- Thrust roller bearings which are a type of rolling bearing, are incorporated into the rotation support parts of various rotating machinery such as automobile transmissions and refrigerator compressors to support the thrust load applied to rotating members such as rotating shafts. It is done.
- FIG. 16 shows an example of a conventional thrust roller bearing described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-344029 (Patent Document 1).
- Thrust roller bearing 100 includes a pair of thrust races 101a and 101b, a plurality of rollers 102, and retainer 103.
- Each of the pair of thrust races 101a, 101b has an annular flat plate shape as a whole, and has thrust raceway surfaces 104a, 104b on one side facing each other in the axial direction.
- the plurality of rollers 102 have a substantially cylindrical shape, and are arranged between a pair of thrust raceway surfaces 104a and 104b with their central axes oriented in the radial direction.
- the retainer 103 has pockets 105 at regular intervals in the circumferential direction, and the rollers 102 are held inside the respective pockets 105 so as to be free to roll.
- a thrust race 101a (101b) forming a conventional thrust roller bearing 100 has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape.
- the thrust race 101a (101b) has a flat surface-like thrust raceway surface 104a (104b) in the radially intermediate portion of the surface on one side (the upper side in FIG. 17) in the axial direction. It has a chamfer (R chamfer) 106 at the end.
- R chamfer chamfer
- the ratio of the radial width Lx of the thrust raceway surface 104a (104b) to the radial width L0 of the thrust race 101a (101b) can be increased.
- the thrust race 101a (101b) shown in FIG. 17 also has chamfered portions 106 at both ends in the radial direction of the surface on the other side (lower side in FIG. 17) in the axial direction.
- a thrust race having a conventional structure is manufactured through the steps shown in FIG. First, an annular plate-shaped blank is punched out from a metal plate by a punching process using a press. Next, the surface of the blank is made smooth by a grinding process (surface grinding), and the dimensions of each part of the blank are adjusted by a turning process. Specifically, shear drops that occur on the inner peripheral edge and outer peripheral edge of the front surface of the blank in the punching direction, and shear drops that occur on the inner peripheral edge and the outer peripheral edge of the rear surface of the blank in the punching direction Remove any burrs and chamfer the four corners of the blank. Next, after heat treatment, deformation such as undulation caused by the heat treatment is removed by a grinding process. Then, after the barrel finishing process, the final inspection and packaging processes are performed.
- a grinding process surface grinding
- a thrust race of conventional structure is a type of press-formed product. It consists of a chamfered part. For this reason, depending on the operating conditions of the thrust roller bearing, the contact surface pressure (edge stress) acting on both ends in the radial direction of the thrust raceway surface may become excessive, resulting in a reduction in bearing life.
- the present inventors have repeatedly studied a method for reducing the sagging caused by punching by a method other than removal processing such as grinding, and the following first method to second method using press processing (shearing) 3 method was examined.
- the first method is to reduce the clearance between the punch used during punching and the die. According to the first method, sag caused by punching can be suppressed. However, since the first method requires a large press load, there arises a problem that the life of the mold is shortened and a problem that a secondary shear surface is generated in the blank.
- the second method is to cut off the cut edges (inner and outer peripheral surfaces) of the blank produced by punching multiple times by shaving. According to the second method, the sag caused by punching can be reduced. However, the second method has the problem that the number of steps is increased, and the thread-like shavings are generated, and the thrust race, which is the product, is likely to be dented.
- the third method is a method of punching in a state in which the ductility of the material is improved by fine blanking or semi-fine blanking. According to the third method, the sheared surface can be improved, but the effect of suppressing the sag caused by punching is small. In addition, the third method causes a problem that the blank tends to be curved and a problem that dedicated equipment is required.
- Both the first method and the second method using shearing can reduce the sagging caused by punching, but they pose another problem, making it difficult to adopt.
- the third method cannot sufficiently reduce the sag caused by the punching process.

