Wherein the support assembly comprises: the outer frame 110, the said outer frame 110 has 1 pairs of

power sides

111a and 111b parallel to each other at least, the said

power side

111a and 111b is a straight line side; the magnetic device comprises at least 1 magnet group, the magnet group comprises 2

magnets

magnets

121a and 121b facing the outer frame 110 are parallel to the power edges 111a and 111 b.

The frame 110 is located in the space between the 2

magnets

121a and 121b, and the frame 110 is located between the upper and lower surfaces of each of the

magnets

121a and 121b in a direction z perpendicular to the plane of the frame 110.

respective magnets

121a and 121b in a direction z perpendicular to the plane of the outer frame 110. Therefore, the

magnetic devices

magnets

121a and 121b with regular shapes can be adopted; and a more uniform magnetic field can be obtained without providing a plurality of

magnets

121a and 121b on the same side of the outer frame 110. So the utility model discloses a scanning device is produced more easily, the cost is lower, the installation degree of difficulty is lower.

The support assembly is adapted to position the coil 120 and the scan mirror 130. Specifically, the frame 110 of the support assembly is used to fix the coil 120, thereby providing a directional torque for the vibration of the scan mirror.

A pair of

power sides

111a and 111b of the outer frame 110 correspond to the

magnets

121a and 121b, respectively, and the

power sides

111a and 111b are linear sides, that is, the

power sides

111a and 111b are elongated.

In some embodiments, the

powered edges

111a and 111b are connected by at least one connecting

edge

117a, 117b, and 117 c. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the partial frames 110 that do not correspond to the

magnets

121a and 121b are provided as the multi-sectional linear connecting

sides

117a, 117b, and 117c, so that the partial frames 110 between the first torsion beam 113b and the second torsion beam 115a are 3-sectional linear connecting sides. Specifically, the shape of the outer frame 110 is preferably a regular octagon.

In some embodiments, the outer frame 110 is polygonal. Specifically, the shape of the outer frame is a point-symmetric polygon. The pair of power sides parallel to each other is centrosymmetric with respect to the symmetric center of the outer frame 110.

As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the outer frame 110 is octagonal. Compared with the oval frame, the octagonal frame 110 can reduce the distortion of the scanning pattern and improve the scanning performance. In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the outer frame may also be other shapes, such as a diamond shape (as shown in the outer frame 210 of the scanning device embodiment in fig. 5) or a square shape.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments of the present invention, the supporting component further comprises: 2

anchor areas

112a and 112b, wherein the 2

anchor areas

112a and 112b are located at two sides of the outer frame 110 along a second direction x, and the second direction x is not orthogonal (i.e. oblique) to the extending direction n of the

dynamic sides

111a and 111 b; 2

first torsion beams

113a and 113b, the 2

first torsion beams

113a and 113b connecting

different anchor areas

112a and 112b and the outer frame 110, respectively.

The

anchor areas

112a and 112b are connected to the housing 110 and can be fastened to the housing of the scanning device by fasteners. In this embodiment, the

first torsion beams

113a and 113b respectively connecting the

anchor areas

112a and 112b and the outer frame 110 are slow axes, so that the outer frame 110 can vibrate with the extending direction of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113b as an axis. Wherein, the extending direction of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113b refers to a direction pointing from one end of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113b to the other end.

In some embodiments of the present invention, 2

first torsion beams

113a and 113b have the same shape. Making the 2

first torsion beams

113a and 113b have the same shape can ensure that the 2

first torsion beams

113a and 113b can provide balanced torsion for the vibration of the outer frame 110.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the

first torsion beams

113a and 113b are shaped as linear beams. In other embodiments of the present invention, the first torsion beam may be shaped as a non-linear beam, such as a serpentine beam or a folded beam (as shown in fig. 6 for the

first torsion beams

313a and 313b of the scanning device embodiment). The first torsion shaft is arranged to be a non-linear beam, so that the actual length of the first torsion beam can be prolonged to reduce the rigidity of the torsion beam, and the scanning mirror can obtain a larger rotation angle.

With continued reference to fig. 2, in some embodiments of the present invention, the support assembly further comprises: an inner frame 114, the inner frame 114 being located inside the outer frame 110; and 2

second torsion beams

115a and 115b, the 2

second torsion beams

115a and 115b being positioned at both sides of the inner frame 114 along a third direction y to connect the inner frame 114 and the outer frame 110, the third direction y intersecting the second direction x.

The inner frame 114 is used to mount a scanning mirror 130 and coils (not shown) for reflecting light beams. In this embodiment, the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b connecting the inner frame 114 and the outer frame 110 are fast axes, so that the inner frame 114 can vibrate about the extending direction of the

second torsion beams

115a and 115 b. Wherein, the extending direction of the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b means a direction pointing from one end of the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b to the other end.

