- the sound pressure was 80 dBA or less, it was evaluated as acceptable as a noise level with no problem in practical use of the belt.
- Cold resistance test When the rigidity of the back portion is increased, the bendability of the belt is lowered and bending fatigue on the pulley is increased, so that cracks (cracks) are likely to occur on the back surface (outer peripheral surface). In particular, back cracks tend to occur remarkably in a low temperature environment. Accordingly, the cold-resistant durability running test was performed on the helical belts of Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 6, and the occurrence of cracks on the back surface (outer peripheral surface) was observed. For the cold resistance durability running test, a two-axis running test having a driving pulley and a driven pulley having the same diameter as the driving pulley was used.

- One cycle of stopping for a minute was repeated 500 cycles.
- the rotational speed at the time of forward rotation and reverse rotation of the drive pulley was 2000 rpm.
- the load of the driven pulley was unloaded.
- the state of the back surface (outer peripheral surface) of the helical belt after 500 cycles was visually confirmed.
- the following three levels were evaluated based on the presence or absence of cracks on the back surface and the degree of cracks. S: No crack A: A crack is generated but there is no practical problem B: There is a crack on the entire back surface, and there is a practical problem
- Comparative Example 1 used back cloth B1

- Comparative Example 2 is an example using a core wire A3 of E glass fiber that is not a high-strength glass fiber without providing a back cloth, and the sound pressure was 95 dBA, which was the highest among the comparative examples.
- Comparative Example 3 is an example in which a core fiber A1 of K glass fiber, which is a high-strength glass fiber, is used without providing a back cloth, and although the sound pressure is smaller than that of Comparative Example 2, it is larger than the criterion (80 dBA). It was.

- Comparative Example 4 although the sound pressure was slightly smaller than Comparative Example 3, it was larger than the criterion (80 dBA).
- Comparative Example 4 the flexibility was lower than that in Comparative Example 3, and cracks occurred in the cold resistance durability running test to the extent that there was no problem in practical use of the belt. From the results of Comparative Examples 3 and 4, it was found that even if the thickness of the back portion was increased, the noise reduction effect was small without a back cloth.
