以上の問題点に鑑みて、本発明の課題は、駆動車の一方方向の回転によって従動車を双方向に回転させることのできる回転伝達機構およびダンパ装置を提供することにある。 In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a rotation transmission mechanism and a damper device capable of rotating a driven vehicle in both directions by rotating the driving vehicle in one direction.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る回転伝達機構は、第1軸線周りの一方側に回転する駆動車と、前記駆動車によって前記第1軸線と平行な第2軸線周りの一方側に回転駆動される従動車と、前記従動車を前記第2軸線周りの他方側に付勢する付勢部材と、
を有し、前記駆動車には、前記従動車を前記第2軸線周りの一方側に回転駆動する複数の駆動歯が周方向に配置された駆動歯形成部と、前記従動車が前記付勢部材による付勢力によって前記第2軸線周りの他方側に回転する際に前記従動車が摺動するカム面形成部と、が周方向で隣り合うように設けられ、前記従動車には、前記駆動車が前記第1軸線周りの一方側に回転した際に前記駆動歯が順に当接する複数の従動歯が一部の角度範囲に配置された従動歯形成部が設けられ、前記複数の駆動歯は各々、前記第1軸線方向の異なる位置に設けられ、前記複数の従動歯は各々、前記第2軸線方向の異なる位置に設けられていることを特徴とする。
In order to solve the above problems, the rotation transmission mechanism according to the present invention has a drive vehicle that rotates on one side around the first axis and one side around the second axis that is parallel to the first axis by the drive vehicle. A driven vehicle that is rotationally driven, and an urging member that urges the driven vehicle to the other side around the second axis.
The drive vehicle has a drive tooth forming portion in which a plurality of drive teeth for rotationally driving the driven vehicle on one side around the second axis are arranged in the circumferential direction, and the driven vehicle urges the driven vehicle. A cam surface forming portion on which the driven vehicle slides when rotating to the other side around the second axis by the urging force of the member is provided so as to be adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction.

本発明において、駆動車が第1軸線周りの一方側に回転すると、駆動歯が従動歯を介して従動車を第2軸線周りの一方側に駆動し、その後、駆動歯と従動歯との噛み合いが解除れると、従動車は、付勢部材の付勢力によって第2軸線周りの他方側に回転する。その際、従動歯は、駆動車に設けられたカム面形成部を摺動する。従って、駆動車の第1軸線周りの一方側のみに回転させる場合でも、従動車を第2軸線周りの一方側に回転駆動することができるとともに、従動車を第2軸線周りの他方側に回転させることができる。それ故、モータの制御回路等の構成を簡素化することができる。また、従動車を第2軸線周りの他方側に回転させる際には、付勢部材の付勢力を利用するが、その際には、従動歯が駆動車のカム面形成部を摺動するため、従動車が第2軸線周りの他方側に回転する際の速度等を制御することができる。さらに、複数の駆動歯および複数の従動歯が各々、軸線方向異なる位置に設けられているため、予定通りの組み合わせで駆動歯と従動歯とを噛み合わせることができる。それ故、従動車の角度位置を適正に制御することができる。 In the present invention, when the driving vehicle rotates to one side around the first axis, the driving teeth drive the driven vehicle to one side around the second axis via the driven teeth, and then the driving teeth and the driven teeth mesh with each other. When is released, the driven vehicle rotates to the other side around the second axis by the urging force of the urging member. At that time, the driven tooth slides on the cam surface forming portion provided on the driving vehicle. Therefore, even when the driven vehicle is rotated only on one side around the first axis, the driven vehicle can be rotationally driven to one side around the second axis and the driven vehicle is rotated to the other side around the second axis. Can be made to. Therefore, the configuration of the motor control circuit and the like can be simplified. Further, when rotating the driven vehicle to the other side around the second axis, the urging force of the urging member is used, but at that time, the driven teeth slide on the cam surface forming portion of the driving vehicle. , The speed at which the driven vehicle rotates to the other side around the second axis can be controlled. Further, since the plurality of driving teeth and the plurality of driven teeth are provided at different positions in the axial direction, the driving teeth and the driven teeth can be meshed with each other in a predetermined combination. Therefore, the angular position of the driven vehicle can be appropriately controlled.

(overall structure)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a damper device 1 to which the present invention is applied. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the damper device 1 shown in FIG. 1 with the cover removed. Note that FIG. 1 shows an open posture in which the baffle 4 rotates around the rotation center axis L on one side LCW and stands up, and the opening 20 is opened.

図1および図2に示すダンパ装置1は、冷蔵庫の冷気通路等において冷気の供給を制御する装置であって、矩形の開口部20が形成されたフレーム2と、フレーム2の開口部20を開閉するためのバッフル4と、バッフル4を駆動するバッフル駆動機構5とを有している。フレーム2は、冷気がZ方向に流れる筒部21と、バッフル駆動機構5が配置されている空間とを仕切る隔壁22を有しており、筒部21は、Z方向の両側に向けて開口している。バッフル駆動機構5は、フレーム2にフック機構によって連結されたカバー3によって覆われている。フレーム2およびカバー3は樹脂製である。 The damper device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a device that controls the supply of cold air in a cold air passage of a refrigerator or the like, and opens and closes a frame 2 having a rectangular opening 20 and an opening 20 of the frame 2. It has a baffle 4 for driving the baffle 4 and a baffle drive mechanism 5 for driving the baffle 4. The frame 2 has a partition wall 22 that separates a tubular portion 21 through which cold air flows in the Z direction and a space in which the baffle drive mechanism 5 is arranged, and the tubular portion 21 opens toward both sides in the Z direction. ing. The baffle drive mechanism 5 is covered with a cover 3 connected to the frame 2 by a hook mechanism. The frame 2 and the cover 3 are made of resin.

筒部21の内側には、斜めに傾いた枠状のシール部23が形成され、シール部23の内側が開口部20になっている。筒部21の内側において、バッフル4は、X方向に延在する回転中心軸線L周りに回転可能にフレーム2に支持されている。図1に示す状態で、バッフル4は、シール部23から離間し、開口部20を開放した開姿勢になっている。この状態から、バッフル駆動機構5がバッフル4を回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCWに回転駆動してバッフル4をシール部23に当接させると、バッフル4は、開口部20を塞いだ閉姿勢となる。本形態において、バッフル4は、開口部20よりサイズが大きな開閉板41と、開閉板41の開口部20側の面に貼り付けられた発泡ポリウレタン等からなるシート状の弾性部材42とを有しており、弾性部材42が開口部20の周り(シール部23)に当接して開口部20を塞ぐ。冷気は、開口部20に対してバッフル4が配置されている側(Z方向の一方側Z1)とは反対側(Z方向の他方側Z2)から開口部20を通ってZ方向の一方側Z1に流れる。あるいは、冷気は、開口部20に対してバッフル4が配置されている側(Z方向の一方側Z1)から開口部20を通ってZ方向の他方側Z2に流れる場合もある。 A frame-shaped seal portion 23 that is inclined at an angle is formed inside the tubular portion 21, and the inside of the seal portion 23 is an opening 20. Inside the tubular portion 21, the baffle 4 is rotatably supported by the frame 2 around the rotation center axis L extending in the X direction. In the state shown in FIG. 1, the baffle 4 is separated from the seal portion 23 and is in an open posture with the opening 20 open. From this state, when the baffle drive mechanism 5 rotationally drives the baffle 4 to the other side LCCW around the rotation center axis L to bring the baffle 4 into contact with the seal portion 23, the baffle 4 is in a closed posture in which the opening 20 is closed. It becomes. In the present embodiment, the baffle 4 has an opening / closing plate 41 having a size larger than that of the opening 20, and a sheet-shaped elastic member 42 made of polyurethane foam or the like attached to the surface of the opening / closing plate 41 on the opening 20 side. The elastic member 42 abuts around the opening 20 (seal portion 23) to close the opening 20. Cold air passes through the opening 20 from the side opposite to the side where the baffle 4 is arranged (one side Z1 in the Z direction) (the other side Z2 in the Z direction) with respect to the opening 20, and the one side Z1 in the Z direction. Flow to. Alternatively, cold air may flow from the side where the baffle 4 is arranged with respect to the opening 20 (one side Z1 in the Z direction) through the opening 20 to the other side Z2 in the Z direction.

(バッフル駆動機構5の構成)
図3は、図1に示すダンパ装置1の駆動部を回転中心軸線L方向の一方側からみた様子を示す説明図である。図2および図3に示すように、バッフル駆動機構5は、モータ50と、モータ50の回転をバッフル4に伝達するための伝達機構55とを有している。伝達機構55は、モータ50の出力軸51に形成されたウォーム52と、ウォーム52と噛み合うウォームホイール56と、ウォームホイール56に形成された歯車(図示せず)と噛み合う大径歯車571を備えた複合歯車57と、複合歯車57の小径歯車(図示せず)を介して、複合歯車57の回転が伝達される回転伝達機構10とを有しており、回転伝達機構10からバッフル4に回転が伝達される。モータ50としては各種モータを用いることができる。本形態においては、モータ50としてDCモータが用いられているため、制御が容易である。モータ50は、モータ軸線周りの一方方向の回転のみを出力する。本形態において、モータ50は、バッフル4を回転中心軸線L周りの一方側LCW(開方向)に回転させる方向のみに回転する。すなわち、モータ50は、後述する駆動車6を第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに駆動させる回転駆動力のみを出力する。
(Structure of baffle drive mechanism 5)
FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the drive unit of the damper device 1 shown in FIG. 1 is viewed from one side in the rotation center axis L direction. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the baffle drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 50 and a transmission mechanism 55 for transmitting the rotation of the motor 50 to the baffle 4. The transmission mechanism 55 includes a worm 52 formed on the output shaft 51 of the motor 50, a worm wheel 56 that meshes with the worm 52, and a large-diameter gear 571 that meshes with a gear (not shown) formed on the worm wheel 56. It has a composite gear 57 and a rotation transmission mechanism 10 for transmitting the rotation of the composite gear 57 via a small diameter gear (not shown) of the composite gear 57, and rotation is transmitted from the rotation transmission mechanism 10 to the baffle 4. Be transmitted. Various motors can be used as the motor 50. In this embodiment, since the DC motor is used as the motor 50, control is easy. The motor 50 outputs only one-way rotation around the motor axis. In this embodiment, the motor 50 rotates only in the direction in which the baffle 4 is rotated in one side LCW (opening direction) around the rotation center axis L. That is, the motor 50 outputs only the rotational driving force that drives the drive vehicle 6 described later to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1.

