Description

The present invention, shaft type linear motor movable element, the permanent magnet used for the movable element, in which relates to a linear motor attached to the movable element.

In the conventional shaft type linear motor, the permanent magnet side is a stator and the coil side is a mover, and the power line of the mover is dragged, causing a disconnection trouble. Therefore, a shaft type linear motor having a stator on the coil side and a mover on the permanent magnet side has been developed.
As a linear motor having a permanent magnet side as a mover, a shaft, a cylindrical permanent magnet magnetized in the axial direction, and a columnar soft magnetic material are alternately arranged, and the shaft, permanent magnet and There has been a structure for fixing a soft magnetic material (for example, Patent Document 1 below).
In this configuration, it is difficult to magnetize the permanent magnet after assembling the mover, and it is necessary to assemble the mover using a magnetized permanent magnet. In that case, in addition to the repulsion and attraction between the permanent magnets and the soft magnetic material, it is necessary to manage the magnetization direction of the permanent magnets, resulting in poor assembly workability and reduced productivity. Further, since a plurality of cylindrical permanent magnets and cylindrical soft magnetic materials are used, the coaxiality and straightness of the mover are likely to deteriorate, and the assembly accuracy is reduced.

  In the conventional patent document 2, the assembly accuracy is improved by using a ring-shaped permanent magnet magnetized in the radial direction and a ring yoke for fixing the permanent magnet. Further, by magnetizing the permanent magnet in a state where the permanent magnet is fixed to the ring yoke before the assembly of the mover, the repulsion between the permanent magnets during assembly of the mover is reduced and the workability is improved.

  Moreover, in the conventional patent document 3, four types of cylindrical magnets (a magnet magnetized radially outward, a magnet magnetized in the first axial direction, a magnet magnetized radially inward, The actuator is made by penetrating the armature in which the first unit and the second unit are alternately arranged through the armature in which the biaxially magnetized magnets) are alternately bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical inner yoke. Is shown to improve the assembly accuracy of the mover. Further, the thrust of the mover is improved by alternately arranging the ring-shaped permanent magnets magnetized in the radial direction and the ring-shaped permanent magnets magnetized in the axial direction.

  In Patent Document 2 described above, in order to further improve the productivity, when a permanent magnet is to be magnetized after assembly of the mover, permanent magnets having different polarities adjacent to each other are adjacent to each other. Is difficult. Furthermore, since the ring yoke is required for the magnetic poles of the mover, the number of parts increases.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a shaft type linear motor movable element according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, a shaft type linear motor movable element (hereinafter referred to as a movable element) 10 has a shaft 1 and a ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a.
The shaft 1 is a soft magnetic material and is made of, for example, iron. In FIG. 1, the shaft 1 has a round bar shape, but may have a cylindrical shape. When the shaft 1 has a cylindrical shape, the mass of the shaft is reduced if the diameter is the same as compared with the case of a round bar shape, thereby improving the response of the mover.
The ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a is, for example, a neodymium sintered magnet, but a neodymium bonded magnet, a samlium-based sintered magnet or bonded magnet, a ferrite-based sintered magnet or bonded magnet may be used.

  FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the orientation direction of the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a of FIG. The orientation direction of the permanent magnet 2a is indicated by the double arrow direction shown in FIG. Here, for comparison, FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of a ring-shaped permanent magnet oriented in the radial direction, and FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the ring-shaped permanent magnet oriented in the axial direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the ring-shaped permanent magnets are oriented in the radial direction, in the cross-sectional view of the plane including the rotation axis, the orientation direction is as indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG. Parallel to the radial direction. When this permanent magnet is magnetized by generating a magnetizing magnetic field (the white arrow is the direction of the magnetizing magnetic field) in the direction shown in FIG. 5, the magnetizing direction and polarity of the permanent magnet are as shown in FIG. The magnetizing magnetic field does not contribute to the magnetization of the permanent magnet except for the component in the same direction as the orientation direction of the permanent magnet having the orientation direction (having anisotropy). When the structure of this permanent magnet is regarded as a continuous assembly of particle-sized permanent magnets and the structure image of the arrow portion indicating the magnetization direction is shown, it is directed uniformly in the radial direction as in the balloon in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the ring-shaped permanent magnets are oriented in the axial direction, in the cross section by the plane including the rotation axis, the orientation direction is oriented as shown by the double-headed arrow in FIG. The direction is parallel to the axial direction. When this permanent magnet is magnetized by generating a magnetizing magnetic field (the white arrow is the direction of the magnetizing magnetic field) in the direction shown in FIG. 7, the magnetizing direction and polarity of the permanent magnet are as shown in FIG. When the structure of this permanent magnet is regarded as a continuous assembly of particle-size permanent magnets, and the structural image of the arrow portion indicating the magnetization direction is shown, it is oriented uniformly in the axial direction as in the balloon in FIG.

