Description

本発明は、円すいころ軸受に関し、特に、転動体として、軸心に沿って貫通孔が形成された中空ころを用いる円すいころ軸受に関する。   The present invention relates to a tapered roller bearing, and more particularly, to a tapered roller bearing using a hollow roller having a through hole formed along a shaft center as a rolling element.

大荷重や衝撃荷重が作用する設備等においては、負荷容量を上げるために、周方向に隣り合うころ間に柱部を配置されない中空ころが用いられる場合がある(特許文献1〜特許文献3)。   In facilities and the like on which large loads and impact loads act, hollow rollers in which no column portion is disposed between rollers adjacent in the circumferential direction may be used in order to increase the load capacity (Patent Documents 1 to 3). .

このような円すいころ軸受は、図15と図16に示すように、内周に軌道面1を有する外輪2と、外周に軌道面3を有する内輪4と、外輪2の軌道面1と内輪4の軌道面3との間に配設された複数の円すいころ5と、円すいころ5を保持する保持器6とを備える。また、内輪4は、軌道面3の小径側に小つば7を形成すると共に大径側に大つば8を形成している。すなわち、大つば8によってスラスト荷重を受け、小つば7によって円すいころ5の脱落を防止するようにしている。円すいころ5は、軸心に軸心方向に沿って延びる貫通孔9が形成された中空ころである。   As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, such a tapered roller bearing includes an outer ring 2 having a raceway surface 1 on the inner periphery, an inner ring 4 having a raceway surface 3 on the outer periphery, and a raceway surface 1 and an inner ring 4 of the outer ring 2. A plurality of tapered rollers 5 disposed between the raceway surface 3 and a cage 6 that holds the tapered rollers 5. The inner ring 4 has a small brim 7 on the small diameter side of the raceway surface 3 and a large brim 8 on the large diameter side. That is, a thrust load is received by the large brim 8, and the tapered roller 5 is prevented from falling off by the small brim 7. The tapered roller 5 is a hollow roller in which a through hole 9 extending in the axial direction is formed in the axial center.

保持器6は、円すいころ5の小端面5a側及び大端面5b側に配設される一対の環状部材10,11と、円すいころ5の貫通孔9に挿通されて一対の環状部材10,11を相互に連結するピン部材12とを有する。   The cage 6 is inserted into the pair of annular members 10 and 11 disposed on the small end surface 5 a side and the large end surface 5 b side of the tapered roller 5 and the through hole 9 of the tapered roller 5 and is paired with the pair of annular members 10 and 11. And a pin member 12 for connecting the two to each other.

ピン部材12は先端に雄ネジ部13aを有する軸部材からなり、また、大端面5b側の環状部材11にねじ孔11aが設けられている。そして、環状部材10の貫孔10aを介して、小端面5a側からピン部材12を円すいころ5の貫通孔9に挿通し、このピン部材12の雄ネジ部13aを環状部材11のねじ孔11aに螺着する。   The pin member 12 is composed of a shaft member having a male screw portion 13a at the tip, and a screw hole 11a is provided in the annular member 11 on the large end surface 5b side. Then, the pin member 12 is inserted into the through hole 9 of the tapered roller 5 from the small end surface 5 a side through the through hole 10 a of the annular member 10, and the male screw portion 13 a of the pin member 12 is inserted into the screw hole 11 a of the annular member 11. Screw on.

また、小端面5a側の環状部材10の貫孔10aにピン部材12が挿通されるが、この場合、ピン部材12の頭部13bが溶接にて環状部材10に一体化される。なお、図15と図16において、15は溶接部を示している。   Further, the pin member 12 is inserted through the through hole 10a of the annular member 10 on the small end surface 5a side. In this case, the head portion 13b of the pin member 12 is integrated with the annular member 10 by welding. In FIGS. 15 and 16, reference numeral 15 denotes a welded portion.

ところで、図15と図16に示す円すいころ軸受の円すいころ5では、小端面5aの径寸法(直径寸法)と、大端面5bの径寸法(直径寸法)との差(径差)が比較的大きくなっている。このため、円すいころ5を組込む際に、正規の姿勢(方向)とは逆の姿勢(方向)で組み込むことが生じない、すなわち、円すいころ5の正規の方向は、図15に示すように、小端面5a側が内輪4の小径側に配置される方向である。   By the way, in the tapered roller 5 of the tapered roller bearing shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the difference (diameter difference) between the diameter dimension (diameter dimension) of the small end face 5a and the diameter dimension (diameter dimension) of the large end face 5b is relatively large. It is getting bigger. For this reason, when the tapered roller 5 is assembled, the tapered roller 5 is not assembled in a posture (direction) opposite to the normal posture (direction), that is, the regular direction of the tapered roller 5 is as shown in FIG. The small end surface 5 a side is the direction in which the small ring surface of the inner ring 4 is arranged.

ところが、図13に示すように、小端面5aの径寸法(直径寸法)と、大端面5bの径寸法(直径寸法)との差(径差)が比較的小さい場合、円すいころ5を組込む際において、小端面5aと大端面5bとが区別がつきにくく、図14に示すように、正規の姿勢(方向)とは逆の姿勢(逆向き)で組み込むおそれがある。   However, as shown in FIG. 13, when the difference (diameter difference) between the diameter dimension (diameter dimension) of the small end face 5a and the diameter dimension (diameter dimension) of the large end face 5b is relatively small, the tapered roller 5 is assembled. In FIG. 14, the small end surface 5a and the large end surface 5b are difficult to distinguish, and as shown in FIG. 14, there is a possibility that the small end surface 5a and the large end surface 5b are incorporated in a posture (reverse direction) opposite to the normal posture (direction).

すなわち、この場合、小端面5aと大端面5bとの径差が小さく、また、小端面5aと大端面5bとは研削仕上げされており、外観から識別が困難である。しかも、小端面5aと大端面5bとの径差が小さいので、逆向きであっても図14に示すように、組み立てることができる。特に、中空ころである円すいころ5を用いる円すいころ軸受では、ポケットを有する保持器を用いないので、組み立てる際にポケットに円すいころ5を嵌合させることがなく、円すいころが逆向きであっても、逆向きであることが分からずに組み立てることができる。   That is, in this case, the difference in diameter between the small end surface 5a and the large end surface 5b is small, and the small end surface 5a and the large end surface 5b are ground and difficult to distinguish from the appearance. Moreover, since the difference in diameter between the small end surface 5a and the large end surface 5b is small, it can be assembled as shown in FIG. In particular, in the tapered roller bearing using the tapered roller 5 which is a hollow roller, a cage having a pocket is not used, so that the tapered roller 5 is not fitted into the pocket when assembled, and the tapered roller is in the reverse direction. However, it can be assembled without knowing that it is in the opposite direction.

