摘要:
In an ultrasonic motor, an elliptical vibration is generated by combining a longitudinal primary resonance vibration resulting from an expansion and a contraction of a vibrator in a direction of a central axis and a torsional secondary resonance vibration or a torsional tertiary resonance vibration resulting from twisting around the central axis. A dimension ratio of a rectangle of the vibrator is chosen such that a resonance frequency of the longitudinal primary resonance vibration and a resonance frequency of the torsional secondary resonance vibration or the torsional tertiary resonance vibration match. The vibrator includes a plurality of regions in a surface orthogonal to the central axis, and deformations of the regions adjacent to each other along the direction of the central axis are mutually different. The vibrator expands and contracts in a direction orthogonal to a polarization direction thereof.

A camera using films each having a development processing solution in a solution accommodating bag includes rollers feeding photographed film outside of the camera or into an accommodating chamber, a piezoelectric press member held between an electrode and an elastic member also serving as an electrode presses photographed film and spreads development processing solution in the solution bag over an entire exposing portion. A piezoelectric member vibrated by AC voltages applied to the electrode and elastic member reduces a frictional force of the film caused by the press member. The processing solution is heated by vibrating the press member to generate heat. A camera using films each having a development processing solution accommodated in a solution bag includes a follower roller disposed on the upper side of the film, an ultrasonic motor composed of a vibrator on the lower side of the film, a temperature sensor detecting temperature of the ultrasonic motor, a peripheral temperature measuring circuit for detecting a peripheral temperature and a control circuit controlling drive of the ultrasonic motor based on the results detected by the temperature sensor and the peripheral temperature measuring circuit. The ultrasonic motor also serves as a film feed unit for feeding photographed film outside of the camera or into an accommodating chamber, a press unit for pressing photographed film and spreading development processing solution in the solution bag over an entire exposing portion and a heating unit for heating development processing solution before spreading.

An ultrasonic vibrator includes a piezoelectric laminated-section; a frictional contact-section serving as a driving point upon coming into contact with a moving-table serving as a driven body; and a pin serving as a projection and disposed at a node of a generated vibration. When alternating voltages are applied on external electrodes of the piezoelectric laminated-section, an ultrasonic elliptical vibration is generated at the frictional contact-section. The pin is composed of a resin member such as polyether-ether-ketone.

With the invention, both a longitudinal vibration mode and a flexural vibration mode are independently detected, or only the longitudinal vibration mode is detected, without using a special device. The invention provides an ultrasonic motor including electromechanical transducers for driving, electromechanical transducers for vibration detection, and an ultrasonic vibrator in which, by supplying two-phase alternating voltages with a predetermined phase difference and predetermined driving frequency to the electromechanical transducers for driving, two different vibration modes are simultaneously generated to produce a substantially elliptical vibration at an output. It is possible to independently detect both the longitudinal vibration mode and the flexural vibration mode with the electromechanical transducers for vibration detection.

An ultrasonic motor, which rotates a rotor by elastic movement generated by simultaneously exciting vertical oscillation and twisted oscillation in an ultrasonic oscillator, by using expanding and contracting oscillations of a multilayer piezoelectric element formed by laminating two kinds of piezoelectric sheet, is configured as follows. Namely, the multilayer piezoelectric element is formed by alternately laminating a first piezoelectric sheet and a second piezoelectric sheet. The first piezoelectric sheet is provided with a first internal electrode, which is divided into two or more parts, and each divided part is exposed to a peripheral edge of the piezoelectric sheet. The second piezoelectric sheet is provided with an internal electrode, which has a polarity reverse to the first internal electrode, and is divided into two or more parts, and each divided part is exposed to a peripheral edge of the piezoelectric sheet.

An ultrasonic linear motor according to the present invention has a configuration wherein driving elements are glued at portions on faces of an ultrasonic transducer, facing one another, where rotational directions of elliptic vibrations generated on the faces are reverse one to another, a pair of guides are provided for being pressed into against the driving elements so as to hold the ultrasonic transducer therebetween, and leaf springs serving as pressing part are provided so as to narrow a spacing between the one pair of guides, whereby the ultrasonic transducer is configured as an self-moving ultrasonic linear motor which can drive by itself. Thus, driving properties of the ultrasonic transducer itself is improved, and also the size of the ultrasonic linear motor can be reduced.

An ultrasonic motor capable of simultaneously generating a plurality of vibration modes efficiently generates each vibration mode so as to stably obtain high motor power. The ultrasonic motor an ultrasonic vibrator and a pressing unit. The ultrasonic vibrator includes an electromechanical converting element that generates a substantially elliptic vibration at an output end of the ultrasonic vibrator by simultaneously generating two different vibration modes by applying a first alternating-current voltage of a first phase and a second alternating-current voltage of a second phase to the electromechanical converting elements, wherein the first and second alternating-current voltages have a predetermined phase difference and predetermined driving frequencies. The pressing unit is configured to press the output end of the ultrasonic vibrator against a driven body. The output end of the ultrasonic vibrator is pressed against the driven body by a pressing force that causes mechanical resonant frequencies in the two different vibration modes to substantially match each other.
