Detailed Description of the Invention

The present invention relates to a method capable of transmitting and outputting power between members, a utilization means utilizing the method, and a relative energy output method including power using the means.
Also, a method capable of transmitting and outputting the power by frictional force at the connection portion by using a means capable of preventing relative speed difference and sliding at the connection portion between the members, and a configuration utilizing the method. The present invention relates to a power transmission mechanism capable of transmitting and outputting power between members to be output, a device capable of functioning in cooperation with the mechanism, and the utilization means including work and system configuration etc. in which the method is relatively utilized.

First, the relationship between the occurrence of speed difference, transmission, and failure will be described.
For example, when a collision between a member and a member (including a device and a device) and sliding (meaning sliding movement or sliding movement) occur, a difference in relative speed occurs between the members, and the difference in speed is This is when it is transmitted between the members, and the transmission causes a failure such as impact, breakage, wear or sudden deceleration or sudden acceleration between the members.
On the other hand, when there is no obstacle such as collision or sliding between the members, when the moving speed and direction are the same, the movement of the connection part between the members is relatively equal acceleration motion, or between the members This is the case where the connection is relatively stopped or the transmission of the relative rolling trajectory at the connection between the members. In such a case, the relative speed at the connection between the members. There is no transmission of the difference, and there seems to be no failure.

Next, the terminology described in this specification for the following two applications (my application) that are accompanied by sliding at the site of connection between the members but are close to the spirit of the present invention will be described. A description will be given using symbols.
Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-292555 (Title of Invention: Structure capable of transmitting rotational power)
Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-330003 (Title of Invention ... Rotary power transmission structure)
First, one of the common features of the two applications is that the rotational power can be transmitted between the two members so that the rotational transmission radius ratio, the rotational speed, and the rotational speed ratio can be continuously maintained between the two members. Is a tentative name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” (hereinafter, used as a terminology for explaining the prior art and the present invention), and is generally, for example, Continuously Variable Transmission or Infinitely. This mechanism is called “Variable Transmission” or the like and is called using the initial part.
The structure, function, and purpose of the two applications are that the rolling member 5 positioned between the two members is wedged between the two members to form a wedge shape between the two members and the rolling member 5. The pressure and frictional force (sliding resistance force or anti-slip force such as traction or relative meshing force) at the connection part (meaning the connected part and the connected position) are strongly increased by the frictional force. Enables transmission and output of strong rotational power without any sliding (meaning sliding or sliding movement) between two members, and also changes the relative angle of the rotation center axis between the two members As a result, the rotation transmission radius ratio between the two members at the connection portion is changed, and the ratio of the rotation speed and the rotation speed of the output-side rotation member with respect to the input-side rotation member can be continuously freely (without a step). It was to make it possible to obtain.

When a large load is generated on the output side of the two members as a result of trial manufacture of the temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” based on the configuration according to the two applications and mounting it on a vehicle (two-wheeled vehicle). The pressure is increased and the frictional force is increased at the connection part between the rolling member 5 and the two members, and the rotation power is input, transmitted, the ratio of the rotation speed is changed between the two members, the output, and the rotation center axis. A drive resistance that is proportional to the increase of the pressure and frictional force is generated at all the connections including the change of the relative angle, and the ideal function is not obtained.
One of the causes of the drive resistance is a structure involving transmission and sliding of a relative speed difference between members at the connection portion, and an increase in pressure and frictional force at the connection portion is caused by sliding resistance and This seems to have led to an increase in driving resistance.
In addition, when a relatively small load is generated on the output side, the rotational power input, transmission, output, and change in relative angle can be freely changed (with no steps) in the ratio of rotational speed and rotational speed. All changes can be made smoothly and lightly, and it was close to expectations, but when transmitting rotation or moving the connected part in the radial direction, transmission of relative speed difference and sliding at the connected part It seems that various troubles will occur continuously due to the structure with, and ideally, further ingenuity was necessary.

Problems to be solved by the invention

In the present invention, the transmission of the relative speed difference generated at the connection portion that is pressed and connected to the rolling member 5 is transmitted to the relative rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 or the relative rolling of the connection portion. By avoiding at least one of the movement or transmission of the relative rolling trajectory at the connected part, avoiding the sliding at the connected part by avoiding it, between the members that have occurred conventionally One purpose is to reduce various obstacles such as wear, impact, and breakage due to transmission of relative speed differences (including between devices), and to obtain safety from members, mechanisms, devices, and work to the environment. I am trying.
It is another object of the present invention to realize any one of the members without any steps, even if the relative speed difference between the members is reduced and the relative speed difference is not increased.
An input-side rotating member that receives rotational power and rotates, and an output-side rotating member that can receive rotation power from the input-side rotating member and rotate with a difference in rotational speed. Is a power transmission mechanism capable of continuously changing the ratio of the rotation transmission radius ratio, the rotation speed and the rotation speed between the members freely (without a step). In the case of ”, most of the configurations according to the technology so far slide at least a little while utilizing the pressure and the frictional force at the connection part between the rotation transmission member of the input side rotation member and the output side rotation member. It is a configuration in which the rotation transmission radius ratio with the rotation transmission and the sliding is changed, and the fact that it involves the sliding is relative so that the part of the connection between the members skips from one to the next if strictly considered. Radial direction (center of rotation) Is inevitably transmission force of the rotary power is low while occurring deviation in order to be moved while shifted to mean directions) to and away from the close relative.
As a result of testing and testing a prototype "variable speed ratio variable mechanism" with a conventional belt drive and several disk types, the rotation speed of the output side rotating member is changed by changing the rotation transmission radius ratio during rotation. We confirmed the phenomenon that the vehicle was decelerated more than necessary both when accelerating and decelerating.
In this case, while the input side or output side rotating member itself has a shape capable of changing the rotation transmission radius ratio, the ratio is changed while sliding at the connection portion between the members. Because the frictional force is impaired, the transmission force of the rotational power is reduced, and deceleration or acceleration is repeated (for example, skipping or power transmission is repeated). This is accompanied by a change in the digital rotation speed with steps or interruptions.

A member capable of transmitting power by adopting a tentative name “variable speed ratio mechanism” in which the method for transmitting and outputting power between members according to the present invention and a utilization means utilizing the method are embodied. A strong frictional force that is proportional to the magnitude of the load is generated at the connection part between them, and the sliding shown above is strongly prevented to realize a strong torque transmission, and further, a direction different from the rotation transmission direction. A unique mechanism and device that enables relative rolling movement of the connected portion with respect to (for example, a direction intersecting the rotation transmission direction, a direction having a relative angle, or a rotation radial direction) is established. By using the mechanism and apparatus, it is possible to avoid transmission of a relative speed difference between the members, and to synchronize with the change of the rotational transmission radius ratio without sliding at the connected portion, and to accelerate without any time lag, Fast, stop, further is intended to safely allow even collisions.
In addition, the energy (for example, kinetic energy such as rotation, movement, power or the like obtained by the method of transmitting power between the members of the present invention and outputting the power and the relative energy output method using the utilization means utilizing the method) By using energy including drive resistance, electricity, sound, light, heat, etc., the purpose is to reduce the consumption of resources and the emission of harmful substances and improve the safety including the environment.

Including these, it means and indicates a utilization means (a kind of structure) that is realized by utilizing the advantages obtained from the structure, method, and features.

  Next, a method for transmitting and outputting power between members by using a connection configuration between members that can prevent sliding at the connection site, and some utilization means utilizing the method will be described.

(1) In a method capable of transmitting and outputting power between members and a utilization means utilizing the method,
Wall surface of member (planar wall surface, curved wall surface, columnar or cylindrical outer wall surface, cylindrical inner wall surface, wall surface consisting of spherical outer wall or inner wall with substantially the same radius centered at the center position Any other wall such as a wall having a different shape) and a rolling member that can be connected to the wall by being pressed and can rotate and rotate relative to the axial center to transmit a rolling trajectory to the wall. The rolling member can be connected by being pressed with the rolling member while sandwiching the rolling member between the wall surface and receiving the transmission of the rolling rotation of the rolling member centered on the shaft at the connection portion. A rotating member capable of rotating in a predetermined direction about a different axis, a surface shape capable of causing the rolling member to get stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface and the rotating member, and the connection part In this case, the pressure caused by any motive power is at least a pressure in a direction crossing the predetermined direction or a pressure that causes the rolling member to roll and move in the direction crossing the predetermined direction with respect to the rotating member. By receiving the transmission of power, it is possible to output a power different from the rotation of each axis center while the rolling member is stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface and the rotating member, and the output of the power is Enables rotation (continuous or non-continuous rotation) of the rotating member centered on the shaft in the predetermined direction along with the rolling movement of the relative position between the wall surface and the rolling member (which may be a connected portion). To make the best use of this method.

In this configuration, for example, the transmission of pressure by the power is relatively received in at least any part of the connecting part between the wall surface and the rolling member or the connecting part between the rolling member and the rotating member. The surface shape of the rotating member at the connection site with respect to the direction of movement of the rolling member is smoothly inclined relatively smoothly without any step, and the surface shape that prevents the rolling movement of the rolling member can be blocked. Depending on the surface shape that can be relatively locked at the connection site, or the surface shape that can block the rolling member in a wedge shape, the connection site between the wall surface and the rolling member and the rotation member and the rolling member There is an advantage that the power can be output while preventing or reducing sliding strongly at the connected portion.
In addition, since the rolling locus is transmitted to the wall surface by the rolling rotation of the rolling member, and the rotating member can be easily rotated in the predetermined direction, the rolling member and the rotating member can be rotated as well as the rolling member. There is an advantage that the power can be output while strongly preventing or reducing sliding between the member and the wall surface.
In addition, according to the configuration, a direction having an angle relative to the output direction while performing the output (for example, a direction crossing the output direction, a direction approaching or leaving the central axis) , Relative rotation radius direction, direction intersecting relative axis or direction parallel to the relative axis, etc.) and connecting the wall surface and the rolling member to each other and rolling the relative position to the wall surface and the rolling member. The advantage that can be achieved while preventing or reducing the sliding at the site of connection with is obtained.

  Further, as the rolling member gets stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface and the rotating member, or as the power (torque) transmitted to the input side member included in the configuration increases, or the configuration includes As the load on the output side member increases, the pressure and frictional force at each connection site between the wall surface and the rolling member and between the rolling member and the rotating member are proportional to the power and the magnitude of the load. By using the surface shape or configuration that can be increased, there is an advantage that power can be transmitted and output to a very large torque by strongly preventing sliding at each connection portion.

That is, when the rolling member is intended to roll and move in a direction intersecting with the predetermined direction, the surface of the rotating member prevents the rolling movement with respect to the direction of the rolling movement, and slowly gets stuck without any step. The configuration that enables this and the shape of the surface are one of the means that can prevent sliding by avoiding transmission of a relative speed difference at a connection portion between members capable of transmitting power according to the present invention.
Further, the rolling member is sandwiched between the wall surface and the rotating member so as to get stuck in a wedge shape, the rolling locus is transmitted between the wall surface and the rolling member, and the rolling member is rotated to rotate the rolling member. The structure capable of transmitting the rotation in a predetermined direction is a further means for avoiding the sliding by avoiding the transmission of the relative speed difference at the connection portion between the members capable of transmitting the power according to the present invention.

  Therefore, even if the portion of the connection between the wall surface and the rolling member is in a relative rolling movement or stopped, or a large load is applied to the output side member that outputs the power used in the configuration of the present invention. Even if it occurs, sliding is strongly prevented at the connection portion between the wall surface and the rolling member and at the connection portion between the rolling member and the rotating member, and the generation of rotational resistance in the predetermined direction of the rotating member is suppressed, and the power The transmission and rolling rotation of the rolling trajectory can be performed lightly and safely together with the input, transmission, output, and the location of the connection between the wall surface and the rolling member and the rolling movement of the relative position.

(2)... In the method shown in the above (1), in which the power can be transmitted and output between members and the utilization means utilizing the method, the wall surface is provided as a circular inner wall or an outer wall. You can also.
For example, the wall surface is a wall surface provided on a member that can rotate around the central axis (although it may not be able to rotate), and the central axis is centered on a columnar or cylindrical member having the same radius with respect to the central axis. The outer wall or the inner wall having the same radius may be provided, or the outer wall or the inner wall having the same radius with respect to the center position may be provided.
In this configuration, in addition to the characteristics and advantages shown in (1) above, the rotational power can be transmitted relatively to the member provided with the wall surface, and the member provided with the wall surface can be used as the rotational power. There is an advantage that it can be used as a member to be input or output.

(3) In a method capable of transmitting and outputting power between members and a utilization means utilizing the method,
A wall surface consisting of a spherical outer wall or inner wall with substantially the same radius around the center position, and a roll that can be pressed against and connected to the wall surface and can rotate and rotate relative to the axial center to transmit a rolling trajectory to the wall surface. The rolling member can be connected by being pressed with the rolling member while sandwiching the rolling member between the member and the wall surface, and receiving the transmission of the rolling rotation of the rolling member centered on the shaft at the connection portion. A rotating member capable of rotating in a predetermined direction about an axis center different from the shaft, and a surface shape capable of causing the rolling member to get stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface and the rotating member are different from the shaft. Two central axes capable of obtaining a relative angle with respect to the central position, and members capable of transmitting rotational power with a difference in rotational speed between the members. Rotational power is transmitted between the two members, a member that can rotate around one of the central shafts and a member that can rotate around the other and the central position. As a result, the rolling member receives the transmission of power for rolling and moving in a direction crossing the predetermined direction with respect to the rotating member, and thereby relative to the rotating member between the wall surface and the rotating member. The rotational power can be output from at least one of the two members while being stuck in a typical wedge shape, and the relative position between the wall surface and the rolling member (although it is the connection site) while being output. The rotation member can be rotated (continuous or non-continuous rotation) about the axis in the predetermined direction along with the rolling movement, and the two parts can be controlled according to the angle. Rotation transmission radius ratio between, a configuration that can utilize the method capable of changing the ratio of the rotational speed and rotational speed.

