Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of piezoelectric drive and deep-sea exploration equipment, and in particular to a full-sea-depth single-phase driven piezoelectric release mechanism and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydroacoustic remote control is an application of hydroacoustic communication, which uses hydroacoustic communication to transmit control commands. The acoustic releaser is an equipment of the hydroacoustic remote control system, which consists of two parts: the surface deck unit and the underwater acoustic release unit. The surface deck unit realizes the control and status monitoring of the underwater acoustic release unit; the underwater acoustic release unit is used to realize the recovery of the underwater buoy system, while ensuring the reliability and load capacity of the release system.

[0003] The acoustic releaser should adapt to the harsh environment of deep sea, such as high water pressure, strong corrosion and low temperature. It should be able to lock reliably when no release command is received, and release immediately after receiving the release command. At present, according to the type of driving source, the actuator release methods of deep sea releaser include electromagnetic motor drive, pneumatic, fuse and electromagnetic. Different from the above driving sources, piezoelectric actuators use piezoelectric ceramics to excite the controllable micro vibration generated by the stator, and realize the macroscopic movement of the rotor through the friction between the stator and the rotor. The piezoelectric actuator has a simple structure, can be freely arranged in space, and has a high torque-to-weight ratio. When the piezoelectric actuator is used in underwater equipment, there is no pressure difference between its open structure and seawater, and insulation treatment can be completed by simply coating the piezoelectric ceramic sheet exposed to water and its silver-plated layer with glue. The stator and mover contact interface of the piezoelectric actuator allows seawater to contact, and the convection of seawater can effectively reduce the temperature rise problem caused by structural damping and friction under high-frequency vibration, and eliminate the piezoelectric actuator operating frequency drift caused by temperature rise, output performance degradation and other problems. The advantages of fast response and self-locking can better adapt to the deep-sea environment where the submersible is located, avoid the shedding of the mount due to underwater disturbances, and can significantly improve the reliability of the jettisoning system.

[0035] We call this solution a patch solution.

[0036] The present invention also discloses a working method of the full-sea-depth single-phase driven piezoelectric release mechanism when the single-partition sandwich scheme or the patch scheme is adopted, comprising the following steps:

[0037] When locked, the static friction force generated between the actuating heads of the first piezoelectric actuator and the second piezoelectric actuator prevents the slider from sliding on the slide rail, the pulley at the end of the first limiting strip of the limiting plate abuts against the slider, and the second limiting strip of the limiting plate abuts against the lower end of the load-bearing strip of the hanging plate, so that the load-bearing strip is horizontal and thus the load-bearing strip cannot be separated from the anchored weight suspended thereon;

[0038] When releasing:

[0039] The first and second piezoelectric actuators are stimulated by alternating current signals AC-A and AC-B with a time phase difference of 90 degrees, respectively, so that the longitudinal vibration mode of the first piezoelectric actuator and the longitudinal vibration mode of the second sandwich longitudinal vibration are excited simultaneously, and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator and the front end of the actuating head of the second piezoelectric actuator produce elliptical motion, so that the first piezoelectric actuator drives the slider to move toward the direction close to the floating body. The specific cycle process is as follows:

[0040] Process a: In the 0-T / 4 time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a contracted state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to a contracted state, and each point on it moves toward the node position;

[0041] Process b: In the time period T / 4-2T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to an expanded state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a contracted state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves away from the node position;

[0042] Process c: In the time period of 2T / 4-3T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from an expanded state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves toward the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to an expanded state, and each point on it moves away from the node position;

[0043] Process d: In the 3T / 4-T time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to a contracted state, and each point on it moves toward a node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from an expanded state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves toward a node position;

[0044] In process a, the second piezoelectric actuator contracts inward, and the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head tend to separate. Due to the pre-pressure on the second piezoelectric actuator, it will continue to contact the driving surface. However, since the inertial force generated by the micro-elliptical motion from process d to process a is greater than the friction between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head at this time, the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0045] In process b, the second piezoelectric actuator expands outward from the contracted state, and the friction force between the front end of the actuating head of the second piezoelectric actuator and the driving surface of the actuating head of the first piezoelectric actuator is smaller than the inertial force generated from process a to process b, and the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0046] In process c, the second piezoelectric actuator expands outward, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0047] In process d, the second piezoelectric actuator contracts inward, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0048] When the slider slides upward along the slide rail so that the pulley at the end of the first limit strip of the limit plate and the slider are disengaged, the limit plate does not play a limiting role. Under the upward pulling force of the floating body and the downward pulling force of the anchored weight, the load-bearing bar rotates and tilts to drive the limit plate to rotate around the second rotating column, so that the lock body is released to disengage from the anchored weight.

