Description
本発明は、転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器に関し、より詳細には、合成樹脂に補強繊維材が添加されてなる転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器に関する。 The present invention relates to a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing, and more particularly, to a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing obtained by adding a reinforcing fiber material to a synthetic resin.
一般的に、転がり軸受に適用される合成樹脂製保持器は、射出成形により製造される。具体的には、図15に示すように、成形金型内に成形体である保持器に対応する環状のキャビティ140を形成し、このキャビティ140の周縁部に設けた樹脂射出ゲート150から溶解された樹脂材料(熱可塑性樹脂)を注入し、冷却固化することによって保持器が製造される。 Generally, a synthetic resin cage applied to a rolling bearing is manufactured by injection molding. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, an annular cavity 140 corresponding to a cage as a molded body is formed in a molding die, and is melted from a resin injection gate 150 provided at a peripheral portion of the cavity 140. The resin material (thermoplastic resin) is injected and cooled and solidified to manufacture a cage.
キャビティ140に注入された溶解樹脂は、キャビティ140内を周方向両側に二つの流れとなって流動し、樹脂射出ゲート150と径方向に対向する反対側の位置で再び合流し、相互に接合されてウェルド100Wが形成される。一般に、この様に射出成形された樹脂製保持器は、溶解樹脂が融着一体化しただけのものであるため、溶解樹脂の均一な混合が起こらず、ウェルド100Wにおいて強度が低下することがよく知られている。 The melted resin injected into the cavity 140 flows in the cavity 140 as two flows on both sides in the circumferential direction, merges again with the resin injection gate 150 at a position opposite to the radial direction, and is joined to each other. Thus, a weld 100W is formed. In general, since the resin cage molded by injection molding in this way is only one in which the melted resin is fused and integrated, uniform mixing of the melted resin does not occur, and the strength often decreases at a weld of 100 W. Are known.
また、溶解樹脂に、強化材料としてガラス繊維、炭素繊維、金属繊維等の補強繊維材を添加したものでは、ウェルド100Wにおいて補強繊維材が溶解樹脂の流動方向に対し垂直に配向するため、補強効果が発現しない。さらに、ウェルド100W以外の部分では、補強繊維材が溶解樹脂の流動方向に対し平行に配向するため、当該部分とウェルド100Wとの強度差が大きくなってしまう。 Further, in the case where a reinforcing fiber material such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, or metal fiber is added as a reinforcing material to the molten resin, the reinforcing fiber material is oriented perpendicular to the flow direction of the molten resin at 100 W of weld, so that the reinforcing effect is obtained. Does not appear. Further, in a portion other than the weld 100W, the reinforcing fiber material is oriented parallel to the flow direction of the molten resin, so that a difference in strength between the portion and the weld 100W increases.
特許文献1記載の合成樹脂製保持器の製造方法では、キャビティのウェルド位置に一致する位置の内径側に設けられた開口に通じる第1の樹脂溜りと、第1の樹脂溜りに近接して該キャビティに設けられた開口に通じる第2の樹脂溜りと、を備える保持器成形用金型を用いて保持器成形用樹脂組成物を射出成形している。そして、第2の樹脂溜まりの開口と第1の樹脂溜まりの開口との離間距離を保持器のポケットの最大幅以内とし、且つ、第2の樹脂溜まり部の開口面積が第1の樹脂溜まり部の開口面積より小さくしている。これにより、ウェルド近傍での強制的な樹脂の流動を生じさせ、繊維配向を制御することでウェルドの補強効果を高めることを図っている。 In the method for manufacturing a synthetic resin cage described in Patent Literature 1, a first resin reservoir communicating with an opening provided on an inner diameter side at a position corresponding to a weld position of a cavity, and a first resin reservoir adjacent to the first resin reservoir. A cage-forming resin composition is injection-molded using a cage-forming mold having a second resin reservoir communicating with an opening provided in the cavity. The distance between the opening of the second resin reservoir and the opening of the first resin reservoir is within the maximum width of the pocket of the cage, and the opening area of the second resin reservoir is the first resin reservoir. Is smaller than the opening area. As a result, a forced resin flow is caused in the vicinity of the weld, and the reinforcement effect of the weld is enhanced by controlling the fiber orientation.
