【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、内燃機関のクランク軸等を支持するための軸受構造に係り、特に、組み付け時に軸受メタルが径方向に変形して真円度が悪化することを防止した軸受構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
内燃機関のクランク軸等を支持する軸受構造として、図1に示すようなものが知られている。
【0003】
この軸受構造は、半円形状の内周面1aを有するボディ1と、その上部に取り付けられ、同じく半円形状の内周面2aを有するキャップ2と、それらボディ1及びキャップ2の内周面1a,2aにより形成されるジャーナル穴内に組み込まれる軸受メタル3とを備える。軸受メタル3は、ボディ1の内周面1aに組み付けられる半割円筒形状の下メタル5と、キャップ2の内周面2aに組み付けられる半割円筒形状の上メタル4とからなる2分割構造である。
【0004】
図6は、上メタル4及び下メタル5の突き合わせ面4a,5aを図1の矢印A方向から見た拡大図である。図から分かるように、上メタル4及び下メタル5の突き合わせ面4a,5aは回転軸6の軸線CLとほぼ平行に延出する。このような軸受構造は、例えば特許文献1に開示されている。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
特開平10−30419号公報
【特許文献2】
特許第2971352号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、このような軸受構造においては、上下メタル4,5のジャーナル穴内での安定性及び密着性を確保して、上下メタル4,5が回転軸6と共回りすることを防止する必要がある。そこで、上下メタル4,5をボディ1及びキャップ2の内周面1a,2aよりも若干大きめのサイズに形成し、キャップ2をボディ1に対して締付ボルト7(図1参照)で締め付けることにより上下メタル4,5を圧縮して組み付けるようにしている。
【0007】
例えば、図7に示すように、ボディ1の内周面1aと同形状の内周面8を有する治具9を用意し、その治具9に対して、下メタル5(あるいは反転した上メタル4)を、一方の突き合わせ面5aが治具9の上面9aと同一面上に位置するように配置し、他方の突き合わせ面5aに所定の負荷(荷重)をかけたときに、その突き合わせ面5aが治具9の上面9aから所定寸法h(例えば、0.1mm程度)だけ突出するようなサイズに設計される。
【0008】
このように、上下メタル4,5の両方ともボディ1及びキャップ2の内周面1a,2aよりも大きく設計されるため、両メタル4,5をボディ1とキャップ2との間に組み付けると、ボディ1とキャップ2との間に上記寸法hの2倍の隙間が生じることになる。そして、締付ボルト7により、この隙間がなくなるまでキャップ2をボディ1に対して締め付けるのであるが、従来の軸受構造では、この組み付け時(締付時)に上メタル4又は下メタル5が径方向内側に変形してしまい、真円度が悪化するという問題があった。
【0009】
これを、図8を用いて説明する。
【0010】
まず、図8(a)に示すように、ボディ1の内周面1aに下メタル5を装着し、そのボディ1に対して、内周面2aに上メタル4を装着したキャップ2を組み付ける。この際、下メタル5及び上メタル4の一方(図中左側)の突き合わせ面4a,5aをボディ1の上面1bと同一面上に位置させ、その側(図中左側)でキャップ2の下面2bとボディ1の上面1bとを接触させる。他側では、キャップ2の下面2bとボディ1の上面1bとの間に初期隙間Wが生じる。
【0011】
そして、図8(b)に示すように、初期隙間Wがなくなるまでキャップ2を締め付けて上下メタル4,5を圧入するのであるが、このとき、上下メタル4,5に生じる圧縮応力によって、上メタル4の下メタル5との突き合わせ面4aが径方向内側へと滑って変形してしまう。この結果、上下メタル4,5の真円度が悪化する。
【0012】
これを防止するために、キャップ2と上メタル4とを一体化して剛性を高めて、上メタル4の変形を防止した軸受構造が提案されている(例えば特許文献2)。しかしながら、この軸受構造は構造が複雑であるため、よりシンプルな軸受構造が望まれていた。
【0013】
そこで、本発明の目的は、よりシンプルな構造で、軸受メタルの真円度悪化を防止できる軸受構造を提供することにある。
