Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、圧電トランスを用いた圧電トランス電源、特に、信頼性が高く、小形、低背化を実現するための圧電トランス電源に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
圧電セラミック矩形板を応用したデバイスとして圧電トランスが知られている。現在、圧電トランスに用いる振動子としてセラミックやニオブ酸リチウム単結晶を用いることが多く、一般的な構造としては、図2や図3の概略図に示すように圧電振動子12の表面あるいは側面にそれぞれ電力を入力、出力できる入力電極13a,13bと出力電極14が形成されている。また、圧電振動子12の上に形成された入力電極13a,13bにリード線31a,31b,32を直接半田付けするか、バネ状の導体41a,41b,42を配することにより、電力を取り出している。
【0003】
一般に圧電トランスは、信頼性が高いだけでなく、小形化、低背化、そして低コスト化の要求が非常に強い。
【0004】
ところで、図2、図3に示したように圧電トランスにリード線等により接続するため、圧電トランスの小形、低背化を図っても実装面積、工数が膨大になるという欠点がある。これに代わるものとして、図4に示したようなセラミック矩形板12から成る圧電トランスを挿入したケース11を、複数の線状導体パターンを有する可撓性絶縁シート15を介して回路基板19上に固定した構造の従来例がある。この従来例は、小形、低背化が可能で組立工数もかからないという利点がある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、圧電トランスと可撓性絶縁シートとの半田付接続点は、可撓性絶縁シートを回路基板に位置固定するための導電パターンによりつながっており、可撓性絶縁シートを回路基板に半田付け固定する際の熱が導電パターンを通じて、圧電トランスと可撓性絶縁シートとの接続点の半田を溶かしてしまい、接続不良を起こすという問題点があった。
【0006】
そこで、本発明の技術的課題は、圧電トランスと可撓性絶縁シートとの接続点の半田不良を防止することができる圧電トランス電源を得ることである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明によれば、複数のランドを形成した回路基板と、前記複数のランドのそれぞれと接続された複数の線状の導体パターンを設けた可撓性絶縁シートと、この可撓性絶縁シートの上に配置され、電力を入力するための少なくとも1組の入力用電極と電力を取り出すための少なくとも1つの出力用電極とを有する圧電トランスと、前記圧電トランスの前記入力用電極及び前記出力用電極を前記複数の線状の導体パターンとそれぞれ電気的に接続すると共に、前記圧電トランスを支持、固定するためのピンおよび前記圧電トランス及び前記可撓性絶縁シートを一体化したものを収納する凹部を持つ絶縁カバーケースとを有し、前記可撓性絶縁シートの導体パターンと離間して前記ピンを設け、前記絶縁カバーケースと前記可撓性絶縁シートと前記回路基板との固定位置としたことを特徴とする圧電トランス電源が得られる。
【0008】
【作用】
可撓性絶縁シートと回路基板との固定位置にピンが設けられ、可撓性絶縁シートの導電パターン上から外れている。これにより、圧電トランスと可撓性絶縁シートとの半田付接続点も、ピンの位置と離間して外れる。そのため、圧電トランスと可撓性絶縁シートの電気的接続不良がなくなる。十分に信頼性を確保でき、部品点数、実装面積を抑えた、小形化、低背化、低コスト化が図れた圧電トランス電源を提供することができる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
発明の実施の形態について、本発明の圧電トランス電源を説明する。
【0010】
本発明の圧電トランス電源では、可撓性絶縁シートの導体パターンがピンと離間して設けていることを特徴とする。
【0011】
以下、具体的に実施例で説明する。
【0012】
【実施例】
図1は本発明の実施例に係る圧電トランス電源の構成の一例を示す斜視図である。図1に示すように圧電トランス(圧電セラミック矩形板から成る圧電振動子)12はその内部に複数の内部導体を有し、これら内部電極と交互にそれぞれ電気的接続を持たせた1組の入力用外部電極を形成し、出力電極17も振動子矩形板12の端面に形成した。ここで圧電トランス圧電セラミック矩形板12の寸法は50mm×6mm×1.5mmであり、PZT系セラミックスを用い、内部電極はAg/Pdを一体焼結し、外部電極はAgを焼き付けにて形成した。次に、圧電トランス12を樹脂の絶縁カバーケース11の凹部に挿入する。ケース11は、振動節点で支持固定するように射出成形により形成した。ここで11a〜dは挿入ピンである。
【0013】
一方、圧電トランス12との接続ランド17a,17b,18と開口部16a〜16dを有する可撓性絶縁シート(FPC)15−1を形成する。圧電トランス12の入力用電極13a,13b、出力用電極14とFPC15−1のランド17a,17b,18を各々一対一に電気的に接続することにより、圧電トランス12の電力を外部の回路基板19と接続し、さらにケースピン11a〜11dをFPC15−1の開口部16a〜16dに挿入し、回路基板19の開口部19a〜19dに挿入固定した。ここで、回路基板19の開口部19a〜19dは圧電トランス12の端面から3mmの位置に形成されている。
【0014】
本発明のFPC15−1を用いた本発明の圧電トランス電源の構造と従来のFPC15を用いた構造とリード線を用いた構造の圧電トランス電源の特性比較を表1に示す。このとき、圧電トランスは、一体積層品(10層)であり、φ2×200mmの冷陰極管を用いた。表1から分かるとおり、本発明の圧電トランス電源は、リード線を用いた構造と比較して、大幅な小形化を実現しつつ、同特性が得られている。同じFPCを用いたものでも、従来例では接触不良が発生して歩留が悪くなっている。表2に本実施例の圧電トランス電源のエージングの結果を示すが、1000時間経過してもほとんど特性が劣化せず、信頼性を確保していることが分かる。

