Active dynamic vibration absorber apparatus for vehicle
An active dynamic vibration absorber apparatus for a vehicle that may be mounted to a frame of the vehicle and vibrates when power may be supplied to attenuate vibration of the vehicle, may include a housing, an upper spring and a lower spring, and a yoke assembly disposed between the upper spring and the lower spring which may be plates arranged in parallel, and selectively vibrates up/down in the housing, wherein the yoke assembly has an upper protrusion and a lower protrusion that protrude from the top and the bottom thereof, respectively, the upper protrusion being fastened to the center of the upper spring through the housing, and the lower protrusion being fastened to the center of the lower spring in the housing.
1. An active dynamic vibration absorber apparatus for a vehicle that is mounted to a frame of the vehicle and vibrates when power is supplied to attenuate vibration of the vehicle, the active dynamic vibration absorber apparatus comprising:
a housing;
an upper spring and a lower spring; and
a yoke assembly disposed between the upper spring and the lower spring which are plates arranged in parallel, and selectively vibrates up/down in the housing;
wherein the yoke assembly has an upper protrusion and a lower protrusion that protrude from a top and a bottom thereof, respectively, the upper protrusion being fastened to a center of the upper spring through the housing, and the lower protrusion being fastened to the center of the lower spring in the housing;
wherein the yoke assembly includes:
a lower yoke having a cup shape and opening the top thereof and the lower protrusion formed on the bottom of the lower yoke;
a magnetic substance fastened to upper surface of the lower yoke; and
an upper yoke fastened to the top of the magnetic substance and having the upper protrusion on the top thereof;
an insertion space defined between an inner circumference of the lower yoke and outer circumferences of the upper yoke and the magnetic substance; and
a coil unit disposed in the insertion space and wound with a coil, wherein an upper portion of the coil unit is fixed to the housing;
wherein the lower spring and the upper spring each have two or more spokes radially extending from the center, and ends of the spokes are fastened to the housing; and
wherein the spokes are spirally formed.
2. The active dynamic vibration absorber apparatus for the vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a connection ring connecting the upper yoke with the lower yoke is fitted on the outer circumference of the magnetic substance and a portion of the upper and lower yokes.
