Description

磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトの磁歪材料被膜パターンの形成方法およびその磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトHow to form the magnetostrictive material coating pattern of the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft and its magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft
 本発明は、シャフト(回転軸)の表面にトルク検出用の磁歪部を有する磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトのアモルファス溶射被膜、アモルファス箔、めっきによるアモルファス被膜等の各種磁歪材料被膜パターンの形成方法およびその各種磁歪材料被膜パターンを有する磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトに関するものである。 The present invention provides a method for forming various magnetostrictive material coating patterns such as an amorphous spray coating, an amorphous foil, and an amorphous coating by plating on a shaft for a magnetostrictive torque sensor having a magnetostrictive portion on the surface of the shaft (rotating shaft) for torque detection. It relates to a shaft for a magnetostrictive torque sensor having various magnetostrictive material coating patterns.
 磁歪部を有するシャフトを用いてトルクを検出するトルクセンサーは、一般的な構造を図5に示すように、トルクを受けるシャフト(トルクセンサーシャフト)11が軸受16を介してハウジング17に支持されており、そのシャフト11の一部表面において全周(360度)に磁歪部11V・11Wが形成されている。又、ハウジング17の内側で、磁歪部11V・11Wの各外周に近い位置にコイルX・Yが配置されている。磁歪部11V・11Wとしては、シャフト11の周面に磁歪材料が、図示の通り軸方向に対して逆向きに傾斜した螺旋状(いわゆるシェブロン状)の縞模様に形成される(つまり、磁歪体の被膜や突出部を螺旋状の複数の線として形成される)のが一般的である。ハウジング17には、図示のようにアンプ基板18や信号線用のコネクタ19なども付設される。
 即ち、図5に示す一般的なトルクセンサーは、シャフト11にトルクが作用すると、磁歪部11V・11Wに引張応力と圧縮応力とがそれぞれ発生し、その結果、相反する磁歪効果によって各磁歪部11V・11Wの透磁率がそれぞれ増加・減少することにより、この透磁率の変化に基づいてコイルX・Yに誘導起電力が発生し、直流変換や両者の差動増幅を行うことにより、トルクの大きさに比例した電圧出力が得られる構造となっている(特許文献1、特許文献2参照)。
A torque sensor that detects torque using a shaft having a magnetostrictive portion has a general structure in which a shaft (torque sensor shaft) 11 that receives torque is supported by a housing 17 via a bearing 16 as shown in FIG. A magnetostrictive portion 11V / 11W is formed on the entire circumference (360 degrees) of a part of the surface of the shaft 11. Further, inside the housing 17, the coils XY are arranged at positions close to the outer circumferences of the magnetostrictive portions 11V and 11W. As the magnetostrictive portions 11V and 11W, a magnetostrictive material is formed on the peripheral surface of the shaft 11 in a spiral (so-called chevron-like) striped pattern inclined in the opposite direction to the axial direction as shown in the figure (that is, a magnetostrictive body). The coating and protrusions of the surface are generally formed as a plurality of spiral lines). As shown in the figure, the housing 17 is also provided with an amplifier board 18, a connector 19 for a signal line, and the like.
That is, in the general torque sensor shown in FIG. 5, when torque acts on the shaft 11, tensile stress and compressive stress are generated in the magnetostrictive portions 11V and 11W, respectively, and as a result, the magnetostrictive portions 11V are caused by the opposite magnetostrictive effects.・ As the magnetostriction of 11W increases and decreases, induced electromotive force is generated in the coils XY based on the change in the magnetostriction, and the torque is large by performing DC conversion and differential amplification of both. The structure is such that a voltage output proportional to the above can be obtained (see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).
