Description

本発明は、例えば歩行補助装置において非接触でデータ及び電力を伝送することができる給電器、受電器、非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a power feeder, a power receiver, a non-contact type data, and a power transmission device that can transmit data and power in a non-contact manner, for example, in a walking assist device.

近年、筋力の衰えた老人や傷病者の、歩行動作、階段の昇降動作、着座姿勢からの起立動作、起立姿勢からの着座動作等の各種動作を補助することで、筋力の低下を補助するための歩行補助装置が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   In recent years, assisting the decline of muscle strength by assisting various actions such as walking, raising and lowering of stairs, standing up from sitting posture, and sitting up from standing posture for elderly people and victims with weak muscle strength Has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

このような歩行補助装置は、人体の関節を曲げる電気アクチュエータ等を脚に取り付け、電気アクチュエータ等を制御するための制御部、電源電池等を人体の背や腰に取り付けるようになっている。このため、電気アクチュエータと制御部との間では、電力を供給するための配線や、各種データをやり取りするための配線が必要となる。通常、この種の装置は、外部に露出した接点を有するコネクタ等の結合手段によって配線間が接続される。   Such a walking assist device is configured to attach an electric actuator or the like for bending a joint of a human body to a leg, and attach a control unit for controlling the electric actuator or the like, a power supply battery, or the like to the back or waist of the human body. For this reason, wiring for supplying electric power and wiring for exchanging various data are required between the electric actuator and the control unit. Usually, in this type of device, the wiring is connected by a coupling means such as a connector having a contact exposed to the outside.

一方、従来各種の非接触型電力伝送装置が提案されており、このような非接触型電力伝送装置を上記歩行補助装置に電力の供給手段として利用することも可能である。そして、本発明者は、非接触型電力伝送装置を歩行補助装置等において電力の伝送のみならず、データ信号の伝送にも利用することに思い至り、次のような非接触型電力伝送装置を案出した。   On the other hand, various non-contact power transmission devices have been proposed in the past, and such a non-contact power transmission device can be used as power supply means for the walking assist device. Then, the present inventor has come to think that the non-contact power transmission device is used not only for power transmission but also for data signal transmission in a walking assist device or the like, and the following non-contact power transmission device is used. Devised.

すなわち、この非接触型電力伝送装置は、給電器の給電ヘッド基板に給電コイルを有する給電コアを取り付け、受電器の受電ヘッド基板に受電コイルを有する受電コアを取り付け、給電コイル及び給電コアと受電コイル及び受電コアとが同軸上で対向するように給電器と受電器とを結合することで、電磁誘導作用により非接触で給電することができるようにし、また、給電ヘッド基板と受電ヘッド基板とに送信部及び受信部をそれぞれ取り付けて、給電器と受電器とを結合して上述したように給電可能にすると同時に、各種データのやり取りも非接触で行うことができるようにしている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   That is, this non-contact type power transmission device has a power feeding core having a power feeding coil attached to a power feeding head substrate of the power feeder, and a power receiving core having a power receiving coil attached to the power receiving head substrate of the power receiver. By connecting the power feeder and the power receiver so that the coil and the power receiving core are coaxially opposed to each other, power can be supplied in a non-contact manner by electromagnetic induction, and the power feeding head substrate and the power receiving head substrate A transmitter and a receiver are attached to each other, and a power feeder and a power receiver are combined to enable power supply as described above, and at the same time, various data can be exchanged without contact (for example, Patent Document 2).

ところで、複数のデータ信号を送受信する場合には、チャンネル数を複数にして対応するため、レイアウト上、送信部及び受信部を隣接するように配置する必要がある。   By the way, when a plurality of data signals are transmitted / received, in order to cope with a plurality of channels, it is necessary to arrange the transmitting unit and the receiving unit adjacent to each other in the layout.

また、データ信号を伝送するには、特許文献２に開示された発明のように、給電ヘッドと受電ヘッド同士が対向するようにセットし、送信部及び受信部を集約的に配置し、また送信部及び受信部を樹脂で円筒状に形成された導光部材を用いて取り囲むようにして、データ信号が外部に漏洩しないようにしている。そして、複数のデータ信号を伝送する場合も、このような円筒状の導光部材をそれぞれ個別に設け、隣接するチャンネルに漏洩しないようにしている。   In order to transmit a data signal, as in the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, the power feeding head and the power receiving head are set to face each other, and the transmission unit and the reception unit are arranged in a centralized manner, and transmission is performed. The data signal is prevented from leaking to the outside by surrounding the receiving portion and the receiving portion with a light guide member formed in a cylindrical shape with resin. Also when transmitting a plurality of data signals, such cylindrical light guide members are individually provided so as not to leak into adjacent channels.

しかしながら、特許文献２に開示された円筒状の導光部材は、複数のものをそれぞれ個別に位置決めすることが困難であるとともに、正確な位置に固定することが困難である。   However, the cylindrical light guide member disclosed in Patent Document 2 is difficult to position a plurality of members individually and is difficult to fix at an accurate position.

また、特許文献２に開示された発明は、円筒状の導光部材が樹脂製であり、伝送媒体が赤外光であるため、送信部からの赤外光が導光部材により内部で反射等があり、進行方向がほぼ集約され、直進するようになるものの、樹脂内部を通過するものがある。隣接する送信部や受信部との間隔が十分にとれれば、樹脂内部で減衰して、影響は少なくなるが、その間隔が狭くなると、無視できなくなり、互いに干渉する場合がある。   In the invention disclosed in Patent Document 2, since the cylindrical light guide member is made of resin and the transmission medium is infrared light, the infrared light from the transmission unit is internally reflected by the light guide member. There are some that pass through the inside of the resin although the traveling direction is almost integrated and goes straight. If there is sufficient space between adjacent transmitters and receivers, it will attenuate within the resin and the effect will be reduced. However, if the space is narrowed, it cannot be ignored and may interfere with each other.

