Description

電動シリンダシステムElectric cylinder system
 本発明は、電動シリンダシステムに関する。 The present invention relates to an electric cylinder system.
 従来、サーボモータ及びボールねじを備え、サーボモータの回転をボールねじによって直線運動に変換し、往復運動可能なシリンダを備える電動シリンダが知られている。 2.

 従来技術の一例である特許文献1には、回転-直動変換部と、サーボモータと、軸ブレーキと、エンコーダとが一体として示された装置が開示されている。この軸ブレーキは、主電源がオフするとブレーキ回路から出力されるブレーキ保持信号によって動作し、サーボモータの回転を強制停止させる。 Patent Document 1 as an example of the prior art discloses a device in which a rotation-linear motion conversion unit, a servo motor, a shaft brake, and an encoder are shown as an integral unit.

 しかしながら、上記の特許文献1に開示された技術では、サーボモータの回転開始時におけるブレーキの解除については考慮されていない。そのため、ブレーキ回路からのブレーキ解除信号がブレーキに伝達されていない場合には、ブレーキ未解除の状態でサーボモータが回転を開始しようとしてしまい、サーボモータの故障を誘発する、という問題があった。 However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, release of the brake at the start of rotation of the servo motor is not considered. For this reason, when the brake release signal from the brake circuit is not transmitted to the brake, there is a problem that the servomotor tries to start rotation without releasing the brake, thereby causing a failure of the servomotor.
 本発明は、上記に鑑みてなされたものであって、サーボモータのブレーキが確実に解除された状態で動作を開始する電動シリンダシステムを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric cylinder system that starts operation in a state where the brake of the servo motor is reliably released.
 上述の課題を解決して目的を達成する本発明は、シリンダ部及び該シリンダ部を駆動させるサーボモータを備える電動シリンダと、該サーボモータを制御するサーボモータ制御装置とを備える電動シリンダシステムであって、前記サーボモータは、ブレーキ開閉器によって開閉が制御されるブレーキを備え、前記ブレーキ開閉器と前記ブレーキとの間に電流センサが設けられ、前記サーボモータ制御装置は、操作情報に基づいて回転指令を出力するサーボシリンダコントローラと、前記電流センサによる検出値が、設定範囲内である場合には接点を閉じ、設定範囲内でない場合には接点を開く接点出力型の電流センサアンプとを備え、前記サーボシリンダコントローラは、前記接点が開いている場合には前記サーボモータに対して回転指令を出力しないように動作することを特徴とする。 The present invention that achieves the object by solving the above-described problems is an electric cylinder system that includes an electric cylinder including a cylinder portion and a servo motor that drives the cylinder portion, and a servo motor control device that controls the servo motor. The servo motor includes a brake whose opening / closing is controlled by a brake switch, a current sensor is provided between the brake switch and the brake, and the servo motor control device rotates based on operation information. A servo cylinder controller that outputs a command, and a contact output type current sensor amplifier that closes the contact when the value detected by the current sensor is within the set range and opens the contact when the detected value is not within the set range, The servo cylinder controller sends a rotation command to the servo motor when the contact is open. Characterized in that it operates not to output.
 上記電動シリンダシステムは、前記接点が開いている場合に、ユーザに異常を報知する異常報知機能を備えることが好ましい。 The electric cylinder system preferably includes an abnormality notification function for notifying the user of an abnormality when the contact is open.
 本発明によれば、サーボモータのブレーキが確実に解除された状態で動作を開始する電動シリンダシステムを提供することができる、という効果を奏する。 According to the present invention, there is an effect that it is possible to provide an electric cylinder system that starts operation in a state where the brake of the servo motor is reliably released.

 本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して以下に説明する。ただし、本発明は、以下の実施形態の記載によって限定解釈されるものではない。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, this invention is not limitedly interpreted by description of the following embodiment.
