- FIGS. 7 and 8 show an example in which the noise reduction sheet 9 is attached to the intermediate shaft member 73 of the drive shaft 7, the noise reduction sheet 9 can be attached to other locations as well.
- the noise reduction sheet 9 can be attached to the drive shaft 8 in the same manner.
- the noise reduction sheet 9 will also be referred to as the noise reduction sheet 9A and the noise reduction sheet 9B, if necessary.
- the noise reduction sheet 9A may be, for example, belt-shaped.
- the band-shaped noise reduction sheet 9A may be wound spirally around the surface of the intermediate shaft member 73 while shifting the phase.
- FIG. 7 shows an example in which the noise reduction sheet 9A is attached to the intermediate shaft member 73
- the belt-shaped noise reduction sheet 9A can also be wrapped around the universal joints 77 and 78, for example. Thereby, the noise reduction sheet 9A can be closely attached to the universal joints 77 and 78, which have many uneven surfaces.
- the noise reduction sheet 9B may have a rectangular shape, for example.
- the rectangular noise reduction sheet 9B is pasted so that its longitudinal direction is along the axis X1 direction of the intermediate shaft member 73, and one end 91 and the other end 92 in the transverse direction are in contact with each other on the surface of the intermediate shaft member 73. Can be done.
- the noise reduction sheet 9B may be attached so that the other end 92 overlaps one end 91.
- the intermediate shaft member 73 has relatively few surface irregularities and has a long axial length. Therefore, by using the rectangular noise reduction sheet 9B, the noise reduction sheet 9B can be efficiently attached. Similarly, the rectangular noise reduction sheet 9B can be efficiently attached to the drive wheel side shaft member 75 as well.
- the shape of the noise reduction sheet 9 and the location to which the noise reduction sheet 9 is attached are not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The shape of the noise reduction sheet 9 and the location where the noise reduction sheet 9 is attached can be changed as appropriate.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the propagation of noise in the power transmission device 1.
- noise is indicated by hatched arrows.
- the inverter 6 includes transistors that are switching elements. When the transistor is repeatedly turned on and off at high speed when controlling the motor 2, ringing, which is high frequency noise, occurs. This noise is propagated from the inverter 6, which is the source, to the power transmission path of the motor 2. That is, the noise is finally propagated to the drive shafts 7 and 8 via the motor 2, the motor shaft 21, the planetary reduction gear 4, and the differential mechanism 5.
- the drive shafts 7 and 8 act as antennas. Therefore, the noise propagated to the drive shafts 7 and 8 is radiated from the drive shafts 7 and 8 into the air. Noise radiated into the air may affect vehicle equipment such as an AM radio and wireless communication equipment mounted on the vehicle. In particular, since the second regions 7B and 8B (see FIGS. 2 and 3) of the drive shafts 7 and 8 are located outside the case 10, the radiated noise is likely to affect vehicle equipment. .
- the vehicle equipment is, for example, an electronic equipment included in a vehicle on which the power transmission device 1 is mounted.
- the ground connection body is, for example, a sliding brush that slides into contact with shaft elements (motor shaft 21, drive shafts 7, 8, etc.) on the power transmission path.
- the ground connection body is connected to the case 10, and the case 10 is connected to the vehicle body by a ground line.
- the ground connection body be provided at a location away from the inverter 6, which is a noise source.
- the second regions 7B, 8B of the drive shafts 7, 8 are away from the inverter 6, the intermediate shaft members 73, 83 and the driving wheel side shaft members 75, 85 swing. Therefore, it is difficult to provide the grounding body, which is a sliding brush, so as to be in constant contact with these members.
- the ground connection body needs to be installed in a dry environment, the second areas 7B and 8B located outside the case 10 may be exposed to muddy water, so the ground connection body must be installed in the second area 7B. , 8B, it is difficult to place the ground connection body in a dry environment.
