Abstract

A large number of minute depressions (5) are formed in a rolling contact portion, and the depressions (5) generate dynamic pressure effect when lubrication oil is present in the depressions. Lubrication oil containing depressions (4) deeper than the depression (5), which generate the dynamic pressure effect, are formed in the dynamic pressure generation surfaces. By this, even at a low speed, a sufficient lubrication oil film can be formed by supply of the lubrication oil from the deep depressions (4) and by dynamic effect in the large number of shallow depressions (5). Direct contact of the rolling contact portion is prevented, and, even at a very low speed, surface damage of the portion can be prevented by boundary lubrication effect.

転がり部材及び転がり接触面の表面加工方法  Rolling member and surface processing method of rolling contact surface
技術分野  Technical field
[0001] この発明は、転がりを主体とする相対運動によって摩擦低減を実現する転がり軸受 などの機械要素であって、特に、頻繁に起動停止する稼動条件や揺動運動、あるい は低速かつ高荷重といった稼動条件に好適な転がり接触面を有する転がり部材及 び転がり接触面の表面加工方法に関するものである。  [0001] The present invention relates to a mechanical element such as a rolling bearing that realizes friction reduction by a relative motion mainly composed of rolling, and in particular, operating conditions and swinging motion that frequently start and stop, or low speed and high speed. The present invention relates to a rolling member having a rolling contact surface suitable for operating conditions such as a load, and a surface processing method of the rolling contact surface.
背景技術  Background art
[0002] 転がり軸受などの転がり接触部では、物体の相対運動によって物体間に介在する 流体の動圧効果によって流体潤滑状態とすることにより、物体の直接的な接触を防 止して摩擦、摩耗を低減することができる。  [0002] In a rolling contact portion such as a rolling bearing, a fluid lubrication state is established by a dynamic pressure effect of a fluid intervening between objects by relative movement of the object, thereby preventing direct contact of the object and friction and wear. Can be reduced.
[0003] ところ力 潤滑油が少量の場合や速度が低い場合には、動圧効果が小さく潤滑油 膜が形成されないため、固体接触を生じる危険がある。特に、近年は低トルク化のた め、低粘度の潤滑油が用いられ、また、外部から供給される潤滑油量も減少している ので、固体接触状態となる可能性がより一層高くなつている。 [0003] However, when the amount of lubricating oil is small or the speed is low, the dynamic pressure effect is small and the lubricating oil film is not formed, and there is a risk of causing solid contact. In particular, in recent years, low-viscosity lubricating oil has been used to reduce torque, and the amount of lubricating oil supplied from the outside has also decreased, so the possibility of a solid contact state becomes even higher. Yes.
[0004] 従来、接触部近傍の潤滑油量が不足して!/、ても、接触部の表面が潤滑油を保持し ていれば潤滑可能であるから、表面に微細な凹部を多数設けて、この凹部内に潤滑 油を保持しょうとする技術が特許文献 1に開示されている。この技術によって、低速時 の境界潤滑性能を向上させることが可能である。 [0004] Conventionally, the amount of lubricating oil in the vicinity of the contact portion is insufficient! / Even if the surface of the contact portion retains the lubricating oil, lubrication is possible. Therefore, a large number of fine concave portions are provided on the surface. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for retaining lubricating oil in the recess. This technology can improve the boundary lubrication performance at low speeds.

[0011] 一方、すべり軸受においては、摺動面に油膜厚さ程度の深さの溝を多数形成する ことによって潤滑性能を向上させる技術が一般的に用いられている。これは、摺動面 の深さが溝の存在によって変化するために流体力学的な動圧作用が発生することを 利用して!/、る。この効果を転がり軸受に適用した例が特許文献 8に開示されて!/、る。 この特許文献 8に開示の技術は、相対的に小さい荷重が加わる部位において、すべ りが生じる転動体を動圧作用による圧力で軌道輪に押し付け、すべりを防ごうとする ものである。ただし、この特許文献 8の技術においては、一般の動圧軸受と同様に、 接触部には十分な潤滑油が接触部の外部から供給されることが前提となっている。 特許文献 8 :特開 2006— 105361号公報  [0011] On the other hand, in a plain bearing, a technique is generally used that improves lubrication performance by forming a large number of grooves having a depth of about the oil film thickness on a sliding surface. This is based on the fact that the hydrodynamic pressure is generated because the depth of the sliding surface changes due to the presence of the groove! An example in which this effect is applied to a rolling bearing is disclosed in Patent Document 8! The technique disclosed in Patent Document 8 attempts to prevent slippage by pressing a rolling element that causes slipping on a raceway ring with pressure due to a dynamic pressure action at a site where a relatively small load is applied. However, the technique of Patent Document 8 is based on the premise that sufficient lubricating oil is supplied to the contact portion from the outside of the contact portion, as in a general dynamic pressure bearing.

This is intended to improve the boundary lubrication performance by discharging lubricating oil from the recesses due to thermal expansion. However, this technology is not intended to generate hydrodynamic dynamic pressure effects!

発明が解決しょうとする課題  Problems to be solved by the invention
[0013] ところで、流体力学的な動圧作用は、主に、流体の粘度、接触面の速度、接触面の くさび形状によって発生する。通常の転がり接触では、部材の接触部は必然的にくさ び形状になっているので、一定以上の粘度と速度を与えれば、油膜が形成され、接 触面は分離する。  Incidentally, the hydrodynamic dynamic pressure action is mainly generated by the viscosity of the fluid, the speed of the contact surface, and the wedge shape of the contact surface. In normal rolling contact, the contact portion of the member is inevitably wedge-shaped. Therefore, if a certain viscosity or speed is applied, an oil film is formed and the contact surface is separated.
[0014] しかしながら、低速での動圧作用を増加させようとするときは、流体の粘度の制御は 困難であるから、くさび形状を改善する必要がある。すなわち、マクロな形状によるく さび形状のほかに、ミクロなくさび形状を表面に設けることにより、低速での動圧作用 を増加させることが考えられる。  However, when trying to increase the dynamic pressure action at low speed, it is difficult to control the viscosity of the fluid, so the wedge shape needs to be improved. In other words, it is conceivable to increase the dynamic pressure action at low speed by providing a micro wedge shape on the surface in addition to the macro wedge shape.
[0015] 転がり軸受においては、特許文献 8の技術とは目的が異なるものの、動圧作用を発 生する浅い凹部を設けることで、低速での油膜形成性が向上すると考えられる。しか し、低速の場合、接触部への外部からの潤滑油の供給は期待できない。  [0015] Although the purpose of the rolling bearing is different from that of the technique of Patent Document 8, it is considered that the formation of a shallow concave portion that generates a dynamic pressure action improves oil film formation at low speed. However, when the speed is low, it is not possible to supply lubricating oil from the outside to the contact part.
[0016] また、特許文献 1の方法にお!/、て、浅い凹部に保持した潤滑油のみでは、流体潤 滑性能を向上させることはできない。  [0016] In addition, according to the method of Patent Document 1, it is not possible to improve the fluid lubrication performance only with the lubricating oil held in the shallow recess.
[0017] そこで、この発明は、頻繁に起動停止する稼動条件や揺動運動、あるいは低速か つ高荷重とレ、つた、接触部への外部からの潤滑油の供給が期待できな!/、稼動条件 においても、接触部を潤滑油で分離することが可能な転がり部材とその転力 ^接触面 の表面加工方法を提供しょうとするものである。  [0017] Therefore, the present invention cannot be expected to provide operating conditions and swinging motions that frequently start and stop, or low speed and high load, and supply of lubricating oil from the outside to the contact portion! /, Even under operating conditions, we intend to provide a rolling member that can separate the contact area with lubricating oil and its rolling force ^ surface treatment method.
