自動車においては、その制御を行うために種々の情報が必要であることから、車輪が取り付けられる車輪側軌道部材、車体側に固定される車体側軌道部材、および両軌道部材の間に配置された二列の転動体を有するハブユニット(転がり軸受装置)にセンサ装置を設けられているが、センサ装置をコンパクトに取り付けるための一手段として、シール装置にセンサ装置を取り付けた転がり軸受装置が提案されている。 In automobiles, various information is required to perform the control, so the wheel side track member to which the wheels are attached, the vehicle side track member fixed to the vehicle body side, and the two track members are arranged. Although a sensor device is provided in a hub unit (rolling bearing device) having two rows of rolling elements, a rolling bearing device in which the sensor device is attached to a seal device has been proposed as a means for compactly attaching the sensor device. ing.
このような転がり軸受装置として、特許文献1には、固定輪、回転輪および両輪間に配置された転動体を有する転がり軸受と、固定輪に嵌合固定された芯金および芯金に取り付けられた弾性シールを有している固定側シール部材と、回転輪に嵌合固定された円筒部および円筒部の軸方向端部に連なって固定側シール部材に向かってのびるフランジ部を有する回転側シール部材と、固定側シール部材に設けられて回転側シール部材に摺接する弾性シールと、固定側シール部材に設けられたセンサと、回転側シール部材に設けられた着磁体とからなり、センサと着磁体とが軸方向に対向させられているものが記載されている。 As such a rolling bearing device, Patent Document 1 is attached to a rolling bearing having a fixed ring, a rotating ring, and a rolling element disposed between the two rings, and a metal core and a metal core fitted and fixed to the stationary ring. A fixed-side seal member having an elastic seal, a cylindrical portion fitted and fixed to the rotating wheel, and a rotary-side seal having a flange portion extending toward the fixed-side seal member connected to the axial end of the cylindrical portion A member, an elastic seal provided on the stationary seal member and in sliding contact with the rotational seal member, a sensor disposed on the stationary seal member, and a magnetized body disposed on the rotational seal member. It describes what is opposed to the magnetic body in the axial direction.
上記特許文献1の転がり軸受装置では、まず、着磁体が設けられた回転側シール部材が圧入され、次いで、弾性シールが設けられた固定側シール部材が圧入され、その後に、センサが固定側シール部材に取り付けられており、圧入作業が2回必要であるとともに、センサの固定側シール部材への取付けが面倒であるため、センサ装置の取付け工程に多くの時間がかかるという問題があった。 In the rolling bearing device of Patent Document 1, first, a rotating side seal member provided with a magnetized body is press-fitted, then a fixed side seal member provided with an elastic seal is press-fitted, and then the sensor is fixed-side sealed. Since it is attached to the member, the press-fitting operation is required twice, and it is troublesome to attach the sensor to the fixed side seal member, so that there is a problem that it takes a lot of time to install the sensor device.
そこで、センサが固定側シール部材の芯金に樹脂モールドされるとともに、着磁体が回転側シール部材のフランジ部側面に設けられているセンサ付きシール装置とするとともに、センサ付き固定側シール部材と着磁部付き回転側シール部材とを予め組み立てておき(パック化しておき)、このセンサ付きシール装置の端面を適宜な治具で押すことにより、転がり軸受やハブユニットに取り付け、よって、センサ装置の取付け工程にかかる時間を減少することが考えられる。 Therefore, the sensor is resin-molded on the core of the fixed-side seal member, and the magnetized body is a seal device with a sensor provided on the side surface of the flange portion of the rotary-side seal member. The rotating side seal member with the magnetic part is assembled in advance (packed), and the end surface of the seal device with sensor is pushed with an appropriate jig to attach it to a rolling bearing or hub unit. It is conceivable to reduce the time required for the attachment process.

