    摘要: A micro-electro-mechanic actuator device (1; 85; 95) comprising: a fixed structure (4); and a mobile structure (2), which includes a first deformable band (47c) and a further second deformable band (47a) and a further third deformable band (47b), which extend on opposite sides of the first deformable band, each carrying a piezoelectric actuator (50i-50j). In a working condition, in which the second and third piezoelectrics are biased by a working voltage, the second and third deformable bands (47a, 47b) are subjected to a negative bending, while the first deformable band (47c) is subjected to a positive bending. There are thus generated two translations that add together, causing a displacement of the first deformable band greater than the one that may be obtained by a single membrane of equal base area.

    摘要: A MEMS device comprising a fixed structure (22) and a suspended structure (26) including an internal structure (29; 109) and a first arm (B1) and a second arm (B2), each of which has a respective first end and a respective second end, the first ends being fixed to the fixed structure and being angularly arranged at a distance apart, the second ends being fixed to the internal structure, being angularly arranged at a distance apart and being arranged angularly in a same direction of rotation with respect to the corresponding first ends. The MEMS device further includes a number of piezoelectric actuators (50, 52, 54, 56), each of which can be driven so as to cause deformation of a corresponding arm, thus causing a rotation of the internal structure. In resting conditions, each of the first and second arms has a respective elongated portion (30, 32) with a respective concavity. The internal structure extends in part within the concavities of the elongated portions of the first and second arms.

    摘要: A micromechanical device (50) having an tiltable structure (52) rotatable about a first rotation axis (B); a fixed structure (51); and an actuation structure (54) of a piezoelectric type, coupled between the tiltable structure and the fixed structure. The actuation structure (54) is formed by spring elements (55, 56) having a spiral shape. The spring elements (55, 56) are each formed by a plurality of actuation arms (70-73) extending transversely to the first rotation axis (B), each actuation arm carrying a respective piezoelectric band (74, 75) of piezoelectric material. The actuation arms are divided into two sets biased in phase opposition to obtain rotation in opposite directions of the tiltable structure about the first rotation axis (B).

    摘要: The MEMS actuator (10) is formed by a main body (15) that has a central portion (29A), couplable to a substrate (11), and a peripheral portion (29B), which is suspended over the substrate when the central portion is coupled to the substrate and has a deformable structure (35*), which at rest has a spiral planar shape, extends around the central portion (29A), and forms a plurality of membranes (35) arranged in succession. The MEMS actuator has a plurality of bearing structures (38, 39) and, for each bearing structure, a corresponding piezoelectric actuator (40). The bearing structures are fixed at the top to the deformable structure (35*) and laterally delimit corresponding cavities (37), each having a lateral opening (AP) facing the central portion (29A) of the main body (15) and closed at the top by a corresponding membrane (35), of which a fixed part is fixed to the underlying bearing structure and a suspended part is laterally offset with respect to the underlying bearing structure. The piezoelectric actuators are controllable so as to cause a deformation of the corresponding membrane and a rotation of the bearing structures around the central portion of the main body.
