Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic exciters, and in particular relates to an electromagnetic excitation device. Background Art

[0002] Electronic products such as mobile phones, tablet computers or handheld game consoles usually have vibration motors inside to provide tactile feedback to users.

[0003] Currently, mobile consumer electronic products on the market generally use vibration motors as system feedback components, such as incoming call notifications on mobile phones, vibration feedback on game consoles, etc.

[0004] However, the traditional vibration motor drives the entire consumer electronic product such as a mobile phone or tablet to vibrate, and the overall vibration enhances the vibration sensation externally. This mode cannot achieve the individual vibration of the physical buttons (side buttons) on the electronic product.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electromagnetic excitation device that can provide a separate vibration sense to the physical key, and will not cause the entire electronic product to vibrate when vibrating, so as to achieve a real touch of the key. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the utility model provides an electromagnetic excitation device, which has the characteristics of providing a separate vibration sense to a physical key, and will not drive the entire electronic product to vibrate when vibrating, thus achieving a real touch of the key.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an electromagnetic excitation device, comprising a housing, a spring sheet and an FPC board, wherein both ends of the spring sheet are connected to the housing, a gasket is connected to one side of the housing located on the spring sheet, a stator assembly is connected to the side of the gasket close to the spring sheet, the stator assembly comprises a coil, a first iron core is connected to the side of the spring sheet close to the stator assembly, and the FPC board comprises a pressure-sensing connection part and a coil connection part, wherein the pressure-sensing connection part is connected to the spring sheet, and the coil connection part is connected to the coil.

[0008] In order to increase the weight and thus provide an excellent touch, in addition, the spring sheet is sandwiched between the first iron core so that the boundary condition of the spring sheet is stable, thereby ensuring a stable frequency. Further, a counterweight block is connected to the other side of the spring sheet.

[0009] In order to provide a bonding surface for the coil and increase the driving force to ensure vibration, the stator assembly further includes a lower bracket, wherein the coil is arranged inside the lower bracket, and the lower bracket is a magnetic conductive component.

[0010] In order to increase the driving force and ensure the vibration sense, further, a second iron core penetrating the lower bracket is provided inside the coil.

[0011] In order to enable the gasket to be stamped and formed, thereby effectively reducing the production cost, the gasket further includes a first gasket and a second gasket, wherein the first gasket is connected to one side of the second gasket.

[0012] In order to allow the second iron core to pass through the second gasket and contact the first gasket, the first gasket provides a bonding surface for the second iron core, and further, a through groove is provided on the second gasket.

[0013] In order to provide an area for glue overflow and increase the feasibility and stability of glue control, further, the width of the second gasket is smaller than that of the first gasket.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The utility model is installed on the middle frame by screws, and the key cap is installed on the spring sheet. In the working state, when the key cap is pressed, the pressure sensor on the pressure sensing connection part generates a signal, so that the coil is energized to generate a periodic electromagnetic attraction to the first iron core, thereby providing a separate vibration sense to the physical key;

[0016] 2. The utility model generates periodic electromagnetic attraction by energizing the coil, which acts on the first iron core, and reciprocates under the action of the spring sheet, without the need for permanent magnets, thereby effectively reducing production costs;

[0017] 3. The coil of the utility model is located on the stator assembly and does not participate in the movement, which greatly increases the reliability of the coil power supply;

[0018] 4. When the utility model is used, the finger needs to press the key cap, which plays a damping role, thereby achieving the effect of quick start and stop;

[0019] 5. The pressure-sensing connection part and the coil connection part of the utility model are designed on one FPC board, which makes the process more convenient, stable and reliable;

[0020] 6. The utility model increases the weight by the counterweight block, thereby providing an excellent touch. In addition, the counterweight block and the first iron core sandwich the spring sheet in the middle, so that the boundary conditions of the spring sheet are stable, thereby ensuring a stable frequency;

[0021] 7. The utility model divides the gasket into a first gasket and a second gasket. The first gasket and the second gasket are bonded by glue, so that the gasket can be stamped and formed, thereby effectively reducing the production cost;

[0022] 8. The width of the second gasket of the utility model is smaller than that of the first gasket, so that there is an area of ​​glue overflow when the lower bracket or the first gasket is bonded to the second gasket, which increases the feasibility and stability of glue control, makes the glue bonding more reliable and controlled, and does not affect the subsequent welding process of the first gasket and the casing.

[0039] Specifically, a counterweight block 21 is welded on the other side of the spring sheet 2 by laser welding. The counterweight block 21 is a plate or a powder metallurgy part. In this embodiment, a plate is preferred.
