Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMs), and more particularly to a micro optical scanning device and an electromagnetically driven optical scanning device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a rotary resonant vibration of a reflector. Background Art

[0002] In related technologies, most MEMs micro-optical scanning devices are based on single-crystal silicon wafers. Using sophisticated semiconductor etching processes, the micromechanical structures of these precise optical scanning devices are fabricated on these wafers. Due to their compact size and extremely low power consumption, MEMs micro-optical scanning devices are currently widely used in various image display devices, image projection devices, and spatial scanning devices.

[0003] like Figure 1a As shown in Figure 2-b, the existing MEMs micro optical scanning device mainly adopts a torsion beam structure. Figure 1a As shown, components such as the mirror and permanent magnet are fixed to the torsion beam. In some MEMs devices, because electrostatics are used as the driving force, there is no permanent magnet. However, the torsion beam and mirror are always present. Figure 1b As shown in the figure, the reflector and the torsion beam are an integrated structure, that is, the reflector and the torsion beam are made of the same material. In traditional MEMs micro optical scanning devices, the reflector and the torsion beam are made of single crystal silicon. All micro optical scanning devices with this type of torsion beam structure ( Figure 1a -b) The operating principle is that the torsion of the torsion beam drives the mirror to rotate, changing the reflection direction of the mirror. This causes the reflected light to shift from its original reflection direction to the new, twisted direction, achieving a light scanning effect. If the torsional motion of the torsion beam is periodic, it causes the mirror to twist back and forth periodically (or vibrate), resulting in a back-and-forth scanning of the reflected light. However, when such a MEMs micro-optical scanner is in operation, the twisting of the torsion beam creates significant torsional stress on the beam. This is particularly true when scanning at large angles, where the material twists significantly. These devices are mostly manufactured using single-crystal silicon, a material that is fragile and prone to fracture under high stress, thus damaging the MEMs micro-optical scanner. Therefore, MEMs micro-optical scanners are suitable for applications with small scanning angles. Furthermore, the manufacture of these single-crystal silicon MEMs devices requires semiconductor processing, which results in high manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention

[0056] It will be understood that the present application is not limited to the preferred embodiments described herein and that, of course, various modifications or changes may be made without departing from the scope of protection defined herein.

[0057] As shown in Figures 2 to 7, first, Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. A micro optical scanning device according to the present invention includes a reflector 1, a spring 2, a gasket 3, and a permanent magnet 4, wherein:

[0058] The reflector 1 is a sheet-like element used to reflect light or change the propagation direction of a light beam, and the curvature radius ROC of the reflective surface of the reflector 1 is greater than 1 meter;

[0059] The gasket 3 is fixed on the back of the reflector, and a through hole is formed in the center of the gasket 3 to match the shape of the permanent magnet 4;

[0060] The spring piece 2 is made of a metal sheet and includes at least one fixed portion 21, two elastic working portions 22, and at least one connecting portion 23. The at least one connecting portion 23 of the spring piece 2 is fixed to the gasket 3, and the at least one fixed portion 21 of the spring piece 2 is used to be fixedly connected to an external carrier.

[0061] The permanent magnet 4 is fixed on the back of the reflector 1 and is nested in the connecting portion of the elastic sheet 2 and the gasket 3;

[0062] The core module is defined as an assembly of the reflector 1, the gasket 3, the permanent magnet 4, and the connecting portion 23 of the spring 2. The core module does not include the elastic working portion 22 and the fixed portion 21 of the spring 2. Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of the core module. Figure 3a The elastic working part 22 and the fixed part 21 of the spring are not included. The directions of the XYZ coordinate axes of the core module are defined as shown in the figure. The origin O of the coordinate system is the mass center 5 ( Figure 3a ). The projection point of the rotation axis on the XZ plane is marked as 6. Figure 3b For top view, the Y axis points upward.

[0063] In the micro optical scanning device described in the present invention, the elastic working portion 22 of the spring 2 includes at least one elastic structure 220 that can be bent or curved. The bending or curving deformation of the elastic working portion 22 can drive the reflector 1 to rotate back and forth or vibrate around the rotation axis 6.

