Description

本発明は、例えば自動車用エンジンの補機或いはカムシャフトを駆動する為の無端ベルトやタイミングベルト(以下、単に「ベルト」とする。)に所望の張力を付与する為に、或いはベルトの巻き掛け角を確保すべくこのベルトを案内する為に使用するアイドラプーリとして利用するプーリ装置の改良に関する。   The present invention provides, for example, an endless belt or timing belt (hereinafter simply referred to as a “belt”) for driving an auxiliary machine of an automobile engine or a camshaft, or a belt winding. The present invention relates to an improvement of a pulley device used as an idler pulley used to guide the belt to ensure a corner.

従来から、自動車用エンジンの補機或いはカムシャフトを駆動する為のベルトに所望の張力を付与する等の為のアイドラプーリとして、転がり軸受の外周側に、鋼板等の金属板にプレス加工を施して造ったものを、この転がり軸受を構成する外輪に外嵌固定する状態で設けた所謂プレスプーリが広く使用されている。又、転がり軸受を構成する外輪の周囲に、この外輪の外周寄り部分をその内周側にモールドした状態で一体的に固設した合成樹脂製プーリも使用されている。特に、近年は、この合成樹脂製プーリが、アイドラプーリの軽量化及び低コスト化を図れると言った理由により、その採用が増加しつつある。   Conventionally, a metal plate such as a steel plate is pressed on the outer peripheral side of a rolling bearing as an idler pulley for applying a desired tension to a belt for driving an auxiliary machine of an automobile engine or a camshaft. A so-called press pulley is widely used in which a product made in such a manner is fitted and fixed to an outer ring constituting the rolling bearing. A synthetic resin pulley is also used which is integrally fixed around the outer ring constituting the rolling bearing in a state in which a portion near the outer periphery of the outer ring is molded on the inner peripheral side. In particular, in recent years, the use of synthetic resin pulleys is increasing due to the reason that the idler pulleys can be reduced in weight and cost.

例えば、特許文献1には、図3〜6に示す様に、合成樹脂製のプーリ1を使用した張力付与装置2が記載されている。先ず、この張力付与装置2の構造に就いて、簡単に説明する。シリンダブロック等の固定の部分に結合固定するベースプレート3に形成した長孔4に沿う変位を自在とした支持軸5の基端部(図5の右端部)の頭部6に形成したねじ孔に、調整ボルト7の先端部を螺合させている。この調整ボルト7の基端部は、前記ベースプレート3の一端部(図5の上端部)に設けた折り曲げ板部8に形成した通孔9に挿通している。又、前記調整ボルト7の中間部でこの折り曲げ板部8よりも前記頭部6寄り部分には、調整ナット10とロックナット11とを螺合させている。   For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a tension applying device 2 using a pulley 1 made of synthetic resin as shown in FIGS. First, the structure of the tension applying device 2 will be briefly described. In a screw hole formed in the head portion 6 of the base end portion (right end portion in FIG. 5) of the support shaft 5 that can be freely displaced along the long hole 4 formed in the base plate 3 that is coupled and fixed to a fixed portion such as a cylinder block. The tip of the adjustment bolt 7 is screwed together. The base end portion of the adjustment bolt 7 is inserted into a through hole 9 formed in a bent plate portion 8 provided at one end portion (upper end portion in FIG. 5) of the base plate 3. Further, an adjustment nut 10 and a lock nut 11 are screwed into a portion closer to the head 6 than the bent plate portion 8 in the intermediate portion of the adjustment bolt 7.

