Conventionally, a belt drive mechanism, which is a drive mechanism using a toothed belt for power transmission, is used, for example, to drive the opening and closing of a door of an automatic door device, and is used between a drive pulley connected to a drive motor and the drive pulley. It has a driven pulley that is spaced apart from each other, and a toothed belt that is annularly bridged to the drive pulley and the driven pulley (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In such a belt drive mechanism, in order to efficiently transmit power to the toothed belt by the drive pulley, a plurality of teeth that mesh with the teeth of the toothed belt are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the groove of the drive pulley on which the toothed belt is hung. There is.
On the other hand, some of the driven pulleys, such as the driven pulley described in Patent Document 1, have teeth formed on the inner peripheral surface of the groove on which the toothed belt is hung. However, when the function as a so-called idler is sufficient, FIG. As shown, the one in which teeth are not formed on the inner peripheral surface of the groove is used.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the driven pulley has a flange shape in which a pair of upright walls raised substantially perpendicular to the inner peripheral surface of the groove are provided at both ends in the axial direction.
This pair of upright walls prevents the toothed belt from coming off the driven pulley by contacting the end face of the toothed belt when the toothed belt during rotational drive moves closer to the end of the driven pulley. It is functioning.

Japanese Patent No. 6408645

However, as shown in FIG. 6, the conventional belt drive mechanism bridges the toothed belt 300 in an annular shape between the drive pulley (not shown) and the driven pulley 200 while holding a predetermined tension. It was a complicated task to allow the attached belt 300 to ride over the upright wall 210 from one end side of the driven pulley 200 and hang it on the groove inner peripheral surface 220.
Further, in the conventional belt drive mechanism, both end faces 310 of the toothed belt 300 are rubbed against the pair of upright walls 210 of the driven pulley 200 and deteriorate over time, so that the end faces 310 of the toothed belt 300 become the pair of upright walls 210. There was a problem that abnormal noise was generated when they came into contact with each other.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and the driven pulley can easily hang the toothed belt, and the toothed belt can prevent the generation of abnormal noise due to contact with the driven pulley even in long-term use. It is an object of the present invention to provide a belt drive mechanism capable of providing a belt drive mechanism and an automatic door device incorporating the belt drive mechanism.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention has the teeth between a toothed belt having a quadrangular cross section made of an elastic material and a drive pulley connected to a drive motor. The inner peripheral surface of the groove in which the toothed belt is hung in order to bridge the attached belt in an annular shape is from both ends to the center so that the center of the width in the axial direction is the bottom. It has a driven pulley having a curved shape formed so that the height gradually decreases toward the surface, and the inner peripheral surface of the groove is rotated between the drive pulley and the drive pulley which is rotationally driven by the drive motor. It is characterized in that the toothed belt has a curved shape so as not to come off from both ends.

Further, the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention is characterized in that, in the above invention, the groove inner peripheral surface is an arcuate curved surface.

Further, in the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention, in the above invention, the driven pulley has a shaft arranged parallel to the shaft of the drive motor and is inside the tip surface in the axial direction of the drive motor. It is characterized in that the width in the axial direction required for forming the curved surface shape of the inner peripheral surface of the groove is set by using the axial space.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems and achieve the object, the automatic door device according to the present invention incorporates the above-mentioned belt drive mechanism, and the door is connected to the toothed belt of the belt drive mechanism. The door is opened and closed.

Further, in the automatic door device according to the present invention, in the above invention, the belt drive mechanism is housed in the axial tip side of the drive motor and the driven pulley toward the opening to which the cover is attached, and the opening side. It is characterized by having an engine base in which the opening is formed at a position where the cover is attached without interfering with the axial dimension of the drive motor, which is a part of the belt drive mechanism most protruding from the above. And.