樹脂部材(22)は、孔あきの円盤状とされており、その周上1カ所に、コネクタ部(27)を設けるための突出部(22a)が形成されている。樹脂部材(22)の左面は、シール装置の左端面となっており、平坦面とされている。芯金(21)の外向きフランジ部(42)の軸方向内側部分にも、樹脂が充填されており、これにより、芯金(21)に対する樹脂部材(22)の動きが抑制されている。 The resin member (22) has a perforated disk shape, and a projecting portion (22a) for providing a connector portion (27) is formed at one place on the circumference thereof. The left surface of the resin member (22) is the left end surface of the sealing device and is a flat surface. The axially inner portion of the outward flange portion (42) of the metal core (21) is also filled with resin, thereby suppressing the movement of the resin member (22) relative to the metal core (21).
回転側シール部材(9)は、車輪側軌道部材(4)の内輪(17)の肩部(17b)に嵌め入れられた円筒部(36)および円筒部(36)の左端部に連なる外向きフランジ部(37)からなる。 The rotation side seal member (9) is an outward facing to the cylindrical part (36) fitted into the shoulder part (17b) of the inner ring (17) of the wheel side raceway member (4) and the left end part of the cylindrical part (36). It consists of a flange part (37).
パルサ(10)は、N極とS極とが交互に配置されて回転信号を出力するもので、回転側シール部材(9)の外向きフランジ部(37)の左面に接着された着磁体(35)からなる。回転側シール部材(9)は着磁体(35)の支持リングを兼ねており、これにより、着磁体(35)付きの回転側シール部材(9)が得られている。 The pulsar (10) is one in which N poles and S poles are alternately arranged to output a rotation signal, and is a magnetized body (bonded to the left surface of the outward flange portion (37) of the rotation side seal member (9)). 35).

センサ(11)は、その検知面が着磁体(35)に軸方向外方から対向するように、樹脂部材(22)内に位置させられている。 The sensor (11) is positioned in the resin member (22) so that its detection surface faces the magnetized body (35) from the outside in the axial direction.
弾性シール(24)は、回転側シール部材(9)の外向きフランジ部(37)に軸方向内側から摺接するアキシャルリップ(45)と、同円筒部(36)に径方向外側から摺接する第1および第2のラジアルリップ(46)(47)とを有している。この弾性シール(24)によって、着磁体(35)と軸受内部との間がシールされている。
上記図8に示した比較例のセンサ付きシール装置およびそれを用いた転がり軸受装置では、センサ装置の取付け工程にかかる時間を大幅に減少することができるものの、同図にBで示す樹脂部材と着磁体との間から水が浸入しやすく、また、浸入した水が着磁部に溜まりやすくなっており、センサ検知精度を悪化させる懸念がある。 In the sealing device with a sensor of the comparative example shown in FIG. 8 and the rolling bearing device using the same, the time required for the mounting process of the sensor device can be significantly reduced, but the resin member indicated by B in FIG. Water is likely to enter from between the magnetized bodies, and the intruded water is likely to accumulate in the magnetized portion, and there is a concern that the sensor detection accuracy may deteriorate.
この発明の目的は、センサ装置の取付け工程にかかる時間を大幅に減少することができるとともに、外部の泥水等が軸受内部や着磁部へ浸入することを防ぎ、これにより、センサ検知精を確保することが可能なセンサ付きシール装置およびそれを用いた転がり軸受装置を提供することにある。 The object of the present invention is to significantly reduce the time required for the sensor device mounting process, and to prevent external muddy water from entering the inside of the bearing and the magnetized portion, thereby ensuring sensor detection accuracy. Another object of the present invention is to provide a sensor-equipped sealing device and a rolling bearing device using the same.

このセンサ付きシール装置は、すべての部材を先に組み込んでおいてから、その端面を適宜な治具で押すことにより、転がり軸受やハブユニットに取り付けられる。 This sensor-equipped sealing device is attached to a rolling bearing or a hub unit by assembling all the members first and then pushing the end surface with an appropriate jig.
