The conventional power transmission device as described above has the following problems.
First, because the power is transmitted by sandwiching the outer peripheral portion of the fixing member 106 only in the radial direction at the tip of the leaf spring 103, the pinching contact portion is fretting worn (by torque fluctuation due to vibration or rotation fluctuation of the drive source). (Surface wear due to minute relative sliding under a load) may occur, the pinching force may decrease, and malfunction (power transmission may be interrupted below a predetermined value) may occur. That is, there is a risk that the durability is lowered and the reliability of the power transmission cutoff characteristic is lowered.

  In addition, in order to generate a pinching force that can withstand vibrations, it is necessary to increase the leaf spring 103 thickness, number of stacked sheets, material strength, hardness, etc., which increases the cost, size, and assembly of the product. Invite the deterioration.

  Further, a portion of the tip portion of the leaf spring 103 that sandwiches the fixing member 106 from both sides extends in the extending direction of the leaf spring 103, and the opening of the leaf spring 103 also opens along the extending direction of the leaf spring 103. It is formed to do. Therefore, when power transmission is interrupted, the leaf spring 103 starts rotating about the center of the fixing member 105 first, and then the fixing member 106 is detached from the tip of the leaf spring 103. Therefore, if the pinching force on the fixing member 106 side is increased, fretting wear may also occur on the fixing member 106 side, which may cause malfunction due to breakage of the fixing member 106, etc. There is a possibility that the reliability of the power transmission cutoff characteristic may be lowered.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to focus on the problems in the prior art as described above, and to improve the reliability in terms of durability, power shut-off characteristics, etc. while preventing an increase in product cost, an increase in size, and a deterioration in assemblability. It is to provide a transmission device.

  In order to solve the above problems, a power transmission device according to the present invention includes a drive side rotation member and a driven side rotation member that are concentrically arranged, and a drive side rotation that extends between the drive side rotation member and the driven side rotation member. A driving member having a connecting member that connects the member and the driven side rotating member, a first fixing member that fixes the driving side rotating member and the connecting member, and a second fixing member that fixes the driven side rotating member and the connecting member; Power is transmitted from the side rotating member to the driven side rotating member via the connecting member, and when the transmitted power exceeds a set value, the first fixing member or the second fixing member is detached from the connecting member to transmit the power. In the power transmission device, the fixing member separated from the connecting member is constituted by a columnar fixing member separate from the rotating member and the connecting member, and the columnar fixing member is formed by the columnar fixing member. Is it a connecting member? The rotating member and the connecting member are fixed by caulking in the axial direction of the columnar fixing member so as to be detachable, and between the columnar fixing member and the connecting member and / or between the connecting member and the rotating member, It consists of what is characterized by providing the fitting part which fits.

  In the power transmission device according to the present invention, the fixing member that is separated when the excessive power is transmitted is composed of a columnar fixing member that is separate from both the rotating member and the connecting member. It can be crimped by plastic deformation. When the columnar fixing member is interposed between the rotating member and the connecting member and pressed from both sides and caulked in the axial direction, the force for clamping the rotating member and the connecting member from both sides and the caulking in the axial direction The holding force from the inner diameter side due to the expansion of the columnar fixing member in the radial direction makes it possible to securely fix the rotating member and the connecting member with the optimum fixing force according to the caulking force, and excessive power. It is possible to reliably perform predetermined separation at the time of transmission. Since this caulking force can be easily controlled to the target force by controlling the axial pressure force of the fixing member, the fixing force via the fixing member of the rotating member and the connecting member can be easily adjusted to the target force. It can be controlled well. In addition, since the fixing by caulking is basically due to plastic deformation of the columnar fixing member, minute relative sliding occurs between the fixing member and the rotating member and between the fixing member and the connecting member. There is no factor and no fretting wear occurs. Therefore, the initially set power cutoff characteristic is maintained as it is, and durability and reliability of the power cutoff characteristic are improved. Furthermore, since the fitting part which mutually fits is provided between the columnar fixing member and the connection member or / and between the connection member and the rotating member, the plasticity of the columnar fixing member is provided by this fitting part. The fixing strength between the rotating member and the connecting member fixed by the deformation and the fixing strength between the fixing member and the connecting member are increased, and the fixing until the fixing member is detached from the connecting member is further increased. Assured. Therefore, the occurrence of fretting wear or the like is more reliably prevented, the initially set power cutoff characteristic is maintained as it is, and the durability and the reliability of the power cutoff characteristic are further improved.

