Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical element driving technology, and in particular to a lens driving mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, many electronic devices today (such as smartphones or digital cameras) have the function of taking pictures or recording videos. The use of these electronic devices is becoming more and more common, and they are developing towards convenient and thinner designs to provide users with more choices.

[0003] Lens drive mechanisms are used in lightweight designs because they can significantly reduce the overall thickness and weight of the device. A typical lens drive mechanism consists of two parts: a lens and a prism. The prism is located at the front end, and the imaging chip is located at the rear end of the lens. Light is reflected by the prism, changing its path to the lens, where it is zoomed before reaching the imaging chip.

[0004] Specifically, the prism section typically nods or tilts on its base to change the angle of light. These actions require a prism magnet and a corresponding prism coil. Existing prism sections, with their rotating shafts, magnets, or coils, increase the overall height of the prism section, hindering lightweight design and thus requiring improvement.

[0071] In the following description, in order to clearly demonstrate the structure and working method of this utility model, a number of directional terms will be used. However, terms such as "front", "back", "left", "right", "outside", "inside", "outward", "inward", "up", and "down" should be understood as convenient terms and not as limiting terms.

[0072] This utility model relates to a lens 32 driving mechanism 100, which includes a base 1, a circuit board 5, an elastic element, a cross shaft 4, a prism carrier 2, a lens carrier 3, and a housing.

[0073] The base 1 includes a base plate 11, two side plates 12, and two end plates 13. The two side plates 12 are spaced apart along a first direction X and connected to both sides of the base plate 11 along the first direction X. The two end plates 13 are spaced apart along a second direction Y and connected to both ends of the base plate 11 along the second direction Y. The two end plates 13, the two side plates 12, and the base plate 11 form a frame structure.

[0074] The outer casing covers the outside of the base 1 and is connected to the base 1. The outer casing is also provided with a light inlet hole 71.

[0075] Prism carrier 2 and lens carrier 3 are arranged side-by-side within the frame of base 1 along the second direction Y, with prism carrier 2 located behind lens carrier 3. Prism carrier 2 is used to mount prism 8, and lens carrier 3 is used to mount lens 32. The front sides of lens 32 and prism 8 are aligned along the second direction Y, and the optical axis of lens 32 is also the second direction Y. The second direction Y, the first direction X, and the vertical direction Z are all perpendicular to each other.

[0076] The light inlet 71 of the housing is aligned with the top surface of the prism 8. External light enters the top surface of the prism 8 through the light inlet 71 of the housing, and after being refracted by the prism 8, it enters the lens 32 from the front side of the prism 8.

[0077] The prism carrier 2 is a rectangular block structure with a recessed prism mounting groove 21 on its front side. The prism mounting groove 21 is open upwards, and the bottom wall of the prism mounting groove 21 is an inclined surface 211. The inclined surface 211 extends from the rear top end of the prism carrier 2 to the front bottom end, so that the size of the prism carrier 2 along the second direction Y gradually decreases from the bottom to the top. That is to say, the cross-section of the prism carrier 2 along the vertical direction Z is a right triangle.

[0078] To increase the stability of the prism 8, the prism carrier 2 also has baffles on both sides along the first direction X. These two baffles and the prism carrier 2 together define the inner wall of the prism mounting groove 21.

[0079] The rear side of the prism carrier 2 is provided with a first groove 22 and a second groove 23. The first groove 22 extends along the first direction X and penetrates the prism carrier 2 along the first direction X. The second groove 23 extends along the vertical direction Z and passes through the first groove 22.

[0080] The cross shaft 4 includes a first shaft 41 and a second shaft 42 that are connected to each other or integrally formed. The first shaft 41 extends along a first direction X, and the second shaft 42 extends along a vertical direction Z. The first shaft 41 is located in a first groove 22, and the second shaft 42 is located in a second groove 23.

[0081] The two ends of the first shaft 41 can extend beyond the two ends of the first groove 22 and be hung on the base 1. The prism carrier 2 can rotate around the axis of the first shaft 41 to form a nodding motion.

[0082] The top of the second axis 42 supports the prism carrier 2, which can rotate around the axis of the second axis 42 to form a head-shaking motion.

[0083] The second axis 42 extends vertically in the Z direction. The second axis 42 is a vertical rod and does not occupy the lateral area of ​​the prism carrier 2. A prism mounting groove 21 for mounting the prism 8 needs to be provided on the front side of the prism carrier 2. This prism mounting groove 21 occupies approximately half the volume of the prism carrier 2, equivalent to cutting off half of the rectangular block of the prism carrier 2 diagonally. The remaining part of the prism carrier has a small top dimension along the second direction Y. In the prior art, the second axis 42 extends along the second direction Y. Since the second axis 42 has a certain length, to avoid the second axis 42 protruding from the rear side of the prism carrier 2, it needs to be positioned near the bottom of the prism carrier 2. However, the bottom surface of the prism carrier 2 also needs to install a magnet assembly. To install the magnet assembly, the height of the prism carrier 2 needs to be increased, which also increases the overall height of the lens drive mechanism. This increase in height will affect the thickness of the mobile phone or other electronic devices.

