Description

本発明は、滑り軸受を備えた軸受装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a bearing device provided with a sliding bearing.

滑り軸受(以下、単に「軸受」と称する)を備えた軸受装置は、軸受と軸部材との間の相対的な回転、摺動、もしくは摺動回転を支持する用途に広く用いられている。   BACKGROUND ART A bearing device provided with a sliding bearing (hereinafter simply referred to as “bearing”) is widely used in applications that support relative rotation, sliding, or sliding rotation between a bearing and a shaft member.

このような軸受装置として、例えば特許文献1では、樹脂成形部の軸心に電鋳加工による電鋳部をインサートして型成形した軸受部品を備えた軸受装置が提案されている。このように、軸受面となる軸受の内周面を電鋳加工で形成することにより、耐摩耗性に優れた軸受面が得られるとともに、内周に挿入される軸部材との間に形成される軸受隙間を高い精度で設定することができる。
特開2003−56552号公報
As such a bearing device, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes a bearing device including a bearing component that is molded by inserting an electroformed part formed by electroforming into an axis of a resin molded part. Thus, by forming the inner peripheral surface of the bearing serving as the bearing surface by electroforming, a bearing surface having excellent wear resistance can be obtained and formed between the shaft member inserted into the inner periphery. The bearing gap can be set with high accuracy.
JP 2003-56552 A

上記のような軸受装置が、例えば、高速回転、高回転精度が求められるHDDの磁気ディスク駆動用のスピンドルモータの回転軸支持等に用いられる場合は、軸受と軸部材との潤滑を良好にするため、油潤滑が必要となる場合がある。   When the bearing device as described above is used, for example, to support a rotating shaft of a spindle motor for driving a magnetic disk of an HDD that requires high speed rotation and high rotation accuracy, lubrication between the bearing and the shaft member is improved. Therefore, oil lubrication may be necessary.

しかし、軸受の内周面と軸部材の外周面との間の軸受隙間は、軸部材のがたつきを抑えるために、できるだけ微小な隙間幅に設定され、この軸受隙間に保持される潤滑油の量は極少量である。このため、潤滑油が飛散、蒸発などにより減少すると、潤滑油不足による潤滑不良を招き、異音の発生や、軸受と軸部材との接触摺動による部材の摩耗などの不具合が生じていた。   However, the bearing gap between the inner circumferential surface of the bearing and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft member is set to a gap width as small as possible in order to suppress the shakiness of the shaft member. The amount of is very small. For this reason, if the lubricating oil is reduced due to scattering, evaporation, etc., it causes a lubrication failure due to insufficient lubricating oil, and causes problems such as generation of abnormal noise and wear of the member due to contact sliding between the bearing and the shaft member.

本発明の課題は、軸受と軸部材との潤滑が良好で、異音の発生や部材の摩耗を防ぎ、製品寿命の長い滑り軸受を備えた軸受装置を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a bearing device having a sliding bearing with good lubrication between the bearing and the shaft member, which prevents generation of abnormal noise and wear of the member, and has a long product life.

前記課題を解決するため、本発明の軸受装置は、マスター軸の外周面に析出形成され、内周に軸受面を有する電鋳部と電鋳部を内周にインサートして成形された樹脂部と、電鋳部の内周に挿入された軸部材と、前記軸受面と軸部材の外周面との間に形成され、潤滑油で満たされた軸受隙間とを備え、前記軸受面が、ストレートな円筒面状で、かつマスター軸の表面に析出し始めた面からなる軸受装置において、前記電鋳部に隣接して配置され、前記軸受隙間に油を供給可能の油溜まりを設け、該油溜まりに大気との界面を形成することなく油を充満させ、樹脂部に電鋳部の端部を越えて軸方向に延在する部分を設け、該部分の内周面を電鋳部の外径寸法よりも大径に成形することで、軸部材の外周面に面する前記油溜まりを形成したことを特徴とする。また、本発明の軸受装置は、マスター軸の外周面に析出形成され、内周に軸受面を有する電鋳部と、電鋳部を内周にインサートして成形された樹脂部と、電鋳部の内周に挿入された軸部材と、前記軸受面と軸部材の外周面との間に形成され、潤滑油で満たされた軸受隙間とを備え、前記軸受面が、ストレートな円筒面状で、かつマスター軸の表面に析出し始めた面からなる軸受装置において、前記軸受隙間に油を供給可能の油溜まりを設け、該油溜まりに大気との界面を形成することなく油を充満させ、軸部材の外周面に、前記軸受面と対向する領域と隣接し、該領域よりも小径な小径部を設け、該小径部と電鋳部の内周面との間に前記油溜まりを形成したことを特徴とする。 To solve the above problems, a bearing device of the present invention is deposited formed on the outer peripheral surface of the master axis, and the electroformed part having a bearing surface on the inner periphery, electroformed part is molded by insert to the inner periphery of the resin Part, a shaft member inserted in the inner periphery of the electroformed part , a bearing gap formed between the bearing surface and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member, and filled with lubricating oil, the bearing surface, In a bearing device comprising a straight cylindrical surface and a surface that starts to precipitate on the surface of the master shaft, an oil sump is provided adjacent to the electroformed part and capable of supplying oil to the bearing gap. Fill the oil reservoir with oil without forming an interface with the atmosphere, and provide the resin part with a portion that extends in the axial direction beyond the end of the electroformed part, and the inner peripheral surface of the part is Forming the oil sump facing the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member by molding it to a larger diameter than the outer diameter dimension And butterflies. Further, the bearing device of the present invention includes an electroformed part formed by precipitation on the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft and having a bearing surface on the inner periphery, a resin part formed by inserting the electroformed part into the inner periphery, and electroforming A shaft member inserted in the inner periphery of the part, and a bearing gap formed between the bearing surface and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member and filled with lubricating oil, the bearing surface being a straight cylindrical surface In addition, in the bearing device having a surface that starts to precipitate on the surface of the master shaft, an oil reservoir capable of supplying oil is provided in the bearing gap, and the oil reservoir is filled with oil without forming an interface with the atmosphere. The shaft member has an outer peripheral surface adjacent to a region facing the bearing surface and provided with a small diameter portion having a smaller diameter than the region, and the oil reservoir is formed between the small diameter portion and the inner peripheral surface of the electroformed portion. It is characterized by that.

