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5や図6の概略図に示すように圧電振動子(セラミック矩形板)11の表面あるいは側面にそれぞれ電力を入力、出力できる入力用外部電極12a,12bと出力電極13が形成されて、かつ電力の取り出しは、前記振動子上に形成された電極にリード線41a,41b,42を直接半田付けするか、入力用板バネ(バネ状の導体)51a,51b,52で取り出す方法が一般的であった。
【0003】
一般に圧電トランスは、信頼性が高く、小形化、低背化、低コスト化の要求が非常に強いが、従来の圧電トランスの構成では、これらの要求を十分に満足できなかったという欠点があった。
【0004】
すなわち、図5、図6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、工数が膨大となった。これに代わるものとして、図7に示したような圧電トランスを複数の線状のパターン導体23a〜23dを有する可撓性絶縁シートを介して回路基板上に固定した構造がある。この構造は、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電気的接続点22a〜22dは、圧電トランスの側面で行われており、可撓性絶縁シートの導電パターンは素子の外側に形成されている。そのため、さらなる小形化の要求を満足することができないという問題点があった。
【0006】
そこで、本発明の技術的課題は、小形化の要求を満足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、複数の線状のパターン導体を一面に設けた可撓性絶縁シートを介して回路基板上に配された、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を備え、前記入力用電極及び前記出力用電極が、前記複数の線状パターン導体で各々電気的に接続され、前記圧電トランス前記可撓性絶縁シート、及び前記回路基板を一体化かつ固定するように覆うための絶縁カバーをさらに備え、前記可撓性絶縁シートの一面は、圧電トランスの外形寸法よりも小さく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】
電力の取り出しをするのに、線状のパターン導体を有する可撓性絶縁シートを用いている。可撓性絶縁シートの一面は、圧電トランスの外形寸法よりも小さいので、厚み側面ではなく、一面からのみ電力が取り出せる。これにより、信頼性が高く、小形、低背化が実現される。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態による圧電トランス電源では、可撓性絶縁シートと圧電トランスの電気的接続を圧電トランス形状内に配置されており、回路基板のスルーホールを介して回路基板との電気的接続がなされる。これにより、圧電トランスの幅とほぼ等しい回路基板が使用される。この結果、十分に信頼性を確保し、低背化、低コスト化が図れた圧電トランス電源を供給することができる。
【0010】
以下に実施例を挙げることにより、本発明の圧電トランスの実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら詳細に説明する。
【0011】
【実施例】
図1および図2は本発明の実施例に係る圧電トランスの一実施例を示す上面図と底面図である。図3は本発明の実施例に用いた圧電トランスの概略図である。図1に示すように圧電トランスは圧電振動子すなわちセラミック矩形板11の内部に複数の入力用内部電極15a,15b(図4)を有し、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12a,12bを形成し、出力用外部電極13,14a,14bもセラミック矩形板11の端面に形成した。ここで圧電トランスの外形すなわちセラミック矩形板11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。
【0012】
次に、圧電トランスとの接続用ランド22a〜dを有する可撓性絶縁シート(FPC)21を形成する。圧電トランスの入力用外部電極12a,12b、出力用外部電極13,14a,14bに対して、FPC21でのランド22a,22b,22c,22dを各々一対一に電気的に接続する。FPC21のランド22a,22c,22dはスルーホール34a〜34dを介して、回路基板31の裏側のランド33a〜33dと電気的に接続されている。さらに、圧電トランスの振動の節点周辺を、絶縁性の収縮チューブ35a,35bを用いて、圧電トランスと絶縁性可撓性シート(FPC)21と回路基板を一体化した。FPC21を用いた本発明の実施例と、従来のFPC21を用いた構造の従来例と、リード線を用いた構造の比較例と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、図4に示したような一体積層品(10層)であり、φ2×200mmの冷陰極管を用いた。表1、から解るとおり、本発明の実施例の圧電トランス電源は同じFPCを用いた従来例やリード線を用いた比較例と比較して、大幅な小形化を実現しつつ、同特性が得られている。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a piezoelectric transformer power source using a piezoelectric transformer.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A piezoelectric transformer is known as a device using a piezoelectric ceramic rectangular plate. Currently, ceramics and lithium niobate single crystals are often used as vibrators used in piezoelectric transformers. As a general structure, a piezoelectric vibrator (ceramic rectangular plate) 11 is used as shown in the schematic diagrams of FIGS. The external electrodes 12a, 12b for input and the output electrode 13 capable of inputting and outputting electric power are respectively formed on the surface or the side of the electrode, and the lead wires 41a, 41b, Generally, 42 is soldered or taken out by input leaf springs (spring-like conductors) 51a, 51b, 52.
[0003]
In general, piezoelectric transformers are highly reliable, and demands for miniaturization, low profile, and low cost are very strong. However, conventional piezoelectric transformer configurations have the drawback that these requirements cannot be fully satisfied. It was.
[0004]
That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, since the piezoelectric transformer is connected by a lead wire or the like, the mounting area and man-hours are enormous even if the piezoelectric transformer is reduced in size and height. As an alternative, there is a structure in which a piezoelectric transformer as shown in FIG. 7 is fixed on a circuit board via a flexible insulating sheet having a plurality of linear pattern conductors 23a to 23d. This structure is advantageous in that it is small and low in profile and does not require assembling steps.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the electrical connection points 22a to 22d between the piezoelectric transformer and the flexible insulating sheet are formed on the side surfaces of the piezoelectric transformer, and the conductive pattern of the flexible insulating sheet is formed outside the element. For this reason, there has been a problem that the demand for further miniaturization cannot be satisfied.
[0006]
Therefore, a technical problem of the present invention is to obtain a piezoelectric transformer power supply that can satisfy the demand for miniaturization.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, at least one set of input electrodes for power input and power disposed on a circuit board via a flexible insulating sheet provided with a plurality of linear pattern conductors on one surface.

[0008]
[Action]
In order to extract electric power, a flexible insulating sheet having a linear pattern conductor is used. Since one surface of the flexible insulating sheet is smaller than the outer dimensions of the piezoelectric transformer, electric power can be taken out only from one surface, not the thickness side surface. Thereby, reliability is high, and a small size and a low profile are realized.
[0009]
