JP, 2000-320677, A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-167966

By the way, when trying to assemble the seal ring into the sealing device, it is necessary to assemble the seal ring into the annular groove of the shaft of the sealing device. In this assembly, the diameter of the seal ring is expanded more than when it is mounted in the annular groove, the shaft body is inserted through the center hole of the seal ring, and then the seal ring is fitted in the annular groove. However, when expanding the diameter of the seal ring, a part that plastically deforms may be formed in a part of the seal ring. When such compositional deformation occurs, the outer diameter of the seal ring in the free state (outer diameter when no external force is applied to the seal ring after assembly) is larger than the outer diameter of the seal ring in use. turn into.

In this way, when the seal ring is fitted into the annular groove in a state where the seal ring is plastically deformed, the seal ring may have a portion protruding (protruding) from the shaft body. When such a protruding portion exists, when the shaft body to which the seal ring is attached is attempted to be inserted into the hole portion of the housing, it may interfere with the end surface of the hole portion. Therefore, when the shaft body is inserted into the shaft hole of the housing, the seal ring may be broken or damaged. If such breakage or damage occurs, the sealing performance of the seal ring may deteriorate .

The seal ring disclosed in Patent Document 1 is not a resin seal ring but a metal seal ring because it is used in a high temperature environment such as an aircraft turbine. Therefore, since the elastically deformable region is large, it is in a state in which a problem such as a resin seal ring caused by plastic deformation is unlikely to occur.

In addition, the seal ring incorporated in the sealing device is not joined to each other at the abutment portion, and has a slight gap so that one end side and the other end side of the seal ring forming the abutment portion can move to each other. Therefore, when the sealing device is used, the diameter of the sealing device is allowed to be slightly increased due to the action of the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil. However, the seal ring disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a configuration in which a gripping margin is provided on the seal ring, and a centering concavo-convex portion is provided for preventing misalignment of the adhering surface on the premise of adhesion with an adhesive material. is there. Therefore, unlike a seal ring used in a sealing device using hydraulic oil, it is not configured to have an abutting portion that is not joined and has a slight gap. Application as a ring is difficult. Further, since the structure disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a gripping margin, it is difficult to insert the seal ring into the shaft hole of the housing after mounting the seal ring in the annular groove of the shaft body.

Hereinafter, a method for assembling the resin seal ring 10 and the sealing device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the axial direction of the resin seal ring 10 is the Z direction. Further, in the resin seal ring 10, the upper side in FIG. 1 is the Z1 side, and the lower side opposite thereto is the Z2 side.

[1. Regarding the overall configuration of the resin seal ring 10]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a resin seal ring 10. In the following description, the resin seal ring 10 may be simply referred to as the seal ring 10. The seal ring 10 shown in FIG. 1 is manufactured, for example, by injection molding a predetermined resin. As a resin constituting the seal ring 10 by performing such injection molding, for example, polyamide (PA), fluororesin and its alloy material, liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyimide (PI), polyetherketone (PEK). Super engineering plastics such as Polyaryletherketone (PAEK), Polyetherketoneetherketoneketone (PEKEKK), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and Polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) can be used. Benzimidazole (PBI) can also be preferably used.

The seal ring 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes an annular ring-shaped portion 20, and a first abutment end portion 30 is provided on one end side in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped portion 20. Further, a second abutment end portion 40 is provided on the other end side in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped portion 20. The first abutment end 30 corresponds to one abutment end, and the second abutment end 40 corresponds to the other abutment end. However, the first abutment end 30 may correspond to the other abutment end, and the second abutment end 40 may correspond to one of the abutment ends.

A gap 50, which is a gap, is provided between the first end 30 and the second end 40. That is, the abutment gap 50 is a first abutment end 30 that is one end side in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped portion 20, and a second abutment end portion that is the other end side in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped portion 20. It exists between 40. However, it may be a state in which the abutment gap 50 is almost nonexistent due to the contact between the concave portion and the convex portion described later.

FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view showing an enlarged configuration of the seal ring 10 shown in FIG. 1 in the vicinity of the gap 50. FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view showing a configuration near the first abutment end portion 30 of the seal ring 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view showing the configuration near the second abutment end portion 40 of the seal ring 10 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the first abutment end portion 30 is a portion located on one end side of the ring-shaped portion 20, and has a thinner wall thickness in the radial direction than the ring-shaped portion 20. It is a part having 31. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the second abutment end portion 40 is a portion located on the other end side of the ring-shaped portion 20, and has a thickness in the radial direction of the ring-shaped portion 20. This is a portion having a thin portion 41 having a small thickness. Note that, as shown in FIG. 2, the thin portion 31 is located on the inner diameter side of the thin portion 41.

Further, the first abutment end portion 30 is provided with a convex portion 32. The protruding portion 32 is a portion protruding from the thin portion 31 toward the outer diameter side, and the protruding end surface of the protruding portion 32 is provided so as to be flush with the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped portion 20. The convex portion 32 is provided with a smaller thickness in the axial thickness direction than the other portions of the ring-shaped portion 20. That is, on one end side in the circumferential direction of the ring-shaped portion 20 and on the outer diameter side of the thin portion 31, there are provided notch portions 33, 34 having a recessed shape like a notch, The portion sandwiched between the pair of notches 33 and 34 is the protrusion 32.

The cutout portion 33 is a portion that is adjacent on the outer diameter side of the thin portion 31 and that is recessed from one side (Z1 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) toward the other side (Z2 side). Is. The notch 34 is a portion that is adjacent on the outer diameter side of the thin portion 31 and that is recessed from the other side (Z2 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) toward one side (Z1 side). Is.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a thin portion 41 is also provided on the second abutment end portion 40. The thin portion 41 is provided on the outer diameter side of the thin portion 31. The total radial thickness of the thin portion 31 and the thin portion 41 is substantially equal to that of the ring-shaped portion 20.

The thin portion 41 has a recess 42. The concave portion 42 is a portion cut out so as to penetrate the thin portion 41 in the radial direction. Therefore, the thin portion 41 is provided with a pair of sandwiching pieces 43 and 44 so as to sandwich the recess 42. Of these, the sandwiching piece portion 43 is a portion located on one side (Z1 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) with respect to the recessed portion 42. Further, the sandwiching piece portion 44 is a portion located on the other side (Z2 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) than the recessed portion 42. The sandwiching piece portion 43 corresponds to the first sandwiching piece portion, and the sandwiching piece portion 44 corresponds to the second sandwiching piece portion.

Thus, since the thin portion 41 of the second abutment end portion 40 is provided with the recess 42, the sandwiching piece portion 43, and the sandwiching piece portion 44, the appearance of the second abutment end portion 40 is It has a split fork shape.

Here, the first abutment end portion 30 and the second abutment end portion 40 are portions that are fitted to each other. Specifically, the convex portion 32 is inserted into the concave portion 42, and the outer peripheral surface of the thin portion 31 and the inner peripheral surface of the thin portion 41 are butted against each other, whereby the first abutment end portion 30 and the second The mating end 40 and the mating end 40 are fitted together. In this fitted state, the gap of the abutment gap 50 is greatly reduced. However, when the seal ring 10 is mounted in the annular groove of the shaft body, which will be described later, the diameter of the seal ring 10 is expanded so that the gap 50 is widened.

In addition, in the second abutment end portion 40, a cutout portion 45 having a recessed shape like a cutout is provided on the inner diameter side of the thin portion 41. The cutout portion 45 is adjacent to the thin portion 41 on the inner diameter side of the thin portion 41.

[2. Regarding the specific configuration of the seal ring 10]
(1) First Configuration Example of Seal Ring 10 A specific configuration of the seal ring 10 will be described below. First, the seal ring 10 according to the first configuration example will be described. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the vicinity of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 of the seal ring 10 according to the first configuration example is cut along the circumferential direction, and before the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state (operating state) in which the above state or the reduced diameter state of the resin seal ring 10 is released. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state in which the distal end side of the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61 from the state shown in FIG. 5 and the resin seal ring 10 is temporarily held in a reduced diameter state. is there.

