Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sealing device.
- the hub of an automobile is provided with rolling bearings that support the axle.
- This rolling bearing is called a hub bearing.
- a sealing device is provided between the inner ring and the outer ring of the hub bearing. This sealing device seals the lubricant (grease) inside the bearing and prevents foreign substances such as water and dust from entering the inside of the bearing from the outside.
- the inner ring rotation type is a type in which the outer ring is fixed to the vehicle body, and the inner ring and the hub fixed to the axle rotate together with the axle. This type is used both when the wheels are driving wheels and when the wheels are driven wheels, as the wheels rotate with the axle.
- the outer ring rotation type is a type in which the inner ring is fixed to a stationary axle and the outer ring fixed to the wheel rotates together with the wheel. This type is used when the wheels are driven wheels because the axles are stationary.
- Some sealing devices provided on the hub bearing have a sealing member fixed to the outer ring, which is an outer member, and another sealing member fixed to the inner ring, which is an inner member. These sealing members are slidably contacted with each other.
- the sealing device used for the outer ring rotary type hub bearing centrifugal force is applied to the sealing member fixed to the outer ring.
- the contact pressure between the two should be increased. Even in such an environment, it is desirable that the sealing device has a long life.
- the present invention provides a sealing device having a long life and high protection performance from foreign substances.
- the sealing device is arranged between a fixed inner member and a rotating outer member, and seals a gap between the inner member and the outer member.
- the sealing device includes a sleeve attached to the inner member, a first sealing member having a flange extending radially outward from the sleeve, and a tubular arranged radially outward of the flange and attached to the outer member.
- a disk portion extending radially inward from the tubular portion and facing the flange, a radial lip arranged radially inward of the disk portion and slidably contacting the sleeve, and the disk portion.
- the first sealing member has an annular first protrusion protruding from the flange toward the disk portion of the second sealing member, and the first protrusion is in the radial direction of the side lip. It is arranged on the outside and overlaps with the side lip in the radial direction.
- the second sealing member has an annular second protrusion protruding from the disk portion toward the flange of the first sealing member, and the second protrusion has a diameter of the first protrusion. It is arranged outside the direction and overlaps with the first protrusion in the radial direction.
- the grease is discharged by centrifugal force from the space between the flange of the first sealing member and the disk portion of the second sealing member of the first protrusion formed on the first sealing member. To reduce that. Since the grease in this space reduces the wear of the side lip, the life of the side lip is improved by holding the grease in the space. Further, since the second protrusion formed on the second seal member is arranged on the outside of the first protrusion, it is difficult for foreign matter to enter the space between the flange and the disk portion from the outside. Since the second sealing member is attached to the rotating outer member, the second protrusion of the second sealing member can bounce off foreign matter.
- FIG. 1 shows a hub bearing for an automobile, which is an example of a rolling bearing in which the sealing device according to each embodiment of the present invention is used.
- the application of the present invention is not limited to hub bearings, and the present invention can be applied to other rolling bearings.
- the hub bearing is a ball bearing, but the application of the present invention is not limited to the ball bearing, and other rolling bearings such as roller bearings and needle bearings having other types of rolling elements.
- the present invention is also applicable.
- the present invention is also applicable to rolling bearings used in machines other than automobiles.
- This hub bearing 1 is an outer ring rotation type, and the inner ring is fixed to a stationary axle, and the outer ring fixed to the wheel rotates together with the wheel.
- the hub bearing 1 is arranged in a row between the inner ring (inner member) 6 having a hole 2 into which the axle is inserted, the outer ring (outer member) 8 arranged outside the inner ring 6, and the inner ring 6 and the outer ring 8. It has a plurality of balls 10 arranged, a plurality of balls 12 arranged in a row between the inner ring 6 and the outer ring 8, and a plurality of cages 14 and 15 for holding these balls in a fixed position.
- the inner ring 6 is fixed to a stationary axle.
- the outer ring 8 has the role of a hub fixed to the wheel. Therefore, the hub flange 18 is formed on the outer ring 8, and the wheel can be attached to the hub flange 18 by the hub bolt 19. In this way, the outer ring 8 is fixed to the wheel and rotates together with the wheel.
- the outer ring 8 and the hub flange 18 may be formed as separate members and fixed thereto.
