ABSTRACT:
A device for driving a piezoelectric vibrator is comprised of an AC power supply for supplying electric power to a piezoelectric vibrator for vibration thereof, a detecting device for detecting current supplied to the piezoelectric vibrator, and a driving circuit interposed between the AC power supply and the piezoelectric vibrator so as to decrease the electric power being supplied to the piezoelectric vibrator as the current flowing therethrough increases. This structure brings a decrease in electric power being supplied to the piezoelectric vibrator when current flowing therethrough is increased during resonance of the piezoelectric vibrator, thereby enabling the restriction or regulation of the expansion and contraction of the piezoelectric vibrator while maintaining resonance thereof.
