カバーフィルム２９２がねじ２９３によって固定されている。第２基板２２の中央には穴２２１が形成されており、第２基板２２の軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に向く第１面２２ａには、穴２２１の周りに光通信用の第２光学素子２４１が設けられている。また、第２基板２２の外縁には、軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に受光面を向けて回転検出用の発光素子２４３が設けられている。また、第２基板２２の軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２に向く第２面２２ｂには、コネクタ２４９が実装されている。このため、カバーフィルム２９２には、コネクタ２４９と重なる位置に開口部２９２ａが形成されており、中央には穴２９２ｂが形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the second substrate 22 and the cover film 292 are fixed to the other side L <b> 2 of the second holder 20 in the axis L direction by screws 293. A hole 221 is formed at the center of the second substrate 22, and a second optical element for optical communication around the hole 221 is formed on the first surface 22 a facing the one side L 1 in the axis L direction of the second substrate 22. 241 is provided. In addition, a light-emitting element 243 for rotation detection is provided on the outer edge of the second substrate 22 with the light-receiving surface facing one side L1 in the axis L direction. A connector 249 is mounted on the second surface 22b facing the other side L2 of the second substrate 22 in the axis L direction. For this reason, an opening 292a is formed in the cover film 292 so as to overlap with the connector 249, and a hole 292b is formed in the center.

本形態において、第２光学素子２４１は、周方向で離間する位置に配置された３つの発光素子２４１ａと１つの受光素子２４１ｂとからなる。ここで、発光素子２４１ａは、発光面を軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に発光面を向けて第２基板２２の第１面２２ａに実装されている。これに対して、受光素子２４１ｂは、第２基板２２の第２面２２ｂに実装されているが、受光素子２４１ｂの受光面は、第２基板２２に形成された穴を介して軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に露出している。   In the present embodiment, the second optical element 241 includes three light emitting elements 241a and one light receiving element 241b arranged at positions spaced apart in the circumferential direction. Here, the light emitting element 241a is mounted on the first surface 22a of the second substrate 22 with the light emitting surface facing the one side L1 in the axis L direction. On the other hand, the light receiving element 241 b is mounted on the second surface 22 b of the second substrate 22, but the light receiving surface of the light receiving element 241 b extends in the axis L direction through a hole formed in the second substrate 22. It is exposed on one side L1.

図６および図７に示すように、第２ホルダ２０の軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１には、第２コア２５、第２コイル２３、および非磁性の円環状のカバー２９１が重ねて配置されている。第２ホルダ２０は、円形形状の底板部２０１と、底板部２０１の外周縁から軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に屈曲した円筒状の側板部２０２とを有している。また、底板部２０１の中央には第２円筒部２０３が形成されており、第２円筒部２０３の内側には、円形の第２貫通穴２０４が形成された筒状胴部２０９が形成されている。第２貫通穴２０４は、第２ホルダ２０を軸線Ｌ方向で貫通しており、軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２の端部は角穴（図１（ａ）参照）になっている。このため、貫通穴２０４を利用して回転軸を連結することができる。筒状胴部２０９は、底板部２０１から軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２に向けて突出し、第２基板２２の穴２２１に嵌っている。側板部２０２の外面には、可動ユニット７を取り付けるための連結部２０２ｃが形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the second core 25, the second coil 23, and the non-magnetic annular cover 291 are arranged on one side L <b> 1 of the second holder 20 in the axis L direction. Yes. The second holder 20 has a circular bottom plate portion 201 and a cylindrical side plate portion 202 bent from the outer peripheral edge of the bottom plate portion 201 to one side L1 in the axis L direction. In addition, a second cylindrical portion 203 is formed at the center of the bottom plate portion 201, and a cylindrical body portion 209 having a circular second through hole 204 is formed inside the second cylindrical portion 203. Yes. The 2nd penetration hole 204 has penetrated the 2nd holder 20 in the direction of an axis L, and the end of the other side L2 of the direction of an axis L is a square hole (refer to Drawing 1 (a)). For this reason, a rotating shaft can be connected using the through hole 204. The cylindrical body portion 209 protrudes from the bottom plate portion 201 toward the other side L2 in the direction of the axis L, and fits into the hole 221 of the second substrate 22. A connecting portion 202 c for attaching the movable unit 7 is formed on the outer surface of the side plate portion 202.

