Abstract

PURPOSE:To achieve a stable motion in a compact structure by arranging a nearly hourglass-shaped roller along the circumferential direction of a shaft in a state of being tilted to an axial center of the shaft, and holding the roller between an outer circumferential surface of the shaft and a curved and projecting load rolling surface of an outer cylindrical member by means of line contact. CONSTITUTION:A roller 2 comes into contact with a load rolling surface 31 of an outer cylindrical member 3 and a shaft outer circumferential surface 11 in a state of being tilted as far as a specified angle theta with the axial center of a shaft 1, and when the shaft 1 or the outer cylindrical member 3 is rotated, it rolls on the shaft outer circumferential surface 11 as describing a spiral locus so far as this outer circumferential surface 11, while in regard to the load rolling surface 31, it rolls along the circumferential direction. The roller 2 is formed into a nearly hourglass-shaped one smaller in a diameter of an axial central part 21 than that of a double end part 22, and the outer circumferential surface is formed into a curved and recessed surface along the axial direction. The load rolling surface 31 of the outer cylindrical member 3 is formed into a curved and projecting surface conformed to the curved and recessed surface of the roller 2. Thus, since contact length between the roller 2 and the shaft 1 is sufficiently produced, axial propulsive force of the outer cylindrical member 3 utilizing frictional force is well improved in this way.

[Prior Art 1] Conventionally, in the field of industrial machinery and the like, ball screws have generally been widely used as devices for mutually converting rotational motion and linear motion.

This ball screw consists of a screw shaft in which a spiral rolling groove with a predetermined lead angle is carved, a spiral load rolling groove that, together with the rolling groove, holds the pole, and It consists of a NAND with a ball return passage through which the balls circulate from one end of the groove to the other. For example, by applying rotational motion to either the shaft or the NAND, linear motion can be derived from the other. can.

■Since the pole rolls in surface contact inside the rolling groove and the load rolling groove, which have a roughly semicircular cross section, there is a gap between the outer contact diameter and the inner contact diameter of the ball around the rotation axis. A difference occurs, and since the rotation of the ball is always accompanied by slippage between the balls and the multi-grooves, the amount of heat generated during operation is large.

Specifically, a plurality of rollers tilted in accordance with a predetermined lead angle are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical shaft, and these rollers are sandwiched between the outer circumferential surface of the shaft and the inner circumferential surface of the nut. The mechanism is such that the nut or shaft is driven in the axial direction by using the axial force generated when the rollers revolve around the shaft's outer peripheral surface.

According to this device (hereinafter referred to as a roller screw), the rollers roll along the inner peripheral surface of the nut in the circumferential direction, so
Unlike a ball screw, there is no need to provide a return path in the NAND to circulate the rolling elements endlessly, and the rollers can operate very quietly, and the rotation of the rollers is accompanied by sliding on the shaft outer circumferential surface and the nut inner circumferential surface. Since there is no heat generated during operation, heat generation can be kept to a minimum.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in this roller screw, the frictional force generated between the roller and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft is used for the axial thrust of the nut or the shaft, so it is difficult to increase the frictional force. If it can be set, it is preferable because the number of rollers can be reduced and the device can be made more compact.

However, with conventional roller screws,
Since the cylindrical rollers used in roller bearings such as cam followers are simply used, if the rollers are arranged around the shaft at a predetermined angle as described above, only the axial center of the rollers will touch the shaft. The structure ends up being in contact with the outer peripheral surface. Therefore, it was not possible to create a sufficient contact area between the two, and the number of rollers had to be increased more than necessary in order to create a sufficient axial thrust.

One possible way to increase the axial thrust is to increase the contact force between the roller and the outer circumferential surface of the shaft, that is, to apply a larger preload to the roller, but in that case, the rotation of the shaft or nut is This has the disadvantage that a large torque is required.

In addition, as mentioned above, the contact between the roller and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft is not uniform, and the contact between the roller and the inner peripheral surface of the nut is also not uniform, so if the preload applied to the roller is increased, There is also the possibility that the rollers will undergo unreasonable elastic deformation, leading to damage, or the rollers may become skewed, resulting in an inability to move.
