DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings and embodiment thereof.


Referring to FIGS. 1-5, a vibrating motor 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. The vibrating motor 100 includes a housing 10 providing an accommodating space 13, a vibrator 20, a stator 30 received in the accommodating space 13, and an elastic member 40 suspending the vibrator 20 elastically in the accommodating space 13.


As illustrated in FIG. 4-5, the housing is configured to be a cuboid in shape, including a cover 11 having an opening and a base 12 sealing the opening of the cover 11, the cover 11 and the base 12 defines the accommodating space 13, the vibrator 20 is fixed on the cover 11. Specifically, the cover 11 includes an upper wall 111 opposite to the base 12 and a plurality of sidewalls bending and extending from the upper wall 111, the vibrator is configured to be a rectangular frame structure, the plurality of sidewalls includes a first sidewall 112 located at both sides of the vibrator 20 along a length direction, and a second sidewall 113 located at both sides of the vibrator 20 along a width direction.


In the present embodiment, the vibrator 20 includes a weight 21 providing a receiving groove 211, and a magnet 22 assembling with the receiving groove 211, the stator 30 includes a circuit board 31 fixing on the base 12 and a coils 32 assembling while electrically connecting with the circuit board 31, the coils 32 received in the receiving groove 211 in part and coupled with the magnet 22. The weight 21 is suspending by the elastic member 40 elastically, while the weigh 21 can be driven to vibrates linearly due to the interaction between the magnet 22 and the coils 32, the elastic member 40 provides elastic recovery force for the vibrator 20 to return to an initial position, and guides vibrate direction. The circuit board 31 is connecting with external power and supplies the coils 32 electrical.


The receiving groove 211 runs through the weight 21, the magnet 22 includes two, two of the magnet 22 is are set symmetrically with respect to the coils 32, and two of the magnet 22 are magnetize opposite along the vibrated direction, so the interaction between the coils 32 and the magnet 22 becomes stronger, and the vibrating motor 100 can achieved a stronger feedback. Furthermore, the coils 32 can received in the receiving groove 211 while the base 12 assemble with the cover 11, the assembly and alignment procedure has been optimized to save the cost of production.


Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the elastic member 40 includes two. Two of the elastic member are symmetry with respect to a geometric center of the vibrator 20, and are located on both sides of the vibrator 20 along the vibrate direction.


The elastic member 40 includes an elastic arm 43, a first fastening portion 41 and a second fastening portion 42 bending and extending towards a same side of the elastic arm 43 from both ends of the elastic arm 43 respectively, the first fastening portion 41 is fixed on the vibrator 20 while the second fastening portion 42 is fixed on the cover 11, the vibrator 20 is sandwiched between the first fastening portion 41 and the second fastening portion 42. As the first fastening portion 41 and the second fastening portion 42 are both bending from the elastic arm 43, the length of the elastic arm 43 is being used effectively, and the force moment of the elastic member 40 has been elongated to reduce the stress that the elastic member suffered, which extending the service life of the elastic member 40.


Furthermore, since the elastic member 40 of the present embodiment is only fastened to the cover 11 of the housing 10, it avoid the problem of the typical vibrating motor when soldering the elastic member to two separate parts of the shell, the assembling procedure has been optimized.


The elastic member formed as U-shape in general, and the elastic arm 43 is connecting with the first fastening portion 41 and the second fastening portion 42 in an arc, the vibrator 20 is suspending in the accommodating space 13 through the elastic arm 43.


The first fastening portion 41 soldered on a side of the weight 21 along a length direction, and the second fastening portion 42 soldered on the first sidewall 112 which is away from the side of the weight 21, and two of the elastic member 40 are symmetry with respect to a geometric center of the vibrator 20 for avoiding polarization of vibrator 20.


In order to prevent impacting between the elastic member 40 and the vibrator 20, the elastic arm 43 forming an obtuse angle against the first fastening portion 41 while forming an acute angle against the second fastening portion 43, and the first fastening portion 41 is parallel with the second fastening portion 42. Moreover, the vibrator 20 chamfered corresponding to where the elastic arm 43 and the first fasten portion 41 connecting, so the space for vibrate is enlarged.


In the present embodiment, the elastic member 40 is configured to be an metal plate with an through hole 44, and the through hole 44 extending from the first fastening portion 41 to the second portion 42, the through hole 44 can increase the elastic force of the elastic member 40, and can avoiding the impact between the elastic member and the coils 32.


As illustrated in FIG. 4-5, an fixed plate 421 soldering on a side of the second fastening portion 42 away from the cover 11, and the fixed plate 421 is configured to covered the through hole 44 in part. The fixed plate 421 enhances the binding strength of second fastening portion 42 and the cover 11, and preventing the situation of sealing-off.


It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present embodiment have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiment, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
