Description

  The present invention relates to a rotating device using a magnet, and relates to a magnet rotating device capable of independently rotating a plurality of passive magnets with a single movable magnet, and a rotating ornament using the same.

  Conventionally, a rotating device using a magnet has a structure in which a passive magnet coupled to a movable magnet is rotated by a magnetic force by rotating the movable magnet by a drive motor. The magnet rotating device having such a configuration is mainly used when the output shaft of the drive motor cannot be directly connected to the rotating object to be rotated. For example, when an intermediate member is interposed between the output shaft of the drive motor and the rotating shaft of the rotating object, the output shaft of the motor is used as the rotating shaft of the rotating object using a power transmission device such as a gear or a pulley. It cannot be directly linked. In this case, if a rotating device using a magnet is used, the rotational force of the drive motor is reduced to the magnetic force even if a non-magnetic intermediate member that does not affect the magnetic force is interposed between the movable magnet and the passive magnet. Can be transmitted to a passive magnet coupled to a movable magnet. Such a rotating device is widely used not only for power transmission devices of mechanical devices but also for agitators and toys used in chemical laboratories.

  However, in the above-described magnet rotating apparatus, one movable magnet is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and rotates, and one passive magnet is coupled to the movable magnet by magnetic force, and the movable magnet rotates. The passive magnet rotates. That is, in order to rotate the passive magnet, the movable magnet must be connected to the motor and rotated. Therefore, when there are a plurality of rotating objects to be rotated, a plurality of movable magnets corresponding to the respective rotating objects are required, and each of the plurality of movable magnets is connected to a drive motor by a gear or a pulley. It must be.

The number of accessories such as shafts, belts, gears or chains used to rotate a plurality of movable magnets increases in proportion to the number of rotating objects. Thus, not only the structure of the apparatus is complicated, assembling efficiency is very poor in the apparatus as a whole, than the noise is increased, failure due to mechanical wear between accessories frequently occur. In addition, since power loss due to rotational friction of the accessory increases, energy efficiency decreases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to independently rotate a plurality of passive magnets coupled to one movable magnet by a magnetic force. An object of the present invention is to provide a magnet rotation device that can perform this. Accordingly, since a plurality of rotating objects can be rotated by one movable magnet, the number of parts required for the mechanical device can be reduced.

  Another object of the present invention is that, even when a plurality of movable magnets are used, each movable magnet is not individually rotated by a motor, but is interposed between the movable magnet and the movable magnet and the passive magnet. An object of the present invention is to provide a magnet rotating device capable of rotating a plurality of passive magnets by relatively moving the separated separating member. Therefore, since the movable magnet is not directly connected to the output shaft of the motor by accessories such as gears and pulleys, power that can transmit independent rotational force to each rotating object using a smaller number of parts. A transmission device can be provided. Furthermore, it is possible to configure a mechanical device having a simpler structure, and to provide a rotating device that is low in manufacturing cost and excellent in energy efficiency.

  Still another object of the present invention is to provide a magnet rotating device that can rotate a passive magnet simultaneously with movement. In the magnet rotation device according to the present invention, the movable magnet does not rotate directly, but moves relative to the separation member interposed between the passive magnet and the movable magnet. In addition, the passive magnet rotates on the separating member at the same time as the movable magnet moves. Therefore, when the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention is used for toys, interior decorations, advertising signs, and the like, various visual effects such as a three-dimensional effect and a dynamic feeling can be expressed.

In order to achieve the above object, a magnet rotation device according to the present invention is arranged along a nonmagnetic material separating member and one outer surface of the separating member and is capable of relative movement with respect to the separating member. An accommodating member, and at least one movable magnet that is accommodated in the accommodating member and arranged so that the north and south poles are arranged along the one outer surface of the separating member, and the separating member and at least one passive magnets arranged on the other outer surface, coupled to said at least one movable magnet by magnetic force, the maximum attraction force acting area the magnetic attraction force of the movable magnet on the passive magnet is maximum but the are arranged so as to be eccentric from the rotation center of the passive magnet, if the separation member is moved relative to the housing member, said on the other surface of the separating member at least one movable magnet Having thus said at least one passive magnet rotates while moving, and driving means for relatively moving the at least one movable magnet to drive at least one of the separating member and the housing member with respect to the separating member .

Another magnet rotating apparatus according to an embodiment, a separation member of a non-magnetic material, one being a disposed along the outer surface housing member Ru can der moved relative to the separating member of the separating member of the present invention When, is housed in the housing member, at least two or more movable the one of the magnetic poles of each of the N poles and S poles are arranged so as to be arranged along one surface of the separating member A magnet and at least one passive magnet disposed on the other outer surface of the separating member, wherein the at least two movable magnets are coupled to the at least two movable magnets by magnetic force and exert on the passive magnets If the maximum attractive force acting region where the magnetic attractive force of the magnet is maximum is arranged so as to be decentered from the rotation center of the passive magnet, and if the accommodating member and the separating member move relative to each other, The other Said at least one passive magnet rotates while moving along said at least two movable magnet on a surface, the said at least two movable magnet to drive at least one of said separating member and said housing member Drive means for moving relative to the separating member .

Rotating apparatus according to still another embodiment of the present invention includes a separation member of a non-magnetic material, Ru der can move relative to the separating member is disposed along one surface of the separating member accommodating and member, is housed in the housing member, and at least one movable magnet that any one of the magnetic poles of N and S poles are arranged so as to be arranged along the one surface of the separating member, disposed on the other surface of the separating member at a position opposed to the movable magnet, and wherein the isolation member of non-magnetic material disposed along the relative movement path of the at least one movable magnet the separating member, wherein At least one passive magnet disposed on one side of the isolation member on the other outer surface of the separation member and coupled to the movable magnet by a magnetic force , the passive magnet being a cylindrical double-sided dipole magnet Yes, Are arranged in such one of the pole faces of the N pole and S pole is attracted to the other surface of the separating member, if the receiving member and the separating member relative movement, wherein the separating member wherein at least one of the passive magnets, the separating member and the separating member the driving of at least one at least one movable magnet of the accommodating member that rotates while moving along the at least one movable magnet on the other outer surface Drive means for relative movement with respect to.

