BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a driving wheel bearing, and more particularly, to a driving wheel bearing sealing device for preventing foreign matter from entering the mating portions of an inner ring and a constant velocity joint.
Generally, a wheel bearing used in a vehicle serves to mount the wheel on the vehicle body so that the wheel of the vehicle can rotate smoothly without causing friction loss as much as possible.
And the power transmission device that transfers the power generated from the engine of the vehicle to the wheels generally uses constant velocity joints.
The constant velocity joint functions to smoothly transmit the power of the engine to the wheel while the vehicle is bound at the time of driving the vehicle or absorbs radial displacement or axial displacement or moment displacement from the wheel when the vehicle is turning.
Recently, in order to save resources and reduce pollution emission, improvement of fuel efficiency of a vehicle is required. In order to meet such a demand, a power transmitting device of a vehicle is required to be light weighted and a wheel A power transmission structure in which a constant velocity joint is directly connected to a bearing is proposed.

However, in the conventional coupling structure of the wheel bearing and the constant velocity joint, there is necessarily a certain amount of clearance between the tooth profile and the tooth profile for spline coupling between the wheel hub and the constant velocity joint. Therefore, There is a disadvantage that the clearance is increased to generate noise when applied to the coupling portion between the wheel hub and the constant velocity joint.
In order to solve such a problem, the present applicant has developed a patented drive wheel bearing with 10-2013-0162947.

The cover ring is formed of an elastic material.
The cover ring is coated to prevent corrosion or is formed of a corrosion-resistant material.
A tooth groove recessed radially inwardly is formed by the stepped portion of the inner ring, the face spline of the inner ring, the face spline of the constant velocity joint, and the stepped portion thereof in a state where the face spline of the inner ring is engaged with the face spline of the constant velocity joint Being; Wherein the cover ring has a cylindrical portion into which an outer circumferential surface of the constant velocity joint is press-fitted; And a cover portion extending axially from the cylindrical portion to cover the tooth groove and to be shielded from the outside.
The cover portion includes an inner peripheral surface located radially inward; The inner circumferential surface of the cover portion forms an inclined inner circumferential surface inclined radially outward to press the sealing ring; And the inclined inner circumferential surface elastically deforms the sealing ring.

And the driving member is a constant velocity joint.
Wherein each of the face splines has a plurality of teeth and a tooth groove formed to extend in the radial direction; The plurality of teeth and the teeth are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction.
In the sealing device for a driving wheel bearing according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the constant velocity joint is engaged with the inner wheel engaged with the wheel hub to rotate integrally with the face spline, the power of the engine is transmitted to the constant velocity joint, It can be smoothly transmitted to the wheel.
A seal ring is attached to the face spline portion of the inner ring, and a cover ring is attached to the face spline portion of the constant velocity joint in surface contact with the sealing ring. By the cover ring and the sealing, the face spline fitting portion of the inner ring and the constant velocity joint is completely So that there is no possibility that the face spline mating portion is corroded or adhered to each other due to intrusion of foreign matter.
Therefore, the durability and maintainability of the face spline mating portion of the wheel bearing and the constant velocity joint can be improved, and the service life can be extended.