底板部２０１の軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１の面には、第２円筒部２０３と側板部２０２とを繋ぐ連結部２０５が周方向において等角度間隔の３個所に形成されており、連結部２０５によって周方向で挟まれた領域には位置決め用の突起２０６が形成されている。また、底板部２０１の第２円筒部２０３付近および側板部２０２付近には突起２０７ａ、２０７ｂが形成されている。また、底板部２０１では、第２円筒部２０３と第２貫通穴２０４との間に環状段部２０８が形成されており、かかる環状段部２０８は、図２に示すラジアル軸受９０の内輪９２に当接して内輪９２が軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２に抜けるのを防止している。   On the surface of one side L1 in the axis L direction of the bottom plate portion 201, connecting portions 205 that connect the second cylindrical portion 203 and the side plate portion 202 are formed at three equiangular intervals in the circumferential direction. A positioning projection 206 is formed in a region sandwiched by the circumferential direction. Protrusions 207 a and 207 b are formed in the vicinity of the second cylindrical portion 203 and the side plate portion 202 of the bottom plate portion 201. Further, in the bottom plate portion 201, an annular step portion 208 is formed between the second cylindrical portion 203 and the second through hole 204, and the annular step portion 208 is formed on the inner ring 92 of the radial bearing 90 shown in FIG. This prevents the inner ring 92 from coming off to the other side L2 in the axis L direction.

第２コイル２３は、円環状に巻回された偏平コイルであり、第２円筒部２０３、筒状胴部２０９および第２貫通穴２０４を中心に周回するように配置されている。第２コイル２３に対して、軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２には円環状の第２コア２５が配置されている。第２コイル２３と第２コア２５との間には接着剤層が介在している。   The second coil 23 is a flat coil wound in an annular shape, and is arranged to circulate around the second cylindrical portion 203, the cylindrical body portion 209, and the second through hole 204. An annular second core 25 is disposed on the other side L2 in the axis L direction with respect to the second coil 23. An adhesive layer is interposed between the second coil 23 and the second core 25.

第２コア２５は、第２コイル２３に対して軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２で重なる底板部２５１と、底板部２５１の内縁から突出して第２コイル２３の内周部分に径方向内側で重なる内板部２５２と、底板部２５１の外縁から突出して第２コイル２３の外周部分に径方向外側で重なる外板部２５３とを有している。底板部２５１には穴２５１ａが形成されており、穴２５１ａに突起２０６が嵌ることにより第２コア２５の位置決めが行われている。   The second core 25 includes a bottom plate portion 251 that overlaps the second coil 23 on the other side L2 in the axis L direction, and an inner portion that protrudes from the inner edge of the bottom plate portion 251 and overlaps the inner peripheral portion of the second coil 23 in the radial direction. A plate portion 252 and an outer plate portion 253 that protrudes from the outer edge of the bottom plate portion 251 and overlaps with the outer peripheral portion of the second coil 23 on the radially outer side. A hole 251a is formed in the bottom plate portion 251, and the positioning of the second core 25 is performed by fitting the projection 206 into the hole 251a.

