Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an optical component driving mechanism, and more particularly to an optical component driving mechanism with a piezoelectric component. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, many electronic devices today (such as smartphones) have the function of taking pictures or recording videos. Through the camera module set on the electronic device, users can operate the electronic device to capture all kinds of photos.

[0003] The design of modern electronic devices is constantly trending towards miniaturization, necessitating the continuous reduction in the size and structure of various components in camera modules to achieve this goal. Generally, the drive mechanism in a camera module may include a lens mount to support a lens, and the drive mechanism may have autofocus or optical image stabilization functions. However, while existing drive mechanisms can achieve the aforementioned photographic or video recording functions, they still cannot meet all requirements.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a camera module that can quickly locate and perform multiple functions is a topic worthy of discussion and solution today. Utility Model Content

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of an optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The optical component driving mechanism 10 may be an optical imaging system configured to carry and drive a camera module 150. The optical component driving mechanism 10 can be installed in various electronic devices or portable electronic devices, such as smart TVs or laptops, to allow users to perform image capture functions.

[0038] In this embodiment, the optical component driving mechanism 10 may have the aforementioned first optical module 100 and a second optical module 200. The second optical module 200 is disposed on the first optical module 100 and is configured to carry the camera module 150.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the first optical module 100, the first optical module 100 includes a fixed component FA, a first movable part 108, a first driving component DA1, and a first rotating component 120. The fixed component FA includes a first base 112, and the first movable part 108 is configured to be movably connected to the first base 112 along a main axis MX.

[0040] The first movable part 108 is configured to be connected to the second optical module 200, and the first movable part 108 is movable relative to the fixed component FA. Furthermore, the first drive component DA1 is configured to drive the first movable part 108 to move relative to the fixed component FA.

[0041] Specifically, the first movable part 108 is movably connected to the first base 112 via the first rotating assembly 120, and the first driving assembly DA1 drives the first movable part 108 to move via the first rotating assembly 120. Specifically, the first movable part 108 can rotate about a first rotating axis RX1. In this embodiment, the first rotating axis RX1 overlaps with the main shaft MX, but is not limited thereto.

[0042] On the other hand, the second optical module 200 may include a second movable part 208, a second base 212, and a second driving component DA2. The second base 212 is fixedly disposed on the first movable part 108, and the second movable part 208 is movable relative to the second base 212. In this embodiment, the first movable part 108 and the second base 212 may be integrally formed.

[0043] Furthermore, the second optical module 200 may further include a second rotating component 220 and a fixed shaft 230, and the second movable part 208 is movably connected to the second base 212 via the second rotating component 220 and the fixed shaft 230.

[0044] The fixed shaft 230 passes through the second base 212 and the second rotating assembly 220, and the second drive assembly DA2 drives the second movable part 208 to move through the second rotating assembly 220. Specifically, the second movable part 208 can rotate about a second rotating axis RX2, and the second rotating axis RX2 can be defined by the fixed shaft 230. The second rotating axis RX2 can be perpendicular to the first rotating axis RX1, for example, but is not limited thereto.

[0045] Please refer to the following: Figures 2 to 4 . Figure 3 This is a top view of a portion of the structure of a first optical module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4This is a rear view of a portion of the structure of a first optical module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The first optical module 100 further includes a first positioning seat 109 configured to be connected to a first base 112, and a first driving component DA1 configured to be fixed to the first positioning seat 109.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first base 112 can be defined with a first axis AX1 and a second axis AX2, and the second axis AX2 is perpendicular to the first axis AX1.

[0047] Furthermore, the first optical module 100 may further include a first connecting component LA1, configured to connect the first driving component DA1 and the first positioning seat 109 to the first base 112. Wherein, as Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting component LA1 includes a first connecting component 106, which is, for example, a screw, but is not limited thereto.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting component 106 is extendable along the first axis AX1 and configured to pass through the first positioning seat 109 and the first drive component DA1 to connect the first positioning seat 109 and the first drive component DA1. For example, the first connecting component 106 passes through the first drive component DA1 and is locked into a first positioning hole 1091 in the first positioning seat 109.

[0049] Next, the first positioning seat 109 and the first drive assembly DA1 are mounted on a mounting portion 112D of the first base 112 along the first axis AX1. Specifically, as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the mounting portion 112D of the first base 112 may have a first receiving space AS1, configured to receive at least a portion of the first drive assembly DA1 and the first positioning seat 109.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first positioning seat 109 has a first side protrusion 1092 and a second side protrusion 1093. Correspondingly, the first base 112 may form a first guide groove 1121 and a second guide groove 1122, configured to guide the first side protrusion 1092 and the second side protrusion 1093 respectively.

[0051] When viewed along the first axis AX1 (Y-axis), as Figure 4 As shown, the first side protrusion 1092 has a first corresponding surface 1094, a second corresponding surface 1095, and a first end portion 1096. The first end portion 1096 is connected between the first corresponding surface 1094 and the second corresponding surface 1095.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the first lateral protrusion 1092 has a generally triangular structure, and the included angle between the first corresponding surface 1094 and the second corresponding surface 1095 is less than 60 degrees, but is not limited thereto.

