Abstract

There is provided a vibrator including: a housing including an internal space; an elastic member mounted within the internal space so as to be elastically deformed; and a piezo actuator mounted on one surface of the elastic member, wherein the elastic member includes a reinforcement emboss protruding toward a surface opposite to a surface on which the piezo actuator is mounted in a portion on which the piezo actuator is mounted.

Claims (26)

1. A vibrator comprising:

a housing including an internal space;

an elastic member mounted within the internal space so as to be elastically deformed; and

a piezo actuator mounted on one surface of the elastic member,

wherein the elastic member includes an extension plate extending in a height direction from both edges thereof and a plurality of reinforcement embosses protruding toward a direction opposite to a direction to which the extension plate extends.

2. The vibrator of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement embosses are continuously formed in a length direction of the elastic member.

3. The vibrator of claim 1 , wherein a length of each reinforcement emboss is provided so as to be shorter than a length of the piezo actuator.

4. A vibrator comprising:

a housing including an internal space;

an elastic member mounted within the internal space so as to be elastically deformed; and

a piezo actuator mounted on one surface of the elastic member, wherein

the elastic member includes a reinforcement emboss having symmetrical embossing patterns formed protruding toward a surface opposite to a surface on which the piezo actuator is mounted,

wherein the elastic member includes a bottom plate having the piezo actuator is mounted on a surface thereof and an extension plate extended in a height direction from both edges of the bottom plate in a width direction.

5. The vibrator of claim 4 , wherein the extension plate includes a connection part having one end connected to the bottom plate and extended in the height direction from a central portion of the bottom plate in the length direction and a support plate part provided in the length direction at the other end of the connection part to guide a mass body.

6. The vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the reinforcement emboss is provided so as to be shorter than the piezo actuator in the length direction and longer than a length between both ends of the connection part in the length direction.

7. The vibrator of claim 5 , wherein the reinforcement emboss is provided so that both ends thereof are positioned outwardly from both ends of the connection part in the length direction, respectively.

8. The vibrator of claim 1 , wherein each of the reinforcement embosses includes an embossing pattern symmetrical to each other.

9. The vibrator of claim 8 , wherein the embossing pattern is a triangular shape.

10. The vibrator of claim 8 , wherein the embossing pattern is a round shape.

11. A vibrator comprising:

a housing including an internal space;

an elastic member mounted within the internal space; and

a piezo actuator mounted on one surface of the elastic member to deform the elastic member, wherein

the elastic member includes a bottom plate having the piezo actuator is mounted on a surface thereof, a connection part having one end connected to the bottom plate and extended in the height direction from a central portion of the bottom plate in a length direction, and a support plate part provided in the length direction at the other end of the connection part to guide a mass body,

the bottom plate including a reinforcement emboss in the length direction so as to prevent a portion connected to the connection part in the bottom plate from being damaged.

12. The vibrator of claim 8 , wherein the embossing pattern is a rectangular shape.
