The present invention relates to a wheel bearing device provided.

従来から自動車等の車輪を支持する車輪用軸受装置は、車輪を取り付けるためのハブ輪を複列の転がり軸受を介して回転自在に支承するもので、駆動輪用と従動輪用とがある。構造上の理由から、駆動輪用では内輪回転方式が、従動輪用では内輪回転と外方部材回転の両方式が一般的に採用されている。この車輪用軸受装置には、懸架装置を構成するナックルとハブ輪との間に複列アンギュラ玉軸受等からなる車輪用軸受を嵌合させた第1世代と称される構造から、外方部材の外周に直接車体取付フランジまたは車輪取付フランジが形成された第2世代構造、また、ハブ輪の外周に一方の内側転走面が直接形成された第3世代構造、あるいは、ハブ輪と等速自在継手の外側継手部材の外周にそれぞれ内側転走面が直接形成された第4世代構造とに大別されている。   2.

For structural reasons, an inner ring rotation method is generally used for driving wheels, and both an inner ring rotation method and an outer member rotation method are generally used for driven wheels. This wheel bearing device has a structure called a first generation in which a wheel bearing composed of a double-row angular ball bearing or the like is fitted between a knuckle and a hub wheel constituting a suspension device, and is an outer member. 2nd generation structure with body mounting flange or wheel mounting flange formed directly on the outer periphery of the wheel, 3rd generation structure with one inner rolling surface formed directly on the outer periphery of the hub wheel, or constant speed with the hub wheel It is roughly classified into a fourth generation structure in which the inner rolling surface is directly formed on the outer periphery of the outer joint member of the universal joint.

従来から、内輪および外輪(外方部材)が鋼板からプレス加工によって形成された構造のアンギュラ玉軸受が知られている。例えば、図6に示すアンギュラ玉軸受50は、磁気ハードディスク装置等に使用されるものであるが、外輪51および一対の内輪52、53は、ステンレス鋼板からプレス加工またはローリング加工によって形成されている。   Conventionally, an angular ball bearing having a structure in which an inner ring and an outer ring (outer member) are formed by pressing from a steel plate is known. For example, the angular ball bearing 50 shown in FIG. 6 is used in a magnetic hard disk drive or the like, but the outer ring 51 and the pair of inner rings 52 and 53 are formed from a stainless steel plate by pressing or rolling.

外輪51は、内周面の略中間部に径方向内方に突出する環状凸部51aが形成され、この環状凸部51aの両側の内周面に外側転走面51b、51cが形成されている。この外輪51は、外周面がハウジング54の穴に嵌合され、一端部に形成されたフランジ51dがハウジング54の端面に当接されて、軸方向の位置決めが行われている。また、環状凸部51aにより、外輪51の外周面には環状凹部51eが形成され、この環状凹部51eに接着剤が充填されてハウジング54の穴に外輪51が固定されている。   The outer ring 51 is formed with an annular convex portion 51a protruding radially inward at a substantially middle portion of the inner peripheral surface, and outer rolling surfaces 51b and 51c are formed on inner peripheral surfaces on both sides of the annular convex portion 51a. Yes. The outer ring 51 has an outer peripheral surface fitted into a hole in the housing 54, and a flange 51 d formed at one end is brought into contact with the end surface of the housing 54 to perform axial positioning. An annular recess 51e is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the outer ring 51 by the annular protrusion 51a. The annular recess 51e is filled with an adhesive, and the outer ring 51 is fixed to the hole of the housing 54.

一方、内輪52、53は、外輪51の複列の外側転走面51b、51cの内側に軸方向の両側からそれぞれ嵌合される。これら内輪52、53の軸方向外端外周には、湾曲肩部52a、53aが形成され、この湾曲肩部52a、53aに内側転走面52b、53bが形成されている。そして、複列のボール56、56がこれらの内側転走面52b、53bと外輪51の複列の外側転走面51b、51cとの間に配置され、保持器57、57により各列毎に保持されている。   On the other hand, the inner rings 52 and 53 are respectively fitted inside the double row outer raceway surfaces 51b and 51c of the outer ring 51 from both sides in the axial direction. Curved shoulder portions 52a and 53a are formed on the outer circumferences of the outer ends in the axial direction of the inner rings 52 and 53, and inner rolling surfaces 52b and 53b are formed on the curved shoulder portions 52a and 53a. The double rows of balls 56, 56 are arranged between the inner rolling surfaces 52b, 53b and the outer rolling surfaces 51b, 51c of the outer ring 51, and are retained by the cages 57, 57 for each row. Is retained.

