200843318 此外’板狀部1 3的抵接面1 6及1 7，爲了避免妨礙滾 輪5轉動所伴隨的突起部1 4及1 5之移動，而透過倒角成 圓弧形的倒角部相互連接。 桿1 2之另一端部被固定於彈簧座構件1 8，其位於基部 支持構件1之本體部1 0的凹部內，且被收容成可在該凹部 內自由滑動。在本體部1 〇之凹部的底面20和彈簧座構件 18之間，配置作爲本發明之牽引裝置的彈簧19，彈簧19 將彈簧座構件1 8朝向和本體部1 〇之凹部的底面20反方向 彈推。利用此彈簧1 9之彈推力，而透過彈簧座構件1 8及 桿12 ’朝向定子2牽引連結銷6，因而使滾輪5對定子2 加壓接觸。 如第4圖所示，第1壓電元件部3 1及第2壓電元件部 3 2經由絕緣片3 3〜3 5，以與定子2及基部支持構件1，且 彼此絕緣之狀態配置。第1壓電元件部3 1具有各自是圓板 形之電極板3 1 a、壓電元件板3 1 b、電極板3 1 c、壓電元件 板3 1 d以及電極板3 1 e依序重疊之構造。同樣地，第2壓 電元件部32具有各自是圓板形之電極板32a、壓電元件板 3 2b、電極板32c、壓電元件板32d以及電極板32e依序重 疊之構造。 配置於第1壓電元件部3 1之雙面部分的電極板3 1 a及 電極板3 1 e、配置於第2壓電元件部3 2之雙面部分的電極 板3 2a及電極板32e各自電氣接地。又，從配置於第1壓 電元件部3 1的一對壓電元件板3 1 b及3 1 d之間的電極板 3 1 c、和配置於第2壓電元件部3 2的一對壓電元件板3 2b 200843318 及3 2 d之間的電極板3 2 c各自拉出端子，並和驅動電路8 連接。 此外，驅動電路8具有檢測手段，其藉由量測振動手 段3之電壓而監視作用於此振動手段3的應力，而且根據 該應力之變化而檢測滾輪5分別到達既定之角度範圍的兩 端部。 如第5圖所示，第1壓電元件部3 1的一對壓電元件板 3 1 b及3 1 d之朝向Y軸方向所二分割之部分彼此具有反極 性，並極化成各自朝向Z軸方向（厚度方向）進行膨脹和收 縮之相反的變形舉動，壓電元件板3 1 b和壓電元件板3 1 d 配置成彼此表裡相反。 第2壓電元件部32的一對壓電元件板32b及3 2d未被 二分割，並極化成整體朝向Z軸方向（厚度方向）進行膨脹 和收縮之變形舉動，壓電元件板32b和壓電元件板32d配 置成彼此表裡相反。 其次，說明本第1實施形態之振動致動器的動作。利 用驅動電路8對第1壓電元件部3 1之電極板3 1 c和第2壓 電元件部32的電極板32c各自施加使相位偏移90度之交 流電壓，並在利用振動手段3產生由Y軸方向之彎曲振動 和Z軸方向的縱向振動所組合之複合振動時，在各滾輪5 和定子2的接觸部分產生在YZ面內的橢圓運動，因而，將 2個滾輪5各自以連結銷6爲中心繞X軸進行轉動驅動。 這2個滾輪5同時且朝向同一方向轉動，前端構件7係隨 著該轉動而對定子2進行傾斜動作。 -10- 200843318 在此’如第6圖所示，藉由前端構件7之一方的突起 部1 4和與其對應之板狀部1 3的抵接面1 6抵接，而限制滾 輪5朝第6圖中順時針方向進一步轉動。又，如第7圖所 示’藉由前端構件7之另一方的突起部1 5和與其對應之板 狀部1 3的抵接面17抵接，而限制滾輪5朝第7圖反時針 方向進一步轉動。如此可將滾輪5的轉動限制於既定之角 度範圍。此時，將滾輪5的轉動限制於約90 °之角度範圍。 又，因爲振動手段3被夾持於基部支持構件1和定子 Γ 2之間，而且將滾輪5對定子2加壓接觸，所以藉由前端構 件7的一對突起部1 4及1 5各自和與其對應之桿1 2的板狀 部1 3之抵接面1 6及17抵接，經由連結銷6、滾輪5以及 定子2而作用於振動手段3之應力就發生變化。在此，驅 動電路8因爲藉由量測振動手段3之電壓而監視作用於振 動手段3的應力，所以藉由檢測在前端構件7的一對突起 部1 4及1 5各自和對應之抵接面1 6及1 7抵接時所產生的 ^ 振動手段3之應力變化，而可檢測滾輪5到達既定之角度 範圍的各自之端部。 因此，不必新設置用以檢測滾輪5到達可動極限的極 限感測器等。 在此振動致動器，因爲用連結銷6將圓柱形之2個滾 輪5之間連結，而且將桿1 2的一端部和該連結銷6連結並 牽引，而將滾輪5對定子2進行加壓，所以可實現構造簡 單而且可易於製作的振動致動器。 因爲桿12以2個滾輪5之中央部牽引連結銷6，所以 -11- 200843318 可將各個滾輪5對定子2以均勻的力進行加壓。又，藉由 將彈推力大小相異的彈簧配置於本體部1 〇之凹部的底面 20和彈簧座構件1 8之間，而可易於調整要將2個滾輪5 各自對定子2進行加壓之力的大小。 又，因爲桿1 2穿過定子2、振動手段3以及基部支持 構件1之內部，而且彈簧座構件1 8及彈簧1 9被收容於基 部支持構件1的凹部內，所以達成此振動致動器整體的小 型化。 (： X ' 又，因爲2個滾輪5各自接觸配置於定子2所形成的 截面V字形之槽4的表面，所以利用定子2可穩定地支持 适2個滾輪5。 又，因爲藉由以振動手段3使定子2振動，而2個滾 輪5僅繞共同之一個轉軸轉動，所以可進行穩定的動作， 而且可高精度地控制滾輪5之轉動。因此，藉由使用複數 個該振動致動器，而可實現進行和人手近似之機械手臂。 第2實施形態 其次，參照第8圖，說明本發明之第2實施形態的振 動致動器。本第2實施形態係在第1實施形態的振動致動 器中，於2個滾輪5之兩側，又將2個滾輪5設置成對板 狀部1 3彼此對稱。