Additionally, the upper surface of the housing 140 may be provided with an upper frame support protrusion 144 to which the outer frame 152 of the upper elastic member 150 is coupled. The lower surface of the housing 140 may be provided with a lower frame support protrusion (not shown) to which the outer frame 162 of the lower elastic member 160 is coupled.

Additionally, a lower guide groove 148 into which the guide member 216 of the base 210 is inserted, fastened, or coupled may be provided at the lower portion of the second sides 141 and 142 of the housing 140. The lower guide groove 148 of the housing 140 and the guide member 216 of the base 210 may be coupled by the adhesive member 12 (see FIG. 11), and the housing 140 may be coupled to the base 210. It can be.

The housing 140 may be provided with an outer protrusion 40 on the outer surface 35 of each of the first side portions 141. The outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may extend from the bottom of the first sides 141 of the housing 140 toward the bottom of the base 210.

The outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may be arranged to correspond to the straight portion 170a (see FIG. 12) of the second coil 170 disposed on the base 210.

The outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may overlap the straight portion 170a of the coil 170 in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis OA.

For example, the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may face the straight portion 170a of the second coil 170 disposed on the base 210 in the first horizontal direction 15a (see FIG. 12). .

The entire area of the straight portion 170a of the second coil 170 disposed on the base 210 may overlap the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 in the first horizontal direction 15a (see FIG. 12). .

For example, the length L1 of the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 in the second horizontal direction is longer than the straight portion 170a of the second coil 170 in the second horizontal direction 15b (see FIG. 12). It may be longer than or equal to the length.

The outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may be located outside the straight portion 170a of the second coil 170.

Additionally, the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may overlap the side plates 302a to 302d of the cover member 300 in the optical axis direction.

Additionally, the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 in the optical axis direction may not overlap the magnet 130, but is not limited thereto. For example, the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 in the optical axis direction may at least partially overlap the magnet 130.

The lower end 25 of the first sides 141 of the housing 140 overlaps the second coil 170 disposed on the base 210 in the optical axis direction, but the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 is adjacent to the base 210. It does not overlap the straight portion 170a of the second coil 170 disposed at 210 in the optical axis direction.

The housing 140 and the cover member 300 are coupled between the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 and the side plates 302a to 302d of the cover member 300, and a gap is formed to prevent external foreign substances from entering.

Since there is a step between the inner surface of the first side 141, space for arranging the second coil 170 can be secured, and spatial interference between the cover member 300 and the second coil 170 can be prevented. This can be prevented, and the second coil 170 can be protected.

In the process of winding the second coil 170 to the base 210, a part of the second coil 170 may protrude out of the groove 201 of the base 210, and the outer protrusion ( If 40) is not provided, the portion of the second coil 170 protruding out of the groove 201 by the lower ends of the side plates 302a to 302d of the cover member 300 may be damaged, and the second coil 170 may be damaged. Electrical disconnection may occur at (170).

Additionally, if the housing 140 is not provided with the outer protrusion 40 and the lower end of the cover member extends to the lower part of the base 210, the gap between the cover member 300 and the housing 140 is large. As a result, the sealing member does not spread widely in the space between the cover member 300 and the housing 140, so a solid sealing effect cannot be obtained, and foreign substances may flow into the cover member from the outside.

The embodiment can prevent the second coil 170 from being damaged by the cover member 300 by providing an outer protrusion 40 provided on the outer surface of the side portions of the housing 140, and the second coil ( Electrical short circuit between 170) and the cover member 300 can be prevented.

In addition, in the embodiment, since the space between the outer protrusion 40 and the cover member 300 is filled by the adhesive member or sealing member (18a, 18b, see FIGS. 16a and 16b), the housing 140 and the cover member ( 300) The fixing force between the teeth can be strengthened and foreign substances can be prevented from flowing into the inside of the cover member.

It may include a region 211 protruding from the inner side of the base 210 toward the outer side. And the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140 may overlap the protruding area 211 of the lower part 210a of the base 210 in the optical axis direction, and the lower end of the outer protrusion 40 is the base 210. It may be placed adjacent to the protruding area 211 of the lower part 210a.

