  • Publication number: 20060175908
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mover for a linear oscillatory actuator to be linearly reciprocated, which is easy to assemble and manufacture and has improved durability. In a mover according to the present invention, permanent magnets and cores which have corresponding shapes are alternately arranged with each other, and this arranged state is fixed by virtue of fastening means. In another mover according to the present invention, plate-shaped cores are stacked one upon another, permanent magnets are inserted into insertion holes defined in the plate-shaped cores, and this inserted state is fixed by virtue of fastening means.

  • Patent number: 6993822
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a core of a motor for washing machines. In the manufacturing method, a pair of core bands are formed by punching the electric steel plate so that both core bands are opposite to each other in orientation and the teeth of one core band alternate with the corresponding teeth of the other core band, the core band is wound to a designated height so as to form a ring-shaped core, and securing parts are welded to the inner cylindrical surface of the ring-shaped core so as to be connected to a washing tub by bolts. The manufacturing method of the present invention is simply accomplished, allows the electrical steel plate to be maximally utilized, and improves a degree of strength of the core.

  • Patent number: 6927525
    Abstract: Disclosed are a unit core and a method manufacturing the same. The unit core is opposite to the neighboring unit core on an electric steel plate in orientation, and its unit yoke has an elongated end extending from a central line connecting a center of a tooth to a center of a core formed by interconnecting a plurality of the unit cores, to be opposite to the elongated end of the unit yoke of the neighboring unit core in orientation. This arrangement of the unit cores on the electric steel plate reduces a size of a scrap remaining after the unit cores are punched from the electric steel plate, thereby reducing the production cost of the unit core.

  • Patent number: 6785933
    Abstract: A suction head of a vacuum cleaner with a power brush to dislodge and remove debris from an object to be cleaned is provided. The suction head includes a head case connected to a cleaner body via a connecting tube and having a suction hold on a lower surface thereof, a power brush positioned in the head externally protruding from the head case through the suction hole allowing contact with an object to be cleaned, a supporting unit fixed in the head case for supporting the power brush to allow rotary and linear movements thereof, a rotary operating unit positioned between the supporting unit and the power brush for rotating the power brush, and a linear operating unit installed between the supporting unit and power brush for moving the power brushing linearly. With such structure, the size of the suction head is reduced and cleaning performance is improved.
