【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、四輪自動車や自動二輪車等の車両に搭載される車両用ディスクブレーキのキャリパボディ製造方法及びキャリパボディに係り、詳しくは、作用部にシリンダ孔を、反作用部に反力爪をそれぞれ備え、該反作用部と前記作用部とをブリッジ部で一体に連結したモノコックタイプのキャリパボディの製造方法及びキャリパボディに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ディスクロータ側に開口したシリンダ孔が形成された作用部と、該作用部にディスクロータを挟んで対向し、前記シリンダ孔の外周両側に対向配置されるよう反力爪が設けられた反作用部と、該反作用部と前記作用部とをディスクロータの外周を跨いで連結するブリッジ部とを鋳造成形により一体に形成したモノコックタイプのキャリパボディは、鋳造成形時に、作用部にはシリンダ孔の下孔となる有底孔がディスクロータ側に開口して設けられるとともに、反力爪には、有底孔用の中子を引き抜くための開口がディスクロータ軸方向に貫通形成されている。キャリパボディの鋳造成形後には、シリンダ孔の外周に対向する一対の反力爪の間から切削工具を前記有底孔に差し入れて、有底孔を仕上げ加工し、所要精度のシリンダ孔に形成していた(例えば、特許文献1及び2参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上述のものでは、シリンダ孔の径を変更すると、それに伴って反力爪の形成位置も変更しなくてはならないため、シリンダ孔の径に応じた個別の鋳造型が必要となっていた。また、シリンダ孔が隣接する場合、シリンダ孔の加工を逃げるために、反作用部側の鋳抜き形状を大きくしなければならず、反力爪の肉厚を確保することができなかった。
【0006】
そこで本発明は、径の異なるシリンダ孔を備えた数種類のキャリパボディを同一の鋳造型を用いて成形でき、鋳造型の汎用性を高めることによりコストの低減を図るとともに、反力爪の肉厚を確保することができる車両用ディスクブレーキのキャリパボディ製造方法及びキャリパボディを提供することを目的としている。

【0015】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の各形態例を図面に基づいて詳しく説明する。図1乃至図4は、本発明の第1形態例を示すもので、図1は図2のI−I断面図、図2はキャリパボディの正面図、図3は図4のIII−III断面図、図4は図1のキャリパボディを用いたディスクブレーキの正面図である。
【0016】
本形態例のディスクブレーキ1は、矢印A方向へ回転するディスクロータ2の一側部で車体に固設されるキャリパブラケット3に、キャリパボディ4が一対の摺動ピン5,5を介してディスク軸方向へスライド可能に支持されており、キャリパボディ4の作用部4aと反作用部4bとの間には、一対の摩擦パッド6,6がディスクロータ2を挟んで対向配置されている。
【0017】
キャリパボディ4は、ディスクロータ2の一側に配設される作用部4aと、ディスクロータ2の他側に配設される反作用部4bと、該反作用部4bと前記作用部4aとをディスクロータ2の外周を跨いで連結するブリッジ部4cとを一体に鋳造成形したモノコックタイプで、作用部4aに3つのシリンダ孔7,8,9がディスク周方向に並設されている。また、作用部4aには、取り付け腕4d,4dがディスク半径方向内側とディスクロータ回出側へ向けて突設され、キャリパブラケット3に設けられた、ディスク軸方向へ突出する摺動ピン5,5を、前記取り付け腕4d,4dに挿通することによって、キャリパボディ4がキャリパブラケット3にディスク軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。
【0018】
シリンダ孔7,8,9は、ディスクロータ2側を開口した有底円筒状に形成されており、作用部4aのディスク回出側とディスク回入側に大径で深底のシリンダ孔7,9が配設され、中央部に小径で浅底のシリンダ孔8が配設される。各シリンダ孔7,8,9には、ピストンシールを装着するシール溝7a,8a,9aと、ダストシールを装着するシール溝7b,8b,9bがそれぞれ形成されている。大径のシリンダ孔7,9の内部には大径で長いピストン10,12が、小径のシリンダ孔8の内部には、小径で短いピストン11が、前記ピストンシール及びダストシールを介してそれぞれ液密且つ移動可能に内挿され、シリンダ孔7,8,9の底部には液圧室がそれぞれ画成される。
【0019】
反作用部4bには、シリンダ孔7,8,9の外周両側に対向配置されるように、4つの反力爪13,14,15,16が設けられ、ディスク回入側の大径のシリンダ孔7の外周に反力爪13,14が、小径のシリンダ孔8の外周に反力爪14,15が、ディスク回出側の大径のシリンダ孔9の外周に反力爪15,16がそれぞれ配設されている。反力爪13,14,15,16の鋳造成形時には、隣接する反力爪13,14、反力爪14,15、反力爪15,16の間隔を、小径のシリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1と同一の間隔L1で形成し、小径のシリンダ孔8の外周に対向する一対の反力爪14,15の対向面14a,15aは鋳造成形時の間隔L1のまま使用される。大径のシリンダ孔7の外周に対向する反力爪13,14の対向面13a,14bは、鋳造成形後に大径のシリンダ孔7を切削加工する切削工具により、大径シリンダ孔7の開口端の径L2と同一の間隔L2に切削され、同様に、大径のシリンダ孔9の外周に対応する反力爪15,16の対向面15b,16aは、鋳造成形後に大径のシリンダ孔9を切削加工する切削工具により、大径シリンダ孔9の開口端の径L2と同一の間隔L2に切削されている。
