  • Publication number: 20160329801
    Abstract: A driving apparatus comprises a stator (21), a rotor (22) and a deformation connector (23). The rotor is connected to the stator through the deformation connector. An external driving force drives the deformation connector to have deformation so that the rotor changes its position with respect to the stator. Under the condition that no external driving force is applied, the deformation connector remains at a force balanced position (x0). The force on the deformation connector comprises a deformation force (F1) of the deformation connector and a first primitive force (F2) in opposite direction to the deformation force (F1). Also provided is a device fabrication method. Because the deformation connector keeps balance under the effect of the deformation force and the first primitive force, a small external driving force is required when the driving apparatus operates near the balance point, hereby reducing power consumption.

  • Publication number: 20160306136
    Abstract: A zoom/focus apparatus and corresponding zoom lens assembly are provided. The zoom/focus apparatus may include a first focus lens barrel (101), a first zoom lens barrel (102), a first ultrasonic motor and a second ultrasonic motor which are disposed coaxially. The first focus lens barrel and the first zoom lens barrel are radially unmovable. The caliber of the first zoom lens barrel is larger than that of the first focus lens barrel. The two ultrasonic motors are used to drive the two lens barrels to move axially by the rotation of the rotors (103, 104), respectively. Because the zoom lens barrel which needs to be moved is disposed at outside of the focus lens barrel, by driving the lens barrels using the ultrasonic motors, the telescoping of the zoom lens barrel and the adjusting of the zoom position can be achieved simultaneously.
