Definitions
- the present invention relates to a linear actuator equipped with a ball screw device.
- the linear actuator is a device equipped with a ball screw device that converts rotary motion into linear motion.
- a linear actuator when the nut rotates, the amount of protrusion of the screw shaft protruding from the nut changes. As a result, the object attached to the end of the screw shaft is displaced in the axial direction.
- An object attached to the end of the screw shaft is a piston.
- Such a linear actuator is used for a brake booster, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1.
- the linear actuator is provided with a stroke limiting mechanism. According to this stroke limiting mechanism, the movement start time point (operation start time point) of the screw shaft can be made constant.
- a protrusion is provided on the end face of the nut.
- a detent member is attached to the end of the screw shaft.
- the detent member has a locking portion that projects radially outward from the end of the screw shaft.
- the detent member is separate from the screw shaft. Further, since the detent member is attached to the screw shaft, the weight becomes an obstacle when improving the operability of the linear actuator. Further, since the detent member is attached to the end of the screw shaft, a space for arranging the screw shaft and the detent member is required.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a linear actuator capable of reducing the number of parts, reducing the weight, and reducing the size.
- the linear actuator includes a ball screw device having a screw shaft, a nut, and a plurality of balls, a piston attached to one end of the screw shaft, and the above. It has a stroke limiting mechanism that sets the operation start time point of the screw shaft in the first direction pointed to by one end.
- the nut has one end surface facing the first direction and a protrusion protruding from the one end surface.
- the piston faces a second direction opposite to the first direction, has a facing surface facing the one end surface, and a relief groove portion recessed in the first direction from the facing surface and extending in the rotational direction about the screw axis.
- a stepped surface that is arranged at one end of the relief groove portion in the rotation direction of the wall surface surrounding the relief groove portion and faces the other in the rotation direction. The protrusion and the stepped surface are in contact with each other to form the stroke limiting mechanism.
- the piston is provided with a stepped surface instead of the detent member. Therefore, the number of parts is reduced. In addition, the operability of the linear actuator is improved by making the screw shaft lighter than before. In addition, since it does not have a detent member, the linear actuator can be miniaturized. Further, the load input to the stepped surface due to the contact with the protrusion is dispersed to the piston. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the concentration of stress on the portion where the stepped surface is provided.
- the piston has a bottom surface surrounding the relief groove portion from the first direction of the wall surface surrounding the relief groove portion. At least a part of the bottom surface is inclined and spiral so as to be located in the first direction toward one of the rotation directions.
- the amount of the recess in the relief groove can be reduced as compared with the case where the amount of the recess in the relief groove is constant in the circumferential direction. That is, it is suppressed that the volume of the piston becomes small. As a result, the load input to the stepped surface is easily dispersed, and the concentration of stress is suppressed.
- the piston has a bottom surface surrounding the relief groove portion from the first direction of the wall surface surrounding the relief groove portion. At least a part of the bottom surface is gradually located in the first direction toward one of the rotation directions, and has a stepped shape.
- the amount of the recess in the relief groove can be reduced as compared with the case where the amount of the recess in the relief groove is constant in the circumferential direction. That is, it is suppressed that the volume of the piston becomes small. As a result, the load input to the stepped surface is easily dispersed, and the concentration of stress is suppressed.
- the piston has a bottom surface surrounding the relief groove portion from the first direction of the wall surface surrounding the relief groove portion. At least a part of the bottom surface may be a flat surface.
- the piston may have a stopper whose surface facing the other in the rotation direction is the stepped surface.
- the piston is located radially inside the stopper, and is provided with a fitting hole that opens in the second direction and fits one end of the screw shaft. It has an inner cylinder. The radial inner end of the stopper is connected to the inner cylinder portion.
- the load acting on the stopper is dispersed in the inner cylinder portion. Therefore, the concentration of stress on the stopper is suppressed.
- the piston has an outer cylinder portion that is located radially outside the stopper and whose outer peripheral surface slides on the housing. The radial outer end of the stopper is connected to the outer cylinder portion.
- the load acting on the stopper is distributed to the outer cylinder portion. Therefore, the concentration of stress on the stopper is suppressed.
- the piston has a first end face facing the first direction.
- the pressing surface is provided with a ridge protruding in the first direction at a position overlapping the relief groove portion when viewed from the axial direction.
- the amount of protrusion of the ridge corresponds to the amount of depression of the relief groove portion.
