  • Publication number: 20220334403
    Abstract: A lens driving device includes a lens holding portion, a driving shaft, a vibration member, and a straight-ahead cam mechanism. The lens holding portion has a holding portion for holding a lens body and is movable in an optical axis direction of the lens body. The driving shaft extends and is supported in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis direction. The vibration member is connected to one end of the driving shaft and causes the driving shaft to micro-vibrate. The straight-ahead cam mechanism is supported by the driving shaft and is movable in an axial direction of the driving shaft. The straight-ahead cam mechanism includes a first sliding surface and the lens holding portion is provided with a second sliding surface. By sliding the first sliding surface with respect to the second sliding surface, force is converted to move the lens holding portion in the optical axis direction.

  • Publication number: 20220326473
    Abstract: A lens driving device includes a first movable lens holding portion that holds a first movable lens body, a second movable lens holding portion that holds a second movable lens body heavier than the first movable lens body, a first driving shaft that drives the first movable lens holding portion and a second driving shaft that drives the second movable lens holding portion, and a first guide shaft and a second guide shaft thicker than the first guide shaft. The first and second guide shafts are arranged in parallel with the first driving shaft and the second driving shaft. Loads of the first movable lens holding portion and the second movable lens holding portion are respectively and independently supported and guided by one of the first and second guide shafts, and rotation is prevented by the other of the first and second guide shafts.

  • Publication number: 20220326471
    Abstract: A lens driving device includes a lens holding portion, a driving shaft, a vibration member, and a spring member. The vibration member is connected to one end of the driving shaft and causes the driving shaft to micro-vibrate. The spring member is fixed to the lens holding portion and includes a grip portion that sandwiches and grasps the driving shaft. Extension piece portions that protrude while being bent so as to be separated from the driving shaft are provided at end sides of the grip portion in an axial direction of the driving shaft.

  • Publication number: 20220294944
    Abstract: A lens driving device includes a fixed body, a movable body, a driving shaft, and a guide shaft. The driving shaft is attached to the fixed body in a free reciprocating asymmetric microvibration manner and the guide shaft is separated from the driving shaft and fixed to the fixed body. The movable body holds the driving shaft by pinching and clamping the driving shaft with a spring member and is engaged with the guide shaft. Between the driving shaft and the guide shaft, one of the fixed body and the movable body comprises a magnet, and the other comprises a soft magnetic member that attracts the magnet.
