Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily change the number of switching steps for sound pressure, to allow high speed switching, and to eliminate distortion of a generated sound. SOLUTION: Output sound pressure of a sounding body 202 is changed by a level of a direct current voltage when driven by a voltage superposed with an alternating current voltage to the direct current voltage. The direct current voltage from a voltage generating circuit 10 is added to an output signal of an oscillation circuit 4 by an adder circuit 12 to be supplied to the sounding body 202. The circuit 10 is constituted of a D/A converter, and an output direct current voltage is changed when a value of a control signal 8, that is a digital signal, is changed. Therefore, the sound pressure is easily changed by switching of the control signal 8, and switching steps are set variously in the number. Feedback resistance of an operation amplifier is switched by an analog switch in another sounding body driver to prevent distortion from being generated. The analog switch is combined with a transistor circuit to allow high speed switching.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A signal tone is used in various electronic devices, such as a mobile phone and a portable personal computer, to notify a user of an incoming call and a state of the electronic device. This signal sound is generally generated by applying an AC voltage to a small sounding body. FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing this kind of sounding body, FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the sounding body, and FIG. 14 is a sectional view of the sounding body. As shown in FIG. 13, the sounding body 202 includes a terminal plate 204, a lower case 206, and the iron core 20.
8, a winding coil 210, a magnet 212, a diaphragm 214, and an upper case 216. As shown in FIG. 14, the iron core 208 is housed inside the coil 210, and the coil 210 is housed inside the annular magnet 212 that forms a magnetic circuit together with the iron core 208.

In this state, the iron core 208, the coil 210,

It is arranged in. The two leads of the coil 210 are respectively connected to the terminals 20 projecting downward from the terminal plate 204.
2A and 202B, respectively, and are entirely housed in a cylindrical upper case 216.

FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing a conventional driving device for driving such a sounding body 202. As shown in FIG. The sounding body drive circuit 222 constituting the drive device 220 is a kind of oscillation circuit, and outputs a rectangular wave voltage having a substantially constant cycle.
The driving device 220 is provided with a switching circuit 2 for switching the volume of the sound generated by the sounding body 202, and thus the sound pressure.
The switching circuit 224 includes a manual switch 226 and resistors 228 and 230. 16A is a waveform diagram showing an output signal of the oscillation circuit, FIG. 16B is a timing chart showing a period in which each terminal of the switch 226 is connected to the contact piece, and FIG. FIG. 4D is a waveform diagram illustrating an output signal, and FIG. 3D is a graph illustrating an output sound pressure of the sounding body 202. In the figure, (A)
The horizontal axis of each drawing of (D) to (D) represents time, and the scales are all the same.

The contact 232 of the switch 226 is connected to a terminal 234.
(The period t in FIG. 16B)
1, t5), the output signal of the sounding body drive circuit 222 (FIG. 16)
(A)) is directly supplied to the sounding body without passing through a resistor, the amplitude becomes + Vcc ((C) in FIG. 16), and the sound pressure becomes maximum ((D) in FIG. 16). On the other hand, when the contact piece 232 is switched to the terminal 236 (periods t2 and t4 in FIG. 16B), the output signal of the sounding body drive circuit 222 is supplied to the sounding body 202 through the resistor 228, and the amplitude is, for example, Since V11 is 2/3 of + Vcc, the sound pressure is at an intermediate level. Further, when the contact piece 232 is switched to the terminal 238, the output signal of the sounding body drive circuit 222 is supplied to the sounding body 202 through the larger resistor 230, and the amplitude becomes, for example, V12 of 1/3 of + Vcc. , The sound pressure is lowest. Therefore, the user of the electronic device can set the volume of the signal sound to a desired level by switching the switch 226 as necessary.

[0006]

However, in such a conventional sounding body driving device, if the number of sound pressure switching steps is increased in order to improve convenience, for example, the number of resistors is increased according to the number of steps. It is necessary to increase the number of parts, and the number of components increases, which causes problems such as an increase in cost and an increase in mounting area. Further, since the hardware needs to be changed, the number of switching stages cannot be easily changed.

