Description

この発明は、自動車等の駆動輪となる車輪を回転自在に支持する車輪用軸受装置、およびその加締加工方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a wheel bearing device that rotatably supports a wheel serving as a driving wheel of an automobile or the like, and a caulking method thereof.

従来、駆動輪支持用の車輪用軸受装置として、図5に示すものが提案されている(例えば特許文献1)。これは、外方部材21と内方部材22の対向する軌道面23,24間に複列にボール25を介在させ、上記内方部材22を、車輪取付用ハブフランジ29aを外周に有するハブ輪29と、このハブ輪29のインボード側端の外周に嵌合した内輪30とで構成した形式のものである。ハブ輪29の中央孔31には、等速ジョイントの外輪33のステム部33aが挿通されてスプライン嵌合され、等速ジョイント外輪33の段面33bが内輪30のインボード側端面30aに押し当てられる。この状態で、前記ステム部33a先端にナット34を螺合させることにより、等速ジョイント外輪33とナット34とで内方部材22が幅締めされる。   Conventionally, what is shown in FIG. 5 is proposed as a wheel bearing device for driving wheel support (for example, patent document 1). This is because the balls 25 are interposed in double rows between the raceway surfaces 23 and 24 where the outer member 21 and the inner member 22 face each other, and the inner member 22 is a hub wheel having a wheel mounting hub flange 29a on the outer periphery. 29 and an inner ring 30 fitted to the outer periphery of the inboard side end of the hub wheel 29. The stem portion 33a of the outer ring 33 of the constant velocity joint is inserted into the central hole 31 of the hub wheel 29 and is splined, and the step surface 33b of the constant velocity joint outer ring 33 is pressed against the inboard side end surface 30a of the inner ring 30. It is done. In this state, the inner member 22 is tightened by the constant velocity joint outer ring 33 and the nut 34 by screwing the nut 34 into the distal end of the stem portion 33a.

この提案例では、ハブ輪29のインボード側端部の外周に形成した段部35に内輪30を外嵌させると共に、内輪30のインボード側端部の内周に段部36を形成し、ハブ輪29のインボード側端を外径側に拡径変形させて前記内輪30の段部36に加締めている。これにより、車両への組付け時に発生する外力による内輪30の抜けを防止している。
特開平9−164803号公報
In this proposed example, the inner ring 30 is externally fitted to the step 35 formed on the outer periphery of the end portion on the inboard side of the hub wheel 29, and the step portion 36 is formed on the inner periphery of the end portion on the inboard side of the inner ring 30. The inboard side end of the hub wheel 29 is expanded and deformed to the outer diameter side and is crimped to the step portion 36 of the inner ring 30. As a result, the inner ring 30 is prevented from coming off due to an external force generated at the time of assembly to the vehicle.
JP-A-9-164803