このように、正規の姿勢(方向)とは逆の姿勢(逆向き)で組み込れば、円すいころ5に剥離や破損等が生じたり、軸受として軸部材等を滑らかに回転させることができない。また、大荷重や衝撃荷重が作用する設備等に用いる円すいころ軸受では、1つの軸受に対して使用するころ数が多く、例えば50本/軸受であり、人為的ミスが発生し易くなる。   As described above, when assembled in a posture (direction) opposite to the normal posture (direction), the tapered roller 5 may be peeled off or damaged, or the shaft member or the like cannot be rotated smoothly as a bearing. . Further, in a tapered roller bearing used for facilities or the like where a heavy load or impact load acts, the number of rollers used for one bearing is large, for example, 50 / bearing, and human error is likely to occur.

ところで、前記した特許文献1では、保持器の各ピンに転動体(ころ)を1つずつ挿入し、各ピンの弾性力を活かして内輪に押し込むものである。   By the way, in above-mentioned patent document 1, one rolling element (roller) is inserted in each pin of a cage, and it pushes into an inner ring using the elastic force of each pin.

また、特許文献2では、ピンが挿通される一方の環状部材(第1リング)の貫通穴の内周面及びこの貫通穴に配置されているピンの貫通穴配置部の外周面に所望の面圧を付与することによって、強度的に優れたピンタイプ保持器を提供するものである。   Further, in Patent Document 2, a desired surface is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole of one annular member (first ring) through which the pin is inserted and the outer peripheral surface of the through hole arrangement portion of the pin arranged in the through hole. By applying a pressure, a pin type cage excellent in strength is provided.

さらには、特許文献3では、保持器が、周方向に沿って隣り合うころの間に柱部が配置されるものである。すなわち、特許文献3では、保持器は、周方向に沿って配設される複数個の分割セグメントを有するものであり、各分割セグメントに、ころが挿入されるポケットが形成される。このため、周方向に沿って隣り合うポケット間に柱部が配置されることになる。   Furthermore, in patent document 3, a holder | retainer is a pillar part arrange | positioned between the rollers which adjoin along the circumferential direction. That is, in Patent Document 3, the cage has a plurality of divided segments arranged along the circumferential direction, and a pocket into which the roller is inserted is formed in each divided segment. For this reason, a pillar part is arrange | positioned between the pockets adjacent along the circumferential direction.

このため、前記各特許文献1〜特許文献3には、小端面と大端面の径差が小さいころを、正規の姿勢(方向)とは逆の姿勢(逆向き)で組み込むのを防止する円すいころ軸受を提供するという課題はない。   For this reason, in each of the Patent Documents 1 to 3, a cone that prevents a roller having a small diameter difference between the small end surface and the large end surface from being incorporated in a posture (reverse direction) opposite to the normal posture (direction). There is no problem of providing roller bearings.

そこで、本発明は、小端面と大端面の径差が小さいころを正規の方向に安定して組込むことが可能な円すいころ軸受を提供する。   Accordingly, the present invention provides a tapered roller bearing capable of stably incorporating a roller having a small diameter difference between a small end surface and a large end surface in a normal direction.

本発明の円すいころ軸受は、内周に軌道面を有する外輪と、外周に軌道面を有する内輪と、外輪の軌道輪と内輪の軌道輪との間に配設された複数の円すいころと、円すいころを保持する保持器とを備え、前記円すいころは、小端面の直径と大端面の直径との差である径差が2mm以下で、軸心に軸心方向に沿って延びる貫通孔が形成された中空ころであり、前記保持器は、円すいころの小端面側及び大端面側に配設される一対の環状部材と、円すいころの貫通孔に挿通されて一対の環状部材を相互に連結するピン部材とを有する円すいころ軸受であって、前記円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置された状態において、前記保持器の正規の組立工程でのみ嵌合する凹凸嵌合構造を、前記円すいころと保持器との間に設けたものである。   The tapered roller bearing of the present invention includes an outer ring having a raceway surface on the inner periphery, an inner ring having a raceway surface on the outer periphery, a plurality of tapered rollers disposed between the outer ring raceway ring and the inner ring raceway ring, The tapered roller has a diameter difference of 2 mm or less, which is a difference between the diameter of the small end face and the diameter of the large end face, and has a through hole extending along the axial direction in the axis. A hollow roller formed, and the cage includes a pair of annular members disposed on the small end face side and the large end face side of the tapered roller, and a pair of annular members inserted into the through holes of the tapered roller. A tapered roller bearing having a pin member to be connected, and in a state where the tapered roller is disposed in a normal direction with respect to an inner ring, a concave-convex fitting structure that is fitted only in a normal assembly process of the cage, It is provided between the tapered roller and the cage.

本発明の円すいころ軸受によれば、円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置された状態、つまり、円すいころの大端面が内輪の大つばに相対面し、円すいころの小端面が内輪の小つばに相対面している状態において、保持器の正規の組立工程を行えば、凹凸嵌合構造が嵌合状態となる。保持器は、円すいころの貫通孔にピン部材を挿通させて一対の環状部材を相互に連結するものである。このため、正規の組立工程としては、円すいころの小端面側に環状部材を配置したり、円すいころの大端面側に環状部材を配置したり、円すいころの貫通孔にピン部材を挿通させたりする工程となる。   According to the tapered roller bearing of the present invention, the tapered roller is disposed in a normal direction with respect to the inner ring, that is, the large end surface of the tapered roller faces the large collar of the inner ring, and the small end surface of the tapered roller is the inner ring. If the normal assembly process of the cage is performed in a state facing the small brim, the concave-convex fitting structure is brought into a fitted state. The cage is configured to connect a pair of annular members to each other by inserting a pin member through a through hole of a tapered roller. For this reason, as a regular assembly process, an annular member is arranged on the small end face side of the tapered roller, an annular member is arranged on the large end face side of the tapered roller, or a pin member is inserted into the through hole of the tapered roller. It becomes a process to do.

従って、円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置されていない状態、つまり、円すいころの小端面が内輪の大つばに相対面し、円すいころの大端面が内輪の小つばに相対面している状態において、保持器の正規の組立工程を行えば、円すいころの小端面側に、対応すべきでない環状部材が対応し、円すいころの大端面側に、対応すべきでない環状部材が対応することになる。このため、凹凸嵌合構造を嵌合状態とすることができず、正規方向と逆方向に配置されていると把握することができる。   Therefore, the tapered rollers are not arranged in the normal direction with respect to the inner ring, that is, the small end surface of the tapered roller faces the large collar of the inner ring, and the large end surface of the tapered roller faces the small collar of the inner ring. In a state where the cage is properly assembled, an annular member that should not be supported corresponds to the small end face side of the tapered roller, and an annular member that should not be supported corresponds to the large end face side of the tapered roller. It will be. For this reason, the concave-convex fitting structure cannot be brought into the fitted state, and it can be grasped that the concave-convex fitting structure is arranged in the direction opposite to the normal direction.

