Description

この発明は、例えば、工作機械主軸等の支持に用いられる転がり軸受に関する。   The present invention relates to a rolling bearing used for supporting, for example, a machine tool spindle.

図16は、従来のノズル間座付きの転がり軸受の断面図である。この転がり軸受では、間座70に排気用切欠き71,71を設けて、軸受の潤滑に供された潤滑剤が排気用切欠き71,71から排出される。
転がり軸受において、外輪に外径部から内径部に連通する給油孔を設けて、この給油孔から給油する方式がある(特許文献1)。この方式では、軸受を背面組み合せで使用する場合に、エアオイル排気のための排気口(切欠き)を形成した間座を、軸受間に設ける必要がある。
FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of a conventional rolling bearing with a nozzle spacer. In this rolling bearing, exhaust notches 71, 71 are provided in the spacer 70, and the lubricant used for bearing lubrication is discharged from the exhaust notches 71, 71.
In a rolling bearing, there is a system in which an oil supply hole that communicates from an outer diameter portion to an inner diameter portion is provided in an outer ring, and oil is supplied from the oil supply hole (Patent Document 1). In this method, when the bearings are used in combination with the back surface, it is necessary to provide a spacer between the bearings in which an exhaust port (notch) for exhausting air oil is formed.

実開昭63−180726号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-180726

図17に示す外輪72に給油孔73を設けた軸受を、図18に示すように、背面組合せで間座無しで用いると、軸受間にエアオイル排出のための排気口が無いため、運転中に軸受内部で潤滑油の滞留や捲き込みを生じ、温度の不安定化や最悪の場合には過度の昇温に至る可能性がある。   When a bearing having an oil supply hole 73 in the outer ring 72 shown in FIG. 17 is used without a spacer in the rear combination as shown in FIG. 18, there is no exhaust port for discharging air oil between the bearings. There is a possibility that the lubricating oil stays or gets inside the bearing, resulting in temperature instability or, in the worst case, excessive temperature rise.

この発明の目的は、外輪に給油孔を設けた軸受を間座無しで組合わせて用いる場合に、軸受空間内に供給したエアオイルを、軸受外部にスムーズに排出することができる転がり軸受を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a rolling bearing capable of smoothly discharging the air oil supplied into the bearing space to the outside of the bearing when a bearing having an oil supply hole in the outer ring is used without a spacer. That is.

この発明の転がり軸受は、内輪および外輪の転走面間に転動体を介在させ、複数組み合わせて用いられる転がり軸受において、
前記外輪に、軸受空間内に貫通するエアオイル潤滑用の給油孔が設けられ、前記外輪の幅面のうち、隣りの転がり軸受と接する幅面となる、いずれか一方または両方に、軸受の軸方向内方に凹むエアオイル排気用の切欠き凹部が、内径面から外径面にわたって設けられ、かつ前記切欠き凹部が設けられる幅面として、前記転動体に対して前記給油孔が設けられた側方と反対側の側方の幅面を少なくとも含み、前記外輪の外径面に、前記給油孔に連通する円周溝が設けられたことを特徴とする。
The rolling bearing of the present invention is a rolling bearing used by combining a plurality of rolling elements between the rolling surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring,
The outer ring is provided with a lubrication hole for air oil lubrication penetrating into the bearing space, and one of or both of the width surfaces of the outer ring is in contact with the adjacent rolling bearing. A notch recess for exhausting air oil is provided from the inner diameter surface to the outer diameter surface, and the width surface on which the notch recess is provided is opposite to the side where the oil supply hole is provided on the rolling element. And a circumferential groove communicating with the oil supply hole is provided on the outer diameter surface of the outer ring.

この構成によると、エアオイルが、軸受外部から外輪の給油孔を通して軸受空間内に供給され、軸受の潤滑に供される。その後、エアオイルは外輪の切欠き用凹部からスムーズに排気される。このように軸受空間内に供給したエアオイルを、軸受空間内に滞留させることなく、軸受外部にスムーズに排出することができる。このため、運転中、軸受温度が不安定に変位したり過度に昇温することを未然に防止することができる。したがって、排気用の切欠きを設けた間座が不要となり、軸受同士を隣接して組合わせて用いることが可能となる。この場合、例えば、主軸前方に軸受を集中して配置できるため、従来のように間座を軸受間に設けた場合に比べて、主軸剛性が高くなるという利点がある。   According to this configuration, air oil is supplied from the outside of the bearing into the bearing space through the oil supply hole of the outer ring, and is used for lubricating the bearing. Thereafter, the air oil is smoothly exhausted from the notch recess of the outer ring. Thus, the air oil supplied into the bearing space can be smoothly discharged outside the bearing without staying in the bearing space. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the bearing temperature from being displaced in an unstable manner or excessively rising during operation. Therefore, a spacer provided with a notch for exhaust becomes unnecessary, and the bearings can be used in combination adjacent to each other. In this case, for example, since the bearings can be concentrated and arranged in front of the main shaft, there is an advantage that the main shaft rigidity is increased as compared with the conventional case where the spacer is provided between the bearings.

