Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In current touchscreen consumer electronics products, such as mobile phones, tablets, and handheld game consoles, linear motors are commonly used for vibration and haptic feedback. Linear motors with damped elastic arms offer significantly better instantaneous braking compared to traditional linear motors with metal elastic arms. Another advantage of linear motors with damped elastic arms is their wider frequency band, allowing for a richer vibration experience; however, their maximum acceleration is significantly reduced.

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.
[0018] like Figures 1-4 The linear motor shown includes a stator 2 and a mover 1, and also includes a composite lever arm; the composite lever arm is connected to the mover 1 and the stator 2 respectively; the composite lever arm includes a metal elastic arm 4 and a damping elastic arm 3; the metal elastic arm 4 and the damping elastic arm 3 work together on the stator and the mover; the number of metal elastic arms and damping elastic arms can be adjusted proportionally according to actual needs, and the fixed positions of the metal elastic arms and damping elastic arms can also be changed according to actual needs.
[0019] In this embodiment, the damping elastic arm 3 is disposed on the middle side of the linear motor, and the metal elastic arm 4 is disposed on the end side of the linear motor.
[0020] There are two damping elastic arms 3, which are respectively disposed on the middle side of the linear motor. The damping elastic arm 3 has a first horizontal part 31, a second horizontal part 32 and a vertical part 33. The first horizontal part 31 is connected to the mover 1, the second horizontal part 32 is connected to the stator 2, and the vertical part 33 connects the first horizontal part 31 and the second horizontal part 32.
[0021] There are four metal elastic arms 4, which are respectively disposed on the end side of the linear motor. The metal elastic arm 4 includes a first connecting part 41, a bending part 43 and a second connecting part 42. The first connecting part 41 is connected to the mover 1, the second connecting part 42 is connected to the stator 2, and the bending part 43 connects the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42.
[0022] Two types of elastic arms can be like Figures 1-2 The two structures shown are fixed to the mover and stator respectively using a separate structure. According to other embodiments, the metal elastic arm and the damping elastic arm can also be combined into an integral structure by means of bonding or injection molding vulcanization, and then fixed to the stator and mover.
[0023] This solution combines a metal elastic arm and a damping elastic arm. Calculations comparing a motor with a composite lever arm and one with a metal elastic lever arm revealed that the acceleration Gpp decreased from 17.1 to 15.7, a reduction of only 8%. Therefore, the stopping time was defined as the time required for the acceleration to decay to 10% of its maximum amplitude. Under this standard, the composite lever arm exhibited a significant advantage in instantaneous stopping, with a stopping time of only 0.016 seconds, nearly half that of the 0.03 seconds required by the metal elastic lever arm motor.
[0024] Furthermore, a comparative test was conducted on the horn of the pure damping elastic arm. The results showed that the horn's stopping time was 0.012 seconds. Although the stopping time of the composite arm was 33% longer, the composite arm achieved a significant 100% improvement in acceleration, outperforming the pure damping motor. In conclusion, the composite arm significantly shortened the stopping time while maintaining relatively low acceleration loss and achieved a substantial improvement in acceleration performance, demonstrating excellent overall performance.
[0025] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model. Various examples and illustrations do not constitute a limitation on the substantive content of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make modifications or variations to the above-described specific embodiments after reading the description without departing from the essence and scope of the utility model.
