Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the sealing property of a sealing plate incorporated into a rolling bearing. SOLUTION: An angle formed between an inclined side face 20 constituting the end edge 12b of a seal lip 11c and the side wall surface 15 of a seal groove 13 is regulated to inhibit elastic deformation of the seal lip 11c which may lead to a lesser sealing property. An angle formed between an inner peripheral surface 22 and the bottom surface 21 of the seal groove 13 is regulated to prevent foreign objects from the external from collecting within the seal groove 13. A curved surface portion 23 is brought into sliding contact with the side wall surface 15 to stabilize the state of contact of the seal lip 11c.

In order to prevent the grease from leaking due to such a cause, it has been attempted to improve the sealing performance by devising a structure of a sealing plate or the like. For example, FIG.
26 shows a rolling bearing 1a with a sealing plate described in Japanese Patent No. 26449. The sealing plate 8a to be incorporated into the rolling bearing 1a with a sealing plate includes an edge 12a of a sealing lip 11a forming an inner peripheral edge of the elastic member 10a and the sealing lip 11a.

As shown in FIG. 10, a seal lip 1 constituting an inner peripheral edge of an elastic member 10b constituting a sealing plate 8b.
1b is bifurcated, and the seal lip 11b is positioned at two axially separated positions on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the inner ring 3 so as to straddle the seal groove 13 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the inner race 3. A structure in which sliding contact is performed over the entire circumference is also conventionally known. Further, although not shown, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-2
93571 and JP-A-7-139553,
The seal lip forming the inner peripheral edge portion of the elastic material is slidably contacted with the axially outer side wall surface of the pair of side wall surfaces forming the seal groove, and the diametric length and the axial thickness of the seal lip are regulated. By doing so, a structure for ensuring a sealing property is described. Furthermore, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-27859 discloses that
Similarly, there is described a structure in which a seal lip is slidably contacted with an axially outer side wall surface and a variable labyrinth gap is formed by another seal lip which is displaced by centrifugal force, thereby ensuring sealability.

In the case of the conventionally known rolling bearings 1 and 1a with a sealing plate which are constructed and operate as described above, there are the following points to be solved. First, FIG.
8, the angle between the edge 12 of the seal lip 11 and the side wall surface 15 of the seal groove 13 is small. That is, the side wall surface 15 and the side wall surface 15
The angle α formed between the edge portion 12 and the inclined side surface 20 facing the edge portion 12 is small. For this reason, when grease is pushed out to the seal groove 13 side and enters between the side wall surface 15 and the inclined side surface 20, a wedge action accompanying the entry of the grease works, and the seal lip 11 is moved from the side wall surface 15 from the side wall surface 15. It is easy to be elastically deformed in the direction away from it, and a minute gap is easily generated between the seal lip 11 and the side wall surface 15. In addition, the edge portion 12 of the seal lip 11 and the sliding contact portion between the seal groove 13 are likely to make surface contact, and it is difficult to maintain a stable contact state.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-226449 shown in FIG.
In the case of the structure described in the official gazette, since the constricted portion 19 is provided at the inner peripheral edge of the elastic member 10a, the seal lip 11a is provided.
Are easily deformed elastically, and a minute gap is easily generated between the seal lip 11a and the side wall surface 15. Also, this seal lip 11
Since the angle θ 17 formed between the one inclined side surface 17 forming the edge 12 a of FIG. 1a and the side wall surface 15 of the seal groove 13 is increased, the axial dimension of the entire sealing plate 8 b increases. Further, the other inclined side surface 18 constituting the edge portion 12a is formed.
Foreign matter easily accumulates between the side wall surface 15 and
In addition, the accumulated foreign matter pushes the seal lip 11a away from the side wall surface 15. Because of this,
In particular, when the outer ring is used for rotation, it is difficult to prevent the foreign matter from entering.

In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 10, the inner ring 3 is formed on the basis of the shape and dimensional error of the seal groove 13 and the displacement between the center axes of the inner ring 3 and the outer ring 5 due to external force applied during use. The contact state of the sliding contact portion between the outer peripheral surface of the end portion and the leading edge of the seal lip 11b is likely to vary, and it is difficult to obtain stable sealing performance.

