Definitions
- Piezoelectric vibrator method for manufacturing the same, and device equipped with the piezoelectric vibrator
- the present invention provides a piezoelectric vibrator that includes a base material and a piezoelectric element attached to the base, vibrates the piezoelectric element near resonance points of a plurality of vibration modes, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method using the piezoelectric vibrator.
- Equipment
- piezoelectric vibrator As a so-called piezoelectric vibrator that vibrates due to the displacement of a piezoelectric element, there is a so-called piezoelectric vibrator in which a piezoelectric element is attached to both sides of a flat base material (a reinforcing plate) to constitute a piezoelectric vibrator, and operates as a piezoelectric actuator (for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2000-330340. In this piezoelectric actuator, when an alternating current is applied to the piezoelectric element, the entire piezoelectric actuator vibrates together with the base material to drive the driven body.
- the piezoelectric actuator can drive the driven body with high efficiency.
- the base material is vibrated by the vibration of the piezoelectric element. Therefore, the adhesion state between the piezoelectric element and the base material is very important to obtain good vibration.
- the vibration of the piezoelectric element is not transmitted well to the base material, and the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator is attenuated. Also, if there is a variation in the thickness of the adhesive layer or the material of the adhesive, the vibration damping characteristics will be different, so that the vibration characteristics will vary among a plurality of piezoelectric actuators. Thus, it is difficult to manufacture a stable and high quality piezoelectric actuator due to the variation in the quality of the adhesive layer.
- a piezoelectric actuator configured so that the resonance points of a plurality of vibration modes are close to each other by appropriately setting the shape and dimensions, these vibration modes are combined. Accordingly, various vibration orbits such as a circular orbit and an elliptical orbit are set.
- Such a piezoelectric actuator can drive the driven body most efficiently by vibrating the piezoelectric actuator near the resonance frequencies of a plurality of vibration modes.
- the quality of the adhesive layer varies as described above, the resonance frequencies of a plurality of vibration modes vary, and the amplitude ratio of each vibration mode of the piezoelectric actuator at the driving frequency differs. The characteristics change.
- a first object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric vibrator capable of reducing vibration loss, a method of manufacturing the same, and ⁇ using the piezoelectric vibrator.
- a second object of the present invention is to provide a piezoelectric vibrator capable of reducing variation in vibration characteristics, a method for manufacturing the same, and ⁇ using the piezoelectric vibrator. Disclosure of the invention
- the piezoelectric vibrating body of the present invention includes a base material, a piezoelectric element attached to a plane of the base material, and a piezoelectric vibrating body in which resonance points of a plurality of vibration modes are close to each other.
- An adhesive layer is interposed between the piezoelectric elements, and the adhesive layer is to have a Shore D hardness after curing of 80 HS or more at room temperature.
- An adhesive layer is provided between the piezoelectric element and the piezoelectric element.
- the piezoelectric element When is applied to the piezoelectric element at a frequency near the resonance point of a plurality of vibration modes, the piezoelectric element is repeatedly displaced and vibrates. Along with this, the base material also vibrates via the adhesive layer, and the entire piezoelectric vibrator vibrates along a vibration trajectory combining a plurality of vibration modes. For example, when this piezoelectric vibrator is used as a piezoelectric actuator, the driven body is driven by the vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator.
- the vibration of the piezoelectric element is prevented from being absorbed by the adhesive layer, and Vibration is transmitted well, so that the entire piezoelectric vibrator vibrates well. Thereby, the vibration loss of the piezoelectric vibrator is reduced, and the first object of the present invention is achieved. If the Shore D hardness after curing of the adhesive layer is smaller than 80 HS, the vibration of the piezoelectric element is easily absorbed by the adhesive layer, and the vibration is attenuated. For this reason, the vibration loss of the piezoelectric vibrator cannot be reduced.
- the adhesive layer is desirably made of a one-component non-solvent type epoxy resin.
- the adhesive layer is a one-pack aggressive agent type, a uniform adhesive layer can be formed without mixing.
- mixing for mixing is not required, air mixing is prevented.
- the adhesive strength is not sufficiently obtained due to the incorporation of air, the stress generated when the piezoelectric vibrator vibrates may concentrate on the holes where air is mixed, and the adhesive layer may be peeled off. Life is shortened.
- the quality of the adhesive layer does not easily vary between lots. Therefore, since the intuition and the bonding performance of the piezoelectric element become uniform, even when the piezoelectric vibrator is vibrated near the resonance point of a plurality of vibration modes, the variation in the amplitude ratio of the plurality of vibration modes is reduced. As a result, variations in vibration characteristics between the piezoelectric vibrators are reduced, and a desired vibration trajectory can be obtained. This achieves the second object of the present invention. Also, since the mixing operation is omitted, it is manufactured relatively inexpensively.