The belt drive mechanism according to the present invention has a groove inner peripheral surface of a groove on which the toothed belt is hung in order to bridge the toothed belt in an annular shape between the driven pulley and the driven pulley connected to the drive motor. However, the curved surface shape is formed so that the height gradually decreases from both ends to the center so that the center of the width in the axial direction is the bottom from both ends in the axial direction.
Further, the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention has a curved shape such that the toothed belt whose inner peripheral surface of the groove is rotated between the drive pulley driven by the drive motor does not come off from both ends. It has become.
Therefore, in the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention, since there is no pair of upright walls at both ends of the driven pulley like the conventional driven pulley, the toothed belt is annularly formed between the driven pulley and the driven pulley. The toothed belt can be easily moved from one end side in the width direction of the driven pulley toward the inner peripheral surface of the groove.
Further, in the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention, the width direction of a quadrangular cross section made of an elastic material is flexed by using elasticity, and the tip surface of the tooth is made to follow the curved surface shape of the inner peripheral surface of the groove. Both end surfaces of the toothed belt are less likely to come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the groove, and even if the toothed belt moves toward the end of the driven pulley during rotation, it is located at the center portion which is the bottom. By being returned, it does not come off from the driven pulley.
Therefore, in the belt drive mechanism according to the present invention, the driven pulley can easily hang the toothed belt, and even in long-term use, it is possible to prevent the generation of abnormal noise due to the toothed belt coming into contact with the driven pulley.

Since the automatic door device according to the claim of the present invention incorporates the above-mentioned belt drive mechanism, the same effect as the above-mentioned belt drive mechanism can be obtained.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an automatic door device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view of the periphery of the belt drive mechanism 1 viewed from the upper surface side, and is a partial cross-sectional view. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the periphery of the driven pulley 30 of the belt drive mechanism 1. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the periphery of the driven pulley 30 in a state where the toothed belt 40 of the belt drive mechanism 1 is removed. FIG. 5 is a view showing a driven pulley 30 in a partial cross section. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the prior art.
In FIG. 1, the automatic door device 100 is in a state in which the cover 121 of the engine base 120 is removed so that the belt drive mechanism 1 housed inside the engine base 120 can be visually recognized.
FIG. 5 also illustrates a bearing 33 for rotatably connecting to the shaft 32.
The belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention uses a toothed belt 40 for power transmission.
Further, in the automatic door device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the belt drive mechanism 1 is incorporated, and the belt drive mechanism 1 opens and closes the door 140 connected to the toothed belt 40.

The automatic door device 100 includes a main body frame 110, a belt drive mechanism 1, an engine base 120 that houses the belt drive mechanism 1, and a door 140 that is opened and closed by the belt drive mechanism 1.

The body frame 110 is made of, for example, aluminum and forms the skeleton of the device.
Each component of the automatic door device 100, such as the engine base 120, is fixed to the main body frame 110.

As shown in FIG. 2, the belt drive mechanism 1 is driven by a drive motor 10, a speed reduction mechanism 11, a drive pulley 20 connected to the drive motor 10 via the speed reduction mechanism 11, and a driven pulley 30 that functions as an idler. It has a toothed belt 40 that is annularly bridged between the pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30.

The drive pulley 20 is made of metal, and in order to efficiently transmit power to the toothed belt 40, a plurality of teeth that mesh with the teeth 42 of the toothed belt 40 on the groove inner peripheral surface 21a of the groove 21 on which the toothed belt 40 is hung. 22 is formed along the circumferential direction.
Further, the drive pulley 20 has a flange shape in which a pair of upright walls 23, 23 raised substantially vertically at both ends in the axial direction are provided.
When the toothed belt 40 being driven moves toward the end of the pair of upright walls 23, 23, the toothed belt 40 comes off from the drive pulley 20 by coming into contact with the end surface 40b of the toothed belt 40. It has a function to prevent.

Since the driven pulley 30 is made of resin and the toothed belt 40 is annularly bridged with the drive pulley 20, the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the groove 31 on which the toothed belt 40 is hung is as shown in FIG. , Both ends 30a and 30a in the shaft 32 direction are formed so that the height gradually decreases from both ends 30a and 30a toward the center 30b so that the central portion 30b of the width in the shaft 32 direction is at the bottom. It has a curved shape.
The driven pulley 30 has a curved surface shape so that the toothed belt 40 rotated between the driven pulley 20 and the drive pulley 20 rotationally driven by the drive motor 10 does not come off from both end portions 30a and 30a.

