Conventionally, in mechanical devices such as industrial machines, lubricating oil has been used to improve the lubricity between members. Lubricating oil is supplied through a filter, for example, from a circulation system provided in the mechanical device, and is used after being circulated in the mechanical device. Generally, a lubricating oil contains a base oil and various additives that are added according to desired properties (see Patent Documents 1-3).
近年の産業機械の高速化・高圧化・小型化に伴い、機械装置がより過酷な条件下で運転されるようになっている。そのため、これらの機械装置に使用する潤滑油には、機械寿命を充分に保証するために長寿命化を図ることが求められている。
With the recent increase in speed, pressure, and miniaturization of industrial machinery, mechanical devices are operated under more severe conditions. Therefore, the lubricating oil used in these mechanical devices is required to have a long life in order to sufficiently ensure the mechanical life.

以下、図面を参照しながら、本発明に係る循環システム及びフィルタユニットの好適な実施形態について詳細に説明する。なお、図面の説明において同一の要素には同一の符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a circulation system and a filter unit according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
図1は、循環システムの一実施形態を示す概略図である。図1に示すように、循環システム1は、被潤滑部3と、フィルタユニット設置部5と、フィルタユニット10と、を備える。循環システム1は、例えば、油圧ショベル等の油圧機械、圧縮機械、タービン、エンジン、(自動)変速機、デファレンシャルギヤなどの機械装置に組み込まれている。被潤滑部3は、潤滑油が流通する第1の流路7及び第2の流路9を介してフィルタユニット設置部5に接続されている。フィルタユニット設置部5には、フィルタユニット10が設けられている。フィルタユニット10の詳細な構成は、後述する。
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of a circulation system. As shown in FIG. 1, the circulation system 1 includes a lubricated part 3, a filter unit installation part 5 and a filter unit 10. The circulation system 1 is incorporated in a mechanical device such as a hydraulic machine such as a hydraulic excavator, a compression machine, a turbine, an engine, an (automatic) transmission, and a differential gear. The to-be-lubricated part 3 is connected to the filter unit installation part 5 via the first flow path 7 and the second flow path 9 through which the lubricating oil flows. The filter unit installation section 5 is provided with a filter unit 10. The detailed configuration of the filter unit 10 will be described later.
なお、図1に示す例においては、被潤滑部3は、第1の流路7を介してフィルタユニット設置部5に潤滑油を供給する。また、被潤滑部3は、第2の流路9を介してフィルタユニット設置部5より、フィルタユニット10にて不純物を除去された状態の潤滑油が供給される。被潤滑部3は、機械装置のうち潤滑性が必要とされる部分であり、例えば、ギア、軸受、ポンプ、ピストンリング等の部品同士が接触して摺動する部分が挙げられる。実際の機械装置としては、エンジン、ギヤボックス、コンプレッサー、油圧ユニット等が挙げられる。フィルタユニット設置部5から被潤滑部3に供給された潤滑油は、被潤滑部3を潤滑した後、フィルタユニット設置部5へ戻る。このように、潤滑油は、被潤滑部3とフィルタユニット設置部5との間を循環して使用される。なお、循環システムの構成は、上述の構成に限られない。例えば、被潤滑部3は、第2の流路9を介してフィルタユニット設置部5に潤滑油を供給し、第1の流路7を介してフィルタユニット設置部5より潤滑油が供給されてもよい。
In the example shown in FIG. 1, the lubricated part 3 supplies lubricating oil to the filter unit installation part 5 via the first flow path 7. Further, the lubricated oil in a state where impurities are removed by the filter unit 10 is supplied to the lubricated part 3 from the filter unit installation part 5 through the second flow path 9. The portion to be lubricated 3 is a portion that requires lubricity in the mechanical device, and examples thereof include a portion in which parts such as a gear, a bearing, a pump, and a piston ring come into contact with each other and slide. Examples of actual mechanical devices include an engine, a gear box, a compressor, and a hydraulic unit. The lubricating oil supplied from the filter unit installation part 5 to the lubricated part 3 lubricates the lubricated part 3 and then returns to the filter unit installation part 5. Thus, the lubricating oil is used by circulating between the lubricated part 3 and the filter unit installation part 5. In addition, the structure of a circulation system is not restricted to the above-mentioned structure. For example, the lubricated part 3 supplies the lubricating oil to the filter unit installation part 5 via the second flow path 9, and the lubricating oil is supplied from the filter unit installation part 5 via the first flow path 7. Also good.
