Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of microelectronic products, and particularly to a motor for optical image stabilization and a forming method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing demand of consumers for mobile phone photography, the functions of mobile phone camera modules are becoming more and more diverse. Functions such as portrait photography, telephoto shooting, optical zoom, and optical image stabilization are integrated into a camera module with limited volume. Among them, functions such as autofocus, optical image stabilization, and optical zoom often rely on optical actuators (also known as motors) to achieve. As a structurally compact electronic product, a mobile phone camera module needs to be equipped with a micro motor. For the small size requirement of the motor, in the prior art, most mobile phone camera modules connect the fixed seat and the moving carrier in the motor by setting several groups of bent elastic sheets. During focusing or image stabilization, the elastic sheets (which can also be called reed sheets) support the moving carrier and can restore the moving carrier after focusing or image stabilization.

[0003] There are many problems with the existing elastic sheets. On the one hand, the rigidity at the bent part of the elastic sheet is large. After the bending process of multiple elastic sheets, it is difficult to ensure the consistency of each individual. The poor consistency of the elastic sheets will affect the driving accuracy of each individual motor, thus affecting the product performance of the camera module. On the other hand, if the elastic sheet is used as a supporting element for optical image stabilization, if there are cracks caused by the bent part or different angles of the elastic sheet after bending in multiple directions of image stabilization, resulting in different elastic coefficients in each direction, it may cause too large a difference in the elastic recovery coefficients in each direction of the elastic sheet, so that the driving force for optical image stabilization needs to be specifically calibrated for each motor.

[0004] In the prior art, the actual optical image stabilization stroke of the motor will also be reduced due to compensating for manufacturing errors. For example, due to different bending angles of the elastic sheets and different elastic coefficients of each individual elastic sheet, the deformable stroke of the elastic sheets will also be different, which will result in different mechanical strokes and different initial positions (the initial position is the original position or the central position of the camera module) between individual motors. This will cause the effective image stabilization stroke of the motor to be different. Even if targeted compensation programming is performed on motors of the same batch, different individual differences will still occur, and there will always be a situation where an individual motor cannot be compensated and calibrated due to excessive manufacturing errors, which may lead to poor motor stroke.

[0005] In summary, the current design of the motor needs to take manufacturing differences into account. Due to manufacturing errors, a motor with a mechanical stroke much larger than the anti-shake stroke will be designed according to the anti-shake stroke (the mechanical stroke is the movable stroke of the motor, and the initial position of the motor also needs to be considered). This determines that the size of the shrapnel of the motor can only be designed larger to make up for the manufacturing errors. Designing the shrapnel size larger will also cause the sizes of other components of the motor to become larger, ultimately resulting in an increase in the overall size of the motor. In the existing motor, the design method of expanding the size of the motor to compensate for the inaccurate shrapnel will lead to redundant motor structures. Therefore, a new motor structure is needed now, especially a technical solution to improve the consistency performance of the motor shrapnel, so as to solve at least one of the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides a motor, including a base; a lens support body, the lens support body having a light passing axis; an anti-shake drive assembly, the anti-shake drive assembly further including an anti-shake frame, the lens support body being disposed within the anti-shake frame; an elastic assembly, the elastic assembly being disposed on the anti-shake frame, a suspension assembly being disposed within the elastic assembly, the suspension assembly being adapted to elastically support and limit both sides of the lens support body in the direction of the light passing axis, at least a part of the suspension assembly being adapted to extend in the direction of the light passing axis and elastically support and limit the lens support body in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the light passing axis, the suspension assembly being adapted to enable the lens support body to perform a resilient and resetable movement relative to the base. By increasing the thickness of the elastic assembly in the direction of the light passing axis to provide an elastic force, it is not necessary to expand the size of the shrapnel, thereby providing a motor with a smaller size but still a larger elastic force.

[0007] To address the above problems, the present application further provides a motor for optical image stabilization, including a housing, a base, the housing covering the base and forming an accommodation space therewith, a lens support body, the lens support body having a light passing axis, a focusing drive assembly, the focusing drive assembly being used to drive the lens support body to move along the direction of the light passing axis, an anti-shake drive assembly, the anti-shake drive assembly further including an anti-shake frame, the lens support body being elastically supported and disposed within the anti-shake frame along the direction of the light passing axis, an elastic assembly, the elastic assembly being disposed between the lens support body and the anti-shake frame, the elastic assembly also being disposed between the anti-shake frame and the base, at least a part of the elastic assembly being made of silicon and metal materials, and the elastic coefficients of the elastic assembly in two directions of optical image stabilization differing by within 2 times, thereby providing a silicon-metal shrapnel motor with similar elastic coefficients in all directions to reduce the movement tilt of the motor.

[0024] Attached Figures 1-7 shows a motor for optical image stabilization of the present application. Attached Figure 1Schematically shows a motor according to an embodiment of the present application. The motor 1 for optical image stabilization includes a housing 60 and a base 50. The housing 60 covers the base 50 and forms an accommodation space with the housing 60. A lens support 40 has an optical axis 401. A focusing drive assembly 20 has a part disposed on the lens support 40. The focusing drive assembly 20 is configured to drive the lens support 40 to move along the direction of the optical axis 401. An anti-shake drive assembly 30 has a part disposed on the base 50. The anti-shake drive assembly 30 further includes an anti-shake frame 303. The lens support 40 is disposed in the anti-shake frame 303 in a manner of elastic support along the direction of the optical axis 401. The anti-shake frame 303 is disposed on the base 50 in a manner of elastic support in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis 401. The anti-shake frame 303 can move freely in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis 401 to achieve image stabilization. The technical solution is to obtain a motor that realizes optical image stabilization. In addition, the motor can also realize focusing. With the user's pursuit of the camera function, a motor that combines focusing and optical anti-shake functions will give users a better experience.