[0053] Furthermore, the first guide groove 1121 has a third corresponding surface 1123, a fourth corresponding surface 1124, and a second end portion 1125. The second end portion 1125 is connected between the third corresponding surface 1123 and the fourth corresponding surface 1124. The third corresponding surface 1123 is configured to correspond to the first corresponding surface 1094, the fourth corresponding surface 1124 is configured to correspond to the second corresponding surface 1095, and the second end portion 1125 does not contact the first end portion 1096.

[0054] That is, there is a gap between the second end portion 1125 and the first end portion 1096. Similarly, there is also a gap between the second side protrusion 1093 and the second guide groove 1122. In addition, there is also a gap between the third corresponding surface 1123 and the first corresponding surface 1094, and there is also a gap between the fourth corresponding surface 1124 and the second corresponding surface 1095. Based on this structural configuration, it can be ensured that the first positioning seat 109 can be smoothly installed in the mounting portion 112D.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, the second side protrusion 1093 is symmetrical to the first side protrusion 1092, and the second guide groove 1122 is symmetrical to the first guide groove 1121. Therefore, the second side protrusion 1093, the second guide groove 1122 and the first side protrusion 1092 and the first guide groove 1121 have the same structure, which will not be described again here.

[0056] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connecting component LA1 further includes a second connecting component 110, configured to connect the first positioning seat 109 and the first base 112. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting component 110 has an elastic material, such as an elastic spring, but is not limited thereto.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting assembly 110 has a first connecting end 1101, a second connecting end 1102, two first flexible portions 1103, and a third connecting end 1104. The first connecting end 1101 and the third connecting end 1104 are fixedly connected to the mounting portion 112D of the first base 112, and the second connecting end 1102 is fixedly connected to the first positioning seat 109.

[0058] One of the two first flexible portions 1103 is connected between the first connecting end 1101 and the second connecting end 1102, while the other is connected between the third connecting end 1104 and the second connecting end 1102.

[0059] Specifically, the first base 112 has a first fixing protrusion BP1, a second fixing protrusion BP2, a third fixing protrusion BP3, and a fourth fixing protrusion BP4. The first connecting end 1101 has a first mounting hole HP1 and a second mounting hole HP2, which are respectively fitted onto the first fixing protrusion BP1 and the second fixing protrusion BP2.

[0060] When viewed along the first axis AX1, the size of the first mounting hole HP1 is slightly larger than the size of the first fixing protrusion BP1, for example, by 1.05 times. When viewed along the first axis AX1, the size of the second mounting hole HP2 is larger than the size of the second fixing protrusion BP2, for example, by 1.5 times. When viewed along the first axis AX1, the second mounting hole HP2 has an elongated structure extending along the second axis AX2.

[0061] Similarly, the third connecting end 1104 has a third mounting hole HP3 and a fourth mounting hole HP4, which are respectively fitted onto the third fixing protrusion BP3 and the fourth fixing protrusion BP4. When viewed along the first axial direction AX1, the size of the third mounting hole HP3 is approximately equal to the size of the third fixing protrusion BP3 (within the tolerance range). When viewed along the first axial direction AX1, the size of the fourth mounting hole HP4 is slightly larger than the size of the fourth fixing protrusion BP4, for example, by 1.05 times.

[0062] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first positioning seat 109 may have a central fixed protrusion 109P that passes through the second connecting end 1102. Because the second connecting component 110 is elastic, the first flexible portion 1103 and the second connecting end 1102 generate an elastic restoring force on the first positioning seat 109 to push the first positioning seat 109 and the first driving component DA1, so that the first driving component DA1 can reliably contact the first rotating component 120, thereby correctly driving the first rotating component 120. In this embodiment, the elastic restoring force (preload) is, for example, less than or equal to 100 grams, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] In addition, such as Figure 4As shown, the first connecting end 1101 has a first side notch 1101C, and the third connecting end 1104 has a second side notch 1104C, the shapes and sizes of which correspond to the first guide groove 1121 and the second guide groove 1122, respectively. Based on this configuration, the position of the first positioning seat 109 can be easily adjusted, and the purpose of weight reduction can also be further achieved.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the second guide groove 1122 (or the first guide groove 1121) may have a first depth DT1 on the first axial direction AX1, and the first positioning seat 109 may have a first width WT1 on the first axial direction AX1.

[0065] The first depth DT1 is greater than the first width WT1, meaning there is enough space to adjust the position of the first positioning seat 109 on the mounting part 112D so that the first drive component DA1 can reliably contact the first rotating component 120, thereby correctly driving the first rotating component 120.

