Description

本発明はN−S極に着磁したマグネットロータに電磁コイルと連結した磁気誘導部材を対向配置し、この電磁コイルに正逆電流を印加することによって所定角度範囲でロータを往復動する電磁アクチュエータに係わり、デジタルカメラその他の光学機器に組み込まれ、
シャッタ、絞り装置或いはオートフォーカス機構の駆動装置として用いられる電磁アクチュエータ及びこれを用いた光量調整装置に関する。
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator in which a magnetic induction member connected to an electromagnetic coil is opposed to a magnet rotor magnetized on an NS pole, and the rotor is reciprocated in a predetermined angle range by applying forward and reverse currents to the electromagnetic coil. Incorporated into digital cameras and other optical equipment,
The present invention relates to an electromagnetic actuator used as a driving device for a shutter, a diaphragm device or an autofocus mechanism, and a light amount adjusting device using the electromagnetic actuator.

一般にこの種の電磁アクチュエータはカメラ装置などの小型機器に組み込まれ比較的小さいトルクで変位量の小さい機能部品を駆動するものとして広く用いられている。例えばカメラ装置ではシャッタ羽根、絞り羽根などの光量規制装置の駆動手段として用いられ、その構造はN−S極に着磁したマグネットロータをコイルに電流を印加することによって生起した磁界で所定角度往復回転するようにしている。そして、このコイルで生起する磁界はマグネットロータの周囲にコイルを巻回して永久磁石と対向させる構造と、コイルの中心に鉄芯を設けて、この鉄芯の一端をマグネットロータの磁極と対向させる構造がそれぞれ知られている。   In general, this type of electromagnetic actuator is incorporated in a small device such as a camera device and widely used to drive a functional component having a small displacement with a relatively small torque. For example, in a camera device, it is used as a driving means for a light quantity regulating device such as a shutter blade or a diaphragm blade, and its structure is reciprocated by a predetermined angle by a magnetic field generated by applying a current to a coil of a magnet rotor magnetized on an NS pole. I try to rotate. The magnetic field generated by this coil is a structure in which a coil is wound around the magnet rotor to face the permanent magnet, and an iron core is provided at the center of the coil, and one end of this iron core is opposed to the magnetic pole of the magnet rotor. Each structure is known.

本発明は後者の一端をマグネットロータの磁極に対向させた軟磁性部材の他端部にコイルを巻回するアクチュエータに関する。従来このようなアクチュエータは例えば特許文献1のように図13にその組立分解図を、図14に組立状態の断面図を示す構造が提案されている。つまり樹脂などの地板PH1の中央にマグネットロータPG1を回転自在に配置し、このロータの周囲に対向する一対の軟磁性部材(鉄芯部材)PF1、PF2が配置されている。そして、この鉄芯部材PF1、PF2にはそれぞれ図13に示すような2つの折曲片PF5、PF6とPF3、PF4が設けられ、一方の折曲片PF5(PF6)はマグネットロータPG1の外周面と少許の間隔を形成して対向する位置に配置され、他方の折曲片PF3(PF4)にはコイルPE1(PE2)の中心に嵌合する位置に配置されている。このコイルPE1(PE2)は地板PH1に取り付けたカバー枠PC1に固定されている。   The present invention relates to an actuator in which a coil is wound around the other end of a soft magnetic member having the latter one end opposed to a magnetic pole of a magnet rotor. Conventionally, such an actuator has been proposed as shown in FIG. 13, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, and FIG. 14 is a sectional view of the assembled state. That is, the magnet rotor PG1 is rotatably arranged at the center of the base plate PH1 such as resin, and a pair of soft magnetic members (iron core members) PF1 and PF2 facing the periphery of the rotor are arranged. The iron core members PF1, PF2 are provided with two bent pieces PF5, PF6 and PF3, PF4 as shown in FIG. 13, respectively, and one bent piece PF5 (PF6) is an outer peripheral surface of the magnet rotor PG1. And the other bent piece PF3 (PF4) is disposed at a position that fits in the center of the coil PE1 (PE2). The coil PE1 (PE2) is fixed to a cover frame PC1 attached to the ground plane PH1.

そこでこの2つのコイルに生起した磁界で磁気回路を構成する為にコイルPE1、PE2の中心に位置する折曲片PF3、PF4は連結ヨークPB1で磁気的に連結されている。この連結ヨークPB1はコ字状の軟磁性部材の折曲片で構成され、その先端部PB2とPB3とは各コイルの中心部でそれぞれ折曲片PF3及びPF4に接合され、この接合によって折曲片PF3、PF4に生起した磁界が連結ヨークPB1に伝わり、マグネットロータPG1の周囲に磁気回路を形成する。尚、図示PA1、PA2は連結ヨークとコイルを組み込んだカバー枠PC1を鉄芯部材を組み込んだ地板PH1に固定するビス部材である。

Therefore, in order to form a magnetic circuit with the magnetic fields generated in the two coils, the bent pieces PF3 and PF4 positioned at the centers of the coils PE1 and PE2 are magnetically coupled by the coupling yoke PB1. The connecting yoke PB1 is formed of a U-shaped bent piece of soft magnetic member, and the tip portions PB2 and PB3 are joined to the bent pieces PF3 and PF4 at the center of each coil, respectively, and bent by this joining. The magnetic field generated in the pieces PF3 and PF4 is transmitted to the connecting yoke PB1, and a magnetic circuit is formed around the magnet rotor PG1. PA1 and PA2 shown in the figure are screw members for fixing the cover frame PC1 incorporating the connecting yoke and the coil to the ground plane PH1 incorporating the iron core member.

