Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain effect for constant-speed joint to become difficult to come off even if it is positioned at a large operating angle by heating a shaft using high-frequency current, deforming the internal surface of a boot, and fitting it partly into the peripheral grooves for boot mounting of the shaft to increase restraining force of the boot on the shaft. CONSTITUTION:Multiple peripheral grooves 3 are formed in the outer surface of a shaft 1. A restraining ring 8 made from composite material of epoxy resin or nylon 66, etc., is fitted closely onto the external periphery of the small diameter end of a boot 4. A positioning rib is formed on the internal periphery of the small diameter end of the boot 4. The small diameter end 5 is fitted closely onto the peripheral grooves 3 of the shaft 1, and a coil 9 for high-frequency heating is fitted around the periphery of the restraining ring 8. Then high-frequency current is flown into the coil 9 for high-frequency heating. By this, the shaft 1 is heated and the internal surface of the small diameter end 5 is soften or melted due to its heat. Thus the end 5 is closely fitted partly into the recess of the peripheral grooves 3.

A bellows-shaped boot that is attached between the outer ring and inner ring shaft of a constant velocity joint is generally attached by tightening the end of the boot with a band. In addition, if the boots are made of thermoplastic elastomer such as polyester resin, they are less flexible than rubber, so as shown in Fig. 3, and fit the end 5 of the boot 4 into the circumferential groove 3,
Its outer peripheral surface is tightened by a band 6.

Thermoplastic elastomer boots as described above (e.g.
Boots made under the trade name "Hytrel" have a large bending modulus of elasticity that is about 10 times that of ordinary vulcanized rubber (in other words, they have little flexibility), so the constant velocity joint takes a large operating angle and can be used for long periods of time. When used, it may be pulled out from the mounting part. Particularly, the (routing) can be seen at the small diameter end 5 of the boot 4.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for attaching a thermoplastic elastomer boot to a constant velocity joint, in which a circumferential groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the constant velocity joint, and the boot is fitted onto the circumferential groove. High-frequency heating is applied from the outer periphery of the end, thereby heating the boot end of the constant velocity joint, and the inner surface of the boot end, which has softened or melted due to the heat, is partially fitted into the circumferential groove. .

As shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of circumferential grooves 3 similar to the conventional one are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 1. On the other hand, a restraining ring 8 made of epoxy resin or a composite material of nylon 66 is fitted around the small diameter end 5 of the Hytrel boot 4.

The small-diameter end 5 is fitted around the circumferential groove 3 of the shaft 1, and a high-frequency heating coil 9 is mounted around the restraining ring 8. Thereafter, a high frequency current having a frequency of 30 kllz, a voltage of 2.5 KV, and a current of 2 OA is passed through the high frequency heating coil 9 for about 13 seconds.

As a result, the shaft 1 is heated, and the inner surface of the end portion 5 is softened or melted by the heat. Therefore, the end portion 5 follows the recess of the circumferential groove 3 and partially fits into it. Number 1 in Figure 2
0 indicates the inserted portion.

As described above, the present invention heats the shaft using high-frequency heating, indirectly heats the end of the boot using the heat, deforms the inner peripheral surface thereof, and improves the FiHJI of the boot attachment part of the shaft, etc. Since it is partially inserted into the shaft, the restraining force on the shaft of the boot, etc. is large, and it has the effect that it is difficult to remove even when the constant velocity joint takes a large operating angle. Further, conventional tightening has the advantage of not requiring a band.