センサは、芯金の円筒部およびフランジ部で囲まれた部分に配置してももちろんよいが、芯金の円筒部の軸方向外側部分に貫通孔が設けられて、センサは、その貫通孔に挿通された状態で樹脂モールドされることがより好ましい。この場合に、貫通孔を複数として、残りの貫通孔に樹脂が充填されていることがより好ましい。このようにすると、センサと着磁体との間に芯金(金属部分)が介在しない構成となり、センサ検知精度をより一層向上させることができる。この場合、樹脂面と着磁体とのエアギャップは、例えば0.1mm程度とされる。そして、センサは、樹脂でカバーされているようにしてもよく、また、センサの検知面を樹脂から露出させるようにしてもよい。後者の構成とすることにより、センサの検知面と着磁体とのギャップをさらに小さくすることができ、検知精度をさらに向上させることができる。貫通孔の形状は、センサ(センサIC)に対応して、方形とすることが好ましいが、樹脂モールドすることからこれに限らず、円形や楕円形であってもよい。センサを設置するためには、貫通孔は1カ所でよいが、貫通孔を複数として、各孔内に樹脂が充填されるようにすることにより、芯金に対する樹脂の動きが抑えられ、芯金から樹脂が抜けることが防止される。 Of course, the sensor may be arranged in a portion surrounded by the cylindrical portion and the flange portion of the cored bar, but a through hole is provided in an axially outer portion of the cylindrical part of the cored bar, and the sensor is disposed in the through hole. More preferably, it is resin-molded in the inserted state. In this case, it is more preferable that a plurality of through holes are provided and the remaining through holes are filled with resin. If it does in this way, it will become the composition by which a metal core (metal part) does not intervene between a sensor and a magnetism object, and sensor detection accuracy can be improved further. In this case, the air gap between the resin surface and the magnetized body is, for example, about 0.1 mm. The sensor may be covered with resin, or the detection surface of the sensor may be exposed from the resin. By adopting the latter configuration, the gap between the detection surface of the sensor and the magnetized body can be further reduced, and the detection accuracy can be further improved. The shape of the through hole is preferably a square corresponding to the sensor (sensor IC), but is not limited to this because it is resin-molded, and may be a circle or an ellipse. In order to install the sensor, the number of through-holes may be one, but by making a plurality of through-holes and filling each hole with resin, the movement of the resin relative to the core metal is suppressed, and the core metal The resin is prevented from coming off from
上記のセンサ付きシール装置は、例えば、弾性シールが取り付けられた芯金とセンサを樹脂モールドし、回転側シール部材(スリンガ)に組み込み、その後、着磁体が設けられた着磁体支持リング(パルサリング)を回転側シール部材に圧入することにより得られる。そして、転がり軸受装置への取付けは、センサ付きシール装置の回転側シール部材の軸方向外側面と樹脂端面とを適宜な治具で同時に押して、固定側シール部材および回転側シール部材を転がり軸受に圧入することにより行うことができる。このようにすると、組立性が良くかつ低コスト化が可能となり、しかも、回転側シール部材に対する着磁体支持リングの位置決めが確実に行えるので、センサと着磁体との位置決め精度が向上し、また、転がり軸受装置に対する回転側シール部材の位置決めが確実に行えるので、シールの位置を管理することが容易となり、これにより、シール性およびセンサ検知精度の両方とも良好なものにすることができる。 The sensor-equipped sealing device includes, for example, a resin-molded cored bar and a sensor to which an elastic seal is attached, and incorporates the sensor into a rotation-side seal member (slinger), and then a magnetized body support ring (pulsar ring) provided with a magnetized body Can be obtained by press-fitting into the rotation-side seal member. For mounting to the rolling bearing device, the axial side outer surface and the resin end surface of the rotation side seal member of the sensor-equipped seal device are simultaneously pressed with an appropriate jig, and the fixed side seal member and the rotation side seal member are turned into the rolling bearing. This can be done by press-fitting. In this way, assembly is good and cost reduction is possible, and the positioning of the magnet support ring with respect to the rotation-side seal member can be reliably performed, so that the positioning accuracy between the sensor and the magnet is improved. Since the rotation-side seal member can be reliably positioned with respect to the rolling bearing device, it becomes easy to manage the position of the seal, and thereby both the sealing performance and the sensor detection accuracy can be improved.