Further, when the switch 226 is switched, the DC level of the signal supplied to the sounding body 202 changes, so that the diaphragm 214 vibrates in a state where the center position of the vibration amplitude is deviated, thereby distorting the sound. This can be a problem, depending on the application. Further, since the switch 226 is manually switched, it cannot be switched at a high speed, and it is impossible to generate a signal sound whose sound pressure changes periodically, for example. It is possible to switch the resistance by replacing the switch 226 with an analog switch, but if it is simply replaced, the ON resistance of the analog switch becomes a problem, and the efficiency is reduced.

The sounding body driving device according to the present embodiment is generated depending on the magnitude of the DC voltage when an AC voltage is applied to the sounding body 202 shown in FIGS. 12 to 14 while being superimposed on a DC voltage (bias). It utilizes the property of the sounding body 202 that the sound volume changes. That is, as shown in FIG. 13 and the like, since the sounding body 202 is configured using a magnetic circuit including the magnet 212, even if the amplitude of the AC voltage is constant, the sounding body 202 sounds depending on the magnitude and polarity of the DC voltage. The sound pressure of the sound generated by the body 202 changes. FIG. 3 is a graph showing such a change in the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202. In the figure, the vertical axis represents the output sound pressure, and the horizontal axis represents the bias. As shown in FIG. 3, the sound pressure changes almost in proportion to the bias.
When it is increased to 2, Ib3, the sound pressure changes to small, medium, and large.

The oscillation circuit 4 generates a rectangular wave having a substantially constant cycle, and includes an operational amplifier having a feedback circuit from an output terminal to an input terminal. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the oscillation circuit 4 includes an operational amplifier 14, resistors 16, 18, and 20, and a capacitor 22. The resistor 16 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier and the inverting input terminal 24, and the capacitor 22 is connected between the inverting input terminal 24 and the ground. The resistor 18 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier and the non-inverting input terminal 26,
0 is connected between the non-inverting input terminal 26 and the ground. The operational amplifier 14 is supplied with a positive voltage Vcc and a negative voltage -Vcc as power supplies.

On the other hand, the adder circuit 12 is constituted by a voltage adder circuit using an operational amplifier, and more specifically, comprises an operational amplifier 28 and resistors 30 and 32 as shown in FIG.
The resistor 30 is connected between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 28 and the inverting input terminal 2.
The resistor 32 is connected between the inverting input terminal 24 of the operational amplifier 28 and the output terminal of the operational amplifier 14. The operational amplifier 28 has a positive voltage V
cc and a negative voltage -Vcc.

In this embodiment, the voltage generating circuit 10 comprises a D / A converter, and the output terminal 34 is connected to the non-inverting input terminal 26 of the operational amplifier 28.
In the present embodiment, a control signal 8 of a digital signal is supplied from a microcomputer (not shown) to the control terminal 36 of the voltage generation circuit 10. The terminal 202A of the sounding body 202 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier 28 and the terminal 20A.
2B is connected to the ground.

Next, the operation of the sounding body driving device 2 configured as described above will be described. 4A to 4C are waveform diagrams showing signal waveforms of various parts of the sounding body driving device 2, and FIG. 4D is a graph showing the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202. The horizontal axis of each of the drawings (A) to (D) represents time,
The scales are all the same. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing switching of the sound volume.

In the oscillation circuit 4, the capacitor 22 is repeatedly charged and discharged. As a result, the output terminal of the operational amplifier 14 outputs a rectangular wave AC voltage as shown in FIG. Supplied. On the other hand, the control signal 36 of the digital signal is supplied to the control terminal 36 of the voltage generating circuit 10 as described above in order to set the sound pressure.
Steps S1 and S2), the voltage generation circuit 10 generates a bias voltage having a magnitude corresponding to the magnitude of the value represented by the digital signal (steps S3, S4 and S5 in FIG. 5), and the non-inversion of the operational amplifier 28 It is supplied to the input terminal 26. In addition,
In the present embodiment, the digital value of the control signal 8 is, as an example, as shown in FIG.
It is assumed that switching is made to three stages of Ib1.

