Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve transmission efficiency of torque by disposing retainers in front and in rear of an inner race and deepening a groove in a concave portion and a groove of an inner race. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of grooves 4b, 3c extending in the axial direction at spaces along the periphery are bored in the outer periphery of an inner race 4 and in the inner periphery of a concave portion 3a of an outer race 3. Thus, the concave spherical surface 3b of the outer race 3 and a convex spherical surface 4a of the inner race 4 are brought into sliding contact with each other to make the grooves 3c, 4b deep. Accordingly, an angle of the contact point (a) of the groove 3c with the ball 5 with a reference line passing the center of the ball 5 is increased about 65 deg.C to heighten transmission efficiency of torque.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned conventional constant velocity pole joint can tolerate relative displacement in the axial direction between the driving shaft 01 and the driven shaft 02, and can maintain constant velocity during high-speed rotation. However, when the 5-section moving shaft 01 and the driven shaft 02 are relatively displaced in the axial direction, the ball 0
5 slides in the guides 032 and 042 and hardly rolls, so it easily generates heat, and therefore, measures against this heat are required. In addition, the inner cylindrical surface 031 of the Arataru lace 03
Since the cage 06 is interposed between the inner race 04 and the outer spherical surface 041, the grooves 032 and 042 are shallow (as a result, the groove 032 has a contact point a with the ball 05).
The angle between the joint and the reference line passing through the center of the ball 05 is about 45 degrees, which causes a problem in that the torque transmission efficiency is low and it is difficult to downsize the joint.

(Effect of the invention) In the present invention, since the first and second retainers are placed before and after the inner race, the concave spherical surface formed on the inner periphery of the recess of the outer race and the outer periphery of the inner race The convex spherical surfaces can be brought into close and sliding contact with each other, so that the grooves formed on the inner periphery of the recess and the grooves formed on the outer periphery of the inner race become deeper. Therefore, the angle between the contact point of the ball and the groove drilled on the inner periphery of the recess with the reference line passing through the center of the ball is wide (this improves the torque transmission efficiency. Since the diameter of the ball to be fitted can be made large, the surface pressure acting on it can be increased, so the power transmission shaft can be increased.Also, since the diameter of the ball can be made large, the number of balls can be increased. This makes it easier to process grooves and other parts, and reduces manufacturing errors, making it possible to evenly distribute the load to each ball.Thus, the ball joint becomes smaller, lighter, and less expensive. can be manufactured.

The outer race is connected to the first power transmission shaft and rotates around its axis.The outer race is provided in a recess that opens in the axial direction and is connected to the second power transmission shaft and rotates around its axis. a convex spherical surface formed on the outer periphery of the inner race and having its center on the axis thereof; and a convex spherical surface formed on the inner periphery of the recess and having its center on the axis thereof; A plurality of grooves are formed in the outer periphery of the inner race and the inner periphery of the recess respectively to extend in the axial direction at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction so as to make sliding contact with the spherical surface. The drilled groove and the groove drilled on the inner periphery of the recess are made to face each other, and a ball is fitted into the pair of opposing grooves so as to be able to roll freely across them, and the ball is held between the grooves. A constant velocity ball joint characterized in that first and second retainers for positioning the inner race at a predetermined position within the groove are disposed in front and behind the inner race.
