The schematic block diagram of Figure 21 shows the configuration of driver 118.
Driver 118 comprises direction COMM communication 134, its direction instruction signal switched voltage polarity by drawing according to slave controller 120, with the sense of rotation of rotary driving source 14 switch to forward direction and back in any one; And current amplifier/limiter 136, it will become corresponding electric current from the voltage transitions of direction COMM communication 134 outputs, and with reference to default reference current I MAX(threshold value) limits this electric current.
Driver 118 also comprises current sensor (current sensing means) 138, and it is provided at the downstream side of current amplifier/limiter 136, and detects the electric current that will offer rotary driving source 14; And current loop 140, it will feed back to the party upstream of current amplifier/limiter 136 from the testing signal of current sensor 138.
Current amplifier/limiter 136 has comparer, and it will be stored in the default reference current I in the storage device MAXWith compare from the testing signal of current sensor 138 detected current values via detection line 145; And current limiting device (current-limiting apparatus), its restriction will be provided to the electric current of rotary driving source 14, is applied to rotary driving source 14 and expects that the electric current that will be provided to rotary driving source 14 can surpass reference current I with convenient high capacity MAXThe time, electric current is no more than reference current I MAX
Driver 118 has unshowned circuit board.For example, current sensor 138 preferably is made of the small resistor that is arranged on the circuit board.
Actuator control system 10 constitutes basically in a manner described according to an embodiment of the invention.Next its operation, function and effect will be described.
At first, direction instruction signal (binary signal) is incorporated into driver 118 by slave controller 120.Driver 118 is based on direction instruction signal switched voltage polarity.Thereby the sense of rotation of rotary driving source 14 be switched to forward direction and the back in any one.Be imported into current amplifier/limiter 136 corresponding to the voltage that is provided to the electric current of rotary driving source 14 from direction COMM communication 134.
Current amplifier/limiter 136 will be corresponding electric current from the voltage transitions of direction COMM communication 134 outputs, and this electric current is provided to rotary driving source 14.Thereby rotary driving source 14 is driven and in predetermined direction rotation, and the rotary driving force of rotary driving source 14 is coupled member 28 and is delivered to feed screw axle 18.
Xuan Zhuan feed screw axle 18 is screwed in the spiral hole 50 of the sliding nut 52 that serves as feed nut in a predetermined direction.Thereby, sliding nut 52 and piston 22 with by this piston rod 24 displacement vertically integratedly that guide rod 20a, 20b are guided.Therefore, piston rod 24 and piston 22 are integratedly towards external displacement, and arrival stroke end points.Thereby piston rod 24 is pushed the unshowned workpiece (work mounting s operation) that is positioned at the pre-position.
As shown in Figure 8, when piston 22 does not arrive a stroke end points or another stroke end points, and the operation of pushing workpiece W be betwixt neutral position place carry out the time, then impact via socket 26 and be passed to piston 22, wherein socket 26 and workpiece W, piston rod 24 and connector element 60 adjacency.
In the case, as shown in Figure 9, the end portion of the piston vibration damper 56a that contacts with connector element 60 is received thereby impact in an embodiment of the present invention by elastic strain.In addition, the sliding nut 52 that provides in piston 22 is with respect to axially slightly slide (referring to two chain line Fig. 9 shown in) of piston 22 along feed screw axle 18.Suitably absorbed thereby impact.
In other words, provide the piston 22 and the connector element 60 that are connected with each other, they can be in response to the impact that is applied to piston rod 24 in the axial displacement of feed screw axle 18.The slight displacement of piston 22 and connector element 60 is absorbed by piston vibration damper 56a, and this piston vibration damper 56a has elasticity and is installed to the end of sliding nut 52.Suitably absorbed thereby impact.
In this case, sliding nut 52 is not with respect to 18 displacements of feed screw axle, and this is because sliding nut 52 has been screwed onto on the feed screw axle 18.In addition, prevented to impact the helical toothing part that is passed to sliding nut 52 and feed screw axle 18.Thereby, can suitably protect the helical toothing part of sliding nut 52 and feed screw axle 18.
Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, even by being pressed in two places, neutral position between the midstroke, the impact that is applied to piston rod 24 is also absorbed by the slide relative displacement between piston 22 and sliding nut 52 and the elastic piston vibration damper 56a workpiece W smoothly by piston rod 24.Therefore, can avoid the deterioration of the serviceability of electric actuator 11.
