  • However, the coil spring in conventional linear actuator is fixed, and the cylindrical annular body rotates with the worm wheel, so that heat is generated by the friction between the coil spring and the cylindrical annular body. In addition, the cylindrical annular body is generally made of plastics, so that the heat would cause the cylindrical annular body melting or the coil spring being worn out rapidly.

  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • In the following detailed description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the disclosure provides a braking device used for a motor of an actuator. The braking device 1 mainly comprises a base 10, an elastic unit 20, a braking mechanism 30 and a stopper 40.
  • The base 10 can be made of plastics, and it mainly comprises a circular sector shaped bottom plate 11 and a hoarding 12 extending upward from the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 11. The middle section of the bottom plate 11 has an axial connected section 13. The axial connected section 13 is a hole 131 set up at the bottom plate 11 and a curve wall 132 extending from the peripheral edge of the hole 131. Also, a placed section 14 is formed at a lateral side of the axial connected section 13, and the placed section 14 is a semi-cylindrical barrel 141 formed between the bottom plate 11 and the hoarding 12. Further, a vertical column 15 extends from the bottom plate 11 and the vertical column 15 is disposed at the front end of the semi-cylindrical barrel 141 and corresponds to a notch of a curve wall 132. In addition, a fixed column 16 is disposed at the side of the semi-cylindrical barrel 141 and the vertical column 15, such that screwed units, such as bolts, can pass through and fix with it.
  • In this embodiment, the elastic unit 20 is a compressive elastic unit, and it mainly comprises a gliding unit 21 and a compressive spring 22. The gliding unit 21 comprises a cylinder 211 and a protrusion 212 extending from the cylinder 211. The cylinder 211 is movably disposed inside the semi-cylindrical barrel 141. The compressive spring 22 is disposed inside the semi-cylindrical barrel 141 and is elastically clamped between the hoarding 12 and the cylinder 211.
  • The braking mechanism 30 is assembled at the axial connected section 13 of the base 10, and it mainly comprises a braking ring 31 and a coil spring 32 tightened to the outer peripheral edge of the braking ring 31. The braking ring 31 can be made of metals or plastics. In this embodiment, the braking ring 31 comprises three curve plates 311. The inner wall of each of the curve plates 311 has an oil storage tank 312 disposing therein, and each of the oil storage tanks 312 corresponds to the axial direction of the curve plates 311. Also, each of the outer walls of the curve plates 311 has a plurality of grooves 313, and each of the plurality of grooves 313 is disposed corresponding to the radial direction of the plurality of curve plates 311. Thus, the coil spring 32 can be fixed with each of the curve plates 311 stably.
  • A first torque arm 321 and a second torque arm 322 extend from the two ends of the coil spring 32. The first torque arm 321 is disposed between the protrusion 212 of the gliding unit 21 and the vertical column 15, and the first torque arm 321 is abutted by the protrusion 212. Under the free status, the angle A between the first torque arm 321 and the second torque arm 322 is between 10° and 50°. Preferably, the angle A is between 20° and 40°. Most preferably, the angle A is 30°. When the angle A is greater than 50° or when the angle A is smaller than 10°, the breaking force is too large or too small so that it cannot be applied.
  • Moreover, a stop lever 323 folds inwardly from the free end of the second torque arm 322. The stop lever 323 passes into the intervals formed between any two adjacent curve plates 311, so as to prevent the curve plates 311 swinging excessively.
  • In this embodiment, the stopper 40 is a fixed stopper 40, and it corresponds to the rotational path of the second torque arm 322 and is fixed to the bottom plate 11 of the base 10.
  • Referring to FIGS. 3-5, the braking device 1 of the disclosure can be used for a motor 7 of an actuator. The motor 7 of the actuator comprises a shaft 71 and has a screw hole 72. For assembling, the braking ring 31 of the braking mechanism 30 is sleeved corresponding to the shaft 71, the end surface of the hoarding 12 attaches the back end surface of the motor 7 of the actuator, and a bolt passes through the fixed column 16 so as to be fixed to the screw hole 72. Thus, the assembling process of the braking device 1 and the motor 7 of the actuator of the disclosure can be easily accomplished.
  • As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when being used, the rotational direction of the shaft 71 is identical to the rotational direction of the coil spring 32, wherein “identical” indicates that when the coil spring 32 is a right-handed coil spring and the shaft 71 rotates counterclockwise, the first torque arm 321 of the coil spring 32 is elastically abutted by the elastic unit 20, so that the coil spring 32 retracts radially and tightens the braking ring 31, and the braking action is generated by the friction between the inner surface of the braking ring 31 and the circumferential surface of the shaft 71. When the coil spring 32 retracts radially, the second torque arm 322 swings with the rotation of the braking ring 31. When the second torque arm 322 rotates to the position of the stopper 40, it has a maximum braking force so that the shaft 71 stops rotating. Thus, when the motor 7 of the actuator is used in a linear actuator (not shown in the figure) and the linear actuator is assembled in an electric bed or an electric chair, the downward movement of the deck or the seat back would become more slowly, so that the user can have more comfortable using experience.
  • In contrast, when the shaft 71 rotates clockwise, the first torque arm 321 of the coil spring 32 attaches the vertical column 15, so that the coil spring 32 expands radially. At this moment, the braking ring 31 is released, so that the friction to the rotation of the shaft 71 is decreased, and the shaft 71 can easily rotate inside the braking ring 31. Thereby, it can transmit without affecting the performance of transmission of the motor 7 of the actuator.
  • Referring to FIG. 8, the braking device 1 a further comprises an adjusting lever 50, the hoarding 12 of the base 10 has a screw hole 121. The adjusting lever 50 screws to the screw hole 121 and then is connected with the stopper 40, so that the stopper 40 can move forwardly or backwardly by screwing-in or screwing-out the adjusting lever 50. Thus, it can be used in motors 7 of the actuator with different braking forces.
  • As shown in FIG. 9, besides the embodiments described above, the braking ring 31′ of the disclosure mainly has a sectional groove 33 at a cylindrical barrel, and the sectional groove 33 is parallel to the axis of the braking ring 31′.
  • According to the above descriptions, the braking device used for a motor of the actuator of the disclosure can achieve the purposes and solve the problems met in conventional technologies. Thus, the disclosure involves novelty and inventiveness as well as meets the requirements of patent application. Thus, the application is applied according to Patent Law. The application is kindly requested to be granted for ensuring the right of the inventors.
