Description

  The present invention relates to a rotating mechanism for a driven shaft for quickly and powerfully rotating a fixed shaft so that a driven shaft can be used for switching output of a switch or the like by interposing a tension coil spring between a main driving lever and a driven lever.

  Conventionally, in this type of mechanism, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a long main driving lever 52 is pivotally supported on a plate 50 so as to swing downward, and a relatively short double-wing type is provided below the upper end shaft 55. In order to use the intermediate driven shaft 56 as an output for opening and closing the switch of the device, the driven lever 54 is interposed between the upper end of the driven lever 54 and the lower end of the main driving lever 52. The coil spring 57 is interposed to release the high energy storage force of the spring at the time when the dead point is removed, so that the driven shaft 56 is stably rotated.

  According to this, stoppers 58 and 58 for restricting the swing range are provided on both sides of the driven lever 54, so that a dead point occurs in the driven lever 54 during the swing of the main drive lever 52, and then the driven lever 54 is reversed. In addition, a roller 60 is provided at the lower end of the driven lever 54, and a latching plate 62 is provided at the lower end of the main drive lever 52 that pulls the roller 60 toward the stopper 58 and then releases it. FIG. 5 (a) shows the state in which the main driving lever 52 and the driven lever 54 are in the initial positions, and FIG. 5 (b) shows that the roller 60 is placed on the latching plate 62 of the main driving lever 52 that is started to swing. Figure (c) shows the state of being caught at the dead point, and (d) the figure shows the state where the hook has been released. (E) Figure Shows a state in which the driven lever 54 is reversed by the stored force of the coil spring 57 by this release, and the driven shaft 56 performs work as an output to rotate.

  However, according to the conventional driven shaft rotating mechanism as described above, the latching plate 62 at the lower end of the main driving lever 52 and the roller 60 at the lower end of the driven lever 54 are both taken as means for being caught or released. The difference in the trajectory is utilized, but this requires fine adjustment of the size, shape and the like of the latching plate 62 roller 60, which is not suitable for mass production and has a problem of high cost.

  In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a powerful and quick drive shaft at a predetermined angle when there is a swing of the main drive lever without using a latching plate and a roller that are in a delicate relationship. The problem is to make it rotate.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a long main driving lever that is pivotally supported at the upper end for swinging downward, and a medium-sized lever that is positioned in the swing range of the main driving lever and is pivotally supported at the lower end for swinging upward. A driven lever, a short cam lever located in the swing range of the driven lever behind the driven lever and pivotally supported at the lower end, and a tension coil spring connected to the lower end latching pin of the main drive lever and the upper end latching pin of the driven lever And a pair of left and right stoppers that regulate the swing range of the driven lever. A cam arm is provided with a drive arm with a track roller that can turn around the driven shaft of the driven lever on the back of the upper end of the driven lever. the upper end is provided with a degree wide cam hole orbital rollers reciprocates, the cam holes, both corners of the start and end points of the trajectory the roller stop by the reciprocating are provided respectively, the start and end The distance between the corner from the primary driven shaft of the driven lever so driven lever falls down at the same time as the cam lever by track rollers travels until locking pin is greater than the distance from the secondary driven shaft of the cam lever to orbital roller to provide a rotating mechanism of the driven shaft, characterized in that to are.

  Since the rotation mechanism of the driven shaft is configured as described above, if the main drive lever moves once from the initial position, the coil spring is pulled by the accumulated force when the dead point is passed. The driven lever lifts from the stopper and reverses, and the integral track roller reaches the opposite slope along the running in the cam hole and falls to the other start and end corner while pushing this slope, and is driven through this connection The lever is quickly and powerfully tumbled to the stopper on the opposite side in accordance with the combined function of the short cam lever.

  As described above, according to the present invention, there is no technical problem such as the presence or absence of catching between the latching plate and the roller, and the stored force of the coil spring that has passed the dead point in the rotation of the driven shaft is effective. Since the driven shaft rotates quickly and strongly when the driven lever cooperates with a short cam lever, there is an excellent effect that the output can be surely synchronized with other devices.

It is a perspective view which cuts out the outline of the rotation mechanism of the driven shaft of this invention, and partially shows it. It is explanatory drawing seen from the front which expands and shows one operation | movement time about the rotation mechanism of the driven shaft of this invention. It is explanatory drawing seen from the front which shows a series of operation | movement about the rotation mechanism of the driven shaft of this invention in order as (a), (b), (c), (d) figure. It is explanatory drawing of a prior art example. It is the front view shown in order as (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) figure about the rotation mechanism of the driven shaft of the conventional example.

  The present invention assumes that the driven shaft of the cam lever is used for output, but does not exclude the case where the driven shaft as the center of reversal of the driven lever is used for output.

Further, a dead point is a position at which the coil spring is a so-called dead point per slave moving lever, the driven shaft of the coil spring is driven lever 5 stretched between the tip of the tip and the driven lever of the main drive lever 17 A point in time on the position (position in FIG. 3B) is shown.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 (A), (B), (C), and (D). The rotating mechanism of the driven shaft 17 is such that a long main driving lever 3 and a medium driving lever 5 are pivotally supported on the main plate 1 while being vertically separated, and the main driving lever 3 swings downward. 5 is set to swing upward, and the coil spring 7 is latched between the leading ends of the main driving lever 3 and the driven lever 5 so that the main driving lever 3 swings the driven lever 5 in the swing range W.

