図4は、図1の拡大図である。主軸受50、52には、ケーシング26と反入力側キャリヤ22の間に配置された第1主軸受50と、ケーシング26と入力側キャリヤ24の間に配置された第2主軸受52とが含まれる。 FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of FIG. Main bearings 50 , 52 include a first main bearing 50 located between casing 26 and non-input carrier 22 and a second main bearing 52 located between casing 26 and input carrier 24 . be

主軸受50、52は転がり軸受である。主軸受50、52は、複数の転動体54と、転動体54が転動する外輪56と、転動体54が転動する内輪58と、を備える。複数の転動体54は周方向に間を置いて設けられる。本実施形態の転動体54は球体であるが、ころ等でもよい。複数の転動体54は、不図示のリテーナにより回転自在に支持され、それらの相対位置が保持される。本実施形態の外輪56は、ケーシング26とは別体に設けられるが、ケーシング26が外輪56を兼ねていてもよい。本実施形態の内輪58は、キャリヤ22、24とは別体に設けられるが、キャリヤ22、24が内輪58を兼ねていてもよい。 The main bearings 50, 52 are rolling bearings. The main bearings 50, 52 include a plurality of rolling elements 54, an outer ring 56 on which the rolling elements 54 roll, and an inner ring 58 on which the rolling elements 54 roll. A plurality of rolling elements 54 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. The rolling elements 54 in this embodiment are spherical bodies, but may be rollers or the like. The plurality of rolling elements 54 are rotatably supported by a retainer (not shown) to retain their relative positions. The outer ring 56 of this embodiment is provided separately from the casing 26 , but the casing 26 may also serve as the outer ring 56 . The inner ring 58 of this embodiment is provided separately from the carriers 22 and 24, but the carriers 22 and 24 may also serve as the inner ring 58.

減速装置10は、キャリヤ22、24に支持される複数の第2ピン部材60を備える。第2ピン部材60は、各外歯歯車16、18に形成される挿通孔62に挿通される。第2ピン部材60は、各キャリヤ22、24とは別部材が構成しているが、いずれかのキャリヤ22、24の一部と同じ部材が構成してもよい。第2ピン部材60には、外歯歯車16、18の自転成分を受けて外歯歯車16、18と一体的に回転(公転)する、または、その自転を拘束する内ピン64が含まれる。本実施形態のように反入力側キャリヤ22が出力部材46となる場合、内ピン64は公転し、反入力側キャリヤ22が被固定部材48となる場合、内ピン64は外歯歯車16、18の自転を拘束する。 The speed reducer 10 includes a plurality of second pin members 60 supported by the carriers 22,24.

The second pin member 60 is configured by a member separate from each carrier 22, 24, but may be configured by the same member as a part of either carrier 22, 24. The second pin member 60 includes an inner pin 64 that rotates (revolves) integrally with the external gears 16, 18 by receiving the rotation component of the external gears 16, 18 or constrains the rotation thereof. When the anti-input side carrier 22 serves as the output member 46 as in this embodiment, the inner pin 64 revolves, and when the anti-input side carrier 22 serves as the fixed member 48, the inner pin 64 rotates the external gears 16 and 18. constrain the rotation of

以上の減速装置10の動作を説明する。駆動装置から入力軸12に回転動力が伝達されると、クランク軸14が回転中心線CL2周りに回転し、その偏心体30により外歯歯車16、18が揺動する。このとき、外歯歯車16、18は、自らの軸芯CL3が回転中心線CL2周りを回転するように揺動する。外歯歯車16、18が揺動すると、外歯歯車16、18と内歯歯車20の噛合位置が順次に周方向にずれる。この結果、クランク軸14が一回転する毎に、外歯歯車16、18と内歯歯車20との歯数差に相当する分、外歯歯車16、18及び内歯歯車20の一方の自転が発生する。 The operation of the above reduction gear 10 will be described. When rotational power is transmitted from the driving device to the input shaft 12, the crankshaft 14 rotates around the rotation center line CL2, and the eccentric body 30 causes the external gears 16 and 18 to oscillate. At this time, the external gears 16 and 18 oscillate so that their own shaft cores CL3 rotate around the rotation center line CL2. When the external gears 16, 18 oscillate, the meshing positions of the external gears 16, 18 and the internal gear 20 are sequentially displaced in the circumferential direction. As a result, each time the crankshaft 14 makes one rotation, one of the external gears 16, 18 and the internal gear 20 rotates by the amount corresponding to the difference in the number of teeth between the external gears 16, 18 and the internal gear 20.

