The locking member 172 may rotate and linearly move in the guide unit 173 by selectively contacting the rotating member 171 of the first rotating body 141 during rotation. The locking member 172 may include a first body portion 172a and a locking protrusion 172b. In this case, the guide part 173 may be inserted into the first body part 172a. In addition, the locking protrusion 172b may protrude from an outer surface of the first body portion 172a and may be provided in plural. In this case, the plurality of locking protrusions 172b may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other along the outer surface of the first body portion 172a. In particular, the plurality of locking projections 172b may be disposed on the outer surface of the first body portion 172a to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval. The plurality of locking protrusions 172b as described above may be disposed in the first body 172a to be sequentially inserted into the holes 171a of the rotating member 171 when the rotating member 171 rotates. That is, each locking protrusion 172b may be inserted into each hole 171a of the rotating member 171 when the rotating member 171 rotates.
가이드부(173)는 제1 회전감지부(142)에 배치될 수 있다. 이때, 가이드부(173)는 제1 회전감지부(142)의 중심으로부터 외부를 향하도록 배열될 수 있다. 가이드부(173)의 외면에는 제1 바디부(172a)가 회전 및 선형 운동하도록 나사산이 형성될 수 있다. 이러한 경우 제1 바디부(172a)의 내면에도 나사산이 형성될 수 있다. The guide part 173 may be disposed in the first rotation detecting part 142. In this case, the guide unit 173 may be arranged to face outward from the center of the first rotation detecting unit 142. Threads may be formed on the outer surface of the guide part 173 so that the first body part 172a rotates and linearly moves. In this case, a screw thread may be formed on the inner surface of the first body portion 172a.
탄성부(174)는 걸림부재(172)가 가이드부(173)를 선형 운동하는 경우 걸림부재(172)에 복원력을 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 경우 탄성부(174)는 걸림부재(172)와 제1 회전감지부(142) 사이에 배치될 수 있다. 특히 탄성부(174)는 내부에 가이드부(173)가 배치되는 코일스프링 형태일 수 있다. 다른 실시예로써 탄성부(174)는 탄성재질로 형성되며, 내부에 가이드부(173)가 삽입되는 원기둥 형태의 부재를 포함하는 것도 가능하다. 다만, 이하에서는 설명의 편의를 위하여 탄성부(174)는 코일스프링을 포함하는 경우를 중심으로 상세히 설명하기로 한다. The elastic part 174 may provide a restoring force to the locking member 172 when the locking member 172 linearly moves the guide 173. In this case, the elastic unit 174 may be disposed between the locking member 172 and the first rotation detecting unit 142. In particular, the elastic portion 174 may be in the form of a coil spring in which the guide portion 173 is disposed. In another embodiment, the elastic part 174 is formed of an elastic material, and may include a cylindrical member in which the guide part 173 is inserted therein. However, hereinafter, the elastic unit 174 will be described in detail with reference to a case including the coil spring for convenience of description.
탄성부(174)는 복수개 구비될 수 있다. 예를 들면, 탄성부(174)는 걸림부재(172)를 중심으로 서로 대향하도록 배치되는 제1 탄성부(174a)와 제2 탄성부(174b)를 포함할 수 있다. 이때, 제1 탄성부(174a)는 걸림부재(172)가 제1 방향으로 이동하는 경우 걸림부재(172)에 복원력을 제공할 수 있다. 제2 탄성부(174b)는 상기 제1 방향과 반대 방향인 제2 방향으로 걸림부재(172)가 이동하는 경우 걸림부재(172)에 복원력을 제공할 수 있다. 또한, 탄성부(174)는 걸림부재(172)의 이동 시나 이동 후 걸림부재(172)에 예압을 가함으로써 진동 등에 따라서 걸림부재(172)가 움직이는 것을 방지할 수 있다. The elastic portion 174 may be provided in plurality. For example, the elastic portion 174 may include a first elastic portion 174a and a second elastic portion 174b which are disposed to face each other with respect to the locking member 172. In this case, the first elastic part 174a may provide a restoring force to the locking member 172 when the locking member 172 moves in the first direction. The second elastic part 174b may provide a restoring force to the locking member 172 when the locking member 172 moves in the second direction opposite to the first direction. In addition, the elastic part 174 may prevent the locking member 172 from moving due to vibration or the like by applying a preload to the locking member 172 during or after the movement of the locking member 172.