しかし、上記した車輪用軸受装置では、以下のような問題がある。
(1)ハブ輪29の加締部29bが大きいため、図5の一部を拡大して示す図6のように、内輪30のインボード側端部に形成する段部36の径方向段差を、半径差で5〜7mm程度とする必要が有る。このように段部36の段差を大きくすると、内輪30のインボード側端面30aの面積が小さくなるので、等速ジョイント外輪33の段面33bとの接触面圧が大きくなる。そのため、摩耗や異音の発生の原因となる。
(2)ハブ輪29の加締部29bを内輪30のインボード側端より内側(アウトボード側)に収めようとすると、図6のように内輪30の段部36の軸方向長さを7〜8mm程度にする必要が有る。このように内輪段部36の軸方向長さが長くなると、ボール接触角の延長線上に内輪段部36が位置する傾向があり、運転時の負荷荷重による内輪変形が大きくなって短寿命となる可能性がある。また、内輪段部36の軸方向長さが長くなると、それだけハブ輪29に対する内輪30の嵌め合い長さ(面積)が減少するので、内輪クリープが発生し、軸受寿命が低下する可能性がある。これらの問題は、内輪全体の幅寸法を長くすれば回避できるが、それでは軸方向に余分なスペースが必要になる。
(3)また、ハブ輪29の加締部29bが大きいことから、揺動加締加工において、加締工具が内輪30と干渉し、加工が困難である。
However, the above-described wheel bearing device has the following problems.
(1) Since the caulking portion 29b of the hub wheel 29 is large, the radial step of the step portion 36 formed at the end portion on the inboard side of the inner ring 30 is shown in FIG. The radius difference needs to be about 5 to 7 mm. When the step of the stepped portion 36 is increased in this way, the area of the inboard side end surface 30a of the inner ring 30 is reduced, so that the contact surface pressure with the stepped surface 33b of the constant velocity joint outer ring 33 is increased. Therefore, it causes wear and abnormal noise.
(2) If the caulking portion 29b of the hub ring 29 is to be stored inside (outboard side) from the inboard side end of the inner ring 30, the axial length of the step portion 36 of the inner ring 30 is set to 7 as shown in FIG. It needs to be about ~ 8mm. As described above, when the axial length of the inner ring step portion 36 is increased, the inner ring step portion 36 tends to be positioned on the extended line of the ball contact angle, and deformation of the inner ring due to a load load during operation increases, resulting in a short life. there is a possibility. Further, when the axial length of the inner ring step portion 36 is increased, the fitting length (area) of the inner ring 30 with respect to the hub ring 29 is reduced accordingly, so that inner ring creep occurs and the bearing life may be reduced. . These problems can be avoided by increasing the width of the entire inner ring, but this requires extra space in the axial direction.
(3) Further, since the caulking portion 29b of the hub wheel 29 is large, the caulking tool interferes with the inner ring 30 in the swing caulking process, and the machining is difficult.

この発明の目的は、軸受機能へ悪影響を及ぼすことなく、車両への組立工程における内輪抜けを防止でき、特に低い加工力で加締加工が可能な車輪用軸受装置およびその加締加工方法を提供することである。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a wheel bearing device and a caulking method therefor that can prevent the inner ring from slipping off during the assembly process to the vehicle without adversely affecting the bearing function and that can be caulked with a particularly low machining force. It is to be.

この発明の車輪用軸受装置は、内周に複列の軌道面を有する外方部材と、これら軌道面に対向する軌道面を有する内方部材と、対向する軌道面間に介在した複列の転動体とを備え、上記内方部材が、車輪取付用のハブフランジを外周に有し中心に貫通孔を有するハブ輪と、このハブ輪のインボード側端の外周に設けられた内輪嵌合面部に嵌合した内輪とでなり、これらハブ輪および内輪に前記各列の軌道面を形成した駆動輪支持用の車輪用軸受装置において、次の構成としたものである。
すなわち、前記内輪の内周面に、この内輪のインボード側の端面まで続き、この端面の内周縁に相当する深さの段差部を設ける。前記ハブ輪の加締加工により前記内輪の前記段差部の軸方向に向く段面に係合する加締部を設け、この加締部は前記内輪の端面から突出しないものとする。前記ハブ輪の前記貫通孔は、等速自在継手のステム部の外周のスプラインと噛み合うスプライン溝を内周面に有し、前記貫通孔の内周面における前記スプライン溝が形成された一般径部分よりもインボード側の部分を、インボード側端の大径段差部と、この大径段差部よりも小径で前記一般径部分よりも大径となる中間径段差部とでなる2段の段付き形状とする。前記加締部は、加締加工前は内径面が前記大径段差部の一部となる円筒状部分であって、この円筒状部分が拡径状態に加締められた部分である。また、前記ハブ輪の前記中間径段差部を、前記内輪の段差部の軸方向位置よりも軸方向に深い位置とする。換言すれば、前記ハブ輪の前記中間径段差部のインボード側端を、前記内輪の段差部のアウトボード側端の軸方向位置よりもアウトボード側の位置とする。
The wheel bearing device of the present invention includes an outer member having a double-row raceway surface on the inner periphery, an inner member having a raceway surface facing these raceway surfaces, and a double-row interposed between the opposing raceway surfaces. A rolling ring, and the inner member has a hub flange for mounting a wheel on the outer periphery and a through hole in the center, and an inner ring fitting provided on the outer periphery of the inboard side end of the hub ring. The wheel bearing device for driving wheel support, which is composed of an inner ring fitted to the surface portion and in which the raceway surfaces of each row are formed on the hub wheel and the inner ring, has the following configuration.
That is, a step portion having a depth corresponding to the inner peripheral edge of the end surface is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring up to the end surface on the inboard side of the inner ring. A caulking portion that engages with a step surface of the inner ring facing in the axial direction is provided by caulking processing of the hub ring, and the caulking portion does not protrude from the end surface of the inner ring. The through hole of the hub wheel has a spline groove that meshes with a spline on the outer periphery of the stem portion of the constant velocity universal joint, and a general diameter portion in which the spline groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole. The inboard side portion is a two-stage step consisting of a large diameter step portion at the end of the inboard side and an intermediate diameter step portion having a smaller diameter than the large diameter step portion and a larger diameter than the general diameter portion. It shall be the per shape. The caulking portion is a cylindrical portion whose inner diameter surface becomes a part of the large diameter step portion before caulking, and the cylindrical portion is a portion caulked in an expanded state. Also, the intermediate-diameter step difference portion of the hub wheel, shall be the deeper in the axial direction than the axial position of the inner ring of the stepped portion. In other words, the inboard side end of the intermediate diameter step portion of the hub wheel is positioned on the outboard side relative to the axial position of the outboard side end of the step portion of the inner ring.

