平坦面状に構成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sealing material of the present invention is a sealing material that is mounted in the mounting groove 5 (the whole is annular), and the mating member 20 is a flat surface 23A of the seal mounting member 23. It is comprised in the flat surface shape which approaches / separates relatively.

図1は、本発明のシール材の自由状態を示し、図2は、シール材が装着溝5内に装着され相手部材20から圧縮荷重を受けていない装着未圧縮状態を示し、図3は、シール材が相手部材20から圧縮荷重を受けている圧縮使用状態を示している。
図2と図3に示すZは、反応性ガス(具体的には、四フッ化炭素、三フッ化炭素、六フッ化硫黄)やプラズマ状態にあるガス等が含まれる腐食性流体(攻撃性の強い流体)21を収納する腐食性流体収納室であり、22は大気側である。図例では、装着溝5は、第1側壁面1が腐食性流体収納室Z側に配設され、第2側壁面2が大気側22に配設されている。
本発明のシール材は、腐食性流体収納室Z側の第1側壁面1に接近又は接触するように配設される耐腐食用リング6と、第2側壁面2と底壁面3に接近又は接触するように弾性シール本体7と、から成る。言い換えると、攻撃性のある流体に耐性のある耐腐食用リング6を腐食性流体収納室Z側(内周側)に配設し、弾性シール本体7によって耐腐食用リング6を挾み込んで(挾圧状に)保持する複合シール材である。なお、耐腐食用リング6の嵌め込みに際し、接着剤は使用しない。
FIG. 1 shows a free state of the sealing material of the present invention, FIG. 2 shows a mounted uncompressed state in which the sealing material is mounted in the mounting groove 5 and does not receive a compressive load from the mating member 20, and FIG. The compression use state in which the sealing material receives a compression load from the counterpart member 20 is shown.
Z shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a corrosive fluid (aggressiveness) containing reactive gas (specifically, carbon tetrafluoride, carbon trifluoride, sulfur hexafluoride) or gas in a plasma state. Is a corrosive fluid storage chamber for storing 21, and 22 is the atmosphere side. In the illustrated example, the mounting groove 5 has a first side wall surface 1 disposed on the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side and a second side wall surface 2 disposed on the atmosphere side 22.
The sealing material of the present invention is close to the corrosion-resistant ring 6 disposed so as to approach or contact the first side wall surface 1 on the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side, and approaches or contacts the second side wall surface 2 and the bottom wall surface 3. It comprises an elastic seal body 7 so as to come into contact. In other words, the anticorrosion ring 6 that is resistant to aggressive fluid is disposed on the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side (inner peripheral side), and the anticorrosion ring 6 is swallowed by the elastic seal body 7. It is a composite sealing material to be held (in a crushed state). It should be noted that no adhesive is used when the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is fitted.

ところで、図1〜図3(及び後述の図4〜図7)に於ては、装着溝5が下方へ開口している場合を例示しているが、本発明に係るシール材は、(天地逆として)上方へ開口する場合、あるいは、水平方向に開口したり、鉛直に対して傾斜する斜め上方や斜め下方に開口する場合もある。そして、図1,図2,図4,図5に於て、シール材と装着溝5の内面との微小隙間が、第1側壁面1と耐腐食用リング6の間、及び、弾性シール本体7と第2側壁面2の間に存在するように描かれている。しかしながら、シール材の自重、シール材と装着溝5との間の粘着力の発生の有無、及び、(上述した)装着溝5の開口方向に伴って、上記微小隙間が、平坦底面部33と底壁面3との間に形成される場合もあり(図示省略)、また、第1側壁面1と第2側壁面2の内の一方側にのみ微小隙間が形成される場合もある(図示省略)。   Incidentally, in FIGS. 1 to 3 (and FIGS. 4 to 7 described later), the case where the mounting groove 5 is opened downward is illustrated, but the sealing material according to the present invention is (upside down). On the contrary, it may be opened upward, or it may be opened horizontally, or obliquely upward or obliquely downward with respect to the vertical. 1, 2, 4, and 5, the minute gap between the seal material and the inner surface of the mounting groove 5 is between the first side wall surface 1 and the corrosion-resistant ring 6, and the elastic seal body. 7 and the second side wall surface 2. However, due to the weight of the sealing material, the presence or absence of the adhesive force between the sealing material and the mounting groove 5, and the opening direction of the mounting groove 5 (described above), the micro gap is It may be formed between the bottom wall surface 3 (not shown), and a minute gap may be formed only on one side of the first side wall surface 1 and the second side wall surface 2 (not shown). ).