【0020】
また、作用部4aと反作用部4bとの間に配設される一対の摩擦パッド6,6は、ディスクロータ2の側面と摺接するライニング6aが、金属製の裏板6bに接合されて構成され、裏板6bにはハンガーピンが挿通され、ディスク軸方向へ移動可能に吊持されている。
【0021】
液圧室は、連通孔を介してユニオン孔に連通し、運転者が制動操作を行うと、別途の液圧マスタシリンダで昇圧した作動液が、ユニオン孔から各液圧室に供給され、ピストン10,11,12をシリンダ孔7,8,9のディスクロータ方向へ押動して、作用部4a側の摩擦パッド6をディスクロータ2の一側面へ押圧する。次に、この反作用によって、キャリパボディ4が摺動ピン5,5に案内されながら作用部4a方向へ移動し、反作用部4bの反力爪13,14,15,16が、他方の摩擦パッド6をディスクロータ2の他側面へ押圧して、制動作用が行われる。
【0022】
図5及び図6は、本発明の第2形態例を示すもので、図5は図6のV−V断面図、図6はキャリパボディの正面図である。
【0023】
本形態例のキャリパボディ20は、第1形態例と同様、作用部20aと反作用部20bとをディスクロータ2の外周を跨いで連結するブリッジ部20cとを一体に鋳造成形したモノコックタイプで、作用部20aには、同径の3つのシリンダ孔21,22,23がディスク周方向に並設されている。シリンダ孔21,22,23は、ディスクロータ2側を開口した有底円筒状に形成されており、作用部20aのディスク回出側とディスク回入側に深底のシリンダ孔21,23が配設され、中央部に浅底のシリンダ孔22が配設される。各シリンダ孔21,22,23の開口端の径は、上述の第1形態例の小径のシリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1よりも大径で、大径のシリンダ孔7,9の開口端の径L2よりも小径の径L3で形成されている。また、各シリンダ孔21,22,23には、ピストンシールを装着するシール溝21a,22a,23aと、ダストシールを装着するシール溝21b,22b,23bがそれぞれ形成されている。
【0024】
反作用部20bには、シリンダ孔21,22,23の外周両側に対向配置されるように、4つの反力爪24,25,26,27が設けられ、ディスク回入側のシリンダ孔21の外周に反力爪24,25が、中央のシリンダ孔22の外周に反力爪25,26が、ディスク回出側のシリンダ孔23の外周に反力爪26,27がそれぞれ配設されている。反力爪24,25,26,27の鋳造成形時には、隣接する反力爪24,25、反力爪25,26、反力爪26,27の間隔を、シリンダ孔21,22,23の開口端の径よりも小さい寸法、例えば、第1形態例の小径シリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1で形成し、鋳造成形後に各シリンダ孔21,22,23を切削加工する切削工具により、反力爪24,25の対向面24a,25a及び、反力爪25,26の対向面25b,26a及び、反力爪26,27の対向面26b,27aが、各シリンダ孔21,22,23の開口端の径L3と同一の間隔に切削されている。
【0025】
次に、上述の両キャリパボディの製造方法について説明する。図7は、図8のVII−VII断面図、図8は反作用部と作用部とブリッジ部とを一体に成形した鋳造成形時のキャリパボディの正面図を示し、キャリパボディ4,20は、図7及び図8に示される鋳造成形後のキャリパボディ30を切削加工することによって形成される。
【0026】
鋳造成形時のキャリパボディ30は、アルミニウム合金や鋳鉄等の金属材料を用いて、作用部30a、反作用部30b、ブリッジ部30cを一体に鋳造成形したもので、作用部30aには、切削加工後シリンダ孔7,8,9となる下孔31,32,33が形成され、反作用部30bには、切削加工後に反力爪13,14,15,16となる元爪34,35,36,37が形成されている。元爪34,35,36,37は、隣接する元爪34,35、元爪35,36、元爪36,37の間隔が、小径のシリンダ孔、例えば形態例1のシリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1と同一の寸法L1に設定されている。
【0027】
このように形成された元爪34,35,36,37の反ディスクロータ側に、シリンダ孔を形成する切削工具を位置させ、該切削工具をディスクロータ方向へ移動させて、元爪34,35の対向面34a,35a間、元爪35,36の対向面35b,36a間、元爪36b,37a間から切削工具を作用部30aの下孔31,32,33へ挿入し、下孔31,32,33を所定の径で、所定の深さまで切削して、所要の寸法精度のシリンダ孔にそれぞれ切削加工する。
【0028】
