Abstract

The present disclosure provides a shift by wire (SBW) driving actuator capable of improving control performance and durability through control of a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor by an inductive sensor, and improving gear transmission efficiency by introducing a multistage teeth-shaped transmission unit configured to connect a sun gear and an output shaft of a reducer to transmit a rotational force to reduce a load resulting from eccentric rotation of the sun gear.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shift by wire (SBW) driving actuator comprising:
a first housing ( 10 );
a stator ( 20 ) including a bobbin ( 21 ) and a coil ( 23 ) wound around the bobbin ( 21 ) and disposed in the first housing ( 10 );
a rotor ( 30 ) including a rotor core ( 31 ) and a rotary shaft ( 35 ) which is connected to the rotor core ( 31 ) and provided with an eccentric portion ( 35 a ) at one end thereof, and disposed in the stator ( 20 );
an inductive sensor ( 40 ) including metal targets ( 41 ) connected to the other end of the rotary shaft ( 35 ), and a sensor plate ( 43 ) disposed in the first housing ( 10 ) disposed at positions facing the metal targets (conductive couplers) ( 41 );
a reducer ( 50 ) including a sun gear ( 51 ) connected to the eccentric portion ( 35 a ) of the rotary shaft ( 35 ) to rotate eccentrically, a ring gear ( 53 ) inscribed with the sun gear ( 51 ), an output shaft ( 55 ), and a multistage teeth-shaped transmission unit ( 57 ) formed at the output shaft ( 55 ) and the sun gear ( 51 ) to transmit a rotational force to the output shaft ( 55 ); and
a second housing ( 60 ) in which the reducer ( 50 ) is disposed,
wherein the transmission unit ( 57 ) includes an external teeth ( 57 a ) inwardly forming a step on the basis of an outer teeth ( 51 a ) of the sun gear ( 51 ), a flange part ( 55 a ) connected to the output shaft ( 55 ), and an internal teeth ( 57 b ) formed in the flange part ( 55 a ) to be inscribed with the external teeth ( 57 a ).

2. The SBW driving actuator of claim 1 , wherein an inner side portion of the flange part ( 55 a ) of the output shaft ( 55 ) is further provided with a contact surface portion ( 57 c ) configured to come into contact with an upper face of the sun gear ( 51 ).

3. The SBW driving actuator of claim 1 , wherein the metal targets ( 41 ) of the inductive sensor includes a single metal plate or a plurality of the metal plates.

4. A shift by wire (SBW) driving actuator comprising:
a first housing ( 10 );
a stator ( 20 ) including a bobbin ( 21 ) and a coil ( 23 ) wound around the bobbin ( 21 ) and disposed in the first housing ( 10 );
a rotor ( 30 ) including a rotor core ( 31 ) and a rotary shaft ( 35 ) which is connected to the rotor core ( 31 ) and provided with an eccentric portion ( 35 a ) at one end thereof, and disposed in the stator ( 20 );
an inductive sensor ( 40 ) including metal targets ( 41 ) connected to the other end of the rotary shaft ( 35 ), and a sensor plate ( 43 ) disposed in the first housing ( 10 ) disposed at positions facing the metal targets ( 41 );
a reducer ( 50 ) including a sun gear ( 51 ) connected to the eccentric portion ( 35 a ) of the rotary shaft ( 35 ) to rotate eccentrically, a ring gear ( 53 ) inscribed with the sun gear ( 51 ), an output shaft ( 55 ), and a multistage teeth-shaped transmission unit ( 57 ) formed at the output shaft ( 55 ) and the sun gear ( 51 ) to transmit a rotational force to the output shaft ( 55 ); and
a second housing ( 60 ) in which the reducer ( 50 ) is disposed,
wherein the metal targets ( 41 ) of the inductive sensor includes a single metal plate or a plurality of the metal plates, and
wherein the metal targets are conductive couplers.

5. A shift by wire (SBW) driving actuator comprising:
a first housing ( 10 );
a stator ( 20 ) including a bobbin ( 21 ) and a coil ( 23 ) wound around the bobbin ( 21 ) and disposed in the first housing ( 10 );
a rotor ( 30 ) including a rotor core ( 31 ) and a rotary shaft ( 35 ) which is connected to the rotor core ( 31 ) and provided with an eccentric portion ( 35 a ) at one end thereof, and disposed in the stator ( 20 );
an inductive sensor ( 40 ) including metal targets ( 41 ) connected to the other end of the rotary shaft ( 35 ), and a sensor plate ( 43 ) disposed in the first housing ( 10 ) disposed at positions facing the metal targets ( 41 );
a reducer ( 50 ) including a sun gear ( 51 ) connected to the eccentric portion ( 35 a ) of the rotary shaft ( 35 ) to rotate eccentrically, a ring gear ( 53 ), and an output shaft ( 55 ); and
a second housing ( 60 ) in which the reducer ( 50 ) is disposed,
wherein the sun gear ( 51 ) includes a first part and a second part protruding from the first part to the output shaft ( 55 ),
wherein a diameter of the first part is greater than a diameter of the second part,
wherein an outer teeth ( 51 a ) are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the first part,
wherein an external teeth ( 57 a ) are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the second part,
wherein a through hole is formed in a center of the sun gear ( 51 ),
wherein the through hole penetrates both the first part and the second part,
wherein the ring gear ( 53 ) inscribes with the outer teeth ( 51 a ) of the sun gear ( 51 ),
wherein a flange part ( 55 a ) connected to the output shaft ( 55 ) includes an internal teeth ( 57 b ) to be inscribed with the external teeth ( 57 a ) of the sun gear ( 51 ).
