 本発明は、下位体の上部に旋回体が旋回自在に設けられるとともにアクチュエータ駆動用のエンジンと電動発電機とを有するハイブリッド建設機械において用いられ、電動発電機に連結されるとともに旋回体を旋回駆動するハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置に関する。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is used in a hybrid construction machine in which a swinging body is provided on an upper part of a lower body so as to be rotatable, and is used in a hybrid construction machine having an actuator driving engine and a motor generator. The present invention relates to a turning drive device for a hybrid construction machine.
 下部走行体として構成された下位体の上部に旋回体が旋回自在に設けられたショベル機等の建設機械において、アクチュエータ駆動用のエンジンと電動発電機とを有するハイブリッド建設機械が知られている(特許文献1を参照)。特許文献1に開示されたハイブリッド建設機械においては、エンジンと、このエンジンにより駆動される油圧ポンプと、油圧ポンプからの吐出油により駆動される油圧アクチュエータとが設けられるとともに、第1電動機及び第2電動機と蓄電装置とが設けられている。第1電動機はエンジンによって駆動され、この第1電動機による発電電力が蓄電装置に充電される。そして、蓄電装置の電力によって第2電動機が駆動され、これにより、旋回体が旋回駆動される。また、第2電動機は、旋回体の旋回制動時には、旋回体の慣性エネルギを電気エネルギに変換して回生するように発電作動する電動発電機として設けられている。この電動発電機による発電電力は、蓄電装置に充電される。 In a construction machine such as an excavator in which a swinging body is provided so as to be capable of swinging on an upper part of a lower body configured as a lower traveling body, a hybrid construction machine having an engine for driving an actuator and a motor generator is known ( (See Patent Document 1). In the hybrid construction machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, an engine, a hydraulic pump driven by the engine, and a hydraulic actuator driven by oil discharged from the hydraulic pump are provided, and a first electric motor and a second electric motor are provided. An electric motor and a power storage device are provided. The first electric motor is driven by the engine, and the electric power generated by the first electric motor is charged in the power storage device. And the 2nd electric motor is driven with the electric power of an electrical storage apparatus, and, thereby, a turning body is driven to turn. Further, the second electric motor is provided as a motor generator that performs a power generation operation so that the inertia energy of the revolving structure is converted into electric energy and regenerated during the turning braking of the revolving structure. The electric power generated by the motor generator is charged in the power storage device.
 特許文献1に開示されたハイブリッド建設機械においては、上記の第2電動機として構成された電動発電機に連結されるとともに旋回体を旋回駆動する駆動装置(減速機13)として設けられたハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置が備えられている。また、特許文献2においては、電動モータに連結されて旋回体を旋回駆動する建設機械用の旋回駆動装置として、3段式の遊星歯車機構を備えた駆動装置が開示されている。 In the hybrid construction machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the hybrid construction machine is provided as a drive device (reduction gear 13) that is connected to the motor generator configured as the second electric motor and that drives the turning body to turn.

 ハイブリッド建設機械において、上記の電動発電機の小型化を図るとともにこの電動発電機における回生能力を高めるためには、電動発電機に対して高速の回転が入力されるように構成されることが望ましい。このためには、ハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置として、増速比の高い旋回駆動装置が必要となる。ハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置として、特許文献2に開示されたような3段式の遊星歯車機構を有する旋回駆動装置を用いることで、増速比を高めたハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置を実現することが考えられる。 In a hybrid construction machine, in order to reduce the size of the motor generator and increase the regenerative capacity of the motor generator, it is preferable that high speed rotation is input to the motor generator. . For this purpose, a turning drive device with a high speed increase ratio is required as a turning drive device for hybrid construction equipment. By using a swivel drive device having a three-stage planetary gear mechanism as disclosed in Patent Document 2 as a swivel drive device for hybrid construction equipment, a swivel drive device for hybrid construction equipment with an increased speed increase ratio is realized. It is possible to do.
