Description

Dynamic vibration absorber for automobile

The present invention relates to a dynamic vibration absorber for automobiles.

A conventional torque converter including a damper device and a dynamic vibration absorber has been disclosed (see Patent Document 1). In this torque converter, the damper device reduces torque fluctuations over a wide range of rotation speeds, and the dynamic vibration absorber reduces torque fluctuations due to resonance or the like at specific rotation speeds. For example, in the conventional dynamic vibration absorber (5), the rotation of the engine includes a rotating member (10) and an inertial mass portion (9) that is swingably disposed on the rotating member via a rolling roller (27). (Refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1). In this dynamic vibration absorber, when the rotation of the engine is transmitted to the rotating member, centrifugal force acts on the inertial mass portion, and the inertial mass portion swings relative to the rotating member. The fluctuation of torque is reduced by the oscillation of the inertial mass portion.

Special table 2011-504986 gazette

In the conventional dynamic vibration absorber, when the engine rotates and a centrifugal force acts on the inertial mass portion, the inertial mass portion swings in a circular orbit with respect to the rotating member via the rolling roller. Here, when the engine is stopped and the rotation of the rotating member gradually decreases, the centrifugal force acting on the inertial mass portion becomes smaller than the gravity acting on the inertial mass portion, and the inertial mass portion falls downward. Then, a collision noise between the inertial mass portion and the rolling roller, a collision noise between the rotating member and the rolling roller, or the like may occur.

In the process of rotating the rotating member, not all of the plurality of inertia mass parts swing in the same state, but only a part of the plurality of inertia mass parts falls downward and swings. There is also a risk. Due to the unbalanced oscillation of the inertial mass portion, there is a possibility that a vibration unexpected by the designer may occur.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dynamic vibration absorber capable of operating a mass part stably.

(1) A dynamic vibration absorber for an automobile according to one aspect of the present invention is for attenuating vibration transmitted from an engine to a transmission. The dynamic vibration absorber includes a rotating part, a plurality of mass parts, a connecting part, and a guide mechanism.

Rotating part can rotate around the center of rotation. Each of the plurality of mass parts can attenuate the vibration of the rotating part by moving relative to the rotating part when the rotating part rotates. A connection part connects a rotation part and a mass part. The guide mechanism guides the mass portion in the radial direction when the rotating portion rotates.

In this dynamic vibration absorber, when the rotating part rotates around the rotation center, each of the plurality of mass parts connected to the rotating part by the connecting part is guided in the radial direction by the guide mechanism. Thereby, each of the plurality of mass parts moves relative to the rotating part and attenuates the vibration of the rotating part.

Thus, in this dynamic vibration absorber, the rotating part and each mass part are connected by the connecting part, and the movement of each mass part is restricted in the radial direction by the guide mechanism. That is, each mass part moves in a direction (radial direction) different from the rotation direction of the rotating part while being supported by the rotating part by the connecting part.

For example, when the case where a plurality of mass parts is a pair of mass parts is taken as an example, one center of gravity of the pair of mass parts is located above the center of rotation, and the other center of gravity of the pair of mass parts is from the center of rotation. When the rotation of the rotating part becomes low in the state of being positioned below, each mass part moves downward (drops) due to gravity.

At this time, when one mass part is about to fall in a state where each mass part is connected to the rotating part by each connecting part, the rotating part is in the first rotating direction and the second rotating direction (what is the first rotating direction? Try to rotate in either one of the opposite rotation directions). On the other hand, when the other mass portion is about to fall, the rotating portion tends to rotate in either one of the first rotation direction and the second rotation direction. That is, when both of the pair of mass parts are about to fall downward, the rotation of the rotating part 41 is canceled.

For this reason, even if the rotation of the rotating part becomes low (even if the centrifugal force is insufficient), the mass part is difficult to fall in the direction of gravity and is not easily affected by the rotation of the rotating part. Thus, compared with the prior art in which the mass portion can freely operate with respect to the rotating member, the dynamic vibration absorber can stably operate the mass portion.