  On the other hand, the movable magnet and the passive magnet used in the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention are preferably permanent magnets, and more preferably neodymium magnets mainly composed of neodymium, iron oxide and boron. Various shapes such as a circular shape, a square shape, and a ring shape can be used as the shapes of the movable magnet and the passive magnet. Further, the separating member is interposed between the movable magnet and the passive magnet, and prevents the movable magnet and the passive magnet from being directly adsorbed. Further, the separating member is made of a material that is not affected by the magnetic force of the movable magnet and the passive magnet. For example, the separating member is preferably made of a nonmagnetic material such as aluminum stain, synthetic resin, or glass.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention, the form in which the passive magnet rotates can be roughly divided into two. That is, when the surface on which the passive magnet moves on the separating member and the rotating surface of the passive magnet are parallel (hereinafter referred to as “horizontal rotation”), the surface on which the passive magnet moves on the separating member and the rotation of the passive magnet And a case where the surface is perpendicular (hereinafter referred to as “rolling rotation”). In the case of horizontal rotation, the shape of the passive magnet is not limited. In other words, when rotating horizontally, the passive magnet may have a square shape. However, in the case of rolling rotation, it is preferable that the external shape of the passive magnet has a cylindrical shape or a disk shape having a circular cross section. On the other hand, when a passive magnet is used inside a separate rotating object that can be rotated, the cross-sectional shape of the passive magnet does not necessarily have to be circular.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention, the movable magnet and the separating member are disposed so as to be able to be displaced with respect to each other by relative movement. That is, the movable magnet is fixed and the separation member is moved, or the separation member is fixed and the movable magnet is moved. Therefore, the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention can further include a driving unit for driving at least one of the separation member and the movable magnet and moving the movable magnet relative to the separation member. Here, a conveyor device, a crank device, a cam device, or the like can be used as the driving means. In addition, either one of the housing member and the separation member can be moved relative to the other by fixing and rotating the drive shaft connected to the drive motor.

  Moreover, when moving a some movable magnet with respect to a separation member, it is preferable to provide an accommodating member. Accordingly, the plurality of movable magnets can be simultaneously moved relative to the separation member by moving the housing member by the driving means. When using the storage member, the storage member is disposed so as to be relatively movable with respect to the separation member. In this way, if the housing member is used, a plurality of movable magnets can be arranged in a certain pattern, and thereby a plurality of passive magnets can be arranged in various patterns on the upper surface of the separating member. Various magnets can be rotated and / or moved.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
First, with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6, an arrangement relationship between each component of the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1a is a cross-sectional view showing the arrangement relationship of each component when the passive magnet rotates horizontally. As shown in FIG. 1 a, the movable magnet 200 is disposed so as to be adjacent to the lower surfaces 122 and 142 of the plate-like separation members 120 and 140. The movable magnet 200 is arranged such that the N pole and the S pole are arranged along the lower surfaces 122 and 142 of the separation members 120 and 140. For example, when a double-sided dipole magnet is used as the movable magnet, the N pole is located on the left side and the S pole is located on the right side, or the S pole is located on the left side and the N pole is located on the right side. If a single-sided dipole magnet is used as the movable magnet, the magnetic pole surface on which the N pole and the S pole are formed is disposed adjacent to the lower surface of the separation member. In other words, the N pole and the S pole of the movable magnet are both arranged adjacent to the lower surface of the separating member.

  Passive magnets 320 and 340 are respectively disposed on the upper surfaces 124 and 144 facing the lower surfaces 122 and 142 of the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140 disposed so that the movable magnet 200 is adjacent thereto. As shown in FIG. 1 a, in the passive magnets 320 and 340, any one magnetic pole surface of the N pole and the S pole is attracted to the upper surfaces 124 and 144 of the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140. Passive magnets 320 and 340 are arranged to interact with movable magnet 200 by magnetic force. Therefore, since the south pole of the passive magnet 320 acts on the N pole of the movable magnet 200 and the repulsive force simultaneously with the south pole of the movable magnet 200, the passive magnet 320 is arranged biased to the north pole of the movable magnet 200. The Similarly, the N pole of the passive magnet 340 acts as an attractive force with the S pole of the movable magnet 200 and simultaneously with the N pole of the movable magnet 200, so that the passive magnet 340 is biased toward the S pole of the movable magnet 200. Be placed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1b, the operation of the magnet rotating apparatus having the magnet arrangement shown in FIG. 1a will be described. When viewed from above the separating member 120, the passive magnet 320 is arranged to be biased to one side of the movable magnet 200. In such an arrangement, if the separating member 120 moves in the A direction, the passive magnet 320 rotates in the C direction (that is, clockwise) at the original position without moving. On the other hand, if the movable magnet 200 moves in the B direction, the passive magnet 320 rotates in the C direction while moving in the B direction according to the movable magnet 200.

  The reason why the passive magnet 320 rotates is that the magnetic attractive force exerted by the movable magnet 200 is not uniformly distributed on the surface where the passive magnet 320 is attracted to the separation member 120. That is, since the passive magnet 320 is biased to one side of the movable magnet 200, a strong magnetic attraction force acts on a part of the passive magnet 320 close to the movable magnet 200, and a part of the passive magnet 320 far from the movable magnet 200. A relatively weak magnetic attractive force acts.

  In other words, the M region (hatched region in FIG. 1 b) where the magnetic attractive force exerted on the passive magnet 320 by the movable magnet 200 is the largest is eccentric from the center of the passive magnet 320. As the movable magnet 200 and the separation member 120 move relative to each other, the passive magnet 320 moves on the separation member 120, and at this time, a frictional force is generated between the passive magnet 320 and the separation member 120. become. The frictional force is proportional to the normal force, and the normal force is proportional to the magnetic attractive force acting between the movable magnet 200 and the passive magnet 320. Therefore, the normal force acting on the M region of the passive magnet 320 is Greater than normal drag acting on the area. Therefore, since the friction force acting on the M region of the passive magnet 320 is larger than the friction force acting on the other region of the passive magnet, a rotational torque is generated in the passive magnet 320. For this reason, when the separation member 120 moves with respect to the movable magnet 200, the passive magnet 320 disposed on the upper surface of the separation member 120 rotates in its original position without moving. On the other hand, if the movable magnet 200 moves relative to the separation member 120, the passive magnet 320 moves according to the movable magnet 200 while rotating.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention, a magnetic attractive force and a repulsive force act simultaneously between the movable magnet and the passive magnet. Therefore, the passive magnet is disposed at a position where the magnetic force acting between the movable magnet and the movable magnet is balanced. In particular, the magnetic attraction force exerted on the passive magnet by the movable magnet acts strongly on one side of the passive magnet. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 b, the magnetic attractive force acting on the M region of the passive magnet 320 is stronger than the magnetic attractive force acting on other regions of the passive magnet 320. The rotational movement of the passive magnet is induced by the arrangement relationship between the passive magnet and the movable magnet. Furthermore, in FIG. 1a, the direction in which the N poles and the S poles of the movable magnets are arranged is parallel to the lower surface of the separation member, but it is not always necessary to arrange them in parallel. That is, if the region where the magnetic attractive force of the movable magnet acting on the passive magnet is maximum is arranged to be decentered from the rotational center of the passive magnet, the arrangement direction of the N and S poles of the movable magnet is You may arrange | position so that it may incline at a predetermined angle with respect to the lower surface of a separation member.

  Further, in the magnet rotation device shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b, the shorter the length of the magnet of the movable magnet, the more the maximum attractive force acting region acting on the passive magnet is formed at a position farther from the rotation center of the passive magnet. Therefore, since the magnitude of the rotational torque generated in the passive magnet increases due to the relative movement between the movable magnet and the separating member, the rotational force of the passive magnet increases.

