Objective-lens driving apparatus and optical disk apparatus
View Patent ↗An optical disk apparatus includes an objective-lens for converging light on a recording surface of an optical disk, and an objective-lens driving device for driving the objective-lens in a focusing direction and a tracking direction. The objective-lens driving device includes a focusing coil having four edges to enclose the objective-lens, and two pairs of permanent magnets. The two pairs of permanent magnets are arranged so that polarities thereof become identical to sides of focusing coil, wherein one pair of the permanent magnets is arranged opposed to an edge of the focusing coil, and an other pair of the permanent magnets is arranged opposed to an edge opposite to the edge of the focusing coil. An interval between two magnets constituting the one pair of permanent magnets is narrower than an interval between two magnets constituting the other pair of permanent magnets.
1. An optical disk apparatus including an objective-lens for converging light on a recording surface of an optical disk, and an objective-lens driving device for driving the objective-lens in a focusing direction and a tracking direction,
wherein the objective-lens driving device includes a focusing coil having four edges to enclose the objective-lens, and two pairs of permanent magnets, the two pairs of permanent magnets being arranged so that polarities thereof become identical to sides of focusing coil, one pair of the permanent magnets being arranged opposed to an edge of the focusing coil, an other pair of the permanent magnets being arranged opposed to an edge opposite to the edge of the focusing coil, and an interval between two magnets constituting the one pair of permanent magnets is narrower than an interval between two magnets constituting the other pair of permanent magnets.
2. The optical disk apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a direction of the edge of the focusing coil and a direction of an assumed line between the two magnets constituting the one pair of permanent magnets, is the tracking direction on the optical disk.
3. The optical disk apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising two pairs of tracking coils, wherein one pair of tracking coils are arranged on an edge of the focusing coil, an other pair of tracking coils are arranged on an edge opposite to the edge of focusing coil, and an interval between two tracking coils constituting the one pair of tracking coils is wider than an interval between two tracking coils constituting the other pair of tracking coils.
4. The optical disk apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising two pairs of tracking coils, wherein one pair of tracking coils are arranged on an edge of the focusing coil, an other pair of tracking coils are arranged on an edge opposite to the edge of focusing coil, and an interval between two tracking coils constituting the one pair of tracking coils is wider than an interval between two tracking coils constituting the other pair of tracking coils.
