For example, the optical axis of the lens body held by the first lens holding member 31 coincides with the first central axis J1. Therefore, the vertical direction, which is the Z-axis direction, is the optical axis direction of the lens body held by the first lens holding member 31.

The second central axis J2 is a virtual axis parallel to the vertical direction. The second central axis J2 is located at the same position as the first central axis J1 in the front-rear direction and is located on the right side (+ Y side) of the first central axis J1.
 第2レンズ保持部材32に保持されるレンズ体の光軸は、例えば、第2中心軸J2と一致する。したがって、上下方向は、第2レンズ保持部材32に保持されるレンズ体の光軸方向でもある。第1レンズ保持部材31に保持されるレンズ体と第2レンズ保持部材32に保持されるレンズ体とは、互いに同じ種類のレンズ体であってもよいし、異なる種類のレンズ体であってもよい。 The optical axis of the lens body held by the second lens holding member 32 coincides with, for example, the second central axis J2. Therefore, the vertical direction is also the optical axis direction of the lens body held by the second lens holding member 32. The lens body held by the first lens holding member 31 and the lens body held by the second lens holding member 32 may be the same type of lens body or different types of lens bodies. Good.

 なお、本明細書において、各磁石同士の左右方向の寸法の比較は、第1磁石、第1コイル、兼用磁石、第2コイルおよび第2磁石を通り左右方向に平行な仮想線上における比較とする。すなわち、各磁石の左右方向の寸法が上下方向あるいは前後方向の位置によって異なる場合であっても、上記の仮想線上において各磁石同士の左右方向の寸法の関係が成り立っていればよい。 In addition, in this specification, the comparison of the dimension of each magnet in the left-right direction is a comparison on a virtual line that passes through the first magnet, the first coil, the dual-purpose magnet, the second coil, and the second magnet and is parallel to the left-right direction. . That is, even when the horizontal dimension of each magnet differs depending on the position in the vertical direction or the front-rear direction, it is only necessary that the horizontal dimension relationship between the magnets be established on the imaginary line.

 兼用磁石43において、N極である第2面43bから放出された磁束は、第2コイル34を左右方向(図4では右向き)に通過して、第2レンズ保持部材32の径方向内側に入る。第2レンズ保持部材32の径方向内側に入った磁束は、第2磁石42からの磁束と反発して上下方向両側に進み、天板部21内あるいはベース部70側を通って左右方向の第1レンズ保持部材31側(左側)に進む。天板部21内あるいはベース部70側を進む磁束は、第1磁石41からの磁束と反発して第1レンズ保持部材31の径方向内側に入り、第1コイル33を左右方向(図4では右向き)に通過して、S極である第1面43aから兼用磁石43に戻る。 In the dual-purpose magnet 43, the magnetic flux emitted from the second surface 43 b that is an N pole passes through the second coil 34 in the left-right direction (rightward in FIG. 4) and enters the inner side in the radial direction of the second lens holding member 32. . The magnetic flux entering the radially inner side of the second lens holding member 32 repels the magnetic flux from the second magnet 42 and proceeds to both sides in the vertical direction, and passes through the top plate portion 21 or the base portion 70 side in the left-right direction. Proceed to one lens holding member 31 side (left side). The magnetic flux traveling in the top plate portion 21 or the base portion 70 side repels the magnetic flux from the first magnet 41 and enters the inner side in the radial direction of the first lens holding member 31, and moves the first coil 33 in the left-right direction (in FIG. 4). Passes rightward) and returns to the dual-purpose magnet 43 from the first surface 43a which is the S pole.
 なお、本実施形態においては、カバー20が磁性体製の金属で形成されているため、兼用磁石43から発せられた磁束は、天板部21内を通るものが支配的となり、ベース部70側を通るものは多くはない。また、兼用磁石43の延在方向である前後方向の両端部近傍には、内ヨークとして機能する内壁部23c,23dが設けられているため、兼用磁石43からの磁束を効率的に第1コイル33に作用させることができる。同様に、内壁部24a,24bが内ヨークとして機能することで、兼用磁石43からの磁束を効率的に第2コイル34に作用させることができる。 In the present embodiment, since the cover 20 is formed of a magnetic metal, the magnetic flux generated from the dual-purpose magnet 43 is predominantly transmitted through the top plate portion 21, and the base portion 70 side is dominant. There are not many that pass. Further, inner wall portions 23c and 23d functioning as inner yokes are provided in the vicinity of both ends in the front-rear direction, which is the extending direction of the dual-purpose magnet 43, so that the magnetic flux from the dual-purpose magnet 43 is efficiently transferred to the first coil. 33 can be applied. Similarly, since the inner wall portions 24a and 24b function as inner yokes, the magnetic flux from the dual-purpose magnet 43 can be efficiently applied to the second coil 34.
