Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, and more specifically, to a linear ultrasonic motor frame module and a linear ultrasonic motor. Background Art

[0002] Piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motor is a kind of friction-coupled piezoelectric actuator. It uses the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials to excite the micro-vibration of the elastic body, and converts the reciprocating micro-motion of the elastic body into the macroscopic unidirectional linear motion or rotational motion of the actuating object through friction. Compared with traditional motors, piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motors have small inertia, fast response, good controllability, are not affected by magnetic fields, and do not generate magnetic fields themselves, and have high positioning accuracy. Piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motors also have the characteristics of light weight, simple structure, high efficiency, low noise, low speed and high torque, and can directly drive the load. Due to the direct drive of the load, the vibration noise, gap, low efficiency, and difficult control problems caused by the use of gear speed change are avoided. Therefore, the piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motor is a new automatic control actuator and a new transmission mode. It is a breakthrough and powerful supplement to the traditional electromagnetic drive principle.

[0003] Compared with traditional electromagnetic linear ultrasonic motors, piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motors have the advantages of fast moving speed, fast response speed, power-off self-locking, compact structure and easy miniaturization. In the field of photography, especially in scenes such as cameras, it has good application prospects. Therefore, it is urgent to design a new type of piezoelectric linear ultrasonic motor to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is connected to the guide rod 150 in the linear ultrasonic motor frame module through the fixing module 300, so that it can move along the guide rod 150.

[0052] In the linear ultrasonic motor frame module, two side plates 120 are arranged opposite to each other and are both located above the bottom frame 110. End covers 130 are arranged at both ends of the side plates 120, and the two end covers 130 fix the bottom frame 110 and the side plates 120 from both sides of the bottom frame 110. The upper ends of the end covers 130 are provided with guide rod fixing holes corresponding to the guide rods 150. A clamping unit 140 is arranged on the inner side of the side plate 120. The linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is located between the two side plates 120 and is clamped by the clamping unit 140. The clamping unit 140 is in contact with the driving foot of the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 and has a pressure pointing in the direction of the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 to ensure close contact between the driving foot and the clamping unit 140.

[0053] Figure 2 An exploded schematic diagram of the linear ultrasonic motor of an embodiment of the utility model is shown; the exploded diagram can show the detailed structural features of the various components of the linear ultrasonic motor, and the various components in the figure will be described in sequence from bottom to top below.

[0054] The bottom shell 400, for example, has a receiving cavity of a certain depth to accommodate the flexible connecting wire 420. One end of the flexible connecting wire 420 is used to be electrically connected to the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 300, and the other end extends from the opening of the bottom shell 400 to be connected to the outside. The bottom shell 400, for example, is rectangular, and a positioning column 410 is provided on the upper surface of one side of its short side. The positioning column 410 corresponds to the positioning hole (not shown in the figure) on the bottom side of the end cover 130.

[0055] The bottom frame 110 is, for example, a rectangular frame, and the middle opening portion thereof is, for example, for the flexible connecting wire 420 to pass through, so that the flexible connecting wire 420 can be connected to the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 300. The flexible connecting wire 420 can move in the opening of the bottom frame 110, and the opening size should meet the movement of the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 300 within the travel range, and the flexible connecting wire 420 will not interfere with the bottom frame 110. The short sides on the left and right sides of the bottom frame 110 are provided with grooves 111 on the side, and the grooves 111 are, for example, rectangular grooves. Correspondingly, the end cover 130 is provided with a first boss 132 corresponding thereto, and the first boss 132 is also, for example, rectangular. The first boss 132 of the end cover 130 clamps the bottom frame 110 at the groove 111 to achieve positioning and fixing of the bottom frame 110. A guide rod fixing hole 131 is provided at the top of the end cover 130 to fix the guide rod 150. The end cover 130 is also provided with a second boss 133 and a first through hole 134 passing through the end cover 130 on the side facing the bottom frame 110. The second boss 133 is, for example, cylindrical. Both ends of the side plate 120 are bent, and the end surface of the side plate 120 is provided with a first positioning hole 121 corresponding to the second boss 133 and a bolt hole 122 corresponding to the first through hole 134. Specifically, the second bosses 133 are, for example, four in a rectangular array, the two second bosses 133 on the left are arranged up and down to correspond to the first positioning holes 121 of one side plate 120, and the two second bosses 133 on the right are also arranged up and down to correspond to the first positioning holes 121 of the other side plate 120; similarly, the first through holes 134 are, for example, four in a rectangular array, and the rectangle of the first through hole 134 array is located inside the rectangle of the second boss 133 array. Similarly, the two first through holes 134 on the left correspond to the bolt holes 122 of one side plate 120, and the two first through holes 134 on the right correspond to the bolt holes 122 of the other side plate 120. The left and right ends of the two side plates 120 are respectively connected to the two end covers 130, so as to fix the side plates 120 and limit the distance between the two side plates 120. It is understandable that the shapes and positions of the first boss 132, the groove 111, the second boss 133, the first through hole 134, the first positioning hole 121 and the bolt hole 122 are not limited thereto, as long as these structures correspond to each other so that the end cover 130 can be fixed to the side plate 120 and the bottom frame 110. The inner side of both side plates 120 (the side facing the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200) is provided with a clamping unit 140, which contacts the driving foot of the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 and provides pressure directed to the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200. Of course, the clamping unit 140 can also be provided on the inner side of only one side plate 120, and a fixed contact rod can be provided on the other side, and the pressure can be provided by a single clamping unit 140.