Abstract
Description
本願は、2021年1月26日に出願された特願2021-010178号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
先ず、プレスによる打ち抜き工程により、金属板から円環平板状のブランクを打ち抜く。次いで、研削工程(平面研削)により、ブランクの表面を平滑にし、旋削工程により、ブランクの各部の寸法を調整する。具体的には、ブランクの打ち抜き方向前方側の面の内周縁部及び外周縁部に生じたダレ(shear drop)、並びに、ブランクの打ち抜き方向後方側の面の内周縁部及び外周縁部に生じたバリなどを除去し、ブランクの4つの角部に面取りを形成する。次いで、熱処理を施した後、研削工程により、熱処理によって生じるうねりなどの変形を取り除く。そして、バレル仕上工程を経て、最後に検査及び包装工程を行う。
第1実施形態について、図1~図9を用いて説明する。
本実施形態において、スラストころ軸受1は、転がり軸受の一種であり、斜板式コンプレッサや自動車用変速機などに組み込まれる。スラストころ軸受1は、図1の(A)部及び(B)部に示すように、1対のスラストレース2a、2bと、複数本のころ3と、保持器4とを備える。なお、図1(B)には、一方のスラストレース2bを省略して示している。ただし、回転軸などの回転部材にスラスト軌道面を直接形成する場合には、本発明のスラストころ軸受は、1枚のスラストレースと、複数本のころと、保持器とから構成することができる。
本例のスラストレース2aは、プレス成形品であり、図2に示すように、略矩形状の断面形状を有している。スラストレース2aは、スラストレース2bと対向する軸方向一方側(図2の上側)に、円輪状の第1面7を有し、軸方向他方側(図2の下側)に、円輪状の第2面8を有する。なお、スラストレース2aの軸方向は、スラストレース2aの板厚方向と一致する。スラストレース2aは、第1面7と、第1面7の反対側の面である第2面8と、第1面7と第2面8とを接続する側面49A、49Bと、第1面7と側面49A、49Bとの角の近傍において、プレス加工の痕跡である、第1面7の縁部に形成された第1ダレ9、10と、第2面8と側面49A、49Bとの角の近傍において、別のプレス加工の痕跡である、第2面8の縁部に形成された第2ダレ12、13と、を備える。一例において、面49Aは、第1ダレ10につながったせん断面と、第2ダレ13につながった別のせん断面とを有する。また、面49Bは、第1ダレ9につながったせん断面と、第2ダレ12につながった別のせん断面とを有する。第1ダレ9、10は、第1のプレス加工で形成されたダレの一部が第2のプレス加工によってトリミングされた追加痕跡を含む。追加痕跡は、ダレ9、10の表面観察、側面49A、49Bの表面観察、対象物の断面の観察、対象物の組成分析等に基づき確認可能である。
次に、スラストレース2aの製造方法の1例について、図3~図9を参照して、工程順に説明する。
本例では、素材(初期材料)として、鉄系合金製の金属板(鋼板)15を使用する。具体的には、金属板15は、たとえばSPCC、SPCE材などの冷間圧延鋼板(みがき鋼板)、機械構造用炭素鋼製の板材、クロムモリブデン鋼製の板材であり、焼き入れが可能であり、所望の硬さや表面平滑性などの機械的性質を有している。金属板15は、一定の厚さを有しており、かつ、高い平滑性を有する。金属板15の表面粗さは、後に実施するバレル仕上加工によってスラスト軌道面5a(5b)として使用可能となるように、一例において、Rmax≦2μm、好ましくは、Rmax≦1.5μmとしている。他の例において、Rmaxは別の値に設定できる。
