Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rolling bearing that is oil-lubricated, and more particularly, to a rolling bearing that is lubricated with oil flowing in through a filter.
- Rolling bearings are incorporated in transmissions such as automobiles and various construction machines, power transmission mechanisms such as differentials, reduction gears, and traveling devices including them.
- power transmission mechanisms such as differentials, reduction gears, and traveling devices including them.
- this type of apparatus there is a structure in which the rolling bearing is lubricated with oil common to the oil that lubricates the power transmission mechanism.
- the oil contained in the case of a power transmission mechanism such as a transmission, a differential, and a speed reducer contains a relatively large amount of foreign matter such as gear wear powder (iron powder, etc.).
- gear wear powder iron powder, etc.
- the seal ring is an elastic seal member made of an elastomer material, and a filter for capturing foreign matter is attached to an oil circulation hole provided in the seal ring (for example, Patent Document 1 below). 2).
- an oil passage hole is provided in a seal ring made of an elastomer material (hereinafter, the seal ring made of an elastomer material is particularly referred to as an “elastic seal member”).
- the oil passage hole is covered with a filter.
- the elastic seal member is exposed to the bearing opening, that is, the seal mounting portion without the cored bar. For this reason, when some external force is applied to the elastic seal member at the time of bearing assembly, transportation, or when incorporating a mechanical device, the sealing performance is impaired by the elastic seal member being deformed or deviating from a normal assembled state. there is a possibility.
- an object of the present invention relates to a seal ring with a filter provided in a rolling bearing so as not to impair the sealing performance and to extend the life of the seal ring.
- the present invention incorporates a rolling element between an outer race and an inner race, and at least one end of a bearing space formed between the outer race and the inner race.
- a rolling bearing in which the opening is covered with a resin seal ring, and a filter is provided in an oil passage hole formed in the seal ring, and the filter captures foreign matter contained in the lubricating oil.
- the seal ring was formed by injection molding, and a rolling bearing characterized in that a weld line generated at the time of injection molding was arranged in an axial direction without the oil passage hole was adopted.
- weld line When a plastic seal ring is manufactured by injection molding, some kind of weld line is unavoidable. However, by arranging the weld line in the direction around the axis without oil holes, the strength and reliability of the seal ring Can be improved, and the life can be further extended. That is, the strength of the weld line may be reduced by about 40 to 50% of the base material tensile strength in some cases, so that the weld line is positioned at a position avoiding the oil passage hole where the cross-sectional area is small and the strength is relatively low. Setting the line is a design that is advantageous in terms of strength.
- the gate is an inlet of the molten resin into the mold and has a function of blocking the flow path and preventing backflow until the molten resin is cooled and solidified.
- the weld line is a fusion defect (a kind of molding defect) that occurs when molten materials collide with each other when molding resin parts, and the materials are completely melted together when the materials collide with each other. It occurs because it has cooled before and solidifies.
- weld lines are particularly obstructed in the space in the mold when resin shunts occur so as to avoid obstacles such as members for providing holes in the molded product and other shafts embedded in the molded product. This occurs because the shunted materials merge when they go around. This is because the top portion of the resin flowing in the mold is the easiest to cool and solidifies first. As described above, this weld line can be visually recognized as a thin line on the surface of the molded product, and depending on its position and degree, it may be undesirable in terms of appearance and strength. Further, the position of the gate can also be visually recognized on the surface of the molded product.
- the seal ring includes a plurality of convex locking portions on the inner diameter portion thereof in the circumferential direction, and the inner race has a concave portion that engages with the locking portions on the outer peripheral portion thereof.
- a ring member made of a material softer than the seal ring is fixed to the seal ring, and a lip portion that faces or contacts the outer raceway with a gap is adopted by the ring member. Can do.
- the material is free as long as the annular member is softer than the seal ring.
- the annular member is softer than the resin constituting the seal ring.
- a configuration made of a certain elastomer material, that is, a configuration made of rubber can be adopted.
- the seal ring fixed to the race ring is a material that is relatively hard compared to the annular member constituting the lip portion, and thus is resistant to deformation against external force, that is, deformed against external force. Hateful.
- the main body of the seal ring made of a material that is difficult to deform is fixed to the bearing by fitting (for example, the inner diameter of the resin ring and the outer diameter of the inner ring are fixed by fitting), so that the gap between the two Intrusion of foreign matters can be prevented more reliably and sealing performance can be ensured.
