Description

本発明は、自動車のステアリング装置のリンク部やシフトレバーのボールジョイントなどに取り付けられるダストカバーに関する。   The present invention relates to a dust cover attached to a link portion of a steering device of an automobile, a ball joint of a shift lever, or the like.

従来の技術によるダストカバーとして、例えば図8に示すようなものがある。   An example of a dust cover according to the prior art is shown in FIG.

すなわちこのダストカバー100は、ゴム状弾性材料(ゴム材料又はゴム状弾性を有する合成樹脂材料)からなるものであって、自在に変形可能な可撓筒部101を有し、下端部に形成されたクランプ部102がボールジョイント200のハウジング201に緊結固定され、上端部に形成されたシールリップ103が、ハウジング201の内周の軸受部202にボール部203aにより揺動可能及び回転可能に結合されたボールスタッド203の軸部203b及び鍔部203cに円周方向摺動可能に密嵌されることによって、ボールジョイント200内への水やダストの浸入を防止すると共に、ボールジョイント200内に封入されたグリース(不図示)の流出を防止するものである(例えば下記の特許文献1参照)。   That is, the dust cover 100 is made of a rubber-like elastic material (rubber material or synthetic resin material having rubber-like elasticity), and has a flexible cylindrical portion 101 that can be freely deformed, and is formed at the lower end portion. The clamp portion 102 is tightly fixed to the housing 201 of the ball joint 200, and the seal lip 103 formed on the upper end portion is coupled to the bearing portion 202 on the inner periphery of the housing 201 so as to be swingable and rotatable by the ball portion 203a. The ball stud 203 is tightly fitted to the shaft portion 203b and the flange portion 203c so as to be slidable in the circumferential direction, thereby preventing water and dust from entering the ball joint 200 and being enclosed in the ball joint 200. This prevents the outflow of grease (not shown) (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

この種のダストカバー100は、ボールスタッド203の揺動に対しては可撓筒部101が屈伸変形することによって追随し、ボールスタッド203が回転動作した場合は、このボールスタッド203の軸部203b及び鍔部203cに対してシールリップ103が円周方向へ滑ることで可撓筒部101の捩れによる耐久性の低下を防止している。   This type of dust cover 100 follows the swing of the ball stud 203 by the bending and stretching of the flexible cylindrical portion 101. When the ball stud 203 rotates, the shaft portion 203b of the ball stud 203 is rotated. Further, the seal lip 103 slides in the circumferential direction with respect to the flange portion 203c, thereby preventing the durability from being lowered due to the twist of the flexible tube portion 101.

しかしながら、例えば図9に示すように、可撓筒部101が環状谷部101aを介して複数の環状山部101bを有する蛇腹状をなすものである場合(例えば下記の特許文献2参照)は、図8のボールスタッド203の揺動回転動作の際にシールリップ103の摺動抵抗によって可撓筒部101が捩れやすくなってしまう問題があった。そして、このような捩れを防止するための対策としては、可撓筒部101の肉厚を大きくすることによってその剛性を向上させるしかなく、肉厚を大きくした場合は変形を受けた時の歪が大きくなるため、繰り返し屈伸変形に対する耐疲労性が低下するおそれがあった。   However, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the flexible cylindrical portion 101 has a bellows shape having a plurality of annular ridge portions 101 b via the annular valley portions 101 a (see, for example, Patent Document 2 below), When the ball stud 203 of FIG. 8 swings and rotates, there is a problem that the flexible cylindrical portion 101 is easily twisted due to the sliding resistance of the seal lip 103. As a countermeasure for preventing such twist, there is no choice but to improve the rigidity by increasing the thickness of the flexible cylindrical portion 101. If the thickness is increased, the distortion caused by deformation is increased. Therefore, the fatigue resistance against repeated bending and stretching deformations may be reduced.

An elastically deformable bellows-like flexible tube portion having an annular crest having a convex folded shape, and a clamp portion formed at one end of the flexible tube portion and fixed to the housing of the ball joint, , formed on the other end portion of the flexible tubular portion, and a slidable seal lip is closely fitted to the swing-rotatably coupled ball stud to said housing, said annular troughs or cyclic Both the surface constituting the peak portion and the surface constituting the annular valley portion or the annular peak portion facing the surface in the expansion and contraction direction and the same or adjacent to the portion, respectively , Circumferential direction in the state of compression deformation In which the engaging portion is provided to be engaged with each other.

