Definitions
- the present invention relates to a linear actuator that linearly drives an object by converting the rotational motion of a rotational drive source such as a motor into a linear motion, particularly when the load direction is constant, such as the gravity of a load in a lift device.
- the present invention also relates to a linear actuator suitable for a case where a part of work performed when the actuator moves an object against the load is stored in the form of potential energy, spring elastic energy, or the like.
- a hydraulic linear actuator such as a hydraulic cylinder
- the hydraulic oil supply / exhaust path is blocked by a valve and the hydraulic oil is sealed.
- the electric actuator needs to be balanced with a load acting from the outside by generating a torque in the motor as a driving source, while it can be held without consuming any other power by confining it. That is, if it remains as it is, a part or all of the effect of reducing power consumption due to the conversion to the electric actuator will be lost.
- a rise in motor coil temperature during the holding period is a factor that impairs the durability of the device.
- the output shaft is linearly moved from the rotational drive source side such as a motor as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-32708 “Electric Linear Actuator”.
- a mechanism is disclosed that can only be driven and cannot move the output shaft linearly with a thrust load acting on the output shaft.
- the mechanism of the linear actuator described in Patent Document 1 certainly has the effect of eliminating the holding power and improving the durability of the motor, but conversely, the durability of the mechanism itself and the important purpose of electrification of the actuator It was the structure which left the problem that the applicability to the power regeneration which is one of them was not possible. In other words, it can be said that the configuration of an electric linear actuator that can fully bring out the merits of electrification and has excellent practicality has not yet been established.
- the linear actuator described in Patent Document 1 in order to hold the linear motion output shaft at the current position in a state where a load is applied from the driven object, the linear actuator is disposed between the output shaft and a member fixed in the axial direction. Thus, the wedge member is engaged with the wedge.
- a linear motion is generated from the rotation of a motor as a driving source by a rotation-linear motion conversion mechanism, and at the same time, the linear motion speed is reduced to generate a large thrust thrust.
- the reason why the thrust thrust must be increased is that a large load such as drive resistance acts from the driven object.
- the large load is directly supported by the wedge engaging portion, the large load is applied to each contact portion between the components of the wedge engaging mechanism, and the stress value of the contact portion is increased. It becomes a big factor to become high.
- a sphere is used as a rolling element that serves as a wedge member in the linear actuator described in Patent Document 1, and it can only contact a small area close to a point with other parts. It becomes a factor which raises a value further.
- One of the problems to be solved by the present invention is to reduce the stress value generated in the wedge engaging portion, and to realize an electric linear actuator having a small required holding power and excellent durability.
- the wedge engagement always causes the output shaft to linearly move even when the output shaft is linearly moved to rotate the motor as the rotational drive source. It stops at the stage by wedge engagement. That is, even if energy is stored in the driven object, it is not possible to perform power regeneration by reversing the motor as a generator.
- Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to realize an electric linear actuator capable of power regeneration.
- the present invention has the following configuration.
- the rotary member of the rotary drive path is rotationally driven by the rotary drive source, and the rotary motion is converted into the linear motion of the linear motion member by the rotation-linear motion conversion mechanism.
- the rotation member of the rotation drive path is allowed to rotate in the rotation drive direction with respect to the non-rotation member and is prevented from rotating in the opposite direction by wedge engagement.
- a one-way mechanism is configured, and the one-way mechanism is configured to have a switching function to a state in which the reverse rotation of the rotating member is allowed.
- the one-way mechanism in the linear actuator according to the first aspect of the present invention is the one in the circumferential direction between either the outer peripheral surface of the rotating member or the non-rotating member and the other inner peripheral surface.
- a one-way mechanism in which rolling elements are incorporated as wedge members in the gap and biased in the direction in which the gap is reduced by elastic means is arranged adjacent to the circumferential direction of the wedge member.
- the one-way mechanism is configured to allow the rotating member to rotate in the reverse direction.
- the rotating member in the rotational driving direction with respect to the non-rotating member.
- the one-way mechanism prevents rotation in the opposite direction and actively supplies power from the outside to allow reverse rotation.
- the invention according to claim 4 is the linear actuator according to claim 1, wherein at least a part of the external work due to the linear motion of the linear motion member is stored in the form of potential energy, elastic energy, or the like.
- the rotation-linear motion converting mechanism has a screw member formed with a spiral concave / convex groove and a nut member connected to the screw member by a screw pair, and a contact portion between the screw member and the nut member rolls.