これを解決するため、円筒状の導光部材の肉厚を厚くすると、給電ヘッド基板及び受電ヘッド基板が大型化し、ひいては給電器及び受電器も大きくせざるを得ないという問題がある。   In order to solve this problem, if the thickness of the cylindrical light guide member is increased, there is a problem in that the power feeding head substrate and the power receiving head substrate are increased in size, and the power feeder and the power receiver must be enlarged.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するためになされたものであり、導光用部分が正確に位置決めされ、機器を大型化することなく、データ信号伝送時におけるデータ信号の相互干渉を未然に防止することのできる給電器、受電器、非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置を提供しようというものである。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and the light guiding portion is accurately positioned, and prevents mutual interference of data signals during data signal transmission without increasing the size of the device. It is intended to provide a power feeder, a power receiver, a non-contact type data and a power transmission device.

以下、図面を参照して本発明を実施するための最良の形態について説明する。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

（第１実施形態）
図１及び図２に示すように、この非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置１，２は、歩行補助装置３に利用することが可能である。 (First embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the contactless data and power transmission devices 1 and 2 can be used for the walking assistance device 3.

最初に歩行補助装置について説明すると、この歩行補助装置は、利用者Ａの左右の脚における各膝関節部にあてがわれるリンク機構部３，４と、利用者Ａの所望の部位で検出する信号に応じてリンク機構部３，４を駆動する駆動部５，６と、充電池等の電源部７と、駆動部５，６等を制御する制御部８とを含んだ構成となっている。   First, the walking assistance device will be described. This walking assistance device detects the link mechanism portions 3 and 4 applied to the knee joint portions of the left and right legs of the user A and signals detected at a desired part of the user A. Accordingly, the drive units 5 and 6 that drive the link mechanism units 3 and 4, the power supply unit 7 such as a rechargeable battery, and the control unit 8 that controls the drive units 5 and 6 and the like are included.

なお、図１では右脚用のリンク機構部３及び駆動部５のみ示しているが、左脚にも同様な構造のリンク機構部４及び駆動部６が配置される。   In FIG. 1, only the link mechanism unit 3 and the drive unit 5 for the right leg are shown, but the link mechanism unit 4 and the drive unit 6 having the same structure are also arranged on the left leg.

電源部７と制御部８は、それぞれ別個のハウジングに収納され、利用者の腰に巻きつけたベルト９に、各ハウジングに取り付けられたフック等により吊り下げられる。制御部８のハウジング内には、図示しないがＣＰＵ、電源回路、給電回路、通信回路等が収納されている。   The power supply unit 7 and the control unit 8 are housed in separate housings, and are suspended from a belt 9 wound around the user's waist by hooks or the like attached to the respective housings. Although not shown, a CPU, a power supply circuit, a power feeding circuit, a communication circuit and the like are housed in the housing of the control unit 8.

駆動部５，６は、そのハウジング内に収納される図示しないアクチュエータであるＤＣモータを有する。図６に示すように、ハウジング５ａ内には、ＤＣモータのほか、受電回路１１ａ等が組み込まれた基板１１が設けられている。この駆動部５，６は利用者の左右の大腿にハウジング５ａごとベルト１２によって装着される。   The drive parts 5 and 6 have DC motors which are actuators (not shown) housed in the housings. As shown in FIG. 6, in the housing 5a, a substrate 11 in which a power receiving circuit 11a and the like are incorporated in addition to a DC motor is provided. The driving units 5 and 6 are attached to the left and right thighs of the user by the belt 12 together with the housing 5a.

リンク機構部３，４は、上記駆動部５，６の各ハウジング５ａに固定されて各ハウジング５ａから利用者の膝関節へと大腿に沿って延びる固定リンク１３と、上記駆動部５，６の各ハウジング５ａ内に収納された上記ＤＣモータによって低速回転する図示しない短リンクと、短リンクにピン結合された連接棒１４と、上記固定リンク１３の上記膝関節に対応した箇所で一端がピン結合され、他端が上記連接棒１４の先端にピン結合され、利用者の下腿に沿って延びる揺動リンク１５とを具備する。揺動リンク１５は、ベルト１６によって利用者Ａの下腿に固定される。   The link mechanisms 3 and 4 are fixed to the housings 5a of the drive units 5 and 6 and extend along the thighs from the housings 5a to the user's knee joints. A short link (not shown) that rotates at a low speed by the DC motor housed in each housing 5a, a connecting rod 14 that is pin-coupled to the short link, and one end that is pin-coupled at a location corresponding to the knee joint of the fixed link 13 The other end is pin-coupled to the tip of the connecting rod 14 and includes a swing link 15 extending along the user's lower leg. The swing link 15 is fixed to the lower leg of the user A by the belt 16.

ＤＣモータが制御部８によって制御されつつ回転すると、短リンクを介して連接棒１４が往復移動し、揺動リンク１５が膝関節の箇所のピンを支点にして揺動する。これにより、利用者の下腿が膝関節を支点にして前後に回動することとなり、利用者の歩行が援助されることになる。   When the DC motor rotates while being controlled by the control unit 8, the connecting rod 14 reciprocates through the short link, and the swing link 15 swings around the pin at the knee joint. As a result, the user's lower leg rotates back and forth with the knee joint as a fulcrum, and the user's walking is assisted.

本実施形態に係る非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置１，２は、図１及び図２に示すように、歩行補助装置の駆動部５，６と制御部８との間に設けられる。また、非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置１，２は、利用者Ａの左右の脚に対応して左右一対設けられる。   The contactless data and power transmission devices 1 and 2 according to the present embodiment are provided between the drive units 5 and 6 and the control unit 8 of the walking assistance device, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. A pair of left and right contactless data and power transmission devices 1 and 2 are provided corresponding to the left and right legs of the user A.