この構成によると、内輪の内周面に段差部を設け、ハブ輪の加締加工による加締部を前記段差部内に係合させるので、車両への組付工程において発生する外力による内輪のハブ輪からの抜けを防止できる。段差部は、内輪の内周縁というごく限られた範囲のものとしているので、内輪の抜け耐力を確保しながら、段差部をできるだけ小さなものとできる。このため、段差部を設けながら内輪の端面の面積の減少が少なく、等速自在継手の段面との接触面圧の増加が抑制され、内輪クリープ発生等による摩耗や異音の発生を防止できて軸受寿命低下を抑制できる。
貫通孔のインボード側端は2段の段付き形状としているので、中間径段差部が、等速ジョイント外輪のステム部を挿入するときの案内となり、組立性がより向上する。
特に、ハブ輪の中間径段差部を、内輪の段差部の軸方向位置よりも軸方向に深い位置としているので、加締金型で加締部の加締加工を行うとき、加締金型の先端の導入部を加締部を越えて奥まで導入しても、加締金型が中間径段差部と干渉せず、加締加工を円滑に行うことができる。そのため、例えば先端外周がテーパ状の加締金型を用いることなどで、低い加工荷重で加締部の成形が可能となり軸受への加締加工時の負荷を小さくできる。
このように、この車輪用軸受装置では、軸受機能へ悪影響を及ぼすことなく、車両への組立工程における内輪抜けを防止できる。

Since the stepped portion has a very limited range of the inner periphery of the inner ring, the stepped portion can be made as small as possible while ensuring the slip-off resistance of the inner ring. For this reason, there is little decrease in the area of the end surface of the inner ring while providing the stepped portion, the increase in contact surface pressure with the step surface of the constant velocity universal joint is suppressed, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of wear and noise due to the occurrence of inner ring creep, etc. Thus, it is possible to suppress a decrease in bearing life.
Since the inboard side end of the through hole has a two-stepped shape, the intermediate diameter step portion serves as a guide when inserting the stem portion of the constant velocity joint outer ring, and the assemblability is further improved.
In particular, since the intermediate diameter step of the hub ring is positioned deeper in the axial direction than the axial position of the step of the inner ring, the caulking die is used when caulking the caulking part with the caulking die. Even if the leading end introduction portion is introduced beyond the caulking portion, the caulking die does not interfere with the intermediate diameter step portion, and the caulking process can be performed smoothly. Therefore, for example, by using a caulking die having a tapered tip outer periphery, the caulking portion can be molded with a low machining load, and the load during caulking processing on the bearing can be reduced.
Thus, in this wheel bearing device, it is possible to prevent the inner ring from being lost in the assembly process to the vehicle without adversely affecting the bearing function.

