- Clutch outer 230 has a cylindrical surface 231 that contacts clutch shoe 221 of clutch weight 220.
- the centrifugal clutch 200 interrupts transmission of driving force between the engine and the drive shaft 146 when the engine is stopped or idling, as shown in FIG.
- the fixed side driven pulley 140 and the movable side driven pulley 150 are rotationally driven by the rotational driving force of the engine transmitted via the V-belt 120.

- the clutch weight 220 provided on the drive plate 210 is rotated at the same rotation speed as the drive plate 210.
- the centrifugal force acting on the clutch weight 220 is smaller than the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223, so the clutch shoe 221 does not contact the cylindrical surface 231 of the clutch outer 230. Therefore, in the centrifugal clutch 200, the rotational driving force of the engine is not transmitted to the drive shaft 146, and the clutch is in an off state.
- the movable driven pulley 150 In the clutch-off state, the movable driven pulley 150 is pushed by the elastic force of the torque spring 170 and the cam thrust to a position closest to the stationary driven pulley 140 or a position in the vicinity thereof. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the movable cam portion 153 has entered deeply into the through hole 143, the first movable sliding surface 153MA is connected to the fixed contact surface 144MA via the intervening member 161. The rotational driving force is transmitted to the stationary driven pulley 140.

- the intervening member 161 is placed between the movable cam portion 153 and the fixed cam portion 144. Therefore, the pressing force from the movable cam portion 153 is transmitted in the thickness direction of the intervening member 161 and then to the fixed cam portion 144. That is, since a large torsional stress is not applied to the intervening member 161 when the pressing force from the movable cam part 153 is transmitted to the fixed cam part 144, it is not necessary to have high torsional rigidity.
- the centrifugal clutch 200 transmits the rotational driving force of the engine to the drive shaft 146.
- the centrifugal force acting on the clutch weight 220 becomes larger than the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223.
- the clutch weight 220 is rotationally displaced radially outward about the swing support pin 213. That is, the clutch weight 220 is rotationally displaced toward the cylindrical surface 231 of the clutch outer 230 while resisting the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223, and the clutch shoe 221 comes into contact with the cylindrical surface 231.
- the clutch shoe 221 is then pressed against the cylindrical surface 231.

- the driven pulley 131 moves in a direction (in which the movable driven pulley 150 moves away from the fixed driven pulley 140 against the elastic force of the torque spring 170 and the cam thrust as the engine speed increases). That is, it moves in the direction D1). That is, the movable cam portion 153 of the movable driven pulley 150 slides in a direction away from the fixed cam portion 144 of the fixed driven pulley 140.

- the movable side cam portion 153 of the movable side driven pulley 150 is exposed on the V-belt 120 side (see FIG. 2). Thereby, the heat generated in the bearings 147a, 147b can be released to the outside through the space around the exposed movable cam portion 153.
- the pressing force from the movable cam portion 153 is transmitted in the thickness direction of the intervening member 161 to the fixed-side cam portion 144, as in the clutch-off state. That is, since a large torsional stress is not applied to the intervening member 161 when the pressing force from the movable cam part 153 is transmitted to the fixed cam part 144, it is not necessary to have high torsional rigidity.
- the centrifugal clutch 200 cuts off the transmission of the rotational driving force of the engine to the drive shaft 146. Specifically, as the engine speed decreases, the centrifugal force acting on the clutch weight 220 becomes smaller than the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223, and the clutch weight 220 expands in diameter around the swing support pin 213. rotational displacement toward the inside of the direction.
- the clutch shoe 221 separates from the cylindrical surface 231 of the clutch outer 230 and returns to its original position (the above-mentioned idling position). That is, the centrifugal clutch 200 is in a clutch-off state in which the clutch shoe 221 does not contact the clutch outer 230 and does not transmit rotational driving force.
- the movable driven pulley 150 moves in the direction closer to the fixed driven pulley 140 (that is, the direction D2) due to the elastic force of the torque spring 170 and the cam thrust.
- the amount of exposure of the movable cam portion 153 of the movable driven pulley 150 to the V-belt 120 side is reduced, and the amount of fitting (insertion amount) with the fixed cam portion 144 is increased.

That is, the durability of the stationary cam portion 144 and the intervening member 161 is improved.

