Apparatus for providing haptic feedback
View Patent ↗Disclosed is an apparatus used in an electronic device for providing haptic feedback. The apparatus includes a base defining a receiving space, a piezoelectricity vibrator suspended in the receiving space and being capable of vibrating in the receiving space, a pair of contacts partially accommodated in the base and electrically connected to the piezoelectricity vibrator, and a transmitting mass located above the piezoelectricity vibrator with a lower side abutting against the piezoelectricity vibrator.
1. An apparatus for providing haptic feedback, comprising:
a base defining a pair of through holes at two ends thereof; a pair of contacts partially accommodated in the through holes;
a piezoelectricity vibrator suspended by the contacts with two ends electrically connected to the contacts;
a cover defining two pressing portions for pressing the two ends of the piezoelectricity vibrator on the contacts, a pair of transmitting beams extending from one of the pressing portions to the other pressing portion, and a transmitting mass clamped into position by the transmitting beams with a lower side abutting against the piezoelectricity vibrator to impart the haptic feedback.
2. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 1 further defines a gap between the piezoelectricity vibrator and a bottom of the base.
3. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 1 further defines an interval between the piezoelectricity vibrator and the transmitting beams.
4. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 1 , wherein the base further includes a pair of steps for supporting the piezoelectricity vibrator.
5. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 1 , wherein transmitting mass includes an upper side protruding from the transmitting beams.
6. An apparatus for providing haptic feedback, comprising:
a base defining a receiving space and including a pair of steps therein; a cover; a piezoelectricity vibrator suspended in the receiving space by the steps;
a pair of contacts partially accommodated in the base and electrically connected to the piezoelectricity vibrator; wherein
the cover comprises two pressing portions for pressing the two ends of the piezoelectricity vibrator to the contacts on the steps, a pair of transmitting beams extending from one of the pressing portion to the other pressing portion, and a transmitting mass clamped into position by the transmitting beams with a lower side abutting against the piezoelectricity vibrator to impart haptic feedback.
7. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 6 further defines a gap between the piezoelectricity vibrator and a bottom of the base.
8. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 6 further defines an interval between the piezoelectricity vibrator and the transmitting beams.
9. The apparatus for providing haptic feedback as described in claim 6 , wherein transmitting mass includes an upper side protruding from the transmitting beams.
10. An electronic device having an apparatus for providing haptic feedback, the apparatus comprising:
a base defining a receiving space;
a piezoelectricity vibrator suspended in the receiving space and being capable of vibrating in the receiving space;
a pair of contacts partially accommodated in the base and electrically connected to the piezoelectricity vibrator;
a transmitting mass located above the piezoelectricity vibrator with a lower side abutting against the piezoelectricity vibrator and an upper side abutting against an interactive interface of the electronic device to impart the haptic feedback;
a pair of steps for suspending the piezoelectric vibrator at two ends thereof;
the contacts suspends the piezoelectricity vibrator at two ends of the piezoelectricity vibrator; and
a cover having two pressing portions for pressing the two ends of the piezoelectricity vibrator to the contacts on the steps, and a pair of transmitting beams for supporting the transmitting mass.
