Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase transmitting torque by providing a compressor compresing air in a main tank and a high pressure sub-tank accumulating air compress ed by said compressor, for an air feed line to an air cylinder. CONSTITUTION:Air in a main tank 50 is compressed by a compressor 60 to be accumulated in a sub-tank 62. In this case, when a manual switch 57 is in a 'ON' condition, No.1 and No.2 electromagnetic control valve 52 and 54 are turned on. When No.1 electromagnetic valve 52 is in a 'ON' condition, an air pipe 51 is opened, and when No.2 electromagnetic valve 54 is in a 'ON' condition, a branch pipe 53 is closed. As a result, air pressure from the sub-tank 62 is entirely supplied to a cylinder 22 so that a differential gear is locked with a multi-plate clutch 20 connected regardless of vehicle speeds and the like. On the other hand, when a vehicle is running while a manual switch 56 is in a 'OFF' condition, if the vehicle is low in speed, No.1 and No.2 electromagnetic valve 52 and 54 are turned off while the lock of the differential gear is released.

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field> The present invention distributes the rotational power of an input shaft to two left and right drive shafts, and when one drive shaft idles, the rotational power is transferred to the other drive shaft. This relates to a differential limiting device designed to transmit information. <Prior art> In general, a differential limiting device locks the differential when escaping from the R road, transmits driving force to the left and right drive wheels, and ensures the escaping. There is a known technology in which the differential is controlled according to the vehicle speed, and the differential is locked when driving at high speeds to improve steering stability. Problems to be Solved by the Invention> By the way, in order to control such a differential limiting device, a multi-disc clutch is provided between the side gear and the differential case, and a solenoid valve is controlled in the air cylinder according to the vehicle speed, etc. The piston is pushed by the air supplied by the engine, and the multi-disc clutch is connected to transmit torque. In this case, the transmitted torque is determined by the air pressure, the piston, and the diameter of the multi-disc clutch, so it is difficult to increase the torque by increasing the pressing force of the multi-disc clutch due to space constraints. In particular, since the vehicle's own brake air was used, the air pressure could only be used up to 7 to 8.5 kg/1, making it insufficiently effective. Means for Solving the Problems> The present invention has solved the above problems, and its characteristic configuration is that a multi-plate clutch is provided between one side gear and the differential case, and this multi-plate clutch is operated by air. In a differential limiting device that limits differential differential by connecting a piston that is pushed by air supplied into the cylinder, the air in the main tank is increased in pressure in the air supply path to the air cylinder. It is equipped with a compressor and a high-pressure sub-tank that stores the air pressurized by the compressor. With the above configuration, the air cylinder is supplied with high-pressure air, which is made by increasing the pressure of air in the main tank by a compressor, increasing the pressing force of the multi-disc clutch and increasing the transmitted torque. Embodiments> Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In FIG. 1, 10 is a carrier gauge, 11 is an input shaft that is rotatably supported on the carrier case 10, and 12 is a differential gear that is rotatably supported on the carrier case 10 around an axis perpendicular to the rotational axis of the input shaft 11. , 13a , 13b
is a drive shaft extending in the left and right direction coaxially with the rotation axis of the differential case 12, and a drive wheel is attached to the drive shaft.

An input gear 14 is formed on the input shaft 11, and a ring gear 15 that meshes with the input gear 14 is fixed to the outer periphery of the differential case 12. Inside the differential case 12, a spider 1 is arranged perpendicularly to the rotational axis of the differential case 12.
6 is fixed, and a pinion gear 17a is attached to this spider 16.
, 17b are rotatably supported. A pair of side gears 18a and 18b mesh with each other on both left and right sides of the pinion gears 17a and 17b, and these side gears 18a and 18b are connected to the differential case 12 and the differential case 1.
The left drive shaft 13a is spline-coupled to the left-opening side gear 18a along the moving axis, and the right-hand drive shaft 13b is coaxially spline-coupled to the right-opening side gear 18b. It is connected. An axis of the drive shaft 13a is located between the outer periphery of the shaft portion 19 of one of the left and right side gears 1aa, 18b (the side gear 18b may be IFI) and the inner periphery of the differential case 12 facing this shaft portion 19. A multi-disc clutch 20 is provided which transmits the rotation of the differential case 12 to the side gear 18a through pressure contact in the direction. Further, the differential gear 12 is provided with a pressurizing piston 21 that presses the multi-disc clutch 20 in the connecting direction.
This pressurizing piston 21 is fitted in a cylinder 22 in which a differential case 12 is provided so as to be able to move forward and backward, and presses the multi-disc clutch 20 when operated forward.Air supply means for moving the pressurizing piston 21 forward is as follows: A joint ring 24 is fitted to the outer periphery of the differential case 12 near the cylinder 22 via a seal ring so as to be relatively rotatable, and an air pipe 23 is connected to the joint ring 24, so that air from the air pipe 23 is transferred to the differential case 12. It is designed to be supplied to the cylinder 22 through a passage provided in the cylinder 22. The control structure of the multi-plate clutch 20 will be explained. 5
0 is a main tank, which is connected to the air vibrator 23 of the cylinder 22 through an air pipe 51. A drive source 61 is connected to this air pipe 51 from the main tank 50 side.
A compressor/ysa 60 operated by the compressor 60, and a high-pressure sub-tank 62 that stores the air pressurized by the compressor 60.
A first electromagnetic control valve 52 is arranged, and a branch pipe 53 communicating with the atmosphere is connected to the air pipe 51 after the first electromagnetic control valve 52.
is connected. A second electromagnetic control valve 54 and a pressure sensor 58 are arranged in this branch pipe 53. Incidentally, the first electromagnetic control valve 52 and the second electromagnetic control valve 52 are connected to each other. iii. The control valve 54 is a bobbet valve, a duty valve, an electromagnetic throttle valve, or the like. 63 is a protection valve. 55 is a controller which inputs the pressure signal from the pressure sensor 58 and also controls whether the manual switch 56 is ON or OFF.
The first solenoid control valve 52 and the second solenoid control valve 54 are controlled by inputting the FF signal and the signal from the vehicle speed sensor 57. Next, we will explain the effect of the above configuration. main tank 5
The pressure of zero air is increased by a compressor 60 and the pressure is stored in a sub tank 62. Therefore, when the manual switch 57 is in the ON state, the first and second electromagnetic control valves 52. 54 is turned ON. When the first solenoid control valve 52 is ON, the air pipe 51
When the second electromagnetic control valve 54 is turned on, the branch pipe 53 is opened.
It is designed to close. Therefore, all of the air pressure from the sub-tank 62 is supplied to the cylinder 22, which connects the multi-disc clutch 20 and locks the differential regardless of the vehicle speed. On the other hand, when driving with the manual switch 57 in the OFF state,
When the vehicle speed is low, the first and second electromagnetic control valves 52 and 54 are set to O.
It is FF and the differential lock is released. However, when the vehicle speed reaches a high speed of 70 b/h or higher, for example, the first and second electromagnetic control valves 52 and 54 are turned ON and the differential lock is activated. Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, the air supplied to the air cylinder fitted with the pressurizing piston that presses the multi-disc clutch uses high-pressure air obtained by increasing the pressure of air in the main tank using a compressor. Therefore, the pressing force of the pressure piston increases, and an increase in transmitted torque can be obtained without increasing the diameter of the pressure piston or multi-disc clutch.