特許文献2の軸受用樹脂製保持器の製造方法では、キャビティの周縁部には、キャビティ内にウェルド部が形成される前に、溶解樹脂が流入する少なくとも1つの第1樹脂溜まり部と、キャビティ内にウェルド部が形成された後に、溶解樹脂が流入する少なくとも1つの第2樹脂溜まり部と、が設けられる。これにより、第1樹脂溜まり部を設ける位置を適切に設定することによって、ウェルド部の発生位置を制御し、軸受用樹脂製保持器の十分な強度を必要とする部分においてウェルド部の形成を抑制することを図っている。また、ウェルド部が形成された後に溶解樹脂が流入する第2樹脂溜まり部によって、ウェルド部における強化繊維の配向を乱し、ウェルド部の強度を向上することを図っている。 In the method of manufacturing a bearing resin cage of Patent Document 2, at least one first resin reservoir into which a molten resin flows, before the weld portion is formed in the cavity, at the periphery of the cavity, and the cavity. And at least one second resin reservoir into which the melted resin flows after the weld is formed therein. Thus, by appropriately setting the position where the first resin reservoir is provided, the position where the weld is generated is controlled, and the formation of the weld in the portion of the resin cage for bearings that requires sufficient strength is suppressed. I am trying to do it. The second resin reservoir into which the melted resin flows after the weld is formed disturbs the orientation of the reinforcing fibers in the weld, thereby improving the strength of the weld.
特許文献3記載の軸受用保持器の製造方法では、キャビティにおいて、ウェルド位置の周方向両側又はウェルド位置に樹脂溜まり部を設け、溶解樹脂を射出成形している。これにより、ウェルド面に位置する少なくとも一部の補強繊維材をウェルド面に垂直に配向させることで、ウェルド面の接合強度を向上させることを図っている。 In the manufacturing method of the bearing retainer described in Patent Document 3, in the cavity, a resin reservoir is provided at both circumferential sides of the weld position or at the weld position, and the molten resin is injection-molded. Thereby, the bonding strength of the weld surface is improved by orienting at least a part of the reinforcing fiber material located on the weld surface perpendicular to the weld surface.
特許文献1記載の製造方法では、ウェルド位置と一致する部分に第1の樹脂溜まりを設けているため、第1の樹脂溜まりの開口部近傍で補強繊維材が流動方向に対し垂直に配向しやすく、補強効果が十分には得られない。 In the manufacturing method described in Patent Literature 1, the first resin pool is provided in a portion coinciding with the weld position, so that the reinforcing fiber material is easily oriented perpendicular to the flow direction near the opening of the first resin pool. In addition, a sufficient reinforcing effect cannot be obtained.
特許文献2記載の軸受用樹脂製保持器の製造方法では、各樹脂射出ゲートの間の領域に、第1及び第2樹脂溜まり部を設けているので、溶解樹脂の材料コストが高くなるという問題がある。 In the method for manufacturing a resin cage for a bearing described in Patent Literature 2, since the first and second resin reservoirs are provided in a region between the resin injection gates, the material cost of the molten resin increases. There is.
特許文献3記載の製造方法では、ウェルドの周方向両側に樹脂溜まり部を設置した場合には、ウェルド近傍における溶解樹脂の圧力勾配が小さくなるため、強制的な樹脂の流動を起こす効果が小さくなってしまう。また、ウェルド位置に樹脂溜まり部を設けた場合には、樹脂溜まり部の開口部近傍で補強繊維材が流動方向に対し垂直に配向しやすいため、補強効果が十分には得られない。 In the manufacturing method described in Patent Literature 3, when resin pools are provided on both sides in the circumferential direction of the weld, the pressure gradient of the melted resin in the vicinity of the weld is reduced, so that the effect of forcibly causing the flow of the resin is reduced. Would. Further, when the resin pool is provided at the weld position, the reinforcing fiber material is easily oriented perpendicular to the flow direction in the vicinity of the opening of the resin pool, so that a sufficient reinforcing effect cannot be obtained.
本発明は、前述した課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、ウェルド部における強度補強効果を高めることができる転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing that can enhance the strength reinforcing effect at a weld portion.

本発明の転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器によれば、保持器に形成されるウェルド部において、補強繊維材の長手方向の向きは、円周方向に対して45°以内の角度で配向するので、補強繊維材によりウェルド部の補強効果を高めることができる。これによって、合成樹脂製保持器の各部の強度が均一となり、合成樹脂製保持器の耐久性や信頼性が向上する。 According to the synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing of the present invention, in the weld portion formed in the cage, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material is oriented at an angle within 45 ° with respect to the circumferential direction.

As a result, the joining strength of the weld portion can be improved.
以下、本発明の各実施形態に係る転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing according to each embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(第1実施形態)
図1に示すように、本実施形態の転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器10(以後、単に保持器と呼ぶことがある。)は、所謂、冠形保持器であり、略円環状の基部11と、基部11の軸方向一端側面12から、周方向に所定間隔で軸方向に突出する複数(本実施形態では13個であるが、特に13個には限定されない)の柱部20と、を備え、隣り合う一対の柱部20、20の互いに対向する面22、22と、基部11の軸方向一端側面12とによって、軸受の転動体(不図示)を保持する複数(本実施形態では13個)のポケット30が画成されている。即ち、柱部20とポケット30は、同数であり、柱部20はそれぞれのポケット30の周方向両側に設けられている。
(1st Embodiment)
As shown in FIG. 1, a synthetic resin cage 10 for a rolling bearing of the present embodiment (hereinafter, may be simply referred to as a cage) is a so-called crown-shaped cage, and has a substantially annular base 11. And a plurality of (three in the present embodiment, but not particularly limited to thirteen) pillar portions 20 protruding in the axial direction at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction from one axial side surface 12 of the base portion 11. A plurality (13 in this embodiment) of which a rolling element (not shown) of the bearing is held by surfaces 22, 22 of a pair of adjacent pillars 20, 20 facing each other and one side surface 12 in the axial direction of the base 11. ) Pockets 30 are defined. That is, the number of the pillar portions 20 and the number of the pockets 30 are the same, and the pillar portions 20 are provided on both circumferential sides of each pocket 30.
