Camera actuator and camera module including the same
An embodiment of the present invention discloses a camera actuator including a housing, a mover disposed in the housing, a tilting guide part disposed between the housing and the mover, a driving part disposed in the housing to drive the mover, a first magnetic body disposed at the mover, and a second magnetic body disposed to face the first magnetic body, wherein the tilting guide part is pressed by the mover due to repulsive force of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body.
1 . A camera actuator comprising:
a housing;
a mover disposed in the housing;
a tilting guide part disposed between the housing and the mover;
a driving part disposed in the housing to drive the mover;
a first magnetic body disposed at the mover;
a first member coupled to the mover;
a second member disposed between the first member and the tilting guide part; and
a second magnetic body disposed to face the first magnetic body,
wherein the tilting guide part is pressed by the mover due to repulsive force of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body.
2 . The camera actuator of claim 1 , wherein:
the mover includes a groove configured to accommodate the tilting guide part; and
wherein the first member and the second member are configured to be accommodated in the groove.
3 . The camera actuator of claim 2 , wherein:
the tilting guide part is disposed between the first member and the second member.
4 . The camera actuator of claim 3 , wherein:
the groove includes a first groove located on a bottom surface;
the second member includes a second groove disposed on a surface facing the first groove;
the first magnetic body is disposed in the first groove; and
the second magnetic body is disposed in the second groove.
5 . The camera actuator of claim 4 , wherein the tilting guide part includes a base, a first protruding part that protrudes from a first surface of the base, and a second protruding part that protrudes from a second surface of the base.
6 . The camera actuator of claim 5 , wherein the mover is tilted about a first axis with respect to the first protruding part and is tilted about a second axis with respect to the second protruding part.
7 . The camera actuator of claim 6 , wherein:
the first member includes a first protrusion groove configured to accommodate the first protruding part; and
the second member includes a second protrusion groove configured to accommodate the second protruding part.
8 . The camera actuator of claim 7 , wherein:
the first member, the second member, and the tilting guide part at least partially overlap the mover along the second axis;
the tilting guide part overlaps the first member and the second member along a third axis; and
the third axis is perpendicular to the first axis and the second axis.
9 . The camera actuator of claim 6 , wherein:
the groove includes a first area in which the first member is accommodated and a second area in which the second member is accommodated; and
a height of the first area is larger than a height of the second area.
10 . The camera actuator of claim 9 , wherein:
the groove includes a third area in which the tilting guide part is accommodated; and
the third area is disposed between the first area and the second area.
11 . The camera actuator of claim 10 , wherein a height of the third area is smaller than the height of the first area and larger than the height of the second area.
12 . The camera actuator of claim 6 , wherein:
the driving part includes a driving magnet and a driving coil;
the driving magnet includes a first magnet, a second magnet, and a third magnet;
the driving coil includes a first coil, a second coil, and a third coil;
the first magnet and the second magnet are symmetrically disposed about the first axis on the mover;
the first coil and the second coil are symmetrically disposed about the first axis between the housing and the mover;
the third magnet is disposed on a bottom surface of the mover; and
the third coil is disposed on a bottom surface of the housing.
13 . The camera actuator of claim 12 , wherein the tilting guide part overlaps the third coil or the third magnet along a third axis.
14 . The camera actuator of claim 2 , wherein the second member is disposed between the tilting guide part and the first member.
15 . A camera actuator comprising:
a housing;
a mover disposed in the housing;
a tilting guide part disposed between the housing and the mover;
a driving part disposed in the housing to drive the mover;
a first magnetic body disposed at the mover;
a first member coupled to the mover;
a second member disposed between the first member and the tilting guide part; and
a support member disposed in the housing and in which a second magnetic body is disposed,
wherein the tilting guide part is disposed between the mover and the support member, and
surfaces of the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body that face each other have the same polarity.
