Description

  The present invention relates to a motor that realizes miniaturization of a motor and securing a sufficient moment of inertia of a rotor, and an impact rotary tool equipped with the motor.

  The downsizing and weight reduction of motors are being promoted along with higher performance of magnets and method innovation. For example, an impact used for tightening bolts, nuts, screws, etc. by rotating a bit attached to the tip with an impact torque obtained by giving impact (impact) in the rotation direction by a hammer rotated by a motor Also in a rotary tool, in order to improve a user's usability, it is requested | required to mount the motor reduced in size as mentioned above and reduced in weight.

  However, when trying to reduce the size and weight of the motor, it is required to reduce the weight of the rotor core that occupies a large weight in the motor. When the weight of the iron core is reduced, the mass of the rotor is reduced, so that the moment of inertia of the rotor is reduced. Therefore, if a motor that has reduced the moment of inertia in favor of miniaturization and weight reduction is mounted on the impact rotary tool as described above, a large impact torque cannot be obtained, which reduces the performance as a tool. There was a problem such as.

Therefore, paying attention to the cooling fan mounted on the motor, a method of increasing the moment of inertia by changing the size of the cooling fan has been devised (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP-A 63-305733

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the moment of inertia is increased and adjusted by changing the diameter dimension of the fan support main plate and side plate of the cooling fan, or the thickness dimension thereof, the cooling fan itself Since a large design change of changing dimensions is required, there is a problem that the structure becomes complicated, the design process becomes longer, and the manufacturing cost increases with the longer time.

  Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve the above-described problems, and increases the moment of inertia of the motor with a very simple configuration while realizing a reduction in size and weight of the motor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a motor capable of performing the above and an impact rotary tool equipped with the motor.

  The motor of the present invention includes a rotor having a rotating shaft and a magnetic circuit member fixed to the rotating shaft, a stator having a magnetic circuit, and a cooling fan fixed to the rotating shaft. , Having a plurality of wings extending in the direction of rotation of the rotating shaft, radially extending from the rotating shaft so as to be larger than the outer shape of the magnetic circuit member of the rotor, and orthogonal to the rotating shaft The above-mentioned problem is solved by providing a plate-like member that is fixed to be larger than the magnetic circuit member outer shape of the rotor.

  Moreover, the motor of this invention solves the above-mentioned subject by forming the opening part which lets the flow of the air caused by rotation of the said cooling fan pass in the said plate-shaped member.

  In the motor of the present invention, a magnet for detecting a rotation angle of the rotor that generates a predetermined magnetic flux is provided on the plate-like member, and is fixed in the vicinity of the magnet for detecting the rotation angle in the same manner as the stator. A rotation angle used for rotation control of the rotor by detecting the magnetic flux generated by the rotation angle detection magnet, which changes when the plate-like member rotates together with the rotor. By detecting the above, the above-mentioned problem is solved.

  Further, in the motor of the present invention, the rotation angle detection opening of the rotor is formed in the plate member, and the rotation angle detection opening formed in the plate member is sandwiched between the rotation angle detection opening and the rotation angle detection opening. A light source fixed in the same manner as the stator and an optical sensor that receives light emitted from the light source through the rotation angle detection opening, and the plate-like member rotates together with the rotor. The above-mentioned problem is solved by detecting the rotation angle used for the rotation control of the rotor by detecting the amount of light emitted from the light source that changes by the optical sensor.

  The impact rotating tool of the present invention has a main rotating member and a driven rotating member, and when the load torque applied to the driven rotating member is small, the main rotating member and the driven rotating member. When the moving member is integrally rotated and the load torque is increased, the main driving side rotating member and the driven side rotating member are once separated and then integrated again by the return means. Impact of applying driving torque impactively by inertial force accompanying rotation of the main rotation side rotation member from the main rotation side rotation member to the driven side rotation member when being integrated again by the return means The above-described problem is solved by mounting the motor according to any one of claims 1 to 4 in which the main drive side rotation member is rotated in a rotary tool.

  According to the present invention, by providing a plate-like member having a shape larger than the outer shape of the magnetic circuit member of the rotor of the motor, the mass of the iron core of the magnetic circuit member is reduced, that is, the motor It is possible to easily increase the moment of inertia while reducing the size and weight.

