Abstract

In a linear actuator, guide surfaces are defined by slide bearing members which may be essentially made of porous carbon material so that a relatively frictionless rigid bearing surfaces are provided and a favorable and durable guide action can be achieved even when the carriage is subjected to a high and/or uneven load. Also, because the lateral guide is provided by side plates of the carriage interposing a guide plate of the guide frame, and the opening width between the side plates is relatively small as compared to that of the conventional guide frame, a relatively rigid lateral guide action can be ensured. In particular if a support plate such as a table for supporting a load is connected across free ends of the side plates, the side plates are even more rigidly held by the support plate, and an even more rigid lateral guide action can be ensured.

The technical field to which the invention belongs, the prior art, the content, the embodiments, and the solid simple description) [Technical field to which the invention belongs] Field of the invention The present invention relates to a linear actuator Generally, it includes a power actuator, a transport frame body actuated by the actuator, and a linear guide body for guiding the transport frame body along a linear path. This linear actuator has a wide range of applications in industrial machinery, in the form of two- or three-dimensional movable tables and robotic arms, and in the field of automobiles, boats and aircraft. · C Previous 10 Background of the Invention Traditionally, a linear guide for a linear actuator of this type is composed of a recirculating bead-type plain bearing. Sections 8a to 8d show a typical linear plain bearing, which includes-a base portion 1, and-a guide frame body 3 supported by the machine 邛 1 and defining a guide groove 2 having an open top end therein. The guide groove 2 15 accommodates a transport frame 5 in a slidable manner, which is arranged by one of the side walls of the four-row circulating steel frame 6 / σ whai transport wheel frame 5, and a screw 4 is housed in Into corresponding screw holes of the transport frame body 5. The transport frame 5 is provided with a plurality of threaded female holes 7 for attaching an actuated machine or other objects (not shown in the figure). 20 _ Rod 4 is screwed into the corresponding ‘hole through several circulating steel balls (not shown). When the screw 4 is rotated by an electric motor (not shown), the Dinghai transportation frame 5 moves linearly along the guide groove 2, and the linear bearing formed by the four rows of steel rings 6 allows the transportation frame The body 5 moves with very little friction and minimal movement. 6 565663 发明, invention description 5; ,,, and: In recent years, the positional accuracy of the transport frame 5 has become more and more necessary, and the conventional linear bearings of this type are not suitable for some applications. Because the steel balls are used to support the load, and the steel balls contact the opposite surface with points or small contact surfaces, the steel balls and / or the guide frame body are subject to a considerable or average load on the transport frame. 3 Easy to produce elastic deformation and this will lead to increased friction resistance and loss of position accuracy. / 10 When the transport frame 5 is subjected to a considerable upward load, as shown in FIG. 8a, the upper portions of the guide frame 3 will deform and move away from each other, as shown in FIG. 9 and A large part of the load is applied to the steel balls 6 in the upper row ... The transportation frame 5 receives a considerable downward load «, such as the load of the large P knife is applied to the steel balls 6 in the lower row. When the transport frame 5 is subjected to a considerable side load, as shown in Fig. 8c, the steel ball 6 corresponding to the side row is applied with a larger knife load. When the transport frame $ is subjected to a torsional load of -15, as shown in Fig. 8d, a large portion of the load is applied to the steel balls 6 corresponding to the diagonally opposite rows. As shown in these figures, when the transport frame 5 is subjected to an uneven load of g # J, the local parts of the steel balls 6 have most of the loads supported, and this is likely to cause considerable load.的 弹 形 0 [Summary of the Invention] 20 Summary of the Invention Based on the conventional problems, the present invention is essential, that is, to provide one. ㈣Hardness and friction-free linear bearings The second object of the present invention is to improve the durability of the improved linear 7 565663 发明, description of the actuator. The first object of this month is to provide an improved linear actuator which is provided with a device to eliminate the wandering caused by overtime. According to the present invention, a linear actuator is provided to achieve these objectives, which includes a guide frame body including a substrate defining an upper sliding surface, and a guide plate opposite to the substrate. The parallel and spaced relationship extends 'and defines the lower sliding surface and a pair of side sliding surfaces; a transport body is placed on the substrate, and an upper sliding surface is defined opposite to the lower sliding surface of the guide plate' and the lower sliding surface is opposite On the upper sliding surface of the base plate; and-the side plate extends in a laterally spaced relationship from a portion of the transport body to place the guide plate therebetween, and defines a side slide surface sliding relative to the side of the guide plate Surface; at least one pair of opposing sliding surfaces is defined by a sliding bearing member. 