Description

本発明は、軸体に転がり軸受を装着してなる軸受装置の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a bearing device in which a rolling bearing is mounted on a shaft body.

軸受装置の一例として車両用のハブユニットには、一般に、ハブホイールの軸体外周に転がり軸受を装着し、また、軸体の軸端をローリングかしめにより径方向外向きに膨出変形させてかしめ部としてそれをその軸受内輪の外端面にかしめつけることで軸受に対する予圧付与とその抜け止めを行っている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   As an example of a bearing device, a hub unit for a vehicle is generally equipped with a rolling bearing on the outer periphery of a hub body of a hub wheel, and the shaft end of the shaft body is bulged and deformed outward in a radial direction by rolling caulking. A preload is applied to the bearing and prevented from coming off by caulking it to the outer end surface of the bearing inner ring as a part (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

そして、このようなハブユニットにおいて駆動輪用の軸体には、ハブホイールの軸体をドライブシャフト挿入用の中空構造となし、その軸体内周に挿入したドライブシャフトをスプライン嵌合させるために、その内周にスプライン部を形成したスプライン部形成部分を備える。
特開２０００−８７９７９号公報 And in such a hub unit, the shaft body of the drive wheel is made into a hollow structure for inserting the drive shaft into the shaft body of the drive wheel, and in order to make the drive shaft inserted into the inner periphery of the shaft spline-fit, The spline part formation part which formed the spline part in the inner periphery is provided.
JP 2000-87979 A

したがって、このようなハブユニット構造の場合、軸体内周とドライブシャフトの両者を所要の強度で機械的に結合するために前記スプライン部形成部分は軸方向に長く形成され、その軸端のかしめ部形成部分にほぼ隣接するような形態とされている。   Therefore, in the case of such a hub unit structure, the spline portion forming portion is formed long in the axial direction in order to mechanically connect both the inner periphery of the shaft and the drive shaft with a required strength, and the caulked portion at the end of the shaft. The configuration is such that it is substantially adjacent to the formation portion.

そのため、スプライン部形成部分は、かしめ部を形成する際のかしめ加工により軸端の径方向外向きの変形の影響を直接的に受けやすく、ドライブシャフトを挿入させにくくする程度に径方向内向きに変形させられてしまう傾向となる。   Therefore, the spline part forming part is directly affected by the radially outward deformation of the shaft end by caulking when forming the caulking part, and the spline part forming part is radially inward to the extent that it is difficult to insert the drive shaft. It tends to be deformed.

したがって、本発明は、車両用ハブユニット等の軸受装置の製造方法において、軸体内周のスプライン部形成部分が、かしめ加工による変形を受けにくくしてそのスプライン部の精度を高く保持可能とすることを解決課題としている。   Therefore, according to the present invention, in a manufacturing method of a bearing device such as a hub unit for a vehicle, a spline portion forming portion around the shaft body is less susceptible to deformation due to caulking so that the accuracy of the spline portion can be maintained high. Is a solution issue.

本発明の軸受装置の製造方法は、中空の軸体に転がり軸受を外嵌装着し、この軸体の軸端を径方向外向きに変形させて転がり軸受の内輪の外端面に対してかしめつけることによって軸体に転がり軸受を抜け止め固定した軸受装置の製造方法であって、前記内輪の軸方向外端の内周角部分は曲率半径ｘ２の１／４円周で面取りされており、前記軸体においてその内周面に軸方向のスプライン部を形成した部分をスプライン部形成部分とし、また、軸体の軸端を径方向外向きに屈曲させるときの屈曲始点から軸体端面までの間をかしめ部形成部分とし、かつ、前記軸体においてスプライン部形成部分とかしめ部形成部分との間に、前記かしめに伴う軸体内周面に対する変形を抑制する緩衝部分を形成し、前記緩衝部分の形成位置を次式に従って設定してかしめていることを特徴とする。    In the method for manufacturing a bearing device according to the present invention, a rolling bearing is externally fitted to a hollow shaft body, and the shaft end of the shaft body is deformed radially outward to be caulked against the outer end surface of the inner ring of the rolling bearing. Thus, a bearing device manufacturing method in which a rolling bearing is secured to a shaft body to prevent it from falling off, wherein an inner peripheral angle portion of an outer end in the axial direction of the inner ring is chamfered at a ¼ circumference of a radius of curvature x2, The part of the shaft body where the axial spline part is formed on the inner peripheral surface is the spline part forming part, and the part from the bending start point to the shaft body end face when the shaft end of the shaft body is bent radially outward A caulking portion forming portion is formed, and a buffer portion is formed between the spline portion forming portion and the caulking portion forming portion in the shaft body to suppress deformation of the circumferential surface of the shaft body due to the caulking, Set the formation position according to the following formula. Characterized in that it is crimped to.

