Description
ここで、第二の軸受体と環状上カバーとを一体化して環状板金がスラスト滑り軸受片と接触する構造にして部品点数を削減することが考えられるが、環状板金がスラスト滑り軸受片と接触する構造であるため、スラスト滑り軸受片が環状板金に対して摺動したときにスラスト滑り軸受片における環状板金側の表面が異常な摩耗の仕方をするという問題があった。
また、径方向における上部ケースに対する円環状板金の位置が決まるため、径方向におけるピストンロッドに対するスラスト滑り軸受の位置を精度よく決めることができる。
さらに、円環状板金の剛性が高まるため、ピストンロッドからの荷重を確実に受け止めることができる。
また、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片の上面および下面を考慮する必要がなくなるため、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片について組み付け方向の間違いなどの誤組み付けを回避することができる。
また、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片は、少なくとも上部ケースの円環状下面と下部ケースの円環状上面との間に配置されてスラスト方向に配設された部材間を円滑に滑らせるものであれば、側視断面形状がL字状などに形成されて、径方向に配設された部分間をも円滑に滑らせるものであっても構わない。
ここで、図1は、本発明の実施例であるスラスト滑り軸受100の一部断面斜視図であり、図2は、本発明の実施例であるスラスト滑り軸受100の分解斜視図であり、図3は、本発明のスラスト滑り軸受100をストラット型サスペンションSSに組み込んだ状態を示す断面図であり、図4Aは、図2に示す符号4Aから視た斜視図であり、図4Bは、図4Aに示す符号4Bから視た底面図であり、図4Cは、図4Bに示す符号4C-4Cで視た断面図であり、図5Aは、図2に示す符号5Aから視た平面図であり、図5Bは、図5Aに示す符号5B-5Bで視た断面図であり、図5Cは、図1に示す符号5Cの箇所の拡大断面図であり、図6は、本実施例の回転止め係合突起131aが回転止め係合溝112aaと係合していない状態を示す内部透視平面図であり、図7は、本実施例の回転止め係合突起131aが回転止め係合溝112aaと係合している状態を示す内部透視平面図である。
このうち、上部ケース110は、ストラット型サスペンションSSのショックアブソーバに用いたピストンロッドSS1(図3参照)の上方先端部に挿着するように構成されている。
上部ケース基部111は、円環状板金140と当接する円環状下面111aと、円環状下面111aより径方向内方に形成された板金係合穴111bとを備えている。
上部ケース内側円筒部112は、上部ケース基部111の円環状下面111aから垂設して下部ケース120に嵌合するように構成されている。
さらに、上部ケース内側円筒部112の外周面である円環状係合外周面112bには、環状の係合突条112baが、円周方向Rに沿って形成されている。
上部ケース外側円筒部113は、下部ケース120の外周を上方から覆うように形成されている。
本実施例では、下部ケース120は、円環状の下部ケース基部121と、外側円筒状突出部122と、内側円筒状突出部123と、下方円筒部124とを一体的に有している。
下部ケース基部121は、上部ケース110の円環状下面111aに対面して形成された円環状上面121aと、円環状上面121aと反対側に形成されてストラット型サスペンションSSのダンパーコイルスプリングSS2からの荷重を受ける円環状下面121bとを備えている。
さらに、外側円筒状突出部122の内周面である円環状係合内周面122aには、環状の係合突条122abが、円周方向Rに沿って形成されている。
下部ケース120の円環状係合内周面122aの係合突条122abが、上部ケース110の円環状係合外周面112bの係合突条112baと係合することにより、上部ケース110と下部ケース120とが、相対的に円周方向Rに回動自在になる。
そして、内側円筒状突出部123は、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の内周と摺動自在に接触するように構成されている。
下方円筒部124は、下部ケース基部121の円環状下面121bの内周端から下方へ突出して設けられ、取付機構ATの円環状のスペーサ部材AT3に挿通するように構成されている。
また、下部ケース基部121の円環状上面121aより径方向外方の環状溝125が、下部ケース基部121の円環状上面121aと下部ケース基部121と外側円筒状突出部122とによって形成されている。
また、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の外周縁131には、径方向外方へ突出した一例として8個の回転止め係合突起131aが形成され、回転止め係合突起131aは、上部ケース110の回転止め係合溝112aaに係合自在に設けられている。
合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の上面132および下面133には、それぞれ円周方向Rに延びた周方向溝132a、133aが円周方向Rに複数配列され、それぞれ周方向溝132a、133aが、グリース等の潤滑油剤の溜まり部となっている。
円環状板金140は、この円環状板金140の径方向外方と径方向内方とに二分する円環状段差部141を有している。
これにより、円環状板金140の剛性が高まる。
また、円環状段差部141より径方向外方の板金外方部142の板金外方下面142aが、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の上面132と対向して接触している。
また、板金外方部142の板金外方上面142bが、上部ケース基部111の円環状下面111aと接触している。
さらに、円環状段差部141より径方向内方の板金内方部143が、上部ケース基部111の板金係合穴111bと係合している。
これにより、径方向Xにおける上部ケース110に対する円環状板金140の位置が決まる。
