Abstract

An idler pulley support device configured so that when foreign matter such as water infiltrates the dust cover, the device can smoothly discharge the infiltrating foreign matter to the outside. An idler pulley (30) is supported via a rolling bearing (20) so as to rotate freely on the outer circumference of a sleeve (10) that is fixed on an engine block (1). The two side surfaces of the rolling bearing (20) are covered by a pair of circular dust covers (40a, 40b), the inside diameters of which are supported by the sleeve (10). Tapered surfaces (44) are provided on the respective peripheral sections of the inner surfaces of the pair of dust covers (40a, 40b). Infiltrating foreign matter, which moves radially outward due to the centrifugal force resulting from rotation of the idler pulley (30), is guided by the tapered surfaces (44) and is discharged to the outside from minute gaps (43) formed between the periphery of the dust covers (40a, 40b) and the inside diameter surface of the rim (31) of the idler pulley (30).

Description

アイドラプーリの支持装置Idler pulley support device
　この発明は、エンジン補機駆動用ベルトの移動を案内するアイドラプーリの支持装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an idler pulley support device for guiding the movement of an engine accessory driving belt.
　自動車エンジンの補機駆動用ベルトの移動を案内するアイドラプーリは、普通、エンジンブロックに固定されるスリーブに転がり軸受を介して回転自在に支持される。 An idler pulley that guides the movement of an automobile engine accessory drive belt is normally rotatably supported by a sleeve fixed to the engine block via a rolling bearing.
　上記のようなアイドラプーリの支持装置において、転がり軸受が外部に露出していると、飛来してくる異物との衝突によって転がり軸受が損傷する可能性があり、また、水や塵埃等の異物が軸受内部に侵入して、転がり軸受を早期に損傷させることになるため、異物の衝突や侵入の防止対策を採る必要がある。 In the above-described idler pulley support device, if the rolling bearing is exposed to the outside, the rolling bearing may be damaged due to a collision with a flying foreign object, and foreign substances such as water and dust may be damaged. Since it enters the bearing and damages the rolling bearing at an early stage, it is necessary to take measures to prevent collision and intrusion of foreign matter.
　下記特許文献１に記載されたアイドラプーリの支持装置においては、スリーブによって内径部が支持される一対のダストカバーの組み付けにより転がり軸受の両側面を覆うようにしている。 In the idler pulley support device described in Patent Document 1 below, both sides of the rolling bearing are covered by assembling a pair of dust covers whose inner diameter is supported by a sleeve.

　ところで、特許文献１に記載されたアイドラプーリの支持装置においては、一対のダストカバーのそれぞれ外周部に内向きの円筒部を設け、その円筒部とアイドラプーリの内径面間に微小間隙を設けるようにしているため、水等の異物の侵入を効果的に防止することができるが、異物が一旦侵入すると、上記円筒部が異物の径方向外方への移動を阻害して外部にスムーズに排出させることができず、滞留異物の軸受内部への侵入によって転がり軸受の寿命に影響を与えることになる。 By the way, in the idler pulley support device described in Patent Document 1, an inward cylindrical portion is provided on each outer peripheral portion of the pair of dust covers, and a minute gap is provided between the cylindrical portion and the inner diameter surface of the idler pulley. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the entry of foreign matters such as water, but once the foreign matter has entered, the cylindrical part obstructs the movement of the foreign matter radially outward and smoothly discharges to the outside. The life of the rolling bearing is affected by the entry of stagnant foreign matter into the bearing.
　この発明の課題は、ダストカバー内に水等の異物が侵入した際、その侵入異物を外部にスムーズに排出することができるようにして、アイドラプーリを支持する転がり軸受の耐久性の低下を抑制することである。 The object of the present invention is to prevent the entry of foreign matter such as water into the dust cover and to smoothly discharge the foreign matter to the outside, thereby suppressing the deterioration of the durability of the rolling bearing that supports the idler pulley.

