Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、自動車の車輪を構成するホイール並びにロータ或はドラム等の制動用回転部材を支持する為の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車の車輪を構成するホイール1、及び制動用回転部材であって制動装置であるディスクブレーキを構成するロータ2は、例えば図5に示す様な構造により、懸架装置を構成するナックル3に回転自在に支承している。即ち、このナックル3に形成した円形の支持孔4部分に、転がり軸受ユニット5を構成する、静止輪である外輪6を、複数本のボルト7により固定している。一方、上記転がり軸受ユニット5を構成するハブ8に上記ホイール1及びロータ2を、複数本のスタッド9とナット10とにより結合固定している。又、上記外輪6の内周面には、それぞれが静止側軌道面である複列の外輪軌道11a、11bを、外周面には結合フランジ12を、それぞれ形成している。この様な外輪6は、この結合フランジ12を上記ナックル3に、上記各ボルト7で結合する事により、このナックル3に対し固定している。
【0003】
これに対して、上記ハブ8の外周面の一部で、上記外輪6の外端開口(軸方向に関して外とは、自動車への組み付け状態で幅方向外側となる部分を言い、図4を除く各図の左側。反対に、自動車への組み付け状態で幅方向中央側となる、図4を除く各図の右側を内と言う。本明細書全体で同じ。)から突出した部分には、取付フランジ13を形成している。上記ホイール1及びロータ2はこの取付フランジ13の外側面に、上記各スタッド9とナット10とにより、結合固定している。
【0004】
又、前記ハブ8の中間部外周面で、上記外輪6の内周面に形成した複列の外輪軌道11a、11bのうちの外側の外輪軌道11aに対向する部分には、内輪軌道14aを形成している。更に、上記ハブ8の内端部に形成した小径段部15に、ハブ8と共に回転輪を構成する内輪16を外嵌固定している。そして、この内輪16の外周面に形成した内輪軌道14bを、上記複列の外輪軌道11a、11bのうちの内側の外輪軌道11bに対向させている。これら各外輪軌道11a、11bと各内輪軌道14a、14bとの間には、それぞれが転動体である玉17、17を複数個ずつ、それぞれ保持器18、18により保持した状態で転動自在に設けている。この構成により、背面組み合わせである複列アンギュラ型の玉軸受を構成し、上記外輪6の内側に上記ハブ8及び内輪16を、回転自在に、且つ、ラジアル荷重及びスラスト荷重を支承自在に支持している。
【0005】
尚、上記外輪6の両端部内周面と、上記ハブ8の中間部外周面及び上記内輪16の内端部外周面との間には、それぞれシールリング19a、19bを設けて、上記各玉17、17を設けた空間と外部空間とを遮断している。更に、図示の例は、駆動輪(FR車及びRR車の後輪、FF車の前輪、4WD車の全輪)用の転がり軸受ユニット5である為、上記ハブ8の中心部に、スプライン孔20を形成している。そして、このスプライン孔20に、等速ジョイント21のスプライン軸22を挿入している。
【0006】
上述の様な転がり軸受ユニット5の使用時には、図5に示す様に、外輪6をナックル3に固定すると共に、ハブ8の取付フランジ13に、図示しないタイヤを組み合わせたホイール1及びロータ2を固定する。又、このうちのロータ2と、上記ナックル3に固定した、図示しないサポート及びキャリパとを組み合わせて、制動用のディスクブレーキを構成する。制動時には、上記ロータ2を挟んで設けた1対のパッドをこのロータ2の両側面に押し付ける。
【0007】
上記ホイール1及びロータ2は、前述した様に、前記スタッド9とナット10とにより上記取付フランジ13の外側面に結合固定される。即ち、この取付フランジ13にそれぞれの基端部(右端部)を支持された複数本の上記スタッド9を、上記ロータ2及びホイール1の取付板部23にそれぞれ形成した通孔24、25に挿通した状態で、上記ナット10をスタッド9に螺合する事により、上記ホイール1及びロータ2を上記取付フランジ13の外側面に結合固定する。ここで、上記転がり軸受ユニット5にロータ2を組み付ける際には、このロータ2の{側面が回転軸方向(図5の左右方向)に振れる}面振れの振れ幅(回転軸方向への変位量)の調整(極力0にする)を行なう必要がある。ロータ2を上記取付フランジ13に固定した時に、このロータ2の側面がロータ2の回転中心に対して直角でない場合、ロータ2の回転時に上記面振れが生じる。この様な面振れの振れ幅が大きいと、自動車の制動時に、ジャダーと呼ばれる不快な騒音を伴う振動が発生する。この為、転がり軸受ユニット5にロータ2を組み付けた状態で、このロータ2の側面に旋削加工等を施して、上記面振れの振れ幅が小さくなる様に調整を行なう事が好ましい。
【0008】
但し、上述の様なロータ等の制動用回転部材の面振れの調整を自動車組立工場で行なう事は現実的ではない。即ち、従来、転がり軸受ユニットと制動用回転部材とは別々に自動車組立工場に納入され、これらの組み付け作業は自動車組立工場で行なわれていた。この組み付け作業時に、旋削加工を伴う上記制動用回転部材の面振れの調整を行なう事は、作業の段取りを非常に悪化させる為、非現実的である。自動車の最終組立を行なう自動車組立工場では、ロータの面振れの調整等の自動車部品の調整作業の工程を極力減らす方が自動車の生産性が良くなり、自動車の製造コストの低下を図れる。この様な事情に鑑みて、特開2000−227132号公報には、予め、ロータ等の制動用回転部材の面振れの調整を行ない、この面振れの調整を行なった制動用回転部材を転がり軸受ユニットに結合したまま自動車組立工場に納入できる構造が提案されている。上記公報に記載された構造では、転がり軸受ユニットの取付フランジに、面振れの調整を行なった制動用回転部材を、スタッドとは別のねじで結合する事により、上記制動用回転部材を上記取付フランジに結合したまま自動車組立工場に納入できる様にしている。