耐腐食用リング6は、圧縮使用状態下で弾性シール本体7からの加圧によって変形可能な、柔らかい材質で、かつ、薄肉であるのが好ましい。例えば、フッ素樹脂(PTFE)、PFA、PP、PE、薄い金属、又は、PTFEを被覆した薄い金属等であるが、好ましくは、耐腐食性の点でPTFEとするのが最適である。
弾性シール本体7は、公知のゴム材料であれば良く、具体的には、フッ素ゴム、シリコーンゴム、パーフロロエラストマー、EPDM、クロロプレン、ウレタンゴム等が使用環境に応じて適用でき、中でも、耐プラズマ性・耐腐食性が優れている点で、シリコーンゴム製、フッ素ゴム製が好ましい。
The corrosion-resistant ring 6 is preferably made of a soft material that is deformable by pressurization from the elastic seal main body 7 under compression and is thin. For example, fluororesin (PTFE), PFA, PP, PE, thin metal, thin metal coated with PTFE, or the like is preferable, but PTFE is most preferable in terms of corrosion resistance.
The elastic seal body 7 may be a known rubber material, and specifically, fluororubber, silicone rubber, perfluoroelastomer, EPDM, chloroprene, urethane rubber and the like can be applied depending on the use environment. In view of excellent property and corrosion resistance, silicone rubber and fluorine rubber are preferable.

図1と図2に示すように、耐腐食用リング6は、横断面V字状に形成され、(開口部4に相対的に接近する)相手部材20に向かって頂部30が突出するようにV字に折れ曲る。つまり、頂部30にて折れ曲った第1辺部31と第2辺部32を有している。
耐腐食用リング6は、第2辺部32の先端に脱落防止用返し部8を突設し、容易に弾性シール本体7から脱落しないように構成されている。つまり、この返し部8は、三角鈎形である。
また、耐腐食用リング6の肉厚寸法Tは、0.2mm〜2.0mmに設定されている。耐腐食用リング6の肉厚寸法Tが0.2mm未溝であると、圧縮の際、弾性シール本体7の圧縮弾性変形に伴う加圧により過大に変形し、残留歪み(変形)を生じる。また、耐腐食用リング6の肉厚寸法Tが2.0mmを越えると、剛性が高くなり過ぎて、弾性変形がし難くなって、腐食性流体21を遮断できない虞れがある。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is formed in a V-shaped cross section so that the top 30 protrudes toward the mating member 20 (relatively close to the opening 4). Bend into a V shape. That is, the first side portion 31 and the second side portion 32 are bent at the top portion 30.
The anti-corrosion ring 6 is configured so that a drop-out preventing return portion 8 protrudes from the tip of the second side portion 32 and does not easily fall off the elastic seal body 7. That is, the return portion 8 has a triangular saddle shape.
The thickness T of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is set to 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm. When the thickness T of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is 0.2 mm ungrooved, during compression, the elastic seal body 7 is deformed excessively by the pressure accompanying the compression elastic deformation of the elastic seal body 7, and residual strain (deformation) occurs. On the other hand, if the thickness T of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 exceeds 2.0 mm, the rigidity becomes too high and elastic deformation is difficult to occur, and the corrosive fluid 21 may not be shut off.

