The basic first embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but more specific details for carrying out the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a state where the lens holder 2 is cantilevered by the suspension wire 10 with respect to the housing 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 4 is a front view of the housing 10 as seen from the direction of arrow B in FIG. In the figure, the suspension wire 8 has a narrower pair of intervals on the lower side than a pair of intervals on the upper side. The first reason is the manufacturing method, and the second reason is the performance problem. First, manufacturing problems will be described.

FIG. 5 is a sectional view of a mold for molding the part shown in FIG. 3 by injection molding, and FIG.
5B shows a die section of a C1-C2 section, and FIG. 5C shows a die section of a D1-D2 section. In this way, unless the suspension wire 8 is firmly held by the upper die 31 and the lower die 32 of the mold and the molten molding material is injected, the thin suspension wire 8 bends during molding. In FIG. 5, the suspension wires 8a and 8c, 8b and 8d are not vertically arranged vertically. If this is to be arranged vertically and to be firmly held by the mold, side molds must be used instead of the simple mold divided into upper and lower parts as shown in Fig. 5, and the mold structure becomes complicated. Cost and rises. The purpose is to avoid this and simplify the mold structure. The shaded portions in the figure correspond to the lens holder 2 and the housing 10.

The above is the manufacturing problem, and the suspension wires 8 are arranged in such a manner that the dies 21 and 2 are arranged.
It was solved by sandwiching it by 2, but as a result, we found by chance that such an array has a good performance effect. That is, in FIG. 6A, if the disc 24 fixed to the turntable 23 is exaggeratedly written, gravity tends to cause it to hang down in the direction of the arrow E. Most of them work at the center. At this time, the operation is most stable when the point connecting the diagonals of the four suspension wires 8 vibrating vertically and horizontally as shown in FIG. 6B coincides with the neutral point, but the neutral point is lowered by δ. When used, as shown in the diagram on the right side of FIG. 6 (b), the lower pair of four suspension wires 8 are closely spaced and diagonally connecting points are lowered by δ to ensure stable operation.

Next, an example in which the manufacturing problem is solved and the performance is improved will be shown. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of means for solving the bending of the suspension wire 8. The material of the suspension wire 8 is received as a hoop material wound on a reel as shown in FIG. Therefore, if there is a slight curl and the length of the exposed portion when incorporated in the objective lens actuator is 8 mm, the figure (b)
It will be curved to the extent of. This state is illustrated in the perspective view of FIG. 7C, and the view from the direction of arrow F in FIG. If the bending direction as shown in FIG. 7D is indicated by the arrow on the left side of the drawing as the bending direction of the tip with respect to the fixed point, the bending direction of the four suspension wires 8 is shown as (e) to (j) in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7 (e), for example, the two left-hand ends are curved inwardly with respect to each other, and the same is true for the two right-hand ends. The figure (f) shows a combination in the opposite direction, the figures (g) and (h) show a point-symmetrical combination, and the figures (i) and (j) show a laterally opposed combination. The lens holder 2 is fixed to the fixed point by assembling the suspension wires 8 vertically or horizontally or diagonally so as to face each other in the bending direction or to be separated from each other, that is, the bending directions are opposite to each other. Be careful not to bend and fix it to one side or twist the direction of vibration. Although not so preferable, the two right-hand sides may face each other inwardly as opposed to the left-hand side as shown in the brackets in FIG. A great number of combinations can be made by combining such combinations.

Next, when determining the directionality of the suspension wire 8 as shown in FIG. 7, it is practically difficult to assemble it if the wire has a round cross section. Therefore, the hoop material wound around the reel and received as shown in FIG. 7A is rolled from above and below as shown in FIG. 8A to obtain a cross section as shown in FIG. 8B. Alternatively, it is further processed to form a cross section as shown in FIG.
Wind it on the reel like. Then, at first, the material as shown in FIG. 7E becomes as shown in FIG. 7F and the direction of curvature becomes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cross section. For example, as shown in FIGS. When determining, the direction can be determined in the mold, and there are excellent features such as less twisting of the wire than in the round shape. This processing may be done with a press,
Since the processing is intermittent, it is preferable to roll it between two rolls, or it may be processed by drawing through one or more dies.

Next, the pull-out strength when the suspension wire 8 is inserted into the lens holder 2 or the housing 10 will be considered. Since the wire material is usually thinned by drawing or the like, its surface is generally smooth. If it is inserted as it is, the pulling-out strength is weak, and it is considered that the molded product may come off with a slight force due to shrinkage or the like, which causes the posture of the lens holder 2 to change. As a countermeasure, a protrusion is partially provided as shown in FIG. For example, solder or the like is added to this. In the figure (b), a depression is provided by pressing. Alternatively, if a recess is provided, it may bulge in the 90 ° direction. Knurling may be performed on the entire circumference or a specific surface as shown in FIG. The surface may be roughened by sandblasting or etching as shown in FIG. The above processing may be performed only on the portion to be inserted, and may be performed continuously or intermittently over the entire length if positioning is difficult.