The fixed sleeve 142 is a member that rotates integrally with the fixed pulley 141. The fixed sleeve 142 is formed into a cylindrical shape. One end of the stationary sleeve 142 (the right end in FIGS. 1 and 2) is connected to the stationary pulley 141 via a stationary cam portion 144. The other end of the stationary sleeve 142 (the left end in FIGS. 1 and 2) is connected to the drive plate 210 of the centrifugal clutch 200 via a connector 148. The connector 148 has a plurality of through holes formed in its outer peripheral portion, and is cast into the stationary sleeve 142 when the stationary driven pulley 140 is die-cast. As shown in FIG. 3, an escape groove 143A is formed in one end of the stationary sleeve 142 and is concave toward the inside in the radial direction and is spaced apart from the intervening member 161. The escape groove 143A is formed with a depth and a width such that the intervening member 161 does not come into contact with it.
図3に示すように、固定側カム部144は、径方向に関して固定側スリーブ142と固定側プーリ141との間に位置する。ここでは、3つの固定側カム部144が回転方向Lに等間隔で並ぶ。固定側カム部144は、介在部材161を介して可動側カム部153(図4参照)が摺動する部分である。固定側カム部144は、介在部材161または可動側カム部153が接触する固定側接触面144Mを有している。固定側接触面144Mは、固定側カム部144の回転方向Lの一方の端部に形成された固定側当接面144MAと、固定側カム部144の回転方向Lの他方の端部に形成された固定側摺動面144MBと、を含む。固定側当接面144MAは、介在部材161よりも回転方向Lの下流側に位置する。固定側摺動面144MBは、介在部材161よりも回転方向Lの上流側に位置する。固定側摺動面144MBは、可動側カム部153が摺動可能な面である。固定側当接面144MAおよび固定側摺動面144MBは、回転方向Lに捩じれながら軸方向に延びるらせん状の曲面である。固定側当接面144MAは、エンジンからの回転駆動力を介在部材161を介して可動側カム部153から受けるカム面である。固定側摺動面144MBは、駆動輪側からのバックトルクを可動側カム部153に与えるカム面である。固定側カム部144の一部は、貫通孔143よりも可動側プーリ151側(第1の方向D1側)に位置する。
As shown in FIG. 3, the fixed cam portion 144 is located between the fixed sleeve 142 and the fixed pulley 141 in the radial direction. Here, three fixed side cam parts 144 are lined up at equal intervals in the rotation direction L. The fixed cam portion 144 is a portion on which the movable cam portion 153 (see FIG. 4) slides via the intervening member 161. The fixed cam portion 144 has a fixed contact surface 144M with which the intervening member 161 or the movable cam portion 153 comes into contact. The fixed side contact surface 144M is formed at the fixed side contact surface 144MA formed at one end of the fixed side cam part 144 in the rotation direction L, and at the other end of the fixed side cam part 144 in the rotation direction L. and a fixed side sliding surface 144MB. The fixed side contact surface 144MA is located on the downstream side of the intervening member 161 in the rotation direction L. Fixed side sliding surface 144MB is located upstream of intervening member 161 in rotation direction L. The fixed-side sliding surface 144MB is a surface on which the movable-side cam portion 153 can slide. The fixed side contact surface 144MA and the fixed side sliding surface 144MB are spiral curved surfaces that extend in the axial direction while being twisted in the rotation direction L. The fixed side contact surface 144MA is a cam surface that receives rotational driving force from the engine from the movable cam portion 153 via the intervening member 161. The fixed side sliding surface 144MB is a cam surface that applies back torque from the driving wheel side to the movable side cam portion 153. A portion of the fixed cam portion 144 is located closer to the movable pulley 151 (on the first direction D1 side) than the through hole 143 is.
図3および図4に示すように、貫通孔143は、固定側ドリブンプーリ140において回転方向Lに関して隣り合う固定側カム部144の間に形成されている。ここでは、3つの貫通孔143が回転方向Lに等間隔に並ぶ。貫通孔143は、長孔状に形成されている。貫通孔143には、介在部材161および後述する可動側カム部153が挿入される。
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the through-hole 143 is formed between the fixed-side cam parts 144 adjacent to each other in the rotation direction L in the fixed-side driven pulley 140. Here, three through holes 143 are arranged at equal intervals in the rotation direction L. The through hole 143 is formed in a long hole shape. An intervening member 161 and a movable cam portion 153, which will be described later, are inserted into the through hole 143.
図5に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ140は、貫通孔143の一部を区画する壁部145を備えている。壁部145は、固定側カム部144の一部である。壁部145は、抑制部材の一例である。図6および図7に示すように、壁部145は、介在部材161よりも径方向の外側に位置する。壁部145は、固定側当接面144MAに連続する。壁部145は、固定側当接面144MAよりも径方向の外側に位置する。壁部145は、固定側当接面144MAに沿って形成されている。壁部145は、介在部材161に接触(ここでは面接触)している。なお、壁部145と介在部材161との間にはわずかな隙間が空いていてもよい。壁部145は、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形を抑制する。即ち、固定側ドリブンプーリ140が回転方向Lに回転するとき、介在部材161に作用する遠心力によって介在部材161は径方向の外側に広がろうとするが、介在部材161の径方向の外側には壁部145が配置されているため、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形は抑制される。
As shown in FIG. 5, the stationary driven pulley 140 includes a wall portion 145 that partitions a portion of the through hole 143. The wall portion 145 is a part of the fixed cam portion 144. The wall portion 145 is an example of a suppressing member. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the wall portion 145 is located on the outer side of the intervening member 161 in the radial direction. The wall portion 145 is continuous with the fixed side contact surface 144MA. The wall portion 145 is located on the outer side in the radial direction than the fixed side contact surface 144MA. The wall portion 145 is formed along the fixed side contact surface 144MA. The wall portion 145 is in contact with the intervening member 161 (here, surface contact). Note that there may be a slight gap between the wall portion 145 and the intervening member 161. The wall portion 145 suppresses radially outward deformation of the intervening member 161. That is, when the stationary driven pulley 140 rotates in the rotation direction L, the centrifugal force acting on the intervening member 161 causes the intervening member 161 to spread outward in the radial direction; Since the wall portion 145 is disposed, radially outward deformation of the intervening member 161 is suppressed.
図2に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ140の固定側スリーブ142内には、ドライブシャフト146が配置されている。ドライブシャフト146は、動力伝達機構100が搭載される自動二輪車両の後輪をトランスミッションを介して駆動するための軸である。自動二輪車両の後輪は、ドライブシャフト146の一方(図2の右側)の端部(図示せず)に間接的に取り付けられている。

As shown in FIG. 2, the centrifugal clutch 200 is a device that transmits or interrupts the rotational driving force of the engine transmitted via the transmission 101 to the drive shaft 146. The centrifugal clutch 200 interrupts transmission of rotational driving force to the drive shaft 146 until the engine reaches a predetermined rotational speed, and transmits the rotational driving force to the drive shaft 146 when the engine reaches a predetermined rotational speed. It is a device that transmits information to The centrifugal clutch 200 is provided at the distal end of the stationary sleeve 142 and the drive shaft 146.

The swing support pin 213 rotatably supports one end of a clutch weight 220, which will be described later, and swings the other end. The swing support pin 213 is fixed to the collar portion 212 by a caulking portion 213a. The swing support pin 213 passes through the pin sliding hole 222 of the clutch weight 220. The swing support pin 213 and a side plate 214 attached to the tip of the swing support pin 213 support the clutch weight 220 in a sandwiched state. The side plate 214 prevents the clutch weight 220 from coming off the swing support pin 213 by a circlip (not shown).

The weight pressing body support section 215 rotatably supports the weight pressing body 216. The weight pressing member support portion 215 is formed to protrude from the collar portion 212 in a pin shape. The weight pressing body 216 has a function of controlling the timing of swinging of the clutch weight 220. The weight pressing body 216 has a function of reducing the pounding noise generated when the clutch shoe 221 contacts the clutch outer 230.
クラッチウエイト220は、ドライブプレート210の回転数に応じて、クラッチシュー221を介してクラッチアウタ230に接触または離隔する。これにより、エンジンからの回転駆動力をドライブシャフト146に伝達または遮断する。
The clutch weight 220 contacts or separates from the clutch outer 230 via the clutch shoe 221 depending on the rotation speed of the drive plate 210. This transmits or blocks the rotational driving force from the engine to the drive shaft 146.
クラッチシュー221は、クラッチアウタ230の内周面に対する摩擦力を増大させる
ための部材である。クラッチシュー221は、摩擦材から形成されている。クラッチシュー221は、クラッチウエイト220の外周面に張り付けられている。 Theclutch shoe 221 is a member for increasing the frictional force against the inner peripheral surface of the clutch outer 230. Clutch shoe 221 is made of a friction material. The clutch shoe 221 is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the clutch weight 220.
ための部材である。クラッチシュー221は、摩擦材から形成されている。クラッチシュー221は、クラッチウエイト220の外周面に張り付けられている。 The
隣接するクラッチウエイト220は、連結スプリング223によって連結され、ドライブプレート210の径方向の内側に向かって引っ張られている。すなわち、クラッチウエイト220は、クラッチシュー221が設けられた部分がクラッチアウタ230に対して揺動するように、揺動支持ピン213およびピン摺動孔222を介してドライブプレート210上に支持されている。
Adjacent clutch weights 220 are connected by a connection spring 223 and pulled toward the inside of the drive plate 210 in the radial direction. That is, the clutch weight 220 is supported on the drive plate 210 via the swing support pin 213 and the pin sliding hole 222 so that the portion where the clutch shoe 221 is provided swings relative to the clutch outer 230. There is.
連結スプリング223は、クラッチウエイト220をクラッチアウタ230に対して離隔する方向に引っ張る部材である。連結スプリング223は、ドライブプレート210の回転方向Lに沿って互いに隣接し合うクラッチウエイト220間にそれぞれ設けられている。
The connection spring 223 is a member that pulls the clutch weight 220 in a direction away from the clutch outer 230. The connection springs 223 are provided between the clutch weights 220 adjacent to each other along the rotation direction L of the drive plate 210.