即，彼此具有相同之大小及形狀的4個 滾輪5，經由連結銷6連結，而且藉由桿12之板狀部13 和連結.銷6連結並被牽引，而使滾輪5對定子2加壓接觸。 桿12之板狀部1 3在滾輪5的延伸方向位於4個滾輪5之 中央部。此外，在此，省略位於中間部之2個滾輪5的外 -12- 200843318 周部所固定之前端構件7的圖示。 因爲以連結銷6連結圓柱形的4個滾輪5之間，並利 用穿過定子2、振動手段3以及基部支持構件1之內部的桿 1 2牽引連結銷6，而使滾輪5對定子2加壓接觸，所以和 上述之第1實施形態一樣可實現雖小型但容易以簡單的構 造製作之振動致動器。 此外，在本第2實施形態，因爲使4個滾輪5各自對 定子2加壓接觸，而且利用定子2之振動將這4個滾輪5 進行轉動驅動，並使前端構件7進行傾斜動作，所以實現 高扭矩’而且減少各滾輪5及定子2之接觸部分的磨耗。 又’因爲4個滾輪5不僅配置成對桿12之板狀部13 彼此對稱，而且具有彼此相同的大小及形狀，所以可進行 穩定之轉動。 此外，亦可於4個滾輪5之兩側，又將偶數個滾輪5 設置成對板狀部1 3彼此對稱。 第3實施形態 I, 其次，參照第9圖，說明本發明之第3實施形態的振 動致動器。本第3實施形態係取代在上述之第2實施形態 中將具有相同之大小的2個滾輪5設置於位於中間部之2 個滾輪5的兩側，而改為將各自具有比滾輪5更小之直徑 的2個滾輪4 1設置成對板狀部1 3彼此對稱。在和定子2 之振動手段3接觸的面之相反側的面，沿著連結銷6的延 伸方向形成具有和4個滾輪5及4 1對應之段差狀的截面形 狀之接觸部42。藉由以桿1 2牽引連結銷6，而使各滾輪5 -13- 200843318 及滾輪4 1對定子2加壓接觸。 即便是如此構成，亦可得到和上述之第2實施形態一 樣的效果。 此外，在本第3實施形態中，因爲將各自具有比滾輪 5更小之直徑的2個滾輪41配置於2個滾輪5之兩側，所 以可使振動致動器變成更小型。 此外，反之，亦可將具有小直徑的2個滾輪41配置於 中間部，並各自將滾輪5配置於其兩側。 € 又，亦可在4個滾輪5及41之兩側，又將偶數個滾輪 設置成對板狀部1 3彼此對稱。此時，新追加之滾輪亦可係 具有和滾輪5及4 1相同的直徑者，亦可係具有大小和滾輪 5及4 1相異之直徑者。在任一種情況，都在和定子2之振 動手段3接觸的面之相反側的面，沿著連結銷6的延伸方 向形成具有和這些滾輪對應之截面形狀的接觸部，並使各 滾輪對定子2加壓接觸較佳。 又，雖然在上述之第1〜第3實施形態說明設置偶數 個滾輪的情況，但是未限定如此，亦可設置3個以上之奇 數個滾輪。例如，如第10圖所示，可利用連結銷6將3個 滾輪5相連結並使用。在此情況，在定子2沿著其軸向形 成2個貫穿孔9，而且將分支成2支之桿12的一端部各自 插入貫穿孔9，再以板狀部1 3和連結銷6連結，藉此以桿 12牽引連結銷6，而可使3個滾輪5對定子2加壓接觸。 第4實施形態 在上述之第1實施形態中，亦可取代圓柱形之2個滾 -14- 200843318 輪5 ’而如第1 1圖所示，改為使用具有截圓錐形的2個滾 輪5 1。2個滾輪5 1之大徑部5 2配置成彼此相對向。在和 定子2之振動手段3接觸的面之相反側的面，沿著連結銷 6的延伸方向形成具有和2個滾輪5 1對應之截面形狀的接 觸部5 3，並使各滾輪5 1對定子2加壓接觸。此外，未圖示 之前端構件固定於2個滾輪5 1的外周部。 即便是如此構成，亦可得到和第1實施形態一樣的效 果。 Γ 此外，如第12圖所示，亦可2個滾輪51之大徑部5 2 配置成彼此朝向相反方向。 又，在第11圖及第12圖中之與定子2抵接之各滾輪 5 1的外周面，亦可形成爲朝向其中心軸呈彎曲狀的缺口， 或朝向該中心軸的相反方向彎曲狀地鼓起。 又，作爲在上述之第2及第3實施形態的各滾輪，亦 可使用此截圓錐形的滾輪5 1。 第5實施形態200843318 IX.

[Prior Art] For example, in Patent Document 1, as shown in Fig. 18, a vibration actuator that rotates a spherical rotor 110 by using ultrasonic vibration is disclosed. One end of the wire 012 is fixed to the inside of the rotor 10 1 , and the rotor 101 is brought into press contact with the stator 103 by pulling the wire 102, and the piezoelectric element 104 is used to cause ultrasonic vibration of the stator 103 to rotate the rotor 101. The wire 102 for pressurizing the stator 103 by the rotor 101 passes through the inside of the stator 103 and the piezoelectric element 104, and the vibration actuator can be miniaturized as a whole. In the case of the vibration