- the ground connection body When the ground connection body is provided inside the case 10, the ground connection body is a thick component, and the layout within the case 10 is likely to be restricted. Further, oil for lubricating rotating parts is stored inside the case 10. In order to install the ground connection body in a dry environment, it is necessary to provide a separate chamber within the case 10 that is sealed to prevent oil from entering. However, providing a separate room within the case 10 may lead to an increase in the size of the case 10. Further, since the ground connection body needs to be brought into contact with a metal part, it may lead to an increase in the dimensions of the motor shaft 21 or the differential shaft member 71. In this way, the layout of the ground connection body is likely to be restricted, which may lead to an increase in the size of the power transmission device 1.
- the noise reduction sheet 9 is a thin member and can be provided in close contact with the surfaces of the drive shafts 7 and 8. Therefore, the noise reduction sheet 9 has fewer restrictions on layout, and is less likely to lead to an increase in the size of the power transmission device 1. Further, since the noise reduction sheet 9 does not need to be installed in a dry environment, it can be provided in the second regions 7B, 8B of the drive shafts 7, 8 located outside the case 10. Since the noise reduction sheet 9 can be attached with adhesive AH, it can also be provided on the swinging intermediate shaft member 73 and the driving wheel side shaft member 75. As described above, the drive shafts 7 and 8 act as antennas and radiate noise that affects vehicle equipment.
- the second regions 7B, 8B of the drive shafts 7, 8 are exposed to the outside of the case 10, noise emitted from the second regions 7B, 8B tends to affect vehicle equipment.
- the noise reduction sheet 9 By providing the noise reduction sheet 9 to cover the second regions 7B and 8B, it is possible to reduce noise that tends to affect vehicle equipment.
- the power transmission device 1 is: Motor 2 and an inverter 6 that drives the motor 2; a planetary reduction gear 4 and a differential mechanism 5 (gear device) connected to the downstream side of the motor 2; It has drive shafts 7 and 8 that transmit the power of the motor 2 transmitted from the planetary reduction gear 4 and the differential mechanism 5 to the drive wheels KA and KB.
- the drive shafts 7 and 8 have portions (second region 7B, second region 8B) covered with a noise reduction sheet 9 (noise reduction material).
- the power transmission device 1 includes a motor 2, a gear system, drive shafts 7 and 8, and drive wheels KA and KB along a power transmission path.
- the motor 2 is driven by an inverter 6.
- the power (rotational force) generated by the motor 2 is transmitted to drive wheels KA, KB via a gear system and drive shafts 7, 8.
- High frequency noise generated by the inverter 6 is propagated along the power transmission path of the motor 2 to the drive shafts 7 and 8.
- the propagated noise is finally radiated from the drive shafts 7, 8, which act as antennas. Noise radiated from the drive shafts 7 and 8 may affect vehicle equipment such as AM radio.
- the noise reduction material By providing the drive shafts 7 and 8 with a portion covered with a noise reduction material, the noise emitted from the drive shafts 7 and 8 can be reduced. Furthermore, by forming the noise reduction material into a sheet-like noise reduction sheet 9, it can be easily attached by winding it around the drive shafts 7 and 8. Further, the noise reduction sheet 9 requires less space for installation, and it is possible to reduce the increase in the size of the device. Further, since the noise reduction sheet 9 has fewer restrictions in the installation environment such as a dry environment, the degree of freedom in layout can be improved.
- the drive shaft of the power transmission device 1 includes a drive shaft 7 (first drive shaft) and a drive shaft 8 (second drive shaft). It is preferable that the noise reduction sheet 9 be provided on both the drive shaft 7 and the drive shaft 8.
- the power transmission device 1 includes two drive shafts 7 and 8 to transmit power to left and right drive wheels KA and KB, respectively.
- the two drive shafts 7, 8 each act as an antenna and radiate noise. Therefore, by providing the noise reduction sheet 9 on at least one, preferably both, of the two drive shafts 7 and 8, the noise reduction effect (the effect of reducing emitted noise) can be improved.
- the power transmission device 1 has a case 10 that houses the planetary reduction gear 4 and the differential mechanism 5 (gear device).
