Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tensioner that keeps the tension of an endless belt or chain constant.
- a tensioner for example, presses a timing belt used in an automobile engine with a predetermined force and acts to keep the tension constant when the belt is stretched or loosened. .
- FIG. 21 shows a state in which the tensioner 100 is mounted on the engine body 200 of the automobile. Inside the engine body 200, lubricating oil (not shown) is sealed. In addition, a pair of cam sprockets 210, 210 and a crank sprocket 220 are arranged inside the engine body 200, and the timing chain 230 is endless between the sprockets 210, 210, 220. It has been handed over. Further, a chain guide 240 is swingably disposed on the moving path of the timing chain 230, and the timing chain 230 slides on the chain guide 240.

- the engine body 200 is fixed.
- the case 111 passes through the mounting hole 260, and the propulsion shaft 120 protruding from the case 111 presses the timing chain 230 through the chain guide 240, so that tension is applied to the timing chain 230. Can be granted.
- the general structure of the tensioner 100 is that the propulsion shaft 120 and the rotary shaft 130 (see FIG. 22) are housed in the case 111 in a screwed state. As the propulsion shaft 120 advances, tension is applied to the timing chain 230. The rotation shaft 130 is rotated by the biasing force of the spring 133 accommodated in the case 111. In the structure of FIG. 22, a torsion spring is used as the spring 133. One end of the spring 133 is locked to the case 111, while the other end 133a is a rotary shaft. The rotary shaft 130 is urged to rotate by being inserted into the slit 130a of the shaft 130 and locked.

After the assembly to the engine body 200, the rotational urging force of the spring 133 is released from the locked state force and the rotating shaft 130 is rotated. By this rotation, the propulsion shaft 120 advances and the above-described tension is applied. . Therefore, in such a tensioner, it is necessary to hold the rotational urging force of the spring 133 in a locked state in processes such as shipment and conveyance until assembly to the engine body 200. The holding in the locked state is performed by turning the rotating shaft 130 to be stopped by being urged by the spring 133, and as shown in FIG. Is used.

Then, after the leg portion 138a is inserted into the rear end portion of the case 111, the engaging portion 138b is engaged with the engaging groove 115, so that the rotation shaft 130 is stopped from rotating as in FIG. It is.

Pull out stoppers 137 and 138 from the case against this holding state. As a result, the rotation stop state force of the rotation shaft 130 is also released, so that the rotation shaft 130 is rotated by the biasing force of the spring 133, and thereby the propulsion shaft advances. After the stoppers 137 and 138 have been pulled out, oil leakage is prevented by screwing seal bolts (not shown) into the insertion portions of the cases 111 and 138 in the case 111 for sealing.
- a stagger mechanism is provided on the side surface of the case.
- the side surface of the case is opened, a seal member is fitted in the opening hole, and a pin-shaped stopper is provided. Is inserted into the outer force seal member of the case and engaged with the rotating shaft. The rotation of the rotating shaft is stopped when the stopper is engaged with the rotating shaft, and after the tensioner is assembled to the engine body, the rotating stopped state is released by pulling out the stopper to enable rotation of the rotating shaft by the spring. Is.
- a stopper mechanism is provided at the rear end portion of the case.

However, the action portion 15c passes through the receiving seat 17. Since the left and right action portions 15c are elastically deformed, the outer surface thereof is in close contact with the inner surface of the receiving seat 17, and therefore a frictional force is generated. As a result, the stopper 15 does not fall off from the case 2. In this case, the engaging portion 15b engages with the engaging groove 19 of the case 2, so that the stopper 15 can stop the first shaft member 3 from rotating.
- FIGS. 12 and 13 show variations of this embodiment.
- a raised portion 15f that prevents outward is formed at the end of the free end of the U-shaped stopper 15.
- the left and right action portions 15c are brought into close contact with the inner surface of the receiving seat 17, and a frictional force is generated.
- the raised portions 15f are formed in the left and right action portions 15c, the fixing force with respect to the receiving seat 17 is increased, and it is possible to further prevent the dropout.
- the stopper 15 includes a leg portion 15a inserted into the slit 12 of the first shaft member 3, a locking portion 15b that engages with the engagement groove 19 of the case 2, and a spring property as in the first embodiment. And left and right action portions 15c having elastic deformation.
- the opening hole 18 of the case 2 is formed in a conical shape.
- the conical opening 18 is a conical hole with a gradient 0 in which the diameter gradually decreases as the first shaft member 3 is directed toward the first shaft member 3.
- the inner surface of the opening hole 18 has an uneven shape such as a crust.
- the opening hole 18 may be subjected to multi-strand processing on the portion where the action portion 15c of the stopper 15 contacts, or may have a conical shape opposite to that shown in FIG.
- the frictional force with the stopper 15 can be increased, and the stopper 15 can be stably held by the case 2.
- the screw 21 is formed on the inner surface of the opening hole 18.
- the seal bolt can be screwed into the opening hole 18 after the stopper 15 is pulled out, so that oil leakage can be prevented.
- the action portion 15c of the stopper 15 is brought into close contact with the screw thread of the screw 21 to generate a frictional force. That is, the action portion 15c has a merit that the flat portion thereof is in close contact with the thread of the screw 21 and the screw 21 is not damaged when the stopper 15 is pulled out from the case 2.
- the left and right action portions 15c of the stopper 15 are formed with irregularities 15g similar to the screws 21.
- the unevenness 15g is engaged with the screw 21.
- the action portion 15c and the opening hole 18 are firmly adhered, so that the stopper 15 can be more stably fixed to the case 2.
- the portions of the left and right action portions 15c that contact the case 2 are formed in an arc shape.
- the arcuate R surface 15i is formed to be somewhat longer along the direction in which the stopper 15 is inserted into the case 2. As a result, the case 2 can be firmly adhered to the opening 18.
- the arcuate R surface 15i in the left and right action parts 15c is formed so as to be shorter than that in the form of FIG. Sealing can be performed firmly.
- convex portions 15k are formed for the left and right action portions 15c.
- the convex portion 15k has a return shape that protrudes in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion into the opening hole 18 of the case 2, and by adopting such a return shape, the action portion 15c and the opening hole 18 are Adhesion can be performed firmly, and the stopper 15 can be held firmly in the case 2.
- the present invention can be variously modified without being limited to the above embodiments.
- the action portion 15c that is in close contact with the case 2 or the receiving seat 17 can have a shape other than that of the above embodiment, and the arrangement position on the stagger 15 can be appropriately selected.
- a spring other than a torsion spring such as a spring or the like may be used.
- the tensioner according to the present invention is suitable as a tensioner for a belt or chain of a vehicle because the case does not drop off the case force due to vibration during transportation.