- the common center axis Ax of the axle and the hub bearing 1 extends in the vertical direction in FIG. In FIG. 1, only the left side portion with respect to the central axis Ax is shown. Although not shown in detail, the lower side of FIG. 1 is the outer side (outboard side) where the wheels of the automobile are arranged, and the upper side is the inner side (inboard side) where the differential gears and the like are arranged.
- the outside and the inside shown in FIG. 1 mean the outside and the inside in the radial direction, respectively.
- a sealing device 20 for sealing the gap between the outer ring 8 and the inner ring 6 is arranged near the cylindrical end 8A on the inboard side of the outer ring 8.
- the sealing device 20 prevents the outflow of grease, that is, the lubricant from the internal space of the hub bearing 1, and also prevents foreign matter (including water (including muddy water or salt water) and dust) from the outside into the inside of the hub bearing 1. Prevent inflow.
- the arrow F shows an example of the direction of the flow of foreign matter from the outside.
- the sealing device 20 is arranged in the gap between the end portion 8A on the inboard side of the outer ring 8 of the hub bearing 1 and the inner ring 6 of the hub bearing 1.
- the sealing device 20 is annular, only the left side portion thereof is shown in FIG.
- the sealing device 20 has a composite structure including the first sealing member 30 and the second sealing member 40.
- the first seal member 30 is a fixed seal member that is fixed to the stationary inner ring 6 and does not rotate.
- the first sealing member 30 has a composite structure having a rigid ring 31 and an elastic ring 32.
- the rigid ring 31 is made of a rigid material, for example metal.
- the elastic ring 32 is made of an elastic material, for example, an elastomer.
- the rigid ring 31 has a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional shape. Specifically, the rigid ring 31 includes a cylindrical sleeve 31A and an annular flange 31B extending radially outward from the sleeve 31A.
- the sleeve 31A is attached to the inner ring 6. Specifically, the end portion of the inner ring 6 is fitted into the sleeve 31A by a tightening method.
- the flange 31B is a flat plate and is in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the sleeve 31A.
- the flange 31B is arranged on the inboard side of the sleeve 31A.
- the elastic ring 32 is in close contact with the flange 31B of the rigid ring 31. Specifically, the elastic ring 32 covers the entire inboard side surface of the flange 31B, covers the outer edge of the flange 31B, and further covers a part of the outer side of the outboard side surface. Therefore, the elastic ring 32 and the flange 31B can be regarded as forming one flange 33.
- the second seal member 40 is a rotating seal member that is fixed to the rotating outer ring 8 and rotates.
- the second sealing member 40 also has a composite structure having an elastic ring 41 and a rigid ring 42.
- the elastic ring 41 is made of an elastic material, for example, an elastomer.
- the rigid ring 42 is made of a rigid material, for example metal, to reinforce the elastic ring 41.
- the rigid ring 42 has a substantially L-shaped cross-sectional shape. A part of the rigid ring 42 is embedded in the elastic ring 41 and is in close contact with the elastic ring 41.
- the second seal member 40 has a tubular portion 44, a disk portion 45, a grease lip (radial lip) 46, a seal lip (radial lip) 47, and a side lip 48.
- the tubular portion 44 is attached to the outer ring 8. Specifically, the tubular portion 44 is fitted into the end portion 8A of the outer ring 8 by a tightening method.
- the tubular portion 44 is composed of an elastic ring 41 and a rigid ring 42.
- the disk portion 45 extends radially inward from the tubular portion 44 and faces the flange 31B of the rigid ring 31 of the first sealing member 30.
- the disk portion 45 is arranged on the outboard side of the tubular portion 44.
- the disk portion 45 is also composed of an elastic ring 41 and a rigid ring 42.
- the grease lip 46 and the seal lip 47 are arranged radially inside the disk portion 45 and slidably contact the sleeve 31A.
- the grease lip 46 and the seal lip 47 are composed of an elastic ring 41.
- Grease is arranged in the space on the outboard side of the disk portion 45 (internal space of the hub bearing 1) between the outer ring 8 and the inner ring 6. This grease reduces the friction between the balls 10, 12, the outer ring 8, and the inner ring 6.
- the grease lip 46 is a truncated cone-shaped thin plate extending radially inward and diagonally toward the outboard side from the elastic portion at the radial inner end of the disk portion 45.
- the tip of the grease lip 46 comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 31A.
