Abstract
A transmission mechanism includes a housing, a first rotating member accommodated in the housing and rotatable about a first rotating member axis, and a lubricating member accommodated in the housing and containing a lubricant. While the first rotating member rotates about the lubricating member, the lubricating member applies a preload to and comes into contact with a part of the first rotating member on the basis of an elastic force, so that the part of the first rotating member is lubricated with the lubricant.
Claims13
A transmission mechanism comprising a housing, and a first rotating member that is accommodated in the housing and is rotatable about a first rotating member axis, the transmission mechanism further comprising a lubricating member that is accommodated in the housing and contains lubricant, wherein
- the lubricating member comes into contact with a part of the first rotating member while applying a preload based on an elastic force during rotation of the first rotating member with respect to the lubricating member, thereby lubricating the part of the first rotating member with the lubricant, and
- the lubricating member adsorbs dust from the first rotating member by contact with the first rotating member and adsorbs dust of which a particle size decreases according to a distance from a contact portion thereof with the first rotating member.
