Description

この発明は円すいころ軸受に関し、たとえば自走車両のデファレンシャルやトランスミッション等の動力伝達軸を支持する軸受に適用することができる。   The present invention relates to a tapered roller bearing and can be applied to a bearing that supports a power transmission shaft such as a differential of a self-propelled vehicle or a transmission.

円すいころ軸受は、外径面の軌道面の両側に小つばと大つばが設けられた内輪と、内径面に軌道面が設けられた外輪と、内輪と外輪の軌道面間に配列された複数の円すいころと、これらの円すいころをポケットに収納して保持する保持器とからなり、保持器には、円すいころの小径端面側で連なる小環状部と、円すいころの大径端面側で連なる大環状部と、これらの環状部を連結する複数の柱部とからなり、ポケットが、円すいころの小径側を収納する部分が狭幅側、大径側を収納する部分が広幅側となる台形状に形成されたものが用いられている。   Tapered roller bearings consist of an inner ring with small and large collars on both sides of the raceway surface of the outer diameter surface, an outer ring with a raceway surface on the inner diameter surface, and a plurality of rows arranged between the raceway surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring. And a retainer that holds and stores these tapered rollers in a pocket. The retainer is connected to a small annular portion that is continuous on the small diameter end surface side of the tapered roller, and is connected on the large diameter end surface side of the tapered roller. A base composed of a large annular portion and a plurality of column portions connecting these annular portions, wherein the pocket has a narrow side on the small diameter side of the tapered roller and a wide side on the large diameter side. What was formed in the shape is used.

自走車両のデファレンシャルやトランスミッション等の動力伝達軸を支持する円すいころ軸受は、下部が油浴に漬かった状態で使用され、その回転に伴って油浴の油が潤滑油として軸受内部に流入する。このような用途に使用される円すいころ軸受では、潤滑油が円すいころの小径側から軸受内部に流入し、保持器よりも外径側から流入する潤滑油は外輪の軌道面に沿って円すいころの大径側へ通過し、保持器よりも内径側から流入する潤滑油は内輪の軌道面に沿って円すいころの大径側へ通過する。   Tapered roller bearings that support power transmission shafts such as differentials and transmissions of self-propelled vehicles are used with the lower part immersed in an oil bath, and the oil in the oil bath flows into the bearing as lubricating oil as it rotates. . In tapered roller bearings used for such applications, the lubricating oil flows into the bearing from the small diameter side of the tapered roller, and the lubricating oil flowing from the outer diameter side of the cage flows along the raceway surface of the outer ring. The lubricating oil that passes to the larger diameter side and flows from the inner diameter side to the cage passes along the raceway surface of the inner ring to the larger diameter side of the tapered roller.

このように潤滑油が外部から流入する部位に使用される円すいころ軸受には、保持器のポケットに切欠きを設けて、保持器の外径側と内径側とに分かれて流入する潤滑油がこの切欠きを通過するようにし、軸受内部での潤滑油の流通を向上させるようにしたものがある（特許文献１，２参照）。特許文献１に記載されたものでは、図１６（Ａ）に示すように、保持器５のポケット９間の柱部８の中央部に切欠き１０ｄを設け、潤滑油に混入する異物が軸受内部に滞留しないようにしている。また、特許文献２に記載されたものでは、図１６(Ｂ)に示すように、保持器５のポケット９の軸方向両端の小環状部６と大環状部７に切欠き１０ｅを設け、保持器の外径側から流入する潤滑油が内輪側へ流れやすくなるようにしている。なお、各図中に記入したポケット９の各寸法は、後述するトルク測定試験における比較例に用いたものの値である。   In such a tapered roller bearing used for a portion where the lubricating oil flows from the outside, a notch is provided in the pocket of the cage, and the lubricating oil that flows into the outer diameter side and the inner diameter side of the cage is separated. There is one that passes through this notch and improves the flow of lubricating oil inside the bearing (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). In the device described in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 16 (A), a notch 10d is provided in the central portion of the column portion 8 between the pockets 9 of the cage 5, and foreign matter mixed into the lubricating oil is generated inside the bearing. So that it does not stay. Moreover, in what was described in patent document 2, as shown to FIG. 16 (B), the notch 10e is provided in the small annular part 6 and the large annular part 7 of the axial direction both ends of the pocket 9 of the holder | retainer 5, and hold | maintained. The lubricating oil flowing in from the outer diameter side of the vessel is made easier to flow to the inner ring side. In addition, each dimension of the pocket 9 entered in each figure is the value used for the comparative example in the torque measurement test mentioned later.

ところで、自動車トランスミッションは、近年、ミッションのＡＴ化、ＣＶＴ化および低燃費化等のために低粘度の油が使われる傾向にある。低粘度オイルが使用される環境化では、（１）油温が高い、（２）油量が少ない、（３）予圧抜けが発生するなどの悪条件が重なった場合に、潤滑不良に起因する非常に短寿命の表面起点剥離が面圧の高い内輪軌道面に生じることがある。   By the way, in recent years, low-viscosity oil tends to be used for automobile transmissions in order to achieve mission AT, CVT, fuel efficiency, and the like. In an environment where low-viscosity oil is used, it is caused by poor lubrication when adverse conditions such as (1) high oil temperature, (2) low oil volume, and (3) preload loss occur. Very short-life surface-origin separation may occur on the inner ring raceway surface with high surface pressure.

この表面起点剥離による短寿命対策としては最大面圧低減が直接的かつ有効な解決策である。最大面圧を低減するためには軸受寸法を変更するか、軸受寸法を変えない場合は軸受のころ本数を増大させる。ころ直径を減少させないでころ本数を増やすためには保持器のポケット間隔を狭くしなければならないが、そのためには保持器のピッチ円を大きくして外輪側にできるだけ寄せる必要がある。   As a countermeasure for short life due to this surface-origin separation, reduction of the maximum surface pressure is a direct and effective solution. In order to reduce the maximum surface pressure, the bearing dimensions are changed, or if the bearing dimensions are not changed, the number of rollers of the bearing is increased. In order to increase the number of rollers without reducing the roller diameter, the pocket interval of the cage must be narrowed. For this purpose, it is necessary to enlarge the pitch circle of the cage and bring it closer to the outer ring side as much as possible.

保持器を外輪内径面に接するまで寄せた例として、図１４に記載の円すいころ軸受がある（特許文献６参照）。この円すいころ軸受６１は保持器６２の小径側環状部６２ａの外周面と大径側環状部６２ｂの外周面を外輪６３内径面と摺接させて保持器６２をガイドし、保持器６２の柱部６２ｃの外径面に引きずりトルクを抑制するため凹所６４を形成して、柱部６２ｃの外径面と外輪６３の軌道面６３ａの非接触状態を維持するようにしている。保持器６２は、小径側環状部６２ａと、大径側環状部６２ｂと、小径側環状部６２ａと大径側環状部６２ｂとを軸方向に繋ぎ外径面に凹所６４が形成された複数の柱部６２ｃとを有する。そして柱部６２ｃ相互間に円すいころ６５を転動自在に収容するための複数のポケットが設けられている。小径側環状部６２ａには、内径側に一体に延びたつば部６２ｄが設けられている。図１４の円すいころ軸受は、保持器６２の強度向上を図るもので、保持器６２の柱部６２ｃの周方向幅を大きくするために保持器６２を外輪６３の内径面に接するまで寄せた例である。

The tapered roller bearing 61 guides the cage 62 by sliding the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter side annular portion 62 a and the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter side annular portion 62 b with the inner surface of the outer ring 63. In order to suppress drag torque on the outer diameter surface of the portion 62c, a recess 64 is formed to maintain a non-contact state between the outer diameter surface of the column portion 62c and the raceway surface 63a of the outer ring 63. The retainer 62 includes a plurality of small-diameter-side annular portions 62a, large-diameter-side annular portions 62b, small-diameter-side annular portions 62a, and large-diameter-side annular portions 62b that are axially connected to each other so that a recess 64 is formed on the outer diameter surface.