上述のようにマグネットロータの磁極と対向する位置に一対の軟磁性部材を配置し、この部材にコイルを巻回してN−S相反する磁極部を形成する場合に、従来の構造では次の問題が発生する。   As described above, when a pair of soft magnetic members are arranged at positions facing the magnetic poles of the magnet rotor, and a coil is wound around these members to form magnetic pole portions having N-S conflicts, the conventional structure has the following problems. Will occur.

つまりロータの周囲に配置した一対の軟磁性部材でN−S磁気回路を構成する際に従来は前掲特許文献1のようにロータの外周に近接する位置に軟磁性部材の折曲片を設けて磁極部を形成し、この折曲片と距離を隔てた位置に第2の折曲片を設け、この折曲片の周囲にコイルを巻回している。そしてこのような軟磁性部材をロータの周囲に一対配置し、この2つの軟磁性部材をコ字状のヨーク(軟磁性部材)で連結して磁気回路を構成している。   That is, when an NS magnetic circuit is configured by a pair of soft magnetic members arranged around the rotor, conventionally, a bent piece of the soft magnetic member is provided at a position close to the outer periphery of the rotor as in Patent Document 1 described above. A magnetic pole part is formed, a second bent piece is provided at a distance from the bent piece, and a coil is wound around the bent piece. A pair of such soft magnetic members are arranged around the rotor, and the two soft magnetic members are connected by a U-shaped yoke (soft magnetic member) to form a magnetic circuit.

従って基板フレームに第1、第2の軟磁性部材を配置して磁極部を構成し、この2つの磁極部をヨーク部材で連結してロータの周囲に磁気回路を構成することとなり、3つの部材の連結でループ状の磁気回路が構成される。このような構成では必ず軟磁性部材の接合による連結、つまりコイルの中心に位置する軟磁性部材(鉄芯部材)とヨーク部材とは製造上一体に形成することが出来ない為、接合部の磁気抵抗が高く磁気効率が悪く磁気回路で得られる磁気トルクが得られない問題がある。これはロータの外周方向に磁極を形成する折曲片、更にその外側にコイルの巻回領域を隔ててコイルを巻回する折曲片を配置している為、この2つの軟磁性部材を連結して磁気回路を構成する為のヨーク部材を別部材で構成しなければコイルを嵌合することが出来ないことに由来する問題である。   Accordingly, the first and second soft magnetic members are arranged on the substrate frame to form a magnetic pole portion, and the two magnetic pole portions are connected by a yoke member to form a magnetic circuit around the rotor. A loop-shaped magnetic circuit is formed by connecting the two. In such a configuration, since the soft magnetic member (iron core member) positioned at the center of the coil and the yoke member cannot be integrally formed in the manufacture, the connection by the soft magnetic member is not necessarily produced. There is a problem that the magnetic torque obtained by the magnetic circuit cannot be obtained because of high resistance and poor magnetic efficiency. This is because the bent piece that forms the magnetic pole in the outer circumferential direction of the rotor and the bent piece that winds the coil across the winding area of the coil are arranged on the outer side. Thus, the problem arises from the fact that the coil cannot be fitted unless the yoke member for constituting the magnetic circuit is constituted by another member.

またその構造はロータを中心にその外周方向外側に軟磁性部材の折曲片(磁極部)とコイルを巻回する折曲片の順に配置されるから装置が大径、大型となることは当然であり、最新のデジタルカメラなどの小型装置には適さない。同時に従来のようにロータを核にしてその外周に磁極形成片(折曲片)、コイル及びコイル鉄芯(コイル巻回用の折曲片)を配置する構造では装置を小型化する為にはマグネットロータを小径に構成しなければならず、その制御も製造上の精度を確保することも困難である。これは例えば軟磁性部材の磁極形成部の位置、形状が製造上バラつきが生じた場合に円筒状のロータが小径のときには大径に比べその影響が大きく、またコイルに印加する制御電流にバラつきが生じた場合も同様となる為である。   Also, since the structure is arranged in the order of the bent piece (magnetic pole part) of the soft magnetic member and the bent piece around which the coil is wound on the outer side in the outer circumferential direction centering on the rotor, it is natural that the device becomes large in diameter and large. Therefore, it is not suitable for small devices such as the latest digital cameras. At the same time, in order to reduce the size of the apparatus in the conventional structure in which the rotor is the core and the magnetic pole forming piece (bending piece), the coil and the coil iron core (bending piece for winding the coil) are arranged on the outer periphery of the rotor The magnet rotor must be configured with a small diameter, and it is difficult to control and secure manufacturing accuracy. This is because, for example, when the position and shape of the magnetic pole forming portion of the soft magnetic member vary in production, the influence of the cylindrical rotor is small compared to the large diameter when the cylindrical rotor is small, and the control current applied to the coil varies. This is because when it occurs, the same applies.