本実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10は、成形金型に形成した環状のキャビティ(不図示)内に、略円筒状のスプルー55及びランナー53を介して、1つのゲート51(所謂、一点ゲート方式)から補強繊維材Fを添加した溶解樹脂Gを射出し、冷却固化することによって成形されている。 The synthetic resin cage 10 of the present embodiment includes a single gate 51 (so-called one-point gate) in an annular cavity (not shown) formed in a molding die via a substantially cylindrical sprue 55 and a runner 53. ), The molten resin G to which the reinforcing fiber material F is added is injected, and the resin is cooled and solidified.
ゲート51は、柱部20に対応する位置、すなわち、柱部20と周方向にオーバーラップする位置に配置されている。また、キャビティには、ゲート51と径方向に対向する位置から周方向に数えて一番目の柱部20(ウェルド部Wが形成されるポケット30に隣接する柱部20)の外周面に、溶解樹脂Gを貯留可能な樹脂溜り40が設けられている。なお、樹脂溜り40の位置は、樹脂溜り40とウェルド部Wとの間の周方向距離L1が、樹脂溜り40とゲート51との間の周方向距離L2よりも短く設定されていればよく、特に一番目の柱部20に限定されない。これにより、溶解樹脂Gが合流した後でウェルド部Wにおける強制的な溶解樹脂Gの流動が起こりやすくなる。 The gate 51 is arranged at a position corresponding to the pillar 20, that is, at a position overlapping the pillar 20 in the circumferential direction. In addition, the cavity is formed by dissolving the outer peripheral surface of the first columnar portion 20 (the columnar portion 20 adjacent to the pocket 30 in which the weld portion W is formed) counted in the circumferential direction from the position radially opposed to the gate 51. A resin reservoir 40 capable of storing the resin G is provided. Note that the position of the resin reservoir 40 may be set such that the circumferential distance L1 between the resin reservoir 40 and the weld portion W is set shorter than the circumferential distance L2 between the resin reservoir 40 and the gate 51. In particular, it is not limited to the first pillar portion 20. This makes it easy for the forcible flow of the molten resin G to occur in the weld portion W after the molten resin G has joined.
また、樹脂溜り40の連通部42の断面積(保持器1に残る樹脂溜り連通部跡の断面積)は、ゲート51の断面積(保持器1に残るゲート跡の断面積)の1/4以下に設定されるのが望ましい。これは、溶解樹脂Gが合流する前の状態では、図2に示すように、樹脂溜り40への溶解樹脂Gの流入が起こらず、溶解樹脂Gが合流してウェルド部Wが形成された後で樹脂溜り40への溶解樹脂Gの流入が始まるので、ウェルド部Wにおける強制的な溶解樹脂Gの流動によって補強繊維材Fの配向を制御する効果が、より確実に発現する。
The cross-sectional area of the communicating portion 42 of the resin reservoir 40 (the cross-sectional area of the trace of the residual resin reservoir in the retainer 1) is) of the cross-sectional area of the gate 51 (the cross-sectional area of the trace of the gate remaining in the retainer 1). It is desirable to set the following. This is because, before the molten resin G joins, as shown in FIG. 2, the molten resin G does not flow into the resin reservoir 40, and after the molten resin G joins and the weld portion W is formed. Then, the flow of the melted resin G into the resin reservoir 40 starts, so that the effect of controlling the orientation of the reinforcing fiber material F by the forced flow of the melted resin G in the weld portion W is more reliably exhibited.
保持器10の樹脂材料としては、例えば、46ナイロンや66ナイロンなどのポリアミド系樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリフェニレンサルファイド(PPS)、ポリエーテルエーテルケトン(PEEK)、ポリエーテルニトリル(PEN)、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)等の合成樹脂に、10〜50wt%の補強繊維材F(例えば、ガラス繊維や炭素繊維)を添加した樹脂組成物が用いられる。 Examples of the resin material of the cage 10 include polyamide resins such as nylon 46 and nylon 66, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyether nitrile (PEN), and polyethylene terephthalate ( A resin composition obtained by adding 10 to 50 wt% of a reinforcing fiber material F (for example, glass fiber or carbon fiber) to a synthetic resin such as PET (PET) is used.
