Oscillating drive comprising spiraling yokes
Oscillating drive ( 1 ), in particular for driving an output shaft ( 30 ) in a rotationally oscillating fashion, having an electric machine which comprises: a rotor ( 3 ) which can oscillate about a rotational axis ( 10 ) and which comprises a multiplicity of permanent magnet poles ( 5 - 8 ), a stator which comprises a circular winding ( 12 ) which is concentric with respect to the rotational axis.
1. Oscillating drive, having an electric machine, wherein the electric machine comprises:
a rotor which can oscillate about a rotational axis and which comprises a multiplicity of permanent magnet poles,
a stator which comprises a circular winding which is concentric with respect to the rotational axis,
wherein the stator has a multiplicity of yokes engaging at least partially around the winding and being oriented obliquely and spiraling with respect to the axial direction, and further comprising
a control device which is configured to actuate the winding in such a way that the rotor carries out an oscillating movement, wherein the control device is configured in such a way that the winding is actuated, with the result that the rotor carries out an oscillating movement in an angular range which is smaller than the angular interval between two adjacent permanent magnet poles of the permanent magnet poles.
2. Oscillating drive according to claim 1 , wherein the stator is the only stator, and the winding is the only winding.
3. Oscillating drive according to claim 1 , having a rotational travel sensor which is arranged to detect an angular position of the rotor, and which is connected to an input of the control device.
4. Oscillating drive according to claim 1 , having an end stop which is arranged in a positionally fixed fashion with respect to the stator and which is arranged in such a way that a rotational travel of the rotor is limited.
5. Oscillating drive according to claim 1 , wherein the yokes become wider in a direction radially outwards in the circumferential direction or taper radially inwards.
6. Oscillating drive according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor is free of rotational springs.
7. Method for operating an oscillating drive according to claim 1 , comprising:
energizing the winding with a current with a first direction,
de-energizing the winding,
energizing the winding with a current with a second direction which is opposed to the first direction,
de-energizing the winding, and
repeating the energization of the winding with a current with the first direction.
8. Method according to claim 7 , with continuing detection of an angular position of the rotor, wherein the energization with the current in the first direction and/or the energization with the current in the second direction are/is switched off as soon as the rotor has reached a respective predefined speed or respective predefined acceleration or respective predefined position.