形態例1のキャリパボディ4を製造するときには、元爪34,35,36,37の隣接する元爪34,35、元爪35,36、元爪36,37の間隔が、加工後の小径シリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1と同一の寸法L1に形成されていることから、小径のシリンダ孔8を形成する際には、シリンダ孔8を形成する切削工具を元爪35,36の反ディスクロータ側に位置させ、元爪35,36の対向面35b,36a間から切削工具を通す。そして、該対向面35b,36aを削ることなく切削工具をディスクロータ方向へ移動させ、下孔32をシリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1に切削し、さらにシール溝8a,8b を切削加工してシリンダ孔8を形成する。
【0029】
一方、下孔31,33を切削加工して、シリンダ孔8より大径のシリンダ孔7,9を形成する際には、シリンダ孔7,9を形成する切削工具を元爪34,35,36,37の反ディスクロータ側に位置させ、元爪34,35の対向面34a,35a及び元爪36,37の対向面36b,37aを切削しながら下孔31,33へ切削工具を進入させる。該切削工具によって、前記対向面34a,35a間と対向面36b,37a間をそれぞれシリンダ孔7,9の開口端の径L2に切削しながら、下孔31,33をシリンダ孔7,9の開口端の径L2に切削し、さらに、シール溝7a,7b,9a,9bをそれぞれ切削加工してシリンダ孔7,9を形成する。これにより、図1乃至図4に示される第1形態例のキャリパボディ4が形成される。
【0030】
第2形態例のキャリパボディ20を製造する場合は、鋳造成形した後のキャリパボディ30の元爪34,35,36,37の反ディスクロータ側に、シリンダ孔21,22,23を形成する切削工具を位置させて、該切削工具をディスクロータ方向へ移動させ、元爪34,35の対向面34a,35a間、元爪35,36の対向面35b,36a間、元爪36,37の対向面36b,37a間から切削工具を作用部30aの下孔31,32,33へ挿入する。
【0031】
このとき、元爪34,35,36,37の隣接する元爪34,35、元爪35,36、元爪36,37の間隔が、形態例1の小径シリンダ孔8の開口端の径L1と同一の寸法L1に形成されていることから、前記シリンダ孔8よりも大径のシリンダ孔21,22,23を形成する際には、前記対向面34a,35a間、対向面35b,36a間、対向面36b,37a間をそれぞれシリンダ孔21,22,23の開口端の径L3に切削しながら、下孔31,32,33へ切削工具を進入させて、下孔31,32,33をシリンダ孔21,22,23の開口端の径L3に切削し、さらに、シール溝21a,21b,22a,22b,23a,23bをそれぞれ切削加工してシリンダ孔21,22,23を形成する。これにより、図5及び図6に示される第2形態例のキャリパボディ20が形成される。
【0032】
上述のような方法でキャリパボディ4,20を製造することによって、1つの鋳造型を用いて、キャリパボディ4,20を製造することができる。また、切削工具の刃を変更すれば、同一の切削工具を用いてキャリパボディ4,20のシリンダ孔7,8,9,21,22,23を形成することができ、コストの低減化を図ることができる。さらに、3つのシリンダ孔の径をすべて小径のシリンダ孔8の径L1と同一にする際には、鋳造成形時の元爪34,35,36,37を切削せずにそのまま用いることができる。
【0033】
なお、本発明は上述の形態例に限るものではなく、1つのシリンダ孔を備えたモノコックタイプのキャリパボディにも適用でき、この場合、鋳造成形時には、キャリパボディの作用部にあらかじめ設定された小径の下孔を形成し、反作用部に該下孔の径と同一寸法の間隔で反力爪を形成しておく。これにより、下孔をシリンダ孔に切削加工する際に、反力爪の対向面を切削しながら、作用部側へ切削工具を進入させて、所望の径のシリンダ孔を形成することができ、1つの鋳造型を用いてシリンダ孔の径が異なる数種類のキャリパボディを製造することができる。
【0034】
さらに、シリンダ孔の数は上述の各形態例のように、3つに限るものではなく、2つのものや、3つ以上のものにも適用できる。シリンダ孔の径も、様々に設定することができ、予め設定された最も小さい径のシリンダ孔の径に合わせて鋳造成型時のキャリパボディのシリンダ孔や反力爪の間隔を設定し、切削加工によって仕上げることによって、シリンダ孔の個数が同一であれば、様々な径のシリンダ孔を有したキャリパボディを、1つの鋳造型で製造することができるようになる。
【0035】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、径の異なるシリンダ孔を備えた数種類のキャリパボディを、シリンダ孔の数が同一であれば、同一の鋳造型を用いて成形できるようになり、鋳造型の汎用性を高めることによりコストの低減を図ることができる。さらに、シリンダ孔が隣接する場合でも、シリンダ孔の加工を逃げるための反作用部側の鋳抜き形状が大きくなることを抑制させることができ、反力爪の肉厚を確保することができる。

