Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rolling bearing retainer used for a machine tool main shaft and other general industrial machines, a rolling bearing provided with the cage, and a lubricating structure for the rolling bearing.

In the rolling bearing, the purpose of lubrication is to form a thin oil film on the rolling surface and the sliding surface to prevent the metal and the metal from coming into direct contact, and has the following effects.
(1) Reduction of friction and wear, (2) Dissipation of frictional heat, (3) Extension of bearing life, (4) Rust prevention and prevention of foreign material intrusion.

In order to exert these effects, it is necessary to use a lubrication method suitable for use conditions. In general, machine tool spindles use a very small amount of lubricating oil to minimize the heat generated by agitation. Grease lubrication, oil mist lubrication, air-oil lubrication, jet lubrication, etc. are used depending on the conditions of use. . FIG. 7 shows the relationship between the amount of bearing oil, friction loss, and bearing temperature.
Air-oil lubrication (region II in FIG. 7) is a system where lubrication oil is accurately metered and delivered at optimum intervals for each bearing, continuously pumped to the end of the oil supply pipe, and then lubricated by a nozzle provided toward the bearing. It has a structure of spraying on. This lubrication method is widely used as a lubrication method suitable for increasing the speed of the machine tool spindle and increasing the temperature. The lubricating oil supply system is shown in FIG. 8, and a bearing peripheral view is shown in FIG.

  In the lubricating oil supply system of FIG. 8, the lubricating oil supplied from the oil passage 62 measured from the tank 61 is mixed with the air sent from the air passages 63 and 64 to form air oil. Then, it is discharged to the rolling bearing 51. As shown in FIG. 9, this air oil is discharged from the nozzle 66 toward the rolling surface 52 a of the inner ring 52 of the rolling bearing 51.

In the lubricating system shown in the figure, the bearing temperature becomes high during high-speed rotation, so that the oil pressure forming ability of the lubricating oil decreases. In addition, since the air curtain formed by the air around the rotating part increases, the higher the speed of rotation, the stricter the lubrication conditions, and the more difficult the lubricating oil supplied from the nozzle 66 enters the bearing 51.
Further, if the oil drain (exhaust of air oil) is not performed smoothly, the lubricating oil stays inside the bearing and the stirring resistance increases, resulting in an increase in temperature. If the temperature rises too much, the machining system will deteriorate due to thermal expansion of the spindle.

Therefore, in high-speed operation with minute lubrication including air-oil lubrication,
(1) Having a high oil supply property (the lubricating oil can easily enter the bearing)
(2) High oil drainage (Lubricant oil is easily discharged outside the bearing)
These two characteristics are required for bearings.

Japanese Patent No. 2740304

As described above, during high-speed operation with air-oil lubrication, it is important to use a bearing specification with improved oil supply and oil discharge properties in order to prevent an increase in temperature.
FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 are examples of specifications of the above-mentioned bearing lubrication structure. By aiming the nozzle 66 at the place where the heat generation is the largest in the bearing, that is, the inner ring rolling surface 52a that requires the most lubricating oil, Refueling efficiency is increased. In addition, the outer diameter of the inner ring on the back side of the bearing targeted by the nozzle 66 is also reduced to widen the oil supply space. The angular ball bearing is provided with a tapered surface necessary for assembly called a “counter bore” on the outer diameter of the rear side inner ring or the inner diameter of the front side outer ring. When the counter bore is provided on the outer diameter of the inner ring on the back side, the outer diameter of the inner ring 52 becomes smaller, so that it also has a function of expanding the oil supply space.

However, when the rolling element 54 is larger than the bearing width, the width of the cage 55 must be increased to the same extent as the bearing width. As a result, part of the air oil ejected from the nozzle collides with the retainer 55, and smooth lubrication oil supply is prevented. For example, a region indicated by R in FIG. 11 is a region where the supply of lubricating oil is hindered.
In such a case, the target position of the nozzle 66 can be lowered so that the retainer 55 and air oil do not interfere with each other, but the outer diameter of the spacer 58 provided on the inner ring side is small, that is, the spacer 58. Since the thickness of the nozzle becomes thin, the height of the nozzle aiming position is also limited.

