Description

本発明は、自動車等の車両の駆動車輪を支持する車輪用軸受装置、詳しくは、独立懸架式サスペンションに装着された駆動輪(FF車の前輪、FR車あるいはRR車の後輪、および4WD車の全輪)を懸架装置に対して回転自在に支持する車輪用軸受装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a wheel bearing device for supporting a drive wheel of a vehicle such as an automobile, and more particularly, to a drive wheel (an FF vehicle front wheel, an FR vehicle or an RR vehicle rear wheel, and a 4WD vehicle) mounted on an independent suspension. The present invention relates to a wheel bearing device that rotatably supports a suspension device.

自動車等の車両のエンジン動力を車輪に伝達する動力伝達装置は、エンジンから車輪へ動力を伝達すると共に、悪路走行時における車両のバウンドや車両の旋回時に生じる車輪からの径方向や軸方向変位、およびモーメント変位を許容する必要があるため、例えば、エンジン側と駆動車輪側との間に介装されるドライブシャフトの一端が摺動型の等速自在継手を介してディファレンシャルに連結され、他端が固定型の等速自在継手を含む車輪用軸受装置を介して駆動輪に連結されている。   A power transmission device that transmits engine power of a vehicle such as an automobile to a wheel transmits power from the engine to the wheel, and also causes radial or axial displacement from the wheel that occurs when the vehicle bounces or turns when traveling on a rough road. For example, one end of the drive shaft interposed between the engine side and the drive wheel side is connected to the differential through a sliding type constant velocity universal joint, and the like. The end is connected to the drive wheel via a wheel bearing device including a fixed type constant velocity universal joint.

この車輪用軸受装置として従来から種々の構造のものが提案されているが、例えば、図4に示すようなものが知られている。この車輪用軸受装置50は、ホイールWとブレーキロータBを一端部に装着するハブ輪51と、このハブ輪51を回転自在に支承する複列の転がり軸受52、およびハブ輪51に連結され、ドライブシャフト(図示せず)の動力をハブ輪51に伝達する固定型の等速自在継手53を備えている。   Various types of wheel bearing devices have been proposed in the past, and for example, those shown in FIG. 4 are known. The wheel bearing device 50 is connected to a hub wheel 51 on which one end of the wheel W and the brake rotor B is mounted, a double-row rolling bearing 52 that rotatably supports the hub wheel 51, and the hub wheel 51. A fixed type constant velocity universal joint 53 that transmits power of a drive shaft (not shown) to the hub wheel 51 is provided.

ハブ輪51は、一端部にホイールWおよびブレーキロータBを取り付けるための車輪取付フランジ54を一体に有し、この車輪取付フランジ54から軸方向に延びる円筒状の小径段部51aが形成されている。   The hub wheel 51 integrally has a wheel mounting flange 54 for mounting the wheel W and the brake rotor B at one end portion, and a cylindrical small-diameter step portion 51 a extending in the axial direction from the wheel mounting flange 54 is formed. .

複列の転がり軸受52は、懸架装置を構成するナックルNとハブ輪51の小径段部51a間に装着され、内周に複列の外側転走面55a、55aが形成された外輪55と、外周に複列の外側転走面55a、55aに対向する内側転走面56aが形成された一対の内輪56、56と、両転走面55a、56a間に保持器57を介して転動自在に収容された複列のボール58、58とを備えた複列のアンギュラ玉軸受からなる。   The double-row rolling bearing 52 is mounted between the knuckle N constituting the suspension device and the small-diameter step portion 51a of the hub wheel 51, and an outer ring 55 in which double-row outer rolling surfaces 55a and 55a are formed on the inner periphery, A pair of inner rings 56, 56 each having an inner rolling surface 56 a opposite to the outer circumferential rolling surfaces 55 a, 55 a in a double row on the outer periphery, and a cage 57 between both rolling surfaces 55 a, 56 a are freely rollable. And a double-row angular ball bearing having double-row balls 58 and 58 accommodated in the ball.

