Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a brake lining material used in a braking device for a conveyor such as a belt conveyor.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, organic lining materials and metallic lining materials have been used as brake lining materials for conveyors. The organic lining material is obtained by solidifying a friction material using a resin as a binder, and includes, for example, inorganic fibers such as asbestos fibers, organic fibers, metal fibers and inorganic powders such as calcium carbonate, and further copper (Cu), zinc ( Z
n), metal powder such as lead (Pb), wires, chips, etc. are mixed and hardened with phenol resin or the like. The metallic lining material is a friction material or a lubricant that is hardened with a sintered alloy. For example, 10 wt.
% Graphite powder and several wt% silica powder are sintered with copper-based powder containing about 10 wt% iron powder.

However, in recent years, with the speeding up of conveyors and the severer conditions of use, the required characteristics of brake lining materials have become extremely severe. The brake lining material comes into contact with the sliding surface and reduces the sliding speed due to friction under a load, and it must withstand repeated use several thousand times.

Therefore, the brake lining material is required to have durability to withstand a large frictional force repeatedly applied thereto. At the same time, the sliding surface of the mating material must not be damaged, and the grinding action that wears the mating material must be suppressed as much as possible.

The friction coefficient is required to be stable at high temperatures without withstanding a temperature rise or load caused by repeated use and largely changing. Regarding durability, it must have heat resistance as well as strength and abrasion resistance.

[0006] In particular, a conveyor is required to have a large braking force due to an increase in the weight of a transported object with an increase in size, and a brake lining material for a conveyor has a large strength, wear resistance, heat resistance and a stable friction coefficient. Is required.

[0007]

However, although the organic lining material solidified with a phenol resin which has been conventionally used is inexpensive, the strength is low, the amount of wear is large under a large load, and the friction coefficient immediately decreases. . Especially 30 due to friction heat
When the temperature exceeds 0 ° C, the phenol resin as a binder is carbonized or decomposed, and the friction coefficient is drastically lowered, and at the same time, the wear resistance is also drastically lowered.

Further, even in the metallic lining materials that have been conventionally used, the temperature increase is large in the brake lining material to which a large load is applied, and the material to be braked by the other party (hereinafter referred to as the other material).
And, there was a case where it was burned, and both myself and others were worn out.

Therefore, the conventional brake lining material has a short period of use with a stable friction coefficient and must be replaced frequently at a high frequency.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is a conveyor that can withstand a large load, maintain a stable friction coefficient, have abrasion resistance, and further suppress abrasion of the mating material. For brake lining materials.

[0011]

[Means for Solving the Problem] A means for solving the problem is to use a metal powder containing copper or a copper alloy as a main component and containing iron and titanium as a matrix, in which refractory powder and graphite powder are mixed. It is a brake lining material that has been sintered and is a brake lining material for a conveyor described in (1) to (4) below.

(1) A metal powder containing copper or a copper alloy as a main component is fired in a state in which 10 wt% or more and 20 wt% or less of a refractory powder and 15 wt% or more and 25 wt% or less of graphite powder are uniformly mixed. It is a brake lining material for conveyors that are tied together.

(2) The metal powder is a powder of copper, copper alloy, iron, titanium or the like, the iron powder and the titanium powder are 20 wt% to 40 wt% in total, and the balance is copper, copper alloy or these. It is the brake lining material for a conveyor described in (1), which is a mixed powder.

(3) The brake lining material for a conveyor according to (2), wherein the titanium powder is 0.2 to 0.5 by weight of the iron powder.

(4) The refractory powder is silica sand, which is the brake lining material for a conveyor described in (1), (2) or (3).

[0016]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the present invention, the main component of the brake lining material is a metal powder containing copper or a copper alloy as a main component, and this becomes a matrix and is sintered in a state in which the refractory powder and the graphite powder are uniformly dispersed. ing. The metal powder matrix has a strength far superior to that of the phenol resin, is excellent in abrasion resistance and is also excellent in heat resistance, and its strength hardly changes in the temperature range from room temperature to several hundreds of degrees Celsius.