又、前記支持軸5には、支持スリーブ12を介して、転がり軸受13の内輪14を支持している。単列深溝型のラジアル玉軸受であるこの転がり軸受13の外輪15の周囲には、合成樹脂製のプーリ1を固定している。このプーリ1は、互いに同心に設けられた内径側円筒部16及び外径側円筒部17を有する。この内径側円筒部16の中間部外周面と外径側円筒部17の中間部内周面とは、円輪状の連結部18により連結しており、この連結部18の両側面にそれぞれ複数本ずつの補強リブ19、19を、それぞれ放射状に設けている。   The support shaft 5 supports an inner ring 14 of a rolling bearing 13 via a support sleeve 12. A synthetic resin pulley 1 is fixed around the outer ring 15 of the rolling bearing 13 which is a single row deep groove type radial ball bearing. The pulley 1 has an inner diameter side cylindrical portion 16 and an outer diameter side cylindrical portion 17 provided concentrically with each other. The outer peripheral surface of the intermediate portion of the inner diameter side cylindrical portion 16 and the inner peripheral surface of the intermediate portion of the outer diameter side cylindrical portion 17 are connected by a ring-shaped connecting portion 18, and a plurality of both are provided on both side surfaces of the connecting portion 18. The reinforcing ribs 19 and 19 are provided radially.

この様なプーリ1は、前記内径側円筒部16を深溝型の転がり軸受13を構成する外輪15の周囲に、図6に示す様な射出成形用の金型20により、この外輪15の外周寄り部分をその内周側にモールドした状態で固設している。即ち、前記金型20内に設けた、前記プーリ1の外形に対応した内形を有するキャビティ21内に、図示しないゲートから溶融した熱可塑性樹脂を注入する。そして、この熱可塑性樹脂が冷却・固化した後に前記金型20を開いて、前記プーリ1を前記転がり軸受13と共に、前記キャビティ21内から取り出す。   Such a pulley 1 is configured such that the inner diameter side cylindrical portion 16 is placed around the outer ring 15 constituting the deep groove type rolling bearing 13 by an injection molding die 20 as shown in FIG. The portion is fixed in a state of being molded on the inner peripheral side. That is, molten thermoplastic resin is injected from a gate (not shown) into a cavity 21 provided in the mold 20 and having an inner shape corresponding to the outer shape of the pulley 1. After the thermoplastic resin is cooled and solidified, the mold 20 is opened, and the pulley 1 is taken out of the cavity 21 together with the rolling bearing 13.

上述の様なプーリ1を含んで構成する、前記張力付与装置2により、ベルトに所望の張力を付与するには、このベルトを、前記プーリ1の一部で、前記調整ナット10と反対側周面(図3の下面)に掛け渡す。そして、前記調整ナット10を回転させる事により前記プーリ1の位置を変えて、このプーリ1により前記ベルトに付与する張力を調節する。そして、この張力が所望値になった状態で、前記ロックナット11を締め付け、前記プーリ1の位置を固定する。   In order to apply a desired tension to the belt by the tension applying device 2 configured to include the pulley 1 as described above, the belt is partly connected to the adjustment nut 10 on the opposite side of the pulley 1. It spans the surface (the lower surface in FIG. 3). Then, the position of the pulley 1 is changed by rotating the adjusting nut 10, and the tension applied to the belt by the pulley 1 is adjusted. Then, in a state where the tension reaches a desired value, the lock nut 11 is tightened to fix the position of the pulley 1.

上述の様なプーリ1を構成する合成樹脂は、前記転がり軸受13の外輪15を構成する金属材料よりも線膨張係数が大きい。この為、プーリ装置の使用時の温度上昇により、前記プーリ1と前記外輪15との密着性が低下し、これらプーリ1と外輪15との間で相対的な滑り(クリープ)が発生する可能性がある。クリープが発生すると、前記プーリ1の内周面が摩耗し、このプーリ1が前記外輪15に対しがたついてしまう。この様な不都合の原因となるクリープを防止する為の技術として、例えば特許文献2に記載された技術がある。   The synthetic resin constituting the pulley 1 as described above has a larger linear expansion coefficient than the metal material constituting the outer ring 15 of the rolling bearing 13. For this reason, due to a temperature rise during use of the pulley device, the adhesion between the pulley 1 and the outer ring 15 may be reduced, and a relative slip (creep) may occur between the pulley 1 and the outer ring 15. There is. When creep occurs, the inner peripheral surface of the pulley 1 is worn, and the pulley 1 rattles against the outer ring 15. As a technique for preventing creep that causes such inconvenience, there is a technique described in Patent Document 2, for example.

