Description

本発明は、車輪用軸受装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a wheel bearing device.

自動車等の車両において、車輪を回転自在に支持するために車輪用軸受装置(ハブユニット)が用いられている。車輪用軸受装置は、車輪が取り付けられるフランジ部を車両アウタ側に有するハブ軸と、このハブ軸の径方向外側に設けられている外輪と、ハブ軸と外輪との間に設けられている複数の転動体(例えば、複数の玉)と、複数の転動体を保持する保持器とを備えている。また、このような車輪用軸受装置では、ハブ軸と外輪との間であって転動体が設けられている軸受内部に、泥水等の異物が軸受外部から浸入するのを防ぐために、密封装置が設けられている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   In a vehicle such as an automobile, a wheel bearing device (hub unit) is used to rotatably support a wheel. The wheel bearing device includes a hub shaft having a flange portion on a vehicle outer side to which a wheel is attached, an outer ring provided radially outside the hub shaft, and a plurality of portions provided between the hub shaft and the outer ring. Rolling elements (for example, a plurality of balls) and a cage for holding the plurality of rolling elements. In addition, in such a wheel bearing device, a sealing device is provided in order to prevent foreign matter such as muddy water from entering the bearing between the hub axle and the outer ring and provided with rolling elements. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).

従来の密封装置として、外輪の内周面の一部にシール部材が取り付けられており、このシール部材のリップをハブ軸の一部に滑り接触させる構成が提案されている。しかし、ハブ軸は、例えば機械構造用炭素鋼からなるため、リップが滑り接触する部分に泥水が付着して錆が発生すると、錆がリップを攻撃してリップの摩耗が促進され、やがて、軸受内部に異物が浸入するおそれがある。そこで、図5に示すように、ハブ軸90に環状のスリンガ99(ステンレス製)を取り付け、シール部材93のリップ94をスリンガ99に滑り接触させることで、リップ94の摩耗を防ぐという対策が講じられているものがある。   As a conventional sealing device, a structure is proposed in which a seal member is attached to a part of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring, and a lip of the seal member is slidably contacted with a part of the hub shaft. However, because the hub axle is made of carbon steel for machine structure, for example, if muddy water adheres to the part where the lip slides and comes into contact with the rust, the rust attacks the lip and promotes wear of the lip. There is a risk of foreign objects entering the interior. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, an annular slinger 99 (made of stainless steel) is attached to the hub shaft 90, and the lip 94 of the seal member 93 is brought into sliding contact with the slinger 99, thereby preventing the lip 94 from being worn. There is something that has been.

スリンガ99は、円筒部98と、この円筒部98の車両アウタ側の端部から凹状の曲面部96を介して径方向外側に延びている円板部97とを有している。スリンガ99は、円筒部98がハブ軸90の一部に外嵌することにより、ハブ軸90に取り付けられた状態となる。   The slinger 99 has a cylindrical part 98 and a disk part 97 extending radially outward from the end of the cylindrical part 98 on the vehicle outer side via a concave curved surface part 96. The slinger 99 is attached to the hub shaft 90 by fitting the cylindrical portion 98 to a part of the hub shaft 90.

特開2014−95403号公報JP 2014-95403 A

前記密封装置のスリンガ99は、ハブ軸90の外周面91に対して圧入することで取り付けられるが、この際、スリンガ99の円筒部98が塑性変形してしまい、取り付け後において、ハブ軸90への嵌合力(締め付け力)が低下するおそれがある。この場合、車両の走行に伴ってスリンガ99が車両インナ側(シール部材93側)へ移動し、スリンガ99が転動体92に接触したり、シール部材93のリップ94の潰れ代が増加したりすることで、摩擦抵抗が増加して回転損失が大きくなる。また、リップ94の異常摩耗や発熱による劣化の原因にもなってしまう。   The slinger 99 of the sealing device is attached by being press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface 91 of the hub shaft 90. At this time, the cylindrical portion 98 of the slinger 99 is plastically deformed, and after attachment, the slinger 99 is attached to the hub shaft 90. There is a risk that the fitting force (clamping force) will decrease. In this case, as the vehicle travels, the slinger 99 moves to the vehicle inner side (the seal member 93 side), the slinger 99 comes into contact with the rolling element 92, or the crushing margin of the lip 94 of the seal member 93 increases. As a result, the frictional resistance increases and the rotation loss increases. Further, the lip 94 may be deteriorated due to abnormal wear or heat generation.

