動力を伝達する機構として、入力軸の回転をベベルギヤなどを介して出力軸に伝えるものがあり、この動力伝達機構を収納するものとしてギヤケース構造が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
特開昭59−197662号公報(第2図)
As a mechanism for transmitting power, there is a mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the input shaft to the output shaft through a bevel gear or the like, and a gear case structure is known as one that houses this power transmission mechanism (see, for example, Patent Document 1). .
JP 59-197662 A (FIG. 2)

特許文献1を以下の図面に基づいて説明する。
図9は従来の基本構成を説明する図である。
動力伝達機構200は、図示しない入力軸の回転を減速機構などを介して伝動軸201に伝え、伝動軸201の回転をピニオン(小ベベルギヤ)202を介して大ベベルギヤ203に伝え、大ベベルギヤ203の回転を車軸204に伝えるものである。
Patent document 1 is demonstrated based on the following drawings.
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a conventional basic configuration.
The power transmission mechanism 200 transmits the rotation of an input shaft (not shown) to the transmission shaft 201 via a reduction mechanism or the like, and transmits the rotation of the transmission shaft 201 to the large bevel gear 203 via a pinion (small bevel gear) 202. The rotation is transmitted to the axle 204.

この動力伝達機構200を構成する伝動軸201、小ベベルギヤ202および大ベベルギヤ203をギヤケース構造205内に収納する。さらに、このギヤケース構造205内には潤滑油206を蓄える。
ギヤケース構造205内には潤滑油206を蓄えることで、動力伝達機構200の大ベベルギヤ203で潤滑油206の油滴を跳ね上げ、跳ね上げた油滴で小ベベルギヤ202と大ベベルギヤ203との噛合部などを潤滑する。
A transmission shaft 201, a small bevel gear 202, and a large bevel gear 203 constituting the power transmission mechanism 200 are housed in a gear case structure 205. Further, lubricating oil 206 is stored in the gear case structure 205.
By storing the lubricating oil 206 in the gear case structure 205, the large bevel gear 203 of the power transmission mechanism 200 jumps up the oil droplets of the lubricating oil 206, and the meshed portion between the small bevel gear 202 and the large bevel gear 203 by the splashed oil droplets. Lubricate etc.

このギヤケース構造205は密閉されており、このギヤケース構造205内で、小ベベルギヤ202および大ベベルギヤ203が回転すると、ギヤケース構造205内に熱が発生し、ギヤケース構造205内の空気は膨張する。
一方、ギヤケース構造205内が低温になると、ギヤケース構造205内の空気は収縮する。
The gear case structure 205 is sealed. When the small bevel gear 202 and the large bevel gear 203 rotate in the gear case structure 205, heat is generated in the gear case structure 205, and the air in the gear case structure 205 expands.
On the other hand, when the temperature in the gear case structure 205 becomes low, the air in the gear case structure 205 contracts.

このように、ギヤケース構造205内において空気の膨張や、空気の収縮が生じると、ギヤケース構造205内の内圧が変化する。
このため、通常のギヤケース構造205は、上部にブリーザ通路(図示せず)を設けて、ギヤケース構造205内の内圧の変化を防止する。
As described above, when air expands or contracts in the gear case structure 205, the internal pressure in the gear case structure 205 changes.
For this reason, the normal gear case structure 205 is provided with a breather passage (not shown) in the upper part to prevent a change in internal pressure in the gear case structure 205.

しかし、ギヤケース構造205の上部にブリーザ通路を設けると、大ベベルギヤ203で跳ね上げた潤滑油の油滴がブリーザ通路に浸入し、ブリーザ通路からギヤケース205の外部に流出する虞がある。
このため、ブリーザ通路に油滴が浸入しないように、ブリーザ通路の開口側にオイル浸入防止部材(図示せず)を設ける必要がある。
However, if the breather passage is provided in the upper part of the gear case structure 205, the oil droplets of the lubricating oil splashed up by the large bevel gear 203 may enter the breather passage and flow out of the gear case 205 from the breather passage.
For this reason, it is necessary to provide an oil intrusion prevention member (not shown) on the opening side of the breather passage so that oil droplets do not enter the breather passage.

