The invention discloses a
macro and micro-driving type linear
piezoelectric motor and a driving method thereof, and relates to the field of the
ultrasonic motor and micro driving. The motor comprises a rack, a driving vibrator, an
active cell and a pre-tightening mechanism, wherein the driving vibrator comprises a metallic
elastomer, a micrometric displacement amplification
elastomer and a piezoelectric element; the two symmetrical convex teeth on the inner side of the micrometric displacement amplification
elastomer are in frictional contact with the
active cell; and the piezoelectric element is polarized along the thickness direction. The motor
macro driving method is characterized in that two longitudinal standing
waves of which the
phase difference is 90 degrees, the frequencies are closed, and the type are the same are stimulated by the vibrator under the action of the
alternating current of which the
phase difference is 90 degrees; after the standing
waves are combined, an elliptic movement locus is formed on the convex
tooth part; and under the pre-tightening force action, the
active cell generates the
macro linear movement. According to the micro-driving method, direct-current
high voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element, the vibrator generates static deformation, and the two symmetrical convex teeth on the inner side of the micrometric displacement amplification elastomer clamp the active
cell and the micro linear movement is generated. According to the invention, the macro driving and the micro driving are simultaneously realized on one motor, and the invention has the characteristics of simple structure and reliability in working.
