자동차의 등속 조인트{CONSTANT VELOCITY RATIO UNIVERSAL JOINT FOR VEHICLE}Constant velocity joint of car {CONSTANT VELOCITY RATIO UNIVERSAL JOINT FOR VEHICLE}

본 발명은 자동차의 등속 조인트에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 인너 레이스의 외주면에 유로를 형성하여 그리스의 공급이 원활하게 이루어질 수 있도록 된 자동차의 등속 조인트에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a constant velocity joint of an automobile, and more particularly, to a constant velocity joint of an automobile in which a flow path is formed on an outer circumferential surface of an inner race so that grease can be smoothly supplied.

일반적으로 자동차 엔진의 동력은 변속기를 통하여 추진축에 의해 뒤차축으로 전달되며, 변속기는 엔진 및 클러치와 함께 프레임에 설치되어 있고, 뒤차축은 섀시 스프링을 사이에 두고 차체에 설치되어 있으므로 노면에서 전달되는 충격이나 적재 하중의 변화에 따라 상하 전후로 움직이게 된다.In general, the power of the automobile engine is transmitted to the rear axle by the propulsion shaft through the transmission, and the transmission is installed on the frame together with the engine and the clutch, and the rear axle is installed on the vehicle body with the chassis spring interposed therebetween. It moves up and down in response to impact or load change.

따라서, 엔진의 동력을 원활하게 뒤차축에 전달하기 위해 추진축의 양쪽 끝에 유니버셜 조인트와 추진축의 앞쪽 또는 중간 부분에 슬립 조인트를 설치하게 된다.Therefore, in order to smoothly transmit the power of the engine to the rear axle, the universal joint and the slip joint are installed at the front or middle portion of the propulsion shaft at both ends of the propulsion shaft.

그리고, 전륜 구동차나 4륜 구동차에서 종감속 장치에 연결된 구동 차축에 설치되어 바퀴에 동력 전달용으로 사용되는 등속 조인트(Constant Velocity Joint)는 항상 구동축과 피구동축의 접점을 축의 교차각의 2등분선상에 있게 하여 등속으로 동력 전달을 행하게 된다.In addition, constant velocity joints, which are installed on drive axles connected to longitudinal reduction gears in all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles, and are used for power transmission to the wheels, always have the contact points between the drive shaft and the driven shaft in the bisector of the intersection angle of the shaft. Power transmission at constant speed.

종래에 이와 같은 등속 조인트 중에서 특히 버필드형(Birfield Type)은 도 1에 도시한 바와 같이 도시하지 않는 구동축이 결합되는 인너 레이스(10)의 외측에는 볼(11) 및 볼 케이지(12)를 개재하여 하여 피구동축(13)이 결합되는데, 상기 피구동축(13)의 내측에는 상기 볼(11)이 위치되는 아우터 레이스(14)가 형성된 구조로 이루어진다.Conventionally, among such constant velocity joints, the Burfield type has a ball 11 and a ball cage 12 outside the inner race 10 to which a drive shaft (not shown) is coupled, as shown in FIG. 1. By doing so, the driven shaft 13 is coupled, and the inner side of the driven shaft 13 has an outer race 14 in which the ball 11 is located.

그러나, 이와 같은 종래의 자동차의 등속 조인트는 인너 레이스와 아우트 레이스가 접촉하면서 회전하게 되는데, 이때 80℃~120℃ 정도의 열이 발생됨으로써 그 외측에 피복되는 부트가 열화되어 수명을 단축시킨다고 하는 등의 문제점이 있었다.However, such a constant velocity joint of a conventional vehicle is rotated while the inner race and the outer race are in contact with each other. At this time, the heat generated at about 80 ° C. to 120 ° C. causes the boot coated on the outside to deteriorate and shorten the life. There was a problem.

따라서, 본 발명은 상술한 종래 기술의 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 발명된 것으로서, 본 발명의 목적은 인너 레이스의 내부로 그리스가 원활하게 공급되도록 하여 열의 발생을 최소화함과 동시에 열에 의한 부트 등의 열화를 방지할 수 있는 자동차의 등속 조인트를 제공하는데 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to smoothly supply grease into the inner race to minimize the generation of heat and at the same time to deteriorate the boot by heat. It is to provide a constant velocity joint of a vehicle which can be prevented.