そこで本発明は、励磁コイルに生起した磁界によってマグネットロータに回転力を付与する際に磁気回路の効率の向上を計り、小型で出力トルクの大きい電磁アクチュエータの提供をその課題とし、またこれを用いて小型かつコンパクトな光量調整装置の提供を課題としている。   Therefore, the present invention aims to improve the efficiency of the magnetic circuit when applying a rotational force to the magnet rotor by the magnetic field generated in the exciting coil, and to provide a small-sized electromagnetic actuator having a large output torque. An object is to provide a small and compact light amount adjustment device.

本発明は上記課題を解決するため以下の構成を採用する。
非磁性体から成る基板フレームと、この基板フレームに回動自在に支持され外周に磁極を有する円筒状のマグネットロータと、上記マグネットロータの磁極と対向する磁極を形成する一対の磁気誘導部材とを設け、上記一対の磁気誘導部材それぞれに磁気を生起する励磁コイルとを備える。尚、上記一対の磁気誘導部材は、両端部に先端折曲片を有する略コ字状の軟磁性部材で構成し、それぞれの先端折曲片は上記マグネットロータの回転軸方向に磁極形成部とコイル巻回部とを有する。
The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the above problems.
A non-magnetic substrate frame, a cylindrical magnet rotor rotatably supported on the substrate frame and having a magnetic pole on the outer periphery, and a pair of magnetic induction members forming a magnetic pole opposed to the magnetic pole of the magnet rotor And an exciting coil for generating magnetism in each of the pair of magnetic induction members. The pair of magnetic induction members are constituted by substantially U-shaped soft magnetic members having tip bent pieces at both ends, and each tip bent piece and a magnetic pole forming portion in the rotation axis direction of the magnet rotor. A coil winding portion.

上記励磁コイルを上記先端折曲片のコイル巻回部に配置し、上記マグネットロータを外周に形成された磁極と上記先端折曲片の磁極形成部とが間隙を形成して対向するように配置した。前記磁気誘導部材の磁極形成部を前記マグネットロータの回転軸を挟んで互いに対向配置し、この一対の磁極形成部はその一方と上記回転軸とを過ぎる直線に対し他方が所定角度変位した位置で上記マグネットロータと対向するように配置した。   The exciting coil is arranged in the coil winding portion of the tip bent piece, and the magnetic rotor is arranged so that the magnetic pole formed on the outer periphery and the magnetic pole forming portion of the tip bent piece face each other with a gap. did. The magnetic pole forming portions of the magnetic induction member are arranged opposite to each other across the rotating shaft of the magnet rotor, and the pair of magnetic pole forming portions is located at a position where the other is displaced by a predetermined angle with respect to a straight line passing through one of the rotating shafts. It arrange | positioned so that the said magnet rotor might be opposed.

そして前記基板フレームは合成樹脂材料で形成し、この基板フレームには前記マグネットロータの回転軸を支持する軸受孔と、前記磁気誘導部材の先端折曲片を貫通させる係合孔と、この係合孔の周囲に前記励磁コイルを巻廻するコイル枠を一体に形成する。   The board frame is made of a synthetic resin material. The board frame has a bearing hole for supporting the rotating shaft of the magnet rotor, an engagement hole for passing the tip bent piece of the magnetic induction member, and this engagement. A coil frame around which the exciting coil is wound is integrally formed around the hole.

本発明は基板フレームに回転自在に配置したマグネットロータの周囲に略コ字状の軟磁性部材を配置し、この部材両端の折曲片にロータの回転軸方向に沿って磁極形成部とコイル巻回部を設けることによって、ロータの外周に形成する一対の磁極を単一の軟磁性部材で構成することが可能である。従って従来のように複数の部材を接合して磁気回路を構成する場合に比べ、接合部に生ずる磁気的ロスが少なく、磁気トルクを最大限マグネットロータに作用させることが出来、効率の良い、アクチュエータの提供が可能である。   In the present invention, a substantially U-shaped soft magnetic member is arranged around a magnet rotor rotatably arranged on a substrate frame, and a magnetic pole forming portion and a coil winding are formed on the bent pieces at both ends of the member along the rotation axis direction of the rotor. By providing the turning portion, the pair of magnetic poles formed on the outer periphery of the rotor can be configured with a single soft magnetic member. Therefore, compared to the conventional case where a plurality of members are joined together to form a magnetic circuit, there is less magnetic loss at the joined portion, and the magnetic torque can be applied to the magnet rotor as much as possible. Can be provided.

また、磁気誘導部材はマグネットロータの回転軸方向に沿ってコイル巻回部と磁極形成部とを形成してあるから、この軸方向にコイルとマグネットロータが上下に重なって配置されることとなり、マグネットロータの外径を小さくすることなく装置の小型コンパクト化が可能であり、マグネットロータの外径が確保されることからその制御も容易である。   In addition, since the magnetic induction member forms the coil winding part and the magnetic pole forming part along the rotation axis direction of the magnet rotor, the coil and the magnet rotor are arranged so as to overlap each other in this axial direction. The apparatus can be reduced in size and size without reducing the outer diameter of the magnet rotor, and the outer diameter of the magnet rotor is secured, so that the control thereof is easy.

