As shown in Figure 9, cell encoder 40 also comprises rotating speed arithmetic element 110, output unit 120 except that comprising detecting unit 80,90,100.
Rotating speed arithmetic element 110 comprises rotating speed arithmetical unit 111, and the storage part of storage representation number of teeth numbering and the information such as form T of the corresponding relation of rotating speed R.Rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is according to the absolute position of driving gear 50 and the absolute position of follower gear 60,70, and the rotating speed of axle 30 is carried out computing.At first, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 bases with from the corresponding signal of absolute position Z, α, β of revising arithmetical unit 87,97,107, differentiate be positioned at driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 separately-number of teeth numbering of the tooth portion 51,61,71 of Y side.Then, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is confirmed the absolute position Z of driving gear 50 with the spacing thinner than the number of teeth of driving gear 50.And then rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 switches to the timing that the next number of teeth is numbered according to the number of teeth numbering that absolute position Z differentiates driving gear 50.And then, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 according to this regularly so that the consistent mode of engagement of the engagement of driving gear 50 and follower gear 60,70, the number of teeth of switching each follower gear 60,70 is numbered.
Then, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is with reference to form T, the engagement that makes driving gear 50 and the engagement of follower gear 60,70 mutual consistent after, come the rotating speed R of axle 30 is carried out computing according to the combination of these numbers of teeth numberings.111 outputs and the corresponding signal of rotating speed R of rotating speed arithmetical unit.
The concrete example of expression form T in Figure 11.Form T is the example when the number of teeth of driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 is respectively 5,4,3.In form T shown in Figure 11, the 1st tabulation of the leftmost side show be positioned at driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 separately-combination number of the number of teeth numbering of the tooth portion 51,61,71 of Y side.The 2nd tabulation on the right side of the 1st row show be positioned at driving gear 50-number of teeth numbering of the tooth portion 51 of Y side.Likewise, the 3rd row, the 4th tabulation show be positioned at follower gear 60-number of teeth numbering of the tooth portion 61 of Y side, be positioned at follower gear 70-number of teeth numbering of the tooth portion 71 of Y side.The rotating speed R of axle 30 (driving gears 50) is shown in the 5th tabulation of the rightmost side of form T.
Can know the ading up to of the combination of driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 number of teeth numbering separately 60 kinds (60=5 * 4 * 3) with reference to Figure 11.For example, when separately number of teeth numbering be combined as (No.1, No.2, No.3) time, combination number is No.006.In the case, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is through with reference to form T and the rotating speed R=1 of computing shaft 30 (driving gear 50).In addition, when separately number of teeth numbering be combined as (No.1, No.2, No.2) time, combination number is No.026.In the case, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is through with reference to form T and the rotating speed R=5 of computing shaft 30 (driving gear 50).
Yet; In the said example; When the number of teeth that is numbered No.1, follower gear 60 expressions in the number of teeth of driving gear 50 expression is numbered No.1; The number of teeth of follower gear 70 expression is numbered under the situation of No.3 or No.2, even if having under the condition of different in number of teeth numbering, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 for example calculates that rotating speed is the bigger rotating speed R of difference of R=1 or R=5.Therefore, change, and when making the follower gear 70 that should represent number of teeth numbering No.2 originally be expressed as number of teeth numbering No.3, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 also can the incorrect rotating speed R of computing when the backlash by gear causes the gear meshing state.
Because the follower gear of this embodiment 60,70 meshes with driving gear 50 respectively, so all gear meshing states (switching timing of number of teeth numbering) are identical.Yet, might cause gear engagement each other different because of the backlash of gear.Therefore, the rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 of this embodiment detect and judge driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 number of teeth numbering separately be will switch before, just switched or be from switching the back between switching next time.And; Under the mutual condition of different of these engagements; Rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 makes the engagement (switching timing of number of teeth numbering) of each follower gear 60,70 consistent with the engagement (switching timing of number of teeth numbering) of driving gear 50, and makes all gear meshing states identical.For example; Switching timing in that the number of teeth of driving gear 50 is numbered is numbered for just switching the number of teeth; The switching timing of the number of teeth numbering of follower gear 60,70 will be for switching under the preceding situation of number of teeth numbering; Rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 makes the switching timing of number of teeth numbering of follower gear 60,70 consistent with the switching timing of the number of teeth numbering of driving gear 50, be made as firm switched the number of teeth and numbered after.
