Description

この発明は、カーエアコン電磁クラッチ部の軸受など、ベルト駆動で用いられる外輪回転軸受に回転センサ機能を付加したセンサ付軸受、およびこれを用いたプーリ,電磁クラッチに関する。   The present invention relates to a bearing with a sensor in which a rotation sensor function is added to an outer ring rotary bearing used in belt driving, such as a bearing of a car air conditioner electromagnetic clutch section, and a pulley and an electromagnetic clutch using the same.

一般に、カーエアコン用電磁クラッチまたは周辺機器には、エンジン状況,走行状態,コンプレッサ本体の状態に応じて、電磁クラッチのオン/オフを制御するために、ロックセンサが取付けられている。このセンサの出力信号を制御ユニットに取り込むことで、補機ベルトまたは駆動ベルトの滑りを検出する。上記ロックセンサには、例えばコンプレッサのケーシング端部等に設けられて駆動軸の回転を検出する回転センサ等が用いられる。 この種の電磁クラッチでは、ベルト掛けされる回転部材を転がり軸受の外輪に固定したプーリが用いられ、回転自在な従動部材をコイルの電磁力で上記回転部材に吸着させるものとされる(例えば、特許文献1)。回転部材を支持する転がり軸受には、複列アンギュラ玉軸受や、単列の多点接触玉軸受が用いられている。

In general, a lock sensor is attached to an electromagnetic clutch for car air conditioner or a peripheral device in order to control on / off of the electromagnetic clutch in accordance with an engine state, a running state, and a compressor body state. By taking the output signal of this sensor into the control unit, slippage of the accessory belt or the drive belt is detected. As the lock sensor, for example, a rotation sensor or the like provided at the casing end of the compressor or the like for detecting the rotation of the drive shaft is used. In this type of electromagnetic clutch, a pulley in which a rotating member to be hung on a belt is fixed to an outer ring of a rolling bearing is used, and a rotatable driven member is attracted to the rotating member by an electromagnetic force of a coil (for example, Patent Document 1). As the rolling bearing that supports the rotating member, a double-row angular ball bearing or a single-row multi-point contact ball bearing is used.
Further, a rolling bearing with a built-in rotation sensor has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2).

通常、プーリや電磁クラッチに組み込まれる単列または複列の玉軸受は、列間中央(単列軸受の場合は転動体中心)にタイミングベルトの中心が来るように組み込まれる。しかし、最近になって、電磁クラッチのコイル容量を確保するために組込み空間を低減する見地から、またはエンジンおよび補機群を配置する上での問題から、補機ベルトまたは駆動ベルトの中央を、プーリ中心からを意図的に偏らせたオフセットプーリの需要が高まってきている。
ところが、図7のようにオフセットプーリ60に、従来から用いられている通常の軸受61を組み込んだ場合、タイミングベルト62の幅方向中央C2と軸受61の列間中央Coがずれた状態で配置されることになるため、複列軸受では片側転走面への荷重負荷が大きくなる。また単列軸受では接触楕円から離れた位置での荷重負荷が大きくなる。その結果、軸受61の寿命低下と、接触楕円が転走面から外れることによる軸受破損の発生率が増加するという問題点を有する。
Normally, single row or double row ball bearings incorporated in pulleys or electromagnetic clutches are incorporated so that the center of the timing belt is at the center between the rows (in the case of a single row bearing, the center of the rolling element). However, recently, from the viewpoint of reducing the installation space in order to ensure the coil capacity of the electromagnetic clutch, or from the problem of arranging the engine and auxiliary machinery group, the center of the auxiliary belt or the driving belt, There is an increasing demand for offset pulleys that are intentionally offset from the center of the pulley.
However, as shown in FIG. 7, when a conventional bearing 61 used in the past is incorporated in the offset pulley 60, the center C2 in the width direction of the timing belt 62 and the center Co between the rows of the bearings 61 are arranged in a shifted state. For this reason, in the double row bearing, the load applied to the one-side rolling surface is increased. In single row bearings, the load applied at a position away from the contact ellipse is increased. As a result, there are problems in that the life of the bearing 61 is reduced and the occurrence rate of bearing damage due to the contact ellipse being detached from the rolling surface is increased.