等速自在継手53は、カップ状のマウス部(図示せず)とこのマウス部の底部をなす肩部59と、この肩部59から軸方向に延びる軸部60とを一体に有する外側継手部材61を備えている。この外側継手部材61はセレーションを介して前記ハブ輪51にトルク伝達可能に内嵌されている。そして、複列の転がり軸受52の内輪56に肩部59が突き合わされるまで軸部60がハブ輪51に内嵌されると共に、軸部60の端部に形成された雄ねじ62に固定ナット63が所定の締め付けトルクで締結され、ハブ輪51と外側継手部材61とが軸方向分離可能に結合されている。   The constant velocity universal joint 53 is an outer joint member integrally having a cup-shaped mouth portion (not shown), a shoulder portion 59 that forms the bottom portion of the mouth portion, and a shaft portion 60 that extends in the axial direction from the shoulder portion 59. 61 is provided. The outer joint member 61 is fitted into the hub wheel 51 through serrations so as to transmit torque. Then, the shaft portion 60 is fitted into the hub wheel 51 until the shoulder portion 59 abuts against the inner ring 56 of the double row rolling bearing 52, and the fixing nut 63 is attached to the male screw 62 formed at the end of the shaft portion 60. Are fastened with a predetermined tightening torque, and the hub wheel 51 and the outer joint member 61 are coupled so as to be separable in the axial direction.

こうした車両のホイールWには、エンジン低速回転時、例えば車両発進時に、エンジンから摺動型の等速自在継手(図示せず)を介して大きなトルクが負荷され、ドライブシャフトに捩じれが生じることが知られている。その結果、このドライブシャフトを支持する複列の転がり軸受52の内輪56にも捩じれが生じることになる。このようにドライブシャフトに大きな捩じれが発生した場合、外側継手部材61の肩部59と内輪56の端面との当接面で急激なスリップによる、所謂スティックスリップ音が発生する。   A large torque is applied to the wheel W of such a vehicle from the engine via a sliding type constant velocity universal joint (not shown) when the engine rotates at a low speed, for example, when the vehicle starts, and the drive shaft may be twisted. Are known. As a result, the inner ring 56 of the double row rolling bearing 52 supporting the drive shaft is also twisted. Thus, when a large twist occurs in the drive shaft, a so-called stick-slip sound is generated due to a sudden slip at the contact surface between the shoulder 59 of the outer joint member 61 and the end face of the inner ring 56.

この対策手段として、この従来の車輪用軸受装置50では、外側継手部材61の肩部59と当接する部分等に摩擦抵抗を小さくする表面処理が施されている。具体的には、図5(a)、(b)に示すように、内輪56の端面56b、56cにグリース溝64が円周方向に刻設されている。この表面処理でもって、当接する相手部材との間にグリース等の潤滑油が侵入し易くなることで当接面の摩擦抵抗を小さくし、スムーズな滑りが得られてスティックスリップ音を抑制する効果を発揮できる。
特開2000−110840号公報
As a countermeasure against this, in the conventional wheel bearing device 50, a surface treatment for reducing the frictional resistance is applied to a portion of the outer joint member 61 that contacts the shoulder 59. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, grease grooves 64 are formed in the circumferential direction on the end faces 56 b and 56 c of the inner ring 56. With this surface treatment, the lubricating oil, such as grease, can easily enter between the abutting mating member, reducing the frictional resistance of the abutting surface, resulting in smooth slipping and suppressing stick-slip noise Can be demonstrated.
JP 2000-110840 A

然しながら、このような従来の車輪用軸受装置では、内輪56の端面56b、56cにグリース溝64からなる表面処理が施され、当接する相手部材との摩擦抵抗を小さくしてスティックスリップ音を抑制することができるが、複数の部位にこうした表面処理をする必要があり、加工工数が嵩むと共に工程管理が煩雑となって低コスト化を阻害する要因となっていた。   However, in such a conventional wheel bearing device, the end surfaces 56b and 56c of the inner ring 56 are subjected to surface treatment including the grease grooves 64, and the frictional resistance with the abutting member is reduced to suppress stick-slip noise. However, it is necessary to perform such surface treatment on a plurality of parts, which increases the number of processing steps and complicated the process management, which has been a factor in hindering cost reduction.

また、ハブ輪51の端面を塑性変形させて形成した加締部により内輪56を固定する、所謂セルフリテイン構造を採用した場合、この加締部にこのようなグリース溝64を形成することは難しく、セルフリテイン構造において、スティックスリップ音の発生を効果的に防止できる車輪用軸受装置が望まれていた。   Further, in the case where a so-called self-retain structure is employed in which the inner ring 56 is fixed by a caulking portion formed by plastically deforming the end surface of the hub wheel 51, it is difficult to form such a grease groove 64 in the caulking portion. In the self-retain structure, a wheel bearing device that can effectively prevent the occurrence of stick-slip noise has been desired.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、加締部の表面性状を規制し、当接する相手部材とのスムーズな滑りを実現することによりスティックスリップ音の発生を防止した車輪用軸受装置を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and for wheels that regulate the surface properties of the crimped portion and prevent the occurrence of stick-slip noise by realizing smooth sliding with the abutting counterpart member. It aims at providing a bearing device.

