それぞれ係止している。In this torque limiter, a case 2 and a cover plate 3 cover the outer side of an inner ring 1 through which a shaft 4 is inserted, and a part of a coil spring 5 is wound around the inner ring 1 inside the closed space.
One end of the coil spring 5 is locked to the case 2, and the other end is locked to the cover plate 3.

がコイルバネ５と内輪１を結合又は離反させ、ケース２
と軸４間におけるトルクの伝達と遮断を切換えている。In the above structure, the binding force or the frictional force generated between the winding portion 5a of the coil spring 5 and the outer diameter surface of the inner ring 1 couples or separates the coil spring 5 and the inner ring 1 and the case 2
The torque transmission and interruption between the shaft 4 and the shaft 4 are switched.

グリースが封入されている。In this case, the contact portion between the coil spring 5 on which a strong frictional force acts and the inner ring 1 must always be lubricated, and normally, the enclosed space 6 covered with the inner ring 1, the case 2 and the lid plate 3 is filled with grease. Has been done.
【０００６】また、内輪１は、全体が焼結金属等の多孔

滑の補完と接触部における防錆を図っている。The inner ring 1 is entirely made of a porous material such as a sintered metal, and the inside thereof is impregnated with oil to complement the lubrication and prevent corrosion at the contact portion.

外部に漏出しやすい傾向がある。In the conventional torque limiter as described above, grease is enclosed as the lubricating oil in the closed space 6 and the entire inner ring 1 is impregnated with the oil, so that it is held inside the torque limiter. The amount of oil content increases significantly, and the retained lubricating oil tends to leak to the outside due to the increase in internal pressure due to the oil content.
【０００８】また、多孔質材料で形成された内輪１の内
径面が直接軸４に接触しているために、トルクリミッタ
内部の潤滑油が、時間の経過とともに内輪１の内部を通
して軸４の表面へにじみ出す問題がある。Further, since the inner diameter surface of the inner ring 1 made of a porous material is in direct contact with the shaft 4, the lubricating oil inside the torque limiter passes through the inside of the inner ring 1 over time and the surface of the shaft 4 passes. There is a problem of bleeding.
【０００９】さらに、内輪１の端面７とケース２の内側
端面８とが密着した状態にあるため、その端面７、８間
に生じる浸透圧によって内部の潤滑油がケース２の外部
に漏れ出しやすい欠点もある。Further, since the end surface 7 of the inner ring 1 and the inner end surface 8 of the case 2 are in close contact with each other, the osmotic pressure generated between the end surfaces 7 and 8 easily causes the internal lubricating oil to leak out of the case 2. There are also drawbacks.
【００１０】このようなトルクリミッタから漏れ出した
潤滑油は、事務機器内の他の部品や紙等に付着し、安定
した作動を阻害しやすい不具合がある。Lubricating oil leaking from such a torque limiter adheres to other parts in office equipment, paper, and the like, and tends to impede stable operation.

クリミッタを提供することを目的としている。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a torque limiter which solves the above problems and which can maintain good lubrication between an inner ring and a coil spring and can reliably prevent the lubricating oil from leaking to the outside. I am trying.

コイルバネの巻付き長さとほぼ等しく設定したのであ
る。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention forms an inner ring with a sleeve made of a non-porous material and a porous ring fitted to the outer diameter surface of the sleeve. The length of the porous ring is set to be substantially equal to the winding length of the coil spring around the inner ring.
【００１３】また、この発明の第２の手段は、上記多孔
質リングとケースの内側端面との間に、油溜り用のすき
間を設けた構造としたのである。The second means of the present invention has a structure in which a gap for storing oil is provided between the porous ring and the inner end surface of the case.

