Description

本発明は、締結力調整機構を有する、締結部を備えた装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a device having a fastening portion and having a fastening force adjusting mechanism.

複数の部材が締結されている装置内に発熱部品が存在したり、外気温が大きく変化したりすることで、装置内に温度変化が生じると、各部材が熱膨張または熱収縮する。各部材の熱変化量(熱膨張量または熱収縮量)は、装置内の温度変化量や各部材を構成する材質に依存する。このため、締結されている部材同士に温度差が生じた場合や、温度差がない場合でも異なる材質の部材が締結されている場合には、温度変化によって締結される部材同士の熱変化量に差が生じ、それにより熱応力が発生する。そして、締結される部材間で、平面方向の熱応力が、締結力による摩擦力以上に負荷されると、スティックスリップ現象が発生し、音鳴りが起こる。音鳴りは、時に耳障りであったり、製品上は問題がなくとも、製品使用者を不安にさせたりすることがあるため、製品価値を下げる可能性がある。このため、製品価値向上の観点から、これまでに、スティックスリップ現象を抑制し、音鳴りを防ぐ様々な技術の開発が行われてきた。 When a temperature change occurs in the device due to the presence of heat-generating parts in the device to which a plurality of members are fastened or a large change in the outside air temperature, each member thermally expands or contracts. The amount of heat change (heat expansion amount or heat shrinkage amount) of each member depends on the amount of temperature change in the apparatus and the material constituting each member. Therefore, when there is a temperature difference between the fastened members, or when members of different materials are fastened even if there is no temperature difference, the amount of heat change between the fastened members due to the temperature change is applied. A difference is created, which causes thermal stress. Then, when the thermal stress in the plane direction is applied between the members to be fastened more than the frictional force due to the fastening force, a stick-slip phenomenon occurs and a noise is generated. The noise may be jarring at times, or even if there is no problem with the product, it may make the product user uneasy, which may reduce the product value. Therefore, from the viewpoint of improving the product value, various techniques for suppressing the stick-slip phenomenon and preventing noise have been developed so far.

特許文献1では、熱膨張または熱収縮の変化が顕著である部分に隙間(クリアランス)を設け、部材同士の接触箇所を限定することで、スティックスリップ現象を抑制する方法を開示している。 Patent Document 1 discloses a method of suppressing a stick-slip phenomenon by providing a gap (clearance) in a portion where a change in thermal expansion or contraction is remarkable and limiting contact points between members.

また、特許文献2および3では、締結面に潤滑剤を含む被膜を介在させることで、部材同士の熱膨張差をなくし、スティックスリップ現象を抑制する方法を開示している。 Further, Patent Documents 2 and 3 disclose a method of suppressing a stick-slip phenomenon by eliminating a difference in thermal expansion between members by interposing a coating film containing a lubricant on the fastening surface.

特開平9-147612号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 9-147612 特開平10-184447号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 10-184447 特開2002-163921号公報JP-A-2002-163921

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の方法では、隙間を設け、部材同士の接触箇所を限定するため、当該接触箇所に締結力が集中し破損する恐れや、装置全体の締結力が低下する恐れがあった。また、部材の締結箇所でのスティックスリップ現象は抑制できない可能性があり、隙間を設けることができない製品、例えば、シールド部品などでは、適用自体難しい場合があった。 However, in the method described in Patent Document 1, since a gap is provided to limit the contact points between the members, the fastening force may be concentrated on the contact points to cause damage, or the fastening force of the entire device may decrease. rice field. In addition, the stick-slip phenomenon at the fastening points of the members may not be suppressed, and it may be difficult to apply the stick-slip phenomenon to products that cannot provide a gap, for example, shield parts.

特許文献2および3に記載の被膜を介在させる方法では、締結される部材間の温度差が大きい場合や、部材を構成する材質の線膨張係数(熱膨張率:coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE))が大きく異なる場合には、スティックスリップ現象を抑制できない場合があった。 In the method of interposing the coating film described in Patent Documents 2 and 3, when the temperature difference between the members to be fastened is large or the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the material constituting the member is large. In some cases, the stick-slip phenomenon could not be suppressed when the coefficients were significantly different.

従って、スティックスリップ現象の発生を防ぐ新たな技術の開発が求められおり、さらに、近年、電子機器などの製品の小型化が進んでいることから、このような小型製品にも適用できる技術の開発が求められていた。 Therefore, the development of new technology to prevent the occurrence of the stick-slip phenomenon is required, and since the miniaturization of products such as electronic devices has been progressing in recent years, the development of technology that can be applied to such small products is also required.