円すいころの小端面と大端面とのいずれか一方側に凹部又は凸部からなるころ側嵌合部を設けるとともに、保持器側に前記ころ側嵌合部に嵌合する凸部又は凹部からなる保持器側嵌合部を設け、前記ころ側嵌合部と保持器側嵌合部とで、前記凹凸嵌合構造を構成するのが好ましい。このように構成することによって、円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置されていれば、ころ側嵌合部と保持器側嵌合部とが嵌合し、正規方向と逆方向のころが配置されていた場合、ころ側嵌合部と保持器側嵌合部とが嵌合しない。   A roller side fitting part consisting of a concave part or a convex part is provided on either the small end face or the large end face of the tapered roller, and the convex part or concave part fitting on the roller side fitting part is provided on the cage side. It is preferable that a cage-side fitting portion is provided, and the roller-side fitting portion and the cage-side fitting portion constitute the uneven fitting structure. By configuring in this way, if the tapered roller is arranged in the normal direction with respect to the inner ring, the roller side fitting portion and the cage side fitting portion are fitted, and the roller in the direction opposite to the normal direction is obtained. When arranged, the roller side fitting part and the cage side fitting part do not fit.

この場合、円すいころの小端面と大端面とのいずれか一方側に凹部からなるころ側嵌合部を設け、かつ、このころ側嵌合部に相対面する環状部材のころ対応面に、ころ側嵌合部に嵌合する凸部からなる保持器側嵌合部を設けるようにできる。   In this case, a roller side fitting portion made of a concave portion is provided on one side of the small end surface and the large end surface of the tapered roller, and the roller corresponding surface of the annular member facing the roller side fitting portion is provided with a roller. A cage side fitting portion comprising a convex portion to be fitted to the side fitting portion can be provided.

また、円すいころの小端面と大端面とのいずれか一方側に凹部からなるころ側嵌合部を設け、かつ、前記保持器側嵌合部を、前記ピン部材に外嵌されるワッシャにて構成することができる。すなわち、円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置されていれば、ころ側嵌合部である凹部に、ピン部材に外嵌されるワッシャが嵌合して、保持器の組立が可能となる。これに対して、正規方向と逆方向のころが配置されていた場合、ワッシャが凹部に嵌合されず、保持器を組立てることができない。   In addition, a roller side fitting portion formed of a concave portion is provided on either one of the small end surface and the large end surface of the tapered roller, and the retainer side fitting portion is a washer that is externally fitted to the pin member. Can be configured. That is, if the tapered roller is arranged in a normal direction with respect to the inner ring, the washer fitted on the pin member is fitted into the recess that is the roller side fitting portion, and the cage can be assembled. . On the other hand, when the roller in the direction opposite to the normal direction is arranged, the washer is not fitted into the recess, and the cage cannot be assembled.

円すいころの小端面と大端面とのいずれかの一方側に凸部からなるころ側嵌合部を設け、このころ側嵌合部に相対面する環状部材のころ対応面に、ころ側嵌合部に嵌合する凹部からなる保持器側嵌合部を設けたものであってもよい。   A roller side fitting part consisting of a convex part is provided on one side of either the small end face or the large end face of the tapered roller, and the roller side fitting is performed on the roller corresponding surface of the annular member facing the roller side fitting part. The cage side fitting part which consists of a recessed part fitted to a part may be provided.

円すいころの貫通孔の両開口部にそれぞれ面取り部を設けるととともに、小端面側の面取り部と大端面側の面取り部の大きさを相違させて、大きい面取り部をもって前記ころ側嵌合部とし、かつ、保持器側嵌合部を、ピン部材に外嵌されるブッシュにて構成してもよい。このような場合、円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置されていれば、ころ側嵌合部である大きい面取り部に、ピン部材に外嵌されるブッシュが嵌合して、保持器の組立が可能となる。これに対して、正規方向と逆方向のころが配置されていた場合、ブッシュが小さい面取り部に対応して、保持器を組立てることができない。   Chamfered portions are provided at both openings of the through hole of the tapered roller, and the chamfered portion on the small end surface side and the chamfered portion on the large end surface side are made different from each other. In addition, the cage-side fitting portion may be constituted by a bush fitted on the pin member. In such a case, if the tapered roller is arranged in a normal direction with respect to the inner ring, a bush that is externally fitted to the pin member is fitted to the large chamfered portion that is the roller side fitting portion, and the cage Assembly becomes possible. On the other hand, when rollers in the direction opposite to the normal direction are arranged, the cage cannot be assembled corresponding to the chamfered portion where the bush is small.

円すいころの貫通孔の両開口部にそれぞれ面取り部を設けるととともに、小端面側の面取り部と大端面側の面取り部の大きさを相違させて、大きい面取り部をもって前記ころ側嵌合部とし、かつ、保持器側嵌合部を、大きい面取り部側の環状部材のころ対応面に設けられる突起部にて構成してもよい。このように構成することによって、円すいころが内輪に対して正規方向に配置されていれば、ころ側嵌合部である大きい面取り部に、この大きい面取り部側の環状部材のころ対応面に設けられる突起部が嵌合して、保持器の組立が可能となる。これに対して、正規方向と逆方向のころが配置されていた場合、この突起部が小さい面取り部に対応して、保持器を組立てることができない。   Chamfered portions are provided at both openings of the through hole of the tapered roller, and the chamfered portion on the small end surface side and the chamfered portion on the large end surface side are made different from each other. And you may comprise a cage | basket side fitting part by the projection part provided in the roller corresponding | compatible surface of the annular member by the side of a large chamfering part. With this configuration, if the tapered roller is arranged in a normal direction with respect to the inner ring, the large chamfered portion that is the roller side fitting portion is provided on the roller corresponding surface of the annular member on the large chamfered portion side. As a result, the retainer can be assembled. On the other hand, when the roller of the direction opposite to a normal direction is arrange | positioned, this protrusion cannot respond to a small chamfering part, and a holder cannot be assembled.

本発明では、正規方向と逆方向に円すいころが配置された場合、ころ側嵌合部に保持器側嵌合部とを嵌合させることができない。このため、嵌合させることができない円すいころが、正規方向と逆方向に配置されていると把握することができ、円すいころの逆向きの組込を回避することができる。特に、小端面の直径と大端面の直径との径差が2mm以下と小さく、外観から小端面と大端面とが識別しにくいものであっても、円すいころを逆向きに組込むことがなく、高品質に円すいころ軸受を組み立てることができ、長期にわたって安定して軸受機能を発揮することができる。   In the present invention, when the tapered roller is arranged in the direction opposite to the normal direction, the cage side fitting portion cannot be fitted to the roller side fitting portion. For this reason, it can be grasped that the tapered rollers that cannot be fitted are arranged in the direction opposite to the normal direction, and the incorporation of the tapered rollers in the reverse direction can be avoided. In particular, even if the diameter difference between the diameter of the small end face and the diameter of the large end face is as small as 2 mm or less, and the small end face and the large end face are difficult to distinguish from the appearance, the tapered roller is not assembled in the reverse direction. Tapered roller bearings can be assembled with high quality, and the bearing function can be demonstrated stably over a long period of time.

