Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, the work of fixing each of the very thin shape memory alloy wires to the base member by screwing or the like is very cumbersome, resulting in a problem of poor work efficiency.
[0008] In addition, since the shape memory alloy wire is repeatedly deformed, the stress during the deformation tends to concentrate on the part fixed by a screw or the like, and there is a possibility of breaking the wire.

Embodiment Construction

[0046] Next, based on Figure 1 to Figure 10 The illustrated exemplary embodiment illustrates the implementation of the drive device according to the invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a driving device, and reference numeral A designates a printed circuit board on which the driving device 1 is mounted.

[0047] The driving device 1 is provided with: linear shape memory alloy members 2, 2 . The movable member 5 that relatively moves relative to the base member 4 in conjunction with the contraction caused by energization and heat generation; and the biasing force that applies force to the movable member 5 in a direction that makes the shape memory alloy members 2, 2, ... become the shape of the non-energized state unit.

[0048] In addition, this driving device 1 includes terminal fittings 6, 6 that are fitted into the fixing portion 3, and the bottom surface of the terminal fitting 6 is connected to the connection pattern Aa of the printed circuit board A b...

Abstract

The invention provides a driving device that enables easy installation and excellent manufacture efficiency of shape memory alloy parts, and a method of manufacturing the same. The driving device comprises shape memory alloy parts (2, 2...), a base body part (4) having fixing portions (3, 3), a movable part (5) that moves relative to the base body part in a way that the shape memory alloy parts contract because power is on , a force applying unit for applying force to the movable part in a direction when the shape memory alloy parts are in a shape under a power-off state, and a terminal fitting (6) that has press plates (20, 21) covering all sides of the fixing portions and is embedded with the fixing portions. An end basic side (2a) of each shape memory alloy part is configured along the surface of each fixing portion, and an end front side (2b) of each shape memory alloy part is configured along the back side of each fixing portion from an end surface portion (14) to a back side of each fixing portion in a returning manner. The end basic side and the end front side are clamped between the fixing portions and the press plates.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a driving device using a shape memory alloy and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the past, the following driving devices have been widely used in lens driving actuators of cameras, etc., which utilize the characteristics of shape memory alloys, that is, even if they are deformed by force, they will shrink when they are heated above a certain temperature (operating temperature) by energization. characteristics to drive (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] The drive device includes an insulating base member and a movable member facing the base member, and a plurality of shape-memory alloy wires that contract due to heat generated during energization are arranged in parallel between the opposing surfaces. When energized, the movable member is urged toward the base member by the force applying unit, and the shape memory alloy wire is pressed against the movable member to be be...
