Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of electromechanical actuators with amplified deformation, in particular piezoelectric actuators with amplified deformation.
- amplified deformation piezoelectric actuators is already known in different contexts: sonars, ultrasonic cleaners, ultrasonic machining / welding techniques, so-called HIFU systems (acronym for "High Intensity Focused Ultrasounds" in English terminology). -saxonne), and many applications which require large amplitudes of displacement of the surface which one seeks to use.
- piezoelectric actuators are that of devices exhibiting haptic feedback by ultrasonic lubrication. But when the medium is dissipative such as for example plastic supports or other viscoelastic media, large displacements of the surface are difficult to obtain with simple piezoelectric actuators in their conventional design.
- known piezoelectric actuators make it possible to achieve a haptic feedback based on significant ultrasonic lubrication only on rigid surfaces (that is to say composed of a purely elastic material) and therefore non-dissipative surfaces, in particular metallic surfaces or made of glass which are not in contact with any viscoelastic element of the glue or equivalent type creating energy dissipation.
- the known actuators are in thin layers and can only be used with touch screens having an air space between the surface glass and the display (OLED or LCD for example), and the actuators must be applied directly to the glass to create a standing wave which is not dissipated by the viscoelastic part of the screen.
- the medium to be actuated is more dissipative, such as, for example, viscoelastic materials of the plastic, wood or other type, it is necessary for the haptic effect is easily noticeable by a user, using piezoelectric actuators whose deformation is amplified compared to that which would be obtained by a simple piezoelectric actuator in a thin layer.
- piezoelectric actuators amplified distortion known have several drawbacks that limit their use in some applications, whose screens are excluded.
- a mechanical reference is often necessary. In practice, it is often sought to maximize the deformation of one of the faces of the piezoelectric actuator, which involves embedding its opposite face in a support. Obtaining this installation is not so simple.
- the support must be significantly more rigid and solid than the element to be actuated. For example, to activate a display fitted with a 2 mm thick protective glass, the actuator should be anchored in a metal support at least 1 cm thick. If a large number of actuators is necessary, this implies being able to add a large metallic structure only to perform this mechanical reference function.
- the size of the known amplified deformation actuators is high and is not always compatible with the product in which it is sought to integrate them.
- piezoelectric actuators sold under the brand Thorlabs TM are known, capable of creating deformations of around 10 to 30 ⁇ m and operating in a frequency range from 40 kHz to 120 kHz, but they have dimensions ranging from 10 mm to approximately 30 mm, greater by a factor of about 10 than the dimensions acceptable for use in certain applications, such as for example integration in screens or other thin structures.
- amplified deformation actuators exist such as those based on electroactive polymers for example as described in document US 2013/328447 A1, but they are limited to low frequency vibrations. In no case do they generate ultrasonic vibrations capable of creating haptic feedback by ultrasonic lubrication.
- the main object of the invention is to propose a new type of electromechanical actuator with amplified deformation, in particular of piezoelectric actuator, capable of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of known actuators.
- the invention has the specific aim of proposing an actuator capable of operating without requiring embedding of one of its faces.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an actuator of very small size, namely 2 to 5 mm thick, compatible with use in a large number of new applications which involve amplitudes of displacement of the support surface. More important than those known, namely displacements of one to three micrometers in a range of ultrasonic frequencies going from approximately 20 kHz to 200 kHz.
- Another object of the invention is to propose an actuator which is easy to manufacture and to use and whose cost is greatly reduced compared to that of known actuators, here too making it possible to generalize its use in new applications.
- the present invention consists in coupling a motor element, for example a low-cost monolithic “current” piezoelectric ceramic, to a vibrating plate in bending mode.
- a motor element for example a low-cost monolithic “current” piezoelectric ceramic
- piezoelectric actuators without limiting the scope of the invention, insofar as other types of motor elements (magnetic, electrostatic) could be used.
- the actuator according to the invention then consists of 3 elements: A miniaturized motor element, for example a piezoelectric ceramic of square, circular, or rectangular shape;
- a rigid plate for example made of bronze, steel, zinc etc., vibrated by the miniaturized motor element and inducing an effect of amplification of the movement of the motor element;
- an actuating pad arranged on the rigid plate and in relief with respect to it, this actuating pad being intended to be applied against the surface of a support to be actuated.
- the actuating pad is placed on the plate, either because it is an integral part of it, or because it is attached and fixed to the plate, in particular by gluing.
- the actuating pad is small relative to the plate and is centered relative to the plate.
- These three elements are interconnected securely, for example using a strong adhesive capable of maintaining cohesion between the elements even for movements of ultrasonic frequency which involve high mechanical stresses, for example an epoxy type adhesive bi -component.