In addition, when the stroke end points place at the forwarding end points place of piston rod 24 produces when impacting, impact is more suitably absorbed, and this is because the buffer function of piston vibration damper 56a and by the synergy (referring to Figure 10) of the buffer function that adjacency produced of the annular flange portion 66 of connector element 60 and the second terminal vibration damper 36b.
Similarly, when the stroke end points place at the reverse end points place of piston rod 24 produces when impacting, impact is more suitably absorbed, and this is because the buffer function of piston vibration damper 56a and by the synergy (referring to Fig. 3) of the buffer function that adjacency produced of the end face of annular construction member 68 and the piston 22 and the first terminal vibration damper 36a.
As mentioned above, in an embodiment of the present invention, provide damping mechanism, the first and second terminal vibration damper 36a, 36b and bar outer cover 16 that this mechanism is included as pair of pistons vibration damper 56a, 56b that piston 22 provides, provides for shell 12.Thereby,, can suitably cushion the impact that is applied on the piston 22 in any position that comprises the neutral position between stroke end points and the two stroke end points.
In an embodiment of the present invention, even there be not pressurized air maybe can not use under the compressed-air actuated situation, electric actuator also can be used as can with the mode identical with inflator use by electric motor driven actuator.
In this case, the meaning of " in the mode identical with inflator " this phrase for example is meant that electric actuator is to control according to ON/OFF to drive, do not need controller, can push piston 22, electric actuator even can under situation, be driven without any sensor, and can control rate and thrust.
In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, predetermined rigidity guaranteed directed parallel bar 20a, 20b by this, and need not rigid body.Thereby, reduced number of parts, reduce cost of production, and can realize lighter weight.
In addition, vibration energy adsorber or impact energy adsorber (vibration damper) generally are arranged at the position of collision place in the drive unit.But, in an embodiment of the present invention, when the impact value when attribute, size and the displacement amount of vibration damper are set to collide is no more than 5G, and when preferably being no more than 2G, then can improve the serviceability of vibration damper, thereby also improve the serviceability of electric actuator.Can reduce the intensity of each part by suppressing impact value, thereby can reduce device size and weight.
For the method for production shell 12 and bar outer cover 16, preferred use is for example based on aluminum dipping form casting, compressing tablet metal deep draw and the global formation of integrally formed band stake corrosion resistant plate by using the stake a plurality of corrosion resistant plates of support.
For feed screw axle 18, slip screw axle, the slip screw axle that is made of metal, the spherical spiral axle that preferred use for example is formed from a resin or hang on timing tape between coaster.
When after piston 22 and piston rod 24 arrives the stroke end points, by being pressed in pre-position and high capacity when being applied to rotary driving source 14, applying of the live axle of rotary driving source 14 is stopped workpiece W, to provide constrained state by piston rod 24.In the case, the torque of exporting from the live axle of rotary driving source 14 is directly proportional with the electric current that is applied to rotary driving source 14.Therefore, in constrained state, the electric current (excess current) that surpasses previous predetermined electric current value is applied to rotary driving source 14.When producing excess current, rotary driving source 14 may undesirably burn.
Thereby, in an embodiment of the present invention, be fed back to the party upstream of current amplifier/limiter 136 via current loop 140 from the testing signal that is used to detect the electric current that offers rotary driving source 14 of current sensor 138.Current amplifier/limiter 136 will be stored in default reference current I in the storage device by comparer MAXCompare with the testing signal that provides from current sensor 138.In addition, the electric current that offer rotary driving source 14 is limited by current limiting device, so that electric current is no more than reference current I MAX(referring to Figure 22).
For example be limited in the constrained state that the live axle at rotary driving source 14 is stopped at the current value that control is used during rotary driving source 14 and be not more than 0.6A, and during non-loaded driving, be not more than 0.2A.Thereby rotary driving source 14 can have long working life.
As mentioned above, under the situation of the driver 118 of embodiments of the invention, the current value that is provided to rotary driving source 14 is monitored by current sensor 138, and current amplifier/limiter 136 electric current of being used to be provided to rotary driving source 14 is restricted to and is not more than reference current I MAX
Thereby even under the live axle that high capacity is applied to rotary driving source 14 and is in the rotary driving source 14 in the ON state is stopped with the situation that provides constrained state, the electric current that is provided to rotary driving source 14 is restricted to and is not more than default reference current I MAXTherefore, can prevent that rotary driving source 14 from being burnt by excess current.The electric current that is provided to rotary driving source 14 by restriction must torque-limiting.
