Description

  The present invention relates to a sliding member streak forming method and a sliding member that can reduce the sliding resistance of the sliding surfaces of sliding members that slide relative to each other.

  In Patent Document 1, a blade member is run in a circumferential direction substantially orthogonal to a sliding direction on a cylindrical circumferential surface of a piston that is slidably fitted in a cylinder hole of an internal combustion engine, and has a groove width of 30 to 100 μm. Techniques for forming grooves are described.

JP 2000-88101 A

  In the piston described in Patent Document 1, the corner portion of the slidable contact surface adjacent to the groove formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the sliding direction rises into an irregular shape by grooving with a slicing blade and is sharp. Since it is formed in a shape, it is easy to cause warpage, and a long-term habituation operation is required to remove the swelled portion and sharp portion. Further, seizure is likely to occur when the lubricating oil adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder hole is scraped off by the raised portion or the sharp portion.

  Furthermore, even if precision cylinder processing is performed to remove the irregularly raised portion described above, this raised portion is pushed into the groove, and the groove opening is partially closed, and the piston surface is retained with lubricating oil. In addition, there is a problem in that the seizure cannot be prevented sufficiently because the lubricity between the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder hole and the piston surface is hindered by the lubricating oil retained in the groove.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sliding member and a method for processing the same that eliminate such problems.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a method of forming a streak on at least one sliding surface of sliding members that slide relative to each other, wherein a predetermined blade is formed on the sliding surface of the rotating sliding member. A first streak forming step of forming a groove having a predetermined depth over the entire length by moving the blade member in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction of the sliding surface in a state where the blade member having a width is in contact And, after the formation of the first streak, the first streak width of 1 with respect to the set position of the blade member in the first streak forming process at the tip of the protruding portion between the formed first streak / 2 The width of the blade member is shifted in the width direction, and a second streak forming step is performed to form a second streak that is a predetermined amount shallower than the streak depth at the time of forming the first streak. To do.

  The invention according to claim 2 includes a groove depth of the first stripe formed by the first stripe formation step and a groove depth of the second stripe formed by the second stripe formation step. The difference is set to be smaller than the maximum wear amount generated at the sliding side tip of the protruding portion formed between the grooves when the sliding member formed with only the first streak is slid. It is characterized by that.

  The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that a third step of further performing precision external cylindrical grinding is added to the outer periphery of the sliding member after the second streak forming step.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sliding member in which at least one sliding surface of sliding members that slide relative to each other has a large number of grooves directed in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction extending in the width direction. The tip of the projecting portion formed between the groove portions is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape, and a concave portion whose center is recessed is formed at the tip of the trapezoidal portion.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, at least one sliding surface of sliding members that slide relative to each other protrudes in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction, and a plurality of protruding portions are formed in the width direction. The protrusion is formed in a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, and the corners of the trapezoidal shape are formed in a round shape.

  The invention according to claim 6 is characterized in that the trapezoidal corner portion of the protruding portion is formed by precision external cylindrical grinding on the sliding surface of the sliding member on which the protruding portion is formed. It is.

In the first aspect of the present invention, the blade member used in the first streak forming step is used as it is, and the same sliding surface after the first streak forming step has 1 pitch of 1 pitch with respect to the set position of the blade member. The second streak forming step similar to the first streak forming step is performed by shifting the position of the blade member in the width direction by 2 and changing the setting to a depth shallower than the groove depth of the first streak. Thus, since the tip of the protruding portion formed between the grooves of the first streak can be cut by a predetermined amount, it usually has a shape close to the wear shape after the habituation operation for a certain period, and before the habituation operation It is possible to form a piston having the same diameter as that of the conventional piston.
As a result, the initial conformability is improved, and the habituation operation time for preventing seizure of the sliding member due to the remaining protrusion at the end of the protrusion and galling can be shortened.
In addition, friction and wear can be reduced.
In addition, since an increase in the clearance between the sliding members can be suppressed by reducing the wear amount, an increase in noise due to a collision between the cylinder and the piston can be prevented.

  In a second aspect of the invention, a predetermined amount of blade less than the amount of wear generated at the tip of the protrusion formed between the grooves of the striations when the sliding member that has undergone only the first striation formation step is slid. By performing cutting with the member on the tip of the protruding part, it is possible to promote the familiarity of both sliding members in a slight habituation operation period, and it is possible to properly maintain the clearance between both sliding members Become.