この発明の目的は、オフセット型プーリの支持等のように荷重偏り状態で使用される場合に、転走面における荷重の偏りを低減または無くすことができて、軸受寿命の向上が図れ、かつ回転検出用のセンサ装置をコンパクトに収容することができるセンサ付軸受およびこれを用いたプーリ,電磁クラッチを提供することである。   The object of the present invention is to reduce or eliminate the load unevenness on the rolling surface when used in a load-biased state such as support of an offset type pulley, etc., to improve the bearing life and to rotate A bearing with a sensor capable of accommodating a sensor device for detection in a compact manner, and a pulley and an electromagnetic clutch using the same.

この発明における第1の発明のセンサ付軸受は、複列アンギュラ玉軸受であって、両列の転走面間の中央位置を、内外輪の軸方向幅の中心位置に対して軸方向に偏らせ、反偏り側における内外輪間の転走面よりも端部側に、センサの構成部品を内蔵可能なセンサ配置空間を設け、このセンサ配置空間内に内外輪間の相対回転を検出するセンサ装置を内蔵したものである。
この構成によると、両列の転走面間の中央位置を、内外輪の軸方向幅の中心位置に対して軸方向に偏らせたため、例えば、ベルト中央をプーリ中心から偏らせたプーリであるオフセット型のプーリの軸受としてこのセンサ付軸受を組み込んだ場合に、その偏り量の相殺によって、ベルト中央と軸受中央とのずれ量を低減または無くすことができる。そのため、荷重負荷が片方の列に偏ることが軽減され、軸受の延命効果を得ることができる。オフセット型プーリに限らず、軸受の軸方向位置によって荷重が偏る使用形態であれば、上記と同様に荷重負荷が片方の列に偏ることが軽減され、軸受の延命効果を得ることができる。また、転走面の反偏り側における内外輪間の転走面よりも端部側にセンサ配置空間を設け、センサ装置を内蔵したため、軸受幅を効率的に利用してセンサ装置をコンパクトに内蔵することができる。
The sensor-equipped bearing according to the first aspect of the present invention is a double-row angular contact ball bearing, wherein the center position between the rolling surfaces of both rows is axially biased with respect to the center position of the axial width of the inner and outer rings. A sensor arrangement space capable of incorporating sensor components on the end side of the rolling surface between the inner and outer rings on the opposite side, and a sensor for detecting relative rotation between the inner and outer rings in the sensor arrangement space It has a built-in device.
According to this configuration, since the center position between the rolling surfaces of both rows is offset in the axial direction with respect to the center position of the axial width of the inner and outer rings, for example, a pulley in which the belt center is offset from the pulley center. When this sensor-equipped bearing is incorporated as an offset type pulley bearing, the amount of deviation between the center of the belt and the center of the bearing can be reduced or eliminated by offsetting the deviation. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the load load from being biased to one of the rows, and to obtain a life extension effect of the bearing. If the load is not limited to the offset type pulley but the load is biased depending on the axial position of the bearing, the load load is less biased to one row as described above, and the life extension effect of the bearing can be obtained. In addition, a sensor arrangement space is provided on the end side of the rolling surface between the inner and outer rings on the opposite side of the rolling surface, and the sensor device is built in. Therefore, the sensor device is built in compactly by efficiently using the bearing width. can do.

