PLANETARY GEAR DEVICE

摘要

A planetary gear device includes: a sun gear; a plurality of planet gears that mesh with the sun gear; and a baffle unit disposed in a circumferential gap between the adjacent planet gears. The baffle unit includes: a first introduction opening portion open in a radially inward direction to introduce lubricating oil, which has lubricated the sun gear and the planet gears, into the baffle unit; an end wall forming one end in an axial direction of the first introduction opening portion; a discharge opening portion to discharge lubricating oil in the baffle unit; and a guide portion disposed at a side portion of the baffle unit on a rear side in rotation direction of the sun gear, and configured to cover the first introduction opening portion in the circumferential direction and to guide the lubricating oil to an outer circumference of the adjacent planet gears.

1. A planetary gear device comprising:
a sun gear having external teeth; a plurality of planet gears that have external teeth and mesh with the sun gear; a ring gear that has internal teeth and meshes with the planet gears; and a baffle unit disposed in a circumferential gap defined between the planet gears adjacent to each other, the baffle unit including: a first introduction opening portion that is open in a radially inward direction, and configured to introduce lubricating oil, which has lubricated tooth surfaces of the sun gear and the planet gears, into the baffle unit; a radially outer end wall that is disposed in the vicinity of a radially inner side of the ring gear; an end wall disposed at one end portion of the radially outer end wall and forming one end, in an axial direction, of the first introduction opening portion; a discharge opening portion to discharge the lubricating oil in the baffle unit; and a guide portion disposed at least at a side portion of the baffle unit on a rear side in a rotation direction of the sun gear, and configured to cover the first introduction opening portion in the circumferential direction, and to guide the lubricating oil into the first introduction opening portion.
