Actuator for reflector having moving frame with reflector and camera module including the same
An actuator for a reflector according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a moving frame having a reflector configured to reflect light to a lens, and a magnet, a base frame configured to provide a moving space for the moving frame, a driving coil configured to generate a magnetic force at the magnet so that the moving frame rotates based on the base frame, a guide rail formed at any one of the moving frame and base frame and having a rounded shape, a holder provided to any one of the moving frame and the base frame not provided with the guide rail, provided in a direction facing the guide rail, and having a groove shape; and a ball arranged between the guide rail and the holder.
1 . An actuator for a reflector, comprising:
a moving frame having a reflector configured to reflect light to a lens, and a magnet;
a base frame configured to provide a moving space for the moving frame;
a driving coil configured to generate a magnetic force at the magnet so that the moving frame rotates based on the base frame;
a guide rail formed at any one of the moving frame and the base frame and having a rounded shape;
a holder provided to any one of the moving frame and the base frame not provided with the guide rail, provided in a direction facing the guide rail, and having a groove shape; and
a ball arranged between the guide rail and the holder, and
wherein the moving frame rotates along a path corresponding to the guide rail.
2 . The actuator for a reflector according to claim 1 ,
wherein the holder includes a plurality of holders arranged side by side to correspond to a longitudinal direction of the guide rail, and
wherein the ball is arranged at each of the plurality of holders.
3 . The actuator for a reflector according to claim 2 ,
wherein the plurality of holders are spaced apart from the guide rail by the same distance based on the direction facing the guide rail.
4 . The actuator for a reflector according to claim 1 ,
wherein an inner surface of the holder includes at least one plane that makes a point contact with the ball.
5 . The actuator for a reflector according to claim 4 ,
wherein the plane has a shape that becomes narrower inward.
6 . The actuator for a reflector according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a yoke provided to the base frame to generate an attractive force at the magnet,
wherein a center of a portion of the yoke facing the magnet coincides with a center of the magnet.
7 . A camera module, comprising the actuator for a reflector according to claim 1 .
