The base 1 has a substantially square plate shape with four sides located in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, respectively. The housing 2 is formed in a substantially square cover shape, is disposed on the front side of the base 1 in the optical axis direction, and is integrally formed as a square case after being connected to the base 1, so that a housing space for housing other components is formed between the base 1 and the housing 2. The top surface of the housing 2 is provided with an opening 21 as a light inlet, and the middle part of the base 1 is provided with a through hole as a light outlet.

In this embodiment, the lens holder 31 is in the shape of an octagonal column, and a through hole 311 for fixing a lens is formed in the middle of the lens holder and penetrates through two end surfaces of the lens holder. The periphery of the magnet bracket 32 is square, and the middle part of the magnet bracket forms an octagonal hole corresponding to the appearance of the lens seat 31.
The first spring assembly 41 is divided into a front-side plate spring 411 and a rear-side plate spring 412. The inner side of the front plate spring 411 is connected to the front end surface of the mirror base 31, and the outer side thereof is connected to the front end surface of the magnet holder. The rear plate spring 412 is connected to the rear end surface of the mirror base 31 on the inner side and to the rear end surface of the magnet holder on the outer side. The front plate spring and the rear plate spring further have elastic arm portions connecting the inner side and the outer side thereof, so that the lens holder 31 can be suspended and supported on the inner peripheral side of the magnet holder 32 and the lens holder 31 can be moved in the direction of the optical axis of the lens.
The second spring member 51 is a linear spring (also referred to as a suspension spring or a suspension wire) extending in a direction parallel to the optical axis, and has one end connected to one side of the base 1 (in the present embodiment, to the circuit board 11 fixed to the base) and the other end connected to one side of the magnet holder 32 (in the present embodiment, to the first spring member fixed to the magnet holder) for supporting the magnet holder 32 (while driving the mirror base together) to be movable in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. The second spring assembly 51 has at least four linear springs, which are respectively disposed at four corners of the lens driving apparatus, that is, connected to four corners of the circuit board and the plate springs.
The lens driving device has focusing and anti-shake functions at the same time. The focusing actuator 4 is used for driving the lens holder 31 to move along the optical axis direction, and mainly comprises a focusing coil 42 and a first magnet assembly 43. In this embodiment, two focusing coils 42 are included, both of which are wound around the X-axis direction and fixed on two opposite outer sidewalls of the lens holder 31 in the X-axis direction. The focusing coil 42 is wound in an oblong shape having two long sides substantially parallel to the Y-axis direction and two short sides substantially parallel to the Z-axis direction, and the short sides should be as short as possible for better driving effect. The first magnet assemblies 43 are fixed to the inside of the magnet holder 32, and are provided in one-to-one correspondence with the focusing coils 42 in the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, two sets of first magnet assemblies 43 are included, and are respectively disposed opposite to the two focusing coils 42. Each set of the first magnet assemblies 43 includes two dipole magnets arranged back and forth in the optical axis direction, each magnet being opposed to one long side of the focusing coil 42, and the two magnetic poles of the magnets being arranged back and forth in the X axis direction, respectively.
The anti-shake actuator 5 is for driving the lens holder 31 to move in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and is mainly fixed to a first anti-shake coil 52 on the rear side of the magnet holder 32, a second magnet assembly 53 fixed to the base 1 side and facing the first anti-shake coil 52 with a space therebetween, the first magnet assembly 43, and a second anti-shake coil 54 fixed to the base 1 side and facing the first magnet assembly 43 with a space therebetween.
Among them, the first anti-shake coil 52 is wound around a direction parallel to the optical axis, and fixed on the rear side of the magnet holder 32 on both sides in the Y-axis direction of the lens holder, and is oblong like the focusing coil 42, the long side of which is parallel to the X-axis direction. It is to be understood that a recess or the like fixing portion may be formed on the rear side of the magnet holder 32, and the first anti-shake coil 52 may be fixed in the recess or the like fixing portion.
The second anti-shake coil 54 is wound around a direction parallel to the optical axis, is fixed to both sides of the opening of the circuit board 11 in the X-axis direction, is also oblong in shape, and has long sides parallel to the Y-axis direction, each of the long sides being disposed opposite to one of the magnetic poles of the magnet in the rear of the group of magnets of the first magnet assembly 43 in the optical axis direction.
In this embodiment, two sets of second magnet assemblies 53 are included, which are respectively fixed on the circuit board of the base 1 and located at two sides of the opening of the base in the Y-axis direction. Each set of the second magnet assemblies 53 includes two bipolar magnets, which are arranged side by side along the side of the base in the Y-axis direction, with a gap left between the adjacent ends of the two magnets, and two magnetic poles of each magnet are arranged back and forth along the Y-axis direction, and each magnetic pole is arranged opposite to one long side of the first anti-shake coil 52 in the optical axis direction.
