Abstract

A multifunctional vibrator includes a frame, a vibrating unit receiving in the frame and including a magnetic circuit part with a magnetic gap, a plurality of elastic members connecting the vibrating unit and the frame, and a voice coil partially inserted into the magnetic gap. Each elastic member includes a retaining portion assembling to an inner face of the frame, a connecting portion attached to the vibrating unit, and an elastic portion extending from the retaining portion to the connecting portion along a devious way. The elastic portion of elastic members includes a first arm capable of generating elastic deformation along a short axis direction of the vibrating unit and a second arm capable of generating elastic deformation along a long axis direction of the vibrating unit.

Claims (14)

1. A multifunctional vibrator, comprising:

a frame;

a vibrating unit, including a magnetic circuit part suspended in the frame with a magnetic gap therein;

a plurality of elastic members connecting the frame and the vibrating unit, each elastic member defines a retaining portion attached to the vibrating unit, a connecting portion attached to the frame, and an elastic portion extending from the retaining portion to the connecting portion along a devious way;

a diaphragm supported by the frame;

a voice coil attached to the diaphragm and partially inserted into the magnetic gap; wherein

the elastic portion of elastic members includes a first arm capable of generating an elastic deformation along a short axis direction of the vibrating unit and a second arm generating an elastic deformation along a long axis direction of the vibrating unit; wherein

the magnetic circuit part includes a pole plate, a first magnet fixed at a central portion of the pole plate, a plurality of second magnets disposed surrounding the first magnet, each of the second magnets is forming a receiving gap corporately with an adjacent second magnet, each of the receiving gaps receives a weight disposed on the pole plate.

2. The multifunctional vibrator as described in claim 1 , wherein the elastic portion has a roughly L-shaped configuration, the first arm is U-shaped and extending along the long axis direction of the vibrating unit, the second arm is U-shaped and extending along the short axis direction of the vibrating unit.

3. The multifunctional vibrator as described in claim 2 , wherein the magnetic circuit part includes four separate second magnets fixed at a periphery of the pole plate.

4. The multifunctional vibrator as described in claim 3 , wherein each weight defines an L-shaped first segment and a second segment disposed in an inner corner of the first segment, a top face of the second segment is higher than an upmost face of the first segment.

5. The multifunctional vibrator as described in claim 4 , wherein four elastic members are positioned above the weights.

6. The multifunctional vibrator as described in claim 5 , wherein the retaining portion of each elastic member is fixed on the top face of the second segment of the weight.

7. The multifunctional vibrator as described in claim 6 , wherein the elastic portion of each elastic member is disposed directly above the first segment of the weight and keeps distance therebetween.
