Abstract

A linear vibration motor, including: a base, a vibrating unit, an elastic member, a first stopper and a second stopper. The elastic member includes two elastic members mutually spaced and arranged by stacking. Each elastic member includes a fixing arm fixed on the vibrating unit, two elastic arms bending and extending from the fixing arm, and two connecting arms respectively bending and extending from ends of the elastic arms, the connecting arms are respectively fixed on the base; the first stopper is fixed at a side of the fixing arm away from the vibrating unit; the second stopper is fixed on a side of the connecting arm close to the vibrating unit; the first stopper and the second stopper are mutually spaced and an orthographic projection of the first stopper along the vibrating direction at least partially falls into the second stopper.

Claims (21)

1. A linear vibration motor, comprising:

a base having accommodating space;

a vibrating unit; and

an elastic member fixing and suspending the vibrating unit in the accommodating space;

wherein the vibrating unit comprises a first side wall and a second side wall oppositely arranged along a direction intersecting with a vibrating direction of the vibrating unit, the elastic member comprises a first elastic member and a second elastic member spaced from each other and arranged by stacking,

wherein the first elastic member comprises a first fixing arm fixed on the first side wall, two first elastic arms respectively bending and extending from two ends of the first fixing arm and surrounding the vibrating unit, and two first connecting arms respectively bending and extending from ends of the two first elastic arms and surrounding the vibrating unit, the two first connecting arms are respectively fixed at a side of the base close to the second side wall;

the second elastic member comprises a second fixing arm fixed on the second side wall and located between the second side wall and the first connecting arm, two second elastic arms respectively bending and extending from two ends of the second fixing arm and surrounding the vibrating unit, and two second connecting arms respectively bending and extending from ends of the two second elastic arms and surrounding the vibrating unit, wherein the two connecting arms are respectively fixed at a side of the base close to the first side wall, and the first fixing arm is located between the first side wall and the second connecting arm;

the linear vibration motor further comprises:

a first stopper, and

at least two second stoppers,

wherein the first stopper is fixed at a side of the first fixing arm far away from the vibrating unit and/or a side of the second fixing arm far away from the vibrating unit;

at least two second stoppers are respectively fixed on the first connecting arm and/or the second connecting arm adjacent to the first stopper, and are located at two opposite sides of the first stopper in a direction intersecting with the vibrating direction of the vibrating unit;

for the first stopper and the second stopper located at the same side of the vibrating unit, the first stopper and the second stopper are spaced from each other and an orthographic projection of the first stopper along the vibrating direction at least partially falls into the second stopper, a distance between the first stopper and the adjacent second stopper is not larger than the an effective elastic displacement of the elastic member.

2. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the two second stoppers are both arranged close to the first side wall, and are respectively located at two opposite sides of the first stopper.

3. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the two second stoppers are both arranged close to the second side wall, and are respectively located at two opposite sides of the first stopper.

4. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a bottom plate and a top cover covering the bottom plate, the top cover comprises a top plate arranged opposite to the bottom plate and a side plate bending and extending from the top plate in a direction toward the bottom plate, the first connecting arm is fixed at a side of the side plate close to the second side wall, the second connecting arm is fixed at a side of the side plate close to the first side wall.

5. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 4 , wherein a connecting position of the first fixing arm and the first elastic arm forms a first bending portion, and a connecting position of the first connecting arm and the first elastic forms a second bending portion; a connecting position of the second fixing arm and the second elastic arm forms a third bending portion, and a connecting position of the second connecting arm and the second elastic arm forms a fourth bending portion.

6. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 5 , wherein the first fixing arm is parallel to the first connecting arm, a distance between the first bending portion and the second bending portion is less than a distance between the second bending portion and the fourth bending portion.

7. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 6 , wherein the first elastic member and the second elastic member are arranged in axial symmetry along a direction perpendicular to the vibrating direction.

8. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 6 , wherein the first elastic member and the second elastic member are arranged in central symmetry.

9. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 6 , wherein the first bending portion, the second bending portion, the third bending portion and the fourth bending portion are shaped in an arc structure.
