Abstract

A linear vibration motor includes a base with an accommodation space, a vibration unit and two elastic parts fixed respectively on the opposite ends of the vibration unit. The elastic parts include a main elastic part and an auxiliary elastic part. The auxiliary elastic part includes a first auxiliary elastic part and a second auxiliary elastic part which are fixed respectively on the opposite sides of the vibration unit and the base which are parallel to the vibration direction of the vibration unit. Compared with the related technology, the liner vibration motor of the present disclosure has a good performance and a high reliability.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A linear vibration motor, comprising:
a base with an accommodation space;
a vibration unit located in the accommodation space;
a plurality of groups of elastic parts located between the vibration unit and the base for elastically suspending the vibration unit, the elastic parts being symmetrically arranged with regard to the vibration unit, each group of the elastic parts including:
a main elastic part having one end fixed to the vibration unit, and another end fixed to a side of the base which is vertical to a vibration direction of the vibration unit;
an auxiliary elastic part including a first auxiliary elastic part and a second auxiliary elastic part, one end of the first auxiliary elastic part fixed on the vibration unit, the other end of the first auxiliary elastic part fixed on a side of the base which is parallel to the vibration direction; one end of the second auxiliary elastic part fixed on the vibration unit, and another end fixed on another side of the base which is parallel to the vibration direction of the vibration unit;
wherein
the structure of the first auxiliary elastic part is identical to the structure of the second auxiliary elastic part, and the first and second auxiliary elastic parts are symmetrically arranged with regard to an axis where the main elastic part is located;
the first auxiliary elastic part includes a fixing part, an elastic part extending from the fixing part, and a connection part extending from the elastic part, one end of the fixing part fixed on the base, one end of the connection part fixed on the vibration unit;
the elastic part extending from the fixing part is an arc-shape structure protruding along the vibration direction of the vibration unit.

2. The liner vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the elastic part extending from the fixing part protrudes along the vibration direction toward the base.

3. The liner vibration motor as described in claim 2 , wherein the first auxiliary elastic part forms an integral structure with the second auxiliary elastic part, the main elastic part is pressed under the connection part.

4. The liner vibration motor as described in claim 2 , wherein the first auxiliary elastic part forms a split structure with the second auxiliary elastic part which is set with intervals, the main elastic part is located between the first auxiliary elastic part and the second auxiliary elastic part.

5. The liner vibration motor as described in claim 1 , wherein the main elastic part is a helical spring.
