  • Patent number: 9329356
    Abstract: A structure for a voice coil motor providing controllable lens tilt capability. The voice coil motor structure comprises a lens mount for fixedly mounting a lens (12), a focusing coil (6), a tilting coil (5, 7) and magnets (8-11), wherein the focusing coil (6) and the tilting coil (5, 7) are respectively and fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the lens mount (12). The magnets (8-11) are distributed around the focusing coil (6) and the tilting coil (5, 7) to allow the focusing coil (6) to interact with the magnets (8-11), so that the focusing coil (6) drives the lens mount (12) to move front and back to realize lens focusing. The tilting coil (5, 7) is interacted with the magnets (8-11) to allow the tilting coil (5, 7) to drive the lens mount (12) to tilt and realize lens shift. By virtue of the structure, the focusing and controllable tilting angle of the lens can be realized at the same time.