図2及び図3も参照して、ゲート51からキャビティ内に射出された補強繊維材Fを含む溶解樹脂Gは、周方向両側に分かれて流動して両側の溶融樹脂が互いに近づき(図3(a))、ゲート51が設けられた柱部20と径方向に対向するポケット30の底部において互いに接合してウェルド部Wを形成する(図3(b))。溶解樹脂Gが合流してウェルド部Wが形成された後、溶解樹脂Gは樹脂溜り40に流入する。このため、ウェルド部Wと樹脂溜り40との間に溶解樹脂Gの圧力勾配が生じ、この圧力勾配に起因して溶解樹脂Gが、樹脂溜り40方向に強制に流動する(図3(c))。そして、ウェルド部Wにおいては、一方の樹脂の中央部が、他方の樹脂に入り込んだ状態で冷却固化して合成樹脂製保持器10が形成される。したがって、図3(d)に示すように、ウェルド部Wは、その中央部が該ウェルド部Wの外面Waの位置から円周方向にずれるように凹凸形状に形成される。また、ウェルド部Wの凹凸形状は、断面形状において、複数の円弧によって形成される。 Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3 as well, molten resin G containing reinforcing fiber material F injected into the cavity from gate 51 is divided into two sides in the circumferential direction and flows, and the molten resins on both sides approach each other (FIG. a)), the pillar portion 20 provided with the gate 51 and the bottom portion of the pocket 30 radially opposed to each other are joined to each other to form a weld portion W (FIG. 3B). After the molten resin G joins to form a weld W, the molten resin G flows into the resin reservoir 40. For this reason, a pressure gradient of the molten resin G is generated between the weld portion W and the resin reservoir 40, and the molten resin G is forced to flow toward the resin reservoir 40 due to the pressure gradient (FIG. 3C). ). Then, in the weld portion W, the central portion of one resin is cooled and solidified in a state where it enters the other resin, and the synthetic resin cage 10 is formed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3D, the weld portion W is formed in an uneven shape such that the central portion thereof is shifted in the circumferential direction from the position of the outer surface Wa of the weld portion W. Further, the uneven shape of the weld portion W is formed by a plurality of arcs in the cross-sectional shape.
このようなウェルド部Wにおける溶解樹脂Gの強制的な流動によって、ウェルド部Wの補強繊維材Fの配向が制御される。即ち、図4に示すように、ウェルド部W(具体的には、少なくともウェルド部Wが存在する円周方向範囲)において、補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きは、円周方向に対して45°以内の角度αで配向され、補強繊維材Fによってウェルド部Wの強度が効果的に強化される。これにより、合成樹脂製保持器10の耐久性や信頼性が向上する。 The forced flow of the melted resin G in the weld W controls the orientation of the reinforcing fiber material F in the weld W. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in the weld portion W (specifically, at least in the circumferential direction area where the weld portion W exists), the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F is 45 degrees with respect to the circumferential direction. The reinforcing fiber material F effectively enhances the strength of the weld portion W. Thereby, the durability and reliability of the synthetic resin cage 10 are improved.
特に、本実施形態では、薄肉となるポケット30の底部(柱部20が位置しない基部11の部分)にウェルド部Wが設けられているので、上記のように補強繊維材Fが配向することで、ウェルド部Wが設けられたポケット30における耐久性や信頼性が向上する。 Particularly, in the present embodiment, since the weld portion W is provided at the bottom of the thin pocket 30 (the portion of the base portion 11 where the pillar portion 20 is not located), the reinforcing fiber material F is oriented as described above. In addition, durability and reliability of the pocket 30 provided with the weld portion W are improved.
なお、本実施形態では、ウェルド部において、円周方向に対して45°以内の角度αで配向する補強繊維材Fの割合が、50%以上存在することで、ウェルド部Wにおいて十分な強度を得ることができる。 In the present embodiment, when the proportion of the reinforcing fiber material F oriented at an angle α of 45 ° or less with respect to the circumferential direction in the weld portion is 50% or more, sufficient strength in the weld portion W is obtained. Obtainable.