5 and 6 show a state in which the resin seal ring 10 is attached to the annular groove 110 of the shaft body 100, which is inserted into the shaft hole of the housing of the sealing device (hereinafter, referred to as FIG. 7). ~Similar in FIG. 26).

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a temporary holding portion 60 is provided on each of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 of the resin seal ring 10. The temporary holding portion 60 is a portion that temporarily holds the resin seal ring 10 in a reduced diameter state. Specifically, on the inner side of the recess 42 that is farthest from the opening 42a of the recess 42, there is provided a spacing throttle 61 having a smaller dimension in the thickness direction (Z direction) than the other portions of the recess 42.

Here, the dimension in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the convex portion 32 is L1, and the dimension in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the concave portion 42 other than the interval narrowing portion 61 (the facing interval between the sandwiching piece portion 43 and the sandwiching piece portion 44) is set. If the dimension of the interval narrowing portion 61 in the thickness direction (Z direction) (the opposing interval between the sandwiching piece portion 43 and the sandwiching piece portion 44 on the inner side of the recess 42) is L3, the following Expression 1 is established.
L2≧L1>L3 (Equation 1)

However, L1 which is the dimension of the convex portion 32 in the thickness direction (Z direction) is slightly larger than L3 which is the dimension of the interval throttle portion 61 in the thickness direction (Z direction). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the tip end side of the convex portion 32 is inserted into the gap narrowing portion 61, and in this state, the reduced diameter state of the resin seal ring 10 is temporarily held. However, in the operating state of the sealing device, as shown in FIG. 5, the dimension L1 and the dimension L3 are set so that the interval throttle portion 61 is disengaged from the tip end side of the convex portion 32 by the action of hydraulic oil. ..

A flat surface portion 32 a parallel to the circumferential direction of the resin seal ring 10 is provided on the outer surface of the convex portion 32. Further, the interval throttle portion 61 is also provided with a flat surface portion 61a parallel to the circumferential direction of the resin seal ring 10. Therefore, the flat portion 32a and the flat portion 61a are in frictional contact with each other, so that the resin seal ring 10 temporarily holds the reduced diameter state.

Here, when the tip end side of the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61 due to the fact that the relationship of the above-described Expression 1 is established and the elasticity of the sandwiching piece portion 43 and the sandwiching piece portion 44, it is shown in FIG. It becomes a state. That is, the distance between the sandwiching piece portion 43 and the sandwiching piece portion 44 is such that the dimension L2 in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the recessed portion 42 other than the spacing throttle portion 61 increases from the inner side of the recessed portion 42 toward the opening 42a side. Is spread. For this reason, the tip end side of the convex portion 32 can be relatively easily inserted into the interval throttle portion 61, while the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil acts in the operating state of the sealing device, so that the resin The seal ring 10 is expanded in diameter, whereby the tip end side of the convex portion 32 is easily removed from the interval throttle portion 61.

(2) Second Configuration Example of Seal Ring 10 Next, a second configuration example of the seal ring 10 will be described. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the vicinity of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 of the seal ring 10 according to the second configuration example is cut along the circumferential direction, and before the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state (operating state) in which the state or the reduced state of the resin seal ring 10 is released. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a state in which the distal end side of the convex portion is inserted into the interval throttle portion from the state shown in FIG. 7 and the resin seal ring 10 is temporarily held in a reduced diameter state.

The resin seal ring 10 according to the second configuration example also includes the interval throttle portion 61, similarly to the configuration of the resin seal ring 10 according to the first configuration. However, in the resin seal ring 10 according to the second configuration example, the taper guide surface 61b is provided at the inlet portion of the interval throttle portion 61. The taper guide surface 61b is a surface that guides the tip end side of the convex portion 32 to be inserted into the interval throttle portion 61, and is a surface inclined with respect to the thickness direction (Z direction). Note that the tapered guide surface 61b may have a flat surface shape or a curved surface shape as long as the insertion of the interval narrowing portion 61 of the convex portion 32 is well guided (the insertion does not project).

