各種回転機器の回転支持部に、図7に示す様なラジアル玉軸受1が組み込まれている。このラジアル玉軸受1は、単列深溝型であって、互いに同心に配置された外輪2と内輪3との間に複数個の玉4、4を設置して成る。このうちの外輪2の内周面の軸方向中間部に深溝型の外輪軌道5を、内輪3の外周面の軸方向中間部に深溝型の内輪軌道6を、それぞれ全周に亙って形成している。前記各玉4、4は、保持器7により保持された状態で、前記外輪軌道5と前記内輪軌道6との間に転動自在に配置している。そして、この構成により、前記外輪2と前記内輪3との相対回転を自在としている。   A radial ball bearing 1 as shown in FIG. 7 is incorporated in a rotation support portion of various rotating devices. This radial ball bearing 1 is of a single-row deep groove type, and has a plurality of balls 4, 4 installed between an outer ring 2 and an inner ring 3 arranged concentrically with each other. Of these, a deep groove type outer ring raceway 5 is formed on the axially intermediate portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 2, and a deep groove type inner ring raceway 6 is formed on the entire outer periphery of the inner ring 3. doing. The balls 4 and 4 are arranged so as to roll between the outer ring raceway 5 and the inner ring raceway 6 while being held by a cage 7. With this configuration, the outer ring 2 and the inner ring 3 can be freely rotated relative to each other.

上述の様なラジアル玉軸受1を構成する、前記外輪2や前記内輪3等の軌道輪を低コストで造る方法として、例えば特許文献1に記載された方法が知られている。この方法では、図8(A)に示したビレット8の下端部の外径を拘束した状態でこのビレット8を軸方向に押し潰す据え込み加工を施す事により、図8(B)に示した様な、小径部9と大径部10とから成る、第一中間素材11を形成する。次いで、このうちの小径部9に前方押出加工を施してこの小径部9を小径の第二円筒部12に加工する事により、図8(C)に示した第二中間素材13とする。次いで、前記大径部10に後方押出加工を施して、この大径部10を大径の第一円筒部14に加工する事により、図8(D)に示した第三中間素材15とする。次いで、この第三中間素材15に打ち抜き加工を施して、この第三中間素材15の底板部16を打ち抜き、図8(E)に示した第四中間素材17とする。次いで、図8(F)に示す様に、この第四中間素材17に打ち抜き加工を施して、この第四中間素材17から、前記第二円筒部12に相当する部分を打ち抜き小径円筒部材18とする。最後に、図8(G)に示す様に、前記第一円筒部14に相当する部分から内向鍔部19を打ち抜いて、大径円筒部材20とする。これら小径、大径各円筒部材18、20は、何れも特許請求の範囲に記載した円環状の金属素材に相当する部材である。   For example, a method described in Patent Document 1 is known as a method for producing the race rings such as the outer ring 2 and the inner ring 3 constituting the radial ball bearing 1 as described above at low cost. In this method, as shown in FIG. 8 (B), an upsetting process is performed in which the billet 8 is crushed in the axial direction while the outer diameter of the lower end of the billet 8 shown in FIG. 8 (A) is constrained. Thus, the first intermediate material 11 composed of the small diameter portion 9 and the large diameter portion 10 is formed. Next, a forward extrusion process is performed on the small-diameter portion 9 and the small-diameter portion 9 is processed into a small-diameter second cylindrical portion 12 to obtain the second intermediate material 13 shown in FIG. Next, the large-diameter portion 10 is subjected to backward extrusion processing, and the large-diameter portion 10 is processed into a large-diameter first cylindrical portion 14, thereby obtaining the third intermediate material 15 shown in FIG. . Next, the third intermediate material 15 is punched, and the bottom plate portion 16 of the third intermediate material 15 is punched to obtain the fourth intermediate material 17 shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (F), the fourth intermediate material 17 is punched, and a portion corresponding to the second cylindrical portion 12 is punched from the fourth intermediate material 17 and the small-diameter cylindrical member 18 and To do. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8G, the inward flange portion 19 is punched out from the portion corresponding to the first cylindrical portion 14 to obtain a large-diameter cylindrical member 20. Each of these small-diameter and large-diameter cylindrical members 18 and 20 is a member corresponding to an annular metal material described in the claims.

上述の様な工程により得られる小径、大径各円筒部材18、20は、前記外輪2又は前記内輪3の素材となるものであり、この状態では、内径寸法、外径寸法、軸方向寸法、及び内外両周面の形状が、前記外輪2又は前記内輪3の寸法及び形状となっていない。そこで、この様な小径、大径各円筒部材18、20を、前記外輪2又は前記内輪3の形状に加工する作業を、圧延転造加工により行う事が、前記特許文献1及び前記特許文献2に記載される等して従来から知られている。以下、前記小径、大径各円筒部材18、20等の金属素材を、圧延転造加工により、前記外輪2又は前記内輪3の形状に加工する作業に就いて、図9を参照しつつ簡単に説明する。   The small-diameter and large-diameter cylindrical members 18 and 20 obtained by the process as described above are materials of the outer ring 2 or the inner ring 3, and in this state, the inner diameter dimension, the outer diameter dimension, the axial dimension, And the shape of both inner and outer peripheral surfaces is not the size and shape of the outer ring 2 or the inner ring 3. Therefore, the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 describe that the work for processing such small and large diameter cylindrical members 18 and 20 into the shape of the outer ring 2 or the inner ring 3 is performed by rolling and rolling. And so on. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9, it is easy to process a metal material such as the small-diameter and large-diameter cylindrical members 18 and 20 into the shape of the outer ring 2 or the inner ring 3 by rolling and rolling. explain.

図9、10は、特許文献2に記載されたリング状部材の製造装置21を示している。この製造装置21は、圧延転造加工により前記小径、大径各円筒部材18、20等の金属素材26を加工後のリング状部材22{仕上げ加工(切削加工及び研削加工)前の内輪3の状態}に加工する為の装置であり、マンドレル23と、成形ロール24と、サポートロール25とを備えている。   9 and 10 show a ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus 21 described in Patent Document 2. FIG. This manufacturing apparatus 21 includes a ring-shaped member 22 {the inner ring 3 before finishing (cutting and grinding) after the metal material 26 such as the small diameter and large diameter cylindrical members 18 and 20 is processed by rolling and rolling. Device}, and includes a mandrel 23, a forming roll 24, and a support roll 25.

このうちのマンドレル23は、外周面の軸方向中間部に形成された、前記金属素材26の内周面に転造加工を施す為の第一転造面27と、この第一転造面27の軸方向両側に設けられた円筒面状の1対のマンドレル側規制面28、28とを有している。この様な第一転造面27は、軸方向中間部が軸方向に関して外径が変化しない円筒面状(断面直線状)であり、軸方向両端寄り部分が、軸方向両端に向かう程、外径が大きくなる断面円弧状に形成されている。この様なマンドレル23は、軸方向(図9、10の上下方向)の変位、及び自身の中心軸を中心とした回転を可能な状態で受け台29に支持されている。   Among these, the mandrel 23 includes a first rolling surface 27 formed at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the outer peripheral surface for rolling the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26, and the first rolling surface 27. A pair of mandrel-side regulating surfaces 28 and 28 having a cylindrical surface provided on both sides in the axial direction. Such a first rolling surface 27 has a cylindrical surface shape in which the outer diameter in the axial direction does not change with respect to the axial direction (straight cross section), and the portion closer to both ends in the axial direction moves toward the both ends in the axial direction. It is formed in a circular arc shape with a large diameter. Such a mandrel 23 is supported by the cradle 29 in a state where displacement in the axial direction (vertical direction in FIGS. 9 and 10) and rotation about its own central axis are possible.

