Description

ELECTRIC MOTOR ACTUATOR WITH DC MOTOR [0002]

The present invention relates to an electric actuator, and more particularly, to an electric actuator using a direct current DC motor, which can be manufactured in a small size, and which is provided with a speed increasing portion for increasing the torque through a planetary deceleration, To an electric actuator using a DC motor which displaces the electric motor in the axial direction.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as a means for conveying a material or the like, an electric actuator for displacing a slider for conveying the material by rotationally driving a feed screw by a rotational driving force of a rotary drive source such as a motor is widely known

In addition, the electric actuator is used in electric valves and dampers for controlling the flow rate of fluid such as hot water, cold water, steam, etc. In particular, an electric actuator for adjusting the opening degree of a valve or damper for controlling the flow rate of various fluids, A deceleration gear mechanism that decelerates the rotation of the drive motor to transmit the decelerated gear mechanism to a rotation shaft of a valve or a damper to be controlled, and a reduction gear mechanism that detects a current operation angle (or an operation range) of the rotation shaft And an operation angle detecting mechanism.

Further, as the reduction gear mechanism provided in the electric actuator, it is known that a planetary gear mechanism composed of a planetary gear, a planetary gear, and an internal gear is generally used in which a plurality of spur gears are usually stacked in multiple stages.

The rotation of the drive motor is reduced by the reduction gear mechanism to be transmitted to the shaft (rotation shaft) of the valve. However, the shaft of this valve is connected to the gear base at the final stage of the planetary gear mechanism, To the reloading through the transmission gear.

Generally, a planetary gear reducer is a gear train in which a sun gear, a ring gear, and planetary gears are arranged on a concentric line. In the case of the same transmission ratio, the volume is smaller than that of a gear train disposed in a speed reducer of another principle, And has been used in various fields requiring small size and light weight because of high transmission efficiency. In addition, the planetary gear reducer can be easily obtained at a low price because of mass production due to the known structure.

A general structure of an electric actuator including the above-described planetary gear reducer includes a motor generating a rotational force and a planetary gear reducer connected to a rotation shaft of the motor to increase a rotational force generated from the motor, And a link structure that receives the rotational force from the output shaft of the speed reducer and converts the rotational force into a linear reciprocating motion.

Specifically, the planetary gear reducer receives a high rotation speed of the motor and receives the rotation speed of the motor. With the sun gear as an input shaft, the number of rotations is reduced by the gear ratio of the planetary gear and the ring gear in the planetary gear reducer, . However, these high torques could be utilized, but the rotations were so low that they could not be applied to industrial machines.

Below I have listed the advantages and disadvantages of the planetary gear reducer below.

First of all, the advantages of the planetary gear reducer are as follows: First, the power transmission ratio per unit volume of planetary gears is small and lightweight. Second, since the transmission load and speed of each gear are reduced, the friction loss is small and the efficiency is increased. Third, the input shaft and the output shaft are coaxial. Fourth, two or more planetary gears can be combined. Fifth, because the power consumption is low, it is possible to generate profit by charging with self-generated power based on the photovoltaic power generation standard.

However, as a disadvantage of the planetary gear reducer, caution must be exercised when using it at high speed due to centrifugal force due to idle motion. Also, if the transmission power is too small, it will cost more than an ordinary transmission.

Therefore, it can not be used in industrial machines that require high speeds. However, it is not possible to use the electric actuators efficiently because of how to set the connection structure between the reducer and the motor, how to arrange the gears of the reducer, It can bring about an increase in the rotational force, and it is not necessarily impossible.

The problem of the arrangement of these gears is becoming important. Since the structure for connecting the rotation shaft of the motor to the planetary gear train and the structure for appropriately arranging and coupling the multi-planetary gear train are set, Is very important for an electric actuator.

Therefore, the present invention proposes a solution for how to transmit the high torque produced by the planetary gear reducer without dropping, and to increase the feed speed while maintaining the transmitted torque.

On the other hand, the planetary gear reducer input by using the AC motor is limited in the installation space due to an increase in the overall size, and the reduction ratio can not be maintained in an optimal state, so that the use thereof is limited. There is a problem that a defective rate due to manufacturing tolerance or assembly tolerance is generated.

Further, in the case of an electric actuator of an industrial machine which must obtain a large torque, an actuator using an AC power source is required because the horsepower must be high. A hydraulic actuator is required when a large power is required. This also takes a lot of space, and in particular, it is inconvenient to provide a separate power supply device, such as a hydraulic power supply, in order to have an AC power supply.