課題を解決するための手段  Means for solving the problem
[0018] この発明の発明者らは、頻繁に起動停止する稼動条件や揺動運動、あるいは低速 かつ高荷重とレ、つた、接触部への外部からの潤滑油の供給が期待できな!/、稼動条 件においては、転がり接触部に、潤滑油の存在により動圧作用を発生させる微小な 浅い多数の凹部を形成し、この動圧発生面に、動圧作用を発生させる凹部よりも深 い潤滑油貯留凹部を設けることにより、深い潤滑油貯留凹部からの潤滑油の供給と 微小な多数の浅い凹部の動圧作用によって、低速の場合であっても十分な潤滑油 膜を形成することができ、接触部の直接接触を防止し、また、極低速でも境界潤滑作 用で表面損傷を防ぐことができるということを見出したのである。 [0018] The inventors of the present invention can not expect operating conditions and swinging motions that frequently start and stop, or low speed and high load, and supply of lubricating oil from the outside to the contact part! / Under the operating conditions, a number of small shallow recesses that generate a dynamic pressure action due to the presence of lubricating oil are formed in the rolling contact portion, and this dynamic pressure generation surface is deeper than the recess that generates the dynamic pressure action. By providing a large lubricating oil reservoir recess, a sufficient lubricating oil film can be formed even at low speeds due to the supply of lubricating oil from the deep lubricating oil reservoir recess and the dynamic pressure action of many small shallow recesses. Can prevent direct contact of the contact area, and can perform boundary lubrication even at extremely low speeds. It was found that surface damage can be prevented by use.
[0019] ところ力 特許文献;!〜 8などに記載されている従来の凹部形成方法では、凹部の 開口面の大きさや深さをきっちりと制御することができないと共に、凹部の加工部周 辺に不要な凸部ができたりする。  [0019] However, in the conventional method for forming a recess described in Patent Literatures !! to 8 and the like, the size and depth of the opening surface of the recess cannot be precisely controlled, and at the periphery of the processed portion of the recess. Unnecessary convex parts may be formed.
[0020] また、レーザー加工では、比較的浅!/、凹部は、短時間で、大きさ、深さ、位置を μ m以下のオーダーにより制御して加工できるものの、深い凹部を形成しょうとした場合 、一箇所の凹部を形成するための時間が長くなり、転がり部材の表面全体に深い凹 部を形成することは加工効率の点から現実的には困難である。  [0020] Further, in laser processing, relatively shallow! / And recesses can be processed in a short time by controlling the size, depth, and position on the order of μm or less, but an attempt was made to form deep recesses. In this case, it takes a long time to form one concave portion, and it is practically difficult to form a deep concave portion on the entire surface of the rolling member from the viewpoint of processing efficiency.
[0021] したがって、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部と、この動圧発生面を形成する 凹部よりも深い凹部を、同一の転力 ^接触面に精度良く設けることができない。  [0021] Therefore, it is not possible to provide a minute shallow concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface and a concave portion deeper than the concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface on the same rolling force ^ contact surface with high accuracy.
[0022] また、凹部を形成する方法として、マイクロブラストと呼ばれる方法もある。この方法 は、樹脂や金属で作製したフィルムを加工対象表面にマスキングし、微細砥粒を噴 射して加工するものである。この方法では、凹部の形状を精度良く制御することは可 能であるが、砥粒の径に対して凹部の直径が十分に大きくなければならない。また、 この方法では、マスクがある程度の厚みを持っため、マスクの厚さよりも小さいピッチ で凹部を形成しょうとすると、マスクのアスペクト比が悪化する。このため、マイクロブラ スト加工によって、直径 10 111、ピッチ 30 mといったオーダーの微小な凹部を作 製することは困難である。  [0022] As a method of forming the recess, there is also a method called microblast. In this method, a film made of resin or metal is masked on the surface to be processed, and fine abrasive grains are sprayed to process. In this method, it is possible to accurately control the shape of the recess, but the diameter of the recess must be sufficiently larger than the diameter of the abrasive grains. In this method, since the mask has a certain thickness, if the concave portions are formed at a pitch smaller than the thickness of the mask, the aspect ratio of the mask deteriorates. For this reason, it is difficult to produce minute recesses on the order of diameter 10111 and pitch 30 m by microblasting.
[0023] この発明の発明者らは、転がり接触面に、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部 と、この動圧発生面を形成する凹部よりも深い凹部を効率的に精度よく形成する表面 加工方法を見出したのである。  [0023] The inventors of the present invention efficiently and accurately form a small shallow recess that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface and a deeper recess than the recess that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface on the rolling contact surface. They found a surface processing method.
[0024] その方法の一つは、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部を、レーザー加工又は エッチング加工により形成し、この動圧発生面を形成する凹部よりも深い凹部を、マイ クロブラスト加工により形成することにより、転がり接触面に、二つの異なる深さの凹部 を効率的に精度良く配置するという方法である。  [0024] One of the methods is to form a minute shallow recess that forms a dynamic pressure generating surface by laser processing or etching, and to form a recess that is deeper than the recess that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface. This is a method of efficiently and accurately disposing recesses of two different depths on the rolling contact surface by forming by machining.
[0025] 即ち、二つの異なる深さの凹部の内、浅い凹部をレーザー加工又はエッチングカロ ェにより、深い凹部をマイクロブラスト加工により転がり部材の転がり接触面に形成す るようにしたのであり、一方の凹部が形成された転がり部材の転がり接触面に、他方 の凹部を追加形成するようにしたものである。 [0025] That is, of the two different depths of recesses, shallow recesses are formed on the rolling contact surface of the rolling member by laser processing or etching calorie, and deep recesses are formed by microblasting. On the rolling contact surface of the rolling member on which the concave portion is formed, The recesses are additionally formed.
[0026] この方法では、位置決め機構を備えたレーザー加工装置により、大きさ、深さ、位 置を m以下のオーダーで精度よく凹部を形成することができ、動圧発生面を形成 する微小な浅い凹部であれば短時間での加工が可能である。  [0026] With this method, a laser processing apparatus equipped with a positioning mechanism can accurately form a recess with a size, depth, and position on the order of m or less, and a minute pressure forming a dynamic pressure generating surface. If it is a shallow concave part, processing in a short time is possible.
[0027] エッチング加工は、転がり接触面の表面に、動圧発生面を形成する浅い凹部の開 口パターンが露出し、開口パターン以外の部分がマスキングされたレジストマスクを 形成し、次いで、レジストマスクから露出する転がり接触面の表面を、動圧発生面を 形成する浅い凹部の深さまでエッチングした後、レジストマスクを除去して、転がり接 触面の表面に動圧発生面を形成する浅い凹部を形成する方法である。  [0027] In the etching process, a resist mask is formed in which the opening pattern of the shallow concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface is exposed on the surface of the rolling contact surface, and a portion other than the opening pattern is masked, and then the resist mask After etching the surface of the rolling contact surface exposed from the surface to the depth of the shallow concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface, the resist mask is removed to form the shallow concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface on the surface of the rolling contact surface. It is a method of forming.
[0028] マイクロブラスト加工による潤滑油貯留凹部の形成方法は、まず、転がり接触面の 表面を、潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターンが露出し、開口パターン以外の部分がマス キングされたマイクロブラスト用マスクによって覆い、マイクロブラスト用マスクから露出 する転がり接触面の表面に微細砥粒を噴射するマイクロブラスト加工を行った後、マ イクロブラスト用マスクを除去する方法である。  [0028] A method for forming a lubricating oil reservoir recess by microblasting is as follows. First, the surface of the rolling contact surface is exposed with the opening pattern of the lubricant storing recess, and the mask other than the opening pattern is masked. The microblast mask is removed after microblasting is performed by spraying fine abrasive grains onto the surface of the rolling contact surface exposed from the microblast mask.
