レンズ駆動装置Lens drive device
 本発明は、例えばカメラ付き携帯機器に搭載されるレンズ駆動装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a lens driving device mounted on a mobile device with a camera, for example.
 近年、携帯電話に代表される携帯機器にカメラ機構が搭載されているのは一般的となってきた。そして、この小型の携帯機器に搭載されるカメラ機構の主要部品であるレンズ駆動装置には、小型化の要求に加え、精度良くレンズ体(鏡筒)を駆動させるという要求が高まってきた。この2つの要求を満たすべきレンズ駆動装置として、レンズ体を保持するレンズホルダ(レンズ保持部材)を駆動するための磁気回路をレンズホルダの四方に設けたものが良く知られている。 In recent years, it has become common for camera devices to be installed in portable devices typified by cellular phones. In addition to the demand for downsizing, the lens driving device, which is a main part of the camera mechanism mounted on the small portable device, has been increasingly demanded to drive the lens body (lens barrel) with high accuracy. As a lens driving device that should satisfy these two requirements, a device in which a magnetic circuit for driving a lens holder (lens holding member) for holding a lens body is provided on four sides of the lens holder is well known.
 このようなレンズ駆動装置として、特許文献1(従来例)では、図16に示すようなレンズ駆動装置901が提案されている。図16は、従来例のレンズ駆動装置901を説明する図であって、図16(a)は、レンズ駆動装置901を下方側から見た分解斜視図であり、図16(b)は、コイルの端部(第1コイル931のコイル端部934)と板ばね(像側バネ部材914x)との電気的な接続方法を説明する工程図である。 As such a lens driving device, Patent Document 1 (conventional example) proposes a lens driving device 901 as shown in FIG. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining a conventional lens driving device 901. FIG. 16 (a) is an exploded perspective view of the lens driving device 901 viewed from below, and FIG. 16 (b) is a coil. It is process drawing explaining the electrical connection method of the edge part (coil edge part 934 of the 1st coil 931) and a leaf | plate spring (image side spring member 914x).
 図16(a)に示すレンズ駆動装置901は、レンズを保持し光軸方向へ移動可能な移動体903(レンズホルダ937及びスリーブ913)と、移動体903を光軸方向へ駆動させる磁気駆動機構905(第1コイル931、第2コイル932、4つのマグネット917及びヨーク918)と、磁気駆動機構905及び移動体903などが搭載された支持体902(バネ支持部材911、ヨーク918及びホルダ919)と、支持体902と移動体903とを接続する像側バネ部材914x及び被写体側バネ部材914yと、を備えて構成される。そして、レンズ駆動装置901は、像側バネ部材914xを介してコイル(第1コイル931及び第2コイル932)に所定の電流を流し、磁気駆動機構905で生じる電磁力により、光軸方向に沿って移動体903を移動させるものである。 A lens driving device 901 shown in FIG. 16A includes a moving body 903 (lens holder 937 and sleeve 913) that holds a lens and can move in the optical axis direction, and a magnetic driving mechanism that drives the moving body 903 in the optical axis direction. 905 (first coil 931, second coil 932, four magnets 917 and yoke 918), and a support 902 (spring support member 911, yoke 918 and holder 919) on which a magnetic drive mechanism 905 and a moving body 903 are mounted. And an image-side spring member 914x and a subject-side spring member 914y that connect the support body 902 and the moving body 903. Then, the lens driving device 901 causes a predetermined current to flow through the coil (first coil 931 and second coil 932) via the image-side spring member 914x, and along the optical axis direction by electromagnetic force generated by the magnetic driving mechanism 905. The moving body 903 is moved.
 また、従来例のレンズ駆動装置901では、図16(b)に示すような接続方法で、コイルの端部(図16(b)では第1コイル931のコイル端部934)と板ばね(像側バネ部材914x)とを電気的に接続している。具体的には、先ず、最初の工程B1では、スリーブ913に絡げピン915を圧入などの方向で保持された状態としておく。次に、次の工程B2では、第1コイル931の巻き始めのコイル端部934を絡げピン915の周りに例えば7ターンから9ターン程度巻き付ける(図16(b)では9ターン)。次に、次の工程B3では、絡げピン915の先端にレーザを照射して、コイル端部934の表面から絶縁被覆層を除去するとともに、絡げピン915の先端を溶融変形させる。その結果、絡げピン915の先端には導電性の膨らみ部分951が形成される。次に、スリーブ913の端部に像側バネ部材914xを装着する。そして、最後に、最後の工程B4では、第1コイル931のコイル端部934(膨らみ部分951)と像側バネ部材914xとを導電性接着剤955等で接続する。このようにして、コイルの端部と板ばねとを電気的に接続している。 Further, in the lens driving device 901 of the conventional example, a coil end (coil end 934 of the first coil 931 in FIG. 16B) and a leaf spring (image) are connected by a connection method as shown in FIG. The side spring member 914x) is electrically connected. Specifically, first, in the first step B1, the pin 915 is held in a direction such as press-fitting by tying the sleeve 913. Next, in the next step B2, the coil end 934 at the start of winding of the first coil 931 is wound around the pin 915 and wound, for example, about 7 to 9 turns (9 turns in FIG. 16B). Next, in the next step B3, the tip of the binding pin 915 is irradiated with a laser to remove the insulating coating layer from the surface of the coil end 934, and the tip of the binding pin 915 is melted and deformed. As a result, a conductive bulge portion 951 is formed at the tip of the binding pin 915. Next, the image-side spring member 914x is attached to the end of the sleeve 913. Finally, in the last step B4, the coil end portion 934 (bulging portion 951) of the first coil 931 and the image side spring member 914x are connected by the conductive adhesive 955 or the like. In this way, the end of the coil and the leaf spring are electrically connected.

 しかしながら、従来例の構成では、導電性接着剤955等は、コイル端部934(コイルの端部)が巻かれた絡げピン915の側面側と像側バネ部材914x(板ばね)の面との間、すなわちL字状に配置された部材の間を繋げるように設けられている。そして、コイルの端部と板ばねとの電気的な接続を確実にするため、絡げピン915の高さを高くして、コイル端部934をより長く巻き付けるようにしている(7ターンから9ターン程度)。このため、レンズ保持部材(レンズホルダ937)の光軸方向における高さ寸法が大きくなり、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置の高さ寸法を小さくすることが図れないという課題があった。 However, in the configuration of the conventional example, the conductive adhesive 955 and the like are formed on the side surface side of the binding pin 915 around which the coil end portion 934 (coil end portion) is wound and the surface of the image side spring member 914x (leaf spring). Between the members arranged in an L shape. Then, in order to ensure electrical connection between the coil end and the leaf spring, the height of the binding pin 915 is increased so that the coil end 934 is wound longer (from 7 turns to 9). About the turn). For this reason, the height dimension of the lens holding member (lens holder 937) in the optical axis direction is increased, and as a result, there is a problem that the height dimension of the lens driving device cannot be reduced.
 本発明は、上述した課題を解決するもので、光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることが可能なレンズ駆動装置を提供することを目的とする。 This invention solves the subject mentioned above, and aims at providing the lens drive device which can make the height dimension in an optical axis direction small.
 この課題を解決するために、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、レンズ体を保持可能な筒状のレンズ保持部材と、内側部分及び外側部分を有するとともに該レンズ保持部材に前記内側部分が固定され前記レンズ保持部材を光軸方向に移動可能に支持する板ばねと、該板ばねの前記外側部分が固定される固定側部材と、前記レンズ保持部材を光軸方向に沿って移動させる少なくとも磁石及びコイルを有して構成される駆動機構と、を備えたレンズ駆動装置において、前記板ばねの前記内側部分が、前記レンズ保持部材の光軸方向における一端部に固定されており、前記コイルが、前記レンズ保持部材の光軸方向における前記一端部と他端部との間の外周に導電性の線材が巻かれて形成された巻回部と、該巻回部の端部に繋がる延在部と、を有し、前記レンズ保持部材の前記一端部には、前記内側部分と光軸方向において離間して対向する対向部と、前記延在部の一部が保持される保持部と、を有し、前記対向部と前記内側部分との間に、前記延在部と前記内側部分とを電気的に接続する導電性接着剤が設けられていることを特徴としている。 In order to solve this problem, the lens driving device of the present invention includes a cylindrical lens holding member capable of holding a lens body, an inner portion and an outer portion, and the inner portion is fixed to the lens holding member. A leaf spring that supports the lens holding member so as to be movable in the optical axis direction, a fixed side member to which the outer portion of the leaf spring is fixed, and at least a magnet and a coil that move the lens holding member along the optical axis direction A driving mechanism comprising: a driving mechanism, wherein the inner portion of the leaf spring is fixed to one end in the optical axis direction of the lens holding member, and the coil is A winding part formed by winding a conductive wire around the outer periphery between the one end part and the other end part in the optical axis direction of the lens holding member; and an extension part connected to the end part of the winding part; Have, before The one end portion of the lens holding member has a facing portion that faces the inner portion with a distance in the optical axis direction, and a holding portion that holds a part of the extending portion, and the facing portion A conductive adhesive that electrically connects the extending part and the inner part is provided between the inner part and the inner part.
 これによれば、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、コイルの端部をより長く巻き付け電気的な接続を確保するための絡げ部を設ける必要がない、或いは絡げ部の突出高さを高くする必要がない。このことにより、レンズ保持部材の光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることができ、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置の光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることができる。 According to this, in the lens driving device of the present invention, it is not necessary to wind the end portion of the coil for a longer time to provide a binding portion for ensuring electrical connection, or to increase the protruding height of the binding portion. There is no need. As a result, the height dimension of the lens holding member in the optical axis direction can be reduced, and as a result, the height dimension of the lens driving device in the optical axis direction can be reduced.
