Abstract

A focusing motor an enclosure includes: a lens barrel; a lower support; an iron sheet perpendicularly fixed to the lower support; a coil attached to an inner surface of the iron sheet; at least one pair of magnets arranged on an outer side of the barrel along an optic axis of the barrel and parallel to the coil, a magnetic pole of one magnet is opposite to that of an adjacent magnet; a first guide rail disposed on the outer side of the barrel; a second guide rail disposed on an inner side of the lower support and parallel to the first guide rail; and a pulley assembly located between the barrel and the lower support, and movable along the first and second guide rails.

Claims (18)

1. A lens driving motor, comprising:

an enclosure;

a lens barrel having an optical axis and disposed inside the enclosure;

a lower support for cooperating with the enclosure to receive the lens barrel, and having a base arranged perpendicularly to the optical axis and two sidewalls;

an iron sheet perpendicularly fixed to the lower support;

a coil attached to an inner surface of the iron sheet;

at least one pair of magnets arranged on an outer side of the barrel along the optical axis and parallel to the coil, a magnetic pole of one magnet being opposite to that of an adjacent magnet;

a first guide rail disposed on the outer side of the barrel;

a second guide rail disposed on an inner side of each of the two sidewalls of the lower support and parallel to the first guide rail; and

a pulley assembly located between the barrel and the two sidewalls of the lower support, and movable along the first and second guide rails.

2. The lens driving motor of claim 1 , wherein: the two sidewalls extend vertically and upwards from the base and are spaced apart from each other, the iron sheet is disposed between the sidewalls and fixed to the sidewalls, and the second guide rails of the lower support are disposed on the sidewalls.

3. The lens driving motor of claim 2 , wherein the lens driving motor further comprises a pair of spring sheets, each of the spring sheets has one end thereof fixed to an upper surface of the respective sidewall and the other end thereof fixed to a corner of an upper surface of the lens barrel adjacent to the respective sidewall.

4. The lens driving motor of claim 1 , wherein: the pulley assembly comprises two pairs of first pulleys and a pair of second pulleys, the two pairs of first pulleys and the pair of second pulleys are arranged along the optical axis, and the pair of second pulleys is located between the two pairs of first pulleys.

5. The lens driving motor of claim 4 , wherein the two first pulleys of each pair are connected with each other by a connecting link that is perpendicular to the optical axis.

6. The lens driving motor of claim 4 , wherein: a rotation direction of the pair of second pulleys is opposite to a rotation direction of the two pairs of first pulleys, and an outer diameter of the second pulleys is smaller than an outer diameter of the first pulleys.

7. The lens driving motor of claim 1 , wherein the coil is attached to the iron sheet by adhesive.

8. The lens driving motor of claim 1 , wherein when the lens barrel moves linearly along an axial direction thereof, the pulley assembly rolls along the axial direction of the lens barrel at the same time.

9. The lens driving motor of claim 1 , wherein the enclosure and the lower support cooperate to receive the lens barrel, the iron sheet, the pair of magnets, the coil and the pulley assembly therein.