この発明における第2の発明のセンサ付軸受は、多点接触玉軸受であって、転動体の中心位置を、内外輪の軸方向幅の中心位置に対して軸方向に偏らせ、反偏り側における内外輪間の転走面よりも端部側に、センサの構成部品を内蔵可能なセンサ配置空間を設け、このセンサ配置空間内に内外輪間の相対回転を検出するセンサ装置を内蔵したことを特徴とする。
この構成によると、多点接触玉軸受であって、転動体の中心位置を、内外輪の軸方向幅の中心位置に対して軸方向に偏らせたため、例えばベルト中央をプーリ中心から偏らせたプーリであるオフセット型のプーリの軸受としてこのセンサ付軸受を組み込んだ場合に、その偏り量の相殺によって、ベルト中央と転動体中央とのずれ量を低減または無くすことができる。そのため、荷重負荷の偏りが軽減されて、転走面に生じる応力楕円である接触楕円が溝状の転走溝の肩部から外れることによる軸受の無理な負荷が軽減され、軸受の延命効果を得ることができる。オフセット型プーリに限らず、軸受の軸方向位置によって荷重が偏る使用形態であれば、上記と同様に荷重負荷が転走面上で極度に偏ることが軽減され、軸受の延命効果を得ることができる。また、転走面の反偏り側における内外輪間の転走面よりも端部側にセンサ配置空間を設け、センサ装置を内蔵したため、軸受幅を効率的に利用してセンサ装置をコンパクトに内蔵することができる。すなわち、単一の筐体に回転数の検出機能と軸受機能を併せ持たせることができるため、軸受使用機器の小型化,軽量化,簡素化,および組立容易化が図れる。
The sensor-equipped bearing according to the second aspect of the present invention is a multi-point contact ball bearing, wherein the center position of the rolling element is axially biased with respect to the center position of the axial width of the inner and outer rings, The sensor arrangement space that can contain the sensor components is provided on the end side of the rolling surface between the inner and outer rings in the sensor, and the sensor device that detects the relative rotation between the inner and outer rings is built in this sensor arrangement space. It is characterized by.
According to this configuration, in the multi-point contact ball bearing, since the center position of the rolling element is biased in the axial direction with respect to the center position of the axial width of the inner and outer rings, for example, the belt center is biased from the pulley center. When this sensor-equipped bearing is incorporated as a bearing of an offset type pulley that is a pulley, the amount of deviation between the center of the belt and the center of the rolling element can be reduced or eliminated by offsetting the amount of deviation. For this reason, the uneven load is reduced, the excessive load on the bearing due to the contact ellipse, which is the stress ellipse generated on the rolling surface, coming off the shoulder of the grooved rolling groove is reduced, and the life extension effect of the bearing is reduced. Obtainable. Not only the offset type pulley but also a usage pattern in which the load is biased depending on the axial position of the bearing, it is possible to reduce the load load from being extremely biased on the rolling surface in the same manner as described above, and to obtain the life extension effect of the bearing. it can. In addition, a sensor arrangement space is provided on the end side of the rolling surface between the inner and outer rings on the opposite side of the rolling surface, and the sensor device is built in. Therefore, the sensor device is built in compactly by efficiently using the bearing width. can do. That is, since it is possible to provide both a rotation speed detection function and a bearing function in a single housing, it is possible to reduce the size, weight, simplification, and ease of assembly of a bearing-using device.

目印が設けられていると、このセンサ付軸受をオフセット型プーリの軸受として組み込むときに、プーリの軸受偏り設置側にセンサ装置が向くようにセンサ付軸受を容易に組み込むことができる。

If the mark is provided, when the sensor-equipped bearing is incorporated as an offset pulley bearing, the sensor-equipped bearing can be easily incorporated so that the sensor device faces the side where the pulley is biased.

It is attached to the outer ring 3 by being fitted to 19. Lip portions 15 a and 18 a whose tips contact the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 2 are formed at the inner diameter side ends of the elastic members 15 and 18 in the bearing seals 8 and 9.

外部シール10は、リング状の平板の芯金20と、この芯金20に固着された弾性部材21とで構成され、その内径端側を内輪2の内径面に形成されたシール取付用段部22に嵌合することで、内輪2に取付けられる。段部22に代えて溝を設け、嵌合させてもよい。外部シール10における弾性部材21の外径側端には、その先端が外輪3の内径面に接触するリップ部21aが形成されている。   The outer seal 10 is composed of a ring-shaped flat cored bar 20 and an elastic member 21 fixed to the cored bar 20, and the inner diameter end of the outer seal 10 is formed on the inner diameter surface of the inner ring 2. By being fitted to 22, the inner ring 2 is attached. Instead of the step portion 22, a groove may be provided and fitted. A lip portion 21 a whose tip is in contact with the inner diameter surface of the outer ring 3 is formed at the outer diameter side end of the elastic member 21 in the outer seal 10.

センサ装置11は、外輪3と一体に回転するエンコーダ12と、固定側輪である内輪2に取付けられてエンコーダ12を検出するセンサ13とで構成される。エンコーダ12は、軸受シール9に取付けられた永久磁石からなる。   The sensor device 11 includes an encoder 12 that rotates integrally with the outer ring 3, and a sensor 13 that is attached to the inner ring 2 that is a fixed side wheel and detects the encoder 12. The encoder 12 is made of a permanent magnet attached to the bearing seal 9.

