Abstract
A ventilation apparatus includes a stator, a vibrator arranged close to the stator, a permanent magnet to generate a magnet flux to form a path of the magnet flux along the stator and the vibrator, a coil wound around the stator or vibrator, and a ventilator coupled to the vibrator and operated by a linear reciprocating motion of the vibrator generated when an electric current is applied to the coil to change the magnet flux of the permanent magnet. Thus, the ventilation apparatus having a simplified ventilation structure increases a ventilation efficiency.
Claims20
A ventilation apparatus comprising:
- a stator;
- a vibrator arranged adjacent to the stator;
- a permanent magnet to generate a magnet flux to form a path of the magnet flux along the stator and the vibrator;
- a coil wound around one of the stator and the vibrator;
- and
- a ventilator coupled to the vibrator and operated by a linear reciprocating motion of the vibrator generated when an electric current is applied to the coil to change the magnet flux of the permanent magnet.
A ventilation apparatus comprising:
- a stator having a base and one or more extensions formed on the base;
- a ventilator having a first end coupled to the stator and a second end as a free end;
- a vibrator formed between the first and second ends of the ventilator and disposed to move with respect to the one or more extensions of the stator;
- a permanent magnet disposed on the stator to generate a magnet flux along the stator and the vibrator;
- and
- a coil wound around one of the one or more extensions of the stator and the vibrator,
- wherein the second end of the ventilator moves when the vibrator moves with respect to the one or more extensions according to a direction of an electric current applied to the coil to change the magnet flux of the permanent magnet.