【0014】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために本発明は、内周面に半割円筒形状の下メタルが装着されたボディに対して、内周面に半割円筒形状の上メタルが装着されたキャップを、上記上メタルと下メタルとの間に回転軸を配置させ、かつ上記上下メタルを互いに突き合わせた状態で締め付けて組み付ける軸受構造であって、上記上下メタルの突き合わせ面に上記回転軸の軸方向に傾斜した傾斜部を設けたものである。
【0015】
この構造によれば、上記上下メタルを圧縮したときに、上下メタルの少なくとも一方が上記回転軸の軸方向に変形して上下メタルが径方向に変形することを防止するため、真円度が悪化することがない。
【0016】
ここで、上記上下メタルの突き合わせ面に、上記回転軸の軸方向とほぼ平行に延出する平行部を更に設け、上記傾斜部と上記平行部との接続部をR形状とするようにしても良い。
【0017】
こうすれば、上下メタルが軸方向に変形するときに、傾斜部と平行部との間に亀裂などが発生することを防止できる。
【0018】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の好適な一実施形態を添付図面に基づいて詳述する。
【0019】
本実施形態に係る軸受構造は、内燃機関のクランク軸を軸支するためのものであり、その基本的な構造が図1に示される。
【0020】
即ち、本実施形態に係る軸受構造は、半円形状の内周面1aを有するボディ1と、ボディ1の上部に取り付けられ、同じく半円形状の内周面2aを有するキャップ2と、それらボディ1及びキャップ2の内周面1a,2aにより形成されるジャーナル穴内に組み込まれる軸受メタル3とを備える。軸受メタル3は、ボディ1の内周面1aに組み付けられる半割円筒形状の下メタル5と、キャップ2の内周面2aに組み付けられる半割円筒形状の上メタル4とからなる2分割構造である。
【0021】
上下メタル4,5は、ボディ1及びキャップ2の内周面1a,2aよりも若干大きめのサイズに形成され、キャップ2をボディ1に対して締付ボルト7で締め付けて上下メタル4,5を圧縮して組み付けることにより、上下メタル4,5が回転軸6と共回りすることを防止している。
【0022】
本実施形態の軸受構造の従来と異なる点は、上下メタル4,5を圧縮したときに、上下メタル4,5の少なくとも一方を回転軸6の軸方向に変形させるべく、上下メタル4,5の突き合わせ面4a,5aに回転軸6の軸方向(紙面前後方向)に傾斜した傾斜部を設けた点にある。
【0023】
図2及び図3を用いて、上下メタル4,5の突き合わせ面4a,5aについて説明する。図2は、上下メタル4,5の突き合わせ面4a,5aを示す拡大斜視図であり、図3は上下メタル4,5を互いに突き合わせた状態を示す拡大側面図であり、図1の矢印A方向から見た状態を示している。
【0024】
図に示すように、上メタル4の突き合わせ面4aは、軸方向中央部に形成され、下方に突出した台形形状の凸部11と、凸部11の軸方向両側部に形成された平面部12とを有する。凸部11は、回転軸6の軸線CLとほぼ平行に延出する頂部13と、頂部13の軸方向両側に形成され、上方に向かって軸方向外側に傾斜した傾斜部14とを備える。
【0025】
一方、下メタル5の突き合わせ面5aは、軸方向中央部に形成され、上メタル4の凸部11とほぼ同形状に窪んだ凹部15と、凹部15の軸方向両側部に形成された平面部16とを有する。凹部15は、回転軸6の軸線CLとほぼ平行に延出する底部(平行部)17と、底部17の軸方向両側に形成され、上方に向かって軸方向外側に傾斜した傾斜部18とを備える。
【0026】
上下メタル4,5を互いの突き合わせ面4a,5aで突き合わせると、上メタル4の凸部11が下メタル5の凹部15内にくさび状に嵌合され、平面部12と平面部16、傾斜部14と傾斜部18及び頂部13と底部17とがそれぞれ接触する。なお、キャップ2を締め付ける前、つまり、上下メタル4,5を圧縮する前の状態において、上メタル4の平面部12と下メタル5の平面部16、及び上メタル4の頂部13と下メタル5の底部17との間に若干の隙間が生じるようにしても良い。
【0027】
係る軸受構造を組み付ける際には、まず、図8(a)に示すように、ボディ1の内周面1aに下メタル5を装着し、そのボディ1に対して、内周面2aに上メタル4を装着したキャップ2を、上メタル4と下メタル5との間に回転軸6を配置させ、かつ上下メタル4,5とを互いの突き合わせ面4a,5aで突き合わせた状態で組み付ける。この際、下メタル5及び上メタル4の一方(図中左側)の突き合わせ面4a,5aをボディ1の上面1bと同一面上に位置させ、その側(図中左側)でキャップ2の下面2bとボディ1の上面1bとを接触させる。他側では、キャップ2の下面2bとボディ1の上面1bとの間に初期隙間Wが生じる。