The shape which consists of a taper-shaped part located in the inner periphery of a part may be sufficient.

Thus, by reducing the hardness of the crimped portion to HRC28 or less, the crimping can be performed with a lower processing load.

The inner surface of the stepped portion 16 has a shape including a straight portion 16a formed of a cylindrical surface and a stepped surface 16b facing in the axial direction. The step surface 16b is an inclined surface whose cross section along the bearing axial direction is a straight line or a curve. The step surface 16b may be a surface perpendicular to the axial direction.

ハブ輪9のインボード側端には、加締加工により内輪10の段差部16の軸方向に向く段面16bに係合する加締部9cが設けてある。なお、図2は加締部9cの加締加工前の状態を、図4は加締加工後の状態をそれぞれ示す。加締部9cは、内輪10の段差部16内をほぼ充足するが、内輪10の端面10aから突出しないものとしてある。加締部9cの硬度はHRC28以下とされている。   At the inboard side end of the hub wheel 9, a caulking portion 9 c that engages with a step surface 16 b facing the axial direction of the step portion 16 of the inner ring 10 by caulking is provided. 2 shows a state before the crimping process of the crimping portion 9c, and FIG. 4 shows a state after the crimping process. The caulking portion 9 c substantially fills the inside of the step portion 16 of the inner ring 10, but does not protrude from the end surface 10 a of the inner ring 10. The caulking portion 9c has a hardness of HRC28 or less.

上記加締加工は、図3に示す加締金型18を用いて行われる。加締金型18は、先端外周がテーパ状の押し当て面18aとされ、この押し当て面18aを加締部9cの円筒状部分の内周の開口縁に押し付け、加締部9cの円筒状部分を拡径状態に加締めることにより加締加工を行う。加締加工を可能とし、かつ連続した加工を可能とするために、加締金型18の硬度は、少なくとも加締部9cよりも硬度を大きくする必要がある。そこで、この実施形態では、加締金型18の素材として例えばHRC30以上の硬度とした鋼や超硬合金等を用いる。この他に、加締金型18は、表面処理により必要硬度とした材料を用いても良い。加締金型18における前記押し当て面18aの面粗さはRa1μm以下とされている。   The crimping process is performed using a crimping die 18 shown in FIG. The caulking die 18 has a pressing surface 18a whose outer periphery is tapered, and this pressing surface 18a is pressed against the opening edge of the inner periphery of the cylindrical portion of the caulking portion 9c to form the cylindrical shape of the caulking portion 9c. The caulking process is performed by caulking the part in an expanded state. In order to enable caulking and continuous machining, it is necessary that the hardness of the caulking die 18 be at least greater than that of the caulking portion 9c. Therefore, in this embodiment, steel, cemented carbide, or the like having a hardness of HRC30 or higher is used as the material of the crimping mold 18, for example. In addition, the caulking die 18 may be made of a material having a required hardness by surface treatment. The surface roughness of the pressing surface 18a in the caulking die 18 is set to Ra1 μm or less.

ハブ輪9の貫通孔11の内周面は、スプライン溝11aaの形成された一般径部分11aを有する。また、この一般径部分11aよりもインボード側の部分は、インボード側端の大径段差部11bと、この大径段差部11bよりも小径で前記一般的径部分11aのスプライン溝11aaの溝底径よりも大径となる中間径段差部11cとでなる2段の段付き形状とされている。さらに、中間径段差部11cのインボード側端が、内輪10の段差部16のアウトボード側端の軸方向位置Aよりもアウトボード側の位置Bとされている。 The inner peripheral surface of the through hole 11 of the hub wheel 9 has a general diameter portion 11a in which a spline groove 11aa is formed. In addition, the portion on the inboard side of the general diameter portion 11a includes a large-diameter step portion 11b at the end of the inboard side and a groove of the spline groove 11aa of the general diameter portion 11a having a smaller diameter than the large-diameter step portion 11b. A stepped shape with two steps is formed by an intermediate diameter step portion 11c having a diameter larger than the bottom diameter. Further, the inboard side end of the intermediate diameter step portion 11 c is set to a position B on the outboard side relative to the axial position A of the outboard side end of the step portion 16 of the inner ring 10.