又、前記成形ロール24は、円筒状であり、外周面の軸方向中間部に形成された、前記金属素材26の外周面に転造加工を施す為の第二転造面30と、この第二転造面30の軸方向両側に形成された円筒面状の1対の成形ロール側規制面31、31とを有する。このうちの第二転造面30は、軸方向両端寄り部分から軸方向両端縁に掛けての部分が軸方向に関して外径が変化しない円筒面状(断面直線状)であり、軸方向中央寄り部分(円筒面状部分の間部分)が、軸方向中央に向かう程外径が大きくなる断面半円弧状に形成されている。前記成形ロール24は、その中心軸が前記マンドレル23の中心軸と平行な状態で、前記第二転造面30を、このマンドレル23の第一転造面27と対向させている。この様な成形ロール24は、回転しながら水平方向(図9、10の左右方向)に変位(マンドレル23に遠近動)可能である。   The forming roll 24 has a cylindrical shape, a second rolling surface 30 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the metal material 26, which is formed in an axially intermediate portion of the outer peripheral surface, and the second rolling surface 30. It has a pair of cylindrical roll-shaped regulation surfaces 31 and 31 formed on both sides in the axial direction of the two rolling surfaces 30. Of these, the second rolling surface 30 has a cylindrical surface shape (a cross-sectional linear shape) in which the outer diameter does not change in the axial direction from the axially opposite end portions to the axially opposite end edges. The portion (the portion between the cylindrical surface-like portions) is formed in a semicircular arc shape whose outer diameter increases toward the center in the axial direction. The molding roll 24 has the second rolling surface 30 opposed to the first rolling surface 27 of the mandrel 23 with its central axis parallel to the central axis of the mandrel 23. Such a forming roll 24 can be displaced in the horizontal direction (the left-right direction in FIGS. 9 and 10) while rotating (moves to and from the mandrel 23).

又、前記サポートロール25は、軸方向に関して所定の間隔を設けて配置された1対のローラ32、32を備えている。この様なサポートロール25は、前記マンドレル23の中心軸に関して前記成形ロール24と反対側に、その中心軸がこのマンドレル23の中心軸と平行な状態に設けられている。この状態で、前記両ローラ32、32の外周面の一部と、前記両マンドレル側規制面28、28とが対向している。尚、前記成形ロール24の回転軸と、前記サポートロール25の回転軸とは、同期機構33により連結されている。従って、これら成形ロール24とサポートロール25とは、電動モータ34の回転運動に基づいて、同期して回転する事ができる。   The support roll 25 includes a pair of rollers 32 and 32 arranged at a predetermined interval in the axial direction. Such a support roll 25 is provided on the opposite side of the forming roll 24 with respect to the central axis of the mandrel 23, and the central axis thereof is parallel to the central axis of the mandrel 23. In this state, a part of the outer peripheral surface of the rollers 32, 32 and the mandrel side regulating surfaces 28, 28 face each other. The rotating shaft of the forming roll 24 and the rotating shaft of the support roll 25 are connected by a synchronization mechanism 33. Therefore, the forming roll 24 and the support roll 25 can rotate synchronously based on the rotational motion of the electric motor 34.

次に、上述の様な構成を有するリング状部材の製造装置21により、前記金属素材26に圧延転造加工を施して前記リング状部材22を造る手順に就いて、図10を参照しつつ説明する。
先ず、図10(A)に示す様に、前記金属素材26の内径側に前記マンドレル23を挿通した状態で、この金属素材26の円周方向一部を、このマンドレル23の第一転造面27と前記成形ロール24の第二転造面30との間に配置する。この状態で前記サポートロール25を構成する両ローラ32、32の外周面の円周方向一部を、前記マンドレル23の両マンドレル側規制面28、28に近接対向させておく。
Next, a procedure for producing the ring-shaped member 22 by rolling and rolling the metal material 26 using the ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus 21 having the above-described configuration will be described with reference to FIG. To do.
First, as shown in FIG. 10A, in a state where the mandrel 23 is inserted into the inner diameter side of the metal material 26, a part of the metal material 26 in the circumferential direction is used as the first rolling surface of the mandrel 23. 27 and the second rolling surface 30 of the forming roll 24. In this state, a part in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surfaces of the rollers 32, 32 constituting the support roll 25 is made to face the mandrel-side regulating surfaces 28, 28 of the mandrel 23 close to each other.

次いで、前記電動モータ34の回転運動に基づいて、前記成形ロール24と前記サポートロール25とを回転駆動した状態で、この成形ロール24を、前記マンドレル23に近付く方向(図9、10の左側)に変位させる。すると、この成形ロール24が、前記金属素材26に当接して、この金属素材26が連れ回される。
次いで、この状態から更に、前記成形ロール24を、前記マンドレル23に近付く方向に変位させると、このマンドレル23が、前記金属素材26を介して押圧されて、前記サポートロール25の両ローラ32、32に当接する。すると、これら両ローラ32、32の回転に伴い、前記マンドレル23が連れ回される。尚、この状態で、前記サポートロール25は、このマンドレル23が、図9、10の左側に変位しない様にサポートしている。
Next, in a state in which the forming roll 24 and the support roll 25 are rotationally driven based on the rotational motion of the electric motor 34, the forming roll 24 approaches the mandrel 23 (left side in FIGS. 9 and 10). Displace to. Then, the forming roll 24 comes into contact with the metal material 26 and the metal material 26 is rotated.
Next, when the forming roll 24 is further displaced in the direction approaching the mandrel 23 from this state, the mandrel 23 is pressed through the metal material 26, and both rollers 32, 32 of the support roll 25. Abut. Then, as the rollers 32 and 32 rotate, the mandrel 23 is rotated. In this state, the support roll 25 supports the mandrel 23 so as not to be displaced to the left in FIGS.

上述の状態から更に、前記成形ロール24を、前記マンドレル23に近付く方向に変位させると、この成形ロール24と、前記サポートロール25にサポートされた前記マンドレル23との間で、前記金属素材26の円周方向一部が押圧されて、この金属素材26の内周面にこのマンドレル23の第一転造面27が、同じく外周面に前記成形ロール24の第二転造面30が、それぞれ転造される。又、これに伴い、前記金属素材26の外径寸法及び軸方向寸法が大きくなる。尚、前記成形ロール24は、前記両成形ロール側規制面31、31が、前記マンドレル23の両マンドレル側規制面28、28に当接すると、このマンドレル23に向かう方向の変位が停止されて、圧延転造加工が終了する。そして、この様にして造られたリング状部材22に対して、切削加工及び研削加工等の仕上げ加工を施す事により、前記内輪3とする。   When the forming roll 24 is further displaced in the direction approaching the mandrel 23 from the above-described state, the metal material 26 is placed between the forming roll 24 and the mandrel 23 supported by the support roll 25. A part of the circumferential direction is pressed, and the first rolling surface 27 of the mandrel 23 is rolled on the inner circumferential surface of the metal material 26, and the second rolling surface 30 of the forming roll 24 is rolled on the outer circumferential surface. Built. As a result, the outer diameter and the axial dimension of the metal material 26 increase. In addition, when the molding roll side regulating surfaces 31 and 31 are in contact with the mandrel side regulating surfaces 28 and 28 of the mandrel 23, the displacement in the direction toward the mandrel 23 is stopped. The rolling and rolling process ends. Then, the inner ring 3 is formed by subjecting the ring-shaped member 22 thus manufactured to finishing such as cutting and grinding.

上述の様な製造方法によれば、前記金属素材26に鍛造加工を施して前記リング状部材22を造る場合と比べて、加工装置の小型化を図る事ができると共に、後の仕上げ加工(切削、旋削加工)の際の取り代を小さくできる為、設備コスト及び材料コストの低減を図る事ができる。但し、上述の製造方法の場合、前記リング状部材22の外径寸法(加工中の金属素材の外周面)を規制する手段が設けられていない。この為、前記金属素材26の寸法形状のばらつき、又は、転造装置へのこの金属素材26の組み付け状態のばらつき等によって、前記リング状部材22の形状(外径寸法及び軸方向寸法)にばらつきが生じる可能性がある。この様なばらつきが生じると、仕上げ加工(切削加工及び研削加工)が面倒になり、製造コストが嵩んでしまう可能性がある。   According to the manufacturing method as described above, it is possible to reduce the size of the processing apparatus as compared with the case where the ring-shaped member 22 is manufactured by forging the metal material 26, and the subsequent finishing process (cutting) The machining allowance for turning) can be reduced, so that the equipment cost and material cost can be reduced. However, in the case of the manufacturing method described above, there is no means for regulating the outer diameter of the ring-shaped member 22 (the outer peripheral surface of the metal material being processed). For this reason, the shape (outer diameter size and axial size) of the ring-shaped member 22 varies due to variations in the size and shape of the metal material 26 or variations in the assembly state of the metal material 26 to the rolling device. May occur. When such a variation occurs, finishing (cutting and grinding) becomes troublesome and the manufacturing cost may increase.