In addition, since the copper-based metal follows the surface shape of the mating material and adapts well, the contact area is large, the frictional force is increased, and the braking effect is large. Bronze (Cu
-Sn), brass (Cu-Zn), white copper (Cu-Ni),
Although silver (Cu-Ni-Zn) and the like can be used, white copper and nickel are expensive, and bronze and brass are practical.

Since refractory materials are generally harder than metals,
When refractory powder is mixed, the friction coefficient of the lining material increases. Moreover, refractory materials are chemically and physically stable at high temperatures above 1000 ° C. Therefore, by mixing the refractory powder in the matrix, abrasion of the lining material can be prevented, the friction coefficient can be maintained even under a large pressure, and the friction coefficient can be kept constant even at high temperature.

When the coefficient of friction is examined by changing the content of the refractory powder, the coefficient of friction increases as the refractory powder is added, but the increase is rapid until the content approaches about 10 wt%. And gradually increases as the content rate further increases. Therefore, the refractory material needs to have a content of 10 wt% or more. However, at the same time, if the content of the refractory powder increases, the amount of wear of the mating material also increases, so the content must be suppressed to 20 wt% or less at most.

Graphite is more chemically stable and less reactive than refractory materials. For this reason, the lining material and the mating material are extremely easily seized during braking, but the graphite powder is mixed to prevent seizure and prevent mutual damage. Further, even if the temperature changes, the friction coefficient is prevented from changing and the friction coefficient is kept constant.

The content of the graphite powder in which the effect of preventing the seizure becomes remarkable depends on the load applied to the lining material, but at least 15 wt% is required for the brake lining material for a conveyor having a large load.

On the other hand, the lubricity of the graphite powder lowers the coefficient of friction, so the content must be 25 wt% or less to avoid excessive inclusion.

As the graphite, artificial graphite or flake graphite can be used, and the average particle size of the powder is 500 to 2000 in the former case.
μm, and in the latter case, 50 to 1000 μm is suitable.

Cast iron is often used as a braking material, but cast iron is harder than copper-based metal. If the metal powder forming the matrix is a metal powder having a higher hardness and a higher strength than the copper-based metal powder alone, the durability of the lining material is further increased. Such metal powder includes iron powder and titanium powder. When these high-strength and high-hardness metal powders occupy about 20 wt% of the metal powder, the wear amount of the lining material is markedly reduced even when used under a high load.

However, if the amount of the iron powder or the titanium powder is too large, the binding force of the matrix may be lowered. Therefore, the content should not exceed 40 wt% and the content of the copper-based metal powder in the metal powder should be 60 wt%. It is appropriate to secure at least%.

Of iron and titanium, titanium has a greater hardness and also forms a solid solution with the copper-based metal at high temperatures, so that the effect of strengthening the matrix is large. Therefore, it is important to contain even a small amount of titanium powder, but if it is too large, the hardness of the matrix becomes too large, and the refractory powder or graphite powder may easily fall off. Moreover, since it is an expensive metal, the amount of titanium powder is 0.2 to 0.
A value of 5 is appropriate.

Further, the particle size of the metal powder such as copper-based metal, iron powder and titanium powder is preferably about 50 to 100 μm in average particle size from the viewpoint of sinterability.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the above ranges of content rates in terms of content rate with respect to the entire lining material. The vertical axis of the figure indicates the range of content rate. (A) is 10 wt% to 20 wt% in the range of refractory powder, and (b) is 15 wt% to 25 wt% in the range of graphite powder. (C), (d),
(E) is 55 wt% to 75 wt% in the range of metal powder.
Among them, (c) is the range of iron powder in the range of about 9.1 wt% to 20 wt%, and (d) is the range of about 0.9 wt% to 10 wt% in the range of titanium metal powder.

In this figure, since the contents of the refractory powder and the graphite powder increase in the right direction of the horizontal axis, the composition in the right direction of the horizontal axis has better heat resistance. On the other hand, since the contents of iron powder and titanium powder decrease in the same direction, wear resistance decreases.

FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the content of the refractory material powder and the graphite powder and the friction coefficient. In the figure, A is a graph of refractory powder and B is a graph of graphite powder, and the friction coefficients act so as to cancel each other out.

As the refractory material, silica (SiO ₂ ), alumina (Al ₂ O ₃ ), magnesia (MgO) and the like can be used, but when silica is used, the amount of wear of the mating material is the smallest. Refractory powder particle size is 100-100
About 0 μm is desirable from the viewpoint of friction coefficient.