Therefore, from the state before the protrusion 32 shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the interval throttle 61, the protrusion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle 61 as shown in FIG. It is possible to easily realize the temporary holding state in which the state in which the diameter is reduced is temporarily held. In the temporary holding state, the flat surface portion 32a of the convex portion 32 and the flat surface portion 61a of the interval narrowing portion 61 frictionally contact with each other to temporarily hold the reduced diameter of the resin seal ring 10. ing.

The resin seal ring 10 according to the second configuration example has the same configuration as the resin seal ring 10 according to the first configuration example described above except for the taper guide surface 61b, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. ..

(3) Third Configuration Example of Seal Ring 10 Next, a third configuration example of the seal ring 10 will be described. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the vicinity of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 of the seal ring 10 according to the third configuration example is cut along the circumferential direction, and before the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state (operating state) in which the state or the reduced state of the resin seal ring 10 is released. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state in which the distal end side of the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61 from the state shown in FIG. 9 and the resin seal ring 10 is temporarily held in a reduced diameter state. is there.

The resin seal ring 10 according to the third configuration example also includes the interval throttle portion 61, similarly to the configuration of the resin seal ring 10 according to the first configuration example. However, in the resin seal ring 10 according to the third configuration example, the tapered guide surface 32b is provided on the tip side of the convex portion 32. The taper guide surface 32b is a surface that guides the tip end side of the convex portion 32 to be inserted into the interval throttle portion 61, and is a surface inclined with respect to the thickness direction (Z direction). Note that the tapered guide surface 32b may have a flat surface shape or a curved surface shape as long as the insertion of the interval narrowing portion 61 of the convex portion 32 is properly guided (the insertion does not stick).

Therefore, the protrusion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle 61 as shown in FIG. 10 from the state before the protrusion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle 61 as shown in FIG. It is possible to easily realize the temporary holding state in which the state in which the diameter is reduced is temporarily held. In the temporary holding state, the flat surface portion 32a of the convex portion 32 and the flat surface portion 61a of the interval narrowing portion 61 frictionally contact with each other to temporarily hold the reduced diameter of the resin seal ring 10. ing.

Note that the resin seal ring 10 according to the third configuration example has the same configuration as the resin seal ring 10 according to the first configuration example described above except for the taper guide surface 32b, and thus description thereof will be omitted. ..

(4) Fourth Configuration Example of Seal Ring 10 Next, a fourth configuration example of the seal ring 10 will be described. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the vicinity of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 of the seal ring 10 according to the fourth configuration example is cut along the circumferential direction, and before the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state (operating state) in which the state or the reduced state of the resin seal ring 10 is released. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state in which the distal end side of the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61 from the state shown in FIG. 11 and the resin seal ring 10 is temporarily held in a reduced diameter state. is there.

In the resin seal ring 10 according to the fourth configuration example, the shape of the interval throttle portion 61 is different from that of the interval throttle portion 61 according to the first to third configuration examples described above. Specifically, the interval narrowing portion 61 is provided with a protrusion 61c instead of the flat portion 61a. The protrusion 61c is a portion protruding from the inner wall surface 42b of the recess 42. In the configurations shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the protrusion 61c protruding from the inner wall surface 42b on one side (Z1 side) of the recess 42 in the thickness direction (Z direction) and the other side (Z2 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction).

In the configuration shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, the protrusion 35b is provided so as to protrude from the flat portion 32a on one side (Z1 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the protrusion 32. However, the protrusion 35b is not provided on the side of the flat portion 32a on the other side (Z2 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the protrusion 32. In other words, the protruding portion 35b is provided so as to protrude from only one (one) flat surface portion 32a of the pair of facing flat surface portions 32a.

Here, the inner wall surface 42b facing the dimension enlarged portion 35 (projection portion 35b) is a flat surface portion. In the tenth configuration example, the dimension enlarging portion 35 is a portion where the protrusion 35b and the flat surface portion 32a on the other side (Z2 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) face each other, and the dimension enlarging is performed. The dimension L4 in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the portion 35 is set larger than the dimension L2 in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the recess 42. In addition, it is preferable that the dimension L4 of the dimension enlarged portion 35 of the tenth configuration example is equal to the dimension L4 of the dimension enlarged portion 35 of the ninth configuration example. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, it is preferable that the protrusion size of the protrusion 35b is equal to the sum of the protrusion sizes of the pair of protrusions 35b in the ninth configuration example.