The orientation direction of the permanent magnet 2a of the present embodiment is extremely anisotropic (arc-shaped) with respect to the axial direction, unlike the orientation direction as described above. The orientation direction in the vicinity of region α in FIG. 2 faces the radial direction of the mover, and the orientation direction in the vicinity of region β in FIG. 2 faces the axial direction of the mover. The alignment direction in the vicinity of the region γ in FIG. 2 is a direction between the radial direction and the axial direction of the mover, and the alignment directions of the region α to the region γ to the region β are all continuous.
The magnetic poles necessary for the linear motor mover are oriented in the anisotropic direction in advance, and FIG. 2 shows the case of three magnetic poles. However, the number of magnetic poles is not limited to this. . When this permanent magnet is magnetized in the direction shown in FIG. 9, the magnetization direction and polarity of the permanent magnet are as shown in FIG. When the structure of this permanent magnet is regarded as a continuous assembly of permanent magnets of particle size, and the structural image of the arrow portion indicating the magnetization direction is shown, the direction of the particles gradually changes as shown in the balloon in FIG. Forming.

Next, forming in a magnetic field in the manufacturing process of the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described. The permanent magnet material here uses, for example, a fine powder of a neodymium magnet alloy containing Nd, Fe, B, and Dy as a raw material.
An apparatus for molding the ring-shaped sintered magnet of the present embodiment has a configuration as shown in FIG. The apparatus shown in FIG. 11 applies a magnetic field to the mold 20 for supplying and filling the magnetic alloy fine powder 11 and the magnet alloy fine powder 11 filled in the mold 20 to change the orientation direction of the permanent magnet. Magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12 for forming, and in a state where a magnetic field is generated by magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12, pressurizing and compacting neodymium alloy fine powder 11 filled in mold 20 A press (not shown) is provided.
The mold 20 includes an upper punch 13, a lower punch 14, a columnar core 15, and a cylindrical die 16, all of which are nonmagnetic. A space surrounded by the upper punch 13, the lower punch 14, the core 15, and the die 16 is defined as a cavity 17.

A manufacturing process of the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the apparatus of FIG.
First, the magnetic alloy fine powder 11 is supplied to the mold 20, and the cavity 17 of the mold 20 is filled with the magnetic alloy fine powder 11.
The magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12 is a ring-shaped coil, and is arranged so as to be coaxial with the ring-shaped molded body. The number of magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12 differs depending on the number of magnetic poles required. For example, if the number of magnetic poles is three, four magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12 are arranged.
Adjacent magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12 are formed so that the directions of current flow are opposite to each other, and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the adjacent magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12 when the current flows is opposite. become. In addition, all the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12 are connected in series, and the current value flowing through the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12 is made uniform, and the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12 when the current is supplied. The size is kept from varying between the coils.
When the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12 is arranged as shown in FIG. 11, when a current is passed through the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12 with the current direction and the coil connected in series as described above, the magnetic field as shown in FIG. Occur. The particles of the fine powder 11 of the magnet alloy move and align in the same direction as the direction of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12 so that the respective easy magnetization directions are aligned.
The magnetic alloy fine powder 11 filled in the cavity 17 is pressed by the upper punch 13 and the lower punch 14 using a press (not shown) in a state where a magnetic field is applied by the magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12. Compression molding is performed to form a ring-shaped molded body.
The ring-shaped molded body after compression molding is conveyed into a vacuum sintering furnace and sintered and heat-treated at a predetermined temperature. Thereafter, finishing is performed as necessary to obtain a ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a that is oriented anisotropically in the axial direction.

Next, a method for assembling the shaft type linear motor movable element in the first embodiment will be described.
The ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a is fixed to the shaft 1 with a fixing member such as an adhesive. The ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a may be fixed to the shaft 1 by providing a stepped shape on the shaft 1 and fixing the permanent magnet 2a to the stepped shape portion.
FIG. 13 is a sectional view of the shaft type linear motor movable element according to the first embodiment of the present invention. For example, the number of magnetic poles of the permanent magnet 2a in FIG. 13 is 10, and the orientation direction of the permanent magnet 2a at that time is as shown by the arrow in FIG. Note that the number of magnetic poles of the permanent magnet is not limited to this.
With the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a fixed to the shaft 1 with a fixing member such as an adhesive, the magnetizing magnetic field generating coil 21 is arranged as shown in FIG. The adjacent magnetized magnetic field generating coils 21 are energized so that the directions of the currents are different from each other. Therefore, the magnetizing magnetic field generated by the magnetizing field generating coil 21 substantially coincides with the orientation direction of the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a as shown in FIG. 15, so that the permanent magnet can be easily magnetized after the mover is assembled. It becomes. The magnetization direction of the permanent magnet 2a after magnetization is the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG.

