However, in this shaft joint, there are problems that not only the number of parts is increased, but also the entire device is easily enlarged. Therefore, in recent years, there has been developed an alternative shaft coupling using a metal plate or the like (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-189620).

As shown in FIG. 10, this shaft coupling is provided with a plurality of through holes 10 ... Through which bolts (fastening means) are inserted in circumferentially equidistant positions in a metal annular plate 9, and these are formed. In the insertion hole 10 ...
The shaft side coupling portions (not shown, but corresponding to the branch arms 5a and 6a in FIGS. 8 and 9) are coupled so as to alternate in the circumferential direction. The annular plate 9 is formed of a metal having a high rigidity to have a constant wall thickness, and is also formed in an annular shape having a constant radial width W. In addition, 11 in the figure is a washer used when fastening the bolt.

Therefore, if the area in the circumferential direction between the adjacent through holes 10, 10 on the annular plate 9 is called a connecting arm portion 9a, each connecting arm portion 9a is used for inputting the behavioral displacement in the axial direction. On the other hand, by elastically deforming in the bending direction, the behavioral displacement can be absorbed, and the torque can be rigidly transmitted to the input in the rotation direction (twisting direction) without deformation. Further, in the case of this shaft coupling, since the first shaft and the second shaft are centered via the annular plate 9 having high rigidity, it is not necessary to provide a special centering mechanism.

However, in this latter conventional shaft coupling, the wall thickness of the annular plate 9 is made thin or the connecting arm portion 9a is made thicker in order to enhance the behavior displacement absorption performance. Although it is necessary to increase the length to reduce the axial rigidity of each connecting arm portion 9a, there is a limit to reducing the wall thickness of the annular plate 9 as a whole, and the length of the connecting arm portion 9a is limited. If the length is increased, the outer diameter of the annular plate 9 becomes large, and the overall size of the shaft coupling is increased.

That is, when the annular plate 9 is displaced in the axial direction to absorb the displacement, the peripheral area of the bolt insertion hole 10 is abraded due to the relative displacement between the fastening means and the relative displacement between the annular plates 9 and 9. Although it occurs, if the thickness of the entire annular plate is reduced, the amount of wear with respect to the plate thickness increases, and thus the durability is likely to decrease.
The total thickness of the annular plate 9 cannot be made thinner than a certain degree. Further, if the length of the connecting arm portion 9a is simply increased, the outer diameter of the annular plate 9 is increased, and accordingly, the entire shaft coupling is increased in size.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, an annular plate having a great rigidity in a rotating direction is arranged at a butting portion of the first shaft and the second shaft, and the first shaft and the second shaft are arranged. Fastening means to the annular plate so that the first shaft side ones and the second shaft side ones are alternately arranged in the circumferential direction at the respective end parts of the Connecting portions through the insertion holes through which the fastening means formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the annular plate are connected to form a connecting arm portion, and the elastic deformation of each connecting arm causes an axial direction. In a vehicle shaft joint adapted to absorb the behavioral displacement of the above, a lightening hole is formed in the connecting arm portion, and the connecting arm portion is concentric with an annular plate connecting the centers of the two adjacent through holes. An outer arm located radially outside the imaginary line of the curve And an inner arm portion located radially inward of the imaginary line, and a notch hole is formed on a line connecting the center of the insertion hole of the inner arm portion and the center of the annular plate, and the meat A feature of the present invention is that a pair of connecting portions extending substantially in the radial direction of the annular plate is formed between the cutout hole and the cutout hole.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the lightening hole is formed in the connecting arm portion, the axial rigidity of the connecting arm portion can be reduced without reducing the thickness of the annular plate or increasing the diameter thereof. it can. Further, since the connecting arm portion is set to the outer arm portion and the inner arm portion on the radially outer side and the inner side with respect to the imaginary line, the tensile force or the pressing force acting between the adjacent insertion holes acts as a moment on one arm portion. Even if it works, the deformation of the arm portion is suppressed by the other arm portion.

