Description

本発明は、センサー内蔵ギアユニットに関し、特に、ギアユニット内にセンサーを内蔵することにより、センサーを外付けすることなく回転位置を検出すると共に、遊星ギアのギア軸を輪状ロータに回転自在に支持し、全体構成を小型化するための新規な改良に関する。   The present invention relates to a gear unit with a built-in sensor, and in particular, by incorporating a sensor in the gear unit, the rotational position can be detected without externally attaching the sensor, and the gear shaft of the planetary gear can be rotatably supported by a ring-shaped rotor. In addition, the present invention relates to a novel improvement for reducing the overall configuration.

従来、入力軸の回転を1/nに減速して出力するようにしたギアユニットとしては、社内製作のみであるため、その構成を示す特許文献等は特に開示していないが、モータにはギアユニットを介してレゾルバ等のセンサーが接続されていた。   Conventionally, as a gear unit that reduces the rotation of the input shaft to 1 / n and outputs the gear unit, since it is only manufactured in-house, there is no particular disclosure of a patent document or the like showing its configuration. A sensor such as a resolver was connected via the unit.

従来のギアユニットは、以上のように構成されていたため、次のような課題が存在していた。
すなわち、ギアユニット自体にはセンサーが内蔵されていなかったため、モータの回転数又は回転角度を検出するためには、このギアユニットの前方又は外側に、エンコーダ又はレゾルバ等のセンサーを取付けなければならず、全体形状として大型化し、小型化のニーズには対応が困難であった。
Since the conventional gear unit is configured as described above, the following problems exist.
That is, since no sensor is built in the gear unit itself, in order to detect the rotation speed or rotation angle of the motor, a sensor such as an encoder or a resolver must be attached in front of or outside the gear unit. The overall shape has been increased in size, and it has been difficult to meet the needs for downsizing.

本発明によるセンサー内蔵ギアユニットは、全体形状が筒形をなし内周面に第1ギア及び輪状ステータを有するケースと、前記ケースの軸心位置に回転自在に配設され外周面に第2ギアを有する入力軸と、前記入力軸の外周位置に配設され前記第1、第2ギアに噛合する複数の遊星ギアと、前記輪状ステータの内側に回転自在に設けられ鉄芯からなる輪状ロータと、前記輪状ロータに形成された複数の支持用孔とを備え、前記遊星ギアのギア軸は前記支持用孔に回転自在に設けられ、前記入力軸の回転により、前記各遊星ギアの遊星回転を介して前記輪状ロータを前記回転より減速された1/n回転(但し、nは任意の自然数)させるようにした構成であり、また、前記各遊星ギアのギア軸には、前記輪状ロータの前記支持用孔に挿入された一端と、前記一端との間に前記遊星ギアが位置するように反対位置に形成された他端とが設けられており、前記各遊星ギアの前記他端は、円板に形成された複数の支持用孔にそれぞれ挿入されており、前記入力軸の両端位置には一対の第1、第2輪状リブが設けられ、前記第1輪状リブは前記輪状ロータの外端面に接し、前記第1輪状リブは前記円板の外端面に接している構成であり、また、前記輪状ステータは前記ケースの端面の内側に位置している構成である。
The sensor built-in gear unit according to the present invention has a cylindrical shape as a whole, a case having a first gear and a ring-shaped stator on the inner peripheral surface, and a second gear on the outer peripheral surface rotatably disposed at the axial center position of the case. An input shaft having a plurality of planetary gears disposed at an outer peripheral position of the input shaft and meshing with the first and second gears, and a ring-shaped rotor made of an iron core and rotatably provided inside the ring-shaped stator. A plurality of support holes formed in the ring-shaped rotor, the gear shaft of the planetary gear is rotatably provided in the support hole, and the planetary gears rotate by rotating the input shaft. Through which the ring-shaped rotor is rotated by 1 / n rotation (where n is an arbitrary natural number) decelerated from the rotation, and the gear shaft of each planetary gear includes the ring-shaped rotor of the ring-shaped rotor. Inserted into support hole The other end formed at the opposite position so that the planetary gear is located between the end and the one end, the other end of each planetary gear is a plurality of discs A pair of first and second ring-shaped ribs are provided at both ends of the input shaft, respectively, and the first ring-shaped rib is in contact with an outer end surface of the ring-shaped rotor, and is inserted into the support hole. The rib is configured to be in contact with the outer end surface of the disc, and the annular stator is configured to be located inside the end surface of the case.

本発明によるセンサー内蔵ギアユニットは、以上のように構成されているため、次のような効果を得ることができる。
すなわち、減速手段として遊星ギアを用い、この遊星ギアのギア軸をセンサーの輪状ロータに軸支しているため、モータの回転を検出するためのセンサーをギアユニット内に完全に内蔵することができ、かつ、小型化を得ることができる。
また、ギア付モータのモータ回転検出が可能となり、モータに回転センサーを取付ける必要がなくなる。
Since the sensor built-in gear unit according to the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
That is, a planetary gear is used as a speed reduction means, and the gear shaft of this planetary gear is supported by the annular rotor of the sensor, so that a sensor for detecting the rotation of the motor can be completely incorporated in the gear unit. And size reduction can be obtained.
In addition, the motor rotation of the geared motor can be detected, eliminating the need to attach a rotation sensor to the motor.