内輪52、53の内周面には、軸部材55に隙間嵌めされる嵌合部52c、53cが形成されている。内輪52、53が軸部材55に軸方向から隙間嵌めされた後、一方の内輪52の湾曲肩部52aに重量が一定の円筒形の重錘59が乗せられ、この重錘59の重量により、内輪52、ボール56、外輪51、ボール56を経由して他方の内輪53が押圧され、湾曲肩部53aが軸部材55の鍔部55aに当接するまで嵌合される。これにより、アンギュラ玉軸受50に適正な予圧が設定される。   On the inner peripheral surfaces of the inner rings 52 and 53, fitting portions 52c and 53c that are fitted into the shaft member 55 with clearance are formed. After the inner rings 52, 53 are fitted into the shaft member 55 in the axial direction, a cylindrical weight 59 having a constant weight is placed on the curved shoulder 52 a of one inner ring 52, and the weight of the weight 59 The other inner ring 53 is pressed via the inner ring 52, the ball 56, the outer ring 51, and the ball 56, and the curved shoulder portion 53 a is fitted until it comes into contact with the flange portion 55 a of the shaft member 55. Thereby, an appropriate preload is set for the angular ball bearing 50.

この隙間嵌めが完了すると、一方の内輪52の湾曲肩部52aと軸部材55との間の隙間に接着剤60が充填され、この接着剤60で一方の内輪52の嵌め外れが防止されると共に、軸部材55の鍔部55aで他方の内輪53の嵌め外れが防止される。

この種のプレス製のアンギュラ玉軸受を車輪用軸受として使用する場合、車両の軸重や旋回時等に負荷されるラジアル荷重やモーメント荷重によって、ボール56のサイズやボール56のPCD(ピッチ円直径)等が設定され、最適な形状が決定される。然しながら、外輪51あるいは内輪52、53は、鋼板からプレス加工またはローリング加工によって形成されるため略均等肉厚になるが、その形状によっては肉厚が薄くなる部位が生じることがある。   When this type of angular contact ball bearing made of a press is used as a wheel bearing, the size of the ball 56 or the PCD (pitch circle diameter) of the ball 56 depends on the radial load or moment load applied during vehicle axle load or turning. ) Etc. are set, and the optimum shape is determined. However, since the outer ring 51 or the inner rings 52 and 53 are formed from a steel plate by pressing or rolling, the thickness is substantially uniform. However, depending on the shape of the outer ring 51 or the inner rings 52 and 53, there may be a portion where the thickness is reduced.

特に、外輪51において、モーメント負荷時、ボール56の接触楕円が乗り上げて外側転走面51bから外れる、所謂肩乗り上げが発生し、肩部Aにエッジロードが発生する恐れがあるため、外輪51のローリング加工時、外輪51の中央部を凹ませて肩部Aに素材を充足させると共に、外側転走面51bの溝底から環状凸部51aまでの肩高さを適切な高さに確保するようにしているが、この場合、外径から環状凹部51eへの繋ぎ部Bの曲率半径Rの大きさ如何によっては肉厚が薄くなるだけでなく、肩部Aに亀裂が発生する恐れがあった。これにより、外輪51の剛性が低下して耐久性が損なわれることがあった。ここで、エッジロードとは、角部等に発生する過大な応力集中のことで、早期剥離の要因の一つとなる事象を言う。   In particular, in the outer ring 51, when a moment load is applied, the contact ellipse of the ball 56 rides up and comes off the outer rolling surface 51 b, so-called shoulder riding occurs, and edge load may occur in the shoulder A. At the time of rolling processing, the center portion of the outer ring 51 is recessed to fill the shoulder portion A with material, and the shoulder height from the groove bottom of the outer rolling surface 51b to the annular convex portion 51a is ensured to an appropriate height. However, in this case, depending on the size of the radius of curvature R of the joint B from the outer diameter to the annular recess 51e, not only the wall thickness is reduced, but there is a possibility that the shoulder A may crack. . As a result, the rigidity of the outer ring 51 may be reduced and durability may be impaired. Here, the edge load is an excessive stress concentration generated at a corner or the like, and refers to an event that becomes one of the factors of early peeling.