左右の非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置１，２は、互いに同様な構造であるから、以下一方のもので代表して説明する。   Since the left and right contactless data and power transmission devices 1 and 2 have the same structure, the following description will be given by using only one of them.

非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置１は、図３及び図４に示すように、給電器１ａと受電器１ｂとの組み合わせからなり、分離と連結を自在に行うことができるようになっている。図５及び図６に示すように、受電器１ｂが上記歩行補助装置における駆動部５のハウジング５ａに図示しないビスやネジ等の固定具によって固定されている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the non-contact type data and power transmission device 1 is composed of a combination of a power feeder 1 a and a power receiver 1 b, and can be freely separated and connected. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the power receiver 1 b is fixed to the housing 5 a of the drive unit 5 in the walking assist device by a fixing tool such as a screw or a screw (not shown).

このように構成された歩行補助装置は、コネクタ等外部に露出した接点を用いる必要性がなくなるとともに、容易に着脱可能であって、防水処理が施されているため、例えば、脚当てをそのまま洗っても、従来のように当該接点に腐食や錆等が発生し、電力の供給が減少、及びリーク等の発生を防止できるので、不具合を生じないようにすることが可能となる。   The walking assist device configured as described above eliminates the need to use contacts exposed to the outside such as connectors, and is easily detachable and waterproofed. For example, the leg rest is washed as it is. However, since corrosion, rust, and the like are generated at the contact as in the prior art, the supply of power is reduced, and the occurrence of leakage and the like can be prevented, so that it is possible to prevent problems.

給電器１ａは、図７、図８、図９及び図１０に示すようなケーシングを有する。このケーシングは、板部１０と、板部１０の一端に配置される鍔部１７とを有し、樹脂等の非導電性材料で成形される。図３及び図４に示すように、板部１０は受電器１ｂのケーシングに形成された同じ形状の空洞１８内に挿抜可能であり、鍔部１７は、受電器１ｂのケーシングの一端面に合致する面に形成されている。   The electric power feeder 1a has a casing as shown in FIG.7, FIG.8, FIG.9 and FIG. This casing has a plate portion 10 and a flange portion 17 disposed at one end of the plate portion 10 and is formed of a non-conductive material such as a resin. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the plate portion 10 can be inserted into and removed from a cavity 18 having the same shape formed in the casing of the power receiver 1b, and the flange portion 17 matches one end surface of the casing of the power receiver 1b. It is formed on the surface.

図７、図８、図９及び図１０に示すように、給電器１ａのケーシングには、凹陥部１９が形成され、この凹陥部１９内に給電ヘッド基板２０が収納され、この給電ヘッド基板２０に、非接触の電磁誘導作用により給電する給電コイル２１を有する給電コア２２と、光により非接触にて送受信する給電器側の送信部２３ａ及び給電器側の受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄとが取り付けられる。   As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 9, and 10, a recess 19 is formed in the casing of the power feeder 1 a, and a power supply head substrate 20 is accommodated in the recess 19. Furthermore, a power supply core 22 having a power supply coil 21 that supplies power by non-contact electromagnetic induction action, a power-feeder-side transmission unit 23a and a power-feeder-side reception unit 23b, 23c, and 23d that transmit and receive light without contact. It is attached.

凹陥部１９はケーシングの板部１０の広い方形面に形成され、その底は方形面に平行な平坦面１９ａとして形成される。また、凹陥部１９の内周には給電ヘッド基板２０の輪郭に合致する壁が形成される。凹陥部１９と板部１０の上記方形面との境界には段差部１９ｂが形成される。この段差部１９ｂにカバー板２４が嵌め込まれ、接着剤等により接着される。カバー板２４はその表面がケーシングの板部１０の表面と同一面となるように板部１０に固定される。このカバー板２４によって、給電コイル２１、給電コア２２等が収納された凹陥部１９が密閉される。   The recessed portion 19 is formed on a wide rectangular surface of the casing plate portion 10, and its bottom is formed as a flat surface 19 a parallel to the rectangular surface. A wall that matches the contour of the power feeding head substrate 20 is formed on the inner periphery of the recessed portion 19. A step portion 19b is formed at the boundary between the recessed portion 19 and the rectangular surface of the plate portion 10. The cover plate 24 is fitted into the stepped portion 19b and bonded with an adhesive or the like. The cover plate 24 is fixed to the plate portion 10 so that the surface thereof is flush with the surface of the plate portion 10 of the casing. The cover plate 24 seals the recessed portion 19 in which the power feeding coil 21, the power feeding core 22, and the like are housed.

このカバー板２４は、可視光を遮断して赤外線等所定の波長光のみを透過し、磁力を透過し、また、耐熱性を有する材料で形成される。   The cover plate 24 is made of a material that blocks visible light and transmits only light having a predetermined wavelength such as infrared rays, transmits magnetic force, and has heat resistance.

給電ヘッド基板２０は、その表面が凹陥部１９の開口側に向き、裏面が凹陥部１９の底側に向くように凹陥部１９内に収納され、その裏面が凹陥部１９の底の平坦面１９ａに当てられる。これにより、給電ヘッド基板２０は簡易かつ正確にケーシング内に取り付けられる。   The feeding head substrate 20 is housed in the recessed portion 19 so that the front surface faces the opening side of the recessed portion 19 and the back surface faces the bottom side of the recessed portion 19, and the back surface is a flat surface 19 a at the bottom of the recessed portion 19. To. Thereby, the electric power feeding head board | substrate 20 is attached in a casing simply and correctly.