第２コア２５は、周方向に分割された分割コアである。本形態において、第２コア２５は、等角度間隔に３分割されており、３つのコア片２５０が周方向に等角度間隔で配置さ
れている。かかるコア片２５０は、周方向の両端が突起２０７ａ、２０７ｂによって位置決めされている。この状態で、第２コイル２３の端部２３０は、コア片２５０の間を通って、第２コア２５に対して第２コイル２３とは反対側に配置された第２基板２２まで引き出されている。また、本形態では、第１コア１５を４分割し、第２コア２５を３分割したため、第１コア１５のコア片１５０の隙間と、第２コア２５のコア片２５０の隙間が複数個所で重なることがない。それ故、磁気的な特性の変動を抑えることができる。 The second core 25 is a divided core divided in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the second core 25 is divided into three at equal angular intervals, and three core pieces 250 are arranged at equal angular intervals in the circumferential direction. The core piece 250 is positioned at both ends in the circumferential direction by the protrusions 207a and 207b. In this state, the end 230 of the second coil 23 passes between the core pieces 250 and is drawn to the second substrate 22 disposed on the opposite side of the second coil 25 from the second coil 23. Yes. In this embodiment, since the first core 15 is divided into four and the second core 25 is divided into three, the gap between the core piece 150 of the first core 15 and the gap between the core pieces 250 of the second core 25 are plural. There is no overlap. Therefore, fluctuations in magnetic characteristics can be suppressed.

このように構成した第２コア２５において、内板部２５２の厚さは、外板部２５３の厚さより厚い。本形態において、第２コア２５（コア片２５０）は、エポキシ樹脂等の熱硬化性樹脂によって磁性粉を固めてなる。   In the second core 25 configured as above, the thickness of the inner plate portion 252 is thicker than the thickness of the outer plate portion 253. In this embodiment, the second core 25 (core piece 250) is formed by solidifying magnetic powder with a thermosetting resin such as an epoxy resin.

このように構成した可動ユニット７において、第２ホルダ２０に保持された第２コイル２３および第２コア２５は、固定ユニット６において、第１ホルダ１０に保持された第１コイル１３および第１コア１５と軸線Ｌ方向で近接した状態で対向する。また、可動ユニット７は、第１ホルダ１０の第１貫通穴１０４に配置されたラジアル軸受９０を中心に回転する。従って、第１コイル１３に通電すれば、第２コイル２３および第２コア２５と、第１コイル１３および第１コア１５との間の磁気的な結合によって、第２コイル２３に起電力を誘起させることができる。それ故、固定ユニット６から可動ユニット７に電力を伝送することができる。   In the movable unit 7 configured as described above, the second coil 23 and the second core 25 held by the second holder 20 are the same as the first coil 13 and the first core held by the first holder 10 in the fixed unit 6. 15 and facing in the axial L direction. The movable unit 7 rotates around a radial bearing 90 disposed in the first through hole 104 of the first holder 10. Therefore, if the first coil 13 is energized, an electromotive force is induced in the second coil 23 by magnetic coupling between the second coil 23 and the second core 25 and the first coil 13 and the first core 15. Can be made. Therefore, power can be transmitted from the fixed unit 6 to the movable unit 7.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an optical element for optical communication used in the non-contact power transmission apparatus 1 to which the present invention is applied. FIGS. 8A and 8B show the first substrate 12 and the second substrate 22. 2 is a perspective view of the first substrate 12 and the second substrate 22 as viewed from one side L1 in the axis L direction. FIGS. 9A and 9B are explanatory views showing the positions of optical elements for optical communication in the non-contact power transmission apparatus 1 to which the present invention is applied. FIGS. 9A and 9B show the second holder 20 in the direction of the axis L. They are the perspective view seen from the other side L2, and the perspective view which looked at the 1st holder 10 from the one side L1 of the axis line L direction.

図８に示すように、第１基板１２の軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２に向く第１面１２ａには、軸線Ｌ（穴１２１）から等距離の位置に光通信用の第１光学素子１４１（発光素子１４１ａおよび受光素子１４１ｂ）が設けられており、第２基板２２の軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に向く第１面２２ａには、軸線Ｌ（穴２２１）から等距離の位置に光通信用の第２光学素子２４１（発光素子２４１ａおよび受光素子２４１ｂ）が設けられている。また、第１基板１２の軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１に向く第２面１２ｂには各種電子部品１４４が実装され、第２基板２２の軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２に向く第２面２２ｂには各種電子部品２４４が実装されている。   As shown in FIG. 8, on the first surface 12a facing the other side L2 in the direction of the axis L of the first substrate 12, the first optical element 141 (for optical communication) at a position equidistant from the axis L (hole 121). The light emitting element 141a and the light receiving element 141b) are provided, and the first surface 22a facing the one side L1 in the axis L direction of the second substrate 22 is disposed at an equidistant position from the axis L (hole 221). The second optical element 241 (light emitting element 241a and light receiving element 241b) is provided. Various electronic components 144 are mounted on the second surface 12b facing the one side L1 in the axis L direction of the first substrate 12, and on the second surface 22b facing the other side L2 of the second substrate 22 in the axis L direction. Various electronic components 244 are mounted.

