Description
本発明は、回転運動と直動運動を行う軸の回転位置と直動位置を同時に検出する位置検出装置およびそれを備えた回転直動モータに関する。
The present invention relates to a position detection device that simultaneously detects a rotational position and a linear motion position of a shaft that performs a rotational motion and a linear motion, and a rotary linear motion motor including the position detection device.
従来のモータ軸の回転運動と軸方向への運動(以下、直動運動)を同時に行う回転直動モータの位置検出装置は、回転運動と直動運動の位置検出を別々の装置で行うようにしていた。（例えば、特許文献１、２参照）。 A conventional rotary linear motor position detection device that simultaneously performs rotational motion of the motor shaft and axial motion (hereinafter referred to as linear motion) is configured to detect the position of rotational motion and linear motion separately. It was. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2).
図１４は特許文献１に記載された回転直動モータの回転に関する位置検出部の側断面図である。
図において、モータ部１では、モータ軸９が回転運動を行うような構成をしており、回転用の位置検出部２は、直動軸受３が回転軸受４に回転自在に取り付け支持されている。従って、直動軸受３はモータ軸９と同期回転し、モータ軸９の軸方向の移動が可能となっている。回転信号発生部５は直動軸受３に同期回転してモータ軸の回転信号を発する。回転信号検出部６は、回転信号発生部５からの信号を定位置で受けてモータ軸９の回転位置を検出する。
FIG. 14 is a side cross-sectional view of a position detection unit relating to rotation of the rotary linear motor described in Patent Document 1.
In the figure, the motor unit 1 is configured such that the motor shaft 9 performs a rotational motion, and the position detecting unit 2 for rotation is supported by the linear motion bearing 3 being rotatably attached to the rotary bearing 4. . Therefore, the linear motion bearing 3 rotates synchronously with the motor shaft 9 so that the motor shaft 9 can move in the axial direction. The rotation signal generator 5 rotates in synchronization with the linear motion bearing 3 and generates a rotation signal of the motor shaft. The rotation signal detector 6 receives the signal from the rotation signal generator 5 at a fixed position and detects the rotation position of the motor shaft 9.
また図１５は回転直動モータの直動に関する位置検出部の側断面図を示したものである。図において、モータ部１では、モータ軸９が直動運動を行うような構成をしており、直動用の位置検出部２では、直動軸受３が回転軸受４を介してモータ軸９の下端部を支持している。直動信号発生部７はモータ軸９の直動運動に対してのみ直動軸受３と同期して移動することにより、モータ軸９の直動信号を発する。直動信号検出部８は、直動信号発生部７からの信号を受けて、モータ軸９の直動位置を検出する。 FIG. 15 is a side sectional view of the position detection unit related to the linear motion of the rotary linear motion motor. In the figure, the motor unit 1 is configured such that the motor shaft 9 performs a linear motion. In the linear motion position detection unit 2, the linear motion bearing 3 is connected to the lower end of the motor shaft 9 via the rotary bearing 4. Supporting the department. The linear motion signal generator 7 generates a linear motion signal of the motor shaft 9 by moving in synchronization with the linear motion bearing 3 only with respect to the linear motion of the motor shaft 9. The linear motion signal detection unit 8 receives a signal from the linear motion signal generation unit 7 and detects the linear motion position of the motor shaft 9.
従来の回転直動モータでは、回転位置と直動位置を同時に検出する場合、モータ軸９を長く延ばし、図１４と図１５に示した回転用と直動用の位置検出部２を直動方向に並べて構成する必要があった。
このように、従来の回転直動モータは、モータ軸の回転・直動位置を検出する装置を別々に組み合わせて構成していたため、位置検出装置が大きくなるという問題があった。
さらに、モータ軸の回転・直動運動がそれぞれ、回転・直動位置の検出に干渉しないよう、位置検出部に回転軸受と直動軸受を組み合わせて使用するため、回転軸受と直動軸受の組み立て精度や軸受のあそびの影響により検出誤差が発生するという問題があった。
本発明はこのような問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、小型かつ精度の良い位置検出装置およびそれを備えた回転直動モータを提供することを目的とする。
As described above, since the conventional rotary / linear motion motor is configured by separately combining devices for detecting the rotation / linear motion position of the motor shaft, there is a problem that the position detection device becomes large.
