Abstract

Provided is a camera shake correction device including a first yoke plate, a second yoke plate that is opposed to the first yoke plate, a slider located between the first yoke plate and the second yoke plate, and slidable while supporting an image sensor, a magnet supported by the first yoke plate and configured to form a magnet circuit between the magnet and the second yoke plate, a driving coil fixed to the slider and configured to generate a driving force that slides the slider, a non-magnetic sheet provided between the magnet and the slider, and a magnetic fluid provided between the magnet and the non-magnetic sheet.

Claims (49)

1. A camera shake correction device comprising:

a first yoke plate;

a second yoke plate that is opposed to the first yoke plate;

a slider located between the first yoke plate and the second yoke plate, and slidable while supporting an image sensor;

a magnet supported by the first yoke plate and configured to form a magnet circuit between the magnet and the second yoke plate;

a driving coil fixed to the slider and configured to generate a driving force that slides the slider;

a non-magnetic sheet provided between the magnet and the slider; and

a magnetic fluid provided between the magnet and the non-magnetic sheet,

wherein an attracting yoke plate is provided between the second yoke plate and the slider, and a magnetic fluid is provided between the attracting yoke plate and the second yoke plate.

2. The camera shake correction device according to claim 1 , wherein

the non-magnetic sheet and the slider are configured by integral molding.

3. The camera shake correction device according to claim 1 , wherein

the magnetic fluid is provided to cover at least a surface of the magnet on a side of the non-magnetic sheet.

4. A camera shake correction device comprising:

a first yoke plate;

a second yoke plate that is opposed to the first yoke plate;

a slider located between the first yoke plate and the second yoke plate, and slidable while supporting an image sensor;

a magnet supported by the first yoke plate and configured to form a magnet circuit between the magnet and the second yoke plate;

a driving coil fixed to the slider and configured to generate a driving force that slides the slider;

a non-magnetic sheet provided between the magnet and the slider; and

a magnetic fluid provided between the magnet and the non-magnetic sheet,

wherein a second non-magnetic sheet is provided between the magnet and the magnetic fluid.

5. A camera shake correction device comprising:

a first yoke plate;

a second yoke plate that is opposed to the first yoke plate;

a slider located between the first yoke plate and the second yoke plate, and slidable while supporting an image sensor;

a magnet supported by the first yoke plate and configured to form a magnet circuit between the magnet and the second yoke plate;

a driving coil fixed to the slider and configured to generate a driving force that slides the slider;

a non-magnetic sheet provided between the magnet and the slider; and

a magnetic fluid provided between the magnet and the non-magnetic sheet,

wherein the driving coil is fixed to the slider by an epoxy resin, and the magnetic fluid is in contact with the driving coil via the epoxy resin.

6. A camera shake correction device comprising:

a first yoke plate;

a second yoke plate that is opposed to the first yoke plate;

a slider located between the first yoke plate and the second yoke plate, and slidable while supporting an image sensor;

a magnet supported by the first yoke plate and configured to form a magnet circuit between the magnet and the second yoke plate;

a driving coil fixed to the slider and configured to generate a driving force that slides the slider;

a magnetic sheet provided between the magnet and the slider; and

a magnetic fluid provided between the magnet and the magnetic sheet,

wherein an attracting yoke plate is provided between the second yoke plate and the slider, and a magnetic fluid is provided between the attracting yoke plate and the second yoke plate.

7. A camera shake correction device comprising:

a first yoke plate;

a second yoke plate that is opposed to the first yoke plate;

a slider located between the first yoke plate and the second yoke plate, and slidable while supporting an image sensor;

a magnet supported by the first yoke plate and configured to form a magnet circuit between the magnet and the second yoke plate;

a driving coil fixed to the slider and configured to generate a driving force that slides the slider;

a magnetic sheet provided between the magnet and the slider; and

a magnetic fluid provided between the magnet and the magnetic sheet,

wherein the driving coil is fixed to the slider by an epoxy resin, and the magnetic fluid is in contact with the driving coil via the epoxy resin.
