Configuration the first axle part spare 3 and the second axle part spare 4 make it overlapping on diametric(al), and the first axle part spare 3 is positioned at the inboard, and the second axle part spare 4 is positioned at the outside.The first axle part spare 3 is rotated through applying rotating force by force application spring 6, and the second axle part spare 4 advances from housing 2 through 3 rotations of the first axle part spare.
Like Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 4, the first axle part spare 3 forms, and comprises the axial region 3a of flange part 2b side and the screw spindle part 3b that extends vertically from axial region 3a, and is formed with outside thread (screw section) 8 in the periphery of screw spindle part 3b.Outside thread 8 is formed in the roughly length range of screw spindle part 3b.Be formed with the slit 3e that inserts the top that is used to make the rolling-in anchor clamps (not shown) that the first axle part spare 3 is rotated at the shaft end of axial region 3a.Slit 3e is communicated with the anchor clamps hole 2e of the flange part 2b that runs through housing 2, and through 2e makes the first axle part spare 3 be rotated through slit 3e to the top that slit 3e inserts the rolling-in anchor clamps from the anchor clamps hole, thereby can rolling-in force application spring 5.After rolling-in force application spring 5, be threaded through making sealing bolt (not shown), thus seal clamp hole 2e.
The first axle part spare 3 inserts the bearing 9 that is arranged in the housing 2 through the shaft end (underpart among Fig. 1 and Fig. 4) of axial region 3a, thereby is supported rotation.Owing to be inserted into bearing 9, so the bottom surface of the shaft end of axial region 3a contacts with the end face of bearing 9.The shaft end of axial region 3a contacts with bearing 9, thereby between the first axle part spare 3 and bearing 9 (promptly, housing 2), produces friction torque, has in generation under the state of friction torque, and first 3 is rotated.In addition, also bearing 9 can be set in housing 2, and make the shaft end of axial region 3a directly contact the internal surface of housing 2.
The shaft portion 3a and 3b of the screw shaft portion to the connecting portion is provided with a constriction means (link portion) 3d.The diameter of joint 3d like this, forms the surface of contact 3f in the outside that is positioned at joint 3d less than the diameter of axial region 3a on axial region 3a.Of the back, surface of contact 3f contacts with friction means 6.
Like Fig. 2 and shown in Figure 5, the second axle part spare 4 forms tubular, and is formed with the internal thread (screw section) 10 that is threaded with the outside thread 8 of the first axle part spare 3 at the internal surface of bottom side.On the second axle part spare 4, the periphery that is formed with the part of internal thread 10 is circle, and the periphery of other parts except this circular portion becomes non-circular through carrying out parallel cutting.In Fig. 5,4a is a circular portion, and 4b is a non-circular portion.On the top of the second axle part spare 4 top cover 11 is installed, is lockable through being pressed into spring pin 12.
As shown in Figure 2, guider (ガ イ De) 13 is installed on the head portion of housing 2, and fixing through circlip 14.Guider 13 has sliding eye 13a, and the non-circular portion 4b of the second axle part spare 4 can run through sliding eye 13a slidably.The internal surface of sliding eye 13a forms identical non-circular of non-circular portion with the second axle part spare 4.Therefore, though guider 13 allows the second axle part spare 4 to move vertically, has the effect of restriction the second axle part spare 4 rotations.In addition, the sliding eye 13a of guider 13 and the non-circular portion 4b that runs through the second axle part spare 4 of sliding eye 13a also can be that D cutting shape, substantially elliptical or polygon etc. are non-circular.
In this embodiment, use disc spring as force application spring 5.The force application spring 5 that is made up of disc spring is arranged on the axial region 3a outside of the first axle part spare 3.As shown in Figure 3, a distolateral hook portion 5a of force application spring 5 is inserted among the window shape slit 2d that is formed at housing 2 and is stuck, and is as shown in Figure 2 on the other hand, and another distolateral hook portion 5b is inserted among the slit 3e of axial region 3a and is stuck.Like this, give moment through rolling-in force application spring 5, thus, force application spring 5 applies rotating force along a direction to the first axle part spare 3.The rotating tee that is applied in first rotary component 3 of rotating force is crossed the screw section 8,10 that is threaded and is passed to the second axle part spare 4, but because the second axle part spare 4 is directed to device 13 restriction rotations, so the second axle part spare 4 is advanced and retreat with respect to housing 2.
As shown in Figure 2, friction means 6 is enclosed within outward on the joint 3d of the first axle part spare 3.As shown in Figure 6, friction means 6 forms circular tabular, and entreats part to be formed with the 6a of hole portion of the screw spindle part 3b diameter that is slightly larger than the first axle part spare 3 therein.Like this, friction means 6 is configured to rotate freely with respect to the first axle part spare 3.Through friction means 6 is installed to the first axle part spare 3, thereby friction means 6 contacts with the surface of contact 3f of the first axle part spare 3, and between friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3, produces friction torque through this contact.