- a method of manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrating body includes a piezoelectric element that includes a piezoelectric element and a piezoelectric element that is attached to a plane of the base material, and a method of manufacturing a pressure ⁇ dynamic body in which resonance points of a plurality of vibration modes are close to each other.
- the adhesive layer having a uniform thickness of the adhesive is formed by the adhesive layer forming step.
- This adhesive layer is transferred to a piezoelectric element, and this piezoelectric element is stuck to another piezoelectric element, so that a piezoelectric vibrator having an adhesive layer with a uniform thickness is manufactured. Therefore, variation in the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrator is reduced.
- the adhesive layer forming step preferably includes an adhesive layer thickness adjusting step of transferring the adhesive layer to a thickness adjusting transfer member and adjusting the thickness of the adhesive layer according to the number of transfers.
- the thickness of the adhesive layer becomes about half that before the transfer.
- the adhesive layer is adjusted to a desired thickness. This is particularly useful when forming a thinner adhesive layer whose thickness is difficult to control in the adhesive layer forming process. Therefore, a thinner adhesive layer can be formed.
- the method further includes, after the piezoelectric element attaching step, an adhesive layer hardening step of curing the adhesive layer under a heated state and a pressurized state.
- the adhesive layer is hardened in a heated state, the adhesive layer is hardened in a shorter time, and the manufacturing time of the piezoelectric vibrator is reduced.
- the adhesive layer is hardened under a pressurized state, the adhesiveness between the substrate and the piezoelectric element is improved.
- the base material and the piezoelectric element are pressed against each other by S.
- these bonding surfaces have microscopic irregularities corresponding to their surface roughness, it is necessary to apply pressure.
- these irregularities invert and adhere to each other.
- the adhesive layer is interposed between these irregularities, and the thickness of the adhesive layer depends on the thickness and the surface roughness of the bonding surface of the piezoelectric element. Therefore, it is possible to easily control the thickness of the adhesive layer and the roughness of the bonding surface of the piezoelectric element, thereby reducing the variation in the thickness of the adhesive layer and further stabilizing the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric element.
- the electrode is made of a material having conductivity, since the electrode and the electrode layer formed on the piezoelectric element are satisfactorily insulated, electrical conduction between the two is ensured. This makes it possible to obtain one of the terminals when applying 3 ⁇ 4E in the thickness direction of the piezoelectric element, especially when the piezoelectric element is attached to both sides of the base material. And the structure of the piezoelectric vibrator is simplified.
- a step of adjusting the surface roughness of the surface on which the piezoelectric element is to be attached is provided before the step of attaching the piezoelectric element.
- the surface roughness of the shell occupying surface on the piezoelectric element of the base material is adjusted by the surface roughness adjusting step. Therefore, burrs and the like generated during the production of the base material are removed, and the burrs are prevented from deteriorating the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrating body.
- the surface roughness of the surface of the base material to be attached to the piezoelectric element is appropriately adjusted in advance, the adhesion to the adhesive layer is improved, and the peel strength is improved.
- the thickness of the adhesive layer depends on the surface roughness of the piezoelectric element and the intuition, the thickness of the adhesive layer can be reliably controlled by adjusting the surface roughness of the base material. As a result, variations in the thickness of the bonding layer are reduced, and the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrator are further stabilized.
- the relative positions of the base material and the piezoelectric element are defined by the positioning step, so that if the adhesive layer is hardened in this state, the adhesive positions of the two will not be shifted.
- the adhesive layer cures. Therefore, this step reduces variations in the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrating body due to the displacement of the positions where the base material and the piezoelectric element are attached.
- the thermal expansion coefficients of the piezoelectric elements are close to each other.
- the thermal expansion coefficients of the base material and the piezoelectric element are close to each other, generation of distortion and residual stress due to heat is prevented. This is particularly useful, for example, when heating the adhesive layer to harden it: tj ⁇ .
- the characteristic degradation due to self-heating is suppressed.
- the piezoelectric vibrator manufactured using the above-described piezoelectric vibrator or the above-described method for manufacturing a piezoelectric vibrator is used.
- ⁇ is constituted by using the piezoelectric vibrator of the present invention or the piezoelectric vibrator manufactured by using the method of manufacturing the piezoelectric vibrator of the present invention. Vibration loss is reduced, and variation in vibration performance between piezoelectric vibrators is reduced.

- FIG. 9 (C) is a diagram showing a locus drawn by the protrusion 21.