- the rotating / linear motion converting mechanism is in contact, and the power regeneration is performed when the one-way mechanism is allowed to rotate in the reverse direction of the rotating member.
- a rotating member of the one-way mechanism that prevents rotation by wedge engagement is provided with a portion having a larger diameter than the other portions.
- a gap distribution that decreases toward one side in the circumferential direction is formed between the non-rotating member and the non-rotating member, and a rolling element is incorporated in the gap as a wedge member and is biased in a direction in which the gap is reduced by elastic means; did.
- the rotation member that prevents the one-way mechanism from rotating by the wedge engagement has a rotation speed (angular velocity) that is the highest in the rotation drive path.
- a rotating member was used.
- a plurality of wedge engaging mechanisms having a rolling element as a wedge member are arranged in a circumferential direction, and the non-rotating member of the one-way mechanism is arranged. Translational motion in a plane perpendicular to the axis was made possible, and it was constrained so that it could not rotate around the axis.
- the rotary drive device when the one-way mechanism allows the reverse rotation of the rotary member and starts power regeneration, the rotary drive device is temporarily driven to rotate. In this state, the one-way mechanism is switched to a state in which the rotating member is allowed to rotate in the reverse direction, and then the rotational driving torque of the rotational driving device is decreased to start power regeneration.
- the holding power can be reduced.
- the wedge engagement is performed not in the linear motion portion where a large thrust acts but in the rotational drive system path where the acting torque is relatively small, the contact force between the components of the wedge engagement is reduced to reduce the contact portion. Can be reduced.
- the rolling element as the wedge member in the one-way mechanism of the rotational drive path can use a cylindrical roller, the contact portion stress between the parts engaging with the wedge can be further reduced to reduce the contact portion stress. Therefore, durability is improved.
- the motor is rotated as a generator by the linear motion on the output shaft side, and power regeneration becomes possible.
- a specific configuration for realizing the wedge engagement of the one-way mechanism is presented, and the wedge engagement is prevented to allow the rotating member to rotate in the reverse direction.
- a specific configuration is also presented.
- the friction coefficient is greatly reduced compared to the case of sliding contact by making rolling contact between the relative motion parts in the rotation-linear motion conversion mechanism, so that rotation to linear motion can be achieved. Not only the conversion but also the mechanical efficiency in the conversion from the linear motion to the rotation can be improved. This makes it possible to secure a meaningful amount of recovery power for power regeneration.
- the torque is increased. What is necessary is just to generate
- the torque to be held by the one-way mechanism in the rotational drive path can be reduced even when the load acting on the linear motion output shaft does not change as follows. Even when the gears are shifted in the middle of the rotation drive path, if the friction loss at these gears is sufficiently small and ignored, the power transmitted at each rotational speed portion can be regarded as almost constant. Since the torque acting on each rotational speed portion is obtained by dividing the above-mentioned constant power by the angular velocity, the torque acting on the rotating member portion having the largest rotational speed is the smallest. Therefore, the stress generated in the wedge engaging portion is also minimized and the durability is improved.
- the non-rotating member automatically moves to a position where the wedge engaging forces in each of the plurality of wedge engaging mechanisms are balanced.
- the wedge engaging force in each wedge engaging mechanism can be equalized, and as a result, the wedge engaging force of some wedge engaging mechanisms can be prevented from increasing. Therefore, the stress generated in the wedge engaging portion is also minimized and the durability is improved.
- the eighth aspect of the present invention it is possible to greatly reduce the frictional resistance of a portion that must be driven when the one-way mechanism switches to a state in which the rotating member is allowed to rotate in the reverse direction for power regeneration.
- the above switching operation that is, power regeneration is substantially enabled.
- holding power which is power for holding an output shaft to which a load is applied from the outside in a fixed position. Further, it is possible to reduce the stress generated in the wedge engaging portion of the component and improve the durability. Moreover, it becomes possible to perform this power regeneration according to an instruction from the outside as necessary, and further power saving can be realized.

- the component includes a biasing spring 18 that biases the spring.
- three inclined surfaces 15b, rollers 17 and biasing springs 18 are arranged in the circumferential direction at an angular pitch of 120 degrees. Further, a part of the roller holder 19 is arranged adjacent to each roller on the side opposite to the biasing spring 18, that is, the clockwise direction side of the biasing spring 18.