센서부(181)는 걸림부재(172)의 위치를 파악할 수 있다. 이때, 센서부(181)는 걸림부재(172)의 위치를 실시간으로 측정하는 것도 가능하고, 걸림부재(172)가 가이드부(173)를 선형 운동할 때, 걸림부재(172)가 움직일 수 있는 변위의 끝단에 걸림부재(172)가 도달하였는지 감지할 수 있다. 예를 들면, 센서부(181)는 걸림부재(172)가 더 이상 선형 운동하지 못하는 위치에 도달하였는지 감지할 수 있다. 이때, 센서부(181)는 다양한 형태일 수 있다. 예를 들면, 센서부(181)는 접촉센서, 초음파 센서, 레이저센서, 광센서, 리니어 스케일 등과 같은 걸림부재(172)의 위치를 파악할 수 있는 다양한 형태의 센서를 포함할 수 있다. The sensor unit 181 may grasp the position of the locking member 172. In this case, the sensor unit 181 may measure the position of the locking member 172 in real time, and when the locking member 172 linearly moves the guide unit 173, the locking member 172 may move. It may be detected whether the locking member 172 has reached the end of the displacement. For example, the sensor unit 181 may detect whether the locking member 172 has reached a position where it can no longer linearly move. In this case, the sensor unit 181 may have various forms. For example, the sensor unit 181 may include various types of sensors capable of detecting the position of the locking member 172 such as a contact sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a laser sensor, an optical sensor, a linear scale, and the like.
알람부(182)는 센서부(181)에서 감지된 결과를 근거로 외부의 사용자에게 빛, 소리 등을 통하여 경고할 수 있다.The alarm unit 182 may warn an external user through light, sound, or the like based on the result detected by the sensor unit 181.
커버(183)는 하우징(111)과 결합할 수 있다. 이때, 커버(183)는 제1 엔코더(140) 측에 배치되어 하우징(111)과 결합함으로써 제1 엔코더(140)를 외부로부터 차폐시킬 수 있다. 또한, 커버(183)에는 스토퍼부(170)의 위치를 확인 가능하도록 투명창(미도시)이 구비될 수 있다. 이때, 상기 투명창은 빛이 투과 가능한 재질로 형성될 수 있다. The cover 183 may be coupled to the housing 111. In this case, the cover 183 may be disposed at the side of the first encoder 140 to be coupled to the housing 111 to shield the first encoder 140 from the outside. In addition, the cover 183 may be provided with a transparent window (not shown) to check the position of the stopper 170. In this case, the transparent window may be formed of a material that can transmit light.
한편, 상기와 같은 동력전달장치(100)의 작동을 살펴보면, 우선 드라이버(151)에 신호가 인가되면 드라이버(151)는 구동부(120)를 작동시킬 수 있다. 이러한 경우 스테이터(122)에 전류가 인가되어 로터(121)가 회전할 수 있다. 또한, 로터(121)의 회전에 따라서 제1 회전축(112)이 회전할 수 있다. Meanwhile, referring to the operation of the power transmission device 100 as described above, when a signal is first applied to the driver 151, the driver 151 may operate the driving unit 120. In this case, current is applied to the stator 122 so that the rotor 121 may rotate. In addition, the first rotation shaft 112 may rotate in accordance with the rotation of the rotor 121.
제1 회전축(112)의 회전은 감속기(131)를 통하여 제2 회전축(132)으로 전달되어 제2 회전축(132)을 회전시킬 수 있다. 또한, 제1 회전축(112)의 회전은 제2 회전체(161)를 회전시킬 수 있으며, 제2 회전감지부(162)는 제2 회전체(161)의 회전을 감지할 수 있다. Rotation of the first rotary shaft 112 may be transmitted to the second rotary shaft 132 through the reducer 131 to rotate the second rotary shaft 132. In addition, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 112 may rotate the second rotating body 161, the second rotation detecting unit 162 may detect the rotation of the second rotating body (161).