ここで、ブリーザ通路を設ける位置は、ギヤケース構造205の上部側に限定されるので、ブリーザ通路近傍のスペースに制約を受ける。
この制約されたスペースにオイル浸入防止部材を設けるために、オイル浸入防止部材の検討に時間がかかり、そのことが生産性を高める妨げになっていた。
Here, since the position where the breather passage is provided is limited to the upper side of the gear case structure 205, the space near the breather passage is restricted.
In order to provide the oil intrusion prevention member in the constrained space, it takes time to study the oil intrusion prevention member, which hinders the productivity.

本発明は、ブリーザ通路に潤滑油が浸入することを防ぎ、簡素化や、コンパクト化を図ることで、ブリーザ通路の検討時間を短くすることができるギヤケース構造を提供することを課題とする。   An object of the present invention is to provide a gear case structure that can prevent the intrusion of lubricating oil into a breather passage, simplify the design, and reduce the size of the breather passage, thereby shortening the study time of the breather passage.

請求項1に係る発明は、ギヤケースに、ギヤ、前記ギヤを支える水平軸および潤滑油を収納するとともに、ブリーザ通路を前記ギヤケースの天井に、かつ前記ギヤから前記水平軸に沿って一定距離離れた位置に設け、前記潤滑油の温度変化などに伴って発生する前記ギヤケースの内圧の変化を防止するようにしたギヤケース構造において、前記ブリーザ通路は、前記水平軸にほぼ平行姿勢で、かつ前記ギヤに向けて開口させた前記第1通路と、前記第1通路に直交する第2通路とを含み、前記ギヤ側から前記第1通路の開口に向かう油滴を遮断する障壁部材を前記ギヤケースに備え、前記障壁部材は、前記ギヤケースの内周で、前記ブリーザ通路と前記ギヤとの間に形成した環状溝に嵌め込んだC形止め輪であることを特徴とする。 The invention according to claim 1, the gear case, gear, as well as accommodating the horizontal axis and the lubricating oil that supports the gear, the breather passage in the ceiling of the gear case, and spaced a predetermined distance along said horizontal axis from said gear provided in a position, in the gear case structure so as to prevent a change in the internal pressure of the gear case generated due to a temperature change of the lubricating oil, said breather passage is in substantially parallel orientation to the horizontal axis, and the gear said first passage is opened toward, and a second passage perpendicular to the first passage, comprises a barrier member for interrupting the oil droplets toward the opening of the first passage from the gear side to the gear case, the barrier member, wherein the inner periphery of the gear case, a C-shaped retaining ring is fitted in the formed annular groove between said breather passage and the gear.

ブリーザ通路の第1通路を水平軸にほぼ平行姿勢に形成し、第1通路の開口をギヤに臨ませた。よって、水平軸の回転で潤滑油の油滴を上方に跳ね上げた場合に、跳ね上げた油滴がブリーザ通路の開口にかかることを防ぐ。
さらに、ブリーザ通路の開口とギヤ側との間に障壁部材を設け、この障壁部材でギヤ側からブリーザ通路の開口に向かう油滴を遮断するように構成した。
よって、ギヤ側で跳ね上げた潤滑油の油滴がブリーザ通路の開口にかかることを防ぐ。
このように、第1通路を水平軸にほぼ平行姿勢に形成し、第1通路の開口とギヤ側との間に障壁部材を設けるだけの簡素で、かつコンパクトな構成で、ブリーザ通路に潤滑油の油滴がかかることを防ぐことが可能になる。
The first passage of the breather passage was formed in a posture substantially parallel to the horizontal axis, and the opening of the first passage faced the gear. Therefore, when the oil droplet of the lubricating oil is splashed upward by the rotation of the horizontal axis, the splashed oil droplet is prevented from hitting the opening of the breather passage.
Further, a barrier member is provided between the opening of the breather passage and the gear side, and the barrier member is configured to block oil droplets directed from the gear side toward the opening of the breather passage.
Therefore, the oil droplets of the lubricating oil splashed up on the gear side are prevented from being applied to the opening of the breather passage.
As described above, the first passage is formed in a posture substantially parallel to the horizontal axis, and a simple and compact configuration in which the barrier member is provided between the opening of the first passage and the gear side, the lubricating oil is provided in the breather passage. It is possible to prevent oil droplets from being applied.

