The present invention relates to the technical field of piezoelectric driving, and specifically relates to a noise-reduction piezoelectric driving method and system, and a lens driving device. In the noise-reduction piezoelectric driving method, a square wave signal is used to drive a piezoelectric element; and within a control period for driving the piezoelectric element, the duty cycle of at least one pulse period is adjusted to be different from the duty cycles of other pulse periods. Further, the pulse frequency of at least one adjustment period is adjusted to be different from the pulse frequencies of other adjustment periods. Additionally, the pulse amplitude of at least one pulse period is adjusted to be different from the pulse amplitudes of other pulse periods.

Description

Noise Reduction Piezoelectric Drive Method, System and Lens Drive Device Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of piezoelectric drive technology, specifically relating to a noise reduction piezoelectric drive method, system, and lens drive device. 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] Some electronic devices with photographic or video recording capabilities are equipped with lens drive mechanisms to move optical components such as lenses, thereby achieving functions such as autofocus, image stabilization, or aperture adjustment. Light can pass through the optical components and form an image on the photosensitive element. To achieve these functions, the Smooth Impact Drive Mechanism (SIDM) was developed. An SIDM is a drive mechanism that uses piezoelectric elements (piezoelectric motors) to drive moving parts to achieve purposes such as autofocus, image stabilization, or aperture adjustment.

[0004] Of course, in addition to lens driving devices, piezoelectric drive mechanisms can also be used in other fields that require linear displacement.

[0005] Currently, as shown in Figure 1, the piezoelectric element is mostly driven using a fixed-condition square wave drive mode, and the relationship between the carrier displacement (Stroke) and time (Time) is shown in Figure 2. The moving part starts moving with the square wave drive signal and stops moving when the square wave drive signal stops. In the above-mentioned fixed-condition square wave drive mode, the velocity and acceleration of the piezoelectric element change rapidly at the start and stop of movement, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, leading to high noise during start-up and shutdown. As shown in Figure 5, interval (A') represents the noise when the piezoelectric element starts moving, interval (B') represents the noise when the piezoelectric element is in stable motion, and interval (C') represents the noise when the piezoelectric element stops moving. It can be seen that the fixed-condition square wave drive mode results in a sound pressure level peak-to-peak value of up to 50 mPa.

[0006] How to achieve stable linear displacement while driving piezoelectric elements and reduce the noise generated during driving is a question that those skilled in the art need to actively consider. Summary of the Invention

[0163] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to better understand the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are only for illustrating the essential spirit of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0164] In the following description, certain specific details are set forth for the purpose of illustrating various disclosed embodiments in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various disclosed embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that embodiments may be practiced without one or more of these specific details. In other instances, well-known apparatuses, structures, and techniques associated with this application may not have been shown or described in detail to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the description of the embodiments.

[0165] Throughout this specification, references to "an embodiment" or "an embodiment" indicate that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Therefore, the appearance of "in an embodiment" or "an embodiment" in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, a particular feature, structure, or characteristic may be combined in any manner in one or more embodiments.

[0166] In the following description, in order to clearly demonstrate the structure and working method of the present invention, 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.

[0167] This invention provides a noise-reducing piezoelectric driving method, which uses a square wave signal to drive a piezoelectric element. During the control cycle of driving the piezoelectric element, the duty cycle of at least one pulse cycle is adjusted to be different from the duty cycles of other pulse cycles. Furthermore, during the control cycle of driving the piezoelectric element, the control cycle is divided into several equal time intervals of adjustment cycles. The pulse frequencies of the pulse cycles within each adjustment cycle are adjusted to be the same, and the pulse frequency of at least one adjustment cycle is adjusted to be different from the pulse frequencies of other adjustment cycles. Additionally, during the control cycle of driving the piezoelectric element, the pulse amplitude of at least one pulse cycle is adjusted to be different from the pulse amplitude of other pulse cycles.