 しかしながら、特許文献2に開示された旋回駆動装置の場合、上述のように3段式の遊星歯車機構を備えて構成されるため、駆動力の伝達経路において、歯の噛み合い部やスプライン結合部が非常に多く存在してしまうことになり、バックラッシュの増大を招いてしまうことになる。このため、ショベル機におけるバケット部分のような旋回体の先端部において、旋回動作の停止時における揺り戻しの発生による揺動範囲が大きくなってしまうことになる。これにより、ハイブリッド建設機械を操縦している操縦者が所望の箇所にバケット部分のような旋回体の先端部を停止させる操作を行うことが困難になってしまい、操作性の悪化を招いてしまうことになる。 However, in the case of the turning drive device disclosed in Patent Document 2, since it is configured with the three-stage planetary gear mechanism as described above, the tooth meshing portion and the spline coupling portion are not provided in the driving force transmission path. As a result, there will be a large amount of backlash, which will increase backlash. For this reason, the rocking | fluctuation range by generation | occurrence | production of rocking | fluctuation at the time of the stop of turning operation | movement will become large in the front-end | tip part of a turning body like the bucket part in a shovel machine. As a result, it becomes difficult for the operator who is operating the hybrid construction machine to perform an operation of stopping the tip of the revolving body such as the bucket portion at a desired location, resulting in deterioration of operability. It will be.
 本発明は、上記実情に鑑みることにより、高い増速比を確保して電動発電機に高速の回転を入力することができるとともに、操縦者が所望の箇所に旋回体の先端部を容易に停止させる操作を行うことができて操作性の向上を図ることができるハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above circumstances, the present invention can ensure a high speed increase ratio and input high-speed rotation to the motor generator, and the operator can easily stop the tip of the revolving unit at a desired location. It is an object of the present invention to provide a turning drive device for a hybrid construction machine that can perform an operation to be performed and can improve operability.

It is related with the turning drive apparatus for hybrid construction machines which is connected in the said motor generator, and drives the turning body to turn. The turning drive device for a hybrid construction machine according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a case, a plurality of inner teeth disposed on the inner periphery of the case, and an outer tooth that is housed in the case and meshes with the inner teeth. The external gear provided on the external gear and a crank hole formed in the external gear, and when the driving force is transmitted, the external gear is rotated to eccentrically swing the external gear, and the external gear is rotated. When the gear swings and rotates, the crankshaft is rotated by the driving force from the external gear, the end carrier that rotatably holds one end of the crankshaft, and the other end of the crankshaft is rotatable. A carrier having a base carrier to be held on, a support for connecting the end carrier and the base carrier, and the other end connected to the rotating shaft of the motor generator and opposite to the motor generator Side edge A first input / output shaft provided with an input / output gear portion, and a crank that is fixed to one end of the crankshaft via a first spline coupling portion and teeth formed on the outer periphery mesh with the input / output gear portion A shaft gear, a second input / output shaft formed integrally with the base carrier, and a ring gear fixed to the second input / output shaft via a second spline coupling portion and provided in the lower body A rated rotation speed of the motor generator is set in a range of 6000 rpm to 10000 rpm, and an increase in driving force transmitted from the pinion to the first input / output shaft. The speed ratio is set in a range of 60 or more and 110 or less, between the input / output gear portion and the crankshaft gear, between the first spline coupling portion, the crankshaft and the external gear. And the total amount of backlash between the first input / output shaft and the pinion defined by the external gear and the internal teeth and the second spline coupling portion is 0.25 degrees. It is characterized by being set in the range of 0.50 degrees or less.
 この発明によると、ハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置が、キャリアに回転自在に保持されたクランク軸の回転とともにケースの内周の内歯に噛み合う外歯歯車が偏心して揺動回転する偏心揺動型の駆動機構を備えて構成されている。そして、電動発電機の回転軸に連結される第1入出力軸は、クランク軸の一端側に固定されるクランク軸用歯車と噛み合い、下位体のリングギアに噛み合うピニオンが固定される第2入出力軸は、キャリアの基部キャリアに一体形成される。このため、第1入出力軸とピニオンとの間の駆動力伝達経路において、高い増速比を容易に確保することができるとともに、定格回転数が高速の6000rpm以上10000rpm以下の範囲に設定された電動発電機に対して高速の回転を入力することができる。そして、ピニオンから第1入出力軸に駆動力が伝達される際の増速比が60以上110以下の範囲に設定されることで、電動発電機における回生能力を十分に高い水準まで効率よく高めることができる。尚、増速比が60以上に設定されることで十分な回生能力が得られ、増速比が110を超えると回生能力を高める効果が急速に収束してしまうことになる。 According to the present invention, the swing drive device for a hybrid construction machine is an eccentric oscillating type in which the external gear meshing with the inner teeth on the inner periphery of the case is eccentrically oscillated with the rotation of the crankshaft rotatably held by the carrier. The drive mechanism is provided. The first input / output shaft connected to the rotating shaft of the motor generator meshes with the crankshaft gear fixed to one end of the crankshaft, and the second input is fixed to the pinion that meshes with the lower ring gear. The output shaft is integrally formed with the base carrier of the carrier. For this reason, in the driving force transmission path between the first input / output shaft and the pinion, a high speed increasing ratio can be easily ensured, and the rated rotational speed is set to a high speed range of 6000 rpm to 10,000 rpm. High speed rotation can be input to the motor generator. The speed increasing ratio when the driving force is transmitted from the pinion to the first input / output shaft is set in the range of 60 to 110, thereby efficiently increasing the regeneration capacity of the motor generator to a sufficiently high level. be able to. In addition, sufficient regenerative capability is obtained by setting the speed increase ratio to 60 or more, and when the speed increase ratio exceeds 110, the effect of increasing the regenerative capacity is rapidly converged.