  In this configuration, in addition to obtaining the features and advantages shown in (1) and (2) above, for example, by changing the relative angle between the two central axes around the central position, The rotation speed, rotation speed, and rotation transmission radius ratio of any of the input side rotating member and the rotation power can be continuously changed freely (without a step), and the rotation power can be input by changing the ratio. The above-mentioned tentative “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” that can freely change the rotation speed ratio and the rotation speed ratio between the output side rotation members that are output (without a step) can be configured, and the advantages of the mechanism can be obtained. Can be used.

(4) In a method capable of transmitting and outputting power between members and a utilization means utilizing the method,
A wall surface composed of a spherical inner wall of substantially the same radius centered on a center position, a rolling member that can be pressed and connected to the wall surface, and can rotate and rotate relative to the axial center to transmit a rolling trajectory to the wall surface; The shaft can be connected to the rolling member while being pressed with the rolling member between the wall surface and receiving the transmission of the rolling rotation of the rolling member centered on the shaft at the connection portion. Are different shafts that can rotate in a predetermined direction around the center position (although not necessarily at the center position), and a relative wedge between the rolling member between the wall surface and the rotation member. The difference in the rotational speed between the member and the surface shape that can be stuck in the shape, two central axes that are different from the axis and that can obtain a relative angle around the central position, and Companion The angle can be obtained by two members: a member that can transmit rotational power and a member that can rotate about one of the two central shafts and a member that can rotate about the other one and the central position. When one of the two members is rotated in the state, the rolling member is stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface and the rotating member, and the other member is moved from the other one of the two members. Rotational power accompanied by a difference in the number of rotations can be output, and while being output, the center of the axis in the predetermined direction along with the rolling movement of the relative position between the wall surface and the rolling member (which may be a connecting part) The rotation member can be rotated (continuous or non-continuous rotation), and the rotation transmission radius ratio, the rotation speed, and the rotation speed ratio between the two members can be changed according to the size of the angle. Because A configuration that can take advantage of and that way.

  In this configuration, in addition to the features and advantages shown in (1), (2), and (3) above, the actual mechanism of the temporary name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” shown in (3) above is used. The design, processing, assembly, number of parts, weight, maintenance, etc. to be manufactured can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

(5) In the configuration shown in (1) to (4) above,
It is a pressure different from the pressure received from the input power, and the direction in which the rolling member gets stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface and the rotating member, or between the wall surface and the rolling member, or the A configuration using a pressurizing means capable of pressing the rolling member between the wall surface and the rolling member, between the rolling member and the rotating member, or in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction with respect to the rotating member is preferable. is there.
In this configuration, in addition to the characteristics and advantages shown in (1) to (4) above, for example, the rolling member is stuck between the wall surface and the rotating member so as to get stuck in a wedge shape. The rolling member is brought into close contact with the wall surface and the rotating member by applying pressure to the surface, and a frictional force is obtained at the contact portion (connecting portion) to connect the wall surface to the rolling member and the rotation. Since the rolling trajectory can be transmitted at the connection portion between the member and the rolling member, it is possible to strongly prevent the sliding at the connection portion, which is concerned about structurally, usage, or infrequently, and to transmit power. There is an advantage that the safety of the connection part can be obtained without being lost.

(6) In the configuration shown in (1) to (5) above,
The first rotating member, the second rotating member, the third rotating member, and the first rotating member and the second rotating member, which are rotatably held around a common central axis, can transmit rotation to both the first rotating member and the second rotating member. A held rotating member rotatably held by the third rotating member at an axis center different from the central axis, and between the first rotating member, the second rotating member, the third rotating member, and the held rotating member; The power is output by using a mechanism capable of transmitting rotational power while enabling the difference in rotational speed, or at least two of the first, second and third rotating members are A connection configuration that can rotate by receiving the power input to the configuration shown in (1) to (5) and the power output from the configuration is preferable.
In this configuration, in addition to obtaining the features and advantages shown in the above (1) to (5), for example, an external rotational power can be provided in the configuration shown in the above (1) to (5). If any member is transmitted to at least one of the members held by the first member, the first member, the second member, and the third rotating member, any member can be freely accelerated from a zero speed state (without a step). There is also an advantage that acceleration or deceleration or the number of rotations and the rotation speed can be freely changed freely or in a direction opposite to the forward direction (without steps).
Therefore, it is possible to configure a power transmission mechanism comprising the utilization means of the present invention and a complex apparatus that can function in cooperation with the mechanism.

(7)... Two central axes shown in the configuration described above, wherein the central axis moving means can move both or any one of the two central axes and change the relative angle between the two central axes. In the configuration provided with
In a state between relative members, for example, receiving a transmission from a transmission means capable of transmitting at least one of the following states: reduction in distance, increase in distance, approaching more than necessary, danger of collision, collision The relative angle is changed in conjunction with transmission from the relative member, and at least one speed of the relative member is reduced or accelerated to reduce a speed difference between the relative members, or It is also possible to use a configuration that enables at least any increase in the speed difference.
In this configuration, the vehicle (two-wheeled vehicle, automobile, train, moving means provided with other wheels, etc.) is driven in combination with at least one of the configurations shown in the above (1) to (6). When the vehicle is mounted on the vehicle so as to be able to output motive power capable of being output, it is possible to decelerate and stop in conjunction with the change in the relative angle without stepping on the brake without loosening the accelerator while preventing sliding at the connected part, or stepping on the accelerator. First of all, it is possible to obtain the advantage that the acceleration linked with the change of the relative angle can be realized instantaneously, and the advantage that the damage and failure due to the collision can be prevented or alleviated.

(8) In an apparatus configured to be able to function in cooperation with at least one of the respective configurations,
A moving device that can move or move the relative position (for example, a moving means including an automobile), a generator that can generate and output electricity, a relative power generating device such as a power plant or a power generation facility, etc. It is configured so that it can function in cooperation with a relative device including a structure, and the predetermined direction with respect to the rotating member is the rolling member at the site of connection between the rolling member and the rotating member. The power or relative energy can be output by accompanying the pressure by the power to roll and move in the intersecting direction and the rotation of the rotating member in the predetermined direction.
By using this configuration, for example, safety and durability can be improved while reducing the driving resistance at the connection part, and the output speed can be instantly changed to a free speed without any time lag, such as acceleration or deceleration of the output speed. A device that can transmit power and has the advantage of being able to instantaneously and safely obtain the energy saving effect and the desired relative speed.

(9) ... In the relative energy output method including the power using each of the above-described configurations or devices,
When one of the two members is rotated in a state where a relative angle can be obtained between the two central axes, the pressure or the rolling toward the direction intersecting the predetermined direction at the connection portion is obtained. The member is rolled between the wall surface and the rotating member by receiving the pressure transmitted by any power even if the pressure for rolling and moving the member in the direction intersecting the predetermined direction with respect to the rotating member is small. It is preferable to use a method or a configuration in which a member is stuck in a relative wedge shape and is output with repeated reciprocating rotational movement of the rotating member in the predetermined direction.

By using this configuration, for example, the transmission of the relative rolling trajectory at the site of connection between the wall surface and the rolling member and the site of connection between the rolling member and the rotating member is transmitted to the reciprocating rotational motion of the rolling member. The reciprocating motion of the rolling member is repeated, and the rotating member can be reciprocated in the predetermined direction.
By this reciprocating rotational motion, the rolling member and the rotational member are repeatedly extinguished by inertia (inertia) motion in a constant rotational direction, and the rotational speed output from the configuration (for example, power transmission mechanism) is increased or decreased. Even in this case, there is an advantage that unnecessary inertia force (inertia) and sliding can be prevented at the connection portion between the wall surface and the rolling member and at the connection portion between the rolling member and the rotation member.
In addition, it is possible to change the rotation speed and the rotation speed ratio between the members instantly and freely without any time lag (without a step) while preventing the driving resistance and sliding at the connected portion. There is an advantage that energy can be instantaneously increased and decreased including the output of rotational power while reducing the consumption of resources.

  A method capable of transmitting or outputting power between members by means of a relative frictional force at the connection portion using means capable of preventing or reducing transmission of a speed difference and sliding at a connection portion between members, and the method are utilized. The use means and the relative energy output method including the power using the use means will be described below using terms and symbols unified as an embodiment (example of configuration).

In addition, in the connection portion n between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7, it is possible to transmit rotational power between the rolling member 5 that can rotate around the shaft 13 and the rotating member 7 that can rotate around the shaft 15. This is a configuration that enables transmission and output of rotational power between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2.
In addition, in the connection portion m between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5, the transmission of the relative rolling locus of the rolling member 5 with respect to the wall surface 21 and the relative rolling movement of the connection portion m with respect to the wall surface 21. In this configuration, transmission and output of rotational power between the member 1, the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 can be made possible.
Further, by using the connection parts m and n, it is possible to relatively transmit and output rotational power between the member 1, the holding member 2, and the holding member 3 and between the wall surface 21, the rolling member 5, and the rotating member 7. It is a configuration.

In addition, the central axes 11 and 12 have a relative angle with respect to the center position 6 from the same axis, or the central axes 11 and 12 have changed relative angles, and the wall surface 21 is changed. The rolling member 5 is rotated about the shaft 13 and the rotating member 7 is rotated about the shaft 15, and the portion m connected in the radial direction with respect to the central shaft 11 rolls and moves without sliding. And a function capable of performing relative spin (meaning relative rotation or direction change between the members) at least in any of the connection portions m and n. It is a configuration.
Further, at the connection parts m and n, the sliding at the connection parts m and n is prevented by using a method enabling transmission of a relative rolling trajectory, an increase in pressure, and an increase in friction force. Rotation speed and rotation are instantaneously synchronized with the transmission and output of rotational power between the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 and the change of the rotation transmission radius ratio between the member 1 and the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2). In this configuration, the speed ratio can be continuously changed freely (without a stage).
That is, it is a power transmission mechanism that is used by using a method that can prevent the sliding at the connection portion between the members described above and can transmit and output the power by the frictional force at the connection portion. Is the tentative name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” described in (1).

  Next, details of the configuration of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

  In the member 1, the connection part m and the rolling member 5 are connected to the central shaft 11 in order to transmit rotational power with a difference in the rotational speed between the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2) and the member 1. On the other hand, a wall surface 21 comprising a smooth spherical outer wall having the same radius and centering on the center position 6 is provided so as to be able to roll and move in a relative radial direction. In order to prevent fatigue damage of the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 by receiving the pressure at the connection portion m generated by the rolling member 5 being stuck in a wedge shape without causing it to go straight to the central position 6 and elastically receiving it, the central shaft 11 is provided with a cylindrical round hole (which may be a through hole or a blind hole), and a rotating shaft 34 is inserted into the round hole and assembled and fixed so that it can be relatively rotated. However, the same effect can be obtained even if the wall surface 21 and the rotary shaft 34 are integrally formed and a round hole centered on the central axis 11 is provided in the rotary shaft 34.

  The rolling member 5 is not limited to the direction of fixed rotation and rotation about the shafts 13 and 14, but is a sphere that can rotate and rotate in any direction, and depending on the pressure received at the connection parts m and n. In order to prevent fatigue failure of the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21, four powers are arranged at 90 ° intervals on the circumferential surface of the wall surface 21 that should be substantially perpendicular to the central axis 12 and the central position 6. It is possible to receive the pressure by dividing.

  The structure for holding the rolling member 5 so as to be rotatable as described above uses two rolling bearings 41 (radial bearings with flanges shown in FIG. 2) capable of holding the rolling member 5 so as to be rotatable around the shaft 13. The rolling members 5 are held between the inner rings provided on the rolling bearings 41 with the inner rings provided at both ends of the rolling members 5 so that the rolling members 5 can be lightly rotated while holding the rolling members 5 accurately without being detached from the rolling bearings 41.

  The configuration in which the rolling member 5 is rotatably held as described above allows a slight smooth rotation about the shaft 14 while the rolling member 5 is held between the inner rings of the two rolling bearings 41. It is made up of a range.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rolling member 5 can be moved in the radial direction (approaching or moving away) with respect to at least one of the center position 6, the center axis 11, and the center axis 12. The outer ring and the flange of the rolling bearing 41 are held so as to be slightly slidable in the radial direction with respect to the holding member 2 as long as the rolling member 5 and the rolling bearing 41 are not detached from the holding member 2 and the required accuracy is maintained. Therefore, the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21 as well as the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7 can be in close contact with each other, and the rolling member 5 is configured in a movable range that can be wedged.

  The configuration in which the rotating member 7 is rotatably held around the shaft 15 includes, for example, a concave ring-shaped track having the same radius with respect to the center, and a rolling element that rotates and rotates with respect to the track and can transmit the rolling track. , Radial bearings, thrust bearings, ancillary bearings, and the like that are configured by relatively using members that can rotate about the center together with the rolling rotation of the rolling elements while sandwiching the rolling elements between the track and the track. 1 and 2, a rolling bearing structure 42 (a thrust bearing that can be supported by receiving pressure from the axial direction of the shaft 15) is used. And rolling bearings 43 (needle type radial bearings that can be supported by receiving pressure from the radial direction or radial direction of the shaft 15) The rotating member 7 and the holding member 3 can be rotated easily while maintaining accuracy while supporting in both the thrust direction and the radial direction against the strong pressure received at the connection parts m and n in a state where the wedge is stuck. Thus, the rolling bearings 42 and 43 are relatively engaged with each other.

  The surface of the rotating member 7 connected to the spherical surface of the rolling member 5 is an axial surface facing the shaft 15 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is a ring shape provided at an equal distance from the shaft 15 in the radial direction. The rotating surface 32 in the vicinity of the bottom of the concave curved groove 31 shown in the figure is configured, and the individual rolling members 5 are connected to each of the rolling members 5 using a total of four, one by one. The configuration is such that durability and safety can be achieved by relieving obstacles such as fatigue failure due to pressure and frictional force at the site n.