ｘ１＞ｘ２（ｙ１／ｙ２）
ただし、
ｘ１：緩衝部分の軸方向距離（スプライン部形成部分のかしめ側端部の位置から軸体の軸端を径方向外向きに屈曲させるときの屈曲始点までの軸方向距離）

ｙ１：軸体におけるスプライン部形成部分の外径とピッチ径との差の２分の１
ｙ２：軸体における軸端の外径と内径との差の２分の１
本発明によると、中空軸内周に、ドライブシャフト外周のスプライン部との機械結合のためにスプライン部が軸方向に長く形成されている場合においても、スプライン部形成部分と軸端のかしめ部形成部分との間に緩衝部分が設けられているから、スプライン部形成部分は、かしめ部を形成する際のかしめ加工により軸端の径方向外向きの変形の影響を直接的に受けることがなくなり、その結果、スプライン部の精度を高く保持することができ、ドライブシャフトを挿入させにくくするような変形を受けなくなる。 x1> x2 (y1 / y2)
However,
x1: Distance in the axial direction of the buffer portion (axial distance from the position of the caulking side end of the spline portion forming portion to the bending start point when the shaft end of the shaft body is bent radially outward)
x2: Axial direction distance from the bending start point to the caulking side outer end surface of the inner ring y1: One half of the difference between the outer diameter and the pitch diameter of the spline portion forming portion in the shaft body
y2: 1/2 of the difference between the outer diameter and inner diameter of the shaft end in the shaft body
According to the present invention, even when the spline part is formed long in the axial direction on the inner periphery of the hollow shaft for mechanical connection with the spline part on the outer periphery of the drive shaft, the spline part forming part and the caulking part of the shaft end are formed. Since the buffer part is provided between the part, the spline part forming part is not directly affected by the radially outward deformation of the shaft end by caulking when forming the caulking part, As a result, the accuracy of the spline portion can be kept high, and it is not subject to deformation that makes it difficult to insert the drive shaft.

本発明の軸受装置の製造方法において、前記転がり軸受が、複列外向きのアンギュラ玉軸受であることが好ましい。   In the method for manufacturing a bearing device according to the present invention, it is preferable that the rolling bearing is a double-row outward angular ball bearing.

本発明によれば、中空軸内周に、ドライブシャフト外周のスプライン部との機械結合のためにスプライン部が軸方向に長く形成されている場合においても、スプライン部形成部分と軸端のかしめ部形成部分との間に緩衝部分が設けられているから、スプライン部形成部分は、かしめ部を形成する際のかしめ加工により軸端の径方向外向きの変形の影響を直接的に受けることがなくなり、その結果、スプライン部の精度を高く保持することができ、ドライブシャフトを挿入させにくくするような変形を受けない。   According to the present invention, even when the spline portion is formed long in the axial direction on the inner periphery of the hollow shaft for mechanical coupling with the spline portion on the outer periphery of the drive shaft, the spline portion forming portion and the caulking portion of the shaft end Since the buffer portion is provided between the forming portion and the forming portion, the spline portion forming portion is not directly affected by the outward radial deformation of the shaft end due to caulking when forming the caulking portion. As a result, the accuracy of the spline portion can be kept high, and it does not undergo deformation that makes it difficult to insert the drive shaft.

