Flat vibration motor
View Patent ↗A flat vibration motor able to be mounted to a device side board by just reflow processing and able to reduce the occupied area, that is, a flat vibration motor provided with a stator plate having a through hole into which one end of a shaft is fit, the stator plate having a magnetic metal core plate having detent torque generating holes 10 a to 10 c , interconnect patterns arranged on a first electrical insulating film formed on this front surface, and electrode patterns arranged on a second electrical insulating film formed on a back surface of the magnetic metal core plate and connected with the interconnect patterns through the through holes h 1 to h 3 , the insides of the detent torque generating holes 10 a to 10 c being covered by front-to-back superposed films formed by extensions of the first electrical insulating film and second electrical insulating film.
1. A flat vibration motor provided with a stator plate having a through hole in which one end of a shaft is fit, a cover with an open part covered by the stator plate and having a shaft mounting hole in which the other end of the shaft is fit, and a rotor plate having an axial direction field type rotor magnet and eccentric weight supported to be able to rotate through a slide bearing through which the shaft passes,
wherein the stator plate has a magnetic metal core plate having a plurality of detent torque generating spaces around the through hole, printed interconnect patterns arranged on a first electrical insulating film formed on a front surface of this magnetic metal core plate and interconnecting mounted electronic devices with each other, and electrode patterns arranged on a second electrical insulating film formed on a back surface of the magnetic metal core plate and connecting with interconnect patterns through through holes, the insides of the detent torque generating spaces being covered by front-to-back superposed films of extensions of the first electrical insulating film and second electrical insulating film.
2. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said detent torque generating spaces are holes, and the magnetic metal core plate is provided with notches connecting the outer periphery to the holes.
3. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the vicinity of the peripheral edge of the through hole at the stator plate is an exposed part of the magnetic metal core plate in the range where no second electrical insulating film is formed.
4. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said electrode patterns run across said second electrical insulating film of said front-to-back superposed films.
5. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 4 , wherein said interconnect patterns include first and second interconnect patterns, the electrode patterns include an inside circular ring shaped electrode pattern connected with the first interconnect pattern through a first through hole and formed concentrically with the through hole and an outside circular ring shaped electrode pattern connected with the second interconnect pattern through a second through hole and formed concentrically with the inside circular ring shaped electrode pattern.
6. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein said interconnect patterns include a third interconnect pattern, while the electrode patterns include a center circular ring shaped electrode pattern connected with the third interconnect pattern through a third through hole and formed concentrically about said through hole.
7. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 6 , wherein said third through hole is provided at a position in the interval between the center circular ring shaped electrode pattern and the inside circular ring shaped electrode pattern.
8. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 5 , wherein the circular ring shape of the inside circular ring shaped electrode pattern has a width broader than the width of the circular ring shape of the outside circular ring shaped electrode pattern.