[0025] Still referring to the attached Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the motor 1 further includes an elastic component 10. The elastic component 10 is disposed between the lens support 40 and the anti-shake frame 303, and is also disposed between the anti-shake frame 303 and the base 50. At least part of the elastic component 10 is made of silicon and metal materials. The elastic coefficients of the elastic component 10 in two directions of optical image stabilization differ by within 2 times. In this embodiment, the elastic component 10 made of silicon and metal materials can be integrally formed by a semiconductor-level forming process with relatively high forming accuracy. In the prior art, the rigidness at the bent part of the elastic sheet is large, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the bent angles of multiple elastic sheets. It may occur that the bent angles of some elastic sheets are 89°, 90°, 91°. These differences in bent angles may lead to poor consistency of the elastic sheets, thereby affecting the driving accuracy of the motor and the product performance of the camera module. On the other hand, if the elastic sheet is used as a supporting element in the direction of optical anti-shake (generally, anti-shake in the X-Y plane in the industry), if there are cracks at the bent part or different bent angles in multiple directions of anti-shake, it may cause too large differences in the elastic recovery coefficients of each direction of the elastic sheet, resulting in poor optical anti-shake effect. For example, if the elastic coefficient in the X direction is larger than that in the Y direction due to the bent angle, it may cause a deviation in the driving stroke when the rated driving force (the acting force of the coil magnet) of the motor drives the motor to move.

[0026] More importantly, in the present application, the elastic component 10 is disposed between the lens support 40 and the anti-shake frame 303, and the elastic component 10 is also disposed between the anti-shake frame 303 and the base 50. At least a part of the elastic component 10 expands in thickness along the direction of the optical axis 401, and at least a part of the elastic component 10 extends the structure on a plane perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis 401. Refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that there is an elastic part of the elastic component 10 located on the outside along the direction of the optical axis 401. The outer elastic part is used to provide an elastic supporting force in the direction of the plane perpendicular to the optical axis 401. Those skilled in the art should know that in the prior art, most metal shrapnel are formed by chemical etching of metal sheets. Therefore, in the prior art, metal shrapnel are all in the shape of thin sheets, and it is very difficult to expand in the thickness direction in the direction of elastic support or perpendicular to the direction of elastic support. In the present application, a forming method different from stamping of metal sheets is adopted, which can realize that the elastic component 10 expands in thickness along the direction of the optical axis 401, so as to provide a greater elastic supporting force. Still refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, the outer elastic part extends the structure on a plane perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis 401. Referring to the figure shown, the structure of the outer elastic part extends from the middle of one side to the middle of the adjacent side and turns at the corner. This extended structure provides the elastic supporting force of the elastic component in the direction of the plane perpendicular to the optical axis 401. That is to say, in the present application, the elastic component 10 adopts a forming method different from stamping of metal sheets in the prior art, and can realize that while the elastic component 10 extends the structure, it maintains a certain thickness along the direction of the optical axis 401, realizing a small-sized elastic component 10 but having a large elastic restoring force.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that, refer to the attached Figure 3 As shown, the elastic component 10 includes elastic part arranged in parallel. In the attached Figure 3 figure, the outer elastic part includes 3 elastic parts arranged in parallel. Those skilled in the art should know that in the prior art, most metal shrapnel are formed by chemical etching or stamping of metal sheets, which limits the shape of the shrapnel. The requirements of the chemical etching process are that the thickness of the shrapnel cannot be too large in the plane where the structure of the shrapnel extends. The prior art also limits the arrangement direction of the elastic part to a single tree-branch shape. The shrapnel component 10 in the present application can include elastic part arranged in parallel, so as to further ensure that a large elastic force is provided in the case of small-sized elastic parts.

[0028] Refer to the attached Figure 3As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the elastic component 10 further includes a first frame 103, a second frame 102, and a suspension component 101. The first frame 103 is disposed around the outside of the second frame 102. The suspension component 101 is disposed between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102. The suspension component 101, the first frame 103, and the second frame 102 are formed together in an integrally molded manner. The suspension component 101 is formed of silicon and a metal material. By adjusting the relative content of the silicon and the metal material in the suspension component 101, the elastic coefficient of the suspension component 101 can be adjusted. By adjusting the ratio of this silicon and metal material, it is possible to adjust the ratio of the material with high rigidity and the material with low rigidity to obtain the suspension component 101 with different elastic coefficients, so as to meet different design requirements. It is worth mentioning that the thickness of the suspension component 101 is enlarged along the direction of the optical axis 401. The suspension component 101 extends the structure in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the optical axis 401. The suspension component 101 includes an elastic member portion arranged in parallel. Thus, the suspension component 101 can achieve a design with a small size but a large elastic coefficient, so as to reduce the size of the elastic structure in the motor and improve the individual consistency of the elastic members at the same time.

[0029] Refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the suspension component 101 further includes a first-direction elastic structure 1011 and a second-direction elastic structure 1012. Among them, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 have different elastic recovery directions respectively. The elastic recovery directions of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are perpendicular to the optical axis 401. The difference between the first-direction elastic recovery coefficient of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second elastic recovery coefficient of the second-direction elastic structure 1012 is within 0.8 - 1.2 times. The first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are integrally molded. Both the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are formed of silicon and a metal material. By using the semiconductor-level molding process to mold with this silicon and metal material, the accuracy of the elastic coefficients in all directions can be improved. Thus, under the condition of the same-sized motor, because the manufacturing error is reduced, relatively speaking, the mechanical stroke that the motor needs to compensate is reduced, and the driving stroke of the motor can be relatively larger.

[0030] In the prior art, the actual optical image stabilization (OIS) travel of a motor may also be reduced due to compensating for manufacturing errors. For example, due to different bending angles of the shrapnel, different elastic coefficients of individual shrapnel, and different deformable travels of the shrapnel, the mechanical travels between individual motors and the initial positions between individual motors will be different (the initial position is the in-situ position or the so-called central position of the camera module), which results in different effective OIS travels of the motors. Even if targeted compensation programming is performed on motors of the same batch, different individual differences will still occur, and there will always be cases where individual motors cannot be compensated and calibrated due to excessive manufacturing errors.