A pressing body accommodating portion 224 is formed on the inner surface of each clutch weight 220 facing the drive plate 210. The pressing body accommodating portion 224 accommodates the weight pressing body 216. A pressing body receiving portion 224a against which the weight pressing body 216 is pressed is formed in the pressing body accommodating portion 224. The pressing body receiving portion 224a is formed by cutting out a concave shape on the inner surface of the clutch weight 220.
押圧体受け部224aは、ウエイト押圧体216に押し付けられることでクラッチウエイト220がクラッチアウタ230側に変位する際の抵抗力を発生させるための部分である。
The pressing body receiving portion 224a is a portion that generates a resistance force when the clutch weight 220 is displaced toward the clutch outer 230 side by being pressed against the weight pressing body 216.
クラッチアウタ230は、ドライブシャフト146と一体的に回転駆動する。クラッチアウタ230は、ドライブプレート210およびクラッチウエイト220を覆うカップ状に形成されている。クラッチアウタ230は、クラッチウエイト220のクラッチシュー221に接触する円筒面231を有している。
The clutch outer 230 is rotationally driven integrally with the drive shaft 146. Clutch outer 230 is formed into a cup shape that covers drive plate 210 and clutch weight 220. Clutch outer 230 has a cylindrical surface 231 that contacts clutch shoe 221 of clutch weight 220.
次に、プーリ装置130および遠心クラッチ200の作動について説明する。遠心クラッチ200は、エンジンが停止状態またはアイドリング状態では、図1に示すように、エンジンとドライブシャフト146との間の駆動力の伝達を遮断する。
Next, the operation of the pulley device 130 and the centrifugal clutch 200 will be explained. The centrifugal clutch 200 interrupts transmission of driving force between the engine and the drive shaft 146 when the engine is stopped or idling, as shown in FIG.
ここで、Vベルト120を介して伝達されたエンジンの回転駆動力により固定側ドリブンプーリ140および可動側ドリブンプーリ150が回転駆動する。このとき、可動側カム部153が介在部材161を介して固定側カム部144を押圧する。これにより、ドライブプレート210は、固定側ドリブンプーリ140および可動側ドリブンプーリ150と同じ回転数で回転駆動する。ドライブプレート210に設けられたクラッチウエイト220は、ドライブプレート210と同じ回転数で回転駆動する。
Here, the fixed side driven pulley 140 and the movable side driven pulley 150 are rotationally driven by the rotational driving force of the engine transmitted via the V-belt 120. At this time, the movable cam portion 153 presses the fixed cam portion 144 via the intervening member 161. As a result, the drive plate 210 is driven to rotate at the same rotational speed as the fixed driven pulley 140 and the movable driven pulley 150. The clutch weight 220 provided on the drive plate 210 is rotated at the same rotation speed as the drive plate 210.
ところが、エンジンがアイドリング状態では、クラッチウエイト220に作用する遠心力が連結スプリング223の弾性力(引張力)よりも小さいため、クラッチシュー221がクラッチアウタ230の円筒面231に接触しない。したがって、遠心クラッチ200において、エンジンの回転駆動力がドライブシャフト146に伝達されることはなく、クラッチオフの状態となっている。
However, when the engine is idling, the centrifugal force acting on the clutch weight 220 is smaller than the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223, so the clutch shoe 221 does not contact the cylindrical surface 231 of the clutch outer 230. Therefore, in the centrifugal clutch 200, the rotational driving force of the engine is not transmitted to the drive shaft 146, and the clutch is in an off state.
クラッチオフの状態において、可動側ドリブンプーリ150は、トルクスプリング170の弾性力およびカム推力によって固定側ドリブンプーリ140に最も接近する位置またはその近傍の位置に押圧されている。このため、図9Aに示すように、可動側カム部153が貫通孔143内に奥深くまで進入した状態で第1可動側摺動面153MAが固定側当接面144MAに対して介在部材161を介して密着し、回転駆動力を固定側ドリブンプーリ140に伝達する。
In the clutch-off state, the movable driven pulley 150 is pushed by the elastic force of the torque spring 170 and the cam thrust to a position closest to the stationary driven pulley 140 or a position in the vicinity thereof. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the movable cam portion 153 has entered deeply into the through hole 143, the first movable sliding surface 153MA is connected to the fixed contact surface 144MA via the intervening member 161. The rotational driving force is transmitted to the stationary driven pulley 140.
この場合、介在部材161を介した第1可動側摺動面153MAと固定側当接面144MAとの接触面積は、最大または最大に近い値となる。これにより、可動側ドリブンプーリ150は、エンジンのアイドリングなどの回転数が不安定になりがちな低回転時においても、安定的に回転駆動力を固定側ドリブンプーリ140に伝達することができる。
In this case, the contact area between the first movable sliding surface 153MA and the fixed contact surface 144MA via the intervening member 161 has a maximum value or a value close to the maximum value. As a result, the movable driven pulley 150 can stably transmit rotational driving force to the stationary driven pulley 140 even at low engine speeds where the engine speed tends to be unstable, such as when the engine is idling.
また、この場合、介在部材161は、可動側カム部153と固定側カム部144とに挟まれた状態で配置されている。従って、可動側カム部153からの押圧力は、介在部材161の厚さ方向に伝達されて固定側カム部144に伝達される。すなわち、介在部材161には、可動側カム部153からの押圧力が固定側カム部144に伝達される際に、大きなねじり応力が掛かることがないため、高いねじり剛性を備える必要はない。
Furthermore, in this case, the intervening member 161 is placed between the movable cam portion 153 and the fixed cam portion 144. Therefore, the pressing force from the movable cam portion 153 is transmitted in the thickness direction of the intervening member 161 and then to the fixed cam portion 144. That is, since a large torsional stress is not applied to the intervening member 161 when the pressing force from the movable cam part 153 is transmitted to the fixed cam part 144, it is not necessary to have high torsional rigidity.
次に、運転者のアクセル操作によってエンジンの回転数が所定の値よりも大きくなると、遠心クラッチ200はエンジンの回転駆動力をドライブシャフト146に伝達する。エンジンの回転数が増加するに従ってクラッチウエイト220に作用する遠心力が連結スプリング223の弾性力(引張力)よりも大きくなる。これにより、クラッチウエイト220が揺動支持ピン213を中心として径方向の外側に向かって回動変位する。すなわち、クラッチウエイト220が連結スプリング223の弾性力(引張力)に抗しながらクラッチアウタ230の円筒面231側に回動変位し、クラッチシュー221が円筒面231に接触する。そして、クラッチシュー221が円筒面231に押し付けられる。これにより、遠心クラッチ200は、エンジンの回転駆動力を完全にドライブシャフト146に伝達するクラッチオンの状態となる。したがって、自動二輪車は、エンジンの回転駆動力によって後輪が回転駆動して走行する。
Next, when the engine rotational speed becomes larger than a predetermined value due to the driver's accelerator operation, the centrifugal clutch 200 transmits the rotational driving force of the engine to the drive shaft 146. As the engine speed increases, the centrifugal force acting on the clutch weight 220 becomes larger than the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223. As a result, the clutch weight 220 is rotationally displaced radially outward about the swing support pin 213. That is, the clutch weight 220 is rotationally displaced toward the cylindrical surface 231 of the clutch outer 230 while resisting the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223, and the clutch shoe 221 comes into contact with the cylindrical surface 231. The clutch shoe 221 is then pressed against the cylindrical surface 231. As a result, the centrifugal clutch 200 enters a clutch-on state in which the rotational driving force of the engine is completely transmitted to the drive shaft 146. Therefore, the motorcycle runs with the rear wheels rotationally driven by the rotational driving force of the engine.