[0049] The present invention also discloses a working method of the full-sea-depth single-phase driven piezoelectric release mechanism when the double-partition sandwich scheme or the patch scheme is adopted, comprising the following steps:

[0050] When locked, the static friction force generated between the actuating heads of the first piezoelectric actuator and the second piezoelectric actuator prevents the slider from sliding on the slide rail, the pulley at the end of the first limiting strip of the limiting plate abuts against the slider, and the second limiting strip of the limiting plate abuts against the lower end of the load-bearing strip of the hanging plate, so that the load-bearing strip is horizontal and thus the load-bearing strip cannot be separated from the anchored weight suspended thereon;

[0051] When releasing:

[0052] The first and second piezoelectric actuators are stimulated by alternating current signals AC-A and AC-B with a time phase difference of 90 degrees, respectively, so that the bending vibration mode of the first piezoelectric actuator and the bending vibration mode of the second piezoelectric actuator are excited simultaneously, and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator and the front end of the actuator head of the second piezoelectric actuator produce elliptical motion, so that the first piezoelectric actuator drives the slider to move toward the direction close to the floating body. The specific cycle process is as follows;

[0053] The clockwise bending of the end of the piezoelectric actuator relative to the flange fixed position is called bending vibration mode A, and the counterclockwise bending of the end of the piezoelectric actuator relative to the flange fixed position is called bending vibration mode B;

[0054] Process a: In the 0-T / 4 time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode A to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam body; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward a position close to the center axis of the front beam body;

[0055] Process b: In the time period T / 4-2T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode B, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode B to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the beam;

[0056] Process c: In the time period of 2T / 4-3T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode B to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position close to the center axis of the front beam body; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam body;

[0057] Process d: In the 3T / 4-T time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward the position close to the node; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode A to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward the position close to the center axis of the front beam;

[0058] In process a, the first piezoelectric actuator bends, and the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head tend to separate. Due to the pre-pressure on the second piezoelectric actuator, it will continue to contact the driving surface. However, since the inertial force generated by the micro-elliptical motion from process d to process a is greater than the friction between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head at this time, the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0059] In process b, the first piezoelectric actuator moves closer to the center axis of the front beam from the bending vibration mode B, and the friction force between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator's actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator's actuator head is smaller than the inertia force generated from process a to process b, and the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0060] In process c, the second piezoelectric actuator bends away from the center axis of the front beam, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the first piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0061] In process d, the second piezoelectric actuator bends toward the center axis of the front beam, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0062] When the slider slides upward along the slide rail so that the pulley at the end of the first limit strip of the limit plate and the slider are disengaged, the limit plate does not play a limiting role. Under the upward pulling force of the floating body and the downward pulling force of the anchored weight, the load-bearing bar rotates and tilts to drive the limit plate to rotate around the second rotating column, so that the lock body is released to disengage from the anchored weight.

[0063] Compared with the prior art, the present invention adopts the above technical solution and has the following technical effects:

[0064] 1. Friction drive allows seawater to enter without dynamic seals;

[0065] 2. The patch type piezoelectric transducer only needs to be waterproofed and insulated; the threaded blind holes in the sandwich type piezoelectric transducer can be filled with insulating curing glue; whether it is a patch type or a sandwich type piezoelectric transducer, they have no cavity inside the structure, no pressure difference with the external seawater, and will not be damaged under high water pressure conditions, and can adapt to the harsh environment of high water pressure, low temperature, and strong corrosion in the deep sea;

[0066] 3. The buoyancy provided by the float and the detector ensures a secure contact between the piezoelectric transducer and the mover during fixed-point monitoring and response release, and acts as a lifting force to enable the detector to float when it is separated and rising;

[0067] 4. The static friction of the piezoelectric actuator is used to realize the power-off self-locking function of the release system. The cooperation of the slide rail and the piezoelectric actuator improves the ability to cope with extreme working conditions such as large-angle tilt and large-amplitude swing of the detector, greatly enhancing the reliability of the piezoelectric-driven releaser in long-term underwater service.