  In invention of Claim 3, the front-end | tip of the protrusion part between the groove | channels of the 1st streak formed by the 1st streak formation process is cut into a concave shape by the blade member in the 2nd streak formation process, By adding the third precision outer cylindrical grinding step, both ends of the recess can be formed round, and the sliding resistance can be reduced by rounding the both ends of the recess, and the lubricating oil in the recess The seizure can be reliably prevented by the retaining effect and the lubricating oil scooping effect due to the rounded end.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sliding member capable of reducing a sliding area and preventing seizure by forming a plurality of grooves on at least one of the sliding members. By forming a trapezoidal shape similar to the shape after wear from the start of sliding, the initial familiarity can be improved, and by forming a recess by recessing the central part of this trapezoidal part, The sliding area can be further reduced, and the frictional resistance can be lowered. And since this recessed part acts as a lubricating oil pool, since the lubricating oil retention performance of a sliding part can be improved, it becomes possible to further raise the seizure prevention effect of a sliding member.

  In the invention according to claim 5, by forming a plurality of groove portions oriented in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction on the sliding surface of at least one sliding member, the sliding area is reduced, and seizure occurs. By forming the tip of the protruding portion into a trapezoidal shape similar to the wear shape from the start of sliding, the initial familiarity can be improved. In addition, in the present invention, by forming both corners of the trapezoid shape round, the lubricating oil held between the other sliding member and the protruding portion protrudes from the front side in the sliding direction due to the round shape of the protruding portion. Because the squeeze effect that is drawn into the upper surface of the trapezoidal part of the part occurs, it becomes possible to sufficiently supply the lubricating oil between the sliding surface of the trapezoidal part and the sliding surface of the other sliding member, and seizing both Can be further prevented, and further reduction of sliding resistance can be promoted.

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily form the corners of the trapezoidal projecting portion evenly and roundly by performing precision outer cylindrical grinding, and the squeeze effect of the lubricating oil is uniform over the entire sliding surface. Therefore, it is possible to further enhance the effect of preventing seizure.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

  An object to which the present invention is applied is a cylinder hole (not shown) in a cylinder block (not shown) of an internal combustion engine (not shown) and a piston 1 that is slidably fitted in the cylinder hole, and in the vicinity of the top of the outer peripheral surface 1a of the piston 1. A plurality of piston ring grooves 2 are formed in advance (on the left side in FIG. 1), and the streak forming method of the present invention is applied to the outer peripheral surface 1 a of the piston 1. The streak forming method of the present invention may be applied to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder hole, or the streak of the present invention may be applied to both the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder hole and the outer peripheral surface 1a of the piston 1. A forming method may be applied.

  The piston 1 is driven to rotate in the direction of the arrow about the central axis of the piston 1 by a lathe work rotation driving device (not shown), and each time the piston 1 makes one rotation, the cutting tool 10 has one pitch along the central axis of the piston 1. A tool post (not shown) that supports the tool 10 is driven on a table (not shown) via a tool holder (not shown) so as to move toward the piston head by about 300.0 μm.

  Then, the tip 11 integrally attached to the tip of the cutting tool 10 moves along the generatrix direction of the peripheral surface of the outer peripheral surface 1a of the piston 1 at a pitch of 300.0 μm toward the head of the piston 1 so as to be adjacent. The cutting edge 11a of the tip 11 is formed in a substantially parabolic shape so that the depth 6 of the first streak 4 between the leading ends 5 of the streak protrusions is 10.0 μm.

  FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional shape of the skirt portion 3 of the outer peripheral surface 1a of the piston 1 subjected to the first streak forming process.

  Since the tip of the blade edge 11a of the tip 11 has a smooth protruding curved surface when the blade is new, the bottom 6a of the groove 6 of the first streak 4 has a smooth concave curved surface. As described above, the bottom 6a of the groove 6 of the first streak 4 is formed in a fine irregular shape when the edge 11a is locally worn or damaged by long-term processing. This is because is transferred.

  Using the lathe described above, the first streaking process is performed on the skirt portion 3 on the outer peripheral surface 1a of the piston 1 from the end of the skirt portion 3 toward the top of the piston 1, and only on the skirt portion 3 on the outer peripheral surface 1a. After forming the single mark 4, the tool holder is moved back to the original skirt 3 side and then shifted by ½ pitch, that is, 150.0 μm, and the cutting edge 11 a of the tip 11 is protruded from the first mark 4. Retracting the tip 5 slightly so as to make contact with the tip 5, and then moving the tip 11 from the skirt 3 of the piston 1 toward the head of the piston 1, and reducing the abutting amount of the tip 11 by a predetermined amount, A second streaking process is performed on the outer peripheral surface of the piston 1. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional shape of the skirt portion 3 of the piston outer peripheral surface 1a subjected to the second streak forming process. As described above, the second streak is more than the amount of wear of the protrusion tip 5 when the piston 1 obtained only in the first streak forming process is fitted into the piston hole and conditioned. By reducing the depth of removal of the protruding portion tip 8 of the second streak 7 obtained by the processing by a predetermined amount, the both end corners 9a of the recess 9 formed in the protruding portion tip 8 can be changed into the cylinder by a slight acclimation operation. The hole can be appropriately contacted, and the effect of improving the initial familiarity by the habituation operation can be obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the protrusion tip 5 of the first streak 4 has a sharp shape, so that it is easy to bend and when the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine is increased during the habituation operation, Scratches are likely to occur on the peripheral surface.

