The vibrator shown in FIG. 10 has two piezoelectric elements P.
It is composed of a driving A-phase piezoelectric element a1 including ZT1 and ZT2 as one group, similarly a driving B-phase piezoelectric element a2 including two piezoelectric elements PZT3 and PZT4 as one group, and one piezoelectric element plate. Electrode plates A1, A for stacking the sensor piezoelectric elements s1 as shown in the drawing and for supplying electricity between these piezoelectric elements

Then, metal blocks b1 and b2, such as brass and stainless steel, having relatively small vibration damping are provided in front and back so as to sandwich these piezoelectric elements and electrode plates, and the metal blocks b1 and b2 are tightened by tightening bolts c to integrate them. Compressive stress is applied to the piezoelectric element. Further, at this time, an insulating sheet d is inserted between the bolt c and the metal block b2 in order to complete the single piezoelectric element for sensor s1.

An example in which such a vibrator is used in a rod-shaped ultrasonic motor is shown in FIG. In this example, the fastening bolt c of the vibrator has a small-diameter support portion c2 at its tip, and the fixing member g fixed to the tip of this support portion c2 enables the motor itself to be fixed. It also serves to support the rotation of the rotor r and the like. The rotor r contacts the front end surface of the front metal block b1, and the pressure is applied from the fixed member g through the bearing member e and the gear f to the spring case i installed in the rotor r.
It can be given by pressing the coil spring h. The piezoelectric element used for this rod-shaped ultrasonic motor will be described in more detail. One piezoelectric element PZT1 to PZT1 to PZT1 to PZT1-4 is formed by firing piezoelectric ceramics 5 made from powder as shown in FIG. The thickness is 0.5 mm, and two substantially semicircular electrode films 8-1 and 8 are formed on the surface through slits.
-2 is formed, and the electrode film 10 is formed on the entire back surface,
After that, the polarities of the semicircular electrode films 8-1 and 8-2 are polarized in the different directions (+) and (-) on the right and left to give piezoelectric characteristics. As shown in FIG. 10, for example, in the phase A, PZT1 and PZT2 are superposed so that the same polarities of polarization face each other across the electrode plate A1 and the slits overlap at the same time, as shown in FIG. . Similarly, the B phase is also overlapped. That is, as shown in FIG. 13, the direction of polarization of the A-phase piezoelectric element a1 is represented by an arrow 14, and when an AC voltage for driving is applied to the electrode plate A1, the piezoelectric element PZT1 and PZT2 will have a right side and a left side. When one is extended, the other is contracted, and this is alternately repeated to cause bending vibration in the oscillator. B-phase also causes bending vibration in the same state except that the orientation of the slit differs from that of the A-phase by 90 °.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since each piezoelectric element is pre-polarized and then laminated alternately with the electrode plates, a great deal of time is required for polarization. It also took time to assemble the vibrator. Furthermore, considering the handling at the time of the polarization treatment process and the assembly process of the piezoelectric element, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the piezoelectric ceramic to some extent in consideration of the strength, and as a result, the size of the entire element becomes large even if the number of layers is increased. For example, this is an obstacle to miniaturization of ultrasonic motors that can achieve ultra-miniaturization with a diameter approximately the same as or smaller than that of pencils. It was difficult.

This has the great advantage that the stacked piezoelectric elements can be polarized at one time, and washing and drying after using the insulating oil are not necessary, which facilitates the polarization treatment.
Before polarization, the electric resistance between the conductive parts on the inner and outer diameter side surfaces was measured at a measuring voltage of 250 V, and was 2000 MΩ or more, and the insulation between the conductive parts and the electrode films was good. Further, when the electrostatic capacitance (1 kHz) between the conductive portion 3-electrode film 10 and the conductive portions 2-1 and 2-2 on the two outer diameter side surfaces was compared before and after polarization, the increase was 20 to 30% or more. It was also confirmed that it was polarized. In addition, when polarization is performed, soldering or the like may be performed as long as conduction can be established in addition to the contact pin 11. The polarization condition is voltage,
It is related to temperature and time, and is not particularly limited to the conditions of this example.