【0028】
そして、この初期隙間Wがなくなるまでキャップ2を締め付けて、上下メタル4,5を圧入するのであるが、このとき、図3に示すように、上下メタル4,5に圧縮応力Pが発生すると、その圧縮応力Pの一部が、傾斜部14,18を介して、下メタル5の軸方向両端部(平面部)16を軸方向外側へ押す力fとして伝達され、下メタル5の軸方向両端部16が軸方向外側に変形する。言い換えれば、上メタル4の凸部11と下メタル5の凹部15とのくさび効果によって、凹部15が軸方向に押し開かれる。これによって圧縮応力の一部が吸収される。従って、キャップ2をボディ1に初期隙間Wがなくなるまで締め付けても、上メタル4が径方向に変形することはなく、上下メタル4,5の真円度が悪化することはない。つまり、上下メタル4,5を圧縮したときに、平面部12,16、頂部13及び底部17によってその圧力を受けて上下メタル4,5の締め付けを可能にする一方で、傾斜部14,18によって上下メタル4,5の少なくとも一方を、回転軸6の軸方向に積極的に変形させることによって、上下メタル4,5が径方向に変形することを防止している。
【0029】
このように、本実施形態の軸受構造では、非常にシンプルな構造で、上下メタル4,5の真円度悪化を防止することができる。また、従来通り上下メタル4,5を圧入することができるので、上下メタル4,5が回転軸6と共回りすることはない。
【0030】
なお、凸部11の高さ及び凹部15の深さや、傾斜部14,18の傾斜角度などは、初期隙間Wの寸法などを考慮して適宜設定される。
【0031】
ここで、上下メタル4,5が圧縮されて下メタル5の軸方向両端部16が変形するときに、凹部15の底部(平行部)17と傾斜部18との接続部20に応力が集中して亀裂が発生することを防止するために、接続部20は丸みをつけたR形状とすることが好ましい。
【0032】
これまで、上メタル4に凸部11を設け、下メタル5に凹部15を設けるとして説明したが、これとは逆に、上メタル4に凹部を形成し、下メタル5に凸部を形成しても同じ効果が得られることは勿論である。
【0033】
図4及び図5を用いて、本発明の他の実施形態について説明する。
【0034】
図4に示した形態は、上メタル4の突き合わせ面4a全体が凸状に形成され、下メタル5の突き合わせ面5a全体が凹状に形成されたものでる。上メタル4の凸部21は、軸方向両側部に形成され、下方に向かって軸方向内側に傾斜した傾斜面22と、傾斜面22間をつなぐR部23とを備える。下メタル5の凹部24は、軸方向両側部に形成され、下方に向かって軸方向内側に傾斜した傾斜面25と、傾斜面25間をつなぐR部26とを備える。
【0035】
この形態でも、図3に示した形態と同様に、上下メタル4,5に圧縮応力Pが発生すると、下メタル5の凹部24が軸方向外側に開かれるように変形し、上下メタル4,5が径方向に変形することを防止する。この形態においても、凹部24を上メタル4に設け、凸部21を下メタル5に設けてもよいことは勿論である。
【0036】
図5に示した形態は、上下メタル4,5の突き合わせ面4a,5a各々の軸方向中間部に一つの傾斜部30,31をそれぞれ形成したものである。傾斜部30,31の両側にはそれぞれ平面部32a,32b及び平面部33a,33bが形成される。言い換えれば、上メタル4の突き合わせ面4aの一側(図中右側)に、下方に突出した凸部33が形成され、下メタル5の突き合わせ面5aの他側(図中左側)に上方に突出した凸部34が形成される。上下メタル4,5が圧縮されると、上下メタル4,5各々の凸部33,34が軸方向外側へと押されて変形する。従って、この形態でも上下メタル4,5が径方向に変形することを防止できる。
【0037】

以上要するに本発明によれば、非常にシンプルな構造で、組み付け時に軸受メタルが径方向に変形して真円度が悪化することを防止できるという優れた効果を発揮するものである。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a bearing structure for supporting a crankshaft or the like of an internal combustion engine, and more particularly to a bearing structure for preventing a bearing metal from being deformed in a radial direction at the time of assembling and degrading roundness.
