The present disclosure relates to motors, in particular to a vibration motor for providing tactile feedback.
With the rapid development of electronic technology, portable consumer electronic products, such as mobile phones, handheld game consoles, navigation devices, or handheld multimedia entertainment devices, are becoming more and more popular. These electronic products generally use linear motors for system feedback, such as mobile phone call prompts, information prompts, navigation prompts, and vibration feedback of game consoles.
The linear vibration motor in the prior art usually includes a housing with an accommodation space, a vibrator accommodated in the accommodation space, a stator and an elastic component that supports the vibrator. The stator includes an iron core, a coil provided outside the iron core, and a magnetic yoke provided at both ends of the iron core. The traditional yoke is flat. When the stator and the magnet are displaced relative to each other, there will be a difference between the yoke and the magnet pole surface. This leads to a difference between the static suction of the yoke and the two-pole magnet, and the difference shows a negative stiffness related to the relative displacement.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new linear vibration motor to solve the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.
One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a vibration motor which improves stability of the whole system and reduces negative stiffness.
To achieve the above-mentioned objects, the present invention provides a vibration motor having a housing with an accommodation space; a stator having an iron core, a coil set around the iron core, and a yoke disposed on both ends of the iron core; and a vibrator accommodated in the accommodation space.
The vibrator includes a magnetic circuit system having a magnet group arranged at two ends of the stator, and a pole plate arranged at a side of the magnet group away from the stator. The vibration motor further comprises an elastic support member supporting the vibrator, and an interval between the stator and the magnet group. The yoke is opposite to the magnet group, and includes a groove formed from a surface opposite to the magnet group away from the magnet group.
Further, the two yokes are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the iron core.
Further, the groove is formed by a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface connecting to and symmetrical with the first inclined surface.
Further, the groove is V-shaped.
Further, the magnet group includes a first magnet and a second magnet parallel to the first magnet; the first and second magnets have opposite magnetic poles; a projection of the groove on the magnet group along a vibration direction falls on the first magnet and the second magnet.
Further, the vibrator further includes a weight with a through hole for receiving the magnetic circuit system with the pole plate attached to an inner surface of the through hole.
Further, the elastic support member includes a pair of elastic support arms surrounding the weight and respectively fixedly connected with the housing and the weight for suspending the weight in the accommodation space.
Further, the housing includes a bottom plate and an upper cover cooperatively forming the accommodation space; while the bottom plate includes a position limiting block corresponding to the elastic support member.
Further, an amount of the position limiting block is two; the two position limiting blocks are corresponding to the elastic support arm.
Further, the elastic support arm has a position avoiding part corresponding to the position limiting block.
Many aspects of the exemplary embodiments can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. The components in the drawing are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the present disclosure.
The present disclosure will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments. To make the technical problems to be solved, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure is described in further detail together with the figures and the embodiments. It should be understood the specific embodiments described hereby is only to explain the disclosure, not intended to limit the disclosure.

Compared with the related art, the linear vibration motor 100 of the present invention is provided with a groove 331 on the yoke 33 at both ends of the iron core 31. The groove 331 is arranged opposite to the magnet group. In this way, during the vibration of the linear vibration motor 100, when the stator 3 and the magnet group are displaced relative to each other, it is ensured that the area of the yoke 33 facing the magnet group is almost unchanged. Furthermore, there is almost no difference between the static suction of the yoke 33 and the two magnet groups, which can effectively reduce the negative stiffness.
It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present exemplary embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structures and functions of the embodiments, 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 where the appended claims are expressed.
