Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of linear motors, specifically relating to a distributed linear module. Background Technology
[0002] Linear motion modules are core components of automated equipment, and their performance directly determines the efficiency and precision of the production line. Achieving efficient and precise linear drive has always been a technical challenge in long-stroke, multi-station applications. Traditional solutions primarily rely on rotary servo motors combined with mechanical transmission mechanisms such as ball screws or synchronous belts to convert rotary motion into linear motion. However, these solutions suffer from problems such as mechanical backlash, wear, and elastic deformation, limiting the system's speed, precision, and lifespan. Furthermore, manufacturing and installation are difficult under long-stroke conditions.
[0003] To overcome the inherent limitations of mechanical transmission, electromagnetic linear motor technology emerged. It achieves contactless direct drive and boasts advantages such as high speed, high acceleration, and unlimited stroke length. However, for long-stroke applications, traditional linear motor solutions typically employ a single, continuous, long stator structure, which presents new challenges: high manufacturing costs, difficulties in transportation and installation, the need to replace the entire stator in case of partial damage, and energy consumption spanning the entire stator length, making it uneconomical. Furthermore, a single mover cannot meet the demands of modern flexible manufacturing for independent, asynchronous motion under multiple loads.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a linear motion solution that combines long stroke, low cost, and ease of maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a distributed linear module that combines long stroke, low cost and easy maintenance.
[0006] This utility model discloses a distributed linear module, including a track, a plurality of active linear motor stators arranged at equal intervals along the track direction, and a passive linear motor mover slidably disposed on the track and cooperating with the plurality of active linear motor stators. The length of the excitation region of the passive linear motor mover is equal to a multiple of the center distance between the stators of two adjacent active linear motors; The spacing between the stators of the active linear motor satisfies the following condition: the spacing is equal to N times the center distance of the stators of the active linear motor, where N ≥ 4.
[0007] Furthermore, the stator of the active linear motor is provided with an encoding induction plate; The passive linear motor actuator is provided with an encoder plate, the length of the two sides of the encoder plate being longer than the excitation region.
[0008] Furthermore, the track includes two guide rails arranged opposite each other; The passive linear motor actuator is slidably mounted on the guide rail via a slider.
[0009] Furthermore, the stator of the active linear motor is fixedly mounted on two guide rails on both sides.
[0010] Furthermore, the two sides of the stator of the active linear motor are arranged between two guide rails.
[0011] Furthermore, the active linear motor stator includes a mounting frame, a drive board, a control board, an encoder induction board, and a drive coil assembly; The mounting frame includes a mounting positioning frame, which includes two opposing side plates and a partition connecting plate connecting the two side plates. The partition connecting plate divides the space between the two side plates into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. Partition plates are provided on both sides of the partition connecting plate. The partition plate of the upper cavity divides the upper cavity into a drive board mounting cavity and a control board mounting cavity. The partition plate of the lower cavity divides the lower cavity into a drive coil mounting cavity and an encoding induction board mounting cavity. The drive board is fixedly disposed in the drive board mounting cavity, the control board is fixedly disposed in the control board mounting cavity, the drive coil assembly is disposed in the drive coil mounting cavity, and the encoding sensing board is fixedly disposed in the encoding sensing board mounting cavity.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive coil mounting cavity is provided with a first through hole that passes through the partition connecting plate and connects the drive board mounting cavity and / or the control board mounting cavity. The drive coil assembly is electrically connected to the drive board and / or the control board through the first through hole. The partition plate of the upper cavity is provided with a second through hole that connects the drive board mounting cavity and the control board mounting cavity, and the drive board and the control board are electrically connected through the second through hole; The partition connecting plate is provided with a third through hole that connects the control board mounting cavity and the encoding sensor board mounting cavity, and the control board and the encoding sensor board are electrically connected through the third through hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the mounting frame also includes a front fixing plate disposed at the front end of the two side plates, a rear fixing plate disposed at the rear end of the two side plates, an upper fixing plate disposed at the upper end of the two side plates, and a lower fixing plate disposed at the lower end of the two side plates. The front and / or rear mounting plates are used to bring out power lines, signal lines, and test lines.
[0014] Furthermore, the front fixing plate, rear fixing plate, upper fixing plate, lower fixing plate, and two side plates together form a rectangular cavity; The rectangular cavity is filled with epoxy resin.