<実施形態>
 図1は、本実施形態に係る電動シリンダシステム100の構成を示す図である。図1に示す電動シリンダシステム100は、電動シリンダ10と、サーボモータ制御装置4と、電流センサ5とを備える。また、電動シリンダ10は、シリンダ部1と、回転伝達機構2と、サーボモータ3とを備える。
<Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an electric cylinder system 100 according to the present embodiment. An electric cylinder system 100 shown in FIG. 1 includes an electric cylinder 10, a servo motor control device 4, and a current sensor 5. The electric cylinder 10 includes a cylinder portion 1, a rotation transmission mechanism 2, and a servo motor 3.
 シリンダ部1はボールねじを備え、回転伝達機構2を介して伝達されたサーボモータ3の回転が該ボールねじによって直線運動に変換されることで、シリンダ部1内のロッドが往復運動を行う。 The cylinder unit 1 includes a ball screw, and the rod in the cylinder unit 1 reciprocates as the rotation of the servo motor 3 transmitted through the rotation transmission mechanism 2 is converted into a linear motion by the ball screw.
 回転伝達機構2は、サーボモータ3の回転をシリンダ部1に伝達する。回転伝達機構2は、例えば、シリンダ部1及びサーボモータ3の各々に接続された2つのタイミングプーリと、これらのタイミングプーリ間において動力の伝達を行うタイミングベルトとにより実現することができる。ただし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、回転伝達機構2が歯車を備え、この歯車によってサーボモータ3の回転がシリンダ部1に伝達されてもよい。なお、シリンダ部1の回転軸にサーボモータ3の回転軸が直接又は直列に接続されている場合には、電動シリンダシステム100は、上記のような回転伝達機構2を備えていなくてもよい。 The rotation transmission mechanism 2 transmits the rotation of the servo motor 3 to the cylinder unit 1. The rotation transmission mechanism 2 can be realized by, for example, two timing pulleys connected to each of the cylinder portion 1 and the servo motor 3, and a timing belt that transmits power between these timing pulleys. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rotation transmission mechanism 2 may include a gear, and the rotation of the servo motor 3 may be transmitted to the cylinder portion 1 by this gear. When the rotation shaft of the servo motor 3 is connected directly or in series to the rotation shaft of the cylinder portion 1, the electric cylinder system 100 may not include the rotation transmission mechanism 2 as described above.
 シリンダ部1を駆動するサーボモータ3は、ブレーキ用コネクタ31、エンコーダ用コネクタ32及び動力用コネクタ33を備え、エンコーダ用コネクタ32及び動力用コネクタ33はサーボモータ制御装置4に接続されている。更には、サーボモータ3は図示しないブレーキを有し、このブレーキは、通電時には解除されてサーボモータ3の回転を可能とし、非通電時にはサーボモータ3の回転を止めるものである。なお、このサーボモータ3のブレーキにはブレーキ用コネクタ31、及び後述するようにブレーキケーブル64を介してブレーキ開閉器50が接続され、このブレーキとブレーキ開閉器50との間には電流センサ5が設けられる。ブレーキケーブル64は、ブレーキ用コネクタ31とブレーキ開閉器50とを接続し、直流電流が流れるケーブルである。 The servo motor 3 that drives the cylinder unit 1 includes a brake connector 31, an encoder connector 32, and a power connector 33, and the encoder connector 32 and the power connector 33 are connected to the servo motor control device 4. Further, the servo motor 3 has a brake (not shown). The brake is released when energized to allow the servo motor 3 to rotate, and when not energized, the servo motor 3 stops rotating. A brake switch 31 is connected to the brake of the servo motor 3 via a brake connector 31 and a brake cable 64 as will be described later. A current sensor 5 is connected between the brake and the brake switch 50. Provided. The brake cable 64 is a cable that connects the brake connector 31 and the brake switch 50 and through which a direct current flows.