 また、特許文献2に開示されたような3段式の遊星歯車機構を有する旋回駆動装置の場合、歯の噛み合い部分やスプライン結合部が非常に多くの箇所に存在してしまうことになる。しかし、本発明によると、歯の噛み合い部分やスプライン結合部としては、入出力ギア部及びクランク軸用歯車の間と、第1スプライン結合部と、クランク軸及び外歯歯車の間と、外歯歯車及び内歯の間と、第2スプライン結合部とが存在し、相当に少ない箇所のみに存在する構成となる。そして、上記の箇所によって規定される第1入出力軸からピニオンまでの間のバックラッシュ量の合計が、0.25度以上0.50度以下の範囲に設定されることで、駆動効率の低下を抑制しつつ、バックラッシュを十分に低減することができる。これにより、旋回動作の停止時における揺り戻しの発生による揺動範囲を小さくすることができ、操縦者が所望の箇所に旋回体の先端部を停止させる操作を容易に行うことができる。尚、上記バックラッシュ量の合計について、0.25度未満となると駆動効率の急激な低下を招いてしまうことになり、0.50度を超えると旋回動作の停止時における揺り戻しの揺動範囲が急激に大きくなってしまうことになる。従って、このハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置によると、高い増速比を確保して電動発電機に高速の回転を入力することができるとともに、操縦者が所望の箇所に旋回体の先端部を容易に停止させる操作を行うことができて操作性の向上を図ることができる。 Further, in the case of a turning drive device having a three-stage planetary gear mechanism as disclosed in Patent Document 2, tooth engagement portions and spline coupling portions are present in a large number of locations. However, according to the present invention, the tooth meshing portion and the spline coupling portion include the input / output gear portion and the crankshaft gear, the first spline coupling portion, the crankshaft and the external gear, and the external teeth. Between the gear and the internal teeth and the second spline coupling portion is present, and it is configured to exist only in a considerably small number of places. The total amount of backlash between the first input / output shaft and the pinion defined by the above location is set in the range of 0.25 degrees or more and 0.50 degrees or less, resulting in a decrease in driving efficiency. It is possible to sufficiently reduce backlash while suppressing the above. As a result, the swing range due to the occurrence of swing back when the turning operation is stopped can be reduced, and the operator can easily perform the operation of stopping the tip of the turning body at a desired location. If the total backlash amount is less than 0.25 degrees, the driving efficiency is drastically reduced. If the total backlash amount exceeds 0.50 degrees, the swing range of the swingback when the turning operation is stopped Will grow rapidly. Therefore, according to the swing drive device for hybrid construction equipment, a high speed increase ratio can be ensured and high-speed rotation can be input to the motor generator, and the operator can easily place the tip of the swing body at a desired location. It is possible to perform an operation to stop the operation and improve operability.
 第2発明に係るハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置は、第1発明のハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置において、前記支柱と前記クランク軸とは、前記キャリアの周方向に沿って交互に並んで配置され、前記支柱は、前記キャリアの軸方向に垂直な断面が前記キャリアの径方向における当該支柱の中央部分の内側に偏った位置において凹む形状に形成されるように、側面に凹み部分が設けられ、前記外歯歯車に設けられて前記支柱が貫通する支柱貫通孔における前記支柱に対向する側面部分が、前記支柱における前記凹み部分に沿うように前記支柱貫通孔の内側に向かって張り出した側面部分として設けられていることを特徴とする。 The turning drive device for a hybrid construction machine according to a second aspect of the invention is the turning drive device for a hybrid construction equipment of the first aspect, wherein the support column and the crankshaft are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the carrier. The support is provided with a recessed portion on the side surface so that a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the carrier is formed in a recessed shape at a position biased to the inside of the central portion of the support in the radial direction of the carrier, As a side surface portion that is provided on the external gear and that faces the column in the column through hole through which the column penetrates, projects toward the inside of the column through hole so as to follow the recessed portion of the column.