상기와 같이 진행되는 동안 제2 회전축(132)의 회전에 따라서 제1 회전체(141)를 회전시킬 수 있다. 이때, 제1 회전감지부(142)는 정지된 상태일 수 있다. As described above, the first rotating body 141 may be rotated according to the rotation of the second rotating shaft 132. In this case, the first rotation detecting unit 142 may be in a stopped state.
제1 회전체(141)가 회전하는 경우 회전부재(171)는 제1 회전체(141)와 함께 회전부재(171)가 회전할 수 있다. 이러한 경우 회전부재(171)는 걸림돌기(172b)와 접촉함으로써 걸림돌기(172b)에 힘을 가할 수 있다. 구체적으로 회전부재(171)가 회전하는 경우 걸림돌기(172b)는 홀(171a)에 삽입되어 리브(171b)에 충돌할 수 있다. 또한, 리브(171b)가 걸림부재(172)의 하면을 통과하는 경우 걸림돌기(172b)가 없는 제1 바디부(172a) 부분이 통과함으로써 걸림부재(172)와 회전부재(171)는 서로 간섭하지 않을 수 있다. When the first rotating body 141 rotates, the rotating member 171 may rotate together with the first rotating body 141. In this case, the rotating member 171 may apply a force to the locking protrusion 172b by contacting the locking protrusion 172b. In detail, when the rotating member 171 rotates, the locking protrusion 172b may be inserted into the hole 171a to collide with the rib 171b. In addition, when the rib 171b passes through the lower surface of the locking member 172, the first body portion 172a without the locking protrusion 172b passes, so that the locking member 172 and the rotating member 171 interfere with each other. You can't.
이러한 경우 걸림돌기(172b)와 리브(171b)가 충돌하면 제1 바디부(172a)는 가이드부(173)를 회전하면서 선형 운동할 수 있다. 예를 들면, 도 3에서 회전부재(171)가 시계방향으로 회전하는 경우 제1 바디부(172a)는 가이드부(173)를 따라 도 3의 오른쪽 방향으로 선형 이동할 수 있다. 반면, 도 3에서 회전부재(171)가 반시계방향으로 회전하는 경우 제1 바디부(172a)는 가이드부(173)를 따라 도 3의 왼쪽 방향으로 선형 운동할 수 있다. 이때, 상기와 같은 운동은 이에 한정되는 것은 아니며 반대로 구현되는 것도 가능하다. In this case, when the protrusion 172b and the rib 171b collide with each other, the first body 172a may linearly move while rotating the guide 173. For example, when the rotating member 171 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 3, the first body part 172a may linearly move in the right direction of FIG. 3 along the guide part 173. On the other hand, when the rotating member 171 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 3, the first body part 172a may linearly move in the left direction of FIG. 3 along the guide part 173. At this time, the above-described exercise is not limited to this, but may be implemented in reverse.
상기와 같이 제1 바디부(172a)가 가이드부(173)를 선형 운동하는 경우 선형 운동하는 방향에 있는 탄성부(174)는 압축될 수 있다. 예를 들면, 제1 바디부(172a)가 도 3의 오른쪽으로 이동하는 경우 제1 탄성부(174a)가 압축될 수 있다. 또한, 제1 바디부(172a)가 도 3의 왼쪽으로 이동하는 제2 탄성부(174b)가 압축될 수 있다. 이러한 경우 반대편에 있는 탄성부(174)는 인장되는 것도 가능하다. 상기와 같이 인장되거나 압축된 탄성부(174)는 제1 바디부(172a)의 선형 운동 시 제1 바디부(172a)에 복원력을 제공할 수 있다. As described above, when the first body portion 172a linearly moves the guide portion 173, the elastic portion 174 in the linear movement direction may be compressed. For example, when the first body portion 172a moves to the right side of FIG. 3, the first elastic portion 174a may be compressed. Also, the second elastic portion 174b in which the first body portion 172a moves to the left side of FIG. 3 may be compressed. In this case, the opposite elastic portion 174 may be stretched. The elastic portion 174 that is tensioned or compressed as described above may provide a restoring force to the first body portion 172a during linear movement of the first body portion 172a.
