Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a transmission that reduces or increases the rotational speed of a drive unit.
- a transmission that reduces the rotation speed of the drive shaft of the drive unit and outputs it.
- a transmission has a plurality of rotating shafts provided with gears, and the gears are engaged with each other to sequentially transmit the rotation of the drive shaft to the plurality of rotating shafts, thereby reducing the rotational speed.
- a transmission is provided with a plurality of bearings that rotatably support the rotating shaft with respect to the housing.
- an object of the present disclosure is to provide a transmission that can stably and rotatably support a rotating shaft.
- a transmission includes a first shaft unit connected to a drive shaft of a drive unit, the first shaft unit being connected to the drive shaft and having a first shaft raceway surface on an outer peripheral surface.
- a first outer ring having a first outer ring raceway surface on its inner peripheral surface; and a plurality of first rolling elements arranged between the first shaft raceway surface and the first outer ring raceway surface.
- the first shaft which is a rotating shaft connected to the drive shaft of the drive unit, is rotatably supported by the first supporting portion via the first rolling elements and the first outer ring. That is, the first shaft also functions as the inner ring of the bearing.
- this transmission can reduce the number of parts of the mechanism that supports the first shaft, and can suppress deterioration in the accuracy of supporting the first shaft due to variations in accuracy of parts. Therefore, in this transmission, the first shaft (rotating shaft) connected to the drive shaft of the drive unit can be stably and rotatably supported.
- the first rolling elements are balls
- the first shaft raceway surface is a groove extending in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft
- the groove forming the first shaft raceway surface includes the first Of the pair of groove edge portions extending in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft, the groove edge portion closer to the first output gear may have a larger diameter than the other groove edge portion.
- the transmission is configured such that the height of the groove edge on the side receiving the load is higher than that on the other side. It is possible to suppress the moving body from running over the groove (first shaft raceway surface).
- the first rolling elements are balls
- the first shaft raceway surface is a groove extending in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft
- the first shaft is provided with the first shaft raceway surface.
- an intermediate portion that is a portion between the raceway surface forming portion and the first output gear, and the outer diameter of the intermediate portion is larger than the outer diameter of the raceway surface forming portion.
- the shape of the groove in the raceway surface of the first shaft in the axial direction of the first shaft exhibits an arcuate shape along the virtual raceway groove circle, and the intermediate portion and the first output gear are arranged on the virtual raceway groove circle. No need to interfere.
- the transmission can appropriately arrange the balls, which are the first rolling elements, in the grooves, which are the first shaft raceway surfaces, without interfering with the intermediate portion and the first output gear.
- a gap of a predetermined reference length or more may be provided between the first outer ring and the intermediate portion in the axial direction of the first shaft.
- the transmission prevents the balls, which are the first rolling elements, from interfering with the intermediate portion even if the balls, which are the first rolling elements, move in the axial direction of the first shaft when the first shaft rotates. can be suppressed.
- the transmission described above further includes a retainer that retains each of the plurality of rolling elements in a rollable manner, and the retainer protrudes outward from the end of the first outer ring in the axial direction of the first shaft.
- a general bearing comprising an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements, and a retainer for holding the rolling elements is carried in a pre-assembled state and assembled in a transmission.
- Such a bearing is configured so that the retainer does not protrude from the inner ring and the outer ring in the axial direction so that the retainer will not be damaged by an impact or the like from the outside during transportation.
- the transmission of the present application does not have a general bearing configuration in which an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements, and a retainer are assembled, and there is no need to prevent damage to the retainer during transportation. No structural restrictions. For this reason, this transmission can suppress the restrictions imposed on the retainer, and can increase the degree of freedom in designing the retainer.
- a first oil passage extending along the axial direction of the first shaft is provided inside the first shaft. At least a part of the opening of the first oil hole in the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft extends in the radial direction of the first shaft from the inner surface of the first outer ring. It may face the peripheral surface.
- this transmission can improve the performance of supplying lubricating oil to the first shaft raceway surface and the first outer ring raceway surface.
- the first oil hole extends along the radial direction of the first shaft, and extends in the axial direction of the first shaft in the oil flow direction of the first oil passage relative to the first shaft raceway surface. It may be provided upstream.
- the lubricating oil supply path to the first shaft raceway surface and the like can be shortened, and the lubricating oil can be supplied more appropriately.
- an O-ring arranged to surround the first outer ring may be provided between the outer peripheral surface of the first outer ring and the first support portion. In this case, this transmission can suppress the occurrence of creep due to the first outer ring receiving a rotational load or whirling.
- the outer peripheral surface of the first outer ring may be coated with a coating having a lower friction than the outer peripheral surface of the first outer ring. In this case, this transmission can suppress the occurrence of creep due to the first outer ring receiving a rotational load or whirling.
- the above transmission further includes a second shaft unit to which power is transmitted from the first shaft unit, the second shaft unit comprising a second shaft having a second shaft raceway surface on its outer peripheral surface, and a second shaft provided on the second shaft. a second input gear that meshes with the first output gear and rotates integrally with the second shaft; a second output gear that is provided on the second shaft and rotates integrally with the second shaft; and a second input gear that supports the second shaft.
- the second shaft to which power is transmitted from the first shaft unit is rotatably supported by the second support portion via the second rolling elements and the second outer ring. That is, the second shaft also functions as the inner ring of the bearing.
- this transmission can reduce the number of parts of the mechanism that supports the second shaft, and can suppress deterioration in the accuracy of supporting the second shaft due to variations in accuracy of parts.