一方、特許文献3には、マンドレルと、転造加工後のリング状部材の外径寸法及び軸方向寸法を規制する為の拘束型とを備えた金型を用いた圧延転造加工に関する技術が記載されている。この技術によれば、リング状部材の形状にばらつきが生じる事の防止を図れる。但し、使用する金属素材の体積が所定値よりも大きい場合には、成形ロールによる押圧が終了するよりも早い段階で、前記金型の成形空間が前記金属素材により満たされて、この金属素材の内部応力が高くなり過ぎてしまい、前記マンドレル又は前記拘束型に傷が生じる可能性がある。又、これら両部材が損傷しない場合でも、前記金型の成形空間内で行き場のない金属素材が歪んでしまい、加工後のリング状部材の真円度が悪化してしまう可能性がある。尚、この様な問題は、金型の温度変化に基づく、前記金属素材の体積変化によっても生じる可能性がある。   On the other hand, Patent Document 3 discloses a technique related to rolling and rolling using a die having a mandrel and a constraining die for regulating the outer diameter and axial dimensions of the ring-shaped member after rolling. Have been described. According to this technique, it is possible to prevent variation in the shape of the ring-shaped member. However, when the volume of the metal material to be used is larger than the predetermined value, the molding space of the mold is filled with the metal material at an earlier stage than the end of pressing by the molding roll, and the metal material Internal stress becomes too high, and the mandrel or the constraining mold may be damaged. Further, even when these two members are not damaged, the metal material having no destination in the molding space of the mold may be distorted, and the roundness of the ring-shaped member after processing may be deteriorated. Such a problem may also be caused by a volume change of the metal material based on a temperature change of the mold.

本発明は、上述の様な事情に鑑みて、マンドレル及び外径拘束型に損傷が生じる事を防止すると共に、金属素材の体積のばらつきに拘わらず、加工後のリング状部材の形状の精度の向上を図れるリング状部材の製造方法及び製造装置を実現するものである。   In view of the circumstances as described above, the present invention prevents the mandrel and the outer diameter constraining type from being damaged, and the accuracy of the shape of the ring-shaped member after processing regardless of variations in the volume of the metal material.

特に本発明のリング状部材の製造方法に於いては、前記可動環状部材が、前記金属素材から所定の径方向の押圧力を受けた場合に、この可動環状部材をこの押圧力の方向に変位させる事により、前記金属素材の余肉を、前記成形空間のうちこの可動環状部材の変位により拡張した部分に逃がす様にする。   Particularly in the method for manufacturing a ring-shaped member of the present invention, when the movable annular member receives a pressing force in a predetermined radial direction from the metal material, the movable annular member is displaced in the direction of the pressing force. By doing so, the surplus of the metal material is allowed to escape to a portion of the molding space that is expanded by the displacement of the movable annular member.

上述した様な構成を有する本発明によれば、マンドレル及び外径拘束型に損傷が生じる事を防止すると共に、金属素材の体積のばらつきに拘わらず、加工後のリング状部材の形状の精度の向上を図れる。
即ち、本発明の場合、前記金属素材の内周面と対向する部分に、使用時にこの金属素材から所定の大きさの径方向の押圧力を受けた場合に、この押圧力の方向に変位可能な状態で支持された可動環状部材を設けている。この為、使用時に、成形空間内の金属素材の内部応力が高くなった場合でも、前記可動環状部材が前記押圧力の方向に変位して、成形空間のうちの当該変位に伴い拡張した部分に前記金属素材の余肉を逃がす事ができる。この結果、成形空間内での前記金属素材の内部応力が低くなり、前記マンドレルに加わる応力を小さくできる。
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, it is possible to prevent the mandrel and the outer diameter constraining type from being damaged, and to improve the accuracy of the shape of the ring-shaped member after processing regardless of variations in the volume of the metal material. Improvements can be made.
That is, in the case of the present invention, when a radial pressing force of a predetermined size is received from the metal material at a portion facing the inner peripheral surface of the metal material, it can be displaced in the direction of the pressing force. A movable annular member that is supported in such a state is provided. For this reason, even when the internal stress of the metal material in the molding space becomes high during use, the movable annular member is displaced in the direction of the pressing force, and the portion of the molding space expanded with the displacement. The excess metal material can be escaped. As a result, the internal stress of the metal material in the forming space is reduced, and the stress applied to the mandrel can be reduced.

又、上述した様に、加工中の金属素材の内部応力を解放する事ができる為、成形空間内で金属素材が歪む事を防止できる。この結果、加工後のリング状部材の真円度が悪化する事を防止できる。
尚、上述した様に、加工中に、成形空間内の金属素材の内部応力が高くなる場合とは、金属素材の体積のばらつきに基づいて、この金属素材の体積が所定の大きさ(目標とするリング状部材の体積)よりも大きい場合が考えられる。本発明は、この様な場合に、前記金属素材の内部応力を低くして、前記マンドレル及び外径拘束型に加わる応力を小さくすると共に、成形空間内で金属素材が歪む事を防止する事ができる。
Further, as described above, since the internal stress of the metal material being processed can be released, the metal material can be prevented from being distorted in the forming space. As a result, it is possible to prevent the roundness of the ring-shaped member after processing from deteriorating.
As described above, when the internal stress of the metal material in the forming space becomes high during processing, the volume of the metal material has a predetermined size (target and target) based on the variation in the volume of the metal material. It is conceivable that the volume is larger than the volume of the ring-shaped member. In such a case, the present invention reduces the internal stress of the metal material, reduces the stress applied to the mandrel and the outer diameter restraining mold, and prevents the metal material from being distorted in the forming space. it can.

Since the configuration and operation of the other parts are the same as those of the conventional manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the illustration and description of the equivalent parts are omitted or simplified. The explanation will be focused on. This example shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for producing a ring-shaped member for an outer ring by subjecting the metal material 26 to rolling and rolling. However, the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of the ring-shaped member of the present invention can also be applied to the ring-shaped member for the inner ring as in the conventional structure shown in FIGS.

A screw hole 41a is formed at one axial end portion (the upper end portion in FIG. 1) of the center hole 40a. On the other hand, a fitting hole 42a having a larger diameter than that of the intermediate portion in the axial direction is formed at the other axial end portion (the lower end portion in FIG. 1) of the center hole 40a. Further, of the outer peripheral surface of the one support shaft portion 38a, a small-diameter cylindrical portion 43a having a smaller diameter than the other half portion in the axial direction and having an outer diameter that does not change in the axial direction is formed in one half portion in the axial direction.

一方、前記マンドレル23aを構成する他方の支持軸部38bは、小径円筒部43bに外嵌した複列のラジアル円すいころ軸受53bを介して、固定支持部54bに回転可能な状態で支持されている。この様な固定支持部54bは、加工中以外は、前記金属素材26の着脱の為に、例えば軸方向に退避させる事ができる。又、前記ラジアル円すいころ軸受53bを構成する、内輪の軸方向一端面は、前記小径円筒部43bの軸方向一端縁と前記マンドレル側規制面44bの軸方向他端縁とを連続する段部55bに当接している。一方、前記内輪の軸方向他端面は、前記他方の支持軸部38bの軸方向他端面に固定された抑え部材56bの軸方向一端面に当接している。この様にして、前記ラジアル円すいころ軸受53bの軸方向に関する位置決めを図っている。尚、前記抑え部材56bは、円柱状であり、中心部に形成された段付き形状の通孔57bを挿通したボルト58bを、前記他方の支持軸部38bのねじ孔41bに螺合する事により、この他方の支持軸部38bの軸方向他端部に組み付けられている。上述した様に、この他方の支持軸部38bを、前記ラジアル円すいころ軸受53bを介して前記固定支持部54bに支持する事により、前記他方の支持軸部38bの軸方向他端部(転造軸部39側の端部)の振れを小さくする事ができる。   On the other hand, the other support shaft portion 38b constituting the mandrel 23a is rotatably supported by the fixed support portion 54b via a double-row radial tapered roller bearing 53b externally fitted to the small diameter cylindrical portion 43b. . Such a fixed support portion 54b can be retracted in the axial direction, for example, in order to attach and detach the metal material 26 except during processing. Further, one end surface in the axial direction of the inner ring constituting the radial tapered roller bearing 53b is a stepped portion 55b in which the one end edge in the axial direction of the small diameter cylindrical portion 43b and the other end edge in the axial direction of the mandrel side regulating surface 44b are continuous. Abut. On the other hand, the other axial end surface of the inner ring is in contact with one axial end surface of the holding member 56b fixed to the other axial end surface of the other support shaft portion 38b.

The holding member 56b has a columnar shape, and a bolt 58b inserted through a stepped through hole 57b formed in the center is screwed into the screw hole 41b of the other support shaft 38b. The other support shaft portion 38b is assembled to the other axial end portion. As described above, by supporting the other support shaft portion 38b on the fixed support portion 54b via the radial tapered roller bearing 53b, the other end portion in the axial direction of the other support shaft portion 38b (rolling). The shake of the end portion on the shaft 39 side can be reduced.