Further, in the case of the structures described in JP-A-7-293571 and JP-A-7-139553, the seal lip is slidably contacted with the axially outer side wall surface to release the pressure in the internal space. It is necessary to provide an air hole of
Grease easily leaks from these air holes. In addition,
In the case of the structure described in Japanese Patent No. 27859, the seal lip forming the labyrinth gap is easily hardened due to thermal deterioration or the like, and the flexibility of the grease slip cannot be sufficiently secured for a long time. It is difficult to maintain good sealing properties over a long period of time. The rolling bearing with a sealing plate of the present invention has been invented to solve any of the above-mentioned disadvantages.

The rolling bearing with a sealing plate according to the present invention has the same structure as the above-mentioned conventional rolling bearing with a sealing plate.
An inner ring having an inner raceway on the outer peripheral surface, an outer race having an outer raceway on the inner peripheral surface, a plurality of rolling elements provided rotatably between the inner raceway and the outer raceway; And a sealing plate whose outer peripheral edge is engaged with an engaging groove formed on the inner peripheral surface of the end of the outer ring over the entire circumference. Then, the edge of the elastic material constituting the inner peripheral edge of the sealing plate is brought into sliding contact with the side wall surface of a seal groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the inner ring. In particular, in the rolling bearing with a sealing plate of the present invention, the edge portion of the elastic material has an inclined side surface facing the side wall surface of the seal groove, and is located diametrically inward from the inclined side surface. An inner peripheral surface facing the bottom surface of the seal groove, and a continuous portion that connects the inclined side surface and the inner peripheral surface are provided. Then, the continuous portion is slidably contacted with the side wall surface of the seal groove, and the angle formed between the side wall surface and the inclined side surface in a state where the continuous portion is in contact with the side wall surface is 10 to 45 degrees ( (Preferably 30 to 40 degrees), and the bottom surface of the seal groove and the inner peripheral surface are inclined relatively to each other in a direction parallel or closer to the axially outer end surface side of the inner ring so as to be closer to the outer surface. The angle formed with the inner peripheral surface is set to 0 to 30 degrees (preferably, 10 to 20 degrees). Preferably, the continuous portion is a curved portion having a circular cross section. In addition, L is the axial interference between the edge of the elastic material and the sidewall of the seal groove, and P is the force that presses the edge against the sidewall based on the rigidity of the sealing plate. In this case, the P / L is set to 2.9 to 9.8 N / mm (300 to 1000 gf / mm), and the interference L is set to 1 to the diameter of the ball as the rolling element.

In the case of the rolling bearing with a sealing plate of the present invention constructed as described above, the angle between the side wall surface of the seal groove and the inclined side surface facing this side wall surface is 10 to 45 degrees, more preferably 30 to 45 degrees. Since the angle is restricted to 40 degrees, even if the grease is pushed out to the seal groove side, the elastic material is hardly elastically deformed by the wedge action, and a minute gap is hardly generated between the elastic material and the side wall surface. When the angle is less than 10 degrees, the minute gap is easily generated due to a wedge effect generated when grease is pushed out to the seal groove side. On the other hand, when the angle exceeds 45 degrees, the rigidity of the portion where the inclined side surface is formed at the edge of the elastic member is reduced.
In other words, when the grease is pushed out to the seal groove side, the force for pushing the inclined side surface by the grease increases, so that the minute gap also tends to occur. Therefore, the angle is restricted to a range of 10 to 45 degrees. If the angle is in the range of 30 to 40 degrees, the occurrence of the minute gap can be more effectively prevented.

The bottom face of the seal groove and the bottom face of the seal groove are relatively opposed to each other in a direction in which the distance between the bottom face of the seal groove and the inner peripheral face becomes parallel or becomes larger toward the outer end face side in the axial direction of the inner ring. To make an angle of 0 to 30 degrees, more preferably 10 to 20 degrees.
Foreign matter that has entered the seal groove from the outside and has come into contact with the inner peripheral surface does not push the edge of the elastic material away from the side wall surface. If the inclination direction is reversed, the edge of the elastic material tends to separate from the side wall surface due to the foreign matter that has entered the seal groove, and there is a possibility that the sealing property is reduced. Even if the inclination direction is as described above, if the angle formed between the bottom surface of the seal groove and the inner peripheral surface opposed to the bottom surface exceeds 30 degrees, the edge of the elastic material will The thickness of the portion in sliding contact with the side wall surface is reduced, the rigidity of this portion is reduced, and it is difficult to secure the surface pressure of the sliding contact portion between the edge portion and the side wall surface, and it is also difficult to secure sufficient sealing performance. Become. Therefore, the inclination direction and the inclination angle between the bottom surface and the inner peripheral surface of the seal groove,
Regulated as described above. If the inclination angle is in the range of 10 to 20 degrees, the above-mentioned sealing performance can be more effectively ensured.

