Description

本発明は、車輪用軸受装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a wheel bearing device.

自動車の車輪を支持する車輪用軸受装置には、複列の軌道面を内径側に有する外方部材と、この外方部材の各軌道面と対向する複列の軌道面を外径側に有する内方部材と、これらの外方部材と内方部材の間の軸受空間に複列に配列された転動体とからなるものがあり、外方部材と内方部材のうちのいずれか一方が車体側に取り付けられる固定部材、他方が車輪側に取り付けられる回転部材とされている。このような車輪用軸受装置では、外方部材と内方部材の間の軸受空間に泥水等が浸入しないように、軸受空間の一端側または両端側が密封手段で密封される。なお、軸受空間の一端側のみを密封手段で密封したものでは、他端側は軸受部の外方でキャップ等によって密封される。   A wheel bearing device for supporting a wheel of an automobile has an outer member having a double row raceway surface on the inner diameter side, and a double row raceway surface facing each raceway surface on the outer member on the outer diameter side. There is an inner member and rolling elements arranged in a double row in a bearing space between the outer member and the inner member, and one of the outer member and the inner member is a vehicle body. The fixing member attached to the side is the rotating member attached to the wheel side. In such a wheel bearing device, one end side or both end sides of the bearing space are sealed by a sealing means so that muddy water or the like does not enter the bearing space between the outer member and the inner member. In the case where only one end side of the bearing space is sealed by the sealing means, the other end side is sealed by a cap or the like outside the bearing portion.

また近年では、自動車の走行安定性を向上させるために、ＡＢＳ（Antilock Brake System）等が組み込まれることが多く、その制御のための車輪の回転を検出する回転センサが車輪用軸受装置に装着されている。このような回転センサを装着した車輪用軸受装置には、軸受空間の一端側を密封する密封手段を、固定部材側に装着され、複数のシールリップを有するシール部材と、回転部材側に装着され、シール部材との間に環状隙間を先端で形成する円環部を有するスリンガとからなり、シールリップの少なくとも１つを、スリンガの円環部の内面側に接触させるものとし、円周方向で複数の磁極に着磁された磁性ゴムをスリンガの円環部の外面側に取り付けて、この円環部の外面側に取り付けた磁性ゴムを回転センサの磁気エンコーダとしたものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   In recent years, ABS (Antilock Brake System) or the like is often incorporated in order to improve the running stability of a car, and a rotation sensor for detecting the rotation of the wheel for the control is mounted on the wheel bearing device. ing. In such a wheel bearing device equipped with a rotation sensor, a sealing means for sealing one end side of the bearing space is mounted on the fixed member side, and a sealing member having a plurality of seal lips and mounted on the rotating member side. , And a slinger having an annular portion that forms an annular gap at the tip with the seal member, and at least one of the seal lips is brought into contact with the inner surface side of the annular portion of the slinger, and in the circumferential direction A magnetic rubber magnetized to a plurality of magnetic poles is attached to the outer surface side of the ring portion of the slinger, and the magnetic rubber attached to the outer surface side of the annular portion is used as a magnetic encoder of a rotation sensor (for example, patents) Reference 1).

特開２００４−６０７５１号公報（第６図）Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-60751 (FIG. 6)

特許文献１に記載されたような回転センサを装着した車輪用軸受装置では、外部に飛散する泥水等が、スリンガの円環部である程度遮断され、円環部の先端とシール部材との間の環状隙間から浸入する泥水等が、円環部の内面側等に接触されるシールリップで遮断される。この泥水等を遮断するためのシールリップの個数や形態は種々工夫されているが、環状隙間から浸入する特に泥水は完全な遮断が難しく、一部が軸受空間に浸入する。   In the wheel bearing device equipped with the rotation sensor as described in Patent Document 1, muddy water or the like scattered outside is blocked to some extent by the ring portion of the slinger, and between the tip of the ring portion and the seal member. Muddy water or the like entering from the annular gap is blocked by a seal lip that comes into contact with the inner surface of the annular portion. The number and form of the seal lips for blocking the muddy water and the like are variously devised. However, it is difficult to completely block muddy water entering from the annular gap, and a part of the seal lip enters the bearing space.