センサ13は、上記外部シール10を介して内輪2に取付けられている。具体的には、センサ13は、例えばホール素子などからなる磁気センサチップ23を回路基板24の上に配置して構成され、前記外部シール10の内面に設けることにより、外部シール10と一体化されている。センサ13の前記回路基板24に接続された信号コード25は、外部シール10の芯金20に形成されたコード挿通孔26から軸受外に引き出され、この後にコード挿通孔26が樹脂などのモールド材27で封止される。このように、固定側輪である内輪2に取付けられた外部シール10の芯金20のコード挿通孔26に信号コード25を通すことにより、外輪3の回転で信号コード25が切断されることなく、信号コード25を容易に軸受外に引き出すことができる。この信号コード25を経て、センサ13の検出信号が軸受外に出力される。   The sensor 13 is attached to the inner ring 2 via the outer seal 10. Specifically, the sensor 13 is configured by disposing a magnetic sensor chip 23 made of, for example, a Hall element on a circuit board 24 and is provided on the inner surface of the external seal 10 so as to be integrated with the external seal 10. ing. The signal cord 25 connected to the circuit board 24 of the sensor 13 is drawn out of the bearing from a cord insertion hole 26 formed in the cored bar 20 of the outer seal 10, and then the cord insertion hole 26 is formed of a molding material such as resin. 27 is sealed. Thus, the signal cord 25 is not cut by the rotation of the outer ring 3 by passing the signal cord 25 through the cord insertion hole 26 of the cored bar 20 of the outer seal 10 attached to the inner ring 2 which is a fixed side wheel. The signal cord 25 can be easily pulled out of the bearing. Through this signal code 25, the detection signal of the sensor 13 is output outside the bearing.

センサ装置11は、この実施形態では1回転で1パルスの原点信号を出力するものとされる。エンコーダ12は、軸受シール9の円周方向の1箇所に設けられた磁極部により構成されている。エンコーダ12のセンサ13側に向いた面は、S極1極、またはN,S,Nの順番で最大3極までの着磁とする。センサ13の特性がこれとは反対の場合、それぞれの極性は逆にする必要がある。S極がセンサ13に近づいた時点でセンサ13から出力されるパルスは、正または負側について、1回転で1パルスの原点信号となる。
なお、エンコーダ12は、円周方向に多極に磁化された多極磁石であっても良い。その場合に、前記多極磁石は磁性粉と非金属磁性粉とを混合させた焼結磁石であっても良く、またゴム磁石やプラスチック磁石であっても良い。
In this embodiment, the sensor device 11 outputs an origin signal of one pulse per rotation. The encoder 12 is configured by a magnetic pole portion provided at one place in the circumferential direction of the bearing seal 9. The surface of the encoder 12 facing the sensor 13 is magnetized with one S pole or up to three poles in the order of N, S, N. When the characteristics of the sensor 13 are opposite to each other, the respective polarities need to be reversed. The pulse output from the sensor 13 when the S pole approaches the sensor 13 becomes one pulse origin signal for one rotation on the positive or negative side.
The encoder 12 may be a multipolar magnet that is magnetized in multiple directions in the circumferential direction. In this case, the multipolar magnet may be a sintered magnet obtained by mixing magnetic powder and nonmetallic magnetic powder, or may be a rubber magnet or a plastic magnet.

図2は、電磁クラッチに組み込まれるプーリの一実施形態の断面図を示す。このプーリ30は、リング状の回転部材31の内径孔32内に、上記したセンサ付軸受1を圧入固定したものである。このプーリ30は、回転部材31の外周に駆動用のベルト35を掛装するベルト溝33が設けられ、ベルト溝33は歯付きとされている。回転部材31の一側面には、電磁クラッチのコイル(図示せず)が遊嵌する円周溝34が設けられている。   FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of a pulley incorporated in an electromagnetic clutch. The pulley 30 is obtained by press-fitting and fixing the above-described bearing 1 with a sensor in an inner diameter hole 32 of a ring-shaped rotating member 31. The pulley 30 is provided with a belt groove 33 on which the driving belt 35 is hung on the outer periphery of the rotating member 31, and the belt groove 33 is toothed. A circumferential groove 34 in which a coil (not shown) of an electromagnetic clutch is loosely fitted is provided on one side surface of the rotating member 31.

