ROTARY RECIPROCATING DRIVE ACTUATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019684 titled 'ROTARY RECIPROCATING DRIVE ACTUATOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a rotary reciprocating drive actuator that includes a movable body with a shaft part and a fixed magnet, allowing it to perform reciprocating rotation. The actuator also includes a base portion with wall portions for supporting the shaft part, and a core assembly fixed to one wall portion. The core assembly consists of a core body with magnetic poles facing the magnet, a coil body, and a magnet position holding portion that defines a reference position for the reciprocating rotation. Additionally, at least one of the base portion, core body, or core assembly includes a positioning fixation part for positioning and fixing the actuator to a fixation target object parallel to the shaft part.
- The actuator has a movable body with a fixed magnet, allowing it to perform reciprocating rotation.
- The base portion supports the shaft part via a bearing and includes wall portions.
- The core assembly consists of a core body, a coil body, and a magnet position holding portion.
- The core assembly is fixed to one wall portion of the base portion.
- At least one of the base portion, core body, or core assembly includes a positioning fixation part for fixing the actuator to a fixation target object.
Potential Applications:
- Robotics: The rotary reciprocating drive actuator can be used in robotic systems to provide precise and controlled reciprocating motion.
- Automation: This actuator can be applied in automated machinery and equipment that require reciprocating motion for various tasks.
- Automotive: The actuator can be utilized in automotive applications such as engine components or transmission systems that require reciprocating motion.
Problems Solved:
