  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a caliper body manufacturing method and a caliper body for a vehicle disc brake, and more specifically, a pair of action portions arranged opposite to each other with a disc rotor interposed therebetween and a bridge portion straddling the outside of the disc rotor are integrally formed. The present invention relates to a caliper body manufacturing method and a caliper body for a monocoque piston-opposed vehicle disc brake.

Conventionally, a monocoque piston-facing caliper body in which a pair of action portions and a bridge portion are integrally formed is formed by integrally casting the pair of action portions and a bridge portion straddling the outside of the disk rotor, and then casting the cylinder hole. A cylinder hole is formed by finishing the punched hole. When the opening size of the opening formed between both working parts is narrow, a cutting tool jig is inserted from the bottom side of the cylinder hole for one working part and the cylinder hole for one working part is used. A cylinder hole is formed by cutting and finishing the cast hole and the cylinder hole for the other working part, and closing the cylinder hole machining hole formed in the one working part with a screw-type lid member. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1), a cylinder hole is formed by friction stir welding of the lid member (for example, refer to Patent Document 2), or a dust seal provided on the opening side of the cylinder hole In some cases, an opening dimension is formed with an interval at which a cutting jig can be inserted (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

  However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, since the cylinder hole of one working part must be closed with a lid member without impairing the sealing performance, the number of parts increases and the lid member is sealed in a liquid-tight manner. It was necessary to do it, and it took time and effort. Moreover, in the thing of patent document 2, while the joining method of the cover member was large, there existed a possibility that a caliper body might be distorted with the heat | fever which generate | occur | produces at the time of joining. Furthermore, in the thing of patent document 3, the structure of the cylinder hole became complicated and the cost increased.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a caliper body for a vehicle disc brake that can efficiently finish a cylinder hole while reducing the size of the caliper body.

  In order to achieve the above object, a caliper body manufacturing method for a vehicle disc brake according to the present invention is formed by integrally casting a pair of acting portions arranged opposite to each other with a disc rotor interposed therebetween and a bridge portion straddling the outside of the disc rotor. After that, with a cutting jig in which a rotary blade is rotatably provided on one side of the tip of the drive shaft portion, a cylinder hole for a cylinder hole formed to face both the action portions is cut. In a caliper body manufacturing method for a monocoque piston-opposed vehicle disc brake that forms a cylinder hole, the axis of the rotary blade is driven into an opening formed between the pair of working portions of the caliper body after casting. After inserting the tip of the cutting jig in a state in which the rotary cutter side is inclined in a direction approaching the cylinder hole center line from the part, the axis of the rotary tool is set to the cylinder hole center line. The cutting hole for the cylinder hole is cut in a direction parallel to the cylinder hole, and the cutting jig preferably has a chamfered corner at the other end of the drive shaft. . Further, the caliper body is formed such that the opening dimension of the opening is narrower than the length dimension in the axial direction of the rotary blade at the tip of the cutting jig to which the rotary blade is attached, Avoid interference with the cutting jig when the tip of the cutting jig is inserted into the opening on at least a part of the disk inner peripheral corner on the opening side of each working part. It is preferable that a chamfered portion is formed.

  The caliper body of the disc brake for a vehicle according to the present invention is formed by integrally casting a pair of action portions arranged opposite to each other with the disc rotor interposed therebetween and a bridge portion straddling the outside of the disc rotor, and then at one end of the drive shaft portion. Monocoque piston-facing type in which a cylinder hole is formed by cutting a cylinder hole for a cylinder hole formed opposite to the two working parts with a cutting jig that rotatably projects a rotary blade at the part In the caliper body of the vehicle disc brake of the present invention, the axis of the rotary blade is set to the opening formed between the pair of working portions of the caliper body after casting, and the rotary blade side of the rotary blade side with respect to the cylinder hole center line from the drive shaft portion. After the tip of the cutting jig is inserted in a state of being inclined in the approaching direction, the axis of the rotary blade is set in a direction parallel to the cylinder hole center line, and the casting for the cylinder hole is performed. The cylinder hole is formed by cutting a hole, and the opening size of the opening is larger than the length in the axial direction of the rotary blade at the tip of the cutting jig to which the rotary blade is attached. Are formed narrowly, and when the tip of the cutting jig is inserted into the opening at least a part of the disk inner peripheral corner on the opening side of each action portion, the cutting process is performed. It is preferable that a chamfered portion for avoiding interference with the jig is formed. Further, it is preferable that a flat surface in a direction perpendicular to the cylinder hole center line is formed between the chamfered portion and the cylinder hole opening end.

  According to the caliper body manufacturing method for a vehicle disc brake of the present invention, the opening dimension of the opening between the two opposing working parts is the length dimension from the outer surface of the rotary blade to the other end of the tip of the drive shaft. Even if it is narrower, it is possible to finish the cylinder hole by inserting a cutting jig into the opening of the caliper body after casting, thereby improving the workability of the cylinder hole. Since the opening size of the opening can be reduced, the caliper body can be downsized. Further, there is no need to use another member such as a lid member, and there is no need to perform processing for using the other member, and the cost can be reduced.

  Furthermore, by chamfering the anti-rotating cutting tool side tip corner of the drive shaft of the cutting jig, the opening surrounded by the pair of action parts and the bridge part of the caliper body after casting can be made easier. Therefore, the opening size of the opening can be further narrowed, and the caliper body can be further reduced in size.

  Further, the caliper body of the disc brake for a vehicle according to the present invention is such that the opening size of the opening between the opposing working portions of the caliper body after casting is such that the rotary blade tool at the tip of the cutting jig to which the rotary blade tool is attached. Even if it is narrower than the length in the axial direction, the rotary blade of the cutting jig is tilted in such a way that the axis of the rotary blade is closer to the cylinder hole center line than the drive shaft. After the insertion, the axis of the rotary blade can be set in a direction parallel to the cylinder hole center line so that the cast hole for the cylinder hole can be cut. The length of the tool can be made narrower, and the caliper body can be reduced in size without impairing the workability. Furthermore, by forming a chamfered portion at the inner peripheral side end of the disk on the opening side of each working portion, it becomes easy to insert the cutting jig in a state inclined to the opening portion, and the opening size of the opening portion is further increased. The caliper body can be further reduced in size by being narrowed.

  In addition, by forming a flat surface between the chamfered portion on the opening side of the action portion and the cylinder hole opening portion, it is possible to ensure the strength on the cylinder hole opening side and to securely attach a sealing material such as a dust seal. it can.