このプーリ30は、前記ベルト溝33の幅方向中央C1に対して、前記センサ付軸受1の幅方向中央を軸方向に意図的に偏らせたオフセット型のプーリであって、センサ付軸受1は内蔵されたセンサ装置11が回転部材31の軸受偏り設置側に向くように回転部材31に固定される。具体的には、回転部材31における内径孔32の内径面は、前記円周溝34が開口する側面側が大径面となる段差面とされていて、その大径面部32aにセンサ付軸受1の外輪3が圧入嵌合される。前記大径面部32aの端部側には係合周溝32bが設けられ、この係合周溝32bに係合する間座36を内外輪2,3の幅面に押し当てることで、センサ付軸受1が軸方向に位置決めされている。センサ装置11の信号コード25は、前記間座36を貫通した孔36aを通して回転部材31の外側に引き出されている。   The pulley 30 is an offset type pulley in which the center in the width direction of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 is intentionally biased in the axial direction with respect to the center C1 in the width direction of the belt groove 33. The built-in sensor device 11 is fixed to the rotating member 31 so as to face the bearing bias installation side of the rotating member 31. Specifically, the inner diameter surface of the inner diameter hole 32 in the rotating member 31 is a stepped surface in which the side surface side where the circumferential groove 34 opens is a large diameter surface, and the large diameter surface portion 32 a of the sensor-equipped bearing 1. The outer ring 3 is press fitted. An engagement circumferential groove 32b is provided on the end side of the large-diameter surface portion 32a, and a spacer 36 that engages with the engagement circumferential groove 32b is pressed against the width surface of the inner and outer rings 2 and 3, thereby providing a bearing with sensor. 1 is positioned in the axial direction. The signal cord 25 of the sensor device 11 is drawn to the outside of the rotating member 31 through a hole 36 a penetrating the spacer 36.

前記回転部材31へのセンサ付軸受1の圧入固定において、センサ付軸受1における両列の転走面5,6間の中央位置Cの偏り側は、信号コード25の引出し側とは反対側として判別することができるが、この他、例えば偏り側の軸受シール8と反偏り側の軸受シール9の色相を変更したり、片方の軸受シール、または内外輪2,3のいずれか等に、図1に示すような刻印などの目印50を付けて判別するようにしても良い。   In the press-fitting and fixing of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 to the rotating member 31, the biased side of the center position C between the rolling surfaces 5 and 6 of the two rows in the sensor-equipped bearing 1 is the opposite side of the signal code 25 drawing side. In addition to this, for example, the hue of the bearing seal 8 on the bias side and the bearing seal 9 on the anti-bias side can be changed, or one of the bearing seals or the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 For example, a mark 50 such as a mark as shown in FIG.

このように、上記センサ付軸受1をオフセット型プーリ30の軸受として組み込んだ場合、センサ付軸受1の両列の転走面5,6間の中央位置Cが、センサ付軸受1の幅方向中央からセンサ装置11の設置側とは反対側に偏らせてあるので、軸受の幅方向中央に両列の転走面間の中央位置を一致させている通常の複列転がり軸受を組み込んだ場合に比べ、ベルト溝33の幅方向中央C1に対するセンサ付軸受1の両列の転走面5,6間の中央位置Cのオフセット量を相殺により低減または無くすことができる。この例では低減している。その結果、センサ付軸受1の延命効果が得られる。   As described above, when the sensor-equipped bearing 1 is incorporated as a bearing of the offset pulley 30, the center position C between the rolling surfaces 5 and 6 of both rows of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 is the center in the width direction of the sensor-equipped bearing 1. Since it is biased to the opposite side to the installation side of the sensor device 11, when a normal double row rolling bearing in which the center position between the rolling surfaces of both rows is made to coincide with the center in the width direction of the bearing is incorporated. In comparison, the offset amount of the center position C between the rolling surfaces 5 and 6 of both rows of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 with respect to the center C1 in the width direction of the belt groove 33 can be reduced or eliminated by cancellation. In this example, it is reduced. As a result, the life extension effect of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 can be obtained.

