When the inner connecting part 10 is fixed to the carrier 2, the rivet post 25 is inserted into the rivet hole 22 and fixed by hot riveting, and the gluing hole 23 is fixed by spot gluing, so as to fix the inner connecting part 10 to the upper end surface of the carrier 2.

[0032] In order to facilitate the connection between the end wire of the coil 6 and the upper spring section 3-1, two winding grooves 26 corresponding to the two inner connecting parts 10 are provided on the upper end surface of the carrier 2, and the two winding grooves 26 are respectively provided for the end wires of the coil 6 to pass through; each inner connecting part 10 is integrally formed with a winding part 27, which is located directly above the winding groove 26, and the winding part 27 is located at the end position of the inner connecting part 10, and the winding parts 27 of the two inner connecting parts 10 are arranged opposite to each other. In addition, a fixing groove 28 for the end wire of the coil 6 to be wound is provided on the side wall of the winding part 27, and the fixing groove 28 is arranged in a U shape, and the opening of the fixing groove 28 is parallel to the length direction of the winding groove 26, and the fixing groove 28 is located in the winding part 27 toward the center direction of the carrier 2. When the two ends of the coil 6 are respectively connected to the corresponding inner upper spring division 3-1, the end thread of the coil 6 is first inserted into the winding groove 26, and the end thread of the coil 6 is facing the direction of the lens 7. Then, the end thread of the coil 6 is folded back and rewound on the winding part 27, and the end thread is inserted into the position of the fixing groove 28, and the position of the end thread of the coil 6 relative to the winding part 27 is effectively positioned.
