Inchworm Actuator Based On Shape Memory Alloy Composite Diaphragm

View page
US Patent:
8072302, Dec 6, 2011
Filed:
Sep 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/205307
Inventors:
Yuanchang Liang - Seattle WA, US
Minoru Taya - Mercer Island WA, US
Assignee:
University of Washington through its Center for Commercialization - Seattle WA
International Classification:
H01F 7/00
US Classification:
335229, 335220
Abstract:
Linear actuators (also known as inchworm actuators) including a magnetically actuatable member with a plurality of wings or blades made from a shape memory alloy (SMA) are described. The linear actuators include a bar and an actuator assembly, configured to achieve a linear displacement of the actuator assembly relative to the bar. The actuator assembly includes a housing, a magnetic trigger including an electromagnet and a permanent magnet, and the magnetically actuatable SMA member. Significantly, the wings/blades of the magnetically actuatable SMA member are coupled to the housing. Activation of the magnetic trigger causes the magnetically actuatable SMA member to move toward the magnetic trigger. The motion of the magnetically actuatable SMA can be converted to a linear displacement. The magnetically actuatable SMA can be implemented using a SMA exhibiting both ferromagnetic and SMA properties, or by a ferromagnetic mass coupled with a SMA (i. e.

US Patent:
8586176, Nov 19, 2013
Filed:
Nov 3, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/264178
Inventors:
Minoro Taya - Mercer Island WA, US
Yuanchang Liang - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
University of Washington - Seattle WA
International Classification:
F01B 29/10
US Classification:
428222, 428371, 244 46, 244 49
Abstract:
A plurality of reversible active composite materials are disclosed, including composites based on a shape memory alloy member (SMA) and a shape memory polymer member (SMP), as well as composites based on two different SMP members. Each different member (SMA or SMP) will be trained to remember a specific shape at a specific temperature. Where two different SMP members are employed, the members exhibit different glass transition temperatures. Such composite materials can be implemented in many form factors, including two generally planar members, a single generally planar SMP member with SMA fibers distributed throughout the SMP, and a SMA fiber/wire coated with a SMP coating. In particular, the SMA fiber/wire coated with a SMP layer can be used to form helical coils that can be used in paired hinges to achieve reversible bending of a structure into which such paired hinges are incorporated.

US Patent:
20070236314, Oct 11, 2007
Filed:
Sep 8, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/222022
Inventors:
Minoru Taya - Mercer Island WA, US
Victor Cheng - Chandler AZ, US
Harry Sugandi - Oakleigh, AU
Yuanchang Liang - Seattle WA, US
Hsiuhung Chen - Seattle WA, US
Chi-Yuan Wang - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
University of Washington - Seattle WA
International Classification:
H01F 7/08
US Classification:
335220000
Abstract:
Linear actuators (also known as an inchworm actuator) including a magnetically actuatable shape memory alloy (SMA) are described. The linear actuators include a bar and an actuator assembly, configured to achieve a linear displacement of the actuator assembly relative to the bar. A hybrid magnetic trigger including an electromagnet and a permanent magnet is used to selectively attract the magnetically actuatable SMA toward the magnetic trigger. The motion of the magnetically actuatable SMA can be converted to a linear displacement. The magnetically actuatable SMA can be implemented using a SMA exhibiting both ferromagnetic and SMA properties, or by a ferromagnetic mass coupled with an SMA (i.e., a ferromagnetic SMA composite). Linear actuators including bars incorporating a ratchet mechanism, and featureless bars are described. A hydraulic system incorporating actuators including magnetically actuatable SMA membranes is also disclosed.
