Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は直動案内軸受装置に係り、特に、転がり直動案内軸受装置における多数の転動体やその転動体が転動する転動溝、または滑り直動案内軸受装置における案内軸の滑り案内面に対して長期にわたり潤滑剤を自動的に供給することを可能とした潤滑剤供給装置付き直動案内軸受装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、一般的に使用される直動案内軸受装置としては、転がり直動案内軸受装置と滑り直動案内軸受装置とがある。前者には、例えば図14,図15に示すようなリニアガイド装置がある。このものは、外面に転動体転動溝3を有して軸方向に延びる案内軸としての案内レール1と、その案内レール1を跨いで組み付けられた被案内部材としてのスライダ2を備えたものが知られている。
スライダ2はスライダ本体2Aとその両端部に取り付けられたエンドキャップ2Bとからなり、スライダ本体2Aは両袖部4の内側面に案内レール1の転動体転動溝3に対向する負荷転動体転動溝5が形成されるとともに、袖部肉厚部を軸方向に貫通する転動体戻し路を有している。
一方、エンドキャップ2Bは、スライダ本体2Aの転動体転動溝とこれに平行な転動体戻し路とを連通させる湾曲路を有しており、それらの転動体戻し路と両端の湾曲路とで転動体循環路が形成されている。その転動体循環路内と前記負荷転動体転動溝5には転動体である多数の鋼製のボールBが装填されている。
【0003】
案内レール1に組み付けたスライダ2は、対向する両転動体転動溝内3,5内の転動体Bの転動を介して案内レール1に沿い滑らかに移動し、その移動中、転動体Bはスライダ内の転動体循環路を無限循環する。なお、スライダ2には、防塵のために両端にサイドシール6、下面にアンダーシール7が装着されている。
【0004】
ところで、このような従来のリニアガイド装置の潤滑に関しては、通常、スライダ2のエンドキャップ2B(又はスライダ本体2Aの側面)に形成された給油継手8にグリースニップル9或いは給油配管を取り付け、必要に応じてグリースガンやオイル供給ポンプ等の外部装置を使いグリースや潤滑油を転動体循環回路に供給することにより、転動する転動体の潤滑が行われている。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、このように潤滑油またはグリースをそのまま直接に用いる潤滑方式では、次のような種々の問題点がある。
【0006】
特に直動案内軸受装置が高温環境で使用されるような場合に、装置内に充填されているそれら潤滑剤が流動して外部に流出してしまうため消耗が早く、短期間に補給を繰り返さなければならない。
【0007】
また、異物の多い環境中での使用の場合、一例を挙げると木屑やパウダー状の異物中では、充填された潤滑剤が異物により油分を吸い取られてしまい潤滑不良をまねくおそれがある。
【0008】
また、直動案内軸受装置の使用箇所は、外部からの潤滑剤の補給が困難な機械装置の内部の場合が多い。
グリースの場合、定期的に補給するのを忘れ易い。オイルの場合は、オイル供給ポンプや配管が必要でコスト高となるし、使用済オイルの回収が難しい。
【0009】
そこで、本発明は、このような従来の未解決の課題に着目してなされたものであり、直動案内軸受装置の外部から潤滑剤を供給する代わりに、潤滑剤含有のゴムまたは合成樹脂材により潤滑剤供給部材を形成して、これを装置構成部材内の給油路に組み込むことにより、装置内部の転動体や転動体転動溝、または滑り直動案内軸受装置における案内軸の滑り案内面に対して長期にわたり安定して潤滑剤を自動的に供給できる長寿命の潤滑剤供給装置付き直動案内軸受装置を提供することを目的としている。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成する本発明の請求項1に係る発明は、外面に転動体転動溝を有して軸方向に延びる案内軸に被案内部材が組み付けられ、当該被案内部材は、内部に前記転動体転動溝に対向する負荷転動体転動溝及びこの負荷転動体転動溝に連通する転動体循環路を備えるとともに、左右の袖部と両袖部を繋ぐ連結部とを備え、前記負荷転動体転動溝と転動体循環路内に多数の転動体が転動自在に装填された直動案内軸受装置において、前記被案内部材は、前記転動体循環路及び/又は前記負荷転動体転動溝に連通する給油路を有するとともに、この給油路と連通して軸方向に延びる収納穴を前記連結部に有し、この給油路と連通して軸方向に延びる収納穴とを有し、この収納穴に、潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材を挿入し、前記潤滑剤供給部材を弾性部材により弾圧状態としたことを特徴とする。
