In the touch feedback module 100, the touch pad 130 is suspended on the suspension plate 110 through the transmission structure 120, the suspension portion 112 is disposed around the bearing portion 111, the suspension portion 112 is connected to the bearing portion 111, the piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed on the bearing portion 111, and the transmission structure 120 is disposed on the suspension portion 112, so as to dispose the piezoelectric motor 140 in the internal space of the transmission structure 120, so that more functions are integrated in the limited space surrounded by the transmission structure 120, thereby improving the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100; the external force pressing the touch pad 130 transfers the force to the suspension portion 112 through the transfer structure 120, resulting in bending deformation of the suspension portion 112, and further driving the piezoelectric motor 140 to generate voltage output through a positive piezoelectric effect, because the piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed in the internal space of the transfer structure 120, so as to avoid the situation that deformation of the suspension plate 110 is not easily sensed by the piezoelectric motor 140 through a long transfer process, when the force pressing the touch pad 130 is small, the relatively weak deformation of the suspension portion 112 can be sensed by the piezoelectric motor 140, so that the pressure sensing sensitivity is high, at this time, the piezoelectric motor 140 receives the voltage signal, and generates a force effect through a reverse piezoelectric effect, and further driving the suspension plate 110 to generate bending deformation, so as to transfer vibration to the touch pad 130 through the transfer structure 120, because the piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed in the internal space of the transfer structure 120, the touch pad 130 can generate a small displacement along the stacking, and the sensitivity of touch feedback is improved.
In order to further improve the degree of miniaturization of the touch feedback module 100, as shown in fig. 3, in a preferred embodiment, when the number of the piezoelectric motors 140 is plural, the plural piezoelectric motors 140 are disposed on the supporting portion in a surrounding manner and arranged in a ring structure, a center line of the ring structure coincides with a center line of the suspended wing plate 110, a hollow region 122 is formed on the supporting portion corresponding to the inside of the ring structure, and similarly, a center line of the hollow region 122 coincides with a center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110, and the number of the piezoelectric motors 140 may be two, three, four, or more than four; as shown in fig. 4, when the number of the piezoelectric motors 140 is one, the piezoelectric motor 140 has a ring-shaped structure, and the piezoelectric motor 140 has a hollow region 122 inside, and the center line of the ring-shaped structure coincides with the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110.
In the touch feedback module 100, the plurality of piezoelectric motors 140 are arranged in an annular structure, or when only one piezoelectric motor 140 is provided, the piezoelectric motor 140 with the annular structure is selected to form the hollow region 122 inside the piezoelectric motor, so as to provide a position for the arrangement of other components, so as to integrate functional components in the hollow region 122 with the annular structure, and thus more functions can be integrated in the limited space surrounded by the transmission structure 120, and further improve the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100.
In order to limit the vibration amplitude of the touch pad 130 relative to the pendant plate 110, specifically, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the pendant plate 110 is provided with at least one limit structure 150 on a side facing the touch pad 130, the limit structure 150 is spaced apart from the touch pad 130, when the piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed on a side of the bearing part 111 facing the touch pad 130, the at least one limit structure 150 is disposed in the hollow region 122 of the ring structure, and the height of the limit structure 150 is higher than that of the piezoelectric motor 140.
In the touch feedback module 100, the limiting structure 150 is disposed on the side of the pendant plate 110 facing the touch pad 130, so that the vibration amplitude of the touch pad 130 is limited by the limiting structure 150. And a certain distance is formed between the limiting structure 150 and the touch pad 130, so that the touch pad 130 can be prevented from being mechanically damaged due to the fact that the limiting structure 150 is touched in the downward vibration process, and the downward vibration amplitude of the touch pad 130 is increased. The piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed on the side of the bearing part 111 facing the touch pad 130, so that the piezoelectric motor 140 is integrated in the accommodating part 121 surrounded by the touch pad 130, the transmission structure 120 and the suspension plate 110, at this time, the limit structure 150 is disposed in the hollow area 122, so as to integrate the limit function in the hollow area 122 of the ring structure, and the height of the limit structure 150 is higher than that of the piezoelectric motor 140, so as to prevent the touch pad 130 from directly colliding with the piezoelectric motor 140 to cause mechanical damage.
