Description
本発明は、モータ駆動車両における駆動用モータの出力軸と減速機とを連結するために用いる車両用軸継手に関し、鉄道車両、建設車両、電気自動車等において利用することができる。 The present invention relates to a vehicle shaft joint used to connect an output shaft of a drive motor and a speed reducer in a motor-driven vehicle, and can be used in a railway vehicle, a construction vehicle, an electric vehicle, and the like.
従来、鉄道車両における駆動用モータの出力軸と減速機の入力軸との連結にはギヤカップリング(歯車形たわみ軸継手)が使用されている(特開平10−89371号公報参照)。 Conventionally, a gear coupling (gear-shaped flexible shaft joint) is used to connect an output shaft of a drive motor and an input shaft of a reduction gear in a railway vehicle (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-89371).
図10は、鉄道車両の駆動装置を示す。駆動装置は台車枠(図示せず)に装荷されたモータ2のトルクを動輪3に伝える装置であって、ギヤカップリング1と減速機5を含んでいる。減速機5は大歯車6と小歯車7を含む。大歯車6は、両端部に動輪3を固定した動輪軸4に固定されている。この大歯車6とかみ合う小歯車7の支持軸が減速機5の入力軸となり、軸継手1によってモータ2の出力軸と連結されている。 FIG. 10 shows a railway vehicle drive device. The drive device is a device for transmitting the torque of the motor 2 loaded on a bogie frame (not shown) to the driving wheel 3 and includes a gear coupling 1 and a speed reducer 5. The speed reducer 5 includes a large gear 6 and a small gear 7. The large gear 6 is fixed to a driving wheel shaft 4 having a driving wheel 3 fixed to both ends. The support shaft of the small gear 7 that meshes with the large gear 6 serves as the input shaft of the speed reducer 5, and is connected to the output shaft of the motor 2 by the shaft coupling 1.
ギヤカップリング1は、図11に示すように、モータ2の出力軸の軸端に外歯歯車8を、減速機5の小歯車7の軸端に外歯歯車9を設け、それぞれの外歯歯車8,9にかみ合う内歯歯車を設けた左右二つの外筒10,11をボルト12で締結し、左右の外筒10,11の外側端面に孔あき円板状の防塵カバー13を取り付け、防塵カバー13の内周縁部は内側に折り曲げて外歯歯車8,9の外側側面に形成したリング状の凹溝14の中に接触することなく臨ませ、その折り曲げ部の外面を、二点鎖線で示すように軸端に嵌着した防塵ゴムシール15に当接させてある。 As shown in FIG. 11, the gear coupling 1 is provided with an external gear 8 at the shaft end of the output shaft of the motor 2 and an external gear 9 at the shaft end of the small gear 7 of the speed reducer 5. The left and right outer cylinders 10, 11 provided with internal gears meshing with the gears 8, 9 are fastened with bolts 12, and perforated disk-shaped dust-proof covers 13 are attached to the outer end surfaces of the left and right outer cylinders 10, 11, The inner peripheral edge of the dust-proof cover 13 is folded inward so as to face the ring-shaped concave groove 14 formed on the outer side surface of the external gears 8 and 9 without contact, and the outer surface of the bent portion is indicated by a two-dot chain line. As shown in FIG. 1, the rubber seal is brought into contact with a dust-proof rubber seal 15 fitted to the shaft end.
上述のギヤカップリング1によれば、モータ出力軸と減速機入力軸との間に軸線のずれが生じても確実な動力の伝達が確保できる。しかしながら、ギヤカップリング1は、モータ2の出力軸と減速機5の入力軸の軸線間に数mm以上の芯違いがある場合でも角度的な自在性が求められる。このため、外歯歯車8,9の歯に大きなクラウニングを施して角度自在性を高めている。また、外歯歯車8,9と外筒10,11とのかみ合いは、わずかなすきま(ガタ)を有している。
鉄道車両では自動車と同様に益々静粛性が求められている。とくに駆動系のガタに伴う振動音が問題となっている。鉄道車両のモータと減速機を連結しているギヤカップリング1は歯車のかみ合い面にすきまがあるため、このすきまの影響で回転中の速度変動などによって歯打ち音が発生する。また、ギヤカップリング1に角度を付与して回転させると、外歯歯車8,9と外筒10,11のかみ合い面の摺動に伴って摺動音、いわゆる歯面同士の擦れ音が発生する。このような歯打ち音や擦れ音を減らし、車両全体の振動音を低減させることが課題となっている。 Rail cars are increasingly required to be quiet, just like automobiles. In particular, the vibration noise associated with the backlash of the drive system is a problem. Since the gear coupling 1 connecting the motor and the reduction gear of the railway vehicle has a clearance on the meshing surface of the gear, a rattling sound is generated due to a speed fluctuation during rotation due to the influence of the clearance. Further, when the gear coupling 1 is rotated at an angle, a sliding noise, that is, a so-called rubbing noise between the tooth surfaces is generated as the meshing surfaces of the external gears 8 and 9 and the outer cylinders 10 and 11 slide. To do. Reducing such rattling noise and rubbing noise and reducing vibration noise of the entire vehicle has become a problem.