In addition, since the notch is formed between the insertion hole and the center side of the annular plate, the rigidity of the insertion hole on the inner arm side is reduced, and the shaft acting near the insertion hole of the inner arm is formed. It is possible to disperse the concentrated stress at the time of directional displacement in both directions of the insertion hole.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the rigidity of the connecting portion is changed between the inner side (center side of the annular plate) and the outer side (insertion hole side), and the inner side rigidity is made smaller than the outer side. At the time of displacement, the flexural deformation of the inside increases, and the concentrated stress acting on the connecting portion can be further dispersed.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the portion located on the imaginary line between the adjacent insertion holes is formed by the small holes.
The torque transmission path is divided into elongated inner and outer portions, and the torque transmission path bypasses the small hole, so that the length becomes longer and the strength of this portion becomes smaller. Therefore, when a torsional torque acts in the rotational direction, the inner and outer portions are easily flexibly deformed, and the concentrated stress acting around the insertion hole due to the torsional torque can be dispersed.

Therefore, according to this shaft coupling, by providing the lightening hole 30, the radial width of the entire connecting arm portion 29 is narrowed, and each length of the inner and outer arm portions 29a, 29b is set to be long. Therefore, due to these synergistic effects, the rigidity in the axial direction of the connecting arm portion 29 can be sufficiently reduced, and the absorption performance of the behavioral displacement in the axial direction can be sufficiently enhanced.

Further, the shaft coupling is composed of an annular plate 24.
Since each of the connecting arm portions 29 is set as an outer arm portion 29a that passes radially outside the imaginary line p and an inner arm portion 29b that passes inside, the adjacent bolt insertion holes 2
The moment caused by the pulling force or the pressing force acting between the No. 5 and No. 25 does not cause the problem that the connecting arm portion 29 is buckled.

That is, as in the comparative example of FIG. 6, the connecting arm portion 29 is formed on the outer side or the inner side of the imaginary line p in the radial direction with the radial width thereof narrower than the radial width of the peripheral region of the insertion hole 25. For example, the rigidity in the axial direction can be set low, but if the connecting arm portion 29 is biased to either the outer side or the inner side of the imaginary line p in the radial direction in this way, the adjacent insertion holes 25, 25
The pulling force F 1 and the pressing force F 2 due to the rotational driving force that acts on each coupling arm portion 29 act as a moment. For example, as shown in the example of FIG.
When the formed radially outwardly pulling force F 1 is caused moment M 1 so as to separate the insertion hole 25 to each other starting from the substantially intermediate position of the connecting arm portion 29, the pressing force F 2
On the contrary, the insertion hole 2 with the substantially middle position of the connecting arm 29 as the base point

However, in this embodiment, since the connecting arm portion 29 is set separately for the outer arm portion 29a inside and outside the virtual line p and the inner arm portion 29b, one arm portion 29a (29b) is a comparative example. Even if a moment such as
a (29b) is a modification of the other arm portion 29b (29a)
Therefore, the occurrence of buckling as in the comparative example can be surely prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent reversal noise that occurs when the buckling portion returns to its original shape, and foreign matter from being caught between the annular plates 24.

Moreover, since the notch 32 is formed between the bolt insertion hole 25 and the circular hole 31, the bolt insertion hole 2 is formed.
5, the rigidity of the inner arm portion 29b side becomes smaller, and the concentrated stress acting in the vicinity of the bolt insertion hole 25 of the inner arm portion 29b at the time of axial displacement acting on the annular plate 24 is applied to both sides of the bolt insertion hole 25. It becomes possible to disperse.

