(Problems of the prior art) However, in the above conventional example, not only [1] the part of the crystal piece other than the vibrating part of the piezoelectric vibrator vibrates, but the vibration also causes the wire clip 6 to vibrate. Since it leaks to the outside through 6 and 6, unnecessary vibration energy is required and the effective resistance increases, and [2] the piezoelectric vibrator is firmly fixed with wire clips 6 and 6 with high rigidity so as to withstand external shock. Then, the vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator is blocked by the wire clips 6 and 6, and the Q of the piezoelectric vibrator is lowered, so that the rigidity of the wire clips 6 and 6 cannot be increased and the impact resistance can be improved. [3] In the piezoelectric vibrator of this structure, there is a physical limit to miniaturization, and the size of the piezoelectric vibrator required for today's extremely miniaturized electronic devices, etc. It has various drawbacks, such as difficulty in dealing with this.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned conventional example, there is a limit to the reduction of the thickness of the quartz crystal plate by polishing, and at present, the limit of the thickness is about 50 μm. Further, when the thickness of the quartz crystal plate is thin, the conventional piezoelectric vibrators shown in FIGS. 8 to 10 are easily broken during assembly, and even after the assembly, the quartz crystal piece due to external stress is generated. Damage is likely to occur due to warpage and the like, and there is a limit in reducing the thickness of the crystal piece from this point as well. For these reasons, the frequency of the fundamental wave of the piezoelectric vibrator is limited to around 30 MHz, and the higher frequency band is covered by utilizing the third harmonic, the fifth harmonic, and the like. However, the piezoelectric vibrator based on the fundamental wave generally has better characteristics than the piezoelectric vibrator based on harmonics.

(Effects of the Invention) Since the piezoelectric vibrator is configured as described above, [1] vibration of the piezoelectric vibrating portion of the piezoelectric vibrator is blocked by the groove portion on the outer peripheral portion, which makes it difficult for the vibration to be transmitted to the outside, and vice versa. [2] Even if external vibration is transmitted to the piezoelectric vibrator, the vibration is hard to be transmitted to the piezoelectric vibrating portion due to the groove portion on the outer peripheral portion of the piezoelectric vibrator, and [3] The piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention. Because of its structure, it is not necessary to use an elastic material such as a wire clip for holding, and since a material with a high rigidity that can securely fix the piezoelectric vibrator can be used, even if the piezoelectric vibrator is downsized The piezoelectric vibrator does not collide with the case that protects the surroundings of the piezoelectric vibrator,
There is no risk of damaging the piezoelectric vibrator.

Further, according to the present invention, even if the thickness of the piezoelectric vibrating portion is thin (for example, about 50 μm or less), the outer peripheral portion protects the piezoelectric vibrating portion, so that the piezoelectric vibrating portion is less likely to be damaged during assembly, and even if it is after assembly, it is not damaged from the outside. Since the piezoelectric vibrating portion is not warped due to stress and is not easily damaged, a piezoelectric vibrator that can obtain a higher frequency than a conventional piezoelectric vibrator can be easily created.

Furthermore, if the piezoelectric vibrator according to the present invention is covered with a flat plate-shaped cover, it can be made much smaller than the conventional piezoelectric vibrator, and the piezoelectric vibrating portion can be easily sealed. In addition, since the cover has a flat plate shape, there is an effect that the cover can be extremely easily installed on the miniaturized piezoelectric vibrating portion.
