Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress an energy loss by unnecessary brake force to a minimum limit, by controlling brake force acting in a holding member provided between input/output members of a clutch to assist meshing of a lock member. SOLUTION: Between input/output rings 3, 4, a plurality of roller holding parts 64 of a holding member 6 and a plurality of rollers 21 are alternately arranged, a friction part 63 of the holding part 6 is brought into contact with a friction member 15 fixed to each housing 1, by generating brake force, meshing of the roller 21, at the moment when torque is input to an input shaft 2, is assisted. When meshing of the roller 21 is completed, by torque input to the input shaft 2, a torsion bar 5 is twisted, by a cam mechanism 25, a slider 7 is moved in the right direction in the drawing. As a result, the holding member 6 is separated from the friction member 15 by elastic force of a compression spring 12, generation of unnecessary brake force is avoided.

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 11 shows a conventional example of such a clutch device, in which a lock is provided between an input member 01 having an octagonal cross section and an annular output member 02 arranged so as to surround the outer periphery thereof. And eight holding members 04 that partition between the eight rollers 03... A predetermined frictional resistance is given to the rotation of the holding member 04, and at the moment when the input member 01 starts to rotate in the direction of the arrow, for example, from the state of FIG. 01, a slight relative rotation occurs between the input member 01, the output member 02, and the holding member 04, as shown in FIG. 02.
Even when the input member 01 rotates in the opposite direction, the rotation is transmitted from the input member 01 to the output member 02 as described above. However, no matter which direction the output member 02 rotates, the rotation of the output member 02 to the input member 01 is not performed because the rollers 03 do not bite.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when a torque is input to an input member, a braking force is applied by a braking force control means to rotate the motor. Since the input member relatively rotates with respect to the restricted holding member, the lock member whose circumferential movement is restricted by the holding member is bitten between the input member and the output member, and the torque of the input member is applied to the output member. Is transmitted. When the engagement of the lock member is completed, the braking force applied to the holding member by the braking force control means is released, so that the holding member can freely rotate together with the input member and the output member, and energy loss due to frictional resistance. Is minimized.
