Description

  The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a seismic isolation plug capable of improving the damping performance and displacement followability of a seismic isolation device, and a manufacturing apparatus for implementing such a manufacturing method.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, seismic isolation structures in which soft plates having viscoelastic properties such as rubber and hard plates such as steel plates are alternately stacked have been used as bearings for seismic isolation devices. Among such seismic isolation structures, for example, there is a structure in which a hollow portion is formed at the center of a laminate made of a soft plate and a hard plate, and a seismic isolation plug is press-fitted into the hollow portion.

  The seismic isolation plug is often made of lead as a whole, and when the laminated body undergoes shear deformation due to the occurrence of an earthquake, the seismic isolation plug plastically deforms to reduce vibration energy. Absorb. However, lead has a large environmental load and a high cost for disposal. Therefore, the development of a seismic isolation plug having sufficient damping performance, displacement followability and the like has been attempted even when a lead substitute material is used.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a powder material in which a hollow portion of a laminate is made of a plastic fluid material and a hard filler instead of a lead seismic isolation plug, and a gap between the hard fillers is filled with the plastic fluid material. A seismic isolation device in which is enclosed is proposed. Such a seismic isolation plug, like a lead seismic isolation plug, ensures stable damping performance and displacement follow-up even during long-term use. Examples of the plastic fluid material include natural rubber and acrylic rubber, and examples of the hard filler include metal powder such as stainless steel powder and iron powder. Such a seismic isolation plug is manufactured by press-molding a powder material filled in a mold at a predetermined surface pressure with a stamper having a flat pressure surface perpendicular to the pressing direction.

  Although the seismic isolation device including the seismic isolation plug described in Patent Document 1 has stable damping characteristics and displacement followability for a long time without using a seismic isolation plug made of lead, construction in recent years Against the background of the increase in size and height of objects, further improvement in the performance of the seismic isolation device is required. For this reason, further improvement in the damping characteristics and displacement followability of the seismic isolation device is desired. Patent Document 1 also mentions a method for manufacturing this seismic isolation plug, but it does not leave the range of a general powder material pressure forming method.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for advantageously manufacturing a seismic isolation plug capable of further improving the performance. A further object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for manufacturing a seismic isolation plug capable of implementing such a manufacturing method.

  In order to achieve the above object, the first invention is to sandwich the powder material filled in the mold, press the two pressure receiving surfaces, and form the seismic isolation plug for the seismic isolation device.

In contrast, it is preferable to perform pressure molding in a shape in which the central portion protrudes, and in a shape in which the other surface is recessed relative to the peripheral portion.

  Furthermore, in the first invention, the powder material is preferably composed of a plastic fluidized material and a hard filler.

  2nd invention is a seismic isolation plug manufactured using the manufacturing method of the seismic isolation plug of 1st invention mentioned above.

  A third invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a seismic isolation plug for a seismic isolation apparatus comprising a mold filled with a powder material and a plurality of opposed stampers that press-mold the powder material in the mold. In this case, the pair of stampers includes a projecting stamper having a pressurizing surface in which the central portion of the stamper protrudes from the outer peripheral portion, and a depressed stamper having a pressurizing surface in which the central portion of the stamper is recessed from the outer peripheral portion. The stamper is composed of a depressed stamper having a pressing surface whose shape is recessed from the outer peripheral portion, and a planar stamper having a planar pressing surface perpendicular to the pressing direction. This is a device for manufacturing seismic isolation plugs.