 第1磁石41において、N極である第2面41bから放出された磁束は、側板部22の内側面からカバー20内に入る。カバー20内に入った磁束は、側板部22内を上下方向両側に進み、天板部21内あるいはベース部70側を左右方向の第1レンズ保持部材31側(右側)に進む。天板部21内あるいはベース部70側を進む磁束は、兼用磁石43からの磁束と反発して第1レンズ保持部材31の径方向内側に入り、第1コイル33を左右方向(図4では左向き)に通過して、S極である第1面41aから第1磁石41に戻る。 In the first magnet 41, the magnetic flux emitted from the second surface 41 b that is the N pole enters the cover 20 from the inner surface of the side plate portion 22. The magnetic flux that has entered the cover 20 travels in the side plate portion 22 to both sides in the vertical direction, and travels in the top plate portion 21 or the base portion 70 side to the first lens holding member 31 side (right side) in the left-right direction. The magnetic flux traveling in the top plate portion 21 or the base portion 70 side repels the magnetic flux from the dual-purpose magnet 43 and enters the first lens holding member 31 in the radial direction, and moves the first coil 33 in the left-right direction (in FIG. ) And returns to the first magnet 41 from the first surface 41a which is the S pole.
 なお、第1磁石41から発せられた磁束は、天板部21内を通るものが支配的となっており、ベース部70側を通るものは少ない。また、内ヨークとして機能する内壁部23a,23bがカバー20に設けられているので、第1磁石41からの磁束を効率的に第1コイル33に作用させることができる。 In addition, the magnetic flux generated from the first magnet 41 is dominant when it passes through the top plate portion 21, and few passes through the base portion 70 side. Further, since the inner wall portions 23a and 23b functioning as the inner yoke are provided on the cover 20, the magnetic flux from the first magnet 41 can be efficiently applied to the first coil 33.
 第2磁石42において、N極である第1面42aから放出された磁束は、第2コイル34を左右方向(図4では左向き)に通過して、第2レンズ保持部材32の径方向内側に入る。第2レンズ保持部材32の径方向内側に入った磁束は、兼用磁石43からの磁束と反発して上下方向両側に進み、天板部21内あるいはベース部70側を左右方向の第2磁石42側(右側)に進む。天板部21内あるいはベース部70側を進む磁束は、側板部22内に入り、側板部22を介して、S極である第2面42bから第2磁石42に戻る。 In the second magnet 42, the magnetic flux emitted from the first surface 42 a that is the N pole passes through the second coil 34 in the left-right direction (leftward in FIG. 4), and enters the inner side in the radial direction of the second lens holding member 32. enter. The magnetic flux that has entered the inside in the radial direction of the second lens holding member 32 repels the magnetic flux from the dual-purpose magnet 43 and proceeds to both sides in the vertical direction, and the second magnet 42 in the horizontal direction in the top plate portion 21 or the base portion 70 side. Go to the side (right side). The magnetic flux traveling in the top plate portion 21 or the base portion 70 side enters the side plate portion 22, and returns to the second magnet 42 from the second surface 42 b that is the S pole via the side plate portion 22.
 なお、第2磁石42から発せられた磁束は、天板部21内を通るものが支配的であり、ベース部70側を通るものは少ない。また、内ヨークとして機能する内壁部24c,24dがカバー20に設けられているので、第2磁石42からの磁束を効率的に第2コイル34に作用させることができる。 In addition, the magnetic flux generated from the second magnet 42 is dominant when it passes through the top plate portion 21, and few passes through the base portion 70 side. Further, since the inner wall portions 24c and 24d functioning as the inner yoke are provided on the cover 20, the magnetic flux from the second magnet 42 can be efficiently applied to the second coil 34.