The housing 140 and the cover member 300 are attached to the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140, and an adhesive or sealing member is provided to prevent foreign substances from entering the cover member 300 from the outside. A depression 41 for injecting (see 18a, 18b, FIGS. 16a and 16b) may be provided.

The depression 41 may be positioned to contact the boundary surface where the outer protrusion 40 and the outer surface of the first side of the housing 140 meet. For example, the depression 41 may be disposed at the top or upper center of the outer protrusion 40 and may have an opening 40a that opens to the upper surface of the outer protrusion 40.

Additionally, an inner protrusion 42 may be provided on the inner surface of the outer protrusion 40 of the housing 140, corresponding to the depression 41, and protruding from the outer surface of the outer protrusion 40 toward the inner surface.

For example, the inner protrusion 42 may be formed in the same size or shape as the depression 41, and the height at which the inner protrusion 42 protrudes from the inner surface of the outer protrusion 40 is equal to the depression of the depression 41. It may be the same as the depth, but is not limited thereto.

When the depression 41 is provided in the outer protrusion 40 having a certain thickness, the thickness of the portion of the outer protrusion 40 where the depression 41 is provided is reduced, so the durability of the outer protrusion 40 may be reduced. . Accordingly, the embodiment can prevent the durability of the outer protrusion 40 from being reduced by providing the inner protrusion 42 at a position on the inner surface of the outer protrusion 40 corresponding to the depression 41.

For example, a groove 201 may be provided on the outer surface of the base 210.

For example, the groove 201 of the base 210 may have a structure recessed from the outer surface of the base 210. The groove 201 may be spaced apart from each of the upper and lower surfaces of the base 210. This can prevent the second coil 170 disposed or wound within the groove 201 of the base 201 from being separated from the base 210.

The length of the second coil 170 wound in the groove 201 of the base 210 in the direction of the optical axis may be smaller than the length in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis from the inner peripheral surface of the base 210 to the outer peripheral surface.

If they are arranged to overlap, spatial interference may occur between the two.

In this case, by increasing the depth of the groove 201 in which the second coil 170 is disposed, spatial interference between the second coil 170 and the connection electrodes 164-1 to 164-4 can be avoided or avoided. However, the injection process of the base 210 to deepen the groove 201 is not easy, and when forming the groove 201 deep, the second coil 170 wound on the groove 201 is not easy. As the length is reduced, the preset resistance value of the second coil 170 cannot be secured.

The induced voltage of the second coil 170 changes due to changes in ambient temperature, and this change in induced voltage may cause malfunction of AF driving. Temperature compensation is required for accurate AF operation. To facilitate temperature compensation, the resistance of the second coil 170 is required to be greater than or equal to a preset resistance value (eg, 30Ω).

Since it is arranged to overlap the second part 170b of the coil 170, the connection terminals 164-1 and 164-2 are arranged on the outer surface of any first side 218a of the base 210, Even though 164-3 and 164-4) and the first portion 170a of the second coil 170 overlap in the second horizontal direction 15b, the connection terminals 164-1, 164-2, and 164-3 164-4) and the second coil 170 can be arranged without spatially interfering with each other.

Therefore, in the embodiment, the depth of the groove 201 provided on the outer surface of the base 210 can be reduced to avoid space between the connection terminals and the second coil, and the second coil 170 disposed in the groove 210 ) can increase the resistance value, and mold manufacturing and injection performance for forming the base 210 can be easily secured.

In addition, the second bonding portions 16a and 16b of the third and fourth elastic members 160-3 and 160-4 are connected to the second portion 170b of the second coil 170 in the first horizontal direction 15a. may overlap, and may overlap with the first portion 170a of the second coil 160 in the second horizontal direction, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIGS. 9 and 12 , the first separation distance D1 may be smaller than the second separation distance D2 (D1<D2).

The first separation distance D1 is between the reference line 501 that passes through the center 401 of the base 210 and is parallel to the optical axis OA and the second coil 170 disposed in the groove 201 of the base 210. It could be the distance. For example, the first separation distance D1 may be the distance between the center 401 of the base 210 and the second portion 170b of the second coil 170.

The second separation distance D2 may be the distance between the reference line 501 and the connection terminals 164-1 to 164-4 disposed in the first depressions 205a to 205d.