本発明のダストカバーは、ボールジョイントに適宜圧縮状態で装着することによって、あるいはボールジョイントのボールスタッドの揺動への追随変形に伴う圧縮によって、可撓筒部の環状谷部又は環状山部の部位を構成する面、及びその面と伸縮方向に対向しかつ前記部位と同一もしくは隣接する環状谷部又は環状山部の部位を構成する面の双方に、それぞれ設けられた係合部が互いに係合され、これによって前記環状谷部又は環状山部の部位を構成する面、及びその面と伸縮方向に対向しかつ前記部位と同一もしくは隣接する環状谷部又は環状山部の部位を構成する面の円周方向相対変位が規制されるので、ボールスタッドの回転による可撓筒部の捩れ変形が抑制される。 The dust cover of the present invention can be attached to the ball joint in an appropriately compressed state, or by compression accompanying the deformation of the ball joint following the swing of the ball stud . The engaging portions provided on both the surface constituting the part and the surface constituting the part of the annular valley or the annular mountain part facing the surface in the expansion / contraction direction and the same or adjacent to the part are mutually engaged. The surface constituting the annular valley portion or the annular ridge portion, and the surface constituting the annular valley portion or the annular ridge portion facing the surface in the expansion / contraction direction and the same as or adjacent to the portion. Therefore, the torsional deformation of the flexible cylindrical portion due to the rotation of the ball stud is suppressed.

以下、本発明に係るダストカバーの好ましい実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。まず図1〜図5は、第一の実施の形態を示すものである。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a dust cover according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 show a first embodiment.

すなわち、第一の実施の形態のダストカバー1は、図1、図2及び図3に示すように、ゴム状弾性材料(ゴム材料又はゴム状弾性を有する合成樹脂材料)によって成形されたものであって、環状谷部111を介して一対の環状山部112,113が形成された伸縮変形可能な蛇腹状の可撓筒部11と、この可撓筒部11の下端(請求項1における一方の端部に相当する)に形成された環状のクランプ部12と、可撓筒部11の上端(請求項1における他方の端部に相当する)に形成された内周シールリップ13及び外部シールリップ14とを備える。また図3に示すように、内周シールリップ13及び外部シールリップ14が形成された上端部には、金属製の補強環15が埋設されている。   That is, the dust cover 1 of the first embodiment is formed of a rubber-like elastic material (rubber material or a synthetic resin material having rubber-like elasticity) as shown in FIGS. In addition, a bellows-like flexible tube portion 11 having a pair of annular peaks 112 and 113 formed through an annular valley portion 111 and capable of stretching and deforming, and a lower end of the flexible tube portion 11 (one in claim 1) An annular clamp portion 12 formed at the upper end of the flexible tube portion 11 (corresponding to the other end portion in claim 1) and an outer seal. And a lip 14. As shown in FIG. 3, a metal reinforcing ring 15 is embedded in the upper end portion where the inner peripheral seal lip 13 and the outer seal lip 14 are formed.

可撓筒部11における環状谷部111を挟んで伸縮方向へ互いに対向する面のうち一方の面、すなわち図示の例では環状谷部111の上側の壁面111aには、複数の係合突部114が円周方向等間隔で形成されており、前記環状谷部111を挟んで伸縮方向(上下方向)へ互いに対向する面のうち他方の面、すなわち図示の例では環状谷部111の下側の壁面111bには、複数の係合凹部115が円周方向等間隔で形成されている。   A plurality of engaging protrusions 114 are provided on one surface of the flexible cylindrical portion 11 that faces each other in the expansion / contraction direction across the annular valley 111, that is, on the wall surface 111 a on the upper side of the annular valley 111 in the illustrated example. Are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the other surface of the surfaces facing each other in the expansion / contraction direction (vertical direction) across the annular valley 111, that is, the lower side of the annular valley 111 in the illustrated example. A plurality of engaging recesses 115 are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the wall surface 111b.

係合突部114及び係合凹部115は請求項1に記載された係合部に相当するものであって、互いに同位相上にあり、係合突部114よりも係合凹部115の縦横の幅がわずかに大きく、すなわち係合突部114と係合凹部115は互いに遊嵌可能となっている。また、これら係合突部114及び係合凹部115は金型を用いたダストカバー1の成形工程において形成される。   The engagement protrusion 114 and the engagement recess 115 correspond to the engagement portion described in claim 1, and are in phase with each other, and are vertically and horizontally in the engagement recess 115 with respect to the engagement protrusion 114. The width is slightly larger, that is, the engagement protrusion 114 and the engagement recess 115 can be loosely fitted to each other. In addition, the engaging protrusion 114 and the engaging recess 115 are formed in the molding process of the dust cover 1 using a mold.

上記の構成を備える第一の実施の形態のダストカバー1は、図4に示すように、ボールジョイント2に装着される。   As shown in FIG. 4, the dust cover 1 of the first embodiment having the above-described configuration is attached to the ball joint 2.

