Description

本発明は、振動体と接触体を備えた、振動型アクチュエータに関するものである。 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a vibration actuator including a vibrating body and a contact body.

振動型アクチュエータは低速・大トルクなどの特徴から、例えば一眼レフカメラの撮影レンズにおけるオートフォーカスの駆動用モータとして実用化されており、近年はカメラ以外のさまざまな電子機器への適用も期待されている。例えば、ロボットアームの関節駆動やロボットハンドの回転駆動、監視カメラ等の撮像装置の雲台の回転駆動、画像形成装置の感光体ドラムの回転駆動への振動型アクチュエータの適用が期待されている。 Vibration-type actuators have been put to practical use, for example, as autofocus drive motors in the shooting lenses of single-lens reflex cameras, due to their low speed and high torque. there is For example, vibration actuators are expected to be applied to the joint drive of a robot arm, the rotation drive of a robot hand, the rotation drive of a camera platform of an imaging device such as a surveillance camera, and the rotation drive of a photosensitive drum of an image forming device.

このような他用途への適用に向けて、振動型アクチュエータの生産性の向上とローコスト化、これらの要求に対して、振動体が備える摩擦摺動部材を別部材で構成する技術が提案されている。(特許文献1参照)。これは、振動体の本体部とは別に摩擦摺動部材を製造し、のちに両者を接着させるものである。また同様に移動体(接触体)が備える摩擦摺動部材を別部材で構成する技術も提案されている。 For applications to such other uses, there have been proposed techniques for improving the productivity and reducing the cost of vibration-type actuators. there is (See Patent Document 1). In this method, the frictional sliding member is manufactured separately from the main body of the vibrating body, and then the two are bonded together. Similarly, a technology has also been proposed in which the frictional sliding member provided in the moving body (contacting body) is composed of a separate member.

特許文献1に記載された技術では、振動体と接触体共に別部材を接合後、摩擦摺動部をラップなどの後工程で加工を行い平滑化することを提案している。近年求められている静粛性におけるより低い音圧レベル基準を達成することを振動型アクチュエータに求められており、また、雲台やロボットハンドの回転駆動など高い位置制御性基準の観点においては、スムーズな動作を行うためである。 The technique described in Patent Document 1 proposes smoothing the frictional sliding portion by processing in a post-process such as lapping after joining separate members for both the vibrating body and the contacting body. Vibration-type actuators are required to achieve a lower sound pressure level standard for quietness, which is required in recent years. This is because the

しかしながら、摩擦摺動部を平滑化させるためのラップなどは、加工時間がかかりコストが高くなる原因となっている。 However, laps and the like for smoothing the frictional sliding portion take a long processing time and cause an increase in cost.

以下、本発明の実施形態について、添付図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
[Example 1]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<第1実施形態>
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る振動型アクチュエータ10の構成を概略的に示す断面図である。振動型アクチュエータ10における振動体20および接触体300(移動体、被駆動体)および加圧機構40等の機械的構成は、例えば特開2017-108615号公報に記載の振動型アクチュエータと機能的には同等である。
<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of a vibration actuator 10 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The mechanical configuration of the vibrating body 20, the contact body 300 (moving body, driven body), the pressure mechanism 40, etc. in the vibration type actuator 10 is functionally similar to that of the vibration type actuator described in, for example, JP-A-2017-108615. are equivalent.

本実施形態の振動型アクチュエータは、弾性体および電気-機械エネルギー変換素子を有する振動体と、振動体と接する接触体を備えている。加えて、電気-機械エネルギー変換素子に給電する給電部材(フレキシブルプリント基板)を備えている。 The vibration-type actuator of this embodiment includes a vibrating body having an elastic body and an electro-mechanical energy conversion element, and a contact body in contact with the vibrating body. In addition, a power supply member (flexible printed circuit board) for supplying power to the electro-mechanical energy conversion element is provided.

図1において、振動型アクチュエータ10は、円環状に形成された振動体20、円環状に形成された接触体300、および加圧機構40を備える。また、振動型アクチュエータ10は、シャフト、ハウジング、ベアリングを備える。 In FIG. 1 , the vibration actuator 10 includes an annular vibrating body 20 , an annular contact body 300 , and a pressure mechanism 40 . Also, the vibration type actuator 10 includes a shaft, a housing, and bearings.

振動体20は、弾性体21と、弾性体21に接合された電気-機械エネルギー変換素子である圧電素子22と、圧電素子22に接合されて圧電素子22に交流電圧である駆動電圧を印加するための給電部材100を有する。 The vibrating body 20 includes an elastic body 21, a piezoelectric element 22 that is an electro-mechanical energy conversion element joined to the elastic body 21, and a driving voltage that is an AC voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element 22 by joining to the piezoelectric element 22. It has a power supply member 100 for.