上記給電コイル２１と給電コア２２は、この給電ヘッド基板２０における上記凹陥部１９の開口側に向いた表面２０ａに取り付けられ、図６に示すように、上記カバー板２４を介して受電器１ｂに対峙可能となる。   The feeding coil 21 and the feeding core 22 are attached to the surface 20a facing the opening side of the recessed portion 19 in the feeding head substrate 20, and are connected to the power receiver 1b via the cover plate 24 as shown in FIG. It becomes possible to confront.

給電コイル２１は環状に巻かれ、この給電コイル２１がフェライト等の磁性体からなる給電コア２２に装着される。   The feeding coil 21 is wound in an annular shape, and the feeding coil 21 is attached to a feeding core 22 made of a magnetic material such as ferrite.

また、上記送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄは、上記絶縁体である給電ヘッド基板２０の裏面２０ｂに取り付けられると共に、上記凹陥部１９の底の平坦面１９ａに形成された第１の凹部１９ｃ内に挿入される。このため、給電ヘッド基板２０は凹陥部１９の底に安定的に固定される。また、給電ヘッド基板２０には送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄに対応して通信用の赤外線等を通すための貫通孔２０ｃが形成される。この送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄは、例えば、ＩＲ−フォトトランジスタ、ＩＲ−ＬＥＤであり、所定の波長による通信（赤外線通信等）によって、後述する受電器１ｂ側の送受信部との間で所定の各種情報を送受信可能である。   The transmitter 23a and the receivers 23b, 23c, and 23d are attached to the back surface 20b of the feeding head substrate 20 that is the insulator, and are formed on the flat surface 19a at the bottom of the recessed portion 19. It is inserted into the recess 19c. For this reason, the power feeding head substrate 20 is stably fixed to the bottom of the recessed portion 19. In addition, a through-hole 20c is formed in the power supply head substrate 20 so as to pass infrared rays for communication and the like corresponding to the transmission unit 23a and the reception units 23b, 23c, and 23d. The transmission unit 23a and the reception units 23b, 23c, and 23d are, for example, IR-phototransistors and IR-LEDs, and communicate with a transmission / reception unit on the power receiver 1b side described later by communication (infrared communication or the like) using a predetermined wavelength. Various kinds of predetermined information can be transmitted and received between them.

上記給電コイル２１の端子２５も給電コイル２１等と同様に給電ヘッド基板２０の表面２０ａに形成される。また、上記送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄの各端子２６は、送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄと同様に給電ヘッド基板２０の裏面２０ｂに取り付けられると共に、凹陥部１９の底の平坦面１９ａに形成された第２の凹部１９ｄ内に挿入される。   The terminal 25 of the feeding coil 21 is also formed on the surface 20a of the feeding head substrate 20 in the same manner as the feeding coil 21 and the like. Further, the terminals 26 of the transmission unit 23a and the reception units 23b, 23c, and 23d are attached to the back surface 20b of the power feeding head substrate 20 in the same manner as the transmission unit 23a and the reception units 23b, 23c, and 23d. It is inserted into a second recess 19d formed in the bottom flat surface 19a.

このように、給電コイル２１等の電源系が給電ヘッド基板２０の表面２０ａに配置され、送受信部２３ａ，２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄやそれらの端子２６等の信号系が給電ヘッド基板２０の裏面２０ｂに配置されると共に非導電材製ケーシングの凹部１９ｃ，１９ｄ内に挿入されることから、電力の漏洩による信号への影響が低減する。   Thus, the power supply system such as the power feeding coil 21 is arranged on the front surface 20 a of the power feeding head substrate 20, and the signal systems such as the transmission / reception units 23 a, 23 b, 23 c and 23 d and their terminals 26 are on the back surface 20 b of the power feeding head substrate 20. Since it is arrange | positioned and inserted in the recessed parts 19c and 19d of a casing made from a nonelectroconductive material, the influence on the signal by the leakage of electric power reduces.

さらに、図７及び図９において、樹脂製のブロック２８は、凹陥部１９内に生じる空隙を埋めるためのものである。そして、図７、図８及び図１０において、金属製の導光用ブロック２９には、送受信部２３ａ，２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄに対応する給電ヘッド基板２０の通信用の貫通孔２０ｃをカバー板２４へと連通させるための複数の導光用孔２９ａが一定間隔をおいて形成されている。つまり、送受信部２３ａ，２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄにおいて入出射する光は、それぞれ複数の導光用孔２９ａの内周面によりガイドされることとなる。導光用ブロック２９は、給電ヘッド基板２０上においてブロック２８と同様に凹陥部１９内に生じる空隙を埋める役割も果たすとともに、複数の導光用孔２９ａの位置決め機能をも有する。   Further, in FIGS. 7 and 9, a resin block 28 is for filling a gap generated in the recessed portion 19. 7, 8, and 10, the metal light guide block 29 is provided with a communication through hole 20 c of the power feeding head substrate 20 corresponding to the transmission / reception units 23 a, 23 b, 23 c, and 23 d with the cover plate 24. A plurality of light guide holes 29a for communicating with each other are formed at regular intervals. That is, the light incident / exited at the transmission / reception units 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d is guided by the inner peripheral surfaces of the plurality of light guide holes 29a. The light guide block 29 has a function of filling a gap generated in the recessed portion 19 on the power supply head substrate 20 in the same manner as the block 28, and also has a function of positioning the plurality of light guide holes 29a.

また、導光用ブロック２９は、図１１に示すように例えばアルミニウム等の金属から角柱状に一体に成形された後、その複数の導光用孔２９ａが穴明け加工される。導光用ブロック２９は、給電ヘッド基板２０に対して電気的な絶縁性を保持して設置されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the light guide block 29 is integrally formed in a prismatic shape from a metal such as aluminum, and then a plurality of light guide holes 29a are drilled. The light guide block 29 is installed while maintaining electrical insulation with respect to the power feeding head substrate 20.