- the grease lip 46 prevents grease from flowing out from the internal space of the hub bearing 1 to the inboard side.
- the seal lip 47 is a ridge formed on the annular portion 49 extending from the elastic portion at the radial inner end of the disc portion 45 toward the inboard side.
- the annular portion 49 is also composed of the elastic ring 41. As shown in FIG. 3, in the initial state where the first sealing member 30 and the second sealing member 40 are not combined, this ridge has a triangular cross section.
- the seal lip 47 contacts the outer peripheral surface of the sleeve 31A and backs up the grease lip 46. That is, the outflow of grease that has passed through the grease lip 46 from the outboard side to the inboard side is prevented.
- a garter spring 50 is wound around the outer circumference of the annulus 49.
- the garter spring 50 applies a radial inward compressive force to the seal lip 47 to increase the binding force of the seal lip 47 to the sleeve 31A.
- the side lip 48 is a thin plate extending from the elastic portion of the disk portion 45 toward the flange 31B.
- the side lip 48 is composed of an elastic ring 41.
- the side lip 48 has a base portion 51 adjacent to the disk portion 45, and a tip portion 52 having a truncated cone shape extending radially outward from the base portion 51 and diagonally toward the flange 31B.
- the tip 52 of the side lip 48 slidably contacts the flange 31B.
- the tubular portion 44 is arranged on the radial outside of the flange 33 of the first sealing member 30, that is, on the outer side of the elastic portion in close contact with the outer end edge of the flange 31B of the rigid ring 31.
- An annular gap 54 is provided between the tubular portion 44 and the flange 33. Foreign matter can enter the space 55 between the flange 33 of the first sealing member 30 and the disk portion 45 of the second sealing member 40 from the outside of the hub bearing 1 through the gap 54. On the contrary, foreign matter may be discharged from the space 55 to the outside through the gap 54.
- the side lip 48 comes into contact with the flange 31B and has a role of preventing foreign matter that has entered the space 55 from further entering toward the seal lip 47.
- the side lip 48 has a very large length as compared with the distance between the disc portion 45 on which the side lip 48 protrudes and the flange 33. This is because the second seal member 40 rotates together with the outer ring 8, so that a centrifugal force is applied to the side lip 48. Since the side lip 48 should maintain contact with the flange 31B even when centrifugal force is applied, the side lip 48 is designed to have a large length in order to increase the contact pressure of the side lip 48 with the flange 31B. ..
- the side lip 48 is coated with grease in order to reduce the torque applied from the flange 31B to the second sealing member 40.
- This grease is typically different from the grease that lubricates the balls 10, 12, the outer ring 8, and the inner ring 6.
- the first sealing member 30 is provided with an annular first protrusion 60 that receives the grease splashed by the side lip 48.
- the first protrusion 60 projects from the elastic portion of the flange 33 toward the disk portion 45 of the second sealing member 40. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first protrusion 60 is composed of the elastic ring 32.
- the first protrusion 60 is arranged radially outside the side lip 48 and overlaps the side lip 48 in the radial direction.
- the first protrusion 60 reduces the discharge of grease by centrifugal force from the space 55 between the flange 33 and the disk portion 45. Since the grease in the space 55 reduces the wear of the side lip 48, the life of the side lip 48 is improved by holding the grease in the space 55.
- the second seal member 40 has an annular second protrusion 62 that protrudes from the elastic portion of the disk portion 45 toward the flange 33 of the first seal member 30.
- the second protrusion 62 is composed of an elastic ring 41.
- the second protrusion 62 is arranged radially outside the first protrusion 60 and overlaps the first protrusion 60 in the radial direction.
- a peripheral groove 63 that is relatively recessed in the second protrusion 62 is formed.
- the second protrusion 62 formed on the second seal member 40 is arranged on the outside of the first protrusion 60, foreign matter enters the space 55 between the flange 33 and the disk portion 45 from the outside. It's hard to do. Even if a foreign substance enters the peripheral groove 63, the second sealing member 40 is attached to the rotating outer ring 8, so that the second protrusion 62 of the second sealing member 40 can bounce the foreign substance. ..
- the inner peripheral surface 62a of the annular second projection 62 is inclined and has a diameter that increases toward the flange 33 of the first sealing member 30. Therefore, even if a foreign substance enters the space 55, the foreign substance is likely to be discharged along the inner peripheral surface 62a of the second protrusion 62.