  In addition, the target durability and power cut-off characteristics are ensured by caulking and fitting of the above-mentioned fitting portion, so that the thickness of the connecting member is increased, a plurality of connecting members are stacked, and the connecting member is specially provided. There is no need to use new materials, and the associated increase in cost, increase in size, and deterioration in assemblability are reliably prevented. Furthermore, since the desired good durability and power cut-off characteristics can be obtained simply by caulking and controlling the caulking force, the assembly can be performed very easily.

  In the power transmission device according to the present invention, it is preferable that the connecting member is provided with a notch that opens in the rotation direction of the rotating member so that the columnar fixing member can be detached from the connecting member. Since the connecting member and the rotating member are fixed with the optimal fixing force as described above by caulking the columnar fixing member and the fitting portion, when the fixing member is detached from the connecting member during excessive power transmission, It is desirable to make it as smooth as possible without any obstacles. Therefore, when the connection member is provided with the cutout in the above direction, the fixing member can be smoothly detached from the connection member without being caught.

  When providing the notch, the connecting member is formed with a hole through which the columnar fixing member is inserted, and the width of the notch is set to be equal to or larger than the diameter of the hole. It is preferable to adopt. In other words, the disengagement is facilitated by providing the notch, but it is desirable to hold the fixing member in the hole portion as reliably as possible before the disengagement. Therefore, it is preferable to employ such a structure. By setting the width of the notch to be equal to or larger than the diameter of the hole, it is possible to achieve a structure in which the fixing member can be smoothly detached from the connecting member without causing any catch or the like. Even if such a structure that is easy to detach is employed, since the fitting portion is provided in the present invention, before detachment, the caulking force and the fixing force due to the fitting of the fitting portion are ensured, The desired fixation is ensured.

  Moreover, as the columnar fixing member, a rivet-shaped member having a columnar shaft portion and a head having a diameter larger than that of the columnar shaft portion at one end thereof can be used, and the rivet-shaped member is caulked in the axial direction. do it. By using such a rivet-shaped member, both assembly and caulking can be easily performed.

  Moreover, as a connection member, it can form in a flat member with comparatively thin thickness. As a result, it is possible to achieve downsizing of the entire apparatus while providing the desired power transmission and excessive transmission power cutoff functions.

  Moreover, it is preferable that a plurality of connecting members are arranged in the rotation direction of the rotating member (for example, three equally arranged in the rotating direction). With the multiple arrangements, normal power transmission (except when excessive transmission power is generated) can be performed more smoothly.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the connecting member is fixed to the rotating member so as to be rotatable around a fixing member on the side opposite to the fixing member separated from the connecting member. If comprised in this way, at the time of transmission power interruption | blocking, it will be easy to rotate itself so that the connection member from which the fixing member was disengaged from one end may not get in the way (so that one rotating member can be idled). And it becomes possible to evacuate appropriately.

  In particular, when the connecting member is disposed so as to be inclined in the rotation direction of the rotation member with respect to the radial direction of the rotation member, the rotation is performed more smoothly, and a smoother force is also obtained during normal power transmission. The transmission direction can be adjusted appropriately, and torque fluctuations can be appropriately handled.

