Description

本発明は、永久磁石に着磁を施す装置に関し、更に詳しく述べると、被着磁物を、そのキュリー点以上の温度からキュリー点未満の温度まで降温させつつ、その間、着磁磁界を印加し続ける永久磁石の着磁方法で使用する着磁装置に関するものである。この技術は、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば極小径ステッピングモータのロータに用いるリング状永久磁石の多極着磁などに有効である。   The present invention relates to an apparatus for magnetizing a permanent magnet. More specifically, the present invention lowers the temperature of an object to be magnetized from a temperature above its Curie point to a temperature below its Curie point while applying a magnetizing magnetic field. The present invention relates to a magnetizing device used in a permanent magnet magnetizing method. Although this technique is not particularly limited, it is effective for, for example, multipolar magnetization of a ring-shaped permanent magnet used for a rotor of a very small diameter stepping motor.

ラジアルギャップ方式の永久磁石ステッピングモータなどに組み込むリング状永久磁石ロータを多極着磁するには、一般にコイル通電方式の着磁装置が用いられている。この種の着磁装置は、例えば磁気ヨークに、被着磁物であるリング状永久磁石を挿入・抜出可能な被着磁物収容穴を設けると共に、該被着磁物収容穴の内壁面に軸方向に延びる溝を多数形成し、該溝内に絶縁被覆導線を埋設して、隣り合う絶縁被覆導線がつづら折れ状に連続してコイルを形成する構造である。被着磁物を被着磁物収容穴に挿入し、コンデンサに蓄えた電荷を瞬時に放出することで、コイルにパルス電流を流し、それによって発生する磁界により着磁を行っている。   In order to multi-polarize a ring-shaped permanent magnet rotor incorporated in a radial gap type permanent magnet stepping motor or the like, a coil energization type magnetizing apparatus is generally used. This type of magnetizing device is provided with a magnetized object accommodation hole into which a ring-shaped permanent magnet, which is a magnetized object, can be inserted / extracted in a magnetic yoke, for example, and an inner wall surface of the magnetized object accommodation hole In this structure, a plurality of grooves extending in the axial direction are formed, and insulation-coated conductors are embedded in the grooves, and adjacent insulation-coated conductors are continuously folded to form a coil. The magnetized object is inserted into the magnetized object receiving hole, and the electric charge stored in the capacitor is instantaneously released, so that a pulse current is passed through the coil and magnetized by the magnetic field generated thereby.

周知のように、近年の電子機器の著しい小型化に対応して、それに使用するステッピングモータなども小型化・小径化が進んでいる。ロータとして用いるリング状永久磁石を多極着磁する際、上記のようなコイル通電方式の着磁装置を用いてパルス状の大きな電流を流すが、リング状永久磁石の小径化に伴い、着磁ピッチ(着磁極間距離)が狭くなり、そのため配設するコイルの導線径が細くなって、導線に流せる電流値が制限されるため、十分な着磁特性が得られない問題が生じてきた。   As is well known, in response to the recent remarkable downsizing of electronic devices, stepping motors and the like used therefor have also been downsized and reduced in diameter. When a ring-shaped permanent magnet used as a rotor is magnetized in multiple poles, a large pulsed current is passed using the coil energization type magnetizing device as described above. Since the pitch (distance between magnetized magnetic poles) is narrowed, the diameter of a conducting wire is reduced, and the current value that can be passed through the conducting wire is limited. Therefore, there has been a problem that sufficient magnetization characteristics cannot be obtained.

このような問題を解決できる一つの手法として、複数の永久磁石を放射状に配置することによって中心部に複数の反転磁極を形成し、その中心部に被着磁物を配置することにより4極以上の多極着磁を行う方法が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。確かに、このような永久磁石方式の着磁装置の使用によって、被着磁物の磁極ピッチの狭小化に際して問題となる着磁不足は、ある程度改善できる。   As one method that can solve such a problem, a plurality of inverted magnetic poles are formed in the central portion by arranging a plurality of permanent magnets radially, and four or more poles are provided by arranging an adherend in the central portion. Has been proposed (see Patent Document 1). Certainly, by using such a permanent magnet type magnetizing apparatus, the insufficient magnetization which becomes a problem when the magnetic pole pitch of the object to be magnetized is reduced can be improved to some extent.

しかし、最近のステッピングモータの小型化(小径化)・高性能化に対する要望は極めて大きい。例えば携帯映像機器のオートフォーカス機構などでは、高精細な画像を得るためにレンズアクチュエータを高精度で制御できる狭ピッチ多極着磁されたステッピングモータが重要な電子部品となっている。ここでは、ロータを構成するリング状永久磁石としては、例えば直径3mm以下、着磁極数が10極以上の狭ピッチ構造に対して、飽和着磁レベルの着磁特性というような要求がある。このような着磁構造に対しては、上記のような従来の着磁方法では、例え永久磁石方式であっても着磁不足が生じ、しかも表面磁束密度ピーク値のばらつきが大きい問題が生じる。   However, there is a great demand for downsizing (smaller diameter) and higher performance of recent stepping motors. For example, in an autofocus mechanism of a portable video device, a stepping motor magnetized with a narrow pitch multipolar magnet capable of controlling a lens actuator with high accuracy in order to obtain a high-definition image is an important electronic component. Here, as a ring-shaped permanent magnet constituting the rotor, for example, there is a demand for a magnetization characteristic of a saturation magnetization level for a narrow pitch structure having a diameter of 3 mm or less and a number of magnetic poles of 10 or more. For such a magnetized structure, in the conventional magnetizing method as described above, there is a problem that magnetization is insufficient even if the permanent magnet method is used, and the variation of the surface magnetic flux density peak value is large.