特許文献１及び特許文献２に記載のように、潤滑油が保持器の外径側と内径側とに分かれて軸受内部へ流入する円すいころ軸受では、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油の割合が多くなると、トルク損失が大きくなることが分かった。この理由は、以下のように考えられる。   As described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, in the tapered roller bearing in which the lubricating oil is divided into the outer diameter side and the inner diameter side of the cage and flows into the bearing, it flows from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side. It has been found that torque loss increases as the proportion of lubricating oil increases. The reason is considered as follows.

すなわち、保持器の外径側から外輪側へ流入する潤滑油は、外輪の内径面には障害物がないので、その軌道面に沿って円すいころの大径側へスムーズに通過して軸受内部から流出するが、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油は、内輪の外径面には大つばがあるので、その軌道面に沿って円すいころの大径側へ通過したときに大つばで堰き止められ、軸受内部に滞留しやすくなる。このため、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油の割合が多くなると、軸受内部に滞留する潤滑油の量が多くなり、この滞留する潤滑油が軸受回転に対する流動抵抗となってトルク損失が増大するものと考えられる。   That is, the lubricating oil flowing from the outer diameter side of the cage to the outer ring side smoothly passes to the large diameter side of the tapered roller along the raceway surface because there is no obstacle on the inner diameter surface of the outer ring. The lubricating oil flowing out from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side has a large brim on the outer diameter surface of the inner ring, so when it passes along the raceway surface to the larger diameter side of the tapered roller It is blocked by a large brim and tends to stay inside the bearing. For this reason, when the ratio of the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side to the inner ring side of the cage increases, the amount of the lubricating oil staying inside the bearing increases, and this staying lubricating oil becomes a flow resistance against the bearing rotation and generates torque. Loss is considered to increase.

したがって、軸受内部に潤滑油が流入する円すいころ軸受における潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失を低減させる必要がある。以上が低トルク化のために油の流動抵抗を減少させる方法であるが、大幅な低トルク化を行うためには、転がり粘性抵抗が低下するように軸受諸元を変更することが必要である。しかしながら、従来の低トルク化手法（特許文献３〜５参照）では、定格荷重を低下させない低トルク化は可能であるが、軸受剛性はいくらか低下する。   Therefore, it is necessary to reduce torque loss due to flow resistance of the lubricating oil in the tapered roller bearing in which the lubricating oil flows into the bearing. The above is a method for reducing the flow resistance of oil to reduce torque, but in order to significantly reduce torque, it is necessary to change the bearing specifications so that the rolling viscous resistance decreases. . However, in the conventional torque reduction method (see Patent Documents 3 to 5), torque reduction without reducing the rated load is possible, but the bearing rigidity is somewhat reduced.

特許文献６に記載の円すいころ軸受６１では、保持器６２を外輪６３の内径面に接するまで外径に寄せて保持器６２の柱部６２ｃの周方向幅を大きくしている。また、保持器６２の柱部６２ｃに凹所６４があるので、板厚が必然的に薄くなって保持器６２の剛性が低下し、軸受６１の組立て時の応力によって保持器６２が変形したり、軸受６１の回転中に保持器６２が変形したりする等の可能性もある。   In the tapered roller bearing 61 described in Patent Literature 6, the circumferential width of the column portion 62 c of the cage 62 is increased by moving the cage 62 toward the outside diameter until it comes into contact with the inside diameter surface of the outer ring 63. Further, since the recesses 64 are provided in the column portion 62c of the cage 62, the plate thickness is inevitably thinned, the rigidity of the cage 62 is reduced, and the cage 62 is deformed by the stress when the bearing 61 is assembled. There is also a possibility that the cage 62 is deformed while the bearing 61 is rotating.

この発明の主要な目的は、ころ本数を増やすことによって負荷容量を増加すると共に軌道面の面圧過大による早期破損を防止し、かつ軸受剛性を低下させることなく、低トルク化を実現することにある。   The main object of the present invention is to increase the load capacity by increasing the number of rollers, to prevent premature damage due to excessive surface pressure of the raceway surface, and to achieve low torque without reducing bearing rigidity. is there.

この発明の円すいころ軸受は、内輪と、外輪と、内輪と外輪との間に転動自在に配された複数の円すいころと、円すいころを円周所定間隔に保持する保持器とを備えた円すいころ軸受において、ＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔が（ころ径／ころ本数）未満になるように均等に前記円すいころが配置され、保持器が、円すいころの小径端面側で連なる小環状部と、円すいころの大径端面側で連なる大環状部と、これらの環状部を連結する複数の柱部とからなり、隣接する柱部間に、円すいころの小径側を収納する部分が狭幅側、大径側を収納する部分が広幅側となる台形状のポケットが形成され、ポケットの狭幅側の柱部に切欠きを設けたことを特徴とするものである。   The tapered roller bearing according to the present invention includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of tapered rollers arranged to roll between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a cage that holds the tapered rollers at a predetermined circumferential interval. In the tapered roller bearing, the tapered rollers are uniformly arranged so that the interval on the PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), and the cage includes a small annular portion continuous on the small diameter end surface side of the tapered roller, and the tapered roller It consists of a large annular part that is continuous on the large diameter end face side of the roller and a plurality of pillars that connect these annular parts, and the part that houses the small diameter side of the tapered roller is between the narrow pillar side and the large part. A trapezoidal pocket is formed in which the portion for accommodating the radial side is the wide side, and a notch is provided in the column portion on the narrow side of the pocket.

ところで、図１７は円すいころ軸受においてころピッチ径（ＰＣＤ）を変化させたときの剛性比（−●−）およびトルク比（−○−）を表したものである。図１７に示すように、ＰＣＤを小さくすると軸受のトルクは大幅に低下するが、軸受剛性はあまり低下しないことが、ころの弾性変形量を計算確認した結果として得られた。そこで、ころ本数を減らさないか増加させつつＰＣＤを小さくすれば、剛性を低下させずにトルクを低減させることができる。   FIG. 17 shows the rigidity ratio (-●-) and torque ratio (-o-) when the roller pitch diameter (PCD) is changed in the tapered roller bearing. As shown in FIG. 17, when the PCD is reduced, the bearing torque is significantly reduced, but the bearing rigidity is not reduced so much as a result of calculating and confirming the elastic deformation amount of the rollers. Therefore, if the PCD is reduced while the number of rollers is not reduced or increased, the torque can be reduced without reducing the rigidity.

本発明では、ＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔が（ころ径／ころ本数）未満になるように均等に前記円すいころを配置することによって、ころ本数を増加させつつこのＰＣＤを小さくできる。また、ころ本数を増加させることによって、本数を増やすことによって負荷容量を増加し軌道面の面圧過大による早期破損を防止することができる。   In the present invention, the PCD can be reduced while increasing the number of rollers by arranging the tapered rollers uniformly so that the interval on the PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers). Further, by increasing the number of rollers, it is possible to increase the load capacity by increasing the number of rollers and prevent early breakage due to excessive surface pressure on the raceway surface.