- the outer peripheral surface 60a of the first protrusion 60 facing the inner peripheral surface 62a of the second protrusion 62 is also inclined and has a diameter that increases toward the flange 33 of the first sealing member 30. Therefore, the outer peripheral surface 60a does not block the flow of foreign matter moving along the inner peripheral surface 62a.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 relate to a second embodiment of the present invention.
- the same reference numerals are used to indicate the components already described, and these components will not be described in detail.
- the tip end portion 52 of the side lip 48 has a first portion 52a located on the base portion 51 side and a second portion located on the side opposite to the base portion 51. It has part 52b of 2.
- the second sealing device 20 with respect to the axial direction is used in the initial state where the first sealing member 30 and the second sealing member 40A are not combined (force is not applied to the side lip 48).
- the tilt angle ⁇ of the portion 52b is smaller than the tilt angle ⁇ of the first portion 52a with respect to the axial direction of the sealing device 20. That is, the tip portion 52 of the side lip 48 has two truncated cone-shaped portions 52a and 52b, and the most advanced second portion 52b is closer to a cylinder than the first portion 52a.
- the first sealing member 30 and the second sealing member 40A are combined, thanks to the shapes of the first portion 52a and the second portion 52b of the tip portion 52 of the side lip 48 in the initial state.
- the tip portion 52 of the side lip 48 is composed of a single truncated cone-shaped portion in the initial state.
- FIG. 2 when the first sealing member 30 and the second sealing member 40 are combined and the side lip 48 of the second sealing member 40 is brought into contact with the flange 33 of the first sealing member 30. , A very wide area CA of the tip 52 of the side lip 48 is brought into contact with the flange 33.
- the second embodiment can reduce the torque applied from the flange 33 to the second seal member 40 as compared with the first embodiment. This effect is more exerted when the outer ring 8 and thus the second seal member 40 rotates at a low speed. This is because when the second sealing member 40 rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force applied to the side lip 48 becomes stronger, and the contact region CA between the side lip 48 and the flange 33 also becomes smaller in the first embodiment. ..
- FIGS. 6 and 7 relate to a third embodiment of the present invention.
- the side lip 48 has an annular raised portion 70 in addition to the base portion 51 and the tip portion 52.
- the raised portion 70 is formed as a continuous ring on the surface of the tip portion 52 facing the flange 33.
- the raised portion 70 has a triangular cross section.
- the first seal member 30 and the second seal member 40 are combined, and the side lip 48 of the second seal member 40 is the first.
- a very wide area CA of the tip 52 of the side lip 48 is brought into contact with the flange 33.
- the region where the tip end portion 52 of the side lip 48 contacts the flange 33 is reduced as compared with the first embodiment, and the torque applied from the flange 33 to the second sealing member 40B is reduced. ..
- This effect is more exerted when the outer ring 8 and thus the second seal member 40 rotates at a low speed. This is because when the second sealing member 40 rotates at high speed, the centrifugal force applied to the side lip 48 becomes stronger, and the contact region CA between the side lip 48 and the flange 33 also becomes smaller in the first embodiment. ..
- FIG. 8 shows the second sealing member 40C of the sealing device according to the modified example of the third embodiment.
- the side lip 48 has a raised portion 71 having a semi-circular cross section instead of the raised portion 70 having a triangular cross section.
- the cross-sectional shape of the raised portion formed on the side lip 48 in the initial state is not limited.
- the first protrusion 60 of the first seal member 30 is formed on the elastic ring 32.
- a first protrusion 61 is formed on the rigid ring 31 so as to protrude from the outer edge of the flange 31B toward the disk portion 45 of the second seal member 40. May be good.
- the first protrusion 61 is arranged radially outside the side lip 48 and overlaps the side lip 48 in the radial direction. The first protrusion 61 reduces the discharge of grease by centrifugal force from the space 55 between the flange 33 and the disk portion 45.
- the outer peripheral surface 61a of the first protrusion 61 is inclined and has a diameter that increases toward the flange 33 of the first sealing member 30.
- the modified example of FIG. 9 is a modified example of the first embodiment, but in other embodiments, the first protrusion 61 formed of a rigid material may be provided.
- a sealing device that is placed between a fixed inner member and a rotating outer member and seals a gap between the inner member and the outer member.
