122 DISPOSITIF DE COMMUTATION D'UN CIRCUIT ELECTRIQUE UTILISANT UN AIMANT TORIQUE MOBILE. EP06763489.9 2006-06-02 EP1889275B1 2012-08-01 BENNI, Dominique; CHIESI, Laurent; GRAPPE, Benoît; LAMIEN, Mathias
The invention relates to an electric circuit switching device (1) comprising a translationally movable actuating button (3), which acts by magnetic effect on a switch (2) provided with an element movable between two positions for switching the electrical circuit. A movable permanent magnet (5) forming a magnetic field (M) is translationally connectable to the actuating button (3). In the rest position of the actuating button (3), the magnetic field (M) forces the movable element to take the other of the two positions thereof. The permanent magnet (5) is characterised in that it is shaped in the form of a torus. The inventive switching device (1) can be used, in particular, in a form of a push button or a position switch.

The invention relates to microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and more particularly, to MEMS switches using magnetic actuation. The MEMS switch may be actuated with no internal power consumption. The switch is formed in an integrated solid state MEMS technology. The MEMS switch is micron and/or nanoscale, very reliable and accurate. The MEMS switch can be designed into various architectures, e.g., a cantilever architecture and torsion architecture. The torsion architecture is more efficient than a cantilever architecture.

A latching relay employing a movable cantilever with a first permanent magnet and a nearby second magnet is disclosed. The permanent magnet affixed to the cantilever is permanently magnetized along its long (horizontal) axis. The cantilever has a first end associated to the first pole (e g, north pole) of the first magnet, and a second end associated to the second pole (e g, south pole) of the first magnet. When the first end of the cantilever approaches the second magnet, the first pole of the first magnet induces a local opposite pole (e g, south pole) in the second magnet and causes the first end of the cantilever to be attracted to the local opposite pole of the second magnet, closing an electrical conduction path (closed state). An open state on the first end of cantilever (10) can be maintained either by the second pole of first magnet being attracted to a local opposite pole in the second magnet or by a mechanical restoring force of flexure spring which supports the cantilever. A third electromagnet (e g, a coil or solenoid), when energized, provides a third perpendicular magnetic field about the first magnet and produces a torque on the associated cantilever to force the cantilever to switch between closed and open states. A few alternate embodiments of the relay are also disclosed which include a case where the latching feature is disabled, and another case where an external magnet is used to switch the cantilever.
