Description

Vertical Linear Vibrator

The present invention relates to a vertical linear vibrator, and more particularly, to a vertical linear vibrator which is designed to vibrate mounted on a personal portable terminal, a game machine or a remote control.

In general, one of the essential functions of a communication device is an incoming call function. The most common types of incoming calls are vocalizations such as melodies and bells, and vibrations that cause the device to shake. Especially, the vibration function is mainly used when the melody or bell is transmitted to the outside through the speaker to avoid any damage to others. For this vibration, a small vibrator is driven to transmit the driving force to the case of the device. It is common for the device to vibrate.

In addition, in recent years, as the spread of touch screen mobile phones increases, a vibrator is required to provide a virtual touch feeling to a user beyond a reception function instead of a melody.

Vibration motors currently applied to mobile phones generate rotational force to obtain mechanical vibrations using the unbalanced mass rotating parts. Most vibration motors used at this time supply current using a brush and a commutator.

As such, a vibrator mounted on a mobile phone or a game machine is required to have a long life, a small size, and excellent vibration performance.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

4 is a cross-sectional view of a vertical linear vibrator according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the drawings, the vertical linear vibrator 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a case 110 having a predetermined space therein, a yoke 114 disposed in the internal space of the case 110, A permanent magnet 113 is mounted inside the yoke 114 to form a magnetic circuit unit 116 to create a magnetic field of a predetermined intensity. The magnetic circuit unit 116 crosses the coil 125 disposed adjacent to the magnetic flux generated from the permanent magnet 113 mounted on the yoke 114 through the lower plate 114a and again through the yoke 114. It is configured to flow into the permanent magnet (113).

The coil 125 is disposed between the permanent magnet 113 and the yoke 114 under the magnetic circuit unit 116 to generate an electric field when power is applied. And a power connection unit 115 configured to apply power to the coil 125. Usually, the power connection unit 115 uses a lot of flexible circuit boards. In particular, the power connection unit 115 is disposed in the escape groove 133 formed in the bracket 111 to maximize the movement space of the movement unit 112. The coil 125 and the power connection unit 115 are integrally formed on the bracket 111. A spring member 123 fixed to the upper end of the bracket 111 and fixed to the lower end of the magnetic circuit unit 116 is mounted. do. In addition, the moving part 112 includes a mass body 121 integrally mounted to the magnetic circuit part 116 and vibrates up and down by using the elasticity of the spring member 123 together with the magnetic circuit part 116. The movement part 112 is disposed between the case 110 or the bracket 111 and the movement part 112 to prevent direct contact between the case 110 or the bracket 111 when absorbing up and down and absorb shock. The damping member 120 is disposed.

The operation of the vertical linear vibrator 100 having such a configuration is generated in the magnetic field generated by the magnetic circuit unit 116 and the coil 125 when power applied through the power connection unit 115 is supplied to the coil 125. Due to the interaction between the electric field, the moving part 112 including the permanent magnet 113, the lower plate 114a, the yoke 114, and the mass body 121 connects the spring member 123 to the bracket ( 111) to vibrate up and down.

Conventionally, a moving part including a mass body vibrates up and down by connecting a spring member to a case, but it is necessary to assemble the case and the bracket integrally so that the vibration characteristic can be known and the frequency characteristic is poor. Repair is almost impossible.

On the contrary, by fixing the spring member 123 to the bracket 111 as in the present invention, the vibration characteristics and the frequency characteristics of the product can be inspected without covering the case 110, and the case 110 is removed and the vertical linear vibrator is immediately removed. The height generated by using the case 110 can be reduced and the cost can be reduced by allowing the 100 to be directly mounted on a target product such as a mobile phone or a game machine. In particular, the weight adjusting groove 200 is placed in a part of the exercise part 112 to attach the weight adjusting protrusion 210 as shown in various forms in FIGS. 7 to 7 as necessary in the weight adjusting groove 200. This vertical linear vibrator uses resonance characteristics and the resonance frequency has the following characteristics.

Resonance Frequency = C * Root (M / k): C-Constant, M-Mass, k-Spring Constant

Therefore, it can be seen from the above equation that the resonance frequency changes when the mass changes.

By using this principle, the weight adjustment groove 200 and the weight adjustment protrusion 210 may be appropriately used to adjust the resonance frequency characteristics to drastically reduce the resonance frequency defect caused by raw material variation, welding defect, or assembly deviation.

5 is a cross-sectional view of a vertical linear vibrator of a structure using a plurality of permanent magnets according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the vertical linear vibrator of FIG. 5.

Referring to these drawings, the vertical linear vibrator 100 according to the present exemplary embodiment includes a case 110 having a predetermined space therein, a yoke 114 disposed in an internal space of the case 110, and the yoke ( 114, the first permanent magnet 113a and the second permanent magnet 113b are mounted inside the magnetic circuit unit 116 to create a magnetic field of a predetermined intensity. The magnetic circuit unit 116 crosses the coil 125 disposed adjacent to the magnetic flux generated from the first permanent magnet 113a mounted to the yoke 114 through the lower plate 114a and again to the second permanent magnet. It is configured to flow through the yoke 114 back through the 113b to the first permanent magnet 113a. The magnetic circuit unit 116 configured as described above generates a much larger magnetic force than the magnetic circuit using one permanent magnet 113 to generate a current in the coil 125 disposed between the first permanent magnet 113a and the second permanent magnet 113b. As the vibration force increases, the force increases significantly at the same current. The result is a highly efficient, ultra slim vertical linear vibrator.

In addition, the coil 125 is disposed between the permanent magnet 113 and the yoke 114 under the magnetic circuit unit 116 to generate an electric field when power is applied.

In particular, when the power is turned off, the attachment position of the coil 125 is adjusted to match the center of the winding height of the coil 125 and the center of the thickness of the lower plate 114a of the permanent magnet 113, wherein the coil support 131 To adjust the height. The reason for adjusting the height is to obtain the optimum electromagnetic force. If the coil is directly mounted on the bracket 111 or the power connection unit 115, the permanent magnet has a height that can be lowered to the maximum by the damping member 120, and the coil can not be lowered below that point. The part is low in electromagnetic efficiency. In other words, if you want to configure the product as thin as possible as thin as possible by optimizing the position of the coil 125 to the position of the permanent magnets and by eliminating the winding portion of the unnecessary coil 125 can reduce the resistance and maximize the efficiency.

Then, one side of the spring member 123 is fixed to one side of the lower plate 114a disposed below the second permanent magnet 113b by welding, bonding, or caulking, and another side of the spring member 123 is bracketed. By fixing to the 111, it is possible to inspect the vibration characteristics and frequency characteristics of the product without covering the case 110, and also to remove the case 110, the application of a mobile phone or a game machine such that the vertical vibrator 110 is used directly By allowing direct mounting to the target product, a portion of the instrument portion of the target product functions in place of the case 110, thereby reducing the height generated by using the case 110 and reducing the cost.

In addition, by placing the weight adjusting groove 200 in a part of the movement unit 112, the weight adjusting protrusion 210 such as A to D in FIG. 7 may be attached to the weight adjusting groove 200 as necessary to adjust the resonance frequency.

In addition, the damping member 120 is disposed between the movement part 112 and the case 110 or between the movement part 112 and the bracket 111 in order to reduce noise when the movement part 112 moves up and down.

7 is a structural example of the weight adjustment protrusion 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the weight adjustment protrusion 210 having the desired mass is selected according to the adjustment width of the frequency to be mounted on the weight adjustment groove 200. And the shape of the weight adjustment protrusion 210 is configured to match the shape of the weight adjustment groove (200).