本実施形態のように、反入力側キャリヤ22が出力部材46となり、ケーシング26が被固定部材48となる場合、外歯歯車16、18の自転が発生する。一方、ケーシング26が出力部材46となり、キャリヤ22、24が被固定部材48となる場合、内歯歯車20の自転が発生する。出力部材46は、外歯歯車16、18又は内歯歯車20の自転成分と同期して回転することで、その自転成分を被駆動装置に出力する。このとき、入力軸12の回転は、外歯歯車16、18と内歯歯車20の歯数差に応じた減速比で減速されたうえで被駆動装置に出力される。 When the opposite input side carrier 22 becomes the output member 46 and the casing 26 becomes the fixed member 48 as in this embodiment, the external gears 16 and 18 rotate. On the other hand, when the casing 26 serves as the output member 46 and the carriers 22 and 24 serve as the fixed members 48, the internal gear 20 rotates. The output member 46 rotates in synchronization with the rotation component of the external gears 16, 18 or the internal gear 20, thereby outputting the rotation component to the driven device. At this time, the rotation of the input shaft 12 is reduced by a reduction ratio according to the difference in the number of teeth between the external gears 16 and 18 and the internal gear 20, and then output to the driven device.

ここで、減速装置10は、脱落防止部材66、68、70を備える。脱落防止部材66、68、70には、外歯歯車16と第1主軸受50との間に配置される第1脱落防止部材66と、外歯歯車18と第2主軸受52との間に配置される第2脱落防止部材68と、複数の外歯歯車16、18の間に配置される第3脱落防止部材70とが含まれる。 Here, the reduction gear transmission 10 includes drop prevention members 66 , 68 , 70 . The drop-off preventing members 66 , 68 , 70 include the first drop-off preventing member 66 arranged between the external gear 16 and the first main bearing 50 , and the one between the external gear 18 and the second main bearing 52 . A second disengagement prevention member 68 arranged and a third disengagement prevention member 70 arranged between the plurality of external gears 16 and 18 are included.

図5は、図1のB-B断面の一部を示す図である。図2、図4、図5に示すように、各脱落防止部材66、68、70はリング状をなす。各脱落防止部材66、68、70は、複数の第1ピン部材40に径方向内側から接触可能な位置に配置され、それらとの接触によりピン溝38からの第1ピン部材40の脱落を防止する。第1ピン部材40は、外歯歯車16、18と噛み合うことで撓み変形しようとする。複数の脱落防止部材66、68、70を用いることで、このような第1ピン部材40の撓み変形を効果的に抑えられる。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a part of the BB section of FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, each drop-off prevention member 66, 68, 70 is ring-shaped. Each drop-off prevention member 66, 68, 70 is arranged at a position where it can contact the plurality of first pin members 40 from the inside in the radial direction, and prevents the first pin member 40 from dropping out of the pin groove 38 by contact with them. do. The first pin member 40 tries to bend and deform by meshing with the external gears 16 and 18 . By using a plurality of fall prevention members 66 , 68 , 70 , such bending deformation of the first pin member 40 can be effectively suppressed.