そこで、本発明は、車輪用軸受装置において、スリンガをハブ軸に嵌合させるときの塑性変形を抑制することを目的とする。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is to suppress plastic deformation when a slinger is fitted to a hub shaft in a wheel bearing device.

本発明は、車輪が取り付けられるフランジ部が外周面よりも車両アウタ側から径方向外側に延びて形成されているハブ軸と、前記ハブ軸の前記外周面よりも径方向外側に設けられている外輪と、前記ハブ軸と前記外輪との間に設けられている複数の転動体と、前記外輪に取り付けられている環状のシール部材と、前記ハブ軸に取り付けられ前記シール部材が滑り接触する環状のスリンガと、を備え、前記スリンガは、前記ハブ軸の前記外周面に締り嵌めの状態で嵌合している円筒部と、前記フランジ部の車両インナ側の側面に沿って配置されている円板部と、前記円筒部の車両アウタ側の端部と前記円板部の内周端部との間に設けられた環状の中間部と、を備え、前記中間部は、前記円筒部との境界において屈曲され、かつ車両アウタ側ほど大径となるテーパー状の第1傾斜部と、前記円板部との境界において屈曲され、かつ車両アウタ側ほど大径となるテーパー状の第2傾斜部と、を有し、前記第1傾斜部における前記円筒部の内周面に対する傾斜角度は、前記第2傾斜部における前記円板部の車両アウタ側の側面に対する傾斜角度よりも大きく設定されている。   The present invention is provided with a hub shaft in which a flange portion to which a wheel is attached is formed to extend radially outward from the vehicle outer side with respect to the outer peripheral surface, and is provided radially outward with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the hub shaft. An outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements provided between the hub axle and the outer ring, an annular seal member attached to the outer ring, and an annular ring attached to the hub axle and in sliding contact with the seal member The slinger is arranged along a side surface of the flange portion that is fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the hub shaft in a tight-fitting state, and a side surface of the flange portion on the vehicle inner side. A plate portion, and an annular intermediate portion provided between an end portion of the cylindrical portion on the vehicle outer side and an inner peripheral end portion of the disc portion, and the intermediate portion is connected to the cylindrical portion. It is bent at the boundary and the vehicle outer side A first inclined portion having a tapered shape having a diameter, and a second inclined portion having a tapered shape that is bent at a boundary with the disk portion and has a larger diameter toward the vehicle outer side. The inclination angle of the cylindrical portion with respect to the inner peripheral surface is set larger than the inclination angle of the second inclined portion with respect to the side surface of the disc portion on the vehicle outer side.

本発明によれば、スリンガの円筒部と円板部との間の中間部は、円筒部との境界で屈曲されたテーパー状の第1傾斜部と、円板部との境界で屈曲されたテーパー状の第2傾斜部とを有し、第1傾斜部における円筒部の内周面に対する傾斜角度は、第2傾斜部における円板部の車両アウタ側の側面に対する傾斜角度よりも大きく設定されている。
そのため、円筒部をハブ軸の外周面に圧入して嵌合させるときに、第1傾斜部と第2傾斜部との圧縮応力差によってスリンガの剛性差(撓み性)が生じる。これにより、ハブ軸の外周面に対してスリンガの円筒部を嵌合させるときに、円筒部が塑性変形するのを抑制することができる。
According to the present invention, the intermediate portion between the cylindrical portion and the disc portion of the slinger is bent at the boundary between the tapered first tapered portion bent at the boundary with the cylindrical portion and the disc portion. A second inclined portion having a tapered shape, and an inclination angle of the first inclined portion with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion is set to be larger than an inclination angle of the disk portion of the second inclined portion with respect to the side surface on the vehicle outer side. ing.
Therefore, when the cylindrical portion is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface of the hub shaft to be fitted, a slinger rigidity difference (flexibility) is generated due to a compressive stress difference between the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion. Thereby, when fitting the cylindrical part of a slinger with the outer peripheral surface of a hub axis | shaft, it can suppress that a cylindrical part deform | transforms plastically.

