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:
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.
Abstract:
Force of used spring can be weak, wear amount of power transmission member (gear or the like) can be reduced, and generation of strange noises can inhibited. When the dial cam 50 is rotated and the recess 51 of the outer peripheral surface 52 faces the front end portion 32a of the pin 32 of the connection shaft 31, the connection shaft 31, which is biased by the force of the coil spring 40, is connected to the bevel gear 35, which engages with the bevel gear 14 and is rotated, via the clutch teeth 33 and 36. Thus, the connection shaft 31 is rotated, and the output shaft 20 is rotated together with the connection shaft 31. That is, the power of the motor 10 is transmitted to the output shaft 20. Since the coil spring 40 is used for connecting the connection shaft 31 to the bevel gear 35, the force of the coil spring 40 can be reduced.
Abstract:
An optical scanning actuator (10) includes a fixed member (11) having a light source (13), a movable member (14) having an optical element (15) that deflects light emitted from the light source and caused to vibrate by a driving unit (12) in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the optical element, and a joint unit (16) that connects the fixed member and the movable member, supports the movable member, and is bent in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of light emitted from the light source by vibration of the movable member. The optical scanning actuator (10) scans light emitted from the light source in an vibration direction by vibration of the optical element along with the vibration of the movable member. The joint unit (16) includes pairs of joint members (17, 18) connected via at least one deformation reducing member (19) that reduces bending deformation of the joint members caused by the vibration of the movable member.

Abstract:
Provided is a power seat operation device configured so that movable mechanisms can be selectively operated and so that a movable mechanism which rotates and moves a movable section can be intuitively operated without impairing the intuitive nature of operation of a movable mechanism which linearly moves a movable section. A power seat operation device (100) is configured in such a manner that, when a dial member (128) is rotated and operated, a movable mechanism which is to be operated is selected from among movable mechanisms. When a switch member (130) is rotated and operated, the selected movable mechanism is actuated. Also, the switch member (130) is rotated and operated about a rotation axis (H) extending in the widthwise direction of the seat. This means that the direction of operation of the switch member (130) can be aligned with or nearly aligned with both the direction of the actual movement of a seat back (120) when a recliner mechanism (122) is actuated and the direction of the actual movement of an ottoman (124) when an ottoman mechanism (126) is actuated. Also, in a state in which a seat slide mechanism (108) is selected, the direction of the operation of the switch member (130) is aligned with the front-rear direction of the seat.
Abstract:
The present invention obtains a multi-shaft drive device that can protect a rack and pinion from operative load input to a selector. The multi-shaft drive device is provided with: an input-side bevel gear (52) to which motor power is transmitted; and an output-side bevel gear (34) that transmits the power transmitted from the input-side bevel gear (52) to a movable mechanism. The multi-shaft drive device is further provided with: a selector (10) that connects/disconnects the meshing of the output-side bevel gear (34) and the input-side bevel gear (52); and a rotating shaft (16) that causes the selector (10) to slide via a rack (18) and pinion (17). Furthermore, the angle of rotation of the rotating shaft (16) is regulated by the end of the pinion (17) contacting a vertical wall (1A) of a case (1).
Abstract:
A power transmission member that transmits rotation of an output shaft to a movable mechanism achieves a simpler structure and increased productivity compared to when a conventional flexible cable is employed. Out of plural output portions 30 of a clutch unit 2, power transmission members that transmit rotation of an output shaft 31 to a movable mechanism are configured by a conventional torque cable in a second output portion 30B and a third output portion 30C. However in a first output portion 30A, the power transmission member is configured by a gearbox 3 including a worm 71 that is coaxially and integrally formed with an output shaft 31A.
