Camera actuator, camera module, and camera mounting device

1. A camera actuator, comprising:

a fixed-side member;

a movable-side member provided so as to be displaceable with respect to the fixed-side member and holding a lens part; and

a driving section including a driving mechanism that generates a driving force that displaces the movable-side member within a plane including a first direction which is a direction of a light entering the lens and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein:

the driving mechanism includes a pair of driving mechanism parts that generate, for autofocusing, a driving force in the same direction to displace the movable-side member in the first direction,

the pair of driving mechanism parts generates as the driving force a resultant force obtained by combining thrust that displaces the movable-side member in a specific direction that is the first direction, and a resistance force that resists an external force acting so as to cause the movable-side member to deviate from the specific direction; and

the pair of driving mechanism parts generates the resistance force based on a spare data stored by calibration performed in advance,

wherein:

the spare data includes an amount of displacement of the movable-side member in the specific direction in the autofocusing, an amount of deviation of the movable-side member from the specific direction corresponding to the amount of displacement, and a current value which sets the amount of deviation to zero; and

the resistance force is a force to reduce the amount of deviation of the movable-side member corresponding to the amount of displacement of the movable-side member in the specific direction in the autofocusing.

2. The camera actuator according to claim 1 , wherein:

the driving section includes a power supply part that causes the driving force to be generated from the driving mechanism by supplying power to the driving mechanism, wherein the driving section generates the resistance force by controlling power supply in accordance the external force.

3. The camera actuator according to claim 2 , wherein:

the pair of driving mechanism parts are arranged side by side in a direction different from the specific direction, and

the pair of driving mechanism parts generates the resistance force to suppress deviation from the specific direction by causing the thrust generated from each of the pair of driving mechanism parts to differ from each other by individually controlling amounts of power supply to the pair of driving mechanism parts.

4. The camera actuator according to claim 3 , wherein:

each of the pair of driving mechanism parts is a voice coil motor including a coil part and a magnet part, the driving mechanism part generating the resistance force, and

each of the pair of driving mechanism parts generate the resistance force by controlling an amount of power supply from the power supply part to the coil part in accordance with the external force.

a support mechanism supporting the movable-side member such that the movable-side member is displaceable with respect to the fixed-side member within the plane.

6. The camera actuator according to claim 5 , wherein

the support mechanism is a plurality of elastic support members elastically supporting the movable-side member with respect to the fixed-side member.

7. The camera actuator according to claim 6 , wherein

the plurality of elastic support members are dispersedly arranged around the movable-side member.

8. The camera actuator according to claim 7 , wherein

the support mechanism is a plurality of balls rotatably held between the movable-side member and the fixed-side member.

9. The camera actuator according to claim 6 , wherein:

the support mechanism supports the movable-side member in a state in which displacement of the movable-side member with respect to the fixed-side member in a direction intersecting the plane is regulated, and

the driving section generates the resistance force that resists the external force acting to cause the movable-side member to deviate from the specific direction within the plane.

the camera actuator according to claim 1 , and

an imaging element arranged at a stage subsequent to a lens part.

11. A camera-mounted apparatus, comprising:

the camera module according to claim 10 , and

a control section that controls the camera module.