以下本発明の実施の形態を図1〜図12に基づいて説明する。図1に第1の実施形態の円すいころ軸受を示し、この円すいころ軸受は、内周に軌道面21を有する外輪22と、外周に軌道面23を有する内輪24と、外輪22の軌道面21と内輪24の軌道面23との間に配設された複数の円すいころ25と、円すいころ25を保持する保持器26とを備える。また、内輪24は、軌道面23の小径側に小つば27を形成すると共に大径側に大つば28を形成している。すなわち、大つば28によってスラスト荷重を受け、小つば27によって円すいころ25の脱落を防止するようにしている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows a tapered roller bearing according to the first embodiment. The tapered roller bearing includes an outer ring 22 having a raceway surface 21 on the inner periphery, an inner ring 24 having a raceway surface 23 on the outer periphery, and a raceway surface 21 of the outer ring 22. And a plurality of tapered rollers 25 disposed between the raceway surface 23 of the inner ring 24 and a cage 26 that holds the tapered rollers 25. Further, the inner ring 24 has a small collar 27 formed on the small diameter side of the raceway surface 23 and a large collar 28 formed on the large diameter side. That is, a thrust load is received by the large brim 28 and the tapered roller 25 is prevented from falling off by the small brim 27.

円すいころ25は、小端面25aの直径と大端面25bの直径との差が比較的小さいものである。すなわち、図2(a)に示すように、小端面25aの直径をDaとし、大端面25bの直径Dbとしたときに、(Db−Da)≦2(mm)に設定されている。   The tapered roller 25 has a relatively small difference between the diameter of the small end face 25a and the diameter of the large end face 25b. That is, as shown in FIG. 2A, when the diameter of the small end face 25a is Da and the diameter Db of the large end face 25b is set, (Db−Da) ≦ 2 (mm).

また、円すいころ25は、軸心に軸心方向に沿って延びる貫通孔29が形成された中空ころである。貫通孔29の小端面側開口部及び大端面側開口部にそれぞれ面取り部29a、29bが設けられている。この場合、小端面25a側の面取り部29aは大端面25b側の面取り部29bよりも大きく設定されている。具体的には、大きい側の面取り部29aは、貫通孔29の内部から小端面25aに向けって拡径するテーパ孔とされ、小さい側の面取り部29bは、貫通孔29の大端面側開口部に設けられるアール部から構成される。   The tapered roller 25 is a hollow roller in which a through hole 29 extending in the axial direction is formed in the axial center. Chamfered portions 29 a and 29 b are provided in the small end surface side opening and the large end surface side opening of the through hole 29, respectively. In this case, the chamfered portion 29a on the small end surface 25a side is set larger than the chamfered portion 29b on the large end surface 25b side. Specifically, the chamfered portion 29 a on the large side is a tapered hole that expands from the inside of the through hole 29 toward the small end surface 25 a, and the chamfered portion 29 b on the small side is an opening on the large end surface side of the through hole 29. It is comprised from the round part provided in a part.

保持器26は、円すいころ25の小端面25a側及び大端面25b側に配設される一対の環状部材30,31と、円すいころ25の貫通孔29に挿通されて一対の環状部材30,31を相互に連結するピン部材32とを有する。ピン部材32は、その軸径が前記貫通孔29の内径よりも僅かに小さいピン部材本体33と、このピン部材本体33の先端に連設される雄ネジ部34と、ピン部材本体33の基端に設けられる頭部35とからなる。   The cage 26 is inserted into the pair of annular members 30 and 31 disposed on the small end surface 25 a side and the large end surface 25 b side of the tapered roller 25 and the through hole 29 of the tapered roller 25 and is paired with the pair of annular members 30 and 31. And a pin member 32 for connecting the two to each other. The pin member 32 has a pin member main body 33 whose shaft diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the through-hole 29, a male screw portion 34 connected to the tip of the pin member main body 33, and a base of the pin member main body 33. The head 35 is provided at the end.

環状部材30には、周方向に沿って等ピッチで、複数個の貫孔36が設けられている。この場合、図1に示すように、環状部材30は小端面25aに相対面するように配置されるので、その内端面30a及び外端面30bが軸受軸心に対して直交する平面に対して所定角度で傾斜し、内径面30c及び外径面30dは、この軸受の軸心を中心とした円筒面である。そして、この円すいころ軸受が組立された際に、前記貫孔36は円すいころの貫通孔29の軸線上に配設される。   The annular member 30 is provided with a plurality of through holes 36 at an equal pitch along the circumferential direction. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the annular member 30 is arranged so as to face the small end surface 25a, so that the inner end surface 30a and the outer end surface 30b are predetermined with respect to a plane orthogonal to the bearing axis. The inner surface 30c and the outer surface 30d are inclined at an angle, and are cylindrical surfaces centered on the shaft center of the bearing. When the tapered roller bearing is assembled, the through hole 36 is disposed on the axis of the through hole 29 of the tapered roller.

貫孔36は、その内径寸法がピン部材32のピン部材本体33の軸径よりも大きく設定される。また、この貫孔36には短円筒状のブッシュ40が装着され、貫孔36の外端面30b側の開口部には、座グリ部36aが設けられている。この場合、ブッシュ40の一部が、環状部材30の内端面30aよりも円すいころ25側に突出する。このため、図1に示すように、正規方向に円すいころ25が配置されて組立てられた状態において、ブッシュ40の円すいころ25側への突出部40aが、円すいころ25の大きい面取り部29aに遊嵌状に嵌入することになる。ここで、円すいころ25が正規方向に配置されている状態とは、円すいころ25の大端面25bが、内輪24の大つば28に相対面し、円すいころ25の小端面25aが、内輪24の小つば27に相対面している状態である。このように、円すいころ25の大きい面取り部29aが、凹部からなるころ側嵌合部50となり、ブッシュ40の突出部40aが、この凹部からなるころ側嵌合部に嵌合する保持器側嵌合部51となる。そして、ころ側嵌合部50と保持器側嵌合部51とで凹凸嵌合構造Mを構成し、この凹凸嵌合構造Mが、円すいころが内輪24に対して正規方向に配置された状態において、前記保持器25の正規方向の組立でのみ嵌合することになる。   The inner diameter of the through hole 36 is set larger than the shaft diameter of the pin member main body 33 of the pin member 32. In addition, a short cylindrical bush 40 is mounted in the through hole 36, and a counterbore portion 36a is provided in the opening of the through hole 36 on the outer end surface 30b side. In this case, a part of the bush 40 protrudes toward the tapered roller 25 side from the inner end surface 30 a of the annular member 30. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, in a state where the tapered rollers 25 are arranged and assembled in the normal direction, the protruding portion 40 a of the bush 40 toward the tapered rollers 25 side is loosened by the large chamfered portion 29 a of the tapered rollers 25. It will be inserted into a fitting shape. Here, the state in which the tapered roller 25 is arranged in the normal direction means that the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25 faces the large collar 28 of the inner ring 24 and the small end surface 25 a of the tapered roller 25 is in contact with the inner ring 24. It is in a state facing the small brim 27. In this way, the large chamfered portion 29a of the tapered roller 25 becomes the roller side fitting portion 50 made of a concave portion, and the protruding portion 40a of the bush 40 fits on the roller side fitting portion made of this concave portion. It becomes the joint part 51. And the roller side fitting part 50 and the cage | basket side fitting part 51 comprise the uneven | corrugated fitting structure M, and this uneven | corrugated fitting structure M is the state by which the tapered roller was arrange | positioned with respect to the inner ring 24 in the normal direction. In this case, the retainer 25 is engaged only in assembly in the normal direction.