Elastic member 7 uses the pressure spring that is wound into coiled type.The elastic member 7 that is made up of pressure spring is configured between friction means 6 and the guider 13 with the mode of its two end part and friction means 6 and guider 13 butts.Elastic member 7 between friction means 6 and guider 13, and to friction means 6 application of forces, makes friction means 6 contact with the surface of contact 3f of the first axle part spare 3 with compressed (being bent) state configuration to a certain degree.And, through to friction means 6 application of forces, it is contacted with the first axle part spare 3, thereby elastic member 7 carry out the application of force through friction means 6, make the shaft end of axial region 3a of the first axle part spare 3 contact with bearing 9.
Elastic member 7 is arranged on the radial outside of the second axle part spare 4.In this embodiment, the radial outside at the second axle part spare 4 is inserted in lining 16.Lining 16 is tubulars such as cylinder, and carries out butt through bottom and friction means 6, as making the first axle part spare 3 and the second axle part spare 4 that are in the state of being threaded not break away from housing 2.Elastic member 7 is owing to be configured in the more lateral of lining 16, and therefore, elastic member 7 is positioned at the radial outside of the second axle part spare 4.
As shown in Figure 2, in this embodiment, the end of friction means 6 sides of elastic member 7 is formed with (spring) end and polishes circle, and, its part end face is carried out abrasive machining.Be formed as described above (spring) end bull ring, the stability of elastic member 7 improves, and can stable masterpiece be used for friction means 6.And, through face machined flat, can make the stability raising of elastic member 7 and apply stable power, simultaneously, can reduce crush pad, and realize miniaturization friction means 6.In the present invention, be not to be defined in this, can not form (spring) end in the end and polish circle, yet abrasive machining end face not.And, have or not to form above-mentioned (spring) end and polish circle, have or not face machined flat, after also can likewise be suitable in other the mode of execution stated.
Then, the effect to this mode of execution describes.The first axle part spare 3 contacts with bearing 9 with contact radius r1, and elastic member 7 contacts with friction means 6 with contact radius r2.Here, because elastic member 7 is arranged on the radial outside of the second axle part spare 4 in the first axle part spare 3 outsides, so, be the relation of r1<r2.Elastic member 7 is by deflection configuration, so elastic member 7 utilizes axial load W that friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3 are pushed to the direction that is close to housing 2.Under this state, when receiving from motor when vibrating, the first axle part spare 3 carries out crankmotion.Because the crankmotion of the first axle part spare 3, friction torque T1 acts between the first axle part spare 3 and the friction means 6.Here, T1=Wr1 μ, μ are the friction factor between friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3.
Friction means 6 rotates freely with respect to the first axle part spare 3, but owing between friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3, produce friction torque T1, so friction means 6 rotates with the first axle part spare 3, and elastic member 7 is acted on the moment of torsional directions.In this case, on the surface of contact of the shaft end of the first axle part spare 3 and bearing 9, producing has the tangential force P1 (P1=T1/r1) based on friction torque T1, and simultaneously, between elastic member 7 and friction means 6, producing has tangential force P2 (P2=T1/r2).The relation of tangential force P1, P2 is, because of r1<r2, so, P1>P2.Tangential force is a shearing stress, because P1>P2, so the moment of torsional elasticity parts 7 reduces significantly.And the face (axial end of the first axle part spare 3) that the first axle part spare 3 slides is restricted to contact radius r1, so the both non-slip rotation of the first axle part spare 3 is not stopped the rotation again, and can prevent trickle positive and negative rotation.Therefore, be the stretcher that a kind of the second axle part spare 4 that is threaded with the first axle part spare 3 is advanced and retreat and moved and guarantee operating stably with stable amplitude.
And, in this embodiment, through elastic member 7 being configured in the outside of lining 16, thereby can dispose the first axle part spare 3, the second axle part spare 4, lining 16 and elastic member 7 along diametric(al).Therefore, the stretcher A1 that axial length has shortened can be become, short and smallization of stretcher can be realized.
Fig. 7 to Fig. 9 illustrates the stretcher A2 of second mode of execution of the present invention.In stretcher A2, be formed with head 16a on the lining 16 of tubular.Head 16a is formed on the axial head portion (top part) of lining 16, and at its outer peripheral portion the distolateral of elastic member 7 is installed.The outer peripheral portion of guider 13 sides of head 16a is the conical surface 16b that tilts to bottom side.The curved section butt of conical surface 16b and guider 13.From the moment loading of elastic member 7 in lining 16, thereby adjustment lining 16, so, have the advantage that can not dispose elastic member 7 with diametrically evenly (having and exist partially).