締結部を備えた装置の一例を示す概略断面図である。It is a schematic sectional drawing which shows an example of the apparatus provided with a fastening part. 本発明に係る締結部を備えた装置における締結部の構造の一例を示す概略部分断面図である。It is a schematic partial sectional view which shows an example of the structure of the fastening part in the apparatus provided with the fastening part which concerns on this invention. 図2に示す締結部の締結力が解除された状態を示す概略部分断面図である。FIG. 3 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which the fastening force of the fastening portion shown in FIG. 2 is released. 本発明に係る締結部を備えた装置における締結部の構造の別の例を示す概略部分断面図である。It is a schematic partial sectional view which shows another example of the structure of the fastening part in the apparatus provided with the fastening part which concerns on this invention. 図4に示す締結部の締結力が解除された状態を示す概略部分断面図である。FIG. 3 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which the fastening force of the fastening portion shown in FIG. 4 is released.

まず、図1に、締結部を備えた装置の一例の概略断面図を示す。図1には、筐体100内に、第1の部材101である材質が金属のシールド部品と、第2の部材102である材質が金属のベースプレートと、これらの部材を締結する締結部材104(ボルトおよびナット)とが配置された締結部を備えた装置が記載されている。そして、当該装置では、第2の部材102に近接して発熱部品103が配置されている。 First, FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of a device provided with a fastening portion. In FIG. 1, in the housing 100, a shield component whose material is a metal as a first member 101, a base plate whose material is a metal as a second member 102, and a fastening member 104 for fastening these members ( Devices with fasteners (bolts and nuts) are described. Then, in the device, the heat generating component 103 is arranged in the vicinity of the second member 102.

ここで、例えば、寒冷地に置かれた状態で、当該装置の電源がONにされると、発熱部品103が発熱し、まず第2の部材102の温度が上昇する。この際、第1の部材101に温度が伝わるまでに時間がかかるため、第1の部材101と第2の部材102との間に温度差が発生し、両部材間でスティックスリップ現象による音鳴りが発生する場合があった。また、両部材の線膨張係数が大きく異なる場合には、この現象がより起こりやすくなる。 Here, for example, when the power of the apparatus is turned on while the device is placed in a cold region, the heat generating component 103 generates heat, and the temperature of the second member 102 first rises. At this time, since it takes time for the temperature to be transmitted to the first member 101, a temperature difference occurs between the first member 101 and the second member 102, and a sound due to the stick-slip phenomenon occurs between the two members. May occur. Further, when the linear expansion coefficients of the two members are significantly different, this phenomenon is more likely to occur.

しかしながら、本発明に係る締結部を備えた装置(以下、本装置と称することがある)では、ピエゾ素子を用いたアクチュエータを締結部に組み込み、ピエゾ素子に電圧を印加し、素子を伸縮させることで、締結部の締結力を調整できる。従って、本装置では、装置内で温度変化が生じた際、より具体的には、部材の熱変化(熱膨張など)が発生している間のみ、締結力を小さくすることで、締結部の平面方向を滑りやすくし、スティックスリップ現象を抑制し、音鳴りを防ぐことができる。このように、本装置では、締結力を装置の熱変化時に調整(例えば、熱膨張時に小さく)することで、スティックスリップ現象を起こさず締結部材が滑れるようにし、温度が安定した(例えば、熱膨張しきった)後に、再び締結力を戻すことができる。 However, in the device provided with the fastening portion according to the present invention (hereinafter, may be referred to as the present device), an actuator using a piezo element is incorporated in the fastening portion, and a voltage is applied to the piezo element to expand and contract the element. With, the fastening force of the fastening portion can be adjusted. Therefore, in this device, when a temperature change occurs in the device, more specifically, only while a thermal change (thermal expansion, etc.) of the member is occurring, the fastening force is reduced to reduce the fastening force of the fastening portion. It can make the plane slippery, suppress the stick-slip phenomenon, and prevent noise. In this way, in this device, the fastening force is adjusted (for example, small during thermal expansion) when the device is thermally changed so that the fastening member can slide without causing a stick-slip phenomenon, and the temperature is stable (for example, heat). After it has fully expanded), the fastening force can be restored again.

以下、本発明を適用した具体的な実施形態について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。ただし、本発明が以下の実施形態に限定される訳ではない。また、説明を明確にするため、以下の記載及び図面は、適宜、簡略化されている。 Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments. Further, in order to clarify the explanation, the following description and drawings are appropriately simplified.