第1脱落防止部材66は、第1ピン部材40の反入力側(軸方向一方側)の一端部と反入力側キャリヤ22(第1キャリヤ)との間に配置される。第2脱落防止部材68は、第1ピン部材40の入力側(軸方向他方側)の他端部と入力側キャリヤ24(第2キャリヤ)との間に配置される。第3脱落防止部材70は、第1ピン部材40と第2ピン部材60の間に配置される。 The first drop-off prevention member 66 is arranged between one end of the first pin member 40 on the counter-input side (one side in the axial direction) and the counter-input side carrier 22 (first carrier). The second drop-off prevention member 68 is arranged between the other end of the first pin member 40 on the input side (the other side in the axial direction) and the input-side carrier 24 (second carrier). The third fall prevention member 70 is arranged between the first pin member 40 and the second pin member 60 .

第3脱落防止部材70は、複数の外歯歯車16、18と接触することで、その軸方向移動を規制する役割も持つ。外歯歯車16、18は、本実施形態において、第3脱落防止部材70とは軸方向で反対側に配置される他部材(キャリヤ22、24)とも接触することで、その軸方向移動が規制される。なお、第3脱落防止部材70は、第1ピン部材40の脱落を防止する機能を持たなくともよい。 The third disengagement prevention member 70 also has the role of restricting axial movement of the plurality of external gears 16 and 18 by coming into contact with them. In this embodiment, the external gears 16 and 18 are also in contact with other members (carriers 22 and 24) arranged on the opposite side in the axial direction from the third disengagement prevention member 70, thereby restricting their axial movement. be done. It should be noted that the third drop-off preventing member 70 does not have to have the function of preventing the first pin member 40 from dropping off.

各脱落防止部材66、68、70の外径R1、R2、R3は、実質的に同じとなるように設定される。本明細書での「実質的」とは、言及している条件を厳密に満たす場合に限らず、寸法公差や製造誤差等の誤差の分だけ位置がずれる場合も含まれる。脱落防止部材66、68、70の外径R1、R2、R3は、ピン溝38又は脱落防止部材66、68、70と第1ピン部材40との間に僅かなクリアランス(不図示)を形成できる大きさに設定される。このクリアランスは、複数の第1ピン部材40の回転を許容するために設けられる。 Outer diameters R1, R2, R3 of the drop-off prevention members 66, 68, 70 are set to be substantially the same. The term "substantially" as used in this specification is not limited to the case where the mentioned conditions are strictly satisfied, but also includes the case where the position is shifted by an error such as a dimensional tolerance or a manufacturing error. The outer diameters R1, R2, R3 of the anti-dropping members 66, 68, 70 can form a slight clearance (not shown) between the pin groove 38 or between the anti-dropping members 66, 68, 70 and the first pin member 40. set to size. This clearance is provided to allow rotation of the plurality of first pin members 40 .

第1脱落防止部材66は、反入力側キャリヤ22との間に僅かな隙間72を空けて設けられる。第2脱落防止部材68は、入力側キャリヤ24との間に僅かな隙間74を空けて設けられる。これにより、キャリヤ22、24が自転したときに、脱落防止部材66、68との間で摺動抵抗が生じるのを避けられる。なお、隙間72、74の径方向寸法は、上述したピン溝38又は脱落防止部材66、68、70と第1ピン部材40との間の径方向でのクリアランスより大きい。 The first drop-off prevention member 66 is provided with a slight gap 72 between it and the carrier 22 on the counter-input side. The second drop-off prevention member 68 is provided with a slight gap 74 between itself and the input side carrier 24 . Thereby, when the carriers 22 and 24 rotate on their own axes, it is possible to avoid the occurrence of sliding resistance between them and the fall prevention members 66 and 68 . The radial dimensions of the gaps 72 and 74 are larger than the radial clearance between the pin groove 38 or the drop-off prevention members 66 , 68 and 70 and the first pin member 40 .

内歯歯車本体34は、他部材との間に潤滑剤76が収められる隙間空間78を形成する。潤滑剤76は、たとえば、グリース、潤滑油等である。ここでの「他部材」とは、内歯歯車本体34と径方向内側に対向する部材をいい、本実施形態では各脱落防止部材66、68、70、各外歯歯車16、18が該当する。 The internal gear main body 34 forms a clearance space 78 in which a lubricant 76 is contained between other members. Lubricant 76 is, for example, grease, lubricating oil, or the like. Here, "another member" refers to a member facing radially inwardly of the internal gear body 34, and in the present embodiment, the drop-off prevention members 66, 68, 70 and the external gears 16, 18 correspond. .