(2) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. One end of the connecting portion is swingably attached to the rotating portion. The other end of the connecting portion is swingably attached to the mass portion.

In this case, the connecting portion is swung by the rotation of the rotating portion, and the mass portion is moved in the radial direction by the guide mechanism in conjunction with the swinging of the connecting portion. Thus, the rotational motion of the rotating portion can be changed to the linear motion of the mass portion by the connecting portion and the guide mechanism. Thereby, compared with the prior art in which a mass part can operate | move freely with respect to a rotating member, in this dynamic vibration absorber, a mass part can be operated stably.

(3) The dynamic vibration absorber for automobiles according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. Each of the plurality of mass parts is arranged around the rotation center. The angle formed by the line segment connecting the center of gravity of the adjacent mass portion and the rotation center around the rotation center is the same.

In this case, since the plurality of mass parts are evenly arranged around the center of rotation, the balance when the mass parts are moved can be appropriately maintained.

(4) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. The guide mechanism includes a main body portion that can rotate relative to the rotation portion, and a guide portion that guides the mass portion in the radial direction.

In this case, the main body portion of the guide mechanism operates as a float body with respect to the rotating portion, and the guide portion of the guide mechanism guides the mass portion in the radial direction. Thus, by operating the main body part independently of the rotation of the rotating part, even if the rotating part rotates, the mass part can be guided in the radial direction by the guide part.

(5) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. The guide part has a long hole part and a shaft member. The long hole portion is provided in one of the mass portion and the main body portion, and extends in a direction along a straight line passing through the center of gravity and the rotation center of the mass portion. The shaft member is disposed in the long hole portion and is fixed to either the mass portion or the guide portion.

In this case, when the rotating portion rotates, the mass portion moves in the radial direction via the connecting portion by the shaft member and the long hole portion of the guide mechanism. Thus, even if the rotating part rotates, the mass part can be operated linearly by the connecting part and the guide mechanism. Thereby, compared with the prior art in which a mass part can operate | move freely with respect to a rotating member, in this dynamic vibration absorber, a mass part can be operated stably.

(6) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. The mass portion is positioned by the connecting portion at a position where the center of gravity of the mass portion is farthest from the rotation center. The mass part is positioned by the guide mechanism at a position where the center of gravity of the mass part is closest to the center of rotation.

In this case, the moving range in which the mass portion moves in the radial direction is determined by the connecting portion and the guide mechanism. Thereby, the movement range of a mass part can be restrict | limited without preparing a special member.

(7) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. One end of the connecting portion is swingably attached to the rotating portion. The other end of the connecting portion is swingably attached to the mass portion. The mass portion is positioned at a position where the center of gravity of the mass portion is farthest from the rotation center by the length from the swing center of one end portion of the connecting portion to the swing center of the other end portion of the connecting portion.

In this case, by adjusting the length of the connecting portion, the position at which the mass portion is farthest from the rotation center can be set. That is, this position can be easily changed. That is, the moving range of the mass part can be easily adjusted.

(8) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. The guide mechanism has a main body portion and a positioning portion. The main body is rotatable relative to the rotating part. The positioning part is provided in the main body part. The positioning unit positions the mass unit at a position where the center of gravity of the mass unit is closest to the rotation center.

In this case, by adjusting the position and size of the positioning portion, the position where the mass portion is closest to the rotation center can be set. That is, this position can be easily changed. That is, the moving range of the mass part can be easily adjusted.

(9) The automobile dynamic vibration damping device according to another aspect of the present invention is preferably configured as follows. The guide mechanism has a main body portion and a storage portion. The main body is rotatable relative to the rotating part. The storage portion is provided in the main body portion and stores the connecting portion.

In this case, the dynamic vibration absorber can be downsized in the axial direction by storing the connecting portion in the storage portion of the guide mechanism.

In the dynamic vibration absorber for automobiles of the present invention, the mass part can be operated stably.

