DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for fixing a drive member to a drive shaft, and loosely fitting a transmission disk to a boss on the drive member side so as to be shiftable along the axial direction. A ball cam mechanism for automatic pressure adjustment and a coil spring for pre-pressure are interposed between the driving member and the transmission disc, and a driven disc having an elastic material on the outer periphery is pressed against the transmission surface of the transmission disc while adjusting the diameter of the transmission disc. The present invention relates to a disc-type continuously variable transmission configured to be movable in a direction.

The ball cam mechanism for automatic pressure adjustment used in such a disc-type continuously variable transmission has a drive member (5) as shown in FIG.
), and a plurality of engaging recesses (8) formed concentrically on the surface of the transmission disk (6) on the drive member side. facing each other, and both engaging recesses (7),
Generally, a ball (9) is interposed in the space formed by (8). This ball cam mechanism (A)
Now, the drive shaft (4) and the torque are transferred from the engagement recess (7) of the drive member (5) to the ball (9) and then to the transmission disc (6).
The power is transmitted to the four engaging parts (8). Therefore, when a large load is applied to the transmission disk (6) via the driven disk (2), the driving member (5) and the transmission disk (6) try to rotate relative to each other, causing the ball (9) that is responsible for torque transmission to be rotated. It tries to push out from the engagement recesses (7) and (8). Then, the ball (9) converts this pushing force into a force that tries to separate the driving member (5) and the transmission disc (2), causing the transmission disc (6) to strongly push against the driven disc (2).

In addition, the coil spring (10) provided together with the ball cam mechanism (A) is designed to prevent the transmission disc (6) and the driven disc from operating when only a small load is applied to the driven disc (2), such that the ball cam mechanism (A) does not operate. This is to apply a minimum pressure contact force to the transmission disk (6) in order to prevent slippage due to insufficient pressure contact with the transmission disk (6).

In other words, when a high load is applied to the driven disk, the separation between the driving member and the transmission disk is promoted, and when the ball is pushed out of the engagement recess to near its limit, the reaction force from the driven disk side also increases, causing the separation between the ball and the engagement recess. The contact force with the inclined surface also increases significantly. In addition, the slight deformation of the ball increases the frictional force between the ball and the engagement recess, and the ball and transmission disk are fixed in that position, preventing them from returning to their original positions even under a small load. be. This tendency is particularly strong when the slope is gentle.

A characteristic feature of the present invention is that one end of the coil spring is locked to a driving member, and the other end is locked to a transmission disk, and the functions and effects thereof are as follows.

In other words, in the initial state of the ball cam mechanism where the engagement recess of the drive member and the engagement recess of the driven disk completely face each other, one end of the pre-pressure coil spring is engaged with the drive member and the other end is engaged with the transmission disc. (possibly)
When the drive member and the transmission disk rotate relative to each other under heavy load, the elastic restoring force of the coil spring increases in accordance with the amount of rotation. When a large load becomes a small load, for example when changing speed from high speed to low speed, the elastic restoring force of the coil spring is the force that causes the drive member and the transmission disk to rotate relative to each other in opposite directions, returning the ball cam mechanism to its initial state. It is released as part of the force, or as a force that triggers the fixed ball and transmission disk to start moving.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ball cam mechanism (A) includes a plurality of engagement recesses (7) concentrically formed on the opposing surface of the drive disk (5) on the transmission disk (6) side, and a transmission disk (6). A ball (9) for torque transmission is interposed between a plurality of engaging recesses (8) formed concentrically on the opposing surface of the drive disk (5) of the drive disk (6). (5) is driven, the driven disk (2
), the transmission disk (6) slides and its transmission surface (3a) is pressed against the elastic body (1) of the driven disk (2).
). That is, when a load is applied to the driven disk (2), the driving disk (5) and the transmission disk (6)
) tend to rotate relative to each other, and the retaining recesses (7) and (8) formed on the respective opposing surfaces become displaced in the circumferential direction (the third
(see figure). At that time, the ball (9) is transferred and tries to be pushed out from the engagement recesses (7)-, (8), and the force causes the transmission disc (6) to slide in the axial direction toward the driven disc (2). It acts as a force. Therefore, the pressure applied to the elastic body (1) increases in proportion to the increase in load.

A coil spring (10) as shown in FIG. 4 is interposed between the drive disk (5) and the transmission disk (6) so as to wrap around the boss (6a) of the transmission disk (6). Pre-pressure is applied to the transmission disc (6). As a result, the transmission surface (3a) of the transmission disk (6) is brought into pressure contact with the elastic body (1) at the start of driving when the ball cam mechanism (8) does not operate, and when the load is small, thereby obtaining the frictional force necessary for transmission.

One end of the coil spring (10) is inserted and fixed into a hole (5b) drilled in the drive disk (5), and the other end is inserted and fixed into a hole (6b) drilled in the transmission disk (6). There is. Therefore, a load is applied to the driven disk (2), the driving disk (5) and the transmission disk (6) rotate relative to each other, the coil spring (10) is returned by 1, and elastic energy is accumulated.

This accumulated elastic energy becomes a force that causes the driving disk (5) and the driven disk (2) to rotate relative to each other in opposite directions, thereby restoring the ball cam mechanism (A) to its initial state. Further, as shown in Fig. 3, when a large load is applied, the pressure contact force between the ball (9) and the inclined surfaces of the engaging recesses (7) and (8) increases significantly, and the ball (9)
) when the frictional force between the ball (9) and the engaging recesses (7) and (8) increases due to the slight deformation of the ball (9), the drive disk (5), and the transmission disk (6).
Conventionally, it has often been the case that the transmission disc (6) is fixed and does not return even under a small load, but in the disc type continuously variable transmission, the elastic restoring force of the coil spring (10) acts, so the transmission disc (6) There are extremely few return failures, and the ball cam mechanism (A) can be operated satisfactorily.
