Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a multi-pole / multi-phase linear DC brushless motor capable of obtaining a smooth thrust ripple characteristic, and is characterized by a magnetic pole discrimination element. Even if the magnetic pole discriminator and the armature coil are arranged so as not to overlap even if they are arranged at a position where a smooth thrust ripple can be obtained, a large thrust can be obtained and the magnetic pole discriminator and the armature coil can be easily arranged. This is because it facilitates the assembly process and is suitable for many fields such as various linear tables and precision measuring devices.

[Prior Art and its Problems] In a multi-pole multi-phase linear DC brushless motor, it is necessary to discriminate the magnetic poles of a field magnet by a magnetic pole discriminating element to switch the energization of the armature coil in an appropriate direction. In such a linear DC brushless motor, unlike the rotary brushless motor, the moving element or the stator has a finite length, and end effects occur. Therefore, the magnetic pole discrimination element is arranged in the same way as the rotary brushless motor. Therefore, a linear DC brushless motor with smooth thrust ripple characteristics cannot be obtained. This is already known in Shiraki and Miyao, "Illustration, Linear Servo Motor and System Design" (published March 20, 1986, Electronic General Publishing), P157-168.

That is, in the case of a linear DC brushless motor, the conductor portion that contributes to the thrust generated by the armature coil (when considering the conductor portion at the position where the magnetic pole discrimination element is disposed, the center line in the middle of this conductor portion is used as a reference). If the magnetic pole discriminating element is placed at a position where it does not overlap with other armature coils in the same phase, the thrust ripple characteristics will deteriorate and the slider will not be able to run smoothly.

As described above, in the multi-pole / multi-phase linear DC brushless motor, the position of the magnetic pole discrimination element has a great influence on its characteristics.

For this reason, in the case of a linear DC brushless motor, a magnetic pole discriminating element is arranged at a position facing the conductor part that contributes to the thrust of the armature coil facing the field magnet, and a smooth thrust ripple characteristic is obtained to make the mover move. To allow smooth running.

That is, in the prior art, as shown in FIG. 3, the conductor portion 1a or 1b and the conductor portion 1a or 1b that contribute to the generation of the thrust of the L width orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving element (not shown) of the air-core type rectangular frame-shaped armature coil 1 The armature is provided on the conductor portion 2 of the armature coil 1 where the conductor portion 1c or 1d that does not contribute to the generation of thrust parallel to the moving direction of the mover intersects with the field magnet (not shown). The magnetic pole discriminating element 3 for the coil 1 is provided.

However, according to this method, since the magnetic pole discriminating element 3 is disposed on the surface of the conductor portion 1a or 1b that contributes to the generation of thrust that opposes the field magnet of the armature coil 1,
The magnetic gap length between the stator yokes provided with the armature coils 1 facing the field magnet increases by the thickness of the magnetic pole discrimination element 3, and as a result, the magnetic flux density reaching the armature coils 1 by that amount. It also weakened, and there was a drawback that a large thrust could not be obtained.

Therefore, in order to improve this, conventionally, the method shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 [the printed wiring board 8 is omitted in FIG. 5] has been adopted.

This multi-pole / multi-phase movable magnet type linear DC brushless motor LDM is an N-pole motor having a coreless stator armature 4 consisting of the above armature coil 1 and an N-pole with a width in the moving direction of a moving element 5 through a minute gap. The multi-pole field magnet 6 formed by arranging the S poles adjacent to each other is used as a moving element. The conductor portions 1c and 1d of the rectangular frame-shaped armature coil 1 forming the coreless stator armature 4 that do not contribute to the generation of thrust are many conductor portions that do not contribute to generation of thrust. 1d length width α
However, the width of the moving element 5 in the moving direction is narrower than L '(L = L' +
A field magnet 6 having a width of α) is used.

According to the movable magnet type linear D brushless motor LDM formed in this way, since the field magnet 6 has a narrow width, the conductor portions 1a and 1d that contribute to the generation of thrust and the conductor portions that do not contribute to generation of thrust. Even if the magnetic pole discriminating element 3 such as a Hall element or a Hall IC is arranged on the conductor portion 2 where 1c and 1d intersect, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3 does not face the field magnet 6, so that it is different from the conventional one. The armature coil 1 which faces the field magnet 6 by the thickness of the magnetic pole discriminating element 3.
It is not necessary to increase the magnetic gap length between the stator yokes 7 in which the magnetic poles are arranged, and as a result, the magnetic flux density reaching the armature coil 1 is increased, and a large thrust can be obtained.

