In order to achieve the above and other objects, a piezoelectric transformer unit is provided. The unit contains a piezoelectric transformer element, a first upper electrode, a first lower electrode, an insulator casing, a first lead terminal, and an insulator elastic member. The piezoelectric transformer element has a upper element surface, a lower element surface, and a first side element surface.

The insulator casing houses the piezoelectric transformer element. The first lead terminal protrudes from an inner surface of the insulator casing, supports the piezoelectric transformer element within the insulator casing, and vertically presses the an oscillation nodal point of the piezoelectric transformer element. The insulator elastic member is arranged between an oscillation nodal point on one of the upper, lower, and first side element surfaces of the piezoelectric transformer element and the insulator casing.

A piezoelectric transformer element includes electrodes formed on a maximum-area of the front surface and rear surface of a long-plate shaped piezoelectric body. A case in which the piezoelectric transformer element is housed includes first lead terminals and second lead terminals. The first lead terminals press the electrodes on the front surface of the piezoelectric transformer element and are electrically connected to the electrodes. The second lead terminals press the electrodes on the rear surface of the piezoelectric transformer element and are electrically connected to the electrodes. The piezoelectric transformer element is held within the case by the first and second lead terminals and ring-shaped elastic bodies in which the piezoelectric transformer element is inserted. Thus, inhibition of vibration of the piezoelectric transformer element is suppressed and energy conversion efficiency of the piezoelectric transformer element is improved.

摘要:
A piezoelectric transformer is described that features high energy-conversion efficiency and high reliability. Four driver piezoelectric ceramic plates are provided on the upper and lower surfaces at both ends of a generator piezoelectric ceramic plate having a rectangular shape, the driver piezoelectric ceramic plates having the same width and one-third the length of the generator piezoelectric ceramic plate. Vibration is not hindered and the energy-conversion efficiency is therefore increased in this construction because the draw-out positions of the four input electrodes and three output electrodes are all positioned at the nodes of mechanical vibration. In addition, the reliability of lead wire connections is improved because vibration places no load on the lead wires. Finally, input capacitance and step-up capabilities can be raised by adopting a multilayer construction for the driver piezoelectric ceramic plates.

A battery pack is provided which can be suitably used in a case where charging of a dedicated secondary battery in a portable terminal device is difficult. The battery pack is mounted in a battery mounting section in a portable cellular phone (portable terminal device) proper. In the battery pack, alkaline accumulators are connected in series. Alkaline accumulators generate electromotive forces having a voltage (3V) being lower than that of the dedicated secondary battery. A power source circuit has a boosting-type DC/DC converter which boosts a voltage of the alkaline accumulators being connected in series at a level being same as that of the dedicated secondary battery (for example, 4.5V), and outputs the boosted voltage. An electrical double layer capacitor has a capacity to feed stable power to an internal circuit in which power consumption increases or decreases in a burst manner and is charged by application of an output of the power source circuit and stores the power.
摘要:
An external cathode terminal (16) is adhered to one surface of a capacitor element while a prepreg (25) is adhered to another surface of the capacitor element. A reinforcement plate (26) is adhered to the prepreg. Heat and pressure are applied to the external cathode terminal, the prepreg, and the reinforcement plate to elute thermosetting resin from the prepreg in the side of the capacitor element, thereby sealing the side of the capacitor element with eluted material (27A, 27B). Inasmuch as transfer molding is not used as exterior package, the element never deforms by injection pressure of resin. It is possible to thin by a thickness of exterior package resin. Inasmuch as eluted thermosetting resin does not include a mold release agent, it has good adhesion for the external cathode terminal.
摘要:
A piezoelectric transformer element includes a piezoelectric plate made of a ceramic material, and input and output electrodes formed on the piezoelectric plate, and outputs a voltage from the output electrode upon application of a voltage to the input electrode. A reinforcing layer is selectively disposed on that portion of the piezoelectric plate where tensile stress concentrates when the piezoelectric transformer element is driven. The reinforcing layer is made of a material having the same composition as that of the ceramic material forming the piezoelectric plate and a particle size, after sintering, smaller than that of the ceramic material. A method of manufacturing a piezoelectric transformer element includes the steps of selectively disposing a reinforcing layer made of a ceramic powder at a required portion of each of ceramic sheets that form a piezoelectric plate of the piezoelectric transformer element, and molding and sintering the ceramic sheets and the ceramic powder, thus fabricating the piezoelectric plate. The ceramic powder has the same composition as that of the ceramic sheets of the piezoelectric plate and a specific powder surface area larger than that of the piezoelectric plate.