 各磁石によって、上記のような磁気回路が生じた状態で、第1コイル33および第2コイル34に電流を流すと、フレミングの左手の法則に基づいて、第1コイル33および第2コイル34に上下方向のローレンツ力が生じる。これにより、第1コイル33と第2コイル34とのそれぞれを介して、第1レンズ保持部材31と第2レンズ保持部材32とをレンズ体の光軸方向である上下方向に駆動することができる。 When a current is passed through the first coil 33 and the second coil 34 in a state where the magnetic circuit as described above is generated by each magnet, the first coil 33 and the second coil 34 are applied based on Fleming's left-hand rule. A vertical Lorentz force is generated. Thereby, the first lens holding member 31 and the second lens holding member 32 can be driven in the up-down direction, which is the optical axis direction of the lens body, through the first coil 33 and the second coil 34, respectively. .
 具体的に本実施形態においては、第1コイル33に平面視で時計回り向きの電流を流した場合には、第1コイル33には上向きのローレンツ力が生じて、第1レンズ保持部材31が上向きに移動する。一方、第1コイル33に、平面視で反時計回り向きの電流を流した場合には、第1コイル33には下向きのローレンツ力が生じて、第1レンズ保持部材31が下向きに移動する。 Specifically, in the present embodiment, when a current flowing clockwise in the plan view is passed through the first coil 33, an upward Lorentz force is generated in the first coil 33, and the first lens holding member 31 is moved. Move upward. On the other hand, when a counterclockwise current is passed through the first coil 33 in a plan view, a downward Lorentz force is generated in the first coil 33, and the first lens holding member 31 moves downward.
 第1レンズ保持部材31が上下方向に移動すると、上側板バネ部材50のバネ部52cおよび下側板バネ部材60Aのバネ部61c,62cが弾性変形し、第1レンズ保持部材31が移動する向きと逆向きの弾性力を第1レンズ保持部材31に加える。第1レンズ保持部材31の移動は、第1コイル33に生じたローレンツ力とバネ部52c,61c,62cによる弾性力の合成力とが上下方向において釣り合う箇所で停止する。  When the first lens holding member 31 moves in the vertical direction, the spring portion 52c of the upper leaf spring member 50 and the spring portions 61c and 62c of the lower leaf spring member 60A are elastically deformed, and the direction in which the first lens holding member 31 moves. A reverse elastic force is applied to the first lens holding member 31. The movement of the first lens holding member 31 stops at a point where the Lorentz force generated in the first coil 33 and the resultant force of the elastic force by the spring portions 52c, 61c, 62c balance in the vertical direction. *
なお、図4においては、第1レンズ保持部材31が上側に移動した状態で停止している場合を示している。この場合、各保持部52a,52b,61b,62bは、各固定部51,61a,62aよりも上側に位置しており、第1レンズ保持部材31に下向きの弾性力を加えている。これは、第2レンズ保持部材32についても同様である。 FIG. 4 shows a case where the first lens holding member 31 is stopped in a state of moving upward. In this case, each holding part 52a, 52b, 61b, 62b is located above each fixing part 51, 61a, 62a, and applies downward elastic force to the first lens holding member 31. The same applies to the second lens holding member 32.
 第1コイル33に生じるローレンツ力は、第1コイル33に供給される電流の大きさを変更することで変えることができる。したがって、第1コイル33に供給する電流の大きさを調整することで、各バネ部52c,61c,62cの弾性力の合成力との釣り合いの位置を変えて、第1レンズ保持部材31の上下方向の位置を調整することができる。第1コイル33への電流の供給は、第1金属板部材72に接続された図示しない外部電源によって行われる。具体的には、外部電源から、第1部材72a、第1部分61、第1コイル33、第2部分62、第2部材72bの順、あるいはこの逆順に電流が流れることによって、第1コイル33に電流が供給される。 The Lorentz force generated in the first coil 33 can be changed by changing the magnitude of the current supplied to the first coil 33. Accordingly, by adjusting the magnitude of the current supplied to the first coil 33, the position of the balance with the combined force of the elastic forces of the spring portions 52c, 61c, 62c is changed, and the upper and lower positions of the first lens holding member 31 are changed. The position of the direction can be adjusted. The current is supplied to the first coil 33 by an external power source (not shown) connected to the first metal plate member 72. Specifically, the current flows from the external power source in the order of the first member 72a, the first portion 61, the first coil 33, the second portion 62, the second member 72b, or in the reverse order. Is supplied with current.
