Description

減速機及び駆動装置Reducer and drive
 本発明は、減速機及び駆動装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a speed reducer and a drive device.
 従来から、モータ等の駆動源の出力軸の回転速度を減速するために減速機が用いられている。減速機としては例えば遊星歯車を用いた遊星歯車機構がある。従来の遊星歯車機構においては、ハウジングに形成された内歯歯車に噛み合う遊星歯車に駆動源の出力軸の動力が伝達され、遊星歯車が自転可能に支持された遊星歯車機構の出力軸に遊星歯車から動力が伝達されて、この遊星歯車機構の出力軸が回転する。遊星歯車を介した動力の伝達により、遊星歯車機構の出力軸の回転速度は駆動源の出力軸の回転速度に対して減速される。遊星歯車機構の出力軸は、軸受を介してハウジングに固定されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。 Conventionally, a speed reducer has been used to reduce the rotational speed of the output shaft of a drive source such as a motor. As a speed reducer, for example, there is a planetary gear mechanism using a planetary gear. In the conventional planetary gear mechanism, the power of the output shaft of the drive source is transmitted to the planetary gears that mesh with the internal gears formed in the housing, and the planetary gears are rotatably supported on the output shaft of the planetary gear mechanism. Power is transmitted from the planetary gears to rotate the output shaft of this planetary gear mechanism. Due to the transmission of power via the planetary gears, the rotation speed of the output shaft of the planetary gear mechanism is reduced with respect to the rotation speed of the output shaft of the drive source. The output shaft of the planetary gear mechanism is fixed to the housing via a bearing (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The position of the internal tooth portion 10b with respect to the axis x direction is determined. Further, on the inner peripheral surface 16 of the internal tooth portion 10b, an internal tooth 62 is formed in which the planetary gear 61 of the planetary gear mechanism 4 of the speed reducer 2 described later meshes with the planetary gear 61. That is, the internal tooth portion 10b is an internal tooth gear of the planetary gear mechanism 4. In the illustrated example, the internal teeth 62 are formed on the entire inner peripheral surface 16 of the internal tooth portion 10b, but the internal teeth 62 may be formed on a part of the inner peripheral surface 16.
 図5に示すように、軸支持部10aと内歯部10bとが結合された状態において、外被係合部41、軸受嵌合面12c、外受部42の外受面42a、及び内歯62は、同心状又は略同心状に配置されるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 5, in a state where the shaft support portion 10a and the internal tooth portion 10b are coupled, the outer cover engaging portion 41, the bearing fitting surface 12c, the external receiving surface 42a of the external receiving portion 42, and the internal teeth 62 are arranged concentrically or substantially concentrically.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the output shaft 20 has a base portion 21, and the base portion 21 has an insertion portion 22 which is a portion that can be inserted into the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 extending along the axis x. ing.
 基部21は、挿入部22よりも外周側に突出する部分であるフランジ部23を少なくとも1つ有している。図示の例においては、3つのフランジ部23が設けられている。フランジ部23は、挿入部22よりも外周に広がる、軸線xに直交する平面に沿って延びる平面又は略平面である内受面23aを有している。内受面23aは、軸線x方向において外側に面している。フランジ部23は、後述する軸受30を出力軸20に固定するための内固定部50の内受部であり、内受面23aは、図2に示す減速機2の組み立て状態において、軸受30の内輪31の内側端面31aと接触するように形成されている。 The base portion 21 has at least one flange portion 23 which is a portion protruding toward the outer peripheral side from the insertion portion 22. In the illustrated example, three flange portions 23 are provided. The flange portion 23 has an inner receiving surface 23a which is a plane or a substantially plane extending along a plane orthogonal to the axis x, which extends to the outer periphery of the insertion portion 22. The inner receiving surface 23a faces outward in the axis x direction. The flange portion 23 is an internal receiving portion of the internal fixing portion 50 for fixing the bearing 30 described later to the output shaft 20, and the internal receiving surface 23a is the bearing 30 in the assembled state of the speed reducer 2 shown in FIG. It is formed so as to come into contact with the inner end surface 31a of the inner ring 31.
 挿入部22は、フランジ部23から外側に突出する中空円盤状又は円筒状の部分であり、外周側に面する面である外周面22aを有している。外周面22aは、軸線xに沿って延びる円筒面又は略円筒面である。挿入部22は、軸受30の内輪31内に挿入可能になっており、外周面22aは、内輪31の内周側に面する面である内周面31bと同じ又は略同じ径となっている。挿入部22は、内輪31に締まり嵌めされるものであってもよく、内輪31に隙間嵌めされるものであってもよく、内輪31に中間嵌めされるものであってもよい。また、挿入部22は、軸線x方向において外側に面する外側の端において広がる面である端面22bを有している。 The insertion portion 22 is a hollow disk-shaped or cylindrical portion protruding outward from the flange portion 23, and has an outer peripheral surface 22a which is a surface facing the outer peripheral side. The outer peripheral surface 22a is a cylindrical surface or a substantially cylindrical surface extending along the axis x. The insertion portion 22 can be inserted into the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30, and the outer peripheral surface 22a has the same or substantially the same diameter as the inner peripheral surface 31b, which is a surface facing the inner peripheral side of the inner ring 31. .. The insertion portion 22 may be tightly fitted to the inner ring 31, may be gap-fitted to the inner ring 31, or may be intermediately fitted to the inner ring 31. Further, the insertion portion 22 has an end surface 22b which is a surface that spreads at the outer end facing the outside in the axis x direction.
