【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車両のブレーキ装置にブレーキ液を供給するマスタシリンダおよびマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
車両のブレーキ装置にブレーキ液を供給するマスタシリンダの従来のものとして、ブレーキ液の吐出路とリザーバに連通する補給路とを有する有底筒状のシリンダ本体と、このシリンダ本体内に摺動可能に挿入され、シリンダ本体との間で吐出路に液圧を供給する圧力室を形成するピストンと、シリンダ本体に形成された周溝内に格納され内周がピストンに摺接して補給路とシリンダ本体の外部との間を密封可能な口元シール部材とを有するものがあり、特に、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時に前記した口元シール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するために周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を形成したものがある(例えば、特許文献1)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開2003−25980号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、上記のように、周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を形成するためには、当然、この溝部の分の加工工数が増加し、加工コストが増大してしまうという問題があった。
【0005】
したがって、本発明は、加工工数を増加させることなく、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止することができるマスタシリンダおよびマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法の提供を目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、請求項1に係る発明は、作動液の吐出路とリザーバに連通する補給路とを有する有底筒状のシリンダ本体と、該シリンダ本体内に摺動可能に挿入され、該シリンダ本体との間で前記吐出路へ液圧を供給する圧力室を形成するピストンと、前記シリンダ本体の開口部側に前記シリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹んで形成された周溝内に格納され内周が前記ピストンに摺接して前記補給路と前記シリンダ本体の外部とを画成するシール部材とを有するマスタシリンダにおいて、前記シリンダ本体には、前記周溝よりも底部側に該シリンダ本体と一部材となった壁部で区画されて前記シリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝として形成される補給室が設けられ、前記補給路には、前記補給室と前記リザーバとを連通し前記シリンダ孔の軸に対し斜めに形成される断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴が設けられ、前記シリンダ本体の前記周溝と前記補給路とは、一側が前記周溝の壁部から該周溝に開口し他側が前記開口溝の壁部から該開口溝に開口する溝部により連通され、該溝部、前記補給室と前記リザーバとを連通する前記連通穴と同心で軸直交断面が円弧状に形成されていることを特徴としている。
【0007】
このように、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部が、補給路における、シリンダ本体のシリンダ孔とリザーバとを連通しシリンダ孔の軸に対し斜めに形成される断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴と同心で、軸直交断面が円弧状をなして、周溝と周溝よりも底部側でシリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝として形成される補給室との間のシリンダ本体と一部材となった壁部に、一側が周溝の壁部から該周溝に開口し他側が開口溝の壁部から開口溝に開口して形成されているため、溝部を連通穴と同一工具による同一加工で形成することができ、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。
【0008】
請求項2に係る発明は、ピストンが摺動可能に挿入されて圧力室を形成するためのシリンダ孔に、前記圧力室に作動液を補給すべく前記シリンダ孔とリザーバとを連通する補給路と、該補給路に設けられシリンダ本体のシリンダ孔と前記リザーバとを連通し前記シリンダ孔の軸に対し斜めに形成される断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴と、前記シリンダ孔の開口側に前記補給路と前記シリンダ孔の外部とを画成するシール部材が格納される周溝と、該周溝よりも底部側に前記シリンダ本体と一部材となった壁部で区画されて前記シリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝からなり前記補給路が開口する補給室とを形成するマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法であって、一側が前記周溝の壁部から該周溝に開口し他側が前記開口溝の壁部から該開口溝に開口して前記周溝と前記補給路とを連通させる溝部を前記連通穴と同一工具による同一加工で軸直交断面を円弧状に形成してなることを特徴としている。
【0009】
このように、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のマスタシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにマスタシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を、周溝と周溝よりも底部側でシリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝として形成される補給室との間のシリンダ本体と一部材となった壁部に、一側が周溝の壁部から該周溝に開口し他側が開口溝の壁部から該開口溝に開口して、補給路に設けられシリンダ本体のシリンダ孔とリザーバとを連通しシリンダ孔の軸に対し斜めに形成される断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴と同一工具による同一加工で、軸直交断面を円弧状に形成するため、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の一実施形態のマスタシリンダおよびマスタシリンダ本体の加工方法を図1〜図3を参照して説明する。
