Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to a linear motion device according to the preamble of claim 1.
[0002] A linear motion device, also known as an electric cylinder, is known from DE 10 2007 043 391 A1. The linear motion device has a housing and a boom. The boom is movably mounted on the housing in a longitudinal direction and projects longitudinally out of the housing. The boom is otherwise contained within the housing. The linear motion device has essentially the same external shape as a pneumatic cylinder. However, it is driven by an electric motor. For this purpose, a threaded spindle is provided inside the housing, extending longitudinally and rotatably mounted on the housing. The threaded spindle engages with a nut that is attached to the end of the boom.
[0003] One advantage of the linear motion device according to the invention is that higher movement speeds of the boom are possible. In the known linear motion device, the movement speed of the boom is limited by the critical rotational speed of the threaded spindle. Furthermore, the linear motion device according to the invention is particularly cost-effective. In addition, a complex anti-rotation device between the housing and the boom is unnecessary.
[0004] According to the independent claim, it is proposed that a first and a second deflection pulley are provided, which are rotatably mounted at opposite ends of the housing with respect to the longitudinal direction. A traction element with a first and a second attachment point different from the first is provided, wherein the traction element wraps around the first and the second deflection pulleys and is rigidly connected to the boom at the first and the second attachment points. The traction element is preferably designed as a toothed belt, although the use of a chain is also conceivable. The first and / or the second deflection pulley are preferably designed as toothed belt pulleys. The maximum speed of movement of the boom depends solely on the tensile strength of the traction element and the mass to be accelerated on the boom. A speed-limiting bending critical speed is no longer present.Furthermore, the traction element and deflection pulleys are more cost-effective than the familiar threaded spindle with nut.
[0005] The dependent claims specify advantageous further developments and improvements of the invention.
[0006] It is possible to design the traction element as a finite length, with the first and second attachment points located at opposite ends. Mounting a finite traction element is particularly easy, as it can be readily cut to the required length. This allows for the simple implementation of linear motion devices of varying lengths. Alternatively, an endless toothed belt can be used.
[0007] It can be provided that the second deflection pulley is arranged next to the boom with respect to a vertical direction oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The traction element preferably runs in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction to achieve a particularly favorable force flow. This plane preferably intersects the boom so that the linear motion device requires minimal installation space. To prevent the boom from colliding with the second deflection pulley, the latter is arranged next to the boom as proposed above.
[0008] It is possible for the first deflection wheel to have a larger diameter than the second deflection wheel. The diameters of the deflection wheels are preferably selected such that the section of the traction element running between the first and second deflection wheels is aligned parallel to the longitudinal direction. This results in a particularly compact linear motion device.
[0009] It can be provided that the first deflection wheel is equipped with a drive mechanism by which it can be connected to an electric motor for rotary drive. Accordingly, preferably the larger of the two deflection wheels is driven, so that the traction element is subjected to low stress in the area of the driven deflection wheel.
[0010] The cantilever can be arranged, viewed in the vertical direction, between opposite side edges of the traction element. This allows the traction element to be very wide, resulting in high tensile strength and stiffness. At the same time, the linear motion device remains compact. The side edges of the traction element preferably extend parallel to the longitudinal direction and are spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal and vertical directions.
[0011] It may be provided that a separate drive element is rigidly connected to one end of the boom, with the traction element being rigidly connected to the drive element at the first and second attachment points. The boom preferably extends longitudinally with a constant cross-sectional shape, most preferably being designed as a circular tube. The drive element is preferably located inside the housing. Preferably, the traction element is clamped to the drive element at the first and / or second attachment point. This results in a particularly cost-effective linear motion device that is easy to assemble.
[0012] It can be provided that the first and second attachment points of the traction element are arranged at opposite ends of the driver with respect to the longitudinal direction. The traction element preferably has a straight course in the area of these attachment points, most preferably running parallel to the longitudinal direction. This avoids kinks in the traction element, thereby reducing the risk of breakage.
[0013] It can be provided that the first and second attachment points of the traction element are arranged on opposite sides of a central axis of the boom with respect to the vertical direction. This allows the diameter of the first deflection pulley to be particularly large, so that any drive forces that may occur there on the toothed belt are low. The traction element preferably has a straight course in the area of the aforementioned attachment points, most preferably running parallel to the longitudinal direction. The boom is preferably designed in the form of a circular cylindrical tube. The central axis of the boom preferably runs parallel to the longitudinal direction.
[0014] The second deflection pulley may be equipped with a tensioning device designed to tension the traction element. Accordingly, the tensioning device is preferably located on the smaller of the two deflection pulleys. It can therefore be designed to be particularly compact.
[0015] It can be provided that a pivot axis of the first deflection wheel is arranged next to the central axis of the boom with respect to the vertical direction. This pivot axis of the first deflection wheel is preferably arranged in a median plane of the housing, so that the latter is designed to be particularly compact. Preferably, the median plane runs along the geometric center of the housing with respect to the vertical direction.
[0016] A displacement measuring system can be provided which comprises an elongated measuring rod and a permanent magnet, wherein the arm is tubular in design, the measuring rod being attached to the housing at a first end, and extending into the interior of the tubular arm at a second end opposite the first, wherein the permanent magnet is attached to the arm, at least indirectly. The permanent magnet is preferably attached to the drive element. With such a displacement measuring system, the position of the arm relative to the housing can be measured in a simple manner. A displacement measuring system with a measuring rod and a permanent magnet is known, for example, from the datasheet that was available on February 19, 2015, at the internet address http: / / www.megatron.de / kategorie / potentiometrische-positionssensoren / download / 128.html.In conjunction with the proposed displacement measuring system, the traction element is preferably designed to be finite so that it does not cross or collide with the measuring rod.
[0017] The second end of the measuring rod can be designed to slide against the inside of the boom. This prevents lateral movement of the second end of the measuring rod. A separate support element is preferably attached to the second end of the measuring rod, which slides against the inside of the boom. The support element is preferably made of plastic.
[0018] It can be provided that the housing is internally supplied with a sliding surface against which the driver and / or the boom rests in a sliding manner, the sliding surface having a cross-sectional shape that deviates from a circular one. This results in an anti-rotation device between the boom and the housing, which is designed to be particularly simple and cost-effective. It should be noted that the traction drive according to the invention does not exert any forces on the anti-rotation device. The anti-rotation device serves solely to fix the rotational position of the boom relative to the housing. The cross-sectional shape of the sliding surface is, for example, elliptical. The sliding surface may have at least one interruption along its circumference.
[0019] It can be provided that the axis of rotation of the first and / or the second deflection wheel runs parallel to a transverse direction, with the transverse direction being perpendicular to the longitudinal and vertical directions. This results in a particularly compact linear motion device.
[0020] It is understood that the features mentioned above and those to be explained below can be used not only in the combinations specified, but also in other combinations or on their own, without leaving the scope of the present invention.
