In fig. 5, between the axle portion 72 of the packing ring 81 chimeric with clutch component 4 and mobile force transmitting member 7, movement Between the base portion 71 of force transmitting member 7 and the flange part 533 of plunger 53 and the side of sidewall portion 532 of plunger 53 and supporting for limiting member 6 Between socket part 622, the state in the gap formed with axial direction is shown respectively.But these gaps and nonessential, as long as will not pass through The active force of lock washer 82 and by component each other vertically mutually pressing, can adjoin one another, such as can pass through The retained magnetic forces of plunger 53 and the flange part 533 of plunger 53 will not produce abrasion with the base portion 71 in mobile force transmitting member 7 The power of degree is gently contacted.That is, configured in a manner of the loosening with axial direction and refer to clutch component 4, mobile force transmitting member 7 And plunger 53 this each component will not be pressed mutually and configuration side by side vertically vertically, avoid producing the rotation for the degree that can not ignore Turn resistance (frictional force) and rotate against freely.
In the present embodiment, the respective axially length of clutch component 4, mobile force transmitting member 7 and plunger 53 is added Length be set to it is shorter than the axial distance between the lock washer 82 and the abutting part 622 of limiting member 6 under nature, so as to Realize the structure that above-mentioned each component is configured in a manner of the loosening with axial direction.Thus, lock washer 82 is nature During the first specific length, axial gap is formed between the side of sidewall portion 532 of plunger 53 and the abutting part 622 of limiting member 6.
Embodiment from the description above, when lock washer 82 is the first specific length, clutch component 4, locomotivity Transmission member 7 and plunger 53 between lock washer 82 and the abutting part 622 of limiting member 6 in a manner of having the loosening of axial direction Configuration.Thus, when being failure to actuate of actuator 5 being cut off in the energization to electromagnet 51, even if above-mentioned each component rotates against Also the rotational resistance as caused by friction will not be produced, each component swimmingly rotates against and can suppress abrasion.
Next, the variation on first embodiment, reference picture 6 illustrates.
Fig. 6 A are the sectional views that device is moved with Fig. 5 quite poors of first embodiment, show the shape of being failure to actuate of actuator 5 State, Fig. 6 B are the sectional views that device is moved with Fig. 5 quite poors of first embodiment, show the operating state of actuator 5.Scheming In 6A, Fig. 6 B, the inscape shared on the inscape with illustrating in first embodiment, mark same symbol and omit The explanation repeated.
In the first embodiment, the first specific length for illustrating the lock washer 82 during the no power of electromagnet 51 is The situation of the axial length under un-compressed nature vertically of lock washer 82, but in this variation, in electromagnetism During the no power of iron 51, lock washer 82 is also compressed vertically.That is, in this variation, actuator 5 is prevented when being failure to actuate The axial length of loose packing ring 82 is that the first specific length is shorter than the natural length of lock washer 82.
Therefore, clutch component 4 receives the active force of lock washer 82 all the time, is pressed to the side of actuator 5, but in this change In shape example, packing ring 81 abuts vertically with the axial end 211d of the round plate 211 of the first mould component 21, thus, it is possible to suppress locking Transmission of the active force of packing ring 82 to mobile force transmitting member 7 and plunger 53.Therefore, it is same with first embodiment, locking When packing ring 82 is the first specific length, formed axially between the side of sidewall portion 532 of plunger 53 and the abutting part 622 of limiting member 6 Gap.Thus, mobile force transmitting member 7 will not mutually be pressed with plunger 53 due to the active force of lock washer 82, can be entered Row rotates against, and suppresses abrasion.
It should be noted that packing ring 81 by the active force of lock washer 82 and the axial end with the first mould component 21 211d is abutted, thus when clutch component 4 rotates relative to the first mould component 21, axial end of the packing ring 81 in the first mould component 21 Slided on the 211d of face, but the clutch component 4 and packing ring 81 during the traveling of two wheel drives and the first mould component 21 rotate against Speed is lower with the relative rotational of plunger 53 than mobile force transmitting member 7, therefore will not in the mould component 21 of packing ring 81 or first Produce the abrasion for the degree that the action to differential gear impacts.
More than, the present invention is illustrated based on embodiment, but the present invention is not defined to the embodiment, is not taking off Being capable of appropriate deformation implementation from the range of the purport of the present invention.For example, in the above-described embodiment, illustrate in actuator During 5 action, clutch component 4 is connected to differential casing 2 and can not rotated against, in actuator 5 when being failure to actuate, clutch component 4 situations about can be rotated against with differential casing 2, but can also in contrast, in actuator 5 when being failure to actuate, clutch structure Part 4 is linked with differential casing 2 by the active force of lock washer 82.Moreover, in the above-described embodiment, illustrate post Plug 53 configures the situation in the outer circumferential side of yoke 52, but can also configure plunger 53 in the inner circumferential side of yoke 52.