又、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bは、それぞれが金属製(例えば、ダイス鋼、ハイス鋼、超硬合金等)の円輪状部材である。この様な両可動環状部材36a、36bは、同一の形状であり、その内周面は、それぞれ軸方向に関して内径寸法が変化しない円筒面状である。又、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの内径寸法d36は、前記固定用軸部材45の外径寸法D45よりも大きい(d36>D45)。一方、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面は、それぞれ軸方向に関して外径寸法が変化しない円筒面状である。この様な両可動環状部材36a、36bのうちの一方の可動環状部材36aは、前記軌道形成部材46と前記一方の係止溝形成部材47aとの間に配置されている。具体的には、前記一方の可動環状部材36aの軸方向一端面のうちの後述する成形ロール24a側の円周方向一部を、前記一方の係止溝形成部材47aの軸方向他端面に当接させると共に、前記一方の可動環状部材36aの軸方向他端面のうちの後述する成形ロール24a側の円周方向一部を、前記軌道形成部材46の軸方向一端面に当接させた状態で配置されている。又、この状態で、前記一方の可動環状部材36aの外周面を、前記金属素材26の内周面のうち、加工後に外輪軌道が形成される部分と、一方のシール係止溝が形成される部分との間部分に対向させている。尚、前記金属素材26の内周面のうち、前記一方の可動環状部材36aの外周面が対向した部分は、加工後のリング状部材35の内周面のうちで最も内径側に位置する部分である。 Each of the movable annular members 36a and 36b is an annular member made of metal (for example, die steel, high-speed steel, cemented carbide, etc.). Both the movable annular members 36a and 36b have the same shape, and the inner peripheral surfaces thereof are cylindrical surfaces whose inner diameter dimensions do not change in the axial direction. Further, the inner diameter d 36 of both the movable annular members 36a and 36b is larger than the outer diameter D 45 of the fixing shaft member 45 (d 36 > D 45 ). On the other hand, the outer peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36a and 36b are cylindrical surfaces whose outer diameters do not change in the axial direction. One of the movable annular members 36a and 36b is disposed between the track forming member 46 and the one locking groove forming member 47a. Specifically, one end surface in the circumferential direction on the side of the forming roll 24a to be described later of one end surface in the axial direction of the one movable annular member 36a is contacted with the other end surface in the axial direction of the one locking groove forming member 47a. In the state in which a part of the circumferential direction on the side of the forming roll 24a, which will be described later, of the other axial end surface of the one movable annular member 36a is in contact with the axial end surface of the track forming member 46. Has been placed. In this state, the outer peripheral surface of the one movable annular member 36a is formed with a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26 where an outer ring raceway is formed and one seal locking groove. It is made to oppose the part between the parts. Of the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26, the portion facing the outer peripheral surface of the one movable annular member 36a is the portion located on the innermost diameter side of the inner peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 35 after processing. It is.

又、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bのうちの他方の可動環状部材36bは、前記軌道形成部材46と前記他方の係止溝形成部材47bとの間に配置されている。具体的には、前記他方の可動環状部材36bの軸方向他端面のうちの後述する成形ロール24a側の円周方向一部を、前記他方の係止溝形成部材47bの軸方向一端面に当接させると共に、前記他方の可動環状部材36bの軸方向一端面のうちの後述する成形ロール24a側の円周方向一部を、前記軌道形成部材46の軸方向他端面に当接させた状態で配置されている。又、この状態で、前記一方の可動環状部材36aの外周面を、前記金属素材26の内周面のうち、加工後に外輪軌道が形成される部分と、他方のシール係止溝が形成される部分との間部分に対向させている。尚、前記金属素材26の内周面のうち、前記一方の可動環状部材36aの外周面が対向した部分は、前記一方の可動環状部材36aが対向した部分と同様に、加工後のリング状部材35の内周面のうちで最も内径側に位置する部分である。   The other movable annular member 36b of the movable annular members 36a, 36b is disposed between the track forming member 46 and the other locking groove forming member 47b. Specifically, a part of the other end surface in the axial direction of the other movable annular member 36b in the circumferential direction on the side of the forming roll 24a described later is brought into contact with one end surface in the axial direction of the other locking groove forming member 47b. In a state in which a part in the circumferential direction on the side of the forming roll 24a, which will be described later, of one axial end surface of the other movable annular member 36b is in contact with the other axial end surface of the track forming member 46. Has been placed. In this state, the outer peripheral surface of the one movable annular member 36a is formed with a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26 where the outer ring raceway is formed after processing and the other seal locking groove. It is made to oppose the part between the parts. Of the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26, the portion facing the outer peripheral surface of the one movable annular member 36a is a ring-shaped member after processing, similar to the portion facing the one movable annular member 36a. It is a part located in the innermost diameter side among 35 inner peripheral surfaces.

又、上述した様な構成を有する両可動環状部材36a、36bと、例えばハウジング等の固定部分に支持固定された固定支持部(図示省略)との間に、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bを径方向に関して弾性的に支持する為の弾性支持手段52が設けられている。この様な弾性支持手段52は、例えばコイルバネ等の弾性部材により構成されている。   In addition, the movable annular members 36a, 36b are arranged between the movable annular members 36a, 36b having the above-described configuration and a fixed support portion (not shown) supported and fixed to a fixed portion such as a housing, for example. Elastic support means 52 for elastically supporting the radial direction is provided. Such an elastic support means 52 is constituted by an elastic member such as a coil spring, for example.

本例の場合、図3(a)に示す加工開始前の状態(リング状部材の製造装置21aに金属素材26を組み付けた状態)では、前記弾性支持手段52は、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bを、径方向に関して、後述する成形ロール24aに向かう方向(図3の右方向)に付勢していない(弾性力を付与していない)。又、この様な加工開始前の状態で、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの内周面のうちの前記成形ロール24a側部分と、前記固定用軸部材45の外周面との間には、径方向に関する隙間が存在している。又、前記弾性支持手段52は、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bに対して、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向の所定の大きさの押圧力が加わると、自身が弾性変形する事により、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bが前記押圧力の方向(成形ロール24aから離れる方向)に変位する事を許容する。更に、図3(b)に示す加工終了時の状態でも、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの内周面のうちの前記成形ロール24a側部分と、前記固定用軸部材45の外周面との間には、径方向に関する隙間が存在する様に、各部の寸法を規制している。   In the case of this example, in the state before the machining start shown in FIG. 3A (the state in which the metal material 26 is assembled to the ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus 21a), the elastic support means 52 includes the movable annular members 36a, 36b is not urged in the radial direction (the right direction in FIG. 3) toward the forming roll 24a to be described later (the elastic force is not applied). Also, in such a state before the start of processing, between the molding roll 24a side portion of the inner peripheral surfaces of the movable annular members 36a, 36b and the outer peripheral surface of the fixing shaft member 45, There is a gap in the radial direction. The elastic support means 52 is elastically deformed when a pressing force of a predetermined size in a direction away from the forming roll 24a is applied to the movable annular members 36a and 36b. The movable annular members 36a and 36b are allowed to be displaced in the direction of the pressing force (direction away from the forming roll 24a). Further, even in the state at the end of processing shown in FIG. 3B, the molding roll 24 a side portion of the inner peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36 a and 36 b and the outer peripheral surface of the fixing shaft member 45. The dimension of each part is regulated so that there is a gap in the radial direction between them.

尚、上述の様な弾性支持手段52の弾性力は、加工条件との関係で適宜決定する。又、本例の場合、この弾性支持手段52を模式的に図示しているが、この弾性支持手段52は、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bを、径方向に関して弾性的に支持する事ができれば、その構造は単一の部材により構成されるものに限らず、複数の部材を組み合わせて構成したものであっても良い。又、前記弾性支持手段52は、機械式、油圧式、ガス圧式、又は空圧式等の各種構造を採用する事ができる。   The elastic force of the elastic support means 52 as described above is appropriately determined in relation to the processing conditions. In this example, the elastic support means 52 is schematically shown. However, if the elastic support means 52 can elastically support the movable annular members 36a and 36b in the radial direction. The structure is not limited to a single member but may be a combination of a plurality of members. The elastic support means 52 may employ various structures such as a mechanical type, a hydraulic type, a gas pressure type, and a pneumatic type.

