The invention discloses a rotatory
inertia piezoelectric
actuator comprising a dual-rhombic series driving mechanism and an actuation method. The
actuator consists of an upper baffle, a lower baffle, a bearing, a rotary output shaft, the dual-rhombic series driving mechanism and piezoelectric stacks, wherein the dual-rhombic series driving mechanism comprises series dual-rhombic rings; the piezoelectric stacks are in
interference fit inside the series dual-rhombic rings; a friction block is arranged at a series joint of the piezoelectric stacks; the rotary output shaft of the
actuator is connected with the upper baffle and the lower baffle through the bearing respectively; and the dual-rhombic series driving mechanism is fixedly assembled between the upper baffle and the lower baffle. After finish of
assembly, a side face of the friction block is in
close contact with the rotary output shaft, and the actuator can drive a load to output bidirectional rotary motion by control of
voltage time sequences and amplitudes of the piezoelectric stacks. The rotatory
inertia piezoelectric actuator has the characteristics of easiness in
assembly, quick response and accurate action.