Specifically, the link member 91 is disposed in the storage hole 89 of the fourth main body portion of the guide mechanism 81, and can swing with respect to the rotating portion 41 and the inertia member 71 inside the storage hole 89. In addition, the axial thickness of the link member 91 is thinner than the axial thickness of the fourth main body portion 83 of the guide mechanism 81.

The link member 91 is formed in a plate shape that is long in one direction. An inner peripheral side end portion 92 (an example of one end portion of the connecting portion) of the link member 91 is swingably attached to the rotating portion 41 (the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 61). Specifically, the inner peripheral end 92 of the link member 91 is disposed between the first connecting portion 57 of the first rotating member 51 and the second connecting portion 67 of the second rotating member 61 in the axial direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a large-diameter cylindrical portion 59 b of the collar member 59 is arranged between the inner peripheral side end portion 92 of the link member 91 and the first connection portion 57 of the first rotating member 51. Is done. Furthermore, a fourth connection hole 92 a is provided at the inner peripheral side end 92 of the link member 91. The fourth connection hole 92 a engages with a connection member, for example, a collar member 59. The fourth connection hole 92 a is rotatable with respect to the collar member 59. Specifically, the small diameter cylindrical portion 59a of the collar member 59 is disposed in the fourth connection hole 92a, and the fourth connection hole 92a is rotatable with respect to the outer peripheral portion of the small diameter cylindrical portion 59a of the collar member 59. .

As shown in FIG. 2, a connecting member, for example, a shaft portion of a rivet 58 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of the collar member 59 (small diameter cylindrical portion 59a and large diameter cylindrical portion 59b). The flange portion of the rivet 58 is engaged with the lockup device 7 side of the first connection portion 57 of the first rotation member 51 and the turbine 13 side of the second connection portion 67 of the second rotation member 61. In this way, the link member 91 is in the inner peripheral side end portion 92 of the link member 91 with respect to the first rotating member 51 (first connecting portion 57) and the second rotating member 61 (second connecting portion 67). , Swingably mounted.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer peripheral side end portion 93 (an example of the other end portion of the connecting portion) of the link member 91 is swingably attached to the inertia member 71 (a pair of inertia members 71). Specifically, the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91 is disposed between the axial directions of the pair of inertia members 71.

As shown in FIG. 2, the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91 is provided with a fifth connection hole portion 93 a. The fifth connection hole 93 a engages with a connection member, for example, the collar member 60. The fifth connection hole 93 a is rotatable with respect to the collar member 60. A connecting member, for example, a shaft portion of the rivet 58 is disposed on the inner peripheral portion of the collar member 60. The flange portion of the rivet 58 is engaged with the lock-up device 7 side of one inertia member 71 and the turbine 13 side of the other inertia member 71. In this way, the link member 91 is swingably attached to the pair of inertia members 71 (the pair of third connection portions 75) at the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the link member 91 positions the inertia member 71. Specifically, the link member 91 positions the inertia member 71 at a position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is farthest from the rotation center O. When the two swing centers of the link member 91 are arranged on the first straight line C1 passing through the center of gravity G and the rotation center O of the inertia member 71, the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is separated from the rotation center O. It is arranged at the most distant position.

Specifically, the third straight line C3 passing through the center of the fourth connection hole 92a and the center of the fifth connection hole 93a in the link member 91 passes through the center of gravity G and the rotation center O of the inertia member 71. When arranged on one straight line C1, the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is arranged at a position farthest from the rotation center O. As a result, the inertia member 71 is positioned at a position farthest from the rotation center O.

Here, the position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is farthest from the rotation center O is from the swing center of the inner peripheral side end portion 92 of the link member 91 to the swing center of the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91. It is determined by the length L.

Note that, as described above, when the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is closest to the rotation center O, the inertia member 71 is in contact with the protruding portion 87. The position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is closest to the rotation center O corresponds to the position where the swing center of the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91 is closest to the rotation center O.

