Description

二輪自動車用潤滑油組成物Lubricating oil composition for motorcycle
 本発明は、二輪自動車用潤滑油組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a lubricating oil composition for two-wheeled vehicles.
 二輪自動車等のエンジン用潤滑油と動力伝達用潤滑油とを同一の油剤で潤滑するシステムに対しては、エンジン用潤滑油として要求される性能に加え、動力伝達用潤滑油としての性能も具備する必要がある。
 具体的には、エンジン用潤滑油には、耐摩耗性、清浄性、耐熱性、酸化安定性、オイル消費が少ないこと、低摩擦損失等の各特性が要求されている。一方、マニュアルトランスミッションを搭載した二輪自動車は走行中にユーザーが手足によりクラッチレバーやシフトペダルを操作し、ギアボックス内部のシフトドラム、シフトフォーク、シフターギア等の部品が動くことでシフトチェンジを行うが、使用する潤滑油によってこれらの部品の摩擦特性が変わり、その結果ユーザーが感じる感覚(シフトフィーリング)が異なる事がある。
In addition to the performance required as an engine lubricant, it also has performance as a power transmission lubricant for a system that lubricates the engine lubricating oil and the power transmission lubricating oil with the same oil. There is a need to.
Specifically, lubricating oils for engines are required to have properties such as wear resistance, cleanliness, heat resistance, oxidation stability, low oil consumption, and low friction loss. On the other hand, in a motorcycle equipped with a manual transmission, the user operates the clutch lever and shift pedal with his hands and feet while driving, and the shift drum, shift fork, shifter gear, and other parts inside the gearbox move to change gears. , the friction characteristics of these parts change depending on the lubricating oil used, and as a result, the feeling (shift feeling) that the user feels may differ.
 特許文献1には、エンジンシステムに対する要求性能とともに、湿式クラッチに対する高摩擦係数化に優れた潤滑油組成物として、イミド化合物、金属系清浄剤及びジチオリン酸亜鉛を含有する潤滑油組成物が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a lubricating oil composition containing an imide compound, a metallic detergent, and zinc dithiophosphate as a lubricating oil composition excellent in increasing the friction coefficient of a wet clutch as well as the performance required for an engine system. ing.

 しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の潤滑油組成物はクラッチ摩擦特性の観点から摩擦係数が高いものであるが、シフトフィーリングの観点では特定の条件における摩擦係数が低いことをも同時に実現する必要があり、さらなる改善が望まれている。
 ここで、例えばシフトアップする際には、まずユーザーはクラッチレバーを介してクラッチを切り、次いでシフトペダルを操作してギアボックス内部のシフトドラムを回転させるが、このシフトドラムの回転に伴い、シフトフォークを介してシフターギアが移動し、シフターギアとドッグ歯が噛み合う。そして、最後にユーザーがクラッチレバーを離してクラッチを締結させることでシフトアップが完了する。この一連の流れにおいてユーザーは、特にシフトペダルを操作する際に、ギアボックス内部の部品同士の摺動によるざらついた感覚を感じるとシフトフィーリングは悪いと感じ、そのような感覚が無く、スムーズに摺動する感覚を得るとシフトフィーリングは良好であると感じるものとされる。
However, although the lubricating oil composition described in Patent Document 1 has a high friction coefficient from the viewpoint of clutch friction characteristics, it is also necessary to achieve a low friction coefficient under specific conditions from the viewpoint of shift feeling. There is a need for further improvement.
Here, for example, when shifting up, the user first disengages the clutch via the clutch lever and then operates the shift pedal to rotate the shift drum inside the gearbox. The shifter gear moves through the fork and meshes with the dog teeth. Finally, the user releases the clutch lever and engages the clutch to complete the upshift. In this series of processes, especially when operating the shift pedal, the user feels that the shift feeling is bad if they feel the rough feeling caused by the sliding of the parts inside the gearbox. It is said that the shift feeling is good when the feeling of sliding is obtained.
 本発明は、上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであって、エンジン用潤滑油として要求される性能を満たし、湿式クラッチにおける高い摩擦係数を維持しつつも、シフトフィーリングが良好となる二輪自動車用潤滑油組成物を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a two-wheeled vehicle that satisfies the performance required as an engine lubricating oil, maintains a high friction coefficient in a wet clutch, and provides a good shift feeling.

A hot tube test was performed on the test oil (prepared lubricating oil composition) according to JPI-5S-55-99 at a test temperature of 290° C. for a test time of 16 hours.
After the test, the lacquer adhering to the test tube was evaluated according to JPI-5S-55-99 on a 21-point scale from 0 (black) to 10 (colorless).
A higher score indicates less deposits and better cleanliness.
In this example, lubricating oil compositions with a score of 8.0 or higher were considered acceptable.
[シフトフィーリング]
 被験者4名による走行試験を実施し、シフトペダル操作性について評点法による評価を行った。また、走行試験中の引っ掛かりの発生頻度を測定し、評価を行った。
(走行条件)
 一般コンクリート舗装道路を、30~60km/hの速度で走行し、その間にシフトポジションを段階的に変更した。エンジン回転数は4,000~6,500rpmとなるように設定した。
(評点)
 所定の基準油を基準の0.0点とし、シフトペダルの操作性が良好である場合にはプラス、シフトペダルの操作性が悪い場合にはマイナスとして、+2.0~-2.0の間の評点を付した。
[Shift feeling]
A running test was conducted by four test subjects, and shift pedal operability was evaluated by a scoring method. In addition, the frequency of occurrence of sticking during the running test was measured and evaluated.
(running conditions)
A general concrete paved road was run at a speed of 30 to 60 km/h, during which the shift position was changed in stages. The engine speed was set to 4,000 to 6,500 rpm.
(Rating)
With a predetermined reference oil as a reference point of 0.0, plus when the operability of the shift pedal is good, minus when the operability of the shift pedal is poor, between +2.0 and -2.0 was given a rating of

 実施例1及び2で調製した潤滑油組成物は、エンジン油潤滑油として要求される高温清浄性を満たし、かつ、湿式クラッチにおける高い摩擦係数を維持しつつも、シフトフィーリングが良好であった。
 これに対し、比較例1~4で調製した潤滑油組成物は、MTM試験機を用いて測定された金属間摩擦係数が高く、また被験者の評価によるシフトフィーリングが不十分なものであった。さらに、比較例1及び2で調製した潤滑油組成物は、クラッチ摩擦特性がMAであった。加えて、比較例1及び4で調製した潤滑油組成物は、ホットチューブ試験における評点が8.0未満であり、高温清浄性に劣るものであった。

 
The lubricating oil compositions prepared in Examples 1 and 2 satisfied the high-temperature detergency required as an engine oil lubricating oil, and maintained a high friction coefficient in a wet clutch, while providing good shift feeling. .
On the other hand, the lubricating oil compositions prepared in Comparative Examples 1 to 4 had a high metal-to-metal friction coefficient measured using an MTM tester, and the shift feeling evaluated by subjects was insufficient. . Furthermore, the lubricating oil compositions prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had MA clutch friction characteristics. In addition, the lubricating oil compositions prepared in Comparative Examples 1 and 4 scored less than 8.0 in the hot tube test, indicating poor high temperature detergency.
