[0086] The following describes the drive mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model. However, it is easy to understand that the embodiment of the utility model provides many suitable utility model concepts and can be implemented in a wide variety of specific backgrounds. The specific embodiments disclosed are only used to illustrate the use of the utility model in a specific way, and are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0087] Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It is understood that these terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the background or context of the relevant technology and the present disclosure, and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal manner unless specifically defined herein.
[0088] The above and other technical contents, features and effects of the present invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings. The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only referenced to the directions of the attached drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used in the embodiments are used to illustrate and not to limit the present invention.
[0089] First, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 ,in Figure 1 FIG. 1 is an exploded view of a driving mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 express Figure 1 Another exploded view of the drive mechanism 100, Figure 3 express Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view of the drive mechanism 100 after assembly.
[0090] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the driving mechanism 100 of the present embodiment is, for example, a voice coil motor (VCM), which can be installed inside a mobile phone or other portable electronic device to drive an optical element (such as an optical lens) to move, thereby achieving functions such as auto focusing (AF) or optical image stabilization (OIS).
[0091] The aforementioned driving mechanism 100 mainly includes a hollow plastic housing H, a base B, a circuit component F, a carrier LH, an upper spring sheet FS, at least one lower spring sheet BS, at least one magnetic element M and at least one coil C. In this embodiment, the aforementioned housing H has a hollow structure and is combined with the base B, and the circuit component F is fixed to one side of the base B, wherein the housing H and the base B can together form a fixed part of the driving mechanism 100, and the boss B1 on the base B will extend into the interior of the housing H, and the boss B1 and the inner surface of the housing H can be bonded by glue during assembly.
[0092] In addition, the aforementioned carrier LH is movably accommodated in the housing H, and an optical element (not shown) can be fixed in the carrier LH, wherein the aforementioned carrier LH constitutes a movable part that can move relative to the aforementioned fixed part (housing H and base B).
[0093] Specifically, the aforementioned carrier LH is connected to the housing H and the base B through the upper and lower springs FS and BS, respectively, so that the carrier LH can be suspended in the driving mechanism 100 in a movable manner. Through the aforementioned mechanism configuration, external light can enter the driving mechanism 100 along the optical axis O (Z-axis direction) of the optical element, and the light will pass through the optical lens and reach an image sensing element (not shown) located below the base B, thereby generating a digital image.
[0094] It should be particularly noted that a coil C is provided on both sides of the aforementioned carrier LH, and a magnetic element M (such as a magnet) corresponding to the aforementioned coil C is provided on the inner side of the shell H, wherein the aforementioned coil C and the magnetic element M can constitute a driving component.
[0095] When a current signal is applied to the aforementioned coil C, the magnetic force generated between the coil C and the magnetic element M can drive the carrier LH and the optical element disposed therein to move relative to the base B and the shell H along the optical axis O direction (Z-axis direction), thereby achieving the function of auto focus (AF) or optical image stabilization (OIS).
[0096] Depend on Figure 1 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , a magnet HM is provided on one side of the carrier LH, and a magnetic field sensing element HS is provided on the circuit assembly F. Fig. 9 ) is used to sense the position change of the magnet HM. For example, the magnetic field sensing element HS may be a Hall effect sensor, a magnetoresistive sensor (MR sensor), or a fluxgate sensor, etc., which can be used to sense the position of the magnet HM, so as to know the relative position change between the carrier LH and the fixing part (shell H and base B).
[0097] Please also refer to Figure 3, Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in Figure 4 Exploded view showing the shell H and the reinforcing plate S. Figure 5 A perspective view showing the housing H, the reinforcing sheet S, and the upper spring sheet FS after being combined.
[0098] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the aforementioned shell H contains plastic material, wherein a plurality of long strip limiting posts 11 protruding toward the -Z axis direction are formed on the inner side of the shell H. The aforementioned magnetic element M can be positioned between adjacent limiting posts 11 during assembly, thereby preventing the magnetic element M from being displaced in the horizontal direction relative to the shell H, thereby ensuring that the driving mechanism 100 performs normal functions.
[0099] In this embodiment, the upper spring sheet FS is fixed to an inner side of the housing H, and the upper spring sheet FS surrounds the limit post 11; that is, the limit post 11 passes through the openings FS1 on both sides of the upper spring sheet FS (such as Figure 1 shown).
[0100] On the other hand, the shell H is formed with a plurality of side walls h parallel to the optical axis O, wherein a protruding structure P protrudes from a side wall portion h of the shell H toward the inner side of the shell H, and a groove R is formed between the protruding structure P and the side wall portion h for accommodating glue and the circuit component F.