また、保持器の台形状のポケットの狭幅側の柱部に切欠きを設けることにより、次のような作用が得られる。すなわち、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入した潤滑油を、この切欠きを通して外輪側へ速やかに逃がすことができる。   Moreover, the following effect | action is acquired by providing a notch in the column part by the side of the narrow side of the trapezoid shaped pocket of a holder | retainer. That is, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side can be quickly released to the outer ring side through this notch.

請求項２の発明は、請求項１の円すいころ軸受において、ポケットの狭幅側の小環状部にも切欠きを設けたことを特徴とするものである。このような構成を採用することにより、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油をこの切欠きからも外輪側へ逃がしてやることができる。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the tapered roller bearing according to the first aspect, a notch is also provided in the small annular portion on the narrow side of the pocket. By adopting such a configuration, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side can be released from the notch to the outer ring side.

請求項３の発明は、請求項１または２の円すいころ軸受において、ポケットの広幅側の少なくとも柱部に切欠きを設けたことを特徴とするものである。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the tapered roller bearing of the first or second aspect, a notch is provided in at least a column portion on the wide side of the pocket.

請求項４の発明は、請求項３の円すいころ軸受において、ポケットの狭幅側に設けた切欠きの合計面積を、ポケットの広幅側に設けた切欠きの合計面積よりも広くしたことを特徴とするものである。   According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the tapered roller bearing of the third aspect, the total area of the notches provided on the narrow side of the pocket is made wider than the total area of the notches provided on the wide side of the pocket. It is what.

請求項５の発明は、請求項１ないし４のいずれかの円すいころ軸受において、保持器の小環状部の軸方向外側に、内輪の小つばの外径面に対向させた径方向内向きのつばを設け、前記つばの内径面と内輪の小つばの外径面との間のすきまの上限を小つばの外径寸法の２．０％としたことを特徴とするものである。   According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the tapered roller bearing according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, a radially inwardly facing outer diameter surface of the small collar of the inner ring is provided on the outer side in the axial direction of the small annular portion of the cage. A collar is provided, and the upper limit of the clearance between the inner diameter surface of the collar and the outer diameter surface of the small collar of the inner ring is set to 2.0% of the outer diameter dimension of the small collar.

請求項６の発明は、請求項１ないし５のいずれかの円すいころ軸受において、少なくとも円すいころの表面に、微小凹形形状のくぼみをランダムに無数に設け、このくぼみを設けた表面の面粗さパラメータＲｙｎｉを０．４μｍ≦Ｒｙｎｉ≦１．０μｍとし、かつ、Ｓｋ値を−１．６以下としたことを特徴とするものである。   According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the tapered roller bearing according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, an infinite number of minute concave concaves are randomly provided on at least the surface of the tapered roller, and the surface roughness of the surface provided with the concaves is provided. The parameter Ryni is 0.4 μm ≦ Ryni ≦ 1.0 μm, and the Sk value is −1.6 or less.

パラメータＲｙｎｉは、基準長毎最大高さの平均値、すなわち、粗さ曲線からその平均線の方向に基準長さだけ抜き取り、この抜き取り部分の山頂線と谷底線との間隔を粗さ曲線の縦倍率の方向に測定した値である（ＩＳＯ ４２８７：１９９７）。また、Ｓｋ値は粗さ曲線のひずみ度、すなわち、粗さの凹凸分布の非対称性を表す値であり（ＩＳＯ ４２８７：１９９７）、ガウス分布のように対称な分布ではＳｋ値は０に近くなり、凹凸の凸部を削除した場合は負の値、逆に凹部を削除した場合は正の値となる。Ｓｋ値のコントロールは、バレル研磨機の回転速度、加工時間、ワーク投入量、研磨チップの種類と大きさ等を選ぶことにより行うことができ、Ｓｋ値を−１．６以下とすることにより、無数の微小凹形形状のくぼみに満遍なく潤滑油を保持することができる。   The parameter Ryni is the average value of the maximum height for each reference length, that is, the reference length is extracted from the roughness curve in the direction of the average line, and the interval between the peak line and the valley bottom line of this extracted part is set to the vertical line of the roughness curve. It is a value measured in the direction of magnification (ISO 4287: 1997). The Sk value is a value representing the degree of distortion of the roughness curve, that is, the asymmetry of the roughness unevenness distribution (ISO 4287: 1997), and the Sk value is close to 0 in a symmetric distribution such as a Gaussian distribution. When the concave and convex portions are deleted, a negative value is obtained. Conversely, when the concave portions are deleted, a positive value is obtained. The Sk value can be controlled by selecting the rotational speed of the barrel polishing machine, the processing time, the workpiece input amount, the type and size of the polishing tip, etc., and by setting the Sk value to −1.6 or less, Lubricating oil can be held evenly in innumerable minute concave recesses.

上述した各円すいころ軸受は、自走車両の動力伝達軸を支持するものに好適である（請求項７）。   Each of the tapered roller bearings described above is suitable for supporting a power transmission shaft of a self-propelled vehicle.

この発明によれば、ＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔が（ころ径／ころ本数）未満になるように均等に前記円すいころが配置されるので、ころ本数を増加させつつこのＰＣＤを小さくできる。これにより、軸受剛性を低下させることなく、低トルク化を実現できる。また、ころ本数を増加させることによって、負荷容量がアップするばかりでなく、軌道面の最大面圧を低下させることができるため、過酷潤滑条件下での極短寿命での表面起点剥離を防止することができる。   According to the present invention, since the tapered rollers are uniformly arranged so that the interval on the PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), the PCD can be reduced while increasing the number of rollers. Thereby, low torque can be realized without reducing the bearing rigidity. In addition, increasing the number of rollers not only increases the load capacity, but also reduces the maximum surface pressure of the raceway surface, thus preventing surface-origin separation with an extremely short life under severe lubrication conditions. be able to.

また、保持器の台形状ポケットの狭幅側の柱部に切欠きを設けることにより、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入した潤滑油を、この切欠きを通して外輪側へ速やかに逃がすことができるため、内輪の軌道面に沿って大つばに至る潤滑油の量が少なくなり、軸受内部に滞留する潤滑油の量が減少して、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失が低減する。   In addition, by providing a notch in the narrow pillar portion of the trapezoidal pocket of the cage, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side can be quickly released to the outer ring side through this notch. As a result, the amount of lubricating oil reaching the large collar along the raceway surface of the inner ring is reduced, the amount of lubricating oil remaining in the bearing is reduced, and torque loss due to the flow resistance of the lubricating oil is reduced.

前記ポケットの狭幅側の小環状部にも切欠きを設けることにより、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油をこの小環状部の切欠きからも外輪側へ逃がし、内輪の軌道面に沿って大つばまで到る潤滑油の量をより少なくして、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失をさらに低減することができる。   By providing a notch also in the small annular part on the narrow side of the pocket, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side is released from the notch of the small annular part to the outer ring side, and the inner ring raceway It is possible to further reduce the torque loss due to the flow resistance of the lubricating oil by reducing the amount of lubricating oil reaching the large brim along the surface.

前記ポケットの広幅側の少なくとも柱部に切欠きを設けることにより、円すいころをバランスよく柱部に摺接させることができる。   By providing a notch in at least the column portion on the wide side of the pocket, the tapered roller can be slidably contacted with the column portion in a balanced manner.