更に、本発明は磁気誘導部材をマグネットロータの周囲に所定の角度範囲で配置することにより装置非使用時にマグネットロータの磁極を磁気誘導部材の吸収作用でロータを開放域又は閉成域に保持することが可能となる。従って光量調整装置の羽根をクローズバネなどを用いることなく羽根を閉成状態又は開放状態に保持することが出来る。   Further, according to the present invention, the magnetic induction member is arranged in a predetermined angular range around the magnet rotor, so that the magnetic pole of the magnet rotor is held in the open region or the closed region by the absorption action of the magnetic induction member when the apparatus is not used. It becomes possible. Therefore, the blades of the light amount adjusting device can be held in a closed state or an open state without using a close spring or the like.

以下、図示の好適な実施の形態に基づいて本発明を詳述する。
図1は本発明の電磁アクチュエータを用いたカメラ用光量調整装置の斜視図であり、図2は電磁アクチュエータ装置の組立分解図を、図8はその組立状態の断面図である。
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a camera light amount adjusting device using an electromagnetic actuator of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the electromagnetic actuator device, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view of the assembled state.

まず図1に基づいて後述する電磁アクチュエータを用いたカメラ用光量調整装置について説明する。図示のものはシャッタ装置でカメラ装置のレンズ鏡筒に組込まれる地板(基板)SGと、この地板SGに配置されたシャッタ羽根SB1、SB2と、この羽根を開閉駆動する電磁アクチュエータAXとから構成されている。地板SGは中央に光路開口SG1を有する偏平な基板で、例えば樹脂材料のモールド成形で形成され、その外径は組込まれるカメラ装置などの鏡筒の形状に応じて構成する。特にこの地板外径を小さくすることによって小型機器例えば携帯電話などに組込むことが可能であり、また通常の撮影レンズなどの鏡筒は円筒形である関係上、この地板は外部に突出することのない円形状が好適とされている。   First, a camera light amount adjusting device using an electromagnetic actuator, which will be described later, will be described with reference to FIG. The illustrated one is composed of a ground plate (substrate) SG incorporated in a lens barrel of a camera device by a shutter device, shutter blades SB1 and SB2 arranged on the ground plate SG, and an electromagnetic actuator AX that drives the blade to open and close. ing. The base plate SG is a flat substrate having an optical path opening SG1 at the center, and is formed by molding of a resin material, for example, and the outer diameter is configured according to the shape of a lens barrel such as a camera device to be incorporated. In particular, by reducing the outer diameter of the main plate, it can be incorporated into a small device such as a mobile phone. In addition, since the lens barrel such as a normal photographing lens is cylindrical, the main plate protrudes to the outside. No circular shape is preferred.

そこで地板SGに形成された光路開口SG1にはその開口を開閉するシャッタ羽根SB1、SB2が配置される。この羽根は1枚或いは図示のように2枚、若しくはそれ以上の枚数で構成される。シャッタ羽根SB1、SB2はその基端部を地板SGに植設したピンSG2、SG3にそれぞれ回動自在に支持され羽根先端部が光路開口SG1を開放及び遮閉する。この羽根は地板SGにピンで回動自在に配置する他、開口SG1を過るようにスライド(摺動)自在に配置しても良い。このように配置された羽根は、駆動装置に連結されるが、図示SB3、SB4は羽根の回動軌跡と略々直交する方向に形成されたスリット溝であり、後述するロータの駆動アームAB4が嵌合される。   Therefore, shutter blades SB1 and SB2 for opening and closing the opening are disposed in the optical path opening SG1 formed in the base plate SG. This blade is composed of one sheet or two or more sheets as shown. The shutter blades SB1 and SB2 are rotatably supported by pins SG2 and SG3 whose base ends are planted on the base plate SG, respectively, and the blade tips open and close the optical path opening SG1. The blades may be arranged on the base plate SG so as to be rotatable by a pin, or may be slidable so as to pass through the opening SG1. The blades arranged in this way are connected to the driving device. SB3 and SB4 shown in the figure are slit grooves formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotation trajectory of the blades, and a rotor driving arm AB4 to be described later is provided. Mated.

そこで駆動装置について図2に基づき説明する。
本発明の電磁駆動装置は基板フレームAEとこの基板フレームに回動自在に軸支されたマグネットロータABと、このマグネットロータの着磁極と対向する位置に磁極(磁気回路)を形成する磁気誘導部材AFと、この磁気誘導部材に磁気を付与する励磁コイルADとで構成される。
The drive device will be described with reference to FIG.
The electromagnetic drive device of the present invention includes a substrate frame AE, a magnet rotor AB pivotally supported on the substrate frame, and a magnetic induction member that forms a magnetic pole (magnetic circuit) at a position facing the magnetic pole of the magnet rotor. It is comprised by AF and exciting coil AD which provides magnetism to this magnetic induction member.

