DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric electroacoustic transducer having a bimorph structure used as a piezoelectric sounding body or the like.

Bimorph resonators, which are made by bonding a ceramic piezoelectric element and a metal plate, are widely used as piezoelectric sounding bodies for consumer and industrial erectonics applications.

Conventionally, this bimorph oscillator is manufactured by applying, for example, silver paste to both sides of a ceramic piezoelectric element 1 having a thin disk (or square plate) shape, and baking it at 700 to 800 degrees Celsius after drying, as shown in Fig. 1. The electrode 2 is provided, polarized, and then bonded to a metal plate 3 having a larger diameter than the piezoelectric element 1 and approximately the same thickness as the piezoelectric element 1 using an organic adhesive. Then, by applying an AC signal to the lead wires 4 1 and 4 2 drawn out from the electrode 2 and the metal plate 3, respectively, it becomes a sounding body.

On the other hand, recently there has been a growing demand for smaller, lower frequency bimorph sounding bodies. Although it is possible to reduce the frequency of a bimorph sounding body by increasing its diameter, there is a limit to this due to the trend toward miniaturization of peripheral devices. Furthermore, as piezoelectric elements and metal plates become thinner for the purpose of lowering frequencies, conventional bonding methods using adhesives are becoming problematic.

That is, (1) when these thin plates are joined together using conventional adhesive methods, mechanical pressure is applied to the piezoelectric element to join them, which tends to cause scratches, and in extreme cases can cause cracks or cracks in the piezoelectric element. Cracks and chips occurred, leading to a decrease in yield. (2) Because the adhesive does not penetrate sufficiently to the bonding surface between the metal plate and the piezoelectric element, an air layer is created, which deteriorates the acoustic properties of the sounding body.Also, depending on the amount of adhesive, the adhesive may protrude after bonding. The influence of variations in the thickness of the adhesive layer became large, and the acoustic characteristics similarly deteriorated. (3) When bonding, it was necessary to arrange the metal plates of the piezoelectric element concentrically, which also required alignment. In addition, according to the conventional example shown in Fig. 1, it is necessary to draw out the lead wire from the electrode, so if the lead wire is drawn out by a method such as soldering, it may take a long time due to the vibration of the sounding body itself. Accidents such as lead wires breaking may occur due to use.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2a and 2b. In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a disk-shaped ceramic piezoelectric element body, on one surface of which a first main electrode 12 1a is formed approximately in the center, and is partially electrically connected to this main electrode 12 1a . A ring-shaped auxiliary electrode 12 1b is formed around the main electrode 12 1a . Further, on the other surface of the piezoelectric element 11, a second main electrode 1 is provided on the entire surface.
2 Form 2 . The first main electrode 12 1a is preferably formed in the center of the piezoelectric element body 11 with a diameter ratio of about 0.6 to 0.8. These first and second main electrodes 12 1a ,
12 2 is provided by an electroless plating method or a silver paste baking method after vapor deposition. After this, polarization treatment is performed under predetermined conditions, and then the second main electrode 12 2
A metal layer 13 is formed on the side by electroforming to have a thickness substantially equal to that of the piezoelectric element body 11. In this case, the first main electrode 121a side is masked in advance to prevent electroforming liquid from coming into contact with it, and after mounting on a predetermined electroforming jig, the second electrode 121a is plated. For example, by using Ni sulfamate solution, which is generally used for forming thick films as an electroforming solution, it is possible to
It is possible to form a metal layer 13 with a thickness of ~ several hundred μm.

The bimorph piezoelectric vibrator formed by such a method has good adhesion because the piezoelectric element body 11 and the metal layer 13 are not bonded through an adhesive, and the characteristics do not deteriorate even under various environmental conditions. Excellent acoustic characteristics can be obtained. There is also no need to apply unnecessary force to the piezoelectric vibrator, and there is no need to worry about scratches, chips, or cracks.
Furthermore, the thickness of the metal layer produced by electroforming can be kept constant by controlling the temperature, current density, and time of the liquid, and it is also easier to manage during mass production, resulting in less variation in acoustic characteristics and lower yields. You can measure your improvement. Further, since the metal layer is formed on the entire surface of one side of the piezoelectric element, troublesome alignment is not required.

Generally, when casing these sounding bodies, the outer periphery of the sounding body is fixed mechanically or fixed via an elastic body, but in this case, according to the present invention, the metal layer 13 on the back side and the surface side are fixed together. By using a method in which the ring-shaped auxiliary electrode 12 1b is used as each lead terminal and electrically insulated from each other, lead wires can be omitted. Therefore, accidents such as breakage of the lead wire due to long-term use are eliminated, and reliability can be greatly improved. Also, when using an elastic body, by using conductive rubber as the elastic body,
After all, the casing can be done without pulling out the lead wires.