 サーボモータ3のブレーキは、例えば、励磁コイル、アーマチュア、ブレーキライニング、プレート及びばね等の部品により実現することができる。励磁コイルに電圧が印加されていない状態では、アーマチュアが釈放され、ばねによりブレーキライニングがプレートを押し付け、モータ軸が固定されて、ブレーキがかかる。そして、励磁コイルに電圧が印加されると、ばねに抗して励磁コイルにアーマチュアが吸引され、モータ軸が開放されてブレーキが解除される。このとき、ブレーキが解除されていない状態でサーボモータ3が回転を開始してしまうと、ブレーキを構成する部品が損傷又は破壊される。そのため、サーボモータ3が回転を開始する前にブレーキを確実に解除すべきである。 The brake of the servo motor 3 can be realized by parts such as an exciting coil, an armature, a brake lining, a plate, and a spring, for example. When no voltage is applied to the exciting coil, the armature is released, the brake lining presses the plate with the spring, the motor shaft is fixed, and the brake is applied. When a voltage is applied to the exciting coil, the armature is attracted to the exciting coil against the spring, the motor shaft is released, and the brake is released. At this time, if the servo motor 3 starts rotating in a state where the brake is not released, parts constituting the brake are damaged or destroyed. Therefore, the brake should be reliably released before the servo motor 3 starts to rotate.
 サーボモータ制御装置4は、サーボモータ3に接続され、サーボモータ3に指令を出力することでサーボモータ3の動作を制御する。また、サーボモータ制御装置4は、電流センサ接続端子40と、ブレーキ開閉指令端子41と、エンコーダケーブル端子42と、動力ケーブル端子43とを備え、電流センサ接続端子40は電流センサ接続ケーブル60により電流センサ5と接続され、ブレーキ開閉指令端子41はブレーキ開閉指令ケーブル61によりブレーキ開閉器50と接続され、エンコーダケーブル端子42はエンコーダケーブル62によりエンコーダ用コネクタ32と接続され、動力ケーブル端子43は動力ケーブル63により動力用コネクタ33と接続されている。ブレーキ開閉指令ケーブル61は、ブレーキ開閉指令端子41とブレーキ開閉器50とを接続し、サーボモータ制御装置4からブレーキ開閉器50への通電又は非通電の信号を送信するケーブルである。 Servo motor control device 4 is connected to servo motor 3 and controls the operation of servo motor 3 by outputting a command to servo motor 3. The servo motor control device 4 includes a current sensor connection terminal 40, a brake opening / closing command terminal 41, an encoder cable terminal 42, and a power cable terminal 43. Connected to the sensor 5, the brake opening / closing command terminal 41 is connected to the brake switch 50 by a brake opening / closing command cable 61, the encoder cable terminal 42 is connected to the encoder connector 32 by an encoder cable 62, and the power cable terminal 43 is a power cable. 63 is connected to the power connector 33. The brake opening / closing command cable 61 is a cable that connects the brake opening / closing command terminal 41 and the brake switch 50 and transmits an energization or non-energization signal from the servo motor control device 4 to the brake switch 50.
 なお、ブレーキ開閉指令端子41、エンコーダケーブル端子42及び動力ケーブル端子43は、サーボモータ3とブレーキ開閉器50とサーボモータ制御装置4内の構成との接続関係を説明するために示すものであり、サーボモータ3とブレーキ開閉器50とサーボモータ制御装置4内の構成とが直接接続される場合には設けられていなくてもよい。 The brake opening / closing command terminal 41, the encoder cable terminal 42, and the power cable terminal 43 are shown for explaining the connection relationship between the servo motor 3, the brake switch 50, and the configuration in the servo motor control device 4. When the servo motor 3, the brake switch 50, and the configuration in the servo motor control device 4 are directly connected, the servo motor 3, the brake switch 50, and the configuration in the servo motor control device 4 may be omitted.

The servo motor control device 4 shown in FIG. 2 includes a servo cylinder controller 44, a servo motor amplifier 45, a current sensor amplifier 46, a PLC connection terminal 47 to which a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) 51 is connected, and a servo cylinder teaching box. And a servo cylinder teaching box connection terminal 48 to which 52 is connected. The encoder cable terminal 42 and the power cable terminal 43 are connected to the servo motor amplifier 45, the brake opening / closing command terminal 41 is connected to the brake switch 50, and the servo cylinder teaching box connection terminal 48 is connected to the servo cylinder teaching box 52. The PLC 51 is connected to the PLC connection terminal 47.
