第1実施形態について、図1~図15を参照しつつ以下に説明する。なお、各図において符号CLを示したものは、緩衝器の中心軸線を示す。他の実施形態及び変形例についても同様である。
区画部36は、有孔円板状である。区画部36には、大径外径部32の軸方向における小径外径部31側の部分と小径外径部31とが形成されている。
ロッド50は、主軸部51と取付軸部52とを有している。
取付軸部52は、その外径が主軸部51の外径よりも小径である。取付軸部52は、主軸部51の軸方向の一端に設けられている。
ディスクバルブ57は、円環状であり、ピストン45の軸方向における底部22とは反対側に設けられている。ディスクバルブ57は、ピストン45に当接することで通路55を閉塞する。通路55は、第2室49に常時開口している。
ディスクバルブ57,58は、ピストン45とともにロッド50の取付軸部52に連結されている。
ディスクバルブ65は、バルブボディ25の軸方向における底部22側に設けられている。ディスクバルブ65は、円環状であり、バルブボディ25に当接することで通路61を閉塞する。
ピン部材68は、ディスクバルブ65,66をバルブボディ25に連結して一体化する。
本体部83は、有孔の円板状である。本体部83には、内周面81の軸方向の中間部分が配置されている。
固定シート部84は、内周面81を内周面81の径方向における外側で囲む円環状である。固定シート部84は、本体部83から本体部83の軸方向に沿って脚部37とは反対側に突出している。
バルブボディ25の軸方向において、固定シート部84、内側シート部85および外側シート部86は、互いに突出先端面の高さ位置を合わせている。
固定シート部88は、内周面81を内周面81の径方向における外側で囲む円環状である。固定シート部88は、本体部83から本体部83の軸方向に沿って固定シート部84とは反対側に突出している。
バルブボディ25の軸方向において、シート部89は、突出先端面の高さ位置が、固定シート部88の突出先端面の高さ位置よりも若干高くなっている。
バルブボディ25の径方向において、通路61は、内周面81と通路62との間にある。
ディスクバルブ65は、複数枚、具体的には2枚の同形状のディスク105からなっている。ディスク101、抑制ディスク102および複数枚のディスク105は、いずれも金属製であり、いずれも有孔の円形平板状すなわちディスク状である。
軸部161aは円柱状である。
軸部161aは、その外周面171aが円筒面である。
クランプ工程では、図6に示すように、カシメ装置の載置台191にピン部材68aを、鍔部162の端面166を当接させて載置させる。そして、カシメ装置の鉤型の複数のクランプ部材192をバルブボディ25の径方向外側から小径外径部31および大径外径部32に同時に当接させる。複数のクランプ部材192は、バルブボディ25の大径外径部32および小径外径部31の間の段部35に係合する鉤型である。そして、カシメ装置が、これら複数のクランプ部材192を下方に引いて、バルブボディ25、複数枚のディスク105、ディスク101、抑制ディスク102およびピン部材68aの鍔部162を載置台191にクランプする。この状態がカシメ装置のクランプ状態である。
残留軸力付与工程では、カシメ装置の円筒状の軸力付与部材193で、ワッシャ113aの軸方向におけるバルブボディ25とは反対側の端面をバルブボディ25側に加圧する。これにより、鍔部162、抑制ディスク102、ディスク101、複数枚のディスク105、バルブボディ25、ディスクバルブ66、ディスク111およびワッシャ113aが、載置台191と軸力付与部材193とで軸方向にクランプされる。言い換えれば、カシメ装置が、抑制ディスク102、ディスク101、複数枚のディスク105、バルブボディ25、ディスクバルブ66、ディスク111およびワッシャ113aに残留軸力を与える。この状態がカシメ装置の残留軸力付与状態である。ピン部材68aの軸部161aは、軸部161aの軸方向における位置をワッシャ113aと合わせてワッシャ113aと径方向に対向する部分が対向部185aとなる。
図3~図6に示すワッシャ113aの押圧面151aのそれぞれが、押圧工程によって図2に示すワッシャ113の押圧面151となる。
図6に示すピン部材68aは、その軸方向の位置をワッシャ113aと合わせて径方向に対向する対向部185aが、押圧工程によってワッシャ113aで押圧され径方向内方に塑性変形して図7に示す対向部185bとなる。対向部185bは、押圧工程によって、軸部161bの軸方向における中心部である凹底面182の径がワッシャ113の小径部141によって一番小さくなり、その軸方向両側の径がワッシャ113の大径部142,143によって、小径部141よりも拡大するように変形する。
カシメ工程では、カシメ装置が図示略のポンチで、ピン部材68bのワッシャ113よりも突出する先端部を軸方向に沿って載置台191側すなわち鍔部162側に加圧してかしめることにより、図2に示す円板状のカシメ部163を形成する。すなわち、カシメ工程では、図7に示す軸部161bの軸方向における図5および図6に示す鍔部162とは反対側の先端部を軸方向に塑性変形させることにより径方向外方に拡げて、図2に示すカシメ部163とする。その結果、図7に示すピン部材68bが、図2に示すピン部材68となる。カシメ工程では、カシメ部163に、ワッシャ113の軸方向のカシメ部163側の端面の形状に倣って平面状をなす当接面部178が形成される。
