Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the degree of freedom in setting damping force without making a damper large-sized to produce a rotary damper having excellent assembling ability by providing a damping force generating mechanism having a regulating oil chamber formed at the axial end of a rotary shaft in a housing. CONSTITUTION:When a rotary shaft 22 rotates clockwise to a housing 20, one oil chamber 29A decrease in its volume, and the other oil chamber 29B increases in its volume. In this case, oil flows through one oil passage 35 from the oil chamber 29A decreasing in its volume into a regulating oil chamber 34 to pressingly open a disc valve 38 for generating damping force. On the other hand, the oil flows through a check valve 39 provided in the other passage 36 from the regulating oil chamber 34 into the oil chamber 29B increasing in its volume. Thus, when the oil flows from the oil chamber 29A decreasing in its volume into the oil chamber 29B increasing in its volume, the damping force is generated. In addition to that, action similar to the above action occurs in the case of the counterclockwise rotation of the rotary shaft 22.

The oil inside flows into the first inner oil chamber 10 through the oil hole 12, and the oil that flows in flows into the oil passage 14 formed in the separator 9.
The oil passes through the disk, pushes open the disc hearth 16, and flows into the second inner oil chamber 11. Further, the oil that has flowed into the second inner oil chamber 11 flows into the second outer oil chamber 7 through the oil hole 13 . At this time, a damping force is generated when the oil fluid pushes open the disc hearth 16 and flows. Furthermore, when the hollow shaft 3 rotates in the opposite direction, the same effect will occur since the direction in which the oil flows is reversed.

Also,
Since the outer diameter dimension of the damping force generation mechanism can also be freely set, the degree of freedom in setting the generated damping force characteristics can be increased. Furthermore, since the damping force generating mechanism does not need to be assembled in a narrow space, ease of assembly can be improved.

A hole 40 is formed in the rotating shaft 22 in the axial direction from the other end side, and a free piston 41 is slidably disposed inside the hole 40. The chamber defined by the free piston 41 is filled with high-pressure gas to form a high-pressure gas chamber 42.

According to this configuration of the free piston 41 and the high pressure gas chamber 42, when the oil liquid expands or contracts depending on the temperature of the outside air, or when the oil liquid slightly leaks and the volume of the oil liquid increases or decreases, the free piston 41 and holes 40 to compensate for the volume of the oil, it prevents damage to each member due to abnormal pressure rise when the oil expands, and prevents the oil from contracting or leaking. It is possible to prevent a vacuum from forming in the oil chambers 29A, 29B and the adjustment oil chamber 34 when the oil chambers 29A, 29B and the regulating oil chamber 34 occur.

以上の構成のロータリータンパ−の作動を説明する。The operation of the rotary tamper with the above configuration will be explained.

When the rotating shaft 22 rotates relative to the housing 20, for example, in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2 (clockwise), the volume of one oil chamber 29A becomes smaller, and the volume of the other oil chamber 29B becomes larger. At this time, oil flows from the oil chamber 29A, whose volume is reduced, into the adjustment oil chamber 34 through one passage 35, and at this time, the disc valve 38 is pushed open to generate a damping force. In addition, in the oil chamber 29B whose volume increases,
Oil flows from the regulating oil chamber 34 through a check valve 39 provided in the other passage 36. In this way, a damping force is generated when the oil flows from the oil chamber 29A, which has a smaller volume, to the oil chamber 29B, which has a larger volume. Note that the same effect occurs when the rotating shaft 22 is rotated in the opposite direction.

And if you configure the rotary damper like this,
Since there is no need to provide an oil chamber and a disc valve for generating damping force inside the rotating shaft 22, the rotating shaft 22 can be made thinner. Therefore, the rotary damper can be made smaller, and the volumes of the oil chambers 29A and 29B can be increased, so that it is also possible to generate a large damping force. Further, the outer diameter of the disc valve 38 is not restricted, and the degree of freedom in setting the damping force characteristics can be increased. For this reason, the applications of rotary dampers are expanding.

However, if the adjusting oil chamber 34 is formed at the axial end of the rotating shaft 22 in the housing 2o, the rotary tamper will become longer in the axial direction, or as shown in FIG. By providing the free piston 18 for compensating the volume of the oil and the high pressure gas chamber I9 within the rotating shaft 22, it is possible to suppress the length in the axial direction from increasing.

In addition, in the above embodiment, in order to compensate for the volume of the oil liquid,
Using the free piston 4I, as shown in Figure 4,
A hole 43 is formed in the rotating shaft 22, and a bag-shaped volume compensating member 44 made of a stretchable material such as rubber or synthetic resin filled with high-pressure gas is fitted into the hole 43, and the bushing 45 is inserted into the hole 43. There may also be a handle to secure it. In addition, when such a volume compensation member is used, the number of parts is smaller than when the free piston 41 is used, and the machining accuracy of the hole 43 is not required, so the cost is lower.
In addition, since it is only necessary to insert the gas filled in advance into the hole 43, it has the advantage of being easy to assemble.

(Effects of the Invention) 1. As described in detail, the present invention includes a fixed vane and a movable vane that define a plurality of oil chambers between the housing and the rotating shaft, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft in the housing. An adjustment oil chamber is formed at the end of the adjustment oil chamber, and the adjustment oil chamber and each oil chamber are connected to a passage provided with a damping force generation mechanism that generates a damping force by the flow of oil from the oil chamber to the adjustment oil chamber. Since the oil chamber is configured to communicate with each other through passages equipped with check valves that allow only the wave motion of oil fluid from one oil chamber to another, there is no need to provide an oil chamber or a damping force generation mechanism within the rotating shaft, allowing the rotating shaft to be thinner. One thing to do is to make the rotary damper more compact.

In addition, even if the outer diameter is the same as that of a conventional rotary tamper, the volume of the oil chamber can be increased, and by increasing the operating flow rate, it is possible to generate a large damping force. Since the outer diameter of the force generating mechanism can also be freely set, the degree of freedom in setting the damping force characteristics can be increased. This allows it to be applied to a wide range of applications, from motorcycle shock absorbing mechanisms to automobile stabilizer shock absorbing mechanisms that require large damping forces.

Furthermore, since the damping force generating mechanism is provided at the end of the housing, ease of assembly is improved, and productivity can be improved.
