The clutch mechanism 4 has a first clutch member 11 and a second clutch member 12 arranged coaxially. The first clutch member 11 is located in the first direction X1 of the second clutch member 12. The first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 are made of metal. In this example, the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 are formed by pressing metal powder into a mold and sintering the metal powder. Alternatively, the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 are molded by pouring a mixture of resin and metal into a mold and performing heat treatment. The clutch mechanism 4 is provided with a coil spring 13. The coil spring 13 is an urging member that urges the second clutch member 12 toward the first clutch member 11.
As shown in fig. 2, the first clutch member 11 is an annular member surrounding the axis L, and the first clutch member 11 has a circular outline when viewed in the axial direction X. as shown in fig. 1, the small diameter portion 8 of the output shaft 5 passes through the center hole 11a of the first clutch member 11, and the first clutch member 11 is fixed to the end portion of the small diameter portion 8 in the first direction X1.
The first clutch member 11 includes a first facing surface 15 facing the second clutch member 12, as shown in fig. 3, the first facing surface 15 is a tapered surface inclined in the same direction as the axial direction X from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side, in this example, the first facing surface 15 is inclined in the first direction X1 away from the second clutch member 12 from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side, the inclination angle θ 1 of the first facing surface 15 is 2 °, that is, the first facing surface 15 is inclined by 2 ° in the radial direction with respect to a virtual surface S1 perpendicular to the axial line L.
The first clutch member 11 includes the projections 16 extending in the radial direction on the first opposing surface 15, the projections 16 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction around the axis L, and the projections 16 extend in the radial direction, and therefore, the grooves 17 are formed between the projections 16 and the projections 16 on the first opposing surface 15, and the projections 16 and the grooves 17 are alternately provided in the circumferential direction.
Each protrusion 16 extends along the first opposing surface 15 so that the height dimension H1 in the axial direction X is constant. Therefore, the tip (one end in the second direction X2) of each projection 16 is inclined from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side in the first direction X1. The tip of each projection 16 is a curved surface whose circumferential center protrudes in the second direction X2 beyond the circumferential ends. The bottom of each groove 17 is a curved surface in which the circumferential center is recessed in the first direction X1 from the circumferential ends. The circumferential width of each projection 16 widens from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side.
As shown in fig. 4, the second clutch member 12 is an annular member surrounding the axis L, as shown in fig. 1, the small diameter portion 8 of the output shaft 5 passes through the center hole 12a of the second clutch member 12, and the second clutch member 12 is supported by the output shaft 5 (small diameter portion 8) in a state of being rotatable about the axis L and movable in the axis direction X.
The second clutch member 12 includes: a circular clutch portion 21 whose contour as viewed in the axial direction X overlaps with the contour of the first clutch member 11; a cylindrical portion 22 surrounding the clutch portion 21 from the outer circumferential side; and a tooth portion 23 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 22.
As shown in fig. 5, the surface of the clutch portion 21 on the first clutch member 11 side, that is, the second opposing surface 25 opposing the first clutch member 11 in the second clutch member 12 is a tapered surface inclined from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side, and the second opposing surface 25 and the first opposing surface 15 are inclined in the same direction as the axial direction X, and therefore, the second opposing surface 25 is inclined from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side toward the first direction X1 approaching the first clutch member 11, and the inclination angle θ 2 of the second opposing surface 25 is the same as the inclination angle θ 1 of the first opposing surface 15, that is, the second opposing surface 25 is inclined by 2 ° in the radial direction with respect to a virtual surface S2 perpendicular to the axial line L.
The second clutch member 12 includes the groove portions 26 extending in the radial direction on the second opposing surface 25, the groove portions 26 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction around the axis L, and the plurality of groove portions 26 extend in the radial direction, and therefore, the protrusions 27 are formed between the groove portions 26 and the groove portions 26 on the second opposing surface 25, the groove portions 26 and the protrusions 27 are alternately provided in the circumferential direction, and the pitch at which the groove portions 26 are formed in the circumferential direction is the same as the pitch at which the protrusions 16 are formed in the circumferential direction on the first opposing surface 15 of the first clutch member 11.
Each groove 26 extends along the second opposing surface 25 so that the depth H2 in the axial direction X is constant. Therefore, the bottom (one end in the second direction X2) of each groove portion 26 is inclined in the first direction X1 from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side. The bottom of each groove 26 is a curved surface in which the circumferential center is recessed in the second direction X2 from the circumferential ends. The tip of each projection 27 is a curved surface whose circumferential center protrudes in the first direction X1 beyond the circumferential ends. The circumferential width of each groove 26 increases from the radially inner side to the radially outer side.