加圧機構40は制振ゴム41、加圧ばね受け部材42、加圧ばね受けゴム43、加圧ばね44及び加圧ばね固定部材45を有する。振動体20及び接触体300はシャフトを中心軸として同心円状に配置され、シャフトに固定された加圧機構40によってシャフトのスラスト方向に関して互いに加圧接触(摩擦接触)する。具体的には、シャフトに固定された加圧ばね固定部材45によって移動を規制された加圧ばね44が、制振ゴム41、加圧ばね受け部材42及び加圧ばね受けゴム43を介して接触体300をスラスト方向に押圧する。このように構成されることにより、接触体300と振動体20は安定的に接触する。 The pressure mechanism 40 has damping rubber 41 , pressure spring receiving member 42 , pressure spring receiving rubber 43 , pressure spring 44 and pressure spring fixing member 45 . The vibrating body 20 and the contact body 300 are arranged concentrically with the shaft as the center axis, and pressurized contact (frictional contact) with each other in the thrust direction of the shaft by the pressure mechanism 40 fixed to the shaft. Specifically, the pressure spring 44 whose movement is restricted by the pressure spring fixing member 45 fixed to the shaft comes into contact with the damping rubber 41 , the pressure spring bearing member 42 and the pressure spring bearing rubber 43 . The body 300 is pressed in the thrust direction. With this configuration, the contact body 300 and the vibrating body 20 are stably brought into contact with each other.

振動型アクチュエータ10では、給電部材100を通して圧電素子22へ交流電圧である駆動電圧を印加することにより、振動体20に駆動振動を励起させる。駆動振動の態様は圧電素子22が有する複数の電極の数や配置形態に依存するが、励起される駆動振動が振動体10の周方向に進むn次(本実施形態ではn=9)の進行波となるように、圧電素子22が設計される。なお、n次の駆動振動とは振動体20の周方向における波数がn個となる曲げ振動である。圧電素子22に発生した駆動振動は振動体20の接触部25に生じた進行波によって、接触体300をシャフト回りの周方向へ駆動する。すなわち、接触体300は振動体20と同心を保ったまま、相対的に回転運動する。接触体300に発生した回転力は加圧機構40とシャフトを通して外部へ出力される。 In the vibration-type actuator 10 , a drive voltage, which is an AC voltage, is applied to the piezoelectric element 22 through the power supply member 100 to excite drive vibration in the vibrator 20 . The mode of the drive vibration depends on the number and arrangement of the plurality of electrodes of the piezoelectric element 22, but the excited drive vibration progresses in the circumferential direction of the vibrating body 10 in the order of n (n=9 in this embodiment). The piezoelectric element 22 is designed to be a wave. Note that the nth-order drive vibration is bending vibration in which the number of waves in the circumferential direction of the vibrating body 20 is n. The driving vibration generated in the piezoelectric element 22 drives the contact body 300 in the circumferential direction around the shaft by the traveling wave generated at the contact portion 25 of the vibrating body 20 . That is, the contact member 300 rotates relative to the vibrating member 20 while maintaining its concentricity. The rotational force generated in the contact body 300 is output to the outside through the pressure mechanism 40 and the shaft.

図1に描かれている本実施形態の振動型アクチュエータ10は、例えばハウジングを所望の部材に固定し、シャフトの下方に末広がりに構成されているフランジ面にカメラ等の可動対象を固定することで、可動対象を自由に回転駆動させることができる。他方で、シャフトを固定してハウジングを回転駆動させることも可能である。 The vibration type actuator 10 of the present embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 has a housing fixed to a desired member, for example, and a movable object such as a camera is fixed to a flange surface that widens toward the bottom of the shaft. , the movable object can be freely rotated. On the other hand, it is also possible to drive the housing in rotation by fixing the shaft.

図2は、振動体20に励起される駆動振動の変形の様態を説明するための図である。なお、図2では、振動体20において励起される駆動振動の変位に対する理解を容易にするために、変位を実際よりも誇張している。 2A and 2B are diagrams for explaining a deformation mode of driving vibration excited in the vibrating body 20. FIG. In addition, in FIG. 2, the displacement is exaggerated more than the actual displacement in order to facilitate the understanding of the displacement of the drive vibration excited in the vibrating body 20. As shown in FIG.

