Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The technical solutions disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application discloses a vibration module, which can be used for an electronic device to implement a vibration function of the electronic device.

The vibration module that this application embodiment disclosed includes drive assembly 1, driving part 2 and driven subassembly 3. The driving assembly 1 includes a coil 11, a telescopic shaft 12, and a first elastic member 13. The telescopic shaft 12 is connected to a first elastic member 13, and the surface of the telescopic shaft 12 is wound with a coil 11.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the driving assembly 1, one end of the telescopic shaft 12 is fixed to the housing, and the other end is connected to the first elastic member 13. The end of the first elastic element 13 remote from the telescopic shaft 12 is connected to the housing so that the driving assembly 1 is fixed in the housing.

Wherein, the first elastic element 13 may be a spring; the telescoping shaft 12 may be a super magnetostrictive material. When the magnetization state of the giant magnetostrictive material is changed, the length of the giant magnetostrictive material is changed.

The driven assembly 3 includes a vibration shaft 31, a telescopic member 32, and a second elastic member 33. The extensible member 32 and the second elastic member 33 are located on one side of the support, one end of the extensible member 32 is connected with the support, and the other end of the extensible member 32 is connected with the second elastic member 33.

Specifically, one end of the second elastic member 33 is connected to the housing so that the second elastic member 33 can be fixed to the housing. The second elastic member 33 may be a spring, and the spring may have non-magnetic conductive pads at both ends thereof for easy installation. The other end of the second elastic element 33 is connected to the telescopic element 32, specifically, the connection mode may be a fixed connection, or a movable connection, such as abutting connection.

Under the condition that the coil 11 is electrified, the telescopic shaft 12 is axially deformed to drive the first elastic part 13 to vibrate in a first direction, and the vibration shaft 31 is driven to move in a second direction through the transmission part 2; wherein, the axial of telescopic shaft 12 with the contained angle between the axial of vibration axle 31 is greater than zero and is less than 180 degrees, first direction with contained angle between the second direction is greater than zero and is less than 180 degrees.

In this embodiment, the driving module is made of giant magnetostrictive material and is combined with the transmission structure, so that the vibration module can drive the assembly to move in at least two directions only by electrifying the control coil. And a more multidimensional movement effect is obtained through a simple assembly structure and a control mode.

The telescopic member 32 has one end fixed to the bracket and the other end connected to the second elastic member 33, as mentioned above, and the connection mode may be fixed connection or movable connection. The expansion member 32 can be adjusted in height in the vibration direction of the second elastic member 33. As shown in fig. 2, when the height of the extensible member 32 is equal to or less than a certain threshold, the second elastic member 33 abuts against the vibration shaft 31; when the height of the extensible member 32 is greater than a certain threshold value, the extensible member 32 compresses the second elastic member 33 to shorten the length thereof and separates from the vibration shaft 31. In one embodiment provided herein, the telescoping member 32 may be an air cushion. As shown in fig. 1, when the gas in the gas cushion exceeds a certain threshold, the gas cushion expands and compresses the second elastic member 33, so that the second elastic member 33 contracts toward the end connected to the housing, thereby separating from the vibration shaft 31. The vibration shaft is separated from the second elastic member 33 of the 31 by a space so that the vibration shaft does not contact the second elastic member 33 when moving in the second direction. In addition to the air cushion, the bellows 32 may be made of other controllable materials, such as piezoelectric ceramics.

When the telescopic member 32 is at the first height in the second direction, the second elastic member 33 abuts against the vibration shaft 31, and if the vibration shaft 31 moves in the second direction, the vibration shaft 31 drives the second elastic member 33 to vibrate in the second direction; when the extensible member 32 has a second height in the second direction, the second elastic member 33 is disengaged from the vibration shaft 31, and the shape of the second elastic member 33 is maintained during the movement of the vibration shaft 31 in the second direction; the first height is less than the second height.

The vibration shaft 31 runs through the bracket, one end of the vibration shaft 31 connected with the transmission piece 2 is located on one side of the bracket, one end of the vibration shaft 31 far away from the transmission piece 2 is located on the other side of the bracket, and one end of the vibration shaft far away from the transmission piece 2, the telescopic piece 32 and the second elastic piece 33 are located on the same side of the bracket. Wherein the transmission member 2 may be a connecting rod.

In the structure disclosed in the embodiment of the application, by providing the telescopic member 32, the vibration module can control whether to start the vibration in the second direction on the basis of starting the first vibration direction, so as to control the vibration direction of the electronic device. The mode has simple structure and can be independently controlled.

