ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a curable resin composition, particularly an adhesive composition, having a quick curing property. More particularly, it relates to an adhesive composition suitable for assembling a field system of a speaker.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There has been an increasing use, year after year, of a cold quick-curing adhesive which is curable at a normal or room temperature in a short period of time, with a view to labor-saving, resource-saving and energy-saving.
Especially in assembling a speaker, various materials such as metal, magnetic material, paper and cloth are bonded, and it is required to carry out assembling the speaker made of such various materials in a short period of time. Accordingly, an adhesive composition is desired which is capable of bonding such materials in a short period of time.
Usually, a speaker has a construction as shown in FIG.

. Namely, a frame

is bonded to a field system comprising a bottom plate
1
, a ring-shaped magnet

and a ring-shaped top plate

which are laminated and bonded. To the peripheral portion of this frame

, the peripheral portion (the cone edge)

of a cone

is bonded. To the center portion of this cone

, a voice coil

is bonded. The intermediate portion of this voice coil

is held by a damper

, and the lower portion of the voice coil

is fitted on the center portion of the bottom plate

. A dust cap

is bonded to the center upper surface of the cone

. As shown in

has a paper tape

wound on its outer circumference, and a coil

is wound on the outer circumference of the paper tape

Particularly, bonding of the field system of a speaker comprising a bottom plate

, a magnet

and a top plate

is as shown in FIG.

Heretofore, as a cold quick-curing adhesive, a two-pack type quick-curable epoxy adhesive, an anaerobic adhesive, an instantaneous adhesive or a second generation acrylic adhesive (SGA) has been known.
The two-pack type quick-curing epoxy adhesive is designed so that a main agent and a curing agent are weighed, mixed and coated on an adherent, whereupon the adhesive cures by the reaction of the main agent and the curing agent. However, such a two-pack type quick-curing epoxy adhesive has had a drawback that if weighing or mixing of the main agent and the curing agent is inadequate, the bond strength is likely to be remarkably low, and even if weighing and mixing are adequately carried out, the peel strength and impact strength tend to be low.
The anaerobic adhesive is designed so that the adhesive composition is pressed between adherends to cut off air for curing. However, it has had a drawback that if a part of the adhesive composition is squeezed out at the time of pressing, such a squeeze-out portion will be in contact with air and will not be cured. Further, it has another drawback that it is not curable when a clearance between adherends is large.
The instantaneous adhesive usually comprises cyanoacrylate as the main component and is excellent in the operation efficiency. However, it has had a drawback that the peel strength or impact strength is low. Further, the moisture resistance or water resistance is poor, whereby the range of its application is limited.
SGA is a two-pack type. Nevertheless, it requires no accurate weighing of the two liquids, and it cures at room temperature in a few or a few tens minutes even when weighing or mixing is inadequate, in some cases, simply by contacting the two liquids without requiring accurate weighing of the two liquids. Accordingly, it is excellent in the operation efficiency and yet SGA provides high peel strength or impact strength, and curing of the squeeze-out portion is also good. For this reason, it is widely employed (JP-B-58-34513, JP-B-58-5954 and JP-A-54-141826).
However, SGA usually takes a long time for curing, and it is difficult to accelerate the curing. In order to accelerate the curing of SGA, an attempt has been made to increase the amount of an organic peroxide, a reducing agent or a (meth)acrylic acid (JP-B-53-24103). However, if the amount of an organic peroxide is increased in order to accelerate the curing, there has been a problem that the storage stability tends to be poor. If the amount of the reducing agent is increased, there has been a problem that an unreacted reducing agent remains in the cured product, whereby the bond strength tends to be low. If the amount of the (meth)acrylic acid is increased, the curing can be accelerated, but unreacted (meth)acrylic acid tends to remain in the cured product, thus leading to a problem of causing rust to a metal, or corroding and breaking e.g. a copper wire.
In recent years, as a speaker, there has been an increasing demand for a speaker to be mounted on a vehicle, to be used for automobiles. The temperature in an automobile changes vigorously, for example, from a low temperature of −40° C. to a high temperature of 85° C., depending upon the weather of the particular region, the seasonal change from winter to summer, and the operation or termination of the engine. Accordingly, high thermal shock resistance has been required for a speaker to be mounted on a vehicle, particularly for a field system of a speaker to be mounted on a vehicle. Here, the thermal shock resistance is a bond strength against a vigorous temperature change i.e. in an environment of rapid heating or rapid cooling. If the thermal shock resistance is poor, there will be a problem that the bottom plate
1
, the magnet
2
and the top plate
3
tend to peel, or the magnet
2
tends to break, whereby the speaker will not function properly.