In addition, since the rotation and linear motion of the motor shaft does not interfere with the detection of the rotation and linear motion position, respectively, the position detector is used in combination with a rotary bearing and linear motion bearing. There was a problem that a detection error occurred due to the influence of accuracy and play of the bearing.
The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a small and accurate position detection device and a rotary linear motion motor including the same.

In addition, the detection signals are arranged so that the signals are 90 degrees out of phase. Reference numeral 16 denotes a motor shaft, which is supported so as to be capable of rotating and linear motion. However, the support mechanism is omitted here. The frustum-shaped permanent magnet 15 can be formed by using, for example, a sintered magnet using a powder magnetic core material or a flexible bonded magnet obtained by crushing a magnet such as a ferrite magnet and kneading it into rubber or plastic. .
図２は図１のＡ−Ａ’における磁石の断面と磁化方向を示したものである。
磁石１５を２極としているので、第１の磁界検出素子１４１と第２の磁界検出素子１４２の検出信号をモータ軸の回転に対して９０度位相のずれた信号とするために、２つの磁界検出素子をそれぞれ機械角で９０度離れた位置に配置する。
本実施例が従来の実施例と異なる点は、これまで別々の検出装置を用いて検出していた回転方向と直動方向の位置検出を、２個の磁界検出素子を用いて回転方向と直動方向の位置を同時に検出する点である。
本実施例の動作について説明する。図３は軸の回転位置と直動位置に対する磁界検出素子の検出磁束密度の変化を示したものである。軸の回転運動に対して磁界検出素子の検出磁束密度は正弦波状に変化し、軸の直動運動に対しては、検出磁束密度は直線的に変化する。図４は回転方向の位置をある位置に固定して、直動方向の位置を変化させた時の磁束密度の振幅の変化を模式的に示したものである。

FIG. 2 shows a cross section and a magnetization direction of the magnet at AA ′ in FIG.
Since the magnet 15 has two poles, two magnetic fields are used in order to make the detection signals of the first magnetic field detection element 141 and the second magnetic field detection element 142 out of phase by 90 degrees with respect to the rotation of the motor shaft. The detection elements are respectively arranged at positions separated by 90 degrees in mechanical angle.
The difference between the present embodiment and the conventional embodiment is that the position detection in the rotational direction and the linear motion direction, which have been detected by using different detection devices so far, is performed by using two magnetic field detection elements. This is the point where the position in the moving direction is detected simultaneously.
The operation of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 shows changes in the detected magnetic flux density of the magnetic field detecting element with respect to the rotational position and the linear motion position of the shaft. The detected magnetic flux density of the magnetic field detecting element changes sinusoidally with respect to the rotational movement of the shaft, and the detected magnetic flux density changes linearly with respect to the linear motion of the shaft. FIG. 4 schematically shows changes in the magnetic flux density amplitude when the position in the rotational direction is fixed at a certain position and the position in the linear motion direction is changed.
If the detection range of the position z in the linear motion direction is Z1 and Z2, and the magnetic flux density at the position of Z1 and Z2 is B1 and B2, this magnetic flux density distribution can be expressed by the following equation.
If the rotation angle θp and the position in the linear motion direction are Zp, the voltages V1 and V2 output from the first magnetic field detection element 141 and the second magnetic field detection element 142 at this position are as follows.
Here, K is a proportional constant between the voltage output from the magnetic field detection element and the magnetic flux density.
Therefore, the rotation angle θp can be obtained by the arc tangent calculation of the ratio of the detection signals of the two magnetic field detection elements, that is, the following equation.
The linear motion position Zp can be obtained by the square root calculation of the sum of squares of the detection signals of the two magnetic field detection elements, that is, the following equation.
Here, C1 and C2 are constants and are expressed as follows.
As described above, in this embodiment, the rotation position and the linear movement position can be detected by using the outputs of the two magnetic field detection elements, so that a small position detection apparatus can be realized.