係る目的を達成すべく、本発明のうち請求項1に記載の発明は、内周に複列の外側転走面が一体に形成された外方部材と、一端部に車輪を取り付けるための車輪取付フランジを一体に有し、外周に軸方向に延びる円筒状の小径段部が形成されたハブ輪、およびこのハブ輪の小径段部に圧入された少なくとも一つの内輪とからなり、前記複列の外側転走面に対向する複列の内側転走面が形成された内方部材と、この内方部材と前記外方部材の両転走面間に転動自在に収容された複列の転動体と、前記ハブ輪にセレーションを介して内嵌された軸部を一体に有する等速自在継手の外側継手部材とを備え、前記小径段部の端部を径方向外方に塑性変形させて形成した加締部によって前記内輪が軸方向に固定されると共に、前記外側継手部材の肩部が前記加締部に当接された状態で、前記軸部の端部に形成された雄ねじに固定ナットが締結され、前記ハブ輪と等速自在継手が軸方向に分離可能に結合された車輪用軸受装置において、前記外側継手部材の肩部と当接する前記加締部の端面が旋削加工により平坦面に形成され、この端面が同心状の旋削目で構成されている。   In order to achieve such an object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention includes an outer member in which a double row outer rolling surface is integrally formed on the inner periphery, and a wheel for attaching a wheel to one end. The double row comprises a hub ring integrally having a mounting flange and having a cylindrical small-diameter step portion extending in the axial direction on the outer periphery, and at least one inner ring press-fitted into the small-diameter step portion of the hub ring.

A rolling element and an outer joint member of a constant velocity universal joint integrally having a shaft portion fitted into the hub wheel via serrations, and plastically deforming an end portion of the small diameter step portion radially outward. The inner ring is fixed in the axial direction by the caulking portion formed in this manner, and the shoulder portion of the outer joint member is For a wheel in which a fixing nut is fastened to a male screw formed at an end portion of the shaft portion in contact with the caulking portion, and the hub wheel and the constant velocity universal joint are detachably coupled in the axial direction. In the bearing device, an end surface of the crimping portion that comes into contact with a shoulder portion of the outer joint member is formed into a flat surface by turning, and the end surface is formed by concentric turning stitches.

このように、小径段部の端部を径方向外方に塑性変形させて形成した加締部によって内輪が軸方向に固定されると共に、外側継手部材の肩部が加締部に当接された状態で、軸部の端部に形成された雄ねじに固定ナットが締結され、ハブ輪と等速自在継手が軸方向に分離可能に結合された車輪用軸受装置において、外側継手部材の肩部と当接する加締部の端面が旋削加工により平坦面に形成され、この端面が同心状の旋削目で構成されているので、ハブ輪の加締部と外側継手部材の肩部とのスムーズな滑りを実現することができ、長期間に亘ってスティックスリップ音の発生を防止した車輪用軸受装置を提供することができる。   Thus, the inner ring is fixed in the axial direction by the crimping portion formed by plastically deforming the end portion of the small diameter step portion radially outward, and the shoulder portion of the outer joint member is brought into contact with the crimping portion. In the wheel bearing device in which the fixing nut is fastened to the male screw formed at the end of the shaft portion and the hub wheel and the constant velocity universal joint are detachably coupled in the axial direction, the shoulder portion of the outer joint member The end surface of the caulking portion that comes into contact with is formed into a flat surface by turning, and this end surface is composed of concentric turning stitches, so that the caulking portion of the hub wheel and the shoulder portion of the outer joint member are smooth. It is possible to provide a wheel bearing device capable of realizing slipping and preventing the occurrence of stick-slip noise over a long period of time.

