【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、ウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットおよびその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
大径軸部および小径軸部からなり大径軸部が内輪とされる回転軸と、大径軸部に外挿された外輪と、大径軸部と外輪との間に配置された転動体とを備えているウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットは、従来より、よく知られている(特許文献1,2および3参照)。回転軸は、例えば、JIS SUJ−2やSUS440C材を使用し、これを旋削することによりその段付き加工(大径軸部および小径軸部の成形)が行われていた。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来のウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットでは、SUJ−2を旋削することによって段付き加工していることから、旋削加工工程が長くなるとともに、材料費も高くつき、製造コストが高くなるという問題があった。また、旋削後の回転軸の全面に焼入処理(ズブ焼き)を施していることから、その点でも製造コストが増加していた。
【0007】
この発明の目的は、製造コストの減少が可能なウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットおよびその製造方法を提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段および発明の効果】
この発明によるウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットは、大径軸部および小径軸部からなり大径軸部が内輪とされる回転軸と、大径軸部に外挿された外輪と、大径軸部と外輪との間に配置された転動体とを備えているウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットにおいて、回転軸は、炭素鋼材が一体的に冷鍛加工されることにより形成されており、大径軸部のうちの少なくとも転動体に接触する部分に、高周波焼入硬化処理が施されていることを特徴とするものである。
【0009】
炭素鋼としては、例えば、JIS規格S55Cが使用されるが、S45C、SAE1055やSAE1045等でもよい。
【0010】
高周波焼入硬化処理が施される部分は、転動体に接触する部分だけであってもよく、また、転動体に接触する部分およびシールに接触する部分とされてもよい。
【0011】
この発明のウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットによると、段付き加工が旋削でなく冷鍛加工により行われているので、旋削を行うのは軌道溝などの浅い溝だけでよく、旋削時間が大幅に減少するとともに、旋削屑となる材料も減少し、これによって全体の加工時間および材料費を少なくすることができる。また、炭素鋼は、SUJ−2よりも安価であるので、より一層材料費が低減でき、しかも、熱処理がズブ焼きでなく必要部分のみの高周波焼入であるので、加工費が安くかつ処理時間も短時間であり、熱処理費用も低減することができ、軸受ユニットの製造コストをより一層少なくすることができる。
【0012】
この発明によるウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットの製造方法は、大径軸部および小径軸部からなり大径軸部が内輪とされる回転軸と、大径軸部に外挿された外輪と、大径軸部と外輪との間に配置された転動体とを備えているウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットを製造する方法であって、炭素鋼材を一体的に冷鍛加工して回転軸を得る工程と、大径軸部のうちの転動体に接触する部分に高周波焼入硬化処理を施す工程とを備えていることを特徴とするものである。

【0015】
図1および図2は、この発明によるウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニットおよびウォータポンプの実施形態を示している。
【0016】
ウォータポンプ用転がり軸受ユニット(1)は、図2に示すように、大径軸部(11)および小径軸部(12)からなり大径軸部(11)が内輪とされる段付きの回転軸(10)と、大径軸部(11)に外挿されてハウジング(2)に固定される外輪(13)と、大径軸部(11)と外輪(13)との間に配置されたころ(14)および玉(15)とを有している。回転軸(10)の大径軸部側端部(外端部)には、プーリ取付用のシートフランジ(3)が圧入されて、これにプーリベルト(4)が取り付けられている。回転軸(10)の小径軸部側端部(内端部)には、インペラ(5)が取り付けられている。小径軸部(12)には、これとハウジング(2)との間をシールするメカニカルシール(6)が設けられている。
【0017】
大径軸部(11)には、玉(15)を案内する軌道溝(16)が形成されている。大径軸部(11)および小径軸部(12)からなる段付きの回転軸(10)は、JIS規格S55Cの炭素鋼材が一体的に冷鍛加工されることにより形成されている。軌道溝(16)は、その後に旋削加工することにより形成されている。さらに、大径軸のうちのころ(14)および玉(15)に接触する部分(図1に斜線を施している部分)には、高周波焼入硬化処理が施されている。回転軸(10)は、冷鍛加工によって、所要の強靱さを付与され、回転軸(10)のうちのころ(14)および玉(15)に接触する部分に高周波焼入硬化処理が施されることにより、軸受として必要な耐摩耗性および転がり特性が付与される。
【0018】
上記高周波焼入硬化処理は、これをシール(17)(18)の摺動部分に相当する領域にも施すことにより、シール(17)(18)摺動による摩耗を低減し、密封性能を向上することもできる。そして、これらシール(17)(18)摺動領域と転動体(14)(15)に接触する部分以外への高周波焼入硬化処理を行わないことにより、熱処理費用を低減することができる。
【0019】
なお、上記の実施形態では、転動体としてころ(14)と玉(15)とが組み合わされて使用されているが、ころ(14)に代えて玉としてももちろんよい。

The portion to be subjected to the induction hardening treatment may be only the portion that contacts the rolling element, or may be the portion that contacts the rolling element and the portion that contacts the seal.
[0011]
According to the rolling bearing unit for a water pump of the present invention, since the stepped processing is performed by cold forging rather than by turning, only the shallow grooves such as raceway grooves need to be turned, and the turning time is greatly reduced. At the same time, the amount of material to be turned is also reduced, thereby reducing the overall processing time and material cost. In addition, carbon steel is cheaper than SUJ-2, so that the material cost can be further reduced. In addition, since the heat treatment is induction hardening only for the necessary parts instead of subbing, the processing cost is low and the processing time is low. The heat treatment cost can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the bearing unit can be further reduced.

It has a roller (14) and a ball (15). A pulley mounting sheet flange (3) is press-fitted into the large-diameter shaft-side end (outer end) of the rotary shaft (10), and a pulley belt (4) is mounted thereon. An impeller (5) is attached to the small-diameter shaft-side end (inner end) of the rotating shaft (10). The small diameter shaft portion (12) is provided with a mechanical seal (6) for sealing between the small diameter shaft portion (12) and the housing (2).

A track groove (16) for guiding the ball (15) is formed in the large-diameter shaft portion (11). The stepped rotary shaft (10) including the large-diameter shaft portion (11) and the small-diameter shaft portion (12) is formed by integrally cold-forging a JIS-standard S55C carbon steel material. The raceway groove (16) is formed by subsequently turning. Further, a portion of the large-diameter shaft that comes into contact with the roller (14) and the ball (15) (a portion shaded in FIG. 1) is subjected to induction hardening treatment. The rotating shaft (10) is provided with required toughness by cold forging, and a portion of the rotating shaft (10) that comes into contact with the rollers (14) and the balls (15) is subjected to induction hardening treatment. Thereby, the wear resistance and the rolling characteristics required for the bearing are imparted.

The induction hardening treatment is also applied to a region corresponding to a sliding portion of the seals (17) and (18), thereby reducing abrasion due to sliding of the seals (17) and (18) and improving sealing performance. You can also. The heat treatment cost can be reduced by not performing the induction quench hardening treatment on portions other than the contact areas between the sliding regions of the seals (17) and (18) and the rolling elements (14) and (15).