In an embodiment of the present invention, running speed and the position of needn't provide encoder, coming control piston 22 and piston rod 24 such as the such decoder of solver and control circuit.By utilizing ball bearing made using can prevent that rotary driving source 14 from burning.Thereby can reduce production costs.
In this configuration, preferably driver 118 is applied to drive unit (electric actuator), wherein has only the effect of pushing of piston rod 24 and the sense of rotation of rotary driving source 14 to be controlled.
For the driver 118 of embodiments of the invention, the effect of pushing based on 24 couples of workpiece W of piston rod of electric actuator 11 is illustrated.But be not limited to this.The present invention is used for certainly that piston rod 24 by electric actuator 11 transmits, clogs, promotion and supporting workpiece, can be used in addition coming holding workpiece by unshowned electric chuck, and vises workpiece by unshowned electronic clamp.
Promptly ought be for example make high capacity be applied to rotary driving source 14 by transmission, clamping or the effect of vising workpiece, and the rotation of the live axle of rotary driving source 14 is stopped when providing constrained state, the electric current that is provided to rotary driving source 14 is limited, so that electric current is not more than reference current I MAX

Planetary gears 214 comprises and input shaft 226 integrally formed single sun gears 216; A plurality of planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c, 216 engagements of these planetary pinions and single sun gear, apart about 120 degree angles on the circumferencial direction of sun gear 216 simultaneously, and revolve round the sun (revolution) and rotate (rotation); Internal gear 220; And carrier 222.A plurality of planetary numbers are not limited to three, and can be two or more.
Carrier 222 has column and loses diameter interior section 223, and the output shaft 228 that stretches out towards shell 212b of part 223 internally.Sun gear 216 is inserted in the interior section 223, and towards its inside.For interior section 223 has formed a plurality of windows 221, these windows equal 120 degree angles that are separated by separately from each other.Planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c are towards each window 221.
Planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c are by latch 224 and suppressed by vector 222 supports.Shown in Figure 38 and 39, latch 224 has cut- out 229a, 229b, and these cut-outs form by excising its part excircle.Spacing 225a, 225b are provided between planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and the latch 224 by cut-out 229a, 229b.225a, 225b for example have been filled oil or grease at interval.Oil or grease preferably have high viscosity.
Major diameter internal gear 220 meshes with the outer circumferential sides of planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c, the internal gear teeth engagement on the inner circumference of internal gear 220 of planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and engraving.Be connected to the rotating driveshaft of unshowned rotary driving source via the coupling component (not shown) with sun gear 216 integrally formed input shafts 226.In this configuration, as shown in figure 36, input shaft 226 and output shaft 228 are provided by coaxial.
Sun gear 216, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and internal gear 220 are made of Screwed gear respectively, and these Screwed gears are formed by helical teeth.In this configuration, for example, have full-bodied oil or grease and be filled or be applied to place, slit between the interior section 223 of planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and carrier 222 and the place, slit between planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and the internal gear 220, with the acquisition viscous resistance.
In order to obtain viscous resistance effectively, the interval 227 between interior section 223 and planetary pinion 218a, 218b, the 218c preferably is not more than 0.1mm (referring to Figure 40).
The angle of torsion of each in the Screwed gear of sun gear 216, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and internal gear 220 (spirality is along the angle of inclination of screw thread) does not limit especially.But this angle of torsion preferably is about 30 ° to 40 °.Do not limit especially as the oil of being stained with property resistance component or the viscosity of grease or analog.But this viscosity preferably is about 10000 to 100000 (cSt) (0.01m 2/ s to 0.1m 2/ s).In addition, the viscous resistance of viscous resistance member also can change by shearing speed and by the width of above-mentioned spacing 227 and the viscosity of grease or analog.