図3(a)は、接触体300の構成と前出の振動体と異なる形態の振動体20の構成を概略的に示す断面図であり、本実施形態の振動体20は断面が台形形状である弾性体21を備えている。弾性体21には電気-機械エネルギー変換素子である圧電素子22が接合させている。なお、駆動電圧を圧電素子22に印加するための給電部材をはじめとするその他の部材は前出の振動アクチュエータと同等であるため、不図示とする。接触体300は、本体部材301と、本体部材301と別の部材である摩擦部材302を有する。本体部材301と摩擦部材302は接着又は接合により連結されている。 FIG. 3(a) is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the contact member 300 and the configuration of the vibrating body 20 having a shape different from the above vibrating body. The vibrating body 20 of this embodiment has a trapezoidal cross section. A certain elastic body 21 is provided. A piezoelectric element 22 that is an electro-mechanical energy conversion element is joined to the elastic body 21 . Note that other members such as a power supply member for applying a drive voltage to the piezoelectric element 22 are not shown because they are the same as those of the aforementioned vibration actuator. The contact body 300 has a body member 301 and a friction member 302 which is a member different from the body member 301 . The body member 301 and the friction member 302 are connected by adhesion or bonding.

本体部材301は、基底部301aと、接触体300の径方向に延出した支持部301bを有する。支持部301bは断面がL字形状をしており、端部に摩擦部材302が連結している。本体部材301は円環状に構成される。 The body member 301 has a base portion 301 a and a support portion 301 b extending in the radial direction of the contact body 300 . The support portion 301b has an L-shaped cross section, and a friction member 302 is connected to the end portion thereof. The body member 301 is configured in an annular shape.

図3(b)は接触体300と、弾性体21が接触する摩擦接触部の詳細断面図である。摩擦部材302には弾性体21と接触する第1接触部302a、第1摩擦部302aと隣接し弾性体21と接触していない第1非接触部302bを有する。弾性体21は、第1摩擦部302aと接する第2摩擦部21aと、第2摩擦部21aと隣接し摩擦部材302と接触していない第2非接触部21bを有する。つまり、第1摩擦部は支持部に保持されるとともに、第1摩擦部の環状の接触体の径方向に対する両端部は、接触体および前記振動体のいずれにも接触しない部位を有するように構成されている。 FIG. 3B is a detailed cross-sectional view of the contact body 300 and the frictional contact portion where the elastic body 21 contacts. The friction member 302 has a first contact portion 302 a that contacts the elastic body 21 and a first non-contact portion 302 b that is adjacent to the first friction portion 302 a and does not contact the elastic body 21 . The elastic body 21 has a second friction portion 21 a that is in contact with the first friction portion 302 a and a second non-contact portion 21 b that is adjacent to the second friction portion 21 a and is not in contact with the friction member 302 . That is, the first friction portion is held by the support portion, and both radial end portions of the annular contact body of the first friction portion have portions that do not come into contact with either the contact body or the vibrating body. It is

摩擦部材302は弾性体21に対し硬度が低く、第2摩擦部20bは弾性体の第2摩擦部21bよりも二乗平均粗さが小さい。簡単に表現すると摩擦部材302は弾性体21に対し柔らかく滑らかな表面性状であり、弾性体21は摩擦部材302に対し硬く粗い表面性状を有している。 The friction member 302 has a lower hardness than the elastic body 21, and the second friction part 20b has a smaller root mean square roughness than the second friction part 21b of the elastic body. To put it simply, the friction member 302 has a soft and smooth surface texture with respect to the elastic body 21 , and the elastic body 21 has a hard and rough surface texture with respect to the friction member 302 .

摩擦部材302は弾性体21に対し断面形状が曲率を有する凸形状をしており、円環状に構成される。本実施形態での曲率の大きさはR0.6であり凸形状全域で同一の曲率であるが、位置により曲率が変化する可変曲率でも良く、使用する環境や製品寿命により、曲率を選択しても良い。摩耗していない初期状態の摩擦部材302の凸形状先端は、弾性体21の粗い面に点接触するが、摩擦摺動をすることにより摩擦部材302の凸形状先端の摩耗が進み且つ弾性体21の粗い面も摩耗し、共に平坦な部分が形成される。また摩擦部材302は円環状に構成されるため初期状態の周上では線接触であり、摩耗が進むと平面接触となる。 The friction member 302 has a convex cross-sectional shape with a curvature with respect to the elastic body 21, and is configured in an annular shape. In this embodiment, the magnitude of the curvature is R0.6, which is the same throughout the convex shape, but it may be a variable curvature that varies depending on the position, and the curvature can be selected according to the environment and product life. Also good. The convex tip of the friction member 302 in the initial state, which is not worn, comes into point contact with the rough surface of the elastic body 21 . The rougher surfaces of the are also worn away, forming flat sections together. Further, since the friction member 302 is formed in an annular shape, it is in line contact on the periphery in the initial state, and becomes plane contact as the wear progresses.