The vibration shaft 31 is connected to the telescopic shaft 12 via the transmission member 2. One end of the transmission piece 2 is connected with the telescopic shaft 12, the other end of the transmission piece is connected with the vibration shaft 31, and when the telescopic shaft 12 moves, the transmission piece 2 drives the vibration shaft 31 to move. The transmission direction of the transmission piece 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 form a preset angle which is larger than 0 and smaller than 180 degrees; an included angle is formed between the transmission direction of the transmission piece 2 and the axial direction of the vibration shaft 31, and the included angle is larger than 0 and smaller than 180 degrees; the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 and the vibration direction of the first elastic element 13 may be the same or have an included angle. In one embodiment of the present application, the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is the same as the vibration direction of the first elastic member 13, and is perpendicular to the axial direction of the vibration shaft 31.

Under the condition that the coil 11 is electrified, the telescopic shaft 12 generates axial deformation to drive the first elastic part 13 to vibrate in a first direction, and the transmission part 2 drives the vibration shaft 31 to move in a second direction; wherein, the axial of telescopic shaft 12 with the contained angle between the axial of vibration axle 31 is greater than zero and is less than 180 degrees, first direction with contained angle between the second direction is greater than zero and is less than 180 degrees.

Specifically, when a current is passed through the coil of the surface of the telescopic shaft 12, a magnetic field exists around the coil. Since the surface of the telescopic shaft 12 is wound by the coil 11 and the relative permeability of the super magnetostrictive material is much greater than that of air, most of the magnetic lines of force are concentrated inside the telescopic shaft 12. Under the action of the magnetic field, the telescopic shaft 12 is deformed in the axial direction according to the magnetostrictive effect.

It should be noted that the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is related to the effect of vibration. When the included angle between the transmission direction of the transmission piece 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is smaller than 45 degrees, if the telescopic shaft 12 generates a first axial deformation, the telescopic shaft 12 drives the vibration shaft 31 to move a first distance along a second direction through the transmission piece 2; when the included angle between the transmission member 2 and the telescopic shaft 12 is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees, if the telescopic shaft 12 generates a second axial deformation, the telescopic shaft 12 drives the vibration shaft 31 to move a second distance along a second direction through the transmission member 2; the first distance is larger than the deformation amount of the first axial deformation, and the second distance is smaller than or equal to the deformation amount of the second axial deformation.

Specifically, when the included angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is smaller than 45 °, the movement distance of the vibration shaft 31 is larger than the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12, that is, the vibration amplitude is amplified; when the included angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is greater than 45 degrees and less than 90 degrees, the movement distance of the vibration shaft 31 is smaller than the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12, that is, the vibration amplitude is reduced. The amount of vibration can be adjusted by changing the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12.

The procedure was demonstrated as follows: referring to fig. 3, the central positions of the joints of the telescopic shaft 12, the vibration shaft 31 and the driving medium 2 are respectively marked as a and B, and in an initial state, the angle between the driving direction of the driving medium 2 and the axis of the telescopic shaft 12 is θ 1 ([ theta ] OAB). When the deformation amount of AC is generated in the telescopic shaft 12, the movement distance of the vibration shaft 31 is BD. At this time, the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axis of the telescopic shaft 12 is θ 2 (& lt OCD).

As shown in fig. 4, the triangles OAB and OCD are placed on an auxiliary circle, with O as the center of the circle and the hypotenuse AB in the triangle as the radius to make a circle, in this figure, AC is the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12, BE ═ AC; DE is the movement distance of the vibration shaft 31. It is only necessary to prove that DE > BE in the case of 0 ° < θ 1< θ 2<45 °, it can BE deduced that the movement distance of the vibration shaft 31 is greater than the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12, that is, the vibration amplitude is amplified, when the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is less than 45 °.

Observing triangle OBD and triangle DBE, one can obtain:

