Furthermore, a portion of the second circuit board 7 is located outside the receiving cavity.

[0043] The first circuit board 6 is electrically connected to the first surface and the second surface of the first electrically actuated vibrating piece 21, respectively, and is used to apply a voltage to the first surface and the second surface of the first electrically actuated vibrating piece 21, thereby deforming the first electrically actuated vibrating piece 21 and obtaining a driving force that drives the weight 3 to move, and the first circuit board 6 is electrically connected to the first surface and the second surface of the second electrically actuated vibrating piece 22, respectively, thereby deforming the second electrically actuated vibrating piece 22 and obtaining a driving force that drives the weight 3 to move.

[0044] The second circuit board 7 is electrically connected to the first surface and the second surface of the third electrically actuated vibrating piece 41, respectively, and is used to apply a voltage to the first surface and the second surface of the third electrically actuated vibrating piece 41, thereby deforming the third electrically actuated vibrating piece 41 and obtaining a driving force that drives the weight 3 to move, and the second circuit board 7 is electrically connected to the first surface and the second surface of the fourth electrically actuated vibrating piece 42, respectively, thereby deforming the fourth electrically actuated vibrating piece 42 and obtaining a driving force that drives the weight 3 to move.

[0045] The polarities of the first surface voltages applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 are the same, and the polarities of the second surface voltages applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 are the same. Thus, since the deformation directions of the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 are the same, the direction of the generated driving force is the same, and the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 drive the weight 3 to move along the same direction.

[0046] The first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 drive the weight 3 to move along the same direction by the action of the polarity of the voltage on the first surface and the polarity of the voltage on the second surface, respectively. Since the deformation direction generated by the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 due to the action of the polarity of the voltage on its first surface and the polarity of the voltage on its second surface, and the deformation direction generated by the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 due to the action of the polarity of the voltage on its first surface and the polarity of the voltage on its second surface, are the same, the direction of the generated driving force is the same, and the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 drive the weight 3 to move along the same direction.

[0047] As shown in FIG. 3 , in one embodiment of the present application, the motor further includes a first gasket 8 and a second gasket 9, and the first electrically actuated vibrating arm 21 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 6 on the upper casing 11 by the first gasket 8, and similarly, the second electrically actuated vibrating arm 22 is electrically connected to the first circuit board 6 on the upper casing 11 by the second gasket 9.

When the first gasket 8 and the first circuit board 6 are electrically connected, the polarities of the voltages applied to the first upper gasket and the first lower gasket are reversed, and therefore the polarities of the voltages applied to the first and second surfaces of the first electrically actuated vibrating piece 21 are reversed, causing the first electrically actuated vibrating piece 21 to deform and drive the weight 3 to move.

[0049] Similarly, the second gasket 9 and the first end of the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 are connected by welding or adhesive bonding, and the second gasket 9 may include a second upper gasket and a second lower gasket, which respectively contact the first and second surfaces of the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22. When the second gasket 9 and the first circuit board 6 are electrically connected, the polarities of the voltages applied to the second upper gasket and the second lower gasket are reversed, and therefore the polarities of the voltages applied to the first and second surfaces of the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 are reversed, causing the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 to deform and drive the weight 3 to move.

When the third gasket and the second circuit board 7 are electrically connected, the polarities of the voltages applied to the third upper gasket and the third lower gasket are reversed, and therefore the polarities of the voltages applied to the first and second surfaces of the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 are reversed, causing the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41 to deform and drive the weight 3 to move.

[0052] Similarly, the fourth gasket and the first end of the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 are connected by welding, adhesive bonding, or other methods. The fourth gasket may include a fourth upper gasket and a fourth lower gasket, which respectively contact the first and second surfaces of the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42. When the fourth gasket and the second circuit board 7 are electrically connected, the polarities of the voltages applied to the fourth upper gasket and the fourth lower gasket are reversed, and therefore the polarities of the voltages applied to the first and second surfaces of the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 are reversed, causing the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 to deform and drive the weight 3 to move.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 4 , in one embodiment of the present application, the motor further includes a first damper member 10A and a second damper member 10B, where the first damper member 10A is installed in a fifth region of the upper casing 11, and the second damper member 10B is installed in a sixth region of the upper casing 11; The vertical projection of the boundary line of the first surface of the weight 3 onto the upper casing 11 partially overlaps with the fifth region, and the vertical projection of the boundary line of the first surface of the weight 3 onto the upper casing 11 partially overlaps with the sixth region. Thus, when the weight 3 moves toward the upper casing 11, the first damper member 10A and the second damper member 10B play a role in collision avoidance, preventing the weight from colliding with the upper casing 11 and damaging the motor, and also reducing the noise generated when the weight collides with the upper casing 11.