 本実施形態において第2コイル34を通過する磁束の向きは、第1コイル33を通過する磁束の向きと反対向きである。そのため、第2レンズ保持部材32を第1レンズ保持部材31と上下方向の同じ向きに移動させるためには、第2コイル34に第1コイル33に供給するのと反対向きとなるように電流を供給すればよい。第2コイル34への電流の供給は、第1コイル33と同様に、図示しない外部電源によって行われる。 In this embodiment, the direction of the magnetic flux passing through the second coil 34 is opposite to the direction of the magnetic flux passing through the first coil 33. Therefore, in order to move the second lens holding member 32 in the same vertical direction as the first lens holding member 31, a current is supplied to the second coil 34 in the opposite direction to that supplied to the first coil 33. What is necessary is just to supply. The supply of current to the second coil 34 is performed by an external power source (not shown) as with the first coil 33.
 第1コイル33に電流を供給する外部電源と、第2コイル34に電流を供給する外部電源とは、同じ外部電源であってもよいし、異なる外部電源であってもよい。 The external power source that supplies current to the first coil 33 and the external power source that supplies current to the second coil 34 may be the same external power source or different external power sources.
 レンズ駆動装置10を備えたカメラにおいては、各レンズ保持部材に保持されるレンズ体を含んでそれぞれ構成されるカメラユニットによって、例えば、立体的な画像の撮影が可能である。また、例えば、各カメラユニットによって撮影された各画像を合成し、所定の処理を行うことで、撮影された画像の解像度を向上させることもできる。 In the camera provided with the lens driving device 10, for example, a three-dimensional image can be taken by the camera units each including a lens body held by each lens holding member. In addition, for example, the resolution of the captured image can be improved by combining the images captured by the camera units and performing a predetermined process.
 本実施形態によれば、第1コイル33と第2コイル34との間に配置された兼用磁石43が、第1駆動部30Aの磁石と第2駆動部30Bの磁石とを兼ねている。そのため、第1駆動部30Aの第2駆動部30B側の磁気回路および第2駆動部30Bの第1駆動部30A側の磁気回路の両方を、兼用磁石43によって生じさせることができる。したがって、各駆動部同士間において磁束の干渉が生じない。これにより、第1駆動部30Aと第2駆動部30Bとを近づけてレンズ駆動装置10を小型化する場合であっても、磁気回路の設計が困難になることがなく、容易に磁気回路の設計を行うことができる。また、第1駆動部30Aと第2駆動部30Bとを所望する位置に配置することができる。以上により、本実施形態によれば、複数のレンズ保持部材を備え、設計を容易としつつ、小型化できるレンズ駆動装置10が得られる。 According to the present embodiment, the dual-purpose magnet 43 disposed between the first coil 33 and the second coil 34 serves as the magnet of the first drive unit 30A and the magnet of the second drive unit 30B. Therefore, both the magnetic circuit on the second drive unit 30B side of the first drive unit 30A and the magnetic circuit on the first drive unit 30A side of the second drive unit 30B can be generated by the dual-purpose magnet 43. Therefore, magnetic flux interference does not occur between the drive units. Accordingly, even when the lens driving device 10 is downsized by bringing the first driving unit 30A and the second driving unit 30B close to each other, the design of the magnetic circuit is not difficult, and the design of the magnetic circuit is easily performed. It can be performed. Further, the first driving unit 30A and the second driving unit 30B can be arranged at desired positions. As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain the lens driving device 10 that includes a plurality of lens holding members and can be downsized while simplifying the design.