  According to the present invention, a powder material that is a substitute material for lead is used, and when this is pressure-molded, the flow of the powder material is forced to obtain a molded product with a low air content. Can do. Therefore, it is possible to provide a seismic isolation plug that greatly contributes to the improvement of the damping performance and displacement followability of the seismic isolation device.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a seismic isolation plug manufacturing apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes a cylindrical mold 3 filled with a powder material 2 composed of a plastic fluid A and a hard filler B, and the mold 3. Two pairs of stampers 5 that oppose the inner powder material 2 are provided. A pair of opposing stampers 5 shown in FIGS. 1A to 1F is a protruding stamper 6 having a cone-shaped pressing surface 4 whose central portion protrudes in the pressing direction from the outer peripheral portion, and its central portion. Is a depressed stamper 7 having a conical-shaped pressing surface 4 that is recessed in the pressing direction from the outer peripheral portion. A pair of opposing stampers 5 shown in FIGS. 1 (g) to 1 (i) is a depressed stamper 7 having a conical-shaped pressing surface 4 whose central portion is recessed in the pressing direction from the outer peripheral portion. Further, another pair of opposing stampers 5 shown in FIGS. 1 (j) and (k) is a planar stamper 8 having a planar pressing surface 4 orthogonal to the pressing direction. Using such a manufacturing apparatus, as shown in the manufacturing steps of FIGS. 1A to 1L, the powder material 2 filled in the mold 3 is sequentially pressed by the three pairs of stampers 5 described above. Then, the seismic isolation plug 9 for the seismic isolation device is formed. Details will be described below.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), a mold 3 is filled with a powder material 2 composed of a plastic fluid A and a hard filler B, which are materials for the seismic isolation plug 9. Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the protruding stamper 6 is moved in the direction of the white arrow, and the powder material 2 is pressure-formed by the cone-shaped pressure surface 4. The shape of one pressure receiving surface 10 is deformed into a cone shape that is depressed at the central portion 12 as compared with the peripheral portion 11 on the mold side. At this time, the shape of the other pressure receiving surface 10 of the powder material 2 is a cone shape protruding at the central portion 12 as compared with the peripheral portion 11 on the mold side, and the powder is pressed from below by the depressed stamper 7. The material 2 is pressure-molded. By doing so, the shape of both pressure receiving surfaces 10 of the powder material 2 is such that the central portion 11 is recessed with respect to the pressing direction than the peripheral portion 12, and the central portion 11 is more than the peripheral portion 12. Each has a cone shape protruding in the pressing direction. Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, the protruding stamper 6 and the depressed stamper 7 are pulled up in the direction opposite to the pressurizing direction, and as shown in FIG. Replace the position with. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (e), the protruding stamper 6 and the depressed stamper 7 are moved in the direction of the white arrow, and both pressures of the powder material 2 are received by the pressing surface 4 of the protruding stamper 6 and the depressed stamper 7. Each of the surfaces 10 is pressure-molded. At this time, the powder material 2 is deformed into the cone-shaped pressure receiving surface 10 in which the protruding cone-shaped pressure receiving surface 10 is depressed, while the depressed cone-shaped pressure receiving surface 10 is projected. The deformation of the cone-shaped pressure receiving surface 10 strongly promotes the flow of the powder material 2 as a whole. Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (f), the protruding stamper 6 and the depressed stamper 7 are pulled up in the direction opposite to the pressurizing direction, and then the protruding stamper 6 is depressed as shown in FIG. 1 (g). Replace with Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (h), the pair of depressed stampers 7 are moved in the direction of the white arrows, and the pressure receiving surfaces 10 of the depressed stamper 7 pressurize both pressure receiving surfaces 10 of the powder material 2. Mold. At this time, on one surface of the powder material 2, the depressed cone-shaped pressure-receiving surface 10 is deformed into a protruding cone-shaped pressure-receiving surface 10, so that the flow of the powder material 2 is strongly urged as a whole. It is. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 (i), the pair of depressed stampers 7 are pulled up in the direction opposite to the pressing direction, and then the depressed stampers 7 are moved in the pressing direction as shown in FIG. 1 (j). Is replaced by a flat stamper 8 having a flat pressing surface 4 perpendicular to the surface. Next, as shown in FIG. 1 (k), the pair of opposed flat stampers 8 are moved in the direction of the white arrow, and the pressure-receiving surface 10 of the powder material 2 is pressure-formed by the pressure surfaces 4. As a result, while the flow of the powder material 2 is promoted, the shape of the pressure receiving surface 10 is made flat and the shape thereof is adjusted. In this pressurizing step, the deformation amount of the peripheral portion 11 and the central portion 12 on the pressure receiving surface 10 is increased, so that the flow of the powder material 2 is strongly encouraged as a whole, and as a result, the air content is reduced. A small seismic isolation plug 9 is obtained. And the seismic isolation plug 9 pressure-molded in this way is extracted from the mold 3 and used for press-fitting into the seismic isolation device 13 as shown in FIG. The seismic isolation device 13 includes, for example, a laminated body in which rubber plates 14 and steel plates 15 are alternately stacked as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b). There is a seismic isolation device 13 having a structure in which is arranged.

