Abstract
A tactile-sensation presenting device according to the present invention is provided with: a holding part that makes it possible to hold an operable appliance that is operated by an operator by touching; a vibratory actuator that includes a movable member supporting the holding part and a fixed member supporting the movable member so as to allow elastic vibration along a vibration direction, the vibratory actuator driving the movable member in one direction along the vibration direction to generate vibration, which causes a tactile sensation to be given to the operator via the operable appliance; a base to which the fixed member of the vibratory actuator is fixed; and an attenuating part disposed in a state of contact with each of the holding part and the base.
Claims12
A haptic feeling presenting device, comprising:
- a holding part capable of holding operation equipment on which a touch operation by an operator is performed;
- a vibration actuator that includes a movable body supporting the holding part, and a fixed body supporting the movable body such that the movable body is capable of elastically vibrating in a vibration direction, the vibration actuator being configured to drive the movable body in one direction of the vibration direction to generate a vibration as a haptic feeling applied to the operator via the operation equipment;
- a base part to which the fixed body of the vibration actuator is fixed;
- and
- a damper disposed in contact with each of the holding part and the base part, wherein
- the operation equipment is a touch panel, and
- the holding part has a higher rigidity than the touch panel.
A haptic feeling presenting device, comprising:
- a holding part capable of holding operation equipment on which a touch operation by an operator is performed;
- a vibration actuator that includes a movable body supporting the holding part, and a fixed body supporting the movable body such that the movable body is capable of elastically vibrating in a vibration direction, the vibration actuator being configured to drive the movable body in one direction of the vibration direction to generate a vibration as a haptic feeling applied to the operator via the operation equipment;
- a base part to which the fixed body of the vibration actuator is fixed;
- and
- a damper disposed in contact with each of the holding part and the base part, wherein
- at least one of the holding part and the base part includes an accommodating recessed portion for accommodating an end portion of the damper.

- a vibration actuator that includes a movable body supporting the holding part, and a fixed body supporting the movable body such that the movable body is capable of elastically vibrating in a vibration direction, the vibration actuator being configured to drive the movable body in one direction of the vibration direction to generate a vibration as a haptic feeling applied to the operator via the operation equipment;
- a base part to which the fixed body of the vibration actuator is fixed;
- and
- a damper disposed in contact with each of the holding part and the base part, wherein
- a thickness of the damper in an uncompressed state in the vibration direction is larger than a gap between the holding part and the base part.
