Definitions
- the present invention relates a gear for a power transmission mechanism, and more particularly to a gear which improves a transmission efficiency.
- gears have been employed in various power transmission mechanisms.
- Representative gears for vehicle transmission mechanisms are mainly made by steel, such as carburized steel, carbonitrided steel, and chromium molybdenum steel.
- Such gears for vehicle transmission mechanisms are required to reduce friction generated at the mesh between the gears in order to improve an output power and a fuel consumption of a vehicle. More specifically, there are a large number of meshes of gears in a planetary mechanism or speed reduction mechanism, and therefore, it has been strongly desired to decrease the frictions at the meshes of the gears in view of improving a power transmission efficiency of such mechanisms.
- An aspect of the present invention resides in a gear which comprises a tooth surface and a hard carbon film formed on at least a part of the tooth surface.
- Gears are generally slidingly contacted with each other during the revolution under an engaged (meshed) state with other gear. Therefore, reducing friction at tooth surfaces of gears is preferable in view of improving a power transmission efficiency of the gears.
- a gear of the present invention is constructed such that a hard carbon 10 film (coating) is formed on at least a part of the gear.
- This hard carbon film is a film of amorphous carbon or hydrogen containing amorphous carbon which is referenced as a-C:H (amorphous carbon or hydrogen containing amorphous carbon), i-C (i carbon) and DLC (diamond-like carbon).
- the friction coefficient of the film in lubricant becomes different from that in the dry condition.
- a normal hard carbon film is made of carbon and unavoidable impurity, or of carbon, hydrogen and unavoidable impurity.
- a reactivity of a surface of the hard carbon film is low, and this property relates to a low-friction and a low-abrasion thereof.
- the hard carbon film has a weak interaction relative to a base oil and additives in lubricant, a reduction merit of the friction coefficient in lubricant is relatively small as compared with that in the dry condition.
- the present invention has been achieved by thorough study as to a hard carbon film having a low-friction coefficient in lubricant, a preferable lubricant, and an additive component.
- a hard carbon film is formed on a tooth surface of a gear.
- the hard carbon film may be formed on a whole surface of the tooth surface of the gear or a partial surface of the tooth surface.
- a forming of a film on a bottom portion of each gear tooth is not easy as compared with that on a top portion of each gear tooth.
- it is not necessary to forcibly form the hard carbon film on the uneasy forming portion since the merit obtained by the hard carbon film is obtained according to a ratio of the film formed area. Further, even if a part of the film is worn out in use, the merit of the hard carbon film is maintained according to a size of the remaining hard carbon film.
- the hard carbon film may be formed on the whole of the tooth surface or may be formed on a part of the tooth surface.
- a film forming area of the hard carbon film may be properly determined upon taking account of a production cost, a productivity and a degree of the obtained merit.
- a base metal of the gear is not basically limited, a carburized steel and a chromium molybdenum steel are preferably used to ensure an impact strength and a bending fatigue strength necessary for a gear. Further, carbonitrided steel is preferably used to suppress the softening of the base metal due to the semi-high-temperature condition during the film production process.
- An intermediate layer may be formed between the base metal and the hard carbon film to decrease the strain between the base metal and the hard carbon film and to improve the adherence of the film relative to the base metal. A commonly known method may be employed to form the intermediate layer.
- the hard carbon film can be produced by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process or physical vapor deposition (PVD) process.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- PVD physical vapor deposition
- a hard carbon film formed by CVD process contains hydrogen due to raw materials of organic compound, and the hydrogen amount of such produced film ranges from 15 to 40 atom % (atomic percent).
- PVD process is capable of producing the hard carbon film with and/or without hydrogen.
- Various processes of PVD have been proposed and put in practical use.
- the hard carbon film of the gear according to the present invention is preferable to be formed by means of an arc ion plating or spattering, in view of the adherence of the film on the base metal.
- the hydrogen amount in the hard carbon film for the gear is as small as possible since the decrease of the hydrogen amount in the hard carbon film decreases the friction of the gear. Therefore, the hydrogen amount of the hard carbon film of the gear according to the present invention is set to be smaller than 1 atom %, and preferably smaller than 0.3 atom %. That is, it is preferable that the hard carbon film is formed by means of physical vapor deposition (PVC) process.
- the hydrogen amount in the hard carbon film is capable of being measured by a secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) or Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS).
- the gear according to the present invention exhibits an excellent characteristic, particularly when it is used in or with lubricant.
