Definitions
- the present invention relates to a ball arrangement method and a ball arrangement apparatus for ball bearings, and a ball bearing manufactured by the ball arrangement method.
- the ball bearing assembly process includes a ball arrangement process in which balls are inserted into a gap space between the outer ring and the inner ring and then the inserted balls are arranged at equal intervals.
- Examples of the ball arrangement process include the following four techniques.
- (1) Hand assembly A method of moving balls using bamboo skewers. Since the balls are positioned by visual observation, it is difficult to accurately divide the balls at equal intervals.
- Air ball separation As described in Patent Document 2, this is a method of arranging balls at equal intervals by jetting or sucking air. Ball collection is not required, but expensive nozzles for air ejection and suction are required.
- Magnetic ball separation As described in Patent Document 3, by applying a magnetic field to the raceway space by bringing a magnet close to the raceway space between the inner and outer rings, a magnetic repulsion force is applied to each adjacent ball.
- the ball splitting method is adopted as an automatic ball splitting method that is relatively inexpensive and suitable for mass production.
- FIGS. 17A to 17E show the manner of ball division by the ball division arrow 111 step by step.
- the tip arrow 113 is inserted between the first ball 115 and the second ball 117 at the extreme end from the preparation state of FIG. 17A, as shown in FIG.
- the slope of 113 will push all the balls after the second. Therefore, the arrow 113 at the tip rubs the second ball 117 with a large force.
- FIGS. 17C to 17E the number of balls pushed by the arrow decreases as the ball division progresses. Therefore, the ball is most easily damaged in the initial stage of ball division.
- the ball division arrow is a component that requires surface hardness and high dimensional accuracy to withstand friction, and has a high processing cost. Moreover, since the ball splitting arrow is a dedicated part required for each bearing name number, many types of ball splitting arrows are required. In addition, when a ball division mistake as described above occurs, the ball division arrow may be damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to always prepare spare parts, which increases the manufacturing cost of the bearing. In particular, when producing a ball-separating arrow for a bearing name number having a large number of balls, each arrow becomes thin and long, so that the strength of the arrow is reduced and the ball tends to break.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned matters, and without using an expensive jig, prevents the occurrence of ball scratches and ball splitting, and can reduce the manufacturing cost, It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball arrangement device and a ball bearing manufactured by this ball arrangement method.

- the ball bearing is a double row ball bearing having a first ball row and a second ball row, (1) to (6), wherein the balls of the first ball row and the balls of the second ball row overlapping in the axial direction are simultaneously held by the ball holding mechanism and moved along the pitch circle.
- the ball arrangement method of the ball bearing according to any one of the above.
- a ball arraying device for ball bearings in which a plurality of balls inserted in a gap space between an outer ring raceway surface and an inner ring raceway surface of a ball bearing are arranged at equal intervals along a pitch circle, A bearing support for supporting the ball bearing; A ball holding mechanism for detachably holding any ball in the gap space; A robot arm provided with the ball holding mechanism at the tip, A controller that drives the robot arm and the ball holding mechanism based on a control program; With The control unit causes the ball holding mechanism to hold any ball in the gap space, and moves the ball held by the robot arm to a target arrangement position of each ball having the equal interval.

