Description

本発明はセンサ付き転がり軸受装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a rolling bearing device with a sensor.

各種装置における回転運動の計測において、軸受装置に計測機構を装備する場合がある。例えば、車両アクスル駆動輪に対してABS機構を構成するときに、回転速度を検出するABSセンサは軸受装置に固定する場合が多い。その場合、通常軸受非回転輪外径に嵌合したカバー部材にABSセンサを固定し、回転輪に嵌合したマグネットロータの回転による磁束密度の変化により、ABSセンサが回転速度を検出する。   In measuring rotational motion in various devices, a bearing device may be equipped with a measurement mechanism. For example, when an ABS mechanism is configured for a vehicle axle drive wheel, an ABS sensor that detects a rotational speed is often fixed to a bearing device. In that case, the ABS sensor is fixed to the cover member fitted to the outer diameter of the normal bearing non-rotating wheel, and the ABS sensor detects the rotational speed by the change in magnetic flux density caused by the rotation of the magnet rotor fitted to the rotating wheel.

ABSセンサの取り付け方法に関しては、各種提案がなされてきている。例えば下記特許文献1には、ABSセンサの着脱を容易にするとの観点からの取り付け方法が開示されている。特許文献1の取り付け方法では、センサを保持ケース内に保持して、その保持ケースを弾性を利用した抑え部材によって軸受固定輪に嵌合されるカバーに装着している。   Various proposals have been made regarding the mounting method of the ABS sensor. For example, Patent Document 1 below discloses an attachment method from the viewpoint of facilitating attachment / detachment of an ABS sensor. In the attachment method of Patent Document 1, the sensor is held in a holding case, and the holding case is attached to a cover fitted to the bearing fixed ring by a restraining member using elasticity.

特開平9−304417号公報JP-A-9-304417

しかしABSセンサの点検、修理は頻繁におこなうものではなく、したがってABSセンサを軸受装置から取り外すことも非常にまれである。よってABSセンサを取り外し易いように軸受装置へと装着することを目的とする上記特許文献1などに開示された従来技術は、その課題の設定に問題がある。   However, inspection and repair of the ABS sensor are not frequently performed. Therefore, it is very rare to remove the ABS sensor from the bearing device. Therefore, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the like for the purpose of mounting the ABS sensor on the bearing device so as to be easily removed has a problem in setting the problem.

さらにABSセンサの取り外し易さを重視すると、ABSセンサの固定が不十分なものとなる傾向があり、その結果、使用しているうちにABSセンサの位置や姿勢がずれてくる可能性がある。ABSセンサが正規の位置や姿勢にないことは、ABSセンサによる回転速度検出性能の低減につながり、その計測値に対する信頼性が低減する。   Further, if importance is attached to the ease of removal of the ABS sensor, the ABS sensor tends to be insufficiently fixed, and as a result, the position and orientation of the ABS sensor may be shifted during use. The fact that the ABS sensor is not in a normal position or posture leads to a reduction in rotational speed detection performance by the ABS sensor, and the reliability of the measured value is reduced.

またABSセンサの代表的な取り付け方法として、転がり軸受の非回転輪にカバー部材を嵌合し、さらにカバー部材にABSセンサを固定する場合に、カバー部材にABSセンサを弾性変形によって押し付けるための押付け部を形成して、ABSセンサを固定する方法がある。この場合、取り外し易さを重視すると、押付け部とABSセンサの間に隙間を形成することにつながる。この隙間に異物や氷が堆積するとABSセンサが抜けてしまう危険が生じる。以上のようにABSセンサを取り外し易く装着することは各種の問題を生じさせる。   In addition, as a typical method for attaching the ABS sensor, when the cover member is fitted to the non-rotating ring of the rolling bearing and the ABS sensor is fixed to the cover member, the ABS sensor is pressed against the cover member by elastic deformation. There is a method of fixing the ABS sensor by forming a portion. In this case, emphasizing ease of removal leads to forming a gap between the pressing portion and the ABS sensor. If foreign matter or ice accumulates in this gap, there is a risk that the ABS sensor will come off. As described above, attaching the ABS sensor easily causes various problems.

そこで本発明が解決しようとする課題は、上記問題点に鑑み、軸受装置にセンサを固定する構造において、センサの位置や姿勢が使用しているうちにずれることなく固定されたセンサ付き転がり軸受装置を提供することにある。   Therefore, in view of the above problems, the problem to be solved by the present invention is a rolling bearing device with a sensor which is fixed without being displaced while the position and posture of the sensor are used in a structure in which the sensor is fixed to the bearing device. Is to provide.