A second space 82 is formed. The first space 80 and the second space 82 communicate with each other. The radial dimension of the first space 80 changes as the external gears 16 and 18 oscillate. As the radial dimension of the first space 80 changes, the lubricant 76 in the first space 80 can flow throughout the entire circumferential direction. The second space 82 is configured by a plurality of inter-pin spaces 84 (see FIG. 3) formed between adjacent first pin members 40 .

The inner space 86 is radially separated from the clearance space 78 by the external gears 16 and 18 and the anti-falling members 66, 68 and 70, which are the "other members" described above. These external gears 16 , 18 and the drop-off prevention members 66 , 68 , 70 function as isolation members that radially isolate the clearance space 78 from the inner space 86 . This inner space 86 is formed between the separating members or carriers 22 , 24 and the crankshaft 14 .

ここでの「隔離」とは、言及している二つの対象(隙間空間78と内側空間86)の間での潤滑剤76の流動を完全に遮断するように隔離する場合の他に、その潤滑剤76のわずかな流動を許容するように隔離する場合が含まれる。この潤滑剤76のわずかな流動は、たとえば、複数の隔離部材の間や、その隔離部材と他部材(主軸受50、52、キャリヤ22、24等)の間を通して行われる。 "Isolation" here means isolation to completely block the flow of lubricant 76 between the two objects referred to (clearance space 78 and inner space 86), as well as Isolation to allow slight flow of agent 76 is included. This slight flow of lubricant 76 occurs, for example, between a plurality of isolation members or between the isolation members and other members (main bearings 50, 52, carriers 22, 24, etc.).

第1主軸受50と第1脱落防止部材66との間には、第1主軸受50の内部空間94(以下、第1軸受内部空間94という)と隙間空間78とを連通する第1径方向隙間88が設けられる。第1軸受内部空間94は、第1主軸受50の外輪56と内輪58の間の空間をいう。ここでの隙間空間78とは、内歯歯車本体34と第1脱落防止部材66との間の隙間空間をいう。ここでの径方向隙間とは、言及している二つの対象の間で径方向に広がるように設けられる隙間をいう。 Between the first main bearing 50 and the first disengagement prevention member 66, there is provided a first radial direction connecting the inner space 94 of the first main bearing 50 (hereinafter referred to as the first bearing inner space 94) and the clearance space 78. A gap 88 is provided. The first bearing internal space 94 is the space between the outer ring 56 and the inner ring 58 of the first main bearing 50 .

That is, the inner ring 58 of the first main bearing 50 and the first disengagement prevention member 66 are in axial contact over the entire circumference.

第2主軸受52と第2脱落防止部材68との間には、第2主軸受52の内部空間102(以下、第2軸受内部空間102という)と隙間空間78とを連通する第2径方向隙間96が設けられる。第2軸受内部空間102は、第2主軸受52の外輪56と内輪58の間の空間をいう。ここでの隙間空間78とは、内歯歯車本体34と第2脱落防止部材68との間の隙間空間をいう。 Between the second main bearing 52 and the second disengagement prevention member 68, a second radial direction connecting the inner space 102 of the second main bearing 52 (hereinafter referred to as the second bearing inner space 102) and the clearance space 78 is provided. A gap 96 is provided. The second bearing internal space 102 is the space between the outer ring 56 and the inner ring 58 of the second main bearing 52 . The clearance space 78 here refers to the clearance space between the internal gear main body 34 and the second disengagement prevention member 68 .