[0015] Furthermore, the void portion of the rectangular cavity is filled with filler blocks; The epoxy resin is used for potting after filling the filler block.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are that the distributed linear module provided by this invention, by replacing continuous long stators with equally spaced short stators and cooperating with a long excitation actuator, allows the track length to be flexibly customized according to actual application requirements, while the active linear motor stator is modularly installed on it at equal intervals. Users can easily increase or decrease the number of stators according to load, speed, and acceleration requirements, achieving unlimited stroke expansion and on-demand thrust configuration, completely eliminating the limitations of fixed stroke, difficult manufacturing, and transportation of traditional long stator motors. Moreover, the manufacturing, testing, transportation, and replacement of active linear motor stators are simpler and more economical than those of continuous long stators. When a stator module of an active linear motor fails, only the single module needs to be replaced, without scrapping or repairing the entire long stator, greatly reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
[0017] Multiple passive linear motors can operate independently and asynchronously on the same track, each driven by the stator module in its current region. This allows for multiple different operations to be performed simultaneously on a single production line, achieving true flexible manufacturing. Through software control, production cycle time and process paths can be easily altered to meet the demands of modern industry for small-batch, multi-variety production.
[0018] The excitation region length of the passive linear motor mover is equal to the center distance between two adjacent active linear motor stators. This ensures that when the passive linear motor mover moves from one active linear motor stator to the next, its magnetic field always overlaps with at least one active linear motor stator and generates thrust. This achieves contactless and impact-free seamless relay drive, avoiding thrust drop or vibration at the stator gap and ensuring stability at high speeds.
[0019] The spacing between the stators of the active linear motor minimizes the number of active linear motor stators in the system while ensuring that the mover of the passive linear motor always receives continuous and stable thrust. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0027] As attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 10 As shown, a distributed linear module includes a track 200, a plurality of active linear motor stators 100 arranged at equal intervals along the direction of the track 200, and a passive linear motor mover 300 slidably disposed on the track 200 and cooperating with the plurality of active linear motor stators 100. The excitation region length of the passive linear motor mover 300 is equal to a multiple of the center distance between two adjacent active linear motor stators 100. The spacing between the stators 100 of the active linear motor satisfies the following condition: the spacing is equal to N times the center distance of the stators 100, where N ≥ 4. Taking a center distance of 62.5 mm for the stators 100 as an example, the minimum spacing between the stators 100 is 250 mm, followed by 312.5 mm, 375 mm, 437.5 mm, and so on. This spacing minimizes the number of active linear motor stators 100 in the system while ensuring that the passive linear motor mover 300 always receives continuous and stable thrust.
[0028] The distributed linear module provided by this invention replaces continuous long stators with equally spaced short stators, and works in conjunction with a long excitation actuator. This allows the length of the track 200 to be flexibly customized according to actual application requirements, while the active linear motor stator 100 is modularly mounted on it at equal intervals. Users can easily increase or decrease the number of stators according to load, speed, and acceleration requirements, achieving unlimited stroke expansion and on-demand thrust configuration, completely eliminating the limitations of traditional long stator motors with fixed stroke, manufacturing difficulties, and transportation challenges.
[0029] The manufacturing, testing, transportation, and replacement of the short active linear motor stator 100 are simpler and more economical than those of a continuous long stator. When a module of the active linear motor stator 100 fails, only the single module needs to be replaced, without scrapping or repairing the entire long stator, greatly reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
[0030] Multiple passive linear motor movers 300 can operate independently and asynchronously on the same track 200, with each mover driven by the stator module of its current location. This allows for multiple different operations to be performed simultaneously on a single production line, achieving true flexible manufacturing. Through software control, production cycle time and process paths can be easily changed to meet the demands of modern industry for small-batch, multi-variety production.
[0031] The excitation region length of the passive linear motor mover 300 is equal to the center distance between two adjacent active linear motor stators 100. This ensures that when the passive linear motor mover 300 moves from one active linear motor stator 100 to the next, its magnetic field always overlaps with at least one active linear motor stator 100 and generates thrust, achieving contactless and impact-free seamless relay drive. This avoids thrust drop or vibration at the stator gap, ensuring stability at high speeds.
[0032] The spacing between the stators 100 of the active linear motor minimizes the number of stators 100 in the system while ensuring that the mover 300 of the passive linear motor always receives continuous and stable thrust.
[0033] In one embodiment, an encoding sensing plate 4 is provided on the stator 100 of the active linear motor; The passive linear motor actuator 300 is provided with an encoder plate 12, the lengths of the two sides of the encoder plate 12 being longer than the excitation region.