[Operation]
<Operation of torque converter body and lock-up device>
In the low engine speed range, the piston 31 moves to the transmission side due to the pressure difference between the hydraulic oils on both sides of the piston 31 in the axial direction. That is, the friction facing 32 is separated from the front cover 3 and the lock-up is released. When the lockup is released, torque from the front cover 3 is transmitted from the impeller 11 to the turbine 13 via hydraulic oil.

When the speed ratio of the torque converter 1 increases and the engine speed reaches a certain speed, the hydraulic oil on the engine side of the piston 31 is discharged. As a result, the piston 31 is moved to the front cover 3 side, and the friction facing 32 is pressed against the friction surface of the front cover 3. As a result, the torque of the front cover 3 is transmitted to the outer peripheral torsion spring 40a via the piston 31 and the drive plate 33.

Further, the torque transmitted to the outer periphery side torsion spring 40 a is transmitted to the inner periphery side torsion spring 40 b via the intermediate plate 34. The torque output from the inner peripheral side torsion spring 40 b is transmitted to the turbine hub 16 via the driven plate 39.

The two torsion springs 40 a on the outer peripheral side are connected by a float member 37. For this reason, these outer peripheral side torsion springs 40 a are operated in series by the float member 37.

Thus, the front cover 3 is mechanically connected to the turbine hub 16 by the operation of the lockup device 7. That is, the torque of the front cover 3 is directly output to the input shaft of the transmission via the turbine hub 16.

Here, when the engine torque fluctuates, the vibration is absorbed by the expansion and contraction of the torsion spring 40 (the outer peripheral side torsion spring 40a and the inner peripheral side torsion spring 40b) and the hysteresis torque of each part. In this way, the torque fluctuation is attenuated by the lockup device 7.

<Operation of dynamic vibration absorber>
The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is attached to the turbine hub 16. For this reason, when torque fluctuation is transmitted from the driven plate 39 of the lockup device 7 to the turbine hub 16, the dynamic vibration absorber 9 is activated by this torque fluctuation.

3, when torque fluctuation occurs in the turbine hub 16, the rotating part 41 (the first rotating member 51 and the second rotating member 61) rotates. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the link member 91 attached to the rotating portion 41 swings.

For example, in the state of FIG. 3, when the rotating part 41 rotates in the first rotation direction R1, the inner peripheral side end 92 of the link member 91 moves in the first rotation direction R1. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91 moves along the first straight line C1 in a direction approaching the second straight line C2. Then, by the movement of the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91, two sets of inertia members 71 (only one set of inertia members 71 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4) are guided by the guide mechanism 81, and the second straight line Move in a direction approaching C2.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, when the two sets of mass bodies come into contact with the two sets of protrusions 87, the movement of the two sets of mass bodies stops. The position where the two mass bodies stop moving is the position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is closest to the rotation center O.

Thus, when the rotating part 41 rotates in the first rotation direction R1 and the two sets of inertia members 71 move toward the second straight line C2, centrifugal force acts on the two sets of inertia members 71. ing. Here, the rotational force, which is a component of centrifugal force, is a force that resists the rotational force of the rotating part 41 due to torque fluctuation. When the rotational force, which is a component of centrifugal force, is greater than the rotational force of the rotating part 41 due to torque fluctuation, the rotating part 41 rotates in the second rotational direction R2.

In this case, the inner peripheral end 92 of the link member 91 moves in the second rotation direction R2. Then, the outer peripheral side end 93 of the link member 91 moves along the first straight line C1 in a direction away from the second straight line C2. Then, by the movement of the outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91, two sets of inertia members 71 (only the pair of inertia members 71 are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4) are guided by the guide mechanism 81, and the second straight line C2 Move away from.

Here, when the two swing centers of the link member 91 are arranged on the first straight line C1, the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is arranged at a position farthest from the rotation center O. In other words, this position is a position where the two inertia members 71 are farthest from the rotation center O.

