Both of these dual-degree-of-freedom voice coil motors have a flat-plate voice coil motor structure, which has serious magnetic leakage. In addition, the dual-stator voice coil motor uses multiple mechanical structures to connect the two degrees of freedom, and the output shaft is long, which is prone to large errors. When the two moving coils of the single-stator flat-plate voice coil motor are close to each other, they will interact with each other, affecting stability. Summary of the invention

The linear bracket is a cylindrical structure with a closed top and its bottom is coaxially inserted between the inner wall of the outer cylindrical section of the integral magnetic yoke and the linear part permanent magnet group. Two linear motion coils connected in parallel up and down are arranged around the outer wall of the linear bracket. The deflection bracket is a cylindrical structure with arc-shaped support arms on both sides, which is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the central cylindrical section of the integral magnetic yoke. The arc-shaped support arms on both sides of the deflection bracket pass through and are smaller than the corresponding motion grooves for deflection movement. The deflection bracket is provided with a deflection motion coil around the outer wall.

[0021] Combination Figure 1As shown, the linear support 4 is a cylindrical structure with a closed top and its bottom is coaxially inserted between the inner wall of the outer cylindrical section of the integral magnetic yoke 1 and the permanent magnet group of the linear part. The outer wall of the linear support 4 is ringed with two linear motion coils 41 connected in parallel up and down. The deflection support 5 is a cylindrical structure with arc-shaped arms on both sides, which is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the central cylindrical section of the integral magnetic yoke 1. The arc-shaped arms on both sides of the deflection support 5 pass through and are smaller than the corresponding motion slots 15 for deflection movement.

[0022] The yoke part is made of high magnetic conductivity material, including the integral yoke 1 and the top yoke 16, and the linear bracket 4, the deflection bracket 5, the output shaft 6 and the fastening nut are all made of non-magnetic conductive material.

[0024] When the coil of the cylindrical dual-degree-of-freedom voice coil motor structure is energized, the linear motion coil 41 is subjected to a force in the same direction, causing the output shaft 6 to output a linear motion, while the inner deflection motion coil 51 can change the output angle of the output shaft 6 to achieve dual degrees of freedom. The specific motion form is as follows:

[0025] When a clockwise current is passed through the deflection motion coil 51, the left side is acted on by the Lorentz force and moves outward perpendicular to the paper surface, while the right side is acted on by the Lorentz force and moves inward perpendicular to the paper surface;

[0026] When a counterclockwise current is passed through the deflection motion coil 51, the left side is acted on by the Lorentz force and moves inward perpendicular to the paper surface, while the right side is acted on by the Lorentz force and moves outward perpendicular to the paper surface;

[0027] When the current of the lower linear motion coil 41 enters from the left side and flows out from the right side, the current of the upper linear motion coil 41 enters from the right side and flows out from the left side, at this time, the linear support 4 moves upward as a whole under the action of the Lorentz force;

[0028] When the current of the lower linear motion coil 41 enters from the right and flows out from the left, the current of the upper linear motion coil 41 enters from the left and flows out from the right. At this time, the linear support 4 moves downward as a whole under the action of the Lorentz force.
