Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deviation from a prescribed position due to the dead load of an objective lens when an actuator is arranged in a lateral direction by making a side fixed to the objective lens shorter than the side fixed to an actuator main body for the horizontal distance of right and left suspension springs. CONSTITUTION:For right and left suspension springs 2, a tip side is a little (about 20-40%) shorter than a base edge side in the horizontal distance. When an objective lens 3 is deviated in a tracking direction (right and left directions in the figure), the suspension springs 2 (compared with the case when right and left are arranged in parallel) are forcibly deformed, and therefore, the resistance force comes to be larger. Namely, the stiffness in the tracking direc tion of an objective lens supporting member composed of four suspension springs 2 comes to be larger, and for such a reason, even when the actuator is arranged not in the horizontal direction but in the lateral direction, the deviation from the prescribed position due to the dead load of the objective lens 3 is far little.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a support member that swingably supports an objective lens in an actuator of an optical pickup device used in a video disc player, a compact disc player, and the like. Summary of the Invention: In an actuator of an optical pickup device, a supporting member is configured to swingably support the objective lens with respect to the actuator body by means of a plurality of suspension springs arranged on both the left and right sides of the objective lens. The horizontal distance between the left and right eggplant suspension springs is made shorter on the side fixed to the objective lens than on the side fixed to the actuator body, so that when the actuator is placed horizontally, the specified distance due to the weight of the objective lens This prevents it from moving out of position.

[Prior art] Conventionally, in an actuator for an optical pickup device, an objective lens is swingably supported relative to the actuator body by two sets of suspension springs provided on each side of the objective lens, and a focus is fixed to the objective lens. There is a known I-type optical system that performs focus control and tracking ft1l+ control by driving a coil and an l-racking coil to move an objective lens parallel to the optical axis. Each suspension spring is made by etching the upper and lower parts of one side from a single plate-shaped spring member, but in the case of etching, the ratio of the thickness of the spring part to the width of the spring part is set to 1/1. As a result, the cutoff frequency in the tracking direction becomes too low compared to the cutoff frequency in the focus direction, which has the disadvantage that the objective lens with the actuator placed sideways will sag under its own weight and shift from the predetermined position. Ta. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional device, and to provide an objective lens support member in which the actuator is arranged laterally and the objective lens is less likely to shift from a predetermined position. It is to provide. Means for Solving Problem K] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention supports the objective lens so as to be swingable relative to the actuator body by a plurality of suspension springs arranged on both the left and right sides of the objective lens. In the actuator of the optical pickup device, the horizontal distance between the left and right suspension springs is made shorter on the side fixed to the objective lens than on the side fixed to the actuator body. By doing this, when the pair of lenses is displaced in the tracking direction, the suspension springs are forcibly deformed (compared to the case where the left and right suspension springs are arranged in parallel), so the resistance force is large. As a result, the cutoff frequency in the tracking direction increases, and the deviation of the objective lens from the predetermined position decreases when the actuator is disposed laterally. K Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view thereof, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the state when the objective lens is displaced in the tracking direction. The base end of a suspension spring 2 is fixed to each of the left and right sides of a pole 1 projecting from the actuator body, and an objective lens 3 is fixed to the tip of the suspension spring 2. The left and right suspension springs 2 have similar horizontal distances (about 20 to 40%) on the distal end side than on the proximal end side. The left and right suspension springs 2 are each composed of two upper and lower suspension springs arranged in parallel, and support the objective lens 3 so as to move parallel to the optical axis by a total of four left and right suspension springs. . A drive coil 4 consisting of a focus coil and a tracking coil is fixed to the objective lens 3. This drive coil 4 is arranged in a magnetic gap formed by a magnet 5 and a ball yoke 6 arranged inside the drive coil 4, and is driven by a drive signal to perform focus control and tracking control of the objective lens. It has become. The four-wood suspension spring 2 also serves as a lead wire that supplies drive signals to the focus coil and tracking coil of the drive coil 4, respectively. Next, its effect will be explained. When the objective lens 3 is displaced in the tracking direction (left-right direction in the figure), the suspension spring 2 is forcibly deformed (compared to the case where the left and right sides are arranged parallel), as shown in FIG. Because you are forced to do so, your resistance increases. However, the stiffness in the tracking direction of the objective lens support member constituted by the four suspension springs 2 becomes noticeable. There is much less deviation from the predetermined position jd. [Effects of the Invention] As explained above and described above, the present invention provides an optical pickup device in which an objective lens is swingably supported with respect to an actuator body by suspension springs disposed on both sides of the objective lens. In this actuator, by making the horizontal distance between the left and right suspension springs shorter on the side fixed to the pair of lenses than on the side fixed to the actuator body, the objective lens can be easily adjusted when the actuator is placed sideways. This can prevent displacement from a predetermined position due to its own weight.
