Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a door lock actuator, and more particularly to a door lock actuator that automatically locks and unlocks an automobile door using an electrically operated switch.

Conventionally, an electromagnetic solenoid has been used as a driving means in an actuator for a door lock device. The thrust generated by this electromagnetic solenoid is based on the magnetic attraction force between the axially opposing end surfaces of the movable core and yoke, so its thrust characteristics are as follows:
At the start of the operation, the generated thrust is small, and at the end of the operation, the generated thrust is large.

Therefore, door lock actuators that use electromagnetic solenoids as driving means have the following drawbacks.

(1) Since the thrust generated at the end of the operation is large, the operation sound at the end is shocking and becomes quite loud.

(2) If a sound absorbing material is attached to the end face of the yoke or the end face of the mover in order to absorb the impact sound at the end, the length of the gap that generates the electromagnetic attraction force becomes large, resulting in a decrease in the thrust force generated.

(3) Since it is necessary to use separate electromagnetic coils for each push and pull operation, the size and weight are large.

Therefore, in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, a movable magnet type door lock actuator has been proposed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 123955/1983.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional front view of a drive unit in the conventional movable magnet type door lock actuator.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a yoke having a substantially E-shaped end face in longitudinal section, and is composed of a cylindrical outer circumferential yoke 2, a center yoke 3, and side yokes 4, 4a, all of which are made of a soft magnetic material. side yoke 4,4
a is a side plate 5 attached to both ends of the outer yoke 2;
It is integrated with the outer circumferential yoke 2 via 5a. 6, 6a are bearings fixed to the centers of the side yokes 4, 4a.

Inside the yoke 1, two electromagnetic coils 8, 8a are arranged, which are housed in coil bobbins 7, 7a, respectively. wired in parallel.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a mover disposed in the center of the yoke 1. The mover 9 has magnetic pole pieces 11, 11a attached to both ends of a ring-shaped permanent magnet 10 magnetized in the axial direction. Sound absorbing materials 12, 12a such as rubber are attached to both ends of the pieces 11, 11a, and these are integrally supported and fixed to a shaft 13. The shaft 13 is supported by the yoke 1 via bearings 6 and 6a.

Further, in the above drive device, the magnetic pole piece 11
and 11a are the annular portions 14 and 14, respectively.
The inner surface of the side yokes 4, 4a is formed to have a similar shape to the tapered parts 15, 15a.

The operation of the above configuration starts with the electromagnetic coil 8
and 8a, the S pole is on the magnetic pole part A of the center yoke 3, and the magnetic pole part B, C of the side yokes 4, 4a.
When energized so that a north pole is generated in the magnetic pole piece 11
is magnetically repelled by the sound absorbing part B, while the magnetic pole piece 11
a is magnetically attracted to the magnetic pole portion C.

From this, a thrust force is applied to the movable element 9 in the direction of the arrow E shown in the figure. In addition, the electromagnetic coils 8, 8a
When the energization direction is reversed, a similar magnetic relationship occurs, and a thrust force is applied to the movable element 9 in the direction of arrow F in the figure.

The door lock actuator described above solves the drawbacks of the door lock actuator using the electromagnetic solenoid.

However, this door lock actuator has a drawback in the structure of the mover. This drawback will be explained based on FIG.

Here, FIG. 2 is an enlarged vertical sectional front view of the movable element of the door lock actuator shown in FIG. 1.

Since the magnetic pole pieces 11 and 11a of the movable element 9 are fixed to the shaft 13 using an adhesive, the bonding process requires time and effort, and has the disadvantage of poor workability.

This invention eliminates these drawbacks,
The object of the present invention is to provide a door lock actuator that can easily and firmly fix the magnetic pole piece of a mover.

The feature of this invention is that two electromagnetic coils are arranged in a yoke whose longitudinal end face is approximately E-shaped so that the same polarity occurs in adjacent parts, and in the center of the yoke,
A mover formed by holding magnetic pole pieces consisting of an annular part and a truncated conical part having approximately the same outer diameter as the permanent magnet at both ends of a ring-shaped permanent magnet magnetized in the axial direction. In a door lock actuator having a reciprocating drive device that is movably arranged and in which inner circumferential surfaces on both sides of the yoke are formed in a shape substantially similar to the truncated conical part of the magnetic pole piece, This actuator for a door lock has a circumferential groove formed therein and is caulked into the outer circumferential groove formed around the outer edge of the small diameter side of the circumferential groove.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

Here, FIG. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional front view of a movable member of a door lock actuator according to one embodiment, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a main part G thereof.

In this figure, parts equivalent to those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numerals. 16, 16a are the magnetic pole pieces of the mover 9, and 17, 17a are the magnetic pole pieces 16, 16, respectively.
The circumferential grooves 18 and 18a are the small-diameter outer edges of the circumferential grooves 17 and 17a, 19 is the shaft of the mover 9, and 20 and 20a are the circumferential grooves bored on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 19, respectively. This is a peripheral groove provided.

In the above configuration, the shaft 1 of the sound absorbing material 16, 16a
9, by inserting the magnetic pole pieces 16, 16a into the shaft 19, and as shown in FIG.
When the pressure bar H of the press is pressed against the small-diameter side outer edges 18, 18a of the
As shown in the figure, they enter the outer circumferential grooves 20 and 20a of the shaft 19, respectively, and are firmly fixed.

As explained above, the door lock actuator according to this embodiment has the magnetic pole piece 16 of the mover 9,
16a to the shaft 19, the magnetic pole pieces 16, 16a
The small-diameter side outer edges 18, 18a of the circumferential grooves 17, 17a bored in the end face of the shaft 19 are caulked to the outer circumferential grooves 20, 20a bored in the outer circumferential surface of the shaft 19.

Therefore, it does not require the time and effort of conventional adhesive bonding, and has good workability.
