Embodiment Construction

[0028] Several exemplary embodiments, features, and aspects of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] A vibration-type driving device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is suitable for an ultrasonic linear motor that drives a moving member in contact with the vibrating member using vibration excited in the vibrating member.

[0030] first exemplary embodiment

[0031] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of an ultrasonic linear motor according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the ultrasonic linear motor when viewed in the direction of arrow H in FIG. 1 . The ultrasonic linear motor includes a vibrating member 3 formed of a rectangular flat plate material and a slider 4 (ie, a sliding member) that moves relative to the vibrating member 3 . The ultrasonic linear motor also includes a plur...

Abstract

A vibration type driving apparatus includes a vibrating member configured to simultaneously generate a plurality of standing wave vibrations to cause an elliptic motion on surfaces located at nodes of the standing wave vibration, a driving unit formed on the surface located at the node to perform the elliptic motion, and a moving member configured to contact the driving unit and to be driven by the elliptic motion. The driving unit protrudes from a surface of the vibrating member, and includes a first driving unit and a second driving unit that are formed to sandwich the moving member in a perpendicular direction to the surface. The first driving unit and the second driving unit are located at the nodes that are separated by odd-number times a half-wave length of the standing wave vibration, and located where the directions of the elliptic motions are opposite to each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vibration type driving device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is an ultrasonic motor of a vibration-type drive device that linearly drives a driven member. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-311765 discusses an ultrasonic motor that excites a plate-like vibrating member with a standing wave having two bending modes to generate elliptical vibration at a predetermined portion of the vibrating member. The ultrasonic motor drives the moving member by bringing the moving member into contact with a predetermined portion. [0003] Also, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-304887 discusses an ultrasonic motor that generates standing waves having two bending modes at right angles to each other to excite a vibrating member having a protrusion having a convex portion. In this configuration, an elliptical motion generated by the synthesis of the two bending modes drives the moving member. [0004...
