Abstract
A linear transfer device for converting rotational motion of an electric motor into linear to-and-fro motion along a threaded rod. Said device comprises and electric motor, said motor comprising an axle, said axle comprising a hollow core, said hollow core being at least partly tapped such that a threaded rod, of matching thread, penetrates the axle core and extends beyond the axle in both directions. Said threaded rod engages said tap of said tapped axle in a screw-and-nut method. Said electric motor is fixedly secured.
Said threaded rod is restricted from rotating but is allowed to travel in a linear path through the tapped axle core. When said motor is energized, said tapped axle rotates causing said threaded rod to travel though said tapped axle in a linear path. For a curved threaded rod, clearance openings will precede and succeed the tap of said axle core to prevent jamming.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a device for converting rotational motion of an electric motor into linear motion along a path. Said device relates to a nut and screw method of operation, the nut being a threaded rod (or a lead screw) and the nut being a hollow tapped axle of an electric motor. Energization of the electric motor causes rotation of the tapped axle to generate movement of said threaded rod through said tapped axle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention pertains generally to linear transfer devices. More specifically the invention relates to a device for converting rotational motion generated by an electric motor about its inner axle into linear motion along a threaded rod.
The device comprises and electric motor, said motor comprising an axle, said axle comprising a hollow core, said hollow core being at least partly tapped such that a threaded rod, of matching thread, penetrates the axle core and extends beyond the axle in both directions.
For applications where said threaded rod is curved, the tapped axle core includes a clearance hole at either or both ends of said tapped axle such that said threaded rod will extend the full length of said tapped axle, and engage the tap of said axle, without said threaded rod jamming into said axle core walls.
Said electric motor is generally mounted into a fixed position (in some applications said motor is allowed to tilt). Said threaded rod is secured at one or both ends to a connector or the object to be transferred. Said threaded rod is restricted from rotating about its own axis but said threaded rod is allowed to move in a linear path through said tapped axle of said motor. The primary advantage of said device is in the direct drive mechanism which is the axle acting directly on the threaded rod, said tap and thread acting as a direct gear.
Conventional devices rely on a motor axle acting on a worm-gear to generate rotational motion of a reduction gear which then acts on an external member such as a sector, a sprocket, a Bowden cable system or other to generate motion in a linear path.
The invention possesses numerous advantages over know linear transfer devices.
The invention is a direct drive device where the rotating motor axle acts directly on the threaded rod without relying on a reduction gear or worm gear. Current invention requires fewer parts, fewer assemblies, lower tooling cost, lower manufacturing costs, lower product weight, lower product packaging constraints, accelerated design time, and lower product cost.
DESCRIPTION OF PRIOR ART
It is known in the prior act to provide a linear transfer device comprising a threaded rod and engaging said threaded rod indirectly with an electric motor to generate window movement along the threaded rod.
US patent number 5,012,613 to Shuji Sekine on May 7, 1991, uses a permanently fixed electric motor and a vertically secured threaded rod, including a rail system and a method of linking the motor to act on the driving nut along the lead screw.
US Patent Number 3,014,715 to Jack E. Martens on December 26, 1961, uses an electric motor in a fixed horizontal position to rotate a vertically mounted straight threaded rod, said rotation of the rod causes a screw and window to ascend and descend the height of the threaded rod.
US Patent Number 2,649,300 to James M. Launder on August 18, 1953, uses an electric motor and a sleeve comprising a screw, and said motor is coupled to said sleeve by a reduction gear and both motor and sleeve (and window) travel along a curved threaded rod in both directions.
US patent Number 2,311,972 to Emory Glenn Simpson on February 23, 1943, uses an electric motor, a gearing mechanism external to the threaded rod, a screw-type member acted on by the gearing mechanism, and a jack-screw mechanism for lifting and lowering the vehicle window.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention pertains to a linear transfer device including a threaded rod and an electric motor comprising a rotating axle, said axle comprising a hollow core, said hollow core being at least partly tapped such that the threaded rod penetrates the full length of the inside of the tapped axle and the thread of the threaded rod engages the tap of the tapped axle, and said rod extends beyond both ends of the tapped axle core.
Said tapped axle motor is fixedly secured into position (allowed to pivot in some applications).