- the piezoelectric actuator 1 drives a disk-shaped driven body 100, and the driven body 100 is rotatably supported by a fixed body (not shown).
- the convex portion 21 of the piezoelectric actuator 1 is in contact with the outer peripheral side surface of the driven body 100, and the piezoelectric actuator 1 has an arm portion 2 2 that protrudes at a substantially right angle from substantially the center in the longitudinal direction.
- the arms 22 are formed integrally with the base material 2.
- the holes formed at the ends are screwed to a fixed body (not shown), so that the piezoelectric actuator 1 is fixed and the arms are convex.
- the portion 21 is brought into contact with the driven body 100 in a state where an appropriate urging force is applied by an urging force generating means (not shown). At this time, the convex portion 21 is in contact with the piezoelectric actuator 1 such that the longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric actuator 1 has a certain angle (for example, 30 °) from the center direction of the driven body 100.
- Lead wires are connected to the electrode layer 31A and the base material 2 of the piezoelectric element 3, and these lead wires are connected to an application device that applies an alternating current of a predetermined frequency.
- the piezoelectric actuator 1 expands and contracts in the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 9 (A), that is, so-called longitudinal vibration, and bends in a direction substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal vibration as shown in FIG. 9 (B). It has two vibration modes, so-called bending vibration. By combining these two vibration modes, the convex portion 21 oscillates along an elliptical orbit in the in-plane direction as shown in FIG. 9 (C).
- each of these two vibration modes has a resonance point, and the difference between the resonance frequencies of these resonance points is about several kHz in advance by appropriately setting the size and shape of the piezoelectric actuator 1. They are set to be close to each other. Thus, when the piezoelectric actuator 1 is driven between these resonance frequencies, the piezoelectric actuator 1 can be driven near the resonance point of the mutual vibration mode, so that a large vibration amplitude can be obtained.
- the convex portion 21 rotates the driven body 100 in a part of the elliptical orbit in the direction of arrow R in FIG. By performing this operation at a predetermined frequency, the piezoelectric actuator 1 rotates the driven body 100 at a desired speed.
- FIG. 10 shows the relationship between the Shore D hardness of the adhesive layer 4 after the bonding and the Q value of the piezoelectric actuator 1. As shown in FIG. 10, when the Shore D hardness of the adhesive layer 4 increases, the Q value of the piezoelectric actuator 1 sharply increases, and is stable at a Shore D hardness of 80 HS or more. It can be seen that the above high Q value can be obtained.
- FIG. 11 shows the relationship between the Q value of the piezoelectric actuator 1 and the amplitude near the resonance point of the vibration of the piezoelectric actuator 1.
- FIG. 12 shows a diagram of the relationship between the frequency of ffi applied to the piezoelectric actuator 1 and the impedance, and a diagram of the relationship between the frequency and the amplitude of the piezoelectric actuator 1.
- f r1 is the resonance frequency of the longitudinal vibration
- f r2 is the resonance frequency of the bending vibration.
- the amplitude near the resonance point of the piezoelectric actuator 1 is proportional to the Q value, and that as the Q value increases, the amplitude of the piezoelectric actuator 1 also increases.
- the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric actuator 1 when the Q value is relatively high are better when the Q value is relatively low (Fig. 1).
- the impedances at the resonance points of the two vibration modes, longitudinal vibration and bending vibration are smaller and the amplitudes of these vibration modes are larger, respectively, compared to the two-dot chain line in Fig. 2).
- a high Q value can be obtained by using the high hardness adhesive layer 4 having a Shore D hardness of 80 HS or more. It can be seen that, by obtaining a high Q value, the vibration loss of the piezoelectric actuator 1 is reduced, and a large vibration amplitude is obtained in the piezoelectric actuator 1.
- FIG. 13 shows the trajectories of the vibration of the protrusion 21 of the piezoelectric actuator 1 when the Q value of the piezoelectric actuator 1 is relatively small;
- the vibration $ WR s in the convex portion 21 when the Q value is small is an elliptical vibration in which the component of the longitudinal vibration is larger than the component of the bending vibration, and although the force for pressing the driven body 100 in the radial direction acts, However, the force for rotating the driven body 100 by pressing the driven body 100 in the tangential direction is reduced.
- the Shore D hardness of the adhesive layer 4 is as high as 80 HS or more, the Q value increases, and the amplitude of the movement increases.
- the amplitude of the bending vibration increases due to the large Q value, but at the same time, since the effect of exciting the bending vibration by the longitudinal vibration is large, the amplitude increases according to the amplitude of the longitudinal vibration. Therefore, when the Q value is large, the vibration trajectory Rb of the convex portion 21 has good vibration amplitude of vertical vibration and good vibration amplitude of bending vibration, and presses the driven body 100 in the tangential direction. And the force required for rotational drive can be secured.