特に本発明は、障壁部材をC形止め輪とした。Particularly in the present invention, the barrier member is a C-shaped retaining ring.

C形止め輪はJIS B2804に指定される部品、またはその類似品であり、安価に入手することができる。そこで、請求項2において、障壁部材としてC形止め輪を採用して、安価な障壁部材を簡単に入手することができるようにした。   The C-type retaining ring is a part specified in JIS B2804, or a similar product, and can be obtained at low cost. Therefore, in claim 2, a C-shaped retaining ring is adopted as the barrier member so that an inexpensive barrier member can be easily obtained.

請求項2に係る発明は、請求項1において、ギヤケースは、鋳造品であって、前記ブリーザ通路を設けた部位よりも抜き勾配のために内径が大きくなった部位に前記C形止め輪および前記ギヤを配置することを特徴とする。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the gear case is a cast product, and the C-shaped retaining ring and the C-shaped retaining ring are disposed at a portion where the inner diameter is larger due to a draft than the portion where the breather passage is provided. A gear is arranged.

ギヤケースは、一般に鋳造成形が採用されている。この鋳造成形において、ギヤケースの内部空間を中子を用いて成形する。鋳造成形の後、中子を鋳造品から抜き出すために、鋳造品に抜き勾配を設ける。
この抜き勾配で内径が大きくなった部位に第1通路を設け、さらに第1通路の開口を、中子の抜き方向(すなわち、大径側)に向けた。
The gear case is generally cast. In this casting, the inner space of the gear case is molded using a core. In order to extract the core from the cast product after the casting, a draft is provided in the cast product.
A first passage was provided in a portion where the inner diameter was increased by the draft, and the opening of the first passage was directed in the direction of removing the core (that is, the larger diameter side).

よって、第1通路の開口を、鋳型で形成する場合や、機械加工で形成する場合、の何れにおいても都合がよい。
ブリーザ通路の第1通路をギヤに開口させることで、鋳造製のギヤケースを比較的簡単に成形することができる。
Therefore, it is convenient whether the opening of the first passage is formed by a mold or by machining.
By opening the first passage of the breather passage to the gear, a cast gear case can be formed relatively easily.

この鋳造製のギヤケースに対応させるべく、請求項3において、抜き勾配のために内径が大きくなった部位に障壁部材およびギヤを配置した。
これにより、第1通路の開口とギヤとの間に障壁部材を配置することが可能になり、ギヤ側から第1通路の開口に向かう油滴を遮断することができる。
In order to correspond to this cast gear case, in claim 3, the barrier member and the gear are arranged at a portion where the inner diameter is increased due to the draft.
Thereby, it becomes possible to arrange | position a barrier member between the opening of a 1st channel | path, and a gear, and the oil droplet which goes to the opening of a 1st channel | path from a gear side can be interrupted | blocked.

請求項3に係る発明は、請求項2において、前記水平軸の前記ギヤは軸部と歯部を含むベベルギヤであり、前記ベベルギヤの前記軸部を、前記ギヤケースの内周で前記抜き勾配のために内径が大きくなった部位で前記C形止め輪と前記ベベルギヤの歯部との間で軸受を用いて支持させるとともに、前記軸受を内外輪間にシールリップを備えない、リップ無し軸受としたことを特徴とする、 The invention according to claim 3, in claim 2, wherein the gear of the horizontal axis is the bevel gear comprising a shaft portion and a toothed portion, the shaft portion of the bevel gear, for the draft angle at an inner circumference of the gear case The bearing is supported between the C-type retaining ring and the tooth portion of the bevel gear at a portion where the inner diameter is increased, and the bearing is not provided with a seal lip between the inner and outer rings. Characterized by the