 また、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、前記延在部が前記対向部と前記板ばねの前記内側部分との間に延在する接続部を有し、該接続部が前記導電性接着剤に埋設されていることを特徴としている。 In the lens driving device of the present invention, the extending portion has a connecting portion extending between the facing portion and the inner portion of the leaf spring, and the connecting portion is embedded in the conductive adhesive. It is characterized by being.
 これによれば、接続部が対向部と内側部分との間で導電性接着剤に埋設されているので、この接続部で、コイルの延在部と板ばねの内側部分とを確実に導通接続させることができる。また、対向部と内側部分との間でコイルの延在部と板ばねの内側部分とを導通接続させているので、保持部を延在部が絡げられる突出した絡げ部とした場合でも、その突出寸法を大きくする必要がない。このため、レンズ保持部材の光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることが可能となり、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置の光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることができる。 According to this, since the connecting portion is embedded in the conductive adhesive between the facing portion and the inner portion, the connecting portion reliably connects the extending portion of the coil and the inner portion of the leaf spring. Can be made. In addition, since the extension part of the coil and the inner part of the leaf spring are conductively connected between the facing part and the inner part, even when the holding part is a protruding binding part in which the extension part is entangled It is not necessary to increase the protruding dimension. For this reason, the height dimension of the lens holding member in the optical axis direction can be reduced, and consequently the height dimension of the lens driving device in the optical axis direction can be reduced.
 また、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、前記対向部には、前記内側部分側へ突出する突堤部で形成された収容部が設けられており、該収容部に前記接続部を埋設する前記導電性接着剤が充填されていることを特徴としている。 Further, in the lens driving device of the present invention, the facing portion is provided with a housing portion formed by a jetty portion protruding toward the inner portion side, and the conductive portion is embedded in the housing portion. It is characterized by being filled with an adhesive.
 これによれば、導電性接着剤を充填する際に、流動性を有する導電性接着剤を所望の位置(収容部)に保持することができる。このため、対向部と内側部分との間に延在している接続部がこの収容部に配設されて、接続部を導電性接着剤に確実に埋設させることができる。このことにより、コイルの延在部と板ばねの内側部分とをより確実に導通接続させることができる。 According to this, when filling the conductive adhesive, the conductive adhesive having fluidity can be held in a desired position (accommodating portion). For this reason, the connection part extended between the opposing part and the inner side part is arrange | positioned in this accommodating part, and a connection part can be reliably embed | buried in a conductive adhesive. Thereby, the extension part of a coil and the inner side part of a leaf | plate spring can be more conductively connected.
 また、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、前記突堤部が前記収容部の周囲に設けられた壁部を有し、前記突堤部の一方側には、前記保持部が設けられており、前記保持部と離間した前記突堤部の他方側には、前記壁部が切り欠かれた開放部が形成されており、該開放部に前記延在部が挿通されていることを特徴としている。 Further, in the lens driving device of the present invention, the jetty part has a wall part provided around the housing part, and the holding part is provided on one side of the jetty part, and the holding part An opening portion in which the wall portion is cut out is formed on the other side of the jetty portion spaced apart from the wall, and the extension portion is inserted through the opening portion.
 これによれば、開放部にコイルの延在部を挿通することができ、突堤部で囲まれた収容部を設けても、突堤部と延在部とが干渉することを回避することができる。このため、レンズ保持部材の対向部と板ばねの内側部分との間隔を狭く保つことができる。このことにより、レンズ駆動装置が光軸方向に大きくなるのを抑制することができる。また、開放部には延在部が挿通されているので、収容部に充填された導電性接着剤が開放部を介して流れ出し難くすることができる。 According to this, the extension part of the coil can be inserted into the open part, and even if the housing part surrounded by the jetty part is provided, it is possible to avoid the interference between the jetty part and the extension part. . For this reason, the space | interval of the opposing part of a lens holding member and the inner part of a leaf | plate spring can be kept narrow. This can prevent the lens driving device from becoming large in the optical axis direction. Moreover, since the extension part is inserted in the open part, the conductive adhesive filled in the storage part can be made difficult to flow out through the open part.
 また、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、前記開放部と対向する位置における前記内側部分には、前記導電性接着剤が前記保持部から離れる方向へ移動するのを防止する貫通部が設けられていることを特徴としている。 In the lens driving device of the present invention, a through portion that prevents the conductive adhesive from moving in a direction away from the holding portion is provided in the inner portion at a position facing the opening portion. It is characterized by that.
 これによれば、仮に導電性接着剤が保持部から離れる方向へ移動して開放部から流れ出そうとしても、貫通部を構成する端縁部でそれ以上の流れ出しを食い止めることができる。 According to this, even if the conductive adhesive moves in the direction away from the holding portion and tries to flow out from the open portion, it is possible to prevent further flow out at the edge portion constituting the penetrating portion.
 また、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、前記保持部が、前記収容部と隣り合う位置において、前記レンズ保持部材の前記一端部から前記突堤部と同じ方向へ突出する突出部からなり、前記延在部が前記突出部に巻き付けられる巻き付け部を有し、該巻き付け部と前記内側部分との間に前記導電性接着剤が設けられていることを特徴としている。 In the lens driving device of the present invention, the holding portion includes a protruding portion that protrudes in the same direction as the jetty portion from the one end portion of the lens holding member at a position adjacent to the housing portion, and extends A part has a winding part wound around the protrusion part, and the conductive adhesive is provided between the winding part and the inner part.
 これによれば、コイルの延在部を突出部(保持部)に巻き付けて、延在部の巻き付け部を容易に保持することができる。しかもコイルの巻き付け部と板ばねの内側部分との間に導電性接着剤が設けられており、接続部に加えてこの巻き付け部で導通接続させることができる。このことにより、導電性接着剤に接する延在部の面積を広くすることができ、確実に導通接続させることができるとともに、板ばねとコイルとの導通抵抗を小さくすることができる。 According to this, the extending part of the coil can be wound around the protruding part (holding part), and the winding part of the extending part can be easily held. In addition, a conductive adhesive is provided between the coil winding portion and the inner portion of the leaf spring, and the conductive connection can be established at this winding portion in addition to the connection portion. As a result, the area of the extending portion in contact with the conductive adhesive can be increased, and the conductive connection can be reliably established, and the conduction resistance between the leaf spring and the coil can be reduced.
 また、本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、前記内側部分は、前記収容部と対向する一面及び該一面と反対側の面である他面を有し、前記突出部が、その先端が前記他面側に位置するように前記内側部分から突出しているとともに、前記巻き付け部が、前記収容部に対向して位置する前記内側部分の端面と隙間を有して対向するように設けられ、前記端面側に位置する当該内側部分には、前記巻き付け部側が開放された切欠き部が形成されており、前記切欠き部から前記導電性接着剤が露出していることを特徴としている。 Further, in the lens driving device of the present invention, the inner portion has one surface that faces the housing portion and another surface that is a surface opposite to the one surface, and the protruding portion has a tip at the other surface side. Projecting from the inner portion so as to be located at the end portion, and the winding portion is provided so as to be opposed to the end surface of the inner portion facing the accommodating portion with a gap, A cutout portion in which the winding portion side is opened is formed in the inner portion that is positioned, and the conductive adhesive is exposed from the cutout portion.
 これによれば、切欠き部の端面にも導電性接着剤が接することとなり、板ばねの接着が確実なものとなる。また、収容部に導電性接着剤を充填して、その後に板ばねをレンズ保持部材に装着する場合には、導電性接着剤の充填量がばらついても、その量のばらつきを吸収できる。つまり、導電性接着剤が多い場合には、切欠き部から導電性接着剤が板ばねの内側部分の他面側に流れ出させることが可能である。更に、切欠き部を介して、導電性接着剤が適切に設けられているかを確認することができる。 According to this, the conductive adhesive comes into contact with the end face of the notch, and the leaf spring is reliably adhered. Further, when the accommodating portion is filled with the conductive adhesive and then the leaf spring is attached to the lens holding member, even if the filling amount of the conductive adhesive varies, the variation in the amount can be absorbed. That is, when there is much conductive adhesive, the conductive adhesive can flow out from the notch to the other side of the inner part of the leaf spring. Furthermore, it can be confirmed whether the conductive adhesive is appropriately provided through the notch.
 本発明のレンズ駆動装置は、コイルの端部をより長く巻き付け電気的な接続を確保するための絡げ部を設ける必要がない、或いは絡げ部の突出高さを高くする必要がない。このことにより、レンズ保持部材の光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることができ、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置の光軸方向における高さ寸法を小さくすることができる。 In the lens driving device of the present invention, it is not necessary to wind the end of the coil for a longer time and to provide a binding portion for ensuring electrical connection or to increase the protruding height of the binding portion. As a result, the height dimension of the lens holding member in the optical axis direction can be reduced, and as a result, the height dimension of the lens driving device in the optical axis direction can be reduced.

 次に、コイル3の各構成要素について、レンズ保持部材2にコイル3の線材を巻回する方法を交えながら、詳細に説明する。なお、説明を分かり易くするため、図10(b)に示すように、コイル3の巻き始め側で巻回部13の内周側に位置する巻回部13の端部に繋がっている延在部33を延在部33Aとし、コイル3の巻き終わり側で巻回部13の外周側に位置する巻回部13の端部に繋がっている延在部33を延在部33Bとして、以下説明する。 Next, each component of the coil 3 will be described in detail while using a method for winding the wire of the coil 3 around the lens holding member 2. For easy understanding, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), an extension connected to the end of the winding part 13 located on the inner peripheral side of the winding part 13 on the winding start side of the coil 3. The portion 33 is defined as an extending portion 33A, and the extending portion 33 connected to the end of the winding portion 13 located on the outer peripheral side of the winding portion 13 on the winding end side of the coil 3 is defined as an extending portion 33B. To do.