 サーボシリンダティーチングボックス52又はPLC51は、サーボシリンダコントローラ44に接続され、サーボシリンダの操作情報の入力及びサーボシリンダコントローラ44からの出力データに基づいて動作状態等の表示を行う。 The servo cylinder teaching box 52 or the PLC 51 is connected to the servo cylinder controller 44, and displays an operation state and the like based on input of operation information of the servo cylinder and output data from the servo cylinder controller 44.
 サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、サーボシリンダティーチングボックス52又はPLC51から入力された操作情報に基づき、サーボモータアンプ45に回転指令を出力する。また、サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、PLC接続端子47を介して接続されたPLC51から操作情報が入力され、ブレーキ開閉指令端子41を介して接続されたブレーキ開閉器50にブレーキ開閉指令を出力する。 Servo cylinder controller 44 outputs a rotation command to servo motor amplifier 45 based on operation information input from servo cylinder teaching box 52 or PLC 51. The servo cylinder controller 44 receives operation information from the PLC 51 connected via the PLC connection terminal 47 and outputs a brake opening / closing command to the brake switch 50 connected via the brake opening / closing command terminal 41.
 サーボモータアンプ45は、サーボシリンダコントローラ44と、エンコーダケーブル端子42及び動力ケーブル端子43との間に配され、サーボシリンダコントローラ44からの回転指令に応じた動力を動力ケーブル端子43に出力する。 Servo motor amplifier 45 is arranged between servo cylinder controller 44, encoder cable terminal 42 and power cable terminal 43, and outputs power corresponding to a rotation command from servo cylinder controller 44 to power cable terminal 43.
 電流センサ5は、ブレーキ開閉器50とサーボモータ3との間のブレーキケーブル64の電流を検出可能なようにブレーキ用コネクタ31とブレーキ開閉器50との間に位置することで、サーボモータ3のブレーキの開閉状態を検出する。例えば、ブレーキ開閉器50とサーボモータ3との間において断線が生じている場合には、電流センサ5の検出値は極めて小さい値となり、断線が生じていない場合の検出値とは異なる値となる。 The current sensor 5 is positioned between the brake connector 31 and the brake switch 50 so that the current of the brake cable 64 between the brake switch 50 and the servo motor 3 can be detected. Detects whether the brake is open or closed. For example, when a disconnection occurs between the brake switch 50 and the servo motor 3, the detection value of the current sensor 5 is an extremely small value, which is different from the detection value when no disconnection occurs. .
 電流センサアンプ46は、電流センサ5の検出値が設定範囲内である場合に接点を閉じ、設定された範囲内でない場合には接点を開く接点出力型である。 The current sensor amplifier 46 is a contact output type that closes the contact when the detected value of the current sensor 5 is within the set range, and opens the contact when the detected value is not within the set range.
 PLC51は、ユーザの操作を反映した操作情報を出力する。この操作情報は、PLC接続端子47を介してサーボシリンダコントローラ44に入力される。サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、この操作情報に基づいて回転指令を生成する。なお、図示していないが、PLC51には表示器が接続又は搭載されていてもよい。また、PLC51を接続しなくてもサーボシリンダティーチングボックス52によって操作情報を入力可能な場合にはPLC51が接続されていなくてもよい。 PLC 51 outputs operation information reflecting user operation. This operation information is input to the servo cylinder controller 44 via the PLC connection terminal 47. The servo cylinder controller 44 generates a rotation command based on this operation information. Although not shown, a display device may be connected to or mounted on the PLC 51. Further, when the operation information can be input by the servo cylinder teaching box 52 without connecting the PLC 51, the PLC 51 may not be connected.