このため、車輪用軸受装置の軸受寿命は、通常の軸受における転動疲労寿命よりも、軸受空間に浸入する泥水に起因する不良現象、すなわち、泥分の噛み込みによる疵の発生や、水分による錆の発生等で尽きることが多い。この傾向は、市場回収品の調査によっても確認されている。   For this reason, the bearing life of the wheel bearing device is not due to the rolling fatigue life of a normal bearing, but due to the defective phenomenon caused by the muddy water entering the bearing space, that is, the occurrence of flaws due to the biting of mud, Often exhausted due to rust. This trend has also been confirmed by a survey of market collections.

そこで、本発明の課題は、回転センサを装着した車輪用軸受装置で、軸受空間への泥水の浸入を効果的に防止して、軸受寿命を延長することである。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to effectively prevent muddy water from entering a bearing space and extend the bearing life in a wheel bearing device equipped with a rotation sensor.

上記の課題を解決するために、本発明は、複列の軌道面を内径側に有する外方部材と、この外方部材の各軌道面と対向する複列の軌道面を外径側に有する内方部材と、これらの外方部材と内方部材の間の軸受空間に複列に配列された転動体とからなり、前記外方部材と内方部材のうちのいずれか一方を車体側に取り付けられる固定部材、他方を車輪側に取り付けられる回転部材とし、前記外方部材と内方部材の間の軸受空間の一端側を、前記固定部材側に装着され、複数のシールリップを有するシール部材と、前記回転部材側に装着され、前記シール部材との間に環状隙間を先端で形成する円環部を有するスリンガとからなり、前記シールリップの少なくとも１つを、前記スリンガの円環部の内面側に接触させる密封手段で密封し、このスリンガの円環部の外面側に、円周方向で複数の磁極に着磁された磁性ゴムを取り付けた車輪用軸受装置において、前記スリンガの円環部の外面側に取り付けられた磁性ゴムを、前記環状隙間を形成する円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませ、この円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませた磁性ゴムと前記シール部材との間に、前記環状隙間と屈曲するように連なるラビリンス隙間を形成した構成を採用した。   In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has an outer member having a double row raceway surface on the inner diameter side and a double row raceway surface facing each raceway surface on the outer member on the outer diameter side. An inner member and rolling elements arranged in a double row in a bearing space between the outer member and the inner member, and one of the outer member and the inner member is disposed on the vehicle body side. A fixing member to be attached, the other is a rotating member attached to the wheel side, and one end side of a bearing space between the outer member and the inner member is attached to the fixing member side and has a plurality of seal lips And a slinger that is mounted on the rotating member side and has a ring portion that forms an annular gap at the tip with the seal member, and at least one of the seal lips is connected to the ring portion of the slinger. Seal with sealing means to contact the inner surface, and In a wheel bearing device in which magnetic rubber magnetized by a plurality of magnetic poles in the circumferential direction is attached to the outer surface side of the annular portion of the rubber, the magnetic rubber attached to the outer surface side of the annular portion of the slinger is The annular gap is formed so as to bend toward the inner surface from the tip of the annular portion that forms the annular gap, and bends with the annular gap between the magnetic rubber and the seal member that is led to the inner surface from the tip of the annular portion. A configuration in which continuous labyrinth gaps were formed was adopted.