On the other hand, the main bearing 50b is configured as a self-aligning roller bearing that rotatably holds the base carrier 23 and the second input / output shaft 14 with respect to the inner peripheral side of the case 11 on the outer peripheral side thereof.
 外歯歯車22は、平行に配置された状態でケース11内に収納される第1外歯歯車22aと第2外歯歯車22bとで構成されている。第1外歯歯車22a及び第2外歯歯車22bにはそれぞれ、クランク軸20が貫通するクランク用孔30、及び、支柱25が貫通する支柱貫通孔46が形成されている。第1外歯歯車22a及び第2外歯歯車22bは、回転中心線Pと平行な方向において、クランク用孔30及び支柱貫通孔46の位置がそれぞれ対応するように配置されている。外歯歯車22(22a、22b)のクランク用孔30は、円形孔として形成され、クランク軸20に対応して外歯歯車22の周方向に沿って均等角度の位置に複数(本実施形態では3つ)配置されている。また、支柱貫通孔46は、支柱25の断面形状に対応した孔として形成され、支柱25に対応して外歯歯車22の周方向に沿った均等角度の位置に複数(本実施形態では3つ)配置されている。また、支柱貫通孔46は、外歯歯車22の周方向において、クランク用孔30と交互に形成されている。尚、支柱貫通孔46には、支柱25が遊嵌状態で貫通している。 The external gear 22 is composed of a first external gear 22a and a second external gear 22b housed in the case 11 in a state of being arranged in parallel. The first external gear 22a and the second external gear 22b are respectively formed with a crank hole 30 through which the crankshaft 20 passes and a column through hole 46 through which the column 25 passes. The first external gear 22a and the second external gear 22b are arranged such that the positions of the crank hole 30 and the column through hole 46 correspond to each other in the direction parallel to the rotation center line P. The crank hole 30 of the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) is formed as a circular hole, and a plurality of (in the present embodiment, at the same angle position along the circumferential direction of the external gear 22 corresponding to the crankshaft 20). 3) Arranged. Further, the column through holes 46 are formed as holes corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the column 25, and a plurality of (three in this embodiment) are arranged at equal angle positions along the circumferential direction of the external gear 22 corresponding to the columns 25. ) Is arranged. Further, the support through holes 46 are formed alternately with the crank holes 30 in the circumferential direction of the external gear 22. In addition, the support | pillar 25 has penetrated the support | pillar through-hole 46 in the loose fitting state.
 また、第1外歯歯車22a及び第2外歯歯車22bのそれぞれの外周には、ピン内歯15に噛み合う外歯47が設けられている。尚、第1外歯歯車22a及び第2外歯歯車22bの外歯47の歯数は、ピン内歯15の歯数よりも1個又は複数個少なくなるように設けられている。このため、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)は、クランク軸20の回転に対応して回転する際、及び、自ら回転することでクランク軸20を回転させる際には、噛み合う外歯47とピン内歯15との噛み合いがずれ、偏心して揺動回転することになる。 Also, external teeth 47 that mesh with the pin internal teeth 15 are provided on the outer circumferences of the first external gear 22a and the second external gear 22b. Note that the number of teeth of the external teeth 47 of the first external gear 22a and the second external gear 22b is provided to be one or more than the number of teeth of the pin internal teeth 15. For this reason, when the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) rotates corresponding to the rotation of the crankshaft 20 and when rotating the crankshaft 20 by rotating itself, the external gear 47 and the pin that mesh with each other are rotated. The meshing with the inner teeth 15 is shifted, and the eccentric teeth are eccentrically rotated.

These external tooth bearings (48, 49) are configured as cylindrical roller bearings (or needle roller bearings).
 ここで、支柱25及び外歯歯車22(22a、22b)の形状について更に詳しく説明する。図4は、図2に示す旋回駆動装置1のB-B線矢視位置から見た断面図である。尚、図4は、旋回駆動装置1について、図2に対して拡大した状態で示している。 Here, the shapes of the support column 25 and the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) will be described in more detail. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the turning drive device 1 shown in FIG. 2 as viewed from the position indicated by arrows BB. 4 shows the swivel drive device 1 in an enlarged state with respect to FIG.
