The communication oil passage 1c branches off and communicates with a lubricating oil chamber formed inside the lubricating oil housing 4 fitted in the lubricating oil chamber recess 2b. When the internal combustion engine is driven and the input shaft 5 rotates, the lubricating oil flows in the lubricating oil passage 5b toward the output shaft 1, and the lubricating oil housing 4 passes through the lubricating oil main passage 1b and the communication oil passage 1c. Lubricating oil is supplied to a lubricating oil chamber formed therein, and lubricating oil is introduced into an inlet opening of a trunk oil passage 3a of each lubricating oil passage 3 directed to the lubricating oil chamber.

1 is introduced from a lubricating oil chamber formed by attaching the lubricating oil housing 4 to the output shaft 1 and the end surface of the spline gear 2 to thereby output the lubricating oil to the output shaft as described in the prior art. An oil passage for supplying lubricating oil to the joint between the outer peripheral surface 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the spline gear 2 becomes unnecessary, and the oil pressure from the oil passage makes the crimping between the output shaft 1 and the spline gear 2 insufficient. Things are avoided.

In order to supply the pressurized oil, a drain oil groove 1f is provided on the outer periphery of the output shaft 1 and communicates with the lubricating oil chamber in the lubricating oil housing 4 by the drain oil passages 1d and 1e. The opening of the draining oil passage 1d to the lubricating oil chamber is usually provided with a plug 10 so that lubricating oil does not enter the draining oil passages 1d, 1e and the draining oil groove 1f. When the spline gear 2 is disengaged from the output shaft 1, the plug 10 is removed, and the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil chamber flows into the draining oil groove 1f via the draining oil passages 1d and 1e. Oil leakage from the groove 1f permeates between the outer peripheral surface of the output shaft 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the spline gear 2 to facilitate drainage.

発生するおそれがある。Next, the structure of the lubricating oil passage 3 for uniformly supplying the lubricating oil to all the steel plates 6 and the friction plates 7 of the forward clutch C1 will be described. All the lubricating oil passages 3 provided in the spline gear 2 shown in FIG. 1 have the same configuration, that is, the length of the trunk oil passage 3a is constant, and the number of lubricating oils is sufficient to supply lubricating oil to the entire length region of the forward clutch C1. The branch oil passages 3b are arranged, and the diameter of each branch oil passage 3b is also constant. In this case, the number of the branch oil passages 3b communicating with one trunk oil passage 3a is considerably large, and the branch oil passage 3b communicating with the innermost portion of the trunk oil passage 3a is formed at the inlet opening of the trunk oil passage 3a. Is much farther than the department. For this reason, the lubricating oil is not sufficiently supplied to the branch oil passage 3b farther from the inlet opening of the trunk oil passage 3a, and the lubricating oil is supplied from the branch oil passage 3b. The steel plate 6 and the friction plate 7 farther from the cylinder 9 (hereinafter, the inlet opening of the lubricating oil passage 3 or the side farther than the operating cylinder 9 for forward movement is referred to as the back side and the near side as the front side) are lubricated. Oil may not be supplied sufficiently and seizure may occur.

着が不十分となるという事態が回避される。According to the present invention, the lubricating oil supply structure for the wet multi-plate clutch is configured as described above, and has the following effects. First, since the spline gear 2 is configured as described in claim 1, the spline gear 2 is fixedly mounted around the output shaft 1.
The lubricating oil housing attached to the flat surface of the end of the spline gear 2 instead of the press contact between the outer surface of the output shaft 1 and the inner surface of the spline gear 2 for the wet multi-plate clutch disposed on the outer surface of the spline gear 2 The lubricating oil is supplied from inside the lubricating oil passage 3 through the lubricating oil passage 3. That is, in order to supply the lubricating oil to the wet-type multi-plate clutch, the output shaft 1 There is no need to provide a lubricating oil passage communicating with the press contact portion between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the spline gear 2, and oil leakage from the lubricating oil passage provided in the output shaft 1 at the press contact portion is eliminated. Due to the occurrence, the situation where the pressure contact between the output shaft 1 and the spline gear 2 becomes insufficient is avoided.

By configuring as described, each lubricating oil passage 3 has a limited lubricating oil supply area such as the front side and the back side of the wet multi-plate clutch based on the length setting of the oil passage 3a, and one trunk oil The amount of lubricating oil supplied to the branch oil passage 3b in each lubricating oil passage 3 can be increased by the amount by which the number of branch oil passages 3b connected to the passage 3a can be reduced. When arranging the lubricating oil passages 3 radially around the output shaft 1, the lubricating oil passages 3 having the trunk oil passages 3a having different lengths are alternately arranged, so that the entire length range of the wet-type multi-plate clutch is provided. Lubricating oil can be supplied evenly.