If the continuous portion that connects the inclined side surface and the inner peripheral surface is a curved surface portion having an arc-shaped cross section, the sliding contact between the continuous portion and the side wall surface of the seal groove can be stabilized. Better sealing performance can be ensured. Further, when the axial interference between the edge portion of the elastic material and the side wall surface of the seal groove is L, and the force for pressing the edge portion against the side wall surface based on the rigidity of the sealing plate is P. In addition, P / L is 2.9-9.8N /
mm (300 to 1000 gf / mm), and when the above-mentioned interference L is 1 to 3% of the diameter of the ball as the rolling element, the elastic deformation of the elastic material, which leads to a decrease in the sealing property, is less likely to occur. Further, sealing properties can be ensured. If the P / L is less than 2.9 N / mm and the interference L is less than 1%, the contact pressure at the sliding contact portion between the continuous portion and the side wall surface is too low, and sufficient sealing properties are obtained. It becomes difficult. Also, the above P / L is 2.9.
If it is less than N / mm and the above-mentioned interference L exceeds 3%, the rigidity of the sealing plate is too low, the fluctuation of the outer peripheral edge of the sealing plate becomes large, and it becomes difficult to obtain a stable sealing property. Conversely, when the P / L exceeds 9.8 N / mm and the interference L is 1%
If it is less than 7, the rigidity of the sealing plate is too high, and the contact pressure fluctuates greatly even with a slight displacement, and it is also difficult to obtain a stable sealing property. On the other hand, when the P / L exceeds 9.8 N / mm and the interference L exceeds 3%, the contact pressure of the sliding contact portion becomes excessive, and the rotational torque of the rolling bearing with a sealing plate is reduced. Because of the large size, the continuous portion wears out, and it becomes impossible to secure the sealing performance for a long period of time.

Also, the bottom surface of the seal groove 13 is relatively parallel to the bottom surface 21 of the seal groove 13 and the inner peripheral surface 22 in such a direction that the distance between the bottom surface 21 and the inner peripheral surface 22 becomes larger toward the outer end surface side of the inner race 3 in the axial direction. 21 and an inner peripheral surface 22 facing the bottom surface 21
Is 0 to 30 degrees, more preferably 10 to 2 degrees.
Since it is inclined so as to be 0 degrees, foreign matter that has entered the seal groove 13 from the outside and has come into contact with the inner peripheral surface 22 causes the edge 12 b of the elastic member 10 c to move toward the side wall surface 15.
It does not push away from you. The seal groove 13
The foreign matter that has entered inside is subjected to a component force in the direction of coming out of the seal groove 13 due to the contact with the inner peripheral surface 22.
Foreign matter hardly accumulates in the seal groove 13. In the illustrated example, the curved surface portion 23 having an arc-shaped cross section is slidably contacted with the side wall surface 15 of the seal groove 13, so that a stable contact state can be maintained. Furthermore, by restricting the interference L and the pressing force P of the edge portion 12b of the seal lip 11c, the elastic deformation of the seal lip 11c is more unlikely to occur, and the sealing performance is further improved. Incidentally, as a cage of the rolling bearing with a sealing plate of the present invention, for example, Japanese Patent Application No.
The use of a retainer having a structure for preventing grease from remaining on the inner diameter side, as described in JP-295823-A, makes it possible to more effectively secure the above-mentioned sealing performance.

In the case of this example, the dust lip 25a provided on the outer peripheral portion of the seal lip 11d at the inner peripheral edge of the elastic member 10d constituting the sealing plate 8d is made to protrude in the axial direction from the inner peripheral portion of the outer surface of the seal lip 11d. Thus, the outer diameter side of the outer half opening of the seal groove 13 is closed. The structure and operation of the dust lip 25a are substantially the same as those of the first example except that the shape of the seal lip 11d is slightly different from that of the dust lip 25a.