Next, another means which does not use the braking material holding frame 7 in FIG. 2 will be described. 10A shows a viscoelastic material 25 formed by secondary molding in contact with a side wall 10a of the housing 10 which serves as a fixing point of the suspension wire 8 instead of providing the braking material holding frame 7 of FIG. 2 for damping the suspension wire 8. Is molded. Figure 10 (b)
Shows the mold structure of the G1-G2 cross section in the same (a).
In this way, the braking material can be formed by secondary molding instead of the process of adding parts, injecting liquid, and solidifying.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The third embodiment relates to improvement of the manufacturing method. Figure 11
In, the suspension wire 8 penetrates the lens holder 2, and further penetrates the side wall 10d that faces the side wall 10a that holds the original fixing point of the suspension wire 8 in the housing 10. If the length of the suspension wire 8 is adjusted to the length of the housing 10 or is made slightly shorter, the suspension wire 8 will not protrude from the housing 10. By molding in this way, the mold 2 of FIG.
Positioning of the suspension wire 8 in the inside of 1 and 22 becomes easy, and the rigidity of the molded parts is high and manufacturing becomes easy. However, since the lens holder 2 cannot be supported in a cantilever manner if the suspension wire in the portion 8e in the drawing remains, it is sufficient to cut off this portion or an unnecessary portion outside by a mold or burn out with a laser beam. This cutting can be done in the state of FIG. 11, but if it is cut and processed in this state, it will be easily deformed in the subsequent assembly work and it will be difficult to assemble, so if possible, after assembling to the state of FIG. If it is cut at the part, deformation during assembly is unlikely to occur and assembly becomes easy.

Although the ones in the state of FIG. 11 may be molded one by one, a continuous molding process as shown in FIG. 12 may be considered in order to further improve the processing efficiency. In FIG. 12, the reel 26 is wound with the suspension wire material 8g processed as shown in FIG. 8, for example, and the warp direction at this time is the same as that described with reference to FIG. Roller 27
The retainer forming press 28 performs retaining treatment as shown in FIG. This is not limited to pressing, and other retaining methods may be used. Next, using the injection molding machine 29, the mold 21,
22 for continuous injection molding. The finished product is wound on the take-up reel 30 and separated in a separate process.

If the material of the reel 26 has already been subjected to the retaining process as shown in FIG. 9, the retaining forming press 28 is unnecessary. If a roll processing machine is provided in front of the retaining molding press 28, the raw material of the reel 26 may be an unprocessed wire. Further, if the suspension wire is cut without being wound on the reel 30, or the electromagnetic coil 6, the braking material holding frame 7 and the like are incorporated, the braking material is injected and solidified, and the suspension wire is cut continuously. Automatic processing can be performed.

The case where the housing 10 and the lens holder 2 are processed and assembled by the molding via the suspension wire 8 has been described above. However, instead of the molding as shown in FIG. 13, for example, the lens holder 2 is explained. Then, the lens holder is attached to the central portion 2b, the upper and lower portions 2c, 2d.
The suspension wire 8 is sandwiched between
Similar products can be obtained by gluing or ultrasonically welding a person. Although the housing 10 and the lens holder 2 are vertically divided in the example, it is needless to say that the housing 10 and the lens holder 2 may be divided into left and right.

As described above, according to the objective lens actuator of the present invention, the main components are a lens holding member for holding the objective lens, a plurality of linear spring members for supporting the lens holding member, and a linear spring. A lens holding member, a linear spring member, and a fixing member are integrally formed by molding, or a holding member that fixes the member, or is divided into a plurality of pieces instead of molding to hold the objective lens. Lens holding member, a plurality of linear spring members that support the lens holding member, and a fixing member that is divided into a plurality of portions to fix the linear spring member, and a plurality of lens holding members and a plurality of fixing members. Thus, the linear spring member is clamped and fixed to be integrally formed.

Further, the linear spring members are arranged on two upper and lower parallel lines facing each other, and the distance between the pair of linear spring members on one parallel line and the pair of linear spring members on the other parallel line is different from each other. Are arranged in such a manner that the spring members facing vertically, horizontally, or diagonally of the linear spring members which are arranged so as to face each other and are spaced apart from each other are arranged so that the bending directions which are unavoidably generated in manufacturing the material are opposite to each other. .

Further, in the method of manufacturing the objective lens actuator of the present invention, each of the plurality of linear spring members is divided into two parts.
A frame-shaped fixing member that is fixed at a point and a lens holding member that does not come into contact with the fixing member are formed in an intermediate portion, and after that, or after the necessary accessory parts are incorporated, a lens holding member of a linear spring member. The lens holding member can be cantilevered by cutting one of the fixing member and the frame-like fixing member which is fixed at two points to a plurality of continuous linear spring members and an intermediate member. A method of continuously forming a lens holding member that does not come into contact with the fixing member on the portion can be adopted, and in this method, the lens holding member and the fixing member can be formed by molding.
