Description

本発明は、玉軸受に関する。 The present invention relates to ball bearings.

各種産業機器には多くの転がり軸受が用いられている。転がり軸受は、内輪、外輪、これら内輪と外輪との間に介在している複数の転動体、及び、複数の転動体を保持する環状の保持器を備えている。このような転がり軸受の中でも特に、転動体が玉である玉軸受は回転抵抗が小さく高速回転性能に優れている。 Many rolling bearings are used in various industrial equipment. The rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements interposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and an annular cage that holds the plurality of rolling elements. Among such rolling bearings, a ball bearing whose rolling element is a ball has a small rotational resistance and is excellent in high-speed rotation performance.

玉軸受に用いられている保持器として、玉の軸方向一方側に位置する環状部と、この環状部から軸方向他方側に向かって延びている複数の柱部とを有し、いわゆる冠形保持器と呼ばれているものが知られている。この保持器では、周方向で隣り合う柱部の間が玉を収容するポケットとなる（例えば、特許文献１参照）。 As a cage used for a ball bearing, it has a so-called crown shape having an annular portion located on one axial side of the ball and a plurality of pillar portions extending from the annular portion toward the other axial side. What is called a retainer is known. In this cage, the space between adjacent pillars in the circumferential direction serves as a pocket for accommodating balls (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

高速で回転することのある玉軸受では、保持器は外輪によって径方向についての位置決めが行われている。つまり、玉軸受（内輪）が回転すると複数の玉と共に保持器も回転するが、この際、保持器が有する環状部の外周面が外輪の肩部の内周面に滑り接触可能となっており、これにより保持器は外輪によってガイドされる。 In a ball bearing that may rotate at a high speed, the cage is radially positioned by an outer ring. That is, when the ball bearing (inner ring) rotates, the cage also rotates together with the plurality of balls, but at this time, the outer peripheral surface of the annular portion of the retainer is in sliding contact with the inner peripheral surface of the shoulder portion of the outer ring. , Whereby the cage is guided by the outer ring.

特開２００８−４５５７２号公報JP, 2008-45572, A

玉軸受が高速で回転すると保持器には大きな遠心力が作用する。保持器のうち、環状部は全体が円環形状であることから遠心力の影響を比較的受けにくい、つまり、環状部における変形は小さい。しかし、柱部は、遠心力が作用すると、特に環状部から離れている先端側において径方向外側へ大きく変形するおそれがある。柱部が大きく変形すると、その先端側が外輪と干渉する可能性があり、また、大きく変形する柱部の影響を環状部が受け、外輪の肩部に対する環状部の接触態様が想定外となる場合がある。遠心力の影響によって保持器が外輪により適切にガイドされない状態になると、玉軸受の回転抵抗が増加したり異音が発生したり回転性能が低下してしまう。 When the ball bearing rotates at high speed, a large centrifugal force acts on the cage. Since the entire annular portion of the cage has an annular shape, it is relatively unaffected by centrifugal force, that is, the deformation of the annular portion is small. However, when the centrifugal force acts on the column portion, there is a possibility that the column portion is largely deformed radially outward particularly at the tip end side away from the annular portion. If the column part is greatly deformed, its tip side may interfere with the outer ring, and if the annular part is affected by the column part that is greatly deformed, and the contact state of the annular part with the shoulder part of the outer ring is unexpected. There is. If the cage is not properly guided by the outer ring due to the influence of centrifugal force, the rotational resistance of the ball bearing increases, abnormal noise occurs, and the rotational performance deteriorates.

そこで、本発明は、玉軸受が高速で回転する場合であっても、外輪により保持器を安定してガイドさせることを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to stably guide the cage by the outer ring even when the ball bearing rotates at a high speed.

本発明の玉軸受は、内輪、外輪、前記内輪と前記外輪との間に設けられている複数の玉、及び、前記複数の玉を保持する環状の保持器を備え、前記保持器は、軸方向一方側の環状部と、当該環状部から軸方向他方側に向かって延びている複数の柱部と、を有し、周方向で隣り合う前記柱部の間が前記玉を収容するポケットとなり、前記環状部の外周面と前記柱部の径方向外側面とによって構成される保持器外側面は、前記外輪の内周面の軸方向一方側の一部に接触することで前記保持器の径方向についての位置決めを行うための接触面部と、当該保持器外側面の軸方向途中部から軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側へと傾斜する傾斜面部と、を有している。 The ball bearing of the present invention includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of balls provided between the inner ring and the outer ring, and an annular retainer that holds the plurality of balls, and the retainer is a shaft. An annular portion on one side in the direction and a plurality of pillar portions extending from the annular portion toward the other side in the axial direction are provided, and a space between the adjacent pillar portions in the circumferential direction serves as a pocket for accommodating the ball. The cage outer surface formed by the outer peripheral surface of the annular portion and the radially outer surface of the column portion is in contact with a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring on one side in the axial direction of the cage. It has a contact surface portion for performing positioning in the radial direction and an inclined surface portion that inclines radially inward from the middle portion of the outer surface of the cage in the axial direction toward the other side in the axial direction.

