[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention involves inserting a driven shaft into the cylindrical boss portion of the driving rotor so that it can rotate freely, and forming a recess formed on the outer circumferential surface of the driven shaft and the cylindrical boss portion passing through the inside and outside. The transmission ball is inserted and held across the notch formed in the
A ball holding cylinder that can be shifted in the axial direction is artificially fitted onto the outer periphery of the cylinder boss portion, and the ball is inserted into the inner circumference of the ball holding cylinder across the recess and the notch. An abutment surface that abuts and supports and a recess that allows the ball to move radially outward and come off the recess are arranged side by side in the axial direction, and the ball is moved through the ball by shifting the ball presser cylinder. This invention relates to a ball clutch configured to switch between a transmission and a transmission release state.

In the above-mentioned ball clutch, in a transmission state in which the power transmission ball is engaged and held across the notch formed in the cylindrical boss portion of the driving rotor and the recess formed in the driven shaft, this ball makes contact with the driving reaction force. The dimensions of the ball engaging part are set so that it is always receiving a force transferred outward in the radial direction by
When the ball retainer is shifted to the clutch disengagement position, the ball is quickly and reliably pulled out of the recess in the driven shaft, but the force with which the ball moves outward in the radial direction depends on the machining accuracy of the part. If the outward movement force of the ball is too large, a large resistance will be generated in the shifting of the ball presser tube that absorbs this force, making the clutch disengagement operation difficult.
On the other hand, if the outward movement force of the ball is too small, there is a problem that the clutch becomes difficult to disengage.

A plurality of recesses 8 (six in the embodiment) are formed at a constant pitch in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the inner end of the axle 5, and the same number of notches 9 are formed in the cylinder bosses 4, 4.
are formed to penetrate inside and outside, and a transmission ball 10 is engaged and held in each pair of recess 8 and notch 9. Furthermore, a ball presser cylinder 11 that is movable in the axial direction is fitted onto the outer periphery of each cylinder boss portion 4, and is normally pressed laterally outwardly by a coil spring 12. The inner circumferential portion of the ball holding cylinder 11 is provided with the ball 10 across the recess 8 and the notch 9 when the cylinder 11 is in contact with the stopper 13 and is in a position where lateral outward movement is restricted. an abutment surface 14 for holding the sprocket in the engaged state; and a recess for allowing the ball 10 to disengage outwardly from the recess 8 when the tube 4' is shifted toward the sprocket 3 against the spring 12. An inlet 15 is formed, and the power is transmitted from the sprocket 3 to the left and right axles 5, 5 independently by shifting the left and right ball holding cylinders 11, 11 left and right. still,
Each ball presser cylinder 11 is shifted by a shift fork 17 that is swingable about a support shaft 16, and each shift fork 17 is linked by wire to a steering clutch lever (not shown).

That is, an annular shallow groove (group) 18 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical boss portion 4 of the sprocket 3, passing through each notch 9. A contact point A with the inner edge of the notch 9 is located at the bottom of the shallow groove 18. Therefore, the ball 10 receives a tangential driving force F 1 from the cylinder boss 4 at the contact point A, and also receives a tangential driving reaction force F 2 from the axles 5 at the contact point B with the axle 5. As shown in FIG. 4, the resultant force of the driving force F 1 and the driving reaction force F 2 acts as a transition force f that constantly tends to move the ball 10 outward in the radial direction.

Then, the ball presser tube 11 is shifted against the frictional force generated between the ball 10 and the ball presser tube 11 due to this transitional force f and the centrifugal force, and the contact surface 14 is moved from the notch 9 position. When removed, the ball 10 moves into the recessed part 15 of the ball holding cylinder 11, and power transmission is canceled.

In this case, if the component force f is large, the pressing force of the ball presser cylinder 11 on the abutting surface 14 becomes large in the clutch engaged state, and the resistance to the movement of the cylinder 11 in the clutch disengaging direction becomes large. On the other hand, if the component force f is too small, the ball 10 will be difficult to come off from the recess 8, resulting in poor clutch engagement. Therefore, by appropriately setting the depth of the shallow groove 18 of the cylinder boss portion 4, a component force f of an appropriate magnitude can be obtained.

Incidentally, shallow grooves 19 are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the axles 5, 5, passing through the respective recesses 8, and the entrance edges of the recesses 8 are deformed by contact with the balls 10 and protrude outward. The inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical boss portion 4 is also prevented from coming into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder boss portion 4.

As explained above in the embodiments, the ball clutch of the present invention has a shallow groove formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical boss portion of the driving rotor through which the notch for engaging the ball is formed, so that the edge of the notch and the ball are connected to each other. Since the contact point is located at the bottom of the shallow groove, by changing the depth of this shallow groove, the magnitude of the outward transition force due to the ball drive reaction force can be easily set. It has now become possible to appropriately set the outward movement component of the ball only by machining the shallow groove without changing the dimensions of the inner diameter of the cylinder boss or the outer diameter of the axle fitted therein.
