Abstract

A linear vibration motor is disclosed. The linear vibration motor, includes a housing provided with an accommodation space; a vibrator accommodated in the accommodation space; and an electromagnet accommodated in the accommodation space. The vibrator includes a weight having a through-hole and a plurality of permanent magnets engaging with an inner wall of the through-hole. A number of elastic connecting parts are accommodated in the accommodation space, one end of the elastic connecting part connected with the housing and the other end connected with the weight for suspending the vibrator in the accommodation space. The electromagnet includes an iron core and a coil around the iron core for producing magnet fields interacting with the permanent magnets further for producing attracting and repelling force to drive the vibrator to vibrate.

Claims (12)

1. A linear vibration motor, comprising:

a housing provided with an accommodation space;

a vibrator accommodated in the accommodation space, the vibrator including a weight having a through-hole and a plurality of permanent magnets engaging with an inner wall of the through-hole;

an electromagnet accommodated in the accommodation space, the electromagnet being located in the through-hole and separated from the permanent magnets;

a plurality of elastic connecting parts accommodated in the accommodation space, one end of the elastic connecting part connected with the housing and the other end connected with the weight for suspending the vibrator in the accommodation space; wherein

the electromagnet includes an iron core and a coil around the iron core for producing magnet fields interacting with the permanent magnets further for producing attracting and repelling force to drive the vibrator to vibrate.

2. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the through-hole is provided with a first inner wall for fixing a first permanent magnet and a second inner wall for fixing a first permanent magnet, correspondingly, the iron core has a first end opposite to a magnetic pole of the first permanent magnet and a second end opposite to a magnetic pole of the second permanent magnet, the polarity of the magnetic pole of the first permanent magnet facing the first end of the iron core is the same to the polarity of the magnetic pole of the second permanent magnet facing the second end of the iron core.

3. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 2 , wherein the first inner wall is provided with a first mounting groove for fixing the first permanent magnet.

4. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 3 , wherein the second inner wall is provided with a second mounting groove for fixing the second permanent magnet.

5. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet is fixed on the inner wall of the through hole by soldering or adhesive bonding.

6. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein two ends of the coil along an axis thereof are aligned with two ends of the iron core.

7. The linear vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a housing body having a side wall and a bottom wall, and a cover plate engaging with the housing body for forming the accommodation space, one end of the elastic connecting part is connected with the housing body and the other end is connected with the weight.