上記課題を解決するために本発明のセンサ付き転がり軸受装置は、回転輪の周方向に沿って磁界が交互に変化するように取り付けられた磁性体と、その磁性体の磁界を検出することによって回転輪の回転速度を計測するように非回転輪に固定されたセンサとを有するセンサ付き転がり軸受装置であって、前記センサを非回転輪に固定するための環状部材を備え、その環状部材は、前記非回転輪に嵌合された円筒部と、その円筒部の軸方向外方の端部から径方向かつ回転輪のある方向へ延設された延設部とを有し、その延設部は前記磁性体が軸方向から露出するような開口を有さず、前記円筒部が前記嵌合された状態で、前記延設部における非回転輪端面に対向する面を第1面とし、その第1面の裏面を第2面として、軸に平行で前記第1面側から第2面側へと向かう方向を順方向とし、前記センサは計測部を有する本体部を備え、前記延設部の第2面の周方向の一部に、前記センサの本体部を固定するための、前記環状部材とは別に形成された固定部が接合され、その固定部は第1固定部を有し、前記第1固定部は、前記延設部の第2面から前記順方向へ延びて屈曲した部位に押付け部が形成された形状であり、前記第1固定部の弾性復元力により前記押付け部が前記センサの本体部を前記延設部へ押し付けることにより固定し、前記押付け部の形状は、前記本体部を押し付ける際に前記本体部と前記押付け部との間に隙間を形成しない形状であり、前記センサの本体部が前記押付け部によって前記延設部に押し付けられて固定された状態において、前記センサの本体部の表面のうちで、径方向で回転輪のある側の端部を先端、周方向の端面である2つの面を側面とし、前記センサの本体部の両側面には、軸と直交する方向にレール溝部が形成され、前記固定部は第2固定部を有し、その第2固定部は、前記第2面における、前記第1固定部により押し付けられた前記センサの本体部を周方向から挟む2つの位置から前記順方向に延びて屈曲されて端部にレール部が形成され、そのレール部が前記レール溝部に嵌合されて、前記レール溝部は前記側面の途中から前記先端まで形成され、前記レール部は前記レール溝部の前記先端の位置まで嵌合され、前記レール溝部の先端側とは反対の端面をレール溝端面とし、前記押付け部が前記本体部を押し付けるときに前記本体部に径方向内方への力を作用させ、前記レール部が前記レール溝端面を押して前記本体部に径方向外方への力を作用させ、前記レール部とレール溝部とが嵌合する際に、前記レール部とレール溝部との間に隙間が形成されずに前記第2固定部は前記センサの本体部を両側面から挟持し、前記延設部には、周方向の一部にドレーン穴が形成され、そのドレーン穴の内径は前記磁性体の外径以上であることを特徴とする。
In order to solve the above-described problems, a rolling bearing device with a sensor according to the present invention detects a magnetic body attached so that a magnetic field alternately changes along a circumferential direction of a rotating wheel, and detects the magnetic field of the magnetic body. A sensor-equipped rolling bearing device having a sensor fixed to a non-rotating wheel so as to measure the rotational speed of the rotating wheel, comprising an annular member for fixing the sensor to the non-rotating wheel, the annular member being A cylindrical portion fitted to the non-rotating wheel, and an extending portion that extends from the axially outer end of the cylindrical portion in the radial direction and in the direction of the rotating wheel. The portion does not have an opening through which the magnetic body is exposed from the axial direction, and the cylindrical portion is in the fitted state, and the surface facing the non-rotating wheel end surface in the extended portion is a first surface, The back surface of the first surface is the second surface, and the first surface side is parallel to the axis. The direction towards the al second surface side and forward, wherein the sensor comprises a body portion having a measuring unit, a part of the circumferential direction of the second surface of the extended portion, to fix the body portion of the sensor For this purpose, a fixing part formed separately from the annular member is joined , and the fixing part has a first fixing part, and the first fixing part extends in the forward direction from the second surface of the extending part. A pressing portion is formed at an extended and bent portion, and the pressing portion is fixed by pressing the main body portion of the sensor against the extending portion by an elastic restoring force of the first fixing portion, and the pressing portion Is a shape that does not form a gap between the main body portion and the pressing portion when the main body portion is pressed, and the main body portion of the sensor is pressed and fixed to the extending portion by the pressing portion. The surface of the main body of the sensor The end on the side with the rotating wheel in the radial direction is the tip, and the two surfaces that are the end faces in the circumferential direction are side surfaces, and rail groove portions are formed on both side surfaces of the sensor body in a direction perpendicular to the axis. The fixing portion has a second fixing portion, and the second fixing portion is located on the second surface from two positions sandwiching the body portion of the sensor pressed by the first fixing portion from the circumferential direction. Extending in the forward direction and bent, a rail portion is formed at an end portion , the rail portion is fitted into the rail groove portion, the rail groove portion is formed from the middle of the side surface to the tip, and the rail portion is The rail groove is fitted to the position of the tip, and an end surface opposite to the tip of the rail groove is used as a rail groove end surface. When the pressing portion presses the main body, the main body is radially inward. The rail part is When a rail groove end surface is pushed to exert a radially outward force on the main body portion, when the rail portion and the rail groove portion are fitted, a gap is not formed between the rail portion and the rail groove portion. The second fixing portion sandwiches the main body of the sensor from both side surfaces, and a drain hole is formed in a part of the circumferential direction in the extending portion, and the inner diameter of the drain hole is equal to or larger than the outer diameter of the magnetic body. It is characterized by being.