クラッチオンの状態において、ドリブンプーリ131は、エンジンの回転数が増加するに従って可動側ドリブンプーリ150がトルクスプリング170の弾性力およびカム推力に抗して固定側ドリブンプーリ140に対して離隔する方向(即ち方向D1)に移動する。すなわち、可動側ドリブンプーリ150の可動側カム部153は、固定側ドリブンプーリ140の固定側カム部144に対して離隔する方向に摺動する。
In the clutch-on state, the driven pulley 131 moves in a direction (in which the movable driven pulley 150 moves away from the fixed driven pulley 140 against the elastic force of the torque spring 170 and the cam thrust as the engine speed increases). That is, it moves in the direction D1). That is, the movable cam portion 153 of the movable driven pulley 150 slides in a direction away from the fixed cam portion 144 of the fixed driven pulley 140.
これにより、図9Bに示すように、介在部材161を介した第1可動側摺動面153MAと固定側当接面144MAとの接触面積は、最少または最少に近い値となるが、介在部材161を介した固定側カム部144と可動側カム部153との接触状態は維持される。すなわち、可動側ドリブンプーリ150から固定側ドリブンプーリ140への回転駆動力の伝達は維持される。
As a result, as shown in FIG. 9B, the contact area between the first movable sliding surface 153MA and the fixed contact surface 144MA via the intervening member 161 becomes the minimum or a value close to the minimum, but the intervening member 161 The state of contact between the fixed side cam part 144 and the movable side cam part 153 via the contact state is maintained. That is, the transmission of the rotational driving force from the movable driven pulley 150 to the fixed driven pulley 140 is maintained.
また、可動側ドリブンプーリ150の可動側カム部153は、Vベルト120側に露出する(図2参照)。これにより、軸受け147a、147bに生じた熱を、露出した可動側カム部153の周囲の空間を介して外部に逃がすことができる。
Further, the movable side cam portion 153 of the movable side driven pulley 150 is exposed on the V-belt 120 side (see FIG. 2). Thereby, the heat generated in the bearings 147a, 147b can be released to the outside through the space around the exposed movable cam portion 153.
また、クラッチオンの状態においても、クラッチオフの状態と同様に、可動側カム部153からの押圧力は、介在部材161の厚さ方向に伝達されて固定側カム部144に伝達される。すなわち、介在部材161には、可動側カム部153からの押圧力が固定側カム部144に伝達される際に大きなねじり応力が掛かることがないため、高いねじり剛性を備える必要はない。
Further, even in the clutch-on state, the pressing force from the movable cam portion 153 is transmitted in the thickness direction of the intervening member 161 to the fixed-side cam portion 144, as in the clutch-off state. That is, since a large torsional stress is not applied to the intervening member 161 when the pressing force from the movable cam part 153 is transmitted to the fixed cam part 144, it is not necessary to have high torsional rigidity.
なお、クラッチオンの状態においては、自動二輪車車の走行状態によってはドリブンプーリ131に駆動輪側(即ちドライブシャフト146側)からバックトルクが掛かる場合がある。ここで、固定側カム部144と可動側カム部153との間には、介在部材161が設けられていない。このため、図10に示すように、固定側カム部144の固定側摺動面144MBは、第2可動側摺動面153MBに直接接触して可動側カム部153を押圧し、バックトルクが可動側カム部153に伝達される。
Note that in the clutch-on state, back torque may be applied to the driven pulley 131 from the drive wheel side (that is, the drive shaft 146 side) depending on the running state of the motorcycle. Here, no intervening member 161 is provided between the fixed cam section 144 and the movable cam section 153. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the fixed side sliding surface 144MB of the fixed side cam section 144 directly contacts the second movable side sliding surface 153MB and presses the movable side cam section 153, causing back torque to move. The signal is transmitted to the side cam portion 153.
一方、エンジンの回転数が減少していく場合においては、遠心クラッチ200は、エンジンの回転駆動力のドライブシャフト146への伝達を遮断する。具体的には、エンジンの回転数が減少するに従ってクラッチウエイト220に作用する遠心力が連結スプリング223の弾性力(引張力)よりも小さくなり、クラッチウエイト220が揺動支持ピン213を中心として径方向の内側に向かって回動変位する。
On the other hand, when the engine speed decreases, the centrifugal clutch 200 cuts off the transmission of the rotational driving force of the engine to the drive shaft 146. Specifically, as the engine speed decreases, the centrifugal force acting on the clutch weight 220 becomes smaller than the elastic force (tensile force) of the connection spring 223, and the clutch weight 220 expands in diameter around the swing support pin 213. rotational displacement toward the inside of the direction.
これにより、クラッチシュー221がクラッチアウタ230の円筒面231から離隔して元の位置(上述のアイドリング時の位置)に復帰する。すなわち、遠心クラッチ200は、クラッチシュー221がクラッチアウタ230に接触せず回転駆動力を伝達しないクラッチオフの状態となる。
As a result, the clutch shoe 221 separates from the cylindrical surface 231 of the clutch outer 230 and returns to its original position (the above-mentioned idling position). That is, the centrifugal clutch 200 is in a clutch-off state in which the clutch shoe 221 does not contact the clutch outer 230 and does not transmit rotational driving force.
なお、エンジンの回転数が減少するに従って可動側ドリブンプーリ150がトルクスプリング170の弾性力およびカム推力によって固定側ドリブンプーリ140に接近する方向(即ち方向D2)に移動する。これにより、可動側ドリブンプーリ150の可動側カム部153は、Vベルト120側への露出量が減少するとともに固定側カム部144との嵌合量(挿入量)が増加する。
Note that as the rotational speed of the engine decreases, the movable driven pulley 150 moves in the direction closer to the fixed driven pulley 140 (that is, the direction D2) due to the elastic force of the torque spring 170 and the cam thrust. As a result, the amount of exposure of the movable cam portion 153 of the movable driven pulley 150 to the V-belt 120 side is reduced, and the amount of fitting (insertion amount) with the fixed cam portion 144 is increased.
上述のように、クラッチオフの状態やクラッチオンの状態のときに、固定側ドリブンプーリが回転方向Lに回転すると、介在部材161に作用する遠心力によって介在部材161は径方向の外側に広がろうとする。ここで、介在部材161の径方向の外側には壁部145が配置されているため、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形は抑制される。これにより、介在部材161の破損が抑制される。
As described above, when the stationary driven pulley rotates in the rotational direction L in the clutch-off state or clutch-on state, the centrifugal force acting on the intervening member 161 causes the intervening member 161 to spread outward in the radial direction. try to Here, since the wall portion 145 is disposed on the radially outer side of the intervening member 161, radially outward deformation of the intervening member 161 is suppressed. This suppresses damage to the intervening member 161.
以上のように、本実施形態のプーリ装置130によると、可動側カム部153は、可動側カム部153に対して摺動可能に構成された介在部材161を介して固定側カム部144を押圧可能に構成されている。このため、可動側ドリブンプーリ150が受けた回転駆動力は、介在部材161を介して固定側ドリブンプーリ140に間接的に伝達される。このとき、介在部材161にはねじり応力が発生しないため、ねじりに対する剛性を確保する負担が低減される。
As described above, according to the pulley device 130 of the present embodiment, the movable cam portion 153 presses the fixed cam portion 144 via the intervening member 161 configured to be slidable with respect to the movable cam portion 153. configured to be possible. Therefore, the rotational driving force received by the movable driven pulley 150 is indirectly transmitted to the fixed driven pulley 140 via the intervening member 161. At this time, since no torsional stress is generated in the intervening member 161, the burden of ensuring rigidity against torsion is reduced.

