It relates to the improved one.

  Generally, in the cam mechanism, in order to transmit the motion of the cam portion of the cam body to the driven member, a roller-shaped cam follower that is in sliding contact with the cam portion is attached to the driven member. The cam mechanism is incorporated in various mechanical devices, but is also employed in an indexing mechanism for an indexing table of a machine tool. The indexing table of a machine tool is used for machining while indexing by a predetermined angle with a workpiece attached to the indexing table.

  The indexing mechanism includes a turret that rotates coaxially and integrally with the indexing table, a plurality of cam followers mounted on the turret at equal circumferential intervals, and a roller cam provided on a rotating cam shaft that is orthogonal to the turret shaft and spaced apart from the center And a cam drive motor for rotating the rotary cam shaft. When performing machining while indexing by a predetermined angle, the indexing mechanism rotates the indexing table by a predetermined angle, so that the assembly accuracy of the cam follower greatly affects the indexing accuracy of the workpiece. Accordingly, various types of cam follower mounting structures have been disclosed. In general, when maintaining the cam follower, the cam follower is removed from the driven member and cleaned or filled with grease.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a cam follower including a stud, a needle bearing, an outer ring, two side plates, and a retaining ring.

  In the cam follower of Patent Document 1, since the fitting shaft portion has a small diameter, the stability and durability of the cam follower when the cam follower is assembled to the driven member is lowered. The fitting shaft part is a cylindrical shaft, and the fitting shaft part can be assembled in close contact with the fitting hole of the driven member. It is not easy to increase. However, in the structure in which the fitting shaft portion is loosely fitted into the fitting hole, the assembling accuracy is lowered, the strength is hardly increased, and stability and durability cannot be ensured.

  Also in the cam follower mounting structure of Patent Document 2, since the stud is cylindrical, and the stud is fixed with a fixing bolt, the rigidity of the cam follower in the direction perpendicular to the axial center when the cam follower is assembled to the driven member is insufficient. The backlash occurs during long-term use, causing a reduction in the accuracy of the cam follower. Moreover, since the fitting shaft portion has the same diameter as the main body shaft portion and a small diameter, it is difficult to increase the mounting strength, and it is difficult to ensure the stability and durability of the cam follower.

  The fitting strength is improved by fitting the fitting shaft portion into the fitting hole of the driven member. In this structure, when removing the cam follower during maintenance, it is easy to remove the fixing bolt, but there is no part that can hold the stud, so it is easy to separate the fitting shaft part of the stud from the fitting hole. is not.

4 and 5 of Patent Document 2 disclose an example in which the fitting shaft portion is formed in a taper shape to improve the assemblability, but the fitting shaft portion has a taper of about 1/3. It is formed with an inclination.
The tapered shaft portion (fitting shaft portion) of the stud as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 has a diameter as small as that of the main shaft portion. It takes a lot of time to machine the shaft.

  The purpose of the present invention is to improve the mounting accuracy, increase the mounting strength, ensure the stability and durability of the cam follower, simplify the structure, and make it easy to mount and remove the cam follower mounting structure. , Etc.

  The cam follower mounting structure according to claim 1 is a cam follower including a stud, a needle bearing, and an outer ring, wherein a part of a proximal end side of the stud is fitted and fixed in a fitting hole of a driven member of the cam mechanism. In the mounting structure, the driven member is formed with a taper fitting hole that opens on the surface and decreases in diameter toward the back side, and a female screw hole that continues to the back end of the taper fitting hole. The stud base portion is taper-fitted into the taper fitting hole and has a diameter larger than that of the main body shaft portion, and a base of the fitting shaft portion. A male screw shaft portion extending integrally from the end and screwed into the female screw hole is formed.

  When assembling the cam follower, if the male screw shaft is screwed into the female screw hole and the fitting shaft is fitted into the taper fitting hole, the fitting shaft is press-fitted into the taper fitting hole. The stud can be fitted, and the stud can be positioned in the tapered fitting hole with high accuracy. Since the fitting shaft portion is formed to have a larger diameter than the main body shaft portion, the rigidity of the stud in the direction orthogonal to the shaft center is increased, and the stability and durability of the cam follower is improved.

