Abstract

A flat vibration motor including a stator having a spindle for mounting a flexible substrate, and a rotor having an eccentric weight and rotatably supported by the spindle, the flexible substrate having a lower surface substrate overlapped on the lower surface of the stator and centered around the spindle, an upper surface substrate overlapped on the upper surface of the stator plate, and a narrow-width connecting part for connecting the lower surface substrate and the upper surface substrate by bending the lower surface substrate and the upper surface substrate in an integrated fashion at a notch in the circumference of the stator plate, and the upper surface substrate having a through hole for fastening and connecting an upper surface wiring pattern with the stator plate by filing solder bump, whereby reflow soldering in automatic mounting of a printed circuit of instrument side can be performed.

Claims (10)

1 . A flat vibration motor comprising a stator plate made of metal and having a spindle, for mounting a power feeding flexible substrate, and a rotor having an eccentric weight and rotatably supported by said spindle, wherein

said power feeding flexible substrate comprises:

a lower surface substrate overlapped on the lower surface of said stator plate and centered around said spindle;

an upper surface substrate overlapped on the upper surface of said stator plate; and

a narrow-width connecting part for connecting said lower surface substrate and said upper surface substrate by bending said lower surface substrate and said upper surface substrate in an integrated fashion at a notch in the circumference of said stator plate;

said upper surface substrate having a through hole for fastening and connecting an upper surface wiring pattern with said stator plate by filing solder bump; and

said lower surface substrate having a power feeding fastening pattern.

2 . The flat vibration motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said stator plate comprises, in said lower surface, a concave part for accommodating said lower surface substrate, and a fastening circumference part for surrounding said concave part.

3 . The flat vibration motor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said power feeding fastening pattern comprises a power feeding center fastening pattern and a circumferential power feeding pattern surrounding said power feeding center fastening pattern except for the area of said narrow-width connecting part.

4 . The flat vibration motor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a solder reservoir groove is formed between the outer circumferential edge of said lower surface substrate and the inner circumferential edge of said fastening circumference part.