詳しくは、ボールジョイント2は、ハウジング21と、このハウジング21内に設けられた合成樹脂製の軸受部22と、この軸受部22に回動自在に保持されたボール部231により揺動可能及び回転可能に結合されたボールスタッド23からなり、ハウジング21の上端開口部から外部へボールスタッド23の軸部232が延びている。   Specifically, the ball joint 2 is swingable and rotatable by a housing 21, a synthetic resin bearing 22 provided in the housing 21, and a ball 231 rotatably held by the bearing 22. The ball stud 23 is coupled to the housing 21, and the shaft 232 of the ball stud 23 extends from the upper end opening of the housing 21 to the outside.

ダストカバー1は、下端に形成されたクランプ部12がハウジング21の上端部外周面に形成された溝21aに密嵌された状態でスナップリング16によって緊結固定され、上端部に形成された内周シールリップ13がボールスタッド23の軸部232の外周面に円周方向摺動可能に密接されると共に、外部シールリップ14が、ボールスタッド23の軸部232に設けられた鍔部233の下面に円周方向摺動可能に密接される。そしてこの装着状態では、可撓筒部11は適当に圧縮されており、環状谷部111の上側の壁面111aに形成された係合突部114と、環状谷部111の下側の壁面111bに形成された係合凹部115が互いに遊嵌され、これによって円周方向に係合されている。   The dust cover 1 is tightly fixed by a snap ring 16 in a state in which a clamp portion 12 formed at the lower end is closely fitted in a groove 21a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the housing 21, and an inner periphery formed at the upper end portion. The seal lip 13 is in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 232 of the ball stud 23 so as to be slidable in the circumferential direction, and the external seal lip 14 is formed on the lower surface of the flange portion 233 provided on the shaft portion 232 of the ball stud 23. It is closely contacted in the circumferential direction. In this mounted state, the flexible cylindrical portion 11 is appropriately compressed, and the engagement protrusion 114 formed on the upper wall surface 111a of the annular valley 111 and the lower wall surface 111b of the annular valley 111 are formed. The formed engaging recesses 115 are loosely fitted to each other and thereby engaged in the circumferential direction.

このダストカバー1は、ボールジョイント2内への水やダストの浸入を防止すると共に、ボールジョイント2内に封入されたグリース(不図示)の流出を防止するものである。そして図5に示すように、ボール部231を中心とするボールスタッド23の揺動に対して可撓筒部11が屈伸変形することによって追随することができる。   The dust cover 1 prevents water and dust from entering the ball joint 2 and prevents the grease (not shown) sealed in the ball joint 2 from flowing out. As shown in FIG. 5, the flexible cylindrical portion 11 can follow the swing of the ball stud 23 around the ball portion 231 by bending and extending.

また、ボールスタッド23が回動した場合は、このボールスタッド23の軸部232及び鍔部233に対する内周シールリップ13及び外部シールリップ14の滑りを生じる。このとき、ボールスタッド23の軸部232及び鍔部233に対する内周シールリップ13及び外部シールリップ14の摩擦抵抗によって、可撓筒部11には捩れ変形力が作用することになるが、環状谷部111の上側の壁面111aに形成された係合突部114と、環状谷部111の下側の壁面111bに形成された係合凹部115が互いに円周方向に係合しているため、これによって環状谷部111の両側の対向面(壁面111a,111b)間の円周方向相対変位が規制され、したがって可撓筒部11の捩れ変形が有効に抑制される。   Further, when the ball stud 23 rotates, the inner peripheral seal lip 13 and the outer seal lip 14 slide with respect to the shaft portion 232 and the flange portion 233 of the ball stud 23. At this time, a torsional deformation force acts on the flexible cylindrical portion 11 by the frictional resistance of the inner peripheral seal lip 13 and the outer seal lip 14 with respect to the shaft portion 232 and the flange portion 233 of the ball stud 23. Since the engagement protrusion 114 formed on the upper wall surface 111a of the portion 111 and the engagement recess 115 formed on the lower wall surface 111b of the annular valley portion 111 are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction, Thus, the circumferential relative displacement between the opposing surfaces (wall surfaces 111a, 111b) on both sides of the annular valley 111 is restricted, and therefore, the torsional deformation of the flexible cylindrical portion 11 is effectively suppressed.

しかも、このような捩れ変形の抑制は、可撓筒部11の肉厚の増大により得ているものではないため、蛇腹状をなす可撓筒部11の柔軟な追随性が損なわれず、かつ耐疲労性を確保することができる。   Moreover, since the suppression of such twist deformation is not obtained by increasing the thickness of the flexible cylindrical portion 11, the flexible followability of the flexible cylindrical portion 11 having the bellows shape is not impaired, and the Fatigue can be ensured.

