Abstract

In an active vibration isolation support system in which internal pressures of fluid chambers whose volumes are changed by a load applied from outside are controlled by an actuator that reciprocatingly vibrates a movable core on an axis by energizing a coil cylindrically wound around an outer periphery of a fixed core, an end surface of the coil on the fluid chambers side is inclined so that a radially outer side of the end surface is close to the fluid chambers with respect to the axis. Therefore, the output can be increased by increasing the number of windings of the coil without increasing the dimension of the active vibration isolation support system in the direction of the axis. Also, if the number of windings of the coil is made the same as that of the conventional system, the outer diameter of the coil can be made smaller than that of the conventional system accordingly to reduce the entire length of wire of the coil, thereby reducing the resistance and inductance to improve the electrical current response.

Claims (14)

1. An active vibration isolation support system comprising:

an actuator for reciprocatingly vibrating a movable core on an axis by energizing a coil cylindrically wound around a bobbin which is arranged around an outer periphery of a fixed core; and

a fluid chamber which is arranged on the axis of the actuator, whose volume is changed by a load applied from outside, and whose internal pressure is controlled by being connected to the movable core,

wherein an end surface of the coil on the fluid chamber side is inclined so that a radially outer side of the end surface is close to the fluid chamber with respect to the axis;

wherein step portions extending in a circumferential direction with respect to the axis are formed on an inner surface of the bobbin, each step portion having an arcuate cross section and contacting the inclined end surface of the coil;

wherein the actuator comprises a yoke having a cylindrical portion positioned at an inner periphery of the bobbin and a flange portion positioned to oppose an end face of the coil on the fluid chamber side; and

wherein the bobbin has an upper inner flange which extends obliquely upward toward the fluid chamber, the inner surface being formed on the upper inner flange.

2. An active vibration isolation support system, comprising:

an actuator for reciprocatingly vibrating a movable core on an axis by energizing a coil cylindrically wound around an outer periphery of a fixed core; and

a fluid chamber which is arranged on the axis of the actuator, whose volume is changed by a load applied from outside, and whose internal pressure is controlled by being connected to the movable core,

wherein an end surface of the coil on the fluid chamber side is inclined so that a radially outer side of the end surface is close to the fluid chamber with respect to the axis;

wherein step portions extending in a circumferential direction with respect to the axis are formed on an inner surface of a plate, each step portion having an arcuate cross section and contacting the inclined end surface of the coil;

wherein the actuator comprises a yoke having a cylindrical portion positioned at an inner periphery of the coil and a flange portion positioned to oppose an end face of the coil on the fluid chamber side; and

wherein the plate is positioned on an upper surface of the coil, the plate having an inner portion which extends obliquely upward toward the fluid chamber, the inner surface being formed on the inner portion.