【0011】
図1中符号11は、図示せぬブレーキブースタを介して導入されるブレーキペダルの操作量に応じた力で図示せぬブレーキ装置を作動させるためのブレーキ液圧を発生させるマスタシリンダを示しており、このマスタシリンダ11には、その上側にブレーキ液を給排するリザーバ12が取り付けられている。
【0012】
マスタシリンダ11は、底部13と筒部14とを有する有底筒状に一つの素材から加工されて形成されるとともに横方向に沿う姿勢で車両に配置されるシリンダ本体(マスタシリンダ本体)15と、このシリンダ本体15の開口部16側(図1における右側)から底部13、筒部14の内側に形成されるシリンダ孔17に摺動可能に挿入されるプライマリピストン(ピストン)18と、シリンダ本体15のプライマリピストン18よりも底部13側(図1における左側)に摺動自在に挿入される図示せぬセカンダリピストンとを有するタンデムタイプのものである。なお、プライマリピストン18およびセカンダリピストンは、シリンダ本体15の筒部14の軸線(以下、シリンダ軸と称す)に直交する断面が円形状のシリンダ孔17の摺動内径部20に摺動可能に案内される。なお、本実施形態の要部はプライマリピストン18側であるので、以下、プライマリピストン18側を中心に説明する。
【0013】
シリンダ本体15には、筒部14の径方向(以下、シリンダ径方向と称す)の外側に突出しかつシリンダ軸方向に延在する取付台部22が筒部14の円周方向(以下、シリンダ円周方向と称す)における所定位置に一体に形成されており、リザーバ12を取り付けるとともリザーバ12とシリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17とを連通させるための取付穴23が、取付台部22におけるシリンダ本体15の開口部16側にシリンダ径方向に沿って形成されている。加えて、シリンダ本体15には、開口部16側にブレーキブースタを取り付けるための取付フランジ部24がシリンダ径方向外側に突出形成されている。
【0014】
シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17の開口部16側の摺動内径部20には、シリンダ軸方向における位置をずらして複数具体的には二カ所のシール周溝25(周溝)およびシール周溝26が開口部16側から順に形成されている。これらシール周溝25,26は、シリンダ円周方向に環状をなしてシリンダ径方向外側に凹む形状をなしている。
【0015】
そして、シール周溝25に環状の区画シール(シール部材)28が嵌合されており、シール周溝26に環状のピストンシール29が嵌合されている。
【0016】
ピストンシール29は、C字状断面を有するカップシールであり、底部13側に断面形状における開口側を配置した状態でシール周溝26に取り付けられる。シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17には、摺動内径部20よりもシリンダ径方向外側に凹むとともに一端側がシール周溝26内に開口し他端側がシリンダ底部13側に延びる連通溝31が形成されている。この連通溝31は、図示せぬブレーキ装置に作動液を供給するプライマリ吐出路(吐出路)30に連通している。
【0017】
区画シール28も、C字状断面を有するカップシールであり、底部13側に断面形状における開口側を配置した状態でシール周溝25に取り付けられる。ここで、シール周溝25は、シール周溝26側の壁部25aが、開口部16側に向かうにしたがって拡径するテーパ形状をなしている。また、シール周溝25は、溝底部25bがシリンダ軸方向に沿っており、開口部16側の壁部25cがシリンダ径方向に沿っている。
【0018】
シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17におけるシール周溝25とシール周溝26との間には、筒部14の摺動内径部20からシリンダ径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝33が形成されている。この開口溝33は、シール周溝26側の壁部33aが開口部16側に向かうにしたがって拡径するテーパ形状をなしており、溝底部33bがシリンダ軸方向に沿っており、シール周溝25側の壁部33cがシリンダ径方向に沿っている。
【0019】
そして、本実施形態において、シリンダ本体15には、シリンダ孔17の開口溝33とリザーバ12側の取付穴23とを連通させる断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴35がシリンダ軸に対し斜めに形成されている。この連通穴35は、開口溝33の溝底部33bのシリンダ軸方向における全長にわたり開口しており、開口溝33の壁部33aの一部にも開口している。また、連通穴35は、その取付穴23に対し反対側の延長線が、開口溝33の壁部33cに交差し開口部16の内側を通ってシリンダ本体15の外に延びるように形成されている。
【0020】
なお、この連通穴35は、シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17とリザーバ12とを連通可能に結ぶとともにリザーバ12に常時連通するプライマリ補給路(補給路)を構成している。また、この連通穴35に連通する開口溝33は、シリンダ本体15とリザーバRとを連通可能に結ぶとともにリザーバRに常時連通するプライマリ補給室を構成している。
【0021】
加えて、本実施形態において、シリンダ本体15には、一側が壁部25aからシール周溝25内に開口するとともに逆側が壁部33cから開口溝33内に開口することでシール周溝25と開口溝33および連通穴35とを連通させる溝部36が形成されている。この溝部36は、プライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35と同心で形成されており、しかも、軸直交断面が連通穴35と同径の円弧状をなしていて、連通穴35のシリンダ軸方向における開口部16側の一部と連続する形状をなしている。
【0022】
ここで、このように連通穴35と溝部36とは、同径をなして同心でシリンダ本体15に形成される構造となっているため、図3に示すように、開口部16の内側からシリンダ本体15内に挿入される直線形状の同一の工具であるドリル38によって加工中ストローク位置のみが変更される同一加工で形成される。つまり、ドリル38が前進のストローク量を徐々に大きくすることで開口部16の内側を通って溝部36を形成し、続けて連通穴35を形成するのである。なお、段付きドリルを用いれば、溝部36を、連通穴35と同心上において軸直交断面が連通穴35より大径の円弧状に形成することも可能である。また、取付穴23側からドリル38を挿入し、ドリル38の前進のストローク量を大きくすることで連通穴35を形成し、続けて溝部36を形成するようにしても良い。