In this embodiment, the driven pulley 30 has an arcuate curved surface on the inner peripheral surface 31a of the groove. That is, the driven pulley 30 is formed with an arcuate groove inner peripheral surface 31a based on a circle having a diameter of a predetermined dimension.
Such a driven pulley 30 can be easily manufactured by carving out a groove inner peripheral surface 31a on a resin columnar member, in addition to mold molding.

Further, since the driven pulley 30 does not have a portion where both end surfaces 40b of the toothed belt 40 rub against each other, it is not necessary to select a material that is durable against the rubbing of the toothed belt 40, and as a result, the material is selected. The choices are widened, and materials with low cost can be used.

The toothed belt 40 is a belt having a quadrangular cross section made of an elastic material such as synthetic rubber, and has an endless annular belt body 41 and a plurality of teeth 42 formed on the inner peripheral surface 40a of the belt body 41. Have.
The toothed belt 40 of this embodiment has a rectangular cross-sectional shape in which the width direction is longer than the thickness direction.

In this toothed belt 40, as shown in FIG. 3, a convex portion 42 having teeth 42 formed on the inner peripheral surface 40a of the belt main body 41 and a concave portion 43 on which no teeth 42 are formed alternate in the circumferential direction. It is formed side by side.

In this embodiment, the toothed belt 40 has an endless ring shape, but may be ring-shaped by connecting both ends using a connecting member (not shown).

In such a belt drive mechanism 1, the drive pulley 20 connected via the gear mechanism of the reduction mechanism 11 is rotationally driven by driving the drive motor 10, and the driven pulley 30 is rotationally driven by the rotational drive of the drive pulley 20. The toothed belt 40 spanned in an annular shape is rotated between the two.

Therefore, in the toothed belt 40, the drive motor 10 is rotated and controlled in both the forward rotation direction and the reverse rotation direction by a control unit (not shown) of the automatic door device 100, so that the toothed belt 40 can be rotated in both the forward rotation direction and the reverse rotation direction. It is designed to be rotated.

When the toothed belt 40 is annularly bridged between the drive pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30 while holding a predetermined tension, the tip of the tooth 42 is placed on the curved groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30. The surfaces 42a are brought into contact with each other so as to follow them.
That is, in the toothed belt 40, the tip surface 42a of the tooth 42 is made to follow the curved surface shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a by bending the width direction of the rectangular cross section by using elasticity.

One of the reasons why the toothed belt 40 can follow the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 is that the curved surface shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a gradually changes to a shape that is easy to follow. It is mentioned as a factor.
Further, as another factor, the convex portion 42 in which the toothed belt 40 is formed and the concave portion 43 in which the tooth 42 is not formed are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 40a of the belt main body 41. It can be mentioned that they are formed side by side.
In other words, the surface of the toothed belt 40, which is the portion of the driven pulley 30 that comes into contact with the groove inner peripheral surface 31a, becomes a thin portion along the circumferential direction of the toothed belt 40 called the tip surface 42a of each tooth 42. Since the region is separated with the concave portion 43 as a boundary, it can be mentioned that the shape easily follows the curved surface shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a.

Further, as a further factor that the toothed belt 40 can follow the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30, the cross-sectional shape of the toothed belt 40 is rectangular with the width direction longer than the thickness direction. Therefore, it can be mentioned that the thickness direction to be bent in order to follow is thinner than the width direction.