 また、本実施形態によれば、第1コイル33を挟んで左右方向の反対側に第1磁石41が設けられている。第1磁石41の第1コイル33側の磁極と兼用磁石43の第1コイル33側の磁極とは、互いに同じである。そのため、第1磁石41によって生じる磁気回路において第1コイル33を通る磁束の向きと、兼用磁石43によって生じる磁気回路において第1コイル33を通る磁束の向きとは、互いに逆向きとなる。また、第1磁石41からの磁束が作用する部分における第1コイル33を流れる電流の向きと、兼用磁石43からの磁束が作用する部分における第1コイル33を流れる電流の向きとは、互いに逆向きである。これにより、第1コイル33に電流を流した際に、左右方向の両側において生じるローレンツ力の向きを同じにできる。このように、第1コイル33の左右方向の両側に第1磁石41と兼用磁石43とが設けられていることで、2つの磁石で安定して第1レンズ保持部材31を光軸方向である上下方向に駆動させることができる。これは、第2駆動部30Bについても同様である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the first magnet 41 is provided on the opposite side in the left-right direction across the first coil 33. The magnetic pole on the first coil 33 side of the first magnet 41 and the magnetic pole on the first coil 33 side of the dual-purpose magnet 43 are the same. Therefore, the direction of the magnetic flux passing through the first coil 33 in the magnetic circuit generated by the first magnet 41 and the direction of the magnetic flux passing through the first coil 33 in the magnetic circuit generated by the dual-purpose magnet 43 are opposite to each other. The direction of the current flowing through the first coil 33 in the portion where the magnetic flux from the first magnet 41 acts is opposite to the direction of the current flowing through the first coil 33 in the portion where the magnetic flux from the dual-purpose magnet 43 acts. The direction. Thereby, when a current is passed through the first coil 33, the direction of the Lorentz force generated on both sides in the left-right direction can be made the same. Thus, by providing the first magnet 41 and the dual-purpose magnet 43 on both sides of the first coil 33 in the left-right direction, the first lens holding member 31 is stably in the optical axis direction with two magnets. It can be driven in the vertical direction. The same applies to the second drive unit 30B.
 また、本実施形態によれば、磁性体製のカバー20が設けられ、カバー20の内側面に第1磁石41が固定されている。そのため、カバー20が第1磁石41に対してヨークとして機能し、第1磁石41よって生じる磁気回路の磁束密度を大きくできる。これにより、第1コイル33の第1磁石41側に生じるローレンツ力を大きくすることができ、第1駆動部30Aによって第1レンズ保持部材31に加えられる駆動力を大きくできる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the magnetic cover 20 is provided, and the first magnet 41 is fixed to the inner surface of the cover 20. Therefore, the cover 20 functions as a yoke with respect to the first magnet 41, and the magnetic flux density of the magnetic circuit generated by the first magnet 41 can be increased. Accordingly, the Lorentz force generated on the first magnet 41 side of the first coil 33 can be increased, and the driving force applied to the first lens holding member 31 by the first driving unit 30A can be increased.
 一方、兼用磁石43の左右方向の寸法は、第1磁石41の左右方向の寸法よりも大きい。そのため、兼用磁石43から放出される磁束の量は、第1磁石41から放出される磁束の量よりも多い。これにより、兼用磁石43によって生じる磁気回路の磁束密度を大きくすることができ、第1コイル33の兼用磁石43側に生じるローレンツ力を大きくすることができる。したがって、第1コイル33の第1磁石41側と第1コイル33の兼用磁石43側とで、発生するローレンツ力のバランスを取ることができ、第1レンズ保持部材31に安定して上下方向の駆動力を加えることができる。以上のように、本実施形態によれば、第1コイル33に生じるローレンツ力を左右方向のバランスよく大きくすることができる。これは、第2駆動部30Bについても同様である。 On the other hand, the size of the dual-purpose magnet 43 in the left-right direction is larger than the size of the first magnet 41 in the left-right direction. Therefore, the amount of magnetic flux emitted from the dual-purpose magnet 43 is larger than the amount of magnetic flux emitted from the first magnet 41. Thereby, the magnetic flux density of the magnetic circuit generated by the dual-purpose magnet 43 can be increased, and the Lorentz force generated on the dual-purpose magnet 43 side of the first coil 33 can be increased. Accordingly, the Lorentz force generated can be balanced between the first magnet 41 side of the first coil 33 and the dual magnet 43 side of the first coil 33, and the first lens holding member 31 can be stably moved in the vertical direction. Driving force can be applied. As described above, according to the present embodiment, the Lorentz force generated in the first coil 33 can be increased with a good balance in the left-right direction. The same applies to the second drive unit 30B.
 また、本実施形態によれば、第1コイル33の巻かれる向きと第2コイル34の巻かれる向きとは同じである。そのため、第1コイル33および第2コイル34として、それぞれ同じ種類のコイルを用いることができる。これにより、レンズ駆動装置10に使用される部品の種類数を少なくでき、レンズ駆動装置10の製造コストを低減できる。また、第1コイル33と第2コイル34とを取り違えて組み立てることが防止されるため、レンズ駆動装置10の組み立て効率を向上でき、生産性を向上できる。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the direction in which the first coil 33 is wound and the direction in which the second coil 34 is wound are the same. Therefore, the same type of coil can be used as each of the first coil 33 and the second coil 34. Thereby, the number of types of components used in the lens driving device 10 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the lens driving device 10 can be reduced. Further, since the first coil 33 and the second coil 34 are prevented from being mistakenly assembled, the assembly efficiency of the lens driving device 10 can be improved and the productivity can be improved.