[0118] The present invention also discloses a working method of the full-sea-depth single-phase driven piezoelectric release mechanism when the single-partition sandwich scheme or the patch scheme is adopted, comprising the following steps:

[0119] When locked, the static friction force generated between the actuating heads of the first piezoelectric actuator and the second piezoelectric actuator prevents the slider from sliding on the slide rail, the pulley at the end of the first limit bar of the limit plate abuts against the slider, and the second limit bar of the limit plate abuts against the lower end of the load-bearing bar of the hanging plate, so that the load-bearing bar is horizontal and thus the load-bearing bar cannot be separated from the anchored weight suspended thereon; specifically, Fig.10 As shown, the anchor weight is hung on the hook through the second connecting device, and the upward pulling force F t The downward gravity G causes the hanging plate to produce a clockwise moment M z (G); The load-bearing bar and the limit plate are against each other, and the pressure F at the contact point p The limit plate generates a counterclockwise moment M z (F p ); The slider provides a supporting force F for the pulley against which it abuts h , support force F h Provide a clockwise moment M for the limit plate z (F h ), preventing the limit plate from rotating counterclockwise; torque M z (F h ) is equal to the moment M z (F p ), the limit plate cannot rotate, realizing the locking function;

[0120] When releasing:

[0121] The first and second piezoelectric actuators are stimulated by alternating current signals AC-A and AC-B with a time phase difference of 90 degrees, respectively, so that the longitudinal vibration mode of the first piezoelectric actuator and the longitudinal vibration mode of the second sandwich longitudinal vibration are excited simultaneously, and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator and the front end of the actuating head of the second piezoelectric actuator produce elliptical motion, so that the first piezoelectric actuator drives the slider to move toward the direction close to the floating body, such as Fig.13 As shown, the specific cycle process is as follows:

[0122] Process a: In the 0-T / 4 time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a contracted state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to a contracted state, and each point on it moves toward the node position;

[0123] Process b: In the time period T / 4-2T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to an expanded state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a contracted state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves away from the node position;

[0124] Process c: In the time period of 2T / 4-3T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from an expanded state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves toward the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to an expanded state, and each point on it moves away from the node position;

[0125] Process d: In the 3T / 4-T time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to a contracted state, and each point on it moves toward a node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from an expanded state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves toward a node position;

[0126] In process a, the second piezoelectric actuator contracts inward, and the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head tend to separate. Due to the pre-pressure on the second piezoelectric actuator, it will continue to contact the driving surface. However, since the inertial force generated by the micro-elliptical motion from process d to process a is greater than the friction between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head at this time, the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0127] In process b, the second piezoelectric actuator expands outward from the contracted state, and the friction force between the front end of the actuating head of the second piezoelectric actuator and the driving surface of the actuating head of the first piezoelectric actuator is smaller than the inertial force generated from process a to process b, and the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0128] In process c, the second piezoelectric actuator expands outward, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0129] In process d, the second piezoelectric actuator contracts inward, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0130] When the slider slides upward along the slide rail so that the pulley at the end of the first limit strip of the limit plate is separated from the slider, the limit plate does not play a limiting role. Under the upward pulling force of the floating body and the downward pulling force of the anchored weight, the load-bearing bar rotates and tilts to drive the limit plate to rotate around the second rotating column, so that the release lock body is separated from the anchored weight. Fig.11 shown.

[0131] like Fig.12 As shown, in the longitudinal vibration working mode of the present invention, the driving surface forms a relative ellipse as follows:

[0132] There are beams 1 and 2 on the reference base plane O. 1 and O 2 For its nodes, establish a conjoined basis for each. i is the attitude angle, which is determined by the conjoined basis x i The angle between the positive direction of the axis and the positive direction of the reference base x-axis is determined. 1 =AC-1, beam 2 at signal U 2 =AC-2, each generates first-order longitudinal vibration. Point P is the actuating point of beam 1, and point Q is any point on beam 2. P and Q move to P' and Q' with the vibration of the beam. The vector of point P' is

[0135]

[0136]

[0137] Where l P Represents the length from point P to point O

[0143] Among them, T 1 It is a conjoined group O 1 With respect to the direction cosine matrix of the common basis O, Can be simplified to

[0145] Same reason

[0146]

[0147] Therefore, the position vector of point Q' relative to point P' is

[0148]

[0149] Take θ 1 =0°,ω 1 =ω 2 =ω, then formula (9) can be simplified to

[0150]

[0151] The amplitude and phase of the composite vibration in the OY direction with reference to the base plane can be expressed as follows

[0152]

[0153]

[0154] Take D Y =-a 2 sinθ 2 , then formula (10) can be simplified to

[0155]

[0156] Its trajectory satisfies the equation;

[0157]

[0158] Formula (14) shows that the vibration trajectory of two simple harmonic vibrations with a certain angle after synthesis is an ellipse;

[0159] when θ 2 =90°, formula (14) can be simplified as follows:

[0160]

[0161] Formula (15) shows that for two spatially orthogonal bending-vibration beams, when the phase difference between the excitation voltages is 90°, the relative vibration trajectory of the particles at the contact part is an ellipse, and the length of the main axis of the ellipse can be adjusted by adjusting the amplitude of the excitation voltage.