[0054] Similarly, the motor further includes a third damper member and a fourth damper member, the third damper member being disposed in a seventh region of the lower casing 12, and the fourth damper member being disposed in an eighth region of the lower casing 12; The vertical projection of the boundary line of the second surface of the weight 3 on the lower casing 12 partially overlaps with the seventh region, and the vertical projection of the boundary line of the second surface of the weight 3 on the lower casing 12 partially overlaps with the eighth region. Thus, when the weight 3 moves toward the lower casing 12, the third damper member and the fourth damper member play a collision avoidance role, preventing the weight from colliding with the lower casing 12 and damaging the motor, and also reducing the noise generated when the weight collides with the lower casing 12.

[0055] The first damper member 10A may be made of damping foam, whose dynamic properties change very little with temperature, ensuring stable operation of the motor under high and low temperature conditions with little change in vibration sensation and avoiding noise caused by excessive displacement of the weight 3 colliding with the upper casing 11 and the lower casing 12. The second, third and fourth damper members may be made of damping foam.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, the motor further includes a first bracket and a second bracket, the first bracket is connected to the first electrically actuated vibrating arm 21, and the second bracket is connected to the second electrically actuated vibrating arm 22; The first electrically actuated vibrating piece 21 is fixedly connected to a first region of the weight 3 by the first bracket, and the second electrically actuated vibrating piece 22 is fixedly connected to a second region of the weight 3 by the second bracket.

The first bracket and the second bracket can be made of inexpensive insulating material so as to save the amount of electrically actuated vibrating bars used and reduce the cost of the motor.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 are both ion-conductive vibrating bars; When the voltages applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 are both a first voltage, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 drive the weight 3 to move along a first direction; When the voltage applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 is a second voltage, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 drive the weight 3 to move along a second direction; Here, the polarities of the first voltage and the second voltage are opposite, and the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions. That is, the first direction and the second direction are opposite directions, and by alternately applying voltages of opposite polarities to the ion conductive vibrating reed, the ion conductive vibrating reed drives the weight 3 to move alternately along the first direction and the second direction, thereby generating a sense of vibration.

[0059] Furthermore, when a voltage applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 is a first voltage, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 drive the weight 3 to move a first distance along a first direction; When the voltage applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 is a third voltage, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 drive the weight 3 to move a second distance along a first direction; Here, the first voltage and the third voltage have the same polarity, and the third voltage is greater than the first voltage, and the first distance and the second distance are different. Here, the first voltage and the third voltage have the same polarity, and the third voltage is greater than the first voltage, and the first distance and the second distance are different, for example, the second distance may be greater than the first distance. When the weight 3 needs to move a relatively large distance, the weight 3 can be driven to move a relatively large distance by applying a relatively large voltage to the ion conductive vibrating reed. When the weight 3 needs to move a relatively small distance, the weight 3 can be driven to move a relatively small distance by applying a relatively small voltage to the ion conductive vibrating reed. There is a correspondence between the magnitude of the voltage applied to the ion conductive vibrating reed and the movement distance of the weight 3. Once the distance the weight 3 needs to move is determined, the magnitude of the voltage applied to the ion conductive vibrating reed can be determined according to this correspondence.

[0060] As shown in FIG. 5, the ion-conductive vibrating piece includes a first electrode layer 101, an ion-exchange resin layer 102, and a second electrode layer 103, which are stacked in this order. The ion-exchange resin layer 102 contains a polymer electrolyte. The ion-conductive vibrating piece may be made of an ion-exchange polymer metal composite (IPMC). IPMC materials are novel electrically active functional materials that use an ion-exchange resin layer (e.g., a fluorocarbon polymer) as a substrate. The substrate surface is plated with a precious metal (e.g., platinum, silver, etc.) to form electrode layers, i.e., the first electrode layer 101 and the second electrode layer 103. The ion-exchange resin layer 102 contains a polymer electrolyte containing cations and anions. The positions and numbers of the cations and anions in FIG. 5 are merely illustrative and do not represent actual conditions. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, when a voltage is applied to the IPMC in the thickness direction, the hydrated cations in the polymer electrolyte migrate to the cathode side, causing swelling and a difference between the anode and cathode sides of the IPMC, which causes it to deform and bend toward the anode side. In this way, the degree of bending of the IPMC can be controlled by controlling the voltage or current applied to the IPMC, and the IPMC can be displaced laterally.