[0002]
[Prior art]
BACKGROUND ART As a bearing structure for supporting a crankshaft or the like of an internal combustion engine, the one shown in FIG. 1 is known.
[0003]
This bearing structure includes a body 1 having a semicircular inner peripheral surface 1a, a cap 2 attached to an upper portion thereof and also having a semicircular inner peripheral surface 2a, and inner peripheral surfaces of the body 1 and the cap 2. Bearing metal 3 incorporated in the journal hole formed by 1a and 2a. The bearing metal 3 has a two-part structure composed of a half-cylindrical lower metal 5 assembled to the inner peripheral surface 1a of the body 1 and a half-cylindrical upper metal 4 assembled to the inner peripheral surface 2a of the cap 2. is there.
[0004]
FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the butted surfaces 4a and 5a of the upper metal 4 and the lower metal 5 as viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. As can be seen from the figure, the butting surfaces 4 a and 5 a of the upper metal 4 and the lower metal 5 extend substantially parallel to the axis CL of the rotating shaft 6. Such a bearing structure is disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-30419 [Patent Document 2]
Japanese Patent No. 2971352 [0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in such a bearing structure, it is necessary to secure the stability and adhesion of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 in the journal holes to prevent the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 from rotating together with the rotating shaft 6. . Therefore, the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are formed to be slightly larger than the inner peripheral surfaces 1a and 2a of the body 1 and the cap 2, and the cap 2 is tightened to the body 1 with the tightening bolts 7 (see FIG. 1). The upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are compressed and assembled.
[0007]
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, a jig 9 having an inner peripheral surface 8 having the same shape as the inner peripheral surface 1a of the body 1 is prepared, and the lower metal 5 (or the inverted upper metal 4) is arranged such that one butting surface 5a is located on the same plane as the upper surface 9a of the jig 9, and when a predetermined load (load) is applied to the other butting surface 5a, the butting surface 5a Are designed to project from the upper surface 9a of the jig 9 by a predetermined dimension h (for example, about 0.1 mm).
[0008]
As described above, since both the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are designed to be larger than the inner peripheral surfaces 1 a and 2 a of the body 1 and the cap 2, when the both metals 4 and 5 are assembled between the body 1 and the cap 2, A gap twice as large as the dimension h is generated between the body 1 and the cap 2. Then, the cap 2 is tightened to the body 1 by the tightening bolts 7 until the gap disappears. In the conventional bearing structure, the upper metal 4 or the lower metal 5 has a smaller diameter at the time of assembling (at the time of tightening). There is a problem that the shape is deformed inward in the direction and the roundness is deteriorated.
[0009]
This will be described with reference to FIG.
[0010]
First, as shown in FIG. 8A, the lower metal 5 is mounted on the inner peripheral surface 1a of the body 1, and the cap 2 with the upper metal 4 mounted on the inner peripheral surface 2a is attached to the body 1. At this time, the butting surfaces 4a, 5a of one of the lower metal 5 and the upper metal 4 (left side in the figure) are positioned on the same plane as the upper surface 1b of the body 1, and the lower surface 2b of the cap 2 is positioned on that side (left side in the figure). And the upper surface 1b of the body 1 are brought into contact with each other. On the other side, an initial gap W occurs between the lower surface 2b of the cap 2 and the upper surface 1b of the body 1.
[0011]
Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the cap 2 is tightened until the initial gap W disappears, and the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are press-fitted. The abutting surface 4a of the metal 4 with the lower metal 5 slides inward in the radial direction and is deformed. As a result, the roundness of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 deteriorates.
[0012]
In order to prevent this, a bearing structure has been proposed in which the rigidity is increased by integrating the cap 2 and the upper metal 4 to prevent the deformation of the upper metal 4 (for example, Patent Document 2). However, since the structure of this bearing structure is complicated, a simpler bearing structure has been desired.
[0013]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bearing structure that can prevent the roundness of a bearing metal from deteriorating with a simpler structure.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cap having a half-cylindrical upper metal mounted on an inner peripheral surface thereof, for a body having a half-cylindrical lower metal mounted on an inner peripheral surface thereof, A bearing structure in which a rotating shaft is arranged between an upper metal and a lower metal, and the upper and lower metals are assembled in a state where the upper and lower metals are abutted against each other, and are inclined in the axial direction of the rotating shaft on the abutting surfaces of the upper and lower metals. An inclined portion is provided.