第2径方向隙間96は、第2主軸受52と第2脱落防止部材68の軸方向で対向する箇所(面)において、第2主軸受52の外輪56と第2脱落防止部材68との間に設けられる。詳しくは、第2径方向隙間96は、外輪56の内周部にて軸方向で第2脱落防止部材68がある側にある第2内周縁部98と、第2脱落防止部材68の外周部にて軸方向で第2主軸受52がある側にある第2外周縁部100との間に設けられる。本実施形態では、径方向隙間は、第2主軸受52の内輪58と第2脱落防止部材68との間には設けられない。つまり、第2主軸受52の内輪58と第2脱落防止部材68とは、全周に亘って軸方向に当接している。 A second radial gap 96 is formed between the outer ring 56 of the second main bearing 52 and the second disengagement prevention member 68 at the locations (surfaces) where the second main bearing 52 and the second disengagement prevention member 68 face each other in the axial direction. provided in More specifically, the second radial clearance 96 is formed by a second inner peripheral edge portion 98 on the side of the second drop-off prevention member 68 in the axial direction of the inner peripheral portion of the outer ring 56 and an outer peripheral portion of the second drop-off prevention member 68 . and the second outer peripheral edge portion 100 on the side where the second main bearing 52 is located in the axial direction. In this embodiment, no radial clearance is provided between the inner ring 58 of the second main bearing 52 and the second drop-out prevention member 68 . That is, the inner ring 58 of the second main bearing 52 and the second disengagement prevention member 68 are in axial contact over the entire circumference.

ケーシング26は、他部材との間に隙間空間78を含む外周側空間104を形成する。本実施形態の外周側空間104には、前述の隙間空間78の他に、第1軸受内部空間94、第2軸受内部空間102が含まれる。また、本実施形態の外周側空間104には、第1軸受内部空間94に対して軸方向で隙間空間78とは反対側にてケーシング26と反入力側キャリヤ22の間に形成される第3空間106が含まれる。ここでの「他部材」とは、ケーシング26と径方向内側に対向する部材をいう。本実施形態では、各脱落防止部材66、68、70、各外歯歯車16、18、各キャリヤ22、24が該当する。 The casing 26 forms an outer peripheral space 104 including a clearance space 78 between itself and other members. The outer peripheral space 104 of this embodiment includes the first bearing inner space 94 and the second bearing inner space 102 in addition to the gap space 78 described above. Further, in the outer peripheral space 104 of the present embodiment, a third bearing is formed between the casing 26 and the counter-input side carrier 22 on the opposite side of the gap space 78 in the axial direction with respect to the first bearing internal space 94 .

In this embodiment, the drop-off prevention members 66, 68, 70, the external gears 16, 18, and the carriers 22, 24 correspond.

外周側空間104は、第1ピン部材40に対して反入力側(軸方向一方側)に配置される第1封止部材108により封止される。本実施形態の第1封止部材108は、ケーシング26と反入力側キャリヤ22の間に配置されるオイルシールである。 The outer space 104 is sealed by a first sealing member 108 arranged on the opposite input side (one side in the axial direction) of the first pin member 40 . The first sealing member 108 of this embodiment is an oil seal arranged between the casing 26 and the non-input side carrier 22 .

外周側空間104は、第1ピン部材40に対して入力側(軸方向他方側)に配置される第2封止部材110により封止される。本実施形態の第2封止部材110は、第2主軸受52に組み込まれる軸受シールである。第2封止部材110は、第2主軸受52の転動体54より入力側に配置される。第2封止部材110は、ケーシング26と入力側キャリヤ24の間に配置されるとも捉えられる。 The outer space 104 is sealed by a second sealing member 110 arranged on the input side (the other side in the axial direction) with respect to the first pin member 40 . The second sealing member 110 of this embodiment is a bearing seal incorporated in the second main bearing 52 . The second sealing member 110 is arranged closer to the input side than the rolling elements 54 of the second main bearing 52 . The second sealing member 110 is also understood to be arranged between the casing 26 and the input side carrier 24 .