(回転伝達機構10の構成)
図4は、図1に示すダンパ装置1に用いた回転伝達機構10等の斜視図である。図4に示すように、回転伝達機構10は、バッフル4の回転中心軸線Lと平行にX方向に延在する第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに回転する駆動車6と、駆動車6によって第1軸線L1と平行な第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転駆動される従動車7と、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに付勢する付勢部材8とを有している。本形態
において、従動車7は、バッフル4に連結されている。従って、従動車7の回転中心軸線(第2軸線L2)は、バッフル4の回転中心軸線Lと一致している。それ故、回転伝達機構10において、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに回転すると、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの一方側LCWに回転するので、バッフル4は開姿勢となる。これに対して、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに回転しても、駆動車6による従動車7の回転駆動が停止すると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転する。従って、バッフル4は、回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCWに回転し、閉姿勢となり、それ以上の回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCWの回転は、フレーム2に設けられたストッパ等によって阻止される。
(Structure of rotation transmission mechanism 10)
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the rotation transmission mechanism 10 and the like used in the damper device 1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the rotation transmission mechanism 10 is composed of a drive vehicle 6 that rotates on one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 extending in the X direction in parallel with the rotation center axis L of the baffle 4, and a drive vehicle 6. It has a driven vehicle 7 that is rotationally driven by one side L2CW around the second axis L2 parallel to the first axis L1 and an urging member 8 that urges the driven vehicle 7 to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2. doing. In this embodiment, the driven vehicle 7 is connected to the baffle 4. Therefore, the rotation center axis (second axis L2) of the driven vehicle 7 coincides with the rotation center axis L of the baffle 4. Therefore, in the rotation transmission mechanism 10, when the driving vehicle 6 rotates to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1, the driven vehicle 7 rotates to one side L2CW around the second axis L2, and the baffle 4 rotates to the rotation center axis L. Since the baffle 4 rotates to one side LCW around it, the baffle 4 is in the open posture. On the other hand, even if the driving vehicle 6 rotates to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1, when the rotational driving of the driven vehicle 7 by the driving vehicle 6 is stopped, the driven vehicle 7 has an urging force of the urging member 8. Rotates to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2. Therefore, the baffle 4 rotates to the other side LCCW around the rotation center axis L and becomes a closed posture, and further rotation of the other side LCCW around the rotation center axis L is blocked by a stopper or the like provided on the frame 2. To.

図2および図4に示すように、付勢部材8は、フレーム2の筒部21の内壁210に形成された係合部211と、バッフル4の開閉板41の背面側(弾性部材42とは反対側)に形成された係合部411とに端部81、82が各々保持された捩りコイルバネ80からなる。かかる付勢部材8(捩りコイルバネ80)は、バッフル4を回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に付勢することによって、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに付勢している。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the urging member 8 has an engaging portion 211 formed on the inner wall 210 of the tubular portion 21 of the frame 2 and a back surface side (elastic member 42) of the opening / closing plate 41 of the baffle 4. It is composed of a torsion coil spring 80 in which end portions 81 and 82 are respectively held by an engaging portion 411 formed on the opposite side). The urging member 8 (twisting coil spring 80) urges the baffle 4 to the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L to attach the driven vehicle 7 to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2. It is gaining momentum.

なお、回転伝達機構10には、後述するように、駆動車6または従動車7(バッフル4)の角度位置を監視する位置検出器9が設けられている。 As will be described later, the rotation transmission mechanism 10 is provided with a position detector 9 that monitors the angular position of the driving vehicle 6 or the driven vehicle 7 (baffle 4).

(駆動歯66および従動歯76等の詳細構成)
本形態の回転伝達機構10において、駆動車6では、複数の駆動歯66が各々、第1軸線L1方向の異なる位置に配置されており、第1軸線L1方向に沿って多段に形成されている。かかる構成に対応して、複数の従動歯76は各々、第2軸線L2方向の異なる位置に設けられており、第2軸線L2方向に沿って多段に形成されている。
(Detailed configuration of driving tooth 66, driven tooth 76, etc.)
In the rotation transmission mechanism 10 of the present embodiment, in the drive vehicle 6, a plurality of drive teeth 66 are arranged at different positions in the first axis L1 direction, and are formed in multiple stages along the first axis L1 direction. .. Corresponding to such a configuration, the plurality of driven teeth 76 are provided at different positions in the second axis L2 direction, and are formed in multiple stages along the second axis L2 direction.

本形態において、駆動車6には、計4つの駆動歯66(第1駆動歯661、第2駆動歯662、第3駆動歯663、および第4駆動歯664)が第1軸線L1方向に沿って多段に形成されている。4つの駆動歯66は各々、第1軸線L1方向の各位置に1つずつ形成されており、第1軸線L1方向からみたとき、4つの駆動歯66は等角度間隔に形成されている。 In the present embodiment, the drive vehicle 6 has a total of four drive teeth 66 (first drive tooth 661, second drive tooth 662, third drive tooth 663, and fourth drive tooth 664) along the first axis L1 direction. It is formed in multiple stages. Each of the four drive teeth 66 is formed at each position in the first axis L1 direction, and the four drive teeth 66 are formed at equal angular intervals when viewed from the first axis L1 direction.

4つの駆動歯66のうち、第1軸線L1方向の最も一方側L1aに形成された第1駆動歯661は、第1軸線L1周りの最も他方側L1CWに配置されており、第1駆動歯661に対して第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに沿って第2駆動歯662、第3駆動歯663、および第4駆動歯664が順に配置されている。従って、4つの駆動歯66のうち、第1軸線L1方向の最も他方側L1bに形成された第4駆動歯664は、第1軸線L1周りの最も一方側L1CCWに位置する。それ故、複数の駆動歯66では、第1軸線L1方向の一方側L1aに位置する駆動歯66が第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bに位置する駆動歯66より第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに位置する。 Of the four drive teeth 66, the first drive tooth 661 formed on the most one side L1a in the direction of the first axis L1 is arranged on the most other side L1CW around the first axis L1 and is the first drive tooth 661. The second driving tooth 662, the third driving tooth 663, and the fourth driving tooth 664 are arranged in this order along one side L1CCW around the first axis L1. Therefore, of the four drive teeth 66, the fourth drive tooth 664 formed on the most opposite side L1b in the direction of the first axis L1 is located on the most one side L1CCW around the first axis L1. Therefore, in the plurality of drive teeth 66, the drive tooth 66 located on one side L1a in the first axis L1 direction is the other side around the first axis L1 from the drive tooth 66 located on the other side L1b in the first axis L1 direction. It is located at L1CW.

ここで、駆動車6は、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに回転した際のみ、駆動歯66が従動車7を駆動する。このため、4つの駆動歯66は、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの面が、インボリュート曲線をもつ歯面になっており、4つの駆動歯66の径方向外側の端部(歯先)から第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWは、4つの駆動歯66の径方向外側の端部から連続して延在する円周面になっている。また、駆動歯形成部660に対して第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに形成された円周面にカム面形成部670が構成されている。本形態では、4つの駆動歯66のうち、第2駆動歯662、第3駆動歯663、および第4駆動歯664の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの面は、単純なインボリュート曲線をもつ歯面になっている。これに対して、第1駆動歯661の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの面は、インボリュート曲線を基本にして径方向外側の端部の曲率半径を大きくしてある。このため、後述する動作を行った際、全開位置手前から全開位置への移行をスムーズに行うことができる。また、力の掛かる方向が急激に変化しないので、瞬間の衝撃音等を小さくすることができる。 Here, in the driving vehicle 6, the driving teeth 66 drive the driven vehicle 7 only when the driving vehicle 6 rotates to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1. Therefore, in the four drive teeth 66, the surface of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 is a tooth surface having an involute curve, and the radial outer ends (tooth tips) of the four drive teeth 66. The other side L1CW around the first axis L1 is a circumferential surface that extends continuously from the radial outer ends of the four drive teeth 66. Further, the cam surface forming portion 670 is formed on the circumferential surface formed on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 with respect to the driving tooth forming portion 660. In the present embodiment, of the four drive teeth 66, the surface of the second drive tooth 662, the third drive tooth 663, and one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the fourth drive tooth 664 has a simple involute curve. It is a tooth surface. On the other hand, the surface of the one-sided L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the first driving tooth 661 has a large radius of curvature at the outer end in the radial direction based on the involute curve. Therefore, when the operation described later is performed, the transition from the front of the fully open position to the fully open position can be smoothly performed. Further, since the direction in which the force is applied does not change suddenly, it is possible to reduce the instantaneous impact sound and the like.

従動車7には、計4つの従動歯76(第1従動歯761、第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、および第4従動歯764)が第2軸線L2方向に沿って多段に形成されている。第1軸線L1および第2軸線L2に対して直交する方向からみたとき、4つの従動歯76(第1従動歯761、第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、および第4従動歯764)は各々、4つの駆動歯66(第1駆動歯661、第2駆動歯662、第3駆動歯663、および第4駆動歯664)と重なっている。本形態において、計4つの従動歯76(第1従動歯761、第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、および第4従動歯764)は各々、第2軸線L2方向の各位置に1つずつ形成されており、第2軸線L2方向からみたとき、4つの従動歯76は等角度間隔に形成されている。 A total of four driven teeth 76 (first driven tooth 761, second driven tooth 762, third driven tooth 763, and fourth driven tooth 764) are formed in the driven vehicle 7 in multiple stages along the second axis L2 direction. Has been done. Four driven teeth 76 (first driven tooth 761, second driven tooth 762, third driven tooth 763, and fourth driven tooth 764) when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the first axis L1 and the second axis L2. Each overlaps four drive teeth 66 (first drive tooth 661, second drive tooth 662, third drive tooth 663, and fourth drive tooth 664). In this embodiment, a total of four driven teeth 76 (first driven tooth 761, second driven tooth 762, third driven tooth 763, and fourth driven tooth 764) are each one at each position in the second axis L2 direction. The four driven teeth 76 are formed at equal intervals when viewed from the second axis L2 direction.

4つの従動歯76のうち、第2軸線L2方向の最も一方側L2aに形成された第1従動歯761は、第2軸線L2周りの最も他方側L2CCWに配置されており、第1従動歯761から第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに向かって第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、および第4従動歯764が順に配置されている。従って、4つの従動歯76のうち、第2軸線L2方向の最も他方側L2bに形成された第4従動歯764は、第2軸線L2
周りの最も一方側L2CWに位置する。それ故、複数の従動歯76では、第2軸線L2方向の一方側L2aに位置する従動歯76が第2軸線L2方向の他方側L2bに位置する従動歯76より第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに位置する。
Of the four driven teeth 76, the first driven tooth 761 formed on the most one side L2a in the second axis L2 direction is arranged on the most opposite side L2CCW around the second axis L2, and the first driven tooth 761. The second driven tooth 762, the third driven tooth 763, and the fourth driven tooth 764 are arranged in this order from the second axis toward the one side L2CW around the second axis L2. Therefore, of the four driven teeth 76, the fourth driven tooth 764 formed on the most opposite side L2b in the second axis L2 direction is the second axis L2.
It is located on the most one side L2CW around. Therefore, in the plurality of driven teeth 76, the driven tooth 76 located on one side L2a in the second axis L2 direction is the other side around the second axis L2 from the driven tooth 76 located on the other side L2b in the second axis L2 direction. It is located at L2CCW.

ここで、従動歯76は、第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWからのみ駆動歯66が当接する。このため、4つの従動歯76(第1従動歯761、第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、および第4従動歯764)は、第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWの面が、インボリュート曲線をもつ歯面になっており、4つの従動歯76の径方向外側の端部(歯先)から第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWは、4つの従動歯76の径方向外側の端部から連続して延在する円周面になっている。 Here, the driven tooth 76 comes into contact with the driving tooth 66 only from the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2. Therefore, in the four driven teeth 76 (first driven tooth 761, second driven tooth 762, third driven tooth 763, and fourth driven tooth 764), the surface of the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 is inverted. It has a curved tooth surface, and one side L2CW around the second axis L2 from the radial outer end (tooth tip) of the four driven teeth 76 is the radial outer end of the four driven teeth 76. It is a circumferential surface that extends continuously from.