[0066] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first drive assembly DA1 includes a first transmission assembly 104, a first contact 105, and a first power source 114. The first power source 114 is configured to generate a first driving force, and the first transmission assembly 104 is configured to transmit the first driving force.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first conductive component 104 has an elastic structure that can flex to output a first driving force. Specifically, the first power source 114 may be a first piezoelectric component configured to deform to push the first conductive component 104, so that the first conductive component 104 flexes to output the first driving force.

[0068] The first contact 105 has a semi-cylindrical structure and is fixedly disposed on the first conductive assembly 104, configured to transmit a first driving force. The first rotating assembly 120 is disposed on the first base 112, and a portion of the first rotating assembly 120 is configured to move relative to the first contact 105.

[0069] Specifically, when the first conductive component 104 flexes, it can drive the first contact 105 to move around an elliptical trajectory (when viewed along the main axis MX, as shown in the image). Figure 3 As shown), it repeatedly contacts and drives a portion of the first rotating component 120 to move. The operation of the first conductive component 104 and the first contact member 105 can be found in Chinese Patent Application No. 202420942976.X, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0070] It is worth noting that, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first receiving space AS1 may have a first clearance space AP1 corresponding to the first conductive component 104. The first clearance space AP1 is, for example, an opening, and a portion of the first conductive component 104 is located within the first clearance space AP1. Based on the configuration of the first clearance space AP1, the problem of damage caused by the first conductive component 104 colliding with the first base 112 when it flexes can be avoided.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the first rotating assembly 120 is a positioning protrusion 112P sleeved on the first base 112, and the first rotating assembly 120 has a first stator 121, a first rotor 122, and a plurality of first balls 123. The first stator 121 is located between the positioning protrusion 112P and the first rotor 122, and the first balls 123 are located between the first stator 121 and the first rotor 122, so that the first rotor 122 can rotate relative to the first stator 121.

[0072] The first movable part 108 is fixedly connected to the first rotor 122, and the first contact member 105 drives the first rotor 122 to rotate relative to the first stator 121 about the first axis RX1 according to the aforementioned first driving force, so that the first movable part 108 drives the second optical module 200 to rotate about the first axis RX1. The first axis RX1 may be defined by the positioning protrusion 112P.

[0073] Next, refer to Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 7 . Figure 5 This is a perspective view of a portion of the structure of the optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 This is a perspective view of a portion of the structure of the optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, taken from another angle. Figure 7 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the optical component driving mechanism 10 along... Figure 1 Cross-sectional view of the midline segment AA.

[0074] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first optical module 100 may further include a first circuit assembly 116, an integrated circuit assembly 130, and an external circuit assembly 132. The first circuit assembly 116 and the integrated circuit assembly 130 are fixedly disposed on the first base 112, and the first circuit assembly 116 can be electrically connected to an external circuit via the integrated circuit assembly 130 and the external circuit assembly 132.

[0075] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the first circuit assembly 116 has a first segment 1161, a second segment 1162, a third segment 1163, and a fourth segment 1164. The positioning protrusion 112P has a top surface 112T and a side wall 112L. The first segment 1161 and the second segment 1162 are respectively fixed to the top surface 112T and the side wall 112L.

[0076] The third segment 1163 is connected between the second segment 1162 and the fourth segment 1164, and the fourth segment 1164 is bent from the third segment 1163 and electrically connected to the integrated circuit assembly 130. Specifically, as Figure 6 As shown, a first connector CN1 is provided on the integrated circuit assembly 130, configured to connect to the fourth segment 1164.

[0077] The first base 112 further has a communicating opening 112H, and the second segment 1162 is formed by bending the third segment 1163 and passing through the communicating opening 112H before connecting to the first segment 1161. The communicating opening 112H extends through the first base 112 along the main axis MX.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, the first segment 1161 has a first positioning hole 1165, and the positioning protrusion 112P further has a first mounting protrusion FP1 that passes through the first positioning hole 1165. When viewed along the main axis MX (Z-axis), the first mounting protrusion FP1 and the first positioning hole 1165 have a semi-circular structure.

[0079] Based on the semi-circular structural design, the first segment 1161 can be correctly positioned. In addition, adhesive (not shown in the figure) can be applied between the first segment 1161 and the top surface 112T, and adhesive can also be applied between the second segment 1162 and the side wall 112L, so as to securely fix the first segment 1161 and the second segment 1162 to the top surface 112T and the side wall 112L, respectively.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the third segment 1163 has a second positioning hole 1166 and a third positioning hole 1167. Correspondingly, the first base 112 further has a second mounting protrusion FP2 and a third mounting protrusion FP3, which extend along the main shaft MX and pass through the second positioning hole 1166 and the third positioning hole 1167 respectively.

[0081] When viewed along the main axis MX, as Figure 5 As shown, the size of the second positioning hole 1166 is larger than the size of the second mounting protrusion FP2, for example, by 1.5 times. When viewed along the spindle MX, the second positioning hole 1166 has an elongated structure extending along the first axis AX1.