本発明は、鉄道車両等の更なる静粛性向上のため、モータと減速機を連結する軸継手をとして、回転方向ガタがなく、しかも角度付与時にトルク伝達部材が転がり運動をするクロスグルーブタイプの等速ジョイントを採用したものである。 The present invention, for further quieter such railway vehicle, a motor and as a shaft coupling for coupling a reduction gear, play in the rotational direction without, moreover angle imparted to torque loss groove a rolling motion the torque transmission member at the time It uses a constant velocity joint of the type.
すなわち、本発明は、互いにかみ合う大歯車と小歯車を有する減速機を介してモータのトルクを動輪軸に伝えるようにした鉄道車両の、前記小歯車の支持軸と前記モータの出力軸を連結するための軸継手であって、回転方向ガタのない一対のクロスグルーブタイプの等速ジョイントを使用し、一方の等速ジョイントの内輪を前記モータの出力軸と接続し、他方の等速ジョイントの内輪を前記減速機の入力軸と接続し、一方の等速ジョイントの外輪と他方の等速ジョイントの外輪とを端面同士を突き合わせた状態でフランジをボルト・ナットで締結することにより一体化したものであって、前記等速ジョイントは、軸線に対して角度をなすトラックを外周面に形成した内輪と、前記内輪のトラック溝とは逆方向に軸線に対して角度をなすトラックを内周面に形成した外輪と、対をなす前記内輪のトラックと前記外輪のトラックが交差する位置に組み込んだトルク伝達ボールと、前記内輪の外周面と前記外輪の内周面との間に介在して前記トルク伝達ボールを保持するケージとを有することを特徴とする。 That is, the present invention connects the support shaft of the small gear and the output shaft of the motor of a railway vehicle in which the torque of the motor is transmitted to the driving wheel shaft through the reduction gear having the large gear and the small gear engaged with each other. a shaft coupling for, using the constant velocity joint of a pair of cross groove type with no play in the rotational direction, the inner ring of one of the constant velocity joint connected to an output shaft of the motor, the inner ring of the other of the constant velocity joint in those integrated by the connection with the input shaft of the reduction gear, fastening the flange bolts and nuts one of the outer ring of the outer ring and the other of the constant velocity joint of the constant velocity joint abutted end faces The constant velocity joint includes an inner ring formed on the outer peripheral surface with a track that forms an angle with respect to the axis, and a track that forms an angle with respect to the axis in a direction opposite to the track groove of the inner ring. Between the outer ring formed on the inner peripheral surface, the torque transmitting ball incorporated at a position where the track of the inner ring and the track of the outer ring that make a pair intersect, and the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring And a cage for holding the torque transmission ball interposed therebetween .
クロスグルーブジョイントのトラック交差角は3°以上16°以下の範囲が好ましい。 The track crossing angle of the cross groove joint is preferably in the range of 3 ° to 16 °.
クロスグルーブジョイントのトルク伝達ボールの数は10以上18以下の範囲が好ましい。 The number of torque transmission balls in the cross groove joint is preferably in the range of 10 to 18.
鉄道車両に適用する場合、一方のクロスグルーブジョイントの外輪と他方のクロスグルーブジョイントの外輪との間に絶縁プレートを介在させてもよい。 When applied to a railway vehicle, an insulating plate may be interposed between the outer ring of one cross groove joint and the outer ring of the other cross groove joint.
モータ駆動の鉄道車両において、モータと減速機を連結する軸継手としてガタのないボールタイプの等速ジョイント、具体的にはクロスグルーブジョイントを採用することにより、従来のギヤカップリングに見られる歯打ち音や擦れ音がなく、車両全体の振動音が低減する。 The railway vehicle motors driving, constant velocity joint ball types without backlash as shaft coupling for connecting the motor and reduction gear, specifically by adopting a cross-groove joint, seen in the conventional gear coupling There is no rattling noise or rubbing noise, and the vibration noise of the entire vehicle is reduced.