すなわち、スリンガの円環部の外面側に取り付けられた磁性ゴムを、環状隙間を形成する円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませ、この円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませた磁性ゴムとシール部材との間に、環状隙間と屈曲するように連なるラビリンス隙間を形成することにより、軸受空間への泥水の浸入を効果的に防止して、軸受寿命を延長できるようにした。   That is, the magnetic rubber attached to the outer surface side of the annular portion of the slinger is made to wrap around from the tip of the annular portion forming the annular gap to the inner surface side, and then wraps around from the tip of the annular portion to the inner surface side. By forming a labyrinth gap that bends between the annular gap and the annular gap, it is possible to effectively prevent muddy water from entering the bearing space and extend the bearing life.

前記スリンガの円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませた磁性ゴムを軸方向内方に延長し、前記シール部材との間に形成される環状隙間の軸方向長さを長くすることにより、軸受空間への泥水の浸入をより効果的に防止して、軸受寿命をさらに延長することができる。   By extending magnetic rubber wrapping around from the tip of the annular portion of the slinger to the inner surface side in the axial direction and increasing the axial length of the annular gap formed between the seal member and the bearing, The infiltration of muddy water into the space can be more effectively prevented, and the bearing life can be further extended.

本発明の車輪用軸受装置は、スリンガの円環部の外面側に取り付けられた磁性ゴムを、環状隙間を形成する円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませ、この円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませた磁性ゴムとシール部材との間に、環状隙間と屈曲するように連なるラビリンス隙間を形成したので、軸受空間への泥水の浸入を効果的に防止して、軸受寿命を延長することができる。   In the wheel bearing device of the present invention, the magnetic rubber attached to the outer surface side of the annular portion of the slinger is caused to wrap around from the tip of the annular portion forming the annular gap to the inner surface side, and from the tip of the annular portion to the inner surface. A labyrinth gap is formed between the magnetic rubber wrapping around and the sealing member so as to bend the ring gap, effectively preventing muddy water from entering the bearing space and extending the bearing life. be able to.

前記スリンガの円環部の先端から内面側に回り込ませた磁性ゴムを軸方向内方に延長し、シール部材との間に形成される環状隙間の軸方向長さを長くすることにより、軸受空間への泥水の浸入をより効果的に防止して、軸受寿命をさらに延長することができる。   A bearing space is formed by extending a magnetic rubber wound around the inner surface side from the tip of the annular portion of the slinger inward in the axial direction and increasing the axial length of the annular gap formed between the sealing member and the seal member. It is possible to more effectively prevent the intrusion of muddy water into the bearing and further extend the bearing life.

以下、図面に基づき、本発明の実施形態を説明する。図１および図２は、第１の実施形態を示す。この車輪用軸受装置は、図１に示すように、複列の軌道面２ａ、２ｂを内径側に有する外方部材１と、外方部材１の各軌道面２ａ、２ｂと対向する複列の軌道面４ａ、４ｂを外径側に有する内方部材３と、これらの外方部材１と内方部材３の間の軸受空間に複列に配列され、保持器５で保持された転動体としてのボール６とからなり、外方部材１がフランジ７で車体側に取り付けられる固定部材とされ、内方部材３が内径面の車軸孔８で等速ジョイントまたは車軸に取り付けられる回転部材とされて、内方部材３に設けられたフランジ９に車輪がハブボルト１０で取り付けられるようになっている。なお、内方部材３のインボード側の軌道面４ｂは、内方部材３に外嵌固定された別体の内輪３ａの外径面に設けられている。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the wheel bearing device includes an outer member 1 having double-row raceway surfaces 2 a and 2 b on the inner diameter side, and double-row facing each raceway surface 2 a and 2 b of the outer member 1. As an inner member 3 having raceway surfaces 4a and 4b on the outer diameter side, and rolling elements arranged in a double row in a bearing space between the outer member 1 and the inner member 3 and held by the cage 5 The outer member 1 is a fixed member attached to the vehicle body side by a flange 7, and the inner member 3 is a constant velocity joint or a rotating member attached to the axle by an axle hole 8 on the inner diameter surface. A wheel is attached to a flange 9 provided on the inner member 3 with a hub bolt 10. The track surface 4 b on the inboard side of the inner member 3 is provided on the outer diameter surface of a separate inner ring 3 a that is externally fitted and fixed to the inner member 3.