[0082] When viewed along the spindle MX, the size of the third locating hole 1167 is slightly larger than the size of the third mounting protrusion FP3, for example, by 1.05 times. The third locating hole 1167 has a circular structure when viewed along the spindle MX.

[0083] Based on the design of the first positioning hole 1165, the second positioning hole 1166 and the third positioning hole 1167, the first circuit assembly 116 can be more easily installed on the first base 112.

[0084] It is also worth noting that two first electrical contacts EC1 may be formed on the third section 1163, configured to be electrically connected to the first power source 114. When viewed along the spindle MX, these first electrical contacts EC1 are exposed from the first base 112 to facilitate soldering to the leads WR1 and WR2 of the first power source 114.

[0085] like Figure 4 As shown, the first positioning seat 109 may have two notches 1098, and the two leads WR1 and WR2 of the first power source 114 (as shown) Figure 5 (As shown) It can be pulled out to the first electrical contact EC1 through the two notches 1098.

[0086] In addition, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the first optical module 100 further includes a first magnetic component MG1, and the first magnetic component MG1 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the first movable part 108.

[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, when viewed along the main axis MX, the positioning protrusion 112P has a first notch 112C. When viewed along the main axis MX, the first magnetic component MG1 has a second notch MG11, corresponding to the first notch 112C.

[0088] The first notch 112C is connected to the aforementioned connecting opening 112H. Based on the configuration of the first notch 112C, the second segment 1162 can easily extend out of the connecting opening 112H and be easily installed on the side wall 112L.

[0089] Furthermore, based on the configuration of the missing corner MG11, it can be ensured that when the first magnetic component MG1 is installed in the first movable part 108, the arrangement direction of the magnetic poles of the first magnetic component MG1 is correct, and there will be no problem of installation error.

[0090] Next, as Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the first optical module 100 further includes a first sensing component SE1 disposed on the first segment 1161. Specifically, the first sensing component SE1 is accommodated in a receiving groove 112R of the positioning protrusion 112P and is located at the bottom of the first segment 1161.

[0091] like Figure 7 As shown, when viewed along the second axis AX2 (X-axis), the first sensing component SE1 and the first magnetic component MG1 are located on opposite sides of the first segment 1161. Based on the above configuration, the first optical module 100 can be miniaturized.

[0092] The first sensing component SE1 is configured to sense changes in the magnetic field of the first magnetic component MG1 to obtain the position of the first movable part 108 relative to the first base 112. In this embodiment, the first sensing component SE1 is, for example, a Hall sensor or a tunneling magnetoresistive sensor (TMR sensor), but is not limited thereto. It is worth noting that, as Figure 3 As shown, the first sensing component SE1 has a rectangular structure, with its long side parallel to the second axis AX2, and the magnetic poles of the first magnetic component MG1 are also arranged in a direction parallel to the second axis AX2.

[0093] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first base 112 may further have a first receiving surface 1120 disposed in the first receiving space AS1, configured to support a portion of the first positioning seat 109, and the first clearance space AP1 is adjacent to the first receiving surface 1120. In this embodiment, when viewed along the main axis MX, the area of ​​the first receiving surface 1120 may be less than or equal to the area of ​​the first positioning seat 109.

[0094] It should also be noted that the first circuit assembly 116 may be, for example, a flexible circuit board and may have six embedded lines. The first power source 114 may be electrically connected to two of these lines via two first electrical contacts EC1, and the other four lines may be utilized by the first sensing component SE1. Similarly, the external circuit assembly 132 may also be a flexible circuit board and may have 12 embedded lines, six of which are electrically connected to the six lines of the first circuit assembly 116.

[0095] Please continue to refer to the following. Figure 8 . Figure 8 The above view shows the first movable part 108 driven to different positions according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the mounting part 112D of the first base 112 further includes a first stop 141 and a second stop 142.

[0096] The first stop portion 141 and the second stop portion 142 are, for example, chamfered structures, and the first stop portion 141 and the second stop portion 142 may be made of plastic material, but are not limited thereto.

[0097] like Figure 8 As shown, when the first movable part 108 is driven by the first drive assembly DA1 to rotate along a first rotation direction RD1 (clockwise rotation), the first movable part 108 is configured to abut against the first stop part 141. When the first movable part 108 abuts against the first stop part 141, the position of the first movable part 108 can be referred to as a first extreme position P1.

[0098] Conversely, when the first movable part 108 is driven by the first drive assembly DA1 to rotate along a second rotation direction RD2, the first movable part 108 is configured to abut against the second stop part 142. When the first movable part 108 abuts against the second stop part 142, the position of the first movable part 108 can be referred to as a second extreme position P2. The second rotation direction RD2 is opposite to the first rotation direction RD1.

[0099] Please refer to the following: Figure 2 , Figures 7 to 9 . Figure 9 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of an optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the first optical module 100, the second optical module 200 may further include the aforementioned second driving component DA2 and a second positioning seat 209.

[0100] The second positioning seat 209 is fixedly disposed on the second base 212, and the second optical module 200 further includes a second connecting component LA2, configured to connect the second driving component DA2 and the second positioning seat 209 to the second base 212 and the first movable part 108.