前記ポケットの狭幅側に設けた切欠きの合計面積を、台形状ポケットの広幅側に設けた切欠きの合計面積よりも広くすることによっても、内輪の軌道面に沿って大つばまで到る潤滑油の量をより少なくして、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失をさらに低減することができる。   Even by making the total area of the notches provided on the narrow side of the pocket larger than the total area of the notches provided on the wide side of the trapezoidal pocket, it can reach a large brim along the raceway surface of the inner ring. It is possible to further reduce torque loss due to the flow resistance of the lubricating oil by reducing the amount of the lubricating oil.

前記保持器の小環状部の輪方向外側に、内輪の小つばの外径面に対向させた径方向内向きのつばを設け、この対向させた小環状部のつばの内径面と内輪の小つばの外径面との隙間を、内輪の小つばの外径寸法の２．０％以下とすることにより、保持器の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油の量を少なくし、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失をより低減することができる。   A radially inward flange is provided on the outer side of the small annular portion of the cage in the radial direction so as to face the outer diameter surface of the small collar of the inner ring. By setting the clearance between the outer diameter surface of the collar to 2.0% or less of the outer diameter of the small collar of the inner ring, the amount of lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage to the inner ring side is reduced, and the lubricating oil Torque loss due to the flow resistance can be further reduced.

少なくとも前記円すいころの表面に、微小凹形形状のくぼみをランダムに無数に設け、このくぼみを設けた表面の面粗さパラメータＲｙｎｉを０．４μｍ≦Ｒｙｎｉ≦１．０μｍとし、かつ、Ｓｋ値を−１．６以下とすることにより、円すいころの表面に満遍なく潤滑油を保持させて、軸受内部に滞留する潤滑油の量を減らしても、円すいころと内外輪との接触部を十分に潤滑することができる。   At least the surface of the tapered roller is provided with an infinite number of minute concave concaves, the surface roughness parameter Ryni of the surface provided with the concaves is 0.4 μm ≦ Ryni ≦ 1.0 μm, and the Sk value is Even if the amount of lubricating oil staying in the bearing is reduced by holding the lubricating oil evenly on the surface of the tapered roller by setting it to -1.6 or less, the contact portion between the tapered roller and the inner and outer rings is sufficiently lubricated. can do.

以下、図面に従ってこの発明の実施の形態を説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図１に示す実施の形態の円すいころ軸受１は、内輪２と、外輪３と、円すいころ４と、保持器５とで構成されている。内輪２は外周に円すい状の軌道面２ａを有し、外輪３は内周に円すい状の軌道面３ａを有する。複数の円すいころ４が、内輪２の軌道面２ａと外輪３の軌道面３ａとの間に転動自在に介在させてある。円すいころ４は保持器５に形成されたポケット内に収容されている。各円すいころ４は、内輪２の軌道面２ａの両側に設けた小つば２ｂと大つば２ｃとで軸方向への移動を規制されている。   A tapered roller bearing 1 according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes an inner ring 2, an outer ring 3, a tapered roller 4, and a cage 5. The inner ring 2 has a conical track surface 2a on the outer periphery, and the outer ring 3 has a conical track surface 3a on the inner periphery. A plurality of tapered rollers 4 are interposed between the raceway surface 2a of the inner ring 2 and the raceway surface 3a of the outer ring 3 so as to be freely rollable. The tapered roller 4 is accommodated in a pocket formed in the cage 5. Each tapered roller 4 is restricted from moving in the axial direction by a small brim 2 b and a large brim 2 c provided on both sides of the raceway surface 2 a of the inner ring 2.

ここで、この円すいころ軸受１は、ＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔が（ころ径／ころ本数）未満になっている。   Here, in the tapered roller bearing 1, the interval on the PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers).

保持器５は、円すいころ４の小径端面側で連なる小環状部６と、円すいころ４の大径端面側で連なる大環状部７と、これらの小環状部６と大環状部７を連結する複数の柱部８とを含んでいる。そして、図２に示すように、隣り合った柱部８間にポケット９が形成される。保持器５のポケット９は台形状で、円すいころ４の小径側を収納する部分が狭幅側、大径側を収納する部分が広幅側となる。ポケット９の狭幅側と広幅側には、それぞれ両側の柱部８に２つずつ、外径側から内径側まで切り通した切欠き１０ａ、１０ｂが設けてある。各切欠き１０ａ、１０ｂの寸法は、いずれも深さ１．０ｍｍ、幅４．６ｍｍとされている。なお、図面に例示した切欠き１０ａ、１０ｂは、保持器５の半径方向に切り通した溝の形態をしているが、保持器５の内径側と外径側を連絡して潤滑油の円滑な通過を許容することができる限り、形状や寸法は任意である。   The cage 5 connects the small annular part 6 connected on the small diameter end face side of the tapered roller 4, the large annular part 7 connected on the large diameter end face side of the tapered roller 4, and the small annular part 6 and the large annular part 7. A plurality of column portions 8 are included. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, a pocket 9 is formed between the adjacent column portions 8. The pocket 9 of the cage 5 has a trapezoidal shape, and the portion for storing the small diameter side of the tapered roller 4 is the narrow side, and the portion for storing the large diameter side is the wide side. On the narrow side and wide side of the pocket 9, two notches 10 a and 10 b that are cut from the outer diameter side to the inner diameter side are provided in each of the column portions 8 on both sides. Each notch 10a, 10b has a depth of 1.0 mm and a width of 4.6 mm. The notches 10a and 10b illustrated in the drawings are in the form of grooves cut in the radial direction of the cage 5, but the inner diameter side and the outer diameter side of the cage 5 are connected to make the lubricating oil smooth. As long as the passage can be allowed, the shape and dimensions are arbitrary.

図３および図４に保持器５の変形例を示す。図３に示す変形例は、ポケット９の狭幅側の小環状部６にも切欠き１０ｃを設けたものである。そして、狭幅側の３つの切欠き１０ａ、１０ｃの合計面積が、広幅側の２つの切欠き１０ｂの合計面積よりも広くなっている。なお、切欠き１０ｃは深さ１．０ｍｍ、幅５．７ｍｍとしてある。   3 and 4 show a modified example of the cage 5. In the modification shown in FIG. 3, a notch 10 c is also provided in the small annular portion 6 on the narrow side of the pocket 9. The total area of the three notches 10a and 10c on the narrow side is wider than the total area of the two notches 10b on the wide side. The notch 10c has a depth of 1.0 mm and a width of 5.7 mm.

図４に示す変形例は、狭幅側の柱部８の各切欠き１０ａの深さが１．５ｍｍと広幅側の柱部８の各切欠き１０ｂよりも深く、狭幅側の各切欠き１０ａの合計面積が、広幅側の各切欠き１０ｂの合計面積よりも広くなっている。   In the modification shown in FIG. 4, the depth of each notch 10a of the narrow column portion 8 is 1.5 mm, which is deeper than each notch 10b of the wide column portion 8, and each notch on the narrow side. The total area of 10a is wider than the total area of the notches 10b on the wide side.