本実施形態の外周側空間104は、第1ピン部材40と径方向に重なる軸方向範囲Ra以外においても、前述の内側空間86に対して隔離される。このような内側空間86にも、外歯歯車16、18や偏心軸受32等の可動部品を潤滑するための潤滑剤(不図示)が封入される。 The outer space 104 of the present embodiment is isolated from the inner space 86 even outside the axial range Ra radially overlapping the first pin member 40 .

以上の減速装置10の効果を説明する。 The effect of the above reduction gear 10 will be described.

(A)第1主軸受50と第1脱落防止部材66との間には第1径方向隙間88が設けられる。よって、第1径方向隙間88を通して、第1主軸受50の第1軸受内部空間94と隙間空間78の間で潤滑剤76を入れ換えられる。これは、第1主軸受50の転動体54や、外歯歯車16、18の動きによって、隙間空間78や第1軸受内部空間94の潤滑剤76を流動させることで達成される。これに伴い、各歯車16、18、20の歯面の潤滑に用いられる潤滑剤76の量を増やすことができ、隙間空間78内の潤滑剤76の早期の劣化を抑えられる。 (A) A first radial clearance 88 is provided between the first main bearing 50 and the first drop-off prevention member 66 . Therefore, the lubricant 76 can be exchanged between the first bearing internal space 94 of the first main bearing 50 and the clearance space 78 through the first radial clearance 88 . This is accomplished by the movement of the rolling elements 54 of the first main bearing 50 and the external gears 16 , 18 causing the lubricant 76 in the clearance space 78 and the first bearing internal space 94 to flow. Accordingly, the amount of the lubricant 76 used for lubricating the tooth flanks of the gears 16, 18, 20 can be increased, and early deterioration of the lubricant 76 in the gap space 78 can be suppressed.

(B)第2主軸受52と第2脱落防止部材68との間には第2径方向隙間96が設けられる。よって、第2径方向隙間96を通して、第2主軸受52の第2軸受内部空間102と隙間空間78との間でも潤滑剤76を入れ換えられる。これは、第2主軸受52の転動体54や、外歯歯車16、18の動きによって、隙間空間78や第2軸受内部空間102の潤滑剤76を流動させることで達成される。これに伴い、各歯車16、18、20の歯面の潤滑に用いられる潤滑剤76の量を更に増やすことができ、隙間空間78内の潤滑剤76の早期の劣化をより抑えられる。 (B) A second radial gap 96 is provided between the second main bearing 52 and the second drop-off prevention member 68 . Therefore, the lubricant 76 can also be exchanged between the second bearing inner space 102 of the second main bearing 52 and the clearance space 78 through the second radial clearance 96 . This is achieved by the movement of the rolling elements 54 of the second main bearing 52 and the external gears 16 , 18 causing the lubricant 76 in the clearance space 78 and the inner space 102 of the second bearing to flow. Accordingly, the amount of the lubricant 76 used for lubricating the tooth flanks of the gears 16, 18, 20 can be further increased, and early deterioration of the lubricant 76 in the gap space 78 can be further suppressed.

(C)減速装置10は、二つの外歯歯車16、18の間に配置され、第1ピン部材40の脱落を防止する第3脱落防止部材70を備える。これにより、内歯歯車本体34と第3脱落防止部材70との間に隙間空間78の一部となる第2空間82を形成でき、その分、隙間空間78の容積を増大できる。これに伴い、各歯車16、18、20の歯面の潤滑に用いられる潤滑剤76の量を更に増やすことができ、隙間空間78内の潤滑剤76の早期の劣化をより抑えられる。 (C) The speed reducer 10 is provided with a third fall prevention member 70 which is arranged between the two external gears 16 and 18 and which prevents the first pin member 40 from falling off. As a result, the second space 82, which is part of the clearance space 78, can be formed between the internal gear body 34 and the third disengagement prevention member 70, and the volume of the clearance space 78 can be increased accordingly. Accordingly, the amount of the lubricant 76 used for lubricating the tooth flanks of the gears 16, 18, 20 can be further increased, and early deterioration of the lubricant 76 in the gap space 78 can be further suppressed.