 先ず、コイル3の延在部33(33A、33B)は、図9に示すように、保持部(突出部)72(72A、72B)に巻き付けられる巻き付け部33mと、収容部82sの内底面(対向部)と対向して延在している接続部33cと、切欠部52kに挿通されて鍔状部52の一面側と他面側に延在している挿通部33kと、を有して構成されている。 First, as shown in FIG. 9, the extending portion 33 (33A, 33B) of the coil 3 includes a winding portion 33m wound around a holding portion (protruding portion) 72 (72A, 72B), and an inner bottom surface ( A connecting portion 33c extending opposite to the opposing portion), and an insertion portion 33k that is inserted through the notch 52k and extends to one surface side and the other surface side of the bowl-shaped portion 52. It is configured.
 そして、先ずコイル3の線材を巻き始める際には、コイル3の延在部33Aをレンズ保持部材2の保持部72Aに絡げるようにする。図9(a)に示す例では、コイル3の線材の一部が保持部72Aに3ターン巻き付けられている。これにより、巻き付け部33mが保持部72Aに形成され、延在部33Aの一部が保持部72Aに保持されることとなる。 First, when winding the wire of the coil 3, the extending portion 33 </ b> A of the coil 3 is entangled with the holding portion 72 </ b> A of the lens holding member 2. In the example shown in FIG. 9A, a part of the wire of the coil 3 is wound around the holding portion 72A for 3 turns. Thereby, the winding part 33m is formed in the holding part 72A, and a part of the extending part 33A is held by the holding part 72A.
 次に、線材を絡げた巻き付け部33mから線材を引き出して、レンズ保持部材2の外周に線材を巻回する。その際には、図9(a)に示すように、巻き付け部33mから引き出された線材が、収容部82sの内底面(対向部)と対向するとともに、壁部が切り欠かれた開放部82zに挿通される。更に、線材は、鍔状部52の他面側から鍔状部52の切欠部52kを介して鍔状部52の一面側(コイル3の巻回部13側)に延在している。これにより、突堤部82(対向部)及び収容部82sの内底面(対向部)と対向する部分が延在部33Aの接続部33cとなっており、切欠部52kに挿通される部分が延在部33Aの挿通部33kとなっている。 Next, the wire is drawn out from the winding portion 33m around which the wire is wound, and the wire is wound around the outer periphery of the lens holding member 2. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9A, the wire drawn out from the winding portion 33m faces the inner bottom surface (opposing portion) of the accommodating portion 82s, and the open portion 82z in which the wall portion is cut out. Is inserted. Furthermore, the wire extends from the other surface side of the hook-shaped portion 52 to one surface side (the winding portion 13 side of the coil 3) of the hook-shaped portion 52 via the notch 52k of the hook-shaped portion 52. Thereby, the part facing the inner bottom face (opposing part) of the jetty part 82 (opposing part) and the accommodating part 82s is the connecting part 33c of the extending part 33A, and the part inserted through the notch part 52k is extended. It is the insertion part 33k of the part 33A.
 また、延在部33Aの挿通部33kは、コイル3の巻回部13側に延在する際に、図9(a)に示すように、レンズ保持部材2の弾性変形部62に当接して構成されている。これにより、落下等により強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加えられた際には、コイル3の延在部33Aがレンズ保持部材2の弾性変形部62に押し付けられるようになる。このため、この弾性変形部62が、弾性変形して延在部33Aにかかる衝撃を吸収することとなる。このことにより、延在部33Aが切欠部52kのエッジで切断され難いものとすることができ、コイル3が断線し難いレンズ駆動装置101を提供することができる。 Further, when the insertion portion 33k of the extension portion 33A extends toward the winding portion 13 of the coil 3, as shown in FIG. 9A, the insertion portion 33k contacts the elastic deformation portion 62 of the lens holding member 2. It is configured. Accordingly, when a strong impact is applied to the lens driving device 101 due to dropping or the like, the extending portion 33 </ b> A of the coil 3 is pressed against the elastic deformation portion 62 of the lens holding member 2. For this reason, this elastic deformation part 62 will elastically deform and will absorb the impact concerning extension part 33A. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the lens driving device 101 in which the extending portion 33A is difficult to be cut at the edge of the notch 52k, and the coil 3 is difficult to be disconnected.
 更に、本発明の第1実施形態では、弾性変形部62に当接して設けられた延在部33Aが巻回部13の内周側に位置する巻回部13の端部に繋がっているので、巻回部13の外周側に位置する他方の延在部33B(コイル3の巻終わり側に繋がっている延在部33B)の場合と比較して、切欠部52kのエッジ部分での屈曲角度が狭くなっている。このため、コイル3の巻き始め側の延在部33Aと切欠部52kのエッジ部分とが当接する力がより強くなるので、この部分に弾性変形部62を設けることで、切欠部52kのエッジ部分から延在部33Aに力が加わるのをより効果的に緩和することができる。このことにより、落下等で強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加わった場合でも、延在部33Aが切欠部52kのエッジでより切断され難いものとすることができる。 Furthermore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the extending portion 33 </ b> A provided in contact with the elastic deformation portion 62 is connected to the end of the winding portion 13 located on the inner peripheral side of the winding portion 13. The bending angle at the edge portion of the cutout portion 52k as compared with the other extension portion 33B (extension portion 33B connected to the winding end side of the coil 3) located on the outer peripheral side of the winding portion 13 Is narrower. For this reason, since the force of contact between the extending portion 33A on the winding start side of the coil 3 and the edge portion of the cutout portion 52k becomes stronger, by providing the elastic deformation portion 62 in this portion, the edge portion of the cutout portion 52k It is possible to more effectively alleviate the force applied to the extending portion 33A. Thus, even when a strong impact is applied to the lens driving device 101 due to dropping or the like, the extending portion 33A can be more difficult to be cut at the edge of the notch 52k.
 また、前述したように、弾性変形部62の薄肉部62qが、図9(a)に示すように、隣接して互いに交差する二辺の位置に形成された連結部62rで、鍔状部52に繋がっているので、落下等により強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加えられて、コイル3の延在部33Aが弾性変形部62に強く押し付けられたとしても、この薄肉部62qを二辺(連結部62r)で支えて衝撃を受けることができる。このことにより、弾性変形部62の薄肉部62qが鍔状部52から破断して脱落するのを防止することができる。特に、本発明の第1実施形態では、薄肉部62qを鍔状部52側に向かうにしたがって肉厚寸法が厚く変化している連結部62rで鍔状部52に繋げているので、肉厚の寸法を急激に変化させた形態に比べて、強い衝撃が加えられた場合に、薄肉部62qの根本に加えられる応力が分散され、薄肉部62qがより破断しにくくなっている。 Further, as described above, the thin-walled portion 62q of the elastically deformable portion 62 is a connecting portion 62r formed at two positions adjacent to each other as shown in FIG. Therefore, even if a strong impact is applied to the lens driving device 101 due to dropping or the like, and the extension portion 33A of the coil 3 is strongly pressed against the elastic deformation portion 62, the thin portion 62q is connected to two sides (connections). It can be supported by the part 62r) and receive an impact. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the thin-walled portion 62q of the elastically deformable portion 62 from breaking and falling off from the bowl-shaped portion 52. In particular, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the thin wall portion 62q is connected to the hook-shaped portion 52 by the connecting portion 62r whose thickness dimension is increased as it goes toward the hook-shaped portion 52 side. Compared with the form in which the dimensions are changed rapidly, when a strong impact is applied, the stress applied to the base of the thin portion 62q is dispersed, and the thin portion 62q is more difficult to break.
 次に、レンズ保持部材2の外周に巻回されたコイル3の巻回部13は、図5(b)に示すように、レンズ保持部材2の筒部12の周囲を囲む位置に配設され、コイル支持部12j(図5(a)を参照)により内側から支持された状態で、コイル3の一部が庇部12hと鍔状部52に挟まれるようにして、鍔状部52の一面側(上面側)に固定されている。そして、コイル3の巻回部13の内周面がコイル支持部12jにより等方的にバランス良く支持されるため、コイル3の中心軸とレンズ保持部材2の中心軸とが一致した状態でレンズ保持部材2に保持される。これにより、レンズ保持部材2に保持されたレンズ体のレンズの光軸とレンズ保持部材2の中心軸とを容易に一致させ易くなる。 Next, the winding portion 13 of the coil 3 wound around the outer periphery of the lens holding member 2 is disposed at a position surrounding the cylindrical portion 12 of the lens holding member 2 as shown in FIG. One surface of the bowl-shaped part 52 so that a part of the coil 3 is sandwiched between the collar part 12h and the bowl-shaped part 52 while being supported from the inside by the coil support part 12j (see FIG. 5A). It is fixed to the side (upper surface side). And since the inner peripheral surface of the winding part 13 of the coil 3 is supported in an isotropically balanced manner by the coil support part 12j, the lens in a state where the central axis of the coil 3 and the central axis of the lens holding member 2 coincide with each other. It is held by the holding member 2. Thereby, the optical axis of the lens of the lens body held by the lens holding member 2 and the central axis of the lens holding member 2 can be easily matched.
