Abstract

A clamping device (1) has a flexible sleeve (4) formed with a leading-end portion (4c). The leading-end portion (4c) has the equilateral tetragonal cross section and is deformed to a shape approximate to a circle by a rotating shaft (2) fitted thereinto, whereby a clamping force is applied to the rotating shaft (2). An annular part (6) surrounding the leading-end portion (4c) of the sleeve (4) is configured so that four arc-shaped coupling pieces (12) and four layered piezoelectric elements (11) are alternately coupled. When each layered piezoelectric element (11) is expanded, the diameter of the annular part (6) is enlarged, and the leading-end portion (4c) coupled to the respective coupling pieces (12) is pulled outward, deformed to become a circle, and is released from the circular outer circumference (2a) of the rotating shaft (2). Whereby the clamping device is shifted to an unclamping state in which the clamping force is released. It is therefore possible to realize a small and compact clamping device in which layered piezoelectric elements are used to deform the flexible sleeve radially to release the clamping force acting on the rotating shaft.

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a clamping device that can eliminate a clamping force or a braking force acting on a rotating shaft of a motor output shaft or the like by using a laminated piezoelectric element. It is known that a clamping device or a brake device that applies a clamping force or a braking force to a rotating shaft of an output shaft of a motor or the like has a non-exciting type magnetic toughness or the like that utilizes a magnetic absorbing force of an electromagnet. Further, Patent Document 1 proposes to apply a clamping force or a braking force to a braking device of a rotating shaft by using the expansion/contraction of the laminated piezoelectric element instead of the magnetic attraction force. In the brake device disclosed in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 16 , the tough mass of the inner drum pushed to the inner circumferential surface of the outer drum is a stretched laminate type. The piezoelectric element is separated from the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical member by the deformation of the inner drum, and is pulled inward, whereby the braking force is opened. [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2004-60746 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a laminated piezoelectric element from the outside of a rotating shaft, and to apply and release a clamping force or the like on the rotating shaft. Powerful small and compact clamping device. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a clamping device that uses a laminated piezoelectric element to release a clamping force acting on a rotating shaft by a flexible cylindrical portion that is warped in a radial direction. In the power-clamping device, the flexible tubular portion is formed with a mounting flange that expands outward in the radial direction at the rear end in the axial direction, and the distal end side portion in the axial direction is broken. The surface shape is a polygonal shape, and the annular portion is disposed so as to surround the distal end side portion of the tubular portion, and the annular portion is enlarged and reduced in accordance with the expansion and contraction diameter of the laminated piezoelectric element. The laminated piezoelectric element is assembled to the annular portion. Between the annular portion and the distal end portion of the tubular portion, at least two locations in the circumferential direction are connected by The annular portion extending outwardly of the laminated piezoelectric element and extending outwardly pulls the distal end side portion of the tubular portion outward so that the cross-sectional shape of the distal end side portion is deformed from a polygonal shape to a true circle or Close Rounded shape, the inner circumferential surface of the distal end side portion of the circumference of the cylindrical portion, a circumference of the circular outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft than the Ο much longer. In the clamp device of the present invention, the front end side portion of the polygonal cross section of the tubular portion is fixed to the outer circumference of the rotary shaft. That is, the rotating shaft is disposed in a state of penetrating the cylindrical portion, and the front end side portion of the polygonal cross section is warped to be approximately circular by the rotation axis of the circular cross section. As a result, the elastic restoring force of the front end side portion of the tubular portion forms a state in which the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft acts as a clamping force or a motive force. In this state, when a voltage is applied to the laminated piezoelectric element to stretch the laminated piezoelectric element, the annular portion expands and is coupled to the front end side portion of the annular-5-200936908 portion. The portion is also pulled toward the outside, and the front end side portion is deformed into a true circle or a shape close to a true circle. The circumference of the inner peripheral surface of the front end side portion is longer than the circumference of the circular outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft, and thus the front end side is formed