[0168] The square wave signal of this invention has one or more control cycles. For one control cycle, several adjustment cycles are first defined, and the time interval between each adjustment cycle is the same. For example, as shown in Figure 6, one control cycle is divided into 9 adjustment cycles, and the time interval between each adjustment cycle is 0.05s. Within one adjustment cycle, there are several pulse cycles with the same pulse frequency. The number of pulse cycles is determined according to the pulse frequency of the adjustment cycle.

[0169] Several important parameters of a pulse period are pulse width, duty cycle, pulse frequency, and pulse amplitude. Pulse width refers to the duration of the pulse after it appears. Duty cycle is the ratio of pulse width to pulse period. Pulse frequency refers to the number of pulse cycles per second. For example, a pulse frequency of 1kHz means there are 1000 pulse cycles per second. The conversion between pulse period and pulse frequency is: pulse period = 1 / pulse frequency. Pulse amplitude is the maximum change in the pulse signal over time, which refers to the voltage value during the high-level state.

[0170] When driving piezoelectric elements, this invention improves the traditional fixed-condition square wave driving mode to a variable square wave driving mode. This means that in the traditional square wave signal, each pulse period has the same duty cycle, pulse frequency, and pulse amplitude. Instead, within the control cycle, at least one pulse period has a different duty cycle than other pulse periods, and within the control cycle, at least one adjustment period has a different pulse frequency than other adjustment periods, and within the control cycle, at least one pulse period has a different pulse amplitude than other pulse periods. By utilizing the different duty cycles, pulse frequencies, and pulse amplitudes of at least one pulse period, the rate of change of velocity and acceleration at the start and end of the piezoelectric element's movement is reduced, ultimately effectively improving the noise problem.

[0171] In practice, the pulse period without duty cycle adjustment can be defined as the preset pulse period. The preset parameters of the pulse period without adjustment can be determined in advance. Of course, the preset parameters include the preset duty cycle. The duty cycle of the pulse period that needs to be adjusted is adjusted to be different from the preset duty cycle, while other parameters remain the same.

[0172] In practical implementation, the adjustment period without pulse frequency adjustment can be defined as the preset adjustment period. The preset parameters of the adjustment period without adjustment can be determined in advance. Of course, each preset parameter includes the preset pulse frequency. The pulse frequency of the adjustment period to be adjusted is different from the preset adjustment period, while other parameters remain the same.

[0173] In practical implementation, the pulse period without pulse amplitude adjustment can be defined as the preset amplitude period. The preset parameters of the pulse period without adjustment can be determined in advance. Of course, each preset parameter includes the preset pulse amplitude. The pulse amplitude of the pulse period that needs to be adjusted is adjusted to be different from the preset pulse amplitude, while other parameters remain the same.

[0174] Each preset parameter can be the same as the parameters in the traditional fixed-condition square wave drive mode, or each preset parameter can be predetermined according to actual needs.

[0175] In one embodiment, within a control cycle, at least one pulse cycle is defined as a duty cycle to be adjusted, and the duty cycle of the duty cycle to be adjusted is different from the duty cycles of other pulse cycles.

[0176] If there are at least two duty cycle periods to be adjusted, then there must be at least one other pulse period between the two duty cycle periods to be adjusted, and the duty cycles of each duty cycle period to be adjusted may be the same or different.

[0366] Similarly, the pulse amplitude can be gradually reduced after increasing to half a control cycle by following a preset reduction pattern to the minimum pulse amplitude. This preset reduction pattern could be a linear or near-linear reduction, or a proportional reduction.

[0367] Preferably, the preset decreasing pattern adopts the same method as the preset increasing pattern to achieve a gradual decrease in pulse amplitude.

[0368] In addition, in scenarios where the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle within the control period has both an increasing and decreasing trend, when the number of pulse cycles m within the control period is odd, the pulse amplitude of the middle pulse cycle is the highest; when the number of pulse cycles m within the control period is even, the pulse amplitudes of the two middle pulse cycles are the same and the highest.