- the drive shafts 7, 8 have first regions 7A, 8A that connect to the differential mechanism 5 of the gearing inside the case 10.
- the first regions 7A, 8A have differential shaft members 71, 81.
- the drive shafts 7, 8 have second regions 7B, 8B connected to the drive wheels KA, KB outside the case 10.
- the second region 7B includes an intermediate shaft member 73, a drive wheel side shaft member 75, and universal joints 77 and 78.
- the second region 8B includes an intermediate shaft member 83, a drive wheel side shaft member 85, and universal joints 87 and 88.
- the second regions 7B, 8B of the drive shafts 7, 8 can be provided with portions covered with the noise reduction sheet 9.
- the noise propagated to the drive shafts 7, 8 is transmitted to the second regions 7B, 8B exposed to the outside.
- the energy is likely to be radiated from the portion toward the outside of the power transmission device 1.

- the noise reduction sheet 9 does not need to be used in a dry environment.
- the noise reduction sheet 9 is provided in the second regions 7B and 8B which are not necessarily in a dry environment, the noise reduction effect can be exhibited. Furthermore, since the noise reduction sheet 9 is in the form of a sheet, it can be provided by being wrapped around the surfaces of the drive shafts 7 and 8. Therefore, for example, the intermediate shaft members 73 and 83 in the second regions 7B and 8B are members that swing when the vehicle is running; The noise reduction sheet 9 can also be provided on the connecting members to the shaft members 73, 83, etc. Since the noise reduction sheet 9 has a high degree of freedom in installation, it can be easily installed at a location where the noise reduction effect is desired. Although an example has been described in which the entire second regions 7B and 8B are covered with the noise reduction sheet 9, a portion covered with the noise reduction sheet 9 may be provided in a part of the second regions 7B and 8B.

図面上において複数の要素(部品、部分等)が所定方向に並んでいることが図示されている場合は、明細書の説明において、所定方向から見てオーバーラップしていることを説明した文章があるとみなして良い。