[0061] IPMC material is a new actuation material with advantages such as light actuation mass, large displacement and deformation, and low actuation voltage. The advantages of using IPMC are obvious: IPMC is a non-magnetic material and does not generate magnetic interference. The displacement and speed due to IPMC deformation decrease in proportion to the thickness of the IPMC, while the force due to IPMC deformation increases in proportion to the cube of the thickness of the IPMC. Therefore, the thickness of the IPMC can be set according to the actual situation to achieve the required displacement, speed, and force due to IPMC deformation.

[0062] By applying a voltage to the ion-conductive vibrating reed, cations in the polymer electrolyte migrate to the cathode side, causing swelling and a difference between the front and back surfaces of the ion-conductive vibrating reed. This difference deforms the ion-conductive vibrating reed, allowing the direction of the voltage applied to the ion-conductive vibrating reed to be alternated. By alternating the direction of deformation of the ion-conductive vibrating reed, the weight 3 is moved alternately, generating a vibration sensation. The vibration amplitude may be 0.1 mm to 10 mm, and can be controlled by adjusting the thickness of the ion-conductive vibrating reed and the magnitude of the current flowing through the ion-conductive vibrating reed.

[0063] As shown in Figure 6, this is a schematic diagram of the cation distribution in the ion conductive vibrating piece when a positive current is passed through the ion conductive vibrating piece, where the cations move to the cathode side of the ion conductive vibrating piece, the ion conductive vibrating piece moves upward, and the weight 3 moves upward. The direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 6 is the movement direction of the ion conductive vibrating piece.

[0064] Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of the cation distribution in the ion conductive vibrator reed when a negative current is applied to the reed. The cations move toward the cathode of the reed, causing the reed to move downward, displacing the weight 3. The arrow in Figure 7 indicates the direction of movement of the reed. When a voltage is applied to the reed, the cations in the polymer electrolyte of the reed move toward the cathode, causing swelling and distorting the front and back surfaces of the reed, deforming the reed. When AC power is applied to the reed, the reed vibrates the weight 3, generating a sense of vibration.

[0065] Furthermore, when a voltage applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 is a first voltage, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 drive the weight 3 at a first rate to move along a first direction; When the voltage applied to the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 is a third voltage, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21 and the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22 drive the weight 3 at a second rate to move along a first direction; Here, the first voltage and the third voltage have the same polarity, the third voltage is greater than the first voltage, and the first rate and the second rate are different. For example, the second rate may be smaller than the first rate. If a relatively high movement rate of the weight 3 is required, the weight 3 can be driven to move at a relatively high rate by applying a relatively high voltage to the ion conductive vibrating reed. If a relatively low movement rate of the weight 3 is required, the weight 3 can be driven to move at a relatively low rate by applying a relatively low voltage to the ion conductive vibrating reed. There is a correspondence between the magnitude of the voltage applied to the ion conductive vibrating reed and the movement rate of the weight 3. Once the rate at which the weight 3 needs to move is determined, the magnitude of the voltage applied to the ion conductive vibrating reed can be determined according to this correspondence.

[0066] Furthermore, the first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41, and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 are all ion-conductive vibrating bars, each including a first electrode layer, an ion-exchange resin layer, and a second electrode layer stacked in this order, with a polymer electrolyte in the ion-exchange resin layer. The first electrically actuated vibrating bar 21, the second electrically actuated vibrating bar 22, the third electrically actuated vibrating bar 41, and the fourth electrically actuated vibrating bar 42 exert forces on the weight 3 in the same direction, for example, in the first direction or the second direction, and move the weight 3 together.

[0067] In Figure 8, the first electrically actuated vibration piece 21, the second electrically actuated vibration piece 22, the third electrically actuated vibration piece 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibration piece 42 move the weight 3 in a first direction, and the movement direction is as shown by the arrow in Figure 8, and in Figure 9, the first electrically actuated vibration piece 21, the second electrically actuated vibration piece 22, the third electrically actuated vibration piece 41 and the fourth electrically actuated vibration piece 42 move the weight 3 in a second direction, and the movement direction is as shown by the arrow in Figure 9.
