等速ジョイント 技術分野 Constant Velocity Joint Technology Field
[0001] 本発明は、榭脂ブーツの固定部がブーツバンドによって固定される外輪部材のブ 一ッ取付部が設けられた等速ジョイントに関する。 [0001] The present invention relates to a constant velocity joint provided with a bush mounting portion of an outer ring member to which a fixing portion of a resin boot is fixed by a boot band.
背景技術 Background art
[0002] 例えば、自動車等の車両において、駆動軸力 従動軸に対して回転駆動力を伝達 するために、継手としての等速ジョイントが一般的に使用されている。この等速ジョイ ントには、ジョイント内部に封入されたグリスの漏れ出し防止やジョイント内部への異 物進入防止を目的として蛇腹形状のブーツが装着されて 、る。 For example, in a vehicle such as an automobile, a constant velocity joint as a joint is generally used in order to transmit a rotational driving force to a driving shaft force driven shaft. This constant velocity joint is fitted with bellows-shaped boots for the purpose of preventing leakage of grease enclosed in the joint and preventing foreign objects from entering the joint.
[0003] 具体的には、ブーツの一端部が等速ジョイントを構成するァウタカップの開口部を 閉塞するように装着され、ブーツの他端部がドリブン側のシャフトの外周部を囲繞す るように嵌着され、前記ブーツの一端部及び他端部は、それぞれ、大径及び小径の ブーツバンドで締め付けて固定される。 [0003] Specifically, one end of the boot is mounted so as to close the opening of the outer cup constituting the constant velocity joint, and the other end of the boot surrounds the outer periphery of the driven shaft. The one end portion and the other end portion of the boot are fastened and fixed with a large-diameter and small-diameter boot band, respectively.
[0004] この等速ジョイント用のブーツとしては、ゴム材料力 なるゴムブーツと、榭脂製材料 力 なる榭脂ブーツとが一般的に用いられており、近時では、耐回転膨張性や耐久 性等の観点力 榭脂ブーツが多用される傾向にある。 [0004] As a boot for this constant velocity joint, a rubber boot having a rubber material strength and a resin boot having a rubber material strength are generally used. Recently, rotational expansion resistance and durability have been increased. Viewpoint power etc. There is a tendency that rosin boots are frequently used.
[0005] 特に、榭脂ブーツは、ゴムブーツと比較して弾性が小さ 、ため、相手部材への嵌め 込み状態が不安定になり易ぐ相手部材との取付構造において特別な工夫が必要と される。 [0005] In particular, the greave boots are less elastic than the rubber boots, and therefore, special contrivance is required in the mounting structure with the mating member where the state of fitting into the mating member tends to become unstable. .
[0006] 従来技術に係るこの種の榭脂ブーツ取付構造に関し、例えば、特許文献 1及び特 許文献 2には、図 9に示されるように、外輪部材 1のブーツ取付部の外周に環状の係 合溝 2と前記係合溝 2の両側に配置された環状の突起部 3a、 3bとが一体的に形成さ れ、ブーツ端部の固定部 4に設けられた環状の凸部 5を前記係合溝 2に嵌め合わせ て両者の位置決めをした後、前記固定部 4をブーツバンド 6で締め付けて固定するこ とが開示されている。 [0006] With respect to this type of grease boot mounting structure according to the prior art, for example, in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, as shown in FIG. 9, an annular ring is formed on the outer periphery of the boot mounting portion of the outer ring member 1. The engaging groove 2 and the annular protrusions 3a and 3b disposed on both sides of the engaging groove 2 are integrally formed, and the annular protrusion 5 provided on the fixing portion 4 at the boot end is formed as the above-mentioned It is disclosed that after the fitting groove 2 is fitted and positioned, the fixing portion 4 is fastened and fixed by a boot band 6.
[0007] 例えば、特許文献 1の段落 [0005]には、ブーツの固定部 4の抜け止め強度とシー
ル性を確保するために、ブーツの固定部 4の凸部 5の高さを比較的大きく設定する必 要があるとし、一方、榭脂ブーツは一般に硬度が HD50程度と高ぐゴムブーツに比 ベて弾性変形しにくいので、凸部 5が高すぎると相手部材 (等速ジョイントの外輪、軸 )への嵌合作業が困難になる、と記載されている。 [0007] For example, in paragraph [0005] of Patent Document 1, the retaining strength 4 and the seal of the fixing portion 4 of the boot are described. It is necessary to set the height of the convex part 5 of the fixed part 4 of the boot relatively large in order to ensure the smoothness. On the other hand, the grease boot is generally more rigid than the rubber boot with a hardness of about HD50. It is described that it is difficult to be elastically deformed, so that if the convex portion 5 is too high, it is difficult to fit the mating member (the outer ring and the shaft of the constant velocity joint).