[0369] In one embodiment, the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle is adjusted by gradually increasing from the lowest pulse amplitude to half a control cycle, and then gradually decreasing back to the lowest pulse amplitude.

[0374] In one embodiment, the maximum pulse amplitude A' is preset before driving the piezoelectric element.

[0375] When using a square wave signal to drive a piezoelectric element, the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle is adjusted to gradually decrease from the highest pulse amplitude to half a control cycle, and then gradually increase back to the highest pulse amplitude.

[0376] In this embodiment, the pulse amplitude can be gradually reduced from its highest value to half a control cycle according to a preset reduction rule. This preset reduction rule could be a linear or near-linear reduction, or a proportional reduction.

[0377] Similarly, the pulse amplitude can be gradually increased after decreasing to half a control cycle, or it can be increased to the maximum pulse amplitude according to a preset increase rule. The preset increase rule can be, for example, a linear increase or an approximately linear increase, or a proportional increase.

[0378] Preferably, the preset increase rule adopts the same method as the preset decrease rule to achieve a gradual increase in pulse amplitude.

[0379] In addition, in scenarios where the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle within the control period has both a decreasing and increasing trend, when the number of pulse cycles m within the control period is odd, the pulse amplitude of the middle pulse cycle is the lowest; when the number of pulse cycles m within the control period is even, the pulse amplitudes of the two middle pulse cycles are the same and the lowest.

[0380] In one embodiment, the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle is adjusted by gradually decreasing from the highest pulse amplitude to half a control cycle, and then gradually increasing back to the highest pulse amplitude.

[0385] In one embodiment, the minimum pulse amplitude is 3V.

[0386] In one embodiment, the maximum pulse amplitude is 15V.

[0387] In one embodiment, PWM pulse width modulation is used to adjust the pulse amplitude of the square wave signal.

[0388] In one embodiment, there is a pulse period with a pulse amplitude of zero between two adjacent control cycles.

[0389] This invention provides a noise-reducing piezoelectric drive system, which includes:

[0390] The duty cycle adjustment module is used to adjust the duty cycle of at least one pulse cycle to be different from the duty cycle of other pulse cycles during the control cycle when the piezoelectric element is driven by a square wave signal.

[0391] The pulse frequency adjustment module is used to divide the control cycle into several adjustment cycles with the same time interval within the control cycle when driving the piezoelectric element with a square wave signal. The pulse frequency of the pulse cycles within the adjustment cycle is adjusted to be the same, and the pulse frequency of at least one adjustment cycle is adjusted to be different from the pulse frequency of other adjustment cycles.

[0392] The pulse amplitude adjustment module is used to adjust the pulse amplitude of at least one pulse cycle to be different from the pulse amplitude of other pulse cycles during the control cycle when the piezoelectric element is driven by a square wave signal.

[0393] This invention provides a lens driving device, which includes a piezoelectric element. When driving the piezoelectric element with a square wave signal, the noise reduction piezoelectric driving method provided in the above embodiments is used.

[0394] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 11 and 12, a lens driving device is fitted onto a lens for adjusting the aperture size. The lens driving device includes a base 10, a movable seat 20, and a driving mechanism 40.

[0395] The base 10 is used to fix it to the housing of the lens motor.

[0396] The movable base 20 is rotatably mounted on the base 10 around an axis. Both the movable base 20 and the base 10 have a lens clearance hole 50 along their axis, which mates with the lens on the lens motor, allowing light to enter the lens. The lens clearance hole 50 is typically circular. The lens clearance hole 50 is located at the center of the movable base 20 and the base 10, and this axis is the center line of the combined base 10 and movable base 20, which is also the axis of the lens clearance hole 50, for example, the vertical center line A in Figure 12.

[0397] The bottom of the movable base 20 is provided with mounting holes.