when the front end side portion is deformed into a true circle or a state close to a true circle. The mechanically engaged state of the portion and the rotating shaft is substantially released, and the clamping force or the braking force applied to the rotating shaft is released. As a result, the rotation axis is switched to a state in which it is rotatable. When the voltage application to the laminated piezoelectric element is released, the pulling force at which the annular portion is smaller than the inner side and the distal end portion of the tubular portion is pulled outward is released. As a result, the elastic restoring force of the front end side portion of the tubular portion to be restored to the polygonal cross section is restored to the clamped state or the braked state that acts on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating member. Here, the cross-sectional shape of the distal end side portion of the tubular portion is a regular polygonal shape, and it is preferable to uniformly apply a clamping force or a motive force to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft from the outside. In this case, the annular portion is such that the number of the number of the angles of the regular polygonal shape is connected to the connecting piece in the circumferential direction, and is set to each laminated type. The direction in which the electric component expands and contracts is preferably the circumferential direction of the annular portion. Further, each of the connecting pieces may be connected to a portion between the corners of the regular polygonal shape of the distal end side portion of the tubular portion. Further, the inner cylinder having a circular cross section may be fitted inside the front end side portion of the tubular portion in a state of being warped into a polygonal cross section, and the rotation shaft may be inserted through the inner side. In this case, the circumferential length of the inner circumferential surface of the inner cylinder may be longer than the circumferential length of the circular outer circumferential surface of the rotating shaft. In the clamp device of the present invention, the rotary shaft is inserted through the front end side portion of the cylindrical portion of the polygonal cross section through the pre-form -6 - 200936908, or the rotary shaft is inserted through the tubular portion. The inner cylinder on the inner side of the front end side portion forcibly warps the front end side portion to be circularly outward in the radial direction, whereby a clamping force or a braking force with respect to the rotating shaft occurs. Further, when the laminated piezoelectric element is stretched, the annular portion disposed in the state surrounding the distal end side portion is expanded outward so that the distal end side portion is pulled outward, and the clamping force for the rotating shaft or The braking force is opened or reduced. φ In the clamp device of the present invention, the tubular portion (or the tubular portion and the inner cylinder) that is fitted into the rotating shaft, and the annular portion that is assembled by the laminated piezoelectric element that is disposed around the tubular portion It can be placed only on the outer circumference side of the rotary shaft. Further, the annular portion may be disposed in a portion for fixing the tubular portion to the outer diameter of the mounting flange on the side of the fixing member. Therefore, the space occupied by the radial direction of the rotating shaft may be small. Therefore, a small and compact clamping device can be realized. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a clamp device to which the present invention is applied will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the main part of the clamp device of the embodiment, showing the clamped state. Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view showing a schematic view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the same. Referring to the drawings, the clamp device 1 is a metal-shaped brake ring 3 having a large-hole cap shape that is fixed to the circular outer peripheral surface 2a of the rotary shaft 2 to be clamped. The brake ring 3 includes a tubular portion 4 that is warped in the radial direction, and a disk-shaped mounting flange portion 5' that extends outward from the rear end opening edge 4a of the tubular portion 4 in the radial direction of the semi-200936908. The annular portion 6 in a state in which the outer periphery of the front end opening edge 4b side of the tubular portion 4 is formed. Here, Fig. 5 is a schematic plan view showing the guard ring 3 before being attached to the rotary shaft 2. As shown in the figure, the tubular portion 4 is a rear end opening edge 4a side which is regarded as a circular cross section, and the front end side portion 4 (: is regarded as a square cross section as a whole, and in each of the four The corner portion 4d has an arc shape. Further, a portion from the rear end opening edge 4a of the circular cross section of the tubular portion 4 to the front end side portion 4c of the regular square cross section is a cross-sectional shape that gradually moves from the circular shape. The circumference of the tubular portion 4 is set to be slightly longer than the circumference of the circular outer peripheral surface 2 a of the rotating shaft 2. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2, the rotating shaft 2 is In the state of being embedded in the tubular portion 4, the distal end side portion 4c of the tubular portion 4 is elastically deformed to a state close to a true circle by the circular outer peripheral surface 2a of the rotary shaft 2, and at the four corner portions of the distal end side portion 4c. In the state in which the gap is slightly left, the front end side portion 4c is pushed toward the circular outer peripheral surface 2a of the rotary shaft 2. As a result, the rotary shaft 2 is formed with the predetermined clamping force or the system by the front end side portion 4c. After the clamping state of the power ©, the mounting flange portion 5' of the rear end opening 'edge 4a of the cylindrical portion 4 of the shape is continuous along the outer The rim portion is formed with a screw hole 5a at an angular interval. As shown in Fig. 3, the mounting flange portion 5 is a member 8 fixed to the fixed side by a fixing screw 7. The annular portion 6 is configured The front end side portion 4c of the regular square cross section of the tubular portion 4 is coaxially arranged. The annular portion 6 is provided with four laminated piezoelectric elements 11 having an elongated rectangular parallelepiped shape, and sandwiching the four laminated layers The piezoelectric element -8-200936908 11 is connected to four metal connecting pieces 12 in the circumferential direction. Each of the connecting pieces 12 has the same shape, and has a circular arc portion 12a bent to a certain thickness of about 90 degrees. And an arm portion 12b extending from the center of the inner peripheral surface of the circular arc portion 12a toward the center of the circular arc. The front end (inner end) of the arm portion 12b is connected or joined to the four corner portions of the front end portion 4c of the tubular portion 4. Here, the laminated piezoelectric element 11 is expanded and contracted toward the circumferential direction of the annular portion 6. When a voltage is applied to each of the laminated piezoelectric elements 11, the laminated piezoelectric elements 1 1 are stretched. So that the annular portion 6 as a whole expands outward, that is, sandwiches each layer type Since the electric component 11 is connected to each of the connecting pieces 12, when the laminated piezoelectric element 11 is stretched, only the total component corresponding to the amount of stretching expands the diameter of the annular portion 6. Fig. 4 is a view showing application of a voltage. In a state where the laminated piezoelectric element U is stretched, when the laminated piezoelectric element 1 1 is stretched, the annular portion 6 is expanded outward as a whole, and the respective connecting pieces 1 2 of the constituent parts face the radius G As a result, the outer side of the direction slightly moves. As a result, the portion between the corner portions 4d of the square front end side portion 4c of the tubular portion 4 that is connected or integrated with each of the connecting pieces 12 is pulled outward and elastically deformed. Thereby, the front end side portion 4c of the square shape is warped as a whole in a state of approximately true circle. The circumferential length of the inner peripheral surface of the distal end side portion 4c is slightly larger than the circumferential length of the circular outer peripheral surface 2a of the rotary shaft 2. Therefore, the mechanical engagement between the front end side portion 4 that is warped into a circle (the circular outer peripheral surface 2a of the rotary shaft 2) is substantially released, so that the front end side portion 4c acts on the clamp of the rotary shaft 2 In the clamping device, in the state in which the voltage is not applied to each of the laminated piezoelectric elements 11, the rotation shaft 2 is warped in the clamping device. The front end side portion 4c of the tubular portion 4 is in a clamped state in which a clamping force or a braking force acts on the rotary shaft 2. When a voltage is applied to each of the laminated piezoelectric elements 11, and the extension is performed, the ring is annular. The portion 6 is expanded as a whole, so that the front end side portion 4c' joined thereto is pulled outward to be elastically deformed into a substantially true circle. As a result, the mechanical engagement between the front end side portion 4c and the rotary shaft 2 is When it is released, it is switched to the clamping force acting on the rotating shaft 2 or the braking force is released. @ (Other embodiment) In the above example, the front end side portion 4c of the tubular portion 4 is formed into a square shape, Of course, it can also be made into a positive square with a square, a square, etc. In this case, when the annular portion 6 is formed by sandwiching the laminated piezoelectric element 11 corresponding to the number of corners, the front end of the regular polygon can be formed when the laminated piezoelectric element is to be stretched. The side portion 4c is easily deformed into a true circle. Further, instead of directly contacting the front end side portion 4c of the tubular portion 4 of the brake ring 3 to the circular outer peripheral surface 2a of the rotary shaft 2, the circular cross section can be The flexible inner cylinder is fitted inside the front end side portion 4c, and the inner cylinder may be abutted against the rotating shaft 2.