また、この種のアンギュラ玉軸受50の組立は、予め保持器57にボール56を装着すると共に、このボールカセットを外輪51の複列の外側転走面51aに嵌挿し、最後に内輪52、53を外輪51の両側から嵌挿して行われるが、この時、外輪51および内輪52、53にカウンタ部が形成されていないため、組立工程で一旦組まれたボールカセットや内輪52、53が外輪51から脱落し、再組立等により組立工数が嵩むと共に、組立工程が煩雑になる恐れがあった。   In addition, in assembling this type of angular ball bearing 50, a ball 56 is mounted on the retainer 57 in advance, and this ball cassette is inserted into the double row outer raceway 51a of the outer ring 51, and finally the inner rings 52, 53 are inserted. Is inserted from both sides of the outer ring 51. At this time, since the counter part is not formed on the outer ring 51 and the inner rings 52, 53, the ball cassette and the inner rings 52, 53 once assembled in the assembly process are used. As a result, the assembly man-hours increase due to reassembly and the like, and the assembly process may become complicated.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、軸受の耐久性の向上を図ると共に、組立の簡略化を図った車輪用軸受およびこれを備えた車輪用軸受装置を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is intended to provide a wheel bearing and a wheel bearing device including the wheel bearing that are intended to improve the durability of the bearing and simplify the assembly.

A constant velocity universal joint 3 is fitted into the hub wheel 1 so as to be able to transmit torque, and the hub wheel 1 and the constant velocity universal joint 3 are detachably integrated via a fixing nut 4.

ハブ輪1は、アウター側の一端部に車輪(図示せず)を取り付けるための車輪取付フランジ5を一体に有し、外周にこの車輪取付フランジ5から肩部1aを介して軸方向に延びる円筒状の小径段部1bが形成され、内周にトルク伝達用のセレーション(またはスプライン)1cが形成されている。このハブ輪1はS53C等の炭素0.40〜0.80wt%を含む中高炭素鋼で形成され、鍛造加工後の生のままである。なお、曲げ強度に対する疲労強度増加のために鍛造後に調質処理を行っても良いし、肩部1aから小径段部1bに亙って高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理をしても良い。   The hub wheel 1 integrally has a wheel mounting flange 5 for mounting a wheel (not shown) at one end portion on the outer side, and a cylinder extending in the axial direction from the wheel mounting flange 5 to the outer periphery via a shoulder portion 1a. A small diameter step portion 1b is formed, and a serration (or spline) 1c for torque transmission is formed on the inner periphery. The hub wheel 1 is made of medium and high carbon steel containing 0.40 to 0.80 wt% of carbon such as S53C, and remains as it is after forging. In addition, in order to increase the fatigue strength with respect to the bending strength, the tempering treatment may be performed after forging, or the surface hardness is set in the range of 58 to 64 HRC by induction hardening from the shoulder portion 1a to the small diameter step portion 1b. You may do it.

車輪用軸受2はナックル6に内嵌され、図2に拡大して示すように、内周に複列の円弧状の外側転走面7a、7aが形成された外方部材(外輪)7と、外周にこれら複列の外側転走面7a、7aに対向する円弧状の内側転走面8a、8aが形成された一対の内輪8、8と、両転走面間に保持器9、9を介して転動自在に収容された複列のボール10、10と、外方部材7の両端部に装着されたシール11とを備えている。保持器9は、PA(ポリアミド)66等の合成樹脂から射出成形によって形成され、凹球面のポケット9aにボール10を保持する、所謂スナップオンタイプで構成され、ボール10が径方向に脱落するのを防止している。そして、内輪8、8の小径側(正面側)の端面8b、8bを突合せ状態で衝合し、所謂背面合せタイプの複列のアンギュラ玉軸受を構成している。   The wheel bearing 2 is fitted into a knuckle 6, and as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, an outer member (outer ring) 7 in which double-row arc-shaped outer rolling surfaces 7a and 7a are formed on the inner periphery. A pair of inner rings 8 and 8 having arcuate inner rolling surfaces 8a and 8a formed on the outer periphery and facing these double-row outer rolling surfaces 7a and 7a, and cages 9 and 9 between both rolling surfaces. And the double-row balls 10 and 10 accommodated so as to be freely rollable via each other, and the seals 11 attached to both ends of the outer member 7. The cage 9 is formed of a synthetic resin such as PA (polyamide) 66 by injection molding, and is configured as a so-called snap-on type that holds the ball 10 in the concave spherical pocket 9a, and the ball 10 falls off in the radial direction. Is preventing. The end faces 8b, 8b on the small diameter side (front side) of the inner rings 8, 8 are abutted in a butted state to constitute a so-called back-to-back type double row angular ball bearing.