前記外径拘束型37は、金属製(例えば、ダイス鋼、ハイス鋼、超硬合金等)の円環状部材であり、外周面が、軸方向に関して外径が変化しない円筒面状である。一方、前記外径拘束型37の内周面には、前記金属素材26の外周面に転造加工を施す為の第二転造面59が形成されている。本例の場合、この第二転造面59は、軸方向に関して内径が変化しない円筒面状としている。又、前記外径拘束型37は、加工後のリング状部材35の外径寸法に等しい内径寸法を有している。この様な外径拘束型37は、内径側に前記マンドレル23aの転造軸部39を挿通した状態で、前記第二転造面59を前記第一転造面51に対向させている。尚、この状態で、前記外径拘束型37の中心軸は、前記マンドレル23aの中心軸と平行である。   The outer diameter restricting die 37 is an annular member made of metal (for example, die steel, high speed steel, cemented carbide, etc.), and the outer peripheral surface has a cylindrical surface shape whose outer diameter does not change in the axial direction. On the other hand, a second rolling surface 59 for rolling the outer peripheral surface of the metal material 26 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer diameter restricting die 37. In the case of this example, the second rolling surface 59 has a cylindrical surface shape whose inner diameter does not change in the axial direction. The outer diameter restricting die 37 has an inner diameter dimension equal to the outer diameter dimension of the ring-shaped member 35 after processing. Such an outer diameter restricting die 37 has the second rolling surface 59 opposed to the first rolling surface 51 in a state where the rolling shaft portion 39 of the mandrel 23a is inserted on the inner diameter side. In this state, the central axis of the outer diameter restricting die 37 is parallel to the central axis of the mandrel 23a.

又、前記成形ロール24aは、1個の金属製のローラ60と、このローラ60の中心孔に挿通された回転軸61とから成り、この回転軸61(ローラ60の中心軸)が前記マンドレル23a及び前記外径拘束型37の中心軸と平行となる状態で、この外径拘束型37の外径側に配置されている。この様な成形ロール24aは、前述した図9、10に示した従来構造と同様に、電動モータ34(図9参照)の回転により回転駆動された状態で、図示しない油圧シリンダ等のアクチュエータにより、前記外径拘束型37に対する遠近動{水平方向(図1の左右方向)の変位}を可能としている。   The forming roll 24a includes a single metal roller 60 and a rotating shaft 61 inserted through the center hole of the roller 60. The rotating shaft 61 (center axis of the roller 60) is the mandrel 23a. The outer diameter restraining die 37 is arranged on the outer diameter side in a state parallel to the central axis of the outer diameter restraining die 37. Like the conventional structure shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 described above, such a forming roll 24a is rotated by the rotation of the electric motor 34 (see FIG. 9), and by an actuator such as a hydraulic cylinder (not shown), Perspective movement (displacement in the horizontal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1)) with respect to the outer diameter restricting die 37 is enabled.

又、前記サポートロール25aは、前述した図9、10に示した従来構造と同様に、1対の金属製のローラ62a、62bと、これら両ローラ62a、62bの中心孔に挿通された回転軸63とから成る。この様なサポートロール25aは、この回転軸63(両ローラ62a、62bの中心軸)が前記マンドレル23a、前記外径拘束型37、及び前記成形ロール24aの中心軸と平行な状態で、前記マンドレル23aの中心軸に関して、この成形ロール24aと反対側に配置されている。又、前記サポートロール25aは、前記電動モータ34の回転に基づいて、前記成形ロール24aと同期して回転駆動される。この様なサポートロール25aは、加工中に、前記両ローラ62a、62bの外周面の一部を、それぞれ前記マンドレル23aのマンドレル側規制面44a、44bに当接させる事により、このマンドレル23aの前記サポートロール25a側への変位を規制する為のものである。尚、本例の場合、このサポートロール25aは、加工中に、水平方向に変位しない様に規制されている。従って、このサポートロール25aが、前記マンドレル23aを前記成形ロール24a側に押圧する事はない。但し、加工中に、前記サポートロール25aを、この成形ロール24a側に変位する様に構成して、前記マンドレル23aをこの成形ロール24a側に押圧する事もできる。この様な構成を採用した場合には、上述した様にこの成形ロール24aが水平方向に変位する構成としても良いし、水平方向に変位しない構成とする事もできる。   The support roll 25a has a pair of metal rollers 62a and 62b and a rotating shaft inserted through the center holes of the rollers 62a and 62b, as in the conventional structure shown in FIGS. 63. Such a support roll 25a has the rotating shaft 63 (the central axis of both rollers 62a and 62b) in parallel with the central axes of the mandrel 23a, the outer diameter restricting die 37, and the forming roll 24a. With respect to the central axis of 23a, it is arrange | positioned on the opposite side to this forming roll 24a. The support roll 25a is driven to rotate in synchronization with the forming roll 24a based on the rotation of the electric motor 34. Such a support roll 25a makes a part of the outer peripheral surfaces of the rollers 62a and 62b abut on the mandrel-side regulating surfaces 44a and 44b of the mandrel 23a, respectively, during processing. This is for restricting displacement toward the support roll 25a. In the case of this example, the support roll 25a is regulated so as not to be displaced in the horizontal direction during processing. Accordingly, the support roll 25a does not press the mandrel 23a toward the forming roll 24a. However, during processing, the support roll 25a may be configured to be displaced toward the forming roll 24a, and the mandrel 23a may be pressed toward the forming roll 24a. When such a configuration is adopted, the forming roll 24a may be displaced in the horizontal direction as described above, or may be configured not to be displaced in the horizontal direction.

以下、上述した様な構成を有するリング状部材の製造装置21aを使用して、前記金属素材26に圧延転造加工を施して、前記リング状部材35を造る手順に就いて説明する。
先ず、図3(a)に示す様に、前記金属素材26を、内径側に前記マンドレル23aを挿通した状態で、この金属素材26の円周方向一部を、このマンドレル23aの第一転造面51と、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面と、前記外径拘束型37の第二転造面59と、前記両支持軸部38a、38bの前記転造軸部39側の端面との間に形成された成形空間内に配置する。尚、この状態では、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面と、前記金属素材26の内周面との間には所定の隙間が存在している。
Hereinafter, a procedure for manufacturing the ring-shaped member 35 by rolling and rolling the metal material 26 using the ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus 21a having the above-described configuration will be described.
First, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), with the metal material 26 inserted through the mandrel 23a on the inner diameter side, a part of the metal material 26 in the circumferential direction is subjected to the first rolling of the mandrel 23a. A surface 51, outer peripheral surfaces of the movable annular members 36a and 36b, a second rolling surface 59 of the outer diameter restricting die 37, and end surfaces of the supporting shaft portions 38a and 38b on the rolling shaft portion 39 side. It arrange | positions in the shaping | molding space formed between. In this state, a predetermined gap exists between the outer peripheral surfaces of the movable annular members 36 a and 36 b and the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26.

この状態で、前記サポートロール25aを回転駆動すると共に、このサポートロール25aの両ローラ62a、62bの外周面の一部を、前記マンドレル23aの各マンドレル側規制面44a、44bに近接対向させておく。
次いで、前記成形ロール24aを、前記サポートロール25aと同期して回転駆動しながら、前記外径拘束型37に近付く様に水平方向に変位させて、前記成形ロール24aのローラ60の外周面を、前記外径拘束型37の外周面に当接させる。すると、前記成形ロール24aの回転に伴い、この外径拘束型37が連れ回る。
In this state, the support roll 25a is rotationally driven, and a part of the outer peripheral surfaces of the rollers 62a and 62b of the support roll 25a are made to face each mandrel-side regulating surfaces 44a and 44b of the mandrel 23a. .
Next, while rotating the forming roll 24a in synchronization with the support roll 25a, the outer peripheral surface of the roller 60 of the forming roll 24a is displaced in the horizontal direction so as to approach the outer diameter restricting die 37. The outer diameter restraining die 37 is brought into contact with the outer peripheral surface. Then, with the rotation of the forming roll 24a, the outer diameter restricting die 37 is rotated.

この状態から更に、前記成形ロール24aを前記外径拘束型37に向けて変位(押圧)させると、この外径拘束型37及び前記金属素材26を介して前記マンドレル23aが図1の左側に向けて押圧されて、前記サポートロール25aの両ローラ62a、62bの外周面が、前記マンドレル23aの両マンドレル側規制面44a、44bに強く当接する。すると、前記サポートロール25aの両ローラ62a、62bの回転に伴い、前記マンドレル23aが連れ回る。又、この状態では、前記外径拘束型37とこのマンドレル23aとが、同期して回転しており、これら両部材37、23aの回転に伴い、前記金属素材26が回転する。   When the forming roll 24a is further displaced (pressed) toward the outer diameter restricting die 37 from this state, the mandrel 23a is directed toward the left side in FIG. 1 through the outer diameter restricting die 37 and the metal material 26. The outer peripheral surfaces of both rollers 62a and 62b of the support roll 25a strongly abut against the mandrel side regulating surfaces 44a and 44b of the mandrel 23a. Then, the mandrel 23a is rotated with the rotation of the rollers 62a and 62b of the support roll 25a. Further, in this state, the outer diameter restricting die 37 and the mandrel 23a are rotated synchronously, and the metal material 26 is rotated with the rotation of both the members 37, 23a.