【0009】
上述の様に、面振れの調整を行なった制動用回転部材を取付フランジに結合したまま自動車組立工場に納入する事により、制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの、制動時に於ける振動を伴う騒音を抑える性能を高める事ができる。即ち、面振れの調整は、取付フランジに結合した状態で行なう為、調整後に制動用回転部材を取り外した場合、再び同じ様に取付フランジに結合しても、面振れが生じ易くなる。面振れの調整は、振れ幅が極く小さくなる様に行なう為、一旦取り外して再び結合する時の僅かな組み付け誤差が振れ幅に大きな影響を与える事になる。取付フランジと制動用回転部材との組み合わせが変わったり、組み合わせの位相が変わった場合には、上記振れ幅は相当に大きくなる。従って、面振れの調整を行なった制動用回転部材を取り外す事なく、取付フランジに結合したまま自動車組立工場に納入する事は、ジャダー防止の面から、制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの性能を向上させる事になる。
【0010】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述した様な、特開2000−227132号公報に記載された従来構造の場合には、転がり軸受ユニットにロータを結合する為に、結合用のねじを使用している為、このねじによる結合の為の加工作業が必要となる。即ち、転がり軸受ユニットを構成する取付フランジにスタッド用の取付孔とは別に上記ねじ用のねじ孔を、上記ロータにスタッド用の通孔とは別にこのねじ用の通孔を、それぞれ加工する作業が必要となる。この様に、転がり軸受ユニットにロータを結合する為の作業が多くなる事は、制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの製造コストが増加し、好ましくない。
【0011】
これに対して、ロータを取付フランジに結合する為に、上記取付フランジにロータのみを支持し、ホイールを支持していない状態でナットを上記スタッドに螺合する事により、ロータのみを取付フランジに固定して、部品工場から自動車組立工場に搬送する事が考えられる。この様にすれば、上述した特開2000−227132号公報の構造の様に、ロータと取付フランジとの結合にねじを使用する必要がなくなる為、このねじ用のねじ孔及び通孔の加工作業がなくなる。但し、この様にすると、自動車組立工場でホイールを組み付ける際に、ナットを一旦取り外してからホイールを組み付けた後、再びこのナットをスタッドに螺合する作業が必要となり、自動車組立工場での作業が面倒となる。
本発明は、上述の様な事情に鑑み、自動車組立工場での作業を面倒にする事なく、製造コストが安価で、制動時に振動及び騒音が発生するのを防止する性能が高い制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットを実現すべく発明したものである。
【0012】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットは、従来構造と同様に、静止側周面に静止側軌道面を有し、使用状態で懸架装置に支持固定される静止輪と、回転側周面に回転側軌道面を有し、車輪を支持した状態でこの車輪と共に回転する回転輪と、この回転側軌道面と上記静止側軌道面との間に設けられた複数個の転動体と、上記回転輪の外周面に設けられ円周方向複数箇所に取付孔を形成した取付フランジと、この取付フランジにそれぞれの基端部を支持された複数本のスタッドと、円周方向複数個所にそれぞれ形成した通孔にこれら各スタッドを挿通した状態で、上記取付フランジの側面に支持固定された制動用回転部材及び上記車輪を構成するホイールとを備える。
【0013】
特に、本発明の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットに於いては、上記各スタッドを上記制動用回転体の各通孔に緩く挿通する事によりこの制動用回転部材を上記取付フランジの側面に支持した状態で、上記各スタッドのうちの少なくとも1本のスタッドに、基端部の径よりも先端部の径が小さい弾性部材を外嵌し、この弾性部材の先端部を上記少なくとも1本のスタッドの中間部に係止すると共に、この弾性部材の基端部を上記制動用回転部材の側面のうちの上記取付フランジと反対面の一部で上記通孔の周囲部分に弾性的に当接させる事により、この制動用回転部材を上記取付フランジに対し、不離に結合している。又、上記ホイールの各通孔が存在する部分に、上記取付フランジと逆側に膨出する膨出部を形成するか、又は、上記制動用回転部材のうちの上記取付フランジの反対側面で各通孔の周囲に凹部を設ける事により、上記ホイールを上記制動用回転部材のこの取付フランジと反対側に組み付けた状態で、上記弾性部材がこのホイールと干渉する事を防止している。
【0014】
【作用】
本発明の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットは、前述した特開2000−227132号公報に記載した従来構造と同様に、転がり軸受ユニットを構成する取付フランジに、面振れを調整した制動用回転部材を結合したまま自動車組立工場に納入できる。この為、制動時に振動及び騒音が発生するのを防止する性能が高い制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットを提供できると共に、自動車の組立作業の工程を減らして、自動車の生産性を向上させる事ができる。
【0015】