【0011】
本発明の請求項2に係る発明は、外面に滑り案内面を有して軸方向に延びる案内軸に被案内部材が組み付けられ、前記被案内部材は左右の袖部と両袖部を繋ぐ連結部とを備えた直動案内軸受装置において、当該被案内部材は前記滑り案内面に連通する給油路を有するとともに、この給油路と連通して軸方向に延びる収納穴を前記連結部に有し、この収納穴に、潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材を挿入し、前記潤滑剤供給部材を弾性部材により弾圧状態としたことを特徴とする。
【0013】
本発明の上記請求項1に係る発明は、転がり直動案内軸受装置の被案内部材に設けた収納穴に挿入した潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材から、予め含有させてある潤滑剤が経時的に徐々にしみ出し、この収納穴が連通する給油から転動体循環路及び/又は負荷転動体転動溝に流れて転動体の面に均一に供給される。そのため、外部からグリースや潤滑油を供給することなく、長期間にわたって安定した潤滑が行われる。
【0014】
また、本発明の請求項2に係る発明は、滑り直動案内軸受装置の被案内部材に設けた収納穴に挿入した潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材から、予め含有させてある潤滑剤が経時的に徐々にしみ出し、この収納穴が連通する給油から案内軸の滑り案内面や、これに対向する被案内部材の滑り面に均一に供給される。そのため、外部からグリースや潤滑油を供給することなく、たとえ高温の悪環境にあっても長期間にわたって安定した潤滑が行われる。
【0015】
また、本発明の請求項1および2に係る発明によれば、前記転がり直動案内軸受装置又は滑り直動案内軸受装置の収納穴に挿入された潤滑剤供給部材は弾性部材により弾圧されているものとしたため、潤滑剤供給部材は弾性部材に押圧されて含有している潤滑剤が潤沢に供給される。また、含有潤滑剤の大部分を潤滑剤供給部材から絞りだして無駄にすることなく供給することができる。
【0016】
以下に、本発明の潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂部材について詳しく説明する。
本発明の潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂部材は、ポリエチレン,ポリプロピレン,ポリブチレン,ポリメチルペンテン等の基本的に同じ化学構造を有するポリオレフィン系のゴム又は合成樹脂の群から選定したゴム又は合成樹脂に、潤滑剤としてポリα−オレフィン油のようなパラフィン系炭化水素油、ナフテン系炭化水素油、鉱油、ジアルキルジフェニルエーテル油のようなエーテル油、フタル酸エステル,トリメリット酸エステルのようなエステル油等の何れかを混合して加熱溶融した後、所定の型に注入して加圧しながら冷却固化させて成形したものであり、予め酸化防止剤,錆止め剤,摩耗防止剤,あわ消し剤,極圧剤等の各種の添加剤を加えたものでもよい。
【0017】
上記潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂部材の組成比は、全重量に対してポリオレフィン系のゴム又は合成樹脂20〜90重量%、潤滑剤80〜10重量%である。ポリオレフィン系のゴム又は合成樹脂が20重量%未満の場合は、シールとして必要な硬さ・強度等が得られない。また、ポリオレフィン系のゴム又は合成樹脂が90重量%を越える場合(潤滑剤が10重量%未満の場合)は、潤滑剤の供給が少なくなり、リニアガイド装置自体の潤滑不良が生じる。
【0018】
上記のゴム又は合成樹脂の群は、基本構造は同じでその平均分子量が異なっており、1×103 〜5×106 の範囲におよんでいる。その中で、平均分子量1×103 〜1×106 という比較的低分子量のものと、1×106 〜5×106 という超高分子量のものとを、単独もしくは必要に応じて混合して用いる。
【0019】