ここで、軸線Ｌから第１光学素子１４１（発光素子１４１ａおよび受光素子１４１ｂ）までの距離は、軸線Ｌから第２光学素子２４１（発光素子２４１ａおよび受光素子２４１ｂ）までの距離と等しい。このため、可動ユニット７が軸線Ｌ周りに回転した際、第２光学素子２４１（発光素子２４１ａおよび受光素子２４１ｂ）は、第１光学素子１４１（発光素子１４１ａおよび受光素子１４１ｂ）に対して軸線Ｌ方向で重なる位置を通過する。   Here, the distance from the axis L to the first optical element 141 (light emitting element 141a and light receiving element 141b) is equal to the distance from the axis L to the second optical element 241 (light emitting element 241a and light receiving element 241b). For this reason, when the movable unit 7 rotates around the axis L, the second optical element 241 (the light emitting element 241a and the light receiving element 241b) has an axis L relative to the first optical element 141 (the light emitting element 141a and the light receiving element 141b). Pass through the overlapping position in the direction.

かかる構成の第１基板１２は、図９（ｂ）に示す第１ホルダ１０の底板部１０１に対して軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１で重なる。第１ホルダ１０の底板部１０１において軸線Ｌ方向の一方側Ｌ１には、発光素子１４１ａと重なる位置に凹部１０１ｅが形成され、受光素子１４１ｂと重なる位置に凹部１０１ｆが形成されている。本形態において、凹部１０１ｅ、１０１ｆは、第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３と重なる位置に形成されている。   The first substrate 12 having such a configuration overlaps with the bottom plate portion 101 of the first holder 10 shown in FIG. 9B on one side L1 in the axis L direction. On one side L1 in the direction of the axis L in the bottom plate portion 101 of the first holder 10, a recess 101e is formed at a position overlapping the light emitting element 141a, and a recess 101f is formed at a position overlapping the light receiving element 141b. In this embodiment, the recesses 101e and 101f are formed at positions overlapping the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10.

また、図８に示す第２基板２２は、図９（ａ）に示す第２ホルダ２０の底板部２０１に対して軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２で重なる。第２ホルダ２０の底板部２０１において軸線Ｌ方向の他方側Ｌ２には、発光素子２４１ａと重なる位置に凹部２０１ｅが形成され、受光素子２４１ｂと重なる位置に凹部２０１ｆが形成されている。本形態において、凹部２０１ｅ、２０１ｆは、第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３と重なる位置に形成されている。   Further, the second substrate 22 shown in FIG. 8 overlaps the bottom plate portion 201 of the second holder 20 shown in FIG. 9A on the other side L2 in the axis L direction. On the other side L2 in the axis L direction of the bottom plate portion 201 of the second holder 20, a recess 201e is formed at a position overlapping the light emitting element 241a, and a recess 201f is formed at a position overlapping the light receiving element 241b. In this embodiment, the recesses 201e and 201f are formed at positions that overlap the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20.

ここで、第１ホルダ１０では、第１円筒部１０３が底板部１０１から第２ホルダ２０に向けて突出し、第２ホルダ２０では、第２円筒部２０３が底板部２０１から第１ホルダ１０に向けて突出し、第１円筒部１０３と第２円筒部２０３とは先端部同士が軸線Ｌ方向で対向している。   Here, in the first holder 10, the first cylindrical portion 103 protrudes from the bottom plate portion 101 toward the second holder 20, and in the second holder 20, the second cylindrical portion 203 extends from the bottom plate portion 201 toward the first holder 10. The first cylindrical portion 103 and the second cylindrical portion 203 are opposed to each other in the axis L direction.