この車輪用軸受装置の車両への組付けにおいては、等速ジョイント12の片方の継手部材となる外輪13のステム部13aをハブ輪9の貫通孔11に挿通させ、ステム部13aの外周のスプライン13aaと貫通孔11の内周面のスプライン溝11aaとをスプライン嵌合させ、ステム部13aの先端に螺合するナット14の締め付けにより、等速ジョイント外輪13を内方部材2に結合する。このとき、等速ジョイント外輪13に設けられたアウトボード側に向く段面13bが、内輪10のインボード側に向く端面10aに押し付けられ、等速ジョイント外輪13とナット14とで内方部材2が幅締めされる。
車輪取付用のハブフランジ9aはハブ輪9のアウトボード側端に位置しており、このハブフランジ9aにブレーキロータを介して車輪(いずれも図示せず)がボルト17で取付けられる。
In assembling the wheel bearing device to the vehicle, the stem portion 13a of the outer ring 13 serving as one joint member of the constant velocity joint 12 is inserted into the through hole 11 of the hub wheel 9, and the spline on the outer periphery of the stem portion 13a. 13 aa and the spline groove 11 aa on the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 11 are spline-fitted, and the constant velocity joint outer ring 13 is coupled to the inner member 2 by tightening a nut 14 that is screwed to the tip of the stem portion 13 a. At this time, the step surface 13 b facing the outboard side provided in the constant velocity joint outer ring 13 is pressed against the end surface 10 a facing the inboard side of the inner ring 10, and the inner member 2 is formed by the constant velocity joint outer ring 13 and the nut 14. Is tightened.
The hub flange 9a for wheel attachment is located at the end of the hub wheel 9 on the outboard side, and a wheel (not shown) is attached to the hub flange 9a with a bolt 17 via a brake rotor.

この構成の車輪用軸受装置によると、内輪10の内周面に段差部16を設け、ハブ輪9の加締加工による加締部9cを前記段差部16内に係合させたので、車両への組付工程において発生する外力による内輪10のハブ輪9からの抜けを防止できる。段差部16は、内輪10の内周縁というごく限られた範囲のものとしたため、内輪10の抜け耐力を確保しながら、段差部をできるだけ小さなものとできる。このため、段差部16を設けながら内輪10の端面の面積の減少が少なく、等速ジョイント外輪13の段面13bとの接触面圧の増加が抑制され、内輪クリープ発生等による摩耗や異音の発生を防止できて軸受寿命低下を抑制できる。
ハブ輪9の貫通孔11は、スプライン溝11aaが形成された一般径部分11aよりもインボード側の部分を、インボード側端の大径段差部11bと、この大径段差部11bよりも小径で前記一般径部分11aよりも大径となる中間径段差部11cとでなる2段の段付き形状としたため、中間径段差部11cが、等速ジョイント外輪13のステム部13aを挿入するときの案内となり、組立性がより向上する。
According to the wheel bearing device of this configuration, the step portion 16 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring 10 and the caulking portion 9c obtained by caulking the hub wheel 9 is engaged in the step portion 16, so that the vehicle It is possible to prevent the inner ring 10 from coming off from the hub wheel 9 due to an external force generated in the assembly process. Since the stepped portion 16 has a very limited range of the inner periphery of the inner ring 10, the stepped portion can be made as small as possible while ensuring the slip-off resistance of the inner ring 10. For this reason, there is little decrease in the area of the end surface of the inner ring 10 while providing the stepped portion 16, the increase in contact surface pressure with the step surface 13b of the constant velocity joint outer ring 13 is suppressed, and wear and noise due to the occurrence of inner ring creep etc. Occurrence can be prevented and bearing life reduction can be suppressed.
The through hole 11 of the hub wheel 9 has a portion on the inboard side with respect to the general diameter portion 11a in which the spline groove 11aa is formed, a large diameter step portion 11b on the inboard side end, and a smaller diameter than the large diameter step portion 11b. Therefore, when the intermediate diameter step portion 11c is inserted into the stem portion 13a of the constant velocity joint outer ring 13, the intermediate diameter step portion 11c has a two-step stepped shape. As a result, the assemblability is further improved.

