[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the present application more clear, definite and explicit, the present application is further described in detail by the following examples. It should be pointed out that the specific implementation described herein is only used to explain the present application, and is not used to limit the present application.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1 , the rotary drive device of the present application mainly comprises an SMA wire 1, a supporting circular tube 2, a transmission circular tube 3, a ball bearing 5, a restoring spring 4, a temperature raising device and a temperature lowering device.

[0022] The SMA wire 1 is a Ni-Ti alloy wire, and its length is greater than the axial length of the supporting circular tube 2 and the transmission circular tube 3. The SMA wire 1 is tightly attached to the outside of the supporting circular tube 2, is spirally wound, smoothly passes through the SMA wire 1 mounting hole of the base of the supporting circular tube 2 and the connecting plate of the transmission circular tube 3, and is mounted on the outside of the supporting circular tube 2 through the clamping head at both ends. When the SMA wire 1 changes in length after being heated, the transmission circular tube 3 produces a corresponding angle change, i.e. the length change of the SMA wire 1 is converted into the reciprocating rotary motion of the drive device.

[0023] As shown in Figures 2-3 , the supporting circular tube 2 is a thin-walled circular tube with a base, and the base has a connecting hole connected with the static end. The bottom end of the supporting circular tube 2 has a slot for mounting the restoring spring 4. The inside of the circular tube is mounted with the ball bearing 5. The base is in the shape of a circular table, and is attached with a reinforcing ring. There is a through hole in the middle of the base, and the diameter of the through hole is adapted to the outer diameter of the supporting circular tube 2. The base has a plurality of SMA wire 1 mounting holes. The center of the mounting hole forms a circle with a radius equal to the sum of the radius of the supporting circular tube 2 and the diameter of the SMA wire 1. The mounting hole has a certain inclination angle in the axial direction of the circular tube, and the angle is the included angle between the columnar wound SMA wire 1 and the generatrix of the circular tube. The end of the mounting hole has a clamping head slot. The reinforcing ring has a wire hole opened along the radial direction. The supporting circular tube 2 supports the SMA wire 1 to keep columnar winding, and supports the transmission circular tube 3 to rotate coaxially.

[0024] As shown in Figures 4-6 , the transmission circular tube 3 is a thin-walled circular tube with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate has a connecting hole connected with the movable end. The lower end of the transmission circular tube 3 has a slot for mounting the restoring spring 4. The outside of the circular tube is matched with the inner ring of the ball bearing 5. The connecting plate is in the shape of a circular table, and is attached with a reinforcing ring. There is a through hole in the middle of the connecting plate, and the diameter of the through hole is adapted to the outer diameter of the transmission circular tube 3. The connecting plate has a plurality of SMA wire 1 mounting holes. The center of the mounting hole forms a circle with a radius equal to the sum of the radius of the supporting circular tube 2 and the diameter of the SMA wire 1. The mounting hole has a certain inclination angle in the axial direction of the circular tube, and the angle is the included angle between the columnar wound SMA wire 1 and the generatrix of the circular tube. The end of the mounting hole has a clamping head slot. The reinforcing ring has a wire hole opened along the radial direction. The length of the transmission circular tube 3 is the axial length of the supporting circular tube 2 plus the thickness of the connecting plate. The transmission circular tube 3 rotates around its own axis under the drive of the SMA wire 1, and drives the movable end to rotate.

[0025] The outer diameter of the ball bearing 5 is the same as the inner diameter of the support circular tube 2, and the inner diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the transmission circular tube 3. The outer ring of the ball bearing 5 is matched with the inner side of the support circular tube 2, and the inner ring is matched with the outer side of the transmission circular tube 3. The top end of the support circular tube 2 is close to the connecting plate of the transmission circular tube 3, and the insertion slots of the recovery spring 4 installed on the two circular tubes are located at the same height. The ball bearing 5 guides the transmission circular tube 3 to rotate around the axis.