図５に示すように、保持器５の小環状部６の軸方向外側には、内輪２の小つば２ｂの外径面に対向させた径方向内向きのつば１１が設けてあり、このつば１１の内径面と内輪２の小つば２ｂの外径面との間のすきまδは、小つば２ｂの外径寸法の２．０％以下に狭く設定してある。   As shown in FIG. 5, a radially inward flange 11 is provided on the outer side in the axial direction of the small annular portion 6 of the cage 5 so as to face the outer diameter surface of the small collar 2b of the inner ring 2. The clearance δ between the inner diameter surface of 11 and the outer diameter surface of the small collar 2b of the inner ring 2 is set narrowly to 2.0% or less of the outer diameter dimension of the small collar 2b.

また、図示は省略するが、円すいころ４の全表面には微小凹形形状のくぼみがランダムに無数に設けてある。このくぼみを設けた表面は、面粗さパラメータＲｙｎｉが０．４μｍ≦Ｒｙｎｉ≦１．０μｍ、かつ、Ｓｋ値が−１．６以下としてある。   Although not shown in the figure, the entire surface of the tapered roller 4 is provided with an infinite number of minute concave concaves. The surface provided with the indentation has a surface roughness parameter Ryni of 0.4 μm ≦ Ryni ≦ 1.0 μm and a Sk value of −1.6 or less.

図６は、上述の円すいころ軸受を使用し得る自動車のデファレンシャルの構成を例示したものである。このデファレンシャルは、プロペラシャフト（図示省略）に連結され、デファレンシャルケース２１内に挿入したドライブピニオン２２が差動歯車ケース２３に取り付けたリングギヤ２４とかみ合い、差動歯車ケース２３の内部に取り付けたピニオンギヤ２５が、差動歯車ケース２３に左右から挿入されるドライブシャフト（図示省略）と結合するサイドギヤ２６とかみ合って、エンジンの駆動力をプロペラシャフトから左右のドライブシャフトに伝達するようになっている。このデファレンシャルでは、動力伝達軸であるドライブピニオン２２と差動歯車ケース２３が、それぞれ一対の円すいころ軸受１ａ、１ｂで支持してある。   FIG. 6 exemplifies the configuration of a vehicle differential that can use the tapered roller bearing described above. This differential is connected to a propeller shaft (not shown), and a drive pinion 22 inserted into the differential case 21 meshes with a ring gear 24 attached to the differential gear case 23, and a pinion gear 25 attached to the inside of the differential gear case 23. However, the drive gear of the engine is transmitted from the propeller shaft to the left and right drive shafts by meshing with the side gear 26 coupled to the drive shaft (not shown) inserted into the differential gear case 23 from the left and right. In this differential, a drive pinion 22 that is a power transmission shaft and a differential gear case 23 are supported by a pair of tapered roller bearings 1a and 1b, respectively.

デファレンシャルケース２１はシール部材２７ａ、２７ｂ、２７ｃで密封され、内部にており潤滑油が貯留される。各円すいころ軸受１ａ、１ｂはこの潤滑油の油浴に下部が漬かった状態で回転する。   The differential case 21 is sealed with seal members 27a, 27b, and 27c, and the lubricating oil is stored inside. Each tapered roller bearing 1a, 1b rotates with its lower part immersed in this lubricating oil bath.

各円すいころ軸受１ａ、１ｂが高速で回転してその下部が油浴に漬かると、図５に矢印で示すように、油浴の潤滑油が円すいころ４の小径側から保持器５の外径側と内径側とに分かれて軸受内部へ流入し、保持器５の外径側から外輪３へ流入した潤滑油は、外輪３の軌道面３ａに沿って円すいころ４の大径側へ通過して軸受内部から流出する。一方、保持器５の内径側から内輪２側へ流入する潤滑油は、保持器５の外径側から流入する潤滑油よりも遥かに少なく、かつ、このすきまδから流入する潤滑油の大半は、ポケット９の狭幅側の柱部８に設けた切欠き１０ａを通過して、保持器５の外径側へ移動する。したがって、そのまま内輪２の軌道面２ａに沿って大つば２ｃに至る潤滑油の量は非常に少なくなり、軸受内部に滞留する潤滑油の量を減らすことができる。   When each tapered roller bearing 1a, 1b rotates at high speed and its lower part is immersed in an oil bath, the lubricating oil in the oil bath is drawn from the small diameter side of the tapered roller 4 to the outer diameter of the cage 5 as shown by arrows in FIG. The lubricating oil that flows into the bearing divided into the inner diameter side and the inner diameter side and flows into the outer ring 3 from the outer diameter side of the cage 5 passes along the raceway surface 3 a of the outer ring 3 to the larger diameter side of the tapered roller 4. Out of the bearing. On the other hand, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage 5 to the inner ring 2 side is far less than the lubricating oil flowing from the outer diameter side of the cage 5, and most of the lubricating oil flowing from this clearance δ is Then, it passes through the notch 10 a provided in the column portion 8 on the narrow side of the pocket 9 and moves to the outer diameter side of the cage 5. Therefore, the amount of the lubricating oil that reaches the large collar 2c along the raceway surface 2a of the inner ring 2 becomes very small, and the amount of the lubricating oil staying inside the bearing can be reduced.

保持器５は、例えばＰＰＳ、ＰＥＥＫ、ＰＡ、ＰＰＡ、ＰＡＩ等のスーパーエンプラで一体成形される。保持器に、機械的強度、耐油性および耐熱性に優れたエンジニアリング・プラスチックを使用することにより、鉄板製保持器に比べ、保持器重量が軽く、自己潤滑性があり、摩擦係数が小さいという特徴があるため、軸受内に介在する潤滑油の効果と相俟って、外輪との接触による摩耗の発生を抑えることが可能になる。また、これらの樹脂は鋼板と比べると重量が軽く摩擦係数が小さいため、軸受起動時のトルク損失や保持器摩耗の低減に好適である。   The cage 5 is integrally formed with a super engineering plastic such as PPS, PEEK, PA, PPA, or PAI. By using engineering plastics with excellent mechanical strength, oil resistance and heat resistance for the cage, the cage weight is lighter, self-lubricating, and the coefficient of friction is smaller than that of steel plate cages. Therefore, in combination with the effect of the lubricating oil present in the bearing, it becomes possible to suppress the occurrence of wear due to contact with the outer ring. In addition, these resins are lighter and have a smaller coefficient of friction than steel plates, and are therefore suitable for reducing torque loss and cage wear at the start of the bearing.

エンジニアリング・プラスチックは、汎用エンジニアリング・プラスチックとスーパー・エンジニアリング・プラスチックを含む。以下に代表的なものを掲げるが、これらはエンジニアリング・プラスチックの例示であって、エンジニアリング・プラスチックが以下のものに限定されるものではない。   Engineering plastics include general purpose engineering plastics and super engineering plastics. Typical examples are listed below, but these are examples of engineering plastics, and engineering plastics are not limited to the following.

〔汎用エンジニアリング・プラスチック〕ポリカーボネート（ＰＣ）、ポリアミド６（ＰＡ６）、ポリアミド６６（ＰＡ６６）、ポリアセタール（ＰＯＭ）、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル（ｍ−ＰＰＥ）、ポリブチレンテレフタレート（ＰＢＴ）、ＧＦ強化ポリエチレンテレフタレート（ＧＦ−ＰＥＴ）、超高分子量ポリエチレン（ＵＨＭＷ−ＰＥ） [General-purpose engineering plastics] Polycarbonate (PC), polyamide 6 (PA6), polyamide 66 (PA66), polyacetal (POM), modified polyphenylene ether (m-PPE), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), GF reinforced polyethylene terephthalate (GF) -PET), ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE)

なお、保持器材料の例としてＰＰＳ、ＰＥＥＫ、ＰＡ、ＰＰＡ、ＰＡＩ等のスーパーエンプラを挙げたが、必要に応じて、強度増強のため、これら樹脂材料またはその他のエンジニアリング・プラスチックに、ガラス繊維または炭素繊維などを配合したものを使用してもよい。   Although examples of cage materials include super engineering plastics such as PPS, PEEK, PA, PPA, PAI, etc., if necessary, these resin materials or other engineering plastics may be made of glass fiber or What mix | blended carbon fiber etc. may be used.