- the filter is firmly fixed to the seal ring body, which is a material that is difficult to deform, and only the annular member that forms a soft and relatively easily damaged lip portion is attached to the seal ring body. Can be exchanged. Therefore, the sealing performance can be prevented from being impaired, and the life of the seal member and the bearing using the seal ring can be extended.
- the bearing may be damaged before the calculated life is satisfied. Even if the rolling bearing of the present invention is used in a harsh usage environment where foreign matter enters the lubricating oil, it can reliably prevent harmful foreign matter from entering the bearing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the bearing life from being reduced.
- a glass fiber reinforced resin can be employed as a material for the seal ring.
- Glass fiber reinforced resin is a material that has higher rigidity than an elastomer alone and is difficult to deform against external force. Employing such a material is effective in ensuring sealing performance.
- the resin ring member constituting the main body of the seal ring is fitted and fixed to the bearing, but even when hoop stress (circumferential stress) or external force is generated at this time
- a member excellent in strength can be manufactured by the glass fiber reinforced resin. This material change does not require dimensional changes and can be manufactured at low cost.
- the resin ring member constituting the seal ring is hardly deformed or damaged, and the resin ring member or the bearing has a longer life and the reliability is improved.
- the fibers are less likely to be entangled at the weld portion, and may have relatively low strength.
- the strength is the same as that of a natural material that does not contain reinforcing fibers. Therefore, it is necessary to design so that such a situation does not occur. Therefore, as described above, it is particularly effective to employ a method and a structure in which the weld line is arranged in the direction around the axis without the oil passage hole.
- the weld line is generated in a portion having a large cross-sectional area, a decrease in strength can be minimized, and the large cross-sectional area increases the degree of freedom of resin flow, and fibers are easily entangled in the weld portion. We can expect the effect.
- the seal ring strength is minimized, and the strength and reliability of the seal member with filter are improved and the service life is extended. Can be achieved.
- a configuration in which an even number of the oil passage holes and the locking portions are provided can be employed. If there are an even number of oil passage holes and locking portions, the number of spaces between the oil passage holes adjacent in the circumferential direction of the seal ring will be an even number. For this reason, if gates are arranged in every other or odd number of spaces among the even number of spaces, it is easy to arrange weld lines in spaces where no gates are arranged. Moreover, since the number of latching
- the number of the locking portions is a multiple or a divisor (however, limited to an even number) of the number of oil passage holes.
- the gate so as to face the locking portion. Since the locking portion has a protruding shape, it is effective to provide a gate at the protruding portion.
- the locking portion is located on the inner side in the axial direction and has a relatively low projecting height toward the inner diameter side, and on the outer side in the axial direction, the projection height is relatively high toward the inner diameter side.
- the oil passage hole and the outer protrusion are arranged so that their orientations around the axis do not overlap each other. Since the cross-sectional area of the seal ring is small at the place where the oil passage hole is arranged, if the positions of the oil passage hole and the outer protrusion with a relatively high protrusion height overlap in the circumferential direction, the cross-sectional area This is because a force is easily applied to a small portion and a filter attached thereto.
- the interval between the oil passage holes and the interval between the locking portions with respect to the circumferential direction of the seal ring may be freely set, but the oil passage hole and the locking portion are respectively along the circumferential direction. It is desirable to arrange them at regular intervals. In particular, it is desirable to arrange the outer protrusions at equal intervals along the circumferential direction.
- a configuration in which the number of gates at the time of injection molding is half the number of oil passage holes can be employed. If the number of gates is half of the number of oil passage holes, it is easy to place the gates in every other space among the even number of spaces between adjacent oil passage holes along the circumferential direction of the seal ring. . It is desirable to arrange the gates at equal intervals along the circumferential direction.
- the gate in the convex portion constituting the outer protruding portion, filling of the resin into the convex portion is smooth.
- the gate avoids a portion of the outer protrusion that directly engages with the concave groove on the race ring side. This is because in the molded product, the resin is cut and separated at the gate, so that minute irregularities and slight burrs may occur.

- the annular member 40 is fitted and fixed to the outer periphery of the lip mounting portion 27 and is in close contact with the lip mounting portion 27 due to its elasticity.
