【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、使用時に歯の端部で応力集中したり、片当たりすることを防ぐクラウニングを施した樹脂クラウニング成形歯車に関し、詳細には樹脂歯車などの成形歯車に関して、歯先円直径が外周両端部で中央部より小さくなる形状の歯車を容易に成形する技術に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術及び発明が解決しようとする課題】
成形歯車において、一般に歯筋形状精度を高精度に成形することは難しく、歯筋中央部のひけや、歯筋の傾きなどが生じやすい。このため、歯面端のエッジ部での応力集中やそれによって生じる歯車の傾き、送りむら、摩耗、騒音などが問題となる。
【0003】
また、歯車の形状精度だけでなく、歯車軸の組み付け誤差や、軸間の平行度誤差により、歯車の噛み合い面に傾きが生じ前述と同様の問題が発生する。
【0004】
これを解決するために、歯先円直径が外周両端部で中央部より小さくなる形状の歯車が提案されているが、一般の射出成形においては、外周面内にて型を分割しなければ、成形品を取り出せない形状なので、外周面の形状や精度を要する歯車においては成形加工が困難である。
【0005】
ここで従来における歯車の問題点を列挙すると、
(1)歯筋形状が平らな場合、
(2)歯筋形状がわずかに傾いている場合、
(3)歯筋形状の両端部がやや凸になっている場合、
(4)歯筋形状が凹状になっている場合、
(5)軸がわずかに傾いている場合、
(6)2軸の平行度がずれている場合
があるが、(2)〜(6)の場合に接触歯面は相手歯面との接触において面端のエッジ部での片当たり、応力集中やそれによって生じる部品の傾き、回転むら、摩耗、騒音などが問題となる。この問題は歯筋形状をクラウニング形状にすることによって回避することができる。
【0006】
図1は歯車リムの断面図である。図中1は歯面、2はリムで、Wは歯幅、tはリム厚、θはリム2面のテーパー角度である。また図2はクラウニング形状とした歯の外形を示す斜視図である。Sはクラウニング量である。
【0007】
特開平5−237889号公報には、成形工程中に歯筋の方向に金型を動かして樹脂を圧縮する射出圧縮成形において、クラウニング歯車を成形する技術が開示されているが、型内の樹脂を圧縮する際に既に固化した部分と溶融状態の樹脂部分の樹脂圧力差が圧縮によってさらに顕著になるため、得られる成形品には歪みや残留応力が残り、寸法の経時変化などの問題が発生する。
【0008】
本発明は、射出成形、あるいは低圧射出成形によって、樹脂に高圧をかけることなく成形することによって、上記従来の課題を解決し、クラウニング歯形状を有していない金型においても、簡単に歯筋面形状が外周両端部で中央部より低くなるクラウニング形状を有する歯車を成形できる成形品形状および成形方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の請求項1に係る樹脂クラウニング歯車成形品の成形方法は、上記目的を達成するために、 流動性を有する樹脂をクラウニング歯形状を持たない型の中に封入し、該型中で固化させることによって得られ、歯車回転軸を含む断面の形状が歯幅W=12mm、リム厚t=2.1mm、リム面のテーパー角度θ=10°、歯車の径φ=100mm、モジュールm=0.5で、かつ動力伝達面である歯面の基準ピッチ円上の歯筋形状が歯幅中央部から歯端部へ曲面状に低くなる形状の樹脂クラウニング歯車成形品の成形方法であって、上記樹脂がポリアセタール樹脂であり、リム近傍のウェブ面に有する未転写部のひけ深さを調節することによってクラウニング量を調節することを特徴とする。
【0022】
本発明では、樹脂の収縮特性を利用した成形品形状によって歯筋端部の収縮を促進し、歯面がクラウニング形状になる現象を利用することによって、射出圧縮などのように特別な成形機や特別な成形法を用いることなく、低圧条件下においても、容易にクラウニング歯筋形状を有する歯車を成形するものである。
【0023】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して説明する。なお以下では従来と共通する部分には共通する符号を付すにとどめ重複する説明は省略する。
【0024】
図3に本発明に係る樹脂歯車成形方法の一実施形態による成形品形状の例を示す。一般のギヤに見られるリム断面形状(図3A)は、断面T字部中央の樹脂が最も冷えにくく、最後に冷え固まる際に周囲の樹脂をひっぱるため、歯筋中央部がひけ易くなり、歯筋形状は凹形状となる。これに対し、本実施形態のリム断面形状(図3B)においては、リム2の厚みtが厚く、リム2端部のテーパー角度θが大きいため、リム2厚み方向の樹脂収縮、及びリム2表面の樹脂収縮によって歯表面端部がひっぱられる現象が起こる。これによって、歯筋の両端部が下がりクラウニング形状が得られる。