Contact with friction means 6 because another of elastic member 7 is distolateral, so another of friction means 6 supporting elastic members 7 is distolateral.As shown in Figure 9, friction means 6 forms the stair-stepping while of secondary at its outer peripheral portion, and it is stepped that the 6a of hole portion of central authorities forms secondary.It is distolateral to be inserted into another of elastic member 7 at the stair-stepping outer peripheral portion of secondary, and contacts with elastic member 7 because this contact, elastic member 7 in the direction that friction means 6 is contacted with the first axle part spare 3 to friction means 6 application of forces.Because the outer peripheral portion of the stair-stepping friction means 6 of above-mentioned secondary is inserted in the elastic member 7,, therefore, can prevent that elastic member 7 from tilting so elastic member 7 is stable.
The shoulder part of axial region 3a in the first axle part spare 3 contacts with the 6a of hole portion of the stair-stepping friction means 6 of secondary.This contact makes between friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3 and produces friction torque.Through insert the shoulder part of axial region 3a at the stair-stepping hole 6a of portion of above-mentioned secondary, can prevent the position deflection of friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3, thereby, can obtain stable friction torque.Other structure is identical with first mode of execution.This mode of execution also can have same effect with first mode of execution.Especially, in this embodiment, be that secondary is stepped through outer peripheral portion and the 6a of hole portion that makes friction means 6, and guiding the first axle part spare 3 and elastic member 7, so can prevent off-centre, position deflection.In view of the above, can make the advance and retreat of the second axle part spare 4 that is threaded with the first axle part spare 3 more stable, and can make the action of stretcher more stable.In this case, also can be that arbitrary side with the outer peripheral portion of friction means 6 or the 6a of hole portion is as the stair-stepping structure of secondary.
Figure 10 illustrates the variation of this mode of execution.In the stretcher of this mode of execution, the joint 3d that makes the first axle part spare 3 is that secondary is stepped, simultaneously, between joint 3d and axial region 3a, end difference is set.In friction means 6, insert the major diameter part of joint 3d, and under this insertion state, contact with the surface of contact 3f of axial region 3a upper surface.Tilt owing in the structure of Figure 10, also can prevent friction means 6, so, can prevent that elastic member 7 from tilting.And, off-centre, the position deflection of friction means 6 can be prevented, and stable action can be carried out with respect to the first axle part spare 3.
Figure 11 to Figure 15 illustrates the stretcher A3 of third embodiment of the invention.In stretcher A3, the torsion spring that uses coiled type is as force application spring 5.Along the extending axially of the first axle part spare 3 and the second axle part spare 4, the distolateral hook portion 5a of one of which is inserted among the slit 2g that is formed on the housing 2 and engages as the torsion spring of force application spring 5, and another distolateral hook portion 5b is inserted among the slit 3e of the first axle part spare 3 and engages.Therefore, give moment through rolling-in force application spring 5, force application spring 5 applies rotating force to a direction to the first axle part spare 3.
The shape that housing 2 extends from the intermediate portion of main body 2a for flange part 2b laterally, and the part of the above tip side of flange part 2b is inserted in the engine main body.Therefore, in this embodiment, the cardinal extremity of the main body 2a of housing 2 partly exposes the outside at engine main body.
In this embodiment, the friction means 6 double linings of makeing.Shown in figure 12, friction means 6 has support 6d, the 6e of lining portion and friction part 6f from tip side (upside) to terminal side (downside) integratedly.Lining 6e forms tubulars such as cylinder, and the first axle part spare 3 and the second axle part spare 4 are inserted into inside under the state of being threaded.Therefore, friction means 6 is configured in the radial outside of the second axle part spare 4.
Support 6d is bent to form to radial outside through the tip side from the 6e of lining portion.Support 6d is positioned at than force application spring 5 more near tip side.Between support 6d and guider 13, dispose the elastic member 7 that constitutes by pressure spring.Elastic member 7 is configured between guider 13 and the support 6d with the mode that its two end part contact with guider 13 and support 6d, and the application of force, makes friction means 6 contact with the first axle part spare 3.Elastic member 7 contacts with the friction means 6 (support 6d) in the outside that is positioned at the second axle part spare 4, so elastic member 7 is configured in the radial outside of the second axle part spare 4.In Figure 12, r2 is the contact radius that elastic member 7 contacts with support 6d.