 図4によく示すように、各支柱25は、キャリア21の軸方向に垂直な断面(即ち、回転中心線Pに垂直な断面)がキャリア21の径方向における各支柱25の中央部分の内側に偏った位置において凹む形状に形成されるように、側面に凹み部分25aが設けられている。凹み部分25aは、各支柱25に一対で設けられ、各支柱25においてキャリア21の周方向における両側の各側面にそれぞれ設けられている。 As shown well in FIG. 4, each strut 25 has a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction of the carrier 21 (that is, a cross section perpendicular to the rotation center line P) inside the central portion of each strut 25 in the radial direction of the carrier 21. A recessed portion 25a is provided on the side surface so as to be formed in a recessed shape at the biased position. A pair of recessed portions 25 a is provided on each support column 25, and is provided on each side surface of each support column 25 on both sides in the circumferential direction of the carrier 21.
 また、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)に設けられて各支柱25が貫通する各支柱貫通孔46における各支柱25に対向する側面部分46aが、各支柱25における凹み部分25aに沿うように支柱貫通孔46の内側に向かって張り出した側面部分46aとして設けられている。側面部分46aは、各支柱貫通孔46に一対で設けられ、各支柱貫通孔46において外歯歯車22(22a、22b)の周方向における両側の各側面にそれぞれ設けられている。各側面部分46aは、上記のように、各凹み部分25aに沿って設けられており、各凹み部分25aに対応して湾曲して張り出す形状に形成されている。 Further, the support pillars 22a and 22b are provided on the external gears 22 (22a and 22b) so that the side face portions 46a of the support pillar through holes 46 through which the support pillars 25 pass are opposed to the support pillars 25 along the recessed portions 25a of the support pillars 25. It is provided as a side surface portion 46 a protruding toward the inside of the through hole 46. A pair of side surface portions 46 a are provided in each column through hole 46, and each column side through hole 46 is provided on each side surface on both sides in the circumferential direction of the external gear 22 (22 a, 22 b). As described above, each side surface portion 46a is provided along each recessed portion 25a, and is formed in a shape that curves and protrudes corresponding to each recessed portion 25a.
 また、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)においては、側面部分46aとクランク用孔30との間の部分の肉厚寸法が、要求される強度が確保される範囲で薄く形成されている。即ち、クランク用孔30及び外歯用軸受(48、49)が、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)の周方向の両側に配置された側面部分46aに対して、より接近した位置に配置されるように、上記の肉厚寸法が設定されている。これにより、第1偏心部20a及び第2偏心部20bの大径化が図られ、クランク軸20の径方向の寸法が大きくなるように設定されている。 Further, in the external gear 22 (22a, 22b), the thickness dimension of the portion between the side surface portion 46a and the crank hole 30 is formed thin as long as the required strength is ensured. That is, the crank hole 30 and the external tooth bearings (48, 49) are disposed at positions closer to the side surface portions 46a disposed on both sides in the circumferential direction of the external gear 22 (22a, 22b). As described above, the above wall thickness dimension is set. Thereby, the diameter of the first eccentric portion 20a and the second eccentric portion 20b is increased, and the radial dimension of the crankshaft 20 is set to be large.
 また、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)においては、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)の半径方向に延びるとともに外歯用軸受(48、49)の外周に接する接線R(図4にて二点鎖線Rで示す接線)のそれぞれに対して支柱貫通孔46の全てが外歯用軸受(48、49)と反対側に配置されている。即ち、支柱貫通孔46は、接線Rと交わることなく、接線Rに対して外歯用軸受(47、48)と反対側に配置されている。このため、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)において、クランク用孔30と支柱貫通孔46との間の部分に対して外歯歯車22(22a、22b)の半径方向における外周側の部分であって外歯47の近傍の部分の肉厚を厚くすることができる。これにより、凹み部分25aを形成しても図2乃至図4に示す旋回駆動装置1のように、ピン内歯15の本数が比較的少なくてピン内歯15の1本当りの負荷が大きい旋回駆動装置1の場合であっても、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)におけるクランク用孔30と支柱貫通孔46と外歯47とが回りに配置された部分での十分な強度を確保することができる。 Further, in the external gear 22 (22a, 22b), a tangent line R (two in FIG. 4) extends in the radial direction of the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) and contacts the outer periphery of the external tooth bearing (48, 49). All of the column through holes 46 are arranged on the opposite side of the external tooth bearings (48, 49) with respect to each of the tangents indicated by the dotted line R). That is, the column through hole 46 is disposed on the opposite side of the tangent line R from the external tooth bearings (47, 48) without intersecting the tangent line R. For this reason, in the external gear 22 (22a, 22b), it is a portion on the outer peripheral side in the radial direction of the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) with respect to the portion between the crank hole 30 and the column through hole 46. Thus, the thickness of the portion in the vicinity of the outer teeth 47 can be increased. As a result, even if the recessed portion 25a is formed, as in the turning drive device 1 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the turning has a relatively small number of pin inner teeth 15 and a large load per pin inner tooth 15. Even in the case of the driving device 1, sufficient strength is ensured at the portion where the crank hole 30, the column through hole 46, and the external teeth 47 are arranged around the external gear 22 (22 a, 22 b). Can do.