以下、図面に従って本発明の実施の形態を説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
まず、図1に示す実施の形態について説明する。ここで、図1は縦断面図、図2は図1のII−II矢視図、図3は斜視図である。なお、図3は、一部をカットしたほか、仕切り板
やボルト・ナット、密封装置等を取り外した状態を示している。
First, the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 will be described. Here, FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view, FIG. 2 is a view taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view. FIG. 3 shows a state in which a partition plate, bolts / nuts, a sealing device, and the like are removed, in addition to a part thereof being cut.
この実施の形態はクロスグルーブジョイントを使用したものである。すなわち、この軸継手は一対のクロスグルーブジョイント16で構成され、各クロスグルーブジョイント16は、内輪20と、外輪30と、ボール40と、ケージ50を主要な構成要素としている。 In this embodiment, a cross groove joint is used. That is, this shaft coupling is constituted by a pair of cross groove joints 16, and each cross groove joint 16 includes an inner ring 20, an outer ring 30, a ball 40, and a cage 50 as main components.
内輪20は外周面に複数のトラック22を有し、中心部にテーパ孔26を有する。内輪20はテーパ孔26にてモータの出力軸または小歯車の支持軸に形成したテーパ軸と、キーによりトルク伝達可能に嵌合する。図示は省略したが、テーパ軸の端部にはおねじ部を有し、ナットで締結するようになっている。内輪20は既存のモータと減速機軸との接続に必要なはめ合い長さとし、組み込み性を考慮してケージ50に対し軸方向に分離できるタイプとしてある。すなわち、内輪20の最大外径がケージ50の最小内径より小さい。内輪20のトラック22の両側に、サークリップ24が装着してある。このサークリップ24は、ケージ50と内輪20およびボール40(カセット)を外輪30と組み込んだ後、カセットが分離しないようにするためのストッパーとして機能する。なお、サークリップ24は外輪30に装着するようにしてもよい。 The inner ring 20 has a plurality of tracks 22 on the outer peripheral surface and a tapered hole 26 in the center. The inner ring 20 is fitted with a taper shaft formed on the output shaft of the motor or the support shaft of the small gear through the taper hole 26 so that torque can be transmitted by a key. Although not shown in the drawing, the end of the taper shaft has a male thread portion and is fastened with a nut. The inner ring 20 has a fitting length necessary for the connection between the existing motor and the reduction gear shaft, and is a type that can be separated from the cage 50 in the axial direction in consideration of incorporation. That is, the maximum outer diameter of the inner ring 20 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of the cage 50. Circlips 24 are mounted on both sides of the track 22 of the inner ring 20. The circlip 24 functions as a stopper for preventing the cassette from separating after the cage 50, the inner ring 20 and the ball 40 (cassette) are assembled with the outer ring 30. The circlip 24 may be attached to the outer ring 30.
通常、クロスグルーブジョイントはトルク伝達ボールが6個で、内輪にスプライン孔を有し、これにはめ合うスプライン軸で一対となった自在軸継手として自動車のプロペラシャフトやドライブシャフトに採用されている。しかし、軸継手として鉄道車両のモータと減速機との連結に適用する場合、スプライン軸に比べ相当量の大きさの軸径になっており、自動車のプロペラシャフトやドライブシャフトに使用されるクロスグルーブジョイントの形態では内輪を直接モータ軸や減速機軸に取り付けることができない。そのため、ここでは、既存のモータ軸および減速機軸との接合を可能とするため、ボール40のピッチ円径を大きくするとともにボール数を増やし、ギヤカップリングの外歯歯車に相当する内輪20にキー溝付きテーパ穴26を設けた構成としたものである。もちろん、このような制約がない場合には通常のスプライン嵌合を採用してもよい。 Normally, the cross groove joint has six torque transmission balls, and has a spline hole in the inner ring, and is adopted as a pair of universal shaft joints fitted to this in a propeller shaft and a drive shaft of an automobile. However, when it is applied to the connection between a motor and a reduction gear of a railway vehicle as a shaft joint, the shaft diameter is considerably larger than that of the spline shaft, and the cross groove used for the propeller shaft and drive shaft of an automobile. In the joint form, the inner ring cannot be directly attached to the motor shaft or the reduction gear shaft. Therefore, here, in order to enable joining with the existing motor shaft and reduction gear shaft, the pitch circle diameter of the balls 40 is increased, the number of balls is increased, and the inner ring 20 corresponding to the external gear of the gear coupling is keyed. The grooved taper hole 26 is provided. Of course, when there is no such restriction, normal spline fitting may be employed.