特に、本発明の場合は、制動用回転部材を取付フランジに結合する為に、これら制動用回転部材及び取付フランジに、スタッド挿通用として本来必要とされる以外の、ねじ孔及び通孔を加工する作業が必要なくなり、制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの製造コストを低く抑える事ができる。又、ホイールを上記制動用回転部材の上記取付フランジと反対側に組み付けた状態で、弾性部材がこのホイールと干渉する事を防止している為、この弾性部材をスタッドに係止したままホイールを組み付ける事ができ、自動車組立工場での作業が面倒となる事もない。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1〜2は、本発明の実施の形態の第1例を示している。尚、本発明の特徴は、転がり軸受ユニット5に制動用回転部材であるロータ2を結合する構造にある。又、本例の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの場合、ハブ8の内端部に形成したかしめ部26により内輪16の内端面を抑える事で、この内輪16の脱落防止を図ると共に玉17、17に予圧を付与した構造としている。その他の部分の構成及び作用は、前述の図5に示した従来構造と同様である為、同等部分に関する説明は省略若しくは簡略にし、以下、本発明の特徴部分を中心に説明する。
【0017】
本例の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットの場合、取付フランジ13へのロータ2の結合を、スタッド9と、請求項に記載した弾性部材であるコイルばね28とにより行なっている。この為に、上記取付フランジ13の円周方向複数箇所に形成した取付孔27に、それぞれ基端部(右端部)に設けたセレーション部を圧入固定する事により支持された複数本のスタッド9を、ロータ2の円周方向複数箇所に形成した通孔24に緩く挿通している。この様にして上記ロータ2を上記取付フランジ13の外側面に支持した状態で、上記各スタッド9のうちの少なくとも1本のスタッド9の中間部に、基端部の径よりも先端部の径が小さい上記コイルばね28を外嵌している。そして、このコイルばね28の先端部(左端部)を上記雄ねじ部29の中間部基端側に係止すると共に、このコイルばね28の基端部(右端部)を上記ロータ2の外側面の一部で上記通孔24の周囲部分に弾性的に当接させている。この構成により、上記スタッド9が上記通孔24から抜け出すのを防止する事で、このロータ2を上記取付フランジ13に対し、不離に結合している。
【0018】
上記コイルばね28は、ばね鋼(SUP)若しくはばね用オイルテンパー線(SWO)等の線材を、先端部から基端部に向かう程径が大きくなる様に螺旋状に巻回して成る。そして、自由状態でのコイルばね28の先端部の径を、上記雄ねじ部29の外径より小さくしている。又、上記コイルばね28を構成する線材の径は、上記雄ねじ部29の溝にその一部が嵌まり込む程度に小さくしている。この為、コイルばね28の先端部は雄ねじ部29のねじ溝内に係止されて、輸送時に加わる力程度では、上記スタッド9の軸方向にずれ動かなくなる。尚、上記雄ねじ部29のねじ溝は螺旋状になっている為、上記コイルばね28の先端部はこの螺旋状のねじ溝に沿って係止される。この様なコイルばね28を雄ねじ部29に外嵌するには、コイルばね28の先端部を雄ねじ部29の外径よりも弾性的に拡径しながら、この雄ねじ部29の軸方向に図の左側から右側に、コイルばね28の基端部が上記ロータ2の外側面に当接するまで押し込む。更に、コイルばね28の弾性力によりロータ2の外側面を押し付けた状態で、コイルばね28の先端部を上記雄ねじ部29の一部に係止する。
【0019】
尚、コイルばね28を外嵌するスタッド9が1本でも、上記ロータ2を上記取付フランジ13に結合する事ができるが、好ましくは、複数本(2〜3本)のスタッド9にコイルばね28を外嵌する。例えば、スタッドが4本支持されている転がり軸受ユニットの場合は、コイルばね28を外嵌するスタッド9の位置が径方向反対側となる様に、コイルばね28を2箇所に外嵌する事が好ましい。本例のコイルばねによる取付フランジ13へのロータ2の結合は、自動車組立工場に納入するまでの仮止めとしての役割を持つだけである為、全てのスタッド9にコイルばね28を外嵌する必要はないが、全てのスタッド9に外嵌しても差し支えない。
【0020】
本例の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットは、上述の様に構成する事により、上記取付フランジ13に面振れを調整したロータ2を結合したまま自動車組立工場に納入できる構造としている。即ち、上記面振れの調整は、上述の様にスタッド9とコイルばね28とにより取付フランジ13の外側面にロータ2を結合した状態で、更に治具等により取付フランジ13とロータ2とを固定し、ロータ2のパッドのライニングが摺接する面を旋削加工する事により、この面の振れ幅を極く小さくする。従って、面振れの調整が終了後、上記取付フランジ13とロータ2を治具から外しても、上記スタッド9とコイルばね28により、取付フランジ13とロータ2は結合されたままとなっており、このままの状態で自動車組立工場に納入できる。この為、制動時に振動や騒音が発生するのを防止する性能の高い制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットを提供できると共に、自動車組立工場での組立作業の工程を減らして、自動車の生産性を向上させる事ができる。
【0021】
特に、本例の場合は、上記取付フランジ13へのロータ2の結合を、上述の様に、上記スタッド9とコイルばね28とにより行なっている。この為、ロータ2を取付フランジ13に結合する為に、これらロータ2及び取付フランジ13に、上記スタッド9を挿通する為に本来必要となる以外の、ねじ孔及び通孔を加工する作業が必要なくなり、制動用回転部材付転がり軸受ユニットの製造コストを安価にする事ができる。又、上記コイルばね28を上記雄ねじ部29に外嵌する作業は、コイルばね28を雄ねじ部29に押し込むだけで済む為、固定用のねじを締め付ける作業に比べて容易に行なう事ができる。
【0022】