In addition, reference numeral 7 indicates a stator yoke and linear guide,
Reference numeral 8 is a field magnet 6 of the coreless stator armature 4.
A printed wiring board (not shown) for electrically connecting the terminals of the magnetic pole discriminating element 3 and the armature coil group 1 is formed on the printed wiring board made of a non-magnetic material, which is disposed on the surface opposed to. Reference numeral 9 is a traveling yoke that forms the moving element 5. Both sides of the traveling yoke extend in the direction of the lower surface to form extended bent portions 9a. The guide rollers 10 rotatably attached to the extended bent portions 9a are provided. The field magnet 6 is guided by running on both sides of the stator yoke and linear guide 7.
The moving element 5 composed of the traveling yoke 9 to which is attached is configured to make relative linear movement with the stator 11 composed of the coreless stator armature 4 and the like. Reference numeral 12 indicates a fixed base of the stator 11.

Such a linear DC brushless motor LDM has been put to practical use and is a useful one with sufficient results.

However, such a linear DC brushless motor LD
M is advantageous when the thrust is small and small, but of course the linear DC brushless motor LD
M also becomes large, the shape of the armature coil 1 used for this also becomes large, and the conductor parts 1a, 1b that contribute to the generation of thrust
Also, the conductor portions 1c and 1d that do not contribute to the generation of thrust are formed to have large widths.

Therefore, the conductor portion 2 in which the conductor portions 1a and 1d that contribute to the generation of thrust and the conductor portions 1c and 1d that do not contribute to the generation of thrust intersect
Since the large width also occupies the conductor portions 1a and 1b that contribute to the generation of the thrust, the area of is not negligible in the generation of the thrust.

Therefore, when the linear DC brushless motor LDM structure having the above-mentioned structure ignoring the conductor portion 2 is used, the thrust force obtained by the conductor portions 1a and 1b that contribute to the generation of the thrust force that constitutes the conductor portion 2 is wasted. A large thrust cannot be obtained.

That is, when the linear DC brushless motor capable of obtaining a larger thrust is effectively used by effectively utilizing the thrust obtained by the conductors 1a and 1b that contribute to the generation of the thrust forming the conductor 2, The width of the field magnet 6 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element is also equal to that of the conductor 2
It is desirable to form it so as to have a width L that is large enough to face with.

That is, the linear DC brushless motor LDM-1 structure as shown in FIG. 6 is used.

Incidentally, in FIG. 6, the points common to FIG. 4 and FIG.
The same reference numerals are used and the description thereof is omitted. Reference numeral 6'denotes a field magnet [see FIG. 7] formed on both sides of the field magnet 6 by the width α of the conductor portions 1c and 1d that do not contribute to the generation of thrust.

However, with this configuration, similarly to the above, the conductor portion 1a or 1b of the conductor portion 1a or 1b that contributes to the generation of thrust that opposes the field magnet 6'of the armature coil 1 [third
[See FIG.] Since the magnetic pole discriminating element 3 is arranged on the surface, the field magnet 6 ′ is formed by the thickness of the magnetic pole discriminating element 3.
The length of the magnetic gap 13 between the stator yokes 7 in which the armature coils 1 facing each other are increased, and as a result, the magnetic flux density reaching the armature coils 1 is weakened accordingly, and a large thrust is obtained. Has no drawbacks.

Therefore, in order to make effective use of the conductor portion 2 of the armature coil 1 so that thrust is also generated by the conductor portion 2, in the prior art, the movable magnet type linear DC brushless shown in FIG. As shown in the motor LDM-2, a conductor portion 1a or 1b that contributes to the generation of thrust of the armature coil 1.
The magnetic pole discriminating element 3 is arranged at the position of the printed wiring board 8'on the extension of [the conductor portion 1b is selected in the figure].

Moreover, in the method of detecting the leakage magnetic flux of the field magnet, it is not reliable to detect the position surely and accurately switch the current of the armature coil 1. Therefore, in this linear DC brushless motor LDM-2, Field magnet 6
-1 is a width with an increased β width so as to face the magnetic pole discriminating element 3, that is, an L ″ (= L + β) width, so that a strong detection magnetic flux can be obtained and reliable position detection can be performed. I have to. Reference numeral 9'denotes a traveling yoke fixed to the upper surface of the field magnet 6-1.