柱面５ａの窓角θは、図７に示すように下限窓角θminが５５°であり、図８に示すように上限窓角θmaxが８０°である。窓角とは、一つのころ４の周面に当接する柱部８の案内面のなす角度をいう。窓角は、図９のように保持器７２が外輪７１から離間している典型的な保持器付き円すいころ軸受では、大きくて約５０°である。ここでは窓角を大きめに設定することにより、ころＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔を（ころ径／ころ本数）未満としてある。下限窓角θminを５５°以上としたのは、ころとの良好な接触状態を確保するためであり、窓角５５°未満ではころとの接触状態が悪くなる。すなわち、窓角を５５°以上にすると、保持器強度を確保した上で、ころＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔を（ころ径／ころ本数）未満として、かつ、良好な接触状態を確保できるのである。また、上限窓角θmaxを８０°以下としたのは、これ以上大きくなると半径方向への押し付け力が大きくなり、自己潤滑性の樹脂材であっても円滑な回転が得られなくなる危険性が生じるからである。なお、図９において、符号７３は円すいころ、７４は柱面、７５は内輪である。   As for the window angle θ of the column surface 5a, the lower limit window angle θmin is 55 ° as shown in FIG. 7, and the upper limit window angle θmax is 80 ° as shown in FIG. The window angle refers to an angle formed by the guide surface of the column portion 8 that is in contact with the peripheral surface of one roller 4. In a typical tapered roller bearing with a cage in which the cage 72 is separated from the outer ring 71 as shown in FIG. Here, the interval on the roller PCD is set to be less than (roller diameter / number of rollers) by setting the window angle to be larger. The reason why the lower limit window angle θmin is set to 55 ° or more is to ensure a good contact state with the roller, and when the window angle is less than 55 °, the contact state with the roller is deteriorated. That is, when the window angle is 55 ° or more, the cage strength is ensured, the distance on the roller PCD is set to less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), and a good contact state can be secured. Further, the upper limit window angle θmax is set to 80 ° or less. If the upper limit window angle θmax is larger than 80 °, the pressing force in the radial direction increases, and there is a risk that smooth rotation cannot be obtained even with a self-lubricating resin material. Because. In FIG. 9, reference numeral 73 is a tapered roller, 74 is a column surface, and 75 is an inner ring.

この発明によれば、ころＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔を（ころ径／ころ本数）未満としたので、ころ本数を増加させつつこのＰＣＤを小さくできる。これにより、軸受剛性を低下させることなく、低トルク化を実現できる。また、ころ本数を増加させることによって、負荷容量がアップするばかりでなく、軌道面の最大面圧を低下させることができるため、過酷潤滑条件下での極短寿命での表面起点剥離を防止することができる。   According to the present invention, since this interval on the roller PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), this PCD can be reduced while increasing the number of rollers. Thereby, low torque can be realized without reducing the bearing rigidity. In addition, increasing the number of rollers not only increases the load capacity, but also reduces the maximum surface pressure of the raceway surface, thus preventing surface-origin separation with an extremely short life under severe lubrication conditions. be able to.

また、保持器５の台形状ポケット９の狭幅側の柱部に切欠き１０ａを設けることにより、保持器５の内径側から内輪側へ流入した潤滑油を、この切欠き１０ａを通して外輪３側へ速やかに逃がすことができるため、内輪２の軌道面２ａに沿って大つばに至る潤滑油の量が少なくなり、軸受内部に滞留する潤滑油の量が減少して、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失が低減する。   Further, by providing a notch 10a in the narrow side column portion of the trapezoidal pocket 9 of the cage 5, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage 5 to the inner ring side is passed through the notch 10a to the outer ring 3 side. Because the amount of lubricating oil reaching the large brim along the raceway surface 2a of the inner ring 2 is reduced, the amount of lubricating oil staying inside the bearing is reduced, and the flow resistance of the lubricating oil Torque loss is reduced.

前記ポケット９の狭幅側の小環状部６にも切欠き１０ｃを設けることにより、保持器５の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油をこの小環状部６の切欠き１０１０ｃからも外輪３側へ逃がし、内輪２の軌道面２ａに沿って大つばまで到る潤滑油の量をより少なくして、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失をさらに低減することができる。   By providing a notch 10 c also in the small annular portion 6 on the narrow side of the pocket 9, the lubricating oil flowing from the inner diameter side of the cage 5 to the inner ring side is also supplied from the notch 1010 c of the small annular portion 6 to the outer ring 3. The amount of lubricating oil that escapes to the side and reaches the collar along the raceway surface 2a of the inner ring 2 can be further reduced, and torque loss due to the flow resistance of the lubricating oil can be further reduced.

前記ポケット９の広幅側の少なくとも柱部８に切欠き１０ｂを設けることにより、円すいころ４をバランスよく柱部８に摺接させることができる。   By providing the notch 10b in at least the column portion 8 on the wide side of the pocket 9, the tapered roller 4 can be brought into sliding contact with the column portion 8 in a balanced manner.

前記ポケット９の狭幅側に設けた切欠き１０ａの合計面積を、台形状ポケット９の広幅側に設けた切欠き１０ｂの合計面積よりも広くすることによっても、内輪２の軌道面に沿って大つば２ｃまで到る潤滑油の量をより少なくして、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失をさらに低減することができる。   By making the total area of the notches 10a provided on the narrow side of the pocket 9 wider than the total area of the notches 10b provided on the wide side of the trapezoidal pocket 9, it is possible to extend along the raceway surface of the inner ring 2. It is possible to further reduce torque loss due to the flow resistance of the lubricating oil by reducing the amount of the lubricating oil reaching the large collar 2c.

前記保持器５の小環状部６の輪方向外側に、内輪２の小つばの外径面に対向させた径方向内向きのつば１１を設け、この対向させた小環状部６のつば１１の内径面と内輪２の小つばの外径面とのすきまδを、内輪２の小つば２ｂの外径寸法の２．０％以下とすることにより、保持器５の内径側から内輪側へ流入する潤滑油の量を少なくし、潤滑油の流動抵抗によるトルク損失をより低減することができる。   A radially inward flange 11 is provided on the outer side of the small annular portion 6 of the cage 5 so as to face the outer diameter surface of the small collar of the inner ring 2. By setting the clearance δ between the inner diameter surface and the outer diameter surface of the small collar of the inner ring 2 to 2.0% or less of the outer diameter dimension of the small collar 2b of the inner ring 2, the cage 5 flows from the inner diameter side to the inner ring side. The amount of lubricating oil to be reduced can be reduced, and torque loss due to the flow resistance of the lubricating oil can be further reduced.

