Description

  The present invention relates to a solenoid, and more particularly to the structure and operating principle of a direct acting solenoid having two coils.

  The basic structure of a direct-acting solenoid is a housing that forms a coil that generates magnetic flux, a movable magnetic pole that operates by generating magnetic flux, a fixed magnetic pole that generates an attractive force with the movable magnetic pole, and a magnetic circuit of the solenoid. It consists of a case.

  General solenoids tend to increase the number of coil wire turns of a coil that is the basis of magnetic flux generation to ensure thrust and the stroke that is the operating range of the movable magnetic pole, and take the dimension and shape of the magnetic pole longer in the axial direction It is in. For this reason, the fixed magnetic pole around the coil and the case constituting the magnetic circuit are also elongated in the axial direction.

  However, there is a strong demand in recent years to reduce the size of solenoids. Even in this case, although the dimension in the axial direction is limited, the suction force and the stroke cannot be sacrificed. For this reason, there was a limit to miniaturization. (For example, patent document 1).

Patent Document 1 is an application example of a general solenoid, in which a movable magnetic pole that operates and a fixed magnetic pole that attracts the movable magnetic pole extend in the axial direction, a coil is disposed therebetween, and a case is formed so as to cover the coil. Although this solenoid is a small category, it is necessary to secure suction force and stroke as long as it has the purpose of making holes in telephone cards, prepaid cards, etc., and more in the axial direction due to the peripheral devices of the solenoid. Dimensional restrictions are becoming stricter.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a solenoid according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, the reference numerals indicate the same as those in FIGS.

  FIG. 5 has the same basic structure as FIG. 1, but has a structure in which the magnetic pole part 13 a of the second fixed magnetic pole 13 is shifted to the lower side in the axial direction of the movable magnetic pole 11 with respect to the magnetic pole part 12 a of the first fixed magnetic pole 12. . In addition, the magnetic pole portion 12a of the first fixed magnetic pole 12 has a shape that partially extends in the axial direction on the upper surface side. This is designed so that the thrust of the solenoid 10 is generated over a long stroke.

  FIG. 6 shows a state before the movable magnetic pole 11 moves with respect to FIG. When currents in opposite directions are passed through the first coil 20 and the second coil 21, the first magnetic circuit 32 is formed between the movable magnetic pole 11 and the first fixed magnetic pole 12. Since the second magnetic circuit 33 is also formed in between, the movable magnetic pole 11 moves toward the lower surface side.

  FIG. 7 shows a state when the movable magnetic pole 11 approaches the magnetic pole part 12 a of the first fixed magnetic pole 12. In this state, the axial thrust generated between the movable magnetic pole 11 and the first fixed magnetic pole 12 is reduced, and the axial thrust generated between the movable magnetic pole 11 and the first fixed magnetic pole 13 is increased. Furthermore, the movable magnetic pole 11 moves in the lower surface side direction.

  Finally, as shown in FIG. 5, the movable magnetic pole 11 moves to the lower surface side, and the action plate 11b comes into contact with the plate 22 and stops. A series of these operations will be described based on the thrust diagram shown in FIG.

  The axial thrust generated at the magnetic pole portion 12a of the first fixed magnetic pole 12 is A, and the stroke range for obtaining a constant thrust is A ′. Similarly, the axial thrust generated at the magnetic pole portion 13a of the second fixed magnetic pole 13 is B, and the stroke range for obtaining a constant thrust is B ′. The two thrusts generated at the different positions are combined to form a thrust curve indicated by C, and the range of the throttle talk is A ′ + B ′ = C ′. Therefore, by shifting the magnetic pole portions 12a and 13a of the first fixed magnetic pole 12 and the second fixed magnetic pole 13 in the axial direction, it becomes possible to generate thrust over a long stroke.