 図2,6に示すように、挿入部22は、中空になっており、中央を貫通する空間24が形成されている。また、この空間24は、基部21にまで達している。このため、出力軸20の容積を低減させることができ、出力軸20の重量を低減させることができ、出力軸20が軽量化されている。なお、空間24は、出力軸20を貫通していてもよい。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the insertion portion 22 is hollow, and a space 24 penetrating the center is formed. Further, this space 24 reaches the base 21. Therefore, the volume of the output shaft 20 can be reduced, the weight of the output shaft 20 can be reduced, and the weight of the output shaft 20 is reduced. The space 24 may penetrate the output shaft 20.
 また、図6,7に示すように、基部21には、軸線xに沿って延びる孔(軸孔25)が3つ形成されている。軸孔25には、図2に示すように、後述する遊星歯車機構4の遊星歯車61の回転軸61aが挿入され固定される。このため、基部21に形成される軸孔25は、遊星歯車機構4の遊星歯車61の数に対応している。このように、出力軸20の基部21は、遊星歯車機構4において遊星歯車61のキャリアとなっている。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, three holes (shaft holes 25) extending along the axis x are formed in the base portion 21. As shown in FIG. 2, the rotating shaft 61a of the planetary gear 61 of the planetary gear mechanism 4 described later is inserted and fixed in the shaft hole 25. Therefore, the shaft hole 25 formed in the base portion 21 corresponds to the number of planetary gears 61 of the planetary gear mechanism 4. As described above, the base 21 of the output shaft 20 serves as a carrier of the planetary gear 61 in the planetary gear mechanism 4.
 なお、図示の例においては、出力軸20の基部21は3つフランジ部23を有しているが、基部21はフランジ部23を1つ又は2つのみ有していてもよく、また、フランジ部23を4つ以上有していてもよい。また、フランジ部23は、挿入部22の外周面22aの全周を取り囲むように突出した1つの環状の部分であってもよい。 In the illustrated example, the base 21 of the output shaft 20 has three flanges 23, but the base 21 may have only one or two flanges 23, and the flange. It may have four or more portions 23. Further, the flange portion 23 may be one annular portion protruding so as to surround the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface 22a of the insertion portion 22.
 図8は、外固定体43の正面図であり、図9は、外固定体43の側面図であり、図10は、外固定体43を内側から見た斜視図である。図8~10に示すように、外固定体43は、軸線x周りの環状の部材であり、より具体的には、軸線xを中心とする円環状又は略円環状の部材である。 FIG. 8 is a front view of the external fixation body 43, FIG. 9 is a side view of the external fixation body 43, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the external fixation body 43 as viewed from the inside.

 図9,10に示すように、外固定体43は、軸線x方向において内側に面する環状の面(内側面45)を有している。内側面45は、外周側の部分において内側にずれている。つまり、内側面45は、内周側の円環状の面を形成するカバー面45aと、カバー面45aの外周側に広がる円環状の面を形成する端面45bとを有している。カバー面45aは、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面であり、端面45bは、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面である。端面45bは、軸線x方向においてカバー面45aよりも内側に位置しており、カバー面45aと端面45bとの間には、軸線x方向における段差(段差45c)が形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the outer fixing body 43 has an annular surface (inner side surface 45) facing inward in the axis x direction. The inner side surface 45 is displaced inward in the outer peripheral side portion. That is, the inner side surface 45 has a cover surface 45a forming an annular surface on the inner peripheral side and an end surface 45b forming an annular surface extending on the outer peripheral side of the cover surface 45a. The cover surface 45a is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x, and the end surface 45b is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x. The end surface 45b is located inside the cover surface 45a in the axis x direction, and a step (step 45c) in the axis x direction is formed between the cover surface 45a and the end surface 45b.
 また、図8~10に示すように、外固定体43の外周側に面する外周面は上述の外係合部44となっており、外固定体43の外周面には外係合部44が形成されている。外係合部44は、例えば、雄ねじであり、外係合部44としての雄ねじは、ハウジング10の軸支持部10aの開口部12に形成された外被係合部41としての雌ねじに螺合可能になっている。なお、雄ねじとしての外係合部44は、外固定体43の外周面の全体に形成されていてもよく、一部に形成されていてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the outer peripheral surface of the outer fixing body 43 facing the outer peripheral side is the above-mentioned outer engaging portion 44, and the outer peripheral surface of the outer fixing body 43 is the outer engaging portion 44. Is formed. The outer engaging portion 44 is, for example, a male screw, and the male screw as the outer engaging portion 44 is screwed into the female screw as the outer engaging portion 41 formed in the opening 12 of the shaft support portion 10a of the housing 10. It is possible. The outer engaging portion 44 as a male screw may be formed on the entire outer peripheral surface of the outer fixing body 43, or may be formed on a part thereof.