また、第１ホルダ１０および第２ホルダ２０は、第１円筒部１０３および第２円筒部２０３を含めて全体が、発光素子１４１ａ、２４１ａが出射する光（光通信に用いる光）に対して透光性を有している。従って、固定ユニット６側の発光素子１４１ａから出射された光は、第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３、および第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３を導光路として、可動ユニット７側の受光素子２４１ｂに到達する。また、可動ユニット７側の発光素子２４１ａから出射された光は、第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３、および第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３を導光路として、固定ユニット６側の受光素子１４１ｂに到達する。それ故、固定ユニット６（第１ホルダ１０の側）と可動ユニット７（第２ホルダ２０の側）との間では、第１ホルダ１０および第２ホルダ２０を導光路として双方向の光通信を行うことができる。すなわち、本形態によれば、第１ホルダ１０の第１貫通穴１０４、および第２ホルダ２０の第２貫通穴２０４を避けた位置において光通信を行うことができる。   The first holder 10 and the second holder 20 including the first cylindrical portion 103 and the second cylindrical portion 203 as a whole are transparent to the light emitted from the light emitting elements 141a and 241a (light used for optical communication). It has light properties. Therefore, the light emitted from the light emitting element 141a on the fixed unit 6 side is received on the movable unit 7 side using the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10 and the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20 as light guide paths. The element 241b is reached. The light emitted from the light emitting element 241a on the movable unit 7 side is received on the fixed unit 6 side by using the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20 and the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10 as a light guide path. It reaches the element 141b. Therefore, bidirectional optical communication is performed between the fixed unit 6 (first holder 10 side) and the movable unit 7 (second holder 20 side) using the first holder 10 and the second holder 20 as a light guide path. It can be carried out. That is, according to this embodiment, optical communication can be performed at a position avoiding the first through hole 104 of the first holder 10 and the second through hole 204 of the second holder 20.

なお、本形態において、第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３はカバー１９１の穴の内側に位置し、第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３はカバー２９１の穴の内側に位置しており、光通信用の光はカバー１９１、２９１の内側を通るようになっている。但し、第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３と第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３との間にカバー１９１、２９１が介在している構成であってもよく、この場合、カバー１９１、２９１が発光素子１４１ａ、２４１ａが出射する光（光通信に用いる光）に対して透光性を有している構成とする。   In this embodiment, the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10 is located inside the hole of the cover 191, the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20 is located inside the hole of the cover 291, The light for optical communication passes through the inside of the covers 191 and 291. However, the cover 191 and 291 may be interposed between the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10 and the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20. In this case, the covers 191 and 291 may be used. Has a light-transmitting property with respect to light emitted from the light-emitting elements 141a and 241a (light used for optical communication).

For this reason, even when positioning the 1st holder 10 and the 2nd holder 20 on the basis of the 1st through-hole 104 and the 2nd through-hole 204, optical communication can be performed appropriately.

