Abstract

See full text

A control method for a piezoelectric drive device includes a first step of executing first control to decrease a frequency of a drive voltage applied to a piezoelectric vibrator from a predetermined first frequency while acquiring a pickup voltage representing vibration amplitude of the piezoelectric vibrator, and a second step of executing second control to increase the frequency of the drive voltage applied to the piezoelectric vibrator to a second frequency as a frequency of the drive voltage applied before a second time when the pickup voltage is higher from a first time to the second time and the pickup voltage is lower from the second time to a third time.