図5は、第1実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10と比較するための第1比較例の合成樹脂製保持器10Aの平面図である。第1比較例の合成樹脂製保持器10Aでは、樹脂溜りを有しないキャビティ内に、1つのゲート51から補強繊維材Fを含む溶解樹脂Gが射出されて形成される。この場合、ウェルド部Wは、ゲート51が設けられた柱部20と径方向に対向するポケット30の底部において半径方向に沿って形成される。そして、図6に示すように、ウェルド部Wにおける補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きは、円周方向に対して45°より大きな角度β、即ち、ウェルド部Wの半径方向に沿うように配向される補強繊維材Fの割合が多くなり、ウェルド部Wの補強効果が小さく、ウェルド部W以外の部位と比較して強度が低下している。 FIG. 5 is a plan view of a synthetic resin cage 10A of a first comparative example for comparison with the synthetic resin cage 10 of the first embodiment. In the synthetic resin cage 10A of the first comparative example, a molten resin G containing a reinforcing fiber material F is injected from one gate 51 into a cavity having no resin reservoir. In this case, the weld portion W is formed along the radial direction at the bottom of the pocket 30 radially facing the pillar portion 20 provided with the gate 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F in the weld portion W is oriented at an angle β larger than 45 ° with respect to the circumferential direction, that is, along the radial direction of the weld portion W. The ratio of the reinforcing fiber material F to be used increases, the reinforcing effect of the weld portion W is small, and the strength is lower than that of the portion other than the weld portion W.
以上説明したように、本実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10によれば、保持器10に形成されるウェルド部Wにおいて、補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きが、円周方向に対して45°以内の角度αで配向しているので、ウェルド部Wの補強効果を高めることができる。これにより、合成樹脂製保持器10の各部の強度が均一となり、合成樹脂製保持器10の耐久性や信頼性を向上させることができる。 As described above, according to the synthetic resin cage 10 of the present embodiment, in the weld portion W formed in the cage 10, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F is set at 45 degrees with respect to the circumferential direction. Since it is oriented at an angle α within °, the reinforcing effect of the weld portion W can be enhanced. Thereby, the strength of each part of the synthetic resin cage 10 becomes uniform, and the durability and reliability of the synthetic resin cage 10 can be improved.
また、合成樹脂製保持器10に形成されるウェルド部Wは、その中央部が該ウェルド部Wの外面Waの位置から円周方向にずれるように凹凸形状に形成されるので、凹凸によりウェルド部Wにおける溶融樹脂の接触面積が増加して、ウェルド部Wの接合強度を向上させることができる。 In addition, the weld portion W formed in the synthetic resin cage 10 is formed in an uneven shape such that the center portion thereof is shifted in the circumferential direction from the position of the outer surface Wa of the weld portion W. The contact area of the molten resin at W increases, and the joining strength of weld portion W can be improved.

次に、図7及び図8を参照して、本発明の第2実施形態に係る転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器について説明する。なお、第1実施形態と同一又は同等部分については、図面に同一符号を付してその説明を省略或いは簡略化する。
(2nd Embodiment)
Next, a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. In addition, about the same or equivalent part as 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to drawing and the description is abbreviate | omitted or simplified.
図7に示すように、本実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Bは、成形金型に形成した環状のキャビティ(不図示)内に、略円筒状のスプルー55及びランナー53を介して、3つのゲート51(所謂、三点ゲート方式)から補強繊維材Fを添加した溶解樹脂Gを射出し、冷却固化することによって成形される。 As shown in FIG. 7, the synthetic resin cage 10B of this embodiment includes three cylindrical sprues 55 and runners 53 in an annular cavity (not shown) formed in a molding die. The molten resin G to which the reinforcing fiber material F is added is injected from a gate 51 (a so-called three-point gate method), and is formed by cooling and solidifying.
3つのゲート51は、各ゲート51間に配置されるポケット30の数が互いに等しくなるように(図に示す実施形態ではそれぞれ5個)配置されている。3個のゲート51は、それぞれ柱部20の周方向中央に設けられている。また、ゲート51が設けられた柱部20から時計方向に2つ目の柱部20の周方向中央には、それぞれ溶解樹脂Gを貯留可能な樹脂溜り40が設けられる。 The three gates 51 are arranged such that the number of pockets 30 arranged between the gates 51 is equal to each other (five in the embodiment shown in the figure). The three gates 51 are provided at the center of the pillar portion 20 in the circumferential direction, respectively. Further, at the center in the circumferential direction of the second pillar portion 20 clockwise from the pillar portion 20 provided with the gate 51, a resin reservoir 40 capable of storing the molten resin G is provided.
3つのゲート51からキャビティ内に射出された溶解樹脂Gは、隣り合うゲート51の周方向中央位置するポケット30において合流し、ウェルド部Wが形成される。ウェルド部Wが形成されるポケット30を画成する一方の柱部20の周方向中央には、樹脂溜り40が設けられるので、ウェルド部W形成位置と樹脂溜り40配置位置とが周方向にずれ、ウェルド部Wと樹脂溜り40との間に圧力勾配が生じ、ウェルド部Wから樹脂溜り40に向かって溶解樹脂Gの強制的な流動が発生する。 The melted resin G injected into the cavity from the three gates 51 joins in the pocket 30 located at the center in the circumferential direction of the adjacent gates 51 to form a weld W. The resin pool 40 is provided at the center in the circumferential direction of one of the pillars 20 defining the pocket 30 in which the weld W is formed. Therefore, the position where the weld W is formed and the position where the resin pool 40 is arranged are shifted in the circumferential direction. Then, a pressure gradient is generated between the weld portion W and the resin reservoir 40, and a forced flow of the molten resin G from the weld portion W toward the resin reservoir 40 occurs.
