In above-mentioned formation, case also can be the molten resin that applies a plurality of parts and form.
Resin system case can be with bearing sleeves such as for example sintering metal systems as mosaic component, through resin mould is formed.Make case become the integrally formed article that are made up of sealed department, main part and bottom this moment, and the shaping of having cut down portion's article number of packages and can carry out case simultaneously and bearing sleeve are fixed to case, so on the reduction the number of working processes, be favourable.On the other hand; In this formation; Because case is the complicated shape of being made up of sealed department, main part and bottom; And on the shrinkage of resin, have reasons such as difference, so there is the shrinkage homogeneous that is difficult to make resin, be difficult to guarantee the situation of the shaping validity of case with the contact segment and the non-contact part of bearing sleeve such as sintering metal system.Although the desired function of each of these cases of sealed department, main part and bottom is different, because each one is formed by same resin combination, so be difficult to sometimes make the function that requires of each one be able to satisfy with higher level.
Through making case apply the resin that a plurality of parts form for molten, availablely possess, form, the resin combination of shape etc. by the material that requires function of corresponding each one respectively, each one of case is shaped.And make up through case each several part simple shape, the case of the complicated shape that can be shaped, and corresponding and bearing sleeve contact have or not, also can make each several part is other parts.Therefore, the shrinkage in the time of can making hardening of resin is in each homogenization, the pinpoint accuracyization that can seek case.
At this moment,, then can select to use, can seek the function property raising of case the optimal resin combination of function upon request if utilize the resin combination differ from one another to form a plurality of parts.At this moment, be common if make the material resin of different resin combinations, then can be when guaranteeing enough bond strengths, the operability when improving molten applying.
Case can be to be possessed a terminal bottom that two open-ended cylindrical main body portions, inaccessible main part are arranged, is located at another end of main part button, and forms the formation of the sealed department of seal clearance between the periphery of spindle unit.Through at case sealed department being set like this, with original such will other sealed department be pressed into another that be adhered to case terminal in the occasion in week compare, can reduction portion article number of packages, the while can reduce the number of working processes, and reaches cost degradation.
In addition; Case can be respectively parts through making main part, sealed department and bottom; And apply these parts are molten each other, or through main part is integrally formed in advance as parts with bottom and sealed department arbitrary side wherein, and with its and another molten deposited with shaping.
No matter be which kind of situation, main part can carry out mold forming as mosaic component with bearing sleeve at least.The fixed operation of bearing sleeve and the forming operation of case are carried out simultaneously, be able to seek the reduction of the number of working processes.
Each desired function of main part, sealed department and bottom is different, selects to use suitable its to require function so the resin combination of each one that is shaped is preferably.
For example, main part needs to keep for a long time the high tenacity of validity.Therefore, main part is preferably that resin combination by fusion reinforcing material in as the thermoplastic resin of material resin forms.
Friction when the bottom is asked to alleviate and contact with spindle unit and friction are resisted.Therefore, the bottom be preferably by in as the thermoplastic resin of material resin fusion fixedly the resin combination of oiling agent form.
In addition, sealed department is supposed to prevent really from the leakage of oil in the case with from the intrusion of moisture of outside etc.Therefore, sealed department is preferably by using thermoplastic resin as material resin, the wrapping angle of water formed at the resin combination more than 80 °.
The hydrodynamic bearing device that constitutes by thrust bearing division downside terminal surface of supporting axis parts on thrust direction of the bottom of being located at case; Pressure at the peripheral lubricating fluid of thrust bearing division improves, sometimes the pressure difference of the lubricating fluid of generation and seal perimeter.Because this pressure difference, produce local negative pressure in the lubricating fluid in the inner space of case, in lubricating fluid, generate bubble, become sometimes and result from this reason of the generation that spills and vibrate etc. of lubricating fluid.And the pressure of the lubricating fluid through thrust bearing division periphery improves, and produces the spindle unit come-up sometimes.Connection ditch through setting is communicated with thrust bearing division and sealed department can address this is that.Promptly; When the pressure at the peripheral lubricating fluid of thrust bearing division improves; Produce from the thrust bearing division periphery to the flowing of the lubricating fluid of sealed department periphery through the circulation ditch, make the thrust bearing division periphery and the pressure of the lubricating fluid of sealed department periphery keep equipressure whereby.