[0029] 上記動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部の加工工程と潤滑油貯留凹部の加工工程と をどちらを先に行うかは自由である力 S、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部を先に形成 すると、潤滑油貯留凹部の加工工程で、マイクロブラスト用マスクをレジスト液によつ て形成する場合、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部にマイクロブラスト用マスクを形成 するレジスト液が浸入するため、マイクロブラスト用マスクが除去し難くなる。このため 、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部を先に形成しておく方が、マイクロブラスト用マスク の除去が容易であるので、まず、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部を先に形成する方 が好ましい。  [0029] The process of forming the shallow concave portion that generates the dynamic pressure action and the process of processing the lubricating oil storage concave portion are performed first. The force S is free. The shallow concave portion that generates the dynamic pressure action is formed first. Then, when forming a microblast mask with a resist solution in the process of processing the lubricating oil reservoir recess, the resist solution that forms the microblast mask penetrates into a shallow recess that generates a dynamic pressure action. The blast mask is difficult to remove. For this reason, it is easier to remove the microblast mask by first forming the shallow concave portion that generates the dynamic pressure action. Therefore, first, the shallow concave portion that generates the dynamic pressure action is formed first. preferable.
[0030] 上記動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部の加工工程と潤滑油貯留凹部の加工工程を 繰り返すと、 3種類以上の凹部を形成することができる。  [0030] By repeating the above-described shallow recess processing step for generating the dynamic pressure action and the lubricating oil storage recess processing step, three or more types of recesses can be formed.
[0031] 上記動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部と潤滑油貯留凹部の形状としては、独立した 穴形状、溝形状のレ、ずれでも形成することが可能である。 [0031] As the shapes of the shallow concave portion and the lubricating oil storage concave portion that generate the dynamic pressure action, it is possible to form independent hole shapes, groove shapes, or misalignments.
[0032] 次の方法によっても、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部と、この動圧発生面を 形成する凹部よりも深い凹部を効率的に精度よく形成することが可能である。 [0033] その方法は、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部をレーザー加工により形成し 、この動圧発生面を形成する凹部よりも深い凹部を、エッチング加工によって形成す ることにより、転がり接触面に、二つの異なる深さの凹部を精度良く効率的に配置す るという方法である。 [0032] Also by the following method, it is possible to efficiently and accurately form a small shallow recess that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface and a recess that is deeper than the recess that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface. [0033] According to the method, a minute shallow recess that forms a dynamic pressure generating surface is formed by laser processing, and a recess deeper than the recess that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface is formed by etching. In this method, two concave portions having different depths are arranged on the contact surface with high accuracy and efficiency.
[0034] 即ち、二つの異なる深さの凹部の内、浅い凹部をレーザー加工により、深い凹部を エッチング加工により転がり部材の転がり接触面に形成するようにしたのであり、一方 の凹部が形成された転がり部材の転がり接触面に、他方の凹部を追加形成するよう にしたものである。  That is, of the two different depths of recesses, the shallow recesses are formed on the rolling contact surface of the rolling member by laser processing, and the deep recesses are formed by etching, and one of the recesses is formed. The other concave portion is additionally formed on the rolling contact surface of the rolling member.
[0035] 位置決め機構を備えたレーザー加工装置により、大きさ、深さ、位置を m以下の オーダーで精度よく凹部を形成することができ、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い 凹部であれば短時間での加工が可能である。  [0035] With a laser processing apparatus equipped with a positioning mechanism, a concave portion can be formed with accuracy in the order of size, depth, and position of m or less, and if it is a small shallow concave portion that forms a dynamic pressure generating surface, Processing in a short time is possible.
[0036] 第 1の表面加工方法でも記載したように、エッチング加工は、転がり接触面の表面 に、潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターンが露出し、開口パターン以外の部分がマスキン グされたレジストマスクを形成し、次いで、レジストマスクから露出する転がり接触面の 表面を、潤滑油貯留凹部の深さまでエッチングした後、レジストマスクを除去して、転 力り接触面の表面に潤滑油貯留凹部を形成する方法である。  [0036] As described in the first surface processing method, the etching process is performed using a resist mask in which the opening pattern of the lubricating oil reservoir recess is exposed on the surface of the rolling contact surface, and the portions other than the opening pattern are masked. Then, after etching the surface of the rolling contact surface exposed from the resist mask to the depth of the lubricating oil storage recess, the resist mask is removed to form the lubricating oil storage recess on the surface of the rolling contact surface. Is the method.
[0037] 上記エッチング加工におけるレジストマスクの形成方法としては、転がり接触面の表 面に、フォトレジストを塗布してフォトレジスト層を形成し、このフォトレジスト層の表面 に、潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターンを印刷したカバーフィルムを被せて露光し、そ の後、フォトレジスト層の未硬化部分を除去して潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターンの 部分が露出し、開口パターン以外の部分をマスキングされた状態に残すフォトレジス ト方法を採用することができる。  [0037] As a method for forming a resist mask in the above etching process, a photoresist layer is formed by applying a photoresist on the surface of the rolling contact surface, and an opening for a lubricating oil reservoir recess is formed on the surface of the photoresist layer. Covered with a pattern printed cover film, exposed, then removed uncured portion of the photoresist layer to expose the open pattern portion of the lubricant reservoir recess, and masked portions other than the open pattern It is possible to adopt a photo-resisting method that remains in
[0038] 上記フォトレジストによる方法以外に、スクリーン印刷の方法によりレジストインクが、 潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターン以外の部分を覆うように印刷する方法を用いても良 い。  [0038] In addition to the above-described method using a photoresist, a method may be used in which a resist ink is printed by a screen printing method so as to cover a portion other than the opening pattern of the lubricant reservoir recess.
[0039] また、第 1の表面加工方法でも記載したように、上記レーザー加工とエッチング加工 で、浅い方の凹部と、深い方の潤滑油貯留凹部のどちらを先に形成するかは自由で ある力 浅い方の凹部を先にレーザー加工により形成すると、エッチング工程で浅い 凹部にレジストマスクを形成するレジスト液が浸入するため、レジストマスクが除去し 難くなる。このため、エッチング加工において、深い方の潤滑油貯留凹部を形成する 方力 レジストマスクの除去が容易であるので、まず、エッチング加工において深い方 の潤滑油貯留凹部を形成する方が好ましレ、。 [0039] Further, as described in the first surface processing method, it is free to form the shallower concave portion or the deeper lubricating oil reservoir concave portion first in the laser processing and the etching processing. If the shallower recess is first formed by laser processing, it will be shallower in the etching process. Since the resist solution for forming the resist mask enters the recess, the resist mask becomes difficult to remove. For this reason, it is easier to remove the resist mask in the etching process because the resist mask can be easily removed. First, it is preferable to form the deeper lubricating oil reservoir recess in the etching process. .
[0040] この第 2の表面加工方法においても、上記レーザー加工とエッチング加工を繰り返 すと、 3種類以上の凹部を形成することができる。 [0040] Also in this second surface processing method, when the laser processing and the etching processing are repeated, three or more types of concave portions can be formed.
[0041] また、上記動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部と潤滑油貯留凹部の形状としては、独 立した穴形状、溝形状の!/、ずれでも形成することが可能である。 [0041] Further, as the shapes of the shallow concave portion and the lubricating oil storage concave portion that generate the dynamic pressure action, it is possible to form an independent hole shape, groove shape!
[0042] 次の第 3の表面加工方法によっても、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部と、こ の動圧発生面を形成する凹部よりも深い凹部を効率的に精度よく形成することが可 能である。 [0042] Also by the following third surface processing method, it is possible to efficiently and accurately form a small shallow recess that forms a dynamic pressure generating surface and a recess that is deeper than the recess that forms this dynamic pressure generating surface. Is possible.