 また、第1コイル33と第2コイル34との巻き回数(ターン数)は、同じであり、第1レンズ保持部材31の形状と第2レンズ保持部材32の形状とも同じである。そのため、コイルが固定された状態のレンズ保持部材の種類を一つとすることができる。 The number of turns (number of turns) of the first coil 33 and the second coil 34 is the same, and the shape of the first lens holding member 31 and the shape of the second lens holding member 32 are the same. Therefore, one type of lens holding member with the coil fixed can be made one.
 また、本実施形態によれば、兼用磁石43は、第1面43aと第2面43bとを有し、前後方向に延びる形状である。そのため、兼用磁石43を簡単な形状とでき、兼用磁石43の製造を容易にできる。これにより、レンズ駆動装置10の製造コストを低減できる。また、兼用磁石43を、第1コイル33と第2コイル34との間の前後方向の全体に亘って配置しやすく、兼用磁石43の磁気回路によって各コイルに生じるローレンツ力を大きくしやすい。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the dual-purpose magnet 43 has a first surface 43a and a second surface 43b, and has a shape extending in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the dual-purpose magnet 43 can have a simple shape, and the dual-purpose magnet 43 can be easily manufactured. Thereby, the manufacturing cost of the lens drive device 10 can be reduced. In addition, the dual-purpose magnet 43 can be easily disposed in the front-rear direction between the first coil 33 and the second coil 34, and the Lorentz force generated in each coil by the magnetic circuit of the dual-purpose magnet 43 can be easily increased.
 また、本実施形態によれば、内壁部23a~23dが第1レンズ保持部材31の突出部35a~35d同士の周方向の間に配置されている。そのため、内壁部23a~23dによって第1レンズ保持部材31が第1中心軸J1周りに回転することを抑制できる。また、内壁部23a~23dが第1コイル33と第1レンズ保持部材31との径方向の間に配置されているため、内壁部23a~23dを第1磁石41および兼用磁石43の内ヨークとして機能させることができるとともに、第1レンズ保持部材31が第1中心軸J1の径方向に動くことを抑制できる。これらは、第2レンズ保持部材32についても同様である。 Further, according to the present embodiment, the inner wall portions 23a to 23d are arranged between the projecting portions 35a to 35d of the first lens holding member 31 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the first lens holding member 31 from rotating around the first central axis J1 by the inner wall portions 23a to 23d. Further, since the inner wall portions 23 a to 23 d are disposed between the first coil 33 and the first lens holding member 31 in the radial direction, the inner wall portions 23 a to 23 d are used as inner yokes of the first magnet 41 and the combined magnet 43. While being able to function, it can suppress that the 1st lens holding member 31 moves to the radial direction of the 1st central axis J1. The same applies to the second lens holding member 32.
 なお、本発明は上述の実施形態に限られず、他の構成を採用することもできる。上述の実施形態と同様の構成については、適宜同一の符号を付すことにより説明を省略する場合がある。 Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and other configurations may be employed. About the structure similar to the above-mentioned embodiment, description may be abbreviate | omitted by attaching | subjecting the same code | symbol suitably.
 レンズ保持部材は、3つ以上設けられていてもよい。この場合、例えば、3つ以上のレンズ保持部材が左右方向に並んで配置され、レンズ保持部材同士の左右方向の間にそれぞれ兼用磁石が配置される構成としてもよい。 Three or more lens holding members may be provided. In this case, for example, three or more lens holding members may be arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and dual-purpose magnets may be arranged between the lens holding members in the left-right direction.