As stated, the resolution of the absolute position Z that exports from detecting unit 80,90,100, α, β is compared enough thin with the tooth portion 61 of the tooth portion 51 of driving gear 50, follower gear 60, the tooth portion 71 of follower gear 70.Therefore, for example, rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 for each tooth portion 51,61,71 be divided into 3 timings (will switch preceding, just switch the back, from firm switchings back to next time between the switching) and detect.And rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 switches to the engagement identical with driving gear 50 with the engagement of follower gear 60,70.
Rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is with reference to form T, and according to the combination of these numbers of teeth numberings the rotating speed R of axle 30 carried out computing.Yet operational method is an arbitrary method.For example, in this embodiment, the combination of number of teeth numbering be numbered fixing round values, the number of teeth of each gear (driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70) is numbered known value, the rotating speed of each gear be the value (parameter) of the unknown.Therefore, the simple equation that is made up of 3 parameters can be 3.Rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 also can come rotating speed R is carried out computing according to these equations.
In addition, in this embodiment, the ading up to of the combination of driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 number of teeth numbering separately 22,632 kinds (22,632=41 * 24 * 23).The differentiation upper limit of cell encoder 40 can be 552 circles (552=22,632/41).Therefore, because the helical pitch of the ball-screw of actuator 200 is 10mm as stated, so can differentiate 5, the position of the slide block 201 in the scope of the stroke of 520mm (5,520=552 * 10).
As shown in Figure 9, output unit 120 comprises multiplexer 121 and the line driver 122 that switches 2 groups of signals ({ A, B} with { Z, R}).
Multiplexer 121 is after energized or when resetting, at first output with from the absolute position Z corresponding voltage signal of correction arithmetical unit 87 outputs of detecting unit 80, and with the rotating speed R corresponding voltage signal of exporting from the rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 of rotating speed arithmetic element 110.The control part of following controller is confirmed current location according to these signals.Then, multiplexer 121 switches to these signals from the A phase signals of the fluorescence detector of detecting unit 80 83 outputs and B phase signals and exports A phase signals and B phase signals.Control part carries out the incremented/decremented counting and current location is upgraded (incremental encoder function) according to these signals.
Line driver 122 outputs are based on the differential wave of the signal of exporting from multiplexer 121 with the difference of the signal of the phase reversal gained that makes this signal.
As shown in Figure 9, controller 300 is connected in the motor unit 10 that comprises above-mentioned cell encoder 40.Controller 300 comprises line receiver unit 302 and control part 301.
Line receiver unit 302 will convert initial signal into from the differential wave of line driver 122 outputs.And, this signal is inputed to control part 301.
Control part 301 comprises CPU (central processing unit), primary storage portion, auxiliary storage portion etc.Control part 301 bases are confirmed from the signal of line receiver unit 302 and are discerned current location, and control servomotor 20.
With reference to Fig. 9 to as the action of the motor unit 10 of above-mentioned formation describe.
If will comprise the power connection of the actuator system of motor unit 10, controller 300 etc., then the detecting unit 80 of cell encoder 40 is according to the reflected light from the optical rail 54 (absolute scale) of driving gear 50, and to the absolute position Z of driving gear 50 0Carry out computing.In addition, detecting unit 80 is according to from the reflected light of optical rail 53 (increment scale) phase theta in 1 bit of optical rail 54 being carried out computing.Detecting unit 80 is according to these absolute positions Z 0And phase theta, and to resolution than absolute position Z 0High absolute position Z carries out computing.Detecting unit 80 will export rotating speed arithmetic element 110 and output unit 120 to the corresponding signal of absolute position Z.
Detecting unit 90,100 and detecting unit 80 likewise, according to reflected light, and the absolute position α of output follower gear 60,70 from the optical rail 64,74 (absolute scales) of follower gear 60,70 0, β 0Detecting unit 90,100 is according to from the reflected light of optical rail 63,73 (increment scale) phase place in 1 bit of the optical rail 64,74 of follower gear 60,70 being carried out computing.Detecting unit 90,100 is according to absolute position α 0, β 0And phase place, and to resolution than absolute position α 0, β 0High absolute position α, β carry out computing.Detecting unit 90,100 will export rotating speed arithmetic element 110 to absolute position α, the corresponding signal of β.