The cylindrical portion 22 includes a protruding portion 22a protruding toward the first clutch member 11 side from the second opposing surface 25. As shown in fig. 1, the first clutch member 11 is inserted inside the protruding portion 22 a. The tooth portion 23 extends from one end in the first direction X1 to one end in the second direction X2 of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 22. The tooth portion 23 meshes with the transfer gear 3.
The coil spring 13 surrounds the small diameter portion 8 of the output shaft 5 and is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the small diameter portion 8. The coil spring 13 is disposed in a compressed state between the annular surface 7a of the large diameter portion 7 of the output shaft 5 and the second clutch member 12. Therefore, the coil spring 13 biases the second clutch member 12 in the first direction X1 toward the first clutch member 11.
In the state where the second clutch member 12 is biased toward the first clutch member 11 by the coil spring 13, the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 engages with the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12, and the clutch mechanism 4 transmits rotation about the axis L between the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 by engagement of the protrusion 16 with the groove 26.
(operation of Driving force transmitting mechanism)
As shown in fig. 1, in the initial state, in the driving force transmission mechanism 1, the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 is engaged with the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12, and in this state, when the driving force from the driving source 2 is transmitted to the transmission gear 3, the transmission gear 3 rotates, whereby the second clutch member 12 engaged with the transmission gear 3 rotates, and further, the rotation of the second clutch member 12 is transmitted to the first clutch member 11, and when the first clutch member 11 rotates, the output shaft 5 rotates integrally with the first clutch member 11, and therefore, the output member 6 connected to the output shaft 5 rotates around the axis L, that is, the driving force from the driving source 2 is transmitted to the output member 6 via the driving force transmission mechanism 1.
Here, although the transmission gear 3 rotates according to the driving of the driving source 2, when the revolution of the output member 6 is prevented by an external force or the like, a load is applied to the clutch mechanism 4.
When the load applied to the clutch mechanism 4 exceeds a predetermined torque, the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 start to rotate relative to each other. As a result, as shown in fig. 6, the second clutch member 12 moves in the second direction X2 against the biasing force of the coil spring 13, and the engagement between the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 and the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12 is released. Thereby, the transmission of the rotation between the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 is released, and therefore, the transmission of the driving force via the driving force transmission mechanism 1 is interrupted. Even when the second clutch member 12 is moved in the second direction X2 and the engagement between the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 and the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12 is released, the engagement between the tooth 23 of the second clutch member 12 and the transmission gear 3 is not disengaged.
When the load applied to the clutch mechanism 4 decreases, the second clutch member 12 moves in the first direction X1 by the biasing force of the coil spring 13. Thereby, the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 engages with the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12, and the state shown in fig. 1 is achieved. When the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 engages with the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12, the driving force from the driving source 2 is transmitted to the output member 6 again via the driving force transmission mechanism 1.
(Effect)
In the present invention, the first opposing surface 15 of the first clutch member 11 and the second opposing surface 25 of the second clutch member 12 are tapered surfaces inclined in the same direction. The protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 is inclined along the first opposing surface 15, and the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12 is inclined along the second opposing surface 25. Therefore, the engagement distance of the protrusion 16 with the groove 26 can be increased as compared with the case where the protrusion 16 and the groove 26 extend in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction X. This can disperse the load applied to the projection 16, and therefore the allowable load of the projection 16 provided in the first clutch member 11 increases.
Further, since the engagement distance at which the protrusion 16 and the groove 26 are engaged can be increased, the height of the protrusion 16 and the depth of the groove 26 can be reduced when torque is transmitted between the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12, as compared with a case where the protrusion 16 and the groove 26 extend in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction X. That is, even if the height of the projection 16 and the depth of the groove 26 are shortened to such an extent that the engagement distance between the projection 16 and the groove 26 becomes long, the same torque can be transmitted.
Further, since the protrusion 16 is inclined, when the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 are engaged with each other from the axial direction X, the protrusion 16 is easily inserted into the groove 26. Therefore, the assembly of the clutch mechanism 4 is easy.
Further, since the first opposing surface 15 and the second opposing surface 25 are tapered surfaces inclined in the same direction, when the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 are engaged, the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 can be easily positioned coaxially.
