  • Patent number: 11520118
    Abstract: This lens drive device 1 comprises: an autofocus drive unit for performing autofocus using a driving force of a voice coil motor configured from a first coil part 112 and a magnet part 122; and a shake correction drive unit for performing shake correction using a driving force of a voice coil motor configured from a second coil part 231 and the magnet part 122. The magnet part 122 includes first magnets 122A, 122C disposed at two mutually facing sides among the four sides of a substantially rectangular-shaped lens drive device in a plan view, and a second magnet 122B disposed at another side. The side the second magnet 122B faces is designated a no-magnet disposed section R where no magnet is disposed.

  • Publication number: 20180239217
    Abstract: A lens drive device is provided with a shake-correction drive unit for correcting shake by sliding, in relation to a shake-correction fixed part including a shake correction coil part, a shake-correction movable part including a magnet part and a magnet holder, within a plane intersecting with an optical axis direction, using the drive force of a voice coil motor composed of the magnet part, which is held by the magnet holder, and the shake-correction coil part. The shake-correction movable part has a yoke that engages with the magnet holder, and is disposed on the surface side of the magnet part in a direction intersecting with the optical axis direction, the surface of the yoke on the shake-correction coil part side being flush with the surface of the magnet part on the shake-correction coil side.

  • Patent number: 8027502
    Abstract: A speaker device includes a magnetic circuit which includes a magnetic gap, a diaphragm which has a recessed part arranged in the magnetic gap and extending in a direction substantially orthogonal with respect to an extending direction of a magnetic flux in the magnetic gap, and a voice coil which is formed into an annular shape and has a first parallel part extending in one direction and a second parallel part extending in a direction in parallel with the first parallel part and opposite to the first parallel part with a constant space. Particularly, the first parallel part and the second parallel part are arranged in a direction in parallel with an extending direction of the recessed part, respectively. The first parallel part is arranged in the recessed part to be positioned in the magnetic gap, and the second parallel part is positioned above the recessed part.

  • Publication number: 20110150264
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a speaker magnetic circuit which, even if small in its thickness, can reduce an occurrence of magnetic flux leakage so as to obtain a sufficient magnetic flux density in a magnetic gap, particularly in a position where a voice coil is supported. The speaker magnetic circuit (11) comprises a yoke (12) and a magnet group (13). The magnet group (13) comprises outer magnets (21-24) and inner magnets (25-28). The outer magnets (21-24) and the inner magnets (25-28) are magnetized in an oblique direction with respect to their thickness direction.
