Electromagnetic suspension
The present invention provides an electromagnetic suspension capable of suppressing interference with other components and devices, being mounted in a narrow space, and having a small thrust pulsation, a large thrust, and a high damping performance even for a high-frequency vibration source. An electromagnetic suspension of the present invention includes a linear motor that includes an armature and a permanent magnet portion, the armature including a winding and a magnetic body, the permanent magnet portion being disposed on an outer periphery of the armature and including a permanent magnet and a cylindrical magnetic body, and the armature and the permanent magnet portion being relatively linearly driven in the linear motor, in which a recess recessed from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical magnetic body and a protrusion protruding from the outer peripheral portion are disposed on the same circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical magnetic body.
1. An electromagnetic suspension comprising:
a linear motor that includes an armature and a permanent magnet portion, the armature including a winding and a magnetic body, the permanent magnet portion being disposed on an outer periphery of the armature and including a permanent magnet and a cylindrical magnetic body, and the armature and the permanent magnet portion being relatively linearly driven in the linear motor, wherein
a recess recessed from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical magnetic body and a protrusion protruding from the outer peripheral portion are disposed on the same circumference of the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical magnetic body.
2. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion is divided into a plurality of portions.
3. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
a cross-sectional area of the protrusion is equal to or larger than a cross-sectional area of the recess.
4. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion is configured separately from the cylindrical magnetic body.
5. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion includes a chamfered portion obtained by chamfering a corner portion of the protrusion.
6. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
a material of the protrusion has a higher magnetic permeability than a material of the cylindrical magnetic body.
7. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
a cylindrical end cover is disposed at one end of the linear motor, a spring lower connection rod is coupled to the cylindrical end cover, and a vehicle connection rod is disposed at an other end of the linear motor.
8. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 7 , wherein
a lower spring holding member is disposed on an outer periphery of the linear motor and in a middle of the linear motor, an upper spring holding member is disposed at the vehicle connection rod, and a spring is disposed on the outer periphery of the linear motor so as to be sandwiched between the upper spring holding member and the lower spring holding member.
9. The electromagnetic suspension according to claim 1 , wherein
the protrusion rotates relative to the cylindrical magnetic body.