Abstract
Description
(1)手組み:竹串などを使って玉を移動させる手法である。玉の位置決めを目視により行うため、正確に等間隔に分けることは困難となる。
(2)玉分け矢:特許文献1に記載されるように、軸方向長さが異なる作業矢が玉軸受の玉のピッチ円上に沿って複数突設された櫛歯状の玉分け治具を内外輪間の隙間領域に挿入することで、玉を等間隔に配列させる手法である。最初に複数の玉を円周方向の一つの領域に集める玉集めが必要となる。また、玉数が多くなると図16に示すような玉分け矢111の軸長を長くする必要があり、その場合、玉分け矢は製作が難しく高価となる。
(3)エア玉分け:特許文献2に記載されるように、エアの噴出や吸引により玉を等間隔に配列させる手法である。玉集めは不要になるが、エアの噴出や吸引のための高価なノズルが必要となる。
(4)磁気玉分け:特許文献3に記載されるように、内外輪間の軌道面空間に磁石を近接させて軌道面空間に磁界を与えることにより、隣接する玉間のそれぞれに磁気反発力を生じさせて、玉を等間隔に配列させる手法である。玉集めは不要になるが、強力な磁石が必要となる。
上記各手法のうち、エア玉分けや磁気玉分けは高価な専用治工具が必要となることから一般的には用いられていない。現状では、玉分け矢方式が比較的安価で大量生産に適した自動玉分け方法として採用されている。
(I)玉傷
玉分け矢による玉分けする際、矢の斜面で玉を押すときに玉の表面が傷付いたり、塵埃や異物が付着したりすることがある。特に薄肉軸受のように玉数が多い軸受名番では、玉分けの初期段階で玉分け矢が多数の玉を押して移動させるため、大きな力で玉分け矢を押す必要がある。その結果、玉が矢の斜面に強く擦られて玉が傷付きやすくなる。図17(A)~(E)に玉分け矢111による玉分けの様子を段階的に示す。図17(A)の準備状態から、図17(B)に示すように、先端の矢113が最端部の1個目の玉115と2個目の玉117との間に挿入されると、先端の矢113の斜面が2個目以降の玉を全て押すことになる。そのため、先端の矢113は2個目の玉117を大きな力で擦ることになる。その後は、図17(C)~(E)に示すように、玉分けが進むにつれて矢が押す玉の数が減少する。よって、玉分けの初期が最も玉が傷付き易くなる。
軸受製造のサイクルタイムを短縮させるために玉分け矢111の移動速度を速めること、又は、軌道輪や玉に付着した防錆油の量(乾燥状態)に応じて玉分け矢111が玉列を押して移動させる際の抵抗が低下すること等によって、玉の移動速度が過大になることがある。その場合、玉分け矢の上昇タイミングと玉の位置がずれてしまう。図18(A)に示す準備状態から、図18(B)に示すように2個目以降の玉が押されると、図18(C)に示すように、2個目以降の玉が先走りする。その結果、玉分け矢111と玉とが衝突して玉分けミスが発生する。このような問題があるため、玉分け矢111の移動速度には上限があり、サイクルタイムの更なる短縮は難しい。
玉分けミス、玉分け矢による玉傷は表1に示すように、玉数が多いほど発生率が高くなる傾向がある。
B:稀に発生する ( 〃 :0.1%~0.3%)
C:しばしば発生する ( 〃 :0.3%~1.0%)
D:頻発する ( 〃 :1.0%以上)
玉分け矢は、摩擦に耐える表面硬度と高い寸法精度が要求される部品であり、加工コストが高い。しかも、玉分け矢は軸受名番毎に必要な専用部品なので、多くの種類の玉分け矢が必要になる。また、上記のような玉分けミスが発生すると玉分け矢が破損することがあるため、常に予備部品を準備しておく必要があり、軸受の製造コストを上昇させる要因となっている。特に、玉数の多い軸受名番に対して玉分け矢を製作する場合、個々の矢が細く長くなるので矢の強度が低下して破損し易くなる。

(11) (1)乃至(7)のいずれかに記載の方法により製造された玉軸受。
また、本発明の玉軸受によれば、低コストで安定した高品位な製品となり、製品性能がより均一となる。
図1は本発明の実施形態を説明するための図で、玉軸受の玉配列装置を模式的に示す全体構成図である。玉軸受の玉配列装置100は、外輪軌道面と内輪軌道面との間の隙間空間に挿入された複数の玉を、ピッチ円に沿った円周方向に等間隔に配列させるものである。玉配列装置100は、玉軸受11を支持する軸受支持部13と、玉軸受11の隙間空間内のいずれかの玉を着脱自在に保持する玉保持機構15と、先端部に玉保持機構15が設けられたロボットアーム17と、ロボットアーム17を予め用意された制御プログラムに基づいて駆動する後述する制御部(図示略)とを備える。