前記中間部は、前記第1傾斜部と前記第2傾斜部との間に1以上の折れ点を有するのが好ましい。この場合、スリンガの中間部は1以上の折れ点を有するので、折れ点が無い場合と比較すると、スリンガの剛性が弱くなって撓み易くなる。その結果、スリンガをハブ軸の外周面に容易に嵌合することができる。   The intermediate portion preferably has one or more break points between the first inclined portion and the second inclined portion. In this case, since the middle part of the slinger has one or more break points, the slinger is less rigid and more easily bent than when there is no break point. As a result, the slinger can be easily fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the hub axle.

本発明によれば、スリンガをハブ軸に嵌合させるときの塑性変形を抑制することができる。   According to the present invention, plastic deformation when the slinger is fitted to the hub shaft can be suppressed.

以下、図面を参照しつつ本発明の実施形態を説明する。
図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る車輪用軸受装置の断面図である。この車輪用軸受装置(ハブユニット)10は、例えば自動車の車体側の懸架装置(ナックル)に取り付けられ、車輪を回転自在に支持するものである。車輪用軸受装置10は、ハブ軸11と、外輪12と、転動体13と、保持器14と、密封装置15,17とを備えている。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a wheel bearing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The wheel bearing device (hub unit) 10 is attached to, for example, a suspension device (knuckle) on the vehicle body side of an automobile, and rotatably supports the wheel. The wheel bearing device 10 includes a hub shaft 11, an outer ring 12, a rolling element 13, a cage 14, and sealing devices 15 and 17.

外輪12は、円筒状の部材であり、例えば機械構造用炭素鋼により製造されている。外輪12は、円筒形状である外輪本体51と、この外輪本体51から径方向外側に延びて設けられている固定用のフランジ部52とを有している。このフランジ部52が車体側部材であるナックル(図示せず)に固定されることで、外輪12を含む車輪用軸受装置10はナックルに固定される。   The outer ring 12 is a cylindrical member and is made of, for example, carbon steel for machine structure. The outer ring 12 includes an outer ring main body 51 having a cylindrical shape, and a fixing flange portion 52 provided to extend radially outward from the outer ring main body 51. By fixing the flange portion 52 to a knuckle (not shown) that is a vehicle body side member, the wheel bearing device 10 including the outer ring 12 is fixed to the knuckle.

車輪用軸受装置10が車体側に固定された状態で、ハブ軸11が有する後述の車輪取り付け用のフランジ部56側が車両の外側となる。つまり、図1の左側(フランジ部56側)が車両アウタ側となり、図1の右側が車両インナ側となる。また、図1の左右方向が車輪用軸受装置10の軸方向となる。   In a state where the wheel bearing device 10 is fixed to the vehicle body side, a later-described wheel mounting flange portion 56 side of the hub shaft 11 is the outside of the vehicle. That is, the left side (flange portion 56 side) in FIG. 1 is the vehicle outer side, and the right side in FIG. 1 is the vehicle inner side. 1 is the axial direction of the wheel bearing device 10.

外輪12の内周面には、車両アウタ側の外輪軌道面12aと、車両インナ側の外輪軌道面12bとが形成されている。   On the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 12, an outer ring raceway surface 12a on the vehicle outer side and an outer ring raceway surface 12b on the vehicle inner side are formed.

ハブ軸11は、軸本体部55と、車輪取り付け用のフランジ部56と、内輪部材57とを有している。これらは、例えば機械構造用炭素鋼により製造されている。軸本体部55は軸方向に長い軸部材である。フランジ部56は、軸本体部55の外周面よりも車両アウタ側から径方向外側に延びて設けられており、円環形状を有している。フランジ部56には、周方向に沿って複数の穴が形成されており、この穴に、車輪取り付け用のボルト69が取り付けられている。フランジ部56には、図外の車輪の他にブレーキロータが取り付けられる。内輪部材57は、環状の部材であり、軸本体部55の車両インナ側に嵌合して取り付けられている。軸本体部55の車両アウタ側の外周面に軸軌道面11aが形成され、内輪部材57の外周面に内輪軌道面11bが形成されている。   The hub shaft 11 includes a shaft main body portion 55, a flange portion 56 for attaching a wheel, and an inner ring member 57. These are made of, for example, carbon steel for mechanical structures. The shaft main body 55 is a shaft member that is long in the axial direction. The flange portion 56 is provided so as to extend radially outward from the outer side of the shaft main body portion 55 from the vehicle outer side, and has an annular shape. A plurality of holes are formed in the flange portion 56 along the circumferential direction, and wheel mounting bolts 69 are attached to the holes. A brake rotor is attached to the flange portion 56 in addition to a wheel (not shown). The inner ring member 57 is an annular member and is fitted and attached to the vehicle inner side of the shaft main body portion 55. The shaft raceway surface 11 a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft main body 55 on the vehicle outer side, and the inner ring raceway surface 11 b is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring member 57.