図7〜8は、この特許文献2に記載されている、クリープを防止する為の従来構造の1例を示している。転がり軸受13(図3〜6参照)を構成する外輪15aの外周面に係止溝22を設けており、この係止溝22の底面に、ローレット加工による凹部23、23と凸部24、24とを全周に亙って交互に配置して成る、平目のローレット目25を形成している。そして、前記外輪15aの係止溝22の底面に形成した凹部23、23に、プーリ1aを構成する合成樹脂の一部を進入・固化させる事で、このプーリ1aの内周面に、それぞれが軸方向に長い突条26、26を形成している。これら各突条26、26と前記外輪15aのローレット目25との係合により、前記プーリ1aとこの外輪15aとの間でクリープが発生する事を防止している。   7 to 8 show an example of a conventional structure described in Patent Document 2 for preventing creep. A locking groove 22 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer ring 15a constituting the rolling bearing 13 (see FIGS. 3 to 6). On the bottom surface of the locking groove 22, concave portions 23, 23 and convex portions 24, 24 are formed by knurling. Are alternately arranged over the entire circumference to form flat knurled eyes 25. And by making some synthetic resin which comprises the pulley 1a approach and solidify into the recessed parts 23 and 23 formed in the bottom face of the latching groove | channel 22 of the said outer ring | wheel 15a, each is carried out to the inner peripheral surface of this pulley 1a. Long ridges 26, 26 are formed in the axial direction. The engagement between each of the protrusions 26 and 26 and the knurled eye 25 of the outer ring 15a prevents the occurrence of creep between the pulley 1a and the outer ring 15a.

但し、上述の様な特許文献2に記載されている従来構造では、前記ローレット目25の各凹部23、23及び凸部24、24の数、形状及び寸法を特に規制していなかった。この為、これら各凹部23、23の数が少なかったり、これら各凹部23、23の周方向長さが十分でないと、前記プーリ1aと前記外輪15aとの間に加わるトルク(クリープ荷重)を支承できなくなる可能性がある。又、前記各凹部23、23の数が多過ぎたり、これら各凹部23、23の径方向深さが大き過ぎると、前記プーリ1aを構成する合成樹脂の一部が、これら各凹部23、23内全体に行き渡らず、このプーリ1aの内周面と前記外輪15aの外周面との間に隙間が生じ、これらプーリ1aと外輪15aとががたついたり、これら両部材1a、15aの結合強度を十分に確保できなくなる可能性がある。   However, in the conventional structure described in Patent Document 2 as described above, the number, shape, and dimensions of the concave portions 23 and 23 and the convex portions 24 and 24 of the knurled eye 25 are not particularly restricted. For this reason, if the number of the recesses 23 and 23 is small or the circumferential length of the recesses 23 and 23 is not sufficient, a torque (creep load) applied between the pulley 1a and the outer ring 15a is supported. It may not be possible. If the number of the recesses 23 and 23 is too large, or if the depth in the radial direction of the recesses 23 and 23 is too large, a part of the synthetic resin constituting the pulley 1a may become part of the recesses 23 and 23. The inner circumference of the pulley 1a and the outer circumference of the outer ring 15a do not reach the entire inner surface, and a gap is formed between the pulley 1a and the outer ring 15a, or the coupling strength between the two members 1a and 15a. May not be sufficient.