- a material of the annular member 40 for example, nitrile rubber, acrylic rubber, urethane rubber, fluoro rubber, or the like can be used for synthetic rubber.
- the annular member 40 fixed to the lip mounting portion 27 constitutes a lip portion 41 that contacts the outer race 11. Since the seal ring 20 fixed to the inner race 12 is a relatively hard material compared to the annular member 40 constituting the lip portion 41, the seal ring 20 is resistant to deformation due to external force, that is, hardly deformed against external force. . For this reason, the filter 23 is firmly fixed to the main body of the seal ring 20, which is a material that is difficult to deform. Further, the annular member 40 constituting the lip portion 41 that is soft and relatively easily damaged can be exchanged for the seal ring 20. Therefore, the life of the seal member S and the bearing using the seal member S can be extended.
- the position of the annular member 40 in the bearing width direction with respect to the seal ring 20 is determined. It can also be adjustable. This adjustment can be performed, for example, by inserting a dimension adjusting member between the axially outer end surface 40 a of the annular member 40 and the inner end surface 27 a of the lip mounting portion 27.

- the seal ring 20 has a convex engagement portion 21 provided on its inner diameter side and enters a circumferential seal groove (concave portion) 30 provided on the inner raceway ring 12.
- the wheel 12 is locked so as to be movable in the radial direction.
- the locking portion 21 of the seal ring 20 is located on the inner diameter side provided at the inner diameter side end of the wall portion 25. Protruding portion 24 is provided.
- the projecting portion 24 includes an inner projecting portion 24a on the side closer to the rolling element 13 (inner side in the axial direction) and an outer projecting portion 24b on the far side (outer side in the axial direction).
- the seal groove 30 includes an inner seal groove 30a into which the inner protrusion 24a enters and an outer seal groove 30b into which the outer protrusion 24b enters.
- the inner protrusion 24a has a relatively low protrusion height toward the inner diameter side
- the outer protrusion 24b has a relatively high protrusion height toward the inner diameter side.
- the seal ring 20 When the projecting portion 24 enters the seal groove 30, the seal ring 20 is locked to the inner race 12 so as to be movable in the radial direction during thermal expansion. Further, since the projecting portion 24 is composed of two projecting portions 24a and 24b along the axial direction, the seal ring 20 is more reliably guided to the inner track by the two projecting portions 24a and 24b having different axial positions. The ring 12 can be locked.
- the depth h1 at which the inner protrusion 24a enters the inner seal groove 30a is the outer protrusion. It is set relatively shallower than the depth h2 at which the portion 24b enters the outer seal groove 30b. For this reason, when the seal ring 20 is pushed and fixed into the opening of the bearing space, the inner projection 24a on the back side can be easily fitted into the inner seal groove 30a by elastic deformation or heat deformation at the time of the push.
- the penetration depth h2 of the outer protrusion 24b with respect to the outer seal groove 30b is relatively deep, the outer diameter of the seal ring 20 is larger as in the state after the temperature rise (expanded state) shown in FIG. Even with respect to the amount of thermal expansion in the direction, the outer protrusion 24b and the outer seal groove 30b can remain locked. In other words, the engagement between the seal ring 20 and the inner race 12 can be maintained, and even in this expanded state, no gap is created in which harmful foreign substances enter the rolling bearing 10.
- the penetration depth h2 of the outer protrusion 24b into the outer seal groove 30b is set so that no gap is formed (see FIG. 2B). For this reason, under the temperature environment assumed for the seal ring 20, the state in which the outer protruding portion 24 b always enters the outer seal groove 30 b is maintained, and a gap is formed between the inner race 12 and harmful foreign matter. I won't let you.
- the inner side protrusion part 24a and the outer side protrusion part 24b are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction.
- the inner protrusion 24a is formed on the outer protrusion 24b when the seal ring 20 is pushed into the bearing space and fixed. It is difficult to enter the blind spot. For this reason, it is easy to visually confirm that the inner projecting portion 24a on the back side is fitted in the inner seal groove 30a.

Can be compared.
- the outer protrusion 24b has an axial clearance w1 between the outer seal groove 30b and its end wall. That is, the axial width of the outer seal groove 30b is wider by the axial gap w1 than the width of the outer protrusion 24b. For this reason, the outer protrusion 24b can move in the axial direction within the outer seal groove 30b within the range of the axial gap w1.