これにより本発明に係るセンサ付き軸受装置においては、環状部材を非回転輪に嵌合し、環状部材に形成された固定部でセンサを固定し、固定部においてセンサの本体部を環状部材へと押し付ける押付け部の形状は本体部との間に隙間を形成しない形状であるので、センサと押付け部との間に異物が混入することが抑制できる。したがって従来のセンサ付き軸受装置のように使用しているうちにセンサとセンサを固定する部材との間の隙間に異物や氷が堆積して、それによりセンサの位置や姿勢がずれたり、さらにはセンサが抜けてしまったりすることが抑制できる。よって長期にわたる使用においてもセンサによる計測値に対する信頼性が高いセンサ付き軸受装置となる。   Thereby, in the bearing device with a sensor according to the present invention, the annular member is fitted to the non-rotating wheel, the sensor is fixed by the fixing portion formed on the annular member, and the main body of the sensor is turned into the annular member at the fixing portion. Since the shape of the pressing portion to be pressed is a shape that does not form a gap with the main body portion, it is possible to suppress foreign matters from being mixed between the sensor and the pressing portion. Therefore, foreign substances and ice accumulate in the gap between the sensor and the member that fixes the sensor while it is used like a conventional bearing device with a sensor. It is possible to prevent the sensor from coming off. Therefore, the sensor-equipped bearing device has high reliability with respect to the measurement value of the sensor even in long-term use.

また前記センサの本体部が前記押付け部によって前記延設部に押し付けられて固定された状態において、前記センサの本体部の表面のうちで、径方向で回転輪のある側の端部を先端、周方向の端面である2つの面を側面とし、前記センサの本体部の両側面には、軸と直交する方向にレール溝部が形成され、前記固定部は第2固定部を有し、その第2固定部は、前記第2面における、前記第1固定部により押し付けられた前記センサの本体部を周方向から挟む2つの位置から前記順方向に延びて屈曲されて先端にレール部が形成され、そのレール部が前記レール溝部に嵌合されて、前記レール溝部は前記側面の途中から前記先端まで形成され、前記レール部は前記レール溝部の前記先端の位置まで嵌合され、前記レール溝部の先端側とは反対の端面をレール溝端面とし、前記押付け部が前記本体部を押し付けるときに前記本体部に径方向内方への力を作用させ、前記レール部が前記レール溝端面を押して前記本体部に径方向外方への力を作用させ、前記レール部とレール溝部とが嵌合する際に、前記レール部とレール溝部との間に隙間が形成されずに前記第2固定部は前記センサの本体部を両側面から挟持するとしてもよい。   Further, in the state where the main body of the sensor is pressed and fixed to the extended portion by the pressing portion, the end on the side where the rotating wheel is present in the radial direction is out of the surface of the main body of the sensor, Two sides which are end faces in the circumferential direction are side surfaces, rail groove portions are formed on both side surfaces of the main body portion of the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and the fixing portion has a second fixing portion. The two fixing portions extend in the forward direction from two positions on the second surface that sandwich the main body of the sensor pressed by the first fixing portion from the circumferential direction, and are bent to form a rail portion at the tip. The rail groove is fitted to the rail groove, the rail groove is formed from the middle of the side surface to the tip, the rail is fitted to the position of the tip of the rail groove, and the rail groove Opposite to the tip The surface is a rail groove end surface, and when the pressing portion presses the main body portion, a radially inward force is applied to the main body portion, and the rail portion presses the rail groove end surface to radially outward the main body portion. When the rail portion and the rail groove portion are fitted to each other, a gap is not formed between the rail portion and the rail groove portion, and the second fixing portion is attached to the main body portion of the sensor. It may be clamped from both sides.