また、請求項2に記載の発明のように、前記加締部の端面が、旋削加工後にショットブラスト加工により所定の面粗さに設定されていても良いし、また、請求項3に記載の発明のように、前記加締部の端面が、旋削加工後にラップ加工が施されて所定の面粗さに設定されていても良い。これにより、旋削加工によるバリや角部のエッジが除去され、摩擦係数が小さくなって当接面をスムーズに滑らせ、スティックスリップ音の発生を抑制することができる。   In addition, as in the invention described in claim 2, the end surface of the crimped portion may be set to a predetermined surface roughness by shot blasting after turning, or in claim 3. As in the invention, the end surface of the crimping portion may be set to a predetermined surface roughness by lapping after turning. Thereby, the burr | flash and the edge of a corner | angular part by turning are removed, a friction coefficient becomes small, a contact surface can be slid smoothly, and generation | occurrence | production of a stick-slip sound can be suppressed.

また、請求項4に記載の発明のように、前記加締部の端面の面粗さがRa1.5〜4.5の範囲に設定されていれば、表面の凹凸による引っ掛かりを防止し、スティックスリップ音の発生を確実に防止することができる。   If the surface roughness of the end face of the caulking portion is set in the range of Ra 1.5 to 4.5 as in the invention described in claim 4, the surface is prevented from being caught by unevenness, and the stick Generation of slip noise can be reliably prevented.

また、請求項5に記載の発明のように、前記外側継手部材の肩部が、旋削または研削加工により面粗さがRa1.5以下に設定されていれば、外側継手部材の内部加工の基準面とすることができると共に、この肩部に当接される加締部との摩擦係数を小さくでき、スティックスリップ音の発生を抑制することができる。   Further, as in the invention described in claim 5, if the shoulder of the outer joint member has a surface roughness Ra of 1.5 or less by turning or grinding, a reference for internal processing of the outer joint member In addition to being able to form a surface, the coefficient of friction with the caulking portion in contact with the shoulder can be reduced, and the occurrence of stick-slip noise can be suppressed.

また、請求項6に記載の発明のように、前記ハブ輪のセレーションが軸線に対して平行に形成されると共に、前記軸部のセレーションに軸線に対して所定の角度傾斜した捩れ角が設けられていれば、セレーションの嵌合部に予圧が付与され、ドライブシャフトに大きな捩じれが発生した場合でも、ハブ輪の加締部と外側継手部材との当接面に急激なスリップが生じなく、スティックスリップ音を一層防止することができる。   Further, as in the invention described in claim 6, the serration of the hub wheel is formed parallel to the axis, and the serration of the shaft portion is provided with a twist angle inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the axis.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an embodiment of a wheel bearing device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the surface properties of a caulking portion, and FIG. 3 shows the surface roughness of the end surface of the caulking portion. It is a graph which shows the relationship with a stick slip sound. In the following description, the side closer to the outer side of the vehicle when assembled to the vehicle is referred to as the outer side (left side in FIG. 1), and the side closer to the center is referred to as the inner side (right side in FIG. 1).

この車輪用軸受装置は駆動輪用の第3世代と称され、ハブ輪1と、このハブ輪1に圧入された内輪2とからなる内方部材3と、この内方部材3に複列の転動体(ボール)4、4を介して外挿された外方部材5とを備えている。   This wheel bearing device is called the third generation for driving wheels, and includes an inner member 3 composed of a hub wheel 1 and an inner ring 2 press-fitted into the hub wheel 1, and a double row of inner members 3. And an outer member 5 inserted through rolling elements (balls) 4 and 4.

ハブ輪1は、アウター側の端部に車輪(図示せず)を取り付けるための車輪取付フランジ6を一体に有し、外周に一方(アウター側)の内側転走面1aと、この内側転走面1aから軸方向に延びる円筒状の小径段部1bが形成され、内周にトルク伝達用のセレーション(またはスプライン)1cが形成されている。また、車輪取付フランジ6には車輪を締結するハブボルト6aが周方向等配に植設されている。   The hub wheel 1 integrally has a wheel mounting flange 6 for attaching a wheel (not shown) to an end portion on the outer side, one (outer side) inner rolling surface 1a on the outer periphery, and this inner rolling. A cylindrical small-diameter step portion 1b extending in the axial direction from the surface 1a is formed, and a serration (or spline) 1c for torque transmission is formed on the inner periphery. Further, hub bolts 6a for fastening the wheels are planted on the wheel mounting flange 6 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction.