着磁不足を改善する技術として、被着磁物を高温の雰囲気や液中における飽和着磁磁界の減少を利用して着磁する方法も提案されている(特許文献2など参照)。例えば、希土類永久磁石の一種であるPr−Fe−B磁石において、100℃での着磁磁界は25℃での着磁磁界に比較して低い値をもつから、この温度領域で着磁を行うことにより、安定な低磁界での飽和着磁をすることが可能であることが開示されている。   As a technique for improving the lack of magnetization, a method of magnetizing an object to be magnetized using a decrease in saturation magnetization magnetic field in a high-temperature atmosphere or liquid has been proposed (see Patent Document 2). For example, in a Pr—Fe—B magnet, which is a kind of rare earth permanent magnet, the magnetization magnetic field at 100 ° C. has a lower value than the magnetization magnetic field at 25 ° C., and thus magnetization is performed in this temperature region. Thus, it is disclosed that it is possible to perform saturation magnetization in a stable low magnetic field.

ところが、実際に着磁を行ってみると、前記のような極小径・多極といった着磁ピッチの狭いリング状永久磁石では、表面磁束密度ピーク値全極の平均値については多少の着磁特性の向上はみられるものの、依然として、表面磁束密度ピーク値のばらつきは大きく、高品質の着磁は極めて困難である。

However, when actually magnetizing, in the ring-shaped permanent magnet with a narrow magnetization pitch such as the above-mentioned minimum diameter and multipole, the average value of all the poles of the surface magnetic flux density peak value is somewhat magnetized. However, the variation in the surface magnetic flux density peak value is still large, and high quality magnetization is extremely difficult.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、極小径・多極といった着磁ピッチの狭いリング状永久磁石でも、着磁不足が生じず、着磁品質を高めることができ、低コストで強力な着磁作業を効率よく迅速に行えるような装置を提供することである。本発明が解決しようとする他の課題は、被着磁物に対して十分な着磁を行えるような小型の着磁装置を提供することである。本発明が解決しようとする更に他の課題は、被着磁物の着磁特性を容易に制御できる着磁装置を提供することである。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is that even with a ring-shaped permanent magnet with a narrow magnetization pitch, such as extremely small diameters and multiple poles, there is no shortage of magnetization, the magnetization quality can be improved, and strong magnetization at low cost. It is to provide a device that can perform work efficiently and quickly. Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a small magnetizing apparatus capable of sufficiently magnetizing an object to be magnetized. Still another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a magnetizing apparatus that can easily control the magnetizing characteristics of the object to be magnetized.

着磁不足が生じず、着磁品質を高めることができる技術として、本発明者等は、先に、被着磁物である永久磁石を、そのキュリー点以上の温度からキュリー点未満の温度まで降温させつつ、その間、被着磁物に着磁磁界を印加し続ける永久磁石の着磁方法を提案した(特願2005−343193)。この方法によれば、極小径・多極着磁構造でも、着磁特性(磁力特性)が高く、且つ着磁品質の良好なリング状永久磁石が得られる。   As a technique that does not cause insufficient magnetization and can improve the magnetization quality, the present inventors have first made a permanent magnet, which is an object to be magnetized, from a temperature above its Curie point to a temperature below its Curie point. A permanent magnet magnetization method was proposed in which the magnetizing magnetic field was continuously applied to the object to be magnetized while the temperature was lowered (Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-343193). According to this method, it is possible to obtain a ring-shaped permanent magnet having high magnetization characteristics (magnetic force characteristics) and good magnetization quality even with a very small diameter / multipole magnetization structure.

本発明は、このような着磁方法を実施するのに有効な装置である。即ち本発明は、加熱部と着磁部を別体構造として軸方向に配設すると共に、リング状被着磁物の保持部材を前記加熱部及び着磁部に対して相対的に移動可能とし、前記加熱部は被着磁のキュリー点以上の温度に設定され、着磁部は被着磁のキュリー点未満の温度になっており、前記加熱部で被着磁物のキュリー点以上の温度に加熱された前記被着磁物が前記着磁部に移されて被着磁物のキュリー点未満の温度まで冷却され、その間、前記着磁部で着磁磁界が印加され続けて多極着磁されるようにしたことを特徴とする多極のリング状永久磁石の着磁装置である。具体的には、被着磁物を収容する加熱空間の内面が加熱面となる加熱部と、被着磁物を収容する着磁空間の内面が着磁面となる着磁部を組み合わせ、被着磁物を保持する棒状の保持部材が前記加熱部及び着磁部を貫通して軸方向に相対的に移動可能に設置されている構造などとする。本発明では、加熱部と着磁部を固定し、それらに対して被着磁物の保持部材を移動してもよいし、逆に被着磁物の保持部材を固定し、それに対して加熱部と着磁部を移動するように構成してもよい。着磁は、被着磁物の内面から、あるいは外面から行う場合もあるし、内外両面から行う場合もある。


The present invention is an apparatus effective for implementing such a magnetization method. That is, according to the present invention, the heating part and the magnetized part are arranged in the axial direction as separate structures, and the holding member for the ring-shaped magnetized object can be moved relative to the heating part and the magnetized part. the heating unit is set to a temperature above the Curie point of the magnetization object, magnetized has become a temperature lower than the Curie point of the object to be magnetized was above the Curie point of the deposited磁物 by the heating unit wherein heated to a temperature cooled deposited磁物is to a temperature below the Curie point of the deposition磁物 been moved to the magnetized portion, while the multi-continues to be magnetizing field is applied in the magnetized portion a magnetizer for multipolar ring-shaped permanent magnet, characterized in that it has to be very magnetized. Specifically, a heating part in which the inner surface of the heating space for accommodating the magnetized object becomes a heating surface and a magnetized part in which the inner surface of the magnetizing space for accommodating the magnetized object becomes a magnetized surface are combined, It is assumed that a rod-like holding member for holding a magnetized material is installed so as to pass through the heating part and the magnetized part so as to be relatively movable in the axial direction. In the present invention, the heating part and the magnetized part may be fixed, and the holding member for the magnetized object may be moved relative to them, or conversely, the holding member for the magnetized object may be fixed and heated against it. It is configured so as to move the parts and magnetized not good. Magnetized from an inner surface of the adherend磁物, or to sometimes performed from the outer surface, there is also a case where the inner and outer surfaces.