【0025】
ポリアセタール樹脂を用いた成形例を説明する。図3Cのリム断面形状例において、得られた歯筋誤差のデータは、
歯幅W=12mm
リム厚t=2.1mm
リム面のテーパー角度θ=10°
歯車の径φ=100mm
モジュールm=0.5
であった。PVでクラウニング量S=約40μmのクラウニング形状が得られた例である。
【0026】
また、成形加工時に歯面以外の特定の面にひけを発生させることによって、さらに、クラウニングの量Sを変えることができる。特に、金型内にエアを導入する手法により、発生させるひけの深さを調節することによって、クラウニングの量を調節することが可能である。これによって、設計ニーズに応じた必要量のクラウニング形状を有する歯車を成形することができる。図4は、エアの導入によって、ウェブ部にひけを誘導した例を示す。図中3は成形樹脂、4、5は金型、6はエア導入孔である。この場合、任意の箇所にひけを誘導することができ、より容易に大きなクラウニング量Sを得られ、軸の平行度誤差等が大きい場合にも、広く対応できるようになる。ただし、図4(B)に示すようにエア導入孔6(あるいはスリット)の跡7が成形品に残る。
【0027】
また保圧などの成形条件によって、クラウニングの量を調節することができる。この関係を図5に示す。本実施形態の歯形状においては、成形の保圧工程の圧力が低いほど、樹脂の収縮率が大きくなるためクラウニング量Sが大きくなる。
【0028】
すなわち本実施形態の歯車のリム形状は、歯幅Wに対して、リム厚tが厚くなるにつれて、リム厚方向の収縮量が大きくなり、この方向の収縮は冷却しやすいリム2の両端部から固化が始まり、さらにリム2裏のテーパー角度θが大きくなるにつれて、半固化状態の表面層の収縮によるリム部表面層の張力を歯面1が受けやすくなり、その結果、歯筋端部がより張力を強く受けて凸曲面上になるというものである。
【0029】
一般の歯車のリム形状は、先にも述べたように、加熱された溶融樹脂は熱変形温度以下の温度の型によって、冷却され、固化し、型内の樹脂は型と接する表層部から冷却が進み固化し始め、固化した部分は体積収縮を伴うため、圧力が低下し、形状的に最も厚肉となる部分(中心部、T字部、リブの根本など)は冷却が最も遅く、最後に固化するので、このとき圧力の低下によって、まわりの樹脂を引っ張る力が生じ、もっともひっぱられやすい部分の樹脂がこの部分に引っ張られ、型の表面から樹脂表面が離れると、型への熱の伝導(冷却)が妨げられ、樹脂温が下がり難くなり、厚肉中心(高温部)からの熱により、温度上昇も起こり、樹脂粘度も下がって動き易くなるため、これによって、ひけ現象がより顕著になる。本実施形態は、選択的ひけ誘導を行う。ひけ発生位置の制御をおこなわない通常の成形においては、成形品の形状、厚み、縦横の比率などによって、ひけの発生位置が決まる。これに対して、本実施形態においては、型の中にひけ誘導手段を設けることによって、樹脂の冷却時に特定の箇所にひけのきっかけを与えてやる。すなわち、樹脂表面が型面から離れるきっかけを与える。この場合、厚肉中心部が冷却されて収縮する際に、この部分の樹脂に熱がこもり易く、低粘度で樹脂が動きやすいので、ひけがその部分に優先的に発生することになる。
【0030】
このとき、ひけ表面部の半固化状態の樹脂の引力、及びひけ部分の樹脂を補おうとする力によって、ひけ面の隣接面である歯面の樹脂が引っ張られる。その結果、歯面端部がクラウニング形状となる。この引力による形状変化の大きさ及び影響範囲は、ひけの大きさやひけ部分の肉厚、断面形状によって異なる。すなわち選択的ひけ誘導によるクラウニング化の促進である。
【0031】
また本実施形態のリム形状によりクラウニング歯面が得られる成形金型において、さらに、歯の隣接面などにひけを誘導することによって、ひけ表面部の半固化状態の樹脂の引力、及びひけ部分の樹脂を補おうとする力によってひけ面の隣接面である歯面の樹脂が引っ張られる。その結果、歯面クラウニング量をさらに増大させることができる。この引力による形状変化の大きさ、および影響範囲は、ひけの大きさやひけ部分の肉厚、断面形状によって異なる。
【0032】