シール11は、外方部材7の両端部に形成された円筒部13に嵌合される芯金11aと、この芯金11aに加硫接着等により一体に接合され、ニトリルゴム等のエラストマーからなるシール部材11bとからなり、一対のラジアルリップを備えている。そして、軸受内部に封入されたグリースの漏洩と、外部から雨水やダスト等の異物が軸受内部に侵入するのを防止している。なお、シール11は、例示した一体型のシールに限らず、図示しないが、外方部材7の円筒部13と内輪8の外径にそれぞれ装着され、互いに対向配置された環状のシール板とスリンガとからなる、所謂パックシールであっても良い。   The seal 11 is formed of an elastomer such as nitrile rubber, which is integrally joined to the metal core 11a by vulcanization adhesion or the like, and a metal core 11a fitted to the cylindrical portion 13 formed at both ends of the outer member 7. It consists of a seal member 11b and has a pair of radial lips. In addition, leakage of grease sealed in the bearing and foreign matter such as rainwater and dust from the outside are prevented from entering the bearing. The seal 11 is not limited to the illustrated integrated seal, but although not shown, an annular seal plate and a slinger mounted on the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 13 of the outer member 7 and the outer ring 8 and arranged opposite to each other. A so-called pack seal may be used.

等速自在継手3は、図1に示すように、外側継手部材15と、継手内輪16とケージ17およびトルク伝達ボール18とを備えている。外側継手部材15は、カップ状のマウス部19と、このマウス部19の底部となる肩部20と、この肩部20から軸方向に延びる軸部21を一体に有している。軸部21の外周にはハブ輪1のセレーション1cに係合するセレーション21aと、このセレーション21aの端部に雄ねじ21bが形成されている。そして、肩部20が内輪8の大端面と衝合するまでハブ輪1に外側継手部材15がセレーション1c、21aを介して内嵌され、一対の内輪8、8がハブ輪1の肩部1aと外側継手部材15の肩部20に挟持された状態でハブ輪1の小径段部1bに所定のシメシロを介して圧入されている。さらに、雄ねじ21bに固定ナット4を所定の締付トルクで緊締することにより所定の軸受予圧が付与されている。これにより、軸受剛性が高くなると共に、軸受の転がり疲労寿命が向上する。   As shown in FIG. 1, the constant velocity universal joint 3 includes an outer joint member 15, a joint inner ring 16, a cage 17, and a torque transmission ball 18. The outer joint member 15 integrally includes a cup-shaped mouth portion 19, a shoulder portion 20 that is a bottom portion of the mouth portion 19, and a shaft portion 21 that extends from the shoulder portion 20 in the axial direction. A serration 21a that engages with the serration 1c of the hub wheel 1 is formed on the outer periphery of the shaft portion 21, and a male screw 21b is formed at the end of the serration 21a. The outer joint member 15 is fitted into the hub wheel 1 via the serrations 1c and 21a until the shoulder 20 abuts the large end surface of the inner ring 8, and the pair of inner rings 8 and 8 is the shoulder 1a of the hub ring 1. The outer joint member 15 is press-fitted into the small-diameter step portion 1b of the hub wheel 1 through a predetermined squeeze while being sandwiched between the shoulder portions 20 of the outer joint member 15. Further, a predetermined bearing preload is applied to the male screw 21b by tightening the fixing nut 4 with a predetermined tightening torque. As a result, the bearing rigidity is increased and the rolling fatigue life of the bearing is improved.

ここで、外方部材7および内輪8は、SUJ2等の軸受鋼やSCr420やSCM415等の浸炭鋼からなるパイプ材をプレス加工または冷間のローリング加工(以下、塑性加工という)によって形成されている。そして、SUJ2はズブ焼や高周波焼入れ、浸炭鋼は浸炭焼入れによって表面硬さを50〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。外方部材7および内輪8の材質としてこれ以外にも、SCM440等の浸炭鋼、あるいは冷間圧延鋼鈑(JIS規格のSPCC系等)やS45C等の炭素鋼を例示することができる。   Here, the outer member 7 and the inner ring 8 are formed by pressing or cold rolling (hereinafter referred to as plastic working) a pipe material made of bearing steel such as SUJ2 or carburized steel such as SCr420 or SCM415. . Then, SUJ2 is hardened to a surface hardness of 50 to 64 HRC by submerged or induction hardening, and carburized steel is carburized and quenched. Other examples of the material of the outer member 7 and the inner ring 8 include carburized steel such as SCM440, cold rolled steel (JIS standard SPCC system, etc.), and carbon steel such as S45C.