この玉軸受によれば、遠心力によって柱部の軸方向他方側の部分が径方向外側に変形しても、前記傾斜面部によって当該部分が外輪に接触するのを防ぐことができ、また、前記傾斜面部により、柱部の軸方向他方側の部分の体積を小さくして軽量化することも可能となり、遠心力を小さくして変形を軽減することができる。この結果、玉軸受が高速回転しても、保持器外側面の前記接触面部が、外輪の内周面の軸方向一方側の一部に対して適切に接触することができ、高速回転性能を維持することが可能となる。 According to this ball bearing, even if a portion of the column portion on the other side in the axial direction is radially outwardly deformed by centrifugal force, it is possible to prevent the portion from coming into contact with the outer ring due to the inclined surface portion. The inclined surface portion also makes it possible to reduce the volume of the portion of the column portion on the other side in the axial direction to reduce the weight, and reduce the centrifugal force to reduce deformation. As a result, even when the ball bearing rotates at a high speed, the contact surface portion of the outer surface of the cage can appropriately contact a part of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring on one side in the axial direction. It is possible to maintain.

また、前記保持器外側面の前記軸方向途中部は、前記柱部の前記径方向外側面における軸方向途中部であるのが好ましい。
この場合、前記傾斜面部は、柱部の径方向外側面における軸方向途中部から軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側へ傾斜する構成となる。この構成によれば、柱部の先端側（軸方向他方側）で径方向に細くなるが、柱部の基部側（軸方向一方側）では細くならず剛性が維持され、遠心力による柱部の変形を抑えることが可能となる。 Further, it is preferable that the axially middle portion of the cage outer side surface is an axially middle portion of the column portion on the radial outer side surface.
In this case, the inclined surface portion is configured to incline radially inward from the axially intermediate portion of the radially outer surface of the column portion toward the other axial side. According to this configuration, the tip end side (the other side in the axial direction) of the pillar portion becomes thinner in the radial direction, but the base portion side (one side in the axial direction) of the pillar portion does not become thinner and the rigidity is maintained, and the pillar portion by the centrifugal force is maintained. It is possible to suppress the deformation.

また、前記環状部の内周面と前記柱部の径方向内側面とによって構成される保持器内側面は、当該内周面を含む小径内側面部と、当該小径内側面部よりも径方向外側に位置しかつ当該小径内側面部の軸方向他方側に位置している大径内側面部と、を有しているのが好ましい。
この構成によれば、保持器内側面において、小径内側面部と大径内側面部とにより段付き形状が形成される。このため、小径内側面部と大径内側面部との間の壁面部によって、保持器内側面の軸方向他方側に存在する潤滑油が、軸方向一方側に流出するのを阻害することができ、この潤滑油は玉の潤滑のために用いられやすくなる。 Further, the retainer inner side surface constituted by the inner peripheral surface of the annular portion and the radial inner side surface of the column portion is a small-diameter inner side surface portion including the inner peripheral surface, and radially outward of the small-diameter inner side surface portion. And a large-diameter inner side surface portion located on the other axial side of the small-diameter inner side surface portion.
According to this structure, a stepped shape is formed on the inner surface of the cage by the small-diameter inner side surface portion and the large-diameter inner side surface portion. Therefore, by the wall surface portion between the small diameter inner side surface portion and the large diameter inner side surface portion, the lubricating oil present on the other axial side of the cage inner side surface can be prevented from flowing out to one axial side, This lubricating oil is easier to use for ball lubrication.

また、前記小径内側面部と前記大径内側面部との境界は、前記ポケットの軸方向一方側の端よりも軸方向他方側に位置しているのが好ましい。
この場合、小径内側面部と大径内側面部との間の壁面部によって軸方向一方側への流出が阻害された潤滑油は、ポケットに保持されている玉に付着しやすくなり、潤滑油は玉の潤滑のためにより一層用いられやすくなる。 Further, it is preferable that the boundary between the small-diameter inner side surface portion and the large-diameter inner side surface portion is located on the other side in the axial direction than the end on the one side in the axial direction of the pocket.
In this case, the lubricating oil whose wall surface between the small-diameter inner surface portion and the large-diameter inner surface portion blocks outflow to one side in the axial direction easily adheres to the balls held in the pockets, and the lubricating oil is It becomes easier to use because of the lubrication.