[0398] The drive mechanism 40 drives the movable seat 20 to rotate around the axis. Referring to Figures 11 to 13, the drive mechanism 40 adopts a piezoelectric mechanism, which includes a piezoelectric element 41, a friction rod 42, and a movable pin 43. The piezoelectric element 41 is mounted on the base 10, and the friction rod 42 is fixedly connected to the piezoelectric element 41. The friction rod 42 is connected to the movable pin 43, which extends into the mounting hole. When the piezoelectric element 41 moves, the friction rod 42 moves linearly, driving the movable pin 43 to push the movable seat 20 to rotate within the mounting hole 21.

[0399] The driving mechanism 40 of this invention employs a piezoelectric mechanism. When the piezoelectric element 41 is energized, it stretches, causing the friction rod 42 to move linearly. This, in turn, drives the movable seat 20 to rotate via the mounting hole 21 at the bottom of the movable seat 20 through the movable pin 43, thus achieving the rotational movement of the movable seat 20. Compared to traditional drive devices using a magnet and coil combination, where the magnet and coil generate a magnetic field that may interfere with other electronic components inside the phone, the piezoelectric mechanism avoids interference with other components such as the lens motor. Furthermore, the piezoelectric mechanism has a simple and compact overall structure, reducing the overall size of the lens driving device.

[0400] In one embodiment, the piezoelectric mechanism further includes a collar 44, a plug plate 45, and a movable member 46. The collar 44 is sleeved on the outside of the friction rod 42. The collar 44 is an open collar, and plug plates 45 are respectively provided at the two open ends of the collar 44. The plug plates 45 are inserted into the plug holes 461 of the movable member 46 and clamp the friction rod 42. The movable pin 43 is provided on the movable member 46.

[0401] With the above design, the movable pin 43 is indirectly connected to the friction rod 42. When the friction rod 42 moves with the piezoelectric element 41, the movable member 46 also moves linearly, causing the movable pin 43 at the top of the movable member 46 to push the movable seat 20 to rotate in the mounting hole 21 at the bottom of the movable seat 20, thereby realizing the rotation of the movable seat 20.

[0402] The insertion hole 461 adopts a T-shaped insertion hole, and the bottom of the insertion hole 461 is an open structure. The inner wall shape of the insertion hole 461 matches the opening of the insertion plate 45 and the collar 44 to which it is inserted.

[0403] Of course, the connection between the movable pin 43 and the friction rod 42 can also be achieved by other structures, as long as it can drive the movable pin 43 to push the movable seat 20 to rotate in the mounting hole 21 when the friction rod 42 moves in a straight line.

[0404] In one embodiment, the piezoelectric mechanism further includes a counterweight 47, which is fixedly connected to the piezoelectric element 41 and located on the side away from the friction rod 42. The counterweight 47 is mounted on the base 10, and the piezoelectric element 41 is disposed on the base 10 via the counterweight 47.

[0405] The counterweight 47, the piezoelectric element 41, and the friction rod 42 are stacked sequentially along the linear motion direction of the friction rod 42.

[0406] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 11 and 12, the lens driving device includes a plurality of blades 30. These blades 30 are arranged circumferentially around the lens clearance aperture 50 and located above the base 10 and the movable seat 20. The radially outer sides of the blades 30 are rotatably connected to the base 10 in a direction parallel to the axis. The blades 30 are arranged in a ring shape, and their radially inner sides form an adjustable aperture adjustment aperture 30a. The movable seat 20 is connected to each blade 30. A driving mechanism 40 drives the movable seat 20 to rotate around the axis, thereby causing the blades 30 to rotate. As the blades 30 rotate, their radially inner sides move away from or closer to the axis, causing the diameter of the aperture adjustment aperture 30a to gradually increase or decrease. Because the opening size of the aperture adjustment aperture 30a changes, the light entering the lens changes accordingly, thus achieving lens obstruction and aperture adjustment.

[0407] In one embodiment, a fixing hole is provided on the radially outer side of the blade 30.

