The conventional spring clutch 15 has the following problems. First, the coil spring 27 includes the iron ring 22 and the driven wheel 23.
Since it is mounted across the
When there is a variation in the diameter between the driven wheel 23 and the driven wheel 23 or rotational runout occurs, as shown in FIG. 10, the angle is drooped, the coil spring 27 floats, and the wrapping angle is reduced to reduce the required torque. I can't communicate. Therefore, it is necessary to process the iron ring 22 and the driven wheel 23 with high precision, resulting in high cost.

Further, the coil spring 27 does not always have a circularity at the time of processing, and a coil spring having a rectangular cross section is used, but this may be inclined with respect to the axis as shown in FIG. Since the wrapping angle is reduced, highly accurate inner surface polishing etc. is required, which leads to high cost. In principle, the coil spring 27 may be wound only on the iron ring 22 and simply locked to the driven wheel 23, but then, the full load is applied to the locking end 27b and the locking end 27b extends. Since the transmission accuracy is deteriorated, the winding is also wound around the driven wheel 23 side to share the load.

From the standpoint of strength, the driven wheel 23 must be made of metal, while the main driving wheel 20 must be made of synthetic resin for cost reasons. During idling, heat is generated due to friction with the coil spring 27. As a result, the portion of the main driving wheel 20 that is the winding portion of the coil spring 27 and the driven wheel 23 expand. If the main driving wheel 20 and the driven wheel 23 are made of different materials, the expansion degrees are different, and the coil spring 2 is the same as in FIG.
A step is formed at the winding part of 7 and the same problem as described above occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to make the linear expansion coefficients of the main driving wheel 20 side and the driven wheel 23 uniform, and it is necessary to use the iron ring 22 when using synthetic resin for the main driving wheel 20.

When the iron ring 22 is used as described above, not only is it costly to integrally mold the main ring 20 with the main driving wheel 20, but also there is a problem that abnormal noise is generated when the wheel is idling.
This abnormal noise is caused mainly by poor surface accuracy of the contact portion between the coil spring 27, the iron ring 22, and the driven wheel 23.
It is considered that the softer member is scraped off by the harder one, which causes abnormal noise.Therefore, measures are taken to improve the surface accuracy as much as possible to prevent this abnormal noise. However, there is a problem that 30% or more of the product cost is incurred as a measure against abnormal noise.

When torque is not transmitted: When the stopper lever is engaged with the check claw 40, the rotation of the stopper member 37 is stopped. Therefore, the locking end 43 of the coil spring 41 is also restrained. When the main driving wheel 31 still rotates, the driven member 33 causes the coil spring 41 on the front side of the locking end 43 to move.
Although it is still slightly rotated due to the frictional force between the cylinder 32 and the cylindrical body 32, as shown in FIG. 3, since the locking end 43 is constrained by the stopper member 37, the rotation of the driven member 33 causes the coil spring 41 to rotate. Acts on the locking end 42 in a direction to loosen the degree of contact of the cylinder body 32 with the cylinder body 32. Then, when the load on the driven side and the frictional force between the coil spring 41 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 32 are balanced, the main driving wheel 31 idles, the torque is not transmitted to the driven side, and the driven shaft 14 rotates. Will stop. The size of the notch 38 provided in the stopper member 37 is different from that of the stopper member 37.
It is sufficient that the width that allows the rotation of the driven member 33 until the main driving wheel 31 idles after the rotation of No. 2 has a slight margin. The stopper member 37 is provided with a plurality of engaging grooves 39 of the locking ends 43 in order to absorb the variation in the bending positions of the locking ends 43 and the locking positions 42 between the coil springs.

As a result, the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 32 is in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface thereof. The winding direction of the coil spring 41 is set in the same direction as the rotating direction of the main driving wheel 31 (cylindrical body 32) as shown in FIG. Both ends of the coil spring 41 are bent inwardly to form locking ends 42 and 43, respectively. The locking end 42 is locked in the locking groove 35 of the driven member 33, and the other locking end 43 is a stopper. It is engaged with an engaging groove 39 at a proper position of the member 37. The coil spring 41 may be tightly wound, but it is preferable to use a part or all of the coil spring roughly wound.