このように本発明の軸受装置は、軸受隙間に油を供給する油溜まりを有する。これにより、油溜まりに保持された油が毛細管現象によって少しずつ軸受隙間に供給されるため、軸受隙間に形成された油膜によって軸受装置がスムーズに作動し、潤滑不良による異音の発生や、軸受と軸部材との接触摺動による摩耗を回避できる。 Thus, the bearing device of the present invention has an oil reservoir that supplies oil to the bearing gap. As a result, the oil retained in the oil sump is gradually supplied to the bearing gap due to the capillary phenomenon, so that the bearing device operates smoothly due to the oil film formed in the bearing gap, generating abnormal noise due to poor lubrication, Wear due to sliding contact between the shaft member and the shaft member can be avoided.

油溜まりが軸部材に接していることにより、軸受隙間に油を供給しやすくなり、よりスムーズな潤滑が得られる。このような油溜まりは、例えば、電鋳部と軸部材との間、あるいは樹脂部に設けることができる。   Since the oil reservoir is in contact with the shaft member, it becomes easier to supply oil to the bearing gap, and smoother lubrication can be obtained. Such an oil reservoir can be provided, for example, between the electroformed part and the shaft member or in the resin part.

上記のような軸受装置を有するモータはスムーズに作動するため、異音の発生がなく、製品寿命も長い。   Since the motor having the bearing device as described above operates smoothly, no abnormal noise is generated and the product life is long.

以上のように、本発明の軸受装置は、軸受と軸部材との潤滑が良好なため、異音の発生や部材の摩耗を防止でき、高回転化や製品寿命の延長を図ることができる。   As described above, since the bearing device of the present invention has good lubrication between the bearing and the shaft member, it is possible to prevent the generation of abnormal noise and wear of the member, and to increase the rotation speed and extend the product life.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基づいて説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る軸受装置1の断面図である。軸受装置1は、軸受3と、軸受3の内周に挿入された軸部材2と、軸部材2の外周面2aと軸受3の内周面3aとの間に形成される軸受隙間に油を供給する補油機構とで構成される。   FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a bearing device 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The bearing device 1 supplies oil to a bearing 3, a shaft member 2 inserted in the inner periphery of the bearing 3, and a bearing gap formed between the outer peripheral surface 2 a of the shaft member 2 and the inner peripheral surface 3 a of the bearing 3. It consists of a bunkering mechanism to supply.

軸受3は、電鋳加工で形成される電鋳部4と、電鋳部4を内周に保持する樹脂部5とを備える。電鋳部4は電鋳加工により形成され、その内周面4aは軸受面として作用する。樹脂部5は、略円筒状をなし、樹脂を型成形することで形成される。補油機構の形態や配置される場所は、特に限定されない。本実施形態では、補油機構として油溜まり6が樹脂部5に設けられる場合を例示する。   The bearing 3 includes an electroformed part 4 formed by electroforming, and a resin part 5 that holds the electroformed part 4 on the inner periphery. The electroformed part 4 is formed by electroforming, and the inner peripheral surface 4a acts as a bearing surface. The resin portion 5 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is formed by molding a resin. There are no particular limitations on the form or location of the bunkering mechanism. In this embodiment, the case where the oil sump 6 is provided in the resin part 5 as an oil supplement mechanism is illustrated.

以下、軸受3の製造工程を説明する。軸受3は、マスター軸7の所要個所をマスキングする工程、非マスク部に電鋳加工を行って電鋳軸10を形成する工程(図2、図3参照)、電鋳軸10の電鋳部4を樹脂で射出成形する工程(図4参照)、及び電鋳部4をマスター軸7から剥離し、軸受3とマスター軸7とを分離する工程を経て製作される。   Hereinafter, the manufacturing process of the bearing 3 will be described. The bearing 3 includes a step of masking a required portion of the master shaft 7, a step of forming an electroformed shaft 10 by electroforming a non-mask portion (see FIGS. 2 and 3), and an electroformed portion of the electroformed shaft 10. 4 is manufactured through a process of injection molding 4 with resin (see FIG. 4) and a process of separating the electroformed part 4 from the master shaft 7 and separating the bearing 3 and the master shaft 7.

なお、以下の説明において、「回転用の軸受」とは、軸部材との間の相対回転を支持する軸受を意味し、軸受が回転側となるか固定側となるかを問わない。「摺動用の軸受」とは、軸との間の相対的な直線運動を支持する軸受を意味し、同様に軸受が移動側となるか固定側となるかを問わない。「回転摺動用の軸受」とは、前記二つの軸受の機能を併せ持つもので、軸との間の回転運動及び直線運動の双方を支持する軸受を意味する。また、「揺動用の軸受」とは、例えばボールジョイントのように、軸の三次元方向の運動が許容される軸受を意味する。   In the following description, the “rotating bearing” means a bearing that supports relative rotation with the shaft member, and it does not matter whether the bearing is on the rotating side or the fixed side. “Sliding bearing” means a bearing that supports relative linear motion with respect to the shaft, and it does not matter whether the bearing is on the moving side or the stationary side. The “rotating and sliding bearing” has both functions of the two bearings, and means a bearing that supports both rotational motion and linear motion between the shafts. Further, the “oscillating bearing” means a bearing that allows movement in the three-dimensional direction of the shaft, such as a ball joint.