[0064] While the design of the present invention may appear simple and unremarkable on the surface, its mechanical principles are fundamentally different from those of conventional torsion beam structures. In conventional micro-optical scanning devices, the mirror's rotation or vibration about its axis is achieved by the torsion of the torsion beam structure. However, when a MEMs micro-optical scanner is operating, significant stress can easily accumulate within the torsion beam structure. Especially during high-angle scanning, the stress generated within the material can cause the torsion beam structure to fracture. In contrast, the micro-optical scanning device provided in this embodiment achieves the mirror's rotation or vibration about its axis through the bending or flexing of the elastic working portion 22. Therefore, the original torsion beam structure is eliminated, and thus, torsional deformation and torsional stress are eliminated. Figure 5 This diagram vividly illustrates the bending deformation of the elastic working portion 22 of the present invention and how this deformation drives the reflector to rotate or vibrate around the rotation axis. Compared to the torsion beam structure of Figure 1, it is clear that the material deformation is completely different. The magnitude of the stress generated within the material by bending deformation is completely different from the magnitude of the torsional stress generated by torsional deformation. Furthermore, the nature and mechanism of the stress generation are completely different. Furthermore, the stress generated by bending deformation is generally much less than the stress generated by torsion.

[0065] In the present invention, the reflector 1 is an optical element, which is an optical element used to reflect light or change the propagation direction of a light beam. In this embodiment, the reflector 1 is a silicon wafer, or a silicon wafer with a reflective film coated on its surface to increase the reflectivity. A silicon wafer refers to a piece of sheet material cut from a silicon wafer. In one embodiment, the reflector 1 is formed by injection molding to form an optical-grade reflective mirror surface, and a reflective film is coated on the reflective surface to increase the reflectivity. Generally, the reflector 1 can be made of any material with a reflective surface. The reflective surface can be further coated with a reflective film to increase the reflectivity or a special reflection effect.

[0066] Furthermore, the reflective surface of the reflector 1 is a flat surface with a radius of curvature greater than 1 meter. The larger the radius of curvature, the higher the flatness. This reflective surface, aside from altering the propagation direction of the light beam, has minimal or no effect on the divergence angle or parallelism of the light beam. This helps other optical components in the backend achieve certain optical functions, such as focusing to a diffraction-limited focal point or achieving an image point with an extremely small spot diameter.

[0067] In this embodiment, the spring fragment 2 is made of a thin sheet of alloy steel. In one embodiment, the spring fragment 2 is made of a thin sheet of copper alloy. Needless to say, various other metal sheet materials or other thin sheet materials with suitable elasticity, including but not limited to silicon wafers, glass sheets, ceramic sheets, or plastic sheets, can be used to manufacture the spring fragment 2 and are also within the scope of protection of the present invention. The definition of thin sheet refers to the material used to manufacture the spring fragment having a dimension in the Z direction that is much smaller than the dimensions in the X and Y directions (see Figure 3 for the XYZ axis).

[0068] The elastic working portion 22 of the spring 2 in the optical scanning device of the present invention is a bendable or flexurally deformable elastic structure. The flexural or flexural deformation of the elastic working portion 22 can cause the reflector 1 to rotate or vibrate about the rotation axis of the spring 2. In the present embodiment, Figures 2 and 4 show an S-shaped elastic working portion. However, elastic working portions that can bend or flexurally deform include, but are not limited to, S-shaped structures. Any elastic working portion structure that can cause the reflector to rotate or vibrate about the rotation axis through flexural or flexural deformation is within the scope of the present invention. Figure 4a As shown, the spring piece 2 is mirror-symmetrical. In some embodiments, the spring piece 2 is a rotationally symmetrical structure with the origin O as the rotational symmetry. Figure 4a The rotation axis defined by the spring 2 is also shown, passing through the origin O of the spring 2. In this embodiment, the connecting portion 23 is a circular ring structure. Figure 4b As shown, the connecting portion 23 is a non-circular structure with the rotation axis as the axis of symmetry. In another embodiment, the connecting portion 23 is not a whole, but two separate connecting portions ( Figure 4b ), that is, the spring piece 2 is separated into two independent spring pieces. In this case, the present invention still treats the two separated independent spring pieces as one spring piece. Because the two separated spring pieces are equivalent to one spring piece, a part of the middle connecting part thereof is cut away. In other embodiments, the two fixing parts of the spring piece 2 are connected together to form a common fixing part. Such a structure is better for subsequent manufacturing and assembly processes. Figure 4c As shown, the fixing portion 21 is in a closed ring shape, and a through hole portion 210 is defined in the fixing portion 21 . The elastic piece 2 is disposed in the through hole portion 210 of the fixing portion 21 . Figure 4d In another embodiment, the S-shaped elastic working portion comprises multiple S-shaped structures, and the distance between each S-shaped inflection point 1, 2, or 3 and the rotation axis increases as the inflection point moves farther from the center. This structure helps to more evenly distribute stress to every point on the working portion 22. As a result, the internal stress distribution is more even and less, thereby extending its service life.

