Abstract
Description
実施の形態1.
図1に、この発明の実施の形態1に係る超音波モータ1を示す。尚、以下の説明の便宜上、超音波モータ1における上下方向を図1等に示す各矢印によって規定する。
超音波モータ1は、超音波振動を利用して略円筒形状を有する移動子としてのロータ2を軸方向周り(矢印R参照)に回転移動させるものであって、ロータ2に接触する固定子としてのステータ3と、ステータ3に超音波振動を発生させる振動手段である圧電素子4とを備えている。尚、本実施形態では、ロータ2の回転方向が移動方向に相当する。
図3に示すように、支持部11の上部は、ロータ2の外周面2bに沿った円弧状の断面を有するように形成されており、支持部11の上部表面がロータ2の外周面2bに面接触可能な接触面21を構成している。また、この接触面21において、ステータ3の軸中心に近い側、すなわち内側に位置する部位には、ロータ2の外周面2bとの間に隙間Sを形成する微小な段差部23が設けられている。
図1に示すように、まず圧電素子4の複数の圧電素子板に対して図示しない駆動回路から交流電圧が印加される。交流電圧が印加されると、圧電素子4の各電圧素子板は互いに異なる振動方向の超音波振動を発生し、これらの超音波振動が複合されてステータ3に伝達される。このように超音波振動がステータ3に伝達されると、ステータ3の支持部11及び支持部12には、矢印Rで示されるロータ2の軸方向周りの超音波楕円振動が発生する。支持部11及び支持部12に発生した超音波楕円振動は、支持部11の接触面21及び支持部12の接触面22と、ロータ2の外周面2bとの間に作用する摩擦力を介してロータ2に伝達され、それにより、ロータ2が矢印Rで示される方向に回転する。
次に、この発明の実施の形態2に係る超音波モータ31について図4を用いて説明する。尚、この実施の形態2に係る超音波モータ31は、実施の形態1に係る超音波モータ1に対し、移動子であるロータの形状を変更したものである。また、以下に説明する実施の形態2において、図1~3に示される符号と同一の符号は同一または同様の構成要素であるため、その詳細な説明は省略する。
以上のように、球体であるロータ32を備えるように超音波モータ31を構成しても、実施の形態1と同様の効果、すなわちステータ33の接触面41a~43aの摩耗に伴う駆動力の変動を小さくすることができる。
また、実施の形態1、2におけるステータの段差部において、側部壁面はステータに対してロータが加圧される方向、すなわち上下方向に沿って延びるように形成されたが、例えば図5(b)に示される側部壁面23b’や側部壁面25a’のように、上下方向に対して所定の角度をなすように形成することも可能である。この場合においても、ステータの摩耗の進行に伴うロータとステータとの接触面積の増大は低減された状態となるため、実施の形態1、2とほぼ同様の効果を得ることができる。