The above-mentioned brake lining material mainly composed of copper-based metal has high strength, wear resistance and heat resistance, and maintains a constant friction coefficient stably even at high temperatures. When it is used as a brake lining material for a braking device, its service life is significantly improved.

[0033]

[Examples] Iron powder and titanium powder were added to copper-based metal powder, refractory powder and graphite powder were further added, and a well-mixed mixture was molded into a plate at a pressure of ² t / cm ² , and then in vacuum. 5 kg / cm ²
While maintaining pressure at 900 ° C. for 60 minutes to sinter, a lining material was manufactured.

This lining material 1 was lined with a back plate 2 to form a brake plate, and a test was conducted using this as a sample, and the friction coefficient, the amount of wear of itself and the amount of wear of the mating material were examined, and the characteristics thereof were evaluated.

The test method is as shown in FIG. 3, in which the brake plate is a lining material 1 lined with a back plate 2, and this is pressed against the brake disc 3. The brake disc 3 is rotated via a disc fixing plate 5 attached to the rotating shaft 4. The brake plate was attached to the brake operating plate 6, the torque was detected through the operating plate shaft 7, and the friction coefficient was calculated.

An overall view of the testing machine used is shown in FIG. 11
Is a sample mounting part, 12 is a torque detecting part, and 13 is an inertial force adjusting part, which is adjusted by the weight of the flywheel 14. 15 is a motor. The rotation and braking were performed under the following conditions. Counterpart material Gray cast iron FC200 (JIS G 5501) Contact area 36.5cm ² Braking surface initial velocity 120km / H Inertial force 5.0kg ・ m ・ sec ^Z Braking deceleration 0.5G Repeat count 50 times The characteristics at high temperature were examined with the ambient temperature set to 300 ° C.
However, the measurement was carried out, and the friction coefficient at 300 ° C was 6
The friction coefficient ratio at 00 ° C. was calculated, and the stability of the friction coefficient at high temperature was investigated.

The test was also conducted on a phenol resin molding material and a metallic lining material using asbestos fibers which have been conventionally used and compared with the examples of the present invention.

Table 1 shows the compositional conditions of the lining material and the test results.

[0039]

[Table 1]

In the examples of the invention, the average coefficient of friction was close to 0.5. Also, the ratio of the average friction coefficient is around 0.9 and 60
The coefficient changed little even when heated to 0 ° C., and was stable even at high temperatures.

In the embodiment of the invention, the self-wear amount is 10
It was less than 0 μm, and the wear amount of the mating material was 10 μm or less, which were both satisfactory results.

On the other hand, in Comparative Example, the self-wear amount was large in the test N0.4 in which the metal powder was only a copper-based metal, and the average friction coefficient was too small in the test N0.5 in which the refractory powder was not included, and the graphite powder In the test N0.6 that did not include the test, seizure occurred even at 300 ° C, the average friction coefficient increased, and the amount of wear of the mating material increased, and at 600 ° C, seizure became stronger and the average friction coefficient became extremely large.

Further, in the conventional example, in the metallic lining material of test N0.7, titanium powder and refractory powder are not contained and the iron powder is small, so that seizure occurs locally even at 300 ° C., and the average friction coefficient is a little. The amount of self-abrasion and the amount of wear of the mating member were large, and the average friction coefficient was further increased at 600 ° C. In the organic lining material of Test No. 0.8, the average coefficient of friction was too small, and the self-wear amount was extremely large.

When the lining material of Example 3 of the present invention was actually used as a brake lining of a braking device for a 40 ton conveyor, the braking force was stable and the service life was 3 months.

On the other hand, in the case of using the conventional metallic lining material, the braking force was unstable and the service life was 1.5 months. As is clear from these results, the brake lining material for a conveyor according to the present invention was excellent in stability of braking force and high service life in a high temperature range.

[0046]

As described above, in the brake lining material according to the present invention, the metal powder, the refractory material powder, and the graphite powder of appropriate types are sintered at an appropriate ratio.
It has become possible to provide a braking material for conveyors that has a stable braking force and a long service life even under severe operating conditions.
