Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ball bearing and a transmission for a hybrid vehicle.
- FIG. 42 shows a ball bearing according to a first conventional example that is widely used to support various rotating parts.
- an inner ring 102 having an inner ring raceway 101 on an outer peripheral surface and an outer ring 104 having an outer ring raceway 103 on an inner peripheral surface are arranged concentrically, and a plurality of balls are arranged between the inner ring raceway 101 and the outer ring raceway 103.
- 105 has a structure in which it can freely roll.
- a plurality of balls 105 are movably held in a holder 107 as shown in FIGS.
- the cage 107 is called a crown type cage, and is integrally formed by injection molding a synthetic resin.
- the cage 107 includes an annular base portion 108 and a plurality of pockets 109 provided on one end surface in the axial direction of the base portion 108.
- Each pocket 109 is formed of a concave portion 110 provided on one end surface in the axial direction of the base portion 108 and a pair of elastic pieces 111 disposed opposite to each other at an edge of the concave portion 110.
- the mutually opposing surfaces of the pair of elastic pieces 111 and the inner surface of the recess 110 continuously form one spherical concave surface or cylindrical surface.
- the cage 107 pushes the balls 105 between the pair of elastic pieces 111 while elastically expanding the interval between the elastic pieces 111, thereby holding the balls 105 in the respective pockets 109 so as to roll freely.
- the cage 107 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin such as nylon 46, nylon 66, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), or the like.
- a synthetic resin such as nylon 46, nylon 66, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), or the like.
- PPS polyphenylene sulfide
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- PEEK polyether ether ketone
- Such ball bearings are often used under severe conditions such as high temperature and high speed.
- a ball bearing incorporated in a rotation support part of a drive motor or an alternator for a hybrid vehicle it is often used at a high temperature (100 ° C. or higher) and at a high speed (rotational speed 10,000 min ⁇ 1 or higher or dmn 600,000 or higher).
- dm of dmn is a bearing pitch circle diameter (unit: mm)
- n is a rotational speed of the bearing (unit: min ⁇ 1 ).
- the cage 107 in the ball bearing rotates at a high speed together with the lubricating oil and grease existing between the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 102 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 104.
- the cage 107 during high-speed rotation is combined with a radially outward force based on centrifugal force, a restraining force based on the revolution of the ball 105 (rotational force), agitation resistance of lubricating oil and grease, and the like. Complex power is added.
- the cage 107 repeats irregular motions by such a complicated force, and receives a complex external stress accompanied by an impact. Therefore, if the operation is continued for a long time under the high-speed use condition as described above, it is elastically deformed or plastically deformed by the action of centrifugal force. These deformations tend to be accelerated at high temperatures. As a result, the variation in the gap between the inner surface of each pocket 109 and the rolling surface of each ball 105 increases. Furthermore, the inner surface of each pocket 109 wears due to the force received from the rolling surface of the ball 105. And when this gap becomes large, the following problems occur.
- the cage 107 vibrates finely with the rotation of the ball bearing, which not only further promotes wear of each pocket 109, but also generates harmful vibration and noise.
- the cage 107 is partially or entirely displaced or decentered, so that a part of the cage 107 becomes the inner ring 102 or the outer ring. 104 rubs against each other.
- the elastic piece 111 of the pocket 109 is displaced radially outward based on the centrifugal force (see FIG. 45), and the outer peripheral surface of each elastic piece 111 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 104 rub against each other. If such rubbing occurs, there is a risk that the drag torque of the bearing will increase or the cage 107 will break. Further, when the wear further progresses, the cage 107 is detached from the bearing and the bearing is disassembled, which may cause serious damage to the bearing unit.
- the ball bearing of the second conventional example includes an inner ring 201 having an inner ring raceway surface 201a (track groove) on the outer peripheral surface, and an outer ring 202 having an outer ring raceway surface 202a (track groove) on the inner peripheral surface.
- a plurality of balls 203 that are rotatably arranged between the inner ring raceway surface 201a and the outer ring raceway surface 202a, and an annular base portion 204a and one axial end surface of the base portion 204a that protrude from the tip.
- a resin-made crown-shaped cage 204 that accommodates the ball 203 in a spherical pocket 204c formed between the pillar portions 204b.
- the balls 203 are held at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction by the crown type holder 204 and revolve together with the holder 204.
- Such ball bearings are often used in a forced lubrication system in which lubricating oil is supplied by a pump or the like when used in a rotating part of an automobile transmission or the like. It flows through in the direction and circulates and lubricates in the transmission unit.
- the center Oc of the spherical pocket 204c of the crown-shaped cage 204 is arranged on the outer diameter side from the center T1 of the radial width of the crown-shaped cage 204, that is, the crown-shaped cage.
- the inner width Q1 is made larger than the outer width Q2 from the center Oc of the spherical pocket 204c to secure a large amount of ball holding on the inner diameter side. It has been proposed to suppress torsional deformation of the mold cage 204 toward the outer diameter side (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-34317).
- the present invention is directed to addressing one or more of the problems set forth above.
- a ball bearing includes an inner ring having a raceway surface, an outer ring having a raceway surface, and a plurality of rolling elements that are freely rollable between the raceway surface of the inner ring and the raceway surface of the outer ring. And a resin cage for holding a plurality of rolling elements between the inner ring and the outer ring.
- the cage is a crown type cage that includes an annular base portion and a plurality of pockets formed on one end surface in the axial direction of the annular base portion, and the plurality of pockets hold the plurality of rolling elements.
- the axial distance between the axial position of the center of gravity of the cage and the center of curvature of each spherical or cylindrical inner surface of the pocket is at least 0.6 times the radius of curvature of the inner surface.
- a hybrid vehicle transmission includes the ball bearing.
- FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the cage in FIG. 2.
- FIG. 2 It is a fragmentary sectional view of the ball bearing which shows the center position of radial direction thickness of a cage.