また、上記センサ付軸受1は、単一の筐体に回転数の検出機能と軸受機能を併せ持つため、このセンサ付軸受1を装備した車両用空調装置やそのコンプレッサの小型化,簡素化が図れる。すなわち、軸受とは独立した専用部品のセンサ装置を設ける場合と異なり、センサ装置11の専用の設置空間や、取付部品、ケーシング部分等を省略でき、またセンサ取付工程を省略できる。   Further, since the sensor-equipped bearing 1 has both a rotation speed detection function and a bearing function in a single housing, the vehicle air conditioner equipped with the sensor-equipped bearing 1 and its compressor can be reduced in size and simplified. . That is, unlike the case of providing a sensor device with a dedicated component independent of the bearing, the dedicated installation space, the mounting component, the casing portion, etc. of the sensor device 11 can be omitted, and the sensor mounting process can be omitted.

図3は、図2のオフセット型プーリ30を、車両用空調装置におけるコンプレッサ42の駆動系における電磁クラッチ43のプーリに用いた例を示す。コンプレッサ42のハウジング45に設けられた筒部45aの外周に、プーリ30の回転部材31がセンサ付軸受1を介して回転自在に支持されている。
電磁クラッチ43は、上記プーリ30と、通電により電磁力を発生するコイル49と、回転自在な従動部材50とを備え、コイル49で発生した電磁力でプーリ30の回転部材31と従動部材50とを吸着させて回転部材31の回転を従動部材50に伝えるものである。コイル49は、ハウジング45に固定されており、プーリ30の回転部材31の円周溝34内に遊嵌している。回転部材31は磁性体であることが好ましい。前記従動部材50は、リング状のクラッチ板52を板ばね等のばね部材53によってコンプレッサ駆動軸54に取付けたものであり、クラッチ板52は磁性体とされている。コンプレッサ駆動軸54は、ハウジング45の上記筒部45a内に挿通されて軸受(図示せず)により回転自在に支持されている。
FIG. 3 shows an example in which the offset pulley 30 of FIG. 2 is used as a pulley of an electromagnetic clutch 43 in a drive system of a compressor 42 in a vehicle air conditioner. A rotating member 31 of the pulley 30 is rotatably supported on the outer periphery of a cylindrical portion 45 a provided in the housing 45 of the compressor 42 via the bearing 1 with sensor.
The electromagnetic clutch 43 includes the pulley 30, a coil 49 that generates an electromagnetic force when energized, and a rotatable driven member 50, and the rotating member 31 and the driven member 50 of the pulley 30 are driven by the electromagnetic force generated by the coil 49. , And the rotation of the rotating member 31 is transmitted to the driven member 50. The coil 49 is fixed to the housing 45 and is loosely fitted in the circumferential groove 34 of the rotating member 31 of the pulley 30. The rotating member 31 is preferably a magnetic material. The driven member 50 is a member in which a ring-shaped clutch plate 52 is attached to a compressor drive shaft 54 by a spring member 53 such as a plate spring, and the clutch plate 52 is made of a magnetic material. The compressor drive shaft 54 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 45a of the housing 45 and is rotatably supported by a bearing (not shown).

コイル49を励磁すると、ばね部材53が電磁力で撓んでクラッチ板52が回転部材31に吸着され、従動部材50が回転部材31と一体に回転する。励磁を解除すると、ばね部材53の復元力でクラッチ板52が離れる。   When the coil 49 is excited, the spring member 53 is bent by electromagnetic force, the clutch plate 52 is attracted to the rotating member 31, and the driven member 50 rotates integrally with the rotating member 31. When the excitation is released, the clutch plate 52 is separated by the restoring force of the spring member 53.

センサ付軸受1におけるセンサ装置11の回転検出信号は、例えば図3のように制御ユニット55に入力される。制御ユニット55は、例えばエンジンの回転数から得られる基準回転数信号aとセンサ装置11の出力との偏差をとり、その偏差からベルト35の滑りの有無等を検出する。また、制御ユニット55は、上記偏差によって電磁クラッチ43のロック判定を行い、コイル49の励磁制御を行うものとされる。   The rotation detection signal of the sensor device 11 in the sensor-equipped bearing 1 is input to the control unit 55 as shown in FIG. For example, the control unit 55 takes a deviation between the reference rotation speed signal a obtained from the rotation speed of the engine and the output of the sensor device 11, and detects the presence or absence of slipping of the belt 35 from the deviation. Further, the control unit 55 performs lock determination of the electromagnetic clutch 43 based on the deviation and performs excitation control of the coil 49.

