Abstract
Description
すなわち、特許文献1には、板ばねの中央部がU字状になっていることから、Uボルトを締め付けることにより、各板ばねの上面に引張応力が発生し、下面に圧縮応力が発生することが記載されている。
特許文献2には、車両用リーフスプリングの間に設けられるスペーサ部材の形状を変えることで乗心地が改善されることが記載されている。
板ばねは、下方に突出して湾曲する曲率をもつ形状に形成される。
そのため、板ばねが平板状の座金や、平板状のスペーサに挟まれて、センターボルトやUボルトで締結固定された場合、湾曲する形状をもつ板ばねの中央部は、平面形状になるように変形する。
さらに、前記したように、板ばねの中央部には、ボルト挿通孔が形成されている。そのため、組み付け状態で板ばねの中央部近傍に高応力が生じた場合、応力集中が発生し、板ばねが中央部から破損しやすくなる。
第1の本発明によれば、板ばねが固定された際に変形することが抑えられ、板ばねに応力が発生することが抑制される。
第2の本発明によれば、間隔保持部材の上面が板ばねの下面に沿った面を有しているので、板ばねが固定された際に変形することが抑えられ、板ばねに応力が発生することが抑制される。
第3の本発明によれば、間隔保持部材の下面が前記板ばねの上面に沿った面を有しているので、板ばねが固定された際に変形することが抑えられ、板ばねに応力が発生することが抑制される。
第9の本発明によれば、第1から第7のうちの何れかの本発明の効果を奏する間隔保持部材を備える重ね板ばねが得られる。
<<実施形態1>>
図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る懸架装置を正面から見た図である。
実施形態1の懸架装置Sは、車両の車体に備えられ車軸11を支持する。車体とは例えば、シャーシ10である。
間隔保持部材の一例である、座金5は板ばね1aの下方に設けられる。また、同じく、間隔保持部材の一例である、スペーサ4aは板ばね1a、1b間に設けられる。スペーサ4bは板ばね1b、1c間に固定される。
板ばね1は下方に突出して湾曲した形状を有している。つまり、板ばね1は下方に突出した曲率をもつ曲面の上下面をもって形成されている。
シャーシ10は、前後方向に延伸するフレームで構成され、懸架装置Sを取り付ける前方取付部12と後方取付部13とを有する。
車輪Wが取り付けられる車軸11は、ハウジング11aに回転自在に支持される。ハウジング11aは、一対のUボルト11bで懸架装置Sに懸架されている。
Uボルト11bは、板ばね1、スペーサ4、および座金5を、センターボルトb1を挟んだ両側で束ねて固定している。
板ばね1の中央部とは、板ばね長手方向においてUボルト11bの有する一対の軸部の間を含む領域である。
なお、板ばね1の中央部は、板ばね長手方向においてUボルト11bより外側方を含む領域であってもよい。
最下方に配置される板ばね1aの下方には座金5が設けられる。座金5は、懸架装置Sに対する車体(図示せず)の高さ調整用の部材である。
板ばね1aの上方には第1スペーサ4aが配置される。下から2番目と3番目の板ばね1b、1cの間には、第2スペーサ4bが配置される。第1・第2スペーサ4a、4bは、板ばね1が直接摺動することによる表面層(メッキ層、塗膜等)の剥離を防止する。
第1・第2スペーサ4a、4bは板ばね1が延在する方向に長い扁平な略板状の形状を有している。第1・第2スペーサ4a、4bは、例えば、亜鉛めっき鋼板(SGCC)等の金属、POM(polyoxymethylene)等の樹脂で形成される。
第1・第2スペーサ4a、4bには、それぞれセンターボルトb1の挿通孔4a3、4b3が貫設されている。
第1スペーサ4aの下面4a2は、平らな面を有している。第1スペーサ4aは、図3Bに示すように、端部から中央部に向かって板厚が漸減する。
第2スペーサ4bの上面4b1と下面4b2は、ともに平面形状を有している。
座金5は板ばね1が延在する方向に長い扁平な略板状の形状を有している。座金5は、例えば、軟鋼(Cが0.25%以下の鋼)、ばね鋼(S50C-CSP、SK85‐CSP、SUS301‐CSP等)等で形成される。
座金5の上面5uは、板ばね1aの下方に突出した湾曲した形状の下面1a1(図2参照)に沿って、下方に突出した湾曲した形状を有している。座金5の下面5sは、平面形状をもつ。座金5は、端部から中央部に向かって板厚が漸減する。
次に、上述の座金5、第1スペーサ4aを用いた場合の板ばね1の発生応力の低減効果について検証する。
図4Aは比較例の応力低減効果の検証法を示す図であり、図4Bは実施例の応力低減効果の検証法を示す図である。
比較例としては、平面形状の上面102u、下面102sをもつ板状のスペーサ102で、板ばね1tを挟んだものとした(図4A参照)。
