  • Publication number: 20230350275
    Abstract: The lens drive device comprises a voice coil motor, a focus lens unit 13, a main shaft 15a, an insertion hole 13ba, and a screw 30. The main shaft 15a guides the focus lens unit 13 in its movement in the optical axis direction. The insertion hole 13ba is provided in the focus lens unit 13, and the main shaft 15a is inserted therein. The screw 30 is provided to the focus lens unit 13, and suppresses looseness that occurs between the insertion hole 13ba and the main shaft 15a by being attracted in a specific direction together with the focus lens unit 13 by the magnetic force of the magnet 22 of the voice coil motor 20. The voice coil motor 20 is disposed below the position where the screw 30 is provided in the focus lens unit 13 in the vertical direction.

  • Patent number: 8576290
    Abstract: The actuator disclosed herein comprises a coil, a magnet and a magnetism detection element. The magnet is configured to move a predetermined distance relative to the coil via a magnetic force generated when current is passed through the coil. The magnet includes a first polarization line perpendicular to the direction in which the magnet moves relative to the coil, and a second polarization line parallel to the first polarization line. The magnetism detection element is configured to detect the position of the magnet. The coil faces the first polarization line and the magnetism detection element faces the second polarization line. The length from the second polarization line to a first end of the magnet is equal to or more than 1.25 times the predetermined distance. The first end of the magnet is closer to the magnetism detection element than to the coil.