本発明によれば、玉軸受が高速回転しても、保持器外側面の接触面部が、外輪の内周面の軸方向一方側の一部に対して適切に接触することができ、高速回転性能を維持することが可能となる。 According to the present invention, even if the ball bearing rotates at a high speed, the contact surface portion of the outer surface of the cage can appropriately contact a part of one side of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring in the axial direction. It is possible to maintain the performance.

〔保持器１４について〕
図２は、保持器１４を示す説明図であり、保持器１４を半分に切断した状態を示している。保持器１４は、複数の玉１３を周方向に沿って所定間隔（等間隔）をあけて保持することができ、このために、保持器１４には玉１３を保持するポケット２０が周方向に沿って複数形成されている。本実施形態の保持器１４は、いわゆる冠型保持器であり、玉１３の軸方向一方側（図１及び図２では左側）に設けられている環状部２１と、この環状部２１から軸方向他方側（図１及び図２では右側）に向かって延びて設けられている複数の柱部２２とを有している。環状部２１は、図２の上側半分において断面（ハッチ）で示している部分であり、環状部２１と柱部２２との境界を二点鎖線で示している。環状部２１の軸方向他方側であって周方向で隣り合う一対の柱部２２，２２の間の空間が、玉１３を収容するポケット２０となる。保持器１４は、樹脂製であり、例えば射出成形によって、環状部２１と柱部２２とは一体となって成形されている。 [Cage 14]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the cage 14, and shows a state in which the cage 14 is cut in half. The cage 14 can hold a plurality of balls 13 at predetermined intervals (equal intervals) along the circumferential direction, and for this reason, the pockets 20 for holding the balls 13 are circumferentially provided on the cage 14. A plurality are formed along the line. The cage 14 of the present embodiment is a so-called crown type cage, and includes an annular portion 21 provided on one axial side (the left side in FIGS. 1 and 2) of the ball 13 and an axial direction from the annular portion 21. It has the some pillar part 22 extended and provided toward the other side (right side in FIG.1 and FIG.2). The annular portion 21 is a portion indicated by a cross section (hatch) in the upper half of FIG. 2, and the boundary between the annular portion 21 and the column portion 22 is indicated by a chain double-dashed line. The space between the pair of pillar portions 22, 22 that are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction on the other side in the axial direction of the annular portion 21 is the pocket 20 that accommodates the balls 13. The cage 14 is made of resin, and the annular portion 21 and the column portion 22 are integrally formed by injection molding, for example.

保持器１４のポケット２０は、仮想の円筒面に沿った形状であるポケット面２５を有している。この仮想の円筒面は、軸受中心線Ｃ０に直交する仮想線を中心線とする円筒形状の面である。ポケット面２５（前記仮想の円筒面）の直径は、玉１３の直径よりも僅かに大きい。玉１３は球体であることから、円筒面に沿った形状であるポケット面２５に点接触する。各柱部２２の軸方向他方側には爪部２９が形成されており、爪部２９は、ポケット２０から玉１３が脱落するのを防いでいる。 The pocket 20 of the cage 14 has a pocket surface 25 having a shape along an imaginary cylindrical surface. This imaginary cylindrical surface is a cylindrical surface whose center line is an imaginary line orthogonal to the bearing center line C0. The diameter of the pocket surface 25 (the virtual cylindrical surface) is slightly larger than the diameter of the ball 13. Since the ball 13 is a sphere, it makes point contact with the pocket surface 25 having a shape along the cylindrical surface. A claw portion 29 is formed on the other axial side of each column portion 22, and the claw portion 29 prevents the balls 13 from falling out of the pocket 20.

環状部２１の外周面３１は軸受中心線Ｃ０を中心とする円筒面からなり、また、各柱部２２の径方向外側面３２は環状部２１の外周面３１から軸方向他方側に延びる面からなる。なお、後に説明するが、柱部２２の径方向外側面３２は、その軸方向途中部（３６）から傾斜する傾斜面部３７を有している。環状部２１の外周面３１と、複数の柱部２２の径方向外側面３２とによって、保持器外側面３０が構成される。 The outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 is a cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0, and the radially outer surface 32 of each column portion 22 is a surface extending from the outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 to the other side in the axial direction. Become. As will be described later, the radially outer surface 32 of the column portion 22 has an inclined surface portion 37 that inclines from the axial middle portion (36) thereof. The outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 and the radially outer surface 32 of the plurality of pillar portions 22 form a cage outer surface 30.

