Definitions
- the present invention is directed generally to linear actuators, and more particularly to compensating magnetic flux generated by the current in the moving coil of voice coil actuators.
- Voice coil actuators are electromagnetic devices which provide force proportional to current applied to a coil.
- United States Patent number 5,677,963, assigned to the assignee of the present application is a example of such voice coil actuators, and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- one or more separate compensating coils are employed to alter the distribution of the magnetic flux density in the air gap to produce a constant force throughout as much stroke as possible.
- Current in the separate compensating coils can be adjusted with the stroke using separate power supplies and a position feedback.
- Fig. 1 is a simplified cross section of a closed ended linear voice coil actuator embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 2 is a simplified cross section of an open-ended linear voice coil actuator embodiment of the present invention.
- Figs. 3 and 4 depict required magneto-motive force in Ampere- turns vs. stroke for a given constant value of the output force of compensating coils positioned in at the ends of the magnets, and around the core, respectively, in accordance with the present invention.
- Figs. 5 and 6 depict Force vs. Stroke characteristics with two different types of compensating coils in accordance with the present invention.
- Fig. 7 is a simplified functional block diagram illustrating the connection of the compensating coils to separate power supplies with the value of the compensating current to the compensating coils being controlled as a function of stroke in accordance with the present invention.
- compensation coils for example 10-A
- compensation coils for example 10-B and 10-C
- Compensating coils 10-A, 10-B and 10-C can be used in closed-ended actuators, as shown in Fig. 1, as well as open-ended actuators, as shown in Fig. 2.
- a core compensating coil 10-A is provided.
- a permanent magnet 18 is positioned with respect to the core 12 so that the longitudinal axis of the permanent magnet 18 is substantially parallel with the axis of the core 12.
- a field blank 22 made from soft magnetic material is used to form a magnetic circuit between the ends of core 12 and around permanent magnet 18.
- a voice coil actuator in accordance with the present invention can have a variety of shapes, including a rectangular configuration and a cylindrical configuration.
- a rectangular embodiment will be described in the following sections, as an example, it being understood that other shapes are contemplated within the spirit of the present invention.
- brackets or other linkages can be used to connect the moving coil to the load of the actuator. These brackets or other linkages can extend through longitudinal slots formed in the field blank 22 of the actuator.
- permanent magnet 18 has a rectangular shape.
- the field blank 22 has a rectangular shape and closed ends.
- Permanent magnet 18 is positioned on the inside surface of the field blank and has a length which is selected so that cavities 14 and 16 are defined between the inside surfaces 20 of the ends of the field blank 22 and the permanent magnet 18.
- the inner dimension of permanent magnet 18 and the outer dimension of core 12 are selected so that a gap is formed between them.
- the moving coil 24 is constructed to be positionable in and to be moveable along this gap. Although not shown, those of ordinary skill will recognize that the moving coil 24 can be controlled through connections which extend to the exterior of field blank 22, in a conventional manner.
- compensating coils 10-B or 10-C can be positioned in one or both of the cavities 14 or 16, respectively, which have been formed between the permanent magnet 18 and the inside surfaces 20 of the field blank 22.
- a core compensating coil 10-A can be employed which is wound around the core.
- the core compensating coil 10-A can be constructed to extend substantially the entire length of the core 12.
- the structure provided in Fig. 1 permits the altering of the distribution of the flux density in the gap. In turn, this permits the control of the flux density as a function of the stoke.
- MMF magneto-motive force
- Fig. 2 The open-ended embodiment of Fig. 2 is similar to that of Fig. 1, except that one end of the field blank is open.
- Stationary compensating coils 10-A, 10-B and 10-C can be connected in series with the moving coil 24 in such a way that their magnetic fluxes work against magnetic flux created by current in the moving coil 24, thereby reducing armature reaction and resultant inductance, and leading to a faster response of the actuator.
- a new Force vs. Stroke curve would generally reflect the increased output force throughout the stroke.
- the compensating coils should be connected to a separate power supply 26, as shown in Fig. 7.
- a position feedback device 28 will be used for effective control of the compensating current value as a function of stroke. Examples of such compensating current are provided in the curves depicting magneto-motive force in Ampere- turns vs. stroke for a given constant value of the output force of Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.
- Fig. 3 shows the compensating coil MMF in ampere-turns, as a function of the stroke at a constant force of 688 LB/M, for compensating coils 10-B and 10-C.
- the MMF for compensating coil 10-C can be controlled to be 1000 ampere-turns so that the actuator provides a force of 688 LB/M at that point of the stroke.
- the MMF to be provided in the compensating coils 10-C and 10-B can be identified from Fig. 3 in a similar manner for other moving coil positions.
- Fig. 4 shows the core compensating coil MMF in ampere-turns, as a function of the stroke at a constant force of 684 LB/M, for core compensating coil 10-A.
- the MMF for core compensating coil 10-A can be controlled to be 1500 ampere-turns so that the actuator provides a force of 684 LB/M at that point of the stroke.
- the MMF to be provided in the core compensating coil 10-A can be identified from Fig. 4 in a similar manner for other moving coil positions.
- Fig. 5 illustrates the force vs. stroke characteristics using compensating coils such as 10-B and 10-C
- Fig. 6 illustrates the force vs. stroke characteristics using core compensating coils, such as 10-A.
- the curve plotting the points indicated by the diamond symbols represents the condition where the applied MMF (I cc N C c) equals 0 ampere-turns (A-T).
- the other curves represent provided MMFs as follows:
- both types of the compensating coils 10-A and 10-B, 10-C can conceivably be utilized.
- the compensating coil arrangement has been described as applied to linear voice coil actuators as an example only. The same approach can be used on rotary voice coil actuators.
