Abstract

Disclosed herein is a flat type vibration motor. The motor includes a bracket having a shaft mounted to the central portion of the bracket, with a lower substrate and a magnet being adhered to the upper surface of the bracket. A casing covers the upper portion of the bracket, and defines an internal space. An upper substrate has on a lower surface thereof a commutator. A coil and a weight are adhered to the upper surface of the upper substrate. A resin member is provided on some portion of the upper substrate and has a bearing holding hole. A bearing is held in the bearing holding hole and rotatably supported by the shaft. A brush is secured at a first end thereof to the lower substrate and contacts at a second end thereof to the commutator to form a contact part.

Claims (21)

1. A flat type vibration motor, comprising:

a bracket having a shaft mounted to a central portion of the bracket, with a lower substrate and a magnet being adhered to an upper surface of the bracket;

a casing covering an upper portion of the bracket, and defining an internal space;

an upper substrate having on a lower surface thereof a commutator and having a through hole;

a coil and a weight adhered to an upper surface of the upper substrate;

a resin member provided on some portion of the upper substrate where the coil and the weight are not adhered and having a bearing holding hole;

a bearing held in the bearing holding hole, and rotatably supported by the shaft; and

a brush secured at a first end thereof to the lower substrate, and contacting at a second end thereof to the commutator to form a contact part,

wherein the resin member is injection molded integrally with the upper substrate, or the resin member is manufactured through injection molding, and is secured to the upper substrate through force-fitting, and the resin member is formed around a region into which the bearing is inserted to have the bearing holding hole, and the coil and the weight are not surrounded with resin.

2. The flat type vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the coil and the weight are adhered to the upper substrate using an adhesive or double-sided tape.

3. The flat type vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the bearing is held in the bearing holding hole through force-fitting.

4. The flat type vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the bearing is adhered to the bearing holding hole using an adhesive.

5. A flat type vibration motor, comprising:

a bracket having a shaft mounted to a central portion of the bracket, with a lower substrate and a magnet being adhered to an upper surface of the bracket;

a casing covering an upper portion of the bracket, and defining an internal space;

an upper substrate having on a lower surface thereof a commutator and having a through hole;

a coil and a weight adhered to an upper surface of the upper substrate;

a resin member provided on some portion of the upper substrate where the coil and the weight are not adhered, and having a shaft insertion hole therein to support the shaft; and

a brush secured at a first end thereof to the lower substrate, and contacting at a second end thereof to the commutator to form a contact part,

wherein the resin member is injection molded integrally with the upper substrate, or the resin member is manufactured through injection molding and is secured to the upper substrate through force-fitting, and the resin member is formed around the shaft insertion hole, and the coil and the weight are not surrounded with resin.

6. The flat type vibration motor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the coil and the weight are adhered to the upper substrate using an adhesive or double-sided tape.