したがって、送信部２３ａから出射した赤外光は、給電ヘッド基板２０の貫通孔２０ｃを経て、導光用ブロック２９の導光用孔２９ａの内周面で反射されて導光用孔２９ａの軸方向に案内されつつ、カバー板２４を透過し、後述する受電器１ｂに入射する。   Therefore, the infrared light emitted from the transmission unit 23 a is reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the light guide hole 29 a of the light guide block 29 through the through hole 20 c of the power feeding head substrate 20 and the axis of the light guide hole 29 a. While being guided in the direction, the light passes through the cover plate 24 and enters the power receiver 1b described later.

このように本実施形態の給電器１ａによれば、送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄの赤外光をそれぞれ案内する複数の導光用孔２９ａが形成された金属製の導光用ブロック２９を凹陥部１９内の給電ヘッド基板２０上に配置したことにより、導光用部分である複数の導光用孔２９ａが正確に位置決めされ、機器としての給電器１ａを大型化することなく、送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄを用いてデータ信号伝送時において、隣接する送信部２３ａ及び受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄのデータ信号の漏洩による相互干渉を未然に防止することができる。   As described above, according to the power feeder 1a of the present embodiment, the light guide made of metal in which a plurality of light guide holes 29a for guiding the infrared light of the transmitter 23a and the receivers 23b, 23c, and 23d are formed. By arranging the block 29 on the power feeding head substrate 20 in the recessed portion 19, the plurality of light guiding holes 29a, which are light guiding portions, are accurately positioned without increasing the size of the power feeder 1a as a device. In the data signal transmission using the transmitting unit 23a and the receiving units 23b, 23c, and 23d, mutual interference due to the leakage of the data signals of the adjacent transmitting unit 23a and the receiving units 23b, 23c, and 23d can be prevented. .

図７、図８及び図９において、符号３０は端子２５，２６からケーブル２７の端に至る箇所に充填されるウレタン樹脂等からなるシール部材を示す。このシール部材３０は砂目のハッチングにより示す。このシール部材３０によって、ケーブル２７の接続部からのケーシング内への空気、水等の侵入が防止される。   7, 8, and 9, reference numeral 30 denotes a sealing member made of urethane resin or the like that is filled in a portion from the terminals 25 and 26 to the end of the cable 27. The seal member 30 is indicated by grained hatching. The seal member 30 prevents intrusion of air, water, and the like from the connection portion of the cable 27 into the casing.

次に、受電器１ｂは、図１１、図１２、図１３、図１４及び図１５に示すようなケーシングを有する。このケーシングは、上記給電器１ａのケーシングの板部１０よりも厚くて広い大型の板として形成される。そして、給電器１ａのケーシングの板部１０が挿入される薄い直方体形の空洞１８が、このケーシングの一端面から他端面に向かって延びる。空洞１８におけるケーシングの他端面側は閉じられる。空洞１８内の広い方形面はケーシングの外面の広い方形面と平行に延びる。このケーシングも樹脂等の非導電材で成形される。   Next, the power receiver 1b has a casing as shown in FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13, FIG. The casing is formed as a large plate that is thicker and wider than the plate portion 10 of the casing of the power feeder 1a. A thin rectangular parallelepiped cavity 18 into which the casing plate 10 of the power feeder 1a is inserted extends from one end surface of the casing toward the other end surface. The other end surface side of the casing in the cavity 18 is closed. The wide square surface in the cavity 18 extends parallel to the wide square surface of the outer surface of the casing. This casing is also formed of a non-conductive material such as resin.

図３及び図４に示すように、この受電器１ｂのケーシングに形成された空洞１８内に給電器１ａのケーシングの板部１０が挿入され、鍔部１７が受電器１ｂのケーシングの一端面に合致することによって、受電器１ｂと給電器１ａとが合体する。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the plate portion 10 of the casing of the power feeder 1a is inserted into the cavity 18 formed in the casing of the power receiver 1b, and the flange portion 17 is formed on one end surface of the casing of the power receiver 1b. By matching, the power receiver 1b and the power feeder 1a are united.

図１２、図１３、図１４、図１５及び図１６に示すように、受電器１ｂのケーシングの上記空洞１８内に平坦面が形成され、この平坦面に凹陥部３１が形成される。この凹陥部３１内に受電ヘッド基板３２が収納され、この受電ヘッド基板３２に、非接触の電磁誘導作用により誘導起電力を生じる受電コイル３３を有した受電コア３４と、光により非接触にて送受信する受電器側の受信部３５ａ及び受電器側の送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄとが取り付けられる。   As shown in FIGS. 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16, a flat surface is formed in the cavity 18 of the casing of the power receiver 1 b, and a recessed portion 31 is formed on the flat surface. A power receiving head substrate 32 is accommodated in the recessed portion 31, and a power receiving core 34 having a power receiving coil 33 that generates an induced electromotive force by non-contact electromagnetic induction action on the power receiving head substrate 32, in a non-contact manner by light. A receiver 35a on the power receiver side and transmitters 35b, 35c, 35d on the power receiver side for transmitting and receiving are attached.

凹陥部３１はケーシングの空洞１８内における広い方形の平坦面１８ａに形成され、その底は空洞１８内の平坦面１８ａに平行な平坦面３１ａとして形成される。また、凹陥部３１の内周には受電ヘッド基板３２の輪郭に合致する壁が形成される。凹陥部３１と上記平坦面１８ａとの境界には段差部３１ｂが形成される。この段差部３１ｂ内にはカバー板３６が嵌め込まれ、接着剤等により接着される。カバー板３６はその表面が上記平坦面１８ａと同一面となるようにケーシングに固定される。このカバー板３６によって、受電コイル３３、受電コア３４等が収納された凹陥部３１が密閉される。このカバー板３６は赤外線を透過し、また磁力を透過する材料で形成される。   The recessed portion 31 is formed in a wide rectangular flat surface 18 a in the cavity 18 of the casing, and its bottom is formed as a flat surface 31 a parallel to the flat surface 18 a in the cavity 18. A wall that matches the contour of the power receiving head substrate 32 is formed on the inner periphery of the recessed portion 31. A step portion 31b is formed at the boundary between the recessed portion 31 and the flat surface 18a. A cover plate 36 is fitted into the stepped portion 31b and bonded by an adhesive or the like. The cover plate 36 is fixed to the casing so that the surface thereof is flush with the flat surface 18a. The cover plate 36 seals the recessed portion 31 in which the power receiving coil 33, the power receiving core 34, and the like are accommodated. The cover plate 36 is formed of a material that transmits infrared light and transmits magnetic force.