マスター軸7は、導電性材料、例えば焼入処理をしたステンレス鋼で、ストレートな横断面円形の軸として製作される。もちろんステンレス鋼に限定されるものでなく、剛性などの機械的強度、摺動性、耐熱性、耐薬品性、電鋳部4の加工性及び分離性など、軸受の機能上あるいは軸受製作の都合上求められる特性に適合した材料、さらには熱処理方法が選択される。セラミック等の非金属材料でも、導電処理を施すことにより(例えば表面に導電性の金属皮膜を形成することにより)使用可能となる。なお、マスター軸7の表面には、電鋳部4との間の摩擦力を減じるための表面処理、例えばフッ素系の樹脂コーティングを施すのが望ましい。   The master shaft 7 is made of a conductive material, for example, hardened stainless steel, and is manufactured as a straight shaft having a circular cross section. Of course, the material is not limited to stainless steel, but it has a mechanical function such as rigidity, slidability, heat resistance, chemical resistance, workability and separability of the electroformed part 4, and so on. A material and a heat treatment method suitable for the characteristics required above are selected. Even non-metallic materials such as ceramics can be used by conducting a conductive treatment (for example, by forming a conductive metal film on the surface). The surface of the master shaft 7 is preferably subjected to a surface treatment for reducing the frictional force with the electroformed part 4, for example, a fluorine-based resin coating.

マスター軸7は、中実軸の他、中空軸や中空部に樹脂を充填した中実軸であっても良い。また、回転用の軸受では、マスター軸の横断面は基本的に円形に形成されるが、摺動用の軸受の場合は横断面を任意形状にすることができ、円形のほかに多角形状や非真円形状とすることもできる。また、摺動用の軸受では、基本的にマスター軸7の横断面形状は軸方向で一定であるが、回転用の軸受や回転摺動用の軸受では、軸の全長にわたって一定の横断面形状ではない形態をとることもある。   In addition to the solid shaft, the master shaft 7 may be a solid shaft in which a hollow shaft or a hollow portion is filled with resin. In addition, in the bearing for rotation, the cross section of the master shaft is basically formed in a circular shape, but in the case of a sliding bearing, the cross section can be made into an arbitrary shape. It can also be a perfect circle shape. In the sliding bearing, the cross-sectional shape of the master shaft 7 is basically constant in the axial direction. However, in the rotating bearing and the rotating sliding bearing, the cross-sectional shape is not constant over the entire length of the shaft. May take the form.

マスター軸7の外周面精度は、後述する軸受隙間の精度を直接左右するので、真円度、円筒度、表面粗さ等の軸受機能上重要となる表面精度を、予め高精度に仕上げておく必要がある。例えば回転用の軸受では、軸受面との接触回避の観点から真円度が重視されるので、マスター軸7の外周面はできるだけ真円度を高める必要がある。例えば、後述する軸受隙間の平均幅(半径寸法)の8割以下にまで仕上げておくのが望ましい。従って、例えば軸受隙間の平均幅を2μmに設定する場合、マスター軸外周面は1.6μm以下の真円度に仕上げるのが望ましい。   Since the accuracy of the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7 directly affects the accuracy of the bearing gap described later, surface accuracy that is important for bearing functions such as roundness, cylindricity, and surface roughness is finished in advance with high accuracy. There is a need. For example, in a bearing for rotation, roundness is important from the viewpoint of avoiding contact with the bearing surface. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the roundness of the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7 as much as possible. For example, it is desirable to finish to 80% or less of an average width (radial dimension) of a bearing gap described later. Therefore, for example, when the average width of the bearing gap is set to 2 μm, it is desirable that the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft is finished to a roundness of 1.6 μm or less.

マスター軸7の外周面には、電鋳部4の形成予定部を除き、マスキングが施される(図2に散点で示す)。マスキング用の被覆材8としては、非導電性、及び電解質溶液に対する耐食性を有する既存品が選択使用される。   Masking is performed on the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7 except for the portion where the electroformed portion 4 is to be formed (shown as dots in FIG. 2). As the masking covering 8, an existing product having non-conductivity and corrosion resistance against the electrolyte solution is selectively used.

電鋳加工は、NiやCu等の金属イオンを含んだ電解質溶液にマスター軸7を浸漬し、電解質溶液に通電して目的の金属をマスター軸7の表面に析出させることにより行われる。電解質溶液には、カーボンなどの摺動材、あるいはサッカリン等の応力緩和材を必要に応じて含有させてもよい。電着金属の種類は、軸受の軸受面に求められる硬度や、耐摩耗性、疲れ強さ等の物理的性質、化学的性質に応じて適宜選択される。電鋳部4の厚みは、これが厚すぎるとマスター軸7からの剥離性が低下し、薄すぎると軸受面の耐久性低下等につながるので、求められる軸受性能や軸受サイズ、さらには用途等に応じて最適な厚みに設定される。例えば軸径1mm〜6mmの回転用の軸受では、10μm〜200μmの厚さとするのが好ましい。   The electroforming is performed by immersing the master shaft 7 in an electrolyte solution containing metal ions such as Ni and Cu, and energizing the electrolyte solution to deposit the target metal on the surface of the master shaft 7. If necessary, the electrolyte solution may contain a sliding material such as carbon or a stress relaxation material such as saccharin. The type of electrodeposited metal is appropriately selected depending on the hardness, wear resistance, fatigue strength and other physical properties and chemical properties required for the bearing surface of the bearing. If the thickness of the electroformed part 4 is too thick, the peelability from the master shaft 7 is reduced, and if it is too thin, the durability of the bearing surface is reduced. The optimum thickness is set accordingly. For example, in a rotating bearing having a shaft diameter of 1 mm to 6 mm, the thickness is preferably 10 μm to 200 μm.

