Description

この発明は、車体に対して車輪を回転自在に支持する自動車等における車輪用軸受に関する。   The present invention relates to a wheel bearing in an automobile or the like that rotatably supports a wheel with respect to a vehicle body.

トラックなどの車両は、乗用車と比較してライフサイクル期間内での走行距離が長く、100万Km以上走行する。このような車両の場合、これに搭載される車輪用軸受の寿命向上だけでなく、その車輪用軸受の軸受空間の端部に設けられる軸受密封装置のシール性能の寿命向上も望まれている。そこで、この種の軸受密封装置として、図12に示すように、軸受内輪に取付けられる断面L字状のシール板82と、このシール板82の外径側に立ち上がる立板部82bに対して、径方向に並んで摺動自在に接する2枚のサイドリップ83a,83bを有し、軸受外輪に取付けられる芯金付きの弾性シール部材83とでなり、耐泥水性能向上を図ったものが提案されている(例えば特許文献1)。
特開2007−9938号公報
A vehicle such as a truck has a longer travel distance within a life cycle period than a passenger car, and travels 1 million km or more. In the case of such a vehicle, it is desired not only to improve the life of the wheel bearing mounted on the vehicle, but also to improve the life of the seal performance of the bearing sealing device provided at the end of the bearing space of the wheel bearing. Therefore, as this type of bearing sealing device, as shown in FIG. 12, with respect to a sealing plate 82 having an L-shaped cross section attached to the bearing inner ring and a standing plate portion 82b rising on the outer diameter side of the sealing plate 82, It has two side lips 83a and 83b that are slidably in contact with each other in the radial direction, and is composed of an elastic seal member 83 with a cored bar that is attached to the bearing outer ring. (For example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2007-9938 A

上記したように、軸受密封装置に2枚のサイドリップ83a,83bを設けると、従来の一般的な軸受密封装置に比べて耐泥水性能は2倍程度増加するが、トラックなどの走行距離を考えた場合は、さらなる耐泥水性能が求められる。   As described above, when the two side lips 83a and 83b are provided in the bearing sealing device, the anti-muddy water performance is increased about twice as compared with the conventional general bearing sealing device. In such a case, further muddy water resistance is required.

この発明の目的は、重量増加を招くことなく耐泥水性能を向上させることができる車輪用軸受を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a wheel bearing capable of improving muddy water resistance without causing an increase in weight.