 また、図8に示すように、外固定体43の外側に面する面(外側面46)は、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面となっている。外側面46は、内側面45のカバー面45aと端面45bとに背向するように広がっている。外側面46には、外固定体43の取り付けのために外固定体43を回転されるための工具が係合する溝46aが形成されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the surface (outer surface 46) facing the outside of the external fixation body 43 is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x. The outer side surface 46 extends so as to face back to the cover surface 45a and the end surface 45b of the inner side surface 45.

 図2に示すように、外固定体43の端面45bは、軸受30の外輪32の外側の端面(外側端面32a)に対応している。つまり、減速機2において、外固定体43の外係合部44がハウジング10の外被係合部41に螺合されて外固定体43がハウジング10の開口部12に取り付けられると、外固定体43の端面45bと外輪32の外側端面32aとが軸線x方向において互いに接触するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the end surface 45b of the outer fixation body 43 corresponds to the outer end surface (outer end surface 32a) of the outer ring 32 of the bearing 30. That is, in the speed reducer 2, when the outer engaging portion 44 of the outer fixing body 43 is screwed into the outer engaging portion 41 of the housing 10 and the outer fixing body 43 is attached to the opening 12 of the housing 10, the external fixing is performed. The end face 45b of the body 43 and the outer end face 32a of the outer ring 32 come into contact with each other in the axis x direction.
 次いで、減速機2の有する内固定部50について説明する。減速機2は、軸受30を出力軸20に固定するための内固定部50を更に備えている。内固定部50は、出力軸20に形成された外周側に突出する部分である内受部としての上述のフランジ部23と、出力軸20に固定可能に形成された円盤状の部材である内固定体51とを有している。内受部としてのフランジ部23は、軸線x方向において軸受30の内輪31と接触可能に形成されており、上述のように内受面23aを有している。 Next, the internal fixing portion 50 of the speed reducer 2 will be described. The speed reducer 2 further includes an internal fixing portion 50 for fixing the bearing 30 to the output shaft 20. The inner fixing portion 50 is the above-mentioned flange portion 23 as an inner receiving portion formed on the output shaft 20 and projecting to the outer peripheral side, and the inner fixing portion 50 is a disk-shaped member formed so as to be fixed to the output shaft 20. It has a fixed body 51. The flange portion 23 as the inner receiving portion is formed so as to be in contact with the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 in the axis x direction, and has the inner receiving surface 23a as described above.
 図2に示すように、内固定体51は、出力軸20の挿入部22に固定可能に形成されており、挿入部22に固定された際に、軸線x方向において軸受30の内輪31に接触可能に形成された外周側の端部52を有している。図11,12は、内固定体51の斜視図であり、図11は、内固定体51を内側から見た斜視図であり、図12は、内固定体51を外側から見た斜視図である。図11に示すように、内固定体51は、具体的には、円盤状の形状を有しており、軸線x方向において内側に面する面(内側面53)は、外周側の端部52において外側にずれている。つまり、内側面53は、内周側の円形又は略円形の面を形成する挿入面53aと、挿入面53aの外周側に広がる円環状の面を形成する端面53bとを有している。挿入面53aは、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面であり、端面53bは、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面である。端面53bは、端部52において、軸線x方向内側に面する面である。端面53bは、軸線x方向において挿入面53aよりも外側に位置しており、挿入面53aと端面53bとの間には、軸線x方向における段差(段差53c)が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the inner fixing body 51 is formed so as to be fixed to the insertion portion 22 of the output shaft 20, and when fixed to the insertion portion 22, comes into contact with the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 in the axis x direction. It has a possibly formed outer peripheral end 52. 11 and 12 are perspective views of the internal fixation body 51, FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the internal fixation body 51 viewed from the inside, and FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the internal fixation body 51 viewed from the outside. is there. As shown in FIG. 11, the internal fixing body 51 specifically has a disk-like shape, and the surface facing inward in the axis x direction (inner side surface 53) is the end portion 52 on the outer peripheral side. Is shifted to the outside. That is, the inner side surface 53 has an insertion surface 53a that forms a circular or substantially circular surface on the inner peripheral side, and an end surface 53b that forms an annular surface that extends to the outer peripheral side of the insertion surface 53a. The insertion surface 53a is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x, and the end surface 53b is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x. The end surface 53b is a surface of the end portion 52 that faces inward in the x-direction of the axis. The end surface 53b is located outside the insertion surface 53a in the axis x direction, and a step (step 53c) in the axis x direction is formed between the insertion surface 53a and the end surface 53b.
 図2に示すように、挿入面53aは、出力軸20の端面22bに対応しており、減速機2において、挿入面53aと端面22bとが軸線x方向において互いに対向して又は接触して、出力軸20に内固定体51が取り付けられるようになっている。そして、端面53bは、減速機2において、出力軸20に内固定体51が取り付けられた際に、軸受30の内輪31の外側端面31cに接触するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the insertion surface 53a corresponds to the end surface 22b of the output shaft 20, and in the speed reducer 2, the insertion surface 53a and the end surface 22b face each other or come into contact with each other in the axis x direction. The internal fixation body 51 is attached to the output shaft 20. The end face 53b comes into contact with the outer end face 31c of the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 when the inner fixing body 51 is attached to the output shaft 20 in the speed reducer 2.
