Embodiment Construction

[0043] In the following, several embodiments of the bearing fixing structure of the present invention will be applied to a rack-and-pinion steering gear unit for fixing the outer ring of the first bearing fitted in the middle part of the pinion shaft to the inner peripheral surface of the housing. The situation is taken as an example and will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] [First example of embodiment]

[0045] Figure 1 ~ Figure 3 The first example of the embodiment of the present invention is shown. The present invention is characterized in that it designs a structure for fixing a bearing to a structural member such as a casing using a tapered split ring in a mechanical device such as a rack-and-pinion steering gear unit. As for the structure of other parts constituting the mechanical device including the steering gear unit, various conventionally known structures can be adopted as long as the present invention is applicable. ...

Abstract

Provided is a structure which is used in a machine device such as a rack and pinion type steering gear unit and which affixes a thrust load supporting bearing by means of a tapered snap ring to a member constituting the machine device, and the structure has high rigidity against a thrust load and is simple. The outer ring (17) of a ball bearing (15) is positioned relative to a housing (11a) so that the axial distance between the peripheral edge of one axial side-surface (32a) of an engagement groove (27) and one axial side-surface (34) of the outer ring (17) is less than the maximum thickness of a tapered snap ring (28a), and the tapered snap ring (28a) is engaged with the engagement groove (27). A gap (35) is provided between the other axial side-surface (31) of the tapered snap ring (28a) and the other axial side-surface (33) of the engagement groove (27).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a structure for fixing a bearing to a member constituting a mechanical device, and more particularly, to a structure for fixing a bearing supporting an axial load to a housing or a shaft using a tapered split ring. In addition, the present invention relates to a steering gear unit constituting a steering device for providing a steering angle to steering wheels of an automobile using the above-mentioned bearing fixing structure, and particularly relates to a rack-and-pinion steering using the above-mentioned bearing fixing structure. gear unit. Background technique [0002] As a mechanism for converting rotational motion input from a steering wheel into linear motion for providing a steering angle to steered wheels, a rack-and-pinion steering gear unit is used. The structure of the steering device having the above-mentioned rack and pinion steering gear unit is as described in JP-A-2009-184591, JP-A-2004-17872, JP-A-61-...
