Description

  The present invention relates to a transmission.

Conventionally, there is disclosed a structure in which a power storage mechanism 57 is provided between a master arm 83 for operating a shift drum 90 and a shift spindle 55 in a transmission provided in a power unit of a motorcycle (for example, Patent Document 1). reference). This power storage mechanism is an effective mechanism for shortening the driving force loss time of the vehicle at the time of shifting. Here, the reference numerals are those of Patent Document 1.
More specifically, the shift spindle 55 of the power storage mechanism includes a master arm 83 that can rotate relative to the shift spindle, and a gear shift arm that can rotate relative to the shift spindle and rotate the master arm via its locking piece. 81 and a force accumulation collar 71 that rotates integrally with the shift spindle are provided, and an end portion of the force accumulation spring 57 is provided between the gear shift arm side locking portion 81a and the power storage collar side locking portion 71a. Each is locked. According to this configuration, when the shift spindle rotates, the gear shift arm receives a load that rotates the master arm from the accumulating collar side via the accumulating spring and pushes the master arm.
The master arm receives a load from the gear shift arm side and applies a force to the shift drum to turn it to the next gear position. However, in order to rotate the shift drum during the shifting operation, it is necessary to disengage the dog clutch engagement (contact between the dog tooth side surfaces) of the transmission gear, but the transmission receives the driving force from the engine side. In this state, a load is applied from the engine side to the side of the dog clutch of the transmission gear, and the dog clutch contact cannot be disengaged because the frictional force of the dog tooth contact surface is large. Therefore, the shift drum receives a load from the master arm side, but does not move until the clutch is disengaged, and the load stored in the accumulator spring increases as the rotation amount of the shift spindle increases. If the shift spindle further rotates and the accumulator spring can store enough stroke angle and accumulator load to rotate the shift drum to the next gear, the clutch is disengaged and At the moment when the frictional force applied to the dog clutch engagement portion is released, the gear can be moved at a stroke to shift the gear, and the gear can be shifted simply by disengaging the clutch.
The speed change operation is performed in the order of clutch disengagement, shift speed shift, and clutch engagement. During this period, the vehicle loses driving force due to the clutch being disengaged, but by adopting a power storage mechanism, the time required for shifting can be shortened. Can be shortened.

JP 2013-228079 A

By the way, there is a problem that it is desired to further reduce the time required for shifting while using the conventional power storage mechanism. For this purpose, it is effective to increase the moving speed of the speed change mechanism (gear shift arm, master arm, shift drum, etc.) by the power storage mechanism when the clutch is disengaged by increasing the load stored in the power storage spring. There are the following two methods for increasing the accumulated load. (1) Increase the spring constant of the accumulator spring. (2) Increase the set load of the accumulator spring (the load already applied at the initial position of the shift spindle). However, in the conventional structure, there is a problem in increasing the accumulated load only by adopting these two methods.
First, when the method (1) of increasing the spring constant of the power storage spring is adopted, the wire diameter of the power storage spring 57 arranged between the gear shift arm side locking portion 81a and the power storage collar locking portion 71a of the conventional structure. Will be raised. If the spring constant is increased, a new accumulated load that is the target for increasing the shift speed can be obtained while the shift spindle is rotating, but the accumulated load of the accumulated spring at the maximum rotation amount of the shift spindle during shift operation. Will also go up. Since the maximum torque that can be exerted by the actuator of the shift spindle (for example, a shift motor) is limited, it may be difficult to rotate the shift spindle by a predetermined amount if the accumulated load of the accumulation spring becomes too large. For example, in the structure of the conventional example, as shown in FIG. 16, the spring characteristic that is within the maximum torque range of the shift motor at the maximum spindle rotation angle increases the spring constant. The limit value due to the maximum torque will be exceeded. Here, in FIGS. 16 and 17, Fa is a target value of the spring load, and is set according to a necessary shift speed. Fm is a constraint value of the spring load and is determined by the maximum torque of the actuator (shift motor motor, etc.). Here, in FIG. 17, Fb is a target value of the spring load that is set larger than Fa according to the required shift speed.
Next, when the method (2) of increasing the set load of the energy storage spring is adopted, the energy storage spring 57 (line) arranged between the gear shift arm side locking portion 81a and the power storage collar locking portion 71a of the conventional structure. The spring torsion amount at the initial position is increased in order to increase the set load of the same diameter as the conventional example. As a result, the set load is increased, but when the shift spindle is rotated to obtain a stroke necessary for the speed change operation at the time of shifting, a larger stored force is applied to the accumulating spring. The wire diameter of the accumulating spring cannot be increased so much because the spring constant cannot be increased. However, if a large accumulating load is applied to this relatively thin spring, the accumulating load may not be increased due to the allowable stress of the spring. is there.
The present invention has been made in view of the circumstances described above, and is a transmission in which a power accumulation mechanism is provided between a master arm that rotates a shift drum and a shift spindle.