一方、冷間圧延鋼鈑や炭素鋼の場合、少なくとも外方部材7においては複列の外側転走面7a、7aが、また、内輪8においては内側転走面8aが高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを50〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理が施され、転がり疲労寿命を向上させている。そして、これらの転走面7a、8aは、研削加工によって所定の寸法、精度に形成されている。なお、その後、必要に応じて超仕上げ加工が施される。   On the other hand, in the case of cold rolled steel or carbon steel, at least the outer member 7 has double row outer rolling surfaces 7a and 7a, and the inner ring 8 has inner rolling surface 8a having a surface hardness by induction hardening. Is hardened in the range of 50 to 64 HRC to improve the rolling fatigue life. These rolling surfaces 7a and 8a are formed with predetermined dimensions and accuracy by grinding. After that, superfinishing is performed as necessary.

次に、図3および図4を用いて、外方部材7および内輪8の構成について詳細に説明する。
外方部材7は、図3(a)に示すように、素材となるパイプ材から塑性加工により、内周に径方向内方に突出する環状凸部12と、この環状凸部12の両側に複列の円弧状の外側転走面7a、7aが形成されると共に、両端部にシール11の嵌合部となる円筒部13、13が形成される。そして、複列の外側転走面7a、7aをはじめ、この円筒部13は、塑性加工後に研削加工によって所定の寸法、精度に形成される。これにより、従来の軸受と同等の精度や密封性を確保することができる。なお、塑性加工でバリが発生する両端面は加工後に旋削加工される。また、必要に応じて研削加工が施される。
Next, the configuration of the outer member 7 and the inner ring 8 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
As shown in FIG. 3 (a), the outer member 7 includes an annular projection 12 projecting radially inward from the pipe material, which is a raw material, on both sides of the annular projection 12 by plastic working. Double-row arc-shaped outer rolling surfaces 7 a and 7 a are formed, and cylindrical portions 13 and 13 that are fitting portions of the seal 11 are formed at both ends. The cylindrical portion 13 including the double-row outer rolling surfaces 7a and 7a is formed with a predetermined size and accuracy by grinding after plastic working. Thereby, the precision and sealing performance equivalent to the conventional bearing can be ensured. Note that both end surfaces where burrs are generated by plastic working are turned after machining. Moreover, a grinding process is given as needed.

ここで、外側転走面7aから環状凸部12の肩高さを適切に確保するために、外方部材7の塑性加工時、環状凸部12の内径をフラット形状に形成すると共に、外方部材7の軸方向中央部を凹ませて環状凹部23を形成し肩部22に素材を充足させるようにしている。   Here, in order to appropriately secure the shoulder height of the annular convex portion 12 from the outer rolling surface 7a, the inner diameter of the annular convex portion 12 is formed in a flat shape during plastic processing of the outer member 7, and the outer side The central portion of the member 7 in the axial direction is recessed to form an annular recess 23 so that the shoulder 22 is filled with the material.

ここで、本実施形態では、外方部材7の外径7bと環状凹部23との繋ぎ部24の曲率半径Rが所定の範囲になるように設定されている。具体的には、ボール10の半径をRwとした時、この曲率半径Rは、R=1.5〜1.8Rwの範囲になるように設定されている。これにより、この部位の肉厚が略均等に形成できると共に、肩部22に亀裂が発生するのを防止し、かつ、旋回モーメント負荷時にボール10の接触楕円が肩部22を乗り上げてエッジロードが発生するのを防止することができる適切な肩高さを確保することができ、軸受の耐久性を向上させた車輪用軸受2を提供することができる。ここで、略均等とは、成形前のパイプ材の肉厚が均等であり、繋ぎ部24も円弧を形成する目的以外に特に塑性流動させることなく成形を行った結果得られた形状の肉厚の状態を意味し、繋ぎ部24の円弧を形成する際の材料の肉の変位により僅かに肉薄となったり肉厚となる状態は含むことを意味する。   Here, in this embodiment, the radius of curvature R of the connecting portion 24 between the outer diameter 7b of the outer member 7 and the annular recess 23 is set within a predetermined range. Specifically, when the radius of the ball 10 is Rw, the curvature radius R is set to be in a range of R = 1.5 to 1.8 Rw. As a result, the thickness of this portion can be formed substantially evenly, and cracks can be prevented from occurring in the shoulder portion 22, and the contact ellipse of the ball 10 rides on the shoulder portion 22 when a turning moment is applied, thereby causing edge loading. It is possible to provide a wheel bearing 2 that can secure an appropriate shoulder height that can be prevented from being generated, and improve the durability of the bearing. Here, “substantially equal” means that the thickness of the pipe material before molding is uniform, and the thickness of the shape obtained as a result of molding without any plastic flow other than the purpose of forming the arc portion of the connecting portion 24 as well. This means that a state where the thickness of the connecting portion 24 is slightly reduced or increased due to the displacement of the thickness of the material when forming the arc of the connecting portion 24 is included.