弾性シール本体7は、図2に示す装着未圧縮状態の横断面に於て、相手部材20に向かって突出状の山形突部11と、第2側壁面2側に膨出する側方突部9と、底壁面3に対応した平坦底面部33と、第2辺部32が差込まれる差込溝部34と、を有している。
また、装着未圧縮状態で、平坦底面部33から耐腐食用リング6の頂部30までの上下長さ寸法hは、弾性シール本体7の高さ寸法Hの0.7倍〜1.0倍に設定されている。上下長さ寸法hが高さ寸法Hの0.7倍未満であると、圧縮使用状態下で、耐腐食用リング6の頂部30が相手部材20に十分に密着せず、腐食性流体21を遮断できない虞れがある。また、上下長さ寸法hが高さ寸法Hより大きいと、圧縮使用状態下で、山形突部11が相手部材20に十分に密着せず、シール性が低下する。
The elastic seal main body 7 includes a mountain-shaped protrusion 11 that protrudes toward the mating member 20 and a side protrusion that bulges toward the second side wall surface 2 in the cross section of the uncompressed state shown in FIG. 9, a flat bottom surface portion 33 corresponding to the bottom wall surface 3, and an insertion groove portion 34 into which the second side portion 32 is inserted.
Further, in the uncompressed state, the vertical length h from the flat bottom surface portion 33 to the top portion 30 of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is 0.7 to 1.0 times the height dimension H of the elastic seal body 7. Is set. When the vertical dimension h is less than 0.7 times the height dimension H, the top portion 30 of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 does not sufficiently adhere to the mating member 20 under the compression use condition, and the corrosive fluid 21 is There is a possibility that it cannot be blocked. On the other hand, when the vertical length h is larger than the height dimension H, the mountain-shaped protrusion 11 does not sufficiently adhere to the mating member 20 under compression and the sealing performance is deteriorated.

図2に示す装着未圧縮状態に於て、側方突部9の外端から第1辺部31の外端に至る左右長さ寸法Lは、開口部4の開口幅寸法Wの1.1倍〜1.5倍に設定されている。
左右長さ寸法Lが開口幅寸法Wの1.1倍未満であると、シール材の脱落の虞れがある。また、左右長さ寸法Lが開口幅寸法Wの1.5倍を越えると、装着溝5内に押し込んで装着する作業が困難となる。
In the uncompressed state shown in FIG. 2, the left and right length dimension L from the outer end of the side protrusion 9 to the outer end of the first side portion 31 is 1 of the opening width dimension W 0 of the opening 4. It is set to 1 to 1.5 times.
When the left and right length L is less than 1.1 times the opening width W 0, there is a fear of falling off of the sealing material. Further, if the left and right length dimension L exceeds 1.5 times the opening width dimension W 0 , it is difficult to push the mounting groove 5 into the mounting groove 5.

また、装着未圧縮状態に於て、底壁面3と平坦底面部33が左右方向に当接する接触幅寸法Wは、底壁面3の溝底幅寸法Wの0.3倍〜0.7倍に設定されている。
接触幅寸法Wが溝底幅寸法Wの0.3倍未満であると、圧縮荷重開放時に、相手部材20への吸着(固着)により抜ける虞れがある。また、接触幅寸法Wが溝底幅寸法Wの0.7倍を越えると、圧縮使用状態に於て、弾性シール本体7の圧縮弾性変形が十分行ない得ない(体積移動を確保できない)虞れがある。
Further, in the uncompressed state, the contact width dimension W 1 at which the bottom wall surface 3 and the flat bottom surface portion 33 contact in the left-right direction is 0.3 times to 0.7 times the groove bottom width dimension W 2 of the bottom wall surface 3. It is set to double.
When the contact width W 1 is less than 0.3 times the groove bottom width W 2, when compressive load opening, there is a possibility that exit by adsorption (sticking) of the mating member 20. Further, if the contact width W 1 exceeds 0.7 times the groove bottom width W 2, At a compression use, can not perform sufficiently compressive elastic deformation of the elastic sealing body 7 (can not be ensured volume movement) There is a fear.

装着未圧縮状態に於て、耐腐食用リング6と底壁面3との間に、隙間Gが形成されている。
隙間Gは、耐腐食用リング6の可動域を確保している。この隙間Gにより、圧縮使用状態下で相手部材20から圧縮荷重が付加された際、弾性シール本体7が圧縮弾性変形しつつ耐腐食用リング6を支持し、耐腐食用リング6に直接に圧縮荷重が作用しないように構成されている。
A gap G is formed between the corrosion-resistant ring 6 and the bottom wall surface 3 in the uncompressed state.
The gap G ensures a movable range of the corrosion-resistant ring 6. Due to this gap G, when a compressive load is applied from the mating member 20 under compression, the elastic seal body 7 supports the anticorrosion ring 6 while compressively elastically deforming and directly compresses the anticorrosion ring 6. It is comprised so that a load may not act.