車両アウタ側の外輪軌道面12aと軸軌道面11aとが径方向に対向し、車両インナ側の外輪軌道面12bと内輪軌道面11bとが径方向に対向し、車両アウタ側及びインナ側それぞれの軌道面間に転動体13である玉が配置されている。転動体(玉)13は二列設けられており、各列の転動体(玉)13は、環状の保持器14によって保持されている。ハブ軸11と外輪12との間に複数の転動体13が設けられていることで、外輪12は、ハブ軸11(軸本体部55)の径方向外側においてハブ軸11と同心状に設けられた構成となる。   The outer ring raceway surface 12a and the axial raceway surface 11a on the vehicle outer side face in the radial direction, the outer ring raceway surface 12b on the vehicle inner side and the inner ring raceway surface 11b face in the radial direction, respectively on the vehicle outer side and the inner side. Balls that are rolling elements 13 are arranged between the raceway surfaces. Two rows of rolling elements (balls) 13 are provided, and the rolling elements (balls) 13 in each row are held by an annular cage 14. Since the plurality of rolling elements 13 are provided between the hub shaft 11 and the outer ring 12, the outer ring 12 is provided concentrically with the hub shaft 11 on the radially outer side of the hub shaft 11 (shaft body 55). It becomes the composition.

車両アウタ側の保持器14は、車両アウタ側に位置する転動体列に含まれる複数の転動体13を、周方向に間隔をあけて保持する。車両インナ側の保持器14は、車両インナ側に位置する転動体列に含まれる複数の転動体13を、周方向に間隔をあけて保持する。保持器14は、例えば樹脂製とすることができる。   The retainer 14 on the vehicle outer side holds the plurality of rolling elements 13 included in the rolling element row located on the vehicle outer side at intervals in the circumferential direction. The retainer 14 on the vehicle inner side holds the plurality of rolling elements 13 included in the rolling element row located on the vehicle inner side at intervals in the circumferential direction. The cage 14 can be made of resin, for example.

車両インナ側の密封装置17は、環状のシール部材40と、環状のスリンガ50とによって構成されている。シール部材40は、外輪12(外輪本体51)の内周側であって車両インナ側に嵌合して取り付けられている。スリンガ50は、内輪部材57の外周面に締り嵌めの状態で嵌合して取り付けられている。シール部材40(シール部材40のリップ)が、スリンガ50に滑り接触(摺接)することで、車両インナ側の外部から異物が軸受内部に浸入するのを抑制することができる。軸受内部とは、ハブ軸11と外輪12との間であって、二列の転動体13が設けられている領域である。   The vehicle inner side sealing device 17 includes an annular seal member 40 and an annular slinger 50. The seal member 40 is fitted and attached to the inner side of the outer ring 12 (outer ring main body 51) and the vehicle inner side. The slinger 50 is fitted and attached to the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring member 57 in an interference fit state. The sealing member 40 (the lip of the sealing member 40) is in sliding contact (sliding contact) with the slinger 50, so that foreign matter can be prevented from entering the bearing from the outside on the vehicle inner side. The inside of the bearing is an area between the hub shaft 11 and the outer ring 12 where two rows of rolling elements 13 are provided.

車両アウタ側の密封装置15は、環状のシール部材20と、環状のスリンガ30とによって構成されている。シール部材20は、外輪12(外輪本体51)の内周側であって車両アウタ側に嵌合して取り付けられている。図2は、密封装置15を示す拡大断面図である。スリンガ30は、軸本体部55の外周面であって車両アウタ側に締り嵌めの状態で嵌合して取り付けられている。シール部材20のリップ21aが、スリンガ30に滑り接触(摺接)することで、車両アウタ側の外部から異物が軸受内部に浸入するのを抑制することができる。   The vehicle outer side sealing device 15 includes an annular seal member 20 and an annular slinger 30. The seal member 20 is fitted and attached to the inner side of the outer ring 12 (outer ring main body 51) and the vehicle outer side. FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the sealing device 15. The slinger 30 is fitted and attached to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft main body 55 on the vehicle outer side in an interference fit state. Since the lip 21a of the seal member 20 is in sliding contact (sliding contact) with the slinger 30, it is possible to suppress foreign matter from entering the inside of the bearing from the outside on the vehicle outer side.