Method of engagement between the threaded rod and the tapped axle of the electric motor is similar to that of a nut and screw, the nut being the tapped axle and the screw being the threaded rod.
The threaded rod extends through a straight path, or a radius of curvature, or both. The object to be moved is mounted either directly to one or both, ends of the threaded rod, or by a connecting member secured to either or both ends of said threaded rod.
Said tapped axle includes a clearance hole at either or both ends of said tapped core for allowing a curved threaded rod to penetrate said axle core and engage the tap of said axle core without said curved threaded rod jamming into the core walls of said axle core.
As the electric motor is energized, the tapped axle spins and the tap of said tapped axle engages the thread of said threaded rod causing linear movement of said threaded through the tapped axle. Direction of rotation of the tapped axle will determine the direction of travel of said threaded rod.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Fig-1 illustrates a conventional (brush-type) electric motor 1, including a rotating inner axle 2, a stator 3, wiring 4, armature 5, permanent magnet 6 and motor housing 7.
Fig-2 illustrates the general design of the tapped axle motor 8. Said tapped axle motor 8 comprises tapped axle 10. Said tapped axle 10 comprises a hollow axle core 12 extending the full length of the motor axle 2. Said hollow axle core 12 comprises a tap 11 and said tap 11 extends at least partly along the length of the tapped axle 10. A
threaded rod 9 enters said tapped axle 10 at one end, said threaded rod 9 extends the full length of the tapped axle 10 and said threaded rod 9 exits and extends beyond the other end of the tapped axle 10. Said threaded rod 9 engages the tap 11 of the tapped axle 10 in a screw-and-nut method, the threaded rod 9 acting as the screw and the tapped axle 10 acting as the nut.
Fig-3 illustrates the cross section of Fig-2 along line AA of the tapped axle motor 8, including the tap 11 of the hollow axle core 12, through which the threaded rod 9 passes.
Radially disposed bushings 13 at each end of the tapped axle 10 are positioned between said tapped axle 10 and the motor housing 7. Said threaded rod 9 comprises an end-member 14 at one or both ends of said threaded rod 9, and said end-member 14 prevents rotation of the threaded rod 9 while allowing linear movement of said threaded rod 9 through the tapped axle 10 in both directions.
Fig-4 is a cross section of said tapped axle motor 8 for use with a curved threaded rod 19.
The tapped axle 10 comprises a tap diameter 15, a tap length 16 along which said curved threaded rod 19 engages said tapped axle 10, and clearance openings of clearance length 17 and clearance diameter 18 exist at each end of the tapped axle 10. Said clearance holes ensure that the curved threaded rod 19 engages the tap 11 of the tapped axle 10 without said curved threaded rod 19 jamming into the axle-core walls 12.
Fig-5 further illustrates a curved threaded rod 19 engaging a tapped axle motor 8, including the tapped axle's axis of rotation 23 and the curved threaded rod's curvature 24.
Note the deviation from a straight path 25 between the tapped axle's axis of rotation 23 and the curved threaded rod's curvature 24. Included in the drawing is the end-wall 20 of the tapped-axle motor 8 and the can-member 22. A mounting member 21 secures the tapped-axle motor 8 into a fixed position and prevents said tapped-axle motor 8 from rotating during motor operation. Clearance holes of Fig-4 are intended to compensate for said deviation 25 and prevent the curved threaded rod 19 from jamming into the axle-core walls 12.
The operation of said device is as follows (refer to Fig-5 ): Said tapped-axle motor 8 is secured into place by mounting member 21. During tapped-axle motor 8 operation the tapped axle 10 rotates. The threaded rod (straight or curved rod) 9 or 19 is prevented from rotating by connecting member 14, however said threaded 9 or 19 rod is allowed to move in a linear path through the tapped-axle 10. During motor operation said threaded rod 9 or 19, and said connecting member 14, travel through said tapped-axle motor 8 in a to-and-fro motion depending on the direction of spin of said tapped-axle 10.
Fig-6 illustrates the cross section of a tapped-axle motor 8 engaged by a curved threaded rod 19. Said curved threaded rod 19 is fitted at one or both ends with a connecting member 14.
Fig-7 illustrates the cross section of a tapped-axle motor 8 engaged by a straight threaded rod 9. Said straight threaded rod 9 is fitted at one or both ends with a connecting member 14.