本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、可動側摺動面153Mと固定側接触面144Mとは互いに平行に形成されている。上記態様によれば、可動側ドリブンプーリ150が受けた回転駆動力を、介在部材161を介して固定側ドリブンプーリ140に効果的に伝達することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the movable sliding surface 153M and the fixed contact surface 144M are formed parallel to each other. According to the above aspect, the rotational driving force received by the movable driven pulley 150 can be effectively transmitted to the fixed driven pulley 140 via the intervening member 161.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、介在部材161は、例えば、固定側カム部144および可動側カム部153よりも耐摩耗性が低い材料から形成されている。上記態様によれば、固定側カム部144および可動側カム部153の摩耗を抑制することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of the present embodiment, the intervening member 161 is made of, for example, a material with lower wear resistance than the fixed cam portion 144 and the movable cam portion 153. According to the above aspect, wear of the fixed cam portion 144 and the movable cam portion 153 can be suppressed.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、介在部材161が可動側カム部153と固定側当接面144MAとに挟まれた状態において、可動側カム部153と固定側摺動面144MBとの間には隙間が形成されている。上記態様によれば、介在部材161を固定側ドリブンプーリ140に容易に組み付けることができる。また、介在部材161が熱膨張した場合であっても、可動側カム部153を挟み込まないため、可動側ドリブンプーリ150の摺動不良の発生を抑制することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of the present embodiment, in a state where the intervening member 161 is sandwiched between the movable cam portion 153 and the fixed side contact surface 144MA, there is no space between the movable cam portion 153 and the fixed side sliding surface 144MB. A gap is formed. According to the above aspect, the intervening member 161 can be easily assembled to the stationary driven pulley 140. Furthermore, even if the intervening member 161 thermally expands, it does not pinch the movable cam portion 153, so it is possible to suppress the occurrence of sliding failures of the movable driven pulley 150.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130は、固定側スリーブ142と可動側スリーブ152との間に配置され、かつ、可動側スリーブ152が摺動自在に嵌合する筒部材163を有している。上記態様によれば、固定側スリーブ142と可動側スリーブ152とが直接摺動しないため、摩耗や焼き付きを抑制することができる。
The pulley device 130 of this embodiment includes a cylindrical member 163 that is disposed between the fixed sleeve 142 and the movable sleeve 152 and into which the movable sleeve 152 is slidably fitted. According to the above aspect, since the fixed sleeve 142 and the movable sleeve 152 do not directly slide, wear and seizure can be suppressed.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、固定側カム部144の一部は、貫通孔143よりも可動側プーリ151側(第1の方向D1側)に位置する。上記態様によれば、固定側カム部144と介在部材161の介在側接触面161Mとの接触面積が大きくなるため、面圧を低減させることができる。即ち、固定側カム部144および介在部材161の耐久性が向上する。
In the pulley device 130 of the present embodiment, a portion of the fixed cam portion 144 is located closer to the movable pulley 151 (on the first direction D1 side) than the through hole 143 is. According to the above aspect, since the contact area between the stationary cam portion 144 and the intervening contact surface 161M of the intervening member 161 becomes large, the surface pressure can be reduced. That is, the durability of the stationary cam portion 144 and the intervening member 161 is improved.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、固定側スリーブ142には、径方向の内側に向けて凹みかつ介在部材161から離隔した逃げ溝143Aが形成されている。上記態様によれば、固定側スリーブ142を容易に成形することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the stationary sleeve 142 is formed with an escape groove 143A that is recessed toward the inside in the radial direction and is spaced apart from the intervening member 161. According to the above aspect, the stationary sleeve 142 can be easily molded.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、固定側ドリブンプーリ140および可動側ドリブンプーリ150が回転するときには、介在部材161が遠心力によって径方向の外側に変形しようとするが、固定側ドリブンプーリ140は、介在部材161よりも径方向の外側に位置し、かつ、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形を抑制する壁部145を備えている。これにより、固定側ドリブンプーリ140に取り付けられた介在部材161に過度な応力が加わることがなく、介在部材161が破損することが抑制される。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, when the fixed driven pulley 140 and the movable driven pulley 150 rotate, the intervening member 161 tends to deform outward in the radial direction due to centrifugal force, but the fixed driven pulley 140 A wall portion 145 is provided that is located on the outer side of the intervening member 161 in the radial direction and suppresses deformation of the intervening member 161 to the outside in the radial direction. As a result, excessive stress is not applied to the intervening member 161 attached to the stationary driven pulley 140, and damage to the intervening member 161 is suppressed.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、壁部145は、貫通孔143の一部を区画する。上記態様によれば、貫通孔143の一部を区画する壁部145によって、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形を抑制することができる。即ち、別途部材を設ける必要がなく、プーリ装置130の部品点数の増加を抑制することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the wall portion 145 partitions a part of the through hole 143. According to the above aspect, the wall portion 145 that partitions a portion of the through hole 143 can suppress deformation of the intervening member 161 toward the outside in the radial direction. That is, there is no need to provide a separate member, and an increase in the number of parts of the pulley device 130 can be suppressed.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、固定側カム部144は、介在部材161が接触する固定側接触面144Mを有し、壁部145は、固定側接触面144Mに連続しかつ固定側接触面144Mよりも径方向の外側に位置する。上記態様によれば、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形をより確実に抑制することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the fixed side cam portion 144 has a fixed side contact surface 144M with which the intervening member 161 contacts, and the wall portion 145 is continuous with the fixed side contact surface 144M and has a fixed side contact surface 144M. It is located radially outward. According to the above aspect, radially outward deformation of the intervening member 161 can be more reliably suppressed.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、固定側接触面144Mは、介在部材161よりも回転方向Lの下流側に位置し、かつ、介在部材161に当接する固定側当接面144MAと、介在部材161よりも回転方向Lの上流側に位置し、かつ、可動側カム部153が摺動する固定側摺動面144MBと、を含み、壁部145は、固定側当接面144MAに連続しかつ固定側当接面144MAよりも径方向の外側に位置する。上記態様によれば、固定側ドリブンプーリ140が回転方向Lに回転するときには、固定側当接面144MAに接触している介在部材161にはより大きな遠心力が加わるが、壁部145は固定側当接面144MAに連続しかつ固定側当接面144MAよりも径方向の外側に位置するため、介在部材161の径方向の外側への変形をより確実に抑制することができる。なお、壁部145は、固定側摺動面144MBに連続しかつ固定側摺動面144MBよりも径方向の外側に位置してもよい。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the fixed side contact surface 144M is located downstream of the intervening member 161 in the rotational direction L and is in contact with the intervening member 161. The wall portion 145 is continuous with and fixed to the fixed side contact surface 144MA. It is located on the outer side in the radial direction than the side contact surface 144MA. According to the above aspect, when the stationary side driven pulley 140 rotates in the rotation direction L, a larger centrifugal force is applied to the intervening member 161 that is in contact with the stationary side contact surface 144MA, but the wall portion 145 is Since it is continuous with the abutment surface 144MA and is located radially outward from the fixed side abutment surface 144MA, deformation of the intervening member 161 radially outward can be more reliably suppressed. Note that the wall portion 145 may be continuous with the fixed-side sliding surface 144MB and may be located on the outer side of the fixed-side sliding surface 144MB in the radial direction.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、らせん状に形成された固定側接触面144Mとらせん状に形成された介在側接触面161Mとは面接触するように構成されている。上記態様によれば、可動側ドリブンプーリ150から固定側ドリブンプーリ140に駆動力をより効率よく伝達することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the fixed side contact surface 144M formed in a spiral shape and the intervening side contact surface 161M formed in a spiral shape are configured to make surface contact. According to the above aspect, the driving force can be transmitted from the movable driven pulley 150 to the fixed driven pulley 140 more efficiently.
本実施形態のプーリ装置130では、介在部材161は、ポリアミド樹脂の吸水率よりも低い吸水率を有する材料から形成されている。上記態様によれば、介在部材161の機能をより確実に発揮することができる。
In the pulley device 130 of this embodiment, the intervening member 161 is formed from a material having a water absorption rate lower than that of polyamide resin. According to the above aspect, the function of the intervening member 161 can be more reliably exhibited.