本発明の潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂部材の機械的強度を向上させるため、上述のポリオレフィン系のゴム又は合成樹脂に、以下のような熱可塑性樹脂および熱硬化性樹脂を添加したものでもよい。
【0020】
熱可塑性樹脂としては、ポリアミド,ポリカーボネート,ポリブチレンテレフタレート,ポリフェニレンサルファイド,ポリエーテルスルホン,ポリエーテルエーテルケトン,ポリアミドイミド,ポリスチレン,ABS樹脂等の各樹脂を使用することができる。
【0021】
熱硬化性樹脂としては、不飽和ポリエステル樹脂,尿素樹脂,メラミン樹脂,フェノール樹脂,ポリイミド樹脂,エポキシ樹脂等の各樹脂を使用することができる。
【0022】
これらの樹脂は、単独または混合して用いても良い。
更に、ポリオレフィン系のゴム又は合成樹脂とそれ以外の樹脂とを、より均一な状態で分散させるために、必要に応じて適当な相溶化剤を加えてあっても良い。
【0023】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施形態を図面を参照して説明する。なお、同一ないし相当部分には同一の符号を付して重複する説明は省略してある。
【0024】
まず、本発明の直動案内軸受装置の一実施形態例として、転がり直動案内軸受装置であるリニアガイド装置の全体の構造について説明する。
図1、図2において、案内軸としての角形の案内レール1上に、被案内部材としての横断面形状がほぼコ字形のスライダ2が軸方向に相対移動可能に跨架されている。スライダ2の本体2Aの軸方向の両端部にはエンドキャップ2Bが着脱可能に固着されている。この実施例の場合、案内レール1の両側面1bに断面ほぼ半円形状の軸方向の凹溝からなる転動体転動溝3が二本づつ形成されている。
【0025】
これに対して、スライダ2の本体2Aの両袖部4の内側面に、案内レール1の転動体転動溝3に対向する断面ほぼ半円形の負荷転動体転動溝5が形成されている。10はエンドキャップ2Bの取付け用のねじを螺合するねじ穴である。
【0026】
また、スライダ本体2Aの袖部4の肉厚部に、負荷転動体転動溝5に平行な軸方向の断面円形の貫通孔からなる転動体戻し路11が上下二段に形成されている。
【0027】
エンドキャップ2Bは、合成樹脂材の射出成形品で、断面ほぼコ字状に形成されている。そして、スライダ本体2Aとの接合面(裏面)2Bb には、図3に示すように、両袖部分に半円状の凹部12が上下二段に形成されるとともに、各半円状の凹部12の中心部を横断して半円柱状の凹溝13が設けてある。その半円柱状の凹溝13には、図4、図5に示す半円筒状のリターンガイド14が嵌合される。このリターンガイド14の外径面には、上記半円状の凹部12に対応する位置に、転動体Bの案内面となる断面円弧状の凹溝15が上下二段に形成されている。リターンガイド14の内径側の凹部は潤滑剤通路17であり、その潤滑剤通路17から外径側の凹溝15に抜ける貫通孔が給油孔14Aとして形成されている。
【0028】
この実施形態のリターンガイド14は合成樹脂材の射出成形品である。
このようなリターンガイド14をエンドキャップ裏面の半円状の凹部12に組み込むことにより、エンドキャップ2Bの裏面2Bb に断面円形の半ドーナツ状の湾曲路19が上下二段に形成される。そのエンドキャップ2Bをスライダ本体2Aに取り付けて、図6に示すように湾曲路19で、スライダ本体2Aの負荷転動体転動溝5と転動体戻し路11とを上下段とも同様に連通させる。
【0029】
上記の転動体戻し路11とその両端の湾曲路19,19とで転動体循環経路が構成され、その経路内および負荷転動体転動溝5に多数の転動体Bが転動自在に挿入されている。
【0030】
続いて、上記のリニアガイド装置の給油構造について述べる。
ンドキャップ2Bの給油経路の詳細を説明すると、エンドキャップ2Bの表面2Ba に、左右両袖部を繋ぐ連結部の中央に、グリース又はオイル供給用の給油孔21が設けてあり、裏面2Bb に貫通している。この給油孔21の入り口側には給油継手としての雌ねじ8が形成されており、従来はこれにグリースニップル或いは給油配管継ぎ手を螺着して取り付けるようになっている。
エンドキャップ2Bの裏面2Bb には、前記給油孔21と、両袖部に形成されたリターンガイド取付け用の半円柱状の凹溝13とを連通させる給油路22が形成されている。そして、この給油路22は、半円柱状の凹溝13に組付けたリターンガイド14の内径側の潤滑剤通路17から給油孔14Aを経て外径側の凹溝15に抜け、左右両袖の上下二段の各湾曲路19に連通している(図3,図5参照)。
