Conventional dW sound wave transducers include piezoelectric type and magnetostrictive type, both of which are commonly used. Speaking of ultrasonic transducers, it is said that the bolt-tight Langevin type is the only type of ultrasonic transducer, and no other type of ultrasonic transducer has been commercialized.By the way, this Langevin type transducer uses a piezoelectric ceramic transducer made of aluminum or stainless steel. cylindrical m P
I'm sandwiching my first child and moving sideways with the bolts firmly tightened. The high frequency (thickness) ftM movement of the piezoelectric vibrator generated by the electric signal causes the cylindrical vibrator to resonate in the longitudinal mode and amplify 4i[, so the resonance wave number changes depending on the number of cylindrical vibrators. However, this technique had drawbacks such as the inability to create short oscillators with low solid waves, and the ability to excite only longitudinal mode vibrations.

As explained above, since the ring-shaped vibrator is configured to include means for bending vibration in the thickness direction and means for causing torsional vibration along the circumference of the ring-shaped vibrator at the same time as the bending vibration, the ring-shaped vibrator The linear reciprocating motion of the vibration antinode due to the bending vibration of the shaped vibrator is changed to elliptical motion due to the torsional vibration of the ring, and this mode of ultrasonic wave is not seen in conventional Langevin type ultrasonic vibrators. A pendant appeared. Therefore, when considering application to piezoelectric motors, etc., it is effective as a small, powerful, and easy-to-use ultrasonic transducer, and in particular, it has a high efficiency in converting elliptical motion.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the ring-shaped vibrator has three supporting legs and three toothed plates, but this is the case when the ring-shaped vibrator of the embodiment is excited at 3'8.8 KH2. , ring circle 1. This is because there is a standing wave in the bending mode with a wave number of 3, which divides (2) into three equal parts. Since the wave number changes by changing the diameter and thickness of the ring, it goes without saying that the number and mounting position of the support legs and toothed plates must be changed accordingly.