また、環状部材31は、周方向に沿って等ピッチ(前記環状部材30の貫孔36の配設ピッチと同一ピッチ)で、複数個のねじ孔37が設けられている。この場合、図1に示すように、環状部材31は、大端面25bに相対面するように配置されるので、その内端面31a及び外端面31bが軸受軸心に対して直交する平面に対して所定角度で傾斜し、内径面31c及び外径面31dは、この軸受の軸心を中心とした円筒面である。そして、図1に示すように、この円すいころ軸受が組立された際に、前記ねじ孔37は円すいころ25の貫通孔29の軸線上に配設される。   In addition, the annular member 31 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 37 at an equal pitch along the circumferential direction (same pitch as the pitch of the through holes 36 of the annular member 30). In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the annular member 31 is disposed so as to face the large end surface 25b, so that the inner end surface 31a and the outer end surface 31b are perpendicular to the bearing axis. The inner surface 31c and the outer surface 31d are inclined at a predetermined angle, and are cylindrical surfaces centered on the axis of the bearing. As shown in FIG. 1, when the tapered roller bearing is assembled, the screw hole 37 is disposed on the axis of the through hole 29 of the tapered roller 25.

次に、前記図1に示すように構成される円すいころ軸受の組立方法を説明する。まず図2(a)に示すように、内輪24の大径側端面24aを下方に向けた状態とするとともに、環状部材31(ねじ孔37を有する環状部材31)を、内輪24の軌道面21に嵌合状とした円すいころ25に大端面25bに相対面させて配置する。この際、図示省略の受け部材(治具)にて環状部材31を受ける。   Next, a method for assembling the tapered roller bearing configured as shown in FIG. 1 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 2A, the large-diameter side end surface 24 a of the inner ring 24 is directed downward, and the annular member 31 (the annular member 31 having the screw hole 37) is replaced with the raceway surface 21 of the inner ring 24. The tapered roller 25 fitted in the shape is disposed so as to face the large end surface 25b. At this time, the annular member 31 is received by a receiving member (jig) (not shown).

次に、図2(b)に示すように、円すいころ25の小端面25a上に一方の環状部材30を配置する。その状態で、ピン部材32の先端の雄ネジ部34を環状部材30の貫孔36を介して円すいころ25の貫通孔29へ挿入していく。すなわち、ピン部材32を、円すいころ25の軸心に沿って貫通孔29に挿入していくことになる。   Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, one annular member 30 is disposed on the small end surface 25 a of the tapered roller 25. In this state, the male screw portion 34 at the tip of the pin member 32 is inserted into the through hole 29 of the tapered roller 25 through the through hole 36 of the annular member 30. That is, the pin member 32 is inserted into the through hole 29 along the axis of the tapered roller 25.

このため、ピン部材32の雄ネジ部34が円すいころ25の貫通孔29から突出する状態で、このピン部材32の雄ネジ部34を環状部材31のねじ孔37に対して螺進させることによって、図2(c)に示すように、螺着することができる。なお、この螺進にはピン部材32の頭部35を利用することになる。そして、図2(c)に示すように、ピン部材32の雄ネジ部34が環状部材31のねじ孔37に螺合した状態では、ピン部材32の基部(ピン部材本体33の頭部35側)が環状部材30の貫孔36に遊嵌状に嵌合した状態である。そこで、頭部35乃至その近傍を溶接してピン部材32を環状部材30に固着することになる。   For this reason, by causing the male screw portion 34 of the pin member 32 to protrude from the through hole 29 of the tapered roller 25, the male screw portion 34 of the pin member 32 is screwed into the screw hole 37 of the annular member 31. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), it can be screwed. The head 35 of the pin member 32 is used for this screwing. As shown in FIG. 2C, in the state where the male threaded portion 34 of the pin member 32 is screwed into the screw hole 37 of the annular member 31, the base portion of the pin member 32 (the head 35 side of the pin member main body 33). ) Is in a state of being loosely fitted into the through hole 36 of the annular member 30. Therefore, the head member 35 and its vicinity are welded to fix the pin member 32 to the annular member 30.

ところで、この円すいころ軸受では、ピン部材32に外嵌されるブッシュ40が環状部材30の貫孔36に嵌着されるものである。この際、環状部材30の貫孔36にブッシュ40を嵌入させた環状部材30を、図2(b)に示すように配置し、その後、ピン部材32を円すいころ25の貫通孔28に挿通するようにしても、環状部材30を、図2(b)に示すように配置した後に、環状部材30の貫孔36にブッシュ40を嵌入させて、ピン部材32を円すいころ25の貫通孔28に挿通するようにしても、環状部材30を、図2(b)に示すように配置した後に、ピン部材32を円すいころ25の貫通孔28に挿通し、次に、環状部材30の貫孔36にブッシュ40を嵌入させてもよい。   By the way, in this tapered roller bearing, the bush 40 that is externally fitted to the pin member 32 is fitted into the through hole 36 of the annular member 30. At this time, the annular member 30 in which the bush 40 is fitted into the through hole 36 of the annular member 30 is arranged as shown in FIG. 2B, and then the pin member 32 is inserted into the through hole 28 of the tapered roller 25. Even if it does so, after arrange | positioning the annular member 30 as shown in FIG.2 (b), the bush 40 is inserted in the through-hole 36 of the annular member 30, and the pin member 32 is made into the through-hole 28 of the tapered roller 25. FIG. Even if it is inserted, after the annular member 30 is arranged as shown in FIG. 2B, the pin member 32 is inserted into the through hole 28 of the tapered roller 25, and then the through hole 36 of the annular member 30. The bush 40 may be inserted into the base.

そして、この保持器26が組立られた状態では、ブッシュ40の一部が円すいころ25側に突出して、その突出部40aが面取り部29aに遊嵌状に嵌入することになる。このような前記工程を配設する全ての円すいころ25に対して行えば、内輪24に保持器26にて保持された円すいころ25が装着されたユニット体が構成される。このユニット体と外輪22とを組み付けることによって、図1に示す円すいころ軸受を組み立てることができる。   In a state where the cage 26 is assembled, a part of the bush 40 protrudes toward the tapered roller 25, and the protruding portion 40a is fitted into the chamfered portion 29a in a loose fit. If this process is performed for all the tapered rollers 25 provided, a unit body in which the tapered rollers 25 held by the cage 26 are mounted on the inner ring 24 is configured. By assembling the unit body and the outer ring 22, the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 1 can be assembled.

