This design reduces the overall thickness of the optical actuator, making it possible to miniaturize and increase the precision of the projection equipment.
[0004] However, this patent still has the following problems: since the coil is tightly arranged between the optical galvanometer fixture and the circuit board, and the minimum geometric dimension design along the thickness direction limits the heat dissipation area, the coil temperature may rise after long-term operation, affecting the performance and stability of the optical actuator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a precision light and thin optical actuator includes a base 1, a coil 2, a planar suspension spring 5 and a circuit board 6. The base 1 is provided with a first light hole 11, a side of the first light hole 11 is provided with a positioning groove 12, and the coil 2 is arranged at the positioning groove 12; a second light opening 21 is provided in the coil 2, an optical glass 3 is provided in the second light opening 21, and a magnet 4 is provided on the outer side wall of the optical glass 3;
[0022] The planar suspension shrapnel 5 is arranged on the top of the optical glass 3 ; the planar suspension shrapnel 5 is made of stainless steel with a thickness of 0.08 mm and is formed by etching with an accuracy of ±0.01 mm. The optical glass 3 is installed in the etching groove of the planar suspension shrapnel 5 .
[0023] The base 1 is provided with a chamfered boss 13, the chamfered boss 13 is provided with a positioning column 14, the planar suspension spring 5 is provided with a positioning hole 55, the positioning column 14 is adapted to the positioning hole 55; fixed by glue dispensing; the circuit board 6 is connected to the coil 2 and provides power.
[0024] Through the coordinated action of the base 1, the plane suspension shrapnel 5, the optical glass 3, the magnet 4 and the coil 2, the optical glass 3 is quickly and accurately deflected on the virtual X and Y axes. This design not only improves the flexibility and response speed of the optical system, but also significantly reduces the volume and weight of the overall device, making it more suitable for application scenarios with strict space requirements;
[0025] The coil 2 is composed of two layers of upper and lower monomer coils 2, and the magnet 4 is composed of two layers of upper and lower monomer magnets 4. The upper and lower layers of monomer coils 2 correspond to the installation positions of the upper and lower layers of monomer magnets 4. The upper layer of monomer coils 2 is controlled to rotate along the Y axis, and the lower layer of monomer coils 2 is controlled to rotate along the X axis. A racetrack-shaped inner ring 22 is arranged in the middle of the coil 2, and the racetrack-shaped inner ring 22 is adapted to the positioning groove 12. The magnet 4 and the coil 2 are installed at the same horizontal position and do not contact each other. When the coil 2 is energized, it forms a magnetic device with the magnet 4.
[0026] The accuracy of installation is ensured by matching the runway-shaped inner ring 22 with the positioning groove 12 of the base 1. The coil 2 and the magnet 4 are installed at the same horizontal position and do not touch each other, avoiding potential interference. At the same time, the coil 2 is divided into two layers of upper and lower single coils 2, which improves the utilization rate of the coil 2 and increases the torque. At the same time, by designing the position of the magnet to correspond to the position of the coil 2, the efficient operation of the magnetic device is ensured. The upper and lower two single magnets 4 correspond to the two single coils 2, which further improves the torque and ensures the balance of the opposite sides of the torque.
[0027] The plane suspension spring piece 5 includes a frame body 51, a third light hole 52 is arranged in the middle of the frame body 51, and positioning holes 55 are arranged at the four corners of the frame body 51; the frame body 51 is externally connected with an elastic unit, and the elastic unit includes a cantilever 53 and a connecting arm 54, the positioning hole 55 is arranged on the cantilever 53, and the connecting arms 54 are connected to each other, and the frame body 51 is connected to the cantilever 53.

[0028] A mounting surface 7 is disposed at the end of the base 1 , and the circuit board 6 is disposed on the mounting surface 7 .
[0029] Since the heat generated by the coil 2 during operation will be transferred to the surface of the base 1 , the installation surface 7 is provided to effectively avoid the direct influence of the heat on the circuit board 6 , thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the connection of the circuit board 6 .
[0030] The mounting surface 7 is provided with a mounting hole 71 , and the mounting hole 71 is used for mounting on an optical machine.
[0031] The working principle of the utility model: when the current flows to the coil 2 through the pad of the circuit board 6, a magnetic field is generated inside the coil 2. According to Ampere's law, when the current flows in the wire, a magnetic field will be generated around it. Since the coil 2 is divided into two layers, each layer of the coil 2 controls a different axis. The upper layer controls the Y axis, and the lower layer controls the X axis. When the upper layer of the single coil 2 is energized, the generated Lorentz force will cause the planar suspension shrapnel 5 and the optical glass 3 thereon to deflect around the virtual Y axis; similarly, when the lower layer of the single coil 2 is energized, the planar suspension shrapnel 5 will deflect around the virtual X axis. Since the upper and lower layers of the single coil 2 correspond to the upper and lower layers of the single magnets 4, the generated torsion is balanced on the opposite sides, which increases the effect of the Ampere force and reduces product loss.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical method of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical method of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical method of the utility model.
