As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the reflective photoreflector 24 faces the AF movable portion 11 side through the notch 213 of the base member 21, and reflects the reflection plate (here, the lower leaf spring 14 of the lower leaf spring 14). Infrared rays are emitted toward the lens holder fixing portion 141a). Then, the position of the AF movable unit 11 is detected from the intensity of the reflected light that is reflected by the reflecting plate and enters the light receiving unit.
- the reflective photoreflector is mounted apart from the AF movable portion 11 in the optical axis direction, and the AF movable portion is moved. It is necessary to arrange a reflector (for example, an aluminum mirror) in the portion 11.
- a reflector for example, an aluminum mirror
- a part of the member that is displaced together with the AF movable portion 11, here, the lens holder fixing portion 141 a of the lower leaf spring 14 is used as a reflection plate for the reflection type photoreflector, so that new parts are arranged. There is no need.
- one end of the suspension wire 30 is inserted into the wire connecting portion 131i of the upper leaf spring 131 of the AF driving portion 10 and fixed by soldering.
- the other end (lower end) of the suspension wire 30 is inserted into the terminal fitting 211 of the base member 21 and fixed by soldering. Power is supplied to the AF coil portion 112 via the suspension wire 30 and the upper elastic support portion 13.
- a damper material is disposed so as to surround the suspension wire 30.
- the damper material is interposed between the upper elastic support portion 13 and the magnet holder 121. Since a damper material (not shown) is interposed between the upper elastic support portion 13 and the magnet holder 121, the occurrence of unnecessary resonance (higher-order resonance mode) is suppressed, so that operational stability is ensured. Can do.
- the damper material can be easily applied using a dispenser. As the damper material, for example, an ultraviolet curable silicone gel can be applied.
- the AF coil unit 112 When automatic focusing is performed in the lens driving device 1, the AF coil unit 112 is energized.
- Lorentz force is generated in the AF coil unit 112 due to the interaction between the magnetic field of the magnet unit 122 and the current flowing through the AF coil unit 112.
- the direction of the Lorentz force is a direction (Z direction) orthogonal to the direction of the magnetic field (X direction or Y direction) and the direction of the current flowing in the AF coil section 112 (Y direction or X direction). Since the magnet portion 122 is fixed, a reaction force acts on the AF coil portion 112. This reaction force becomes the driving force of the voice coil motor for AF, and the AF movable portion 11 having the AF coil portion 112 moves in the optical axis direction, and focusing is performed.
- closed loop control is performed based on the detection signal of the reflective photoreflector 24 (position detection unit). According to the closed loop control method, it is not necessary to consider the hysteresis characteristics of the voice coil motor, and it is possible to directly detect that the position of the AF movable portion 11 is stable. Furthermore, automatic focusing of the image plane detection method can also be supported. Therefore, the response performance is high, and the speed of the automatic focusing operation can be increased.
- the lens driving device 1 includes the AF coil unit 112 disposed around the lens unit (not shown), and the magnet unit 122 (disposed in the radial direction with respect to the AF coil unit 112).
- the AF fixing portion 12 including the magnet portion 122 is used for AF by using the driving force of a voice coil motor including the AF coil portion 112 and the magnet portion 122. Focusing is automatically performed by moving the AF movable part 11 including the coil part 112 in the optical axis direction.
- the lens driving device 1 is disposed away from the AF movable portion 11 on the image forming side in the optical axis direction, emits light toward the AF movable portion 11, and is reflected by the AF movable portion 11.
- a reflective photoreflector 24 position detection unit that detects the position of the AF movable unit 11 in the optical axis direction based on the received light intensity.
- the lens holder fixing portion 141a (a part of the member displaced together with the AF movable portion 11) of the lower leaf spring 14 functions as a reflecting plate that reflects the light emitted from the reflective photoreflector 24.
- a part of the lower leaf spring 14 that is displaced together with the AF movable portion 11 is used as a reflecting plate. 24 can be implemented. Therefore, it is extremely useful when automatic focusing is performed by the closed loop control method using the reflective photoreflector 24.
- a specific portion of the lens holder 111 may function as a reflector.
- at least a specific portion of the lens holder 111 is preferably made of a white (natural color) resin material.
- the lens holder 111 is made of a black resin material, but only a specific portion can be made of a white resin material by two-color molding (double molding).
- the AF driving unit 10 of the lens driving device 1 may adopt a moving magnet system in which an AF magnet unit is arranged in the AF movable unit 11 and an AF coil unit is arranged in the AF fixing unit 12. Good.