In general, it is effective to reduce the air content in the plug in order to improve the damping performance and displacement followability of the seismic isolation plug. However, when the powder material includes a plastic fluid material having viscosity such as rubber, the fluidity of the powder material is lowered, and the air in the powder material is difficult to escape. In the conventional method of manufacturing a seismic isolation plug, since the powder material was pressed at a predetermined surface pressure with a stamper having a flat pressing surface perpendicular to the pressing direction, the seismic isolation plug was molded. The further away from the surface, the smaller the compressive force applied to the powder material. As a result, the air content of the powder material increases as the distance from the pressure receiving surface increases. That is, the mutual arrangement of the powder materials is an arrangement in which the gap between the powder materials is large and air tends to remain as shown in FIG. In the region where the air content is large and the powder material flows sufficiently, as shown in FIG. 3B, the gap between the powder materials is small, and the air hardly remains. The air content is small. Due to the difference in air content, the hardness in the seismic isolation plug varies, and the hardness uniformity in the seismic isolation plug decreases. In this way, if the hardness uniformity in the seismic isolation plug decreases, the amount of deformation at the time of deformation of the laminated rubber varies depending on the region, and the displacement follow-up performance decreases. Performance may not be obtained.
From this, the inventor strongly promotes the flow of the powder material as a whole, reduces the gap between the powder materials, and the air as shown in FIG. 3B hardly remains in the powder material as a whole. It has been found that the close-packed arrangement can reduce the air content of the seismic isolation plug, improve the uniformity of hardness, and improve the damping performance and displacement followability.

The above-described manufacturing method was employed as a means for strongly promoting the flow of the powder material and reducing the air content of the seismic isolation plug. When the powder material 2 is pressure-molded by the process as described above, the powder material 2 is positively moved in the direction shown by the black arrows in FIGS. 1B, 1E, 1H, and 1K. Since the flow of the powder material 2 is strongly urged to the whole and the gap between the powder materials 2 is reduced, the entire powder material 2 is arranged as shown in FIG. As a result, the air content of the seismic isolation plug 9 is uniformly reduced as a whole, and the seismic isolation device 13 into which the seismic isolation plug 9 is press-fit improves both the damping performance and the displacement followability. 4 (a) to (i), the steps shown in FIGS. 1 (g) to (i) are omitted, and the protruding cone-shaped pressure receiving surface 10 and the depressed cone-shaped pressure receiving surface are provided. When 10 is pressed by a flat stamper 8 having a flat pressing surface 4 perpendicular to the pressing direction, the flow of the powder material 2 is strongly promoted as a whole, and a seismic isolation plug 9 having a reduced air content is obtained. It is done. However, when the depressed cone-shaped pressure-receiving surface 10 is subjected to pressure molding by the flat stamper 8, the seismic isolation plug 9 is not molded into a predetermined cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 4 (h) and 4 (i). The depressed portion of the surface 10 remains. Therefore, the steps shown in FIGS. 1 (g) to 1 (i) are indispensable steps for molding into a predetermined shape.
Further, the shape of the pressing surface 4 of the pair of stampers 5 facing each other in which the protruding stamper 6 and the depressed stamper 7 are combined is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. ), The pressing surface 4 of the projecting stamper 6 has a hemispherical shape, and the pressing surface 4 of the depressed stamper 7 has a hemispherical shape, or FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b). As shown in FIG. 4, the pressing surface 4 of the projecting stamper 6 can be formed into a stepped shape that gradually decreases in diameter toward the tip thereof.