繋ぎ部24の曲率半径Rがボール10の半径Rwの1.5倍より小さい場合、肉厚が薄くなり剛性が低下して旋回モーメント負荷時の応力に耐えられず、また、ボール10の半径Rwの1.8倍を超えた場合、肉厚が厚くなり塑性加工の加工性が低下するだけでなく、従来の鍛造成形品と大差ない形状となって軽量・コンパクト化に総じて寄与しなくなるためである。   When the radius of curvature R of the connecting portion 24 is smaller than 1.5 times the radius Rw of the ball 10, the thickness is reduced and the rigidity is lowered, so that it cannot withstand the stress at the time of turning moment load. If it exceeds 1.8 times, not only will the wall thickness increase and the workability of plastic working will decrease, but the shape will not greatly differ from conventional forged products, and it will not contribute to light weight and compactness in general. is there.

さらに、(b)に拡大して示すように、外側転走面7aの肩部22に対向する部位にカウンタ部25が塑性加工によりこの外側転走面7aと同時に形成されている。このカウンタ部25の内径Dcは、溝底径Doよりも2δoだけ小径に設定されている(Dc=Do−2δo)。すなわち、ボールカセットが外方部材7から脱落しないように、ボールカセットにおけるボール10の外接円径Dbよりも小径に設定されている(Dc<Db)。ここで、ボール10の外接円径Dbは、保持器9のポケットに保持されるボール10がそのポケット内で径方向内方に挙動する移動量も加味されている。これにより、組立工程で一旦組み立てられたボールカセットが外方部材7から脱落するのを確実に防止して組立の簡略化を図ることができる。   Further, as shown in an enlarged view in (b), a counter portion 25 is formed simultaneously with the outer rolling surface 7a by plastic working at a portion facing the shoulder portion 22 of the outer rolling surface 7a. The inner diameter Dc of the counter portion 25 is set to be smaller by 2δo than the groove bottom diameter Do (Dc = Do−2δo). That is, the diameter is set smaller than the circumscribed circle diameter Db of the ball 10 in the ball cassette so that the ball cassette does not fall off from the outer member 7 (Dc <Db). Here, the circumscribed circle diameter Db of the ball 10 also takes into account the amount of movement of the ball 10 held in the pocket of the cage 9 so as to move radially inward within the pocket. Thereby, it is possible to reliably prevent the ball cassette once assembled in the assembling process from dropping from the outer member 7 and to simplify the assembling.

さらに、外方部材7のカウンタ部25を熱処理後に外側転走面7aと同時に総型砥石によって研削加工しても良い。これにより、熱処理による変形を除去してカウンタ部25の内径Dcを一層精度良く仕上げることができ、組立時にボール10が通過することによる擦過傷の発生を抑制し、品質的に信頼性の高い車輪用軸受2を提供することができる。   Furthermore, you may grind the counter part 25 of the outer member 7 with a total type grindstone simultaneously with the outer side rolling surface 7a after heat processing. As a result, deformation due to heat treatment can be eliminated and the inner diameter Dc of the counter portion 25 can be finished with higher accuracy, the occurrence of scratches caused by the passage of the ball 10 during assembly can be suppressed, and the quality of the wheel can be highly reliable. A bearing 2 can be provided.

一方、内輪8は、図4(a)に示すように、素材となるパイプ材から塑性加工により、外周に円弧状の内側転走面8aと、この内側転走面8aから軸方向に延びる肩部14が形成されている。ここで、この肩部14はシール11のシールランド部となり、塑性加工後に内側転走面8aと同時に研削加工され、所定の寸法、精度に形成されている。これにより、従来の軸受と同等の精度や密封性を確保することができる。なお、外方部材7と同様、塑性加工でバリが発生する両端面は加工後に旋削加工される。また、必要に応じて研削加工が施される。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the inner ring 8 has an arcuate inner raceway surface 8a on the outer periphery by a plastic working from a pipe material, and a shoulder extending in the axial direction from the inner raceway surface 8a. A portion 14 is formed. Here, the shoulder portion 14 becomes a seal land portion of the seal 11 and is ground at the same time as the inner rolling surface 8a after plastic working, and is formed with a predetermined size and accuracy. Thereby, the precision and sealing performance equivalent to the conventional bearing can be ensured. As with the outer member 7, both end surfaces where burrs are generated by plastic working are turned after machining. Moreover, a grinding process is given as needed.

