Abstract

A linear vibrator is disclosed, the linear vibrator including a case providing an inner space, a stator including a circuit board arranged on the case and a coil block electrically connected to the circuit board, an integral spring including a plate opposite to the circuit board and springs vibratingly fixing both distal ends of the plate to the case, a yoke arranged on the integral spring in opposition to the circuit board, and a vibrator including a weight coupled to the yoke and a magnet coupled to the weight in opposition to the coil block.

Claims (27)

1 . A linear vibrator, the linear vibrator comprising:

a case providing an inner space; a stator including a circuit board arranged on the case and a coil block electrically connected to the circuit board;

an integral spring including a plate opposite to the circuit board and springs vibratingly fixing both distal ends of the plate to the case;

a yoke arranged on the integral spring in opposition to the circuit board; and

a vibrator including a weight coupled to the yoke and a magnet coupled to the weight in opposition to the coil block.

2 . The linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the springs include a first spring integrally formed on one side of the plate and a second spring integrally formed on the other side opposite to the one side.

3 . The linear vibrator of claim 2 , wherein the first and second springs are arranged perpendicularly to the plate and bent at least one time.

4 . The linear vibrator of claim 2 , wherein the first and second springs are symmetrically formed relative to a center of the plate.

5 . The linear vibrator of claim 2 , wherein the yoke includes a first yoke arranged on the plate and a second yoke arranged near to the first yoke on the plate.

6 . The linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the first yoke includes a first coupling unit arranged in parallel with the first spring for being coupled with the first spring, and the second yoke includes a second coupling unit arranged in parallel with the second spring for being coupled with the second spring.

7 . The linear vibrator of claim 6 , wherein the first coupling unit and the first spring are welded, and the second coupling unit and the second spring are welded.

8 . The linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the first and second yokes are formed near to the first and second springs, each formed with a damping magnet unit, for fixing the damping magnet.

9 . The linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the first and second yokes are coupled on the plate in opposition to the circuit board.

10 . The linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein a gap is formed between the first and second yokes coupled on the plate.

11 . The linear vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the first and second yokes are symmetrically formed relative to a center of the plate.

12 . The linear vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the case includes a bottom case coupled to an upper case.

13 . The linear vibrator of claim 12 , wherein each distal end of the springs is coupled to an inner lateral surface of the case.

14 . A linear vibrator, the linear vibrator comprising:

a case including a bottom case and an upper case coupled to the bottom case to form an accommodation space;

a stator including a circuit board arranged on the bottom case and a coil block electrically connected to the circuit board;

an integral spring including a plate in opposition to the circuit board, and first and second springs each integrally formed at an edge in opposition to the plate and fixed to the case;

a magnet yoke including a first yoke coupled to the first spring and a second yoke coupled to the second spring; and a vibrator including a weight coupled to the magnet yoke and a magnet coupled to the weight in opposition to the coil block.

15 . The linear vibrator of claim 14 , wherein the plate is arranged in parallel with the circuit board, and first and second springs are bent at least one time and perpendicularly formed to the plate.

16 . The linear vibrator of claim 14 , wherein the first magnet yoke includes a first coupling unit arranged in parallel with the first spring for being coupled with the first spring, and the second yoke includes a second coupling unit arranged in parallel with the second spring for being coupled with the second spring.

17 . The linear vibrator of claim 14 , wherein the first and second yokes are formed adjacent to the first and second springs, and formed with damping magnet units fixing damping magnets.

18 . The linear vibrator of claim 14 , wherein the first and second yokes are formed on the plate in opposition to the circuit board.

19 . The linear vibrator of claim 14 , wherein a gap is formed between the first and second yokes coupled to the plate.