図1〜2は、本発明に関連する参考例の1例を示している。尚、本参考例の特徴は、プーリと外輪との間でクリープが発生する事を確実に防止するプーリ装置を実現すべく、このプーリ装置の外輪15bの外周面の一部に設けたローレット目25aの凹部23a、23a及び凸部24a、24aの数、形状及び寸法を工夫した点にある。その他の部分の構造及び作用は、前述の図3〜6に示した構造を含め、従来から知られているプーリ装置と同様であるから、同等部分に関する図示並びに説明は、省略又は簡略にし、以下、本参考例の特徴部分を中心に説明する。 1 and 2 show an example of a reference example related to the present invention . The feature of the present reference example is that a knurled mesh provided on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the outer ring 15b of the pulley apparatus in order to realize a pulley apparatus that reliably prevents creep between the pulley and the outer ring. The number, shape, and dimensions of the concave portions 23a, 23a and the convex portions 24a, 24a of 25a are devised. Since the structure and operation of the other parts are the same as those of a conventionally known pulley device, including the structure shown in FIGS. 3 to 6 described above, the illustration and explanation of the equivalent parts are omitted or simplified. The description will focus on the features of this reference example .

本参考例のプーリ装置の転がり軸受13aを構成する外輪15bは、外径が35〜65mmで、外周面の一部に係止溝22aを設けている。そして、この係止溝22aの底面に、ローレット加工による凹部23a、23aと凸部24a、24aとを全周に亙って交互に配置して成る、ローレット目25aを形成している。そして、前記各凹部23a、23aに、プーリ1bを構成する合成樹脂の一部を進入・固化させる事で、このプーリ1bの内周面に、それぞれが軸方向に長い突条26a、26aを形成している。これら各突条26a、26aと前記外輪15bのローレット目25aとの係合により、前記プーリ1bとこの外輪15bとの間のクリープの発生を防止している。尚、前記ローレット目25aの幅W25は、外輪15bの幅をW15とした場合、0.10W15≦W25≦0.25W15とする。W25<0.10W15とした場合、前記プーリ1bとこの外輪15bとの間に加わるトルク(クリープ荷重)を支承できなくなる可能性があり、好ましくない。一方、W25>0.25W15とした場合、ローレット加工により前記ローレット目25aを形成する事が難しくなる。 The outer ring 15b constituting the rolling bearing 13a of the pulley apparatus of this reference example has an outer diameter of 35 to 65 mm and is provided with a locking groove 22a in a part of the outer peripheral surface. A knurled eye 25a is formed on the bottom surface of the locking groove 22a. The knurled eyes 25a are formed by alternately arranging concave portions 23a, 23a and convex portions 24a, 24a by knurling over the entire circumference. Then, by making a part of the synthetic resin constituting the pulley 1b enter and solidify into the recesses 23a and 23a, the long ridges 26a and 26a that are long in the axial direction are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the pulley 1b. doing. The engagement between each of the protrusions 26a, 26a and the knurled eye 25a of the outer ring 15b prevents the occurrence of creep between the pulley 1b and the outer ring 15b. The width W 25 of the knurls 25a, when the width of the outer ring 15b and the W 15, and 0.10W 15 ≦ W 25 ≦ 0.25W 15 . When W 25 <0.10 W 15 , it is not preferable because the torque (creep load) applied between the pulley 1b and the outer ring 15b may not be supported. On the other hand, when W 25 > 0.25W 15 , it is difficult to form the knurled eyes 25a by knurling.