Stretch out the tail end that also crooked a plurality of internal gears locking receiving part 230a to 230d, 213a to 231d are formed on column-shaped internal section gear 220.As shown in figure 50, internal gear locking receiving part 230a to 230d, 231a to 231d have outstanding shape, so that along the circumferential direction draw the curve corresponding to lock section 232a to 232d, 232a to 233d.Internal gear locking receiving part 230a to 230d, 23a to 231d and lock section 232a to 232d, 233a to 233d serve as the internal gear locking framework.
When the input shaft 226, internal gear 220 and the carrier 222 that form of structure is by device in a manner described, then input shaft 226 at first is inserted into holding among the shaft portion 234a of shell 212a, output shaft 228 is inserted among the bearing part 234b of shell 212b, and internal gear 220 is installed in the outside of carrier 222.Shell 212a and shell 212b are engaged with each other, so that the sun gear of input shaft 226 216 and planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c engagement are tightened then.Thereby planetary gears 214 is accommodated in (referring to Figure 37) among shell 212a, the 212b.
Next, will the operation of the first automatic reduction speed ratio COMM communication 210 be described.
At first, unshowned rotary driving source is energized, and the rotary driving force of rotary driving source is passed to sun gear 216 via input shaft 226.Suppose to point to from input shaft 226 direction (direction of the arrow Z shown in Figure 37) of output shaft 228, rotary driving force rotates input shaft 226 and sun gear 216 in the direction of the clock.
When the rotating force under the low load is passed to input shaft 226, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c revolve round the sun (by the direction indication of netted arrow, also illustrate similarly in below describing) rather than rotation, internal gear 220 also (indicate along the direction of arrow by the direction by thick arrow, also illustrate similarly in below describing) do revolution, and carrier 222 is also in the direction of the clock with integral way revolve round the sun (referring to Figure 42).This is because the viscous resistance member is used between sun gear 216, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c, interior section 223 and the internal gear 220, thereby stiction is applied by the viscous resistance of viscous resistance member.
Promptly, referring to Figure 42, when sun gear 216 during along the direction of arrow (, also illustrating similarly in below describing) rotation by the indication of the direction of hacures arrow, because low rotation is so stiction is applied by the viscous resistance member between interior section 223 and the internal gear 220.Therefore, interior section 223, internal gear 220, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and sun gear 216 rotate with integral way.
Then, when the load that surpasses default torque is applied to carrier 222 via output shaft 228, then sun gear 216 is rotated, thereby not revolving round the sun, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c, rotate (referring to Figure 43) and press counter clockwise direction with the internal gear 220 of planetary pinion 218 engagements by the counter clockwise direction opposite (direction of blank arrow) rotation with the direction of sun gear 216.When promptly the load that is applied to output shaft 228 when rotational speed reduces, also be lowered with the rotational speed of output shaft 228 integrally formed carriers 222.
But internal gear 220 tends to be rotated as its past.In other words, the rotational speed of internal gear 220 is higher than the rotational speed of carrier 222.Therefore, the viscous resistance between internal gear 220 and the carrier 222 has increased.Because viscous resistance increases as mentioned above, therefore the stripe direction along the gear teeth produces thrust, and internal gear 220 moves along the direction of arrow Z1 shown in Figure 44, this be because with its planet gear meshed 218a, 218b, 218c and internal gear 220 are spiral gears.
Thereby, internal gear locking receiving part 231b and lock section 233b engagement, internal gear locking receiving part 231c and lock section 233c engagement.Internal gear 220 is in the lock state, thereby can't move again.When internal gear 220 is in the lock state, then sun gear 216 is along hacures direction of arrow rotation shown in Figure 42, thereby planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c are with carrier 222 revolution (referring to Figure 45), simultaneously by rotation counterclockwise, with the transmission of torque of the rotational speed that will reduce and increase to output shaft 228.In the case, torque is with corresponding corresponding to the power of the gear ratio between planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and the internal gear 220.
Then, the rotation driving direction is inverted, to remove the lock state of internal gear 220.Be that sun gear 216 is transfused to axle 226 by rotation counterclockwise.Thereby, as shown in figure 46, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c with carrier 222 by revolution counterclockwise, simultaneously according to the rotation of sun gear 216 and rotation in the direction of the clock.
After sun gear 216 began by rotation counterclockwise, internal gear 220 was in the lock state immediately, i.e. halted state.Therefore, between carrier 222 and internal gear 220, appear at relative rotation number purpose difference, thereby the viscous resistance between internal gear 220 and the interior section 223 increases.Because the viscous resistance between internal gear 220 and the interior section 223 increases and planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and internal gear 220 are respectively spiral gears, therefore the stripe direction along the gear teeth of spiral formation on the cylinder surface of gear has produced thrust.