[0408] The base 10 is provided with a support protrusion 12, and the movable seat 20 is arranged around the outside of the support protrusion 12. The top of the support protrusion 12 is provided with a fixing pin 13, which is rotatably connected to the fixing hole, so that the radial outer side of the blade 30 is rotatably connected to the support protrusion 12 of the base 10 around the axial direction (that is, the up and down direction) of the fixing pin 13.

[0409] The number of fixing pins 13 is not less than the number of blades 30, so that one blade 30 can be rotatably connected to a corresponding fixing pin 13. For example, when there are six blades 30, the number of fixing pins 13 is also six.

[0410] Several fixed pins 13 are preferably evenly arranged circumferentially at the top of the support protrusion 12.

[0411] The fixing hole is a circular hole that rotatably connects with the fixing pin 13.

[0412] In one embodiment, the blade 30 is provided with a movable hole, and the top of the movable seat 20 is provided with a movable pin 22. The movable pin 22 is connected to the movable hole on the blade 30. When the movable seat 20 rotates, the movable pin 22 drives the blade 30 to rotate around a direction parallel to the axis, thereby causing the diameter of the aperture adjustment hole 30a to change.

[0413] The number of movable pins 22 is not less than the number of blades 30, so that one blade 30 can be connected to a corresponding movable pin 22. For example, when there are six blades 30, the number of movable pins 22 is also six.

[0414] Several movable pins 22 are preferably evenly arranged circumferentially at the top of the movable seat 20.

[0415] In one embodiment, the base 10 has a plurality of fixed protrusions 14 arranged circumferentially along its edge. The fixed protrusions 14 are located outside the movable seat 20, and a fixed post 15 is provided at the top of the fixed protrusions 14.

[0416] The lens driving device also includes a top cover 70, which is fixedly connected to the fixing post 15, and forms a movable space between the top cover 70 and the base 10. The top cover 70, the movable seat 20 and the base 10 are provided with lens clearance holes 50 along the axis to cooperate with the lens. That is to say, the top cover 70 also has a top cover hole in the middle, and the diameter of the top cover hole is not smaller than the diameter of the lens clearance hole 50.

[0417] The movable seat 20, several blades 30 and the drive mechanism 40 are all arranged in the movable space, and the movable seat 20 and several blades 30 can rotate in the movable space.

[0418] One or more fixing posts 15 at the top of the fixing protrusion 14 can be set as needed.

[0419] The above embodiments of the present invention provide a piezoelectric element applied to a lens driving device for adjusting lens aperture. Of course, the piezoelectric element of the present invention can also be used in other piezoelectric driving scenarios, such as lens zoom and image stabilization, to achieve noise reduction during movement.

[0420] Example 1:

[0421] Before driving the piezoelectric element, the minimum duty cycle is preset. Preset the minimum pulse frequency f and the minimum pulse amplitude A.

[0422] When using a square wave signal to drive a piezoelectric element, the control cycle is divided into 10 adjustment cycles. Based on the principle that the pulse frequency of each pulse cycle in a single adjustment cycle is the same, and the pulse frequency of at least one adjustment cycle is different, the pulse frequency of at least one adjustment cycle is adjusted to be different from the pulse frequency of other adjustment cycles.

[0423] When using a square wave signal to drive a piezoelectric element, the duty cycle of each pulse cycle is adjusted to gradually increase from the lowest duty cycle to half a control cycle, and then gradually decrease back to the lowest duty cycle.

[0424] Figure 6 shows two control cycles of a square wave signal, where the horizontal axis represents the time parameter in seconds (s) and the vertical axis represents the voltage parameter in volts (V). Each control cycle has 10 pulse periods. The duty cycle of each pulse period within the control cycle is adjusted as follows:

[0425] As shown in Figure 6, within the control cycle, when the pulse frequencies of the two adjustment cycles are different, the number of pulse cycles of the two cycles is also different.

