Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily distinguish rollers from others to improve assembling performance by sequentially reducing the diameters of rollers in each line arranged from the base end side of tranion to the tip side, and making the lengths differ. SOLUTION: Three lines of rollers 11a, b, c are arranged axially between a bearing case 62 and a traninon 51, and the diameter d1 of a roller 11a on the base end side of the tranion 51 is made larger than the diameter d2 of the intermediate roller 11b while the diameter d2 of a roller 11b is made slightly larger by μm unit than the diameter d3 of a roller 11c. Gaps c1 , c2 are slightly created at the tip side, however, they are adapted to correspond to the bend amount of tranion 51 at the time of torque transmission to allow the rollers 11a, b, c to be subjected to even load. The length L1 of the roller 11a is made slightly larger than that L2 of the roller 11b. In this way the identification of rollers of different diameters is made easy, thereby improving assembling workability.

[0005] As described above, each trunnion 51 has:
A bearing device 6 having a plurality of rollers is used. When transmitting a rotating torque from one rotating shaft 1 to the other rotating shaft, a cross shaft from one yoke 2 via a bearing case 62 is used. 5, a load acts on the two trunnions 51, and the other two trunnions 51 of the cross shaft 5
A load acts on the other yoke 4 via the second yoke 4. In this case, in each of the trunnions 51, the bending displacement amount (bending amount) at the distal end becomes large. Therefore, the rollers 63a at the base end side, the rollers 63b at the center part, and the rollers 63 at the distal end side of the trunnion 51.
There is a difference between c and the applied load. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the loads applied to the rollers at the base end and the tip end of the trunnion 51 are made equal, that is,
The diameters (d 1 , d 2 , c 3) of these rollers 63 a, 63 b, 63 c are such that gaps c 1 , c 2 corresponding to the amount of bending displacement of 1 are generated.
d 2, d 3) were made different to Yuniba - monkeys joint has been proposed (Kokoku No. 3-1531). Although the actual difference between the roller diameters is small, the difference between the roller diameters is exaggerated in FIG. 6 so as to be clearly understood for the sake of explanation.

However, these rollers 63a, 63b and 63c are different in diameter (micron) unit even if their diameters are different, and are equal in length. Has become difficult. Therefore, when assembling the universal joint, it is devised so as not to cause a mistake in assembling, but actually it is used at the base end, at the center, and at the tip. The only way to identify a roller is by stamping. Therefore, these rollers 63a, 63b, 6

Next, the displacement of the trunnion 51 during the transmission of the rotational torque and the clearance between the trunnion 51 and 11a, 11b, 11c are determined. Will be described. FIG. 3A is a partial sectional view of the universal joint bearing device of the present invention in a state where no load is applied to the trunnion 51 of the cross shaft 5. In this state, the rollers 11 arranged at the intermediate portion of the trunnion 51
There are slight gaps c 1 and c 2 between the roller 11 c and the trunnion 51 disposed between the b and the trunnion 51 and between the roller 11 c and the trunnion 51. When transmitting the rotation torque from one rotation shaft to the other rotation shaft, the deflection amount increases at the tip end of the trunnion 51. However, the base end roller 11a, the intermediate portion roller 11b, and the tip end roller 11c. Since the diameters of the trunnions 51 are different from those of the trunnions 51, the gaps between the rollers 11a, 11b, 11c and the trunnions 51 are made to gradually increase at the tip end side, as shown in FIG. Contact according to the amount of bending. Even if a load is applied to the trunnion 51 during transmission of the rotational torque in this way, the gap between the rollers 11a, 11b, 11c and the trunnion 51 is a gap corresponding to the amount of bending, so that the rollers 11a, 11b, 11c Means that a uniform load is applied.

As described in detail above, according to the universal joint bearing device of the present invention, when assembling the universal joint bearing device, it is easy to distinguish rollers having different diameters, so that it is incorporated. Workability is improved. In addition, since a complicated process of imprinting a stamp on each of a large number of rollers is not required, man-hours can be reduced. Further, the load applied to each roller of the trunnion and the bearing during transmission of the rotational torque becomes uniform, so that the life of the bearing is prolonged.