また、従動車7の従動歯形成部760には、複数の従動歯76より第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに、駆動車6が第1軸線L1線周りの一方側L1CCWに回転した際に駆動歯66が当接しない最終従動歯765が複数の従動歯76よりも第2軸線L2方向の他方側L2bに設けられている。 Further, when the driven tooth forming portion 760 of the driven vehicle 7 is rotated from the plurality of driven teeth 76 to one side L2CW around the second axis L2 and the driving vehicle 6 is rotated to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 line. The final driven tooth 765 with which the driving tooth 66 does not abut is provided on the other side L2b in the second axis L2 direction with respect to the plurality of driven teeth 76.

ここで、複数の従動歯76の各ピッチは等しい。これに対して、複数の従動歯76のうち、第2軸線L2周りの最も一方側L2CWに位置する第4従動歯764と最終従動歯765とのピッチは、複数の従動歯76のピッチより広い。例えば、第4従動歯764と最終従動歯765とのピッチは、複数の従動歯76のピッチの1.1倍から1.8倍であり、本形態では、第4従動歯764と最終従動歯765とのピッチは、複数の従動歯76のピッチの1.25倍である。 Here, the pitches of the plurality of driven teeth 76 are equal. On the other hand, among the plurality of driven teeth 76, the pitch between the fourth driven tooth 764 located at the most one side L2CW around the second axis L2 and the final driven tooth 765 is wider than the pitch of the plurality of driven teeth 76. .. For example, the pitch of the fourth driven tooth 764 and the final driven tooth 765 is 1.1 to 1.8 times the pitch of the plurality of driven teeth 76, and in this embodiment, the pitch of the fourth driven tooth 764 and the final driven tooth 764 and the final driven tooth 76. The pitch with 765 is 1.25 times the pitch of the plurality of driven teeth 76.

駆動車6において、カム面形成部670には、従動車7が付勢部材8による付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転する際に複数の従動歯76が順に摺動する複数のカム面67が第1軸線L1方向の異なる位置に配置されており、複数のカム面67は、第1軸線L1方向に沿って多段に形成されている。
(Detailed configuration of cam surface forming part)
In the drive vehicle 6, a plurality of driven teeth 76 slide in order on the cam surface forming portion 670 when the driven vehicle 7 is rotated to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. The cam surfaces 67 are arranged at different positions in the first axis L1 direction, and the plurality of cam surfaces 67 are formed in multiple stages along the first axis L1 direction.

本形態において、カム面形成部670には、4つの従動歯76に対応して4つのカム面67(第1カム面671、第2カム面672、第3カム面673および第4カム面674)が形成されている。また、カム面形成部670には、従動車7の最終従動歯765が当接する最終のカム面675が設けられている。従って、カム面形成部670には、計5つのカム面67が形成されており、第1軸線L1および第2軸線L2に対して直交する方向からみたとき、5つのカム面67(第1カム面671、第2カム面672、第3カム面673、第4カム面674、および最終のカム面675)は各々、4つの従動歯76(第1従動歯761、第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、および第4従動歯764)および最終従動歯765と重なっている。 In the present embodiment, the cam surface forming portion 670 has four cam surfaces 67 (first cam surface 671, second cam surface 672, third cam surface 673, and fourth cam surface 674) corresponding to the four driven teeth 76. ) Is formed. Further, the cam surface forming portion 670 is provided with a final cam surface 675 to which the final driven tooth 765 of the driven vehicle 7 comes into contact. Therefore, a total of five cam surfaces 67 are formed on the cam surface forming portion 670, and when viewed from a direction orthogonal to the first axis L1 and the second axis L2, the five cam surfaces 67 (first cam). The surface 671, the second cam surface 672, the third cam surface 673, the fourth cam surface 674, and the final cam surface 675) have four driven teeth 76 (first driven tooth 761, second driven tooth 762, first), respectively. It overlaps with the 3 driven tooth 763, the 4th driven tooth 764), and the final driven tooth 765.

5つのカム面67のうち、第1軸線L1方向の最も一方側L1aに形成された第1カム面671は、第1軸線L1周りの最も一方側L1CCWに配置されており、第1カム面671に対して第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに沿って第2カム面672、第3カム面673、第4カム面674、および最終のカム面675が順に配置されている。従って、5つのカム面67のうち、第1軸線L1方向の最も他方側L1bに形成された最終のカム面675は、第1軸線L1周りの最も他方側L1CWに位置する。それ故、複数のカム面67では、第1軸線L1方向の一方側L1aに位置するカム面67が第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bに位置するカム面67より第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに位置している。 Of the five cam surfaces 67, the first cam surface 671 formed on the most one side L1a in the direction of the first axis L1 is arranged on the most one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 and is arranged on the first cam surface 671. A second cam surface 672, a third cam surface 673, a fourth cam surface 674, and a final cam surface 675 are arranged in this order along the other side L1CW around the first axis L1. Therefore, of the five cam surfaces 67, the final cam surface 675 formed on the most opposite side L1b in the first axis L1 direction is located on the most opposite side L1CW around the first axis L1. Therefore, in the plurality of cam surfaces 67, the cam surface 67 located on one side L1a in the first axis L1 direction is one side around the first axis L1 from the cam surface 67 located on the other side L1b in the first axis L1 direction. It is located at L1CCW.

5つのカム面67はいずれも、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWから他方側L1C
Wに円弧状に延在した円弧面からなり、周方向の一部に従動歯76が摺動する。このため、5つのカム面67はいずれも、周方向で隣り合うカム面同士は、一定の角度範囲で重なっている。本形態において、第1カム面671は、第1駆動歯661の径方向外側の端部から周方向に延在している。また、複数のカム面67はいずれも、第1軸線L1周りの最も一方側L1CCWの端部が第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWで隣り合うカム面67より径方向外側に位置する。
All of the five cam surfaces 67 are from one side L1CCW to the other side L1C around the first axis L1.
It is composed of an arcuate surface extending in an arc shape on W, and a part of the driven tooth 76 in the circumferential direction slides. Therefore, all of the five cam surfaces 67 overlap with each other in the circumferential direction within a certain angle range. In the present embodiment, the first cam surface 671 extends in the circumferential direction from the radially outer end of the first drive tooth 661. Further, in each of the plurality of cam surfaces 67, the end portion of the most one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 is located radially outside the adjacent cam surfaces 67 on the one side L1CCW around the first axis L1.

本形態において、5つのカム面67はいずれも、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWから他方側L1CWに向けて縮径し、駆動歯66の歯底の延長線上に位置する第1胴部62の外周面に到達している。また、最終のカム面675は、他のカム面67(第1カム面671、第2カム面672、第3カム面673および第4カム面674)より、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに位置する部分の外径の周方向での減少率が小さく、かつ、第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに位置する部分の外径の周方向での減少率が大きい。また、第2カム面672は、第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに設けられたカム面67(第3カム面673、第4カム面674、および最終のカム面675)より第1軸線L1周りの最も一方側L1CCWの端部が径方向内側に位置する。従って、後述する動作を行う際、第2従動歯762より後段の第3従動歯763、第4従動歯764、および最終従動歯765は、第2カム面672から第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bに延在している部分と干渉しない。 In the present embodiment, all of the five cam surfaces 67 have a diameter reduced from one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 toward the other side L1CW, and the first body portion 62 is located on the extension line of the tooth bottom of the drive tooth 66. Has reached the outer peripheral surface of. Further, the final cam surface 675 is one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 from the other cam surfaces 67 (first cam surface 671, second cam surface 672, third cam surface 673 and fourth cam surface 674). The reduction rate of the outer diameter of the portion located in the circumferential direction is small, and the reduction rate of the outer diameter of the portion located on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 is large in the circumferential direction. Further, the second cam surface 672 is the first axis L1 from the cam surface 67 (third cam surface 673, fourth cam surface 674, and final cam surface 675) provided on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1. The end of the one-sided L1CCW around it is located radially inward. Therefore, when performing the operation described later, the third driven tooth 763, the fourth driven tooth 764, and the final driven tooth 765, which are located after the second driven tooth 762, are on the other side of the second cam surface 672 in the direction of the first axis L1. It does not interfere with the part extending to L1b.

また、本形態では、図9および図10を参照して後述するように、複数の従動歯76が複数のカム面67に対して順に摺動する各区間の間には、現在の区間の従動歯76がカム面に接しているうちに、次の区間の従動歯76または最終従動歯765がカム面67に対して接するように構成されている。 Further, in the present embodiment, as will be described later with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the driven of the current section is between the sections in which the plurality of driven teeth 76 slide in order with respect to the plurality of cam surfaces 67. While the tooth 76 is in contact with the cam surface, the driven tooth 76 or the final driven tooth 765 in the next section is configured to be in contact with the cam surface 67.

(位置検出器9の構成)
図4に示すように、本形態の回転伝達機構10には、駆動車6または従動車7(バッフル4)の角度位置を監視する位置検出器9が設けられている。本形態において、位置検出器9は、駆動車6の角度位置を監視するように構成されている。
(Configuration of position detector 9)
As shown in FIG. 4, the rotation transmission mechanism 10 of the present embodiment is provided with a position detector 9 that monitors the angular position of the driving vehicle 6 or the driven vehicle 7 (baffle 4). In this embodiment, the position detector 9 is configured to monitor the angular position of the driving vehicle 6.

位置検出器9は、駆動車6の第2胴部63に設けられたセンサ用カム面630によって変位する回転レバー91と、回転レバー91の変位によってオンオフが行われるスイッチ92とを有している。センサ用カム面630は、第1軸線L1の他方側L1CWに沿って、小径部631、拡径部634、大径部632および縮径部635が設けられている。 The position detector 9 has a rotary lever 91 that is displaced by a sensor cam surface 630 provided on the second body portion 63 of the drive vehicle 6, and a switch 92 that is turned on and off by the displacement of the rotary lever 91. .. The sensor cam surface 630 is provided with a small diameter portion 631, an enlarged diameter portion 634, a large diameter portion 632, and a reduced diameter portion 635 along the other side L1CW of the first axis L1.

スイッチ92、は例えばタクトスイッチである。回転レバー91は、フレーム2の隔壁22に形成された円筒部によって回転可能に支持された支軸910と、支軸910から駆動車6のセンサ用カム面630に向けて突出した第1アーム部911と、支軸910からスイッチ92に向けて突出した第2アーム部912とを有している。第1アーム部911の先端部は、センサ用カム面630に摺動する円形の第1当接部913になっており、第2アーム部912の先端部は、スイッチ92に当接する第2当接部914になっている。 The switch 92 is, for example, a tact switch. The rotary lever 91 has a support shaft 910 rotatably supported by a cylindrical portion formed on the partition wall 22 of the frame 2, and a first arm portion protruding from the support shaft 910 toward the sensor cam surface 630 of the drive vehicle 6. It has a 911 and a second arm portion 912 protruding from the support shaft 910 toward the switch 92. The tip of the first arm 911 is a circular first contact 913 that slides on the sensor cam surface 630, and the tip of the second arm 912 is the second contact that comes into contact with the switch 92. It is a tangent part 914.