[0008] しかしながら、前記特許文献 1及び特許文献 2に開示された榭脂ブーツの取付構 造では、ブーツの固定部 4をブーツバンド 6で締め付けた際、前記ブーツの固定部 4 の内壁に対して突起部 3a、 3bが食 、込むためにシール性が向上すると一応思われ るが、榭脂ブーツの固定部 4を外輪部材 1の端部に対して装着する嵌合作業を容易 に遂行するために前記凸部 5の高さを低く設定するとシール性を劣化させると共に、 ブーツバンド 6を締め付けたときに係合溝 2に対して前記凸部 5がうまく嵌合せずにブ ーッの固定部 4が外輪部材 1の奥側又は手前側にずれてしまいブーツ取付部に対し て確実な位置決めが困難である。 [0008] However, in the grease boot mounting structure disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, when the boot fixing portion 4 is fastened with the boot band 6, the boot fixing portion 4 is against the inner wall of the boot fixing portion 4. The protrusions 3a and 3b are eaten up and inserted, and it seems that the sealing performance is improved. However, it is easy to perform the fitting work of attaching the fixing part 4 of the grease boot to the end of the outer ring member 1. Therefore, if the height of the convex portion 5 is set low, the sealing performance deteriorates, and when the boot band 6 is tightened, the convex portion 5 does not fit well with the engaging groove 2 and the fixing portion of the boot 4 shifts to the back side or the near side of the outer ring member 1 and it is difficult to reliably position the boot mounting portion.

発明の開示 Disclosure of the invention
[0010] 本発明の一般的な目的は、ブーツバンドを締め付けたときにブーツの固定部を外 輪部材のブーツ取付部に対して確実に且つ簡便に位置決めすることが可能な外輪 部材の端部形状を有する等速ジョイントを提供することにある。 [0010] A general object of the present invention is to provide an end portion of an outer ring member capable of reliably and simply positioning a fixed portion of the boot with respect to a boot mounting portion of the outer ring member when the boot band is tightened. The object is to provide a constant velocity joint having a shape.
[0011] 本発明では、外輪部材の端面力 前記傾斜面の頂部までの水平方向に沿って離 間する所定距離を L (mm)とし、前記被装着面に対する前記傾斜面の傾斜角度を Θ (度)とした場合、前記 L及び 0は、下記(1)〜(5)の関係式を充足する範囲に設定さ れるとよ 、。 In the present invention, the end surface force of the outer ring member is set to L (mm) as a predetermined distance separated along the horizontal direction to the top of the inclined surface, and the inclination angle of the inclined surface with respect to the mounting surface is Θ ( L and 0 are set in a range that satisfies the following relational expressions (1) to (5).
[0012] (l) L≤-0. 018 Θ + 15. 807 [0012] (l) L≤-0. 018 Θ + 15. 807
(2) L≤-0. 1438 θ + 21. 597 (2) L≤-0. 1438 θ + 21. 597

(4) θ≥20 (4) θ≥20
(5) θ≤60 (5) θ≤60
[0013] 本発明によれば、上記(1)〜(5)の関係式を全て充足する範囲に基づいて、外輪
部材の端面から傾斜面の頂部までの水平方向に沿って離間する所定距離 Lの値と、 被装着面に対する傾斜面の傾斜角度 Θの値とをそれぞれ設定することにより、ブー ッバンドを締め付けたときに、ブーツ固定部が外輪部材のブーツ取付部に対してず れることがなく確実に位置決めされ、さらに、所定のシール性を確保することができる と共に、加工性をも考慮した好適な外輪部材の端部形状を設定することができる。 [0013] According to the present invention, the outer ring is based on a range that satisfies all the relational expressions (1) to (5). When the boo- band is tightened by setting the value of the predetermined distance L that is spaced along the horizontal direction from the end surface of the member to the top of the inclined surface and the value of the inclination angle Θ of the inclined surface with respect to the mounting surface. In addition, the boot fixing portion is reliably positioned without being displaced with respect to the boot mounting portion of the outer ring member, and further, a predetermined sealing property can be secured, and a suitable outer ring member considering workability is also provided. The end shape can be set.
