Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance the driving efficiency of an ultrasonic wave motor by providing the groove of a predetermined depth on the pressure contacting surface of an elastic unit to be pressed with a rotor to suppress the difference of a resonance frequency due to the radial position of an elastic unit to the minimum limit. CONSTITUTION:A piezoelectric unit 2 for exciting a circular elastic unit 1 is fixed to the unit 1, and a stator is composed of the unit 1 and the unit 2. A rotor is pressed in contact with the pressure contacting surface 2a of the unit 1 of the stator, and an ultrasonic wave motor is composed of the stator and the rotor. A groove 1b is formed on the pressure contacting surface of the unit 1 to which the rotor is pressed in contact, and the depth of the groove 1b is reduced radially gradually as apart from the axis of the rotating center.

していた。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to an ultrasonic motor that utilizes ultrasonic vibrations.・ (Blue Tatami of the Invention) This type of device is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-2044 by the present applicant.
It is disclosed in Publication No. 76. This publication cites the difference in resonance frequency depending on the radial position of the elastic body as a factor that hinders the improvement of the efficiency of the ultrasonic motor, and as shown in Figure 2, the thickness of the elastic body 3 on which the piezoelectric body 4 is fixed is rotated. This disadvantage was solved by increasing the distance radially away from the central axis. However, this solution has the disadvantage that the pressure contact surface 3a between the elastic body and the rotor, which requires a high surface area, does not have a planar shape, making it very difficult to manufacture.

) is a sectional view of the stator. In Figure 1,
The annular elastic body 1 includes a piezoelectric body 2 that excites the elastic body 1.
The elastic body 1 and the piezoelectric body 2 constitute a stator. A rotor (not shown) is pressed against the pressure contact surface 1a of the elastic body 1 of the stator, and the stator and rotor constitute an ultrasonic motor. A surface wave (traveling wave) is generated by the piezoelectric body 2 on the pressure contact surface 1a of the elastic body 1 of the stator, to which a rotor (not shown) is pressed, and the rotor is driven by the surface wave. Grooves 1b are provided on the pressure contact surface 1a of the elastic body 1 all around the circumference at a predetermined pitch (FIG. 1(A) simplifies the diagram and shows only a part of the grooves provided on the entire circumference). (The other parts are shown using two-dot chain lines).

Since the angular velocity of the traveling wave changes depending on the radial position of the pressure contact surface 1a, the depth of the groove 1b formed in the elastic body 1 is set such that the farther the radial position is, the more the groove 1b is formed in the elastic body 1. The depth is reduced. In the elastic body 1, the wavelength of the traveling wave becomes longer where the diameter is large, but by changing the depth of the groove depending on the radial position, the rigidity increases where the diameter is large, so the diameter of the elastic body 1 is Differences in resonance frequency depending on position can be minimized. Further, since the pressure contact surface 1a with the rotor is a flat surface, high surface accuracy (in this case, flatness and surface roughness) can be easily achieved by ramping or the like.

するようにしても良い。Further, an example of improvement of this embodiment will be explained. By forming grooves on the pressure contact surface of the stator as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 59-204480 filed by the present applicant, deposits etc. generated due to pressurized contact between the stator and rotor are eliminated and durability is improved. It can also be applied to ultrasonic motors designed to improve That is, in this ultrasonic motor, grooves are provided on the pressure contact surface of the stator all around the circumference as in the above-mentioned embodiment, and this groove is designed to remove deposits generated due to pressurized contact between the stator and rotor. A groove may also be formed.

。In the embodiment, depending on the configuration of the grooves 1b of the pressure contact surface 1a of the stator, that is, the configuration of the spacing between the grooves, the depth and width of the grooves, etc., the vibration that is the driving source of the ultrasonic motor may be compounded. For example, to create an ultrasonic motor using rear metal resonance, it is sufficient to construct a stator with a large number of equally spaced and narrowly spaced grooves. In order to obtain an ultrasonic motor using the vibrations of flowers, grooves may be formed in the stator at equal intervals such that the rigidity of the convex portions between the grooves is increased.