前記加熱部と着磁部は、例えば相互の位置関係が変わらないように支持されている。加熱部と着磁部の間には、断熱部材を介装するのが好ましい。また、着磁部には、室温以上で被着磁物のキュリー点未満の温度に設定可能な温度調節装置を付設するのが好ましい。   The heating part and the magnetized part are supported, for example, so that the mutual positional relationship does not change. It is preferable to interpose a heat insulating member between the heating part and the magnetized part. Moreover, it is preferable to attach to the magnetized portion a temperature adjusting device that can be set to a temperature not lower than the room temperature and lower than the Curie point of the object to be magnetized.

着磁部は、コイルに通電することにより発生する磁界を印加するコイル通電方式でもよいが、特に極小径の永久磁石を多極着磁するような場合には、永久磁石による磁界を印加する永久磁石方式の方が好ましい。そのような着磁部の場合は、被着磁物よりもキュリー点が高い複数の着磁用永久磁石を配列して構成する。温度調節装置は、着磁用永久磁石が永久減磁を生じない温度を上限として設定するのが好ましい。着磁用永久磁石としては、例えば高キュリー点のSmCo系焼結磁石の他、着磁条件によっては比較的キュリー点の低いNd系焼結磁石なども使用できる。着磁部は、例えば、被着磁物がリング状磁石の場合、非磁性ブロックの中央に着磁空間となる被着磁物を挿入・抜出可能な被着磁物収容穴を設けると共に、該被着磁物収容穴の内面から外向き放射状に延びる多数本の溝を等角度で設け、各溝に着磁用永久磁石をそれぞれ埋設した構造とする。   The magnetized portion may be a coil energization system that applies a magnetic field generated by energizing the coil, but in particular when a very small permanent magnet is magnetized in multiple poles, a permanent magnet that applies a magnetic field by the permanent magnet is used. A magnet system is preferred. In the case of such a magnetized portion, a plurality of magnetizing permanent magnets having a Curie point higher than that of the object to be magnetized are arranged. It is preferable that the temperature adjusting device sets the temperature at which the permanent magnet for magnetization does not cause permanent demagnetization as an upper limit. As a permanent magnet for magnetization, for example, an SdCo-based sintered magnet having a high Curie point, an Nd-based sintered magnet having a relatively low Curie point, etc. can be used depending on the magnetization conditions. For example, in the case where the magnetized object is a ring magnet, the magnetized portion is provided with a magnetized object accommodation hole into which a magnetized object that becomes a magnetized space can be inserted / extracted in the center of the non-magnetic block, A plurality of grooves extending radially outward from the inner surface of the magnetized object accommodation hole are provided at equal angles, and a permanent magnet for magnetizing is embedded in each groove.

本発明は、着磁部と加熱部が縦に配列され、軸の方向が垂直となる竪配置形式であってもよいし、加熱部と着磁部が横に並べられ、軸の方向が水平となる横配置形式でもよい。   The present invention may be a saddle arrangement type in which magnetized portions and heating portions are arranged vertically and the axis direction is vertical, or the heating portions and magnetized portions are arranged side by side, and the axis direction is horizontal. It may be a horizontal arrangement form.

本発明の着磁装置は、加熱部と着磁部を別体構造とし、それらに対して被着磁物の保持部材が相対的に移動可能となるように構成されているので、被着磁物を加熱部でキュリー点以上の温度に加熱し、次いで着磁部に移してキュリー点未満の温度まで降温させつつ、その間、着磁磁界を印加し続ける作業を、一連の操作で素早く容易に行うことができ、着磁の作業性が向上する。これによって、極小径・多極といった着磁ピッチの狭いリング状永久磁石でも、着磁不足が生じず、着磁品質を高めることができ、低コストで強力な着磁が効率よく行える。   The magnetizing apparatus of the present invention has a structure in which the heating unit and the magnetizing unit are separated from each other, and the holding member of the magnetized object is relatively movable with respect to them. A series of operations makes it easy to quickly apply a magnetizing magnetic field while heating an object to a temperature above the Curie point and then lowering the temperature to a temperature below the Curie point. This can improve the workability of magnetization. As a result, even in a ring-shaped permanent magnet with a narrow magnetization pitch, such as a very small diameter and multiple poles, insufficient magnetization does not occur, the magnetization quality can be improved, and powerful magnetization can be efficiently performed at low cost.

特に、着磁部としてキュリー点の高い永久磁石を用いる永久磁石方式とすると、着磁ピッチの狭小化に対応し易いため、直径3mm以下の極小径、10極以上の多極のリング状永久磁石の着磁に有効であるし、装置の簡素化や長寿命化を図ることができ、通電不要などにより運転コストを低減化できる利点も生じる。   In particular, if a permanent magnet system using a permanent magnet with a high Curie point is used as the magnetized portion, it is easy to cope with the narrowing of the magnetization pitch. It is effective for the magnetization of the device, and it is possible to simplify the device and extend its life, and there is an advantage that the operation cost can be reduced due to the necessity of energization.

