Abstract
Description
本願は、2008年7月11日に、日本に出願された特願2008-181368号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
例えば、特許文献1の駆動装置では、形状記憶合金ワイヤの両端が地板に形成された柱状部の上部で固定され、この形状記憶合金ワイヤの略中央部で鏡枠の下部に当接するように張架されている。このとき、形状記憶合金ワイヤの両端部は、柱状部の上部に設けられた板部材で挟み込まれて切断されている。
本発明に係る駆動モジュールは、筒状または柱状の被駆動体と、この被駆動体を内側に収容する筒状の支持体と、前記被駆動体を前記支持体に対して一定方向に沿って移動可能に弾性保持する板ばね部材と、前記被駆動体を前記板ばね部材の復元力に抗して一定方向に沿って駆動させる駆動手段と、を有する駆動モジュールであって、前記駆動手段は、前記被駆動体に係合され、通電時の発熱により収縮することで、前記被駆動体を前記板ばね部材の復元力に抗して駆動させる形状記憶合金ワイヤと、この形状記憶合金ワイヤの端部を保持するワイヤ保持部を有する保持端子と、を備え、前記保持端子は、前記支持体と嵌合して位置決めがされる嵌合部と、前記支持体に対して回り止めとなる規制部と、を有し、前記保持端子が前記支持体に支持固定されている。
このように構成することで、嵌合用貫通孔をワイヤ保持部の近くに配置することができる。したがって、支持体と保持端子とを固定する際に形状記憶合金ワイヤが収縮すると、保持端子がピンを中心に回動しようとするが、ピンとワイヤ保持部との距離を短くすることができるため、ワイヤ保持部の移動量が小さくなり、保持端子の位置ずれを抑制することができる。
このように構成することで、予め形状記憶合金ワイヤの長さを管理した状態で両端を保持端子により固定した駆動手段を用いることができる。また、保持端子の嵌合用貫通孔を支持体のピンに嵌合することで保持端子の水平方向および垂直方向の位置ずれを抑制することができる。さらに、支持体の壁部と保持端子の当接部とを当接させた状態で固定することにより、より確実に保持端子の回転方向の位置ずれを抑制することができる。したがって、保持端子を常に所定位置に配置することが可能となる。つまり、取り付け後の形状記憶合金ワイヤの端子間の距離を一定に管理することができ、かつ、保持端子を支持体に対して常に同じ位置で固定することができるため、製品ごとの被駆動体の移動量のばらつきを抑制することができ、歩留まりを向上することができる。
このように構成することで、保持端子を支持体に支持固定する際に、保持端子の嵌合用貫通孔および回り止め用貫通孔を支持体のピンおよび回り止めピンにそれぞれ嵌合して、ピンおよび回り止めピンの頭部を溶着するだけで、保持端子の回転方向の位置ずれを抑制することができる。したがって、保持端子を常に所定位置に配置することが可能となる。つまり、取り付け後の形状記憶合金ワイヤの端子間の距離を一定に管理することができ、かつ、保持端子を支持体に対して同じ位置で固定することができるため、製品ごとの被駆動体の移動量のばらつきを抑制することができ、歩留まりを向上することができる。
このように構成することで、保持端子を支持体に支持固定する際に、保持端子の嵌合用貫通孔および回り止め用貫通孔を支持体のピンおよび回り止めピンにそれぞれ嵌合して、保持端子と支持体とを接着剤により固定するだけで、保持端子の回転方向の位置ずれを抑制することができる。したがって、保持端子を常に所定位置に配置することが可能となる。つまり、取り付け後の形状記憶合金ワイヤの端子間の距離を一定に管理することができ、かつ、保持端子を支持体に対して同じ位置で固定することができるため、製品ごとの被駆動体の移動量のばらつきを抑制することができ、歩留まりを向上することができる。

本発明に係る電子機器においては、形状記憶合金ワイヤの取り付け位置ずれを抑制し、被駆動体の移動量のばらつきを抑制することができる駆動モジュールが用いられている。したがって、高精度な電子機器を提供することができる。
このように構成することで、接着用貫通孔から熱硬化性接着剤を流し込み、支持体と保持端子との間に供給した状態で、接着剤を硬化させるために駆動モジュールを加熱することとなる。つまり、適正な温度で加熱することにより、形状記憶合金ワイヤを収縮させて保持端子の位置を固定することができるとともに、その状態で熱硬化性接着剤を硬化させて支持体と保持端子とを固定することができる。したがって、効率よく駆動モジュールを生産することができる。
このように構成することで、支持体のピンを溶着させる際の熱により形状記憶合金ワイヤが加熱されることとなる。つまり、形状記憶合金ワイヤを収縮させて保持端子の位置を固定することができるとともに、その状態で支持体のピンを溶着させて支持体と保持端子とを固定することができる。したがって、効率よく駆動モジュールを生産することができる。
このように構成することで、保持端子の嵌合用貫通孔を支持体のピンに嵌合することで保持端子の位置ずれを抑制することができる。また、駆動モジュールを加熱すると形状記憶合金ワイヤが収縮し、その際に保持端子がピンを中心に回動しようとするが、支持体の回り止めピンと保持端子の回り止め用貫通孔とを当接させて回動を抑止して保持端子の位置を保持することができる。したがって、保持端子の位置が保持された状態で、支持体と保持端子とを固定することにより形状記憶合金ワイヤの取り付け位置ずれを抑制し、製品ごとの被駆動体の移動量のばらつきを抑制することができる。結果として、歩留まりを向上することができる。
