Abstract:
1. A resin double-helical gear having an angular tooth, wherein: among two tooth flanks sandwiching a tooth crest of the tooth, a tooth flank on a side including an angular peak section is a peak-side tooth flank and a tooth flank on an opposite side is a valley-side tooth flank, and when a standard tooth having a tooth thickness that is constant at arbitrary positions from one tooth width direction end section to a tooth width direction center section and from another tooth width direction end section to the tooth width direction center section of the tooth is assumed, the peak-side tooth flank of the tooth is formed such as to become farther away from the peak-side tooth flank of the standard tooth towards the valley-side tooth flank of the standard tooth, the closer the peak-side tooth flank of the tooth is to the tooth width direction center section from the one tooth width direction end section and the other tooth width direction end section, and the valley-side tooth flank of the tooth is formed such as to become farther away from the valley-side tooth flank of the standard tooth towards the peak-side tooth flank of the standard tooth, the closer the valley-side tooth flank of the tooth is to the tooth width direction center section from the one tooth width direction end section and the other tooth width direction end section; a meshing escape section of which dimensions in a tooth thickness direction increases from the one tooth width direction end section and the other tooth width direction end section towards the tooth width direction center section is formed between the peak-side tooth flank of the standard tooth and the peak-side tooth flank of the tooth and between the valley-side tooth flank of the standard tooth and the valley-side tooth flank of the tooth; a twist angle of the peak-side tooth flank of the tooth is set to be smaller than a twist angle of a tooth flank of the standard tooth; and a twist angle of the valley-side tooth flank of the tooth is set to be larger than the twist angle of the tooth flank of the standard tooth.