基板フレームAEは上記各構成部品を組込む形状に構成され、上下一対のプレート部材の間に各構成部品を組込むようにする。この基板フレームAEは樹脂などの非磁性材料で形成し、またフレーム構成はその一方を前述の光量調整装置の基板で兼用しても良い。図示のものは下部フレームAEと上部フレームAAで構成され、上部フレームAAは周囲に側壁を備えたカバー部材で構成してある。   The substrate frame AE is configured to incorporate the above-described components, and each component is assembled between a pair of upper and lower plate members. The substrate frame AE may be formed of a non-magnetic material such as resin, and one of the frame configurations may be used as the substrate of the light amount adjusting device described above. The illustrated one includes a lower frame AE and an upper frame AA, and the upper frame AA includes a cover member having a side wall around it.

次にマグネットロータABは中央に回転軸AB1を有する円筒形状の永久磁石AB2で構成する。永久磁石AB2はその外周を2極(N−S極)に分極着磁し、その中心に回転軸AB1を一体に設け、この回転軸には駆動アームAB3を一体形成する。このマグネットロータABは例えば磁性材料を焼結加工で中空円筒形状に焼成し、これに回転軸AB1と駆動アームAB3とを樹脂のインサート成形で一体形成する。そして外周を2極に分極着磁してN−S極を形成する。また駆動アームAB3には前述のシャッタ羽根SB1、SB2に形成したスリット溝SB3、SB4に係合する駆動アームAB4を一体に設ける。   Next, the magnet rotor AB is constituted by a cylindrical permanent magnet AB2 having a rotation axis AB1 at the center. The outer periphery of the permanent magnet AB2 is polarized and magnetized to two poles (N-S pole), and a rotary shaft AB1 is integrally provided at the center thereof, and a drive arm AB3 is integrally formed on the rotary shaft. In the magnet rotor AB, for example, a magnetic material is fired into a hollow cylindrical shape by sintering, and a rotary shaft AB1 and a drive arm AB3 are integrally formed thereon by resin insert molding. Then, the outer periphery is polarized and magnetized into two poles to form an NS pole. The drive arm AB3 is integrally provided with a drive arm AB4 that engages with the slit grooves SB3 and SB4 formed in the shutter blades SB1 and SB2.

このように構成したマグネットロータABは基板フレームに回動自在に軸承する。図示のものは下部フレームAEに軸受孔AE1が上部フレームAAに軸受孔AA2が設けてあり、ロータABの回転軸AB1の両端をこの各軸受孔に嵌合してある。また前述の基板フレームを構成する下部フレームAEは樹脂などの非磁性材料で形成され、コイル枠AE4、AE5と突起AE2、AE3が一体に設けてある。このコイル枠AE4、AE5には後述する励磁コイルが巻回され、突起AE2、AE3には励磁コイルの保護板ACが係止される。この下部フレームAEには次の構造の磁気誘導部材AFが取付けられている。   The magnet rotor AB configured as described above is rotatably supported on the substrate frame. The illustrated one has a bearing hole AE1 in the lower frame AE and a bearing hole AA2 in the upper frame AA, and both ends of the rotation shaft AB1 of the rotor AB are fitted into the bearing holes. The lower frame AE constituting the above-described substrate frame is formed of a nonmagnetic material such as resin, and the coil frames AE4 and AE5 and the protrusions AE2 and AE3 are integrally provided. The coil frames AE4 and AE5 are wound with exciting coils which will be described later, and the protective plates AC of the exciting coils are locked to the protrusions AE2 and AE3. A magnetic induction member AF having the following structure is attached to the lower frame AE.

この磁気誘導部材AFは基板フレームに回動自在に取付けられたマグネットロータABの磁極と少許の間隙(磁気ギャップ)を形成して対向する2つの磁極形成部AF1a、AF2aとコイル巻回部AF1b、AF2bを有する略コ字状の軟磁性部材で構成される。   The magnetic induction member AF has two magnetic pole forming portions AF1a, AF2a and a coil winding portion AF1b which are opposed to each other by forming a small gap (magnetic gap) with the magnetic pole of the magnet rotor AB rotatably attached to the substrate frame. It is comprised with the substantially U-shaped soft magnetic member which has AF2b.

つまり鉄などによる軟磁性材の板状部材の両端を折り曲げて両端部に先端折曲片AF1、AF2を設ける。この一対の折曲片AF1、AF2はマグネットロータの外径より若干大きい間隔で形成され下部フレームAEに形成した係合孔AE8、AE9(図8参照)に嵌合される。この係合孔AE8、AE9はコイル枠AE4、AE5の中心に設けられている。   That is, both ends of a soft magnetic material plate member made of iron or the like are bent to provide the end bent pieces AF1 and AF2 at both ends. The pair of bent pieces AF1 and AF2 are formed at intervals slightly larger than the outer diameter of the magnet rotor and are fitted into engagement holes AE8 and AE9 (see FIG. 8) formed in the lower frame AE. The engagement holes AE8 and AE9 are provided at the centers of the coil frames AE4 and AE5.

