Abstract

A linear rotary mechanism includes: a pair of elongated guide rails in parallel to each other: a linear motor having a tubular primary side slidably disposed on the guide rails and a shaft-shaped secondary side coaxially extending into an internal hole of the tubular primary side, the shaft-shaped secondary side being axially linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side; and a rotary motor fixedly disposed on the guide rails and connected with one end of the shaft-shaped secondary side. Accordingly, the rotary motor is linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side in synchronism with the shaft-shaped secondary side and the guide rails.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A linear rotary mechanism comprising:
a pair of elongated guide rails in parallel to each other;
a linear motor having a tubular primary side slidably disposed on the guide rails and a shaft-shaped secondary side coaxially extending into an internal hole of the tubular primary side, the shaft-shaped secondary side being axially linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side;
a rotary motor fixedly disposed on the guide rails and connected with one end of the shaft-shaped secondary side, the rotary motor being linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side in synchronism with the shaft-shaped secondary side and the guide rails; and
a connection section bridged between the rotary motor and the guide rails;
wherein the connection section has two side blocks respectively disposed on two sides of the rotary motor and fixedly connected with the adjacent guide rails;
wherein the connection section further includes two rotary shafts coaxially oppositely disposed between two sides of the rotary motor and the adjacent side blocks, whereby the rotary motor can be rotated around the rotary shafts between the side blocks so as to change the direction.

2. The linear rotary mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the linear motor further includes an end piece pivotally disposed at the other end of the shaft-shaped secondary side and fixedly bridged between the guide rails.

3. The linear rotary mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the linear motor further includes a connection ring coaxially disposed at the other end of the shaft-shaped secondary side, the linear motor being connected with the rotary motor via the connection ring.

4. The linear rotary mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotary motor further includes a rotor section connected with the other end of the shaft-shaped secondary side, whereby the rotor section and the shaft-shaped secondary side can synchronously rotate.

5. The linear rotary mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotary motor further includes a stator section connected with the other end of the shaft-shaped secondary side, whereby the rotary motor is synchronously linearly reciprocally movable with the shaft-shaped secondary side.