- the subject of the invention is therefore an electromechanical actuator with amplified deformation, comprising on the one hand at least one motor element connected to an alternating voltage source so as to produce a deformation of said motor element, and on the other hand a plate configured for amplify the amplitude of the vibration that the motor element must transmit to a support to be actuated, characterized in that a first face of the plate is rigidly fixed to the motor element and in that a second face of the plate opposite the first face is fixed by means of an actuating pad to the support to be actuated.
- said motor element is preferably a piezoelectric actuator, but it could be another type of actuator, such as a magnetic actuator or an electrostatic actuator.
- the plate is configured to generate a maximum flexural deformation at a main resonant frequency between 20 kHz and 200 kHz.
- the plate is configured so that the amplitude of the vibration it generates at the resonant frequency is greater by an amplification factor between 4 and 50 than the amplitude of the vibration generated by the motor element alone.
- the plate has the shape of a disc with a diameter between 9 mm and 12 mm, for example 11 mm, and a thickness between 0.2 mm and 1 mm, for example 0.5 mm , for a no-load working frequency of around 60 kHz.
- the plate has the shape of a parallelepipedic plate of length L of between 9 mm and 11 mm, for example 10 mm, of width B of between 4 mm and 6 mm, for example 5 mm, and with a thickness h of between 1 mm and 2 mm, for example 1.5 mm, for a no-load working frequency of around 70 kHz.
- the plate is rectangular of length L substantially greater than its width B, and it comprises on one of its faces several motor elements, and on its opposite face an actuating pad whose length corresponds to the width B of the plate and whose width b is less than the width B of the plate.
- the plate of length L is closed on itself in the form of a flat ring or a 3D ring. That is to say, its width B is lengthened until it forms a closed ring.
- This ring-shaped plate has spaced apart motor elements located on one of the faces of the ring, and an actuating pad extending on the other face of the ring over its entire circumference and having a width b less than the length L of the plate.
- the amplification factor of the movement of the motor element is a function of the ratio between the width b of the actuating pad and the length L of the plate, which makes it possible to control the amplification factor desired by playing on this report.
- the ratio b / L of the width of the actuating pad over the length of the plate is between 0.1 and 0.45.
- the driving element of the actuator is a piezoelectric ceramic slab of square, rectangular or circular shape, the most large dimensions (length, width, diameter) are between 6 mm and 8 mm, in particular 7 mm, for a working frequency of 64 kHz.
- the actuator is configured so that the amplitude of its deformation in the direction perpendicular to the support at the main resonant frequency is between 10 micrometers and 30 micrometers for the actuator not coupled to a support , and that the amplitude of the deformation transmitted by the actuator to a surface in coupled mode is between 1 and 2.5 micrometers.
- the motor element and the actuator plate are joined together using a strong adhesive with low energy dissipation, in particular an epoxy adhesive.
- the invention also relates to a device comprising a viscoelastic surface to be actuated by a haptic effect, in particular a haptic effect by ultrasonic lubrication, and comprising a plurality of actuators as described above.
- said device comprises a fixing strip fixed perpendicular to said support to be actuated, and one or more actuators which are fixed by means of their actuating pad on said fixing strip.
- said support to be actuated comprises a surface with low ultrasonic vibration conduction power such as plastics or multilayer plates including a viscoelastic core. It can therefore be devices such as OLED or LCD screens to be actuated by a haptic effect, in particular a haptic effect by ultrasonic lubrication.

- FIGS. 11A and 11B respectively represent a perspective and sectional view of a device incorporating an actuator according to FIG. 8.
- FIG. 1 relating to three types of known devices making it possible to amplify the deformation of a piezoelectric actuator.
- non-amplified actuators in which the displacement obtained is directly equal to the deformation of the piezoelectric material under the application of an electric voltage.
- amplified actuators in which a mechanical device amplifies the movement of the piezoelectric material, typically by a factor of 2 to 20.
- piezoelectric actuators Today, multilayer ceramics are traditionally used as driving elements in amplified piezoelectric actuators. The integration of this type of material requires specific precautions, such as the need to ensure mechanical prestressing or to avoid torsional forces. Subject to proper design and use, piezoelectric actuators are extremely reliable and robust.
- FIG. 1 a corresponds to a known example of an amplified piezoelectric actuator 1a, constituted by a set of layers of elementary piezoelectric ceramics 2 stacked.
- the amplification effect is obtained by multiplying the deformation of an elementary ceramic 2 by the number of unitary ceramics present in the device.
- this can be effective from the point of view of the amplitude of the vertical movement generated, shown diagrammatically by a bidirectional arrow, but the stacking implies that the dimensions of this actuator become too large and exclude this device from certain applications requiring small size actuators.
- this device requires a very rigid fixed attachment point 3, which is also quite bulky.
- Figure 1b corresponds to a piezoelectric actuator 1b called flex-tensionional, which takes up the principle of stacking unit ceramics 2 of Figure la, but by tilting and enclosing the stack in a mechanical structure 4 which transforms the deformation of ceramics 2 in a perpendicular deformation, shown schematically by the double vertical arrow.