潤滑油には、鉱油、合成油等の潤滑油基油と、必要に応じて一種又は二種以上の添加剤とが添加されている。かかる添加剤は、潤滑油用添加剤として一般に用いられているものであれば特に制限はなく、例えば、金属系清浄剤、無灰分散剤、極圧剤、摩耗防止剤、酸化防止剤、腐食防止剤、防錆剤、抗乳化剤、金属不活性化剤、摩擦調整剤、粘度指数向上剤、流動点降下剤等が例示される。優れた長寿命性を有する潤滑油を得る観点から、潤滑油には、上記の添加剤のうち、酸化防止剤、金属不活性化剤、防錆剤等が添加されていてもよい。
Lubricating oil contains a lubricating base oil such as mineral oil or synthetic oil, and one or more additives as required. Such additives are not particularly limited as long as they are generally used as additives for lubricating oils. For example, metal detergents, ashless dispersants, extreme pressure agents, antiwear agents, antioxidants, corrosion inhibitors Examples include agents, rust inhibitors, demulsifiers, metal deactivators, friction modifiers, viscosity index improvers, pour point depressants, and the like. From the viewpoint of obtaining a lubricating oil having an excellent long life, among the above additives, an antioxidant, a metal deactivator, a rust preventive agent, and the like may be added to the lubricating oil.
酸化防止剤は、潤滑油に添加される酸化防止剤として一般に用いられているものであれば特に制限はない。酸化防止剤としては、例えば、ヒンダードフェノール等のフェノール系酸化防止剤、アルキル化ジフェニルアミン等のアミン系酸化防止剤などが挙げられる。
The antioxidant is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used as an antioxidant added to the lubricating oil. Examples of the antioxidant include phenolic antioxidants such as hindered phenol, and amine antioxidants such as alkylated diphenylamine.
防錆剤は、潤滑油に添加される防錆剤として一般に用いられているものであれば特に制限はない。防錆剤としては、例えば、アルケニルコハク酸のエステル又は部分エステル、脂肪族アミン類、有機スルホン酸金属塩、有機リン酸金属塩、アルキルコハク酸エステル、コハク酸イミド類、サルコシン酸誘導体、アルキルフェニル脂肪酸類、多価アルコールエステル類などが挙げられる。
The rust inhibitor is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used as a rust inhibitor added to the lubricating oil. Examples of the rust preventive agent include esters or partial esters of alkenyl succinic acid, aliphatic amines, organic sulfonic acid metal salts, organic phosphoric acid metal salts, alkyl succinic acid esters, succinimides, sarcosine acid derivatives, alkylphenyls. Examples include fatty acids and polyhydric alcohol esters.
以下では、図1に示した循環システム1におけるフィルタユニット10の構成について、図2及び図3を参照してより詳細に説明する。ただし、図2及び図3は、フィルタユニットの単なる一例を示しているにすぎず、本発明のすべての具体的構造を示すわけではない。
Hereinafter, the configuration of the filter unit 10 in the circulation system 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. However, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 show only one example of the filter unit, and do not show all the specific structures of the present invention.
図2(a)及び(b)は、図1に示したフィルタユニット10の具体的な実施形態の一例を示す模式図である。図2(a)において、中心より左半分はフィルタユニットの外形図を示し、中心より右半分はフィルタユニットの断面図を示す。図2(b)は、図2(a)におけるIIb断面図を示す。図2に示すように、本実施形態におけるフィルタユニットは、中空の円筒状をなしており、潤滑油に含まれる不純物を除去するフィルタ13と、フィルタ13の上端を覆う蓋部11と、フィルタ13の下端を覆う底板部14と、を備えている。なお、本実施形態では、説明の便宜上、「上」「下」の語を用いているが、使用時におけるフィルタユニット10の姿勢は特に限定されない。
2A and 2B are schematic views showing an example of a specific embodiment of the filter unit 10 shown in FIG. In FIG. 2A, the left half from the center shows an external view of the filter unit, and the right half from the center shows a cross-sectional view of the filter unit. FIG.2 (b) shows the IIb sectional drawing in Fig.2 (a). As shown in FIG. 2, the filter unit in the present embodiment has a hollow cylindrical shape, a filter 13 that removes impurities contained in the lubricating oil, a lid 11 that covers the upper end of the filter 13, and a filter 13. And a bottom plate portion 14 covering the lower end of the bottom plate. In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the words “upper” and “lower” are used, but the posture of the filter unit 10 during use is not particularly limited.