[0084] The second shaft 42 of this invention extends vertically in the Z direction. The second shaft 42 can be installed near the rear side of the prism carrier 2, and does not need to be located at the bottom of the prism carrier 2. The diameter of the second shaft 42 is relatively small, so it does not protrude from the rear side of the prism carrier 2. The bottom surface of the prism carrier 2 can have grooves for the magnet assembly or coil assembly, which can reduce the height of the prism carrier 2 in the vertical Z direction. This reduces the overall height of the lens drive mechanism, making electronic devices using this lens drive mechanism, such as mobile phones, lighter.

[0085] The first groove 22 is located in the middle of the prism carrier 2 along the vertical direction Z. The center of the second groove 23 along the vertical direction Z overlaps with the center of the first groove 22 along the first direction X. The center of the first shaft 41 along the first direction X overlaps with the center of the second shaft 42 along the vertical direction Z. The first groove 22 is located in the middle of the prism carrier 2 along the vertical direction Z. The top end of the second shaft 42 will not protrude from the top of the prism carrier 2, and the bottom end will not be close to the bottom of the prism carrier 2, so as not to affect the installation of the magnet.

[0086] It should be understood that the dimensions of the first groove 22 and the second groove 23 are sufficient for the prism carrier 2 to rotate about the axis of the first axis 41 and the axis of the second axis 42. That is, the dimensions of the first groove 22 allow the prism carrier 2 to rotate about the axis of the second axis 42, and the dimensions of the second groove 23 allow the prism carrier 2 to rotate along the axis of the first axis 41.

[0087] As a preferred option, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first shaft 41 of the cross shaft 4 is equipped with a magnet, and the first groove 22 is provided with a mounting groove. A metal block 203 that is attracted to the magnet is installed in the mounting groove to increase the stability of the cross shaft 4.

[0088] The mounting groove is preferably located at the intersection of the first groove and the second groove, that is, at the point where the centers of the first shaft and the second shaft overlap, in order to increase the stability of the cross shaft.

[0089] Of course, in other embodiments, a portion of the first shaft 41 may be configured as a magnet, which is mounted opposite to the metal block 203 and attracts each other.

[0090] In another embodiment, part or all of the first shaft 41 is made of a metal material that attracts the magnet, and the magnet is installed in the mounting groove.

[0091] Of course, a magnet or metal block 203 can also be installed on the inner wall of the second groove 23, and the second shaft 42 can be made of a material that attracts the magnet or metal block 203.

[0092] In other words, the first groove 22 or the second groove 23 is provided as a mounting groove for installing the first adsorption component, and part or all of the cross shaft 4 is made of the second adsorption component. The first adsorption component and the second adsorption component attract each other. For example, the first adsorption component is metal, and the second adsorption component is a magnet that attracts the first adsorption component, or both the first adsorption component and the second adsorption component are magnets that attract each other.

[0093] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the bottom surface of the prism carrier 2 is provided with a relief groove 24. The two relief grooves 24 are located on both sides of the prism carrier 2 along the first direction X and are connected to the two ends of the first groove 22.

[0094] Two support platforms 14 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The two support platforms 14 are adjacent to two side plates 12. The bottom ends are respectively installed on the top surface of the base plate 11. The top surface is provided with V-shaped grooves 141, which are used to support the two ends of the first shaft 41.

[0095] To increase the stability of the cross shaft 4, the two ends of the first shaft 41 or the entire first shaft 41 can be made of magnetic material, and the inner wall of the support platform 14 or the V-groove 141 of the support platform 14 can be made of a metal material or a magnetic material that attracts the first shaft 41. The first shaft 41 can be made of a first magnetic element, and the support platform 14 can be made of a second magnetic element that attracts the first magnetic element. The first magnetic element can be a magnet or a metal sheet, and the second magnetic element can also be a magnet or a metal sheet. In other words, the support platform 14 only needs to attract the first shaft 41.

[0096] exist Figure 9 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the two ends of the first shaft 41 or the first shaft 41 adopts a first magnetic element. The two support platforms 14 are respectively adjacent to the inner walls of the two side plates 12. The outer surfaces of the two side plates 12 are provided with positioning protrusions 121. The two positioning protrusions 121 are respectively aligned with the two support platforms 14 and the two ends of the first shaft 41. The two positioning protrusions 121 are embedded with second magnetic elements 1211 that are attracted to the first magnetic element.

