OBJECTIVE LENS HOLDER, OBJECTIVE LENS DRIVING DEVICE USING THE SAME, OPTICAL PICKUP DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING OBJECTIVE LENS DRIVING DEVICE
Provided is an objective lens (OBL) holder and the like making it possible to easily supply an adhesive to a coil accommodated in an enclosure-shaped holder. An OBL holder of the present invention includes: a main surface portion provide with a fixing part on which an objective lens is fixed; and a first side-wall portion and a second side-wall portion provide with bobbins around each of which a tracking coil for driving the OBL holder itself by using a magnetic effect is wound. In the present invention, a communication hole provided in each of the bobbins penetrates the first side-wall portion and allows a region inside the OBL holder to communicate with the outside. A focusing coil is disposed in the region. This makes it possible to supply the adhesive to the focusing coil through the communication holes.
1 . An objective lens holder which is movably supported by an objective lens driving device of an optical pickup device and holds an objective lens, the objective lens holder comprising:
a main surface portion provided with a fixing part on which the objective lens is fixed;
a side wall portion provided with a bobbin around which a tracking coil for driving the objective lens holder itself by using a magnetic effect is wound; and
an accommodation region which is inside the side wall portion and in which a focusing coil is accommodated, wherein
a communication hole is provided inside the bobbin, the communication hole penetrating the side wall portion and allowing the accommodation region to communicate with outside.
2 . The objective lens holder according to claim 1 , wherein the accommodation region includes a first accommodation region and a second accommodation region arranged in portions between the fixing part and two ends of the objective lens holder, respectively, and
the communication hole of the bobbin is arranged at a position where the communication hole communicates with the first accommodation region or the second communication region.
3 . The objective lens holder according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the communication holes are arranged at positions across the focusing coil.
4 . The objective lens holder according to claim 1 , wherein
the side wall portion includes
a first side-wall portion and second side-wall portion each extending in a longitudinal direction of the objective lens holder, the second side-wall portion opposed to the first side-wall portion,
a third side-wall portion and a fourth side-wall portion each extending in a short-side direction of the objective lens holder, the fourth side-wall portion opposed to the third side-wall portion,
the bobbin includes
a first bobbin and a second bobbin arranged on two sides of the first side-wall portion outside the fixing part, and
a third bobbin and a fourth bobbin arranged on two sides of the second side-wall portion outside the fixing part, and
the bobbins include the communication holes, respectively.
5 . The objective lens holder according to claim 4 , wherein the first accommodation region is arranged in a corner portion facing onto an inner side surface of the third side-wall portion, and the second accommodation region is arranged in a corner portion facing onto an inner side surface of the fourth side-wall portion.
6 . The objective lens holder according to claim 1 , wherein
the bobbin includes a tubular portion and a flange portion which is formed by outwardly extending the perimeter of an outer end portion of the tubular portion, and
the inside of the tubular portion is the communication hole.
7 . The objective lens holder according to claim 6 , wherein the tubular portion of the bobbin is provided with a through-hole penetrating the tubular portion in a thickness direction thereof.
8 . An objective lens driving device in which an objective lens holder holding an objective lens is supported movably relative to an actuator frame, wherein
the objective lens holder comprises
a main surface portion provided with a fixing part on which the objective lens is fixed,
a side wall portion provided with a bobbin around which a tracking coil for driving the objective lens holder itself by using a magnetic effect is wound, and
an accommodation region which is inside the side wall portion and in which a focusing coil is accommodated, and
a communication hole is provided inside the bobbin penetrating the side wall portion and allowing the accommodation region to communicate with the outside.
9 . An optical pickup device, wherein the objective lens driving device according to claim 8 is disposed in a housing.
10 . A method for manufacturing an objective lens driving device comprising the steps of:
preparing the objective lens holder according to claim 1 ;
winding the tracking coil around the bobbin;
accommodating the focusing coil in the accommodation region; and
supplying an adhesive to the focusing coil accommodated in the accommodation region, through the communication hole of the bobbin.