前記外輪の外径面における、前記円周溝の両側位置に、それぞれ環状溝が設けられ、各環状溝にそれぞれ環状のシール部材が設けられていても良い。これら環状のシール部材により、外輪の外径面からエアオイルが不所望に漏れることを防止することができる。   An annular groove may be provided on both sides of the circumferential groove on the outer diameter surface of the outer ring, and an annular seal member may be provided in each annular groove. These annular seal members can prevent air oil from undesirably leaking from the outer diameter surface of the outer ring.

複数の転がり軸受の組合せ状態で、各軸受の切欠き凹部の円周方向の位相が同位相に配置されていても良い。この場合、切欠き凹部の排出面積つまり断面積を大きく確保することができる。これにより、各軸受において潤滑に供されたエアオイルは、隣接する軸受の軸受空間内に殆んど移動することなく切欠き凹部から速やかに排出される。このようにエアオイルについて効果的な排気および排油流れを実現することができる。したがって、軸受温度の不安定な変位を確実に解消することができる。   In the combined state of a plurality of rolling bearings, the circumferential phase of the notch recesses of each bearing may be arranged in the same phase. In this case, a large discharge area, that is, a cross-sectional area of the notch recess can be secured. As a result, the air oil used for lubrication in each bearing is quickly discharged from the notched recess without almost moving into the bearing space of the adjacent bearing. In this way, an effective exhaust and drainage flow can be realized for the air oil. Therefore, the unstable displacement of the bearing temperature can be reliably eliminated.

前記外輪の内径面が、転走面側から幅面側に向かうに従って径寸法が大きくなるように傾斜する断面形状に形成されていても良い。軸受運転中、軸受空間内で潤滑に供されたエアオイルは、内輪回転による遠心力、この遠心力に伴う排気および排油流れにより、内輪側から外輪側に向かう。エアオイルの一部は、外輪の内径面にて滞留する場合があるが、外輪の内径面を前記のように傾斜させたため、エアオイルは外輪の内径面に滞留することがなく、傾斜面に沿ってスムーズに排出される。   The inner ring surface of the outer ring may be formed in a cross-sectional shape that inclines so that the diameter dimension increases from the rolling surface side toward the width surface side. During the operation of the bearing, the air oil that has been lubricated in the bearing space moves from the inner ring side to the outer ring side due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inner ring and the exhaust and oil discharge flow accompanying this centrifugal force. A part of the air oil may stay on the inner diameter surface of the outer ring, but since the inner diameter surface of the outer ring is inclined as described above, the air oil does not stay on the inner diameter surface of the outer ring. It is discharged smoothly.

参考提案例における第2の転がり軸受は、内輪および外輪の転走面間に転動体を介在させた転がり軸受において、前記外輪に、軸受空間内に貫通するエアオイル潤滑用の給油孔を設け、前記外輪の幅面のうちいずれか一方または両方に、軸受の軸方向内方に凹むエアオイル排気用の切欠き凹部を、内径面から外径面にわたって設け、前記内輪の外径面に、カウンタボア部が形成され、このカウンタボア部における軸方向端部に、外径側に突出する突出部を設けた。軸受運転中、突出部付近に存するエアオイルは、突出部の内径側部分から外径側部分に沿って流れ、切欠き凹部に向かっていく。したがって効果的な排気および排油流れを実現することができる。   The second rolling bearing in the reference proposal example is a rolling bearing in which rolling elements are interposed between the rolling surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring, and the outer ring is provided with an oil supply hole for air oil lubrication penetrating into the bearing space. A notch recess for exhausting air oil that is recessed inward in the axial direction of the bearing is provided on one or both of the width surfaces of the outer ring from the inner diameter surface to the outer diameter surface, and the counter bore portion is provided on the outer diameter surface of the inner ring. A protruding portion that is formed and protrudes toward the outer diameter side is provided at an axial end portion of the counter bore portion. During the bearing operation, the air oil existing in the vicinity of the protruding portion flows from the inner diameter side portion of the protruding portion along the outer diameter side portion toward the notch concave portion. Therefore, an effective exhaust and exhaust oil flow can be realized.