 上述した旋回駆動装置1は、ピニオン17から第1入出力軸12に対して駆動力が伝達される際における増速比が、60以上で110以下の範囲に設定されている。また、この旋回駆動装置1においては、バックラッシュ量の合計は、入出力ギア部12a及びクランク軸用歯車19の間と、第1スプライン結合部16と、外歯用軸受(48、49)を介したクランク軸20及び外歯歯車22の間と、外歯歯車22及びピン内歯15の間と、第2スプライン結合部18と、によって規定されることになる。そして、旋回駆動装置1では、このバックラッシュ量の合計が、0.25度(°)以上で0.50度(°)以下の範囲に設定されている。 In the turning drive device 1 described above, the speed increasing ratio when the driving force is transmitted from the pinion 17 to the first input / output shaft 12 is set in the range of 60 or more and 110 or less. Further, in this turning drive device 1, the total amount of backlash is calculated between the input / output gear portion 12a and the crankshaft gear 19, the first spline coupling portion 16, and the external tooth bearings (48, 49). Between the crankshaft 20 and the external gear 22, between the external gear 22 and the pin internal teeth 15, and the second spline coupling portion 18. In the turning drive device 1, the total amount of backlash is set in a range of 0.25 degrees (°) or more and 0.50 degrees (°) or less.
 次に、上述した旋回駆動装置1の作動について説明する。旋回体102の旋回駆動時には、旋回駆動装置1は、図示しない蓄電装置から供給される電力によって駆動される電動発電機10の運転が行われることにより作動する。そして、電動発電機10の運転が開始されると、電動発電機10の回転軸10aによって駆動される第1入出力軸12が回転する。第1入出力軸12が回転すると、入出力ギア部12aに噛み合う各クランク軸用歯車19が回転し、各クランク軸用歯車19が固定された各クランク軸20とともに第1及び第2偏心部(20a、20b)が回転する。この回転に伴って、第1及び第2偏心部(20a、20b)から外歯歯車22(22a、22b)に対して荷重が作用し、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)がピン内歯15と噛み合いをずらしながら揺動するように偏心して回転する。そして、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)の揺動回転に伴って、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)に対して回転保持されたクランク軸20が自転しながら回転中心線Pを中心として公転動作を行う。このクランク軸20の公転動作により、クランク軸20を回転自在に保持するキャリア21とともに、第2入出力軸14が回転し、リングギア103に噛み合うピニオン17から大きなトルクが出力されることになる。これにより、旋回体102が旋回駆動されることになる。 Next, the operation of the turning drive device 1 described above will be described. At the time of the turning drive of the turning body 102, the turning drive device 1 operates by operating the motor generator 10 driven by the electric power supplied from the power storage device (not shown). When the operation of the motor generator 10 is started, the first input / output shaft 12 driven by the rotating shaft 10a of the motor generator 10 rotates. When the first input / output shaft 12 rotates, the crankshaft gears 19 that mesh with the input / output gear portion 12a rotate, and the first and second eccentric portions ( 20a, 20b) rotate. Along with this rotation, a load acts on the external gears 22 (22a, 22b) from the first and second eccentric portions (20a, 20b), and the external gears 22 (22a, 22b) are pin internal teeth 15 And rotate eccentrically so as to swing while shifting the mesh. As the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) swings and rotates, the crankshaft 20 rotated and held with respect to the external gear 22 (22a, 22b) revolves around the rotation center line P while rotating. Perform the action. Due to the revolving operation of the crankshaft 20, the second input / output shaft 14 rotates together with the carrier 21 that rotatably holds the crankshaft 20, and a large torque is output from the pinion 17 that meshes with the ring gear 103. Thereby, the turning body 102 is driven to turn.
