The Y-axis direction, the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction are perpendicular to each other. The incident light of the prism is incident from the front of the X-axis direction. The roller type prism drive structure includes an X-axis rotating piece for supporting the prism, a Z-axis rotating piece for supporting the X-axis rotating piece, an X-axis magnet and an X-axis coil for driving the X-axis rotating piece to rotate around the Y-axis direction relative to a base, and a Z-axis magnet and a Z-axis coil for driving the Z-axis rotating piece to rotate around the Z-axis direction relative to the base. The base supports the Z-axis rotating piece through a Z-axis roller. The Z-axis rotating piece supports the X-axis rotating piece through two X-axis rollers.
[0006] The introduction of metal rollers as a replacement for traditional plastic shafts is not just a simple material change, but a fundamental reshaping of the system's core operating mechanism. The roller, with its unique dual identity as both a reliable rotating axis and a stable support component, successfully breaks through the traditional design bottleneck.

It is worth mentioning that the roller can be coated with a layer of fine lubricating grease, which can significantly reduce material wear under long-term operation.

It is worth mentioning that the roller can be coated with a layer of fine lubricating grease, which can significantly reduce material wear under long-term operation.
[0032] The X-axis rotating part and the Z-axis rotating part are nested and connected, and the two can rotate relative to each other at a certain angle.
