There is a demand for weight reduction of automotive parts, and there is a strong demand for weight reduction of connecting rods. To meet these weight reduction requirements,
The width d of the connecting rod 51 needs to be reduced. But,
When the length of the roller 57 is shortened in accordance with the narrowing of the connecting rod width d, the load acting on the unit length of the roller 57 increases, and the life is shortened. Since the connecting rod is a part that transmits the explosive reciprocating motion of the piston to the crank, the load conditions acting on the bearing are severe, and if the roller length is shortened,
The effect on life is large.

A connecting rod having a through hole at each of the large end and the small end, and a bearing having an outer ring and a plurality of rollers rolling along a rolling surface of the outer ring, and fitted into each of the through holes. In the connecting rod with bearing provided, the length of the rollers is
It is characterized in that it is longer than the width of the connecting rod in the direction of the through hole. According to this configuration, since the length of the rollers is longer than the width of the connecting rod, even if the width of the connecting rod is reduced to reduce the weight of the connecting rod, the roller length can be secured and the life of the bearing can be extended.

In the present invention, the inner diameter of the rolling surface of the outer ring becomes larger toward the opening, and the difference between the minimum diameter of the inner diameter of the rolling surface and the inner diameter of the rolling surface at the end of the roller is two.
It may be set to 0 μm or less. When a roller bearing whose roller length is longer than the connecting rod width is press-fitted into the hole of the connecting rod, the outer ring may be deformed so that the inner diameter of the rolling surface increases toward the opening. In this case, if the inner diameter of the rolling surface at the position of the roller end is larger than the minimum diameter of the rolling surface by 20 μm, the rolling surface will not support the roller at the position of the roller end. Therefore, the diameter difference is set to 20 μm or less. This value of 20 μm or less is usually
Since the cylindricity is required to be 20 μm or less as the rolling surface accuracy of the bearing, the value is a value that ensures the cylindricity.

Through holes 5 are provided in the large end 3 and the small end 4. The bearing 6 has an outer ring 7 and a plurality of rollers 8 rolling along a rolling surface formed of an inner diameter surface of the outer ring 7, and each roller 8 is held by a ring-shaped retainer 9. The rollers 8 and the retainers 9 constitute rollers with retainers that are mutually assembled parts, and the rollers with retainers can be inserted into the outer race 7. The outer ring 7 has a straight cylindrical shape.

The length B of the roller 8 is longer than the width A of the connecting rod 1 in the through direction of the through hole 5. Connecting rod 1
Is such that the width of the large end 3 and the small end 4 is the width A, and the width of the rod 2 is smaller than the width A.
The width of the outer ring 7 of the bearing 6 is formed larger than the length B of the roller 8. Here, the length B of the roller 8 refers to the total length of the roller 8, and the effective length of the roller 8, that is, the length of the portion where the outer peripheral surface has a cylindrical shape is referred to as a connecting rod width A. It is preferable to make the length longer. The effective length of the roller 8 is a length excluding the length of the chamfered portion when the end of the roller 8 has a chamfered portion. Therefore, the effective roller length matches the effective width of the rolling surface when the rolling surface of the outer ring 7 is considered to be a geometric cylindrical surface.

In this embodiment, since the roller length B is longer than the connecting rod width A, the bearing life can be improved while the weight is reduced as described above, but the roller length B is larger than the connecting rod width A. If the roller bearing 6 is press-fitted into the through hole 5 of the connecting rod 1, the outer race 7 is deformed so that the inner diameter of the rolling surface becomes larger toward the opening side, as shown in FIG. In this case, the roller rolling run side inner diameter D at the position of the end portion B (Fig. 3) is is like a large diameter difference ΔD occur than 20μm compared to rolling contact surface minimum diameter D 0, rolling run surface roller end portion When the roller 8 is no longer supported at the position (2) and the roller length B is increased, the roller contact length la cannot actually be sufficiently increased. Therefore, the diameter difference ΔD is set to 2
It is defined as 0 μm or less. The numerical value of 20 μm or less usually means that the cylindricity is 20 μm as the rolling contact surface accuracy of the bearing.
Since it is necessary to set the following, the value was set to ensure the cylindricity. Since the diameter difference ΔD is defined in this manner, a long life can be ensured even though the inner diameter of the outer raceway 7 on the opening side of the rolling surface is increased as described above. Since the inner diameter of the rolling surface of the outer ring 7 is larger toward the opening side, a state in which a large load acts on the end of the roller 8 (so-called edge load) does not occur, and the rotational torque is abnormally large. It won't be.

In order to suppress the diameter difference ΔD to 20 μm or less, it is effective to use an outer ring 7 having high rigidity. That is, the outer ring 7 having high rigidity capable of suppressing the diameter difference ΔD to 20 μm or less is used. As the outer ring 7 having such rigidity, for example, a cutout type outer ring having a straight cylindrical shape has a certain thickness.
The thickness of the outer ring 7 is set according to the interference with the through-hole 5 of the connecting rod 1. The material of the outer ring 7 may be bearing steel or low carbon steel. In addition, the material of the cage 9 is not limited, and may be any of a pressed, welded, and machined cage. The cage 9 may be subjected to a surface treatment for preventing image sticking.

According to the present invention, in a connecting rod with a bearing in which a bearing having an outer ring and a roller is fitted in through holes at a large end and a small end of a connecting rod, the length of the roller is reduced by the through hole of the connecting rod. Since the width is longer than the width in the direction, both weight reduction and long life can be realized. When the inner diameter of the rolling surface of the outer ring becomes larger toward the opening, and the difference between the minimum diameter of the inner diameter of the rolling surface and the inner diameter of the rolling surface at the end of the roller is set to 20 μm or less, press-fitting of the outer ring of the bearing is performed. Therefore, even if the inner diameter of the rolling surface is deformed so as to become larger toward the opening, the roller end can be supported by the rolling surface, and a longer life can be secured. When the rod portion has a recess or a hole, the weight can be further reduced.