シール部材20は、金属製の芯金25と、ゴム製のシール本体26とを有している。芯金25は、外輪12(外輪本体51)の車両アウタ側の端部12cの内周面に締り嵌めの状態で取り付けられている。シール本体26は、芯金25に固定(加硫接着)されており、スリンガ30に滑り接触する複数(図例では二つ)の第一のリップ21aと、軸本体部55に滑り接触する第二のリップ21bとを有している。   The seal member 20 includes a metal cored bar 25 and a rubber seal body 26.

It has a function to prevent this. The first lip 21a contacts the slinger 30 from the axial direction. The second lip 21b contacts the shaft main body portion 55 from the radial direction.

図2に示すシール本体26は、外輪12(外輪本体51)の車両アウタ側の端部12cの外周面に締め代を有して接触している第三のリップ22を更に有している。この第三のリップ22は、外輪12と芯金25との間を通って泥水等の異物が軸受内部に浸入するのを防ぐ機能を有している。   The seal main body 26 shown in FIG. 2 further includes a third lip 22 that is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the end 12c on the vehicle outer side of the outer ring 12 (outer ring main body 51) with a tightening margin. The third lip 22 has a function of preventing foreign matters such as muddy water from entering the bearing through the space between the outer ring 12 and the cored bar 25.

スリンガ30は、金属製の環状部材であり、本実施形態ではステンレス製(SUS430)である。スリンガ30は、円筒部(第一の円筒部)31、円板部32、及び円筒部31の車両アウタ側の端部と円板部32の内周端部との間に設けられた環状の中間部33を有している。円筒部31は、円筒状の部材であり、軸本体部55における車両アウタ側の一部(29)の外周面28に締り嵌めの状態で嵌合している。   The slinger 30 is a metal annular member, and is made of stainless steel (SUS430) in this embodiment. The slinger 30 is a circular portion provided between a cylindrical portion (first cylindrical portion) 31, a disc portion 32, and an end portion on the vehicle outer side of the cylindrical portion 31 and an inner peripheral end portion of the disc portion 32. An intermediate portion 33 is provided. The cylindrical portion 31 is a cylindrical member, and is fitted to the outer peripheral surface 28 of a part (29) of the shaft main body portion 55 on the vehicle outer side in an interference fit state.

円板部32は、円環状の平板部材であり、円筒部31の車両アウタ側の端部から中間部33を介して径方向外側に延びている。円板部32は、フランジ部56の車両インナ側の側面56aに沿って配置され、当該側面56aに当接している。なお、前記側面56aは、車輪用軸受装置10の軸線に対して直角に形成されている。   The disc portion 32 is an annular flat plate member, and extends radially outward from the end portion of the cylindrical portion 31 on the vehicle outer side via the intermediate portion 33. The disc part 32 is arrange | positioned along the side surface 56a by the side of the vehicle inner of the flange part 56, and is contact | abutting to the said side surface 56a. The side surface 56a is formed at right angles to the axis of the wheel bearing device 10.

スリンガ30は、更に、円板部32の径方向外側の端部32aから車両インナ側に延びている第二の円筒部35を有している。この第二の円筒部35は、シール部材20の第三のリップ22の径方向外側に位置している。第二の円筒部35と第三のリップ22との間にラビリンス隙間が形成されており、このラビリンス隙間は、第一のリップ21aとスリンガ30との滑り接触部分に、外部から泥水等の異物が浸入するのを抑制する機能を有している。   The slinger 30 further has a second cylindrical portion 35 extending from the radially outer end 32a of the disc portion 32 toward the vehicle inner side. The second cylindrical portion 35 is located on the radially outer side of the third lip 22 of the seal member 20. A labyrinth gap is formed between the second cylindrical portion 35 and the third lip 22, and this labyrinth gap is formed in the sliding contact portion between the first lip 21 a and the slinger 30 from the outside such as muddy water. It has a function to suppress the intrusion.

