Abstract

An active antivibration device which includes a main body, a mobile element which is elastically supported inside the main body and movable in an axial direction of the main body, and a coil which is disposed inside the main body and fixed to the main body. The mobile element includes a mobile axis body supported in the axial direction of the main body, and a first yoke, a permanent magnet and a second yoke which are held by the mobile axis body and disposed successively along an axial direction of the mobile axis body. The permanent magnet is magnetized in the axial direction of the mobile axis body and disposed between the first yoke and the second yoke.

Claims (20)

1. An active antivibration device, comprising:

a main body formed by a base body and a housing which are combined in a unified manner;

a mobile element which is elastically supported inside the main body and movable in an axial direction of the main body; and

a coil which is disposed inside the main body and fixed to the main body,

wherein the mobile element includes a mobile axis body whose respective ends in the axial direction of the main body are elastically supported by a first flat spring and a second flat spring, and a first yoke, a permanent magnet and a second yoke which are held by the mobile axis body and disposed successively along an axial direction of the mobile axis body,

wherein the first flat spring whose outer circumferential portion is fixed to an inside of the base body is disposed on one side of the main body in the axial direction of the main body, and the second flat spring whose outer circumferential portion is fixed to a ceiling surface of the housing is disposed on the other side of the main body in the axial direction of the main body, where the outer circumferential portion of the second flat spring is not fixed to an outer circumferential side of the mobile element,

wherein the permanent magnet is magnetized in the axial direction of the mobile axis body and disposed between the first yoke and the second yoke, and

wherein an elastic member and a locking member are disposed on one side of the mobile axis body in the axial direction between the first flat spring and the second flat spring, the elastic member pushing the first yoke and the permanent magnet toward the other side of the mobile axis body in the axial direction of the mobile axis body, the locking member being engaged with an outer circumferential surface of the mobile axis body;

wherein a locking portion of the mobile axis body has a larger diameter in comparison with a portion of the mobile axis body holding the first yoke and permanent magnet disposed on the other side of the mobile axis body in the axial direction of the mobile axis body; and

wherein in the mobile element, the first yoke, the permanent magnet and second yoke are closely arranged in this order along the axial direction of the mobile axis body from the one side that is a side of the elastic member to the other side that is a side of the locking portion.

2. The active antivibration device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first yoke is formed in substantially a disc shape, and a taper face provided on said first yoke for suppressing a generation of a leaking magnetic flux is disposed on an outer-bottom portion of the first yoke.

3. The active antivibration device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the second yoke is provided with a center hole to which the locking portion of the mobile axis body is fixed.

4. The active antivibration device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the base body is disposed on a bottom side of the main body and whose respective ends in an axial direction of the main body being opened and having substantially a cylindrical shape, the housing being disposed on an upper side of the main body and having a bottomed cylindrical shape.

5. The active antivibration device according to claim 4 ,

wherein a support portion protruding radially inward by a predetermined distance is disposed near a center portion of the base body in the axial direction of the main body, and the first flat spring is fixed to one side of the support portion and the coil is fixed to the other side of the support portion.

6. The active antivibration device according to claim 4 ,

wherein an opening which is sealable by a sealing member is formed in a ceiling portion of the housing, and a fixing member for fixing the mobile axis body to the second flat spring by being passed through the opening is disposed.