環状部２１の内周面４１は軸受中心線Ｃ０を中心とする円筒面からなり、また、各柱部２２の径方向内側面４２は環状部２１の内周面４１から軸方向他方側に延びる面からなる。なお、後に説明するが、柱部２２の径方向内側面４２は段付き面となっている。環状部２１の内周面４１と、複数の柱部２２の径方向内側面４２とによって、保持器内側面４０が構成される。 The inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 is a cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0, and the radially inner side surface 42 of each column portion 22 extends from the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 to the other side in the axial direction. Consists of faces. As will be described later, the radially inner side surface 42 of the column portion 22 is a stepped surface. The inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 and the radial inner side surfaces 42 of the plurality of column portions 22 form a retainer inner side surface 40.

図３は、保持器１４の一部及びその周囲を拡大して示す断面図である。
先ず、保持器外側面３０について説明する。環状部２１の外周面３１は、外輪１２の肩部５５の内周面１９と隙間を有して対向しており、保持器１４が径方向に変位することで、この環状部２１の外周面３１（及び後述する柱部２２の一部３８ａ）が、肩部５５の内周面１９に接触可能となっている。これにより、保持器１４は、外輪１２によって径方向の位置決めがされる外輪案内のものとなる。 FIG. 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a part of the cage 14 and its surroundings.
First, the cage outer surface 30 will be described. The outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 faces the inner peripheral surface 19 of the shoulder portion 55 of the outer ring 12 with a gap, and the cage 14 is displaced in the radial direction, whereby the outer peripheral surface of the annular portion 21. 31 (and a part 38 a of the post portion 22 described later) can contact the inner peripheral surface 19 of the shoulder portion 55. As a result, the cage 14 becomes an outer ring guide that is radially positioned by the outer ring 12.

各柱部２２の径方向外側面３２は、外側中間面部３８と、傾斜面部３７とを有している。外側中間面部３８は、軸受中心線Ｃ０（図２参照）を中心とする仮想の円筒面に沿った面からなり、この仮想の円筒面と環状部２１の外周面３１とは直径（外径）が同じである。つまり、環状部２１の外周面３１と柱部２２の外側中間面部３８とは、軸方向に沿って連続して平滑であり、相互間に折れ曲がり角度を有していない。この外側中間面部３８に対して、傾斜面部３７は折れ曲がり角度Ｐを有している。この角度Ｐは、軸受中心線Ｃ０を中心とする仮想の円筒面に対する傾斜角度となる。 The radially outer surface 32 of each column portion 22 has an outer intermediate surface portion 38 and an inclined surface portion 37. The outer intermediate surface portion 38 is a surface along a virtual cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0 (see FIG. 2), and the virtual cylindrical surface and the outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 have a diameter (outer diameter). Are the same. That is, the outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 and the outer intermediate surface portion 38 of the column portion 22 are continuously smooth along the axial direction, and have no bending angle between them. The inclined surface portion 37 has a bending angle P with respect to the outer intermediate surface portion 38.

The contact surface portion 35 comes into contact with the outer ring 12, whereby the cage 14 is positioned in the radial direction.

傾斜面部３７は、外側中間面部３８の軸方向他方側の端部（保持器外側面３０の軸方向途中部３６）から軸方向他方側に向かって形成されている。傾斜面部３７は、軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側（内輪１１側）へと傾斜している。本実施形態では、傾斜面部３７は直線状に傾斜している。傾斜面部３７の軸方向他方側の端部３７ａは、柱部２２の最も軸方向他方側の端部となる。
以上より、本実施形態の保持器外側面３０は、軸方向一方側から順に、環状部２１の外周面３１、外側中間面部３８及び傾斜面部３７を有する構成となる。 The inclined surface portion 37 is formed from the end portion on the other axial side of the outer intermediate surface portion 38 (the axially intermediate portion 36 of the cage outer surface 30) toward the other axial side. The inclined surface portion 37 is inclined radially inward (inner ring 11 side) toward the other side in the axial direction. In this embodiment, the inclined surface portion 37 is linearly inclined. The end portion 37 a of the inclined surface portion 37 on the other side in the axial direction is the end portion of the pillar portion 22 on the other side on the other side in the axial direction.
As described above, the cage outer surface 30 of the present embodiment is configured to have the outer peripheral surface 31, the outer intermediate surface portion 38, and the inclined surface portion 37 of the annular portion 21 in this order from one side in the axial direction.

