Light Path Adjustment Mechanism With Raised Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional light path adjustment mechanisms are bulky, heavy, and occupy significant space, making them difficult to miniaturize and integrate into micro-electronic devices, and they lack structural strength and vibration control.
Innovation Solution
A compact light path adjustment mechanism is designed using a carrier with an outer and inner frame connected by elastic members, featuring a raised structure for reinforcement and reduced component count, allowing actuators to be positioned overlapping the carrier to minimize space and weight, while the raised structure enhances structural strength and controls natural frequency to prevent resonance vibrations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If actuators are disposed overlapping the carrier, then occupied space, weight and component number are reduced, but structural strength and resistance to deformation decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The raised structure is integrally formed with the carrier as one piece, merging the reinforcement function into the carrier body itself. This eliminates the need for separate reinforcement components while maintaining structural integrity despite the overlapping actuator arrangement.
Solution Approach 2:
The raised structure protrudes from the carrier surface in a vertical dimension, adding structural strength without increasing the horizontal footprint. This allows the actuator to overlap the carrier in the horizontal plane while the raised structure provides reinforcement in the vertical dimension.
2Device complexity
If the number of components is reduced, then device complexity and weight decrease, but manufacturing precision and assembly difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functional elements (carrier, reinforcement structure, actuator mounting surface) are merged into a single integrally formed carrier component. This reduces the total number of parts and assembly steps while the raised structure provides built-in alignment and positioning features that maintain manufacturing precision.

AI summary
A light path adjustment mechanism includes a support, a carrier, an optical plate member and a raised structure. The carrier is disposed in the support and connected to the support by a first connection bar and a second connection bar. The optical plate member is disposed on the carrier, and the raised structure is provided on a periphery of the carrier and integrally formed as one piece with the carrier.