Next, the operation will be described. When power is transmitted from a drive unit such as a drive motor to the driving wheel 31 and the driving wheel 31 rotates, the coil spring 41 also rotates due to the frictional force between the tubular body 32 and the coil spring 41, and the locking end 42
The driven member 33, and thus the driven shaft 14, is rotated via. The stopper member 37 is also rotated because the locking end 43 of the coil spring 41 is engaged with the engagement groove 39.

When the stopper lever is engaged with the check claw 40, the rotation of the stopper member 37 is stopped. Therefore, the locking end 43 of the coil spring 41 is also restrained. When the main driving wheel 31 is still rotated, the driven member 33 is locked by the locking end 43.
Although it is still slightly rotated due to the frictional force between the coil spring 41 and the tubular body 32 on the front side, the locking end 43 is restrained by the stopper member 37 as shown in FIG. The rotation of the member 33 acts on the locking end 42 in a direction that loosens the degree of contact of the coil spring 41 with the cylindrical body 32. Then, when the load on the driven side and the frictional force between the coil spring 41 and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 32 are balanced, the driving wheel 31 idles, and torque transmission to the driven side is stopped.
The rotation of the driven shaft 14 stops.

The size of the notch 38 provided in the stopper member 37 is such that a slight allowance is provided in the width that allows the driven member 33 to rotate until the main driving wheel 31 idles after the rotation of the stopper member 37 stops. All right. Stopper member 3
The plurality of engaging grooves 39 of the locking end 43 are provided in the table 7 in order to absorb the variation in the bending positions of the locking end 43 and the locking end 42 for each coil spring.

When torque is transmitted from the main driving wheel 31 to the driven side, as shown in FIG. 3, the locking end 42 is moved from the direction in which the coil spring 41 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 32 more and more. Press, so coil spring 4
The frictional force of No. 1 increases, and the driving force from the main driving wheel 31 is satisfactorily transmitted to the driven member 33 side.

Further, unlike the prior art, no load is applied to the engaging end 42 in the direction in which the bent portion extends, so that the driving force can always be reliably transmitted. This is important, and in the conventional case, as shown in FIG. 9, in order to prevent the locking end 27b from being fully loaded and the locking end 27b extending, the coil spring 27 is attached to the driven wheel 23 side. Although the load is shared by winding it around, the load is directly received by the coil spring 41 main body side via the locking end 42 as described above in the present embodiment. The stress is minimized and therefore in this embodiment the coil spring 4
1 may be provided so as to contact only the cylindrical body 32 from the inside.

This has the following effects. That is, since the coil spring 41 contacts only the cylindrical body 32, it is not necessary to perform processing to secure the outer diameters of the metal ring 22 and the driven wheel 23 with high precision as in the conventional case, and the cost can be reduced. The coil spring 4 is provided inside the cylindrical body 32.
Because of the simple structure containing 1, even if there is a temperature rise due to torque loss during idling, it is a single cylinder 32,
It is not necessary to use the metal ring 22 for matching the linear expansion coefficient with the driven wheel 23 as in the conventional case, and the main driving wheel 31 made of synthetic resin may be used as it is, so that the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since the cylindrical body 32 is formed of synthetic resin, it has self-lubricating properties, and it is possible to prevent abnormal noise from occurring without using lubricating oil, and the circularity and surface accuracy of the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 32 are improved. Even if it is not so much, the degree of close contact with the coil spring 41 is good due to the elastic deformation of the cylindrical body resin, and the closeness of contact is especially improved as the transmission torque increases, so that the accuracy of the cylindrical body 32 does not have to be so important and the cost is reduced. Can be realized. Further, cost reduction can be achieved by using a press member made of a metal plate as the fixing member.