この発明の車輪用軸受は、互いに複列の転動体を介して相対回転する外方部材と内方部材を有し、これら外方部材と内方部材の間の軸受空間の両端に軸受密封装置を有し、車体に対して車輪を支持する車輪用軸受において、前記軸受空間におけるインボード側端およびアウトボード側端のいずれか一方または両方に設けられる軸受密封装置を、前記内方部材および外方部材にそれぞれ取付けられて互いに対向する環状のシール板および弾性シール部材からなるものとし、前記シール板は、前記内方部材の外周に嵌合する円筒部およびこの円筒部の端部から立ち上がる立板部からなる断面L字状の金属製とされ、前記弾性シール部材は、環状の芯金およびこの芯金に固着された弾性体からなり、前記芯金は前記外方部材の内周面に嵌合する円筒部およびこの円筒部の端部から立ち下がる立板部を有し前記シール板と対向する断面L字状とされ、前記弾性体は、互いに前記芯金の径方向の内外に並びそれぞれ先端が前記シール板の立板部に接する2枚のサイドリップと、軸方向に並び前記シール板の外周面に先端が接触または近接する2枚のラジアルリップとを有し、
前記2枚のサイドリップおよび前記2枚のラジアルリップは、いずれも、前記弾性体における前記芯金の前記立板部を覆う覆い部分からそれぞれ独立して延び、
前記2枚のサイドリップは、前記芯金の前記立板部から前記覆い部分を介して斜め外径側へ延び、
前記2枚のラジアルリップは、前記芯金の前記立板部の先端から前記覆い部分を介して延び、これら2枚のラジアルリップのうち、前記シール板の立板部側のラジアルリップは前記シール板の立板部側へ斜め内径側へ延びる、
ことを特徴とする。
この構成によると、シール板の立板部に接する2枚のサイドリップと、シール板の外周面に先端が接触または近接する2枚のラジアルリップとを有するため、優れた耐泥水性能が得られる。なお、密封装置における前記シール板の内径面から、前記弾性シール部材の外径面までの径方向長さである密封装置断面高さを、9〜15mmとした場合には、重量増加を招くことなく耐泥水性能を向上させることができる。密封装置断面高さを9mmより低くすると、上記2枚のサイドリップおよび2枚のラジアルリップを有する構造の軸受密封装置が成り立たず、15mmより高くすると、車輪用軸受の径方向寸法が大きくなって車輪用軸受の重量増加を招くので好ましくない。
The wheel bearing according to the present invention has an outer member and an inner member that rotate relative to each other via double row rolling elements, and a bearing sealing device at both ends of a bearing space between the outer member and the inner member. And a bearing sealing device provided at one or both of the inboard side end and the outboard side end in the bearing space, the wheel bearing supporting the wheel with respect to the vehicle body. An annular seal plate and an elastic seal member, which are respectively attached to the side members and face each other, are made up of a cylindrical portion fitted to the outer periphery of the inner member and an upright standing up from an end portion of the cylindrical portion. It is made of a metal having an L-shaped cross section composed of a plate portion, and the elastic seal member is composed of an annular cored bar and an elastic body fixed to the cored bar, and the cored bar is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer member. Mating cylinder And an L-shaped cross section having a standing plate portion that falls from an end portion of the cylindrical portion and facing the seal plate, and the elastic bodies are aligned with each other in the radial direction of the cored bar, and the tips thereof are the seals Two side lips that are in contact with the vertical plate portion of the plate, and two radial lips that are arranged in the axial direction and whose tip is in contact with or close to the outer peripheral surface of the seal plate,
Each of the two side lips and the two radial lips extends independently from a covering portion that covers the standing plate portion of the cored bar in the elastic body,
The two side lips extend from the standing plate portion of the core metal to the oblique outer diameter side through the covering portion,
The two radial lips extend from the tip of the vertical plate portion of the core metal through the cover portion, and the radial lip on the vertical plate portion side of the seal plate is the seal lip of the two radial lips. Extends diagonally to the inner diameter side toward the vertical plate part side of the plate,
It is characterized by that.
According to this structure, since it has two side lips which contact | connect the standing board part of a sealing plate, and two radial lips which a front-end | tip contacts or adjoins to the outer peripheral surface of a sealing plate, the outstanding muddy water resistance performance is obtained. . When the sealing device cross-sectional height, which is the radial length from the inner diameter surface of the sealing plate in the sealing device to the outer diameter surface of the elastic seal member, is 9 to 15 mm, the weight increases. The muddy water resistance can be improved. If the cross-sectional height of the sealing device is lower than 9 mm, the bearing sealing device having the structure having the two side lips and the two radial lips cannot be realized, and if it is higher than 15 mm, the radial dimension of the wheel bearing is increased. This is not preferable because it increases the weight of the wheel bearing.

In the present invention, one of the two radial lips may be provided with a ring-shaped spring member for biasing the diameter.
As described above, in the configuration in which the radial lip is provided with the ring-shaped spring member that urges the diameter of the radial lip, the radial lip contact with the cylindrical portion of the seal plate is strengthened, and the radial due to the eccentricity when the bearing is mounted on the vehicle Since the followability of the lip is increased, the sealing effect by the radial lip can be further enhanced.