中間径段差部11cは、内輪10の段差部16の軸方向位置Aよりも軸方向に深い位置Bとしているので、図3のように加締金型18で加締部9cの加締加工を行うときに、加締金型18の先端の導入部を加締部9cを越えて奥まで導入しても、加締金型18が中間径段差部11cと干渉せず、加締加工を円滑に行うことができる。そのため、加締金型18として先端外周がテーパ状の押し当て面18aとされたものを用いることができて、低い加工荷重で加締部9cの成形が可能となり、軌道面3,4やボール5への加締加工時の負荷を小さくできる。   Since the intermediate diameter step portion 11c is set to a position B deeper in the axial direction than the position A in the axial direction of the step portion 16 of the inner ring 10, the crimping portion 9c is crimped by the crimping die 18 as shown in FIG. Even when the leading end of the caulking die 18 is introduced beyond the caulking portion 9c when performing, the caulking die 18 does not interfere with the intermediate diameter step portion 11c and the caulking process is smooth. Can be done. Therefore, it is possible to use a caulking die 18 having a tapered pressing surface 18a at the outer periphery of the tip, and the caulking portion 9c can be formed with a low processing load. The load during caulking to 5 can be reduced.

この実施形態では、加締部9cの硬度をHRC28以下としていることからも、加締加工をより低い加工荷重で行うことができる。   In this embodiment, since the hardness of the caulking portion 9c is HRC28 or less, the caulking process can be performed with a lower processing load.

加締部9cの加締加工では、図2のように、加締加工前の加締部9cの内径面を、前記ハブ輪貫通孔11の大径段差部11bの一部となる円筒状部分とし、加締金型18の先端外周のテーパ状の押し当て面18aを前記円筒状部分の内周の開口縁に押し付けることにより、前記円筒状部分を拡径状態に加締めて加締部9cとするので、低い加工荷重で容易に加締加工を行うことができる。
この加締加工において、加締金型18は加締部9cに対して高い圧力で接するため、加工条件によっては、かじりや凝着などの発生により加締部9cの外観を損なう恐れがあり、場合によっては加締加工できなくなる恐れがある。しかし、この実施形態では、加締金型18の押し当て面18aの面粗さがRa1μm以下とされているので、加締部9cにかじりや凝着などによる外観上または加工上の不具合を発生させることなく、円滑に加締加工を行うことができる。
In the caulking process of the caulking portion 9c, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner diameter surface of the caulking portion 9c before caulking is a cylindrical portion that becomes a part of the large-diameter step portion 11b of the hub wheel through hole 11. And pressing the tapered pressing surface 18a on the outer periphery of the end of the caulking die 18 against the opening edge on the inner periphery of the cylindrical portion, thereby caulking the cylindrical portion into a diameter-expanded state and tightening portion 9c. Therefore, caulking can be easily performed with a low processing load.
In this caulking process, the caulking die 18 comes into contact with the caulking part 9c at a high pressure, and depending on the machining conditions, the appearance of the caulking part 9c may be impaired due to the occurrence of galling or adhesion. In some cases, caulking may not be possible. However, in this embodiment, since the surface roughness of the pressing surface 18a of the caulking die 18 is set to Ra1 μm or less, problems in appearance or processing due to galling or adhesion occur in the caulking portion 9c. It is possible to perform the caulking process smoothly without causing it.
