円弧部741では、ピニオンメートギア52の外周が、球面状ワッシャ53を介して支持される(図13および図14参照)。
円弧部741では、前記した半径線Lに沿う向きで油溝742が設けられている。油溝742は、ピニオンメートシャフト51の支持溝75から、連結部74の内周に位置する基部71までの範囲に設けられている。
基部71の表面71bには、サイドギア54Bの裏面を支持するリング状のワッシャ55が載置される。サイドギア54Bの裏面には、円筒状の筒壁部540が設けられている。ワッシャ55は筒壁部540に外挿されている。
回転軸X方向から見て、ガイド部78は筒状を成している。ガイド部78は、基部71に設けた支持孔71aを囲んでいる。ガイド部78の外周部は、基部71の外周71cに沿って切除されている。
この状態において、ピニオン軸44に外挿された段付きピニオンギア43の小径歯車部432が、ワッシャWcを間に挟んで、軸線X1方向からガイド部78に当接している。
開口部145aの内周には、リップシールRSが固定されている。リップシールRSの図示しないリップ部が、ドライブシャフト9Bに外挿されたサイドギア54Bの筒壁部540の外周に弾発的に接触している。これにより、サイドギア54Bの筒壁部540の外周と開口部145aの内周との隙間が封止されている。

図23は、キャッチ部153を上方から見た図である。
図24は、図23のA-A断面図であり、傾斜部156の傾斜を説明する図である。
図25は、図23のB-B断面図であり、傾斜部157の傾斜を説明する図である。図24および図25において、傾斜部156と傾斜部157の傾斜は誇張して示し、傾斜部以外の部分は適宜省略している。
尚、図17および図19では、第4ボックス14の接合部142と、支持壁部146の位置を明確にするために、ハッチングを付して示している。
第4ボックス14内の、回転軸Xを通る水平線HLよりも上方には、オイルキャッチ部15の空間と、ブリーザ室16の空間が形成されている。ここで、水平線HLは、動力伝達装置1の車両での設置状態を基準とした水平線HLである。回転軸X方向から見て水平線HLは、回転軸Xと直交している。
オイルキャッチ部15は、デフケース50の回転中心(回転軸X)を通る鉛直線VLからオフセットした位置に配置されている。図22に示すように、上方からオイルキャッチ部15を見ると、オイルキャッチ部15は、デフケース50の真上からオフセットした位置に配置されている。
ここで、鉛直線VLは、動力伝達装置1の車両での設置状態を基準とした鉛直線VLである。回転軸X方向から見て鉛直線VLは、回転軸Xおよび水平線HLと直交している。
回転軸X方向から見て連通口147は、鉛直線VLをブリーザ室16側(図中、右側)から、オイルキャッチ部15側(図中、左側)に横切る範囲に設けられている。
連通口147は、オイルキャッチ部15に設けられた支持台部151と、回転軸X周りの周方向に隣接する位置に設けられている。これにより、デフケース50で掻き上げられたオイルOLが、連通口147から支持台部151に入りやすくなっている。
そのため、オイルキャッチ部15は、デフケース50の回転方向における下流側に位置している。そして、連通口147の周方向の幅は、鉛直線VLを挟んだ左側のほうが、右側よりも広くなっている。鉛直線VLを挟んだ左側は、デフケース50の回転方向における下流側であり、右側は上流側である。これにより、回転軸X回りに回転するデフケース50で掻き上げられたオイルOLの多くが、オイルキャッチ部15内に流入できるようになっている。
よって、当該周辺部材からオイルキャッチ部15へのオイルOL(潤滑油)の供給をスムーズに行うことができる。
図2に示すように、支持部145において油孔151aの内径側の端部は、リップシールRSとベアリングB2との間に開口している。
回転軸Xの径方向から見て、キャッチ部153は、ピニオン軸44の第2軸部446と重なる位置に設けられている。さらにガイド部154は、ピニオン軸44の第1軸部445と大径歯車部431と重なる位置に設けられている。
傾斜部156および傾斜部157の表面には、それぞれ傾斜が付けられている。これによって、図22に示すように、傾斜部156でキャッチされたオイルOLの一部は、重力に従って油孔151aに向かって流れる。傾斜部157でキャッチされたオイルOLの一部は、重力に従ってガイド部154に向かって流れる。
切欠部155は、油孔151aに対向する領域に設けられている。油孔151aに向かって流れたオイルOLの一部は、切欠部155の部分から油孔151aに向けて排出される。すなわち、切欠部155は、導入口として、油孔151aにオイルOLを導く。
図23に示すように、キャッチ部153の傾斜部157に貯留されたオイルOLの一部は、ガイド部154側に排出される。すなわち、ガイド部154は、分岐口として、キャッチ部153に貯留されたオイルOLの一部を分岐させて、油孔151a以外の箇所へ導く。
