Abstract

There is provided a vibration generating device, including: a housing including an inner space; a shaft provided in the inner space of the housing in an axial direction; a frame including a shaft hole into which the shaft is fitted; a bearing member mounted on the frame to be vibrated in a state of contact with the shaft; a vibrating part mounted on an outer surface of the frame and including a magnetic field generation part; elastic members mounted on both ends of the vibrating part in the axial direction; and a coil provided in the inner space and vibrating the vibrating part by interaction with the magnetic field generation part.

Claims (31)

1. A vibration generating device, comprising:

a housing including an inner space;

a shaft provided in the inner space of the housing in an axial direction;

a frame including a shaft hole into which the shaft is inserted;

a bearing member mounted on the frame to be vibrated in a state of contact with the shaft;

a vibrating part mounted on an outer surface of the frame and including a magnetic field generation part;

elastic members mounted on both ends of the vibrating part or the bearing member in the axial direction; and

a coil provided in the inner space and vibrating the vibrating part by interaction with the magnetic field generation part.

2. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the coil is disposed on an upper or lower portion of the housing in the axial direction.

3. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein at least one of both ends of the coil in the axial direction is provided with a yoke formed of a magnetic material.

4. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the coil is provided on an inner surface of the housing to be disposed in the inner space.

5. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the coil includes a first coil and a second coil.

6. The vibration generating device of claim 5 , wherein at least one of both ends of the first coil and the second coil in the axial direction is provided with a yoke formed of a magnetic material.

7. The vibration generating device of claim 5 , wherein the first coil and the second coil are continuously disposed in the axial direction, and

the yoke is disposed between the first coil and the second coil.

8. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the bearing member is provided on both ends of the frame.

9. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the bearing member is disposed such that an outer surface thereof contacts an inner circumferential surface of the frame and an inner circumferential surface thereof contacts the shaft.

10. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the vibrating part includes a weight body.

11. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the frame is vibrated in a state of being spaced apart from the shaft by a predetermined interval.

12. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic field generation part includes a magnet.

13. The vibration generating device of claim 12 , wherein at least one of both ends of the magnet is provided with a yoke formed of a magnetic material.

14. A vibration generating device, comprising:

a housing including an inner space;

a shaft provided in the inner space of the housing in an axial direction;

a frame including a shaft hole into which the shaft is inserted;

a bearing member mounted on the frame to be vibrated in a state of contact with the shaft;

a vibrating part mounted on an outer surface of the frame and a magnetic field generation part;

elastic members mounted on both ends of the vibrating part or the bearing member in the axial direction and

a coil mounted in the inner space and vibrating the vibrating part by interaction with the magnetic field generation part; and

a vibration stopping unit helping the vibrating part to stop vibrating when current applied to the coil is cut off.

15. The vibration generating device of claim 14 , wherein the vibration stopping unit is mounted on at least one end of the coil.