図面上において複数の要素(部品、部分等)が所定方向に並んでいないことが図示されている場合は、明細書の説明において、所定方向から見てオーバーラップしていないことを説明した文章があるとみなして良い。
例えば、第2要素と第1要素と第3要素とが、この順で軸方向に沿って並んでいる場合は、径方向から見て、第1要素は第2要素と第3要素との間に位置しているといえる。図面上において、所定方向から見て第1要素が第2要素と第3要素との間にあることが図示されている場合は、明細書の説明において所定方向から見て第1要素が第2要素と第3要素との間にあることを説明した文章があるとみなして良い。
図1に示すように、動力伝達装置1は、モータ2と、動力伝達機構3と、インバータ6と、を有する。モータ2はインバータ6によって駆動される。モータ2の回転軸X回りの回転によって生じる動力は、動力伝達機構3を介して車両の駆動輪KA、KBに伝達される。モータ2は、電動機機能と発電機機能のうちの少なくとも一方の機能を有する回転電機である。

ドライブシャフト7、8は、ケース10の内部において差動機構5にそれぞれ接続する。ドライブシャフト7、8は、ケース10の外部において車両の左右の駆動輪KA、KBにそれぞれ接続する。モータ2の出力回転は、最終的に、ドライブシャフト7、8を介して駆動輪KA、KBに伝達される。
図1および図2に示すように、ドライブシャフト7は、デフ側シャフト部材71と、中間シャフト部材73と、駆動輪側シャフト部材75と、を有する。
デフ側シャフト部材71は、ドライブシャフト7の第1の領域7Aとして、ケース10の内部に位置する。
駆動輪側シャフト部材75は、駆動輪KAに回転伝達可能に接続する。中間シャフト部材73は、デフ側シャフト部材71と駆動輪側シャフト部材75の間に設けられている。中間シャフト部材73は、自在継手77、78を介して、デフ側シャフト部材71と駆動輪側シャフト部材75のそれぞれに、回転伝達可能に接続する。
中間シャフト部材73、駆動輪側シャフト部材75および自在継手77、78は、ドライブシャフト7の第2の領域7Bとして、ケース10の外部に位置する。
駆動輪側シャフト部材75の回転軸X方向における一端75aは、自在継手78に、中間シャフト部材73の反対側から接続する。駆動輪側シャフト部材75の回転軸X方向における他端75bは、駆動輪KAに接続する。
図1および図3に示すように、ドライブシャフト8は、デフ側シャフト部材81と、中間シャフト部材83と、駆動輪側シャフト部材85と、を有する。
図1に示すように、デフ側シャフト部材81は、ドライブシャフト8の第1の領域8Aとして、ケース10の内部に位置する。
駆動輪側シャフト部材85は、駆動輪KBに接続する。中間シャフト部材83は、デフ側シャフト部材81と駆動輪側シャフト部材85の間に設けられている。中間シャフト部材83は、自在継手87、88を介して、デフ側シャフト部材81と駆動輪側シャフト部材85のそれぞれに接続する。
中間シャフト部材83、駆動輪側シャフト部材85および自在継手87、88は、ドライブシャフト8の第2の領域8Bとして、ケース10の外部に位置する。
駆動輪側シャフト部材85の回転軸X方向における一端85aは、自在継手88に、中間シャフト部材83の反対側から接続する。駆動輪側シャフト部材85の回転軸X方向における他端85bは、駆動輪KBに接続する。
図5は、ノイズ低減シートが設けられたドライブシャフト8を示す図である。
図6は、図4のA-A断面図である。
図4~図6では、わかりやすくするためにノイズ低減シート9を、クロスハッチングで示している。また、図6は、わかりやすくするためにノイズ低減シート9と接着剤AHの厚みを誇張して示している。
図4および図5に示すように、ドライブシャフト7、8は、ノイズ低減シート9(ノイズ低減材)に被覆されている部分を有する。言い換えると、ドライブシャフト7、8は、それぞれの軸線の径方向から見て、ノイズ低減シート9にオーバーラップする部分を有する。
図4に示すように、ドライブシャフト7の第2の領域7Bが、ノイズ低減シート9で覆われている。具体的には、中間シャフト部材73、駆動輪側シャフト部材75および自在継手77、78の表面がノイズ低減シート9で覆われている。
前記したように、ドライブシャフト7、8の第2の領域7B、8Bは、ケース10(図1参照)の外部に位置する領域である。
ノイズ低減シート9は、たとえば、磁性体、導電性材料等を含有する樹脂膜またはフィルム等である。導電性材料は、たとえば、金属、カーボン、黒鉛等である。ノイズ低減シート9は、織物、編物、不織布等の繊維に導電性材料をコーティングしたものや、前記した各種の繊維に、磁性体や導電性材料を担持させたものでも良い。