[0101] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second connecting component LA2 includes a third connecting component 206 configured to connect the second positioning seat 209 and the second drive component DA2. For example, the third connecting component 206 is a screw that passes through the second drive component DA2 and locks into a second positioning hole 2091 of the second positioning seat 209.

[0102] It is worth noting that the extension direction of the third connecting component 206 is parallel to the extension direction of the first connecting component 106. Therefore, this configuration can increase the ease of installation of the first optical module 100 and the second optical module 200.

[0103] Next, the second positioning seat 209 and the second drive assembly DA2 are mounted on the second base 212 along the first axis AX1. Figure 7 and Figure 9As shown, the second base 212 may further have a second receiving space AS2 configured to receive at least a portion of the second positioning seat 209 and the second drive assembly DA2. The second receiving space AS2 may be, for example, a recess, but is not limited thereto.

[0104] Similar to the first optical module 100, in this embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, the second positioning seat 209 has a third side protrusion 2092 and a fourth side protrusion 2093. Correspondingly, the second base 212 may form a third guide groove 2121 and a fourth guide groove 2122, configured to guide the third side protrusion 2092 and the fourth side protrusion 2093 respectively.

[0105] Furthermore, the fourth side protrusion 2093 is symmetrical to the third side protrusion 2092, and the fourth guide groove 2122 is symmetrical to the third guide groove 2121. Since the structural configurations of the third side protrusion 2092 and the fourth side protrusion 2093 are the same as or similar to those of the first side protrusion 1092 and the second side protrusion 1093, and the structural configurations of the third guide groove 2121 and the fourth guide groove 2122 are the same as or similar to those of the first guide groove 1121 and the second guide groove 1122, their specific structures will not be described in detail here.

[0106] Next, the second connecting component LA2 may further include a fourth connecting component 210 configured to connect the second positioning seat 209 and the second base 212. The fourth connecting component 210 has an elastic material, such as an elastic spring, but is not limited thereto.

[0107] The fourth connecting assembly 210 has a fourth connecting end 2101, a fifth connecting end 2102, two second flexible portions 2103, and a sixth connecting end 2104. The fourth connecting end 2101 and the sixth connecting end 2104 are fixedly connected to the second base 212, and the fifth connecting end 2102 is fixedly connected to the second positioning seat 209.

[0108] One of the two second flexible portions 2103 is connected between the fourth connecting end 2101 and the fifth connecting end 2102, and the other is connected between the sixth connecting end 2104 and the fifth connecting end 2102.

[0109] Specifically, the second base 212 has a fifth fixing protrusion BP5, a sixth fixing protrusion BP6, a seventh fixing protrusion BP7, and an eighth fixing protrusion BP8. The fourth connecting end 2101 has a fifth mounting hole HP5 and a sixth mounting hole HP6, which are respectively fitted onto the fifth fixing protrusion BP5 and the sixth fixing protrusion BP6.

[0110] When viewed along the first axis AX1, the size of the fifth mounting hole HP5 is slightly larger than the size of the fifth fixing protrusion BP5, for example, by 1.05 times. When viewed along the first axis AX1, the size of the sixth mounting hole HP6 is larger than the size of the sixth fixing protrusion BP6, for example, by 1.5 times. When viewed along the first axis AX1, the sixth mounting hole HP6 has an elongated structure extending along the second axis AX2.

[0111] Similarly, the sixth connecting end 2104 has a seventh mounting hole HP7 and an eighth mounting hole HP8, which are respectively fitted onto the seventh fixing protrusion BP7 and the eighth fixing protrusion BP8. When viewed along the first axial direction AX1, the size of the seventh mounting hole HP7 is approximately equal to the size of the seventh fixing protrusion BP7 (within the tolerance range). When viewed along the first axial direction AX1, the size of the eighth mounting hole HP8 is slightly larger than the size of the eighth fixing protrusion BP8, for example, by 1.05 times.

[0112] Similarly, such as Figure 9 As shown, the second positioning seat 209 may have a central fixed protrusion 209P that passes through the fifth connecting end 2102. Since the fourth connecting component 210 is elastic, the second flexible portion 2103 and the fifth connecting end 2102 will generate an elastic restoring force to the second positioning seat 209, pushing the second positioning seat 209 and the second drive component DA2, so that the second drive component DA2 can reliably contact the second rotating component 220, thereby correctly driving the second rotating component 220.

[0113] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a top view of an optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the second optical module 200 may further include a second circuit component 216, configured to be electrically connected to the second driving component DA2 and the integrated circuit component 130.

[0114] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the second circuit assembly 216 has a fifth segment 2161, a sixth segment 2162, a seventh segment 2163, and an eighth segment 2164. The fifth segment 2161 is fixedly connected to the second base 212. The sixth segment 2162 is connected between the fifth segment 2161 and the seventh segment 2163, and the seventh segment 2163 extends along the main shaft MX.