  The curved groove 31 provided in the rotating member 7 has a radius smaller than the radius between the center position 6 and the rotating surface 32 as shown in FIG. 2 and is slightly larger than the radius of the spherical surface of the rolling member 5 made of a sphere. As described above, the rolling member 5 is configured in the shape of a ring having a radius of curvature and capable of causing the rolling member 5 to become relatively wedge-shaped.

  In the connection portion n of the rotating member 7 connected to the spherical surface of the rolling member 5, the rotation direction of the rotating member 7 about the axis 15 is relative to the rotation direction of the holding member 3 about the center axis 12. And a position that is substantially perpendicular to or near the central axis 12 and the central position 6, and the rolling member 5 is connected between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 to the connection parts m and n. In this case, the position is configured to be relatively wedge-shaped.

As shown in FIGS. 2 (c) and 2 (d), the surface shape capable of causing the rolling member 5 to get stuck in a wedge shape between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 is between the wall surface 21 and the curved groove 31. The rolling member 5 composed of a spherical body is shown in a surface shape that can slowly get stuck in a relative wedge shape without any step in either of the arrow directions p and q. In addition, the surface shape is relatively constituted by the rotating surface 32.
Further, this wedge-shaped bouncing occurs when the rolling member 5 is sandwiched between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7, and the wall surface 21 rolls with a function similar to the principle of relative lever or the law of action and reaction. Since the pressure and frictional force at the connection part m with the member 5 and the connection part n between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7 can be increased smoothly from zero to no step, for example, how much load Even when the power is transmitted to the output side rotation member provided in the power transmission mechanism, it is possible to create the necessary pressure and frictional force in a range corresponding to the magnitude of the load.

  A configuration in which the ratio of the rotation transmission radius to the member 1 and the ratio of the number of rotations with respect to the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 can be changed relatively freely (without a step), and the central axis 11 with the center position 6 as the center The configuration in which the relative angle between 12 can be changed freely (without a step) is such that at least one of the holding members 4 and 8 is a relative angle with respect to the rotation direction around the central axis 11 or 12. A center axis moving means is provided which is capable of moving at least one of the relative positions of the center axes 11 and 12 by rotating in the arrow direction g around the center position 6. Yes.

  The rotation transmission configuration between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 around the central shaft 12 is relative to the curved groove 31 provided in the rotating member 7 attached to the holding member 3 and the holding member 2. 2 (c) and 2 (d), the constraining in the rotational direction around the central axis 12 or the relative irregularities in the rotational direction around the central axis 12 as shown in FIGS. Thus, the rotation transmission at a ratio of approximately 1: 1 is possible between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2.

The structure in which the rotation between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 can be relatively lightly rotated about the central axis 12 with respect to the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 when the rolling member 5 is stuck in a wedge shape. In this case, the rolling member 5 may have a slight rolling rotation around the shaft 14 and transmission of the rolling trajectory. In this case, since the positions of the connection parts m and n are different, the member 1 and the holding member 2 are used. There may be a physical displacement of the relative position between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 with a slight relative to the holding member 3 about the central axis 12 so as to correspond to this deviation. the lightly between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 is attached to the holding member 3 by the guide rails 51 and the bolt head 52 so as to maintain the accuracy without moving in parallel for the and the central axis 12 is turnable Sliding bearing Although by constituting the granulated is also possible to provide a rolling bearing structure.
However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 can be integrally or relatively fastened by using means capable of absorbing the deviation.

  Next, an outline of features of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

  For example, in the state shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as an example 1, a load is applied to the holding member 3, and the member 1 receives the input rotational power and is rotated once in the positive direction about the central axis 11, or an example 2, when the holding member 3 receives a transmission of input rotational power and is rotated once in the positive direction around the central shaft 12, the drawing of the rotating member 7 centered on the shaft 15. Rotational power for rolling and moving the rolling member 5 in a direction intersecting with the inner rotational direction k (predetermined direction) is transmitted, and the rotational direction k of the rotating member 7 is connected at the connection parts m and n. Is transmitted between the rolling member 5 and the rolling member 5 while being pressed between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 at the connection site m while being transmitted between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7 at the connection site n. Is about the shaft 14 with respect to the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7. A slight rolling rotation (a kind of rotation) and a relative rolling trajectory are transmitted, and transmission of the rolling trajectory or power transmission or connection of the rolling movement is performed at the parts m and n of the rotating member 7. The rolling member 5 rotates with the wall surface 21 according to the surface shape while sliding is prevented at the connection parts m and n by at least one of the transmission of power in the direction intersecting the rotation direction k. There is a wedge shape between the member 7 and the connection parts m and n are further pressed.

As the wedges get stuck, the pressure at the connection portions m and n is increased without steps so as to be proportional to the magnitude of the load and the rotational power. The frictional force between the members is also increased in the same manner, and this frictional force enables transmission and output of strong rotational power at the connection portions m and n. In the case of Example 1, the holding member 2 is followed by the rotation of the member 1. However, the holding member 3 is rotated in the positive direction which is relatively common to the center axis 12 and the center position 6 as described above. In the case of Example 2, the holding member 2 is rotated by the center axis 12 following the rotation of the holding member 3. The member 1 is rotated about the central position 6 in the positive direction and rotated about the central axis 11 and the central position 6 in the common positive direction.
However, when the central shafts 11 and 12 are located on the same axis, the member 1, the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 are rotated approximately once, but the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 is centered on the central position 6. In the case of Example 1, the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 are decelerated and rotated less than one rotation. In the case of Example 2, the holding member 2 is rotated approximately once, but the member 1 is The speed increases over 1 rotation.

For example, even in a state where the wedge is stuck and pressed by the parts m and n of the connection, when at least one of the center shafts 11 and 12 is rotated around the center position 6 (for example, a holding member) 4 or 8 may be rotated about the central position 6), or the member 1 in a state where the central axes 11 and 12 have a relative angle with respect to the central position 6. In the case of the above-described rotation transmission between the holding member 2 and the holding member 3, the spin at the connection portion m between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 or the connection portion n between the rolling member 5 and the rotation member 7 (between members) Relative rotation or direction change), and a portion m connected to the central axis 11 in the radial direction (arrow direction g) and rolling movement of the rolling member 5 (rolling of the rolling member 5 around the axis 13). Rotation) with at least 13 rotary member 7 for receiving the transmission of rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 is mainly will be lightly rotated in a predetermined direction around the axis 15 while being held by the roller bearings 42 and 43.
In other words, the member 1 and the holding member 3 (the holding member 2 is attached to the holding member 2) are accompanied by a rolling movement in the radial direction of the connection part m with respect to the central axis 11 and at least one of the spins at the connection part m or n. The rotation transmission radius ratio and the rotation speed ratio can be continuously and freely different (without a step) at the connection portion m. The member 7 is configured to be rotated around the respective shafts 13 and 15.

If the configuration shown in the first embodiment is the temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” described above, the transmission and output of rotational power between members, the ratio of the rotational transmission radius ratio, the rotational speed and the rotational speed can be changed. This can be performed at the connection portion m between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5, and the input side rotating member to which the rotational power is input according to the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 and the output side from which the rotational power can be output. The rotation transmission radius ratio, the rotation speed, and the rotation speed ratio between the rotating members can be continuously changed freely (without steps).
For example, no matter how large a load is generated on the output side rotating member, the transmission of the speed difference is avoided and transmitted by transmitting the relative rolling trajectory and rolling at the connection parts m and n. Because it is possible to generate a strong pressure and frictional force that is proportional to the magnitude of the load and the rotational power without stepping, the connection part can also be used in the transmission of rotational power, the output rotational speed, and the rotational speed. In m and n, sliding is strongly prevented, and a powerful rotational power and rotational speed can be instantaneously transmitted and output in synchronism with the operation of changing the rotational transmission radius ratio without any time lag or time loss.

  Next, details of features and functions of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

As for the ratio of the rotation transmission radius ratio, the rotation speed, and the rotation speed between the member 1 and the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2), for example, as shown in FIG. Assuming that the connection part m is a part for transmitting rotational power between the member 1 and the holding member 3, the vertical distance (rotation transmission radius) between the central axis 12 of the rotation of the holding member 3 and the connection part m is x. When the vertical distance (rotational transmission radius) between the central axis 11 of rotation of the member 1 and the connection portion m is y, the rotational transmission radius ratio between the holding member 3 and the member 1 is x: y.
In the case of FIG. 1A, since x> y, the distance y is smaller than x.
For example, as can be compared in FIG. 1A, if the holding member 3 is rotated 10 times as the input side rotation member, the member 1 that becomes the output side rotation member becomes 12.5 , as x = 5 and y = 4. If the member 1 is rotated 10 times as the input side rotating member, the holding member 3 is rotated 8 times .
Further, although the connection part m is shown up and down in FIG. 1A, the holding member 3 is rotated 90 degrees around the central axis 12 and the connection part around the center position 6 in the figure. Even when m is moved to the connection part m ′, the ratio of the rotational transmission between the holding member 3 and the member 1 can be x: y (for example, x = 5, y = 4 ) similar to the above.
This is because it is assumed that x, y, and z shown in the figure are “vectors” that can indicate the amount expressed in the direction in which the force is applied or the distribution of the force, and the like, and the holding member 3 is a member at the connection portion m ′. Assuming that rotational power is transmitted from 1, the distance between the position where the line indicated by y on the central axis 11 intersects with the central position 6 and the arrow direction are z, and between the central position 6 and the connection part m And the direction of the line indicated by x, y, z, where y is the distance between the position where the line indicated by y on the central axis 11 and the connecting portion m and the arrow direction are indicated by y. The “vector” can be relatively indicated by the length, and if this x, y, z is utilized, a ratio similar to the relative rotation transmission radius ratio between the holding member 3 and the member 1 can be obtained.

For example, when the member 1 is rotated in the forward direction around the central axis 11 and the connection part m ′ is moved to the connection part m, it is assumed that the direction of the original rotational force is the arrow direction y and the actual connection The part m ′ is moved in the arrow direction x, which is the connection part m.
By utilizing the Pythagorean theorem (the Pythagorean theorem) this can represent x by the following equation.
(X squared = y squared + z squared) ... the square theorem,
x = √ (square of y + square of z ).
Considering closely according to the “vector” and the “three-square theorem”, x is a relative resultant force of y and z, and z in this state is about the axis of the rolling member about the axis 13 with respect to the wall surface 21. This corresponds to the relative distance to which the rolling locus of the connection part m due to rolling rotation is transmitted, and x is the distance between the connection part m (including m ′) and the central axis 12 in any case. It can be assumed that there is no change and that y is the direction of the rotational power transmitted by the member 1 to the holding member 3 (the rotational direction centered on the central axis 11) and the moving distance when viewed from a relative viewpoint. .
Therefore, even if there is a difference between the connection parts m and m ′, the ratio of the rotation transmission between the holding member 3 and the member 1 is the same value as described above, and x = 5, y = 4 and z = 3. The holding member 3 and the member 1 can continue to rotate with a difference in rotational speed.

  If the power transmission mechanism shown in the first embodiment is used, the existing temporary name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” or a moving device that can move the relative position is not accompanied or prevented by sliding at the connection portion m. Even without using brakes or electromagnetic clutches that are incidentally used in moving means including vehicles etc.), it is possible to continue without the above-mentioned sliding and time lag (time difference) while obtaining functions that could not have been expected. The tentative “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” that can change the rotational speed and the rotational speed ratio, a moving device that can move the relative position, or a power generating device that can generate power can be configured to save energy and provide relative safety. It can also be obtained.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are examples of a method that can transmit and output power between members, and a utilization means that can utilize the method, and power transmission that uses means that can prevent sliding at the site of connection between members. It is a figure which shows the characteristic of 2nd Embodiment of a mechanism, and is a figure which shows the characteristic of embodiment of tentative name "rotational speed ratio variable mechanism" demonstrated above.

The most different point of the second embodiment from the first embodiment is that the wall surface 21 is a wall surface composed of a spherical inner wall, and the rotating member 7 provided with the rotating surface 33 intersects the central axis 12 substantially perpendicularly. From the radial rotation surface 33 and the spherical inner wall, which are held so as to be rotatable relative to the holding member 3 around the shaft 15 and the center position 6. That is, the configuration in which the rolling member 5 is sandwiched between the wall surface 21 and the wall surface 21 is used.
The configuration shown in the second embodiment is different from that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in FIGS. 3 and 4 in many respects, but the function is substantially the same as the contents shown in the first embodiment. In order to show an accurate understanding, the terms and symbols used in the first embodiment will be used in the same way.

  First, an outline of the configuration of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described.

The member 1 provided with a spherical wall surface 21 having substantially the same radius with respect to the center position 6 (the wall surface 21 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is an inner wall surface), the center axis 11 passing through the center position 6, and the center position 6 The holding member 4 that holds the member 1 rotatably in the rotation direction f in the drawing (used in the same meaning as the shaft support) and the rotation direction f have a relative angle (in the drawing) A plurality of rolling members 5 (spheres) connected so as to be able to transmit a relative rolling trajectory relative to the wall surface 21 in the arrow direction g), and a central axis that is different from the central axis 11 and passes through the central position 6 relative angle (Fig. with respect to the central axis 12 at 12 and the center position 6 rotatably a member held that provided the distance to the central axis 12 located in the rotation direction h in FIG mainly rotation friendly member 5 rolling about an axis 13 having a substantially 90 degrees) in the middle The shaft 14 also rotatably held slightly the member 5 rolling around the and center position 6 and the central axis 11, which is crossed with respect to the axis 13 with made substantially parallel to the holding and the central axis 12 to the The holding member 2 that holds the rolling member 5 so as to be slightly movable in the radial direction with respect to at least one of the central shafts 12 and the shaft 13 while the rolling member 5 is sandwiched between the wall surface 21 The rotating member 7 rotated by receiving the transmission of the rolling rotation of the rolling member 5, and the central shafts 11 and 12 and the shafts 13 and 14 are different axes, and the central shaft 12 is a central position 6. And the shaft 15 having a relative angle (substantially perpendicular in FIGS. 3 and 4) and the center position 6 as a center, the rotary member 7 is rotatably held in a predetermined direction (rotation direction k in the drawing). Centering on center axis 12 and center position 6 The holding member 3 that holds the holding member 2 so as to be relatively pivotable, and the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 can be rotated in the rotation direction h in the drawing with the central shaft 12 and the center position 6 as the center. The holding member 8 held relatively to the rotation direction j of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13 and the rotation direction k of the rotation member 7 centered on the shaft 15 are directions having a relative angle. A rotational power centered on at least one of the central position 6, the central shaft 11, and the central shaft 12 is applied to a portion m for connection between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 and a portion n for connection between the rolling member 5 and the rotational member 7. The surface shape which can make the rolling member 5 get stuck in a relative wedge shape between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 by receiving relatively is relatively provided.

