To optimization of mlod for fineblanking forming of sector gear of recliner, it was analyzed the effect of clearance, V-ring height, V-ring position, blank holding force and counter punch force. In case of 0.003 mm of clearancs, the finest shear plane was obtained, but optimization between die and punch clearance was 0.005 mm. The height of V-ring was 0.7 mm. In case of increasing of hold force, the size of shear plane got better and the decrement of thickness became smaller. Both the size of shear plane and the decrement of thickness increased according to increasing of counter punch force.

In this study, effective forming methods for reducing the roll-over of a sector tooth, which is a main component of an automotive seat recliner, are proposed. Due to the large amount of roll-over, accurate contact between the inner gear of a sector tooth and the outer gear of a pawl tooth cannot be normally achieved; thus sensitivity and safety for the passengers decrease. To overcome the aforementioned drawback, we investigated the effect of flowcontrol forming methods involving local embossing die, coining punch, and VIC (Variable Inverse Clearance) on the roll-over depth by FE-analysis and an experiment. The results of a fine-blanking experiment for verifying the proposed methods showed that VIC type is decidedly superior from the aspects of reduction of roll-over and tool strength of the sector tooth.

In this study, we have developed a 3-dimensional diagnostic ultrasonic sector probe using a convex type ultrasonic probe with 128 active elements. The probe was made to operate at the center frequency of 4.5㎒ with the bandwidth of 66%. The driving part was designed to rotate the axis of the convex probe by means of a step motor equipped with reduction gears and spur gears attached to the motor so that the probe could enable us to acquire a series of 2-dimensional images to construct a 3-dimensional image. Acoustic cover of the probe was made of polymers to have the same radius of rotation as that of the convex probe. The controllability of the rotation angle and the structural stability of the probe were confirmed through experimental 3-dimensional images obtained using the developed 3-dimensional sector probe.

본 연구에서는 128개의 능동소자로 구성된 convex형 초음파 탐촉자를 회전시켜 3차원 입체영상을 구현 할 수 있도록 하는 구동부를 설계 및 제작하여, 3차원 입체 영상 진단용 초음파 섹터 트랜스듀서를 개발하였다. 탐촉자는 중심주파수 4.5Mhz, 대역폭 $66\%$로 제작되었으며, 구동부는 탐촉자의 축을 스텝모터와 평기어를 이용해 회전시킴으로써 3차원 입체영상을 획득할 수 있게 고안하였다. 그리고 피부와 유사한 고분자재료를 사용하여 탐촉자의 회전반경과 동일하게 음향커버를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제작된 초음파 섹터 트랜스듀서는 정밀한 각도 제어 및 구조적 안정성이 확보되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다.