- the outer protrusion 24b can move in the axial direction in the outer seal groove 30b, the outer protrusion 24b is not restrained in the outer seal groove 30b when the seal ring 20 is thermally expanded. , And can move smoothly in the radial direction along with the thermal expansion. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the pulling force in the outer diameter direction due to the thermal expansion from acting on the seal ring 20, and avoid damage to the filter 23.
- the outer seal groove 30b is formed to be open at the end face of the inner race 12 as shown in FIG. Further, a shaft shoulder (shoulder portion of the axle) A that fits and is fixed to the inner diameter of the inner raceway ring 12 is brought into contact with the end surface of the inner raceway ring 12. For this reason, the opening of the end surface of the outer seal groove 30b can be closed by the shaft shoulder A after the outer protrusion 24b is fitted into the outer seal groove 30b. In this way, if the outer seal groove 30b is opened in the end face of the inner race 12, the fitting is easy. Moreover, since the opening of the end surface can be closed by the shaft shoulder A, the outer protrusion 24b is prevented from being detached from the outer seal groove 30b.
- the inner protruding portion 24a and the outer protruding portion 24b are arranged so that no overlapping portion is generated in the circumferential direction. That is, the azimuth directions around the axes of the inner protrusions 24a at both ends in the circumferential direction coincide with the azimuth directions around the axes at the circumferential ends of the outer protrusions 24b adjacent in the circumferential direction.
- the oil passage hole 22 and the outer projecting portion 24b are arranged so that their azimuth directions do not overlap each other. Since the cross-sectional area of the seal ring 20 is small at the place where the oil passage hole 22 is disposed, if the positions of the oil passage hole 22 and the outer protrusion 24b having a relatively high protrusion height overlap in the circumferential direction, This is because a force (such as a tensile force at the time of thermal expansion) is easily applied to a portion having a small cross-sectional area and the filter 23 attached thereto. Further, the outer protruding portion 24b has a high protruding height and is located immediately below the wall portion 25 where the oil passage hole 22 is interposed, and thus is relatively close to such a small cross-sectional area.
- the inner side protrusion part 24a is arrange

That is, if the oil passage holes 22 and the outer protrusions 24 b are the same number of even numbers, the number of spaces between the oil passage holes 22 adjacent in the circumferential direction of the seal ring 20 is also an even number. For this reason, in every other space among the even number of spaces, by arranging the gate g for filling the resin in the mold at the time of injection molding, the space between which the gate g is not arranged is arranged.

- the lip mounting portion 27 has a U-shaped cross section, the annular member 40 has a protective effect against external force from the outer peripheral side with respect to the seal ring 20. Further, since the lip mounting portion 27 has a U-shaped cross section, when an adhesive or a filler is used for fixing the annular member 40, an effect of preventing leakage of the adhesive or the filler can be expected.
- the protruding portion 24 constituting the locking portion 21 is configured to include the inner protruding portion 24a on the side close to the rolling element 13 and the outer protruding portion 24b on the far side.
- the configuration is not limited to this embodiment.