This circulation ditch can be made up of the second radial direction ditch between another terminal surface of axle direction ditch, the inner side surface of being located at sealed department and bearing sleeve between the outer circumferential face of the first radial direction ditch, the inner peripheral surface of being located at case and bearing sleeve between the terminal terminal surface of the bottom of for example being located at case and bearing sleeve.
Have the resin combination of the degree of crystallinity more than 20% to form case through utilization, then the lubricant oil as lubricating fluid is difficult to sucked by case.Therefore the amount of keeping the lubricant oil of supplying with case can be stabilized, long-term high bearing performance can be kept.
Become the sintering metal of bearing sleeve raw material, can metallic dust mixing, shaping, the sintering of porous metal be obtained it.This kind sintering metal is when inside has a plurality of pores (as the pore of porosity soma), and these pores possess a plurality of perforates that form through outer surface are arranged.As this metallic dust, can add powder or their alloy powders such as tin, zinc, graphite, molybdenum disulfide as required from for example selecting more than one powder to make raw material copper, iron and the aluminium.The bearing sleeve of this sintering metal system uses under with oil impregnated state.
The water absorption rate of this resin combination is preferably below 0.5%.

In addition, when encapsulation molding, in advance bearing sleeve 8 is heated to the above temperature (for example more than 150 ℃) of mould temperature (about 100 ℃), the melting point of better is melting resin is above for preferable.The bearing sleeve 8 of when injection moulding, heating in advance like this becomes melting resin and is easy to invade in the pore of skin section from the surperficial perforate of bearing sleeve 8, can further improve this anchor formula fixed effect.
The Hydrodynamic bearing apparatus 11 of this example can be through to utilizing this case that interfixes 7 of inlaying shaping and bearing sleeve 8 installation shaft parts 2 to assemble.That is,, make the inner bottom surface 7c1 of its lower end contact case 7 with the inner peripheral surface 8a of spindle unit 2 insertion bearing sleeves 8.Then, injecting lubricant oil by the inner space of the case 7 of sealed department 7 ' a sealing.
When spindle unit 2 rotation, as the zone (zone, 2 places up and down) of the radial bearing surface of the inner peripheral surface 8a of bearing sleeve 8, respectively with the outer circumferential face 2a of spindle unit 2 through radial bearing gap subtend.Then, follow the rotation of spindle unit 2, the dynamic pressure that produces lubricant oil in this radial bearing gap, spindle unit 2 utilizes the oil film that is formed at the lubricant oil in the above-mentioned radial bearing gap, is being rotated non-contact support freely in the radial direction.Whereby, first R1 of radial bearing portion and the 2nd R2 of radial bearing portion of non-contact supporting axis parts 2 are configured rotating freely in the radial direction.Simultaneously, the downside terminal surface 2b of spindle unit 2 is contacted support through the inner bottom surface 7c1 of case 7.By this, on thrust direction, rotating freely, the thrust bearing division T of supporting axis parts 2 is configured.
Like Figure 10~embodiment shown in Figure 12, the effect of peeling off for the resin of the chamfered section 8f that further improves at bearing sleeve 8 is provided with concavity portion respectively at chamfered section 8f.The 8th embodiment shown in Figure 10 is circumferential groove 8f1 to be set as concavity portion in the zone of the downside terminal surface 8c through chamfered section 8f.In addition, the 10th embodiment shown in Figure 12 is radial direction ditch 8f3 to be set as concavity portion at downside terminal surface 8c to chamfered section 8f.This radial direction ditch 8f3 can be odd number, also can be located at a plurality of positions of circumferencial direction.