[0043] この第 3の表面加工方法は、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部と、この動圧作用を発 生させる浅い凹部よりも深い凹部を、それぞれエッチングによって形成することにより 、転がり接触面に、二つの異なる深さの凹部を精度良く配置するという方法である。  [0043] In this third surface processing method, a shallow concave portion that generates a dynamic pressure effect and a concave portion that is deeper than the shallow concave portion that generates the dynamic pressure effect are formed on the rolling contact surface by etching. This is a method of accurately arranging recesses having two different depths.
[0044] 即ち、二つの異なる深さの凹部の一方を、第 1のエッチング工程により、転がり部材 の転力 Sり接触面に形成し、その後、一方の凹部が形成された転がり部材の転がり接 触面に、他方の凹部を、第 2のエッチング工程で追加形成するようにしたものである。  That is, one of two recesses having different depths is formed on the rolling contact surface of the rolling member by the first etching step, and then, the rolling contact of the rolling member having one recess is formed. The other concave portion is additionally formed on the touch surface in the second etching step.
[0045] 第 1のエッチング工程は、転がり接触面の表面に、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部 又は潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターンが露出し、開口パターン以外の部分がマスキン グされたレジストマスクを形成し、次いで、レジストマスクから露出する転がり接触面の 表面を、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部の深さまでエッチング した後、レジストマスクを除去して、転がり接触面の表面に動圧作用を発生させる浅 V、凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部を形成する工程である。  [0045] In the first etching step, a resist mask in which a shallow concave portion or a lubricant storing concave portion that generates a dynamic pressure action is exposed on the surface of the rolling contact surface, and a portion other than the opening pattern is masked is used. Then, after etching the surface of the rolling contact surface exposed from the resist mask to the depth of the shallow concave portion or the lubricating oil storage concave portion that generates the dynamic pressure action, the resist mask is removed to form the surface of the rolling contact surface. This is a process of forming shallow V, concave portions or lubricating oil reservoir concave portions that generate a dynamic pressure action.
[0046] 第 2のエッチング工程は、第 1のエッチング工程に引き続いて行われる工程であり、 第 1のエッチング工程によって動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部 が形成されている転がり接触面の表面に、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑 油貯留凹部の開口パターンが露出し、開口パターン以外の部分がマスキングされた レジストマスクを形成し、次いで、レジストマスクから露出する転がり接触面の表面を、 動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部の深さまでエッチングした後、 レジストマスクを除去して、転がり接触面の表面に、二つ目の動圧作用を発生させる 浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部を追加形成する工程である。 [0046] The second etching step is a step performed subsequent to the first etching step, and is a rolling contact in which a shallow concave portion or a lubricating oil storage concave portion that generates a dynamic pressure action is formed by the first etching step. On the surface of the surface, a shallow concavity that generates a dynamic pressure action or an opening pattern of a lubricating oil reservoir concavity is exposed, and a resist mask is formed in which portions other than the opening pattern are masked, and then the rolling contact surface exposed from the resist mask The surface of After etching to the depth of the shallow concavity or lubricating oil reservoir that generates dynamic pressure, the resist mask is removed, and the shallow concavity or lubricating oil reservoir that generates the second dynamic pressure action on the surface of the rolling contact surface This is a step of additionally forming a recess.
[0047] 上記第 1のエッチング工程と第 2のエッチング工程におけるレジストマスクの形成方 法としては、転がり接触面の表面に、フォトレジストを塗布してフォトレジスト層を形成 し、このフォトレジスト層の表面に、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留 凹部の開口パターンを印刷したカバーフィルムを被せて露光し、その後、フォトレジス ト層の未硬化部分を除去して動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部 の開口パターンの部分が露出し、開口パターン以外の部分をマスキングされた状態 に残すフォトレジスト方法を採用することができる。  [0047] As a method of forming a resist mask in the first etching step and the second etching step, a photoresist layer is formed by applying a photoresist to the surface of the rolling contact surface. The surface is exposed with a cover film printed with a shallow recess that generates a dynamic pressure effect or an opening pattern of a lubricating oil storage recess, and then the uncured portion of the photoresist layer is removed to generate a dynamic pressure effect. It is possible to employ a photoresist method in which a portion of the opening pattern of the shallow recess or the lubricating oil storage recess is exposed and a portion other than the opening pattern is left in a masked state.
[0048] 上記第 1のエッチング工程と第 2のエッチング工程におけるレジストマスクの形成方 法としては、上記フォトレジストによる方法以外に、スクリーン印刷の方法によりレジス トインクが、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部又は潤滑油貯留凹部の開口パターン以 外の部分を覆うように印刷する方法を用いても良レ、。  [0048] As a method for forming the resist mask in the first etching step and the second etching step, in addition to the method using the photoresist, a shallow concave portion in which the resist ink generates a dynamic pressure action by a screen printing method is used. Alternatively, a method of printing so as to cover a portion other than the opening pattern of the lubricating oil reservoir recess may be used.
[0049] 上記第 1のエッチング工程と第 2のエッチング工程で、浅い方の凹部と、深い方の 潤滑油貯留凹部のどちらを先に形成するかは自由であるが、深い方の潤滑油貯留 凹部を先に第 1のエッチング工程で形成すると、第 1のエッチング工程で深い凹部に レジストマスクを形成するレジスト液が浸入するため、レジストマスクが除去し難くなる 。このため、第 1のエッチング工程において、浅い方の凹部を形成する方が、レジスト マスクの除去が容易であるので、まず、第 1のエッチング工程において浅い方の動圧 発生凹部を形成する方が好まし!/、。  [0049] In the first etching step and the second etching step, it is free to form the shallower concave portion or the deeper lubricating oil reservoir concave portion first, but the deeper lubricating oil reservoir is formed. If the concave portion is formed in the first etching step first, the resist mask is difficult to remove because the resist solution for forming the resist mask enters the deep concave portion in the first etching step. For this reason, in the first etching step, it is easier to remove the resist mask when the shallower concave portion is formed. Therefore, first, the shallower dynamic pressure generating concave portion is formed in the first etching step. I like it!
[0050] 上記第 2のエッチング工程の後、さらに第 2のエッチング工程を繰り返すと、 3種類 以上の凹部を形成することができる。  [0050] After the second etching step, when the second etching step is further repeated, three or more types of recesses can be formed.
[0051] 上記動圧発生凹部と潤滑油貯留凹部の形状としては、独立した穴形状、溝形状の V、ずれでも形成することが可能である。  [0051] As the shapes of the dynamic pressure generating recess and the lubricating oil storage recess, independent hole shapes, groove shapes V, and deviations can be formed.
[0052] 以上のように、この発明の表面加工方法によれば、転がり接触面に、動圧発生面を 形成する微小な浅い凹部と、この動圧発生面を形成する凹部よりも深い凹部を精度 よく且つ効率的に形成することができるので、深い潤滑油貯留凹部からの潤滑油の 供給と浅い微小な多数の動圧作用を発生させる凹部によって、低速の場合であって も十分な潤滑油膜が形成され、極低速でも境界潤滑作用で表面損傷が防止された、 優れた転がり部材を製造することができる。 [0052] As described above, according to the surface processing method of the present invention, the rolling contact surface is provided with a small shallow concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface and a concave portion that is deeper than the concave portion that forms the dynamic pressure generating surface. Since it can be formed accurately and efficiently, the lubricating oil from the deep lubricating oil reservoir recess An excellent rolling member that has sufficient lubrication oil film formed even at low speeds due to the supply and the shallow small number of dynamic pressure acting concave parts, and surface damage was prevented by boundary lubrication even at extremely low speeds. Can be manufactured.