At this time, the distance between the adjacent original claws 34, 35, the original claws 35, 36, and the original claws 36, 37 of the original claws 34, 35, 36, 37 is the diameter L1 of the opening end of the small diameter cylinder hole 8 of the first embodiment. Therefore, when the cylinder holes 21, 22, and 23 having a diameter larger than that of the cylinder hole 8 are formed, the distance between the opposed surfaces 34a and 35a and the distance between the opposed surfaces 35b and 36a are defined. The cutting tool is inserted into the lower holes 31, 32, 33 while cutting the gaps between the facing surfaces 36 b, 37 a to the diameter L 3 of the open ends of the cylinder holes 21, 22, 23. The cylinder holes 21, 22, and 23 are cut to the diameter L3 of the open ends, and the seal grooves 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, and 23b are cut to form the cylinder holes 21, 22, and 23, respectively. As a result, the caliper body 20 of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is formed.

Furthermore, when making the diameters of the three cylinder holes all the same as the diameter L1 of the small cylinder hole 8, the original claws 34, 35, 36, 37 at the time of casting can be used as they are without being cut.
[0033]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can also be applied to a monocoque type caliper body having a single cylinder hole. A reaction force claw is formed in the reaction portion at intervals equal to the diameter of the lower hole. Thereby, when cutting the lower hole into the cylinder hole, the cutting tool can enter the action portion side while cutting the opposing surface of the reaction force claw, and a cylinder hole with a desired diameter can be formed. Several types of caliper bodies with different diameters of cylinder holes can be manufactured using a single casting mold.
[0034]
Further, the number of cylinder holes is not limited to three as in each of the above-described embodiments, and can be applied to two or three or more. The diameter of the cylinder hole can also be set in various ways, and according to the diameter of the smallest cylinder hole set in advance, the distance between the cylinder hole of the caliper body and the reaction force claw during casting is set, and cutting If the number of cylinder holes is the same, the caliper body having cylinder holes of various diameters can be manufactured with one casting mold.