この状態から更に、前記成形ロール24aを前記外径拘束型37に向けて変位(押圧)させると、先ず、前記金属素材26の軸方向両端面が、前記両支持軸部38a、38bの前記転造軸部39側の端面に当接するまで、前記金属素材26の軸方向寸法が大きくなる様に塑性変形する。そして、この金属素材26の軸方向両端面が、前記両支持軸部38a、38bの前記転造軸部39側の端面に当接すると、前記金属素材26の外周面が、前記外径拘束型37の内周面に全周に亙り当接するまで、外径が大きくなる様に塑性変形する。この状態では、前記成形空間が、前記金属素材26により満たされた状態となる。この時点で、この金属素材26の内周面が、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面とも当接する。   When the forming roll 24a is further displaced (pressed) toward the outer diameter restraining die 37 from this state, first, both end surfaces in the axial direction of the metal material 26 are moved to the rolling shafts of the support shaft portions 38a and 38b. The metal material 26 is plastically deformed so that the axial dimension of the metal material 26 is increased until it abuts against the end surface on the shaft forming portion 39 side. Then, when both end surfaces in the axial direction of the metal material 26 come into contact with the end surfaces of the support shaft portions 38a, 38b on the rolling shaft portion 39 side, the outer peripheral surface of the metal material 26 becomes the outer diameter restraining type. Until the entire inner surface of 37 is in contact with the entire circumference, it is plastically deformed so that its outer diameter increases. In this state, the forming space is filled with the metal material 26. At this point, the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26 also comes into contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36a and 36b.

この状態から更に、前記成形ロール24aを前記外径拘束型37に向けて変位(押圧)させると、前記金属素材26の内部応力が高まり、前記成形空間を構成する、周囲の部材(マンドレル23a、外径拘束型37、両可動環状部材36a、36b、及び両支持軸部38a、38b)を押圧する。そして、前記金属素材26の押圧力のうち、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面に加わる、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向の押圧力が、所定の値(弾性支持手段52の弾性力)を超えると、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bが、図3(b)に矢印αで示す様に、前記弾性支持手段52の弾性力に抗して、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向(図1〜3の左方向)に向けて変位する。この様にして、前記成形空間のうちの前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの変位により拡張した部分64、64{図3(b)に斜格子で示す部分}に、前記金属素材26の余肉を逃がす事ができる。尚、上述の圧延転造加工により得られるリング状部材35に、必要に応じて切削加工、研削加工等の仕上げ加工を施して外輪とする。   When the forming roll 24a is further displaced (pressed) toward the outer diameter constraining die 37 from this state, the internal stress of the metal material 26 is increased, and surrounding members (mandrel 23a, The outer diameter restricting die 37, both movable annular members 36a and 36b, and both support shaft portions 38a and 38b) are pressed. Of the pressing force of the metal material 26, the pressing force applied to the outer peripheral surfaces of the movable annular members 36a and 36b in the direction away from the forming roll 24a is a predetermined value (elastic force of the elastic support means 52). Is exceeded, the two movable annular members 36a and 36b move away from the forming roll 24a against the elastic force of the elastic support means 52 as shown by an arrow α in FIG. 3B (FIG. 1). (To the left of -3). In this way, in the forming space, portions 64 and 64 {parts indicated by diagonal grids in FIG. 3 (b)} expanded by displacement of the two movable annular members 36a and 36b} Can escape. The ring-shaped member 35 obtained by the rolling and rolling process described above is subjected to a finishing process such as a cutting process or a grinding process as necessary to obtain an outer ring.

上述した様に構成される本例のリング状部材の製造方法及び製造装置によれば、前記マンドレル23a及び前記外径拘束型37に損傷が生じる事を防止すると共に、加工後のリング状部材35の形状の精度の向上を図れる。
即ち、本例の場合、前記金属素材26の内周面と対向する状態で、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向の押圧力が加わった場合に、この押圧力の方向に変位可能に支持された、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bを設けている。この為、使用時に、成形空間内の前記金属素材26の内部応力が高くなった場合でも、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bが前記押圧力の方向に変位して、前記成形空間のうちの当該変位に伴い拡張した部分に前記金属素材の余肉を逃がす事ができる。この結果、成形空間内での前記金属素材26の内部応力が低くなり、前記マンドレル23aに加わる応力を小さくできる。
又、上述の様に、加工中の前記金属素材26の内部応力を解放する事ができる為、成形空間内でこの金属素材26が歪む事を防止できる。この結果、加工後のリング状部材35の真円度が悪化する事を防止できる。
According to the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus of the ring-shaped member of the present example configured as described above, the mandrel 23a and the outer diameter constraining die 37 are prevented from being damaged, and the processed ring-shaped member 35 is processed. The accuracy of the shape can be improved.
That is, in the case of this example, when a pressing force in a direction away from the forming roll 24a is applied in a state of facing the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26, the metal material 26 is supported so as to be displaceable in the direction of the pressing force. Both the movable annular members 36a and 36b are provided. For this reason, even when the internal stress of the metal material 26 in the molding space increases during use, both the movable annular members 36a, 36b are displaced in the direction of the pressing force, and the The surplus of the metal material can be escaped to the expanded portion with the displacement. As a result, the internal stress of the metal material 26 in the forming space is reduced, and the stress applied to the mandrel 23a can be reduced.
Further, as described above, since the internal stress of the metal material 26 being processed can be released, it is possible to prevent the metal material 26 from being distorted in the forming space. As a result, it is possible to prevent the roundness of the ring-shaped member 35 after processing from being deteriorated.

又、本例の場合、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面を、前記金属素材26の内周面のうち、加工後に最も内径側に位置する部分に対向させている。この為、当該部分に余肉が形成された場合でも、この余肉を取り除くための切削加工を容易に行う事ができる。又、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面が対向している部分は、前記リング状部材35の外輪軌道とシール係止溝との間部分であって、機能的に重要度が低い部分でもある。この為、要求される寸法精度が他の部分と比べて低い為、余肉を取り除く加工を省略する事ができるか、或いは施す場合でも簡単に済ます事ができる。
更に、本例の場合、加工の終盤で、金属素材26の外周面、軸方向両端面、及び内周面(両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面と対向した部分を除く)を、それぞれ対向する各部材(外径拘束型37の第二転造面59、両支持軸部38a、38b、マンドレル23aの第一転造面51)により拘束する事ができる。この為、加工後のリング状部材35のうち、拘束されていた部分には切削加工を施さなくて済むか、或いは施す場合でも僅かな加工で済む。この様に、本例の場合、切削加工の工程を短くしたり、切削加工を施す位置を限定して、生産効率の向上を図れる。尚、製品によっては、仕上げ加工を施す事なく、本例の製造方法により製造されたリング状部材35が、最終製品となる場合もある。
Further, in the case of this example, the outer peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36a and 36b are made to face the portion of the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26 that is located closest to the inner diameter side after processing. For this reason, even when a surplus is formed in the part, a cutting process for removing the surplus can be easily performed. Further, the portion where the outer peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36a and 36b are opposed is the portion between the outer ring raceway and the seal locking groove of the ring-shaped member 35, which is a functionally less important portion. But there is. For this reason, since the required dimensional accuracy is low compared with other parts, the process which removes surplus can be skipped, or even when it applies, it can be completed easily.
Further, in the case of this example, at the final stage of processing, the outer peripheral surface of the metal material 26, both end surfaces in the axial direction, and the inner peripheral surface (except for the portions facing the outer peripheral surfaces of both movable annular members 36a and 36b) are opposed to each other. It can restrain by each member (the 2nd rolling surface 59 of the outer diameter restraining type | mold 37, both support shaft parts 38a and 38b, and the 1st rolling surface 51 of the mandrel 23a). For this reason, the constrained portion of the processed ring-shaped member 35 does not need to be cut, or even if it is applied, a slight amount of processing is sufficient. Thus, in the case of this example, it is possible to improve the production efficiency by shortening the cutting process or limiting the position where the cutting process is performed. Depending on the product, the ring-shaped member 35 manufactured by the manufacturing method of this example may be a final product without finishing.

