Description
DUAL LOAD PATH BALL SCREW WITH THRUST BEARING GOVERNMENT RIGHTS
The invention described herein was made in the performance of
work under NASA Contract No. NCC8-115 and is subject to the provisions
of Section 305 of the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958
(42 U.S.C. 2457).
REFERENCE TO COPENDING APPLICATION
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent Application
Serial No. 09/312, 455, filed May 17, 1999.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to actuator systems having dual drive path
ball screws and more particularly to a thrust bearing for use in such
systems.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
There are many components of an aircraft that are positioned by
operation of a ball screw actuator. In such an actuator, there is relative
rotation between a ball screw and a ball screw nut to achieve linear
translation of the ball screw nut. One of the actuator elements is fixed and
the other actuator element is connected to a flight control surface.
Because of use of a dual drive ball screw actuator in controlling critical
surfaces for aircraft flight, it is common to construct the ball screw of inner
and outer tubular members which are interconnected at their ends. The
inner tubular member provides a primary drive path for the ball screw and
the outer tubular member provides a secondary drive path to be used in
the event of a failure in the primary drive path. This structure is known as
a dual drive actuator.
In the primary drive path, the inner tubular member is rotated. The
inner tubular member has a helical ball groove which is associated with
the ball screw nut by means of balls positioned in a portion of the helical
groove so that rotation of the inner tubular member will cause the linear
translation of the ball screw nut. The ball screw nut, in turn, is connected
to an output tube which is connected to a rod end by a rod end swivel.
The rod end is connected to the flight control surface to be actuated. So
as ball screw translates linearly so does the output tube, rod end swivel
and the rod end which then moves the flight control surface. In the
secondary drive path, the ball screw nut is rotated while locking the
primary screw, which in turn rotates and linearly translates the output tube.
Because the inner tubular member is either rotating or stationary
depending on the mode of operation, a thrust bearing must to journal the
tubular member that can transfer axial thrust loads in both modes of
operation.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide a thrust bearing for
journaling a shaft that alternates between rotating and stationary
operation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a dual drive
path ball screw actuator and system that uses the thrust bearing.
The present invention achieves this object providing a dual drive
path ball screw actuator and system having a ball screw shaft coupled at
one end to a gear train and coupled at the other end to a ball screw nut.
The ball screw shaft and ball screw nut are coupled through
complementary helical grooves filled with ball bearing balls. The outer
surface of the ball screw nut is splined and can be driven by a second
gear train. An output tube is coupled at one end to the ball screw nut and
at its opposite end has a connector portion with a groove on its inner
surface. A rod end has a coupling member for coupling to a surface to be
actuated and a shaft portion with a groove on its outer surface. This shaft
portion is received with in the connector portion and the corresponding
grooves are coupled through the use of a plurality of ball bearings. The
PHX DOCS.1 181585.2
ball screw shaft is journaled to a casing by a thrust bearing having inner
and outer races with complementary annular grooves that are coupled by
ball bearings.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present
invention are specifically set forth in or will become apparent from the
following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention
when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a schematic of an actuator system employing a dual drive
ball screw having a thrust bearing contemplated by the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a cross-section taken of the dual drive ball screw of
FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the thrust bearing of FIG. 1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 shows an actuator system 10 that has a dual drive ball
screw 40 contemplated by the present invention. The operation of the
system 10 is controlled by an electronic control unit 12 which has a
primary controller 14 and a secondary controller 16. When movement of a
control surface to which the ball screw 40 is attached is required, the
primary controller 14 sends a signal to a primary motor 18 which in turn
drives the primary gear train 20. The primary gear train 20 is secured to a
support structure, (not shown) and is also coupled to an inner tubular
member 42 of the dual drive ball screw 40. A linear variable displacement
transducer 22 measures the linear position of the output tube 70 of the
ball screw 40 and sends a signal indicative of such position to the primary
controller 14, thereby closing the control loop. When the required position
of the control surface is reached, the primary controller 14 stops the
movement of the ball screw 40. The combination of primary controller 14,
primary motor 18, primary gear train 20 and ball screw 40 define the
primary drive path.
In the event of a failure in the primary drive a secondary drive is
provided. The secondary drive includes the secondary controller 16 which
controls a secondary motor 24 which in turn drives a secondary gear
train 26. The secondary gear train 26, like its counterpart, is secured to a
support structure, (not shown). The gear train 26 is also coupled to a ball
screw nut 60 of the dual drive ball screw actuator 40. A linear variable
displacement transducer 28 measures the linear position of the output
tube 70 of the ball screw 40 and sends a signal indicative of such position
to the secondary controller 16, thereby closing the control loop. The
secondary drive path operates in the same control manner as the primary
drive path described above. When the primary drive path is operating the
secondary drive path is locked.