本例では、プレスによる打ち抜き工程の後に、プレスによる潰し工程(コイニング工程)を行う。潰し工程は、図6及び図7に示すように、打ち抜き工程で得られた第1中間素材(第1ピース)19を、第2上型(プッシュパンチ、第1ダイ)25と第2下型(第2ダイ)26とにより軸方向に押し潰すことにより行う。
本例では、プレスによる潰し工程の後に、プレスによるトリミング工程を行う。トリミング工程は、図9に示すように、潰し工程で得られた第2中間素材(第2ピース)28を第3下型31上に載置し、図示しないストリッパにより第2中間素材28の軸方向一方側の面を押さえ付けた状態で、第3上型(第2パンチ)33により第2中間素材28を、円筒形状を有する第3ダイ孔31aに押し込むことにより行う。図示の例では、第3ダイ孔31aの内側に配置した第3ダイクッション31bにより、第2中間素材28の軸方向他方側の面を支持しながら行う。第3ダイ孔31aの内周縁部の直径は、第2中間素材28の小幅部30の内径とほぼ同じであり、第3ダイ孔31aの外周縁部の直径は、第2中間素材28の小幅部30の外径とほぼ同じである。プレス加工を用いた第2中間素材(第2ピース)のトリミングは、第2ピース28における第1部分51の縁部の少なくとも一部を除去することを含む。
トリミング工程により得られたスラストレース2aに、浸炭窒化焼き入れ処理又は浸炭焼き入れ処理などの焼き入れ処理、及び、焼き戻し処理などの熱処理を行う。これにより、スラストレース2aの硬度をHv600~Hv800程度まで高くする。
バレル仕上工程では、熱処理後のスラストレース2aを、コンパウンド又はメディアとともに容器に入れ、該容器を回転又は振動させる。これにより、スラストレース2aの表面に生じた酸化スケールを除去する。また、バレル仕上工程により、スラストレース2aのバリ取りを行えるとともに、表面粗さを改善することもできる。
バレル仕上工程の後は、スラストレース2aの寸法検査や外観検査などを行う。そして、検査に合格したスラストレース2aを包装し、完成品のスラストレース2aを得る。
すなわち、本例では、スラスト軌道面5a(5b)として使用する第1平坦部11の径方向両側に、従来構造のスラストレースにおいて備えられていた面取り部よりも母線形状の傾斜が緩やかな(軸方向の落ち込み量の小さい)、第1内周側ダレ9及び第1外周側ダレ10をそれぞれ有している。このため、スラストころ軸受1の運転状況が厳しくなった場合にも、スラスト軌道面5a(5b)の径方向両側の端部に作用する接触面圧(エッジ応力)が過大になることを抑制できる。この結果、スラストころ軸受1の軸受寿命の低下を抑制できる。
すなわち、本例では、打ち抜き工程で生じた第1内周側ダレ20及び第1外周側ダレ21のそれぞれを、一部分(第1内周側ダレ20の径方向外側部分、第1外周側ダレ21の径方向内側部分)を残して、プレスによるトリミング工程により除去することができる。このため、打ち抜き工によって生じたダレ(第1内周側ダレ20及び第1外周側ダレ21)を、研削加工などの除去加工を行うことなく小さくできる。したがって、スラストレース2aの歩留まりを向上することができる。また、除去加工を行う必要がないため、スラストレース2aの加工コストを抑えることができる。
実施の形態の第2例について、図10~図15を用いて説明する。
パイロット孔形成工程ST1は、金属板36の幅方向両側の端部に、1対のパイロット孔37を穿孔する工程である。パイロット孔37には、各加工ステージにおいて、図示しないパイロットピンが挿入され、金属板36の正確な位置決めがなされる。
外周側ダレ形成工程ST2は、金属板36のうち、1対のパイロット孔37同士の間部分に、金属板36の長さ方向に関して互いに反対方向を向いた2つのC字状の円弧溝38a、38bを連続させてなる、アワーグラス39を打ち抜く(トリム加工する)工程である。2つの円弧溝38a、38bのそれぞれの内周縁部は、スラストレース2aの外径の半分よりもわずかに大きい曲率半径を有する。