∠OBD＝90°－(θ2－θ1)/2

∠DBE＝90°－(θ2+θ1)/2

under the condition that the included angle between the transmission direction of the transmission piece 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is less than 45 degrees, 0 degrees < theta 1< theta 2<45 degrees, so that 45 degrees < DBE <90 degrees, DE > BE, namely amplified vibration quantity can BE obtained. Similarly, it can BE deduced that DE < BE, i.e., the vibration amount is reduced, when the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is greater than 45 ° and smaller than 90 °.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the coil 11 may employ a flexible FPC coil instead of the conventional enameled wire coil. Traditional enameled wire winding methods need to wind circle by circle, and the installation is comparatively loaded down with trivial details, and the excitation magnetic field that the winding closely influences the coil and produces, and then causes the influence to the vibration of motor. After the flexible FPC coil is grooved in the middle of the flexible circuit board, multilayer winding can be achieved. And the coil can be manufactured in one layer after being folded and bent once, the next layer starts to be wound after the coil passes through the slotted structure, and the number of wound layers can be calculated according to the length of the FPC. And finally, connecting the upper pin and the lower pin of the FPC in a staggered manner, namely realizing the sequential conduction of the coils. The mode can make the magnetic field in the coil more uniform and consistent, and also saves the time for manufacturing the coil.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, only one driven assembly is described, but those skilled in the art may add a driven assembly and a corresponding transmission member as needed. Two driven assemblies may be provided in parallel to the second direction, as shown in fig. 6, and the driven assembly 4 is provided, and the driven assembly 4 includes a vibration shaft 41, a telescopic member 42, and an elastic member 43, as with the driven assembly 3. The vibration amplitude in the second direction is increased, so that more real and stronger vibration sense is brought to the user; alternatively, as shown in fig. 7, the driven assembly 6 is arranged in a third direction, the driven assembly 6 also comprises a vibration shaft 61, a telescopic member 62 and an elastic member 63, and the second transmission member 5 is also arranged for driving the vibration shaft 61 to move, and the third direction is different from the first direction and the second direction. In fig. 7, the third direction is perpendicular to the first and second directions. This kind of design makes the drive assembly of vibration module can drive driven subassembly through the driving medium and move along a plurality of directions, possibly, produces the vibration in a plurality of directions, brings the vibration sense of more dimensions to experience for the user.

Based on the vibration module that this application embodiment provided, this application embodiment still discloses an electronic equipment, including casing and above embodiment the vibration module, the vibration module is located the casing. In a specific working process, the vibration of the vibration module can realize the vibration function of the electronic equipment.

Optionally, the driven assembly 3 and the driving assembly 1 in the vibration module are fixed on the housing and connected with the housing. Specifically, the second elastic member 33 in the driven assembly 3, the first elastic member 13 in the driving assembly 1 and the telescopic shaft 12 are connected to the housing to achieve the effect of fixing the vibration module in the housing, so that when the vibration module vibrates, the electronic device is driven to vibrate.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an electronic reader, a game machine, a wearable device (electronic watch), and the like, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific type of the electronic device.

Based on the vibration module disclosed by the embodiment of the application, the embodiment of the application discloses a control method of the vibration module, which is suitable for the electronic equipment disclosed by the embodiment. As shown in fig. 8, the disclosed vibration control method includes:

s101: the electronic device obtains vibration control information.

In this embodiment of the application, the vibration control information may be obtained by the electronic device from information sent by other electronic devices, or may refer to that a processing element of the electronic device itself obtains from other elements. For example, the electronic device may acquire the vibration control information by acquiring a voice input, a text input, a touch input, and the like of the user from the sensing element.

S102: the coil 11 is energized based on the vibration control information.

The vibration control information includes control information on the telescopic shaft 12, control information on an angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12, and control information on the state of the telescopic member 32.

Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the control information for the telescopic shaft 12 may include controlling the extension, contraction, and holding states of the telescopic shaft 12, and controlling the amount of deformation of the telescopic shaft 12. The deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12 is controlled by controlling the energization of the coil 11, including the change of the energization state and the current.

Controlling the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12 to further control the vibration amount of the first elastic piece 13 in the first direction; and the telescopic shaft 12 drives the vibration shaft 31 to move in the second direction through the transmission member 2, so that the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12 is controlled, and the distance of the movement of the vibration shaft 31 in the second direction can be further controlled. In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device can control the plurality of components to move in different directions only by electrifying the coil 11 according to the vibration control information, so as to achieve the effect of multi-dimensional vibration.

Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present application, the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 can also be controlled. Under the condition that the vibration control information is first control information, controlling an included angle between the transmission direction of the transmission piece 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 to be smaller than 45 degrees, controlling the telescopic shaft 12 to generate first axial deformation, and driving the vibration shaft 31 to move for a first distance along a second direction by the telescopic shaft 12 through the transmission piece 2; under the condition that the control information is second control information, an included angle between the transmission direction of the transmission piece 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is controlled to be larger than or equal to 45 degrees and smaller than 90 degrees, the telescopic shaft 12 is controlled to generate second axial deformation, and the telescopic shaft 12 drives the vibration shaft 31 to move a second distance along the second direction through the transmission piece 2.