このうち、前記各凹部23a、23aの数は、合計で50〜330個としている。この各凹部23a、23aの数、即ち、前記各突条26a、26aの数が50個未満の場合、これら各突条26a、26aの数が十分ではなくなり、前記プーリ1bと前記外輪15bとの間に加わるトルク(クリープ荷重)を支承できなくなる可能性がある。これに対して、前記各凹部23a、23aの数が330個を超えると、前記プーリ1bを構成する合成樹脂の一部を進入させようとしても、これら各凹部23a、23a全体にこの合成樹脂が行き渡らず、これら各凹部23a、23aの底面29、29と、前記各突条26a、26aの先端面との間に隙間が生じる可能性がある。又、これら各突条26a、26aの周方向長さが小さくなり、これら各突条26a、26aの強度が低くなる為、前記プーリ1bと前記外輪15bとの間に加わるトルク(クリープ荷重)を支承できなくなったり、このプーリ1bの耐久性を確保できない可能性がある。   Of these, the total number of the recesses 23a and 23a is 50 to 330. When the number of the recesses 23a, 23a, that is, the number of the protrusions 26a, 26a is less than 50, the number of the protrusions 26a, 26a is not sufficient, and the pulley 1b and the outer ring 15b There is a possibility that the torque (creep load) applied between them cannot be supported. On the other hand, if the number of the recesses 23a, 23a exceeds 330, even if a portion of the synthetic resin that constitutes the pulley 1b is allowed to enter, the synthetic resin is introduced into the entire recesses 23a, 23a. There is a possibility that a gap may be formed between the bottom surfaces 29 and 29 of the recesses 23a and 23a and the tip surfaces of the protrusions 26a and 26a. Further, since the circumferential lengths of the protrusions 26a and 26a are reduced and the strength of the protrusions 26a and 26a is reduced, a torque (creep load) applied between the pulley 1b and the outer ring 15b is applied. There is a possibility that it cannot be supported or the durability of the pulley 1b cannot be secured.

又、前記各凹部23a、23aの内側面のうち、前記各凸部24a、24aの先端面27、27との連続部に、周方向に関して互いに対向する段差面28、28を設けており、これら両段差面28、28の交差角度θを、60〜140度の範囲に規制している。この交差角度θが60度未満の場合には、前記各凹部23a、23aに、前記プーリ1bを構成する合成樹脂の一部を進入させようとしても、これら各凹部23a、23a全体にこの合成樹脂が行き渡らず、これら各凹部23a、23aの底面29、29と、前記各突条26a、26aの先端面との間に隙間が生じる可能性がある。一方、前記交差角度θが140度を超えた場合、前記各凹部23a、23aの数を十分に(50個以上)確保する事が難しくなるだけでなく、前記各段差面28、28と前記各突条26a、26aとの当接面の圧力角が小さくなる。これらにより、前記外輪15bの外周面に対して前記プーリ1bの内周面が滑り易くなり、クリープ防止効果を十分に得る事ができない。   In addition, step surfaces 28 and 28 that face each other in the circumferential direction are provided in a continuous portion with the tip surfaces 27 and 27 of the convex portions 24a and 24a among the inner surfaces of the concave portions 23a and 23a. The crossing angle θ between the two step surfaces 28 and 28 is restricted to a range of 60 to 140 degrees. When the crossing angle θ is less than 60 degrees, even if a part of the synthetic resin constituting the pulley 1b enters the concave portions 23a and 23a, the synthetic resin is inserted into the entire concave portions 23a and 23a. There is a possibility that a gap may be formed between the bottom surfaces 29 and 29 of the recesses 23a and 23a and the tip surfaces of the protrusions 26a and 26a. On the other hand, when the crossing angle θ exceeds 140 degrees, not only is it difficult to secure a sufficient number (50 or more) of the recesses 23a, 23a, but the stepped surfaces 28, 28 and the The pressure angle of the contact surface with the ridges 26a, 26a is reduced. As a result, the inner peripheral surface of the pulley 1b becomes slippery with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the outer ring 15b, and a sufficient effect of preventing creep cannot be obtained.

又、前記各凹部23a、23aの径方向深さhと、前記各凸部24a、24aの先端面の外接円の直径(これら各凸部24a、24aの山径)Dとは、h≦0.055Dの関係を満たしている。h>0.055Dの場合には、前記プーリ1bを構成する合成樹脂の一部を進入させようとしても、これら各凹部23a、23a全体にこの合成樹脂が行き渡りにくくなり、これら各凹部23a、23aの底面29、29と、前記各突条26a、26aの先端面との間に隙間が生じる可能性がある。尚、h<0.002Dとした場合、前記各凹部23a、23aと前記各突条26a、26aとの結合強度を十分に確保できず、前記プーリ1bと前記外輪15bとの間に加わるトルク(クリープ荷重)を支承できなくなる可能性があり、好ましくない。   Further, the radial depth h of each of the recesses 23a, 23a and the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the tip surface of each of the projections 24a, 24a (the crest diameter of each of the projections 24a, 24a) D are h ≦ 0. .055D relationship is satisfied. In the case of h> 0.055D, even if a part of the synthetic resin constituting the pulley 1b is made to enter, the synthetic resin is difficult to spread over the entire concave portions 23a, 23a, and the concave portions 23a, 23a There may be a gap between the bottom surfaces 29 and 29 and the tip surfaces of the protrusions 26a and 26a. When h <0.002D, the coupling strength between the recesses 23a, 23a and the protrusions 26a, 26a cannot be sufficiently secured, and torque applied between the pulley 1b and the outer ring 15b ( (Creep load) may not be supported, which is not preferable.