 ブレーキ開閉器50は、ブレーキ用の直流電源6に接続され、ブレーキケーブル64及びブレーキ用コネクタ31を介してサーボモータ3のブレーキを通電又は非通電とする。また、ブレーキ開閉器50には、ブレーキ開閉指令ケーブル61及びブレーキ開閉指令端子41を介してサーボシリンダコントローラ44からブレーキ開閉指令が出力される。ブレーキ開閉器50が直流電源6によりサーボモータ3のブレーキに通電する場合、サーボモータ3のブレーキが解除され、サーボモータ3は回転可能となる。ブレーキ開閉器50がサーボモータ3のブレーキに通電しない場合、サーボモータ3にブレーキがかかり、サーボモータ3は制止される。 The brake switch 50 is connected to the brake DC power source 6 and energizes or de-energizes the brake of the servo motor 3 via the brake cable 64 and the brake connector 31. A brake opening / closing command is output from the servo cylinder controller 44 to the brake switch 50 via the brake opening / closing command cable 61 and the brake opening / closing command terminal 41. When the brake switch 50 energizes the brake of the servo motor 3 by the DC power source 6, the brake of the servo motor 3 is released and the servo motor 3 can rotate. When the brake switch 50 does not energize the brake of the servo motor 3, the brake is applied to the servo motor 3, and the servo motor 3 is stopped.
 なお、ここではサーボモータ制御装置4にPLC51及びブレーキ開閉器50が接続された形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、PLC51及びブレーキ開閉器50は、サーボモータ制御装置4に搭載されていてもよい。 Here, the embodiment in which the PLC 51 and the brake switch 50 are connected to the servo motor control device 4 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the PLC 51 and the brake switch 50 are not limited to the servo motor control device. 4 may be mounted.
 図3は、本実施形態に係る電動シリンダシステム100の起動時の動作を示すフローチャートである。電動シリンダシステム100の電源がオンされると、サーボシリンダコントローラ44がブレーキ開閉器50にブレーキ開閉指令を出力して処理を開始する。処理を開始すると、まず、ブレーキ開閉器50は、ブレーキ用の直流電源6によりサーボモータ3のブレーキを通電する(S1)。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation at the start-up of the electric cylinder system 100 according to the present embodiment. When the electric cylinder system 100 is powered on, the servo cylinder controller 44 outputs a brake opening / closing command to the brake switch 50 and starts processing. When the process is started, first, the brake switch 50 energizes the brake of the servo motor 3 by the brake DC power supply 6 (S1).
 次に、電流センサ5がブレーキケーブル64の電流値を検出し、その検出値を電流センサアンプ46に送信すると、電流センサアンプ46は、電流センサ5の検出値が設定範囲内であるか否かを判定する(S2)。ここで、電流センサアンプ46は、電流センサ5の検出値が設定範囲内である場合には接点を閉じ、設定された範囲内でない場合には接点を開く。サーボシリンダコントローラ44には、電流センサ5の検出値をもとに開閉された電流センサアンプ46の接点出力の開閉状態を示す信号が入力される。サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、電流センサアンプ46の接点が開状態であれば電流検出値は異常であると判定し、電流センサアンプ46の接点が閉状態であれば電流検出値は正常であると判定する。電流検出値が設定範囲内である場合、すなわち正常である場合(S2:Y)には、サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、サーボシリンダティーチングボックス52又はPLC51からの操作情報に基づいて、サーボモータ3を回転させるか否かを判定する(S3)。サーボモータ3を回転させる場合(S3:Y)には、サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、サーボモータ3に回転指令を出力し(S4)、処理を終了する。 Next, when the current sensor 5 detects the current value of the brake cable 64 and transmits the detected value to the current sensor amplifier 46, the current sensor amplifier 46 determines whether or not the detected value of the current sensor 5 is within the set range. Is determined (S2). Here, the current sensor amplifier 46 closes the contact when the detection value of the current sensor 5 is within the set range, and opens the contact when it is not within the set range. The servo cylinder controller 44 receives a signal indicating the open / closed state of the contact output of the current sensor amplifier 46 that is opened / closed based on the detection value of the current sensor 5. The servo cylinder controller 44 determines that the current detection value is abnormal if the contact of the current sensor amplifier 46 is open, and determines that the current detection value is normal if the contact of the current sensor amplifier 46 is closed. To do. When the detected current value is within the set range, that is, when it is normal (S2: Y), the servo cylinder controller 44 rotates the servo motor 3 based on the operation information from the servo cylinder teaching box 52 or the PLC 51. It is determined whether or not to perform (S3). When the servo motor 3 is rotated (S3: Y), the servo cylinder controller 44 outputs a rotation command to the servo motor 3 (S4), and the process ends.