The addition circuit 12 adds the bias voltage from the voltage generation circuit 10 to the AC voltage from the oscillation circuit 4, and as a result, the output voltage waveform of the operational amplifier 28 becomes as shown in FIG.
(C). That is, the value of the control signal 8 is the largest before the timing T1 and after the timing T4. At this time, the voltage V1 which is about half of the power supply voltage Vcc is added to the rectangular waveform AC signal as a bias voltage at the output of the operational amplifier 28. State. As a result, during these periods, the vibration of the sounding body 202 oscillates at the maximum amplitude (step S6 in FIG. 5), and the sound pressure of the sound generated by the sounding body 202 is as shown in FIG. (Step S7 in FIG. 5).

On the other hand, the value of the control signal 8 is an intermediate value in each of the periods from the timing T1 to T2 and from the timing T3 to T4. At this time, in the output of the operational amplifier 28, almost the ground level voltage is used as the bias voltage. ,
A state is added to the rectangular waveform AC signal. as a result,
During these periods, the vibration of the sounding body 202 oscillates at an intermediate amplitude (step S8 in FIG. 5), and the sound pressure of the sound generated by the sounding body 202 is, as shown in FIG. (Step S9 in FIG. 5).

During the period from the timing T2 to the timing T3, the value of the control signal 8 is the smallest. At this time, the output of the operational amplifier 28 has a voltage V2 which is about half of the power supply voltage -Vcc as a bias voltage and a rectangular waveform AC. It is in the state of being added to the signal. As a result, during these periods, the vibration of the sounding body 202 oscillates with the minimum amplitude (step S10 in FIG. 5), and the sound pressure of the sound generated by the sounding body 202 is reduced to the level shown in FIG.
(D), it becomes the smallest (step S11 in FIG. 5).

In this embodiment, when the number of sound pressure switching stages is further increased from three, the digital value of the control signal 8 supplied to the voltage generation circuit 10 may be further increased from three. Only by changing the control signal 8, the number of sound pressure switching stages can be changed very easily. Further, since the control signal 8 is merely changed, the cost and the mounting area are not increased unlike the related art. Further, the sound pressure can be switched at a high speed by switching the control signal 8, so that the sound pressure is switched while the sounding body 202 is continuously sounding to generate a signal sound in which the sound pressure is periodically switched. It becomes possible to do.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 6 is a circuit diagram showing a sounding body driving device according to the second embodiment. In the figure, the same elements as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a description thereof will be omitted here. The sounding body driving device 40 shown in FIG. 6 differs from the sounding body driving device 2 in that the connection of one of the power supply terminals of the operational amplifiers 14 and 28 is changed from -Vcc to ground. As a result, the output voltages of the operational amplifiers 14 and 28 change between the ground and + Vcc, and the signal waveforms of the respective parts are as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C. That is, the AC signal generated by the oscillation circuit 4 is a rectangular wave that changes between the ground and + Vcc, as shown in FIG. The amount of change when the value of the control signal 8 is switched is smaller than that in the case of the sounding body driving device 2, and FIG.
(B), Ib3 ′, Ib2 ′, Ib
It is assumed that switching is made to three stages of 1 '.

As shown in FIG. 7C, the output signal of the adding circuit 12 changes around the voltages V1, V3, and V4 between the ground and + Vcc in response to the switching of the control signal 8. Is a rectangular wave. That is, the polarity is always positive and constant. When the DC level of the output signal of the adding circuit 12 changes in this way, the sounding body 20
The output sound pressure of No. 2 is large, as shown in FIG.
Switch between medium and small. Also in the second embodiment, in order to increase the number of sound pressure switching stages, the number of types of digital values of the control signal 8 supplied to the voltage generation circuit 10 may be further increased. The number of pressure switching stages can be changed very easily. Further, since the control signal 8 is merely changed, the cost and the mounting area are not increased unlike the related art. Then, the sound pressure can be switched at high speed by switching the control signal 8, so that the sound pressure is switched while the sounding body 202 is continuously sounding to generate a signal sound in which the sound pressure is periodically switched. It becomes possible to do.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 8 is a circuit diagram showing a third embodiment. In the figure, the same elements as those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a description thereof will be omitted here. As shown in FIG. 8, the sounding body driving device 42 includes an oscillation circuit 4 and a sound pressure control circuit 44 to which an output signal of the oscillation circuit 4 is supplied.