actuator, a through hole 105 through which the center of rotation is formed is formed inside the rotor 110, and one end of the wire 102 is inserted into the through hole 105 and fixed to the through hole 105 via the bearing 106. The inner wall surface prevents the occurrence of twisting or the like of the wire 102 accompanying the rotation of the rotor 101. Further, in order to prevent the wire 102 from interfering with the rotation of the rotor 101, the through hole 105 is formed to have a conical shape from the center of rotation of the rotor 101 toward the surface of the rotor 110 opposed to the stator 103. [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] However, as in the vibration actuator of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to be inside the spherical body of the 200843318 rotor 101. It is not easy to form a through-hole 105 having a conical shape through the center of rotation thereof and from the center of rotation toward the surface of the rotor 101 opposed to the stator 103, which is laborious and expensive. Further, since it is necessary to provide the bearing mechanism 1 〇6 for fixing the end of one of the wires 010 inside the through hole 105, the structure is complicated and the production is difficult. The present invention has been made in order to solve such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide an actuator which is small but can be easily fabricated in a simple configuration. [Means for Solving the Problem] The vibration actuator of the present invention includes: a stator; a plurality of rollers respectively supported by the stator and sharing a single rotating shaft; and a connecting pin connecting the plurality of rollers; The means is coupled to the stator, and by causing the stator to vibrate, the contact portion of the stator and the plurality of rollers generates an elliptical or circular motion to rotate the plurality of rollers; and the pre-compression means is one end portion of the plurality of rollers The intermediate portion is coupled to the coupling pin, and the plurality of rollers pressurize the stator by pulling the coupling pin toward the stator. Further, "the middle portion of the plurality of rollers" means that among the plurality of rollers is located between the two outermost rollers.

