Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent any crack or breakdown due to stress concentration from happening by a method wherein an electrode near ends subject to the maximum displacement is eliminated in a piezoelectric displacement element composed of two sheets of ring type piezoelectric element supporting the central part as cantilevers. CONSTITUTION:Two sheets of piezoelectric elements 6, 7 are bonded together subject to common direction of polarization to constitute a parallel type bimorph 8. An electrode 9 with the inside diameter of d/3-d compared with that (d) of the piezoelectric element is formed on the piezoelectric elements 6, 7. Two heads are fixed on the part near the ends 12, 13 of the piezoelectric element 6 while an intermediate electrode is divided at the intermediate point 14. The bimoprh 8 is supported by supporters 15 at the intermediate point 14 to form two cantilevers. Through these procedures, any crack or breakdown due to stress concentration or any fluctuation of displacement characteristics may be prevented from happening compared with those in case of overall electrode since there is no electrode at all near the ends of the cantilevers.

(Conventional structure and its problems) Among the piezoelectric displacement elements that have been put to practical use, two ring-shaped piezoelectric elements each having a full-surface electrode are glued together so that their polarization directions are the same, and the central part is There is a piezoelectric displacement element that supports a cantilever beam and generates υ deflection displacement by applying a voltage. However, in order to connect the middle electrode and the lead wire, the inner diameter of the lower ring-shaped piezoelectric element is made smaller than the inner diameter of the upper ring-shaped piezoelectric element. Furthermore, in order to independently control the heads attached to the two ends of the cantilever beam, the middle electrode is divided at the central support part. When a voltage is applied to the conventional piezoelectric displacement element, since it is ring-shaped, stress concentration occurs at the tip, which causes cracking, cracking, or rupture, or impairs displacement characteristics.

(Objective of the Invention) The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to eliminate the drawbacks of cantilever beams, such as cracks, ruptures, and displacement characteristics caused by stress concentration occurring at the tip. (Structure of the Invention) The present invention consists of bonding two ring-shaped piezoelectric elements so that their polarization directions are the same, and supporting the central part to form a cantilever beam.
In a piezoelectric displacement element that causes deflection displacement due to applied voltage, it is configured so that the electrode near the tip where the displacement is maximum is removed so that it does not become a full-surface electrode, and the inner diameter of the ring-shaped piezoelectric element of the drive part is set as d. When the electrode length e is l-d~d
That is. In this way, there is no electrode at the tip, so there is no distortion even when a voltage is applied, and stress concentration does not occur.Therefore, there is no crack or breakage at the tip, and the displacement characteristics are not disturbed, unlike in the conventional case.