 また、図12に示すように、内固定体51の外側に面する面(外側面54)は、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面である。内固定体51の中央には、外側面54から空間55が軸線xに沿って内側に延びている。空間55は、内側面53にまで達していない。この空間55により、内固定体51の容積を低減させることができ、内固定体51の重量を低減させることができ、内固定体51が軽量化されている。空間55は、内固定体51を貫通していてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the surface facing the outside of the internal fixation body 51 (outer surface 54) is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x. At the center of the internal fixation body 51, a space 55 extends inward from the outer surface 54 along the axis x. The space 55 does not reach the inner surface 53. With this space 55, the volume of the internal fixing body 51 can be reduced, the weight of the internal fixing body 51 can be reduced, and the weight of the internal fixing body 51 is reduced. The space 55 may penetrate the internal fixation body 51.
 また、図11,12に示すように、内固定体51には、内固定体51を出力軸20に固定するためのボルト及び平行ピンが挿入されるボルト孔56及びピン孔57が形成されている。ボルト孔56及びピン孔57は貫通孔となっている。図6に示すように、出力軸20の挿入部22の端面22bには、内固定体51のボルト孔56及びピン孔57に対応したボルト孔26及びピン孔27が形成されている。出力軸20のボルト孔26はねじ孔となっている。内固定体51には、ボルト孔56又はピン孔57が形成されていてもよく、対応して、出力軸20には、ボルト孔26又はピン孔27が形成されていてもよい。図13に示すボルト58と共に平行ピン59によって内固定体51と出力軸20とを固定した場合、平行ピン59の固定により内固定体51の伝達トルクを大きくすることができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the inner fixing body 51 is formed with bolt holes 56 and pin holes 57 into which bolts and parallel pins for fixing the inner fixing body 51 to the output shaft 20 are inserted. There is. The bolt hole 56 and the pin hole 57 are through holes. As shown in FIG. 6, a bolt hole 26 and a pin hole 27 corresponding to the bolt hole 56 and the pin hole 57 of the internal fixing body 51 are formed on the end surface 22b of the insertion portion 22 of the output shaft 20. The bolt hole 26 of the output shaft 20 is a screw hole. The internal fixing body 51 may be formed with a bolt hole 56 or a pin hole 57, and correspondingly, the output shaft 20 may be formed with a bolt hole 26 or a pin hole 27. When the internal fixing body 51 and the output shaft 20 are fixed by the parallel pin 59 together with the bolt 58 shown in FIG. 13, the transmission torque of the internal fixing body 51 can be increased by fixing the parallel pin 59.
 このように、内固定体51は、出力軸20の出力側の端部に取り付けられ、減速機2において、力伝達経路の出力側の端に位置することになる。このため、内固定体51は、減速機2が接続される外部機器に接続される出力フランジとしても機能する。減速機2においては、減速機2が取り付けられる外部機器に応じて種々の大きさや形状の内固定体51を選択的に取り付けることができる。 In this way, the internal fixation body 51 is attached to the output side end of the output shaft 20 and is located at the output side end of the force transmission path in the speed reducer 2. Therefore, the internal fixing body 51 also functions as an output flange connected to an external device to which the speed reducer 2 is connected. In the speed reducer 2, the internal fixation body 51 of various sizes and shapes can be selectively attached according to the external device to which the speed reducer 2 is attached.
 図2に示すように、減速機2は遊星歯車機構4を有している。例えば、遊星歯車機構4は、2段の減速機構となっており、第1段の減速機構である太陽歯車65及び遊星歯車64と、第2段の減速機構である太陽歯車63及び遊星歯車61とを有している。第1段の減速機構及び第2段の減速機構は、内歯歯車として共通の内歯62を有している。 As shown in FIG. 2, the speed reducer 2 has a planetary gear mechanism 4. For example, the planetary gear mechanism 4 has a two-stage reduction mechanism, that is, the first-stage reduction mechanism, the sun gear 65 and the planet gear 64, and the second-stage reduction mechanism, the sun gear 63 and the planet gear 61. And have. The first-stage deceleration mechanism and the second-stage deceleration mechanism have common internal teeth 62 as internal gears.
 第1段の太陽歯車65は、ハウジング10の連結部10cの連結軸17に同軸に固定されており、軸線x周りに回動可能になっている。太陽歯車65の周りには少なくとも1つの遊星歯車64が配設されている。本例においては3つの遊星歯車64が配設されている。遊星歯車64は、太陽歯車65と内歯62とに噛み合っている。遊星歯車64は、キャリア66に回転軸64aを介して自転可能に支持されており、キャリア66は軸線x周りに回動可能になっている。これにより、モータ3の出力が連結軸17に伝達されると、太陽歯車65の回転駆動力が遊星歯車64に伝達され、遊星歯車64が自転し、遊星歯車64はこの自転に伴って内歯62に噛み合いながら軸線x周りに公転する。この遊星歯車64の公転によりキャリア66が軸線x周りに回転する。キャリア66からは減速された回転力が伝達可能になる。 The first-stage sun gear 65 is coaxially fixed to the connecting shaft 17 of the connecting portion 10c of the housing 10 and is rotatable around the axis x. At least one planetary gear 64 is arranged around the sun gear 65. In this example, three planetary gears 64 are arranged. The planetary gear 64 meshes with the sun gear 65 and the internal teeth 62. The planetary gear 64 is rotatably supported by a carrier 66 via a rotation shaft 64a, and the carrier 66 is rotatable around an axis x. As a result, when the output of the motor 3 is transmitted to the connecting shaft 17, the rotational driving force of the sun gear 65 is transmitted to the planetary gear 64, the planetary gear 64 rotates, and the planetary gear 64 rotates with the internal teeth. It revolves around the axis x while meshing with 62. The carrier 66 rotates around the axis x due to the revolution of the planetary gear 64. The reduced rotational force can be transmitted from the carrier 66.