図4は摩擦部材302と弾性体21の摩擦接触状態を模式的に示した断面図であり、図4aは摩耗していない摩擦摺動部の初期状態、図4bは初期摩耗が進み定常状態になった摩擦摺動部を示している。図4aに示すように初期状態では、摩擦部材302、弾性体21共に摩耗していないため摩擦部材302の凸形状先端と弾性体21の粗い面の突出した部分が点で接触した面圧の高い状態である。図4bに示すように複数回動作させると、摩擦材302の凸形状先端が摩耗し、弾性体21の硬い粗い面も摩耗して平坦な部分が形成され、面圧が低下している状態になる。摩擦材302は径方向に曲率を有しており、摩耗が徐々に進行していっても滑らかな表面性状をしているため常に平滑な面が弾性体21と接触し、スムーズな回転と静粛さを維持することが可能となる。 4A and 4B are cross-sectional views schematically showing the state of frictional contact between the friction member 302 and the elastic body 21. FIG. 4A shows the initial state of the friction sliding portion without wear, and FIG. It shows a twisted friction slide. As shown in FIG. 4a, in the initial state, both the friction member 302 and the elastic body 21 are not worn, so the convex end of the friction member 302 and the protruding part of the rough surface of the elastic body 21 contact each other at points, resulting in high surface pressure. state. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the friction material 302 is operated multiple times, the convex tip of the friction material 302 is worn, and the hard and rough surface of the elastic body 21 is also worn to form a flat portion, resulting in a state in which the surface pressure is reduced. Become. The friction material 302 has a curvature in the radial direction and has a smooth surface even when wear progresses gradually. It is possible to maintain the

また製造工程における出荷検査の動作確認時に、定常使用する回転数や負荷よりも大きい回転と負荷を与えるため、振動体に大きな振幅が発生し定常使用時の接触領域よりも広い範囲で接触、初期摩耗し、それに応じた弾性体21の硬い粗い面が平坦になる。そのため摩擦材302の摩耗が進んでも弾性体21の初期摩耗が終了した平坦な部分と接触するためスムーズな回転と静粛さを維持することが出来る。弾性体21が摩擦部材302より柔らかく摩耗し易いと、溝状に摩耗し摩擦部材302がその溝に嵌ってしまうためスムーズな回転を阻害する原因となる。本実施形態における摩擦部材302はSUS420j2の板材をプレスにより所望の形状に成形した後、焼入れ処理を行う。硬度はビッカース硬さで580Hv程であり、初期摩耗が起こる前の第1接触部302a及び第1非接触部302bの二乗平均粗さRqは0.213μmであった。また、弾性体21は鉄鋼系の材料に窒化処理が施してあり、コストアップに繋がるラップなど滑らかな表面性状へ改質する処理は施されていない。弾性体の表層硬度はビッカース硬さで1100Hv程であり、初期摩耗が起こる前の第2接触部21a及び第2非接触部21bの二乗平均粗さRqは0.461μmであった。複数台のモータの観察をしたところ初期摩耗が起こる前の第1接触部302a及び第1非接触部と初期摩耗が起こる前の第2接触部及び第2非接触部の硬度は4<=5、二乗平均粗さは2<=2.5の関係であることが良好であることが分かった。窒化処理は塩浴窒化、ガス窒化、イオン窒化などが挙げられいずれの処理でも良い。窒化処理は部品表層に窒素を侵入拡散させ硬化させるため表層と母材との間に硬度差が生じる。そのため硬化層以上に摩耗すると加速的に摩耗が進行するため摩擦部材302の方の硬度が低く相対的に摩耗し易いことが好ましいのである。 In addition, when confirming the operation of the shipping inspection in the manufacturing process, the rotation speed and load that are larger than the rotation speed and load that are used in normal use are applied. As it wears, the hard rough surface of the elastic body 21 flattens accordingly. Therefore, even if the wear of the friction material 302 progresses, it contacts the flat portion of the elastic body 21 where the initial wear is finished, so smooth rotation and quietness can be maintained. If the elastic body 21 is softer than the friction member 302 and wears easily, the friction member 302 wears in a groove-like manner and the friction member 302 fits in the groove, which hinders smooth rotation. The friction member 302 in the present embodiment is formed by pressing a plate material of SUS420j2 into a desired shape, and then performing a quenching treatment. The Vickers hardness was about 580 Hv, and the root-mean-square roughness Rq of the first contact portion 302a and the first non-contact portion 302b before initial wear occurred was 0.213 μm. In addition, the elastic body 21 is made of a steel-based material that is subjected to nitriding treatment, and is not subjected to treatment such as lapping that leads to an increase in cost to improve the smooth surface properties. The surface layer hardness of the elastic body was about 1100 Hv in terms of Vickers hardness, and the root-mean-square roughness Rq of the second contact portion 21a and the second non-contact portion 21b before initial wear occurred was 0.461 μm. As a result of observing a plurality of motors, the hardness of the first contact portion 302a and the first non-contact portion before initial wear and the second contact portion and the second non-contact portion before initial wear are 4<=5. , the root-mean-square roughness has a good relationship of 2<=2.5. Nitriding includes salt bath nitriding, gas nitriding, and ion nitriding, and any of them may be used. In the nitriding treatment, nitrogen penetrates and diffuses into the surface layer of the part to harden it, so a difference in hardness occurs between the surface layer and the base material. Therefore, it is preferable that the friction member 302 has a low hardness and is relatively easy to wear because the wear progresses at an accelerated rate when the wear exceeds the hardened layer.

