Non-linear electromagnetic vibration device
First Claim
1. A non-linear electromagnetic vibration device comprising:
- a first vibrating part including,a base,at least a first end unit connected to said base,an armature connected at one end to said end unit, andan electromagnetic coil mounted about said armature;
a second vibrating part including,a generally U-shaped electromagnetic core mounted about said armature and said coil, a free end portion of said armature extends into said generally U-shaped electromagnetic core to a posture wherein the free end of the armature is adjacent to but spaced from a base portion of said generally U-shaped electromagnetic core;
means for operably connecting said first vibrating part to said second vibrating part to permit relative motion between said first vibrating part and said second vibrating part;
said means for operably connecting said first and second vibrating parts including,at least a first generally rectangular, non-linear, bellows plate spring wherein one portion of said spring is rigidly affixed to said first vibrating part and another portion of said spring is rigidly affixed to said second vibrating part; and
electrical power means connected to said electromagnetic coil for supplying electrical current pulses to said coil and electromagnetically inducing movement of said armature within said core in opposition to a non-linear restoring spring force of said at least one generally rectangular, non-linear bellows plate spring operably extending between said first vibrating part and said second vibrating part, whereby a resonant, non-linear electromagnetic vibration may be induced between said first vibrating part and said second vibrating part.

Abstract
A non-linear electromagnetic vibration device including a first vibration part and a second vibration part. A non-linear bellows plate spring set is connected between the first and second vibrating parts. Each spring set is composed of sequentially coupled bellows plate springs, and each plate spring is elastic according to a predetermined particular waveform and has a plate structure of a predetermined shape. The waveform is selectable among many including portions of an exponential curve. The plate structure of each spring is rectangular with an edge which is straight, convex, or concave in contour. The first vibration part of the device is rigidly connected to a corresponding section of each spring set and the second vibration part of the device is coupled to a different or second area of each spring set. An electromagnetic core and armature of an electromagnetic source and respectively included in a different one of said first and second vibration parts, and stable reciprocating structural components each of a parallelogram shaped configuration are formed. Harmonic resonance frequency conversion can be obtained conveniently via mechanical adjustment of the number of plate springs in each sectionalized waveform plate spring set.