ここで、弾性シール本体7について、さらに詳しく説明する。
弾性シール本体7は、物理的劣化(イオン化した原子が弾性シール本体7を削り取るように傷つけること)の起こり易い箇所に装着される場合は、シリコーンゴム製であるのが好ましい。一方、弾性シール本体7は、化学的劣化(反応性ガスが弾性シール本体7に接触し、腐食劣化させること)の起こり易い箇所に装着される場合は、弾性シール本体7はフッ素ゴムであるのが好ましい。

The elastic seal body 7 is preferably made of silicone rubber when it is attached to a place where physical deterioration (where ionized atoms are damaged so as to scrape the elastic seal body 7) is likely to occur. On the other hand, when the elastic seal body 7 is mounted at a place where chemical deterioration (reactive gas comes into contact with the elastic seal body 7 to cause corrosion deterioration) is likely to occur, the elastic seal body 7 is made of fluoro rubber. Is preferred.

また、本発明のシール材が酸素ラジカルが発生する箇所、言い換えれば、プラズマが少なく酸素ラジカルが存在する箇所に配設される場合は、耐腐食用リング6の材質として、(耐プラズマ性と耐酸素ラジカル性を有する)上記フッ素樹脂を適用するのが好ましい。   Further, when the sealing material of the present invention is disposed in a location where oxygen radicals are generated, in other words, in a location where there is little plasma and oxygen radicals are present, the material for the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is (plasma resistance and resistance). It is preferable to apply the above fluororesin (having oxygen radical properties).

図8に示すように、本発明のシール材が使用されるプラズマエッチング装置等は、腐食性流体収納室Zを有し、腐食性流体収納室(反応管)Z内に配設されたプラズマを除去するための内管(エッチトンネル)44内では、NOと希ガス、NとOと希ガス、又は、Oと希ガスをプラズマ励起し、酸素励起活性種として酸素ラジカルが発生する。
つまり、プラズマと酸素ラジカルが混在するガスを、腐食性流体収納室Zで発生させ、腐食性流体収納室Zの内管(エッチトンネル)44でプラズマを除去し、酸素ラジカルのみにて半導体ウエハーの表面処理(エッチング等)を行う。表面処理後、内管44内の酸素ラジカルは、開閉扉46aを開放し配管45cから排出され、一方、表面処理された半導体ウエハーは、別の開閉扉46bを開けて取り出される。
As shown in FIG. 8, a plasma etching apparatus or the like in which the sealing material of the present invention is used has a corrosive fluid storage chamber Z, and plasma disposed in the corrosive fluid storage chamber (reaction tube) Z In the inner tube (etch tunnel) 44 for removal, N 2 O and rare gas, N 2 and O 2 and rare gas, or O 2 and rare gas are plasma-excited, and oxygen radicals are generated as oxygen-excited active species.

That is, a gas in which plasma and oxygen radicals are mixed is generated in the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z, the plasma is removed by the inner tube (etch tunnel) 44 of the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z, and the semiconductor wafer is formed only by oxygen radicals. Surface treatment (etching, etc.) is performed. After the surface treatment, oxygen radicals in the inner tube 44 are discharged from the pipe 45c by opening the door 46a, while the surface-treated semiconductor wafer is taken out by opening another door 46b.