これにより、延設部に形成されたレール部とセンサの本体部に形成されたレール溝部とを嵌合することにより、上記押付け部とセンサとの間に隙間を形成しないことと合わせて、さらにセンサの固定が安定化される。特に、レール溝部を本体部の先端まで形成して、先端までレール部とレール溝部とを嵌合することにより、従来のように先端までレール溝部を形成しないでセンサの取り付け易さのみを考慮していた場合と比較して、センサの本体部の軸方向の位置、姿勢の固定性、安定性は高まる。さらに押付け部が本体部を径方向内方へと押し、レール部がレール溝端面を径方向外方へと押すことにより、本体部には径方向の両方から押す力が作用することにより、センサの径方向の位置の固定性、安定性は高まる。そしてレール部とレール溝部とが嵌合する際に両者の間に隙間が形成されないように形成されたことにより、センサの周方向の位置、姿勢の固定性、安定性が高まる。以上のようにレール部、レール溝部の形成によって、センサの本体部の軸方向、径方向、周方向の位置、姿勢の固定性、安定性が高められる。これにより、センサの計測値に対する信頼性が向上する。   Accordingly, by fitting the rail portion formed in the extending portion and the rail groove portion formed in the main body portion of the sensor, in addition to not forming a gap between the pressing portion and the sensor, Sensor fixing is stabilized. In particular, by forming the rail groove part to the tip of the main body part and fitting the rail part and the rail groove part to the tip part, only the ease of sensor installation is considered without forming the rail groove part to the tip as in the past. Compared with the case where it was, the position of the main part of the sensor in the axial direction, the stability of the posture, and the stability are enhanced. Further, the pressing part pushes the main body part radially inward, the rail part pushes the rail groove end face radially outward, and the main body part is subjected to a pushing force from both the radial direction. The fixation and stability of the radial position of the are increased. And when the rail part and the rail groove part are fitted together, a gap is not formed between them, so that the position and posture fixability and stability of the sensor in the circumferential direction are enhanced. As described above, by forming the rail portion and the rail groove portion, the axial direction, the radial direction, the circumferential position, the posture fixing property and the stability of the main body portion of the sensor are enhanced. Thereby, the reliability with respect to the measured value of a sensor improves.

また前記延設部は、前記延設部の内径が前記磁性体の内径よりも小さく、前記延設部の外径が前記磁性体の外径よりも大きくなるように延設されたとしてもよい。これにより、環状部材における延設部の外径及び内径が、延設部が磁性体を覆うように設定されるので、外部から異物が混入して磁性体に付着することが抑制される。したがってセンサによる磁性体の磁界の検出の信頼性が高まる。よって上記センサの固定性、安定性の向上と相まって、センサによる計測値の信頼性が高いセンサ付き軸受装置が構成できる。   The extending portion may be extended so that an inner diameter of the extending portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the magnetic body and an outer diameter of the extending portion is larger than an outer diameter of the magnetic body. . As a result, the outer diameter and inner diameter of the extended portion of the annular member are set so that the extended portion covers the magnetic body, so that foreign matters are prevented from being mixed from the outside and adhering to the magnetic body. Therefore, the reliability of detection of the magnetic field of the magnetic material by the sensor is increased. Therefore, a sensor-equipped bearing device with high reliability of the measurement value by the sensor can be configured in combination with the improvement of the fixing property and stability of the sensor.

また前記延設部には、前記環状部材の円筒部を非回転輪に嵌合して装着した状態で、非回転輪端面に突き当たる突き当て面が形成されたとしてもよい。これにより、突き当て面を非回転輪端面に突き当てることにより環状部材の位置決めが行えるので、環状部材に突き当て面が形成されていなかった従来技術と比較して、環状部材の位置決めが安定したセンサ付き軸受装置となる。したがって環状部材がぐらつくことなどによってセンサの位置、姿勢がずれることが抑制されるので、センサの計測値の信頼性をさらに向上できる。   The extending portion may be formed with an abutting surface that abuts against the end surface of the non-rotating wheel in a state in which the cylindrical portion of the annular member is fitted and attached to the non-rotating wheel. As a result, since the annular member can be positioned by abutting the abutting surface against the end surface of the non-rotating wheel, the positioning of the annular member is stable compared to the conventional technique in which the abutting surface is not formed on the annular member. It becomes a bearing device with a sensor. Therefore, since the position and posture of the sensor are prevented from shifting due to the wobbling of the annular member, the reliability of the measured value of the sensor can be further improved.

前記延設部は、前記磁性体を軸方向から覆う覆い面を有し、その覆い面は前記突き当て面よりも軸方向外方の位置に形成され、前記覆い面と前記磁性体との間には隙間が形成されたとしてもよい。これにより覆い面と磁性体との間に隙間が形成されるので、環状部材と磁性体との間に万が一異物が混入しても、環状部材と磁性体との間に異物が堆積することを抑制できる。したがって磁性体に異物が付着することによってセンサが誤った計測値を得ることを抑制するので、センサの計測値に対する信頼性の高いセンサ付き軸受装置とできる。   The extending portion has a cover surface that covers the magnetic body from the axial direction, and the cover surface is formed at a position axially outward from the abutting surface, and between the cover surface and the magnetic body. A gap may be formed in. As a result, a gap is formed between the covering surface and the magnetic body, so that even if foreign matter is mixed between the annular member and the magnetic body, the foreign matter is accumulated between the annular member and the magnetic body. Can be suppressed. Therefore, since it prevents that a sensor obtains the wrong measured value when a foreign material adheres to a magnetic body, it can be considered as a bearing device with a sensor with high reliability to the measured value of a sensor.