- the lubricant may be properly selected from a lubricant using mineral oil or synthetic oil as base oil, such as gear oil, vehicle engine oil, turbine oil and spindle oil.
- base oil such as gear oil, vehicle engine oil, turbine oil and spindle oil.
- poly- ⁇ -olefin is used as base oil of the lubricant, the friction decreasing merit is further improved. The reason thereof may be thought to be that poly- ⁇ -olefin oil has a property of easy adherence (deposition) onto the hard carbon film formed on the tooth surface of the gear.
- a compound including hydroxy group is added to lubricant as an additive, to further improve the friction reducing merit.
- the reason thereof is guessed that the said additive adheres on to the hard carbon film on the tooth surface of the gear through the hydroxy group.
- the number of the hydroxy groups included in a molecular of the additive is as large as possible, in view of increasing the adsorption strength. However, if the number of the hydroxy groups is too large, there causes a possibility that the additive is separated from the base oil due to the excessive hydrophilicity. Therefore, the molecular structure of the additive should be designed upon taking account of the above-discussed points.
- the molecular structure of the additive is designed such that the hydroxy groups are located as near as possible in the molecular structure in case that the number of the hydroxy groups in one molecular is the same.
- a typical molecular for the additive is secondary alcohol (dihdyric alcohol) and tertiary alcohol (trihydric alcohol).
- the additive amount of the additive may be properly varied according to a usage pattern of the lubricant relative to the gear, it is preferable that the additive amount relative to the lubricant is within a range from 0.5 to 8 weight %. If the additive amount is too small, the friction reducing merit becomes small. If too large, there is a possibility that the additive is separated from the base oil.
- ester is preferable, and monoester of glycerin is more preferable. It is preferable that the number of carbon atoms of fatty acid constructing glycerin monoester is greater than or equal to 8, and preferably greater than or equal to 12. If the molecule size of the fatty acid consisting the ester in the additive is small, a film directly formed on a surface of the hard carbon film due to the additive becomes too thin, and therefore the friction reducing merit is decreased thereby.
- Polyhydric alcohol except for glycerin may be employed as an ingredient for the fatty ester additive of the lubricant although it is disadvantageous in cost.
- lubricant is obtained by adding proper additives in base oil such as mineral oil or synthetic oil.
- base oil such as mineral oil or synthetic oil.
- lubricant including a hydroxy compound as a main component may be used instead of the above-discussed lubricant. If the lubricant including hydroxy compound is employed, the power transmission efficiency is largely improved.
- Alcohol is preferable as the above-discussed hydroxy compound, and particularly, glycerin performs a large friction reducing effect. Further, when the gear slides in ethylene glycol, the excellent friction reducing merit is ensured thereby subsequent to a case that glycerin is used as lubricant for gears.
- lubricant It is not necessary to construct the whole of the lubricant by the hydroxy compound.
- various known additives may be added in lubricant.
- the total amount of such additives in lubricant is normally set to be smaller than or equal to 15 vol. %.
- the gear according to the present invention is employed in a mechanism having a lot of mesh portions of gears, such as a planetary gear mechanism and a speed reducing mechanism, the performance of improving the power transmission efficient thereby is clearly ensured.
- a planetary gear mechanism is employed in a speed reduction mechanism, it is possible to obtain a large speed reduction ratio while suppressing the size of the speed reduction mechanism.
- setting the speed reduction ratio at a large value radically degrades the power transmission efficiency. Accordingly, by using the gear according to the present invention as at least one of a sun gear, planetary gears and a ring gear of a planetary gear mechanism for a speed reduction mechanism, the degradation of the power transmission efficiency in the speed reduction mechanism is suppressed.

- Example 21 performed the excellent power transmission efficiency.
- Example 16 is subsequently preferable in case that the selection of lubricant is limited such that the lubricant is commonly used in the other sliding pair. In case that both of cost and power transmission efficiency are balancedly minded, Example 8 through 10 are subsequently preferable.
- the gear according to the present invention by film the hard carbon film on al least a part of tooth face of the gear, it becomes possible to largely decrease the friction of the gear relative to the counter gear (meshed gear). Further, by employing a specifically blended lubricant, the friction of the gear is further preferably decreased. This provides the gear further improved in power transmission efficiency. Specifically, in case that lubricant may be freely selected, a largely improved power transmission efficiency is obtained by a lubricant wherein alcohol group is used as a main component of the lubricant. Further, the gear according to the present invention is preferably adapted to a mechanism which has a lot of gear meshing portions, such as a planetary gear mechanism and speed reduction mechanism.