The driven pulley 331 includes a fixed driven pulley 340, a movable driven pulley 150, and an intervening member 361 interposed between the fixed driven pulley 340 and the movable driven pulley 150. The fixed driven pulley 340 and the movable driven pulley 150 are rotationally driven by the driving force from the engine transmitted via the V-belt 120.
図11に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340は、可動側ドリブンプーリ150とともにVベルト120を挟む。固定側ドリブンプーリ340は、アルミニウム材などの金属材料から形成されている。図12に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340は、固定側プーリ341と、固定側スリーブ342と、貫通孔343と、固定側カム部344と、を備えている。本実施形態では、固定側プーリ341と、固定側スリーブ342と、固定側カム部344とは互いに同じ材料から一体的に成形されているが、互いに別部品で成形されて溶接などを介して互いに連結されていてもよい。

May be connected.
図11に示すように、固定側プーリ341は、可動側プーリ151とともにVベルト120を挟む。固定側プーリ341は、円環状に形成されている。固定側プーリ341は、固定側スリーブ342よりも径方向の外側に位置する。
As shown in FIG. 11, the fixed pulley 341 and the movable pulley 151 sandwich the V-belt 120. The fixed pulley 341 is formed in an annular shape. The fixed pulley 341 is located radially outside the fixed sleeve 342.
固定側スリーブ342は、固定側プーリ341と一体的に回転駆動する部材である。固定側スリーブ342は、円筒状に形成されている。固定側スリーブ342の一方の端部(図11の右側の端部)は、固定側カム部344を介して固定側プーリ341と接続している。固定側スリーブ342の他方の端部(図11の左側の端部)は、連結具148を介して遠心クラッチ200のドライブプレート210に連結されている。
The fixed sleeve 342 is a member that rotates integrally with the fixed pulley 341. The fixed sleeve 342 is formed into a cylindrical shape. One end of the stationary sleeve 342 (the right end in FIG. 11) is connected to the stationary pulley 341 via a stationary cam portion 344. The other end of the stationary sleeve 342 (the left end in FIG. 11) is connected to the drive plate 210 of the centrifugal clutch 200 via a connector 148.
図12に示すように、固定側カム部344は、径方向に関して固定側スリーブ342と固定側プーリ341との間に位置する。ここでは、3つの固定側カム部344が回転方向Lに等間隔で並ぶ。固定側カム部344は、介在部材361を介して可動側カム部153が摺動する部分である。固定側カム部344は、介在部材361が接触する固定側接触面344Mを有している。固定側接触面344Mは、固定側カム部344の回転方向Lの一方の端部に形成された第1固定側当接面344MAと、固定側カム部344の回転方向Lの他方の端部に形成された第2固定側当接面344MB(図14参照)と、含む。第1固定側当接面344MAは、介在部材361よりも回転方向Lの下流側に位置する。第2固定側当接面344MBは、介在部材361よりも回転方向Lの上流側に位置する。第1固定側当接面344MAおよび第2固定側当接面344MBは、回転方向Lに捩じれながら軸方向に延びるらせん状の曲面である。第1固定側当接面344MAは、エンジンからの回転駆動力を介在部材361を介して可動側カム部153から受けるカム面である。第2固定側当接面344MBは、駆動輪側からのバックトルクを介在部材361を介して可動側カム部153に与えるカム面である。
As shown in FIG. 12, the fixed cam portion 344 is located between the fixed sleeve 342 and the fixed pulley 341 in the radial direction. Here, the three fixed side cam parts 344 are lined up at equal intervals in the rotation direction L. The fixed cam portion 344 is a portion on which the movable cam portion 153 slides via the intervening member 361. The fixed side cam portion 344 has a fixed side contact surface 344M with which the intervening member 361 comes into contact. The fixed side contact surface 344M includes a first fixed side contact surface 344MA formed at one end of the fixed side cam section 344 in the rotation direction L, and a first fixed side contact surface 344MA formed at the other end of the fixed side cam section 344 in the rotation direction L. A formed second fixed side contact surface 344MB (see FIG. 14) is included. The first fixed side contact surface 344MA is located downstream of the intervening member 361 in the rotation direction L. The second fixed side contact surface 344MB is located upstream of the intervening member 361 in the rotation direction L. The first fixed-side contact surface 344MA and the second fixed-side contact surface 344MB are spiral curved surfaces that extend in the axial direction while being twisted in the rotation direction L. The first fixed side contact surface 344MA is a cam surface that receives rotational driving force from the engine from the movable cam portion 153 via the intervening member 361. The second fixed side contact surface 344MB is a cam surface that applies back torque from the driving wheel side to the movable side cam portion 153 via the intervening member 361.
図13に示すように、貫通孔343は、回転方向Lに関して隣り合う固定側カム部344の間に形成されている。ここでは、3つの貫通孔343が回転方向Lに等間隔に並ぶ。貫通孔343は、長孔状に形成されている。貫通孔343には、介在部材361および可動側カム部153が挿入される。
As shown in FIG. 13, the through hole 343 is formed between the fixed side cam parts 344 adjacent to each other in the rotation direction L. Here, three through holes 343 are arranged at equal intervals in the rotation direction L. The through hole 343 is formed in a long hole shape. The intervening member 361 and the movable cam portion 153 are inserted into the through hole 343 .
図14に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340は、貫通孔343の一部を区画する壁部345を備えている。壁部345は、固定側カム部344の一部である。壁部345は、抑制部材の一例である。図15および図16に示すように、壁部345は、介在部材361(より詳細には後述する第2介在部材361B)よりも径方向の外側に位置する。壁部345は、第2固定側当接面344MBに連続する。壁部345は、第2固定側当接面344MBよりも径方向の外側に位置する。壁部345は、第2固定側当接面344MBに沿って形成されている。壁部345は、介在部材361に接触(ここでは面接触)している。なお、壁部345と介在部材361との間にはわずかな隙間が空いていてもよい。壁部345は、介在部材361(特に第2介在部材361B)の径方向の外側への変形を抑制する。即ち、固定側ドリブンプーリ340が回転方向Lに回転するとき、介在部材361に作用する遠心力によって介在部材361は径方向の外側に広がろうとするが、介在部材361の径方向の外側には壁部345が配置されているため、介在部材361の径方向の外側への変形は抑制される。
As shown in FIG. 14, the stationary driven pulley 340 includes a wall portion 345 that partitions a portion of the through hole 343. The wall portion 345 is a part of the fixed cam portion 344. The wall portion 345 is an example of a suppressing member. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the wall portion 345 is located radially outside of the intervening member 361 (more specifically, a second intervening member 361B to be described later). The wall portion 345 is continuous with the second fixed side contact surface 344MB. The wall portion 345 is located on the outer side in the radial direction than the second fixed side contact surface 344MB. The wall portion 345 is formed along the second fixed side contact surface 344MB. The wall portion 345 is in contact with the intervening member 361 (here, surface contact). Note that there may be a slight gap between the wall portion 345 and the intervening member 361. The wall portion 345 suppresses radially outward deformation of the intervening member 361 (particularly the second intervening member 361B). That is, when the stationary driven pulley 340 rotates in the rotation direction L, the centrifugal force acting on the intervening member 361 causes the intervening member 361 to spread outward in the radial direction; Since the wall portion 345 is disposed, radially outward deformation of the intervening member 361 is suppressed.
図17に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340は、介在部材361よりも第1の方向D1側に位置し、かつ、介在部材361の移動を規制する規制壁346を備えている。規制壁346は、第1規制部材の一例である。図18に示すように、規制壁346は、回転方向Lかつ径方向に延びる。規制壁346は、第1固定側当接面344MAと連続する。規制壁346は、介在部材361(ここでは、第1介在部材361A)と接触可能に構成されている。規制壁346が介在部材361よりも第1の方向D1側に位置するため、介在部材361は規制壁346を超えて第1の方向D1側に移動することができない。
As shown in FIG. 17, the stationary driven pulley 340 is located closer to the first direction D1 than the intervening member 361, and includes a regulating wall 346 that restricts the movement of the intervening member 361. The regulation wall 346 is an example of a first regulation member. As shown in FIG. 18, the regulating wall 346 extends in the rotation direction L and in the radial direction. The regulating wall 346 is continuous with the first fixed side contact surface 344MA. The regulating wall 346 is configured to be able to come into contact with the intervening member 361 (here, the first intervening member 361A). Since the regulation wall 346 is located closer to the first direction D1 than the intervening member 361, the intervening member 361 cannot move beyond the regulation wall 346 in the first direction D1.
図11に示すように、中間スリーブ360は、固定側ドリブンプーリ340と可動側ドリブンプーリ150との間に配置されている。図12に示すように、中間スリーブ360は、筒状に形成されている。中間スリーブ360は、可動側ドリブンプーリ150を軸方向に案内するための部材である。中間スリーブ360は、可動側スリーブ152の内側に圧入して加締められている。中間スリーブ360は、固定側スリーブ342に対して摺動自在に外嵌する。中間スリーブ360は、可動側スリーブ152よりも軸方向の長さが長い。筒部材163は、固定側スリーブ342よりも軸方向の長さが短い。
As shown in FIG. 11, the intermediate sleeve 360 is arranged between the fixed driven pulley 340 and the movable driven pulley 150. As shown in FIG. 12, the intermediate sleeve 360 is formed into a cylindrical shape. The intermediate sleeve 360 is a member for guiding the movable driven pulley 150 in the axial direction.