Specifically, the joint of the telescopic shaft 12 and the transmission member 2 may be connected by a shaft pin, and similarly, the joint of the vibration shaft 31 and the transmission member 2 may be connected by a shaft pin. When the telescopic shaft 12 is extended or shortened, the transmission member 2 rotates around the pivot pin, thereby changing the included angle between the transmission member 2 and the telescopic shaft 12. This angle is related to the length of the transmission member 2, the length and amount of deformation of the telescopic shaft 12, and the connecting position of the transmission member 2 to the telescopic shaft 12 and the vibration shaft 31. When designing the components, the skilled person can control the included angle between the telescopic shaft 12 and the transmission piece 2 when changing the deformation amount of the telescopic shaft 12 by reasonably designing the shapes and sizes of the components and the connection relationship between the components. When the included angle is greater than 0 ° and less than 45 °, the same amount of deformation of the telescopic shaft 12 can drive the vibration shaft 31 to generate a larger movement amplitude than when the included angle is greater than 45 ° and less than 90 °. In this embodiment, by controlling the amount of deformation of the telescopic shaft 12 so that the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is maintained within a set angle range, it is possible to control the driven assembly to amplify the amount of vibration in the second direction or reduce the amount of vibration in the second direction.

Optionally, in another embodiment of the present application, the control information may comprise control information of the state of the telescoping member 32. When the vibration control information is the third control information, the coil 11 is electrified, and the telescopic member 32 is controlled to be in the first state, so that the second elastic member 33 is abutted against the vibration shaft 31, the vibration shaft 31 moves along the second direction, and the second elastic member 33 is driven to vibrate in the second direction; in the case where the vibration control information is the fourth control information, the coil 11 is energized, and the expansion member 32 is controlled to be in the second state such that the second elastic member 33 is separated from the vibration shaft 31 and the shape of the second elastic member 33 is maintained during the movement of the vibration shaft 31 in the second direction.

Specifically, the control information includes the control coil 11, as well as the state of the control jack 32. The telescoping member 32 is a height adjustable member. When the vibration control information is the third control information, the extensible member 32 is controlled to be in the first state, and at this time, the extensible member 32 is at a low height level, and the second elastic member 33 is still held in contact with the vibration shaft 31. When the vibration shaft 31 moves in the second direction, the second elastic member 33 is driven to vibrate. When the vibration control information is the fourth control information, the extensible member 32 is controlled to be in the second state, and at this time, the extensible member 32 is at a higher height level, and since one end of the extensible member 32 is connected with the second elastic member 33, the second elastic member 33 is compressed, so that the second elastic member 33 is shortened and separated from the vibration shaft 31, and a space is left. The reserved space allows the vibration shaft 31 to always be within the space without contacting the second elastic member 33 when moving in the second direction.

Because the extensible member 32 can be an air cushion, the volume of air in the air cushion can be controlled by adopting a method of inflating and deflating the air cushion, so that the height of the air cushion can be adjusted; alternatively, the telescoping member 32 may be a piezoelectric ceramic that is energized to produce an electrostrictive effect, thereby changing the height of the telescoping member 32. Generally, the operation of changing the height of the telescopic member 32 precedes the operation of energizing the coil 11 to ensure the presence or absence of vibrations in the second direction. In the embodiment of the present application, the telescopic member 32 may be other materials with adjustable height, and the present application is not limited thereto.

The vibration control information may include control information on an angle between the transmission direction of the transmission device 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12, and control information on the state of the telescopic member 32. That is, the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission member 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12 is independent of the state of the telescopic member 32, and can be arbitrarily combined. However, in the normal case, when the telescopic element 32 is in the first state, i.e. when the second elastic element 33 is in abutment with the vibration shaft 31, it is only meaningful to change the angle between the transmission direction of the transmission element 2 and the axial direction of the telescopic shaft 12. The control information of the above two components may be transmitted from the same component or from different components.

When the vibration module is provided with two or more driven assemblies, the vibration control information may include control information of the heights of the two or more telescopic members so as to control the opening or stopping of the vibration in a plurality of directions.

In the present embodiment, by adjusting the height of the telescopic member 32, it is possible to select whether or not to start the vibration in the second direction at the same time as starting the vibration in the first direction. The vibration of multidimension degree brings abundanter tremolo to experience for the user, and the scheme that this application provided also is simple and easy on control structure simultaneously.

It should be noted that, in the vibration control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the execution main body may be an electronic device, or a central processing unit of the electronic device, or a control module in the electronic device for executing the loaded vibration control method.

The scope of embodiments of the present application is not limited to the performance of functions in the order shown or discussed, but may include the performance of functions in a substantially simultaneous manner or in an inverted order depending on the functionality involved, e.g., the methods described may be performed in an order different than that described, and various steps may be added, omitted, or combined. In addition, features described with reference to certain examples may be combined in other examples.
