Optical Element Driving Mechanism With Integrated Circuit Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Modern electronic devices with image-capturing or video-recording functions face challenges in reducing the size of the optical element driving mechanism while maintaining durability.
Innovation Solution
The optical element driving mechanism includes a movable portion, a fixed portion, a first driving assembly, and a circuit assembly. The movable portion is connected to an optical element and moves relative to the fixed portion, driven by the first driving assembly. The circuit assembly is connected to an external circuit and affixed on the fixed portion, allowing for miniaturization and increased durability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Volume of moving object
If the optical element driving mechanism is miniaturized to fit modern thin and lightweight electronic devices, then the device size is reduced, but the durability and reliability of the mechanism deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the circuit assembly with the fixed portion by affixing it directly onto the fixed portion. This integration reduces the overall number of separate components and minimizes the space required, thereby reducing the size of the driving mechanism while maintaining structural integrity and reliability through the unified design.
Solution Approach 2:
The circuit assembly is affixed on the surface of the fixed portion rather than being mounted separately in three-dimensional space. This two-dimensional integration approach reduces the vertical height and overall volume of the mechanism while preserving all necessary electrical connections and functional reliability.
2Length of stationary object
If the optical element driving mechanism is miniaturized, then the device thickness is reduced, but the structural strength and stability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
By integrating the circuit assembly directly onto the fixed portion, the patent eliminates separate mounting structures and fasteners that would increase thickness. The merged structure achieves structural strength through the inherent rigidity of the integrated components rather than additional mechanical fastening elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The fixed portion serves as a composite structure that mechanically supports the optical element while electrically supporting the circuit assembly. This multi-functional fixed portion achieves both structural strength and electrical functionality within a reduced thickness profile.
