Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle differential gear device for distributing power to a pair of left and right drive wheels of a vehicle, and more particularly to a technique for preventing an axle fitted in a side gear so as not to rotate relative to a side gear.
- an annular leaf spring member is provided between a rear surface of the side gear and a receiving surface that receives the rear surface of the side gear of the differential case.
- a receiving surface that receives the rear surface of the side gear of the differential case.
- the differential limiting force can be obtained with a simple configuration, and when the transmission torque is relatively low, backlash at the meshing portion between the side gear and the pinion is reduced, and the generation of rattling noise is suppressed. Since the deformation of the annular leaf spring member allows the side gear to escape in the direction of the rotation axis, there is an advantage that the side gear is prevented from being damaged when an impact is input.
- the backlash between the side gear and the pinion is made zero by the annular leaf spring member inserted in a pressurized state.
- the reciprocation of the side gear in the direction of the rotational axis corresponding to the backlash fluctuation amount is performed.
- the axle that is spline-fitted to the fitting hole formed through the center of the side gear so as not to rotate relative to the rotation axis and to be relatively movable in the direction of the rotational axis increases the slip resistance as the transmission torque increases, Above a certain torque, it reciprocates with the side gear.

- a driving force provided with a pinion rotatably supported around an axis, and a pair of side gears arranged in the differential case so as to be relatively rotatable around the first axis with the pinion interposed therebetween, and meshing with the pinion.
- a differential gear device for a vehicle that distributes power input from a power source to the differential case to drive wheels via a pair of axles coupled to the pair of side gears, comprising: (2) a rear surface of the side gear and the differential case An annular leaf spring member is inserted in a pre-loaded state between the receiving surface of the side gear and the rear surface of the side gear.

- the annular leaf spring member inserted in a preload state between the back surface of the side gear and the receiving surface of the differential case that receives the back surface of the side gear is at least one pair with respect to the center of the annular leaf spring member. Since the symmetrical parts of the side gears have different spring characteristics, the inertial force in the reciprocating motion of the side gear rotating while being urged by the annular leaf spring member is suppressed, or the snap ring and Since the impact with the side gear is alleviated, the possibility that the axle will come out of the side gear and the possibility that the snap ring will come off are suitably prevented.
- the annular leaf spring member is formed by a conical shape between an inner circumference circle and an outer circumference circle having the same center position, and a notch is formed in a part of the outer circumference circle. It is.
- the disc spring is symmetrical with respect to the center position by forming a notch in a part of the outer circumference of the disc spring, and one pair of symmetrical parts including the notch is different from each other.
- the annular leaf spring member is a disc spring in which a conical shape is formed between an inner circumference circle and an outer circumference circle whose center positions are eccentric.
- the disc springs are eccentric in the center positions of the inner and outer circumferential circles, and the radial positions of the central positions, for example, the parts that are symmetric with respect to the center of the inner circumferential circle are different from each other.

For this reason, the inertial force in the reciprocating motion of the side gear rotating while being urged by the disc spring is suppressed, or the impact between the snap ring and the side gear is mitigated. The possibility of coming off and the possibility of the snap ring coming off are suitably prevented.