回転レバー91に対しては、カバー3によって支持された捩りコイルバネ93が設けられている。捩りコイルバネ93の一方の端部931はカバー3に支持され、捩りコイルバネ93の他方の端部932は、回転レバー91の第2アーム部912の先端部に支持されている。従って、第2アーム部912の先端部(第2当接部914)は、捩りコイルバネ93によってスイッチ92に向けて付勢されている。それ故、第1アーム部911の先端部(第1当接部913)がセンサ用カム面630の小径部631に当接している区間では、第2アーム部912の第2当接部914がスイッチ92を押圧する一方、第1アーム部911の先端部(第1当接部913)がセンサ用カム面630の大径部632に当接して
いる区間では、第2アーム部912の第2当接部914がスイッチ92から離間する。従って、スイッチ92のオンオフを監視すれば、駆動車6の角度位置を検出することができ、それ故、従動車7およびバッフル4の角度位置を監視することができる。
A torsion coil spring 93 supported by the cover 3 is provided on the rotary lever 91. One end 931 of the torsion coil spring 93 is supported by the cover 3, and the other end 932 of the torsion coil spring 93 is supported by the tip of the second arm 912 of the rotary lever 91. Therefore, the tip end portion (second contact portion 914) of the second arm portion 912 is urged toward the switch 92 by the torsion coil spring 93. Therefore, in the section where the tip end portion (first contact portion 913) of the first arm portion 911 is in contact with the small diameter portion 631 of the sensor cam surface 630, the second contact portion 914 of the second arm portion 912 is In the section where the tip portion (first contact portion 913) of the first arm portion 911 is in contact with the large diameter portion 632 of the sensor cam surface 630 while pressing the switch 92, the second arm portion 912 is in contact with the second arm portion 912. The contact portion 914 is separated from the switch 92. Therefore, by monitoring the on / off of the switch 92, the angular position of the driving vehicle 6 can be detected, and therefore the angular position of the driven vehicle 7 and the baffle 4 can be monitored.

本形態において、位置検出器9は、図12を参照して後述するように、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの最も一方側L2CWに回転した後、そこで停止している第1区間の途中位置でスイッチ92からの出力が切り換わるとともに、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの最も他方側L2CCWに回転した後、そこで停止している第2区間の途中位置でスイッチ92からの出力が切り換わる。 In the present embodiment, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 12, the position detector 9 is in the middle of the first section in which the driven vehicle 7 rotates to the most one side L2CW around the second axis L2 and then stops there. The output from the switch 92 is switched at the position, and after the driven vehicle 7 rotates to the farthest side L2CCW around the second axis L2, the output from the switch 92 is cut off at the middle position of the second section where the driven vehicle 7 is stopped. It will change.

(回転伝達機構10の動作)
図10、図11および図12を参照して、駆動車6の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWによって、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転させた後、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転させる動作を説明する。図10は、図5に示す従動車7を第2軸線L2周り一方側L2CWに回転させる様子を示す説明図である。図11は、図5に示す従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転させる様子を示す説明図である。図12は、図5に示す駆動車6の角度位置とバッフル4の開度との関係を示す説明図であり、図12には、バッフル4の開度を実線で示し、位置検出器9のスイッチ92からの出力の変化を一点鎖線で示してある。また、図10および図11において、駆動車6と従動車7との接触部分は、太線や黒丸で示してある。

FIG. 10 is an explanatory view showing how the driven vehicle 7 shown in FIG. 5 is rotated around the second axis L2 to one side L2CW. FIG. 11 is an explanatory view showing how the driven vehicle 7 shown in FIG. 5 is rotated to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2. FIG. 12 is an explanatory view showing the relationship between the angular position of the drive vehicle 6 shown in FIG. 5 and the opening degree of the baffle 4, and FIG. 12 shows the opening degree of the baffle 4 with a solid line of the position detector 9. The change in the output from the switch 92 is shown by the alternate long and short dash line. Further, in FIGS. 10 and 11, the contact portion between the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 is indicated by a thick line or a black circle.

図10(a)には、バッフル4が閉姿勢にある状態が示されており、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの最も他方側L2CCWに回転した後、停止している状態にある。この状態で、バッフル4は、図4等に示す付勢部材8によって閉方向に付勢されているが、バッフル4等に対して設けられたストッパによって、これ以上、バッフル4が閉姿勢に回転しないようになっている。 FIG. 10A shows a state in which the baffle 4 is in the closed posture, and the driven vehicle 7 is in a stopped state after rotating to the most opposite side L2CCW around the second axis L2. In this state, the baffle 4 is urged in the closing direction by the urging member 8 shown in FIG. 4 and the like, but the baffle 4 is further rotated to the closed posture by the stopper provided for the baffle 4 and the like. It is designed not to be done.

この状態から、図3に示すモータ50が作動して、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWに回転しても、図10(b)に示すように、駆動車6の第4駆動歯664が従動車7の第4従動歯764に当接するまでの区間(図12に示す区間a)では、従動車7およびバッフル4は停止した状態にある。 From this state, even if the motor 50 shown in FIG. 3 operates and the driving vehicle 6 rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, as shown in FIG. 10B, the fourth driving vehicle 6 In the section until the drive tooth 664 comes into contact with the fourth driven tooth 764 of the driven vehicle 7 (section a shown in FIG. 12), the driven vehicle 7 and the baffle 4 are in a stopped state.

そして、駆動車6の第4駆動歯664が従動車7の第4従動歯764に当接すると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力に抗して第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転し始める。従って、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの一方側LCW(開方向)に回転する。次に、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、図10(c)に示すように、駆動車6の第3駆動歯663が従動車7の第3従動歯763に当接し、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力に抗して第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転する。従って、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの一方側LCW(開方向)にさらに回転する。次に、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、図10(d)に示すように、駆動車6の第2駆動歯662が従動車7の第2従動歯762に当接し、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力に抗して第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転する。従って、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの一方側LCW(開方向)にさらに回転する。次に、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、図10(e)に示すように、駆動車6の第1駆動歯661が従動車7の第1従動歯761に当接し、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力に抗して第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転する。従って、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの一方側LCW(開方向)にさらに回転する。そして、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、図10(f)に示すように、駆動車6の第1駆動歯661の歯先が従動車7の第1従動歯761の歯先に乗り上げるまで、従動車7が付勢部材8の付勢力に抗して第2軸線L2周りの
一方側L2CWに回転し、バッフル4が開姿勢となる。
Then, when the fourth drive tooth 664 of the drive vehicle 6 comes into contact with the fourth driven tooth 764 of the driven vehicle 7, the driven vehicle 7 opposes the urging force of the urging member 8 and causes one side around the second axis L2. It starts to rotate to L2CW. Therefore, the baffle 4 rotates in one side LCW (opening direction) around the rotation center axis L. Next, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, as shown in FIG. 10C, the third driving tooth 663 of the driving vehicle 6 becomes the third driven tooth 763 of the driven vehicle 7. The driven vehicle 7 rotates against the urging force of the urging member 8 to one side L2CW around the second axis L2. Therefore, the baffle 4 further rotates in the one-sided LCW (opening direction) around the rotation center axis L. Next, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, as shown in FIG. 10D, the second driving tooth 662 of the driving vehicle 6 becomes the second driven tooth 762 of the driven vehicle 7. The driven vehicle 7 rotates against the urging force of the urging member 8 to one side L2CW around the second axis L2. Therefore, the baffle 4 further rotates in the one-sided LCW (opening direction) around the rotation center axis L. Next, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, as shown in FIG. 10 (e), the first driving tooth 661 of the driving vehicle 6 becomes the first driven tooth 761 of the driven vehicle 7. The driven vehicle 7 rotates against the urging force of the urging member 8 to one side L2CW around the second axis L2. Therefore, the baffle 4 further rotates in the one-sided LCW (opening direction) around the rotation center axis L. Then, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, as shown in FIG. 10 (f), the tooth tips of the first driving teeth 661 of the driving vehicle 6 are the first driven vehicles of the driven vehicle 7. The driven vehicle 7 rotates to one side L2CW around the second axis L2 against the urging force of the urging member 8 until it rides on the tip of the tooth 761, and the baffle 4 is in the open posture.

次に、図11(a)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWに回転すると、駆動車6の第1駆動歯661と従動車7の第1従動歯761との係合が解除されるので、従動車7は、図4等に示す付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転しようとする。但し、第1従動歯761が第1カム面671に当接しているため、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転することが阻止され、第2軸線L2周りの最も一方側L2CWで停止した状態が維持される(図12に示す区間b)。従って、バッフル4も開姿勢のまま停止している。 Next, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the driving vehicle 6 rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the first driving tooth 661 of the driving vehicle 6 and the first driven tooth 761 of the driven vehicle 7 The driven vehicle 7 tries to rotate to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8 shown in FIG. 4 or the like. However, since the first driven tooth 761 is in contact with the first cam surface 671, the driven vehicle 7 is prevented from rotating to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2, and the most one side around the second axis L2. The state of being stopped at L2CW is maintained (section b shown in FIG. 12). Therefore, the baffle 4 is also stopped in the open posture.

そして、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転しても、第1従動歯761が、第1カム面671の第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWの部分で第1カム面671が縮径している部分に到達するまでは、従動車7およびバッフル4は停止している。そして、停止区間(図12に示す区間b)の途中で、図4に示す位置検出器9では、回転レバー91の第1当接部913がセンサ用カム面630の大径部632から縮径部635を通って小径部631に移動する。従って、スイッチ92からの出力がオフからオンに切り換わる。 Then, even if the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the first driven tooth 761 is the first cam at the portion of the first cam surface 671 on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1. The driven vehicle 7 and the baffle 4 are stopped until the surface 671 reaches the reduced diameter portion. Then, in the middle of the stop section (section b shown in FIG. 12), in the position detector 9 shown in FIG. 4, the first contact portion 913 of the rotary lever 91 is reduced in diameter from the large diameter portion 632 of the sensor cam surface 630. It moves to the small diameter portion 631 through the portion 635. Therefore, the output from the switch 92 is switched from off to on.

次に、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転し、第1従動歯761が、第1カム面671の第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWの部分で第1カム面671が縮径している部分に到達すると、従動車7は、図4等に示す付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し始める。従って、バッフル4は、回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転し始める。 Next, the drive vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, and the first driven tooth 761 is a portion of the first cam surface 671 on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 and the first cam surface. When the 671 reaches the reduced diameter portion, the driven vehicle 7 starts to rotate to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8 shown in FIG. 4 or the like. Therefore, the baffle 4 starts to rotate in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L.

次に、図11(b)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7が付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第1従動歯761が第1カム面671に接触した状態で、第2従動歯762が第2カム面672に接触する。次に、図11(c)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第2従動歯762が第2カム面672を摺動する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 11B, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is further rotated around the first axis L1 to the other side around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the second driven tooth 762 comes into contact with the second cam surface 672 while the first driven tooth 761 is in contact with the first cam surface 671. Next, as shown in FIG. 11C, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is moved around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the other side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the second driven tooth 762 slides on the second cam surface 672.

次に、図11(d)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7が付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第2従動歯762が第2カム面672に接触した状態で、第3従動歯763が第3カム面673に接触する。次に、図11(e)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第3従動歯763が第3カム面673を摺動する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 11D, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is further rotated around the first axis L1 to the other side around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the third driven tooth 763 comes into contact with the third cam surface 673 while the second driven tooth 762 is in contact with the second cam surface 672. Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (e), when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is moved around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the other side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the third driven tooth 763 slides on the third cam surface 673.