参考提案例における第2の転がり軸受は、内輪および外輪の転走面間に転動体を介在させた転がり軸受において、前記外輪に、軸受空間内に貫通するエアオイル潤滑用の給油孔を設け、前記外輪の幅面のうちいずれか一方または両方に、軸受の軸方向内方に凹むエアオイル排気用の切欠き凹部を、内径面から外径面にわたって設け、前記内輪の外径面のうちいずれか一方にカウンタボア部が形成され、他方に、カウンタボア部の無い反カウンタボア部が形成され、この反カウンタボア部を、前記内輪の転走面側から幅面側に向かうに従って径寸法が大きくなるように傾斜する断面形状に形成した。軸受運転中、反カウンタボア部に存するエアオイルは、この反カウンタボア部の傾斜面における転走面側から幅面側に沿って流れ、切欠き凹部に向かっていく。したがって効果的な排気および排油流れを実現することができる。   The second rolling bearing in the reference proposal example is a rolling bearing in which rolling elements are interposed between the rolling surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring, and the outer ring is provided with an oil supply hole for air oil lubrication penetrating into the bearing space. One or both of the outer ring width surfaces are provided with a notch recess for air oil exhaust that is recessed inward in the axial direction of the bearing from the inner diameter surface to the outer diameter surface, and either one of the outer diameter surfaces of the inner ring is provided. A counterbore part is formed, and on the other hand, an anti-counterbore part without a counterbore part is formed, and the diameter dimension of the anti-counterbore part increases from the rolling surface side to the width surface side of the inner ring. It was formed in an inclined cross-sectional shape. During the bearing operation, the air oil present in the counter-counter bore portion flows along the width surface side from the rolling surface side in the inclined surface of the counter-counter bore portion, and moves toward the notch recess. Therefore, an effective exhaust and exhaust oil flow can be realized.

参考提案例における第4の転がり軸受は、内輪および外輪の転走面間に転動体を介在させた転がり軸受において、前記外輪に、軸受空間内に貫通するエアオイル潤滑用の給油孔を設け、前記外輪の幅面のうちいずれか一方または両方に、軸受の軸方向内方に凹むエアオイル排気用の切欠き凹部を、内径面から外径面にわたって設け、前記内輪の外径面に、カウンタボア部が形成され、複数の転がり軸受の組合せ時に、カウンタボア部の内輪カウンタ径よりも大径となる環状部材を軸受間に挟み込んだものとした。前記環状部材の厚みは、例えば数1mm以下程度の薄板状であっても良い。内輪カウンタ径よりも大径となる環状部材を軸受間に挟み込むことで、各軸受において潤滑に供されたエアオイルは、環状部材に遮られて、隣接する軸受の軸受空間内に殆んど移動することなく切欠き凹部から速やかに排出される。   The fourth rolling bearing in the reference proposal example is a rolling bearing in which rolling elements are interposed between the rolling surfaces of the inner ring and the outer ring. The outer ring is provided with an oil supply hole for air oil lubrication penetrating into the bearing space. A notch recess for exhausting air oil that is recessed inward in the axial direction of the bearing is provided on one or both of the width surfaces of the outer ring from the inner diameter surface to the outer diameter surface, and the counter bore portion is provided on the outer diameter surface of the inner ring. An annular member having a larger diameter than the inner ring counter diameter of the counter bore portion was sandwiched between the bearings when the plurality of rolling bearings were combined. The annular member may have a thin plate shape of, for example, a few millimeters or less. By sandwiching an annular member having a diameter larger than the inner ring counter diameter between the bearings, the air oil used for lubrication in each bearing is blocked by the annular member and moves almost into the bearing space of the adjacent bearing. It is quickly discharged from the notch recess without any problem.