例えば図8に示すように、本発明のシール材は、腐食性流体収納室Zと配管45aとの連結部Nや、腐食性流体収納室Zに通ずる配管45a,45b同士の連結部M等に配設されたり、あるいは、排出配管45cと腐食性流体収納室Zとの連結部(開閉扉46aの密閉部)Pや、半導体ウエハーを取り出すための開閉扉46bの密閉部Q等に配設される。   For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the sealing material of the present invention is applied to the connecting portion N between the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z and the pipe 45a, the connecting portion M between the pipes 45a and 45b communicating with the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z, and the like. Or a connecting portion (sealing portion of the opening / closing door 46a) P between the discharge pipe 45c and the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z, a sealing portion Q of the opening / closing door 46b for taking out the semiconductor wafer, and the like. The

上述した本発明のシール材の使用方法(作用)について説明する。
図1に示すように、弾性シール本体7の差込溝部34に、耐腐食用リング6の第2辺部32を挿嵌して挾持させる。なお、耐腐食用リング6と弾性シール本体7は、嵌め合わせる前後では、それぞれの形状の変化はほとんど生じない。
次に、図2に示すように、弾性シール本体7を圧縮しながら装着溝5内に押し込んで、耐腐食用リング6が腐食性流体収納室Z側の第1側壁面1に接近又は接触し、かつ、弾性シール本体7が第2側壁面2と底壁面3に接近又は接触するように装着する(装着未圧縮状態)。
The use method (action) of the sealing material of the present invention described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the second side portion 32 of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is inserted and held in the insertion groove portion 34 of the elastic seal body 7. Note that the shape of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 and the elastic seal body 7 hardly change before and after fitting.
Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the elastic seal body 7 is pressed into the mounting groove 5 while being compressed, and the corrosion-resistant ring 6 approaches or contacts the first side wall surface 1 on the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side. And it mounts | wears so that the elastic seal main body 7 may approach or contact the 2nd side wall surface 2 and the bottom wall surface 3 (mounting uncompressed state).

次に、シール取付部材23と相手部材20が相対的に接近すると、弾性シール本体7の山形突部11及び耐腐食用リング6の頂部30に相手部材20から圧縮荷重が加わると山形突部11と頂部30を相手部材20に(弾発的に)密接させて、図3に示す圧縮使用状態とする。
この際、弾性シール本体7の山形突部11が大きく弾性的に圧縮変形して、相手部材20に対して弾発的に密着させてシールする。また、弾性シール本体7は、相手部材20からの圧縮荷重により圧縮され潰され、側方突部9が第2側壁面2側へさらに膨出して第2側壁面2に密着し、かつ、平坦底面部33が底壁面3に高い面圧をもって密着して、弾性シール本体7は、圧縮弾性変形による体積移動により、耐腐食用リング6を(矢印Sにて示すように加圧して)内側から押し広げ、第1辺部31が第1側壁面1側に張り出すように(弾性)変形させる。
Next, when the seal mounting member 23 and the mating member 20 are relatively close to each other, when a compressive load is applied from the mating member 20 to the chevron 11 of the elastic seal body 7 and the top 30 of the corrosion-resistant ring 6, the chevron 11 Then, the top 30 is brought into close contact with the mating member 20 (elastically) to obtain the compression use state shown in FIG.
At this time, the chevron 11 of the elastic seal body 7 is greatly elastically compressed and deformed, and is elastically brought into close contact with the counterpart member 20 for sealing. Further, the elastic seal body 7 is compressed and crushed by the compressive load from the mating member 20, and the side protrusion 9 further bulges toward the second side wall surface 2 and is in close contact with the second side wall surface 2, and is flat. The bottom 33 is brought into close contact with the bottom wall surface 3 with a high surface pressure, and the elastic seal body 7 causes the corrosion-resistant ring 6 to be pressed from the inside (pressurized as indicated by the arrow S) by volume movement due to compression elastic deformation. The first side portion 31 is expanded (elastically) so as to protrude toward the first side wall surface 1 side.

