  • Patent number: 12099290
    Abstract: A blade driving device in which a central axis is defined includes a plurality of blades, two coil groups and a magnet. The blades are arranged around the central axis. The two coil groups are arranged around the central axis, include at least two coils with the central axis direction as a winding axis and are separated in the central axis direction. The magnet is arranged between the two coil groups in such a manner that a magnetized surface faces the two coil groups. The coils and the magnet generate an electromagnetic force along a circumferential direction of a circle centered on the central axis to drive the blades.

  • Publication number: 20220413360
    Abstract: A blade driving device in which a central axis is defined includes a blade, a base, a movable ring, driving mechanism and a plurality of plate springs. The base is formed in an annular shape centered on the central axis. The movable ring is formed in an annular shape centered on the central axis. The driving mechanism drives the blade by rotating the movable ring around the central axis with respect to the base. The plate springs connect the base and the movable ring to rotatably support the movable ring with respect to the base. The plate springs are arranged at equal intervals around the central axis and expand in a radial direction of a circle centered on the central axis and in a central axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20220413361
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a blade driving device in which a central axis is defined includes a plurality of blades and a plurality of groups. The blades are arranged around the central axis. Each of the groups has a magnet and at least two coils and the groups are arranged at intervals along a circumference of a circle centered on the central axis. A winding axis direction of the coil coincides with a normal direction of a facing surface of the magnet facing the coil, magnetic poles formed on the facing surface are reversed at a position corresponding to a center of the coil when viewed from the winding axis direction, and each of the groups generates an electromagnetic force along a circumference direction of the circle to drive the blades.