With such a configuration, the dimension-enlarged portion 35 as shown in FIG. 24 is inserted into the recess 42 from a state before the dimension-enlarged portion 35 as shown in FIG.

Although the other configurations are the same as those of the resin seal ring 10 according to the sixth configuration example described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

(11) About Eleventh Configuration Example of Seal Ring 10 Next, an eleventh configuration example of the seal ring 10 will be described. FIG. 25 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the vicinity of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 of the seal ring 10 according to the eleventh configuration example is cut along the circumferential direction, and before the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state (operating state) in which the state or the reduced state of the resin seal ring 10 is released. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a state in which the distal end side of the convex portion 32 is inserted into the interval throttle portion 61 from the state shown in FIG. 25 and the resin seal ring 10 is temporarily held in a reduced diameter state. is there.

The resin seal ring 10 according to the eleventh configuration example also includes the interval throttle portion 61, similarly to the configuration of the resin seal ring 10 according to the first configuration. However, in the resin seal ring 10 according to the eleventh configuration example, the inner wall surface of the recess 42 on the opening 42a side of the interval throttle portion 61 is the inclined inner wall surface 42c. The inclined inner wall surface 42c is a surface that guides the protrusion 32 to be inserted into the interval throttle portion 61, and is a surface inclined with respect to the thickness direction (Z direction). Specifically, the inclined inner wall surface 42c is formed such that the dimension between the opposed inclined inner wall surfaces 42c gradually increases toward the opening 42a. The inclined inner wall surface 42c is an inner wall surface that is linearly inclined, but may be slightly curved.

It is possible to easily realize the temporary holding state in which the state in which the diameter is reduced is temporarily held. Further, the contact between the inclined inner wall surface 42c and the tapered wall surface 36a can prevent the first abutment end portion 30 and the second abutment end portion 40 from being displaced from each other in the axial direction (Z direction). it can.

The resin seal ring 10 according to the eleventh configuration example is the same as the resin seal ring 10 according to the first configuration example described above except for the tapered wall surface 36a, the tapered enlarged portion 36, and the inclined inner wall surface 42c. Therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

[3. Assembly method of sealing device]
Next, a method of assembling the sealing device, in which the resin seal ring 10 described above is attached to the shaft body 100 to assemble a sealing device (not shown), will be described. When assembling the sealing device, the expanded resin seal ring 10 is attached to the annular groove 110 of the shaft 100 (seal ring attaching step).

After the mounting, the convex portion 32 is pushed into the concave portion 42, and the temporary holding portion 60 of the resin seal ring 10 temporarily holds the seal ring of the resin seal ring 10 (temporary holding step). Then, the resin seal ring 10 is reduced in diameter so that the resin seal ring 10 does not protrude from the annular groove 110. After the diameter reduction, the shaft body 100 is inserted into the shaft hole of the housing while the resin seal ring 10 is in the diameter reduced state (insertion step).

When the sealing device is operated through the above-described steps and various steps thereafter, the hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic oil of the sealing device, that is, the convex portion 32 moves in the direction in which the concave portion 42 is removed, The reduced diameter state of the seal ring 10 is released. Thereby, the resin seal ring 10 can exhibit a desired sealing property.

[4. About effect]
The resin seal ring 10 as described above is mounted in the annular groove 110 provided on the outer periphery of the shaft body 100 to seal the gap between the shaft body 100 and the housing (not shown). Along with this, there is a gap 50 between the first abutment end 30 (one abutment end) and the second abutment end 40 (the other abutment end). In this resin seal ring 10, the first abutment end portion 30 (one abutment end portion) and the second abutment end portion 40 (the other abutment end portion) are made of resin in a state in which they are in contact with each other. A temporary holding portion 60 is provided for temporarily holding the reduced diameter state of the seal ring 10.