[0115] The eighth segment 2164 is formed by bending the seventh segment 2163 and connecting it to the integrated circuit assembly 130. Specifically, as follows: Figure 6As shown, a second connector CN2 is provided on the integrated circuit assembly 130, configured to connect to the eighth segment 2164.

[0116] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the seventh segment 2163 is configured to pass through a slot 112G in the first base 112 and connect to the sixth segment 2162. It is worth noting that the sixth segment 2162 is formed by bending the fifth segment 2161 and connecting it to the seventh segment 2163. As... Figure 10 As shown, when viewed along the main axis MX, the sixth segment 2162 may have a V-shaped structure.

[0117] The second circuit assembly 216 is, for example, a flexible circuit board, and based on the above configuration, when the first movable part 108 drives the second optical module 200 to rotate around the first rotating axis RX1, the sixth segment 2162 can extend or retract with the first movable part 108 without affecting the movement of the first movable part 108, and can also avoid the problem of damage to the second circuit assembly 216.

[0118] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second circuit assembly 216 further includes a fixed section 2160, which is formed by bending the fifth section 2161, and the fixed section 2160 is fixedly mounted on the first movable section 108. The second drive assembly DA2 is configured to be electrically connected to the fixed section 2160, and the specific connection method will be described in a later paragraph.

[0119] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, a third connector CN3 is provided on the integrated circuit assembly 130, configured to connect to the external circuit assembly 132. That is, the signals of the first circuit assembly 116 and the second circuit assembly 216 can be integrated on the integrated circuit assembly 130 and then output to the aforementioned external circuit via the external circuit assembly 132.

[0120] Furthermore, similar to the first optical module 100, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fourth guide groove 2122 (or the third guide groove 2121) may have a second depth DT2 on the first axis AX1, and the second positioning seat 209 may have a second width WT2 on the first axis AX1.

[0121] The second depth DT2 is greater than the second width WT2, meaning there is enough space to adjust the position of the second positioning seat 209 on the second base 212 so that the second drive component DA2 can reliably contact the second rotating component 220, thereby correctly driving the second rotating component 220.

[0122] Please return to Figure 2 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the second rotating assembly 220 may have a second stator 221, a second rotor 222, and a plurality of second balls 223. The second stator 221 is located between the fixed shaft 230 and the second rotor 222, and the second balls 223 are located between the second stator 221 and the second rotor 222 so that the second rotor 222 can rotate relative to the second stator 221.

[0123] Similar to the first drive assembly DA1, the second drive assembly DA2 may have a second transmission assembly 204, a second contact 205, and a second power source 214. The second power source 214 is configured to generate a second driving force, the second transmission assembly 204 is configured to transmit the second driving force, and the second transmission assembly 204 may have an elastic structure that can flex to output the second driving force.

[0124] Specifically, the second power source 214 may be a second piezoelectric component configured to generate deformation to push the second conductive component 204, so that the second conductive component 204 flexes to output a second driving force.

[0125] Similarly, the second contact 205 is fixedly disposed on the second conductive assembly 204 and configured to transmit the second driving force. When the second conductive assembly 204 flexes, it can drive the second contact 205 to move around an elliptical trajectory (when viewed along the second axis AX2, as shown). Figure 7 This repeatedly contacts and drives the second rotor 222 to rotate. The specific operation method is the same as that of the first drive component DA1.

[0126] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second movable part 208 is fixedly connected to the second rotor 222, and the second driving force is transmitted to the second rotor 222 through the second contact member 205 to drive the second rotor 222 and the second movable part 208 to rotate relative to the second stator 221 around the second rotating shaft RX2, so that the second movable part 208 drives the camera module 150 to rotate around the second rotating shaft RX2.

[0127] Please refer to the following: Figure 11 . Figure 11 This is a side view of an optical component driving mechanism 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as... Figure 11 As shown, the second base 212 may have a third stop 2123 and a fourth stop 2124, and when the second movable part 208 is driven to rotate around the second rotating shaft RX2, the third stop 2123 and the fourth stop 2124 may be configured to stop the second movable part 208 to limit the angular range of rotation of the second movable part 208.

[0128] The third stop 2123 is, for example, an inclined surface, while the fourth stop 2124 is, for example, a rounded bevel, but not limited to these. Based on this configuration, the rotation angle of the second movable part 208 is different. For example, in... Figure 11 In this configuration, the maximum clockwise rotation angle of the second movable part 208 (with the horizontal line as 0 degrees) can be greater than the maximum counterclockwise rotation angle. This configuration ensures that the second movable part 208 does not collide with the first movable part 108.

[0129] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, the second base 212 may have a first engaging protrusion PP1, a second engaging protrusion PP2, a third engaging protrusion PP3, and a fourth engaging protrusion PP4, and the fifth segment 2161 has a first engaging hole EH1, a second engaging hole EH2, a third engaging hole EH3, and a fourth engaging hole EH4.