軸受としてリップ無し軸受を採用することで、潤滑油が軸受を通過し、ギヤケース内の潤滑性を確保する。
反面、ギヤで跳ね上げた潤滑油の油滴が、軸受を通過して第1通路の開口へ向かうことが考えられる。
しかし、軸受を通過した油滴を障壁部材で遮断することで、第1通路の開口に油滴がかかることを防ぐことができる。
By adopting a lipless bearing as the bearing, the lubricating oil passes through the bearing and ensures lubricity in the gear case.
On the other hand, it is conceivable that the oil droplets of the lubricating oil splashed up by the gear pass through the bearing toward the opening of the first passage.
However, by blocking the oil droplets that have passed through the bearing with the barrier member, it is possible to prevent the oil droplets from being applied to the opening of the first passage.

請求項1に係る発明では、第1通路を水平軸にほぼ平行姿勢に形成し、第1通路の開口とギヤ側との間に障壁部材を設けるだけの構成として、簡素化やコンパクト化を図ることで、ブリーザ通路の検討時間を短くすることができるという利点がある。   In the invention according to claim 1, the first passage is formed in a substantially parallel posture to the horizontal axis, and the barrier member is provided between the opening of the first passage and the gear side, so that simplification and compactness are achieved. Thus, there is an advantage that the examination time of the breather passage can be shortened.

特に本発明では、障壁部材としてC形止め輪を採用することで、安価な障壁部材を簡単に入手して、コストアップを抑えることができるという利点がある。 In particular, in the present invention, by adopting a C-shaped retaining ring as the barrier member, there is an advantage that an inexpensive barrier member can be easily obtained and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

請求項2に係る発明では、ブリーザ通路を設けた部位よりも抜き勾配のために内径が大きくなった部位にC形止め輪及び前記ギヤを配置したので、ブリーザ通路の開口を中子の抜き方向に向けることで、鋳造製のギヤケースを比較的簡単に成形することができるという利点がある。 In the invention according to claim 2, since the C-shaped retaining ring and the gear are arranged in the portion where the inner diameter is larger due to the draft than the portion where the breather passage is provided, the opening of the breather passage is arranged in the direction in which the core is pulled out. There is an advantage that a cast gear case can be formed relatively easily.

請求項3に係る発明では、ギヤケース内の潤滑性を確保するためにリップ無し軸受を使用することで、ギヤで跳ね上げた油滴が軸受を通過して第1通路の開口に向かうが、この油滴を障壁部材で遮断して、油滴が第1通路に浸入することを防ぐことができるという利点がある。 In the invention according to claim 3, by using a lipless bearing to ensure lubricity in the gear case, the oil droplet splashed up by the gear passes through the bearing toward the opening of the first passage. There is an advantage that the oil droplet can be blocked by the barrier member to prevent the oil droplet from entering the first passage.

The rear end of the gear housing portion 65 is opened, and the lid 73 is bolted to the rear end, thereby closing the opening of the gear housing portion 65 with the lid 73.
The shaft housing portion 66 is formed so that the inner diameter d gradually increases from the front end 66a toward the rear end 66b in order to ensure a draft angle for casting.

シャフト収納部66の前端66aに軸受74を介して出力軸54の前端を回転自在に設ける。
また、シャフト収納部66の後端66b、すなわち抜き勾配のために内径dが大きくなった部位に軸受75を介して大径ベベルギヤ53の軸部76を回転自在に設け、この軸部76に出力軸54の後端部をスプライン結合する。
この大ベベルギヤ53を小ベベルギヤ52に噛み合わせる。
この第1ベベルギヤ53をギヤケース51に支持する軸受75は、内外輪75a,75b間にシールリップ(図示せず)を備えない、リップ無し軸受である。
A front end of the output shaft 54 is rotatably provided at a front end 66 a of the shaft housing portion 66 via a bearing 74.
Further, a shaft portion 76 of the large-diameter bevel gear 53 is rotatably provided via a bearing 75 at a rear end 66b of the shaft housing portion 66, that is, a portion where the inner diameter d is increased due to the draft angle, and output to the shaft portion 76. The rear end of the shaft 54 is splined.
The large bevel gear 53 is engaged with the small bevel gear 52.
The bearing 75 that supports the first bevel gear 53 on the gear case 51 is a lipless bearing that does not include a seal lip (not shown) between the inner and outer rings 75a and 75b.