着磁部に、室温以上で被着磁物のキュリー点未満の温度に設定可能な温度調節装置を付設すると、被着磁物を室温よりも高温状態で取り出すことが可能となり、熱減磁作用により所望の特性を得ることができ、その温度制御を着磁部での被着磁物の保持時間で行うことができる。   If a temperature adjusting device that can set the magnetized part at a temperature above room temperature and below the Curie point of the object to be magnetized is attached, the object to be magnetized can be taken out at a temperature higher than room temperature, and the thermal demagnetization action Thus, desired characteristics can be obtained, and the temperature can be controlled by the holding time of the magnetized object in the magnetized portion.

また、着磁部として、被着磁物よりもキュリー点が高い複数の着磁用永久磁石を配列した構造とし、該着磁用永久磁石が永久減磁を生じない温度を上限として設定された温度調節装置を付設すると、永久減磁(不可逆減磁)を生じない温度で着磁できるので、例えばNd系焼結磁石のような永久磁石を用いても十分な着磁を行うことができる。   The magnetized portion has a structure in which a plurality of magnetizing permanent magnets having a Curie point higher than that of the object to be magnetized are arranged, and the upper limit is a temperature at which the magnetizing permanent magnet does not cause permanent demagnetization. When a temperature control device is provided, magnetization can be performed at a temperature at which permanent demagnetization (irreversible demagnetization) does not occur. Therefore, sufficient magnetization can be performed even using a permanent magnet such as an Nd-based sintered magnet.

特に、竪配置形式で且つ着磁部が上方、加熱部が下方の位置関係の場合には、着磁部と加熱部との間に断熱部材を介装することで、加熱部の熱が自然対流により着磁部に及ぶのを防止することができる。   In particular, in the case of the saddle arrangement type and the magnetized part is in the upper position and the heated part is in the lower position, a heat insulating member is interposed between the magnetized part and the heated part, so that the heat of the heated part is natural. It is possible to prevent the magnetized portion from reaching due to convection.

図1は、本発明に係る着磁装置の一実施例を示す説明図である。この着磁装置は、筒型構造をなし内壁面(円柱状の加熱空間の外周面)が加熱面となる加熱部10と、筒型構造をなし内壁面(円柱状の着磁空間の外周面)が着磁面となる着磁部12を具備し、それらは別体であって、軸方向に(軸に沿った方向に)配設されている。この例は、加熱部10が下方に位置し、着磁部12が上方に位置するように縦に配列され、軸の方向が垂直となる竪配置形式である。加熱部10と着磁部12とは、それらの位置関係が変わらないように支持され、互いに一定の間隔をあけて設けられ、それらの間に断熱部材14が介装されている。着磁部12の外側には、冷却部16が設けられている。他方、被着磁物(永久磁石)20を保持する棒状の保持部材22が、前記加熱部10及び着磁部12を貫通して軸方向に相対的に移動可能に設置される。ここでは、加熱部10と着磁部12が固定され、保持部材22が上下駆動機構24で上下方向に駆動されて被着磁物20が移動するように構成されている。一般に、保持部材の方が軽量であるため、迅速に移動させ易いからである。勿論、保持部材を固定し、加熱部と着磁部を駆動機構で移動させるようにしてもよい。加熱部10の温度及び上下駆動機構24の動作など(被着磁物の位置や停止時間など)は、制御部26で制御される。   FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of a magnetizing apparatus according to the present invention. This magnetizing apparatus includes a heating unit 10 having a cylindrical structure and an inner wall surface (an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical heating space) serving as a heating surface, and an inner wall surface (an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical magnetizing space). ) Includes a magnetized portion 12 serving as a magnetized surface, which are separate and are disposed in the axial direction (in the direction along the axis). This example is a saddle arrangement format in which the heating unit 10 is positioned below and the magnetized unit 12 is positioned vertically so that the axis direction is vertical. The heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12 are supported so that their positional relationship does not change, are provided at a predetermined interval, and a heat insulating member 14 is interposed therebetween. A cooling unit 16 is provided outside the magnetized unit 12. On the other hand, a rod-shaped holding member 22 that holds the magnetic object (permanent magnet) 20 is installed so as to be movable in the axial direction through the heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12. Here, the heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12 are fixed, and the magnetized object 20 is moved by the holding member 22 being driven in the vertical direction by the vertical drive mechanism 24. This is because the holding member is generally lighter and can be easily moved quickly. Of course, the holding member may be fixed, and the heating unit and the magnetizing unit may be moved by a driving mechanism. The temperature of the heating unit 10 and the operation of the vertical drive mechanism 24 (position of the magnetized object, stop time, etc.) are controlled by the control unit 26.

着磁部の内部構造の一例を図2に示す。この例は、永久磁石により生じる磁界を着磁磁界として被着磁物に印加する永久磁石方式である。なお図2は、図1のx−x位置での水平断面を示している。被着磁物20はリング状の永久磁石であり、それを10極着磁する例である。着磁部12は、非磁性ブロック(例えばステンレス鋼製ブロック)30の中央に、被着磁物20を挿入・抜出可能な円形の被着磁物収容穴32を設けると共に、該被着磁物収容穴32の内壁面から放射状に延びる10本の断面矩形の溝34を等角度で設け、各溝34に被着磁物よりもキュリー点が高い断面四角形の棒状の着磁用永久磁石36をそれぞれ埋設した構造である。従って、着磁部12の内壁面が着磁面となる。   An example of the internal structure of the magnetized portion is shown in FIG. This example is a permanent magnet system in which a magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet is applied to an object to be magnetized as a magnetizing magnetic field. FIG. 2 shows a horizontal cross section at the position xx in FIG. The object to be magnetized 20 is a ring-shaped permanent magnet, and is an example of magnetizing it. The magnetized portion 12 is provided with a circular magnetized object accommodation hole 32 into which a magnetized object 20 can be inserted and extracted at the center of a nonmagnetic block (for example, a stainless steel block) 30 and the magnetized part. Ten grooves 34 having a rectangular cross section extending radially from the inner wall surface of the object accommodation hole 32 are provided at equal angles, and each groove 34 has a quadrangular rod-shaped permanent magnet 36 having a Curie point higher than that of the magnetized object. It is the structure which buried each. Therefore, the inner wall surface of the magnetized portion 12 becomes a magnetized surface.

