Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to conductive The present invention relates to a conductive particle detector and a reducer using the conductive particle detector. [Background technology]

[0002] In devices that incorporate mechanical operating mechanisms such as reducers, the inside of the casing is filled with lubricating liquid to reduce wear of the operating mechanisms. In this type of device, metal powder is generated from the mechanical parts as the device is used over time, and the generated metal powder is mixed into the lubricating liquid. If a large amount of metal powder is mixed into the lubricating liquid, the function of the lubricating liquid to suppress wear of the operating mechanism is reduced. Furthermore, the presence of a large amount of metal powder in the lubricating liquid means that wear or damage has occurred in the operating mechanism.

[0003] For this reason, it is desirable for this type of device to be able to detect from the outside when the amount of metal powder in the lubricating fluid exceeds a specified amount. As a countermeasure, a device has been proposed in which the metal powder in the lubricating fluid is attracted by a permanent magnet, and the amount of attracted metal powder can be detected electrically (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] The metal powder detection device (conductive particle detection device) used in this equipment works by placing opposing electrodes across a gap on the outer surface of a cylindrical permanent magnet placed in the lubricating liquid, and detecting the resistance between the electrodes on either side of the gap to determine the amount of metal powder mixed in the lubricating liquid.

[0006] In recent years, a conductive particle detector using multiple conductive permanent magnets as electrodes has been proposed as the above-mentioned conductive particle detector. In this conductive particle detector, the conductive permanent magnets function both as an attracting part for conductive particles (e.g., metal powder) and as an electrode part. Each permanent magnet used in this conductive particle detector is connected to a resistance detection circuit on a detection board through wiring.

[0008] When fastening a permanent magnet with screws, it is necessary to form a screw hole in the permanent magnet, but it is generally difficult to form a highly accurate screw hole in a permanent magnet. Furthermore, when a conductive clamp fastener is used, the clamp fastener itself is a large component, which increases the size of the entire wiring structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments described below, the same reference numerals are used to designate common parts, and duplicated descriptions will be omitted.

[0021] First Embodiment FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wiring structure 1 of the first embodiment. The wiring structure 1 of this embodiment comprises a conductive permanent magnet 3, a flexible printed wiring board 2 which is a form of wiring, and a relay piece 4 made of a metal magnetic material connected to a conductive portion (not shown) on one end side of the flexible printed wiring board 2.

[0022] The permanent magnet 3 is formed in a rectangular plate shape with a constant thickness. The flexible printed wiring board 2 is formed in a band shape, and a conductive part (not shown) extends from one end side to the other end side in the longitudinal direction. The conductive part is covered with a flexible insulating layer 2a. One end side and the other end side of the conductive part are exposed to the outside of the insulating layer 2a as terminal parts (not shown).

[0023] The relay piece 4 is connected by solder to a terminal portion at one end of the flexible printed wiring board 2 in the longitudinal direction. As a result, the relay piece 4 is also electrically connected to the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2. The relay piece 4 is made of a metallic magnetic material to which the permanent magnet 3 can be magnetically attracted. The relay piece 4 is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate with approximately the same width as the flexible printed wiring board 2. The front and back surfaces of the relay piece 4 are flat. In this embodiment, the relay piece 4 is connected to the terminal portion (conductive portion) of the flexible printed wiring board 2 by soldering, but the relay piece 4 may be connected to the terminal portion (conductive portion) of the flexible printed wiring board 2 by a conductive adhesive. In this case, the relay piece 4 and the terminal portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 can be electrically connected by the conductive adhesive, and the relay piece 4 can be stably adhered and fixed to the wide flat surface of the end portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2.

[0024] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a process of connecting a relay piece 4 to a terminal portion (conductive portion) of a flexible printed wiring board 2 and then connecting a permanent magnet 3 to the relay piece 4. As shown in FIG. The permanent magnet 3 is attracted and fixed by magnetic force to a relay piece 4 connected to the flexible printed wiring board 2. In this embodiment, the permanent magnet 3 and the relay piece 4 are further bonded and fixed by a conductive adhesive.

[0025] Furthermore, a terminal portion on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the flexible printed wiring board 2 can be connected to a board having a resistance detection circuit or the like (not shown). In the case of this embodiment, a grommet 5, which is a sealing member, is integrally formed at a midway portion in the longitudinal direction of the flexible printed wiring board 2. When the wiring structure 1 is installed in a mechanical device such as a reducer, the grommet 5 seals the gap between the flexible printed wiring board 2 and a through hole in a casing of the mechanical device. In other words, the grommet 5 seals the gap between the lubricant-filled space in which the permanent magnet 3 is arranged and the board arrangement space (detection space) in which the board is arranged.