 又は、電流検出値が正常である(S2:Y)ものの、サーボモータ3を回転させずに停止させる場合(S3:N)には、サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、サーボモータ3に現在位置停止指令を出力し(S5)、処理を終了する。 Alternatively, when the current detection value is normal (S2: Y) but the servo motor 3 is stopped without rotating (S3: N), the servo cylinder controller 44 issues a current position stop command to the servo motor 3. Output (S5), the process is terminated.
 しかしながら、S2において電流検出値が設定範囲内でない場合、すなわち正常でないと判定した場合(S2:N)には、ブレーキ開閉器50からサーボモータ3のブレーキに通電していないおそれがあるため、サーボシリンダコントローラ44は、サーボモータ3に回転指令を出力することなくサーボシリンダティーチングボックス52又はPLC51に接続又は搭載された表示器に異常信号を送信し(S6)、サーボシリンダティーチングボックス52又はPLC51に接続又は搭載された表示器は異常メッセージを表示し(S7)、処理を終了する。 However, if the current detection value is not within the set range in S2, that is, if it is determined that the current detection value is not normal (S2: N), there is a possibility that the brake switch 50 does not energize the brake of the servo motor 3. The cylinder controller 44 transmits an abnormal signal to the display connected to or mounted on the servo cylinder teaching box 52 or PLC 51 without outputting a rotation command to the servo motor 3 (S6), and connected to the servo cylinder teaching box 52 or PLC 51. Alternatively, the mounted display device displays an abnormal message (S7) and ends the process.
 このように動作する電動シリンダシステム100は、サーボモータ3とブレーキ開閉器50との間の断線等の通電の異常を電流センサ5により検出可能であるため、サーボモータ3のブレーキが解除されることなくサーボモータ3が回転してしまうことを防止することができる。 Since the electric cylinder system 100 operating in this way can detect an abnormality in energization such as disconnection between the servo motor 3 and the brake switch 50 by the current sensor 5, the brake of the servo motor 3 is released. Thus, the servo motor 3 can be prevented from rotating.
 なお、本実施形態において、ブレーキ開閉器50の開閉状態は電流センサ5によって検出されているが、本発明はこれに限定されず、ブレーキ開閉器50の通電状態を検出することができれば特定の構成に限定されるものではない。 In the present embodiment, the open / close state of the brake switch 50 is detected by the current sensor 5, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a specific configuration is possible as long as the energization state of the brake switch 50 can be detected. It is not limited to.
 なお、本実施形態に係る電動シリンダシステム100は、電流センサアンプ46の接点が開状態である場合、すなわち異常である場合に、ユーザに対して異常を報知する異常報知機能を備えることが好ましい。この異常報知機能は、サーボシリンダコントローラ44が異常であると判定した際に、サーボシリンダコントローラ44からPLC51又はサーボシリンダティーチングボックス52に信号が送信され、当該信号を受信したPLC51又はサーボシリンダティーチングボックス52に異常である旨が表示されることで実現することができる。ただし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、ユーザに対して異常を報知することができれば特定の構成に限定されるものではない。例えば、サーボモータ3又はサーボモータ制御装置4に搭載されたブザーが鳴動することで、ユーザに対して異常を報知する構成としてもよい。 Note that the electric cylinder system 100 according to the present embodiment preferably includes an abnormality notification function that notifies the user of an abnormality when the contact of the current sensor amplifier 46 is in an open state, that is, when it is abnormal. When the servo cylinder controller 44 determines that this abnormality notification function is abnormal, a signal is transmitted from the servo cylinder controller 44 to the PLC 51 or the servo cylinder teaching box 52, and the PLC 51 or servo cylinder teaching box 52 that has received the signal. This can be realized by displaying an error message on the screen. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is not limited to a specific configuration as long as the user can be notified of the abnormality. For example, it is good also as a structure which alert | reports abnormality to a user by the buzzer mounted in the servomotor 3 or the servomotor control apparatus 4 ringing.