In the above-described configuration, the member 1 held rotatably around the central axis 11 and the holding member 3 held rotatably around the central axis 12 and the member held rotatably around the central axis 11 1 and the holding member 2 that is rotatably held around the central shaft 12, between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 that is rotatably held around the central shaft 12, and a rolling that can rotate around the shaft 13. In this configuration, rotational power can be transmitted and output between the rotating member 7 that can rotate around the member 5 and the shaft 15 and the center position 6.
Further, between the member 1 and the holding member 3 that are rotatably held around the center position 6, between the member 1 and the holding member 2 that are rotatably held around the center position 6, and around the center position 6. This is a configuration that can transmit and output rotational power between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 that are rotatably held.
In addition, in the connection portion n between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7, it is possible to transmit rotational power between the rolling member 5 that can rotate around the shaft 13 and the rotating member 7 that can rotate around the shaft 15. This is a configuration that enables transmission and output of rotational power between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2.
In addition, in the connection portion m between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5, the transmission of the relative rolling locus of the rolling member 5 with respect to the wall surface 21 and the relative rolling movement of the connection portion m with respect to the wall surface 21. In this configuration, transmission and output of rotational power between the member 1, the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 can be made possible.
Further, by using the connection parts m and n, it is possible to relatively transmit and output rotational power between the member 1, the holding member 2, and the holding member 3 and between the wall surface 21, the rolling member 5, and the rotating member 7. It is a configuration.

In addition, the central axes 11 and 12 have a relative angle with respect to the center position 6 from the same axis, or the central axes 11 and 12 have changed relative angles, and the wall surface 21 is changed. The rolling member 5 is rotated about the shaft 13 and the rotating member 7 is rotated about the shaft 15, and the portion m connected in the radial direction with respect to the central shaft 11 rolls and moves without sliding. And a function capable of performing relative spin (meaning relative rotation or direction change between the members) at least in any of the connection portions m and n. It is a configuration.
Further, at the connection parts m and n, the sliding at the connection parts m and n is prevented by using a method enabling transmission of a relative rolling trajectory, an increase in pressure, and an increase in friction force. Rotation speed and rotation are instantaneously synchronized with the transmission and output of rotational power between the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 and the change of the rotation transmission radius ratio between the member 1 and the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2). In this configuration, the speed ratio can be continuously changed freely (without a stage).
That is, it is a power transmission mechanism that is used by using a method that can prevent the sliding at the connection portion between the members described above, and that can transmit and output power by the frictional force at the connection portion. Is the tentative name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” described in (1).

  Next, details of the configuration of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described.

In the member 1, the connection part m and the rolling member 5 are connected to the central shaft 11 in order to transmit rotational power with a difference in the rotational speed between the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2) and the member 1. On the other hand, it is possible to roll and move in a relative radial direction, and so that the pressure at the connection portion m generated by the rolling member 5 becoming wedged can be detoured, distributed and elastically received without going straight to the central position 6. The rolling member 5 is moved in the centrifugal direction under the influence of centrifugal force by the rotation of the holding member 3 around the central shaft 12 and is pressed against the wall surface 21 to facilitate close contact. to enable, is provided with a wall 21 consisting of a smooth spherical inner wall of the same radius around the center position 6, the rotary shaft 34 and the member 1 which further can around the central axis 11 of rotation Relatively fastened or fixed to and is configured.

  The rolling member 5 uses a sphere for the same purpose as shown in the first embodiment, and a central shaft 12 and a center for preventing fatigue failure of the rolling member 5 due to the relative pressure received at the connection portions m and n. Two rolling members 5 are arranged at an interval of 180 degrees on the inner wall surface of the wall surface 21 at a position that should be substantially perpendicular to the position 6, and the pressure can be divided and received.

  The rolling member 5 can be rotated and rotated as described above, and the rolling member 5 can be moved in the radial direction (approaching or moving away) with respect to at least one of the central position 6, the central shaft 11, and the central shaft 12. The configuration held in FIG. 6 uses a similar configuration with the same purpose as described in the first embodiment.

  The configuration in which the rotating member 7 is rotatably held around the shaft 15 is, for example, a rolling bearing provided with a rolling element capable of rolling and rotating with respect to a concave ring-shaped track, and a rolling bearing 44 (in FIG. 15 radial ball bearings that can be supported by receiving pressure from the radial direction or radial direction), and thrust against the strong pressure received at the connection parts m and n in a wedge-like state The cylindrical inner ring 36 provided in the rolling bearing 44 is relatively engaged with the holding member 3 so that the rotating member 7 can rotate easily while being supported in both the radial direction and the radial direction. Although the cylindrical outer ring 37 provided is used as the rotating member 7, the rotating member 7 may be fitted and attached to the outer ring 37.

  The surface of the rotating member 7 connected to the spherical surface of the rolling member 5 is a cylindrical outer wall surface of the same radius centered on the center position 6 and the shaft 15, and is a rotating surface 33 that is substantially parallel to the shaft 15. The shaft 12 and the shaft 15 are located in the vicinity of a position substantially perpendicular to each other, and are connected so as to be sandwiched between the two rolling members 5 from both side surfaces of the single rotating member 7.

  In the connection portion n of the rotating member 7 connected to the spherical surface of the rolling member 5, the rotation direction of the rotating member 7 about the axis 15 is relative to the rotation direction of the holding member 3 about the center axis 12. And a position substantially perpendicular to or near the central axis 12 and the central position 6, and the rolling member 5 between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 is connected to the connection portion m. And n are positioned so as to be relatively wedge-shaped.

  As shown in FIGS. 4D and 4E, the surface shape capable of causing the rolling member 5 to get stuck in a wedge shape between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 is the rotation surface 33 and the wall surface substantially parallel to the shaft 15 as shown in FIGS. The rolling member 5 (sphere) positioned between the surface 21 and the wall 21 is shown in a surface shape that can smoothly and smoothly get stuck in a relative wedge shape in either direction of the arrow p or q. The surface shape is constituted by the rotating surface 33.

  A configuration in which the ratio of the rotation transmission radius and the number of rotations to the member 1 with respect to the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 can be continuously changed freely (without a step), and the central axis 11 with the center position 6 as the center The configuration in which the relative angle between 12 can be changed smoothly and continuously (without a step) is such that at least one of the holding members 4 and 8 is rotated with respect to the rotation direction around the central axis 11 or 12. There is provided a central axis moving means that is capable of moving at least one of the relative positions of the central axes 11 and 12 by rotating in the arrow direction g around the central position 6 in a direction having a relative angle. It is composed.

  The rotation transmission configuration between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 centered on the central shaft 12 is relative to the rotation surface 33 provided on the rotation member 7 attached to the holding member 3 and the holding member 2. As shown in FIGS. 4 (d) and 4 (e), depending on the connection with the attached rolling member 5, the constraint in the rotational direction about the central axis 12 or the combination of relative irregularities in the rotational direction about the central axis 12. The rotation transmission at a ratio of 1: 1 is possible between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2.

The structure in which the rotation between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 can be relatively lightly rotated about the central axis 12 with respect to the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 when the rolling member 5 is stuck in a wedge shape. In this case, the rolling member 5 may have a slight rolling rotation around the shaft 14 and transmission of the rolling trajectory. In this case, since the positions of the connection portions m and n are different, the member 1 and the holding member 2 may be used. There may be a physical displacement of the relative position between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 with a slight relative to the holding member 3 about the central axis 12 so as to correspond to this deviation. lightly slip between the holding member 3 and the holding member 2 is attached to the holding member 3 by the guide rails 51 and the bolt head 52 so as to maintain the accuracy without translation against the rotatable to be allowed and the central axis 12 Bearing structure Although by constituting it is also possible to provide a rolling bearing structure.
However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 can be integrally or relatively fastened by using means capable of absorbing the deviation.

  Regarding the assembly method of the configuration in the second embodiment, the holding members 2 and 3, the rotating member 7, and the rolling member 5 are inserted into the wall surface 21 formed of a spherical inner wall, but the holding member 2 is inserted. It is easier for the assembly work to use a method in which a part of both sides of the outer periphery of the holding member 2 is cut out and inserted into the wall surface 21 made of the inner wall, and the structure is assembled in the wall surface 21 made of the inner wall. .

  Next, features and functions of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be described.

  The above “Description of Outline of Features of First Embodiment Shown in FIGS. 1 and 2” and “Description of Details of Features and Functions of First Embodiment Shown in FIGS. 1 and 2” 3 and FIG. 4 apply similarly to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 4, so that the explanation given in the first embodiment is replaced with the explanation of the second embodiment (for example, the first embodiment is replaced with the second embodiment). And replaces FIG. 1 (a) with FIG. 3 (a) and applies mutatis mutandis to the description of the second embodiment.

As a result, the configuration of the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is slightly different from the shape and configuration shown in the first embodiment, but the features and functions shown in the first embodiment can be obtained. it can.
In addition, since the second embodiment can reduce the number of parts with a simple configuration as compared with the configuration of the first embodiment, the manufacturing cost, weight, volume, driving resistance, and the like can be further reduced.
Further, since the wall portion 21 of the connecting portion m between the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21 is a concave spherical surface with respect to the convex spherical surface of the rolling member 5, the distortion due to the surface pressure at the connecting portion compared to the configuration of the first embodiment. This can be advantageous in terms of durability and safety.
Further, when the holding members 2 and 3 are rotated about the central axis 12, the rolling member 5 generates a thrust in the centrifugal direction, and thereby the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21 are brought into close contact with each other. Therefore, the rolling member 5 can easily transmit a rolling locus to the wall surface 21, and therefore the rolling member 5 is easily wedged between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7, and the connection portion m In order to prevent the transmission of the speed difference and prevent the sliding, the structure is further suitable.

FIG. 5 is an example of a method that can transmit and output power between members, and a utilization means that can utilize the method, and shows a first example of a power transmission mechanism that uses means that can prevent sliding at the site of connection between members. It is a figure which shows the characteristic of 3 embodiment, and is a figure which shows the characteristic of embodiment of tentative name "rotational speed ratio variable mechanism" demonstrated above.

FIG. 4B is a plan view of FIG.
FIG. 4C is a view in which a relative angle is provided between the central axes 11 and 12 based on the above-described FIG.
The third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a), 5 (b), and 5 (c) partially omitted using the configuration and symbols of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, but omitted or insufficient. The contents to be applied shall apply the configuration and description shown in the first or second embodiment.

  First, the outline of the configuration of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

A member 1 that is held rotatably about a central axis 11, a holding member 3 that is held rotatably about a central axis 12, and a holding member 2 are used. There are provided two sets of the configuration shown in the first embodiment that can change the relative angle between the central shafts 12 and can transmit the rotation between the member 1 and the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2). A pair is configured, and one of the two sets is an A row, and the other set is a B row, and rotational power can be input, transmitted, and output between the A row and the B row.
Further, the transmission of the rotational power is not changed to the configuration performed at the connection parts m and n shown in the above embodiments.

  Next, details and features of the configuration of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5 will be described.

  In this third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the central axis 11 of the B row is arranged in parallel to the central axis 12 of the A row, and the B of the central axis 11 of the A row is B. The central axis 12 of the row is arranged in parallel, between the central axis 11 of the A row and the central axis 12 of the B row, between the central axis 12 of the A row and the central axis 11 of the B row, and the central position 6 and B row of the A row. The relative distance between the central positions 6 is arranged at substantially the same distance, and the line connecting the central position 6 of the A row and the central position 6 of the B row is arranged perpendicular to the central axes 11 and 12, A gear 61 is attached and fixed to the rotating shaft 34 of the member A in the A row, and a gear 62 is attached and fixed to the rotating shaft 35 of the holding member 3 in the B row so that rotation can be transmitted between the gears 61 and 62. By connecting, the rotation transmission between the holding member 3 of the A row and the member 1 of the B row is enabled, and the holding portion of the A row 3 and the rotation shaft 35 and the B row member 1 and the rotation shaft 34 are held rotatably with respect to the holding member 4, and the A row member 1 and the rotation shaft 34 and the B row holding member 3 and the rotation shaft 35 are held. The member 8 is configured to be rotatably supported.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, the holding member 8 is rotated around the axis 9 passing through the center position 6 of the A row and the B row to move the relative position between the center shafts 11 and 12. A central axis moving means capable of changing the relative angles of the central axis 11 of the A row and the central axis 12 of the B row with respect to the central axis 12 of the A row and the central axis 11 of the B row by the central axis moving means. Is configured.
Accordingly, the rotation transmission from the holding member 3 in the A row to the member 1 in the A row to the holding member 3 in the A row from the holding member 3 in the A row to the holding member 3 in the B row, and vice versa. Rotation can be transmitted from the member 1 to the holding member 3 in the B row to the holding member 3 in the B row to the member 1 in the A row from the member 1 in the A row to the holding member 3 in the A row. By changing the relative angle, it is possible to continuously and freely change the rotation speed ratio and the rotation speed ratio (without steps).

