Abstract

A multiple lenses driving mechanism is provided, including a frame, a first lens holder, a second lens holder, a first lens driving assembly, a second lens driving assembly and a stopper. The first and second lens holders are disposed in the frame, arranged along a longitudinal axis for respectively holding a first lens and a second lens. The first lens and the second lens define a first optical axis and a second optical axis, respectively. The first and second lens driving assemblies are disposed in the frame to drive the first lens holder and the second lens holder, respectively. The stopper is disposed between the first and second lens holders and has a first restricting surface and a second restricting surface, facing the first and second lens holders, so as to restrict the first and second lens holders in a first restricted position and a second restricted position.

Claims (29)

1. A multiple lenses driving mechanism, comprising:

a frame;

a first lens holder and a second lens holder disposed in the frame and arranged along a longitudinal axis for respectively holding a first lens and a second lens, wherein the first lens and the second lens respectively define a first optical axis and a second optical axis;

a first lens driving assembly and a second lens driving assembly disposed in the frame to respectively drive the first lens holder and the second lens holder; and

a stopper disposed between the first and second lens holders that has a first restricting surface and a second restricting surface, wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface respectively face the first lens holder and the second lens holder, so as to restrict the first and second lens holders in a first restricted position and a second restricted position, the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface are parallel to each other, and the material of the stopper includes metal.

2. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the material of the stopper includes nonmagnetic material.

3. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface are not parallel to each other.

4. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stopper is disposed at a side of the frame.

5. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens holder comprises a restrict portion, and the restrict portion comprises a stopping face that faces the stopper.

6. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a base, wherein the stopper and the base are integrally formed at one piece.

7. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a damping element disposed between the stopper and the first lens holder.

8. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a damping element disposed between the first lens holder and the second lens holder.

9. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a position sensing element disposed on the stopper.

10. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface is between the first optical axis and the second optical axis along the longitudinal axis.

11. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of stoppers disposed between the first lens holder and the second lens holder.

12. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the stopper and the frame are integrally formed at one piece.

13. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first lens holder has a C-shaped structure.

14. A multiple lenses driving mechanism, comprising:

a frame;

a first lens holder and a second lens holder disposed in the frame and arranged along a longitudinal axis for respectively holding a first lens and a second lens, wherein the first lens and the second lens respectively define a first optical axis and a second optical axis;

a first lens driving assembly and a second lens driving assembly disposed in the frame to respectively drive the first lens holder and the second lens holder;

a stopper disposed between the first and second lens holders that has a first restricting surface and a second restricting surface; and

a damping element disposed between the stopper and the first lens holder, wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface respectively face the first lens holder and the second lens holder, so as to restrict the first and second lens holders in a first restricted position and a second restricted position.

15. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface are parallel to each other.

16. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface are not parallel to each other.

17. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the first lens holder comprises a restrict portion, and the restrict portion comprises a stopping face that faces the stopper.

18. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising a damping element disposed between the first lens holder and the second lens holder.

19. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the first restricting surface and the second restricting surface is between the first optical axis and the second optical axis along the longitudinal axis.

20. The multiple lenses driving mechanism system as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of stoppers disposed between the first lens holder and the second lens holder.
