Description

この発明はクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手に関するもので、たとえば、自動車、鉄道車両、各種産業機械の駆動系において利用することができる。   The present invention relates to a cross-groove type constant velocity universal joint, and can be used in, for example, drive systems of automobiles, railway vehicles, and various industrial machines.

クロスグルーブ型等速自在継手は、対をなす内輪のボール溝と外輪のボール溝が軸線に対して互いに逆方向に傾斜しており、両ボール溝の交差部にトルク伝達ボールを保持するようになっている。このような構造であるため、トルク伝達ボールとボール溝との間のがたつきを少なくすることができ、特に、がたつきを嫌う自動車のプロペラシャフトやドライブシャフト等に多用されている。   In the cross groove type constant velocity universal joint, the ball groove of the inner ring and the ball groove of the outer ring that form a pair are inclined in opposite directions with respect to the axis, and the torque transmission ball is held at the intersection of both ball grooves. It has become. Because of such a structure, rattling between the torque transmitting ball and the ball groove can be reduced, and in particular, it is frequently used for propeller shafts, drive shafts and the like of automobiles that do not like rattling.

図1を参照して説明すると、互いに逆方向に傾斜した内輪2のボール溝2a(またはボール溝2b)と外輪4のボール溝4a(またはボール溝4b)が対をなし、対をなすボール溝2aとボール溝4aまたはボール溝2bとボール溝4bの交差部にトルク伝達ボール6が組み込んである。外輪4の一方の、図1(A)では左側の端面に、継手内部に充填したグリースの漏洩を防止するためのエンドプレート10が装着してある。また、外輪4のもう一方の端面には、ブーツアダプタ12が装着してある。エンドプレート10とブーツアダプタ12は、外輪4のボール溝4a,4bの開口端部に対向する位置に、ぬすみ部10cが形成してある。ぬすみ部10cは、トルク伝達ボール6がボール溝に沿って転動する際、ボール溝の端部まで転動してきたトルク伝達ボールの一部を受け入れることにより、できるだけ長い転動ストロークを許容する。図1のクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手は図1(B)からわかるように6個のトルク伝達ボール6を用いるものであるが、この場合、エンドプレート(図2)およびブーツアダプタ(図3)には、互いに独立した6つのぬすみ部10c,12cが等配してある。
特開2006−132669
Referring to FIG. 1, the ball groove 2a (or ball groove 2b) of the inner ring 2 and the ball groove 4a (or ball groove 4b) of the outer ring 4 that are inclined in opposite directions form a pair, and the ball grooves forming a pair. A torque transmitting ball 6 is incorporated at the intersection of 2a and the ball groove 4a or the ball groove 2b and the ball groove 4b. An end plate 10 for preventing leakage of grease filled in the joint is attached to one end of the outer ring 4 on the left end face in FIG. A boot adapter 12 is attached to the other end face of the outer ring 4. The end plate 10 and the boot adapter 12 are formed with a slack portion 10 c at a position facing the open ends of the ball grooves 4 a and 4 b of the outer ring 4. When the torque transmitting ball 6 rolls along the ball groove, the thinning portion 10c accepts a part of the torque transmitting ball that has rolled to the end of the ball groove, thereby allowing a rolling stroke as long as possible. The cross groove type constant velocity universal joint of FIG. 1 uses six torque transmitting balls 6 as can be seen from FIG. 1B. In this case, the end plate (FIG. 2) and the boot adapter (FIG. 3) are used. In the figure, six blind portions 10c and 12c which are independent from each other are equally arranged.
JP 2006-132669 A

従来、トルク伝達ボールの数は6が一般的であったが、その場合、引っ掛かりが生じ、作業性が悪化するという問題があった。そのため、特許文献1ではトルク伝達ボールの数を8以上に増やすことを提案している。トルク伝達ボールの数を増やしたクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手でも、エンドプレートやブーツアダプタのぬすみ部とトルク伝達ボールを干渉させてスライドを規制している。それゆえ、エンドプレートとブーツアダプタのぬすみ部もトルク伝達ボールの数だけ存在する。ところが、エンドプレートとブーツアダプタの成型はプレスによる絞りであることから、円周上にぬすみ個所が多いとプレス金型への負荷が大きくなり、精度よく形状を成型できないという問題がある。この問題点を除去することがこの発明の主要な目的である。   Conventionally, the number of torque transmitting balls is generally six, but in this case, there is a problem that the catching occurs and workability is deteriorated. Therefore, Patent Document 1 proposes increasing the number of torque transmission balls to 8 or more. Even in a cross-groove type constant velocity universal joint with an increased number of torque transmission balls, the sliding of the end plate and the boot adapter is prevented by interfering with the torque transmission balls. Therefore, the end plate and the boot adapter have a thin portion corresponding to the number of torque transmission balls. However, since the molding of the end plate and the boot adapter is performed by pressing, there is a problem that if there are many thin spots on the circumference, the load on the press mold increases and the shape cannot be molded with high accuracy. It is the main object of the present invention to eliminate this problem.