なお、図示の例では係合突部114及び係合凹部115は略長方形状となっているが、他の形状、例えば円形や台形などであっても良い。また、図示の例とは逆に、係合凹部115を環状谷部111の上側の壁面111aに形成し、係合突部114を環状谷部111の下側の壁面111bに形成しても、同様の効果を実現することができる。   In the illustrated example, the engagement protrusion 114 and the engagement recess 115 are substantially rectangular, but may be other shapes such as a circle or a trapezoid. Contrary to the illustrated example, the engagement recess 115 is formed on the upper wall surface 111 a of the annular valley 111, and the engagement protrusion 114 is formed on the lower wall surface 111 b of the annular valley 111, Similar effects can be achieved.

次に図6及び図7は、本発明に係るダストカバーの第二の実施の形態を示すものである。この実施の形態のダストカバー1は、環状谷部111の下側の壁面111bに、上述した第一の実施の形態における各係合凹部115に代えて、係合突部114の円周方向両側に隣接する位置と同位相上に位置する各一対の係合突条116,117を形成したもので、その他の部分は第一の実施の形態と同様に構成されている。   Next, FIGS. 6 and 7 show a second embodiment of the dust cover according to the present invention. The dust cover 1 of this embodiment is provided on both sides in the circumferential direction of the engagement protrusion 114 on the lower wall surface 111b of the annular valley 111 instead of the engagement recesses 115 in the first embodiment described above. Each pair of engaging protrusions 116 and 117 is located on the same phase as the position adjacent to the other, and the other parts are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment.

係合突条116,117は円周方向に対して直交する方向へ延びるものであって、図7に示すボールジョイント2への装着状態では、可撓筒部11が適当に圧縮変形されることによって、係合突部114をその円周方向両側から挟むように遊嵌され、これによって係合突部114と係合突条116,117が円周方向に対して互いに係合されるようになっている。   The engaging ridges 116 and 117 extend in a direction orthogonal to the circumferential direction, and the flexible cylindrical portion 11 is appropriately compressed and deformed when mounted on the ball joint 2 shown in FIG. Thus, the engagement protrusion 114 is loosely fitted so as to be sandwiched from both sides in the circumferential direction so that the engagement protrusion 114 and the engagement protrusions 116 and 117 are engaged with each other in the circumferential direction. It has become.

したがって第一の実施の形態と同様、ボールスタッド23が回動したときの内周シールリップ13及び外部シールリップ14の摩擦抵抗によって可撓筒部11に捩れ変形力が作用しても、係合突部114と係合突条116,117の係合によって環状谷部111の両側の対向面(壁面111a,111b)間の円周方向相対変位が規制され、可撓筒部11の捩れ変形が有効に抑制される。   Therefore, as in the first embodiment, even if a torsional deformation force acts on the flexible cylindrical portion 11 due to the frictional resistance of the inner peripheral seal lip 13 and the outer seal lip 14 when the ball stud 23 is rotated, it is engaged. The circumferential relative displacement between the opposing surfaces (wall surfaces 111a, 111b) on both sides of the annular valley 111 is restricted by the engagement of the protrusion 114 and the engaging protrusions 116, 117, and the torsional deformation of the flexible cylindrical portion 11 is prevented. Effectively suppressed.

なお、図示の例とは逆に、係合突条116,117を環状谷部111の上側の壁面111aに形成し、係合突部114を環状谷部111の下側の壁面111bに形成しても同様の効果を実現することができる。   Contrary to the illustrated example, the engaging protrusions 116 and 117 are formed on the upper wall surface 111 a of the annular valley 111, and the engaging protrusion 114 is formed on the lower wall surface 111 b of the annular valley 111. However, the same effect can be realized.

また、上述した各実施の形態では、係合突部114と係合凹部115、あるいは係合突部114と係合突条116,117を可撓筒部11の外側面に形成しているが、これを例えば図4における環状山部112の互いに対向する内面112a,112b及び(又は)環状山部113の互いに対向する内面113a,113bに形成しても、同様の効果を実現することができる。   Further, in each of the above-described embodiments, the engagement protrusion 114 and the engagement recess 115 or the engagement protrusion 114 and the engagement protrusions 116 and 117 are formed on the outer surface of the flexible cylindrical portion 11. Even if this is formed on, for example, the inner surfaces 112a and 112b of the annular ridge 112 opposite to each other and / or the inner surfaces 113a and 113b of the annular ridge 113 opposite to each other in FIG. .