For example, if the ratio of x : y used in the description of the first embodiment is 2: 1 , for example , in the configuration of the third embodiment, ( 1/2) × (1/2) = 1/4.
Or ( 2/1) x (2/1) = 4/1 ,
It can be seen that the ratio of rotation transmission , the number of rotations, and the ratio of rotation speed can be expanded .
Accordingly, in the third embodiment consisting of a pair, by changing the relative angle, for example, rotation transmission from the holding member 3 in the A row to the member 1 in the B row can be accelerated at a high rate, and the member 1 in the B row In the rotation transmission from to the holding member 3 in the A row, a reduced rotation with a high ratio is possible.

In addition, the third embodiment is configured by using a pair of the configurations described in the first embodiment, but the third embodiment may be configured by using a pair of the configurations of the second embodiment, or the first embodiment and the first embodiment. It is possible to configure the third embodiment using both of the two embodiments, and it is also possible to provide not only a pair but also a plurality of the embodiments so that rotation can be transmitted.
In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the rotation directions of the holding members 3 in the A row and the members 1 in the B row are relatively opposite to each other, but can rotate relatively in the same positive direction. Can also be configured.
In the third embodiment, the A-row holding member 3 and the B-row member 1 that can serve as an input-side rotating member to which rotational power is input or an output-side rotating member from which rotational power is output are maintained at predetermined positions. Therefore, it is convenient for use.

FIG. 6 is an example of a method capable of transmitting and outputting power between members and a utilization means utilizing the method, and shows a first example of a power transmission mechanism using means capable of preventing sliding at a connection portion between members. It is a figure which shows the characteristic of 4 embodiment, and is a figure which shows the characteristic of embodiment of tentative name "rotational speed ratio variable mechanism" demonstrated above.
In addition, using the configuration of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the rotational power and the input side rotational member to which rotational power is input with a relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 around the central position 6 It is a top view showing the rotation transmission method between the output side rotation members output.
FIG. 6A shows a method for transmitting rotational power between the holding member 4 and the holding member 3.
FIG. 6 (b) shows a method of transmitting rotational power between the holding member 4 and the member 1,
FIG. 6C shows a method of transmitting rotational power between the holding member 8 and the member 1,
FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a method for transmitting rotational power between the holding member 8 and the holding member 3.
The fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6 which is partially omitted using the configuration and symbols of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but the contents omitted or omitted are the first or second embodiment. It shall apply mutatis mutandis using the configuration and description shown in.

The maximum features of the configuration of the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D are as follows.
While using a configuration substantially the same as that of the first embodiment, it is a configuration that can output a rotational transmission radius ratio difference generated relatively between the member 1 and the holding member 3 (including the holding member 2) as rotational power. .
Further, in the first embodiment, the holding member 3 and the holding member 3 having relatively different rotational speeds, the holding member 3 and the holding member 8, and the member 1 and the holding member 4 are used to hold the holding member 1 and the holding member 4. A method in which at least one of the member 3, the holding member 4, and the holding member 8 is relatively fixed, and rotational power is input to at least any of the members 3, the rotating member, and the rotational power is output from at least any of them. Is shown.

  First, an analysis related to the rotational speed described in the configuration of the first embodiment will be shown.

For example, when the rotation transmission radius ratio between the holding member 3 and the member 1 used in the first embodiment is 1: 1, the central axes 11 and 12 are positioned on the same axis, and the numerical values of the holding member 3 and the member 1 are the same. There is no difference in the rotational speed.
When the rotation transmission radius ratio between the holding member 3 and the member 1 is 3: 2, there is a difference in the rotation speed between the holding member 3 and the member 1, which is ½ of one rotation of the input rotational power. A difference in rotation speed or a difference in rotation speed of 1/3 occurs, and the ratio of the speed difference can be expressed by the following speed difference calculation formula.
(Rotation transmission radius ratio x: y)-(input rotation power 1 rotation) = (speed difference ratio)
(Input rotation power 1 rotation)-(rotational transmission radius ratio x: y) = (speed difference ratio)

For example, in the configuration shown in the first embodiment, when the central axes 11 and 12 are located on the same axis, the rotation transmission radius ratio x: y between the holding member 3 and the member 1 is 1: 1, When applied to the above equation, the ratio of the numerical speed difference between the holding member 3 and the member 1 is
(1/1) -1 = 0 (ratio of speed difference).
1- (1/1) = 0 (speed difference ratio).
When a relative angle is generated between the central shafts 11 and 12, the rotational speed and the rotational speed are different in the rotation transmission between the holding member 3 and the member 1.
In other words, if x: y illustrated in the first embodiment is 3: 2 in the rotation transmission radius ratio between the holding member 3 and the member 1, the numerical value between the member 3 and the member 1 is obtained by applying the speed difference calculation formula. The speed difference ratio is
(3/2) -1 = + 1/2 (+ output is the same rotation direction as input)
(2/3) -1 = -1 / 3 (the output of-is the direction opposite to the input)
1- (3/2) = − 1/2 (the output of − is the direction opposite to the input)
1- (2/3) = + 1/3 (the output of + is the same rotational direction as the input).
Therefore, according to the ratio of the numerical speed difference between the member 3 and the member 1, the output is 0 to 1/2 rotation or 0 to 1/3 rotation with respect to the input rotation and the rotation speed. It can be said that the ratio can be continuously changed freely (without steps).

  According to the above illustration, an angle is provided between the central shafts 11 and 12, and means for preventing the member 1 from rotating about the central shaft 11 or the holding member 3 from rotating about the central shaft 12 is provided. By using a method of turning any one of the central shafts 11 and 12 with the central position 6 as a relative axis or fulcrum, the wall 21 is rolled with respect to the first embodiment. Rotational power is transmitted at the part m connected to the member 5 and the part n connected between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7, and the difference in the rotational transmission radius ratio between the member 1 and the holding member 3 is output as rotational power. It can be compared to that possible.

  Next, specific rotational power input, transmission, and output methods shown in FIG. 6 and the fourth embodiment will be described.

A first method capable of transmitting rotation between the holding member 4 and the holding member 3 shown in FIG. 6A is a relative method between the central shafts 11 and 12 in a state where the holding member 8 is fixedly arranged at a predetermined position. An angle is provided and means for preventing the member 1 from rotating about the central axis 11 is provided, and a central axis 12 (the central axes 11 and 12 may be a central axis having a relative angle) with the central position 6 as a fulcrum is provided. By rotating the central shaft 11, the member 1, and the holding member 4 in the center (rotation in the rotation direction r indicated by the arrow), a relative rolling locus is transmitted between the wall surface 21 provided on the member 1 and the rolling member 5. Is carried out by the rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13, whereby the holding member 3 is relatively in the same direction as the turning direction r about the central shaft 12 (rotation direction h indicated by an arrow). Can output rotational power
Further, the rotational speed of the holding member 3 increases as it increases from a state where there is no relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 (from a speed of 0 to a high speed without a step), and conversely, the angle decreases. When the holding member 4 is rotated around the coaxial central axes 11 and 12 when the member 1 and the holding member 3 are loaded, the holding member 3 is It is difficult for the rotation transmission from the holding member 4 to be received, and it is possible to create a state where the holding member 4 is not rotated.
Further, if the holding member 3 is rotated about the central axis 12 using the holding member 3 as an input side rotating member, the holding member 4 (a member that is turned or rotated around the central axis 12) is output infinitely without steps. It is possible to continuously accelerate or rotate at a reduced speed toward an infinite numerical calculation, and in reality, the resistance increases to infinity.

A second method capable of transmitting rotation between the holding member 4 and the member 1 shown in FIG.
With the holding member 8 and the holding member 3 relatively fixed and arranged at a predetermined position, a relative angle is provided between the central shafts 11 and 12, and the central shaft 12 (the central shaft 11 and 12 may be a central axis having a relative angle), and the central axis 11, the member 1, and the holding member 4 are turned (rotated in the rotation direction r indicated by the arrow) to be provided in the member 1. The relative rolling trajectory is transmitted between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 by the rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13, whereby the member 1 is rotated about the central shaft 11 in the turning direction. It can be rotated in a direction opposite to r (rotation direction f indicated by an arrow) to output rotational power.
Further, the rotational speed of the member 1 increases as it increases from a state where there is no relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 (from speed 0 to a high speed without a step), and conversely, the angle decreases. Accordingly, when the holding member 4 is rotated about the coaxial central axes 11 and 12, the member 1 is not easily rotated and is not rotated. Can create a state.
Further, the holding member 4 (a member that is turned or rotated around the central axis 12) that is output when the member 1 is rotated about the central axis 11 with the member 1 as an input side rotating member is infinite (numerical value) without a step It is possible to continuously accelerate and rotate toward the infinite in the calculation, and in fact, the resistance increases toward infinity.

A third method capable of transmitting rotation between the holding member 8 and the member 1 shown in FIG.
In a state where the holding member 4 is fixedly arranged at a predetermined position, a means for providing a relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 and preventing the holding member 3 from rotating about the central shaft 12 is provided. The center shaft 12, the holding member 3 and the holding member 8 are swiveled (in the rotational direction r indicated by the arrow) around the center axis 11 (the center axis 11 and 12 may be an axis center having a relative angle). Rotation), the transmission of the relative rolling trajectory between the wall surface 21 provided on the member 1 and the rolling member 5 is performed by the rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 about the shaft 13, thereby the member 1. Is rotated about the central axis 11 in a direction opposite to the turning direction r (rotation direction f indicated by an arrow) to output rotational power.
Further, the rotation speed of the member 1 increases as the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 increases (from 0 to a stepless high speed), and conversely decreases as the angle decreases (towards 0). When the holding member 8 is rotated about the coaxial central shafts 11 and 12 if the member 1 and the holding member 3 are loaded, the member 1 transmits the rotation from the holding member 8. Can create a state that is difficult to receive and is not rotated.
Further, if the member 1 is rotated about the central axis 11 with the member 1 as an input side rotating member, the holding member 8 (member which is turned or rotated around the central axis 11) becomes infinite (numerical value) without steps. It is possible to continuously accelerate and rotate toward the infinite in the calculation, and in fact, the resistance increases toward infinity.

A fourth method capable of transmitting rotation between the holding member 8 and the holding member 3 shown in FIG.
In a state where the holding member 4 and the member 1 are relatively fixed and arranged at a predetermined position, a relative angle is provided between the central shafts 11 and 12, and the central shaft 11 (the central shafts 11 and 12 is centered on the central position 6). The center axis 12, the holding member 3, and the holding member 8 are pivoted (rotated in the rotation direction r indicated by the arrow) around the center axis 12, and provided on the member 1. The relative rolling trajectory is transmitted between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 by the rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13, whereby the holding member 3 rotates about the central shaft 12. It can be rotated in the same direction as the direction r (rotation direction h indicated by an arrow) to output rotational power.
Further, the rotation speed of the holding member 3 increases as the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 increases (from zero speed to steplessly high speed), and conversely decreases as the angle decreases (to zero). When the holding member 8 is rotated about the coaxial central shafts 11 and 12 if the member 1 and the holding member 3 are loaded, the holding member 3 is removed from the holding member 8. Rotation transmission is difficult to receive and can create a state where it is not rotated.
Further, if the holding member 3 is rotated about the central axis 12 using the holding member 3 as an input side rotating member, the holding member 8 (member turned about the central axis 11) that is output becomes infinite (numerical calculation) without steps. It is possible to perform continuous acceleration rotation or continuous decelerating rotation toward the infinite upper limit, and in fact, the resistance increases toward infinity.

With the first, second, third, and fourth methods shown in FIGS. 6 (a), 6 (b), 6 (c), and 6 (d), what is described in the first embodiment using the configuration shown in the first embodiment. Transmission of rotational power between members using different input and output methods is achieved by changing the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 that can have a relative angle about the center position 6. The ratio of the number and the rotational speed can be changed smoothly and continuously without steps, and the connection part between the members while sandwiching the rolling member 5 between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 and getting stuck in a wedge shape. The configuration and characteristics shown in the first and second embodiments using means capable of preventing sliding at m and n remain unchanged.
Further, when the rolling member 5 is rotated about the shaft 13, the rotating member 7 is also rotated about the shaft 15.
Further, the configuration of the fourth embodiment and the rotation transmission method can be made possible by using the configuration shown in the second embodiment instead of the configuration of the first embodiment.

However, depending on the configuration of the fourth embodiment, the output rotational motion may be a substantially constant speed, or may be not only the above difference but also non-constant speed motion from acceleration to deceleration and deceleration to acceleration.
In the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (c), the input side rotating member that is rotated by receiving the rotational power and the rotational power received from the input side rotating member are rotated. Since the central axis of rotation of the output-side rotating member capable of outputting rotational power can be coaxially set at a predetermined position, it is easy to use and can be simply configured in connecting rotational power input or output.
Although details are omitted in the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 6B and 6D, an input-side rotating member that receives rotational power and rotates, and the rotational power from the input-side rotating member. It is also possible to set the central axis of rotation of the output side rotating member that can be rotated by receiving the transmission and output rotational power to a predetermined position on the same axis.
The angle between the central axes may be changed by providing a central axis moving means using a method such as relative rotation or sliding, or the angle may be fixed.

FIG. 7 is an example of a method that can transmit and output power between members and a utilization means that can utilize the method. It is a figure which shows the characteristic of 5 embodiment.
FIG. 7A is a cross-sectional view common to a plane and an elevational plane centered on the central axis 11;
FIG. 7B is a cross-sectional view of the right side surface of FIG.
The fifth embodiment is based on the configuration of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and will be described using the terms and symbols shown in the first embodiment. Are applied mutatis mutandis using the description given in the first embodiment.

  First, the difference of the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7 from the configuration of the first embodiment will be described.