図５は第２の実施例を示す回転直動モータの位置検出装置の断面図である。図において１７は半径が異なる円筒状の永久磁石を複数重ね、稜線を円錐台形状としたものである。各々の永久磁石は２極に着磁されており、磁極が同じ方向になるように重ねられている。図６は図５のＢ−Ｂ’における磁石の断面と磁化方向を示したものである。
このように本実施例では、焼結磁石やボンド磁石のような一体の成形磁石を使用しなくても実施例１と同機能の位置検出装置を実現することができる。
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a position detecting device for a rotary linear motor showing a second embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 17 denotes a plurality of cylindrical permanent magnets having different radii, and a ridge line having a truncated cone shape. Each permanent magnet is magnetized in two poles, and the magnetic poles are stacked so that they are in the same direction. FIG. 6 shows the cross section and the magnetization direction of the magnet at BB ′ in FIG.
As described above, in the present embodiment, a position detecting device having the same function as that of the first embodiment can be realized without using an integrated molded magnet such as a sintered magnet or a bonded magnet.
図７は第３の実施例を示す磁石の形状である。図７（a）は永久磁石を一体で形成した場合を示し、図７（b）は円筒状の永久磁石を複数個積み重ねた場合を示す。磁石端部において漏れ磁束の影響が大きくなる場合、磁石端部付近に磁界検出素子が対抗すると、検出磁束密度が著しく減少するため、図に示すように端部付近の磁石の径を大きくし、円錐台形状の稜線を凹曲面にすることで、軸方向位置の変化に対する磁束密度の直線性を向上させることができる。
FIG. 7 shows the shape of a magnet according to the third embodiment. FIG. 7A shows a case where the permanent magnets are integrally formed, and FIG. 7B shows a case where a plurality of cylindrical permanent magnets are stacked. When the influence of leakage magnetic flux becomes large at the magnet end, if the magnetic field detection element counteracts near the magnet end, the detected magnetic flux density is remarkably reduced, so the diameter of the magnet near the end is increased as shown in the figure, By making the frustoconical ridge line into a concave curved surface, the linearity of the magnetic flux density with respect to the change in the axial position can be improved.
図８は第４の実施例を示す磁石の形状である。図８（a）は永久磁石を一体で形成した場合を示し、図８（b）は円筒状の永久磁石を複数個積み重ねた場合を示す。磁石端部の漏れ磁束の影響が無視できる場合、中央部の磁石の径を大きくし、端部の磁石の径を小さく円錐台形状の稜線を凸曲面にし、軸方向位置の変化に対する磁束密度の直線性を向上させることができる。このような形状にする理由を以下に述べる。
磁界検出素子の検出磁束密度の大きさは、磁石の発生する磁束密度の大きさと、磁石周面から磁界検出素子までの距離に依存する。磁石の発生する磁束密度は磁石形状と周辺に存在する磁性体により定まるパーミアンス係数で決まる。磁石径が大きい場合、内部に発生する反磁界が減少するとともに、磁石と磁性体でできた固定体までの距離が短くなるため、パーミアンス係数が大きくなり、磁石の発生する磁束密度は大きくなる。さらに、磁石径が大きい場合、磁石面から磁界検出素子までの距離が短くなるため、磁界検出素子の検出磁束密度は大きくなる。以上の２つの効果により、検出磁束密度は磁石の径に対して、単純に比例するのではなく、１．５〜２乗程度に比例する。したがって、円錐台磁石の中央部を凸曲面にすることで、軸方向位置の変化に対する磁束密度の直線性を向上させることができる。
FIG. 8 shows the shape of a magnet according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 8A shows a case where the permanent magnets are integrally formed, and FIG. 8B shows a case where a plurality of cylindrical permanent magnets are stacked. When the influence of leakage magnetic flux at the magnet end is negligible, the diameter of the magnet at the center is increased, the diameter of the magnet at the end is decreased, the frustoconical ridge is formed as a convex curved surface, and Linearity can be improved. The reason for this shape will be described below.