The pair of piezoelectric element plates 32b and 32d of the second piezoelectric element portion 32 are not divided into two, and are polarized to deform and expand and contract in the Z-axis direction (thickness direction), and the piezoelectric element plate 32b and the pressure are pressed. The electrical component boards 32d are arranged opposite to each other. Next, the operation of the vibration actuator of the first embodiment will be described. An AC voltage that shifts the phase by 90 degrees is applied to the electrode plate 3 1 c of the first piezoelectric element portion 31 and the electrode plate 32 c of the second piezoelectric element portion 32 by the drive circuit 8 and is generated by the vibration means 3 When the composite vibration is combined by the bending vibration in the Y-axis direction and the longitudinal vibration in the Z-axis direction, an elliptical motion in the YZ plane occurs in the contact portion between the roller 5 and the stator 2, and thus the two rollers 5 are connected. The pin 6 is pivotally driven about the X axis. The two rollers 5 are simultaneously rotated in the same direction, and the front end member 7 tilts the stator 2 in accordance with the rotation. -10- 200843318 Here, as shown in Fig. 6, the protrusion portion 14 of one of the distal end members 7 abuts against the abutting surface 16 of the plate-like portion 13 corresponding thereto, and the roller 5 is restricted. 6 further rotation in the clockwise direction. Further, as shown in Fig. 7, the other end of the tip end member 7 abuts against the abutting surface 17 of the plate-like portion 13 corresponding thereto, and the roller 5 is restricted to the counterclockwise direction of Fig. 7. Further rotation. This limits the rotation of the roller 5 to a predetermined angular range. At this time, the rotation of the roller 5 is limited to an angular range of about 90°. Further, since the vibration means 3 is sandwiched between the base supporting member 1 and the stator 2, and the roller 5 is press-contacted to the stator 2, the pair of projections 14 and 15 of the front end member 7 are respectively The abutting surfaces 16 and 17 of the plate-like portion 13 of the corresponding rod 1 2 abut against each other, and the stress acting on the vibrating means 3 via the connecting pin 6, the roller 5, and the stator 2 changes. Here, since the drive circuit 8 monitors the stress acting on the vibrating means 3 by measuring the voltage of the vibrating means 3, it is detected that the pair of protrusions 14 and 15 of the distal end member 7 abut each other. The stress changes of the vibration means 3 generated when the faces 16 and 17 are abutted, and the rollers 5 can be detected to reach the respective ends of the predetermined angular range. Therefore, it is not necessary to newly set a limit sensor or the like for detecting that the roller 5 has reached the movable limit. In this vibration actuator, since the two cylindrical rollers 5 are connected by the joint pin 6, and one end portion of the rod 12 is coupled and pulled by the joint pin 6, the roller 5 is added to the stator 2. Pressure, so that a vibration actuator that is simple in construction and can be easily fabricated can be realized. Since the rod 12 pulls the joint pin 6 at the center of the two rollers 5, -11-200843318 can press the respective rollers 5 against the stator 2 with a uniform force. Further, by disposing a spring having a different magnitude of the projectile thrust between the bottom surface 20 of the recessed portion of the main body portion 1 and the spring seat member 18, it is easy to adjust the two rollers 5 to pressurize the stator 2, respectively. Magnitude of the force. Further, since the rod 12 passes through the inside of the stator 2, the vibrating means 3, and the base supporting member 1, and the spring seat member 18 and the spring 19 are housed in the recess of the base supporting member 1, the vibration actuator is achieved. The overall miniaturization. (: X ' Further, since the two rollers 5 are in contact with the surface of the groove 4 which is disposed in the V-shaped cross section formed by the stator 2, the stator 2 can stably support the two rollers 5. Further, because of the vibration The means 3 causes the stator 2 to vibrate, and the two rollers 5 rotate only around a common one, so that stable operation can be performed, and the rotation of the roller 5 can be controlled with high precision. Therefore, by using a plurality of the vibration actuators In the second embodiment, a vibration actuator according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 8. The second embodiment is a vibration according to the first embodiment. In the actuator, on the two sides of the two rollers 5, the two rollers 5 are arranged to be symmetrical with each other with respect to the plate-like portion 13. That is, four rollers 5 having the same size and shape are connected to each other via the connecting pin 6. The connecting portion is connected and pulled by the plate portion 13 of the rod 12 and the pin 6. The roller 5 is brought into press contact with the stator 2. The plate portion 13 of the rod 12 is located at 4 in the extending