- the elastic body 4 and the piezoelectric element 1 are disposed to face each other with a spacer 5 interposed therebetween.
- the diaphragm 3 is disposed on the front surface of the elastic body 4.
- the diaphragm 3 is a metal shim, for example.
- the diaphragm 3 has a flat plate shape parallel to the elastic body 4. In the XY plan view, the diaphragm 3 has a rectangular shape and is slightly smaller than the elastic body 4.
- the diaphragm 3 is joined to the front surface of the elastic body 4. Specifically, the outer periphery of the diaphragm 3 is attached to the front surface of the diaphragm 3 with a double-sided tape or the like. Thereby, the diaphragm 3 is held via the elastic body 4. Therefore, the diaphragm 3 is held soft.
- a plurality of spacers 5 are interposed between the elastic body 4 and the piezoelectric element 1. That is, one end of the spacer 5 is attached to the back surface of the elastic body 4, and the other end is attached to the front surface of the piezoelectric element 1. Thereby, the diaphragm 3 and the piezoelectric element 1 are arranged to face each other with a gap in the Z direction.
- the number of spacers 5 is not particularly limited.
- a plurality of spacers 5 may be provided. Therefore, three or more spacers 5 may be disposed between the piezoelectric element 1 and the elastic body 4.

- the sizes of the two spacers 5 are substantially the same.
- the size of the spacer 5 in the Y direction is approximately the same as the size of the piezoelectric element 1.
- the shape of the spacer 5 is not particularly limited.
- the spacer 5 can be made of a resin such as Teflon (registered trademark).
- the piezoelectric element 1 and the diaphragm 3 are connected via the spacer 5.
- the piezoelectric element 1 expands and contracts.
- the piezoelectric element 1 operates in the d31 mode. Vibration generated by the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element 1 is transmitted to the elastic body 4 via the spacer 5.
- the diaphragm 3 attached to the elastic body 4 vibrates. Sound is output by the vibration of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the vibration transmission structure 100 operates as a piezoelectric speaker.
- the effects of the present embodiment will be described in comparison with comparative examples.
- a structure in which a diaphragm is simply joined to a piezoelectric bimorph or a piezoelectric unimorph is used as a piezoelectric speaker.

That is, a plurality of spacers 5 are arranged between the diaphragm 3 and the piezoelectric element 1 in order to increase the sound pressure and to lower the mechanical quality factor Qm. By doing in this way, the bending motion of the piezoelectric element 1 is converted into a piston motion (linear motion) parallel to the Z direction. Therefore, a high sound pressure can be generated in a wide band. Therefore, good vibration characteristics can be realized.

- B shows the sound pressure frequency characteristic in the comparative example.
- the sound pressure is higher than that of the comparative example at any frequency.
- the sound pressure is 10 dB or more higher than that of the comparative example. Therefore, a high sound pressure can be output in a wide band. According to the configuration of the present embodiment, excellent frequency characteristics can be realized.
- FIG. 5 shows the measurement results of the distortion rate with a piezoelectric speaker.
- A indicates the distortion rate in the example
- B indicates the distortion rate in the comparative example.
- FIG. 5 shows the measurement result of the total harmonic distortion rate of 1 kHz to 10 kHz.