- Example 1 to 12 the sound pressure was 80 dBA or less, which is the criterion.
- Examples 2 and 3 differ from Example 1 only in the type of back cloth

- Examples 8 and 9 are examples in which the thickness of the back portion is larger than that of Example 1 with the same configuration as that of Example 1.
- Example 10 is an example in which the thickness of the back portion is smaller than that of Example 1 with the same configuration as that of Example 1.
- the sound pressure was below the criterion (80 dBA).
- the flexibility decreased due to the increase in the thickness of the back portion, and cracks were slightly generated in the cold-resistant running test, but there was no practical problem. From the results of Examples 8 to 10, it was confirmed that when the tooth pitch is 2 mm, the noise can be suppressed without impairing the flexibility in the range of the thickness of the back portion of 0.60 to 1.3 mm.

Abstract
Description
しかしながら、特許文献1および2の技術では、満足できるレベルまで騒音を低減することができない。
このように背部の剛性を高めたことで、はす歯ベルトが、高負荷又は高速回転で駆動されるベルト伝動装置に使用されても、歯部がプーリの歯部と噛み合う際に生じる、はす歯ベルトの心線を中心とした振動(弦振動)を抑制できる。よって、この振動により生じる騒音を低減できる。
また、歯ピッチが2mm以上3mm未満の場合、背部の厚みは0.6mm以上1.3mm以下である。歯ピッチが3mm以上4mm未満の場合に、背部の厚みは0.6mm以上1.5mm以下である。歯ピッチが4mm以上5mm以下の場合、背部の厚みは1.2mm以上2.0mm以下である。これらの厚みは、例えば、自動車用の電動パワーステアリング装置の減速装置に用いられる従来のはす歯ベルトの背部の厚みと同程度である。本発明のはす歯ベルトは、背部の厚みを大きくすることなく背部の剛性を高めることができる。そのため、耐屈曲疲労性を充分に確保しつつ、振動および騒音をより抑制できる。
電動パワーステアリング(EPS)装置1は、ステアリングホイール2に連結されたステアリングシャフト3と、ステアリングシャフト3に連結された中間軸4と、中間軸4に連結されて、ステアリングホイール2の回転に連動して車輪9を操舵する操舵機構5とを有する。
図3に示すように、はす歯ベルト30は、心線33が埋設された背部31と、背部31の内周面にベルト長手方向に沿って所定間隔で設けられた複数の歯部32とを有する。図4に示すように、歯部32は、ベルト幅方向に対して傾斜して延びている。歯部32は、はす歯ベルト30の内周面に設けられる。 はす歯ベルト30は、ゴム組成物で形成されたベルト本体34と、ベルト本体34に埋設された心線33と、ベルト本体34の内周面を被覆する歯布35と、ベルト本体34の外周面を被覆する背布36とを有する。歯部32は、ベルト本体34の一部と、歯布35の一部とで構成され、背部31は、ベルト本体34の一部と、背布36と、歯布35の一部とで構成される。つまり、歯部32の表面および背部31の内周面の一部は、歯布35で構成されており、背部31の外周面は、背布36で構成されている。
ベルト本体34を構成するゴム組成物のゴム成分としては、クロロプレンゴム(CR)、ニトリルゴム、水素化ニトリルゴム(HNBR)、エチレン-プロピレン共重合体(EPM)、エチレン-プロピレン-ジエン三元共重合体(EPDM)、スチレン-ブタジエンゴム、ブチルゴム、クロロスルフォン化ポリエチレンゴム等が用いられる。特に好ましいゴム成分は、エチレン-プロピレン-ジエン三元共重合体(EPDM)であり、クロロプレンゴム、水素化ニトリルゴム(HNBR)も好適に用いられる。ベルト本体34のうち歯部32を構成する部分と背部31を構成する部分は、同じゴム組成物で形成されていてもよく、異なるゴム組成物で形成されていてもよい。
心線33は、ベルト長手方向に沿ってベルト本体34に埋設されている。心線33は、ベルト幅方向に間隔を空けて螺旋状に埋設されている。心線33は、複数本のストランドを撚り合わせて形成された撚りコードで構成される。1本のストランドは、フィラメント(長繊維)を束ねて引き揃えて形成されていてよい。心線33の径は、0.2~0.6mmである。撚りコードを形成するフィラメントの太さ、フィラメントの収束本数、ストランドの本数、および撚り方などの撚り構成については特に制限されない。フィラメントの材質は、高強度ガラス繊維または炭素繊維である。高強度ガラス繊維および炭素繊維は、共に、高強度かつ低伸度であり、心線33の材質として好適であるが、低コストの観点から、高強度ガラス繊維がより好ましい。