[0034] In this embodiment, the length of the encoder board 12 is set to be longer than the excitation region and is installed on the passive linear motor mover 300. This ensures that when the mover moves from one active linear motor stator 100 to another, at least one active linear motor stator 100's encoder sensing board 4 can always detect the encoder board 12. This achieves seamless relay of position signals during the switching process of the active linear motor stator 100, providing the control system with continuous, uninterrupted absolute position information across the entire stroke, enabling high-precision synchronous control and independent management of multiple movers.
[0035] In one embodiment, the track 200 includes two opposing guide rails 13; The passive linear motor actuator 300 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 13 via a slider 14.
[0036] In this embodiment, two oppositely arranged guide rails 13 form a stable support reference surface, which can effectively resist the overturning torque generated by the passive linear motor mover 300 and its load.
[0037] In one embodiment, the active linear motor stator 100 is fixedly mounted on two guide rails 13 on both sides.
[0038] In this embodiment, all active linear motor stators 100 and the two guide rails 13 are firmly connected into a unified, highly rigid mechanical whole. This greatly enhances the torsional and bending stiffness of the entire track 200, effectively suppressing deformation of the track 200 caused by high-speed movement of the passive linear motor mover 300, load changes, and external forces. This ensures the long-term maintenance of motor thrust stability and system positioning accuracy.
[0039] In one embodiment, the active linear motor stator 100 is positioned between two guide rails 13 on both sides.
[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting panel of the passive linear motor mover 300 is no longer limited by the width of the active linear motor stator 100. Instead, it can be independently mounted on the slider 14 of the two guide rails 13, and its width can be designed to meet any required needs based on the size and shape of the actual load. This greatly enhances adaptability to different application scenarios. Whether it is necessary to carry a large jig, multiple tool heads, or large workpieces, it can all be achieved through a customized mover panel.
[0041] In one embodiment, the active linear motor stator 100 includes a mounting frame 1, a drive board 2, a control board 3, an encoder sensing board 4, and a drive coil assembly 5; The mounting frame 1 includes a mounting positioning frame 101, which includes two opposing side plates 1011 and a partition connecting plate 1012 connecting the two side plates 1011. The partition connecting plate 1012 divides the space between the two side plates 1011 into an upper cavity 1013 and a lower cavity 1014. Partition plates 1015 are provided on both sides of the partition connecting plate 1012. The partition plate 1015 of the upper cavity 1013 divides the upper cavity 1013 into a drive board mounting cavity 1016 and a control board mounting cavity 1017. The partition plate 1015 of the lower cavity 1014 divides the lower cavity 1014 into a drive coil mounting cavity 1018 and an encoding induction board mounting cavity 1019. The drive board 2 is fixedly disposed in the drive board mounting cavity 1016, the control board 3 is fixedly disposed in the control board mounting cavity 1017, the drive coil assembly 5 is disposed in the drive coil mounting cavity 1018, and the encoding sensing board 4 is fixedly disposed in the encoding sensing board mounting cavity 1019.
[0042] The active linear motor stator 100 provided by this invention physically isolates the drive board 2 (high-power, high-frequency switching component) and the control board 3 (low-voltage, sensitive signal processing component) in the drive board mounting cavity 1016 and the control board mounting cavity 1017 via a partition plate 1015. Furthermore, the power components, drive coil components 5, and sensing components, i.e., the encoder sensing board 4, are isolated in the drive coil mounting cavity 1018 and the encoder sensing board mounting cavity 1019, effectively preventing interference from the strong electromagnetic field of the power circuit on the weak electrical control signal. This ensures the accuracy and stability of the position feedback signal, thereby improving the control precision and operational reliability of the motor.
[0043] Furthermore, this structure allows for optimization of the thermal characteristics of different heat-generating components. The drive plate 2 and drive coil assembly 5, as the main heat sources, are placed in separate chambers, preventing heat accumulation. Simultaneously, when the mounting frame 1 is made of a thermally conductive material, it can act as a heat sink, rapidly conducting and dissipating heat. This significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency under heavy-load conditions, ensuring the motor's continuous output capability.
[0044] Furthermore, the mounting and positioning frame 101 adopts a structure combining side plates 1011 and partition connecting plates 1012, forming a robust box-type or frame-type integral structure with extremely high mechanical rigidity and strength. This ensures that the stator body is not easily deformed under the enormous magnetic attraction and inertial impact brought about by heavy loads and high-speed operation. The drive coil assembly 5 is firmly constrained within the drive coil mounting cavity 1018, which can effectively suppress vibration during operation, provide a stable and uniform air gap magnetic field for the mover, and guarantee the dynamic performance and service life of the motor.