Thrust causes internal gear 220 along doing parallel shift in the opposite direction with Z1 side.Internal gear 220 rotates simultaneously in the direction of the clock along doing parallel shift in the opposite direction with Z1 side, and the internal gear locking receiving part 230 of internal gear 220 is separated with the lock section 232 of shell 212b, and internal gear 220 is disengaged lock state.
As mentioned above, when internal gear 220 is disengaged lock state, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c, internal gear 220 and carrier 222 are done revolution around sun gear 216 by counter clockwise direction with integral way according to sun gear 216 anticlockwise rotations (referring to Figure 47) once more, to return to initial position shown in Figure 41.
When promptly sun gear 216 is by the counter clockwise direction high speed rotating after internal gear 220 is disengaged lock state, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c revolve round the sun by counter clockwise direction under the situation that does not cause its rotation, and internal gear 220 is also by rotation counterclockwise.
Above-mentioned situation example shows the state that input shaft 226 and sun gear 216 rotate in the direction of the clock.But, when input shaft 226 and sun gear 216 when counterclockwise rotating, also obtain operation and effect identical or that be equal to.
Promptly, when input shaft 226 and sun gear 216 by rotation counterclockwise, and when the load that surpasses default torque under this state is applied to carrier 222 via output shaft 228, then internal gear locking receiving part 230b and lock section 232b engagement, internal gear locking receiving part 230c and lock section 232c engagement, internal gear 220 is in the lock state, as shown in figure 48.In addition, when rotary driving force is inverted so that when rotating sun gear 216 in the direction of the clock by input shaft 226, internal gear 220 is disengaged lock state, to return to original state shown in Figure 41.
On the other hand, when internal gear 220 is in as shown in figure 44 lock state, can remove the lock state of internal gear 220 by the load that reduces to be applied to output shaft 228.
Promptly, in the state that load on output shaft 228 reduces, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c revolve round the sun according to sun gear 216 clockwise rotations in the direction of the clock with carrier 222, simultaneously by rotation counterclockwise, and rotate (referring to Figure 49) in the direction of the clock with the internal gear 220 of planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c engagement.
In this state, owing to place the viscous resistance member between internal gear 220 and the interior section 223, the rotational speed of internal gear 220 becomes less than the rotational speed of carrier 222, and has occurred relative rotation number purpose difference between carrier 222 and internal gear 220.Thereby the viscous resistance between internal gear 220 and the interior section 223 increases.Because increase of the viscous resistance between internal gear 220 and the interior section 223 and planetary pinion 218 and internal gear 220 are spiral gears, therefore the direction along the striped of the gear teeth of spiral formation on the cylinder surface of gear has produced thrust.
In addition, as shown in figure 50, each among internal gear locking receiving part 231c and the lock section 233c has such shape: draw a curve in a circumferential direction.Therefore, when internal gear 220 rotated in the direction of the clock, with thrust, also the edge had applied power in the opposite direction with Z1 side, and internal gear 220 is done parallel shift.
That is, along doing parallel shift in the opposite direction with Z1 side, internal gear locking receiving part 231a to 231b separates with lock section 233a to 233d internal gear 220 when rotating in the direction of the clock, and internal gear 220 is disengaged lock state.
In the first automatic reduction speed ratio COMM communication 210, spiral gear is used to sun gear 216, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c and internal gear 220, and the viscous resistance member is provided in internal gear 220 and the interior section 223 that provides for carrier 222 between.Thereby when the load that surpasses default torque was applied to carrier 222, internal gear 220 was based on the relative rotation speed difference between internal gear 220 and the carrier 222, along doing parallel shift towards the direction of input shaft 226 or towards the direction of output shaft 228.Thereby can automatically switch is delivered to the reduction speed ratio of the biasing member of actuator from output shaft 228.
Certain goes out in the route to stop outside when the biasing member of actuator, when biasing member is once more along the direction displacement of the route of going out then, then also can easily removes internal gear 220 lock states, and change reduction speed ratio automatically.In addition, the biasing member of actuator can low torque and high-speed along going out the route displacement.