In order to realize the same amplitude of the touch pad 130, the thickness of the limiting structure 150 and the thickness of the transmission structure 120 in the touch feedback module 100 in the direction parallel to the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110 are smaller than that of the limiting structure 150 disposed on the surface of the piezoelectric motor 140 away from the bearing portion 111, that is, the smaller limiting structure 150 can limit the vibration amplitude of the touch pad 130 relative to the suspended wing plate 110. When the positioning structure is specifically arranged, the limiting structure 150 is made of elastic materials such as foam, rubber and plastics, and the hardness is less than 80A. By the arrangement, the buffer performance of the limiting structure 150 can be improved, and the touch pad 130 is prevented from being mechanically damaged when contacting the limiting structure 150. For example, an EVA perforated plate (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) having a hardness of 30A to 50A, the length, width, and height dimensions of 6mm by 60mm by 0.5mm, may be used.
In order to limit and support the suspension plate 110, as shown in fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10, specifically, a support structure is disposed on a side of the bearing portion 111 away from the touch pad 130, and when the piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed on a side of the bearing portion 111 facing the touch pad 130, the support structure is disposed in the hollow region 122 of the ring structure, and it should be noted that the limit structure 150 may also be disposed in the touch feedback module 100, and a center line of the limit structure 150 coincides with a center line of the suspension plate 110.
In the touch feedback module 100, when the same amplitude of the suspended wing plate 110 is realized, compared with the case where the piezoelectric motor 140 has no hollow region 122, and the support structure is disposed outside the piezoelectric motor 140 without the hollow region 122, the thickness of the support structure in the touch feedback module 100 in the direction parallel to the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110 is smaller, that is, the support and limit functions of the suspended wing plate 110 can be realized by the smaller support structure.
The structural form of the supporting structure is various, as shown in fig. 7 and fig. 8, more specifically, the supporting structure is at least one supporting column 160 disposed on a side of the carrying portion 111 facing away from the touch pad 130, each supporting column 160 abuts against a surface of the carrying portion 111 facing away from the touch pad 130, and each supporting column 160 is locked to the carrying portion 111.
In the touch feedback module 100, the supporting column 160 is used for supporting the suspended wing plate 110, and provides a vibration fulcrum for the suspended wing plate 110, and the supporting column 160 can provide a support for the whole structure, and meanwhile, an included angle exists between the suspended wing part 112 of the suspended wing plate 110 and the supporting column 160, and because the two suspended wing parts 112 are limited by the included angle when vibrating downwards, the supporting column 160 limits the vibration amplitude of the two side edges of the suspended wing plate 110. In a specific arrangement, the supporting column 160 can be locked to the suspension portion 112 by glue bonding, screw locking, or male and female snap. When the number of the support columns 160 is 1, the center line of the support columns 160 coincides with the center line XY of the flap part 112. When the number of the supporting columns 160 is plural, the plurality of supporting columns 160 are uniformly arranged, and the center line of each supporting column 160 is parallel to the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110, or the plurality of supporting columns 160 form a symmetrical structure with respect to the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110.
The structural form of the support structure is various, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, and more specifically, the support structure is at least one protrusion 113 provided on the surface of the bearing part 111 facing away from the touch pad 130.