 最後に、レンズ保持部材2の外周への線材の巻回が終了したら、コイル3の線材(巻回部13の巻き終わり側の端部に繋がる延在部33B)は、図9(b)に示すように、鍔状部52の一面側から鍔状部52の切欠部52kを介して鍔状部52の他面側に引き出される。そして、延在部33B(線材)は、突堤部82の開放部82zに挿通されるとともに、収容部82sの内底面(対向部)と対向して延在され、レンズ保持部材2の保持部72Bに絡げられる。図9(b)に示す例では、保持部72Bに3ターン巻き付けられている。これにより、切欠部52kに挿通される部分が延在部33Bの挿通部33kとなっており、突堤部82(対向部)及び収容部82sの内底面(対向部)と対向する部分が延在部33Bの接続部33cとなっている。また、巻き付け部33mが保持部72Bに形成され、延在部33Bの一部が保持部72Bに保持されることとなる。 Finally, when the winding of the wire rod around the outer periphery of the lens holding member 2 is completed, the wire rod of the coil 3 (extending portion 33B connected to the end portion on the winding end side of the winding portion 13) is shown in FIG. As shown, it is pulled out from the one surface side of the hook-shaped portion 52 to the other surface side of the hook-shaped portion 52 through the notch 52 k of the hook-shaped portion 52. The extending portion 33B (wire) is inserted into the open portion 82z of the jetty portion 82, and is extended to face the inner bottom surface (opposing portion) of the accommodating portion 82s, and the holding portion 72B of the lens holding member 2 is extended. Entangled in In the example shown in FIG. 9B, the holding portion 72B is wound three turns. Thereby, the part inserted into the notch 52k is the insertion part 33k of the extension part 33B, and the part facing the jetty part 82 (opposing part) and the inner bottom surface (opposing part) of the accommodating part 82s extends. It becomes the connection part 33c of the part 33B. Further, the winding portion 33m is formed in the holding portion 72B, and a part of the extending portion 33B is held in the holding portion 72B.
 以上のように構成されたレンズ保持部材2とコイル3において、保持部72(72A、72B)と離間した他方側に、突堤部82の壁部が切り欠かれた開放部82zが形成されており、この開放部82zにコイル3の延在部33(接続部33c)を挿通させている。このため、突堤部82で囲まれた収容部82sを設けていても、突堤部82と延在部33とが干渉することを回避することができ、レンズ保持部材2の対向部と板ばね6の内側部分との間隔を狭く保つことができる。このことにより、レンズ駆動装置101が光軸方向JDに大きくなるのを抑制することができる。 In the lens holding member 2 and the coil 3 configured as described above, an open portion 82z in which the wall portion of the jetty portion 82 is notched is formed on the other side separated from the holding portion 72 (72A, 72B). The extending portion 33 (connecting portion 33c) of the coil 3 is inserted through the open portion 82z. For this reason, even if the accommodating part 82s surrounded by the jetty part 82 is provided, it can be avoided that the jetty part 82 and the extending part 33 interfere with each other, and the opposing part of the lens holding member 2 and the leaf spring 6 can be avoided. The distance from the inner part of the can be kept narrow. This can prevent the lens driving device 101 from increasing in the optical axis direction JD.
 次に、駆動機構MKのヨーク4について説明する。ヨーク4は、鉄等の軟磁性体材料の板材に抜き加工や絞り加工を施して作製しており、図1に示すように、外形が収納部4sを有した箱状に形成されている。そして、ヨーク4は、矩形状の環状で外側に形成された外ヨーク4Aと、外ヨーク4Aの上端(図1に示すZ1側)と連続して設けられた平板状の上面部4Bと、上面部4Bの一部から下方(図1に示すZ2方向)に延設された4つの内ヨーク4Cと、を有して構成されている。また、内ヨーク4Cが形成された四隅には、上面部4Bより下方に位置する段差部4Dが設けられている。このように構成されたヨーク4は、図10(b)に示すように、コイル3及び磁石5を収納部4sに収容し、図2に示すように、ベース部材18に係合されて、ベース部材18とともに外形を構成している。 Next, the yoke 4 of the drive mechanism MK will be described. The yoke 4 is produced by subjecting a plate of soft magnetic material such as iron to punching or drawing, and as shown in FIG. 1, the outer shape is formed in a box shape having a storage portion 4s. The yoke 4 has a rectangular annular outer yoke 4A formed on the outside, a flat upper surface portion 4B provided continuously with the upper end (Z1 side shown in FIG. 1) of the outer yoke 4A, and an upper surface. And four inner yokes 4C extending downward (Z2 direction shown in FIG. 1) from a part of the portion 4B. Further, step portions 4D positioned below the upper surface portion 4B are provided at the four corners where the inner yoke 4C is formed. The yoke 4 configured as described above accommodates the coil 3 and the magnet 5 in the accommodating portion 4s as shown in FIG. 10B, and is engaged with the base member 18 as shown in FIG. The outer shape is formed together with the member 18.
 ヨーク4の内ヨーク4Cは、図3(a)及び図10(b)に示すように、平面視して、円弧状に形成され、外ヨーク4Aの4つの角部に対向するように、等間隔で配設されている。また、詳細な図示はしていないが、レンズ駆動装置101が組み立てられた際には、内ヨーク4Cのそれぞれは、レンズ保持部材2の筒部12の外周に沿って配設されるとともに、コイル3の内周面と対向して配設される。更に、内ヨーク4Cのそれぞれは、図10(b)に示すように、コイル3を挟んで、磁石5のそれぞれと対向する位置に配設されている。なお、ヨーク4を絞り加工で作製する際には、ヨーク4の内ヨーク4Cが円弧状であるので、容易に絞り加工を行うことができる。このため、ヨーク4の内ヨーク4Cの形状及び配設の位置の精度を高めることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 10 (b), the inner yoke 4C of the yoke 4 is formed in an arc shape in plan view so as to face the four corners of the outer yoke 4A, etc. They are arranged at intervals. Although not shown in detail, when the lens driving device 101 is assembled, each of the inner yokes 4C is disposed along the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion 12 of the lens holding member 2, and the coil 3 is disposed so as to face the inner peripheral surface. Further, each of the inner yokes 4C is disposed at a position facing each of the magnets 5 with the coil 3 interposed therebetween, as shown in FIG. When the yoke 4 is manufactured by drawing, the inner yoke 4C of the yoke 4 has an arc shape, so that drawing can be easily performed. For this reason, the precision of the shape of the inner yoke 4C of the yoke 4 and the position of arrangement | positioning can be improved.
 最後に、駆動機構MKの磁石5について説明する。磁石5は、図1に示すように、横断面形状が台形形状で、平板状の外形をしており、4つの磁石5が、図10(b)に示すように、コイル3の外側に位置するとともに、ヨーク4の四隅に等分に配設されている。また、磁石5の台形形状における傾斜する2つの外側面は、外ヨーク4Aに沿った形状をしている。このため、レンズ駆動装置101を組み立てる際に、この2つの外側面を外ヨーク4Aに押しあてて配置することができ、磁石5の位置決めを容易に行うことができる。そして、図示はしていないが、磁石5は、ヨーク4の段差部4Dとの間に板ばね6(上側板ばね16)の一部を挟持するようにして、接着剤により、ヨーク4に固定されている。 Finally, the magnet 5 of the drive mechanism MK will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the magnet 5 has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape and a flat outer shape, and the four magnets 5 are positioned outside the coil 3 as shown in FIG. In addition, the yokes 4 are equally arranged at the four corners. Further, the two inclined outer surfaces in the trapezoidal shape of the magnet 5 have a shape along the outer yoke 4A. For this reason, when assembling the lens driving device 101, the two outer surfaces can be pressed against the outer yoke 4A and arranged, and the magnet 5 can be easily positioned. Although not shown, the magnet 5 is fixed to the yoke 4 with an adhesive so that a part of the leaf spring 6 (upper leaf spring 16) is sandwiched between the stepped portion 4D of the yoke 4. Has been.

The upper plate spring 16 includes two lower plate springs (26A, 26B) disposed between the lens holding member 2 and the base member 18. Then, each of the lens holding member 2 and the leaf spring 6 (upper leaf spring 16, lower leaf spring 26A, lower leaf spring 26B) is engaged, and the lens holding member 2 is in the optical axis direction JD (Z direction shown in FIG. 2). The lens holding member 2 is supported in the air so that it can be moved to. Note that the lower leaf spring 26 </ b> A and the lower leaf spring 26 </ b> B are electrically connected to both ends of the coil 3, respectively, and are also used as a power feeding member for the coil 3.

Note that the yoke 4 and the magnet 5 here function as the fixed side member RG.
 そして、上側板ばね16がレンズ駆動装置101に組み込まれた際には、図4(a)に示すように、第1部分16aがレンズ保持部材2の台座部12dに載置され、第1部分16aと台座部12dとを接着剤で固定することにより、上側板ばね16の内側部分がレンズ保持部材2に固定されるようになる。また、図4(b)に示すように、第2部分16bが磁石5の上面と当接し、図示はしていないが、ヨーク4との間に挟持されて、上側板ばね16の外側部分が固定されるようになる。 When the upper leaf spring 16 is incorporated into the lens driving device 101, as shown in FIG. 4A, the first portion 16a is placed on the pedestal portion 12d of the lens holding member 2, and the first portion The inner part of the upper leaf spring 16 is fixed to the lens holding member 2 by fixing the 16a and the pedestal part 12d with an adhesive. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the second portion 16b contacts the upper surface of the magnet 5 and is not shown, but is sandwiched between the yoke 4 and the outer portion of the upper leaf spring 16 is It becomes fixed.