フィルタ13は、例えば蛇腹状に折り畳まれており、全体として中空の円筒状をなすように構成されている。また、フィルタ13の中空側にはパンチ穴が形成された支持部材12が設けられている。これによりフィルタユニット10には、支持部材12によって形成される中空領域に対応する潤滑油流出領域Roが形成される。なお、蓋部11は、円板状に形成されており、中心部には貫通孔が形成されている。蓋部11は、円筒状のフィルタ13及び支持部材12の上端側の開口部を覆うように、当該上端に固定される。蓋部11の貫通孔は、潤滑油流出領域Roに連通している。蓋部11の貫通孔には、第1の流路7(図1参照)が取り付けられる。底板部14は、円板状に形成されており、円筒状のフィルタ13及び支持部材12の下端側の開口部を覆うように、当該下端に固定される。底板部14には貫通孔が形成されておらず、フィルタ13及び支持部材12の下端側の開口部を封止している。
The filter 13 is folded in a bellows shape, for example, and is configured so as to form a hollow cylindrical shape as a whole. A support member 12 having punch holes is provided on the hollow side of the filter 13. Thus the filter unit 10, the lubricating oil outflow region R o corresponding to the hollow region formed by the support member 12 is formed. In addition, the cover part 11 is formed in disk shape, and the through-hole is formed in the center part. The lid 11 is fixed to the upper end so as to cover the opening on the upper end side of the cylindrical filter 13 and the support member 12. The through hole of the lid portion 11 communicates with the lubricating oil outflow region Ro . The first flow path 7 (see FIG. 1) is attached to the through hole of the lid portion 11. The bottom plate portion 14 is formed in a disc shape, and is fixed to the lower end so as to cover the opening on the lower end side of the cylindrical filter 13 and the support member 12. A through hole is not formed in the bottom plate portion 14, and the opening on the lower end side of the filter 13 and the support member 12 is sealed.
潤滑油は、例えば、蓋部11の貫通孔よりフィルタユニット10における潤滑油流出領域Roに流入される。潤滑油流出領域Roに流入した潤滑油は、潤滑油流出領域Roから支持部材12におけるパンチ穴を通ってフィルタ13に供給され、フィルタ13を通ってフィルタユニット10の外部へと流出される。フィルタユニット10の外部へ流出した潤滑油は、フィルタユニット10とフィルタユニット設置部5の周壁部との間に形成された流路を通過し、第2の流路9側へ流れる(図1参照)。
For example, the lubricating oil flows into the lubricating oil outflow region Ro in the filter unit 10 from the through hole of the lid portion 11. The lubricating oil that has flowed into the lubricant outflow region R o is from the lubricating oil outlet region R o through punch holes in the support member 12 is supplied to the filter 13, is discharged to the outside of the filter unit 10 through the filter 13 . The lubricating oil that has flowed out of the filter unit 10 passes through a flow path formed between the filter unit 10 and the peripheral wall portion of the filter unit installation portion 5 and flows toward the second flow path 9 (see FIG. 1). ).
フィルタ13は、特に制限されるものではないが、例えば、セルロース等を主成分とする紙又はコットン;ポリプロピレン、ナイロン等を主成分とする合成繊維;鉄、アルミ、ステンレス鋼等を主成分とする金属メッシュ;ガラス繊維;ガラス繊維強化ナイロンなどを使用することができる。
The filter 13 is not particularly limited. For example, paper or cotton mainly containing cellulose or the like; synthetic fiber mainly containing polypropylene or nylon; iron, aluminum, stainless steel, or the like as a main component. Metal mesh; glass fiber; glass fiber reinforced nylon and the like can be used.