[0026] The recovery spring 4 is a vortex spring with protrusions at the inner and outer ends. After the support circular tube 2, the transmission circular tube 3, the ball bearing 5 and the SMA wire 1 are installed, the recovery spring 4 is pre-tightened with a torque and a pre-torsion angle, and is installed between the support circular tube 2 and the transmission circular tube 3, that is, the inner and outer ends of the recovery spring 4 are fixed in the insertion slots of the transmission circular tube 3 and the support circular tube 2 respectively through the protrusions. The direction of the pre-torsion angle is opposite to the winding direction of the SMA wire 1, so that the device itself is balanced.

[0027] As shown in Figure 7 , the number of SMA wire 1 installation holes in the schematic diagram does not represent the specific scheme in the specific implementation case. The ends of the SMA wire 1 are connected in parallel on the conductive plate 7. The lead wire 6 passes through the lead wire hole of the base or the connecting plate, one end is connected to the conductive plate 7, and the other end is connected to the heating device. The outer side of the conductive plate 7 is insulated.

[0028] After the heating device is powered on, the SMA wire 1 is deformed and shortened by heat. The deformation of the SMA wire 1 drives the transmission circular tube 3 to overcome the pre-tightening torque of the recovery spring 4, and generates a rotating motion. By adjusting the power of the power supply, the heating temperature of the SMA wire 1 is adjusted, and the size of the rotating torque and rotating angle output by the driving device is controlled.

[0029] The cooling device is a portable air conditioner. After the power is turned off, the air conditioner releases cold air to quickly cool the SMA wire 1, and the SMA wire 1 returns to the initial length. At the same time, the anti-torsion resistance of the recovery spring 4 accelerates the recovery process of the transmission circular tube 3, so that the driving device returns to the initial state.

[0030] The following specific data examples describe the device of the present application: Suppose that in a narrow working space, the distance between the stationary end and the movable end is about 500mm. The movable end needs to generate a 180° reciprocating rotation angle and output a 30Nm rotating torque.

[0031] Based on the above scenario, the axial length of the driving device is determined to be 500mm. The parameters of the main components are as follows: the support circular tube has a length of 470mm and an outer diameter of 60mm; the transmission circular tube has a length of 480mm and an outer diameter of 30mm; the number of SMA wires is 30, and each SMA wire has a working length of 570mm and a winding angle of 34°.

[0032] SMA wire is Ni-Ti shape memory alloy wire, length 600mm, cross section diameter 1mm. The working length of SMA wire is 570mm, which is coated with insulating ceramic. The SMA wire is tightly attached to the outside of the support circular tube, wound in a spiral shape, and the included angle with the circular tube bus is about 34°. It is fixed between the base and the connecting plate through the clamping head. 30 SMA wires are evenly distributed along the outside of the support circular tube.

[0033] The material of the support circular tube is stainless steel, with a length of 470mm, a tube diameter of 60mm, and a wall thickness of 2mm. The bottom end of the support circular tube has a restoring spring slot with a width of 1mm, a length of 20mm, and a depth of 2mm. The base is made of bakelite and shaped like a circular truncated cone. The outer diameter of the base is 120mm, the inner diameter is 60mm, and the height is 10mm. The reinforcing circular ring has an outer diameter of 120mm, an inner diameter of 80mm, and a height of 10mm. The base has 30 SMA wire installation holes, and the axial inclination angle of the installation hole is 34° with the circular tube bus. The hole center of the installation hole forms a circle with a diameter of 64mm. The end of the installation hole has a clamping head slot for fixing the clamping head, with a diameter of 4mm and a depth of 5mm. Wire guide holes are radially provided on the reinforcing circular ring. The wire guide hole is 20mm deep and 10mm in diameter. Four connecting holes for connecting to the static end are evenly distributed on the reinforcing circular ring, with a diameter of 10mm.