  On the other hand, the lubricating oil supplied to the bearing passes through the inside of the bearing and is discharged to the outside of the bearing in a flow as shown in FIG. In order to improve oil drainage, it is effective to widen a space (oil drainage path A) formed between the cage 55 and the outer ring 53 and a space (oil drainage path B) formed between the cage and the inner ring. is there.

  In order to do this, the inner ring inner diameter on the front side that becomes the oil drainage path B may be reduced and the inner diameter of the outer ring may be increased. However, since the inner ring of the angular ball bearing supports the load on the front raceway surface (has a contact surface with the rolling elements), reducing the inner ring outer diameter reduces the load capacity, particularly the load capacity in the axial direction. It leads to decline. When the load capacity is lowered, indentations associated with permanent changes are likely to occur on the raceway surface and the rolling elements, which causes generation of abnormal noise and increased vibration.

The purpose of this invention, while enabling a smooth lubricating oil supply and drain oil into the bearing, is to provide a lubrication structure for rolling bearings that secure the load-bearing capacity with a retainer as possible.

The rolling bearing retainer according to the present invention includes an annular portion and a plurality of column portions that are provided extending in the axial direction from a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction of the annular portion to form pockets for holding rolling elements between the annular portions. has, and the inner diameter surface of the annular portion, the inclined portion central side in the axial direction is smaller in diameter axially inclined, possess over substantially the entire width of the annular portion, the shaft in the inner diameter surface of the cage In the center of the width in the direction, there is a central protrusion that protrudes toward the inner diameter side to be guided by the rolling element, and this central protrusion has a cross-sectional shape along the axial direction, with the central side in the axial direction having a small diameter It is the downward trapezoid shape which has a part in the said inclination part side of the said annular part, It is characterized by the above-mentioned . The annular portion may be provided on both sides in the axial direction or may be provided only on one side. The inclined portion may be provided not only from the annular portion but also from the annular portion to the column portion.

The cage having this configuration is used for an oil lubricated rolling bearing such as an air oil lubrication structure or an oil mist lubrication structure. In this case, the cage has an inclined portion that is inclined in the axial direction and has a small diameter on the central side in the axial direction over the entire width of the annular portion. The oil supply space and the oil discharge space formed by the gaps between the outer diameter surfaces of the two are expanded.
When the oil supply space is widened, air oil or the like can be aimed at the inner ring rolling surface without interfering with the cage even in the case of a bearing having a rolling element diameter larger than the bearing width. In this case, it is not necessary to lower the target position of the nozzle, and therefore it is not necessary to make the inner ring spacer thin, and the strength of the inner ring spacer can be ensured. Further, the oil drainage path formed between the inner diameter surface of the cage and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring does not need to reduce the outer diameter of the inner ring, and therefore the oil discharge space can be expanded without reducing the load capacity. For this reason, retention of the lubricating oil inside the bearing can be suppressed.
In addition, although the above action is an explanation when the cage is of a type having an annular portion on both sides in the axial direction, when the cage is of a type having an annular portion only on one side in the axial direction, Either the oil supply space or the oil discharge space is expanded.
In this way, when this cage is used, it is possible to improve the oil supply and oil discharge performance of the rolling bearing without limiting the design of the inner ring spacer, inner ring outer diameter, etc. It is possible to contribute to the improvement of the performance and the speeding up by the low temperature rise.

In this invention, when the said annular part is provided in the both sides of an axial direction, it is good also as the following structure. That is, a pair of annular portions located on both sides in the axial direction, and extending from the circumferential portions of the annular portion in the axial direction are provided respectively, and both ends are connected to the annular portions to hold the rolling elements between them. A cage having a plurality of pillars forming pockets, having a central protrusion protruding toward the inner diameter side to be guided by the rolling element at the center of the axial width of the inner diameter surface of the cage, The central protrusion is a downward trapezoidal shape in which the cross-sectional shape along the axial direction has inclined portions with a small diameter on the both sides in the axial direction, and is inclined in the axial direction on the inner diameter surface of the two annular portions. A cage having an inclined portion having a small diameter on the central side in the axial direction over substantially the entire width of the annular portion.

  The ratio of the width of the inclined portion to the cage width is preferably 30% or more. When the ratio of the width of the inclined portion is less than 30%, the oil supply space and the oil discharge space are hardly different from the conventional cage having no inclined portion, and it is difficult to improve the oil supply / oil discharge efficiency.