複数の転動体を円周方向一定間隔おきに保持する保持器を有し、この保持器を外輪案内形式または転動体案内形式としても良い。例えば、高速回転で使用されるアンギュラ玉軸受では、保持器を外輪案内形式にすることで、高速回転時の保持器の振れ回りをより抑えることができる。

Notch recesses 9 and 9 for exhausting air oil are provided on both width surfaces of the outer ring 2. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the notch recesses 9 and 9 on both width surfaces of the outer ring 2 have the same phase and the same shape, and therefore only the notch recesses 9 and 9 on one width surface. The notch recesses 9 and 9 on the other width surface will be described with the same reference numerals and will not be described in detail. The “width surface” may be referred to as an “end surface”.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the notch recesses 9 and 9 on the one width surface are respectively recessed inward in the axial direction of the bearing, and provided from the inner diameter surface 2b to the outer diameter surface 2c of the outer ring 2. Yes. As shown in FIG. 2A, the notch recesses 9 and 9 are disposed at 180 ° diagonal positions of the outer ring 2, and the notch recesses 9 and 9 have the same width dimensions H1 and H1. It is provided to become. The notch recesses 9 and 9 are formed in a concave cross-sectional shape in which the bottom depths D1 and D1 (FIG. 1B) are the same depth. As shown in FIG. 2A, the notched recesses 9 and 9 of the outer ring 2 are provided with a predetermined angle α1 with respect to the phases of the oil supply holes 5 and 5.

図3は、2個の転がり軸受を、間座無しで背面組合わせ(DB組合わせ)とした例を示す断面図である。この例では、各軸受の切欠き凹部9,9の円周方向の位相を同位相に配置している。ここで2個の転がり軸受を間座無しで背面組合わせとした場合の、切欠き凹部9の有無の比較試験を行った。本実施品である切欠き凹部9有りの組合わせ軸受と、比較品である切欠き凹部無しの組合わせ軸受のそれぞれについて、定められた運転時間の経過と共に軸受回転数を段階的に上げていき、軸受温度と運転時間との関係を比較した。   FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing an example in which two rolling bearings are combined with a back surface (DB combination) without a spacer. In this example, the circumferential phases of the notch recesses 9 and 9 of each bearing are arranged in the same phase. Here, a comparison test was performed for the presence or absence of the notched recess 9 when the two rolling bearings were combined with the back without a spacer. For each of the combination bearing with a notch recess 9 as a product of this embodiment and the combination bearing without a notch recess as a comparison product, the number of rotations of the bearing is increased step by step with the passage of a predetermined operating time. The relationship between bearing temperature and operation time was compared.

図4(a)は、実施品である切欠き凹部有りの組合わせ軸受の試験データであり、図4(b)は、比較品である切欠き凹部無しの組合わせ軸受の試験データである。試験に用いた実施品の切欠き凹部9は、外輪2の両幅面に設けた。また各幅面につき180°対角位置に2箇所切欠き凹部9,9を設けている。前記切欠き凹部9のサイズは、軸受内径φ100mmのもので幅30mm、深さ2mmである。
試験によると、図4(b)に示す切欠き凹部無しの比較品では、軸受温度tが不安定に変位するいわゆる温度ふらつきが解消されていないが、図4(a)に示す切欠き凹部9を設けた実施品では、軸受温度tの温度ふらつきが解消されている。また実施品では、軸受温度tの過度の昇温もない。なお、幅30mm、深さ1mmの切欠き凹部のサイズでは、温度ふらつきが残っており、ある程度の排出面積を確保する必要がある。今回の試験では、2箇所の給油孔5,5を設け、各給油孔5の直径をφ1.5mmとした。この給油孔5からの給油に対し、実施品の切欠き凹部9は、深さ2mm×幅30mmの4箇所である。
FIG. 4A shows test data of a combination bearing with a notched recess, which is an actual product, and FIG. 4B shows test data of a combination bearing without a notch, which is a comparative product. The cut-out recesses 9 of the product used for the test were provided on both width surfaces of the outer ring 2. Further, two notches 9 and 9 are provided at 180 ° diagonal positions for each width surface. The size of the notch recess 9 is a bearing having an inner diameter of φ100 mm, a width of 30 mm, and a depth of 2 mm.
According to the test, in the comparative product without the notch recess shown in FIG. 4B, the so-called temperature fluctuation in which the bearing temperature t is displaced in an unstable manner is not eliminated, but the notch recess 9 shown in FIG. In the implementation product provided with the temperature fluctuation of the bearing temperature t is eliminated. Moreover, in the implementation product, there is no excessive temperature rise of the bearing temperature t. In addition, in the size of the notch recess having a width of 30 mm and a depth of 1 mm, temperature fluctuation remains, and it is necessary to secure a certain discharge area. In this test, two oil supply holes 5 and 5 were provided, and the diameter of each oil supply hole 5 was set to φ1.5 mm. With respect to the oil supply from the oil supply hole 5, the cut-out concave portions 9 of the implemented product are four places of depth 2 mm × width 30 mm.