、図2は、上述の様にロータ2を結合した転がり軸受ユニット5にホイール1を組み付けた状態を示している。このホイール1は、前述の図5に全体形状を示す様に、鋼板にプレス加工を施して成るもので、取付板部23の円周方向複数個所に通孔25設け、この通孔25が存在する部分に、大略円すい台状の膨出部30を、取付フランジ13と逆側(図2の左側)に膨出する状態で形成している。又、上記通孔25の内周面は、軸方向外側から内側に向かう程径が小さくなる方向に傾斜した円すい状凹面として、スタッド9に螺合するナット10側に設けた円すい状凸面と係合する位置合わせ面としている。この様なホイール1は、上記通孔25にスタッド9を挿通した状態で、上記ロータ2の外側面に支持する。そして、上記ナット10を上記スタッド9の雄ねじ部29に螺合し、更に締め付ける事により、上記ホイール1を上記転がり軸受ユニット5に結合固定する。
【0023】
本例の場合、上記ホイール1を転がり軸受ユニット5に組み付ける際に、スタッド9に外嵌したコイルばね28を取り外す必要はない。即ち、このコイルばね28は、ホイール1を転がり軸受ユニット5に組み付けた状態で、図に示す様に、ホイール1の取付板部23の内側面とロータ2の外側面との間で上記膨出部30に囲まれた空間31内に位置する事となる。この為、上記コイルばね28がホイール1の一部と干渉する事なく、このコイルばね28がこのホイール1を上記転がり軸受ユニット5に組み付ける際の妨げとなる事はない。従って、上記コイルばね28を上記スタッド9に外嵌したまま、上記ホイール1を、上記ロータ2を固定した転がり軸受ユニット5に組み付ける事ができ、自動車組立工場での作業が面倒となる事がない。
【0024】
次に、図3〜4は、本発明の実施の形態の第2例を示している。本例の場合、弾性部材として、上述した第1例のコイルばね28に代えて、皿板ばね32を使用している。この皿板ばね32は、SK5等の鋼板を扇形に打ち抜き、円錐状に曲げ形成して成る。即ち、上記皿板ばね32は、先端部(図3の左端部、図4の上端部)から基端部(図3の右端部、図4の下端部)に向かう程径が大きくなる部分円錐状としている。又、この皿板ばね32の側面の一部には不連続部33が存在する。即ち、扇形の板材を円錐状に加工した状態で、板材の端部同士を溶接等により結合する事なく、端部同士の間に隙間が存在する様にしている。この不連続部33により、上記皿板ばね32は径方向への弾性変形が自在となる。又、上記皿板ばね32の先端部の自由状態での内径は、スタッド9の雄ねじ部29の外径より小さくしている。尚、本例では、ロータ2の外側面で複数の通孔24の周囲に、これら通孔24と同心に、円形の凹部34をそれぞれ設けている。
【0025】
本例の場合も、上述した第1例と同様に、スタッド9の雄ねじ部29の中間部基端側に上記皿板ばね32の先端部を係止し、基端部を上記ロータ2の外側面に形成した上記凹部34に弾性的に当接させている。即ち、上記皿板ばね32の先端部の内径を上記雄ねじ部29の外径よりも大きくなる様に、弾性的に拡径させながら、上記皿板ばね32を上記雄ねじ部29の軸方向に図の左側から右側に押し込み、この皿板ばね32の基端縁を、上記凹部34の奥部に弾性的に当接させている。そして、この状態で皿板ばね32の先端部を、上記スタッド9の中間部で上記雄ねじ部29の一部に係止している。尚、皿板ばね32を雄ねじ部29に確実に係止させる為には、この皿板ばね32の先端部内周縁を螺旋状のねじ溝に沿わせる事が好ましいが、本例の場合には、上記皿板ばね32の側面に上記不連続部33を設けている為、この皿板ばね32の先端部内周縁を上記ねじ溝に沿わせる事ができる。
【0026】
又、本例では、上記凹部34を設ける事により、ロータ2を固定した転がり軸受ユニット5にホイール1(図2、5参照)を組み付けた状態で、このホイール1と上記皿板ばね32とが干渉しない様にしている。言い換えれば、凹部34を設ける事により、アルミニウムホイール等、膨出部30(図2)を持たないホイールを組み付ける場合でも、上記皿板ばね32がこのホイールの組み付けの妨げにならない様にしている。従って、ホイールの構造に関係なく、皿板ばね32を上記スタッド9に係止したまま、このホイールを、上記ロータ2を固定した転がり軸受ユニット5に組み付ける事ができる。この様な、凹部34を設ける構造は、前述の図1〜2に示した、コイルばね28を使用する構造と組み合わせる事もできる。その他の構造及び作用は前述した第1例と同様である。
【0027】
尚、上述した本発明の実施の形態の第1例及び第2例では、制動用回転部材としてロータを使用した場合の例を示したが、本発明は制動用回転部材としてドラムを使用した場合にも適用できる。又、上述した第1、2例では、駆動輪用の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットに就いて説明したが、本発明は従動輪(FR車及びRR車の前輪、FF車の後輪)用の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットに於いても実施できる。
【0028】
【発明の効果】
本発明の制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニットは、以上に述べた通り構成され作用するので、制動時に発生する振動及び騒音を抑える性能が優れた制動用回転部材及びホイール付転がり軸受ユニット、並びにこれを組み込む自動車の製造コストを抑える事ができる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement in a wheel constituting a wheel of an automobile, a braking rotary member for supporting a braking rotary member such as a rotor or a drum, and a rolling bearing unit with a wheel .