  The cam follower mounting structure according to a second aspect is the invention according to the first aspect, wherein the fitting shaft portion receives a base end side end portion of the needle bearing and a bearing receiving portion integral with the stud, and the bearing receiving portion. And a cylindrical shaft portion having a small diameter and a diameter larger than that of the male screw shaft portion, and a taper ring that is slidably fitted to the cylindrical shaft portion and is taper-fitted to the taper fitting hole. .

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the cam follower mounting structure according to the first or second aspect, wherein the taper of the taper fitting hole is formed to have an inclination capable of self-locking.

  The cam follower mounting structure according to claim 4 is a cam follower including a stud, a needle bearing, and an outer ring, wherein a part of a proximal end side of the stud is fitted and fixed in a fitting hole of a driven member of the cam mechanism. In the mounting structure, the driven member is formed with a cylindrical fitting hole opened on the surface thereof, and a female screw hole connected to the inner end of the cylindrical fitting hole, and the stud is a body shaft for supporting the outer ring.

  When assembling the cam follower, with the internal taper ring fitted onto the taper shaft part of the stud, the male screw shaft part is screwed into the female screw hole, and the internal taper ring is fitted into the cylindrical fitting hole. As a result, the taper shaft portion can be press-fitted firmly into the inner surface tapering, and the stud can be positioned with high accuracy on the axis of the cylindrical fitting hole via the inner surface tapering. Since the inner surface taper ring is formed to have a diameter larger than that of the main body shaft portion, the rigidity of the stud in the direction perpendicular to the axis is increased, so that the stability and durability of the cam follower is improved.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the cam follower mounting structure according to the fourth aspect, wherein the taper of the tapered shaft portion is formed to have an inclination capable of self-locking.

The positioning accuracy of the cam follower to the driven member can be improved by positioning the stud in the taper fitting hole with high accuracy. When assembling the cam follower, it is easy to fit the fitting shaft portion into the tapered fitting hole, so that the assembling property is improved.

  Since the fitting shaft part is formed to have a larger diameter than the main body shaft part, the rigidity of the stud in the direction orthogonal to the axis is increased, and stability and durability are improved. Since the stud and the male screw part are integrally formed on the stud, the cam follower is easy to assemble, and when the stud is removed, the male screw part is released to release the fitting. Since the axial portion can be forcibly detached from the tapered fitting hole, maintenance can be easily performed.

  According to the invention of claim 2, the fitting shaft portion receives the proximal end side end portion of the needle bearing and has a bearing receiving portion integral with the stud, and has a smaller diameter than the bearing receiving portion and a male screw shaft portion. Since it has a large-diameter cylindrical shaft portion and a taper ring that is slidably fitted to the cylindrical shaft portion and is taper-fitted to the taper fitting hole, basically the same effect as in the first aspect can be obtained. . In particular, the proximal end of the needle bearing can be received by the bearing receiving portion integrated with the stud.

  According to the invention of claim 3, since the taper inclination of the taper fitting hole is formed to be about 1/10 capable of self-locking, the cam follower is fixed to the driven member in a state where the cam follower is assembled. The fixing force can be strengthened, and the male screw shaft can prevent loosening.

According to the invention of claim 4, as in the case of claim 1, the cam follower is firmly attached to the driven member by press-fitting and firmly fitting the tapered shaft portion to the inner surface tapered ring fitted in the cylindrical fitting hole. Can be assembled to. By positioning the stud in the cylindrical fitting hole with high accuracy, the cam follower can be positioned with high accuracy on the driven member.
Since the inner surface tapered ring is formed to have a larger diameter than the main body shaft portion, the rigidity of the stud in the direction perpendicular to the axial center can be increased, and the stability and durability of the cam follower can be improved. Further, similarly to the first aspect, the cam follower can be easily attached to and detached from the driven member.

