[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field This invention relates to a one-way clutch using rollers, which can be used as a support shaft for a tension pulley of a chain or belt, or as a mechanism that allows linear movement in only one direction. It can be used in various fields.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Generally speaking, a ratchet is a typical mechanism that allows any machine to move in only one direction, but a one-way clutch that uses rollers, sprags, etc. is a mechanism that allows this to occur steplessly. Most of these one-way clutches function in the rotational direction, and there are very few one-way clutches that function only in the linear direction.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, actual machines operate not only in the rotational direction but also in the linear direction. For this reason, a one-way clutch that functions in a straight direction is also required. Conventionally, therefore, the operating direction of the rotational clutch has been changed to the linear direction using a rod or cam, but this has the drawbacks of complicating the structure and increasing the size of the entire device. In addition, conventional one-way clutches using rollers had the disadvantage that the contact surface with the rollers had to be a cam surface, which was time-consuming.

Therefore, the present invention uses rollers to configure a linear one-way clutch that is used in a linear direction, thereby allowing the machine to operate the one-way clutch without changing the operating direction of the rotational one-way clutch to the direct direction using a rod or cam. The one-way clutch can be manufactured easily by restricting the movement of the clutch in any one of the linear directions, and by making the contact surface with the roller an arcuate surface.

Embodiment FIGS. 1 and 2 show a linear one-way clutch according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is an outer member having a cylindrical inner peripheral surface, and 2, 2 are through holes provided in the outer member 1 and perpendicular to the axis thereof. Reference numeral 3 denotes a cylindrical retainer inserted concentrically into the outer member 1, and through holes 4 are provided at positions corresponding to the through holes 2, 2 of the outer member 1, respectively, as shown in FIG. , 4 are provided. Holding parts 5, 5 for holding rollers 9, 9, which will be described later, are provided at positions substantially perpendicular to the through holes 4, 4 of the retainer 3, and one side of each of the holding parts 5, 5 has a , storage portions 7, 7 for storing springs 6, 6 for pressing the rollers 9, 9 in a predetermined direction are provided. In addition, cage 3
In addition to the integral cylindrical shape shown in FIG. 3, a separate semi-cylindrical shape may also be used. Reference numeral 8 denotes through holes 2, 2, and 2 provided in the outer member 1 and the retainer 3, respectively.
4, 4, the upper and lower surfaces of this shaft 8 are provided with flat parts 8a, 8a that come into contact with rollers 9, 9, and the arcuate parts 8b, 8b of the shaft 8 are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the shaft 8. It is slidably guided and supported in contact with the inner peripheral surfaces of the first through holes 2, 2 provided in the first through holes 2, 2. 9,
Reference numeral 9 denotes a shaft 8 that passes through the outer member 1 and the retainer 3 while being held by the retainers 5, 5 of the retainer 3.
and the inner circumferential surface 1 of the outer member 1.
This roller is inserted into the wedge-shaped gap formed between the roller and the roller. The rollers 9, 9 are pressed by springs 6, 6 stored in the storage parts 5, 5 of the retainer 3, so that the center P of the rollers 9, 9 is normally perpendicular to the axis of the outer member 1. Bisector Y-Y in cross section
It is held at a position a predetermined distance e away to one side (on the left side in the figure).

In the above configuration, when the shaft 8 is slid to the right in the figure, the rollers 9, 9 are moved to the inner circumferential surface of the outer member 1.
Since the shaft 8 rotates between the shaft 8a and the flat portions 8a, 8a of the shaft 8, the shaft 8 can smoothly slide to the right in the figure. On the other hand, when trying to slide the shaft 8 to the left in the figure, the action of the springs 6 causes the center P
The rollers 9, 9, which are offset to the left in the figure by a distance e from the bisector Y-Y in the cross section perpendicular to the axis of the cage 3, move further to the left, that is, in the wedge-shaped gap. Since it tries to move to the narrow side, roller 9,
The outer peripheral surface of 9 is connected to the inner peripheral surface 1a of the outer member 1 and the shaft 8.
It presses against the flat parts 8a, 8a of the plate to act as a wedge,
This prevents the shaft 8 from moving to the left in the figure. Therefore, the shaft 8 passing through the outer member 1 and the retainer 3 can only move to the right in the figure.

The outer member 1 used in the one-way clutch described above may be, for example, the outer ring of an NU-type cylindrical roller bearing or the outer ring of a shell-type needle bearing. In particular, if a double-flange type outer ring is used, such as the outer ring of an NU type cylindrical roller bearing, a structure can be created in which the cage does not fall off from the outer member due to interference with the rollers.

The one-way clutch is used as follows:
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the timing chain or timing belt A of an automobile engine is attached to an automatic pressure regulating tension pulley B, etc., which automatically takes up slack during use and maintains a specified tension. In this case, it is used to prevent the shaft D supporting the pulley C of the automatic pressure adjustment tension pulley B from moving upward in the figure against the elastic force of the spring E.

Effects of the Invention As described above, if the one-way clutch using rollers is made to function in the linear direction, when one-way movement in the linear direction is restricted, the one-way clutch in the rotational direction cannot be used as in the conventional one-way clutch. Since there is no need to change the operating direction to a linear direction using a rod or cam, the structure of the one-way clutch can be simplified. Moreover, the one-way clutch of the present invention can use the cylindrical inner circumferential surface of the outer member as a wedge surface, and is extremely simple to manufacture.