[0069] In this implementation ( Figure 2c ), the gasket 3 is arranged below the reflector 1 and above the spring 2, and is tightly connected to the reflector 1 and the spring 2, forming a material sequence structure of reflector-gasket-spring (i.e. 1-3-2). In one embodiment, the gasket 3 is arranged below the spring 2, forming a material sequence structure of reflector-spring-gasket (i.e. 1-2-3). In this embodiment ( Figure 2c ), the center of the gasket 3 is a circular through hole, and the permanent magnet 4 is nested in the through hole. In some embodiments, the through hole in the gasket 3 is not circular in shape, but a shape that matches the shape of the permanent magnet 4, so that the permanent magnet 4 can be perfectly nested in the gasket 3. In some extreme cases, the through hole in the gasket 3 does not exist, and the gasket 3 is just a solid gasket. In this case, the permanent magnet is only fixed on the lower surface of the gasket 3. In one embodiment, the through hole of the gasket 3 is not completely through, but is recessed a little like the shape of the Chinese character "kou". Figure 2d At this time, the permanent magnet 4 is nested and fixed on the inner surface of the groove of the gasket 3.

[0070] In the present invention ( Figure 5 ), the gasket 3 is used to adapt or adjust the center of mass position of the core module of the optical scanning device. This adjustment is achieved by carefully designing the thickness and shape of the gasket 3 so that the center of mass of the core module, including the gasket 3, is located at a specific position. In one embodiment, the gasket 3 is carefully designed to adjust the core module so that the center of mass of the core module and the rotation axis approximately coincide. Therefore, the gasket 3 can be made of any material, such as the same material as the reflector, the same material as the spring, or any other material that facilitates adjustment of the center of mass position.

[0071] Example 2: An electromagnetically driven optical scanning device composed of a micro optical scanning device according to one or more embodiments will now be described, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 .

[0072] 6 shows an example of an electromagnetically driven optical scanning device including an embodiment of the micro-optical scanning device described herein. Figure 6a is the front view, Figure 6b The figure is an exploded view. An electromagnetically driven optical scanning device includes:

[0073] A micro-optical scanning device 100 according to the present invention, a base 7, and an electromagnetic drive device 8;

[0074] The micro optical scanning device is the optical scanning device described in the first embodiment;

[0075] Wherein, the fixing portion 21 in the micro optical scanning device is fixed on the base 7;

[0076] Wherein, the electromagnetic driving device 8 is fixed on the base 7;

[0077] The electromagnetic drive device includes a coil 81, a coil support 82, and two magnetic yokes, namely, a magnetic yoke A and a magnetic yoke B; wherein the coil 81 is fixed around the coil support 82; wherein the magnetic yokes A and B are respectively inserted into the through holes of the coil support 82 ( Figure 7b ), so that the coil 81 indirectly surrounds the magnetic yokes A and B.

[0078] according to Figure 6a As shown, the ends of the magnetic yoke of the electromagnetically driven optical scanning device are respectively disposed near the permanent magnet 4, presenting a bilaterally symmetrical distribution. The magnetic yoke is inserted into the through-hole of the coil support 82, so that the magnetic field generated by the coil 81 is guided by the magnetic yoke and concentrated at both ends. The magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet 4, driving the reflector 1 of the micro-optical scanning device to vibrate back and forth about the rotation axis 6 of the micro-optical scanning device of the first embodiment.