図2におけるフィルタユニット10においては、フィルタ13に添加剤が保持されている。この場合、添加剤が保持されているフィルタ13が、潤滑油に添加剤を供給する添加剤供給部15に相当する。このため、フィルタ13自体が潤滑油に添加剤を供給する添加剤供給部15とみなすことができる。この場合、フィルタ13という簡易な構成を有するフィルタユニット10が提供される。
In the filter unit 10 in FIG. 2, an additive is held in the filter 13. In this case, the filter 13 holding the additive corresponds to the additive supply unit 15 that supplies the additive to the lubricating oil. For this reason, the filter 13 itself can be regarded as the additive supply unit 15 that supplies the additive to the lubricating oil. In this case, the filter unit 10 having a simple configuration called the filter 13 is provided.
図2におけるフィルタユニット10を用いた場合、フィルタ13を通った潤滑油によって添加剤が溶出され、潤滑油内に添加剤が供給される。フィルタ13に保持される添加剤としては、上述した潤滑油用添加剤の全部又は一部を用いることができる。潤滑油用添加剤は、液体状、固体状、カプセル状といった種々の状態でフィルタ13に保持されていてよい。フィルタ13に添加剤を保持させる方法としては、フィルタ13を添加剤に含浸させてフィルタ13内部に添加剤を含ませる方法、添加剤をアルミナ等の担体に担持させてフィルタ13の表面に吸着させる方法等が挙げられる。
When the filter unit 10 in FIG. 2 is used, the additive is eluted by the lubricating oil that has passed through the filter 13, and the additive is supplied into the lubricating oil. As the additive retained in the filter 13, all or part of the above-described additive for lubricating oil can be used. The lubricating oil additive may be held in the filter 13 in various states such as liquid, solid, and capsule. As a method for holding the additive in the filter 13, a method in which the filter 13 is impregnated with the additive and the additive is included in the filter 13, and the additive is supported on a carrier such as alumina and adsorbed on the surface of the filter 13. Methods and the like.
潤滑油内に供給される添加剤の供給量は、例えば、添加剤の種類に応じて適宜フィルタ13に保持させる添加剤の量を調整することにより、制御することができる。例えば酸化防止剤をフィルタ13に保持させる場合、アルキル化ジフェニルアミン等のアミン系酸化防止剤であれば、当該アミン系酸化防止剤の供給量は、被潤滑部を備える循環システムで使用されている潤滑油基油100質量部に対し、0.001質量部以上であってもよく、0.01質量部以上であってもよく、0.1質量部以上であってもよく、また、10.0質量部以下であってもよく、5.0質量部以下であってもよく、1.0質量部以下であってもよい。また、酸化防止剤がヒンダードフェノール等のフェノール系酸化防止剤であれば、当該フェノール系酸化防止剤の供給量は、被潤滑部を備える循環システムで使用されている潤滑油基油100質量部に対し、0.001質量部以上であってもよく、0.01質量部以上であってもよく、0.1質量部以上であってもよく、また、10.0質量部以下であってもよく、5.0質量部以下であってもよく、1.0質量部以下であってもよい。
The supply amount of the additive supplied into the lubricating oil can be controlled, for example, by adjusting the amount of the additive held by the filter 13 according to the type of the additive. For example, when the antioxidant is held in the filter 13, if the amine-based antioxidant such as alkylated diphenylamine is used, the supply amount of the amine-based antioxidant is the lubrication used in the circulation system including the lubricated part. 0.001 mass part or more may be sufficient with respect to 100 mass parts of oil base oil, 0.01 mass part or more may be sufficient, 0.1 mass part or more may be sufficient, and 10.0 It may be not more than part by mass, may be not more than 5.0 parts by mass, and may be not more than 1.0 part by mass. In addition, when the antioxidant is a phenolic antioxidant such as hindered phenol, the amount of the phenolic antioxidant supplied is 100 parts by mass of the lubricating base oil used in the circulation system including the lubricated part. On the other hand, it may be 0.001 parts by mass or more, 0.01 parts by mass or more, 0.1 parts by mass or more, or 10.0 parts by mass or less. Or 5.0 parts by mass or less, or 1.0 parts by mass or less.