なお前記摩擦部については、第1摩擦部は、支持部に対して環状の接触体の径方向に対して、内嵌合および/または外嵌合するように構成してもよい。第1摩擦部は、環状の線材を用いてよい。 As for the friction portion, the first friction portion may be configured to fit inside and/or outside the support portion in the radial direction of the annular contact body. A ring-shaped wire rod may be used for the first friction portion.

接触体300は、摩擦面302aで振動体20と接触し、支持部301bが接触ばねの機能を持つ。接触ばねのばね剛性のバラツキは振動アクチュエータの異音(鳴き)に原因となる。そのため、接触ばねである支持部301bは、加工誤差があってもばね剛性にバラツキが発生しないように、アルミニウム合金や真鍮等の低ヤング率の材料で構成することが好ましい。一方、摩擦部材302は振動体20と摩擦接触するため弾性体21よりも硬度が低いものの耐摩耗性の高い鉄鋼等の材料が好ましい。一般的に、鉄鋼等の耐摩耗性の高い材料は、アルミニウム合金や真鍮等の材料と比較し、硬くてヤング率が高い。つまり、支持部301bを構成する材料のヤング率は、摩擦部材302を構成する材料よりもヤング率が低いことが好ましい。 The contact member 300 contacts the vibrating member 20 at the friction surface 302a, and the support portion 301b functions as a contact spring. Variation in the spring rigidity of the contact spring causes abnormal noise (squeal) of the vibration actuator. Therefore, the support portion 301b, which is a contact spring, is preferably made of a material with a low Young's modulus, such as an aluminum alloy or brass, so that variations in spring rigidity do not occur even if there is a manufacturing error. On the other hand, since the friction member 302 is in frictional contact with the vibrating body 20, it is preferably made of a material such as steel having a lower hardness than the elastic body 21 but a high abrasion resistance. In general, materials with high wear resistance such as steel are harder and have a higher Young's modulus than materials such as aluminum alloys and brass. That is, the Young's modulus of the material forming the support portion 301 b is preferably lower than that of the material forming the friction member 302 .

また、基底部301aは、制振ゴム41と接触し、減衰効果により振動アクチュエータの異音を抑制する。 Also, the base portion 301a is in contact with the damping rubber 41, and suppresses abnormal noise of the vibration actuator by a damping effect.

本体部材301と摩擦部材302の材料と加工方法について説明する。摩擦部材302は、耐摩耗性の高い材料が好ましく、ステンレス等の鉄鋼材料の板材を用いて、プレス加工と焼入れ処理で製造することができる。一方、本体部材301は、振動減衰の機能が求められるため、減衰性が高い材料であり、さらに、高精度に加工できる快削材料が好ましく、摩擦部材302よりも快削性の高いアルミニウム合金や真鍮等を用いて、切削加工で製造することができる。本体部材301は表面処理されていても良く、例えば、アルミニウム合金であれば、アルマイト処理されていても良い。なお、摩擦部材302と本体部材301の製造方法は上記挙げた方法に限らない。摩擦部材302の加工方法としては、レーザー加工、放電加工、切削、エッチング等、又はそれらを複合した方法が考えられる。また、摩擦部材302の熱処理としては、窒化、浸炭等でもよく、熱処理以外にもメッキなどの硬化処理でもよい。また、本体部材301の加工方法としては、ダイキャスト、鍛造等、又はそれらを複合した方法が考えられる。 Materials and processing methods for the main body member 301 and the friction member 302 will be described. The friction member 302 is preferably made of a highly wear-resistant material, and can be manufactured by press working and quenching using a plate material of a steel material such as stainless steel. On the other hand, since the main body member 301 is required to have a vibration damping function, it is made of a material with high damping properties, and is preferably made of a free-cutting material that can be machined with high accuracy. It can be manufactured by cutting using brass or the like. The main body member 301 may be surface-treated, for example, if it is an aluminum alloy, it may be anodized. The method of manufacturing the friction member 302 and the main body member 301 is not limited to the above methods. As a processing method for the friction member 302, laser processing, electric discharge processing, cutting, etching, etc., or a combination thereof can be considered. Further, the heat treatment of the friction member 302 may be nitriding, carburizing, or the like, and hardening treatment such as plating may be used in addition to the heat treatment. As a method for processing the main body member 301, die casting, forging, etc., or a method combining them can be considered.