[0097] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bottom surface of the prism carrier 2 is provided with a first magnet groove 25 for installing the first magnet group 27, and the bottom plate 11 is provided with a first coil groove 111 for installing the first coil group 112. The first magnet group 27 and the first coil group 112 are aligned in the vertical direction Z and cooperate with each other to drive the prism carrier 2 to rotate around the axis of the first shaft 41.

[0098] It should be understood that the first coil group 112 can also be set at the bottom of the prism carrier 2, and the first magnet group 27 can be set on the base plate 11.

[0099] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the bottom surface of the prism carrier 2 is provided with a magnetic groove for mounting the inductive magnet 29, and the base plate 11 is provided with a sensor mounting groove for mounting the sensor 114. The sensor 114 cooperates with the inductive magnet 29 to sense the position of the prism carrier 2. Of course, the inductive magnet 29 can also be placed on the base plate 11, and the sensor 114 can be placed on the prism carrier 2. The sensor 114 is a Hall sensor, which can sense the magnetic field of the inductive magnet 29.

[0100] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the prism carrier 2 is provided with second magnet slots 26 for mounting second magnet groups 28 on both sides along the first direction X, and the two side plates 12 are respectively provided with second coil slots 122 for mounting second coil groups 123. The two second coil groups 123 and the two second magnet groups 28 are aligned along the first direction X. The second magnet groups 28 and the second coil groups 123 cooperate to drive the prism carrier 2 to rotate around the axis of the second axis 42. Of course, the second magnet groups 28 can also be set on the side plates 12, and the second coil groups 123 can be set on both sides of the prism carrier 2 along the second direction Y.

[0101] like Figure 11 As shown, the base plate 11 is provided with a clearance groove 113, which extends along the first direction X. The bottom of the prism carrier 2 includes a first portion 201 and a second portion 202 along the second direction Y, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the first part 201 is recessed, so the bottom surface of the first part is higher than the bottom surface of the second part 202, and the first part is located above the base plate 11. The second part is located in front of the first part 201, and the bottom surface of the second part is lower than the bottom surface of the first part, and the second part 202 is located within the clearance groove 113. When the prism carrier 2 nods around the axis of the first axis 41, the clearance groove 113 can provide movement space for the prism carrier 2, and can also reduce the height of the entire lens 32 drive mechanism 100.

[0102] The lens carrier 3 is rotatably connected to the base plate 11 via several balls, rollers or other rolling elements.

[0103] The lens carrier 3 has third magnet slots 31 for mounting third magnet groups on both sides along the first direction X, and third coil slots 124 for mounting third coil groups 125 on both side plates 12. The third magnet groups and the third coil groups 125 cooperate to drive the lens carrier 3 to move along the second direction Y. The second direction Y is the optical axis direction of the lens 32. The lens carrier 3 drives the lens 32 to move along the optical axis direction, which can achieve the function of focusing.

[0104] Of course, the third magnet group can also be set on the side plate 12 or the bottom plate 11, and the third coil group 125 can be set on the prism carrier 2.

[0105] The base 1 is also provided with multiple metal pieces, which are embedded in the base plate 11 or side plate 12 of the base 1 and are located on the sides of the first magnet group 27, the second magnet group 28 and the third magnet group respectively. They can attract the first magnet group 27, the second magnet group 28 and the third magnet group, increasing the stability of the magnet groups.

[0106] A portion of the circuit board 5 is located on the outer side of the two side plates 12, and another portion is located on the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The circuit board 5 is provided with two positioning holes 51, which are respectively installed on the outside of the two positioning protrusions 121.

[0107] The first coil group 112, the second coil group 123, the third coil group 125, and the sensor 114 are electrically connected to the circuit board 5.

[0108] Of course, in other embodiments, the circuit structure can be directly set inside the base 1 to power the first coil group 112, the second coil group 123, the third coil group 125 and the sensor 114, without the need to install the circuit board 5.

[0109] The elastic element is a spring 6, which is located on the top surface of the base plate 11. Its two ends along the first direction X are locked outside the two support platforms 14. The spring 6 includes multiple elastic spring wires. A part of the spring 6 is connected to the prism carrier 2 and a part is connected to the base plate 11. After the prism carrier 2 moves, the spring 6 can drive the prism carrier 2 to reset.

[0110] The two support platforms are adjacent to the two side plates. The two ends of the first shaft are directly installed on the top surface of the two support platforms without the need for other positioning components, making installation convenient.

[0111] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but it should be understood that, if necessary, aspects of the embodiments can be modified to utilize aspects, features, and concepts from various patents, applications, and publications to provide other embodiments.