(D)径方向隙間は、第1主軸受50の内輪58と第1脱落防止部材66の間に設けられない。よって、これらの間を通して、第1軸受内部空間94から内側空間86に潤滑剤76が漏れ難くなり、隙間空間78に潤滑剤76をとどめたままにし易くなる。 (D) No radial clearance is provided between the inner ring 58 of the first main bearing 50 and the first drop-out prevention member 66 . Therefore, it becomes difficult for the lubricant 76 to leak from the first bearing inner space 94 to the inner space 86 through these spaces, and the lubricant 76 is easily retained in the clearance space 78 .

(E)径方向隙間は、第2主軸受52の内輪58と第2脱落防止部材68の間に設けられない。よって、これらの間を通して、第2軸受内部空間102から内側空間86に潤滑剤76が漏れ難くなり、隙間空間78に潤滑剤76をとどめたままにし易くなる。 (E) No radial clearance is provided between the inner ring 58 of the second main bearing 52 and the second drop-off prevention member 68 . Therefore, it is difficult for the lubricant 76 to leak from the second bearing inner space 102 to the inner space 86 through these spaces, and the lubricant 76 can be easily retained in the clearance space 78 .

(F)潤滑剤76が封入される隙間空間78は、第1ピン部材40と径方向に重なる軸方向範囲Raにおいて、その径方向内側の内側空間86に対して径方向に隔離されている。よって、隙間空間78から内側空間86に潤滑剤76が広がり難くなり、隙間空間78に潤滑剤76をとどめたままにし易くなる。 (F) The clearance space 78 in which the lubricant 76 is enclosed is radially separated from the inner space 86 radially inward in the axial range Ra radially overlapping the first pin member 40 . Therefore, it becomes difficult for the lubricant 76 to spread from the clearance space 78 to the inner space 86 , and the lubricant 76 is easily retained in the clearance space 78 .

隙間空間78を含む外周側空間104は、ケーシング26とキャリヤ22、24の間に配置される各封止部材108、110により封止される。よって、外周側空間104から他の空間への潤滑剤76の漏れが生じ難くなり、その潤滑剤76を隙間空間78に更にとどめやすくなる。 The outer space 104, including the interstitial space 78, is sealed by respective sealing members 108,110 disposed between the casing 26 and the carriers 22,24. Therefore, the lubricant 76 is less likely to leak from the outer peripheral space 104 to other spaces, and the lubricant 76 can be more easily retained in the clearance space 78 .

このように隙間空間78に潤滑剤76をとどめることで、隙間空間78を形成する各歯車16、18、20の歯面での潤滑剤76の油膜切れを安定して抑えられる。これに伴い、各歯車16、18、20の長寿命化を図れる。特に、流動性の低い潤滑剤76を用いる場合、この利点を大きく得られる。 By retaining the lubricant 76 in the clearance space 78 in this way, it is possible to stably suppress the oil film shortage of the lubricant 76 on the tooth flanks of the gears 16 , 18 , and 20 forming the clearance space 78 . Along with this, the life of each gear 16, 18, 20 can be extended. In particular, when using the lubricant 76 with low fluidity, this advantage can be greatly obtained.

本実施形態の減速装置10の他の特徴を説明する。図3、図4を参照する。内歯歯車本体34は環状溝114を備える。外歯歯車16、18が揺動するとき、外歯歯車16、18の外歯112が環状溝114内に入り込むことで、内歯歯車本体34との干渉を回避できる。環状溝114は、各外歯歯車16、18に個別に対応して設けられ、その対応する外歯歯車16、18の径方向外側に形成される。環状溝114は、対応する外歯歯車16、18より大きい軸方向寸法を持つ。 Other features of the reduction gear transmission 10 of this embodiment will be described. Please refer to FIGS. The internal gear body 34 is provided with an annular groove 114 . When the external gears 16 and 18 oscillate, the external teeth 112 of the external gears 16 and 18 enter the annular groove 114, thereby avoiding interference with the internal gear body 34. The annular groove 114 is provided individually corresponding to each of the external gears 16 and 18 and formed radially outwardly of the corresponding external gears 16 and 18 . The annular groove 114 has a larger axial dimension than the corresponding external gears 16,18.