少なくとも前記円すいころ４の表面に、微小凹形形状のくぼみをランダムに無数に設け、このくぼみを設けた表面の面粗さパラメータＲｙｎｉを０．４μｍ≦Ｒｙｎｉ≦１．０μｍとし、かつ、Ｓｋ値を−１．６以下とすることにより、円すいころの表面に満遍なく潤滑油を保持させて、軸受内部に滞留する潤滑油の量を減らしても、円すいころと内外輪との接触部を十分に潤滑することができる。   At least the surface of the tapered roller 4 is provided with an infinite number of minute concave recesses, and the surface roughness parameter Ryni of the surface provided with these recesses is 0.4 μm ≦ Ryni ≦ 1.0 μm, and the Sk value By setting the value to −1.6 or less, the contact between the tapered roller and the inner and outer rings can be sufficiently maintained even if the amount of lubricating oil staying inside the bearing is reduced by holding the lubricating oil evenly on the surface of the tapered roller. Can be lubricated.

In the figure, “Comparative Example 1” in the “Bearing” column is a typical conventional tapered roller bearing in which the cage and the outer ring are separated, and “Example 1” is a conventional tapered roller bearing of the present invention. On the other hand, a tapered roller bearing in which this interval on the roller PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), “Example 2” has this interval on the roller PCD less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), and a window angle. Is a tapered roller bearing of the present invention in a range of 55 ° to 80 °. The test was conducted under severe lubrication and overload conditions. As can be seen from the figure, “Example 1” has a lifetime that is at least twice that of “Comparative Example”. Furthermore, the bearing of “Example 2” has a life time of about 5 times or more that of “Example 1”. The dimensions of “Comparative Example 1”, “Example 1”, and “Example 2” are φ45 × φ81 × 16 (unit mm), and the number of rollers is 24 (“Comparative Example 1”) and 27 (“Implementation”). Example 1 ”,“ Example 2 ”), and the oil film parameter Λ = 0.2.

図１１および図１２に示す変形例は、エンジニアリング・プラスチックで一体成形した保持器５の柱部８の外径面に、外輪３の軌道面３ａ側に向けて凸状を成す突起部５ｂを形成したものである。その他は前述した保持器５と同じである。この突起部５ｂは図１１に示すように柱部８の横断方向の断面輪郭形状が円弧状を成している。この円弧状の曲率半径Ｒ2は外輪３の軌道面３ａの半径Ｒ1より小さく形成されている。これは突起部５ｂと外輪３の軌道面３ａとの間に良好な楔状油膜が形成されるようにするためであり、望ましくは突起部５ｂの曲率半径Ｒ2は外輪３の軌道面３ａの半径Ｒ1の７０〜９０％程度に形成するとよい。７０％未満であると楔状油膜の入口開き角度が大きくなりすぎて却って動圧が低下する。９０％を超えると楔状油膜の入口角度が小さくなりすぎて同様に動圧が低下する。また、突起部５ｂの横幅Ｗ2は望ましくは柱部８の横幅Ｗ1の５０％以上となるように形成する（Ｗ2≧０．５×Ｗ）。５０％未満では良好な楔状油膜を形成するための充分な突起部５ｂの高さが確保できなくなるためである。なお、外輪３の軌道面３ａの半径Ｒ1は大径側から小径側へと連続的に変化しているので、突起部５ｂの曲率半径Ｒ2もそれに合わせて大環状部７の大きな曲率半径Ｒ2から小環状部６の小さな曲率半径Ｒ2へと連続的に変化するようにする。 In the modification shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, a protruding portion 5 b that is convex toward the raceway surface 3 a side of the outer ring 3 is formed on the outer diameter surface of the column portion 8 of the cage 5 that is integrally formed of engineering plastic. It is a thing. The rest is the same as the cage 5 described above. As shown in FIG. 11, the protruding portion 5b has a cross-sectional contour shape in the transverse direction of the column portion 8 forming an arc shape. This arc-shaped curvature radius R 2 is formed smaller than the radius R 1 of the raceway surface 3 a of the outer ring 3. This is so that good wedge oil film is formed between the raceway surface 3a of the protrusion 5b and the outer ring 3, preferably the radius of curvature R 2 of the projecting portion 5b is the radius of the raceway surface 3a of the outer ring 3 it may be formed in about 70% to 90% of R 1. If it is less than 70%, the opening angle of the wedge-shaped oil film becomes too large, and the dynamic pressure decreases. If it exceeds 90%, the inlet angle of the wedge-shaped oil film becomes too small, and the dynamic pressure similarly decreases. Further, the lateral width W 2 of the protruding portion 5b is desirably formed to be 50% or more of the lateral width W 1 of the column portion 8 (W 2 ≧ 0.5 × W). This is because if it is less than 50%, it is impossible to ensure a sufficient height of the protrusion 5b for forming a good wedge-shaped oil film. Since the radius R 1 of the raceway surface 3a of the outer ring 3 continuously changes from the large diameter side to the small diameter side, the curvature radius R 2 of the projection portion 5b is correspondingly increased. It continuously changes from R 2 to a small radius of curvature R 2 of the small annular portion 6.

図１１および図１２の円すいころ軸受１は以上のように構成されているため、軸受１が回転して保持器５が回転し始めると、外輪軌道面と保持器５の突起部５ｂとの間に楔状油膜が形成される。この楔状油膜は軸受１の回転速度にほぼ比例した動圧を発生するので、保持器５のピッチ径（ＰＣＤ）を従来よりも大きくして外輪３の軌道面３ａに近接させても、軸受１を大きな摩耗ないしトルク損失を生じることなく回転させることが可能となり、無理なくころ本数を増加させることが可能となる。   Since the tapered roller bearing 1 of FIGS. 11 and 12 is configured as described above, when the bearing 1 rotates and the cage 5 begins to rotate, the space between the outer ring raceway surface and the protrusion 5b of the cage 5 is increased. A wedge-shaped oil film is formed. Since this wedge-shaped oil film generates a dynamic pressure substantially proportional to the rotational speed of the bearing 1, the bearing 1 can be used even if the pitch diameter (PCD) of the cage 5 is made larger than that of the conventional and close to the raceway surface 3 a of the outer ring 3. Can be rotated without causing great wear or torque loss, and the number of rollers can be increased without difficulty.

図１３は、上述の円すいころ軸受を使用し得る自動車のトランスミッションの一構成例を示している。このトランスミッションは同期噛合式のもので、同図で左方向がエンジン側、右方向が駆動車輪側である。メインシャフト４１とメインドライブギヤ４２との間に円すいころ軸受４３が介装される。この例では、メインドライブギヤ４２の内周に円すいころ軸受４３の外輪軌道面が直接形成されている。メインドライブギヤ４２は、円すいころ軸受４４でケーシング４５に対して回転自在に支持される。メインドライブギヤ４２にクラッチギヤ４６が係合連結され、クラッチギヤ４６に近接してシンクロ機構４７が配設される。   FIG. 13 shows a configuration example of an automobile transmission that can use the tapered roller bearing described above. This transmission is of a synchronous mesh type, and in the figure the left direction is the engine side and the right direction is the drive wheel side. A tapered roller bearing 43 is interposed between the main shaft 41 and the main drive gear 42. In this example, the outer ring raceway surface of the tapered roller bearing 43 is directly formed on the inner periphery of the main drive gear 42. The main drive gear 42 is rotatably supported with respect to the casing 45 by a tapered roller bearing 44. A clutch gear 46 is engaged and connected to the main drive gear 42, and a synchronization mechanism 47 is disposed in the vicinity of the clutch gear 46.