 上記構成のトルクセンサーの上記シャフトの表面に形成される磁歪部11V・11Wが金属ガラス(例えばアモルファス合金)の被膜の場合、当該被膜は、火炎を急速冷却する方式の溶射によってシャフトの表面に形成される。火炎を急速冷却する溶射とは、金属粉末を含む火炎を噴射して金属粉末を溶融させるとともに、当該火炎を冷却ガスによって冷却する方式の溶射である。そのアモルファス溶射被膜成形の主な工程は、溶射前の粗面加工処理(ショットブラスト)、アモルファス溶射、マスキング(シート貼り付け)、アモルファス被膜のシェブロン状パターン成形(ショットブラスト)、マスキングシート剥がし工程からなり、各工程の処理を経て前記縞模様の磁歪部が得られる。アモルファス合金の成分としては、Fe-Co系、Fe-Ni系、Ni-P系等が知られている。
 なお、磁歪材料としては、アモルファス合金の他に、例えば成分比が36Fe-36Co-4Si-20B-4Nb(単位:at%)等のFe-Co系の磁歪特性を持つパーメンジュール(FeとCoの割合が1:1)の特殊配合版等がある。
When the magnetostrictive portions 11V and 11W formed on the surface of the shaft of the torque sensor having the above configuration are a coating of metallic glass (for example, an amorphous alloy), the coating is formed on the surface of the shaft by thermal spraying of a method of rapidly cooling the flame. Will be done. The thermal spraying for rapidly cooling a flame is a thermal spraying method in which a flame containing a metal powder is injected to melt the metal powder and the flame is cooled by a cooling gas. The main steps of forming the amorphous thermal spray coating are rough surface processing before thermal spraying (shot blasting), amorphous thermal spraying, masking (sheet pasting), shebron-like pattern forming of amorphous coating (shot blasting), and masking sheet peeling process. Therefore, the magnetically distorted portion of the striped pattern is obtained through the processing of each step. As the components of the amorphous alloy, Fe—Co type, Fe—Ni type, Ni—P type and the like are known.
As the magnetostrictive material, in addition to the amorphous alloy, for example, a permendur (Fe and Co) having a Fe—Co-based magnetostrictive characteristic such as a component ratio of 36Fe-36Co-4Si-20B-4Nb (unit: at%). There is a special compound version with a ratio of 1: 1).
 前記した従来の磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトの製造方法において、例えばアモルファス溶射後に基材(アルミニウム、銅、炭素鋼およびステンレス鋼等の金属材)の表面にマスキングシートを貼り付けて行われるアモルファス被膜パターンの成形処理は、例えば特許文献2に記載されているように、粗面加工処理後の基材表面にアモルファス溶射被膜を形成した後マスキングシートを貼り付け、アルミ粉末によるショットブラストによりアモルファス溶射被膜を剥がして行われる。このアモルファス溶射被膜を剥がす際は、溶射被膜を残したい所望するパターンのマスクを製作しておき、このマスクを被膜形成された基材表面に貼り付け、アルミ粉末によるショットブラストをかける方法がとられる。 In the conventional method for manufacturing a shaft for a magnetic strain type torque sensor, for example, an amorphous coating pattern is performed by attaching a masking sheet to the surface of a base material (metal material such as aluminum, copper, carbon steel and stainless steel) after thermal spraying. In the molding treatment of, for example, as described in Patent Document 2, an amorphous sprayed coating is formed on the surface of the base material after the rough surface processing treatment, a masking sheet is attached, and the amorphous sprayed coating is formed by shot blasting with aluminum powder. It is peeled off. When peeling off this amorphous sprayed coating, a method is taken in which a mask with a desired pattern for which the sprayed coating is to be left is produced, this mask is attached to the surface of the base material on which the coating is formed, and shot blasting is performed with aluminum powder. ..
 しかしながら、上記した特許文献2に記載されている従来のアルミ粉末を用いたショットブラストによるアモルファス被膜パターンの成形処理には、以下に記載する(1)~(6)の問題点がある。
 (1).マスキングシートの剥離に相当の時間を要する。
 (2).シャフト径(通常φ6mm未満)が細い場合、マスキングシートが有効に作用しない。
 (3).マスキングシートに所望する複雑なパターンを形成しにくい。
 (4).マスキングシートの貼り付け、剥離作業および剥離後の廃棄シートの処理に多くの手間と時間を要する。
 (5).ショットブラスト装置やマスキングシート貼り付けおよび剥離装置が必要で、設備費が高くつく。
 (6).アルミ粉末は繰り返しの使用により摩耗して所定の粒径より小さくなると、ショットブラスト機能が失われて廃棄処理されることとなり、不経済である。
However, the molding process of the amorphous film pattern by shot blasting using the conventional aluminum powder described in Patent Document 2 described above has the problems (1) to (6) described below.
(1). It takes a considerable amount of time to peel off the masking sheet.
(2). If the shaft diameter (usually less than φ6 mm) is small, the masking sheet does not work effectively.