In the toothed belt 40, the tip surface 42a of the tooth 42 follows the curved surface shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30, so that both end surfaces 40b are less likely to come into contact with the groove inner peripheral surface 31a. ..
More specifically, the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 has a curved shape formed from one end 30a to the other end 30a of the driven pulley 30 in the axial 32 direction. Therefore, the tip surface 42a of the tooth 42 of the toothed belt 40 follows the curved surface shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a, so that the toothed belt 40 is moved outward from both end surfaces 40b of the toothed belt 40 from the lower side. The expanding groove inner peripheral surface 31a is changed so as to gradually increase from the lower side of both end surfaces 40b of the toothed belt 40 toward both end portions 30a of the driven pulley 30.
That is, the groove inner peripheral surfaces 31a extending to both sides of both end faces 40b of the toothed belt 40 gradually increase in height from both end faces 40b to both end portions 30a as the distance from both end faces 40b increases.
Therefore, both end faces 40b of the toothed belt 40 are less likely to be rubbed by the driven pulley.

Further, when the toothed belt 40 is rotated in a state of being annularly bridged between the drive pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30 while holding a predetermined tension, the toothed belt 40 reaches the bottommost portion in the width direction 30b. The returning force is applied.
Therefore, even if the toothed belt 40 moves toward the end 30a of the driven pulley 30 during rotation, it is returned to the central portion 30b, which is the bottom, so that the belt 40 does not come off from the driven pulley 30. ..

Next, the engine base 120 will be described.
The engine base 120 is a case in which the belt drive mechanism 1 is housed so that the drive motor 10 and the driven pulley 30 are directed toward the opening 120a at the tip end side in the shaft 32 direction.
The engine base 120 is fixed to the main body frame 110 with an opening 120a on the front side in consideration of maintainability of the automatic door device 100.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the engine base 120 has a cover 121 attached to an opening 120a arranged corresponding to the dimension of the drive motor 10 in the axis 10a direction.
That is, the belt drive mechanism 1 housed in the engine base 120 with the tip side of the shaft 10a in the 32 direction facing the opening 120a is a portion where the drive motor 10 is most projected toward the opening 120a, and therefore the cover 121 is attached. In this state, the opening 120a of the engine base 120 is formed at a position where the cover 121 does not interfere with the drive motor 10.

In the automatic door device 100 incorporating such a belt drive mechanism 1, as shown in FIG. 1, the door 140 is connected to the toothed belt 40 by the connecting metal fitting 130, and the rotation direction of the toothed belt 40 is positive. The door 140 is slid in the opening / closing direction by being changed in the rolling direction and the reverse direction.

In the automatic door device 100, when the drive motor 10 is driven, the toothed belt 40 causes the tip surface 42a of the tooth 42 to follow the groove inner peripheral surface 31a, and both ends of the driven pulley 30 in the width direction of the driven pulley 30. It is rotated while being moved so as to return to the central portion 30b from the position closer to the portion 30a.
Therefore, the toothed belt 40 is rotated without coming off from the driven pulley 30 and without bringing both end surfaces 40b into contact with the driven pulley 30.

Next, a procedure for connecting the toothed belt 40 between the drive pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30 in an annular shape will be described.

First, the operator hangs the toothed belt 40 on the groove inner peripheral surface 21a of the drive pulley 20 so that the plurality of teeth 42 of the toothed belt 40 mesh with the plurality of teeth 22 of the drive pulley 20.

Next, the operator hangs the toothed belt 40 on the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 in a state where a predetermined tension is held between the drive pulley 20 and the driven pulley 20. A toothed belt 40 is bridged between them in a ring shape.
In this work, the operator pulls the toothed belt 40 toward the driven pulley 30 with one end side of the ring hung on the drive pulley 20 as a fulcrum, and pulls the other end side of the ring toward the driven pulley 30 at one end in the width direction of the driven pulley 30. By moving from the side toward the groove inner peripheral surface 31a, the drive pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30 are bridged in an annular shape.
When the worker bridges the toothed belt 40 between the drive pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30 in an annular shape, both ends 30a of the driven pulley 30 do not have a pair of upright walls like the conventional driven pulley. The toothed belt 40 can be easily moved from the widthwise one end portion 30a side of the driven pulley 30 toward the groove inner peripheral surface 31a.

