Abstract

The present invention provides a lens holding device excellent in an impact resistance. The lens holding device comprising a lens carrier having a cylindrical shape extending in an optical axis direction of a lens and holding said lens at an inner peripheral face side, a coil provided to a coil attaching part formed at an outer peripheral face of said lens carrier, an outer wall part, an inner wall part placed so that said coil is between said outer wall part, a connection part connecting said outer wall part and said inner wall part; and said inner face part has an inner face facing said lens carrier, an outer face facing said coil, and a first side face and a second side face which connects said inner face and said outer face and approximately parallel to each other, further at said outer peripheral face of said lens carrier, a control part is formed which has a main face facing said inner face, a first projection face facing said first side face, and a second projection face facing said second side face.

Claims (11)

1. A lens holding device comprising:

a lens carrier having a cylindrical shape extending in an optical axis direction of a lens and holding said lens at an inner peripheral face side,

a coil provided to a coil attaching part formed at an outer peripheral face of said lens carrier, and

a yoke having an outer wall part extending in a direction substantially parallel to said optical axis direction, an inner wall part extending in a direction substantially parallel to said optical axis direction and provided by placing said coil between said outer wall part which is closer to said lens carrier than said outer wall part, and a connection part extending in the direction substantially perpendicular to said optical axis direction and connecting said outer wall part and said inner wall part; wherein:

said inner wall part has an inner face facing said lens carrier, an outer face which is substantially parallel to said inner face and facing said coil, and a first side face and a second side face substantially parallel against each other and connects said inner face and said outer face;

at said outer peripheral face of said lens carrier, a control part is formed having a main face facing said inner face, a first projection face connected to one of end parts of said main face and faces said first side face by standing up towards said coil side from said main face; and a second projection face connected to other end parts of said main face and faces said second side face by standing up towards said coil side from said main face; and

said first protection face and said second projection face extend substantially parallel to each other in a direction substantially parallel to said optical axis direction.

2. The lens holding device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said inner face of said inner wall part and said main face of said control part are a planar shape.

3. The lens holding device as set forth in claim 1 wherein said yoke has four said inner wall part and four connection parts placed at positions which are rotated by approximately 90 degrees taking said optical axis at a center, and

said outer wall part connects said four connection parts; and

at said outer peripheral face of said lens carrier, four control parts each facing four said inner wall parts are formed.