As shown in fig. 4, the scan mirror 130 is disposed on the inner frame 114 of the support assembly and is overlapped with the inner frame 114. The material of the scan mirror 130 may be glass or metal. When the material of the scanning mirror 130 is metal, the metal surface can be polished to be a mirror surface; when the material of the scanning mirror 130 is glass, quartz, sapphire, silicon carbide, or the like, the surface of the scanning mirror may be coated to serve as a mirror surface. This arrangement enables the manufacture of a large scan mirror, for example, the scan mirror 130 may be up to a size in the range of 10mm to 20mm, and even the scan mirror 130 may be larger than 20 mm. The scanning mirror 130 may be fixed to the inner frame 114 by welding, bonding, or the like, so that the scanning device may be manufactured at low cost and in a large batch.

It should be noted that the scan mirror may be integrally formed on the inner frame, and may be assembled on the inner frame as a separate component.

In some embodiments, the mirror surface of the scanning mirror 130 may be circular, and the inner frame 114 may be circular and matched with the shape of the scanning mirror 130. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the scanning mirror may also be square, rectangle, triangle, ellipse, or other polygon; the shape of the inner frame can also be square, rectangle, triangle, ellipse or rhombus and other shapes matched with the mirror surface of the scanning mirror.

The utility model discloses some embodiments, 2 the second torsion beam 115a is the same with 115b shape to guarantee 2

second torsion beam

115a and 115b can be for the vibration of inside casing 114 provides the moment of torsion balanced mutually. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b are shaped as linear beams. In other embodiments of the present invention, the second torsion beam may also be shaped as a non-linear beam, such as a serpentine beam (as shown in fig. 6 for

second torsion beams

315a and 315b and fig. 7 for

second torsion beams

415a and 415 b) or a folded beam (as shown in fig. 8 for

second torsion beams

515a and 515 b). The first torsion shaft is arranged to be a non-linear beam, so that the actual length of the first torsion beam can be prolonged to reduce the rigidity of the torsion beam, and the scanning mirror can obtain a larger rotation angle.

In this embodiment, the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b have the same shape as the

first torsion beams

115a and 115b, and are linear beams. In other embodiments, the shape of the second torsion beam is different from the shape of the first torsion beam, i.e. 2 the shape of the second torsion beam is the same, 2 the shape of the first torsion beam is the same, but the shape of the second torsion beam is different from the shape of the first torsion beam.

With continued reference to fig. 2, the magnetic device includes at least 1 magnet set including 2

magnets

121a and 121b to generate a single directed magnetic field. The shape of the magnet is a convex polyhedron.

The

magnets

121a and 121b are generally permanent magnets. The two

magnets

121a and 121b of the same magnet group are located on two sides m of the outer frame 110 along the first direction, and have opposite magnetic poles in the direction z perpendicular to the plane of the outer frame 110 and in the direction parallel to the plane of the outer frame 110, so that the two

magnets

121a and 121b of the same magnet group can generate a single-directional magnetic field in the plane of the outer frame 110.

The

magnets

121a and 121b correspond to the power edges 111a and 111b of the outer frame 110, respectively. Specifically, the

magnets

121a and 121b are respectively disposed outside the power edges 111a and 111b, that is, the directions of the power edges 111a and 111b pointing to the

magnets

121a and 121b are respectively consistent with the directions of the inside of the frame pointing to the outside of the frame.

The surfaces of the

magnets

121a and 121b facing the housing are parallel to the power edges 111a and 111 b. Therefore, in a cross section parallel to the plane of the outer frame 110, in the cross section of the

magnets

121a and 121b, a side close to the outer frame 110 is parallel to the extending direction n of the

power sides

111a and 111 b.

In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, in a cross section parallel to the plane of the outer frame 110, a pair of sides of the cross section of the

magnets

121a and 121b are parallel to the extending direction of the

power sides

111a and 111 b. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the

magnets

121a and 121b have a rectangular cross-sectional shape.

It should be noted that, in order to make the housing of the scanning device smaller and more compact, as shown in the

magnets

621a and 621b of the scanning device embodiment in fig. 9, the cross-sectional shapes of the

magnets

121a and 121b may also be set to be right trapezoid.

As shown in fig. 2, the

magnets

121a and 121b are disposed at diagonally opposite corners of the octagonal frame 110 and are disposed adjacent to the two

power edges

111a and 111b of the frame 110. The

magnets

121a and 121b are shown as being arranged at 45 deg. (as shown in fig. 2, the

magnets

121a and 121b are arranged in the m-direction at an angle of 45 deg. to the extending direction x of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113 b). It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, the distribution of the magnets may be at other angles according to the shape change of the outer frame. In other embodiments of the present invention, the magnet may be disposed at a relative position of the outer frame according to the position symmetry of the first torsion beam and the second torsion beam.

