本発明は、車両のブレーキ装置にブレーキ液を供給するマスタシリンダおよびマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
車両のブレーキ装置にブレーキ液を供給するマスタシリンダの従来のものとして、ブレーキ液の吐出路とリザーバに連通する補給路とを有する有底筒状のシリンダ本体と、このシリンダ本体内に摺動可能に挿入され、シリンダ本体との間で吐出路に液圧を供給する圧力室を形成するピストンと、シリンダ本体に形成された周溝内に格納され内周がピストンに摺接して補給路とシリンダ本体の外部との間を密封可能な口元シール部材とを有するものがあり、特に、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時に前記した口元シール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するために周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を形成したものがある(例えば、特許文献1)。
【0003】

【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のように、周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を形成するためには、当然、この溝部の分の加工工数が増加し、加工コストが増大してしまうという問題があった。
【0005】
したがって、本発明は、加工工数を増加させることなく、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止することができるマスタシリンダおよびマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法の提供を目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、請求項1に係る発明は、作動液の吐出路とリザーバに連通する補給路とを有する有底筒状のシリンダ本体と、該シリンダ本体内に摺動可能に挿入され、該シリンダ本体との間で前記吐出路へ液圧を供給する圧力室を形成するピストンと、前記シリンダ本体に形成された周溝内に格納され内周が前記ピストンに摺接して前記補給路と前記シリンダ本体の外部とを画成するシール部材とを有するマスタシリンダにおいて、前記シリンダ本体の前記周溝と前記補給路とを連通させる溝部が前記補給路と同心で形成されていることを特徴としている。
【0007】
このように、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部が、補給路と同心で形成されているため、溝部を補給路と同一工具による同一加工で形成することができ、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。
【0008】
請求項2に係る発明は、ピストンが摺動可能に挿入されて圧力室を形成するためのシリンダ孔に、前記圧力室に作動液を補給すべく前記シリンダ孔とリザーバとを連通する補給路と、該補給路と前記シリンダ孔の外部とを画成するシール部材が格納される周溝とを形成するマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法であって、前記周溝と前記補給路とを連通させる溝部を前記補給路と同一工具による同一加工で形成してなることを特徴としている。
【0009】
このように、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のマスタシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにマスタシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を補給路と同一工具による同一加工で形成するため、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の一実施形態のマスタシリンダおよびマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法を図1〜図3を参照して説明する。
【0011】
図1中符号11は、図示せぬブレーキブースタを介して導入されるブレーキペダルの操作量に応じた力で図示せぬブレーキ装置を作動させるためのブレーキ液圧を発生させるマスタシリンダを示しており、このマスタシリンダ11には、その上側にブレーキ液を給排するリザーバ12が取り付けられている。
【0012】
マスタシリンダ11は、底部13と筒部14とを有する有底筒状に一つの素材から加工されて形成されるとともに横方向に沿う姿勢で車両に配置されるシリンダ本体(マスタシリンダ本体)15と、このシリンダ本体15の開口部16側(図1における右側)から底部13、筒部14の内側に形成されるシリンダ孔17に摺動可能に挿入されるプライマリピストン(ピストン)18と、シリンダ本体15のプライマリピストン18よりも底部13側(図1における左側)に摺動自在に挿入される図示せぬセカンダリピストンとを有するタンデムタイプのものである。なお、プライマリピストン18およびセカンダリピストンは、シリンダ本体15の筒部14の軸線(以下、シリンダ軸と称す)に直交する断面が円形状のシリンダ孔17の摺動内径部20に摺動可能に案内される。なお、本実施形態の要部はプライマリピストン18側であるので、以下、プライマリピストン18側を中心に説明する。
【0013】
シリンダ本体15には、筒部14の径方向(以下、シリンダ径方向と称す)の外側に突出しかつシリンダ軸方向に延在する取付台部22が筒部14の円周方向(以下、シリンダ円周方向と称す)における所定位置に一体に形成されており、リザーバ12を取り付けるとともリザーバ12とシリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17とを連通させるための取付穴23が、取付台部22におけるシリンダ本体15の開口部16側にシリンダ径方向に沿って形成されている。加えて、シリンダ本体15には、開口部16側にブレーキブースタを取り付けるための取付フランジ部24がシリンダ径方向外側に突出形成されている。
【0014】
シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17の開口部16側の摺動内径部20には、シリンダ軸方向における位置をずらして複数具体的には二カ所のシール周溝25(周溝)およびシール周溝26が開口部16側から順に形成されている。これらシール周溝25,26は、シリンダ円周方向に環状をなしてシリンダ径方向外側に凹む形状をなしている。
【0015】
そして、シール周溝25に環状の区画シール(シール部材)28が嵌合されており、シール周溝26に環状のピストンシール29が嵌合されている。
【0016】
ピストンシール29は、C字状断面を有するカップシールであり、底部13側に断面形状における開口側を配置した状態でシール周溝26に取り付けられる。シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17には、摺動内径部20よりもシリンダ径方向外側に凹むとともに一端側がシール周溝26内に開口し他端側がシリンダ底部13側に延びる連通溝31が形成されている。この連通溝31は、図示せぬブレーキ装置に作動液を供給するプライマリ吐出路(吐出路)30に連通している。