Friction part 6f is connected with the terminal side at the 6e of lining portion.Friction part 6f is that shown in figure 11, friction part 6f contacts with the first axle part spare 3 from the terminal side inclination of the 6e of lining portion and the plane of inclination of expanding laterally.Because friction part 6f contacts with the first axle part spare 3, friction means 6 has the effect that makes the first axle part spare 3 that is in the state of being threaded and the second axle part spare 4 not break away from housing 2, and like this, friction means 6 has the function as lining.
The first axle part spare 3 is formed with large diameter contacting part 3h between axial region 3a and screw spindle part 3b.The outer surface of contacting part 3h is and the inclined surface of the true dip direction of friction part 6f same degree, contacts with contacting part 3h through friction part 6f, between friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3, produces friction torque.Like this, owing to contacting part 3h is the plane of inclination with friction part 6f and contacts, thereby can increase friction torque.In Figure 12, r1 is the contact radius of friction part 6f when contacting with contacting part 3h.
With reference to Figure 13 the effect of this mode of execution is described.With the inclined angle alpha state of contact, when by elastic member 7 applied moment W, produce vertical resistance W ' for contacting part 3h and friction part 6f at the surface of contact of contacting part 3h and friction part 6f.Resistance W ' is directly related to the friction torque T1 that friction means 6 applies with the direction that contacts with the first axle part spare 3 to friction means 6, and when resistance W ' became big, then friction torque T1 also became big.Because above-mentioned W ' is W '=W/sin α, so, can make friction torque act on the first axle part spare 3 greater than the moment W of elastic member 7.In this case, when α diminishes, because W ' increase then can be adjusted friction torque T1 through adjustment α.
Shown in figure 14; When friction part 6f contacted with contacting part 3h in the zone of contact least radius r1b from contact maximum radius r1a, the friction torque T1 that between friction means 6 and the first axle part spare 3, produces was T1=(2/3) (μ W (r1ar1ar1a-r1br1br1b)/(r1ar1a-r1br1b) sin α).In this formula, for example, when W=30N, μ=0.15, α=30 °, when r1a=8mm, r1b=4mm, produce the friction torque T1 of 56Nmm.
The profile that Figure 15 illustrates the contacting part 3h that makes the first axle part spare 3 is the mode that friction part 6f circular, that make friction means 6 is in contact with it.At this moment friction torque T1 is T1=r1 μ W/sin α.For example, when W=30N, μ=0.15, α=30 °, during r1=6mm, produce the friction torque T1 of 54Nmm.
Figure 16 illustrates the variation of the friction torque T1 when inclined angle alpha is changed.Shown in figure 16, inclined angle alpha is more little, and friction torque T1 increases more.For example, ° compare with α=90, when α=30 °, friction torque T1 is 2 times.
In above-mentioned the 3rd mode of execution, reduce through making inclined angle alpha, can produce big friction torque T1.Therefore,, then increase degree of freedom in design, excessively like this, can design the stretcher of miniaturization through turning α down if during identical friction torque T1.
Figure 17 illustrates the stretcher A4 of four embodiment of the invention.In the stretcher A4 of this mode of execution, form the plane of inclination at the axial two end part of the axial region 3a of the first axle part spare 3.That is the plane of inclination 31,32 that the direction of, successively decreasing to diameter in tip side (upper end side) and bottom (lower end side) formation of axial region 3a tilts.
Plane of inclination 31 is corresponding with friction means 6, and plane of inclination 32 is corresponding with bearing 9, on friction means 6, be formed with the contact hole 33 of plane of inclination 31 inclination equal angular, bearing 9 is formed with the supporting surface 34 to tilt with plane of inclination 32 equal angular.Therefore, contact with contact hole 33 through plane of inclination 31, friction means 6 and 3 contacts of the first axle part spare can be given the first axle part spare 3 with the transmission of torque of elastic member 7.And, contacting with supporting surface 34 through plane of inclination 32, the first axle part spare 3 is rotated under the state that is supported by bearing 9 (promptly, housing 2).In addition, be formed with regulation projection 36, be used to suppress elastic member 7 and move to diametric skew on the surface of elastic member 7 sides of friction means 6.Like this, elastic member 7 does not contact with the second axle part spare 4.
In the above-described embodiment; When doing the time spent from the moment of elastomeric element 7, then pass through inclined plane 31 and contact hole 33, reach inclined plane 32 and supporting surface 34 quilt adjustment (aligning), so; Inclined plane 31 is closely contacted with supporting surface 34 with contact-making surface 33 and inclined plane 32, and non-migration.And, same with the stretcher of the 3rd mode of execution, according to the angle of plane of inclination 31,32, can make friction torque increase based on the moment of elastic member 7.
The present invention is not limited to above mode of execution, and various changes can be arranged.For example, can use except that springs the compression spring such as belleville springs as elastic member 7.