- the thickness of the portion where the relief groove portion is formed can be made uniform in the axial direction. Further, since the stepped surface and the stopper are covered with the outer cylinder portion, the stepped surface and the stopper cannot be visually recognized when assembling to the screw shaft. Therefore, when assembling the screw shaft, it becomes difficult to determine the phase of the stepped surface and the stopper. However, the phase of the stepped surface and the stopper can be grasped from the shape of the ridge. Therefore, when assembling the screw shaft, it becomes easy to determine the phase of the stepped surface and the stopper.
- the protrusion has a contact surface that abuts on the stepped surface.
- the stepped surface is parallel to the first virtual line extending in the radial direction when viewed from the axial direction parallel to the screw axis, and is arranged on the other side in the rotational direction.
- the contact surface is parallel to the second virtual line extending in the radial direction when viewed from the axial direction, and is arranged on the other side in the rotation direction.
- the distance between the stepped surface and the first virtual line is larger than the distance between the contact surface and the second virtual line.
- the stepped surface and the contact surface are in contact with each other at the inner portion in the radial direction. Therefore, it is difficult for the load to act on the radial outer portions of the stepped surface and the contact surface.
- the nut is made of an iron-based material.
- the piston is made of an aluminum alloy.
- the stepped surface (piston) is more likely to be plastically deformed.
- the number of parts can be reduced, the weight can be reduced, and the size can be reduced.

- the direction in which the piston 120 is arranged when viewed from the nut 111 of the ball screw device 110 is referred to as a first direction X1
- the direction opposite to the first direction X1 is referred to as a second direction X2.
- the motor 101 includes a stator (not shown), a rotor (not shown), and an output shaft 101a.
- the motor 101 is supplied with electric power from a power source (not shown) to rotate the rotor and the output shaft 101a.

- the transmission device 102 includes a first gear 104 that fits on the output shaft 101a of the motor 101, and a second gear 105 that fits on the outer peripheral side of the nut 111.
- the second gear 105 is a gear having a larger diameter than the first gear 104. Therefore, the transmission device 102 decelerates the rotational motion generated by the motor 101 and transmits it to the nut 111.
- the ball screw device 110 includes a nut 111, a screw shaft 112, and a plurality of balls 113.
- the nut 111 has a cylindrical shape centered on the axis O.
- An inner peripheral raceway surface 111a is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the nut 111.
- the nut 111 is supported by a bearing 106 that fits on the inner peripheral surface of the housing 103. As a result, the nut 111 is rotatable about the axis O of the screw shaft 112.
- the rotation direction of the nut 111 will be described with reference to the case where the nut 111 is viewed from the first direction X1. Then, as shown in FIG. 2, when viewed from the first direction X1, the counterclockwise rotation direction about the axis O is referred to as the first rotation direction L1. The clockwise rotation direction around the axis O is referred to as the second rotation direction L2.
- the nut 111 has one end surface 116 facing the first direction X1.
- the one end surface 116 is provided with a protrusion 117 projecting in the first direction X1.
- the protrusion 117 has a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the axial direction.
- the protrusion 117 has a contact surface 118 facing the first rotation direction L1.
- the screw shaft 112 is a solid shaft component that penetrates the nut 111.
- the screw shaft 112 includes a screw shaft main body 114 having an outer peripheral raceway surface 114a on the outer peripheral surface, and a mounting portion 115 extending from the end surface of the screw shaft main body 114 in the first direction X1 to the first direction X1.
- the screw shaft main body 114 is supported by the housing 103 so as to be movable in the axial direction and non-rotatable around the axis O.
- a spiral orbit is formed between the inner orbital plane 111a and the outer orbital plane 114a.
- a plurality of balls 113 are arranged in this spiral orbit.
- the inner peripheral raceway surface 111a presses the outer peripheral raceway surface 114a axially via the ball 113.
- the screw shaft 112 moves in the axial direction.
- the screw shaft 112 moves in the first direction X1.
- the screw shaft 112 moves in the second direction X2.
- the mounting portion 115 has a smaller diameter than the screw shaft main body 114. Therefore, at the boundary between the mounting portion 115 and the screw shaft main body 114, an annular step surface 115a facing the first direction X1 is provided.
- the piston 120 is a columnar part arranged coaxially with the axis O.
- the piston 120 is preferably manufactured by forging, but may be formed by a known processing method such as cutting.
- the piston 120 is located inside the cylinder 107 and near the end of the second direction X2.
- the cylinder 107 of the present embodiment is integrally provided in the housing 103, in the present disclosure, the cylinder 107 and the housing 103 may be separate bodies.
- a brake fluid (not shown) is contained inside the cylinder 107.
