Abstract

A joining structure of a power source and a transmission includes a joining portion joining a power source and a transmission to each other, the joining portion includes a first fitting portion centering a first housing and a second housing with each other, a second fitting portion where a rotary portion of the transmission is fitted to an output shaft portion of the power source, a housing spacer fixed to the first housing, and a third fitting portion including a protruding portion and a recessed portion, the recessed portion fitted to the protruding portion and centering the second housing and the housing spacer with each other, wherein in a case where the transmission is at a position where the protruding portion and the recessed portion start fitting to each other, the rotary portion is away from a position at which the rotary portion starts fitting to the output shaft portion.

First claim

1 . A joining structure of a power source and a transmission, comprising:
a joining portion joining a power source and a transmission to each other coaxially with a rotational axis line in a state where a rotary force corresponding to output from the power source is transmittable to the transmission, the joining portion including;
a first fitting portion centering a first housing of the power source and a second housing of the transmission with each other on the rotational axis line;
a second fitting portion at which a rotary portion of the transmission is fitted to an output shaft portion of the power source in an axial direction, the second fitting portion centering the rotary portion and the output shaft portion with each other on the rotational axis line;
a housing spacer fixed to the first housing to be coaxial with the rotational axis line in such a manner that a first flange is fitted into a first hole provided at the first housing; and
a third fitting portion including a protruding portion provided at one of the second housing and the housing spacer and a recessed portion provided at the other of the second housing and the housing spacer, the recessed portion being fitted to the protruding portion in a direction of the rotational axis line and centering the second housing and the housing spacer with each other on the rotational axis line, wherein
in a case where the transmission is positioned at a position at which the protruding portion of the third fitting portion and the recessed portion of the third fitting portion start fitting to each other, the rotary portion of the transmission is away from a position at which the rotary portion starts fitting to the output shaft portion of the power source by a predetermined distance.

2 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding portion of the third fitting portion corresponds to a dowel pin and the recessed portion of the third fitting portion corresponds to a pin hole fitted to the dowel pin.

3 . The joining structure according to claim 1 , wherein the joining structure allows the transmission to be joined to a plurality of types of power sources and the housing spacer corresponds to a first adapter provided for each of the types of the power sources, the joining structure further comprising:
a second adapter fixed to an output shaft of the power source and provided with the output shaft portion, the second adapter being provided for each of the types of the power sources.

4 . The joining structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the second adapter includes a first fixing portion fixing a drive plate fastened to the rotary portion of the transmission and a second fixing portion fixed to the output shaft of the output shaft portion, and the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are provided at positions which are different from each other in a radial direction of the transmission.

5 . The joining structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the second adapter includes a first fixing portion fixing a drive plate fastened to the rotary portion of the transmission and a second fixing portion fixing a flywheel, the flywheel and the output shaft of the output shaft portion are fixed to each other at a third fixing portion, and the first fixing portion, the second fixing portion and the third fixing portion are provided at positions which are different from one another in a radial direction of the transmission.

6 . The joining structure according to claim 4 , wherein the rotary portion of the transmission includes a front cover expanding in the axial direction during rotation and the first fixing portion is provided to face a concave portion formed at the front cover.

7 . The joining structure according to claim 3 , wherein
the protruding portion of the third fitting portion corresponds to a partial spigot joint flange and the recessed portion of the third fitting portion corresponds to a spigot joint hole fitted to the partial spigot joint flange, and the partial spigot joint flange is provided at two positions of the first adapter which are symmetrical to each other in a circumferential direction.