次に、保持器内側面４０について説明する。各柱部２２の径方向内側面４２は、内側中間面部４８と、大径内側面部４７とを有している。内側中間面部４８は、軸受中心線Ｃ０（図２参照）を中心とする仮想の円筒面に沿った面からなり、この仮想の円筒面と環状部２１の内周面４１とは直径（内径）が同じである。つまり、環状部２１の内周面４１と柱部２２の内側中間面部４８とは、軸方向に沿って連続して平滑であり、相互間に折れ曲がり角度を有していない。これら環状部２１の内周面４１と内側中間面部４８とによって、共通する仮想の円筒面上に位置する小径内側面部４６が構成されている。 Next, the cage inner surface 40 will be described. The radially inner side surface 42 of each column portion 22 has an inner intermediate surface portion 48 and a large diameter inner side surface portion 47. The inner intermediate surface portion 48 is a surface along a virtual cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0 (see FIG. 2), and the virtual cylindrical surface and the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 have a diameter (inner diameter). Are the same. That is, the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 and the inner intermediate surface portion 48 of the column portion 22 are continuously smooth along the axial direction and have no bending angle between them. The inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 and the inner intermediate surface portion 48 form a small-diameter inner side surface portion 46 located on a common virtual cylindrical surface.

前記大径内側面部４７は、軸受中心線Ｃ０（図２参照）を中心とする仮想の円筒面に沿った面からなり、大径内側面部４７は、小径内側面部４６（内側中間面部４８）よりも径方向外側に位置している。これにより、小径内側面部４６（内側中間面部４８）と大径内側面部４７との間には壁面部４９が設けられている。本実施形態の壁面部４９は、軸方向他方側に臨む環状の面であり、小径内側面部４６（内側中間面部４８）及び大径内側面部４７それぞれと直交している。 The large-diameter inner side surface portion 47 is a surface along an imaginary cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0 (see FIG. 2), and the large-diameter inner side surface portion 47 is smaller than the small-diameter inner side surface portion 46 (inner intermediate surface portion 48). Is also located radially outside. As a result, a wall surface portion 49 is provided between the small diameter inner side surface portion 46 (inner intermediate surface portion 48) and the large diameter inner side surface portion 47. The wall surface portion 49 of the present embodiment is an annular surface that faces the other side in the axial direction, and is orthogonal to each of the small diameter inner side surface portion 46 (inner intermediate surface portion 48) and the large diameter inner side surface portion 47.

壁面部４９は、小径内側面部４６と大径内側面部４７との境界となる面である。本実施形態では、前記のとおり、各柱部２２の径方向内側面４２には内側中間面部４８が含まれていることから、壁面部４９は、ポケット２０の軸方向一方側の端２６よりも軸方向他方側に位置している。なお、この壁面部４９は、玉１３の中心よりも軸方向一方側に位置しており、環状部２１に近い側に偏って位置している。
以上より、本実施形態の保持器内側面４０は、軸方向一方側から順に、環状部２１の内周面４１、内側中間面部４８、壁面部４９及び大径内側面部４７を有する構成となる。このうち、環状部２１の内周面４１及び内側中間面部４８によって、小径内側面部４６が構成されている。 The wall surface portion 49 is a surface serving as a boundary between the small diameter inner side surface portion 46 and the large diameter inner side surface portion 47. In the present embodiment, as described above, since the inner intermediate surface portion 48 is included in the radially inner side surface 42 of each column portion 22, the wall surface portion 49 is more than the end 26 on one axial side of the pocket 20. It is located on the other side in the axial direction. The wall surface portion 49 is located on the one side in the axial direction with respect to the center of the ball 13 and is biased toward the side closer to the annular portion 21.
As described above, the cage inner side surface 40 of the present embodiment has a configuration including the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21, the inner intermediate surface portion 48, the wall surface portion 49, and the large-diameter inner side surface portion 47 in this order from one side in the axial direction. Of these, the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 and the inner intermediate surface portion 48 form a small-diameter inner side surface portion 46.