The 11st embodiment shown in Figure 13 is that 7c buries base member 9 such as metallic underground in the bottom of case 7.Base member 9 comprises the through hole 9a that is located at central part, from the axle collar 9b that outer periphery prolong to the upside one, its terminal surface is affixed on the downside terminal surface 8c of bearing sleeve 8, the inner face of axle collar 9b is affixed on the outer circumferential face 8g of bearing sleeve 8.Through hole 9a is filled with the resin that constitutes case 7, and the downside terminal surface 2b of spindle unit 2 contacts with the inner bottom surface 7c1 that utilizes the resin formation that is filled in through hole 9a, does not contact with base member 9.And the inner circumference edge of base member 9 prolongs to internal side diameter than the inner peripheral surface 8a of bearing sleeve 8 slightly, the state that becomes the chamfered section 8f of bearing part 8 to be capped from downside through base member 9 by this.
This embodiment's case 7 device for injection forming for example shown in Figure 9 capable of using are through forming the resin mold moulding as mosaic component bearing part 8 and base member 9.When the shaping of case 7, the clearance portion between the chamfered section 8f of bearing sleeve 8 and the internal mold 10 is inaccessible through base material 9 quilts, so melting resin is not filled in this clearance portion.Therefore, the chamfered section 8f of bearing sleeve 8 does not contact with resin, does not have the problem of peeling off from the resin of chamfered section 8f.
In addition, shown in the 12nd embodiment of Figure 14, base member 9 also can be the shape of not having through hole at central part.
And above embodiment forms bearing sleeve 8 with sintering metal, but metallic material such as also available stainless steel, Cuprum alloy, brass form the bearing sleeve of same form.As the means of preventing of peeling off of resin, the setting of carrying out surface roughness replaces the setting of this porosity when the time comes.That is the surface roughness of chamfered section (corresponding to chamfered section 8f) that, makes interior all lower sides of bearing sleeve is greater than the surface roughness of inner peripheral surface.For example, make the not enough Ra 0.5 of surface roughness of the inner peripheral surface of bearing sleeve, the surface roughness of the chamfered section of interior all lower sides is at Ra more than 0.5.The upside terminal surface of bearing sleeve, downside terminal surface and outer circumferential face be at least one surperficial surface roughness wherein, and it is preferable also getting same value with the chamfered section of interior all lower sides.
Shown in Figure 15 is hydrodynamic bearing device 21 about the 13rd embodiment.In this embodiment, bearing sleeve 8 can't help case 7 by casting mold.Bearing sleeve 8 is fixed in the interior week of the resin system case 7 that bottom tube-like is arranged of other shaping with means such as bonding, as to be pressed into.
And sealed department forms through the sealed member 10 with case 7 differences.Sealed member 10 both can also can be formed by metallic material by forming like above-mentioned resin combination.
After characteristic that the present inventor is asked resinous case 7 among the above embodiment and the most suitable condition that satisfies its characteristic were studied with keen determination, the result found following experience.
[low oil absorption]
As the characteristic of the resin combination that constitutes case 7, what at first be asked to is low oil absorption.Because case 7 has lubricant oil position contacting a plurality of and as lubricating fluid,, be difficult to make the bearing play to produce enough dynamic pressures so the lubricant oil in the case is not enough in case oil absorbency is big.
Should low oil absorption in order to satisfy, case 7 forms preferable with crystalline resin combination with certain above degree of crystallinity (ratio of amount that makes the correct crystal region of arranging of molecular chain rule is more than certain).More than certain, then the resin tissue becomes fine and closely woven, is difficult to be absorbed in the tissue so lubricant oil becomes like degree of crystallinity.As can be clear and definite,, then can satisfy the oil absorption that case 7 is asked as being resin combination with the degree of crystallinity more than 20% through detailed research.The heat of fusion that this degree of crystallinity is measured from utilizing differential scanning calorimetric measurement (DSC:Differential Scanning Calorimetry) is tried to achieve; This condition determination does; To the thaw temperature of resin temperature range, 5~10 ℃/min of warming velocity at-100 ℃ to+30 ℃.H ° of substitution following formula of heat of fusion Δ in the time of will measuring heat of fusion Δ Hm that the result tries to achieve and degree of crystallinity 100% by this can be asked this crystallinity Xc (%).