図6は、中間シャフト部材73を図示しているが、駆動輪側シャフト部材75および自在継手77、78にも同様に、接着剤AHを用いてノイズ低減シート9を貼り付けることができる。また、図示は省略するが、ドライブシャフト8にも同様に、接着剤AHを用いてノイズ低減シート9を貼り付けることができる。
図8は、ノイズ低減シートの貼り付けの別の例を示す図である。
図7、図8は、ドライブシャフト7の第2の領域7Bのみを図示し、接着剤の図示は省略している。図7、図8は、ドライブシャフト7の中間シャフト部材73にノイズ低減シート9を貼り付ける例を示しているが、他の箇所にも同様に貼り付けることができる。ドライブシャフト8にも同様にノイズ低減シート9を貼り付けることができる。
以下の説明においては、必要に応じて、ノイズ低減シート9を、ノイズ低減シート9A、ノイズ低減シート9Bとも表記する。
ノイズ低減シート9の形状と、ノイズ低減シート9を貼り付ける箇所は、図7および図8の例に限定されない。ノイズ低減シート9の形状と、ノイズ低減シート9を貼り付ける箇所は、適宜変更可能である。
前記したように、インバータ6はスイッチ素子であるトランジスタを有する。モータ2の制御に際してトランジスタが高速でオンおよびオフを繰り返すと、高周波ノイズであるリンギングが発生する。このノイズが、発生源であるインバータ6からモータ2の動力伝達経路に伝搬される。すなわち、ノイズは、モータ2、モータシャフト21、遊星減速ギア4、差動機構5を介して、最終的にドライブシャフト7、8に伝搬される。
前記したように、ドライブシャフト7、8がアンテナとして作用し、ノイズを放射することで車両機器に影響を与える。さらに、ドライブシャフト7、8の第2の領域7B、8Bはケース10の外部に露出しているため、第2の領域7B、8Bから放射されるノイズは、車両機器に影響を与えやすい。この第2の領域7B、8Bを覆うようにノイズ低減シート9を設けることで、車両機器に影響を与えやすいノイズを低減することができる。
(1)動力伝達装置1(装置)は、
モータ2と、
モータ2を駆動するインバータ6と、
モータ2の下流側に接続された遊星減速ギア4および差動機構5(歯車装置)と、
遊星減速ギア4および差動機構5から伝達されたモータ2の動力を駆動輪KA、KBに伝達するドライブシャフト7、8と、を有する。
ドライブシャフト7、8は、ノイズ低減シート9(ノイズ低減材)に被覆されている部分(第2の領域7B、第2の領域8B)を有する。
動力伝達装置1は、動力伝達経路に沿って、モータ2、歯車装置、ドライブシャフト7、8および駆動輪KA、KBが設けられている。モータ2はインバータ6によって駆動される。モータ2で発生する動力(回転力)は、歯車装置およびドライブシャフト7、8を経由して、駆動輪KA、KBに伝達される。
インバータ6で発生する高周波のノイズが、モータ2の動力伝達経路に沿ってドライブシャフト7、8まで伝搬される。伝搬されたノイズは、最終的にアンテナとして作用するドライブシャフト7、8から放射される。ドライブシャフト7、8から放射されたノイズは、AMラジオ等の車両機器に影響を与える可能性がある。
ノイズ低減シート9は、ドライブシャフト7とドライブシャフト8の両方に設けることが好ましい。
ドライブシャフト7、8は、ケース10の内部において歯車装置の差動機構5に接続する第1の領域7A、8Aを有する。第1の領域7A、8Aは、デフ側シャフト部材71、81を有する。
ドライブシャフト7、8は、ケース10の外部において駆動輪KA、KBに接続する第2の領域7B、8Bを有する。
第2の領域7Bは、中間シャフト部材73、駆動輪側シャフト部材75および自在継手77、78を有する。第2の領域8Bは、中間シャフト部材83、駆動輪側シャフト部材85および自在継手87、88を有する。
ドライブシャフト7、8の第2の領域7B、8Bに、ノイズ低減シート9に被覆されている部分を設けることができる。
また、ドライブシャフト7、8の第2の領域7B、8Bはケース10の外部に位置するため、泥水等がかかる可能性がある。ノイズ低減シート9はドライ環境下での使用を必要としない。そのため、ノイズ低減シート9を、必ずしもドライ環境下にならない第2の領域7B、8Bに設けても、ノイズ低減効果を発揮させることができる。
さらに、ノイズ低減シート9は、シート状であるため、ドライブシャフト7、8の表面に巻き付けて設けることができる。そのため、例えば第2の領域7B、8Bの中間シャフト部材73、83は、車両の走行時に揺動する部材であるが、このような揺動する部材である中間シャフト部材73、83と、この中間シャフト部材73、83との接続部材等にも、ノイズ低減シート9を設けることができる。ノイズ低減シート9は、設置の自由度が高いので、ノイズ低減効果を発揮したい箇所に簡便に設けることができる。
なお、第2の領域7B、8B全体が、ノイズ低減シート9に被覆されている例を説明したが、第2の領域7B、8Bの一部に、ノイズ低減シート9で被覆される部分を設けても良い。