  In the power transmission device according to the present invention, a disk fixed to the rotating member so as to be integrally rotatable is provided between the driving side rotating member and the connecting member or between the driven side rotating member and the connecting member. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which the disk and the connecting member are fixed via a fixing member. The disk only needs to be tightly fixed to the corresponding rotating member by bolting or the like, and may be configured as an integral body with the rotating member. By providing such a disk, for example, the connection between the disk and the connecting member via the fixing member, and in some cases, the rotating member on the opposite side of the rotating member with which the disk is integrated and the fixing member for the connecting member are provided. It is possible to tentatively assemble as a pre-assembled part, including the connection through the connector. In this way, when the temporarily assembled assembly disk is assembled on the corresponding rotating member side, a predetermined assembly is completed, and the assemblability is further improved. Further, since the caulking can be performed at the assembly stage, the caulking force can be controlled more easily.

  Further, in the power transmission device according to the present invention, after the detachment of the fixing member from the connecting member, the rotating member or the disc is abutted against the connecting member supported by the other anti-detachment side fixing member. It is also possible to adopt a structure in which a pin-like protrusion for rotating the member around the anti-separation side fixing member is provided. That is, as described above, it is desirable that the connecting member from which the fixing member has been detached is quickly retracted so as not to get in the way, so that the connecting member is abutted against the connecting member for the rotation. This is a structure in which a dedicated pin-like protrusion for rotating the member is provided. Note that this pin-like protrusion does not function except when the fixing member is detached.

  When adopting such a structure, it is preferable that the pin-shaped protrusion is provided at a position farther in the radial direction of the rotating member than the detachable side fixing member with respect to the anti-detaching side fixing member. In this way, the connecting member can be smoothly rotated with a smaller force.

  As a specific structure of the fitting portion, various structures can be adopted as shown in each example described later. For example, a structure in which the fitting portion is formed by a fitting portion between a convex portion and a concave portion or a hole portion, or a structure in which the fitting portion is formed by a fitting portion between a protruding portion and a notch portion can be employed.

  Moreover, in the power transmission device according to the present invention, the fixing member that is caulked in the axial direction is preferably made of an annealed member because the material is easily compressed. By including an annealing process, the hardness can be kept constant.

  The power transmission device according to the present invention can basically be applied as a power transmission device in any device, but in particular, there is a torque fluctuation in the drive source, and it is required to maintain high-accuracy excessive transmission power cutoff performance. It is effective in the case. For example, this is effective when the drive source of the drive side rotation member is a motor for a vehicle. In that case, it is particularly suitable as a power transmission device used for a compressor.

  Thus, according to the power transmission device of the present invention, the durability can be improved and the reliability of the power shut-off characteristics can be improved without incurring an increase in cost, an increase in size of the device, and a deterioration in assemblability. . It is also possible to achieve setting of the cutoff power, facilitation of control, high accuracy, and stable maintenance thereof.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1A and 1B show a power transmission device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 1A is a front view thereof, and FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. . In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a driving side rotating member composed of a pulley to which driving force is transmitted from an engine (not shown) via a belt or the like, and 2 is a follower connected and fixed to a driving shaft of a compressor, for example. Side rotating members are shown and are arranged concentrically. The drive side rotating member 1 is supported via a bearing 3 so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body side of a compressor or the like. The driving side rotating member 1 and the driven side rotating member 2 are connected via a connecting member 4 made of a flat plate member, and the power from the driving side rotating member 1 is connected via the connecting member 4 to the driven side rotating member 2. To be communicated to.

