Vibration generator moving vibrator by magnetic field generated by coil and vibrator-mounted holder used in vibration-generator
A vibrator-mounted holder is attached to a casing of a vibration generator which moves a vibrator to generate a vibration when used. The vibrator-mounted holder includes a vibrator, a vibrator retention unit retaining the vibrator, a fixing unit fixed to a casing, and an arm. The vibrator includes a magnet having a plate shape parallel to a horizontal surface and a yoke arranged on the magnet. The arm connects the fixing unit to the vibrator retention unit, and supports the vibrator retention unit in a manner that the vibrator retention unit is displaceable with respect to the fixing unit. The yoke has a projecting portion which is projected downward and fixed to the vibrator retention unit. The arm is connected to a portion, at which the projecting portion is arranged, within the vibrator retention units.
1. A vibration generator comprising:
a frame including an upper surface and a side surface;
a bottom plate;
a vibrator;
a coil;
a retention unit; and
an arm connecting the vibrator and the frame via the retention unit,
wherein the vibrator is displaceably supported by the arm with respect to the frame,
a first portion of the retention unit is formed with metal and a second portion of the retention unit is formed with resin, the first portion of the retention unit formed with the metal and the second portion of the retention unit formed with the resin are aligned in a vibrating direction of the vibrator,
a side portion of the vibrator is supported by the second portion of the retention unit formed with the resin in the vibrating direction of the vibrator, and
the metal of the first portion extends from the upper surface of the frame to the bottom plate.
2. The vibrator generator according to claim 1 , wherein the retention unit bulges from the arm towards the side portion of the vibrator in a vibrating direction of the vibrator.
3. A vibration generator comprising:
an external form including an upper surface and a side surface configured by a frame and a bottom surface;
a vibrator;
a coil;
a retention unit; and
an arm connecting the vibrator and the frame via the retention unit,
wherein the vibrator is displaceably supported by the arm with respect to the frame,
a first portion of the retention unit is formed with metal and a second portion of the retention unit is formed with resin, the first portion of the retention unit formed with the metal and the second portion of the retention unit formed with the resin are aligned in a vibrating direction of the vibrator,
a side portion of the vibrator is supported by the second portion of the retention unit formed with the resin in the vibrating direction of the vibrator, and
the metal of the first portion extends from the upper surface of the external form to the bottom surface of the external form.
4. The vibrator generator according to claim 1 , wherein the retention unit bulges from the arm towards the side portion of the vibrator in a vibrating direction of the vibrator.