以上のように、この車輪用軸受装置10では、外輪12の車両アウタ側の内周側の一部(端部12c)に取り付けられている環状のシール部材20と、ハブ軸11の車両アウタ側の外周側の一部(29)に取り付けられている環状のスリンガ30とを備えており、シール部材20(リップ21a)がスリンガ30に滑り接触する。スリンガ30は、ハブ軸11の車両アウタ側の外周側の一部(29)に締り嵌めの状態で嵌合して取り付けられている。ハブ軸11のうち、スリンガ30(円筒部31)が密着して嵌合することで取り付けられている部分(前記一部)を「取り付け部29」と呼ぶ。取り付け部29の外周面28は、ハブ軸11(車輪用軸受装置10)の軸線を中心線とする円筒面からなる。   As described above, in the wheel bearing device 10, the annular seal member 20 attached to a part (end portion 12 c) of the outer ring 12 on the vehicle outer side on the vehicle outer side, and the vehicle outer side of the hub axle 11. An annular slinger 30 attached to a part (29) on the outer peripheral side of the seal member 20 is provided, and the seal member 20 (lip 21a) is in sliding contact with the slinger 30. The slinger 30 is fitted and attached to a part (29) of the outer peripheral side of the hub axle 11 on the vehicle outer side in an interference fit state. Of the hub shaft 11, a part (the part) attached by the slinger 30 (cylindrical part 31) being closely fitted and fitted is referred to as an “attachment part 29”. The outer peripheral surface 28 of the attachment portion 29 is formed of a cylindrical surface whose center line is the axis of the hub shaft 11 (the wheel bearing device 10).

図3は、スリンガ30の中間部33を示す拡大断面図である。中間部33は、取り付け部29の外周面28とフランジ部56の側面56aとの間に形成された凹アール形状の曲面58に対応して配置されている。そして、中間部33はシール部材20(図2参照)が直接当接しない領域とされている。本実施形態の中間部33は、円筒部31との境界において屈曲して形成されたテーパー状の第1傾斜部36と、円板部32との境界において屈曲して形成されたテーパー状の第2傾斜部37とを有している。   FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the intermediate portion 33 of the slinger 30. The intermediate portion 33 is disposed corresponding to a concave round-shaped curved surface 58 formed between the outer peripheral surface 28 of the attachment portion 29 and the side surface 56 a of the flange portion 56. The intermediate portion 33 is a region where the seal member 20 (see FIG. 2) does not directly contact. The intermediate portion 33 of the present embodiment includes a tapered first inclined portion 36 formed by bending at the boundary with the cylindrical portion 31 and a tapered first portion formed by bending at the boundary with the disc portion 32. 2 inclined portions 37.

第1傾斜部36は、車両インナ側から車両アウタ側に向かうに従って大径となるように傾斜しており、円筒部31の内周面に対して所定の傾斜角度θ1で傾斜している。第2傾斜部37も、車両インナ側から車両アウタ側に向かうに従って大径となるように傾斜しており、円板部32の車両アウタ側の側面に対して所定の傾斜角度θ2で傾斜している。第1傾斜部36の傾斜角度θ1は、第2傾斜部37の傾斜角度θ2よりも大きく設定されている。本実施形態では、傾斜角度θ1は30°に設定され、傾斜角度θ2は20°に設定されている。   The first inclined portion 36 is inclined so as to have a larger diameter from the vehicle inner side toward the vehicle outer side, and is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle θ1 with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 31. The second inclined portion 37 is also inclined so as to increase in diameter from the vehicle inner side toward the vehicle outer side, and is inclined at a predetermined inclination angle θ2 with respect to the side surface of the disc portion 32 on the vehicle outer side. Yes. The inclination angle θ1 of the first inclined part 36 is set to be larger than the inclination angle θ2 of the second inclined part 37. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle θ1 is set to 30 °, and the inclination angle θ2 is set to 20 °.

第1傾斜部36と第2傾斜部37との境界には屈曲部38が一体に形成されている。したがって、本実施形態の中間部33は、第1傾斜部36と第2傾斜部37との間に1つの折れ点である屈曲部38を有している。   A bent portion 38 is integrally formed at the boundary between the first inclined portion 36 and the second inclined portion 37. Therefore, the intermediate portion 33 of the present embodiment has a bent portion 38 that is one folding point between the first inclined portion 36 and the second inclined portion 37.