한편, 상기와 같이 작동하는 스토퍼부(170)는 보통의 경우 문제되지 않을 수 있다. 구체적으로 동력전달장치(100)가 설계된 범위(예를 들면, 설정된 각도 범위 등)에서 움직이는 경우 스토퍼부(170)는 동력전달장치(100)의 작동에 거의 영향을 미치지 않을 수 있다. On the other hand, the stopper portion 170 that operates as described above may not be a problem in normal cases. Specifically, when the power transmission device 100 moves in the designed range (for example, the set angle range, etc.), the stopper unit 170 may have little influence on the operation of the power transmission device 100.
반면, 동력전달장치(100)가 설계된 범위를 벗어나는 경우 스토퍼부(170)는 제2 회전축(132)의 회전을 정지시킬 수 있다. 구체적으로 제2 회전축(132)의 회전에 따라 걸림부재(172)가 가이드부(173)를 따라 이동하가다 걸림부재(172)는 가이드부(173)의 끝단에 도달할 수 있다. 이러한 경우 탄성부(174)가 더 이상 압축되지 않거나 걸림부재(172)가 제1 회전감지부(142)에 접촉하는 경우 걸림부재(172)는 더 이상 회전하지 않으면서 가이드부(173)를 선형 운동 못할 수 있다. On the other hand, when the power transmission device 100 is out of the designed range, the stopper unit 170 may stop the rotation of the second rotation shaft 132. In detail, the locking member 172 moves along the guide portion 173 as the second rotation shaft 132 rotates. The locking member 172 may reach the end of the guide portion 173. In this case, when the elastic part 174 is no longer compressed or the locking member 172 contacts the first rotation sensing unit 142, the locking member 172 linearly guides the guide unit 173 without further rotating. You may not be able to exercise.
상기와 같은 경우 걸림돌기(172b)는 홀(171a)에 삽입되어 리브(171b)와 접촉된 상태일 수 있다. 이러한 경우 제1 회전체(141)는 더 이상 회전하지 못하는 상태일 수 있으며, 제2 회전축(132)도 더 이상 회전하지 못할 수 있다. 또한, 제2 회전축(132)에 연결된 외부 장치도 더 이상 회전하지 않을 수 있다. 이때, 드라이버(151)는 구동부(120)에 인가되는 부하가 증가하는 것을 인지하고 구동부(120)를 정지시킬 수 있다. 또는 브레이크(133)가 작동하여 제1 회전축(112)의 회전을 중지시키는 것도 가능하다. 다른 실시예로써 센서부(181)에서 걸림부재(172)가 상기와 같은 위치에 도달하는 경우 구동부(120)의 작동을 중지시키고 브레이크(133)를 작동시키는 것도 가능하다. In this case, the locking protrusion 172b may be inserted into the hole 171a to be in contact with the rib 171b. In this case, the first rotating body 141 may not be able to rotate any more, and the second rotating shaft 132 may no longer rotate. In addition, the external device connected to the second rotating shaft 132 may not rotate anymore. In this case, the driver 151 may recognize that the load applied to the driver 120 increases and may stop the driver 120. Alternatively, the brake 133 may be operated to stop the rotation of the first rotation shaft 112. In another embodiment, when the locking member 172 reaches the position as described above, the sensor unit 181 may stop the operation of the driving unit 120 and operate the brake 133.