[0053] この発明に係る転がり部材は、転がり接触部に、潤滑油の存在により動圧作用を発 生させる微小な多数の凹部を有する動圧発生面を形成し、この動圧発生面に、上記 凹部よりも深!/、潤滑油貯留凹部を点在させて!/、る。  In the rolling member according to the present invention, a dynamic pressure generating surface having a large number of minute concave portions that generate a dynamic pressure action due to the presence of lubricating oil is formed in the rolling contact portion, and the dynamic pressure generating surface is Deeper than the recesses! /, Interspersed with lubricating oil reservoir recesses! /.
[0054] この発明に係る転がり部材は、例えば、速度が小さぐ外部から接触部に流入する 潤滑油量が少量であるという条件下、すなわち、動圧作用を発生させる微小な多数 の動圧凹部に十分な潤滑油がないような条件下においても、相対運動の開始時に は、深い潤滑油貯留凹部内に貯留した潤滑油力、熱膨張によって接触表面に吐出 されるため、微小な多数の凹部に潤滑油が供給されて動圧作用による油膜が形成さ れやすい。したがって、十分な油膜が形成されない速度であっても流体潤滑状態を 維持することができ、接触部を潤滑油で分離できる。  [0054] The rolling member according to the present invention has, for example, a large number of minute dynamic pressure depressions that generate a dynamic pressure action under the condition that the amount of lubricating oil flowing into the contact portion from the outside with a low speed is small. Even when there is not enough lubricating oil, at the start of relative motion, the lubricant is discharged into the contact surface due to the lubricating oil force and thermal expansion stored in the deep lubricating oil reservoir recess. Lubricating oil is supplied to the oil and an oil film is easily formed by the dynamic pressure action. Therefore, the fluid lubrication state can be maintained even at a speed at which a sufficient oil film is not formed, and the contact portion can be separated by the lubricating oil.
[0055] また、油膜形成が本質的に困難な極低速の場合においては、流体潤滑ほどの良 好な潤滑性は期待できな!/、が、摩擦熱による熱膨張で主に潤滑油貯留凹部から表 面に吐出された油による境界潤滑性により、固体接触を防ぎ表面損傷を防止するこ と力 Sできる。  [0055] In addition, in the case of extremely low speed where oil film formation is essentially difficult, good lubricity as good as fluid lubrication cannot be expected! Due to the boundary lubricity due to the oil discharged from the surface, the solid contact can be prevented and the surface damage can be prevented.
[0056] 上記動圧作用を発生させる微小な多数の凹部は、穴形状であっても溝形状でもよ い。  [0056] The large number of minute recesses that generate the dynamic pressure action may be hole-shaped or groove-shaped.
[0057] 動圧発生面に形成する深い潤滑油貯留凹部は、転力^方向に千鳥状に配置する ことが好ましい。  [0057] The deep lubricating oil reservoir recesses formed on the dynamic pressure generating surface are preferably arranged in a staggered manner in the rolling force direction.
[0058] 上記動圧作用を発生させる微小な凹部の底面は、転がり方向に向かって浅くなるよ うに傾斜するように形成することが好ましい。  [0058] It is preferable that the bottom surface of the minute recess that generates the dynamic pressure action is formed so as to be inclined so as to become shallower in the rolling direction.
[0059] 上記動圧発生面の少なくとも丘部表面に、固体潤滑被膜を設けるようにすると、表 面の潤滑油の油膜の一部が、破断して転がり部材相互が接触しても、転がり部材の 接触面の固体潤滑被膜により、転がり部材の表面の損傷を防止できるので、潤滑油 膜がない破断した状態でも、運転初期の摩耗を低減することができる。  [0059] When a solid lubricating film is provided on at least the surface of the hill portion of the dynamic pressure generating surface, even if a part of the oil film of the lubricating oil on the surface breaks and the rolling members come into contact with each other, the rolling member Since the surface of the rolling member can be prevented from being damaged by the solid lubricating film on the contact surface, the wear at the initial stage of operation can be reduced even in a broken state without the lubricating oil film.
[0060] 上記固体潤滑被膜としては、 DLC (ダイヤモンドライクカーボン「潤滑性硬質被膜」 )、軟質金属メツキ、 MoS被膜などがある。 [0060] As the above-mentioned solid lubricating coating, DLC (Diamond-like carbon "lubricating hard coating" ), Soft metal plating, and MoS coating.

[0061] また、上記動圧発生面の少なくとも丘部表面に、潤滑剤保持性被膜としてリン酸塩 被膜処理又は黒染め処理の被膜を形成すると、深!、潤滑油貯留凹部からの潤滑油 の供給と潤滑油のぬれ性のょレ、潤滑剤保持性被膜による潤滑油の保持、並びに浅 V、微小な多数の凹部による動圧作用によって、低速の場合であっても十分な潤滑油 膜を形成することができ、接触部の直接接触を防止することができる。また、極低速 でも境界潤滑作用で表面損傷を防ぐことができる。  [0061] Further, when a phosphate coating treatment or a blackening treatment coating is formed as a lubricant retaining coating on at least the hill surface of the dynamic pressure generating surface, the depth of the lubricating oil from the lubricating oil reservoir recess is increased. Due to the wettability of the supply and lubricating oil, the retention of the lubricating oil by the lubricant-retaining coating, and the dynamic pressure action by the shallow V and many small recesses, a sufficient lubricating oil film can be obtained even at low speeds. It can be formed and direct contact of the contact portion can be prevented. Moreover, surface damage can be prevented by boundary lubrication even at extremely low speeds.
[0062] 上記リン酸塩処理並び黒染め処理は、表面に微細孔を生成させ、液体のぬれ性を 向上させる処理であり、この処理によって、潤滑剤の保持性が良くなり、運転初期の 転がり部材相互のなじみがよぐ摩耗を低減することができる。  [0062] The phosphate treatment and the black dyeing treatment are treatments that generate micropores on the surface and improve the wettability of the liquid. This treatment improves the retention of the lubricant and causes rolling in the initial stage of operation. It is possible to reduce wear caused by familiarity between members.
[0063] 上記動圧作用を発生させる微小な凹部並びに潤滑油貯留凹部を形成する部材は 、窒化珪素などのセラミックで形成することもできる。  [0063] The minute recesses for generating the dynamic pressure action and the members for forming the lubricating oil storage recesses can also be formed of ceramic such as silicon nitride.

[0066] この発明を円筒ころ軸受 1のころ 2に適用した例を示す。 An example in which the present invention is applied to the roller 2 of the cylindrical roller bearing 1 is shown.
まず、図 1の例は、ころ 2の転動面 3に、図 2又は図 3に拡大して示すように、潤滑油 の存在により動圧作用を発生させる微小な多数の穴形状の凹部 5を有する動圧発生 面を形成し、この動圧発生面に、上記凹部 5よりも深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4を点在させ ている。図 2又は図 3では、浅い凹部 5を白丸で、潤滑油貯留凹部 4を黒丸で表現し ている。  First, in the example of FIG. 1, as shown in an enlarged view of FIG. 2 or FIG. 3 on the rolling surface 3 of the roller 2, the concave portions 5 having a small number of holes that generate a dynamic pressure action due to the presence of lubricating oil. The dynamic pressure generating surface having the above is formed, and the lubricating oil storing concave portions 4 deeper than the concave portion 5 are scattered on the dynamic pressure generating surface. In FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the shallow concave portion 5 is represented by a white circle, and the lubricating oil storage concave portion 4 is represented by a black circle.