加熱部10は、ここでは外周側の加熱部本体40と、その内周側に位置する伝熱部42からなり、例えば加熱部本体40に多数の軸方向に延びる向きのシースヒータ(抵抗加熱器)を円周状に配列した構造である。加熱部本体40で発生した熱は、熱伝導性の良好な真鍮などからなる伝熱部42により内側へと伝わる。従って、伝熱部42の内壁面が加熱面となる。この加熱部10は、被着磁物収容穴44内に位置する被着磁物を、そのキュリー点以上に加熱でき、所定の一定温度に維持できる能力を有するものである。   Here, the heating unit 10 includes a heating unit main body 40 on the outer peripheral side and a heat transfer unit 42 located on the inner peripheral side thereof. For example, the heating unit 10 has a sheath heater (resistance heater) oriented in a number of axial directions. Are arranged in a circumferential shape. The heat generated in the heating unit main body 40 is transmitted to the inside by the heat transfer unit 42 made of brass having good thermal conductivity. Therefore, the inner wall surface of the heat transfer section 42 becomes a heating surface. The heating unit 10 has the capability of heating the magnetic object positioned in the magnetic object receiving hole 44 to a temperature above its Curie point and maintaining it at a predetermined constant temperature.

リング状の被着磁物20を保持する棒状の保持部材22は、下支え46と上押さえ48の組み合わせからなり、上下から被着磁物20を挾持する構造である。勿論、下支えのみでも保持は可能である。加熱部10は周囲の空気も加熱し、加熱された空気は上昇して着磁部12を加熱しようとする。断熱部材14は、加熱部10の上部に位置する着磁部12が自然対流などにより加熱されるのを防ぐものであり、耐熱性能及び断熱性能を有するものであれば、任意の材料、任意の形状(厚さ)であってよい。冷却部16は、着磁部12を冷却し、着磁部12の温度をほぼ一定に維持する機能を果たすものである。加熱部10が一定温度で制御されることで、冷却部16の自然放冷により着磁部10はほぼ一定に保たれる。勿論、冷却部16も温度制御を行ってもよい。   The rod-shaped holding member 22 that holds the ring-shaped magnetic object 20 is a combination of a lower support 46 and an upper presser 48 and has a structure that holds the magnetic object 20 from above and below. Of course, the holding can be performed only by the support. The heating unit 10 also heats the surrounding air, and the heated air rises and tries to heat the magnetized unit 12. The heat insulating member 14 prevents the magnetized portion 12 positioned above the heating unit 10 from being heated by natural convection or the like. It may be a shape (thickness). The cooling unit 16 serves to cool the magnetized unit 12 and maintain the temperature of the magnetized unit 12 substantially constant. By controlling the heating unit 10 at a constant temperature, the magnetized unit 10 is kept substantially constant by natural cooling of the cooling unit 16. Of course, the cooling unit 16 may also perform temperature control.

本発明では、高温下で着磁用永久磁石36が被着磁物20に対して着磁できる磁界を発生できるように、着磁用永久磁石のキュリー点を被着磁物である永久磁石のキュリー点よりも高く設定する。そして、被着磁物の着磁のために必要な磁界を最小限にするために、加熱温度を被着磁物である永久磁石のキュリー点よりも高く設定し、更に着磁用永久磁石が被着磁物に着磁できる磁界を残存させ着磁能力をもたせるために、通常、前記の加熱温度を着磁用永久磁石のキュリー点より低く設定する。   In the present invention, the Curie point of the magnetizing permanent magnet is set so that the magnetizing permanent magnet 36 can generate a magnetic field that can magnetize the magnetized object 20 at a high temperature. Set higher than the Curie point. In order to minimize the magnetic field required for magnetization of the magnetized object, the heating temperature is set higher than the Curie point of the permanent magnet that is the magnetized object, and the magnetizing permanent magnet is Usually, the heating temperature is set lower than the Curie point of the permanent magnet for magnetization in order to leave a magnetic field that can be magnetized on the object to be magnetized and to have a magnetizing ability.

被着磁物20がNdFeB等方性磁石(キュリー点:材質などによって350〜390℃程度)の場合を例にとると、着磁用永久磁石36としてはSmCo焼結磁石(キュリー点:約850℃)が好適である。加熱部10としては、被着磁物のキュリー点Tc以上に加熱できる性能が必要である(実験結果によれば、Tc+30℃程度以上まで加熱できることが望ましい)。   Taking the case where the object to be magnetized 20 is an NdFeB isotropic magnet (Curie point: about 350 to 390 ° C. depending on the material) as an example, the permanent magnet 36 for magnetization is an SmCo sintered magnet (Curie point: about 850). ° C) is preferred. The heating unit 10 needs to be capable of being heated to a Curie point Tc or higher of the adherend (it is desirable that it can be heated to about Tc + 30 ° C. or higher according to experimental results).