direction of the roller 5. The center of the roller 5. In addition, here, omitted in the middle The outer end -12-200843318 of the two rollers 5 of the part is illustrated as a front end member 7 fixed by the circumference. Since the cylindrical four rollers 5 are connected by the joint pin 6, and the vibration is used 3 Further, since the rod 1 2 inside the base support member 1 pulls the joint pin 6 and presses the roller 5 against the stator 2, it is possible to realize a small-sized vibration that can be easily produced with a simple structure as in the first embodiment described above. Further, in the second embodiment, each of the four rollers 5 is brought into pressure contact with the stator 2, and the four rollers 5 are rotationally driven by the vibration of the stator 2, and the front end member 7 is tilted. Therefore, high torque is achieved and the wear of the contact portions of the rollers 5 and the stator 2 is reduced. Further, since the four rollers 5 are not only arranged to be symmetrical with respect to the plate-like portions 13 of the rods 12, but also have the same size and shape as each other, Therefore, it is possible to perform stable rotation. Further, an even number of rollers 5 may be provided on both sides of the four rollers 5 so as to be symmetrical with respect to the plate-like portion 1 3. In the third embodiment, reference is made to FIG. Illustrating the first aspect of the present invention In the third embodiment, in the second embodiment, the two rollers 5 having the same size are provided on both sides of the two rollers 5 located at the intermediate portion. In order to arrange the two rollers 4 1 each having a smaller diameter than the roller 5, the plate-like portions 13 are symmetrical to each other. On the side opposite to the surface in contact with the vibration means 3 of the stator 2, along the joint pin 6 The extending direction forms a contact portion 42 having a sectional shape corresponding to the step of the four rollers 5 and 4 1. By pulling the connecting pin 6 with the rod 12, the rollers 5-13-200843318 and the roller 4 1 are paired. The stator 2 is press-contacted. Even in such a configuration, the same effects as those of the second embodiment described above can be obtained. Further, in the third embodiment, since the two rollers 41 each having a smaller diameter than the roller 5 are disposed on both sides of the two rollers 5, the vibration actuator can be made smaller. Further, conversely, two rollers 41 having a small diameter may be disposed in the intermediate portion, and the roller 5 may be disposed on both sides thereof. Also, on the two sides of the four rollers 5 and 41, an even number of rollers may be arranged to be symmetrical with respect to the plate-like portion 13 . At this time, the newly added roller may have the same diameter as the rollers 5 and 4 1, or may have a diameter different from that of the rollers 5 and 4 1 . In either case, on the side opposite to the surface in contact with the vibration means 3 of the stator 2, contact portions having cross-sectional shapes corresponding to the rollers are formed along the extending direction of the coupling pin 6, and the roller-to-stator 2 is provided. Pressurized contact is preferred. Further, in the first to third embodiments described above, the case where an even number of rollers are provided is not limited thereto, and three or more odd-numbered rollers may be provided. For example, as shown in Fig. 10, the three rollers 5 can be connected and used by the connecting pin 6. In this case, the stator 2 is formed with two through holes 9 along the axial direction thereof, and one end portion of the rod 12 branched into two is inserted into the through hole 9 and joined by the plate portion 13 and the connecting pin 6. Thereby, the connecting pin 6 is pulled by the rod 12, and the three rollers 5 can be brought into press contact with the stator 2. According to the fourth embodiment, in the first embodiment described above, instead of the two cylindrical rollers 14-200843318 wheels 5', as shown in Fig. 1, two rollers 5 having a truncated cone shape are used instead. 1. The large diameter portions 5 2 of the two rollers 5 1 are disposed to face each other. On the surface opposite to the surface in contact with the vibration means 3 of the stator 2, a contact portion 53 having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the two rollers 5 1 is formed along the extending direction of the coupling pin 6, and the respective rollers 5 1 are paired. The stator 2 is in pressure contact. Further, the front end member, which is not shown, is fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the two rollers 51. Even in such a configuration, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, as shown in Fig. 12, the large diameter portions 5 2 of the two rollers 51 may be arranged to face each other in opposite directions. Further, the outer circumferential surface of each of the rollers 51 that abuts on the stator 2 in FIGS. 11 and 12 may be formed as a notch that is curved toward the central axis or curved in the opposite direction toward the central axis. The ground is bulging. Further, as the respective rollers of the second and third embodiments described above, the truncated conical roller 5 1 can be used. Fifth embodiment