以上説明した転がり軸受によると、エアオイルが、軸受外部から外輪2の給油孔5を通して軸受空間内に供給され、軸受の潤滑に供される。その後、エアオイルは外輪2の切欠き用凹部9からスムーズに排気される。このように軸受空間内に供給したエアオイルを、軸受空間内に滞留させることなく、軸受外部にスムーズに排出することができる。このため、運転中、軸受温度が不安定に変位したり過度に昇温することを未然に防止することができる。したがって、排気用の切欠きを設けた間座が不要となり、軸受同士を隣接して組合わせて用いることが可能となる。   According to the rolling bearing described above, air oil is supplied from the outside of the bearing into the bearing space through the oil supply hole 5 of the outer ring 2 and used for lubricating the bearing. Thereafter, the air oil is smoothly exhausted from the notch recess 9 of the outer ring 2. Thus, the air oil supplied into the bearing space can be smoothly discharged outside the bearing without staying in the bearing space. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the bearing temperature from being displaced in an unstable manner or excessively rising during operation. Therefore, a spacer provided with a notch for exhaust becomes unnecessary, and the bearings can be used in combination adjacent to each other.

複数の転がり軸受の組合せ時に、各軸受の切欠き凹部9,9の円周方向の位相を同位相に配置した場合、切欠き凹部9の排出面積つまり断面積を大きく確保することができる。これにより、各軸受において潤滑に供されたエアオイルは、隣接する軸受の軸受空間内に殆んど移動することなく切欠き凹部9から速やかに排出される。このようにエアオイルについて効果的な排気および排油流れを実現することができる。したがって、軸受温度の不安定な変位を確実に解消することができる。また保持器4を外輪案内形式にすることで、高速回転時の保持器4の振れ回りをより抑えることができる。   When a plurality of rolling bearings are combined, the notch recesses 9 and 9 of each bearing are arranged in the same phase in the circumferential direction, so that a large discharge area, that is, a cross-sectional area of the notch recess 9 can be secured. As a result, the air oil used for lubrication in each bearing is quickly discharged from the notched recess 9 without almost moving into the bearing space of the adjacent bearing. In this way, an effective exhaust and drainage flow can be realized for the air oil. Therefore, the unstable displacement of the bearing temperature can be reliably eliminated. Further, by making the cage 4 into the outer ring guide type, the swinging of the cage 4 during high-speed rotation can be further suppressed.

他の実施形態として、図5に示すように、転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、外輪2の内径面2bを、転走面側から幅面側に向かうに従って径寸法が大きくなるように傾斜する断面形状に形成しても良い。この例では、軸受運転中、軸受空間内で潤滑に供されたエアオイルは、内輪回転による遠心力、この遠心力に伴う排気および排油流れにより、内輪1側から外輪2側に向かう。エアオイルの一部は、外輪2の内径面2bにて滞留する場合があるが、外輪2の内径面2bを前記のように傾斜させたため、エアオイルは外輪2の内径面2bに滞留することがなく、傾斜面2bに沿ってスムーズに排出される。   As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the rolling bearing is a rear combination, and the inner ring surface 2 b of the outer ring 2 is inclined so that the diameter dimension increases from the rolling surface side toward the width surface side. You may form in. In this example, during the bearing operation, the air oil that has been lubricated in the bearing space moves from the inner ring 1 side to the outer ring 2 side due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the inner ring, the exhaust gas accompanying the centrifugal force, and the oil flow. A part of the air oil may stay on the inner diameter surface 2b of the outer ring 2, but the air oil does not stay on the inner diameter surface 2b of the outer ring 2 because the inner diameter surface 2b of the outer ring 2 is inclined as described above. The liquid is smoothly discharged along the inclined surface 2b.