 第2段の太陽歯車63は、キャリア66の外側に同軸に固定されており、キャリア66の回動に伴って軸線x周りに回動可能になっている。太陽歯車63の周りには、上述のように、太陽歯車65と内歯62とに噛み合っている遊星歯車61が3つ配設されており、遊星歯車61は、出力軸20の基部21に回転軸61aを介して自転可能に支持されている。図2に示すように、回転軸61aは、出力軸20の基部21の内側面21aから内側に突出しており、遊星歯車61は、基部21の内側に配設されている。基部21の内側面21aは、図7に示すように、基部21の内側に面する面である。 The second-stage sun gear 63 is coaxially fixed to the outside of the carrier 66, and can rotate around the axis x as the carrier 66 rotates. As described above, three planetary gears 61 that mesh with the sun gear 65 and the internal teeth 62 are arranged around the sun gear 63, and the planetary gear 61 rotates on the base 21 of the output shaft 20. It is supported so as to be rotatable via a shaft 61a.

As shown in FIG. 7, the inner side surface 21a of the base portion 21 is a surface facing the inside of the base portion 21.
 これにより、太陽歯車63の回転駆動力が遊星歯車61に伝達され、遊星歯車61が自転し、遊星歯車61はこの自転に伴って内歯62に噛み合いながら軸線x周りに公転する。この遊星歯車61の公転により出力軸20が軸線x周りに回転する。出力軸20からは減速された回転力が伝達可能になる。 As a result, the rotational driving force of the sun gear 63 is transmitted to the planetary gear 61, the planetary gear 61 rotates, and the planetary gear 61 revolves around the axis x while meshing with the internal teeth 62 along with this rotation. The revolution of the planetary gear 61 causes the output shaft 20 to rotate around the axis x. The reduced rotational force can be transmitted from the output shaft 20.

 また、減速機6は、軸受30を出力軸120に固定するための内固定部150を更に備えている。内固定部150は、出力軸120の外周面に形成された環状の内被係合部151と、出力軸120に形成された外周側に突出する部分である内受部としてのフランジ部23と、内被係合部151に係合可能に形成された環状の内係合部154を有する環状の部材である内固定体153とを有している。内受部としてのフランジ部23は、軸線x方向において軸受30の内輪31と接触可能に形成されており、内固定体153は、内係合部154が内被係合部151に係合された際に、軸線x方向において軸受30の内輪31に接触可能に形成されている。 Further, the speed reducer 6 further includes an internal fixing portion 150 for fixing the bearing 30 to the output shaft 120. The inner fixing portion 150 includes an annular inner engaged portion 151 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the output shaft 120, and a flange portion 23 as an inner receiving portion formed on the output shaft 120 that protrudes toward the outer peripheral side. It has an inner fixing body 153 which is an annular member having an annular inner engaging portion 154 formed so as to be engageable with the inner engaged portion 151. The flange portion 23 as the inner receiving portion is formed so as to be in contact with the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 in the axis x direction, and the inner engaging portion 154 of the inner fixing body 153 is engaged with the inner engaged portion 151. At that time, the bearing 30 is formed so as to be in contact with the inner ring 31 in the x direction of the axis.
 図22は、内固定体153を内側から見た斜視図であり、図23は、内固定体153の軸線xに沿う断面における断面図である。図22,23に示すように、内固定体153は、軸線x周りの環状の部材であり、より具体的には、軸線xを中心とする円環状又は略円環状の部材である。 FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the internal fixation body 153 as viewed from the inside, and FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the internal fixation body 153 in a cross section along the axis x. As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the internal fixation body 153 is an annular member around the axis x, and more specifically, an annular member or a substantially annular member centered on the axis x.
 図22,23に示すように、内固定体153は、軸線x方向において内側に面する環状の面(内側面155)を有している。内側面155は、軸線xに直交する平面に沿う平面又は略平面である。また、内固定体153の内周面153aには、内係合部154が形成されている。内固定体153の内周面153a内には突出軸部121が挿入可能になっている。内係合部154は、例えば、雌ねじであり、突出軸部121に形成された内被係合部151としての雄ねじに螺合可能になっている。図示の例では、内固定体153の内周面153a全体に内係合部154としての雌ねじが形成されているが、内係合部154としての雌ねじは、内固定体153の内周面153aの一部に形成されていてもよい。 As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the inner fixed body 153 has an annular surface (inner side surface 155) facing inward in the axis x direction. The inner side surface 155 is a plane or a substantially plane along a plane orthogonal to the axis x. Further, an inner engaging portion 154 is formed on the inner peripheral surface 153a of the inner fixing body 153. The protruding shaft portion 121 can be inserted into the inner peripheral surface 153a of the internal fixing body 153. The inner engaging portion 154 is, for example, a female screw, and can be screwed into a male screw as the inner engaged portion 151 formed on the protruding shaft portion 121. In the illustrated example, the female screw as the inner engaging portion 154 is formed on the entire inner peripheral surface 153a of the inner fixing body 153, but the female screw as the inner engaging portion 154 is the inner peripheral surface 153a of the inner fixing body 153. It may be formed as a part of.