介在部材361は、上述した第1実施形態の介在部材161と同様の材料から形成されている。図18に示すように、介在部材361は、固定側プーリ341の第2の方向D2の面側から固定側ドリブンプーリ340の貫通孔343に挿入されている。介在部材361は、貫通孔343に挿入されて固定側ドリブンプーリ340に取り付けられている。本実施形態では、3つの介在部材361が回転方向Lに等間隔に配置されている。介在部材361は、回転方向Lに関して固定側カム部344の第1固定側当接面344MAと第2固定側当接面344MBとの間に位置する。図19Aおよび図19Bに示すように、介在部材361は、第1固定側当接面344MAに接触する第1介在部材361Aと、第2固定側当接面344MBに接触する第2介在部材361Bと、第1介在部材361Aの径方向の外側の部分と第2介在部材361Bの径方向の外側の部分とを連結する連結部材361Cとを備えている。第1介在部材361Aは、第1固定側当接面344MAと可動側カム部153との間に位置する。第2介在部材361Bは、第2固定側当接面344MBと可動側カム部153との間に位置する。第1介在部材361Aおよび第2介在部材361Bは、可動側カム部153に対して摺動可能に構成されている。
The intervening member 361 is made of the same material as the intervening member 161 of the first embodiment described above. As shown in FIG. 18, the intervening member 361 is inserted into the through hole 343 of the stationary driven pulley 340 from the surface side of the stationary pulley 341 in the second direction D2.

The intervening side contact surface 361M is a surface that comes into contact with the fixed side cam portion 344.

The intervening contact surface 361M is configured to slide in surface contact with the movable sliding surface 153M. The intervening side contact surface 361M is formed between a first intervening side contact surface 361MA (see FIG. 19A) formed at one end of the first intervening member 361A in the rotational direction L and a second intervening member 361B in the rotational direction L. A second intervening side contact surface 361MB (see FIG. 19B) formed at the other end and a first intervening side sliding surface 361MC formed at the other end in the rotational direction L of the first intervening member 361A ( (see FIG. 19B), and a second intervening side sliding surface 361MD (see FIG. 19A) formed at one end of the second intervening member 361B in the rotation direction L.

