VIBRATION MOTOR AND DRIVE DEVICE

To provide a vibration motor which does not become long even if a plurality of vibrators and springs are arrayed.SOLUTION: A vibration motor 1 generates driving force by receiving power and vibrating, and has: a first vibrator 7 with a first protrusion part 5 and a second vibrator 8 with a second protrusion part 6, which transmit the driving force to a driven part 12; a first coil spring 19 energizing the first vibrator 7 and the second vibrator 8 in a drive direction 13, and regulating positions of the first vibrator 7 and the second vibrator 8 in the drive direction 13; and a case 2 accommodating the first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, and the first coil spring 19. The first vibrator 7, the second vibrator 8, and the first coil spring 19 are arrayed in the drive direction 13, and the number of the first coil springs 19 is fewer than the numbers of the first vibrators 7 and the second vibrators 8 in an energizing direction 21.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】振動体及びばねを複数並べても長くならない振動モーターを提供する。【解決手段】振動モーター１は、電力を受けて振動することで駆動力を発生し、被駆動部１２に駆動力を伝達する第１凸部５を備える第１振動体７及び第２凸部６を備える第２振動体８と、第１振動体７及び第２振動体８を駆動方向１３に向けて付勢して駆動方向１３における第１振動体７及び第２振動体８の位置を規制する第１コイルばね１９と、第１振動体７、第２振動体８及び第１コイルばね１９を収容するケース２と、を備え、第１振動体７、第２振動体８及び第１コイルばね１９は駆動方向１３に並び、第１コイルばね１９の数は付勢方向２１において第１振動体７及び第２振動体８の数よりも少ない。【選択図】図２