Since the power edges 111a and 111b are linear, the

magnets

121a and 121b are regular in shape, i.e., non-curved. The

magnets

121a and 121b are less difficult to process, and the

magnets

121a and 121b are less costly.

With continuing reference to fig. 2-4, the scanning device further comprises: one or more coils 120.

Since the housing 110 is located in the magnetic field of the single direction generated by the magnetic device, when the driving current is input to the coil 120, the coil 120 is subjected to the lorentz force in the magnetic field, and the coil 120 is fixed to the housing 110, so that the housing 110 vibrates about the extending direction of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113 b. The outer frame 110 is connected to the inner frame 114 through the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b, and the scanning mirror 130 is fixed to the inner frame 114, so that after the outer frame 110 vibrates, the outer frame 110 can drive the inner frame 114 through the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b, so that the scanning mirror 130 generates vibration about the extending direction of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113 b.

On the other hand, the inner frame 114 is also provided with coils 120, similar to the way the outer frame 110 vibrates. When the coil on the inner frame is energized with a driving current, the inner frame 114 also generates a vibration about the extending direction of the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b under the action of the lorentz force applied to the coil, and the mirror 130 generates a vibration about the extending direction of the

second torsion beams

115a and 115 b.

It should be noted that, because the mass of the outer frame 110 is large, the vibration frequency of the outer frame 110 is low; the inner frame can still maintain a higher frequency, so that a larger frequency difference exists between the vibration of the mirror 130 about the extension direction of the

first torsion beams

113a and 113b and the vibration about the extension direction of the

second torsion beams

115a and 115b, thereby enabling the scanning device to scan.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the force applied to the outer frame 110 and the inner frame 114 in the unidirectional magnetic field generated by the magnetic device is not disturbed, the material of the supporting component is nonmagnetic metal, such as copper. In addition, in order to ensure the reciprocating vibration of the outer frame 110 and the inner frame 114, the driving current is an alternating current.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the number of the coils 120 is two, and the coils are respectively stacked on the upper and lower surfaces of the housing 110 in a direction z perpendicular to the plane of the housing 110, and are overlapped with the housing 110. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the coils can be 3, 4, 5, etc. and more, the coils can be stacked on the outer frame in sequence. The number of the coils arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the outer frame may also be unequal, for example, N coils are sequentially stacked on one surface of the outer frame, and M coils are sequentially stacked on the other surface of the outer frame, wherein N, M are integers greater than or equal to 1.

However, the way of stacking the coils on the outer frame along the direction perpendicular to the plane of the outer frame is only an example, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the coils may be stacked left and right in the plane parallel to the outer frame, that is, the coils may also be sequentially surrounded. The coil and the outer frame no longer overlap. (as shown in the arrangement of the coil 720 and the outer frame 710 of the embodiment of the scanning device in fig. 10 and 11, wherein fig. 11 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line B1B2 of the embodiment of the scanning device in fig. 10).

In the foregoing embodiment, the shape of the outer frame is a regular polygon. However, this is merely an example, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the outer frame may be an irregular polygon.

Referring to fig. 12, a schematic top view of another embodiment of the scanning device of the present invention is shown.

The present embodiment is the same as the previous embodiments, and the present invention is not repeated herein. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the outer frame 810 is an irregular polygon.

As shown in fig. 12, in some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the

magnets

821a and 821b is greater than the length of the power edges 811a and 811b along the extending direction n of the power edges 811a and 811 b. The scanning device is based on the fact that the energized coils are subjected to lorentz forces in a magnetic field to effect vibration. According to the lorentz force formula F ═ BIL, where B is the magnetic field strength, I is the energized coil current, and L is the length of the energized coil in the magnetic field, it can be seen that the greater the length of the power side corresponding to the magnet, the greater the lorentz force experienced by the outer frame, the greater the torque force distributed to the respective torsion beams. Therefore, by increasing the length of the power sides 811a and 811b as much as possible, the lorentz force applied to the outer frame 810 can be effectively increased.

In another aspect of the present invention, in some embodiments, the power edges 811a and 811b are connected by at least one connecting

edge

817a, 817b, 817c, 817 d. The connecting

sides

817a, 817b, 817c, 817d of the outer frame 810, which connect the power sides 811a and 811b, are loads of the outer frame vibration, and the smaller the load, the easier the outer frame vibration is when the outer frame receives a constant lorentz force. Therefore, the purpose of reducing the length of the outer frame 810 between the first torsion beam 813b and the second torsion beam 815a can be achieved by reasonably setting the connecting

edges

817a, 817b, 817c and 817d, and further the effect of reducing the vibration load of the outer frame is achieved.

