Abstract
A drive transmission device according to one embodiment of the disclosure includes a single differential unit to which rotation of a motor is transmitted and two speed reducers each having an operation output shaft that is coupled to the differential unit and a carrier that changes a speed of the rotation of the operation output shaft and outputs the rotation. The two speed reducers are arranged such that they are opposed to each other along a second rotation axis, and the operation output shaft and the carrier in each speed reducer are aligned in the second rotation axis direction.
Claims4
A drive transmission device, comprising:
- a single transmission portion to which rotation of a drive source generating a rotational force is transmitted;
- and
- two speed changers each having an input shaft and an output shaft, the input shaft being coupled to the transmission portion, the output shaft changing a speed of rotation of the input shaft and outputting a speed-changed rotation,
- wherein the input shaft and the output shaft are aligned in a same rotation axis direction and the two speed changers are opposed each other in the rotation axis direction,
- wherein the transmission portion is disposed between the two speed changers,
- wherein the transmission portion includes a differential unit that includes a ring gear to which the rotation of the drive source is transmitted,
- wherein the input shaft is coupled to a drive shaft of the differential unit,
- wherein the drive transmission device further comprises an overload protection device that is disposed in a differential case of the differential unit and that connects the input shafts of the two speed changers, and
- wherein the overload protection device allows rotations of the input shafts relatively to each other when a difference in torque between the input shafts exceeds a predetermined value.
A construction machine, comprising:
- a first member having a drive source that generates a rotational force;
- and
- a second member coupled to the first member via a drive transmission device such that the second member is rotatable about a rotation axis,
- wherein the drive transmission device includes:
- a transmission portion to which a rotational force of the drive source is transmitted;
- and
- two speed changers changing a speed of rotation of the transmission portion and outputting the rotation to the second member,
- wherein the two speed changers each include an input shaft coupled to the transmission portion and an output shaft coupled to the second member,
- wherein the input shaft and the output shaft are aligned along the rotation axis, and the two speed changers are opposed to each other in the rotation axis direction.
