- Abstract
- The solenoid magnetic actuator has been widely used as an actuator for MS (magnetic switch). Thus, conventional MSs continuously consume electrical power to maintain a closed state. To address this problem, an innovative structure which uses a permanent magnet to generate holding force in the closed state without electrical power is suggested in this paper. Further, the permanent magnet is dedicated to the opening operation and the closing operation by means of its magnetic force. In other words, an eco-friendly MS is proposed in this research. However, this structure has a critical problem in that, if unexpected external force is applied to the MS when in the open state, the MS returns to the closed state by the force of the permanent magnet and remains in the closed state, causing an unintended operation of the load. To solve this problem, a novel inter-locking mechanism is proposed. Hence, we termed the proposed novel MS the MSPI (magnetic switch using a permanent magnet and an inter-locking system). In addition, analysis and design methods for the MSPI are proposed in this paper. The usefulness of the MSPI and the accuracy of the analysis and design methods are confirmed through an experiment.