[0031] The current design of the motor needs to consider manufacturing differences, that is, due to manufacturing errors, a motor with a mechanical travel much larger than the OIS travel will be designed according to the OIS travel (the mechanical travel is the movable travel of the motor, and the initial position of the motor also needs to be considered). This determines that the size of the shrapnel of the motor can only be designed to be larger to compensate for manufacturing errors. Designing the shrapnel size to be larger will also cause the sizes of other components of the motor to be larger, ultimately resulting in an increase in the overall size of the motor. The existing design method of expanding the size of the motor due to inaccurate shrapnel requires a new shrapnel structure to solve. The method of forming this silicon and metal material using semiconductor-level forming processes in this embodiment can improve the accuracy of the elastic coefficient in all directions, so that under the same OIS travel specifications, this embodiment can provide a more compact design to reduce the size of the motor.

[0032] Still referring to the appendix Figure 1As shown, the anti-shake drive assembly 30 further includes an anti-shake coil 301 and an anti-shake magnet 302. The anti-shake coil 301 is disposed on the base 50, and the anti-shake magnet 302 is disposed on the anti-shake frame 303. The anti-shake frame 303 is in a frame shape. The number of both the anti-shake magnet 302 and the anti-shake coil 301 is four. Each anti-shake magnet 302 is disposed opposite to each anti-shake coil 301 in the direction of the optical axis 401. The focusing drive assembly 20 further includes a focusing coil 201 and a focusing magnet 202. Among them, the focusing coil 201 and the focusing magnet 202 are disposed opposite to each other in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis 401. The focusing coil 201 is disposed around the lens support 40, and the focusing magnet 202 is disposed on the anti-shake frame 303. The focusing magnet 202 and the anti-shake magnet 302 are at least partially the same. In this embodiment, the anti-shake coil 301 and the anti-shake magnet 302 can interact with each other to generate an anti-shake driving force. The anti-shake coil 301 is disposed on the base 50. The number of the anti-shake coils 301 can be four. The four anti-shake coils 301 are disposed on the four sides of the base 50 to achieve driving in at least two directions and realize image anti-shake. Those skilled in the art should know that the four anti-shake coils 301 can also be first installed on a circuit board and then installed on the base 50. However, in this embodiment, the base 50 can have an internal circuit, and finally the conductive terminal 70 is externally disposed on an outer end of the base 50, so that the motor in this embodiment can be electrically connected to the circuit in an external manner, facilitating the conductive process of the motor.

[0033] More specifically, in this embodiment, still referring to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the anti-shake magnet 302 is disposed on the anti-shake frame 303. The anti-shake frame 303 is generally in a frame shape. The number of the anti-shake magnets 302 is also four. Each anti-shake magnet 302 is disposed opposite to each anti-shake coil 301 in the direction of the optical axis 401. Under the control of the anti-shake magnet 302, the anti-shake coil 301 can generate a Lorentz force to drive the anti-shake frame 303 to move. After the anti-shake coil 301 is energized, it is affected by the Ampere force in the magnetic field and moves relative to the anti-shake magnet 302. In this embodiment, the anti-shake coil 301 is fixedly disposed on the base 50, and the anti-shake magnet 302 is installed on the anti-shake frame 303. Therefore, the anti-shake magnet 302 can drive the anti-shake frame 303 to move. Since the relative movement relationship between the lens support 40 and the anti-shake frame 303 in this embodiment is that it can move along the direction of the optical axis 401, and in the plane direction perpendicular to the optical axis 401, the lens support 40 and the anti-shake frame 303 cannot move. Therefore, the anti-shake frame 303 can also drive the lens support 40 to perform anti-shake movement in the plane direction perpendicular to the optical axis 401.

[0034] Referring to the attachedFigure 2 , attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the suspension assembly 101 further includes a third-direction elastic structure 1013. The third-direction elastic structure 1013 has an elastic recovery direction along the optical axis 401 direction. The upper end surface of the lens support 40 is mounted on the upper side of the anti-shake frame 303 through the third-direction elastic structure 1013, and the lower end surface of the lens support 40 is also mounted on the lower side of the anti-shake frame 303 through the third-direction elastic structure 1013. In this embodiment, the third-direction elastic structure 1013 has a degree of freedom along the optical axis 401 direction, that is, the third-direction elastic structure 1013 can be deformed along the optical axis 401 direction. In this embodiment, the upper end surface of the lens support 40 is mounted on the upper side of the anti-shake frame 303 through the third-direction elastic structure 1013, and the lower end surface of the lens support 40 is also mounted on the lower side of the anti-shake frame 303 through the third-direction elastic structure 1013. The lens support 40 can be supported in the anti-shake frame 303 in a manner of being supported at both the upper and lower ends by the third-direction elastic structure 1013. In this embodiment, through the balance design of adapting the gravity of the lens support 40 and the lens and the elastic force of the third-direction elastic structure 1013, the lens support 40 can start the focusing process in a "centered" state in the initial position state, thereby being able to accelerate the focusing time.

[0035] Attached Figure 4 Schematically shows an implementation manner of a suspension assembly 101 of the present application, wherein the third-direction elastic structure 1013 includes a first focusing elastic piece 10131, a second focusing elastic piece 10132, an inner clamping portion 10133, and an outer clamping portion 10134. The inner side of the second frame 102 surrounds a rectangle. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 are rotationally symmetric with respect to the center of the rectangle surrounded by the inner side of the second frame 102. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 are clamped on the second frame 102 through the outer clamping portion 10134. A part of the circuit of the focusing coil 201 is conducted by the first focusing elastic piece 10131, and another part of the circuit of the focusing coil 201 is conducted by the second focusing elastic piece 10132. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 are clamped on the lens support 40 through the inner clamping portion 10133. The circuit formed by the first focusing elastic piece 10131 is extended by the second frame 102, and the circuit formed by the second focusing elastic piece 10132 is extended by the second frame 102.

[0036] Refer to attached Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the structure of the first focusing elastic piece 10131 is rotationally symmetric with that of the second focusing elastic piece 10132. The inner edge of the second frame 102 surrounds a rectangle. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 are rotationally symmetric about the center of the rectangle surrounded by the inner edge of the second frame 102. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 includes an inner clamping portion 10133 and an outer clamping portion 10134. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 is clamped on the second frame 102 through the inner clamping portion 10133. In this application, the second frame 102 is made by semiconductor process. Therefore, the second frame 102 uses a material that is easy to etch, engrave or eliminate, and can realize changing the material into various shapes. Due to the easy forming of this material, a complex integrated elastic piece structure can be formed. In addition, since the second frame 102 is formed by a semiconductor-level forming process, the formed accuracy is relatively high, which can make the assembly accuracy of the first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 relatively high, thereby improving the movement parallelism of the motor.