これにより、ウェルド部Wの補強繊維材Fの配向が制御され、補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きは、第1実施形態の図3に示すものと同様に、円周方向に対して45°以内の角度αで配向される。これにより、合成樹脂製保持器10の耐久性や信頼性が向上する。また、ウェルド部Wにおける補強繊維材Fの乱れた領域が、断面積の広い部分に移動するため、ウェルド部Wの強度が、より向上する。
また、第1実施形態と同様に、ウェルド部Wは、その中央部が該ウェルド部Wの外面Waの位置から円周方向にずれるように凹凸形状に形成される。
Thereby, the orientation of the reinforcing fiber material F in the weld portion W is controlled, and the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F is 45 ° with respect to the circumferential direction, similarly to the one shown in FIG. 3 of the first embodiment. At an angle α within. Thereby, the durability and reliability of the synthetic resin cage 10 are improved. Moreover, since the disordered region of the reinforcing fiber material F in the weld portion W moves to a portion having a large cross-sectional area, the strength of the weld portion W is further improved.
Further, similarly to the first embodiment, the weld portion W is formed in an uneven shape such that the center portion is displaced in the circumferential direction from the position of the outer surface Wa of the weld portion W.
図8は、第2実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Bと比較するための第2比較例の合成樹脂製保持器10Cの平面図である。第2比較例の合成樹脂製保持器10Cでは、樹脂溜りを有しないキャビティ内に、第2実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Bと同様に配置された3つのゲート51から補強繊維材Fを含む溶解樹脂Gが射出されて形成される。この場合、ウェルド部Wは、隣り合うゲート51の周方向中央位置するポケット30の底部において形成される。そして、第1実施形態の図10に示すものと同様に、ウェルド部Wにおける補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きは、円周方向に対して45°より大きい角度β、即ち、半径方向に沿うように配向され、補強繊維材Fによるウェルド部Wの補強効果が小さく、ウェルド部W以外の部位と比較して強度が低下している。 FIG. 8 is a plan view of a synthetic resin cage 10C of a second comparative example for comparison with the synthetic resin cage 10B of the second embodiment. In the synthetic resin cage 10C of the second comparative example, the reinforcing fiber material F is included in the cavity having no resin reservoir from the three gates 51 arranged similarly to the synthetic resin cage 10B of the second embodiment. The molten resin G is formed by injection. In this case, the weld portion W is formed at the bottom of the pocket 30 located at the center in the circumferential direction of the adjacent gate 51. Then, similarly to the one shown in FIG. 10 of the first embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F in the weld portion W is along the angle β larger than 45 ° with respect to the circumferential direction, that is, along the radial direction. Thus, the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing fiber material F on the weld portion W is small, and the strength is lower than that of the portion other than the weld portion W.
以上説明したように、本実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Bによれば、ウェルド部Wにおいて、補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きが、円周方向に対して45°以内の角度αで配向するので、ウェルド部Wの補強効果を高めることができ、合成樹脂製保持器10Bの各部の強度が均一となり、合成樹脂製保持器10Bの耐久性や信頼性を向上させることができる。
その他の構成及び作用効果については、上記第1実施形態と同様である。
As described above, according to the synthetic resin cage 10B of the present embodiment, in the weld portion W, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F is oriented at an angle α within 45 ° with respect to the circumferential direction. Therefore, the reinforcing effect of the weld portion W can be enhanced, the strength of each part of the synthetic resin cage 10B becomes uniform, and the durability and reliability of the synthetic resin cage 10B can be improved.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.
(第3実施形態)
次に、図9〜図12を参照して、本発明に係る転がり軸受用合成樹脂製保持器の第3実施形態について説明する。なお、第1実施形態と同一又は同等部分については、図面に同一符号を付してその説明を省略或いは簡略化する。
(Third embodiment)
Next, a third embodiment of a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the same or equivalent part as 1st Embodiment, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to drawing and the description is abbreviate | omitted or simplified.
図9及び図10は、第3実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器の平面図、及びウェルド部における補強繊維材の配向を示す図9のX部拡大図である。 9 and 10 are a plan view of the synthetic resin cage of the third embodiment and an enlarged view of the X part of FIG. 9 showing the orientation of the reinforcing fiber material at the weld.
