Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sliding tripod type constant velocity universal joint used for power transmission of automobiles and various industrial machines.
- Constant velocity universal joints transmit torque between two non-linear rotating shafts.
- Sliding tripod type constant velocity natural joints are widely used in the drive system of front-engine front-wheel drive vehicles (FF vehicles). Is done.
- This sliding tripod type constant velocity universal joint 1 has a tripod member 2 provided with three trunnion journals 2b protruding in the radial direction as shown in FIG. 7 (A).
- This tripod member 2 is connected to one shaft connected to a hub wheel in an FF vehicle.
- a bottomed cylindrical outer ring 4 having three track grooves 3 is coupled to the other shaft such as the output shaft of the transmission.
- An outer roller 5c is rotatably fitted to the outer diameter surface of the inner roller 5b via a needle roller 6 in a full roller state. That is, the roller rolling kit K as shown in FIG. 8 is fitted to the trunnion journal 2c of the low vibration constant velocity universal joint.
- the roller rolling kit K has a triple structure of the inner roller 5b, the needle rollers 6, and the outer roller 5c.
- the needle roller 6 is stopped by a pair of upper and lower retaining rings 7b.
- the outer roller 5c is accommodated in the track groove 3 so as to be axially displaceable and transmits torque, similarly to the constant velocity universal joint in FIG. 7 (A).
- the roller roller kit K is composed of the needle roller 6 and the roller 5a (the inner roller 5b and the outer roller 5c for the low vibration type).
- the roller roller kit K has the following problems due to the use of needle rollers as rolling elements.
- a double structure of needle rollers and rollers, or a triple structure of inner rollers, needle rollers, and outer rollers increases the number of parts, resulting in an increase in parts cost and assembly cost.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a tripod type constant velocity universal joint that does not impair NVH performance.
- the present invention provides a non-circular contour of the outer diameter surface of the trunnion journal of the tri-board type constant velocity universal joint.
- the contact position between the radial surface and the inner diameter surface of the roller directly fitted to the outer diameter surface of the trunnion journal is determined from the perpendicular line lowered from the center of the trunnion journal to the track groove of the outer ring, and the longitudinal length of the track groove. Characterized by being moved to a position separated by a predetermined distance in the direction.
- the rolling element such as a needle roller is omitted, and the inner diameter surface of the roller is directly rotatably fitted to the trunnion journal.
- the contact point between the trunnion journal and the inner diameter surface of the roller must be changed from the conventional outer ring circumferential direction to the roller moving direction (the outer ring axial direction or the track groove Direction) by a predetermined distance. If the needle rollers are simply omitted, the rotation of the roller is suppressed by the sliding resistance between the trunnion journal and the inner diameter surface of the roller, which adversely affects the NVH characteristics (noise, vibration, and roughness).
- the position of the contact point between the trunnion journal and the inner diameter surface of the roller was changed in order to promote the rotation of the roller.
- the contour of the outer diameter surface of the trunnion journal is made non-circular.
- “non-circular” is typically the contour shape of the movement trajectory of the ellipse when the ellipse is offset by a predetermined distance in the minor axis direction, or the ellipse is defined by a predetermined angle around its center.
- the “non-circular” may have any other shape as long as the point of contact between the trunnion journal and the inner diameter surface of the roller is shifted by a predetermined distance from the circumferential direction of the outer ring in the moving direction of the roller. If the cross section of the trunnion journal is the above shape, the trunnion journal will contact at two points. When reciprocating, the load ratio at the two points changes. Focusing on the contact point on the side receiving more load, the following can be considered.
- the mechanism for rotating the rollers will be described with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section of the trunnion journal 2 a and the roller 5. The symbols used in FIG. 3 are as follows.
- Point O ' Point of contact between trunnion journal 2a and roller 5 inner diameter surface
- the roller By setting the abutment position between the trunnion journal and the inner diameter of the roller at a position shifted from the circumferential direction of the conventional outer ring in the direction of roller advancement, the roller can easily roll, and rolling elements such as needle rollers are omitted. Even so, the NVH characteristics required for constant velocity universal joints can be maintained.
- the tri-board type constant velocity universal joint can be composed of three types of parts: trunnion, roller, and outer ring. The reduction in the number of parts can reduce manufacturing and assembly costs.
- the outer diameter of the outer ring can be reduced in size and weight by reducing the dimensions of each part by utilizing the space allowance, and the accompanying cost reduction can be achieved.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a tripod type constant velocity universal joint according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in the axial direction of the outer ring track groove for explaining the rolling mechanism of the roller.

- FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the sliding tri-board type constant velocity universal joint 1 of the present invention applied to the drive system of an FF vehicle.
- a tripboard member 2 having three trunnion journals 2a protruding in the radial direction is connected to a shaft (not shown) on the artboard side connected to the hub wheel.
- a bottomed cylindrical outer ring 4 having three track grooves 3 extending in the axial direction is connected to a shaft (not shown) on the inboard side.
- a roller 5 directly rotatably fitted to the trunnion journal 2a is accommodated in the track groove 3 so as to be axially displaceable.
- the pair of guide surfaces 3a facing each other in the circumferential direction of the track groove 3 are constituted by a part of a cylindrical surface.
- the outer diameter surface of the roller 5 is a spherical surface conforming to the roller guide surface 3a.
- this contour C 1 is referred to as “offset elliptical contour C 1”.
- Circular inner surface of the roller 5 is fitted to the outer diameter surface of the Toranio down journal 2 a. Accordingly, four points P 1 to P 4 on the outer diameter surface of the trunnion journal 2 a abut on the inner diameter surface of the mouthpiece 5.
- Points P1 to P4 are the major axes of the ellipse E and are located in a direction offset from the ellipse by L2. Fig.
- contour C2 of the outer diameter surface of the trunnion journal 2a, in which the ellipse E is rotated right or left by a predetermined angle around its center O (the intersection of the long axis and the short axis). This is the contour of the movement trajectory of the ellipse E at this time (hereinafter, this contour C2 is referred to as "spheroidal contour C2").
- the four points P 1 to P 4 of the outer surface of the trunnion journal 2 a are Abuts the inner diameter surface of The four points P1 to P4 overlap with the major axis L of the ellipse.

- the trunnion journal 2 a has a cross-sectional shape obtained by offsetting or rotating the ellipse E, and a gap G 2 exists between the trunnion journal 2 a and the roller 5. Due to the presence of the upper and lower gaps (3 2 and 5), the reroller 5 can move in the axial direction of the trunnion journal 2a as shown by the arrow in FIG.