ところで、図1及び図2(a)に示すように、円すいころ25が正規方向に配置されている場合、前記したように、ブッシュ40の円すいころ25側への突出部40aが、円すいころ25の大きい面取り部29aに遊嵌状に嵌入することになる。ところが、図3に示すように、円すいころ25が正規方向と逆方向に配置されて組立てられれば、ブッシュ40の突出部40aが、大端面25bの小さい面取り部29bに食い込みむとともに、外輪22の軌道面21の小径側及び内輪24の軌道面23の小径側に円すいころ25の転動面(外径面)が圧接することになる。円すいころ25が正規方向と逆方向に配置された状態とは、円すいころ25の小端面25aが、内輪24の大つば28に相対面し、円すいころ25の大端面25bが、内輪24の小つば27に相対面している状態である。   By the way, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2 (a), when the tapered roller 25 is arrange | positioned in a regular direction, as above-mentioned, the protrusion part 40a to the tapered roller 25 side of the bush 40 is the tapered roller 25. As shown in FIG. Is inserted into the large chamfered portion 29a in a loose fit. However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the tapered roller 25 is assembled in the direction opposite to the normal direction, the protruding portion 40a of the bush 40 bites into the small chamfered portion 29b of the large end surface 25b, and the track of the outer ring 22 The rolling surface (outer diameter surface) of the tapered roller 25 is pressed against the small diameter side of the surface 21 and the small diameter side of the raceway surface 23 of the inner ring 24. The state in which the tapered roller 25 is disposed in the direction opposite to the normal direction is that the small end surface 25 a of the tapered roller 25 faces the large collar 28 of the inner ring 24, and the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25 is small in the inner ring 24. It is in a state of facing the collar 27.

すなわち、円すいころ25が正規方向と逆方向に配置された状態で、正規の組立工程を行えば、図4に示すように、ブッシュ40の突出部40aが、円すいころ25の大端面25b側の面取り部29bに接触して、図2(b)に示すように、環状部材30を配置することができない。ここで、正規の組立工程とは、図2に示す工程であって、円すいころ25の小端面側に環状部材30を配置したり、円すいころ25の大端面側に環状部材31を配置したり、円すいころ25の貫通孔29にピン部材32を挿通させたりする工程となる。   That is, if a regular assembly process is performed in a state where the tapered roller 25 is disposed in the direction opposite to the normal direction, the protruding portion 40a of the bush 40 is located on the large end surface 25b side of the tapered roller 25 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2B, the annular member 30 cannot be arranged in contact with the chamfered portion 29b. Here, the regular assembly process is a process shown in FIG. 2, in which the annular member 30 is arranged on the small end face side of the tapered roller 25, or the annular member 31 is arranged on the large end face side of the tapered roller 25. In this process, the pin member 32 is inserted into the through hole 29 of the tapered roller 25.

このため、図1に示すように、ころ側嵌合部50と保持器側嵌合部51とからなる凹凸嵌合構造Mを備えたものでは、正規方向と逆方向に円すいころ25が配置された場合、保持器の正規の組立工程を行えば、ころ側嵌合部50に保持器側嵌合部51とを嵌合させることができない。このため、嵌合させることができない円すいころ25が、正規方向と逆方向に配置されていると把握することができ、円すいころ25の逆向きの組込を回避することができる。特に、小端面25aの直径と大端面25bの直径との径差(Db−Da)が2mm以下と小さく、外観から小端面25aと大端面25bとが識別しにくいものであっても、円すいころ25を逆向きに組込むことがなく、高品質に円すいころ軸受を組み立てることができ、長期にわたって安定して軸受機能を発揮することができる。   For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, in the thing provided with the uneven | corrugated fitting structure M which consists of the roller side fitting part 50 and the cage | basket side fitting part 51, the tapered roller 25 is arrange | positioned in the reverse direction to a normal direction. In this case, the cage-side fitting portion 51 cannot be fitted to the roller-side fitting portion 50 if the cage is properly assembled. For this reason, it can be grasped that the tapered rollers 25 that cannot be fitted are arranged in the direction opposite to the normal direction, and the incorporation of the tapered rollers 25 in the reverse direction can be avoided. In particular, even if the diameter difference (Db−Da) between the diameter of the small end face 25a and the diameter of the large end face 25b is as small as 2 mm or less, and the small end face 25a and the large end face 25b are difficult to distinguish from each other, The tapered roller bearing can be assembled with high quality without being assembled in the opposite direction, and the bearing function can be exhibited stably over a long period of time.

また、図1に示す円すいころ軸受では、ころ側嵌合部50を円すいころ25の面取り部29aにて形成でき、保持器側嵌合部51を環状部材30の貫孔36に嵌合されるブッシュ40にて形成でき、簡単で部品点数の少ない構成でもって凹凸嵌合構造Mを設けることができる。   Further, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 1, the roller side fitting portion 50 can be formed by the chamfered portion 29 a of the tapered roller 25, and the cage side fitting portion 51 is fitted into the through hole 36 of the annular member 30. The concave / convex fitting structure M can be provided with a simple configuration with a small number of parts.

次に図5に示す円すいころ軸受(第2の実施形態の円すいころ軸受)は、円すいころ25としては、前記図1に示す円すいころ25と同様、貫通孔29の小端面側開口部及び大端面側開口部にそれぞれ面取り部29a、29bが設けられているものである。   Next, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 5 (the tapered roller bearing according to the second embodiment), the tapered roller 25 is similar to the tapered roller 25 shown in FIG. Chamfered portions 29a and 29b are respectively provided in the end surface side openings.

そして、環状部材30の内端面30aに図6に示すような扁平円すい台形状の凸部41を設けている。すなわち、この図5に示すように、円すいころ25が正規方向に配置されている場合、図7に示すように、面取り部29aに凸部41が遊嵌状に嵌入することになる。すなわち、この面取り部29aがころ側嵌合部50を構成し、凸部41がこの面取り部29aからなるころ側嵌合部50に嵌合する保持器側嵌合部51を構成する。   And the convex part 41 of flat conical trapezoid shape as shown in FIG. 6 is provided in the inner end surface 30a of the annular member 30. As shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the tapered roller 25 is arranged in the normal direction, as shown in FIG. 7, the convex portion 41 is fitted into the chamfered portion 29a in a loose fit. That is, the chamfered portion 29a constitutes the roller-side fitting portion 50, and the convex portion 41 constitutes the cage-side fitting portion 51 that fits into the roller-side fitting portion 50 formed of the chamfered portion 29a.

円すいころ25が正規方向に配置されている場合、前記したように、環状部材30側の凸部41が、円すいころ25の大きい面取り部29aに遊嵌状に嵌入することになる。ところが、円すいころ25が正規方向と逆方向に配置されて組立てられれば、図8に示すように、凸部41が、円すいころ25の大端面25b側の面取り部29bに接触して嵌入させることができず、環状部材30を配置することができない。   When the tapered roller 25 is disposed in the normal direction, the convex portion 41 on the annular member 30 side is fitted into the large chamfered portion 29 a of the tapered roller 25 in a loose manner as described above. However, if the tapered roller 25 is assembled in the direction opposite to the normal direction and assembled, the convex portion 41 comes into contact with the chamfered portion 29b on the large end surface 25b side of the tapered roller 25 as shown in FIG. The annular member 30 cannot be disposed.