- the roller arm 19a that protrudes at one location on the outer periphery of the roller cage 19 is driven back and forth in the circumferential direction by moving the plunger 20a of the cage control solenoid 20 forward and backward.
- the cage 19 is rotationally driven with respect to the slope forming member 15 by a slight angle.
- the plunger 20a is moved rightward in FIG. 5 by the internal spring without energizing the exciting coil of the retainer control solenoid 20, and the roller retainer 19 is rotated in the clockwise direction.
- the plunger 20a moves to the left in FIG. 5 by the electromagnetic attractive force, and rotates the roller holder 19 in the counterclockwise direction.
- the screw shaft 4 rotates counterclockwise as viewed from above.
- the screw formed on the screw shaft 4 is a right-hand screw, so that the nut member 9 and the linear motion output member 10 that are constrained so as not to rotate when the screw shaft rotates counterclockwise are moved downward. Is linked to the linear motion. For this reason, the clockwise rotation of the output shaft 1a is prevented by the wedge engagement as described above, whereby the nut member 9 and the linear motion output member 10 are stopped from moving downward.

- the linear motion output member 10 on which a large external force is acting can be held by stopping the output shaft 1a, which is a rotating member, with a small torque. Therefore, the stress generated in the wedge engaging portion can be made relatively small, and the fatigue life can be extended.
- the output shaft 1a that is a member that stops its movement by wedge engagement is compared with the screw shaft 4 that is a rotating member in the same rotational drive path.
- the torque acting at a large rotational speed is small.
- the selection of the output shaft 1a having a higher rotation speed among the rotating members and stopping the movement by the wedge engagement also contributes to reducing the stress generated in the wedge engaging portion and extending the fatigue life. .
- the actual wedge engagement is applied to the outer peripheral cylindrical surface 1b having a diameter larger than that of the shaft portion of the output shaft 1a.
- the slope forming member 15 is restrained in a non-rotating state with respect to the central housing 13, it can be translated in the plane perpendicular to the axis because of the Oldham ring 16. Therefore, if there is a difference in the tightening force of the three wedge engaging portions in FIG. 6B, the three contact forces acting on the slope forming member 15 as the reaction force are not balanced, and the slope forming member 15 As a result of translational movement in the plane perpendicular to the axis by the unbalanced force, the tightening force of the three wedge engaging portions is equalized, so that the maximum value of the stress generated in the wedge engaging portion can be suppressed from increasing. . This also contributes to extending the fatigue life.
- a screw mechanism in which the frictional resistance is reduced by rolling contact is adopted as the rotation-linear motion conversion mechanism. Even during the power regeneration described above, the reverse efficiency of the rotation-linear motion conversion mechanism is high, and the power regeneration efficiency is also high. A high value can be secured.
- the motor 1 is caused to function as an original rotational drive device, and a counterclockwise rotational drive torque is applied to the output shaft 1a of FIG. With this torque, the external force cancels out the torque that tries to rotate the output shaft 1a in the clockwise direction. As a result, the tension force and the frictional resistance acting on each roller 17 in FIG. 6B are reduced.
- the exciting coil of the cage control solenoid 20 is energized. If the frictional resistance is eliminated by the urging force acting on each roller 17, the force required to push them out is only the urging force by the urging spring 18, so that the magnetic attraction force of the cage control solenoid 20 is driven. As a force, the roller 17 is pushed out by the roller holder 19. Thereafter, the rotational driving torque of the motor 1 is reduced, and the power regeneration is started when the output shaft 1a starts to reversely rotate with the driving torque generated by the external force.
- FIG. 8 shows an example in which the present invention is applied to a forklift that is a working device for carrying a load as one of adaptation examples.
- a mast 101 is attached to the main body 100 of the forklift.
- the luggage lifting / lowering unit 102 attached to the mast 101 includes a holding frame 103 that is attached to the inner frame of the mast 5 via a lift bracket (not shown) so as to be raised and lowered, and a pair of forks 104 attached to the holding frame 103.
- the linear actuator 105 described in the above embodiment can be provided on the driver's seat side of the mast 101, for example.
- the linear actuator 105 does not require any power to hold the lift position when the load lifting section 102 is raised and stopped. Further, when machining, as described above, the internal output shaft is reversely rotated by the driving torque due to the external force, and power regeneration can be performed.
- the forklift provided with the linear actuator in the present embodiment does not require energy to raise and stop and hold the load at a specific position, and when processing the lifted and held load, It is possible to realize an electric forklift capable of effectively recovering.