15 20 These sliding bearing members, which can be mainly made of porous carbon material, can provide a relatively low friction hard bearing surface, which can achieve a suitable and durable guide even when the transport frame is subjected to high and / or uneven loads.引 效应。 Lead role. And, because the lateral guidance is set by arranging the guide plate between the side plates, and the width of the opening between the side plates is relatively small compared with the conventional guide frame ' This ensures a fairly robust lateral guiding effect. Especially if a support plate for supporting-loading, such as a table, is connected across the free ends of the side plates, the side plates can be held more firmly by the support plate, and it can ensure stronger Lateral guidance. Since the vertical guide is opposed by the substrate and the guide plate at the lateral middle portion of the transport body, and the sliding surfaces of the substrate and the guide plate are mutually opposed at a substantially right angle 8 565663 发明, description of the invention It is set to 'thereby ensuring a solid vertical guidance effect. Generally, this linear actuator is additionally provided with a power actuator for actuating the transport body along the sliding surfaces. Since even if the sliding bearing members are not completely free from wear, the side plates should be adapted to adjust the gap between the side plates and the opposite sliding surface of the guide plate, and the guide plate is adapted to adjust the transportation The gap between the main body and the opposite sliding surface of the guide plate. This adjustment can be achieved by using a groove or other elongated hole as a mounting hole to allow a locking member such as a screw to pass through. Based on minimizing the lateral extent of the linear actuator, each of the sliding plates may be provided with an outward facing surface that is substantially flush with a corresponding side surface of the transport body. Brief description of the drawings details the present invention with reference to the drawings, in which: Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the linear actuator using the present invention; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the linear actuator; Figure 3 is a partial cross-sectional side view of the transport frame; Figure 4 is a schematic sectional front view of the linear actuator; Figures 5a and 5b are similar to Figure 4 and show how to remove the inside of the sliding surfaces Figure 6 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the present invention; Figures 8a to 8d are views showing a conventional linear actuator before being subjected to different types of cross sections View; and 9 565663 发明, description of the invention Fig. 9 is a view showing a possible form of deformation of the guide body of the conventional linear actuator. Front view C Embodiment 3 Detailed description of the preferred embodiment 5 Figs. 1 to 3 It is shown using the linear actuator 10 of this invention. The linear actuator 10 includes a rectangular substrate π, and a pair of end plates 12 and 13 are fixedly attached to the corresponding longitudinal ends of the substrate u in an upright direction. A rectangular guide plate 14 with a relatively large thickness extends between the upper ends of the end plates 12 and 13 so as to be opposite to the substrate U, so that the longitudinal direction of the substrate u and the guide plate 14 extends to the center. The lines are substantially aligned with each other. The base plate u, the end plate 12 and the guide plate 14 are connected to form a guide frame body. A transport frame 15 composed of a rectangular block is provided on the base plate 11 and the guide plate 14 with an upper sliding bearing member 16 and a lower sliding bearing member 17 in a manner that does not substantially cause any movement. between. A pair of side plates 18 15 and I9 are fixedly attached to one side portion of the upper surface of the transport frame body 15, and the guide plate 14 passes through the side sliding bearing members 20 and 21 so that there is substantially no Any way of swimming is provided between the side plates 18 and 19. The sliding bearing members 16 to 21 can be composed of any conventional bearing material including metal shaft 20 bearing material, plastic bearing material and other high hardness bearing materials. Metal bearing materials such as porous metal bearings filled with oil and metal bearings impeded by solid lubricants, plastic bearing materials such as pTFE resin and polyimide resin, other bearing materials such as wood or other porous carbon materials. The porous carbon material particularly suitable for use in the present invention is generally prepared by mixing various materials, such as wood or other plant materials, such as wheat hammer, and sintering the mixture to form a ceramic material. The resulting bearing material is generally called wood type or RB type bearing material, with low friction and resistance. This _ «has been used: 夂 is used 'because of its high durability and its resistance to dust and moisture because it does not require any lubricant. The sliding bearing members 16 to 21 may be attached to the transport frame M or the opposite guide plate 14 with an adhesive or any physical fixing