図6に示すように、内輪1の外径面にカウンタボア部10が形成された転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、前記カウンタボア部10における軸方向端部に、外径側に突出する突出部11を設けても良い。この例では、軸受運転中、突出部11付近に存するエアオイルは、突出部11の内径側部分から外径側部分に沿って流れ、切欠き凹部9に向かっていく。したがって効果的な排気および排油流れを実現することができる。   As shown in FIG. 6, a rolling bearing having a counter bore portion 10 formed on the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 1 is combined with the rear surface, and a protruding portion that protrudes toward the outer diameter side at an axial end portion of the counter bore portion 10. 11 may be provided. In this example, the air oil existing in the vicinity of the protruding portion 11 flows from the inner diameter side portion of the protruding portion 11 along the outer diameter side portion toward the notch recess 9 during the bearing operation. Therefore, an effective exhaust and exhaust oil flow can be realized.

図7に示すように、内輪1の外径面のうち、背面側にカウンタボア部10が形成され、正面側に反カウンタボア部12が形成された転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、反カウンタボア部12を、内輪1の転走面1a側から幅面側に向かうに従って径寸法が大きくなるように傾斜する断面形状に形成しても良い。この例では、軸受運転中、反カウンタボア部12に存するエアオイルは、この反カウンタボア部12の傾斜面における転走面1a側から幅面側に沿って流れ、切欠き凹部9に向かっていく。したがって効果的な排気および排油流れを実現することができる。   As shown in FIG. 7, among the outer diameter surfaces of the inner ring 1, a rolling bearing in which a counter bore portion 10 is formed on the back side and an anti counter bore portion 12 is formed on the front side is combined with the back surface. The portion 12 may be formed in a cross-sectional shape that inclines so that the diameter dimension increases from the rolling surface 1a side of the inner ring 1 toward the width surface side. In this example, during the bearing operation, the air oil existing in the counter-counter bore portion 12 flows along the width surface side from the rolling surface 1a side of the inclined surface of the counter-counter bore portion 12 toward the notch recess 9. Therefore, an effective exhaust and exhaust oil flow can be realized.

図8に示すように、2個の転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、内輪端面間に、内輪カウンタボア部10の内輪カウンタ径D2よりも大径となる環状部材13を挟み込んだものとしても良い。この環状部材13は薄板状の鋼板等からなり、環状部材13の内径は内輪内径と略同一寸法で、環状部材13の外径は内輪カウンタ径D2よりも大径でかつ外輪内径よりも小径に定められている。また外輪端面間にも、薄板状の鋼板等からなる環状部材14を挟み込んでいる。この環状部材14は、内輪端面間の環状部材13と厚みが同一で、外輪内径よりも大径でかつ外輪外径と略同一寸法に定められている。
この構成によると、内輪カウンタ径D2よりも大径となる環状部材13を、内輪端面間に挟み込むことで、各軸受において潤滑に供されたエアオイルは、前記環状部材13に遮られて、隣接する軸受の軸受空間内に殆んど移動することなく切欠き凹部9から速やかに排出される。
As shown in FIG. 8, two rolling bearings may be combined on the back surface, and an annular member 13 having a larger diameter than the inner ring counter diameter D <b> 2 of the inner ring counter bore portion 10 may be sandwiched between the inner ring end faces. The annular member 13 is made of a thin steel plate or the like. The inner diameter of the annular member 13 is substantially the same as the inner ring inner diameter, and the outer diameter of the annular member 13 is larger than the inner ring counter diameter D2 and smaller than the inner diameter of the outer ring. It has been established. An annular member 14 made of a thin steel plate or the like is sandwiched between the outer ring end faces. The annular member 14 has the same thickness as the annular member 13 between the inner ring end faces, is larger in diameter than the inner diameter of the outer ring, and is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the outer ring.
According to this configuration, by sandwiching the annular member 13 having a diameter larger than the inner ring counter diameter D2 between the end surfaces of the inner ring, air oil used for lubrication in each bearing is blocked by the annular member 13 and adjacent thereto. It is quickly discharged from the notch recess 9 with little movement into the bearing space of the bearing.

図9では、2個の転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、各軸受の保持器4Aが外輪案内形式であって、この保持器4Aの内径面4Aaを、ポケット4a側から保持器端面側に向かうに従って径寸法が大きくなるように傾斜する断面形状に形成している。この例では、軸受運転時、保持器4Aの内径面付近に存するエアオイルは、保持器傾斜面の小径側から大径側に沿って流れ、切欠き凹部9にスムーズに向かっていく。   In FIG. 9, two rolling bearings are combined in the back, and the cage 4A of each bearing is an outer ring guide type, and the inner diameter surface 4Aa of the cage 4A moves from the pocket 4a side toward the cage end surface side. The cross-sectional shape is inclined so as to increase the diameter. In this example, during the bearing operation, the air oil existing in the vicinity of the inner diameter surface of the cage 4A flows along the larger diameter side from the smaller diameter side of the cage inclined surface, and smoothly moves toward the notch recess 9.