  According to the invention of claim 5, since the taper of the taper shaft portion is formed to have an inclination capable of self-locking, the fixing force for fixing the cam follower to the driven member can be strengthened, and the male screw shaft portion Looseness can be prevented.

A plurality of roller-type cam followers 4 mounted on the outer peripheral portion of the turret 3 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, a roller cam 6 provided on a rotating cam shaft 5 orthogonal to the turret shaft and spaced apart from the center, and the rotating cam shaft 5 Is provided with a cam drive motor 7 comprising a servo motor or a stepping motor for rotating the motor. The cam mechanism includes a turret 3 (which corresponds to a driven member), a plurality of cam followers 4 and a roller cam 6.

  This indexing table device T is engaged with the roller cam 6 of the plurality of cam followers 4 when the rotating cam shaft 5 and the roller cam 6 are rotated by a predetermined angle by the cam drive motor 7 with the workpiece attached to the indexing table 1. The cam follower 4 is driven in the circumferential direction of the turret 3, and the turret 3 and the indexing table 1 are integrally rotated by a set angle corresponding to the predetermined angle.

Next, the attachment structure of the roller type cam follower 4 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4, the cam follower 4 includes a stud 11, a needle bearing 12, an outer ring 13, a side plate 14, and a retaining ring 15. The turret 3 has a taper fitting hole 16 that opens on the surface (circumferential surface) and decreases in diameter toward the back side, and a female screw hole 17 (from the taper fitting hole 16 connected to the back end of the taper fitting hole 16). Also has a small diameter).

  The stud 11 has a main body shaft portion 11 a that supports the outer ring 13. A fitting shaft portion 19 that is press-fitted into the taper fitting hole 16 of the turret 3 is fitted to the base portion of the stud 11, and the fitting shaft. A male screw shaft portion 20 that extends integrally from the base end of the portion 19 and is screwed into the female screw hole 17 is formed. The fitting shaft portion 19 is formed to have a larger diameter than the main body shaft portion 11a, and the fitting shaft portion 19 is formed in a tapered shape so as to have a smaller diameter toward the proximal end side. 12 is formed to have a larger diameter than the outer periphery of the needle 12, and is configured to receive the proximal end 12 a of the needle bearing 12. A hexagon hole 22 for engaging a hexagon wrench is formed at the outer end of the stud 11.

  The outer ring 13 is rotatably supported via the needle bearing 12 on the outer periphery of the main body shaft portion 11a. The side plate 14 is fitted on the side plate insertion portion 23 to receive the outer end portion of the needle bearing 12. A retaining ring 15 is engaged with a locking groove 24 formed in the circumferential direction on the outer end side of the stud 11, and the side plate 14 is prevented from coming off by the retaining ring 15.

  The taper fitting hole 16 is formed in a taper having an inclination of about 1/10 or less that can be self-locked by a frictional force, and is formed deeper than the axial length of the fitting shaft portion 19. In a state where the fitting shaft portion 19 is fitted in the taper fitting hole 16, there is a gap in the bottom portion 26 of the taper fitting hole 16.

The frictional contact area is also increased, and the fixing force for fixing the stud 11 to the turret 3 can be remarkably enhanced. Since the main body shaft portion 11a, the fitting shaft portion 19 and the male screw shaft portion 20 are integrally formed on the stud 11, the cam follower 4 can be easily assembled, and when the cam follower 4 is maintained, By loosening the stud 11 with a hexagon wrench, the fitting shaft portion 19 can be easily removed from the taper fitting hole 16.

  Since the proximal end 12a of the needle bearing 12 is received by the fitting shaft portion 19, the annular member for receiving the needle bearing 12 can be omitted, and the number of parts can be reduced. Moreover, since the fitting shaft part 19 is formed thicker than the main body shaft part 11a, the efficiency at the time of machining the fitting shaft part 19 of the stud 11 can be improved. Furthermore, since the tapered fitting shaft portion 19 has a large diameter, the fitting shaft portion 19 of the stud 11 can be easily machined and can be efficiently machined.