本発明の詳細を図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。ここでは、軸受装置として車両用ハブユニットを例に挙げる。   The details of the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the drawings. Here, a vehicle hub unit is taken as an example of the bearing device.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part of the spline fitting portion between the inner periphery of the shaft of the hub wheel and the outer periphery of the drive shaft in the vehicle hub unit, FIG. 4 is an enlarged plan view of the main part of the spline fitting portion of FIG. FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the inner ring of the angular ball bearing of the vehicle hub unit, the spline fitting portion of the hollow shaft, and the periphery of the shaft end. In FIG. 5, the illustration of the balls and the like is omitted for ease of illustration.

図例の車両用ハブユニット１０は、ハブホイール１１およびアンギュラ玉軸受１２を備える。   The illustrated vehicle hub unit 10 includes a hub wheel 11 and an angular ball bearing 12.

ハブホイール１１は、不図示の車輪が取り付けられる径方向外向きのフランジ１３と、アンギュラ玉軸受２がその外周の軸受嵌合領域に固定される中空軸１４とを有する。   The hub wheel 11 has a radially outward flange 13 to which a wheel (not shown) is attached, and a hollow shaft 14 to which the angular ball bearing 2 is fixed to a bearing fitting region on the outer periphery thereof.

アンギュラ玉軸受１２は、斜接形式の転がり軸受の一例としての複列外向きの形式であって、中空軸１４の小径外周面に外嵌される単一軌道を有する前記内輪１５と、二列の軌道溝を有する単一の外輪１６と、二列で配設される複数の玉１７と、二つの冠形保持器１８とを備えており、前述のハブホイール１１の中空軸１４の大径外周面を一方内輪とする構成になっている。内輪１５は、一般的な単列アンギュラ玉軸受の内輪をそのまま流用している。   The angular ball bearing 12 is a double-row outward type as an example of an oblique contact type rolling bearing, and includes the inner ring 15 having a single race that is fitted on the small-diameter outer peripheral surface of the hollow shaft 14 and two rows. A single outer ring 16 having a raceway groove, a plurality of balls 17 arranged in two rows, and two crown-shaped cages 18, and the large diameter of the hollow shaft 14 of the hub wheel 11 described above. The outer peripheral surface is one inner ring. As the inner ring 15, an inner ring of a general single row angular contact ball bearing is used as it is.

外輪１６の外周には、径方向外向きのフランジ１９が設けられている。   A radially outward flange 19 is provided on the outer periphery of the outer ring 16.

このようなハブユニット１０は、図１の中空軸１４の軸端１４ａが図１の状態から図２の状態に内輪１５のかしめ側外端面にかしめつけられた後、車両のドライブシャフト２０とシャフトケース２１との間に取り付けられる。つまり、ハブホイール１１の中空軸１４がドライブシャフト２０にスプライン嵌合されてナット２２により結合され、軸受１２の外輪１６のフランジ１９がシャフトケース２１にボルト２３により非回転に結合される。ここで、１４ｂは、中空軸１４の内周に形成されたスプライン部であり、２０ａは、ドライブシャフト２０の外周に形成されたスプライン部であり、これら両スプライン部１４ｂ，２０ａにより前記スプライン嵌合が行われる。   Such a hub unit 10 is configured such that the shaft end 14a of the hollow shaft 14 of FIG. 1 is caulked to the caulking side outer end surface of the inner ring 15 from the state of FIG. 1 to the state of FIG. It is attached between the case 21. That is, the hollow shaft 14 of the hub wheel 11 is spline-fitted to the drive shaft 20 and coupled by the nut 22, and the flange 19 of the outer ring 16 of the bearing 12 is coupled to the shaft case 21 by the bolt 23 so as not to rotate. Here, 14b is a spline portion formed on the inner periphery of the hollow shaft 14, and 20a is a spline portion formed on the outer periphery of the drive shaft 20, and the spline fitting is performed by both the spline portions 14b and 20a. Is done.

