The lower surface of the body of the electromagnet shaft 210 is coupled to the hollow portion 321 formed in the center of the electromagnet 320 is a projection for the electromagnet shaft 310 to be integrated with the electromagnet 320 Formed. The electromagnet 310 has a cylindrical shape and a hollow portion 321 is formed in the center thereof. When electricity flows through the electromagnet rotating conductor 200, an electric field is formed to rotate by electric force.

The plate 400 is in the form of a rectangular flat plate, the filter holder slide guide 410 is formed on the upper portion of the plate 400 for guiding when the filter holder slide 500 is moved left and right. In the center of the plate 400, a hollow part 420 is formed to correspond to the glass filter 510 and the IR cut filter 520 of the filter holder slide 500.

2 is a system diagram of an electromagnet rotating inductor 200 of a filter change assembly for a camera module using an electromagnet rotating device.

A power supply method for the electromagnet rotating conductor 200 will be described with reference to FIG. 2. The microcomputer (ATiny15L: not shown) receives an analog AGC signal necessary to exchange a filter from a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) (not shown). "Driv +" from the micom (not shown) to flow the input analog AGC signal into the electromagnet rotating conductor 200 to drive the electromagnet rotating device 300 by using a comparator in the microcomputer. Produces the output of both terminals. Normally, the output of both terminals should be at GND. When the analog AGC signal input from the DSP becomes 2.5V or more, a constant voltage is applied to the “driving +” terminal of the two terminals from the microcomputer for a short time by applying a constant voltage to the IR removal filter 520 from the left. Moving to the right to replace the glass filter 510.

When the analog AGC signal input from the DSP is 2.5V or less, a reverse voltage is applied to the “driving” terminal of the two terminals from the microcomputer for a short time to turn the glass filter 510 on. Move left to replace the infrared filter 520.

In the power supply, as shown in FIG. 2, when the power of ① is applied, current flows through the PCB 240 so that the left side of the electromagnet 320 has a positive pole and the right side has a negative pole, and the left electromagnet coil 210 has an N pole. Is formed, and the S pole is formed on the right electromagnet coil (210). The magnetic field thus formed acts on the electromagnet 320 in the center to exert the same poles and to attach the other poles to the magnetic force. After the plate 400 is moved in one direction and then the power is cut off, the electromagnet fixing body 220 made of pure iron embedded in the center of the electromagnet coil 210 is attached to the electromagnet 320 of the electromagnet 320. The movement is fixed.

On the contrary, when the power source of ② is inserted, an S pole is formed in the left electromagnet coil 210, and an N pole is formed in the right electromagnet coil 210. The magnetic force acting on the electromagnet 320 by the magnetic field formed as opposed to the previous action is reversed so that the electromagnet 300 in the center rotates in the opposite direction. After moving to another direction after the power is cut off again, the direction of the electromagnet 320 is fixed under the influence of the electromagnet fixing body 220 made of pure iron embedded in the center of the electromagnet coil 210.

3, 4, and 5 show that the filter holder slide 500 is converted to linear motion by the rotation of the electromagnet rotating device 300, and moves from left to right to replace the filter.

As shown in FIG. 3, + and − currents are sent to the cable CABEL to move the + and − currents from the PCB 240 to the left and right electromagnet coils 210, respectively, so that the left electromagnet coil 210 is moved. The S pole is formed on the right side, and the N pole is formed on the right electromagnet coil 210. As a result, the N-pole and the S-pole are divided into the upper and lower portions in the center so that the electromagnet 320 starts to rotate clockwise around the electromagnet axis 310.

Referring to FIG. 4, the electromagnet 320 rotates about the electromagnet axis 310 due to a property in which the same poles are formed in the direction in which the electromagnet coil 210 and the electromagnet 320 face each other and push each other. As a result, the clockwise rotation of the electromagnet shaft 310 is changed into a linear motion by the filter holder slide 500 connected to the electromagnet shaft 310 and inserted into the filter holder slide 500. The glass filter 510 and the infrared ray elimination filter 520 are simultaneously moved from left to right.

Referring to Figure 5, the electromagnet 320 is close to the other poles of the magnet is strong enough to stick to the filter is moved to the rightmost, the continuous movement is stopped on the appropriate position to stop the jaw. Then, when the power supply is stopped, the magnetic force of the electromagnet 320 keeps the stopped direction in response to the electromagnet fixing body 220 formed of pure iron wrapped in the center of the electromagnet coil 210.

6, 7 and 8 illustrate that the filter holder slide 500 is converted into a linear motion by the rotation of the electromagnet rotating device 300 to move from right to left to replace the filter.

Referring to FIG. 6, when moving in the opposite direction to the above direction, the power supply is reversed from the beginning to reverse the electromagnetic force acting on the electromagnet 320 and the electromagnet coil 210. That is,-, + current is sent to the cable (CABEL) to the electromagnet coil 210 of the left and right from the PCB 240,-, + current is moved to the left electromagnet coil 210, the N pole, The S pole is formed on the right electromagnet coil 210. As a result, the N-pole and the S-pole are divided into the upper and lower portions in the center so that the electromagnet 320 starts to rotate counterclockwise about the electromagnet axis 310.

Referring to FIG. 7, the electromagnet 320 rotates about the electromagnet axis 310 due to the property of pushing the same while the same poles are formed in the direction in which the electromagnet coil 210 and the electromagnet 320 face each other. As a result, the counterclockwise rotation of the electromagnet shaft 310 is changed to a linear motion by the filter holder slide 500 connected to the electromagnet shaft 310 to the filter holder slide 500. The inserted glass filter 510 and the infrared ray removing filter 520 simultaneously move from right to left.

Looking at Figure 8, the electromagnet 320 is close to the other poles of the magnet is strong enough to attach the filter is moved to the left most, and the continuous movement is stopped on the appropriate position by stopping the stop. Then, when the power supply is stopped, the magnetic force of the electromagnet 320 keeps the stopped direction in response to the electromagnet fixing body 220 formed of pure iron wrapped in the center of the electromagnet coil 210.