However, such a linear DC brushless motor LD
According to M-2, since the weight of the field magnet 6-1 is increased by the increased width β, the weight of the traveling yoke 9'and the like attached to the field magnet 6-1 is also increased,
It has a drawback that the load becomes large, the output efficiency for external use becomes poor, and it becomes large and expensive.

[Problems of the Invention] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances.
Since the magnetic pole discrimination element is arranged at a position facing the conductor portion that contributes to the generation of the thrust of the armature coil, a smooth thrust ripple can be obtained. Even if the linear DC brushless motor is arranged at a position, it can be arranged so as not to overlap with the armature coil, so that the magnetic pole discrimination element can be arranged very easily, the assembly and adjustment are facilitated, and the cost is low. Even if the width of the field magnet in the direction orthogonal to the mover is formed to be the same as the width of the armature coil in the direction perpendicular to the mover, the field magnet and the stator armature side The length of the magnetic gap between the stator yokes is not increased, and the width of the field magnet in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving element is not unnecessarily increased, so that the cost is reduced and In order to improve the force, and generally, the armature coil is formed by winding a large number of turns of a conductive wire. When the armature coil is wound around the winding frame, the armature coil has a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. Frame-shaped armature coil 1
Difficult to form, and if the winding process is not successful,
Generally, it is formed in an elliptical shape in a plane. Such an elliptical armature coil 1 is generally regarded as a defective product. However, in the present invention, conversely, an elliptical armature coil on a plane where winding is easy is used as a good product. It is an object to obtain a linear DC brushless motor that solves the above-mentioned problems such that a linear DC brushless motor can be formed inexpensively and easily and the above-mentioned problems can be achieved. Other issues will be clarified in the following explanation.

[Means for Achieving the Object of the Invention] The object of the present invention is to form a field magnet by providing P (P is an integer of 2 or more) N magnetic poles and S magnetic poles so that adjacent magnetic poles have different polarities. Then, a coreless armature is formed by arranging n (n is an integer of 2 or more) air-core type armature coil groups at a position facing the field magnet along the moving direction of the moving element. A linear DC brushless motor in which a magnetic pole discriminating element is provided on the coreless armature side, and one of the field magnet or the coreless armature having the magnetic pole discriminating element is a moving body for relative movement and the other is a stator This is achieved by providing a linear DC brushless motor that satisfies the components.

Component: The armature coil is formed such that the length in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mover is substantially equal to the length in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mover of the field magnet. .

Component: The armature coil has a corner portion of the armature coil which intersects with each other at a conductor extension position in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mover and a conductor extension position in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the mover. It should be formed in an air-core shape so as to have a space for disposing the magnetic pole discriminating element so as not to overlap the armature coil at the outer peripheral position.

Component: An armature coil where the conductor part of the armature coil that contributes to the generation of thrust in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mover and the conductor part parallel to the moving direction of the mover do not overlap. The magnetic pole discriminator is arranged in the space for arranging the magnetic pole discriminator around the corner of the armature coil so as not to overlap the armature coil.

Another problem is the armature coil that crosses the armature coil at the conductor extension position in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the mover and the conductor extension position in the direction parallel to the moving direction of the mover. Forming an elliptical air-core type in a plane so that there can be a space for arranging the magnetic pole discriminator so as not to overlap the armature coil at the outer peripheral position of the corner portion. Is achieved in.

[Embodiment of the Invention] FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a main part of a multi-pole / multi-phase movable magnet type linear DC brushless motor LDM-3 showing one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a field magnet 6 The development view of 'and the coreless stator armature 4'is shown.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a movable magnet type linear DC brushless motor LDM-3 includes a long plate-shaped stator base 14 with studs 15 and a long plate-shaped stator yoke made of a magnetic material on an upper portion thereof. 16 are disposed and fixed, and a space for incorporating a control circuit is formed between the lower surface of the stator yoke 16 and the stator base 14. Reference numeral 29 indicates a lead wire connected to a control circuit (not shown) built in the control circuit built-in space.

A printed wiring board 17 is provided on the upper surface of the stator yoke 16, and armature coil 1'groups and magnetic pole conversion elements 3 are provided at positions to be described later.