図5等に示す円すいころ軸受であっても、ころ側嵌合部50と保持器側嵌合部51とからなる凹凸嵌合構造Mを備えているので、正規方向と逆方向に円すいころが配置された場合、ころ側嵌合部50に保持器側嵌合部51とを嵌合させることができない。しかも、保持器側嵌合部51を環状部材30に設けられる凸部41にて設けられ、凸部41と保持器側嵌合部51とを一体化でき、組立性の向上を図ることができる。   Even in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 5 and the like, since the concave and convex fitting structure M including the roller-side fitting portion 50 and the cage-side fitting portion 51 is provided, the tapered roller has a direction opposite to the normal direction. When arranged, the roller side fitting portion 50 cannot be fitted to the cage side fitting portion 51. In addition, the cage-side fitting portion 51 is provided by the convex portion 41 provided on the annular member 30, and the convex portion 41 and the cage-side fitting portion 51 can be integrated to improve assemblability. .

次に図9と図10に示す円すいころ軸受(第3の実施形態の円すいころ軸受)では、円すいころ25の小端面25aの中心部に、リング形状の凸部42を設けるとともに、環状部材30の内径面の中央部に、前記凸部42が嵌合する円形状の凹部43を設けている。なお、凸部42の付け根部にヌスミ部44が設けられている。   Next, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 (the tapered roller bearing of the third embodiment), a ring-shaped convex portion 42 is provided at the center of the small end surface 25a of the tapered roller 25, and the annular member 30 is provided. A circular concave portion 43 into which the convex portion 42 is fitted is provided at the central portion of the inner diameter surface of the first concave portion. In addition, the Nusumi part 44 is provided in the base part of the convex part 42. FIG.

この場合、円すいころ25が正規方向に配置された場合、凸部42が凹部43に遊嵌状に嵌入(嵌合)する。しかしながら、円すいころ25が正規方向と逆方向に配置された場合、図11に示すように、環状部材30の凹部43に、円すいころ25の凹部を有さない大端面25bに対応することになって、保持器を組み立てることができない。このため、ころ25の小端面25aの凸部42がころ側嵌合部50を構成し、環状部材30の凹部43が保持器側嵌合部51を構成する。   In this case, when the tapered roller 25 is arranged in the normal direction, the convex portion 42 is fitted (fitted) into the concave portion 43 in a loose fit. However, when the tapered roller 25 is arranged in the direction opposite to the normal direction, the concave portion 43 of the annular member 30 corresponds to the large end surface 25b having no concave portion of the tapered roller 25 as shown in FIG. The cage cannot be assembled. For this reason, the convex part 42 of the small end surface 25 a of the roller 25 constitutes the roller side fitting part 50, and the concave part 43 of the annular member 30 constitutes the cage side fitting part 51.

図9及び図10に示す円すいころ軸受であっても、ころ側嵌合部50と保持器側嵌合部51とからなる凹凸嵌合構造Mを備え、正規方向と逆方向に円すいころが配置された場合、ころ側嵌合部50に保持器側嵌合部51とを嵌合させることができず、円すいころを逆方向の姿勢で組み立てることを回避することができる。しかも、図9及び図10に示す円すいころ軸受では、小端面5aに凸部42が設けられているので、外観によっても円すいころ25の姿勢を把握することができる。また、保持器側嵌合部51のワッシャ46を用いるので、保持器側嵌合部51として、構成の簡略化および低コスト化を図ることができる。   The tapered roller bearing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 also has an uneven fitting structure M composed of a roller-side fitting portion 50 and a cage-side fitting portion 51, and the tapered rollers are arranged in a direction opposite to the normal direction. In this case, the roller-side fitting portion 50 cannot be fitted with the cage-side fitting portion 51, and it is possible to avoid assembling the tapered roller in a reverse orientation. Moreover, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, since the convex portion 42 is provided on the small end surface 5a, the posture of the tapered roller 25 can be grasped also by the appearance. Moreover, since the washer 46 of the cage side fitting portion 51 is used, the configuration of the cage side fitting portion 51 can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

次に図12に示す円すいころ軸受(第4の実施形態の円すいころ軸受)では、円すいころ25の大端面25bに凹部45が設けられ、この凹部45に、ピン部材32に外嵌されるリング体(ワッシャ)46が嵌合している。この場合、円すいころ25の大端面25bの凹部45がころ側嵌合部50を構成し、ワッシャ46にて保持器側嵌合部51を構成する。すなわち、この凹部45とワッシャ46にて、凹凸嵌合構造Mを構成する。   Next, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 12 (the tapered roller bearing of the fourth embodiment), a recess 45 is provided in the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25, and a ring that is externally fitted to the pin member 32 in the recess 45. A body (washer) 46 is fitted. In this case, the concave portion 45 of the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25 constitutes the roller side fitting portion 50, and the retainer side fitting portion 51 is constituted by the washer 46. That is, the concave and convex fitting structure M is configured by the concave portion 45 and the washer 46.

円すいころ25が正規方向に配置されている場合、図12に示すように、ワッシャ46を凹部45に嵌合させることができる。しかしながら、円すいころ25が正規方向と逆方向に配設された場合、円すいころ25の大端面25bの凹部45が、貫孔36を有する環状部材30側に配設されることになる。のため、ピン部材32の雄ネジ部34側に配設されるワッシャ46を円すいころ25の大端面25bの凹部45に嵌合させることができない。   When the tapered roller 25 is arranged in the normal direction, the washer 46 can be fitted into the recess 45 as shown in FIG. However, when the tapered roller 25 is disposed in the direction opposite to the normal direction, the concave portion 45 of the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25 is disposed on the annular member 30 side having the through hole 36. For this reason, the washer 46 disposed on the male screw portion 34 side of the pin member 32 cannot be fitted into the concave portion 45 of the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25.

従って、この図12に示す円すいころ軸受でも、ころ側嵌合部50と保持器側嵌合部51とからなる凹凸嵌合構造Mを備えたものでは、正規方向と逆方向に円すいころ25が配置された場合、ころ側嵌合部50に保持器側嵌合部51とを嵌合させることができないことになる。つまり、この図12に示すものであっても、ころ側嵌合部50と保持器側嵌合部51とからなる凹凸嵌合構造Mを備えることなる。なお、このワッシャ46を用いる場合、組み立てる際には、図2(a)に示す状態において、この環状部材31上に載置することになる。   Therefore, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 12, when the concave and convex fitting structure M including the roller side fitting portion 50 and the cage side fitting portion 51 is provided, the tapered roller 25 is provided in the direction opposite to the normal direction. When arranged, the roller side fitting portion 50 cannot be fitted to the cage side fitting portion 51. That is, even if it is what is shown in this FIG. 12, the uneven | corrugated fitting structure M which consists of the roller side fitting part 50 and the holder | retainer side fitting part 51 will be provided. In addition, when using this washer 46, when assembling, in the state shown to Fig.2 (a), it will mount on this annular member 31. FIG.