前記延設部には、前記突き当て面の一部を前記非回転輪端面に突き当てずに、排水のためのドレーン穴を形成したとしてもよい。これによりドレーン穴が形成されることによって軸受装置に侵入した泥水などを外部に排出できるので、センサや磁性体の泥水による汚損が低減されるので、汚損によってセンサが誤った計測値を得ることが抑制される。したがってセンサの計測値に対する信頼性の高いセンサ付き軸受装置とできる。   A drain hole for drainage may be formed in the extended portion without abutting a part of the abutting surface against the end surface of the non-rotating wheel. As a result of the drain hole being formed, muddy water that has entered the bearing device can be discharged to the outside, so that contamination of the sensor and magnetic material due to muddy water is reduced, so that the sensor may obtain an erroneous measurement value due to contamination. It is suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a sensor-equipped bearing device with high reliability with respect to the measured value of the sensor.

前記ドレーン穴は前記ドレーン穴から軸方向に前記磁性体が露出しない位置に形成されたとしてもよい。これにより磁性体がドレーン穴から軸方向に露出しないので、磁性体にドレーン穴から混入した異物が付着する可能性が低減する。したがって磁性体に異物が付着してセンサが誤った計測値を得ることが抑制されるので、センサの計測値に対する信頼性の高いセンサ付き軸受装置とできる。   The drain hole may be formed at a position where the magnetic body is not exposed in the axial direction from the drain hole. Accordingly, since the magnetic body is not exposed in the axial direction from the drain hole, the possibility that foreign matters mixed from the drain hole adhere to the magnetic body is reduced. Therefore, since it is suppressed that a foreign substance adheres to a magnetic body and a sensor obtains a wrong measured value, it can be considered as a bearing device with a sensor with high reliability to a measured value of a sensor.

前記環状部材において前記固定部以外の部位をカバー部とし、そのカバー部と前記固定部とは別体として形成された後に接合され、前記カバー部は、前記磁性体を軸方向に露出させることなく全周に渡って覆うとしてもよい。これにより、従来技術において固定部とカバー部とを一体に成型していたことによりカバー部の一部に開口部が不可避的に形成されてしまい、その開口部から磁性体が露出していたのと異なり、カバー部が磁性体を軸方向に露出させることなく全周に渡って覆うこととなる。したがって、磁性体に外部から混入した異物が付着してセンサが誤った計測値を得ることが抑制されるので、センサの計測値に対する信頼性の高いセンサ付き軸受装置とできる。   In the annular member, a part other than the fixed part is used as a cover part, and the cover part and the fixed part are joined after being formed as separate bodies, and the cover part does not expose the magnetic body in the axial direction. It is also possible to cover the entire circumference. As a result, in the prior art, the fixed part and the cover part were integrally molded, so that an opening was inevitably formed in a part of the cover part, and the magnetic body was exposed from the opening. Unlike the case, the cover portion covers the entire circumference without exposing the magnetic body in the axial direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sensor from obtaining an erroneous measurement value due to foreign matter adhering to the magnetic body from the outside, and thus a highly reliable bearing device with a sensor for the sensor measurement value can be obtained.

軸受装置1における外側(車輪側)にはシール6が配置されて、外部から異物が軸受内部に侵入することを防止する。シール6のさらに外側には永久磁石製のマグネットロータ7(磁性体)が内輪3に外嵌されている。マグネットロータ7は周方向にそってN極、S極が交互に配列された構造であり、軸2、内輪3の回転によって磁束密度が変化し、後述するABSセンサ20(センサ)がこの変化を検出することにより回転速度を計測する。   A seal 6 is disposed on the outer side (wheel side) of the bearing device 1 to prevent foreign matter from entering the bearing from the outside. A magnet rotor 7 (magnetic body) made of a permanent magnet is fitted on the inner ring 3 on the outer side of the seal 6. The magnet rotor 7 has a structure in which N poles and S poles are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction. The magnetic flux density is changed by the rotation of the shaft 2 and the inner ring 3, and the ABS sensor 20 (sensor) described later changes this change. The rotation speed is measured by detecting.

外輪4にはセンサ20を軸受装置1に固定するための円環形状の環状部材10が外嵌されている。そして環状部材10にセンサ20が固定されている。センサ20の環状部材10への固定方法が本発明の主要部分であり、以下で説明する。   A ring-shaped annular member 10 for fixing the sensor 20 to the bearing device 1 is fitted on the outer ring 4. A sensor 20 is fixed to the annular member 10. The method of fixing the sensor 20 to the annular member 10 is a main part of the present invention, and will be described below.

図2は軸受装置1の斜視図であり、図3がその要部拡大図である。そして図4がセンサ20のみを示した図、図5が環状部材10のみを示した要部拡大図である。図4に示されたセンサ20は、大きくは本体部21と信号線22とに分けられる。本体部21に磁束密度を検出する検出部が備えられている。そして計測値をのせた信号が信号線22を通じて車両に搭載されたECUへと送られる。   FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the bearing device 1, and FIG. 4 is a view showing only the sensor 20, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of a main part showing only the annular member 10. As shown in FIG. The sensor 20 shown in FIG. 4 is roughly divided into a main body 21 and a signal line 22. The main body 21 is provided with a detection unit that detects the magnetic flux density. A signal carrying the measured value is sent to the ECU mounted on the vehicle through the signal line 22.