以上の工程を経ることにより、図2に示すように、マスター軸7外周に円筒状の電鋳部4が形成される。なお、マスキング用の被覆材8が薄い場合、電鋳部4の両端は被覆材8側に迫り出し、内周面にテーパ状の面取り部が形成される場合がある。この面取り部を利用して、電鋳部の樹脂部からの抜け落ちを防止するフランジ部を形成することもできる。本実施形態では、面取り部が形成されない場合を例示する。   By passing through the above process, the cylindrical electroformed part 4 is formed in the outer periphery of the master shaft 7, as shown in FIG. In addition, when the masking covering material 8 is thin, both ends of the electroformed portion 4 may protrude toward the covering material 8 and a tapered chamfered portion may be formed on the inner peripheral surface. Using this chamfered portion, a flange portion that prevents the electroformed portion from falling off from the resin portion can be formed. In this embodiment, the case where a chamfer part is not formed is illustrated.

その後、図3に示すように、マスター軸7の外周面に油溜まり形成部材9を配置する。油溜まり形成部材9の形状は特に限定されず、図3に示すような環状の他、例えば円周方向に離隔した複数箇所に設けても良い。また、断面形状は、図4に示すような矩形の他、半円状や台形状など任意の形状に形成することができる。   Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 3, an oil reservoir forming member 9 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7. The shape of the oil reservoir forming member 9 is not particularly limited, and may be provided at a plurality of locations separated in the circumferential direction, for example, in addition to the annular shape as shown in FIG. Further, the cross-sectional shape can be formed in an arbitrary shape such as a semicircular shape or a trapezoidal shape in addition to the rectangular shape shown in FIG.

油溜まり形成部材9に使用される材料は、形状が図3のように環状の場合は、後述の軸受3とマスター軸7との分離後に軸受3から取り外すことができるように、弾性変形可能な部材が好ましく、例えばゴム系の材料で形成される。油溜まり形成部材9の形状が環状でない場合は、軸受3からの取り外しの際に不具合がなければ、任意の材料、例えば金属や樹脂等が使用できる。   When the shape of the material used for the oil reservoir forming member 9 is annular as shown in FIG. 3, it can be elastically deformed so that it can be removed from the bearing 3 after separation of the bearing 3 and the master shaft 7 described later. A member is preferable, for example, formed of a rubber-based material. In the case where the shape of the oil reservoir forming member 9 is not annular, any material such as a metal or a resin can be used as long as there is no problem when it is removed from the bearing 3.

油溜まり形成部材9を配置する位置は、樹脂部5の形成予定部内であれば特に限定されない。例えば、図3に示すように電鋳部4に隣接して配置する他、電鋳部4と軸方向に離隔して配置してもよい。あるいは、電鋳部4を軸方向に離隔した複数箇所に形成し、その電鋳部4の間に油溜まり形成部材9を配置することもできる。また、配置する数も限定されず、図3のように一箇所に配置しても良いし、複数箇所に配置しても良い。   The position where the oil sump forming member 9 is disposed is not particularly limited as long as it is within the portion where the resin portion 5 is to be formed. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it may be disposed adjacent to the electroformed part 4, or may be disposed apart from the electroformed part 4 in the axial direction. Alternatively, the electroformed part 4 can be formed at a plurality of locations separated in the axial direction, and the oil reservoir forming member 9 can be disposed between the electroformed parts 4. Moreover, the number to arrange | position is not limited, You may arrange | position to one place like FIG. 3, and may arrange | position to multiple places.

以上により、マスター軸7の外周面に電鋳部4と油溜まり形成部材9が設置された電鋳軸10が形成される。電鋳軸10は、図4に示す射出成形工程に移送され、電鋳部4、油溜まり形成部材9、及びマスター軸7をインサート部品とするインサート成形が行われる。   Thus, the electroformed shaft 10 in which the electroformed portion 4 and the oil reservoir forming member 9 are installed on the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7 is formed. The electroformed shaft 10 is transferred to the injection molding step shown in FIG. 4, and insert molding is performed using the electroformed portion 4, the oil reservoir forming member 9, and the master shaft 7 as insert parts.

図4は、樹脂部5のインサート成形工程を概念的に示すもので、固定型11b、および可動型11aからなる金型には、ランナ12およびゲート13と、キャビティ14とが設けられる。ゲート13は、この実施形態では、点状ゲートであり、成形金型(固定型11b)の、樹脂部5の軸方向一端面に対応する位置に、かつ円周方向等間隔に複数箇所(例えば三箇所)形成される。各ゲート13のゲート面積は、充填する溶融樹脂の粘度や、成形品の形状に合わせて適切な値に設定される。   FIG. 4 conceptually shows an insert molding process of the resin part 5. A runner 12, a gate 13, and a cavity 14 are provided in a mold including a fixed mold 11 b and a movable mold 11 a. In this embodiment, the gate 13 is a dotted gate, and is formed at a plurality of locations (for example, at equal intervals in the circumferential direction) at positions corresponding to one axial end surface of the resin portion 5 of the molding die (fixed die 11b). Three places) formed. The gate area of each gate 13 is set to an appropriate value according to the viscosity of the molten resin to be filled and the shape of the molded product.