シャフト収納部66の前端66a側にシール材77を嵌合し、このシール材77でシャフト収納部66の前端66aと出力軸54の間の間隔を密閉する。
このように、シャフト収納部66の前端66aと出力軸54の間の間隔をシール材77で密閉し、かつ前述したようにリング部材71と入力軸44との間の間隔をシール材72で密閉し、さらにギヤ収納部65の開口をリッド73で塞ぐことで、ギヤケース51内を密閉空間に保つ。

ギヤケース51内の密閉空間に潤滑油55を蓄えることで、大ベベルギヤ53の下半部および出力軸54の下半部を潤滑油55のなかに漬ける。
よって、入力軸44で小ベベルギヤ52を回転することで、小ベベルギヤ52で大ベベルギヤ53を回転し、大ベベルギヤ53の回転をスプラインを介して出力軸54に伝える。
この際に、大ベベルギヤ53で潤滑油55の油滴を跳ね上げ、跳ね上げた油滴で大ベベルギヤ53および小ベベルギヤ52との噛合部などを潤滑する。
By storing the lubricating oil 55 in the sealed space in the gear case 51, the lower half of the large bevel gear 53 and the lower half of the output shaft 54 are immersed in the lubricating oil 55.
Therefore, when the small bevel gear 52 is rotated by the input shaft 44, the large bevel gear 53 is rotated by the small bevel gear 52, and the rotation of the large bevel gear 53 is transmitted to the output shaft 54 through the spline.
At this time, the large bevel gear 53 splashes the oil droplets of the lubricating oil 55, and the splashed oil droplets lubricate the meshing portion of the large bevel gear 53 and the small bevel gear 52.

In this gear case 51, a breather passage 61 is provided in the ceiling 57 of the shaft housing portion 66. Specifically, the breather passage 61 is provided in the ceiling 57 of the shaft housing portion 66 at a position away from the large bevel gear 53 along the output shaft 54 by a certain distance forward.
The breather passage 61 includes a first passage 81 that is substantially parallel to the output shaft 54 and opened toward the large bevel gear 53, and a second passage 82 that is orthogonal to the first passage 81.

第2通路82にブリーザホース83の一端83aを連結し、他端83bを第3通路84に連結する。第3通路84をギヤケース51に設けるとともに、第3通路84の開口84aをギヤケース51の外部に臨ませる。
これにより、ブリーザ通路61、ブリーザホース83および第3通路84を介してギヤケース51の内部を大気に連通し、潤滑油55の温度変化などに伴って発生するギヤケース51の内圧の変化を防止する。
One end 83 a of the breather hose 83 is connected to the second passage 82, and the other end 83 b is connected to the third passage 84. The third passage 84 is provided in the gear case 51, and the opening 84 a of the third passage 84 is exposed to the outside of the gear case 51.

図3は本発明に係るギヤケース構造の要部を示す断面図である。
ブリーザ通路61は、出力軸54にほぼ平行姿勢で、かつ大ベベルギヤ53(具体的には、軸受75)に開口81aを向けた第1通路81と、この第1通路81に直交する第2通路82とを有する。
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the gear case structure according to the present invention.

このブリーザ通路61と大ベベルギヤ53との間にC形止め輪(障壁部材)62を備える。
すなわち、ギヤケース51を構成するシャフト収納部66の後端66bのうち、抜き勾配のために内径dが大きくなった部位(内周86)で、かつ軸受75近傍に環状溝87を形成し、この環状溝87にC形止め輪62を嵌め込む。
A C-shaped retaining ring (barrier member) 62 is provided between the breather passage 61 and the large bevel gear 53.
That is, an annular groove 87 is formed in a portion of the rear end 66b of the shaft housing portion 66 constituting the gear case 51 where the inner diameter d is increased due to the draft (inner circumference 86) and in the vicinity of the bearing 75. The C-shaped retaining ring 62 is fitted into the annular groove 87.

