Horizontal linear vibrator
View Patent ↗A horizontal linear vibrator includes: a bracket providing an internal space; a vibration unit mounted in the internal space and making a horizontal, linear movement; a magnetic field unit providing an electromagnetic force to allow the vibration unit to move horizontally; and a cover unit formed to cover an upper portion of the bracket, wherein the bracket includes a support plate part so as to support the vibration unit to make a horizontal, linear movement, and the cover unit is formed to overlap with the support plate part.
1. A horizontal linear vibrator comprising:
a bracket providing an internal space;
a vibration unit mounted in the internal space and making a horizontal, linear movement;
a magnetic field unit providing an electromagnetic force to allow the vibration unit to move horizontally; and
a cover unit formed to cover an upper portion of the bracket,
wherein the bracket comprises a support plate part in contact with the vibration unit when the vibration unit makes a horizontal, linear motion, and the cover unit comprises side wall parts which overlap the support plate part after the cover unit is coupled to the bracket.
2. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the cover unit has an upper surface in a quadrangular shape, and comprises the side wall parts formed to be bent vertically along four corners.
3. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the cover unit has an upper surface in a quadrangular shape and comprises the side wall parts formed to be bent vertically along two facing corners.
4. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises an insertion part protruded upward, and the cover unit comprises a binding recess to bind the insertion part therein.
5. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the vibration unit comprises a yoke part accommodating the magnetic field unit therein and a mass body accommodating the yoke part therein.
6. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the yoke part comprises an extending portion formed to be tightly attached to an outer surface of the mass body.
7. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a bobbin formed in the internal space, and the magnetic field unit comprises a coil part insertedly formed in the bobbin and a magnet disposed to be adjacent to the coil part.
8. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 7 , wherein the coil part comprises a hollow, and the magnet is disposed to be insertedly positioned in the hollow.
9. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 7 , wherein the coil part has a quadrangular shape.
10. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 7 , wherein the magnet faces both sides of a magnetic body core such that the polarities thereof face each other.
11. The horizontal linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein a circuit board is installed at an upper portion of the bracket and connected with an external input terminal.