[0045] In one embodiment, the drive coil mounting cavity 1018 is provided with a first through hole 10110 that passes through the partition connecting plate 1012 and connects the drive plate mounting cavity 1016 and / or the control plate mounting cavity 1017. The drive coil assembly 5 is electrically connected to the drive plate 2 and / or the control plate 3 through the first through hole 10110. The partition plate 1015 of the upper cavity 1013 is provided with a second through hole 10111 that connects the drive board mounting cavity 1016 and the control board mounting cavity 1017. The drive board 2 and the control board 3 are electrically connected through the second through hole 10111. Preferably, the second through hole 10111 adopts a strip hole or strip groove structure, and the drive board 2 and the control board 3 are connected by a ribbon cable. The separating connecting plate 1012 is provided with a third wiring hole 10112 that connects the control board mounting cavity 1017 and the encoding sensor plate mounting cavity 1019. The control board 3 and the encoding sensor plate 4 are electrically connected through the third wiring hole 10112. Preferably, the third wiring hole 10112 adopts a strip hole or strip groove structure, and the control board 3 and the encoding sensor plate 4 are connected by a ribbon cable.
[0046] In one embodiment, the mounting frame 1 further includes a front fixing plate 102 disposed at the front end of the two side plates 1011, a rear fixing plate 103 disposed at the rear end of the two side plates 1011, an upper fixing plate 104 disposed at the upper end of the two side plates 1011, and a lower fixing plate 105 disposed at the lower end of the two side plates 1011. The front fixing plate 102 and / or the rear fixing plate 103 are used to lead out the power line 6, signal line 7 and test line 8.
[0047] In this embodiment, the designed first through-hole 10110, second through-hole 10111, and third through-hole 10112 provide the shortest and most direct physical path for the connection cables between the four modules: the drive board 2, the control board 3, the drive coil assembly 5, and the encoding induction board 4. This reduces the length of internal cables, lowers line resistance and voltage loss, and minimizes the chance that the wires might act as antennas to receive or transmit electromagnetic interference.
[0048] In this embodiment, the front fixing plate 102, rear fixing plate 103, upper fixing plate 104, lower fixing plate 105, and two side plates 1011 together constitute a high-rigidity closed box structure. At this time, the partition connecting plate 1012 can significantly improve the structural strength of the closed box structure. In particular, the upper fixing plate 104, lower fixing plate 105, and partition connecting plate 1012 jointly improve the structural strength of the two side plates 1011. When the two partition plates 1015 abut against the upper fixing plate 104 and lower fixing plate 105 respectively, the two partition plates 1015 and the two side plates 1011 support the upper fixing plate 104 and lower fixing plate 105, thereby improving the structural strength of the upper fixing plate 104 and lower fixing plate 105.
[0049] This structure can greatly resist the huge magnetic attraction force, inertial force caused by acceleration and potential external impact force generated during heavy-load operation, effectively prevent the stator body from deforming, provide a stable and accurate mounting reference for the drive coil assembly 5 and the circuit board, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the motor during long-term operation.
[0050] Preferably, the front fixing plate 102, the rear fixing plate 103, the upper fixing plate 104, and the lower fixing plate 105 are fastened to the contact portion of the mounting positioning frame 101 by fasteners.
[0051] In one embodiment, the front fixing plate 102, the rear fixing plate 103, the upper fixing plate 104, the lower fixing plate 105, and the two side plates 1011 enclose a rectangular cavity. The rectangular cavity is filled with epoxy resin 15.
[0052] In this embodiment, epoxy resin 15 has good thermal conductivity. After potting, it can efficiently and evenly conduct the heat generated by the main heat sources such as the drive board 2 and drive coil assembly 5 to the entire mounting frame 1, making it a whole heat sink. This greatly improves the heat dissipation conditions of the internal components, significantly reduces the hot spot temperature, allows the motor to operate continuously at higher power without overheating, and directly improves the motor's load capacity and overload potential.
[0053] Meanwhile, after the epoxy resin 15 has cured, it firmly bonds all the internal independent components into a complete rigid whole. This completely eliminates the possibility of tiny gaps and loosening between components, enabling the stator to withstand the huge impact and vibration brought about by extreme heavy loads and high-frequency start-stop, effectively preventing fatigue fracture of internal solder joints and component displacement, and greatly improving the mechanical reliability and lifespan of the product under harsh working conditions.
[0054] In one embodiment, the void portion of the rectangular cavity is filled with a filler block 9.
