[assemble method]
The assemble method of lens driver 10 then, is described with Fig. 3.Among Fig. 3, lens driver shown in Figure 1 10 is shown schematically, and omits spherical magnetic component 30 etc.And, make the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' predetermined fixed periphery at sleeve 15, and pack into the in advance inside of sleeve 15 of the lens barrel 12 that will have a lens 12a.Make the inner peripheral surface of magnet 17 predetermined fixed in yoke 16 again.Moreover magnet 17 adds the crack toward optical axis direction, thereby can be divided into 4.
Among Fig. 3, at first, seat is held 19 be mounted to leaf spring 13 ' and form the present anti-spin slot that holds on 19 and cooperate.Secondly, intervention magnet 17 between bonding four the magnet 17 of being divided on yoke 16, the 1st coil 14 that makes the periphery that is fixed on sleeve 15 and the 2nd coil 14 '.Then, packed in inside fixing present the holding on 19 of yoke 16 of sleeve 15.At this moment, the rear end of sleeve 15 is carried on the most inboard circumferential section of leaf spring 13 '.At last, carrying is leaf spring 13, make the front end of its most inboard circumferential section contact sleeve 15 after, will prevent guard housing 11 and hold 19 and cooperate.Like this, can assemble lens driver shown in Figure 1 10.Moreover leaf spring 13 and leaf spring 13 ' are gone up toward radial outside and are formed ligule part (with reference to figure 3), and this part is the power supply of coil.
The detailed condition of the current supply unit that omission connects about this power supply, but under the situation of the portable telephone of be with camera of for example lens driver 10 being packed into, the control module that is in the inside of the portable telephone of being with camera becomes the current supply unit; Lens driver 10 is packed under the situation of digital camera, and the control module that is in digital camera inside becomes the current supply unit.Like this, this power supply is connected to the control module of high-end devices.So this control module carries out current supply in predetermined timing (being opportunity to receive trigger pip from the sensor of surveying external force for example) to coil.Certainly, control module can freely switch the sense of current of circulation in the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 '.For example, control module can be an opportunity with above-mentioned reception trigger pip, with current supply the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' of prescribed direction.
[limit movement]
Fig. 4 is the key diagram that the situation that moves of restriction sleeve 15 in the explanation lens driver 10 is used.Moreover, among Fig. 4, for convenience of description, identical with Fig. 3, also with lens driver shown in Figure 1 10 diagrams (especially simplify magnetic component 30 near part, the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 '), and the mechanical composition the when right half part that is conceived to optical axis is shown.And it is the N utmost point that magnet 17 is magnetized into radial inward, and radial outward is the S utmost point.
Among Fig. 4 (a), the magnetic flux that sends from the N utmost point of magnet 17 is with the order break-through of sleeve 15 → the 1st coil 14 → yoke 16.The magnetic flux that sends from the N utmost point of magnet 17 is again with the order break-through of sleeve 15 → the 2nd coil 14 → yoke 16.Under this state, among Fig. 4, at the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' the equidirectional electric current (for example from " inside " of paper past " front portion " circulating current) that circulates, so place the 1st coil 14 of switching on and the 2nd coil 14 ' in magnetic field to bear up the electromagnetic force F of (front side) respectively H(No.1) with reference to the arrow among the figure 4 (a).Thereby the sleeve 15 that sets the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' is side shifting forward.
Moreover, in the present embodiment, energising is set with wiring 20 at sleeve 15, the electric current of circulation in the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' is equated, so the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' are gone up the electromagnetic force F that effect equates in fact HBecause whole lens driver 10 is little, can think to equate in fact with magnetic flux by the 2nd coil 14 ' by the magnetic flux of the 1st coil 14 again.
Produce on the other hand, between the front end of leaf spring 13 and sleeve 15, power (the elastic force F that moves of restriction sleeve 15 between the rear end of leaf spring 13 ' and sleeve 15 respectively S1, elastic force F S2) (arrow with reference to figure 4 (a) is No.1).Therefore, among Fig. 4 (a), make the sleeve 15 electromagnetic force F of side shifting forward H+ F HThe elastic force F that moves with restriction sleeve 15 S1+ F S2Equilibrium stops sleeve 15.