また磁気誘導部材AFには折曲片AF1とAF2とを連結する連結部AF3を有している。従って折曲片AF1の磁極形成部AF1aがN極のときには他方の折曲片AF2の磁極形成部AF2aはS極となるように磁気回路が構成される。また折曲片AF1、AF2にはロータの回転軸AB1に沿ってコイル巻回部AF1b、AF2bと磁極形成部AF1a、AF2aが配置されることとなる。このとき図8に示すように下部フレームAEとマグネットロータABとの間には図示Lのスペースが設けられ、このスペースが励磁コイルを巻回する空間となる。   The magnetic induction member AF has a connecting portion AF3 for connecting the bent pieces AF1 and AF2. Therefore, the magnetic circuit is configured so that when the magnetic pole forming part AF1a of the bent piece AF1 has the N pole, the magnetic pole forming part AF2a of the other bent piece AF2 has the S pole. Further, coil winding portions AF1b and AF2b and magnetic pole forming portions AF1a and AF2a are arranged along the rotation axis AB1 of the rotor in the bent pieces AF1 and AF2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, a space L shown in the figure is provided between the lower frame AE and the magnet rotor AB, and this space becomes a space around which the exciting coil is wound.

そこで励磁コイルADは中央にコイル枠AE4、AE5に嵌合する孔AD1を有し、図2円周方向に巻回されたコイル線で構成され、このコイルがコイル枠AE4、AE5に嵌合支持される。するとこのコイル枠を介して折曲片AF1、AF2には外周にコイルADが巻回され、コイルへの通電によって生起した磁界で折曲片AF1、AF2は磁化される。
このコイルによる磁化作用で折曲片先端部の磁極形成部AF1a、AF2aにはN−S対向する磁極が形成される。図示ACは励磁コイルADの保護板で非磁性材料で折曲片AF1、AF2を挿通する孔AC1を備え、前述の下部フレームAEに形成した突起AE2、AE3上に当接した状態で上部フレームAAの周側壁に嵌合保持される。
Therefore, the exciting coil AD has a hole AD1 that fits in the coil frames AE4 and AE5 in the center, and is composed of a coil wire wound in the circumferential direction of FIG. 2, and this coil is fitted and supported on the coil frames AE4 and AE5. Is done. Then, the coil AD is wound around the outer periphery of the bent pieces AF1 and AF2 through the coil frame, and the bent pieces AF1 and AF2 are magnetized by the magnetic field generated by energizing the coils.
Due to the magnetizing action of this coil, magnetic poles facing NS are formed in the magnetic pole forming portions AF1a and AF2a at the tips of the bent pieces. The illustrated AC is a protective plate for the exciting coil AD and is provided with a hole AC1 through which the bent pieces AF1 and AF2 are inserted by a nonmagnetic material, and is in contact with the projections AE2 and AE3 formed on the lower frame AE. It is fitted and held on the peripheral side wall.

次にかかる構成のアクチュエータの組立方法を説明する。下部フレームAEの係合孔AE8、AE9に磁気誘導部材AFの折曲片AF1、AF2を圧入する。するとこの折曲片は下部フレームAEと一体に形成したコイル枠AE4、AE5の中心に形成された係合孔AE8、AE9で保護され磁気誘導部材AFは下部フレームAEに一体に固定される。次いでコイル枠AE4、AE5に別途巻線機で巻回した励磁コイルADの孔AD1を嵌合して組込み、その上に保護板ACを同様にその孔AC1をコイル枠AE4、AE5に嵌合して組込む。そこでこのコイルADと保護板ACとを例えば接着剤でコイル枠AE4、AE5に接合する。   Next, an assembling method of the actuator having such a configuration will be described. The bending pieces AF1 and AF2 of the magnetic induction member AF are press-fitted into the engagement holes AE8 and AE9 of the lower frame AE. Then, the bent piece is protected by the engagement holes AE8 and AE9 formed at the center of the coil frames AE4 and AE5 formed integrally with the lower frame AE, and the magnetic induction member AF is fixed integrally to the lower frame AE. Next, the hole AD1 of the exciting coil AD wound separately by the winding machine is fitted into the coil frames AE4 and AE5 and incorporated, and the protective plate AC is similarly fitted to the coil frames AE4 and AE5. Incorporate. Therefore, the coil AD and the protection plate AC are joined to the coil frames AE4 and AE5 with an adhesive, for example.

次にマグネットロータABの回転軸AB1の下端部を下部フレームAEの軸受孔AE1に嵌合し、この回転軸AB1の上端部を上部フレームAAの軸受孔AA2に嵌合する。このとき上部フレームAAは開口部AA1から駆動アームAB3が外部に突出するように組込み、下部フレームAEと一体化する。   Next, the lower end portion of the rotating shaft AB1 of the magnet rotor AB is fitted into the bearing hole AE1 of the lower frame AE, and the upper end portion of the rotating shaft AB1 is fitted into the bearing hole AA2 of the upper frame AA. At this time, the upper frame AA is assembled so that the drive arm AB3 protrudes from the opening AA1, and is integrated with the lower frame AE.