The magnitude of the detected magnetic flux density of the magnetic field detecting element depends on the magnitude of the magnetic flux density generated by the magnet and the distance from the magnet circumferential surface to the magnetic field detecting element. The magnetic flux density generated by the magnet is determined by the permeance coefficient determined by the magnet shape and the surrounding magnetic material. When the magnet diameter is large, the demagnetizing field generated inside decreases and the distance between the magnet and the fixed body made of the magnetic material decreases, so that the permeance coefficient increases and the magnetic flux density generated by the magnet increases. Furthermore, when the magnet diameter is large, the distance from the magnet surface to the magnetic field detection element is shortened, so that the detected magnetic flux density of the magnetic field detection element is increased. Due to the above two effects, the detected magnetic flux density is not simply proportional to the diameter of the magnet, but is proportional to about 1.5 to the square. Therefore, by making the central portion of the truncated cone magnet a convex curved surface, the linearity of the magnetic flux density with respect to the change in the axial position can be improved.
図９は第５の実施例を示す磁石の形状である。図９（a）は永久磁石を一体で形成した場合を示し、図９（b）は円筒状の永久磁石を複数個積み重ねた場合を示す。
磁石端部近傍については、実施例３に示したように、漏れ磁束による磁束密度の減少分を補正するために、磁石径を大きくし、円錐台形状の稜線を凹曲面にする。
一方、磁石中央部の径については、実施例４に示したように、磁石のパーミアンス係数と磁界検出素子までの距離を考慮して、円錐台形状の稜線を凸曲面にする。
このような磁石形状にすることで、直動方向の広い領域で、軸方向位置の変化に対する磁束密度の直線性を向上させることができる。
FIG. 9 shows the shape of a magnet according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 9A shows a case where the permanent magnets are integrally formed, and FIG. 9B shows a case where a plurality of cylindrical permanent magnets are stacked.
In the vicinity of the magnet end portion, as shown in the third embodiment, in order to correct the decrease in the magnetic flux density due to the leakage magnetic flux, the magnet diameter is increased and the frustoconical ridge line is formed into a concave curved surface.
On the other hand, with respect to the diameter of the magnet central portion, as shown in the fourth embodiment, the frustoconical ridge line is formed as a convex curved surface in consideration of the permeance coefficient of the magnet and the distance to the magnetic field detection element.
By adopting such a magnet shape, the linearity of the magnetic flux density with respect to the change in the axial position can be improved in a wide region in the linear motion direction.
図１０は本発明の第６の実施例を示す回転直動モータの位置検出装置の構造を示す断面図である。 実施例１との違いは１５が円筒形状の永久磁石であり、モータ軸１６に対して垂直方向に２極に着磁され、軸方向に磁化が漸増するように着磁されていることである。他の構成要素は同じであるので説明は省略する。本実施例では２極で構成しているが、多極であっても同様に構成することができる。
図１１は図１０の永久磁石１５のみを取り出した側断面図であり、磁化の様子を示したものである。永久磁石１５は軸方向に磁化が漸増するように着磁される。すなわち、第１の磁界検出素子１４１および、第２の磁界検出素子１４２の検出信号がモータ軸の直動位置に対して、概ね線形的に増減するように、着磁が施される。
本実施例の動作は実施例１で説明した動作と同じになるためここでは説明を省略する。
FIG. 10 is a sectional view showing the structure of a position detecting device for a rotary linear motion motor according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that 15 is a cylindrical permanent magnet, which is magnetized in two poles perpendicular to the motor shaft 16 and magnetized so that the magnetization gradually increases in the axial direction. . Since other components are the same, description thereof is omitted. In this embodiment, it is configured with two poles, but it can be configured similarly even with multiple poles.
FIG. 11 is a side sectional view showing only the permanent magnet 15 of FIG. 10 and shows the state of magnetization. The permanent magnet 15 is magnetized so that the magnetization gradually increases in the axial direction. That is, magnetization is performed so that the detection signals of the first magnetic field detection element 141 and the second magnetic field detection element 142 increase or decrease substantially linearly with respect to the linear movement position of the motor shaft.
Since the operation of this embodiment is the same as that described in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted here.
