Abstract

We propose a novel contact-free transportation system in which an axial electrodynamic wheel is applied as an actuator. When the electrodynamic wheel is partially overlapped by a fixed conductive plate and rotates over it, three-axis magnetic forces are generated on the wheel. Among these forces, those in the gravitational direction and the lateral direction are inherently stable. Therefore, only the force in the longitudinal direction needs to be controlled to guarantee spatial stability of the wheel. The electrodynamic wheel consists of permanent magnets that are repeated and polarized periodically along the circumferential direction. The basic geometric configuration and the pole number of the wheel influence the stability margin of a transportation system, which would include several wheels. The overlap region between the wheel and the conductive plate is a dominant factor affecting the stiffness in the lateral direction. Therefore, sensitivity analysis for the major parameters of the wheel mechanism was performed using a finite element tool. The system was manufactured based on the obtained design values, and the passive stability of a moving object with the wheels was verified experimentally.

도전성 평판에 부분적으로 걸쳐 회전하는 축형 동전기 휠을 구동원으로 이용하는 비접촉 반송 시스템을 제안한다. 회전하는 동전기 휠에는 3축력이 발생되는데 이 중 중력방향 힘과 횡방향 힘은 자기안정성을 갖고 있으므로 공간상에서 반송 시스템의 동적 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 길이 방향 힘만을 제어하는 것으로 충분하다. 동전기 휠은 원주 방향을 따라 주기적으로 반복되는 극성을 갖는 영구자석으로 구성되어있으므로 기본 극의 기하학적 형상이나 극수 등은 안정성 여유에 큰 영향을 미친다. 또한 휠과 전도판간의 중첩된 영역 역시 횡방향으로의 강성을 결정하는 주요 인자이므로 본 논문에서는 안정성을 성능 지표로 휠을 구성하는 주요 설계 변수에 대한 민감도 해석을 수행한다. 얻어진 설계 값을 이용하여 제작된 시스템으로 휠을 포함하는 이동 개체의 수동적인 안정성을 실험적으로 검증한다.