  On the other hand, a plurality of rotating magnets can be arranged on one movable magnet. As shown in FIG. 1a, by arranging an upper separating member 120 and a lower separating member 140 on the upper and lower sides of one movable magnet, a large number of passive magnets are coupled to one movable magnet. Can be configured. That is, two passive magnets can be disposed on the upper separation member 120 and the lower separation member 140, respectively, and therefore, the four passive magnets can be rotated simultaneously using one movable magnet.

  It is also possible to use a plurality of movable magnets. In this case, it is preferable to use the housing member 400 as a means for fixing and arranging a plurality of movable magnets and simultaneously moving the movable magnets relative to the separating member. In other words, if a plurality of movable magnets are arranged at predetermined intervals in the housing member 400 and the passive magnets are coupled to the respective movable magnets, the plurality of passive magnets can be rotated simultaneously.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1 a, when the movable magnet 200 is embedded in the housing member 400, a part of the housing member is located between the passive magnets 320 and 340 and the movable magnet 200. In this case, if the housing member is made of a magnetic material, the magnetic force of the passive magnets 320 and 340 and the movable magnet 200 is affected. Therefore, when the movable magnet 200 is embedded in the housing member 400, the housing member 400 is preferably manufactured using a nonmagnetic material such as a synthetic resin.

  The separating member of the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention is interposed between the movable magnet and the passive magnet, and prevents the movable magnet and the passive magnet from being directly adsorbed. Further, the separation member must be formed of a material that is not affected by the magnetic force of the movable magnet and the passive magnet. Therefore, the separating member is preferably made of a nonmagnetic material such as aluminum stain, synthetic resin, or glass. 1A and 1B, the separating members 120 and 140 have a plate shape, but the shape is not limited as long as a moving surface on which the passive magnets 320 and 340 can move is formed. Further, when the rotating objects 520 and 540 are attached to the respective passive magnets 320 and 340, the rotating objects 520 and 540 rotate while moving according to the passive magnets 320 and 340. Therefore, the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention can be applied as a rotating ornament with a lively feeling and an excellent visual effect.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the positional relationship among the movable magnet, the separating member, and the housing member is the same as in FIGS. 1a and 1b. However, the passive magnets 320 and 340 shown in FIGS. 1a and 1b relate to the case where the rotation surface is parallel to the separating member (that is, the case where the passive magnet rotates horizontally). The case where the surface is orthogonal to the separation member (that is, the passive magnet rolls and rotates) is shown. Thus, when a passive magnet rolls and rotates, as shown in FIG. 2a, it is preferable to use a cylindrical double-sided dipole magnet as the passive magnet.

  Explaining the positional relationship between the passive magnet and the movable magnet, the outer peripheral surfaces of the cylindrical passive magnets 320 and 340 are attracted to the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140, respectively, and the south poles of the passive magnets 320 and 340 are formed. It arrange | positions so that it may go to the north-pole side of the movable magnet 200, and it arrange | positions so that the north-pole of the passive magnets 320 and 340 may go to the south-pole side of the movable magnet 200. In this arrangement, as shown in FIG. 2b, if the separating members 120 and 140 move in the A direction, the passive magnets 320 and 340 rotate in the C1 and C2 directions at their original positions without moving. . On the other hand, when the movable magnet 200 moves in the B direction with respect to the separating members 120 and 140, the passive magnets 320 and 340 rotate in the C1 and C2 directions while moving according to the movable magnet 200, respectively.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, the partial areas (M: hatching areas) of the passive magnets 320 and 340, to which the magnetic attractive force of the movable magnet 200 is strongly applied, are the upper and lower separating members 120 and 140, respectively. It is adsorbed on the top surface of. Therefore, when the separation members 120 and 140 and the movable magnet 200 move relative to each other, the passive magnets 320 and 340 move on the upper surfaces of the separation members 120 and 140 according to the movable magnet 200, and at this time, the separation from the passive magnets 320 and 340 is performed. A frictional force is generated between the members 120 and 140. Such a frictional force causes the passive magnets 320 and 340 to rotate on the upper surfaces of the separation members 120 and 140.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, in the magnet rotating device for rolling rotation, any one of the movable magnet and the passive magnet may be made of a magnetic material that is not a magnet. For example, a movable magnet can be housed in a housing member that can move relative to the separating member, and a rotating body made of a magnetic material can be disposed on the other outer surface of the separating member adjacent to the movable magnet. In this case, it is preferable that the rotating object has a cylindrical shape or a spherical shape. In particular, when the rotating object has a columnar shape, it is preferable that the rotating object is formed in a rod shape whose length is longer than the outer diameter so that the rotating object can be stably rolled and rotated. In such an arrangement, if the housing member moves relative to the separating member, the rotating object rotates while rotating on the separating member according to the movable magnet.

  On the other hand, instead of the movable magnet, a movable member made of a magnetic material can be accommodated in the accommodating member, and the passive magnet can be rolled and rotated. That is, a movable member made of a magnetic material is fixedly disposed in a housing member that can move relative to the separation member, and a passive magnet is disposed on the other outer surface of the separation member on which the movable member is disposed. To do. The passive magnet is disposed so as to be coupled to the movable member by a magnetic force. With such an arrangement, if the housing member and the separation member move relative to each other, the passive magnet rotates and rotates while moving according to the movable member on the other outer surface of the separation member. Here, the passive magnet preferably has a cylindrical shape, and its outer peripheral surface is preferably attracted to the separation member.

  Next, the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b shows a form in which at least two or more movable magnets are coupled to one passive magnet by a magnetic force. The magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIG. 3a has three movable elements arranged such that respective N poles or S poles are alternately arranged along the lower surfaces of the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140 and mutual attractive forces act on each other. Magnets 220, 240, and 260 are included. That is, the movable magnet 220 disposed in the center is disposed such that the N pole faces the upper separation member 120 and the S pole faces the lower separation member 140. The movable magnets 240 and 260 disposed on both sides of the movable magnet 220 are disposed such that the south pole faces the upper separation member 120 and the north pole faces the lower separation member 140. The passive magnets 320, 340, 360, and 380 are disposed on the upper surfaces of the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140, respectively, and are disposed so as to interact with the movable magnets 220, 240, and 260 by magnetic force.

  With such a magnet arrangement, in the passive magnet 320, the N pole acts as an attractive force with the S pole of the movable magnet 240 and acts as a repulsive force with the N pole of the movable magnet 220. Therefore, the passive magnet 320 is arranged biased toward the movable magnet 240 side. Similarly, the N pole of the passive magnet 340 acts as an attractive force with the S pole of the movable magnet 260 and acts as a repulsive force with the N pole of the movable magnet 220. Therefore, the passive magnet 340 is arranged biased toward the movable magnet 260 side. The For the same reason, the passive magnets 360 and 380 arranged on the lower separation member 140 are also arranged biased to the movable magnets 220 and 260, respectively.