次に、上記構成の玉軸受の玉配列装置100による玉集め手順を説明する。
図4(A)~(D)は玉軸受11の平面図で、玉集め手順をステップ毎に示す説明図である。
内周角φ<(玉径×玉数)の周長に相当する内周角
次に、玉軸受の玉配列装置100による第1の玉分け手順を説明する。
図5(A)~(D)は玉軸受の平面図で、玉分けの手順をステップ毎に示す説明図である。図5(A)は、図4(D)に示す玉寄せされた状態を示す図であり、上記玉列の他端に配置される一つの玉を不動玉65Sとする。この不動玉65Sを基準にして、他の玉65を全て等間隔に配列することを想定すると、各玉65の目標配置位置は図5(B)に示すようになる。即ち、図示例においては、不動玉65Sと他の玉65とを合わせた全玉数は9個であり、他の玉65の目標配置位置は、不動玉65Sからピッチ円上で40°の内周角で等分された位置PA1~PA8となる。
本玉軸受の玉配列装置100は、玉軸受の軌道面間に挿入された玉65をロボットアーム17により所望の目標配置位置に移動させている。また、玉分けする軸受のサイズや玉の数が異なっても、軸受名番毎に予め用意された制御プログラムに従ってロボットアーム17を駆動するため、軸受名番毎の適正な目標配置位置に、簡単かつ正確に玉65を移動させることができる。そして、パラレルリンク型ロボットのロボットアーム17を用いることで、更に高速な玉移動が可能になる。
次に、玉軸受の玉配列装置100による第2の玉分け手順を説明する。
上記の第1の玉分け手順では、玉列の端部の玉を不動玉に設定しているが、本手順では玉列の中央の玉を不動玉に設定する。なお、以降の説明では、前述した部材と同一の部材に対しては、同一の符号を付与することで、その説明を簡単化又は省略する。
次に、玉軸受の玉配列装置100による第3の玉分け手順を説明する。
上記の玉分け手順では不動玉を設定しているが、本玉分け手順では不動玉を設定せず、全ての玉を移動させて玉分けする。
図9(A),(B)は、玉数が偶数である場合の第3の玉分け手順を示す説明図である。本玉分け手順では、図9(A)に示す状態に玉集めされた玉を、不動玉によらずに任意に設定した玉の目標配置位置に玉分けする。例えば、図9(B)に示すように、目標配置位置PA1~PA9を任意に設定した場合を考える。この場合、図9(A)の玉65-1~65-9と目標配置位置PA1~PA9とを比較して、玉65-6(目標配置位置PA6)と、玉65-7(目標配置位置PA7)との間が、移動方向が反転する境目となる。
次に、玉集め手順、玉分け手順の第1変形例を説明する。
上記した玉集めを実施する際、爪状治具47の一対の板状部材49A,49Bを隙間空間に挿入する位置(図4(A)の領域Wa)には玉が存在しないことを前提としているが、本手順では、撮像部により玉軸受を撮影し、隙間空間の領域Waに玉の存在が確認された場合には、爪状治具47の一対の板状部材49A,49Bの挿入位置を変更する。また、確認されない場合は挿入位置の変更を行わない。
次に、玉集め手順、玉分け手順の第2変形例を説明する。
上記した玉集めと玉分けの手順は、単列玉軸受に対して実施した例であるが、複列の玉軸受に対しても同様に行うことができる。本玉集め手順と玉分け手順では、複列玉軸受の玉を爪状治具によって前述同様に玉集め及び玉分けを行う。
上記構成の玉軸受の玉配列装置100に使用されるロボットアーム17としては、図1に示すパラレルリンク型のロボットアーム17の他にも種々の機構のものを採用できる。例えば、図15に示す多関節機構のロボットアーム17Aであってもよい。その場合、ロボットアーム17Aの先端に爪状治具47を設けて玉の挟持や移動を行う。更に他のロボットアームとして、単軸ロボットや2軸、3軸の直交するスライド軸により構成される直交ロボット等で構成することできる。
最後に、本発明による玉分けミス、玉傷の低減効果についての実験結果を示す。
本発明による玉分けによれば、玉分けミス、玉傷ともに発生率が減少する。表2に示すように、玉分け矢を用いて玉分けする参考例と比べて玉数が13個以上から発生率の低下が見られ、玉数20個以上から顕著な差が生じていることがわかる。