Further, the circumferential widths of the protrusion 16 and the groove 26 are wider from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side. Therefore, damage to the outer peripheral side portion of the projection 16 can be prevented or suppressed during transmission of rotation and during cancellation of transmission of rotation.
Further, the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 are made of metal, and therefore, the strength of the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 is easily secured, and here, the first facing surface 15 and the projection 16 are inclined in the first clutch member 11, and therefore, the first clutch member 11 is easily detached from the mold at the time of molding, as compared with a case where the first facing surface 15 and the projection 16 extend in the direction perpendicular to the axis L, and therefore, the first clutch member 11 is easily manufactured, and further, in the second clutch member 12, the second facing surface 25 and the groove portion 26 are inclined, and therefore, the second clutch member 12 is easily detached from the mold at the time of molding, as compared with a case where the second facing surface 25 and the groove portion 26 extend in the direction perpendicular to the axis L.
Further, the outer peripheral side of the clutch portion 21 of the second clutch member 12 close to the projecting portion 22a is thick by the inclination of the second opposing surface 25. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the cylindrical portion 22 via the tooth portions 23, the projecting portion 22a can be prevented or suppressed from deforming so as to fall toward the inner peripheral side.
Further, the first clutch member 11 is inserted into the projecting portion 22a of the second clutch member 12. Therefore, even when the tooth portions 23 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the second clutch member 12 and the dimension of the tooth portions 23 in the axial direction X is secured, the clutch mechanism 4 can be suppressed from becoming large in the axial direction X.
The inclination angle θ 1 of the first opposing surface 15 and the inclination angle θ 2 of the second opposing surface 25 are preferably 5 ° or less. Thus, the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 can be prevented from becoming excessively thick in the axial direction X.
Further, the first opposing surface 15 and the second opposing surface 25 may be inclined in the second direction from the radially inner side toward the radially outer side. In this case, each of the projections 16 provided on the first opposing surface 15 extends along the first opposing surface 15 so that the height dimension H1 in the axial direction X is constant. The respective grooves 26 provided in the second opposing surface 25 extend along the second opposing surface 25 so that the depth dimension H2 in the axial direction X is constant. In such a case, the engagement distance of the protrusion 16 with the groove 26 can be increased. This can disperse the load applied to the projection 16, and therefore the allowable load of the projection 16 provided in the first clutch member 11 increases.
(application of Driving force Transmission mechanism to robot)
Fig. 7 is an explanatory view of a robot on which the driving force transmission mechanism 1 is mounted, fig. 7 shows a cross section of the robot 50 of the present invention, the robot 50 is an industrial robot, the robot 50 includes the driving force transmission mechanism 1, the driving source 2, an arm portion 51 connected to the output shaft 5 of the driving force transmission mechanism 1, and a support portion 52 for rotatably supporting the arm portion 51, the support portion 52 includes the driving source 2 and the driving force transmission mechanism 1, in this example, the support portion 52 includes the driving source 2, the transmission gear 3, the clutch mechanism 4, and the output shaft 5, the support portion 52 supports the output shaft 5 rotatably about an axis line L, the arm portion 51 is fixed to the output shaft 5 by a bolt 10, the arm portion 51 is the output member 6, and in this example, a workpiece placing portion 51a for carrying the workpiece W is provided at a front end of the arm portion 51.
According to the robot 50 of the present invention, when the drive source 2 is driven, the drive force from the drive source 2 is transmitted to the arm 51 via the drive force transmission mechanism 1, and thereby the arm 51 turns around the axis L, and the workpiece W is conveyed.
Here, although the transmission gear 3 rotates according to the driving of the driving source 2, when the swing of the arm portion 51 is prevented by an external force or the like, a load is applied to the clutch mechanism 4. When the load exceeds the predetermined torque, the second clutch member 12 is separated from the first clutch member 11 in the second direction X2, and the engagement between the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 and the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12 is released. Thereby, the transmission of the rotation between the first clutch member 11 and the second clutch member 12 is released, and therefore, the transmission of the driving force via the driving force transmission mechanism 1 is interrupted.
When the load applied to the clutch mechanism 4 decreases, the second clutch member 12 moves in the first direction X1 by the biasing force of the coil spring 13. Thus, when the protrusion 16 of the first clutch member 11 engages with the groove 26 of the second clutch member 12, the driving force from the driving source 2 is transmitted to the arm 51 via the driving force transmission mechanism 1 again. Thereby, the arm 51 is turned back, and the conveyance of the workpiece W is restarted.