- the sound emission holes 13a to 13c have, for example, a rectangular shape corresponding to the size of the vibration transmission structures 100a to 100c.
- the sound emission holes 13a to 13c have a horn shape. That is, the holes (openings) of the sound emitting holes 13a to 13c are gradually reduced from the outside to the inside of the case 10. Therefore, the portions of the cover 13 that are in contact with the sound emission holes 13a to 13c are tapered (slopes).
- Each of the vibration transmission structures 100a to 100c has the configuration shown in FIG. That is, the vibration transmission structures 100a to 100c are fixed to the case 10 by a similar mounting structure. In the following description, the description will focus on the configuration of the vibration transmission structure 100a.
- Both ends of the piezoelectric element 1 are support portions 2 supported by the frame 12.
- both ends of the piezoelectric element 1 are attached to the frame 12 with a double-sided tape.
- the frame 12 supports both ends of the piezoelectric element 1.
- the width of the support part 2 is about 1 mm.
- a double-sided tape having a width of about 1 mm is disposed between the piezoelectric element 1 and the frame 12, and the frame 12 and the piezoelectric element 1 are bonded together. Except for the support portion 2, the piezoelectric element 1 is not bonded to the frame 12. Except at both ends, the frame 12 has a hole in order to make the piezoelectric element 1 free.
- the piezoelectric element 1 and the elastic body 4 are connected via the spacer 5.
- the elastic body 4 is disposed to face the piezoelectric element 1.
- a diaphragm 3 is disposed on the front side of the elastic body 4.
- the diaphragm 3 is disposed on the back side of the cover 13.
- the diaphragm 3 can be seen from the outside through the sound emitting hole 13a. That is, the diaphragm 3 overlaps the sound emitting hole 13 a of the cover 13 in the XY plan view.
- the cover 13 covers the outer periphery of the diaphragm 3. That is, the sound emitting hole 13 a is slightly smaller than the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the outer peripheral portion of the diaphragm 3 is disposed so as to overlap the cover 13.
- the outer periphery of the diaphragm 3 is fixed to the frame 12 by a fixing material 14.
- the fixing member 14 may be a double-sided tape having a width of 1 mm.
- the fixing member 14 bonds the front surface of the frame 12 and the back surface of the diaphragm 3.

- a plurality of vibration transmission structures 100 may be arranged in the case 10.
- the vibration transmission structures 100 may have different sizes.
- harmonic distortion can be suppressed by adjusting the mounting position of the spacer 5.
- harmonic distortion is likely to occur at a specific frequency.
- the diaphragm 3 operates at 1 kHz and 2 kHz as a bending operation due to the nonlinearity of the rectangular piezoelectric element 1. 2 kHz becomes a harmonic distortion and becomes the main cause of sound deterioration.
- the spacer 5 is used to prevent acoustic operation in the secondary mode and the tertiary mode for the purpose of increasing the sound pressure and simultaneously reducing the harmonic distortion to improve the sound. It is arranged. Specifically, even if the diaphragm 3 vibrates, the spacer 5 is disposed at a position where the sound pressure can be relatively canceled.
- the spacer 5 is arranged as shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, since the piezoelectric element 1 is bent, the diaphragm 3 is inclined. When the diaphragm 3 is tilted, it seems that sound is generated, but the diaphragm 3 is tilted across the acoustic neutral line. Therefore, the sound pressure is canceled by the right side inclination and the left side inclination of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, no sound is generated, that is, it is possible to prevent the generation of the second harmonic.
- the speaker does not have a wide band (broadband).
- a plurality of vibration transmission structures 100 can be used to widen the band. That is, by using a plurality of vibration transmission structures 100 having different sizes, the resonance frequency of the primary mode can be shifted and connected in multiple stages.

- the elastic body 24 is formed in a rectangular frame shape so as to be arranged to face the peripheral edge portion 3 a of the diaphragm 3.
- the elastic body 24 is attached only to the peripheral edge 3 a of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the elastic body 24 is not provided in the central portion inside the peripheral edge 3 a of the diaphragm 3.
- the elastic body 24 functions as a fixing member that fixes the diaphragm 3 to a frame (not shown).
- the elastic body 24 is, for example, a double-sided tape having elasticity.
- the elastic body 24 is formed so as not to protrude outside the diaphragm 3.

- the support part 2 indicates both ends of the plate-like piezoelectric element 1.

- the spacer 5 is disposed at a position off the center of the piezoelectric element 1 in the X direction. Specifically, one spacer 5 is disposed between the center of the piezoelectric element 1 and one support end of the piezoelectric element 11, and the other spacer 5 is disposed from the center of the piezoelectric element 1 to the other support end of the piezoelectric element 1. It is arranged between.
- the spacer 5 is a plate-like member along the support end of the piezoelectric element 1.
- the piezoelectric element 1 When an electric signal is applied to the piezoelectric element 1, the piezoelectric element 1 expands and contracts. Here, the piezoelectric element 1 operates in the d31 mode. Vibration generated by the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric element 1 is transmitted to the elastic body 4 via the spacer 5. Thereby, the diaphragm 3 attached to the elastic body 4 vibrates. Sound is output by the vibration of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, the vibration transmission structure 100 operates as a piezoelectric speaker.