また、例えば防錆剤をフィルタ13に保持させる場合、当該防錆剤の供給量は、被潤滑部を備える循環システムで使用される潤滑油基油100質量部に対し、0.001質量部以上であってもよく、0.01質量部以上であってもよく、0.1質量部以上であってもよく、また、10.0質量部以下であってもよく、5.0質量部以下であってもよく、1.0質量部以下であってもよい。
For example, when holding a rust preventive agent in the filter 13, the supply amount of the rust preventive agent is 0.001 part by mass or more with respect to 100 parts by mass of the lubricating base oil used in the circulation system including the lubricated part. May be 0.01 parts by weight or more, 0.1 parts by weight or more, 10.0 parts by weight or less, 5.0 parts by weight or less It may be 1.0 parts by mass or less.
潤滑油内に供給される添加剤の溶出量は、循環システム1を流れる潤滑油の流速又は上述した添加剤を保持させる方法を適宜選択することによって所定量に制御することができる。また、優れた長寿命性を有する潤滑油を、安定的に供給するという観点から、添加剤が、潤滑油に含まれるべき各添加剤の含有量の下限値を下回らない程度に徐々に溶出し続けるようにしてもよい。すなわち、フィルタユニット10の交換直後に、フィルタ13に保持された酸化防止剤や防錆剤等の添加剤の略全量が溶出するのではなく、時間の経過に伴って酸化防止剤や防錆剤等の添加剤が徐々に溶出し続けるようにしてもよい。これにより、潤滑油の使用に伴って添加剤が消耗しても、循環システム1中の潤滑油に所望の添加剤を所定量供給し続けることができる。
The elution amount of the additive supplied into the lubricating oil can be controlled to a predetermined amount by appropriately selecting the flow rate of the lubricating oil flowing through the circulation system 1 or the method for retaining the additive. In addition, from the viewpoint of stably supplying a lubricating oil having an excellent long life, the additive gradually elutes to the extent that it does not fall below the lower limit of the content of each additive that should be contained in the lubricating oil. You may make it continue. That is, immediately after the replacement of the filter unit 10, almost the whole amount of the additives such as the antioxidant and the rust inhibitor retained in the filter 13 does not elute, but the antioxidant and the rust inhibitor with the passage of time. Such additives may be gradually eluted. Thereby, even if the additive is consumed as the lubricant is used, a predetermined amount of the desired additive can be continuously supplied to the lubricant in the circulation system 1.
なお、本実施形態に係る循環システムにおいては、所望のタイミングでフィルタユニットを交換してもよい。本実施形態に係るフィルタユニットを交換するタイミングは、循環システムの使用に伴って潤滑油に含まれる不純物(夾雑物)の含有量が上昇することを防止する観点から、当業者が適宜行うことができるが、例えば10~5000時間ごと、又は1000~2000時間ごとに行うことができる。また、潤滑油に含まれる不純物の含有量は、潤滑油の所望の特性が充分に発揮される観点、及び機械装置の寿命を充分に保証する観点から、潤滑油100mL基準で10mg以下であってもよい。なお、潤滑油に含まれる不純物とは、循環システムの使用に伴って潤滑油中に発生する、潤滑油に不溶な夾雑物をいい、機械装置由来の不純物(例えば摩耗粉、バリ等)の他、潤滑油由来の不純物(例えば添加剤由来の劣化物、潤滑油由来の劣化物等)などが挙げられる。潤滑油に含まれる不純物を測定する方法は、当業者が通常行う手法を適宜用いることができるが、例えば、JIS B9931 質量法による作動油汚染の測定方法が挙げられる。
In the circulation system according to this embodiment, the filter unit may be replaced at a desired timing. The timing for replacing the filter unit according to the present embodiment may be appropriately determined by those skilled in the art from the viewpoint of preventing the content of impurities (contaminants) contained in the lubricating oil from increasing with use of the circulation system. For example, it can be carried out every 10 to 5000 hours or every 1000 to 2000 hours. In addition, the content of impurities contained in the lubricating oil is 10 mg or less on the basis of 100 mL of lubricating oil from the viewpoint that the desired characteristics of the lubricating oil are fully exhibited and the life of the mechanical device is sufficiently guaranteed. Also good. The impurities contained in the lubricating oil refer to impurities that are insoluble in the lubricating oil that are generated in the lubricating oil when the circulation system is used. In addition to impurities derived from machinery (for example, wear powder and burrs). And impurities derived from lubricating oil (for example, deteriorated products derived from additives, deteriorated products derived from lubricating oil, and the like). As a method for measuring impurities contained in the lubricating oil, a method usually performed by those skilled in the art can be used as appropriate. For example, a method for measuring hydraulic oil contamination by a JIS B9931 mass method can be mentioned.