すなわち、本形態では、第１貫通穴１０４および第２貫通穴２０４のうち、第１貫通穴１０４に第１貫通穴１０４および第２貫通穴２０４に対して同心状のラジアル軸受９０が中心部材として配置されている。このため、第１ホルダ１０および第２ホルダ２０は、ラジアル軸受９０（中心部材）を中心に相対回転する。従って、第１コイル１３と第２コイル２３の同心性を確保することができるので、第１コイル１３と第２コイル２３との間での電力の伝送効率を高めることができる。かかる構成を採用した場合には、第１貫通穴１
０４および第２貫通穴２０４を導光路として利用できなくなるが、本形態では、第１貫通穴１０４と第２貫通穴２０４とを避けた位置で光通信を行うため、光通信を適正に行うことができる。また、ラジアル軸受９０によって、固定ユニット６（第１ホルダ１０）と可動ユニット７（第２ホルダ２０）との軸線Ｌ方向の相対位置を規定することができるので、固定ユニット６（第１ホルダ１０）と可動ユニット７（第２ホルダ２０）との間に適正な間隙を確保することができる。それ故、第１コイル１３と第２コイル２３との間での電力の伝送効率を高めることができる。 That is, in the present embodiment, of the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 204, the radial bearing 90 concentric with the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 204 is used as the central member. Has been placed. For this reason, the 1st holder 10 and the 2nd holder 20 rotate relatively centering on the radial bearing 90 (center member). Therefore, since the concentricity of the first coil 13 and the second coil 23 can be ensured, the power transmission efficiency between the first coil 13 and the second coil 23 can be increased. When such a configuration is adopted, the first through hole 1
04 and the second through hole 204 cannot be used as a light guide path. In this embodiment, since optical communication is performed at a position avoiding the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 204, the optical communication is appropriately performed. Can do. Further, since the radial bearing 90 can define the relative position of the fixed unit 6 (first holder 10) and the movable unit 7 (second holder 20) in the direction of the axis L, the fixed unit 6 (first holder 10). ) And the movable unit 7 (second holder 20). Therefore, the power transmission efficiency between the first coil 13 and the second coil 23 can be increased.

また、軸線Ｌ方向からみたとき、光通信は、第１貫通穴１０４と第１コイル１３との間、および第２貫通穴２０４と第２コイル２３との間で行われる。このため、光の分散範囲が狭いので、光通信を確実に行うことができる。   Further, when viewed from the direction of the axis L, optical communication is performed between the first through hole 104 and the first coil 13 and between the second through hole 204 and the second coil 23. For this reason, since the dispersion range of light is narrow, optical communication can be performed reliably.

また、第１ホルダ１０および第２ホルダ２０は、光通信に用いられる光に対して透過性を有しているため、光通信の際の導光路として利用することができる。特に本形態では、第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３と、第１円筒部１０３と先端部同士が対向する第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３とを導光路として利用している。このため、第１貫通穴１０４と第２貫通穴２０４とを避けた位置で光通信を行う場合でも、導光路の構成を簡素化することができるとともに、確実な光通信を行うことができる。   Moreover, since the 1st holder 10 and the 2nd holder 20 have transparency with respect to the light used for optical communication, it can be utilized as a light guide path in the case of optical communication. In particular, in this embodiment, the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10 and the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20 whose front end faces the first cylindrical portion 103 are used as a light guide path. For this reason, even when optical communication is performed at a position avoiding the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 204, the configuration of the light guide path can be simplified and reliable optical communication can be performed.

また、本形態において、光通信は、１つの受光素子２４１ｂと複数の発光素子１４１ａとの間、および１つの受光素子１４１ｂと複数の発光素子２４１ａとの間で行われる。その際、複数の発光素子１４１ａは同一の光信号を出力し、複数の発光素子２４１ａは同一の光信号を出力する。このため、第１貫通穴１０４と第２貫通穴２０４とを避けた位置で光通信を行う場合でも、発光素子１４１ａが発した光が受光素子２４１ｂに確実に届き、発光素子２４１ａが発した光が受光素子１４１ｂに確実に届く。   In this embodiment, optical communication is performed between one light receiving element 241b and a plurality of light emitting elements 141a, and between one light receiving element 141b and a plurality of light emitting elements 241a. At that time, the plurality of light emitting elements 141a output the same optical signal, and the plurality of light emitting elements 241a output the same optical signal. For this reason, even when optical communication is performed at a position avoiding the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 204, the light emitted from the light emitting element 141a reliably reaches the light receiving element 241b and the light emitted from the light emitting element 241a. Surely reaches the light receiving element 141b.