本実施形態の樹脂歯車成形品においては、歯車回転軸を含む断面の形状がリム2の厚みt、歯幅Wにおいて、1/6×W<tで、かつリム2裏面のテーパー角度θが10°以上となるリム部の形状を有するクラウニング歯車成形品である。この歯車成型品は、上述のように、通常の成形機にて射出圧縮などを用いることなく、クラウニング歯形状を持たない型にて、容易に安く成形することができる。また、低圧成形条件にて成形できるので、省エネルギー化、型の耐久性向上の効果も得られる。クラウニング形状によって、使用時に軸の平行度誤差などがある場合にも、歯面の片当たりなどによる歯面端部での応力集中やそれによって生じる歯車の傾き、送りむら、摩耗、騒音などの問題を防ぐことができる。
【0033】
また本実施形態の樹脂歯車成形品においては、基準ピッチ円上の歯筋形状が凸曲面であり、クラウニング量Sが歯幅Wに対して、3×10E−4×W<S<7×10E−3×Wであるので、使用時に軸の平行度誤差などがある場合にも、歯面1の片当たりなどによる歯面1端部での応力集中や、それによって生じる歯車の傾き、送りむら、摩耗、騒音等が生じない。
【0034】
また図6に示すように、歯面に隣接する面に未転写部8を有することになるので、より容易に大きなクラウニング量Sを得ることができ、軸の平行度誤差などが大きい場合にも、広く対応できるクラウニング歯車が得られる。
【0035】
また、図7に示すように歯面1の裏側となるリム2の下面に未転写部8を有するようにして、より容易に大きなクラウニング量Sを得ることができ、軸の平行度誤差などが大きい場合にも、広く対応できるクラウニングギヤを得ることができる。
【0036】
さらに、図8に示すようにリム2近傍のウェブ面に未転写部8を有するようにして、より容易に大きなクラウニング量Sを得ることができ、軸の平行度誤差などが大きい場合にも、広く対応できるクラウニングギヤを得られる。
【0037】
な樹脂に結晶性樹脂を用いると、その成形工程における結晶化収縮が大きいので、大きなクラウニング量Sを容易に得ることができる。 また、上述した未転写部8のひけ深さを調節によるクラウニング量Sの調節幅も大きく確保することができる。
【0038】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る樹脂クラウニング歯車成形品の成形方法は、以上説明してきたように、樹脂の収縮特性を利用した成形品形状によって歯筋端部の収縮を促進し、歯面がクラウニング形状になる現象を利用することによって、射出圧縮などのように特別な成形機や特別な成形法を用いることなく、低圧条件下においても、容易にクラウニング歯筋形状を有する歯車を成形することができ、それによって、歪みや残留応力が少なく、寸法の経時変化などが少ない高精度の成形品を切削加工やその他の加工より安く得ることが可能となり、また成形加工時に歯面以外の特定の面にひけを発生させることによって、さらにクラウニングの量を変えることができ、特に、金型内にエアを導入する手法によって、発生させるひけの深さを調節することによって、クラウニングの量を調節することを可能となり、これによって設計ニーズに応じた必要量のクラウニング形状を有する歯車を成形することができるという多くの効果がある。
【0039】
また、通常の成形機にて射出圧縮などを用いることなく、クラウニング歯形状を持たない型によって容易に安く成形することができ、低圧成形条件にて成形できるので、省エネルギー化、型の耐久性向上の効果も得られるという効果がある。また、使用時に軸の平行度誤差などがある場合にも、歯面の方当たりなどによる歯面端部での応力集中やそれによって生じる歯車の傾き、送りむら、摩耗、騒音などの問題を防ぐことができるクラウニング形状とすることができ、さらに、よりいっそう容易に大きなクラウニング量を得ることができることで、軸の平行度誤差などが大きい場合にも、広く対応できるクラウニングギヤを得ることができるという効果や、用途に応じたクラウニング量を有するギヤを簡単に得ることができ、また一つの金型で異なるクラウニング量を有するギヤを混合生産することができるという効果もある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a resin crowned molded gear that is provided with a crowning that prevents stress concentration at the end portion of the tooth during use or prevents contact with one piece. The present invention relates to a technology for easily forming a gear having a shape smaller than that of a central portion.