このC形止め輪62は、ブリーザ通路61を構成する第1通路81の開口81aに臨み、かつ軸受75に臨む部位に位置する。
これにより、大ベベルギヤ53側から軸受75を介して第1通路81の開口81aに向かう油滴をC形止め輪62で遮断する。
The C-shaped retaining ring 62 faces the opening 81 a of the first passage 81 constituting the breather passage 61 and is located at a portion facing the bearing 75.
As a result, oil droplets from the large bevel gear 53 side toward the opening 81 a of the first passage 81 through the bearing 75 are blocked by the C-shaped retaining ring 62.

このギヤケース構造50によれば、第1通路81を出力軸54にほぼ平行姿勢に形成し、第1通路81の開口81aと軸受75側との間にC形止め輪62を設けるだけの構成とすることで、簡素化やコンパクト化を図り、ブリーザ通路61の検討時間を短くすることができる。   According to this gear case structure 50, the first passage 81 is formed in a posture substantially parallel to the output shaft 54, and the C-type retaining ring 62 is simply provided between the opening 81a of the first passage 81 and the bearing 75 side. By doing so, simplification and compactification can be achieved, and the examination time of the breather passage 61 can be shortened.

ここで、前述したようにギヤケース51およびクラッチ収納部48は一体に成形した鋳造品である。ギヤケース51の内部空間を中子(図示せず)を用いて成形する。鋳造成形の後、中子をギヤケース51から抜き出すために、ギヤケース51の内周86に抜き勾配を設ける。
この抜き勾配で内径dが大きくなった部位、すなわち後端66bにブリーザ通路61の第1通路81を設け、さらに第1通路81の開口81aを、中子の抜き方向(すなわち、大径側)に向けた。
Here, as described above, the gear case 51 and the clutch housing portion 48 are integrally molded castings. The internal space of the gear case 51 is molded using a core (not shown). In order to extract the core from the gear case 51 after casting, a draft is provided on the inner periphery 86 of the gear case 51.
The first passage 81 of the breather passage 61 is provided at the portion where the inner diameter d is increased by this draft, that is, the rear end 66b, and the opening 81a of the first passage 81 is further provided in the core removal direction (that is, the larger diameter side). Towards.

よって、第1通路81の開口81aを、鋳型で形成する場合や、機械加工で形成する場合、の何れにおいても都合がよい。
ブリーザ通路61の第1通路81を軸受75に開口させることで、鋳造製のギヤケース51を比較的簡単に成形することができる。
Therefore, it is convenient whether the opening 81a of the first passage 81 is formed by a mold or by machining.
By opening the first passage 81 of the breather passage 61 in the bearing 75, the cast gear case 51 can be formed relatively easily.

この鋳造製のギヤケース51に対応させるべく、抜き勾配のために内径dが大きくなった部位、すなわち後端66bにC形止め輪62および軸受75を配置した。
これにより、第1通路81の開口81aと軸受75との間にC形止め輪62を配置することが可能になり、軸受75側から第1通路81の開口81aに向かう油滴を遮断することができる。
In order to correspond to the cast gear case 51, a C-shaped retaining ring 62 and a bearing 75 are disposed at a portion where the inner diameter d is increased due to the draft, that is, at the rear end 66b.
As a result, the C-shaped retaining ring 62 can be disposed between the opening 81a of the first passage 81 and the bearing 75, and oil droplets directed from the bearing 75 side toward the opening 81a of the first passage 81 are blocked. Can do.