また、前記外方部材１と内方部材３の間の軸受空間のアウトボード側は、外方部材１側に装着されたシール部材１１で密封され、軸受空間のインボード側は、外方部材１側に装着されたシール部材１２と内方部材３側の内輪３ａに装着されたスリンガ１５とからなる密封手段によって密封されている。   Further, the outboard side of the bearing space between the outer member 1 and the inner member 3 is sealed with a seal member 11 mounted on the outer member 1 side, and the inboard side of the bearing space is the outer member. It is sealed by a sealing means comprising a seal member 12 mounted on one side and a slinger 15 mounted on an inner ring 3a on the inner member 3 side.

図２に示すように、前記密封手段のシール部材１２は、外方部材１の内径面端部に内嵌される芯金１３と、芯金１３に加硫接着されたゴム部材１４とからなり、このゴム部材１４に、後述するスリンガ１５の円環部１５ｂの内側面に接触する２つのシールリップ１４ａと、スリンガ１５の円筒部１５ａの外径面に接触する１つのシールリップ１４ｂとが形成されている。また、スリンガ１５は、内輪３ａの外径面端部に外嵌される円筒部１５ａと、円筒部１５ａの端から立ち上がり、先端がシール部材１２のゴム部材１４との間に環状隙間１６を形成する円環部１５ｂとからなり、円環部１５ｂの外側面に、回転センサの磁気エンコーダとなり、円周方向で複数の磁極に着磁された磁性ゴム１７が、加硫接着で取り付けられている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the sealing member 12 of the sealing means includes a cored bar 13 fitted into the inner surface end of the outer member 1 and a rubber member 14 vulcanized and bonded to the cored bar 13. The rubber member 14 is formed with two seal lips 14a that contact an inner surface of an annular portion 15b of a slinger 15 to be described later, and one seal lip 14b that contacts an outer diameter surface of a cylindrical portion 15a of the slinger 15. Has been. The slinger 15 rises from the end of the cylindrical portion 15a and the cylindrical portion 15a fitted on the outer diameter surface end portion of the inner ring 3a, and forms an annular gap 16 between the tip and the rubber member 14 of the seal member 12. A magnetic rubber 17 magnetized by a plurality of magnetic poles in the circumferential direction is attached to the outer surface of the annular portion 15b by a vulcanization adhesion. .

前記スリンガ１５の円環部１５ｂの外側面に加硫接着された磁性ゴム１７は、円環部１５ｂの先端から内面側に回り込むように形成され、シール部材１２のゴム部材１４に、この内面側に回り込んだ磁性ゴム１７と軸方向で接近する立壁部１８ａが形成されて、この立壁部１８ａと磁性ゴム１７との間に、環状隙間１６と屈曲するように連なるラビリンス隙間１９が形成されている。したがって、外部に飛散する泥水の軸受空間への浸入が効果的に防止される。   The magnetic rubber 17 vulcanized and bonded to the outer surface of the annular portion 15b of the slinger 15 is formed so as to go around from the tip of the annular portion 15b to the inner surface side. A standing wall portion 18a approaching in the axial direction with the magnetic rubber 17 wrapping around is formed, and a labyrinth gap 19 is formed between the standing wall portion 18a and the magnetic rubber 17 so as to bend with the annular gap 16. Yes. Therefore, intrusion of muddy water scattered outside into the bearing space is effectively prevented.