本体部21の表面は、先端24、上面23、側面25を含む。本体部21はもうひとつの側面を有し、それは図4には示されていない部位にある側面25の裏側にある面である。また上面23とは裏側にある、図4には示されていない面を底面とする。センサ20は、図3に示されたとおり、先端24を径方向内方に向けて、かつ底面を環状部材10に向けた姿勢で、環状部材10に固定される。   The surface of the main body 21 includes a tip 24, an upper surface 23, and side surfaces 25. The main body 21 has another side surface, which is a surface on the back side of the side surface 25 in a portion not shown in FIG. Further, the surface on the back side of the upper surface 23 and not shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the sensor 20 is fixed to the annular member 10 with the tip 24 directed radially inward and the bottom surface directed to the annular member 10.

図4に示されているように、側面25には、側面25の途中から先端24までレール溝部26が形成されている。レール溝部は両側面に同形状で形成されているとする。レール溝部26の先端24とは逆側の端面をレール溝端面26aとする。また図4に示されているとおり、上面23には、凹部23aが形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 4, a rail groove 26 is formed on the side surface 25 from the middle of the side surface 25 to the tip 24. It is assumed that the rail groove is formed in the same shape on both side surfaces. The end surface opposite to the tip 24 of the rail groove 26 is defined as a rail groove end surface 26a. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a recess 23 a is formed on the upper surface 23.

図5に示された環状部材10は、外輪4に外嵌するための円筒部10aと、円筒部10aの端部から径方向内方へと延設された延設部10bとを有する。そして延設部10bの軸受装置外方の面には、センサ20を固定するための部位として、第1固定部11と第2固定部13とが形成されている。第1固定部11は、延設部10bの軸方向外方の面(軸受から遠い方の面、つまり図1では図示左方側の面)から湾曲する形状で形成され、押付け部12を有する。   The annular member 10 shown in FIG. 5 has a cylindrical portion 10a for externally fitting to the outer ring 4, and an extending portion 10b that extends radially inward from the end of the cylindrical portion 10a. And the 1st fixing | fixed part 11 and the 2nd fixing | fixed part 13 are formed in the surface outside the bearing apparatus of the extending part 10b as a site | part for fixing the sensor 20. As shown in FIG. The first fixing portion 11 is formed in a shape curved from the axially outer surface (the surface far from the bearing, that is, the left side surface in FIG. 1) of the extending portion 10 b, and has a pressing portion 12. .

第1固定部11は弾性を有し、弾性変形された第1固定部の弾性復元力によって、センサ20を押し付けることによってセンサを固定する。押付け部12には屈曲部12aが形成され、これが前述の本体部21の凹部23aと一致する形状となっている。したがって押付け部12が本体部21の上面23を押し付けるときに、凹部23と屈曲部12aとが嵌合し隙間無く接する。それも含めて押付け部12全体の形状が、上面23を押し付ける際に、隙間が形成されない形状に設計されている。   The 1st fixing | fixed part 11 has elasticity, and fixes a sensor by pressing the sensor 20 with the elastic restoring force of the 1st fixing | fixed part elastically deformed. The pressing portion 12 is formed with a bent portion 12a, which has a shape that matches the concave portion 23a of the main body portion 21 described above. Therefore, when the pressing portion 12 presses the upper surface 23 of the main body portion 21, the concave portion 23 and the bent portion 12a are fitted and come into contact with no gap. The shape of the entire pressing portion 12 including that is designed so that no gap is formed when the upper surface 23 is pressed.

第2固定部13は、延設部10bの軸方向外方の面の2箇所から、軸方向外方へ向かって延び途中から屈曲した形状で形成され、先端にレール部14が形成されている。センサ20が径方向外方から挿入されることにより、レール部14が、前述のレール溝部26内に挿入される。レール部14はその端部がレール溝端面26aに接する位置まで挿入される。   The second fixing portion 13 is formed in a shape that extends from two locations on the axially outer surface of the extending portion 10b toward the axially outward direction and is bent from the middle, and a rail portion 14 is formed at the tip. . When the sensor 20 is inserted from the outside in the radial direction, the rail portion 14 is inserted into the rail groove portion 26 described above. The rail portion 14 is inserted to a position where the end portion is in contact with the rail groove end surface 26a.

押付け部12がセンサ20を押し付けるときに、凹部23a、屈曲部12aの存在により、径方向内方へ向けての力を作用させる。この力によりセンサ20の本体部21に径方向内方への力が作用し、逆にレール溝端面26aがレール部14から径方向外方への力を受ける。以上の径方向内方へと外方へのふたつの力により、本体部21の径方向の位置決めがなされ、同方向への移動が規制される。   When the pressing portion 12 presses the sensor 20, a force directed inward in the radial direction is applied due to the presence of the concave portion 23a and the bent portion 12a. Due to this force, a radially inward force acts on the main body portion 21 of the sensor 20, and conversely, the rail groove end surface 26 a receives a radially outward force from the rail portion 14. Due to the two forces inward and outward in the radial direction, the main body portion 21 is positioned in the radial direction, and movement in the same direction is restricted.