〔本実施形態の玉軸受１０について〕
以上より、本実施形態の玉軸受１０が備えている保持器１４において、保持器外側面３０は、環状部２１の外周面３１と、複数の柱部２２の径方向外側面３２とによって構成されており、この保持器外側面３０は、接触面部３５及び傾斜面部３７を有している。接触面部３５は、外輪１２の内周面の軸方向一方側の一部、つまり、肩部５５の内周面１９に接触し、保持器１４の径方向についての位置決めを行うための面として機能する。傾斜面部３７は、保持器外側面３０の軸方向途中部３６から軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側へと傾斜する面となっている。本実施形態では、前記軸方向途中部３６は、柱部２２の径方向外側面３２における軸方向途中部である。 [Regarding the ball bearing 10 of the present embodiment]
As described above, in the cage 14 included in the ball bearing 10 of the present embodiment, the cage outer surface 30 is constituted by the outer peripheral surface 31 of the annular portion 21 and the radial outer surfaces 32 of the plurality of column portions 22. The retainer outer surface 30 has a contact surface portion 35 and an inclined surface portion 37. The contact surface portion 35 contacts a part of the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 12 on one axial side, that is, the inner peripheral surface 19 of the shoulder portion 55, and functions as a surface for positioning the retainer 14 in the radial direction. To do. The inclined surface portion 37 is a surface inclined inward in the radial direction from the axially intermediate portion 36 of the cage outer surface 30 toward the other axial side. In the present embodiment, the axially intermediate portion 36 is the axially intermediate portion of the radially outer surface 32 of the column portion 22.

ここで、玉軸受１０が回転すると（内輪１１が回転すると）、複数の玉１３と共に保持器１４も回転する。玉軸受１０が高速回転すると、保持器１４の回転数も高速となる。すると、保持器１４には遠心力が作用し、拡径方向に弾性変形する。そこで、前記のとおり、保持器外側面３０は、接触面部３５と傾斜面部３７とを有している。接触面部３５により高速で回転する保持器１４をガイドする。そして、遠心力によって柱部２２（特に軸方向他方側の部分２７）が径方向外側（外輪１２側）に変形しても、傾斜面部３７によって、柱部２２の軸方向他方側の部分２７が外輪１２に接触するのを防ぐことができる。 Here, when the ball bearing 10 rotates (the inner ring 11 rotates), the cage 14 also rotates together with the plurality of balls 13. When the ball bearing 10 rotates at high speed, the rotation speed of the cage 14 also becomes high. Then, a centrifugal force acts on the cage 14 and elastically deforms in the radial direction. Therefore, as described above, the cage outer surface 30 has the contact surface portion 35 and the inclined surface portion 37. The contact surface portion 35 guides the cage 14 rotating at a high speed. Even if the column portion 22 (particularly, the portion 27 on the other axial side) is deformed radially outward (on the outer ring 12 side) by the centrifugal force, the inclined surface portion 37 causes the portion 27 on the other axial side of the column portion 22 to move. It is possible to prevent contact with the outer ring 12.

この柱部２２の軸方向他方側の部分２７は、遠心力が作用することで径方向外側に変形するが、所定の高速回転数で回転することによる当該部分２７の変形によって、傾斜面部３７が、軸受中心線Ｃ０（図２参照）を中心とする円筒面に沿った形状となることも可能である。なお、傾斜面部３７の傾斜角度（前記角度Ｐ、図３参照）は、この点を考慮して設定されている。つまり、保持器１４が設計上の最大回転数で回転することで柱部２２が遠心力によって変形した際に、傾斜面部３７が軸受中心線Ｃ０と平行となる状態が変形の上限となるように、前記傾斜角度は設定されている。 The portion 27 on the other side in the axial direction of the column portion 22 is deformed radially outward by the action of a centrifugal force, but the inclined surface portion 37 is deformed by the deformation of the portion 27 by rotating at a predetermined high rotation speed. It is also possible to have a shape along a cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0 (see FIG. 2). The inclination angle of the inclined surface portion 37 (the angle P, see FIG. 3) is set in consideration of this point. That is, when the retainer 14 rotates at the designed maximum number of rotations and the column portion 22 is deformed by the centrifugal force, the upper limit of deformation is such that the inclined surface portion 37 is parallel to the bearing center line C0. The inclination angle is set.

また、この傾斜面部３７により、柱部２２の軸方向他方側の部分２７が一部において欠損した形状となり、体積を小さくして軽量化することも可能となり、発生する遠心力を小さくして変形を軽減することができる。
以上より、玉軸受１０が高速回転しても、柱部２２の軸方向他方側の部分２７が、外輪１２に接触せず、接触面部３５が、外輪１２の軸方向一方側の肩部５５の内周面１９に対して適切に接触することができる。この結果、保持器１４による回転抵抗の増加を防ぎ、異音の発生や発熱を防止し、高速回転性能を維持することが可能となる。 Further, due to the inclined surface portion 37, the portion 27 on the other side in the axial direction of the column portion 22 has a shape that is partially lost, and it is also possible to reduce the volume and weight, and to reduce the centrifugal force that occurs and deform it. Can be reduced.
From the above, even if the ball bearing 10 rotates at a high speed, the portion 27 of the column portion 22 on the other axial side does not contact the outer ring 12, and the contact surface portion 35 of the shoulder portion 55 on the one axial side of the outer ring 12. The inner peripheral surface 19 can be appropriately contacted. As a result, it is possible to prevent an increase in rotation resistance due to the cage 14, prevent abnormal noise and heat generation, and maintain high-speed rotation performance.