  Similar to the magnet arrangement described in FIG. 1b, the region where the magnetic attractive force by the movable magnets 220, 240, 260 exerted on the passive magnets 320, 340 is the strongest (M; hatching region, see FIG. 3b) is the passive magnets 320, 340. Is eccentric from the center. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3b, if the separation member 120 and the movable magnets 220, 240, and 260 move relative to each other, the passive magnets 320 and 340 rotate in the C1 or C2 direction without moving. Rotate in the C1 or C2 direction while moving in the B direction according to the movable magnets 220, 240, and 260. The movement form of the two passive magnets 360 and 380 disposed on the lower separation member 140 is the same as the movement form of the passive magnets 320 and 340.

  On the other hand, in the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, the area of the magnetic pole surface of the movable magnets 240 and 260 is smaller than the area of the magnetic pole surface of the movable magnet 220 arranged in the center. Therefore, the M region of the passive magnets 320 and 340 exerted by the strong magnetic attractive force of the movable magnet is closer to the outer peripheral edge from the center of rotation of the passive magnets 320 and 340. The magnitude of the rotational torque acting on the passive magnets 320 and 340 increases as the distance from the center of rotation to the point of action increases. When the rotational torque of the passive magnet generated by the relative movement of the movable magnet and the separating member increases, the rotational force of the passive magnet increases.

  3A and 3B show the case where three movable magnets are arranged, but two movable magnets may be used as shown in FIG. 4A. When the passive magnet is arranged so as to rotate horizontally with respect to the movable magnet arranged in this way, the polarity of the magnetic pole surface of the passive magnet that is attracted to the separation member varies depending on the polarity of the movable magnet. That is, when two movable magnets are arranged, the passive magnets arranged so as to be biased toward the respective movable magnets are arranged so that the polarities of the magnetic pole surfaces attracted to the separating member are opposite to each other.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b, the passive magnets 320 and 340 use cylindrical double-sided dipole magnets, and their outer peripheral surfaces are attracted to the upper surfaces of the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140, respectively. Can be arranged as follows. That is, the passive magnets 320 and 340 can be arranged to roll and rotate. That is, the north pole of the passive magnet 320 is directed to the south pole of the movable magnet 220, and the south pole of the passive magnet 320 is directed to the north pole of the movable magnet 240. Similarly, the passive magnet 340 is arranged so that the south pole faces the north pole of the movable magnet 220 and the north pole faces the south pole of the movable magnet 240. With such a magnet arrangement, the separation members 120 and 140 and the movable magnets 220 and 240 move relative to each other, so that the passive magnets 320 and 340 rotate. That is, if the separating members 120 and 140 move in the B direction, the passive magnets 320 and 340 roll and rotate in the C1 or C2 direction at their original positions without moving. On the other hand, if the movable magnets 220 and 240 move in the A direction, the passive magnets 320 and 340 roll and rotate in the C1 or C2 direction while moving according to the movable magnets 220 and 240 on the separating members 120 and 140.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 3a and FIG. 4a, the case where the N poles and the S poles of the plurality of movable magnets are alternately arranged so that mutual attractive force acts is shown. However, it is also possible to arrange a plurality of movable magnets so that repulsive force acts on each other. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 a, the N poles of the two movable magnets 220 and 240 are arranged so as to face the upper separating member 120, and the respective S poles are directed to the lower separating member 140. The two movable magnets 220 and 240 are preferably spaced apart from each other with a predetermined interval.

  The passive magnets 320 and 340 are double-sided dipole magnets, and any one magnetic pole face of the N pole and the S pole is disposed on the upper surface of the separating members 120 and 140. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 a, the south pole of the passive magnet 320 is disposed on the upper surface of the upper separation member 120, and the north pole of the passive magnet 340 is disposed on the upper surface of the lower separation member 140. Here, the south pole of the passive magnet 320 acts as an attractive force with the north pole of the movable magnet 220 and the north pole of the movable magnet 240. In this case, the passive magnet 320 is disposed within the interval between the two movable magnets 220 and 240 and is disposed near any one of the movable magnets. Therefore, the attractive force acting between the near-side movable magnet 220 and the passive magnet 320 is larger than the attractive force acting between the far-side movable magnet 240 and the passive magnet 320. Therefore, the magnetic attraction force of the movable magnets 220 and 240 acting on the passive magnet 320 does not act uniformly on the passive magnet 320, and the magnetic attraction force is stronger in some regions (M; hatching region, see FIG. 5b). Comes to work.

  If the separation member 120 and the movable magnets 220 and 240 move relative to each other in the magnet arrangement shown in FIG. 5b, the frictional force acting between the passive magnet 320 and the separation member 120 acts even more in the M region. A rotational torque is generated in the passive magnet 320. Therefore, if the separating member 120 moves in the A direction with respect to the movable magnets 220 and 240, the passive magnet 320 rotates in the C direction at the original position without moving. On the other hand, when the movable magnets 220 and 240 move in the B direction with respect to the separation member 120, the passive magnet 320 rotates in the C direction while moving in the B direction according to the movable magnets 220 and 240.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, by arranging the passive magnet and the movable magnet, the magnetic attractive force of the movable magnet exerted on the passive magnet acts more strongly on a partial region of the passive magnet. The passive magnet is induced to generate a rotational torque. Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 6a and 6b, it is also possible to dispose the passive magnet so that it is eccentric to one side of the movable magnet by disposing a separate means on the upper surface of the separating members 120 and 140. is there.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6a, the N pole and the S pole of the movable magnet 200 are arranged so as to face the upper and lower separation members 120 and 140, respectively, and the upper and lower separation members are opposed to the movable magnet 200. An isolation member 600 is disposed on the upper surfaces of 120 and 140. The separating member 600 is preferably disposed along a path along which the separating members 120 and 140 and the movable magnet 200 move relative to each other. In addition, the isolation member 600 is preferably manufactured from a non-magnetic material, and may be manufactured integrally with the separation members 120 and 140, or may be manufactured from a separate member and attached to the separation members 120 and 140. The passive magnets 320 and 340 are disposed on one side or both sides of the separating member 600, and any one magnetic pole surface is attracted to the upper surface of the separating members 120 and 140, and is coupled to the movable magnet 200 by magnetic force. Be placed. That is, the passive magnets 320 and 340 are arranged to rotate horizontally.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIG. 6 b, the passive magnet 320 is arranged on one side of the movable magnet 200 by the separating member 600. Therefore, the magnetic attractive force exerted on the passive magnet 320 by the movable magnet 200 acts more strongly in the M region. In such a magnet arrangement, since the separating member 120 and the movable magnet 200 move relative to each other, the frictional force acting on the passive magnet 320 is further increased in the M region, so that rotational torque is generated in the passive magnet 320. Become. Therefore, if the separating member 120 moves in the A direction with respect to the movable magnet 200, the passive magnet 320 rotates in the C direction at the original position without moving. On the other hand, when the movable magnet 200 moves in the B direction with respect to the separation member 120, the passive magnet 320 rotates in the C direction while moving in the B direction according to the movable magnet 200.