　上記の構成からなるアイドラプーリの支持装置において、ダストカバーと転がり軸受の対向部間に異物が侵入すると、その異物は、アイドラプーリの回転による遠心力により径方向外方に向けて移動し、ダストカバーの外周部に設けられたテーパ面で案内されて、ダストカバーの外周とリムの内径面間に形成された微小間隙から外部に排出されることになり、侵入異物を滞留させることなく外部にスムーズに排出させることができる。 In the idler pulley support device having the above-described configuration, when foreign matter enters between the facing portions of the dust cover and the rolling bearing, the foreign matter moves radially outward due to centrifugal force due to rotation of the idler pulley, Guided by the taper surface provided on the outer periphery of the cover, it will be discharged to the outside through a minute gap formed between the outer periphery of the dust cover and the inner surface of the rim, so that no foreign matter stays outside. It can be discharged smoothly.
　ここで、アイドラプーリにおけるリムの内径面両端部に開口端を大径端とするテーパ面を設けると、侵入異物を外部によりスムーズに排出させることができる。 Here, if the tapered surfaces having the open ends at the large diameter ends are provided at both end portions of the inner diameter surface of the rim in the idler pulley, the intruding foreign matter can be discharged smoothly from the outside.

The idler pulley support device is configured to cover both side surfaces of the rolling bearing with a pair of annular dust covers arranged to face the inner surface of the rim of the idler pulley with a minute gap therebetween. The structure which provided the taper surface which makes an opening end the large diameter end in the circumferential both ends was employ | adopted.

As in the first invention, the invading foreign matter can be smoothly discharged to the outside.
　ここで、ダストカバーの外周部に設けられるテーパ面やリムの内周両端部に設けられるテーパ面は、その断面形状で直線とされたものであってもよく、あるいは、凹曲線とされたものであってもよい。 Here, the taper surface provided on the outer periphery of the dust cover and the taper surfaces provided on both ends of the inner periphery of the rim may be linear in the cross-sectional shape, or may be a concave curve. It may be.
　第１の発明のように、ダストカバーの外周部にテーパ面を設け、あるいは、第２の発明のように、リムの内周両端部にテーパ面を設けたことにより、侵入異物を滞留させることなく外部にスムーズに排出することができ、異物の侵入による転がり軸受の耐久性の低下を抑制することができる。 As in the first aspect of the invention, the outer surface of the dust cover is provided with a tapered surface, or as in the second aspect of the invention, the tapered surface is provided at both ends of the inner periphery of the rim so as to retain intruding foreign matter. Therefore, it can be smoothly discharged to the outside, and the deterioration of the durability of the rolling bearing due to the entry of foreign matter can be suppressed.

　上記の構成からなるアイドラプーリの支持装置においては、スリーブ１０によって内径部が支持される一対のダストカバー４０ａ、４０ｂによって転がり軸受２０の両側を覆うことができるため、飛来してくる異物の衝突によって転がり軸受２０が損傷するのを防止することができる。 In the idler pulley support device having the above-described configuration, both sides of the rolling bearing 20 can be covered by the pair of dust covers 40a and 40b whose inner diameter portions are supported by the sleeve 10, and therefore, by collision of incoming foreign matter. It is possible to prevent the rolling bearing 20 from being damaged.
　また、ダストカバー４０ａ、４０ｂの外周部とリム３１の対向面間に微小間隙４３が設けられているため、上記微小間隙４３から一対のダストカバー４０ａ、４０ｂと転がり軸受２０の対向部間に水等の異物が侵入することが少ない。仮に侵入したとしても、その侵入異物はアイドラプーリ３０の回転による遠心力により径方向外方に向けて移動し、ダストカバー４０ａ、４０ｂの内面外周部に形成されたテーパ面４４により誘導されて環状空間３４内に流入し、微小間隙４３から外部に排出されることになる。 In addition, since the minute gap 43 is provided between the outer peripheral portions of the dust covers 40 a and 40 b and the facing surface of the rim 31, water flows between the minute gap 43 and the facing portions of the pair of dust covers 40 a and 40 b and the rolling bearing 20. Such as foreign substances such as Even if intruding, the invading foreign substance moves radially outward by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the idler pulley 30, and is guided by the tapered surface 44 formed on the inner periphery of the dust covers 40a and 40b to form an annular shape. It flows into the space 34 and is discharged to the outside through the minute gap 43.
　上記のように、一対のダストカバー４０ａ、４０ｂの内側面の外周部にテーパ面４４を設けることによって侵入異物を滞留させることなく外部にスムーズに排出させることができ、水等の異物の侵入によって転がり軸受２０が損傷するのを防止することができる。 As described above, by providing the tapered surface 44 on the outer peripheral portion of the inner side surface of the pair of dust covers 40a, 40b, the intruding foreign matter can be smoothly discharged without stagnation, and the intrusion of foreign matter such as water It is possible to prevent the rolling bearing 20 from being damaged.