[0101] It should be particularly noted that a reinforcing sheet S with low magnetic permeability and electrically independent from the circuit component F and any other circuits is embedded on the inner side of the aforementioned side wall portion h, wherein the reinforcing sheet S has a main body S1, at least one through hole S2 and at least one protrusion S3, the aforementioned through hole S2 is formed on the main body S1, and the aforementioned protrusion S3 extends downward from the aforementioned main body S1.
[0102] In this embodiment, the aforementioned reinforcing sheet S is made of metal, for example, and can be combined with the plastic housing H by insert molding. When the housing H and the reinforcing sheet S are combined, the body S1 of the reinforcing sheet S will be exposed on the inner side of the housing H and face the aforementioned protruding structure P. In addition, a portion of the housing H will be embedded in the through hole S2 of the reinforcing sheet S after molding to form an embedded structure 101 ( Figure 5 ), thereby increasing the bonding strength between the shell H and the reinforcing sheet S.
[0103] Specifically, the aforementioned embedded structure 101 can protrude the aforementioned through hole S2 toward the inner side of the reinforcing sheet S; however, the aforementioned embedded structure 101 may not protrude from the through hole S2 of the reinforcing sheet S, but instead form a recess in the through hole S2, thereby helping to increase the glue adhesion area between the shell H, the reinforcing sheet S and the circuit component F.
[0104] On the other hand, from Figure 5 It can be seen from the figure that the protrusion S3 of the reinforcing sheet S protrudes downward from the edge of the plastic housing H, so that glue (such as Figure 1 As shown in the direction of arrow D in the figure, the circuit assembly F, the housing H, the reinforcing sheet S and the base B are bonded together at the same time, thereby greatly improving the overall structural strength and reliability of the driving mechanism 100.
[0105] Next, please refer to Figure 6 ,in Figure 6 A perspective view showing a reinforcing sheet S is shown.
[0106] like Figure 6 As shown, the body S1 of the reinforcing sheet S is substantially rectangular, and a slope S11 is formed on both sides of the body S1 , wherein the slope S11 is embedded in the side wall h of the plastic housing H to enhance the bonding strength between the housing H and the reinforcing sheet S.
[0107] In addition, from Figure 6 It can be seen that the protrusion S3 is bent toward the -Y axis direction (horizontal direction) and protrudes from the body S1, so when observed along the optical axis O direction (Z axis direction), a part of the protrusion S3 will not overlap with the body S1.
[0108] Please also refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 ,in Figure 7 Another perspective view showing the upper spring FS, the housing H and the reinforcing sheet S after being combined. Figure 8 The bottom view shows the upper spring FS, the housing H and the reinforcing sheet S after they are combined. Fig. 9 A three-dimensional diagram showing the upper spring piece FS, the magnetic element M, the housing H and the reinforcing sheet S after being combined.
[0109] from Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9It can be seen that the upper spring sheet FS will surround the limit column 11 after assembly, and the upper spring sheet FS and the magnetic element at least partially overlap in the direction of the optical axis O. In addition, the groove R is between a side wall portion h of the housing H and the protruding structure P, wherein the protruding structure P includes a first boss P1, a second boss P2 and a third boss P3, the first boss P1 and the second boss P2 are located at two ends of the protruding structure P, and the third boss P3 is located between the first boss P1 and the second boss P2.
[0110] It should be understood that during assembly, glue (such as thermosetting glue) can be applied inside the groove R and between the circuit component F and the reinforcing sheet S, and then the circuit component F can be inserted into the aforementioned groove R to enable the circuit component F to be fixed in the aforementioned groove R.
[0111] like Fig. 9 As shown in the areas G1 and G2 in the figure, in order to enhance the connection strength between the circuit component F and the housing H, a UV glue or a UV-andthermo-curable adhesive may be applied to the first boss P1 and the second boss P2 during assembly, and the circuit component F and the housing H may be pre-bonded. Then, a thermal glue may be applied to other components that need to be fixed (such as the base B), and high-temperature baking may be performed together after the installation of other components is completed. In this way, the components inside the drive mechanism 100 may be firmly bonded to each other through stepwise curing.
[0112] In one embodiment, a light-curing adhesive or a dual-effect curing adhesive may also be applied on the third boss P3 to enhance the bonding strength between the circuit component F and the housing H.
[0113] In addition, from Fig. 9 It can also be seen that a magnetic field sensing element HS and a plurality of electronic components E (such as capacitors or inductors) are provided on the circuit assembly F, wherein two electronic components E at least partially overlap in the direction of the optical axis O (Z axis), and at least one of the aforementioned electronic components E is tilted relative to the optical axis O (Z axis). Through the aforementioned special configuration, the space inside the shell H can be effectively utilized to promote the miniaturization of the volume of the driving mechanism 100.
[0114] In addition, when the circuit component F is inserted into the groove R, the magnetic field sensing element HS on the circuit component F can be placed against the edge of the protruding structure P and adjacent to the glue groove PR on the protruding structure P. This not only improves the positioning accuracy between the circuit component F and the shell H, but also the aforementioned glue groove PR can help contain glue to ensure that the circuit component F and the shell H can be tightly adhered to each other.
