| Abstract: | An electromechanical latch is described herein. The electromechanical
latch is a dual-actuator latch, wherein a first actuator and a second
actuator are driven with precise timing to move a first latch part
relative to a second latch part, and vice versa. When the
electromechanical latch is in a closed position, the first rotary latch
part is positioned to prevent rotation of the second rotary latch part in
a first direction. To transition the electromechanical latch from the
closed position to an open position, the first actuator drives the first
rotary latch part such that the second rotary latch part is able to
rotate in the first direction. Thereafter, the second actuator drives the
second rotary latch part in the first direction until the
electromechanical latch is in the open position. |
