Abstract
A damper device is capable of attenuating fluctuations in torque. The damper device includes a first rotor and a second rotor rotatable relatively to the first rotor. The damper device also includes a plurality of elastic members elastically coupling the first rotor and the second rotor. The second rotor is rotatable relatively to the first rotor while held by the first rotor with use of the plurality of elastic members.
Claims6
A damper device configured to attenuate fluctuations in torque, the damper device comprising:
- a first rotor including a first accommodation part and a second accommodation part;
- a second rotor configured to be rotatable relative to the first rotor, the second rotor including a third accommodation part and a fourth accommodation part;
- and
- a plurality of elastic members configured to elastically couple the first rotor and the second rotor, the plurality of elastic members including a first elastic member and a second elastic member, wherein
- the second rotor is rotatable relative to the first rotor while held by the first rotor with use of the plurality of elastic members, the first accommodation part and the third accommodation part accommodate the first elastic member,
- the second accommodation part and the fourth accommodation part accommodate the second elastic member,
- the first accommodation part and the third accommodation part partially overlap each other when viewed along an axial direction, with the first accommodation part being offset relative to the third accommodation part in a first rotational direction, and
- the second accommodation part and the fourth accommodation part partially overlap each other when viewed along the axial direction, with the second accommodation part being offset relative to the fourth accommodation part in a second rotational direction reverse to the first rotational direction,
- wherein when one of the first elastic member and the second elastic member is compressed between the first rotor and the second rotor, the other of the first elastic member and the second elastic member expands between the first rotor and the second rotor.