  The driving side rotating member 1 and one end of the connecting member 4 are fixed by a first fixing member 5, and the driven side rotating member 2 and the other end of the connecting member 4 are fixed by a second fixing member 6. It is fixed. In this embodiment, when the power from the driving side rotating member 1 is transmitted to the driven side rotating member 2 via the connecting member 4, the first fixing member 5 is connected when the transmitted power exceeds a set value. By separating from the member 4, the power transmission is cut off. The first fixing member 5 is preferably made of an annealed member as described above. It is also possible to cut off this power transmission on the second fixing member 6 side. A fixing member configured to be able to be detached from the connecting member 4 for interrupting power transmission, in the present embodiment, the first fixing member 5 is a columnar shape that is completely separate from the rotating members 1 and 2 and the connecting member 4. It is comprised by the fixing member. In this embodiment, the fixing member 5 is composed of a rivet-like member having a head 8 having a diameter larger than that of the columnar shaft portion 7 on one end side of the columnar shaft portion 7 before the mounting. By being caulked in the axial direction, the driving side rotating member 1 and the connecting member 4 are fixed via the fixing member 5 (9 indicates a caulking portion). In the present embodiment, the same fixing structure by caulking is also adopted on the second fixing member 6 side that is not intended to be detached, but the fixing structure on this side is not particularly limited. However, when the fixing member 5 is detached from the connecting member 4, the connecting member 4 is set to be rotatable around the second fixing member 6. In the present embodiment, a fitting portion 12 that fits each other is provided between the columnar fixing member 5 and the connecting member 4 and / or between the connecting member 4 and the rotating member 1.

  In the present embodiment, the three connecting members 4 are arranged in the rotational direction (the direction of the arrow R in FIG. 1A), and each connecting member 4 is in the radial direction of the rotating members 1 and 2. The rotating member is arranged to be inclined in the rotation direction R. Each connecting member 4 is formed with a hole portion 10 through which the columnar shaft portion 7 of the first fixing member 5 is inserted. The hole portion 10 is connected to the hole portion 10 and opens in the rotation direction R of the rotating member. A notch 11 is provided. Through this notch 11, the first fixing member 5 can be detached in the rotation direction R of the rotating member.

  2A and 2B show a power transmission device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, in which FIG. 2A is a front view thereof, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. . The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 only in that a disk (disk-shaped member) fixed to the one rotating member so as to rotate integrally therewith is provided. Since the other parts are basically the same as those in the first embodiment, the same members as those shown in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. In the structure shown in FIG. 2, a disk 21 is provided between the driving side rotating member 1 and the connecting member 4 so as to be able to rotate integrally with the driving side rotating member 1, and the disk 21 is interposed via a fixing bolt 22. The drive-side rotating member 1 is fixed. Therefore, the drive side rotation member 1 and the disk 21 in FIG. 2 can be combined and regarded as the drive side rotation member in the present invention. Note that reference numeral 23 in FIG. 2 denotes a hole formed in the drive side rotating member 1 in order to avoid interference with the caulking fixing member 5. By providing such a disk 21, as described above, for example, the disk 21 and the connecting member 4 can be assembled first via the fixing member 5, and the assembly is attached to the drive side rotating member 1 with a bolt. It becomes possible to conclude. As a result, easy assembly, easy control of the caulking force of the fixing member 5, easy alignment of the members of the fitting portion 12, and hence easy setting of the power cut-off characteristics and high accuracy are achieved. It becomes possible to measure.

  The relationship between the notch 11 and the hole 10 formed in the connecting member 4 in each of the above embodiments is illustrated in FIG. 3 in the case of the second embodiment. In the form shown in FIG. 3, the notch 11 is formed so as to open in a divergent shape along the circumferential direction of the disk 21. In this case, it is preferable that the relationship between the diameter φH of the hole 10 and the width W of the notch 11 satisfies W ≧ φH. By satisfying this relationship, the fixing member 5 can be smoothly detached without any obstacle (without interfering with the inner surface of the notch 11). Before detachment, a predetermined positional relationship is maintained by caulking by the fixing member 5 and fitting by the fitting portion 12, and the fixation between the two is also maintained with sufficient force.

  FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate the manner in which the fixing member 5 is caulked and the configuration of the fitting portion. In the structure shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 4A, the fixing member 5 has a columnar shaft portion 7 and a head portion 8 at one end thereof before caulking. In this example, the connecting member 4 is formed with a convex portion 13 made of a minute projection that protrudes toward the head 8 side of the fixing member 5. The columnar shaft portion 7 of the fixing member 5 is inserted into the hole portion 10 of the connecting member 4 and the hole 24 formed in the disk 21 (FIG. 4B), and is opposite to the head portion 8 of the columnar shaft portion 7. The side end is caulked (FIG. 4C). The caulking portion 9 is formed by plastic deformation. At this time, the convex portion 13 bites into the inner surface of the head portion 8 of the fixing member 5 to form the concave portion 14 by caulking force, and the convex portion 13 and the concave portion 14 are automatically fitted to each other. It is formed. In addition, it is preferable that the diameter of the hole 10 of the connecting member 4 and the hole 24 of the disk 21 is set slightly larger than the outer diameter of the columnar shaft portion 7, thereby facilitating insertion.

  In the structure shown in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 5A, the connecting member 4 is formed with a convex portion 15 made of a minute protrusion that protrudes toward the disk 21, as compared with the structure shown in FIG. 4. In the corresponding position of the disk 21, a through hole 16 is formed. Before caulking, the fixing member 5 has a columnar shaft portion 7 and a head portion 8 at one end thereof. The columnar shaft portion 7 of the fixing member 5 is inserted into the hole portion 10 of the connecting member 4 and the hole 24 formed in the disk 21 (FIG. 5B), and is opposite to the head portion 8 of the columnar shaft portion 7. The edge is caulked (FIG. 5C). The caulking portion 9 is formed by plastic deformation. At this time, the convex portion 15 is fitted into the hole portion 16 of the disk 21 and bites in, and the convex portion 15 and the hole portion 16 are fitted to each other to form a predetermined fitting portion. In addition, without providing the hole 16 in the disk 21, it is also possible to adopt a form that bites in during caulking, similar to the form shown in FIG. Moreover, it is also possible to form in the hole part which does not penetrate the hole part 16 provided in the disk 21, or to form in a recessed part instead of a hole part.

  When the fixing member 5 is caulked as described above, a strong fixing force is exerted in the axial direction by the head portion 8 and the caulking portion 9 of the fixing member 5, and the disk 21 and the connecting member 4 are securely fixed. Further, since the columnar shaft portion 7 is expanded in the radial direction during caulking, the columnar shaft portion 7 applies a compressive force to the inner peripheral surface of the hole portion 10 of the connecting member 4 and the hole 24 of the disk 21. The fixing member 5 is fixed to the disk 21 and the connecting member 4 with certainty. Thus, the connecting member 4 is held with a desired force by caulking the fixing member 5 accompanied by plastic deformation. When the connecting member 4 and the disk 21 are fixed via the fixing member 5, the detaching force of the fixing member 5 from the connecting member 4 can be controlled by the caulking force of the fixing member 5. In this case, it is possible to easily set the optimum force by controlling the force applied from both sides of the fixing member 5 in the axial direction. Therefore, the cutoff power value when the excessive transmission power is generated is set to a desired value with high accuracy. The Thus, the excessive transmission power for detaching the fixing member 5 from the connecting member 4 is accurately and easily set to a desired value by fixing by caulking accompanied by plastic deformation of the fixing member 5. Furthermore, the presence of the fitting portion 12 prevents the relative rotation between the fixing member 5 and the connecting member 4 more reliably, and more reliably prevents the occurrence of fretting wear and the like with higher accuracy. The cutoff power value is set.

  6 shows how the fixing member 5 is detached from the connecting member 4 when an excessive transmission power exceeding the set value is applied to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 (the basic embodiment is also shown in FIG. 1). Is exactly the same). In the state shown in FIG. 6A, when excessive transmission power larger than the caulking force plus the engaging force in the fitting portion 12 is applied, the fixing member 5 is detached from the hole 10 of the connecting member 4 (FIG. 6). (B)). In the case of detachment, in the fitting part 12, the convex part on the connecting member 4 side relatively moves so that the concave part on the fixing member 5 side is deformed into a groove shape. A groove 17 is formed that is open to the outer peripheral side of the. At the time of separation, the width of the notch 11 is set to be larger than the diameter of the hole 10, so that the fixing member 5 is smoothly separated without causing interference with the hole 10 formation portion. As a result of the detachment, the power transmission that has been performed from the driving side rotating member 1 and the disk 21 to the driven side rotating member 2 through the connecting member 4 until that time is interrupted (FIG. 6B). Even after the power transmission is cut off, the disk 21 side is rotated (idled), but as shown in FIG. 6C, the fixing bolt 22 rotates and hits the front shoulder of the connecting member 4 to fix the connecting member 4. Rotate around the member 6. When the connecting member 4 is rotated to the position shown in FIG. 6D, the drive-side rotating member 1 and the disk 21 are rotated without interfering with the connecting member 4, and the desired power transmission interruption is completed. To do.

  When the connecting member 4 is rotated around the fixing member 6 immediately after the power transmission is cut off, as shown in FIG. 7 showing a modified example of the apparatus of FIG. Further, a structure in which a pin-like protrusion 41 that is abutted against the connecting member 4 supported by the other anti-separation side fixing member 6 and rotates around the anti-separation side fixing member 6 is provided. Is preferred. In particular, the pin-like protrusion 41 is provided at a position farther in the radial direction of the rotating members 1 and 22 than the separation-side fixing member 5 (position on the outer diameter side in the radial direction) with respect to the anti-detachment-side fixing member 6. It is preferable. By providing such a dedicated pin-like protrusion 41, the connecting member 4 from which the fixing member 5 is detached can be quickly and retracted with less impact so as not to get in the way. In particular, by providing the pin-like protrusion 41 at a position closer to the outer diameter side than the fixing bolt 22 in the radial direction, the connecting member 4 can be smoothly rotated with a smaller impact.

  In the present invention, the fitting portion 12 can take various structures. Various structures are illustrated in FIGS. In the structure shown in FIG. 8A, as described above, the protrusion 15 formed in the connecting member 4 and the hole formed in the disk 21 so that the fitting part 12 protrudes toward the disk 21 side. The convex portion 13 formed on the connecting member 4 so as to protrude toward the head side of the fixing member 5 is configured by fitting with the portion 16 (shown in (a)). It is comprised in the structure fitted so that it may bite into (illustrated in (b)). In the structure shown in FIG. 8B, a plurality of fitting portions 12 having the same structure ((a) and (b)) are provided (two in the illustrated example, but three or more are also possible). ). In the structure shown in FIG. 8C, a fitting portion 31 that extends in a short arc shape is formed, and an arc-shaped convex portion 32 formed on the connecting member 4 so as to protrude toward the disk 21 side. It is configured by fitting with a hole 33 formed in a shape corresponding to the disk 21 (shown in (a)), or formed on the connecting member 4 so as to protrude toward the head side of the fixing member 5. The arc-shaped convex portion 34 is configured to be fitted so as to bite into the head of the fixing member 5 (shown in (b)). In the structure shown in FIG. 8D, a recess 35 extending in a crescent shape along the peripheral edge of the hole 10 is formed on any one surface of the connecting member 4, and the recess 35 is formed on the head side of the fixing member 5. It is fitted with the corresponding convex portion 36 provided (shown in (a)) or fitted with the corresponding convex portion 37 provided on the disk 21 side (shown in (b)). 8E, as shown in FIG. 8A, a notch 38 is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the connecting member 4 in which the hole portion 10 is formed (in the illustrated example, facing positions). In addition to the fixing member 5, a member 40 having a projection 39 corresponding to the notch 38 as shown in (b) is prepared, as shown in (c) and (d). Each of the protrusions 39 of 40 is fitted in the notch 38 of the corresponding connecting member 4 to be connected to the member 40. These members are caulked by the fixing member 5 with the material 4 and the disk 21 interposed between them.In the present invention, a fitting part structure other than the above exemplified structure may be adopted. Is possible.