[0067] この図 2又は図 3に示す例では、上記浅い凹部 5を、ころ 2の転動面 3の全面に、均 一に配置している。また、図 2又は図 3では、凹部 5の一部を、潤滑油貯留凹部 4に置 き換えたような配置とした力 潤滑油貯留凹部 4並びに浅い凹部 5の互!/、の位置関係 は任; kである。  In the example shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the shallow recesses 5 are uniformly arranged on the entire rolling surface 3 of the roller 2. Further, in FIG. 2 or FIG. 3, the positional relationship between the force lubricating oil storage recess 4 and the shallow recess 5 is mutually arranged such that a part of the recess 5 is replaced with the lubricating oil storage recess 4. K;
[0068] 例えば、深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4は、図 2に示すように、ころ 2の転がりすベり方向(図 2の矢印の方向)に、所定間隔で平行に並ぶように点在させてもよいし、図 3に示すよ うに、ころ 2の転がりすベり方向(図 3の矢印の方向)に、所定間隔で千鳥状に点在さ せてもよい。深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4から吐出された潤滑油 6は、ころの転がり運動に 伴って、進行方向の後方に移動するので、図 2の例のように、潤滑油貯留凹部 4を所 定間隔で平行に並ぶように配置すると、潤滑油の表面への分布が、図 2に一点鎖線 で示すように、平行な筋状になる。また、図 3の例のように潤滑油貯留凹部 4を千鳥状 に配置すると、図 2の例の場合よりも、図 3に一点鎖線で示すように、潤滑油 6の表面 への筋状の分布が概ね倍増する。  [0068] For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the deep lubricating oil storage recesses 4 are scattered so as to be arranged in parallel at predetermined intervals in the rolling and sliding direction of the roller 2 (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2). Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the rollers 2 may be scattered in a staggered manner at predetermined intervals in the rolling and sliding direction of the roller 2 (the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3). The lubricating oil 6 discharged from the deep lubricating oil storage recess 4 moves backward in the traveling direction with the rolling motion of the roller, so that the lubricating oil storage recess 4 is moved at predetermined intervals as shown in the example of FIG. When arranged in parallel, the distribution of the lubricating oil on the surface becomes parallel streaks as shown by the dashed line in FIG. In addition, when the lubricating oil storage recesses 4 are arranged in a staggered manner as in the example of FIG. 3, the streaks to the surface of the lubricating oil 6 are formed as shown by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 3 rather than in the example of FIG. Distribution almost doubles.
[0069] また、図 2又は図 3の例では、潤滑油貯留凹部 4並びに浅い凹部 5の開口面の形状 はすべて円形とした力 S、楕円や多角形などであってもよい。 [0069] In the example of Fig. 2 or Fig. 3, the shapes of the opening surfaces of the lubricating oil reservoir recess 4 and the shallow recess 5 are shown. Can be all circular forces S, ellipses, polygons, etc.
[0070] 次に、図 4に示す例は、ころ 2の転動面 3を、図 5又は図 6に拡大して示すように、潤 滑油の存在により動圧作用を発生させる微小な凹部 5を溝形状によって形成し、この 溝形状の凹部 5を形成した動圧発生面に、上記凹部 5の深さよりも深い潤滑油貯留 凹部 4を点在させた例である。図 5又は図 6では、潤滑油貯留凹部 4を黒丸で表現し ている。 Next, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the rolling surface 3 of the roller 2 is enlarged as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, and a minute recess that generates a dynamic pressure action due to the presence of lubricating oil. In this example, the groove 5 is formed in a groove shape, and the lubricating oil reservoir recesses 4 deeper than the depth of the recess 5 are scattered on the dynamic pressure generating surface on which the recess 5 having the groove shape is formed. In FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the lubricating oil reservoir recess 4 is represented by a black circle.
[0071] この図 5又は図 6の例では、上記浅い溝形状の凹部 5を、ころ 2の転動面 3の全面に 、潤滑油の流れ方向に直行するように均等に配置している。また、図 5又は図 6では、 溝形状の凹部 5と溝形状の凹部の間に、潤滑油貯留凹部 4を配置したが、溝形状の 凹部 5と潤滑油貯留凹部 4の互いの位置関係は任意である。  In the example of FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the shallow groove-shaped recesses 5 are evenly arranged on the entire rolling surface 3 of the roller 2 so as to go straight in the lubricating oil flow direction. In FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the lubricating oil storage recess 4 is disposed between the groove-shaped recess 5 and the groove-shaped recess. However, the positional relationship between the groove-shaped recess 5 and the lubricant storage recess 4 is as follows. Is optional.
[0072] 次に、浅い凹部 5の断面形状、即ち、凹部 5の底面は、表面に平行である必要はな ぐ傾斜していてもよい。ただし、流体の流れる方向に深くなる方向に傾斜している場 合には動圧作用が減少するため、図 7及び図 8に示すように、少なくとも流体の流れ る方向(図 7及び図 8の矢印の方向)に浅くなるように傾斜していることが望ましい。特 に、図 8のように、穴の片側の肩がないような形状であれば、起動停止時の摩耗を低 減すること力 Sでさる。  [0072] Next, the cross-sectional shape of the shallow concave portion 5, that is, the bottom surface of the concave portion 5 may be inclined without having to be parallel to the surface. However, when it is inclined deeper in the direction of fluid flow, the dynamic pressure action decreases, so at least the direction of fluid flow (see FIGS. 7 and 8), as shown in FIGS. It is desirable to incline so as to become shallow in the direction of the arrow). In particular, as shown in Fig. 8, if the shape does not have a shoulder on one side of the hole, force S can be used to reduce wear during starting and stopping.
[0073] 次に、動圧作用を発生させる浅い凹部 5よりも深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4は、潤滑油を 貯留することを目的としているので、その体積は大きいほどよい。し力もながら、その 開口部では潤滑油に荷重支持に寄与するような動圧は発生しないので、開口部面 積は小さい方が望ましい。したがって、転がり軸受に代表される通常の転力 Sり接触機 械要素を想定して、潤滑油貯留凹部 4は、小径であって、深穴とする。現在の量産可 能な加工技術水準を勘案すれば、直径20〜30 111、深さ 100 m程度といった大 きさとなる。  [0073] Next, the lubricating oil storage recess 4 that is deeper than the shallow recess 5 that generates the dynamic pressure action is intended to store the lubricating oil, so that the larger the volume, the better. However, since the dynamic pressure that contributes to supporting the load is not generated in the lubricant at the opening, it is desirable that the area of the opening is small. Therefore, assuming a normal rolling force contact mechanism element represented by a rolling bearing, the lubricating oil reservoir recess 4 has a small diameter and a deep hole. Considering the current level of processing technology that can be mass-produced, the diameter will be 20 to 30 111 and the depth will be about 100 m.
[0074] 一方、動圧作用を発生させる凹部 5は、微小な接触領域での動圧の発生を目的と しているので、接触部の面積に対して比較的小さぐ接触面内に多数あることが望ま しい。したがって、直径は 20〜30 111以下とする。潤滑油が十分に存在する状態で 使用される通常の動圧軸受であれば、動圧作用を効果的に発生させる溝の深さは、 油膜厚さ程度の深さである力 この発明においては、十分な油膜厚さとなっていない 運転条件での動圧効果を期待しており、一般的な転がり軸受の場合、十分な油膜が 発生した状態であっても油膜厚さは高々数 であるから、この浅い凹部 5の深さは 0. 1〜1 111程度とする。凹部 5の底面は必ずしも平坦である必要はないが、肩部は できる限りだれて!/、な!/、ほう力 Sよ!/、。 [0074] On the other hand, since the concave portion 5 for generating the dynamic pressure action is intended to generate dynamic pressure in a minute contact area, there are a large number in the contact surface that is relatively small with respect to the area of the contact portion. It is desirable. Therefore, the diameter should be 20-30111 or less. In the case of a normal dynamic pressure bearing that is used in a state where there is sufficient lubricating oil, the depth of the groove that effectively generates the dynamic pressure action is a force that is as deep as the oil film thickness. Not enough oil film thickness The effect of dynamic pressure under operating conditions is expected, and in the case of a general rolling bearing, even if a sufficient oil film is generated, the oil film thickness is at most several, so the depth of this shallow recess 5 is 0.1 to about 111. The bottom of the recess 5 does not necessarily have to be flat, but the shoulder is as far as possible! /, Na! /, Force S! / ,.