  Moreover, according to this invention, by forming an opening part in a plate-shaped member, while the freedom degree of installation of a plate-shaped member becomes high, the cooling effect of a cooling fan can be kept favorable.

  In addition, according to the present invention, since the rotation angle can be detected using a plate-like member provided for the purpose of improving the moment of inertia, there is no need to separately provide a separate member dedicated to detection on the stator. Enables effective use.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, a motor with an increased moment of inertia can be mounted on an impact rotary tool with a very simple configuration while realizing a reduction in size and weight. Therefore, the impact rotary tool itself is also reduced in size and weight, so that the user's feeling of use can be enhanced and sufficient impact torque can be applied, and high performance as a tool can be exhibited.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, an impact rotary tool 1 shown as an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a transparent view showing the main components of the impact rotary tool 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the impact rotary tool 1 includes a tool main body 2 on which main components are mounted, and a battery unit 3 on which a rechargeable battery for supplying power to the tool main body 2 is mounted. The tool body 2 includes a motor body 10, a cooling fan 30 that cools the motor body 10, a speed reducer 40, an impact block 50 that is an impact torque generation mechanism, a bit 60, and a plate-like member 70. Yes. The impact rotary tool 1 pulls the trigger switch 4 so that power is supplied from the battery unit 3 to the motor body 10 to rotate the motor body 10. Then, after the rotational force of the motor main body 10 is decelerated to an appropriate speed by the speed reducer 40 via the rotating shaft 11, it is converted into an impact torque by the impact block 50 and transmitted to the bit 60, and the screw tightening torque. Become.

  Here, the impact block 50 which is an impact torque generating mechanism will be described. The impact torque generating mechanism basically has a main drive side rotating member and a driven side rotary member, and when the load torque applied to the driven side rotary member is small, the main drive side rotary member and the driven side rotating member are provided. When the driving member is integrally rotated and the load torque increases, the main driving side rotating member and the driven side rotating member are once separated and then integrated again by the returning means. This is a mechanism that, when reintegrated, applies a driving torque shockingly from the main driving side rotating member to the driven side rotating member by the inertial force accompanying the rotation of the main driving side rotating member.

  The impact block 50 of the impact rotary tool 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a configuration in which the hammer 51 is used as the main driving side rotation member, the anvil 52 is used as the driven side rotation member, and the spring is used as the return means.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the hammer 51 is a substantially cylindrical member having a striking portion 51a protruding on the surface on the output shaft 55 side, and is driven through a cam mechanism containing a steel ball (not shown). The shaft 54 is rotatably fitted on the shaft 54. The hammer 51 is restricted from moving relative to the drive shaft 54 in the axial direction and moving around the axis by the cam mechanism. As shown in FIG. 2A, the hammer 51 is urged toward the output shaft 55 by a spring 53.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the anvil 52 is a member that includes a ring-shaped base portion 52a connected to the output shaft 55, and a hit portion 52b that protrudes outward from the base portion 52a. In the axial direction, the hit portion 52 b is disposed at a position overlapping the hit portion 51 a of the hammer 51. Thereby, when the hammer 51 rotates, the hitting part 51a of the hammer 51 hits the hit part 52b of the anvil 52 to generate an impact torque.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, when the load (torque) on the output shaft 55 side where the bolts and nuts are mounted is small, the rotational force of the drive shaft 54 is applied to the hammer 51 via a cam mechanism (not shown). Further, it is transmitted to the output shaft 55 through the engagement between the striking portion 51 a of the hammer 51 and the hit portion 52 b of the anvil 52.

  As shown in FIG. 2C, when the load applied to the output shaft 55 is increased, the hammer 51 rotates relative to the drive shaft 54. At this time, the hammer 51 is moved by the cam mechanism (not shown). It moves (retreats) toward the motor body 10 against the urging force, and the engagement between the striking portion 51a of the hammer 51 and the hit portion 52b of the anvil 52 is released. When the hitting part 51a gets over the hit part 52b, the hammer 51 is moved to the output shaft 55 side by the guidance of a cam mechanism (not shown) by the urging force of the spring 53.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2 (d), the hammer 51 is re-engaged with the hit portion 52b of the anvil 52 by the rotation of the hammer 51, and the hit portion 52b is impacted in the rotational direction. give. The impact block 50, which is an impact torque generation mechanism, transmits the impact torque to the bit 60 by repeating the above operation.

