The utility model discloses a lens
assembly, a lens and an image
pickup device. The lens
assembly comprises a skeleton, a focusing group and a driving mechanism. The focusing group comprises a lens group frame, and a focusing lens and an elastic clamping piece which are arranged on the lens group frame; the lens group frame is arranged in the skeleton in a sliding manner along the axial direction of the optical
system; the driving mechanism comprises an installation support, a piezoelectric
actuator and a friction rod, the piezoelectric
actuator and the friction rod are arranged on the installation support, the installation support is arranged on the side wall of the framework, the piezoelectric
actuator and the friction rod are adhered in the axial direction of the optical
system, and the friction rod is clamped on the elastic clamping piece. According to the technical scheme, the piezoelectric actuator is adopted as a power source, the focusing set is driven to move in the framework in the axial direction of the optical
system based on the piezoelectric stick-slip driving principle to achieve the focusing purpose, the design size of the driving mechanism can be effectively reduced, the size of the lens is further reduced, and the focusing speed of the lens is increased.