【0017】
区画シール28も、C字状断面を有するカップシールであり、底部13側に断面形状における開口側を配置した状態でシール周溝25に取り付けられる。ここで、シール周溝25は、シール周溝26側の壁部25aが、開口部16側に向かうにしたがって拡径するテーパ形状をなしている。また、シール周溝25は、溝底部25bがシリンダ軸方向に沿っており、開口部16側の壁部25cがシリンダ径方向に沿っている。
【0018】
シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17におけるシール周溝25とシール周溝26との間には、筒部14の摺動内径部20からシリンダ径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝33が形成されている。この開口溝33は、シール周溝26側の壁部33aが開口部16側に向かうにしたがって拡径するテーパ形状をなしており、溝底部33bがシリンダ軸方向に沿っており、シール周溝25側の壁部33cがシリンダ径方向に沿っている。
【0019】
そして、本実施形態において、シリンダ本体15には、シリンダ孔17の開口溝33とリザーバ12側の取付穴23とを連通させる断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴35がシリンダ軸に対し斜めに形成されている。この連通穴35は、開口溝33の溝底部33bのシリンダ軸方向における全長にわたり開口しており、開口溝33の壁部33aの一部にも開口している。また、連通穴35は、その取付穴23に対し反対側の延長線が、開口溝33の壁部33cに交差し開口部16の内側を通ってシリンダ本体15の外に延びるように形成されている。
【0020】
なお、この連通穴35は、シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17とリザーバ12とを連通可能に結ぶとともにリザーバ12に常時連通するプライマリ補給路(補給路)を構成している。また、この連通穴35に連通する開口溝33は、シリンダ本体15とリザーバRとを連通可能に結ぶとともにリザーバRに常時連通するプライマリ補給室を構成している。
【0021】
加えて、本実施形態において、シリンダ本体15には、一側が壁部25aからシール周溝25内に開口するとともに逆側が壁部33cから開口溝33内に開口することでシール周溝25と開口溝33および連通穴35とを連通させる溝部36が形成されている。この溝部36は、プライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35と同心で形成されており、しかも、軸直交断面が連通穴35と同径の円弧状をなしていて、連通穴35のシリンダ軸方向における開口部16側の一部と連続する形状をなしている。
【0022】
ここで、このように連通穴35と溝部36とは、同径をなして同心でシリンダ本体15に形成される構造となっているため、図3に示すように、開口部16の内側からシリンダ本体15内に挿入される直線形状の同一の工具であるドリル38によって加工中ストローク位置のみが変更される同一加工で形成される。つまり、ドリル38が前進のストローク量を徐々に大きくすることで開口部16の内側を通って溝部36を形成し、続けて連通穴35を形成するのである。なお、段付きドリルを用いれば、溝部36を、連通穴35と同心上において軸直交断面が連通穴35より大径の円弧状に形成することも可能である。また、取付穴23側からドリル38を挿入し、ドリル38の前進のストローク量を大きくすることで連通穴35を形成し、続けて溝部36を形成するようにしても良い。
【0023】
図1に示すように、シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17の開口部16側に嵌合されるプライマリピストン18は、第1円筒部40と、第1円筒部40の軸線方向における一側に形成された底部41と、底部41の第1円筒部40に対し反対側に形成された第2円筒部42とを有する形状をなしており、その第1円筒部40をシリンダ本体15の底部13側に配置した状態でシリンダ本体15内に挿入されている。ここで、第2円筒部42の内側には図示せぬブレーキブースタの出力軸が挿入され、この出力軸が底部41を押圧する。
【0024】
第1円筒部40の底部41に対し反対側の端部の外周側は、他の部分よりも径が若干小さい環状の凹部43が形成されている。さらに、第1円筒部40の凹部43には、その底部41側に径方向に貫通するポート44が複数放射状に形成されている。
【0025】
ここで、シリンダ本体15の筒部14の開口部16側とプライマリピストン18と図示せぬセカンダリピストンとで囲まれた部分が、プライマリ吐出路30に液圧を供給するプライマリ圧力室(圧力室)45となっており、このプライマリ圧力室45は、プライマリピストン18がポート44を開口溝33に開口させる位置にあるとき、プライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35に連通する。
【0026】
シリンダ本体15のシール周溝26に設けられたピストンシール29は、内周がプライマリピストン18の外周側に摺接することになり、プライマリピストン18がポート44をピストンシール29よりも底部13側に位置させた状態では、プライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35とプライマリ圧力室45との間を密封可能、つまり、プライマリ圧力室45とリザーバ12との連通を遮断可能となっている。
【0027】
ここで、ピストンシール45は、プライマリ圧力室45の液圧がリザーバ12の液圧(つまり大気圧)より高くなると、プライマリ圧力室45とリザーバ12との連通を遮断することになり、この状態でプライマリピストン18が底部13側に移動すると、プライマリ圧力室45からプライマリ吐出路30を介してブレーキ装置に液圧が供給される。一方、プライマリ圧力室45の液圧がリザーバ12の液圧より小さくなると、ピストンシール45は、プライマリ圧力室45とリザーバ12とを連通させてプライマリ圧力室45への液補給を行う。
【0028】
シール周溝25に設けられた区画シール28は、プライマリピストン18に摺接してプライマリ圧力室45つまりシリンダ孔17と外気つまりシリンダ本体15の外部とを画成する。
【0029】
なお、図1において符号47で示すものは、図示せぬセカンダリピストンとプライマリピストン18との間に設けられ、図示せぬブレーキペダル側(図1における右側)から入力がない初期状態でこれらの間隔を決める間隔調整部である。
【0030】
そして、以上のマスタシリンダ11は、組み立てられた状態で内部が真空引きされ、この真空圧によって作動液が内部に充填されることになるが、このとき、区画シール28が配置されるシール周溝25は溝部36でプライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35に常時連通しているため、真空圧で区画シール28がシリンダ本体15側へ吸い付いてしまうことが防止される。
【0031】
