Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the occurrence of resistance against the flow of lubricating oil by a method wherein the thickness in an axial direction of the part, closer to an inner peripheral edge, of spacer is decreased to a value lower than the thickness in an axial direction of a part with which the end faces of rollers arranged in a plurality of rows are brought into contact. CONSTITUTION:Slopes 30 inclined in a reverse direction to each other are formed at the parts, closer to an inner peripheral edge, of the two end faces in an axial direction of a spacer 23a. Based on the slope 30, the thickness in an axial direction of the part, closer to an inner peripheral edge, of the spacer 23a is decreased toward the inner peripheral edge. The width (w) of the inner peripheral edge of the spacer 23a is decreased to a value lower than the diameter D of the opening of the nozzle hole 27, Further, the end face of each roller 21 is brought into contact with a part closer to an outer periphery than each slope 30 and having a sufficiently high thickness. This constitution feeds a sufficient amount of lubricating oil to the rolling surface of each roller 21 and a contact part between inner and outer wheel orbits 19 and 20, reduces the occurrence of wear, and the occurrence of a trouble, such as seizure.

However, in the conventional rotation supporting device for the planetary gears, when the conditions are strict, the portion that needs lubrication, that is, the inner ring raceway 19 and the outer ring raceway 20 and the plurality of rollers. 21, 21, the contact portion with the rolling surface,
Also, there is a possibility that the installation portions of the thrust washers 17, 18 may not be sufficiently lubricated between the both end surfaces of the planetary gear 7 and the inner surfaces of the support plate 5 and the connecting plate 9. That is, in the case of an automatic transmission for automobiles that incorporates a planetary gear device, the lubricating oil (also used as automatic fluid) stored in the transmission case is pumped by a pump to each portion that requires lubrication, but the rotation of the planetary gear 7 The support is located at the end of the hydraulic circuit for supplying the lubricating oil. Further, this hydraulic circuit is branched into a plurality of parts on the way, and there are a plurality of ends.

Therefore, if the resistance against the flow of the lubricating oil increases in the planetary gear rotary support portion, which is the terminal portion, the lubricating oil flows more to the other terminal portions, and the amount flowing to the terminal portion having the higher resistance decreases. I will end up. In addition, the increase in the resistance at the end portion increases the back pressure of the pump and increases the power required to drive the pump, which causes the performance of an automatic transmission or the like incorporating a planetary gear device to deteriorate. Become. Therefore, in order to sufficiently lubricate the rotation support portion for the planetary gears and to improve the performance of the automatic transmission and the like, the resistance of the plurality of rotation support portions for the planetary gears (with respect to passage of lubricating oil) is increased. Needs to be small. However, in the case of the conventional rotation support device for planetary gears, the following
Due to the above reasons, the resistance of the rotary support device portion was not always small.

Since the opening of the nozzle hole 27 is close to the inner peripheral edge of the spacer 23, the flow passage area between the nozzle hole 27 and the space 22 is narrow. That is, in the case of the conventional structure, as shown in FIG. 15, the inner diameter of the spacer 23 is only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the support shaft 6, and the inner peripheral edge of the spacer 23 is the nozzle hole 27. Was facing the opening. For this reason, most of the openings of the nozzle holes 23 are the spacers 2.
It was blocked by No. 3, the flow passage area was narrowed, and the resistance against the flow of lubricating oil was increased.

Since the width of the lubricating oil flow path at which the washers 17 and 18 are installed is narrow and long, it is difficult for the lubricating oil to flow. As a result, the space between the side surfaces of the thrust washers 17, 18 and the thrust washers 17, 1, respectively.
It becomes difficult for a sufficient amount of lubricating oil to be fed into the gap between the side surface of No. 8 and the inner surface of the support plate 5 and the connecting plate 9 or both end surfaces of the planetary gear 7. As a result, the parts where the thrust washers 17, 18 are installed are insufficiently lubricated,
Not only may seizure occur in this portion, but also the replacement of the lubricating oil in the space 22 becomes defective. As a result, the lubrication between the inner ring raceway 19 and the outer ring raceway 20 and the rolling surfaces of the plurality of rollers 21, 21 also becomes poor.

The lubricating oil that has entered the oil supply passage 25 provided in the center of the support shaft 6 from the oil supply passage 24 provided in the support plate 5 is not always effectively fed into the nozzle hole 27. As a result, the lubricating oil stays in the oil supply passages 25 and the resistance in the oil supply passages 24, 25 increases. As a result,
There is a possibility that the lubricating oil supplied to the space 22 or the installation portion of the thrust washers 17, 18 may be insufficient.