In order to prevent electrical contact, the connection terminals 164-1 to 164-4 of the lower elastic member 160 disposed in the first depressions 205a to 205d and the second coil disposed in the groove 201 ( 170) can be spaced apart from each other.

A portion of the lower end of the side plate of the cover member 300 and the protruding area 211 of the lower portion 210a of the base 210 may face each other in the optical axis direction. For example, a portion of the lower end of the side plate of the cover member 300 in the direction of the optical axis OA may overlap the protruding area 211 of the lower portion 210a of the base 210. At this time, the protruding area 211 of the lower part 210a of the base 210 and the lower end of the side plate of the cover member 300 may be spaced apart from each other, but the present invention is not limited to this.

8 and 10, the third and fourth elastic members 160-3 and 160-4 each have one second bonding portion 16a and 16b and one connection terminal 164-3 and 164. -4) may be included.

The second bonding portions 16a and 16b of the third and fourth elastic members 160-3 and 160-4 and the connection terminals 164-3 and 164-4 are located on different outer surfaces of the base 210. can be placed in

For example, the second bonding portion 16a of the third elastic member 160-3 and the connection terminal 164-3 each have two adjacent second sides (or corner portions) of the base 210. It may be disposed on a corresponding one of the outer surfaces of the first sides.

Also, for example, the second bonding portion 16a of the fourth elastic member 160-4 and the connection terminal 164-3 each have two first sides adjacent to any other second side of the base 210. It may be placed on any one of the corresponding outer surfaces.

The reason for arranging the second bonding portions 16a and 16b and the connection terminals 164-3 and 164-4 on the outer surfaces of different first sides of the base 210 is because the connection terminals 164-3 and 164- 4), the heat generated during the soldering process for electrical connection is suppressed from being transferred to the solder bonded to the second bonding portions 16a and 16b, thereby forming the second bonding portions 16a and 16b and the second coil ( 170) This is to prevent the electrical connection from being broken.

For electrical connection to the outside, the connection terminals 164-1 to 164-4 are connected to the second coil 170 or the base 210 from the second outer frame 162 of the elastic members 160-1 to 160-4. ) may extend below the groove 201.

On the other hand, in order to facilitate the electrical connection of the second coil 170, the second bonding parts 16a and 16b are located in an area of the outer portion of the base 210 located above the groove 201 of the base 210. can be placed.

Referring to FIG. 11, the first width W1 of the first region 162-1 of the second outer frame 162 of each of the third and fourth elastic members 160-3 and 160-4 is 2 It may be larger than the second width W2 of the second area 162-2 of the outer frame 162 and the third width W3 of the third area 162-3 (W1>W2, W1> W3).

The second area 162-2 is an area to which the connection terminal 162-2 is connected, the third area 162-3 is an area to which the second bonding portion 16b is connected, and the first area 162- 1) may be an area connecting the second area 162-2 and the third area 162-3.

By increasing the area of the first area 162-1, the area for dissipating heat generated during soldering to the connection terminal 164-4 can be expanded, and as a result, when soldering to the connection terminal 164-4 By suppressing the transfer of heat generated to the second bonding part 16b, the electrical connection between the second bonding part 16b and the second coil 170 can be prevented from being broken.

In addition, in order to support the housing 140 and the bobbin 110 in a balanced manner, the inner frame, outer frame, and connection portion of the first to fourth elastic members 160-1 to 160-4 have the same shape or , it can have a shape that is symmetrical to the origin with the optical axis as the origin.

For balanced support, for example, the fourth width of the fourth region of the second outer frame 162 of each of the first and second elastic members 160-1 and 160-2 is the second outer frame 162. may be larger than the fifth width of the fifth area and the sixth width of the sixth area (W1>W2, W1>W3).

The fourth area of each of the first and second elastic members 160-1 and 160-2 may be an area corresponding to the first area 162-1 of the third and fourth elastic members, and the fifth area may be an area corresponding to the second area 162-2, and the sixth area may be an area corresponding to the third area 162-3.

Referring to FIG. 8 , the outer surface of each of the first sides 218a of the base 210 may include a third recessed portion 17a corresponding to the inner protrusion 42 of the housing 140.

