- a projection 114 protruding in the axial direction is provided on the lower surface 112 (pressing surface) of the male die 104. Due to the fact that the outer peripheral surface defines the female engaging portion 12', the following problems occur when the male mold 104 is forced into the female mold 102 to compress the powder. (1) Since the vertical load due to the compression is concentrated on the free end surface of the projection 114, the projection 114 is likely to buckle, and the male mold 104 having the projection 114 must have considerable strength.
- the male mold The female member can be molded without providing a projection protruding in the axial direction on the lower surface (pressing surface) of the female member, and the above problem does not occur.
- An example of the manufacturing process of the male member 14 and the female member 16 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG.
- FIG. 9 shows an example of a molding die 200 for molding the male member 14 indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure.
- the molding die 200 includes a fixed female die 202 , a male die 204 vertically movable with respect to the female die 202 , and a center extending linearly in the vertical direction inside the female die 202 . child 206.
- the female mold 202 has a bottomed concave portion extending in the vertical direction.
- the bottomed concave portion has an inner peripheral surface 208 that defines the outer peripheral surface of the male member 14 and one axial end surface (lower end surface) of the male member 14.
- the male mold 204 can enter the bottomed recess of the female mold 202 and has a flat lower surface 214 that defines the other axial end surface (upper end surface) of the male member 14 .
- a hole through which the core 206 passes is coaxially formed in the lower surface 214 and the inner bottom surface 210, and the through hole 26 is defined by the core 206 passing through the hole.
- FIG. 10 shows an example of a molding die 300 for molding the female member 16 indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure.
- a molding die 300 includes a fixed female die 302 , a male die 304 vertically movable with respect to the female die 302 , and a center extending linearly in the vertical direction inside the female die 302 .
- the female mold 302 has a bottomed recess that extends vertically, and the bottomed recess has an inner peripheral surface 308 that defines the outer peripheral surface of the female member 16 and one axial end surface (lower end surface) of the female member 16.
- the male mold 304 can enter the bottomed recess of the female mold 302 and has a flat lower surface 312 that defines the other axial end surface (upper end surface) of the female member 16 .
- the lower surface 312 and the inner bottom surface 310 are coaxially formed with holes through which the core 306 passes. 30) is defined.
- the molding die 300 after the female die 302 is filled with metal powder, the male die 304 is lowered to enter the female die 302, thereby compressing the powder. , the female member 16 can be formed without axial loading of the core 306 .
- the joint member 4 is manufactured by separately forming the male member 14 having the male engaging portion 10 and the female member 16 having the female engaging portion 12 by powder metallurgy. Since the male member 14 and the female member 16 are manufactured by combining the male member 14 and the female member 16 so as not to rotate relative to each other, the female member 16 can be molded without providing axially protruding projections on the pressing surface of the male mold. As a result, the male engaging portion and the female engaging portion are coaxially arranged at different positions in the axial direction, and the above-described problem that occurs when the joint member is integrally manufactured by powder metallurgy can be avoided. A joint member in which the joining portion and the female engaging portion are coaxially arranged at different positions can be easily manufactured with high quality by powder metallurgy.
- the male engaging portion is a male serration and the female engaging portion is a female serration. It's okay.
- the pitch circle diameters of the male serrations and the female serrations may not necessarily be the same. Any means may be used to lock the male member and the female member so that they cannot rotate relative to each other.
- the locking portion 24 provided on the male member 14 constitutes a male square spline.
- the engaged portion 35 provided on the female member 16 constitutes a female square spline. 11 and 12, or serrated (in FIGS. 11 and 12, the same configurations as those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are indicated by the same numbers with "'" attached). ), or a polygon (a regular octagon in the illustrated embodiment) as in other modifications shown in FIGS. The same configuration as the configuration is indicated by attaching "''" to the same number).
- the braking torque applying means for applying the required braking torque to the female member in the angular position holding device is a coil spring, but the braking torque applying means may be a leaf spring, a tolerance ring, a ring spring, or the like.
- the braking torquing means may therefore not necessarily be non-rotatable with respect to the housing.
- the "joint member" in the present invention is not only applied to the above-described angular position holding device, but may be applied to other devices, or may be applied to a single unit, that is, a "joint member” that simply connects two members. ' can also be used as
- Angular position holding device 4 Joint member 6: Braking torque applying means (coil spring) 8: Housing 10: Male engaging portion 12: Female engaging portion 14: Male member 16: Female member 24, 24', 24'': Locking portion 35, 35', 35'': Locked portion
