  • Patent number: 9153403
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnet device including a horizontal portion of a yoke arranged near one end portion of an iron core, a movable iron piece which pivotably supported on a leading end edge portion of a vertical portion of the yoke which serves as a fulcrum, an end portion of the movable iron piece adapted to be attracted to a magnetic pole portion by a main magnetic circuit, the magnetic pole portion is arranged in the other end portion of the iron core. The main magnetic circuit is formed by applying a voltage to a coil wound around a periphery of the iron core and an auxiliary magnetic circuit formed in parallel with the main magnetic circuit, the auxiliary circuit including a permanent magnet is arranged near the one end portion of the iron core and a magnetic resistance portion, in which a magnetic flux of the permanent magnet is magnetically saturated.

  • Patent number: 9136080
    Abstract: The present invention provides an electromagnet device including: an electromagnet block having a spool around which a coil is wound and an iron core inserted in a central hole of the spool; a yoke connected to an end portion of the iron core via a permanent magnet; a movable iron piece pivotably supported on a pivoting shaft center located at an end face edge portion of the yoke, the movable iron piece is adapted to pivot on a basis of magnetization and demagnetization of the electromagnet block, and a protrusion having a linear edge portion which extends in parallel to the pivoting shaft center and the protrusion protrudes from at least either the movable iron piece or the iron core, the protrusion protrudes in a facing direction in which the movable iron piece and the iron core face each other.
