Abstract

A manufacturing method of a rotating device includes a first machining process of machining a bearing hole while supplying a first cutting lubricant to a base member, a second machining process continuous from the first machining process, the second machining process being of machining a tap hole while supplying a second cutting lubricant to the base member, a blowing process of blowing at least either one of the bearing hole and the tap hole with a fluid in order to eliminate a machining residue, the blowing process including an air spraying process and a liquid spraying process, a cleaning process of cleaning the base member, and an assembling process of assembling the base member with the bearing unit and the rotating body.

Claims (38)

1. A method of manufacturing a rotating device that includes a base member in which a bearing hole and a tap hole are to be formed, a bearing unit to be inserted in the bearing hole, and a rotating body to be supported by the bearing unit, the method comprising:

a first machining process of machining the bearing hole while supplying a first cutting lubricant to the base member;

a second machining process of machining the tap hole while supplying a second cutting lubricant to the base member, the second machining process being continuous from the first machining process;

a blowing process of blowing at least one of the bearing hole and the tap hole with a fluid in order to eliminate a machining residue;

a cleaning process of cleaning the base member; and

an assembling process of assembling the base member with the bearing unit and the rotating body;

wherein the first machining process machines the bearing hole while the base member is individually retained in a container and is conveyed.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second machining process machines the tap hole while the base member is individually conveyed.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second machining process is executed while a moistening of the first cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the first machining process is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a moistening process of increasing at least one of a moistening of the first cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the first machining process and a moistening of the second cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the second machining process.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the blowing process blows a fluid in different directions from a plurality of nozzles.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the cleaning process, cleaning is carried out with a plurality of base members being mounted on respective support tables attached to a conveyance mechanism at a predetermined interval.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein each of the respective support tables is provided with a bridge portion forming a space between an inner bottom face of the support table and a supported face of the base member at a location avoiding one of the bearing hole and the tap hole to be formed with the base member being mounted on the support table.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first machining process, the second machining process, the blowing process, and the cleaning process are successively carried out while the base member is individually conveyed therethrough.

9. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising an airtightness measuring process of inspecting an airtightness of the base member after the cleaning process, wherein the airtightness measuring process is executed in a same area as an area of one of the cleaning process and the assembling process.

10. A method of manufacturing a rotating device that includes a base member in which a bearing hole and a tap hole are to be formed, a bearing unit to be inserted in the bearing hole, and a rotating body to be supported by the bearing unit, the method comprising:

a first machining process of machining the bearing hole while supplying a first cutting lubricant to the base member;

a second machining process of machining the tap hole while supplying a second cutting lubricant to the base member, the second machining process being continuous from the first machining process;

a blowing process of blowing at least one of the bearing hole and the tap hole with a fluid in order to eliminate a machining residue;

a cleaning process of cleaning the base member; and

an assembling process of assembling the base member with the bearing unit and the rotating body;

wherein the second machining process is executed while a moistening of the first cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the first machining process is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value.

11. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the second machining process machines the tap hole while the base member is individually conveyed.

12. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising a moistening process of increasing at least one of a moistening of the first cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the first machining process and a moistening of the second cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the second machining process.

13. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the blowing process blows a fluid in different directions from a plurality of nozzles.

14. The method according to claim 10 , wherein in the cleaning process, cleaning is carried out with a plurality of base members being mounted on respective support tables attached to a conveyance mechanism at a predetermined interval.

15. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the second machining process is executed within ten minutes after a machining through the first machining process.

16. A method of manufacturing a rotating device that includes a base member in which a bearing hole and a tap hole are to be formed, a bearing unit to be inserted in the bearing hole, and a rotating body to be supported by the bearing unit, the method comprising:

a first machining process of machining the bearing hole while supplying a first cutting lubricant to the base member;

a second machining process of machining the tap hole while supplying a second cutting lubricant to the base member, the second machining process being continuous from the first machining process;

a moistening process of increasing at least one of a moistening of the first cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the first machining process and a moistening of the second cutting lubricant adhered to the base member after a machining through the second machining process;

a blowing process of blowing at least one of the bearing hole and the tap hole with a fluid in order to eliminate a machining residue;

a cleaning process of cleaning the base member; and

an assembling process of assembling the base member with the bearing unit and the rotating body.

17. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the second machining process machines the tap hole while the base member is individually conveyed.

18. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the blowing process blows a fluid in different directions from a plurality of nozzles.

19. The method according to claim 16 , wherein in the cleaning process, cleaning is carried out with a plurality of base members being mounted on respective support tables attached to a conveyance mechanism at a predetermined interval.

20. The method according to claim 16 , wherein the first machining process, the second machining process, the blowing process, and the cleaning process are successively carried out while the base member is individually conveyed therethrough.
