The present invention provides a method of sensorless control of a linear reciprocating electrodynamic machine used for driving a thermoacoustic device, and/or a similar frequency dependent load. Sensorless control is accomplished by estimating the state of predetermined performance parameters at the linear machine through the use of a system model. Thereafter, the method comprises providing a control means operative to obtain the estimated performance parameters and cause manipulation of at least one input parameter to the linear machine such that desired performance parameters are obtained in view of the estimated performance parameters.

A reciprocating motor and a reciprocating compressor having the same make the manufacture of a stator easier and therefore reduce manufacturing costs by configuring the stator such that an inner stator positioned inside the mover and an outer stator positioned outside the mover are integrally formed, or by making the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the stator have the same curvature. Also, no gap is generated between the inner stator and the outer stator, and this prevents magnetic leakage, thereby improving the performance of the motor. Also, the use of magnets can be reduced by omitting magnets between stator blocks, and therefore manufacturing costs can be reduced, when compared to the efficiency of the motor.

A rotary reciprocating acoustic transducer for producing sound in response to an applied electrical signal has a ported tubular housing having a generally cylindrical chamber with an interior lumen which is generally symmetrical about a central axis and opposing first and second linear reciprocating electrodynamic motors mounted over the tubular housing member's first and second open end, with a reciprocating rotatable transducer vane assembly with first and second rotating vanes projecting radially away from a central, axially aligned shaft driven by the first and second linear reciprocating motors.

A stator for a reciprocating motor includes a bobbin made of an insulating material in which a winding coil is located; a terminal unit forming a single body with the bobbin and connecting the winding coil electrically with an outer power source; and a core unit stacked radially along with the bobbin started from one side of the terminal unit. Therefore, the winding coil and the bobbin can be coupled in simple way, and the core unit can be stacked simply and precisely, so the mass productivity of the motor is able to be increased. Also, the size of the core unit is able to be managed simply and precisely, and then, the contact and impact with other components constructing the motor is prevented, whereby the reliability of the motor can be improved.

One aspect of the invention provides a firing apparatus that provides an arcuate visual effect. The firing apparatus includes a motor, an enclosure housing the motor and an arm connected to a shaft of the motor for moving a pyrotechnic device such as a gerb. Another aspect of the invention provides a pyrotechnic system that includes a firing apparatus including a reciprocal motor, a firing arm having a first end connected to a shaft of the reciprocal motor and a second end adapted to emit an arcuate pyrotechnic effect, a control unit in communication with the firing apparatus for controlling operation of the reciprocal motor and an ignition unit in communication with the firing apparatus for initiating the pyrotechnic effect.

The present invention relates to a rare-earth sintered magnet 100 containing an R-T-B-based alloy and a nitride of a transition element, while the nitride is distributed preferentially to a surface part. (R, T, and B indicate a rare-earth element, at least one of iron and cobalt, and boron, respectively.)

A magnetically actuated reciprocating motor utilizes the stored energy of rare earth magnets and an electromagnetic field provided by a solenoid to reciprocally drive a solenoid assembly. A converting mechanism, such as a connecting rod and crankshaft, converts the reciprocating motion of the solenoid assembly to power a work object. The solenoid assembly comprises a solenoid having a nonferromagnetic spool with a tubular center section and a coil of wire wrapped around the center section. A magnetic actuator has a permanent magnet at each end of an elongated shaft that is received through the center section of the spool. A switching mechanism switches magnetic polarity at the ends of the solenoid so the solenoid assembly is alternatively repelled and attracted by the permanent magnets. A controlling mechanism interconnecting an output shaft and the switching mechanism provides the timing to switch the polarity of the solenoid and reciprocate the solenoid assembly.

A stator of a reciprocating motor includes a ring-shaped bobbin including a winding coil 400 therein; a plurality of unit laminated assemblies each constructed of a plurality of lamination sheets and coupled to the bobblin in a circumferential direction; a fixing means integrally formed with the bobbin and for fixing the unit laminated assemblies to the bobbin; and an inner core inserted in an outer core at a certain interval between itself and a round inner circumferential surface formed by inner surface of the unit laminated assemblies, so that components can be easily assembled, the number of assembling processes and the number of components can be reduced.

A reciprocating engine has several piston assemblies fitted with embedded magnets in positions that can be alternately repelled and attracted by electromagnetic coils within each of the piston cylinders. The magnetic piston assemblies are connected by rods to a crankshaft with a flywheel. The electromagnetic coils are vented to allow air intake and exhaust to flow through to the piston chambers. Valves and valve timing are controlled relative to the crankshaft rotation such that compressed air can be generated and stored in tanks. The compressed air is used to power air motors to turn electric generators for on-board battery charging. The reciprocating electric engine is configured to idle at a speed that overcomes friction.

A magnetically actuated reciprocating motor utilizes the stored energy of rare earth magnets and an electromagnetic field provided by a solenoid to reciprocally drive a solenoid assembly. A converting mechanism, such as a connecting rod and crankshaft, converts the reciprocating motion of the solenoid assembly to power a work object. The solenoid assembly comprises a solenoid having a nonferromagnetic spool with a tubular center section and a coil of wire wrapped around the center section. The center section of the spool reciprocates over a fixed magnetic actuator having a permanent magnet at each end of an elongated tubular shaft. The two permanent magnets have extension members disposed in the shaft with inward ends that are in spaced apart relation to form a gap therebetween. A switching mechanism switches magnetic polarity at the ends of the solenoid so the solenoid assembly is alternatively repelled and attracted by the permanent magnets.

Disclosed are a stator for a reciprocating motor and a manufacturing method thereof which are able to simplify assembling processes, to reduce assembling time, and thereby to improve productivity by laminating an inner stator to be a straight line shape and bending to be a cylindrical shape. The stator is fabricated by laminating lamination sheets as a straight line and bending it to be a cylindrical shape, and a mounting band is fixed on inner circumferential surface of the lamination sheets so as to maintain the lamination sheets connected when the lamination sheets are bent to be the cylindrical shape.