孔質リングの大きさを、コイルバネの巻付け長さだけに
ほぼ限定したので、トルクリミッタ内部に保有する潤滑
油の量を少なくでき、油圧力による潤滑油の漏れ出しを
抑えることができる。In the above structure, since the size of the porous ring for impregnating the oil is substantially limited only to the winding length of the coil spring, the amount of lubricating oil retained inside the torque limiter can be reduced and the oil pressure can be reduced. It is possible to prevent the lubricating oil from leaking out.
【００１５】また、多孔質リングと軸が直接接触せず、
非多孔質のスリーブが間に介在するため、内輪の内部を
通して潤滑油が浸透することがなく、軸表面へのにじみ
出しが防止される。Further, the porous ring and the shaft do not come into direct contact with each other,
Since the non-porous sleeve is interposed between them, the lubricating oil does not permeate through the inside of the inner ring, and the exudation to the shaft surface is prevented.
【００１６】一方、第２の手段のように、多孔質リング

内部に停滞し、内輪とケースの端面間の浸透圧が低下す

が防止される。On the other hand, if a gap is provided between the porous ring and the end surface of the case as in the second means, the lubricating oil will remain inside the case and the osmotic pressure between the inner ring and the end surface of the case will decrease. It is possible to prevent the lubricating oil from leaking to the outside of the case through the end surface.

それぞれ係止されている。A part of the inner diameter surface of the coil spring 5 is wound around the outer diameter surface of the porous ring 10. One end of the coil spring 5 is engaged with the end surface of the case 2 and the other end is engaged with the end surface of the cover plate 3. It has been stopped.

いる。The case 2 and the cover plate 3 are made of a synthetic resin which is not impregnated with lubricating oil, and a closed space 6 surrounded by the case 2, the cover plate 3 and the inner ring 1 is filled with grease.

いる。The porous ring 10 is formed with a length slightly larger than the length L of the winding portion 5a of the coil spring 5, and between the end face of the porous ring 10 and the inner end face 8 of the case 2. Has a gap 11 for the oil sump.

１４が設けられている。A through hole 12 through which the shaft 4 is inserted is formed inside the sleeve 9, and the shaft 4 is provided at the end of the sleeve 9.
A fitting groove 14 for the key 13 for transmitting torque between the sleeve 9 and the sleeve 9 is provided.

リースとオイル圧力の相乗効果による潤滑油の漏れ出し
を抑えることができる。In the torque limiter of the embodiment having the above structure, since the oil-impregnated porous ring 10 is reduced to only the length of the winding portion 5a of the coil spring 5, the structure is different from that of the conventional structure shown in FIG. Thus, the absolute amount of oil with which the inner ring 1 is impregnated can be reduced. Therefore, the amount of lubricating oil retained inside the torque limiter is reduced, and the leakage of lubricating oil due to the synergistic effect of grease and oil pressure can be suppressed.

じみ出しが防止される。The impregnating porous ring 10 and the shaft 4 do not come into direct contact with each other, and the resin sleeve 9 interposed therebetween blocks the permeation of the lubricating oil, so that the lubricating oil moves through the inside of the inner ring 1. This is prevented, and the exudation to the surface of the shaft 4 is prevented.

められる。In addition, a gap 11 is provided between the porous ring 10 and the end surface of the case 2, and a space is formed between the sleeve 9 on the torque generating side and the end surface of the case 2 to serve as an oil reservoir. The grease or oil that is about to leak from 6 to the outside of the case 2 is stagnant in the gap 11. Therefore, due to the labyrinth effect that occurs in the gap,
The osmotic pressure generated between the inner ring 1 and the end faces 7 and 8 of the case 2 is reduced, and the movement of the lubricating oil that leaks out of the case 2 is stopped.

材料で形成することもできる。Although the sleeve 9, the case 2 and the cover plate 3 are made of synthetic resin in the embodiment, they may be made of other non-porous material such as metal, as long as they do not allow the lubricating oil to penetrate. It can also be formed.

れ出しを確実に防止することができる。As described above, according to the present invention, the length of the porous portion impregnated with the lubricating oil in the inner ring is limited to only the winding portion of the coil spring, and the direct contact between the porous portion and the shaft is eliminated. It is possible to reduce the amount of lubricating oil held inside the torque limiter while maintaining a good lubrication state of the contact portion between the coil spring and the inner ring, and to reliably prevent leakage of lubricating oil through the inner ring. .