図9に示すように、本実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Dは、所謂、くし形保持器であり、略円環状の基部11Aと、基部11Aの軸方向一端側面12Aから、周方向に所定間隔で軸方向に突出する複数(本実施形態では26個)の柱部20Aと、を備え、隣り合う一対の柱部20A、20Aの互いに対向する面22A、22Aと、基部11Aの軸方向一端側面12Aとによって、軸受の転動体(不図示)を保持する複数(本実施形態では26個)のポケット30Aが画成されている。すなわち、柱部20Aとポケット30Aは同数であり、柱部20Aはそれぞれのポケット30Aの周方向両側に設けられる。 As shown in FIG. 9, the synthetic resin cage 10D of the present embodiment is a so-called comb-shaped cage, and a predetermined shape is provided in the circumferential direction from a substantially annular base 11A and one axial side surface 12A of the base 11A. A plurality of (in the present embodiment, 26) pillar portions 20A protruding in the axial direction at intervals, and mutually facing surfaces 22A, 22A of a pair of adjacent pillar portions 20A, 20A, and one axial end of the base 11A. The side surface 12A defines a plurality (26 in the present embodiment) of pockets 30A that hold rolling elements (not shown) of the bearing. That is, the number of the pillar portions 20A and the number of the pockets 30A are the same, and the pillar portions 20A are provided on both circumferential sides of each pocket 30A.
26個の柱部20Aのうち、半数である13個の柱部20Aには、それぞれゲート51が設けられる。13個のゲート51のうち、1個のゲート51は、キャビティに開口する断面積が最も大きい大径ゲート51aであり、他のゲート51は、該断面積が中程度の中径ゲート51bと、該断面積が最も小さい小径ゲート51cとからなり、中径ゲート51bと小径ゲート51cとが、周方向に交互に配置される。また、ゲート51が設けられない複数の柱部20Aのうち、大径ゲート51aが設けられた柱部20Aと径方向に対向する柱部20Aに、溶解樹脂を貯留可能な樹脂溜り40が設けられている。樹脂溜り40の連通部42の断面積は、小径ゲート51cの断面積より小さく設定されている。 A gate 51 is provided on each of the thirteen pillar portions 20A, which is half of the 26 pillar portions 20A. Of the thirteen gates 51, one gate 51 is a large-diameter gate 51a having the largest cross-sectional area opened to the cavity, and the other gates 51 are a medium-diameter gate 51b having a medium cross-sectional area, The small-diameter gate 51c has the smallest cross-sectional area, and the medium-diameter gate 51b and the small-diameter gate 51c are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction. Further, of the plurality of pillar portions 20A where the gate 51 is not provided, a resin reservoir 40 capable of storing the melted resin is provided in the pillar portion 20A which is radially opposed to the pillar portion 20A where the large-diameter gate 51a is provided. ing. The cross-sectional area of the communicating portion 42 of the resin reservoir 40 is set smaller than the cross-sectional area of the small-diameter gate 51c.
このような合成樹脂製保持器10Dによれば、キャビティ内の圧力は、大径ゲート51aから樹脂溜り40に向かうにしたがって低くなり、キャビティ内に圧力勾配が生じ、圧力の高い大径ゲート51aから、圧力の低い樹脂溜り40に向かって、溶解樹脂Gの流動が発生する。この溶解樹脂Gの流動により、溶解樹脂Gの合流時にいったん流動方向(周方向)に対し垂直(径方向)に配向していた補強繊維材Fの配向が制御され、図10に示すように、補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きが不規則に配向されて、半径方向や軸方向を向くものが少なくなり、ウェルド部Wの強度低下を抑制することができる。 According to such a synthetic resin retainer 10D, the pressure in the cavity decreases from the large-diameter gate 51a toward the resin reservoir 40, a pressure gradient is generated in the cavity, and the pressure increases from the large-diameter gate 51a. Then, the flow of the melted resin G occurs toward the resin reservoir 40 having a low pressure. By the flow of the molten resin G, the orientation of the reinforcing fiber material F, which was once oriented perpendicularly (radially) to the flow direction (circumferential direction) at the time of the merged molten resin G, is controlled, and as shown in FIG. The longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F is irregularly oriented, and the number of the reinforcing fiber material F oriented in the radial direction or the axial direction is reduced, and a decrease in the strength of the weld portion W can be suppressed.
さらに本実施形態では、一部のウェルド部Wにおいて、樹脂溜り40に向かって流路断面積が拡大する方向に溶解樹脂Gの強制的な流動が発生する。したがって、図3(d)と同様に、ウェルド部Wは、その中央部が該ウェルド部Wの外面Waの位置から円周方向にずれるように凹凸形状に形成されるので、凹凸によりウェルド部Wにおける溶融樹脂の接触面積が増加して、ウェルド部Wの接合強度を向上させることができる。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, in some welds W, the forced flow of the molten resin G occurs in the direction in which the cross-sectional area of the flow path increases toward the resin reservoir 40. Therefore, similarly to FIG. 3 (d), the weld portion W is formed in an uneven shape such that the center thereof is shifted in the circumferential direction from the position of the outer surface Wa of the weld portion W. , The contact area of the molten resin increases, and the joining strength of the weld portion W can be improved.