(3). It is difficult to form the desired complicated pattern on the masking sheet.
(4). It takes a lot of time and effort to attach the masking sheet, peel it off, and dispose of the waste sheet after peeling off.
(5). A shot blasting device and a masking sheet pasting and peeling device are required, and the equipment cost is high.
(6). If the aluminum powder wears due to repeated use and becomes smaller than the predetermined particle size, the shot blasting function is lost and the aluminum powder is discarded, which is uneconomical.
 このように、特許文献2に開示されている従来のアルミ粉末を用いたショットブラストによるアモルファス被膜パターンの成形処理技術は、溶射後のパターン成形処理、マスキングシートの貼り付け、剥離作業および剥離後の廃棄シートの処理等に相当の時間を必要とするのみならず、ショットブラスト装置やマスキングシートの貼り付け装置および剥離装置が必要であり、また細いシャフトの場合には、マスキングシートが有効に作用せず、さらに消耗品であるアルミ粉末も高くつくことなどから、磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトの製造コストが高くつくのみならず、加工精度および品質の安定性に優れた磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトを低コストで製造することは容易ではなかった。 As described above, the conventional technique for forming an amorphous film pattern by shot blasting using aluminum powder disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes a pattern forming process after spraying, a masking sheet, a peeling operation, and a peeling process. Not only does it take a considerable amount of time to dispose of the waste sheet, but it also requires a shot blasting device, a masking sheet pasting device, and a peeling device, and in the case of a thin shaft, the masking sheet works effectively. In addition, since aluminum powder, which is a consumable item, is also expensive, the manufacturing cost of the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft is high, and the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft, which has excellent processing accuracy and quality stability, is low. It was not easy to manufacture at cost.

It is a thing.

We have found that sensor shafts can be manufactured at low cost.
That is, the method for forming the magnetostrictive material coating pattern of the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft according to the present invention adopts a laser irradiation method for forming the coating pattern instead of the conventional shot blast method using aluminum powder. By irradiating the magnetostrictive material coating formed on the surface of the base material made of a metal member with a laser, the magnetostrictive material coating absorbs the light energy of the laser and instantly evaporates, removing or crystallizing from the surface of the base material. It is characterized in that a desired film pattern is formed by losing the magnetostrictive property. As the magnetostrictive material, as described above, there are an amorphous sprayed coating, an amorphous foil coating, an amorphous plating coating by Ni plating and the like.
 磁歪材料にアモルファス溶射被膜を採用した場合の、本発明の磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトのアモルファス被膜パターンの形成方法は、金属製部材からなる基材表面に形成されたアモルファス溶射被膜にレーザ照射することにより、レーザの持つ光エネルギーをアモルファス溶射被膜が吸収し瞬時に蒸発することとなり基材表面から除去、あるいは結晶化し磁歪特性を失うことで所望のアモルファス被膜パターンを形成することを特徴とするものである。 When an amorphous spray coating is used as the magnetostrictive material, the method for forming the amorphous coating pattern of the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft of the present invention is to irradiate the amorphous spray coating formed on the surface of the base material made of a metal member with a laser. As a result, the amorphous spray coating absorbs the light energy of the laser and evaporates instantly, removing it from the surface of the substrate or crystallizing it and losing its magnetostrictive characteristics to form a desired amorphous coating pattern. be.

The magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft according to the present invention is a magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft having a magnetostrictive portion for torque detection on the surface of the shaft, and is a magnetostrictive material formed on the surface of a base material made of a metal member. It is characterized by having a desired coating pattern formed by irradiating the coating with a laser.
Here, the magnetostrictive material is an amorphous sprayed coating, an amorphous foil, or an amorphous formed product by plating (Ni plating or the like) as described above.

In the present invention, the laser irradiation method is adopted instead of the conventional shot blast method using aluminum powder as the magnetostrictive material coating pattern forming processing means for the reasons described below.