In order to supply power to the focusing coil 42 and the first anti-shake coil 52 suspended in the center of the driving device, the front plate spring 411 is formed as two independent parts, and is electrically connected to the focusing coil 42 through a conducting wire and is electrically connected to two linear springs in the second spring assembly 51, which are electrically connected to the circuit board 11 as a power supply path of the focusing coil 42. The rear plate spring 412 is also formed as two independent parts, and is electrically connected to the first anti-shake coil 52 through a wire, and is electrically connected to the other two linear springs of the second spring assembly 51, which are electrically connected to the circuit board 11 as a power supply path of the first anti-shake coil 52. The second anti-shake coil 54 is fixed on the circuit board 11 and can be directly electrically connected to the circuit board 11.
In operation, when the focusing coil 42 is energized, the lens holder moves along the optical axis direction under the lorentn magnetic force in the optical axis direction in the magnetic field generated by the first magnet assembly 43, thereby achieving the focusing function. When the shake is detected, the circuit board 11 supplies power to the first anti-shake coil 52, the second anti-shake coil 54, or both the first and second anti-shake coils 52 and 54, so that the anti-shake coil in the magnetic field is subjected to the lorentz force in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction or the combined direction of the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, and the lens holder is controlled to move in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis to counteract the influence of the shake, thereby realizing the optical anti-shake function.
The anti-shake actuator 5 further includes a position detection element 6 fixed to the rear side of the magnet holder 32, a detection center of the position detection element 6 is disposed opposite to a gap between two magnets of one set in the second magnet assembly 53, and a detection range covers adjacent ends of the two magnets. Fig. 2 (a) shows the positional relationship between the position detection element 6 and the second magnet assembly 53 in the optical axis direction when the anti-shake function is not activated and the lens driving device is not shaken. Fig. 2 (b) shows the positional relationship in the optical axis direction of the position detection element 6 and the second magnet assembly 53 when the anti-shake actuator 5 drives the lens to move in the X-axis direction. Fig. 2 (c) shows the positional relationship of the position detection element 6 and the second magnet assembly 53 in the optical axis direction when the anti-shake actuator 5 drives the lens to move in the Y-axis direction. The position detecting element 6 is used for detecting the magnetic field change, and the calculating unit on the circuit board can obtain the specific position of the magnet support 32 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis according to the detected magnetic field change to form closed-loop control. In this embodiment, a hall element is used, and the hall element may be disposed on the front side or the rear side of the first anti-shake coil.
In the actuator of the lens driving device with the anti-shake function, the portion supported by the second spring assembly 51 includes only two sets (a pair of) of the first magnet assembly 43, the pair of focus coils 42, and the pair of first anti-shake coils 52. Compared with four groups of magnets and one focusing coil arranged on four sides or four corners in the prior art, the movable part supported by the second spring assembly 51 is lighter, so that the movement inertia is reduced, the strength requirement on the second spring assembly 51 is reduced, the reaction is more sensitive during OIS driving, the control is easier, and the structure is more compact. In addition, the magnet is arranged on the magnet support only in the X-axis direction, so that when a magnetic field exists on the outer side of the lens driving device in the Y-axis direction, the interference on the operation of the lens driving device is not easy to generate, and the device can normally operate. And also conveniently form the double cameras.
In this embodiment, the second anti-shake coil 54 is an independent wound coil fixed on the front side of the circuit board 11, and in other embodiments, the second anti-shake coil 54 may be a flat coil formed on the circuit board by etching or the like. In this embodiment, the focusing coil 42 is two coils fixed on two opposite outer sides of the lens holder, and in other embodiments, two or more coils may be disposed on each side, so that there are four or more focusing coils. The corresponding first magnet assembly can be split into a plurality of magnets. Similarly, each first anti-shake coil 52 may also be replaced by two or more coils arranged side by side. The second magnet assembly may also be secured directly to the base. Each set of second magnet assemblies may also include three or more magnets arranged side-by-side with a gap formed between adjacent magnets. Further, hall elements may be provided in both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, so that there are two hall elements for detecting the movement positions of the mirror base in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, respectively.
In other embodiments, only one set of focusing coils and one set of first magnet assemblies may be provided, i.e. only one set of focusing coils and first magnet assemblies is provided on one side of the lens holder in the X-axis direction and the other side is not provided. So that the other pair of focus actuators of the other lens driving device can be operated together when the two cameras are combined.

Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications, and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