図10では、2個の転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、各軸受の保持器4Bが転動体案内形式であって、この保持器4Bの外径面4Bbを、ポケット4a側から保持器端面側に向かうに従って径寸法が大きくなるように傾斜する断面形状に形成している。保持器4Bの内径面4Baも、前記外径面4Bbと平行な傾斜面としている。軸受運転時、保持器4Bの外径面付近、内径面付近に存するエアオイルは、各傾斜面の小径側から大径側に沿って流れ、切欠き凹部9にスムーズに向かっていく。   In FIG. 10, two rolling bearings are combined on the back, and the cage 4B of each bearing is a rolling element guide type, and the outer diameter surface 4Bb of the cage 4B is moved from the pocket 4a side to the cage end surface side. It is formed in a cross-sectional shape that inclines so that the diameter dimension increases as it goes. The inner diameter surface 4Ba of the cage 4B is also an inclined surface parallel to the outer diameter surface 4Bb. During the bearing operation, the air oil existing in the vicinity of the outer diameter surface and the inner diameter surface of the cage 4B flows from the small diameter side to the large diameter side of each inclined surface, and smoothly moves toward the notch recess 9.

図11では、2個の転がり軸受を背面組合わせとし、各外輪2の切欠き凹部9とこの外輪2の外径面2cとの角部に、面取り15を設けている。この場合、排気出口の断面積を排気入口の断面積よりも大きくすることができ、より効果的な排気および排油流れとすることができる。
図12(A)に示すように、外輪2の切欠き凹部9と給油孔5との円周方向の位相を、同位相に配置しても良い。この場合、切欠き凹部9と給油孔5との円周方向の位相を90度異ならせた図12(B)の形態よりも、軸受における給排油間の距離を小さくすることができ、より効果的な排気および排油流れとすることができる。
In FIG. 11, two rolling bearings are combined on the back surface, and chamfers 15 are provided at the corners of the notch recess 9 of each outer ring 2 and the outer diameter surface 2 c of the outer ring 2. In this case, the cross-sectional area of the exhaust outlet can be made larger than the cross-sectional area of the exhaust inlet, and a more effective exhaust and oil flow can be achieved.
As shown in FIG. 12 (A), the circumferential phase of the notch recess 9 and the oil supply hole 5 of the outer ring 2 may be arranged in the same phase. In this case, the distance between the oil supply and discharge oil in the bearing can be made smaller than in the embodiment shown in FIG. 12B in which the circumferential phase of the notch recess 9 and the oil supply hole 5 is different by 90 degrees. Effective exhaust and drainage flow can be achieved.

図13(A)に示すように、外輪2の外径面2cにおいて、円周溝を無くし、図13(B)に示すように、この外径面2cにおける給油孔5の排気出口の外周部分に環状溝16を設けても良い。この環状溝16に、エアオイルの漏れ防止用のOリングからなる環状のシール部材8Aを設けている。この場合、2列の円周溝7,7を形成する場合より加工工数の低減を図れるうえ、部品点数の低減を図れる。
図14に示すように、転がり軸受が内輪つば付の円筒ころ軸受であっても良い。この場合、外輪2における給油孔5の軸方向位置が、転動体3の一端面3aに合致するように設けられる。これにより、エアオイルを、保持器ポケット4aおよび内輪1のつば面1cに確実に導くことができ、潤滑効果を高めることができる。その他前記各実施形態と同様の作用効果を奏する。
アンギュラ玉軸受の組合せの例として、背面組合わせとした例を示しているが、正面組合わせや並列組合わせとしても良い。
外輪案内形式の保持器を転動体案内形式の保持器に変更しても良いし、逆に転動体案内形式の保持器を外輪案内形式に変更しても良い。
As shown in FIG. 13 (A), a circumferential groove is eliminated in the outer diameter surface 2c of the outer ring 2, and as shown in FIG. 13 (B), the outer peripheral portion of the exhaust outlet of the oil supply hole 5 in the outer diameter surface 2c. An annular groove 16 may be provided. The annular groove 16 is provided with an annular seal member 8A made of an O-ring for preventing air oil leakage. In this case, the number of processing steps can be reduced and the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the case where the two circumferential grooves 7 and 7 are formed.
As shown in FIG. 14, the rolling bearing may be a cylindrical roller bearing with an inner ring collar. In this case, the axial position of the oil supply hole 5 in the outer ring 2 is provided so as to match the one end surface 3 a of the rolling element 3. As a result, the air oil can be reliably guided to the cage pocket 4a and the collar surface 1c of the inner ring 1, and the lubrication effect can be enhanced. In addition, the same operational effects as the above-described embodiments are obtained.
As an example of the combination of the angular ball bearings, an example in which the rear combination is used is shown, but a front combination or a parallel combination may be used.
The outer ring guide type cage may be changed to a rolling element guide type cage, and conversely, the rolling element guide type cage may be changed to an outer ring guide type.