  Heretofore, various arrangement relationships of the separating member, the movable magnet, and the passive magnet of the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention have been described. With reference to FIGS. 1, 3, 5, and 6, the positional relationship of each component when the passive magnet is arranged to rotate horizontally will be described. In FIGS. 2 and 4, the passive magnet rolls. The arrangement relationship of each component when arranged so as to rotate has been described. In particular, in the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention, the movable magnet and the separating member are arranged so as to be able to be displaced relative to each other by relative movement. That is, the movable magnet is fixed and the separation member moves, or the separation member is fixed and the movable magnet is moved. Therefore, instead of directly rotating the movable magnet to transmit the rotational force to the passive magnet, the rotational movement of the passive magnet is induced by simply moving the movable magnet and the separating member relative to each other.

  Moreover, when moving a some movable magnet with respect to a separation member, it is preferable to utilize an accommodating member. The plurality of movable magnets can be simultaneously moved relative to the separation member by moving the housing member by the driving means. When using the storage member, the storage member is disposed so as to be relatively movable with respect to the separation member. In this way, if the housing member is used, a plurality of movable magnets can be arranged in a certain pattern, and thereby a plurality of passive magnets can be arranged in various patterns on the upper surface of the separating member. A plurality of magnets can be rotated.

  7a to 7c show a magnet rotating device in which a plurality of movable magnets and passive magnets are arranged. Fig. 7a is a top view of a magnet rotating device in which a plurality of passive magnets are arranged, Fig. 7b is a cross-sectional view taken along the II cutting line of Fig. 7a, and Fig. 7c is II-II. It is sectional drawing cut | disconnected along the cutting line. In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 7a to 7c, a plurality of movable magnets 200 are arranged at a predetermined interval in the housing member 400, and each movable magnet 200 is arranged in the same manner as in FIG. 1a. . Each of the plurality of passive magnets 320 and 340 has one of the magnetic pole surfaces of the N pole and the S pole disposed on the upper surface of the separating member 100.

  Here, the passive magnet 320 is coupled to the movable magnet 200 by a magnetic force through the separating member 100. Further, as shown in FIG. 7 b, two passive magnets 320 are coupled to one movable magnet 200, and the passive magnets 320 are arranged so that an attractive force acts between the adjacent passive magnets 320. Also, as shown in FIG. 7c, a passive magnet 340 that is not coupled to the movable magnet 200 can be included. In this case, the passive magnet 340 that is not coupled to the movable magnet is arranged so as to be connected to the passive magnet 320 that is directly coupled to the movable magnet 200, and there is mutual attraction between the passive magnets 320 and 340 that are arranged adjacent to each other. Arranged to work. As described above, when the plurality of passive magnets 320 and 340 are arranged adjacent to each other, it is preferable that the cross sections of the passive magnets 320 and 340 are circular. Accordingly, when the passive magnet 320 directly coupled to the movable magnet 200 rotates, the passive magnet 340 connected thereto rotates together. With such an arrangement, the number of movable magnets required to rotate the plurality of passive magnets can be reduced.

  In addition, the passive magnet that rotates and rotates above the boundary portion where the two passive magnets arranged adjacent to each other among the passive magnets 320 and 340 arranged so that the magnetic pole surface is attracted to the upper surface of the separating member 100 is connected. 360 can be arranged. Further, the rolling and rotating passive magnet 360 has a columnar shape or a disk shape, and is disposed so that the outer peripheral surface thereof is connected to the upper side of the two adjacent passive magnets 320 or 340. These rolling and rotating passive magnets 360 are arranged such that the rotation axis is parallel to the upper surface of the separating member 100. Therefore, if the passive magnets 320 and 340 rotate horizontally, the passive magnet 360 rotates and rotates. With such an arrangement, not only a horizontally rotating passive magnet but also a rolling and rotating passive magnet can be driven simultaneously.

  In particular, FIGS. 7b and 7c show a state in which the rotary shafts 622 and 623 and the pulley 624 are connected to the passive magnets 320, 340, and 360, respectively. FIG. 7B shows a case where the rotating shaft 622 is provided on the horizontally rotating passive magnet 320, and the rotating shaft 622 extends in a direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the separating member 100, and FIG. 7C shows the passive magnet 360 that rotates and rotates. This is a case where the rotation shaft 623 is provided and the rotation shaft 623 extends in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the separation member 100. Here, if the accommodating member 400 in which the movable magnet 200 is arranged is fixed and the separating member 100 is moved in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 7a using a conveyor device or the like, a plurality of passive magnets 320, 340, 360 are obtained. Without moving, it rotates horizontally or rolls at its original position. Furthermore, a pulley 624 coupled to one end of each of the rotation shafts 622 and 623 is connected to a mechanical device (not shown) that is to transmit a rotational force via a belt (not shown) or the like. Therefore, the rotational force of each of the passive magnets 320 and 360 is transmitted to the rotating members of the mechanical device via the rotating shafts 622 and 623, the pulley 624, and the belt.

  Since the rotating shafts 622 and 623 are coupled to the plurality of passive magnets 320, 340, and 360, the magnet rotating device shown in FIGS. 7a to 7c is applied to a power transmission device in a mechanical device that requires a plurality of rotating shafts. Can be done. In addition, since the magnet rotating device provides two rotating shafts 622 and 623 that are orthogonal to each other, the rotational force is transmitted to each component of the variously arranged mechanical devices by appropriately using them. Can do.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 8 to 11, additional components of the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention will be described.

  First, FIG. 8 shows various means for reinforcing the rotational force of the passive magnet that rotates horizontally. When any one magnetic pole surface of the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380 is attracted to the separation members 120, 140, the magnetic poles of the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380 attracted to the separation members 120, 140 are arranged. A friction member 640 is attached to the surface. The friction member 640 is preferably made of a material having a large coefficient of friction with the separation members 120 and 140. Thus, the rotational force of the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380 can be improved by increasing the friction coefficients of the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380 and the separating members 120, 140. The friction member 640 is formed by attaching a friction plate made of a separate member to one surface of the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380, or using a spray or the like on one surface of the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380. Thus, it is possible to form a coating layer having a large friction coefficient.

  Moreover, although the magnet arrangement | positioning shown in FIG. 8 utilizes the magnet arrangement | positioning shown in FIG. 1a, in this case, the several passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380 can be arrange | positioned to one movable magnet 200. FIG. . If the two passive magnets 320, 340 or 360, 380 are connected to each other, the passive magnets 320, 340, 360, 380 preferably have a columnar shape or a disk shape. In this case, a friction ring 642 may be inserted into the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical passive magnets 320, 340, 360, and 380. Thereby, since the frictional force between the adjacent passive magnets 320 and 340, 360 and 380 becomes large, the rotational force of each passive magnet is reinforced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a vertical friction plate 646 interposed between adjacent passive magnets 320 and 340, 360 and 380 can be disposed on the upper surface of the separation member. Thereby, the rotational force of the rotating passive magnets 320, 340, 360, and 380 can be reinforced. The vertical friction plate 646 may be integrally formed by extending from the separation members 120 and 140, or may be attached to the separation members 120 and 140 after being manufactured from a separate member. The vertical friction plate 646 is preferably extended along a path along which the movable magnet 200 moves relative to the separating members 120 and 140.

