関するものである。The present invention relates to a constant velocity universal joint mainly applied to a front wheel drive type automobile, and more particularly to a tripod type constant velocity universal joint.

昭５８−６２６号公報参照）。In a tripod type constant velocity universal joint, when the input / output shaft takes a certain working angle to transmit a rotational force, the spherical roller rotatably fitted to each leg shaft (trunnion shaft) of the tripod member is a cylindrical outer ring. It is conventionally known that thrust is generated in the axial direction and causes vibration because the plunging is performed in a state of being inclined with respect to the track groove. As one means for solving such a problem, as shown in FIG. 7, the leg shaft 2 of the tripod member 1 is formed into a spherical surface, and the bearing assembly 3 is swingably swingable around the leg shaft 2. There is a tripod type constant velocity universal joint in which the needle roller 7 of the bearing assembly 3 is rotatably accommodated in the rolling surface 6 in the axial direction of the outer ring which is fitted and formed in the track groove 5 of the outer ring 4. (See JP-A-58-626).

問題点を残していた。In the above-described constant velocity universal joint, the leg shaft 2 and the bearing assembly 3 are pivotally and swingably fitted to each other, so that even if the input / output shaft rotates with an operating angle, the bearing assembly 3 is needle roller. Since it moves in the axial direction of the outer ring along the rolling surface 6 via 7, it is possible to prevent the thrust force from being generated. However, under severe conditions such as high torque and high rotation, the spherical contact structure between the leg shaft 2 and the bearing assembly 3 often causes the oil film to run out, resulting in early seizure.

できた。The constant velocity universal joint according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a tripod member 12 slidably inserted inside an outer ring 11, and a first shaft ( (Not shown) are integrally provided, and three track grooves 14 in the axial direction are formed on the inner peripheral surface at intervals of 120 degrees around the central axis. The rolling surface 15 of each track groove 14 is formed by recessing one step from the track groove 14. The tripod member 12 is connected to a second shaft (not shown). The tripod member 12 has three leg shafts 19 that are radially provided so as to face each track groove 14. The leg shaft 19 is formed on an outer peripheral convex spherical surface 20 and is fitted to an inner peripheral concave spherical surface 22 of a button member 21 so as to be swingable and swingable. The button member 21 has a concave spherical surface 22 on one side and a planar surface 23 parallel to the rolling surface 15 on the other side. Further, the button member 21 has a body portion 24 having a substantially cylindrical shape. Between the flat surface 23 of the button material 21 and the rolling surface 15, needle rollers 25 which are guided and held by a cage 27 so as to be rollable are linearly arranged. The bearing assembly 26 is a combination of the button member 21, the cage 27 and the needle rollers 25 described above. These lubrication is the outer ring 1
It is performed by the grease filled in 1. The concave spherical surface 22 of the button member 21 and the convex spherical surface 20 of the leg shaft 19
And are in spherical contact, that is, in point contact with the bottom of the concave spherical surface 22, and a gap corresponding to the difference in radius of curvature between both members is generated. Tests have revealed that this gap forms a lubricating oil film, and the radii of curvature of both members determine the presence or absence of seizure.
FIG. 3 shows the test results, in which the radius of curvature (r) of the convex spherical surface 20 of the leg shaft 19 is changed with respect to the radius of curvature (R) of the concave spherical surface 22 of the button material 21 to prevent seizure. The existence was confirmed. Here, the load torque (T) was 140 kg-m, the rotation speed (N) was 100 rpm, and the working angle (θ) was 7 °, which was performed under severe conditions for this kind of constant velocity universal joint. As can be seen from this test result, the conventional curvature ratio R / r = 1.
Including those of 01., those with a curvature ratio of R / r = 1.00 to 1.02 were all seized at 1 to 5 hrs, while those of R / r = 1.03 did not show any abnormalities even in the 10 hrs test and are good. It was found to maintain good lubrication. It has been confirmed by calculation that the contact area decreases conversely as the curvature ratio increases, which is disadvantageous in terms of contact surface pressure. Therefore, considering both the ease of forming the lubricating oil film and the surface pressure, the curvature ratio R / r = 1.03
It is preferable to set it to ˜1.06. Furthermore, the inventor
The test conditions were changed to T = 70 kg-m and N = 500 rpm, and the conformability of both members was confirmed. The results are shown in FIG.
In FIG. 4, (A) shows that the surface of the convex spherical surface 20 of the leg shaft 19 is subjected to phosphate coating and then is coated with MOS 2 , and (B) shows that the concave spherical surface 22 of the button material 21 is subjected to the same surface treatment. It shows what was given. From this test, it was also found that it would be effective if at least the convex spherical surface 20 of the leg shaft 19 is subjected to this kind of surface treatment. The phosphate layer described above is formed to allow good coating of the overlying MOS 2 layer. 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the button member 26 in which the curvature ratio R / r = 1.03 to 1.06 is set. FIG. 5 shows a plurality of depressions 28 on the concave spherical surface 27 'of the button material 26.
It has been confirmed by a test that a grease reservoir is surely formed and seizure is prevented, in which the concentric annular groove 31 is formed on the concave spherical surface 30 of the button member 29.

Since seizure and premature peeling were prevented even under the conditions, the durability of this kind of constant velocity universal joint can be remarkably improved. Further, by forming a film in which the lower layer is a phosphate and the upper surface layer is MOS 2 on the outer peripheral convex spherical surface of the pedestal, there is an effect of further improving durability.