更に本実施形態では、前記のとおり、傾斜面部３７は、柱部２２の径方向外側面３２における軸方向途中部３６から軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側へ傾斜する構成となっている。このため、柱部２２の先端側（軸方向他方側の部分２７）で径方向に細くなるが、柱部２２の基部側（軸方向一方側の部分２８）では細くならず剛性が維持され、遠心力による柱部２２の変形を抑えることが可能となる。 Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the inclined surface portion 37 is configured to incline radially inward from the axially intermediate portion 36 of the radially outer surface 32 of the column portion 22 toward the other axial side. .. Therefore, the tip end side of the column portion 22 (the portion 27 on the other side in the axial direction) becomes thin in the radial direction, but the base portion side of the column portion 22 (the portion 28 on the one side in the axial direction) does not become thin and the rigidity is maintained. It is possible to suppress the deformation of the column portion 22 due to the centrifugal force.

また、保持器内側面４０に着目すると、保持器内側面４０は、環状部２１の内周面４１と柱部２２の径方向内側面４２とによって構成されており、この保持器内側面４０は、環状部２１の内周面４１を含む小径内側面部４６と、この小径内側面部４６よりも径方向外側に位置しかつこの小径内側面部４６の軸方向他方側に位置している大径内側面部４７とを有している。これにより、保持器内側面４０において、小径内側面部４６と大径内側面部４７とにより段付き形状が形成される。
ここで、玉軸受１０は環状空間１５にグリース（潤滑油）が設けられており、各部の潤滑性を確保している。玉軸受１０が回転すると、例えば内輪１１側のグリースは遠心力で径方向外側に向かい、保持器内側面４０に付着し、この保持器内側面４０に留まることがある。
そこで、本実施形態の保持器内側面４０では、小径内側面部４６と大径内側面部４７との間の壁面部４９によって、保持器内側面４０の軸方向他方側に存在するグリースＧ（図３参照）が、軸方向一方側に流出するのを阻害することができる。このため、グリースＧは、ポケット面２５と玉１３との間に入りやすくなり、玉１３の潤滑のために用いられやすくなる。 Focusing on the cage inner side surface 40, the cage inner side surface 40 is constituted by the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21 and the radial inner side surface 42 of the column portion 22, and the cage inner side surface 40 is A small-diameter inner side surface portion 46 including the inner peripheral surface 41 of the annular portion 21, and a large-diameter inner side surface portion located radially outside the small-diameter inner side surface portion 46 and on the other axial side of the small-diameter inner side surface portion 46. And 47. As a result, a stepped shape is formed on the cage inner side surface 40 by the small diameter inner side surface portion 46 and the large diameter inner side surface portion 47.
Here, in the ball bearing 10, grease (lubricating oil) is provided in the annular space 15 to ensure the lubricity of each part. When the ball bearing 10 rotates, for example, the grease on the inner ring 11 side may be directed radially outward by centrifugal force, adhere to the inner surface 40 of the cage, and remain on the inner surface 40 of the cage.
Therefore, in the cage inner side surface 40 of the present embodiment, the grease G existing on the other side in the axial direction of the cage inner side surface 40 due to the wall surface portion 49 between the small diameter inner side surface portion 46 and the large diameter inner side surface portion 47 (FIG. 3). Can be prevented from flowing out to one side in the axial direction. Therefore, the grease G easily enters between the pocket surface 25 and the ball 13 and is easily used for lubricating the ball 13.

特に、図３に示す形態では、小径内側面部４６と大径内側面部４７との境界、つまり、前記壁面部４９は、ポケット２０の軸方向一方側の端２６よりも軸方向他方側に位置している。このため、壁面部４９によって軸方向一方側への流出が阻害されたグリースＧは、より一層ポケット面２５と玉１３との間に入りやすくなり、ポケット２０に保持されている玉１３に付着しやすくなり、玉１３の潤滑のために用いられやすくなる。 In particular, in the form shown in FIG. 3, the boundary between the small-diameter inner side surface portion 46 and the large-diameter inner side surface portion 47, that is, the wall surface portion 49 is located on the other side in the axial direction than the end 26 on one side in the axial direction of the pocket 20. ing. Therefore, the grease G, which is prevented from flowing out to one side in the axial direction by the wall surface portion 49, is more likely to enter between the pocket surface 25 and the ball 13, and adheres to the ball 13 held in the pocket 20. It becomes easy to use, and it becomes easy to be used for lubrication of the ball 13.