 また、第1コイル33と対向して設けられる磁石および第2コイル34と対向して設けられる磁石は、それぞれ3つ以上であってもよい。この場合、3つ以上の磁石は、第1コイル33の周りおよび第2コイル34の周りに等間隔に設けられる構成としてもよい。また、この場合、3つ以上の磁石において第1コイル33側の磁極は、互いに同じとしてもよい。3つ以上の磁石において第2コイル34側の磁極は、互いに同じとしてもよい。 Also, the number of magnets provided opposite to the first coil 33 and the number of magnets provided opposite to the second coil 34 may be three or more. In this case, three or more magnets may be provided around the first coil 33 and around the second coil 34 at equal intervals. In this case, the magnetic poles on the first coil 33 side in the three or more magnets may be the same. In three or more magnets, the magnetic poles on the second coil 34 side may be the same.
 また、第1コイル33と対向して設けられる磁石および第2コイル34と対向して設けられる磁石は、1つであってもよい。この場合、兼用磁石43が第1駆動部30Aの磁石の全てと第2駆動部30Bの磁石の全てとを兼ね、兼用磁石43によって生じるローレンツ力のみで第1レンズ保持部材31および第2レンズ保持部材32が上下方向に駆動されてもよい。また、第1コイル33と対向して設けられる磁石の数と、第2コイル34と対向して設けられる磁石の数とは、互いに異なっていてもよい。 Also, the number of magnets provided opposite to the first coil 33 and the number of magnets provided opposite to the second coil 34 may be one. In this case, the dual-purpose magnet 43 serves as all of the magnets of the first drive unit 30A and all of the magnets of the second drive unit 30B, and the first lens holding member 31 and the second lens holding unit only by the Lorentz force generated by the dual-purpose magnet 43. The member 32 may be driven in the vertical direction. Further, the number of magnets provided facing the first coil 33 and the number of magnets provided facing the second coil 34 may be different from each other.
 また、第1レンズ保持部材31が駆動される方向および第2レンズ保持部材32が駆動される方向は、特に限定されず、上下方向以外の方向であってもよい。例えば、第1レンズ保持部材31および第2レンズ保持部材32は、前後方向に駆動されてもよい。この場合、各コイルは前後方向と平行な軸周りに巻かれる。また、第1レンズ保持部材31が駆動される方向と、第2レンズ保持部材32が駆動される方向とは、互いに異なっていてもよい。 The direction in which the first lens holding member 31 is driven and the direction in which the second lens holding member 32 is driven are not particularly limited, and may be directions other than the vertical direction. For example, the first lens holding member 31 and the second lens holding member 32 may be driven in the front-rear direction. In this case, each coil is wound around an axis parallel to the front-rear direction. The direction in which the first lens holding member 31 is driven and the direction in which the second lens holding member 32 is driven may be different from each other.
 また、兼用磁石43は、前後方向に沿って複数に分割されていてもよい。この場合、分割された兼用磁石43のうち前後方向に隣り合う磁石は、互いに接触していてもよいし、互いに離れていてもよい。また、兼用磁石43は、左右方向に沿って複数の磁石が貼り合わされて構成されていてもよい。兼用磁石43の形状は、特に限定されず、左右方向の寸法が比較的小さい板状であってもよい。これらは、第1磁石41および第2磁石42についても同様である。 Further, the dual-purpose magnet 43 may be divided into a plurality along the front-rear direction. In this case, the magnets adjacent in the front-rear direction among the divided dual-purpose magnets 43 may be in contact with each other or may be separated from each other. The dual-purpose magnet 43 may be configured by bonding a plurality of magnets along the left-right direction. The shape of the dual-purpose magnet 43 is not particularly limited, and may be a plate shape having a relatively small size in the left-right direction. The same applies to the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42.
 また、第1磁石41の寸法T1と第2磁石42の寸法T2とは、互いに異なってもよい。この場合、例えば、各コイルと各磁石との間の距離を調整して、各レンズ保持部材に加えられるローレンツ力を調整してもよい。また、各磁石の磁力は互いに異なっていてもよい。 Further, the dimension T1 of the first magnet 41 and the dimension T2 of the second magnet 42 may be different from each other. In this case, for example, the distance between each coil and each magnet may be adjusted to adjust the Lorentz force applied to each lens holding member. Moreover, the magnetic force of each magnet may differ from each other.
 また、第1コイル33が巻かれる向きと第2コイル34が巻かれる向きとは、互いに逆向きであってもよい。 Further, the direction in which the first coil 33 is wound and the direction in which the second coil 34 is wound may be opposite to each other.