即ち、耐腐食用リング6は、頂部30が相手部材20に密接(密着)し、かつ、弾性シール本体7の圧縮弾性変形に伴う加圧によって開脚方向に(弾性)変形し、第1辺部31が第1側壁面1に密接(密着)して、弾性シール本体7と腐食性流体収納室Zとを遮断する。
圧縮使用状態下では、耐腐食用リング6は、弾性シール本体7に加圧され続けることで、頂部30が相手部材20に密接(密着)し、かつ、第1辺部31が第1側壁面1に密接(密着)した状態を保持し、弾性シール本体7と腐食性流体収納室Zとを遮断する。
That is, the anticorrosion ring 6 has its top portion 30 in close contact (adherence) to the mating member 20 and is deformed (elastically) in the leg-opening direction by the pressurization accompanying the compression elastic deformation of the elastic seal body 7. The portion 31 is brought into close contact with the first side wall surface 1 to block the elastic seal body 7 from the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z.
Under the compression use condition, the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is continuously pressurized to the elastic seal body 7, so that the top portion 30 comes into close contact (contact) with the mating member 20 and the first side portion 31 is the first side wall surface. The elastic seal main body 7 and the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z are shut off while maintaining a close (close) state to 1.

そして、シール取付部材23と相手部材20を相対的に離間させると、弾性シール本体7の山形突部11と耐腐食用リング6の頂部30に付加されていた(相手部材20からの)圧縮荷重が開放され、その圧縮荷重により生じていた弾性シール本体7の圧縮弾性変形もなくなって、元の形状に(弾発的に)復元する。この際、耐腐食用リング6は、弾性シール本体7からの圧力が除去され、(第1辺部31が外側方に張り出した状態から)元の形状に復元し、第1辺部31が第1側壁面1から離れる。耐腐食用リング6は、相手部材20からの圧縮荷重が直接にかからないため、開放後は歪みが残らず、図2に示す装着未圧縮状態に戻る。従って、本発明のシール材は、複数回にわたって繰返し圧縮・開放を繰り返す動作部に於て、シール性を低下させることがなく、真空保持性(密封性)と耐腐食性を長期間にわたって維持する。   When the seal mounting member 23 and the mating member 20 are relatively separated from each other, the compressive load (from the mating member 20) applied to the chevron 11 of the elastic seal body 7 and the top 30 of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is obtained. Is released, and the elastic elastic seal body 7 caused by the compressive load is no longer compressed and elastically deformed, and is restored to its original shape (elastically). At this time, the pressure from the elastic seal body 7 is removed and the anticorrosion ring 6 is restored to its original shape (from the state in which the first side portion 31 projects outward). 1 Separate from the side wall surface 1. Since the corrosion resistant ring 6 is not directly subjected to the compressive load from the mating member 20, no distortion remains after opening, and it returns to the uncompressed state shown in FIG. Therefore, the sealing material of the present invention maintains the vacuum holding property (sealing property) and the corrosion resistance over a long period of time without deteriorating the sealing property in the operation portion that repeatedly compresses and releases multiple times. .

なお、本発明は、設計変更可能であって、例えば、図4に示すように、耐腐食用リング6は、第2辺部32の脱落防止用返し部8が、(断面)矢印形状として、三角鈎部を2個両側に有しても良く、あるいは、図5に示すように、断面円形膨出状としても良い。
また、装着溝5は、図1〜図3に示す形状に限定されるものではなく、例えば、図6に示すように、第1側壁面1と第2側壁面2が開口部4の近傍位置で急に接近するように形成された蟻溝状であっても良く、あるいは、図7に示すように、第1側壁面1のみが開口部4に近づくにつれて接近する片側蟻溝状とするも良い。
なお、図示省略するが、腐食性流体収納室Zが外周側に配設されている場合には、腐食性流体に耐性のある耐腐食用リング6を、外周側に配設し、弾性シール本体7を内周側に配設する。この場合、圧縮使用状態下で、耐腐食用リング6が密着する第1側壁面1は外周側とし、かつ、弾性シール本体7が密着する第2側壁面2は内周側とする。
The design of the present invention can be changed. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the anticorrosion ring 6 has an anti-falling return portion 8 of the second side portion 32 in a (cross-sectional) arrow shape. Two triangular hooks may be provided on both sides, or as shown in FIG.
The mounting groove 5 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the first side wall surface 1 and the second side wall surface 2 are positioned in the vicinity of the opening 4. 7 may be a dovetail shape formed so as to approach suddenly, or, as shown in FIG. 7, it may be a one-side dovetail shape in which only the first side wall surface 1 approaches as it approaches the opening 4. good.
Although not shown, when the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z is disposed on the outer peripheral side, a corrosion-resistant ring 6 that is resistant to the corrosive fluid is disposed on the outer peripheral side, and the elastic seal body 7 is disposed on the inner peripheral side. In this case, the first side wall surface 1 with which the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is in close contact under compression is the outer peripheral side, and the second side wall surface 2 with which the elastic seal body 7 is in close contact is with the inner peripheral side.