従来、潤滑油に長寿命性を持たせるためには、例えば潤滑油に添加される種々の添加剤の初期値を高めることが考えられる。しかし、潤滑油中の添加剤の含有量は潤滑油の使用とともに消耗するため、上記初期値を例えば2倍に高めたとしても、必ずしも寿命が倍増するわけではない。したがって、機械トラブルを未然に防ぐには潤滑油を定期的に交換する必要がある。他方、潤滑油に添加される種々の添加剤の初期値を高めることで、潤滑油の使用に伴って添加剤が沈殿したり、機械装置の部材に捕捉されたりするという問題が生じ、潤滑油の所望の特性が充分に発揮されないおそれがある。
Conventionally, in order to give the lubricating oil a long life, for example, it is conceivable to increase the initial values of various additives added to the lubricating oil. However, since the content of the additive in the lubricating oil is consumed with the use of the lubricating oil, even if the initial value is increased by a factor of two, for example, the lifetime is not necessarily doubled. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the lubricating oil periodically in order to prevent machine troubles. On the other hand, by increasing the initial value of various additives added to the lubricating oil, there arises a problem that the additive precipitates with the use of the lubricating oil or is trapped in the mechanical device member. There is a risk that the desired characteristics of the above will not be sufficiently exhibited.
これに対し、上述したように、本実施形態に係る循環システム1及びフィルタユニット10によれば、潤滑油がフィルタユニットを通る際に、フィルタユニットの供給部から潤滑油中に添加剤が供給される。さらに、フィルタユニットの交換という簡便な操作によって定期的に添加剤が潤滑油中に供給される。そのため、添加剤の消耗に伴って、フィルタユニット10の交換とは別途のタイミングで添加剤を供給するメンテナンス、潤滑油を定期的に交換する等の複雑なメンテナンスなどを必要としない。すなわち、フィルタユニット10の交換は潤滑油の交換よりも高い頻度で定期的に行われるものであるため、当該フィルタユニット10の交換と同時に添加剤の供給も行うことで、メンテナンスの回数を増やすことなく、容易に潤滑油の長寿命化を図ることができる。したがって、潤滑油に添加される添加剤の初期値を高めることなく、長期間にわたって機械寿命を充分に保証するための優れた長寿命性を有する潤滑油を、容易に且つ安定的に供給することができる。また、潤滑油の長寿命化を図ることによって、潤滑油の交換を行うことなく(すなわち、潤滑油の寿命が機械寿命よりも長い)機械装置を用いることが可能となる場合もある。
On the other hand, as described above, according to the circulation system 1 and the filter unit 10 according to the present embodiment, when the lubricating oil passes through the filter unit, the additive is supplied into the lubricating oil from the supply unit of the filter unit. The Further, the additive is periodically supplied into the lubricating oil by a simple operation of replacing the filter unit. Therefore, when the additive is consumed, maintenance for supplying the additive at a timing separate from the replacement of the filter unit 10 and complicated maintenance such as periodic replacement of the lubricating oil are not required. That is, since the replacement of the filter unit 10 is periodically performed at a frequency higher than the replacement of the lubricating oil, the number of maintenance can be increased by supplying the additive simultaneously with the replacement of the filter unit 10. Therefore, it is possible to easily extend the life of the lubricating oil. Therefore, without increasing the initial value of the additive added to the lubricating oil, it is possible to easily and stably supply a lubricating oil having an excellent long life for sufficiently guaranteeing the mechanical life over a long period of time. Can do. Further, by prolonging the life of the lubricating oil, it may be possible to use the mechanical device without exchanging the lubricating oil (that is, the life of the lubricating oil is longer than the mechanical life).