<第2実施形態>
 図6は、本実施形態のレンズ駆動装置110を示す断面図である。図6に示すレンズ駆動装置110においてカバー120は、非磁性体製である。カバー120は、例えば、非磁性の金属製または樹脂製である。カバー120のその他の構成は、第1実施形態のカバー20の構成と同様である。
Second Embodiment
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the lens driving device 110 of the present embodiment. In the lens driving device 110 shown in FIG. 6, the cover 120 is made of a non-magnetic material. The cover 120 is made of, for example, nonmagnetic metal or resin. The other configuration of the cover 120 is the same as the configuration of the cover 20 of the first embodiment.
 レンズ駆動装置110において兼用磁石143の左右方向の寸法T4は、第1磁石41の左右方向の寸法T1および第2磁石42の左右方向の寸法T2と同じである。また、兼用磁石143のその他の寸法も第1磁石41および第2磁石42と同じである。兼用磁石143は、磁力についても第1磁石41および第2磁石42と同じとなるように着磁されている。兼用磁石143のその他の構成は、第1実施形態の兼用磁石43の構成と同様である。レンズ駆動装置110のその他の構成は、第1実施形態のレンズ駆動装置10の構成と同様である。 In the lens driving device 110, the horizontal dimension T4 of the dual-purpose magnet 143 is the same as the horizontal dimension T1 of the first magnet 41 and the horizontal dimension T2 of the second magnet 42. The other dimensions of the dual-purpose magnet 143 are the same as those of the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42. The dual-purpose magnet 143 is magnetized so that the magnetic force is the same as that of the first magnet 41 and the second magnet 42. Other configurations of the dual-purpose magnet 143 are the same as the configurations of the dual-purpose magnet 43 of the first embodiment. Other configurations of the lens driving device 110 are the same as the configurations of the lens driving device 10 of the first embodiment.
 本実施形態によれば、カバー120が非磁性体製であるため、カバー120がヨークとして機能しない。そのため、第1磁石41によって生じる磁気回路の磁束密度がカバー120によって大きくなることがない。これにより、第1磁石41の寸法T1と兼用磁石143の寸法T4とを同じとすることで、第1コイル33の左右方向両側に生じるローレンツ力のバランスを容易に取ることができる。具体的には、第1磁石41と第1コイル33との左右方向の距離と、兼用磁石43と第1コイル33との左右方向の距離と、を同じとすれば、第1コイル33の左右方向の両側に生じるローレンツ力を同じにできる。これは、第2コイル34についても同様である。 According to this embodiment, since the cover 120 is made of a non-magnetic material, the cover 120 does not function as a yoke. Therefore, the magnetic flux density of the magnetic circuit generated by the first magnet 41 is not increased by the cover 120. Accordingly, by making the dimension T1 of the first magnet 41 and the dimension T4 of the dual-purpose magnet 143 the same, it is possible to easily balance the Lorentz force generated on both sides of the first coil 33 in the left-right direction. Specifically, if the distance in the left-right direction between the first magnet 41 and the first coil 33 and the distance in the left-right direction between the dual-purpose magnet 43 and the first coil 33 are the same, the left and right of the first coil 33 The Lorentz force generated on both sides of the direction can be made the same. The same applies to the second coil 34.
 また、第1磁石41の寸法T1と第2磁石42の寸法T2と兼用磁石143の寸法T4とが同じであるため、各磁石として同じ種類の磁石を用いることができる。これにより、レンズ駆動装置110の部品の種類数を少なくすることができ、レンズ駆動装置110の製造コストを低減できる。また、第1磁石41と第2磁石42と兼用磁石43とを取り違えて組み立てることが防止されるため、レンズ駆動装置110の組み立て効率を向上でき、生産性を向上できる。また、各磁石の管理を容易にできる。 Moreover, since the dimension T1 of the first magnet 41, the dimension T2 of the second magnet 42, and the dimension T4 of the dual-purpose magnet 143 are the same, the same type of magnet can be used as each magnet. Thereby, the number of types of components of the lens driving device 110 can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the lens driving device 110 can be reduced. Further, since the first magnet 41, the second magnet 42, and the dual-purpose magnet 43 are prevented from being mistakenly assembled, the assembling efficiency of the lens driving device 110 can be improved and the productivity can be improved. Moreover, management of each magnet can be facilitated.
 なお、上記説明した各構成は、相互に矛盾しない範囲内において、適宜組み合わせることができる。 Note that the above-described configurations can be combined as appropriate within a range that does not contradict each other.