Here, when the resin-made seal ring 10 is mounted in the annular groove 110, the diameter of the resin-made seal ring 10 is expanded, but at that time, a portion plastically deformed to a part of the resin-made seal ring 10 is formed. May be formed. When such compositional deformation occurs, the outer diameter of the resin seal ring 10 in the free state (the outer diameter in a state where no external force is applied to the resin seal ring 10 after assembly) is There is a possibility that the outer diameter of the seal ring 10 may become larger than the outer diameter in the used state.

However, in the present embodiment, since the resin seal ring 10 is provided with the temporary holding portion 60, the reduced diameter state of the resin seal ring 10 can be maintained. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the resin seal ring 10 from becoming large so as to jump out from the annular groove 110. As a result, when the resin seal ring 10 is inserted into the shaft hole of the housing and the shaft body 100 mounted in the annular groove 110 is inserted, the resin seal ring 10 interferes with the opening end of the shaft hole. As a result, it is possible to prevent the resin seal ring 10 from being broken or damaged. As described above, since it is possible to prevent the resin seal ring 10 from being damaged, it is possible to prevent the malfunction of the sealing device due to the deterioration of the sealing performance of the resin seal ring 10 or the like.

In addition, in the resin seal ring 10 of the present embodiment, the first abutment end portion 30 (one of the abutment end portions) has the convex portion 32 that protrudes to one side in the circumferential direction of the resin seal ring 10. Is provided. Further, the second abutment end portion 40 (the other abutment end portion) is provided with a concave portion 42 into which the convex portion 32 is inserted. Further, the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 contract the resin seal ring 10 by contacting at least a part of the outer surface of the convex portion 32 with the inner surface of the concave portion 42 when the concave portion 42 is inserted into the convex portion 32. It is configured to temporarily hold the diameter.

In the case of such a configuration, the temporary holding portion 60 is provided by realizing the fitted state of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 and utilizing the friction in the contact between the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 in the fitted state. Therefore, the reduced diameter state of the resin seal ring 10 can be maintained.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second abutment end portion 40 (the other abutment end portion) has a sandwiching piece portion that is present on one side (Z1 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) of the resin seal ring 10. 43 (first sandwiching piece portion) and a sandwiching piece portion 44 (second sandwiching piece portion) existing on the other side (Z2 side) in the thickness direction (Z direction) are provided, and the recess 42 forms the sandwiching piece. It is provided between the portion 43 (first sandwiching piece portion) and the sandwiching piece portion 44 (second sandwiching piece portion).

In such a configuration, the convex portion 32 can be inserted into the concave portion 42 between the sandwiching piece portion 43 (first sandwiching piece portion) and the sandwiching piece portion 44 (second sandwiching piece portion). Therefore, the elasticity of the sandwiching piece portion 43 (first sandwiching piece portion) and the sandwiching piece portion 44 (second sandwiching piece portion) is used to reduce the shrinkage of the resin seal ring 10 in which the protrusion 32 is inserted into the recess 42. The diameter state can be maintained.

Further, in the present embodiment, at least one of the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42 has a flat surface portion (a flat surface portion 32a, a flat surface portion 35a, an inner wall surface 42b, a flat surface portion) parallel to the circumferential direction of the resin seal ring 10. 61a) is provided. The plane portion (the plane portion 32a, the plane portion 35a, the inner wall surface 42b, and the plane portion 61a) is in frictional contact with the counterpart of the contact between the convex portion 32 and the concave portion 42. Therefore, the protrusion 32 can be smoothly removed from the recess 42 in a state where there is no catch between the recess 42 and the protrusion 32.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 14, an interval throttle portion 61 can be provided in the concave portion 42, and the interval throttle portion 61 has an interval L3 more than the other portion of the convex portion 32. Is a portion that is narrowly provided. Further, the interval throttle portion 61 is in frictional contact with the convex portion 32 while sandwiching the convex portion 32.

In the case of such a configuration, the convex portion 32 can be sandwiched between the interval narrowing portions 61. Therefore, by utilizing the frictional contact between the interval throttle portion 61 and the outer surface of the convex portion 32, it is possible to maintain the reduced diameter state of the resin seal ring 10 in which the convex portion 32 is inserted into the concave portion 42.