歯布35は、経糸と緯糸を一定の規則によって縦横に交錯させて織られた織布で構成されることが好ましい。織布の織り方は、綾織り、朱子織等のいずれでもよい。経糸および緯糸の形態は、フィラメント(長繊維)を引き揃えたり、撚り合せたマルチフィラメント糸、1本の長繊維であるモノフィラメント糸、短繊維を撚り合せたスパン糸(紡績糸)のいずれであってもよい。経糸または緯糸がマルチフィラメント糸またはスパン糸の場合、複数種類の繊維を用いた混撚糸または混紡糸であってもよい。緯糸は、伸縮性を有する弾性糸を含むことが好ましい。弾性糸としては、例えば、ポリウレタンからなるスパンデックスのように材質自体が伸縮性を有するものや、繊維を伸縮加工(例えばウーリー加工、巻縮加工等)した加工糸が用いられる。通常、経糸には弾性糸を用いない。そのため、製織が容易である。そして、歯布35としては、織布の経糸をベルト幅方向に、緯糸をベルト長手方向に延びるように配置するのが好ましい。それにより、歯布35のベルト長手方向の伸縮性を確保できる。なお、歯布35は、織布の緯糸をベルト幅方向に、経糸をベルト長手方向に延びるように配置してもよい。この場合、経糸として、伸縮性を有する弾性糸を用いてもよい。歯布35を構成する繊維の材質としては、ナイロン、アラミド、ポリエステル、ポリベンゾオキサゾール、綿等の何れかまたはこれらの組み合わせを採用できる。
背布36は、編糸で編まれた編布、または、経糸と緯糸を一定の規則によって縦横に交錯させて織られた織布で構成されることが好ましい。
編布は、1本又は2本以上の編糸が網目(ループ)をつくり、そのループに次の糸を引っ掛けて新しいループを連続的に作って編成された構造を有する布である。すなわち、編布では、糸を直線状に交錯させることなく、ループを作ることで形成される。背布36に編布を用いる場合、編布(又は編布の編成)は、緯編(又は緯編で編成された編布)、経編(又は経編で編成された編布)のいずれであってもよい。編布の形状としては、平面形状、円筒形状(丸編み)など制限されず、また編地は表目と裏目どちらがベルト本体の被着面となってもよい。緯編(又は緯編の編組織)としては、例えば、平編(天竺編)、ゴム編、鹿の子編、スムース編、ジャガード編などが挙げられる。また、経編(又は経編の編組織)としては、例えば、シングルデンビー、シングルコード、トリコット、ハーフトリコットなどが挙げられる。
背布36に織布を用いる場合、織布の織り方は、平織り、綾織り、朱子織等のいずれでもよい。はす歯ベルト30の屈曲性を確保する観点から、ベルト長手方向に曲がり易くするため、織り構成または編み構成をベルト長手方向に伸縮し易い形態にすることが好ましい。そのため、緯糸に伸縮性を有する弾性糸を含む織布を用い、織布の経糸をベルト幅方向に、緯糸をベルト長手方向に延びるように配置するのが好ましい。編布の編糸、または、織布の経糸および緯糸の形態は、フィラメント(長繊維)を引き揃えたり、撚り合せたマルチフィラメント糸、1本の長繊維であるモノフィラメント糸、短繊維を撚り合せたスパン糸(紡績糸)のいずれであってもよい。経糸または緯糸がマルチフィラメント糸またはスパン糸の場合、複数種類の繊維を用いた混撚糸または混紡糸であってもよい。背布36を構成する繊維の材質としては、ナイロン、アラミド、ポリエステル等の何れかまたはこれらの組み合わせを採用できる。
はす歯ベルト30は、例えば以下の手順で製造される。
先ず、はす歯ベルト30の複数の歯部32に対応する複数の溝部を有する円筒状モールド(図示せず)に、歯布35を形成する接着処理が施された織布を巻き付ける。続いて、巻き付けられた織布の外周面に、心線33を構成する撚りコードを螺旋状にスピニングする。さらにその外周側に、ベルト本体34を形成するための未加硫のゴムシートを巻き付けて、最後に背布36を形成する編布または織布を巻き付け、未加硫のベルト成形体を形成する。背布36として織布を用いる場合には、巻き付ける前に、織布に接着処理を施しておく。一方、背布36に編布を用いる場合には、接着処理を施さなくてもよい。そして、このベルト成形体が、円筒状モールドの外周に配置された状態で、更にその外側に、蒸気遮断材であるゴム製のジャケットが被せられる。続いて、ジャケットが被せられたベルト成形体および円筒状モールドは、加硫缶の内部に収容される。そして、加硫缶の内部でベルト成形体を加熱加圧して、ゴムシートを加硫する。それにより、ゴムシートのゴム組成物がモールドの溝部に圧入されて、歯部32が形成される。そして、脱型したスリーブ状の成形体を所定の幅に切断することにより、複数のはす歯ベルト30が得られる。
背部31の歯部32側の表面の一部は、歯布35で構成されており、背部31の他方の面は、背布36で構成される。そのため、背部31は、歯布35および背布36によって補強されて剛性が高められる。さらに、背部31に埋設される心線33は、高強度(高弾性率)の繊維材である高強度ガラス繊維または炭素繊維を含む撚りコードで構成される。そして、撚りコードの径は、0.2mm以上0.6mm以下である。そのため、背部31の屈曲性を確保しつつ、心線33によって背部31の剛性をより高めることができる。
このように背部31の剛性を高めたことで、はす歯ベルト30が、減速装置20のような高負荷又は高速回転で駆動されるベルト伝動装置に使用されても、歯部32がプーリ21、22のはす歯21a、22aと噛み合う際に生じる、はす歯ベルト30(特に背部31の心線33部位)の厚み方向の振動(弦振動)を抑制できる。よって、この振動により生じる騒音を低減できる。