  On the other hand, FIG. 9 shows a means for reinforcing the rotational force of the passive magnet 300 that rolls and rotates. As shown in FIG. 9, a bar 652 is installed on the rotation center of the passive magnet 300 that rolls and rotates, and a circular friction plate 654 is provided at one end of the bar 652. The circular friction plate 654 rolls and rotates on the upper surfaces of the separating members 120 and 140 in accordance with the passive magnet 300. The circular friction plate 654 forms a friction surface 656 on the outer peripheral edge of the circular friction plate 654, so that the friction with the separating members 120 and 140 occurs. Increase the coefficient. Thereby, the passive magnet 300 can rotate stably without sliding on the separating members 120 and 140. It is also possible to improve the frictional force between the passive magnet 300 and the separation members 120 and 140 by forming a rubber coating layer 658 on the outer peripheral surface of the passive magnet 300.

  The friction member 640, the friction ring 642, the vertical friction plate 646, the circular friction plate 654, and the rubber coating layer 658 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 are means for reinforcing the rotational force of the passive magnet. By these rotational force reinforcing means, the passive magnet can be rotated more stably. When a rotating object such as a decoration is attached to the passive magnet, the passive magnet can slide without rotating stably on the separating member due to the weight of the rotating object. In this case, if the rotational force reinforcing means is added, the passive magnet can be prevented from sliding on the separating member. Therefore, even if the rotating object is a heavy object, the passive magnet can stably rotate.

  FIG. 10 a shows an example in which the curved portion 302 is formed on the surface where the passive magnet 300 is attracted to the separation member 100. Thus, if the curved part 302 is formed in the passive magnet 300, the area which the passive magnet 300 and the separation member 100 contact will reduce. Therefore, the passive magnet 300 can rotate more smoothly. Even if the curved portion 302 is not formed in the passive magnet 300, the same effect as in FIG. 10a can be obtained if the passive magnet 300 is included in the circular model 500 as shown in FIG. 10b. In this case, if the frictional force between the inner surface of the model 500 and the passive magnet 300 is small, the passive magnet 300 can idle in the model 500. Therefore, in order to rotate the model 500 according to the passive magnet 300, it is preferable to apply a rubber coating agent or the like to the outer surface of the passive magnet 300 to improve the friction coefficient between the passive magnet 300 and the model 500. .

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 10 b, when the passive magnet 300 is disposed in the cavity of the model object 500, the model object 500 can be selected and disposed on the left side or the right side of the movable magnet 200. More specifically, the position of the passive magnet 300 can be freely changed inside the cavity of the model 500. Therefore, when the model 500 is arranged on the N pole side of the movable magnet 200, the position of the S pole of the passive magnet 300 is changed so that an attractive force acts on the N pole of the movable magnet 200. On the other hand, when the model 500 is arranged on the south pole side of the movable magnet 200, the position of the passive magnet 300 is changed so that the north pole of the passive magnet 300 acts on the south pole of the movable magnet 200. Thereby, when using the magnet rotating apparatus which concerns on this invention for a decoration or a toy, a rotating body can be arrange | positioned in various positions according to a user's intention. As for the shape of the model 500, any shape can be adopted as long as it includes a margin space in which the position of the passive magnet 300 can be freely changed.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention, as described above, the passive magnet rotating while moving on the separating member can be largely moved in two forms, that is, horizontal rotation and vertical rotation. In the case of horizontal rotation and rolling rotation, the arrangement relationship between the movable magnet and the passive magnet is as already described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 11 shows passive magnet position conversion means that enables the passive magnet to change position from horizontal rotation to rolling rotation, or to change position from rolling rotation to horizontal rotation. FIG. 11a is a top view showing a state in which the position converting means is arranged in a path along which the passive magnet travels along the top surface of the separating member. FIGS. 11 (a1) to 11 (a5) are respectively the same as FIG. 11a. It is sectional drawing cut | disconnected along the VV cutting line of II.

  As shown in FIG. 11a, on the upper surface of the separating member 100, an inclined protrusion 660 is formed as a position converting means of the passive magnet 300 so that at least one side is inclined. More specifically, a triangular pyramid-shaped protrusion 660 is formed on the upper surface of the separation member 100. The protrusion 660 is disposed at an arbitrary position along a path along which the separation member 100 and the movable magnet 200 move relative to each other.

  First, the passive magnet 300 that rolls and rotates at the position I moves along the upper surface of the separating member 100 and reaches the position II where the protrusion 660 is formed. At this time, the passive magnet 300 is inclined to one side due to the inclined surface 662 formed on the protrusion 660. If the separating member 100 continues to move, the passive magnet 300 is converted into a horizontally rotating arrangement at the position III. If another protrusion 660 is formed, the passive magnet 300 is further tilted to one side at the position IV. If the separating member 100 continues to move, the passive magnet 300 is changed to an arrangement that rolls and rotates at the position of V.

  In this way, by forming the inclined protrusion 660 on the separating member 100, the passive magnet 300 is changed from the position where it rotates to rotate to the position where it rotates horizontally, or from the position where it rotates horizontally to the position where it rotates and rotates. Can do. Therefore, when the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention is applied to a decorative object, a toy, etc., a rotating object that moves dynamically can be expressed. Further, although the inclined protrusion 660 shown in FIG. 11 is shown in a triangular pyramid shape, various modifications can be made to the shape of the protrusion.

  The magnet rotation device according to the present invention can be composed of one movable magnet and one passive magnet, but each movable magnet can be driven by integrally arranging a plurality of movable magnets on the housing member. A plurality of passive magnets coupled to each other can be rotated at the same time. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 12 to 20, various driving means for relatively moving the housing member and the separating member will be described. The drive means described below is merely an example, and those skilled in the art can easily understand that any method can be adopted as long as the drive means can move the receiving member and the separating member relative to each other. can do.

  First, FIGS. 12 to 16 show an example in which the driving means is constituted by a conveyor device. Such a conveyor apparatus can be implemented in various forms using a belt, a chain, or the like.

  12a and 12b show a conveyor device for moving the separating member relative to the receiving member. As shown in FIGS. 12 a and 12 b, the separating member is formed by a conveyor belt 100. Both ends of the conveyor belt are engaged with rollers 712 and 714, and both ends of the rollers 712 and 714 are rotatably coupled to the support base 700 by bearings 716. A pulley 718 is coupled to one end of the rotation shaft of the roller 712. The pulley 718 can be connected to a drive motor (not shown) and rotated by a belt (not shown). Accordingly, the rotational force generated by the drive motor is transmitted to the roller 712 via the pulley 718, and the conveyor belt 100 is driven.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 12 b, an accommodation member 400 in which a plurality of movable magnets 220 are arranged at a predetermined interval is fixed to a support base 700 inside the conveyor belt 100. The outer surface of the housing member 400 is disposed adjacent to the inner surface of the conveyor belt 100. In this case, the accommodating member 400 is preferably arranged at a predetermined interval so that the conveyor belt 100 can move smoothly. Further, similarly to a normal conveyor device, it is preferable to arrange rollers 420 between the conveyor belts 100 in order to prevent the conveyor belt 100 from drooping and to smoothly move. In this case, the movable magnet 240 can be disposed inside the roller 420 and used as a housing member.