 また、上側板ばね16は、図11(a)に示すように、ほぼ線対称の形状に構成しており、第1部分16aの2箇所の均等な位置でレンズ保持部材2に固定されているとともに、ベース部材18と一体化されたヨーク4に対して第2部分16bの4箇所の均等な位置で固定されている。これにより、上側板ばね16は、レンズ保持部材2をバランス良く空中で支持することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 11A, the upper leaf spring 16 has a substantially line-symmetric shape, and is fixed to the lens holding member 2 at two equal positions of the first portion 16a. In addition, the yoke 4 integrated with the base member 18 is fixed at four equal positions of the second portion 16b. Accordingly, the upper leaf spring 16 can support the lens holding member 2 in the air in a well-balanced manner.
 次に、板ばね6の下側板ばね(26A、26B)は、図11(b)に示すように、それぞれの内側形状が半円形状をしており、レンズ保持部材2の光軸方向JDにおける一端部(下端部)に固定される内側部分と、固定側部材RGに固定される外側部分と、内側部分と外側部分との間に位置する4箇所の弾性腕部26gと、を有して構成されている。 Next, as shown in FIG. 11B, the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) of the leaf spring 6 each have a semicircular shape, and the lens holding member 2 in the optical axis direction JD. An inner portion fixed to one end portion (lower end portion), an outer portion fixed to the fixed side member RG, and four elastic arm portions 26g located between the inner portion and the outer portion; It is configured.
 また、下側板ばね(26A、26B)の内側部分は、図11(b)に示すように、レンズ保持部材2と係合される6箇所の第3部分26cと、3箇所の第3部分26c間を繋ぐ4つの第1連結部26pと、コイル3の延在部33と対向する接続板部26h(図12を参照)と、を有して構成されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the inner portions of the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) are composed of six third portions 26c engaged with the lens holding member 2 and three third portions 26c. It has four first connecting portions 26p that connect them, and a connecting plate portion 26h (see FIG. 12) that faces the extending portion 33 of the coil 3.
 そして、この下側板ばね(26A、26B)がレンズ駆動装置101に組み込まれた際には、図6及び図8に示すレンズ保持部材2の6つの突設部2tが図11(b)に示す下側板ばね(26A、26B)の第3部分26cに設けられた円形の貫通孔に挿通されて嵌合される。これにより、下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26Bの内側部分がレンズ保持部材2に位置決めされるとともに、レンズ保持部材2に固定される。なお、この際には、レンズ保持部材2の突設部2tに熱かしめを施して、より確実に下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26Bをレンズ保持部材2に固定している。 And when this lower leaf | plate spring (26A, 26B) is integrated in the lens drive device 101, the six protrusion parts 2t of the lens holding member 2 shown in FIG.6 and FIG.8 are shown in FIG.11 (b). The lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) are inserted and fitted into circular through holes provided in the third portion 26c. Accordingly, the inner portions of the lower leaf spring 26 </ b> A and the lower leaf spring 26 </ b> B are positioned on the lens holding member 2 and fixed to the lens holding member 2. At this time, heat projection is applied to the projecting portion 2t of the lens holding member 2 so that the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B are more securely fixed to the lens holding member 2.
 また、下側板ばね(26A、26B)の内側部分の接続板部26hは、図12に示すように、レンズ駆動装置101が組み立てられた際には、レンズ保持部材2の突堤部82(対向部)と対向するようになってる。これにより、内側部分の接続板部26hの一面(上面)(図12(b)に示すZ1方向側の面)が突堤部82で形成された収容部82sと対向するとともに、板ばね6(下側板ばね26A、下側板ばね26B)内側部分の一面とレンズ保持部材2の対向部(突堤部82及び収容部82sの内底面)との間に、コイル3の延在部33の接続部33cが延在するようになる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the connecting plate portion 26h on the inner side of the lower leaf spring (26A, 26B) is connected to the jetty portion 82 (opposing portion) of the lens holding member 2 when the lens driving device 101 is assembled. ). Thereby, one surface (upper surface) (surface on the Z1 direction side shown in FIG. 12 (b)) of the inner side connection plate portion 26h faces the accommodating portion 82s formed by the jetty portion 82, and the leaf spring 6 (lower The connecting portion 33c of the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 is provided between one surface of the inner side portion of the side leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B) and the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 (the inner bottom surface of the pier portion 82 and the accommodating portion 82s). It becomes extended.
 そして、内側部分の接続板部26hには、図12(a)に示すように、突堤部82の開放部82zと対向する位置に、両側から切り欠かれた貫通部26tが設けられているとともに、コイル3の巻き付け部33mと隙間を有した端面側に、巻き付け部33m側が開放されたU字形状(半円形状)の切欠き部26kが設けられている。なお、貫通部26tは、平面視して、突堤部82の内側壁部82u及び外側壁部82vの端縁部が臨まれる位置に設けられ、貫通部26tを構成している壁端面26eがこの端縁部に重なって設けられている。また、切欠き部26kは、収容部82sを臨むようにこの収容部82sと対向して形成されている。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 12A, the inner side connection plate portion 26 h is provided with a through portion 26 t cut away from both sides at a position facing the open portion 82 z of the jetty portion 82. A U-shaped (semi-circular) cutout portion 26k is provided on the end surface side having a gap with the winding portion 33m of the coil 3 so that the winding portion 33m side is opened. In addition, the penetration part 26t is provided in the position where the edge part of the inner wall part 82u of the jetty part 82 and the outer side wall part 82v faces in planar view, and the wall end surface 26e which comprises the penetration part 26t is this It is provided to overlap the edge. Further, the notch 26k is formed to face the accommodating portion 82s so as to face the accommodating portion 82s.
また、下側板ばね(26A、26B)がレンズ保持部材2に組み付けられた際には、図12(b)に示すように、保持部72を構成する突出部は、その先端が下側板ばね(26A、26B)の接続板部26h(内側部分)の下面である他面(収容部82sと対向する一面と反対側の面)側に位置するように、内側部分から下方(図12(b)に示すZ2方向)に突出している。更に、突出部に巻き付けられた巻き付け部33mの一部も、内側部分から下方(図12(b)に示すZ2方向)に位置している。 Further, when the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) are assembled to the lens holding member 2, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the projecting portion constituting the holding portion 72 has the lower leaf spring ( 26A and 26B) from the inner portion so as to be located on the other surface (the surface opposite to the one surface facing the accommodating portion 82s) which is the lower surface of the connecting plate portion 26h (inner portion) (FIG. 12B). (Z2 direction). Further, a part of the winding portion 33m wound around the protruding portion is also located below (in the Z2 direction shown in FIG. 12B) from the inner portion.
 以上のようにして構成された、板ばね6の下側板ばね(26A、26B)とコイル3の延在部33とが、合成樹脂中に銀粒子等の導電性フィラーが分散された導電性接着剤CAで電気的に接続されている。具体的な方法は、下側板ばね(26A、26B)をレンズ保持部材2に組み込む前に、先ず、レンズ保持部材2の突堤部82で囲まれた収容部82sに導電性接着剤CAを充填し、その後、下側板ばね(26A、26B)をレンズ保持部材2に装着する。そして、レンズ保持部材2の突設部2tを熱かしめするとともに、導電性接着剤CAを熱硬化する。この導電性接着剤CAの収容部82sへの充填工程ないし導電性接着剤CAの熱硬化工程は、保持部72(突出部)が上方に突出するようにレンズ保持部材2を逆さまにした状態で行われる。これにより、本発明の第1実施形態では、対向部に突堤部82を有しているので、導電性接着剤CAを収容部82s上に充填する際に、流動性を有する導電性接着剤CAを所望の位置(収容部82s)に保持することができる。このことにより、レンズ保持部材2の対向部と下側板ばね(26A、26B)の内側部分との間に延在している接続部33cがこの収容部82sに配設されて、接続部33cを導電性接着剤CAに確実に埋設させることができる。なお、導電性接着剤CAは、熱硬化型に限らず、紫外線硬化型のものでも構わない。 The lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) of the leaf spring 6 and the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 configured as described above are conductive adhesives in which conductive fillers such as silver particles are dispersed in a synthetic resin. It is electrically connected with the agent CA. Specifically, before the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) are incorporated into the lens holding member 2, first, the accommodating portion 82s surrounded by the jetty portion 82 of the lens holding member 2 is filled with the conductive adhesive CA. Thereafter, the lower leaf springs (26 A, 26 B) are attached to the lens holding member 2. Then, the projecting portion 2t of the lens holding member 2 is heat caulked, and the conductive adhesive CA is thermoset. In the filling process of the conductive adhesive CA into the housing portion 82s or the thermal curing process of the conductive adhesive CA, the lens holding member 2 is turned upside down so that the holding part 72 (protruding part) protrudes upward. Done. Thereby, in 1st Embodiment of this invention, since it has the jetty part 82 in the opposing part, when filling the electrically conductive adhesive CA on the accommodating part 82s, the electrically conductive adhesive CA which has fluidity | liquidity. Can be held at a desired position (accommodating portion 82s). Accordingly, the connecting portion 33c extending between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 and the inner portion of the lower leaf spring (26A, 26B) is disposed in the accommodating portion 82s, and the connecting portion 33c is connected to the connecting portion 33c. It can be reliably embedded in the conductive adhesive CA. The conductive adhesive CA is not limited to the thermosetting type, and may be an ultraviolet curable type.