[0002]
[Prior art]
A wheel 1 constituting a wheel of an automobile and a rotor 2 constituting a disc brake as a braking device and a braking device are rotatable to a knuckle 3 constituting a suspension device, for example, by a structure as shown in FIG. Is supported.

On the other hand, the wheel 1 and the rotor 2 are coupled and fixed to a hub 8 constituting the rolling bearing unit 5 by a plurality of studs 9 and nuts 10. Further, double row outer ring raceways 11a and 11b, each of which is a stationary side raceway surface, are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 6, and a coupling flange 12 is formed on the outer peripheral surface. Such an outer ring 6 is fixed to the knuckle 3 by connecting the connecting flange 12 to the knuckle 3 with the bolts 7.
[0003]
On the other hand, in a part of the outer peripheral surface of the hub 8, the outer end opening of the outer ring 6 (outside with respect to the axial direction refers to a portion that is outside in the width direction when assembled to the automobile, and excludes FIG.

Further, an inner ring raceway 14a is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate portion of the hub 8 at a portion of the double row outer ring raceways 11a and 11b formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 6 that faces the outer outer raceway 11a. is doing. Further, an inner ring 16 that constitutes a rotating wheel together with the hub 8 is externally fitted and fixed to a small diameter step portion 15 formed at the inner end portion of the hub 8. The inner ring raceway 14b formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 16 is opposed to the inner outer ring raceway 11b of the double row outer ring raceways 11a and 11b. Between each of the outer ring raceways 11a and 11b and each of the inner ring raceways 14a and 14b, a plurality of balls 17 and 17 each serving as a rolling element can be rolled while being held by cages 18 and 18, respectively. Provided. With this configuration, a double-row angular type ball bearing that is a rear combination is configured, and the hub 8 and the inner ring 16 are supported inside the outer ring 6 so as to be rotatable and support a radial load and a thrust load. ing.
[0005]
Seal rings 19a and 19b are provided between the inner peripheral surface of both ends of the outer ring 6, the outer peripheral surface of the intermediate part of the hub 8 and the outer peripheral surface of the inner end of the inner ring 16, respectively. , 17 and the external space are shut off. Furthermore, since the illustrated example is a rolling bearing unit 5 for driving wheels (the rear wheels of FR and RR vehicles, the front wheels of FF vehicles, and all wheels of 4WD vehicles), a spline hole is formed at the center of the hub 8. 20 is formed. The spline shaft 22 of the constant velocity joint 21 is inserted into the spline hole 20.
[0006]
When using the rolling bearing unit 5 as described above, as shown in FIG. 5, the outer ring 6 is fixed to the knuckle 3, and the wheel 1 and the rotor 2 combined with tires (not shown) are fixed to the mounting flange 13 of the hub 8. To do. A brake disc brake is configured by combining the rotor 2 and the support and caliper (not shown) fixed to the knuckle 3. During braking, a pair of pads provided across the rotor 2 are pressed against both side surfaces of the rotor 2.
[0007]
The wheel 1 and the rotor 2 are coupled and fixed to the outer surface of the mounting flange 13 by the stud 9 and the nut 10 as described above. That is, a plurality of the studs 9 whose base end portions (right end portions) are supported by the mounting flange 13 are inserted into through holes 24 and 25 formed in the rotor 2 and the mounting plate portion 23 of the wheel 1, respectively. In this state, the wheel 10 and the rotor 2 are coupled and fixed to the outer surface of the mounting flange 13 by screwing the nut 10 into the stud 9. Here, when the rotor 2 is assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5, the runout width (displacement amount in the rotation axis direction) of the {rotation of the side surface of the rotor 2 in the rotation axis direction (left and right direction in FIG. 5)}. ) Adjustment (to 0 as much as possible). If the side surface of the rotor 2 is not perpendicular to the rotation center of the rotor 2 when the rotor 2 is fixed to the mounting flange 13, the surface runout occurs when the rotor 2 rotates. When such a runout width is large, vibration accompanied by unpleasant noise called judder is generated during braking of the automobile. For this reason, it is preferable to perform adjustment so that the runout width of the surface runout is reduced by turning the side face of the rotor 2 while the rotor 2 is assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5.