The sound pressure control circuit 44 includes an operational amplifier 28,
A power supply 46 for applying a DC voltage to the non-inverting input terminal 26 of the operational amplifier 28; an output terminal of the oscillation circuit 4;
8 connected to the inverting input terminal 24, and 5
0, 52, 54 and analog switches 56, 58, 6
0 are connected in series, and three feedback series circuits 62, 64, and 66 are formed.
66 is connected in parallel between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 28 and the inverting input terminal 24,
An analog switch is turned on at the control terminals 36 of 8, 60.
The control signal 68 to be turned off is input. It is assumed that the resistance values of the resistors 50, 52, and 54 decrease in this order. The terminal 202A of the sounding body 202 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier 28, and the other terminal 202B
Is connected to the ground.

Next, the operation of the sounding body driving device 42 thus configured will be described. FIGS. 9A to 9C are waveform diagrams showing waveforms of respective parts in the sounding body drive device according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 9D is a graph showing the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202. In the drawings, the horizontal axis of each of the drawings (A) to (D) represents time, and the scales are all the same. As shown in FIG. 9B, during a period t1 in which the high-level control signal 68 is supplied to the analog switch (AS) 56 and the analog switch 56 is turned on, the feedback resistance of the operational amplifier 28 becomes the resistance 50. Since the resistance of the resistor 50 is the largest, the amplification of the sound pressure control circuit 44 becomes maximum. Therefore, during this period, as shown in FIG. 9C, the output signal of the oscillation circuit 4 (FIG. 9A) is amplified most greatly, and the sound pressure control circuit 44
The amplitude of the rectangular wave output from the signal becomes maximum. As a result, FIG.
(D), the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202 becomes maximum.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9B, during a period t2 in which the high-level control signal 68 is supplied to the analog switch 58 and the analog switch 58 is turned on, the feedback resistance of the operational amplifier 28 is a resistance. Since the resistance 52 has an intermediate resistance value, the amplification of the sound pressure control circuit 44 is at an intermediate level. Therefore, during this period, as shown in FIG. 9C, the output signal of the oscillation circuit 4 is amplified to an intermediate level, and the amplitude of the rectangular wave output from the sound pressure control circuit 44 also becomes the intermediate amplitude. . As a result, FIG.
(D), the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202 is at the middle level.

As shown in FIG. 9B, during a period t3 in which the high-level control signal 68 is supplied to the analog switch 60 and the analog switch 60 is turned on, the feedback resistance of the operational amplifier 28 is a resistance. Since the resistance value of the resistor 50 is the smallest, the sound pressure control circuit 44
Has the minimum amplification. Therefore, during this period, as shown in FIG. 9C, the output signal of the oscillation circuit 4 is amplified with the smallest amplification degree, and the amplitude of the rectangular wave output from the sound pressure control circuit 44 is minimized. As a result, as shown in FIG. 9D, the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202 becomes minimum.

As described above, in the sounding body driving device 42 of the third embodiment, even if the sound pressure is switched by the sound pressure control circuit 44, the DC level of the output signal is constant (V2).
Only the amplitude changes. Therefore, in this case,
The center position of the vibration of the diaphragm 214 constituting the sounding body 202 is always constant even when the sound pressure is switched.
Since the center position of the vibration does not vary greatly, no distortion occurs in the sound even when any sound pressure is switched.
The sound pressure can be switched at high speed by switching the control signal 68. Therefore, the signal pressure is switched while the sounding body 202 is continuously sounding to generate a signal sound in which the sound pressure is periodically switched. It becomes possible to do.
In the third embodiment, each analog switch 5
6, 58, and 60 turn on only one of them.
8 may be supplied to simultaneously turn on a plurality of analog switches. In this case, a resistor in which all the resistors connected in series to the turned on analog switch are connected in parallel becomes a feedback resistor of the operational amplifier 28, and the amplification of the sound pressure control circuit 44 is determined by the value of the feedback resistor. Therefore, by turning on the analog switches 56, 58 and 60 in various combinations, the sound pressure control circuit 4
4 can be set to more various values, and the output sound pressure of the sounding body can be variously switched accordingly.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 10 is a circuit diagram showing a sounding body driving device according to the fourth embodiment. In the figure, the same elements as those in FIG. 6 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a description thereof will be omitted here.