 一方、旋回体102の旋回制動時には、旋回体102の慣性エネルギによる駆動力がピニオン17を介して第2入出力軸14に入力され、第2入出力軸14の回転とともに各クランク軸20が公転動作を行う。このクランク軸20の公転とともに外歯歯車22(22a、22b)がピン内歯15との噛み合いをずらしながら揺動するように偏心して回転し、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)から各クランク軸20の第1及び第2偏心部(20a、20b)に対して荷重が作用し、各クランク軸20が回転される。そして、各クランク軸20に固定された各クランク軸用歯車19に噛み合う第1入出力軸12から電動発電機10の回転軸10aに駆動力が入力され、制動中の電動発電機10において発電が行われることになる。発電された電力は、図示しない蓄電装置に充電されることになる。 On the other hand, during the turning braking of the revolving structure 102, the driving force due to the inertial energy of the revolving structure 102 is input to the second input / output shaft 14 through the pinion 17, and each crankshaft 20 revolves as the second input / output shaft 14 rotates. Perform the action. As the crankshaft 20 revolves, the external gears 22 (22a, 22b) rotate eccentrically so as to oscillate while shifting the mesh with the pin internal teeth 15, and each crankshaft is rotated from the external gear 22 (22a, 22b). A load is applied to the first and second eccentric portions (20a, 20b) of the 20 and each crankshaft 20 is rotated. A driving force is input from the first input / output shaft 12 meshed with each crankshaft gear 19 fixed to each crankshaft 20 to the rotating shaft 10a of the motor generator 10, and the motor generator 10 during braking generates power. Will be done. The generated power is charged in a power storage device (not shown).
 尚、上記の旋回制動時においては、ピニオン17から第1入出力軸12までの駆動力伝達経路において回転速度が60倍以上110倍以下の範囲で増速され、その増速された高速の回転が電動発電機10に入力される。そして、電動発電機10の回転が停止するまでの間、発電が行われることになる。また、旋回駆動装置1のバックラッシュ量の合計が0.25度以上で0.50度以下の範囲に設定されているため、旋回制動動作が終了するタイミング(即ち、旋回動作の停止時)においては、旋回体102の先端部であるバケット106での揺り戻しの発生が大幅に抑制されることになる。 At the time of the above-described turning braking, the rotational speed is increased in the range of 60 times to 110 times in the driving force transmission path from the pinion 17 to the first input / output shaft 12, and the increased high speed rotation is performed. Is input to the motor generator 10. Then, power generation is performed until the rotation of the motor generator 10 stops. In addition, since the total amount of backlash of the turning drive device 1 is set in a range of 0.25 degrees or more and 0.50 degrees or less, at the timing when the turning braking operation ends (that is, when the turning operation is stopped). This greatly suppresses the occurrence of rocking back at the bucket 106, which is the tip of the swivel body 102.
 以上説明したように、旋回駆動装置1は、キャリア21に回転自在に保持されたクランク軸20の回転とともにケース11の内周の内歯に噛み合う外歯歯車22が偏心して揺動回転する偏心揺動型の駆動機構を備えて構成されている。そして、電動発電機10の回転軸10aに連結される第1入出力軸12は、クランク軸20の一端側に固定されるクランク軸用歯車19と噛み合い、下位体のリングギア103に噛み合うピニオン17が固定される第2入出力軸14は、キャリア21の基部キャリア23に一体形成される。このため、第1入出力軸12とピニオン17との間の駆動力伝達経路において、高い増速比を容易に確保することができるとともに、定格回転数が高速の6000rpm以上10000rpm以下の範囲に設定された電動発電機10に対して高速の回転を入力することができる。そして、ピニオン17から第1入出力軸12に駆動力が伝達される際の増速比が60以上110以下に設定されることで、電動発電機10における回生能力を十分に高い水準まで効率よく高めることができる。 As described above, the turning drive device 1 has the eccentric swing in which the external gear 22 that meshes with the inner teeth of the case 11 eccentrically swings and rotates with the rotation of the crankshaft 20 rotatably held by the carrier 21. A dynamic drive mechanism is provided. The first input / output shaft 12 connected to the rotary shaft 10 a of the motor generator 10 meshes with a crankshaft gear 19 fixed to one end side of the crankshaft 20 and meshes with a lower ring gear 103. The second input / output shaft 14 is fixed integrally with the base carrier 23 of the carrier 21. For this reason, in the driving force transmission path between the first input / output shaft 12 and the pinion 17, a high speed increasing ratio can be easily secured, and the rated rotational speed is set to a high speed range of 6000 rpm to 10,000 rpm. High-speed rotation can be input to the motor generator 10 that has been made. The speed increasing ratio when the driving force is transmitted from the pinion 17 to the first input / output shaft 12 is set to 60 or more and 110 or less, so that the regeneration capacity of the motor generator 10 can be efficiently increased to a sufficiently high level. Can be increased.
