2. Description of the Related Art A constant velocity universal joint includes an outer ring having a plurality of axially extending guide grooves formed on its inner peripheral surface, and an inner ring having a plurality of axially extending guide grooves formed on its inner peripheral surface.・ A torque transmitting ball arranged on a ball track formed by the guide groove of the outer ring in cooperation with each other, and a cage for holding the torque transmitting ball in the angle bisector of the operating angle. Usually, a driven shaft (or a drive shaft) is joined to an outer ring, and a shaft part such as a drive shaft (or a driven shaft) or an intermediate shaft is serrated or spline-fitted to an inner ring for use. Then, when an angular displacement occurs between the drive shaft and the driven shaft, the torque transmitting balls are guided by the guide grooves of the inner and outer rings and move in the ball track, so that the inner and outer rings form an operating angle. Corresponds to angular displacement. As is well known, serrations and splines are distinguished by the tooth shape, splines are key-shaped teeth parallel to the axis formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion at equal intervals, and serrations are spline teeth. It is a small triangular mountain. Since serrations have a low tooth depth and a large number of teeth, they can transmit even greater torque than splines, and splines are generally used for large diameter shafts, whereas serrations are used for small diameter shafts. There are many.

As a recent tendency, it is important to reduce the size and weight of constant velocity universal joints.
This corresponds to the fact that in the automobile industry, which is the main application of constant velocity universal joints, the weight of the vehicle body is being actively reduced as a part of low fuel consumption. One of the most effective means to reduce the size and weight is to reduce the size by increasing the torque transmission capacity. Further, the constant velocity universal joint is also required to have characteristics such as a high operating angle and low cost.

By the way, the torque transmission capacity of the constant velocity universal joint is practically determined by the strength of the inner ring and the strength of the joint inlet side portion. This is mainly because the inner ring of a fixed type constant velocity universal joint has the thinnest wall thickness of the guide groove on the inlet side, and when the operating angle is applied, the torque transmission ball on the opposite operating angle side guides. This is because the torque is transmitted by moving to the entrance side of the groove. In particular, the higher the operating angle, the closer the torque transmitting ball comes to the vicinity of the entrance, so the maximum operating angle also largely depends on the strength of this portion.

First, comparing the strength of the inner ring 11, the strength of the inner ring 11 is the largest in the one-clip shoulder type. This is for the following reason. That is, when torque is transmitted between the inner ring 11 and the shaft portion 12, the maximum force is generated at the fitting start position between the serrations 11d and 12d. While the joining start position is the entrance side chamfer 11dz of the serration 11d, in the one-clip shoulder type, the shaft center side chamfer 12dz of the serration 12d located on the joint inner side Y than the entrance side chamfer 11dz starts fitting. Be in position. In other words, the one-clip shoulder type has a structure in which the maximum force point enters the joint inner side Y more than the above two types, and the maximum force can be applied to the thicker portion of the inner ring 11. , The strength is greater than other types.

Next, comparing the assembling ability,
Of the above three types, only one clip type can be automatically assembled. This is the chamfer 11d on the entrance side of the serration 11d in the one clip type.
The chamfer angle θz of z is set to a relatively small value of 25 degrees, and when the shaft portion 12 is assembled, the circular circlip 13 is guided by the chamfer 11dz on the inlet side, and is automatically reduced to the required dimension (the inner diameter dimension of the serration 11d). This is because the diameter. However, in the other two types, since the chamfer angle θz of the entrance side chamfer 11dz is set to be relatively large at 45 degrees, the guide by the entrance side chamfer 11dz becomes insufficient when the shaft part 12 is assembled, and the Circlip 13 does not automatically reduce its diameter. for that reason,
With the other two types, automatic assembly is not possible.

An object of the present invention is to overcome the problems in the conventional structure, to achieve the downsizing and weight reduction of the constant velocity universal joint, and to increase the working angle, and at the same time to improve the assembling property.

The fitting structure of the present invention is a so-called one-clip shoulder stopper type, and the inner ring and the shaft portion are axially moved by the circlip mounted on the shaft end portion of the shaft portion and the shoulder portion provided on the shaft center side. Both sides are bound by each other. The shoulder that the chamfer on the inlet side of the tooth profile of the inner ring contacts is provided closer to the center of the shaft than the tooth profile on the shaft, and the fitting start position (maximum force application point) of both tooth models is greater than that on the inlet chamfer. It has entered the inside of the joint. This improves the strength of the inner ring.