図18に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340は、固定側プーリ341に形成され、かつ、介在部材361の連結部材361Cの径方向の外側への変形を抑制する変形抑制壁347を有する。変形抑制壁347は、リング状に形成されている。変形抑制壁347は、固定側カム部344の径方向の外側に配置されている。なお、駆動源が停止した状態において、径方向に関して、連結部材361Cと変形抑制壁347との間には、隙間が形成されている。また、固定側ドリブンプーリ340および可動側ドリブンプーリ150が回転するとき、連結部材361Cは径方向の外側にわずかに変位して変形抑制壁347と接触する。なお、介在部材361の固定側ドリブンプーリ340に対する径方向および回転方向Lの位置決めは、固定側接触面344Mと介在側接触面361Mとを面接触させることによって行われており、連結部材361Cを変形抑制壁347に突き当てることによって行われていない。
As shown in FIG. 18, the stationary driven pulley 340 has a deformation suppressing wall 347 that is formed on the stationary pulley 341 and that suppresses radially outward deformation of the connecting member 361C of the intervening member 361. The deformation suppressing wall 347 is formed in a ring shape. The deformation suppressing wall 347 is arranged on the outside of the stationary cam portion 344 in the radial direction. Note that when the drive source is stopped, a gap is formed between the connecting member 361C and the deformation suppressing wall 347 in the radial direction. Further, when the fixed driven pulley 340 and the movable driven pulley 150 rotate, the connecting member 361C is slightly displaced radially outward and comes into contact with the deformation suppressing wall 347. Note that positioning of the intervening member 361 with respect to the fixed driven pulley 340 in the radial direction and rotational direction L is performed by bringing the fixed side contact surface 344M and the intervening side contact surface 361M into surface contact, and by deforming the connecting member 361C. This is not done by hitting the restraining wall 347.
図20に示すように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340に取り付けられた介在部材361が、方向D2から脱落しないように、固定側ドリブンプーリ340には、介在部材361の抜け止め防止用のワッシャー370およびサークリップ371が取り付けられている。ワッシャー370は、介在部材361よりも方向D2側に設けられている。ワッシャー370は、軸方向から見て介在部材361の連結部材361Cと重なる。ワッシャー370は、連結部材361Cと接触可能に設けられている。サークリップ371は、ワッシャー370を固定側プーリ341に保持するための部材である。サークリップ371は、ワッシャー370よりも方向D2側に設けられている。サークリップ371は、変形抑制壁347に設けられたサークリップ保持溝347Aに保持されている。サークリップ371は、第2規制部材の一例である。即ち、サークリップ371は、介在部材361が第2の方向D2に移動することを規制する。
As shown in FIG. 20, in order to prevent the intervening member 361 attached to the stationary driven pulley 340 from falling off in the direction D2, the stationary driven pulley 340 is equipped with a washer 370 for preventing the intervening member 361 from falling off and a server. A clip 371 is attached. The washer 370 is provided closer to the direction D2 than the intervening member 361. The washer 370 overlaps the connecting member 361C of the intervening member 361 when viewed from the axial direction. The washer 370 is provided so as to be able to come into contact with the connecting member 361C. The circlip 371 is a member for holding the washer 370 on the fixed pulley 341. The circlip 371 is provided closer to the direction D2 than the washer 370. The circlip 371 is held in a circlip holding groove 347A provided in the deformation suppressing wall 347. The circlip 371 is an example of a second regulating member. That is, the circlip 371 restricts the intervening member 361 from moving in the second direction D2.
ここで、クラッチオフの状態において、可動側ドリブンプーリ150はトルクスプリング170によって固定側ドリブンプーリ340に最も接近する位置またはその近傍の位置に押圧されている。このため、図21Aに示すように、可動側カム部153が貫通孔343内に奥深くまで進入した状態で第1可動側摺動面153MAが第1固定側当接面344MAに対して介在部材361の第1介在部材361Aを介して密着し、回転駆動力を固定側ドリブンプーリ140に伝達する。
Here, in the clutch-off state, the movable driven pulley 150 is pressed by the torque spring 170 to a position closest to the stationary driven pulley 340 or a position in the vicinity thereof. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21A, when the movable cam portion 153 has entered deeply into the through hole 343, the first movable sliding surface 153MA is connected to the first fixed abutting surface 344MA by the intervening member 361. are in close contact with each other via the first intervening member 361A, and transmit rotational driving force to the stationary driven pulley 140.
また、クラッチオンの状態において、図21Bに示すように、介在部材361を介した第1可動側摺動面153MAと第1固定側当接面344MAとの接触面積は、最少または最少に近い値となるが、介在部材361を介した固定側カム部344と可動側カム部153との接触状態は維持される。すなわち、可動側ドリブンプーリ150から固定側ドリブンプーリ340への回転駆動力の伝達は維持される。
In addition, in the clutch-on state, as shown in FIG. 21B, the contact area between the first movable sliding surface 153MA and the first fixed contact surface 344MA via the intervening member 361 is at a minimum or a value close to the minimum. However, the state of contact between the stationary cam portion 344 and the movable cam portion 153 via the intervening member 361 is maintained. That is, the transmission of the rotational driving force from the movable driven pulley 150 to the fixed driven pulley 340 is maintained.
なお、クラッチオンの状態においてドリブンプーリ331に駆動輪側(即ちドライブシャフト146側)からバックトルクが掛かる場合には、図22に示すように、固定側カム部344の第2固定側当接面344MBは、介在部材361の第2介在部材361Bを介して第2可動側摺動面153MBに直接接触して可動側カム部153を押圧し、バックトルクが可動側カム部153に伝達される。
Note that when back torque is applied to the driven pulley 331 from the drive wheel side (that is, the drive shaft 146 side) in the clutch-on state, as shown in FIG. 344MB directly contacts the second movable sliding surface 153MB via the second intervening member 361B of the intervening member 361 to press the movable cam portion 153, and back torque is transmitted to the movable cam portion 153.
上述のように、クラッチオフの状態やクラッチオンの状態のときに、固定側ドリブンプーリが回転方向Lに回転すると、介在部材361に作用する遠心力によって介在部材361は径方向の外側に広がろうとする。ここで、介在部材361の径方向の外側には壁部345や変形抑制壁347が配置されているため、介在部材361の径方向の外側への変形は抑制される。これにより、介在部材361の破損が抑制される。
As described above, when the stationary driven pulley rotates in the rotation direction L in the clutch-off state or clutch-on state, the centrifugal force acting on the intervening member 361 causes the intervening member 361 to spread outward in the radial direction. try to Here, since the wall portion 345 and the deformation suppressing wall 347 are arranged on the outside of the intervening member 361 in the radial direction, deformation of the intervening member 361 toward the outside in the radial direction is suppressed. This suppresses damage to the intervening member 361.
以上のように、本実施形態のプーリ装置330によると、可動側カム部153は、可動側カム部153に対して摺動可能に構成された介在部材361を介して固定側カム部344を押圧可能に構成されている。このため、可動側ドリブンプーリ150が受けた回転駆動力は、介在部材361を介して固定側ドリブンプーリ340に間接的に伝達される。このとき、介在部材361にはねじり応力が発生しないため、ねじりに対する剛性を確保する負担が低減される。
As described above, according to the pulley device 330 of the present embodiment, the movable cam portion 153 presses the fixed cam portion 344 via the intervening member 361 configured to be slidable with respect to the movable cam portion 153. configured to be possible. Therefore, the rotational driving force received by the movable driven pulley 150 is indirectly transmitted to the fixed driven pulley 340 via the intervening member 361. At this time, since no torsional stress is generated in the intervening member 361, the burden of ensuring rigidity against torsion is reduced.
本実施形態のプーリ装置330では、規制壁346は、固定側ドリブンプーリ340に設けられ、かつ、介在部材361よりも第1の方向D1側に位置する。上記態様によれば、介在部材361が貫通孔343から脱落することが抑制される。