Fig-8 illustrates the cross sections of: a round threaded rod with a solid core 9, a round threaded rod with one flat side 25, a round threaded rod with two flat sides 26, and a round threaded rod with a hollow core 27. Said rod cross-sections of threaded rods will vary with application.
Fig-9 illustrates variations in threaded rod design including a curved threaded rod 19, a straight threaded rod 9, a partly threaded rod 28, and a rod threaded at the center 29.
The tapped-axle motor may be secured into position using a pivot joint 30 as in Fig-10.
Said pivot-joint 30 is secured to the tapped-axle motor 8 as in Fig-10.
Figures 12 to 22 illustrate various automotive applications of said linear transfer device.
Figures 12 and 13 illustrate a back door vehicle window regulator including a vehicle window 32, a threaded rod 9, a connector 14 connecting said window 32 to said threaded rod 9, and said tapped-axle motor 8. The tapped axle motor 8 is positioned in the general center of the vehicle door 31. The travel in the back window is generally restricted to half way, thus the threaded rod 9 must be long enough for sufficient travel but short enough not to bottom-out in the vehicle door 31.
Fig-14 illustrates a power antenna 33 using said linear transfer device. Said tapped axle motor 8 drives a threaded rod 9 in an upward and downward direction thus raising and lowering the antenna 33. The threaded rod 9 is flexible (plastic) and is connected at one end to the antenna 33. During motor operation the threaded rod 9 winds and unwinds in the spiral drum 34.
Fig-15 and 16 illustrate a power head-rest 35 using said linear transfer device. A
connector 14 is attached to the end of the threaded rod 9 and said connector 14 extends through a guide 36. As the tapped-axle motor is energized, the threaded rod 9 moves up and down adjusting said neck-rest position. Fig-15 illustrates the neck-rest in the down position and Fig-16 illustrates the neck-rest in the up position.
Fig-17 and 18 illustrate vehicle pop-up headlights 37 using said linear transfer device. Fig-17 illustrates a tapped-axle motor 8 engaged by a curved threaded rod 19 to move a vehicle pop-up headlight 37 between an UP position to a DOWN position (Fig-18).
Fig-19 and Fig-20 illustrate a headlight rotating device using said linear transfer device.
Said tapped-axle motor 8 is engaged by a rod threaded at the center 29 and said rod is connected at each end to a pivoting headlight unit 39. Movement of the rod 29 causes rotation of the pivoting headlight unit 39 and thus shifting the direction of the light beam 40.
Fig-21 and Fig-22 illustrate vehicle windshield wiping unit using said linear transfer device.
Said tapped-axle motor 8 is engaged by a rod threaded at the center 29 and said rod is connected at each end to a connector 14 engaged around a pivoting point 42.
Movement of the rod 29 causes rotation about the pivoting point 42 thus moving the wipers 41 as in Fig-22.
Fig-23 illustrates the use of said linear transfer device as an electric-power steering unit and a shock-absorption system. Said power steering unit uses a tapped axle motor 8A, said motor engaged by a rod threaded at the center 29, said rod 29 connected at each end to a steering rod 44. Said power shock absorption unit is connected to a shock absorber 43. The tapped axle motor 8B activates to engage the shock member 43 to raise or lower the pressure in said shock absorber 43 to cushion disturbances in the road.
Fig-24 illustrates said linear transfer device comprising a guiding rail for applications requiring sturdy guiding. A guiding member such as a rail 45 (or rod or other) extends along the path of travel of said threaded rod 9 at least in one direction relative to the exit path from said tapped axle of said tapped axle motor 8. Said rail 45 is fixedly secured into position (by securing member 47). A sliding member 46 is attached to at least one end of said threaded rod 9 and said sliding unit 46 is slidingly engaged with said guiding rail 45.
Said sliding member 46 is pushed/pulled along said rail 45 by said threaded rod 8. The object to be transferred 48 is attached to said sliding member 46.
The invention relates to a device for converting rotational motion of an electric motor into linear motion along a path. Said device relates to a nut and screw method of operation, the nut being a threaded rod (or a lead screw) and the nut being a hollow tapped axle of an electric motor. Energization of the electric motor causes rotation of the tapped axle to generate movement of said threaded rod through said tapped axle.