外輪30は、内輪20の外周に位置し、内周面に内輪20のトラック22と同数のトラック32が形成してある。図4に示すように、内輪20のトラック22と外輪30のトラック32は軸線に対して反対方向に角度をなしている。各トラック22,32が軸線に対してなす角(以下、トラック交差角という。)を図4では符号αで示してある。そして、対をなす内輪20のトラック22と外輪30のトラック32との交差部にボール40が組み込んである。内輪20の外周面と外輪30の内周面との間にケージ50が介在する。ケージ50は、円周方向の等間隔位置に、ボール40を保持するためのポケット52を有する。 The outer ring 30 is located on the outer periphery of the inner ring 20, and the same number of tracks 32 as the tracks 22 of the inner ring 20 are formed on the inner peripheral surface. As shown in FIG. 4, the track 22 of the inner ring 20 and the track 32 of the outer ring 30 are angled in opposite directions with respect to the axis. An angle formed by each of the tracks 22 and 32 with respect to the axis (hereinafter referred to as a track crossing angle) is indicated by a symbol α in FIG. A ball 40 is incorporated at the intersection of the track 22 of the inner ring 20 and the track 32 of the outer ring 30 that form a pair. A cage 50 is interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 20 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer ring 30. The cage 50 has pockets 52 for holding the balls 40 at equally spaced positions in the circumferential direction.
トルク伝達ボール40の数および内外輪20,30のトラック22,32のトラック交差角αについては、モータ出力とクロスグルーブジョイント16の負荷容量および取り付け軸の大きさとのバランスで、ボール数14個、トラックの角度10°を例として挙げることができるが、ボール数は10〜18個、トラック交差角αは3〜16°の範囲内が好ましい。 Regarding the number of torque transmission balls 40 and the track crossing angle α of the tracks 22 and 32 of the inner and outer rings 20 and 30, the number of balls is 14 according to the balance between the motor output and the load capacity of the cross groove joint 16 and the size of the mounting shaft. A track angle of 10 ° can be mentioned as an example, but the number of balls is preferably 10 to 18, and the track crossing angle α is preferably in the range of 3 to 16 °.
軸継手の内部空間には潤滑剤が充填される。潤滑剤は、自動車用プロペラシャフトやドライブシャフトの場合と同様にグリースを使用するほか、ギヤオイルでもよい。図示した実施の形態では、一対の外輪30の端面同士を突き合わせた状態でフランジ34をボルト・ナット74で締結して一体化してある。そして、外輪30の端面間に仕切り板70が挟み込んである。仕切り板70は軸継手の内部空間を中央部で仕切り、一対のクロスグルーブジョイントを個別に分解する場合などにグリースの洩れを最小限度に抑える役割を果たす。符号72はOリングを示す。 The interior space of the shaft coupling is filled with a lubricant. As the lubricant, grease may be used as in the case of the propeller shaft or drive shaft for automobiles, or gear oil may be used. In the illustrated embodiment, the flange 34 is fastened and integrated with bolts and nuts 74 with the end faces of the pair of outer rings 30 butted. A partition plate 70 is sandwiched between the end faces of the outer ring 30. The partition plate 70 divides the internal space of the shaft coupling at the center, and plays a role of minimizing grease leakage when the pair of cross groove joints are individually disassembled. Reference numeral 72 denotes an O-ring.
クロスグルーブジョイント16の外側の端部に密封装置60が装着してある。密封装置60はブーツ62とブーツアダプタ68とで構成されている。ブーツアダプタ68は金属製で、おおむね円筒形をしており、一端にフランジ69を有している。図示する実施の形態では、フランジ69をゴムパッキング63を介して外輪30の外側の端面に当て、座金を介してボルト38をねじ孔36にねじ込むことにより、ブーツアダプタ68を外輪30に固定してある。ブーツ62はゴムや樹脂等の可撓性材料でできており、小端部64と大端部66を有し、中間にて断面V字形に折り返した格好になっている。ブーツ62の大端部66はブーツアダプタ68の端部をかしめて保持させてある。ブーツ62の小端部64は内輪20の端部外周面に形成したブーツ溝28に嵌めてその上からブーツバンド65で締め付けてある。 A sealing device 60 is attached to the outer end of the cross groove joint 16. The sealing device 60 includes a boot 62 and a boot adapter 68. The boot adapter 68 is made of metal, has a generally cylindrical shape, and has a flange 69 at one end. In the illustrated embodiment, the boot adapter 68 is fixed to the outer ring 30 by applying the flange 69 to the outer end face of the outer ring 30 through the rubber packing 63 and screwing the bolt 38 into the screw hole 36 through the washer. is there. The boot 62 is made of a flexible material such as rubber or resin, and has a small end portion 64 and a large end portion 66, and is folded back into a V-shaped cross section in the middle. The large end 66 of the boot 62 is held by crimping the end of the boot adapter 68. The small end portion 64 of the boot 62 is fitted into a boot groove 28 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the end portion of the inner ring 20 and is fastened with a boot band 65 from above.
