- an electronic device 10d according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention is a modification of the electronic device 10a according to the second embodiment, and has the same structure except for the structure of the sound generator 50d. I have. Therefore, in the following, the sound generator 50d will be mainly described.
- the sound generator 50d includes a piezoelectric plate 60, a support member 100, and a weight 70d.
- the support member 100 has a support portion 92d and an attachment portion 94d.
- the support portion 92d and the attachment portion 94d correspond to the support portion 92a and the attachment portion 94a in the second embodiment, respectively. That is, the support portion 92d covers the lower surface 64 of the piezoelectric plate 60 to support the piezoelectric plate 60 and supports the weight 70d.
- the attachment portion 94d is attached to the attachment base 36d of the housing 30d.
- the support member 100 is made of a metal plate, for example, a stainless steel plate.
- the piezoelectric plate 60 and the weight 70d are fixed to the support member 100 using an adhesive.
- a double-sided tape may be used in place of the adhesive.
- the mounting portion 94d of the support member 100 does not have a screw hole and is joined to the mounting base 36d.
- a screw hole may be provided in the attachment portion 94d, and the attachment portion 94 may be fixed to the attachment base 36d with screws.
- the weight 70d is aligned with the piezoelectric plate 60 in the first horizontal direction and is supported by the support portion 92d. Accordingly, the weight 70d covers the end portion farther from the mounting portion 94 among the two end portions of the piezoelectric plate 60 in the first horizontal direction. There may or may not be a gap between the weight 70 and the piezoelectric plate 60.
- the size of the weight 70d is larger than the size (thickness) of the piezoelectric plate 60 in the vertical direction. Thereby, when the acoustic generator 50d vibrates, the piezoelectric plate 60 is prevented from directly colliding with another member (for example, the main surface member 20), and the piezoelectric plate 60 is prevented from being damaged.
- the weight 70d not only functions as the weight 70 in the second embodiment, but also functions as the protection unit 93. That is, in the present embodiment, the support member 100 and the weight 70d function as the protection member 90a of the second embodiment.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- a U-shaped weight 70e having a corner in a plan view may be used.
- the weight 70e has a main portion corresponding to the weight 70d and a pair of arm portions extending from the main portion in the same direction along the first horizontal direction.
- the pair of arm portions are arranged so as to sandwich the piezoelectric plate 60 in a horizontal plane.
- the pair of arm portions are arranged so as to cover a part of each of the two side surfaces 66 of the piezoelectric plate 60.
- the weight 70e in FIG. 11 is configured as a single weight
- the main part and the arm part may be configured as separate weights.
- the main part and the arm part may be arranged apart from each other.
- the main part may be removed and only a pair of weights corresponding to the arm part may be used.
- the protective portions 93 and 93a surround the plurality of side surfaces 66 in a horizontal plane parallel to the lower surface 64, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the protection portions 93 and 93a only need to cover at least one of the side surfaces 66.
- the weights 70d and 70e functioning as the protection unit only need to cover at least one of the side surfaces 66.
- the protective members 90 and 90a have been illustrated as separate from the casings 30, 30a, and 30b, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the protection members 90 and 90a may be integrally formed with the casings 30, 30a, and 30b.
- the present invention relates to Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-236679 filed with the Japan Patent Office on November 21, 2014 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2015-108493 filed with the Japan Patent Office on May 28, 2015. The contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