Next will the press device 270 (actuator) that combine with the first automatic reduction speed ratio COMM communication 210 be described with reference to Figure 51 to 53.
Press device 270 (actuator) is the device that is used for pushing where necessary workpiece W.Press device 270 (actuator) consists essentially of motor 272, automatically deceleration unit 274, fixedly reduction speed ratio deceleration unit 276, feed screw axle 278, movable member 280, pipeline 282 and guiding device 284.Movable member 280 and pipeline 282 serve as the biasing member of actuator.
In press device 270, feed screw axle 278 under as the incentive action of the motor 272 of rotary driving source by deceleration unit 274 and fixedly reduction speed ratio deceleration unit 276 rotations automatically.The feed nut (not shown) with helical groove of movable member 280 is directed device 284 and guides, and moving axially along feed screw axle 278.Movable member 280 is connected to the pipeline 282 that the front end place has pressing part 286, with workpiece W adjacency so that push workpiece W.Pipeline 282 has its hollow inside.In this structure, feed screw axle 278 is inserted in the hollow inside.
When motor 272 is driven, the rotating force rotation sun gear 216 of motor 272 under the low load.Thereby, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c, internal gear 220 and carrier 222 with integral way around sun gear 216 revolve round the sun in the direction of the clock (referring to Figure 42).Thereby the rotation number purpose rotation corresponding to input shaft 226 is passed to output shaft 228, to cause high speed rotating.Rotation is transmitted with swivel feeding screw axis 278 from output shaft 228 via fixing reduction speed ratio deceleration unit 276.The feed nut with helical groove of movable member 280 is directed device 284 and guides, and moving axially along feed screw axle 278.Thereby, 286 from the initial position shown in Figure 51 towards workpiece W high-speed displacement (referring to Figure 52).
Shown in Figure 53, displacement pressing part 286 and workpiece W adjacency, the load that surpasses default torque is applied to carrier 222 via output shaft 228 from press device 270.In the case, sun gear 216 is rotated, thus planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c by the counter clockwise direction rotation opposite with the direction of sun gear 216, planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c do not revolve round the sun simultaneously.The internal gear 220 that is meshed with planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c is by rotation (referring to Figure 43) counterclockwise.Thereby thrust is on internal gear 220, and internal gear 220 is done parallel shift along the Z1 direction.
Be the result of parallel shift along the Z1 direction as internal gear 220, as shown in figure 44, internal gear locking receiving part 231b and lock section 233b engagement, internal gear locking receiving part 231c and lock section 233c engagement, internal gear 220 is in the lock state.When internal gear 220 is in the lock state, then planetary pinion 218 revolves round the sun according to the rotation of sun gear 216 in the direction of the clock with carrier 222, rotation (referring to Figure 45) in the counterclockwise direction simultaneously, and the torque that increases is passed to the pressing part 286 of press device 270 via output shaft 228.Thereby the workpiece W part 286 that is pressed is pushed (referring to Figure 53).Thereby workpiece W carried out pushed processing, and/or carried out the operation of the position that is used for travelling workpiece W.
The reduction speed ratio that obtains in the lock state of internal gear 220 is represented that by 1/ (1+Z (C)/Z (A)) wherein Z (A) represents the number of the gear teeth of sun gear 216, the number of the gear teeth of Z (C) expression internal gear 220.The output torque that draws from output shaft 228 is doubly the same big with (1+Z (C)/Z (A)) of the input torque of introducing from input shaft 226.For example, when the gear teeth number of sun gear 216 is 12, the gear teeth number of internal gear 220 is 66 o'clock, has then obtained 6.5 times high torque (HT).
After the part 286 that is pressed at workpiece was as mentioned above pushed, when the current polarity that is applied to motor 272 was inverted, sun gear 216 was transfused to axle 226 by rotation counterclockwise.Planetary pinion 218a, 218b, 218c revolve round the sun by counter clockwise direction according to the rotation of sun gear 216 with carrier 222, simultaneously rotation (referring to Figure 46) in the direction of the clock.
Thereby thrust is on internal gear 220.Internal gear 220 is done parallel shift with Z1 side in the edge in the opposite direction when rotating in the direction of the clock.The internal gear locking receiving part 230 of internal gear 220 is separated with the lock section 232 of shell 212b, and internal gear 220 is disengaged lock state.