図3は、この着磁装置の動作を示す説明図である。Aは加熱工程を示しており、Bは着磁工程を示している。Aに示すように、被着磁物20を加熱部10内に置いて、該被着磁物のキュリー点以上に加熱する。例えば、被着磁物がNdFeB等方性磁石(キュリー点:約350℃)の場合、加熱部10で被着磁物20を380℃程度まで加熱する。次に、素早く保持部材22を駆動して、Bに示すように、被着磁物20を着磁部12に挿入し、着磁用永久磁石36により所定の着磁磁界を印加する。すると、被着磁物20は、前記着磁部12内に設置されたままキュリー点未満の温度まで冷却される(実験結果によれば、Tc−50℃以下まで冷却するのが好ましい)。これにより、被着磁物への最大限の着磁が可能となり、被着磁物への着磁がなされるため、被着磁物のキュリー点を下回る温度まで冷却されたときに、十分な磁力が発生する。その後、被着磁物20を着磁部12から取り出す。被着磁物20の大きさにもよるが、極小径で熱容量が小さい場合には、数秒程度のサイクルで着磁を行うことができる。   FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing the operation of this magnetizing apparatus. A indicates a heating process, and B indicates a magnetization process. As shown in A, the object to be magnetized 20 is placed in the heating unit 10 and heated to the Curie point or more of the object to be magnetized. For example, when the adherend is an NdFeB isotropic magnet (Curie point: about 350 ° C.), the adherend 20 is heated to about 380 ° C. by the heating unit 10. Next, the holding member 22 is quickly driven, and the object to be magnetized 20 is inserted into the magnetized portion 12 as shown in B, and a predetermined magnetizing magnetic field is applied by the magnetizing permanent magnet 36. Then, the object to be magnetized 20 is cooled to a temperature lower than the Curie point while being installed in the magnetized portion 12 (according to the experimental results, it is preferable to cool to Tc−50 ° C. or lower). As a result, the maximum magnetization can be applied to the object to be magnetized, and the object to be magnetized is magnetized. Therefore, when the object is cooled to a temperature below the Curie point of the object to be magnetized, sufficient Magnetic force is generated. Thereafter, the object to be magnetized 20 is taken out from the magnetized portion 12. Although depending on the size of the object to be magnetized 20, when the heat capacity is small with a very small diameter, magnetization can be performed in a cycle of about several seconds.

以上の一連の操作によって、被着磁物であるリング状の永久磁石の外周面には、着磁磁極に対応した磁極が現れ、室温では十分に着磁された永久磁石を得ることができる。図4に、製品50であるリング状永久磁石に施されている多極着磁の状況を示す。   Through the series of operations described above, a magnetic pole corresponding to the magnetized magnetic pole appears on the outer peripheral surface of the ring-shaped permanent magnet, which is an object to be magnetized, and a permanent magnet that is sufficiently magnetized at room temperature can be obtained. FIG. 4 shows the situation of multipolar magnetization applied to the ring-shaped permanent magnet that is the product 50.

図5は、本発明に係る着磁装置の他の実施例を示す縦断面図である。図5のAに示す着磁装置も、筒型構造をなし内壁面が加熱面となる加熱部10と、筒型構造をなし内壁面が着磁面となる着磁部12を具備し、それらが別体であって、軸方向に配設されている。この例は、加熱部10と着磁部12が横に並べられ、軸の方向が水平となっている横配置形式である。加熱部10と着磁部12とは、それらの位置関係が変わらないように支持されている。着磁部12の外周側には、冷却部16が設けられている。他方、被着磁物20を保持する棒状の保持部材22が、前記加熱部10及び着磁部12を貫通して軸方向に相対的に移動可能に設置される。この構成では、着磁部12と加熱部10が横並びとなっているので、自然対流などによって着磁部が加熱されることはない。そのため、着磁部12と加熱部10の間に必ずしも断熱部材を介在させる必要はない。加熱部10で加熱された被着磁物20が水平左手方向に移動して着磁部12で着磁される。なお、被着磁物の水平方向の駆動機構や制御部などは、図示するのを省略している。   FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing another embodiment of the magnetizing apparatus according to the present invention. The magnetizing device shown in FIG. 5A also includes a heating unit 10 having a cylindrical structure and an inner wall surface serving as a heating surface, and a magnetizing unit 12 having a cylindrical structure and an inner wall surface serving as a magnetization surface. Is a separate body and is disposed in the axial direction. In this example, the heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12 are arranged side by side, and the direction of the axis is horizontal. The heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12 are supported so that their positional relationship does not change. A cooling unit 16 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the magnetized unit 12. On the other hand, a rod-shaped holding member 22 that holds the magnetized object 20 is installed so as to be movable in the axial direction through the heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12. In this configuration, since the magnetized part 12 and the heating part 10 are arranged side by side, the magnetized part is not heated by natural convection or the like. Therefore, it is not always necessary to interpose a heat insulating member between the magnetized part 12 and the heating part 10. The object to be magnetized 20 heated by the heating unit 10 moves in the horizontal left-hand direction and is magnetized by the magnetizing unit 12. In addition, illustration of the horizontal drive mechanism and control unit of the object to be magnetized is omitted.