A linear guide protrusion 18 having a triangular cross-section protruding outward is integrally formed on the side surface of the stator yoke 16, and a linear guide is provided by a guide roller (not shown) attached to a moving body (not shown). I am configuring. On the upper surface of the printed wiring board 17, a moving element 19
6 air-core type armature coils 1'- along the moving direction of
1,1'-2,1'-3,1'-4,1'-5,1'-6 are closely arranged so as not to overlap each other to form a coreless stator armature 4'having a coreless structure. are doing.

Explaining the armature coil 1 ', this armature coil 1'is formed such that the width in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element 19 is substantially L width, and the same field magnet as shown in FIG. The magnet 6'is of an air-core type having a width substantially equal to the length L of the width of the magnet 19 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element 19. Moreover, the armature coil 1 ′ has a conductor portion extending in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element 19 in a direction substantially parallel to the center line of the conductor portion 1 ′ a or ′ b. A magnetic pole discriminating element arranging space 20 can be arranged at a position where the center line of the center 1'c intersects so as not to overlap with the armature coil 1 '. It is formed by winding a large number of turns using a conductive wire so that it becomes an elliptical air-core type in a plane that can be provided at the corner portion of the '.

The armature coil 1'has a central reciprocating center line of the effective conductor portion 1'a and a portion 1'b which contributes to the generation of thrust so that the linear reciprocating energization method with good efficiency and performance can be adopted. When the opening angle with the center line in the middle is approximately T, the width of one magnetic pole in the running direction of the field magnet 6 ',
The winding is formed to have an opening angle of approximately one magnetic pole width T.

In the armature coil 1 ', the conductor portions 1'c, 1'd parallel to the moving direction of the mover 19 are conductor portions that do not contribute much to the generation of thrust.

A conductor portion 1'that contributes to the generation of thrust in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element 19 of the armature coils 1'-1, 1'-2, 1'-3.
The electric machine which does not overlap with the armature coil 1'at a position where the substantially center line of a and the substantially center line of the conductor portion 1'c in the direction parallel to the moving direction of the mover 19 intersect at the extended position. Do not overlap the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 with the armature coil 1'on the surface of the printed wiring board 17 in the space 20 for disposing the magnetic pole discriminating element on the outer periphery of the corner of the child coil 1 '. It is installed in. Also, armature coil 1'-4,
1'-5, 1'-6 of the center of the conductor portion 1'b which contributes to the generation of thrust in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element 19 and the direction parallel to the moving direction of the moving element 19. The space 21 for arranging the magnetic pole discriminating element on the outer periphery of the corner of the armature coil 1'that does not overlap with the armature coil 1'at a position where the center line of the conductor portion 1'c intersects at its extended position. The magnetic pole discrimination element 3-4,3-5,3 on the surface of the printed wiring board 17
-6 is arranged so as not to overlap the armature coil 1 '.

By arranging the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1, ..., 3-6 at the above-mentioned positions, the armature coil 1 ′ having a width of a substantially L width in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving element 19. Is almost equal to
Even if a field magnet 6'having a substantially length L of a width perpendicular to the direction of movement of is arranged so as to move relative to the coreless stator armature 4'consisting of the armature coil 1'group. Since the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1, ..., 3-6 are arranged at positions facing the field magnet 6'through a gap, the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1, ... Since the magnetic flux of the magnetic pole can be detected, accurate position detection can be performed.

Further, the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1 to 3-6 are located at the above-described position where the center line of the center of the effective conductor inside the armature coils 1'-1 to 1'-6 is extended with the center line 21 as a boundary. It is installed in.

The reason for arranging the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1 to 3-6 in this way will be described below.

If all of the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1 to 3-6 are connected to the center line of the conductor portion 1'a or 1'b which contributes to the generation of one thrust of the armature coils 1'-1 to 1'-6. This is because, when the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1 to 3-6 are arranged at the above-mentioned positions, a large thrust may not be obtained when the magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1 to 3-6 are arranged at the above-mentioned positions.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the field magnet 6'is in the position 6 ", the field magnet 6" faces the armature coils 1'-6,1'-5,1'-4. ing.