【0031】
この実施形態では、図1及び図7に示すように、スライダ本体2Aに設けられた貫通孔からなる給油孔21を介して給油路22と連通する潤滑剤供給部材収納穴26が、給油孔21と同軸同径で設けてある。この潤滑剤供給部材収納穴26内に、円状の潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材23を挿入し、これを押圧する例えばコイルばね等の弾性部材24を給油孔21内に挿入し、さらに表面2B a 側から止めねじ25を雌ねじ8に螺合して固定している。
【0032】
上記潤滑剤供給部材23の組成は、例えばパラフィン系鉱油(日本石油(株)製FBKRO100)75wt%、低分子量ポリエチレン(三菱油化(株)製PZ50U)16wt%、超高分子量ポリエチレン(三井石油化学(株)ミペロンXM220)9wt%に設定されている。
【0033】
次に上記第1の実施形態の動作を説明する。
機台に固定した案内レール1上をスライダ2が移動すると、転動体Bは負荷転動体転動路5内を転動しつつスライダ2の移動方向にスライダ2より遅い速度で移動し、一端側の湾曲路19でUターンして転動体戻し路11を逆方向に転動しつつ移動し、他端側の湾曲路19で逆Uターンして負荷転動体転動路5内に戻る循環を繰り返す。
【0034】
こうしてリニアガイド装置が駆動されると、潤滑剤供給部材23から室温又はスライダ2の走行時の発熱による温度上昇によって経時的に徐々にしみ出してくる潤滑剤が、給油路22を経てリターンガイド14の潤滑剤通路17に至り、そこからリターンガイドの給油孔14Aを通って湾曲路19内に流れ出し、そこを転動しつつ通過する転動体Bに自動的に供給される。更に、循環移動する転動体Bを介して負荷転動体転動路5,案内レールの転動体転動溝3に潤滑剤が行き渡る。本実施形態では、潤滑剤供給部材23が弾性部材24により押圧されているので、潤滑剤がしみ出し易くなっている。潤滑剤供給部材23から徐々に潤滑剤が放出されるに従い潤滑剤供給部材23が次第に収縮するが、弾性部材24が弾圧することでより円滑に連続してしみ出すことができる。
【0035】
したがって、殊更に潤滑剤を外部からスライダ2に供給しないでも、低トルクで安定した滑らかなリニアガイド装置の作動を長時間続けることができる。本実施形態によれば、特にリニアガイド装置が高温環境で使用されるような場合でも、潤滑剤供給部材23に含有されている潤滑剤が流動して早期に外部に流出してしまうことはなく、短期間に補給を繰り返す必要がない。また、異物の多い環境中での使用の場合も、潤滑剤供給部材23の内部に含有されている潤滑剤が異物により油分を吸い取られてしまうことはないから、潤滑不良をまねくおそれがない。また、リニアガイド装置の外部からの潤滑剤の補給が長時間不要となるため、機械装置の内部にリニアガイド装置が設置される場合にも潤滑容易である。また、従来のようにオイル供給ポンプや配管が必要ではなく、低コストである。
【0036】
また、この実施形態では、スライダ本体2Aの端面に、エンドキャップ2Bの給油孔21に対応させて、その給油孔21と同軸同径で所定の深さを有する潤滑剤供給部材収納穴26を設けている。これにより、図8のように、給油孔21内のみに潤滑剤供給部材23を収納する例と比較して、より長時間にわたり潤滑剤をリニアガイド装置の転動体B,転動体転動溝3及び負荷転動体転動路5に供給し続けることができるという利点がある
【0037】
次に、本発明におけるの実施形態を図9に示す。
の実施形態は、図7に示す実施形態における潤滑剤供給部材収納穴26の長さ(深さ)をより長く、且つ内径をより大きくしたものである。その潤滑剤供給部材収納穴26内に、長さ及び直径サイズが更に大きい潤滑剤供給部材23Bを挿入し、間座28で蓋する。その後、エンドキャップ2Bを組み付けてから、給油孔21に弾性部材24と止めねじ25とを挿入し、間座28を介して上記同様に潤滑剤供給部材23を押圧しつつ固定している。
【0038】
潤滑剤供給部材23を大きくした分、含有潤滑剤の量が多くなり、更に長時間にわたり潤滑剤をリニアガイド装置の転動体B,転動体転動溝3及び負荷転動体転動路5に供給し続けることができるという利点がある。その他の作用効果は図7の例と同様である。
【0039】
次に、本発明におけるの実施形態を図10に示す。
