Abstract

A yoke of an actuator of an active vibration isolation support system, which controls an internal pressure of a liquid chamber by reciprocally oscillating a movable core by energizing a coil, includes a cylindrical portion and a flange portion. The cylindrical portion is disposed on an outer side of the yoke in a radial direction and faces an inner peripheral surface of the coil, while the flange portion faces an end surface of the coil. The yoke further includes an inner inclined surface formed in an inner side of an intersection of the cylindrical portion and the flange portion, and inclined in such a manner that an outer side thereof in the radial direction with respect to an axis of an actuator inclines upward. Accordingly, the vector of a magnetic flux generated through the energization of the coil can be oriented toward the movable core from the flange portion of the yoke via the inner inclined surface thereof. The magnetic flux is thus allowed to flow smoothly from the yoke to the movable core, so that the efficiency of the magnetic circuit is enhanced. As a result, the operational response of the actuator can be improved.

Claims (11)

1. An active vibration isolation support system comprising:

an actuator for reciprocally oscillating a movable core on an axis of the actuator by energizing a coil wound in a cylindrical shape;

a liquid chamber being disposed on the axis of the actuator, having a volume which varies depending on a load inputted thereto from an outside, and being connected to the movable core, so that an internal pressure of the liquid chamber is controlled; and

a bobbin around which the coil is wound,

wherein the actuator comprises a yoke, the yoke including:

a cylindrical portion facing an inner peripheral surface of the coil;

a flange portion facing an end surface, on the liquid chamber side, of the coil; and

an inner inclined surface formed in an inner side of the yoke at an intersection of the cylindrical portion and the flange portion, the inner inclined surface being inclined in such a manner that an outer side thereof in a radial direction with respect to the axis comes closer to the liquid chamber than an inner side thereof in a radial direction with respect to the axis,

wherein the end surface, only on the liquid chamber side of the coil, is inclined, and

wherein a step portion extending in a circumferential direction with respect to the axis is formed on an inner surface of the bobbin, the inner surface being in contact with the inclined end surface of the coil.

2. The active vibration isolation support system according to claim 1 wherein an outer inclined surface is formed in an outer side of the intersection of the cylindrical portion and the flange portion, the outer inclined surface being inclined in such a manner that an outer side thereof in the radial direction with respect to the axis comes close to the liquid chamber.