Here, the operation of the power storage mechanism 116 when shifting up will be described.
When the motor 93 of the actuator mechanism 74 is driven in accordance with the shift instruction of the control unit 17, the rotation of the shift spindle 94 is started. The direction of upshifting is the clockwise direction indicated by the symbol UP in the drawing.
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the vehicle travels in the shift-up direction from the neutral state.
In the state of FIG. 13, the side surface 147 c of the second locking piece 147 of the gear shift arm 130 abuts on the inner edge 150 a of the restriction opening 150 of the master arm 115 and the gear shift arm 130 cannot be rotated. This is a state in which the rotation is advanced, and in the following description, this state is referred to as a power accumulation preparation state.

  In the power storage preparation state, the gear shift arm 130 moves via the first power storage spring 135 and the second power storage spring 137 as the first power storage collar 133 and the second power storage collar 136 rotate. Only the first accumulation collar 133 and the second accumulation collar 136 are rotated together. For this reason, although the energy storage mechanism 116 is generally rotated in the upshift direction, there is no change in the amount of bending of the first energy storage spring 135 and the second energy storage spring 137, and the energy storage is started. Not. Further, in the power accumulation preparation state, the rotation amount of the master arm 115 from the neutral state is zero.

  Since the shift-down collar 132 rotates integrally with the gear shift arm 130 in the power accumulation preparation state, the dog teeth 153 are formed in the holes 146 of the gear shift arm 130 in the neutral state as shown in FIG. A gap is formed between one end and the other end of the hole 146.

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the shift progresses more than the stored power preparation state.
In the state of FIG. 14, the first accumulator spring 135 moves to the accumulator arm side while the position of the gear shift arm side end portion 135 a is fixed by the first locking piece 145 as the shift spindle 94 rotates. Only the end portion 135 b is rotated by a predetermined amount R by the first power accumulation arm 157.
Further, in the state of FIG. 14, the position of the gear shift arm side end portion 137a is fixed by the second force accumulation spring locking portion 147a as the shift spindle 94 is rotated. Only the energy storage arm side end 137 b is rotated by a predetermined amount R by the locking groove 163 of the second energy storage collar 136. In the following description, the state of FIG.

In the power storage state, the amount of bending of the first power storage spring 135 and the second power storage spring 137 is increased by a predetermined amount R, and the first power storage spring 135 and the second power storage spring 137 are increased. A predetermined amount of power storage of the spring 137 has been completed. Further, in the accumulated state, the rotation amount of the master arm 115 from the neutral state is zero.
In the accumulating state, the shift-down collar 132 is rotated together with the shift spindle 94 with respect to the gear shift arm 130 that is restricted by the restriction opening 150 and does not rotate. For this reason, in the accumulating state, as shown in FIG. 12C, the dog teeth 153 are located at an intermediate portion between one end and the other end of the hole 146 of the gear shift arm 130.

Referring to FIG. 5, the clutch lever 103 rotates integrally with the shift spindle 94, and with the rotation of the clutch lever 103, the pressing operation unit 112 moves in the axial direction and the shift clutch mechanism 71 is disconnected. . When the speed change clutch mechanism 71 is disconnected, the restraint of the master arm 115 by the speed change mechanism 70 is released, and the master arm 115 becomes rotatable. At the moment when the speed change clutch mechanism 71 is disconnected, the accumulated force of the energy accumulation mechanism 116 is released, and the master arm 115 rotates at once to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. To do. For this reason, gear shifting can be performed quickly. The master arm 115 rotates until the restriction opening 150 on the one end 131a side contacts the stopper pin 138.
In the present embodiment, there is provided a delay mechanism that disconnects the shift clutch mechanism 71 after the accumulation of power is completed. An example of the delay mechanism is a configuration in which a flat portion is provided on a part of the inclined cam portion 112a of the clutch operation mechanism 72.