受電ヘッド基板３２は、その表面３２ａが凹陥部３１の開口側に向き、裏面３２ｂが凹陥部３１の底側に向くように凹陥部３１内に収納され、その裏面３２ｂが凹陥部３１の底の平坦面３１ａに当てられる。これにより、受電ヘッド基板３２はケーシング内の定位置に簡易かつ正確に取り付けられる。   The power receiving head substrate 32 is housed in the recessed portion 31 so that the front surface 32 a faces the opening side of the recessed portion 31 and the back surface 32 b faces the bottom side of the recessed portion 31, and the back surface 32 b is on the bottom of the recessed portion 31. It is applied to the flat surface 31a. Thereby, the power receiving head substrate 32 is easily and accurately attached to a fixed position in the casing.

上記受電コイル３３と受電コア３４は、この受電ヘッド基板３２における上記凹陥部３１の開口側に向いた表面３２ａに取り付けられ、図６に示すように、カバー板３６を介して給電器１ａに対峙可能となる。   The power receiving coil 33 and the power receiving core 34 are attached to the surface 32a of the power receiving head substrate 32 facing the opening of the recessed portion 31, and face the power feeder 1a through the cover plate 36 as shown in FIG. It becomes possible.

受電コイル３３は環状に巻かれ、この受電コイル３３がフェライト等の磁性体からなる受電コア３４に装着される。   The power receiving coil 33 is wound in an annular shape, and the power receiving coil 33 is attached to a power receiving core 34 made of a magnetic material such as ferrite.

また、上記受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄは、上記絶縁体である受電ヘッド基板３２の裏面３２ｂに取り付けられると共に、上記凹陥部３１の底の平坦面３１ａに形成された第１の凹部３１ｃ内に挿入される。このため、受電ヘッド基板３２は凹陥部３１の底に安定的に固定される。また、受電ヘッド基板３２には受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄに対応して通信用の赤外線等を通すための貫通孔３２ｃが形成される。この受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄは、例えば、ＩＲ−フォトトランジスタ、ＩＲ−ＬＥＤであり、所定の波長光による通信（赤外線通信等）によって、上記給電器１ａ側の送受信部３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄとの間で所定の各種情報を送受信可能である。   The receiver 35a and the transmitters 35b, 35c, and 35d are attached to the back surface 32b of the power receiving head substrate 32, which is the insulator, and are formed on the flat surface 31a at the bottom of the recessed portion 31. It is inserted into the recess 31c. For this reason, the power receiving head substrate 32 is stably fixed to the bottom of the recessed portion 31. The power receiving head substrate 32 is formed with a through hole 32c through which infrared rays for communication and the like pass in correspondence with the receiving unit 35a and the transmitting units 35b, 35c, and 35d. The receiver 35a and the transmitters 35b, 35c, and 35d are, for example, IR-phototransistors and IR-LEDs, and the transmitter / receiver 35a on the power feeder 1a side by communication (infrared communication or the like) using light of a predetermined wavelength. Various kinds of predetermined information can be transmitted and received between 35b, 35c and 35d.

上記受電コイル３３の端子３７も受電コイル３３等と同様に受電ヘッド基板３２の表面に形成される。また、上記受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄの各端子３８は、受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄと同様に受電ヘッド基板３２の裏面３２ｂに取り付けられると共に、凹陥部３１の底の平坦面３１ａに形成された第２の凹部３１ｄ内に挿入される。   The terminal 37 of the power receiving coil 33 is also formed on the surface of the power receiving head substrate 32 in the same manner as the power receiving coil 33 and the like. Further, the terminals 38 of the receiving unit 35a and the transmitting units 35b, 35c, and 35d are attached to the back surface 32b of the power receiving head substrate 32 in the same manner as the receiving unit 35a and the transmitting units 35b, 35c, and 35d. It is inserted into a second recess 31d formed in the bottom flat surface 31a.

このように、受電コイル３３等の電源系が受電ヘッド基板３２の表面３２ａに配置され、送受信部３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄ等の信号系が受電ヘッド基板３２の裏面３２ｂに配置されると共に非導電材製ケーシングの凹部３１ｂ，３１ｃ内に挿入されることから、電力の漏洩による信号の送受信への影響が低減する。   In this way, the power supply system such as the power receiving coil 33 is disposed on the front surface 32a of the power receiving head substrate 32, and the signal system such as the transmitting / receiving units 35a, 35b, 35c, and 35d is disposed on the back surface 32b of the power receiving head substrate 32 and is not. Since it is inserted into the recesses 31b and 31c of the conductive material casing, the influence on the signal transmission and reception due to the leakage of power is reduced.

この受電器１ｂのケーシングに形成された空洞１８は、上記給電器１ａのケーシングに形成された板部１０とともに、両ケーシングを着脱自在に連結する連結手段を構成する。図４乃至図６に示すように、給電器１ａのケーシングの板部１０が受電器１ｂのケーシングの空洞１８内に挿入され、両者の連結が完了すると、給電コイル２１及び給電コア２２と受電コイル３３及び受電コア３４とが同軸上で対向することとなる。   The cavity 18 formed in the casing of the power receiver 1b, together with the plate portion 10 formed in the casing of the power feeder 1a, constitutes connection means for detachably connecting both casings. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the plate portion 10 of the casing of the power feeder 1a is inserted into the cavity 18 of the casing of the power receiver 1b and the connection between the two is completed, the power feeding coil 21, the power feeding core 22, and the power receiving coil are completed. 33 and the power receiving core 34 face on the same axis.