内輪2は、外周に他方(インナー側)の内側転走面2aが形成され、ハブ輪1の小径段部1bに所定のシメシロを介して圧入されている。そして、小径段部1bの端部を塑性変形、所謂揺動加締により形成した加締部7によって所定の軸受予圧が付与された状態でハブ輪1に対して軸方向に固定されている。   The inner ring 2 is formed with the other (inner side) inner rolling surface 2a on the outer periphery, and is press-fitted into the small-diameter step portion 1b of the hub ring 1 via a predetermined squeeze. The end portion of the small-diameter stepped portion 1b is fixed in the axial direction to the hub wheel 1 in a state where a predetermined bearing preload is applied by a crimping portion 7 formed by plastic deformation, so-called swing caulking.

外方部材5は、外周にナックル(図示せず)に取り付けられるための車体取付フランジ5bを一体に有し、内周に内方部材3の複列の内側転走面1a、2aに対向する複列の外側転走面5a、5aが一体に形成されている。そして、外方部材5と内方部材3の両転走面間に保持器8、8を介して複列の転動体4、4が転動自在に収容されている。また、外方部材5と内方部材3との間に形成された環状空間の開口部にはシール9、10が装着され、軸受内部に封入された潤滑グリースの漏洩と、外部からの雨水やダスト等が軸受内部に侵入するのを防止している。   The outer member 5 integrally has a vehicle body mounting flange 5b to be attached to a knuckle (not shown) on the outer periphery, and faces the double row inner rolling surfaces 1a, 2a of the inner member 3 on the inner periphery. Double row outer rolling surfaces 5a and 5a are integrally formed. And the double row rolling elements 4 and 4 are accommodated so that rolling is possible between the rolling surfaces of the outer member 5 and the inner member 3 via the holder | retainers 8 and 8. FIG. In addition, seals 9 and 10 are attached to the opening of the annular space formed between the outer member 5 and the inner member 3 to prevent leakage of lubricating grease sealed inside the bearing, rainwater from the outside, Dust and the like are prevented from entering the bearing.

等速自在継手11は、カップ状のマウス部(図示せず)の底部をなす肩部12と、この肩部12から軸方向に延びる軸部13とを一体に有する外側継手部材14を備えている。軸部13の外周にはハブ輪1のセレーション1cに係合されるセレーション(またはスプライン)13aが形成されている。ハブ輪1のセレーション1cが軸線に対して平行に形成されている一方、軸部13のセレーション13aには、軸線に対して所定の角度傾斜した捩れ角が設けられている。そして、外側継手部材14の肩部12が加締部7に当接するまで軸部13がハブ輪1に内嵌され、ハブ輪1のセレーション1cに圧入嵌合されている。さらに、軸部13の端部に形成された雄ねじ13bに固定ナット15が所定の締付トルクで緊締され、ハブ輪1と外側継手部材14とが軸方向分離可能に結合されている。これにより、セレーション1c、13aの嵌合部に予圧が付与され、周方向のガタが殺されるので、ドライブシャフトに大きな捩じれが発生した場合でも、加締部7の端面7aと外側継手部材14の肩部12との当接面に急激なスリップが生じ難くなる。   The constant velocity universal joint 11 includes an outer joint member 14 that integrally includes a shoulder portion 12 that forms the bottom of a cup-shaped mouth portion (not shown) and a shaft portion 13 that extends from the shoulder portion 12 in the axial direction. Yes. A serration (or spline) 13 a that is engaged with the serration 1 c of the hub wheel 1 is formed on the outer periphery of the shaft portion 13. The serration 1c of the hub wheel 1 is formed in parallel to the axis, while the serration 13a of the shaft portion 13 is provided with a twist angle inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the axis. The shaft portion 13 is fitted into the hub wheel 1 until the shoulder portion 12 of the outer joint member 14 abuts against the caulking portion 7, and is press-fitted into the serration 1 c of the hub wheel 1. Further, the fixing nut 15 is fastened with a predetermined tightening torque to the male screw 13b formed at the end of the shaft portion 13, and the hub wheel 1 and the outer joint member 14 are coupled so as to be separable in the axial direction. As a result, a preload is applied to the fitting portions of the serrations 1c and 13a and the play in the circumferential direction is killed. Therefore, even if a large twist occurs in the drive shaft, the end surface 7a of the crimping portion 7 and the outer joint member 14 Abrupt slip is unlikely to occur on the contact surface with the shoulder 12.