 また、図23に示すように、内固定体153の外側に面する面(外側面156)には、内固定体153の取り付けのために内固定体153を回転されるための工具が係合する溝156aが形成されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 23, a tool for rotating the inner fixing body 153 for attaching the inner fixing body 153 is engaged with the surface (outer surface 156) facing the outside of the inner fixing body 153. A groove 156a is formed.
 図16に示すように、内固定体153の内側面155は、軸受30の内輪31の外側端面31cに対応している。つまり、減速機6において、内固定体153の内係合部154である雌ねじが、出力軸120の突出軸部121の内被係合部151である雄ねじに螺合されて、内固定体153が出力軸120の突出軸部121の端部121aに取り付けられると、内固定体153の内側面155と内輪31の外側端面31cとが軸線x方向において互いに接触するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 16, the inner side surface 155 of the inner fixing body 153 corresponds to the outer end surface 31c of the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30. That is, in the speed reducer 6, the female screw which is the internal engaging portion 154 of the internal fixing body 153 is screwed into the male screw which is the internal engaging portion 151 of the protruding shaft portion 121 of the output shaft 120, and the internal fixing body 153 Is attached to the end portion 121a of the protruding shaft portion 121 of the output shaft 120, the inner side surface 155 of the inner fixing body 153 and the outer end surface 31c of the inner ring 31 come into contact with each other in the axis x direction.
 図16に示すように、減速機6は遊星歯車機構7を有している。例えば、遊星歯車機構7は、上述の遊星歯車機構4と同様に、2段の減速機構となっており、第1段の減速機構である太陽歯車65、遊星歯車64、及び内歯162と、第2段の減速機構である太陽歯車63、遊星歯車61、及び内歯161とを有している。 As shown in FIG. 16, the speed reducer 6 has a planetary gear mechanism 7. For example, the planetary gear mechanism 7 has a two-stage deceleration mechanism similar to the above-mentioned planetary gear mechanism 4, and includes the sun gear 65, the planetary gear 64, and the internal teeth 162, which are the deceleration mechanisms of the first stage. It has a sun gear 63, a planetary gear 61, and internal teeth 161 which are second-stage reduction mechanisms.
 第1段の太陽歯車65は、ハウジング110の第2連結部110d内の連結軸17に同軸に固定されており、軸線x周りに回動可能になっている。太陽歯車65の周りには少なくとも1つの遊星歯車64が配設されている。本例においては3つの遊星歯車64が配設されている。遊星歯車64は、太陽歯車65とハウジング110の内歯部110bに形成された内歯162とに噛み合っている。遊星歯車64は、キャリア66に回転軸64aを介して自転可能に支持されている。キャリア66は軸受67によってハウジング110の内歯部110bに支持されており、軸線x周りに回動可能になっている。これにより、モータ3の出力が連結軸17に伝達されると、太陽歯車65の回転駆動力が遊星歯車64に伝達され、遊星歯車64が自転し、遊星歯車64はこの自転に伴って内歯162に噛み合いながら軸線x周りに公転する。この遊星歯車64の公転によりキャリア66が軸線x周りに回転する。キャリア66からは減速された回転力が伝達可能になる。 The first-stage sun gear 65 is coaxially fixed to the connecting shaft 17 in the second connecting portion 110d of the housing 110, and is rotatable around the axis x. At least one planetary gear 64 is arranged around the sun gear 65. In this example, three planetary gears 64 are arranged. The planetary gear 64 meshes with the sun gear 65 and the internal teeth 162 formed on the internal teeth 110b of the housing 110. The planetary gear 64 is rotatably supported by the carrier 66 via a rotation shaft 64a. The carrier 66 is supported by the bearing 67 on the internal tooth portion 110b of the housing 110, and is rotatable around the axis x. As a result, when the output of the motor 3 is transmitted to the connecting shaft 17, the rotational driving force of the sun gear 65 is transmitted to the planetary gear 64, the planetary gear 64 rotates, and the planetary gear 64 rotates with the internal teeth. It revolves around the axis x while meshing with 162. The carrier 66 rotates around the axis x due to the revolution of the planetary gear 64. The reduced rotational force can be transmitted from the carrier 66.