In the state shown in FIG. 3, when the rotating part 41 rotates in the second rotating direction R2, the basic operation and action of the dynamic vibration absorber 9 is different from that of the dynamic vibration absorber 9 although the swinging direction of the link member 91 is different. This is the same as when rotating in the first rotation direction R1. For this reason, the description in the case where the rotating unit 41 rotates in the second rotation direction R2 is omitted here.

As described above, the two sets of inertia members 71 reciprocate with respect to the rotating portion 41. Further, when this reciprocating motion is performed, centrifugal force acts on the two sets of inertia members 71. The centrifugal force acting on the two sets of inertia members 71 causes the rotation unit 41 to rotate in the second rotation direction R2 (or when the rotation unit 41 rotates in the first rotation direction R1 (or the second rotation direction R2). It acts as a force for rotating in the first rotation direction R1). By the action of this centrifugal force, the rotational fluctuation of the rotating part 41, that is, the torque fluctuation of the turbine 13 hub is attenuated.

[Characteristic]
(1) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is for attenuating vibration transmitted from the engine to the transmission. The dynamic vibration absorber 9 includes a rotating portion 41, a pair of inertia members 71, a link member 91, and a guide mechanism 81.

The rotating part 41 can rotate around the rotation center O. Each of the pair of inertia members 71 can attenuate the vibration of the rotating portion 41 by moving relative to the rotating portion 41 when the rotating portion 41 rotates. The link member 91 connects the rotating part 41 and the inertia member 71. The guide mechanism 81 guides the inertia member 71 in the radial direction when the rotating unit 41 rotates.

In the dynamic vibration absorber 9, when the rotating portion 41 rotates around the rotation center O, the inertia member 71 connected to the rotating portion 41 by the link member 91 is guided in the radial direction by the guide mechanism 81. As a result, the inertia member 71 moves relative to the rotating portion 41 and attenuates the vibration of the rotating portion 41.

Thus, in the dynamic vibration absorber 9, the rotating portion 41 and each inertia member 71 are connected by the link member 91, and the movement of each inertia member 71 is restricted in the radial direction by the guide mechanism 81. That is, each inertia member 71 moves in a direction different from the rotation direction of the rotation unit 41, for example, in the slide direction SL while being supported by the rotation unit 41 by the link member 91.

Specifically, in the above-described embodiment, the pair of inertia members 71 are arranged at target positions with respect to the second straight line C2 passing through the rotation center O. Here, consider a case where one center of gravity of the pair of inertia members 71 is located above the second straight line C2, and the other center of gravity of the pair of inertia members 71 is located below the second straight line C2. In this state, when the rotation of the rotating unit 41 becomes low, each inertia member 71 moves downward (drops) due to gravity.

At this time, in a state where each inertia member 71 is connected to the rotation portion 41 by each link member 91, the rotation portion 41 is moved in the first rotation direction R1 and the second rotation direction R2 when one inertia member 71 is about to fall. Try to rotate to either one. On the other hand, when the other inertia member 71 is about to fall, the rotating portion 41 tries to rotate in either one of the first rotation direction R1 and the second rotation direction R2. That is, when both of the pair of inertia members 71 are about to fall, the rotation of the rotating portion 41 is canceled.

For this reason, even if the rotation part 41 becomes a low rotation (even if the centrifugal force is insufficient), the inertia member 71 is not easily dropped in the direction of gravity and is not easily affected by the rotation of the rotation part 41. Thus, compared with the prior art in which the inertia member 71 can freely operate with respect to the rotating member, the dynamic vibration absorber 9 can operate the inertia member 71 stably.

(2) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. An inner peripheral end 92 of the link member 91 is swingably attached to the rotating part 41. The outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91 is swingably attached to the inertia member 71.

In this case, the link member 91 is swung by the rotation of the rotating portion 41, and the inertia member 71 is moved in the radial direction by the guide mechanism 81 in conjunction with the swing of the link member 91. As described above, the rotational motion of the rotating portion 41 can be changed to the linear motion of the inertia member 71 by the link member 91 and the guide mechanism 81. Thereby, compared with the prior art in which the inertia member 71 can operate | move freely with respect to a rotation member, in this dynamic vibration absorber 9, the inertia member 71 can be operated stably.