For example, on each of the outer surfaces of the first sides 218a of the base 210, there are two first depressions 205a and 205b spaced apart from each other, and a first depression located between the first depressions 205a and 205b. 3 A depression 17a may be provided.

Each of the third depressions 17a may be located between two first depressions provided on a corresponding one of the outer surfaces of the base 210.

For example, in order to easily place or seat the inner protrusion 42 of the housing 140, each of the third depressions 17a has an upper opening open to the upper surface of the base 210 and an opening to the groove 201. It may include a lower opening.

Figure 17 shows mutual inductance according to the separation distance between the first coil and the second coil.

In Figure 17, in a structure in which the first coil, which is the AF driving coil, is disposed above the second coil, which is the sensing coil, the mutual inductance between the first coil and the second coil as the first coil mounted on the bobbin moves in the upward direction is shown. represents change.

Referring to FIG. 17, when the separation distance between the first coil and the second coil is less than 100㎛, the linearity of the change in mutual inductance between the first coil and the second coil according to the displacement of the bobbin rapidly deteriorates. The induced voltage generated in the second coil is proportional to the mutual inductance between the first coil and the second coil, so when the separation distance between the first coil and the second coil is less than 100㎛, the induction of the second coil according to the displacement of the bobbin The linearity of voltage changes rapidly deteriorates.

Therefore, in a structure in which the first coil, which is the AF driving coil, is disposed above the second coil, which is the sensing coil, in order to ensure the linearity of the induced voltage of the second coil, the separation distance between the first coil and the second coil at the highest point of the bobbin is Since it must be designed to be at least 100㎛, there are restrictions on the design of the first coil and second coil arrangement, and the overall thickness of the lens driving device may increase.

On the other hand, in the embodiment, since the second coil 170 is disposed on the base 210 located below the first coil 120, when the bobbin 110 moves from the upper side, the first coil 120 and the first coil 120 The two coils 170 move away from each other. Therefore, the separation distance between the first coil 120 and the second coil 170 at the initial position of the bobbin 110 in the case of unidirectional drive, or the lowest point of the bobbin 110 in the case of bidirectional drive, is set to only about 100㎛. Then, even if the bobbin 110 moves upward, the linearity of the induced voltage of the second coil is automatically maintained, so restrictions on the arrangement design of the driving coil and sensing coil 170 can be relaxed, and the thickness of the lens driving device can be reduced. It can be reduced.

In addition, when placing the second coil 170 on the upper surface of the base 210, the thickness of the base 210 must be sufficiently considered to prevent interference with the lower elastic member, but in the embodiment, the second coil 170 Since it is placed on the side of the base 210, the thickness of the base 210 can be reduced.

Additionally, because the second coil 170 is arranged to be wound around the side of the base 210, the length of one rotation of the second coil can be increased. Therefore, compared to the case of the second coil disposed on the upper surface of the base 210, the magnitude of the induced voltage of the second coil 170 can be increased when the number of rotations is the same.

In addition, the rotation speed of the second coil 170 wound around the base 210 may be greater than the rotation speed of the first coil 120 wound around the bobbin 110, but is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the base 210 ) may be less than or equal to the number of rotations of the second coil 170 wound around the bobbin 110.

In general, AF (Auto Focus) feedback control requires a position sensor that can detect the displacement of the AF moving part, and a separate power connection structure to drive the position sensor, which increases the price of the lens drive device and makes manufacturing difficult. This can happen.

Additionally, the linear section (hereinafter referred to as “first linear section”) of the graph between the moving distance of the bobbin and the magnetic flux of the magnet detected by the position sensor may be restricted by the positional relationship between the magnet and the position sensor.

Since the embodiment does not require a separate position sensor to detect the displacement of the bobbin 110, the cost of the lens driving device can be reduced and the ease of manufacturing work can be improved.

In addition, since mutual induction between the first coil 120 and the second coil 170 is used, the linear section of the graph between the moving distance of the bobbin 110 and the induced voltage due to mutual induction is compared to the above-described first linear section. can be increased. As a result, the embodiment can secure linearity in a wide range, improve the process defect rate, and perform more accurate AF feedback control.