Further, each connecting portion 33 is formed in a slender shape symmetrically with respect to the radial line S, and the width thereof is gradually smaller in the width W2 of the circular hole 31 side than in the width W1 of the bolt insertion hole 25 side. Since the rigidity of the connecting portion 33 is set to be smaller in the circular hole 31 than in the bolt insertion hole 25 side, the flexural deformation of the circular hole 31 side becomes large at the time of axial displacement, and the bolt insertion hole 25 side becomes larger. The concentrated stress acting on the connecting portion 33 from around 25 can be further dispersed.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 3 showing the distribution of such stress, when axial torque acts on the annular plate 24, first, the torque is applied to the notch hole 32 around the bolt insertion hole 25. Although it largely hangs near the side (circle A), since the rigidity of the inner arm portion 29b is reduced due to the presence of the notch hole 32, the inner arm portion 29b is easily flexed and deformed, and the vicinity of the side of FIG. As indicated by the pointed portion, the stress is separated and moved from the top portion 32a of the cutout hole 32 to both sides of the bolt insertion hole 25 in the direction of the lightening hole 30 and near the inner top portion of the triangular portion 30b of the lightening hole 30 to be dispersed.

On the side of the connecting portion 33, the vicinity of the side of the narrow circular hole 31 (location c in FIG. 3) is easily bent and deformed to absorb the stress, so that the stress applied to the vicinity of the bolt insertion hole 25 is reduced. It is possible to spread the concentration more widely.

That is, each of the lightening holes 40 is formed in a substantially rhombic shape, and is formed in a shape in which the outer triangular portion 40a and the inner triangular portion 40b are combined, and the outer triangular portion 40a is formed near the apex 40c. The imaginary line p is located, and the lower apex 40d of the inner triangular portion 40b is formed in an arc shape having a relatively small curvature.

On the other hand, a total of 12 small holes 41 are provided on the imaginary line p, and each small hole 41 is formed in a substantially elliptical shape along the inclination angle of one side of the adjacent outer triangular portion 40a. Therefore, since the outer arm portion 29a and the inner arm portion 29b of the connecting arm 29 are arranged so as to sandwich the small hole 41, the apparent length of the inner and outer portions of the inner and outer arm portions 29a, 29b around the small hole 41 is increased. Is getting longer. Other than that, the configurations of the cutout holes 32 and the connection portions 33, 33 are similar to those of the first embodiment.

Therefore, in the shaft coupling of this embodiment, basically, the same operational effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained, but the existence of each small hole 41 further causes the adjacent bolt insertion holes. The outer side arm portion 29a and the inner side arm portion 29b of the connecting arm portion 29 located on the imaginary line p between 25 are separately set to be elongated inner and outer portions around the small hole 41, and the torque transmission path (direction of arrow in FIG. 4) Each small hole 4
The length becomes longer by detouring 1. Therefore,
Since the strength of the inner and outer portions is reduced and the inner and outer portions are easily bent and deformed, it is possible to effectively absorb the torsion torque in the rotational direction that acts on the portion. Therefore, as indicated by the indicated points d and e in FIG. 5, the concentrated stress acting on the periphery of the bolt insertion hole 25 due to the twisting torque is generated in the vicinity of the tops 40c and 40d of the lightening holes 40 and in the small holes 41. It can be dispersed in the inner or outer position.

As described above, the invention described in claim 1 is
Since the lightening hole is formed in the connecting arm portion, the axial rigidity of the connecting arm portion can be reduced without reducing the thickness of the annular plate or increasing the diameter. Further, since the connecting arm portion is set to the outer arm portion and the inner arm portion on the radially outer side and the inner side with respect to the imaginary line, the tensile force or the pressing force acting between the adjacent insertion holes acts as a moment on one arm portion. Even if it works, the deformation of the arm portion is suppressed by the other arm portion.

In particular, since the notch is formed between the insertion hole and the center side of the annular plate, the rigidity of the insertion hole on the side of the inner arm portion is reduced, and when the axial displacement is made, the inner arm portion is close to the insertion hole. It becomes possible to disperse the concentrated stress acting on both sides of the insertion hole.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the rigidity of the connecting portion is changed between the inner side (center side of the annular plate) and the outer side (insertion hole side), so that the inner side rigidity is made smaller than the outer side rigidity.