また、図２に示すように、各柱部２２は軸方向他方側に一対の爪部２９，２９を有している。これら爪部２９，２９の間は、略Ｖ字状に大きく切り欠かれた形状となっており、これにより柱部２２を軽量化し、保持器１４の回転に伴う遠心力が小さくなるようにしている。また、このように各柱部２２が略Ｖ字状に切り欠かれた形状となっていることで、玉軸受１０の組み立ての際、内輪１１と外輪１２との間に介在している複数の玉１３に対して保持器１４を取り付ける際、爪部２９を容易に弾性変形させることができ、組み立てが容易となる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 2, each pillar 22 has a pair of claws 29, 29 on the other side in the axial direction. Between the claws 29, 29, there is a large notch in a substantially V shape, which reduces the weight of the column 22 and reduces the centrifugal force associated with the rotation of the cage 14. There is. In addition, since each of the pillar portions 22 is notched in a substantially V shape in this manner, a plurality of intervening rings are interposed between the inner ring 11 and the outer ring 12 when the ball bearing 10 is assembled. When attaching the retainer 14 to the ball 13, the claw portion 29 can be easily elastically deformed, which facilitates the assembly.

なお、前記実施形態では、保持器外側面３０において、傾斜面部３７の始点となる保持器外側面３０の軸方向途中部３６が、柱部２２の径方向外側面３２における軸方向途中部である場合、つまり、柱部２２の径方向外側面３２が、傾斜面部３７の他に、外側中間面部３８を有している場合について説明したが、（図示しないが）外側中間面部３８を省略してもよい。この場合、傾斜面部３７は、環状部２１と各柱部２２との境界を始点とし、軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側へと傾斜する面となる。つまり、柱部２２の径方向外側面３２の全体が傾斜面部３７となる。 In the above embodiment, the axially intermediate portion 36 of the cage outer side surface 30, which is the starting point of the inclined surface portion 37, is the axially intermediate portion of the radial outer side surface 32 of the column portion 22 in the cage outer side surface 30. In the case, that is, the case where the radially outer surface 32 of the column portion 22 has the outer intermediate surface portion 38 in addition to the inclined surface portion 37, the outer intermediate surface portion 38 (not shown) is omitted. Good. In this case, the inclined surface portion 37 is a surface that starts from the boundary between the annular portion 21 and each of the column portions 22 and inclines radially inward toward the other side in the axial direction. That is, the entire radially outer surface 32 of the column portion 22 becomes the inclined surface portion 37.

また、保持器内側面４０において、壁面部４９が、小径内側面部４６（内側中間面部４８）及び大径内側面部４７それぞれと直交する場合を説明したが、壁面部４９は、これら内周面４１及び内側中間面部４８に対して傾斜していてもよい。また、大径内側面部４７は、軸受中心線Ｃ０を中心とする円筒面に沿った形状である場合について説明したが、軸方向他方側に向かうにしたがって径方向内側に傾斜する面であってもよい。この場合、保持器１４に遠心力が作用して柱部２２（軸方向他方側の部分２７）が径方向外側に変形しても、この大径内側面部４７に付着するグリースＧは、軸方向他方側に向かって流出し難くなり、玉１３の潤滑のために用いられやすくなる。 Further, in the cage inner side surface 40, the case where the wall surface portion 49 is orthogonal to the small diameter inner side surface portion 46 (inner intermediate surface portion 48) and the large diameter inner side surface portion 47 has been described, but the wall surface portion 49 has the inner peripheral surface 41. And may be inclined with respect to the inner intermediate surface portion 48. Further, although the large-diameter inner side surface portion 47 has been described as having a shape along a cylindrical surface centered on the bearing center line C0, it may be a surface inclined inward in the radial direction toward the other side in the axial direction. Good. In this case, even if the column portion 22 (the portion 27 on the other side in the axial direction) is deformed radially outward due to the centrifugal force acting on the cage 14, the grease G adhering to the large-diameter inner side surface portion 47 is It becomes difficult to flow toward the other side, and is easily used for lubrication of the balls 13.

以上のとおり開示した実施形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではない。つまり、本発明の玉軸受は、図示する形態に限らず本発明の範囲内において他の形態のものであってもよい。玉軸受は、深溝玉軸受以外であってもよく、アンギュラ玉軸受であってもよい。 The embodiments disclosed above are illustrative in all points and not restrictive. That is, the ball bearing of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated form, and may have other forms within the scope of the present invention. The ball bearing may be other than the deep groove ball bearing, or may be an angular ball bearing.
