自動的に調心されるようになっている。2. Description of the Related Art A self-aligning roller bearing has an outer raceway surface having a spherical shape, and the rolling surface of the raceway surface has a barrel shape or a drum shape. The mind is automatically aligned.

増大などが生じ、軸受の寿命を短くする恐れがある。[0003] By the way, in spherical roller bearings,
There is an inherent problem with skew. What is skew?
When a roller rolls along a raceway surface, both ends of the roller run in the traveling direction of the roller, and the roller is inclined with respect to a normal rotation axis. When such a skew occurs, an increase in the amount of heat generated occurs, and the life of the bearing may be shortened.

ろの傾きを抑制する機能を有する。In order to control such skew, a configuration in which a ring-shaped guide wheel is disposed between double row rollers is known. Such a guide wheel has a function of contacting the side surface of each roller to suppress the inclination of the rollers.

は外輪へ組み込みことができないという問題が生じる。By the way, the guide wheel is arranged at the center of the outer ring. When the inner periphery of the outer ring has an inner concave shape, the inner diameters at both ends in the axial direction are smaller than the inner diameter at the center. Become. Here, it is preferable that the guide wheel be brought into contact with the inner periphery at the center of the outer ring in order to suppress the axial length of the bearing and appropriately perform the skew control. Must have equal outer diameter. However, such a guide wheel has a problem that it cannot be incorporated into the outer ring as it is because the outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of both ends in the axial direction of the outer ring.

れがある。In order to solve such a problem, for example, according to the technique disclosed in EP-A-225975, a part of the outer periphery of the guide wheel is cut off so that the outer ring has a width smaller than the inner diameter of both ends in the axial direction. A portion is formed, and the guide wheel is incorporated with the portion having such a width facing the inner circumference of both ends in the axial direction of the outer ring. According to this configuration, the guide wheel can be easily incorporated into the outer ring. However, since the clearance between the outer periphery and the outer periphery of the outer periphery is large, the guide wheel rolls together with the rollers. In such a case, smooth rotation cannot be obtained, and when the large gap portion comes down, the guide wheel may move so as to fall, thereby causing vibration. The operation of such a guide wheel is
The skew control for the rollers may be deteriorated to increase the calorific value of the bearing, and may cause early wear of the sliding portion.

化を招くという問題もある。On the other hand, according to the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-210056, the guide wheel is divided into two parts in the radial direction, individually inserted into the outer ring, and assembled as a guide wheel in the outer ring. . However, in a configuration in which the guide wheel is divided into two in the radial direction, at least two discontinuous portions are generated in the circumferential direction, so that skew control for the rollers is deteriorated, and there is a possibility that the heat generation of the bearing may increase. . Incorporating the divided guide wheels into the outer wheel also has the problem of complicating the operation.

が短くなるという問題が生じる。On the other hand, if the guide ring is provided at the center of the inner ring in the axial direction, a complete circular ring-shaped guide wheel can be incorporated inside the outer ring, but the axial length of the bearing is fixed. In this case, the roller length must be shortened by that amount, which causes a problem that the load capacity of the bearing is reduced and the life is shortened.

However, for the same reason as for the guide wheels, assembly is performed with one roller removed in each row in advance, and the last roller is assembled after the retainer is in place between the inner ring and the outer ring. Like that. However, in such a configuration, there is a problem that the assembling operation takes time.

It is sectional drawing similar to. This modified example is different from the embodiment of FIG. 1 in a groove 41 provided on the outer periphery of a guide wheel 40. In such a groove 41, for example, lubricating oil supplied from the outside of the bearing via an oil hole (not shown) provided in the outer ring 20 can be stored. Since the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 20 and the outer peripheral surface of the guide wheel 40 can be lubricated, the effect of reducing the amount of wear can be obtained. In other respects, the configuration is the same as that of FIG.

ている。More specifically, two cages of the same shape are arranged facing each other so as to be able to hold the rollers 30 in each row. Each of the retainers 150 includes a ring-shaped main body 151 abutting on an outer end face in the axial direction with respect to the roller 30, and a column 152 extending in the axial direction from the main body 151 and holding the roller 30. .

させつつ組み入れなくてはならなかった。Here, the inner diameter φ2 of the outer ring members 21 and 22 at the axially outer end portions is smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter φ3 of the roller 30. Therefore, when the outer ring members 21 and 22 are already assembled, the retainer 150 30 cannot be incorporated as one. Therefore, in the prior art in which the outer ring 20 is originally integral, the at least one roller 30 is extracted from the retainer 150, and the extracted narrow portion is formed in the axially outer end of the outer ring member 21 (or 22). It had to be incorporated while facing the circumference.

Even if the diameter is smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter φ3 of 0, after the retainer 150 and the place 30 are integrally incorporated into the inner ring 10 from both sides, the outer ring members 21 and 22 can be assembled from both sides so as to face each other. Thereby, assembly of the self-aligning roller bearing can be easily performed.

を用いて説明する。By the way, in the cage for holding the rollers, if the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the pillar portion is increased, the thickness of the cage can be increased to increase the strength. However, in the prior art in which the outer ring is originally integral, when the retainer itself is made larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the outer end of the outer ring in the axial direction,
Even if all the rollers are removed, it becomes impossible to incorporate the cage. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to solve such a problem and to assemble a cage having a larger diameter. This will be described using a modification shown in FIG.

It is sectional drawing similar to. The only difference is that the retainer 250 is larger in diameter than the retainer 150 of FIG. 3, and the other configuration is the same. In FIG. 4, the circumscribed circle diameter φ4 of the pillar portion 252 of the retainer 250 is larger than the inner diameter φ2 of the outer end members in the axial direction of the outer ring members 21 and 22. Assuming that they are, they cannot be incorporated into bearings.

250の設計の自由度が向上することとなる。However, according to this modification in which the outer race 20 is divided into two parts, after the retainers 250 and 30 are integrally incorporated into the inner race 10 from both sides, the outer race members 21 and 22 are opposed from both sides. It can be assembled as follows. Therefore, even if the inner diameter φ2 of the outer ring members 21 and 22 in the axial direction is smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter φ4 of the retainer 250, there is no effect on the assembly.
Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the cage 250 is improved, for example, by setting the thickness of the cage 250 to be large.
