Abstract
Description
特許文献1は、この種の構造を備えた従来の磁性流体シール装置を開示している。
気密室とその外部空間とを仕切る境界部に設けられるとともに、回転軸を挿通する中空部を有するハウジングと、
ハウジングへ軸方向に任意の間隔をおいて並べて組み込まれる複数個の磁石と、
複数個の磁石を挟み込むようにハウジングに組み込まれ、且つ径方向の内側端面を回転軸の周面と対向して配置された複数個のポールピース(磁極片)と、
ポールピースにおける径方向の内側端面と回転軸の周面との間に充填される磁性流体と、を備えている。
また、ポールピースは、磁性材料で形成されている。
そして、回転軸は、ハウジングの中空部内にあって、気密室にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピースよりも気密室寄りに境界を設け、当該境界よりも外部空間寄りの領域が磁性材料で形成され、一方、当該境界よりも気密室寄りの領域が非磁性材料で形成されている。
さらに、ハウジングは、気密室にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピースと接触する領域から、当該領域よりも外部空間寄りであってかつ当該ポールピースと隣接するポールピースには接触しない領域までの間に境界を設け、当該境界よりも気密室寄りの領域が磁性材料で形成され、一方、当該境界よりも外部空間寄りの領域が非磁性材料で形成されている。
なお、ハウジングの軸方向への寸法拡大による大形化を抑制するために、磁石はハウジングに2個又は4個組み込む構成とすることが好ましい。
〔基本構造〕
まず、図1を参照して本発明の実施形態に係る磁性流体シール装置の基本構造を説明する。
本実施形態に係る磁性流体シール装置は、同装置が適用される対象装置の気密室1の壁面1aに装着され、気密室1内に一部領域が挿入される回転軸2を回転自在に支持するとともに、気密室1内の気密性を保持する機能を有しており、ハウジング3、軸受4、磁石5、ポールピース6(磁極片)、磁性流体7を主要な構成部品として備えている。
そして、互いに対向するポールピース6の内側端面と回転軸2の周面との間に、磁性流体7が充填されている。この磁性流体7は、非磁性の流体媒体に磁性体の金属微粒子をコロイド状に分散させることによって形成された流体である。例えば、炭化水素、炭化フッ素、あるいは脂肪酸等の流体にフェライトその他の磁性体粉末を分散した流体を用いることができる。
充填された磁性流体7は、磁石5のそれぞれから出て各ポールピース6及び回転軸2の磁性材料部分を通る磁気閉回路を構成する磁束に集中して、磁性流体膜を構成する。こうして形成された磁性流体膜によって気密室1と外部空間100とが遮断され、気密室1内の気密状態が保持される。
なお、図1に示すように、互いに対向するポールピース6の内側端面と回転軸2の周面のいずれか一方又は双方に周方向に延びる複数本の溝を形成し、この溝内に磁性流体7を充填すれば、磁性流体7をいっそう強固に当該箇所へ留めておくことができて好ましい。
また、ハウジング3は、気密室1にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピース6と接触する領域H3aから、当該領域よりも外部空間100寄りであってかつ当該ポールピース6と隣接するポールピース6には接触しない領域H3bまでの任意の部位を境界H0として、当該境界H0よりも気密室1寄りの領域3Xを磁性材料で形成するとともに、当該境界部位よりも外部空間100寄りの領域3Yを非磁性材料で形成した構成となっている。
このように回転軸2とハウジング3を構成することで、磁石5から発生する磁力線が回転軸2の磁性材料の領域から、ハウジング3の磁性材料の領域へと導かれて磁石5へ帰還する磁気回路が形成され、気密室1方向への磁場の広がりが抑制される。
次に、図3及び図4を参照して、本発明に係る磁性流体シール装置の実験例1について説明する。
本発明者は、図3に示すように、ハウジング3内に2個の磁石5を、各磁石5の対向する軸方向の端面を同じ極として組み込んだ構成の磁性流体シール装置を用いて、次の(1)(2)に示す条件を適宜変更しながら、回転軸2の気密室側の端面から中心軸に沿って10mmの距離だけ離間した地点Aにおける磁場の強さと、同じく50mmの距離だけ離間した地点Bにおける磁場の強さとを計測した。
(1)回転軸2における次のS1~S3の領域を、磁性材料か非磁性材料のいずれかに設定する。
S1:ハウジング3よりも気密室1側に露出した領域
S2:ハウジング3の気密室1側端面からフランジ部3bの厚さ分だけ中空部3a内に入り込んだ領域
S3:ハウジング3の中空部3a内であってフランジ部3bよりも外部空間100寄りで、且つ気密室1にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピース6よりも気密室1寄りの領域
(2)ハウジング3における次のH1~H4の領域を、磁性材料か非磁性材料のいずれかに設定する。
H1:フランジ部3bの形成された領域
H2:フランジ部3bよりも外部空間100寄りで、且つ気密室1にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピース6よりも気密室1寄りの領域
H3:気密室1にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピース6と接触する領域(図2のH3a)
H4:H3の領域端から、気密室1にもっとも近い位置にあるポールピース6と隣接するポールピース6と接触する中央部までの領域
回転軸2は、磁性材料部分がハウジング3の中空部3aから気密室1側へ出てしまうと、磁気漏洩先端部がシールド外部にでることになるため漏洩が大きくなる。ハウジング3の中空部3a内で磁性材料と非磁性材料の境界位置を変更しても磁気漏洩に大きな差はないが、磁性流体7よりも気密室1寄りに当該境界を配置したときもっとも磁気漏洩が小さくなる。
次に、図5及び図6を参照して、本発明に係る磁性流体シール装置の比較例1について説明する。
本発明者は、図5に示すように、ハウジング3内に1個の磁石5を組み込んだ構成の磁性流体シール装置を用いて、上述した(1)(2)に示す条件を適宜変更しながら、回転軸2の真空室側の端面から中心軸に沿って10mmの距離だけ離間した地点Aにおける磁場の強さと、同じく50mmの距離だけ離間した地点Bにおける磁場の強さとを計測した。
次に、図7を参照して、本発明に係る磁性流体シール装置の実験例2について説明する。
本発明者は、図7に示すように、ハウジング3内に4個の磁石5を、各磁石5の対向する軸方向の端面を同じ極として組み込んだ構成の磁性流体シール装置を用いて、回転軸2の気密室側の端面から中心軸に沿って10mmの距離だけ離間した地点Aにおける磁場の強さと、同じく50mmの距離だけ離間した地点Bにおける磁場の強さとを計測した。
回転軸2は、S1+S2の領域を非磁性材料、その他の領域を磁性材料とした。
ハウジング3は、H1+H2+H3の領域を磁性材料、その他の領域を非磁性材料とした。
次に、図8を参照して、本発明に係る磁性流体シール装置の比較例2について説明する。
本発明者は、図8に示すように、ハウジング3内に3個の磁石5を、各磁石5の対向する軸方向の端面を同じ極として組み込んだ構成の磁性流体シール装置を用いて、回転軸2の気密室側の端面から中心軸に沿って10mmの距離だけ離間した地点Aにおける磁場の強さと、同じく50mmの距離だけ離間した地点Bにおける磁場の強さとを計測した。
回転軸2は、S1+S2の領域を非磁性材料、その他の領域を磁性材料とした。
ハウジング3は、H1+H2+H3の領域を磁性材料、その他の領域を非磁性材料とした。
