Abstract

PURPOSE:To drive an oscillator with low power supply voltage by reversing the phase of voltages to be applied, respectively, on the common electrode and one or a plurality of driving electrodes of the oscillator. CONSTITUTION:A piezoelectric element 3 comprises twelve oscillatory elements which can deform independently and provided, respectively, with driving electrodes 31-42. In this case, polarizing direction may be uniform and a common electrode is arranged entirely on the rear surface. When three adjacent oscillatory elements and diagonally disposed oscillatory elements are driven in-phase, oscillation mode of 2lambda is excited. Signals d, e, f are subjected to phase inversion with the timing of a, b, c and becomes in-phase or reverse phase of phir. At the time of reverse phase, voltage is applied alternately to the driving electrode side and the common electrode side and thereby the oscillatory element has an effect equivalent to application of double voltage of the driving voltage. Consequently, the oscillator can be driven with a low power supply voltage.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the conventional excitation method, when applying an AC voltage, for example, if a DC power source such as a storage battery is used, only that voltage can be applied to the element at the maximum, and the voltage is low. This was a hindrance to driving. In addition, when combining voltages that are partially driven and applied after polarizing the piezoelectric element in positive and negative directions, the area of the part to which the voltage is applied and the voltage actually applied may vary depending on the case.
The process is complicated and costly due to the difference in current consumption and vibration displacement, and the need for polarization reversal.
o. Since a high impedance voltage state is required, there is a problem in that the drive circuit becomes complicated. On the other hand, when driving with a DC power supply, it is necessary to charge the piezoelectric element in the opposite direction every half cycle, so it is necessary to supply an extra current each time, which hinders lower current consumption.

FIG. 2 is a circuit diagram showing a first embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a timing chart of each part thereof. In this embodiment, a vibration mode of 2λ (λ is the number of wavelengths) is excited in the stator 2 to which the piezoelectric element 3 is attached, and the two node positions are moved by dividing the frequency into 12 by 30°. It is. The piezoelectric element 3 has 12 independently deformable vibrating elements, each having 31 to 42 drive electrodes. In this case, the polarization direction may be uniform and the common electrode is arranged on the entire back surface. A 2λ vibration mode can be excited by driving three adjacent vibration elements and the vibration elements at diagonal positions in the same phase, and by shifting the combination by one, the position of the vibration node also moves by one. From the signal φc at that timing, a switching circuit 102 generates signals a, b, and c whose phases are shifted by a 1/6 frequency dividing circuit 108 and a shift register 107, respectively. Then, from the signal φr from the oscillation circuit, the drive signals d, e, f and the inverters 111, 112, 1
13 to form an inverted signal. Furthermore, buffer 12
A voltage is applied to the drive patterns 31 to 42 of the vibrating elements through a driver 104 consisting of drivers 1 to 126. On the other hand, φ
A voltage with a voltage phase opposite to r is applied to the common electrode c of the piezoelectric element 3. The phases of the signals d, e, and f are inverted at timings a, b, and c, respectively, and are in phase with or in phase with the phase of φr. At this time, when the phase is reversed, voltages are applied alternately to the drive electrode side and the common electrode side, so that an effect equivalent to applying a voltage twice the drive voltage to the vibrating element can be obtained. Furthermore, if they are in phase, they have the same potential, so no substantial potential difference is applied to the vibrating element and it is not driven. Figure 2
In the configuration shown in FIG. 3, the section t1 in FIG.
32, 33, 37, 38, 39 are driven, and in the period t2, 32, 33, 34, 38, 39, 40 are driven,
Thereafter, the positions of the vibrating elements that are driven are sequentially shifted. As a result, the position of the node moves one vibrating element at a time, and the rotor is driven intermittently accordingly. Note that when voltages of the same phase are applied to the drive electrode side and the common electrode side, the electric charge accumulated in the vibrating element due to vibration can be released, so that the adverse effects caused by unnecessary deformation due to the electric charge can be prevented.

FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram showing a second embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIG. 5 is a timing chart of each part. The piezoelectric element 3 has, for example, three vibrating elements and drive electrodes 31, 32, and 33, which are equally divided and arranged, so that their mutual positions are shifted by 120 degrees. In such a configuration, when each vibrating element is sequentially excited at a frequency near the resonance frequency of 2λ, the position of the node shifts by 120°. At this time, since the relative angle between the two nodes is 90°, the angle through which the nodes have moved is equivalent to 30°. The timing signal φc is passed through the switching circuit 102 to the 1/6 frequency dividing circuit 1.
09, the shift register 107 forms signals a, b, and c whose phases are shifted from each other, and the exclusive ORs 131 and 132 and the exclusive NOR 133 form signals d and e.

23, g, h, and i are formed through a driver 104 and applied to drive electrodes 31, 32, and 33. On the other hand, a voltage having a phase opposite to φr is applied to the common electrode c of the piezoelectric element via an inverting driver 105 consisting of an inverter 114 and the like. Therefore, an alternating voltage is applied to the vibrating element.

A signal φr from an oscillation circuit 103 that oscillates a frequency near the resonance point of a vibrator 3 made up of a plurality of vibrating elements 30 attached to the oscillator 3 is switched by a switching circuit 102 at the timing of a control circuit 101 and amplified by a switching driver 104 to generate drive signals g, h. , i. The inverting driver 105 inverts and amplifies φr, and the differentiating circuit 110 forms a differential waveform j from φr.