また、本形態では、第１コイル１３に対して第２コイル２３側とは反対側に第１コア１５が配置され、２コイル２３に対して第１コイル１３側とは反対側に第２コア２５が配置されている。このため、第１コイル１３側と第２コイル２３側との磁気的な結合を強くすることができる。しかも、第１コア１５および第２コア２５では、内板部１５２、２５２の厚さが外板部１５３、２５３の厚さより厚い。このため、周長が短い内板部１５２、２５２で磁気飽和が発生することを抑制することができる。   In this embodiment, the first core 15 is disposed on the opposite side of the first coil 13 from the second coil 23 side, and the second core is disposed on the opposite side of the second coil 23 from the first coil 13 side. 25 is arranged. For this reason, the magnetic coupling between the first coil 13 side and the second coil 23 side can be strengthened. Moreover, in the first core 15 and the second core 25, the thickness of the inner plate portions 152 and 252 is thicker than the thickness of the outer plate portions 153 and 253. For this reason, it can suppress that magnetic saturation generate | occur | produces in the inner-plate parts 152 and 252 with short circumference.

また、第１コア１５および第２コア２５は分割コアであり、コア片１５０、２５０の間は、第１コイル１３の端部１３０および第２コイル２３の端部２３０の引き出しに利用されている。このため、第１コイル１３の端部１３０および第２コイル２３の端部２３０を引き回すための余計なスペースを削減することができる。   The first core 15 and the second core 25 are split cores, and the space between the core pieces 150 and 250 is used for drawing out the end portion 130 of the first coil 13 and the end portion 230 of the second coil 23. . For this reason, an extra space for routing the end portion 130 of the first coil 13 and the end portion 230 of the second coil 23 can be reduced.

また、第１コア１５および第２コア２５は、熱硬化性樹脂によって磁性粉を固めてなるため、焼結とは違って、高圧で圧縮する設備が不要であるなど、比較的、簡素な設備で製造することができる。   In addition, since the first core 15 and the second core 25 are made of a magnetic powder that is hardened by a thermosetting resin, unlike the sintering, there is no need for a facility for compressing at a high pressure. Can be manufactured.

また、第１ホルダ１０の第１円筒部１０３の径方向内側に環状段部１０９が形成され、第２ホルダ２０の第２円筒部２０３の径方向内側にも環状段部２０８が形成されている。このため、ラジアル軸受９０の外輪９１は、環状段部１０９によって抜け止めされ、ラジアル軸受９０の内輪９２は、環状段部２０８によって抜け止めされている。従って、可動ユニット７（第２ホルダ２０）を固定ユニット６（第１ホルダ１０）においてラジアル軸受９０を介して安定に支持することができる。また、ラジアル軸受９０によって、固定ユニット６（第１ホルダ１０）と可動ユニット７（第２ホルダ２０）との間に適正な間隙を確保することができる。   An annular step 109 is formed on the inner side in the radial direction of the first cylindrical portion 103 of the first holder 10, and an annular step 208 is also formed on the inner side in the radial direction of the second cylindrical portion 203 of the second holder 20. . Therefore, the outer ring 91 of the radial bearing 90 is prevented from coming off by the annular step portion 109, and the inner ring 92 of the radial bearing 90 is kept from coming off by the annular step portion 208. Therefore, the movable unit 7 (second holder 20) can be stably supported via the radial bearing 90 in the fixed unit 6 (first holder 10). Further, the radial bearing 90 can ensure an appropriate gap between the fixed unit 6 (first holder 10) and the movable unit 7 (second holder 20).

また、本形態では、ラジアル軸受９０が円環状であるため、第１ホルダ１０および第２ホルダ２０には大きな荷重が加わらない。それ故、第１ホルダ１０および第２ホルダ２０を耐荷重性に優れた高価な材料で構成する必要がない。   In this embodiment, since the radial bearing 90 is annular, a large load is not applied to the first holder 10 and the second holder 20. Therefore, it is not necessary to configure the first holder 10 and the second holder 20 with an expensive material having excellent load resistance.

In the above embodiment, the radial bearing 90 is arranged using the first through hole 104, but the radial bearing 90 may be arranged using both the first through hole 104 and the second through hole 204.

However, the first core 15 may be divided into other numbers. In any case, the gap between the core pieces 150 of the first core 15 and the gap between the core pieces 250 of the second core 25 may be divided into a number that does not overlap at a plurality of locations.