[0002]
[Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention]
In a formed gear, it is generally difficult to form the tooth trace shape with high accuracy, and sinking in the center of the tooth trace, inclination of the tooth trace, or the like is likely to occur. For this reason, the stress concentration at the edge portion of the tooth surface end, the inclination of the gear caused by the stress, uneven feeding, wear, noise, and the like become problems.
[0003]
Further, not only the gear shape accuracy but also the gear shaft assembly error and the parallelism error between the shafts cause an inclination on the meshing surface of the gear, resulting in the same problem as described above.
[0004]
In order to solve this, a gear having a shape in which the tip diameter is smaller than the central portion at both ends of the outer periphery has been proposed, but in general injection molding, if the mold is not divided within the outer peripheral surface, Since the molded product cannot be taken out, it is difficult to mold the gear that requires the shape and accuracy of the outer peripheral surface.
[0005]
Here is a list of problems with conventional gears:
(1) If the tooth trace shape is flat,
(2) If the tooth trace shape is slightly inclined,
(3) When both ends of the tooth trace shape are slightly convex,
(4) If the tooth trace shape is concave,
(5) If the shaft is slightly tilted,
(6) Although the parallelism of the two axes may be shifted, in the cases (2) to (6), the contact tooth surface is in contact with the mating tooth surface, and the contact concentration at the edge portion of the surface end is stress concentration. In addition, there are problems such as inclination, rotation unevenness, wear, and noise caused by the components. This problem can be avoided by making the tooth trace shape a crowning shape.
[0006]
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a gear rim. In the figure, 1 is the tooth surface, 2 is the rim, W is the tooth width, t is the rim thickness, and θ is the taper angle of the rim 2 surface. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an outer shape of a tooth having a crowning shape. S is the crowning amount.
[0007]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-237889 discloses a technique for molding a crowning gear in injection compression molding in which a mold is moved in the direction of the tooth trace during the molding process to compress the resin. Since the difference in resin pressure between the already solidified part and the molten resin part becomes more noticeable due to the compression when compressing the material, distortion and residual stress remain in the resulting molded product, causing problems such as changes in dimensions over time. To do.
[0008]
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems by molding without applying high pressure to the resin by injection molding or low-pressure injection molding, and even in a mold that does not have a crowning tooth shape, It is an object of the present invention to provide a molded product shape and a molding method capable of molding a gear having a crowning shape in which the surface shape is lower than the central portion at both outer peripheral ends.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to claim 1 of the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a resin crowning gear molded article molding method includes enclosing a fluid resin in a mold having no crowning tooth shape and solidifying the mold in the mold. is thereby obtained, et al is by cross-sectional shape tooth width W = 12 mm, including a gear rotation shaft, RimuAtsu t = 2.1 mm, the taper angle theta = 10 ° of the rim surface, the diameter of the gear phi = 100 mm, module m = A method of forming a resin crowned gear molded product having a shape in which the tooth trace shape on the reference pitch circle of the tooth surface, which is a power transmission surface, is 0.5 curved in a curved shape from the center portion of the tooth width to the tooth end portion, The resin is a polyacetal resin, and the crowning amount is adjusted by adjusting the sink depth of the untransferred portion on the web surface in the vicinity of the rim .
[0022]
In the present invention, by using the phenomenon that the contraction of the tooth trace is promoted by the shape of the molded product utilizing the shrinkage characteristic of the resin and the tooth surface becomes a crowning shape, a special molding machine such as injection compression is used. without using a special molding method, even in low-pressure conditions, Ru Monodea molding a gear with readily crowning tooth trace shape.
