Patent number: 10837541Abstract: Provided is a lubricant guiding structure in an automatic transmission in which a baffle plate configured to regulate the movement of a lubricant agitated by a driven sprocket is provided at one side, where an oil pump is located, in the direction of a rotational axis of the driven sprocket. As viewed from the rotational axis direction, a division wall disposed to extend across a chain is provided closer to the chain than a base of the baffle plate. As viewed from the rotational axis direction, the baffle plate is provided with a guide wall extending along a torque transmission-side chain of the chain wound on the driven sprocket. As viewed from the rotational axis-direction, the guide wall includes an inclined portion inclined in the direction coming closer to the chain as the distance to the distal end side decreases.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignees: JATCO LTD, NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Tsutomu Itou, Tou Ou, Shinji Higashide, Yoshiteru Ueno