押板部187は、平板状であり、当接面部178を有している。
余肉部188は、当接面部178の径方向内側から大径部142側に突出して大径部142に当接している。余肉部188は、図7に示す軸部161bが、カシメ工程によってワッシャ113の大径部142との隙間を埋めるように突出することで形成される。
ピン部材68は、軸部161が、抑制ディスク102の内周面123、ディスク101の内周面122、複数枚のディスク105のそれぞれの内周面121、バルブボディ25の内周面81、ディスクバルブ66の内周面131、ディスク111の内周面132およびワッシャ113の内周面133のそれぞれの径方向内側に配置されている。言い換えれば、ピン部材68が、抑制ディスク102、ディスク101、複数枚のディスク105、バルブボディ25の区画部36、ディスクバルブ66およびディスク111の内周に配置されている。なお、このとき、バルブボディ25は、区画部36から脚部37が軸方向のカシメ部163とは反対側に突出する向きとされている。
変形例1では、図6に示す鉤型の複数のクランプ部材192に代えて、図9および図10に示すように、バルブボディ25の軸方向に沿って移動して上側から段部35に当接する矩形板状の複数のクランプ部材192Aを用いる。そして、カシメ装置が、複数のクランプ部材192Aを上から押して、バルブボディ25、複数枚のディスク105、ディスク101、抑制ディスク102およびピン部材68aの鍔部162を載置台191にクランプする。複数のクランプ部材192Aには、押圧部194を押圧する図示略の治具を挿通させる挿通孔201が形成されている。本変形例1においても、組み立て後には、上記第1実施形態と同じボデーバルブ30が得られる。
本変形例2では、ワッシャ113aに代えて、図11および図12に示すワッシャ113Baを用いる。
変形例3では、ワッシャ113aに代えて、図13および図14に示すワッシャ113Caを用いる。
変形例4では、ワッシャ113aに代えて、図15に示すワッシャ113Daを用いる。
大径部142Daは、小径部141Daから、拡径しつつ、ワッシャ113Daの厚さ方向の一側に離れるように広がっている。大径部142Daは、曲面である。
大径部143Daは、小径部141Daから、拡径しつつ、ワッシャ113Daの厚さ方向の他側に離れるように広がっている。大径部143Daは、曲面である。
次に、第2実施形態について、主に図16および図17に基づいて、上記第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、上記第1実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
本第2実施形態においては、図16に示すように、緩衝器11Eがボデーバルブ30とは一部異なるボデーバルブ30Eを有している。
バネディスク251は、金属製である。バネディスク251は、基板部252と、バネ板部253とを有している。
基板部252の内周面255は、バネディスク251の内周面である。この内周面255の径は、バルブボディ25の内周面81の径と同等になっている。
バネ板部253は、基板部252の外周部から基板部252の径方向外側に延出している。バネ板部253は、基板部252から基板部252の径方向に離れるほど、基板部252から基板部252の軸方向に離れる。
ワッシャ113Eは、金属製であり、有孔の円形板状すなわちディスク状である。
ワッシャ113Eは、基板部261と、外周板部262とを有している。
残留軸力付与工程では、カシメ装置の載置台191にピン部材68aを鍔部162の端面166において載置させる。この状態で、カシメ装置の円筒状の軸力付与部材193で、ワッシャ113Eaの基板部261の軸方向におけるバルブボディ25とは反対側の端面をバルブボディ25側に加圧する。これにより、鍔部162、抑制ディスク102、ディスク101、複数枚のディスク105、バルブボディ25、ディスクバルブ66、ディスク111、バネディスク251およびワッシャ113Eaが、載置台191と軸力付与部材193とで軸方向にクランプされる。これにより、抑制ディスク102、ディスク101、複数枚のディスク105、バルブボディ25、ディスクバルブ66、ディスク111、バネディスク251およびワッシャ113に残留軸力を与える。この状態がカシメ装置の残留軸力付与状態である。
押圧工程では、カシメ装置の4箇所の押圧部が、第1実施形態と同様に、ワッシャ113Eaを、ピン部材68aの軸部161aに向けて径方向の内方に押圧してワッシャ113Eaおよび軸部161aを径方向内方に塑性変形させる。これにより、ワッシャ113Eaがワッシャ113Eとなり、ピン部材68aがピン部材68bとなる
カシメ工程では、カシメ装置が図示略のポンチで、ピン部材68bのワッシャ113Eよりも突出する先端部を軸方向に沿って載置台191側すなわち鍔部162側に加圧してかしめることで、図16に示す円板状のカシメ部163を形成する。
以上のようにして、図17に示すピン部材68aを、図16に示すピン部材68とする。
また、組み上がった状態のボデーバルブ30Eは、ピン部材68の軸部161が、第1実施形態と同様の形状になる。