[0056] The linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is, for example, located between the two clamping units 140, and the fixing module 300 includes a vibrator module upper cover 310 and a vibrator module base 320, which clamp and fix the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 from the upper and lower sides, and the vibrator module base 320 is, for example, provided with a threaded hole, and the vibrator module upper cover 310 and the vibrator module base 320 are connected, for example, by bolts; the vibrator module upper cover 310 is also provided with a guide sleeve 311 corresponding to the guide rod 150, and the guide rod 150 is inserted into the guide sleeve 311 of the vibrator module upper cover 310, so that the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is connected to the guide rod 150, so that the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 can move along the axial direction of the guide rod 150. Further, the vibrator module upper cover 310 is also provided with a bayonet 312, which can be used to connect the lens of the camera.

[0057] Figure 3 and Figure 4 A top view of the linear ultrasonic motor according to an embodiment of the utility model and a cross-sectional view taken along the AA cross-sectional line in the top view are respectively shown; Figure 5 and Figure 6 The front view and left view of the linear ultrasonic motor of the utility model are shown respectively; Figure 3 As can be seen in the figure, the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is located between the two side plates 120, and the driving feet 210 on both sides thereof are respectively in contact with the clamping units 140 on the inner sides of the side plates 120. The linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is connected to the guide rod 150 through the fixing module 300, and the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 can be driven by the driving feet 210 to move along the axial direction of the guide rod 150. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The schematic cross-section diagram taken along the AA section line in Figure 4 As can be seen in the figure, the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 can move along the guide rod 150 in the space surrounded by the bottom frame 110, the end cover 130, the side plate 120 and the bottom shell. The linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is clamped and fixed from the upper and lower sides by the vibrator module upper cover 310 and the vibrator module base 320. The conductive sheet in the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is electrically connected to the circuit board (not shown). One end of the flexible connection line 420 passes through the opening of the bottom shell 400 and is electrically connected to the circuit board. The flexible connection line 420 is, for example, S-shaped, and the other end thereof extends from the opening of the bottom shell 400 to connect to the outside world. The linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is connected to the guide rod 150 through the vibrator module upper cover 310, so that the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 is suspended in the air. The driving foot of the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 contacts the clamping unit 140, and the driving foot drives the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 to move relative to the clamping unit 140 along the axial direction of the guide rod 150. From Figure 6As can be seen, the end cover 130 has a first through hole 134, and the bolt passes through the first through hole 134 and is connected to the bolt hole 122 on the end face of the side plate 120, thereby fixing the end cover 130 to the side plate 120. The bottom shell 400 is located below the end cover 130, the side plate 120 and the bottom frame 110. Similarly, the bolt passes through the through holes on the left and right sides of the end cover 130 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the bottom frame 110 and is connected to the bottom shell 400, thereby fixing the bottom shell 400 to the end cover 130.

[0058] Figure 7 and Figure 8 A schematic diagram and an exploded diagram of a linear ultrasonic motor frame module of an embodiment of the utility model are respectively shown; in order to avoid repeated description, the structural features of some components in the linear ultrasonic motor frame module that have been described before are not repeated. Figure 8In the exploded view, the clamping unit 140 on the inner side of the right side plate 120 in the linear ultrasonic motor frame module is exploded and disassembled to more clearly show the structure of the clamping unit 140. The middle of the bottom frame 110 has an opening 113 for the flexible connecting line 420 to pass through. Specifically, the clamping unit 140 includes a support frame 141 and a contact shaft 142, wherein the support frame 141 is, for example, in the shape of an elongated strip, and the surface of the support frame 141 facing the side plate 120 is a support surface 1411. Furthermore, a plurality of windows are provided on the support surface 1411 to reduce the weight of the support frame 141, and the support frame 141 is provided with two limiting rings 1412 perpendicular to the support surface 1411 at both ends of the side away from the support surface 1411, and the middle hole of the limiting ring 1412 is, for example, a circular hole, and the contact shaft 142 is, for example, fixed by passing through the limiting ring 1412, and the contact shaft 142 is, for example, a column with an arched cross-section, and the diameter of the contact shaft 142 is, for example, matched with the inner diameter of the limiting ring 1412, and the axis of the contact shaft 142 is parallel to the inner diameter of the limiting ring 1412. On the support surface 1411, the contact shaft 142 can rotate in the limiting ring 1412. The contact surface 1421 of the contact shaft 142 is, for example, a plane. The contact surface 1421 is, for example, parallel to the axis of the contact shaft 142. The cross-sectional shape of the contact shaft 142 along the surface parallel to the end cover 130 is an arch (major arc arch, semicircular arc arch or inferior arc arch). By adopting a planar contact surface 1421, it can better contact with the driving foot of the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200. Furthermore, through the design of the contact shaft 142 and the limiting ring 1412, the contact shaft 142 can be relatively rotated relative to the support frame 141, so that the contact surface 1421 can be adjusted to achieve adaptive matching with the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200. Furthermore, in order to provide pressure to the linear ultrasonic motor vibrator module 200 to ensure close contact between its driving foot and the contact surface 1421, a plurality of elastic members 170 are also arranged between the support surface 1411 and the side plate 120. The elastic force of the elastic member 170 is adjustable. The elastic member 170 is, for example, a coil spring or a leaf spring. The coil spring can adjust its elastic force by changing its wire diameter and length, thereby adjusting its pressure. The plurality of elastic members 170 are, for example, arranged in a linear array and are arranged near the upper side of the support surface 1411.

[0059] The bottom frame 110 is connected to the support surface 1411 of the support frame 141 through the connecting piece 160 to limit the freedom of the clamping unit (support frame 141). Specifically, the bottom frame 110 is provided with a first boss 112 on the side opposite to the side plate 120, and a second boss 1413 corresponding to the first boss 112 is provided in the lower side area of ​​the support surface 1411 of the support frame 141.