 これにより、従来例のようなコイル端部934(コイルの端部)が巻かれた絡げピン915の側面と像側バネ部材914x(板ばね6に相当)の面との間に導電性接着剤955等を配置するような構成でなく、レンズ保持部材2の対向部と板ばね6(下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26B)の内側部分との間に、コイル3の延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分とを電気的に接続する導電性接着剤CAが設けられている構成となる。このため、コイル3の端部をより長く巻き付け電気的な接続を確保するための絡げ部(絡げピン915)を設ける必要がない、或いは絡げ部(保持部72)の突出高さを高くする必要がない。このことにより、レンズ保持部材2の光軸方向JDにおける高さ寸法を小さくすることができ、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置101の光軸方向JDにおける高さ寸法を小さくすることができる。 As a result, conductive bonding is performed between the side surface of the binding pin 915 around which the coil end portion 934 (coil end portion) is wound and the surface of the image side spring member 914x (corresponding to the leaf spring 6) as in the conventional example. The extending portion 33 of the coil 3 is not disposed between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 (the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B). The conductive adhesive CA that electrically connects the inner part of the leaf spring 6 is provided. For this reason, it is not necessary to wind the end part of the coil 3 for a longer time and to provide a binding part (entanglement pin 915) for ensuring electrical connection, or the protrusion height of the binding part (holding part 72) is increased. There is no need to raise it. As a result, the height dimension of the lens holding member 2 in the optical axis direction JD can be reduced, and as a result, the height dimension of the lens driving device 101 in the optical axis direction JD can be reduced.
 また、対向配置されるレンズ保持部材2の対向部と板ばね6(下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26B)の内側部分との間に導電性接着剤CAが設けられて接続されているので、落下等による強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加えられて板ばね6(下側板ばね26A、下側板ばね26B)が変形した際でも、導電性接着剤CAを剥がれにくいものとすることができる。つまり、従来例のような構成では、導電性接着剤955等がコイル端部934(コイルの端部)が巻かれた絡げピン915の側面と像側バネ部材914x(板ばね6)の面との間にL字状に配置されていると、落下等による強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置901に加えられて像側バネ部材914xが変形した際には、2つの部材(コイルの端部と板ばね6)の角度が広がるような力が作用し、導電性接着剤955等がコイル端部934或いは像側バネ部材914xから剥がれ易くなる。このような課題に対して、本発明の第1実施形態のレンズ駆動装置101は、導電性接着剤CAを板ばね6等から引き剥がすような垂直方向(図2に示すZ方向)の力は作用しにくいため、この剥がれを防止することができ、コイル3と板ばね6との電気的な接続を確実に確保することができる。 In addition, since the conductive adhesive CA is provided and connected between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 disposed to face and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 (the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B), Even when a strong impact due to dropping or the like is applied to the lens driving device 101 and the leaf spring 6 (lower leaf spring 26A, lower leaf spring 26B) is deformed, the conductive adhesive CA can be made difficult to peel off. In other words, in the configuration as in the conventional example, the conductive adhesive 955 or the like has the side surface of the binding pin 915 around which the coil end portion 934 (coil end portion) is wound and the surface of the image side spring member 914x (leaf spring 6). If the image side spring member 914x is deformed by applying a strong impact due to dropping or the like to the lens driving device 901, the two members (the end of the coil and the plate) A force that widens the angle of the spring 6) acts, and the conductive adhesive 955 and the like are easily peeled off from the coil end 934 or the image-side spring member 914x. For such a problem, the lens driving device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a vertical force (Z direction shown in FIG. 2) that peels the conductive adhesive CA from the leaf spring 6 or the like. Since it does not act easily, this peeling can be prevented and the electrical connection between the coil 3 and the leaf spring 6 can be ensured reliably.
 更に、延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分とが、合成樹脂中に導電性フィラーが分散した導電性接着剤CAで電気的に接続されているので、半田でしっかり固定して接続する場合と比較して、接続部分の導電性接着剤CA層の弾性が高いため、板ばね6の内側部分(接続板部26h)の僅かな可動を許容している。このため、内側部分に引張力が働いた際に、内側部分の可動で、この引張力を緩和することができる。このことにより、落下等で強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加わった場合でも、内側部分が剥がれるのを防止することができ、コイル3と板ばね6との接続をより確実に確保することができる。更に、接続部分の導電性接着剤CA層の弾性が高いため、延在部33の僅かな可動も許容している。このため、延在部33に引張力が働いた際に、延在部33の可動で、この引張力を緩和することができる。このことにより、落下等で強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加わった場合でも、延在部33が切欠部52kのエッジでより一層切断され難いものとすることができる。 Furthermore, since the extending portion 33 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 are electrically connected by the conductive adhesive CA in which the conductive filler is dispersed in the synthetic resin, the connection is firmly fixed with the solder. Since the elasticity of the conductive adhesive CA layer at the connecting portion is high, the inner portion (connecting plate portion 26h) of the leaf spring 6 is allowed to move slightly. For this reason, when a tensile force acts on the inner portion, the tensile force can be relaxed by the movement of the inner portion. As a result, even when a strong impact is applied to the lens driving device 101 due to dropping or the like, it is possible to prevent the inner portion from being peeled off, and to ensure the connection between the coil 3 and the leaf spring 6 more reliably. . Furthermore, since the elasticity of the conductive adhesive CA layer at the connecting portion is high, slight movement of the extending portion 33 is allowed. For this reason, when a tensile force is applied to the extending portion 33, the tensile force can be relaxed by the movement of the extending portion 33. Accordingly, even when a strong impact is applied to the lens driving device 101 due to dropping or the like, the extending portion 33 can be made more difficult to be cut at the edge of the notch portion 52k.
 また、延在部33の接続部33cがレンズ保持部材2の対向部(収容部82sの内底面)と下側板ばね(26A、26B)の内側部分(接続板部26h)との間で導電性接着剤CAに埋設されているので、この接続部33cで、コイル3の延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分とを確実に導通接続させることができる。 Further, the connecting portion 33c of the extending portion 33 is electrically conductive between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 (the inner bottom surface of the accommodating portion 82s) and the inner portion (the connecting plate portion 26h) of the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B). Since it is embedded in the adhesive CA, the extension 33 of the coil 3 and the inner part of the leaf spring 6 can be reliably connected by this connection portion 33c.
 また、突堤部82に隣接して、レンズ保持部材2の一端部から突堤部82と同じ方向へ突出する突出部からなる保持部72を有し、コイル3の延在部33がこの突出部に巻き付けられているので、延在部33の巻き付け部33mを容易に保持することができる。しかもコイル3の巻き付け部33mと板ばね6(下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26B)の内側部分との間に導電性接着剤CAが設けられており、コイル3の接続部33cに加えてこの巻き付け部33mでも板ばね6と導通接続させることができる。このことにより、導電性接着剤CAに接する延在部33の面積を広くすることができ、確実に導通接続させることができるとともに、板ばね6とコイル3との導通抵抗を小さくすることができる。 Moreover, it has the holding part 72 which consists of the protrusion part which protrudes in the same direction as the jetty part 82 from the one end part of the lens holding member 2 adjacent to the jetty part 82, and the extension part 33 of the coil 3 is in this protrusion part. Since it is wound, the winding part 33m of the extending part 33 can be easily held. Moreover, a conductive adhesive CA is provided between the winding portion 33m of the coil 3 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 (the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B). In addition to the connection portion 33c of the coil 3, this conductive adhesive CA is provided. Even the winding portion 33m can be electrically connected to the leaf spring 6. As a result, the area of the extending portion 33 in contact with the conductive adhesive CA can be increased, and the conductive connection between the leaf spring 6 and the coil 3 can be reduced while the conductive connection can be ensured. .
 また、本発明の第1実施形態では、板ばね6の接続板部26hには、突堤部82で形成された収容部82sを臨んだ切欠き部26kが形成されており、この切欠き部26kから導電性接着剤CAが露出している構成となっている。このため、切欠き部26kの端面にも導電性接着剤CAが接することとなり、板ばね6の内側部分とコイル3の延在部33との電気的な接続が確実なものとなる。 Moreover, in 1st Embodiment of this invention, the notch part 26k which faced the accommodating part 82s formed in the jetty part 82 is formed in the connection board part 26h of the leaf | plate spring 6, This notch part 26k. Therefore, the conductive adhesive CA is exposed. For this reason, the conductive adhesive CA is also in contact with the end face of the notch 26k, and the electrical connection between the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 and the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 is ensured.
 また、収容部82sに導電性接着剤CAを充填して、その後に板ばね6(下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26B)をレンズ保持部材2に装着する場合には、導電性接着剤CAの充填量がばらついても、この切欠き部26kによりその量のばらつきを吸収できる。つまり、導電性接着剤CAが多い場合には、切欠き部26kから導電性接着剤CAが板ばね6の内側部分(接続板部26h)の他面側に流れ出させることが可能である。更に、切欠き部26kの部分を確認することで、導電性接着剤CAが適切に設けられているか否かを確認することができる。 Further, when the accommodating portion 82s is filled with the conductive adhesive CA and then the leaf spring 6 (the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B) is attached to the lens holding member 2, the conductive adhesive CA is removed. Even if the filling amount varies, the notch 26k can absorb the variation in the amount. That is, when the amount of the conductive adhesive CA is large, the conductive adhesive CA can flow out from the notch portion 26k to the other side of the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 (connection plate portion 26h). Furthermore, it is possible to confirm whether or not the conductive adhesive CA is appropriately provided by confirming the notch portion 26k.