ハブ輪1はS53C等の炭素0.40〜0.80wt%を含む中高炭素鋼で形成され、内側転走面1aをはじめ、アウター側のシール9のシールランド部となる車輪取付フランジ6のインナー側の基部6bから小径段部1bに亙って高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。なお、加締部7は、鍛造加工後の表面硬さのままとされている。これにより、車輪取付フランジ6に負荷される回転曲げ荷重に対して充分な機械的強度を有すると共に、内輪2が嵌合される小径段部1bの耐フレッティング性が向上し、ハブ輪1の耐久性が一段と向上する。   The hub wheel 1 is formed of medium and high carbon steel containing carbon of 0.40 to 0.80 wt% such as S53C, and includes an inner rolling surface 1a and an inner portion of a wheel mounting flange 6 that serves as a seal land portion of the seal 9 on the outer side. The surface hardness is hardened to a range of 58 to 64 HRC by induction hardening from the side base 6b to the small diameter step 1b. In addition, the crimping part 7 is made into the surface hardness after a forge process. Thereby, while having sufficient mechanical strength with respect to the rotational bending load applied to the wheel mounting flange 6, the fretting resistance of the small-diameter step portion 1b to which the inner ring 2 is fitted is improved, and the hub wheel 1 is improved. Durability is further improved.

外方部材5はS53C等の炭素0.40〜0.80wt%を含む中高炭素鋼で形成され、少なくとも複列の外側転走面5a、5aが高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。一方、内輪2および転動体4はSUJ2等の高炭素クロム軸受鋼からなり、ズブ焼入れによって芯部まで58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。また、外側継手部材14はS53C等の炭素0.40〜0.80wt%を含む中高炭素鋼で形成され、肩部12から軸部13の基部に亙って高周波焼入れによって表面硬さを58〜64HRCの範囲に硬化処理されている。   The outer member 5 is formed of medium and high carbon steel containing 0.40 to 0.80 wt% of carbon such as S53C, and at least the double row outer rolling surfaces 5a and 5a have a surface hardness in the range of 58 to 64HRC by induction hardening. Has been cured. On the other hand, the inner ring 2 and the rolling element 4 are made of high carbon chrome bearing steel such as SUJ2, and are hardened in the range of 58 to 64 HRC to the core part by quenching. Further, the outer joint member 14 is formed of medium and high carbon steel containing 0.40 to 0.80 wt% of carbon such as S53C, and has a surface hardness of 58 to 58 by induction quenching from the shoulder portion 12 to the base portion of the shaft portion 13. Hardened to a range of 64 HRC.

なお、ここでは、転動体4をボールとした複列アンギュラ玉軸受で構成された車輪用軸受装置を例示したが、これに限らず転動体4に円すいころを使用した複列円すいころ軸受であっても良い。また、ここでは、ハブ輪の外周に直接内側転走面が形成された第3世代構造の車輪用軸受装置を例示したが、これに限らず、ハブ輪の小径段部に一対の内輪が圧入された第1または第2世代構造であっても良い。   Here, the wheel bearing device constituted by a double row angular contact ball bearing in which the rolling element 4 is a ball is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a double row tapered roller bearing using a tapered roller for the rolling element 4 is used. May be. In addition, here, the third-generation wheel bearing device in which the inner rolling surface is directly formed on the outer periphery of the hub wheel is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a pair of inner rings are press-fitted into the small-diameter step portion of the hub wheel. The first or second generation structure may be used.

ここで、スティックスリップ音は、外側継手部材14の肩部12と、加締部7の端面7aとの不連続な滑りが原因となって発生するものと考えられているため、これらの当接面を互いにスムーズに滑らせることで、スティックスリップ音の発生を抑制することができる。本出願人は、当接面をスムーズに滑らせるため、とりわけ、加締部7の端面7aの仕上げ面状態に着目し、この端面7aの面粗さとスティックスリップ音の発生有無との関係を検証した。   Here, since the stick-slip noise is considered to be generated due to discontinuous slip between the shoulder portion 12 of the outer joint member 14 and the end surface 7a of the caulking portion 7, these abutments Generation of stick-slip noise can be suppressed by smoothly sliding the surfaces. In order to smoothly slide the contact surface, the present applicant pays attention to the finished surface state of the end surface 7a of the crimped portion 7, and verifies the relationship between the surface roughness of the end surface 7a and the occurrence of stick-slip noise. did.