(状態1)の発生応力、「センターボルトb1の締め付け時」+「Uボルト11bの締め付け時」(状態2)の発生応力、(状態1)の発生応力に対する(状態2)の発生応力の増加量、およびその平均の発生応力の増加量を表した表である。
従って、「センターボルトb1の締め付け時」(状態1)において、比較例に対し、実施例1、2、3で約40~60MPaの応力低下が観察され、明確な応力低減効果が確認された。
従って、「センターボルトb1」+「Uボルト11bの締め付け時」(状態2)において、比較例に対し、実施例1、2、3で約280~360MPaの応力低下が観察され、明確な応力低減効果が確認された。
以上の評価から、実施例1、2、3(実施形態1の構成)の比較例に対する応力低下の明確な優位性が確認された。
湾曲したまたは曲面箇所をもつ形状の板ばね1がセンターボルトb1、Uボルト11bで固定され、中央部が平面状に変形した場合、変形量が大きいほど、すなわち発生応力が大きいほど、板ばね1の寿命が短くなる。一方、板ばね1の変形量が小さいほど、すなわち発生応力が小さいほど、板ばね1の寿命が長くなる。
従って、実施形態1の座金5、第1スペーサ4aを用いた場合、板ばね1の発生応力が低下することから板ばね1が長寿命化する。
図5は実施形態2の懸架装置の板ばねの中央近傍を示す正面拡大図である。
実施形態2の懸架装置2Sは、板ばね1aの上方に配置されるスペーサ24aに、板ばね1aの下方に突出して湾曲した形状の上面1a2に沿った形状の下面24a2を形成したものである。

座金25は板ばね1が延在する方向に長い扁平な略板状の形状を有している。座金25は、実施形態1の座金5と同様な材料で形成される。
座金25は、上面25u、下面25sとも平らな面に形成されている。
板ばね1aは、平らな面の上面25uをもつ座金25の上方に配置され、板ばね1aの上方に、板ばね1aの下方に突出した湾曲した形状の上面1a2に沿って、下方に突出した湾曲した形状の下面24a2をもつ第1スペーサ24aが配置される。この状態で、センターボルトb1とUボルト11bとで、板ばね1a等が締結固定される。
従って、板ばね1aの応力集中が緩和され疲労破壊が抑制され、板ばね1aの長寿命化が可能である。そのため、懸架装置2Sの長寿命化が果たせる。
なお、懸架装置2Sにおいて、最下方の板ばね1aが、荷重が最も大きくなるので、板ばね1aに第1スペーサ24aを適用することが最も効果的である。
変形例は、懸架装置Sのスペーサ4a、4bまたは座金5が、それぞれ隣接する板ばね1の湾曲する外面に対向して、平らな面の曲率より大きく当該外面より小さい曲率をもつ面を有する構成としたものである。
従って、懸架装置Sの信頼性を向上させ、長寿命化を図ることができる。
1.前記実施形態1、2、変形例では、スペーサ(4a、4b等)の何れか一面が隣接する板ばね1に沿う形状の場合を説明したが、スペーサの上下面の両面を上方の第1の板ばね1の下面と下方の第2の板ばね1の上面とに沿う構成とし、第1の板ばね1と第2の板ばね1との間に当該スペーサを配置する構成としてもよい。
第1の態様において、スペーサ板(4a)は一対の湾曲した板ばね(1a、1b)の間に保持される。スペーサ板(4a)は対向する板面(4a1、4a2)を有する。対向する板面の一方は凹面(4a1)である。
スペーサ板(4a)の凹面(4a1)は、一方の板ばね(1c)の凸面と接触する。スペーサ板(4a)の凹面(4a1)の曲率は、一方の板ばねの凸面の曲率と等しい又はより小さい。スペーサ板(4a)の凹面(4a1)は、曲率において一方の板ばね(1c)の凸面と等しい場合、両者は面接触する。
一方、対向する板面の他方は平面(4a2)である。スペーサ板(4a)の平面(4a2)は、他方の板ばね(1b)の凹面(1b2)と線接触する。
スペーサ板(24a)の凸面(24a2)は、一方の板ばね(1a)の凹面(24a1)と向き合う。スペーサ板(24a)の凸面(24a2)の曲率は、一方の板ばね(1a)の凹面(1a2)の曲率と等しい又はより大きい。スペーサ板(24a)の凸面(24a2)の曲率が一方の板ばね(1a)の凹面の曲率と等しい場合、両者は面接触する。
対向する板面の他方は平面(24a1)である。スペーサ板(24a)の平面(24a1)は、他方の板ばね(1b)の凸面と線接触する。
1a1、1b1 下面(板ばねの湾曲した外面)
1a2、1b2 上面(板ばねの湾曲した外面)
4a、24a 第1スペーサ(スペーサ)
4a1 上面(板ばねの湾曲した外面に沿った面、板ばねの下面に沿った面、板ばねの外面の曲率と同じ曲率をもった箇所を有する面)
4b、24b 第2スペーサ(第2スペーサ)
5、25 座金
5u 上面(板ばねの湾曲した外面に沿った面、板ばねの下面に沿った面、板ばねの外面の曲率と同じ曲率をもった箇所を有する面)
24a2 下面(板ばねの上面に沿った面)
S、2S 懸架装置(重ね板ばね)