The plane of the two rollers 6 1 The portions 62 are arranged to face each other. On the surface opposite to the surface in contact with the vibration means 3 of the stator 2, a contact portion 63 having a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the two rollers 61 is formed along the extending direction of the coupling pin 6, and the respective rollers 6 1 are paired. The stator 2 is in pressure contact. Further, the front end member is fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the two rollers 61 by not shown. Even in such a configuration, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, as shown in Fig. 14, the flat portions 6 2 of the two rollers 61 may be arranged to face each other in the opposite direction. Further, as the rollers of the second and third embodiments described above, the hemispherical roller 61 can also be used. In the sixth embodiment, in the first to fifth embodiments described above, the rectangular plate-like portion 13 is provided at one end of the rod 1 2, but the abutting surface of the plate-like portion 13 may be abutted. The portions of 1 6 and 17 are notched, and for example, as shown in Fig. 15, oblique abutting faces 7 1 and 7 2 are formed. In this case, by the one of the front end members, the projections abut against the corresponding abutting faces 7 1 and 7 2 , and the rotation of the roller is limited to a predetermined angular range larger than 90 °. That is, by selecting the protruding height of the protruding portion and the angle of the abutting surface, the angular range in which the rotation of the roller is restricted can be changed. Further, instead of being provided on the front end member, the protruding portion may be provided instead of the roller adjacent to the plate portion 13. Further, the protruding portion may be provided in the plate portion 13 and the abutting surface may be provided to the front end member or the roller. Further, it is not limited to a combination of the protruding portion and the abutting surface, and various first restricting portions and second restricting portions can be provided, and by engaging with each other, the rotation of the roller can be restricted. For example, the combination of the protrusion portion and the protrusion portion or the contact surface and the contact surface may be used as the first restriction portion and the second restriction portion. Seventh Embodiment Next, a vibration actuator according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 16. In the seventh embodiment, the vibration-inducing -16-200843318 actuator of the first embodiment is connected to and pulled by the wire member 81 and the connecting pin 6 instead of the rod 12. The wire member 8 1 is inserted into the center axis direction of the stator 2, the vibration means 3, and the base supporting member 1, that is, in the Z-axis direction. One end of the wire member 81 is connected to the connecting pin 6 in the extending direction of the connecting pin 6, that is, in the central portion of the two rollers 5 in the X-axis direction. The other end portion of the wire member 8 1 is fixed to the spring seat member 1 8 in the recess portion of the body portion 10 of the base support member 1 and is biased toward the stator via the spring seat member 18 and the wire member 81 by the spring force of the spring 19. 2 The connecting pin 6 is pulled, thereby bringing the roller 5 into pressure contact with the stator 2. Further, a front end member 82 having a substantially flat bottom surface is fixed to the outer periphery of the two rollers 5. Since the cylindrical pin 2 is joined by the joint pin 6, and the joint pin 6 is pulled by the wire 81 passing through the stator 2, the vibration means 3, and the inside of the base support member 1, the roller 5 is pressed against the stator 2. Since it is in contact with the above-described first embodiment, it is possible to realize a vibration actuator which is small and easy to manufacture with a simple structure. Since the wire member 8 1 pulls the joint pin 6 at the center portion of the two rollers 5, the two rollers 5 can be brought into pressure contact with the stator 2 with a uniform force. Further, the spring having the different magnitude of the projectile thrust is disposed between the bottom surface 20 of the recessed portion of the main body portion i and the spring seat member 18, or the wire 81 from the joint pin 6 to the spring seat member 18 is adjusted. The length can easily adjust the magnitude of the pressing force of the two rollers 5 on the stator 2. Further, in the second to fifth embodiments, instead of the rod 1 2, the wire rod 8 1 and the joint pin 6 may be connected and pulled, and the roller may be pressed against the stator 2 . In addition, in the above-described first to seventh embodiments, the rod 1 2 and the wire rod 8 1 are each pulled by the spring thrust of the spring 19, but instead of the spring 1 9 ', the air pressure or the oil pressure may be used instead. The traction device is coupled to the rod 12 and the other end of the wire 8 1 and