  Thus, although the type using the hammer 51 and the anvil 52 is employ | adopted as the impact block 50, this invention is not limited to this, For example, a magnetic force and a frictional force are utilized as an impact torque generation mechanism. Various types of impact torque generation mechanisms such as a type and a type using a screw mechanism can be used.

  Next, a motor composed of the motor main body 10, the cooling fan 30, and the plate member 70 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an overall image of the motor composed of the motor body 10, the cooling fan 30, and the plate member 70, and FIG. 4 is cut so as to pass through the center of the rotating shaft 11 shown in FIG. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the motor body 10 is a so-called brushless motor, and includes a rotor 15 and a stator 19.

  The rotor 15 includes a rotating shaft 11, and a magnetic circuit member 14 including an iron core 12 fixed to the rotating shaft 11 by adhesion or press fitting, and a permanent magnet 13 that is inserted into the iron core 12 and generates a magnetic field. Yes. The rotor 15 is rotatably held around the rotation shaft 11 by ball bearings 20A and 20B which are bearings of the rotation shaft 11. A hall element (not shown) for detecting the position of the rotor 15 is provided in the vicinity of the rotor 15.

  The stator 19 includes an iron core 16 and a plurality of coils 18 wound around the iron core 16 via a coil frame 17. A magnetic circuit is formed on the stator 19 by the iron core 16 and the coil 18.

  Such a motor body 10 controls the energization to the coil 18 of the stator 19 based on a position detection signal from a hall element (not shown) by a control circuit (not shown), thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the rotor 15. The rotor 15 is rotated so as to generate a corresponding continuous torque.

  As described above, the motor body 10 is a brushless motor, but the present invention is not limited to such a motor type.

  Next, the cooling fan 30 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the cooling fan 30 is fixed to the rotating shaft 11 of the rotor 15 by bonding or press-fitting, and is rotatably held around the rotating shaft 11 together with the rotor 15. By rotating together with this, the magnetic circuit member 14 and the stator 19 of the rotor 15 are cooled.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the cooling fan 30 has a main surface 31 s directed in the rotation direction of the rotary shaft 11, and radially from the inner peripheral portion 31 </ b> B fixed to the rotary shaft 11 around the rotary shaft 11. It has a plurality of extending wings 31A. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wing 31 </ b> A extends so as to be larger than the outer shape of the magnetic circuit member 14 of the rotor 15. The cooling fan 30 can be formed of a resin (eg, polyamide (nylon), about 1.1 g / cm ³ ) or the like.

  When the cooling fan 30 having a plurality of blades 31A having such a shape rotates, air flows as shown by an arrow A in FIG. Specifically, when the cooling fan 30 rotates, the air flow draws air so as to pass through the magnetic circuit member 14 along the rotating shaft 11 and finally discharges toward the outer peripheral direction of the cooling fan 30. cause. By causing such an air flow, the air that has cooled the magnetic circuit member 14 and the stator 19 of the rotor 15 can be easily discharged out of the casing of the impact rotary tool 1.

  Next, the plate member 70 will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the plate-like member 70 is fixed to the rotary shaft 11 of the rotor 15 so as to be orthogonal to the rotary shaft 11 by adhesion or press fitting, and is held rotatably around the rotary shaft 11 together with the rotor 15. ing.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the plate-like member 70 is provided at a position opposite to the cooling fan 30 via the motor body 10. The plate member 70 has a shape larger than the outer shape of the magnetic circuit member 14 of the rotor 15.

  FIGS. 6A and 6B are a schematic front view viewed from the front direction of the plate-like member 70 shown in FIG. 4 and a schematic side view viewed from the side direction. In general, the moment of inertia is expressed by the square of mass × radius. Therefore, by providing the plate-like member 70 having a shape larger than the outer shape of the magnetic circuit member 14 of the rotor 15 of the motor body 10, the mass of the iron core 12 of the magnetic circuit member 14 is small compared to the case where the mass is increased. That is, the moment of inertia can be easily increased while the motor body 10 is reduced in size and weight.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the plate-like member 70 has a disk shape in order to improve the moment of inertia, but the outer peripheral shape may be changed to a polygonal shape.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, a plurality of openings 70A are formed in the plate-like member 70 so that the air flow caused by the rotation of the cooling fan 30 passes well. Also good. As a result, the cooling effect of cooling the motor main body 10 by the cooling fan 30 can be kept good while improving the moment of inertia by the plate-like member 70. As described above, when the opening 70 </ b> A is formed in the plate-like member 70, as shown in FIG. 4, the plate-like member 70 may be disposed at a position P that is a position between the motor body 10 and the cooling fan 30. it can. Thus, by forming the opening 70A in the plate member 70, the degree of freedom of installation of the plate member 70 is increased, and the cooling effect of the cooling fan 30 can be kept good. Accordingly, the degree of freedom in designing the housing of the impact rotary tool 1 is also increased.