図5のBに示す着磁装置も、筒型構造をなし内壁面が加熱面となる加熱部10と、筒型構造をなし内壁面が着磁面となる着磁部12を具備し、それらが別体であって軸方向に配設されている。この例は、着磁部12が下方に位置し、加熱部10が上方に位置するように縦に配列され、軸の方向が垂直となる竪配置形式である。加熱部10と着磁部12とは、それらの位置関係が変わらないように支持されている。着磁部12の外周側には、冷却部16が設けられている。他方、被着磁物20を保持する棒状の保持部材22が、前記加熱部及び着磁部を貫通して軸方向に相対的に移動可能に設置される。この構成では、着磁部が加熱部の下方に位置しているので、自然対流などにより着磁部が加熱されることはない。そのため、この構成の場合も、必ずしも断熱部材を介在させる必要はなく、着磁部と加熱部とを接近して配置できるので、装置の小型化が可能となる。加熱部10で加熱された被着磁物20が降下して着磁部12で着磁される。   The magnetizing apparatus shown in FIG. 5B also includes a heating unit 10 having a cylindrical structure and an inner wall surface as a heating surface, and a magnetizing unit 12 having a cylindrical structure and an inner wall surface as a magnetization surface. Are separate and arranged in the axial direction. This example is a saddle arrangement type in which the magnetized portion 12 is positioned below and the heating portion 10 is positioned vertically so that the axis direction is vertical. The heating unit 10 and the magnetized unit 12 are supported so that their positional relationship does not change. A cooling unit 16 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the magnetized unit 12. On the other hand, a rod-like holding member 22 that holds the magnetized object 20 is installed so as to be movable in the axial direction through the heating part and the magnetized part. In this configuration, since the magnetized part is located below the heating part, the magnetized part is not heated by natural convection or the like. Therefore, also in this configuration, it is not always necessary to interpose a heat insulating member, and the magnetized part and the heating part can be arranged close to each other, so that the apparatus can be downsized. The object to be magnetized 20 heated by the heating unit 10 descends and is magnetized by the magnetizing unit 12.

被着磁物が超小型の場合には、熱容量が小さいため、加熱部から着磁部に移動するときに冷却が過度に進んでしまう恐れもある。そのような場合には、加熱部と着磁部の間で被着磁物の保持部材を取り囲むように、保温材を設けることが有効である。図1の断熱部材は、その際の保温材としての機能も兼ねている。   When the magnetized object is ultra-small, the heat capacity is small, and therefore cooling may proceed excessively when moving from the heating part to the magnetized part. In such a case, it is effective to provide a heat insulating material so as to surround the holding member for the object to be magnetized between the heating unit and the magnetizing unit. The heat insulating member in FIG. 1 also functions as a heat insulating material at that time.

なお、加熱には、実施例に示すような抵抗加熱の他、例えば高周波加熱、レーザ加熱、高温ガスフロー加熱、高温液中加熱など任意の手段を用いてよい。冷却は、自然放冷でもよいし、水冷、空冷などの強制放冷で行ってもよい。不活性雰囲気中での作業が必要な場合には、不活性ガスフローを行うこともできる。また、着磁部における着磁方式や具体的構造などについては、被着磁物である永久磁石の径寸法や材質、着磁極数などに応じて適宜変更してよい。   In addition to resistance heating as shown in the embodiments, any means such as high-frequency heating, laser heating, high-temperature gas flow heating, or high-temperature liquid heating may be used for heating. The cooling may be natural cooling or forced cooling such as water cooling or air cooling. If work in an inert atmosphere is required, an inert gas flow can also be performed. Further, the magnetizing method and the specific structure in the magnetized portion may be appropriately changed according to the diameter and material of the permanent magnet that is the magnetized object, the number of magnetized poles, and the like.

図6は本発明に係る着磁装置の更に他の実施例を示す縦断面図である。基本的な構成は図1に示す装置と同様であるので、対応する部材には同一符号を付し、それらのついての説明は省略する。この実施例では、着磁部本体の外側に、温度調節装置60を付設している。温度調節装置60による着磁部温度は、加熱部10の温度及び上下駆動機構24の動作など(被着磁物の位置や停止時間など)と共に制御部26で制御される。   FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing still another embodiment of the magnetizing apparatus according to the present invention. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the corresponding members are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted. In this embodiment, a temperature adjusting device 60 is attached outside the magnetized portion main body. The magnetized portion temperature by the temperature adjusting device 60 is controlled by the control unit 26 together with the temperature of the heating unit 10 and the operation of the vertical drive mechanism 24 (position of the magnetized object, stop time, etc.).

被着磁物として外径1.6mm、内径0.6mm、長さ3.8mmのリング状のNd系ボンド磁石を用い、それに対して図6に示す本発明装置により10極着磁を実施した。その際、界磁磁石として、Nd系焼結磁石(キュリー温度:320℃)を使用した。120℃で永久減磁(不可逆減磁)を生じるため、温度調節装置60により100℃を上限として温度設定し着磁を行った。加熱温度は380℃とし、加熱後すみやかに温度制御された着磁部に被着磁物を移動させて着磁を実施した。着磁特性評価結果を図7に示す。なお、被着磁物に対して着磁部は熱容量が大きいため、380℃に加熱された被着磁物が着磁空間に挿入されても、着磁用永久磁石の温度が大きく上昇することはない。   A ring-shaped Nd-based bonded magnet having an outer diameter of 1.6 mm, an inner diameter of 0.6 mm, and a length of 3.8 mm was used as an object to be magnetized, and 10-pole magnetization was performed on the object using the apparatus of the present invention shown in FIG. . At that time, an Nd-based sintered magnet (Curie temperature: 320 ° C.) was used as the field magnet. In order to cause permanent demagnetization (irreversible demagnetization) at 120 ° C., the temperature was set at 100 ° C. as the upper limit by the temperature adjusting device 60 and magnetized. The heating temperature was set to 380 ° C., and the magnetized material was moved to the magnetized portion whose temperature was controlled immediately after heating, and magnetized. FIG. 7 shows the result of evaluating the magnetization characteristics. Since the magnetized portion has a large heat capacity with respect to the object to be magnetized, the temperature of the permanent magnet for magnetization greatly increases even if the object to be magnetized heated to 380 ° C. is inserted into the magnetizing space. There is no.