[0026] <Advantages of the First Embodiment> The wiring structure 1 of this embodiment includes a conductive permanent magnet 3, a flexible printed wiring board 2 (wiring) having a conductive portion, and a relay piece 4 made of a metallic magnetic material that is connected to the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 and to which the permanent magnet 3 is attracted and fixed by magnetic force. Therefore, when connecting the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 (wiring) to the conductive permanent magnet 3, it is sufficient to attract and fix the permanent magnet 3 to the relay piece 4, and there is no need to perform cutting work to form a screw hole or the like in the permanent magnet 3. Therefore, when the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment is adopted, the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 (wiring) can be easily connected to the conductive permanent magnet 3 without increasing the size of the connection portion.

[0027] Note that, as the wiring electrically connecting the permanent magnet 3 and the substrate, in addition to the flexible printed wiring board 2, it is also possible to adopt a coated conductor having a circular or rectangular cross section. However, when a flexible printed wiring board 2 is used as the wiring that electrically connects the permanent magnet 3 and the substrate, as in the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment, the wiring can be freely routed even in a narrow arrangement space, and the wiring shape can be stabilized. In addition, since the flexible printed wiring board 2 has a flat surface, the relay piece 4 can be stably supported on the flat surface of the flexible printed wiring board 2.

[0028] Furthermore, in the wiring structure 1 of this embodiment, the relay piece 4 and the permanent magnet 3 are also connected by a conductive adhesive. Therefore, the permanent magnet 3 can be firmly fixed to the relay piece 4 by the adhesive force of the conductive adhesive in addition to the attractive force of the permanent magnet 3. Furthermore, when actually connecting the permanent magnet 3 to the relay piece 4, it is sufficient to apply a conductive adhesive to at least one of the relay piece 4 and the permanent magnet 3 in advance, and then attract the permanent magnet 3 to the relay piece 4 by magnetic force in that state, so that the manufacture of the wiring structure 1 does not become complicated.

[0029] Furthermore, in the wiring structure 1 of the present embodiment, a flat surface is formed on the relay piece 4, and the permanent magnet 3 is attracted and fixed to the flat surface. Therefore, when this configuration is adopted, the electrical connection and mechanical fixation between the relay piece 4 and the permanent magnet 3 can be stabilized.

[0030] Furthermore, when the relay piece 4 is connected to the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 (wiring) using a conductive adhesive, even if the materials or structures of the relay piece 4 and the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 (wiring) are difficult to connect using solder, the relay piece 4 can be stably connected to the conductive portion of the flexible printed wiring board 2 (wiring) in a conductive state.

[0031] <Second embodiment> FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional side view of a reducer 10 according to the second embodiment. The reducer 10 includes a reduction mechanism 11 that reduces the input rotation to a predetermined reduction ratio, and a casing 12 that houses the reduction mechanism 11. The inside of the casing 12 is filled with lubricating liquid 13 for lubricating the reduction mechanism 11 and other mechanical contact parts. In addition, a conductive particle detector 14 is attached to a wall 12a of the casing 12. The conductive particle detector 14 detects conductive particles such as metal powder that are mixed into the lubricating liquid 13.

[0032] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a longitudinal section of a portion of the conductive particle detection device 14. Fig. 5 is an enlarged view of a portion V in Fig. 4, and Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line VI-VI in Fig. 4. The conductive particle detection device 14 includes a substantially cylindrical device body 16, a support block 17 fixed inside the device body 16, and a flexible printed wiring board 102 (wiring) supported by the support block 17. The conductive particle detection device 14 further includes four permanent magnets 3 connected to one end side in the longitudinal direction of the flexible printed wiring board 102 via relay pieces 4, and a detection board 18 connected to the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the flexible printed wiring board 102. The permanent magnets 3, the flexible printed wiring board 102, and the relay pieces 4 constitute a wiring structure 101 in this embodiment.

[0033] The device body 16 is attached to the casing 12 (see FIG. 3) of the reducer 10 by penetrating the wall 12a of the casing 12. The device body 16 is formed of, for example, metal. The device body 16 has a cylindrical fixed tube 16a that is fastened and fixed into a screw hole that penetrates the wall 12a of the casing 12, and a flange portion 16b that is integrally formed with an end portion of the fixed tube 16a (the end portion that is disposed on the outside of the casing 12).