また、添加剤が保持されているフィルタ13によって、潤滑油に添加剤を供給する供給部が構成されている。フィルタ自体が供給部として機能するため、供給部のための別途の構造を設ける必要がなくなる。
Further, a supply unit for supplying the additive to the lubricating oil is constituted by the filter 13 holding the additive. Since the filter itself functions as a supply unit, it is not necessary to provide a separate structure for the supply unit.
以上、本発明に係るフィルタユニット10の実施形態を示す一例を説明したが、本発明に係るフィルタユニット10は、上述した構成を有するものに限られるものではない。例えば、図3は、図1に示したフィルタユニット10の他の具体的な実施形態の一例を示す模式断面図である。図3(a)及び(b)におけるフィルタユニット10は、フィルタ13と添加剤を供給する添加剤供給部15とが別体に設けられている。該添加剤供給部15は、添加剤を収容する添加剤収容部16を備え、添加剤収容部16に添加剤が収容される。添加剤供給部15は、フィルタユニット10の潤滑油流出領域Ro内に存在しており、例えば、潤滑油流出領域Ro内に浮遊する態様で配置されていてもよく(図3(a))、底板部14上に配置されていてもよい(図3(b))。添加剤収容部16に収容されている添加剤は、潤滑油の循環によって添加剤供給部15から潤滑油流出領域Roに溶出され、潤滑油中に供給される。これにより、より簡便な方法によって添加剤をフィルタユニット10に設けることができる。なお、添加剤収容部16は、潤滑油内に配置されて溶解することによって、内部の添加剤を潤滑油に供給してもよく、壁面に微細な貫通孔を設ける等によって、内部の添加剤を潤滑油に供給してもよい。また、本実施形態におけるフィルタユニット10は、図3(c)に示すように、フィルタ13(又は図2のような支持部材)によって形成される潤滑油流出領域Ro自体によって、添加剤を収容する添加剤収容部16が構成されてよい。以上のような構成によれば、フィルタ13とは別途設けられた添加剤収容部16が添加剤供給部15として機能するため、フィルタ13に添加剤を保持させるための特別な処理を行う必要がなくなる。
As mentioned above, although the example which shows embodiment of the filter unit 10 which concerns on this invention was demonstrated, the filter unit 10 which concerns on this invention is not restricted to what has the structure mentioned above. For example, FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an example of another specific embodiment of the filter unit 10 shown in FIG. The filter unit 10 in FIGS. 3A and 3B is provided with a filter 13 and an additive supply unit 15 for supplying an additive separately. The additive supply unit 15 includes an additive storage unit 16 that stores the additive, and the additive storage unit 16 stores the additive. Additive supply unit 15 is present in the lubricating oil outlet region R o of the filter unit 10, for example, may be arranged in a manner floating in the lubricant outflow region R o (FIGS. 3 (a) ), And may be disposed on the bottom plate portion 14 (FIG. 3B). Additives contained in the additive receptacle 16 is eluted from the additive supply unit 15 to the lubricating oil outflow region R o by the circulation of the lubricating oil supplied to the lubricating oil. Thereby, an additive can be provided in the filter unit 10 by a simpler method. The additive container 16 may be disposed in the lubricating oil and dissolved to supply the internal additive to the lubricating oil, and the internal additive may be provided by providing fine through holes on the wall surface. May be supplied to the lubricating oil. Further, as shown in FIG. 3C, the filter unit 10 in the present embodiment accommodates the additive by the lubricating oil outflow region Ro itself formed by the filter 13 (or the support member as shown in FIG. 2). An additive storage unit 16 may be configured. According to the above configuration, the additive storage unit 16 provided separately from the filter 13 functions as the additive supply unit 15, and thus it is necessary to perform a special process for holding the additive in the filter 13. Disappear.
また、フィルタ13の形状も特に限定されない。フィルタ13は、蛇腹状に折り畳まれ、全体として中空の円筒状をなすように構成されていなくともよく、単なる円筒状に構成されていてもよい。また、フィルタ13が径方向に複数層に重ねられてもよい。また、例えば、図3(d)に示すように、フィルタ13は、平面状の構成を有していてもよい。
Further, the shape of the filter 13 is not particularly limited. The filter 13 may be folded in a bellows shape and may not be configured to form a hollow cylindrical shape as a whole, or may be configured in a simple cylindrical shape. Further, the filter 13 may be stacked in a plurality of layers in the radial direction. Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 3D, the filter 13 may have a planar configuration.
