2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional vibration wave driving device such as a vibration wave motor, a type that generates bending vibration in a ring and drives a moving body by frictional force has been put to practical use in a camera AF mechanism and the like. However, because of the ring shape, the cost of the unit including the pressurizing mechanism is surprisingly high, and it is disadvantageous in cost for a motor application that does not require a hollow. Therefore, a rod-shaped vibration wave motor shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has been proposed as a solid type motor having a simple structure such as a pressurizing system.

However, the conventional rod-shaped vibration wave motor has the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4
In the state in which the piezoelectric element was sandwiched and fixed between the vibrating body 1 and the pressing body 2 by the bolt 6, as shown in FIG. 10, there was a difference in the amount of axial distortion of the piezoelectric element.

This is because when the piezoelectric element plate is sandwiched, the vibrating body 1 and the pressing body 2 are elastically deformed, and stress is concentrated on the inner peripheral side near the screw portion of the bolt 6, particularly on the inner peripheral side of the vibrating body 1. to cause.

For this reason, when clamping the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4 by tightening the bolts 6, the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4 made of piezoelectric ceramics are easily broken, and the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4 and the vibrating body 1 and the pressing body 2 are separated. Since there is no uniform contact, there is a problem that the vibration characteristics are apt to vary, leading to a reduction in motor efficiency.

That is, when the bending mode vibration is generated with respect to the vibrator A, the vibrator A is subjected to a distortion curved in the Z-axis direction in FIG. In this case, if the clamping pressure on the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4 is increased, the amount of distortion of the piezoelectric element plate due to expansion and contraction increases, and if the amount of distortion increases, the driving force also increases. Therefore, the greater the amount of distortion on the outer diameter side far from the axis center, the greater the driving force. In this case, if the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4 are sandwiched with uniform pressure from the inner diameter side to the outer diameter side, a large strain is generated.
As shown in FIG. 10, since the distortion on the outer diameter side is much smaller than the distortion on the inner diameter side in the related art, as shown in FIG. 4 cannot follow the distortion on the outer diameter side, a gap is generated between the piezoelectric element plates 3 and 4, and a separation phenomenon occurs in which the piezoelectric elements are separated, and the gap causes the piezoelectric element plate 3 and the piezoelectric element plate 4 to separate. It becomes easy to break due to repetition of mechanical impact, and the generation of this gap makes it impossible to transmit a large vibration torque to the vibrating body.

In the present invention, a hollow electromechanical energy conversion element is sandwiched between a hollow vibrating body and a hollow pressing body, and the hollow electromechanical energy converting element is inserted into the hollow portions of the vibrating body, the pressing body, and the electromechanical energy converting element. A vibration wave driving device in which the vibrating body and the pressing body are connected by the connecting member, or one of the vibrating body and the pressing body is made hollow and a connecting portion is integrally formed with the other, and the vibrating body and the pressing body are combined. A vibration wave driving device in which a hollow electro-mechanical energy conversion element is interposed therebetween and a vibrating body or a pressing body and a vibrating body and a pressing body are connected to each other by a connecting portion inserted into a hollow portion of the electro-mechanical energy converting element. The vibrating body is excited by the electromechanical energy conversion element to generate bending mode vibrations that cause the vibrating body to bend in the first and second directions. In a circular or elliptical motion, the inner diameter surface of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element contacts the inner diameter surface of the vibrating body at the contact position with the electro-mechanical energy conversion element, and the pressing member contacts the electro-mechanical energy conversion element. A gap is provided so that the region of the inner diameter surface at the position is not joined to the coupling member or the coupling portion. For this reason, the clamping pressure on the outer peripheral side of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element can be increased without increasing the coupling force by the coupling member or the coupling portion.

Here, when the vibrating body is bent and vibrated, it is more vibrant to use the bending generation force due to the expansion and contraction displacement on the outer diameter side than to use the bending generation force due to the expansion and contraction displacement on the inner diameter side of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element. The bending vibration of the body increases, which is effective for increasing the driving torque (driving speed).

According to the present invention, the clamping pressure on the outer peripheral side of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element can be increased without increasing the coupling force by the coupling member or the coupling portion as described above. The bending force generated by the expansion and contraction displacement on the outer diameter side can be used efficiently while preventing the conversion element from cracking. In addition, it is possible to suppress the separation phenomenon between the electromechanical energy conversion element and the vibrating body or the pressing body at the time of vibration on the outer diameter side peculiar to bending vibration. Therefore, the present invention is extremely effective for increasing the driving torque (driving speed).

Further, when the coupling member or the coupling portion is joined to any one of the inner diameter surfaces and joined, a variation in a joining state in a circumferential direction causes a change in dynamic rigidity at the time of flexural vibration due to a direction, and the second The natural frequency of the bending mode in the first direction deviates from the natural frequency of the bending mode in the second direction, the resonance frequency in both bending modes also deviates, and a difference occurs in the bending amplitude in both bending modes. Each direction of the bending mode vibration in the first direction and the bending mode vibration in the second direction deviates in the circumferential direction from the bending direction of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element. Further, due to the relationship between the small clamping pressure on the outer diameter side of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element and the variation in the bonding state in the circumferential direction, the vibration in the bending mode in the first direction and the bending in the second direction The above separation phenomenon occurs only on one side during the vibration in the mode, which causes a shift in the resonance frequency in both bending modes, and the difference in bending amplitude increases accordingly, so that circular or elliptical motion may not be obtained. There is.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, by providing the gap, the problem of variation in the joining state in the circumferential direction itself is eliminated, and the natural frequency of the bending mode in the first direction and the bending mode in the second direction are reduced. The natural frequency can be matched, and the respective directions of the bending mode vibration in the first direction and the bending mode vibration in the second direction can be substantially matched with the bending direction of the electro-mechanical energy conversion element. That is, it is possible to prevent the vibration characteristics of the bending mode vibration in the first direction and the bending mode vibration in the second direction from deteriorating. Also,
The separation phenomenon during the vibration in the one bending mode can also be prevented. For this reason, as a result, it is possible to cause the vibrator to perform a circular or elliptical motion with a large torque (speed) around the axis.
