A planar substrate coil 4 is attached to the base member 2, and a magnet 5 is attached to the movable member 3. The planar substrate coil 4 includes a driving coil 4A, and the coil 4A and the magnet 5 constitute a driving unit of the lens driving device 1. In the illustrated example, the movable member 3 is a cylindrical member having a rectangular outer edge in plan view, and includes a magnet holding portion 3 </ b> A that holds the magnet 5 inside the corner portion.

  The base member 2 has an opening 2A. A support surface 2B along the XY plane is provided around the opening 2A, and the planar substrate coil 4 is supported on the support surface 2B. In the illustrated example, the base member 2 includes an outer edge that is rectangular in plan view.

  The movable member 3 is supported by the base member 2 via a support wire 6. The support wire 6 extends along the Z direction (optical axis direction) in the drawing, and one end thereof is fixed to the base member 2 side (the wiring member 20 provided on the base member 2), and the other end is movable. It is fixed to the member 3 side (upper leaf springs 9B and 9C fixed to the movable member 3). The movable member 3 is suspended and supported by a support wire 6, and is supported so as to be movable in the XY direction (direction intersecting the optical axis) by the bending of the support wire 6. In the illustrated example, a plurality (four) of the support wires 6 are provided, one end of the support wire 6 is fixed to the four corners of the base member 2 having an outer edge that is rectangular in plan view, and the movable member 3 is movable to the outside thereof. A stopper 2C for limiting the range is provided.

The lens frame 7 is a cylindrical member provided with a screw portion 7A to which a lens barrel (not shown) is attached, and a focus coil 8 is wound around a coil holding portion 7B provided on the outer periphery. The lens frame 7 is disposed inside the movable member 3 that is a cylindrical member, and a magnetic gap is formed between the magnet 5 attached to the movable member 3 and the focus coil 8.

  The lens frame 7 is supported by a plate spring 9 so as to be movable along the optical axis direction (Z direction in the drawing). The plate spring 9 includes a lower plate spring 9A that elastically connects the lower end 7C of the lens frame 7 and the lower end 3B of the movable member 3, an upper end 7D of the lens frame 7, and an upper end 3C of the movable member 3. Upper leaf springs 9B and 9C that are elastically connected are provided. The upper leaf springs 9B and 9C are constituted by two symmetrical members.

  The planar substrate coil 4 has a multi-layered insulating layer and is a planar arrangement of driving coils 4A. The coil 4A may be one in which a winding is wound in a planar manner on one insulating layer, or may be one in which a winding is wound in multiple stages around a multilayer insulating layer. In addition, although the planar substrate coil 4 in this Embodiment uses resin as an insulating layer, in other embodiment, not only this but a film material etc. may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the planar substrate coil 4 supported by the base member 2 having a rectangular outer edge is arranged so that the coils 4A are positioned at the four corners of the base member 2, and the linear portions of the adjacent coils 4A are arranged. They are arranged so that their directions intersect each other. The four coils 4 </ b> A are disposed to face the four magnets 5 attached to the movable member 3.

That is, the drive unit of the present embodiment has two drive axes Da. The drive axis Da is an axis that passes through the center of the thrust generation source and that is indicated by the direction in which the movable frame 3 moves when the drive coil 4A is energized. When there is one coil and one magnet, the drive shaft Da passes through the center of the thrust generation source. However, when a plurality of coils or magnets are used for the same drive shaft, the direction of the resultant force is driven. It becomes an axis.

As shown in FIG. 4, a position sensor 10 is mounted on the planar substrate coil 4. The position sensor 10 detects a moving position of the movable member 3 by detecting a magnetic field change of the magnet 5 attached to the movable member 3, and a Hall element or the like is used. The position sensor 10 is disposed at a position corresponding to the corner of the base member 2 so as to face two of the four magnets 5. In the example shown in the figure, two position sensors 10 are arranged at the core portions of two adjacent coils 4A so that their directions intersect each other. Thus, the magnet 5 drives the movable member 3 and is also used for position detection. Each of the two position sensors 10 is disposed on the drive shaft Da of the drive unit.
In other embodiments, a dedicated magnet for position detection may be provided, or a magnet provided for a purpose other than driving may be used for position detection.
In other embodiments, the position sensor 10 may be arranged at a position that does not overlap the coil 4A in plan view.

  The planar substrate coil 4 includes lead wires 11 and 12 drawn from the coil 4A. Of the lead wires 11 and 12, one lead wire 11 is connected to the input terminal portion 13, and the other lead wire 12 is connected in series to each other in the coil 4A.