In this specification, the side closer to the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle when attached to the vehicle is referred to as the outboard side, and the side closer to the center of the vehicle is referred to as the inboard side.
The wheel bearing 20 includes an outer member 21 and an inner member 22 that rotate relative to each other via double row rolling elements 23, and rotatably supports the wheel with respect to the vehicle body. . The rolling element 23 is formed of a tapered roller, and is formed on the inner periphery of the outer member 21. Double row conical rolling surfaces 24 adjacent to each other on the small diameter side, and the inner members facing the rolling surfaces 24 respectively. It is interposed between double-row conical rolling surfaces 25 formed on the outer periphery of 22. The inner member 22 is a split inner ring in which two bearing inner rings 22A are arranged in the axial direction. The rolling elements 23 are held by a holder 26 for each row. Here, the outer member 21 is a fixed member, and the inner member 22 is a rotating member. Both ends of the bearing space between the outer member 21 and the inner member 22 are sealed by bearing sealing devices 1 and 11, respectively.

車輪用軸受20のインボード側端に設けられる軸受密封装置1は、図2に示すように、前記内方部材22および外方部材21にそれぞれ取付けられて互いに対向する環状のシール板2および弾性シール部材3からなる。シール板2はスリンガとなる部材であって、内方部材22の外周面に嵌合する円筒部2aと、この円筒部2aの端部から立ち上がる立板部2bとからなる断面L字状の金属製とされる。弾性シール部材3は、環状の芯金4に弾性体5を固着したものである。芯金4は、外方部材21の内周面に嵌合する円筒部4aと、この円筒部4aの端部から立ち下がる立板部4bとを有し、前記シール板2と軸方向に対向する断面逆L字状とされている。弾性体5は、芯金4の内側を覆って設けられたものであり、2枚のサイドリップ5a,5bと、2枚のラジアルリップ5c,5dとを有する。2枚のサイドイップ5a,5bは、互いに芯金4の径方向の内外に並んで配置され、芯金4の立板部4bから斜め外径側へ延びて、それぞれ先端が前記シール板2の立板部2bに接する。サイドリップ5a,5bは外部からの泥水浸入防止用である。1枚のラジアルリップ5cも泥水浸入防止用であり、芯金4の立板部4bの先端からシール板2の立板部2b側へ斜め内径側へ延びて、先端が前記シール板2の円筒部2aに接する。もう1枚のラジアルリップ5dはグリース漏れ防止用であり、芯金4の立板部4bの先端からシール板2の立板部2bと反対側へ斜め内径側へ延びて、先端が前記シール板2の円筒部2aに接する。前記各サイドリップ5a,5bおよびラジアルリップ5c,5dは、具体的には弾性体5における芯金4の立板部4bを覆う覆い部分5eを介して芯金4から延びている。シール板2の内径面から、弾性シール部材3の外径面までの径方向長さである密封装置断面高さHは、9〜15mmとされている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the bearing sealing device 1 provided at the inboard side end of the wheel bearing 20 is attached to the inner member 22 and the outer member 21, respectively, and the annular seal plate 2 and the elastic member facing each other. It consists of a seal member 3. The seal plate 2 is a member that becomes a slinger, and is a metal having an L-shaped cross section that includes a cylindrical portion 2a that fits to the outer peripheral surface of the inner member 22 and a standing plate portion 2b that rises from an end of the cylindrical portion 2a. It is made. The elastic seal member 3 is obtained by fixing an elastic body 5 to an annular cored bar 4. The core metal 4 has a cylindrical portion 4a fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the outer member 21, and a standing plate portion 4b that falls from the end of the cylindrical portion 4a, and is opposed to the seal plate 2 in the axial direction. The cross section has an inverted L shape. The elastic body 5 is provided so as to cover the inner side of the cored bar 4, and has two side lips 5a and 5b and two radial lips 5c and 5d. The two side lips 5a and 5b are arranged side by side in the radial direction of the cored bar 4, extend from the standing plate part 4b of the cored bar 4 to the oblique outer diameter side, and the tip of each of the side plates 5a and 5b of the seal plate 2 It contacts the upright plate portion 2b. The side lips 5a and 5b are for preventing muddy water from entering from the outside. One radial lip 5c is also for preventing muddy water intrusion, and extends from the tip of the standing plate portion 4b of the cored bar 4 toward the standing plate portion 2b side of the sealing plate 2 toward the inner diameter side, and the tip is a cylinder of the sealing plate 2 It contacts the part 2a. Another radial lip 5d is for preventing grease leakage, and extends from the tip of the upright plate portion 4b of the core metal 4 to the side opposite to the upright plate portion 2b of the seal plate 2 toward the oblique inner diameter side, and the tip is the seal plate. that Sessu to 2 of the cylindrical portion 2a. The side lips 5a and 5b and the radial lips 5c and 5d extend from the cored bar 4 through a covering part 5e that covers the upright part 4b of the cored bar 4 in the elastic body 5, specifically. From the inner diameter surface of the sheet Lumpur plate 2, the sealing device section height H radial in length to the outer diameter surface of the elastic sealing member 3 is a 9~15Mm.

