ABSTRACT:
An electronic buzzer comprises an acoustic vibrator comprised of a circular metal plate having its entire periphery rigidly secured to a support, and a piezoelectric element adhered to one face of the metal plate. A driving circuit applies electric driving signals to the vibrator to vibrationally drive it at a 1/N multiple of its natural frequency, where N is an integer, so that the vibrator emits an audible buzzing sound. The metal plate is preferably mounted to undergo vibration in a natural vibration mode having only one nodal circle. The drive circuit includes an inductor connected in a closed loop with the vibrator, which functions as a capacitor, and the circuit applies signals at a selectively variable frequency to the closed loop to accordingly vary the inductance of the inductor to thereby vary the period of oscillation of the acoustic vibrator and the resultant frequency of the buzzing sound.
