前記カバー部材のフランジ体と筒状体とは別部品によって構成され、
前記筒状体は、前記フランジ体よりも薄肉の金属板によって円筒状に形成された筒胴部と、その筒胴部の一端縁から半径方向内方へ曲げ加工された環状の端壁部とを一体に有し、
前記筒状体の筒胴部内には、前記フランジ体と前記外輪とが順次に圧入されて固定されると共に、前記フランジ体の一側面が前記環状の端壁部に当接し、前記外輪の一端面が前記フランジ体の他側面に当接して前記筒状体と前記フランジ体と前記外輪とが一体化されていることを特徴とする。

For example, the radius of curvature R1 of the first bent portion 62 is set to about 2 mm to 3 mm, and the radius of curvature R2 of the second bent portion 64 is set to about 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

また、この実施例1において、図3に示すように、フランジ体60の外径側フランジ部61の外径縁部には、所要とする面取り角度をもって面取り部61aが形成されている。
特に、この実施例1において、カバー部材50の筒状体51が外輪31から抜け出る方向へ移動されることがないように、面取り部61aは、その内径端のエッジ部61bの半径寸法をAとし、クラッチレリーズ軸受30の外輪31端面の内径縁と外径側フランジ部61との接触点Pの半径寸法をBとしたときに、「A≦B」の関係となるように設定されている。
なお、図1に示すように、フランジ体60に沿って配設されたばね受け部材70とシリンダ外筒体15との間には、カバー部材50と共にクラッチレリーズ軸受30をダイヤフラムスプリング40に向けて押圧する加圧ばね75が配設されている。
Further, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a chamfered portion 61 a having a required chamfering angle is formed on the outer diameter edge portion of the outer diameter side flange portion 61 of the flange body 60.
In particular, in the first embodiment, the chamfered portion 61a has a radius dimension of the edge portion 61b at the inner diameter end thereof as A so that the cylindrical body 51 of the cover member 50 is not moved in the direction of coming out of the outer ring 31. When the radius dimension of the contact point P between the inner diameter edge of the outer ring 31 end face of the clutch release bearing 30 and the outer diameter side flange portion 61 is B, the relationship of “A ≦ B” is set.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1, the clutch release bearing 30 is pressed toward the diaphragm spring 40 together with the cover member 50 between the spring receiving member 70 disposed along the flange body 60 and the cylinder outer cylinder body 15. A pressure spring 75 is disposed.

この実施例1に係る油圧式クラッチレリーズ軸受装置は上述したように構成される。
したがって、クラッチペダル(図示しない)の踏み込み動作に基づいてシリンダ空間16内に油圧が供給されると、環状ピストン20が押し出される。
すると、環状ピストン20の環状溝21一側内壁面の押圧面22にカバー部材50のフランジ体60の内径側フランジ部65が押圧されてカバー部材50と共にクラッチレリーズ軸受30が軸方向左側へ移動される。そして、クラッチレリーズ軸受30の内輪35端部の環状の押圧部36によってダイヤフラムスプリング40の内径側部分41が押圧され、図示しないクラッチが作動(遮断)される。
The hydraulic clutch release bearing device according to the first embodiment is configured as described above.
Therefore, when the hydraulic pressure is supplied into the cylinder space 16 based on the depression of a clutch pedal (not shown), the annular piston 20 is pushed out.
Then, the inner diameter side flange portion 65 of the flange body 60 of the cover member 50 is pressed against the pressing surface 22 on the inner wall surface of the annular groove 21 of the annular piston 20, and the clutch release bearing 30 is moved to the left in the axial direction together with the cover member 50. The Then, the inner diameter side portion 41 of the diaphragm spring 40 is pressed by the annular pressing portion 36 at the end of the inner ring 35 of the clutch release bearing 30, and a clutch (not shown) is operated (disconnected).

さて、カバー部材50を別部品よりなる筒状体51とフランジ体60によって構成し、フランジ体60よりも薄肉の金属板よりなる筒状体51の筒胴部52内に、フランジ体60とクラッチレリーズ軸受30の外輪31とを圧入固定して一体化することによって、カバー部材50の筒状体51の外径寸法を小さく抑えることができる。ひいては、油圧式クラッチレリーズ軸受装置全体の小型化を良好に図ることができる。   Now, the cover member 50 is constituted by a cylindrical body 51 and a flange body 60 made of different parts, and the flange body 60 and the clutch are placed in the cylindrical body portion 52 of the cylindrical body 51 made of a metal plate thinner than the flange body 60. By integrating the outer ring 31 of the release bearing 30 by press fitting, the outer diameter of the cylindrical body 51 of the cover member 50 can be kept small. As a result, it is possible to satisfactorily reduce the size of the entire hydraulic clutch release bearing device.

また、この実施例1において、筒状体51の小径の筒端部53にフランジ体60を、筒胴部52に外輪31をそれぞれ所要とする締め代をもって不足なく良好に圧入固定することができる。このため、締め代の不足が原因となる筒状体51に対するフランジ体60あるいは外輪31の相対的な空回りを防止することができ、クラッチレリーズ軸受30の軸受性能を維持することができる。   Further, in the first embodiment, the flange body 60 and the outer ring 31 can be press-fitted and fixed satisfactorily with the required tightening margins at the small-diameter tube end 53 of the tubular body 51 and the outer ring 31 at the tubular body 52, respectively. . For this reason, relative idle rotation of the flange body 60 or the outer ring 31 with respect to the cylindrical body 51 due to insufficient tightening allowance can be prevented, and the bearing performance of the clutch release bearing 30 can be maintained.