[0162] The present invention also discloses a working method of the full-sea-depth single-phase driven piezoelectric release mechanism when the double-partition sandwich scheme or the patch scheme is adopted, comprising the following steps:

[0163] When locked, the static friction force generated between the actuating heads of the first piezoelectric actuator and the second piezoelectric actuator prevents the slider from sliding on the slide rail, the pulley at the end of the first limiting strip of the limiting plate abuts against the slider, and the second limiting strip of the limiting plate abuts against the lower end of the load-bearing strip of the hanging plate, so that the load-bearing strip is horizontal and thus the load-bearing strip cannot be separated from the anchored weight suspended thereon;

[0164] When releasing:

[0165] The first and second piezoelectric actuators are stimulated by alternating current signals AC-A and AC-B with a time phase difference of 90 degrees, respectively, so that the bending vibration mode of the first piezoelectric actuator and the bending vibration mode of the second piezoelectric actuator are excited simultaneously, and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator and the front end of the actuator head of the second piezoelectric actuator produce elliptical motion, so that the first piezoelectric actuator drives the slider to move toward the direction close to the floating body, such as Fig.15 As shown, the specific cycle process is as follows;

[0166] The clockwise bending of the end of the piezoelectric actuator relative to the flange fixed position is called bending vibration mode A, and the counterclockwise bending of the end of the piezoelectric actuator relative to the flange fixed position is called bending vibration mode B;

[0167] Process a: In the 0-T / 4 time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode A to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam body; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward a position close to the center axis of the front beam body;

[0168] Process b: In the time period T / 4-2T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode B, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode B to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the beam;

[0169] Process c: In the time period of 2T / 4-3T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode B to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position close to the center axis of the front beam body; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam body;

[0170] Process d: In the 3T / 4-T time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward the position close to the node; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode A to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward the position close to the center axis of the front beam;

[0171] In process a, the first piezoelectric actuator bends, and the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head tend to separate. Due to the pre-pressure on the second piezoelectric actuator, it will continue to contact the driving surface. However, since the inertial force generated by the micro-elliptical motion from process d to process a is greater than the friction between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head at this time, the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0172] In process b, the first piezoelectric actuator moves closer to the center axis of the front beam from the bending vibration mode B, and the friction force between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator's actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator's actuator head is smaller than the inertia force generated from process a to process b, and the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right;

[0173] In process c, the second piezoelectric actuator bends away from the center axis of the front beam, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the first piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0174] In process d, the second piezoelectric actuator bends toward the center axis of the front beam, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right;

[0175] When the slider slides upward along the slide rail so that the pulley at the end of the first limit strip of the limit plate and the slider are disengaged, the limit plate does not play a limiting role. Under the upward pulling force of the floating body and the downward pulling force of the anchored weight, the load-bearing bar rotates and tilts to drive the limit plate to rotate around the second rotating column, so that the lock body is released to disengage from the anchored weight.

[0176] like Fig.14 As shown, the principle of the driving surface forming a relative ellipse in the bending vibration working mode of the present invention is as follows:

[0177] There are beams 1 and 2 on the reference base plane O. 1 and O 2 As their center of gravity, establish a conjoined basis for each. i is the attitude angle, which is determined by the conjoined basis x i The angle between the positive direction of the axis and the positive direction of the reference base x-axis is determined. 1 =, beam 2 in signal U 2 Under the excitation of , each produces first-order bending vibration. Point P is the actuating point of beam 1, and point Q is an arbitrary point on beam 2. P and Q move to P' and Q' with the vibration of the beam. The vector of point P' is

[0178]

[0179] in

[0180]

[0181]

[0182] Where l P Represents the length from point P to node O

[0183]

[0184] Substituting (17), (18) and (19) into (16), we can obtain:

[0185]

[0186] in

[0187]

[0188] Among them, T 1 It is a conjoined group O 1 With respect to the direction cosine matrix of the common basis O, Can be simplified to

[0189]

[0190] Same reason

[0191]

[0192] Therefore, the position vector of point Q' relative to point P' is

[0193]

[0194] Take θ 1 =0°,ω 1 =ω 2 =ω, then formula (24) can be simplified to

[0195] The amplitude and phase of the composite vibration in the OY direction with reference to the base plane can be expressed as follows

[0196]

[0197] Take D X =-a 2 sinθ 2 , then formula (25) can be simplified to

[0198] Its trajectory satisfies the equation

[0199]

[0200] Formula (29) shows that the vibration trajectory of two simple harmonic vibrations with a certain angle is an ellipse after being synthesized.