上記構成の金型において、電鋳軸10を所定位置に位置決めした状態で可動型11aを固定型11bに接近させて型締めする。次に、型締めした状態で、スプール(図示は省略)、ランナ12、およびゲート13を介してキャビティ14内に溶融樹脂Pを射出、充填し、樹脂部5を電鋳軸10と一体に成形する。   In the mold having the above configuration, the movable mold 11a is brought close to the fixed mold 11b and clamped with the electroformed shaft 10 positioned at a predetermined position. Next, in a state where the mold is clamped, molten resin P is injected and filled into the cavity 14 via the spool (not shown), the runner 12, and the gate 13, and the resin portion 5 is molded integrally with the electroformed shaft 10. To do.

溶融樹脂Pは熱可塑性樹脂であり、非晶性樹脂として、ポリサルフォン(PSF)、ポリエーテルサルフォン(PES)、ポリフェニルサルフォン(PPSU)、ポリエーテルイミド(PEI)等、結晶性樹脂として、液晶ポリマー(LCP)、ポリエーテルエーテルケトン(PEEK)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、ポリフェニレンサルファイド(PPS)等を用いることができる。また、上記の樹脂に充填する充填材の種類も特に限定されないが、例えば、充填材として、ガラス繊維等の繊維状充填材、チタン酸カリウム等のウィスカー状充填材、マイカ等の鱗片状充填材、カーボンファイバー、カーボンブラック、黒鉛、カーボンナノマテリアル、金属粉末等の繊維状又は粉末状の導電性充填材を用いることができる。これらの充填材は、単独で用い、あるいは、二種以上を混合して使用しても良い。   The molten resin P is a thermoplastic resin, and as an amorphous resin, polysulfone (PSF), polyethersulfone (PES), polyphenylsulfone (PPSU), polyetherimide (PEI), etc., as crystalline resins, Liquid crystal polymer (LCP), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), or the like can be used. The type of filler to be filled in the resin is not particularly limited. For example, as the filler, fibrous filler such as glass fiber, whisker-like filler such as potassium titanate, and scaly filler such as mica. A fibrous or powdery conductive filler such as carbon fiber, carbon black, graphite, carbon nanomaterial, or metal powder can be used. These fillers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

型開き後、マスター軸7、電鋳部4、油溜まり形成部材9、および樹脂部5が一体となった成形品を金型から脱型する。この成形品は、その後の剥離工程において電鋳部4、樹脂部5、及び油溜まり形成部材9からなる要素(図1を参照)と、マスター軸7とに分離される。   After the mold opening, the molded product in which the master shaft 7, the electroformed part 4, the oil sump forming member 9, and the resin part 5 are integrated is removed from the mold. This molded product is separated into an element (see FIG. 1) composed of the electroformed part 4, the resin part 5, and the oil sump forming member 9 and the master shaft 7 in the subsequent peeling step.

この剥離工程では、電鋳部4に蓄積された内部応力を解放することにより、電鋳部4の内周面4aを拡径させ、マスター軸7の外周面から剥離させる。内部応力の解放は、マスター軸7又は電鋳部4に衝撃を与えることにより、あるいは電鋳部4の内周面4aとマスター軸7の外周面との間に軸方向の加圧力を付与することにより行われる。内部応力の解放により、電鋳部4の内周面を半径方向に拡径させて、電鋳部4の内周面4aとマスター軸7の外周面との間に適当な大きさの隙間を形成することにより、電鋳部4の内周面4aからマスター軸7を軸方向にスムーズに引き抜くことができ、これにより成形品が、電鋳部4、樹脂部5、及び油溜まり形成部材9からなる要素と、マスター軸7とに分離される。なお、電鋳部4の拡径量は、例えば電鋳部4の肉厚や電解質溶液の組成、電鋳条件を変えることによって制御できる。   In this peeling step, the internal stress accumulated in the electroformed part 4 is released, so that the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part 4 is expanded and peeled off from the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7. The internal stress is released by giving an impact to the master shaft 7 or the electroformed part 4, or applying an axial pressure between the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7. Is done. By releasing the internal stress, the inner peripheral surface of the electroformed part 4 is radially expanded, and a gap of an appropriate size is provided between the inner peripheral surface 4a of the electroformed part 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7. By forming, the master shaft 7 can be smoothly pulled out from the inner peripheral surface 4a of the electroformed part 4 in the axial direction, whereby the molded product becomes the electroformed part 4, the resin part 5, and the oil reservoir forming member 9. And the master shaft 7 are separated. The diameter expansion amount of the electroformed part 4 can be controlled, for example, by changing the thickness of the electroformed part 4, the composition of the electrolyte solution, and the electroforming conditions.

衝撃の付与だけでは電鋳部4の内周を十分に拡径さえることができない場合、電鋳部4とマスター軸7とを加熱又は冷却し、両者間に熱膨張量差を生じさせることによって、マスター軸7から電鋳部4を剥離することもできる。   When the diameter of the inner periphery of the electroformed part 4 cannot be sufficiently increased only by applying an impact, the electroformed part 4 and the master shaft 7 are heated or cooled, thereby causing a difference in thermal expansion between them. The electroformed part 4 can also be peeled off from the master shaft 7.