本体部材301と摩擦部材302の組立について説明する。本体部材301は部品の剛性が高いため、摩擦部材302よりも高精度に製造することができる。特に高い位置決め精度を求められる雲台やロボットハンドにおいては、スムーズな動作を行うために接触体と振動体との接触する面の高い平面度が求められる。本体部材301は部品の剛性が高いため、振動体20と接触する側の面301cが高い平面度を得ることが出来る。 Assembly of the body member 301 and the friction member 302 will be described. Since the main body member 301 has high rigidity, it can be manufactured with higher accuracy than the friction member 302 . In particular, pan heads and robot hands, which require high positioning accuracy, require high flatness of the contact surface between the contact body and the vibrating body in order to perform smooth operations. Since the main body member 301 has high rigidity, the surface 301c on the side that contacts the vibrating body 20 can obtain high flatness.

一方、摩擦部材302は、プレス加工や焼入れ処理などの製造過程で大きな歪みが発生する。しかし摩擦部材302は部品としての剛性が低いため、容易に弾性変形させることができる。したがって、高精度な本体部材301を基準として、摩擦部材302を弾性変形させながら、摩擦面302aが高い平面度の状態になる。 On the other hand, the friction member 302 is greatly distorted during manufacturing processes such as press working and quenching. However, since the friction member 302 has low rigidity as a part, it can be easily elastically deformed. Therefore, the friction surface 302a becomes highly flat while elastically deforming the friction member 302 with the high-precision main body member 301 as a reference.

本実施形態では摩擦部材302は焼入れ処理後化学研磨処理を施しており、ラップなどの平滑化処理は行っていない。摩擦部材302の製造方法を上記に挙げているが、切削痕やプレス時に発生するバリなどを除去するためにラップなどの平滑化処理を行いスムーズな回転や静粛さを得ており、この工程に時間がかかることがコストアップに繋がっている。化学研磨処理は短時間で切削痕、バリなどを除去することができ、平滑な表面性状を得ることによりスムーズな回転や静粛さを得ることが可能となる。また化学研磨処理に限らず、電解研磨でも良い。化学研磨及び電解研磨はリン酸系または硫酸系の溶液にて表面改質を施すものであってよい。これら以外の表面性状を平滑にする方法として、バフ研磨が挙げられる。布状の柔らかい素材で磨くため曲率を有する部品でも平滑な表面性状を得ることが可能である。このように振動体20と接触する側の面301cが高い平面度であることにより、それに倣った摩擦部材302は、加工時間がかかるラップなどの処理を行うことなく、曲率を有したまま平滑な表面性状と高い平面度を得ることが出来る。 In this embodiment, the friction member 302 is subjected to chemical polishing treatment after quenching treatment, and smoothing treatment such as lapping is not performed. The manufacturing method of the friction member 302 is mentioned above, but in order to remove cutting marks and burrs generated during pressing, a smoothing process such as lapping is performed to obtain smooth rotation and quietness. It takes time, which leads to increased costs. Chemical polishing can remove cut marks, burrs, etc. in a short period of time, and by obtaining smooth surface properties, it is possible to obtain smooth rotation and quietness. Electrolytic polishing may be used instead of chemical polishing. Chemical polishing and electropolishing may involve surface modification with a phosphoric acid-based or sulfuric acid-based solution. Buffing is another method for smoothing the surface properties other than these. Since it is polished with a cloth-like soft material, it is possible to obtain a smooth surface even on parts with curvature. Since the surface 301c on the side contacting the vibrating body 20 has a high degree of flatness, the friction member 302 that follows the surface can be made smooth while maintaining its curvature without performing processing such as lapping that takes a long time to process. Surface properties and high flatness can be obtained.