このように、上記構成の車輪用軸受20では、その軸受空間のインボード側端に設けられる軸受密封装置1における密封装置断面高さHを9〜15mmとしているので、耐泥水性能を向上させることができる。密封装置断面高さHを9mmより低くすると、上記2枚のサイドリップ5a,5bおよび2枚のラジアルリップ5c,5dを有する構造の軸受密封装置1が成り立たないし、15mmより高くすると、車輪用軸受20の径方向寸法が大きくなって車輪用軸受20の重量増加を招くので好ましくない。すなわち、この車輪用軸受装置20によると、重量増加を招くことなく耐泥水性能を向上させることができる。なお、図1の車輪用軸受20では、軸受空間のインボード側端だけを図2の構造の軸受密封装置1で密封しているが、軸受空間のアウトボード側端も同じ軸受密封装置1で密封するようにしても良い。一般的には、車輪用軸受において、インボード側端は、泥水等がかかり易い箇所となるが、アウトボード側端は泥水等がかかり難いため、アウトボード側端の密封装置11は簡易な構成のもので足りる。   Thus, in the wheel bearing 20 having the above-described configuration, the sealing device cross-sectional height H in the bearing sealing device 1 provided at the inboard side end of the bearing space is set to 9 to 15 mm, so that the muddy water resistance is improved. Can do. If the sealing device cross-sectional height H is lower than 9 mm, the bearing sealing device 1 having the structure having the two side lips 5a and 5b and the two radial lips 5c and 5d does not hold. This is not preferable because the radial dimension of 20 increases and the weight of the wheel bearing 20 increases. That is, according to the wheel bearing device 20, the muddy water resistance can be improved without causing an increase in weight. 1, only the inboard side end of the bearing space is sealed with the bearing sealing device 1 having the structure of FIG. 2, but the outboard side end of the bearing space is also sealed with the same bearing sealing device 1. It may be sealed. In general, in the wheel bearing, the inboard side end is a place where the muddy water or the like is easily applied, but the outboard side end is difficult to receive the muddy water or the like. It ’s enough.

図3は、前記軸受密封装置1の他の構成例を示す。この構成例では、図2の構成例において、2枚のラジアルリップ5c,5dのうち、シール板2の立板部2b側へ延びる1枚のラジアルリップ5cに、縮径付勢するリング状ばね部材6が設けられている。リング状ばね部材6には、ガータスプリング等が用いられる。その他の構成は、図2の構成例の場合と同様である。図1の車輪用軸受20において、インボード側端の軸受密封装置1を図3の構成例のものに置き換えた例を図6に示す。   FIG. 3 shows another configuration example of the bearing sealing device 1. In this configuration example, in the configuration example of FIG. 2, of the two radial lips 5 c and 5 d, one radial lip 5 c extending toward the standing plate portion 2 b side of the seal plate 2 is ring-shaped spring that biases the diameter of the ring spring. A member 6 is provided. A garter spring or the like is used for the ring-shaped spring member 6. Other configurations are the same as those in the configuration example of FIG. FIG. 6 shows an example in which the bearing sealing device 1 at the inboard side end in the wheel bearing 20 of FIG. 1 is replaced with the configuration example of FIG.

