Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an intermittent clutch with which a shaft is intermittently rotated in one direction without using a crank mechanism. CONSTITUTION:The number of teeth of a first gear 2 and a second gear 3 fitted to a driven shaft 1 is set mutually different, and both gears 2, 3 are differentially rotated with a drive gear 29. One end of a coil spring 12 is fixed to a spring case 4 in one body with the driven shaft 1, and the other end of the coil spring 12 is fitted to the outer diametral face 11 of the first gear 2 through a clearance. Pins 17 facing to the coil spring 12 are fitted to the first gear 2, and a cam plate 22 to axially move the pins 17 is fitted to the second gear 3. When the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are differentially rotated, the pins 17 pushed with the cam plate 22 press the coil spring 12 so as to contract the diameter, and hence the first gear 2 is connected to the spring case 4.

FIG. 1 shows the intermittent clutch in the OFF state. In this state, when the drive gear 29 rotates, the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 rotate, but for a certain time, the rotational force is not transmitted to the spring case 4, and the driven shaft 1 does not rotate.

[0031] However, after a certain amount of time, the number of teeth the first gear 2 Z 1 that the number of teeth Z 2 of the second gear 3 are different, a difference occurs in the respective rotational speed.

For example, assuming that the rotation speed of the drive gear 29 is N 3 , the rotation speeds N 1 and N 2 of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 are the same.
Difference ΔN (= N 2 −N 1 ) is ΔN = (N 3 × Z 3 ) × (Z 2 −Z 1 ) / (Z 1 ×
Z 2 ). Now, N 3 = 200 rpm, Z 3 = Z 1 = 50
And Z 2 = 49, ΔN = −4.082 rpm
Therefore, the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 make one relative rotation in about 15 seconds.

When the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 rotate relative to each other in this way, the recesses 26 of the cam plate 22 and the pins 17 are displaced, and the pins 17 are pushed out from the recesses 26. In this case, assuming that the number of the pins 17 is two and the number of the recesses 26 is six, in the above calculation example, the pin 17 has a rate of 6 times (once every 2.5 seconds) in about 15 seconds. Then, it is pushed out from the recess 26.

When the pin 17 is pushed out of the recess 26,
The other end of the pin 17 starts contact with the coil spring 12, and when the differential rotation of the first gear 2 and the second gear 3 further proceeds, the pin 17 strongly presses the coil spring 12. In this pressing, the pin 17 and the coil spring 12
When a force above a certain level is applied to the wave spring 23, the wave spring 23 bends and the maximum load for pressing the coil spring 12 is restricted.

In the above case, if the winding direction of the coil spring 12 is leftward and the rotation direction of the first gear 2 is rightward toward the spring case 4, the end surface of the coil spring 12 is pin 1.
Due to the frictional force with 7, the torsional torque is applied and the diameter is reduced. Therefore, if the rotation of the first gear 2 continues,
The large-diameter portion 14 of the coil spring 12 is reduced in diameter and comes into close contact with the outer diameter surface 11 of the first gear 2 as shown in FIG.

When the first gear 2 continues to rotate from this state, the inner diameters of both ends of the coil spring 12 are in close contact with the outer diameter surface 11 of the first gear 2 and the outer diameter surface 8 of the spring case 4. Therefore, when a load is applied to the driven shaft 1, the driven shaft 1 is self-locked. That is, it acts as a clutch and transmits rotation to the driven shaft 1.

When the position of the pin 17 and the position of the recess 26 coincide with each other, the pin 17 fits into the recess 26, and the coil spring 12
It becomes impossible to push the end face of. Therefore, the large diameter portion 14 of the coil spring 12 returns to the state shown in FIG. 1 and loses the function as a clutch.

As described above, according to the present invention, the clutch function state and the idling state with respect to the shaft are controlled by the differential rotation between the first member and the second member and the diameter reduction of the coil spring. It is not necessary to have a complicated structure such as a clutch, and it is possible to obtain a rotation that makes intermittent rotation in one direction with a compact shape.
