Abstract
A first chamber for introducing thereinto the air inside a transmission case from an introduction opening, a second chamber for leading out air from a lead-out hole to a vent valve, and a shielding part for shielding the first and second chambers excluding a ventilation opening so that the first chamber is larger than the second chamber in volume are formed adjacent to a plate member in a first case. The introduction opening is formed by separating side surfaces of the first and second chambers using the plate member.
Claims5
A ventilation structure for a transmission comprising:
- a transmission case accommodating the transmission;
- a vent valve provided with a vent pipe penetrating an inside and outside of the transmission case and releasing air to an outside of the transmission case when internal pressure reaches a predetermined value or more;
- an oil warmer;
- and
- a warmed oil supply pipe disposed inside the transmission case, wherein the warmed oil supply pipe supplies oil warmed by the oil warmer into the transmission case,
- wherein the transmission case comprises:
- a first case to which the vent valve is disposed;
- a second case joined with the first case;
- a plate member interposed between mating surfaces of the first case and the second case;
- a first chamber and a second chamber formed inside the first case;
- and
- a shielding part shielding the first chamber and the second chamber in the first case,
- wherein the first chamber is formed adjacent to the plate member in the first case to introduce thereinto air inside the transmission case from an introduction opening,
- wherein the second chamber leads out air from a lead-out hole to a vent valve,
- wherein the shielding part shields the first chamber and the second chamber excluding a ventilation opening so that the first chamber has a larger volume than the second chamber, and
- wherein the introduction opening of the first chamber is formed by opening a lower end of the first chamber and separating a side surface of the first chamber using the plate member.