この電磁クラッチ43によると、センサ付軸受1が回転する度に、1パルス/1回転の原点信号が出力される。この出力信号を制御ユニット55に取り込むことで、センサ付軸受1の回転状態などを把握することができる。また、この出力信号と基準回転数との偏差を読み取ることで、ベルト35の滑りの有無を検出することができる。これにより、ベルト切れによる重大なトラブルを未然に回避する制御等に利用できる。   According to this electromagnetic clutch 43, every time the sensor-equipped bearing 1 rotates, an origin signal of 1 pulse / 1 rotation is output. By taking this output signal into the control unit 55, the rotational state of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 can be grasped. Further, the presence or absence of slippage of the belt 35 can be detected by reading the deviation between the output signal and the reference rotational speed. Thereby, it can utilize for the control etc. which avoid the serious trouble by belt run out beforehand.

図4は、この発明の他の実施形態を示す。この実施形態の軸受1Aは、図1の実施形態のセンサ付軸受1において、センサ装置11を未内蔵としたセンサ内蔵空間付軸受である。その他の構成は図1の実施形態のセンサ付軸受1と同じである。   FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention. A bearing 1A of this embodiment is a sensor-equipped space bearing in which the sensor device 11 is not built in the sensor-equipped bearing 1 of the embodiment of FIG. Other configurations are the same as the sensor-equipped bearing 1 of the embodiment of FIG.

このセンサ内蔵空間付軸受1Aには回転検出機能は無いが、両列の転走面5,6間の中央位置Cが、軸受1Aの幅方向中央からセンサ配置空間S側とは反対側に偏らせてあるので、図2のようなオフセット型プーリ30の軸受として組み込んだ場合、ベルト溝33の幅方向中央C1に対する軸受1Aの両列の転走面5,6間の中央位置Cのオフセット量を低減もしくは相殺することができる。その結果、センサ内蔵空間付軸受1Aの延命効果が得られる。   The sensor-equipped space-equipped bearing 1A has no rotation detection function, but the center position C between the rolling surfaces 5 and 6 of both rows is biased from the center in the width direction of the bearing 1A to the side opposite to the sensor arrangement space S side. Therefore, when incorporated as a bearing of the offset pulley 30 as shown in FIG. 2, the offset amount of the center position C between the rolling surfaces 5 and 6 of both rows of the bearing 1A with respect to the center C1 in the width direction of the belt groove 33. Can be reduced or offset. As a result, the life extension effect of the sensor-equipped space-equipped bearing 1A is obtained.

図5は、この発明の他の実施形態にかかるセンサ付軸受1Bを示す。このセンサ付軸受1Bは単列の多点接触玉軸受としたものであり、4点接触玉軸受とされている。すなわちこのセンサ付軸受1Bは、正逆両方向の接触角θ1,θ2を有し、内外輪2,3に4点で接触する軸受とされている。内外輪2,3の転走面5A,6Aは、例えばいずれもゴシックアーチ形状の断面形状とされる。この場合、転動体4の中心位置C’を、内外輪2,3の軸方向の中心位置に対して軸方向に偏らせてある。反偏り側における内外輪2,3間の転走面5A,6Aよりも端部側に、センサ装置11の構成部品を内蔵可能なセンサ配置空間Sが形成される。このセンサ配置空間S内に内外輪2,3間の相対回転を検出するセンサ装置11を内蔵している。センサ装置11および軸受シール9,10の構成は図1に示すセンサ付軸受1のものと同じである。   FIG. 5 shows a sensor-equipped bearing 1B according to another embodiment of the present invention. This sensor-equipped bearing 1B is a single-row multipoint contact ball bearing, and is a four-point contact ball bearing. That is, the sensor-equipped bearing 1B has contact angles θ1 and θ2 in both forward and reverse directions, and is a bearing that contacts the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 at four points. Each of the rolling surfaces 5A and 6A of the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 has, for example, a Gothic arch-shaped cross-sectional shape. In this case, the center position C ′ of the rolling element 4 is offset in the axial direction with respect to the center position of the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 in the axial direction. A sensor arrangement space S in which components of the sensor device 11 can be incorporated is formed on the end side of the rolling surfaces 5A and 6A between the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 on the opposite side. A sensor device 11 for detecting relative rotation between the inner and outer rings 2 and 3 is built in the sensor arrangement space S. The configuration of the sensor device 11 and the bearing seals 9 and 10 is the same as that of the sensor-equipped bearing 1 shown in FIG.

