    摘要: A haptic engine includes a haptic actuator having a double-wound driving coil in which the two windings are connected with each other either in series or in parallel. By using the double-wound driving coil in which the two windings are connected with each other in series, an instant back EMF voltage induced in either of the two windings can be determined without having to measure in real time a resistance of the corresponding winding, and without having to sense a driving current through the double-wound driving coil. By using the double-wound driving coil in which the two windings are connected with each other in parallel, an instant back EMF voltage induced in either of the two windings can be determined without having to measure in real time a resistance of the corresponding winding.

    摘要: An actuator includes a support body, a movable body, a connection body, and a magnetic drive mechanism having a coil and a magnet for relatively moving the support body and the movable body. A winding part of the coil includes effective side portions, a first curved side portion connecting one side ends of the effective side portions, and a second curved side portion connecting the other side ends of the effective side portions. The magnet faces the effective side portions of the coil. A yoke fixed to the magnet includes a first yoke, a second yoke, a one side connection yoke and the other side connection yoke connecting the first yoke with the second yoke, and the one side connection yoke and the other side connection yoke are provided at positions so as not to overlap with the effective side portions and the magnet.

    摘要: A rotary reciprocating drive actuator capable of increasing the size and amplitude of a movable object such as a mirror, and of stabilizing the drive performance is provided. The rotary reciprocating drive actuator includes a movable part including a rotating shaft, a fixed part supporting the rotating shaft, and a driving part that includes a coil and a core disposed on the fixed part and a magnet disposed on the rotating shaft, and rotates the rotating shaft about the axis thereof with respect to the fixed part by utilizing electromagnetic interaction. The fixed part includes first and second supports disposed so as to face each other with the magnet therebetween in the axial direction. The rotating shaft is rotatably attached to the first and second supports via first and second bearings. One of the first and second bearings is a rolling bearing, and the other is a slide bearing.

    摘要: The present invention provides a vibration motor having a housing with an accommodation space; a stator having an iron core, a coil, and a yoke; and a vibrator. The vibrator includes a magnetic circuit system having a magnet group, and a pole plate arranged at a side of the magnet group away from the stator. The vibration motor further has an elastic support member supporting the vibrator, and an interval between the stator and the magnet group. The yoke is opposite to the magnet group, and includes a groove formed from a surface opposite to the magnet group away from the magnet group. One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a vibration motor which improves stability of the whole system and reduces negative stiffness.

    摘要: The invention relates to the field of passive power generation devices, in particular to a toggle-type magnetic power generation device, which comprising a coil, a magnetic core, a coil bobbin and a coil support. A through groove allowing the magnetic core to penetrate through is formed in the coil bobbin. The coil is wound around the outer surface of a side wall of the through groove and corresponds to the magnetic core. An opening allowing part of the coil bobbin to be embedded therein is formed in the coil support. The opening is formed in the coil support and allows part of the coil bobbin to be embedded therein, so that the number of turns of the coil is increased under the precondition of maintaining the existing size, thus improving the power generation capacity and the stability of the electrical performance of the magnetic power generation device.

    摘要: The invention provides a vibration motor includes a housing, a vibrator in the housing, a stator accommodated in the housing, and a number of elastic parts suspending the vibrator in the housing. One of the vibrator and the stator includes a magnetic circuit system, and the other includes a coil. The elastic part is in an H shape, each has a first fixation part fixedly connected with the magnetic circuit system, and two second fixation parts perpendicularly extending from two opposite ends of the first fixation part. In addition, an interval is formed between the two second fixation parts. The second fixation parts and the first fixation part are fixedly connected with the housing. Therefore, the amount of parts of the vibration motor is reduced, the structure of the elastic part is simple, the machining and forming are simplified, and the cost is lower.

    摘要: A novel method of triggering an electromagnetic type energy harvesting generator that has disposed a spherical magnet, surrounded by a coil of wire and rotatable in an enclosure about an axis with an axially protruding paddle member, axially aligned dual offset paddle members, or other flick trigger mechanism structure situated tangent along the surface of the spherical magnet enclosure, wherein this enclosed magnet is centred within the electrical coil, which is free to rotate about its axis. The magnet is held in a static state rotational position by two opposite outwardly disposed flux focus magnets. The spherical magnet and the focus magnets are all in a magnetic attractive circuit; and the magnetic flux lines are in a static field concentration throughout the coil windings aided by the focus magnets. A reciprocating trigger device means with a contact finger is utilized to engage the axially protruding paddle member(s).