When the accumulated force is released, the gear shift arm 130 rotates in the upshift direction with respect to the stopped downshift collar 132, and as shown in FIG. 12 (d), one end of the hole 146 of the gear shift arm 130. Comes into contact with the dog teeth 153. For this reason, when the shift spindle 94 is rotated in the downshift direction opposite to the upshift direction, the gear shift arm 130 can be quickly rotated in the downshift direction via the dog teeth 153.
When the completion of the shift is detected based on the detection result of the angle sensor 99, the control unit 17 reversely rotates the shift spindle 94, the master arm 115 returns to the neutral state, and the shift clutch mechanism 71 is connected. .

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating the load characteristics of the force storage mechanism 116. In FIG. 15, P1 is the load characteristic of the first energy storage spring 135, P2 is the load characteristic of the second energy storage spring 137, and P3 is the first energy storage spring 135 and the second energy storage spring. 137 and the load characteristic. Moreover, in FIG. 15, P is the load characteristic of the improved version of the conventional one accumulation spring.
Since the power storage mechanism 116 includes two power storage springs, a first power storage spring 135 and a second power storage spring 137 that are arranged in parallel, the load characteristic is the load characteristic of the first power storage spring 135. And the load characteristics of the second energy storage spring 137 are added together. For this reason, even if the 1st accumulation spring 135 and the 2nd accumulation spring 137 with a comparatively small spring constant are used, target load value Fb can be obtained. In addition, since a spring having a small spring constant can take a large amount of bending, the amount of bending of the spring constant can satisfy the target load value Fb by increasing the total amount of bending including the initial bending. it can. Further, since the spring constant is small, the amount of increase in the load in the predetermined rotation range of the shift spindle 94 can be reduced. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the total load of the two energy storage springs 135 and 137 from exceeding the maximum torque Fm of the motor 93.

As a result, a spring obtained by adding the spring characteristics of both the first energy storage spring 135 and the second energy storage spring 137 provided on the opposite side of the first energy storage spring 135 with the gear shift arm 130 interposed therebetween. Depending on the characteristics, a load can be applied to the gear shift arm 130. As a result, the set load can be increased without increasing the spring constant so much, so that the accumulated load can be increased without increasing the rotation amount of the shift spindle 94 and the maximum torque of the motor 93 which is the operation input unit. Can do.

Further, a return spring 131 for returning the master arm 115 to the initial position is locked to the second locking piece 147 of the gear shift arm 130, and the return spring 131 and the second power storage spring 137 are the same in the axial direction. It is arranged so as to overlap the inside and outside in the width direction and in the radial direction. For this reason, the arrangement space of return spring 131 can be used effectively, and the 2nd accumulation spring 137 can be provided compactly.
Furthermore, after the first locking piece 145 and the second locking piece 147 of the gear shift arm 130 both extend radially outward from the end of the gear shift arm 130 on the first power accumulation arm 157 side, They extend to the first energy storage spring 135 side and the second energy storage spring 137 side, respectively, and are arranged so that their positions in the circumferential direction are different. For this reason, the accumulated load applied to the first locking piece 145 and the second locking piece 147 can be dispersed, and the strength of the gear shift arm 130 can be easily secured.

The support portion 162 is provided as a second force accumulation collar 136 that rotates integrally with the shift spindle 94, and the support portion 162 has a radial length with respect to the coil portion 137 c of the second force accumulation spring 137.

Therefore, the support portion 162 can support the deformation of the second power storage spring 137 during power storage, and the support groove 162 can be used to lock the second power storage spring 137. It can be provided with a simple configuration.
In addition, since the second force accumulation spring 137 and the return spring 131 are provided so that their winding directions are reversed, the coil portion 137c and the coil portion 131c of the second force accumulation spring 137 and the return spring 131 are Cross each other. For this reason, even if the second power storage spring 137 and the return spring 131 come into contact with the deformation due to the power storage, it is possible to prevent one spring from entering the winding portion of the other spring.
