Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing actuator device faces challenges in achieving a high resonant frequency for the second movable part around the second axis while suppressing deformation of the second movable part around the first axis, due to unintended external forces and stress generation.
Innovation Solution
The actuator device incorporates a frame-shaped second movable part with specific connection portions and linear portions that increase the moment of inertia around the first axis while reducing it around the second axis, using a spiral coil and magnetic field generator to enhance the resonant frequency and minimize deformation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the resonant frequency of the second movable part around the second axis is increased to suppress vibration, then the deformation of the second movable part around the first axis is suppressed, but the moment of inertia requirements conflict
Solution Approach 1:
The second movable part employs non-uniform width design where specific connection portions have different widths in different regions. The first connection portions have a first width while the second connection portions have a second width that is different from the first width, creating local variations in moment of inertia to independently control vibration and deformation characteristics
Solution Approach 2:
The patent modifies the geometric parameters of the second movable part by varying the width of different connection portions. By changing the width parameters (first width vs second width) and the positions of connection portions, the moment of inertia distribution is adjusted to achieve both high resonant frequency and low deformation simultaneously
2Stability of the object's composition
If the second movable part is made larger to increase moment of inertia around the first axis, then deformation is suppressed, but the resonant frequency around the second axis decreases
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of uniformly increasing the size of the second movable part, the patent applies local quality by making only specific connection portions wider. The first connection portions maintain a smaller first width while the second connection portions have a larger second width, locally increasing moment of inertia where needed without globally increasing the part size
Solution Approach 2:
The patent resolves the dimensional conflict by introducing width variations in the planar dimension of the second movable part. By varying width in different regions rather than increasing overall size in all dimensions, the moment of inertia is selectively adjusted for different rotational axes
