  • Patent number: 10190666
    Abstract: A differential device is provided in which a first wave number (Z1) of a first hypo groove part on an input plate, a second wave number (Z2) of a first epi groove part on a first differential plate and opposing the first hypo groove part, a third wave number (Z3) of a second hypo groove part on the first differential plate and on the opposite side from the first epi groove part, and a fourth wave number (Z4) of a second epi groove part on a second differential plate and opposing the second hypo groove part are set as Z1=8, Z2=Z3=6 and Z4=4, or as Z1=Z4=6, Z2=4, Z3=8. Such differential device enables equal torque distribution and equal differential rotation via a cycloid reduction mechanism without using a bevel gear or a center plate.

  • Publication number: 20180306296
    Abstract: A power transmitting device includes a first transmission member, an eccentric rotating member, a second transmission member disposed adjacent to the first transmission member, and a transmission mechanism that is provided between the first and second transmission members is formed from a hypotrochoidal first transmission groove and an epitrochoidal second transmission groove formed in one and the other of opposing faces of the first and second transmission members, and a sphere that carries out transmission of torque between the first and second transmission grooves while rolling in the two transmission grooves, wherein the first and second transmission grooves are formed so that each of the transmission grooves and the sphere make contact via two contact points, and a locus of the contact point of each transmission groove having a minimum radius of curvature set to be larger than ½ of a distance between the two contact points of each sphere.

  • Publication number: 20180291993
    Abstract: A transmission device includes first and second rotation transmission members capable of relative rotation around a first rotary axis. A first eccentric unit is rotatably supported on an eccentric shaft portion on a second rotary axis eccentric to a main shaft portion of an eccentric shaft. A counterweight incapable of relative rotation with respect to the eccentric shaft is arranged between the first eccentric unit and a second rotation transmission member connected to the first eccentric unit. The orbit of the counterweight overlaps a portion of the orbits of multiple intermediate members, the orbits of which are defined by groove parts formed on the opposing surfaces of the first rotation transmission member and the first eccentric unit, and the opposing surfaces of the second rotation transmission member and the second eccentric unit, or, the orbit of the counterweight is outside of the orbits of the intermediate members.

  • Publication number: 20170254401
    Abstract: In a differential device including: a first transmission member having a first axis an eccentric rotating member in which are joined a hollow first output boss and an eccentric shaft portion; a second transmission member rotatably supported on the shaft portion; a third transmission member having a hollow second output boss rotatable around the first axis and facing the second transmission member; a first speed change mechanism between the first and second transmission members; and a second speed change mechanism between the second and third transmission members, one of mating faces of a first hub of a differential case and a first drive shaft fitted and supported in the hub is provided with a helical groove that can draw in lubricating oil within a transmission case. An oil passage communicating the groove with the first speed change mechanism is provided between the differential case and the rotating member.