図15は、前記いずれかの実施形態に係る転がり軸受を用いた工作機械用主軸の断面図である。この図15の例は、モータをハウジング内に内蔵した、いわゆるビルトインモータ駆動式の工作機械用主軸である。主軸17に、モータ18のロータ19が取付けられ、ハウジングHsに、このモータ18のステータ20が取付けられている。ロータ19は永久磁石等からなり、ステータ20はコイルおよびコア等からなる。主軸17の前端側に、実施形態に係る円筒ころ軸受BR1および背面組合せしたアンギュラ玉軸受BR2が配置され、主軸17の後端側にも実施形態に係る円筒ころ軸受BR1が配置されている。   FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of a main spindle for a machine tool using a rolling bearing according to any one of the above embodiments. The example of FIG. 15 is a so-called built-in motor driven spindle for a machine tool in which a motor is built in a housing. A rotor 19 of a motor 18 is attached to the main shaft 17, and a stator 20 of the motor 18 is attached to the housing Hs. The rotor 19 is made of a permanent magnet or the like, and the stator 20 is made of a coil, a core, or the like. The cylindrical roller bearing BR1 according to the embodiment and the angular ball bearing BR2 combined with the back surface are arranged on the front end side of the main shaft 17, and the cylindrical roller bearing BR1 according to the embodiment is also arranged on the rear end side of the main shaft 17.

各軸受BR1,BR2の内輪1は主軸17の外周面に嵌合し、外輪2はハウジングHsの内周面に嵌合している。これら内外輪1,2は内輪押え21および外輪押え22等により主軸17およびハウジングHsにそれぞれ固定されている。ハウジングHsにはエアオイル供給路23が設けられ、このエアオイル供給路23は図示外のエアオイル供給源に接続されている。前記エアオイル供給路23は、各外輪2の給油孔5に連通している。またハウジングHsには、各外輪2の切欠き凹部9に連通するエアオイル排気溝24がそれぞれ設けられると共に、各エアオイル排気溝24に繋がるエアオイル排気路25が設けられている。このエアオイル排気路25からエアオイルが排気されるようになっている。
この場合、主軸17の前端側に、軸受を集中して配置できるため、従来のように間座を軸受間に設けた場合に比べて、主軸17の短縮化を図り主軸剛性を高めることができる。これと共に、軸受温度が不安定に変位したり過度に昇温することを未然に防止できるため、主軸17の高速化および高精度化を図ることができる。
The inner ring 1 of each bearing BR1, BR2 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft 17, and the outer ring 2 is fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the housing Hs. These inner and outer rings 1 and 2 are fixed to the main shaft 17 and the housing Hs by an inner ring presser 21 and an outer ring presser 22, respectively. An air oil supply path 23 is provided in the housing Hs, and the air oil supply path 23 is connected to an air oil supply source (not shown). The air oil supply path 23 communicates with the oil supply hole 5 of each outer ring 2. The housing Hs is provided with an air oil exhaust groove 24 communicating with the notched recess 9 of each outer ring 2 and an air oil exhaust passage 25 connected to each air oil exhaust groove 24. Air oil is exhausted from the air oil exhaust passage 25.
In this case, since the bearings can be concentrated on the front end side of the main shaft 17, the main shaft 17 can be shortened and the main shaft rigidity can be increased as compared with the conventional case where the spacer is provided between the bearings. . At the same time, since it is possible to prevent the bearing temperature from being unstablely displaced or excessively raised, the speed and accuracy of the main shaft 17 can be increased.
