Abstract

A planetary gear device includes: a housing cover disposed at one end portion of a housing in an axis direction, the housing being configured to house a sun gear and a planetary gear inside the housing; and a carrier cover disposed next to the housing cover in the axial direction in the inside, and configured to support a shaft of the planetary gear from one end portion side in the axial direction. Of a pair of opposing parts opposite to each other in the housing cover and the carrier cover, one opposing part includes an opening that opens in the axis direction, and the other opposing part includes a slide cylindrical part protruding toward inside of the opening in a coaxial manner with an axis of the opening, the slide cylindrical part including an outer peripheral surface that slides on an inner peripheral surface of the opening.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A planetary gear device, comprising:
a housing cover disposed at one end portion of a housing in an axis direction, the housing being configured to house a sun gear and a planetary gear inside the housing; and
a carrier cover disposed next to the housing cover in the axial direction in the inside, and configured to support a shaft of the planetary gear from one end portion side in the axial direction, wherein
of a pair of opposing parts opposite to each other in the housing cover and the carrier cover, one opposing part includes an opening that opens in the axis direction, and the other opposing part includes a slide cylindrical part protruding toward inside of the opening in a coaxial manner with an axis of the opening, the slide cylindrical part including an outer peripheral surface that slides on an inner peripheral surface of the opening,
wherein the opposing part is an opposing part of the carrier cover;
wherein the other opposing part is an opposing part of the housing cover; and
wherein the carrier cover is slidably supported in the coaxial manner through the opening that slides on the outer peripheral surface of the slide cylindrical part of the housing cover.

2. The planetary gear device according to claim 1 , further comprising an opposing surface part disposed to surround the slide cylindrical part on outside in a radial direction of the slide cylindrical part on one end portion side in an axis direction of the slide cylindrical part, the slide cylindrical part facing in a slidable manner an opening edge part of the carrier cover.

3. The planetary gear device according to claim 2 , wherein the carrier cover includes a one end side sliding part protruded from a periphery of the opening to the one end portion side and configured to slide on the opposing surface part.
