Definitions

  • the invention relates to piezoelectric vibration exciters e.g. of the kind which may be used to apply bending wave energy to resonant panels to form loudspeakers, and to panel -form loudspeakers employing such exciters.
  • Our International patent application WO97/09842 describes such resonant panel loudspeakers and vibration exciters therefor.
  • Prior art devices include 'Rainbow' piezoelectric actuators as well as more conventional piezoelectric actuators .
  • a vibration exciter comprising a curved piezoelectric device having an attachment portion at which the device is to be attached to a substrate to be vibrated and at least one free portion remote from the attachment portion, and a mass load provided on at least one of the or each free portion.
  • the piezoelectric device may be a ferro-electric device and may be pre-stressed. Mass loading such pre- stressed ferroelectric devices may provide a suprismgly large increase m output, of around an order of magnitude, when the devices are used to drive resonant bending wave panel .
  • the device may be arcuate m shape or may be a generally circular dished device.
  • the invention is a resonant panel - form loudspeaker driven m resonance by a vibration exciter as described above .
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a piezoelectric device according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment
  • Figure 3 shows a third embodiment
  • Figure 4 shows a fourth embodiment
  • a loudspeaker 1 comprises a plate 11 capable of supporting resonant bending wave modes, as set out in O97/09842.
  • a curved, composite piezoelectric device 13 such as described in US 5632841 has an attachment portion 12 centrally located on the piezoelectric device.
  • the attachment portion 12 is mounted on a preferred, off-centre location on the panel 11.
  • the ends 14 of the device are free.
  • a mass 15 is provided along the end of the piezoelectric device to mass-load the piezoelectric vibration exciter to increase the output of the exciter.
  • Fig.2 shows a similar arrangement except that instead of a single mass 15, a pair of masses 19 are provided at each end of the piezoelectric vibration exciter 13.
  • the piezoelectric vibration exciter 21 is genuinely circular, attached to the panel at the centre of the circle, with a single mass 23 provided on the free peripheral rim 25 of the exciter.
  • the mass 23 mass-loads the piezoelectric vibration exciter to increase the output of the exciter.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative arrangement m which the continuous ring 23 of Fig. 3 is replaced by a plurality of discreet masses 27, symmetrically arranged the rim 25 of the piezoelectric device.
  • the invention thus provides a simple way of increasing the output of an exciter.