なお、前述したように軸受75として、内外輪75a,75b間にシールリップ(図示せず)を備えない、リップ無し軸受を採用した。
軸受75としてリップ無し軸受を採用することで、潤滑油55が軸受75を通過し、ギヤケース51内の潤滑性を確保する。
As described above, the bearing 75 is a lipless bearing that does not include a seal lip (not shown) between the inner and outer rings 75a and 75b.
By adopting a lipless bearing as the bearing 75, the lubricating oil 55 passes through the bearing 75 and ensures lubricity in the gear case 51.

反面、第1ベベルギヤ53で跳ね上げた潤滑油55の油滴が、軸受75を通過して第1通路81の開口81aへ向かうことが考えられる。
しかし、軸受75を通過した油滴をC形止め輪62で遮断することで、第1通路81の開口81aに油滴がかかることを防ぐことができる。
On the other hand, it is conceivable that the oil droplets of the lubricating oil 55 bounced up by the first bevel gear 53 pass through the bearing 75 toward the opening 81 a of the first passage 81.
However, by blocking the oil droplets that have passed through the bearing 75 with the C-shaped retaining ring 62, it is possible to prevent the oil droplets from being applied to the opening 81 a of the first passage 81.

また、延出片92の後端を自由端にすることで、開口81a(図3参照)を形成する。
The extension piece 92 connects the left end portion 92a located on the left side of the second passage 82 to the inner periphery 86 of the shaft storage portion 66, and extends the right end portion 92b until it is located on the right side of the second passage 82.

次いで、ギヤケース構造50のブリーザ通路61およびC形止め輪62の作用を図7および図8に基づいて説明する。
図7は本発明に係るギヤケース構造のブリーザ通路の作用を説明する図である。
ギヤケース51は密閉状態に保たれている。この状態、ギヤケース51内で、小ベベルギヤ52および大ベベルギヤ53が回転すると、ギヤケース51内に熱が発生してギヤケース51内の空気は膨張する。
一方、ギヤケース51内の温度が低下すると、ギヤケース51内の空気は収縮する。
このように、ギヤケース51内において空気の膨張や、空気の収縮が生じると、ギヤケース51内の内圧が変化する。
Next, the operation of the breather passage 61 and the C-shaped retaining ring 62 of the gear case structure 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the operation of the breather passage of the gear case structure according to the present invention.
The gear case 51 is kept sealed. In this state, when the small bevel gear 52 and the large bevel gear 53 rotate in the gear case 51, heat is generated in the gear case 51 and the air in the gear case 51 expands.
On the other hand, when the temperature in the gear case 51 decreases, the air in the gear case 51 contracts.
As described above, when air expands or contracts in the gear case 51, the internal pressure in the gear case 51 changes.

このため、ギヤケース51のうち、シャフト収納部66の天井57にブリーザ通路61を設けた。このブリーザ通路61をブリーザホース83などを介してギヤケース51の外部に連通する。
これにより、ギヤケース51内の空気が熱で膨張した際には、ギヤケース51内の空気を矢印cの如くブリーザ通路61の開口81aに導く。
開口81aまで導いた空気をブリーザ通路61およびブリーザホース83などを介してギヤケース51の外部に矢印dの如く排出する。
よって、ギヤケース51内の内圧が上昇することを防ぐ。
Therefore, a breather passage 61 is provided in the ceiling 57 of the shaft housing portion 66 in the gear case 51. The breather passage 61 communicates with the outside of the gear case 51 via a breather hose 83 or the like.
Thereby, when the air in the gear case 51 is expanded by heat, the air in the gear case 51 is guided to the opening 81a of the breather passage 61 as shown by an arrow c.
The air guided to the opening 81a is discharged to the outside of the gear case 51 through the breather passage 61 and the breather hose 83 as indicated by an arrow d.
Therefore, the internal pressure in the gear case 51 is prevented from increasing.

一方、ギヤケース51内の温度が低下すると、ギヤケース51内の空気が収縮する。この場合には、大気中の空気をブリーザホース83およびブリーザ通路61などを介してギヤケース51の内部に導く。
よって、ギヤケース51内の内圧が低下することを防ぐ。
これにより、潤滑油55の温度変化などに伴って発生するギヤケース51の内圧の変化を防止することができる。
On the other hand, when the temperature in the gear case 51 decreases, the air in the gear case 51 contracts. In this case, air in the atmosphere is guided into the gear case 51 via the breather hose 83 and the breather passage 61.
Therefore, the internal pressure in the gear case 51 is prevented from decreasing.
Thereby, the change of the internal pressure of the gear case 51 which arises with the temperature change of the lubricating oil 55 etc. can be prevented.

