Moving mechanism
A moving mechanism for holding a lens is provided, including a carrier having an accommodating space, a coil, a sensing object, a base, at least one magnetic member, and a position detector, wherein the lens is disposed in the accommodating space. The coil and the sensing object are disposed on the carrier, and the coil surrounds the accommodating space. At least a portion of the coil is disposed between the sensing object and the accommodating space. The magnetic member and the position detector are disposed on the base, and the position detector is adjacent to the sensing object. When a current flows through the coil, the carrier moves relative to the base.
1. A moving mechanism for holding a lens, comprising:
a carrier, having an accommodating space, wherein the lens is disposed in the accommodating space;
a coil, disposed on the carrier and surrounding the accommodating space;
a sensing object, disposed on the carrier and having a first surface and a second surface, wherein at least a portion of the coil is disposed between the sensing object and the accommodating space, the first surface faces the accommodating space, the second surface is adjacent to the first surface and faces a position detector, and the first surface is not parallel to the second surface;
a base;
at least one magnetic member, disposed on the base; and
wherein the position detector is disposed on the base and adjacent to the sensing object, wherein when a current flows through the coil, the carrier moves relative to the base.
2. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sensing object is disposed between the position detector and the coil.
3. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the carrier further comprises a position-restricting member having at least one opening, wherein the sensing object is disposed in the position-restricting member, and the opening is formed between the coil and the lateral side of the base.
4. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the position-restricting member further comprises a first restricting portion and a second restricting portion, and the first restricting portion is separated from the second restricting portion.
5. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the first restricting portion has a U-shaped structure and the second restricting portion has another U-shaped structure, wherein the first restricting portion and the second restricting portion are symmetrical.
6. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the carrier further comprises a concave structure, and the coil is disposed in the concave structure.
7. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the distance between the first restricting portion and the second restricting portion exceeds or is the same as the height of the concave structure.
8. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the moving mechanism further comprises a first elastic member connecting the base and the carrier.
9. The moving mechanism as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the position detector comprises a hall sensor, a magnetoresistance effect sensor, a giant magnetoresistance effect sensor, a tunneling magnetoresistance effect sensor, an optical encoder, or an infrared sensor.