壁部120の外周には、貫通孔126aを囲むボス部126が設けられている。ボス部126には、回転軸X方向から配管127の一端が嵌入している。
径方向油路137は、内部空間Scから径方向下側に延びる。径方向油路137は、接合部132内に設けた軸方向油路138に連通する。
オイル溜り部128は、周壁部121内を回転軸X方向に貫通している。オイル溜り部128は、第4ボックス14に設けた第2ギア室Sb2に連絡する。
図1に示すように、動力伝達装置1では、モータ2の出力回転の伝達経路に沿って、遊星減速ギア4と、差動機構5と、ドライブシャフト9(9A、9B)と、が設けられている。
ここで、段付きピニオンギア43の小径歯車部432は、第4ボックス14の内周に固定されたリングギア42に噛合している。そのため、段付きピニオンギア43は、軸線X1回りに自転しながら、回転軸X周りに公転する。回転軸Xは、段付きピニオンギア43(ピニオンギア)の公転中心である。
これにより、段付きピニオンギア43を支持するデフケース50(第1ケース部6、第2ケース部7)が、モータ2側から入力された回転よりも低い回転速度で回転軸X回りに回転する。
そのため、遊星減速ギア4のサンギア41に入力された回転は、段付きピニオンギア43により、大きく減速される。減速された回転は、デフケース50(差動機構5)に出力される。
掻き上げられたオイルOLにより、サンギア41と大径歯車部431との噛合部と、小径歯車部432とリングギア42との噛合部と、ピニオンメートギア52とサイドギア54A、54Bとの噛合部とが潤滑される。
第4ボックス14の上部には、オイルキャッチ部15が設けられている。オイルキャッチ部15は、デフケース50の回転方向における下流側に位置している。デフケース50で掻き上げられたオイルOLの多くが、オイルキャッチ部15内に流入する。
デフケース50の第1ケース部6の径方向外側と、デフケース50の第2ケース部7の径方向外側に、オイルガイド152のガイド部154とキャッチ部153が位置している。
そのため、デフケース50で掻き上げられてオイルキャッチ部15内に流入したオイルOLの多くが、オイルガイド152に捕捉される。
オイルガイド152の傾斜部156に捕捉されたオイルOLの一部は、傾斜に沿って油孔151a側に流れる。オイルOLは、壁部153aに設けた切欠部155から排出されて、支持台部151の上面に一端が開口した油孔151aに流入する。
ケース内油路781に流入したオイルOLは、導入路441を通ってピニオン軸44の軸内油路440に流入する。軸内油路440に流入したオイルOLは、油孔442、443から径方向外側に排出される。排出されたオイルOLは、ピニオン軸44に外挿されたニードルベアリングNBを潤滑する。
さらに、オイルOLは、第2ケース部7の基部71に設けた油溝712と、円弧部741に設けた油溝742を通る。油溝742を通ったオイルOLは、ピニオンメートギア52の裏面を支持する球面状ワッシャ53に供給されて、球面状ワッシャ53を潤滑する。
そのため、ガイド部154に流れたオイルOLの多くが、第2ボックス12の貫通孔126aに流入する。
配管127は、第2ボックス12の外側を通って第3ボックス13まで及んでいる。配管127の他端は、第3ボックス13の円筒状の接続壁136に設けた油孔136a(図2参照)に連通している。
油孔136aから内部空間Scに排出されたオイルOLは、内部空間Scに貯留される。オイルOLは、また、第3ボックス13の周壁部131で支持されたベアリングB4を潤滑する。
図10に示すように、モータシャフト20の他端20bは、サイドギア54Aの筒壁部541の内側に挿入されている。筒壁部541の内周には、サイドギア54Aの裏面に連通する連絡路542が設けられている。
そのため、モータシャフト20の他端20b側まで移動して、筒壁部541の内側に排出されたオイルOLの一部は、連絡路542を通る。連絡路542を通ったオイルOLは、サイドギア54Aの裏面のワッシャ55に供給されて、ワッシャ55を潤滑する。
そのため、内部空間Sc内のオイルOLは、第4ボックス14内に貯留されたオイルOLと同じ高さ位置に保持される。
そして、これらベアリングB2、B4を潤滑したオイルOLは、最終的に第4ボックス14内に戻されて、回転するデフケース50により掻き上げられる。
(1)動力伝達装置1は、差動機構5と、差動機構5を収容するデフケース50(ケース)と、デフケース50に支持された段付きピニオンギア43(ピニオンギア)と、を第4ボックス14(ボックス)内に有している。第4ボックス14は、段付きピニオンギア43の公転中心である回転軸Xを通る水平線HLよりも上方に支持台部151(棚部)を有する。