次に、図11(f)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7が付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第3従動歯763が第3カム面673に接触した状態で、第4従動歯764が第4カム面674に接触する。次に、図11(g)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力に
よって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第4従動歯764が第4カム面674を摺動する。
Next, as shown in FIG. 11F, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is further rotated around the first axis L1 to the other side around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the fourth driven tooth 764 comes into contact with the fourth cam surface 674 while the third driven tooth 763 is in contact with the third cam surface 673. Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (g), when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is moved around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the other side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the fourth driven tooth 764 slides on the fourth cam surface 674.

次に、図11(h)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7が付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、第4従動歯764が第4カム面674に接触した状態で、最終従動歯765が最終のカム面675に接触する。次に、図11(i)に示すように、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、バッフル4が回転中心軸線L周りの他方側LCCW(閉方向)に回転する。その際、最終従動歯765が最終のカム面675を摺動する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 11H, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is further rotated around the first axis L1 to the other side around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the final driven tooth 765 comes into contact with the final cam surface 675 while the fourth driven tooth 764 is in contact with the fourth cam surface 674. Next, as shown in FIG. 11 (i), when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 is moved around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the other side L2CCW, and the baffle 4 rotates in the other side LCCW (closed direction) around the rotation center axis L. At that time, the final driven tooth 765 slides on the final cam surface 675.

そして、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、従動車7は、最終従動歯765が最終のカム面675を外れるまで第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転し、その後、停止する。従って、バッフル4は閉姿勢の状態で停止する。その間、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転しても、図10(b)に示すように、第4駆動歯664が第4従動歯764に当接するまでは、従動車7およびバッフル4は停止している(図12に示す区間a)。そして、停止区間の途中で、図4に示す位置検出器9に用いた回転レバー91の第1当接部913がセンサ用カム面630の小径部631から拡径部634を通って大径部632に移動する。従って、スイッチ92からの出力は、オンからオフに切り換わる。 Then, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the driven vehicle 7 rotates to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 until the final driven tooth 765 deviates from the final cam surface 675. , Then stop. Therefore, the baffle 4 stops in the closed posture. During that time, even if the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, as shown in FIG. 10B, the driving vehicle 6 is driven until the fourth driving tooth 664 comes into contact with the fourth driven tooth 764. The car 7 and the baffle 4 are stopped (section a shown in FIG. 12). Then, in the middle of the stop section, the first contact portion 913 of the rotary lever 91 used for the position detector 9 shown in FIG. 4 passes from the small diameter portion 631 of the sensor cam surface 630 to the large diameter portion 634 to the large diameter portion. Move to 632. Therefore, the output from the switch 92 switches from on to off.

以降、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りに一方側L1CCWにさらに回転すると、上記の動作が繰り返し行われる。 After that, when the driving vehicle 6 further rotates around the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW, the above operation is repeated.

(本形態の主な効果)
以上説明したように、本形態の回転伝達機構10およびダンパ装置1では、駆動車6が第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに回転すると、駆動歯66が従動歯76を介して従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに駆動し、その後、駆動歯66と従動歯76との噛み合いが解除されると、従動車7は、付勢部材8の付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転する。その際、従動車7は、駆動車6に設けられたカム面形成部670を摺動する。従って、駆動車6の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWのみに回転させた場合でも、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWに回転駆動することができるとともに、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転させることができる。それ故、モータ50の制御回路等の構成を簡素化することができる。また、モータ50として、一方方向にのみ回転する安価なモータを用いることができる。
(Main effect of this form)
As described above, in the rotation transmission mechanism 10 and the damper device 1 of the present embodiment, when the driving vehicle 6 rotates to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1, the driving teeth 66 move the driven vehicle 7 via the driven teeth 76. When the drive is driven to one side L2CW around the second axis L2 and then the engagement between the drive tooth 66 and the driven tooth 76 is released, the driven vehicle 7 is driven around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. It rotates to the other side L2CCW. At that time, the driven vehicle 7 slides on the cam surface forming portion 670 provided on the driving vehicle 6. Therefore, even when the driven vehicle 6 is rotated only on one side L1CCW around the first axis L1, the driven vehicle 7 can be rotationally driven to one side L2CW around the second axis L2, and the driven vehicle 7 can be driven to the first side. It can be rotated to the other side L2CCW around the two-axis line L2. Therefore, the configuration of the control circuit and the like of the motor 50 can be simplified. Further, as the motor 50, an inexpensive motor that rotates only in one direction can be used.

また、従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転させる際には、付勢部材8の付勢力を利用するが、その際には、従動車7が駆動車6のカム面形成部670を摺動する。このため、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転する際の速度等を制御することができる。 Further, when rotating the driven vehicle 7 to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2, the urging force of the urging member 8 is used. At that time, the driven vehicle 7 forms the cam surface of the driving vehicle 6. The portion 670 is slid. Therefore, it is possible to control the speed or the like when the driven vehicle 7 rotates to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2.

さらに、複数の駆動歯66および複数の従動歯76が各々、軸線方向で異なる位置に設けられているため、予定通りの組み合わせで駆動歯66と従動歯76とを噛み合わせることができる。従って、従動車7の角度位置を適正に制御することができる。しかも、第1軸線L1方向の各位置に駆動歯66が1つずつ設けられ、第2軸線L2方向の各位置に従動歯76が1つずつ設けられている。このため、予定通りの組み合わせで駆動歯66と従動歯76とを噛み合わせることができるので、従動車の角度位置をより適正に制御するこ
とができる。
Further, since the plurality of driving teeth 66 and the plurality of driven teeth 76 are provided at different positions in the axial direction, the driving teeth 66 and the driven teeth 76 can be meshed with each other in a predetermined combination. Therefore, the angular position of the driven vehicle 7 can be appropriately controlled. Moreover, one drive tooth 66 is provided at each position in the first axis L1 direction, and one driven tooth 76 is provided at each position in the second axis L2 direction. Therefore, since the driving teeth 66 and the driven teeth 76 can be meshed with each other in the expected combination, the angular position of the driven vehicle can be controlled more appropriately.

また、カム面形成部670には、従動車7が付勢部材8による付勢力によって第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転する際に複数の従動歯76が順に摺動する複数のカム面67が第1軸線L1方向の異なる位置に設けられている。このため、付勢部材8の付勢力によって従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転させる際、複数の従動歯76が複数のカム面67に順に摺動するので、付勢部材8の付勢力によって従動車7を第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに回転させる際、広い角度範囲にわたって、従動車7の回転速度等を制御することができる。 Further, on the cam surface forming portion 670, a plurality of cam surfaces on which a plurality of driven teeth 76 slide in order when the driven vehicle 7 rotates to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8. 67 are provided at different positions in the direction of the first axis L1. Therefore, when the driven vehicle 7 is rotated to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 by the urging force of the urging member 8, the plurality of driven teeth 76 slide in order on the plurality of cam surfaces 67, so that the urging member When the driven vehicle 7 is rotated to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 by the urging force of 8, the rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 can be controlled over a wide angle range.

また、複数のカム面67は、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWから他方側L1CWに向かって外径が縮小しているため、複数の従動歯76をスムーズに複数のカム面67に順に摺動させることができる。 Further, since the outer diameters of the plurality of cam surfaces 67 are reduced from one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 toward the other side L1CW, the plurality of driven teeth 76 are smoothly slid onto the plurality of cam surfaces 67 in order. Can be moved.

また、駆動歯形成部660では、第1軸線L1方向の各位置に駆動歯66が1つずつ設けられ、従動歯形成部760では、第2軸線L2方向の各位置に従動歯76が1つずつ設けられている。このため、駆動歯66と従動歯76との間に異物が挟まっても、異物が容易に外れるという利点がある。 Further, in the drive tooth forming portion 660, one drive tooth 66 is provided at each position in the first axis L1 direction, and in the driven tooth forming portion 760, one driven tooth 76 is provided at each position in the second axis L2 direction. It is provided one by one. Therefore, even if a foreign matter is caught between the driving tooth 66 and the driven tooth 76, there is an advantage that the foreign matter can be easily removed.

また、複数の従動歯76が複数のカム面67に対して順に摺動する各区間の間では、現区間の従動歯76がカム面67に接しているうちに、次区間の従動歯76がカム面67に接し始めるため、複数の従動歯76をスムーズに複数のカム面67に順に摺動させることができる。従って、従動歯76とカム面67とが摺動する組み合わせが切り換わる際に従動車7が急速に回転する等の事態が発生しにくい。 Further, between the sections in which the plurality of driven teeth 76 slide in order with respect to the plurality of cam surfaces 67, the driven teeth 76 in the next section are in contact with the cam surface 67 while the driven teeth 76 in the current section are in contact with the cam surface 67. Since it starts to come into contact with the cam surface 67, the plurality of driven teeth 76 can be smoothly slid on the plurality of cam surfaces 67 in order. Therefore, when the combination in which the driven tooth 76 and the cam surface 67 slide is switched, the driven vehicle 7 is unlikely to rotate rapidly.

また、複数の駆動歯66では、第1軸線L1方向の一方側L1aに位置する駆動歯66が第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bに位置する駆動歯66より第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに位置する。また、複数の従動歯76では、第2軸線L2方向の一方側L2aに位置する従動歯76が第2軸線L2方向の他方側L2bに位置する従動歯76より第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに位置する。また、複数のカム面67では、第1軸線L1方向の一方側L1aに位置するカム面67が第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bに位置するカム面67より第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWに位置する。従って、複数の駆動歯66、複数の従動歯76、および複数のカム面67を階段状に形成することができるので、駆動車6および従動車7の製作が容易である。また、駆動車6と従動車7との位置関係等が軸線方向でずれても、駆動歯66が予定外の従動歯76に当接する等の事態が発生しにくい。 Further, in the plurality of drive teeth 66, the drive tooth 66 located on one side L1a in the first axis L1 direction is the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 from the drive tooth 66 located on the other side L1b in the first axis L1 direction. Located in. Further, in the plurality of driven teeth 76, the driven tooth 76 located on one side L2a in the second axis L2 direction is the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 from the driven tooth 76 located on the other side L2b in the second axis L2 direction. Located in. Further, in the plurality of cam surfaces 67, the cam surface 67 located on one side L1a in the first axis L1 direction is one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 from the cam surface 67 located on the other side L1b in the first axis L1 direction. Located in. Therefore, since the plurality of driving teeth 66, the plurality of driven teeth 76, and the plurality of cam surfaces 67 can be formed in a stepped manner, the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 can be easily manufactured. Further, even if the positional relationship between the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 deviates in the axial direction, a situation such as the driving tooth 66 coming into contact with the driven tooth 76 that is not planned is unlikely to occur.