The gap between the left surface of the magnetized body (61) and the right surface of the main body portion of the resin member (52) is as small as possible (for example, about 0.1 mm) as long as they do not contact each other. FIG. 2 shows the case where the sensor (11) is covered with resin, but the right side of the sensor (11) and the right side of the resin member are arranged so that the sensor (11) approaches the magnetized body (61). And the gap between the detection surface of the sensor (11) and the magnetized body (61) may be further reduced. The shape of the through hole (54a) is not particularly limited, and the number thereof can be changed as appropriate. The number of through holes (54a) may be only one for inserting the sensor (11).

芯金(51)の内向きフランジ部(55)よりも軸方向内側にある樹脂部材(52)の部分と芯金(51)の円筒部(54)および内向きフランジ部(55)との接触部分、すなわち図2に符号(66)で示す2カ所(芯金(51)の内向きフランジ部(55)の軸方向内側の面と樹脂部材(52)との境界部で外部に露出している部分と芯金(51)の円筒部(54)の径方向内側の面と樹脂部材(52)との境界部)の全周に、シール手段としてのシリコーン系等の液状ガスケット(66)が設けられている。液状ガスケット(66)は、常温で流動性のあるものを接合面に塗布することにより、一定時間後にシール性を発揮して水等の浸入を防止するもので、樹脂モールド後に設けることができる。 Contact between the portion of the resin member (52) axially inward of the inward flange portion (55) of the core metal (51) and the cylindrical portion (54) and inward flange portion (55) of the core metal (51) 2, exposed to the outside at the boundary between the resin member (52) and the two locations indicated by reference numeral (66) in FIG. 2 (the inner surface of the inward flange portion (55) of the core metal (51) and the resin member (52). And a liquid gasket (66) such as silicone as a sealing means on the entire circumference of the portion of the core portion (51) and the radially inner surface of the cylindrical portion (54) of the core portion (51) and the resin member (52). Is provided. The liquid gasket (66) can be provided after resin molding by applying a fluid material at room temperature to the joint surface to exhibit a sealing property after a certain period of time to prevent intrusion of water or the like.
このセンサ付きシール装置(2)によると、芯金(51)、回転側シール部材(スリンガ)(9)および弾性シール(53)によって、軸受内部への水の浸入がほぼ完全に防止されているが、樹脂部材(樹脂)(52)と芯金(金属)(51)とでは膨張係数が違うため、温度変化により樹脂部材(52)が芯金(51)に対して伸縮し、樹脂部材(52)と芯金(51)との間に隙間が発生し、長期間使用する場合には、この隙間からの水の浸入が懸念される。これに対し、第1実施形態のものでは、芯金(51)と樹脂部材(52)との間にシール手段としての液状ガスケット(66)を付加することにより、芯金(51)と樹脂部材(52)との境界面から外部の泥水等が軸受内部や着磁体(61)へ浸入することが完全に防止されている。したがって、長期間にわたってシール性が確保させられるだけでなく、着磁体(61)への水の浸入がないことからセンサ検知精度も向上させられている。 According to this sensor-equipped sealing device (2), the intrusion of water into the bearing is almost completely prevented by the cored bar (51), the rotating side sealing member (slinger) (9) and the elastic seal (53). However, since the expansion coefficient is different between the resin member (resin) (52) and the metal core (metal) (51), the resin member (52) expands and contracts with respect to the metal core (51) due to the temperature change. 52) and a metal core (51), a gap is generated, and when it is used for a long time, there is a concern that water may enter through this gap. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, by adding a liquid gasket (66) as a sealing means between the core metal (51) and the resin member (52), the core metal (51) and the resin member are added. External muddy water and the like from the boundary surface with (52) is completely prevented from entering the inside of the bearing and the magnetized body (61). Therefore, not only the sealing performance is ensured over a long period of time, but also the sensor detection accuracy is improved because there is no water intrusion into the magnetized body (61).
