Then, when the sleeve 17 is screwed (advanced while rotating) toward the bottom 12b of the bag hole 12, the female screw 12a and the male screw 17b are engaged, and the sleeve 17 is fastened to the second housing 2b.
- the sleeve 17 is formed in a cylindrical shape by cold forging from medium carbon steel such as S55C or case-hardened steel such as SCM415 or SCM420, and concave grooves 17a and 17a extending in the axial direction are formed at opposing positions on the inner periphery.
- a metal plating such as electroless nickel plating is applied to the surface of the groove 17a.
- the surface of the locking pin 15 that engages with the concave groove 17a is also plated with metal such as hard chrome plating. Thereby, abrasion resistance improves and abrasion can be suppressed over a long period of time.
- examples of the metal plating include zinc plating, unichrome plating, chromate plating, nickel plating, chrome plating, and Kanigen plating.
- the metal plating is preferably made of different materials so that the concave groove 17a and the locking pin 15 can be prevented from sticking to each other during sliding.
- a plurality of concave portions 29 are formed on the end surface of the second housing 2b at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the outer diameter portion of the end surface of the sleeve 17 is plastically deformed toward the concave portions 29.
- the sleeve 17 is prevented from rotating by the crimped portion 30. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the threaded portion of the sleeve 17 from loosening due to vibration during operation, and to improve reliability.
- the female screw 12a of the second housing 2b and the male screw 17b of the sleeve 17 are provided near the bottom of the bag hole 12.
- the caulking portion 30 causes the screw to tighten. Looseness can be prevented, and reliability is improved.
- the screw shaft 10 and the thread grooves 9 and 16 of the nut 18 are formed in different cross-sectional shapes on the left and right.
- the screw groove 9 of the screw shaft 10 includes an arcuate screw groove 9a that forms a normal ball screw and a saw-toothed screw groove 9b that forms a trapezoidal screw.
- the screw groove 16 of the nut 18 includes an arcuate screw groove 16a that faces the screw groove 9a of the screw shaft 10 and a sawtooth screw groove 16b that faces the sawtooth screw groove 9b.
- the thread grooves 9a and 16a forming the ball screw are formed in a circular arc shape having a partial arc of a quarter or two of the circumference.
- the thread grooves 9b and 16b forming the trapezoidal screw are opposed to the arc-shaped thread grooves 9a and 16a in the axial direction, and a cross section composed of a flat surface having an inclination angle with respect to the perpendicular is 0 ° to 20 ° is formed in a trapezoidal shape.
- the input load becomes highly efficient, and also acts as a brake for the external input.
- the screw grooves 9b and 16b are insensitive to the load, and cannot be controlled due to a system error or the like.
- the shaft end (here, the right end surface) of the screw shaft 10 collides with the bottom surface 12b of the bag hole 12 of the second housing 2b. This can be prevented (see FIG. 1). Therefore, it is possible to provide the electric actuator 1 which is improved in reliability by avoiding the collision of the screw shaft 10 and reduced in weight and size by reducing the thickness of the second housing 2b.
- FIG. 6 shows a modification of the nut 18 described above.
- the nut 31 shown in (a) has a spiral thread groove 32 formed on the inner periphery, and the thread groove 32 includes a thread groove 32a having an arcuate cross section forming a normal ball screw, and the thread groove 32a.
- a sawtooth-shaped thread groove 16b that protrudes radially inward from the end and forms a trapezoidal screw is formed.
- the arc-shaped thread groove 32a is formed by a semicircle having a half of the circumference, and the cross-sectional shape is formed in a Gothic arc shape combining two arcs having a radius of curvature slightly larger than the radius of the ball 19. Has been.
- the thread groove 32a may have a circular arc shape formed of a single arc.
- the nut 33 shown in (b) has a spiral thread groove 34 formed on the inner periphery, and the thread groove 34 is formed from a thread groove 16a having a circular arc cross section forming a normal ball screw, and the thread groove 16a. It has a sawtooth-shaped thread groove 34a that protrudes radially inward and forms a trapezoidal screw.
- the serrated thread groove 34a has one tooth surface Ff (left side in the figure) facing the arc-shaped thread groove 16a in the axial direction, and the other tooth surface Bf (right side in the figure) is the arc-shaped thread groove 16a. It is formed in a flat surface extending in the tangential direction and having an inclination angle with respect to the perpendicular of 0 ° to 20 °. As a result, the axial direction of the thread groove 34 can be made compact.
- An electric actuator includes a ball screw mechanism that is used in a drive unit of a general industrial electric motor, an automobile, or the like, and that converts a rotational input from an electric motor into a linear motion of a drive shaft via the ball screw mechanism. Applicable to electric actuators.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une vis sphérique et un actionneur à commande électrique doté de la vis sphérique, qui ont chacun un poids réduit par réduction de l'épaisseur de paroi d'un boîtier et qui ont chacun une fiabilité accrue obtenue en évitant l'impact d'un arbre fileté. Un actionneur à commande électrique 1 est pourvu d'un arbre fileté 10 supporté de manière à ne pas pouvoir tourner par rapport à un boîtier 2 et de manière à être mobile axialement. Des rainures de filetage 9, 16 comprennent des rainures de filetage en forme d'arc de cercle 9a,16a et des rainures de filetage en forme de dents de scie 9b, 16b. Lorsqu'une charge de traction est appliquée à l'arbre fileté 10, les espaces entre les rainures de filetage en forme d'arc de cercle 9a, 16a et des billes 19 disparaissent et des espaces apparaissent entre les rainures de filetage en forme de dents de scie 9b, 16b. En conséquence, les rainures de filetage en forme d'arc de cercle 16a, 9a et les billes 19 viennent en contact oblique les unes avec les autres pour obtenir un état de vis sphérique. Lorsqu'une entrée dans la direction opposée est appliquée, des espaces apparaissent entre les rainures de filetage en forme d'arc de cercle 16a, 9a et les billes 19 et les espaces entre les rainures de filetage en forme de dents de scie 16b, 9b disparaissent. En conséquence, les rainures de filetage en forme de dents de scie 16b, 9b viennent en contact coulissant les unes avec les autres pour obtenir un état de filetage trapézoïdal.