Referring to FIG. 2, the inner tubular member 42, which is also
referred to as a bail screw shaft, has at one end a threaded portion 44
which is coupled to and driven by the primary gear train 20. Adjacent the
threaded portion 44 is a smooth portion 46 which extends from the
threaded portion 44 to a first stop member 48. A second stop member 50
is located at the end of the ball screw shaft 42 opposite the end having the
threaded portion. Between stop member 48 and stop member 50, the
surface of the ball screw shaft 42 has a helical ball groove, (not shown in
FIG. 2 for purposes of clarity). The ball screw shaft 42 may be solid or to
reduce weight it may be hollowed out. If hollowed, then a plug 54 is
needed to prevent grease from entering the hollowed portion.
The ball screw nut 60 is also a tubular shaft having on its outer
surface splines for coupling to and being driven by secondary drive train
26. On its inner surface, the ball screw nut has a helical groove, (not
shown). The portion of the ball screw shaft 42 between the stops 48 and
50 is disposed within the ball screw nut 60 so that the helical groove on
the inside surface of the screw nut 60 is connected to the helical groove
on the outside of the ball screw shaft 42 by a plurality of balls 64. Thus the
rotational movement of the ball screw shaft 42 is translated into linear
motion of the ball screw nut 60.
The ball screw nut 60 is coupled by preferably a thread and pin to
one end of the output tube 70. At the opposite end the output tube 70 has
a connector portion 72 having on its inner surface a plurality of annular
grooves 74. A rod end 80 has a coupling member 82 which is attached to
the flight control surface, (not shown), requiring actuation, and a shaft
portion 84. The shaft portion 84 may be hollow, in which case a plug 86 is
used to prevent grease from entering the hollowed portion. The outer
surface of the shaft portion 84 has a plurality of annular grooves 88, which
is the same type as the grooves 74 on the inner surface of the connector
portion 72. The shaft portion 84 is disposed within the connector
portion 72 so that the each of the grooves 74 is connected to one of the
grooves 88 by a plurality of balls 90. The connector portion 72 has three
holes or slots 92, only one of which is shown, that are axially and
circumferentially staggered. Once the shaft portion 82 is inserted in the
connector portion 72, the balls 90 are inserted through these holes 92 until
the grooves 74,88 are filled with ball bearing balls 90 balls. The slots 92
are then plugged. A retaining sleeve 98 covers the connector portion 72
and a seal 96 prevents contaminants from entering these grooves 74,88.
The combination of the rod end 80 and the connector portion 72 is
referred to as a rod end swivel.
The ball screw shaft 42, the ball screw nut 60 and a portion of the
output tube 70 are mounted within a casing. The casing includes a cover
90 bolted to an aft gearbox casing 92 which is bolted to a center gearbox
casing 94. The center gearbox casing, in turn, is also bolted to a forward
gearbox casing 96. Coupled to the forward gearbox casing 96 on a side
opposite from the center gearbox casing 94 is a fixed rod end 98. The
fixed rod end 98 has a coupling member 97 which is coupled or bolted to a
structure, not shown, on the aircraft.
The ball screw shaft 42 is journaled to the fixed rod end 98 and
forward gearbox casing 96 by a thrust bearing 100. Referring to FIGs. 3-
6, the thrust bearing 100 has an annular inner race 102 that defines a
bore 104 through which is mounted the smooth portion 46 of the ball
screw shaft 42 and an annular outer race 1 10 which is mounted within the
a portion of the forward gearbox casing 96 and hollow casing portion 99.
The outer surface of the inner race 102 has a plurality of annular
grooves 106 and the inner surface of the outer race 1 10 also has a
plurality of grooves 1 12. The two sets of grooves 106, 1 12 align so that
the each of the grooves 106 is connected to one of the grooves 1 12 by a
plurality of ball bearing balls 1 14. The outer race 1 10 has three holes or
slots 120, only two of which are shown in FIG. 3. The slots 120 are axially
and circumferentially staggered. The balls 1 14 are inserted through these
slots or holes 1 14 until all the grooves 106, 1 12 are filled with the balls.
The slots 120 are then plugged by plug 1 18. In the preferred embodiment,
each set of grooves 106, 1 12 has nine grooves and there are three slots
120. Each of slots 120 used to fill three of the grooves. The outer race 110
also has a slot 122 for receiving pin, not shown. The pin prevents the
outer race from spinning under a load reverser condition.
During operation of the primary drive, the inner tubular member or
ball screw shaft 42 is rotated causing the ball screw nut 60, output tube
70, and the rod end 80 to translate linearly. The thrust bearing 100 allows
the shaft 42 to rotate while transmitting the axial thrust generated to the
fixed rod end 98. When the secondary drive is in operation, the ball screw
nut 60 is both rotating and translating linearly as the ball screw shaft 42 is
neither rotating nor moving linearly The output tube 70 is also rotating and
translating linearly Again, the thrust bearing 100 transmits the axial thrust
to the fixed rod end 98
Various modifications and alterations to the above-described
preferred embodiment will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Accordingly, these descriptions of the invention should be considered
exemplary and not as limiting the scope and spirit of the invention as set
forth in the following claims