 第2段の太陽歯車63は、キャリア66の外側に同軸に固定されており、キャリア66の回動に伴って軸線x周りに回動可能になっている。太陽歯車63の周りには、太陽歯車63とハウジング110の軸支持部110aに形成された内歯161とに噛み合っている遊星歯車61が3つ配設されている。これにより、太陽歯車63の回転駆動力が遊星歯車61に伝達され、遊星歯車61が自転し、遊星歯車61はこの自転に伴って内歯161に噛み合いながら軸線x周りに公転する。この遊星歯車61の公転により出力軸120が軸線x周りに回動する。出力軸120からは減速された回転力が伝達可能になる。図示の例においては、内歯161は、ハウジング110(軸支持部110a)の内周面(根元部161a)に直接形成されているが、内歯161は、ハウジング110(軸支持部110a)の内周面(根元部161a)に直接形成されていなくてもよく、例えば、内歯161は、ハウジング110とは別の部品に形成されて、この部品がハウジング110に取り付けられることにより、ハウジング110に内歯161が設けられるようにしてもよい。 The second-stage sun gear 63 is coaxially fixed to the outside of the carrier 66, and can rotate around the axis x as the carrier 66 rotates. Around the sun gear 63, three planetary gears 61 that mesh with the sun gear 63 and the internal teeth 161 formed on the shaft support portion 110a of the housing 110 are arranged. As a result, the rotational driving force of the sun gear 63 is transmitted to the planetary gear 61, the planetary gear 61 rotates, and the planetary gear 61 revolves around the axis x while meshing with the internal teeth 161 along with the rotation. The revolution of the planetary gear 61 causes the output shaft 120 to rotate around the axis x. The reduced rotational force can be transmitted from the output shaft 120. In the illustrated example, the internal teeth 161 are formed directly on the inner peripheral surface (root portion 161a) of the housing 110 (shaft support portion 110a), whereas the internal teeth 161 are formed on the housing 110 (shaft support portion 110a). It does not have to be formed directly on the inner peripheral surface (root portion 161a). For example, the internal teeth 161 are formed in a component different from the housing 110, and this component is attached to the housing 110 to form the housing 110. The internal tooth 161 may be provided in the housing.
 図16に示すように、太陽歯車63の内側の端部63aは、太陽歯車63が軸線x方向に移動した際に、出力軸120の空間122の内側の開口122aを塞ぐ壁板123において、出力軸120に接触するようになっている。上述のように、壁板123は耐摩耗性に優れた部材であり、このため、回転している太陽歯車63の端部63aが壁板123に接触し摺動したとしても、壁板123の摩耗が防止又は抑制される。このように、出力軸120は、空間122によって軽量化が図られつつ、摩耗対策もなされている。また、空間122の開口122aを塞ぐ壁板123において摩耗対策をすればよく、出力軸120の内側面21a全体において摩耗対策をする必要がない。 As shown in FIG. 16, the inner end 63a of the sun gear 63 outputs at the wall plate 123 that closes the inner opening 122a of the space 122 of the output shaft 120 when the sun gear 63 moves in the axis x direction. It comes into contact with the shaft 120. As described above, the wall plate 123 is a member having excellent wear resistance. Therefore, even if the end portion 63a of the rotating sun gear 63 comes into contact with the wall plate 123 and slides, the wall plate 123 Wear is prevented or suppressed. As described above, the output shaft 120 is reduced in weight by the space 122, and wear countermeasures are also taken. Further, it is sufficient to take measures against wear in the wall plate 123 that closes the opening 122a of the space 122, and it is not necessary to take measures against wear on the entire inner side surface 21a of the output shaft 120.

 図24,25に示すように、内側から出力軸120の挿入部22が軸受30の内輪31に挿入され、内固定体153内に内側から出力軸120の突出軸部121が挿入されるように、出力軸120に対して外側から内固定体153を移動させる。突出軸部121が挿入された内固定体153を突出軸部121に沿って内側に移動させていくと、内固定体153の内係合部154である雌ねじが、突出軸部121に形成された内被係合部151としての雄ねじに噛み合う。そして、内固定体153を回転させて、内固定体153の雌ねじ154を突出軸部121の雄ねじ151に螺合させていくと、内固定体153の内側面155が内輪31の外側端面31cに接触し、内固定体153が突出軸部121に固定される。このとき、内固定体153の内側面155が内輪31の外側端面31cを内側に押し、内輪31の内側端面31aは出力軸120のフランジ部23の内受面23aに押し付けられる。これにより、内固定体153の内側面155と出力軸120のフランジ部23の内受面23aとの間に内輪31が挟持され、出力軸120が軸受30に固定される。フランジ部23の内受面23aと内固定体153の内側面155との間に内輪31が挟持されるように、出力軸120の挿入部22の軸線x方向の幅や、突出軸部121における雄ねじ151の位置が調整されている。 As shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the insertion portion 22 of the output shaft 120 is inserted into the inner ring 31 of the bearing 30 from the inside, and the protruding shaft portion 121 of the output shaft 120 is inserted into the inner fixing body 153 from the inside. , The internal fixation body 153 is moved from the outside with respect to the output shaft 120. When the internal fixing body 153 into which the protruding shaft portion 121 is inserted is moved inward along the protruding shaft portion 121, a female screw which is an internal engaging portion 154 of the internal fixing body 153 is formed on the protruding shaft portion 121. It meshes with the male screw as the inner engaged portion 151. Then, when the internal fixing body 153 is rotated and the female screw 154 of the internal fixing body 153 is screwed into the male screw 151 of the protruding shaft portion 121, the inner side surface 155 of the inner fixing body 153 becomes the outer end surface 31c of the inner ring 31. Upon contact, the internal fixation body 153 is fixed to the protruding shaft portion 121. At this time, the inner side surface 155 of the inner fixing body 153 pushes the outer end surface 31c of the inner ring 31 inward, and the inner end surface 31a of the inner ring 31 is pressed against the inner receiving surface 23a of the flange portion 23 of the output shaft 120. As a result, the inner ring 31 is sandwiched between the inner side surface 155 of the inner fixing body 153 and the inner receiving surface 23a of the flange portion 23 of the output shaft 120, and the output shaft 120 is fixed to the bearing 30. The width of the insertion portion 22 of the output shaft 120 in the axis x direction and the protrusion shaft portion 121 so that the inner ring 31 is sandwiched between the inner receiving surface 23a of the flange portion 23 and the inner side surface 155 of the inner fixing body 153. The position of the male screw 151 is adjusted.