また、従動歯形成部760には、駆動歯66が当接しない最終従動歯765が、複数の従動歯76より第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CW、かつ、複数の従動歯76よりも第2軸線L2方向の他方側L2bに設けられ、カム面形成部670には、最終従動歯765が当接する最終のカム面675が設けられている。しかも、複数の従動歯76の各ピッチが等しいが、複数の従動歯76のうち、第2軸線L2周りの最も一方側L2CWに位置する従動歯76と最終従動歯765とのピッチは、複数の従動歯76のピッチより広い。このため、従動歯76がカム面67に摺動する状態から最終従動歯765が最終のカム面675に摺動する状態への切り替えをスムーズに行うことができるので、従動車7が急速に回転する等の事態が発生しにくい。 Further, the final driven tooth 765, to which the driving tooth 66 does not abut on the driven tooth forming portion 760, is one side L2CW around the second axis L2 from the plurality of driven teeth 76, and is second than the plurality of driven teeth 76. It is provided on the other side L2b in the axis L2 direction, and the cam surface forming portion 670 is provided with a final cam surface 675 to which the final driven tooth 765 abuts. Moreover, although the pitches of the plurality of driven teeth 76 are the same, the pitches of the driven tooth 76 and the final driven tooth 765 located on the most one side L2CW around the second axis L2 among the plurality of driven teeth 76 are a plurality of pitches. Wider than the pitch of the driven tooth 76. Therefore, it is possible to smoothly switch from the state in which the driven tooth 76 slides on the cam surface 67 to the state in which the final driven tooth 765 slides on the final cam surface 675, so that the driven vehicle 7 rotates rapidly. It is unlikely that a situation such as

また、位置検出器9は、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの最も一方側L2CWに回転した後、停止している区間(図12に示す区間b)の途中位置でスイッチ92からの出力が切り換わるとともに、従動車7が第2軸線L2周りの最も他方側L2CCWに回転した後、
停止している区間(図12に示す区間a)の途中位置でスイッチ92からの出力が切り換わる。このため、駆動車6と回転レバー91との位置関係が多少ずれても、従動車7が停止している状態をスイッチ92からの出力によって確実に監視することができる。
Further, in the position detector 9, the output from the switch 92 is output from the switch 92 at an intermediate position in the stopped section (section b shown in FIG. 12) after the driven vehicle 7 has rotated to the most one side L2CW around the second axis L2. After switching, the driven vehicle 7 rotates to the farthest side L2CCW around the second axis L2.
The output from the switch 92 is switched at an intermediate position of the stopped section (section a shown in FIG. 12). Therefore, even if the positional relationship between the driving vehicle 6 and the rotary lever 91 is slightly deviated, the state in which the driven vehicle 7 is stopped can be reliably monitored by the output from the switch 92.

(第1変形例)
図13は、第1変形例の駆動車6および従動車7を示す説明図である。上記実施の形態では、図9を参照して説明したように、複数のカム面67はいずれも、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部が第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWで隣り合うカム面67より径方向外側に位置している。但し、図13に示すように、複数のカム面67には、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部が第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWで隣り合うカム面67の外縁と重なったカム面が含まれている態様を採用してもよい。より具体的には、図13に示す駆動車6では、第4カム面674の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部が第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWで隣り合う第3カム面673の外縁と重なっており、最終のカム面675の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部が第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWで隣り合う第4カム面674の外縁と重なっている。かかる態様によれば、カム面形成部670の形成が容易であるという利点がある。
(First modification)
FIG. 13 is an explanatory view showing a driving vehicle 6 and a driven vehicle 7 of the first modification. In the above embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 9, in each of the plurality of cam surfaces 67, the ends of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 are adjacent to each other by the other side L1CW around the first axis L1. It is located radially outside the matching cam surface 67. However, as shown in FIG. 13, on the plurality of cam surfaces 67, the end portion of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 overlaps with the outer edge of the adjacent cam surfaces 67 on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1. An embodiment in which a cam surface is included may be adopted. More specifically, in the drive vehicle 6 shown in FIG. 13, the end of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the fourth cam surface 674 is adjacent to the third cam surface on one side L1CCW around the first axis L1. It overlaps with the outer edge of 673, and the end of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the final cam surface 675 overlaps with the outer edge of the adjacent fourth cam surface 674 at one side L1CCW around the first axis L1. .. According to such an aspect, there is an advantage that the cam surface forming portion 670 can be easily formed.

(第2変形例)
図5〜図9に示した形態(以下、上記形態という)においては、駆動車6は、第1軸線L1方向の最も他方側L1bに形成された第4駆動歯664(最終駆動歯)は、第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWを向く歯面が駆動歯形成部660の外周面とR状に繋がっている(図6、図9参照)。このため、複数の駆動歯66のピッチを計測しようとしても、第4駆動歯664の歯先の角度位置を正確に計測することが難しいため、正確なピッチを計測することが難しい。同様に、第1軸線L1方向の最も一方側L1aに形成された第1従動歯761は、第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWを向く歯面が従動歯形成部760の外周面とR状に繋がっている(図5、図9参照)。このため、複数の従動歯76の歯部の形状を計測しようとしても、第1従動歯761の歯先の角度位置を正確に計測することが難しいため、正確な歯部の形状を計測することが難しい。そのため、従動歯76の歯先の正確な位置を計測することが難しく、従動歯76の正確なピッチを計測することが難しい。
(Second modification)
In the form shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 (hereinafter referred to as the above-mentioned form), in the drive vehicle 6, the fourth drive tooth 664 (final drive tooth) formed on the most opposite side L1b in the direction of the first axis L1 is The tooth surface facing the one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 is connected to the outer peripheral surface of the drive tooth forming portion 660 in an R shape (see FIGS. 6 and 9). Therefore, even if an attempt is made to measure the pitch of a plurality of driving teeth 66, it is difficult to accurately measure the angular position of the tooth tip of the fourth driving tooth 664, so that it is difficult to accurately measure the pitch. Similarly, in the first driven tooth 761 formed on the most one side L1a in the direction of the first axis L1, the tooth surface facing the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 is R-shaped with the outer peripheral surface of the driven tooth forming portion 760. They are connected (see FIGS. 5 and 9). Therefore, even if an attempt is made to measure the shape of the teeth of a plurality of driven teeth 76, it is difficult to accurately measure the angular position of the tooth tip of the first driven tooth 761, so that the shape of the tooth should be measured accurately. Is difficult. Therefore, it is difficult to measure the accurate position of the tip of the driven tooth 76, and it is difficult to measure the accurate pitch of the driven tooth 76.

第2変形例では、このような点を改善するため、駆動車6には、第4駆動歯664の歯部の形状を正確に計測するための第1段部68(図15、図17)が形成されている。また、従動車7には、第1従動歯761の歯部の形状を正確に計測するための第2段部78(図14、図16)が形成されている。 In the second modification, in order to improve such a point, the drive vehicle 6 is provided with the first stage portion 68 (FIGS. 15 and 17) for accurately measuring the shape of the tooth portion of the fourth drive tooth 664. Is formed. Further, the driven vehicle 7 is formed with a second stage portion 78 (FIGS. 14 and 16) for accurately measuring the shape of the tooth portion of the first driven tooth 761.

図14は、第2変形例の駆動車6および従動車7を一方側からみた斜視図であり、図15は、第2変形例の駆動車6および従動車7を他方側からみた斜視図である。また、図16は、第2変形例の従動車7を従動歯形成部760の側から見た斜視図であり、図17は、第2変形例の駆動車6の平面図である。図15に示すように、第2変形例の駆動車6は、第1胴部62の周方向の一部に駆動歯形成部660が形成されており、駆動歯形成部660には、4つの駆動歯66および駆動歯ピッチ計測用の第1段部68が第1軸線L1方向に沿って多段に形成されている。4つの駆動歯66(第1駆動歯661、第2駆動歯662、第3駆動歯663、第4駆動歯664)および第1段部68は、この順で第1軸線L1周りに配置されている。
(1st stage)
FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 of the second modified example as viewed from one side, and FIG. 15 is a perspective view of the driven vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 of the second modified example as viewed from the other side. is there. Further, FIG. 16 is a perspective view of the driven vehicle 7 of the second modified example as viewed from the side of the driven tooth forming portion 760, and FIG. 17 is a plan view of the driven vehicle 6 of the second modified example. As shown in FIG. 15, in the drive vehicle 6 of the second modification, the drive tooth forming portion 660 is formed in a part of the first body portion 62 in the circumferential direction, and the drive tooth forming portion 660 has four drive tooth forming portions 660. The drive teeth 66 and the first step portion 68 for measuring the drive tooth pitch are formed in multiple steps along the first axis L1 direction. The four drive teeth 66 (first drive tooth 661, second drive tooth 662, third drive tooth 663, fourth drive tooth 664) and the first step portion 68 are arranged around the first axis L1 in this order. There is.

駆動歯ピッチ計測用の第1段部68は、第1軸線L1周りの最も他方側L1bに位置する最終駆動歯である第4駆動歯664の歯面668と周方向に隣り合う位置に形成されており、第4駆動歯664の歯面668の第1軸線L1方向の途中位置から第1軸線L1周
りの一方側L1CCWに突出している。4つの駆動歯66の歯面の径方向外側の端部(歯先)から第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWは、周方向に連続して延在する円周面669である。この円周面669は、第4駆動歯664の第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bまで延びており、第1段部68の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの面の径方向外側の端部まで連続して延在する。すなわち、第2変形例の駆動車6では、4つの駆動歯66および第1段部68の径方向外側は、第1軸線L1を中心とする連続した円周面669となっている。円周面669は、駆動歯形成部660の外周面であり、4つの駆動歯66の歯面と交差する。
The first step portion 68 for measuring the drive tooth pitch is formed at a position adjacent to the tooth surface 668 of the fourth drive tooth 664, which is the final drive tooth located on the most opposite side L1b around the first axis L1, in the circumferential direction. The tooth surface 668 of the fourth drive tooth 664 projects from an intermediate position in the direction of the first axis L1 to one side L1CCW around the first axis L1. The other side L1CW around the first axis L1 from the radial outer end (tooth tip) of the tooth surface of the four drive teeth 66 is a circumferential surface 669 extending continuously in the circumferential direction. The circumferential surface 669 extends to the other side L1b of the fourth drive tooth 664 in the first axis L1 direction, and is the radial outer end of the surface of the one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the first step portion 68. It extends continuously to the part. That is, in the drive vehicle 6 of the second modification, the radial outer sides of the four drive teeth 66 and the first step portion 68 are continuous circumferential surfaces 669 centered on the first axis L1. The circumferential surface 669 is the outer peripheral surface of the drive tooth forming portion 660 and intersects the tooth surfaces of the four drive teeth 66.

第2変形例の駆動車6は、第4駆動歯664と周方向に隣り合う位置に第1段部68を形成したことにより、駆動歯形成部660には、第4駆動歯664の歯面668を周方向にまたぐ範囲で円周面669が形成されている。このような範囲に円周面669を形成したことにより、第4駆動歯664の歯面668の径方向外側の端部(歯先)の角度位置は、他の3箇所の駆動歯66の歯先と同様に、円周面669と歯面668とが交差する交点P1(図15、図17参照)の位置として明確に測定することができるようになっている。従って、第2変形例では、全ての駆動歯66の歯先の位置を精度良く測定できる。従って、駆動歯66のピッチを精度良く測定することができる。なお、第1段部68の外周面は、第1軸線L1を中心とする円周面でなくてもよく、第4駆動歯664(最終駆動歯)の歯面668の径方向外側の端部(歯先)と交差する面であればよい。例えば、第1段部68の外周面は、円周面669の接線方向に延びる面であってもよい。 In the drive vehicle 6 of the second modification, the first step portion 68 is formed at a position adjacent to the fourth drive tooth 664 in the circumferential direction, so that the drive tooth forming portion 660 has a tooth surface of the fourth drive tooth 664. A circumferential surface 669 is formed in a range straddling 668 in the circumferential direction. By forming the circumferential surface 669 in such a range, the angular position of the radial outer end (tooth tip) of the tooth surface 668 of the fourth drive tooth 664 is the tooth of the other three drive teeth 66. Similar to the above, it can be clearly measured as the position of the intersection P1 (see FIGS. 15 and 17) where the circumferential surface 669 and the tooth surface 668 intersect. Therefore, in the second modification, the positions of the tooth tips of all the driving teeth 66 can be measured with high accuracy. Therefore, the pitch of the drive teeth 66 can be measured with high accuracy. The outer peripheral surface of the first step portion 68 does not have to be a circumferential surface centered on the first axis L1, and is an end portion on the radial outer side of the tooth surface 668 of the fourth drive tooth 664 (final drive tooth). Any surface that intersects (tooth tip) may be used. For example, the outer peripheral surface of the first step portion 68 may be a surface extending in the tangential direction of the circumferential surface 669.