また、(b)に拡大して示すように、内側転走面8aの肩部14に対向する部位にカウンタ部26が塑性加工によりこの内側転走面8aと同時に形成されている。このカウンタ部26の外径dcは、溝底径diよりも2δiだけ大径に設定されている(dc=di+2δi)。すなわち、内輪8が脱落しないように、ボールカセットにおけるボール10の内接円径dbよりも大径に設定されている(dc>db)。ここで、ボール10の内接円形dbは、保持器9のポケットに保持されるボール10がそのポケット内で径方向外方に挙動する移動量も加味されている。これにより、組立工程で一旦組み立てられた内輪8が軸方向に脱落するのを確実に防止して組立の簡略化を図ることができる。   Further, as shown in an enlarged view in (b), a counter portion 26 is formed simultaneously with the inner rolling surface 8a by plastic working at a portion facing the shoulder portion 14 of the inner rolling surface 8a. The outer diameter dc of the counter portion 26 is set to be larger by 2δi than the groove bottom diameter di (dc = di + 2δi). That is, the inner ring 8 is set to have a larger diameter than the inscribed circle diameter db of the ball 10 in the ball cassette (dc> db) so that the inner ring 8 does not fall off. Here, the inscribed circle db of the ball 10 also takes into account the amount of movement that the ball 10 held in the pocket of the cage 9 behaves radially outward in the pocket. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent the inner ring 8 once assembled in the assembly process from dropping off in the axial direction, thereby simplifying the assembly.

さらに、外方部材7と同様、カウンタ部26を熱処理後に内側転走面8aと同時に総型砥石によって研削加工しても良い。これにより、熱処理による変形を除去してカウンタ部26の外径dcを一層精度良く仕上げることができ、組立時にボール10が通過することによる擦過傷の発生を抑制し、信頼性を向上させることができる。   Furthermore, as with the outer member 7, the counter portion 26 may be ground with a total-type grindstone simultaneously with the inner rolling surface 8a after the heat treatment. As a result, the deformation due to the heat treatment can be removed and the outer diameter dc of the counter portion 26 can be finished with higher accuracy, the occurrence of scratches caused by the passage of the ball 10 during assembly can be suppressed, and the reliability can be improved. .

なお、ここでは、ナックル6やハブ輪1の嵌合面となる外方部材7の外径7bおよび内輪8の内径8c、さらには突合せ面となる内輪8の小径側端面8bを研削加工によって形成しても良い。これにより、従来の鍛造、削り出しの軸受と同等の軸受精度を確保することができる。   Here, the outer diameter 7b of the outer member 7 that becomes the fitting surface of the knuckle 6 and the hub wheel 1, the inner diameter 8c of the inner ring 8, and the small-diameter side end surface 8b of the inner ring 8 that becomes the butting surface are formed by grinding. You may do it. Thereby, the bearing accuracy equivalent to the conventional forged and machined bearing can be ensured.

図5は、本発明に係る車輪用軸受の第2の実施形態を示す縦断面図である。この実施形態は前述した実施形態と基本的には内輪とシールの構成が異なるだけで、その他同一部品、同一部位あるいは同一の機能を有する部品、部位には同じ符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。   FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a second embodiment of the wheel bearing according to the present invention. This embodiment basically differs from the above-described embodiment only in the configuration of the inner ring and the seal, and other detailed description is given with the same reference numerals for the same parts, parts or parts having the same function. Omitted.

車輪用軸受27は、内周に複列の円弧状の外側転走面7a、7aが形成された外方部材7と、外周にこれら複列の外側転走面7a、7aに対向する円弧状の内側転走面8a、8aが形成された一対の内輪28、28と、両転走面間に保持器9、9を介して転動自在に収容された複列のボール10、10と、外方部材7の両端部に装着されたシール29、29とを備えている。そして、内輪28、28の小径側の端面8b、8bを突合せ状態で衝合し、所謂背面合せタイプの複列のアンギュラ玉軸受を構成している。   The wheel bearing 27 includes an outer member 7 having double-row arc-shaped outer rolling surfaces 7a, 7a formed on the inner periphery, and an arc shape facing the double-row outer rolling surfaces 7a, 7a on the outer periphery. A pair of inner rings 28, 28 formed with inner rolling surfaces 8 a, 8 a, and double row balls 10, 10 accommodated so as to roll between the rolling surfaces via the cages 9, 9, Seals 29 and 29 are provided at both ends of the outer member 7. The end faces 8b, 8b on the small diameter side of the inner rings 28, 28 are abutted in a butted state to constitute a so-called back-to-back type double row angular ball bearing.