図8(a),(b)は本発明に係るギヤケース構造のC形止め輪の作用を説明する図であり、(a)は図1〜図7で説明した実施の形態からC形止め輪62を除去したものを比較例として示し、(b)は図1〜図7で説明した実施の形態を実施例として示す。

ブリーザ通路61は延出片92で第2通路82を覆っているので、出力軸54の回転で跳ね上げた油滴55a…がブリーザ通路61内に浸入することを防ぐ。
When the output shaft 54 rotates as indicated by the arrow g, the oil drops 55a... Of the lubricating oil 55 may jump up as indicated by the arrow h.
Since the breather passage 61 covers the second passage 82 with the extending piece 92, the oil droplets 55a splashed by the rotation of the output shaft 54 are prevented from entering the breather passage 61.

一方、大ベベルギヤ53が矢印fの如く回転することにより、大ベベルギヤ53で潤滑油55の油滴55a…を跳ね上げ、跳ね上げた油滴55a…で大ベベルギヤ53および小ベベルギヤ52との噛合部などを潤滑する。   On the other hand, when the large bevel gear 53 rotates as indicated by an arrow f, the large bevel gear 53 splashes up the oil droplets 55a of the lubricating oil 55, and the raised oil droplet 55a ... meshes with the large bevel gear 53 and the small bevel gear 52.

しかし、跳ね上げた油滴55a…が軸受75を介して矢印iの如く飛散する。
ここで、ブリーザ通路61の開口81aは軸受75に対向しているので、矢印iの如く飛散した油滴55…が開口81aからブリーザ通路61内に浸入する虞がある。
However, the splashed oil droplets 55a are scattered as shown by the arrow i through the bearing 75.
Here, since the opening 81a of the breather passage 61 faces the bearing 75, there is a possibility that the oil droplets 55 ... scattered as indicated by the arrow i enter the breather passage 61 from the opening 81a.

(b)において、ギヤケース構造50は、入力軸44で小ベベルギヤ52を矢印eの如く回転することにより、小ベベルギヤ52で大ベベルギヤ53を矢印fの如く回転する。大ベベルギヤ53が回転することにより、出力軸54が矢印gの如く回転する。
出力軸54が矢印gの如く回転することにより、潤滑油55の油滴55a…を矢印hの如く跳ね上げることがある。
ブリーザ通路61は延出片92で第2通路82を覆っているので、出力軸54の回転で跳ね上げた油滴55a…がブリーザ通路61内に浸入することを防ぐ。
In (b), the gear case structure 50 rotates the small bevel gear 52 with the input shaft 44 as shown by the arrow e, thereby rotating the large bevel gear 53 with the small bevel gear 52 as shown by the arrow f. As the large bevel gear 53 rotates, the output shaft 54 rotates as shown by an arrow g.
When the output shaft 54 rotates as indicated by the arrow g, the oil drops 55a... Of the lubricating oil 55 may jump up as indicated by the arrow h.
Since the breather passage 61 covers the second passage 82 with the extending piece 92, the oil droplets 55a splashed by the rotation of the output shaft 54 are prevented from entering the breather passage 61.

一方、大ベベルギヤ53が矢印fの如く回転することにより、大ベベルギヤ53で潤滑油55の油滴55a…を跳ね上げ、跳ね上げた油滴55a…で大ベベルギヤ53および小ベベルギヤ52との噛合部などを潤滑する。   On the other hand, when the large bevel gear 53 rotates as indicated by an arrow f, the large bevel gear 53 splashes up the oil droplets 55a of the lubricating oil 55, and the raised oil droplet 55a ... meshes with the large bevel gear 53 and the small bevel gear 52.
