軒に適さない等の不具合がアった。Conventionally, the spline part of a propeller shaft was machined into a solid steel shaft for the female type to form the spline, and the spline was machined on the inside of a thick steel tubular member for the female type. It formed a nyoku spline. As a result, the weight of the propeller shaft has increased. For this reason, some types of propeller shafts are made of fiber-reinforced resin for the purpose of reducing their weight, but when used in combination with low-rigidity tubes such as fiber-reinforced resin tubes, the natural vibration of the entire propeller shaft is reduced. Problems arose, such as the number of cars being reduced significantly and making them unsuitable for high speeds.

とにある。The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and its purpose is to reduce the weight by combining a tube made of fiber-reinforced resin and a hollow spline portion. The object of the present invention is to provide a propeller shaft that has high strength, a high natural frequency, and can rotate at high speed.

In the figure, propeller shirt) 1 is a universal jacket
An end yoke 3 to which an end 2 is connected, a tube 4 fixed to the end yoke, a female spline part 5 fixed to the tube, and a female spline part 5 slidably fitted into the female spline part. The main parts include a female spline part 6, an end yoke 7 to which the female spline part is fixed, a universal hinge 8 connected to the end yoke, and a dust cover 9.
チューブ4は線維強化樹脂(以下FRPという)製であ

、ておシ、切削加工はされていかい。As shown in FIG. 2, the female spline portion 6.5 is formed by rolling and plastically deforming a hollow member.
Sorry, no cutting has been done.

It may be attached to.
本発明は、上記のように構成さnており、以下その作用

高くなる。しかも強度は鋼と同程度以上となる。The present invention is constructed as described above, and its operation will be explained below. CFRP tube 4 is CFRP
Since the specific gravity of is about 2, the rigidity is inferior to that of a steel tube, but the weight is reduced to about 1/4, and the natural frequency is very high. Moreover, its strength is at least the same as that of steel.

量は相当軽減さn1曲げ剛性も十分に大きい。The female-shaped and female-shaped spline portions 6.5 are rolled by placing a rolling tool on the outside and inside of a perfectly circular thin-walled hollow member, respectively.
They are formed by plastic deformation into a spline shape, and are fitted together as shown in the drawings. Therefore, the weight is considerably reduced compared to a solid one, and the n1 bending rigidity is also sufficiently high.

を図ることができる。The present invention employs a combination of the above-mentioned FRP tube and hollow spline part, so it is lightweight and has high strength. Also, since the spline part is particularly light, the reduction in the natural frequency is small and the speed is high. It is possible to provide a rotatable propeller shaft which has a much better f' than the conventional example. This also makes it possible to reduce the weight of the vehicle, improve acceleration/deceleration performance, and reduce fuel consumption.