また、この実施例1において、図2に示すように、フランジ体60は、外径側フランジ部61と、第1屈曲部62と、中間筒部63と、第2屈曲部64と、内径側フランジ部65とを一体連続状に備えて縦断面Z字状に形成され、中間筒部63は、第1屈曲部62の端縁からクラッチレリーズ軸受30の内輪35の内周面に沿って延びている。このため、クラッチレリーズ軸受30の内輪35の内周側の空間を有効に利用してフランジ体60の中間筒部63を配置することができ、油圧式クラッチレリーズ軸受装置の小型化に効果が大きい。
また、フランジ体60の板厚を積極的に厚くして剛性をより一層高めた場合においても、油圧式クラッチレリーズ軸受装置の大型化を抑制することが可能となる。
また、フランジ体60の第1屈曲部62や第2屈曲部64に応力が集中することがないように、第1、第2の屈曲部62、64の曲率半径R1、R2が設定され、さらに、第1屈曲部62の曲率半径R1は、第2屈曲部64の曲率半径R2よりも大きく設定されるため、フランジ体60の第1屈曲部62や第2屈曲部64に過大な応力が集中して損傷されることを防止することができ、耐久性の向上を図ることができる。
In Example 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the flange body 60 includes an outer diameter side flange portion 61, a first bent portion 62, an intermediate cylindrical portion 63, a second bent portion 64, and an inner diameter side. The flange portion 65 is integrally and continuously formed, and is formed in a Z-shaped longitudinal section. The intermediate cylinder portion 63 extends from the end edge of the first bent portion 62 along the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring 35 of the clutch release bearing 30. ing. For this reason, the intermediate cylinder part 63 of the flange body 60 can be disposed by effectively utilizing the space on the inner peripheral side of the inner ring 35 of the clutch release bearing 30, which is highly effective in reducing the size of the hydraulic clutch release bearing device. .
Moreover, even when the plate thickness of the flange body 60 is positively increased to further increase the rigidity, it is possible to suppress an increase in size of the hydraulic clutch release bearing device.
Further, the radii of curvature R1 and R2 of the first and second bent portions 62 and 64 are set so that stress does not concentrate on the first bent portion 62 and the second bent portion 64 of the flange body 60, and Since the radius of curvature R1 of the first bent portion 62 is set larger than the radius of curvature R2 of the second bent portion 64, excessive stress is concentrated on the first bent portion 62 and the second bent portion 64 of the flange body 60. Damage can be prevented, and durability can be improved.

また、この実施例1において、図3に示すように、フランジ体60の外径側フランジ部61の面取り部61aは、その内径端のエッジ部61bの半径寸法をAとし、クラッチレリーズ軸受30の外輪31端面の内径縁と外径側フランジ部61との接触点Pの半径寸法をBとしたときに、「A≦B」の関係となるように設定されている。
これによって、図4に示すように、フランジ体60の外径側フランジ部61が接触点Bを支点として図4に向かって時計回り方向へ傾いた場合、外径側フランジ部61の面取り部61a内径端のエッジ部61bが外輪31端面側へ変位する。このため、カバー部材50の筒状体51が外輪31から不測に抜け出る方向へ移動されることを防止することができる。
また、図5に示すように、フランジ体60の外径側フランジ部61の外径縁部に所要とする曲率半径を面取り部61a’を形成しても同等の作用効果を奏する。
Further, in the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the chamfered portion 61 a of the outer diameter side flange portion 61 of the flange body 60 has a radius dimension of the edge portion 61 b at the inner diameter end of the clutch release bearing 30. When the radius dimension of the contact point P between the inner diameter edge of the end face of the outer ring 31 and the outer diameter side flange portion 61 is B, the relation of “A ≦ B” is set.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, when the outer diameter side flange portion 61 of the flange body 60 is tilted clockwise with respect to the contact point B toward FIG. 4, the chamfered portion 61 a of the outer diameter side flange portion 61. The edge portion 61b at the inner diameter end is displaced toward the outer ring 31 end face side. For this reason, it can prevent that the cylindrical body 51 of the cover member 50 is moved to the direction which pulls out from the outer ring | wheel 31 unexpectedly.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, even if the chamfered portion 61a ′ is formed to have a required radius of curvature at the outer diameter edge portion of the outer diameter side flange portion 61 of the flange body 60, the same effect can be obtained.

例えば、前記実施例1においては、カバー部材50の筒状体51の端部に小径の筒端部53を形成したが、小径の筒端部53は必ずしも設けなくてもこの発明を実施することができる。

また、図6に示すように、筒胴部152内にフランジ体160とクラッチレリーズ軸受30の外輪31とを順次に圧入固定した後、筒状体(筒胴部152)151の他端縁152aを半径方向内方へ環状に折り曲げて環状部155を形成することによって、筒状体151と、フランジ体160と外輪31とを強固に結合することが望ましい。