[0037] Refer to the attached Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the first focusing elastic piece 10131 is mounted on the lens support 40 through the inner clamping portion 10133. The second focusing elastic piece 10132 is also mounted on the lens support 40 through the inner clamping portion 10133. The first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 are symmetrically arranged with each other, so that the lens support 40 can be supported in a symmetric manner, and thus the lens support 40 can be relatively balancedly supported in the direction of the optical axis 401.

[0038] Refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic piece needs to directly support the lens support 40. With the development of the technology of the current camera module, the size of the photosensitive chip is getting larger and larger. Correspondingly, the size of the lens is also getting larger and larger. When the lens becomes larger, the weight of the lens also becomes heavier. Therefore, in this embodiment, the higher the stiffness requirement of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is. If it is still made of semiconductor material, it may cause the elastic force of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 not to meet the requirements. When the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is made of a copper sheet in this embodiment, the stiffness of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 can be improved, and at the same time, it can also have a relatively long service life. In this embodiment, due to the relatively high forming accuracy of the second frame 102, the accuracy of the elastic component 10 can be guaranteed.

[0039] Refer to the attached Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the suspension assembly 101 further includes a turning portion 1014 disposed between the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012. The rigidity of the turning portion 1014 is greater than that of the first-direction elastic structure 1011, and the rigidity of the turning portion 1014 is also greater than that of the second-direction elastic structure 1012. In this embodiment, due to the relatively large rigidity of the turning portion 1014, it can resist relatively large deformations, and at the same time, it can also constrain the deformation direction of the suspension assembly 101, thereby improving the strength of the suspension assembly 101 and ensuring the reliability of the suspension assembly 101.

[0040] Refer to the attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a first-direction constraint deformation section 10111 and a first-direction elastic deformation section 10112 are provided on the first-direction elastic structure 1011. The first-direction constraint deformation section 10111 and the first-direction elastic deformation section 10112 extend integrally. A second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 and a second-direction elastic deformation section 10122 are provided on the second-direction elastic structure 1012. The second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 and the second-direction elastic deformation section 10122 extend integrally. The rigidity of the first-direction constraint deformation section 10111 is greater than that of the first-direction elastic deformation section 10112, and the rigidity of the second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 is greater than that of the second-direction elastic deformation section 10122. In this embodiment, by setting the constraint deformation section as the part with relatively large rigidity to constrain the deformation direction of the first-direction elastic structure 1011, the part with relatively large rigidity is set, so that the first-direction elastic structure 1011 can deform in the constrained direction and is not likely to cause contact and collision fragmentation with other structural surfaces due to random deformation. Relatively, by setting the second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 with relatively large rigidity, the second-direction elastic structure 1012 can deform in the constrained direction and is not likely to cause contact and collision fragmentation with other structural surfaces due to random deformation.

[0041] Refer to the attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the thickness of the first-direction constraint deformation section 10111 is thicker than that of the first-direction elastic deformation section 10112, and the thickness of the second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 is thicker than that of the second-direction elastic deformation section 10122. Since the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are formed by a semiconductor-level forming process, it is more convenient to provide rigidity by forming a relatively thick part in the integral forming structure.

[0042] Refer to the attached Figure 5As shown, it is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the first-direction constraint deformation section 10111 is arranged in the middle of the first-direction elastic structure 1011, enabling the first-direction elastic deformation sections 10112 to be respectively arranged on both sides of the first-direction constraint deformation section 10111. The first-direction constraint deformation section 10111 can achieve that the rigid binding force can exactly constrain the middle section of the first-direction elastic structure 1011, so as to reduce the excessive moment generated by the relatively rigid part of the first-direction elastic deformation section 10112, which may cause the first-direction elastic structure 1011 to collide and break due to random deformation and contact with other structural surfaces.

[0043] Refer to the attached Figure 5 As shown, correspondingly, in this embodiment, the second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 is arranged in the middle of the second-direction elastic structure, enabling the second-direction elastic deformation sections 10122 to be respectively arranged on both sides of the second-direction constraint deformation section 10121. The second-direction constraint deformation section 10121 can achieve that the rigid binding force can exactly constrain the middle section of the second-direction elastic structure 1012, so as to reduce the excessive moment generated by the relatively rigid part of the second-direction elastic deformation section 10122, which may cause the second-direction elastic structure 1012 to collide and break due to random deformation and contact with other structural surfaces.

[0044] Refer to the attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 is composed of a laminated structure of three groups of first-direction constraint deformation sections 10111 and first-direction elastic deformation sections 10112 along the direction of the optical axis 401. The second-direction elastic structure 1012 is composed of a laminated structure of three groups of second-direction constraint deformation sections 10121 and second-direction elastic deformation sections 10122 along the direction of the optical axis 401. By adjusting the distance between the two groups, the elastic coefficient of the suspension assembly 101 can be adjusted. Those skilled in the art should know that the more the number of the first-direction constraint deformation sections 10111 and the first-direction elastic deformation sections 10112 groups set, the greater the rigidity. The scheme of using three groups in this embodiment is designed and can meet the elastic coefficient requirements of the motor. Of course, according to the elastic coefficient requirements, one group, two groups or other numbers can also be configured.

[0045] In this embodiment, specifically, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 is composed of three silicon steel sheets, and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 is also composed of three silicon steel sheets. The silicon steel sheet is composed of silicon material and steel material. In the structure formed by this silicon and steel, since the mixing scheme of silicon material and steel material can provide stronger rigidity and better reliability effect, it can meet the elastic coefficient requirements of the motor. Of course, according to the elastic coefficient requirements, the combination of silicon material and copper material, silicon material and aluminum material, or silicon material and silver material can also be used.

[0046] In this embodiment, the focusing coil 201 and the diagonal magnet are arranged opposite to each other along the optical axis direction. The focusing coil 201 is disposed around the lens support 40, and the focusing magnet 202 is disposed on the base 50. Since the electromagnetic force generated by the focusing coil 201 and the focusing magnet 202 is parallel to the optical axis direction, the lens support 40 can move along the optical axis direction. The lens support 40 can drive the lens installed in the lens support 40 to move together, so that the lens performs a focusing movement.