[0201] when θ 2 =90°, equation (29) can be simplified to

[0202]

[0203] Formula (30) shows that for two longitudinal vibration beams that are orthogonal in space, when the phase difference between the excitation voltages is 90°, the relative vibration trajectory of the particles at the contact part is an ellipse, and the length of the main axis of the ellipse can be adjusted by adjusting the amplitude of the excitation voltage.

The specific cycle process is as follows: Process a: In the 0-T / 4 time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a contracted state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to a contracted state, and each point on it moves toward the node position; Process b: In the time period T / 4-2T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to an expanded state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a contracted state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; Process c: In the time period of 2T / 4-3T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from an expanded state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves toward the node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to an expanded state, and each point on it moves away from the node position; Process d: In the 3T / 4-T time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from a balanced state to a contracted state, and each point on it moves toward a node position; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from an expanded state to a balanced state, and each point on it moves toward a node position; In process a, the second piezoelectric actuator contracts inward, and the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head tend to separate. Due to the pre-pressure on the second piezoelectric actuator, it will continue to contact the driving surface. However, since the inertial force generated by the micro-elliptical motion from process d to process a is greater than the friction between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head at this time, the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right; In process b, the second piezoelectric actuator expands outward from the contracted state, and the friction force between the front end of the actuating head of the second piezoelectric actuator and the driving surface of the actuating head of the first piezoelectric actuator is smaller than the inertial force generated from process a to process b, and the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right; In process c, the second piezoelectric actuator expands outward, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right; In process d, the second piezoelectric actuator contracts inward, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right; When the slider slides upward along the slide rail so that the pulley at the end of the first limit strip of the limit plate and the slider are disengaged, the limit plate does not play a limiting role. Under the upward pulling force of the floating body and the downward pulling force of the anchored weight, the load-bearing bar rotates and tilts to drive the limit plate to rotate around the second rotating column, so that the lock body is released to disengage from the anchored weight.

The specific cycle process is as follows; The clockwise bending of the end of the piezoelectric actuator relative to the flange fixed position is called bending vibration mode A, and the counterclockwise bending of the end of the piezoelectric actuator relative to the flange fixed position is called bending vibration mode B; Process a: In the 0-T / 4 time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode A to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam body; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward a position close to the center axis of the front beam body; Process b: In the time period T / 4-2T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode B, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode B to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the beam; Process c: In the time period of 2T / 4-3T / 4, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode B to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward a position close to the center axis of the front beam body; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward a position away from the center axis of the front beam body; Process d: In the 3T / 4-T time period, the first piezoelectric actuator changes from the equilibrium state to the bending vibration mode A, and each point on it moves toward the position close to the node; the second piezoelectric actuator changes from the bending vibration mode A to the equilibrium state, and each point on it moves toward the position close to the center axis of the front beam; In process a, the first piezoelectric actuator bends, and the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head tend to separate. Due to the pre-pressure on the second piezoelectric actuator, it will continue to contact the driving surface. However, since the inertial force generated by the micro-elliptical motion from process d to process a is greater than the friction between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator head at this time, the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right; In process b, the first piezoelectric actuator moves closer to the center axis of the front beam from the bending vibration mode B, and the friction force between the front end of the second piezoelectric actuator's actuator head and the driving surface of the first piezoelectric actuator's actuator head is smaller than the inertia force generated from process a to process b, and the first piezoelectric actuator will continue to move horizontally to the right; In process c, the second piezoelectric actuator bends away from the center axis of the front beam, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the first piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right; In process d, the second piezoelectric actuator bends toward the center axis of the front beam, and its top end and the driving surface make a slight elliptical motion, causing the piezoelectric actuator to move horizontally to the right; When the slider slides upward along the slide rail so that the pulley at the end of the first limit strip of the limit plate and the slider are disengaged, the limit plate does not play a limiting role. Under the upward pulling force of the floating body and the downward pulling force of the anchored weight, the load-bearing bar rotates and tilts to drive the limit plate to rotate around the second rotating column, so that the lock body is released to disengage from the anchored weight.