[0023]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, common parts are denoted by common reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.
[0024]
FIG. 3 shows an example of a molded product shape according to an embodiment of the resin gear molding method of the present invention. The rim cross-sectional shape (Fig. 3A) found in general gears is that the resin at the center of the T-shaped section is the most difficult to cool, and when the resin cools and hardens at the end, the surrounding resin is pulled easily. The streak shape is a concave shape. In contrast, in the rim cross-sectional shape of the present embodiment (FIG. 3B), the thickness t of the rim 2 is large and the taper angle θ at the end of the rim 2 is large. The tooth surface edge is pulled by the resin shrinkage. As a result, both ends of the tooth trace are lowered to obtain a crowning shape.
[0025]
A molding example using a polyacetal resin will be described. In the rim cross-sectional shape example of FIG. 3C, the obtained tooth trace error data is
Tooth width W = 12mm
Rim thickness t = 2.1mm
Rim surface taper angle θ = 10 °
Gear diameter φ = 100mm
Module m = 0.5
Met. This is an example in which a crowning shape with PV crowning amount S = about 40 μm was obtained.
[0026]
Moreover, the amount S of crowning can be further changed by generating sink marks on a specific surface other than the tooth surface during molding. In particular, it is possible to adjust the amount of crowning by adjusting the depth of sink marks generated by introducing air into the mold. As a result, a gear having a necessary amount of crowning shape according to the design needs can be formed. FIG. 4 shows an example in which sink marks are induced in the web portion by introducing air. In the figure, 3 is a molding resin, 4 and 5 are molds, and 6 is an air introduction hole. In this case, sink marks can be induced at an arbitrary location, a large crowning amount S can be obtained more easily, and a wide range of cases can be dealt with even when the parallelism error of the axis is large. However, as shown in FIG. 4B, traces 7 of the air introduction holes 6 (or slits) remain in the molded product.
[0027]
The amount of crowning can be adjusted by molding conditions such as holding pressure. This relationship is shown in FIG. In the tooth shape of the present embodiment, the lower the pressure in the pressure-holding step of molding, the greater the shrinkage rate of the resin, so the crowning amount S increases.
[0028]
That is, the rim shape of the gear of the present embodiment increases the amount of contraction in the rim thickness direction as the rim thickness t increases with respect to the tooth width W, and the contraction in this direction starts from both ends of the rim 2 that is easy to cool. As the solidification starts and the taper angle θ on the back of the rim 2 is further increased, the tooth surface 1 becomes more susceptible to the tension of the rim surface layer due to the contraction of the semi-solidified surface layer. It receives the tension strongly and becomes a convex curved surface.
[0029]
As described above, the rim shape of a general gear is such that the heated molten resin is cooled and solidified by a mold having a temperature equal to or lower than the thermal deformation temperature, and the resin in the mold is cooled from the surface layer portion in contact with the mold. Since the solidified part is accompanied by volume shrinkage, the pressure decreases, and the part that is thickest in shape (center part, T-shaped part, rib root, etc.) is the slowest to cool down, and finally At this time, the pressure drop causes a pulling force of the surrounding resin, and the most easily pulled part of the resin is pulled to this part. Conduction (cooling) is hindered, making it difficult for the resin temperature to fall, and heat from the thick-walled center (high-temperature part) causes a rise in temperature, making the resin viscosity lower and making it easier to move. become. In this embodiment, selective sink induction is performed. In normal molding in which the sink generation position is not controlled, the sink generation position is determined by the shape, thickness, aspect ratio of the molded product, and the like. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, sinks are given to specific places when the resin is cooled by providing sink guide means in the mold. That is, the resin surface is triggered to leave the mold surface. In this case, when the thick central portion is cooled and contracts, heat easily accumulates in the resin in this portion, and the resin moves easily with low viscosity. Therefore, sink marks are preferentially generated in the portion.
[0030]
At this time, the resin of the tooth surface adjacent to the sink surface is pulled by the attractive force of the resin in the semi-solid state of the sink surface portion and the force to supplement the resin of the sink portion. As a result, the end of the tooth surface becomes a crowning shape. The magnitude of the shape change due to the attractive force and the range of influence vary depending on the size of the sink, the thickness of the sink, and the cross-sectional shape. That is, promotion of crowning by selective sink induction.