の実施形態は、図9の実施形態における潤滑剤供給部材収納穴26を更に延長してスライダ本体2Aの反対端側に貫通させ、その貫通孔のほぼ全長に及ぶ長さの潤滑剤供給部材23を挿入してから、スライダ本体2Aの両端に組み付けたエンドキャップ2Bの給油孔21にそれぞれ弾性部材24と止めねじ25とを挿入し、固定している。必要に応じて間座28を使用する。
【0040】
潤滑剤供給部材23の含有潤滑剤の量が更に多く、一層長時間の自動給油が可能になる。その他の作用効果は図7の実施形態例と同様である
【0048】
なお、本発明が適用できる転がり直動案内軸受装置は実施形態例のタイプに限定されず、例えばリニアガイド装置は負荷転動体転動溝が片側二条以外のものでも良く、また転動体がボールではなくころであっても良い。
【0049】
続いて、本発明におけるの実施形態を図1〜図1に示す。
の実施形態は、本発明の潤滑剤供給装置を転がり直動案内軸受ではなく滑り直動案内装置に適用したものである。
【0050】
すなわち、滑り案内軸50は上面に滑り案内面51、両側面に案内斜面52を備えている。その滑り案内軸50上に、横断面形状がほぼコ字形の被案内部材53が軸方向に相対滑り移動可能に跨架されている。当該被案内部材53の上部には、幅方向の中心位置に軸方向の長い潤滑剤供給部材収納穴54が設けられている。潤滑剤供給部材収納穴54には滑り案内軸50の上面の滑り案内面51に連通する給油路55が分岐して形成されている。その潤滑剤供給部材収納穴54に、円筒状の潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材23とこれを押圧するコイルばね等の弾性部材24とが挿入され、止めねじ25を雌ねじ8に螺合して固定されている。
【0051】
潤滑剤供給部材23からしみ出す潤滑剤Yは給油路55を流れ下り、滑り案内軸50の上面の滑り案内面51に行き渡って潤滑を行う。
この場合も、潤滑剤供給部材23を大きくして潤滑剤保持量を増すために、潤滑剤供給部材23を収納する潤滑剤供給部材収納穴54の径を拡大したり、長さを長くしたりすることができる
【0052】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明の請求項1の発明によれば、案内軸に案内されて直線移動する被案内部材に、内部の転動体循環路及び/又は負荷転動体転動溝に連通する給油路と連通して軸方向に延びる収納穴両袖部を繋ぐ連結部に設け、その収納穴に潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材を挿入した潤滑剤供給装置付き直動案内軸受としたため、その潤滑剤供給部材から潤滑剤が経時的に徐々にしみ出し転動体面に自動的に供給され、その転動体の転動により負荷転動体転動路にもくまなく均一に供給され、その結果、長期間にわたって安定した自己潤滑が行われるという効果を奏する。
【0053】
より具体的には、殊更に潤滑剤を外部から被案内部材に供給しないでも、低トルクで安定した滑らかな作動を長時間続けることができ、直動案内軸受装置が高温環境で使用されるような場合でも、潤滑剤供給部材に含有されている潤滑剤が流動して早期に外部に流出してしまうことがないので短期間に補給を繰り返す必要がなく、また、異物の多い環境中での使用の場合も、潤滑剤供給部材の内部に含有されている潤滑剤が異物により油分を吸い取られてしまうことはないから潤滑不良をまねくおそれがなく、また、直動案内軸受装置の外部からの潤滑剤の補給が不要のため機械装置の内部に直動案内軸受装置が設置される場合にも潤滑容易であり、また、従来のようにオイル供給ポンプや配管が必要ではなく、低コストである等、種々の効果が得られる。
【0054】
また、本発明の請求項2の発明によれば、本発明を外面に滑り案内面を有して軸方向に延びる案内軸に被案内部材が組み付けられた滑り直動案内軸受に適用し、その被案内部材に前記滑り案内面に連通する給油路と連通して軸方向に延びる収納穴両袖部を繋ぐ連結部に設け、その収納穴に潤滑剤含有のゴム又は合成樹脂からなる潤滑剤供給部材を挿入した潤滑剤供給装置付き直動案内軸受としたため、上記請求項1の場合と同様の自己潤滑機能による効果が得られる。
【0055】
また、本発明の請求項1および2の発明によれば、潤滑剤供給部材を弾性部材により弾圧するものとしたため、潤滑剤供給部材に含有されている潤滑剤が潤沢に供給されると共に、含有量の大部分を無駄なく使用できるという効果を奏する。