  Furthermore, the magnet arrangement described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6 can be applied to the magnet arrangement of the movable magnets 220 and 240 and the passive magnets 320 and 340 as they are. 12A and 12B, the movable magnet 220 and the passive magnet 320 are arranged based on the magnet arrangement when rotating horizontally, and the movable magnet 240 and the passive magnet 340 are arranged based on the magnet arrangement when rotating and rotating. Has been placed.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIGS. 12a and 12b, the accommodating member is fixed, and the separating member is constituted by a conveyor belt that moves relative to the accommodating member. For example, if the conveyor belt 100 moves in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 12b, the plurality of passive magnets 300 rotate at their original positions without moving. If the plurality of movable magnets 220 and 240 are arranged in various patterns in the housing members 400 and 420, the plurality of passive magnets 320 and 340 can be arranged in various patterns. Furthermore, a rotating object of various shapes can be attached to each of the passive magnets 320 and 340, and the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention can be applied to toys, interior decorations, advertising signs, and the like. For example, as shown in FIG. 12 a, a pattern may be formed such that the passive magnets 320 and 340 form the letters “KR”, and various rotating objects 500 may be disposed on the respective passive magnets 320 and 340.

  13a and 13b show a conveyor device for fixing the separating member and moving the receiving member. That is, the housing member is manufactured by the conveyor belt 400 in which the plurality of movable magnets 200 are housed. Both ends of the conveyor belt 400 are engaged with rollers 712 and 714, and a pulley 718 is coupled to one end of a rotation shaft of the roller 712. Pulley 718 is connected to a drive motor by a belt (not shown). The separating member 100 is formed of a case that covers the outer surface of the housing member 400 manufactured by a conveyor belt. The rotational force generated by the drive motor is transmitted to the roller 712 via the pulley 718, whereby the conveyor belt 400 moves relative to the separation member 100. Therefore, the passive magnet 300 disposed on the outer surface of the separating member 100 rotates while moving according to the movable magnet 200.

  14a and 14b show another embodiment in which the receiving member is driven by a conveyor device. As shown in FIG. 14a, the receiving members formed on the conveyor belt 400 using a plurality of rollers 722 can be arranged in various patterns. Here, the separating member 100 is formed of a flat plate that covers the housing member 400 at a position adjacent to the housing member 400. In addition, the housing member 400 is arranged to form a certain pattern below the separation member 100.

  When the accommodating member 400 formed by the conveyor belt is moved in the direction of arrow B by the driving roller 720, the passive magnet 300 disposed on the outer surface of the separating member 100 rotates while moving according to the movable magnet 200. FIG. 14 b shows a state in which the passive magnet 300 disposed on the outer surface of the separating member 100 rotates and moves in a T shape.

  In this way, interior decorations or advertising signs having various shapes can be manufactured using the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15a, it is also possible to manufacture the separating member in a tube shape and insert the accommodating member into a cavity formed therein. A plurality of movable magnets 200 are arranged in the housing member 400, and a plurality of passive magnets 300 are arranged along one outer surface of the tubular separation member 100. Further, as shown in FIG. 15 b, the separating member 100 with the housing member 400 inserted can be arranged in any shape on the locking pins 748 formed on the base substrate 740 at regular intervals. In this case, if the housing member 400 and the separating member 100 are made of a flexible material, they can be variously arranged in a shape desired by the user.

  The housing member 400 is fastened to a driving roller 742 connected to a motor 746 by a belt 744. In this case, saw teeth (not shown) can be formed on one side surface of the housing member 400 fastened to the drive roller 742. At this time, it is preferable that the tubular separating member 100 is opened at a portion connected to the driving roller 742 so that the sawtooth formed on one surface of the housing member 400 is engaged with the sawtooth of the driving roller 742.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15 c, it is preferable to arrange a roller 750 inside the cavity of the separation member 100 so that the housing member 400 can move more smoothly inside the tubular separation member 100. For reference, FIG. 15 c shows a cross section cut along the II cutting line of FIG. 15 a when the roller 750 is disposed inside the separating member 100.

  On the other hand, FIGS. 12 to 15 show the case where a plurality of movable magnets are embedded and arranged inside the housing member. In this case, if the housing member is made of a magnetic material, the rotational motion of the passive magnet is disturbed by the magnetic material present between the passive magnet and the movable magnet. Therefore, when the movable magnet is embedded in the housing member, the housing member is preferably formed of a nonmagnetic material. However, as shown in FIG. 16, when the iron chain conveyor device is used, if the movable magnet 200 is disposed on the upper portion of the housing member 400, the housing member 200 can be used even when it is a magnetic body, for example, an iron plate. is there. That is, a support plate 400 used as a housing member is provided on the chain 760, and after the movable magnet 200 is disposed on the support plate, a separation member (not shown) is disposed adjacent to the upper side of the movable magnet 200. It is also possible.

  The conveyor-type driving means described above is a case where only one of the separation member and the accommodation member is driven, but it is also possible to drive the separation member and the accommodation member at the same time. For example, both the separating member and the accommodating member can be constituted by a conveyor belt, and both can be driven in opposite directions. Further, even when the separating member and the accommodating member are driven in the same direction, the relative displacement can be achieved by controlling the moving speeds differently.

  17a and 17b show an example in which a crank device is used as a driving means of a magnet rotating device according to the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 17a and 17b, the accommodating member 400 in which the plurality of movable magnets 220 and 240 are arranged is located inside the separating member 100 surrounding the outer surface thereof. In the driving means, a driving shaft of a motor (not shown) is formed as a crank shaft 780, and one end of a connecting rod 784 is connected to the crank arm 782 by a pin 786. The other end of the connecting rod 784 is coupled to one end of the housing member 400 with a pin 788. With this configuration, the housing member 400 reciprocates as the motor rotates.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 17 b, the passive magnets 320 and 340 are coupled to the movable magnets 220 and 240 by the magnetic force via the separating member 100. Here, the passive magnet 320 is disposed to rotate horizontally, and the passive magnet 340 is disposed to rotate. In the magnet rotating apparatus having such a configuration, when the housing member 400 reciprocates, the passive magnets 320 and 340 reciprocate according to the movable magnets 220 and 240 and simultaneously rotate.

  As shown in FIGS. 17a and 17b, the accommodation member or the separation member can be relatively moved by a motion conversion device that converts the rotational force of the motor into a reciprocating motion. 17a and 17b show an example in which the housing member reciprocates, but a configuration in which the separation member reciprocates is also possible. In addition to the crank device, a cam device or a device similar to the cam device can be used as the motion conversion device.