[0130] The first engaging protrusion PP1, the second engaging protrusion PP2, the third engaging protrusion PP3, and the fourth engaging protrusion PP4 are configured to engage with the first engaging hole EH1, the second engaging hole EH2, the third engaging hole EH3, and the fourth engaging hole EH4, respectively. When viewed along the second axial direction AX2, the size of the first engaging hole EH1 is approximately equal to the size of the first engaging protrusion PP1 (within the tolerance range).

[0131] When viewed along the second axis AX2, the size of the second engaging hole EH2 is slightly larger than the size of the second engaging protrusion PP2. When viewed along the second axis AX2, the size of the third engaging hole EH3 is slightly larger than the size of the third engaging protrusion PP3, for example, by 1.05 times.

[0132] Furthermore, when viewed along the second axis AX2, the size of the fourth engaging hole EH4 is larger than the size of the fourth engaging protrusion PP4. Specifically, when viewed along the second axis AX2, the fourth engaging hole EH4 has an elongated structure extending along the first axis AX1.

[0133] Based on this structural design, the fifth segment 2161 can be easily and reliably positioned on the second base 212, and the problem that the fifth segment 2161 may rotate around the second axis AX2 when the second base 212 rotates around the first axis RX1 can be avoided.

[0134] Similarly, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the second base 212 may further have a fifth engaging protrusion PP5, and the fixing section 2160 correspondingly forms a fifth engaging hole EH5. The fifth engaging protrusion PP5 is configured to pass through the fifth engaging hole EH5.

[0135] When viewed along the main spindle MX, the size of the fifth engagement hole EH5 is larger than the size of the fifth engagement protrusion PP5. Specifically, when viewed along the main spindle MX, the fifth engagement hole EH5 has an elongated structure that extends along the second axis AX2.

[0136] Similar to the first circuit component 116, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fixed section 2160 may have two second electrical contacts EC2 configured to be electrically connected to the second power source 214, and the second power source 214 may have a lead WR3 and a lead WR4.

[0137] like Figure 9 As shown, the second positioning seat 209 may have two notches 2098, and the leads WR3 and WR4 are configured to pass through the two notches 2098 and be electrically connected to the two second electrical contacts EC2 (e.g., by welding).

[0138] Based on the above structural configuration, not only will the second circuit assembly 216 not affect the movement of the first movable part 108 and the second base 212, but the second optical module 200 can also be miniaturized.

[0139] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 10 and Figure 11 In this embodiment, the second circuit assembly 216 further includes a first bent segment 2165, a second bent segment 2166, and a third bent segment 2167. The first bent segment 2165 is connected between the fifth segment 2161 and the sixth segment 2162, and the second bent segment 2166 is connected between the sixth segment 2162 and the seventh segment 2163.

[0140] like Figure 10 As shown, the sixth segment 2162 may have a first straight segment 2168 and a second straight segment 2169, and the third bent segment 2167 is connected between the first straight segment 2168 and the second straight segment 2169.

[0141] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the second optical module 200 may further include a first reinforcing component STP1, a second reinforcing component STP2, and a third reinforcing component STP3. The first reinforcing component STP1, the second reinforcing component STP2, and the third reinforcing component STP3 may be, for example, thin plastic sheets, but are not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, these reinforcing components may also be made of metal.

[0142] In this embodiment, the first reinforcing component STP1 is fixedly connected to a portion of the fifth segment 2161, the second reinforcing component STP2 is fixedly connected to a portion of the seventh segment 2163, and the third reinforcing component STP3 is fixedly connected to the third bending segment 2167.

[0143] Based on the configuration of these reinforcing components, the structural strength of the fifth segment 2161 and the seventh segment 2163 can be increased, so that when the second base 212 rotates, the first straight segment 2168 and the second straight segment 2169 can smoothly separate from each other or move closer to each other, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the second base 212.

[0144] Furthermore, the second circuit assembly 216 may further have a first notch NT1, a second notch NT2, a third notch NT3, and a fourth notch NT4. The first notch NT1 and the second notch NT2 are formed in the first bending section 2165, and the third notch NT3 and the fourth notch NT4 are formed in the second bending section 2166.

[0145] Based on the configuration of the first notch NT1, the second notch NT2, the third notch NT3, and the fourth notch NT4, the flexibility of the second circuit assembly 216 can be increased to ensure the smoothness of movement between the second base 212 and the first movable part 108.

[0146] In addition, such as Figure 2 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the second optical module 200 further includes a second sensing component SE2 and a second magnetic component MG2. The second magnetic component MG2 is disposed on the second active part 208, and the second sensing component SE2 is disposed on the fifth segment 2161.

[0147] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the second base 212 has a through hole 212H, and the fixed shaft 230 is configured to pass through the through hole 212H. When viewed along the main shaft MX, a first length LH1 of the through hole 212H is greater than a second length LH2 of the fixed shaft 230.