以上のように、本発明に係るシール材は、開口部4と、第1側壁面1と、第2側壁面2と、底壁面3とを、有する環状の装着溝5内に装着される環状のシール材であって、腐食性流体収納室Z側の第1側壁面1に接近又は接触するように配設される耐腐食用リング6と、第2側壁面2と底壁面3に接近又は接触するように配設される弾性シール本体7と、から成り、耐腐食用リング6は、開口部4に相対的に接近・離間する相手部材20に向かって頂部30が突出状に折れ曲ると共に第1辺部31と第2辺部32を有する横断面V字状であって、弾性シール本体7は、装着未圧縮状態の横断面に於て、相手部材20に向かって突出状の山形突部11と、第2側壁面2側に膨出する側方突部9と、底壁面3に対応した平坦底面部33と、第2辺部32が差込まれる差込溝部34と、を有し、圧縮使用状態に於て、山形突部11及び頂部30が相手部材20に密接し、かつ、第1辺部31は第1側壁面1に密接するように構成したので、耐腐食用リング6は、その第2辺部32が(差込溝部34内に差込まれて挾圧保持され)常に安定姿勢を保ちつつ、頂部30は相手部材20に圧接し、第1辺部31は第1側壁面1に確実に密接し、もって、耐腐食用リング6は、腐食性流体21が弾性シール本体7側へ流れるのを確実に阻止でき、かつ、弾性シール本体7は、大気側22等が腐食性流体収納室Z側に入り込むのを確実に阻止できる。従って、弾性シール本体7は腐食性流体21によって劣化しないので、密封性を長期的に維持でき、かつ、(半導体製造装置等に於て、)その劣化による弾性シール本体7の発塵が起こらないので、製品に不純物が付着するのを防止できる。相手部材20からの圧縮荷重が弾性シール本体7の弾性変形によって吸収され、耐腐食用リング6に直接かからないため、圧縮荷重を開放した際、耐腐食用リング6の歪みが無く、複数回にわたって圧縮・開放動作を繰り返して使用できる。従って、部品交換・メンテナンスのコストを削減できる。装着溝5が1つで済み、装置の小型化に貢献できる。圧縮荷重開放時の脱落を防止でき、接着剤を使用していないため、接着剤の混入やガスの発生等の問題を解決できる。   As described above, the sealing material according to the present invention is annularly mounted in the annular mounting groove 5 having the opening 4, the first side wall surface 1, the second side wall surface 2, and the bottom wall surface 3. A corrosion-resistant ring 6 disposed so as to approach or contact the first side wall surface 1 on the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side, and the second side wall surface 2 and the bottom wall surface 3 The anticorrosion ring 6 has a top portion 30 bent into a protruding shape toward a mating member 20 that is relatively close to and away from the opening 4. In addition, the elastic seal body 7 has a V-shaped cross section having a first side portion 31 and a second side portion 32, and the elastic seal body 7 protrudes toward the mating member 20 in a cross section in an uncompressed state. The protrusion 11, the side protrusion 9 bulging toward the second side wall surface 2, the flat bottom surface 33 corresponding to the bottom wall surface 3, and the second side And the insertion groove part 34 into which 32 is inserted, in the compression use state, the mountain-shaped protrusion 11 and the top part 30 are in close contact with the mating member 20, and the first side part 31 is the first side wall surface 1. The anti-corrosion ring 6 has a second side 32 (inserted into the insertion groove 34 and held under pressure) so that the stable position is always maintained, and the top 30 is the counterpart. The first side 31 is in close contact with the first side wall surface 1 in pressure contact with the member 20, so that the anti-corrosion ring 6 can reliably prevent the corrosive fluid 21 from flowing toward the elastic seal body 7. Moreover, the elastic seal body 7 can reliably prevent the atmosphere side 22 and the like from entering the corrosive fluid storage chamber Z side. Therefore, since the elastic seal body 7 is not deteriorated by the corrosive fluid 21, the sealing performance can be maintained for a long period of time, and the dust generation of the elastic seal body 7 due to the deterioration does not occur (in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus or the like). Therefore, it is possible to prevent impurities from adhering to the product. Since the compressive load from the mating member 20 is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the elastic seal body 7 and is not directly applied to the anticorrosion ring 6, when the compressive load is released, the anticorrosion ring 6 is not distorted and compressed several times. -It can be used by repeating the opening operation. Therefore, the cost of parts replacement / maintenance can be reduced. One mounting groove 5 is sufficient, which contributes to downsizing of the apparatus. Dropping when releasing the compression load can be prevented, and since no adhesive is used, problems such as mixing of adhesive and generation of gas can be solved.