以上説明したように、本発明の圧電トランス電源によれば、圧電トランスと可撓性絶縁シートとの電気的接続不良を起こすことないので、高信頼性で、かつ小形、低背化を大幅に向上出来ることから実用的効果は非常に大きい。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric transformer power source using a piezoelectric transformer, and more particularly to a piezoelectric transformer power source for realizing high reliability, small size, and low profile.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A piezoelectric transformer is known as a device using a piezoelectric ceramic rectangular plate. At present, ceramics and lithium niobate single crystals are often used as vibrators used in piezoelectric transformers. As a general structure, the piezoelectric vibrator 12 has a surface or side surface as shown in the schematic diagrams of FIGS. Input electrodes 13a and 13b and an output electrode 14 that can input and output electric power are formed. Further, the lead wires 31a, 31b, and 32 are directly soldered to the input electrodes 13a and 13b formed on the piezoelectric vibrator 12, or the spring-like conductors 41a, 41b, and 42 are arranged to extract electric power. ing.
[0003]
In general, piezoelectric transformers are not only highly reliable, but also have a strong demand for miniaturization, low profile, and low cost.
[0004]
By the way, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, since the piezoelectric transformer is connected by a lead wire or the like, there is a disadvantage that the mounting area and the man-hour are enormous even if the piezoelectric transformer is reduced in size and height. As an alternative, a case 11 in which a piezoelectric transformer made of a ceramic rectangular plate 12 as shown in FIG. 4 is inserted is placed on a circuit board 19 via a flexible insulating sheet 15 having a plurality of linear conductor patterns. There is a conventional example of a fixed structure. This conventional example is advantageous in that it can be reduced in size and height and does not require assembly steps.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the soldering connection point between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet is connected by a conductive pattern for fixing the position of the flexible insulating sheet to the circuit board, and the flexible insulating sheet is soldered to the circuit board. There is a problem that the heat at the time of fixing melts the solder at the connection point between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet through the conductive pattern, causing a connection failure.
