Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of driving mechanisms, and in particular to a lens driving device. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of science and technology, the application of camera modules is becoming more and more extensive. At present, in addition to cameras, mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices are equipped with camera modules to facilitate people to take pictures anytime and anywhere, bringing convenience and fun to people's lives. Camera modules include fixed focal length (FF) camera modules and auto focus (AF) camera modules. In the auto focus (AF) camera module, the lens can be driven to move by a lens drive device (motor) to achieve focus. When taking pictures or videos, the lens cannot remain absolutely stable due to human shaking or other reasons, resulting in a certain offset. At this time, the focus and light intake of the camera will be affected, thereby affecting the quality of the image obtained by the camera. Generally, this lens deflection occurs in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and the auto focus motor can only drive the lens to move in the direction of the optical axis, so it cannot solve the problem caused by this type of lens deflection. To this end, an optical anti-shake actuator is added to the auto focus motor to drive the lens to move in two directions perpendicular to the optical axis, which can compensate for the above-mentioned deflection of the lens and help the camera obtain better image quality. A common optical image stabilization actuator is a miniature voice coil motor, which generates Lorentz magnetic force in a magnetic field by an energized coil to drive the lens to move. To achieve optical image stabilization, the lens needs to be driven in at least two directions, which means that multiple coils need to be arranged, which brings certain challenges to the miniaturization of the overall structure. In addition, the miniature voice coil motor not only has a complex structure and a large size, but also has a small optical image stabilization stroke, which is difficult to meet the needs and reduces the effectiveness of the image stabilization.

[0024] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention.
[0025] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer" and the like indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are only for the convenience of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1The figure shows a schematic diagram of an SMA actuator proposed by the present invention, which has a driving rod 1 and an SMA wire 2.

One end of the SMA wire 2 is connected to the driving end 12 of the driving rod 1, and the other end of the SMA wire 2 is fixedly arranged. The SMA wire 2 provides an actuating force to drive the driving end 12 of the driving rod 1 to deflect relative to the fixed end, thereby obtaining an actuating force to achieve the movement of the corresponding components. The actuating function is obtained by utilizing the characteristic of the SMA (Shape Memory Alloys) wire that shrinks when heated. The actuator has a small size, is easy to control, has fewer transmission components, and effectively simplifies the driving structure, thereby meeting the requirements of product miniaturization.
[0027] See also Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the SMA wire 2 is located on one side of the driving rod 1, and the axial direction of the SMA wire 2 forms an angle with the extending direction of the driving end 12, which is an acute angle, so that the SMA wire 2 drives the driving end 12 of the driving rod 1 to deflect toward the side where the SMA wire 2 is located.

The product structure is lightweight and miniaturized, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. When working, the corresponding SMA actuator can be controlled according to the needs, and the control is simple and accurate, which is suitable for popularization and utilization.

The above structural arrangement helps to improve the accuracy and stability of actuation, and is convenient for assembly and power-on control. The SMA wires 2 of the first group of SMA actuators, the second group of SMA actuators, the third group of SMA actuators, the fourth group of SMA actuators, the fifth group of SMA actuators and the sixth group of SMA actuators are all located on the corresponding side of the driving rod 1 facing the lens carrier 3, and the axial direction of the SMA wire 2 forms an angle with the extension direction of the driving end 12, which is an acute angle, so that the SMA wire 2 drives the driving end 12 of the driving rod 1 to deflect toward the side where the SMA wire 2 is located, so that the driving end 12 of the driving rod 1 drives the lens carrier 3 to move. This structure is convenient for the assembly of the driving rod 1, and the driving rod 1 effectively protects the inner SMA wire 2, and the product structure is simplified and small in size.