[0015]
According to this structure, when the upper and lower metals are compressed, at least one of the upper and lower metals is prevented from being deformed in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the upper and lower metals are prevented from being deformed in the radial direction. I can't.
[0016]
Here, a parallel portion extending substantially in parallel with the axial direction of the rotating shaft is further provided on the abutting surfaces of the upper and lower metals, and a connecting portion between the inclined portion and the parallel portion is formed in an R shape. good.
[0017]
With this configuration, when the upper and lower metals are deformed in the axial direction, it is possible to prevent a crack or the like from being generated between the inclined portion and the parallel portion.
[0018]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019]
The bearing structure according to the present embodiment is for supporting a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, and its basic structure is shown in FIG.
[0020]
That is, the bearing structure according to the present embodiment includes a body 1 having a semicircular inner peripheral surface 1a, a cap 2 attached to an upper portion of the body 1, and also having a semicircular inner peripheral surface 2a, 1 and a bearing metal 3 incorporated in a journal hole formed by the inner peripheral surfaces 1 a and 2 a of the cap 2. The bearing metal 3 has a two-part structure composed of a half-cylindrical lower metal 5 assembled to the inner peripheral surface 1a of the body 1 and a half-cylindrical upper metal 4 assembled to the inner peripheral surface 2a of the cap 2. is there.
[0021]
The upper and lower metals 4, 5 are formed slightly larger than the inner peripheral surfaces 1a, 2a of the body 1 and the cap 2, and the cap 2 is tightened with the tightening bolts 7 on the body 1 to secure the upper and lower metals 4, 5. By compressing and assembling, the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are prevented from rotating together with the rotating shaft 6.
[0022]
The bearing structure of this embodiment is different from the conventional bearing structure in that when the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are compressed, at least one of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 is deformed in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 6. The present invention is characterized in that the abutting surfaces 4a and 5a are provided with inclined portions that are inclined in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 6 (the front-rear direction in the drawing).
[0023]
The butting surfaces 4a and 5a of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the butting surfaces 4a and 5a of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged side view showing a state where the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are butted against each other. It shows the state as seen from.
[0024]
As shown in the figure, the abutting surface 4a of the upper metal 4 is formed in the central portion in the axial direction, and has a trapezoidal convex portion 11 protruding downward, and the flat portions 12 formed on both axial side portions of the convex portion 11. And The convex portion 11 includes a top portion 13 extending substantially parallel to the axis CL of the rotating shaft 6, and an inclined portion 14 formed on both sides of the top portion 13 in the axial direction and inclined upward and axially outward.
[0025]
On the other hand, the abutting surface 5a of the lower metal 5 is formed at the central portion in the axial direction, the concave portion 15 having the same shape as the convex portion 11 of the upper metal 4, and the flat portion formed on both axial side portions of the concave portion 15. 16. The concave portion 15 includes a bottom portion (parallel portion) 17 extending substantially parallel to the axis CL of the rotating shaft 6 and an inclined portion 18 formed on both sides of the bottom portion 17 in the axial direction and inclined upward in the axial direction. Prepare.
[0026]
When the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 abut against each other at the butting surfaces 4 a and 5 a, the convex portions 11 of the upper metal 4 are fitted in the concave portions 15 of the lower metal 5 in a wedge shape, and the flat portions 12 and 16 are inclined. The part 14 and the inclined part 18 and the top part 13 and the bottom part 17 are in contact with each other. Before the cap 2 is tightened, that is, before the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are compressed, the flat portion 12 of the upper metal 4 and the flat portion 16 of the lower metal 5, and the top portion 13 of the upper metal 4 and the lower metal 5 A slight gap may be formed between the bottom portion 17 and the bottom.
[0027]
When assembling such a bearing structure, first, as shown in FIG. 8A, the lower metal 5 is mounted on the inner peripheral surface 1a of the body 1, and the upper metal is mounted on the inner peripheral surface 2a of the body 1. The cap 2 to which the metal 4 is attached is assembled with the rotating shaft 6 disposed between the upper metal 4 and the lower metal 5 and the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 butted against each other at the butting surfaces 4a and 5a. At this time, the butting surfaces 4a, 5a of one of the lower metal 5 and the upper metal 4 (left side in the figure) are positioned on the same plane as the upper surface 1b of the body 1, and the lower surface 2b of the cap 2 is positioned on that side (left side in the figure). And the upper surface 1b of the body 1 are brought into contact with each other. On the other side, an initial gap W occurs between the lower surface 2b of the cap 2 and the upper surface 1b of the body 1.
