摘要:
Sealing structures (7, 8) are installed to seal opposite open ends of an annular bearing space between an outer member (1) and an inner member (2). A wheel mounting flange (2a) of the inner member (2) is provided with a shielding plate (11). The shielding plate (11) has a tubular wall (11a) forming a labyrinth seal (10) in the vicinity of an outer peripheral surface (1b) of an outboard end of the outer member (1). The outer peripheral surface (1b) is provided with a guide structure (1c) for guiding downwardly water, flowing in between the shielding plate (11) and the outer member (1) along the flange (2a) and the shielding plate (11), and water flowing in between the shielding plate (11) and the outer member (1) along the outer peripheral surface of the outer member (1). The guide structure (1c) is constituted by an annular groove or projection.

A combined sensor and bearing assembly (1) of the present invention includes a rolling bearing unit (22) and a rotation sensor unit (23). The rolling bearing unit (22) includes a rotatable raceway member (2), a stationary raceway member (3) mounted around the rotatable raceway member (2) with an annular bearing space defined between it and the rotatable raceway member (2), and a circular row of rolling elements (4). The combined sensor and bearing assembly (1) also includes a to-be-detected member (7) including a magnet secured to the rotatable raceway member (2), and a magnetic detector (8) including a magnetic sensor of an analog output type disposed in face-to-face relation with the to-be-detected member (7). Only a range in which a magnetic characteristic of the to-be-detected member (7) relative to the magnetic detector (8) exhibits linearity is used for detection of rotation angle of the rotatable raceway member (2).
摘要:
A motor cooling structure for efficiently cooling a driving motor in a power unit case of the electric vehicle includes a transmission case cover having an air filter mounted on a side surface of a transmission case adjacent to a fan, and a ventilation gap defined between a rear portion of the transmission case cover and the transmission case. The transmission case cover includes a cooling air inlet facing the ventilation gap. When the fan is rotated in synchronism with a crankshaft, an outside cooling air is introduced from the cooling air inlet into the transmission case cover and then passes through the air filter to enter the transmission case, thereby forcibly cooling a transmission. Thereafter, a part of the cooling air is discharged from a central air outlet to the outside of the transmission case, and the remaining cooling air is drawn to the driven portion of the transmission.

A wheel bearing apparatus incorporating a wheel speed detecting apparatus has an outer member (4) with an integrally formed body mounting flange (4b) and double row outer raceway surfaces (4a) formed on the inner circumferential surface of the outer member (4). An inner member (3) includes a wheel hub (1) with an integrally formed wheel mounting flange (7) at one end. A cylindrical portion (1b) axially extends from the wheel mounting flange (7). An inner ring (6) is fitted on the cylindrical portion (1b) of the wheel hub (1). Double row inner raceway surfaces (1a, 6a) are formed on the outer circumferential surfaces of the wheel hub (1) and inner ring (6), respectively opposite to the double row outer raceway surfaces (4a). Double row rolling elements (5) are rotatably arranged between the outer and inner raceway surfaces (4a; 1a, 6a). An encoder (19) is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the inner ring (6). An annular sensor holder (15) is arranged on the end of the outer member (4) opposite to the encoder (19). A wheel speed detecting sensor (20) is integrally molded with the sensor holder (15) and arranged opposite to the encoder (19), via a predetermined radial gap. The encoder (19) has an annular ring configuration and its characteristics alternately and equidistantly vary along its circumferential direction. A seal is arranged at the inboard side of the encoder (19). The seal includes first and second annular sealing plates (21, 22) mounted on the sensor holder (15) and the inner ring (6), respectively, and opposite toward each other. The encoder (19) is mounted on the second sealing plate (22).