こうして分離された電鋳部4、樹脂部5、及び油溜まり形成部材9からなる要素から油溜まり形成部材9を取り外し、油溜まり6を有する軸受3が形成される。   The oil reservoir forming member 9 is removed from the elements formed of the electroformed portion 4, the resin portion 5, and the oil reservoir forming member 9 thus separated, and the bearing 3 having the oil reservoir 6 is formed.

油溜まり6の容積、すなわち油溜まり形成部材9の体積は、十分な油を保持するために、軸受隙間の容積に対する比を10以上に設定することが望ましい。また、本実施形態では、油溜まり形成部材9がゴム等の弾性材料により形成される場合を例示したが、例えば、油溜まり形成部材9を溶融性の材料で形成し、分離工程後に溶剤によって溶融させて形成することもできる。あるいは、軸受3の内周面3aを円筒状に形成し、その円筒状内周面3aの一部を旋削などの機械加工で除去することにより、油溜まり6を形成することもできる。また、本実施形態では、軸受3に油溜まり6が形成されるが、例えば旋削などの機械加工で軸部材2の外周面2aの一部を除去することにより、軸部材2に油溜まり6を形成することもできる。   The volume of the oil sump 6, that is, the volume of the oil sump forming member 9, is desirably set to a ratio of 10 or more to the volume of the bearing gap in order to retain sufficient oil. Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the oil reservoir forming member 9 is formed of an elastic material such as rubber is exemplified. However, for example, the oil reservoir forming member 9 is formed of a meltable material and melted with a solvent after the separation step. It can also be formed. Alternatively, the oil reservoir 6 can be formed by forming the inner peripheral surface 3a of the bearing 3 in a cylindrical shape and removing a part of the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 3a by machining such as turning. In the present embodiment, the oil sump 6 is formed in the bearing 3, but the oil sump 6 is formed in the shaft member 2 by removing a part of the outer peripheral surface 2a of the shaft member 2 by machining such as turning. It can also be formed.

その後、軸受3に別途製作した軸部材2を挿入し、軸受3の内周面と軸部材2の外周面との間の軸受隙間及び油溜まり6に潤滑油を充填することで、図1に示す軸受装置1が完成する。   Thereafter, a separately manufactured shaft member 2 is inserted into the bearing 3, and the bearing clearance and the oil reservoir 6 between the inner peripheral surface of the bearing 3 and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member 2 are filled with lubricating oil. The bearing device 1 shown is completed.

本実施形態では、図1のように、軸受3の内周面3aが、電鋳部4の内周面4aと樹脂部5の小径内周面5aとで形成され、電鋳部4の内周面4aが軸受面として作用する。射出成形後の固化時に、樹脂部5の小径内周面5aが成形収縮により拡径するよう樹脂材料の組成や成形条件を配慮することにより、マスター軸7の外周面との間に微小隙間を形成することができる。これにより、樹脂部5とマスター軸7とを容易に分離することが可能となる。微小隙間の幅が適切であれば、図1に示す軸受装置1において、樹脂部5の小径内周面5aと軸部材2の外周面2aとの間の微小隙間を毛細管シールとして機能させることができ、軸受隙間からの潤滑油の流出防止に有効となる。この他、マスター軸7の分離後、機械加工等で小径内周面5aを形成しても良い。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner peripheral surface 3 a of the bearing 3 is formed by the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part 4 and the small diameter inner peripheral surface 5 a of the resin part 5. The peripheral surface 4a acts as a bearing surface. By considering the composition of the resin material and molding conditions so that the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 5a of the resin portion 5 expands due to molding shrinkage when solidified after injection molding, a minute gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7 and the like. Can be formed. Thereby, the resin part 5 and the master shaft 7 can be easily separated. If the width of the minute gap is appropriate, in the bearing device 1 shown in FIG. 1, the minute gap between the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 5a of the resin portion 5 and the outer peripheral surface 2a of the shaft member 2 can function as a capillary seal. This is effective in preventing the lubricating oil from flowing out of the bearing gap. In addition, after the master shaft 7 is separated, the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 5a may be formed by machining or the like.

このように毛細管シールは、樹脂部5の小径内周面5aを拡径させる他、小径内周面5aに対抗する軸部材2の外周面2aに小径外周面(図示省略)を形成することで構成することもできる。また、毛細管シールを、軸受隙間側ほど隙間幅を徐々に縮径させたテーパシールとすれば、より有効な潤滑油の流出防止が可能となる。   As described above, the capillary seal expands the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 5a of the resin portion 5 and forms a small-diameter outer peripheral surface (not shown) on the outer peripheral surface 2a of the shaft member 2 that opposes the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 5a. It can also be configured. Further, if the capillary seal is a taper seal in which the gap width is gradually reduced toward the bearing gap side, it is possible to prevent the lubricating oil from flowing out more effectively.

軸部材2として、分離したマスター軸7をそのまま使用することもできる。この場合、電鋳部4とマスター軸7との剥離工程でできた電鋳部4の内周面4aとマスター軸7の外周面との間の微小隙間は、軸受隙間として機能する。この軸受隙間は、電鋳加工の特性から、クリアランスが極めて小さく、かつ高精度であるという特徴を有するため、高い回転精度または摺動性を有する軸受の提供が可能となる。なお、上述のように、別途製作した軸部材と置き換えて軸受を構成する場合、一度マスター軸7を製作すれば、これを繰返し転用することができるので、マスター軸7の製作コストを抑え、軸受装置1のさらなる低コスト化を図ることが可能となる。   As the shaft member 2, the separated master shaft 7 can be used as it is. In this case, the minute gap between the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7 formed in the peeling process between the electroformed part 4 and the master shaft 7 functions as a bearing gap. Since this bearing gap has the characteristics that the clearance is extremely small and has high accuracy due to the characteristics of electroforming, it is possible to provide a bearing having high rotational accuracy or slidability. As described above, when a bearing is formed by replacing a separately manufactured shaft member, once the master shaft 7 is manufactured, the master shaft 7 can be reused repeatedly. Further cost reduction of the device 1 can be achieved.