[0047] More specifically, the anti-shake coil 301 can further include an X-direction coil and a Y-direction coil. The X direction is a direction perpendicular to the plane of the optical axis 401, and the Y direction is another direction perpendicular to the plane of the optical axis 401. The X direction and the Y direction are also perpendicular to each other.

[0048] The X-direction coil is wound around the opposite sides of the motor in the X direction, and the Y-direction coil is wound around the opposite sides of the motor in the Y direction. The conductive terminal 70 can supply power to the X-direction coil and the Y-direction coil, and the conductive terminal 70 can achieve anti-shake movement in the X direction and the Y direction through a drive control method.

[0049] Appendix Figure 4Illustrated is an embodiment of a suspension assembly 101 of the present application, wherein the third-direction elastic structure 1013 includes a first focusing elastic sheet 10131 and a second focusing elastic sheet 10132. The structure of the first focusing elastic sheet 10131 is rotationally symmetric with that of the second focusing elastic sheet 10132. The inner edge of the second frame 102 forms a rectangle. The first focusing elastic sheet 10131 and the second focusing elastic sheet 10132 are rotationally symmetric about the center of the rectangle formed by the inner edge of the second frame 102. The first focusing elastic sheet 10131 includes an inner clamping portion 10133 and an outer clamping portion 10134. The first focusing elastic sheet 10131 is clamped on the second frame 102 through the inner clamping portion 10133. The second frame 102 of the present application is made by semiconductor process. Therefore, the second frame 102 uses a material that is easy to etch, engrave or eliminate, and can realize changing the material into various shapes. Due to the easy forming property of this material, a complex integral elastic sheet structure can be formed.

[0050] The first focusing elastic sheet 10131 is mounted on the lens support 40 through the inner clamping portion 10133. The second focusing elastic sheet 10132 is also mounted on the lens support 40 through the inner clamping portion 10133. The first focusing elastic sheet 10131 and the second focusing elastic sheet 10132 are symmetrically arranged with each other, so that the lens support 40 can be supported in a symmetric manner, and thus the lens support 40 can be relatively balancedly supported in the direction of the optical axis 401.

[0051] In this embodiment, the elastic sheet needs to directly support the lens support 40. With the development of the technology of the current camera module, the size of the photosensitive chip is getting larger and larger. Correspondingly, the size of the lens is also getting larger and larger. When the lens becomes larger, the weight of the lens also becomes heavier. Therefore, in this embodiment, the higher the stiffness requirement of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is. If it is still made of semiconductor material, the elastic force of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 may not meet the requirements. When the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is made of a copper sheet in this embodiment, the stiffness of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 can be improved, and at the same time, it can also have a strong service life.

[0052] In this embodiment, both the inner engaging portion 10133 and the outer engaging portion 10134 of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 are through-hole structures. In this embodiment, the first inner engaging portion 10133 of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is a through-hole. Correspondingly, convex posts are provided on the second frame 102. Since the second frame 102 is formed by semiconductor processes, convex posts can be relatively easily formed on the second frame 102. In this embodiment, the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is welded to the convex posts provided on the second frame 102 through the first inner engaging portion 10133. In this embodiment, the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is formed by semiconductor materials. Since the second frame 102 can be made of silicon and metal materials, the melting point of silicon is generally around 1400 °C, and the melting point of copper is generally around 1100 °C. In this embodiment, a laser welding device with a welding temperature > 1500 °C in the prior art can be used. In this embodiment, the third-direction elastic structure 1013 and the first inner engaging portion 10133 can be connected by laser welding.

[0053] Those skilled in the art should know that the third-direction elastic structure 1013 can also be a complex structure. For example, a larger number of the third-direction elastic structures 1013 can be used. For example, four focusing elastic pieces can also meet the requirements and may better ensure the accuracy of the direction of the optical axis 401.

[0054] This application also proposes an elastic component 10, which includes a first frame 103, a second frame 102. The first frame 103 is disposed around the outside of the second frame 102, and a suspension component 101. The suspension component 101 is disposed between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102. The suspension component 101 further includes a first-direction elastic structure 1011 and a second-direction elastic structure 1012. Among them, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 have different elastic recovery directions respectively. The elastic recovery direction of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 is the first direction, and the elastic recovery direction of the second-direction elastic structure 1012 is the second direction. The difference between the first-direction elastic recovery coefficient of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second elastic recovery coefficient of the second-direction elastic structure 1012 is within 0.8 - 1.2 times. The first direction and the second direction are intersecting directions. Since the difference multiple of the elastic recovery coefficients of the first direction and the second direction of the elastic component 10 in this application is relatively low, that is, the elastic recovery coefficients of the first direction and the second direction of the elastic component 10 are relatively close, it is beneficial for optical image stabilization or the combined restoring force of the overall first direction and the second direction to be easily calibrated. In addition, due to the high forming accuracy, the elastic coefficients between the formed individuals are relatively close, which can also improve the yield rate of assembling the elastic component 10 into a camera module motor.

[0055] In the prior art, the shrapnel in the motor is often made of a thin sheet of metal copper and stamped into a shape for thermal riveting connection with a plastic structural member. A clamping hole needs to be provided on the shrapnel, and a riveting post corresponding to the clamping hole will also be provided on the plastic structural member assembled with the shrapnel. Generally speaking, the prior art includes a set of shrapnel and a frame. When the shrapnel is connected to the plastic structural member through a thermal riveting process via the riveting hole, the thermal riveting equipment performs a heating and pressing process on the riveting post on the frame. Since the plastic itself will deform when heated, the melted material after the plastic is heated may also fill in various places between the shrapnel and the frame, thus affecting the flatness of the assembled shrapnel. Therefore, in the prior art, the installation flatness of the four corners of the shrapnel in the motor may be uneven, which may cause the overall tilt of the shrapnel of the motor, thereby affecting the performance of the motor. The motor may have an excessive static tilt (referred to as motor static tilt in the industry), resulting in poor imaging performance of the camera module using the motor.