Then, when grand photography switches to commonness photograph (not using camera), lens driver 10 from the state transitions shown in Fig. 4 (a) to the state shown in Fig. 4 (b).Specifically describe: under the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' the cold state, do not act on above-mentioned electromagnetic force F on the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' HSo, the elastic force F of leaf spring 13 and leaf spring 13 ' S1, F S2Make sleeve 15 return the source position.
So, act on the magnetic attraction F between magnetic component 30 and the magnet 17 M1And F M2Sleeve 15 is maintained.Thereby, can prevent from that sleeve 15 from producing to wave or rock, and then the deviation of the rest position precision of lens moving body such as when not using camera (or) lens 12a or lens barrel 12 can suppress commonness photograph the time.
Especially in the present embodiment, " origin position " is used as in the position (with reference to figure 4 (b)) (position of the sleeve 15 under the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' the cold state) of the sleeve 15 of when not using camera (or) during with commonness photograph.Then, apply that the equipment that makes the lens driver 10 of packing into falls or some external force such as this vibration equipment (no matter the external force factors such as influence of the influence in the influence of vibrating motor, magnetic field, electric wave how), taking this as an opportunity, the opposite electric current of direction (sense of current of circulation among Fig. 4 (a)) of circulating direction and sleeve 15 is moved time circulation then is pressed into rear side with sleeve 15 in the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 '.
Specifically describe: present hold that to form with leaf spring 13 ' on 19 be the adjacency section 19a of the rear end of intermediary's bearing sleeve 15, the opposite electric current of direction (sense of current that circulates among Fig. 4 (a)) of circulating direction circulation when sleeve 15 is moved then produces direction and the opposite electromagnetic force F of direction shown in Fig. 4 (a) in the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' HR, be intermediary with leaf spring 13 ', sleeve 15 is pressed into adjacency section 19a.As a result, even sleeve 15 is subjected to the external force effect, also be not easy to produce and wave or rock, and then moving of origin position is left in restriction.Moreover, as indicated above, also utilize the magnetic attraction F of magnetic component 30 M1And F M2Restriction sleeve 15 leaves moving of origin position.And leaf spring 13 and leaf spring 13 ' toward the origin position backup, leave the moving of origin position so utilize their effect also to limit sleeve 15 with sleeve 15.
[effect of embodiment]
Illustrated as mentioned, lens driver 10 according to present embodiment, the situation of the electric current that the direction of circulation is opposite when having the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' middle circulating direction and sleeve 15 being moved, therefore during this electric current of actual circulation, sleeve 15 can stop at the origin position (with reference to figure 4 (b)) of regulation.Its result makes sleeve 15 be not easy to produce and waves or rock, and then can improve impact resistance.Especially be intermediary with leaf spring 13 ', the rear end of sleeve 15 be pressed into adjacency section 19a, so can further prevent waving or rocking of sleeve 15 reliably.And, can prevent to wave or rock, then also can prevent to produce the extraordinary noise of " snapping snapping ", and then can improve noise elimination.
Again, in the lens driver 10 of present embodiment, can the mobile of sleeve 15 be restricted by the electric current of adjusting circulation in the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ', even so improve under the situation of impact resistance, also can reduce the intensity magnetic of magnetic component 30 (and can weaken) of leaf spring 13 and leaf spring 13 ', and then can reduce starting current (thereby helping the low consumption electrification).
And, in the time of the opposite electric current of the direction of the 1st coil 14 and the 2nd coil 14 ' circulating direction and sleeve 15 is moved time circulation, the size of this electric current is set at optimum value, thus can the great restraint of corrective action (the electromagnetic force F shown in Fig. 4 (b) HR).So, can utilize easy setting operation, set the current value make the starting current that sleeve 15 begins to move.
As the driving mechanism of lens driver 10, afterburning member (leaf spring 13,13 ') and spherical magnetic component (magnetic bead) 30 are set, thereby can easily sleeve 15 be remained on the origin position of regulation again.But, in the lens driver 10 of present embodiment, the special members (for example afterburning member or magnetic component 30) and nonessential such as spring of restriction sleeve 15 usefulness.Be not provided with under the situation of spring etc., help to cut down manufacturing cost.
[application examples]