<締結部を備えた装置>
本装置は、図2に示すように、第1の部材1と、第2の部材2と、前記第1の部材1および前記第2の部材2を締結する締結部材とを有する。締結部材は、電圧の印加により伸縮するピエゾ素子5を含む締結力調整機構を備える。また、締結力調整機構は、第1の部材1と第2の部材2との間の加圧力が所定の値以上となった際に、ピエゾ素子5に電圧を印加することで、締結部の締結力を調整する。第1の部材1と第2の部材2との間の加圧力が増大する例としては、上述したように、両部材の間に温度差が生じた場合や、両部材の線膨張係数が大きく異なる場合に、両部材の熱変化量(例えば、熱膨張量、熱収縮量)の間に差が生じることが原因として考えられる。
<Device with fastening part>
As shown in FIG. 2, the present apparatus has a first member 1, a second member 2, and a fastening member for fastening the first member 1 and the second member 2. The fastening member includes a fastening force adjusting mechanism including a piezo element 5 that expands and contracts when a voltage is applied. Further, the fastening force adjusting mechanism applies a voltage to the piezo element 5 when the pressing force between the first member 1 and the second member 2 becomes a predetermined value or more, so that the fastening portion can be joined. Adjust the fastening force. As an example of the increase in the pressing force between the first member 1 and the second member 2, as described above, when a temperature difference occurs between the two members or the linear expansion coefficient of both members is large. If they are different, it is considered that the cause is that a difference occurs between the amount of thermal change (for example, the amount of thermal expansion and the amount of thermal contraction) of both members.

従って、本装置は、締結部、具体的には、第1の部材1と第2の部材2との間に、加圧力(締結力)を測定するための圧力測定手段(例えば、加圧計など)(不図示)を配置することができる。なお、図2および図4に示すような実施形態の場合は、第1の部材1と第1のシャフトカラー4との間や、第2の部材2と第2のシャフトカラー6との間に圧力測定手段を挟み込んで配置することもできる。そして、加圧力が所定値以上になった場合には、上記圧力測定手段の値が所定値より小さくなるように、ピエゾ素子に電圧を印加し、締結部の締結力を制御することができる。 Therefore, the present device is a pressure measuring means (for example, a pressure gauge, etc.) for measuring a pressing force (fastening force) between the fastening portion, specifically, the first member 1 and the second member 2. ) (Not shown) can be placed. In the case of the embodiment as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, between the first member 1 and the first shaft collar 4 or between the second member 2 and the second shaft collar 6. It is also possible to arrange the pressure measuring means by sandwiching it. Then, when the pressing force becomes a predetermined value or more, a voltage can be applied to the piezo element so that the value of the pressure measuring means becomes smaller than the predetermined value, and the fastening force of the fastening portion can be controlled.

また、第1の部材1と第2の部材2との間に温度差が生じるような構成の装置の場合は、第1の部材1および第2の部材2の温度を測定する温度センサなどの温度測定手段(不図示)を備えることができる。このような構成の場合は、両部材の温度差が、両部材の間の加圧力に大きく影響する。このため、第1の部材1と第2の部材2との温度差が所定値以上となった場合に、加圧力が所定値以上になったと判断して、上記圧力測定手段の値が所定値より小さくなるように、ピエゾ素子に電圧を印加し、締結部の締結力を制御してもよい。なお、本装置では、ピエゾ素子に電圧を印加する際に、両部材の温度差と加圧力の両方をチェックした上で制御を行ってもよい。 Further, in the case of a device having a configuration in which a temperature difference occurs between the first member 1 and the second member 2, a temperature sensor or the like for measuring the temperature of the first member 1 and the second member 2 may be used. A temperature measuring means (not shown) can be provided. In such a configuration, the temperature difference between the two members greatly affects the pressing force between the two members. Therefore, when the temperature difference between the first member 1 and the second member 2 becomes a predetermined value or more, it is determined that the pressing force becomes a predetermined value or more, and the value of the pressure measuring means is a predetermined value. A voltage may be applied to the piezo element to control the fastening force of the fastening portion so as to be smaller. In this device, when applying a voltage to the piezo element, control may be performed after checking both the temperature difference and the pressing force of both members.

本装置では、第1および第2の部材の少なくとも一方で、温度測定手段により所定値(温度)以上の温度変化が検出され、かつ圧力測定手段により測定される両部材の間の加圧力が所定値以上であった場合に、ピエゾ素子に電圧を印加し締結部の締結力を制御してもよい。ここで、スティックスリップ現象は、一定値以上の加圧力と、平面方向(横方向)のずれが合わさった際に生じると考えられる。このため、まず、温度変化の検出により平面方向のずれを検知した後、加圧力が所定の値以上である場合にピエゾ素子に電圧を印加し、締結力を制御することで、より確実にスティックスリップ現象を抑制することができる。 In this device, a temperature change of a predetermined value (temperature) or more is detected by the temperature measuring means on at least one of the first and second members, and the pressing force between the two members measured by the pressure measuring means is predetermined. When the value is equal to or higher than the value, a voltage may be applied to the piezo element to control the fastening force of the fastening portion. Here, the stick-slip phenomenon is considered to occur when a pressing force of a certain value or more and a deviation in the plane direction (lateral direction) are combined. For this reason, first, after detecting the deviation in the plane direction by detecting the temperature change, a voltage is applied to the piezo element when the pressing force is equal to or more than a predetermined value, and the fastening force is controlled to more reliably stick. The slip phenomenon can be suppressed.