[0056] In this embodiment, both the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are made of silicon and metal materials. In this embodiment, both the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are fabricated by semiconductor processes. This application can adopt the etching technology in semiconductor processes: using chemical substances (such as acids, or etching gases, etc.) to remove metal materials, or using the etching technology in semiconductor processes: the technology of removing part of the material by chemical reaction or physical impact to form a structure. Using semiconductor processes such as etching technology or photolithography technology enables the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 to be formed on a base, so that the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 can extend integrally from the first frame 103 or the second frame 102. In this application, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 extend integrally with the first frame 103 and the second frame 102, so that the flatness between the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 relative to the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 is better, ensuring the overall flatness of the elastic component 10. When the elastic component 10 is installed in the motor, it provides a better static tilt for the motor, ensuring the imaging performance of the camera module equipped with the motor.

[0057] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 extends integrally within the first frame 103, so that the structural strength of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the first frame 103 is relatively high. The first-direction elastic structure 1011 extends integrally outside the second frame 102, and the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 are connected by the first-direction elastic structure 1011. Since the first frame 103, the second frame 102, and the first-direction elastic structure 1011 are formed in such an integrally formed manner, the structural strength between the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 is relatively high, and it is difficult for the first-direction elastic structure 1011 to fall off or break between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102.

[0058] Similarly, the second-direction elastic structure 1012 extends integrally within the first frame 103, so that the structural strength of the second-direction elastic structure 1012 and the first frame 103 is relatively high. The second-direction elastic structure 1012 extends integrally outside the second frame 102, and the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 are connected by the second-direction elastic structure 1012. Since the first frame 103, the second frame 102, and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 are formed in such an integrally formed manner, the structural strength between the second-direction elastic structure 1012 and the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 is relatively high, and it is difficult for the second-direction elastic structure 1012 to fall off or break between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102. Overall, the first-direction elastic structure 1012, the second-direction elastic structure 1012, the first frame 103, and the second frame 102 are all formed in an integrally extended manner, so as to ensure that the overall structural strength of the elastic component 10 is relatively high.

[0059] A third-direction elastic structure 1013 is further provided on the second frame 102. The third-direction elastic structure 1013 includes a first focusing elastic piece 10131 and a second focusing elastic piece 10132. The inner edge of the second frame 102 surrounds a rectangle, and the first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 are rotationally symmetric about the center of the rectangle surrounded by the inner edge of the second frame 102, so that the elastic restoring forces of the first focusing elastic piece 10131 and the second focusing elastic piece 10132 can act relatively uniformly and symmetrically.

[0060] Refer to the appendix Figure 6As shown, the third-directional elastic structure 1013 also includes an inner clamping portion 10133 and an outer clamping portion 10134, wherein the inner clamping portion 10133 is arranged at a position close to the center of the first focusing spring piece 10131 and the second focusing spring piece 10132, and the outer clamping portion 10134 is arranged at a position away from the center of the first focusing spring piece 10131 and the second focusing spring piece 10132, the first focusing spring piece 10131 is fixed to the lens support body 40 through the inner clamping portion 10133, and the second focusing spring piece 10132 is fixed to the second frame 102 through the outer clamping portion 10134.

[0061] In this embodiment, the third directional elastic structure 1013 also includes a first arc segment 10135, a second arc segment 10136, a first corner unit 10138, and a second corner unit 10139, wherein the first corner unit 10138 and the second corner unit 10139 are arranged at adjacent corners. In this embodiment, the first corner unit 10138 and the second corner unit 10139 extend integrally, thereby enhancing the strength of the third directional elastic structure 1013 and preventing the first corner unit 10138 and the second corner unit 10139, which serve as fixed parts, from twisting due to large deformation.

[0062] The first arc segment 10135 is integrally extended from the first corner unit 10138. The first arc segment 10135 is provided with at least 5 arcs. Generally speaking, the more arcs are provided, the smaller the overall rigidity of the first arc segment 10135 is, and the easier it is for the first arc segment 10135 to deform. In this embodiment, the radius of the arc close to the first corner unit 10138 among the at least 5 arcs is the longest. In this embodiment, since the first corner unit 10138 serves as a fixing portion, when the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is deformed, it is not expected that the first corner unit 10138 will deform. Element 10138 falls off or breaks due to excessive deformation. In this embodiment, the radius of the arc close to the first corner unit 10138 is the largest, so that when the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is subjected to force, the strain is first released through the deformation of at least 5 arcs. The radius of the arc close to the first corner unit 10138 is the largest, and the arc close to the first corner unit 10138 is most easily deformed. Therefore, a lot of strain will be released on the arc close to the first corner unit 10138, which greatly reduces the deformation of the first corner unit 10138 when subjected to force.

[0063] In the present embodiment, the second arc segment 10136 is integrally extended from the second corner unit 10139, and at least five arcs are also provided on the second arc segment 10136. Generally speaking, the more arcs are provided, the smaller the overall rigidity of the second arc segment 10136 is, and the easier it is for the second arc segment 10136 to deform. In the present embodiment, the radius of the arc close to the second corner unit 10139 among at least the five arcs is the largest. In the present embodiment, since the second corner unit 10139 serves as a fixed part, when the third-directional elastic structure 1013 is deformed, it is not expected that the second corner unit 10139 will fall off or break due to excessive deformation. In this embodiment, the radius of the arc close to the second corner unit 10139 is the largest, which can enable the strain of the third-directional elastic structure 1013 to be released through the deformation of at least 5 arcs when the force is applied. The radius of the arc close to the second corner unit 10139 is the largest, and the arc close to the second corner unit 10139 is most easily deformed. Therefore, a lot of strain will be released on the arc close to the second corner unit 10139, which greatly reduces the deformation of the second corner unit 10139 when subjected to force.

[0064] In this embodiment, an extension piece 10137 is provided between the first arc segment 10135 and the second arc segment 10136, and the extension piece 10137 integrally connects the first arc segment 10135 and the second arc segment 10136, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the third-direction elastic structure 1013. The first arc segment 10135 and the second arc segment 10136 have mirror-image or rotationally symmetrical shapes, so that when the third-direction elastic structure 1013 is subjected to force, the first arc segment 10135 and the second arc segment 10136 can be uniformly deformed, ensuring that the shape center of the third-direction elastic structure 1013 remains unchanged.