(3) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. There are a plurality of inertia members 71. Each of the plurality of inertia members 71 is arranged around the rotation center O. The angle formed by the line segment A1 connecting the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 adjacent to the rotation center O and the rotation center O is the same.

In this case, since the plurality of inertia members 71 are evenly arranged around the rotation center O, the balance during the movement of the inertia member 71 can be appropriately maintained.

(4) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. The guide mechanism 81 includes a fourth main body portion 83 that can rotate relative to the rotating portion 41 and a guide portion 85 that guides the inertia member 71 in the radial direction.

In this case, the fourth main body portion 83 of the guide mechanism 81 operates as a float body with respect to the rotating portion 41, and the guide portion 85 of the guide mechanism 81 guides the inertia member 71 in the radial direction. As described above, by operating the fourth main body 83 independently of the rotation of the rotation unit 41, the inertia member 71 can be guided in the radial direction by the guide unit 85 even if the rotation unit 41 rotates. .

(5) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. The guide portion 85 has a long hole portion 85a and a shaft member 85b. The long hole portion 85a is provided in the fourth main body portion 83 of the guide mechanism 81 and extends in a direction along the first straight line C1 that passes through the center of gravity G and the rotation center O of the inertia member 71. The shaft member 85 b is disposed in the long hole portion 85 a and is fixed to the inertia member 71.

In this case, when the rotating portion 41 rotates, the inertia member 71 moves in the radial direction via the link member 91 by the shaft member 85b and the long hole portion 85a. Thus, even if the rotating part 41 rotates, the inertia member 71 can be linearly operated by the link member 91 and the guide mechanism 81. Thereby, compared with the prior art in which the inertia member 71 can operate | move freely with respect to a rotation member, in this dynamic vibration absorber 9, the inertia member 71 can be operated stably.

(6) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. The inertia member 71 is positioned by the link member 91 at a position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is farthest from the rotation center O. The inertia member 71 is positioned by the guide mechanism 81 at a position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is closest to the rotation center O.

In this case, the moving range in which the inertia member 71 moves in the radial direction is determined by the link member 91 and the guide mechanism 81. Thereby, the movement range of the inertia member 71 can be restrict | limited without preparing a special member.

(7) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. An inner peripheral end 92 of the link member 91 is swingably attached to the rotating part 41. The outer peripheral side end portion 93 of the link member 91 is swingably attached to the inertia member 71. Depending on the length from the swing center of the inner peripheral end 92 of the link member 91 to the swing center of the outer peripheral end 93 of the link member 91, the inertia member 71 has the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 at the rotation center O. Is positioned at a position farthest from the center.

In this case, the position where the inertia member 71 is farthest from the rotation center O can be set by adjusting the length of the link member 91. That is, this position can be easily changed. That is, the movement range of the inertia member 71 can be easily adjusted.

(8) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. The guide mechanism 81 has a fourth main body portion 83 and a protruding portion 87. The fourth main body portion 83 can rotate relative to the rotating portion 41. The protruding portion 87 is provided on the fourth main body portion 83. The protrusion 87 positions the inertia member 71 at a position where the center of gravity G of the inertia member 71 is closest to the rotation center O.

In this case, the position where the inertia member 71 is closest to the rotation center O can be set by adjusting the position and size of the protrusion 87. That is, this position can be easily changed. That is, the movement range of the inertia member 71 can be easily adjusted.

(9) The dynamic vibration absorber 9 is preferably configured as follows. The guide mechanism 81 has a fourth main body 83 and a storage hole 89. The fourth main body portion 83 can rotate relative to the rotating portion 41. The storage hole 89 is provided in the fourth main body 83 and stores the link member 91.

In this case, by storing the link member 91 in the storage hole 89 of the guide mechanism 81, the dynamic vibration absorber 9 can be downsized in the axial direction.