[0006]
Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is to obtain a piezoelectric transformer power source that can prevent a solder failure at a connection point between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, a circuit board on which a plurality of lands are formed, a flexible insulating sheet provided with a plurality of linear conductor patterns connected to each of the plurality of lands, and the flexible insulating sheet A piezoelectric transformer having at least one set of input electrodes for inputting electric power and at least one output electrode for taking out electric power, and the input electrodes and the output electrodes of the piezoelectric transformer Are electrically connected to the plurality of linear conductor patterns, respectively, and a pin for supporting and fixing the piezoelectric transformer and a recess for housing the integrated piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet. An insulating cover case having the pin, the pin being provided apart from the conductive pattern of the flexible insulating sheet, and the insulating cover case, the flexible insulating sheet, and the front Piezoelectric transformer power is obtained which is characterized in that a fixed position of the circuit board.
[0008]
[Action]
A pin is provided at a fixed position between the flexible insulating sheet and the circuit board, and is detached from the conductive pattern of the flexible insulating sheet. Thereby, the soldering connection point between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet is also separated from the position of the pin. This eliminates poor electrical connection between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet. It is possible to provide a piezoelectric transformer power supply that can sufficiently ensure reliability, that has a reduced number of parts and a reduced mounting area, and that can be reduced in size, height, and cost.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
A piezoelectric transformer power source according to the present invention will be described as an embodiment of the invention.
[0010]
The piezoelectric transformer power supply according to the present invention is characterized in that the conductive pattern of the flexible insulating sheet is provided apart from the pin.
[0011]
Hereinafter, specific examples will be described.
[0012]
【Example】
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the configuration of a piezoelectric transformer power source according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a piezoelectric transformer (piezoelectric vibrator comprising a piezoelectric ceramic rectangular plate) 12 has a plurality of internal conductors therein, and a set of inputs each having an electrical connection alternately with these internal electrodes. The external electrode was formed, and the output electrode 17 was also formed on the end face of the transducer rectangular plate 12. Here, the dimensions of the piezoelectric transformer piezoelectric ceramic rectangular plate 12 are 50 mm × 6 mm × 1.5 mm, PZT ceramics are used, the internal electrode is integrally sintered with Ag / Pd, and the external electrode is formed by baking Ag. . Next, the piezoelectric transformer 12 is inserted into the recess of the resin insulating cover case 11. The case 11 was formed by injection molding so as to be supported and fixed at the vibration node. Here, 11a to 11d are insertion pins.
[0013]
On the other hand, a flexible insulating sheet (FPC) 15-1 having connection lands 17a, 17b, 18 to the piezoelectric transformer 12 and openings 16a to 16d is formed. By electrically connecting the input electrodes 13a and 13b, the output electrode 14 of the piezoelectric transformer 12 and the lands 17a, 17b and 18 of the FPC 15-1 one-on-one, the electric power of the piezoelectric transformer 12 is supplied to an external circuit board 19. Further, the case pins 11a to 11d were inserted into the openings 16a to 16d of the FPC 15-1, and inserted and fixed to the openings 19a to 19d of the circuit board 19. Here, the openings 19 a to 19 d of the circuit board 19 are formed at a position 3 mm from the end face of the piezoelectric transformer 12.
[0014]
Table 1 shows a characteristic comparison between the structure of the piezoelectric transformer power source of the present invention using the FPC 15-1 of the present invention, the structure using the conventional FPC 15 and the structure of the piezoelectric transformer power source using the lead wire. At this time, the piezoelectric transformer was an integrally laminated product (10 layers), and a cold cathode tube of φ2 × 200 mm was used. As can be seen from Table 1, the piezoelectric transformer power supply of the present invention achieves the same characteristics while realizing a significant reduction in size as compared with the structure using lead wires. Even in the case of using the same FPC, in the conventional example, contact failure occurs and the yield deteriorates. Table 2 shows the results of aging of the piezoelectric transformer power supply of this example. It can be seen that the characteristics are hardly deteriorated even after 1000 hours and the reliability is ensured.

【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the piezoelectric transformer power source of the present invention, since electrical connection failure between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet does not occur, high reliability is achieved, and the small size and low profile are greatly reduced. Since it can be improved, the practical effect is very large.