Rotating speed arithmetic element 110 bases and the corresponding signal of absolute position Z, α, β from detecting unit 80,90,100; And driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 number of teeth numbering is separately carried out computing, and come the rotating speed R of axle 30 is carried out computing according to these combinations.Rotating speed arithmetic element 110 will export output unit 120 to the corresponding signal of rotating speed R.
Output unit 120 is after energized or when resetting; Will with the corresponding signal of absolute position Z, with the corresponding signal of rotating speed R export controller 300 to; Through the switching of multiplexer 121 A phase signals, the B phase signals of driving gear 50 continued export controller 300 thereafter.
Controller 300 bases with from the corresponding signal of absolute position Z of cell encoder 40, with the corresponding signal of rotating speed R, and the absolute position Z of driving gear 50, rotating speed R are stored as the initial value of the absolute position Z of axle 30, rotating speed R.Controller 300 is according to A phase signals, the B phase signals of driving gear 50, and said initial value is carried out the incremented/decremented counting and current location is upgraded.
If storage absolute position Z, rotating speed R, then controller 300 makes electric current flow through the coil of the stator 23 of servomotor 20.And, switch the coil that flows through electric current.Thus, make coil magnetization and between stator 23 and rotor 22, produce repulsion or gravitation.Its result, axle 30 is with stator 23 rotations.
If axle 30 is rotated, then driving gear 50 is with axle 30 rotations.In addition, through meshing with driving gear 50, follower gear 60 and follower gear 70 also the edge sense of rotation opposite with the sense of rotation of driving gear 50 are rotated.
When the rotational speed of axle 30 at the uniform velocity the time, from the light of LED illuminating part 82 irradiations of detecting unit 80 through optical rail 53 (increment scale) while and its reflection strength is increased and decreased reflect.Detecting unit 80 will with export controller 300 to by corresponding A phase signals of 53 intensity of light reflected of optical rail and B phase signals.The value of A phase signals is that every process cycle T just becomes low level from high level.The B phase signals shifts to an earlier date the T/4 cycle with respect to the A phase signals, and every process cycle T just becomes low level from high level.Thus, only to differ 2 signals in 1/4 cycle each other be A phase signals and B phase signals to detecting unit 80 output phases.
Controller 300 is counted the pulse of A phase signals or B phase signals to the absolute position Z of axle 30, the initial value of rotating speed R.Obtain the absolute position Z of the axle 30 of rotation, the currency of rotating speed R through this counting.Controller 300 is controlled servomotor 20 according to the currency of these absolute positions Z, rotating speed R.
In addition, on the other hand, even if under the situation of carrying out set initial value replacement means, controller 300 is also stored the absolute position Z of axle 30, the initial value of rotating speed R.The incremented/decremented counting is carried out in the pulse of 300 pairs of A phase signals of controller and B phase signals.Controller 300 is obtained the absolute position Z of the axle 30 of rotation, the currency of rotating speed R through this counting.Controller 300 is controlled servomotor 20 according to the currency of these absolute positions Z, rotating speed R.
As above illustrated as, the cell encoder of this embodiment 40 detects from being formed at driving gear 50, and the light of each optical rail 53,54,63,64,73,74 of the follower gear 60 that meshes with driving gear 50 and follower gear 70.Thus, cell encoder 40 is differentiated the absolute position Z (anglec of rotation) of the rotating speed R of axle 30.Therefore, because any follower gear 60,70 all directly meshes with driving gear 50, thus can prevent the erroneous detection that caused by the accumulation of the backlash of gear etc., and can make miniaturization such as cell encoder 40.
In addition; Because make all follower gears be directly connected in driving gear; And be not that a plurality of follower gears are connected in series together, so compare, there is not the accumulation of the backlash of gear with the existing cell encoder that a plurality of subordinate gears are connected in series together.Therefore, compare with the gear of the existing cell encoder of the rotating speed sensing range with same degree, the gear of cell encoder 40 need not that kind critically form.Its result can reduce manufacturing cost.
In addition, because can only detect rotating speed R, so can need not battery and storer with driving gear 50 and 2 follower gears 60,70.