[0075] 転がり軸受は、運転開始や揺動運動の死点では回転速度は 0となり、徐々に所定 の、あるいは最大回転速度に達する。速度が 0から運動を開始した直後には、外部か ら潤滑油が供給されず、さらに接触面の速度も低いために油膜が形成されず、固体 同士が接触している。接触した状態で運動を継続すると、高摩擦のために熱が発生 し、接触面の凹部に保持された潤滑油は膨張する。凹部 5に保持された潤滑油も接 触表面に排出され、潤滑に寄与すると考えられるが、深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4にあつ ては、固体と潤滑油の熱膨張差によって比較的多量の潤滑油が接触表面に吐出さ れることになる。 [0075] The rolling bearing has a rotational speed of 0 at the start of operation or the dead center of the swing motion, and gradually reaches a predetermined or maximum rotational speed. Immediately after starting the motion from zero speed, no lubricant is supplied from the outside, and since the speed of the contact surface is low, no oil film is formed, and the solids are in contact with each other. If the movement continues in the contact state, heat is generated due to high friction, and the lubricating oil held in the concave portion of the contact surface expands. The lubricating oil retained in the recess 5 is also discharged to the contact surface and is thought to contribute to lubrication.However, in the deep lubricating oil storage recess 4, a relatively large amount of lubricating oil is caused by the difference in thermal expansion between the solid and the lubricating oil. Will be discharged onto the contact surface.
[0076] 転力 Sり接触部の潤滑油が極めて微量の場合には、浅い凹部 5において動圧作用を 発生させることはできないが、この発明では、深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4から吐出された 潤滑油によって、浅い凹部 5に潤滑油が補充され、転力 Sり接触部に動圧作用による 油膜が形成されやすぐ接触面が油膜によって分離する。  [0076] When the amount of lubricating oil at the contact portion of the rolling force S is extremely small, a dynamic pressure action cannot be generated in the shallow concave portion 5, but in the present invention, the lubrication discharged from the deep lubricating oil storing concave portion 4 The oil fills the shallow recess 5 with oil, and an oil film is formed by the dynamic pressure action at the contact area due to the rolling force S. The contact surface is immediately separated by the oil film.
[0077] したがって、この発明によると、速度が小さい運転条件でも接触面の固体接触が防 止され、流体潤滑状態を維持することができる。  [0077] Therefore, according to the present invention, solid contact on the contact surface is prevented even under operating conditions at a low speed, and the fluid lubrication state can be maintained.
[0078] また、油膜形成が本質的に困難な極低速の場合には、摩擦熱による熱膨張で主に 深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4から表面に吐出された油による境界潤滑性により、固体接触 が防止される。  [0078] In addition, in the case of extremely low speed where oil film formation is essentially difficult, solid contact is mainly caused by boundary lubricity due to oil discharged from the deep lubricating oil reservoir recess 4 to the surface mainly due to thermal expansion due to frictional heat. Is prevented.
[0079] 次に、深い潤滑油貯留凹部 4に貯留された潤滑油は、主に接触面の発熱に起因し た熱膨張によって吐出されるが、接触面の発熱によって、ころの部材も熱膨張し、潤 滑油貯留凹部 4の容積も増加するので、潤滑油の吐出量は、潤滑油貯留凹部 4に貯 留された潤滑油の体積の膨張分と潤滑油貯留凹部 4の容積の増加分との差となる。  [0079] Next, the lubricating oil stored in the deep lubricating oil storage recess 4 is discharged mainly due to thermal expansion caused by heat generation on the contact surface, but the roller member also expands due to heat generation on the contact surface. Since the volume of the lubricating oil storage recess 4 also increases, the amount of lubricating oil discharged depends on the expansion of the volume of the lubricating oil stored in the lubricating oil storage recess 4 and the increase in the volume of the lubricating oil storage recess 4. And the difference.
[0080] したがって、通常の転がり軸受に使用される鋼の線膨張係数は約 12 X lCT6!^1で あるのに対して、窒化珪素の熱膨張係数は約 3 X IO^K—1であり、上記のように、こ ろの材料の熱膨張係数が小さいほど、潤滑油の吐出効果が高いといえるので、ころ をセラミック、特に窒化珪素で形成した場合、潤滑油の吐出が有利になる。 [0080] Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion of steel used for ordinary rolling bearings is about 12 X lCT 6 ! ^ 1 , whereas the coefficient of thermal expansion of silicon nitride is about 3 X IO ^ K— 1 . Yes, as described above, the smaller the thermal expansion coefficient of these materials, the higher the effect of discharging the lubricating oil. Is formed of ceramic, particularly silicon nitride, it is advantageous to discharge lubricating oil.
[0081] 次に、図 9 (a)及び図 10 (a)は、浅い凹部 5を有する動圧発生面の最表面、即ち、 動圧発生面に形成される丘部の表面のみに、固体潤滑被膜又は潤滑剤保持性被膜 7を形成している。この図 9 (a)及び図 10 (a)の例のように、最表面、即ち丘部の表面 のみに固体潤滑被膜又は潤滑剤保持性被膜 7を形成し、潤滑油貯留凹部 4並びに 浅い凹部 5の丘部と丘部との間の凹部の内部に、固体潤滑被膜又は潤滑剤保持性 被膜 7を形成しないようにするには、表面処理を施した後で、穴加工すればよい。 Next, FIG. 9 (a) and FIG. 10 (a) show solid surfaces only on the outermost surface of the dynamic pressure generating surface having the shallow recess 5, that is, on the surface of the hill portion formed on the dynamic pressure generating surface. A lubricating coating or a lubricant retaining coating 7 is formed. As shown in FIGS. 9 (a) and 10 (a), a solid lubricant film or a lubricant retaining film 7 is formed only on the outermost surface, i.e., the surface of the hill, and the lubricating oil storage recess 4 and the shallow recess are formed. In order not to form the solid lubricant film or the lubricant retaining film 7 in the concave portion between the hill portions of the hills, the hole treatment may be performed after the surface treatment is performed.
[0082] 図 9 (b)及び図 10 (b)は、固体潤滑被膜又は潤滑剤保持性被膜 7を丘部と丘部と の間の凹部の内部にまで形成している。この図 9 (b)及び図 10 (b)の例のように、凹 部の内部にまで被膜 7を形成するには、凹部の加工の後に、表面処理を施せばよい 。この固体潤滑被膜又は潤滑剤保持性被膜 7は、潤滑油膜がない破断した状態に おける運転初期の摩耗を低減するため、あるいは表面に吐出された潤滑油を拡散さ せるために施すということからすると、凹部の内部の表面処理は必ずしも必要ではな い。 In FIG. 9 (b) and FIG. 10 (b), the solid lubricant film or the lubricant retaining film 7 is formed even inside the recess between the hills. As in the examples of FIGS. 9B and 10B, in order to form the film 7 even inside the concave portion, a surface treatment may be performed after the processing of the concave portion. This solid lubricant film or lubricant retaining film 7 is applied in order to reduce wear at the initial stage of operation in a ruptured state where there is no lubricant film, or to diffuse the lubricant oil discharged to the surface. The surface treatment inside the recess is not always necessary.
