  • Publication number: 20230393677
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of evaluating a magneto-rheological rotating load device. In a method of evaluating a structural defect of a magneto-rheological rotating load device according to the present invention, the magneto-rheological rotating load device includes a housing, a shaft rotatably installed in the housing, one or more rotary rings connected to the shaft and configured to rotate in conjunction with a rotation of the shaft, a coil part disposed in the housing, and a magneto-rheological fluid with which at least a part in the housing is filled, and the method includes measuring whether a torque value, which is applied when the shaft and the rotary ring rotate, decreases from an initial set value within a predetermined range.

  • Patent number: 9179048
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a camera module. The camera module includes a bobbin unit, a suspension unit and a drive unit. The bobbin unit includes a stationary part which is fixed in a base, and a movable part which is provided so as to be movable relative to the stationary part, with a lens installed in the movable part. The opposite ends of the suspension unit are respectively connected to the stationary part and the movable part. The suspension unit includes a link unit which rotates when the movable part moves relative to the stationary part. The drive unit moves the movable part relative to the stationary part.

  • Patent number: 7907839
    Abstract: An image photographing device including a lens holder including a lens group and a coil unit that generates an electromagnetic force, a housing into which the lens holder is movably inserted, including a magnet that faces the coil unit, an image sensor, and a diaphragm formed of nonmetal and attached to the housing and elastically supporting the lens holder. Accordingly, the diaphragm has a predetermined elasticity although not reducing the thickness, the lens holder can properly follow the signal of the coil unit, the image photographing device is highly producible, and the possibility that the diaphragm is plastically deformed is small. Also, the terminal of the coil unit is connected to a separate terminal unit installed outside the diaphragm, such that the material used to form the diaphragm can be selected regardless of the conductivity, and foreign materials, such as, flux, can be prevented from contaminating the inside of the device and degrading the quality of an image.
