Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stabilize the shape of a caulked part by specifying the shape of an outside diameter end face of the caulked part. SOLUTION: In a bearing device A in which a rolling bearing 2 is prevented from slipping off and fixed by rolling-caulking a free end side of a shaft body 1 with the rolling bearing 2 fitted thereto, an outside diameter end face of a caulked part 3 is formed to be a flat surface approximately parallel to the axis of the shaft body 1. Since the outside diameter of the caulked part 3 can be controlled thereby, the interference of the caulked part 3 with an adjacent member at, for example, a place where the bearing device A is used, can be avoided.

Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、軸体に転がり軸受を装着してなる軸受装置の製造方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種の軸受装置の一例として、図６に示すような車両用ハブユニットがある。
【０００３】
図例の車両用ハブユニットＢは、軸体としてのハブホイール８０の軸部８１に複列外向きアンギュラ玉軸受８２を外嵌装着し、この軸部８１の自由端をローリングかしめにより径方向外向きに膨出変形させて、この膨出変形したかしめ部８５を軸受８２の内輪８４の外端面に対して押し付けることによってハブホイール８０に軸受８２を抜け止め固定するようになっている。
【０００４】
なお、上記ハブホイール８０の軸部８１は、かしめ前において、図７中の仮想線で示すように、軸部８１の自由端側に円筒形部分を設けた形状になっており、この円筒形部分を図８に示すようなかしめ治具９０を用いてローリングかしめする。このとき、かしめ治具９０の先端を軸部８１にあてがい、かしめ治具９０を一点鎖線Ｏ回りにローリングさせる。これにより、軸部８１の円筒形部分が径方向外向きに膨出変形されることになり、この膨出変形したかしめ部８５により内輪８４が抜け止めされるようになる。
【０００５】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来例では、かしめ部８５の外端面が丸みを帯びた曲面に形成されているとともに、このかしめ部８５の外径側端面がハブホイール８０の軸線Ｊに対して傾斜する斜面に形成されている。
【０００６】
ところで、前述のかしめ部８５の外径側端面の形状は、特に管理していないので、かしめ作業ごとに、かしめ部８５の外径側端面の傾き角度がばらつくことがあり、かしめ部８５の外径寸法Ｄが製品ごとに不揃いになりやすい。
【０００７】
このようにかしめ部８５の外径寸法Ｄを管理していなければ、かしめ部８５が車両用ハブユットＢの使用場所において近隣の部材に対して干渉するおそれがある。ここに改良の余地がある。
【０００８】
したがって、本発明は、軸受装置の製造方法において、かしめ部の形状安定性を図ることを目的とする。
【０００９】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１の発明に係る軸受装置の製造方法は、軸体に転がり軸受を外嵌装着し、この軸体の自由端側をローリングかしめにより径方向外向きに膨出変形させて、この膨出変形したかしめ部を転がり軸受の内輪の外端面に対して押し付けることによって軸体に転がり軸受を抜け止め固定した軸受装置の製造方法であって、前記軸体のかしめ前において、前記軸体の自由端側に円筒形部を設けるとともに、この円筒形部の外径側端縁と内径側端縁とにテーパ状の面取りを形成し、次に、前記円筒形部を径方向外向きに変形させて前記内輪の外端面に対して押し付けてかしめ部を形成し、前記かしめ部の外径側端面を軸体の軸線とほぼ平行な平坦面に形成した。
【００１０】
請求項２の発明に係る軸受装置の製造方法は、請求項１に記載の軸受装置の製造方法において、前記円筒形部の変形過程においては、先ず、前記円筒形部の端面と外径側のテーパ状の面取りとが面一になり、続いて、先に面一になった平坦面と内径側のテーパ状の面取りとが面一になりつつ、内輪の外端面に対して押し付けられる。
請求項３の発明に係る軸受装置の製造方法は、請求項１または２に記載の軸受装置の製造方法において、前記円筒形部の外径側端縁と内径側端縁とに形成されたテーパ状の面取りの角度を管理することにより、前記かしめ部の外径側端面を軸端の軸線とほぼ平行な平坦面に形成した。
【００１１】
このような発明の構成では、要するに、かしめ部の外径側端面を軸体の軸線とほぼ平行な平坦面に形成している。これにより、かしめ部の外径寸法を管理しやすくなるので、本発明にかかる軸受装置の製造方法で製造された軸受装置のかしめ部をその軸受装置の使用場所において近隣の部材に対して干渉させないようにする場合に有利になる。
【００１２】
また、かしめ前の軸体の自由端形状を工夫すれば、ローリングかしめを行うだけで前述した形状のかしめ部を得ることが可能になり、余分な工程を増やす必要がなくなる。
【００１３】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の詳細を図面に示す実施形態に基づいて説明する。ここでは、軸受装置として車両用ハブユニットを例に挙げる。
【００１４】
図１ないし図４は本発明の一実施形態にかかり、図１は、車両用ハブユニットの縦断側面図、図２は、かしめ部の拡大図、図３は、軸体のかしめ前の状態を示す側面図、図４は、かしめ形態を説明するための工程図である。
【００１５】
図中、Ａは軸受装置としての車両用ハブユニットの全体を示しており、１は軸体としてのハブホイール、２は転がり軸受としての複列外向きアンギュラ玉軸受、３はかしめ部である。
【００１６】
ハブホイール１は、図示しない車輪が取り付けられる環状板部１１と、複列外向きアンギュラ玉軸受２が外装されるとともに、軸端に複列外向きアンギュラ玉軸受２を固定するためのかしめ部３が形成される軸部１２とを備えている。
【００１７】
複列外向きアンギュラ玉軸受２は、軸部１２の小径外周面１２ａに外嵌される単一軌道を有する内輪２１と、二列の軌道溝を有する単一の外輪２２と、二列で配設される複数の玉２３と、二つの冠形保持器２４，２５とを備えており、前述のハブホイール１の軸部１２の大径外周面１２ｂを一方内輪とする構成になっている。なお、外輪２２の外周には、径方向外向きのフランジ２６が設けられており、このフランジ２６を介して図示しない車軸ケースなどに非回転に取り付けられる。