軸受装置1の作動(回転、摺動、回転摺動、又は揺動)時には、油溜まり6から供給された油が、電鋳部4の内周面4aと軸部材2の外周面2aとの間の軸受隙間に油膜を形成するため、常に潤沢な潤滑油が軸受隙間に介在する。これにより、油不足による潤滑不良による異音の発生や、軸部材2と軸受3との接触摺動による摩耗が回避され、製品寿命が延長される。   During operation (rotation, sliding, rotational sliding, or swinging) of the bearing device 1, oil supplied from the oil sump 6 is caused between the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part 4 and the outer peripheral surface 2 a of the shaft member 2. Since an oil film is formed in the bearing gap between them, abundant lubricating oil is always present in the bearing gap. Thereby, generation of noise due to poor lubrication due to lack of oil and wear due to contact sliding between the shaft member 2 and the bearing 3 are avoided, and the product life is extended.

本発明は、上記実施形態に限られない。図5に示す本発明の第2の実施形態に係る軸受装置21は、カップ状に形成された軸受3の内周面及び内底面に電鋳部4が形成される。軸受3の内周には、下端が凸球面状の軸部材2が挿入される。軸部材2の凸球面部2bの先端と電鋳部4の内底面4cとの間には、軸部材2をスラスト方向に支持するスラスト軸受部Tが形成される。この場合、軸部材2の凸球面部2bと、電鋳部4の内周面4a及び内底面4cとの間に補油機構となる油溜まり6を形成している。   The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In the bearing device 21 according to the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5, the electroformed part 4 is formed on the inner peripheral surface and the inner bottom surface of the bearing 3 formed in a cup shape. A shaft member 2 having a convex spherical surface at the lower end is inserted into the inner periphery of the bearing 3. A thrust bearing portion T that supports the shaft member 2 in the thrust direction is formed between the tip of the convex spherical surface portion 2b of the shaft member 2 and the inner bottom surface 4c of the electroformed portion 4. In this case, an oil sump 6 is formed between the convex spherical surface portion 2b of the shaft member 2 and the inner peripheral surface 4a and the inner bottom surface 4c of the electroformed portion 4 as an oil supplement mechanism.

図6に示す本発明の第3の実施形態に係る軸受装置31は、カップ状の軸受3の側部15と底部16とが別体に形成される。底部16は、例えば金属材料で形成され、接着、高周波溶着、超音波溶着などの方法で、側部15に固定される。軸部材2の凸球面部2bの先端と軸受3の底部16の上端面16aとの間には、軸部材2をスラスト方向に支持するスラスト軸受部Tが形成される。この場合、軸部材2の凸球面部2bと、樹脂部5の段部5bと、電鋳部4の下端部と、底部材16の上端面16aとで囲まれる空間が補油機構となる油溜まり6として機能する。この場合、射出成形時の金型を調整することにより樹脂部5の段部5bを形成できるため、油溜まり6の形成が容易化される。   In the bearing device 31 according to the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 6, the side portion 15 and the bottom portion 16 of the cup-shaped bearing 3 are formed separately. The bottom portion 16 is formed of, for example, a metal material, and is fixed to the side portion 15 by a method such as adhesion, high frequency welding, or ultrasonic welding. A thrust bearing portion T that supports the shaft member 2 in the thrust direction is formed between the tip of the convex spherical portion 2b of the shaft member 2 and the upper end surface 16a of the bottom portion 16 of the bearing 3. In this case, the oil enclosed in the space surrounded by the convex spherical surface portion 2b of the shaft member 2, the step portion 5b of the resin portion 5, the lower end portion of the electroformed portion 4, and the upper end surface 16a of the bottom member 16 serves as an oil supplement mechanism. It functions as a reservoir 6. In this case, since the step portion 5b of the resin portion 5 can be formed by adjusting the mold at the time of injection molding, the formation of the oil sump 6 is facilitated.

以上で示した軸受は、電鋳部4の内周面4aと軸部材2の外周面2aとの間の軸受隙間に、流体の動圧作用で圧力を発生させる動圧軸受として使用することも可能である。この動圧軸受は、例えば軸部材2の外周面2aに、ヘリングボーン形状等に形成した動圧溝、多円弧面、あるいはステップ面等の動圧発生部を形成し、この動圧発生部を電鋳部4の真円状内周面4aと対向させることで構成することができる。これとは逆に、電鋳部4の内周面4aに動圧発生部を形成することもでき、この場合、電鋳部内周面4aの動圧発生部は、マスター軸7の外周面に動圧発生部の形状に対応した型を形成して電鋳加工を行うことで形成可能である。その後、同様の手順で軸受3とマスター軸7の分離を行い、さらに軸受3の内周に真円状の外周面を有する軸部材2を挿入することで、動圧軸受が構成される。   The bearing shown above can also be used as a hydrodynamic bearing that generates pressure by the hydrodynamic action of fluid in the bearing gap between the inner peripheral surface 4a of the electroformed part 4 and the outer peripheral surface 2a of the shaft member 2. Is possible. In this dynamic pressure bearing, for example, a dynamic pressure generating part such as a dynamic pressure groove, a multi-arc surface, or a step surface formed in a herringbone shape or the like is formed on the outer peripheral surface 2a of the shaft member 2, and the dynamic pressure generating part is It can be configured by facing the perfect inner circumferential surface 4a of the electroformed part 4. On the contrary, a dynamic pressure generating part can be formed on the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part 4. In this case, the dynamic pressure generating part of the inner peripheral surface 4 a of the electroformed part is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the master shaft 7. It can be formed by forming a mold corresponding to the shape of the dynamic pressure generating portion and performing electroforming. Thereafter, the bearing 3 and the master shaft 7 are separated in the same procedure, and the shaft member 2 having a perfect circular outer peripheral surface is inserted into the inner periphery of the bearing 3 to constitute a hydrodynamic bearing.