[0008]
However, it is not realistic to adjust the surface runout of the braking rotating member such as the rotor as described above at the automobile assembly factory. That is, conventionally, the rolling bearing unit and the brake rotating member are separately delivered to the automobile assembly factory, and these assembling operations have been performed at the automobile assembly factory. It is unrealistic to adjust the surface runout of the rotating member for braking accompanying the turning process during the assembling work, because the work setup is greatly deteriorated. In an automobile assembly factory that performs final assembly of an automobile, it is possible to improve the productivity of the automobile and reduce the manufacturing cost of the automobile by reducing as much as possible the adjustment process of the automobile parts such as adjustment of the runout of the rotor. In view of such circumstances, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-227132 preliminarily adjusts the surface runout of a braking rotary member such as a rotor, and the brake rotary member that has been subjected to the surface runout adjustment is a rolling bearing. A structure that can be delivered to an automobile assembly plant while being connected to a unit has been proposed. In the structure described in the above publication, the braking rotary member adjusted for surface runout is coupled to the mounting flange of the rolling bearing unit with a screw different from the stud, so that the braking rotary member is attached to the mounting flange. It can be delivered to an automobile assembly plant while being connected to the flange.
[0009]
As described above, by supplying the braking rotating member with adjusted surface runout to the automobile assembly factory while being coupled to the mounting flange, vibrations during braking of the braking rotating member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit are reduced. The performance which suppresses the accompanying noise can be improved. That is, since the adjustment of the surface runout is performed in a state where it is coupled to the mounting flange, if the braking rotary member is removed after the adjustment, the surface runout is likely to occur even if it is coupled to the mounting flange in the same manner. Since the surface runout adjustment is performed so that the runout width becomes extremely small, a slight assembling error when removing and re-joining once greatly affects the runout width. When the combination of the mounting flange and the brake rotating member is changed or the phase of the combination is changed, the above-described deflection width is considerably increased. Therefore, it is necessary to deliver the brake rotating member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit from the standpoint of preventing judder from the standpoint of preventing judder. Performance will be improved.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the case of the conventional structure described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-227132 as described above, a coupling screw is used to couple the rotor to the rolling bearing unit. Machining work is required. That is, an operation of machining the screw hole for the screw separately from the mounting hole for the stud in the mounting flange constituting the rolling bearing unit, and the screw through hole for the rotor separately from the through hole for the stud, respectively. Is required. Thus, an increase in the work for coupling the rotor to the rolling bearing unit is not preferable because the manufacturing cost of the braking rotary member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit increases.
[0011]
On the other hand, in order to connect the rotor to the mounting flange, only the rotor is supported on the mounting flange, and the nut is screwed onto the stud without supporting the wheel, so that only the rotor is mounted on the mounting flange. It can be fixed and transported from the parts factory to the car assembly factory. In this way, it is not necessary to use a screw for coupling the rotor and the mounting flange as in the structure of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-227132. Disappears. However, in this way, when assembling the wheel at the automobile assembly factory, it is necessary to first remove the nut and then install the wheel, and then screw the nut into the stud again. It becomes troublesome.
In view of the circumstances as described above, the present invention is a braking rotating member that does not bother the work in an automobile assembly plant, has a low manufacturing cost, and has high performance for preventing vibration and noise during braking. And a rolling bearing unit with wheels .
[0012]

[0013]
In particular, at the braking rotary member and the rolling bearing unit with wheels of the present invention, the side surface of the mounting flange of the braking rotating member By loosely inserted through the respective studs to each through hole of the brake rotating body In such a state, an elastic member having a distal end smaller in diameter than the proximal end is externally fitted to at least one of the studs, and the distal end of the elastic member is attached to the at least one stud. with locking of the intermediate portion of the stud, resiliently against the peripheral portion of the portion in the through hole of the opposite side with the mounting flange of the side surface of the elastic member rotating member for the braking proximal portion of By contacting the brake rotating member, the brake rotating member is connected to the mounting flange without separation. Further, a bulging portion that bulges in the opposite direction to the mounting flange is formed in a portion where each through hole of the wheel exists, or each of the braking rotary members on the side surface opposite to the mounting flange. By providing a recess around the through hole, the elastic member is prevented from interfering with the wheel in a state where the wheel is assembled on the side opposite to the mounting flange of the braking rotary member.
[0014]
[Action]
The rolling member for braking and the rolling bearing unit with wheels of the present invention are the same as the conventional structure described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-227132 described above. It can be delivered to an automobile assembly plant with the rotating members connected. As a result, it is possible to provide a braking rotary member and a rolling bearing unit with wheels that have high performance to prevent vibration and noise during braking, and reduce the number of steps for assembling the vehicle and improve the productivity of the vehicle. I can do things.
[0015]
In particular, in the case of the present invention, in order to couple the brake rotating member to the mounting flange, screw holes and through holes other than those originally required for stud insertion are processed in the brake rotating member and the mounting flange. Thus, the manufacturing cost of the braking rotating member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit can be reduced. In addition, since the elastic member is prevented from interfering with the wheel in a state where the wheel is assembled on the side opposite to the mounting flange of the braking rotating member , the wheel is held with the elastic member being locked to the stud. It can be assembled, and the work at the automobile assembly plant is not troublesome.
