Abstract

A flat vibration motor for suppressing deformation of coils even in a reflow at a high temperature, having a stator structure 10 fixing a shaft 1 and having no-core coils C 1 and C 2 ; a cover case 20 covered by the stator structure 10 and supporting the other end of the shaft 1 ; and a rotor frame 30 ; wherein the stator structure 10 includes: a board 12 having a first face 12 a being provided with electrode patterns E 1 -E 3 and a second face 12 b being provided with a wiring pattern to be connected to the electrode patterns and to the no-core coils; and a base frame 14 having a burring part 15 a into which one end of the shaft 1 is fitted, and being sandwiched between the rotor frame 30 and the upper surfaces of the coils C 1 and C 2 by abutting against the coils C 1 and C 2.

Claims (20)

1. A flat vibration brushless motor comprising: a stator structure fixing one end of a shaft and having bobbin-less no-core coils; a cover case having a tubular part, an opening of said tubular part being covered by said stator structure, supporting the other end of said shaft; and a rotor frame having an axial direction field type rotor magnet and an eccentric weight, and being supported to be able to rotate via a slide bearing through which said shaft passes; wherein said stator structure includes: a board having a first face and a second face, said first face being provided with at least one electrode pattern and said second face being provided with a wiring pattern to be connected to said electrode pattern and to said no-core coils; and a base frame having a fixing part for preventing wobbling of said one end, and being sandwiched between the side of said rotor frame opposite to said board and upper surfaces of said no-core coils by abutting said base frame against said no-core coils.

2. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said base frame is a flat bottom cylinder having a bottom plate part abutting against the upper surfaces of said no-core coils and a cylindrical part flexed from a periphery of said flat bottom plate and fitted into said tubular part in the same direction, said board covering the opening of said cylindrical part.

3. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said board is fitted into a cylindrical part.

4. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said fixing part is a burring part for fitting said one end.

5. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said fixing part is a hole into which said one end is inserted.

6. The flat vibration motor as set forth in claim 2 , wherein said fixing part is a concave part for accommodating a wobble preventing circular body into which said one end is inserted.

7. A flat vibration brushless motor comprising:

a shaft;

a stator structure comprising:

a base frame to fix one end of the shaft, the base frame having a cylindrical part extending downward;

bobbin-less no-core coils provided below the base frame;

a board provided at the cylindrical part to enclose the bobbin-less no-core coils, the board having a first face and a second face, said first face being provided with at least one electrode pattern and said second face being provided with a wiring pattern to be connected to said electrode pattern and said no-core coils; and

a rotor frame provided above the stator structure, the rotor frame comprising an axial direction field type rotor magnet and an eccentric weight, the rotor frame rotating via a slide bearing through which the shaft passes; and

a cover case enclosing the rotor frame, the cover case having a tubular part, a bottom part, and an opening closed by the stator structure, wherein the cover case supports the other end of the shaft; and

wherein the base frame is positioned between the no-core coils and the rotor frame, and the base frame abuts the no-core coils.

8. The flat vibration brushless motor as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the base frame ( 14 ) has a bottom plate part abutting against upper surfaces of said no-core coils and the cylindrical part flexed from a periphery of said flat bottom plate, wherein the base frame is fitted into a tubular part of the cover case, said board covering an opening of the cylindrical part.

9. The flat vibration brushless motor as set forth in claim 7 , wherein said board is fitted into a cylindrical part.

10. The flat vibration brushless motor as set forth in claim 7 , wherein the base frame has a fixing part of a burring part for fitting said one end.

11. The flat vibration brushless motor as set forth in claim 10 , wherein said fixing part is a hole into which said one end is inserted.

12. The flat vibration brushless motor as set forth in claim 10 , wherein said fixing part is a concave part for accommodating a wobble preventing circular body into which said one end is inserted.
