Patent ID: 10784032

Abstract:
The bistable electromechanical actuator comprises an actuator shaft (7) arranged in a house (1), said shaft being movable along its longitudinal direction, a base member (11) attached to the actuator shaft (7), said base member being slidably attached to a guiding element (3, 3′,3″) through a stud (15), said guiding element being secured to the house and having two locking notches (2a, 2b) with a predetermined distance therebetween and further having a straight or substantially straight guiding section (2c) formed between said two locking notches in a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of said shaft (7), wherein at least one permanent magnet is fixed to the base member (11) so that the magnetic axis of each permanent magnet is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said shaft (7), and wherein at least one electromagnetic coil (13) is arranged within said house (1) so that in an idle state of the actuator, one end of each coil (13) is arranged to be adjacent to one of the at least one permanent magnet (12) in such a manner that the position of said end of the respective coil (13) is slightly offset, along the longitudinal direction of said shaft (7), with respect to the position of the permanent magnet (12) adjacent thereto.