更に、前記各凹部23a、23aの底面29の周方向長さL29を、前記各凸部24a、24aの先端面27の周方向長さL27以上(L29≧L27)としている。前記底面29の長さ寸法L29がこの先端面27の長さ寸法L27よりも小さい(L29<L27)場合、前記各突条26a、26aの強度を十分に確保する事が難しく、前記プーリ1bと前記外輪15bとの間に加わるトルク(クリープ荷重)を支承できなくなる可能性がある。 Furthermore, the circumferential length L 29 of the bottom surface 29 of each of the recesses 23a, 23a is set to be equal to or greater than the circumferential length L 27 of the tip surface 27 of each of the projections 24a, 24a (L 29 ≧ L 27 ). Wherein when the length L 29 of the bottom surface 29 is smaller than the length L 27 of the distal end surface 27 (L 29 <L 27) , it is difficult to sufficiently ensure the respective projections 26a, the strength of 26a, There is a possibility that torque (creep load) applied between the pulley 1b and the outer ring 15b cannot be supported.

A width of 12 mm) was prepared. Note that the width dimension of the locking grooves was 2.36 mm in all cases, the width dimension of the knurled eye was 1.48 mm in the case of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 , and 1.57 mm in the case of Comparative Example 2 .

上述の表1に示した各例の外輪に、前記図6に示した様な金型20を用いて、合成樹脂を射出し、これら各外輪の外周面にプーリを形成し、プーリ装置とした。この合成樹脂材料として、ガラス繊維を35%含有したポリアミド66樹脂(PA66GF35)を使用し、前記プーリの外径寸法は70mm、幅寸法は24mmとした。
この様にして得られた各プーリ装置を、120度の高温下で1時間放置した後に、前記プーリを回転不能に固定し、前記外輪に回転方向の力を加えた。この状態で、これらプーリと外輪との間でクリープが発生(この外輪が、このプーリに対して相対回転)した時のトルクの大きさを測定した。
A synthetic resin is injected into the outer ring of each example shown in Table 1 above using the mold 20 as shown in FIG. 6, and a pulley is formed on the outer peripheral surface of each of the outer rings to form a pulley device. . As this synthetic resin material, polyamide 66 resin (PA66GF35) containing 35% glass fiber was used, and the outer diameter of the pulley was 70 mm and the width was 24 mm.
Each pulley device thus obtained was allowed to stand at a high temperature of 120 degrees for 1 hour, and then the pulley was fixed to be non-rotatable and a rotational force was applied to the outer ring. In this state, the magnitude of torque was measured when creep occurred between the pulley and the outer ring (the outer ring rotated relative to the pulley).

上述の様な実験の結果を表した表2の記載から、前記トルクの大きさが、比較例2に対して、比較例1の場合には25%向上し、更に実施例1の場合には50%向上している事が分かる。以上の実験により、本発明によれば、前記特許文献2に記載された構造を有するプーリ装置に於いて、プーリと外輪との間で支承できるトルクの大きさを確実に向上させられる事を確認できた。
尚、本発明は、凹部の底面の周方向長さを0mmにすると共に、凸部の先端面の周方向長さを0mmに規制しているが、その他の条件に関しては、前述した参考例の1例と同様である。