なお、上記締結力調整機構が稼働する際の第1の部材1と第2の部材2との具体的な温度差(℃)や両部材の温度変化量(℃)は、適用される装置の用途やスティックスリップ現象(音鳴り)の発生状況等から適宜設定することができ、特に限定されない。したがって、上記温度差および温度変化における所定値は、本発明の効果が得られる範囲で、適宜設定することができる。
また、上記締結力調整機構が稼働する際の加圧力の所定値および締結力の制御値も、適用される装置の用途やスティックスリップ現象(音鳴り)の発生状況等から、本発明の効果が得られる範囲で適宜設定することができ、特に限定されない。しかしながら、部材同士の締結力が完全にゼロとなり、締結が解除されると、第1の部材1と第2の部材2との間や、第2の部材2と第2のシャフトカラー6との間等に、図3および図5に示すように、隙間Aが生じる可能性がある。このため、装置内に温度変化が生じ、部材の熱膨張などが生じている場合であっても、締結部における締結力は完全に解除することなく、弱める(締結力を小さくする)ことで、スティックスリップ現象を抑制することが好ましい。このような制御方法を適用すれば、装置全体の締結力を維持することができ、電子機器や照明器具、シール部品など様々な装置に本発明を適用することができる。
The specific temperature difference (° C.) between the first member 1 and the second member 2 and the temperature change amount (° C.) of both members when the fastening force adjusting mechanism operates are determined by the applicable device. It can be appropriately set depending on the intended use and the occurrence status of the stick-slip phenomenon (sounding), and is not particularly limited. Therefore, the predetermined values for the temperature difference and the temperature change can be appropriately set within the range in which the effect of the present invention can be obtained.
Further, the predetermined value of the pressing force and the control value of the fastening force when the fastening force adjusting mechanism is operated are also effective in the present invention depending on the application of the applied device and the occurrence of the stick-slip phenomenon (sounding). It can be appropriately set within the obtained range, and is not particularly limited. However, when the fastening force between the members becomes completely zero and the fastening is released, between the first member 1 and the second member 2 and between the second member 2 and the second shaft collar 6. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a gap A may occur in the space or the like. Therefore, even if a temperature change occurs in the device and thermal expansion of the member occurs, the fastening force at the fastening portion is not completely released but is weakened (the fastening force is reduced). It is preferable to suppress the stick-slip phenomenon. By applying such a control method, the fastening force of the entire device can be maintained, and the present invention can be applied to various devices such as electronic devices, lighting fixtures, and sealing parts.

このように、本装置は、ピエゾ素子を用いた締付力調整機構を備えており、装置内に温度変化が生じた際、締結されている部材間の温度差および線膨張係数の差によって発生するスティックスリップ現象が原因で起こる音鳴りを防ぐことができる。 As described above, this device is equipped with a tightening force adjusting mechanism using a piezo element, and when a temperature change occurs in the device, it is generated by the difference in temperature and the coefficient of linear expansion between the fastened members. It is possible to prevent the noise caused by the stick-slip phenomenon.

図2~図5に、本装置における締結部の構造、より具体的には、ピエゾ素子を用いた締結力調整機構の動作を説明するための概略部分断面図を示す。ここで、図2および図4は、本装置の2つの実施形態における第1の部材および第2の部材の締結状態を示す図であり、図3および図5は、本装置の2つの実施形態における第1の部材および第2の部材の締結が解除された(締結力がゼロの)状態を示す図である。 2 to 5 show a schematic partial cross-sectional view for explaining the structure of the fastening portion in the present device, more specifically, the operation of the fastening force adjusting mechanism using the piezo element. Here, FIGS. 2 and 4 are views showing a fastening state of the first member and the second member in the two embodiments of the present apparatus, and FIGS. 3 and 5 are views of two embodiments of the present apparatus. It is a figure which shows the state which the fastening of the 1st member and the 2nd member is released (the fastening force is zero) in the above.

図2に示す装置では、締結部材が、皿付きシャフト3と、第1のシャフトカラー4と、底面部6a付きの第2のシャフトカラー6と、円筒状ピエゾ素子5とを備える。締結部材は、この他に、ばね部7、ばね抑え8および印加線11を有することもできる。ここで、皿付きシャフト3は、第1の部材1と第2の部材2との締結部を貫通するシャフト部3aと、第1の部材側に配された皿部3bとを含む。 In the apparatus shown in FIG. 2, the fastening member includes a countersunk shaft 3, a first shaft collar 4, a second shaft collar 6 with a bottom surface portion 6a, and a cylindrical piezo element 5. In addition to this, the fastening member may have a spring portion 7, a spring restraint 8, and an application line 11. Here, the shaft 3 with a dish includes a shaft portion 3a penetrating the fastening portion between the first member 1 and the second member 2, and a dish portion 3b arranged on the side of the first member.