- this known variant does not solve the problems inherent in the variant of FIG.
- FIG. 2 there is shown an amplified actuator 20 according to a first embodiment of the invention, in exploded perspective view (a), in assembled perspective (b) and in sectional perspective (c).
- This first embodiment consists of a piezoelectric motor element 21 in the upper part, an amplification plate 22 here of circular shape, secured to the motor element 21 which will cause it to vibrate in bending mode, and d 'an actuating stud or stud 23 integral with the plate 22.
- This actuating stud is intended to transmit the movements of the composite assembly constituted by the motor element 21 and the plate 22 to a surface to be actuated (not shown in this figure).
- the actuating pad 23 is located on the face of the plate 22 opposite to that which carries the motor element 21.
- the motor element 21 is preferably but not necessarily an elementary piezoelectric actuator in the form of a ceramic slab. It is represented in square form, but it could be circular or of another shape. In known manner, the ceramic slab 21 has two metal electrodes (not shown) for the application of a supply voltage making it possible to obtain the piezoelectric effect, namely a deformation of the thickness of the ceramic, depending applied electrical voltage.
- the ceramic slab 21 is glued as rigidly as possible on the amplification plate 22, for example using a layer of epoxy adhesive (not shown), in order to avoid as much as possible the energy dissipations at the interface between the ceramic slab 21 and the plate 22.
- the adhesive used is electrically insulating, it is necessary to apply the excitation voltage directly to the electrodes of the piezoelectric slab.
- the plate 22 is metallic, for example brass, steel or zinc, it is possible to apply the excitation voltage between the upper electrode of the piezoelectric panel 21 and plate 22.
- the plate 22 has the shape of a circular disc.
- its thickness can for example be between 0.2 mm and 1 mm, for example 0.5 mm, and its diameter can be included between 9 mm and 12 mm, for example 11 mm, depending in particular on the resonance frequency sought, for example 60 kHz at no load, that is to say before coupling with a surface to be actuated, and also as a function of other parameters such as in particular the density of the material used for the plate.
- the piezoelectric ceramic 21 has a surface having the shape of a square of approximately 7 mm side inscribed in the surface of the plate 22, and approximately 0.5 mm thick, in the case of a target working frequency of around 64 kHz.
- the actuating pad 23 is constituted either by a rigid element, for example made of metal or of glass added and secured to the plate 22 (FIG. 2a), or by an extension of the material of the plate 22 (FIG. 2c). This second solution makes it possible to avoid dissipation of additional energy since there is no adhesive interface between the plate 22 and the actuating pad 23.
- the actuator 20 When the actuator 20 is fixed to a surface to be actuated (not shown in FIG. 2), the deformations of the ceramic slab 21 are transmitted to the plate 22 which amplifies them and transmits them to said surface to be actuated via the stud actuation 23.
- FIG 3a there is shown a second practical embodiment of an actuator 20 according to the invention.
- the drive element 21 and for the plate 22 rectangular parallelepiped structures are used which behave in bending like a beam of rectangular section.
- the actuating pad 23 is small relative to the plate and is centered relative to the plate.
- the plate 22 has a width B, a length L, and a thickness h.
- FIGS. 3b and 3c respectively represent a side view and a perspective view of a particular embodiment of a parallelepiped actuator 20 of width B and of length L, in the bent position corresponding to a particular instant of the actuator in operation.
- the width and the length of the ceramic slab 21 are equal to those of the plate 22 but this is not compulsory.
- the actuating pad 23 has a length B equal to the width of the plate, and a width b less than the length L of the plate.
- FIG. 4 schematically represents the mounting of an amplified actuator 20 according to the invention on one face of a plate 40 to be actuated.
- the actuator 20 is fixed (glued) to the underside 42 of the plate 40 to be actuated by the free face 24 of the actuating pad 23.
- the plate 22 is located between the actuating pad 23 and the ceramic slab 21
- the fixing used to fix the actuating stud 23 on the lower face 42 of the plate 40 to be actuated must be as rigid as possible, using for example an epoxy adhesive.
- the terminals of the piezoelectric panel 21 are then supplied with a signal excitation at an ultrasonic frequency by means of electrodes (not shown).
- the amplitude of the movement of the amplified 20 uncoupled actuator can then be of the order of 1 0 to 30 microns, higher by a factor of 4 to 50 to the amplitude of known piezoelectric actuators.
- the amplitude of the movement induced by the actuator 20 on the surface of the plate 40 to be actuated via the actuating pad 23, is also amplified by a factor 4 to 50 relative to that which would be transmitted by a unamplified actuator conforming to the state of the art.