このような中空軸１４のスプライン部１４ｂとドライブシャフト２０のスプライン部２０ａとの嵌合状態は、図３および図４で示すようになっている。すなわち、各スプライン部１４ｂ，２０ａは周方向に等間隔でかつインボリュート形状とされる。この場合、両スプライン部１４ｂ，２０ａの形状は、インボリュート形状に限定されず、他の形状でもよい。   The fitting state between the spline part 14b of the hollow shaft 14 and the spline part 20a of the drive shaft 20 is as shown in FIGS. That is, each spline part 14b, 20a is made into an involute shape at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. In this case, the shape of both the spline portions 14b and 20a is not limited to the involute shape, and may be another shape.

中空軸１４のスプライン部１４ｂは、周方向に斜めになり、このスプライン部１４ｂの周方向一方は、ドライブシャフト１４のスプライン部２０ａの周方向一方に当接し、スプライン部１４ｂの周方向他方は、スプライン部２０ａの周方向他方に当接するようになっている。   The spline portion 14b of the hollow shaft 14 is inclined in the circumferential direction, one circumferential direction of the spline portion 14b abuts on one circumferential direction of the spline portion 20a of the drive shaft 14, and the other circumferential direction of the spline portion 14b is It contacts with the other circumferential direction of the spline part 20a.

次に本実施形態の特徴について図５を参照して説明する。   Next, features of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

本実施形態では、中空軸１４において、スプライン部形成部分１４１とかしめ部形成部分１４２とが形成され、前記両部分１４１，１４２の間に、中空軸１４の軸端１４ａのかしめに伴う中空軸１４内周面に対する変形を抑制する緩衝部分１４３が設けられていることに特徴を有している。   In the present embodiment, a spline portion forming portion 141 and a caulking portion forming portion 142 are formed in the hollow shaft 14, and the hollow shaft 14 accompanying caulking of the shaft end 14 a of the hollow shaft 14 is formed between both the portions 141 and 142. A buffer portion 143 that suppresses deformation of the inner peripheral surface is provided.

上記構成によれば、スプライン部形成部分１４１は、中空軸１４の軸端１４ａをかしめ加工するに際してその軸端１４ａの径方向外向きの変形の影響を緩衝部分１４３で緩衝される結果、その変形が緩和ないし抑制され、前記かしめ加工に際してもスプライン部１４ｂの精度を高く保持でき、ドライブシャフトを挿入させにくくする程度の変形を受けずに済む。   According to the above configuration, the spline portion forming portion 141 is deformed as a result of the buffer portion 143 buffering the influence of the radially outward deformation of the shaft end 14a when the shaft end 14a of the hollow shaft 14 is caulked. Therefore, the accuracy of the spline portion 14b can be kept high even during the caulking process, and it is not necessary to undergo deformation to the extent that it is difficult to insert the drive shaft.

この特徴について詳しく説明する。   This feature will be described in detail.

前記スプライン部形成部分１４１は、中空軸１４内周に形成されたスプライン部１４ｂの軸方向両端面間における中空軸部分であって、スプライン部１４ｂにおけるピッチ円線上のかしめ側端面をそのかしめ側端部Ａとしている。   The spline portion forming portion 141 is a hollow shaft portion between both axial end surfaces of the spline portion 14b formed on the inner periphery of the hollow shaft 14, and the caulking side end surface on the pitch circle in the spline portion 14b is the caulking side end. Part A.