 更に、本発明の第1実施形態のように、切欠き部26kが保持部72(側壁部82w)側に位置し巻き付け部33mと隣り合う場合には、板ばね6の内側部分(接続板部26h)の他面側にまで導電性接着剤CAを設ける、或いは流れ出させることで、コイル3の延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分とをより一層確実に導通接続させることができる。更に、導電性接着剤CAに接する延在部33の面積をより広くすることができ、板ばね6とコイル3の延在部33との導通抵抗をより小さくすることができる。 Furthermore, as in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the notch portion 26k is located on the holding portion 72 (side wall portion 82w) side and is adjacent to the winding portion 33m, the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 (connection plate portion) 26h) By providing the conductive adhesive CA to the other surface side or causing the conductive adhesive CA to flow out, the extended portion 33 of the coil 3 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 can be more securely connected. Furthermore, the area of the extended portion 33 in contact with the conductive adhesive CA can be increased, and the conduction resistance between the leaf spring 6 and the extended portion 33 of the coil 3 can be further reduced.
 更に、収容部82sに導電性接着剤CAを充填して、その後に板ばね6(下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26B)をレンズ保持部材2に配置した場合に、巻き付け部33m側に向けて開放された切欠き部26kが内側部分(接続板部26h)に形成されているので、導電性接着剤CAが巻き付け部33m側に押し出されるため、内側部分の端面(切欠き部26kの端面を含む)と巻き付け部33mとの間に導電性接着剤CAを確実に設けることができ、板ばね6の内側部分とコイル3の延在部33との導通抵抗を下げてより確実に電気的に接続することができる。 Furthermore, when the accommodating portion 82s is filled with the conductive adhesive CA, and then the leaf spring 6 (the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B) is disposed on the lens holding member 2, it faces toward the winding portion 33m. Since the opened notch 26k is formed in the inner part (connection plate part 26h), the conductive adhesive CA is pushed out to the winding part 33m side, so that the end face of the inner part (the end face of the notch 26k is The conductive adhesive CA can be reliably provided between the winding portion 33m and the winding portion 33m, and the conduction resistance between the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 and the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 can be lowered more reliably and electrically. Can be connected.
 また、突堤部82は、内側壁部82uと外側壁部82vとの間隔が、保持部72(72A、72B)側の一方側よりも開放部82z側の他方側の方が狭くなるように形成されている。このため、より多くの導電性接着剤CAを巻き付け部33m側に設けることができるので、コイル3と板ばね6間の導通抵抗をより小さくすることができる。しかも、開放部82z側が狭く形成され、開放部82zに延在部33(接続部33c)が挿通されているので、収容部82sに充填された導電性接着剤CAが開放部82zを介して流れ出し難くすることができる。 Further, the jetty portion 82 is formed such that the interval between the inner wall portion 82u and the outer wall portion 82v is narrower on the other side on the open portion 82z side than on one side on the holding portion 72 (72A, 72B) side. Has been. For this reason, since more conductive adhesive CA can be provided in the winding part 33m side, the conduction | electrical_connection resistance between the coil 3 and the leaf | plate spring 6 can be made smaller. Moreover, since the open portion 82z side is narrowly formed and the extending portion 33 (connecting portion 33c) is inserted into the open portion 82z, the conductive adhesive CA filled in the accommodating portion 82s flows out through the open portion 82z. Can be difficult.
 また、図12(a)に示すように、開放部82z(図9(a)を参照)と対向する位置における内側部分には、貫通部26tが設けられているので、仮に導電性接着剤CAが保持部72から離れる方向へ移動して開放部82zから流れ出そうとしても、貫通部26tを構成する壁端面26eでそれ以上の流れ出しを食い止めることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 12 (a), since the through portion 26t is provided in the inner portion at a position facing the open portion 82z (see FIG. 9 (a)), the conductive adhesive CA is temporarily provided. Even if it moves in the direction away from the holding part 72 and tries to flow out from the opening part 82z, the wall end face 26e constituting the penetrating part 26t can prevent further flow out.
 一方、下側板ばね(26A、26B)の外側部分は、図11(b)に示すように、ベース部材18と係合される4箇所の第4部分26dと、2箇所の第4部分26d同士を繋ぐ2つの第2連結部26qと、を有して構成されている。なお、言うまでもないが、下側板ばね(26A、26B)の外側部分は、図10(a)に示すように、内側部分よりもレンズ保持部材2の中心からの距離が大きく、内側部分の外側に位置している。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11B, the outer portions of the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) include four fourth portions 26d engaged with the base member 18 and two fourth portions 26d. Two second connecting portions 26q that connect the two. Needless to say, the outer portion of the lower leaf spring (26A, 26B) has a larger distance from the center of the lens holding member 2 than the inner portion, as shown in FIG. positioned.
 そして、下側板ばね(26A、26B)の第4部分26dに設けられた6つの貫通孔に、後述するベース部材18の上面に設けられた6つの突設部18t(図13を参照)が挿通されて嵌合される。これにより、下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26Bの外側部分がベース部材18に位置決めされるとともに、固定側部材RGであるベース部材18に固定される。 Then, six projecting portions 18t (see FIG. 13) provided on the upper surface of the base member 18 described later are inserted into the six through holes provided in the fourth portion 26d of the lower leaf spring (26A, 26B). And fitted. As a result, the outer portions of the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B are positioned on the base member 18 and fixed to the base member 18 that is the stationary member RG.
 また、下側板ばね26Aと下側板ばね26Bとは、図11(b)に示すように、ほぼ線対称の形状に構成しており、レンズ保持部材2に対して第3部分26cの4箇所の対称な位置で接続されているとともに、ベース部材18に対して第4部分26dの4箇所の均等な位置で接続されている。これにより、レンズ保持部材2をバランス良く空中で支持することができる。従って、以上のように構成された板ばね6(上側板ばね16、下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26B)により、レンズ保持部材2を光軸方向JDへ移動可能に支持している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the lower leaf spring 26 </ b> A and the lower leaf spring 26 </ b> B are configured in a substantially line-symmetric shape, and the four portions of the third portion 26 c with respect to the lens holding member 2. In addition to being connected at symmetrical positions, the base member 18 is connected at four equal positions of the fourth portion 26d. Thereby, the lens holding member 2 can be supported in the air with good balance.

Here, since the fixed side member RG of the upper leaf spring 16 has been described in the items of the yoke 4 and the magnet 5 which are also the drive mechanism MK, description thereof will be omitted, and the fixed side member RG of the lower leaf spring (26A, 26B). Only explained.
 固定側部材RGのベース部材18は、液晶ポリマー(LCP)等の合成樹脂を用いて射出成形して作製されており、図1及び図13に示すように、外形が矩形の板状形状で構成され、中央に円形の開口18kが形成されている。また、ベース部材18の上面には、上方に向けて突出する6つの突設部18tが四隅に設けられている。そして、下側板ばね(26A、26B)の第4部分26dに設けられた貫通孔に、ベース部材18の上面に設けられた突設部18tが挿通されて、貫通孔と突設部18tとが嵌合される。なお、この際には、ベース部材18の突設部18tに熱かしめを施して、より確実に下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26Bをベース部材18に固定している。 The base member 18 of the fixed-side member RG is manufactured by injection molding using a synthetic resin such as liquid crystal polymer (LCP), and has a rectangular plate shape as shown in FIGS. A circular opening 18k is formed at the center. Further, on the upper surface of the base member 18, six projecting portions 18 t projecting upward are provided at the four corners. And the protrusion part 18t provided in the upper surface of the base member 18 is penetrated by the through-hole provided in the 4th part 26d of the lower leaf | plate spring (26A, 26B), and a through-hole and the protrusion part 18t are inserted. Mated. At this time, the caulking portion 18t of the base member 18 is heat caulked to more reliably fix the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B to the base member 18.
 ベース部材18には、図1及び図13に示すように、銅や鉄若しくはそれらを主成分とした合金等の材質を用いた金属板からなる端子7が、インサート成形されて埋め込まれている。そして、電気的に絶縁された2つの端子7(端子7A及び端子7B)のそれぞれは、図示していない撮像素子を実装した基板と電気的に接続され、この2つの端子7から電力を供給できるようになっている。そして、端子7の一方の端子7Aは、下側板ばね26Aと電気的に接続されるとともに、端子7の他方の端子7Bは、下側板ばね26Bと電気的に接続されており、この端子7A及び端子7Bから、下側板ばね26A及び下側板ばね26Bを介して、コイル3に電流を流すことができる。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 13, a terminal 7 made of a metal plate made of a material such as copper, iron, or an alloy containing them as a main component is embedded in the base member 18 by insert molding. Each of the two electrically insulated terminals 7 (terminal 7A and terminal 7B) is electrically connected to a substrate on which an imaging element (not shown) is mounted, and power can be supplied from these two terminals 7. It is like that. One terminal 7A of the terminal 7 is electrically connected to the lower leaf spring 26A, and the other terminal 7B of the terminal 7 is electrically connected to the lower leaf spring 26B. A current can be passed from the terminal 7B to the coil 3 via the lower leaf spring 26A and the lower leaf spring 26B.
 また、ベース部材18には、詳細な図示はしていないが、銅や鉄若しくはそれらを主成分とした合金等の材質を用いた金属板からなる接続部材57も、端子7と同様に、インサート成形されて埋め込まれており、接続部材57の一部は、図2に示すように、ヨーク4の四隅に一部を露出している。そして、ヨーク4の外ヨーク4Aの内壁とベース部材18の外周側面が組み合わさって位置決めされた後に、ベース部材18の接続部材57とヨーク4の四隅とのつなぎ目部分を4箇所溶接して、ヨーク4をベース部材18に固定している。 Although not shown in detail in the base member 18, a connection member 57 made of a metal plate made of a material such as copper, iron, or an alloy containing them as a main component is also inserted like the terminal 7.