[0065] The extension piece 10137 is provided with an arc edge corresponding to the shape of the lens support body 40 to better support the lens support body 40. In this embodiment, the inner clamping portion 10133 is provided near two sections of the arc edge of the extension piece 10137, so that when the extension piece 10137 is clamped to the lens support body 40, the clamping position interval is as large as possible, so that the structural strength of the clamping piece clamped to the lens support body 40 can be stable.

[0066] Attached Figure 7 A molding method of an elastic component 10 of the present application is illustrated, which includes the following steps:

[0067] S1: Provide a substrate

[0068] In step S1, the provided substrate can be a silicon wafer material. Since the semiconductor forming process based on silicon wafer material is relatively mature, it is more convenient to use silicon material as the substrate method.

[0069] S2: Form a metal layer on the substrate

[0070] In step S2, a metal layer can be formed on the substrate by chemical processing and vapor deposition. The metal layer can be used as the basis for etching. Additionally, electroplating can be performed on the vapor-deposited metal layer to thicken the metal layer to meet the processing requirements.

[0071] S3: Etch a pattern on the metal layer

[0072] In step S3, to etch a pattern on the metal layer, on the materials of the metal layer and the substrate obtained in S2, the unwanted pattern can be removed by means of a mask. Additionally, the unwanted pattern can be removed by means of plasma gas on the materials of the metal layer and the substrate obtained in S2, removing the unwanted material and retaining the pattern on the metal layer. Specifically, a technique that uses chemical reactions or physical impacts on the metal layer to remove some materials to form a structure can be used. Using etching techniques or semiconductor processes such as etching technology enables the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 to be formed on a basis, so that the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 can integrally extend from the first frame 103 or the second frame 102. In this application, the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 integrally extend with the first frame 103 and the second frame 102, so that the flatness between the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 relative to the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 is better, ensuring the overall flatness of the elastic component 10. When the elastic component 10 is installed in the motor, a better static tilt is provided to the motor, ensuring the imaging performance of the camera module equipped with the motor.

[0073] S4: Perform circuit processing on the pattern

[0074] In step S4, since the elastic component 10 in this embodiment needs to achieve the requirement of electrical conductivity, in the field of compact camera modules (CCM), it is often necessary to design the circuit of the coil through the spring piece of the motor, so as to facilitate the electrical conductivity design of the motor and reduce the size of the motor. In this embodiment, in order to further reduce the size of the motor, at least two electrical circuit interfaces are provided in the elastic component 10, so as to meet the conduction of at least 2 electrical circuits. This method can save more conductive structures, thereby reducing the size of the motor.

[0075] S5: Remove the substrate to obtain the metal layer

[0076] In step S5, the metal layer with an etched shape is obtained in the previous steps, and this metal layer with a pattern shape can serve as a metal structure with elastic restoring force. Therefore, this metal layer can be used as the elastic piece of the motor. In this embodiment, this metal layer is composed of a polysilicon layer and at least one metal layer stacked. Since the metal layer is conductive, this shaped "elastic piece" can be fabricated by semiconductor processes, and the shape can be made more compact, and the conductive circuit can also be more complex. It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the metal layer is preferably a silicon steel sheet, which can be made of silicon material and steel material. Since the silicon steel sheet uses the silicon material as the substrate and the metal material as the conductive and reinforcing material, it can enhance the conductivity and rigidity of the material.

[0077] In this application, the suspension piece is formed by semiconductor processes, specifically by silicon-based materials. By forming with silicon-based materials, metal solder joints can be formed on the surface of the suspension piece, and by using semiconductor processes, the focusing elastic piece can be welded to the metal solder joints, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the focusing elastic piece and the suspension piece.

[0078] In addition, the overall silicon-based material is a mixture of metal and silicon materials, so it can have certain metal characteristics. The suspension piece can have the strength, stiffness, and resilience of metal. Obviously, by adjusting the ratio of the metal and silicon materials, the elastic coefficient can be adjusted to meet the requirements of different elasticities.

[0079] In the field of compact camera modules (CCMs), it is often necessary to conduct the circuit of the coil through the elastic piece of the motor, so as to conveniently conduct electricity to the motor and reduce the size of the motor. In this embodiment, in order to further reduce the size of the motor, at least two electrical circuit interfaces are provided in the elastic component 10, so as to satisfy the conduction of at least 2 electrical circuits. This method can save more conductive structures, thereby reducing the size of the motor.

[0080] Refer to the appendix Figure 8Another suspension assembly 101A is illustrated. In this embodiment, the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A included in the suspension assembly 101A are of a compact design. The first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A form a "V" shaped structure with each other. Among them, the first-direction elastic structure 1011A is a structure of a group of silicon steel sheets. The first-direction elastic structure 1011A is connected to the second-direction elastic structure 1012A through a turning portion 1014A. The included angle between the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A is 30 - 60°. Those skilled in the art should know that when the first-direction elastic structure 1011A is in the shape of silicon steel laminations, the deformation direction of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A is the stacking direction of the silicon steel sheets. Due to the setting of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A, from an overall perspective, the deformation directions of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A can be superimposed, so that the suspension assembly 101A can have deformation degrees of freedom in multiple directions.

[0081] In this embodiment, the number of the suspension assemblies 101A is four, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the first frame 103A and the second frame 102A. The first frame 103A and the second frame 102A are elastically supported and connected through the four suspension assemblies 101A.

[0082] In this embodiment, the turning portion 1014A is a silicon steel sheet in this embodiment. Among them, the first-direction elastic structure 1011A is a structure of three silicon steel sheets. The three silicon steel sheets of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A are all connected to one silicon steel sheet of the turning portion 1014A. This way can reduce the redundant deformation directions generated due to the complex shape of the turning portion 1014A and ensure the accuracy of the elastic deformation degree of freedom direction of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A. The second-direction elastic structure 1012A is also a structure of three silicon steel sheets. The three silicon steel sheets of the second-direction elastic structure 1012A are all connected to one silicon steel sheet of the turning portion 1014A. This way can reduce the redundant deformation directions generated due to the complex shape of the turning portion 1014A. In this embodiment, the accuracy of the deformation degree of freedom directions of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A can be ensured. The turning portion 1014A can ensure the accuracy of the deformation direction of the suspension assembly 101A with a simple structure and a structure with fewer deformation degrees of freedom.