 減速機6においても、上述の減速機2における外固定部40による出力軸20の固定のように、外固定体40によって軸受30を介する出力軸120のハウジング110への固定がなされる。具体的には図24,25に示すように、軸受30の外輪32は、ハウジング110の軸支持部110aの開口部112の軸受嵌合面12cに嵌められ、外輪32の内側端面32bが外受部142に接触するまで軸受30が軸受嵌合面12c内に挿入される。そして、外固定体43の雄ねじである外係合部44がハウジング110の開口部112の雌ねじである外被係合部41に螺合させられ、外固定体43を回転させて外固定体43を内側に移動させていく。外固定体43の端面45bが軸受30の外輪32の外側端面32aに接触するまで外固定体43を回転させ、外固定体43がハウジング110に固定される。これにより、外固定体43の端面45bは外輪32の外側端面32aに押し付けられ、一方、ハウジング110の外受部142は外輪32の内側端面32bに押し付けられ、外固定体43の端面45bと外受部142との間に外輪32が挟持される。これにより、出力軸120が固定された軸受30がハウジング110に固定され、出力軸120がハウジング110に固定される。なお、外固定体43の端面45bとハウジング110の外受部142との間に外輪32が挟持されるように、ハウジング110における外被係合部41と外受部142との間の軸線x方向の間隔や、外固定体43の段差45cの軸線x方向の幅が調整されている。 Also in the speed reducer 6, the output shaft 120 is fixed to the housing 110 via the bearing 30 by the external fixing body 40, as in the case of fixing the output shaft 20 by the external fixing portion 40 in the speed reducer 2 described above. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, the outer ring 32 of the bearing 30 is fitted to the bearing fitting surface 12c of the opening 112 of the shaft support portion 110a of the housing 110, and the inner end surface 32b of the outer ring 32 is externally received. The bearing 30 is inserted into the bearing fitting surface 12c until it comes into contact with the portion 142. Then, the outer engaging portion 44, which is a male screw of the outer fixing body 43, is screwed into the outer covering portion 41, which is a female screw of the opening 112 of the housing 110, and the outer fixing body 43 is rotated to rotate the outer fixing body 43. To move inward. The outer fixing body 43 is rotated until the end surface 45b of the outer fixing body 43 comes into contact with the outer end surface 32a of the outer ring 32 of the bearing 30, and the outer fixing body 43 is fixed to the housing 110. As a result, the end surface 45b of the outer fixing body 43 is pressed against the outer end surface 32a of the outer ring 32, while the outer receiving portion 142 of the housing 110 is pressed against the inner end surface 32b of the outer ring 32, and the end surface 45b and the outer side of the outer fixing body 43 are pressed. The outer ring 32 is sandwiched between the receiving portion 142 and the receiving portion 142. As a result, the bearing 30 to which the output shaft 120 is fixed is fixed to the housing 110, and the output shaft 120 is fixed to the housing 110. The axis x between the outer engagement portion 41 and the outer receiving portion 142 in the housing 110 so that the outer ring 32 is sandwiched between the end surface 45b of the outer fixing body 43 and the outer receiving portion 142 of the housing 110. The distance between the directions and the width of the step 45c of the external fixing body 43 in the axis x direction are adjusted.
 図18や図25に示すように、ハウジング110の軸受部110aに形成された外受部142は、内歯161が形成されている部分である内歯161の根元部161aの外側の端面となっている。つまり、内歯161は、内歯161よりも外周側に位置すると共に開口111につながる軸受嵌合面12cに軸線x方向において隣接している。このため、軸受部110aの貫通加工により内歯161を加工することができ、内歯161の加工が容易になっている。また、この構造により、軸支持部110aの開口部112の軸線x方向における幅や径を大きくすることができる。また、上述の減速機2の場合と同様に、出力軸120に軸受30及び遊星歯車161を組み付けた状態で出力軸120を軸受部110aに取り付けることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 18 and 25, the external receiving portion 142 formed in the bearing portion 110a of the housing 110 serves as an outer end surface of the root portion 161a of the internal teeth 161 which is a portion in which the internal teeth 161 are formed. ing. That is, the internal teeth 161 are located on the outer peripheral side of the internal teeth 161 and are adjacent to the bearing fitting surface 12c connected to the opening 111 in the axis x direction. Therefore, the internal teeth 161 can be processed by the through processing of the bearing portion 110a, and the internal teeth 161 can be easily processed. Further, with this structure, the width and diameter of the opening 112 of the shaft support portion 110a in the axis x direction can be increased. Further, as in the case of the speed reducer 2 described above, the output shaft 120 can be attached to the bearing portion 110a in a state where the bearing 30 and the planetary gear 161 are assembled to the output shaft 120.