configuration, and attached to the side plates 18 and 19 or the opposite plate. In the above-mentioned example, the substrates U and P are such that 4 and other sliding bearing members 16 to 21 are attached to the transport frame body one-to-one jade, 4 still, and 14 pairs; the surface of the poor j pieces 16 to 21 may be The transport frame 15 defined by soft steel or stainless steel components can be adapted to a spiral mechanism including a screw 23, actuated by a bead-shaped spiral mechanism, the bead-shaped one has a spiral groove defined therein and the screw receives the screw The nut 22 of 23 and a plurality of steel balls 36 are housed in a spiral groove defined by the joint of the screw 23 and the nut 22. The nut 22 is fixedly attached to the transport frame body 15, and the screw 23 is received in a screw hole of the nut 22 and extends into a central hole 35 of the transport frame body 15. The steel balls 36 are circulated in the spiral groove, and a low-friction, no-movement connection is achieved between the screw 23 and the nut 22 in a conventional manner. The screw 23 is rotatably supported by the front plate 12 at a middle end thereof through a bearing member 24 and extends through a central hole of the transport frame 15 in a cantilever manner. Stopper bodies 25 and 26 are attached to the opposite inner sides of the front and rear plates 12 and 13 to limit the travel range of the transport frame body 15. 565663 Chopping, invention description 5 10 " Hellow cup 23 疋 X is actuated by a rotary drive unit 27, the rotary drive unit 27 ^ ai pulley 29 is attached to the output shaft of the electric motor μ, a driven pulley 31 Attached to the corresponding ends of the screw 23, and an endless belt 30 passes around the pulleys 29 131. Therefore, by driving the electric motor 28, the screw 23 彳 is rotated in a desired direction. The deceleration driving sheet 27 is attached to the An 4 plate 32 fixedly attached to the front plate 12 in order. -A protective cover 33 is attached to the mounting plate 32 to cover a moving portion of the rotary driving unit 27. In the through target example, when the screw 23 is rotated by the rotation driving unit 27 and the transport frame 15 is actuated in any longitudinal direction, the guide plate 14 and the upper portion of the guide plate 14 and the transport frame 15 And the substrate connected to the lower surface can prevent

The sliding bearing members 16 to 21 are provided between these mutually facing sliding surfaces. As shown in FIG. 3, the side plates 18 and 19 are fixedly attached to either side end of the upper surface of the transport frame body 15, and are installed by screwing through the corresponding side plates 18 and 19 by a screw 38 The holes 37 are screwed into the corresponding screw holes 39 of the transport frame 15.

Therefore, even when subjected to a considerable load, it can still prevent the local elastic deformation due to its elasticity, and thus can prevent frictional resistance and improve the positioning of the transport frame in the direction of movement and the direction perpendicular to the direction of movement. Accuracy. Also, when the transport frame 15 is subjected to an uneven load as shown in any of Figs. 8a to 8d, 'the applied load is supported by a relatively large surface area, 10 marks', so that it can be appropriately low in any case. Friction resistance and high positioning accuracy. According to tests made by the inventors, it has been shown that the improvement over the conventional linear actuator is particularly significant when the transport frame 15 is subjected to an uneven load that may twist the transport frame. In addition, tests with long-term excessive loads have shown to be superior to conventional linear sliders. 15 When any sliding bearing member is worn and a gap is created between the opposite surfaces, it can be eliminated by loosening the screws 38 of the side plates 18 and 19 and moving the side plates close to each other, so as to eliminate again Eliminate this clearance before tightening the screws. For this purpose, the mounting holes 38 of the side plates 8 and 19 and the mounting holes 40 of the support plate 34 may form a lateral ellipse to fit the adjustment. Alternatively or simultaneously, the mounting holes of the front and rear plates 12 and 13 may be extended in a predetermined direction to match the position adjustment of the guide plate 14. FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, which uses a pneumatic actuator including a cylinder 51 attached to the front plate 12 and a piston rod 52 that extends outside the cylinder 51 And pass through the front plate 12. The job 13 565663, the invention description base is connected to a piston (not shown in the figure) slidingly received in the cylinder 51 at the inner end of the 52, and the free end of the piston rod 52 is connected to the transport frame 15. The cylinder 51 is provided with a pair of ports 53 and 54 for feeding and releasing air to actuate the piston as is known in the art. 5 FIG. 7 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, which uses a linear motor actuator 'including a stator 61 which extends on the upper surface of the substrate u to provide a required magnetic field. The bottom surface of the transport frame 15 is provided with a permanent magnetic member (not shown in the figure), which is suitable to cooperate with the magnetic field generated by the stator 61 or a copper plate (not shown in the figure) to correspond to the stator 61.
