  • one side 106a of the insertion pipe 106 is not bent to the radially outer side as described in the above conventional one, but one side 106a merely faces the transfer yoke 105 with a predetermined distance and any processing is not applied, thereby providing simple structure.
  • the plate spring 110 is fitted onto the other side 107c of the plunger 107; an end portion of the other side 107c of the plunger 107 is inserted through the through hole 108a of the plate 108; the release spring 111 is fitted onto the plunger 107 after fixing the plate 108 and the plate spring 110 to the plunger 107 by the fixing support body 109; and the plunger 107 is inserted through the insertion pipe 106 from one side 107b of the plunger 107 until the insertion portion 107a of the plunger 107 is inserted in the insertion pipe 106, whereby the release spring 111 is arranged so as to have a predetermined biasing force between the receiving seat 106b1 that is the other side 106b of the insertion pipe 106 and the plate 108.
  • the plunger 107 is configured in the two-stage diameter of the insertion portion 107a and the other side 107c and the simple shape is achieved.
  • the plunger 107 is not one in which the plunger 7 is configured in the three-stage diameter of the first insertion portion 7b, the second insertion portion 7c having the diameter smaller than the diameter of the first insertion portion 7b, and the other side 7d having the diameter smaller than the diameter of the second insertion portion 7c as described in the above conventional one.
  • magnetization to the permanent magnet 103 is performed either in the state of the assembly body shown in Fig. 10 or the state of the assembly body shown in Fig. 14 ; and the plunger 107 is suctioned and retained to the transfer yoke 105 by the suction force of the permanent magnet 103.
  • the configuration of respective components of the release type electromagnetic device is simplified and the number of components is reduced, whereby much trouble and labor are not required for such an assembly work, simple assembly work can be performed, and assembly work can be performed simply and in a short time.
  • FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing a yoke in a release type electromagnetic device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.
  • Embodiment 1 the description has been made on the case where the yoke closing portion 101d formed at the position of both end surfaces 101c1 of the permanent magnet side yoke bodies 101c of the yoke 101 are provided in the direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the plunger 107, for example, provided linearly.
  • this Embodiment 2 is configured such that a yoke closing portion 101e formed at the position of both end surfaces 101c1 of permanent magnet side yoke bodies 101c of a yoke 101 are provided with concavity and convexity which are engaged with each other.
  • the yoke closing portion 101e of the yoke 101 is configured such that a triangle-shaped convex portion and a triangle-shaped concave portion are engaged with each other, and magnetic characteristics can be more improved than the aforementioned Embodiment 1.
  • FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a release type electromagnetic device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.
  • a yoke closing portion 101e of the yoke 101 is provided with the triangle-shaped convex portion and the triangle-shaped concave portion which are engaged with each other.
  • a yoke closing portion 101f of a yoke 101 is provided with a quadrangle-shaped convex portion and a quadrangle-shaped concave portion which are engaged with each other and the same effect as the aforementioned Embodiment 2 can be exhibited.
  • FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing a yoke in a release type electromagnetic device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.
  • the yoke 101 formed in such a rectangular shape is easy to be deflected and deformed if external force is applied after forming; and accordingly, the yoke closing portion 101d of the yoke 101 is opened and possibility of influence on magnetic characteristics is generated.
  • the yoke closing portion 101e of the yoke 101 in the aforementioned Embodiment 2 is provided with the triangle-shaped convex portion and the triangle-shaped concave portion which are engaged with each other; and the yoke closing portion 101f of the yoke 101 in the aforementioned Embodiment 3 is provided with the quadrangle-shaped convex portion and the quadrangle-shaped concave portion which are engaged with each other. Even if those yoke closing portions 101e, 101f are opened, concavo-convex engagement is maintained and therefore the influence on the magnetic characteristics can be suppressed.
  • the shape of a yoke closing portion 101g of a yoke 101 is brought into concavo-convex engagement in an intricate shape, thereby providing structure in which the yoke closing portion 101g of the yoke 101 is not deformed and opened.

  • the convex end portion is engaged with the concave base portion; and the convex base portion is engaged with the concave end portions. Since both end surfaces 101c1 are configured in this way, the permanent magnet side yoke bodies 101c of the yoke 101 are bent to be brought into concavo-convex engagement of the yoke closing portion 101g of the yoke 101, whereby the yoke closing portion 101g of the yoke 101 can be prevented from being opened and any influence is not exerted on magnetic characteristics.
  • the yoke is configured by bending the single plate into the rectangular shape to form the yoke closing portion at the position of both end surfaces of the permanent magnet side yoke bodies that come into contact with the permanent magnet.
  • the yoke closing portions of the yoke are not limited to the aforementioned respective embodiments and the shape of other yoke closing portions can be provided.
  • the present invention can freely combine the respective embodiments and appropriately modify and/or omit the respective embodiments, within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
  • the present invention is suitable for achieving a release type electromagnetic device capable of obtaining stable release characteristics.