[0034] The material of the transmission circular tube is stainless steel, with a length of 480mm, a tube diameter of 30mm, and a wall thickness of 2mm. Two restoring spring slots are provided at the lower end of the circular tube, each with a width of 1mm, a length of 20mm, and a depth of 2mm. The connecting plate is made of bakelite and shaped like a circular truncated cone. The outer diameter of the connecting plate is 120mm, the inner diameter is 30mm, and the height is 10mm. The reinforcing circular ring has an outer diameter of 120mm, an inner diameter of 80mm, and a height of 10mm. The through hole in the center of the connecting plate has a diameter of 30mm. The connecting plate has 30 SMA wire installation holes, and the axial inclination angle of the installation hole is 34° with the circular tube bus. The hole center of the installation hole forms a circle with a diameter of 64mm. The end of the installation hole has a clamping head slot for fixing the clamping head, with a diameter of 4mm and a depth of 5mm. Wire guide holes are radially provided on the reinforcing circular ring. The wire guide hole is 20mm deep and 10mm in diameter. Four connecting holes for connecting to the movable end are evenly distributed on the reinforcing circular ring, with a diameter of 10mm.

[0035] The outer diameter of the ball bearing is 56mm, and the inner diameter is 30mm. Two ball bearing outer rings are fixed at appropriate positions on the inside of the support circular tube, and the inner rings cooperate with the outside of the transmission circular tube. After the bearing cooperates with the two circular tubes, the top end of the support circular tube is tightly connected to the connecting plate of the transmission circular tube.

[0036] The width of the restoring spring along the axial direction is 20 mm, the thickness is 1 mm, and the stiffness coefficient is 20 Nm / radian. After the support circular tube, the transmission circular tube, the bearing, and the SMA wire are assembled, the restoring spring is applied with a pre-tightening torque of 10 Nm and a pre-torque angle, and is installed between the support circular tube and the transmission circular tube, that is, the protrusions at the inner and outer ends of the restoring spring are respectively installed in the insertion slots of the transmission circular tube and the support circular tube. After the installation and the pre-tightening torque are applied, the outer end of the spring has a diameter of 54 mm, and the inner end has a diameter of 32 mm. The pre-torque angle and the winding angle of the SMA wire are opposite, and the device is balanced.

[0037] The ends of the SMA wires are connected in parallel on the conductive plate. Two wires pass through the wire holes of the base and the connecting plate respectively, one end of each wire is connected with the conductive plate, and the other end is connected with the temperature rising device. The conductive plate is composed of two metal circular plates with a diameter of 50 mm and a thickness of 10 mm. On one side of the metal circular plate, 31 radial grooves are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, and the grooves are in the shape of semicircles. After the SMA wires and the wires pass through the connection holes, the two metal circular plates are tightened with screws to connect the 30 SMA wires in parallel and connect the wires.

[0038] After the above components are assembled, the support circular tube is connected to the static end through the connecting hole of the base, and the transmission circular tube is installed on the movable end through the connecting hole of the connecting plate.

[0039] The SMA wires are heated to rise in temperature, the length is shortened, the transmission circular tube is driven to overcome the pre-tightening torque of the restoring spring, and the rotational movement along the axial direction is generated. The support circular tube and the static end are fixed and immovable, the transmission circular tube drives the movable end to rotate, so that the movable end and the static end generate a relative rotation angle of about 180°, and the device outputs a rotational torque of about 30 Nm.

[0040] When the power is turned off, the portable air conditioner releases cold air, the SMA wires are quickly cooled, and the length is elongated. At the same time, the torsional resistance of the restoring spring 4 accelerates the recovery process of the driving device. The power of the power supply can be adjusted according to the size of the torsion angle change amount, so that the movable end generates a corresponding torsion angle change amount.

[0041] The above only describes one application of the present application. Without departing from the principles of the present application, the materials and structural sizes of the components can be appropriately improved according to the use situation to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure. After overcoming all the torque, the device can achieve ideal rotational driving in the use situation, and these improvements are also considered as the protection range of the present application.