[0426] When using a square wave signal to drive a piezoelectric element, the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle is adjusted to gradually increase from the lowest pulse amplitude to half a control cycle, and then gradually decrease back to the lowest pulse amplitude.

[0427] As shown in Figure 6, each control cycle has 10 pulse cycles. Therefore, the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle within the control cycle is adjusted as follows:

[0428] 6V, 9V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 15V, 12V, 9V, 9V, 6V;

[0429] In this embodiment, the other parameters of each pulse period are the same as those of the traditional fixed-condition square wave drive mode.

[0430] This embodiment adjusts the traditional fixed-condition square wave drive mode to a variable square wave drive mode. During the movement process of the piezoelectric element displacement with respect to time, as shown in Figure 7, the displacement changes more gradually compared to Figure 2. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the rate of change of velocity and acceleration at the start and end of the piezoelectric element's movement is reduced. Because the velocity and acceleration changes slowly during the start and stop intervals, as shown in Figure 10, interval (A) represents the noise when the piezoelectric element starts moving, interval (B) represents the noise when the piezoelectric element is in stable motion, and interval (C) represents the noise when the piezoelectric element stops moving. It can be seen that the variable square wave drive mode results in a sound pressure level peak of approximately 10 mPa, which is significantly lower than the traditional fixed-condition square wave drive mode.

[0431] In the above embodiments of the present invention, the number of decimal places to be retained for each parameter of infinite decimals can be predetermined and controlled.

[0432] In Figure 6, the duty cycle of each pulse cycle within a control cycle can also be considered as the pre-determined duty cycle of the pulse cycle without duty cycle adjustment. Within the control cycle, there are 8 duty cycle periods to be adjusted, including those with the same duty cycle and those with different duty cycles. Alternatively, the duty cycle of the pulse period for which duty cycle adjustment is not performed can be considered predetermined as... Of course, it can also be assumed that the duty cycle of the pulse period without duty cycle adjustment is predetermined as follows:

[0433] In other embodiments, the pulse periods described above can be shuffled or adjusted, for example:

[0434] Of course, the duty cycle of each pulse period can also be other values, as long as the duty cycle of at least one pulse period is different from the duty cycle of other pulse periods within the control period.

[0435] In Figure 6, the pulse frequency of each adjustment cycle within a control cycle can also be considered as the pulse frequency of the adjustment cycle that is not adjusted in advance. Within the control cycle, there is at least one adjustment frequency cycle, among which there are adjustment frequency cycles with the same pulse frequency and adjustment frequency cycles with different pulse frequencies.

[0436] In other embodiments, the pulse frequency of the adjustment period in Figure 6 can be shuffled.

[0437] Of course, the pulse frequency of each adjustment cycle can also be other values, as long as the pulse frequency of at least one adjustment cycle is different from the pulse frequency of other adjustment cycles within the control cycle.

[0438] The pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle within a control cycle can be considered as follows: the pulse amplitude of the pulse cycle for which no pulse amplitude adjustment is performed is predetermined to be 6V. Within the control cycle, there are 8 pulse cycles for which amplitude adjustment is to be performed, including those with the same pulse amplitude and those with different pulse amplitudes. Alternatively, the pulse amplitude of the pulse cycle for which no pulse amplitude adjustment is performed can be considered as 9V. Of course, the pulse amplitude of the pulse cycle for which no pulse amplitude adjustment is performed can also be considered as 12V, etc.

[0439] In other embodiments, the pulse periods described above can be shuffled or adjusted, for example:

[0440] 9V, 6V, 9V, 12V, 15V, 12V, 15V, 9V, 6V, 9V;

[0441] Of course, the pulse amplitude of each pulse cycle can also be other values, as long as the pulse amplitude of at least one pulse cycle is different from the pulse amplitude of other pulse cycles within the control period.

[0442] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, it should be understood that after reading the above teachings of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention.

[0443] These equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
