Is a partially cutaway perspective view of an annular ultrasonic motor,
A vibrating body 3 is formed by bonding an annular piezoelectric ceramic 2 as a piezoelectric body to one of the annular surfaces of an annular elastic substrate 1. Reference numeral 4 denotes a friction material made of an abrasion-resistant material, and reference numeral 5 denotes an elastic body. The moving body 6 is placed in pressure contact with the vibrating body 3 by a pressing means (not shown) via the friction material 4. FIG. 8 shows the piezoelectric ceramic 2
FIG. 3 is a structural diagram of a drive electrode structure formed in FIG. 2, in which two sets of drive electrodes A and B shifted in position by 波長 wavelength are formed. The drive electrodes A and B are each composed of a small electrode group having a length corresponding to a half wavelength. Electrodes C and D are each 3
It has a length equivalent to 4 wavelength and 1 / wavelength, and is formed in order to create a positional shift of 駆 動 wavelength between the drive electrodes A and B. The drive electrodes A and B have two phases each having a phase difference of 90 degrees.
When two AC voltages are applied, each AC voltage
The standing wave of the bending vibration is superimposed, and a traveling wave of the bending vibration of the primary in the radial direction and the tertiary in the circumferential direction having the radial displacement distribution as shown in FIG. Due to the transverse component of the wave front of the traveling wave, the moving body 6 is driven by friction and rotates. When the sign of the phase difference of 90 degrees between the two AC voltages applied to the drive electrodes A and B is reversed ,
The traveling direction of the traveling wave of the excited bending vibration can be changed, and as a result, the rotation direction of the moving body 6 can be changed.

In the conventional ultrasonic motor driving method, by reversing the sign of the phase difference 90 ° between two of the AC voltage applied to the two driving electrodes formed in the piezoelectric ceramic constituting the vibrator, the vibration
The traveling direction of the traveling wave of the bending vibration excited by the body is changed to reverse the rotation direction of the moving body.

なる。 However, in the conventional method of driving an ultrasonic motor, the phase difference between two AC voltages due to the reversal operation of the moving body is determined.
Even after reversing the sign of 90 degrees, the amplitude of the bending vibration in the vibrating body does not change suddenly, so the direction of the traveling wave suddenly changes.
Does not change. That is, the two applied to the two drive electrodes
Inverts the phase of one of the AC voltages
Since the other AC voltage is the same, it is not inverted
The magnitude of the amplitude of the bending vibration due to the AC voltage remains unchanged
The magnitude of the amplitude value of the bending vibration due to the inverted AC voltage
The deflection vibration before inversion and the deflection vibration after inversion
Because the phase is opposite to that of the
It becomes a bending vibration in which the phases are reversed. As a result, the inversion operation
Therefore, the sign of the phase difference of 90 degrees between the two AC voltages was inverted.
Later, the traveling wave of the bending vibration is attenuated and the standing wave is excited.
Then, the traveling wave whose traveling direction is reversed is excited.
When a traveling wave is excited in the vibrating body, the traveling wave
Since the amplitude is constant, the vibrating body and the moving body
Always in contact, but a standing wave is excited in the vibrating body.
The amplitude of the standing wave changes at twice the frequency
When the amplitude increases, the vibration
The moving object touches, and the moving object moves to its position due to the inertia of the moving object.
So that when the amplitude of the standing wave decreases,
In this case, there is no contact between the vibrating body and the moving body. In other words, the vibrator and
Contact of the moving object only occurs at the moment when the amplitude of the standing wave increases.
The apparent friction between the vibrating body and the moving body is extremely small
Become.

Especially when the moving body and the vibrating body
And the braking force against rotation stop is small. In other words, conventional
The driving method of the ultrasonic motor
Rotational speed changes relatively fast because standing waves are not excited
However, standing waves are temporarily excited during inversion.
Therefore, it is difficult to perform the reversing operation at high speed.

Even if the sign of the phase difference between the two AC voltages is inverted, the moving body rotates in the same direction without being inverted for a while due to inertia, and performs the inversion only after the delay time td. Therefore, there is a problem that the moving body cannot follow the inversion cycle if the reversal cycle is increased.
