Abstract

An ultrasonic motor includes rotors and an annular stator, which are integrated in the rotational direction, a rectangular parallelepiped multilayer piezoelectric transducer, a support shaft, and a transducer with drivers. The support shaft is attached to the outer circumference of the stator and arranged along the radial direction, and the drivers are abutted by a spring urging force to the rotors arranged on both sides of the stator in the axial direction, and are clamped with the rotors. When the transducer is driven so as to excite an elliptical movement produced by combining a bending standing-wave vibration with a longitudinal vibration with the drivers, the rotors are rotated relatively to the stator. Since the drivers are clamped with the integrated rotors, the ultrasonic motor can be driven with small frictional loss and improved conversion efficiency.

Two oscillators 41 form the drive division of vibration wave motor portion 40, and as shown in Figure 4, oscillator 41 has stacked piezoelectrics 42, actuator 44,45, bolster 46 etc.
As shown in Figure 5, bolster 46 has axial region, flange part 46a and the threaded portion 46b on the flange side end of perforation, on the position of the node of oscillations that becomes stacked piezoelectrics 42 (neutral position), above-mentioned perforation axial region is connected along stacked direction, and it is adhesively fixed.
As shown in Figure 4, actuator 44 and actuator 45 are made of a pair of projection respectively, and are configured along the length direction (T direction) of stacked piezoelectrics 42 on the end face of the both sides of Z direction with bolster 46 orthogonal directions.In addition, under the mounted state of stator, actuator 44 and actuator 45 only protrude a little than the end face (Z direction) of stator 15.And, the diameter addition of the size between the actuator 44,45 (size of Z direction) and two rollers 23 measure-alike.
To be installed to two oscillators 41 on the stator 15, at first, the oscillator that oscillator 41 inserts stator 15 be installed with the recess 15a, and the threaded portion 46b of bolster 46 is inserted among the perforation slotted hole 15b from cylindrical side Monday.Nut 25 is screwed in from inner periphery one side on the threaded portion 46b of bolster 46, and the state that connects slotted hole 15b by the flange part 46a of bolster 46 and the flange part 25a clamping of nut 25,46b is adhesively fixed the threaded portion.Be installed in oscillator 41 on the stator 15 and be bearing in bolster 46, and can rotate freely, and on the Z direction, can move a bit a little with respect to stator 15 around bolster 46 along the R direction.But, it is being supported with the state that the position on T direction and R direction is restricted.In addition, as shown in Figure 3, on stator 15 circumferencial directions, above-mentioned two oscillators 41 and above-mentioned a pair of roller 23 are configured in respectively with respect to the axle center and carry out on the position of trisection with the hexagonal angle degree.
In addition, further detailed structure and effect about above-mentioned oscillator 41 will be described hereinafter.
As mentioned above, assembled the stator 15 of oscillator 41, roller 23, bearing ball 21 etc., embedded from-Z end face one side on the outer circumference portion of rotor 16.And, from stator 15-Z end face one side, with among the breach 16d that lug boss 17a, 20b is embedded rotor 16 and be in the state that is restricted that rotates, rotor 17, the application of force are embedded on the rotors 16 with leaf spring 20.In addition, insert spring force and regulate, and pressing plate 18 is crimped on its back side one side, the screw 10 that runs through screw through hole 18a is screwed among the screw 16e of rotor 16 fixes again with dividing plate 19 with desired thickness.By so fixing, rotor 16 is with 17 just under the state of stator 15 in clamping, be connected with the state that can slide slightly on the Z direction and relative rotation is restricted.
As mentioned above, in the vibration wave motor portion 40 that assembles, rotor 16 be with 17 one-tenth as a whole states of rotor under, contact and can be supported with relatively rotating with the inner circumferential portion of stator 15 via ball 21.In addition, rotor 17 is subjected to the application of force with the directed force F 0 of leaf spring 20, and stressed to stator 15 1 sides of+Z direction, and, with 16 one-tenth as a whole states that are rotated of rotor under, be supported to can relatively move along the Z direction (Fig. 8).
Shown in the section of the clamp position of above-mentioned oscillator 41 among Fig. 5,6 and roller 23, the actuator 44,45 of oscillator 41 and the external diameter of a pair of roller 23 on the Z direction by becoming as a whole rotor 16,17 clampings.And, as shown in Figure 3, two oscillators 41 and one group of roller 23 are configured on the circumferencial direction trisection posistion of stator 15, because they are supported to respectively only can be mobile a little in the Z direction, so the actuator 44,45 of oscillator 41 and a pair of roller 23 be by becoming as a whole rotor 17 and 16 clampings, and be subjected to the directed force F 0 of the Z direction of approximate equality.