図11は、第3実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Dと比較するための第3比較例の合成樹脂製保持器10Eの平面図である。第3比較例の合成樹脂製保持器10Eでは、樹脂溜りを有しないキャビティ内に、1個おきの柱部20Aに開口する、該開口の断面積が一様の13個のゲート51から補強繊維材Fを含む溶解樹脂Gが射出されて形成される。この場合、ウェルド部Wは、隣り合うゲート51の周方向中央位置する柱部20Aにおいて形成される。そして、図12に示すように、ウェルド部Wにおける補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きは、半径方向や軸方向に配向しているものが多くなって、補強繊維材Fによるウェルド部Wの補強効果が小さく、ウェルド部W以外の部位と比較して強度が低下している。 FIG. 11 is a plan view of a synthetic resin cage 10E of a third comparative example for comparison with the synthetic resin cage 10D of the third embodiment. In the synthetic resin retainer 10E of the third comparative example, the reinforcing fibers are formed from thirteen gates 51, each having a uniform cross-sectional area, that are opened to every other column 20A in a cavity having no resin reservoir. The molten resin G containing the material F is injected and formed. In this case, the weld portion W is formed in the pillar portion 20A located at the center in the circumferential direction of the adjacent gate 51. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F in the weld portion W is often oriented in the radial direction or the axial direction, and the reinforcement of the weld portion W by the reinforcing fiber material F is increased. The effect is small, and the strength is lower than that of the portion other than the weld portion W.
以上説明したように、本実施形態の合成樹脂製保持器10Dによれば、合成樹脂製保持器10Dに形成されるウェルド部Wにおいて、補強繊維材Fの長手方向の向きは、不規則に配向されるので、補強繊維材Fによりウェルド部Wの補強効果を高めることができる。
その他の構成及び作用効果については、上記第1実施形態と同様である。
As described above, according to the synthetic resin cage 10D of the present embodiment, in the weld portion W formed in the synthetic resin cage 10D, the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing fiber material F is irregularly oriented. Therefore, the reinforcing effect of the weld portion W can be enhanced by the reinforcing fiber material F.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.
尚、本発明は、前述した各実施形態に限定されるものではなく、適宜、変形、改良、等が可能である。
例えば、合成樹脂製保持器10は、冠形保持器、くし形保持器のいずれであってもよく、同様の効果を奏する。また、ゲート51の数、ポケット30の数、樹脂溜り40の数は、図に示す数量に限定されない。また、ウェルド部の位置は、ポケット30の底部であってもよいし、柱部20であってもよく、任意である。
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications, improvements, and the like can be made as appropriate.
For example, the synthetic resin cage 10 may be either a crown cage or a comb cage, and has the same effect. Further, the number of gates 51, the number of pockets 30, and the number of resin reservoirs 40 are not limited to the numbers shown in the drawing. Further, the position of the weld may be the bottom of the pocket 30 or the column 20 and is arbitrary.
また、本発明の合成樹脂製保持器10は、強度低下が少なく耐久性に優れるため、転がり軸受に適用することが好適である。すなわち、このような転がり軸受は、内輪と、外輪と、内輪及び外輪との間に設けられた複数の転動体と、転動体をポケットに転動自在に保持し、耐久性に優れる軸受用保持器と、を備えるので、高速回転や高負荷等の要求を満たすことが可能である。 In addition, the synthetic resin cage 10 of the present invention is suitable for rolling bearings since it has little strength reduction and excellent durability. That is, such a rolling bearing has an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements provided between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a rolling element that is rotatably held in a pocket, and has excellent durability. , It is possible to satisfy demands such as high-speed rotation and high load.
図13は、合成樹脂製保持器の変形例のウェルド部を示す断面図であり、ウェルド部Wの中央部が、複数の凹凸形状に形成されて入り組んで形成されてもよい。これにより、ウェルド部Wにおける溶融樹脂の接触面積が増加して、より接合強度を高めることができる。 FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing a weld portion of a modified example of the synthetic resin cage. The central portion of the weld portion W may be formed in a plurality of uneven shapes and formed in a complicated manner. Thereby, the contact area of the molten resin in weld portion W is increased, and the bonding strength can be further increased.
図14は、合成樹脂製保持器の他の変形例のウェルド部を示す断面図であり、ポケット30の底部にウェルド部Wが設けられる場合において、ウェルド部Wの円周方向長さLが肉厚t(径方向長さ)または軸方向長さよりも長く形成されることで、溶融樹脂の接触面積が増加して、より接合強度を高めることができる。 FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing a weld portion of another modified example of the synthetic resin cage. In the case where the weld portion W is provided at the bottom of the pocket 30, the circumferential length L of the weld portion W is thin. By being formed longer than the thickness t (the length in the radial direction) or the length in the axial direction, the contact area of the molten resin increases, and the joining strength can be further increased.