[0055] In this embodiment, by pre-filling the large-area voids of the rectangular cavity with filler blocks 9 before potting with epoxy resin 15, the amount of epoxy resin 15 used can be reduced, thus lowering costs. The filler blocks 9 themselves can provide support and, together with the potting compound, suppress minor vibrations of internal components.
[0056] In one embodiment, a heat dissipation structure is provided on the outer side of the two side plates 1011.
[0057] This embodiment significantly increases the contact area between the stator and the surrounding air by providing heat dissipation structures, such as heat dissipation fins, toothed structures, or corrugated structures, on the outer sides of the two side plates 1011. Through natural convection or forced air cooling, the heat generated internally can be conducted to the side plates 1011 via the mounting frame 1 and epoxy resin 15 and dissipated into the environment more quickly, thereby directly and effectively reducing the operating temperature of the core components.
[0058] In one embodiment, an internal braking resistor 10 is also included; The drive board 2 has an internal braking resistor positive lead 201, a DC bus positive lead 202 and a braking circuit common terminal 203. The internal braking resistor 10 is connected to the positive lead 201 of the internal braking resistor; It also includes a control switch that controls the on / off state of the positive lead 201 of the internal braking resistor and the common terminal 203 of the braking circuit. The DC bus positive lead 202 and the common terminal 203 of the braking circuit can be used to connect and disconnect the external braking resistor 11, and the internal braking resistor 10 and the external braking resistor 11 can be operated selectively.
[0059] In this embodiment, the internal braking resistor 10 is integrated inside the linear motor stator, which greatly optimizes the overall structure of the equipment and reduces the need for additional installation space. This makes the linear motor module more compact and more integrated, making it particularly suitable for space-constrained automation equipment applications.
[0060] By selecting between the internal braking resistor 10 and the external braking resistor 11, users can flexibly configure the braking capacity according to actual application needs. Under normal or low-to-medium power braking requirements, the built-in resistor can be used, simplifying the system; when encountering scenarios requiring stronger braking power, such as high inertia or high load, the system can be easily switched to the external high-power resistor without changing the motor design, thus achieving on-demand configuration of braking capacity.
[0061] For low-power braking applications, users do not need to perform complex wiring for the braking circuit every time. In most cases, using built-in resistors eliminates the need for external connections, reduces installation complexity, decreases the probability of wiring errors, and improves the efficiency of equipment assembly and maintenance. In one embodiment, the drive board 2 further includes a DC bus negative line 204; The DC bus positive line 202 and DC bus negative line 204 are connected in parallel with capacitor line 205, braking resistor control line 206 and three-phase inverter bridge 207. A capacitor 208 is provided on the capacitor line 205; A diode 209 and a switching element 2010 are sequentially arranged on the braking resistor control line 206, and the common terminal line 203 of the braking circuit is led out from the braking resistor control line 206. The three-phase inverter bridge 207 is connected to the drive coil assembly 5 of the linear motor.
[0062] In this embodiment, capacitor 208 is connected in parallel with the DC bus, which can quickly absorb the instantaneous regenerative energy generated by the motor during braking and effectively suppress the spike impact of the DC bus voltage. By controlling the on and off of the switching element 2010, excess energy can be precisely guided to the internal braking resistor 10 or the external braking resistor 11 for consumption, thereby stabilizing the bus voltage within a safe range and protecting the subsequent three-phase inverter bridge 207 and the entire drive system.
[0063] Integrating the braking resistor control line 206, diode 209, and switching element 2010 onto the driver board 2 results in an extremely short path between the braking control circuit and the power circuit, improving the timeliness of the braking response. The addition of diode 209 ensures that the current can only flow unidirectionally to the braking resistor, effectively preventing current backflow that may occur under complex operating conditions, avoiding damage to the switching element 2010, and greatly enhancing the reliability of the circuit.
[0064] In one embodiment, the internal braking resistor 10 is disposed in conjunction with the side plate 1011 within the drive plate mounting cavity 1016.
[0065] In this embodiment, by attaching the internal braking resistor 10 to the side plate 1011 inside the drive board mounting cavity 1016, the large heat capacity and surface area of the side plate 1011 can be used to conduct out the large amount of heat generated by the internal braking resistor 10 when consuming braking energy. This avoids the accumulation of heat in the drive board mounting cavity 1016, effectively preventing the high temperature of the braking resistor from affecting the reliability of other precision electronic components on the drive board 2, and ensuring that the braking function can be used frequently without failure.