又、本例の場合、前記マンドレル23aを、それぞれ別体に設けた前記両支持軸部38a、38bと、前記転造軸部39とにより構成している。この為、この転造軸部39が損傷した場合に、この転造軸部39のみの交換で済む。この結果、修理コストを抑える事ができる。尚、本例の場合、前記転造軸部39を、前記固定用軸部材45と、前記軌道形成部材46と、前記両係止溝形成部材47a、47bとにより構成している為、これら各部材が損傷した場合には、損傷した部材毎の交換で済ませる事も可能である。
又、本例の様に、短い転造軸部39の軸方向両端部を、剛性の高い前記両支持軸部38a、38bにより支持する構成は、前記転造軸部39を支持する位置が、前記金属素材26に近くなる為、この金属素材26から加わる曲げ応力を低減する事ができる。この結果、前記マンドレル23aの耐久性の向上を図れる。
In the case of this example, the mandrel 23a is constituted by the support shaft portions 38a and 38b and the rolling shaft portion 39 provided separately. For this reason, when this rolling shaft part 39 is damaged, only this rolling shaft part 39 needs to be replaced. As a result, the repair cost can be reduced. In the case of this example, the rolling shaft portion 39 is constituted by the fixing shaft member 45, the track forming member 46, and both the locking groove forming members 47a and 47b. If a member is damaged, it is possible to replace the damaged member.
In addition, as in this example, the configuration in which both ends in the axial direction of the short rolling shaft portion 39 are supported by the both support shaft portions 38a and 38b having high rigidity, the position for supporting the rolling shaft portion 39 is as follows. Since it is close to the metal material 26, the bending stress applied from the metal material 26 can be reduced. As a result, the durability of the mandrel 23a can be improved.

又、本例の場合、上述した様な圧延転造加工により、前記リング状部材35の外周面、軸方向両端面、及び内周面(両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面と対向した部分を除く)を、同時に仕上げる事ができる。この為、前記リング状部材35の軸方向両端面から、外輪軌道及びシール係止溝までの軸方向距離の精度の向上を図れる。この結果、前記リング状部材35の軸方向端面を基準として行う仕上げ加工(研削加工)の前準備としての切削加工を不要にするか、或いは切削加工を行う場合でも簡単に済ませる事ができる。   In the case of this example, by the rolling and rolling process as described above, the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped member 35, both end surfaces in the axial direction, and the inner peripheral surface (portions facing the outer peripheral surfaces of both movable annular members 36a and 36b) Can be finished at the same time. For this reason, the accuracy of the axial distance from the both axial end surfaces of the ring-shaped member 35 to the outer ring raceway and the seal locking groove can be improved. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the need for a cutting process as a preparation for a finishing process (grinding process) performed on the basis of the axial end surface of the ring-shaped member 35, or to easily perform a cutting process.

[実施の形態の第2例]
本発明の実施の形態の第2例に就いて、図4、5により説明する。本例は、リング状部材の製造装置を構成する弾性支持手段52aの具体的構造を示すものである。尚、この弾性支持手段52a以外の構造は、前述した実施の形態の第1例と同様である。
本例のリング状部材の製造装置21bを構成する弾性支持手段52aは、前述した実施の形態の第1例と同様に両可動環状部材36a、36bを、径方向に関して弾性的に支持する為のものであり、マンドレル23aの中心軸に関して成形ロール24aと反対側に設けられている。
[Second Example of Embodiment]
A second example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This example shows the specific structure of the elastic support means 52a which comprises the manufacturing apparatus of a ring-shaped member. The structure other than the elastic support means 52a is the same as that of the first example of the embodiment described above.
The elastic support means 52a constituting the ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus 21b of this example is for elastically supporting both the movable annular members 36a and 36b with respect to the radial direction as in the first example of the embodiment described above. It is provided on the opposite side of the forming roll 24a with respect to the central axis of the mandrel 23a.

前記弾性支持手段52aは、弾性部材65と、伝達部材66とを備えている。
このうちの弾性部材65は、例えばコイルバネ等から成り、一端(成形ロール24aと反対側端部)を例えばハウジング等の固定部分に支持固定された固定支持部54cに支持されると共に、他端(成形ロール24a側端部)を前記伝達部材66に支持された状態で設けられている。尚、前記弾性部材65は、機械式のものに限らず、油圧式、ガス圧式、又は空圧式等の各種構造を採用する事ができる。
The elastic support means 52 a includes an elastic member 65 and a transmission member 66.
The elastic member 65 includes, for example, a coil spring and the like, and one end (end opposite to the forming roll 24a) is supported by a fixed support portion 54c supported and fixed to a fixed portion such as a housing, and the other end ( The forming roll 24 a side end portion) is provided in a state supported by the transmission member 66. The elastic member 65 is not limited to a mechanical type, and various structures such as a hydraulic type, a gas pressure type, and a pneumatic type can be adopted.

又、前記伝達部材66は、前記弾性部材65と両可動環状部材36a、36bとの間に設けられており、基部67と、1対の腕部68a、68bと、保持部材69とを備えている。
このうちの基部67は、直方体状であり、長手方向がマンドレルの中心軸に対して直交する方向となる様に配置されている。
又、前記両腕部68a、68bは、前記基部67の一側面(図4の手前側面)の前記成形ロール24a側端部のうち、前記マンドレル23aの軸方向に離隔した2箇所位置に、前記一側面から突出した状態で形成されている。
又、前記保持部材69は、部分円筒状であり、その内径が前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外径とほぼ等しい。又、前記保持部材69の軸方向寸法は、一方の可動環状部材36aの軸方向一側面(図4の上側面)と、他方の可動環状部材36bの軸方向他側面(図4の下側面)との軸方向に関する距離よりも大きい。この様な保持部材69は、その外周面を前記両腕部68a、68bに支持固定された状態で、その内周面を、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bの外周面のうちの前記成形ロール24aと反対側部分に当接させている。
The transmission member 66 is provided between the elastic member 65 and both the movable annular members 36a and 36b, and includes a base 67, a pair of arms 68a and 68b, and a holding member 69. Yes.
Of these, the base portion 67 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is arranged such that the longitudinal direction is a direction orthogonal to the central axis of the mandrel.
Further, the arms 68a and 68b are located at two positions separated from each other in the axial direction of the mandrel 23a on the side of the molding roll 24a on one side surface (front side surface in FIG. 4) of the base 67. It is formed in a state protruding from one side.
The holding member 69 has a partial cylindrical shape, and its inner diameter is substantially equal to the outer diameter of both the movable annular members 36a and 36b. The axial dimension of the holding member 69 is such that one movable annular member 36a has one axial side surface (the upper side surface in FIG. 4) and the other movable annular member 36b has the other axial side surface (the lower side surface in FIG. 4). Greater than the distance in the axial direction. Such a holding member 69 has its outer peripheral surface supported and fixed by the both arm portions 68a and 68b, and its inner peripheral surface is the forming roll of the outer peripheral surfaces of the both movable annular members 36a and 36b. It is made to contact | abut on the part on the opposite side to 24a.

以上の様な構成を有する弾性支持手段52aは、加工開始前の状態{図3(a)参照}では、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bを、径方向に関して、前記成形ロール24aに向かう方向に付勢していない(弾性力を付与していない)。そして、前記弾性支持手段52aは、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bに対して、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向の所定の大きさの押圧力が加わると、前記弾性部材65が弾性変形する事により、前記両可動環状部材36a、36bが前記押圧力の方向(成形ロール24aから離れる方向)に変位する事を許容する。この点に就いては、前述した実施の形態の第1例と同様である。その他の構成及び作用効果に就いても、上述した実施の形態の第1例の場合と同様である。   The elastic support means 52a having the above-described configuration is configured so that both the movable annular members 36a and 36b are in a direction toward the forming roll 24a with respect to the radial direction in a state before starting processing (see FIG. 3A). Not energized (no elasticity is applied). The elastic support means 52a is elastically deformed by the elastic member 65 when a predetermined pressing force in a direction away from the forming roll 24a is applied to the movable annular members 36a and 36b. The movable annular members 36a and 36b are allowed to be displaced in the direction of the pressing force (direction away from the forming roll 24a). This is the same as the first example of the embodiment described above. Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first example of the embodiment described above.