また、図12に示す円すいころ軸受では、円すいころ25の大端面25bの凹部45がころ側嵌合部50を構成し、ワッシャ46にて保持器側嵌合部51を構成する。このため、円すいころ25の大端面25bの凹部45でもって、円すいころ25の姿勢を把握することもできる。   Further, in the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. 12, the concave portion 45 of the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25 constitutes the roller side fitting portion 50 and the washer 46 constitutes the cage side fitting portion 51. For this reason, the posture of the tapered roller 25 can be grasped by the concave portion 45 of the large end surface 25 b of the tapered roller 25.

このように、第6に示す第2の実施形態の円すいころ軸受、図9に示す第3の実施形態の円すいころ軸受、及び、図12に示すに第4の実施形態の円すいころ軸受であっても、図1に示す円すいころ軸受と同様の作用効果を奏する。すなわち、ころ側嵌合部50としては、円すいころ25の小端面25aと大端面25bとのいずれか一方側に設けられる凹部又は凸部にて構成でき、保持器側嵌合部51としては、保持器側に前記ころ側嵌合部51に嵌合する凸部又は凹部にて構成できることになる。このため、この円すいころ軸受の設計の自由度が高くなる。   Thus, the tapered roller bearing of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the tapered roller bearing of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 9, and the tapered roller bearing of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. However, the same effect as the tapered roller bearing shown in FIG. That is, as the roller side fitting part 50, it can be comprised by the recessed part or convex part provided in either one side of the small end surface 25a and the large end surface 25b of the tapered roller 25, and as the cage side fitting part 51, It can be comprised by the convex part or recessed part which fits the said roller side fitting part 51 in a holder | retainer side. For this reason, the freedom degree of design of this tapered roller bearing becomes high.

以上、本発明の実施形態につき説明したが、本発明は前記実施形態に限定されることなく種々の変形が可能であって、図1等に示すように、円すいころ25の貫通孔29に、大きい面取り部29aと小さい面取り部29bとを設ける場合における各面取り部の大きさや形状等としては、正規方向に円すいころが配置された場合、ころ側嵌合部50に保持器側嵌合部51とを嵌合させことができて、かつ、正規方向と逆方向に円すいころが配置された場合、ころ側嵌合部50に保持器側嵌合部51とを嵌合させことができないものであればよい。   As described above, the embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible. As shown in FIG. In the case where the large chamfered portion 29a and the small chamfered portion 29b are provided, as the size and shape of each chamfered portion, when a tapered roller is disposed in the normal direction, the roller side fitting portion 50 is provided with the cage side fitting portion 51. When the tapered roller is arranged in the direction opposite to the normal direction, the cage side fitting portion 51 cannot be fitted to the roller side fitting portion 50. I just need it.

また、図9に示すように、凹凸嵌合構造Mが、ころ25の小端面25aに形成される凸部と、環状部材30に内端面30aに形成される凹部とで構成される場合、環状部材30に内端面30aの凹部が円形孔として、これに嵌合する凸部として、リング形状に形成することなく、周方向に沿って所定ピッチで複数個配設される小突起であってもよい。また、凸部の外形形状及び凹部の内形形状も円形に限るものでは、組み込まれた際に回転運動を損なわない範囲で種々変更することができる。さらに、環状部材30に内端面30aの凹部が環状部材30の内径面及び外径面に開口するものであってもよい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 9, when the concave-convex fitting structure M is composed of a convex portion formed on the small end surface 25 a of the roller 25 and a concave portion formed on the inner end surface 30 a of the annular member 30, Even if the concave portion of the inner end face 30a is a circular hole in the member 30, and a plurality of small protrusions are arranged at a predetermined pitch along the circumferential direction without forming a ring shape as a convex portion to be fitted to the concave portion. Good. Further, the outer shape of the convex portion and the inner shape of the concave portion are not limited to a circular shape, and can be variously changed within a range that does not impair the rotational motion when incorporated. Furthermore, the annular member 30 may have recesses in the inner end surface 30 a that open to the inner and outer diameter surfaces of the annular member 30.

凹凸嵌合構造Mとして、図9に示す凹凸嵌合構造Mの逆の凹凸嵌合構造であってもよい。すなわち、環状部材30の内端面30aに図9に示すような形状の凸部を形成し、円すいころの小端面に図9に示すような形状の凹部を形成してもよい。   The uneven fitting structure M may be an uneven fitting structure opposite to the uneven fitting structure M shown in FIG. That is, a convex portion having a shape as shown in FIG. 9 may be formed on the inner end surface 30a of the annular member 30, and a concave portion having a shape as shown in FIG. 9 may be formed on the small end surface of the tapered roller.

ところで、前記各実施形態では、図2に示す工程によって、円すいころを組み立てることになり、保持器の組立工程(正規の組立工程)としては、円すいころ25の小端面側に環状部材30を配置したり、円すいころ25の大端面側に環状部材31を配置したり、円すいころ25の貫通孔29にピン部材32を挿通させたりする工程となる。このため、凹凸嵌合構造Mとしては、円すいころ25の小端面側に環状部材30を配置したり、円すいころ25の大端面側に環状部材31を配置したり、又は、円すいころ25の貫通孔29にピン部材32を挿通させたりする際に嵌合状態となればよい。   By the way, in each said embodiment, a tapered roller will be assembled according to the process shown in FIG. 2, and the annular member 30 is arrange | positioned at the small end surface side of the tapered roller 25 as an assembly process (regular assembly process) of a retainer. Or an annular member 31 is disposed on the large end face side of the tapered roller 25, or the pin member 32 is inserted through the through hole 29 of the tapered roller 25. For this reason, as the concavo-convex fitting structure M, the annular member 30 is disposed on the small end face side of the tapered roller 25, the annular member 31 is disposed on the large end face side of the tapered roller 25, or the tapered roller 25 is penetrated. What is necessary is just to be in a fitting state, when inserting the pin member 32 in the hole 29. FIG.

また、ピン部材32の雄ネジ部34及びこの雄ネジ部34が螺合するねじ孔37としては、ストレートねじであってもテーパねじであってもよい。さらには、環状部材31にねじ孔37を設けたものであったが、この環状部材31自体にねじ孔を設けず、ピン部材32の雄ネジ部34が挿通される貫孔を設け、環状部材31の外端面側にこの貫孔に連通される雌ねじを有するナット部材を設けたものであってもよい。ピン部材を正規方向向きで挿通、つまり、内輪小径側からのピン部材32のころの貫通孔29への挿入であったが、逆に、内輪大径側からのピン部材32のころの貫通孔29への挿入であってもよい。   The male screw portion 34 of the pin member 32 and the screw hole 37 into which the male screw portion 34 is screwed may be a straight screw or a taper screw. Further, the screw hole 37 is provided in the annular member 31, but the annular member 31 itself is not provided with a screw hole, but is provided with a through hole through which the male screw portion 34 of the pin member 32 is inserted. A nut member having a female thread communicating with the through hole may be provided on the outer end surface side of 31. The pin member is inserted in the normal direction, that is, the pin member 32 is inserted into the roller through hole 29 from the inner ring small diameter side, but conversely, the pin member 32 roller through hole from the inner ring large diameter side 29 may be inserted.