[0014] この場合、傾斜角度 Θが 20度未満であるとブーツ端部の傾斜面に対する乗り上げ 量が増大してシール性及び位置決め性が劣化すると共に、前記傾斜角度 Θ力 ½0度 を超えると前記傾斜面の機械加工が困難となる。 [0014] In this case, if the inclination angle Θ is less than 20 degrees, the amount of riding on the inclined surface of the boot end portion increases, the sealing performance and positioning performance deteriorate, and if the inclination angle Θ force exceeds ½0 degrees, Machining of inclined surfaces becomes difficult.
[0015] さらに、シール特性、位置決め性、及び加工性等を総合的に勘案された最適範囲 として、前記 L (mm)及び 0 (度)は、下記(6)、 (7)の関係式を全て充足する範囲に 設定されるとよい。 [0015] Further, as an optimal range that comprehensively considers seal characteristics, positioning properties, workability, etc., the L (mm) and 0 (degrees) are expressed by the following relational expressions (6) and (7). It should be set to a range that satisfies all.

The annular protrusion 46 positioned in association with (see FIG. 4) may be bulged. In FIGS. 5 and 6, T2 represents the axis of the boot 22.
[0028] 本発明の実施の形態に係る等速ジョイント 10は、基本的には以上のように構成され るものであり、次に、外輪部材 12に対してブーツ 22の固定部 18が装着される外輪部 材 12の端部形状 (ブーツ取付部 20の形状)の設定手法について説明する。 The constant velocity joint 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is basically configured as described above. Next, the fixing portion 18 of the boot 22 is attached to the outer ring member 12. A method for setting the end shape of the outer ring member 12 (the shape of the boot mounting portion 20) will be described.
[0029] 先ず、前述したように、前記ブーツ 22の固定部 18の内径 D1と前記外輪部材 12の ブーツ取付部 20の外径 D2とは、 D1≤D2の関係を充足するように設定されるとよい [0029] First, as described above, the inner diameter D1 of the fixing portion 18 of the boot 22 and the outer diameter D2 of the boot mounting portion 20 of the outer ring member 12 are set so as to satisfy the relationship of D1≤D2. And good
[0030] 次に、外輪部材 12の端面 35から傾斜面 44の頂部 45までの間の離間間隔であつ て水平方向に沿って離間した所定距離 Lと、被装着面 36に対する傾斜面 44の傾斜
角度 Θとの関係が図 7に示される許容範囲 Μ内(網線部分参照)に設定されるとよい [0030] Next, a predetermined distance L between the end surface 35 of the outer ring member 12 and the top portion 45 of the inclined surface 44, which is spaced apart along the horizontal direction, and the inclination of the inclined surface 44 with respect to the mounting surface 36 The relationship with the angle Θ should be set within the allowable range shown in Fig. 7 (see the shaded area)
[0031] この許容範囲 Μは、前記 L (mm)と 0 (度)との間の下記(1)〜(5)の関係式を全て 充足する範囲であって、下記(1)〜(5)の関係式によって囲繞される領域によって設 定される。 [0031] This permissible range 範 囲 is a range that satisfies all the following relational expressions (1) to (5) between L (mm) and 0 (degrees), and includes the following (1) to (5 ) Is set by the area surrounded by the relational expression.
[0032] (l) L≤-0. 018 Θ + 15. 807 [0032] (l) L≤-0. 018 Θ + 15. 807
(2) L≤-0. 1438 θ + 21. 597 (2) L≤-0. 1438 θ + 21. 597
(3) L≥-0. 0885 θ + 16. 106 (3) L≥-0. 0885 θ + 16. 106
(4) θ≥20 (4) θ≥20
(5) θ≤60 (5) θ≤60
[0033] なお、図 7中において、直線(1)〜(5)は、それぞれ上記の関係式に対応する直線 を示している。この場合、傾斜角度 Θが 20度未満であるとブーツ 22端部の傾斜面 4 4に対する乗り上げ量が増大してシール性及び位置決め性が劣化すると共に、前記 傾斜角度 Θが 60度を超えると傾斜面 44の機械加工が困難となるからである。 In FIG. 7, straight lines (1) to (5) indicate straight lines corresponding to the above relational expressions, respectively. In this case, if the inclination angle Θ is less than 20 degrees, the amount of riding on the inclined surface 44 of the end of the boot 22 will increase and the sealing performance and positioning will deteriorate, and if the inclination angle Θ exceeds 60 degrees, the inclination will increase. This is because the machining of the surface 44 becomes difficult.