- the amplified deformation of the plate 40 then has an amplitude of the order of 1 to 2.5 micrometers at the ultrasonic resonant frequency, and is then clearly felt by the finger 41 of a user positioned on the upper face of the plate 40 to be actuated, even if the latter is made of a viscoelastic material such as plastic, wood, or the like.
- FIG. 6 shows the results of a simulation of the amplitude of displacement of an amplified piezoelectric actuator 20 according to the invention, coupled to a plate 40 to be actuated, and operating at an ultrasonic frequency of 71.3 kHz.
- the actuator used is a simple non-amplified piezoelectric panel 21.
- the amplitude of the bending deformation between its edges and the center which corresponds to the deformation belly is approximately equal to 2.10 8 meters, or 0.02 micrometers.
- the actuator used is an amplified actuator 20 according to the invention.
- the amplitude of the bending deformation between the edges and the center which corresponds to the deformation belly is approximately equal to 10 -6 meters, or 1 micrometer.
- the invention therefore made it possible in this scenario to amplify by a factor of 50 an amplitude which is hardly or not perceptible by a human finger (0.02 micrometer) a much more noticeable amplitude of displacement of the surface of the plate of 1 micrometer.
- this amplitude of deformation remains greater than one micrometer as long as the abovementioned b / L ratio remains within a range of values between approximately 0.1 and 0.45.
- the maximum amplitude is even close to 2.5 micrometers when said dimensional ratio is of the order of 0.3.
- FIGS. 8A, 8B in a particularly advantageous embodiment consisting in adding several actuators 21 in FIG. 3 on a single plate 22 whose small dimension B in FIG. 3 is extended in order to become the length L of this new actuator 50, the plate 22 of which is still rectangular in shape but of length L significantly greater than its width B.
- a series of motor elements 21 is fixed, in particular made of ceramic.
- the motor elements 21 are spaced apart by zones without a motor element, which makes it possible to save the surface area of the motor element necessary, a fairly expensive component, without detriment to the result obtained.
- On the opposite face of the plate 22 there is or is arranged an actuating pad 23, as before.
- the actuating pad is in the form of a longitudinal rail running along the length L of the rectangular plate 22.
- the actuating pad or rail 23 is again attached and rigidly fixed on the plate 22, either directly formed by a protuberance from the plate 22.
- FIG. 8c presents the profile of the modal deformation 41 which makes it possible to maximize the vertical displacement of the actuating pad, for the uncoupled actuator 50.
- Figures 9a and 9b show the modal analysis carried out on two systems coupled with an actuator 50 with two different structures 40 to actuate (one in rectangular plate shape in Figure 9a, the other semicircular-shaped plate FIG. 9b), and it is found that the profile of the modal deformation 41 of FIG. 8c is found in each of the two configurations of FIGS. 9a and 9b.
- the resonant mode of the free actuator 50 is preserved for the coupled system, regardless of the geometry of the plate to be actuated.
- FIG. 10 Another embodiment of an actuator 60 according to the invention is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 10. It uses a plate 22 in the form of a flat ring (FIG. 10A), or a plate 22 in the form of a 3D ring (FIG. 10B) .
- the motor elements 21 can be located on one of the faces of the plate 22, and the actuating stud 23 is then located on the opposite face of the plate 22 and extends along the plate.
- An actuator 60 in the form of a 3D ring can in particular be used to actuate a sphere, a cylinder, a lever, etc.
- FIG. 11 which represents an advantageous use of the actuator 50 of FIG. 8, for vibrating a rectangular surface ' which is for example a surface of a plate 40 forming part of a screen on which we want to generate a haptic feedback effect by ultrasonic lubrication.
- the actuator 50 of Figure 8 can be rotated 90 ° and mounted on a mounting strip 43 ( Figure 11B) coupled by a rigid attachment 42 to the surface 40 to be vibrated. This makes it possible to gain compactness, the surface of the actuator 50 no longer being situated in the plane of the surface 40 to be actuated, but in a plane perpendicular to it.
- the invention meets the set goals and makes it possible to obtain large amplitudes of haptic feedback, including on viscoelastic surfaces having a strong attenuation of ultrasound, such as plastics, wood, or touch screens with optical bonding between the glass. and the display.
- the invention makes it possible to create greater ultrasonic displacements than with known piezoelectric actuators, sufficient to obtain the effect of ultrasonic lubrication, namely the modification of the friction of the finger on surfaces excited by a standing wave, even if these surfaces are of dissipative type of vibrational energy.
- the invention also makes it possible to dispense with a massive mechanical reference, which allows greater miniaturization of the amplified actuator.
- the invention therefore makes it possible to use actuators with amplified deformation directly on surfaces with programmed friction by ultrasonic lubrication.
- the new structure is particularly simple and economical to produce, which makes it possible to equip large surfaces, or surfaces which until now could not benefit from a significant haptic feedback effect, for example the rear faces of screens. , with actuators according to the invention.