図１２に本実施例における永久磁石の着磁方法に関し、着磁器と永久磁石の断面図を示した例である。図において１５は円筒状の永久磁石であり、着磁コイル２１に通電を行い、着磁磁極２０から発生する磁束を受け、着磁が施される。
この場合、永久磁石１５は軸に対して垂直方向に２極着磁され、軸方向には永久磁石の磁化が漸増するように着磁される。すなわち、上部においては永久磁石１５の周面から着磁磁極面までの距離が長いため永久磁石１５の磁化は低いが、永久磁石１５の下部に行くほど磁化は大きくなる。このようにして、一度の通電により、永久磁石１５を着磁することができる。
FIG. 12 shows an example of a sectional view of a magnetizer and a permanent magnet with respect to the method for magnetizing the permanent magnet in the present embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 15 denotes a cylindrical permanent magnet, which energizes the magnetizing coil 21 to receive a magnetic flux generated from the magnetized magnetic pole 20 and is magnetized.
In this case, the permanent magnet 15 is two-pole magnetized in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and is magnetized so that the magnetization of the permanent magnet gradually increases in the axis direction. That is, in the upper part, since the distance from the peripheral surface of the permanent magnet 15 to the magnetized magnetic pole surface is long, the magnetization of the permanent magnet 15 is low, but the magnetization increases toward the lower part of the permanent magnet 15. In this way, the permanent magnet 15 can be magnetized by a single energization.
永久磁石の周方向に磁束密度が正弦波状に変化させるような着磁を行うことはさほど難しくないが、円筒状永久磁石の軸方向に磁束密度が線形的に変化させるように着磁するのは比較的難しい。図１３に示すように軸方向の位置Ｚに対して、検出磁束密度Ｂは非線形に変化することがある。
このような場合、検出磁束密度Ｂ（θ，ｚ）は、直動位置ｚの一価関数ｆ（ｚ）を用いて、以下のように表すことができる。
ここで、モータ軸のある回転角θｐ、直動方向の位置Ｚｐおいて、第１の磁界検出素子１４１および第２の磁界検出素子１４２が出力する、それぞれの電圧Ｖ１，Ｖ２は次のようになる。
ここで、ｆ（Ｚｐ）は第１、第２の磁界検出素子が出力する電圧Ｖ１，Ｖ２から、
と表されるので、直動位置Ｚｐは
で定められる。ただし、一般的にはｆ−１（Ｚｐ）を理論的に求めることが困難であるので、あらかじめ、位置と出力電圧に対する複数個のサンプリングデータを取得し、ｆ−１（Ｚｐ）を例えば多項式補間などを行い表現することができる。
このようにして、直動位置Ｚｐを定めることができる。
It is not so difficult to magnetize the magnetic flux density in the circumferential direction of the permanent magnet, but it is not difficult to magnetize so that the magnetic flux density changes linearly in the axial direction of the cylindrical permanent magnet. Relatively difficult. As shown in FIG. 13, the detected magnetic flux density B may change nonlinearly with respect to the position Z in the axial direction.
In such a case, the detected magnetic flux density B (θ, z) can be expressed as follows using the monovalent function f (z) of the linear motion position z.
Here, at the rotation angle θp of the motor shaft and the position Zp in the linear motion direction, the respective voltages V1 and V2 output from the first magnetic field detection element 141 and the second magnetic field detection element 142 are as follows: Become.
Here, f (Zp) is obtained from the voltages V1 and V2 output from the first and second magnetic field detecting elements.
Therefore, the linear motion position Zp is
Determined by However, since it is generally difficult to determine f -1 a (Zp) theoretically beforehand, it obtains a plurality of sampling data with respect to the position and the output voltage, f -1 a (Zp) for example polynomial interpolation Can be expressed.
In this way, the linear motion position Zp can be determined.
以上のように磁界検出素子が検出する磁束密度が軸の回転方向には正弦波状に変化し、かつ、軸の直動方向には磁束密度の振幅が直線状に変化するように構成した磁気回路と、その磁界変化を２つの磁界検出素子で検出し、９０度位相の異なる検出信号から回転と直動の位置を検出するようにしたので、回転と直動の位置を同時に検出する小型の磁気式エンコーダ装置を実現することができる。
なお、上記実施例の説明では軸としてモータ軸としたが軸はモータ軸に限らず、たとえば検出器としての専用の軸であっても良い。
