Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, and particularly relates to a fixed-axis linear motor integrating an encoder and a Hall sensor. Background Art

[0002] The fixed-axis linear motor of model SIZE8 is a linear motor mass-produced by our company at present. Due to its stable quality, small volume, large thrust, and multiple step size specifications available, it has a wide range of market applications. However, due to the open-loop control characteristics of the stepper motor itself, for special application environments that require closed-loop control, customers need to add an additional electrical signal feedback system, which increases the cost of customer products and also restricts the market share of the fixed-axis linear motor.

[0003] Our company early produced a fixed-axis linear motor encoder rotor structure, and its structure is as follows: the rear part of the inner ring of the encoder bearing is the code disk mating surface; the encoder rotor includes an aluminum part with an axial through hole, a magnet is fixedly sleeved outside the aluminum part, the aluminum part has an axial through screw hole, the rear part of the inner ring of the front bearing is inserted and fixed at the front end of the through hole of the aluminum part, and the front part of the inner ring of the encoder bearing is inserted and fixed at the rear end of the through hole of the aluminum part; the mounting plate and the machine shell are fixedly connected to form a motor shell; the front coil is fixed on the mounting plate, and the front part of the front coil extends out of the mounting plate; the rear coil is fixed inside the machine shell, and the rear part of the rear coil extends out of the machine shell; the middle pole plate is fixed between the front coil and the rear coil; the front coil is sleeved on the outer ring of the front bearing, and the rear coil is sleeved on the outer ring of the encoder bearing; the connector is fixed on the rear coil; the encoder base is fixed on the connector; the encoder PCB board and the encoder cover are fixed on the encoder base; the inner hole of the encoder code disk is sleeved on the code disk mating surface of the encoder bearing and is in interference fit; the encoder PCB board and the encoder code disk are located inside the encoder cover; the screw component passes through the shaft holes of the front coil, the encoder rotor, and the rear coil, and the external thread section of the screw component is matched with the internal thread of the axial through screw hole of the encoder rotor.

[0004] The above-mentioned fixed-axis linear motor encoder rotor structure is relatively complex, and only the encoder function is integrated on the fixed-axis linear motor. At present, users hope to integrate a Hall sensor in addition to the encoder function. Therefore, in the fierce market environment, in order to solve the application problems of customers, the demand for adding a closed-loop control function to the fixed-axis linear motor body is very urgent. How to integrate the components for feeding back the above electrical signals on the fixed-axis linear motor is the current problem. Content of the Utility Model