[0016]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 and 2 show a first example of an embodiment of the present invention. The feature of the present invention lies in the structure in which the rolling bearing unit 5 and the rotor 2 as a braking rotating member are coupled. In the case of braking the rotary member and the rolling bearing unit with wheels of this embodiment, the crimped portion 26 formed on the inner end portion of the hub 8 By suppressing the inner end face of the inner ring 16, there is ensured the captive of the inner ring 16 The balls 17 and 17 are preloaded. Since the configuration and operation of the other parts are the same as those of the conventional structure shown in FIG. 5 described above, the explanation for the equivalent parts will be omitted or simplified, and the following will focus on the characteristic parts of the present invention.
[0017]
In the case of the braking rotating member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit of this example, the rotor 2 is coupled to the mounting flange 13 by the stud 9 and the coil spring 28 which is an elastic member described in the claims. For this purpose, a plurality of studs 9 supported by press-fitting and fixing serration portions provided at the base end portions (right end portions) to the mounting holes 27 formed at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of the mounting flange 13 are provided. The rotor 2 is loosely inserted into through holes 24 formed at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction. In the state where the rotor 2 is supported on the outer surface of the mounting flange 13 in this manner, the diameter of the distal end portion is larger than the diameter of the proximal end portion at the intermediate portion of at least one of the studs 9. The coil spring 28 having a small length is externally fitted. Then, the distal end portion (left end portion) of the coil spring 28 is locked to the intermediate base end side of the male screw portion 29, and the proximal end portion (right end portion) of the coil spring 28 is connected to the outer surface of the rotor 2. Is partly elastically in contact with the peripheral portion of the through hole 24. With this structure, the stud 9 is prevented from coming out of the through hole 24 , so that the rotor 2 is coupled to the mounting flange 13 without separation.
[0018]
The coil spring 28 is formed by winding a wire such as spring steel (SUP) or a spring oil temper wire (SWO) in a spiral shape so that the diameter increases from the distal end toward the proximal end. And the diameter of the front-end | tip part of the coil spring 28 in a free state is made smaller than the outer diameter of the said external thread part 29. FIG. Further, the diameter of the wire constituting the coil spring 28 is made small enough to fit a part of the wire in the groove of the male screw portion 29. For this reason, the tip end portion of the coil spring 28 is locked in the thread groove of the male screw portion 29, and the stud spring 9 does not move in the axial direction with the force applied during transportation. Since the thread groove of the male thread portion 29 is spiral, the tip of the coil spring 28 is locked along the spiral thread groove. In order to externally fit such a coil spring 28 to the male screw portion 29, the distal end portion of the coil spring 28 is elastically expanded from the outer diameter of the male screw portion 29, and the axial direction of the male screw portion 29 is illustrated in FIG. From the left side to the right side, the coil spring 28 is pushed in until it comes into contact with the outer surface of the rotor 2. Further, the distal end portion of the coil spring 28 is locked to a part of the male screw portion 29 in a state where the outer surface of the rotor 2 is pressed by the elastic force of the coil spring 28.
[0019]
The rotor 2 can be coupled to the mounting flange 13 even if only one stud 9 is fitted around the coil spring 28. Preferably, the coil spring 28 is attached to a plurality of studs 9 (2 to 3). Fit outside. For example, in the case of a rolling bearing unit in which four studs are supported, the coil springs 28 may be externally fitted in two places so that the positions of the studs 9 for externally fitting the coil springs 28 are on the opposite side in the radial direction. preferable. Since the coupling of the rotor 2 to the mounting flange 13 by the coil spring of this example only serves as a temporary stop until delivery to the automobile assembly factory, it is necessary to externally fit the coil spring 28 to all the studs 9. However, it does not matter if it is externally fitted to all the studs 9.
[0020]
The brake rotating member and the rolling bearing unit with wheels of this example are configured as described above, and are configured to be delivered to the automobile assembly plant with the mounting flange 13 and the rotor 2 adjusted for surface runout being coupled. That is, the adjustment of the surface run-out is performed by fixing the mounting flange 13 and the rotor 2 with a jig or the like while the rotor 2 is coupled to the outer surface of the mounting flange 13 by the stud 9 and the coil spring 28 as described above. Then, by turning the surface where the pad lining of the rotor 2 is in sliding contact, the runout width of this surface is made extremely small. Therefore, even after the adjustment of the surface runout is completed, even if the mounting flange 13 and the rotor 2 are removed from the jig, the mounting flange 13 and the rotor 2 remain coupled by the stud 9 and the coil spring 28. It can be delivered to the automobile assembly plant in this state. For this reason, it is possible to provide a rotating member for braking and a rolling bearing unit with a wheel that can prevent vibration and noise from being generated during braking, and reduce the assembly work process at the automobile assembly plant, thereby improving the productivity of the automobile. Can be improved.
[0021]
In particular, in the case of this example, the rotor 2 is coupled to the mounting flange 13 by the stud 9 and the coil spring 28 as described above. For this reason, in order to couple the rotor 2 to the mounting flange 13, it is necessary to work on screw holes and through holes other than those originally necessary for inserting the stud 9 into the rotor 2 and the mounting flange 13. Thus, the manufacturing cost of the rolling bearing unit with a braking rotating member can be reduced. Further, the operation of fitting the coil spring 28 to the male screw portion 29 can be performed more easily than the operation of tightening the fixing screw because it is only necessary to push the coil spring 28 into the male screw portion 29.