また、図１１及び図１２中、樹脂製のブロック４０は、凹陥部３１内に生じる空隙を埋めるためのものである。そして、図１２、図１３及び図１６において、金属製の導光用ブロック４１は、送受信部３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄに対応する受電ヘッド基板３２の通信用の貫通孔３２ｃをカバー板３６へと連通させるための複数の導光用孔４１ａが一定間隔をおいて形成されている。つまり、送受信部３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄは、複数の導光用孔４１ａ内にそれぞれ配置されていることとなる。導光用ブロック４１は、受電ヘッド基板３２上においてブロック４０と同様に凹陥部３１内に生じる空隙を埋める役割も果たすとともに、複数の導光用孔４１ａの位置決め機能をも有する。   In FIGS. 11 and 12, the resin block 40 is for filling a gap generated in the recessed portion 31. 12, 13, and 16, the light guide block 41 made of metal passes through the communication through hole 32 c of the power receiving head substrate 32 corresponding to the transmission / reception units 35 a, 35 b, 35 c, and 35 d to the cover plate 36. A plurality of light guide holes 41a are formed at regular intervals to communicate with each other. That is, the transmission / reception parts 35a, 35b, 35c, and 35d are respectively disposed in the plurality of light guide holes 41a. The light guide block 41 serves to fill a gap generated in the recessed portion 31 on the power receiving head substrate 32 as well as the block 40, and also has a function of positioning the plurality of light guide holes 41a.

また、導光用ブロック４１は、図１１に示すように例えばアルミニウム等の金属から角柱状に一体に成形された後、その複数の導光用孔４１ａが穴明け加工される。導光用ブロック４１は、受電ヘッド基板３２に対して電気的な絶縁性を保持して設置されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the light guide block 41 is integrally formed in a prismatic shape from a metal such as aluminum, and then a plurality of light guide holes 41a are drilled. The light guide block 41 is installed while maintaining electrical insulation with respect to the power receiving head substrate 32.

したがって、給電器１ａの送信部２３ａから出射した赤外光が受電器１ｂに入射した場合は、カバー板３６を透過した後、導光用ブロック４１の導光用孔４１ａの内周面で反射されて導光用孔４１ａの軸方向に案内されつつ、受電ヘッド基板３２の貫通孔３２ｃを経て受信部３５ａに入射する。   Therefore, when the infrared light emitted from the transmitter 23a of the power feeder 1a is incident on the power receiver 1b, it is reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the light guide hole 41a of the light guide block 41 after passing through the cover plate 36. Then, the light enters the receiving portion 35a through the through hole 32c of the power receiving head substrate 32 while being guided in the axial direction of the light guide hole 41a.

さらに、送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄから赤外光が出射した場合は、それぞれ受電ヘッド基板３２の貫通孔３２ｃを経て、導光用ブロック４１の導光用孔４１ａの内周面で反射されて導光用孔４１ａの軸方向に案内されつつ、カバー板３６を透過し、給電器１ａに入射する。   Further, when infrared light is emitted from the transmitters 35b, 35c, and 35d, it is reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the light guide hole 41a of the light guide block 41 through the through hole 32c of the power receiving head substrate 32, respectively. While being guided in the axial direction of the light guide hole 41a, the light passes through the cover plate 36 and enters the power feeder 1a.

そして、この給電器１ａに入射した赤外光は、カバー板２４を透過し、導光用ブロック２９の導光用孔２９ａの内周面で反射されて導光用孔２９ａの軸方向に案内されつつ、給電ヘッド基板２０の貫通孔２０ｃを経て、それぞれ受信部２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄに入射する。   The infrared light incident on the power feeder 1a passes through the cover plate 24, is reflected by the inner peripheral surface of the light guide hole 29a of the light guide block 29, and is guided in the axial direction of the light guide hole 29a. However, the light enters the receiving portions 23b, 23c, and 23d through the through holes 20c of the power feeding head substrate 20, respectively.

図１２、図１３及び図１５中、符号４２は端子３７，３８からケーブル３９の端に至る箇所に充填されるウレタン樹脂等からなるシール部材を示す。このシール部材４２は砂目のハッチングで示す。   12, 13, and 15, reference numeral 42 denotes a sealing member made of urethane resin or the like that fills a portion from the terminals 37 and 38 to the end of the cable 39. The seal member 42 is indicated by hatching.

また、図５、図１２及び図１４中、符号４３は位置決め機構としての上記ボールプランジャを示す。このボールプランジャ４３のボール４３ａがケーシングの空洞１８内に突出するようにケーシングに埋設される。ボール４３ａは図示しないスプリング等により空洞１８側へ付勢される。一方、図７に示すように、給電器１ａのケーシングにはボール４３ａに対応して穴４４が形成される。これにより、図５及び図６に示す如く給電器１ａの板部１０が受電器１ｂの空洞１８内に入り切ると、ボール４３ａが穴４４に嵌り込み、給電器１ａが受電器１ｂから不意に抜け出ないように給電器１ａを受電器１ｂ内に拘束する。   5, 12, and 14, reference numeral 43 indicates the ball plunger as a positioning mechanism. A ball 43 a of the ball plunger 43 is embedded in the casing so as to protrude into the cavity 18 of the casing. The ball 43a is urged toward the cavity 18 by a spring or the like (not shown). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, a hole 44 is formed in the casing of the power feeder 1a corresponding to the ball 43a. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the plate portion 10 of the power feeder 1a completely enters the cavity 18 of the power receiver 1b, the ball 43a fits into the hole 44, and the power feeder 1a unexpectedly moves from the power receiver 1b. The power feeder 1a is restrained in the power receiver 1b so as not to come out.

