【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、複写機のトナー帯電用などに用いられる高電圧DC/DCコンバータや液晶バックライト用インバータなどに用いられるDC/ACインバータなどに利用される圧電振動子矩形板の機械振動を利用した圧電トランスに関し、特に圧電トランスの入力電極構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、圧電振動子矩形板を応用したデバイスとして圧電トランスがよく知られている。現在、圧電トランスに用いる振動子として、セラミックやニオブ酸リチウム単結晶を用いることが多く、一般的な構造としては、図5に示すように、圧電振動子矩形板51の表面及び裏面にそれぞれ電力を入力する入力電極52a,52bを、側面に電力を出力する出力電極53が形成されたものである。入力電極52a,52b間に圧電振動子矩形板51の長さ方向の共振周波数にほぼ等しい交流電圧を印加すると、圧電振動子矩形板51は長さ方向に振動する。この時、出力電極53には、圧電効果により高圧出力を発生する。
【0003】
図6(b)は、図5に示す圧電トランスの入力側を積層構造とした従来の積層型圧電トランスの構成を示した斜視図である。図6(a)は図6(b)に示した各積層体を積層してなる積層型圧電トランスの構造を示した斜視図である。図6(a)に示すように、積層型圧電トランスの入力側は内部電極63を有するセラミック層62aと内部電極64を有するセラミック層62bを交互に積層した構造である。内部電極63同志を外部電極65a、内部電極64同志を外部電極65bを用いて接続し、各々の外部電極を入力電極としている。図6(c)は図6(b)に示した圧電トランスのA−A′線断面図である。
【0004】
また、圧電トランスとしての特性は、共振先鋭度Qに大きく依存するが、例えばQの大きなニオブ酸リチウム単結晶を用いた圧電トランスでは500以上の昇圧比を得ることが可能である。例えば、入力電圧2V時の出力電圧は1kV以上である。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】

【0006】
本発明の課題は、駆動回路や圧電トランスの発熱を抑えることにあり、それに伴い、圧電トランスを用いたデバイスの効率の向上と信頼性の向上を可能とする圧電トランスを提供することである。

【0009】
さらに、本発明によれば、前記内部電極層の内、奇数番目の内部電極層同士を一組、偶数番目の内部電極層同士を一組とし、前記一組の奇数番目の内部電極層と前記一組の偶数番目の内部電極層のいずれか一方の各内部電極層が第1乃至第N(Nは2以上の自然数)の内部分割電極を有し、他方の各内部電極層が共通の内部電極を有し、前記一方の一組の内部電極層の中の各内部分割電極の内共通する内部分割電極同士をそれぞれ前記圧電振動子矩形板に形成された外部電極群の中の対応する外部電極に接続し、前記他方の一組の内部電極層の中の共通内部電極同士を前記圧電振動子矩形板に前記外部電極群とは別に形成された単一の共通外部電極に接続して、前記各外部電極を入力電極としていることを特徴とする圧電トランスが得られる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention utilizes mechanical vibration of a piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate used for a high voltage DC / DC converter used for toner charging of a copying machine, a DC / AC inverter used for an inverter for a liquid crystal backlight, and the like. The present invention relates to a piezoelectric transformer, and more particularly to an input electrode structure of a piezoelectric transformer.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a piezoelectric transformer is well known as a device to which a piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate is applied. At present, ceramics and lithium niobate single crystals are often used as vibrators used in piezoelectric transformers. As a general structure, power is applied to the front and back surfaces of a piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate 51 as shown in FIG. Input electrodes 52a and 52b, and output electrodes 53 that output power are formed on the side surfaces. When an AC voltage substantially equal to the resonance frequency in the length direction of the piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate 51 is applied between the input electrodes 52a and 52b, the piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate 51 vibrates in the length direction. At this time, the output electrode 53 generates a high voltage output due to the piezoelectric effect.

FIG. 6A is a perspective view showing the structure of a laminated piezoelectric transformer formed by laminating the laminated bodies shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6A, the input side of the multilayer piezoelectric transformer has a structure in which ceramic layers 62a having internal electrodes 63 and ceramic layers 62b having internal electrodes 64 are alternately stacked.

For example, a piezoelectric transformer using a lithium niobate single crystal having a large Q can obtain a step-up ratio of 500 or more. For example, the output voltage when the input voltage is 2 V is 1 kV or more.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the piezoelectric transformer according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the piezoelectric transformer according to the first embodiment includes input electrodes 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b, 14a, 14b, 15a, and 15b divided into four on the piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate 11 and an output voltage. Is formed. The dimensions of the piezoelectric vibrator rectangular plate used in the experiment were 40 mm × 10 mm × 1.5 mm, and a PZT ceramic single plate was used.
[0012]
A drive circuit as shown in FIG. 4 was used. Since the piezoelectric transformer of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 has four input electrodes, four circuits shown in the circuit example of FIG. 4 are used. The experiment was performed by setting the load of the piezoelectric transformer to 100 kΩ and adjusting the input so that the output power at this time was constant. The temperature of the FET and the piezoelectric transformer before driving was 25 ° C.
[0013]
Table 1 below shows experimental results when the conventional piezoelectric transformer and the piezoelectric transformer according to the first embodiment of the present invention are driven by the drive circuit shown in the circuit example of FIG.
[0014]
[Table 1]
Figure 0003881718
[0015]
The capacitance per set of divided input electrodes of the piezoelectric transformer of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is about 0.5 nF. In Table 1 above, the conventional single-plate piezoelectric transformer originally has a small input capacitance and the FET and piezoelectric transformer hardly generate heat. However, when the piezoelectric transformer of the present invention is driven, the FET and piezoelectric transformer generate no heat. The conversion efficiency has been improved.
[0016]
Next, a piezoelectric transformer according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of a piezoelectric transformer according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

On the other hand, when the piezoelectric transformer according to the present embodiment is driven, the heat generation of the FET and the piezoelectric transformer is almost less, and the conversion efficiency is improved. Further, when the internal divided electrodes 23a, 23b, 23c, and 23d on the ceramic layer 22a are electrically connected and driven, the same result is obtained. Further, the internal divided electrodes 24a, 24b on the ceramic layer 22b are obtained. Similar results were obtained when 24c and 24d were electrically connected and driven.
[0021]
Next, a piezoelectric transformer according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of a piezoelectric transformer according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The input side of the piezoelectric transformer shown in FIG. 3B is formed by laminating, and as shown in FIG. 3A, a ceramic layer 32a having internal divided electrodes 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d, and an internal electrode In this structure, the ceramic layers 32b having 34 are alternately stacked.

Here, an experiment similar to that of the second embodiment described above was performed, and a similar result was obtained.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, if the piezoelectric transformer of the present invention is used to drive each divided electrode, the capacitance driven by a single FET can be reduced, so that the heat generation of the FET and the piezoelectric transformer element can be suppressed. This makes it possible to improve the circuit efficiency including the piezoelectric transformer. Furthermore, since it becomes possible to suppress heat generation of the FET and the piezoelectric transformer element, the reliability of the device using the piezoelectric transformer is improved.