- the piezoelectric actuator 1 that drives the driven body 100 by combining a plurality of vibration modes, it is possible to secure the Q value of the piezoelectric actuator 1 by using the adhesive layer 4 having a high Shore D hardness. It is understood that it is important for obtaining the driving efficiency improving effect.
- the hardness of the adhesive layer 4 after hardening is as high as 80 HS or more! Therefore, the vibration of the piezoelectric element 3 is hardly absorbed, and the vibration of the piezoelectric element 3 can be transmitted to the base material 2 satisfactorily. Therefore, the vibration loss of the piezoelectric actuator 1 can be reduced.
- the adhesive 41 is a one-liquid non-solvent type, it does not need to be mixed unlike a two-part adhesive. Therefore, the stirring operation is not required, and the manufacturing process can be simplified, and the possibility that air is mixed into the adhesive 41 by the stirring can be eliminated. This prevents breakage of the piezoelectric element 3 due to air expansion and short life of the piezoelectric actuator 1 due to stress concentration when the piezoelectric actuator 1 vibrates even when heated in the adhesive layer curing step. Further, since the adhesive layer 4 can be formed uniformly, it is possible to reduce the variation of each resonance point of longitudinal vibration and bending vibration, and 'The vibration characteristics of eta 1 can be stabilized. Further, since there is little variation in the composition between the mouthpieces, variation in the vibration characteristics among the plurality of piezoelectric actuators 1 can be reduced.
- the adhesive layer 4 Since the adhesive layer 4 is heated by heat in the adhesive layer hardening step, the adhesive layer 4 can be dried in a shorter time. Therefore, the manufacturing time of the piezoelectric actuator 1 can be reduced. In addition, since the adhesive layer 4 is pressurized in this step, expansion of the adhesive layer 4 in the thickness direction due to caloric heat can be suppressed. Also, in this step, by pressing the adhesive layer 4, the electrode layer 31 of the piezoelectric element 3 (that is, the piezoelectric element 3) and the base material 2 have fine irregularities corresponding to the respective surface roughness. You will come into contact with each other!
- the adhesive layer 4 is interposed between these irregularities, that is, the thickness of the adhesive layer 4 does not depend on the applied amount of the adhesive 41 and depends on the surface roughness of each bonding surface. Become like For this reason, the thickness of the adhesive layer 4 can be easily controlled, and the variation in the vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric actuator 1 can be reduced.
- the burrs generated in the process of (1) can be removed. Also, by unifying the surface roughness of the base material 2, the thickness (intervening amount) of the adhesive layer 4 between the piezoelectric element 3 and the piezoelectric element 3 can be controlled, so that variations in the thickness of the adhesive layer 4 can be reduced. The vibration characteristics of the piezoelectric actuator 1 can be further reduced.
- the adhesive layer 4 was pressurized by the calo-pressure jig 7 and heated in the force heating tank 61, but is not limited thereto. Curing may be performed using only calo heat. Alternatively, the adhesive layer 4 may be dried and hardened by being left in a calo-pressure state without heating. Furthermore, the adhesive layer 4 may be dried by leaving the piezoelectric actuator 1 for a predetermined time without performing calorific heat or caloric pressure. At this time, for example, the positioning of the piezoelectric element 3 and the base material 2 may be performed using only the lower plate 71 of the pressing jig 7. In the present embodiment, the material of the substrate 2 is made of SUS301, but is not limited to this.
- the thermal expansion coefficient of the piezoelectric element 3 is reduced in order to reduce residual stress caused by a difference in expansion due to heating. It is desirable to select a material having a near-low thermal expansion coefficient. According to this, the vibration of the piezoelectric element 3 can be transmitted to the substrate 2 satisfactorily, and the vibration loss can be further reduced.
- the base material 2 has various functions, such as a vibrating body having appropriate elasticity so that it can be displaced by the vibration of the piezoelectric element 3, and supports the piezoelectric actuator 1 and fixes it at a predetermined position.
- Various functions such as a role as a fixed part that drives, a role as a drive part that contacts the driven body and drives the driven body, and a role as a conductor that can electrically conduct with the piezoelectric element 3 Have. Therefore, the base material 2 is required to have strength as a reinforcing material, strength for supporting and fixing, elasticity as a vibrating body, and hardness / abrasion resistance when contacting a driven body. Therefore, it is desirable that the material of the base material 2 is appropriately determined so that these roles can be satisfied in a good balance.