【0023】
図1に示すように、シリンダ本体15のシリンダ孔17の開口部16側に嵌合されるプライマリピストン18は、第1円筒部40と、第1円筒部40の軸線方向における一側に形成された底部41と、底部41の第1円筒部40に対し反対側に形成された第2円筒部42とを有する形状をなしており、その第1円筒部40をシリンダ本体15の底部13側に配置した状態でシリンダ本体15内に挿入されている。ここで、第2円筒部42の内側には図示せぬブレーキブースタの出力軸が挿入され、この出力軸が底部41を押圧する。
【0024】
第1円筒部40の底部41に対し反対側の端部の外周側は、他の部分よりも径が若干小さい環状の凹部43が形成されている。さらに、第1円筒部40の凹部43には、その底部41側に径方向に貫通するポート44が複数放射状に形成されている。
【0025】
ここで、シリンダ本体15の筒部14の開口部16側とプライマリピストン18と図示せぬセカンダリピストンとで囲まれた部分が、プライマリ吐出路30に液圧を供給するプライマリ圧力室(圧力室)45となっており、このプライマリ圧力室45は、プライマリピストン18がポート44を開口溝33に開口させる位置にあるとき、プライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35に連通する。
【0026】
シリンダ本体15のシール周溝26に設けられたピストンシール29は、内周がプライマリピストン18の外周側に摺接することになり、プライマリピストン18がポート44をピストンシール29よりも底部13側に位置させた状態では、プライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35とプライマリ圧力室45との間を密封可能、つまり、プライマリ圧力室45とリザーバ12との連通を遮断可能となっている。
【0027】
ここで、ピストンシール45は、プライマリ圧力室45の液圧がリザーバ12の液圧(つまり大気圧)より高くなると、プライマリ圧力室45とリザーバ12との連通を遮断することになり、この状態でプライマリピストン18が底部13側に移動すると、プライマリ圧力室45からプライマリ吐出路30を介してブレーキ装置に液圧が供給される。一方、プライマリ圧力室45の液圧がリザーバ12の液圧より小さくなると、ピストンシール45は、プライマリ圧力室45とリザーバ12とを連通させてプライマリ圧力室45への液補給を行う。
【0028】
シール周溝25に設けられた区画シール28は、プライマリピストン18に摺接してプライマリ圧力室45つまりシリンダ孔17と外気つまりシリンダ本体15の外部とを画成する。
【0029】
なお、図1において符号47で示すものは、図示せぬセカンダリピストンとプライマリピストン18との間に設けられ、図示せぬブレーキペダル側(図1における右側)から入力がない初期状態でこれらの間隔を決める間隔調整部である。
【0030】
そして、以上のマスタシリンダ11は、組み立てられた状態で内部が真空引きされ、この真空圧によって作動液が内部に充填されることになるが、このとき、区画シール28が配置されるシール周溝25は溝部36でプライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35に常時連通しているため、真空圧で区画シール28がシリンダ本体15側へ吸い付いてしまうことが防止される。
【0031】
以上に述べた本実施形態によれば、マスタシリンダ11への作動液の真空充填時に区画シール28のシリンダ本体15への吸い付きを防止するためにシリンダ本体15のシール周溝25とプライマリ補給路を構成する連通穴35とを連通させる溝部36が、連通穴35と同心で形成されているため、溝部36を連通穴35と同一工具による同一加工で形成することができ、溝部36を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。したがって、加工工数を増加させることなく区画シール28のシリンダ本体15への吸い付きを防止することができる。
【0032】
また、上記のように、シール周溝25と連通穴35とを連通させる溝部36を連通穴35と同一工具による同一加工で形成することから、シール周溝25をシリンダ軸方向において連通穴35側に寄せることになり、その結果、シリンダ本体15の軸方向長さを短くすることができる。特に、シリンダ本体15の取付フランジ部24から開口部16側の端部までの距離L1を短くできる。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項1に係る発明によれば、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させるシリンダ本体と一部材となった溝部が、補給路における、シリンダ本体のシリンダ孔とリザーバとを連通しシリンダ孔の軸に対し斜めに形成される断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴と同心で、軸直交断面が円弧状をなして、周溝と周溝よりも底部側でシリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝として形成される補給室との間の壁部に、一側が周溝の壁部から該周溝に開口し他側が開口溝の壁部から開口溝に開口して形成されているため、溝部を連通穴と同一工具による同一加工で形成することができ、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。したがって、加工工数を増加させることなくシール部材のシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止することができる。
【0034】
請求項2に係る発明によれば、マスタシリンダへの作動液の真空充填時にシール部材のマスタシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止するためにマスタシリンダ本体の周溝と補給路とを連通させる溝部を、周溝と周溝よりも底部側でシリンダ本体の径方向外側に凹む環状の開口溝として形成される補給室との間のシリンダ本体と一部材となった壁部に、一側が周溝の壁部から該周溝に開口し他側が開口溝の壁部から該開口溝に開口して、補給路に設けられシリンダ本体のシリンダ孔とリザーバとを連通しシリンダ孔の軸に対し斜めに形成される断面円形で直線状に延びる連通穴と同一工具による同一加工で、軸直交断面を円弧状に形成するため、溝部を単独で形成する必要がなくなる。したがって、加工工数を増加させることなくシール部材のマスタシリンダ本体への吸い付きを防止することができる。