In the conventional shaft type linear motor movable element, since it is difficult to magnetize the permanent magnet after the movable element is assembled, it is necessary to assemble the permanent magnet before the movable element is assembled. For example, in the case of a mover assembled with a ring-shaped permanent magnet oriented in the radial direction, when magnetized after assembly of the mover, the direction of the magnetization magnetic field is greatly different from the orientation direction as shown in FIG. Therefore, there is a region δ that can hardly be magnetized.
On the other hand, when assembling the mover after magnetizing the permanent magnet before assembling the mover, as described above, workability by repulsion and attraction between the permanent magnets and soft magnetic material during assembly of the mover As a result, it was necessary to manage the magnetization direction of the permanent magnets, and productivity was reduced.

In the present embodiment, permanent magnets can be magnetized after assembly of the mover, so there is no risk of repulsion or attraction between the permanent magnets or soft magnetic materials during assembly of the mover, and the permanent magnets can be magnetized. Since direction management is not required, productivity is improved.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the permanent magnet 2a has a single permanent magnet even when the mover has a plurality of magnetic poles by having the number of required magnetic poles oriented anisotropically in the axial direction. Therefore, the number of parts can be reduced, and the cost can be reduced and the productivity can be improved.

When the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a has a long axis, as shown in FIG. 18, the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2b whose axial length is shorter than that of the permanent magnet 2a and is oriented anisotropically with respect to the axial direction is made permanent. It may be replaced by arranging a plurality of magnets corresponding to the axial length of the magnet 2a.
Further, as shown in FIG. 19, a ring-shaped permanent magnet 2 c may be used in which the orientation direction of the region δ that is both ends of the axial direction of the permanent magnet that is poled anisotropically with respect to the axial direction faces the axial direction.

FIG. 20 is a graph comparing how much the thrust differs in the case of using the mover of the first embodiment and the reference technique. As reference technique 1, a mover using only a ring-shaped permanent magnet oriented and magnetized in the radial direction, as reference technique 2, a ring-shaped permanent magnet oriented and magnetized in the radial direction, and an axial direction A mover in which ring-shaped permanent magnets that were oriented and magnetized alternately were provided for comparison. In Embodiment 1 and Reference Techniques 1 and 2, the dimensions of the mover, the material of the permanent magnet, and the number of magnetic poles are the same.
In the first embodiment, since the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet increases, as shown in FIG. 20, a ring-shaped permanent magnet oriented and magnetized in the radial direction and a ring oriented and magnetized in the axial direction It turns out that the thrust more than the needle | mover which arranged the shape permanent magnet alternately is obtained.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the present embodiment, in a ring-shaped permanent magnet, the polarity distribution after magnetization is a skew distribution.

FIG. 21 shows the polarity distribution on the surface of the permanent magnet in which the polarity distribution after magnetization is skew distribution. A dotted line in FIG. 21 is a boundary line of the polarity of the permanent magnet, and is inclined obliquely in the circumferential direction. When the polarity distribution is not skew distribution as in the first embodiment, the polarity distribution on the surface of the permanent magnet after magnetization is as shown in FIG. FIG. 23 shows a graph in which the average value in the circumferential direction of the surface magnetic flux amount of the permanent magnet shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 is plotted in the axial direction (from 0 to L). In FIG. 23, the value of the N pole is positive. By providing the skew distribution in the permanent magnet, the gradient of the change in the circumferential direction average value of the surface magnetic flux amount of the permanent magnet with respect to the axial direction is reduced, and the cogging torque can be reduced.
The orientation direction of the permanent magnet of the present embodiment is oriented extremely anisotropic with respect to the axial direction, but a skew distribution is provided in the circumferential direction. 24 is a cross-sectional view of the permanent magnet shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 21, in the case where the skew distribution is provided, the orientation state of the permanent magnet is different between the AA cross section and the BB cross section of FIG. In the case where no skew distribution is provided, the orientation state of the permanent magnets is the same in the AA section and the BB section as shown in FIG. 2 described in the first embodiment.