図３（ａ）、（ｂ）は、それぞれ前記シール部材１２の変形例を示す。図３（ａ）の変形例は、シール部材１２のゴム部材１４に、スリンガ１５の円環部１５ｂの内側面に接触する１つのシールリップ１４ａと、スリンガ１５の円筒部１５ａの外径面に接触する２つのシールリップ１４ｂとが形成されている。また、図３（ｂ）の変形例は、図３（ａ）の変形例における円筒部１５ａの外径面に接触する２つのシールリップ１４ｂのうちの軸受内側のシールリップ１４ｃが、円筒部１５ａの外径面との間にわずかな隙間を開けた非接触のものとされ、軸受空間に封入された粘度の高いグリースの漏れを防止しつつ、回転トルクを低減することができる。また、気体の漏れは許容するようになっているため、軸受空間の空気が温度上昇で膨張しても、この膨張した空気の圧力で、シールリップ１４ｃがスリンガ１５の円筒部１５ａの外径面に押圧されることはない。   3A and 3B show modifications of the seal member 12, respectively. 3A, the rubber member 14 of the seal member 12 has a seal lip 14a that contacts the inner surface of the annular portion 15b of the slinger 15, and an outer diameter surface of the cylindrical portion 15a of the slinger 15. Two seal lips 14b that come into contact with each other are formed. Further, in the modification of FIG. 3B, the seal lip 14c on the bearing inner side of the two seal lips 14b contacting the outer diameter surface of the cylinder 15a in the modification of FIG. Thus, the rotational torque can be reduced while preventing leakage of the high-viscosity grease enclosed in the bearing space. Further, since gas leakage is allowed, even if the air in the bearing space expands due to a temperature rise, the outer diameter surface of the cylindrical portion 15a of the slinger 15 is caused by the pressure of the expanded air. It is not pressed by.

図４は、第２の実施形態の車輪用軸受装置における前記軸受空間のインボード側の密封手段を示す。この密封手段は、基本的な構成は第１の実施形態のものと同じであり、前記スリンガ１５の円環部１５ｂの外側面に加硫接着された磁性ゴム１７における、円環部１５ｂの先端から内面側に回り込むように形成された部分が軸方向内方へ延長され、シール部材１２のゴム部材１４との間に形成された環状隙間１６の軸方向長さが延長されるとともに、シール部材１２のゴム部材１４に、この軸方向内方へ延長された磁性ゴム１７の先端と軸方向で接近する凹部１８ｂが形成されて、この凹部１８ｂと磁性ゴム１７の先端との間に、延長された環状隙間１６と屈曲するように連なるラビリンス隙間１９が形成されている。したがって、外部に飛散する泥水の軸受空間への浸入がより効果的に防止される。   FIG. 4 shows a sealing means on the inboard side of the bearing space in the wheel bearing device of the second embodiment. The sealing means has the same basic structure as that of the first embodiment, and the tip of the annular portion 15b in the magnetic rubber 17 vulcanized and bonded to the outer surface of the annular portion 15b of the slinger 15 is used. A portion formed so as to wrap around from the inner surface to the inner surface side extends inward in the axial direction, and the axial length of the annular gap 16 formed between the seal member 12 and the rubber member 14 is extended. The twelve rubber members 14 are formed with a recess 18b that approaches the tip of the magnetic rubber 17 that extends inward in the axial direction, and extends between the recess 18b and the tip of the magnetic rubber 17. A labyrinth gap 19 is formed so as to be bent with the annular gap 16. Therefore, intrusion of muddy water scattered outside into the bearing space is more effectively prevented.

上述した実施形態では、外方部材を車体側に取り付けられる固定部材とし、内方部材を車輪側に取り付けられる回転部材として、インボード側の軌道面を別体の内輪に設けたが、本発明に係る車輪用軸受装置は、外方部材を回転部材、内方部材を固定部材としたものにも適用でき、これらの形態も実施形態のものに限定されることはない。また、軸受空間密封手段におけるシール部材のシールリップの個数、形態やスリンガの形態も、実施形態のものに限定されることはない。   In the embodiment described above, the outer member is a fixed member attached to the vehicle body side, the inner member is a rotating member attached to the wheel side, and the track surface on the inboard side is provided on a separate inner ring.