内歯歯車本体34は、環状溝114を形成するとともに径方向内側に突き出る環状突部116を備える。環状突部116の内周部には前述の複数のピン溝38が形成され、その径方向内側には前述の脱落防止部材66、68、70が配置される。 The internal gear body 34 includes an annular protrusion 116 that forms an annular groove 114 and protrudes radially inward. The plurality of pin grooves 38 described above are formed in the inner peripheral portion of the annular protrusion 116, and the fall prevention members 66, 68, 70 described above are arranged radially inside.

(G)環状溝114は、前述の隙間空間78を形成し、潤滑剤76を溜める潤滑剤溜まりを構成する。これにより、隙間空間78の容積を増大できる。これに伴い、各歯車16、18、20の歯面の潤滑に用いられる潤滑剤76の量を更に増やすことができ、隙間空間78内の潤滑剤76の早期の劣化をより抑えられる。 (G) The annular groove 114 forms the gap space 78 described above and constitutes a lubricant reservoir for storing the lubricant 76 . Thereby, the volume of the gap space 78 can be increased. Accordingly, the amount of the lubricant 76 used for lubricating the tooth flanks of the gears 16, 18, 20 can be further increased, and early deterioration of the lubricant 76 in the gap space 78 can be further suppressed.

(第2の実施の形態)
図6は、第2実施形態の減速装置10の側面断面図である。本実施形態の隙間空間78を含む外周側空間104は、他の空間に連通している。詳しく説明する。
(Second embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a side sectional view of the reduction gear transmission 10 of the second embodiment. The outer space 104 including the clearance space 78 of this embodiment communicates with other spaces. explain in detail.

ケーシング26は、入力側キャリヤ24に対して入力側に設けられ、入力軸12が貫通する貫通孔26aが形成される貫通壁部26bを備える。ケーシング26の貫通壁部26bと入力側キャリヤ24との間には第4空間118が形成される。 The casing 26 is provided on the input side with respect to the input side carrier 24 and has a through wall portion 26b formed with a through hole 26a through which the input shaft 12 passes. A fourth space 118 is formed between the through wall portion 26 b of the casing 26 and the input side carrier 24 .

減速装置10は、前述の第2封止部材110を備えておらず、外周側空間104は第4空間118に連通されている。この第4空間118は、たとえば、ケーシング26の貫通孔26aと入力軸12の間に配置されるオイルシール等の第3封止部材120により封止される。本実施形態でも、前述した(A)~(G)の効果を得られる。 The speed reducer 10 does not include the second sealing member 110 described above, and the outer space 104 communicates with the fourth space 118 . The fourth space 118 is sealed by a third sealing member 120 such as an oil seal arranged between the through hole 26a of the casing 26 and the input shaft 12, for example. In this embodiment as well, the effects (A) to (G) described above can be obtained.

なお、外周側空間104から他の空間(第4空間118)に潤滑剤76が漏れたとしても、その流動により、もとの隙間空間78まで潤滑剤76を戻すことができる。特に、流動性の高い潤滑剤76を用いた場合、このように潤滑剤76を戻し易くなる。このため、本実施形態でも、第1実施形態と同様、前述の(D)~(F)で説明したような、隙間空間78に潤滑剤76をとどめたままにし易くなる効果を得られる。 Even if the lubricant 76 leaks from the outer peripheral space 104 to another space (fourth space 118 ), the flow of the lubricant 76 can return the lubricant 76 to the original gap space 78 . In particular, when the lubricant 76 with high fluidity is used, it becomes easy to return the lubricant 76 in this manner. Therefore, in the present embodiment as well, it is possible to easily retain the lubricant 76 in the clearance space 78 as described in (D) to (F) above, as in the first embodiment.