- the piston 120 includes a first end face 121 facing the first direction X1 and a second end face 122 facing the second direction X2.
- the first end surface 121 is provided with a concave surface 121a recessed in the second direction X2.
- the concave surface 121a faces the bottom surface 107b of the cylinder 107.
- a coil spring (not shown) is arranged between the concave surface 121a and the bottom surface 107b.
- the piston of the present disclosure may not be provided with the concave surface 121a.
- a fitting hole 123 that opens in the second direction X2 is provided in the central portion of the second end surface 122.
- a mounting portion 115 one end of the screw shaft 112 is inserted into the fitting hole 123 (see FIG. 1).
- the inner diameter of the fitting hole 123 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the mounting portion 115, and a tightening allowance is provided. Therefore, the piston 120 moves in the axial direction integrally with the screw shaft 112 without being separated from the screw shaft 112.
- the portion of the piston 120 that fits with the mounting portion 115 (the tubular wall portion that surrounds the outer peripheral side of the fitting hole 123) is referred to as the inner cylinder portion 124.
- the end surface 124a of the inner cylinder portion 124 in the second direction X2 is in contact with the annular step surface 115a of the screw shaft 112.

- the outer diameter of the piston 120 is larger than the outer diameter of the nut 111.
- the second end surface 122 of the piston 120 is provided with an annular outer cylinder portion 125 that projects in the second direction X2 and surrounds the outer peripheral side of the nut 111. That is, the outer peripheral surface of the piston 120 is extended in the second direction X2 by the outer cylinder portion 125. Therefore, even if the piston 120 moves in the first direction X1, the outer cylinder portion 125 and the sealing member 108 are in sliding contact with each other, and the sealing property is maintained.
- a part of the second end surface 122 of the piston 120 is a facing surface 126 facing the one end surface 116 of the nut 111.
- the facing surface 126 is located on the radial outside of the inner cylinder portion 124 and on the radial inside of the outer cylinder portion 125.
- a part of the facing surface 126 is provided with a relief groove portion 127 recessed in the first direction X1.
- the relief groove portion 127 extends in the rotational direction about the axial center O and has an arc shape (C-shape) when viewed from the axial direction.
- the relief groove portion 127 is a space for avoiding contact with the protrusion portion 117 of the nut 111.
- the wall surface surrounding the relief groove portion 127 from the first direction X1 is referred to as a bottom surface 129.
- the recess amount (depth) of the relief groove portion 127 gradually increases from the facing surface 126 toward the first rotation direction L1. Therefore, the bottom surface 129 of the relief groove portion 127 is also a spiral helicoid surface that is located in the first direction X1 toward the first rotation direction L1.
- a stepped surface 130 between the facing surface 126 and the bottom surface 129 is provided at the end of the relief groove portion 127 in the first rotation direction L1.
- a ridge line 131 which is a boundary line between the facing surface 126 and the bottom surface 129 is provided.
- the escape groove portion 127 is a space for avoiding contact with the protrusion portion 117 as described above. Therefore, the inclination angle of the bottom surface 129 of the relief groove portion 127 is set to be the same as the inclination angle of the inner peripheral raceway surface 111a (see FIG. 1), or set to be larger than the inclination angle of the inner peripheral raceway surface 111a. ..
- the portion of the facing surface 126 where the escape groove portion 127 is not provided is a stopper 128.
- the stopper 128 has a stepped surface 130 on the side surface in the second rotation direction L2.
- the stopper 128 has a substantially trapezoidal shape when viewed from the axial direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the stopper 128 has an inner end portion in the radial direction connected to the inner cylinder portion 124.
- the stopper 128 has a radial outer end connected to the outer cylinder portion 125.
- the operation of the linear actuator 100 of the first embodiment will be described.
- the rotational motion is transmitted to the nut 111 via the transmission device 102.
- the nut 111 rotates.
- the rotation direction of the nut 111 is the second rotation direction L2
- the screw shaft 112 moves in the first direction X1.
- the piston 120 also moves in the first direction X1, and the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid increases.
- the hydraulic pressure of the brake fluid is transmitted to the external device through the through hole 107a.

Further, even in the modified example 5, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.

According to this, when the protrusion 117 and the stepped surface 130E come into contact with each other, the stepped surface 130E is more easily deformed. Therefore, the flattening (plastic deformation) of the stepped surface 130E can be accelerated. Further, by using the aluminum alloy, a damping effect (vibration absorption) is generated when the contact surface 118 of the protrusion 117 comes into contact with the contact surface 118.