In addition, in this embodiment, the absolute position Z that rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 is thinner than the number of teeth of driving gear 50 according to resolution, and the number of teeth numbering of differentiation driving gear 50 switches to the timing of next number of teeth numbering.Rotating speed arithmetical unit 111 regularly switches follower gear 60,70 number of teeth numbering separately according to this.Thus,, also can make all gear meshing state consistencies of driving gear 50, follower gear 60,70 even if use the bigger gear of backlash, thus there is not the situation of number of teeth numbering read error, thus can obtain high reliability.
In addition, in this embodiment, because follower gear 60 and follower gear 70 direct and driving gear 50 engagements, so can make the number of gear considerably less, and can make thickness (size that the X axle side increases progressively) attenuation of cell encoder 40.Thus, can help to realize the miniaturization of motor unit 10.
In addition, the cell encoder 40 of this embodiment is with the LED illuminating part of LED illuminating part 82, detecting unit 90,100, reaches the scrambler that fluorescence detector 83,84,93,94,103,104 is installed in the catoptrics formula on the same encoder substrate 41.Therefore, can make the thickness attenuation of cell encoder 40.Thus, can help to realize the miniaturization and the cost degradation of motor unit 10.
In addition, in this embodiment, the driving gear 50 that is used to export A phase signals and B phase signals is to form greater than the mode of follower gear 60,70 with its diameter.Only be used for the number of teeth is numbered the follower gear the 60, the 70th that carries out computing, form less than the mode of driving gear 50 with its diameter.Thus, can form essential high-resolution optical rail 53,54 with big diameter, and the size (size of Y direction and Z-direction) of cell encoder 40 is dwindled.Thus, can help to realize the miniaturization of motor unit 10.
In addition, in this embodiment, absolute position arithmetical unit 86 only selects to detect the output of stable catoptrical sensor element from 512 CMOS image sensor elements of fluorescence detector 84.Thus, but the absolute position Z of computing high reliability.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the number of teeth (23) of the number of teeth (24) of the tooth portion 61 of the number of teeth of the tooth portion 51 of driving gear 50 (41), follower gear 60, the tooth portion 71 of follower gear 70 is to form with the mode of the relation that becomes mutual exclusion.Yet, being not limited thereto, the number of teeth separately also can not be the relation of mutual exclusion.But, and the situation of non-exclusive relation under, the like combinations meeting of the number of teeth numbering under the same rotational speed increases, and corresponding conversion table becomes big, so the relation of mutual exclusion preferably.
In addition, in this embodiment, under the situation with the power connection of actuator system, and under the situation of carrying out initial value replacement means, controller 300 stores the absolute position Z of axle 30, the initial value of rotating speed R.The pulse of 300 pairs of A phase signals of controller or B phase signals is counted, and obtains the absolute position Z of the axle 30 of rotation, the currency of rotating speed R through this counting.Yet, be not limited thereto, also can whenever just store the absolute position Z of axle 30, the initial value of rotating speed R at a distance from the set time.In addition, also can store the absolute position Z of axle 30, the initial value of rotating speed R all the time.
In addition, in this embodiment, will with the corresponding signal of absolute position Z and with the corresponding signal of rotating speed R integrate gained signal, and A phase signals and B phase signals integrate the signal of gained as parallel signal and output from line driver 122.Yet, be not limited thereto, also can be used as serial signal and export.
In addition, as shown in Figure 9, the detecting unit 80 of above-mentioned embodiment will directly export output unit 120 to from A phase signals, the B phase signals of fluorescence detector 83.Yet, be not limited thereto, shown in figure 12, also configurable dispenser 88 (interpolator), and this dispenser 88 of process exports A phase signals, B phase signals to output unit 120.In the case, the resolution of A phase signals, B phase signals is improved.
In addition, in this embodiment, absolute position arithmetical unit 86,96,106 is with reference to the combination and the absolute position Z of the output signal of the sensor element of being stored in the expression storage part 0, α 0, β 0The form of corresponding relation, and according to the output signal of the selected sensor element of fluorescence detector 84,94,104 and to absolute position Z 0, α 0, β 0Carry out computing.Yet, be not limited thereto, also can use shift register (LFSR (linear feedback shift register)) to come to absolute position Z 0, α 0, β 0Carry out computing.
In addition, in this embodiment, using has servomotor 20, but also can replace servomotor 20 certainly and the use pulse motor.
In addition, in this embodiment, using has the detection method of optical profile type, but utilizes electrostatic capacitive or magnetic-type etc. also can constitute identical functions certainly.
