Abstract

A vibration motor includes a housing; a vibration module including a main magnet and a central shaft extending along a vibration direction and passing through a center of the main magnet; a fixing module located in the housing and including a first coil and a second coil spaced from the main magnet; an elastic connecting part suspending the vibration module in the housing; and a sensor for detecting a displacement of the vibration module along a direction perpendicular to the central shaft. The first coil and the second coil are such arranged that a geometric center of one of the first coil and the second coil deviates from the central shaft, a geometric center of the other of the first coil and the second coil deviates from the central shaft, and the two geometric centers locate at two opposed sides of the central shaft.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration motor including:
a housing;
a vibration module including a main magnet and a central shaft extending along a vibration direction and passing through a center of the main magnet;
a fixing module located in the housing and including a first coil and a second coil spaced from the main magnet;
an elastic connecting part suspending the vibration module in the housing;
a sensor for detecting a displacement of the vibration module along a direction perpendicular to the central shaft; wherein
the first coil and the second coil are such arranged that a geometric center of one of the first coil and the second coil deviates from the central shaft, a geometric center of the other of the first coil and the second coil deviates from the central shaft, and the two geometric centers locate at two opposed sides of the central shaft.

2. The vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the first coil is provided with a first central line parallel to the vibration direction and the second coil is provided with a second central line parallel to the vibration direction, the first central line and the second central line locate respectively at different sides of the central shaft.

3. The vibration motor as described in claim 2 , wherein a distance from the first central line to the central shaft is the same as a distance from the second central line to the central shaft.

4. The vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the sensor includes a first hall sensor and a second hall sensor, the first hall sensor and the second hall sensor locate symmetrically to the central shaft.

5. The vibration motor as described in claim 4 , wherein the vibration module further includes a weight, the main magnet is accommodated in the weight, and the first hall sensor and the second hall sensor are arranged at same side of the weight.

6. The vibration motor as described in claim 4 , wherein the housing includes a housing body and a cover plate forming an accommodation space with the housing body, and, the first hall sensor and the second hall sensor are installed on the housing or the cover plate.

7. The vibration motor as described in claim 6 , wherein the fixing module also includes a circuit board fixed on the cover plate, and the circuit board is provided with four soldering pads for controlling and connecting electrically the first coil and the second coil.

8. The vibration motor as described in claim 4 , wherein the housing is further provided with an auxiliary magnet near the first hall sensor and the second hall sensor.

9. The vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a laser sensor or a displacement sensor.