加締部7の端面7aと当接する外側継手部材14の肩部12の加工方法には、一般的に旋削加工と研削加工の二種類がある。この肩部12の当接面は、外側継手部材14の内部加工の基準面とされるため、旋削および研削加工の仕上げによる面粗さはRa1.5以下に設定されている。一方、この肩部12と当接する加締部7の端面7aは、揺動加締または揺動加締後に旋削加工によって形成され、一般的に面粗さはRa4.5〜6.5程度に仕上げられている。   There are generally two types of processing methods for the shoulder portion 12 of the outer joint member 14 that abuts the end surface 7a of the crimping portion 7: turning and grinding. Since the contact surface of the shoulder portion 12 is used as a reference surface for internal processing of the outer joint member 14, the surface roughness by finishing of the turning and grinding is set to Ra 1.5 or less. On the other hand, the end surface 7a of the caulking portion 7 that comes into contact with the shoulder portion 12 is formed by swinging caulking or turning after rocking caulking, and generally has a surface roughness of about Ra 4.5 to 6.5. It has been finished.

本実施形態では、加締部7の端面7aは、揺動加締後に旋削加工によって平坦面に形成されている。そして、図2に模式的に示すように、この端面7aは同心状の旋削目で構成されると共に、さらにこの端面7aがショットブラスト加工により、面粗さがRa4.5以下に設定されている。これにより、旋削加工によるバリや角部のエッジが除去され、摩擦係数が小さくなって当接面をスムーズに滑らせ、スティックスリップ音の発生を抑制することができる。   In this embodiment, the end surface 7a of the caulking portion 7 is formed into a flat surface by turning after swing caulking. As schematically shown in FIG. 2, the end surface 7a is formed of concentric turning lines, and the end surface 7a is further set to a surface roughness Ra of 4.5 or less by shot blasting. . Thereby, the burr | flash and the edge of a corner | angular part by turning are removed, a friction coefficient becomes small, a contact surface can be slid smoothly, and generation | occurrence | production of a stick-slip sound can be suppressed.

本出願人が実施した実験では、外側継手部材14の肩部12の面粗さがRa1.5に対して、加締部7の端面7aの面粗さをRa1.5、3.5、4.5、5.1、6.1とした場合、図3に示すように、Ra5.1、6.1では、負荷トルク350N・mでスティックスリップ音が発生したのに対して、Ra4.5以下では、スティックスリップ音が発生しないという結果が得られた。なお、加締部7の端面7aの面粗さをRa1.5以下とすることは加工時間が増えると共に、端面7aの形状崩れが発生して平坦度が低下するため好ましくない。また、面粗さがRa4.5を超えて悪くなると、表面の凹凸による引っ掛かりのためスティックスリップ音が発生すると考えられる。なお、Raは、JISの粗さ形状パラメータの一つで(JIS B0601−1994)、算術平均粗さ、すなわち、平均線から絶対値偏差の平均値を言う。   In the experiment conducted by the present applicant, the surface roughness of the shoulder 12 of the outer joint member 14 is Ra1.5, and the surface roughness of the end surface 7a of the crimped portion 7 is Ra1.5, 3.5, 4 .5, 5.1, and 6.1, as shown in FIG. 3, in Ra 5.1 and 6.1, a stick-slip sound was generated at a load torque of 350 N · m, whereas Ra 4.5 Below, the result that stick-slip noise does not occur was obtained. In addition, it is not preferable that the surface roughness of the end surface 7a of the caulking portion 7 is Ra 1.5 or less because the processing time increases and the shape of the end surface 7a is deformed to reduce the flatness. Further, when the surface roughness becomes worse than Ra4.5, it is considered that a stick-slip sound is generated due to catching by unevenness on the surface. Ra is one of the JIS roughness shape parameters (JIS B0601-1994), and means the arithmetic average roughness, that is, the average value of the absolute value deviation from the average line.

ここでは、加締部7の端面7aが同心状の旋削目が残る平坦面に形成され、その後、ショットブラスト加工により、面粗さがRa4.5以下に規制されているが、これに限らず、旋削加工後にラップ加工が施され、面粗さをRa4.5以下になるように設定しても良い。   Here, the end surface 7a of the caulking portion 7 is formed on a flat surface where concentric turning marks remain, and thereafter, the surface roughness is restricted to Ra 4.5 or less by shot blasting, but not limited thereto. Alternatively, lapping may be performed after turning, and the surface roughness may be set to Ra 4.5 or less.
