Embodiments of the present application

[0027] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] An embodiment of the present application provides a linear motor 10, which comprises a housing 1, a vibrator assembly 2, a stator assembly 3 and an elastic assembly 4, please refer to Figs. 1-7 and Fig. 9. The housing 1 has a housing space 101. Wherein, the stator assembly 3 is fixed in the housing space 101, the vibrator assembly 2 is suspended in the housing space 101, and the elastic assembly 4 is used to suspend and support the vibrator assembly 2 in the housing space 101. The vibrator assembly 2 comprises a center magnetic steel part 201. The stator assembly 3 comprises a coil part 301 and an assistant magnetic steel part 302. The coil part 301 and the assistant magnetic steel part 302 are arranged along a first direction. The coil part 301 is sleeved in the outer circumferential middle part of the center magnetic steel part 201, and the two ends of the center magnetic steel part 201 are respectively provided with the assistant magnetic steel part 302. After the coil part 301 is electrified, the vibrator assembly 2 is pushed to vibrate along the first direction, and the assistant magnetic steel part 302 and the elastic assembly 4 jointly provide a restoring force for the vibrator assembly 2, so that the vibrator assembly 2 reciprocates along the first direction.

[0029] In some examples, the first direction can be the X-axis.

[0030] In the embodiments of the present application, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the coil part 301 can drive the vibrator assembly 2 to vibrate in the first direction when the coil part 301 is energized, and the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the elastic assembly 4 jointly provide the restoring force for the vibrator assembly 2 to reciprocate in the first direction. The magnetic interaction force between the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the central magnetic steel part 201 can increase the negative stiffness, thereby reducing the resonance frequency of the linear motor 10 and improving the low-frequency vibration feeling. Meanwhile, the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 does not affect the vibration path of the vibrator assembly 2 and does not occupy the design size in the first direction, so it does not increase the size of the linear motor 10. Compared with the conventional motor, the linear motor 10 can be designed with a large stroke and improved low-frequency vibration feeling. Moreover, the attenuation of the electromagnetic driving force under the large stroke can be improved, so that the motor has a relatively stable input performance in the stroke. In addition, the elastic assembly 4 does not need to be designed to be softer to reduce the stiffness of the motor system, so the process and thickness requirements of the elastic assembly 4 can be relaxed, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the motor as a whole. Moreover, the negative stiffness of the motor system can be adjusted by controlling the size and magnetism of the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302, and the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 has a simple structure, is easy to process and has low cost, so the production cost can be effectively controlled.

[0031] As an example, referring to FIG. 7, in the initial state, the magnetic force of the linear motor 10 is zero, and the vibrator assembly 2 is balanced and located at the center position. When the coil part 301 is energized, the vibrator assembly 2 is driven to swing in the first direction, the magnetic resistance between the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the central magnetic steel part 201 changes, the magnetic interaction force of the two auxiliary magnetic steel parts 302 on the central magnetic steel part 201 is unbalanced, the magnetic interaction force of one side of the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 increases, and the magnetic interaction force of the other side of the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 decreases, so that when the central magnetic steel part 201 deviates from the center position in the first direction, an unbalanced magnetic interaction force F in the first direction is generated. By controlling the position and size of the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302, the magnetic interaction force F can change linearly with the deviation from the center position. Referring to FIG. 8, the low-frequency vibration feeling of the linear motor 10 of the present application is significantly improved compared with the low-frequency vibration feeling of the conventional motor of the comparative example.

The first magnetic steel 2011 and the second magnetic steel 2013 generate a magnetic field, the coil part 301 generates a driving force in the magnetic field when energized, drives the vibrator assembly 2 to vibrate in the first direction, and the iron core 2012 can enhance the magnetic field to make the driving force larger.

[0034] It can be understood that, in the initial state, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 7, the coil part 301 is arranged symmetrically about the core 2012, which can maximize the use of the magnetic field and generate greater driving force.

[0035] In other embodiments, the core 2012 can also be replaced by a structure of other materials that can enhance the magnetic field.

[0036] In some more preferred embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the first magnetic steel 2011 and the second magnetic steel 2013 are magnetized along the first direction, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic steel 2011 and the second magnetic steel 2013 are arranged in the same polarity, thereby generating a strong magnetic field.

[0037] In some examples, referring to FIG. 7, the first magnetic steel 2011 and the second magnetic steel 2013 are magnetized along the first direction, the N pole of the first magnetic steel 2011 is arranged opposite to the N pole of the second magnetic steel 2013, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic steel 2011 and the second magnetic steel 2013 are arranged in the same polarity, thereby generating a strong magnetic field.

[0040] In some examples, referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 4, FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, each auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 can include a first auxiliary magnetic steel group 3021. Each first auxiliary magnetic steel group 3021 includes two first auxiliary magnetic steels 30211, the two first auxiliary magnetic steels 30211 are arranged in a second direction and are respectively arranged on both sides of the end of the center magnetic steel part 201.

At the same time, the two first auxiliary magnetic steels 30211 are also arranged in the same polarity with the central magnetic steel part 201, and by using the same pole repulsion principle, repulsive force is generated to form a magnetic spring system, so that the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the elastic assembly 4 can jointly provide a restoring force for the vibrator assembly 2 to reciprocate along the first direction, and the magnetic interaction force between the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the central magnetic steel part 201 can increase the negative stiffness, thereby reducing the resonance frequency of the linear motor 10 and improving the low-frequency vibration feeling.

The four first auxiliary magnetic steels 30211 of the two auxiliary magnetic steel parts 302 are magnetized along the second direction respectively, and the S poles of the two first auxiliary magnetic steels 30211 of one of the auxiliary magnetic steel parts 302 are arranged opposite to the S pole of the first magnetic steel 2011 respectively, and the S poles of the two first auxiliary magnetic steels 30211 of the other auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 are arranged opposite to the S pole of the second magnetic steel 2013 respectively, and by using the same pole repulsion principle, repulsive force is generated to form a magnetic spring system, so that the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the elastic assembly 4 can jointly provide a restoring force for the vibrator assembly 2 to reciprocate along the first direction, and the magnetic interaction force between the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the central magnetic steel part 201 can increase the negative stiffness, thereby reducing the resonance frequency of the linear motor 10 and improving the low-frequency vibration feeling.

[0044] As an example, the two second auxiliary magnetic steels of the second auxiliary magnetic steel group are magnetized along the third direction, and the two second auxiliary magnetic steels are arranged in the same polarity. At the same time, the two second auxiliary magnetic steels are also arranged in the same polarity with the center magnetic steel part 201, and the repulsive force is generated by the same-pole repulsion principle to form a magnetic spring system, so that the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the elastic assembly 4 can jointly provide a restoring force for the vibrator assembly 2 to make the vibrator assembly 2 reciprocate along the first direction. In addition, the magnetic interaction force between the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 and the center magnetic steel part 201 can increase the negative stiffness, thereby reducing the resonance frequency of the linear motor 10 and improving the low-frequency vibration feeling.

[0045] In some examples, the first auxiliary magnetic steel 30211 can be a permanent magnet, and the second auxiliary magnetic steel can also be a permanent magnet.

In this embodiment, the elastic sheet 401 provides spring stiffness, and the magnetic force generated by the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302 on the central magnetic steel part 201 of the vibrator assembly 2 can increase the negative stiffness of the system. Moreover, due to the arrangement of the auxiliary magnetic steel part 302, the soft elastic sheet 401 is not required to increase the negative stiffness, which can relax the process and thickness requirements of the elastic sheet 401, and improve the stability and reliability of the motor as a whole.