上述の構成であるため、内輪20と外輪30とは角度変位が可能で、かつ、軸方向変位(プランジング)が可能である。図5(A)はスライドインすなわち、内輪20が図1の状態から同図の右側に相対的に移動した状態を示す。図5(B)はスライドアウトすなわち、内輪20が図1の状態から同図の左側に相対的に移動した状態を示す。ボール40の転動範囲がサークリップ24によって規制され、その結果、上記軸方向変位(プランジング)量が規制される。図5はこれが7mmの場合を例示したものである。 Due to the above-described configuration, the inner ring 20 and the outer ring 30 can be angularly displaced and can be displaced in the axial direction (plunging). FIG. 5A shows a slide-in state, that is, a state in which the inner ring 20 has moved relative to the right side of FIG. FIG. 5B shows a slide-out state, that is, a state in which the inner ring 20 has moved relative to the left side of FIG. The rolling range of the ball 40 is restricted by the circlip 24, and as a result, the amount of axial displacement (plunging) is restricted. FIG. 5 illustrates the case where this is 7 mm.
次に、図6に示す実施の形態は、図1の実施の形態における円形断面のサークリップ24に代えて、異型断面のスペーサ76と止め輪78を採用したものである。図7を、対応する図5と対比すれば明らかなように、スペーサ76の機能はサークリップ24のそれと同じである。また、図7から分かるように、スペーサ76は内輪の円筒形外周面と嵌合する円筒形内周面を有し、外周にボール40を受ける斜面を有している。止め輪78は内輪20の外周面に形成した溝にはめ込んである。 Next, the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 employs a spacer 76 and a retaining ring 78 having an irregular cross section instead of the circular cross section circlip 24 in the embodiment of FIG. As can be seen by comparing FIG. 7 with the corresponding FIG. 5, the function of the spacer 76 is the same as that of the circlip 24 . As can be seen from FIG. 7, the spacer 76 has a cylindrical inner peripheral surface that fits with the cylindrical outer peripheral surface of the inner ring, and has an inclined surface that receives the ball 40 on the outer periphery. The retaining ring 78 is fitted in a groove formed on the outer peripheral surface of the inner ring 20.
図8に示す実施の形態は、図1の実施の形態における仕切り板70に代えて、フェノール樹脂やエポキシ樹脂の積層品のような絶縁材で形成した絶縁プレート80をフランジ合わせ面に介在させたものである。ボルト74を通じての通電をも防止するため、絶縁ブッシュ82や絶縁ワッシャ84を使用してある。なお、符号86は通常の座金を示す。このような構成を採用することにより、たとえばモータからカップリングを介して減速機や車輪に通電して電蝕が問題になるような場合でも、絶縁プレート80が通電を遮断して電飾の発生を防止する役割を果たす。 In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, instead of the partition plate 70 in the embodiment of FIG. 1, an insulating plate 80 formed of an insulating material such as a phenolic resin or epoxy resin laminate is interposed on the flange mating surface. Is. In order to prevent energization through the bolt 74, an insulating bush 82 and an insulating washer 84 are used. Reference numeral 86 denotes a normal washer. By adopting such a configuration, for example, even when electricity is applied to the speed reducer and wheels from the motor through the coupling and electric corrosion becomes a problem, the insulating plate 80 cuts off the electricity and the occurrence of electrical decoration. Play a role in preventing.
図9は、電気自動車に適用する場合を例示したもので、モータの出力を軸継手を介してデファレンシャルに伝えて駆動車輪を回転させるようになっている。 FIG. 9 illustrates a case where the present invention is applied to an electric vehicle. The output of a motor is transmitted to a differential through a shaft coupling to rotate a drive wheel.