以上に述べた本実施形態によれば、マスタシリンダ11への作動液の真空充填時に区画シール28のシリンダ本体15への吸い付きを防止するためにシリンダ本体15のシール周溝25とプライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35とを連通させる溝部36が、連通穴35と同心で形成されているため、溝部36を連通穴35と同一工具による同一加工で形成することができ、溝部36を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。したがって、加工工数を増加させることなく区画シール28のシリンダ本体15への吸い付きを防止することができる。
【0032】
また、上記のように、シール周溝25と連通穴35とを連通させる溝部36を連通穴35と同一工具による同一加工で形成することから、シール周溝25をシリンダ軸方向において連通穴35側に寄せることになり、その結果、シリンダ本体15の軸方向長さを短くすることができる。特に、シリンダ本体15の取付フランジ部24から開口部16側の端部までの距離L1を短くできる。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項1に係る発明によれば、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部が、補給路と同心で形成されているため、溝部を補給路と同一工具による同一加工で形成することができ、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。したがって、加工工数を増加させることなくシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止することができる。
【0034】
請求項2に係る発明によれば、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のマスタシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにマスタシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を補給路と同一工具による同一加工で形成するため、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。したがって、加工工数を増加させることなくシール部材のマスタシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止することができる。

A groove portion 36 for communicating the groove 33 and the communication hole 35 is formed. The groove portion 36 is formed concentrically with the communication hole 35 constituting the primary supply passage, and has a circular cross-section orthogonal to the axis having the same diameter as the communication hole 35, and the communication hole 35 in the cylinder axial direction is formed. The shape is continuous with a part of the opening 16 side.
[0022]
Here, since the communication hole 35 and the groove portion 36 have the same diameter and are formed concentrically on the cylinder body 15 in this manner, as shown in FIG. It is formed by the same machining in which only the stroke position during machining is changed by the drill 38, which is the same linear tool inserted into the main body 15. That is, as the drill 38 gradually increases the stroke of the advance, the groove 36 is formed through the inside of the opening 16, and the communication hole 35 is subsequently formed. If a stepped drill is used, the groove 36 can be formed in an arc shape having a larger diameter than the communication hole 35 in a section orthogonal to the axis concentrically with the communication hole 35. Alternatively, the communication hole 35 may be formed by inserting the drill 38 from the mounting hole 23 side and increasing the stroke of advancement of the drill 38, and the groove 36 may be formed continuously.
[0023]
As shown in FIG. 1, the primary piston 18 fitted to the opening 16 side of the cylinder hole 17 of the cylinder body 15 is formed on the first cylindrical portion 40 and one side of the first cylindrical portion 40 in the axial direction. And a second cylindrical portion 42 formed on the opposite side to the first cylindrical portion 40 of the bottom portion 41, and the first cylindrical portion 40 is placed on the bottom 13 side of the cylinder body 15. It is inserted into the cylinder body 15 in the state where it is arranged. Here, an output shaft of a brake booster (not shown) is inserted inside the second cylindrical portion 42, and the output shaft presses the bottom portion 41.