Next, forming in a magnetic field in the manufacturing process of the permanent magnet 2d according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The permanent magnet material is made of a fine powder of a neodymium magnet alloy containing, for example, Nd, Fe, B, and Dy, as in the first embodiment.
The apparatus for molding the ring-shaped sintered magnet of the present embodiment has a configuration as shown in FIG. The apparatus of FIG. 25 applies a magnetic field to the mold 20 for supplying and filling the magnetic alloy fine powder 11 and the magnet alloy fine powder 11 filled in the mold 20 to change the orientation direction of the permanent magnet. Magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12a to be formed, and magnetic alloy fine powder 11 filled in the mold 20 is pressed and compression molded in a state where a magnetic field is generated by the magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12a. A press (not shown) is provided.
The mold 20 includes an upper punch 13, a lower punch 14, a columnar core 15, and a cylindrical die 16, all of which are nonmagnetic. A space surrounded by the upper punch 13, the lower punch 14, the core 15, and the die 16 is defined as a cavity 17.

A manufacturing process of the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2d according to the second embodiment will be described.
First, the magnetic alloy fine powder 11 is supplied to the mold 20, and the cavity 17 of the mold 20 is filled with the magnetic alloy fine powder 11.
The magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12a is a ring-shaped coil, and is arranged in a state where a constant angle θ is maintained with respect to a horizontal plane (a plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the ring-shaped permanent magnet). The magnitude of the angle θ differs depending on the angle of the required skew distribution of the permanent magnet. The number of magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12a differs depending on the number of magnetic poles required. For example, if the number of magnetic poles is three, four magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12a are arranged.
Adjacent magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12a are formed so that the directions of current flow are opposite to each other, and the direction of the magnetic field generated by the adjacent magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12a when the current flows is opposite. become. In addition, all the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coils 12a are connected in series, and the current value flowing through the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12a is made uniform, and the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12a when the current is supplied. The size is kept from varying between the coils.
When the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12 is arranged as shown in FIG. 25 and a current is passed through the magnetic field shaping electromagnetic coil 12a with the current direction and the coil connected in series as described above, the magnetic field as shown in FIG. Occur. The particles of the fine powder 11 of the magnet alloy move and align in the same direction as the direction of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12a so that the respective easy magnetization directions are aligned.
In a state where a magnetic field is applied by the magnetic field forming electromagnetic coil 12a, the upper punch 13 and the lower punch 14 are pressed against the fine powder 11 of the magnetic alloy filled in the cavity 17 using a press (not shown). Compression molding is performed to form a ring-shaped molded body.
The ring-shaped molded body after compression molding is conveyed into a vacuum sintering furnace and sintered and heat-treated at a predetermined temperature. Thereafter, finishing is performed as necessary to obtain a ring-shaped permanent magnet 2d which is oriented anisotropically with respect to the axial direction and is skewed in the circumferential direction.

FIG. 27 is a sectional view of the shaft type linear motor movable element according to the second embodiment of the present invention.
The method of assembling the mover is almost the same as in the first embodiment, but the magnetized magnetic field generating coil 21d is shown in a state where the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2d is fixed to the shaft 1 by a fixing member such as an adhesive. Arrange as shown in FIG. The adjacent magnetizing magnetic field generating coils 21d are energized so that the directions of the currents are different from each other, so that the magnetizing magnetic field generated in the magnetizing magnetic field generating coil 21d is a ring shape as shown in FIG. Since it substantially coincides with the orientation direction of the permanent magnet 2d, the permanent magnet can be easily magnetized after the assembly of the mover. The magnetization direction of the permanent magnet after magnetization is the direction of the arrow shown in FIG.

  In this embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment is obtained, and the gradient of the change in the circumferential average value of the surface magnetic flux amount of the permanent magnet with respect to the axial direction is obtained by making the polarity distribution of the permanent magnet a skew distribution. The cogging torque can be reduced.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first embodiment, an anisotropic permanent magnet having an orientation direction (the easy axis of magnetization of crystal grains in the magnet is aligned in a specific direction) is used as the ring-shaped permanent magnet, but it does not have an orientation direction. An isotropic permanent magnet may be used (the easy magnetization axes of crystal grains in the magnet are not aligned in a specific direction). In that case, the polarity distribution after magnetization may be a skew distribution as in the second embodiment.