draws the rod 12 and the wire 8 1 . In the traction device using air pressure or oil pressure, the force of the drawbar 12 and the wire 81 can be easily controlled, and therefore, the amount of pressure applied to the stator 2 by the two rollers 5 can be easily adjusted. For example, when the vibration means 3 is not driven, if the traction means is controlled in such a manner that the traction force of the rod 1 2 and the wire 8 1 fs becomes larger than that of the vibration means 3, the roller 5 and the stator 2 at rest can be made. The holding torque between them increases. Eighth Embodiment Next, a vibration actuator according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 17. In the eighth embodiment of the present invention, in the vibration actuator of the first embodiment, instead of the rod 12, the connecting pin 6 is pulled by the wire 91 made of elastic rubber, resin, spring, or the like. of. The wire 91 & the bud through stator 2, the vibrating means 3, and the inside of the base supporting member 1, and one end of the wire 91 is located at the central portion of the two rollers 5, and is coupled to the connecting pin 6. Further, the fixing member 92 is fixed in the concave portion of the body portion 1 〇 of the base supporting member 1, and the other end portion of the wire member 9 1 is fixed to the fixing member 92. The wire 9 1 is attached in a state of being stretched to a predetermined tension, and the connecting pin 6 is pulled toward the stator 2 by the tension of the wire 91, and the roller 5 is brought into pressure contact with the stator 2. According to this configuration, as in the first embodiment, a vibration-induced -18-200843318 actuator can be realized, which is small in size, simple in construction, and easy to manufacture, and can make the respective rollers 5 have uniform force on the stator 2. Pressurize the contact. Further, by adjusting the degree of elongation of the wire member 91, the magnitude of the tension of the wire member 91 can be changed, and the magnitude of the pressing force applied to the two rollers 5 of the stator 2 can be easily adjusted. Further, in the second to fifth embodiments described above, the wire rod 9 1 and the joint pin 6 are connected and pulled in place of the rod 12, and the roller can pressurize the stator 2. Further, in the first to eighth embodiments described above, the roller can be rotated one or more times by omitting the distal end member. Further, although the other end of the rod 1 2 and the wires 8 1 and 9 1 is located in the concave portion of the body portion 10 of the base supporting member 1, it may be located in the through hole 9 of the stator 2. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the drive circuit 8 does not measure the voltage of the vibration means 3, but by measuring the current, the vibration frequency, the phase, and the like of the vibration means 3, the stress acting on the vibration means 3 can be monitored. In this case, if the rotation of the roller is restricted to a predetermined angular range, the drive circuit 8 can detect the end of the roller up to a predetermined angular range in accordance with the change in the stress of the vibration means 3. Further, the detecting means for detecting the stress acting on the vibrating means 3 and detecting that the roller reaches the end of the predetermined angular range in response to the change in the stress may be provided not separately from the driving circuit 8, but separately from the driving circuit 8. . Further, although the phase of the parent current voltage applied from the drive circuit 8 to each piezoelectric element portion is shifted by 90 degrees, it may be changed, and is not limited to 9 0 -19 - 200843318 degrees. Also, the voltage 値 of the applied AC voltage can be changed. The elliptical vibration generated in the stator 2 can be controlled by controlling the AC voltage in various ways. Further, it is also possible to generate a composite vibration composed of a plurality of kinds of vibrations which are not orthogonal to each other, and to rotate a plurality of rollers around a common one. Further, instead of synthesizing the two kinds of vibrations generated by the different piezoelectric element portions to generate the composite vibration, one piezoelectric element portion may be polarized into a plurality of pieces, and the applied to each of the polarized electrodes may be individually controlled. Voltage. In other words, it is also possible to apply a current which combines AC voltages having different phases and amplitudes to each of the polarized electrodes, and to generate a composite vibration by a single piezoelectric element portion. Further, in each of the above embodiments, the stator 2 is provided. The contact portion with the roller produces an elliptical motion, but the circular motion can also be generated by controlling the amplitude of each axial direction. Moreover, the vibration actuator can be applied not only to the fingers of the robot arm, such as the foot of the robot that can be self-propelled. It is generally applicable to each part of the joint. In other words, the roller of the vibration actuator can be used as a joint.