In this state, the armature coils 1'-5, 1'-4 are in a state of contributing to the generation of thrust, but the armature coils 1'-6
At, the thrust cannot be generated according to Fleming's left-hand rule. The thrust at this time is generated mainly by the effective conductor portions 1'a and 1'b which contribute to the generation of a total of four thrusts by the armature coils 1'-5, 1'-4.

Next, when the field magnet 6'moves in the direction of arrow A and moves to the position indicated by reference numeral 6, the armature coil 1'-6,
1'-5, 1'-4, 1'-3 are opposed to the field magnet 6 and contribute to the generation of two thrusts of the armature coils 1'-5 and 1'-4. In addition to the thrust generated by'a and 1'b, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-3 for the armature coil 1'-3 also detects the magnetic pole of the S pole of the field magnet 6, so that the armature coil 1'- Thrust is also generated by the effective conductor portion 1 ′ b that contributes to the thrust generation of No. 3.

However, when the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-6 for the armature coil 1'-6 is arranged at the position indicated by reference numeral 3'-6, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3'-6 is N of the field magnet 6. Since the magnetic pole of the pole is not detected, the armature coil 1 '
Even if −6 faces the field magnet 6, thrust cannot be generated.

That is, it is possible to obtain only the thrust force of the effective conductor portions 1'a and 1'b that contribute to the generation of the thrust force of five in total.

However, when the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-6 for the armature coil 1'-6 is arranged at the position as in the present invention, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-6 is the magnetic pole of the N pole of the field magnet 6. Is detected, the thrust can be generated also by the effective conductor portion 1'a that is opposed to the field magnet 6 of the armature coil 1'-6 and contributes to the generation of the thrust.

That is, a large thrust can be obtained by the effective conductor portions 1'a and 1'b that contribute to the generation of a total of six thrusts.

Further, when the field magnet 6'moves in the direction of arrow A and moves to the position indicated by the reference numeral 6 ', the magnetic pole discriminating element is indicated by the reference numeral 3'-5 or 3-5, 3'-4 or 3'-4. Even if they are arranged at the positions, the thrust is the same, and the size of the effective conductors 1'a and 1'b that contribute to the generation of a total of four thrusts of the armature coils 1'-4 and 1'-3. Only thrust can be obtained.

Here, when the field magnet 6'moves further in the direction of the arrow A and moves to the position indicated by the reference numeral 6 ', the armature coils 1'-5,1'-4,1'-3,1'-2 move the field. Magnetic magnet 6
′, Facing the armature coils 1′-4 and 1′-3
Effective conductors 1'a and 1'that contribute to the generation of the two thrusts of
In addition to the thrust generated by b, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-2 for the armature coil 1'-2 also has the S of the field magnet 6 '.
Since the magnetic poles of the poles are detected, the thrust is also generated by the effective conductor portion 1'a that contributes to the generation of the thrust of the armature coil 1'-2.

However, when the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-5 for the armature coil 1'-5 is arranged at the position indicated by reference numeral 3'-5, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3'-5 is arranged in the field magnet 6 '. Since the magnetic pole of N pole is not detected, thrust cannot be generated even if the armature coil 1'-5 faces the field magnet 6 '.

That is, it is possible to obtain only the thrust force of the effective conductor portions 1'a and 1'b that contribute to the generation of the thrust force of five in total.

However, when the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-5 for the armature coil 1'-5 is disposed at the position as in the present invention, the magnetic pole discriminating element 3-5 is N of the field magnet 6 '.
Since the magnetic poles of the poles are being detected, the thrust is also generated by the effective conductor portion 1'a that contributes to the generation of the thrust facing the field magnet 6'of the armature coil 1'-5. You can

That is, a large thrust can be obtained by the effective conductor portions 1'a and 1'b that contribute to the generation of a total of six thrusts.

The above means that the field magnet 6'is the armature coil 1 '.
The same can be considered when moving in the direction opposite to the arrow A from the state of facing -1.

As is clear from the above, the magnetic pole discrimination elements 3-1 to 3-6
Since a large thrust can be generated depending on the arrangement of the three armature coils, each of the six armature coils 1'-1 to 1'-6 is three, that is, the three armature coils 1'-1 to 1'-1. 1 '
-3 and the three armature coils 1'-4 to 1'-6 are divided by the center line 21 divided into two, and three armature coils 1'-1
The magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-1 to 3-3 for 1 to 3'-3 are arranged at the above-mentioned positions where the conductor portion 1'b which contributes to the generation of thrust near the center line 21 is extended. Magnetic pole discriminating elements 3-4 for three armature coils 1'-4 to 1'-6
3-6 is arranged at the above-mentioned position where the conductor portion 1'a that contributes to the generation of thrust near the center line 21 is extended.