[0083] In this embodiment, the rigidity of the turning portion 1014A is greater than that of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A, so as to ensure the deformation freedom degrees of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A. Additionally, the deformation freedom degree direction of the turning portion 1014A intersects with the deformation freedom degree direction of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A, and the deformation freedom degree direction of the turning portion 1014A intersects with the deformation freedom degree direction of the second-direction elastic structure 1012A, so that the turning portion 1014A does not affect the deformation freedom degree directions of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A.

[0084] In this embodiment, the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A are symmetrically arranged with respect to the midline of the first turning portion 1014A, so that the deformations and elastic restoring forces generated by the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A can be relatively evenly arranged, so that the restoring force of the suspension assembly 101A is relatively symmetric. The midline of the first turning portion 1014A is parallel to the midline of the included angle between two adjacent sides of the first outer frame. Finally, the elastic coefficient along the X direction and the elastic coefficient along the Y direction are the same, so as to ensure that the driving elastic restoring force of the suspension assembly 101A can act relatively evenly, so as to ensure the driving accuracy of the anti-shake driving assembly in this application.

[0085] Attached Figure 9 shows the specific structural schematic diagram of the elastic structure in the attached Figure 8 The first-direction elastic structure 1011A is implemented as a silicon steel lamination structure, where the silicon steel lamination structure is a structure of 3 silicon steel sheets 10111A arranged inside and outside. In this application, the number of silicon steel sheets 10111A can also be changed, so that the elastic coefficient of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A can be greatly changed. In this application, the thickness of the silicon steel sheet can also be changed, and the elastic coefficient of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A can also be changed, so that the elastic coefficient of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A can meet the design requirements.

[0086] It is worth mentioning that the second-direction elastic structure 1012A is connected to the first-direction elastic structure 1011A through a turning portion 1014A. In this application, the turning portion 1014A is not bent by machine heating and pressing. In this application, the turning portion 1014A is still integrally formed with the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A. In this application, the turning portion 1014A is processed by an etching technique or a lithography technique to form a specific bending angle. In this processing method, for example, the raw material can be cut by ion gas cutting to ensure the accuracy. In this embodiment, the turning portion 1014A is a straight edge. In this embodiment, the turning portion 1014A connects the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A, and the turning portion 1014A is trimmed, which can improve the yield rate of semiconductor processing. The second-direction elastic structure 1012A also includes a second silicon steel sheet 10121A structure.

[0087] In this embodiment, the thickness of the silicon steel sheet of the turning portion 1014A is thicker than that of the silicon steel sheet of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A, so that the rigidity of the turning portion 1014A can be greater than that of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A. During the deformation process of the elastic component 10A, the turning portion 1014A with high rigidity can ensure the freedom of deformation of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and the second-direction elastic structure 1012A, so that the elastic recovery direction of the elastic component 10A can be maintained in the designed direction, ensuring that the elastic component 10A will not have accidental deformation causing the structure of the elastic component 10A to break due to collision.

[0088] In addition, the first-direction elastic structure 1011A may further include a first thickening portion 10112A located in the middle. The first thickening portion 10112A is located in the middle of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A and can be used as a portion with relatively large rigidity to restrict the deformation direction of the first-direction elastic structure 1011A. Correspondingly, the second-direction elastic structure 1012A may further include a second thickening portion 10122A located in the middle. The second thickening portion 10122A is located in the middle of the second-direction elastic structure 1012A and can be used as a portion with relatively large rigidity to restrict the deformation direction of the second-direction elastic structure 1012A, so as to ensure at least two directions of deformation freedom, and a symmetric design is adopted to make the elastic coefficients in the at least two directions close to improve the accuracy of the elastic coefficient.

[0089] It is worth mentioning that in this application, four anti-shake coils 301 are provided and are respectively arranged in the four side directions of the base 50. Since the acting force of the anti-shake coil 301 may pass through the dimension center of the motor, if the suspension assembly 101 can ensure that the "holding force" of the suspension assemblies 101 (equivalent to shrapnel) at the four corners between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 is the same. For example, in this embodiment, a scheme can be adopted where the elastic coefficient in the X direction is 20 mN / mm and the elastic coefficient in the Y direction is 20 mN / mm, and the elastic coefficients in the XY directions (K value) are the same, so that the relative elastic coefficient between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 can be the same, that is, the elastic action provided by the holding member between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102 can also be more precise. Correspondingly, the rated driving force of the motor (the rated driving force needs to consider that when at the maximum end of the stroke, the driving force still has to be greater than the maximum elastic holding force between the first frame 103 and the second frame 102) can be made smaller, and finally the overall size of the motor can also be reduced.

[0090] In this application, the elastic coefficients of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of the silicon material and the metal material. Since the ratio of the silicon and metal materials determines the stiffness of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012, adjusting the ratio of silicon and metal in the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012 can affect the elastic coefficients of the first-direction elastic structure 1011 and the second-direction elastic structure 1012.

[0091] In the prior art, due to the large rigidity at the bending points of the shrapnel, it is very difficult to ensure the consistency of the bending angles of multiple shrapnels. There may be cases where the bending angles of some shrapnels are 89°, 90°, 91°. These differences in bending angles may lead to poor consistency of the shrapnel, thereby affecting the driving accuracy of the motor and the product performance of the camera module. On the other hand, if the shrapnel is used as a supporting element in the optical anti-shake direction (generally referred to as anti-shake in the XY-plane in the industry), if there are cracks at the bending points or different bending angles in multiple directions of the anti-shake, it may cause too large differences in the elastic recovery coefficients in each direction of the shrapnel, resulting in poor optical anti-shake effect. For example, if the elastic coefficient in the X direction is larger than the elastic coefficient in the Y direction due to the bending angle, it may cause a situation where the driving accuracy is not high when the rated driving force (the acting force of the coil magnet) of the motor drives the motor to move. Through the structure and forming method of the elastic assembly in this application, the consistency of the elastic assembly can be improved, thereby improving the consistency of various performances of the motor.