That is, in the conventional shot blasting with aluminum powder, it occurs after the masking sheet is attached and peeled and the sheet is peeled off in the coating pattern forming process of the magnetic strain material such as the amorphous sprayed coating, the amorphous foil coating, and the plating coating such as Ni plating. It takes a lot of time and effort to dispose of the waste sheet, and when the aluminum powder wears due to repeated use and becomes smaller than the predetermined particle size, the shot blasting function is lost and the waste sheet is disposed of. While waste is generated and it is uneconomical, a shot blasting device, a masking sheet pasting device, and a peeling device are required, and the equipment cost is high, the laser irradiation method has problems such as a shot blasting device and Simplified equipment by eliminating the need for a masking sheet pasting device and peeling device, omitting masking sheet pasting and peeling work, shortening post-treatment time and reducing waste, and excellent processing accuracy and quality stability. In addition to many effects such as the ability to manufacture shafts for magnetic strain type torque sensors at low cost, Goal 12 of the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) "Sustainable Production" This is because it is possible to contribute to "securing the form of consumption".
 本発明の磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトの製造方法によれば、アモルファス溶射被膜、アモルファス箔被膜、Niめっき等によるアモルファスめっき被膜等の磁歪材料のパターン成形処理手段にレーザ照射方式を採用したことにより、マスキングシート費の削減、ショットブラスト装置やマスキングシート貼り付け装置および剥離装置の不要による設備の簡便化、マスキングシートの貼り付けおよび剥離作業の省略、後処理時間の短縮等がはかられる上、複雑なパターンの形成も容易である。又、本発明の磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトは、レーザ照射方式により磁歪材料被膜を除去して形成した磁歪材料被膜パターンを有するので、出力感度も安定している。 According to the method for manufacturing a shaft for a magnetostrictive torque sensor of the present invention, a laser irradiation method is adopted as a pattern forming processing means for a magnetostrictive material such as an amorphous sprayed coating, an amorphous foil coating, and an amorphous plating coating by Ni plating. It is complicated in addition to reducing masking sheet costs, simplifying equipment by eliminating the need for shot blasting equipment, masking sheet pasting equipment, and peeling equipment, omitting masking sheet pasting and peeling work, and shortening post-processing time. It is easy to form an amorphous pattern. Further, since the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft of the present invention has a magnetostrictive material coating pattern formed by removing the magnetostrictive material coating by a laser irradiation method, the output sensitivity is also stable.

 図1に示す本発明の磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトの第一実施例(磁歪材料:アモルファス溶射被膜)の製造方法は、基材(アルミニウム、銅、炭素鋼およびステンレス鋼等の金属材)の表面に施すアモルファス溶射前の粗面加工処理(前処理)と、前記粗面加工処理を終えた基材の表面に磁歪材料であるアモルファスを溶射して磁歪部を形成するアモルファス溶射工程と、前記アモルファス溶射工程で形成したアモルファス溶射被膜をレーザ照射により基材より除去し、所望の被膜パターンを形成するパターン成形処理工程(後処理)とからなっている。なお、アモルファス溶射前の粗面加工処理は、アルミ粉末によるショットブラスト方式等が採用されるが、必ずしも必要とするものではない。 The method for producing the first embodiment (magnetic strain material: amorphous sprayed coating) of the shaft for a magnetic strain type torque sensor of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is the surface of a base material (metal material such as aluminum, copper, carbon steel and stainless steel). Rough surface processing (pretreatment) before amorphous thermal spraying, an amorphous thermal spraying step of spraying amorphous, which is a magnetic strain material, on the surface of the base material after the rough surface processing to form a magnetic strain portion, and the amorphous It consists of a pattern forming treatment step (post-treatment) in which the amorphous thermal spray coating formed in the thermal spraying step is removed from the base material by laser irradiation to form a desired coating pattern. For the rough surface processing before amorphous thermal spraying, a shot blasting method using aluminum powder or the like is adopted, but it is not always necessary.
 即ち、図1に示す本発明の磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトの製造方法(磁歪材料:アモルファス溶射被膜)は、後処理工程であるパターン成形処理工程において、前記アモルファス溶射被膜をレーザ照射により基材より除去し、所望の被膜パターン(模様)を形成する。その際は、レーザ照射によるパターン形成の進行に応じて、当該基材の周角度の相当量をコントロールしながらパターン形成を進めていく。この処理により所望の被膜パターン(模様)が形成された磁歪式トルクセンサー用シャフトが得られる。 That is, in the method for manufacturing the magnetostrictive torque sensor shaft (magnetostrictive material: amorphous sprayed coating) shown in FIG. 1, the amorphous sprayed coating is irradiated from a substrate by laser irradiation in a pattern forming treatment step which is a post-treatment step. Remove to form the desired coating pattern.