[0115] Please also read Fig.10 and Fig.11 ,in Fig.10 Indicates along Figure 3 The cross-sectional view of the line segment A1-A2 in Fig.11 Indicates along Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of line segment A3-A4 in FIG.
[0116] from Figure 1 and Fig.10 It can be seen that a retaining wall BP is formed on one side of the base B, wherein when the driving mechanism 100 is hit by external force, the retaining wall BP and the protruding structure P located on the inner side of the shell H can contact and block the carrier LH to prevent the carrier LH from directly colliding with the circuit component F and causing damage to the circuit component F.
[0117] like Fig.10 As shown, the side wall portion h, the reinforcing sheet S, the circuit assembly F and the blocking wall BP are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction), and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the optical axis O.
[0118] In addition, the protruding structure P and the blocking wall BP at least partially overlap in the optical axis O direction.
[0119] In addition, from Fig.10 It can be seen that when viewed along the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction), a portion of the circuit component F protrudes downward from the reinforcing sheet S without overlapping the reinforcing sheet S.
[0120] It should be particularly noted that, by embedding a reinforcing sheet S on the inner side of the shell H, this embodiment can not only significantly improve the structural strength of the shell H, but also the aforementioned reinforcing sheet S can provide a shielding effect for the circuit component F and the magnetic field sensing element HS disposed on the circuit component F, so as to prevent the magnetic field sensing element HS from being affected by the magnetic elements outside the driving mechanism 100 and reducing its sensing accuracy.
[0121] On the other hand, from Fig.11 It can be seen that a coil C is provided on the opposite side of the carrier LH, and a magnetic element M (such as a magnet) corresponding to the aforementioned coil C is provided on the inner side of the shell H. When a current signal is applied to the aforementioned coil C, the magnetic force generated between the coil C and the magnetic element M can drive the carrier LH and the optical element disposed therein to move relative to the base B and the shell H along the optical axis O direction (Z-axis direction) to achieve the function of auto focus (AF) or optical image stabilization (OIS).
[0122] Please also refer to Fig.12 , 13 and Fig.14 ,in Fig.12A schematic diagram showing that the carrier LH and the coil C are arranged in the housing H, Fig.13 A partial three-dimensional enlarged view showing that the magnetic field sensing element HS is against the edge of the protruding structure P, Fig.14 A schematic diagram showing that the retaining wall BP is formed with a first section BP1, a second section BP2 and a third section BP3.
[0123] like Fig.12 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, two of the electronic components E on the circuit assembly F at least partially overlap in the direction of the optical axis O (Z axis), and at least one of the aforementioned electronic components E is inclined relative to the optical axis O (Z axis), thereby being able to effectively utilize the space inside the shell H to promote the miniaturization of the volume of the driving mechanism 100.
[0124] In addition, from Fig.13 and Fig.14 It can be seen that the magnetic field sensing element HS on the circuit component F will abut against one end face (edge) of the protruding structure P and be adjacent to the glue groove PR on the protruding structure P after assembly. This not only improves the positioning accuracy between the circuit component F and the shell H, but also the aforementioned glue groove PR can help contain glue to ensure that the circuit component F and the shell H can be tightly adhered to each other.
[0125] It should be noted that the retaining wall BP in this embodiment is formed with a first section BP1, a second section BP2 and a third section BP3 ( Fig.14 ), wherein the third section BP3 is located between the first and second sections BP1 and BP2, and the third section BP3 forms a recessed area between the first and second sections BP1 and BP2 that is recessed toward the outside of the base B. Correspondingly, the third boss P3 in the aforementioned protruding structure P forms a recessed area between the first and second bosses P1 and P2 that is recessed toward the outside of the housing H.
[0126] Specifically, when the driving mechanism 100 is hit by external force, the third boss P3 of the aforementioned protruding structure P and / or the third section BP3 of the retaining wall BP can contact and block the protrusion LH1 on the carrier LH, thereby limiting the carrier LH (movable part) to an extreme position in the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction), thereby preventing the carrier LH from directly hitting the circuit component F and causing damage to the circuit component F.
[0127] In addition, the first and second bosses P1, P2 of the aforementioned protruding structure P and / or the first and second sections BP1, BP2 of the retaining wall BP can also be used to contact and block the bump LH1 on the carrier LH, thereby further protecting the circuit component F to prevent the carrier LH from directly hitting the circuit component F and causing damage to the circuit component F.
[0128] In this embodiment, the distance between the third section BP3 and the carrier LH is greater than the distance between the third boss P3 and the carrier LH, and the distance between the third section BP3 and the carrier LH is different from the distance between the first and second sections BP1, BP2 and the carrier LH.
