Abstract

The present invention provides a lens driving device includes at least two spring components each of which includes an inner side retaining part, an outer side retaining part, a plurality of wrist parts configured between the inner and outer side retaining parts and prolonged along the circumference direction, inner side connecting parts for connecting one ends of the wrist parts with the inner side connecting part, and outer side connecting parts for connecting the other ends of the wrist parts with the outer side retaining part. Moreover, serpentine necking parts are formed at the roots of the connecting part of the inner side retaining part, straight line-shaped necking parts are formed at the roots of the connecting part of the outer side retaining part, so that stresses acting on the inner side connecting parts and the outer side connecting parts during assembling are absorbed.

Claims (39)

1. A lens driving device, comprising:

a lens support for retaining a lens;

a box body;

spring components for suspending the lens support on the box body and enabling the lens support to move along the Z axis direction as the direction of the optical axis of the lens; and

an electromagnetic driving mechanism for driving the lens support to move along the Z axis direction;

wherein each spring component comprises:

an inner side retaining part installed on the lens support;

an outer side retaining part installed on the box body;

a plurality of wrist parts, configured between the inner side retaining part and the outer side retaining part and prolonged in one or both of a circumference direction and a radial direction;

a plurality of inner side connecting parts, extending from the inner side retaining part to the plurality of wrist parts respectively and each configured for connecting one end of a corresponding one of the plurality of wrist parts with the inner side retaining part;

a plurality of outer side connecting parts, extending from the outer side retaining part to the plurality of wrist parts respectively and each configured for connecting the other end of a corresponding one of the plurality of wrist parts with the outer side retaining part; and

a plurality of necking parts, formed on first roots and/or second roots;

wherein each first root is a root of a connecting part, connected with one of the plurality of inner side connecting parts, of the inner side retaining part; the second root is a root of a connecting part, connected with one of the plurality of outer side connecting parts, of the outer side retaining part; a width of each necking part is smaller than that of the wrist part;

the electromagnetic driving mechanism receives an acting force at the back of the Z axis on the side opposite to the side of an object to be shot at an initial state as the state before operation.

2. The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of necking parts is formed to be serpentine.

3. The lens driving device of claim 2 , wherein concave parts are formed on the lens support for fixing the inner side retaining parts and/or the box body for fixing the outer side retaining parts, the necking parts of the retaining parts abut to the concave parts.

4. The lens driving device of claim 3 , wherein parts of the lens support and the box body for fixing the retaining parts and for the necking parts to abut, and the necking parts are wrapped by liquid sealing material, and are fastened.

5. The lens driving device of claim 2 , wherein parts of the lens support and the box body for fixing the retaining parts and for the necking parts to abut, and the necking parts are wrapped by liquid sealing material, and are cured.

6. The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of necking parts is formed to be straight line-shaped.

7. The lens driving device of claim 6 , wherein concave parts are formed on the lens support for fixing the inner side retaining parts and/or the box body for fixing the outer side retaining parts, the necking parts of the retaining parts abut to the concave parts.

8. The lens driving device of claim 7 , wherein parts of the lens support and the box body for fixing the retaining parts and for the necking parts to abut, and the necking parts are wrapped by liquid sealing material, and are fastened.

9. The lens driving device of claim 6 , wherein parts of the lens support and the box body for fixing the retaining parts and for the necking parts to abut, and the necking parts are wrapped by liquid sealing material, and are cured.

10. The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein concave parts are formed on the lens support for fixing the inner side retaining parts and/or the box body for fixing the outer side retaining parts, the necking parts of the retaining parts abut to the concave parts.

11. The lens driving device of claim 10 , wherein parts of the lens support and the box body for fixing the retaining parts and for the necking parts to abut, and the necking parts are wrapped by liquid sealing material, and are fastened.

12. The lens driving device of claim 1 , wherein parts of the lens support and the box body for fixing the retaining parts and for the necking parts to abut, and the necking parts are wrapped by liquid sealing material, and are cured.

13. A lens driving device, comprising:

a lens support for retaining a lens;

a box body;

spring components for suspending the lens support on the box body and enabling the lens support to move along the Z axis direction as the direction of the optical axis of the lens; and

an electromagnetic driving mechanism for driving the lens support to move along the Z axis direction;

wherein each spring component comprises:

an inner side retaining part installed on the lens support;

an outer side retaining part installed on the box body;

a wrist part, configured between the inner side retaining part and the outer side retaining part and prolonged in one or both of a circumference direction and a radial direction;

an inner side connecting part, extending from the inner side retaining part to the wrist part and configured for connecting one end of the wrist part with the inner side retaining part;

a outer side connecting part, extending from the outer side retaining part to the wrist part and configured for connecting the other end of the wrist part with the outer side retaining part; and

at least a necking part, formed on a first root and/or a second root;

wherein the first root is a root of a connecting part, connected with the inner side connecting part, of the inner side retaining part; the second root is a root of a connecting part, connected with the outer side connecting parts, of the outer side retaining part; a width of each necking part is smaller than that of the wrist part;

the electromagnetic driving mechanism receives an acting force at the back of the Z axis on the side opposite to the side of an object to be shot at an initial state as the state before operation.
