Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the installation of an end part member and also increase strength against a twist, etc., in an camshaft for installing the end part member on an end part of a tubular shaft main body. CONSTITUTION:An end part member 16 is provided with a press-in part 22 to be pressed in a spindle main body 11. A saw-toothed serrate uneven part 23 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of this press-in part 22 by roll working. The crest part 23a of this irregular part 23 is bitten into the inner peripheral surface of the spindle main body 11 to fix the end part member 16 to the spindle main body 11. A recessed groove part 24 is to be provided on a corner part in the crest part 23a for stopping the roll working halfway. Consequently the recessed groove part 24 is provided on the corner part in the crest part 23a to reduce force required for pressing-in, making the corner part of the crest part 23a be difficult to be broken also to increase strength.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many camshafts used for automobile engines are made of cast iron. On the other hand, in order to improve the wear resistance of the cam, a cam shaft in which a cam made of a sintered alloy is assembled to a steel shaft body has come to be used. Further, in order to reduce the weight, it has also been practiced to make the shaft main body into a hollow tubular shape. When the shaft body and the cam are separated from each other in this way, the cam body is press-fitted, so the shaft body must be linear. On the other hand, the end of the camshaft must have a predetermined shape for supporting it, so after mounting the cam, attach a separate end member to the end of the shaft body. I have to. Conventionally, this end member is fixed to the shaft body by, for example, brazing. However, brazing has a problem such as distortion due to heat.

After forming the concave portion 26, the concave and convex portion is formed.
Form 23. In this roll processing, after mounting the end member 16 which is a work on the work holding shaft 32, the work fixing shaft 33 is moved toward the end member 16, and the work holding shaft 32 and the work fixing shaft 33 are The end member 16 is sandwiched and fixed by. Then, the roller base 34 is moved toward the end member 16, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the pair of roller dies 36 are brought into pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface of the press-fitting portion 22 of the end member 16. At the same time, the work holding shaft 32 and both roller dies 36 are synchronously rotated. As a result, the uneven portion 23 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the press-fitting portion 22 of the end member 16.

At the time of this roll processing, the outer peripheral surface of the press-fitting portion 22, which initially forms a cylindrical surface as shown by the chain line in FIG. 6A, has teeth 38 of the roller die 36 as shown by the solid line in the figure.
It gradually undergoes plastic deformation so as to rise along both sides of the valley. Therefore, in the intermediate stage of the roll processing, the crests 23a of the formed uneven portion 23 and the roller die 36
There is still a gap between the tooth 38 and the valley of the tooth 38, and the mountain portion 23a has the concave groove portion 24 at the ridge portion. Then, as the roll processing progresses, the height of the mountain portion 23a increases, and as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 7, finally, the raised portions along both sides of the valleys of the teeth 38 of the roller die 36 become one, and the valleys of the teeth 38 are filled with the ridges 23a. That is, the groove 24
The mountain portion 23a becomes a pointed single peak. Conventionally, the roll processing was continued up to this stage, but by stopping the roll processing at the intermediate stage, the peak 23a having the concave groove 24 at the ridge is finally obtained.

Further, at the time of roll processing, the rolling roller die 36 applies pressure to the press-fitting portion 22 inward in the radial direction, but there is a concave recess 26 on the tip surface of the press-fitting portion 22. Therefore, the tip portion of the press-fitting portion 22 is slightly plastically deformed so that the diameter becomes substantially tapered. The large diameter at the tip of the tapered portion 27 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the shaft body 11.
The tapered portion 27 serves as a guide when the press-fitting portion 22 is press-fitted into the shaft body 11, and therefore, it is not necessary to separately process a chamfered portion on the outer peripheral surface tip portion of the press-fitting portion 22 or the inner peripheral surface tip portion of the shaft body 11.

According to the present invention, in order to assemble the end member to the end of the tubular shaft body, the hollow movable body is formed by press-fitting the press-fitting portion of the end member having the serration-like uneven portion. In the shaft, the ridges of the concavo-convex part have concave grooves on the ridges, so the force required to press-fit the press-fitting parts into the shaft body is small, and the press-fitting can be facilitated and the ridges of the ridges Since the parts are less likely to be damaged, the strength against twisting is increased and the reliability is improved.