[実施の形態の第3例]
本発明の実施の形態の第3例に就いて、図6により説明する。本例のリング状部材の製造装置は、弾性支持手段52bとして、前述した実施の形態の第1例及び第2例と異なる構造を採用している。又、両可動環状部材36c、36dの構造も、前記実施の形態の第1例及び第2例の両可動環状部材36a、36bと異ならせている。
具体的には、本例の場合、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dの外径寸法を、軌道形成部材46及び両係止溝形成部材47a、47bの外径寸法よりも小さくしている。この様な可動環状部材36c、36dは、マンドレル23a、軌道形成部材46、及び両係止溝形成部材47a、47bと同心に配置されている。尚、この様な両可動環状部材36c、36dの軸方向に関する配置態様に関しては、前記実施の形態の第1例及び第2例と同様である。
[Third example of embodiment]
A third example of the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus of this example employs a structure different from the first example and the second example of the embodiment described above as the elastic support means 52b. Also, the structures of both movable annular members 36c, 36d are different from the both movable annular members 36a, 36b of the first and second examples of the above-described embodiment.
Specifically, in the case of this example, the outer diameters of both the movable annular members 36c, 36d are made smaller than the outer diameters of the track forming member 46 and the both locking groove forming members 47a, 47b. Such movable annular members 36c and 36d are disposed concentrically with the mandrel 23a, the track forming member 46, and the locking groove forming members 47a and 47b. The arrangement of the two movable annular members 36c and 36d in the axial direction is the same as in the first and second examples of the above embodiment.

又、本例の場合、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dの内周面と、固定用軸部材45の外周面との間に、それぞれ円環状の弾性部材70、70を設けている。この様な弾性部材70、70は、例えば、ウレタンゴム、ニトリルゴム(NBR)、フッ素ゴム等の様に伸縮性を有するものを使用する事ができる。この様な弾性部材70、70は、加工中にワークに供給される潤滑油に対する耐熱性及び耐薬品性、加工時の発熱に対する耐熱性、並びに、加工時に加わる荷重に対する機械的強度を考慮して適宜決定する。例えば、前記ウレタンゴムは、耐熱性及び耐油性に優れており、前記フッ素ゴムは、耐油性及び耐薬品性に優れている。又、前記ニトリルゴム(NBR)は安価であり、耐油性及び耐薬品性に優れている。   In the case of this example, annular elastic members 70 are provided between the inner peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36c and 36d and the outer peripheral surface of the fixing shaft member 45, respectively. As such elastic members 70, 70, for example, those having elasticity such as urethane rubber, nitrile rubber (NBR), fluorine rubber and the like can be used. Such elastic members 70 and 70 take into consideration the heat resistance and chemical resistance to the lubricating oil supplied to the workpiece during processing, the heat resistance against heat generated during processing, and the mechanical strength against the load applied during processing. Determine as appropriate. For example, the urethane rubber is excellent in heat resistance and oil resistance, and the fluororubber is excellent in oil resistance and chemical resistance. The nitrile rubber (NBR) is inexpensive and has excellent oil resistance and chemical resistance.

本例の場合、上述した様な状態で前記各弾性部材70、70を設ける事により、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dを、径方向に関して弾性的に支持している。即ち、前記各弾性部材70、70は、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dに対して、成形ロール24aから離れる方向の所定の大きさの押圧力が加わると、自身が弾性変形(収縮)する事により、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dが前記押圧力の方向(成形ロール24aから離れる方向)に変位する事を許容する。   In the case of this example, by providing the elastic members 70, 70 in the state as described above, both the movable annular members 36c, 36d are elastically supported in the radial direction. That is, the elastic members 70 and 70 are elastically deformed (contracted) when a predetermined pressing force in a direction away from the forming roll 24a is applied to the movable annular members 36c and 36d. Thus, the movable annular members 36c and 36d are allowed to be displaced in the direction of the pressing force (direction away from the forming roll 24a).

上述した様な構成を有する本例のリング状部材の製造装置を使用して、金属素材26{図3(a)参照}に圧延転造加工を施して、リング状部材35を造る手順に就いては、前述した実施の形態の第1例の場合とほぼ同様であるので、以下、簡単に説明する。
加工が進み、前記金属素材26の外周面が、外径拘束型37の内周面に全周に亙り当接するまで、外径が大きくなる様に塑性変形すると、成形空間が、前記金属素材26により満たされた状態となる。この時点で、この金属素材26の内周面が、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dの外周面とも当接する。
Using the ring-shaped member manufacturing apparatus of the present example having the above-described configuration, the metal material 26 {see FIG. 3 (a)} is subjected to rolling and rolling to produce a ring-shaped member 35. This is almost the same as in the case of the first example of the embodiment described above, and will be described briefly below.
When the processing progresses and plastic deformation is performed so that the outer diameter increases until the outer peripheral surface of the metal material 26 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer diameter constraining die 37 over the entire periphery, the forming space becomes the metal material 26. Is satisfied. At this time, the inner peripheral surface of the metal material 26 also comes into contact with the outer peripheral surfaces of both the movable annular members 36c and 36d.

この状態から更に、前記成形ロール24aを前記外径拘束型37に向けて変位(押圧)させると、前記金属素材26の内部応力が高まり、前記成形空間を構成する、周囲の部材(マンドレル23a、外径拘束型37、両可動環状部材36c、36d、及び両支持軸部38a、38b)を押圧する。そして、前記金属素材26の押圧力のうち、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dの外周面に加わる、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向の押圧力が、所定の値を超えると、前記両可動環状部材36c、36dが、前記弾性部材70を収縮させながら、前記成形ロール24aから離れる方向(図6に矢印βで示す方向)に向けて変位する。この様にして、前記成形空間のうちの前記両可動環状部材36c、36dの変位により拡張した部分64、64(図6に斜格子で示す部分)に、前記金属素材26の余肉を逃がす事ができる。その他の構成及び作用効果に就いては、上述した実施の形態の第1例の場合と同様である。   When the forming roll 24a is further displaced (pressed) toward the outer diameter constraining die 37 from this state, the internal stress of the metal material 26 is increased, and surrounding members (mandrel 23a, The outer diameter restraining die 37, both movable annular members 36c and 36d, and both support shaft portions 38a and 38b) are pressed. When the pressing force applied to the outer peripheral surfaces of the movable annular members 36c and 36d in the direction away from the forming roll 24a exceeds a predetermined value, the both movable annular members 36c and 36d are displaced toward a direction away from the forming roll 24a (a direction indicated by an arrow β in FIG. 6) while contracting the elastic member 70. In this manner, the excess material of the metal material 26 is allowed to escape to the portions 64 and 64 (portions indicated by diagonal grids in FIG. 6) expanded by the displacement of the both movable annular members 36c and 36d in the molding space. Can do. About another structure and an effect, it is the same as that of the case of the 1st example of embodiment mentioned above.

本発明の製造方法及び製造装置の対象となるリング状部材には、仕上げ加工(切削加工又は研削加工)を施す必要があるリング状部材だけでなく、仕上げ加工が不要なリング状部材(内輪、外輪)も含まれる。
又、前述した実施の形態の各例では、マンドレルを構成する転造軸部の固定用軸部材の外周面に、別部材である軌道形成部材及び係止溝形成部材を外嵌し、これら各部材の外周面により、第一転造面を構成している。但し、固定用軸部材の外周面に直接、第一転造面を形成する構成を採用する事もできる。
又、前述の各実施の形態では、加工中に、サポートロールを水平方向に変位させる事なく、成形ロールのみを水平方向(マンドレル側)に変位させる構成を採用している。但し、これとは逆に、成形ロールを水平方向に変位させる事なく、サポートロールのみを水平方向(マンドレル側)に変位させる構成とする事もできる。又、サポートロールと成形ロールとの両方を、水平方向に変位させる構成を採用する事もできる。
又、可動環状部材の構造、配置、及び数等は、前述した実施の形態の各例の場合に限定されるものではない。
The ring-shaped member that is the object of the manufacturing method and the manufacturing apparatus of the present invention is not only a ring-shaped member that needs to be finished (cutting or grinding), but also a ring-shaped member that does not require finishing (an inner ring, Outer ring) is also included.
Moreover, in each example of embodiment mentioned above, the track | orbit formation member and locking groove formation member which are another members are externally fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member for fixation of the rolling shaft part which comprises a mandrel. The outer peripheral surface of the member constitutes the first rolling surface. However, a configuration in which the first rolling surface is directly formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fixing shaft member may be employed.
Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, a configuration is adopted in which only the forming roll is displaced in the horizontal direction (mandrel side) without displacing the support roll in the horizontal direction during processing. However, on the contrary, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which only the support roll is displaced in the horizontal direction (mandrel side) without displacing the forming roll in the horizontal direction. Moreover, the structure which displaces both a support roll and a forming roll to a horizontal direction is also employable.
Further, the structure, arrangement, number, and the like of the movable annular member are not limited to the cases of the above-described embodiments.