 また、旋回駆動装置1によると、歯の噛み合い部分やスプライン結合部としては、入出力ギア部12a及びクランク軸用歯車19の間と、第1スプライン結合部16と、クランク軸20及び外歯歯車22の間と、外歯歯車22及びピン内歯15の間と、第2スプライン結合部18とが存在し、相当に少ない箇所のみに存在する構成となる。そして、上記の箇所によって規定される第1入出力軸12からピニオン17までの間のバックラッシュ量の合計が、0.25度以上0.50度以下の範囲に設定されることで、駆動効率の低下を抑制しつつ、バックラッシュを十分に低減することができる。これにより、旋回動作の停止時における揺り戻しの発生による揺動範囲を小さくすることができ、操縦者が所望の箇所に旋回体102の先端部のバケット106を停止させる操作を容易に行うことができる。 Further, according to the turning drive device 1, the tooth meshing portion and the spline coupling portion include the input / output gear portion 12 a and the crankshaft gear 19, the first spline coupling portion 16, the crankshaft 20 and the external gear. 22, between the external gear 22 and the pin internal teeth 15, and the second spline coupling portion 18 are present, and the configuration exists only in considerably fewer locations. Then, the total backlash amount between the first input / output shaft 12 and the pinion 17 defined by the above location is set in the range of 0.25 degrees to 0.50 degrees, thereby driving efficiency The backlash can be sufficiently reduced while suppressing the decrease in. As a result, the swing range due to the occurrence of swing back when the swing operation is stopped can be reduced, and the operator can easily perform the operation of stopping the bucket 106 at the tip of the swing body 102 at a desired location. it can.
 従って、本実施形態によると、高い増速比を確保して電動発電機10に高速の回転を入力することができるとともに、操縦者が所望の箇所に旋回体102の先端部を容易に停止させる操作を行うことができて操作性の向上を図ることができるハイブリッド建機用旋回駆動装置1を提供することができる。 Therefore, according to the present embodiment, a high speed increase ratio can be ensured and high speed rotation can be input to the motor generator 10, and the operator can easily stop the tip of the revolving body 102 at a desired location. The turning drive device 1 for a hybrid construction machine that can be operated and can improve operability can be provided.
 また、旋回駆動装置1によると、支柱25の側面に凹み部分25aが設けられ、外歯歯車22(22a、22b)における支柱貫通孔46の側面部分46aが支柱25の凹み部分25aに沿って張り出す部分として設けられる。このため、支柱貫通孔46の張り出した部分に対応させてクランク軸20の径方向の寸法を大きく設定することができる。そして、クランク軸20が大径化されることによりクランク軸20の耐久性が向上する。一方、支柱25の側面に設けられる凹み部分25aは、キャリア21の径方向における支柱の中央部分の内側に偏った位置に設けられるため、旋回駆動装置1のねじり剛性に対する影響を小さくすることができる。このように、旋回駆動装置1全体として、ねじり剛性を維持しながら耐久性の向上を図ることができる。 Further, according to the turning drive device 1, the recessed portion 25 a is provided on the side surface of the column 25, and the side surface portion 46 a of the column through hole 46 in the external gear 22 (22 a, 22 b) stretches along the recessed portion 25 a of the column 25. It is provided as a part to be taken out. For this reason, the dimension of the radial direction of the crankshaft 20 can be set large corresponding to the part where the support | pillar through-hole 46 protruded. The durability of the crankshaft 20 is improved by increasing the diameter of the crankshaft 20. On the other hand, since the recessed portion 25a provided on the side surface of the support column 25 is provided at a position biased to the inside of the center portion of the support column in the radial direction of the carrier 21, the influence on the torsional rigidity of the turning drive device 1 can be reduced. . Thus, as a whole, the turning drive device 1 can improve durability while maintaining torsional rigidity.