  Further, the planar substrate coil 4 includes a wiring 14 to which the position sensor 10 is connected and a terminal portion 15 in a part of the insulating layer. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the terminal portion 15 is provided on the core portion of the coil 4 </ b> A in the planar substrate coil 4. The wiring 14 connected to the terminal portion 15 extends on the insulating layer of the planar substrate coil 4, and is connected to a planar concave connection land portion 16 provided on the peripheral portion of the planar substrate coil 4. The wiring 14 can be disposed at a position overlapping the coil 4A in a planar manner by being disposed in an insulating layer different from the layer in which the coil 4A is disposed.

  On the other hand, the wiring member 20 is provided in the base member 2. The wiring member 20 is, for example, a lead frame, and is integrally formed (insert molding) on the resin base member 2. An end portion 20A of the wiring member 20 is drawn out to the outer peripheral portion of the base member 2, and serves as a connection terminal to the circuit board. The wiring member 20 is not limited to a lead frame, and various wiring structures can be employed. For example, the wiring member 20 may be formed by MID (Molded Interconnect Device) technology. .

  The base member 2 is provided with a terminal protrusion 20 </ b> P for connecting the wiring member 20 and the planar substrate coil 4. The terminal protrusion 20P can be constituted by a part of the wiring member 20 such as a lead frame, or can be formed by protruding a pin-like member connected to the wiring member 20 on the support surface 2B. Further, the terminal protrusion 20P can be formed by providing a protrusion on the base member 2 itself and integrally forming it with the MID technique or the like.

  The terminal protrusion 20P is provided so as to protrude from the surface (for example, the support surface 2B) of the base member 2, and the planar substrate coil 4 is side-connected to the terminal protrusion 20P. Thereby, it becomes a connection structure in which solder does not enter between the flat substrate coil 4 and the support surface 2B.

The structure of the side connection between the terminal protrusion 20P and the planar substrate coil 4 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. A part of the terminal protrusion 20 </ b> P is disposed in the vicinity of the planarly concave connection land 16 provided on the peripheral edge of the planar substrate coil 4. Further, the terminal protrusion 20 </ b> P is disposed so that the other part penetrates the input terminal portion 13 of the planar substrate coil 4. Thus, the connection land portion 16 and the terminal protrusion 20P are arranged at a distance that can be connected by a conductive member such as solder. As shown in FIG. 6B, the connection land portion 16 is provided with a land surface 16a, and the input terminal portion 13 is also provided with a similar land surface.
In the example shown in the figure, the land surface on which the solder is placed is an upward surface. However, it is possible to connect the upper and lower layers to a land surface by connecting a plating or copper foil to the cross-sectional portion. The entire portion 16 can be a land surface. In this regard, as for the input terminal portion 13, the entire input terminal portion 13 can also be a land surface.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the terminal protrusion 20 </ b> P disposed in the input terminal portion 13 or the connection land portion 16 is soldered from the surface side of the planar substrate coil 4 by the solder 21. Connected to. The solder 21 entering the hole of the input terminal portion 13 or the concave portion of the connection land portion 16 connects the terminal protrusion 20P and the planar substrate coil 4. In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, the base member 2 is provided with a support surface 2B that directly supports the bottom surface of the planar substrate coil 4 and a terminal projection 20P that projects along the side surface of the planar substrate coil 4. The planar substrate coil 4 is electrically connected to the terminal protrusion 20P.

  As a result, the bottom surface of the planar substrate coil 4 is supported on the support surface 2B of the base member 2 without a gap, and compared with a connection structure in which solder is interposed between the planar substrate coil 4 and the support surface 2B. It can be configured to be thin. Also, since the soldering operation can be performed from the surface side of the planar substrate coil 4 while visually recognizing the terminal protrusion 20P, the workability is good and a reliable connection is possible.

  In addition, by providing the planar substrate coil 4 with wiring (drawing wirings 11 and 12 and wiring 14) and the terminal portion 15, a complicated wiring structure and terminal structure in the base member 2 can be omitted. Thereby, the base member 2 can be reduced in size, and the coil 4 </ b> A and the position sensor 10 can be disposed on the reduced base member 2 in a space efficient manner. Since the wiring in the planar substrate coil 4 can be wired in multiple stages using a multi-layered insulating layer, high-density wiring is possible over a narrow surface area. As a result, the lens driving device 1 can be further reduced in size.

  As described above, the mobile electromagnetic drive device (lens drive device 1) according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with the terminal protrusion 20P protruding on the surface of the base member 2, and the planar substrate coil 4 is provided on the terminal protrusion 20P. Since it is connected to the side, there is no need to hold and hold the lead wire of the coil with a jig, and since it can be soldered from the surface side of the flat substrate coil 4, it is an operation in a space on a narrow base member. Also, good workability can be obtained. Moreover, since the terminal protrusion 20P located in the input terminal part 13 or the connection land part 16 can be reliably soldered while visually recognizing the terminal protrusion 20P, connection failure can be suppressed, and yield and quality can be suppressed. Improvements can be made.