以下、実施例及び比較例を示して本発明を具体的に説明する。ただし、本発明は以下の実施例に限定されるものではない。

表2の結果から明らかなように、実施例1~3では、本発明に係るフィルタユニットを用いてフィルタユニットを交換した場合には、酸化防止剤を含まないフィルタユニットを用いてフィルタユニットを交換した比較例1及び2と比較して、潤滑油組成物の劣化が抑制された。すなわち、実施例1~3では、長期間にわたって機械寿命を充分に保証するための優れた長寿命性を有する潤滑油を、安定的に供給することができることが分かる。さらに、フィルタ交換時に本発明に係るフィルタユニットを用いてフィルタ交換を行うことにより、更に長期間にわたって潤滑油の劣化を抑制することができることが分かる。
As is apparent from the results in Table 2, in Examples 1 to 3, when the filter unit was replaced using the filter unit according to the present invention, the filter unit was replaced using a filter unit not containing an antioxidant. In comparison with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the deterioration of the lubricating oil composition was suppressed. That is, in Examples 1 to 3, it can be seen that a lubricating oil having an excellent long life for sufficiently assuring a mechanical life over a long period can be stably supplied. Further, it can be seen that the deterioration of the lubricating oil can be suppressed for a longer period by replacing the filter using the filter unit according to the present invention at the time of replacing the filter.
これに対し、比較例1及び2によれば、潤滑油組成物における酸化防止剤の濃度を2倍に増やしても、潤滑油が劣化するまでの時間を2倍にすることはできないことが示されている。すなわち、本発明に係るフィルタユニットを用いて潤滑油中に酸化防止剤を供給することで、潤滑油組成物中に予め同量の酸化防止剤を添加するよりも効果的に潤滑油組成物の劣化を抑制することができることが分かる。
On the other hand, according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it is shown that even if the concentration of the antioxidant in the lubricating oil composition is doubled, the time until the lubricating oil deteriorates cannot be doubled. Has been. That is, by supplying an antioxidant into the lubricating oil using the filter unit according to the present invention, the lubricating oil composition is more effectively produced than adding the same amount of the antioxidant in the lubricating oil composition in advance. It turns out that deterioration can be suppressed.
また、表3の結果から明らかなように、実施例4~6では、本発明に係るフィルタユニットを用いてフィルタユニットを交換した場合には、防錆剤を含まないフィルタユニットを用いてフィルタユニットを交換した比較例3及び4と比較して、潤滑油組成物の防錆効果持続時間が延長された。すなわち、添加剤として防錆剤を用いた場合には、長期間にわたって防錆効果を持続させることができ、機械寿命を充分に保証するための優れた長寿命性を有する潤滑油を、安定的に供給することができることが分かる。
Further, as is apparent from the results in Table 3, in Examples 4 to 6, when the filter unit was replaced using the filter unit according to the present invention, the filter unit using a filter unit containing no rust preventive was used. Compared with Comparative Examples 3 and 4 in which the rust was replaced, the duration of the rust prevention effect of the lubricating oil composition was extended. That is, when a rust inhibitor is used as an additive, a rust preventive effect can be maintained over a long period of time, and a lubricating oil having an excellent long life for sufficiently guaranteeing the mechanical life can be stably It can be seen that can be supplied.
また、比較例3及び4においても、比較例1及び2と同様に、潤滑油組成物における防錆剤の濃度を2倍に増やしても、潤滑油の防錆効果持続時間を2倍にすることはできないことが示されている。すなわち、本発明に係るフィルタユニットを用いて潤滑油中に防錆剤を供給することで、潤滑油組成物中に予め同量の防錆剤を添加するよりも効果的に潤滑油組成物の防錆効果を持続できることが分かる。
Further, in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, as in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, even if the concentration of the rust inhibitor in the lubricating oil composition is doubled, the rust preventive effect duration of the lubricating oil is doubled. It has been shown that it cannot be done. That is, by supplying a rust inhibitor into the lubricating oil using the filter unit according to the present invention, the lubricating oil composition can be effectively applied rather than adding the same amount of the rust inhibitor in advance to the lubricating oil composition. It can be seen that the antirust effect can be sustained.