[0148] That is, the fixed shaft 230 does not completely fill the through hole 212H. Therefore, the through hole 212H and the fixed shaft 230 can form a receiving space 212R, which is configured to accommodate the second sensing component SE2.

[0149] Correspondingly, the second movable part 208 may have a side receiving part 2081 disposed on one side of the second base 212, corresponding to the receiving space 212R. The side receiving part 2081 has a receiving recess 208R, configured to receive the second magnetic component MG2.

[0150] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 10 As shown, when viewed along the main axis MX, the second sensing component SE2 and the second magnetic component MG2 are located on opposite sides of the fifth segment 2161. When viewed along the second axis AX2, the side accommodating portion 2081 overlaps the second sensing component SE2, the fixed shaft 230, and the through hole 212H. Based on the above structural configuration, the second optical module 200 can be further miniaturized.

[0151] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, when viewed along the second axis AX2, the second magnetic component MG2 has a third notch MG21. The configuration and advantages of the third notch MG21 are similar to those of the second notch MG11, and will not be described again here.

[0152] Similar to the first circuit assembly 116, the second circuit assembly 216 may have six embedded lines. The second power source 214 may be electrically connected to two of these lines via two second electrical contacts EC2, and the other four lines may be utilized by the second sensing component SE2. Similarly, Figure 6 The other six lines of the external circuit assembly 132 are electrically connected to the six lines of the second circuit assembly 216. Therefore, the first circuit assembly 116 and the second circuit assembly 216 can be electrically connected to the aforementioned external circuit through the lines of the external circuit assembly 132.

[0153] In addition, such as Figure 11 As shown, the first base 112 further includes a first plane SS1, a second plane SS2, and a step structure 112S, and the step structure 112S is formed between the first plane SS1 and the second plane SS2.

[0154] When viewed along the first axis AX1, the first plane SS1 overlaps with the second connecting assembly 110. When viewed along the first axis AX1, the second plane SS2 does not overlap with the second connecting assembly 110, and when viewed along the second axis AX2, the step structure 112S overlaps with the mounting portion 112D.

[0155] Based on this structural configuration, the ease of installing the second connecting component 110 can be increased, and the optical component driving mechanism 10 can also achieve overall miniaturization.

[0156] Please refer to the following: Figure 12 . Figure 12This is a perspective view of an optical component driving mechanism 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. Similar to the foregoing embodiment, in this embodiment, the second optical module 200 also has a first reinforcing component STP1 and a second reinforcing component STP2, which are fixedly connected to the fifth segment 2161 and the seventh segment 2163, respectively.

[0157] The aforementioned third reinforcing component STP3 is omitted from the third bending section 2167. Specifically, a movable groove 216T is formed on the sixth section 2162, extending from the first straight section 2168 to the third bending section 2167, and finally extending to the second straight section 2169.

[0158] Based on the design of the active groove 216T, the flexibility of the sixth section 2162 can be increased, and since the third reinforcing component STP3 is omitted, the second optical module 200 can be further made lighter.

[0159] In summary, this utility model provides an optical component driving mechanism 10, including a first optical module 100, a second optical module 200, a first driving component DA1, and a second driving component DA2. The second movable portion 208 of the second optical module 200 is configured to support a camera module 150, and the second optical module 200 is fixedly mounted on the first movable portion 108 of the first optical module 100. The first driving component DA1 is configured to drive the first movable portion 108 and the second optical module 200 to rotate around a first rotating axis RX1, and the second driving component DA2 is configured to drive the second movable portion 208 and the camera module 150 to rotate relative to the first movable portion 108 and the first base 112 around a second rotating axis RX2.

[0160] Furthermore, the optical component driving mechanism 10 may further include a first circuit assembly 116, a second circuit assembly 216, an integrated circuit assembly 130, and an external circuit assembly 132, wherein the first circuit assembly 116 and the second circuit assembly 216 are electrically connected to an external circuit via the integrated circuit assembly 130 and the external circuit assembly 132. The second circuit assembly 216 has a fifth segment 2161, a sixth segment 2162, a seventh segment 2163, and an eighth segment 2164. The fifth segment 2161 is fixedly connected to the second base 212. The sixth segment 2162 is connected between the fifth segment 2161 and the seventh segment 2163, and the eighth segment 2164 is bent from the seventh segment 2163 and connected to the integrated circuit assembly 130.

[0161] Furthermore, the fifth segment 2161 may have multiple engaging holes, and the second base 212 may correspondingly have multiple engaging protrusions to engage with these engaging holes respectively. Based on this configuration, the fifth segment 2161 can be easily and reliably positioned on the second base 212, and the problem of the fifth segment 2161 potentially rotating around the second axis AX2 can be avoided. Moreover, the fifth segment 2161 can also be further fixed to the second base 212 with adhesive to ensure that the fifth segment 2161 will not detach from the second base 212 when the second base 212 rotates.

[0162] While the embodiments and advantages of this utility model have been disclosed above, it should be understood that anyone skilled in the art can make modifications, substitutions, and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