[0034] A male screw 19 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed cylinder 16a to be screwed into a screw hole on the reducer 10 side. A cylindrical device cover 20 with a bottom is fixed to the outer end face of the flange portion 16b (the end face facing the outside of the casing 12) with a bolt 21 as a fastening member. The space between the device cover 20 and the flange portion 16b is sealed by a disk-shaped grommet 5 as a sealing member. The grommet 5 is formed integrally with a part of an insulating layer 102a of the flexible printed wiring board 102 as described later. The flexible printed wiring board 102 is integrated with the grommet 5 so as to penetrate the grommet 5 in the thickness direction.

[0035] A detection board 18 is attached to the outer end face of the grommet 5 (the end face facing the outside of the casing 12). The outside of the detection board 18 is covered by an equipment cover 20. The outer peripheral edge of the grommet 5 is sandwiched between the equipment cover 20 and the flange portion 16b and fixed to both. The grommet 5 seals the space between a lubricant filling space 22 (see FIG. 3) inside the casing 12 of the reducer 10 and a detection space 23 (the space inside the equipment cover 20) in which the detection board 18 is disposed.

[0036] The support block 17 is formed in a rectangular prism shape from a resin material. One end side in the longitudinal direction of the support block 17 (hereinafter referred to as the "base side") is fixed to the inside of the device body 16. The support block 17 is disposed along the axial direction of the fixed cylinder 16a. The other end side in the longitudinal direction of the support block 17 (hereinafter referred to as the "tip side") protrudes outward beyond the fixed cylinder 16a of the device body 16.

[0037] The outer peripheral surface and end surface of the tip side of the support block 17 are covered by a bottomed cylindrical detector cover 24. The detector cover 24 is integrally formed from a resin material. The detector cover 24 includes a peripheral wall 24a having four detection windows 25, and an end wall 24b that closes the axial end of the peripheral wall 24a. The four detection windows 25 of the peripheral wall 24a are disposed at equal intervals at positions spaced apart by approximately 90° on the outer periphery of the peripheral wall 24a. Each detection window 25 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. In addition, tapered surfaces 25a are provided on both edge portions of each detection window 25 along the circumferential direction of the peripheral wall 24a so that the opening area gradually increases toward the radially outward direction.

[0038] The end wall 24b of the detection unit cover 24 is riveted to the end face on the tip side of the support block 17. Reference numeral 26 in the drawing denotes a rivet for fixing the detection unit cover 24 to the support block 17.

[0039] FIG. 7 is a plan view of the flexible printed wiring board 102. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the flexible printed wiring board 102 of the present embodiment has a base 102b whose terminal portion (one end side of the conductive portion 50) is connected to the detection board 18, and a branch portion 102c whose one end side branches into four from the base 102b, and whose terminal portion (the other end side of the conductive portion 50) on each other end side is connected to each corresponding relay piece 4. The flexible printed wiring board 102 has a conductive portion 50 formed from the base 102b toward the tip of each branch portion 102c. The base 102b penetrates the grommet 5 in the thickness direction. The four branch portions 102c branched from the base 102b are arranged along the four faces on the outer periphery of the support block 17. The support grooves 27 (see FIG. 6) are formed on the four faces on the outer periphery of the support block 17 so as to be along the longitudinal direction of the support block 17. Each branch portion 102c is supported by the support groove 27 on each face of the support block 17.

[0040] A substantially rectangular relay piece 4 made of a magnetic metal is connected to the terminal portion at the tip side of each branch portion 102c by a conductive adhesive or soldering. Each relay piece 4 is supported by each support groove 27 together with the branch portion 102c at the tip side of the support block 17.

[0041] A corresponding permanent magnet 3 is attracted and fixed by magnetic force to the flat surface of each relay piece 4 facing the outer periphery of the support block 17. In the present embodiment, each permanent magnet 3 may also be fixed to the relay piece 4 by using a conductive adhesive in addition.

[0042] After the relay pieces 4 and the permanent magnets 3 are attached to each surface of the tip side of the support block 17 as described above, the detection unit cover 24 is then attached to the tip side of the support block 17. The detection unit cover 24 is aligned so that the four corresponding permanent magnets 3 are positioned inside the four detection windows 25 (inside the radial direction of the peripheral wall 24a). In this state, the detection unit cover 24 is riveted to the end surface of the support block 17. At this time, the end surface of the peripheral wall 24a of the detection unit cover 24 (the end surface opposite the end wall 24b) is abutted against the end surface of the fixed cylinder 16a of the device body 16.