[0034] さらに、シール特性、位置決め性、及び加工性等を総合的に勘案すると最適範囲 Ν (斜線部分参照)は、前記 L (mm)と Θ (度)との下記(6)、(7)の関係式によって囲 繞される領域によって設定されるとよい。図 7中では、(6)式の内容を直線 (6A)と直 線 (6B)とに分けて示し、 (7)式の内容を直線 (7A)と直線 (7B)とに分けて示して ヽ る。 [0034] Furthermore, considering the seal characteristics, positioning properties, workability, etc., the optimum range Ν (see shaded area) is the following (6), (7) of L (mm) and Θ (degrees) ) Should be set according to the area surrounded by the relational expression. In Fig. 7, the contents of Eq. (6) are divided into straight lines (6A) and straight lines (6B), and the contents of Eq. (7) are divided into straight lines (7A) and straight lines (7B).ヽ.
[0035] (6) L= 14. 7±0. 3 [0035] (6) L = 14. 7 ± 0.3
(7) Θ =45± 1. 5 (7) Θ = 45 ± 1.5
[0036] なお、前記(1)〜(7)の関係式は、実験及びシミュレーションによって求められたも のである。 [0036] The relational expressions (1) to (7) are obtained through experiments and simulations.
[0037] 本実施の形態では、以上のように設定された許容範囲 Mに基づいて外輪部材 12 の端部形状 (ブーツ取付部 20の形状)を設定することにより、ブーツバンド 24を締め 付けたときにブーツ 22の固定部 18を外輪部材 12のブーツ取付部 20に対して確実 に位置決めすることができる。 In the present embodiment, the boot band 24 is tightened by setting the end shape of the outer ring member 12 (the shape of the boot mounting portion 20) based on the allowable range M set as described above. Sometimes, the fixing portion 18 of the boot 22 can be reliably positioned with respect to the boot mounting portion 20 of the outer ring member 12.
[0038] 換言すると、図 7に示される許容範囲 Mにおいて外輪部材 12の端面力も被装着面
36を経由し前記被装着面 36に連続する傾斜面 44の頂部 45との間で離間する所定 距離 Lの値と、被装着面 36に対する傾斜面 44の傾斜角度 Θの値とをそれぞれ設定 することにより、ブーツバンド 24を締め付けたときに、該ブーツ 22の固定部 18が軸部 12b側又は端面 35側にずれることがなくブーツ取付部 20に対して確実に位置決め され、さらに、所定のシール性を確保することができると共に、加工性をも考慮した好 適な外輪部材 12の端部形状を設定することができる。 [0038] In other words, the end surface force of the outer ring member 12 in the allowable range M shown in FIG. The value of a predetermined distance L that is separated from the top 45 of the inclined surface 44 that continues to the mounted surface 36 via 36 and the value of the inclination angle Θ of the inclined surface 44 with respect to the mounted surface 36 are set. Thus, when the boot band 24 is tightened, the fixing portion 18 of the boot 22 is securely positioned with respect to the boot mounting portion 20 without being displaced toward the shaft portion 12b side or the end surface 35 side. As a result, it is possible to set a suitable end shape of the outer ring member 12 in consideration of workability.
[0039] この場合、本実施の形態では、外輪部材 12の端面 35をその基準面として確定し、 前記外輪部材 12の端面 35から傾斜面 44の頂部 45までの所定距離を Lとする簡素( 単純)な形状によって設定されているため、外輪部材 12の端部形状の設定手法を簡 便化することができると共に、外輪部材 12の端部形状を容易に設定'変更することが できる。 [0039] In this case, in the present embodiment, the end surface 35 of the outer ring member 12 is determined as the reference surface, and a simple distance from the end surface 35 of the outer ring member 12 to the top 45 of the inclined surface 44 is L ( Since it is set by a simple shape, the method for setting the end shape of the outer ring member 12 can be simplified, and the end shape of the outer ring member 12 can be easily set and changed.
[0040] なお、本実施の形態では、市販の汎用ブーツを前提として、外輪部材 12の端部形 状 (ブーツ取付部 20の形状)を容易に設定することが可能となり、効率的に大量生産 することができてコストダウンを図ることができる。 [0040] In the present embodiment, it is possible to easily set the end shape of the outer ring member 12 (the shape of the boot mounting portion 20) on the assumption of a commercially available general-purpose boot, and mass production can be performed efficiently. This can reduce costs.