この上部フレームと下部フレームの結合はビス止め、或いは一方に突起、他方にこの突起に係合する凹部を形成し弾性変形を利用して両者を結合・離脱させるようにする。また基板AEに固定された励磁コイルADはコイルの巻き始めと巻き終わりの口出線は互いに流れる電流の方向が逆になるように端子AE6、AE7にハンダ付けする。コイルの口出線は図9にAE8、AE9で示す口出端子取付用の孔に仮止めする。これによって作動時の磁極形成部AF1a、AF2aには一方にN極、他方にS極が生起される。   The upper frame and the lower frame are joined by screws or by forming a protrusion on one side and a recess engaging the protrusion on the other side, and using elastic deformation to connect / disconnect both. Further, the exciting coil AD fixed to the substrate AE is soldered to the terminals AE6 and AE7 so that the direction of the current flowing between the lead wires at the beginning and end of winding of the coil are opposite to each other. The lead wire of the coil is temporarily fixed in the lead terminal mounting holes indicated by AE8 and AE9 in FIG. As a result, an N pole is generated on one side and an S pole is generated on the other side in the magnetic pole forming portions AF1a and AF2a during operation.

次に、図3は図2の状態で組み上げたアクチュエータAXを上方から見た平面図を示すもので、上部フレームAAの開口部AA1から装置外に突出したマグネットロータABの駆動アームAB3が実線位置を境に時計方向の第1の位置O1(シャッタ全開の開放位置)と半時計方向の第2の位置O2(シャッタ全閉の閉鎖位置)との間で往復回転する。尚、図11及び図12で詳述するが、図示実線で示すマグネットロータABの中間位置は説明のために示したもので、アクチュエータAXの励磁コイルADが無通電状態の場合には、無通電状態になった時点でのマグネットロータABの駆動アームAB3の位置により第1の位置O1(シャッタ全開の開放位置)か第2の位置O2(シャッタ全閉の閉鎖位置)に保持され、この実線で示す中間位置はいずれかの位置への通過状態でこの位置に停止することは無い。   Next, FIG. 3 is a plan view of the actuator AX assembled in the state of FIG. 2 as viewed from above. The driving arm AB3 of the magnet rotor AB protruding from the opening AA1 of the upper frame AA to the outside of the apparatus is in a solid line position. Rotating back and forth between a first position O1 in the clockwise direction (open position when the shutter is fully open) and a second position O2 (counter position where the shutter is fully closed) in the counterclockwise direction. As will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12, the intermediate position of the magnet rotor AB indicated by the solid line in the drawing is shown for explanation, and when the exciting coil AD of the actuator AX is in a non-energized state, no current is supplied. Depending on the position of the drive arm AB3 of the magnet rotor AB at the time of the state, it is held at the first position O1 (open position where the shutter is fully open) or the second position O2 (close position where the shutter is fully closed). The intermediate position shown does not stop at this position when passing to any position.

次に、図4はそのマグネットロータABの永久磁石AB2の中央部位置で切断した平面断面図であって、磁気誘導部材AFの一対の折曲片AF1、AF2の装置内における配置関係は、折曲片AF2の中央部位とマグネットロータABの回転軸AB1の中心を通る基準直線を基準に反時計方向に角度θ(≒18°)変位した位置に折曲片AF1が配置されている。また、マグネットロータABの永久磁石AB2は図示の符号N、Sで示す位置が極頂部でこの方向にN−Sの2極着磁されている。   Next, FIG. 4 is a plan sectional view cut at the center position of the permanent magnet AB2 of the magnet rotor AB. The arrangement relationship of the pair of bending pieces AF1 and AF2 of the magnetic induction member AF in the apparatus is as follows. The bent piece AF1 is arranged at a position displaced by an angle θ (≈18 °) in the counterclockwise direction with reference to a reference straight line passing through the central portion of the bent piece AF2 and the center of the rotation axis AB1 of the magnet rotor AB. In addition, the permanent magnet AB2 of the magnet rotor AB is magnetized in the direction indicated by the symbols N and S shown in the drawing at the top of the pole, and is N-S two-pole magnetized in this direction.

そして、図示の様な中間位置から仮に永久磁石AB2のN磁極部が時計方向に多少でも変位することで、永久磁石AB2のN磁極は折曲片AF1がこの時点でS磁極に励磁コイルAD(図2、図5参照)により励磁され、また折曲片AF2が逆にN磁極に励磁コイルADにより励磁されており、磁気的に折曲片AF2に反発し折曲片AF1に吸引され、マグネットロータABは時計方向に引き続き回転する。また、逆に中間位置から仮に永久磁石AB2のN磁極部が反時計方向に多少でも変位することで、永久磁石AB2のN磁極は折曲片AF1がこの時点でN磁極に励磁コイルADにより励磁され、また折曲片AF2が逆にS磁極に励磁コイルADにより励磁されており、磁気的に折曲片AF1に反発し折曲片AF2に吸引され、マグネットロータABは反時計方向に引き続き回転する。   Then, if the N magnetic pole portion of the permanent magnet AB2 is slightly displaced in the clockwise direction from the intermediate position as shown in the figure, the N magnetic pole of the permanent magnet AB2 is turned into the exciting coil AD ( 2 and FIG. 5), and the bent piece AF2 is excited to the N magnetic pole by the exciting coil AD, and magnetically repels the bent piece AF2 and is attracted to the bent piece AF1. The rotor AB continues to rotate clockwise. On the other hand, if the N magnetic pole portion of the permanent magnet AB2 is slightly displaced counterclockwise from the intermediate position, the bent piece AF1 of the permanent magnet AB2 is excited to the N magnetic pole by the exciting coil AD at this time. On the other hand, the bent piece AF2 is excited on the S magnetic pole by the exciting coil AD, magnetically repels the bent piece AF1 and is attracted to the bent piece AF2, and the magnet rotor AB continues to rotate counterclockwise. To do.

