According to the active variable-stiffness micro-displacement
actuator based on magnetostrictive driving and the method, magnetostrictive materials are used as actuating elements, and dynamic adjustment of structural stiffness is achieved based on the
delta E effect of the magnetostrictive materials. Comprising a magnetostrictive driving unit, a permanent
magnet, an exciting coil, a framework and a rhombic pre-pressing mechanism. Wherein the permanent magnets at the two ends of the
magnetostriction driving unit provide a bias
magnetic field, and the
excitation coil provides an alternating
magnetic field. The strength and frequency of the alternating
magnetic field are controlled by changing the current in the coil, the material elasticity modulus of the
magnetostriction driving unit is adjusted, and dynamic adjustment of the
structural rigidity of the
actuator is achieved. The
diamond-shaped pre-pressing mechanism provides pre-pressing force for the magnetostrictive material, and meanwhile
magnetic flux loops of the magnetostrictive driving unit and the permanent
magnet can be closed. The active variable-stiffness elastic micro-displacement
actuator has the advantages of being compact in structure, small in size, high in
frequency response block, low in driving
voltage, easy to install and the like. The method is suitable for the fields of
aerospace, ultra-precision driving,
structural vibration control and the like.
