2. Description of the Related Art A conventional two-way clutch includes, for example, a plurality of sprags, which are torque transmitting members having cam surfaces formed on inner and outer portions, between an outer ring as an input member and an inner ring as an output member.

[0003] In this two-way clutch, in the neutral state where the sprags stand upright between the inner and outer wheels, the cam surface of the sprags is disengaged from the peripheral surfaces of the inner and outer wheels, whereby the rotational torque from the outer wheel as the input member is reduced. Cut off. On the other hand, when the sprag tilts by a predetermined amount due to the differential rotation of the inner cage with respect to the outer cage, the cam surface of the sprag presses and engages with the peripheral surface of the inner and outer races, whereby the rotational torque from the outer race as the input member is increased.

By the way, the aforementioned 2
When the directional clutch is used at a low temperature, switching from torque interruption to torque transmission may not be performed smoothly. This is because a thick oil film is formed between the peripheral surface of the inner and outer rings and the cam surface of the sprag due to the decrease in the viscosity of the lubricating oil, and the cam surface of the inner and outer rings in the region (standby region) before shifting to the torque transmission region. It is considered that there is a cause for slipping on the peripheral surface.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the low-temperature engagement characteristics, various factors should be improved so that the cam surface of the sprag, particularly the standby area, tends to be boundary lubricated with the peripheral surfaces of the inner and outer rings. Factors for improving the low-temperature engagement characteristics include lowering the viscosity of the lubricating oil, decreasing the engagement speed, and increasing the surface pressure at which the oil film is cut.

Therefore, the present invention increases the above-mentioned factor, that is, the surface pressure at which the oil film is cut, by increasing the surface pressure so that the cam surface of the sprag tends to be boundary lubricated with respect to the peripheral surfaces of the inner and outer rings as described above. An object is to improve the meshing characteristics.

In the two-way clutch of the present invention, the sprag 3
Is in the neutral position, the sprag 3 is in the upright position as shown in FIG. 4 and separates from the inner peripheral surface of the input gear 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 2 to cut off the rotational torque from the input gear 1. I do. On the other hand, when the sprag 3 is tilted in one of the forward and reverse rotation directions, the cam surfaces 14 and 15 are respectively brought into pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the input gear 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 2 as shown in FIG. Thus, the rotational torque from the input gear 1 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 2 (and the output gear 11).

The above-described tilting of the sprag 3 is realized by the differential rotation of the inner retainer 5 with respect to the input gear 1 (and the outer retainer 4). That is, when the input gear 1 rotates, the outer retainer 4 rotates synchronously with the input gear 1. Here, the friction plate 8 is prevented from rotating with respect to the casing by the engagement of the claw portions 8 a, so that slippage occurs between the friction plate 8 and the inner retainer 5, and the inner retainer 5 receives a frictional force from the friction plate 8. As a result, the inner retainer 5 rotates differentially with respect to the input gear 1 and the outer retainer 4, and the sprags 3 tilt.

A cutout is provided on a part of the inner side of the outer retainer 4, and a stopper pin 17 is protruded from the cutout on the inner retainer 5 at a position facing the cutout. Therefore, the tilting of the sprag 3 is restricted by the differential rotation of the inner cage 5 until the stopper pin 17 of the inner cage 5 comes into contact with the notch end face of the outer cage 4 (see FIG. 1).

Here, the sprag 3 of the present invention has a raised portion 16 at a part of the standby area n of the cam surfaces 14 and 15, that is, at both ends in the axial direction of the sprag 3, as described above. When tilted (see FIG. 5),
A standby area n of the cam surfaces 14, 15 which gradually shifts from a neutral state to a pressure contact state in a torque transmission area m (see FIG. 3).
Then, only the raised portion 16 in the axial direction of the sprag 3 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the input gear 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 2.

As a result, the pressure receiving area on the inner peripheral surface of the input gear 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 2 is reduced, so that the surface pressure by the sprags 3 is increased, and the inner peripheral surface of the input gear 1 and the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft 2 are increased. The oil film existing on the surface can be easily cut. Thereby, the transition from the standby area n to the torque transmission area m can be performed smoothly.