このように本実施形態の受電器１ｂによれば、受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄの光をそれぞれ案内する複数の導光用孔４１ａが形成された金属製の導光用ブロック４１を凹陥部３１内の受電ヘッド基板３２上に配置したことにより、導光用部分である複数の導光用孔４１ａが正確に位置決めされ、機器としての給電器１ａを大型化することなく、受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄを用いてデータ信号伝送時において、隣接する受信部３５ａ及び送信部３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄのデータ信号の漏洩による相互干渉を未然に防止することができる。   Thus, according to the power receiver 1b of the present embodiment, the metal light guide block 41 in which the plurality of light guide holes 41a for guiding the light of the reception unit 35a and the transmission units 35b, 35c, and 35d are formed. Is placed on the power receiving head substrate 32 in the recessed portion 31, so that the plurality of light guide holes 41a, which are light guide portions, are accurately positioned and received without increasing the size of the power feeder 1a as a device. When data signals are transmitted using the unit 35a and the transmission units 35b, 35c, and 35d, mutual interference due to leakage of data signals from the adjacent reception unit 35a and transmission units 35b, 35c, and 35d can be prevented.

次に、上記構成の非接触型データ及び電力伝送装置の作用について説明する。   Next, the operation of the non-contact type data and power transmission device having the above configuration will be described.

図３に示すように、給電器１ａのケーシングの板部１０を受電器１ｂのケーシングの空洞１８に対峙させて、図４及び図５に示すように、板部１０を空洞１８内に挿入する。挿入し終わると、図５に示すように、受電器１ｂ側のボールプランジャ４３のボール４３ａが給電器１ａ側のケーシングの穴４４に嵌り込み、給電器１ａと受電器１ｂとの連結が完了する。   As shown in FIG. 3, the plate portion 10 of the casing of the power feeder 1a is opposed to the cavity 18 of the casing of the power receiver 1b, and the plate portion 10 is inserted into the cavity 18 as shown in FIGS. . When the insertion is completed, as shown in FIG. 5, the ball 43a of the ball plunger 43 on the power receiver 1b side is fitted into the hole 44 of the casing on the power feeder 1a side, and the connection between the power feeder 1a and the power receiver 1b is completed. .

これにより、図６に示すように、受電コイル３３及び受電コア３４は給電コイル２１及び受電コア２２と互いに近接し、かつ同軸上で対向する。   Thereby, as shown in FIG. 6, the power receiving coil 33 and the power receiving core 34 are close to each other and coaxially opposed to the power feeding coil 21 and the power receiving core 22.

また、給電器１ａ及び受電器１ｂの双方の送受信部２３ａ，２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄ，３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄも互いに近接し、かつ同軸上で平行に対向する。これにより、双方の送受信部２３ａ，２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄ，３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄ間で所定の各種の情報が送受信可能となる。   Further, the transmission / reception units 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, 35a, 35b, 35c, and 35d of both the power feeder 1a and the power receiver 1b are also close to each other and face each other on the same axis in parallel. As a result, various kinds of predetermined information can be transmitted / received between the transmission / reception units 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, 35a, 35b, 35c, and 35d.

この連結操作は利用者Ａの左右の歩行補助装置に対してそれぞれ行われる。   This connection operation is performed on the left and right walking assist devices of the user A, respectively.

給電時には、制御部８を介して電源部７から給電器１ａ，２ａに電力が供給され、給電コイル２１に電圧が印加されることによって、給電コイル２１と受電コイル３３との間に電磁誘導回路が形成され、受電コイル３３が電磁誘導作用により誘電起電力を発生し、受電器１ｂ，２ｂが給電器１ａ，２ａから非接触で電力を受電する。各受電器１ｂ，２ｂで受電した電力は制御部８を介して歩行補助装置の左右の駆動部５，６の各ＤＣモータにそれぞれ供給される。   At the time of power feeding, power is supplied from the power supply unit 7 to the power feeders 1 a and 2 a via the control unit 8, and a voltage is applied to the power feeding coil 21, whereby an electromagnetic induction circuit is provided between the power feeding coil 21 and the power receiving coil 33. Is formed, the receiving coil 33 generates dielectric electromotive force by electromagnetic induction, and the power receivers 1b and 2b receive power from the power feeders 1a and 2a in a non-contact manner. The electric power received by each of the power receivers 1b and 2b is supplied to the DC motors of the left and right drive units 5 and 6 of the walking assistance device via the control unit 8, respectively.

また、給電器１ａと受電器１ｂとの送受信部２３ａ，２３ｂ，２３ｃ，２３ｄ，３５ａ，３５ｂ，３５ｃ，３５ｄ間で信号のやり取りが行われる。この信号は例えば負荷検出信号、モータ制御信号、センサ検出信号である。   In addition, signals are exchanged between the transmission / reception units 23a, 23b, 23c, 23d, 35a, 35b, 35c, and 35d between the power feeder 1a and the power receiver 1b. This signal is, for example, a load detection signal, a motor control signal, or a sensor detection signal.

制御部８は、主として演算機能を有するＣＰＵ（Central Processing Unit）、作業用ＲＡＭ、各種データやプログラムを記憶するＲＯＭ等を備える。上記ＣＰＵが、上記各種信号を処理し、ＲＯＭに記憶された各種プログラムを実行することにより、各部を制御するとともに、歩行補助装置の全体を統括制御する。   The control unit 8 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) mainly having a calculation function, a working RAM, a ROM for storing various data and programs, and the like. The CPU processes the various signals and executes the various programs stored in the ROM, thereby controlling each unit and overall controlling the walking assist device.