次に図11に基づいてマグネットロータABの磁極と磁気誘導部材AFの折曲片AF1、AF2との位置関係を示す。   Next, the positional relationship between the magnetic poles of the magnet rotor AB and the bent pieces AF1 and AF2 of the magnetic induction member AF will be described with reference to FIG.

まずマグネットロータABは図中N−Sで示す位置を極頂点に着磁され、図示反時計方向に角度α1、時計方向に角度α2の範囲内で往復動自在に基板フレームAEに取付けられている。このロータの作動角度は例えば図2に示す上部フレームAAに形成した開口部AA1で駆動アームAB3の駆動アームAB4を規制することによって行う。図示のものは角度α1、α2をそれぞれ約20°、全体の作動角度αを約40°に設定してある。   First, the magnet rotor AB is magnetized with the position indicated by NS in the drawing as the pole apex, and is attached to the substrate frame AE so as to be able to reciprocate within the range of angle α1 in the counterclockwise direction and angle α2 in the clockwise direction. . The operating angle of the rotor is determined by, for example, restricting the drive arm AB4 of the drive arm AB3 at the opening AA1 formed in the upper frame AA shown in FIG. In the illustrated example, the angles α1 and α2 are set to about 20 °, respectively, and the overall operating angle α is set to about 40 °.

そして折曲片AF1、AF2はその一方とロータの回転軸とを結ぶ直線に対し他方が所定角度θ変位した位置に配置してある。図示の角度θは約18°に設定してある。これはロータのN−S着磁方向と回転軸AB1と折曲片AF1、AF2の磁極形成部AF1a、AF2aとを結ぶ方向とが往復作動域内で一致することが無いように配置することによって駆動アームの作動端でディテントトルクをロータに作用する為である。   The bent pieces AF1 and AF2 are arranged at positions where the other is displaced by a predetermined angle θ with respect to a straight line connecting one of them and the rotation axis of the rotor. The illustrated angle θ is set to about 18 °. This is driven by arranging the rotor in such a way that the NS magnetization direction of the rotor and the direction connecting the rotation axis AB1 and the magnetic pole forming portions AF1a and AF2a of the bent pieces AF1 and AF2 do not coincide with each other in the reciprocating operation region. This is because detent torque is applied to the rotor at the working end of the arm.

このように一対の磁気誘導部材をロータの周囲に従来は180°隔てた位置に配置するのに対し、図示のように180度より狭い角度(例えば160度)に配置することによって左右往復動するロータの右限位置と磁極形成部AF1aとの距離が短くなり、コイルの無通電状態でロータは磁気誘導部材によって右限域に保持される。ロータの左限域でも同様に磁極形成部AF2aの左限域に保持されることとなる。   In this way, a pair of magnetic induction members are conventionally arranged around the rotor at positions separated by 180 °, whereas they are reciprocated left and right by being arranged at an angle smaller than 180 degrees (for example, 160 degrees) as shown in the figure. The distance between the right limit position of the rotor and the magnetic pole forming portion AF1a is shortened, and the rotor is held in the right limit region by the magnetic induction member when the coil is not energized. Similarly, the left limit region of the rotor is held in the left limit region of the magnetic pole forming part AF2a.

図12は図11で示すマグネットロータABの中心を通るX−X断面で、本発明の磁気回路構成を説明するための配置図で、磁気誘導部材AFの一対の折曲片AF1、AF2は連結部AF3の両側端から延在した端部を折り曲げ加工により紙面上方略直角に折り曲げ形成され、同時にその連結部AF3は面打ち加工で板厚が極力薄く成形されている。尚、折り曲げ加工により一対の折曲片AF1、AF2と連結部AF3が一体加工する他、鋳造加工で一体成形しても良い。   FIG. 12 is an XX cross section passing through the center of the magnet rotor AB shown in FIG. 11 and is an arrangement diagram for explaining the magnetic circuit configuration of the present invention. The pair of bending pieces AF1 and AF2 of the magnetic induction member AF are connected to each other. End portions extending from both side ends of the portion AF3 are bent at a substantially right angle above the plane of the paper by bending, and at the same time, the connecting portion AF3 is formed to have a plate thickness as thin as possible by surface punching. The pair of bent pieces AF1, AF2 and the connecting portion AF3 are integrally processed by bending, or may be integrally formed by casting.