Hereinafter, the example which used the bearing apparatus 1 as a rotating shaft support apparatus for the said motor is demonstrated based on FIG.

図7に示すように、このモータ100は、例えばHDD等のディスク駆動装置用のスピンドルモータとして使用されるものであって、軸部材2を回転自在に非接触支持する軸受装置1と、軸部材2に装着されたロータ(ディスクハブ)103と、例えば半径方向のギャップを介して対向させたステータコイル104およびロータマグネット105とを備えている。ステータコイル104は、ブラケット106の外周に取付けられ、ロータマグネット105はディスクハブ103の内周に取付けられている。ディスクハブ103には、磁気ディスク等のディスクDが一又は複数枚保持されている。ステータコイル104に通電すると、ステータコイル104とロータマグネット105との間の電磁力でロータマグネット105が回転し、それによって、ディスクハブ103及びディスクハブ103に保持されたディスクDが軸部材2と一体に回転する。   As shown in FIG. 7, the motor 100 is used as a spindle motor for a disk drive device such as an HDD, and includes a bearing device 1 that rotatably supports a shaft member 2 in a non-contact manner, and a shaft member. 2, and a stator coil 104 and a rotor magnet 105 that are opposed to each other with a gap in the radial direction, for example. The stator coil 104 is attached to the outer periphery of the bracket 106, and the rotor magnet 105 is attached to the inner periphery of the disk hub 103. The disk hub 103 holds one or more disks D such as magnetic disks. When the stator coil 104 is energized, the rotor magnet 105 is rotated by the electromagnetic force between the stator coil 104 and the rotor magnet 105, whereby the disk hub 103 and the disk D held by the disk hub 103 are integrated with the shaft member 2. Rotate to.

この実施形態において、軸受装置1は、軸受3と、軸受3の内周に挿入される軸部材2と、軸受3の一端に装着されるスラストプレート107とを備える。図7では、軸受装置として図1に示す軸受装置1を例示しているが、図5、図6に示す軸受装置21、31も使用可能である。スラストプレート107の上端面には、スラスト動圧発生部として、複数の動圧溝をスパイラル状に配列した領域(スラスト軸受面)107aが形成される。軸部材2の回転時には、軸部材2の外周面2aと軸受3のラジアル軸受面となる電鋳部4の内周面4aとのラジアル軸受隙間に油膜が形成され、これにより軸部材2をラジアル方向に回転自在に非接触支持するラジアル軸受部Rが形成される。同時に、軸部材2の下端面2cとスラストプレート107の上端面107aとの間のスラスト軸受隙間に、動圧溝による潤滑油の動圧作用で軸部材2をスラスト方向に回転自在に非接触支持するスラスト軸受部Tが形成される。   In this embodiment, the bearing device 1 includes a bearing 3, a shaft member 2 inserted into the inner periphery of the bearing 3, and a thrust plate 107 attached to one end of the bearing 3. Although FIG. 7 illustrates the bearing device 1 shown in FIG. 1 as the bearing device, the bearing devices 21 and 31 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 can also be used. On the upper end surface of the thrust plate 107, a region (thrust bearing surface) 107a in which a plurality of dynamic pressure grooves are arranged in a spiral shape is formed as a thrust dynamic pressure generating portion. When the shaft member 2 is rotated, an oil film is formed in a radial bearing gap between the outer peripheral surface 2a of the shaft member 2 and the inner peripheral surface 4a of the electroformed portion 4 serving as the radial bearing surface of the bearing 3, and thereby the shaft member 2 is radially A radial bearing portion R that is supported in a non-contact manner so as to be rotatable in the direction is formed. At the same time, in the thrust bearing gap between the lower end surface 2c of the shaft member 2 and the upper end surface 107a of the thrust plate 107, the shaft member 2 is supported in a non-contact manner so as to be rotatable in the thrust direction by the dynamic pressure action of lubricating oil by the dynamic pressure grooves A thrust bearing portion T is formed.

It can also be applied to fan motors that require a long service life.

以上の説明では、軸受3を回転軸の支持に使用する場合を例示しているが、この他にも軸受3は、軸との間の直線的な相対摺動を支持する摺動用の軸受や、相対摺動と相対回転の双方を支持する摺動回転用の軸受、あるいは軸の三次元方向の運動を支持する揺動用の軸受の何れにも適用することができる。   In the above description, the case where the bearing 3 is used for supporting the rotating shaft is illustrated, but in addition to this, the bearing 3 is a sliding bearing that supports linear relative sliding with respect to the shaft. The present invention can be applied to either a sliding rotation bearing that supports both relative sliding and relative rotation, or a rocking bearing that supports the movement of the shaft in the three-dimensional direction.
