Therefore, the torque applied from the spring 791 to the shift cam 14 at this time becomes 0 as shown by a one-dot chain line A in FIG.
- the groove portion 145 is formed so that the ball 795 is completely pushed out of the groove portion 145 when the shift cam 14 rotates about ⁇ 6 ° or more from the reference state. Therefore, as shown by a one-dot chain line A in FIG. 27, when the rotation angle of the shift cam 14 from the reference state (hereinafter simply referred to as a rotation angle) is within a range of about 6 ° to about 54 °, The torque applied from the spring 791 to the shift cam 14 is zero.

Therefore, as indicated by a dotted line B in FIG. 27, the first rotating member 801 is held in a stable state having holding torque in both directions along the circumferential direction by pressing from the spring 792.
- the negative torque applied to the first rotating member 801 from the spring 792 indicated by the dotted line B becomes negatively maximum when the first rotating member 801 rotates about 54 ° from the reference state. Thereafter, the contact point between the ball 796 and the first rotating member 801 moves onto the chamfered surface 131 (see FIG. 25A), so that the torque applied from the spring 792 to the first rotating member 801 becomes zero.

- the value is almost positive in the range of °, and is almost negative in the range of 30 ° to 60 °. Therefore, as indicated by a two-dot chain line E, the torque applied to the shift cam 14 when the rotation angle of the shift cam 14 is in the range of 0 ° to 30 ° is greater than the torque applied to the shift cam 14 in the range of 30 ° to 60 °. growing.
- the torque applied to the shift cam 14 becomes maximum when the rotation angle of the shift cam 14 is about 6 ° (immediately before the portions where the transmission gear and the spline gear are engaged and connected by the dog mechanism are in contact).
- a large torque is temporarily accumulated in the combination spring 100, and the shift cam 14 is rotated by releasing the accumulated torque. Therefore, a large torque can be applied to the shift cam 14 when the shift cam 14 starts to rotate. As a result, since the spline gear can be moved at a high speed, the spline gear and the transmission gear can be reliably connected and separated immediately after the start of the shift operation.
- the magnitude of the torque applied to the shift cam 14 is appropriately set according to the configuration of the shift mechanism 701 and the like.
- the magnitude of the torque applied to the shift cam 14 can also be changed by appropriately changing the spring constants and attachment loads of the spring 791, the spring 792, and the combination spring 100.
- the spring 791, the spring 792, and the combination spring 100 are provided so that torque in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the shift cam 14 is not applied to the shift cam 14 in the combined torque. It has been.
- the combination spring 100 is composed of two torsion springs such as a first torsion spring 110 and a second torsion spring 120, compared to a configuration using one torsion spring, each hook portion 112, 113, 122, The load on 123 will be halved.
- the first torsion spring 110 and the second torsion spring 120 having different directions in which the coil portions 111 and 121 are spirally wound are combined.
- the combined torsion spring according to the present invention has an effect that a predetermined reaction force in the coil circumferential direction can be preferably obtained without tilting the winding center of the coil portion even when a load is applied, and is mounted on a motorcycle. It is useful as a torsion spring used in a shift mechanism.

Abstract
Description
図2及び図3に示す組み合わせトーションバネ(以下、「組み合わせバネ」という)100は、第1トーションバネ110と、第2トーションバネ120とを有する。なお、図2及び図3は、組み合わせバネ100を所定の取付状態に在るものとして示す。
図4は、シフト機構701を示す斜視図であり、図5は、シフト機構701の分解斜視図であり、図6は、シフト機構701の断面図である。また、図7は、図4とは異なる方向から見たシフト機構701の一部を示す分解斜視図である。なお、図4~図7および後述の図8~図16においては、基準状態(図15参照)におけるシフト機構701について説明する。
ここで、シフトカム駆動装置800の内部構成について図面を用いて説明する。
以下、ギアシフトが行われる際のシフト機構701の動作について図面を用いて詳細に説明する。なお、以下においては、運転者により図示しないシフトアップボタンが押下された場合について説明する。
まず、バネ791からシフトカム14に与えられるトルクについて説明する。
次に、バネ792(図6)から第1回転部材801に与えられるトルクについて説明する。
図27に点線Cで示すように、バネ791からシフトカム14に与えられるトルクおよびバネ792から第1回転部材801に与えられるトルクの合成トルクは、シフトカム14の回転角度が0°~約2.5°の範囲では負の値、約2.5°~30°の範囲では正の値となり、30°~約57.5°の範囲では負の値、約57.5°~60°の範囲では負の値となる。また、シフトカム14の回転角度が0°、30°、60°の各位相では、シフトカム14は回転の双方向に保持トルクを有する安定な状態に保持される。これにいより、変速装置におけるギヤを安定させることができる。その結果、車両の円滑な走行が可能となる。
図19~図26で説明したように、本実施の形態においては、第3回転部材805が基準状態から約30°回転するごとに、組み合わせバネ100に蓄積されたトルク(所定の反力に相当)が第1回転部材801およびシフトカム14に与えられる。これにより、第1回転部材801およびシフトカム14は30°回転する。
本実施の形態に係るシフト機構701においては、バネ791,792からシフトカム14に与えられるトルク(図27の実線C)および組み合わせバネ100からシフトカム14に与えられるトルク(図27の破線D)を合成したトルクがシフトカム14に与えられる。すなわち、図27に2点鎖線Eで示される値がシフトカム14に与えられる。