図6は、電磁クラッチに組み込まれるプーリの他の実施形態の断面図を示す。このプーリ30Aは、リング状の回転部材31の内径孔32内に、図5のセンサ付軸受1Bを圧入固定したものである。回転部材31の構成は、図2のプーリ30のものと同じであり、この場合のプーリ30Aは、回転部材31のベルト溝33の幅方向中央C1に対して、前記センサ付軸受1Bの幅方向中央を軸方向に意図的に偏らせたオフセット型のプーリであって、センサ付軸受1Bは内蔵されたセンサ装置11が回転部材31の軸受偏り設置側に向くように回転部材31に固定される。   FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectional view of another embodiment of a pulley incorporated in an electromagnetic clutch. The pulley 30 </ b> A is obtained by press-fitting and fixing the sensor-equipped bearing 1 </ b> B of FIG. 5 in the inner diameter hole 32 of the ring-shaped rotating member 31. The configuration of the rotating member 31 is the same as that of the pulley 30 in FIG. 2. In this case, the pulley 30A is in the width direction of the sensor-equipped bearing 1B with respect to the center C1 in the width direction of the belt groove 33 of the rotating member 31. This is an offset type pulley whose center is intentionally biased in the axial direction, and the sensor-equipped bearing 1B is fixed to the rotating member 31 so that the built-in sensor device 11 faces the bearing bias installation side of the rotating member 31. .

この実施形態においても、上記センサ付軸受1Bをオフセットプーリ30Aの軸受として組み込んだ場合、センサ付軸受1Bの転動体4の中心位置C’が、センサ付軸受1Bの幅方向中央からセンサ装置11の設置側とは反対側に偏らせてあるので、軸受の転動体中心位置を幅方向中央に一致させている通常の単列玉軸受を組み込んだ場合に比べて、ベルト溝33の幅方向中央C1に対するセンサ付軸受1Bの転動体中心位置C’のオフセット量を低減もしくは無くすことができる。その結果、センサ付軸受1Bの延命効果が得られる。また、接触楕円が内外輪2,3の転走面5A,6Aから外れることによる軸受破損の発生率を減少させることもできる。   Also in this embodiment, when the sensor-equipped bearing 1B is incorporated as a bearing of the offset pulley 30A, the center position C ′ of the rolling element 4 of the sensor-equipped bearing 1B moves from the center in the width direction of the sensor-equipped bearing 1B. Since it is biased to the side opposite to the installation side, the center C1 in the width direction of the belt groove 33 is compared with the case where a normal single row ball bearing in which the rolling element center position of the bearing is aligned with the center in the width direction is incorporated. The offset amount of the rolling element center position C ′ of the sensor-equipped bearing 1B can be reduced or eliminated. As a result, the life extension effect of the sensor-equipped bearing 1B is obtained. In addition, the occurrence rate of bearing breakage due to the contact ellipse being detached from the rolling surfaces 5A, 6A of the inner and outer rings 2, 3 can be reduced.

なお、図5のセンサ付軸受1Bにおいて、センサ装置11を未内蔵としたものについても、図6のようなオフセットプーリ30Aの軸受として組み込んだ場合、ベルト溝33の幅方向中央C1に対する転動体中心位置C’のオフセット量を低減または無くすことができる。その結果、センサ内蔵空間付軸受の延命効果が得られる。   In the sensor-equipped bearing 1B shown in FIG. 5, the rolling element center with respect to the center C1 in the width direction of the belt groove 33 when the sensor device 11 not incorporated is incorporated as a bearing of the offset pulley 30A as shown in FIG. The offset amount at the position C ′ can be reduced or eliminated. As a result, the life extension effect of the sensor-equipped space bearing can be obtained.

また、上記各実施形態は、いずれもオフセット型のプーリに使用した場合につき説明したが、この発明のセンサ付軸受は、荷重偏り状態で使用される場合一般にその効果を発揮することができる。   Moreover, although each said embodiment demonstrated about the case where all were used for the offset type pulley, the bearing with a sensor of this invention can generally exhibit the effect, when used in a load-biased state.
