Abstract

A lens driver with camera shake reducing function in which the suspension wire will not easily undergo a plastic bending and the camera shake reducing function will not be degraded and the photographed image will not be deformed when mounting the lens or impacting the lens. The direction of photographed object is set to the forward direction of the optical axis of the lens, and the invention comprises: an auto-focusing unit that moves the lens in the direction of optical axis; and a camera shake reducing unit that causes the auto-focusing unit to swing in a direction at right angle to the direction of optical axis, and the auto-focusing unit comprises a magnet for focusing which is mounted on the outer circumference of the lens and which is held by a magnet holder, and the camera shake reducing unit comprises: a suspension wire which extending in the direction of optical axis and the forward direction of the optical axis of which is connected with the magnet holder and which supports the magnet holder in form of suspension rack such that it may swing; and a yoke that faces the magnet for focusing in a manner that it is spaced from the magnet for focusing in forward direction of the optical axis.

Claims (12)

1. A lens driver with camera shake reducing function, characterized in that, a direction of a photographed object is set to a forward direction of an optical axis of a lens within the lens driver; the lens driver with camera shake reducing function comprises:

an auto-focusing unit configured for moving the lens in a direction parallel with the optical axis of the lens; and

a camera shake reducing unit configured for driving the auto-focusing unit to swing in a direction at right angle to a direction parallel with the optical axis;

wherein the auto-focusing unit comprises a plurality of rectangle magnets which are mounted on an outer circumference of the lens and which are held by a magnet holder;

wherein the camera shake reducing unit comprises:

a base carrier;

a base carrier side wall with a shape of a box formed by four borders and connected with the base carrier from a forward side thereof;

a base cover covered on the base carrier side wall;

a plurality of suspension wires each of which extends in a direction parallel to the optical axis and with a forward end connected with the magnet holder and a rear end connected to the base carrier, the plurality of suspension wires being configured for supporting the magnet holder in form of suspension rack such that the magnet holder may swing; and

a plurality of rectangle yokes each of which faces the a corresponding one of the magnets in a manner that it is spaced from the magnet in the forward direction of the optical axis;

wherein the plurality of rectangle yokes are mounted on a rear surface of the base cover;

wherein when viewed from the forward direction of the optical axis, a width, along a radial direction of the lens, of the yoke is larger than that of the magnet, and a length, perpendicular to the radial direction of the lens, of the yoke is smaller than that of the magnet; a center of each yoke is near a center of the corresponding one of the plurality of magnets in order to cause the auto-focusing unit to restore stably towards a position where the suspension wires come into a state of straight line in operation.
