Abstract

There is provided a vibration generating device including: a driving magnet of a rotor part rotated around a shaft and a coil part disposed to face the driving magnet and electromagnetically interacting with the driving magnet to rotate the rotor part, wherein the number of poles of the driving magnet and the number of coils of the coil part are the same as each other.

Claims (23)

1. A vibration generating device comprising:

a housing having an internal space;

a circuit board which is fixed to the housing and of which a portion is extended externally from the housing;

a coil part including at least four coils which are installed on the circuit board;

a rotor part rotated around a shaft and including a driving magnet which is disposed to face the coil part; and

a driving control member installed on the circuit board and detecting a position of the driving magnet,

wherein the rotor part comprises:

a bearing member rotatably installed on the shaft;

a yoke member installed on the bearing member and rotated together with the bearing member;

the driving magnet having a circular ring shape and fixed to a lower surface of the yoke member; and

a mass body having a semi-ring shape and fixed to the lower surface of the yoke member and disposed outside of the driving magnet,

wherein the yoke member comprises:

a disk part having a circular plate shape; and

a cylindrical wall part extended downwardly from a central portion of the disk part, and

wherein the disk part comprises:

a first semicircular part in which a plurality of through-holes or recesses are provided; and

a second semicircular part which is extended from the first semicircular part and has a diameter larger than that of the first semicircular part, and on which the mass body is installed.

2. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the coil part includes a pair of first coils which are disposed symmetrically with respect to each other and a pair of second coils which are disposed symmetrically with respect to each other, on the basis of a symmetrical line passing through the shaft, the first coils are larger than the second coils.

3. The vibration generating device of claim 2 , wherein the second coils are disposed on both sides of the driving control member.

4. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein a total number of poles of the driving magnet is the same as that of coils included in the coil part.

5. The vibration generating device of claim 1 , wherein the housing includes:

an upper case having an internal space and having a cylindrical shape, a lower portion of which is open; and

a bracket assembled to the lower portion of the upper case and having a plate shape.