シンクロ機構４７は、セレクタ（図示省略）の作動によって軸方向（同図で左右方向）に移動するスリーブ４８と、スリーブ４８の内周に軸方向移動自在に装着されたシンクロナイザーキー４９と、メインシャフト４１の外周に係合連結されたハブ５０と、クラッチギヤ４６の外周（コーン部）に摺動自在に装着されたシンクロナイザーリング５１と、シンクロナイザーキー４９をスリーブ４８の内周に弾性的に押圧する押さえピン５２及びスプリング５３とを備えている。   The synchronizer 47 includes a sleeve 48 that moves in the axial direction (left and right in the figure) by the operation of a selector (not shown), a synchronizer key 49 that is mounted on the inner periphery of the sleeve 48 so as to be axially movable, A hub 50 engaged and connected to the outer periphery of the shaft 41, a synchronizer ring 51 slidably mounted on the outer periphery (cone portion) of the clutch gear 46, and a synchronizer key 49 are elastically attached to the inner periphery of the sleeve 48. A pressing pin 52 and a spring 53 are provided.

同図に示す状態では、スリーブ４８及びシンクロナイザーキー４９が押さえピン５２によって中立位置に保持されている。この時、メインドライブギヤ４２はメインシャフト４１に対して空転する。一方、セレクタの作動により、スリーブ４８が同図に示す状態から例えば軸方向左側に移動すると、スリーブ４８に従動してシンクロナイザーキー４９が軸方向左側に移動し、シンクロナイザーリング５１をクラッチギヤ４６のコーン部の傾斜面に押し付ける。これにより、クラッチギヤ４６の回転速度が落ち、逆にシンクロ機構４７側の回転速度が高められる。そして、両者の回転速度が同期した頃、スリーブ４８がさらに軸方向左側に移動して、クラッチギヤ４６と噛み合い、メインシャフト４１とメインドライブギヤ４２との間がシンクロ機構４７を介して連結される。これにより、メインシャフト４１とメインドライブギヤ４２とが同期回転する。   In the state shown in the figure, the sleeve 48 and the synchronizer key 49 are held in the neutral position by the pressing pin 52. At this time, the main drive gear 42 idles with respect to the main shaft 41. On the other hand, when the sleeve 48 is moved to the left side in the axial direction, for example, by the operation of the selector, the synchronizer key 49 is moved to the left side in the axial direction following the sleeve 48, and the synchronizer ring 51 is moved to the clutch gear 46. Press against the inclined surface of the cone. As a result, the rotational speed of the clutch gear 46 decreases, and conversely, the rotational speed on the synchro mechanism 47 side is increased. When the rotational speeds of the two are synchronized, the sleeve 48 further moves to the left in the axial direction, meshes with the clutch gear 46, and the main shaft 41 and the main drive gear 42 are connected via the sync mechanism 47. . Thereby, the main shaft 41 and the main drive gear 42 rotate synchronously.

なお、本発明において、ころＰＣＤ上におけるこの間隔を（ころ径／ころ本数）未満であれば、ころ径やころ本数は、各実施形態のものに限らず、種々変更できる。また、本発明に係る円すいころ軸受は、前記したように自動車のトランスミッションに組み込むほか、自動車のデファレンシャルに使用できが、さらには、自動車用歯車装置以外の用途に使用することも可能である。   In the present invention, as long as this distance on the roller PCD is less than (roller diameter / number of rollers), the roller diameter and the number of rollers are not limited to those of each embodiment, and can be variously changed. Further, the tapered roller bearing according to the present invention can be used for an automobile differential as well as being incorporated in an automobile transmission as described above, and can also be used for applications other than an automobile gear device.

実施例として、図２に示した保持器を用いた円すいころ軸受（実施例Ａ）と、図３に示した保持器を用いた円すいころ軸受（実施例Ｂ）を用意した。また、比較例として、ポケットに切欠きのない保持器を用いた円すいころ軸受（比較例Ａ）と、図１６（Ａ）、（Ｂ）に示した保持器を用いた円すいころ軸受（比較例Ｂ、Ｃ）を用意した。なお、各円すいころ軸受は、寸法が外径１００ｍｍ、内径４５ｍｍ、幅２７．２５ｍｍであり、ポケットの切欠き以外の部分は同じである。   As examples, a tapered roller bearing (Example A) using the cage shown in FIG. 2 and a tapered roller bearing (Example B) using the cage shown in FIG. 3 were prepared. Further, as comparative examples, a tapered roller bearing using a cage not having a notch in the pocket (Comparative Example A) and a tapered roller bearing using a cage shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B (Comparative Example) B, C) were prepared. Each tapered roller bearing has an outer diameter of 100 mm, an inner diameter of 45 mm, and a width of 27.25 mm, and the portions other than the pocket notch are the same.

実施例と比較例の円すいころ軸受について、縦型トルク試験機を用いたトルク測定試験を行った。試験条件は以下のとおりである。
アキシアル荷重：３００ｋｇｆ
回転速度：３００〜２０００ｒｐｍ（１００ｒｐｍピッチ）
潤滑条件：油浴潤滑（潤滑油：７５Ｗ−９０） About the tapered roller bearing of an Example and a comparative example, the torque measurement test using the vertical torque tester was done. The test conditions are as follows.
Axial load: 300kgf
Rotational speed: 300-2000 rpm (100 rpm pitch)
Lubrication condition: oil bath lubrication (lubricating oil: 75W-90)

図１５に試験結果を示す。同図のグラフの縦軸は、ポケットに切欠きのない保持器を用いた比較例Ａのトルクに対するトルク低減率を表す。ポケットの柱部中央部に切欠きを設けた比較例Ｂや、ポケットの小環状部と大環状部に切欠きを設けた比較例Ｃも、トルク低減効果が認められるが、ポケットの狭幅部側の柱部に切欠きを設けた実施例Ａは、これらの比較例よりも優れたトルク低減効果が認められ、狭幅側の小環状部にも切欠きを設け、狭幅側の切欠きの合計面積を広幅側のそれよりも広くした実施例Ｂは、さらに優れたトルク低減効果が認められる。   FIG. 15 shows the test results. The vertical axis of the graph in the figure represents the torque reduction rate with respect to the torque of Comparative Example A using a cage not having a notch in the pocket. Although the comparative example B in which a notch is provided in the central portion of the pocket portion and the comparative example C in which a notch is provided in the small annular portion and the large annular portion of the pocket have a torque reducing effect, the narrow width portion of the pocket Example A, in which a notch is provided in the column on the side, shows a torque reduction effect superior to those of these comparative examples, and a notch on the narrow side is provided with a notch in the small annular portion on the narrow side. In Example B in which the total area of each of these is wider than that on the wide side, a further excellent torque reduction effect is recognized.

また、試験の最高回転速度である２０００ｒｐｍにおけるトルク低減率は、実施例Ａが９．５％、実施例Ｂが１１．５％であり、デファレンシャルやトランスミッション等における高速回転での使用条件でも優れたトルク低減効果を得ることができる。なお、比較例Ｂと比較例Ｃの回転速度２０００ｒｐｍにおけるトルク低減率は、それぞれ８．０％と６．５％である。   In addition, the torque reduction rate at 2000 rpm, which is the highest rotation speed of the test, was 9.5% in Example A and 11.5% in Example B, which was excellent even under high-speed rotation conditions such as in differentials and transmissions. A torque reduction effect can be obtained. In addition, the torque reduction rate in the rotational speed 2000rpm of the comparative example B and the comparative example C is 8.0% and 6.5%, respectively.
