Description

소형 리니어 서보 액츄에이터Compact Linear Servo Actuator
본 발명은 소형 리니어 서보 액츄에이터에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는, 본 발명은 외부하우징 내부에 모터의 구동에 의해 직선운동하는 로드부를 제어하는 제어보드와 상기 로드부의 이동거리를 감지하기 위한 포텐셔미터를 일체형으로 내장하고, 상대적으로 직교하는 두개의 축에 대한 왕복 회전운동을 구현하여 2자유도를 갖는 회전조인트부를 구성하기 위하여 단순한 구조를 갖는 조인트본체로 형성하여 생체모방형 로봇의 내골격 구조에 적합한 소형화를 만족시킬 수 있으며 기계적 구성이 간단하여 제어가 용이한 소형 리니어 서보 액츄에이터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a small linear servo actuator, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a control board for controlling a rod part that linearly moves by driving a motor inside an external housing and a potentiometer for sensing a moving distance of the rod part. In order to construct a swivel joint with two degrees of freedom by implementing a reciprocating rotational movement about two axes which are relatively orthogonal, it is formed of a joint body having a simple structure to satisfy the miniaturization suitable for the endoskeletal structure of a biomimetic robot. The present invention relates to a small linear servo actuator which can be easily controlled and has a simple mechanical configuration.
로터리 형태의 구동장치를 사용하던 산업용 로봇관련 기술에 대하여 최근 들어 인간,곤충,및 동물의 골격구조를 모방하는 생체모방형 로봇을 제작하고자 하는 시도가 다양하게 이루어지고 있다.Recently, various attempts have been made to produce biomimetic robots that mimic the skeleton structures of humans, insects, and animals with respect to industrial robot-related technologies that used rotary type driving devices.
그 결과 각국의 연구소 및 대학에서는 생체 모방형 로봇을 개발하여 산업현장에 사용할 수 있는 논문을 발표하고 있으며, 특히, 인간의 내골격 구조로 구성되는 휴머노이드 로봇을 포함하여 장애인이나 노약자 및 재활을 위한 다양한 보조장치들도 계속해서 출시되고 있다.As a result, various research institutes and universities publish biomimetic robots that can be used in industrial sites.In particular, various aids for the disabled, the elderly, and the rehabilitation include humanoid robots composed of human endoskeletal structures. Devices continue to be released.
상기 휴머노이드 로봇이나 보조장치는 대부분 종래의 로터리 구동장치가 아닌 리니어 구동장치를 사용하여 생체 모방형 구조를 갖는 기술을 구현하고 있다.Most of the humanoid robots or auxiliary devices implement a technology having a biomimetic structure using a linear driving device rather than a conventional rotary driving device.
여기서, 상기 리니어 구동장치는 일반적으로 공장자동화의 트랜스퍼, 이송공급장치 및 조립, 반송라인 분야, 산업용 직교좌표형 로봇, 운반기계 및 리프트장치, CNC 공작기계의 자동도어 및 이송장치, 산업용 자동도어분야, 포장, 용접, 도장기계의 직선운동장치 등과 같은 각종 산업용 기계장치에서 대상물을 직선 운동시키는 리니어 액츄에이터(LINEAR ABTUATOR)를 가리킨다.Here, the linear drive device is generally used for the transfer of the factory automation, the transfer supply device and the assembly, the conveying line field, the industrial Cartesian robot, the conveying machine and the lift device, the automatic door and the conveying device of the CNC machine tool, the industrial automatic door field. It refers to a linear actuator that linearly moves an object in various industrial machinery such as packaging, welding, and linear motion devices of a painting machine.
이러한 리니어 액츄에이터 기술이 구현된 로봇의 경우에 일반적으로 그 크기 및 중량이 최적화 되어 있기 때문에 로봇을 구동시키기 위한 리니어 액츄에이터를 설치하기 위한 내부 공간이 매우 협소한 구조를 갖는다.In the case of a robot in which the linear actuator technology is implemented, since its size and weight are generally optimized, the internal space for installing the linear actuator for driving the robot has a very narrow structure.
그러나, 종래의 리니어 액츄에이터의 경우에는 통상적으로 구동모터의 회전축과 상기 회전축의 회전에 따라 직선운동하는 이동체가 단일의 축으로 이웃하여 결합되기 때문에 리니어 액츄에이터를 형성하는 외부하우징을 소형화하는데 어려움이 있으며, 또한, 리니어 액츄에이터를 제어하기 위한 제어보드가 외부하우징의 외부에 배치되고 내부에는 제어 및 전원공급을 위한 연결케이블만 인입되기 때문에 리니어 액츄에이터의 기계적 구성이 복잡하고 전체 크기를 줄이는데 한계가 있는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the case of the conventional linear actuator, it is difficult to miniaturize the external housing forming the linear actuator because the rotation axis of the drive motor and the movable body linearly moving in accordance with the rotation of the rotation shaft are coupled to each other in a single axis. In addition, since the control board for controlling the linear actuator is disposed outside the outer housing and only the connecting cable for the control and power supply is introduced inside, the mechanical configuration of the linear actuator is complicated and there is a limit in reducing the overall size. .
뿐만 아니라, 종래에는 생체 모방형 로봇이 갖는 내골격 구조에 의한 2자유도 회전운동을 구현하기 위하여 상기 리니어 액츄에이터의 외부하우징 후단에 형성되는 회전조인트가 일반적으로 두 개의 축을 이웃하게 나열하여 연결하는 방식을 사용하여 형성되기 때문에 기계적 구성이 복잡하여 제어 효율도 떨어지고 리니어 액츄에이터를 소형화는데 어려움이 있는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, in the related art, a rotary joint formed at the rear end of the outer housing of the linear actuator generally has two shafts arranged adjacently so as to implement a two degree of freedom rotational movement by the endoskeletal structure of the biomimetic robot. Since it is formed by using a complicated mechanical configuration, the control efficiency is also lowered and there is a problem in that the miniaturization of the linear actuator.
따라서, 생체모방형 로봇의 내골격 구조에 적합한 소형화를 만족시킬 수 있으며 기계적 구성이 간단하여 제어가 용이한 소형 리니어 서보 액츄에이터에 관한 현실적이고도 적용이 가능한 기술이 절실히 요구되고 있는 실정이다.Therefore, there is an urgent need for a practical and applicable technology for a small linear servo actuator that can satisfy the miniaturization suitable for the endoskeleton structure of the biomimetic robot and its simple mechanical configuration.