  The main / slave driven levers 3 and 5 are provided with latching pins 21 (driven pins) and 22 (driven pins) on which the coil springs 7 are hooked at the respective swing tip portions. Reference numeral 15 denotes a swinging central axis of the main driving lever 3, and 17 denotes a primary driven shaft that rotates integrally with the driven lever 5.

  Behind the base plate 1 is a cam lever 11 that follows the driven lever 5. A drive arm 9 that moves in a circular arc around the primary driven shaft 17 is provided at the front end of the driven lever 5 so as to protrude from the back side, and a track roller 10 is attached to the front end of the drive arm 9. For this purpose, the base plate 1 is provided with a window hole 12 through which the drive arm 9 can be removed.

  Behind the base plate 1, there is a short cam lever 11 with which the track roller 10 engages, and a secondary driven shaft 19 that rotates integrally with the base end portion is provided, which is supported by a support (not shown). The cam lever 11 is pivotally supported by the secondary driven shaft 19 so as to swing upward. The cam lever 11 is provided with a cam hole 14 with which the track roller 10 has a margin.

  The cam hole 14 has a substantially quadrangular shape along each side of the rectangular cam lever 11, and the upper left and right ends thereof are formed in a semicircular arc shape with the start and end corners 18, 18 associated with the track roller 10. The swing range W of the main drive lever 3 is restricted by the crank mechanism, and the swing range of the driven lever 5 is restricted by the left and right stoppers 25 and 25, respectively. Further, the input shaft 23 is provided as a shaft of the crank 26 at one end portion of the main plate 1, and a linkage 24 is interposed between the crank 26 and the main driving lever 3, so that the input shaft 23 is rotated once. The main drive lever 3 reciprocates.

  If the distance from the primary driven shaft 17 of the driven lever 5 to the latch pin 21 is La, and the distance from the secondary driven shaft 19 of the cam lever 11 to the track roller 10 is Lb, then La> Lb. Therefore, the cam lever 11 has a function of rotating more quickly and firmly at a certain angle than the driven lever 5. Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 3 (A, B, C, and 2), when the main drive lever 3 is at the starting position of the right swing (A), the track roller 10 is connected to the cam hole 14 due to the pulling of the coil spring 7. If the main drive lever 3 swings to the left (the arrow in FIG. 1B), the driven lever 5 is pulled in that direction by the coil spring 7, but the primary lever is on the coil spring 7. It remains stationary until it passes a dead point where the driven shaft 17 is located (see the bold line in FIG. 2B). It should be noted that the stored force of the coil spring 7 is maximized at the position of the dead point indicated by the bold line.

  When the swing of the main drive lever 3 advances and the coil spring 7 exceeds the dead point (primary driven shaft 17) (refer to the thick line in FIG. 6), the stored spring tension of the coil spring 7 is released, so that the driven lever 5 The first driven shaft 17 is turned around (arrow Pa in the figure), and the track roller 10 integrated with the first driven shaft 17 reaches the opposite corner 18 side of the cam hole 14 and pushes the inclined surface thereof, so that the cam lever 11 also falls (Pb). .

  At this time, the rotational force of the driven lever 5 is determined by the relative angle θ between the straight line connecting 21 and 22, the straight line connecting 17 and 21, and the coil spring force. The swing of the main drive lever 3 advances and the coil spring 7 becomes a dead point at the point of the primary driven shaft 17 (b), but at this time θ = 0 °, the rotational force of the driven lever 5 becomes zero. When the swing of the main drive lever 3 further proceeds, θ> 0 ° and a rotational force is applied to the driven lever 5, so that the rotation of the driven lever 5 starts. When the driven lever 5 rotates, θ increases and the rotational force of the driven lever 5 increases. When the track roller 10 integrated with the driven lever 5 is in contact with the opposite corner of the cam hole 14, θ is equal to or greater than a certain value, and the rotation of the cam lever 11 is started while the rotational force of the driven lever 5 is stable. be able to.

  Since the track roller 10 turns to the opposite end point corner 18 (see FIG. 2), when the coil spring 7 passes the position of the secondary driven shaft 19, the distance La> the distance Lb as described above. The force of the coil spring 7 acts relatively strongly on the cam lever 11 via the track roller 10. Therefore, the cam lever 11 acts so as to pull the driven lever 5 so as to promote the fall.

  In other words, the follower lever 5 falls faster and more powerfully than when it is pulled down by the coil spring 7 by itself in cooperation with the cam lever 11 which is short and short. Incidentally, since the driven lever 5 is relatively long, if it is close to the dead point, it will cause a delay in starting to fall. However, this is compensated by the cam lever 11, and a quick and powerful overturning operation is started. Therefore, if both the first driven shaft 17 and the second driven shaft 19 are used as output shafts, for example, switching of the switch is performed quickly and accurately.