また、本体部材301と摩擦部材302は金属同士の摩擦を避けるため、接着、接合により連結させることが好ましい。これにより、振動型アクチュエータに異音(鳴き)を抑制することができる。 In order to avoid metal-to-metal friction, the body member 301 and the friction member 302 are preferably connected by adhesion or bonding. As a result, it is possible to suppress abnormal noise (squeal) in the vibration type actuator.

図5は、本実施形態の変形例の一例を示す図である。接触体310は、本体部材311と、本体部材311とは別部材の摩擦部材312を有する。本体部材311は、基底部311aと、接触体310の径方向に延在した端部断面形状がL字の支持部311bを有し、円環状に構成される。摩擦部材312は、弾性体21(図示せず)の接触する第1摩擦部312a、第1摩擦部312aと隣接し弾性体21と接触していない第1非接触部312b、接触体310の中心軸に沿う方向に延在し、支持部311bと嵌合する篏合部312cを有している。なお、第1摩擦部と前記第1非接触部は連続した一つの部材で構成されていてもよい。また前記第1摩擦部と前記第1非接触部は前記環状の接触体の径方向に沿って曲面を形成していてもよい。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a modification of this embodiment. The contact body 310 has a body member 311 and a friction member 312 which is a separate member from the body member 311 . The body member 311 has a base portion 311a and a support portion 311b extending in the radial direction of the contact body 310 and having an L-shaped cross-sectional end portion, and is configured in an annular shape. The friction member 312 includes a first friction portion 312 a that contacts the elastic body 21 (not shown), a first non-contact portion 312 b adjacent to the first friction portion 312 a and not in contact with the elastic body 21 , and a center of the contact body 310 . It has a fitting portion 312c that extends in the direction along the axis and fits with the support portion 311b. The first friction portion and the first non-contact portion may be composed of one continuous member. Further, the first friction portion and the first non-contact portion may form curved surfaces along the radial direction of the annular contact body.

摩擦部材312は、プレス加工や焼入れ処理等の製造過程で大きな歪みが発生することがある。しかし摩擦部材312は部品としての剛性が低いため、容易に弾性変形させることが可能である。したがって、高精度な本体部材311の支持部311bを基準として、摩擦部材312を弾性変形させながら、篏合部312cを内径嵌合させる。そのことで、摩擦面312aが高い平面度の状態で、かつ摩擦部材312の貼りずれを抑制し、摩擦面312aの真円度を向上させることが可能である。図6のように外径篏合でも同様の効果が得られる。 The friction member 312 may be greatly distorted during manufacturing processes such as press working and quenching. However, since the friction member 312 has low rigidity as a component, it can be easily elastically deformed. Therefore, with the support portion 311b of the main body member 311 having high precision as a reference, the fitting portion 312c is internally fitted while the friction member 312 is elastically deformed. As a result, it is possible to keep the friction surface 312a in a state of high flatness, suppress misalignment of the friction member 312, and improve the circularity of the friction surface 312a. A similar effect can be obtained with outer diameter fitting as shown in FIG.

図7は、本実施形態の変形例の一例を示す図である。接触体320は、本体部材321と、本体部材とは別部材の摩擦部材322を有する。本体部材321は、弾性体21(図示せず)側の面に溝321cが設けられており、溝321cの両側に保持部321dが設けられている。摩擦部材322が保持部321dに両持梁状に配置されることにより、摩擦部材322が接触ばねの機能を持つ。摩擦部材322に接触ばねの機能を持たせているため、摩擦部材322の板厚と溝321cを変えることにより、接触ばねの剛性を調整することができる。摩擦部材322は第2摩擦部と接触する第1摩擦部と第1非接触部を有する湾曲部を備えており、化学研磨などにより平滑な表面性状を得ることにより、スムーズな回転と静粛性を実現することが出来る。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a modification of this embodiment. The contact body 320 has a main body member 321 and a friction member 322 which is a separate member from the main body member. The main body member 321 is provided with a groove 321c on the surface on the elastic body 21 (not shown) side, and holding portions 321d are provided on both sides of the groove 321c. The friction member 322 has a function of a contact spring because the friction member 322 is arranged on the holding portion 321d in the form of a beam supported on both sides. Since the friction member 322 has the function of a contact spring, the rigidity of the contact spring can be adjusted by changing the plate thickness of the friction member 322 and the groove 321c. The friction member 322 has a curved portion that has a first friction portion that contacts the second friction portion and a first non-contact portion, and has been given a smooth surface by chemical polishing or the like to achieve smooth rotation and quietness. It can be realized.