Description
実施形態1の直動アクチュエータ100は、車両に搭載され、ブレーキペダルの踏み込み量に対応した液圧を生成するブレーキブースタである。図1に示すように、直動アクチュエータ100は、モータ101と、伝達装置102と、ハウジング103と、ボールねじ装置110と、ピストン120と、ストローク制限機構140と、を備えている。
図5は、変形例1のピストンを第2方向から斜視した斜視図である。変形例1のピストン120Aにおいて、逃げ溝部127Aの窪み量は、周方向に一定となっている。つまり、逃げ溝部127Aの底面129Aは、回転方向に向かって平坦な平坦面となっている。この変形例1であっても、実施形態1と同様に、回り止め部材が不要となり、部品点数の削減と直動アクチュエータの小型化を図れる。
図6は、変形例2のピストンを第2方向から斜視した斜視図である。図6に示すように、変形例2のピストン120Bにおいて、逃げ溝部127Bの底面129Bは、螺旋状の螺旋面129aと、平坦な平坦面129bと、を有している。つまり、稜線131から第1回転方向L1に螺旋面129aが延在し、螺旋面129aの第1回転方向L1の端部から、第1回転方向L1に平坦面129bが延在している。このような変形例2であっても、実施形態1と同様の効果を得ることができる。つまり、本開示の底面は、2種類以上の面が組み合わせられてもよい。
図7は、変形例3のピストンを第2方向から斜視した斜視図である。図7に示すように、変形例3のピストン120Cの逃げ溝部127Cは、対向面126からの窪み量(深さ)が第1回転方向L1に向かうにつれて段階的に大きくなっている。つまり、逃げ溝部127Cの底面129Cは、第1回転方向L1に向かうにつれて段階的に第1方向X1に位置する、階段状の階段面となっている。このような変形例3であっても、実施形態1と同様の効果を得ることができる。
図8は、変形例4のピストンを第2方向から斜視した斜視図である。図8に示すように、変形例4のピストン120Dにおいて、逃げ溝部127Dの底面129Dは、螺旋面129aと、段差面131Aと、平坦面129bと、の組み合わせとなっている。つまり、逃げ溝部127Dの窪み量が途中で大きく変化し、段差面131Aが形成されている。これによれば、ストッパ128の第1回転方向L1に肉厚の補強部131Dが一部残っている。よって、変形例4においては、実施形態1のピストン120よりも軽量化が図れ、一方で変形例1のピストン120Aよりも応力の集中が抑制される形状となっている。
図9は、変形例5のピストンを第2方向から視た平面図である。図9に示すように、変形例5のピストン120Eの段差面130Eは、第2方向X2から視て円弧状を成している。つまり、段差面130Eの径方向の中央部132は、第2回転方向L2に突出している。よって、突起部117とストッパ128Eとの接触の際、段差面130Eの中央部132に当接面118が接触する。そして、接触を繰り返すと、段差面130Eの中央部132が次第に潰れ、段差面130Eが平坦面となる。以上から、変形例5によれば、段差面130Eは、突起部117の当接面118との接触個所が次第に大きくなる形状となっている。また、変形例5であっても、実施形態1と同様の効果を得ることができる。
図10は、変形例6のピストンを軸方向に切った断面図である。図10に示すように変形例6のピストン120Fは、段差面130と底面129との隅部133がR形状となっている。これによれば、隅部133の部分の体積が増え、応力の集中を抑制することができる。
図11は、変形例7のピストンを第2方向から視た平面図である。図12は、変形例7のナットを第1方向から視た平面図である。図13は、変形例7の直動アクチュエータにおいてストッパと突起部とが接触した状態を示す断面図である。図14は、比較例の直動アクチュエータにおいてストッパと突起部とが接触した状態を示す断面図である。
図15は、変形例8のピストンを第1方向から視た平面図である。図15に示すように、変形例8のピストン120Hの第1端面121には、第1方向X1に突出する突条134が設けられている。突条134は、回転方向に延在し、円弧状(C字状)となっている。突条134は、軸方向から視て逃げ溝部127(図3参照)と重なっている。よって、突条134の回転方向の両端部の間に配置される平面137は、ストッパ128(図3、図4参照)と重なっている。
図16は、実施形態2の実施形態に係る直動アクチュエータの断面図である。図17は、実施形態2のナットの斜視図である。図18は、実施形態2のピストンの斜視図である。図1は、実施形態に係る直動アクチュエータ1の断面図である。図16に示すように、直動アクチュエータ1は、ボールねじ装置2と、ストローク制限機構3と、ピストン4と、モータ5と、ハウジング6と、を有する。
