Description

Vibration motor and electronic apparatus
Technical Field
The embodiment of the application relates to the field of electromechanics, in particular to a vibration motor and electronic equipment.
Background
An LRA (linear resonant actuator) is a vibration device that generates an oscillating force on a single axis, and one of applications thereof is, for example, a vibration motor used in a smartphone, and is configured by a housing, a stator, a mover, and an elastic body that supports the mover and the housing.
In the case of using a plate spring as an elastic body, a case and a mover of the vibration motor are connected by welding; in the case of using a coil spring as an elastic body, the coupling of the case of the vibration motor and the mover needs to be accomplished by bonding and fixing the end of the coil spring.
It should be noted that the above background description is only for the convenience of clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present application and for the understanding of those skilled in the art. Such solutions are not considered to be known to the person skilled in the art merely because they have been set forth in the background section of the present application.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
The inventors have found that, conventionally, the case and the mover, which are the bonding surfaces, can be bonded to each other by forming a protrusion so that the protrusion is inserted into the coil spring. However, when the coil spring is adhesively fixed to the projection, the contact area between the inner diameter of the coil spring and the projection is relatively small, and the adhesive strength is low. Further, although the coil spring is not peeled off at the bonded portion when it is used under compression, the bonded portion is pulled when it is used under tension, and the adhesive strength is insufficient, which may cause peeling. In addition, when the coil spring is used in a compressed state, the coil spring is operated in a compressed state during assembly, so that the assembly performance is poor and the yield is low; although the yield can be improved by assembling the coil spring in a free length, the coil spring needs to be used in tension, and therefore, the fixing strength of the coil spring in tension needs to be considered.
In order to solve at least one of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a vibration motor and an electronic apparatus.
According to an aspect of an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a vibration motor including a stator, a mover, a case accommodating the stator and the mover, and a coil spring supporting the mover and the case within the case,

a portion of at least one of the housing and the mover, which is in contact with the coil spring, is hook-shaped;
the hook shape of the coil spring is hooked with the hook shape of the housing and/or the mover, and the mover and the housing are supported.
In some embodiments, one end of the coil spring is convex and the other end is hook-shaped; the part of the shell, which is contacted with the spiral spring, is in a hook shape; the part of the rotor, which is in contact with the spiral spring, is concave; the convex shape of the coil spring is embedded into the concave shape of the mover, and the hook shape of the coil spring is hooked on the hook shape of the housing, so that the mover and the housing are supported.
In some embodiments, the convex shape and the hook shape of the coil spring are the same shape, and both are formed by bending the tip of the coil spring.
In some embodiments, the concave shape of the mover is formed such that a surface of the mover, which is in contact with the coil spring, is recessed in a direction away from the coil spring.
In some embodiments, the hook shape of the housing is formed by recessing one end of a side wall of the housing, which is in contact with the coil spring, toward the other end.
In some embodiments, the coil springs are four in number, the mover has a main body portion and weight portions extending from both ends of the main body portion in directions away from the main body portion, respectively, and the weight portions are located between the two coil springs in a direction crossing the vibration direction.
In some embodiments, the case has a guide portion formed by bending at least a portion of an edge of the case parallel to the vibration direction in a direction to approach the mover.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the vibration motor of the embodiment of the present application includes a stator 10, a mover 20, a case 30 accommodating the stator 10 and the mover 20, and a coil spring 40 supporting the mover 20 and the case 30 within the case 30. In the present embodiment, the case 30 is configured by the first case 31 and the second case 32, but the present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the case 30 may be configured in another manner.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, at least one end of the coil spring 40 has a convex shape 41, a portion of at least one of the case 30 and the mover 20 contacting the coil spring 40 has a concave shape 21, and the convex shape 41 of the coil spring 40 is embedded in the concave shape 21 of the case 30 and/or the mover 20 to support the mover 20 and the case 30.
Therefore, the coil spring supports the rotor and the shell in a convex embedding concave mode, and the end part of the coil spring, the shell and the rotor are not supported in a bonding and fixing mode any more, so that the coil spring can be assembled in a free state, the phenomenon that the coil spring is stripped in a stretching or compressing state is avoided, the assembling performance is improved, and the yield is further improved.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, at least one end of the coil spring 40 is hook-shaped 42; a portion of at least one of the case 30 and the mover 20 contacting the coil spring 40 is a hook 33; the hook 42 of the coil spring 40 is hooked to the hook 33 of the case 30 and/or the mover 20, thereby supporting the mover 20 and the case 20.
Therefore, the coil spring supports the rotor and the shell in a hook-shaped mutual hooking mode, and the end part of the coil spring, the shell and the rotor are not supported in a bonding and fixing mode any more, so that the coil spring can be assembled in a free state, the phenomenon that the coil spring is stripped in a stretching or compressing state is avoided, the assembling performance is improved, and the yield is further improved.
In the embodiment of the present application, the case where one end of the coil spring 40 is a convex shape 41 and the other end is a hook shape 42 will be described. As shown in fig. 1 to 4, a portion of the housing 30 that contacts the coil spring 40 is a hook shape 33; a portion of the mover 20 contacting the coil spring 40 is a concave 21; the coil spring 40 has a convex shape 41 fitted into the concave shape 21 of the mover 20, and a hook shape 42 of the coil spring 40 is hooked on the hook shape 33 of the case 30, thereby supporting the mover 20 and the case 30.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the convex shape 41 and the hook shape 42 of the coil spring 40 are the same shape, and are formed by bending the end of the coil spring 40. Thus, since it is not necessary to distinguish between both ends of the coil spring 40, manufacturing and assembling are facilitated.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the concave shape 21 of the mover 20 is formed such that a surface of the mover 20 contacting the coil spring 40 is recessed in a direction away from the coil spring 40. Thus, the concave shape 21 is formed by performing the recess processing on the mover 20, and the manufacturing is simple. Fig. 3 and 4 illustrate the concave 21 as a rectangular parallelepiped, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the concave 21 may be formed in other shapes depending on the configuration of the end portion of the coil spring 40.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 4, the hook shape 33 of the housing 30 is formed by recessing one end of the side wall of the housing 30, which is in contact with the coil spring 40, toward the other end. Thus, the recessed structure forms the hook 33, which facilitates hooking of the hook 42 at the end of the coil spring 40, and facilitates manufacture and assembly.