[0031]
Further, in the molding die in which the crowning tooth surface can be obtained by the rim shape of the present embodiment, by further inducing sink marks on the adjacent surface of the teeth, the attractive force of the resin in the semi-solid state of the sink surface portion and the sink portion The resin on the tooth surface, which is the adjacent surface of the sink surface, is pulled by the force to supplement the resin. As a result, the amount of tooth surface crowning can be further increased. The magnitude of the shape change due to the attractive force and the range of influence vary depending on the size of the sink, the thickness of the sink, and the cross-sectional shape.
[0032]
In the resin gear molded product of the present embodiment, the shape of the cross section including the gear rotation shaft is 1/6 × W <t at the thickness t and the tooth width W of the rim 2, and the taper angle θ on the back surface of the rim 2 is 10. This is a crowned gear molded product having a rim shape that is at least °. As described above, the gear-molded product can be easily and inexpensively molded with a mold having no crowning tooth shape without using injection compression or the like in a normal molding machine. In addition, since molding can be performed under low-pressure molding conditions, effects of energy saving and improved mold durability can be obtained. Even if there is an error in the parallelism of the shaft due to the crowning shape, problems such as stress concentration at the end of the tooth surface due to contact with the tooth surface and the resulting gear inclination, uneven feeding, wear, noise, etc. Can be prevented.
[0033]
Further, in the resin gear molded product of the present embodiment, the tooth trace shape on the reference pitch circle is a convex curved surface, and the crowning amount S is 3 × 10E−4 × W <S <7 × 10E with respect to the tooth width W. Since it is −3 × W, even if there is an error in the parallelism of the shaft during use, the stress concentration at the end of the tooth surface 1 due to contact with the piece of the tooth surface 1, etc. No wear or noise.
[0034]
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, since the untransferred portion 8 is provided on the surface adjacent to the tooth surface, a large crowning amount S can be obtained more easily, and even when the parallelism error of the axis is large. A crowning gear that can be widely used is obtained.
[0035]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the untransferred portion 8 is provided on the lower surface of the rim 2 which is the back side of the tooth surface 1, so that a large crowning amount S can be obtained more easily, and the parallelism error of the shaft is caused. Even when it is large, a crowning gear that can be widely used can be obtained.
[0036]
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the web surface in the vicinity of the rim 2 has the untransferred portion 8 so that a large amount of crowning S can be obtained more easily. A crowning gear that can be used widely can be obtained.
[0037]
When a crystalline resin is used as the resin, the crystallization shrinkage in the molding process is large, so that a large crowning amount S can be easily obtained. Further, a large adjustment range of the crowning amount S by adjusting the sink depth of the untransferred portion 8 described above can be secured.
[0038]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the molding method of the resin crowned gear molded product according to the present invention is a phenomenon in which the tooth surface ends are crowned by accelerating the contraction of the tooth trace ends by the molded product shape utilizing the shrinkage characteristics of the resin. Can be used to easily form a gear having a crowned tooth trace shape even under low pressure conditions without using a special molding machine or special molding method such as injection compression. It is possible to obtain a high-precision molded product with less distortion and residual stress, less dimensional change, etc. at a lower cost than cutting and other processing, and sinks occur on specific surfaces other than the tooth surface during molding. The amount of crowning can be further changed by adjusting the depth of generated sink marks, particularly by introducing air into the mold. , It becomes possible to adjust the amount of crowning, thereby there are many effects that can be shaped gear having a required amount of the crowning shape corresponding to the design needs.
[0039]
In addition , it can be easily molded cheaply with a mold that does not have a crowning tooth shape without using injection compression on a normal molding machine, and can be molded under low-pressure molding conditions, saving energy and improving mold durability. The effect is also obtained. Further, even if there is such axial parallelism errors during use, the inclination of the gear caused such by stress concentration and that of the tooth surface end by contact towards the tooth surface, feed unevenness, wear, problems such as noise A crowning shape that can be prevented can be obtained, and a larger crowning amount can be obtained more easily, so that it is possible to obtain a crowning gear that can be widely used even when the parallelism error of the shaft is large. There is also an effect that a gear having a crowning amount according to the application can be easily obtained, and a gear having different crowning amounts can be mixedly produced in one mold.