図7から分かるように、0.5mmピッチと着磁特性が得られ難い寸法であるにもかかわらず、着磁特性として十分な100mT以上のBo(ave)が得られ、Boばらつきも抑えられた。なお、Boとは表面磁束密度(オープン)のことであり、Bo(ave)とはBoピーク値の全極の平均値のことである。また、Boばらつきとは、
Boばらつき={Bo(max)−Bo(min)}/Bo(ave)
で定義された値である。但し、
Bo(max):Boピーク値の全極中の最大値
Bo(min):Boピーク値の全極中の最小値
である。
As can be seen from FIG. 7, Bo (ave) of 100 mT or more sufficient as the magnetizing characteristic was obtained and the Bo variation was suppressed even though the 0.5 mm pitch and the dimension in which the magnetizing characteristic was difficult to obtain. . Note that Bo is the surface magnetic flux density (open), and Bo (ave) is the average value of all the Bo peak values. Bo variation is
Bo variation = {Bo (max) −Bo (min)} / Bo (ave)
It is a value defined in. However,
Bo (max): Maximum value of Bo peak value in all poles Bo (min): Minimum value of Bo peak value in all poles.

従って、Bo(ave)が大きいということは着磁特性(磁力特性)が高いことを示しており、またBoばらつきが小さいということは品質の良い着磁がなされていることを示している。図7の結果から、本発明装置による着磁の効果が有効であることが分かる。   Therefore, a large Bo (ave) indicates that the magnetization characteristic (magnetic force characteristic) is high, and a small Bo variation indicates that high quality magnetization is performed. From the result of FIG. 7, it can be seen that the effect of magnetization by the device of the present invention is effective.

次に、被着磁物として外径2.9mm、内径1.0mm、長さ3.0mmのリング状のNd系ボンド磁石(キュリー点:350℃)を用い、それに対して図6に示す本発明装置により10極着磁を実施した。その際、界磁磁石として、Sm−Co系焼結磁石を使用した。加熱温度は400℃,着磁部温度は80℃に設定し、加熱後すみやかに着磁部に被着磁物を移動させて着磁を実施し、所定時間着磁部で保持した後、着磁部から取り出した。   Next, a ring-shaped Nd-based bond magnet (Curie point: 350 ° C.) having an outer diameter of 2.9 mm, an inner diameter of 1.0 mm, and a length of 3.0 mm was used as the adherend, and the book shown in FIG. Ten-pole magnetization was performed by the inventive apparatus. At that time, an Sm—Co sintered magnet was used as the field magnet. The heating temperature is set to 400 ° C. and the magnetized part temperature is set to 80 ° C. After the heating, the magnetized object is immediately moved to the magnetized part and magnetized, and after being held in the magnetized part for a predetermined time, It was taken out from the magnetic part.

着磁部での保持時間に対応する着磁特性を図8に示す。図8より、被着磁物のキュリー点Tcを超えた加熱が行われているためBoばらつきが抑えられているうえ、着磁特性の微調整が可能であることが分かる。図8において、点線で囲んだ範囲が着磁特性の制御が可能な領域であることを示している。この実施例の場合、着磁部での被着磁物の保持時間を変えることによってBoピーク値から約8%減じた値までの範囲内でBoを適宜調整することが可能であった。   FIG. 8 shows the magnetization characteristics corresponding to the holding time in the magnetized portion. From FIG. 8, it can be seen that since the heating exceeding the Curie point Tc of the object to be magnetized is performed, the Bo variation is suppressed and the magnetization characteristics can be finely adjusted. In FIG. 8, the range surrounded by the dotted line indicates that the magnetization characteristic can be controlled. In the case of this example, it was possible to appropriately adjust Bo within a range from the Bo peak value to a value reduced by about 8% by changing the holding time of the magnetized object in the magnetized portion.

更に、着磁部に付設されている温度調節装置を利用すると、モータなど駆動機器に組み込まれる永久磁石の熱減磁の問題を解決できる。従来の室温における着磁では、モータ温度が上がると熱により減磁し特性が変化するため、予め熱減磁を行い特性変化が生じないようにしている。しかし、いずれの場合も減磁するためトルクの低下が生じる。本発明装置において、着磁部での温度調節装置を利用し、被着磁物を、そのキュリー点以上の温度からキュリー点未満のモータ保証温度以上まで降温させる。その間、被着磁物に着磁用磁界を印加し続けるが、モータ保証温度以上の温度で着磁磁界を取り去る。例えば、モータ保証温度が120℃とすると140℃程度まで着磁磁界を印加しつつ降温させ、着磁磁界を取り去って室温まで冷却する。このような着磁方法により、モータ保証温度の範囲内でモータ温度が上昇しても熱減磁は発生せず、高いトルクが得られる。   Furthermore, the use of a temperature control device attached to the magnetized portion can solve the problem of thermal demagnetization of a permanent magnet incorporated in a driving device such as a motor. In conventional magnetization at room temperature, when the motor temperature rises, demagnetization is caused by heat and the characteristics change. Therefore, thermal demagnetization is performed in advance so that the characteristics do not change. However, in any case, demagnetization causes a reduction in torque. In the apparatus of the present invention, the temperature adjusting device in the magnetized portion is used to lower the temperature of the magnetized object from the temperature above its Curie point to the motor guaranteed temperature below the Curie point. Meanwhile, the magnetic field for magnetization is continuously applied to the object to be magnetized, but the magnetic field is removed at a temperature equal to or higher than the motor guarantee temperature. For example, when the guaranteed motor temperature is 120 ° C., the temperature is lowered while applying a magnetizing magnetic field to about 140 ° C., and the magnetizing magnetic field is removed to cool to room temperature. By such a magnetizing method, even if the motor temperature rises within the range of the guaranteed motor temperature, thermal demagnetization does not occur and high torque can be obtained.
