Abstract

An electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus mounted to a vehicle to attenuate vibration of the vehicle may include elastic members mounted to an housing, an inner yoke having an upper yoke part and a lower yoke part which are fastened to the elastic members respectively, wherein an inner magnetic substance is disposed between the upper and lower yoke parts, and an outer yoke enclosing the inner yoke and having top and bottom portions dented to form inner and outer support members and a connector spoke and receive coil units therein, wherein the coil units include an upper coil unit and a lower coil unit, the upper coil unit being mounted above the connector spoke and the lower coil unit being mounted under the connector spoke respectively, between the inner and outer support members of the outer yoke, and wherein the coil units are controlled to vibrate the inner yoke when power is applied thereto.

Claims (31)

1. An electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus mounted to a vehicle to attenuate vibration of the vehicle, the electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus comprising:

elastic members mounted to an housing;

an inner yoke having an upper yoke part and a lower yoke part which are fastened to the elastic members respectively, wherein an inner magnetic substance is disposed between the upper and lower yoke parts; and

an outer yoke enclosing the inner yoke and having top and bottom portions dented to form inner and outer support members and a connector spoke and receive coil units therein;

wherein the coil units include an upper coil unit and a lower coil unit, the upper coil unit being mounted above the connector spoke and the lower coil unit being mounted under the connector spoke respectively, between the inner and outer support members of the outer yoke;

wherein the coil units are controlled to vibrate the inner yoke when power is applied thereto; and

wherein a fitting groove is formed on the outer circumference of the outer support member and an outer magnetic substance is mounted in the fitting groove such that the inner magnetic substance, the coil units and the outer magnetic substance are disposed in series in a radial direction of the vibration absorber apparatus.

2. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connector spoke is a solid connector spoke formed between the inner and outer support members.

3. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connector spoke is formed of a plurality of connector spokes formed between the inner and outer support members and holes are formed between the connector spokes.

4. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the coil units include an upper coil housing and a lower coil housing inserted above and under the connector spoke between the inner and outer support members.

5. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein fitting grooves are formed at a joint between the upper and lower coil housings.

6. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein insulation members are mounted to the upper and lower yoke parts and are fastened to the elastic members.

7. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the insulation members are made up of nonmagnetic material.

8. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the connector spoke includes a rib and/or a groove formed at least a surface thereof.

9. An electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus mounted to a vehicle to attenuate vibration of the vehicle, the electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus comprising:

elastic members mounted to an housing;

an inner yoke having an upper yoke part and a lower yoke part which are fastened to the elastic members respectively, wherein an inner magnetic substance is disposed between the upper and lower yoke parts; and

an outer yoke enclosing the inner yoke and having top and bottom portions dented to form inner and outer support members and a connector spoke and receive coil units therein;

wherein the coil units include an upper coil unit and a lower coil unit, the upper coil unit being mounted above the connector spoke and the lower coil unit being mounted under the connector spoke respectively, between the inner and outer support members of the outer yoke;

wherein the coil units are controlled to vibrate the inner yoke when power is applied thereto;

wherein the coil units include an upper coil housing and a lower coil housing inserted above and under the connector spoke between the inner and outer support members; and

wherein the upper coil housing has a plurality of holes formed through a lateral surface thereof.

10. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of holes are formed through the lateral surface thereof in a length ranging above the height of the outer support member.

11. The electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the lower coil housing has a plurality of holes formed through a lateral surface thereof.

12. An electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus mounted to a vehicle to attenuate vibration of the vehicle, the electromotive active vibration absorber apparatus comprising:

elastic members mounted to an housing;

an inner yoke having an upper yoke part and a lower yoke part which are fastened to the elastic members respectively, wherein an inner magnetic substance is disposed between the upper and lower yoke parts; and

an outer yoke enclosing the inner yoke and having top and bottom portions dented to form inner and outer support members and a connector spoke and receive coil units therein,

wherein the coil units include an upper coil unit and a lower coil unit, the upper coil unit being mounted above the connector spoke and the lower coil unit being mounted under the connector spoke respectively, between the inner and outer support members of the outer yoke;

wherein the coil units are controlled to vibrate the inner yoke when power is applied thereto; and

wherein the outer yoke is made up of nonmagnetic material.