Further, the speed increasing portion of the present invention is provided with a detachable cover on the outer side so that the driving pulley and the driven pulley can be easily exchanged so that the required number of revolutions can be set precisely so that the number of revolutions can be transmitted in accordance with the required torque.

The displacement nut 410 is rotatably screwed to the screw shaft 412 and moves in the axial direction AB by the rotation of the screw shaft 412. The displacement nut 410 is provided at one side with the inner diameter of the cylinder body 411 A guide ring 413 having a predetermined diameter is engaged and slidably contacts within the cylinder body 411 to prevent vibration or departure.

The power input unit 100 may be a DC DC motor. In detail, a DC motor that is rotationally driven by a current supplied from a power source (not shown) can be made smaller than a conventional AC motor and can generate a higher torque than the initial AC motor at the same size, Lt; / RTI > Therefore, the power can be transmitted by only the battery without the need of a separate AC power source.

Also, in the case of an electric actuator of an industrial machine which must obtain a high torque, an actuator using an AC power source is mainly provided. However, since it is difficult to control the DC motor as compared with a DC motor, a separate inverter device must be provided. Can be solved.

Therefore, the power transmitted from the power input section 100 driven by the electric signal is transmitted to the planetary deceleration section 200 and the rotation speed shortened by the speed increasing section 300 after the torque is increased in the planetary deceleration section 200 It can be increased as needed. Thereafter, the cylinder unit 400 is provided with a displacement nut 410 which can be displaced under a given stroke by the driving force from the speed increasing unit 300, so that the driving force from the speed increasing unit 300 is transmitted to the displacement mechanism 420, As shown in Fig.

The planetary deceleration unit 200 transmits a high torque to the speed increasing unit 300 through the output shaft 210. In this case, the operation principle of the planetary deceleration unit 200 is known to those skilled in the art, Detailed implementation steps are omitted.

The speed increasing portion 300 is screwed to the lower end of the planetary speed reducing portion 200 and the cover 310 capable of opening and closing is screwed to the speed increasing portion 300.

The speed increasing portion 300 includes a drive pulley 320 coupled to the output shaft 210 of the planetary reduction portion 200, a driven pulley 330 coupled to the screw shaft 412 of the cylinder portion 400, And a timing belt 340 suspended between the driving pulley 320 and the driven pulley 330.

(Example)

The electric actuator using the direct current motor in the embodiment of the present invention is basically configured as described above. Next, the operation and the operation effect will be described. The state in which the displacement nut 410 shown in FIG. 3 is accommodated in the cylinder body 411 will be described as an initial position. In the initial position of the displacement nut 410, a current is supplied to the power input unit 100 from a power source (not shown), and a high voltage is applied to the planetary deceleration unit 200 engaged with the output shaft 110 of the power input unit 100 The driving pulley 320 of the speed increasing portion 300 engaged with the output shaft 210 is rotationally driven and the rotational driving force is transmitted to the driven pulley 330 by the timing belt 340.

The screw nut 412 connected to the driven pulley 330 is rotated so that the displacement nut 410 together with the displacement mechanism 420 moves toward the other end of the cylinder 400 in the direction of arrow B Displacement.

At this time, since the screw shaft 412 is supported by the second bearing 414 at the lower end and the upper end is supported by the first bearing 415, the screw shaft 412 rotates smoothly and highly accurately, The nut 410 can be displaced along the axial direction.

The guide ring 413 is hooked by the locking protrusion 431 of the front cover 430 attached to the upper end of the cylinder 400 to restrict the displacement of the displacement nut 410. The front cover 430 The rotational displacement is restricted by the displacement mechanism 420 fitted in the inner hole of the cylinder body 411 and the guide ring 413 fitted in the cylinder body 411 so that the displacement nut 410 can be displaced only along the axial direction It is.

4, the displacement nut 410 and the displacement mechanism 420 are displaced upward so that the knuckle joint 440 is gradually protruded so as to be exposed to the outside of the cylinder 400. As shown in FIG.

When the front cover 430 is displaced to one end side (in the direction of arrow A) at a position displaced to the other end of the cylinder part 400, when the DC motor of the power input part 100 is rotated in the opposite direction, The driving pulley 320 and the driven pulley 330 of the planetary decelerator 200 and the speed increasing portion 300 are rotated in the opposite direction and the driving force of the displacement nut 410 Is displaced toward one end side (direction A) of the cylinder part 400, so that the displacement mechanism 420 is slowly accommodated in the inward direction. Thus, the knuckle joint 440 returns to its initial position.