The chamfer angle of the chamfer on the inlet side is 32.
The reason why the angle is set to 5 degrees or less is mainly to consider the assembling property. Whether automatic assembly of the inner ring and the shaft is possible depends on the size of the chamfer angle of the chamfer on the entrance side. If this chamfer angle is too large, the circlip does not automatically reduce its diameter when the shaft portion is mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring, which makes automatic assembly impossible. As a result of many experiments by the applicant, the limit value of the chamfer angle at which automatic assembly is possible is 3
It has been confirmed to be 2.5 degrees. Further, as will be described later, reducing the chamfer angle also improves the strength of the inner ring.

The chamfer angle of the chamfer on the inlet side is set to 15 degrees or more in consideration of the dimensional accuracy of the tooth profile of the inner ring. That is, if the chamfer angle of the inlet chamfer is too small, it becomes difficult to secure the accuracy of the entire width (effective length) of the tooth mold in terms of processing.

As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 2, when the shaft portion 2 is assembled, the circular circlip 2c is moved into the chamfer 1dz on the inlet side.
The diameter is gradually reduced while being guided by and is fitted into the inner diameter of the serration 1d. Then, in that state, the shaft portion 2
Is pushed to the inside Y of the joint, the circular circlip 2c is guided by the inner diameter of the serration 1d and moves to the inside Y of the joint together with the shaft 2, and when it reaches the inner chamfer 1dy, the diameter is automatically expanded by the restoring force. To do. As described above, in the fitting structure of this embodiment, it is not necessary to artificially reduce the diameter of the circular circlip 2c by using a special jig, and the shaft portion 2 is fixed to the inner ring 1
The assembly can be completed automatically simply by inserting it into the inner peripheral surface of the. In order to enable automatic assembly, the chamfer angle θz needs to be 32.5 degrees or less. When the chamfer angle θz is larger than 32.5 degrees, the circular circlip 2c is automatically contracted. Without diameter, automatic assembly becomes impossible. However, if the chamfer angle θz is too small, it becomes difficult to secure the accuracy of the entire width A (effective length: see FIG. 1a) of the serration 11, so it is preferable to set it to 15 degrees or more.

As shown in an enlarged manner in FIG. 3, the chamfer 2dz on the axial center of the serration 2d is located closer to the inside Y of the joint than the chamfer 1dz on the inlet side of the serration 1d. The fitting start position (maximum force application point) P1 of the above is a dimension L1 on the joint inner side Y with respect to the point P2 (in the fitting structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the inlet side chamfer is the maximum force application point).
It's just entering. Since the maximum force can be applied to the thicker portion of the inner ring 1 (the inner side Y of the joint is thicker), the strength of the inner ring 1 is stronger than that of the fitting structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. improves. It is effective that the dimension L1 is about 10 to 20% with respect to the entire width A of the serration 1d.

FIG. 4 shows the fitting structure of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 (two types of chamfer angle θz: 25 degrees and 32.5 degrees).
The conventional fitting structure shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 (chamfer angle θ
(z: 45 degrees) shows the results of testing the one-sided torsional fatigue strength of the inner ring. As is clear from the figure, in the fitting structure of this embodiment, the torsional strength of the inner ring 1 is significantly improved as compared with the conventional fitting structure. This is because the fitting start position (maximum force application point) P1 between the serration 1d and the serration 2d has entered the joint inner side Y. However, also in the fitting structure of the present embodiment, when the chamfer angle θz is 25.0 degrees and when it is 32.5 degrees, the torsional strength of the inner ring 1 becomes larger when the chamfer angle θz is 25.0 degrees. ing. As described above, when the chamfer angle θz is small, the torsional strength of the inner ring 1 tends to be large. Therefore, the chamfer angle θz of the inlet side chamfer 1dz is directly related not only to the assembling property but also to the torsional strength of the inner ring 1, and it is extremely important to set the value of this.

As described above, according to the fitting structure of the present invention, the fitting start position (maximum force applied point) between the inner ring tooth profile and the shaft tooth profile is the inlet side chamfer of the inner ring tooth profile. Since the inner ring is located on the inner side of the joint, and the maximum force is applied to the thicker portion of the inner ring, the strength of the inner ring is improved, which increases the torque transmission capacity of the constant velocity universal joint and the resulting small size. It is possible to achieve a reduction in weight and a high operating angle. At the same time, since the chamfer angle of the chamfer on the inlet side of the inner ring tooth type is set to 32.5 degrees or less, it is possible to automatically assemble the inner ring and the shaft portion, and the cost can be reduced.