[0083] 上記固体潤滑被膜としては、 DLC (ダイヤモンドライクカーボン「潤滑性硬質被膜」 )、軟質金属メツキ、 MoS被膜などがある。  [0083] Examples of the solid lubricating coating include DLC (diamond-like carbon "lubricating hard coating"), soft metal plating, and MoS coating.

[0084] 上記潤滑剤保持性被膜の形成方法としては、リン酸塩処理並び黒染め処理がある 。リン酸塩処理並び黒染め処理は、表面に微細孔を生成させ、液体のぬれ性を向上 させる処理であり、この処理によって、潤滑剤の保持性が良くなり、運転初期の転がり 部材相互のなじみがよぐ摩耗を低減することができる。  [0084] As a method for forming the lubricant retaining film, there are a phosphate treatment and a black dyeing treatment. Phosphate treatment and black dyeing treatment produce fine pores on the surface and improve the wettability of the liquid. By this treatment, the retention of the lubricant is improved, and the rolling members at the initial stage of operation are compatible with each other. It is possible to reduce wear.
[0085] 以上の実施例は、円筒ころ軸受のころの転動面にこの発明を適用した例を示した  The above embodiments have shown examples in which the present invention is applied to the rolling surfaces of the rollers of the cylindrical roller bearing.
1S 内輪、外輪あるいはころ端面やつば面に適用してもよぐその他、転がりすベり運 動するあらゆる機械要素の転がり接触部に適用できる。また、図 4〜図 6の実施例に おいて、溝形状の浅い凹部 5は、転がり方向に対して直交する方向の溝とした力 溝 の方向は、接触部の形状等に応じて任意に定めることができる。  1S Can be applied to inner rings, outer rings, roller end faces and flange faces, and can be applied to rolling contact parts of any machine element that rolls and slides. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the shallow concave portion 5 having a groove shape is a groove in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction. The direction of the groove is arbitrarily determined according to the shape of the contact portion and the like. Can be determined.
[0086] (表面加工方法)  [0086] (Surface processing method)
この発明の転がり部材は、転がり接触面に、動圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹 部と、この動圧発生面を形成する凹部よりも深い潤滑油貯留凹部を有するものであり 、下記のような表面加工方法を採用することにより、転がり部材の転がり接触面に、動 圧発生面を形成する微小な浅い凹部とこの浅!/、凹部よりも潤滑油貯留凹部を効率的 に精度よく形成することカできる。 The rolling member of the present invention has, on the rolling contact surface, a small shallow concave portion that forms a dynamic pressure generating surface, and a lubricating oil storage concave portion that is deeper than the concave portion that forms this dynamic pressure generating surface. By adopting the following surface processing method, the rolling contact surface of the rolling member is more efficiently formed with a small shallow recess that forms a dynamic pressure generating surface and this shallow! It can be formed with high accuracy.
[0087] その第 1の方法は、転がり部材の母材 Aの表面に、レーザー加工により動圧を発生 させる浅い凹部 5を形成し、その後、マイクロブラスト加工により、浅い凹部 5が形成さ れた面に、潤滑油貯留凹部となる深い凹部 4を形成するという方法であり、この方法 を図 11に基づいて説明する。 [0087] In the first method, a shallow concave portion 5 that generates dynamic pressure by laser processing was formed on the surface of the base material A of the rolling member, and then the shallow concave portion 5 was formed by microblasting. This is a method of forming a deep recess 4 to be a lubricating oil storage recess on the surface, and this method will be described with reference to FIG.
[0088] (表面加工方法の第 1実施例) [0088] (First embodiment of surface processing method)
まず、図 11 (a)に示すように、転がり部材の母材 Αの表面に、位置決め機構を備え たレーザー加工装置を用いて、レーザー加工により深さ 0. 1〜1 111程度の浅い凹 部 5を形成する。  First, as shown in Fig. 11 (a), a shallow concave portion with a depth of about 0.1 to 1 111 is formed by laser processing on the surface of the base material の of the rolling member using a laser processing device equipped with a positioning mechanism. Form 5.
[0089] 続いて、図 11 (b)に示すように、浅い凹部 5が形成された転がり部材の母材 Aの表 面に、樹脂製のレジスト膜 8を貼り付ける。  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 11B, a resin resist film 8 is attached to the surface of the base material A of the rolling member in which the shallow recess 5 is formed.
[0090] この後、図 11 (c)に示すように、レジスト膜 8の表面を、深い凹部 4の開口面のパタ ーン 9が印刷されたカバーフィルム 10によって覆う。  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11C, the surface of the resist film 8 is covered with a cover film 10 on which the pattern 9 of the opening surface of the deep recess 4 is printed.
[0091] 次に、図 11 (d)に示すように、カバーフィルム 10の上から紫外線を照射し、カバー フィルム 10の光透過部の直下のレジスト膜 8を硬化させ、パターン 9を印刷した遮光 部分の直下のレジスト膜 8を未硬化の状態のままにする。この例では、レジスト膜 8に 紫外線硬化タイプのものを使用した力 S、逆に、紫外線を照射しない部分が硬化するタ イブのレジスト膜を使用してもよぐその場合には、カバーフィルム 10のネガとポジを 反転したものを使用する。  Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), ultraviolet rays are irradiated from above the cover film 10 to cure the resist film 8 immediately below the light transmitting portion of the cover film 10 and to light-shield the pattern 9 printed thereon. The resist film 8 immediately below the part is left uncured. In this example, the resist film 8 uses an ultraviolet-curing type force S, and conversely, a resist film of a type that cures the part not irradiated with ultraviolet light may be used. Use negative and positive inversion.
[0092] この後、カバーフィルム 10を除去し、レジスト膜 8の未硬化部分を除去して、図 11 ( e)に示すように、転がり部材の母材 Aの表面に、深い凹部 4の開口パターンが露出し 、開口パターン以外の部分がマスキングされたマイクロブラスト用マスク 11を形成する 。次いで、図 11 (f)に示すように、マイクロブラスト加工を行い、深い凹部 4を形成する 。マイクロブラスト加工は、微小砥粒を噴射し、深さ 10〜; 100 m程度の範囲の深い 凹部 4を形成する方法である。  [0092] Thereafter, the cover film 10 is removed, the uncured portion of the resist film 8 is removed, and the opening of the deep recess 4 is formed on the surface of the base material A of the rolling member as shown in FIG. A microblast mask 11 is formed in which the pattern is exposed and the portions other than the opening pattern are masked. Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (f), micro blasting is performed to form deep recesses 4. Microblasting is a method in which fine abrasive grains are sprayed to form deep recesses 4 having a depth of about 10 to 100 m.
[0093] この後、図 11 (g)に示すように、マイクロブラスト用マスク 11を除去すると、転がり部 材の母材 Aの表面に、浅い凹部 5と深い凹部 4が形成される。 Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), when the microblast mask 11 is removed, the rolling portion A shallow recess 5 and a deep recess 4 are formed on the surface of the base material A of the material.
[0094] (表面加工方法の第 2実施例)  [0094] (Second embodiment of surface processing method)
次に、転がり部材の母材 Aの表面に、エッチング加工により動圧を発生させる浅い 凹部 5を形成し、その後、マイクロブラスト加工により、浅い凹部 5が形成された面に、 潤滑油貯留凹部となる深い凹部 4を形成する、この発明の表面加工方法の第 2実施 例を、図 12及び図 13に基づいて説明する。  Next, shallow recesses 5 that generate dynamic pressure are formed by etching on the surface of the base material A of the rolling member, and then the lubricating oil reservoir recesses are formed on the surface on which the shallow recesses 5 are formed by microblasting. A second embodiment of the surface processing method of the present invention for forming the deep recess 4 will be described with reference to FIGS.
