DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a traction drive fluid, and more particularly to a traction drive type continuously variable transmission for an automobile, a hydraulic transmission mechanism, a hydraulic control mechanism, and a wet type. The present invention relates to a traction drive fluid that can be used for a friction characteristic control mechanism of a clutch.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the field of industrial machinery, a traction drive fluid has been used in a traction drive type power transmission device that transmits power via an oil film. In such a device, the traction drive fluid is required to have a high traction coefficient indicating the power transmission capacity. Research and development of traction drive fluids are being pursued for use in continuously variable transmissions for automobiles. When used for automobiles, the traction drive fluid is
It is used not only for a power transmission mechanism but also for a hydraulic control mechanism and a friction characteristic control mechanism of a wet clutch. By the way, an automatic transmission oil (hereinafter referred to as ATF) is a lubricating oil used for a hydraulic control mechanism and a friction characteristic control mechanism of a wet clutch as a transmission for an automobile. It is a well-known fact that ATF is required to have a certain high kinematic viscosity at high temperatures and excellent low-temperature fluidity in order to fulfill its role as a hydraulic control mechanism. . In addition, in order to fulfill the role of a friction characteristic control mechanism of a wet clutch, particularly a control mechanism with a slip control mechanism added, the ATF is compounded with an additive having excellent friction characteristics, especially excellent anti-shudder characteristics. Is also a well-known fact. Therefore, when the traction drive fluid is used in a traction drive type continuously variable transmission for an automobile, the traction drive fluid is required not only for the power transmission capability originally excellent in performance but also for the ATF. A capacity as a fluid for hydraulic control and a capacity as a fluid for friction control characteristics of a wet clutch are required. However, as a commercially available traction drive fluid, "Santo Truck" is widely known to have excellent power transmission capability, but when used in a continuously variable transmission for automobiles. Since it is necessary to satisfy fluidity at low temperatures and other performances, at present, traction drive fluids for automobiles have not yet been commercialized. Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention not only to have excellent power transmission capability, but also to have a performance as a hydraulic control fluid and a fluid for friction control characteristics of a wet clutch. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a traction drive fluid having excellent capability.

When the number average molecular weight of the α-olefin copolymer or its hydride is less than 800, the viscosity increase is low and the traction coefficient is reduced, and when it exceeds 150,000, the shear stability is deteriorated.

One or more arbitrarily selected S components may be added in any amount as long as it does not affect other performances, such as oxidation stability. In order to increase the durability of the frictional characteristics, it is necessary to prevent the deterioration of the frictional characteristics due to the deterioration of the S component. It is effective. However, if the amount is too large, the coefficient of static friction, which needs to be high to maintain the engagement of the wet clutch, also decreases. Therefore, the amount of the S component is limited. When it is necessary to add an S component exceeding this limit in order to increase the durability of the friction characteristics, an additive (Y component) for increasing the friction coefficient can be added. The following are examples of the Y component. (Y-1) A compound having a polar group represented by the S component in the same molecule and a lipophilic group being a hydrocarbon group having 100 or less carbon atoms.

7. Petroleum products and lubricating oils-Neutralization number test method Means the total base number measured by the perchloric acid method in accordance with When the total base number of the metal-based detergent is less than 20 mgKOH / g, the effect of suppressing the decrease in strength against repeated compression of the wet clutch is insufficient, while the total base number is 4 mgKOH / g.
If it exceeds 50 mgKOH / g, it is not preferable because it is structurally unstable and the storage stability of the composition deteriorates.

Specific examples of the alkyl aromatic sulfonic acids include so-called petroleum sulfonic acids and synthetic sulfonic acids. As petroleum sulfonic acids,
Generally, sulfonated alkyl aromatic compounds in lubricating oil fractions of mineral oil and by-products during the production of white oil,
So-called mahoganic acid is used. As the synthetic sulfonic acid, for example, an alkylbenzene having a linear or branched alkyl group, which is obtained as a by-product from an alkylbenzene production plant, which is a raw material of a detergent, or obtained by alkylating a polyolefin to benzene, is used as a raw material. A sulfonated version thereof, or a sulfonated version of dinonylnaphthalene is used.
The sulfonating agent for sulfonating these alkyl aromatic compounds is not particularly limited, but fuming sulfuric acid or sulfuric acid is usually used. Also, here (T-

Alternatively, a calcium salt is preferably used. Further, as the (T-3) alkaline earth metal salicylate, more specifically, for example, at least one linear or branched alkyl group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, preferably 6 to 18 carbon atoms. Alkaline earth metal salts of alkyl salicylic acid, particularly magnesium salts and / or calcium salts, are preferably used. In addition, the alkaline earth metal sulfonate, alkaline earth metal phenate and alkaline earth metal salicylate have metal salts of 20 to 450 mg KO.
As long as it is within the range of H / g, alkyl aromatic sulfonic acid, alkyl phenol, alkyl phenol sulfide, Mannich reaction product of alkyl phenol, alkyl salicylic acid, etc. can be directly converted to magnesium or / and calcium alkaline earth metal oxide or water. Neutral salts (normal salts) obtained by reacting with alkaline earth metal bases such as oxides, or by once replacing alkali metal salts such as sodium salts and potassium salts with alkaline earth metal salts And further obtained by heating these neutral salts (normal salts) and excess alkaline earth metal salts or alkaline earth metal bases (hydroxides or oxides of alkaline earth metals) in the presence of water. Basic salts,

The reaction is performed in a solvent (such as an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent such as hexane, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent such as xylene, or a light lubricating base oil).

% By mass, preferably 0.05 to 4.0% by mass. When the amount is less than 0.01% by mass, the effect of suppressing the decrease in strength of the wet clutch against repeated compression is insufficient. On the other hand, when the amount exceeds 5.0% by mass, the oxidation stability of the composition becomes poor. It is not preferable because they decrease.

By mixing the Q, P, T and S components, the traction drive fluid can be used for abrasion resistance, oxidation stability and cleanliness required for a hydraulic control mechanism, and for a friction characteristic control mechanism of a wet clutch. It is possible to add necessary friction characteristics to wet clutches, strength against repeated compression of wet clutches, etc., but to further improve these performances, and to improve corrosion resistance to non-ferrous metals such as copper-based materials, and nylon Antioxidants, extreme pressure additives, corrosion inhibitors, rubber swelling agents, defoamers, coloring agents, etc. can be further compounded, alone or in combination, for the purpose of improving the durability of resins such as materials. it can. As the antioxidant, any one commonly used in lubricating oils such as a phenolic compound and an amine compound can be used. Specifically, 2-6-di-tert-butyl-4-

One or two or more compounds arbitrarily selected from these can be blended in any amount, but it is usually desirable to blend 0.01 to 5.0% by mass. Examples of extreme pressure additives include sulfur compounds such as disulfides, sulfurized olefins, and sulfurized oils and fats. One or two or more compounds arbitrarily selected from these can be blended in an arbitrary amount, but it is usually desirable to blend 0.1 to 5.0% by mass.