  The difference from the configuration of the first embodiment is that the wall surface 21 of the member 1 connected to the rolling member 5 is a columnar or cylindrical outer wall surface having the same radius with respect to the central axis 11, and FIG. 1 and FIG. In the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the central shafts 11 and 12 shown in the first embodiment are set as one central shaft 11, and the connection of the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 to the rolling member 5 (sphere) is illustrated. As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of rows (two rows in FIG. 7) are used in the direction of the axis of the central shaft 11 to stabilize the wall 1 so that the member 1, the holding member 3, and the holding member 2 are not moved. That is, the holding members 4 and 8 are held rotatably around the central axis 11.

  Next, features and functions of the fifth embodiment will be described.

  When the member 1 receives transmission of rotational power about the central axis 11 in the rotational direction f, the rolling member 5 becomes wedged between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7, and the rolling member 5 and the wall surface are blocked by being stuck. The pressure is increased at the connection portion m to 21 and the connection portion n between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7, and the friction force is increased at the connection portions m and n by increasing the pressure, thereby increasing the friction force. In the connection parts m and n, sliding is prevented, and the output side rotating member (for example, the holding member 3) can be safely rotated in the rotation direction f.

On the other hand, even if the holding member 3 receives transmission of rotational power about the central axis 11 in the rotational direction f, sliding is prevented at the connection parts m and n and the output side rotational member is safe as described above. For example, the member 1 can be rotated in the rotation direction f.
Further, the relative rolling locus between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 is substantially parallel to the central axis 11 even when the member 1 and the holding member 3 are being transmitted in rotation relative to the rotational direction f. With the transmission, the rotation of the rolling member 5 around the shaft 13, and the rotation of the rotating member 7 around the shaft 15 in response to the rotation of the rolling member 5, the connection parts m and n The holding member 3 (including the holding member 2) moves parallel to the member 1 in parallel with the central axis 11 without sliding and avoids transmission of a relative speed difference, or the member 1 becomes the holding member 3. It is possible to move in parallel.

  That is, between the member 1 and the holding member 3, safe rotation transmission (rotation in the rotation direction f) in which sliding is prevented at the rotation transmission connection portions m and n, and the rotation transmission direction (rotation direction f). Is configured so that the relative position of the member 1 and the holding member 3 can be safely moved without sliding in a direction having a relative angle (arrow direction g).

FIG. 8 is an example of a method that can transmit and output power between members and a utilization means that can utilize the method. It is a figure which shows the characteristic of 6 embodiment.
FIG. 8A is a cross-sectional view of a plane centered on the central axis 11;
FIG. 8B is a cross-sectional view of the right side of FIG.
The sixth embodiment has a configuration having the characteristics shown in the fifth embodiment.
3 and FIG. 4, and the explanation will be made using the terms and symbols shown in the second embodiment. The description given in the second embodiment shall apply mutatis mutandis.

  First, the differences of the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 8 from the configuration of the second embodiment will be described.

  The difference from the configuration of the second embodiment is that the wall surface 21 of the member 1 connected to the rolling member 5 is a cylindrical inner wall surface having the same radius with respect to the central axis 11, and the second wall in FIGS. In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the central shafts 11 and 12 shown in the embodiment are used as one central shaft 11, and the combination of the connection between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 with respect to the rolling member 5 (sphere) is shown in FIG. 8. Thus, the angle of 90 degrees is changed in the direction of the axis of the central axis 11 and a plurality of rows (two rows in FIG. 8) are used so that the wall 1 can be stabilized so as not to fluctuate. The holding member 3 and the holding member 2 are configured to be held rotatably about the central axis 11.

Since the features and functions in the configuration of the sixth embodiment are substantially the same as those of the fifth embodiment, the description of the sixth embodiment will be applied mutatis mutandis using the descriptions of the features and functions of the fifth embodiment. .
Further, in the fifth embodiment, the wall surface 21 (outer wall surface) of the member 1 is surrounded by the holding members 2 and 3, whereas in the configuration of the sixth embodiment, the holding members 2 and 3 are the members 1. It is the difference of the structure surrounded by the wall surface 21 (inner wall surface).
Therefore, the fifth and sixth embodiments are preferably used in applications suitable for each.

FIG. 9 is an example of a method that can transmit and output power between members and a utilization means that can utilize the method, and shows a first example of a power transmission mechanism that uses means that can prevent sliding at a connection portion between members. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the characteristics of the seventh embodiment, and also shows the characteristics of the embodiment of the composite device configured to be able to function in cooperation with the temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” described above and the mechanism. .
FIG. 9A shows a rotational power transmission mechanism called “differential mechanism” (sometimes referred to as a differential gear mechanism, but will be used as an explanation term hereinafter) and the third embodiment shown in FIG. And an elevation view in which the central shafts 11 and 12 are positioned on the same axis with the configuration of FIG.
FIG. 9B is a plan view of FIG. 9A.
FIG. 9C is a plan view of FIG. 9A which shows the center position 6 and the axis 9 with a relative angle between the center axes 11 and 12.
The configuration of the apparatus shown in FIG. 9 will be described using the configuration and symbols of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 5, but the contents omitted or omitted are shown in the first, second, or third embodiment. It shall be applied mutatis mutandis using the explanation.

  First, the configuration and characteristics of the designation “differential mechanism” will be described.

As for the configuration of the “differential mechanism”, an existing planetary gear mechanism, a differential gear mechanism, or a configuration described in the following patent application can be used.
(Patent application number) (Name)
Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-338872 Rotational motion transmission mechanism Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-304198 Rotational power transmission mechanism provided with rotation resistance means

The configuration of the “differential mechanism” includes at least three rotating members that are rotatably held around a common central axis, and use a first rotating member, a second rotating member, and a third rotating member. The third rotating member has a central axis different from the common central axis (a central axis having a distance to and parallel to the common central axis, or a central axis having a relative angle with respect to the common central axis) Or a held rotating member that is held rotatably about a common center axis and can be transmitted to both the first rotating member and the second rotating member. One rotating member connected to both the first rotating member and the second rotating member, or an even number or a plurality of rotating members connected so as to transmit rotation between the first rotating member and the second rotating member. May be provided), and A holding and rotating member (for example, a gear that can rotate or revolve while being rotated by meshing with an internal gear, a sun gear, or another gear) is revolved (same meaning as swivel) around the common central axis, and the common central axis Is a mechanism having a structure capable of rotating (rotating) about a different axis center.
That is, the “differential mechanism” is not limited to the “differential mechanism” using the gears shown in FIG. 9, and the first rotating member, the second rotating member, and the third rotating member are each centered on a common axis. Rotation transmission between the first rotation member, the held rotation member, and the second rotation member, and rotation transmission between the first rotation member, the second rotation member, and the third rotation member, which are rotatable at different rotation speeds. Any mechanism can be used as long as it can be performed relatively.
Also, as with existing differential gear mechanisms or planetary gear mechanisms, it includes deceleration, acceleration, differential rotation based on relative speed differences, differential rotation due to relative speed or torque imbalance, etc. In this configuration, various rotations or rotation transmission and many functions can be obtained.

The “differential mechanism” is roughly divided into the following two types, the first and second types. The first differential mechanism is centered on a common central axis with the third rotating member stopped. When the first rotating member is rotated in the forward direction, the second rotating member receives rotation transmission from the first rotating member and rotates in the direction opposite to the rotating direction of the first rotating member around the common central axis. .
In the second differential mechanism, when the first rotating member is rotated in the forward direction around the common central axis while the third rotating member is stopped, the second rotating member transmits the rotation from the first rotating member. Is rotated about the common central axis in the same direction as the rotation direction of the first rotating member.
Accordingly, the first and second differential mechanisms can be used.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the first differential mechanism is used.
The first, second and third rotating members, held rotating members and the like provided in the differential mechanism can be composed of a rotating body, a gear, and other driving means using frictional force. Various gears can be used, including spur gears, bevel gears, ring gears, internal gears, helical gears, torsion teeth, worm gears, worm wheels, geneva gears, face gears, rack gears, and the like.

  The configuration of the “differential mechanism” shown in FIG. 9 is a first rotation composed of an internal gear that is rotatably held around a common central axis 12 (which may be the central axis 11) in the A row shown in the figure. A member, a second rotating member made of a sun gear, and a third rotating member made of a carrier, the third rotating member having a central axis different from the central axis 12 and with respect to the central axis 12 A held rotating member is provided which is a planetary gear which is provided with a distance and is rotatably held around a substantially parallel axis and which can transmit and mesh with both the first rotating member and the second rotating member. It is configured.

  Next, based on FIG. 9, the configuration and characteristics of the apparatus in which the configuration of the third embodiment shown in FIG.

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 9, the gear 63 is fixed to the first rotating member provided in the differential mechanism, and the difference between the rotating shaft 35 provided in the holding member 3 in the A row (the member illustrated in FIG. 5). The third rotating member provided in the moving mechanism is fixed, and the gear 64 meshing with the gear 63 is fixed to the rotating shaft 34 provided in the B row member 1 (the member shown in FIG. 5). The rotating shaft 38 provided in the rotating member is rotatably held with respect to the holding member 10 disposed at a predetermined position around the center axis 12 of the A row, and the rotating shaft 34 provided in the member 1 of the B row is provided. The gears 61, 62, 63, and 64 are provided with the same number of teeth.

In the configuration shown in FIG. 9, when the central axes 11 and 12 of the A row and the B row are not provided with an angle, the holding member 3 of the A row and the members of the B row are the same as the configuration of the third embodiment shown in FIG. The ratio of the rotational speed and rotational speed between 1 is 1: 1.
In this state, for example, when the rotating shaft 38 fixed to the second rotating member in the A row is rotated once in the rotation direction s indicated by the arrow, the second rotating member in the A row, the gear 63, the first rotating member, The three-rotating member, the rotating member 3, the member 1, and the gear 61 are rotated once in the rotation direction (s or f direction) indicated by the arrow, and the B-row gear 62, the rotating shaft 35, the holding member 3, the member 1, and the rotating shaft 34 are rotated. The gear 64 is also rotated once in the rotation direction (h or t direction) indicated by the arrow.
On the contrary, when the rotation shaft 34 of the B row is rotated once in the rotation direction t indicated by the arrow, the member 1, the gear 64, the rotation member 3 and the gear 62 of the B row are also 1 in the rotation direction (h or t direction) indicated by the arrow. The gear 61, the member 1, the rotation member 3, the third rotation member, the second rotation member, the gear 63, and the first rotation member of the A row are rotated once in the rotation direction (s or f direction) indicated by the arrow. Will be.
In these states, the held rotating member is revolved around the central axis 12 without rotating.

As shown in FIG. 9C, when the central axes 11 and 12 of the A row and the B row are provided with an angle, the holding members 3 and B of the A row are similar to the configuration of the third embodiment shown in FIG. The ratio of the rotational speed and the rotational speed between the members 1 in the row is changed from 1: 1 to, for example, 1: 1 × N (N is a relative ratio), and the held rotating member is accompanied by rotation and revolution.
As shown in FIG. 9C, when the second rotation member in row A is rotated in the rotation direction s indicated by the arrow with the angle provided, the first and third rotation members in row A and the member in row B 1, the rotation shaft 34, and the gear 64 can be rotated in the rotation direction indicated by the arrow or in the direction opposite to the rotation direction indicated by the arrow, and the output of the rotation speed or rotation at a speed ratio different from 1: 1 can be stopped. On the contrary, when the rotation shaft 34 in the B row is rotated in the rotation direction t indicated by the arrow, the second and third rotation members in the A row are rotated in the rotation direction indicated by the arrow or in the direction opposite to the rotation direction indicated by the arrow. It is also possible to stop the output of rotation speed and rotation at a speed ratio different from 1: 1.
That is, the output side rotating member (for example, the A-axis rotating shaft 38) is changed by changing the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 while rotating the input side rotating member (for example, the B-axis rotating shaft 34) to which rotational power is input. Can be rotated from zero to continuously in the forward direction (with no steps), and further synchronized with the change in the relative angle, such as from high speed to zero and from zero to high speed. It is possible to obtain an advantage that the rotation speed and the rotation speed can be continuously and freely changed (without steps).

  Next, it is obtained by preventing sliding at the connection portions m and n shown in the above embodiment and continuously changing the rotation speed and rotation speed between the members freely (without steps). The advantages will be described using the terms and symbols described above.

For example, when the embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 9 is used, if the sliding at the connection portions m and n is completely prevented, the output side rotating member rotates at a low speed close to zero rotation and a large rotation near infinity. Rotational power can be output from torque, and it is possible to smoothly accelerate, decelerate, and stop the rotational speed without steps for any large mass or force.
In addition, by changing the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12, the rotational speed of the output side rotating member can be accelerated from zero to high speed rotation. As a result, the rotational resistance of the input side rotating member is increased in accordance with the change in the ratio at the connection portion m, and on the contrary, by changing the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12, The rotation speed of the output side rotating member can be decelerated from high speed rotation to zero rotation, but in this case also, the ratio of the rotation transmission radius ratio between the members is changed and the input side rotating member inputs from the output side rotating member. The rotation resistance in the rotation transmission to the side rotation member is increased infinitely, and the output side rotation member can be stopped without sliding or being prevented at the connection parts m and n at all. Also it seems possible to cause rotational resistance near.
In other words, no matter how high the mass and the inertial motion of the output side rotating at high speed, it seems impossible to rotate the input side rotating member from constant speed to infinity at high speed. When the rotation transmission ratio becomes an infinite ratio or the maximum rotation resistance position or in the vicinity thereof, the output side rotation member is forced to stop by receiving transmission of rotation resistance near infinite at the connection portion m. Transmission of rotational power from the output side rotating member to the input side rotating member becomes impossible.

