Resonant-type rotating piezoelectric motor with inchworm–inertia composite impact

Abstract

A resonant-type rotating piezoelectric motor with inchworm–inertia composite impact was designed and manufactured. It mainly comprises a stator, rotor, support shaft, and frame. The motor stator includes a clamp, driver, central connecting block, preload structure, and other auxiliary mechanisms. The clamp and driver of the motor work in a resonant state. The motor structure was optimized by using the finite element software COMSOL 5.2. Through the finite element simulation analysis, the first-order bending vibration of the clamp and the driver was selected as the working mode, and the consistency of the resonance frequency coupling was optimized and adjusted. By coordinating the bending vibration of the clamp and driver in the vertical staggered direction, the clamping foot drives the rotor to realize the unidirectional continuous rotation. The motor prototype was designed and processed, while the experimental device platform was established to verify the working principle of the motor, and the comprehensive performance of the motor was analyzed and tested. When the input driving voltage was 240 VP–P, the driving frequency was 161 Hz, and the preload torque of the motor was 6.9 N mm, the maximum no-load speed of the motor reached 3.23 rad/s and the maximum load torque reached 10.35 N mm. Under the same conditions, the maximum resolution of the motor rotation angle was 0.69°.

“…A lot of piezoelectric stack motors with different working principles have been investigated [8][9][10][11]. He et al [12] proposed a resonant-type rotating piezoelectric motor. It can reach a maximum no-load speed of 3.23 rad s −1 and the maximum load torque reaches 10.35 mN m, and its maximum resolution of rotational angle is 0.69 • .…”