In this embodiment, the connecting

edges

817a, 817b, 817c, and 817d are straight edges. In other embodiments of the present invention, the connecting edge can also be a curved edge. Specifically, as shown in fig. 12, the partial outer frame 810 which does not correspond to the

magnets

821a and 821b is provided with a plurality of straight connecting

sides

817a, 817b, 817c, 817d, that is, the partial outer frame 810 between the first torsion beam 813b and the second torsion beam 815a is provided with a 4-straight connecting side. The connecting

edges

817a, 817b, 817c, and 817d are loads to which the outer frame 810 vibrates, and thus the length of the outer frame between the first torsion beam 813b and the second torsion beam 815a can be reduced by properly setting the lengths and shapes of the connecting

edges

817a, 817b, 817c, and 817 d. In the embodiment of the scanning apparatus shown in fig. 5, the shape of the outer frame 210 is set to be a diamond shape, so that the length of the connecting edge can be reduced as much as possible to reduce the load of the vibration of the outer frame 210.

It should be noted that, in order to increase the driving force of the outer frame 810 as much as possible and reduce the load of the vibration of the outer frame 810 as much as possible, in some embodiments of the present invention, the length of the power edges 811a and 811b is greater than the length of any of the connecting

edges

817a, 817b, 817c, and 817 d.

Further, the case 817 is provided as an irregular polygon to increase the driving force of the outer frame 810 and reduce the load of the vibration of the outer frame 810, which is only an example. The utility model discloses in other embodiments, also can set up the frame into reasonable regular polygon to reach this purpose. In the embodiment of the scanning apparatus shown in fig. 13, the shape of the outer frame 910 is octagonal, and the octagonal outer frame 910 is axisymmetric with the extending directions of the

first torsion beams

913a and 913b and the

second torsion beams

915a and 915b as symmetry axes, respectively. In addition, the

power sides

911a and 911b of the octagonal frame 910 are extended to increase the driving force. The shape of the outer frame 817 can be considered as a diamond with corners truncated in the direction of the diagonal perpendicular.

In addition, the driving force of the frame vibration can be increased not only by extending the length of the power edge, but also by increasing the number of magnet groups in the magnetic device to increase the magnetic field intensity and increase the number of power edges. As shown in fig. 14, the magnetic device of the scanning apparatus includes 2 sets of magnet groups, a first magnet

group including magnets

1021a and 1021b and a second magnet

group including magnets

1022a and 1022b, respectively, so that the sides of the outer frame opposing the

magnets

1021a and 1021b in the first magnet group are first power sides 1011a and 1011b, and the sides of the outer frame opposing the

magnets

1022a and 1022b in the second magnet group are

second power sides

1012a and 1012 b. The driving force for the frame 1010 with 2 dynamic sides to vibrate tends to be greater; the length of the outer frame between the power edges is inevitably reduced due to the increase of the number of the power edges, and the vibration load of the outer frame is also reduced; in addition, according to the calculation formula of the lorentz force, the required current is smaller under the condition of generating the same driving force due to the increase of the magnetic field intensity, so that the current in the coil can be reduced and the energy consumption can be reduced by increasing the driving force by increasing the magnetic field intensity.

In summary, the outer frame between 2 magnets in the same magnet group has at least 1 pair of power sides which are parallel to each other and are straight sides, and the surface of the magnet facing the outer frame is parallel to the power sides; in addition, the outer frame is located at a position between the upper and lower surfaces of each of the magnets in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the outer frame. Therefore, the magnetic device in the technical scheme can be compactly matched with the outer frame without being arranged in a bent shape, so that a magnet with a regular shape can be adopted; and a more uniform magnetic field can be obtained without arranging a plurality of magnets on the same side of the outer frame. So the utility model discloses a scanning device is produced more easily, the cost is lower, the installation degree of difficulty is lower. Furthermore, in the alternative of the present invention, the power edges are connected to each other by at least one connecting edge. The connecting edges are connected with the power edges to form the outer frame, so that the lengths of the edges of the outer frame except the power edges can be reduced as much as possible according to actual needs, and the vibration load of the outer frame can be effectively reduced; on the other hand, along the extension direction of the power edge, the length of the magnet is greater than that of the power edge, so that the driving force of the vibration of the outer frame can be effectively improved; therefore, the reduction of load and the improvement of driving force are beneficial to the improvement of driving efficiency and the control of magnet cost.

Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one of ordinary skill in the pertinent art without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