このように構成することで、支持体と保持端子との間に熱硬化性接着剤を流し込み、供給した状態で、接着剤を硬化させるために駆動モジュールを加熱することとなる。つまり、適正な温度で加熱することにより、形状記憶合金ワイヤを収縮させて保持端子の位置を固定することができるとともに、その状態で熱硬化性接着剤を硬化させて支持体と保持端子とを固定することができる。したがって、効率よく駆動モジュールを生産することができる。

次に、本発明に係る駆動モジュールの第一実施形態を図1~図7に基づいて説明する。
図1は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る駆動モジュールの斜視図である。図2は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る駆動モジュールの概略構成を示す分解斜視図である。図3は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る駆動ユニットの概略構成を示す分解斜視図である。図4は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る駆動ユニットの斜視図である。図5は、図4におけるA-A線に沿う断面図である。図6は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る駆動モジュールの側面図である。図7は、本発明の第一実施形態に係る駆動モジュールの変形例を示す側面図である。なお、一部の図面では見易さのため、例えば、レンズユニット12などの構成部材を適宜省略して図示している。
モジュール枠5の上部及び下部の四隅には、軸線Mに直交する平面からなる端面5a、5bが形成され、端面5aから上方に向けて上側固定ピン14Aが、また端面5bから下方に向けて下側固定ピン14Bが、それぞれ4本ずつ設けられている。
上板ばね6及び下板ばね7は、略同一形状に打ち抜かれた平板状の板ばね部材であり、例えば、ステンレス(SUS)鋼板などの金属板からなる。
第1工程では、まず、モジュール枠5の収容部5A内に下方からレンズ枠4を挿入し、モジュール枠5の各端面5aと、レンズ枠4の端面4aとを同一高さに揃える。そして、モジュール枠5の各上側固定ピン14Aとレンズ枠4の各上側固定ピン13Aとに、上板ばね6の各貫通孔6B、6Aをそれぞれ挿通する。
また、各ヒータチップの高さを共通とすることができるので、かしめ部16、17を同時に形成しても、かしめ精度のバラツキを低減することができる。
また、各ヒータチップの高さを共通とすることができるので、かしめ部18を同時に形成しても、かしめ精度のバラツキを低減することができる。
また、モジュール下板8に凹部8Bが形成されているため、第2工程で形成されたかしめ部18は、モジュール下板8とは接触しない。
以上で、駆動モジュール1本体の組み立てが完了する。
駆動モジュール1は、端子部9Cに電力が供給されない状態では、SMAワイヤ10からの張力およびコイルスプリング34の付勢力、かしめ部16、18で上板ばね6及び下板ばね7からの復元力等のレンズ枠4に作用する力がつり合い、レンズユニット12が取り付けられたレンズ枠4が、軸方向の一定位置に保持される。
このようにして、電力供給量を制御することで、レンズ枠4を軸線M方向に駆動することができる。
図7は、第一実施形態の変形例に係る駆動モジュールの構成を示す側面図である。なお、図7ではカバーの図示を省略している。図7に示すように、本変形例の駆動モジュール1Aは、上記第一実施形態のワイヤ保持部材15A,15Bに貫通孔37A,37Bが形成されていないものに置き換えられており、モジュール枠5とワイヤ保持部材115A,115Bとがピン35A,35Bの頭部39を溶着することにより固定されている。ピン35A,35Bの頭部39を溶着する方法としては、熱溶着が採用される。
次に、本発明の第二実施形態について図8を用いて説明する。なお、本実施形態は、第一実施形態とワイヤ保持部材およびモジュール枠の構成が一部異なるのみであり、他の構成については略同一であるため、同一箇所には同一符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
図8は、本実施形態におけるモジュール枠とワイヤ保持部材との固定状態を示す側面図である。なお、本実施形態では一方のワイヤ保持部材についてのみ説明する(他方のワイヤ保持部材も略同一の構成である)。
次に、本発明の第三実施形態について図9、図10を用いて説明する。なお、本実施形態は、第一実施形態とワイヤ保持部材およびモジュール枠の構成が一部異なるのみであり、他の構成については略同一であるため、同一箇所には同一符号を付して詳細な説明は省略する。
図11A及び図11Bは、それぞれ、本発明の実施形態に係る電子機器の表面と、裏面の斜視外観図である。図11Cは、図11BにおけるF-F線に沿った部分断面図である。
カメラ付き携帯電話20は、受話部22a、送話部22b、操作部22c、液晶表示部22d、アンテナ部22e、不図示の制御回路部などの周知の携帯電話の装置構成をカバー22内外に備えている。
このようなカメラ付き携帯電話20によれば、上記実施形態の駆動モジュール1を備えるため、SMAワイヤ10の取り付け位置ずれが抑制され、レンズ枠4の移動量のばらつきが抑制され、高精度・高信頼性を確保することができる。