Considering this function, as with conventional disc brakes, drum brakes, etc., rotational resistance is forcibly accompanied by transmission of relative speed difference between the surface roughness between the rotating body and the pad, sliding and heat generation. The configuration is completely different from the configuration to be generated.
In other words, transmission of the speed difference is avoided at the connection parts m and n, and the rotation transmission radius ratio or rotation transmission speed ratio between the members is changed continuously (without steps) without sliding and time lag. The rotation resistance can be increased and decreased continuously (without steps), and the output-side rotating member can be decelerated from high speed without stopping and further stopped and further reversely rotated. Kinetic energy including power (including rotational motion) from the input side rotary member to the output side without loss without sliding without sliding at the connection portions m and n between the members. Relative to be able to safely move and accumulate while changing the number of rotations and the ratio of rotation speed continuously (without steps) toward the rotation member or from the output-side rotation member to the input-side rotation member Target It can also be referred to as "energy of Utsuri蓄 mechanism" or "position movement mechanism of energy".

For example, a moving device capable of moving in relation to the function of the tentative name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” by embodying the method of the present invention and the utilization means utilizing the connection parts m and n. (For example, an automobile or a vehicle equipped with wheels, etc.) The input side rotating member provided in the temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” using the present invention is not completely uniform in rotational speed. The rotation speed of the final output-side rotating member (for example, a wheel with a diameter of 0.7 m provided in the vehicle) is initially 0 / rpm (per minute). ), The time required for changing the angle between the center axes 11 and 12 shown in the figure is 0.1 seconds, and the rotation speed of the output-side rotating member after the change in angle is 1000 / rpm. Then, the vehicle is 0km / h to about Reaches up to 32km in about 0.1 seconds, it holds also calculated that reached in about 0.1 seconds to speed about 132km~0km opposite.
(For example, my car is a 1984 front-wheel drive 4-door sedan, 860 kg in weight, displacement 1487 cc, output torque 17 kgm, acceleration of 0-100 km is about 6 seconds, manufactured by a university and a private company Although the acceleration of 0-100 km of electric vehicles was described as about 4.1 seconds, the acceleration is very good compared to the domestic production vehicle as of 2007, but the realization of even faster acceleration can be denied. I don't think so)
Therefore, if a moving device (for example, a vehicle) composed of a device that can function in cooperation with the temporary name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” using the connection parts m and n is configured, the exhaust gas is exhausted at a speed of about 132 km / h. Even a light vehicle with an amount of less than 660 CC can accelerate faster than a racing car with a large displacement, and can save fuel.

For example, if the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 is changed while the wheel provided in the moving device is rotated once, transmission of the speed difference is avoided at the connection parts m and n, and there is no sliding and time lag. Synchronously with the change operation of the angle, the wheel is accelerated and rotated instantaneously without steps, and the moving device reaches a speed of zero to 100 km / h substantially in synchronization with the acceleration rotation of the wheel. If the relative angle is changed during one rotation of the wheel, it is possible to instantly reach zero speed from a speed of 100 km / h or higher.
For example, the distance traveled at a speed of 100 km / h is approximately 27.78 m / s per second. If the time to reach 100 km / h from zero speed is increased, the distance travels more than 27.78 m, but the speed reaches from zero to 100 km / h. If the time to do so is shortened, the distance traveled can be reduced to 1 cm or 1 mm or less. For a relative mass, kinetic energy, potential energy, etc., within a short distance of 1 cm or 1 mm or less. It is only inertial acceleration (e.g., change in rotational transmission radius ratio or rotational transmission speed ratio without sliding) in equal acceleration motion, transmission of relative speed difference, relative between wheels and road surface, relative between vehicle and passenger. Therefore, even if it occurs, the slip distance in the illustrated case can be 1 cm or 1 mm or less.

When the temporary name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” using the method and configuration of the present invention is utilized, the central shafts 11 and 12 can be used to instantaneously decelerate and stop the rotational speed of the output side rotating member and the speed of the moving device. By changing the relative angle between them, the inertial speed of the moving device and the inertial rotational speed of the output-side rotary member can be shifted to the input-side rotary member side while smoothly rotating the input-side rotary member without steps. Meaning,
On the other hand, when the rotational speed of the output side rotating member and the speed of the moving device are accelerated at a high speed in an instant, the rotational angle and inertial motion of the input side rotating member are changed by changing the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12. It is considered possible to smoothly move to the output side rotating member side while accelerating the inertia speed of the moving device and the output side rotating member without accompanying.
In other words, in the method of the present invention, changing the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 to accelerate or decelerate the output-side rotating member and the moving device continuously increases the mass, inertial motion, and potential energy between the members. Whether the relative position of relative energy including power is moved toward the output side rotation member or the input side rotation member used in the configuration of the present invention without sliding or stepping at the connection parts m and n. Alternatively, by transmitting and storing, it is considered that relative constant speed motion and constant acceleration motion are performed at the connection portions m and n, and the above-described slip and impact can be prevented and safe acceleration and deceleration can be achieved.
In addition, in the connection portion m between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 in the temporary name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” using the method of the present invention, the transmission of the rotational speed ratio, the transmission of rotational power, and the transmission of rotational resistance. If the ratio m of the rotational speed is changed, only the rolling trajectory is transmitted at the connection part m, so that there is no relative speed difference transmission and sliding. There is also a possibility that acceleration and deceleration can be freely performed by the constant acceleration motion without continuously stepping from the constant velocity motion.

When a vehicle is configured using any of the above-described embodiments, not only the wheels provided in the vehicle but also the rotor of the generator are output from the power transmission mechanism of the present invention and the provisional name “variable speed ratio mechanism”. It can be rotated with the rotational power.
In other words, it is possible to output electric energy by rotating the rotor of the generator, operate the air conditioner with the electric energy, turn on the lamp, convert it into various relative energy, and output and use it. Become.
Assuming that the vehicle is a power plant and a power generation device, a business or a sales business in which electricity is output by rotating a rotor of a generator equipped in the power generation device utilizing the method and configuration of the present invention. It is also possible to perform acceleration and deceleration over a wide range instantaneously and freely in a continuous manner without causing sliding at the connection parts m and n.
Further, by utilizing the method and configuration of the present invention, the relative position moving device (vehicles including two-wheeled vehicles, four-wheeled vehicles, trains, ships, airplanes, moving equipment, etc.) and relative positions can be moved. Relative position moving device (elevator, crane, transport device, moving equipment, etc.) capable of generating power, relative power generating device (generator, power generation means, power generation equipment, power generation facility, etc.) capable of generating electricity, and linkage with output rotational power Relative devices (processing machines, assembly machines, drive equipment, etc.) that can function as a function are configured to prevent sliding at the connection parts m and n, and without momentary powerful torque and steps. By accelerating and decelerating, energy consumption can be reduced, and power output and relative energy output with high energy saving effect can be realized.

  Further, by using the temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” according to the present invention, for example, when reducing the speed of the vehicle, the rotation transmission radius ratio is changed and the rotor included in the generator is rotated at a higher speed to generate electric power and further to store electricity. If the energy regeneration device is configured such that the output shaft of the motor or the rotor can be rotated again with the stored electrical energy, the energy saving effect can be further enhanced.

It is also possible to configure a wind power generator capable of generating power by rotating an impeller by wind power using a temporary name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” using the method of the present invention.
Conventionally, when the wind is strong and the wind power is excessively large, the rotation speed of the impeller becomes too fast, the balance during rotation deteriorates, and there is a risk that the structure that supports the impeller to be rotatable may be damaged. It is also necessary to take measures to stop the rotation of the impeller. For example, even when using the temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” according to the prior art, it seems that the risk ratio and the driving resistance are increased due to sliding. .
If the tentative name “rotational speed ratio variable mechanism” of the present invention is utilized as a braking mechanism, the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 is changed so as to correspond to the magnitude and direction of the wind force, and the impeller or generator If the rotational speed of the rotor of the rotor is changed steplessly, power generation with a high ratio to the rotational speed of the input side rotating member can be achieved while utilizing wind power, and the speed increase of the impeller can be instantaneously limited as appropriate. Therefore, it is possible to decelerate, so that the safety and durability of the entire power generator including facilities and facilities can be protected.

  Next, a further embodiment relating to the power transmission mechanism using means capable of preventing sliding at the site of connection between members and a device capable of functioning in cooperation with the mechanism will be described using the terms and symbols described above. To do.

  Including power transmission, motion, output power or transmission of the rolling trajectory, etc., whichever is used depending on the application, such as rotation, reciprocating rotation, rotation, reciprocating motion, linear motion, turning, vibration, detouring, etc. However, either may be generated.

  The axis or the center axis can be rotated or the direction of rotation is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but may be forward or reverse rotation or reciprocal rotation, and a backstop mechanism or a clutch is provided. Thus, the rotation transmission direction and the rotation direction may be limited.

  When a relative angle is provided between the central shafts 11 and 12, a shaft 13 is formed between the rotary member 7 and the spherical wall surface 21 (outer wall surface or inner wall surface) having the same radius with the center position 6 as the center. The reciprocating rotational motion of the rolling member 5 about the shaft 15 and the reciprocating rotational motion of the rolling member 5 can be received to reciprocate the rotating member 7 about the shaft 15. It is preferable to use an output method that enables safe rotational power output or relative energy output that is highly energy-saving and prevents sliding at the parts m and n, and is the gist of the present invention.

As a method of changing the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 by moving at least one of the relative positions of the central axes 11 and 12, the above-described central axis moving means may be used. The method of changing the angle can be performed using any means that can be performed manually, automatically, or elastically.
In the central axis moving means, for example, a method of changing the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 around the central position 6 while the member 1 and the holding member 3 are rotated, or the angle is set in advance. It is also possible to use means that can simultaneously change the rotation speed and the angle of the member having the structure or the structure of the present invention.
In addition, it is possible to achieve more effective acceleration or deceleration by using a method of interlocking so that the rotation speed of the input side rotating member can be increased or decreased along with the change of the angle. When using a method of increasing the rotational speed of the output shaft of a prime mover such as a motor or turbine, it is preferable because the transmission of the speed difference due to the output from the prime mover is made relatively inside and outside the structure, and there are not a few obstacles. I can not say.
In addition, the self-lock which can prevent the holding member 4 or the holding member 8 capable of changing the relative angle between the center shafts 11 and 12 around the center position 6 from being freely rotated around the center position 6 can be prevented. Providing a mechanism or preventive means is effective for obtaining safety.
In order to obtain safety, it is also effective to use a restoring means capable of returning the holding member 4 or the holding member 8 to a predetermined position even if the relative angle is changed.

  The holding member and the supporting means for holding (supporting) in a rotatable or pivotable manner are any of radial bearings, thrust bearings, angular bearings, etc. consisting of rolling bearings, sliding bearings or other supporting means. Even if a bearing is used, it is preferable to be able to withstand and support a relatively received pressure and maintain a light rotation. Further, the holding member and the shaft support means may be the above-described bearing or a member to which the bearing is attached.

The rolling member 5 is preferably a spherical body or a sphere in which the connection parts m and n are spherical, but may be a rolling member having a shape different from that of the sphere or the spherical body.
When a spherical body is used, if a hole penetrating the center position of the spherical surface is provided, or if the rotation shaft is provided so as to protrude at both ends, the spherical body is rotated by inserting a bearing into the hole or the rotation shaft. It can be held so as not to come off.

The configuration in which the sphere composed of the rolling member 5 is rotatably held is a means for holding the rolling member 5 so as to be rotatable about the shaft 13 and the shaft 14 by a relative sliding bearing and movable in the radial direction with respect to the center position 6. May be used.
For example, it is possible to use a bearing structure in which a sphere is placed in a hole provided so that a round vertical hole and a round horizontal hole cross each other so as not to fall off the hole.

The connection parts m and n are configured such that the tangent at the connection part m between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 and the tangent at the connection part n between the rotating member 7 and the rolling member 5 are substantially parallel. The structure in which the two connection parts m and n and the center position 6 can be positioned on a straight line (when the connection part n between the rotating member 7 and the rolling member 5 is preferably slightly shifted from the straight line. Is effective to prevent the rolling member 5 from becoming wedged between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 and to strongly prevent sliding at the connection parts m and n. is there.
Further, as the mutual surfaces at the connection portions m and n, those having a smooth mirror surface, a hardened surface, a hard coating, plating, or the like are also suitable.

  The surface of the rotating member 7 connected to the rolling member 5 is a circumferential surface that is substantially parallel to the shaft 15 and has a distance of the same radius around the shaft 15, or an inclined surface having a relative angle with respect to the shaft 15. Rotation from the rolling member 5 by using, for example, a surface having a distance of the same radius around the shaft 15 or a surface having a distance from the shaft 15 and being perpendicular to the shaft 15. This is effective in rotating the rotating member 7 by transmission and making the rolling member 5 easily wedged.

  At the connection portion n, as the distance from the shaft 15 increases, the rotational resistance of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13 decreases, and sliding at the connection portions m and n hardly occurs. As the distance from 15 decreases or becomes zero, the rotational resistance of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13 increases and sliding at the connection portions m and n tends to occur.

  The shape of the rotating member 7 is a cylindrical shape with substantially the same radius centered on the shaft 15, a columnar shape with substantially the same radius, a relative abacus bead shape, or an outer periphery of the abacus bead shape with the shaft 15 as the center. Various shapes such as a cylindrical outer wall surface having the same radius can be provided.

The structure that rotatably holds the rotating member 7 is light without sliding while enduring pressure from various directions such as the axial direction (thrust direction) toward the shaft 15 or the direction intersecting the shaft 15 (radial direction). A bearing structure that can be easily rotated is suitable.
In the thrust direction, the rolling element and the rotating member are formed by using a member having a circular track having the same radius around the shaft 15 and a rolling member capable of reciprocating rolling on the track and reciprocating around the shaft 15. A thrust bearing consisting of rolling bearings capable of withstanding thrust in the thrust direction between 7 or similar is desirable.
Further, in the radial direction, a member having a ring-shaped track centering on the shaft 15 and a rolling element capable of reciprocatingly rotating around the shaft 15 along with the reciprocating rolling rotation on the track are used. It is desirable to use radial bearings or similar arrangements consisting of rolling bearings that can withstand the radial pressures between them.
In addition, the rotation member 7 may be rotatably held by an outer wall surface, an inner wall surface, a rotation shaft, a side surface, a hole, or the like that can be provided on the rotation member 7.