この発明のクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手は、軸線に対して互いに逆方向に傾斜したボール溝を円周方向に交互に形成した外周面を有する内輪と、軸線に対して互いに逆方向に傾斜したボール溝を円周方向に交互に形成した内周面を有する外輪と、軸線に対して互いに逆方向に傾斜した内輪のボール溝と外輪のボール溝との交差部に組み込んだトルク伝達ボールと、内輪の外周面と外輪の内周面との間に介在してトルク伝達ボールを円周方向で所定間隔に保持するケージと、外輪に装着して内部に充填したグリースの漏洩を防止するためのエンドプレートとを有し、前記エンドプレートがトルク伝達ボールを受け入れるためのぬすみ部をボール毎に有し、隣り合った2つのぬすみ部が連通していることを特徴とするものである。 The cross groove type constant velocity universal joint according to the present invention includes an inner ring having an outer peripheral surface in which ball grooves inclined in opposite directions with respect to the axis are alternately formed in a circumferential direction, and inclined in directions opposite to each other with respect to the axis. An outer ring having an inner peripheral surface in which ball grooves are alternately formed in the circumferential direction, a torque transmission ball incorporated at the intersection of the inner ring ball groove and the outer ring ball groove inclined in opposite directions with respect to the axis, and A cage that is interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring and holds the torque transmitting balls at a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction, and for preventing leakage of grease that is mounted on the outer ring and filled inside. An end plate, the end plate has a slack portion for receiving a torque transmitting ball for each ball, and two adjacent slack portions communicate with each other.

たとえば、6個のトルク伝達ボールを用いるクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手の場合、隣り合った2つのぬすみ部を連通させると、ぬすみ部の数は3となる。10個のトルク伝達ボールを用いるクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手の場合、隣り合った2つのぬすみ部を連通させると、ぬすみ部の数は5となる(請求項3) For example, in the case of a cross-groove type constant velocity universal joint using six torque transmission balls, the number of the relief portions becomes 3 when two adjacent relief portions are communicated with each other. In the case of a cross groove type constant velocity universal joint using ten torque transmitting balls, the number of the nudging portions becomes 5 when two adjacent napping portions are communicated with each other (claim 3) .

請求項2の発明は、請求項1のクロスグルーブ型等速自在継手において、前記外輪の前記エンドプレートとは反対側に装着するブーツアダプタを有し、前記ブーツアダプタがトルク伝達ボールを受け入れるためのぬすみ部をボール毎に有し、隣り合った2つのぬすみ部が連通していることを特徴とするものである。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the cross groove type constant velocity universal joint according to the first aspect of the present invention, the cross groove type constant velocity universal joint has a boot adapter mounted on the opposite side of the outer ring from the end plate, and the boot adapter receives a torque transmitting ball. A thin portion is provided for each ball, and two adjacent thin portions are communicated with each other.

この発明によれば、エンドプレートやブーツアダプタの円周上に配置するぬすみ部の数を減らし、各ぬすみ部に2以上のトルク伝達ボールが入ってスライドを規制する構造となる。したがって、各ぬすみ部を大きくすることが可能となり、成型時の金型への負担を軽減することができる。   According to the present invention, the number of blind portions arranged on the circumference of the end plate or the boot adapter is reduced, and two or more torque transmission balls are placed in each blind portion to restrict the slide. Therefore, it is possible to increase the size of each blind portion, and it is possible to reduce the burden on the mold during molding.

以下、図面に従って本発明の実施の形態を説明する。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

図1に示すように、クロスグルーブ型等速自在継手は、内輪2と外輪4とトルク伝達ボール6とケージ8を有し、この発明の対象であるエンドプレート10およびブーツアダプタ12は外輪4の両側に装着される。   As shown in FIG. 1, the cross-groove type constant velocity universal joint includes an inner ring 2, an outer ring 4, a torque transmission ball 6 and a cage 8.