図8は、本実施形態の変形例の一例を示す図である。本体部材331は、基底部331aと、接触体330の径方向に延在した支持部331bを有する。支持部331b先端の弾性体21(図示せず)と接触する面にはV状の溝331eが形成されており、線状の摩擦部材332がV状の溝331eに嵌め込まれ接合されている。本実施形態ではSUS420j2のワイヤ両端を溶接し環状にした摩擦部材332を使用しているが、接着、拡散接合などでワイヤ両端を接合しても良い。またワイヤ両端を接合せずV溝331cに嵌め込んでも良い。溝はV状以外にも矩形状、U字溝状でも良いが位置決めが容易であるV状が好ましい。このように化学研磨などにより平滑な表面性状を得たワイヤの側面を摩擦部材として使用してもスムーズな回転と静粛性を実現することが出来る。図9は支持部331bの先端の断面がL字形状をしており、その外径側に線状の摩擦部材332が嵌合されている。このような形態でも同様な効果が得られる。 FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a modification of this embodiment. The body member 331 has a base portion 331 a and a support portion 331 b extending in the radial direction of the contact body 330 . A V-shaped groove 331e is formed in the surface of the support portion 331b contacting the elastic body 21 (not shown), and the linear friction member 332 is fitted and joined to the V-shaped groove 331e. In this embodiment, the annular friction member 332 is used by welding both ends of a SUS420j2 wire, but the wire ends may be joined by adhesion, diffusion bonding, or the like. Alternatively, both ends of the wire may be fitted into the V groove 331c without joining. The grooves may be rectangular or U-shaped instead of V-shaped, but V-shaped is preferable because positioning is easy. Smooth rotation and quietness can be realized even if the side surface of the wire, which has been given a smooth surface by chemical polishing or the like, is used as a friction member. In FIG. 9, the tip of the support portion 331b has an L-shaped cross section, and a linear friction member 332 is fitted to the outer diameter side of the support portion 331b. Similar effects can be obtained with such a form.

図10は、本実施形態の変形例の一例を示す図である。本実施形態では本体部材341と摩擦部材342を一体としている。そのため接触体340全体が耐摩耗性の高いSUS420j2を焼入れした材料を使用している。切削加工により製造されているため第1摩擦部に切削痕が残るが、後工程にて化学研磨などを施すことにより表面性状が平滑となりスムーズな回転と静粛性を実現することが出来る。 FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a modification of this embodiment. In this embodiment, the body member 341 and the friction member 342 are integrated. Therefore, the contact body 340 as a whole is made of quenched SUS420j2 with high wear resistance. Since it is manufactured by cutting, cutting marks remain on the first friction part, but by applying chemical polishing in a post-process, the surface texture becomes smooth and smooth rotation and quietness can be realized.

図6は、雲台800と、雲台800に搭載された撮像装置840の構成を概略的に示す図である。雲台800は、ベース820と、2つの振動型アクチュエータ870、880を備えるヘッド810と、撮像装置840を固定するためのLアングル830を備える。パン軸に設けられた振動型アクチュエータ880は、ヘッド810とLアングル830と撮像装置840を、ベース820に対してパン軸まわりに回転させるためのアクチュエータである。また、チルト軸に設けられた振動型アクチュエータ870は、Lアングル830と撮像装置840を、ヘッド810に対してチルト軸まわりに回転させるためのアクチュエータである。 FIG. 6 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a camera platform 800 and an imaging device 840 mounted on the camera platform 800. As shown in FIG. The platform 800 includes a base 820, a head 810 having two vibration actuators 870 and 880, and an L angle 830 for fixing an imaging device 840. FIG. A vibration actuator 880 provided on the pan axis is an actuator for rotating the head 810, the L angle 830, and the imaging device 840 with respect to the base 820 around the pan axis. A vibration type actuator 870 provided on the tilt axis is an actuator for rotating the L angle 830 and the imaging device 840 with respect to the head 810 around the tilt axis.

雲台800に2つの振動型アクチュエータ870、880を用いることにより、撮像装置840の向きを高速、高応答、静粛、高精度に変える事が可能となる。また、振動型アクチュエータは無通電時でも高い保持トルクを持つため、撮像装置840のチルト軸まわりの重心ずれがあっても振動型アクチュエータの電力を消費することなく撮像装置40の向きを維持することができる。 By using two vibration type actuators 870 and 880 in the pan head 800, it is possible to change the orientation of the imaging device 840 at high speed, high response, quietness, and high accuracy. In addition, since the vibration type actuator has high holding torque even when no power is supplied, the orientation of the imaging device 40 can be maintained without consuming the power of the vibration type actuator even if there is a shift in the center of gravity of the imaging device 840 around the tilt axis. can be done.
