Embodiment Construction

[0035] Below, combine Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 Embodiments of the present invention will be described. figure 1 Indicates the protective cover for constant velocity universal joints according to the present invention, figure 2 Indicates a constant velocity universal joint using a protective cover for a constant velocity universal joint.

[0036] like figure 2 As shown, the constant velocity universal joint is composed of the following parts: the outer ring 1 as the outer joint part is formed with a plurality of guide grooves (raceway grooves) 4 in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface; The inner ring 2 as an inner joint part of the guide groove (raceway groove) 5; a plurality of balls 3 arranged on the ball raceway formed by the cooperation of the guide groove 4 of the outer ring 1 and the guide groove 5 of the inner ring 2; And a spacer 8 (cage) having a pocket 8a for accommodating the ball 3 and the like. In addition, a rotating shaft 9 is connected to the i...

Abstract

Provided is a boot for constant velocity universal joint, the boot being capable of flexibly deforming to follow even a large operating angle, capable of effectively dispersing interference pressure between crests, interference pressure between the troughs and a shaft, and stress concentration to the troughs to uniformize such pressure and stress, having improved anti-wear properties and anti-fatigue properties, and having high durability. Also provided is a constant velocity universal joint capable of using the boot. A bellows section (15) of a boot is provided with three or more crests (7), and also with three or more troughs (6) which are alternately arranged, together with the crests (7), in the axis direction. In a cross-section of the boot taken in the longitudinal direction thereof, the outer diameter section of each of the crests (7) is formed in a rounded shape. The curvature radius of the outer diameter sections of one or two crests (7) located at the center portion between a large-diameter section (13) and a small-diameter section (14) is set to be greater than the curvature radius of the outer diameter sections of the remaining crests (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to boots for a constant velocity universal joint and a constant velocity universal joint. Background technique [0002] In constant velocity universal joints used to transmit power in automobiles and various industrial machines, a bellows-shaped protective cover is installed to prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering the joint and to prevent the grease sealed inside the joint from leaking. [0003] like image 3 As shown, this protective cover has: a large-diameter portion 33 fixed to the outer ring of the outer joint member as a constant velocity universal joint, a small-diameter portion 34 fixed to a rotating shaft extending from the inner ring of the inner joint member, The bellows 35 is provided between the large-diameter portion 33 and the small-diameter portion 34 and has valley portions 36 and mountain portions 37 alternately formed therein. Also, the large-diameter portion 33 and the small-diameter porti...