  However, in the present embodiment, the moving amount of the cutting tool 10 is 300.0 μm during one rotation of the piston 1, that is, the cutting tool 10 is shifted by 2 along the moving direction of the cutting tool 10 by one half pitch 150.0 μm. In order to perform the first streaking process, the protrusion front end 5 of the first first streak 4 is cut, so that the protrusion front end 8 becomes a substantially gentle recess 9 as shown in FIG. As a result of the formation, initial familiarity is imparted by shortening the habituation operation, and the possibility of occurrence of kinking is reduced, and scratches on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder bore are less likely to occur even at high speed rotation during the habituation operation.

  Moreover, when the protrusion part front-end | tip 8 is formed in the recessed part 9, while sliding area falls, it becomes possible to hold | maintain the lubricating oil in this recessed part 9, and while the seizure prevention effect of piston 1 and a cylinder improves. , Sliding resistance decreases.

  Furthermore, the groove depth of the first streak 4 formed by the first streak forming process is deep, and only the protrusion 5 of the first streak 4 is shallowly deleted by the second streak forming process. The recess depth of the second streak 7 is shallow, and the difference between the depth of the first streak 4 and the depth of the second streak 7 caused the piston 1 obtained by the first streak formation to slide. Since the amount of wear generated at the tip 5 of the protruding portion between the first streak 4 is smaller, the familiarity between the outer peripheral surface 2 of the piston 1 and the cylinder hole is completed in a slight acclimatization operation period. The clearance between the surface 2 and the cylinder hole is properly maintained.

  When the outer circumferential surface 2 of the piston 1 that has undergone the first streak forming step and the second streak forming step as described above is further subjected to precision external cylindrical grinding, as shown in the lower part of FIG. Both ends 9a of the concave portion 9 of the protruding portion tip 8 in the streak 7 are formed round.

  In this way, when both ends 9a of the protrusion tip recess 9 in the second streak 7 where the protrusion tip 8 is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape are formed round, the sliding resistance of the piston 1 further decreases, and the recess Since the lubricating oil is held in 9 and both ends 9a of the concave portion 9 are formed in a round shape, the lubricating oil adhering to the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder hole (not shown) moves along the inclined surfaces on both sides of the protrusion tip 8 due to the squeeze effect. Introduced between the cylinder hole and the recess 9 at the tip 8 of the protruding portion of the second streak 7 forms a lubricating oil pool on the piston surface. This lubricating oil lubricates the sliding surface and ensures more seizure. To be prevented.

  In the above embodiment, the sliding member in which the streak oriented in the circumferential direction is formed so as to slide in the generatrix direction of the cylindrical surface has been described. However, the generatrix of the cylindrical surface is slid in the circumferential direction of the cylinder surface. The present invention can also be applied to a rotating shaft of a crankshaft formed with streak oriented in the direction.

The numerical value in the said embodiment is an Example, Comprising: A pitch and a streak depth can be selected suitably.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the piston 1 which is a workpiece is a cylindrical body, a flat plate-shaped workpiece may be sufficient besides the piston 1. FIG.
In this case, the blade member having a predetermined blade width is moved in a direction substantially orthogonal to the sliding direction of the sliding surface to form a groove having a groove with a predetermined depth on the sliding surface. A blade member having a predetermined blade width is moved in parallel with the moving direction in a state where the position is shifted in the width direction by one pitch having a predetermined width with respect to the groove of the groove, and a groove having a predetermined depth is formed on the sliding surface in the same manner as described above. The first streak forming step is formed, and the first streak forming step is finished after the first streak forming step. The position of the blade member is shifted in the width direction by a 1/2 pitch with respect to the set position of the blade member in the first streak forming step at the tip of the protrusion formed on the trace surface, thereby forming the first streak Same as the second streak forming step for forming the second streak shallower than the groove depth of the streak over the entire length in the sliding direction By successively repeating, trapezoidal streaks are formed.
Further, a plurality of blades may be arranged and processed along the sliding direction.

It is the inclination figure which illustrated the condition of implementation of the stripe formation method of the present invention. It is an enlarged front view of FIG. It is a principal part expansion longitudinal cross-sectional view of the piston 1 which finished the 1st strip formation process. It is a principal part expansion longitudinal cross-sectional view of the piston 1 which finished the striation formation process of the 2nd time.