At both ends of the stator yoke 18, projections 22 for preventing escape of the mover 19 projecting upward are provided, and a cushioning member 23 such as a rubber member is provided inside the protrusions 22 to prevent the mover 19 from being accidentally derailed. I try to soften the impact of a runaway.

A linear magnetic slider 24 is fixed to a moving body (not shown) of the moving body 19 by an appropriate means so that the moving body 19 and the moving body 19 travel linearly. On a side surface of the linear magnetic slider 24 facing the magnetic sensor 26 of the slider base 25, a linear magnetic encoder magnetic pole formed by magnetizing N-pole and S-pole magnetic poles with a fine pitch [eg, about 50 μm].
27 is provided, a linear magnetic encoder 28 is formed by the linear magnetic encoder magnetic pole 27 and the magnetic sensor 26, and the linear magnetic encoder magnetic pole 27 is produced by the magnetic resistance element of the magnetic sensor 26. The speed and moving position are detected.

[Advantage of the Invention] Therefore, in the linear DC brushless motor LDM-3, a control signal for moving the mover 19 to a predetermined position at a predetermined speed by a signal from a microcomputer (not shown) is energized (not shown). The magnetic pole discriminating element 3 added to the control circuit and arranged on the coreless stator armature 4'side is the N pole or S pole of the field magnet 6 '.
When the magnetic poles of the poles are detected, the detection output signal causes a current in a predetermined direction to flow through the armature coil 1'group through the driver, so that the armature coil 1'group and the field magnet 6'opposite this group. A thrust force in a predetermined direction that conforms to Fleming's left-hand rule is generated, and the speed and position of the mover 19 are found from the signal detected by the magnetic sensor 26 of the linear magnetic encoder magnetic pole 27, and this detection signal is the energization control circuit. Is fed back to the moving element 19 and the moving element 19 is controlled by a feedback loop to perform servo travel and the like.
The guide roller (not shown) makes linear running while slidingly contacting the linear guide protrusion 18.

[Advantages of the Invention] As is apparent from the above, the present invention provides that even if the magnetic pole discriminating element is arranged at a position facing the center line of the center of the conductor portion of the armature coil where thrust is generated as in the conventional case. ，
Since the armature coil conductor portion, which does not contribute much to the thrust, does not have the armature coil conductor portion, the magnetic pole discrimination element can be arranged at the same position as in the conventional case, and a smooth thrust ripple can be obtained. Moreover, even if the magnetic pole discrimination element is arranged at such a position, the magnetic pole discrimination element can be arranged so as not to overlap with the armature coil, so that the magnetic pole discrimination element can be extremely easily arranged. Easy and inexpensive to manufacture a linear DC brushless motor. Even if the width of the field magnet in the direction orthogonal to the mover is the same as the width of the armature coil in the direction orthogonal to the mover, the magnetic gap between the field magnet and the stator armature-side stator yoke is not reduced. Of the field magnet, and the width in the direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the moving element of the field magnet is not unnecessarily lengthened, so that the cost can be reduced and the thrust can be improved.
Also, since the armature coil is formed in an elliptical shape in a plane, it has an extremely easy winding shape.
There are few defective armature coils, so a linear DC brushless motor can be formed.

Although the movable magnet type linear DC brushless motor in which the field magnet side is used as the moving element has been described in the embodiment, the armature coil and the magnetic pole discriminating element are arranged on the moving side, and the fixed side facing each other. It goes without saying that a movable coreless armature-type linear DC brushless motor having a field magnet fixedly arranged therein may be used. Further, as the linear encoder, an appropriate one may be used, a rotary encoder may be used, and an example in which the magnetic pole side of the linear magnetic encoder is moved together with the mover has been shown. It may be arranged so that the magnetic sensor moves together with the moving element. The number of magnetic poles of the field magnet and the number of armature coils are not limited to those in the above embodiment, and the magnetic poles of the field magnet do not have to be in close contact with each other, and the armature coil groups are arranged separately. It goes without saying that you can do it.
