Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the yield of a geared motor by providing a drive shaft itself with a frictional force regulation means for regulating the resiliency of resilient means in a friction torque limiter mechanism to obtain a mechanism for regulating the threshold value of transmission torque easily thereby absorbing fluctuation in the threshold value of transmission torque among the products. SOLUTION: A drive shaft 13 press fitted to the shaft 12 of a miniature motor 10 is provided, on the surface at the base side flange part 13a, with a first heat-resistant slippery resin washer 32a and, on the other side face of a drive gear 14, with a second heat-resistant resin washer 32b and a pressure equalizing ring, i.e., a metal washer 33. The drive shaft 13 is provided, on the forward end side thereof, with a compression coil spring 34 and a torsion mechanism 40 for regulating the friction. The threshold value of transmission torque can be regulated easily by turning the spring stop member 43 in torsion mechanism 40 to vary the compression length of a coil spring 34 thereby varying the static frictional force between the opposite end faces of the drive gear 14 and the resin washers 32a, 32b.

FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a geared motor provided with a conventional friction type torque limiter mechanism. This geared motor includes a driving gear 3 and a driven shaft (transmission shaft) which are small gears that are rotatably supported by a motor shaft 2 of a small motor 1.
A first stage reduction gear mechanism including a driven (transmission) gear 5 that is a large gear that is axially supported by 4 and meshes with a driving gear 3;
And a motor 1. The compression coil spring 7 is wound between the motor shaft 1 and the motor 1 and presses the side end surface 3a of the driving gear 3 against the inner surface 6a of the tip side flange 6 for preventing the motor shaft 1 from coming off. And a friction type torque limiter mechanism.

Since the side end surface 3a of the driving gear 3 is normally pressed against the inner surface 6a of the flange 6 by the elastic biasing force of the compression coil spring 7, the driving gear 3 is separated from the side end surface 3a of the flange 6 and the inner surface 6a of the flange 6. Since the motor shaft 1 rotates by following the rotation due to friction, the driven shaft 4 also rotates via the driven gear 5, and the downstream side (driven side) of the reduction mechanism.
High torque is output to.

However, if an overload or a threshold load is applied to the driven side of the operation target or the like, the rotational resistance force will retroactively flow from the driven side to the driving gear 3 of the friction torque limiter mechanism, and therefore the inner surface 6a of the flange 6 will be described. Then, a slight slip occurs on the side end surface 3a of the driving gear, and the slip state suddenly shifts to idle so that the rotational force (torque) transmission to the driven gear 5 is released. As a result, when the driven joint stops moving, the motor overload is released in a fail-safe manner.

In the friction type torque limiter mechanism, the threshold value (maximum torque) of the transmission torque is determined by the static friction between the inner surface 6a of the flange 6 corresponding to the friction plate and the side end surface 3a of the driving gear. This frictional force is the product of the static friction coefficient μ due to the roughness and contact area of the inner surface 6a of the retaining flange 6 and the side end surface 3a of the driving gear 3 and the pressing force F of the compression coil spring 7 (μF). However, since the flange 6, the driving gear 3, and the coil spring 7 have manufacturing variations in each product, the three thresholds of the transmission torque are reflected in the threshold value, and a large variation occurs synergistically. I will end up. Therefore, the threshold value of the transmission torque for each product varies greatly, and it takes a lot of time and effort to adjust the set value.

Further, during the torque transmission period, the end of the compression coil spring 7 is always in sliding contact with the side end surface of the motor 1 or the driving gear 3, so that the end portion may be worn or lost as it is used. This causes a change in the pressing force F due to use.

And a spring retaining member that is displaced by being screwed into the threaded portion, the compression length of the compression coil spring can be changed by turning the spring retaining member.

This is better than the case where the fastening member is screwed together.

As the friction member, a first heat-resistant slip resin washer that contacts one side end surface of the driving gear and a second heat-resistant slip resin contact that contacts the other side end surface of the driving gear. When the washer made is used, both end faces of the driving gear serve as friction plates, and the friction area can be doubled as compared with the conventional case, so that the dynamic range of the threshold value of the transmission torque can be expanded. Further, since the heat-resistant slippery resin washer is interposed, deterioration of the friction surface due to frictional heat can be effectively prevented, and the life can be extended. Further, the compression coil spring rotates together with the driving shaft regardless of whether the torque is transmitted or cut off, and has no sliding contact portion. Therefore, the compression coil spring itself is not worn or lost, and the set torque threshold value can be maintained for a long time.

Since both end surfaces of the driving gear 14 are in contact with the resin washers 32a and 32b as friction plates by the elastic pressing force of the compression coil spring 34, when the small motor 10 operates and the driving shaft 13 rotates, The static frictional force causes the driving gear 14 to follow and rotate, whereby torque is transmitted to the driven gear 16 and high torque is output to the output shaft 23 via the four-stage reduction gear mechanism.

When an overload or a threshold load is applied to the output shaft side of the operation target or the like, the rotational resistance force is retroactively extended from the output shaft 23 to the first driven gear 16, so that both end faces of the driving gear 14 and the resin-made gear are made of resin. When a slight slip occurs in the contact between the washers 32a and 32b, the washer immediately slips into a slip state and idles, whereby the rotational force (torque) transmission from the motor 1 to the driven gear 16 is released.

By rotating the spring retaining member 43 of the screw mechanism 40 for friction adjustment, the compression length of the coil spring 34 can be varied. When the compression length is increased and tightened, the elastic pressing force increases, so that the static frictional force between the both end surfaces of the driving gear 14 and the resin washers 32a and 32b is increased, and therefore, the threshold value of the transmission torque is increased. The threshold can be adjusted.