また上記挿入の際に、レール部14とレール溝部26との間に隙間が形成されないように、レール部14とレール溝部26と寸法が設計されることにより、本体部21の周方向の位置決めがなされ、周方向への移動が規制される。さらに押付け部12が本体部21を軸方向内方(軸受の内側に向かう方向、つまり図1では図示右方)へと押すことにより、軸方向内方への力を作用させ、逆にレール部14が、その反対方向に、つまり軸方向外方へと本体部21を押し返すことにより、本体部21の軸方向の位置決めがなされ、軸方向への移動が規制される。   In addition, the dimensions of the rail portion 14 and the rail groove portion 26 are designed so that no gap is formed between the rail portion 14 and the rail groove portion 26 during the insertion, thereby positioning the main body portion 21 in the circumferential direction. The movement in the circumferential direction is restricted. Further, the pressing portion 12 pushes the main body portion 21 inward in the axial direction (the direction toward the inner side of the bearing, that is, the right side in FIG. 1), thereby applying a force inward in the axial direction, and conversely the rail portion. 14 pushes back the main body 21 in the opposite direction, that is, outward in the axial direction, thereby positioning the main body 21 in the axial direction and restricting movement in the axial direction.

また延設部10bには、センサ用孔部10cが形成されており、これを通してセンサ20はマグネットロータ7に直接対向する。これにより回転速度の計測がおこなえる。また環状部材10には開口部19が存在する。なお環状部材は電着塗装、めっきによる表面処理、あるいは亜鉛めっき鋼板を用いればよい。これにより防錆性を有することとなる。   A sensor hole 10c is formed in the extended portion 10b, and the sensor 20 directly faces the magnet rotor 7 through the hole 10c. Thereby, the rotation speed can be measured. The annular member 10 has an opening 19. The annular member may be electrodeposition coating, surface treatment by plating, or galvanized steel sheet. Thereby, it will have rust prevention property.

次に図6には、図1の図示下半分の拡大図が示されている。同図及び図2に示されているように、円環形状の環状部材10には、上記円筒部10aの内周面として外輪4に外嵌する嵌合面15、延設部10bの最外周部に形成されて外輪の端面4aに突き当てられる突当て面16、その内周側に、マグネットロータ7を覆う覆い面17が形成されている。   Next, FIG. 6 shows an enlarged view of the lower half of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, the annular member 10 has a ring-shaped annular member 10 that has a fitting surface 15 that fits on the outer ring 4 as an inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical portion 10 a and an outermost circumference of the extending portion 10 b. An abutting surface 16 that is formed on the outer ring and is abutted against the end surface 4a of the outer ring, and a covering surface 17 that covers the magnet rotor 7 is formed on the inner peripheral side thereof.

突当て面16が形成されて、外輪端面4aに突き当てられることによって、環状部材10の軸方向の位置決めが成される。覆い面17は、隙間を隔ててマグネットロータ7を周方向に沿って覆う。覆い面17の内径φaはマグネットロータ7の内径φb以下とする。これにより覆い面17はマグネットロータ7が外部に露出することを抑制する。   The abutting surface 16 is formed and abutted against the outer ring end surface 4a, whereby the annular member 10 is positioned in the axial direction. The covering surface 17 covers the magnet rotor 7 along the circumferential direction with a gap therebetween. The inner diameter φa of the cover surface 17 is set to be equal to or smaller than the inner diameter φb of the magnet rotor 7. As a result, the cover surface 17 prevents the magnet rotor 7 from being exposed to the outside.

これにより外部から異物が混入してマグネットロータ7に付着することを抑制する。またマグネットロータ7と覆い面17との間に隙間cが形成されているので、万一異物が混入しても、マグネットロータ7と覆い面17との間に堆積することが抑制される。こうした覆い面17の形状によりマグネットロータ7の長期使用における信頼性が向上する。   Thereby, it is possible to prevent foreign matters from being mixed in and attached to the magnet rotor 7 from the outside. In addition, since the gap c is formed between the magnet rotor 7 and the cover surface 17, even if foreign matter is mixed in, the accumulation between the magnet rotor 7 and the cover surface 17 is suppressed. The shape of the covering surface 17 improves the reliability of the magnet rotor 7 in long-term use.

図7、図8に上記実施例の変形例1が示されているので、以下で説明する。この変形例1のセンサ付き転がり軸受装置1b(軸受装置)においては環状部材の図示下部に排水のためのドレーン穴18が形成されている。図7、図8に図示された下部が、実際に軸受装置1bが車両に装着された状態での下部に対応するとすればよい。このドレーン穴18によって、軸受装置1bの内部に侵入してしまった泥水などが外部に排出できる。   7 and 8 show a first modification of the above embodiment, which will be described below. In the rolling bearing device with sensor 1b (bearing device) of the first modified example, a drain hole 18 for drainage is formed in the lower part of the annular member in the figure. The lower part illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 may correspond to the lower part when the bearing device 1b is actually mounted on the vehicle. Through this drain hole 18, muddy water or the like that has entered the bearing device 1 b can be discharged to the outside.