  The member 1, the holding member 2 and the holding member 3 are provided with a through hole or a blind hole centered on the central shaft 11 or the central shaft 12, and a rotation shaft is inserted into the hole so that the rotation shaft and the member are not connected. It can also be attached so that rotation can be transmitted.

The configuration in which the holding member 2 is rotatably held around the central axis can be held to be relatively rotatable with respect to the member 1 or can be held to be relatively rotatable with respect to the holding member 3. .
In addition, a guide that is relatively concave and convex with respect to the member 1 or the holding member 3 is provided so that the holding member 2 is not displaced in parallel with the central axis (11, 12). It is desirable that the holding member 2 is sandwiched from the left-right direction, or the member 1 or the holding member 3 is sandwiched from the left-right direction of the central axis.

  The input side rotating member to which the rotational power is input or the output side rotating member to which the rotational power is output includes the member 1, the holding member 2, the holding member 3, the holding member 4, the holding member 8, the rolling member 5, and the rotating member. 7, any rotating member such as a first rotating member, a second rotating member, a third rotating member, a defendant holding rotating member, and other rotatable rotating members may be used.

The holding member 3 shown in each of the drawings is configured by inserting the member 1 relative to the holding member 3 in the embodiment, if the holding member 3 includes the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7 relatively. Even if the member 1 is omitted to obtain the function shown, it is not excluded from the power transmission mechanism shown in the present invention.

The surface shape of the wall surface 21 sandwiching the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7 may be any shape such as an arc shape, a planar shape, an obtuse angle shape, an acute angle shape, a convex shape, or a concave shape, and both tangents at opposite portions sandwiching the rolling member 5 May be configured to be relatively parallel or slightly inclined, but the remaining opposing surfaces sandwiching the rolling member 5 are relatively wedge-shaped that are relatively gently inclined without any step. It is effective to use an inclined surface (for example, even a flat surface can be relatively inclined).
In addition, the connection structure between the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21 and the connection between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7 is one place (there may be a plurality of places but the effect is different). It is effective to increase

Although not shown in the drawings, the pressurizing means is relatively closely contacted between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5, or between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5, and between the rolling member 5 and the rotating member 7, so that the rolling member 5 is always wedge-shaped. It is preferable to use a pressurizing means that presses in a direction that causes a deadlock.
For example, between the rolling bearing 41 and the holding member 2 for holding the rolling member 5 rotatably, between the rolling bearing 41 and the holding member 3, or between the holding member 2 and the holding member 3, or between the rolling member 5 and the holding member 2, Alternatively, a method different from the transmission of rotational power between the rolling member 5 and the holding member 3 or between the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21 (for example, pressurization using a spring having a restoring force, a member that can be expanded and contracted, etc.) Or a method of providing a member or means capable of generating a repulsive force or an adsorbing force, etc.) to achieve the above close contact and pressure, a high accuracy between the rolling member 5 and the wall surface 21 can be obtained. While maintaining the position of the connection, the rolling member 5 is easily wedged between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 to facilitate the transmission of the relative rolling trajectory, and the connection between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5 is facilitated. Sliding at position m can be strongly prevented.

The holding member 2 may be configured such that the rolling member 5 is rotatably held by the holding member 3 by being connected to or fixed to the holding member 3 or by being relatively integrated with the holding member 3.
In the case of this configuration, the holding member 2 becomes the holding member 3, and between the rolling member 5 and the holding member 3 or between the rolling bearing 41 and the holding member 3, or between the wall surface 21 and the rolling member 5. It is also possible to provide the pressurizing means that can be pressed with a pressure.

The housing (case), cover, and bearing structure surrounding the structure of the present invention is a structure that can prevent the relative speed difference from being transmitted and strongly prevent sliding at the connection parts m and n. There is a great force and you have to endure and support this force. Therefore, it is also effective to surround the entire structure, improve the strength of the frame by using beam members, and provide a large span between the bearings.
In addition, the rolling bearing has a configuration that can strongly prevent sliding (sliding) between a rolling element that rotates and rotates on a ring-shaped track and a retainer that rotatably supports the rolling element. It is desirable to use a member and a structure that are used or are not easily worn by sliding. In addition, a structure that can eliminate the retainer is also effective.
Further, depending on the application, at least a part of the member 1 and the holding member 3 and the center position 6 are surrounded, and a cover made of a flexible boot, bellows or elastic member configured to be able to be bent around the center position 6 is attached. It is also effective to protect against dust.

The power transmission mechanism shown in the present invention preferably has a configuration capable of oil or grease lubrication. However, oil having a high friction coefficient used in the existing temporary name “variable rotation speed ratio mechanism” is preferable because it also causes rotational resistance to the bearing. I can't say that.
In the configuration shown in the present invention, it is very difficult to slide at the connection parts m and n, and therefore, a high pressure resistant oil having a very low friction coefficient and permeability and having very little oil breakage on the surface is used. It is considered effective for obtaining safety and durability.

  The material provided for each member is a member that is strong against surface pressure and hard, such as a pure steel material such as a rotating disk or a friction wheel such as a rotating body used in a temporary name “variable speed ratio variable mechanism” according to the prior art. Although it may be used, the connection portions m and n are extremely difficult to slide, and any material such as metal or plastic resin can be selected according to the application. When transmitting a large torque, it is also preferable to use a material that has tension and hardness and is difficult to peel off from the surface.

When the configuration of the present invention is used as a rotation transmission universal joint, the configuration shown in the first and second embodiments is adjusted to the angle of the left and right wheel axles (rotary shafts) or the steering shaft provided in the vehicle. It can also be used as a rotation-transmitting universal joint that follows changes.
For example, when the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 is changed, the output side rotating member (for example, a wheel) can be decelerated or accelerated, or the resistance can be increased or decreased. The left and right wheels can transmit appropriate rotational speed and rotational torque to the road surface, and can pass safely and quickly while preventing slippage between the wheels and the road surface.

In use as a means for preventing damage and failure of the moving device, when the configuration according to the present invention is used for acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle and wheels, relative slip between the road surface and the wheels may be avoided. The high thing is as above-mentioned.
The central shaft 11 is formed by an external member relatively approaching or pressing (may be a collision) with an external member relative to a member provided in a moving device capable of moving a relative position provided with the configuration of the present invention. And the relative transmission angle ratio is changed in synchronism with this to change the rotation transmission radius ratio to increase the relative rolling rotation resistance between the road surface and the wheel, thereby increasing the rotational speed of the wheel (which may be any of the front, rear, left and right wheels) or It can also be configured to reduce the propulsion speed of the moving device.
Further, the center can be obtained by transmission by pressing (may be collision or rear-end collision) with a member provided in a moving device capable of moving the relative position, or by transmitting a relative position or speed by approaching the moving device more than necessary. The relative angle between the shafts 11 and 12 is changed, and the acceleration or deceleration is performed synchronously or the resistance is increased or decreased synchronously, so that the speed of the moving device or the speed of the external member is instantaneously not accompanied by a step. By being configured to decelerate or accelerate, it is possible to minimize damage or failure between a plurality of moving devices or between a moving device and an external member, thereby improving safety.

In the configuration in which the torque limiter is connected to the configuration of the present invention, since the configuration of the present invention prevents sliding at the connection parts m and n, a torque or pressure is applied to a relatively weak place to cause damage and failure. May occur.
Therefore, the transmission of rotational power is limited between members that are rotationally transmitted with at least one of the input side rotational member or the output side rotational member of the rotational power within the configuration of the present invention, and the rotational transmission between the rotational members that exceeds the limit. In order to prevent the breakage, it is effective to provide a rotation transmission limiting device (commonly known as a torque limiter) that can be prevented even slightly.

  The power transmission mechanism described above (a method capable of transmitting and outputting power between members by means of frictional force at the connection portion using means capable of preventing or reducing transmission of a speed difference and sliding at a connection portion between members, and the method For example, an input side member that can be driven by receiving power and an output side that is driven by receiving power from the input side member. Rotating power from an input-side rotating member that is used as a relative drive-transmitting universal joint that enables transmission of driving and changes in the driving direction between members, and that is rotated by receiving rotational power It can be used as a rotation-transmitting joint that can transmit rotation while freely changing the relative angle between the center axes of rotation between the output rotating members that are rotated by the transmission of A relative brake mechanism capable of decelerating and controlling the actual speed, rotating by receiving the rotational power from the input-side rotating member and the input-side rotating member that is rotated by receiving the rotational power. A clutch mechanism that can act as a lock by friction between output rotating members that are operated, or a relative movable mechanism that is movably held so that the relative angle can be freely changed among a plurality of members Or can be embodied in any configuration depending on the application.

Therefore, a device utilizing the method and configuration (for example, the power transmission mechanism) shown in the present invention, including a braking mechanism, a prime mover (motor, engine, turby, etc.), a vehicle, a moving device, a generator, the power generation device, etc. Are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.

For example, even simple operations and activities utilizing the method described in the present invention as the subject matter can be used as the utilization means. It is supposed to be included.

The above is an embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention provides a relative configuration that can prevent failure, improve safety, save energy, etc. by using a power transmission mechanism that uses means that can prevent sliding at the connection parts m and n. The purpose is to establish and provide a device, but the present invention is not limited to a configuration that can transmit power or rotational power.
Therefore, a means capable of preventing sliding at a connection portion between members according to the present invention, a device capable of obtaining a function by cooperation with a power transmission mechanism provided with the means, or a structure capable of transmitting rotation with the power transmission mechanism. The features shown in the scope of the claims are at least the scope of the present invention, including the devices provided, or the means of utilizing the method described above, and the invention departs from the features shown in the claims. It can be configured using various other shapes and means without doing so.
In addition, what is described is merely an example and should not be interpreted in a limited manner.

The invention's effect

  The present invention can obtain the effects described below at least.

(1). In the configuration of the power transmission mechanism shown in the present invention, the use of the power transmission and output method by the frictional force between the members, while preventing the occurrence of sliding and failure at the connection parts m and n between the members, the less However, it is possible to improve the safety and durability at the connection site.
For example, the connection is achieved by using a method of receiving transmission of power for rolling and moving the rolling member 5 in a direction intersecting the predetermined direction with respect to the rotating member 7 that can rotate in a predetermined direction around the shaft 15. The power received at the part n and the pressure due to the load are transmitted without changing the frictional force at the connected part m without losing the power, and the output of the power different from the rotation at the center of the shaft 15 becomes possible.
For example, the surface shape capable of causing the rolling member 5 to get stuck in a wedge shape between the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 is configured relatively to the wall surface 21 connected to the rolling member 5 and the surface of the rotating member 7. Thus, the power received at the connection parts m and n and the pressure due to the load are changed to frictional force, and the power can be transmitted and output without loss.

(2). By using a configuration that relatively enables transmission of a rolling locus by rolling rotation of the rolling member 5 centered on the shaft 13 and the shaft 14 with respect to the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7, the wall surface 21 and the rotating member 7 Even when the rolling member 5 is stuck in a wedge shape, the occurrence of troubles such as sliding, driving resistance and wear at the connection parts m and n can be prevented and the safety at the connection part can be improved. It has become possible.

(3). The pressure and frictional force at the connection parts m and n can be freely increased and decreased within a necessary range (without steps), and the safety and durability of the members at the connection parts m and n can be improved.
For example, by using a surface shape that can lock the rolling member 5 in a wedge shape, the power and load pressure received at the connection site n are replaced with the pressure and friction force within the required range at the connection site m. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage due to excessive pressure and sliding at the connection portions m and n.

(4). By using a configuration that allows the rolling member 5 to reciprocate and rotate about the shaft 13 and the rotating member about the shaft 15 to reciprocate, sliding and failure at the connection sites m and n can be prevented. It has become possible to improve safety and durability.
For example, while the rolling member 5 is stuck in a wedge shape, the shaft support means (bearing) that supports the rotation of the rolling member 5 around the shaft 13 and the rotation of the rotating member 7 around the shaft 15 are light. By using a shaft support means (bearing) that supports the shaft as much as possible, the rolling member 5 rotates about the shaft 13 with respect to the wall surface 21 while being wedge-shaped, and the shaft 15 is rotated by the rolling rotation. The rotation member 7 can be rotated around the center, and the rotation locus is transmitted and connected in a direction having a relative angle to the transmission direction of the input power at the connection portion m by these rotations. It has become possible to carry out the rolling movement of the part m while strongly preventing sliding, sliding noise and generation of heat at the connection part m.

(5). In the connection portion m, the rotation transmission radius ratio, the rotation speed, and the rotation speed ratio between the members can be continuously changed without steps while preventing sliding.
For example, the rolling member 5 is sandwiched between a wall surface 21 (outer wall surface or inner wall surface) made of a spherical surface having the same radius around the center position 6 and the rotating member 7 so that the rolling member 5 can be wedged. As a result, even when the relative angle between the central axes 11 and 12 is changed around the center position 6 when a large load is generated on the output side rotating member, sliding occurs at the connection parts m and n. It is possible to change the relative angle between the central shafts 11 and 12 very easily by rolling and moving the connecting portion m in the radial direction relative to the wall surface 21 while preventing the occurrence of a time lag. Acceleration, deceleration or braking synchronized with the change of the relative angle is possible.

(6). In the device capable of obtaining the function by cooperation with the power transmission mechanism shown in the present invention, the failure due to the transmission of the speed difference as well as the connection portions m and n is prevented, and thereby durability, energy saving effect, relative It is possible to obtain various synergistic effects and safety such as free increase / decrease without time lag of energy (rotation speed, power generation, etc.), danger avoidance, and improvement of commercial value.

(7). In addition to being able to utilize the mechanism and apparatus that prevent sliding at the site of connection by embodying and using a method that can transmit power between members shown in the present invention and a utilization means that utilizes the method, Many synergistic effects such as energy saving effects, cost reduction effects, profits, environmental conservation effects, safety, etc. can be obtained.