また、第1のシャフトカラー4は、第1の部材1と、皿部3bとの間を固定するものであり、第1の部材側に配され、例えば、円筒形状を有する。このように、皿付きシャフト3の皿部3bと、第1の部材1との間には、円筒状の第1のシャフトカラー4をかませている。第1のシャフトカラー4を構成する材料は、スティックスリップ現象を抑制する観点から、円筒状ピエゾ素子5を構成する材料と線膨張係数が近い値であることが好ましい。 Further, the first shaft collar 4 is for fixing between the first member 1 and the dish portion 3b, is arranged on the first member side, and has, for example, a cylindrical shape. In this way, a cylindrical first shaft collar 4 is bitten between the dish portion 3b of the dished shaft 3 and the first member 1. The material constituting the first shaft collar 4 preferably has a coefficient of linear expansion close to that of the material constituting the cylindrical piezo element 5 from the viewpoint of suppressing the stick-slip phenomenon.

さらに、第2のシャフトカラー6は、第2の部材2と、シャフト部3aとの間を固定し、前記第2の部材側に配され、底面部6aを有する。シャフト部3aは、底面部6aと接することで固定されている。より具体的には、皿付きシャフト3は、第1の部材1および第2の部材2の貫通孔(締結用の孔)に挿入されており、第2の部材2と接するように、底面部付き第2のシャフトカラー6が皿付きシャフト3に挿入されている。第2のシャフトカラー6を構成する材料は、スティックスリップ現象を抑制する観点から、円筒状ピエゾ素子5を構成する材料と線膨張係数が近い値であることが好ましい。 Further, the second shaft collar 6 is fixed between the second member 2 and the shaft portion 3a, is arranged on the second member side, and has a bottom surface portion 6a. The shaft portion 3a is fixed by being in contact with the bottom surface portion 6a. More specifically, the countersunk shaft 3 is inserted into a through hole (a hole for fastening) of the first member 1 and the second member 2, and has a bottom surface portion so as to be in contact with the second member 2. The attached second shaft collar 6 is inserted into the countersunk shaft 3. The material constituting the second shaft collar 6 preferably has a coefficient of linear expansion close to that of the material constituting the cylindrical piezo element 5 from the viewpoint of suppressing the stick-slip phenomenon.

また、第2のシャフトカラー6は、ばね部7(ばね)によって押さえつけられている。そして、ばね部7は、ばね抑え8に抑えられ、ばね抑え8は、皿付きシャフト3に固定されている。ばね部7は、第2のシャフトカラー6を皿付きシャフト3の軸方向に移動可能にしている。 Further, the second shaft collar 6 is pressed by the spring portion 7 (spring). The spring portion 7 is suppressed by the spring restraint 8, and the spring restraint 8 is fixed to the countersunk shaft 3. The spring portion 7 makes the second shaft collar 6 movable in the axial direction of the countersunk shaft 3.

ピエゾ素子5は、皿部3bと底面部6aとの間に皿付きシャフト3の軸方向に沿って配され、締結部を貫通しており、その形状は例えば円筒状である。 The piezo element 5 is arranged between the dish portion 3b and the bottom surface portion 6a along the axial direction of the countersunk shaft 3 and penetrates the fastening portion, and the shape thereof is, for example, a cylinder.

なお、ピエゾ素子5としては、電圧を印加した際に、厚さ方向(皿付きシャフトの軸方向)の寸法が縮むものを用いてもよいし、電圧を印加した際に厚さ方向の寸法が伸びるものを用いてもよい。例えば、図2に示す締結部において、円筒状ピエゾ素子5と第1のシャフトカラー4とばね部とを設ける代わりに、皿部3bと第1の部材1との間に、電圧印加により寸法が縮むピエゾ素子を配置し、部材の熱膨張時に電圧を印加することで、締結部の締結力を弱めてもよい。しかしながら、当該構成では、電圧非印加時である通常の締結時に、常にピエゾ素子に締結圧縮力がかかる。一方、電圧印加により寸法が伸びるピエゾ素子を用いた場合には、図2および図4に示すように、電圧非印加時には、ピエゾ素子5と他の部材(ここでは底面部6a)との間には、隙間Cが存在しており、ピエゾ素子に締結圧縮力がかかることはない。このため、ピエゾ素子の疲労強度の観点から、ピエゾ素子としては、電圧印加時にのみ圧力がかかり、圧力がかかる時間が限定される、電圧印加により寸法が伸びるものを用いることが好ましい。 As the piezo element 5, an element whose thickness direction (axial direction of the countersunk shaft) shrinks when a voltage is applied may be used, or when a voltage is applied, the dimension in the thickness direction becomes smaller. A stretchable material may be used. For example, in the fastening portion shown in FIG. 2, instead of providing the cylindrical piezo element 5, the first shaft collar 4, and the spring portion, the dimensions are increased by applying a voltage between the countersunk portion 3b and the first member 1. By arranging a shrinking piezo element and applying a voltage during thermal expansion of the member, the fastening force of the fastening portion may be weakened. However, in this configuration, the piezo element is always subjected to the fastening compressive force during normal fastening when no voltage is applied. On the other hand, when a piezo element whose dimension is increased by applying a voltage is used, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, when no voltage is applied, the piezo element 5 is between the other member (here, the bottom surface portion 6a). There is a gap C, and the fastening compressive force is not applied to the piezo element. Therefore, from the viewpoint of the fatigue strength of the piezo element, it is preferable to use a piezo element whose size is increased by applying a voltage, in which pressure is applied only when a voltage is applied and the time for which the pressure is applied is limited.