The method for assembling the mover is the same as in the first embodiment, and a ring-shaped isotropic permanent magnet is fixed to the shaft. Then, by magnetizing the permanent magnet after the assembly of the mover by the magnetizing magnetic field generating coils 21 and 21a used in the first or second embodiment, the same as in the first or second embodiment. The magnetization direction can be obtained.
When magnetizing a permanent magnet after assembly of the mover, the isotropic permanent magnet is magnetized following the direction of the generated magnetic field, so it is easy to magnetize the permanent magnet after assembly of the mover And improve productivity.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
31 is a perspective view showing a shaft type linear motor mover according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 32 is a sectional view showing the orientation direction of the permanent magnet of the linear motor mover, and FIG. 33 is a permanent magnet of the linear motor mover. It is sectional drawing which shows the magnetization direction.
The shaft type linear motor movable element 10 of the present embodiment has a shaft 1, a ring-shaped permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction, and a ring-shaped permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction.
The shaft 1 is a soft magnetic material as in the first embodiment, and is made of, for example, iron. The shaft 1 has a round bar shape, but may have a cylindrical shape. In the case where the shaft 1 has a cylindrical shape, if the diameter of the mover is the same, the mass of the mover becomes light, and the responsiveness is improved.
The ring-shaped permanent magnet 2a is, for example, a neodymium sintered magnet, but a neodymium bonded magnet, a samlium-based sintered magnet or bonded magnet, or a ferrite-based sintered magnet or bonded magnet may be used.
As shown in FIG. 32, ring-shaped permanent magnets 2e oriented in the axial direction are installed at both ends, and then ring-shaped permanent magnets 2f oriented in the radial direction and ring-shaped permanent magnets oriented in the axial direction. Magnets 2c are alternately arranged. The axial thickness of the permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction is La, and the axial thickness of the permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction is Lb. Further, the magnetization direction of each permanent magnet is as shown by the arrow shown in FIG.

Next, a method for assembling the shaft type linear motor movable element according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The ring-shaped permanent magnet 2e oriented in the radial direction and the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction are necessary so that the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction is located at both ends. It arrange | positions by the number of magnetic poles, and it fixes to the shaft 1 with fixing members, such as an adhesive agent. The number of magnetic poles is 10, for example, and the orientation direction of the permanent magnet at that time is as shown in FIG. Note that the number of magnetic poles is not limited to this.
Further, the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction and the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction may be fixed to the shaft 1 by providing the shaft 1 with a stepped shape. Good.
The magnetized magnetic field generating coil 21 is illustrated with the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction and the ring-shaped permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction fixed to the shaft 1 by a fixing member such as an adhesive. Arrange as shown in FIG. When the adjacent magnetizing magnetic field generating coils 21 are energized so that the directions of the currents are different from each other, the direction of the magnetizing magnetic field generated in the magnetizing magnetic field generating coil 21 is a ring as shown in FIG. Since the orientation directions of the permanent magnets 2e and 2f are close to each other, the permanent magnet can be easily magnetized after the mover is assembled. The magnetization direction of the permanent magnet after magnetization is the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG.

FIG. 35 is a graph comparing the thrust of the mover when the permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction is installed at both ends and when the permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction is installed at both ends. The vertical axis of the graph represents the ratio of the thrust when the permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction is installed at both ends as a reference (100%). When the permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction is installed at both ends, the thrust of the mover can be improved by about 10% compared to the case where the permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction is installed at both ends. Recognize.
Further, the axial thickness Lb of the permanent magnet 2f oriented in the radial direction is larger than the axial thickness La of the permanent magnet 2e oriented in the axial direction.
FIG. 36 shows a relationship between the ratio of the axial thickness La of the axially oriented permanent magnet 2e to the axial thickness Lb of the radially oriented permanent magnet 2f and the thrust of the mover. When the ratio of La to Lb is 0, only the permanent magnets oriented in the radial direction are arranged in the same manner as in Reference Technique 1 described in the first embodiment, and the vertical axis indicates the movable state at this time. The child's thrust is the standard (100%).
When the ratio of La to Lb is 0 and when it is other than 0, the thrust of the mover is improved. By alternately arranging the permanent magnets 2e oriented in the axial direction and the permanent magnets 2f oriented in the radial direction, the thrust of the mover is improved as compared with the case where only the permanent magnets oriented in the radial direction are arranged. I understand that. Furthermore, by setting the ratio of La to Lb to be 0.20 to 0.40, preferably 0.25 to 0.35, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet is increased and the thrust of the mover is improved.

  Comparison of the thrust of the mover in the reference technique 1 and the reference technique 2 described in the first embodiment and the first embodiment is as shown in the graph of FIG. 37, and the fourth embodiment is more movable than the reference technique. It can be seen that the thrust of the child is improved. Moreover, it turns out that the case of Embodiment 1 improves the thrust of a needle | mover more.

  It should be noted that the present invention can be freely combined with each other within the scope of the invention, and each embodiment can be appropriately modified or omitted.