In the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the groove 31 on which the toothed belt 40 is hung in order to bridge the toothed belt 40 in an annular shape between the driven pulley 30 and the driven pulley 30 connected to the drive motor 10. The groove inner peripheral surface 31a is formed so that the height gradually decreases from both end portions 30a to the central portion 30b so that the central portion 30b of the axial width is at the bottom from both end portions 30a in the axial 32 direction. It is a curved surface shape.
Further, in the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the toothed belt 40 whose inner peripheral surface 31a is rotated between the drive pulley 20 whose inner peripheral surface 31a is rotationally driven by the drive motor 10 is prevented from coming off from both ends. It has a curved surface shape.
Therefore, in the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since there is no pair of upright walls at both ends 30a of the driven pulley 30 as in the conventional driven pulley, teeth are provided between the driven pulley 20 and the driven pulley 30. When the attached belt 40 is bridged in an annular shape, the toothed belt 40 can be easily moved from the widthwise one end portion 30a side of the driven pulley 30 toward the groove inner peripheral surface 31a.
Further, in the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the width direction of a quadrangular cross section made of an elastic material is bent by using elasticity, and the tip surface 42a of the tooth 42 is formed into a curved shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a. By following, both end surfaces 40b of the toothed belt 40 are less likely to come into contact with the groove inner peripheral surface 31a, and even if the toothed belt 40 moves closer to the end portion 30a of the driven pulley 30 during rotation. By returning to the central portion 30b, which is the bottom, the driven pulley 30 is prevented from coming off.
Therefore, in the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the driven pulley 30 can easily hang the toothed belt 40, and even in long-term use, the toothed belt 40 comes into contact with the driven pulley 30 to generate abnormal noise. It can be prevented from occurring.

Further, in the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 is an arcuate curved surface, the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 is not formed by molding. It can be easily processed to a desired size by shaving or the like.

Further, in the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the driven pulley 30 has a shaft 32 arranged in parallel with the shaft 10a of the drive motor 10 and more than the tip surface 10b in the direction of the shaft 10a of the drive motor 10. Since the width in the shaft 32 direction required for forming the curved shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a is set by using the axial space on the inner side, the drive motor 10 protrudes most toward the tip side in the shaft 10a and 32 directions. In the case of the portion to be formed, the width of the driven pulley 30 in the shaft 32 direction, which is necessary for forming the curved shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a, can be set by effectively utilizing the space in the shaft 32 direction.

Further, since the automatic door device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention incorporates the belt drive mechanism 1, the same effect as that of the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention can be obtained.

Further, in the automatic door device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the belt drive mechanism 1 is housed in the axial tip side of the drive motor 10 and the driven pulley 30 toward the opening 120a to which the cover 121 is attached, and the opening 120a is provided. The engine base 120 has an opening 120a formed at a position where the cover 121 can be attached without interfering with the axial dimension of the drive motor 10, which is the part of the belt drive mechanism 1 that protrudes most to the side.
Therefore, in the automatic door device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the drive motor 10 of the belt drive mechanism 1 housed in the engine base 120 is the most protruding portion toward the opening 120a, the cover 121 is attached. In this state, an excess space is created between the driven pulley 30 and the cover 121 on the tip side in the shaft 32 direction.
Therefore, in the automatic door device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the axial width of the driven pulley 30 required for forming the curved surface shape of the groove inner peripheral surface 31a can be set by effectively utilizing the axial space. it can.

In the belt drive mechanism 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 is an example of an arcuate curved surface, but the groove inner peripheral surface of the driven pulley is the shaft of the driven pulley. It is a curved surface shape formed so that the height gradually decreases from both ends toward the center so that the center of the width in the axial direction becomes the bottom from both ends in the direction, and is rotationally driven by the drive motor 10. Any other shape may be used as long as the toothed belt 40 rotated with the drive pulley 20 has a curved surface shape so as not to come off from both end portions 30a. For example, the groove inner peripheral surface 31a of the driven pulley 30 may be elliptical.

The invention made by the present inventor has been specifically described above based on the above-mentioned examples of the invention, but the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples of the invention and does not deviate from the gist thereof. Can be changed in various ways.