ここで、隙間Cは、図2に示す締結部では、皿部3bの裏面(第1の部材側の面)から底面部6aのおもて面(第2の部材側の面)までの距離(長さ)から、円筒状ピエゾ素子の軸方向の厚み(寸法)を引いたものである。一方、図4に示す締結部では、皿部の裏面から底面部の表面までの距離から、第3のシャフトカラー9と円筒状ピエゾ素子5の厚みを合わせた寸法を引いたものである。図2および図4に示す実施形態では、電圧を印加することにより、ピエゾ素子の寸法が軸方向に伸びることで、締結部の締結力を調整する(弱める)ため、電圧非印加時において隙間Cが存在するように各部材の寸法を調整することが好ましい。 Here, the gap C is the distance from the back surface of the dish portion 3b (the surface on the first member side) to the front surface of the bottom surface portion 6a (the surface on the second member side) in the fastening portion shown in FIG. It is obtained by subtracting the axial thickness (dimensions) of the cylindrical piezo element from (length). On the other hand, in the fastening portion shown in FIG. 4, the dimension obtained by subtracting the total thickness of the third shaft collar 9 and the cylindrical piezo element 5 from the distance from the back surface of the dish portion to the front surface of the bottom surface portion. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the dimension of the piezo element is expanded in the axial direction by applying a voltage, so that the fastening force of the fastening portion is adjusted (weakened), so that the gap C is not applied when the voltage is not applied. It is preferable to adjust the dimensions of each member so that

印加線11は、円筒状ピエゾ素子5に電圧を印加するためのものであり、第2のシャフトカラー6が有する貫通孔を通って、電源回路(不図示)へ接続されている。 The application line 11 is for applying a voltage to the cylindrical piezo element 5, and is connected to a power supply circuit (not shown) through a through hole included in the second shaft collar 6.

また、図4に示すように、皿部3bと、円筒状ピエゾ素子5との間に、皿付きシャフト3の軸方向に沿って、加熱用ヒータ等の加熱手段10を備えた第3のシャフトカラー9(内側シャフトカラー)を配してもよい。具体的には、第1の部材1と第2の部材2とを締結させる際に、皿付きシャフト3のシャフト部3aに、円筒状のピエゾ素子5と、第3のシャフトカラー9とを通して配置する。ここで、第3のシャフトカラー9は、スティックスリップ現象を抑制する観点から、第1の部材1および第2の部材2をそれぞれ構成する材料以上の線膨張係数を有する材料で構成されることが好ましい。第3のシャフトカラー9の周囲には、加熱手段10が巻き付けてあり、加熱手段10は、皿付きシャフト3の皿部3bの孔12を通って、電源回路(不図示)へ接続されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a third shaft provided with a heating means 10 such as a heating heater between the dish portion 3b and the cylindrical piezo element 5 along the axial direction of the dished shaft 3. Color 9 (inner shaft color) may be arranged. Specifically, when the first member 1 and the second member 2 are fastened, the cylindrical piezo element 5 and the third shaft collar 9 are arranged through the shaft portion 3a of the countersunk shaft 3. do. Here, the third shaft collar 9 may be made of a material having a linear expansion coefficient higher than that of the materials constituting the first member 1 and the second member 2, from the viewpoint of suppressing the stick-slip phenomenon. preferable. A heating means 10 is wound around the third shaft collar 9, and the heating means 10 is connected to a power supply circuit (not shown) through a hole 12 of the dish portion 3b of the dished shaft 3. ..