Abstract
Description
この種の装置では、転がり軸受が、動力伝達機構を潤滑するオイルと共通のオイルで潤滑される構造となっているものがある。
また、ウエルドラインとは、樹脂部品を成形する際に溶融した材料同士がぶつかる点で生じる融着不良(一種の成形不良)であり、材料がぶつかった点で材料同士が、互いに完全に溶融する前に冷めてしまい、固化するために生じるものである。
したがって、シール性が損なわれにくいようにでき、また、シールリングを用いたシール部材及び軸受を長寿命化することができる。
また、ガラス繊維強化樹脂を採用したことで、シールリングを構成する樹脂リング部材の変形や損傷が起こりにくく、樹脂リング部材や軸受がさらに長寿命になり、信頼性が向上する。
また、係止部の数も偶数であるから、その偶数個の係止部を、通油孔同士の間のスペースに配置させやすい。このとき、通油孔と係止部の数は、同数であることが望ましい。あるいは、係止部の数は、通油孔の数の倍数又は約数(ただし偶数に限る)であることが望ましい。
このとき、ゲートを、その係止部に面して設けることも可能である。係止部は突出した形状を成すので、その突出した部分にゲートを設けることが有効である。
ただし、そのゲートは、外側突出部のうち、軌道輪側の凹状溝部に対して直接係合する部分を避けることが望ましい。成型品は、ゲートにおいて樹脂が切断・分離されるため、微小な凹凸や僅かなバリが発生する場合があるからである。
また、シールリングに円環部材を備える場合に、軌道輪に固定されるシールリングを、リップ部を構成する円環部材よりも硬い素材としたので、シールリングの本体を軸受に対して嵌め合いで固定することで、両者の隙間からの異物侵入をより確実に防ぎ、シール性を確保することができる。また、フィルタは、その変形しにくい素材であるシールリングの本体にしっかりと固定され、また、柔らかくて相対的に損傷しやすいリップ部を構成する円環部材を、そのシールリングの本体に対して交換可能とすることができる。したがって、シール性が損なわれにくいようにでき、また、シールリングを用いたシール部材及び軸受を長寿命化することができる。
また、これらのフィルタ23やシールリング20の素材として、ガラス繊維強化樹脂の他、炭素繊維強化樹脂やポリエチレン繊維強化樹脂、又は、アラミド繊維強化樹脂等でも適用できる。
この調整は、例えば、円環部材40の軸方向外側端面40aとリップ取付部27の内側端面27aとの間に、寸法調整用部材を挿入することで可能である。この寸法調整用部材を板状の部材(シム)とすれば、板厚の異なる様々な部材を用意しておくことで、調整寸法の設定が容易である。
また、突出部24が、軸方向に沿って二つの突出部24a,24bで構成されているので、その軸方向位置の異なる二つの突出部24a,24bによって、シールリング20をより確実に内側軌道輪12に係止できるようになっている。
このため、シールリング20を軸受空間の開口に押し込んで固定する際に、奥側の内側突出部24aは、その押し込み時の弾性変形又は加熱変形により、容易に内側シール溝30aに嵌め込みできる。
このため、シールリング20に想定される温度環境下では、常に、外側突出部24bが外側シール溝30bに入り込んだ状態が維持され、内側軌道輪12との間に有害な異物が入り込む隙間を生じさせない。
このように、内側突出部24aと外側突出部24bとが周方向に交互配置であれば、シールリング20を軸受空間の開口に押し込んで固定する際に、内側突出部24aが外側突出部24bの死角に入りにくい。このため、奥側の内側突出部24aが内側シール溝30aに嵌まっていることを目視で確認しやすい。なお、図4(a)では、図3(a)に示すシールリング20のA-A断面に対応する断面図を、図4(b)では、同B-B断面に対応する断面図を記載している。また、図1及び図2では、図3(b)に示すシールリング20のII-II断面に対応する断面図を記載し、内側突出部24aと外側突出部24bとの位置関係及び突出高さを比較できるようにしている。
このように、外側シール溝30bを内側軌道輪12の端面に開口させれば、その嵌め込みは容易である。また、その端面の開口は軸肩Aで塞ぐことができるので、外側シール溝30bからの外側突出部24bの離脱が防止されている。
この例の場合、型枠内の空間において、成型品に通油孔22を設けるための部材を避けるように樹脂の分流が生じ(図中の矢印a,b参照)、その樹脂が、隣り合う通油孔22間の中央でウェルドラインwを形成する(同矢印c参照)とともに、通油孔22の部分を回り込んだときに、分流した材料同士が合流する(同矢印d参照)ためにウェルドラインwが形成される。このため、前述のように、ゲートgは、通油孔22が無い軸周り方位に配置することが望ましい。
すなわち、通油孔22と外側突出部24bとがそれぞれ同数の偶数個であれば、シールリング20の周方向に沿って隣り合う通油孔22同士の間のスペースの数も偶数となる。このため、その偶数個のスペースのうち一つおきのスペースに、射出成型時において型枠内に樹脂を充填するためのゲートgを配置することで、その間のゲートgを配置していないスペースにウエルドラインwを配置している。
したがって、ゲートgの数は、通油孔22の数の半数(外側突出部24bの数の半数)である。また、ゲートgは、周方向に沿って等間隔である。
これらの構成によれば、射出成形時に生じるウエルドラインwを通油孔22が無い軸周り方位に配置することができる。