シール29は、外方部材7の円筒部13に嵌合される芯金30と、この芯金30に加硫接着等により一体に接合され、ニトリルゴム等のエラストマーからなるシール部材31とからなり、一対のサイドリップ31a、31bを備えている。これらサイドリップ31a、31bは、後述する内輪28の大径側の端面28aに弾性接触し、軸受内部に封入されたグリースの漏洩と、外部から雨水やダスト等の異物が軸受内部に侵入するのを防止すると共に、内輪28が軸方向に脱落するのを防止している。   The seal 29 includes a core metal 30 fitted to the cylindrical portion 13 of the outer member 7 and a seal member 31 integrally joined to the core metal 30 by vulcanization adhesion or the like and made of an elastomer such as nitrile rubber. And a pair of side lips 31a and 31b. These side lips 31a and 31b are in elastic contact with a large-diameter end surface 28a of the inner ring 28, which will be described later, and leakage of grease sealed inside the bearing and foreign matters such as rainwater and dust enter the bearing from the outside. And the inner ring 28 is prevented from falling off in the axial direction.

車輪用軸受27は、前述した実施形態と同様、図示はしないが、ハブ輪に所定のシメシロを介して圧入され、内輪28の大径側の端面28aが外側継手部材の肩部とハブ輪の肩部に当接して一対の内輪28、28が挟持された状態で所定の軸受予圧が付与されている。   Although not shown, the wheel bearing 27 is press-fitted into the hub wheel via a predetermined shimiro as in the above-described embodiment, and the end surface 28a on the large diameter side of the inner ring 28 is connected to the shoulder of the outer joint member and the hub ring. A predetermined bearing preload is applied in a state in which the pair of inner rings 28 and 28 are held in contact with the shoulder.

ここで、内輪28は、SUJ2等の軸受鋼やSCr420やSCM415等の浸炭鋼からなるパイプ材から塑性加工によって形成されている。そして、SUJ2はズブ焼や高周波焼入れ、浸炭鋼は浸炭焼入れによって表面硬さを50〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。   Here, the inner ring 28 is formed by plastic working from a pipe material made of bearing steel such as SUJ2 or carburized steel such as SCr420 or SCM415. Then, SUJ2 is hardened to a surface hardness of 50 to 64 HRC by submerged or induction hardening, and carburized steel is carburized and quenched.

内輪28は、外周に円弧状の内側転走面8aと、この内側転走面8aから径方向外方に延びる肩部32が形成されている。この肩部32の外径は、PCDよりも大径に形成され、軸受に大きなモーメント荷重が負荷されても肩乗り上げの発生を防止し、耐久性を向上させることができる。ここで、この肩部32の側面、すなわち、大径側の端面28aは、シール29のシールランド部となり、塑性加工後に研削加工されている。これにより、塑性加工で発生したバリを除去することができると共に、所定の寸法、精度および表面粗さが得られる。   The inner ring 28 is formed with an arc-shaped inner rolling surface 8a on the outer periphery and a shoulder 32 extending radially outward from the inner rolling surface 8a. The outer diameter of the shoulder portion 32 is formed to be larger than that of the PCD, and even if a large moment load is applied to the bearing, it is possible to prevent the shoulder ride-up and improve the durability. Here, the side surface of the shoulder portion 32, that is, the end surface 28 a on the large diameter side, becomes a seal land portion of the seal 29 and is ground after plastic working. Thereby, the burr | flash which generate | occur | produced by plastic working can be removed, and a predetermined | prescribed dimension, precision, and surface roughness are obtained.

また、内側転走面8aの肩部32に対向する部位にカウンタ部26が塑性加工によりこの内側転走面8aと同時に形成されている。これにより、シール29を装着する前の組立工程あるいは搬送中であっても内輪28が軸方向に脱落するのを確実に防止することができる。   Moreover, the counter part 26 is formed simultaneously with this inner side rolling surface 8a by the plastic working in the site | part which opposes the shoulder part 32 of the inner side rolling surface 8a. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably prevent the inner ring 28 from falling off in the axial direction even during the assembly process before the seal 29 is mounted or during conveyance.