[0024]
On the outer peripheral side of the end opposite to the bottom 41 of the first cylindrical portion 40, an annular concave portion 43 having a diameter slightly smaller than other portions is formed. Further, the concave portion 43 of the first cylindrical portion 40 has a plurality of radially formed ports 44 that penetrate the bottom portion 41 side.
[0025]
Here, a portion surrounded by the opening 16 side of the cylinder portion 14 of the cylinder body 15, the primary piston 18, and a secondary piston (not shown) is a primary pressure chamber (pressure chamber) for supplying a hydraulic pressure to the primary discharge path 30. The primary pressure chamber 45 communicates with a communication hole 35 that forms a primary supply passage when the primary piston 18 is at a position where the port 44 opens the opening groove 33.
[0026]
The inner periphery of the piston seal 29 provided in the seal circumferential groove 26 of the cylinder body 15 comes into sliding contact with the outer peripheral side of the primary piston 18, and the primary piston 18 positions the port 44 closer to the bottom 13 than the piston seal 29. In this state, the communication between the communication hole 35 forming the primary supply passage and the primary pressure chamber 45 can be sealed, that is, the communication between the primary pressure chamber 45 and the reservoir 12 can be shut off.
[0027]
Here, when the hydraulic pressure of the primary pressure chamber 45 becomes higher than the hydraulic pressure of the reservoir 12 (that is, the atmospheric pressure), the piston seal 45 cuts off the communication between the primary pressure chamber 45 and the reservoir 12. When the primary piston 18 moves to the bottom 13 side, hydraulic pressure is supplied from the primary pressure chamber 45 to the brake device via the primary discharge path 30. On the other hand, when the hydraulic pressure in the primary pressure chamber 45 becomes lower than the hydraulic pressure in the reservoir 12, the piston seal 45 makes the primary pressure chamber 45 and the reservoir 12 communicate with each other to supply liquid to the primary pressure chamber 45.
[0028]
The partition seal 28 provided in the seal circumferential groove 25 slides on the primary piston 18 to define the primary pressure chamber 45, that is, the cylinder hole 17, and the outside air, that is, the outside of the cylinder body 15.
[0029]
1 is provided between a secondary piston (not shown) and the primary piston 18, and the distance between the pistons in the initial state where there is no input from the brake pedal (not shown) (right side in FIG. 1). Is an interval adjustment unit that determines
[0030]
The interior of the above master cylinder 11 is evacuated in the assembled state, and the working fluid is filled by the vacuum pressure. At this time, the seal circumferential groove in which the partition seal 28 is disposed Since the groove 25 is always in communication with the communication hole 35 constituting the primary supply path by the groove 36, the partition seal 28 is prevented from being sucked toward the cylinder body 15 by the vacuum pressure.
[0031]
According to the above-described embodiment, the seal peripheral groove 25 of the cylinder main body 15 and the primary supply path are used to prevent the partition seal 28 from sticking to the cylinder main body 15 during the vacuum filling of the master cylinder 11 with the hydraulic fluid. Is formed concentrically with the communication hole 35, the groove 36 can be formed by the same processing using the same tool as the communication hole 35, and the groove 36 can be used alone. There is no need to form. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the partition seal 28 from sticking to the cylinder body 15 without increasing the number of processing steps.
[0032]
Further, as described above, since the groove 36 for communicating the seal circumferential groove 25 and the communication hole 35 is formed by the same processing with the same tool as the communication hole 35, the seal circumferential groove 25 is formed on the communication hole 35 side in the cylinder axial direction. As a result, the axial length of the cylinder body 15 can be shortened. In particular, the distance L1 from the mounting flange 24 of the cylinder body 15 to the end on the opening 16 side can be reduced.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the peripheral groove of the cylinder main body and the supply path are formed to prevent the seal member from sticking to the cylinder main body when the master cylinder is filled with the working fluid by vacuum. Since the groove to be communicated is formed concentrically with the supply path, the groove can be formed by the same machining with the same tool as the supply path, and it is not necessary to form the groove alone. Therefore, the sticking of the seal member to the cylinder body can be prevented without increasing the number of processing steps.
[0034]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, the groove for communicating the peripheral groove of the master cylinder body with the supply path is provided to prevent the seal member from sticking to the master cylinder body when the master cylinder is filled with the working fluid by vacuum. Since the supply path and the supply tool are formed by the same processing, the groove does not need to be formed alone. Therefore, the sticking of the seal member to the master cylinder body can be prevented without increasing the number of processing steps.