센서부(181)는 걸림부재(172)가 상기와 같은 위치에 도달하면 걸림부재(172)의 위치를 감지할 수 있다. 이때, 알람부(182)는 센서부(181)에서 감지된 결과를 근거로 외부로 빛, 소리 등을 통하여 외부의 사용자에게 동력전달장치(100)가 설정된 설정범위의 경계에 도달하였음을 알려줄 수 있다. The sensor unit 181 may detect the position of the locking member 172 when the locking member 172 reaches the position as described above. At this time, the alarm unit 182 may inform the external user that the power transmission device 100 has reached the boundary of the set range through light, sound, etc. based on the result detected by the sensor unit 181. have.
상기와 같은 같은 케이블 등은 제2 회전축(132) 내부에 삽입되며, 커버(183) 부분을 통과하여 구동부(120) 등과 같은 각 구성요소와 연결될 수 있다. 이러한 경우 제1 회전축(112) 및 제2 회전축(132)가 설계 범위를 벗어나 회전하는 경우 제2 회전축(132)에 삽입된 케이블 등이 제2 회전축(132)의 회전에 따라 지속적으로 회전하는 경우가 발생할 수 있다. 특히 케이블의 각 끝단이 고정됨으로써 제2 회전축(132)의 회전에 따라 복수개의 케이블 등이 서로 얽히거나 케이블 등의 끝단에 과도한 비틀림이 가해질 수 있다. 이러한 경우 케이블 등은 끊어지거나 파손됨으로써 단락이 발생하는 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 그러나 상기와 같이 구동부(120)의 작동이 중지되거나 제2 회전축(132)이 더 이상 회전하지 않고 설계 범위에서 회전하는 경우 제1 회전축(112) 및 제2 회전축(132)은 설계된 범위를 넘어 회전하지 않을 수 있다. 이러한 경우 제2 회전축(132) 내부의 케이블 등은 더 이상 회전하지 않을 수 있다. The cable as described above may be inserted into the second rotation shaft 132, and may be connected to each component such as the driving unit 120 through the cover 183. In this case, when the first rotary shaft 112 and the second rotary shaft 132 rotates out of the design range, the cable inserted into the second rotary shaft 132 continuously rotates according to the rotation of the second rotary shaft 132. May occur. In particular, as each end of the cable is fixed, a plurality of cables may be entangled with each other or excessive twist may be applied to the ends of the cables, as the second rotation shaft 132 is rotated. In this case, the cable may be broken or broken, thereby causing a short circuit. However, as described above, when the operation of the driving unit 120 is stopped or the second rotating shaft 132 is no longer rotated and rotates in the design range, the first rotating shaft 112 and the second rotating shaft 132 rotate beyond the designed range. You can't. In this case, the cable inside the second rotary shaft 132 may not rotate any more.
한편, 상기 투과창에는 걸림부재(172)의 위치에 따라 제2 회전축(132)의 회전량, 회전방향을 확인할 수 있도록 눈금 등이 기록된 상태일 수 있다. 또한, 상기의 경우 이외에도 제1 회전체(141), 제1 가이드부(173)에 제2 회전축(132)의 회전량, 회전방향을 확인할 수 있도록 눈금 등이 기록된 상태인 경우도 가능하다. 이러한 경우 걸림부재(172)와 겹치는 눈금을 읽음으로써 사용자는 제2 회전축(132)의 회전 정도를 확인하는 것이 가능하다. On the other hand, the transmission window may be in a state in which a scale or the like is recorded so as to check the rotation amount and the rotation direction of the second rotation shaft 132 according to the position of the locking member 172. In addition, in addition to the above case, a scale or the like may be recorded in the first rotating body 141 and the first guide part 173 so as to check the rotation amount and the rotation direction of the second rotating shaft 132. In this case, by reading the scale overlapping with the locking member 172, the user can check the degree of rotation of the second rotary shaft 132.
따라서 동력전달장치(100)는 간단한 구성 및 구조를 통하여 작동범위를 한정하는 것이 가능하다. 동력전달장치(100)는 360도 이상의 회전을 물리적으로 제한함으로써 동력전달장치(100) 내부의 케이블 등이 꼬이는 것을 방지할 수 있다. Therefore, the power transmission device 100 can limit the operating range through a simple configuration and structure.
