Abstract

A reciprocating vibrator able to prevent detachment of a spindle even without an outer cover, that is, a vibration linear actuator provided with a ring-shaped weight 20 having a permanent magnet 30, 31 at its inner circumference side, a first plate spring 40 fastened to a first end face 20 a of this weight 20 at outer circumference side tail parts 41 a , 42 a , a second plate spring 50 fastened to a second end face 20 b of the weight 20 at outer circumference side tail parts 51 a , 52 a , and a stator supporting the first and second plate springs 40, 50 and having an excitation coil 60 generating a reciprocating vibrating magnetic field with respect to the weight 20 at an inner circumference side of the permanent magnet 30, 31 , wherein the stator further has a metal end plate 70 fastening the second plate spring 50 by the ring-shaped plate part 53.

Claims (10)

1. A reciprocating vibrator comprising a ring-shaped weight having permanent magnets at its inner circumference side, a first plate spring fastened to a first end face of this weight at outer circumference side tail parts, a second plate spring fastened to a second end face of the weight at outer circumference side tail parts, and a stator supporting the first and second plate springs and having an excitation coil generating a reciprocating vibrating magnetic field with respect to the weight at an inner circumference side of the permanent magnets,

said stator further comprising a metal end plate fastening the second plate spring at its inner circumference side, and a thrust member made of a magnetic material,

said thrust member passing through the inside of the excitation coil, having one end protrude as to abut a center part of the first plate spring and a second end pass through a hole of the second plate spring, the second end thrusting against the metal end plate.

2. A reciprocating vibrator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said thrust member is a spindle and said excitation coil is cylindrically shaped.

3. A reciprocating vibrator as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said thrust member has a projection at one of its ends for engaging with a positioning hole of said metal end plate.

4. A reciprocating vibrator as set forth in claim 1 , further having a power feed circuit board supported on said metal end plate for carrying said excitation coil.

5. A reciprocating vibrator comprising a ring-shaped weight having permanent magnets at its inner circumference side, a first plate spring fastened to a first end face of this weight at outer circumference side tail parts, a second plate spring fastened to a second end face of the weight at outer circumference side tail parts, and a stator supporting the first and second plate springs and having an excitation coil generating a reciprocating vibrating magnetic field with respect to the weight at an inner circumference side of the permanent magnets,

said stator further comprising a metal end plate fastening the second plate spring at its inner circumference side, and a thrust member made of a magnetic material,

said thrust member passing through the inside of the excitation coil, having one end protrude as to abut a center part of the first plate spring and a second end pass through a hole of the second plate spring, the second end thrusting against the metal end plate,

wherein said metal end plate has projecting parts for limited contact and welding with an inner circumference side of said second plate spring.