また、第1段部68は円盤部61から第1軸線L1方向の一方側L1aに突出する凸部であるが、円盤部61を第1軸線L1方向の他方側L1bに窪ませて、駆動歯ピッチ計測用の第1凹部を形成しても良い。この場合、凹部の径方向外側の内周面を円周面669と同一径の円周面とすれば、第1凹部の内周面は第4駆動歯664の歯面668と交差する面となる。従って、第1凹部の内周面と歯面668との交点の位置から第4駆動歯664の歯先の角度位置を精度良く測定できる。従って、駆動歯66のピッチを精度良く測定することができる。なお、この場合においても、第1凹部の内周面は、歯面668の径方向外側の端部(歯先)と交差する面であればよく、第1軸線L1を中心とする円周面でなくてもよい。 Further, the first step portion 68 is a convex portion protruding from the disk portion 61 to one side L1a in the first axis L1 direction, but the disk portion 61 is recessed in the other side L1b in the first axis L1 direction to drive teeth. The first recess for pitch measurement may be formed. In this case, if the inner peripheral surface on the outer side in the radial direction of the recess is the circumferential surface having the same diameter as the circumferential surface 669, the inner peripheral surface of the first recess is the surface intersecting the tooth surface 668 of the fourth drive tooth 664. Become. Therefore, the angular position of the tooth tip of the fourth drive tooth 664 can be accurately measured from the position of the intersection of the inner peripheral surface of the first recess and the tooth surface 668. Therefore, the pitch of the drive teeth 66 can be measured with high accuracy. Even in this case, the inner peripheral surface of the first recess may be a surface that intersects the radial outer end (tooth tip) of the tooth surface 668, and is a circumferential surface centered on the first axis L1. It does not have to be.

(第2段部)
図15、図16に示すように、第2変形例の従動車7には従動歯形成部760が形成されており、従動歯形成部760には、複数の従動歯76および最終従動歯765に加えて、従動歯ピッチ計測用の第2段部78が形成されている。従動歯形成部760には、最終従動歯765、4つの従動歯76、および第2段部78が第2軸線L2方向に沿って多段に形成されている。4つの従動歯76(第1従動歯761、第2従動歯762、第3従動歯763、第4従動歯764)および最終従動歯765と、第2段部78は、この順で第2軸線L2周りに配置されている。従動車7には、従動歯形成部760の径方向外側の部分を第1従動歯761より第2軸線L2方向の一方側に延長した延長部766が形成されている。第2段部78は、延長部766の第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWの端部に設けられている。
(2nd stage)
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, a driven tooth forming portion 760 is formed in the driven vehicle 7 of the second modification, and the driven tooth forming portion 760 has a plurality of driven teeth 76 and a final driven tooth 765. In addition, a second step portion 78 for measuring the driven tooth pitch is formed. In the driven tooth forming portion 760, the final driven tooth 765, the four driven teeth 76, and the second step portion 78 are formed in multiple stages along the second axis L2 direction. The four driven teeth 76 (first driven tooth 761, the second driven tooth 762, the third driven tooth 763, the fourth driven tooth 764), the final driven tooth 765, and the second step 78 are in this order on the second axis. It is arranged around L2. The driven vehicle 7 is formed with an extension portion 766 in which the radial outer portion of the driven tooth forming portion 760 is extended from the first driven tooth 761 to one side in the second axis L2 direction. The second step portion 78 is provided at the end of the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 of the extension portion 766.

従動歯ピッチ計測用の第2段部78は、第2軸線L2回りの最も他方側L2CCWに位置する第1従動歯761の歯面768と周方向に隣り合う位置に形成されており、第1従動歯761の歯面768に対して第2軸線L2周りの他方側L2CCWに突出している。4つの従動歯76の歯面の径方向外側の端部(歯先)から第2軸線L2周りの一方側L2CWは、周方向に連続して延在する円周面769である。また、この円周面769は、第1従動歯761の第2軸線L2方向の一方側L2aに設けられた延長部766まで延びており、第2段部78まで連続して延在する。すなわち、第2変形例の従動車7では、4つ
の従動歯76、最終従動歯765、および第2段部78の径方向外側は、第2軸線L2を中心とする連続した円周面769となっている。円周面769は、従動歯形成部760の径方向外側の外周面であり、4つの従動歯76および最終従動歯765の歯面と交差する。
The second step portion 78 for measuring the driven tooth pitch is formed at a position adjacent to the tooth surface 768 of the first driven tooth 761 located on the most opposite side L2CCW around the second axis L2 in the circumferential direction. It projects to the other side L2CCW around the second axis L2 with respect to the tooth surface 768 of the driven tooth 761. One side L2CW around the second axis L2 from the radial outer end (tooth tip) of the tooth surface of the four driven teeth 76 is a circumferential surface 769 that extends continuously in the circumferential direction. Further, the circumferential surface 769 extends to an extension portion 766 provided on one side L2a of the first driven tooth 761 in the second axis L2 direction, and continuously extends to the second step portion 78. That is, in the driven vehicle 7 of the second modification, the four driven teeth 76, the final driven tooth 765, and the radial outer side of the second step portion 78 have a continuous circumferential surface 769 centered on the second axis L2. It has become. The circumferential surface 769 is a radial outer peripheral surface of the driven tooth forming portion 760 and intersects the tooth surfaces of the four driven teeth 76 and the final driven tooth 765.

第2変形例の従動車7は、第1従動歯761と周方向に隣り合う位置に第2段部78を形成したことにより、従動歯形成部760には、第1従動歯761の歯面768を周方向にまたぐ範囲で円周面769が形成されている。このような範囲に円周面769を形成したことにより、第1従動歯761の歯面768の径方向外側の端部(歯先)の角度位置は、他の3箇所の従動歯76および最終従動歯765の歯先と同様に、円周面769と歯面768とが交差する交点P2(図16参照)の位置として明確に測定することができるようになっている。従って、第2変形例では、全ての従動歯76の歯先の位置を精度良く測定できる。従って、従動歯76のピッチを精度良く測定することができる。なお、第2段部78の外周面は、第2軸線L2を中心とする円周面でなくてもよく、第1従動歯761の歯面768の径方向外側の端部(歯先)と交差する面であればよい。例えば、第2段部78の外周面は、円周面769の接線方向に延びる面であってもよい。 In the driven vehicle 7 of the second modification, the second step portion 78 is formed at a position adjacent to the first driven tooth 761 in the circumferential direction, so that the driven tooth forming portion 760 has a tooth surface of the first driven tooth 761. A circumferential surface 769 is formed in a range straddling 768 in the circumferential direction. By forming the circumferential surface 769 in such a range, the angular position of the radial outer end (tooth tip) of the tooth surface 768 of the first driven tooth 761 is the other three driven teeth 76 and the final. Similar to the tooth tip of the driven tooth 765, it can be clearly measured as the position of the intersection P2 (see FIG. 16) where the circumferential surface 769 and the tooth surface 768 intersect. Therefore, in the second modification, the positions of the tooth tips of all the driven teeth 76 can be measured with high accuracy. Therefore, the pitch of the driven tooth 76 can be measured with high accuracy. The outer peripheral surface of the second step portion 78 does not have to be a circumferential surface centered on the second axis L2, and may be a radial outer end (tooth tip) of the tooth surface 768 of the first driven tooth 761. Any surface that intersects may be used. For example, the outer peripheral surface of the second step portion 78 may be a surface extending in the tangential direction of the circumferential surface 769.

また、延長部766の外径を円周面769より大径とし、延長部766を第2軸線L2方向の一方側L2aに窪ませて、従動歯ピッチ計測用の第2凹部を形成しても良い。この場合、第2凹部の径方向外側の内周面を円周面769と同一径の円周面とすれば、第2凹部の内周面と歯面768との交点の位置から第1従動歯761の歯先の角度位置を精度良く測定できる。従って、従動歯76のピッチを精度良く測定することができる。なお、この場合においても、第2凹部の内周面は、歯面768と交差する面であればよく、第2軸線L2を中心とする円筒面でなくてもよい。 Further, even if the outer diameter of the extension portion 766 is made larger than the circumferential surface 769 and the extension portion 766 is recessed in one side L2a in the second axis L2 direction to form a second recess for measuring the driven tooth pitch. good. In this case, if the inner peripheral surface on the outer side in the radial direction of the second concave portion is a circumferential surface having the same diameter as the circumferential surface 769, the first driven action is taken from the position of the intersection of the inner peripheral surface of the second concave portion and the tooth surface 768. The angular position of the tip of the tooth 761 can be measured accurately. Therefore, the pitch of the driven tooth 76 can be measured with high accuracy. Even in this case, the inner peripheral surface of the second recess may be a surface that intersects the tooth surface 768, and may not be a cylindrical surface centered on the second axis L2.

(カム面の形状)
図17に示すように、第2変形例の駆動車6は、図5〜図9に示した形態(上記形態)と同様に5つのカム面67を備えている。5つのカム面67のうち、第1カム面671を除く他の4つのカム面(第2カム面672、第3カム面673、第4カム面674、最終のカム面675)は、上記形態の位置よりも第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに位置する。また、第2カム面672は、上記形態よりも径方向内側に縮径した位置に設けられている。
(Cam surface shape)
As shown in FIG. 17, the drive vehicle 6 of the second modification has five cam surfaces 67 as in the form shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 (the above-mentioned form). Of the five cam surfaces 67, the other four cam surfaces (second cam surface 672, third cam surface 673, fourth cam surface 674, final cam surface 675) other than the first cam surface 671 have the above-described embodiment. It is located on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 from the position of. Further, the second cam surface 672 is provided at a position where the diameter is reduced inward in the radial direction with respect to the above embodiment.