 以上のように構成された本発明の第1実施形態のレンズ駆動装置101における、効果について、以下に纏めて説明する。なお、本発明の第1実施形態における下側板ばね(26A、26B)が本発明の“板ばね”に相当するものであるので、以降の説明では、特に断りのない限り、“板ばね6”とは、“下側板ばね(26A、26B)”を指している。 The effects of the lens driving device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described below. Since the lower leaf springs (26A, 26B) in the first embodiment of the present invention correspond to the “leaf springs” of the present invention, in the following description, unless otherwise specified, “leaf springs 6”. Means “lower leaf springs (26A, 26B)”.
 本発明の第1実施形態のレンズ駆動装置101は、レンズ保持部材2の対向部と板ばね6の内側部分との間に、コイル3の延在部33と内側部分とを電気的に接続する導電性接着剤CAが設けられているので、コイル3の端部をより長く巻き付け電気的な接続を確保するための絡げ部(絡げピン915)を設ける必要がない、或いは絡げ部の突出高さを高くする必要がない。このことにより、レンズ保持部材2の光軸方向JDにおける高さ寸法を小さくすることができ、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置101の光軸方向JDにおける高さ寸法を小さくすることができる。また、対向状態で配置されるレンズ保持部材2の対向部と板ばね6の内側部分との間に導電性接着剤CAが設けられて接続されているので、落下等による強い衝撃がレンズ駆動装置101に加えられても、導電性接着剤CAを剥がれにくいものとすることができる。 The lens driving device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention electrically connects the extending portion 33 and the inner portion of the coil 3 between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6. Since the conductive adhesive CA is provided, it is not necessary to wrap the end portion of the coil 3 for a longer time to secure an electrical connection, or to provide a tangling pin (915). There is no need to increase the protruding height. As a result, the height dimension of the lens holding member 2 in the optical axis direction JD can be reduced, and as a result, the height dimension of the lens driving device 101 in the optical axis direction JD can be reduced. In addition, since the conductive adhesive CA is provided and connected between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 disposed in the facing state and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6, a strong impact due to dropping or the like is applied to the lens driving device. Even when added to 101, the conductive adhesive CA can be made difficult to peel off.
 また、接続部33cが対向部と内側部分との間で導電性接着剤CAに埋設されているので、この接続部33cで、コイル3の延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分とを確実に導通接続させることができる。また、対向部と内側部分との間でコイル3の延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分とを導通接続させているので、保持部72を延在部33が絡げられる突出した絡げ部とした場合でも、その突出寸法を大きくする必要がない。このため、レンズ保持部材2の光軸方向JDにおける高さ寸法を小さくすることが可能となり、ひいてはレンズ駆動装置101の光軸方向JDにおける高さ寸法を小さくすることができる。 Further, since the connecting portion 33c is embedded in the conductive adhesive CA between the facing portion and the inner portion, the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 are securely connected by this connecting portion 33c. Can be electrically connected. Further, since the extension part 33 of the coil 3 and the inner part of the leaf spring 6 are electrically connected between the facing part and the inner part, the protruding part of the holding part 72 in which the extension part 33 is entangled. Even in the case of a portion, it is not necessary to increase the protruding dimension. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the height dimension of the lens holding member 2 in the optical axis direction JD, and consequently, it is possible to reduce the height dimension of the lens driving device 101 in the optical axis direction JD.
 また、接続部33cを埋設する導電性接着剤CAが突堤部82で形成された収容部82sに充填されているので、導電性接着剤CAを充填する際に、流動性を有する導電性接着剤CAを所望の位置(収容部82s)に保持することができる。このため、レンズ保持部材2の対向部と内側部分の接続板部26hとの間に延在している接続部33cがこの収容部82sに配設されて、接続部33cを導電性接着剤CAに確実に埋設させることができる。このことにより、コイル3の延在部33と板ばね6の内側部分(接続板部26h)とをより確実に導通接続させることができる。 Further, since the conductive adhesive CA that embeds the connection portion 33c is filled in the accommodating portion 82s formed by the jetty portion 82, the conductive adhesive having fluidity is filled when the conductive adhesive CA is filled. CA can be held at a desired position (accommodating portion 82s). For this reason, a connection portion 33c extending between the facing portion of the lens holding member 2 and the connection plate portion 26h of the inner portion is disposed in the housing portion 82s, and the connection portion 33c is connected to the conductive adhesive CA. Can be reliably buried. Thereby, the extension part 33 of the coil 3 and the inner side part (connection board part 26h) of the leaf | plate spring 6 can be more conductively connected.
 また、突堤部82の一方側に設けられた保持部72と離間した他方側には、突堤部82の壁部が切り欠かれた開放部82zが形成されているので、この開放部82zにコイル3の延在部33を挿通することができる。このため、突堤部82で囲まれた収容部82sを設けても、突堤部82と延在部33とが干渉することを回避することがで、レンズ保持部材2の対向部と板ばね6の内側部分との間隔を狭く保つことができる。このことにより、レンズ駆動装置101が光軸方向JDに大きくなるのを抑制することができる。また、開放部82zには延在部33が挿通されているので、収容部82sに充填された導電性接着剤CAが開放部82zを介して流れ出し難くすることができる。 Moreover, since the open part 82z by which the wall part of the jetty part 82 was notched is formed in the other side spaced apart from the holding | maintenance part 72 provided in the one side of the jetty part 82, it is a coil in this open part 82z. Three extending portions 33 can be inserted. For this reason, even if the accommodating portion 82s surrounded by the jetty portion 82 is provided, it is possible to prevent the jetty portion 82 and the extending portion 33 from interfering with each other, so that the opposing portion of the lens holding member 2 and the leaf spring 6 can be prevented. The distance from the inner portion can be kept narrow. This can prevent the lens driving device 101 from increasing in the optical axis direction JD. Further, since the extending portion 33 is inserted into the opening portion 82z, the conductive adhesive CA filled in the accommodating portion 82s can be prevented from flowing out through the opening portion 82z.
 また、開放部82zと対向する位置における内側部分には、貫通部26tが設けられているので、仮に導電性接着剤CAが保持部72から離れる方向へ移動して開放部82zから流れ出そうとしても、貫通部26tを構成する端縁部で、それ以上の流れ出しを食い止めることができる。 Further, since the through portion 26t is provided in the inner portion at the position facing the opening portion 82z, even if the conductive adhesive CA moves in a direction away from the holding portion 72 and flows out of the opening portion 82z. Further, it is possible to prevent further outflow at the end edge portion constituting the through portion 26t.
 また、レンズ保持部材2の一端部から突堤部82と同じ方向へ突出する突出部からなる保持部72を有し、コイル3の延在部33がこの突出部に巻き付けられているので、延在部33の巻き付け部33mを容易に保持することができる。しかもコイル3の巻き付け部33mと板ばね6の内側部分との間に導電性接着剤CAが設けられており、接続部33cに加えてこの巻き付け部33mで導通接続させることができる。このことにより、導電性接着剤CAに接する延在部33の面積を広くすることができ、確実に導通接続させることができるとともに、板ばね6とコイル3との導通抵抗を小さくすることができる。 In addition, since the lens holding member 2 has a holding portion 72 formed of a protruding portion that protrudes in the same direction as the jetty portion 82 and the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 is wound around this protruding portion, the extending portion 33 extends. The winding portion 33m of the portion 33 can be easily held. In addition, a conductive adhesive CA is provided between the winding portion 33m of the coil 3 and the inner portion of the leaf spring 6, and the conductive portion CA can be conductively connected to the winding portion 33m in addition to the connection portion 33c. As a result, the area of the extending portion 33 in contact with the conductive adhesive CA can be increased, and the conductive connection between the leaf spring 6 and the coil 3 can be reduced while the conductive connection can be ensured. .
 また、板ばね6の接続板部26hには、突堤部82で形成された収容部82sを臨んだ切欠き部26kが形成されており、この切欠き部26kから導電性接着剤CAが露出しているので、切欠き部26kの端面にも導電性接着剤CAが接することとなり、板ばね6の内側部分とコイル3の延在部33との電気的な接続が確実なものとなる。また、収容部82sに導電性接着剤CAを充填して、その後に板ばね6をレンズ保持部材2に装着する場合には、導電性接着剤CAの充填量がばらついても、この切欠き部26kによりその量のばらつきを吸収できる。つまり、導電性接着剤CAが多い場合には、切欠き部26kから導電性接着剤CAが板ばね6の内側部分(接続板部26h)の他面側に流れ出させることが可能である。更に、切欠き部26kの部分を確認することで、導電性接着剤CAが適切に設けられているか否かを確認することができる。 Further, the connection plate portion 26h of the leaf spring 6 is formed with a notch portion 26k facing the accommodating portion 82s formed by the jetty portion 82, and the conductive adhesive CA is exposed from the notch portion 26k. Therefore, the conductive adhesive CA is also in contact with the end face of the notch 26k, and the electrical connection between the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 and the extending portion 33 of the coil 3 is ensured. In addition, when the accommodating portion 82s is filled with the conductive adhesive CA, and then the leaf spring 6 is attached to the lens holding member 2, the cutout portion is provided even if the filling amount of the conductive adhesive CA varies. The variation in the amount can be absorbed by 26k. That is, when the amount of the conductive adhesive CA is large, the conductive adhesive CA can flow out from the notch portion 26k to the other side of the inner portion of the leaf spring 6 (connection plate portion 26h). Furthermore, it is possible to confirm whether or not the conductive adhesive CA is appropriately provided by confirming the notch portion 26k.