  18a and 18b show an example in which the separating member is formed in a hollow spherical shape. As shown in FIG. 18 a, the separation member 100 is formed of a hollow shell plate, and a spherical accommodation member 400 is disposed in a cavity in the separation member 100. A plurality of movable magnets 200 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the housing member 400 so as to be adjacent to the inner surface of the separation member 100. In addition, a plurality of passive magnets 320 and 340 are arranged on the outer surface of the separating member 100 so as to be coupled to the movable magnet 200 by magnetic force at positions facing the respective movable magnets 200.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus shown in FIG. 18 a, a drive motor 820 is attached to the lower part of the support base 800. The housing member 400 is fixed to a drive shaft 822 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 820. Therefore, when the drive motor 820 is driven, the housing member 400 rotates along the inner surface of the separation member 100. Further, the passive magnets 320 and 340 move circumferentially according to the movable magnet 200 while rotating on the outer surface of the separating member 100. Here, the passive magnet 320 is disposed so as to rotate horizontally, and the passive magnet 340 is disposed so as to rotate. FIG. 18b shows a rotating ornament made using the magnet rotating device shown in FIG. 18a. As can be seen from FIG. 18b, various shapes of ornaments 500 can be attached to the respective passive magnets, and patterns desired by the user can be formed and applied to toys, interior ornaments, advertising signs, and the like.

  FIG. 19 shows an example in which the separating member is constituted by a disk-shaped shell plate. The basic configuration of the magnet rotation device shown in FIG. 19 is the same as that of the magnet rotation device shown in FIG. 18a. However, the separating member 100 is formed of a disk-shaped shell plate, and the disk-shaped receiving member 400 is disposed in a cavity formed therein. The housing member 400 is fixed to the drive shaft 822 of the motor 820 mounted on the support base 800, and rotates along the inner surface of the separation member 100 when the motor 820 is driven. In the magnet rotating apparatus having such a configuration, the passive magnet 300 disposed on the outer surface of the separating member 100 moves in a circumferential manner while rotating according to the movable magnet 200 disposed in the housing member 400.

  FIG. 20 shows an example in which the separating member is constituted by a cylindrical shell plate. The basic configuration of the magnet rotation device shown in FIG. 20 is the same as that of the magnet rotation device shown in FIGS. 18a and 19. However, the difference is that the separation member 100 formed of a cylindrical shell plate can be connected to the drive shaft 822, or the housing member 400 disposed inside the separation member 100 can be connected to the drive shaft 822. There is.

  That is, when the separation member 100 is to be rotated, the lower fixing screw 842 fixed to the support base 800 is loosened, and the upper fixing screw 844 is fixed to the drive shaft 822. At this time, the upper fixing screw 848 fixed to the drive shaft 822 is loosened, and the lower fixing screw 846 is fixed to the support base 800, thereby fixing the housing member 400 to the support base 800. On the other hand, when the housing member 400 is to be rotated, the lower fixing screw 846 fixed to the support base 800 is loosened, and the upper fixing screw 848 is fixed to the drive shaft 822. At this time, the separating member 100 is fixed to the support base 800 by loosening the upper fixing screw 844 fixed to the drive shaft 822 and fixing the lower fixing screw 842 to the support base 800. In this manner, the separating member 100 or the housing member 400 can be selectively connected to the drive shaft 822 and rotated.

  When the separating member 100 is connected to the drive shaft 822 and the accommodating member 400 is fixed to the support base 800, the passive magnet 300 disposed on the outer surface of the separating member 100 rotates in its original position without moving. . On the other hand, when the housing member 400 is connected to the drive shaft 822 and the separation member 100 is fixed to the support base 800, the passive magnet 300 moves in a circumferential manner according to the movable magnet 200 while rotating on the outer surface of the separation member 100. Become.

  21a and 21b show an automobile toy that moves on a separating member using a magnet rotating device according to the present invention. The movable magnet 200 and the passive magnet 300 are arranged so that the passive magnet 300 rolls and rotates on the outer surface of the separating member 100, for example, similarly to the magnet arrangement shown in FIG. Here, a pair of two passive magnets 300 constitutes a vehicle wheel. A shaft 900 is connected to the center of rotation of the two passive magnets 300. Shaft 900 is formed by a crankshaft connected to crank arm 920. Further, a doll 922 is arranged on the upper surface of the automobile case 926, and the doll arm 928 is connected to the crank arm 920 by a pin 924.

  In the automobile toy shown in FIGS. 21 a and 21 b, if the housing member 400 moves relative to the separating member 100, the passive magnet 300 rolls on the separating member 100 while moving according to the movable magnet 200 arranged on the housing member 400. It starts to rotate. Accordingly, the automobile toy rolls on the separating member 100 when the passive magnet 300 rolls and rotates. Further, the arms 928 of the doll 922 and the head of the doll 922 move up and down by the crank devices 900 and 920 connected to the passive magnet 300. Furthermore, if the separating member 100 and the housing member 400 are configured by a conveyor device as shown in FIGS. 15a to 15c, a more interesting automobile toy can be manufactured. 21a and 21b show an example in which the crankshaft is attached to the passive magnet that rotates and rotates, but it is also possible to manufacture a mobile toy by attaching the crankshaft to the passive magnet that rotates horizontally.

  The magnet rotation device according to the present invention can independently rotate a plurality of passive magnets coupled to at least one movable magnet by a magnetic force. Therefore, since a plurality of rotating objects can be rotated using one movable magnet, the number of parts required for the mechanical device can be reduced.

  Also, when the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention is configured using a plurality of movable magnets, each movable magnet is not individually rotated by a motor, but is interposed between the movable magnet and the passive magnet. The plurality of passive magnets are rotated by moving relative to the separated member. In other words, since each movable magnet is not directly connected to the motor output shaft by accessories such as gears and pulleys, an independent rotational force can be transmitted to each rotating object using a smaller number of parts. A power transmission device can be provided. Accordingly, when the magnet rotating device according to the present invention is applied to a mechanical device that requires a plurality of rotating shafts, a mechanical device having a simpler structure can be configured, the manufacturing cost of the device is low, and energy efficiency is improved. It can be used as an excellent power transmission device.

  Furthermore, the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention can not only rotate the passive magnet at the original position without moving but also move it simultaneously with the rotation. That is, the movable magnet does not rotate and moves relative to the separating member interposed between the passive magnet and the movable magnet. Moreover, various paths can be configured for the relative movement of the movable magnet and the separating member. For example, various movement paths such as linear motion, circumferential motion, reciprocating motion, and curved motion can be configured. As described above, the passive magnet is not directly connected to the drive shaft of the motor, but rotates in parallel while moving along various paths according to the movable magnet. Therefore, when the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention is used for toys, interior decorations, advertising billboards and the like, various visual effects such as a three-dimensional effect and a dynamic feeling can be expressed. In particular, if the separating member and the housing member are made of a transparent material, the magnet rotating device according to the present invention can be applied as a decoration with a lighting fixture.

  In the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention, various devices can be applied to the driving means for relatively moving the separating member and the movable magnet (or the housing member). For example, the user can directly drive any one of the movable magnet (or the housing member) and the separation member by hand, and a conveyor device, a crank device, and the like can also be used. Therefore, the magnet rotating apparatus according to the present invention can be widely applied not only to power transmission devices for mechanical devices that require a large number of rotating shafts, but also toys, clothing decorations, interior decorations, advertising signs, and the like. it can.
