Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は内燃機関、特にそのトランスミッションケース内の潤滑装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来の内燃機関のトランスミッションケース内の潤滑装置として、例えば実公平５−３３６８６号公報、実公平８−３７４４号公報、特開平１０−２９９８７６号公報、特開平１１−１９０４１８号公報等で開示されたものがある。これらは、ミッション軸内からの強制・飛沫給油か、トランスミッションケース側に設けたオイル溜りからミッションギヤ歯面への給油か、もしくは給油通路からミッションギヤ歯面へのジェットによる給油等であった。
【０００３】
【解決しようとする課題】
前記従来のトランスミッションケース内の潤滑装置は、いずれもミッション系全体の潤滑が不十分だったり、または複雑なオイル通路を加工する必要がある等の問題があった。
【０００４】
前記従来の課題を解決するために、請求項１記載の発明は、ミッション軸と交差する分割面で分割されたトランスミッションケースの上部に、上記分割面を横切って上記ミッション軸の軸方向に延び、上記分割された各トランスミッションケースの側壁まで連なる舌状の庇（ひさし）と、上記庇の基部に開口した潤滑油供給口とを備えたことを特徴とする内燃機関の潤滑装置である。
【０００５】
したがって請求項１記載の発明では、トランスミッションケースの分割面を横切ってミッション軸の軸方向に延びる舌状の庇を設けたので、庇の基部に開口した潤滑油供給口から庇上に供給された潤滑油が、ミッション軸の軸方向に拡がりながら庇の表面上を流下してミッション軸上に落ち、その全長にわたって充分に潤滑する。またこの庇は分割された各トランスミッションケースの側壁まで連なるので、各ミッションケースの補強部材としても機能する。
【０００６】
また請求項２記載の発明は、前記請求項１記載の発明において、上記潤滑油供給口が上記分割面に設けられるとともに、上記潤滑油供給口に至る潤滑油供給通路が、上記分割された各トランスミッションケースの中、いずれか一方のみの上記分割面に設けられる溝によって形成されたことを特徴とするものである。
【０００７】
したがって請求項２記載の発明では、トランスミッションケースの壁内やシャフト内に複雑なオイル通路を加工する必要がなく、またパイプのように組み付けの面倒さもないので、製作費を低減することができる。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１は本発明の一実施形態を示す断面図である。この図に示されるように、本実施形態の内燃機関は、単気筒のシリンダブロック１とシリンダヘッド２とクランクケースを兼ねるトランスミッションケース３とを備えている。上記トランスミッションケース３内には、クランク軸４から図示しないプライマリーギヤを介して回転力を受ける主軸５と、複数組（図示側では４組）のドライブギヤＭ１、Ｍ２、Ｍ３、Ｍ４およびドリブンギヤＣ１、Ｃ２、Ｃ３、Ｃ４を介して上記主軸５の回転力を受ける出力軸６が備えられている。７はキック軸、８はシフトドラム８である。
【０００９】
なお図１中１０はコンロッド、１１はシリンダライナ、１２はピストン、１３は給・排気弁をそれぞれ示す。
【００１０】
本実施形態では、トランスミッションケース３の上部に主軸５、出力軸６等のミッション軸の軸方向にわたって、舌状の庇（ひさし）２１が設けられている。そしてその庇２１の基部には潤滑油供給通路２３の下流端である潤滑油供給口２２が開口している。その潤滑油供給通路２３の上流端には潤滑油送給口２４が設けられていて、図示しないオイルポンプの吐出口に連通している。
【００１１】
本実施形態のトランスミッションケース３は、上記ミッション軸と交差する面（図示例では直交する面）で左右に二分割されている。図２はそのように分割されたトランスミッションケース３の一方（左半部３Ａ）を内側から見た図、図３は同じく他方（右半部３Ｂ）を内側から見た図である。また図４は上記トランスミッションケース３を組立て、図２および図３のＩＶ−ＩＶ鎖線で切断し矢印方向に見た断面図、図５は同じくＶ−Ｖ鎖線で切断し矢印方向に見た断面図である。そして図２および図３中、二重鎖線の施された部分は、左右の分割面（合わせ面）（図４および図５中の３Ｃ）を示す。
【００１２】
これらの図で示されるように、上記潤滑油供給口22はトランスミッションケース３の分割面（合わせ面）３Ｃに開口している。そして庇21は分割面３Ｃをはさんで左半部21Ａ、右半部21Ｂに分割されて、ミッション軸の軸方向（図５では上下方向）に延び、分割された各トランスミッションケース３Ａ、３Ｂの側壁１５Ａ、１５Ｂまで連なっている。また分割されたトランスミッションケース３の一方（図示側では左半部３Ａ）に潤滑油供給溝23Ａが穿設されており、これを溝の設けられていない他方(図示側では右半部３Ｂ)と合わせて組立てることにより、図１に示された潤滑油供給通路23が形成される。
【００１３】
図示しないオイルポンプから送給されて来た潤滑油は、潤滑油送給口２４、潤滑油供給通路２３を経て潤滑油供給口２２から庇２１の上面に供給される。そして庇２１の表面上を主軸５、出力軸６の軸方向に拡がりつつ流下し、下縁からドライブギヤやドリブンギヤ等の上に滴下されて、それらを潤滑する。
【００１４】
本実施形態では、トランスミッションケース３の上部にミッション軸の軸方向にわたり、舌状の庇２１が設けられ、その庇２１の基部に潤滑油供給口２２が開口しているので、庇２１上に供給された潤滑油はミッション軸方向に拡がり、ミッション軸はその全長にわたって潤滑される。
【００１５】
本実施形態ではまた、トランスミッションケース３がミッション軸と交差する面で分割され、その分割面（合わせ面）３Ｃに潤滑油供給口22、潤滑油供給通路23、潤滑油送給口24が設けられるので、分割された一方のトランスミッションケース３に潤滑油供給溝23Ａ等を穿設するだけで、潤滑油供給通路23を形成することができ、トランスミッションケース３の壁内やシャフト内に複雑なオイル通路を加工する必要がなく、またパイプ等を組み付ける面倒さもない。また、こうして簡単な構成でミッション系全体が充分に潤滑されるので、ミッションギヤやシフトフォーク等に焼付防止のための特別な表面処理を施す必要もない。したがって製作費を低減することができる。