【００１８】
この実施形態では、ハブホイール１の軸部１２のかしめ部３の外径側端面の形状に特徴がある。
【００１９】
つまり、かしめ部３の外径側端面の形状は、図２に示すように、ハブホイール１の軸線Ｊとほぼ平行な平坦面に形成されている。このようなかしめ部３を得るためには、図３に示すように、かしめ前においてハブホイール１の軸部１２の自由端側に円筒形部分１２ｃを設け、この円筒形部分１２ｃの外径側端縁と内径側端縁とにテーパ状の面取り１２ｄ，１２ｅを形成している。
【００２０】
なお、前述の面取り１２ｄ，１２ｅは、その軸方向幅Ｗと、面取り角度θ１，θ２とが軸部１２の円筒形部分１２ｃの厚み寸法に応じて適宜設定される。
【００２１】
このようなハブホイール１の軸部１２の小径外周面１２ａに対して内輪２１を圧入により外嵌装着してから、軸部１２の円筒形部分１２ｃを、従来技術での説明に利用した図８に示すようなかしめ治具９０を用いてローリングかしめする。このとき、かしめ治具９０の先端を軸部１２の円筒形部分１２ｃにあてがい、かしめ治具９０を一点鎖線Ｏ回りにローリングさせる。これにより、軸部１２の円筒形部分１２ｃが径方向外向きに膨出変形されることになり、この膨出変形したかしめ部３により内輪２１が抜け止めされるようになる。
【００２２】
このローリングかしめによる円筒形部分１２ｃの膨出変形過程で、まず、図４（ａ）に示すように、円筒形部分１２ｃの端面と外径側面取り１２ｄとが面一になり、続いて、図４（ｂ）に示すように、先に面一になった平坦面と内径側面取り１２ｅとが面一になりつつ、内輪２１の外端面に対して押し付けられることになる。ここで、本実施形態と従来例とについて、かしめ前の円筒形部分１２ｃの軸方向寸法を同一とした場合、図４（ｂ）中の実線と一点鎖線とで示すように、本実施形態のかしめ部３の外径側端面の径方向位置が、一点鎖線で示す従来例のかしめ部の外径側端面の径方向位置よりも径方向外側に位置するようになる。この場合、実質的に、内輪２１を押し付けているかしめ長さが従来例に比べてΔＬだけ長くなるので、曲げモーメントに対し有利になる。
【００２３】
以上説明したように、かしめ部３の外径側端面の形状を平坦にするようにすれば、かしめ部３の外径寸法Ｄを高精度に管理できるようになるとともに、かしめ部３の外形形状を安定にできるようになる。これにより、ハブユニットＡの使用場所において近隣の部材に対してかしめ部３が干渉することを避けるようにできる他、抜け抗力を安定して確保できるようになって信頼性向上に貢献できるようになる。
【００２４】
なお、本発明は上記実施形態のみに限定されるものではなく、種々な応用や変形が考えられる。
【００２５】
（１） 上記実施形態では、軸受装置として車両の特に従動輪用のハブユニットを例に挙げたが、図５に示すような駆動輪用のハブユニットとしたり、あるいは自動車などのスライドドアのガイドローラならびにその他の軸受装置全般とすることができる。なお、図５では、軸体１の中空部分にドライブシャフト４をスプライン嵌合して、ナット５で結合している。
【００２６】
【発明の効果】
請求項１および２の発明では、かしめ部の外径側端面の形状を特定することにより、かしめ部の外径寸法を管理できるように工夫しているので、例えば本発明にかかる軸受装置の使用場所において近隣の部材にかしめ部が干渉することを回避できるようになる。
【００２７】
特に、請求項２の発明のように、かしめ前の軸体の自由端側形状を工夫すれば、ローリングかしめを行うだけで前述した形状のかしめ部を得ることができるので、余分な工程を増やす必要がなくなり、製造コストを抑制するうえで有利となる。

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a bearing device manufacturing method according to the first aspect of the present invention, in the process of deforming the cylindrical portion, first the end surface of the cylindrical portion and the outer diameter side of the cylindrical portion. The tapered chamfer is flush with the flat surface, and then the flat surface and the tapered chamfer on the inner diameter side are pressed against the outer end surface of the inner ring while being flush with each other.
A method for manufacturing a bearing device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the method for manufacturing a bearing device according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the taper is formed on an outer diameter side edge and an inner diameter side edge of the cylindrical portion. By controlling the angle of the chamfered shape, the outer diameter side end surface of the caulking portion was formed into a flat surface substantially parallel to the axis of the shaft end.
[0011]
In the configuration of such an invention, in short, the outer diameter side end surface of the caulking portion is formed on a flat surface substantially parallel to the axis of the shaft body. As a result, the outer diameter of the caulking portion can be easily managed, so that the caulking portion of the bearing device manufactured by the method for manufacturing a bearing device according to the present invention does not interfere with neighboring members at the place where the bearing device is used. It is advantageous when doing so.