このように、ラジアルリップ5cに縮径付勢するリング状ばね部材6が設けられた構成では、シール板2の円筒部2aへのラジアルリップ5cの接触が強められると共に、車両への軸受取り付け時の偏芯によるラジアルリップ5cのリップ追従性が増すので、ラジアルリップ5cによる泥水浸入防止効果がさらに高まる。   As described above, in the configuration in which the radial lip 5c is provided with the ring-shaped spring member 6 that urges the diameter of the radial lip 5c, the radial lip 5c contacts the cylindrical portion 2a of the seal plate 2 and the bearing is attached to the vehicle. Since the lip followability of the radial lip 5c due to the eccentricity of is increased, the effect of preventing the muddy water from entering by the radial lip 5c is further enhanced.

図4は、この発明とは異なる提案例に係る軸受密封装置の構成例を示す。この構成例では、図2の構成例において、2枚のサイドリップ5a,5bのうち、内径側のサイドリップ5bを、2枚のラジアルリップ5c,5dのうち、シール板2の立板部2b側へ延びる1枚のラジアルリップ5cの先端から延びて一体のシールリップを構成するように形成している。その他の構成は、図2の構成例の場合と同様である。 FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of a bearing sealing device according to a proposed example different from the present invention . In this configuration example, in the configuration example of FIG. 2, the side lip 5b on the inner diameter side of the two side lips 5a and 5b is replaced with the upright plate portion 2b of the seal plate 2 of the two radial lips 5c and 5d. It is formed so as to extend from the tip of one radial lip 5c extending to the side to constitute an integral seal lip. Other configurations are the same as those in the configuration example of FIG.

このように、内径側のサイドリップ5bを、ラジアルリップ5cの先端から延びて一体のシールリップを構成するように形成した場合には、軸受密封装置1のシールリップ構造を簡略化できるので、密封装置断面高さHを15mm以下に抑えるのが容易となる。   In this way, when the side lip 5b on the inner diameter side is formed to extend from the tip of the radial lip 5c so as to constitute an integral seal lip, the seal lip structure of the bearing sealing device 1 can be simplified. It becomes easy to suppress the apparatus cross-sectional height H to 15 mm or less.

図5は、この発明とは異なる提案例である軸受密封装置の他の構成例を示す。この構成例では、図4の構成例において、前記サイドリップ5bとラジアルリップ5cとが一体となったシールリップに、縮径付勢するリング状ばね部材6が設けられている。その他の構成は、図4の構成例の場合と同様である。 FIG. 5 shows another configuration example of a bearing sealing device which is a proposed example different from the present invention . In this configuration example, in the configuration example of FIG. 4, a ring-shaped spring member 6 that biases the diameter is provided on a seal lip in which the side lip 5 b and the radial lip 5 c are integrated. Other configurations are the same as those in the configuration example of FIG.

このように、内径側のサイドリップ5bを、ラジアルリップ5cの先端から延びて一体のシールリップを構成するように形成すると共に、一体のシールリップに縮径付勢するリング状ばね部材6を設けた場合には、軸受密封装置1のシールリップ構造を簡略化できて密封装置断面高さHを15mm以下に抑えることが容易になると共に、シール板2の立板部2bおよび円筒部2aへのサイドリップ5bおよびラジアルリップ5cの接触が強められ、車両への軸受取り付け時の偏芯によるラジアルリップ5cのリップ追従性が増すので、泥水浸入防止効果がさらに高まる。   In this way, the side lip 5b on the inner diameter side is formed so as to form an integral seal lip extending from the tip of the radial lip 5c, and the ring-shaped spring member 6 is provided to reduce the diameter of the integral seal lip. In this case, the seal lip structure of the bearing sealing device 1 can be simplified, and the sealing device cross-sectional height H can be easily suppressed to 15 mm or less, and the seal plate 2 can be connected to the standing plate portion 2b and the cylindrical portion 2a. The contact between the side lip 5b and the radial lip 5c is strengthened, and the lip following ability of the radial lip 5c due to the eccentricity when the bearing is attached to the vehicle is increased, so that the muddy water intrusion preventing effect is further enhanced.