[0022]
Also, FIG. 2 shows a state assembled with the wheel 1 in the rolling bearing unit 5 combines the rotor 2 as described above. As shown in FIG. 5, the wheel 1 is formed by pressing a steel plate. Through holes 25 are provided at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of the mounting plate portion 23, and the through holes 25 are present. A substantially truncated cone-shaped bulged portion 30 is formed in a portion that bulges on the opposite side of the mounting flange 13 (left side in FIG. 2) . In addition, the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 25 is a conical concave surface inclined in a direction in which the diameter decreases from the outer side toward the inner side in the axial direction, and is engaged with a conical convex surface provided on the nut 10 side that is screwed into the stud 9. The alignment surface is matched. Such a wheel 1 is supported on the outer surface of the rotor 2 with the stud 9 inserted through the through hole 25. Then, the nut 10 is screwed into the male thread portion 29 of the stud 9 and further tightened, whereby the wheel 1 is coupled and fixed to the rolling bearing unit 5.
[0023]
In the case of this example, when the wheel 1 is assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5, it is not necessary to remove the coil spring 28 fitted on the stud 9. That is, the coil spring 28 bulges between the inner surface of the mounting plate portion 23 of the wheel 1 and the outer surface of the rotor 2 as shown in the figure in a state where the wheel 1 is assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5. It will be located in the space 31 enclosed by the part 30. FIG. For this reason, the coil spring 28 does not interfere with a part of the wheel 1, and the coil spring 28 does not interfere with the assembly of the wheel 1 to the rolling bearing unit 5 . Therefore , the wheel 1 can be assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5 to which the rotor 2 is fixed while the coil spring 28 is externally fitted to the stud 9, so that the work at the automobile assembly plant is not troublesome. .
[0024]
Next, FIGS. 3 to 4 show a second example of the embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a disc spring 32 is used as the elastic member in place of the coil spring 28 of the first example described above. The disc spring 32 is formed by punching a steel plate such as SK5 into a fan shape and bending it into a conical shape. That is, the disc spring 32 has a partial cone whose diameter increases from the distal end (left end in FIG. 3, upper end in FIG. 4) to the base end (right end in FIG. 3, lower end in FIG. 4). It is in the shape. Further, a discontinuous portion 33 exists in a part of the side surface of the disc leaf spring 32. That is, in a state where the fan-shaped plate material is processed into a conical shape, the gaps exist between the end portions without joining the end portions of the plate materials by welding or the like. Due to the discontinuous portion 33, the plate spring 32 can be elastically deformed in the radial direction. Further, the inner diameter in the free state of the tip portion of the disc spring 32 is made smaller than the outer diameter of the male thread portion 29 of the stud 9. In this example, circular recesses 34 are provided on the outer surface of the rotor 2 around the plurality of through holes 24 so as to be concentric with the through holes 24.
[0025]
Also in the case of this example, as in the first example described above, the distal end portion of the disc spring 32 is locked to the proximal end side of the middle threaded portion 29 of the stud 9, and the proximal end portion is attached to the outside of the rotor 2. It is elastically brought into contact with the concave portion 34 formed on the side surface. That is, the disc spring 32 is illustrated in the axial direction of the male screw portion 29 while elastically expanding the inner diameter of the tip portion of the disc plate spring 32 to be larger than the outer diameter of the male screw portion 29. Then, the base edge of the disc spring 32 is elastically brought into contact with the inner part of the recess 34. In this state, the tip of the disc spring 32 is locked to a part of the male screw portion 29 at the intermediate portion of the stud 9. In order to securely lock the disc spring 32 to the male screw portion 29, it is preferable that the inner peripheral edge of the tip portion of the disc spring 32 is along a spiral thread groove. Since the discontinuous portion 33 is provided on the side surface of the disc spring 32, the inner peripheral edge of the tip portion of the disc spring 32 can be along the screw groove.
[0026]
Further, in this example, by providing the recess 34, the wheel 1 and the disc spring 32 are connected to each other with the wheel 1 (see FIGS. 2 and 5) assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5 to which the rotor 2 is fixed. I try not to interfere. In other words, the concave plate 34 is provided so that the plate spring 32 does not interfere with the assembly of the wheel even when an aluminum wheel or the like that does not have the bulging portion 30 (FIG. 2) is assembled. Therefore, regardless of the structure of the wheel, the wheel can be assembled to the rolling bearing unit 5 to which the rotor 2 is fixed while the disc spring 32 is locked to the stud 9. Such a structure in which the concave portion 34 is provided can be combined with the structure using the coil spring 28 shown in FIGS. Other structures and operations are the same as those in the first example described above.
[0027]
In the first and second examples of the embodiment of the present invention described above, an example in which a rotor is used as a brake rotating member is shown. However, in the present invention, a drum is used as a brake rotating member. It can also be applied to. In the first and second examples described above, the braking rotating member for driving wheels and the rolling bearing unit with wheels have been described. However, the present invention relates to driven wheels (front wheels of FR and RR vehicles, rear wheels of FF vehicles). The present invention can also be applied to a braking rotary member for a wheel and a rolling bearing unit with a wheel .
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
Since the braking rotating member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit of the present invention are configured and act as described above, the braking rotating member and the wheeled rolling bearing unit excellent in performance of suppressing vibration and noise generated during braking, In addition, the manufacturing cost of an automobile incorporating the same can be reduced.
