Abstract:
A spindle unit includes a swing mechanism fixed to a fixed frame, a support member swingably supported by the swing mechanism, a spindle main body and an electromagnetic brake supported by the support member. The spindle main body rotates integrally with a bobbin around which a yarn is wound. The electromagnetic brake applies a resistance to the rotating spindle main body. The swing mechanism includes a fixed attachment member fixed to the fixed frame, a swing shaft supported by the fixed attachment member, a spring, and a sensor. The spring applies a spring force to the support member in a direction opposite to a direction in which the support member swings by the tension of the yarn. The sensor detects the tilt amount of the support member when the support member swings.

The coil storage groove is formed by an inner cylindrical portion, an outer cylindrical portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion of the field core wholly projects to the outside of the core storage groove. The outer peripheral surface of the inner cylindrical portion and the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion include a first transition surface and a second transition surface, respectively, on the bottom portion side. Each of the first transition surface and the second transition surface includes a tilting surface that gradually narrows the groove width of the coil storage groove along with an increase in a distance from the side of the opening of the coil storage groove.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic clutch device includes an armature, a rotor, an electromagnet, and a silencing member. The armature is supported by a driving member so that the armature is movable in the axial direction and rotate integrally with the driving member. The rotor is arranged coaxially with the armature, rotate with respect to the armature and rotate integrally with an output member. The electromagnet presses the armature and the rotor against each other based on an electromagnetic attraction force generated when current is supplied through the electromagnet to be coupled with each other in the torque transmittable manner. The silencing member is provided on an outer circumferential portion of the armature to attenuate noise generated by the vibration of the armature in a state where the silencing member is out of contact with any member other than the armature.

A drive device is provided with a housing 11 and an electromagnetic clutch mechanism 14 accommodated in the housing. The electromagnetic clutch mechanism 14 is provided with an armature 41 rotatably supported in the housing 11, a rotor 42 arranged to face the armature 41 and rotatably supported in the housing 11, and a coil 46. An annular magnet 44 is fixed on the outer circumference surface of the rotor 42. A sensor 15 arranged inside the housing 11 detects a polarity change of the magnet 44 in association with rotation of the rotor 42. The magnet 44 is provided with an annular wall portion 44b extending toward the armature 41 beyond a surface on which the armature 41 is in contact with the rotor 42 with respect to the axial direction. The annular wall portion 44b is spaced radially outward from the armature 41. The annular wall portion 44b prevents abrasion powder produced on actuation of the electromagnetic clutch mechanism 14 from being scattered.
Abstract:
Brushes (20, 21) which come into slidable contact with slip rings (23, 24) having power feeding terminals (51, 53) electrically connected to a power feeding side include extending portions (32, 36) extending in the radial direction of a field core (3). These extending portions (32, 36) are bent in a direction away from a coil bobbin (12). The third bent portions (32c, 36c) located at the ends of the extending portions are electrically connected to the terminal portions (10d) of coil terminals. An outer diameter R1 of a mounting recess portion (3a) which stores a power feeding device (5) of the field core (3) is smaller than an inner diameter R2 of the coil bobbin (12). This makes it possible to position the mounting recess portion (3a) at a distance H from the coil bobbin (12) in the field core (3) in the arrow A direction, thereby reducing the size of the rotating coil type electromagnetic clutch (1) in the arrow A-B direction.

A terminal connection structure of an electromagnetic coupling device includes terminal housing unit, an extraction hole, a flat contact portion, a conductive mount member, and a conductive support member connected to a power source lead line. The terminal housing unit is formed integrally with a resin coil bobbin having an electromagnetic coil therein, and projects from a through hole formed in a yoke having an annular groove in which the resin coil bobbin is press-fitted. The extraction hole is formed in the terminal housing unit to extract one end of a winding of the electrogmagnetic coil. The flat contact portion is formed between a pair of grooves formed on two sides thereof in the terminal housing unit, and one end of the winding extracted from the extraction hole is brought into contact with the flat contact portion. The conductive mount member is press-fitted in one groove of the terminal housing unit to hold a portion of the winding brought into contact with the flat contact portion. The conductive support member is press-fitted in the other groove of the terminal housing unit to hold another portion of the winding brought into contact with the flat contact portion, and abuts against the mount member to hold press-fit states of the both.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic coupling device is configured so that divided armatures disposed opposite to an electromagnetic flux producing member are magnetically attracted in a stepwise manner. When applied to an electromagnetic clutch, the coupling device comprises an output pulley serving as the magnetic flux producing member provided with a yoke in which an excitation coil is incorporated, an input pulley disposed coaxially with the output pulley and adapted to be coupled therewith when the excitation coil is energized, and a plurality of annular armatures adapted to be fastened to the input pulley and having diameters different from each other. The coupling device further comprises armature supporting leaf springs provided on an axial end of the input pulley and elastically supporting the armatures in such a manner that they are disposed concentrically with the input pulley and are spaced in an axial direction with respect to the output pulley through magnetic gaps, and detour magnetic flux adjusting portions formed on an axial end of the output pulley. The dimensions of the adjusting portions and the lengths of the magnetic gaps vary in a stepwise manner with respect to the armatures, respectively, thus providing an excellent progressive coupling between the magnetic flux producing member and the armatures.

The brake element is urged by springs engaging the respective guide elements, toward an operating element which axially moves the brake element. An input element concentrically secured on the hollow tubular shaft and a friction plate concentrically and rotatably disposed thereabout have first and second openings, respectively, which are axially alignable with the guide elements, whereby the guide elements and the springs can be mounted into and removed from the power transmission device, through the aligned first and second openings.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic spring-wound clutch includes a first rotary member formed of a hub having an annular flange and a tubular portion integrally combined with the hub and adapted for direct coupling to a rotary shaft of an apparatus for use with the clutch. The tubular portion of the first rotary member is concentrically and rotatably fitted through a stationary annular field core which accommodates an electromagnetic coil and is arranged in facing relation with the annular flange of the hub. A non-magnetic annular member is rigidly fitted on the hub, and an armature is rotatably fitted on the hub and interposed between the annular flange and the annular member. A coil spring is wound around the annular member and a second rotary member rotatably fitted on the tubular portion of the first rotary member, for gripping engagement therewith. A covering member is disposed over the second rotary member, the coil spring and the armature member and secured to the second rotary member in a manner permitting adjustment of its circumferential position. The covering member has its peripheral wall formed with an opening which is engaged by a radial protuberance formed on the armature member and has a larger circumferential size than that of the radial protuberance.