ストラット型サスペンションSSは、ピストンロッドSS1と、ピストンロッドSS1を用いた例えば油圧式のショックアブソーバと、ダンパーコイルスプリングSS2と、ダンパーコイルスプリングSS2の上端を受容する上部スプリング座部材SS3と、ピストンロッドSS1を取り囲んで配設されたバンプストッパーSS4とを備えている。
取付機構ATは、芯金AT1が埋設された弾性部材AT2と、上部スプリング座部材SS3と下部ケース120の円環状下面121bとの間に介在する円環状のスペーサ部材AT3とを備えている。
弾性部材AT2は、スラスト滑り軸受100を囲繞するとともに、上部ケース110と接触している。
ピストンロッドSS1は、下部ケース120に挿通されるロッド大径部SS1aと、ロッド大径部SS1aと連続して形成されるとともにロッド大径部SS1aより小径に形成されて円環状板金140に挿通されるロッド小径部SS1bと、ロッド小径部SS1bに連続して形成されたロッドねじ部SS1cとを備えている。
ロッド大径部SS1aは、下部ケース120に対して円周方向Rに回動自在に下部ケース120と接触している。
また、ナットSS5の外周には、弾性部材AT2が接触している。
上部ケース110は、弾性部材AT2に保持されているため、円周方向Rに回動しない。
また、円環状板金140も、円周方向Rに回動しないように構成されている。
下部ケース120の回動は、下部ケース120と上部ケース110との間に配設された合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130により滑らかになされ、ステアリング操作も殆ど抵抗なく行われる。
合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130を上部ケース内側円筒部112の内側に組み込む組込工程において、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130が上部ケース内側円筒部112の内側に圧入されるとき、上部ケース110に対する合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の角度である所謂、位相を考慮せずに単に組み込むと、図6に示すように、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の8箇所の回転止め係合突起131aの全てが、上部ケース110の12箇所の回転止め係合溝112aaの全てに係合していないことが多い。
組み込んだときに、この状態であるとして以下に説明する。
これにより、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の外周縁131および回転止め係合突起131aと上部ケース内側円筒部112の内周との間に摩擦力が生じて、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130と上部ケース110との間の摩擦力が、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130と下部ケース120との間の摩擦力より大きくなり、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130が上部ケース110側に保持される保持力が作用する。
さらに、円環状板金140の表面メッキが保たれ、防さび効果が維持される。
これにより、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130が上部ケース内側円筒部112の内側に圧入された状態となる。
また、図5Aに示すように、回転止め係合突起131aが、円周方向Rに等間隔で一例として8個配設されている。
これにより、図6および図7に示すように、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130が上部ケース110に対して回転止め係合溝112aaの等配角度30度と回転止め係合突起131aの等配角度45度との最大公約数の値15である角度15度回動するまでに、複数のうちの一部の回転止め係合突起131aが、一部の回転止め係合溝112aaと係合する。
すなわち、上部ケース110に対する合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の回転角度が小さくて済む。
これにより、回転止め係合溝112aaと回転止め係合突起131aとの係合箇所が3箇所以上となる。
すなわち、上部ケース110の中心と合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の中心とが、精度よく同心となる。
そして、下部ケース120の外側円筒状突出部122の係合突条122abが、上部ケース内側円筒部112の係合突条112baと係合している。
また、図5Cに示すように、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の下面133の外周縁131に沿って軸方向上方へ退避して形成された外周縁段部134が、下部ケース基部121の円環状上面121aの外周縁と対向している。
これにより、万が一に過荷重で合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130が変形してしまった場合であっても、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の変形した部分が、下部ケース基部121の円環状上面121aの外周縁と上部ケース内側円筒部112の内周面112aとの間に入り込まない。
すなわち、所謂、くさび効果が生じて上部ケース110と下部ケース120との相対的な回動を妨げることを回避する。
同様に、回転止め係合突起131aが、軸方向下方に配設されて軸方向Yに対して傾いたテーパ面である下方テーパ面131abを有している。
これにより、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130を上部ケース内側円筒部112の内側に組み込む組込工程において上方テーパ面131aaが上部ケース内側円筒部112と当接して合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130が案内される。
すなわち、合成樹脂製滑り軸受片130の表裏を考慮する必要がなくなる。