次に、本装置における締結力調整機構に関して、図2および図4の締結部の締結状態(初期状態)を示す図を用いて、より詳しく説明する。
上述した通り、円筒状ピエゾ素子5と、底面部付き第2のシャフトカラー6の底面部6aとの間には、電圧非印加時には、長さCの隙間が設けられている。この状態で、円筒状ピエゾ素子5に電圧を印加すると、円筒状ピエゾ素子5の厚み方向の寸法が伸びる。なお、本装置では、スティックスリップ現象の抑制のために締結力を調整する際、締結力を弱めるのみで完全に解除することはない。しかしながら、電圧印加による円筒状ピエゾ素子5をはじめとした各部材の厚みの変化をより理解しやすくするために、図3および図5に、電圧を印加して締結部の締結を完全に解除した状態の図を示している。ここで、円筒状ピエゾ素子5の伸びを、符号Bとする。伸びBが隙間Cの長さを上回った場合には、ばね部7が押し下げられ、図3に示すように、隙間Aが生じ、締結部の締結が解除されることになる。本装置では、締結部の締結が解除されない範囲で、円筒状ピエゾ素子5に電圧を印加する。なお、隙間Aは以下の式(1)で表される。
隙間A=伸びB-隙間C 式(1)
Next, the fastening force adjusting mechanism in this apparatus will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing the fastening state (initial state) of the fastening portions of FIGS. 2 and 4.
As described above, a gap having a length C is provided between the cylindrical piezo element 5 and the bottom surface portion 6a of the second shaft collar 6 with a bottom surface portion when no voltage is applied. When a voltage is applied to the cylindrical piezo element 5 in this state, the dimension of the cylindrical piezo element 5 in the thickness direction is increased. In this device, when adjusting the fastening force to suppress the stick-slip phenomenon, the fastening force is only weakened and not completely released. However, in order to make it easier to understand the change in the thickness of each member including the cylindrical piezo element 5 due to the application of voltage, a voltage was applied in FIGS. 3 and 5 to completely release the fastening of the fastening portion. The figure of the state is shown. Here, the elongation of the cylindrical piezo element 5 is designated as a reference numeral B. When the extension B exceeds the length of the gap C, the spring portion 7 is pushed down, a gap A is formed as shown in FIG. 3, and the fastening of the fastening portion is released. In this device, a voltage is applied to the cylindrical piezo element 5 within the range in which the fastening of the fastening portion is not released. The gap A is represented by the following equation (1).
Gap A = Elongation B-Gap C formula (1)

ここで、本装置は温度変化が起こる環境での使用を想定しているため、円筒状ピエゾ素子5以外にも、他の部材が温度変化により熱膨張または熱収縮することで、寸法の変化が起こる場合もある。なお、電圧を印加した際のピエゾ素子の伸びは、印加電圧にもよるが、通常、150V前後の印加電圧の場合、元の長さの0.1%オーダーとなる。一方、材料の熱膨張の特性値である線膨張係数(CTE)は、材質により異なるが、おおよそ0.001~0.01%オーダーである。熱膨張による伸びは、以下の式(2)で表される。
熱膨張での伸び=元の長さ×CTE×温度変化 式(2)
Here, since this device is supposed to be used in an environment where temperature changes occur, dimensional changes occur due to thermal expansion or contraction of other members other than the cylindrical piezo element 5 due to temperature changes. It may happen. The elongation of the piezo element when a voltage is applied depends on the applied voltage, but is usually on the order of 0.1% of the original length in the case of an applied voltage of around 150 V. On the other hand, the coefficient of linear expansion (CTE), which is a characteristic value of thermal expansion of a material, varies depending on the material, but is on the order of about 0.001 to 0.01%. The elongation due to thermal expansion is expressed by the following equation (2).
Elongation due to thermal expansion = original length x CTE x temperature change equation (2)

装置内の温度変化が、数℃の範囲内であれば、ピエゾ素子の伸びに対して、熱膨張による各部材の伸びは無視できるレベルだが、数十℃~百数十℃の温度変化となると、無視できない可能性がある。このように、装置内の温度変化に伴う各部材(第1および第2の部材、第1および第2のシャフトカラー)の熱膨張が無視できないほど大きい場合は、図4に示すように、加熱手段10を備えた第3のシャフトカラー9を装置内に配置することが好ましい。
以下、図4に示す締結部について詳しく説明する。なお、締結部における各部材の熱膨張についてより理解しやすくするために、図5に、図4に示す締結部の締結が解除された状態を表す図を示す。
If the temperature change in the device is within the range of several degrees Celsius, the elongation of each member due to thermal expansion is negligible with respect to the elongation of the piezo element, but when the temperature changes from several tens of degrees Celsius to several hundreds of degrees Celsius. , May not be negligible. As described above, when the thermal expansion of each member (first and second members, first and second shaft collars) due to the temperature change in the apparatus is not negligible, heating is performed as shown in FIG. It is preferable to arrange the third shaft collar 9 provided with the means 10 in the apparatus.
Hereinafter, the fastening portion shown in FIG. 4 will be described in detail. In order to make it easier to understand the thermal expansion of each member in the fastening portion, FIG. 5 shows a diagram showing a state in which the fastening portion shown in FIG. 4 is released from fastening.