  A rolling bearing according to the present invention is a rolling bearing including a plurality of rolling elements interposed between an inner ring and an outer ring and having a cage that holds the plurality of rolling elements. A cage having any structure is used. According to the rolling bearing having this configuration, the above-described effects of the cage of the present invention can be obtained.

The lubricating structure of the rolling bearing according to the present invention includes a rolling bearing including a plurality of rolling elements interposed between an inner ring and an outer ring, and a cage that holds the plurality of rolling elements, an inner diameter surface of the cage, and an inner ring. And a nozzle member that discharges lubricating oil such as air oil or oil mist between the outer diameter surfaces of the nozzles, the cage having any one of the above configurations of the present invention is used as the cage, and the nozzle A member is disposed adjacent to the outer ring and discharges air oil. The nozzle member has a nozzle hole forming protrusion inserted between the inner diameter surface of the cage and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring. A nozzle hole opening is provided on the surface of the protruding nozzle hole forming protrusion facing the inner ring outer diameter surface, and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring into which the nozzle hole forming protrusion is inserted rolls. The taper surface having a large diameter on the surface side, and the nozzle hole forming protrusion , An inclined portion of the inner diameter surface of the annular portion of the retainer, in which is inserted between the inner ring of the outer diameter surface. According to this lubricating structure, the above effects of the cage of the present invention are effectively exhibited.

According to the cage of the present invention and the rolling bearing equipped with the cage, an inclined portion that is inclined in the axial direction and has a small diameter on the center side in the axial direction is formed on the inner diameter surface of the annular portion of the cage to substantially the full width of the annular portion. And has a central protrusion protruding toward the inner diameter side to be guided by the rolling element at the center of the axial width of the inner diameter surface of the cage, and the central protrusion has a cross section along the axial direction. Since the shape is a downward trapezoidal shape having an inclined portion with a small diameter on the center side in the axial direction on the inclined portion side of the annular portion, while enabling smooth supply and drainage of oil into the bearing, It is possible to secure load carrying capacity .
According to the lubricating structure of the rolling bearing of the present invention, the nozzle member is disposed adjacent to the outer ring and discharges air oil. The nozzle member includes an inner diameter surface of the cage and an outer diameter surface of the inner ring. A nozzle hole forming protrusion inserted between the nozzle hole and a nozzle hole opening provided on a surface of the protruding nozzle hole forming protrusion opposed to the inner ring outer diameter surface. The outer diameter surface into which the forming protrusion is inserted is the tapered surface having a larger diameter on the rolling surface side, and the nozzle hole forming protrusion includes the inclined portion on the inner diameter surface of the annular portion of the cage and the outer surface of the inner ring. Since it is inserted between the radial surfaces, it is possible to ensure the load load capacity while enabling smooth supply and drainage of lubricating oil into the bearing.

  A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The rolling bearing 1 includes a plurality of rolling elements 4 interposed between rolling surfaces 2 a and 3 a of an inner ring 2 and an outer ring 3, and a cage 5 that holds the plurality of rolling elements 4. The rolling bearing 1 is an angular ball bearing, and tapered surfaces 2 b and 3 b serving as canter bores are formed on the outer diameter of the inner surface of the inner ring 2 and the inner diameter of the outer surface of the outer ring 3. The rolling element 4 consists of balls, such as a steel ball.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the cage 5 is provided with an annular portion 5a and a pocket 6 for holding the rolling element 4 between the annular portion 5b and extending in the axial direction from a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction. The plurality of pillar portions 5b are provided. The annular portion 5a is provided on both sides in the axial direction. An inclined portion 7 that is inclined in the axial direction and has a small diameter on the central side in the axial direction is provided on the inner diameter surface of the annular portion 5a. The inclined portion 7 extends over substantially the entire width of the annular portion 5a. In the illustrated example, the inclined portion 7 is formed from the annular portion 5a to the column portion 5b. Further, a central protrusion 8 that protrudes toward the inner diameter side to be guided by the rolling element is provided at the approximate center of the axial width of the inner diameter surface of the cage 5. The central protrusion 8 extends over the entire width of the column portion 5b in the circumferential direction, and the cross-sectional shape along the axial direction is a downward trapezoidal shape.

