Automatic focusing and anti-shaking driving device for micro optical lens
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of micro optical lenses, in particular to the technical field of micro optical lens focusing applied to portable electronic equipment such as mobile phones or tablet computers.
Background
With the development and popularization of portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, the requirement for the camera function attached to the portable electronic devices is relatively increased. In order to focus and zoom the micro optical lens, a driving device is required to be disposed in a narrow space of the micro optical lens to drive the lens to move along the optical axis. The space is small, which limits the types of drive mechanisms that can be used. In the micro optical lens in the prior art, the driving is mainly realized by using a magnet and coil structure, but the structure is relatively complex, the volume is difficult to reduce, and the requirement of product miniaturization cannot be met.
Meanwhile, the micro automatic focusing micro optical lens is widely applied to products such as mobile phones, automobiles, unmanned planes, security monitoring, smart homes and the like. The common miniature automatic focusing miniature optical lens module is driven by a miniature voice coil motor to move up and down in the direction of an optical axis, and the voice coil motor is driven to move through a control chip during photographing, so that the automatic focusing function is realized. When the miniature optical lens is used for taking a picture or taking a picture, the lens cannot keep absolute stability due to human shake or other reasons, a certain offset is generated, and at the moment, the focusing and light incoming amount of the miniature optical lens are influenced, so that the quality of the image acquired by the miniature optical lens is influenced. Generally, such lens deflection occurs in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and the auto-focus voice coil motor can only drive the lens to move in the optical axis direction, so that the problem caused by such lens deflection cannot be solved. An optical anti-shake actuator is added on the basis of an automatic focusing voice coil motor to drive the lens to move in two directions vertical to the optical axis, so that the deflection of the lens can be compensated, and the micro optical lens is helped to acquire better image quality, and the micro optical lens motor is called as a micro optical anti-shake micro optical lens motor.
The real sense of the micro optical anti-shake micro optical lens motor is a closed-loop control system, the gyroscope detects the shake parameters of the lens and feeds the shake parameters back to the control chip of the micro optical lens module, and the control chip calculates the corrected angle or displacement according to the position information provided by the lens sensor and sends an instruction to drive the anti-shake actuator to reach the specified position, so that the displacement deflection of the lens caused by shake is corrected, and the photographing or the shooting can obtain better image quality.
In the prior art, the same method can be adopted in two directions perpendicular to the optical axis as driving the lens to move in the optical axis direction, that is, the method can be realized by adopting a miniature voice coil motor. The common miniature voice coil motor generates Lorentz magnetic force in a magnetic field by an electrified coil to drive the lens to move; however, to realize optical anti-shake, the lens needs to be driven in at least two directions, which means that a plurality of coils need to be arranged, and thus, the miniaturization of the whole structure is challenging. For this reason, the micro-actuator using the voice coil motor principle for optical anti-shake generally integrates a plurality of coils on one circuit board, which is called as FP coil, thereby solving the size problem of the optical anti-shake actuator. However, the micro vcm optical anti-shake actuator and the autofocus micro vcm are separate, and the lens is usually mounted in the autofocus micro vcm, and the lens is moved in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, that is, the lens moves along with the autofocus micro vcm. Therefore, the assembly process of the micro optical anti-shake micro optical lens module is more difficult, the structural reliability of the whole micro motor is reduced, the requirement of product miniaturization is difficult to meet, and meanwhile, the Z direction of the micro voice coil motor is lack of displacement feedback, so that the quality of photographing or shooting is influenced.