In the touch feedback module 100, the suspension plate 110 can be mounted to other members through the protruding portion 113, and is used for supporting the suspension plate 110, so as to provide a vibrating fulcrum for the suspension plate 110, and the protrusion 113 can provide a support for the whole structure, and meanwhile, an included angle exists between the suspension portion 112 of the suspension plate 110 and the protruding portion 113, and because the two suspension portions 112 vibrate downwards, the included angle is limited, and therefore, the protruding portion 113 limits the vibration amplitude of the two side edges of the suspension plate 110. In a specific arrangement, when the number of the protruding portions 113 is 1, the center line of the protruding portion 113 coincides with the center line XY of the flap portion 112. When the number of the convex portions 113 is plural, the plural convex portions 113 are uniformly arranged, and the center line of each convex portion 113 is parallel to the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110, or the plural convex portions 113 constitute a symmetrical structure with respect to the center line XY of the suspended wing plate 110.
The specific working scene is as follows:
pressure sensing: as shown in fig. 11, when a finger presses the touch pad 130, the pressing force F is transmitted to the transmission structure 120 through the touch pad 130, and the transmission structure 120 uniformly transmits the force to the suspension plate 110, so that the suspension plate 110 is bent and deformed, and the piezoelectric motor 140 is driven to generate and output a voltage signal through a positive piezoelectric effect. Theoretical calculation and finite element simulation prove that when the force F for pressing the touch pad 130 is small, the piezoelectric motor 140 can sense the weak deformation of the suspension part 112, so that the pressure sensing sensitivity is high. It should be noted that, pressure sensing is used for sensing different pressure levels, so as to implement different touch controls, for example, if pressure is large, a right key is indicated, and if pressure is small, a left key is indicated. And before the pressure sensing, touch sensing for determining whether a finger touches or not is further included.
Touch feedback: as shown in fig. 11, a voltage signal is applied to the piezoelectric motor 140, the piezoelectric motor 140 generates an inverse piezoelectric effect under the excitation of the voltage, and drives the suspended wing plate 110 to generate bending deformation, and the vibration is transmitted to the touch panel 130 through the transmission structure 120, so that the touch panel 130 generates overall up-and-down vibration, and the piezoelectric motor 140 is disposed in the internal space of the transmission structure 120, so that the touch panel 130 can generate a small displacement Δ s along the stacking direction, and the sensitivity of touch feedback is improved.
In a preferred embodiment, in the stacking direction of the suspended wing plate 110 and the transmission structure 120, the edge of the suspended wing plate 110 is flush with the edge of the transmission structure 120, as shown in fig. 1 to 11, a line connecting the left and right sides is defined as a first direction Z, and the extension length of the suspended wing plate 110 parallel to the first direction Z is equal to the extension length of the transmission structure 120 parallel to the first direction Z. Further, the flap plate 110 and the transfer structure 120 are an integral structure.
In the touch feedback module 100, since the portion of the suspended wing plate 110 beyond the edge of the transmitting structure 120 is not effectively deformed when the touch pad 130 presses, the area of the suspended wing plate 110 that is not effectively deformed when the touch pad is pressed can be reduced by aligning the edge of the suspended wing plate 110 with the edge of the transmitting structure 120, and the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100 is effectively improved on the basis of ensuring the same touch feedback effect. As shown in fig. 12, the suspension plate 110 and the transmission structure 120 may be configured as an integrated structure to further improve the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100 and reduce the manufacturing process and the assembling process.
In a preferred embodiment, in the stacking direction of the pendant plate 110 and the transfer structure 120, the edge of the touch pad 130 is flush with the edge of the transfer structure 120, as shown in fig. 1 to 11, a line connecting the left and right sides is defined as a first direction Z, and the extension length of the touch pad 130 parallel to the first direction Z is equal to the extension length of the transfer structure 120 parallel to the first direction Z. Further, the touch panel 130 and the transmission structure 120 are a single structure.
In the touch feedback module 100, since the portion of the touch panel 130 beyond the transmitting structure 120 cannot make the transmitting structure 120 generate an effective acting force, the edge of the touch panel 130 is flush with the edge of the transmitting structure 120, so as to reduce the area of the touch panel 130 that cannot make the transmitting structure 120 generate an effective acting force when pressed, thereby effectively improving the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100. As shown in fig. 13, the transmitting structure 120 may be integrally formed with the touch panel 130 to further improve the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100 and to reduce the manufacturing process and the assembling process.