なお、金属板36の一方側の面とは、金属板36の板厚方向に関して一方側に位置する面を指し、金属板36の他方側の面とは、金属板36の板厚方向に関して他方側に位置する面を指す。
ランス抜き工程ST3は、金属板36の長さ方向に隣接した1対のパイロット孔37同士の間部分で、かつ、つなぎ部41の近傍に、円弧状のスリット(捨て穴)であるランス42を打ち抜く(トリム加工する)工程である。ランス42は、後に実施する外周側潰し工程ST5で、金属板36の送りピッチと順送金型の中心(加工ステージの中心)とがずれるのを防止する役割を有する。外周側潰し工程において、金属板36の送りピッチと順送金型の中心とのずれを防止できれば、ランス抜き工程は省略することもできる。
内周側ダレ形成工程ST4は、金属板36の長さ方向に関して隣接して配置された1対のアワーグラス39(円弧溝39a、39b)同士の間部分に、円孔(センター孔)43を穿孔する工程である。円孔43の直径は、スラストレース2aの内径よりもわずかに小さい。

内周側潰し工程ST6は、金属板36の他方側の面のうちで、金属板36の板厚方向に関して内周側ダレ44と整合する部分を含む円環状部分を、金属板36の板厚方向に押し潰して、図15に示すような、内周側環状凹溝47を形成する工程である。具体的には、金属板36の他方側の面のうちで、内周側ダレ44の径方向内側部分から径方向中間部にわたる範囲と、金属板36の板厚方向に整合する部分を押し潰す。また、本例では、金属板36の一方側の面を押圧する図示しない上型の押圧面を、内周側ダレ44の母線形状に合致した母線形状を有するものとし、内周側ダレ44を拘束して潰し加工を行う。
内周側トリミング工程ST7は、金属板36のうちで、金属板36の板厚方向に関して内周側環状凹溝47と整合する部分(図15の斜格子模様部分)を、円環状のスクラップとして除去する工程である。これにより、内周側ダレ44は、径方向内側部から径方向中間部にわたる範囲が除去されることで径方向外側部分のみが残り、第1内周側ダレ9となる。
外周側トリミング工程ST8は、金属板36のうちで、金属板36の板厚方向に関して外周側環状凹溝45と整合する部分(図14の斜格子模様部分)を、円環状のスクラップとして除去する工程である。これにより、外周側ダレ40は、径方向外側部から径方向中間部にわたる範囲が除去されることで径方向内側部分のみが残り、第1外周側ダレ10となる。また、第1外周側ダレ10と第1内周側ダレ9との間部分には、金属板36の一方側の面から構成される、直線状の母線形状を有し、かつ、平坦面状の第1平坦部11が形成される。この結果、軸方向一方側の面が、第1内周側ダレ9と第1外周側ダレ10と第1平坦部11とから構成され、軸方向他方側の面が、第2内周側ダレ12と第2外周側ダレ13と第2平坦部14とから構成された、スラストレース2aが、金属板36から切り離される。スラストレース2aは、第1面7と、第1面7の反対側の面である第2面8と、第1面7と第2面8とを接続する側面49A、49Bと、第1面7と側面49A、49Bとの角の近傍において、プレス加工の痕跡である、第1面7の縁部に形成された第1ダレ9、10と、第2面8と側面49A、49Bとの角の近傍において、別のプレス加工の痕跡である、第2面8の縁部に形成された第2ダレ12、13と、を備える。一例において、面49Aは、第1ダレ10につながったせん断面と、第2ダレ13につながった別のせん断面とを有する。また、面49Bは、第1ダレ9につながったせん断面と、第2ダレ12につながった別のせん断面とを有する。第1ダレ9、10は、第1のプレス加工で形成されたダレの一部が第2のプレス加工によってトリミングされた追加痕跡を含む。追加痕跡は、ダレ9、10の表面観察、側面49A、49Bの表面観察、対象物の断面の観察、対象物の組成分析等に基づき確認可能である。