  Alternatively, instead of the manufacturing process of the seismic isolation plug shown in FIG. 1, it is possible to adopt a simplified manufacturing process of the seismic isolation plug as shown in FIG. 7 in accordance with a desired porosity or the like. That is, first, as shown in FIG. 7A, the mold material 3 is filled with the powder material 2 composed of the plastic fluid material A and the hard filler B that are the materials of the seismic isolation plug 9. Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the depressed stamper 7 is moved in the direction of the white arrow, the powder material 2 is pressure-formed by the pressure surface 4, and one pressure-receiving surface of the powder material 2. 10 is deformed into a cone shape protruding at the central portion 12 as compared with the peripheral portion 11 on the mold side. By doing so, the shape of both pressure receiving surfaces 10 of the powder material 2 becomes a cone shape in which the central portion 11 protrudes from the peripheral portion 12 in the pressing direction, and the flow of the powder material 2 is promoted. . Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), both depressed stampers 7 are pulled up in the direction opposite to the pressurizing direction, and then, as shown in FIG. 7 (d), the depressed stampers 7 are moved in the pressing direction. It replaces with the plane stamper 8 which has the planar pressing surface 4 orthogonal. Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (e), the pair of opposed flat stampers 8 are moved in the direction of the white arrow, and the pressure-receiving surface 10 of the powder material 2 is pressure-formed by the pressure surfaces 4. As a result, while the flow of the powder material 2 is promoted, the shape of the pressure receiving surface 10 is made flat and the shape thereof is adjusted. In this pressurizing step, the deformation amount of the peripheral portion 11 and the central portion 12 on the pressure receiving surface 10 is increased, so that the flow of the powder material 2 is strongly encouraged as a whole, and as a result, the air content is reduced. A small seismic isolation plug 9 is obtained. And the seismic isolation plug 9 pressure-molded in this way is extracted from the mold 3 and used for press-fitting into the seismic isolation device 13 as shown in FIG. In addition, when the manufacturing process shown in FIG. 7 is adopted as compared with the manufacturing process shown in FIG. 1, the number of pressure forming steps is reduced and the number of times the flow of the powder material 2 is promoted is obtained. The air content of the seismic isolation plug 9 may become larger.

  Substances contained in the plastic fluid A constituting the powder material 2 described above include elastomer components (such as natural rubber, polybutadiene rubber, acrylic rubber, silicon rubber, polyurethane, urethane elastomer), (rosin resin, phenol) Resins (such as resins), carbon black, plasticizers (such as phthalic acid, maleic acid, citric acid), softening materials (such as castor oil, linseed oil, rapeseed oil), and the like. The substance contained in the hard filler B includes metal powder such as copper powder, stainless steel powder, zirconium powder, tungsten powder, bronze powder, aluminum powder, nickel powder, molybdenum powder, titanium powder, iron powder, and metal. Compounds. In addition, the composition of the material selected about each of the plastic fluid material A and the hard filler B, a content rate, a combination, etc. can be suitably changed according to the performance desired for the seismic isolation plug 9.

  In addition, a plurality of stampers 5 having differently shaped pressing surfaces 4 are arranged in parallel, the mold 3 is moved along this row, and the powder material 2 is sequentially added using the plurality of pairs of opposing stampers 5 described above. By pressure forming, it is possible to have an apparatus configuration for manufacturing the seismic isolation plug 9. Or, conversely, the position of the mold 3 is fixed, the parallel stampers 5 are sequentially moved, and the powder material 2 is continuously pressure-molded by using the stampers 5, thereby providing a seismic isolation plug. It is also possible to adopt an apparatus configuration that manufactures 9. The latter apparatus configuration is preferable from the viewpoint of space saving.

  Note that the above description shows only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, and these configurations can be combined with each other or various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. . For example, in the example shown in FIG. 1, the seismic isolation plug 9 is manufactured by compressing and deforming the pressure-receiving surface 10 of the powder material 2 into different shapes twice or three times, but depending on the desired air content, It is also possible to repeat this compression step further. Although not shown, when the powder material 2 is pressure-formed by a pair of opposing stampers 5, not only the stamper 5 is moved and pressure-molded but also only one stamper 5 is moved. Thus, the powder material 2 can be pressure-molded.