図8に示されるとおり、ドレーン穴18の内径φeはマグネットロータ7の外形φd以上とする。これによりドレーン穴18の存在によってマグネットロータ7が外部に露出することが抑制される。したがって、外部からドレーン穴18を通って異物が混入してマグネットロータ7に付着することを抑制するので、マグネットロータ7の長期使用における信頼性が向上する。   As shown in FIG. 8, the inner diameter φe of the drain hole 18 is equal to or larger than the outer diameter φd of the magnet rotor 7. This suppresses the magnet rotor 7 from being exposed to the outside due to the presence of the drain hole 18. Accordingly, since foreign matters are prevented from entering and adhering to the magnet rotor 7 through the drain hole 18 from the outside, the reliability of the magnet rotor 7 in long-term use is improved.

図9、図10、図11には変形例2が示されている。図9には変形例2におけるセンサ付き転がり軸受装置1cの斜視図が示されている。センサ付き転がり軸受装置1cにおいては、前述の環状部材10が、固定部35とカバー部30とに別個に形成されて後に接合されている。図10にはカバー部30が、図11には固定部35が示されている。   A second modification is shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11. FIG. 9 shows a perspective view of the sensor-equipped rolling bearing device 1c according to the second modification. In the sensor-equipped rolling bearing device 1c, the annular member 10 described above is formed separately on the fixed portion 35 and the cover portion 30 and joined later. 10 shows the cover part 30 and FIG. 11 shows the fixing part 35.

図10に示されているとおり、カバー部30は、大まかに述べれば環状部材10から第1固定部11と第2固定部13とを除去した形状である。カバー部30には、環状部材10と同様に、センサ用孔部31とドレーン穴18とが形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 10, the cover portion 30 has a shape in which the first fixing portion 11 and the second fixing portion 13 are removed from the annular member 10, roughly speaking. Similar to the annular member 10, a sensor hole 31 and a drain hole 18 are formed in the cover 30.

固定部35は図11にされているとおり、板部36上に、孔部37、第1固定部11、第2固定部13とが形成されている。第1固定部11の形状、押付け部12、屈曲部12aの存在は、環状部材10上に形成された場合と同様である。また第2固定部13の形状、レール部14の存在も、環状部材10上に形成された場合と同様である。孔部37をセンサ用孔部31と重なった位置に配置して、固定部35をカバー部30に溶接あるいは接着する。   As shown in FIG. 11, the fixing portion 35 has a hole portion 37, a first fixing portion 11, and a second fixing portion 13 formed on the plate portion 36. The shape of the first fixing part 11, the pressing part 12, and the presence of the bent part 12 a are the same as when formed on the annular member 10. The shape of the second fixing portion 13 and the presence of the rail portion 14 are the same as when formed on the annular member 10. The hole portion 37 is disposed at a position overlapping the sensor hole portion 31, and the fixing portion 35 is welded or bonded to the cover portion 30.

図2及び図7と図9とを比較すると明らかに、図9のセンサ付き軸受装置1cにおいては、開口部19が存在しない。開口部19は、図2、図9のように、1つの工程で環状部材10を製作する場合には不可避的に形成されてしまう。開口部19の存在によりマグネットロータ7が外部に露出してしまう。   Clearly comparing FIG. 2 and FIG. 7 with FIG. 9, there is no opening 19 in the sensor-equipped bearing device 1c of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 9, the opening 19 is inevitably formed when the annular member 10 is manufactured in one process. The magnet rotor 7 is exposed to the outside due to the presence of the opening 19.

それに対し、図9では別部材としてカバー部30と固定部35とを作成して、その後両者を溶接あるいは接着したので、カバー部30には開口部を形成しないことが可能である。これによりマグネットロータ7が外部に露出してしまうことが回避できるので、外部から異物が混入してマグネットロータ7に付着することを抑制するので、マグネットロータ7の長期使用における信頼性が向上する。なおカバー部30と固定部35とは、両者に孔部を形成してボルト締結あるいはリベット加締めによって固定してもよい。   On the other hand, in FIG. 9, the cover part 30 and the fixing part 35 are formed as separate members, and then both are welded or bonded, so that it is possible not to form an opening in the cover part 30. Since it can avoid that the magnet rotor 7 is exposed to the outside by this, since it suppresses that a foreign material mixes in from the outside and adheres to the magnet rotor 7, the reliability in the long-term use of the magnet rotor 7 improves. In addition, the cover part 30 and the fixing | fixed part 35 may form a hole part in both, and may fix it by bolt fastening or rivet caulking.