以上、本実施形態の車輪用軸受装置10によれば、スリンガ30の円筒部31と円板部32との間の中間部33は、円筒部31との境界で屈曲されたテーパー状の第1傾斜部36と、円板部32との境界で屈曲されたテーパー状の第2傾斜部37とを有する。そして、第1傾斜部36における円筒部31の内周面に対する傾斜角度θ1は、第2傾斜部37における円板部32の車両アウタ側の側面に対する傾斜角度θ2よりも大きく設定されている。   As described above, according to the wheel bearing device 10 of the present embodiment, the intermediate portion 33 between the cylindrical portion 31 and the disc portion 32 of the slinger 30 is a tapered first bent at the boundary with the cylindrical portion 31. An inclined portion 36 and a tapered second inclined portion 37 bent at the boundary between the disc portion 32 are provided. The inclination angle θ1 of the first inclined portion 36 with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 31 is set to be larger than the inclination angle θ2 of the second inclined portion 37 with respect to the side surface of the disc portion 32 on the vehicle outer side.

そのため、円筒部31を取り付け部29の外周面28に圧入して嵌合させるときに、第1傾斜部36と第2傾斜部37との圧縮応力差によってスリンガ30の剛性差(撓み性)が生じる。これにより、ハブ軸11の取り付け部29の外周面28に対してスリンガ30の円筒部31を嵌合させるときに、円筒部31が塑性変形するのを抑制することができる。なお、前記傾斜角度θ1よりも前記傾斜角度θ2を大きく設定した場合、円筒部30を取り付け部29の外周面28に圧入して嵌合させるときに、スリンガ30が突っ張って前記圧縮応力差が生じないため、スリンガ30の剛性差を得ることができない。   Therefore, when the cylindrical portion 31 is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface 28 of the attachment portion 29 to be fitted, the rigidity difference (flexibility) of the slinger 30 is caused by the difference in compressive stress between the first inclined portion 36 and the second inclined portion 37. Arise. Thereby, when fitting the cylindrical part 31 of the slinger 30 with respect to the outer peripheral surface 28 of the attaching part 29 of the hub axle 11, it can suppress that the cylindrical part 31 deforms plastically. When the inclination angle θ2 is set larger than the inclination angle θ1, the slinger 30 is stretched when the cylindrical portion 30 is press-fitted into the outer peripheral surface 28 of the attachment portion 29 to cause the compressive stress difference. Therefore, the rigidity difference of the slinger 30 cannot be obtained.

また、スリンガ30の中間部33は、第1傾斜部36と第2傾斜部37との間に折れ点(屈曲部)38を有するので、折れ点が無い場合と比較すると、スリンガ30の剛性が弱くなって撓み易くなる。その結果、スリンガ30をハブ軸11の前記外周面28に容易に嵌合することができる。   Moreover, since the intermediate part 33 of the slinger 30 has a fold point (bent part) 38 between the first inclined part 36 and the second inclined part 37, the rigidity of the slinger 30 is less than that when there is no fold point. It becomes weak and becomes easy to bend. As a result, the slinger 30 can be easily fitted to the outer peripheral surface 28 of the hub shaft 11.

図4は、スリンガ30の中間部33の変形例を示す拡大断面図である。この中間部33は、第1傾斜部36と第2傾斜部37との間に折れ点(屈曲部)を有していない。すなわち、本変形例では、第1傾斜部36と第2傾斜部37とが直線状に連続して傾斜している。そして、本変形例においても、第1傾斜部36の傾斜角度θ1は、第2傾斜部37の傾斜角度θ2よりも大きく設定されている。図例では、傾斜角度θ1は55°に設定され、傾斜角度θ2は35°に設定されている。このため、上記実施形態と同様に、ハブ軸11の軸本体部55の外周面28に対してスリンガ30の円筒部31を嵌合させるときに、円筒部31が塑性変形するのを抑制することができる。   FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a modification of the intermediate portion 33 of the slinger 30. The intermediate portion 33 does not have a folding point (bent portion) between the first inclined portion 36 and the second inclined portion 37. That is, in this modification, the 1st inclination part 36 and the 2nd inclination part 37 incline linearly continuously. Also in this modified example, the inclination angle θ1 of the first inclined portion 36 is set to be larger than the inclination angle θ2 of the second inclined portion 37. In the illustrated example, the inclination angle θ1 is set to 55 °, and the inclination angle θ2 is set to 35 °. For this reason, similarly to the above embodiment, when the cylindrical portion 31 of the slinger 30 is fitted to the outer peripheral surface 28 of the shaft main body portion 55 of the hub shaft 11, the cylindrical portion 31 is prevented from being plastically deformed.
