The carrier 2 is located above the base 1 and between the two side plates 12, and the carrier 2 can move in a vertical direction. The carrier 2 is used to install a lens, and the optical axis direction of the lens is also in a vertical direction, so the carrier 2 can drive the lens to focus when moving in a vertical direction. The upper spring leaf 4 is elastic and is located on the top of the carrier 2, and the shell 6 covers the carrier 2, the upper spring leaf 4, and the outer sides of the side plates 12 and is connected to the bottom plate 11 and the upper spring leaf 4.

[0044] The upper spring 4 is elastic and connected to the top of the carrier 2 and the inner wall of the housing 6 .

[0045] The reed is used to connect the carrier 2 and the base 1, and is generally arranged below the carrier 2, and is defined as the lower reed 3. The lower reed 3 is also elastic and can support the carrier 2. The lower reed 3 and the upper reed 4 can cooperate to drive the carrier 2 to move and then reset.

[0046] The lower spring sheet 3 includes a plurality of spring wires 31 and an electrode sheet 32 ​​connected to one of the spring wires 31 .

[0047] Specifically, the plurality of spring wires 31 are elastic and conductive, and the spring wires 31 are located at the bottom of the carrier 2 and are connected to the bottom of the carrier 2 and the bottom plate 11. The electrode sheet 32 ​​is a sheet-like structure, and the bottom end is connected to the spring wire 31, and the top end extends in the vertical direction. The electrode sheet 32 ​​can be attached to the outside of the carrier 2, and the electrode sheet 32 ​​can be energized through the spring wire 31, and the spring wire 31 can be directly connected to the built-in circuit 13 in the base 1, and no additional circuit is required to energize the electrode sheet 32. In addition, the electrode sheet 32 ​​can be directly attached to the outside of the carrier 2, and does not need to be embedded in the carrier 2, which is convenient for installation.

[0048] The electrode sheet 32 ​​can cooperate with the inductive sheet 14 of the base 1 to form a capacitor, which will be described in detail below.

[0049] The utility model directly connects the electrode sheet 32 ​​and the lower spring sheet 3, and the lower spring sheet 3 can be electrically connected to the built-in circuit 13 of the base 1. After the built-in circuit 13 of the base 1 is energized, the electrode sheet 32 ​​can be powered through the lower spring sheet 3. In addition, the electrode sheet 32 ​​can be directly installed on the outside of the carrier 2 and cooperate with the induction sheet 14 of the base 1, and the processing and assembly are very convenient.

[0050] The electrode sheet 32 ​​and one of the spring wires 31 are also preferably formed in one piece, which facilitates the overall processing of the lower spring sheet 3. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the electrode sheet 32 ​​is an integral L-shape, and the electrode sheet 32 ​​includes two metal sheets forming an L-shape, one of which is located at the bottom of the carrier 2 and connected to the spring wire 31, and the other is attached to the outside of the carrier 2. When the carrier 2 is stationary, the metal sheet located on the outside of the carrier 2 and the induction sheet 14 are relative to each other to form a capacitor. When the carrier 2 moves in the vertical direction, the entire electrode sheet 32 ​​can be driven to move in the vertical direction, so that the capacitance of the capacitor changes, and the displacement of the carrier 2 can be detected according to the change in the capacitance of the capacitor.

[0051] The utility model also relates to a base 1 and a metal frame inside the base 1. Specifically, the metal frame includes a built-in circuit 13 and the above-mentioned induction sheet 14.

[0052] The built-in circuit 13 has a plurality of connection ends, some of which extend to the outside of the base 1 for electrical connection with an external power source. In addition, the built-in circuit 13 can also be electrically connected to the lower spring sheet 3 to supply power to the electrode sheet 32.

[0053] The induction sheet 14 is also in the shape of a thin sheet and is formed integrally with the built-in circuit 13. Specifically, the induction sheet 14 is formed by bending and extending the built-in circuit 13 upward. The induction sheet 14 is used to cooperate with the electrode sheet 32 ​​to form a capacitor.

The multiple sensing sheets 14 can be arranged in a vertical direction and electrically connected to the built-in circuits 13 respectively.

[0055] In the metal frame of the present invention, the sensor sheet 14 and the built-in circuit are integrally formed and installed in the base 1, which can reduce the assembly process of the sensor sheet 14 and directly embed the entire metal frame into the base 1 by injection molding.

[0056] The bottom plate 11 of the base 1 is in a rectangular plate shape, and the two side plates 12 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the bottom plate 11 and are located at the edges of the bottom plate 11 .

[0058] The sensor sheet 14 is located in one of the side plates 12 and preferably fits the inner side of the side plate 12 , or is embedded into the side plate 12 from the inner side of the side plate 12 with one side exposed to the inner side of the side plate 12 and arranged opposite to the electrode sheet 32 ​​.

[0061] The bottom plate 11 is further provided with four avoidance holes 17, which are respectively located at four sides of the bottom plate 11 and vertically penetrate the bottom plate 11. The four avoidance holes 17 can reduce the weight of the base 1 and can also avoid magnetic field lines.

[0062] In some embodiments, the lens focusing device 10 of the present invention also needs to cooperate with an external anti-shake device, which is generally arranged below the base 1, and a magnet is installed on the anti-shake device, through which the magnet cooperates with the coil group 21 of the carrier 2. If the bottom plate 11 is set in an integral plate shape, it will block the magnetic field lines of the magnet of the anti-shake device, and the avoidance hole 17 of the bottom plate 11 can avoid the magnetic field lines of the magnet of the anti-shake device, thereby enhancing the driving force formed by the magnet and the coil group 21.

[0063] Furthermore, the built-in circuit 13 is distributed at the edge of the bottom plate 11 , for example, can be distributed below the side plate 12 . The avoidance hole 17 is located inside the built-in circuit 13 and below the carrier 2 .

The avoidance hole 17 is located on the inner side of the two magnets and the two side plates 12, so that the magnetic field lines of the anti-shake device can pass through the avoidance hole 17.

[0065] A coil group 21 is disposed outside the carrier 2 . The coil group 21 and the magnet group 5 are arranged opposite to each other. The coil group 21 and the magnet group 5 cooperate to drive the carrier 2 to move in the vertical direction.

[0066] The coil assembly 21 is also electrically connected to the lower spring leaf 3 , and the lower spring leaf 3 is electrically connected to the built-in circuit 13 in the base 1 , that is, the built-in circuit 13 can energize the coil assembly 21 through the lower spring leaf 3 , and there is no need to arrange additional circuits for the coil assembly 21 .

[0067] As a preferred solution, the top surface of the bottom plate 11 is further provided with four bosses 16; the four bosses 16 are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom plate 11, and the spring wire 31 of the lower spring leaf 3 is connected to the top surface of the bosses 16. The bosses 16 protrude from the top surface of the bottom plate 11, and the spring wire 31 of the lower spring leaf 3 is connected to the bosses 16, which can support the carrier 2, so that the carrier 2 and the lower spring leaf 3 are both suspended above the bottom plate 11 to prevent the carrier 2 from touching the bottom plate 11 during movement, and on the other hand, to provide sufficient space for the deformation of the lower spring leaf 3. The preferred embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, but it should be understood that, if necessary, aspects of the embodiments can be modified to adopt aspects, features and concepts of various patents, applications and publications to provide other embodiments.