  The inclination angle of the inclined portion 7 of the cage 5 with respect to the bearing axis is in the range of 10 to 20 °. The ratio of the width of the inclined portion 7 to the cage width is 30% or more. The width | variety of the inclination part 7 said here is the total width of the width | variety of each inclination part 7 of both sides. In this example, the ratio of the inclined portion 7 to the cage width is approximately 65%. The guide method of the cage 5 is, for example, a rolling element guide method. The material of the cage 5 is made of resin or metal. When the resin is used, for example, a glass fiber reinforced polyamide resin or the like is used.

  The shape of the pocket 6 of the cage 5 is, for example, a cylindrical shape having a slightly larger diameter than the outer diameter of the rolling element 4. In addition to this, the shape of the pocket 6 may be spherical or square. In this embodiment, the cage 5 has the annular portions 5a on both sides. However, the cage 5 may be a cage having an annular portion only on one side, for example, a crown type cage.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the rolling bearing 1 having this configuration is used in combination with a nozzle member 9 that discharges air oil, and the rolling bearing 1 and the nozzle member 9 constitute an air-oil lubrication structure. The nozzle member 9 is a member having a nozzle hole 10 for discharging air oil between the inner diameter surface of the cage 5 and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 2, and is disposed adjacent to the outer ring 3 of the rolling bearing 1. The discharge port 10 a of the nozzle hole 10 is directed to the rolling surface 2 a of the inner ring 2. The nozzle member 9 is installed by being fitted to the inner diameter surface of the housing 11 in which the outer ring 3 is installed, for example. An inner ring spacer 12 is provided adjacent to the inner ring 2 on the inner diameter side of the nozzle member 9. The discharge port 10a of the nozzle hole 10 of the nozzle member 9 is connected to air oil supply means. The air oil supply means is, for example, the lubricating oil supply system described above with reference to FIG.

In the case of such an air-oil lubrication structure, the rolling bearing 1 of this embodiment provides the following action. That is, since an inclined portion 7 that is inclined in the axial direction and has a small diameter on the central side in the axial direction is provided on the inner diameter surface of the cage 5, a gap between the inner diameter surface of the cage 5 and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 2. An oil supply space S1 and an oil discharge space S2 constituted by
When the oil supply space S1 is widened, air oil or the like can be aimed from the nozzle hole 10 to the inner ring rolling surface 2a without interfering with the cage 5, even in the case of a bearing having a diameter of the rolling element 4 larger than the bearing width. . In this case, it is not necessary to lower the target position of the nozzle, and therefore it is not necessary to make the inner ring spacer 12 thinner, and the strength of the inner ring spacer 12 can be ensured. Further, the oil drainage path S2 formed between the inner diameter surface of the cage 5 and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 2 does not require the inner ring outer diameter to be reduced, and therefore the oil drain space S2 without reducing the load capacity. Can be spread. For this reason, retention of the lubricating oil inside the bearing can be suppressed.

  As described above, since the inclined portion 7 is provided on the inner diameter surface of the cage 5, the oil supply property and the oil discharge property of the rolling bearing 1 are improved without restricting the design of the outer diameter of the inner ring spacer 12 and the inner ring 2. Therefore, it is possible to improve operation reliability by preventing a rise in temperature rise, and to contribute to speeding up by raising the temperature.

However, even when the inclined portion 7 is provided in the cage 5, if the size is not appropriate, the oil supply property and the oil discharge property cannot be improved. The oil drainage is greatly affected. For example, to the extent that the inclined portion 57 is chamfered at the edge of the inner diameter surface as in the cage 55 shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the width of the inclined portion 57 is not sufficient, and the oil supply performance and oil discharge performance are improved. It cannot be improved.
In this embodiment, since the inclined portion 7 is provided over substantially the entire width of the annular portion 5a of the cage 5, the effect of improving the oil supply property and the oil discharge property due to the expansion of the oil supply space S1 and the oil discharge space S2 is obtained. It is done. The ratio of the width of the inclined portion 7 to the cage width is preferably 30% or more. When the ratio of the width of the inclined portion 7 is less than 30%, the oil supply space and the oil discharge space are almost the same as the conventional cage having no inclined portion, and it is difficult to improve the oil supply / oil discharge efficiency.

