Patent number: 10256709Abstract: A linear vibrator that transmits tactile signals to a user of a mobile phone, PDA, or a portable game console. The linear vibrator uses rubber or silicone rubber having lower elasticity as a material of an elastic body secured to a casing or a base for supporting an oscillator horizontally moving by an electromagnetic force relative to a facing stator, thereby lowering the frequency sensitivity due to a characteristic frequency; reducing various errors of parts and errors in part assembly, thus resulting in smaller deviations of characteristic frequencies between products from mass production; and significantly reducing production cost by using an elastic body made of rubber or silicon rubber instead of steel plate or wire, thereby efficiently producing a structure through a simple assembly process and reducing the manufacture facility cost and labor cost resulting in improved productivity.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: MOATECH CO., LTDInventor: Seong-Kwan Oh

Patent number: 9246375Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration generator which is used in devices, such as mobile phones, requiring a vibration mode. More specifically, the invention relates to a horizontal vibration type vibration generator which includes a casing that is open on one surface thereof, a vibration part having a weight provided inside the casing, and a spring mounted inside the casing, and which produces horizontal vibration by using the phenomenon of resonance which occurs by causing oscillation in an electromagnetic force having the same frequency as the intrinsic vibration frequency of the spring, and which solves the problem of a reduction in the life span of the vibration generator due to mechanical friction as seen in existing mechanical vibration generators, and generates a large vibration force despite having a thin construction unachievable in a vertical moving type vibration generator. The invention also relates to a production method of the vibration generator.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: MOATECH CO., LTD.Inventors: Seong-Kwan Oh, Hyuk-Sang Ahn, Ki-Hwan Hong, In-Jae Lee, Hyun-Ki Yang

Patent number: 9135946Abstract: The present invention relates to a PM (Pulse-Width Modulation) type step motor used for conveying an optical pickup lens of media devices or a mobile camera lens. In detail, the present invention relates to a step motor that is composed of a stator, a rotor rotating by interacting with the stator, a lead screw combined with the rotor and rotating with the rotation of the rotor, and a bearing supporting the lead screw and which can perform precise conveying because it can perform fine adjustment and of which the operation state can be precisely sensed by having a position correcting unit that moves the lead screw to a desired position by finely moving it while contracting and stretching and a rotation sensing unit that is disposed at a side of the rotor or a rotary member rotating with the rotor and senses rotation of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2015Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Inventors: Hyun-Ki Yang, Seong-Kwan Oh, Hyok-Sang Ahn, Se-Hee Park

Publication number: 20150123498Abstract: Disclosed herein is a vibration generator which is used to embody vibration for signal reception indication or a haptic function of wireless communication devices such as mobile phones. The vibration generator includes a casing which has a space therein, a stator which is provided in the casing and is provided with a coil along which current flows, a vibrator which is provided in the casing and is horizontally moved by electromagnetic force, an elastic body which is fixed at a first end thereof to the casing and fixed at a second end thereof to the vibrator, and a residual vibration reducer which is provided between the vibrator and the casing to absorb vibration of the vibrator. Therefore, after the vibration of the vibrator is stopped, the time it takes to stop movement of the vibrator can be markedly reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2013Publication date: May 7, 2015Inventors: Hyun-Ki YANG, Seong-Kwan Oh, Hyok-Sang Ahn, Se-Hee Park

Patent number: 8237315Abstract: Disclosed herein is a PM type step motor used to move a camera or an optical pickup lens of media related equipment. The step motor has a stator unit including first and second stators which butt against and are coupled to each other and each have a bobbin and a yoke attached thereto. Terminal blocks of the first and second stators are spaced apart from each other when the first and second stators are coupled to each other, thus allowing an automatic winding operation using winding equipment to be easily performed. The step motor includes a bushing which has in a central portion thereof a through hole through which a rotating shaft passes and is a two-stage structure having a small outer diameter part and a large outer diameter part, thus allowing the stator unit, the rotating shaft and a casing unit to easily be arranged coaxially.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2010Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Moatech Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seong-Kwan Oh, Hyun-Ki Yang, Ki-Hwan Hong, Hyuk-Sang Ahn
