特に、図1を参照して、本実施例に係る密封装置100の構成について説明する。なお、本実施例に係る密封装置100は、軸200とハウジング300との間の環状隙間を密封する役割を担っている(図3参照)。密封装置100は、金属製の補強環110と、補強環110に一体的に設けられるゴム状弾性体製のシール本体120とから構成される。この密封装置100は、使用時においては、図中右側が、密封対象流体が密封されている密封領域側(O)となり、図中左側が密封領域とは反対側の大気側(A)となる。なお、本実施例においては、密封対象流体はオイルである。
特に、図2を参照して、バンパー部125について、より詳しく説明する。本実施例に係る軸200は、使用時に回転するスプライン軸である。この軸200は、複数の溝が形成されている小径部210と、小径部210よりも外径が大きな大径部220とを備える段付きの軸である。なお、使用時においては、メインリップ121及びダストリップ122は、大径部220に対して摺動する。このように構成される軸200は、小径部210側から密封装置100内に挿入される。また、軸200は、大気側(A)から密封領域側(O)、つまりダストリップ122側からメインリップ121側(図中、矢印A方向)に向かって挿入される。
特に、図3を参照して、本実施例に係る密封装置100の使用状態について説明する。本実施例に係る密封装置100は、上記の通り、軸200とハウジング300との間の環状隙間を密封する役割を担っている。すなわち、密封装置100における外周シール部124がハウジング300の軸孔内周面に密着することで、密封装置100とハウジング300との間の隙間が封止される。また、密封装置100におけるメインリップ121とダストリップ122が軸200の大径部220の外周表面に摺動自在に接触することで、密封装置100と軸200との間の隙間が封止される。
以上のように構成された本実施例に係る密封装置100によれば、バンパー部125が設けられているので、軸200を密封装置100内に挿入する際に軸200の先端がダストリップ122に突き当たってしまうことが抑制される。また、バンパー部125はゴム状弾性体製であるので、軸200がバンパー部125に突き当たっても、軸200が損傷してしまうことは抑制される。また、メインリップ121及びダストリップ122は、補強環110における内向きフランジ部112の先端付近から伸びる構成である。従って、軸200の先端がバンパー部125に突き当たり、バンパー部125が押されても、内向きフランジ部112は殆ど変形しないので、メインリップ121及びダストリップ122が大きく変形してしまうこともない。
図4には、本発明の実施例2が示されている。本実施例においては、バンパー部の形状が、上記実施例1とは異なる場合の構成を示す。その他の構成および作用については実施例1と同一なので、同一の構成部分については同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
図5には、本発明の実施例3が示されている。図5は本発明の実施例3に係る密封装置の模式的断面図である。なお、図5は、密封装置について、密封装置における中心軸線を含む面で切断した断面を示している。
図6には、本発明の実施例4が示されている。本実施例においては、バンパー部の形状が、上記実施例3とは異なる場合の構成を示す。その他の構成および作用については実施例3と同一なので、同一の構成部分については同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
図7には、本発明の実施例5が示されている。本実施例に係る密封装置の構成は、上記実施例1に係る密封装置100と同様であるが、シール本体120の肉厚部分に設けられたバンパー部に樹脂製のガイドが設けられている点で実施例1の場合と異なる。従って、以下、実施例1の場合と異なる構成についてのみ説明する。なお、実施例1に係る密封装置100と同一の構成部分については同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
図8には、本発明の実施例6が示されている。本実施例に係る密封装置の構成は、上記実施例2に係る密封装置100aと同様であるが、シール本体120に設けられたバンパー部に樹脂製のガイドが設けられている点で実施例2の場合と異なる。従って、以下、実施例2の場合と異なる構成についてのみ説明する。なお、実施例2に係る密封装置100aと同一の構成部分については同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
図9には、本発明の実施例7が示されている。本実施例に係る密封装置の構成は、上記実施例3に係る密封装置100bと同様であるが、ゴム状弾性体部120bに設けられたバンパー部に樹脂製のガイドが設けられている点で実施例3の場合と異なる。従って、以下、実施例3の場合と異なる構成についてのみ説明する。なお、実施例3に係る密封装置100bと同一の構成部分については同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
図10には、本発明の実施例8が示されている。本実施例に係る密封装置の構成は、上記実施例4に係る密封装置100cと同様であるが、ゴム状弾性体部120cに設けられたバンパー部に樹脂製のガイドが設けられている点で実施例4の場合と異なる。従って、以下、実施例4の場合と異なる構成についてのみ説明する。なお、実施例4に係る密封装置100cと同一の構成部分については同一の符号を付して、その説明は省略する。
上記の各実施例においては、挿入される軸からダストリップが受ける衝撃を緩和させるためのバンパー部が設けられていた。これに対し、以下に説明する参考例においては、バンパー部に替えて、挿入される軸を、その中心軸線と密封装置の中心軸線とが一致する方向に導くためのガイドが設けられている。これにより、軸の挿入時に軸の位置が径方向にずれたとしても、軸の先端がダストリップやメインリップに突き当たることが抑制されるため、ダストリップの反転や、ダストリップやメインリップの損傷が抑制される。