  The inclination angle of the inclined portion 7 in the cage 5 is preferably in the range of 10 to 20 °. When the inclination angle is less than 10 °, the oil supply space S1 and the oil discharge space S2 are almost the same as the conventional cage without the inclined portion 7, and it is difficult to increase the oil supply / oil discharge efficiency. On the contrary, when the inclination angle exceeds 20 °, it becomes difficult to provide the inclined portion to the inside of the cage width for the reason of securing the cage thickness, that is, the width of the inclined portion 7 with respect to the cage width. Since the ratio decreases, it is difficult to increase the oil supply space S1 and the oil discharge space S2.

  FIG. 4 shows the test results of the outer ring temperature rise during the air-oil lubrication operation for the rolling bearing 1 of this embodiment and the conventional bearing 51 shown in FIGS. The conventional bearing 51 uses a cage 55 having a chamfered inclined portion 57 at the edge of the inner diameter surface, and the other configuration is the same as that of the rolling bearing 1 shown in the embodiment. Table 1 shows the cage specifications, and Table 2 shows the operating conditions.

  From FIG. 4, the low and medium speed regions up to 14,000 min-1 (dn value 700,000) show the same temperature rise, but in the high speed region exceeding 14,000 min-1 (dn value 700,000) The cage 5 of this embodiment shows a lower temperature rise. The dn value is the product of the bearing inner body and the rotational speed. The bearing specifications and operating conditions other than the cage shape are the same for the bearing of this embodiment and the conventional bearing, and it can be said that the oil supply performance and oil drainability due to the difference of the cage 5 contribute to the low temperature rise.

  5 and 6 show another example of an air oil lubrication structure using the rolling bearing 1 of this embodiment. In this example, the nozzle member 9 has a nozzle hole forming projection 9a inserted between the inner diameter surface of the cage 5 and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 2, and the inner ring outer diameter surface of the projection 9a. The opening part 10a of the nozzle hole 10 is provided in the opposing surface. The outer diameter surface of the inner ring 2 where the nozzle hole forming protrusion 9a is inserted is the tapered surface 2b. A minute gap is formed between the nozzle hole forming protrusion 9a and the tapered surface 2b of the inner ring 2. Further, a circumferential groove 13 having a V-shaped cross section is formed at a portion of the tapered surface 2b of the inner ring 2 facing the nozzle opening 10a. In addition, although the nozzle member 9 is divided | segmented into the nozzle main body 9A and the protrusion formation member 9B which has the said nozzle hole formation protrusion 9a, it may be integral.

  In the case of this embodiment, the lubricating oil discharged from the nozzle hole 10 to the tapered surface 2b of the inner ring 2 flows while adhering to the tapered surface 2b by the surface tension and the centrifugal force accompanying the rotation of the inner ring 2, and flows to the rolling surface 2a. Supplied. In this case, since the tapered portion 7 is provided on the inner diameter surface of the cage 5, the space between them is widened, and the nozzle hole forming protrusion 9 a of the nozzle member 9 can be inserted deeply. For this reason, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 6, it is possible to obtain a long facing range L of the tapered surface 2 b of the inner ring 2 with the nozzle hole forming protrusion 9 a, and the lubricating oil adherence flow becomes good and lubrication is performed. Improves. That is, when the facing range L is short, the lubricating oil does not adhere well to the tapered surface 2b of the inner ring 2 and may be scattered by centrifugal force. However, the nozzle hole forming protrusion 9a is inserted as deep as possible to face the lubricant. By increasing the range L, the above-mentioned scattering is prevented, and the ratio of the lubricating oil that is effectively supplied to the rolling surface 2a increases.

In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated about the case where it applied to an angular ball bearing, even when the rolling bearing 1 and its cage 5 of this invention are applied to a deep groove ball bearing, a roller bearing, etc., oil supply property and oil drainage property are demonstrated. Can be improved.
Moreover, there is no restriction | limiting in the material and guide format of the holder | retainer 5, If it has the inclined part 7 in an internal diameter surface as mentioned above, oil supply property and oil drainage property can be improved.
Further, the effect of the inclined portion 7 of the cage 5 is effective not only for air oil lubrication but also for oil lubrication such as oil mist lubrication.