この図5では、熱膨張による、第1の部材1と第2の部材2の伸びを符号F、第3のシャフトカラー9の伸びを符号D、第1のシャフトカラー4の伸びを符号E、底面部付き第2のシャフトカラー6の伸びを符号Gとしている。そして、上記熱膨張による各部材の伸びを考慮した場合、隙間Aは、以下の式(3)で表される。なお、図3に示す実施形態では、以下の式(3)において、符号Dを考慮しない。
隙間A=伸び(B+D)-伸び(E+F+G)-隙間C 式(3)
In FIG. 5, the elongation of the first member 1 and the second member 2 due to thermal expansion is indicated by reference numeral F, the elongation of the third shaft collar 9 is indicated by reference numeral D, and the elongation of the first shaft collar 4 is indicated by reference numeral E. The extension of the second shaft collar 6 with the bottom surface is designated as the reference numeral G. Then, when the elongation of each member due to the thermal expansion is taken into consideration, the gap A is represented by the following equation (3). In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the reference numeral D is not taken into consideration in the following equation (3).
Gap A = Elongation (B + D) -Elongation (E + F + G) -Gap C formula (3)

ここで、円筒状ピエゾ素子5のCTEは低い値となるため、上記計算に含んでおらず、伸びBは、電圧印加による伸びのみとする。上述したように、第1のシャフトカラー4と底面部付き第2のシャフトカラー6のCTEが、円筒状ピエゾ素子5のCTEと近い値(低い値)であれば、隙間Aは、以下の式(4)で表される。
隙間A=伸び(B+D)-伸びF-隙間C 式(4)
Here, since the CTE of the cylindrical piezo element 5 is a low value, it is not included in the above calculation, and the elongation B is only the elongation due to the application of voltage. As described above, if the CTE of the first shaft collar 4 and the second shaft collar 6 with the bottom surface is close to (low value) the CTE of the cylindrical piezo element 5, the gap A is as follows. It is represented by (4).
Gap A = Elongation (B + D) -Elongation F-Gap C (4)

ここで、第3のシャフトカラー9は、第1の部材1や第2の部材2との間に隙間を挟んで配置されることから、これらの部材の温度が上昇した場合であっても温度が伝わらずに、第3のシャフトカラー9の伸びDが極端に小さくなる可能性がある。このような場合には、加熱用ヒータ10で第3のシャフトカラー9を個別に加熱することで、伸びDの調節が可能となる。 Here, since the third shaft collar 9 is arranged with a gap between the first member 1 and the second member 2, the temperature of the third shaft collar 9 is increased even when the temperature of these members rises. However, there is a possibility that the elongation D of the third shaft collar 9 becomes extremely small. In such a case, the elongation D can be adjusted by individually heating the third shaft collar 9 with the heating heater 10.

なお、第1の部材1および第2の部材2と、第3のシャフトカラー9とのCTEが近い値であり、かつ第1および第2の部材の厚み寸法が、第3のシャフトカラー9の軸方向寸法と等しい場合、以下のことが言える。すなわち、第3のシャフトカラー9の温度を第1および第2の部材の平均温度と等しくすれば、伸びAは式(1)で表される。また、これらの寸法が等しくない場合でも、第3のシャフトカラー9の加熱温度を適宜調整することで、隙間Aは式(1)で表される。 The CTEs of the first member 1 and the second member 2 and the third shaft collar 9 are close to each other, and the thickness dimension of the first and second members is that of the third shaft collar 9. If it is equal to the axial dimension, the following can be said. That is, if the temperature of the third shaft collar 9 is made equal to the average temperature of the first and second members, the elongation A is represented by the formula (1). Further, even when these dimensions are not equal, the gap A is represented by the equation (1) by appropriately adjusting the heating temperature of the third shaft collar 9.

このように、円筒状ピエゾ素子に印加する電圧、および必要に応じて、第3のシャフトカラー9の加熱温度を適宜調整することで、締結部の締結力を所望の値に制御することができる。 In this way, by appropriately adjusting the voltage applied to the cylindrical piezo element and, if necessary, the heating temperature of the third shaft collar 9, the fastening force of the fastening portion can be controlled to a desired value. ..

以上述べた通り、本装置により、締結力を自在に調整することが可能となり、温度変化時に発生するスティックスリップ現象に起因する音鳴りを抑制することができる。 As described above, the present device makes it possible to freely adjust the fastening force and suppress the noise caused by the stick-slip phenomenon that occurs when the temperature changes.

さらに、膨張時に締付力を可能な範囲で弱く制御することで、滑り方向の拘束を弱くすることができ、温度変化した際の線膨張係数の違いによっておこる各部材の反りを抑制することもできる。 Furthermore, by controlling the tightening force as weakly as possible during expansion, it is possible to weaken the restraint in the sliding direction, and it is also possible to suppress the warpage of each member caused by the difference in the linear expansion coefficient when the temperature changes. can.

本発明は、締結箇所を有する装置全般(例えば、電子機器など)に適用できる。また、本発明は、製品サイズが100~200mm程度の小型装置であっても容易に適用することができる。 The present invention can be applied to all devices having fastening points (for example, electronic devices). Further, the present invention can be easily applied even to a small device having a product size of about 100 to 200 mm.

なお、本発明は上記実施形態に限られたものではなく、趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で適宜変更することが可能である。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the spirit.