In a preferred embodiment, the touch feedback module 100 further includes a driving circuit board 170, wherein the driving circuit board 170 is disposed on the suspension plate 110 and electrically connected to the piezoelectric motor 140, and is used for providing a voltage signal to the piezoelectric motor 140 and transmitting the voltage signal, so as to achieve normal operation of the inverse piezoelectric effect and the positive piezoelectric effect.
In the touch feedback module 100, the driving circuit board 170 is connected to the piezoelectric motor 140 via an electrode wire, the driving circuit board 170 applies a voltage signal to the piezoelectric motor 140 via the electrode wire to realize vibration of the suspension plate 110 and the touch pad 130 in the touch feedback, and the pressure sensing module transmits a force signal to the piezoelectric motor 140 via the touch pad 130 and the suspension plate 110 to generate a voltage signal, and transmits the voltage signal to the driving circuit board via the electrode wire.
Specifically, the suspension plate 110 has a plurality of through holes, the driving circuit board 170 is disposed on a surface of the suspension plate 110 facing away from the piezoelectric motor 140, and the driving circuit board 170 is electrically connected to the piezoelectric motor 140 through a conductive member 180 located in the through holes to integrate the piezoelectric motor 140, the suspension plate 110, and the driving circuit board 170 together. Further, the suspension plate 110 and the driving circuit board 170 are integrated to further improve the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100.
In the touch feedback module 100, the driving circuit board 170 may be a flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board is disposed on one side of the suspension plate 110 away from the piezoelectric motor 140, a plurality of through holes are disposed on the suspension plate 110, and a conductive member 180 is disposed in the through holes to electrically connect the flexible circuit board and the piezoelectric motor 140, specifically, the conductive member 180 may be a conductive material injected into the through holes, such as conductive paste like silver paste, carbon paste, or a conductive wire coated on an inner wall of the through holes. And at this moment, the overhang plate 110 also plays a role in increasing the strength of the flexible circuit board, and certainly, the driving circuit board 170 is not limited to the flexible circuit board, and may also be other structural members capable of meeting the requirements, for example, the driving circuit board 170 may be placed on the periphery of the whole structure and integrated with the main board.
In order to further increase the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module, in a preferred embodiment, the suspension plate 110 may be made of a metal alloy or an engineering plastic.
In the touch feedback module 100, since the metal alloy has the characteristics of light weight and high strength, and since the engineering plastic has the advantages of strong rigidity, good mechanical property, and the like, the integral structure of the suspension wing plate 110 made of the metal alloy or the engineering plastic has light weight and strong mechanical strength, structural members such as a transmission structure, a piezoelectric motor, and the like arranged on the suspension wing plate can be better supported in a thin thickness, so that the supporting reliability is improved, the service life of the touch feedback module 100 is prolonged, and the lightness, thinness and miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100 are improved; of course, the material for preparing the suspension plate 110 is not limited to metal alloy and engineering plastic, but can be bakelite, glass, stainless steel, etc.
The embodiment of the invention further provides a touch device, which includes the touch feedback module 100 according to any of the above embodiments. The touch device includes, but is not limited to, a notebook computer, a mobile phone, a vehicle-mounted device, and other devices requiring touch feedback and pressure sensing. For example, if the touch device is a notebook computer, the touch feedback module 100 is an input touch feedback module of the notebook computer, which is also called a PC touch feedback module.
In the touch device, the touch feedback module 100 can integrate more functions in the limited space surrounded by the transmission structure 120, so as to improve the miniaturization degree of the touch feedback module 100; in addition, the relatively weak deformation of the overhang portion 112 can be sensed by the piezoelectric motor 140, and the touch pad 130 can generate a relatively small displacement in the stacking direction, thereby improving the sensitivity of pressure sensing and touch feedback, and thus the degree of miniaturization and the sensitivity of the touch device having the touch feedback module 100 are high.
