In a structure in which, when a movable shaft (40) is slidably installed at an output shaft (20) and advances toward an input-side bevel gear (14), an output-side bevel gear (50) of a distal end side of the movable shaft (40) meshes-together with the input-side bevel gear (14), and the movable shaft (40) rotates and rotation of this movable shaft (40) is transmitted to the output shaft (20), the movable shaft (40) and the output-side bevel gear (50) are molded integrally of resin, and the output shaft (20) also is formed of resin, and the movable shaft (40) is slidably exteriorly placed on an outer peripheral side of the output shaft (20).
Abstract:
To provide an optical scanning actuator that is capable of realizing widening of a light scanning angle and is excellent in durability, the optical scanning actuator includes a movable unit that supports an optical element, a plurality of leaf springs having a thin plate shape with one end portion being fixed and another end portion being attached to the movable unit, and an electromagnetic driving unit including a magnet, a yoke laminated on the magnet to form a closed magnetic circuit together with the magnet, and a coil held by the movable unit. The coil is positioned in a gap between the magnet and the yoke such that opening plane of the coil is substantially orthogonal to a laminating direction of the magnet and the yoke. The movable unit is driven by an electromagnetic force applied to the coil.
Abstract:
A fiber reinforced plastic spring is provided, in which broken pieces can be prevented from being scattered when breaking without using any additional member and variation in load when breaking can be reduced. FRP spring 1 has a layered structure 20 having basic unit 20A consisting of positive direction orientating layer 21 and negative direction orientating layer 22. Orientating directions S1 and S2 of the positive direction orientating layer 21 and the negative direction orientating layer 22 mutually adjacent are mutually intersecting. By appropriately setting an absolute value of orientating angles ¸1 and ¸2 of each layer 21 and 22, fibers in the positive direction orientating layer 21 and the negative direction orientating layer 22 can be entangled mutually, and thus, the spring as a whole exhibits pseudo-ductility in a breakage condition. Elastic modulus and strength available for use as a spring can be obtained and breaking at a resin portion between fibers can be prevented in each layer 21 and 22.
Abstract:
Weight reduction and space reduction can be performed by using a mechanical clutch having a simplified structure for driving plural output shafts by one motor. Output gears 21 are disposed so as to be movable toward and counter to plural second input gears 14 to which rotation of the motor 10 is transmitted, and so as to be biased toward the plural second input gears 14. A cam 41, which has plural recesses 42 provided at the periphery thereof, is disposed at the inside of the output gear. The cam 41 is rotated, and a pin 24 of the output gear 21 enters the recess, so that the output gear 21 is moved toward the second input gear 14, and the output gear 21 is engaged with the second input gear 14.
Abstract:
To provide an optical scanning sensor (1) which performs an object detection with high accuracy by suppressing the mutual interference between scanning light and reflection light, the optical scanning sensor (1) comprises a light projecting unit (2, 5) that projects light, an optical scanning actuator (3) that emits the light from the light projecting unit (2, 5) via a reflecting mirror (33) and performs scanning with the light emitted by causing the mirror (33) to swing, and a light receiving unit (4, 6) that receives, via the mirror (33), reflection light by an external object of scanning light emitted by the optical scanning actuator (3). The mirror (33) includes a first surface (33a) that reflects the light projected by the light projecting unit (2, 5) and emits the light reflected outward as the scanning light, and a second surface (33b) that is parallel to and discontinuous in a reflection area with the first surface (33a) and reflects and emits the reflection light to the light receiving unit (4, 6).
Abstract:
A fiber reinforced plastic spring which enables prevention of breakage caused by compressive stress is provided. The FRP spring 1 has a laminated structure (reference numeral 20 in case of three-layer structure, reference numeral 30 in case of five-layer structure) having plural fibers which are different from each other in tensile modulus of elasticity and are laminated. An upper surface of the FRP spring 1 is a surface to which pulsating bending load is applied. An upper side region of each laminated structure 20 and 30, which is upper with respect to the neutral axis S, is a compressive stress region at which compressive stress is generated. A lower side region of each laminated structure 20 and 30, which is lower with respect to the neutral axis S, is a tensile stress region at which tensile stress is generated. Distribution of tensile modulus of elasticity of each laminated structure 20 and 30 is asymmetric with respect to the neutral axis S. In this case, it is desirable that a tensile modulus of elasticity of each layer 23 and 35 which is the surface layer portion of compressive stress generation region be the lowest, and a tensile modulus of elasticity of each layer 21 and 31 which is the surface layer portion of tensile stress generation region be lower than that of each layer 22 and 33 which is the neutral axis portion.

Abstract:
A multi-shaft drive device is provided that is capable of obtaining an appropriate backlash in an enmeshed state of an output side bevel gear and an input side bevel gear. An output side bevel gear (35) that is biased in the direction of an input side bevel gear by a coil spring contacts a shaft support bush attached to a wall portion (17) in an enmeshed state with the input side bevel gear. A bias direction stroke end of the output side bevel gear (35) is accordingly restricted. Moreover, the wall portion (17) is provided to a gear holder (15) fixed to a device case (10) that supports the input side bevel gear, thereby enabling the axial direction position of the output side bevel gear (35) to always be positioned at a uniform position to enmesh appropriately with the input side bevel gear.
