Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a linear motor conveyor which has high reliability by forming air gap maintaining means between a stator and a movable element of magnetic retaining means and pneumatic bearings. CONSTITUTION:When an article 3 to be conveyed is placed on a truck 2 and a drive power is supplied to a linear motor movable element 4 provided in the truck 2, the truck 2 moves oppositely to a linear motor stator 6 laid on the ground. In this case, magnetic retaining means 11 of permanent magnets 11a- 11d contacted in parallel are provided in parallel with the ground side of the truck 2, and pneumatic bearings 12 disposed toward the ground side are provided at the centers of the respective magnets 11a-11d. Thus, in order to maintain a gap between the movable element and a stator at the prescribed interval at the driving time, compressed air is fed to the gap from the bearings 12a-12d to repel the attracting force due to the means 11 to provide spring force against the ground.

Next, the function and operation of the conventional linear motor conveyance device having the above configuration will be explained. Place the conveyed object 3 on the trolley 2,
When a driving power source is supplied to the linear motor mover 4 provided on the trolley 2, the linear motor carrier 1 begins to move opposite the linear motor stator 6 laid on the ground. This linear motor type carrier 1 is characterized by a very simple configuration, but normally a suction force that is several times as large as that of the thruster is applied to the gap 9, and the rolling bearings, etc. The gap maintaining means 10 has disadvantages in terms of extra load due to friction and economic efficiency due to its own lifespan. If you try to reduce the attractive force to improve this problem, you will end up with a design that lowers the magnetic flux density.
In this case, the basic characteristics of the linear motor, such as thrust and weight, deteriorate.

Since the conventional linear motor conveyance device is configured as described above, it does not have any permanent magnets or electromagnets.
If it is necessary to have a means to maintain the suction force when the drive power is cut off, turning the drive power on and off will cause large impact load fluctuations on the bearing, which may make it impossible to maintain the gap, for example, if the product falls. There were some drawbacks, such as:

This invention was made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional one, and includes a holding magnetic means using an electromagnetic attraction force between the gaps and an air bearing for sending out pressurized air. It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable linear motor transport device that can operate without problems of friction and longevity.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a holding magnetic means such as a permanent magnet that is parallel to the ground side of the truck 2, and as shown in the back view of the movable element side in FIG. 11a to lid are provided. Further, 12th C is an air bearing disposed at the center of each of the magnets 11a to lid toward the earth side, and each of the air bearings 128 to 12d is all connected to the air supply pipe 13.

Next, its function and operation will be explained.

When the drive power is applied to the linear motor mover 4 after the gap 9 maintains a predetermined distance, the linear motor carrier 1
begins to move opposite the linear motor stator 6. In this case, the attraction force by the holding magnetic means 11, which is sufficiently large compared to the weight of the conveyed object 3 mounted on the trolley 2, can be canceled out by the repulsive force by the air bearing 12 to maintain the predetermined gap.
The linear motor transport vehicle 1 has sufficient spring force against the ground.

The stator 6 may be suspended from the ceiling, and the linear motor carrier 1 may move underneath it; in this case,
Even if the air supply is stopped, it is safe because it does not fall due to the suction force of the holding and holding magnetic means 11, and the same effect as the above embodiment is achieved.