第2変形例では、5つのカム面67のそれぞれは、第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWで隣り合うカム面67と周方向に重なり合わないカム区間67Aを備える。第1軸線L1回りの最も一方側L1CCWに位置する第1カム面671のカム区間671Aは、第1軸線L1回りの最も他方側L1CWに位置する最終のカム面675を除く他のカム面(第2カム面672、第3カム面673、第4カム面674)のカム区間672A、673A、674Aよりも周方向に広い。特に、第2カム面672のカム区間672Aが最も周方向に狭い。また、最終のカム面675のカム区間675Aは、上記形態よりも周方向に狭い。また、第2カム面672の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部は、第2カム面672より第1軸線L1周りの他方側L1CWに位置するカム面(第3カム面673、第4カム面674、最終のカム面675)の一方側L1CCWの端部より、径方向内側に縮径した位置にシフトしている。 In the second modification, each of the five cam surfaces 67 includes a cam section 67A that does not overlap with the adjacent cam surfaces 67 on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 in the circumferential direction. The cam section 671A of the first cam surface 671 located on the most one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 is a cam surface other than the final cam surface 675 located on the most opposite side L1CW around the first axis L1 (first). It is wider in the circumferential direction than the cam sections 672A, 673A, and 674A of the 2 cam surface 672, the 3rd cam surface 673, and the 4th cam surface 674). In particular, the cam section 672A of the second cam surface 672 is the narrowest in the circumferential direction. Further, the cam section 675A of the final cam surface 675 is narrower in the circumferential direction than the above-described embodiment. Further, the end of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the second cam surface 672 is a cam surface located on the other side L1CW around the first axis L1 from the second cam surface 672 (third cam surface 673, first. The diameter is shifted inward in the radial direction from the end of the L1CCW on one side of the four cam surface 674 and the final cam surface 675).

図18は、第2変形例の駆動車6の角度位置とバッフル4の開度との関係を示す説明図である。図18において、破線は図5〜図9に示した形態(上記形態)のバッフル4の開度であり、図12のグラフと同一である。また、実線は第2変形例のバッフル4の開度を示す。第2変形例では、第1カム面671のカム区間671Aを上記形態より長く設定したことにより、第1従動歯761が第1カム面671に摺動した状態で駆動車6が回転す
る間の駆動車6の回転角度が上記形態よりも長くなっている。その結果、バッフル4が閉じる際の閉じ始めの区間では、駆動車6の回転角度に対する従動車7の回転角度が小さい。従って、図18に示すように、バッフル4の閉じ始めの区間では駆動車6の角度位置とバッフル4の開度との関係を示すグラフ(実線)の傾きが図12の傾き(破線)よりも緩やかである。すなわち、バッフル4の閉じ始めの区間では、バッフル4の回転速度は上記形態より遅く、バッフル4は上記形態よりゆっくりと閉じ始めるようになっている。
FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between the angular position of the driving vehicle 6 and the opening degree of the baffle 4 in the second modification. In FIG. 18, the broken line is the opening degree of the baffle 4 in the form shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 (the above-mentioned form), which is the same as the graph in FIG. The solid line shows the opening degree of the baffle 4 of the second modification. In the second modification, the cam section 671A of the first cam surface 671 is set longer than the above embodiment, so that the driving vehicle 6 rotates while the first driven tooth 761 slides on the first cam surface 671. The rotation angle of the drive vehicle 6 is longer than that of the above embodiment. As a result, the rotation angle of the driven vehicle 7 with respect to the rotation angle of the driving vehicle 6 is small in the section at the beginning of closing when the baffle 4 is closed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 18, in the section where the baffle 4 starts to close, the inclination of the graph (solid line) showing the relationship between the angular position of the driving vehicle 6 and the opening degree of the baffle 4 is larger than the inclination (broken line) of FIG. It is gradual. That is, in the section where the baffle 4 starts to close, the rotation speed of the baffle 4 is slower than that of the above form, and the baffle 4 starts to close more slowly than the above form.

また、第2カム面672の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部を上記形態より縮径した位置にシフトさせたことにより、第2従動歯762が第2カム面672に接触し始めるタイミングが上記形態より遅れ、第1従動歯761が第1カム面671から離れるタイミングが上記形態より遅れる。従って、第1従動歯761が第1カム面671に摺動した状態で駆動車6が回転する回転角度(第1カム面671でのダンパ対応角度)がさらに長くなるので、バッフル4の閉じ始めの区間におけるバッフル4の回転速度は、さらに遅くなっている。 Further, by shifting the end of one side L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the second cam surface 672 to a position reduced in diameter from the above embodiment, the second driven tooth 762 starts to come into contact with the second cam surface 672. The timing is delayed from the above form, and the timing at which the first driven tooth 761 separates from the first cam surface 671 is delayed from the above form. Therefore, the rotation angle at which the drive vehicle 6 rotates with the first driven tooth 761 sliding on the first cam surface 671 (the angle corresponding to the damper on the first cam surface 671) becomes longer, and the baffle 4 begins to close. The rotation speed of the baffle 4 in the section of is even slower.

第2変形例の駆動車6では、最終のカム面675から最終従動歯765が離れる際の駆動車6の回転位置は、上記形態とほぼ同じ位置である。つまり、第2従動歯762が第2カム面672に接触するタイミングは上記形態よりも遅れるものの、最終従動歯765が最終のカム面675から離れるタイミングは上記形態とほぼ同じである。従って、バッフルの閉じ始めの区間を過ぎると、そのあとは駆動車6の回転角度に対する従動車7の回転角度は上記形態より大きくなっている。つまり、バッフルの閉じ始めの区間を過ぎると、バッフル4の回転速度は上記形態より早くなっており、その結果、上記形態と同じタイミングでバッフル4が閉じ終わるようになっている。 In the driving vehicle 6 of the second modification, the rotational position of the driving vehicle 6 when the final driven tooth 765 is separated from the final cam surface 675 is substantially the same as the above-described embodiment. That is, although the timing at which the second driven tooth 762 comes into contact with the second cam surface 672 is later than that in the above embodiment, the timing at which the final driven tooth 765 leaves the final cam surface 675 is almost the same as in the above embodiment. Therefore, after the section where the baffle starts to close, the rotation angle of the driven vehicle 7 with respect to the rotation angle of the driving vehicle 6 becomes larger than that of the above-described embodiment. That is, after passing the section where the baffle starts to close, the rotation speed of the baffle 4 becomes faster than that of the above-mentioned form, and as a result, the baffle 4 finishes closing at the same timing as the above-mentioned form.

このように、第2変形例では、バッフル4の閉じ始めの区間ではバッフル4の回転速度が遅く、バッフル4の閉じ始めの区間を過ぎると、その後はバッフル4の回転速度が早くなるように構成されている。具体的には、第1カム面671に第1従動歯761が摺動する間の従動車7の回転速度が上記形態より大きい。そして、第2カム面672、第3カム面673、第4カム面674にそれぞれ対応する従動歯76が摺動する間の従動車7の回転速度は、いずれも、第1カム面671に第1従動歯761が摺動する間の従動車7の回転速度より小さい。なお、駆動車6の回転角度に対する従動車7の回転速度(すなわち、バッフル4の閉じ速度)は、カム面67の形状だけでなく、従動歯76の形状やピッチによっても変動する。従って、上記のような回転速度の変化を実現する形態は、第2変形例の形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、従動歯76のピッチを変更した場合には、それに対応してカム面67の形状を適宜変更することができる。 As described above, in the second modification, the rotation speed of the baffle 4 is slow in the section where the baffle 4 starts to close, and the rotation speed of the baffle 4 becomes high after the section where the baffle 4 starts to close. Has been done. Specifically, the rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 while the first driven tooth 761 slides on the first cam surface 671 is higher than that of the above embodiment. The rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 while the driven teeth 76 corresponding to the second cam surface 672, the third cam surface 673, and the fourth cam surface 674 are all sliding on the first cam surface 671. 1 It is smaller than the rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 while the driven tooth 761 slides. The rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 with respect to the rotation angle of the driving vehicle 6 (that is, the closing speed of the baffle 4) varies not only with the shape of the cam surface 67 but also with the shape and pitch of the driven teeth 76. Therefore, the form for realizing the change in the rotation speed as described above is not limited to the form of the second modification. For example, when the pitch of the driven tooth 76 is changed, the shape of the cam surface 67 can be appropriately changed accordingly.

(Effect of the second modification)
As described above, in the rotation transmission mechanism 10 and the damper device 1 including the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 of the second modification, the tooth surface 668 and the first step portion 68 of the fourth driving tooth 664, which is the final driving tooth.

Therefore, the shape of the tooth portion of the fourth drive tooth 664 can be accurately measured, and the position of the tooth tip of the fourth drive tooth 664 can be accurately measured, so that the pitch of the drive tooth 66 can be accurately measured. Further, the intersection of the tooth surface 768 of the first driven tooth 761 and the outer peripheral surface of the second step 78 can be measured. Therefore, the shape of the tooth portion of the first driven tooth 761 can be accurately measured, and the position of the tooth tip of the first driven tooth 761 can be accurately measured, so that the pitch of the driven tooth 76 can be accurately measured. Further, by forming the extension portion 766 in which the driven tooth forming portion 760 is extended in the second axis L2 direction, it is possible to secure a height at which the second step portion 78 can be formed in the driven tooth forming portion 760.

また、第2変形例の駆動車6および従動車7は、複数の従動歯76が順に複数のカム面67を摺動する際、最初のカム区間671Aを第1従動歯761が摺動する区間が長い。また、第1カム面671に第1従動歯761が摺動する間の従動車7の回転速度は、第2カム面672、第3カム面673、第4カム面674に対応する従動歯76が摺動する間の従動車7の回転速度より小さい(遅い)。そして、第2カム面672の第1軸線L1周りの一方側L1CCWの端部は、第3カム面673、第4カム面674、最終のカム面675の一方側L1CCWの端部より径方向内側に位置する。このような構成により、従動車7を回転させる際、最初のうちはゆっくりと回転させる動きを実現することができる。 Further, in the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 of the second modification, when the plurality of driven teeth 76 slide on the plurality of cam surfaces 67 in order, the section in which the first driven tooth 761 slides on the first cam section 671A. Is long. Further, the rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 while the first driven tooth 761 slides on the first cam surface 671 is the driven tooth 76 corresponding to the second cam surface 672, the third cam surface 673, and the fourth cam surface 674. Is smaller (slower) than the rotation speed of the driven vehicle 7 while sliding. The end of the one-sided L1CCW around the first axis L1 of the second cam surface 672 is radially inside the end of the one-sided L1CCW of the third cam surface 673, the fourth cam surface 674, and the final cam surface 675. Located in. With such a configuration, when rotating the driven vehicle 7, it is possible to realize a movement of slowly rotating the driven vehicle 7 at first.

さらに、第2変形例の駆動車6は、第1軸線L1周りの回転位置を組立基準位置6Aに合わせるための第1組立用目印69を備え、第2変形例の従動車7は、第2軸線L2周りの回転位置を組立基準位置7Aに合わせるための第2組立用目印79を備えるため、駆動車6および従動車7の回転位置を予め定められた組立基準位置6A,7Aに容易に合わせることができる。従って、組立時の作業性が良い。なお、第1組立用目印69および第2組立用目印79は、図19に示すような形態に限定されるものではなく、カバー3に回転可能に取り付けた状態で駆動車6および従動車7の回転位置を合わせることができる形態であればよい。 Further, the drive vehicle 6 of the second modification is provided with a first assembly mark 69 for aligning the rotation position around the first axis L1 with the assembly reference position 6A, and the driven vehicle 7 of the second modification is the second. Since the second assembly mark 79 for aligning the rotation position around the axis L2 with the assembly reference position 7A is provided, the rotation positions of the driving vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 can be easily aligned with the predetermined assembly reference positions 6A and 7A. be able to. Therefore, workability at the time of assembly is good. The first assembly mark 69 and the second assembly mark 79 are not limited to the form shown in FIG. 19, and the drive vehicle 6 and the driven vehicle 7 are rotatably attached to the cover 3. Any form may be used as long as the rotation position can be adjusted.