  Next, detection of a rotation angle used for rotation control of the rotor 15 of the motor body 10 using the plate-like member 70 fixed to the rotation shaft 11 will be described.

[When a rotation angle detection magnet is provided on the plate-like member 70]
As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, when a rotation angle detection magnet 71 is adhered to one main surface 70a of the plate-like member 70 by adhesion, the magnetic force of a hall sensor or the like fixed in the same manner as the stator 19 The sensor 72 can detect the rotation angle used for the rotation control of the rotor 15 of the motor body 10.

  The magnetic sensor 72 detects the rotation angle used for the rotation control of the rotor 15 by detecting the magnetic flux generated by the rotation angle detection magnet 71 that changes as the plate member 70 rotates together with the rotor 15. Can do.

  Thereby, since the rotation angle can be detected by using the plate-like member 70 provided for the purpose of improving the moment of inertia, it is not necessary to separately provide a separate member for detection on the stator 19, so that the installation space can be effectively used. Can be planned. In addition, since the magnetic sensor 72 can be installed via the plate-like member 70 provided at a position away from the motor main body 10, it is possible to avoid the influence on the magnetic sensor 72 due to the heat generated in the motor main body 10. Sensor detection can be realized.

  In the example shown in FIG. 8, the rotation angle detection magnet 71 has the same size as the plate-like member 70 and is provided with four different magnetic poles alternately. However, the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the number of divisions may be further increased to increase the resolution for detecting the rotation angle, or the rotation angle detection magnet 71 may be provided so as to correspond only to the position where the magnetic sensor 72 is installed. Also good.

[When forming rotation angle detection opening in plate-like member 70]
As shown in FIG. 9A, the plate-like member 70 is formed with, for example, two arc-shaped rotation angle detection openings 73 along the outer periphery in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the plate-like member 70. Further, as shown in FIG. 9B, a light source 74 and an optical sensor that receives light emitted from the light source through the rotation angle detection opening 73 so as to sandwich the rotation angle detection opening 73. 75 is fixedly installed in the same manner as the stator 19 so that the rotation angle used for the rotation control of the rotor 15 of the motor body 10 can be detected.

  The optical sensor 75 can detect the rotation angle used for the rotation control of the rotor 15 by detecting the amount of light emitted from the light source 74 that changes as the plate member 70 rotates together with the rotor 15. it can.

  Thereby, since the rotation angle can be detected by using the plate-like member 70 provided for the purpose of improving the moment of inertia, it is not necessary to separately provide a separate member for detection on the stator 19, so that the installation space can be effectively used. Can be planned. In addition, since the light source 74 and the optical sensor 75 can be installed in the vicinity of the plate-like member 70 provided at a position separated from the motor body 10, the influence of each element generated by the heat generated in the motor body 10 can be avoided and good. Sensor detection can be realized.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the arcuate rotation angle detection openings 73 along the outer periphery are formed in two locations near the outer periphery of the plate-like member 70, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, the rotational angle may be detected with higher resolution by changing the shape and number of the rotational angle detection opening 73.

  As described above, the impact rotary tool 1 shown as the embodiment of the present invention can be mounted with a motor having an increased moment of inertia with a very simple configuration while realizing a reduction in size and weight. Accordingly, the impact rotary tool 1 itself is also reduced in size and weight to enhance the user's feeling of use and to give a sufficient impact torque, so that high performance as a tool can be exhibited.

  The above-described embodiment is an example of the present invention. For this reason, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made depending on the design and the like as long as the technical idea according to the present invention is not deviated from this embodiment. Of course, it is possible to change.
