The application belongs to the technical field of fast reflecting mirror, and discloses a reaction disturbance self-compensation fast reflecting mirror driven by a voice coil motor, which can flexibly change the position of a virtual rotating shaft by adjusting the included angle between the spring blades on the spring blade group. Compared with the rotating shaft of the traditional compliant mechanism which is limited in the mechanism, the virtual rotating shaft of the compliant mechanism can cover the theoretical working position and can be flexibly configured according to the load characteristics, which greatly improves the design freedom. Through the interaction force between the voice coil motor coil and the magnetic base, the compensation block is driven to move while driving the reflecting mirror to deflect, and the reverse dynamic compensation force generated by the deflection of the compensation block is used to realize the compensation of the reaction force on the base, replacing the mirror image arrangement actuator in the traditional scheme. Compared with the traditional scheme, the application is more integrated, the response is more direct, the control cost is lower, and the overall machine quality is smaller.