Xc(%)=ΔHm/ΔH°×100
(for example " compile on macromolecule handbook basis " macromolecule association compiles can to use document as Δ H °; 1996, training wind shop or " Thermal Analysis " B.Wunderlich, 1990; AcademicPress) said value; For example nylon 66 is 46, and nylon 11 is 41.5, and PET is 26.9 (unit all is [KJ/mol]).In addition, proportion and the X-ray diffraction beyond the degree of crystallinity DSC also capable of using tried to achieve.
[low water absorbable]
Secondly as the characteristic of the resin combination that constitutes case 7, what be asked to is low water absorbable.In case water absorption rate is excessive, will there be the shortage dimensional stability, to the installation of the motor of the case difficulty that becomes, or change apart from becoming inappropriate situation such as big.Therefore, water absorption rate should be preferable as far as possible for a short time, and specifically, water absorption rate is below 0.5%, to be desirably below 0.1% most.This water absorption rate means the test according to JIS K7209 or ASTM D570 in addition, the water absorption rate when in 23 ℃ water, placing 24 hours (weight rate before and after the test).
[low linear expansion property]
Secondly as the characteristic of the resin combination that constitutes case 7, what be asked to is that linear expansion coeffcient is little.Case 7 can heat up through the heat that produces in the bearing movable, but in case swell increment when the time comes is big, the distortion that causes bearing sleeve 8 is arranged then, makes the low anxiety of validity of dynamic pressure ditch.In order to prevent this state of affairs, case 7 is that linear expansion coeffcient is 5 * 10 through the low resin combination of linear expansion coeffcient specifically -5/ ℃ below resin combination and form ideal.
[high rigidity]
About case 7, needs improve its intensity and guarantee validity.From this point, reinforcing materials such as the resin combination fusion glass fibre of formation case 7, graphite fiber, potassium titanate are preferable.In a single day in order to improve intensity, more unreasonable the amount of reinforcing material is thinks, but too much will make the resin flow property of molten state low, and the operability in the resin cast engineering is low.And through the blended amount of reinforcing material, above-mentioned linear expansion coeffcient also can be affected.From these viewpoints, reinforcing material is to 100 weight portions of resin combination, the weight portion of fusion 10~80, and 15~40 the weight portion of being desirably most is ideal.
[low sliding]
The 7c in the bottom of case 7 as stated, the downside terminal surface 2a of spindle unit 2 directly slides, so as the characteristic of case 7, sliding friction is low for preferable.From this viewpoint, constitute the resin combination of case 7, to its fusion 5~30 weight portions of 100 weight portion, be desirably the solid lubricant of 5~20 weight portions most, for example graphite, PTFE or molybdenum disulfide are ideal.
In addition, as the resin combination that satisfies above characteristic, can be for example nylon 66.100 weight portions of 7 pairs of these nylon 66 of case for example can for example 30 weight portions of glass fibre and the 10 weight portions of PTFE be shaped through fusion.
The present invention is applicable to all Hydrodynamic bearing apparatus through resin combination shaping case, and the structure of shape of hood and bearing is not limited to illustrated example.The hydraulic bearing that the hydrodynamic that for example produces through the thrust-bearing gap carries out the non-contact support constitutes applicable too the present invention of device of thrust bearing division.
And the present invention is too applicable to the hydrodynamic bearing device that constitutes radial bearing portion through so-called positive circular journal bearing (bearing surface is the bearing of positive toroidal).