[0028]
Then, the cap 2 is tightened until the initial gap W disappears, and the upper and lower metals 4, 5 are press-fitted. At this time, as shown in FIG. Part of the compressive stress P is transmitted via the inclined portions 14 and 18 as a force f that pushes both axial end portions (flat portions) 16 of the lower metal 5 outward in the axial direction. The portion 16 deforms axially outward. In other words, the concave portion 15 is pushed open in the axial direction by the wedge effect of the convex portion 11 of the upper metal 4 and the concave portion 15 of the lower metal 5. Thereby, a part of the compressive stress is absorbed. Therefore, even if the cap 2 is fastened to the body 1 until the initial gap W disappears, the upper metal 4 does not deform in the radial direction, and the roundness of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 does not deteriorate. That is, when the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are compressed, the flat portions 12 and 16, the top 13 and the bottom 17 receive the pressure to allow the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 to be tightened, while the inclined portions 14 and 18 allow the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 to be tightened. By actively deforming at least one of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 6, the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are prevented from being deformed in the radial direction.
[0029]
As described above, in the bearing structure of the present embodiment, the roundness of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 can be prevented from deteriorating with a very simple structure. Further, since the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 can be press-fitted as before, the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 do not rotate together with the rotating shaft 6.
[0030]
The height of the projection 11 and the depth of the recess 15 and the inclination angles of the inclined portions 14 and 18 are appropriately set in consideration of the size of the initial gap W and the like.
[0031]
Here, when the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are compressed and the axial both ends 16 of the lower metal 5 are deformed, stress concentrates on the connecting portion 20 between the bottom (parallel portion) 17 of the concave portion 15 and the inclined portion 18. In order to prevent the occurrence of cracks, it is preferable that the connecting portion 20 has a rounded R shape.
[0032]
Up to now, it has been described that the convex portion 11 is provided on the upper metal 4 and the concave portion 15 is provided on the lower metal 5. On the contrary, the concave portion is formed on the upper metal 4 and the convex portion is formed on the lower metal 5. Of course, the same effect can be obtained.
[0033]
Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0034]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the entire butting surface 4a of the upper metal 4 is formed in a convex shape, and the entire butting surface 5a of the lower metal 5 is formed in a concave shape. The protrusions 21 of the upper metal 4 are formed on both sides in the axial direction, and include an inclined surface 22 inclined inward in the axial direction downward and an R portion 23 connecting the inclined surfaces 22. The concave portion 24 of the lower metal 5 includes an inclined surface 25 formed on both sides in the axial direction and inclined inward in the axial direction downward, and an R portion 26 connecting the inclined surfaces 25.
[0035]
In this embodiment, similarly to the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when a compressive stress P is generated in the upper and lower metals 4, 5, the concave portions 24 of the lower metal 5 are deformed so as to be opened outward in the axial direction, and the upper and lower metals 4, 5 are deformed. Is prevented from deforming in the radial direction. Also in this embodiment, the concave portion 24 may be provided on the upper metal 4 and the convex portion 21 may be provided on the lower metal 5.
[0036]
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, one inclined portion 30, 31 is formed at the axially intermediate portion of each of the butting surfaces 4a, 5a of the upper and lower metals 4, 5. Flat portions 32a, 32b and flat portions 33a, 33b are formed on both sides of the inclined portions 30, 31, respectively. In other words, a protruding portion 33 protruding downward is formed on one side (right side in the drawing) of the butting surface 4a of the upper metal 4, and protrudes upward on the other side (left side in the drawing) of the butting surface 5a of the lower metal 5. The formed convex portion 34 is formed. When the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are compressed, the protrusions 33 and 34 of each of the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 are pushed outward in the axial direction and deformed. Therefore, even in this embodiment, the upper and lower metals 4 and 5 can be prevented from being deformed in the radial direction.
[0037]
【The invention's effect】
In short, according to the present invention, a very simple structure is provided, which has an excellent effect that it is possible to prevent the bearing metal from being deformed in the radial direction at the time of assembly and the roundness from being deteriorated.