The sound pressure control circuit 72 includes a first analog switch 7 and a second analog switch 7.
4 and 76 and a switching circuit 78. The switching circuit 78 has first and second input terminals 80 and 82, and emits a sound when a low-level voltage is input to the first input terminal 80. The terminal 202A of the body 202 is connected to the ground, the terminal 202B is connected to the positive voltage source + Vcc, and the second
When a high-level voltage is input to the input terminal 82, the terminal 202A of the sounding body 202 is connected to the positive voltage source + Vcc, and the terminal 202B is connected to the ground.

The first analog switch 74 is connected between the output terminal of the oscillation circuit 4 and the first input terminal 80 of the switching circuit 78, and is turned on / off by a control signal 84. Reference numeral 76 is connected between the output terminal of the oscillation circuit 4 and the second input terminal 82 of the switching circuit 78, and is turned on / off by a control signal 84.

The switching circuit 78 will be described in more detail. The switching circuit 78 includes first and second transistors 86 and 88, a first inverting circuit 90, and a first resistor 92. The base is connected to a first input terminal 80 and a first inverting circuit 90

And a second resistor 100, the base of the third transistor 94 is connected to the second input terminal 82, the input terminal of the second inversion circuit 98 is connected to the base of the third transistor 94, and the output terminal is connected to the second input terminal 82. 4 are connected to the bases of the transistors 96, respectively.
The collector of the fourth transistor 96 is connected to the terminal 20 of the sounding body 202.
2A, the emitters are connected to the power supply + Vcc, respectively.
The emitter of the third transistor 94 is connected to the ground, and the collector is connected to the terminal 202B of the sounding body 202.

Next, the operation of the sounding body driving device 70 thus configured will be described. FIGS. 11A to 11C are waveform diagrams showing signal waveforms of various parts of the sounding body driving device 70, and FIG. 11D is a graph showing the output sound pressure of the sounding body 202. In the drawings, the horizontal axis of each of the drawings (A) to (D) represents time, and the scales are all the same. Here, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1B, the high-level control signal 84 is supplied to the first analog switch 74 in the periods t1 and t3 to be turned on, while the high-level control signal 84 is turned on in the period t2. It is supplied to the analog switch 76 to be turned on.

First, in the periods t1 and t3, the first analog switch (AS) 74 is turned on as described above.
When the output signal of the oscillation circuit 4 ((A) in FIG. 11) is at the ground level, a base current flows through the first transistor 86 to turn on the first transistor 86, and on the other hand, to the base of the second transistor 88. Since a high-level voltage is applied through the first inverting circuit 90, the second transistor 88 is also turned on. Therefore, the terminal 2 of the sounding body 202
02A is connected to ground, and a voltage +
Vcc is applied. However, when the output signal of the oscillation circuit 4 ((A) in FIG. 11) is at a high level, none of the transistors is turned on, so that no voltage is applied to the sounding body 202.

In the sounding body drive device of the present invention, the polarity of the voltage applied to the sounding body can be switched between when the first analog switch is turned on and when the second analog switch is turned on. . The switching of the voltage polarity switches the direction of the magnetic field generated by the coil. If the magnetic field generated by the coil before the switching is, for example, the direction of increasing the magnetic field by the permanent magnet, the coil is generated after the switching. The magnetic field is in a direction to cancel and weaken the magnetic field by the permanent magnet. Therefore,
In this case, the DC component of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic circuit before switching is large, while the DC component of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic circuit after switching is small. Therefore, the sound emitted by the sounding body is large before the switching, and conversely, the sound emitted by the sounding body is small after the switching. That is, the sound pressure of the sounding body can be switched depending on which of the first and second analog switches is turned on. And
The sound pressure can be switched at high speed by switching the analog switch, and it is possible to switch the sound pressure while the sounding body is continuously sounding and generate a signal sound that changes periodically. Become.