[0043] The conductive particle detector 14 assembled as described above has its tip end (the permanent magnet 3 side) inserted into a screw hole in the wall 12a of the casing 12 of the reducer 10, and in this state, the fixed cylinder 16a of the device body 16 is screwed into the screw hole and fixed. When the casing 12 of the reducer 10 is filled with lubricating liquid 13 in this state, the multiple permanent magnets 3 and the detector cover 24 are submerged in the lubricating liquid 13.

[0044] The detection board 18 is equipped with a resistance detection circuit. The resistance detection circuit detects the electrical resistance between the multiple permanent magnets 3 adjacent to each other on the outer periphery of the support block 17. The multiple permanent magnets 3 on the outer periphery of the support block 17 are spaced apart from each other as shown in FIG. 6. Therefore, in the initial state in which the reducer 10 is submerged in the lubricating liquid 13, the resistance value between the adjacent permanent magnets 3 is infinite. When the amount of conductive particles (metal powder, etc.) mixed into the lubricating liquid 13 increases with the use of the reducer 10 from this state, the conductive particles mixed into the lubricating liquid 13 are attracted by the multiple permanent magnets 3 of the conductive particle detection device 14. The conductive particles thus attracted are attracted to the surface of each permanent magnet 3 through the detection window 25 of the detection unit cover 24, and are also attracted to the outer periphery of the detection unit cover 24 by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 3.

[0045] Lubricant 13 Conductive particles As the amount of conductive particles mixed in increases, the amount of conductive particles adsorbed on the outer circumferential surface of the detector cover 24 also increases. When the amount of conductive particles adsorbed on the outer circumferential surface of the detector cover 24 exceeds a certain amount, the resistance between adjacent permanent magnets 3 falls below a specified value, and this is detected by the detection board 18. If the detection board 18 is connected to a display device or warning device via a controller, it is possible to notify an operator or the like that the amount of conductive particles in the reducer 10 has increased above a specified amount.

[0046] <Effects of the second embodiment> As described above, the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment includes a plurality of conductive permanent magnets 3 arranged at a distance from each other, a detection board 18, a flexible printed wiring board 2 that connects the detection board 18 and each permanent magnet 3, and a relay piece 4 made of a metal magnetic material that is connected to the conductive part 50 on the permanent magnet 3 side of the flexible printed wiring board 2 and to which the permanent magnet 3 is attracted and fixed by magnetic force. Since the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment can attract and fix the conductive permanent magnet 3 to the relay piece 4 by magnetic force, when connecting the conductive part 50 of the flexible printed wiring board 2 and the conductive permanent magnet 3, it is not necessary to perform cutting work to form a screw hole or the like in the permanent magnet 3. Therefore, when the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment is adopted, the conductive part 50 of the flexible printed wiring board 2 and the conductive permanent magnet 3 can be easily connected without increasing the size of the connection part.

[0047] In the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment, when the conductive portion 50 of the flexible printed wiring board 102 and the relay piece 4 are connected by soldering, the relay piece 4 made of a metal magnetic material can be firmly fixed to the conductive portion 50 of the flexible printed wiring board 102.

[0048] Furthermore, in the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment, when the conductive portion 50 of the flexible printed wiring board 102 and the relay piece 4 are connected with a conductive adhesive, the relay piece 4 can be stably fixed in a conductive state to the conductive portion 50 of the flexible printed wiring board 102 even if the relay piece 4 and the conductive portion 50 of the flexible printed wiring are made of a material or have a structure that makes it difficult to fix them with solder.

[0049] Furthermore, in the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment, a flexible printed wiring board 102 is used as the wiring that electrically connects the permanent magnet 3 and the detection board 18. Therefore, the wiring can be freely routed even in the narrow arrangement space inside the conductive particle detection device 14, and the wiring shape can be stabilized.

[0050] Furthermore, in the conductive particle detection device 14 of this embodiment, a grommet 5 (sealing member) that seals the space between the lubricating liquid filling space 22 filled with the lubricating liquid 13 inside the reducer 10 and the detection space 23 in which the detection board 18 is disposed is integrally formed on the flexible printed wiring board 102. Therefore, while having a simple structure that is easy to manufacture and assemble, it is possible to reliably prevent the lubricating liquid 13 from flowing into the detection space 23.

[0051] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various design modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