また、耐腐食用リング6は、第2辺部32に脱落防止用返し部8を突設しているので、弾性シール本体7から脱落せず、安定姿勢を常に保ち、耐腐食性を維持できる。   Further, since the anti-corrosion ring 6 is provided with the drop-out preventing return portion 8 on the second side portion 32, the anti-corrosion ring 6 does not fall off from the elastic seal body 7, and can always maintain a stable posture and maintain the corrosion resistance. .

また、装着未圧縮状態で、平坦底面部33から耐腐食用リング6の頂部30までの上下長さ寸法hは、弾性シール本体7の高さ寸法Hの0.7倍〜1.0倍に設定されているので、真空保持性(密封性)と耐腐食性を発揮でき、複数回にわたって使用してもシール性を確保できる。   Further, in the uncompressed state, the vertical length h from the flat bottom surface portion 33 to the top portion 30 of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is 0.7 to 1.0 times the height dimension H of the elastic seal body 7. Since it is set, vacuum retention (sealing performance) and corrosion resistance can be exhibited, and sealing performance can be secured even when used multiple times.

また、装着未圧縮状態に於て、側方突部9の外端から第1辺部31の外端に至る左右長さ寸法Lは、開口部4の開口幅寸法Wの1.1倍〜1.5倍に設定されているので、装着溝5への装着が容易であり、かつ、脱落を防止できる。 In the uncompressed state, the left and right length L from the outer end of the side projection 9 to the outer end of the first side 31 is 1.1 times the opening width W 0 of the opening 4. Since it is set to ˜1.5 times, it is easy to attach to the mounting groove 5 and it is possible to prevent the dropout.

また、装着未圧縮状態に於て、底壁面3と平坦底面部33が左右方向に当接する接触幅寸法Wは、底壁面3の溝底幅寸法Wの0.3倍〜0.7倍に設定されているので、圧縮荷重開放時に、相手部材20への吸着(固着)による脱落を防止できる。 Further, in the uncompressed state, the contact width dimension W 1 at which the bottom wall surface 3 and the flat bottom surface portion 33 contact in the left-right direction is 0.3 times to 0.7 times the groove bottom width dimension W 2 of the bottom wall surface 3. Since it is set to double, it is possible to prevent the dropout due to adsorption (adherence) to the mating member 20 when the compression load is released.

また、装着未圧縮状態で、耐腐食用リング6の肉厚寸法Tは、0.2mm〜2.0mmに設定されているので、弾性シール本体7の圧縮弾性変形に伴う加圧により適度に変形し、耐腐食性を発揮できる。   In addition, since the wall thickness dimension T of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 is set to 0.2 mm to 2.0 mm in the uncompressed state, the elastic seal body 7 is appropriately deformed by pressurization accompanying the compression elastic deformation. And exhibit corrosion resistance.

また、装着未圧縮状態に於て、耐腐食用リング6と底壁面3との間に、隙間Gが形成されているので、耐腐食用リング6の可動域を確保できる。   Further, since the gap G is formed between the corrosion-resistant ring 6 and the bottom wall surface 3 in the uncompressed state, the movable range of the corrosion-resistant ring 6 can be secured.