また、歯ピッチPが2mm以上3mm未満の場合、背部31の厚みtbは0.6mm以上1.3mm以下である。歯ピッチPが3mm以上4mm未満の場合に、背部31の厚みtbは0.6mm以上1.5mm以下である。歯ピッチPが4mm以上5mm以下の場合、背部31の厚みtbは1.2mm以上2.0mm以下である。これらの厚みは、例えば、自動車用の電動パワーステアリング装置の減速装置に用いられる従来のはす歯ベルトの背部の厚みと同程度である。本実施形態のはす歯ベルト30は、背部31の厚みを大きくすることなく背部31の剛性を高めることができる。そのため、耐屈曲疲労性を充分に確保しつつ、振動および騒音を抑制できる。
実施例1~12および比較例1~6のはす歯ベルトの心線として、下記表2に示す構成のA1~A4の撚りコードを作成した。
A1の撚りコードは、以下の手順で作成した。JIS R 3413(2012)に記載されている呼称KCG150のガラス繊維のフィラメントを束ねて引き揃えて、3本のストランドとした。この3本のストランドを、下記表3に示すRFL液に浸漬後、200~280℃で加熱乾燥して、表面に均一に接着層を形成した。この接着処理の後に、3本のストランドを、下撚り数12回/10cmで下撚りして、径が0.35mmの撚りコードを作成した。上撚りは与えず、片撚りとした。A2およびA3の撚りコードは、ガラス繊維をUCG150およびECG150に変更した以外はA1と同様に作成した。
また、A4の撚りコードは、以下の手順で作成した。炭素繊維のフィラメントを束ねて引き揃えて、1本のストランドとした。以降の手順は、A1~A3の心線と同じとした。撚りコードの径は、0.53mmとした。
背布B1及びB2には、丸編みの編布を用いた。背布B1及びB2の編糸としては、繊度84dtexのポリエステル黒原着糸(帝人社製「E300S」)と、繊度28dtexのポリエステル黒原着糸(ユニチカファイバー社製「メガIII」)を用いた。背布B1については、10cm当りの撚り数が15.3回、30mm当りの編目数が30、30mm当りの度目が42段として、背布B2については、10cm当りの撚り数が15.3回、30mm当りの編目数が40、30mm当りの度目が52段として、調製した。背布B3には、綾織りの織布を用い、織布の経糸をベルト幅方向に、緯糸をベルト長手方向に延びるように配置した。背布B3の緯糸としては、6ナイロンの繊度235dtexのマルチフィラメント糸のウーリー加工糸を用いた。背布B3の経糸としては、6ナイロンの繊度155dtexのマルチフィラメント糸を用いた。

実施例1~12および比較例1~6のはす歯ベルトについて音圧測定試験を行って、ベルト走行中の騒音の評価を行った。試験には2軸走行試験機を使用した。この2軸走行試験機は、図2に示す減速装置20と同様に、駆動プーリと、駆動プーリよりも大径の従動プーリとを有する構成とした。駆動プーリには、歯数が41のプーリを使用し、従動プーリには、歯数が117のプーリを使用した。2つのプーリにはす歯ベルトを巻き掛けて、ベルト張力が100Nとなるようにプーリの軸間距離を調整し、駆動プーリを回転速度2000rpmで回転させて、ベルトを走行させた。従動プーリの負荷は無負荷とした。雰囲気温度は23℃とした。そして、騒音計の集音マイクMで音圧(騒音レベル)を測定した。なお、集音マイクMの位置を説明するために、図2に示す減速装置20に集音マイクMを表示した。集音マイクMは、はす歯ベルトの張り側部分の中間の位置から100mm離れた位置に配置した。集音マイクMで測定した測定結果を表5、6に示す。音圧が80dBA以下の場合には、ベルトの実用上問題がない騒音レベルとして合格と評価した。
背部の剛性を高めるとベルトの屈曲性が低下し、プーリ上での屈曲疲労が増加することから、背面(外周面)にクラック(亀裂)が生じやすくなる。特に、低温環境では背面クラックが顕著に生じやすくなる。そこで、実施例1~12および比較例1~6のはす歯ベルトについて、耐寒耐久走行試験を行って、背面(外周面)のクラックの発生を観察した。耐寒耐久走行試験には、駆動プーリと、駆動プーリと同径の従動プーリとを有する2軸走行試を用いた。駆動プーリおよび従動プーリには、歯数が41のプーリを使用した。雰囲気温度は-40℃とした。2つのプーリにはす歯ベルトを巻き掛けて、ベルト張力が130Nとなるようにプーリの軸間距離を調整し、駆動プーリを3秒間正転させた後、3秒間逆転させて、その後、10分停止させるという1サイクルを、500サイクル繰り返した。駆動プーリの正転時および逆転時の回転速度は2000rpmとした。従動プーリの負荷は無負荷とした。500サイクルを実施した後のはす歯ベルトの背面(外周面)の状態を目視で確認した。背面のクラックの有無とクラックの度合いで、下記の3段階で評価した。
S:クラックなし
A:クラックは生じたが実用上問題ない程度
B:背面全面にクラックが入り実用上問題がある
比較例2は、背布を設けず、高強度ガラス繊維ではないEガラス繊維の心線A3を用いた例であり、音圧が95dBAと比較例の中で最も大きかった。
比較例3は、背布を設けず、高強度ガラス繊維であるKガラス繊維の心線A1を用いた例であり、比較例2よりも音圧は小さくなったものの判定基準(80dBA)より大きかった。
実施例2、3は、実施例1と背布の種類だけが異なっており、実施例4、5は、実施例1と心線を構成する繊維の種類だけが異なっており、実施例6、7は、実施例1とゴム成分だけが異なっている。実施例1~7は、音圧に大きな差は見られなかった。ゴム成分がEPDM(C1)の実施例1~5では、耐寒耐久走行試験においてクラックは生じなかった。ゴム成分がH-NBR(C3)の実施例6と、ゴム成分がCR(C2)の実施例7は、EPDMの場合に比べて、屈曲性が低下し、耐寒耐久走行試験においてクラックが生じた。特に実施例7については、実用上問題のあるクラックが生じた。