前記かしめ部形成部分１４２は、中空軸１４の軸端１４ａの屈曲始点Ｂから軸端１４ａの端面までの部分である。ここで、アンギュラ玉軸受１２の内輪１５におけるかしめ側外端面の内周角部１５ａは、丸く例えば中心Ｏから曲率半径ｘ２の１／４円周で面取りされていて、その中心Ｏから径方向の線と内周角部１５ａとの交点が前記屈曲始点Ｂとされる。   The caulking portion forming portion 142 is a portion from the bending start point B of the shaft end 14a of the hollow shaft 14 to the end surface of the shaft end 14a. Here, the inner peripheral corner portion 15a of the caulking side outer end surface of the inner ring 15 of the angular ball bearing 12 is rounded, for example, chamfered from the center O by a quarter circumference of the radius of curvature x2, and the radial direction from the center O is radial. The intersection of the line and the inner peripheral corner portion 15a is the bending start point B.

そして、前記緩衝部分１４３は、前記かしめ側端部Ａと屈曲始点Ｂとの間の中空軸部分となる。   The buffer portion 143 is a hollow shaft portion between the caulking side end A and the bending start point B.

ここで、中空軸１４の外径Ｄｏとスプライン部１４ｂのピッチ径Ｄｐとの差の２分の１をｙ１、中空軸１４の外径Ｄｏと内径Ｄｉとの差の２分の１をｙ２、スプライン部２０ｂのかしめ側端部Ａから前記屈曲始点Ｂまでの軸方向距離（緩衝部分１４３の軸方向長さに対応）をｘ１、屈曲始点Ｂから内輪１５のかしめ側外端面までの軸方向距離をｘ２とすると、前記緩衝部分１４３の位置は次式（１）に従って設定される。   Here, y1 is a half of the difference between the outer diameter Do of the hollow shaft 14 and the pitch diameter Dp of the spline portion 14b, and y2 is a half of the difference between the outer diameter Do and the inner diameter Di of the hollow shaft 14. The axial distance from the caulking side end A of the spline portion 20b to the bending start point B (corresponding to the axial length of the buffer portion 143) is x1, and the axial distance from the bending start point B to the caulking side outer end surface of the inner ring 15 Is set to x2, the position of the buffer portion 143 is set according to the following equation (1).

（ｘ１／ｘ２）＞（ｙ１／ｙ２） … （１）
緩衝部分１４３の位置を上記式（１）で設定すると、中空軸１４の製作つまりスプライン部の形成位置やかしめ部となる軸端の設定、などが容易となって好ましい。 (X1 / x2)> (y1 / y2) (1)
When the position of the buffer portion 143 is set by the above formula (1), it is preferable that the hollow shaft 14 is manufactured, that is, the spline portion is formed and the shaft end that is the caulking portion is easily set.

なお、上記式（１）の根拠について説明すると、式（１）を変形して次式（２）が得られる。   In addition, if the basis of the said Formula (1) is demonstrated, Formula (1) will be deform | transformed and following Formula (2) will be obtained.

ｘ１＞ｘ２（ｙ１／ｙ２） … （２）
そうすると、ｘ２は屈曲始点Ｂから内輪１５のかしめ側外端面までの軸方向距離であるが、これは内輪１５の内周角部１５ａにおける面取の曲率半径が大きくなるとき、また、前記ｙ２とｙ１との比率つまりスプライン部形成部分１４１とかしめ部形成部分１４２の肉厚比率が大きくなるとき、スプライン部形成部分１４１に対する中空軸１４の軸端１４ａのかしめの変形の影響が大きくなるから、緩衝部分１４３の軸方向長さｘ１を長くすることに基づいている。 x1> x2 (y1 / y2) (2)
Then, x2 is an axial distance from the bending start point B to the caulking side outer end surface of the inner ring 15, and this is when the radius of curvature of chamfering at the inner peripheral corner portion 15a of the inner ring 15 increases, When the ratio of y1, that is, the thickness ratio of the spline portion forming portion 141 and the caulking portion forming portion 142 is increased, the influence of the caulking deformation of the shaft end 14a of the hollow shaft 14 on the spline portion forming portion 141 is increased.
